Chapter 104 Take it off and let me see
Jiang Xun was injured.
This realization made Chen Luan's heart beat faster the moment he opened the door.
At this moment, under the warm light, the alpha who had not been seen for more than a month was wearing a combat uniform that he had not had time to change out of. His fingers were placed on the buttons on his chest, and he was about to unbutton them. There were gauze bandages and medicine bottles on the edge of the coffee table. It seemed that he was about to change the medicine, and he turned around to look at him.
There was even a hint of surprise in his expression.
"elder brother."
Jiang Xun loosened his fingers from gripping the button and stood up. As usual, he slightly curved his eyes and gave Chen Luan a gentle smile: "You're back."
Then he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips: "Sorry, my phone is broken--"
"You're hurt."
Alpha was interrupted before he could finish his words by Chen Luan, who walked over hurriedly without changing his shoes and closed the door.
“…”
The light golden eyes blinked slightly, and the alpha's crow-feather eyelashes flickered. He lowered his eyes to look at Chen Luan's worried eyes, and said in a calm and gentle voice: "It's just a minor injury."
Minor injury?
Chen Luan looked up at him, and for the first time, he sneered at Jiang Xun, "The smell of disinfectant in the living room is almost blowing the ceiling off. The sharks in the oceanarium ten kilometers away can smell the blood on you. Minor injury?"
He crossed his arms, raised his chin and glared at Jiang Xun: "You're not dead, just a minor injury, right? Where are you hurt?"
"On my back."
Under Chen Luan's close gaze, Jiang Xun paused for a moment, and finally said obediently: "...and the abdomen."
"Take it off."
The next second, Chen Luan's slightly nervous voice echoed in the quiet room: "Let me take a look."
The clothes on the alpha in front of him were obviously not the same ones he wore when he was injured. He had changed into new ones.
Just based on the smell that was mostly covered by the disinfectant, Chen Luan had no way of judging how seriously Jiang Xun was injured.
Under the warm light above his head, the undisguised worry and rare toughness in Chen Luan's eyes fell into the alpha's light amber eyes, causing a subtle ripple in the calm cold spring.
Jiang Xun lowered his eyes slightly, looked into Chen Luan's eyes, and nodded meekly: "Okay."
His slender fingers reattached the metal buttons of his combat uniform with a calm movement.
But as the coat was undone and taken off, stretching the muscles on his back, Chen Luan clearly felt that Jiang Xun's movements were slightly delayed.
The dark combat uniform top was taken off, and the smell of disinfectant in the air became more pronounced, revealing a black tight vest that tightly wrapped the body, with the outline of the bandage clearly visible under the fabric.
The alpha's gaze fell on Chen Luan's eyes that were staring at his body. His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his fingertips paused at the edge of the vest.
"Go on."
Chen Luan frowned and raised his eyes to look at him: "What can I see with the vest blocking my view?"
"good."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Xun obediently grasped the lower edge of the vest and carefully rolled the fabric upwards.
A horizontal bandage was wrapped around it, and a little scarlet had seeped out on the left side of the abdomen.
Chen Luan lowered his eyes to look at the dazzling color, his lip line stretched into a straight line. He turned around and picked up the medical cotton swab on the coffee table: "You wanted to change the dressing just now, right?"
Jiang Xun nodded obediently: "Yes."
"sit down."
"good."
Jiang Xun is very tall, especially after all these years of training, he still looks very big when sitting on the sofa.
Chen Luan held the medicine bottle in front of him and circled it twice in front of Jiang Xun. He couldn't find a suitable angle, so he simply kicked the tip of his shoe and said, "Spread your legs."
“…”
The alpha, whose clothes were almost lifted to his chest, felt a dry throat, the pheromones floating in the air swayed, and he lowered his eyes and obediently raised his legs and spread his knees.
Then he watched Chen Luan half-squatting and half-kneeling in front of him.
The eyelashes, which were drooping like bird wings, flickered uncontrollably several times, and the Adam's apple rolled gently at an angle that Chen Luan could not see.
But Chen Luan was completely unaware.
He simply carefully cut open the outer layer of the bandage, untying the layers of bandages one by one with the gentlest movements. Occasionally, his hands would wrap around the alpha's waist, and his breath would fall lightly and heavily on the alpha's skin that rose and fell with his breathing.
The bandages that had been wrapped several times became thinner and thinner as they were removed. Chen Luan's fingers occasionally rubbed the skin between his waist and abdomen, and the breathing from above suddenly became heavier.
The alpha sitting in front of him suddenly adjusted his sitting position.
Chen Luan paused in removing the bandage and looked up at him: "?"
"Tsk, don't move."
The golden pupils, which had dimmed slightly at some point, drooped, and the alpha's voice was already a little hoarse: "Okay."
The last layer of bandage was removed, revealing a long piece of gauze on the left side of the abdomen fixed with medical tape, with blood seeping out from it.
The smell of blood and a strong medicinal flavor filled the air at the tip of my nose.
The gauze was stuck with the congealed blood.
Chen Luan pursed his lips tightly and carefully used tweezers to pinch the gauze stuck to the edge of the wound: "It may hurt a little, just bear with it."
"If it hurts, pinch this?"
Jiang Xun's voice, with a hint of laughter, suddenly came from above his head, and a bright orange-yellow light flashed before Chen Luan's eyes.
Chen Luan stared at the plush ball in Jiang Xun's hand, which was obviously a bit old, and was stunned for a moment. His eyes curved upwards, and the corners of his tightly clenched lips finally relaxed a little:
"You still have it?"
He had bought these little toys to entertain his child at the pediatric department, and he thought Jiang Xun had thrown them away long ago.
"Um."
The voice above my head paused: "It's a pity that it can't bark anymore."
"It's been more than ten years. Isn't it a bit too much to let it make a sound?"
Chen Luan chatted with Jiang Xun, but his hands did not stop moving: "I only spent 19 yuan to buy it."
Before he finished speaking, he gently pulled off the last bit of gauze.
Under the bright light above his head, Chen Luan's breathing suddenly stopped.
Under the sight, a hideous wound more than ten centimeters long ran across the tight and beautiful muscles. The edges were red, swollen and curled, with traces of disinfectant and anti-inflammatory drugs.
A long row of staples clung to it, but it also seemed to have climbed up Chen Luan's chest, which suddenly felt sore.
The air seemed to be frozen in my throat, unable to be exhaled or swallowed.
The fingers holding the tweezers stopped in mid-air. Chen Luan put down the blood-stained gauze, and his fingers reached out and hovered above the wound, not daring to touch it.
"...You call this a minor injury?"
Chen Luan turned around and picked up the disinfectant and medical cotton swabs. His voice became a little dry: "If it's longer, it can be called the 38th parallel."
After the words fell, he asked again: "...Does it hurt?"
"What's wrong with you? Can you rip yourself open while driving a mecha?"
It was clearly a teasing tone, but Jiang Xun could clearly hear a very slight nasal sound in Chen Luan's seemingly stable voice.
"fine."
Jiang Xun responded softly.
From his angle, he couldn't see Chen Luan's eyes, which were covered by his hair, nor could he see his expression clearly. He could only see his high nose bridge and his light-colored lips, which were carefully pursed.
The moment the cotton swab wrapped in cold disinfectant touched the edge of the wound, the undulating muscle lines suddenly tightened a little.
Jiang Xun breathed softly, his eyes fixed on the red mole on Chen Luan's neck, which swayed as he disinfected and applied the medicine.
"The mecha is not on."
"The pollution index in contaminated area n4167 has suddenly become abnormal. We're going to rescue them. A team of ecological researchers in the contaminated area is trapped in the ruins of a city. They're trapped in a residential building by a herd of beasts, and the mechas are too big to enter."
"n4167?"
Chen Luan pinched his fingers in front of him and paused: "Isn't that a low-risk area?"
"No. Not anymore."
A sigh descended from overhead: "The ecological core has revived. That team of researchers witnessed a primitive wild beast."
"Juvenile body."
Juvenile body? !
Chen Luan frowned deeply.
How is that possible??
Wild beasts have extremely long lifespans, but their juvenile stages are incredibly short, as short as five years! Without a mother to incubate them, how could a newborn be born?
"Not only in N4167, but also in several other polluted areas where abnormal increases in pollution indices have occurred, abnormal fluctuations in pollution levels of high-risk species have also been detected."
"The fleet believes that those fluctuations do not originate from desolate species, but rather... from primitive desolate beasts."
Jiang Xun's voice remained steady, but Chen Luan's heart trembled like thunder.
An absurd idea popped up uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart, and he heard himself utter it slowly in a slightly difficult voice:
"Is it possible that back then—"
Jiang Xun and Chen Luan looked at each other:
"Yes, the fleet suspects that the Beast Mother is not dead. She is still dormant in Contaminated Area 0."
"...That's why," Chen Luan's throat rolled, "the military ordered the suspension of all field training."
If this is true, then the unusual movements in the polluted area over the years can be explained.
The Mother Beast is equivalent to the emperor of the wild beasts. She is also the disseminator of genes of wild species and the breeder of new wild beasts.
It is like a super-powerful signal tower. When it is strong, it can continuously release certain signals that humans cannot capture, and constantly give birth to new polluting ecosystems.
If the previous war between Chen Luan and his men caused the Beast Mother to be severely damaged and enter a dormant period, giving humans the opportunity to retake the land, then it is obvious that it is now slowly waking up.
Wait until it wakes up completely,
...Will humanity face doomsday again?
The military is currently holding a meeting to discuss whether to risk sending a team into the core area of No. 0 to explore. Is this also for this?
The living room window was open, and from inside the house you could see the flickering lights of the gamers outside, swaying in the evening breeze.
This is the peace they have fought so hard to win.
Will it be broken again?
Chen Luan didn't know.
But he suddenly felt that he should believe that if humans could defeat them the first time, they could defeat them the second time.
must.
When the cloud covering the moon drifted away, Chen Luan had also treated the wounds on Jiang Xun's abdomen and back.
The wound was very long and deep, caused by the slashes of the desolate beast's limbs when they were covering the team of researchers' withdrawal from the encirclement of the beasts.
Fortunately, that area was no longer in the core zone with high pollution concentration. In addition, Jiang Xun was evacuated in time after being injured, so he was not infected like Chen Luan.
The wound should not be exposed to water.
Jiang Xun originally wanted to pretend to be weak and let Chen Luan help him wash, but Chen Luan, who saw through his trick, responded by stuffing a roll of plastic wrap into his arms and kicking him into the bathroom.
"You come back here full of energy, and then you're told to take a shower and you're instantly unable to take care of yourself? Go wash yourself."
Jiang Xun, who had eaten a door panel, looked at the plastic wrap in his hand in silence for a while.
ah,
Acting coquettishly doesn't seem to be working anymore.
By the time Jiang Xun came out of the shower, Chen Luan had already lain down on the bed, leaning against the back of the bed with the desk lamp on, holding a tablet and reviewing the students' performance today, so that he could start targeted training later.
There was a knock on the door. Chen Luan looked up and saw Jiang Xun, who had changed into his home clothes and was standing at the door with a small blanket in his arms. "Can I come in, brother?"
