Chapter 110
Pei Zhao buried his head in Zhou Yuli's shoulder, feeling a little bit of shackles and obstruction, and felt even more aggrieved.
Tears flowed cheaply. Pei Zhao used this method to vent all the emotions that had been accumulated in his heart for the past few days.
The obstacle disappeared instantly. Pei Zhao, who was crying miserably, only felt a strong arm holding his buttocks and picking him up. The arm passed through the back of his thigh and held him in the arms. The other arm covered his arm and turned him over to face up, leaning on the man's arm.
The faint light reflected on my blurry eyes, making them tearful.
Pei Zhao raised his hands to cover his eyes.
"Zhou Yuli..."
"I'm here." Zhou Yuli wiped away Pei Zhao's tears and comforted him gently, "I'm here, Pei Zhao, don't be so miserable."
Even if you want to live a normal life, as a puppet, I can understand.
Even if I can only watch you from afar, I still...
"Zhou Yuli, she looks exactly like my mother in her youth..."
The intermittent words disrupted Zhou Yuli's thoughts.
He even thought he didn't hear clearly, and asked again: "Mom?"
But Pei Zhao was crying so hard that he didn't even know if he heard his question clearly. In the quiet and narrow room, only Pei Zhao's suppressed sobs could be heard.
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Zhao finally calmed down. Beneath his calm face was a sadness that could be revealed at any time.
He opened his eyes, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and seeped into the hair on both sides. He looked at Zhou Yuli with numb eyes.
Zhou Yuli was filled with reluctance, so he avoided Pei Zhao's heartbreaking gaze, lowered his head, and kissed Pei Zhao's slightly opened lips.
The air is suddenly robbed, and the brain instinctively fights for the right to breathe.
But the effect was minimal. The soft touch conquered his mouth, almost relying on the desire to survive. Pei Zhao struggled and resisted violently. When they were about to separate, he took the initiative and sucked hard regardless of the consequences.
Their breathing began to become heavy, and the two people gradually rolled to the ground.
There was a hint of blood in my mouth.
The distance between them widened, Zhou Yuli wiped his red lips, propped up his body, and called the name of the person under him.
"Pei Zhao?"
Pei Zhao grabbed him with one hand, curled up his legs, and his body trembled violently. Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yuli might have thought that was a sign of his arousal, but now, Pei Zhao’s eyes were tightly closed, and an abnormal blush appeared on his cheeks.
"Pei Zhao, Pei Zhao!" Zhou Yuli keenly realized that something was wrong and called out his name.
Pei Zhao was slow to answer, and at this moment, Bai Zhou's loud shouting came from outside the house.
"The sun is up! It's a black sun today!"
·
Black sun.
Zhou Yuli couldn't remember when he had heard the legend about Heiyang.
The black sun symbolizes the end of civilization, and everything will be reset to zero.
Black Sun will end everything in the world.
On the first floor, Miaoyin was sitting on the ground, holding an empty bottle in her hand. Inside the bottle, a pink fleshy worm was struggling to crawl out, as if it was very thirsty for the external environment.
"Don't go out, today is the day of death." Miaoyin hooked her fingers to tease the worm.
Looking up, I saw Bai Zhou standing inside the door and by the window, his face showing that he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
Miaoyin asked cheerfully, "Where is your little master?"
Bai Zhou swallowed his saliva and pointed in the direction of the upstairs.
"Are you...still resting up there?"
Miaoyin stood up, walked to the corner of the stairs, bent down and looked up, "Little Pei Zhao?"
Zhou Yuli looked at the events happening before his eyes in shock.
The hay under Pei Zhao actually grew new green sprouts where Pei Zhao touched.
And on Pei Zhao's skin, hints of emerald green texture gradually appeared.
Zhou Yuli's heart trembled.
Wood grain? Not really.
Besides, my feelings towards Pei Zhao have never changed, so how could Pei Zhao suddenly become an idol?
Or, this is not evenification.
There was another puppeteer downstairs, and a terrible idea emerged in Zhou Yuli's mind.
"Wonderful sound."
When she came to her senses, Zhou Yuli was already holding Pei Zhao and standing in front of Miaoyin.
He looked panicked and bent his long legs in a half-kneeling position, revealing some skin that was suitable for Pei Zhao to show.
"Please take a look at him. His body is undergoing strange changes!"
Miaoyin lowered her head and saw that on Pei Zhao's exposed arm, there were crawling some things as thin as silk and like plant fibers.
After just one glance, Miaoyin understood.
"This represents the change in the puppeteer's energy, which means that your energy can be shared."
Miaoyin's eyes fell softly on Pei Zhao's pale face, "Some puppeteers will open this function permission to let the puppet provide energy for themselves...but the one he has seems to have opened it the wrong way."
Zhou Yuli seemed not to have heard clearly: "What function...reverse?"
"Well, that is to say, after activating this function, if the puppeteer is injured, the puppet will consume itself to extend the life of the puppeteer. Conversely, if the puppeteer is injured, the puppeteer will also sacrifice his own life."
Miaoyin's voice was very soft, but what she said made Zhou Yuli terrified.
When exactly is it?
Pei Zhao actually enabled such a function?
Zhou Yuli was breathing rapidly, and the green threads appearing on Pei Zhao's body in his arms appeared and disappeared from time to time, and finally disappeared under the normal skin.
"Pei Zhao, Pei Zhao."
While in a daze, Pei Zhao heard someone calling his name.
"Zhou Yuli." Pei Zhao's consciousness answered.
But his body was very heavy, as if countless thin and tough threads bound him tightly.
My body hurts.
Pei Zhao opened his eyes and saw Zhou Yuli's worried gaze and exclamation in front of him.
“You’re awake!”
He couldn't tell how many times he woke up under Zhou Yuli's gaze, but that man always had an indifferent expression, as he had long been accustomed to receiving the most gentle good morning kiss every morning.
But today is so different.
"Zhou Yuli, why are you crying?"
Pei Zhao's voice was weak, which made Zhou Yuli's heart ache suddenly. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground.
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. I won't hurt myself intentionally in the future. I will protect myself."
The Pei Zhao whom he always strived to pursue, the Pei Zhao who always analyzed the battle situation calmly, and sometimes even the Pei Zhao who was too indifferent.
When he makes a mistake, he will be punished by not being allowed to go home.
I will also unhesitatingly connect his life with my own.
Zhou Yuli had never realized as clearly as he did now that the fragile young man in front of him, his master, Pei Zhao, actually loved him so much.
When thousands of people were trampling on him like an ant, his high and mighty master picked up his heart full of inferiority and lack of self-confidence, pieced it together bit by bit, and coated it with a layer of coagulant with his own blood.
"You know, I love you, so don't be stupid again, Zhou Yuli." There was no trace of blood on Pei Zhao's face, but his eyes were gentle. Although it hurt even to breathe, he still endured it and raised his hand to touch Zhou Yuli's face.
Touch the scar which is one shade lighter than the surrounding skin.
"Now we are fair."
·
As the Dark Sun Day approached night, Miaoyin suddenly suggested going out.
"Isn't it said that Black Sun Day is the day of civilization extinction? It's too dangerous to go out now."
After a day of getting along, the young people, although not friends, were colleagues with good relations.
In particular, Pei Zhao privately told Zhou Yuli that Miaoyin looked exactly like his mother when she was young. Although it was not known whether it was a coincidence or for some other reason, this fate invisibly brought everyone closer together.
Zhou Yuli poured a glass of water for Miaoyin and placed it in front of her. He poured another cup and personally handed it to Pei Zhao's mouth, letting him sip it bit by bit.
Pei Zhao privately activated the function. At the beginning of the activation of the function, the body needed to pay the price of being transformed again.
Zhou Yuli asked whether this transformation would cause harm to his body, but Pei Zhao said that this was just his choice. On the one hand, this special connection between them could make him feel more at ease. On the other hand, it would also allow Zhou Yuli to protect himself rationally because of Pei Zhao when he wanted to hurt himself.
Almost every hour, Pei Zhao had to endure great pain.
It was not until a few minutes ago that the last wave of pain subsided. Pei Zhao felt as if he had been fished out of the water, his entire body soaked with cold sweat.
Zhou Yuli took good care of Pei Zhao, and Pei Zhao finally recovered most of his energy. He was now trying hard to drink water.
"It's too dangerous outside. What are you going out for?" Pei Zhao selfishly didn't want the girl who looked like his mother to get hurt, even though she claimed that she was hundreds of years old.
"Don't you want to go back to the system center tonight?" The girl didn't seem to expect him to ask back. Her expression revealed a hint of surprise, but she quickly recovered and smiled cunningly at Pei Zhao.
Pei Zhao was stunned, his eyes focused with distraction: "Can I go back tonight?"
Miaoyin stroked her hair and said, "Well, who said it wasn't true? But I have to go out and clean up the battlefield. On a Black Sun Day, no one dares to go out unless they are a fool."
Pei Zhao frowned: "Will it be dangerous for you to go out?"
"Is it dangerous? Of course it is." Miaoyin tapped Pei Zhao's forehead lightly, "But fortunately, it's not risky."
Miaoyin walked to the door and waved to Pei Zhao: "If the number of people reaches 20%, the system will notify you by voice and ask you whether you choose to leave this world. It will also tell you the time and coordinates of the teleportation. We may not be able to teleport together, so once you receive the notification, don't wait for me. You must rush to the coordinates within the time."
Pei Zhao looked at her in a daze. Zhou Yuli nodded: "I remember. I will take him there. Don't worry."
Miaoyin nodded and smiled brightly: "Then I'll go."
The door opened and closed, and the surroundings fell into silence.
The explosions seemed to be close to them, as if some liquid had fallen on the leaves on the roof.
It falls to the ground little by little along the texture of the leaves.
Drip, drip.
