Chapter 56 Returning Home
The system's eyes widened.
After two seconds, it lost its voice: [——No, why? What did he do? How did you get together? When did this happen!?]
Didn’t the two of them just fight a decisive battle, sleep for two days, and just wake up now?
What link did it miss?
Qi He took a deep breath, calmed down from the deafening brainwaves, and briefly summarized the whole process:
"I was quite moved, so I kissed him and then confirmed our relationship."
system:【……】
It seems like everything has been said, but it also seems like nothing has been said.
The reactions from those around me were all mixed up.
Yang Cheng's eyes were filled with the expression "Is this the kind of relationship you two have?" Guan Shangchun stopped pretending and stared at him with a cold smile. Xi Moqing was a little surprised and gently pulled his military cap. Gong Lianyu was still hanging on the boarding gate. He twisted his neck in shock for a few seconds and shouted:
"...What? Yan Chuanbai, have you confessed your feelings yet?"
Zhuge was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Le Yunyu and said, "Huh?"
Le Yunyu closed his eyes, unable to bear the sight.
Shu Ling wisely stayed away from the war zone and watched the show quietly.
The people in the military were also shocked.
Only Zhong Panqing frowned slightly. "...What are they surprised about?" General Gong took in everyone's reactions, digested them for a few breaths, and then turned around and said, "Young people's affairs are becoming increasingly complicated...complex."
Yan Chuanbai raised their clasped hands again.
He looked around and nodded: "Thank you for the blessing."
Qi He: “…”
Everyone: “…”
The system couldn't help but: [Is anyone blessing? ]
Qi He analyzed his thoughts: "Maybe for him, those who didn't jump out and curse were blessings."
Having said that, he still let Yan Chuanbai pull him.
Yan Chuanbai glanced at him and smiled.
Then, he held Qi He's hand and turned around, turning back to the crowd with a smile on his face, saying, "Just send it here. We'll leave first."
After saying that, he and Qi He got on the helicopter.
The hatch slammed shut.
Everyone gasped, their eyes blazing with anger: “…”
…Level 5S, no way to beat him. Never mind, never mind.
General Gong drove everyone back from the military headquarters, and he was actually a little angry. He took two deep breaths and turned to Zhong Panqing and commented:
"He was right not to come to headquarters in the first place."
Zhong Panqing maintained his attitude: "Everything is the best arrangement."
-
I got on a helicopter and had a pilot flying.
The two sat in the back seat.
The helicopter flew back towards Base I, and Yan Chuanbai still hadn't let go of his hand. Qi He didn't notice it either. He pondered the information for a while and asked:
"What's going on between you and Guan Shang?"
The slightly rough fingertips rubbed his finger bones carefully. Yan Chuanbai said "Hmm?" and said without hesitation:
"Isn't it obvious, love rival?"
He went on to say, "Now, do you understand why we are fighting?"
“…”
Qi He took a deep breath: So, isn’t it because everyone is provoking each other?
The system is superior and arrogant: [He, He, He. ]
The cabin was quiet for a moment.
After Qi He reshaped his cognition, he remembered something. He reached into his pocket and inserted the "Seed Head" back into the system.
"Your precious watch?"
A sound suddenly rang out beside me.
Yan Chuanbai looked down, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Can you show it to me?"
Qi He paused for a second, then took his finger off and gave it to him: "Okay."
【! ? 】
Yan Chuanbai bent his lower lip and took it in his hand. His eyes were deep, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He seemed to be playing with it casually, but his eyes were always fixed on it.
system:【. 】
Qi He sat aside, watching the system go silent. "Why are you so silent? Isn't he your 'male protagonist'?"
The system held its breath: […I don’t know, but there’s a subtle sense of embarrassment.]
There is also a sense of crisis that is nowhere to hide.
Yan Chuanbai played with it for a while and asked casually, "You treasure it so much, what function does it have?"
Qi He said: "Quite a lot, for example, it can display the time."
The dial paused, and the time emerged skillfully and humiliatingly.
“It also comes with a guide.”
The compass is switched again above.
"And navigation..."
[——I told you there’s no navigation!!]
Yan Chuanbai seemed to be amazed, "Oh, so it's voice-controlled."
【……】system.
“…”Qi He.
Yan Chuanbai looked at it for a few more seconds and then returned the system to him. "It has quite a lot of functions. No wonder you treasure it so much."
The system is now completely silent.
Qi He snapped it back onto his wrist and lowered his eyes. Thinking of that "binding"... that "plot"... his fingertips touched the surface, then, intentionally or unintentionally, looked back ahead:
"Of course, it has a lot of hidden functions."
The hand at his side tapped lightly, but he said nothing more.
…
More than an hour later.
The high walls of Base I finally came into view, and a helicopter flew through the sky, heading straight for the central helipad.
By this calculation, I haven't been back to base for nearly a week...
Qi He sighed and looked down.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed.
The open space in the center of the base was a sea of people. You Tianxing, Xia Jiu, and Yu Jiang were at the front of the group, a large red banner hanging before them. As the helicopter approached, the words on it came into view:
"Hero! Hero!"
"Welcome Qi He and Yan Chuanbai back to their hometown!"
Probably because he saw a helicopter approaching.
Ji Yan in the crowd raised his hand and a heart-shaped fire circle flew out. Yu Jiang looked up and said, "Puff!" A column of water splashed out: "Welcome, welcome."
“………”
They both stared at each other for a few breaths.
After a moment, Yan Chuanbai said calmly: "Or turn around."
Qi He felt the same way, "Okay."
The driver took it seriously and asked, "Huh? Where are you transferring to?"
Yan Chuanbai stared down for a few breaths, and then his expression calmed down again.
"Forget it, let's land."
-
The helicopter landed in front of the helipad.
A group of people gathered around! The hatch opened, and the two of them got off the helicopter. They saw You Tianxing standing at the front, wearing a handmade colorful hat on his head, smiling:
"Welcome back~ Hero of humanity, pride of Base I."
Qi He looked at the familiar handicraft...
Yan Chuanbai took a quick glance and pointed out directly: "Did you organize this?"
You Tianxing laughed cheerfully.
Beside him, Yu Jiang was still splashing water. Xia Jiu held a paper whistle from somewhere in his mouth. He blew it twice, "Toot...Toot...", then let it go nonchalantly and said:
"Well, he said he wanted to celebrate for you."
Yan Chuanbai looked at it for two seconds, then took Qi He's hand, looked around and said:
"Thank you, I accept your blessing."
“…”
Everyone was suddenly silent:???
Two seconds later, a splash of water exploded.
The strong current splashed on You Tianxing's face, waking him from his dream. He stared at the two people's hands in a dreamlike state, then stared at Qi He's face without any rebuttal, and then turned to look at Yan Chuanbai's harmonious and natural expression:
"……What?"
Yan Chuanbai curled his lips and said softly, "They even specially prepared a celebration ceremony for us. That's very thoughtful of them."
You Tianxing's smile petrified his face.
The system couldn't stand it anymore: [...Yan Chuanbai really is a dog. ]
Qi He accepted it well: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago?"
The crowd in front of him was silent for a few moments, and then burst into an uproar!
Shocked glances and voices echoed through the crowd, including several familiar faces. Meng Yan uttered her wood-type voice again, "Fuck?"
Zhou Ziqian opened his mouth wide: "Brother Yan, you didn't admit it at the beginning!"
Mo Jiayan shouted, "Captain! I told you they were having an affair!"
Yu Jiang's face flushed red as she pulled Yu Jin aside and whispered excitedly, "What are they talking about? What kind of celebration is this?"
The rest of the crowd all said in unison: Holy shit!
"Are Colonel Yan and Instructor Qi a couple?"
"Aren't they always fighting each other?"
…
Yan Chuanbai put one hand in his pocket, looked around calmly, and took in some pleasant words: "Thank you, thank you."
Qi He turned to him: ...
"System, the zombie virus can't invade his brain. It's probably because they haven't seen this kind of structure before."
[He, don't ask me. You two are the same.]
After announcing it in satisfaction.
The crowd of onlookers was finally dismissed by the exhausted You Tianxing. He glanced at Yan Chuanbai who was still holding Qi He's hand, and with a twitch of his eye, he got back to the point:
"...Anyway, come back and rest for two days. Everything is going smoothly at the base, the full defense alert has been lifted, and the special ability team has begun accepting missions out of the city again."
Yan Chuanbai nodded, indicating that he understood.
Qi He suddenly said, "The headquarters should have also given you the report on the source."
You Tianxing was stunned, his expression turned serious: "Yes, I didn't expect...it was actually through water recycling pollution."
The fastest and most difficult way.
Qi He thought for two seconds and said, "Our base has advantages. Next, we may need to prepare to accommodate more survivors."
Everyone paused slightly, then turned around.
Other bases rely on consuming large amounts of crystal energy and using technological means to purify the base's water circulation system. However, they have an S-level water purification ability user.
Yu Jiang was sitting in a wheelchair and couldn't hear clearly:?
Qi He didn't talk much here, "Let's go back first."
After saying that, the two of them walked towards the tall building.
It was already evening, the golden sunset slanting across the horizon. After walking a little further, Qi He looked back: Yu Jiang was still sitting in the wheelchair at the other end, her silhouette shrouded in a golden hue by the afterglow, her long, flowing hair akin to a cloud of divine light.
He smiled slightly and turned back.
They can rest for a while. Next, it's Yu Jiang's home game.
-
Back to the high-rise building, got on the elevator.
The elevator stopped at the 28th floor. With a ding, the door opened. Qi He walked out and said to Yan Chuanbai:
"I'm going back first."
Yan Chuanbai looked at him: "Yeah."
After saying that, he didn't look away.
The elevator door slowly closed... He snapped it shut! He looked at Qi He for a few seconds, as if he wanted to say something, then pressed it back: "...Forget it, you should have a good rest today."
Qi He: “?”
Yan Chuanbai's hand had already withdrawn: "Good night."
The elevator door slammed shut in front of me.
Qi He stood there for a few seconds before turning around and walking back: "System, does he want to say something to me?"
The system didn't want to enlighten him: [Let's chat.]
It's just a few steps to the door.
Qi He temporarily withdrew his thoughts and walked in. He had been very tired these past few days, so he first grabbed a change of clothes and went to take a shower.
When I came out of the shower, it was already dark outside the window.
Scattered rays of light fell on the glass.
Qi He wiped his hair and sat at the end of the bed, facing the French window in front of him. He curled up on the quilt beside him, with the seedlings on his head, looking more and more like a Ram:
【what's on your mind? 】
"I still feel like he wants to tell me something."
[……]What are you talking about? Just some dirty talk.
"Tell me," Qi He thought for a few seconds, "is he trying to ask me about 'you' and 'the script'?"
Ram beside him suddenly fell silent.
The more Qi He thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
Today on the helicopter, their conversation was full of hints. Yan Chuanbai had always been aware of something unusual about him—they had known this for a long time and had tested the waters several times.
He wanted Yan Chuanbai to know about the plot.
But the last time he delivered the message directly to Yan Chuanbai, the other party avoided the question intentionally or unintentionally.
"System, after you kill the main program and tell Yan Chuanbai about the plot, will the world line still collapse?"
【No.】
Qi He narrowed his eyes and stared at the top corner line, weighing it: "It's a bit risky to raise it directly. Let me think about it, is there any bug that could cause it..."
——It can hint at one’s own identity and the script, while also ensuring that even if it is said, it will not affect the collapse of the world line.
The system squeezed out the code juice: [No? ]
Qi He didn't answer, his thoughts continued to race for a while.
After a moment, he said, "I thought of it."
system:【? 】
Qi He curled his lips, his eyes reflecting the bright light from the French windows: "Then I will create a new 'copy' for myself."
【……What's the meaning? 】
"I'll create a script for myself. If I act like I'm out of character and act like I'm on a quest, I'll have Yan Chuanbai expose the truth. That way, he'll only be exposing the script I gave him, not the world line's 'script.'"
Qi He clasped his fingers together and said, "I used the script I created to test the waters and give a confession that was just a passing fad."
In the game, this is called armor stacking.
The system's mechanical brain spun several times: [...So, how do you want to go OOC? What kind of scenario do you want to create?]
"I'm too lazy to rewrite it, so I'll just borrow one from the previous script."
Qi He stood up and put the system on the bedside table. "You stay here, I'm going."
The system had an ominous premonition: [Wait, which one are you going to learn from?]
Qi He looked around and said, "Let's adapt to local conditions."
After saying that, he walked to the window, pushed it open, and jumped out.
【——! !!!】
Click, the window bolt made a sound.
Inside a room on the 29th floor of a high-rise building, Yan Chuanbai had just pulled his clothes on. Hearing a noise, he yanked them down and turned around to see a familiar figure leap in, slamming the window shut.
Yan Chuanbai paused for a moment, then relaxed.
He put one hand in his pocket, a casual and bright smile between his drooping eyebrows: "If you want to come in, why bother climbing through the window? My door is always open for you."
After Qi He settled down, he looked at the surroundings.
As soon as you arrive, you are immersed in the show, it has already begun.
He ignored Yan Chuanbai's mumbling and turned his gaze back: "Turn off the lights."
"?" Yan Chuanbai paused.
He didn't understand but did as he was told. He turned around and turned off all the lights in the room, leaving only a circle of light strips that maintained the lowest brightness, and sporadic light that faintly came in from the window.
After he closed it, he stood up and looked: "What next?"
The script for reference has been chosen, and it is a plot that is very much in the style of the original owner: "...you go all out, take off your white shirt, stand in front of Yan Chuanbai, and flirt with him."
Qi He looked at him for two seconds, then raised his hand and took off his clothes: "Come here, Yan Chuanbai."
“………”
Yan Chuanbai suddenly held his breath.
The author has something to say:
System: He didn’t feel it was ooc at all!
Yan Chuanbai: I showed off well today, will you reward me?
