Chapter 46 This is Word of Mouth
Qi He said: "Aren't you curious?"
System: [What are you going to do!!]
Qi He glanced at the script and gave it a preview: "I was deeply moved by his confession and called him 'dead ghost'."
【——! 】
Seeing that he didn't move, Yan Chuanbai called out again, "Qi He?"
Under the system's horrified gaze, Qi He looked at Yan Chuanbai and said, "I'm touched that you still remember to call me."
system:【…? 】
Yan Chuanbai: “?”
He lowered his eyes to look at Qi He for a long while, and said calmly, "What kind of prejudice do you have against me?"
Qi He said calmly, "My mortal enemy."
Yan Chuanbai raised his eyebrows.
system:【……】
It finally breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly realized: [No, you just lied to me on purpose!?]
Qi He curled the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly, he came forward and said, "I understand that you put me in a position of equal strength?"
Qi He came back to his senses and raised his eyes.
Yan Chuanbai stood before him, his gaze resting lightly on the corner of his mouth before moving up to meet his eyes. His posture was relaxed, yet his eyes sparkled with activity.
A challenge? No...
Qi He changed his mind and speculated, "Is this also considered a part of 'declaring love'?"
"no."
Yan Chuanbai finished speaking and suddenly leaned forward. His fingertips gently hooked across his palm and whispered in his ear, "Want to fight me, or do anything else with me... I'm always here for you."
A tingling sensation went straight from my ears into my heart.
Such words were enough to seduce him and made Qi He's breathing tremble.
Then Yan Chuanbai stood up and smiled at him: "This is the way to show your love."
“…”Qi He.
【! 】system.
Yan Chuanbai said, then turned around and said, "Let's go."
…
Qi He took a deep breath and followed.
The two walked through F City one after the other. The system observed Qi He for a moment and tested him:
How do you feel?
Qi He was unwilling to accept the fact: "I was at a disadvantage just now. If I had known earlier, I should have put the preview I gave you into practice."
【……】system.
After a moment, it went numb: [When you review a love game, you shouldn't be strategizing about the characters, you should be attacking them.]
Qi He was amazed and began to think about whether he had programmed the virus into the system's language program.
He didn't respond and the conversation ended.
The things in the guard room had been packed up by the adjutant, and they went out of the city gate, where the helicopter was already waiting.
The faint morning light broke through the clouds.
The propellers whipped up a violent gust of air.
Yan Chuanbai grabbed the boarding pole with one hand, his shoulders flat and back broad under his uniform, his shrugged shoulder blades seemed to be accumulating explosive power. With a neat leap, he boarded the helicopter.
Qi He looked at his back.
How does it feel?
With the relationship between the two of them—
Whether it's the "protagonist" and "cannon fodder" arranged in the plot, or the "object" and "tasker" based on the plot. Or even an evenly matched opponent, a teammate fighting side by side...
Yan Chuanbai developed a love for him because of this.
This gave him an unprecedented and attractive sense of novelty.
Qi He withdrew his gaze, took two steps and jumped onto the helicopter.
-
Two hours later, the helicopter landed back at Base I.
As per convention, the S-class will hold a short meeting.
As soon as they got off the helicopter, Qi He and Yan Chuanbai went straight to the institute's conference room. You Tianxing and Yu Jiang were already waiting inside and saw them walk in one after the other.
Yu Jiang locked onto him for a moment, and followed...
Yan Chuanbai paused and stopped at the seat opposite her. "Thanks for the serum."
Yu Jiang was slightly startled and listened attentively: What's pouring out?
She was stunned and said, "Oh."
Qi He also sat down nearby and asked You Tianxing, "Where's Xia Jiu?"
You Tianxing smiled brightly: "The lab is busy, she's on her way here..."
Before he finished speaking, the door opened.
Xia Jiu's short hair flew up as he rushed in, pulled out a seat and sat down, "Here I come, let's start."
There was a lot to cover in this meeting.
Yan Chuanbai first summarized the battle situation and the subsequent deployment of Base III: "Base III is under the command of Yang Cheng, with a total of two S-level soldiers. Currently, there are two combat officers left at the headquarters, plus three auxiliary combat officers, so the combat power is still sufficient."
You Tianxing reminisced: "Yes, especially when an officer is promoted to the front line, he can be equivalent to half a combat system."
Yan Chuanbai narrowed his eyes and said, "The summary is complete. Next topic."
“…”
Everything is in good condition at the base.
After the first batch of S-level antibodies was produced, we started to rush to produce the next batch.
"The development of serum is more troublesome and time-consuming." Xia Jiu leaned back in his chair with his arms folded. "Currently, the focus is still on antibodies."
"Anyway, thank you all for your hard work during this period."
After the meeting, You Tianxing clapped his hands together and said, "Well, everyone, come to my house for dinner tonight~"
After he finished speaking, Yan Chuanbai suddenly put his fingertips together and said, "You've worked hard, why don't you come to my house for dinner?"
Everyone looked sideways:?
You Tianxing was surprised: Yes, that’s what people say!
He stared at Yan Chuanbai in disbelief: "Were you captured by a zombie? Did you mutate?"
Yan Chuanbai and Qi He paused at the same time.
On the opposite side, Xia Jiu suddenly looked sideways and narrowed his eyes.
After a moment's pause, Yan Chuanbai looked at Yu Jiang with a normal expression, "Are you coming?"
Yu Jin had been taking care of Yu Jiang's daily needs since she arrived at the base. She paused, her gaze shifting slightly, then, with a flushed expression, she said, "...Yes."
Yan Chuanbai nodded, "Okay."
…
The regular meeting ended and everyone dispersed.
You Tianxing accompanied Yu Jiang and other Yu Jin as usual.
Qi He and Yan Chuanbai left the meeting room. Just as they walked a little further, a pair of footsteps followed them: "You——"
The two stopped and turned around.
Xia Jiu put one hand in his pocket and looked at Yan Chuanbai.
There was no one in the corridor. She focused her eyes on Yan Chuanbai for a few breaths, then walked closer and said with certainty: "You have been infected."
After two seconds, Yan Chuanbai said, "Yes."
Qi He looked at Xia Jiu: Her ability of "identification" is indeed more direct and specific than that of an instrument. But since Xia Jiu didn't have any strong reaction, that means...
"But it's okay now."
Xia Jiu took a quick look and said, "You have a... parasitic species in your body? Fortunately, there's only one, and it was suppressed by the serum. Your own immune system will be able to metabolize it later. If there were more, I'm afraid even the antibodies wouldn't be able to suppress it."
Yan Chuanbai was startled and suddenly looked at Qi He.
He recalled being pushed away the moment he opened the sesame hybrid. Qi He then crushed all the pollen and seeds inside, leaving only one.
The system was terrified: […He, this is all linked together. If we miss a step, Yan Chuanbai will be crowned king.]
Qi He remained calm: "I just said it was a combination skill."
Xia Jiu added: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Yan Chuanbai nodded, "I will report to the headquarters later. This matter should be classified as 'top secret'."
The control room is upstairs.
They walked a few steps to the stairs, and Yan Chuanbai said again, "Come for dinner tonight." Then he turned and went upstairs.
Xia Jiu was shocked by his enthusiasm!
She turned to Qi He and said, "He survived a great disaster and found that it is better to be a 'human'?"
“…”
Qi He sighed: "Do you also have a prejudice against him?"
Xia Jiu took a breath and couldn't explain it clearly: "This is word of mouth."
-
During the day, everyone has their own things to do.
Yan Chuanbai said the dinner time was around 6:30 in the evening. When it was almost six o'clock, Qi He suddenly received a message:
"I just returned to the apartment after re-taking my level assessment."
"Want to come up?"
Qi He stared at the message and raised his eyebrows. Yan Chuanbai said he had done a measurement, but he didn't say what the value was. From his feeling, it was at least 4S level, but he didn't know if it was even higher...
He seemed to be hooked, but he didn't reject it.
Qi He didn't reply and took the elevator upstairs.
There were two knocks and the door opened.
Yan Chuanbai was standing in the entrance. When he saw it was him, he smiled and said, "Are you here?" Then he turned around and let him in. The ingredients waiting to be processed were already placed on the cooking table.
Qi He closed the door and walked over: "What level are you now?"
Yan Chuanbai rolled up his sleeves to his forearms and handled the ingredients skillfully. "Guess."
Qi He narrowed his eyes, "4S level."
The other party's tone rose at the end, as if to confirm him, "Yeah, it happens to be 4S level."
Qi He was about to ask something when Yan Chuanbai said, "I have already reported the infection to headquarters. It stands to reason that infected 4S-level people are potential risks. However, what headquarters means is that there are super 4S-level people around me who can suppress me——"
After saying this, he said as if it was natural: "Now, I really can't leave you."
Qi He: “…”
The system looked at this familiar scene, gritted its teeth and closed its eyes.
Qi He paused, then understood, "So the skill you evolved for the third time is adhesive."
Yan Chuanbai said shamelessly: "It could also be a way of expressing his true feelings."
The system sneered: [Hehe, I think it's just a bunch of tricks.]
"..." Qi He got back on track, "So what is it?"
Yan Chuanbai's ice ability had already reached the microscopic level after its last evolution. He couldn't imagine how far it could go after the third evolution.
Yan Chuanbai frowned and felt it: "It seems a little different, but I haven't had time to..."
Qi He looked down: Different?
Suddenly, two beeps interrupted the conversation.
Yan Chuanbai wiped his hands and picked up the communicator. His eyebrows jumped at first, and then he took a deep breath:
"You Tianxing is downstairs."
Qi He was silent for a second, then said objectively, "Although it's a little early, it won't give you such a headache."
Yan Chuanbai continued: "Take Gong Lianyu with you."
"..." Qi He didn't hear clearly, "Who?"
Did someone sneak into their base?
Yan Chuanbai received the call and said, "Base II has lifted its full quarantine, and he came to our base to get the antibodies. When he met You Tianxing, he naturally asked to come up and have dinner with him."
As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.
The topic of evolution was temporarily interrupted, and Yan Chuanbai went to open the door. "We'll try again later about super powers."
-
The door opened, and Gong Lianyu rushed in like a golden retriever: "Surprise~"
He snapped his fingers, snap!
Qi He narrowed his eyes: "What did you steal again?"
Gong Lianyu floated comfortably in the living room, like a ghost full of yang energy: "It's still your strength, it's really useful, Qi He."
Yan Chuanbai didn't want to lose sight of him and went to prepare the food.
Gong Lianyu rarely gets to run wild in other places, so he doesn't stop for a moment. "By the way, Yan Chuanbai, I heard that you took the initiative to treat me to dinner today? When did you become so generous and sociable?"
You Tianxing said happily: "It is said to be a reward for everyone."
Gong Lianyu was shocked: "He still has such a heart!"
An ice cone burst out from the air!
Gong Lianyu dodged and fell back to the ground with a plop, then closed his mouth after calculating the situation.
It was almost half past six and other people began to arrive.
Meng Yan and Xia Jiu walked in together.
Meng Yan's eyes instantly fell on Yan Chuanbai, as if she had found a treasure: "Brother Yan has been injected with serum, do you think his blood can be used now..."
Xia Jiu hissed, "Wait until I tell you it's okay to take it, then talk to him."
Yu Jiang was pushed into the house by Yu Jin. She looked around curiously and found a corner near the kitchen where she quietly pricked up her ears.
Zhou Ziqian was shocked when he saw a large group of people. "Brother Yan, when did you have so many friends?"
Yan Chuanbai raised his eyes and smiled coolly.
Mo Jiayan followed closely behind and said to Ye Yi, "Captain! Look, I'm not the only one saying this!"
system:【……】
Qi He: “…”
The living room was already in an uproar.
Yan Chuanbai continued to prepare food without being affected.
When everyone arrived, he made a few appetizers and set them aside. Qi He thought of his past help and walked over, "I'll take it to the living room."
Yan Chuanbai looked at him for two seconds and said with some pleasure, "Okay."
Qi He carried the plate over.
Yan Chuanbai also turned to get a bowl from the other end. He walked across the aisle behind the kitchen counter. Amid the excitement of the S-level mental powers in the room, his mental power seemed to be slightly affected.
A few thin vines quietly spread out from the gap behind the cooking counter, with a small tip.
…
In the living room, everyone was in chaos.
Everyone knew each other, so the atmosphere was relaxed for a moment. A few appetizers were placed on the table, and everyone ate and chatted.
Behind the sofa, a figure poked its head out stealthily.
Gong Lianyu stared at Yan Chuanbai behind the cooking table, activated his supernatural power for the second time, and stole something quietly.
Snap! A popsicle appeared in his hand.
He licked the food he was eating alone with great satisfaction. Before a party, a little snack was a must...
The next moment, a numb feeling came from the tip of the tongue.
There was a muffled sound of plop.
Everyone in the living room was startled and looked up to see Gong Lianyu lying straight on the ground.
Everyone immediately stood up and rushed forward:
"What's wrong!"
"Are you okay, Gong Lianyu?"
Qi He also came over.
Gong Lianyu opened his mouth, drooling as if his whole body was paralyzed... When he saw Yan Chuanbai coming over, a faint light suddenly burst out in his eyes!
He stuck out his tongue and shed two lines of tears:
"Yan, Yan Chuanbai, is there poison in your ice?!"
Everyone: “…”
"?"
Yan Chuanbai and Qi He were both stunned.
The author has something to say:
Xia Jiu: Yan Chuanbai, you seem like a different person when you come back this time!
You Tianxing: Yan Chuanbai, you have become a human being when you came back this time!
Gong Lianyu: Yan Chuanbai, you've come back like a completely different person this time! [Breaking down in tears]
