Chapter 16 Desert Gas Station - 3 Electronic Eyes...
The electronic eye watched the extremely nervous man, its red light flashing.
“No, Xiao Tang, Lu Yi didn’t access your database.” Kai’s electronic male voice was gentle: “He only had Evelyn upgrade my system and add some functions, that’s all.”
Tang Bufan felt a sense of relief and let out a long sigh of relief as he leaned back in the driver's seat.
"That's great!" Tang Bufan's heart was pounding. "Luckily, he didn't rummage through it."
He was still uneasy after saying that, so he ordered Kai: "If I really enter the East District Underground City in the future, or... die in the middle, you must delete all the information about me."
He didn't want to be studied after his death.
“Okay, Xiao Tang.” Kai Ge responded gently, but after a while he said again, “Completely deleting those files will make me forget you too, and I’m sorry.”
Tang Bufan was taken aback. He leaned back and raised his head, staring at the camera.
"Did Lu Yi perform any emotional transformation on you?"
"Yes, I was originally a military AI with only a low-level emotion system. Lu Yi upgraded this module of mine." The electronic eye stared at Tang Bufan, its voice gentle: "Appropriate emotions can help me better assist you."
"Is that so..." Tang Bufan felt a little uneasy after hearing this.
“If you feel uncomfortable, I can imitate the ‘Kai Ge’ in your mind.”
A window popped up on the glass screen showing the AI personality settings.
"Uh... never mind." Tang Bufan waved his hand at the camera: "Although I initially thought of you as Brother Kai to comfort myself, you are you."
The electronic eye flashed red, and after a while it said gently, "Okay, Xiao Tang, I'm very happy to hear you say that."
Tang Bufan raised an eyebrow and smiled. Strangely, a motorhome could actually be happy.
Tang Bufan tapped the personality settings window to close it and continued reading the RV's status report.
Three hours later, Lu Yi brought back a pack of wolves. He caught the alpha wolf, which was over two meters tall, and carried it on his shoulder. Its furry body was even bigger than Lu Yi.
Upon seeing this, Tang Bufan immediately picked up his gun and limped to the window. He opened the window and shouted at Lu Yi, "Why aren't you transforming into a beast?"
After Lu Yi transforms into a beast, his height will increase to nearly 2.7 meters, making it much easier for him to carry this restless wolf.
“No need to transform into a beast.” Lu Yi held the furry wolf tightly with his arm, not getting too close to the RV. “Teacher, throw the chains out to me.”
After he finished speaking, he stepped on a female wolf that was trying to pounce on him, his black military boot pressing firmly against its belly.
Tang Bufan saw that each wolf was covered in blood and that Lu Yi was handling the situation with ease, so he put down his spear with peace of mind and limped to get the chains.
The chain was heavy, and Tang Bufan was weak. It took a lot of effort to barely throw one of the iron locks out of the window. Lu Yi grabbed one end of the chain with one hand from the air, kicked away the howling mother wolf at his feet, and threw the lead wolf on his shoulder heavily to the ground.
Dust flew everywhere. The alpha wolf was thrown around by Lu Yi, leaving it dizzy and bleeding from its mouth. Before it could even struggle to its feet, Lu Yi had already wrapped a chain around its neck.
Lu Yi handcuffed it to the back of the RV, and the alpha wolf began to struggle, its immense strength causing the RV to sway slightly.
Ignoring the other wolves, Lu Yi leaped onto the roof of the RV, which was over three meters high, and opened the small sunroof between the solar panels.
Tang Bufan closed the window, stood in the carriage and looked up at him. The orc boy nimbly jumped down from the skylight, his leather boots stepping on the clothes scattered on the ground.
"We need to put clothes on these wolves and release them as soon as possible." Tang Bufan felt the RV swaying slightly and worried: "This wolf king is strong, the RV can't withstand its torment."
“They’re in a group, how do we disperse them?” Lu Yi asked him.
“We’ll lead the lead wolf, break the leg of one of the wolves so it can’t catch up and falls behind. The injured wolf will definitely be targeted by the hyenas and will run around randomly. We’ll drive around releasing them one by one, and the wolf pack will scatter,” Tang Bufan said.
Lu nodded, looking down at the pile of clothes on the ground: "Then I..."
"Lie down and get out of here." Tang Bufan sat down by the window.
"..." Lu Yi pursed her lips and didn't move.
"Don't be shy," Tang Bufan coaxed him. "It's just rolling around a few times."
Unable to resist his urging, Lu Yi had no choice but to sit down in the pile of clothes on the ground, using his two strong, long arms to gather the clothes on the ground to himself.
Is this okay?
"How much scent can you pick up like that? Rolling around is much faster." Tang Bufan looked at him seriously: "You're handsome, you're handsome no matter what you do, trust me."
"Really?" Lu was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Really." Tang Bufan bent down and reached out to brush away the bangs that fell across the boy's forehead, revealing the handsome face of the orc boy.
"Look at you, even with your hair casually tied up, you exude a fashionable vibe. Anyone who didn't know you would think you were a male model on the runway. If you're not handsome, who is?"
Lu Yi blushed a little from Tang Bufan's praise. Tang Bufan pressed on and continued to coax him, "Besides, there's no one else here but me, so feel free to get out of here."
“But I never rolled around…” Lu Yi still hesitated.
"A life without rolling on the ground is incomplete," Tang Bufan said seriously. "It'll make up for your childhood."
"..." Lu Yi was coaxed by him, and then looked at the pack of wolves pawing at the RV behind Tang Bufan's window before slowly lying down in the pile of clothes.
He first lay on his back and took a breath before his tall, muscular body began to roll around in the pile of clothes.
Tang Bufan was able to keep a straight face at first, but seeing a handsome young man rolling around in front of him... the scene was a bit funny, especially when Lu Yi's hair bun at the back of his head accidentally caught a piece of clothing, which rolled onto his face as he rolled around, and Tang Bufan couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes.
He laughed.
Lu Yi, who was already feeling ashamed, deflated instantly upon hearing the laughter. He lay on the ground, covering his face with his arms, his exposed ears and neck turning completely red.
"I knew you were just trying to fool me, teacher. You're not handsome at all..." Lu Yi wailed, but couldn't help laughing along with Tang Bufan's laughter, his whole body turning red: "Ahhh... I'm so stupid."
"Where are you being stupid? You're so handsome." Tang Bufan took his hand off his eyes, suppressing a laugh as he continued to coax him, "Roll around a few more times to spread the sweat evenly over your face."
"No." Lu Yi lay there, refusing to move: "This isn't cool."
Tang Bufan simply endured the pain in his legs and squatted down beside him, placing his hands on his warm body and pushing him to roll.
"Just two more rolls and it'll be over."
"No." Lu Yi grabbed Tang Bufan's hand.
"So handsome."
You're clearly laughing at me.
"I just thought you were cute." Tang Bufan struggled to turn Lu Yi over, and the 17-year-old orc boy finally showed his face again, looking at him with flushed cheeks.
"He's really handsome." Tang Bufan couldn't help but smile again, and he pinched the two cheeks of the man with his hands, making them pout towards the middle.
"Look at your little face."
"..." Lu's face turned even redder.
"And you protected me." Tang Bufan met his gaze, speaking softly with tender eyes: "No matter what you look like, you are my hero."
Lu Yi's heart skipped a beat. He blushed and remained silent for a while before whispering, "Then I... will roll two more times."
After saying that, she rolled around in the pile of clothes twice more, suppressing her shame.
Tang Bufan picked up a piece of clothing and smelled it. He could vaguely smell the sweat on Lu Yi's body. The orcs would probably smell it more obviously. So he patted the boy who was still lying there pretending to be a corpse.
"Alright, go out and choose a wolf and put the clothes on it."
"Oh." Despite her grumbling, Lu Yi still obeyed, getting up from the ground while her body was still warm, and went out with her clothes.
He chose a smaller wolf, broke off one of its legs, and tore open the collar of his coat and forced it onto the wolf.
During this time, the other wolves circled around Lu Yi, but having learned their lesson, they didn't dare to approach.
Lu Yi returned to the car through the sunroof. Kai started the RV, and the lead wolf, chained to the back of the vehicle, had to run alongside it. The other wolves in the pack followed, but the wolf wearing clothes fell behind, dragging its injured leg and howling in the vast wilderness.
"Brother Kai, design the route." Tang Bufan said to the red-glowing camera in the driver's seat, "Take some detours to scatter the straggling wolves."
“Okay, Xiao Tang,” Kai replied in a gentle electronic male voice.
The RV then drove on and on, with Lu Yi constantly getting out to put clothes on the wolves that smelled of him, until nightfall when he finally released the last alpha wolf.
They dispersed in 11 batches, and Lu Yi's scent has been left all over this wilderness.
"Hopefully this will confuse Anderson." Lu Yi looked at the pitch-black outside, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
He really didn't want to fight against the older brother he had admired since childhood.
"Yes, it will." Tang Bufan comforted him, yawning as he lay on the bunk bed.
Lu turned around and looked at the drowsy Tang Bufan. Thinking of how Tang Bufan had tricked him today, Lu felt both annoyed and amused.
He then thought of Tang Bufan's words:
No matter what you look like, you are my hero.
Lu Yi couldn't help but smile, his heart softening considerably.
Tang Bufan was not the first human he helped, but Tang Bufan was very different from others in that he had his own goals and did not have any expectations of Lu Yi.
This made Lu Yi feel very relaxed.
"Let's go to sleep, Lu Yi," Tang Bufan said, his eyes half-closed. He wanted to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
"Eat something before you sleep," Lu Yi said, looking at the emaciated man.
"No, I haven't digested the meat I ate for lunch yet." Tang Bufan frowned and touched his stomach. "I'm doomed, I feel like throwing up even after eating meat."
"Then have a few cherry tomatoes."
"Do we have any?"
"Yes, they were picked from the poisonous human breeding room."
"Then I want you to put two in my mouth."
"Okay." Lu Yi smiled as she looked at him, who was too lazy to move, and walked towards the kitchen in the dim light of the RV.
Meanwhile, in the toxic town filled with the stench of blood and filth, a black motorcycle stopped in front of the dilapidated hospital.
A tall, thin man in a black leather jacket stood with his long legs on the ground. The desert evening wind blew his long, silver-gray hair. He took off his glasses and looked at the hospital in front of him with his dim, silver eyes.
"Slaughtering all the poisoners, that's not like you at all." The man muttered to himself, then looked up and took a deep sniff; the stench of blood in the area was so strong it felt like the air itself was distorting.
Just then, a faint noise came from afar. The man turned his head and saw a small, green-skinned, poisonous boy frantically hiding in the darkness.
That was the boy Tang Bufan and Lu Yi saw eating a live dog with his father when they entered the town.
“…A superfluous and useless act of kindness.” The man narrowed his eyes, staring at the direction of the poisonous little boy, and a wicked smile curled his lips.
"Let me see what you're hiding, little Louis~"
