Chapter 15 Why is the estranged senior always like this?
She covered her hot earlobe and asked, "Senior, why are you always like this?"
Wei Yan lowered his eyes to look at her and gestured for her to continue.
Xu Nuo said: "He always looks like he's concerned about his junior schoolmate, acts familiar to her, and makes some misleading movements, as if we've known each other for a long time."
Wei Yan's gaze gradually dimmed beneath his tangled hair, but he still responded softly: "Yeah."
"You should know that this is not good. It will make people feel strange and cause misunderstandings..."
Wei Yan looked at her quietly.
"Relationships between people don't require too much of this kind of behavior. As long as everyone has a heart to make friends, then..." The look he gave her made Xu Nuo pause.
She said uncomfortably, "Anyway, we can be more normal."
Wei Yan did not refute, but lowered his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes looked a little depressed.
The wind in the pit was noisy and the people around were busy and noisy, but at this moment the world seemed to be suddenly quiet, with only the shallow breathing of the person in front of him.
After a long pause, he whispered, "I'm sorry."
He spoke sincerely, and the wind blew away the last word, making it weak and disintegrating, disturbing the pounding heart in his chest.
Xu Nuo suddenly felt that he had gone too far.
She stammered, "Although Senior did help me a lot, saving me, helping me out, treating me to meals, training me, and helping me gather information..."
Wei Yan was really helping her and never let her suffer any loss. The connection was just a little deeper than a normal one. Maybe he just didn't know the boundaries of relationships between strangers, or maybe... Yes, Fu Xue said that he had never been purified by a guide and would never be that kind of person.
A long sigh was heard from the bottom of the pit by the wind. Wei Yan didn't say anything. Xu Nuo felt guilty and didn't know why he was so emotional. He also thought that he might be so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to him, so he secretly looked up.
The man who had been looking down at her caught her guilty glance. When their eyes met, she was once again overwhelmed with guilt: "I'm sorry, I was just talking nonsense."
The person in front of me sighed.
Xu Nuo hurriedly looked up and saw the young man lower his eyebrows and gave her an apologetic and gentle smile: "Xu Nuo, I'm really sorry, I went too far."
Promise:!
She felt extremely guilty: "I should have apologized. I shouldn't have said that to you, Senior."
Wei Yan raised his lips sadly: "Don't blame me, junior sister, it's my fault that some of my behavior was not in line with the rules. I won't do that again..."
Xu Nuo - Xu Nuo regretted it very much and wished he could turn back time and shut up.
Seeing that the topic was becoming increasingly distant, she quickly interrupted: "So why did you bring me to Xicheng District last night?"
Wei Yan said calmly, "My hearing is sharper than that of ordinary sentries. I heard some noise to the west. It was the mutants in the contaminated area fighting. I wanted to show you their species."
Xu Nuo: "Did you see that phantom walker last night?"
"Yes," Wei Yan replied, "It wasn't originally heading this way. Instead, it was circling the polluted area. I don't know when it changed direction."
Xu Nuo: "You mean, within three hours of our departure, something drove it towards the base?"
Wei Yan looked down at the pit below: "Rather than something driving it or the Illusion Walker's own abnormal state, I suspect there is another mutant here...
Xu Nuo frowned: "You mean, right now, here, and now, someone alive is nearby?"
Wei Yan: "Maybe."
Xu Nuo took a deep breath and looked around, "Shouldn't we be on guard? There are so many people here?"
A technician approached and said, "Guards, the contamination monitor shows a low level. We can consider there to be no mutant threat."
Wei Yan: "The bottom of the pit?"
Technician: "The value at the bottom of the pit is four times that of the surface, but it's within the normal range for contamination by mutant corpses."
"Not here?"
Xu Nuo was surprised and asked, "Is he going to the city?"
"Notice, the entire city is under martial law."
…
Xu Nuo got into the special car of the Security Department with a worried look on her face. Instead of thinking about the emotional issues, her mind was now filled with the tragic destruction of the Yueshan Base in the novel.
When the hero and heroine went to investigate, it had become a new polluted area. The collapsed high-rise buildings and broken limbs in densely populated areas were shocking. There were also many humanoid monsters deformed by pollution lurking in the dark.
The large unknown mutant that was killing crazily disappeared mysteriously.
Logically, such a large, destructive mutant would be easily detected and captured once it took action, whether escaping or disguising itself. However, when the protagonists searched the remaining surveillance cameras throughout the city, they found no trace of the monster, and the recorded audio information contained no sounds resembling its own.
A monster that was over a hundred meters tall and could destroy a city in an instant disappeared silently, just like the one currently suspected to exist in the capital base.
If it's because of her butterfly effect...
"...I'm sorry to trouble you." Fu Xue, who was sitting next to her, said apologetically.
Xu Nuo shook his head: "It's nothing, I live here too, it's my duty."
According to Wei Yan, since some security personnel were escorting the Finno Group back home and there was a shortage of manpower, she hurriedly became a member of the security team.
"The animation reconstructed by the technical department shows that the speed at which this Phantom Walker crashed into the city wall far exceeded the normal threshold. The collision most likely occurred when it was being pursued or when it was experiencing an abnormality," Fu Xue said. "Look at this pit. It's almost the same width from top to bottom. Some of the soil at the bottom of the pit was blown into the rubble of the collapsed city wall, stopping at a certain depth. Assuming this was caused by another mutant, its purpose wasn't to create a passage to escape."
Wei Yan said in the headset: "There is very little surveillance in Xicheng District. Apart from this big pit, there is no trace to prove its existence. We need to know the purpose of digging the pit."
Xu Nuo: "If it hadn't dug this hole, we wouldn't have discovered there was another one?"
Wei Yan heard a loud noise from the other end of the phone: "Not necessarily. It's huge, and security will be here in ten minutes."
Yes, the only monster that could dig such a huge pit was a monster of even greater size. Security could have seen it from afar on their way to the scene, but the truth was, they found nothing until they arrived at the scene...
Xu Nuo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it possible that this pit was dug just to ensure that security wouldn't find it, and it did."
Fu Xue paused typing on the computer: "Disguise?"
Wei Yan: "It's possible, but we checked the bottom of the pit and the pollution level is normal."
"Then...what if its size can grow or shrink?"
