Chapter 156 Rebooter Base - 13 Both of them were very excited...
Both of them were very excited. Lu Yi cupped Tang Bufan's face in his hands and kissed him repeatedly. Tang Bufan grabbed his clothes, his nostrils suddenly filled with his scent, and his body quickly heated up under the other's arousal.
Anderson, who rushed over, witnessed this passionate scene.
He was taken aback at first, then rolled his eyes speechlessly, and looked past the two of them to look behind Lu Yi.
There stood three people: Fick and Sirius, who were wearing diving suits and carrying oxygen tanks, and a small, green-faced poison man wearing electronic screen glasses.
"You finally found this place," Anderson sneered, then complained to them, "Why didn't you wait until we were both dead before coming here?"
The group was used to Anderson's harshness, so Sirius didn't argue with him and explained with a wry smile, "The ocean is so vast, and this island has an invisible protective shield, so we really can't find it."
The corridor was quiet. Tang Bufan snapped out of his daze upon hearing their conversation. He quickly jumped out of Lu Yi's arms, blushing as he wiped his moist lips with his arm.
"Fix, Sirius, long time no see." Tang Bufan greeted the two of them awkwardly, then looked gratefully at the little poison man and bowed to him: "And you... r5166."
He never expected that the little poisoner, whom he approached with a try-it-out mentality, would actually bring Lu Yi to him.
"Mother!" r5166 felt Tang Bufan's hand stroking his head, excitedly took off his glasses, revealing a delicate face.
The girlish face sent chills down Tang Bufan's spine instantly, his smile froze on his face, and his stroking of r5166 stopped.
r5166's appearance has changed.
Once, he was a slightly introverted but fairly masculine-looking little boy, but now... he looks neither male nor female. Both his facial features and voice are very similar to another person in Tang Bufan's memory... that mutant poison girl who took the initiative to seek cooperation with Tang Bufan, r5165.
In an instant, Tang Bufan immediately understood that r5166 had been grafted with her cells by r5165. Even now, as he stared into those blood-red eyes, he couldn't quite tell who he was actually looking at.
Tang Bufan's reaction was noticed by everyone. The already sensitive little boy immediately lowered his head and picked at his rotting left palm with his fingers.
“He brought us here,” Lu Yi said. “He said he saw a lot of whales when he left the island, so we immediately mobilized satellites to capture large whale pods in the Pacific Ocean. By analyzing their swimming patterns, we determined that there was an unseen island in the center of the whale pods in this area.”
“To prevent Zero from discovering it, we deliberately left the aircraft in the South China Sea,” Fick added. “Since the Führer insisted on coming in person, Sirius and I came along. Now only Brun is in charge of the aircraft.”
"Aren't you in the South China Sea?" Tang Bufan asked curiously.
Tang Bufan understood and thanked the group: "Thank you. Anderson and I were just wondering how to unlock the door and get out."
“We can’t go out now either,” Sirius said worriedly. “The research institute has no power, the access cards Miss Fang Yue gave us are unusable, and the only way out is by breaking through the wall. Besides… we’re running out of oxygen. What’s wrong with this research institute?”
According to their original plan, they would sneak in using the access card given by Fang Yue, hide the oxygen cylinder in a storage room, and then sneak out with the oxygen cylinder after finding Tang Bufan and Anderson. However, they were surprised to find that the entire research institute was flooded, forcing them to continue carrying the oxygen cylinder and sneaking up floor by floor.
Just now, they encountered another large group of mutated poisonous humans who attacked them. After a fierce battle underwater, although the three of them still had some oxygen tanks left, it was not enough for them to leave the island.
"Uh... this water... I caused it," Tang Bufan said somewhat awkwardly, touching the back of his neck with his fingers.
Looking at his short hair, Lu Yi asked with concern, "What happened to your hair?"
"...I cut it myself." Tang Bufan didn't explain in detail, nor did he want Lu Yi to know that he had almost had his head shaved and his brain opened. He just awkwardly smoothed his hair. "Does it look bad?"
"No, you look good." Lu Yi looked at Tang Bufan's slender neck with his short hair draped over it, his voice gentle as water: "Teacher looks good no matter what."
After saying that, he reached out to touch it. His fingers were warm, which made Tang Bufan's heart skip a beat.
"Alright, alright," Anderson interrupted them speechlessly. "We're still stuck here, and you two are just chatting. Hurry up and think of a solution."
“Our spacecraft is already floating in space above the island, but warships from the Eastern Federation and the Northern Federation are still on their way here.” Fick interjected, looking at Lu Yi in the darkness: “Given that our infiltration has been discovered by the enemy, Führer, I suggest that we find a place to hide in this underground research institute and wait for the orc forces to arrive.”
Lu Yi looked down at the rising water level and said, "But at this rate of rise, we can only follow the water level and climb up layer by layer."
Sirius thought for a moment, then turned to Tang Bufan: "Madam, how did you manage to flood this place?"
"I poured quick-drying cement into the drainpipe," Tang Bufan said.
“That’s easy.” Sirius immediately took off the black backpack on his back: “Tell me which pipe it is, and I’ll send the robot in to unclog it.”
"The toilet on the west side, here." Tang Bufan quickly led him towards the toilet.
The group then waded through the water toward the toilet. Sirius, as the technician, used a knife to cut open the toilet's drainpipe and placed the spherical robot he had brought inside.
"I wonder how my son is doing." Anderson leaned against the sink, thinking of his AI "son" Anthony, who had been taken away by Zero.
"Brother Kai too." Tang Bufan also thought of Brother Kai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Xiao Tang, don't worry." Kai Ge's gentle yet mechanical electronic male voice suddenly came from the bracelet on Lu Yi's wrist: "My main unit has always been in the RV. The bracelet that was taken from you was just my extension."
Hearing Kai's voice again after so long made Tang Bufan happy, but he also became concerned for Anderson: "What about Anthony..."
“It doesn’t have a backup.” Lu Yi looked apologetically at Anderson. “I’ll help you get it back from Zero.”
He knew that Anthony was a source of comfort for Anderson.
Anderson didn't speak, but instead raised his hand and bit his thumb with some agitation.
Meanwhile, r5166, who was quietly staying in the corner, kept his head down and kept picking at his left palm with his fingers.
Tang Bufan glanced at him silently, then grabbed Lu Yi's hand.
"I'm going out with Lu Yi for a bit," Tang Bufan said. "We'll be back soon."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Lu Yi out, where they were watched by the others.
“Perhaps it’s his heat cycle,” Sirius said with a meaningful quip as he operated the robot. “The Führer has been injected with suppressants, but the smell is still much stronger than usual. The lady should have noticed it.”
Anderson withdrew his gaze from the two men and gave a soft hum.
Tang Bufan led Lu Yi away to a distance until he was sure their voices couldn't be heard from the direction of the toilet.
He was about to speak when Lu Yi pinned him against the wall and kissed him.
Tang Bufan was taken aback. Feeling Lu Yi's warm body pressed against him, his heart raced, and his mouth began to salivate as he tasted Lu Yi's lips.
“Lu Yi… um… I need to ask you about r5166…” Tang Bufan raised his hand and pressed against Lu Yi’s shoulders, trying to make him stop.
“There’s something wrong with that child.” Lu Yi answered Tang Bufan while kissing him. He didn’t stop, and even put his hands inside Tang Bufan’s clothes to caress his smooth back.
“Hmm…he’s infected…” Tang Bufan was forced to continue accepting his kisses, he frowned: “I want to know…his condition…”
“His cells are being ‘devoured’ by another person’s cells.” Lu Yi’s kiss landed on Tang Bufan’s neck again. As he tried to put his hand inside Tang Bufan’s pants, Tang Bufan finally couldn’t help but raise his hand and pinch his face.
"I know you're in heat." Tang Bufan pinched Lu Yi's face hard, making it chubby. "But you better control yourself. Now is not the time."
Lu Yi took a step back, feeling wronged, and took out a strip of pills from his pocket while controlling his breathing.
"I never knew this feeling could be so unbearable before I met you, teacher." Lu Yi let out a deep breath, took out two small white pills and put them in his mouth, then asked Tang Bufan with concern, "Does teacher want to take some?"
"...I won't eat it, just stay away from me." Tang Bufan tried hard to control his breathing. He was someone who easily became sleepy after taking medicine, and he had been like this for a long time. Last night he barely slept, and to be honest, he was already very tired.
Lu Yi swallowed the pill in his mouth. He wanted to get close to Tang Bufan again, but he was afraid that his smell would make him uncomfortable. So he could only comfort him by holding one of Tang Bufan's hands with both of his own and saying, "That little boy is mutating. We examined his body and found that there is another person's DNA in his body."
“r5165.” Tang Bufan frowned and told him, “A mutant poison human, she is a ‘sprout’ that split off from her poison human mother… They are considered one person.”
“She planted a seed in the little boy’s palm.” Lu Yi said heavily, “After he boarded the aircraft, I noticed that his left hand was clenched, so I asked him to open it. At that time, his palm was already rotten with a shallow hole, and the seed was nowhere to be found… He said he lost it on his way out of the island.”
"Lost?!" Tang Bufan's eyes widened slightly, a sense of foreboding washing over him. "Then what's happening outside now..."
“It has already spread.” Lu Yi sighed softly: “Bren just sent me a report last night that the appearance of the poison people in that sea area is becoming more and more similar. Whether they are female or male poison people, they are looking more and more like the same person... as if they are sick.”
Being stared at by tens of thousands of similar faces from the dark sea was enough to frighten even the elderly Bren.
Tang Bufan frowned as he listened, muttering, "I knew that with the poisonous beings multiplying at such an alarming rate, problems were bound to arise..."
“The only saving grace now is that the ‘cell’ cannot infect humans or beastmen.” Lu Yi grabbed Tang Bufan’s hand, feeling a headache coming on. “We still have too little information about these mutated poison people, so we have to capture Zero alive.”
Tang Bufan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes sharply: "The pass that Miss Fang Yue gave you is real, right?"
“Yes.” Lu nodded. “We swiped her card to get in through the lowest passage. At first, the electronic lock didn’t respond, and I thought Fang Yue was lying to me. Later I found out that the research institute had a power outage. Fortunately, the power was briefly restored for a minute, and then we were able to get in.”
"..." Tang Bufan was too embarrassed to say that he was the one who caused the power outage, and that for the minute the power was on... he was killing "himself" in the elevator.
Thinking of his deceased self, Tang Bufan couldn't help but feel down, but looking at his young and haggard lover in front of him, his depressed and melancholy mood eased a little.
“You’ve lost weight.” He raised his hand and touched Lu Yi’s face, his fingers gently rubbing his cheek.
“…Teacher, you too.” Lu Yi looked down at him, remaining silent for a long time. His deep breathing could be heard in the quiet corridor.
"Can I kiss you?" Lu Yi finally couldn't help but ask, her one gold and one green eye staring directly at the man in front of her.
Tang Bufan smiled faintly, his gaze gentle.
"Let's kiss."
The two then huddled together again. Even though they were in a dark corridor, their feet weren't in the cold water, and water was dripping from their heads, they both felt very comfortable.
Peaceful and serene, simply because the things that bring peace of mind are right beside you at this moment.
But the story isn't over yet.
Tang Bufan controlled the surging emotions in his heart, put down his tiptoes, and rested his head on Lu Yi's shoulder.
Lu Yi touched his back with both hands, still wanting more, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, their bodies soaking wet.
“Since Fang Yue didn’t lie to us, and the pass was given to her by Zero, then I think…” Tang Bufan’s eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness: “If we want to capture Zero alive, we still need her.”
