Chapter 150 Preparations before the Snowstorm
Screams were heard all around, and Lu Ming rushed over.
As she hugged the boy, an air shield appeared above them, blocking the fallen branches and snow piles, and then a stream of air lifted them up and placed them steadily on the ground beside them.
The imagined pain did not come. Hearing the screams beside him, Lu Ming opened his eyes, put down his hands that were blocking his head, and then saw the branches next to him and breathed a sigh of relief.
The little boy was a little confused and didn't know what was going on. A woman nearby immediately ran over, with red eyes, and thanked Lu Ming repeatedly, then took the child away and examined him carefully.
The people around were stunned for a moment before they reacted and applauded them.
Only the person opposite who did a good deed had an unhappy expression on his face.
He ignored others, strode over, took Lu Ming's hand, and walked forward.
When he reached the bottom of a building where no one was nearby, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked with a frown, "What are you doing?"
Lu Ming was a little confused, "I'm saving people."
"Then why did you rush over to block it for him yourself?"
"I... this is the only way I can save him."
"Then do you know that this is dangerous? You could get hurt."
Lu Ming said nonchalantly, "It should be fine. My skin is very tough. At most, it would just be a little scraped off. The pain will go away after a while. Besides, I can still heal."
Gu Chao was annoyed. "When will you learn to rely on me? I know you might not get hurt this time, but what about next time, and the next time? There will always be unexpected situations. And my actions are much safer than yours. Next time, can you trust me a little more?"
He held Luming's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "I don't want to see you get hurt, even a little bit. It will hurt my heart, do you understand? I don't care about others, I just want you to be fine."
Hearing this, Lu Ming's heart felt sweet and soft. She now felt that she had been a little impulsive, so she took the initiative to hug Gu Chao's neck, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, and acted coquettishly with him: "Okay, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again next time. I'm sorry, don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Gu Chao lowered his head and kissed her fiercely, until her legs became weak, she gasped, her face flushed, and she leaned on him.
He stroked Lu Ming's long hair and sighed, "I really can't do anything with you, you little rascal."
Lu Ming chuckled a few times, then suddenly ran away, picked up a big snowball on the ground and threw it at him.
"puff."
The snowball was caught by his arms and scattered, falling to the ground.
Gu Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, his look dangerous, "Are you trying to play tricks on me? Huh?" Then he took a big step forward to chase Lu Ming.
Lu Ming laughed and screamed, then turned around and ran away, throwing snow at him as he ran.
Gu Chao gave in to her and didn't use his special ability. He also picked up a small snowball and threw it at Lu Ming. Lu Ming almost always dodged it and then stood there laughing proudly, "I missed! Haha!"
Then the chase started again.
After playing for a while, Lu Ming was caught by Gu Chao. He grabbed her, hugged her in his arms, and then "punished" her with a deep kiss.
The two walked back side by side, and Lu Ming asked, "By the way, should we go out and look for supplies? The food in my space now needs to be cooked over a fire, which is not suitable for the survivors to eat during this period, right?"
"Yes, so we have to leave early, tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"good."
-----------------
The next day.
Following the route planned by Li Hangyuan, the two set off in a modified Wrangler.
There was also a lot of snow outside, and the road was not easy to drive on, but their car was equipped with anti-skid chains and had a high chassis, so it was not affected much.
This time, unlike usual, their first stop would be the farthest city, W, and then drive all the way back. This way, if something went wrong, they could immediately drive back to the base, and next time they would find a chance to get out, they wouldn't have to run so far.
The two took turns driving, eating and sleeping in the car, and stopped to rest for a while when they were tired. They drove like this for three days and three nights before reaching their destination.
The weather is getting colder, and the exposed skin is often blown by the wind until it becomes numb. Everything in front of my eyes is white, making it difficult to tell the direction.
On this day, the second heavy snow fell, blocking people's vision. After collecting supplies for a day, they cleared out a hotel at night and prepared to spend the night there.
Lu Ming took out the thermometer and saw that it showed minus 17 degrees Celsius.
"It drops by one degree almost every day. No wonder it's called the ice age."
She stood in front of the window, holding the hot water, looking out the window, breathing out white air and sighing.
Gu Chao came out after washing up, wrapped the moisture on his wet hair with air flow and threw it on the ground. He walked behind Lu Ming, hugged her, looked out the window, and said nothing.
Lu Ming gave him a sip of hot water and asked him, "Are you worried about the capital?"
"Um."
"Don't worry, the capital should be fine now. They will do a good job of protecting it from the cold."
In the original story, when Qiao Sisi arrived in the capital after the ice age, she did not see a tragic scene.
Gu Chao did not answer.
"Or are you worried about your father?"
"You don't know, he has so many enemies. I'm afraid..."
Lu Ming also remained silent, because she didn't know the exact situation. What if her father was suffering from some kind of torture at this time, and Gu Chao knew about it later, he would definitely feel very regretful.
"How is your relationship with him?"
"Growing up, he was very strict with me and rarely spent time with me. I only stayed with him for a little over two years before going to training camp. The training camp was a closed-door environment, and I could only go home once a year. During the three-day holiday, I only saw him for half a day."
"Ah..." Lu Ming suddenly felt heartbroken and turned around and hugged him tightly.
Poor little guy, he just lost his parents, and the person who adopted him doesn’t often accompany him. His life must be very difficult.
Gu Chao felt warm in his heart, and patted her back to comfort her silently.
"Do you usually think about him?"
"Normal times? Actually, not really. When I first arrived at the barracks, I was very skinny and often failed the training programs. The veterans were also a bit unfriendly, so every day I only thought about how to become stronger and didn't have much time to think about anything else."
"Later, I was selected for the special forces and didn't go home for many years. However, I had more contact with him because I had to take on missions." Gu Chao laughed softly, seeming to find it quite interesting.
Lu Ming patted his back and asked, "Do you have any other family members?"
It seems like I've never heard him mention his adoptive mother?
"I didn't have much contact with my previous family members. After he adopted me, I gained an uncle and a cousin. My father and my uncle's wife both died young, so my cousin and I have no mother."
"Then your father has no biological children?"
Gu Chao was silent for a moment after hearing this question. Just as Lu Ming was about to say that if it was inconvenient to talk about it, forget it, he replied, "Yes, I have."
