Chapter 218 Sleepwalking
The man in the lead seemed to sense something, and the next second, his eyes swept over.
Lin Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly and waved slightly, which was a silent greeting.
Unexpectedly, the other person turned around and came towards her.
She had no choice but to put her hand down awkwardly, especially when she caught a glimpse of her younger brother Shen Xingbo, who was following behind Shen Xinglan with a sullen look on his face.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart: What's that look? She was just waving, not beckoning! The legs are on Shen Xinglan herself, what does it have to do with her!
When Chen Wanwan, who was standing next to them, saw the expressions of the two, unpleasant memories came to her mind. She took two steps back and gave up her seat.
When the two of them were almost there, Lin Chuchu moved her back away from the stone surface and stood up straight.
"You're going on a mission right after you've recovered from your illness? Can't you take a couple of days off? Are you working so hard?"
Shen Xinglan's complexion did look much rosier, completely different from his previous pale complexion.
After all, he had received special training and had excellent physical fitness, so it didn't matter if he was in a coma for several days.
"It's not a dangerous mission, just treat it as a stretch."
His amber eyes suddenly lit up because of Lin Chuchu's caring words, and froze because of the sweat running down her cheeks.
Has her body become so weak?
"You don't look well."
Lin Chuchu noticed Shen Xinglan's gaze and quickly raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face. "I'm wearing too much. It's a bit hot."
The coat slid down along with the movement of her arm, and she caught it and hung it on her arm.
Shen Xingbo said coolly, "I can see it's really hot."
A cool breeze blew by, refreshing the heart, especially for Lin Chuchu, whose back was covered with a layer of sticky sweat. Her soul began to shiver.
It’s so cold!
“…”
Shen Xingbo tightened his jaw, "Captain Lu's clothes? Hurry up and put them on. After all, it's a gift from your boyfriend. It doesn't matter if it's hot."
Lin Chuchu frowned and glared over.
Can’t you say nice things nicely?
As soon as his arms were free, his clothes were pulled out.
Shen Xinglan opened his coat and put it on her again, "Don't let the wind blow you when you're sweating."
His tone was light, but his movements were gentle and meticulous, and he even helped her button up her collar.
As a result, the two of them were too close, so close that when Lin Chuchu raised her eyes, she could see his focused brows.
The slightly cool fingertips touched the sensitive skin of her neck, and she swallowed subconsciously, "I'll do it myself..."
"It's already healed."
Shen Xinglan took two steps back and kept a safe distance. "I'll go over and help first."
He turned and left before she could react.
Shen Xingbo followed closely behind, looked back at Lin Chuchu's watery eyes, mouthed "I'll wait for you", and left.
The moment he turned around, he narrowed his eyes.
You said you didn't like it, but your eyes were wide open!
Chen Wanwan didn't speak until the two of them had walked away. "They...they...how..."
She didn't know how to describe it.
Lin Chuchu shook her head like a broken drum this time, "I don't have that hobby..."
Chen Wanwan's eyes widened. Which hobby?
——
The mountainous area was humid, and the temperature dropped as the night progressed. Lin Chuchu had already buttoned her coat all the way up and wrapped herself in a blanket. Even so, she still felt the damp and cold air she breathed into her lungs.
Groups one and two gathered together to review the task.
Lu Feng, the highest-ranking military officer here, remained silent. He showed no reaction to other people's secret gazes, and his eyes were only on the girl who was half leaning on him.
It can be seen that she was extremely sleepy, but she was still trying hard to maintain a bit of clarity.
Lu Feng just raised his mouth when he was interrupted.
"Captain Lu, could you please give me some advice on tomorrow's mission?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could hear the dissatisfaction in this statement.
"Zhao Mo!"
Liu Penghui warned, "What opinions do you want on an inspection mission?"
Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
But I don't agree with it in my heart.
All the military districts have spread the rumor that Lu Feng has become a god, but who would have thought that in reality he only revolves around one woman.
While one group is fighting among themselves, the other group is just watching.
Shen Xinglan was carelessly poking at the fire. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cold female voice:
"Would you like me to give you some advice?"
He raised his eyes slightly and saw Lin Chuchu gently raising her eyelids, sitting upright with a faint sneer on her face.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Zhao Mo disliked Lin Chuchu in the first place. She took a deep breath every three steps and a light breath every two steps. If it weren't for her, their group wouldn't have been moved to the periphery to circle around.
"If you want to talk, then you..."
"Zhao Mo!"
Liu Penghui suddenly stood up and pulled the man up, "Come out with me!"
Xu Quan got up quickly and said, "I'll go and try to persuade them!"
The three of them disappeared from everyone's sight one after another.
After the excitement died down, several members of Group 2 started talking about the route again.
"My face turned pale with anger."
Lu Feng took Lin Chuchu into his arms again, "Are you still cold?"
Lin Chuchu looked at him sideways, "Are you going to let others control you now?"
"It doesn't matter."
The forehead was gently pressed.
"I'll just let you control me."
“…”
On the other side of the fire, Shen Xinglan lowered his eyes.
The flickering firelight danced on his superior facial features, alternating between light and dark, making it impossible to tell his true emotions.
——
After another full day of patrol, it is uncomfortable to drive and even more uncomfortable to ride.
Lin Chuchu returned to the dormitory with her body stiff. She took off her shoes and fell onto the bed.
Chen Wanwan followed suit and lay down, letting out a sigh of relief, "I can finally straighten my back!"
After a while, he spoke carefully: "Chu Chu, actually Zhao Mo is not a bad person, he is just dissatisfied with the temporary change of route..."
"Why would he be dissatisfied with the commander's order?"
Chen Wanwan guessed, "Maybe he thought there was no danger outside, so he was wasting his talent..."
Lin Chuchu turned over and met her eyes. "You are wrong, Xiaowan. Danger is everywhere."
It’s like there is a sleeping alien in her brain now. Isn’t this dangerous?
"Go to bed early."
Lin Chuchu closed her eyes and her breathing gradually became even.
In the dim light, I seemed to hear some sound.
She wanted to open her eyes and ask Chen Wanwan if she heard it, but she couldn't open them no matter what.
The whole body seemed to be tightly bound by invisible ropes, and time was infinitely stretched.
Weird and awkward syllables, chanted over and over again.
Scenes flashed by.
The pitch-black sky, the huge full moon, the rocky ground, the ghostly black shadows...
The chanting sound gradually became clearer, as if it exploded directly in the ear canal.
Lin Chuchu suddenly opened her eyes, breathing heavily, her heart pounding wildly.
Was that just a dream?
System: "Host, the situation is urgent! You are still dreaming!"
Lin Chuchu's back stiffened and she immediately held her breath.
She was standing in front of a hospital bed - the bed of a "mutant" who was locked up in a quarantine facility.
Very good, not only dreaming, but also sleepwalking.
Lin Chuchu probably understood her situation and asked calmly:
"Where's the alien in my head?"
"No, no, it's gone..."
