Chapter 136 - The Meaning of Salvation
Chapter 136 - The Meaning of Salvation
Duan Yunhong thought Ning Fei would use the injury as an excuse to be in a bad mood for a few days. Unexpectedly, when Ning Fei woke up the next day, his attitude returned to normal.
Even on the eve of their separation, Ning Fei still wanted to "play" with Duan Yunhong with her mouth and hands. Duan Yunhong felt that he was forcing himself because of the 2 million luck, and was not happy about it. He wanted to pull him away, but was afraid of hurting him if he pulled him away by force. I had no choice but to half-pull him to refuse, "Get out of the way. Don't bother if you're hurt, or you'll blame me later."
"There are ways to play when you're injured. I'm not paralyzed. I know how far I can go." Ning Fei applied a little force with his fingers and replied nonchalantly, "Don't pretend, boss. Isn't this quite interesting?"
"This is just a normal physiological reaction, but you won't die if you don't continue, and you won't die if you don't do it." Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes, "Then you are not equating me with that kind of idiot with a lustful mind, are you? The 2 million is not given to you based on the number of times, so there is no need to play this game."
"...Tsk, I'm serving you and you still have so much nonsense. Forget it!" Ning Fei sneered, adjusted his posture to stand up, turned around and lay down again, "Do it or not, my skills are not bad, don't regret it if you miss it."
Duan Yunhong stretched out his hand to help him, but ended up reaching for nothing. He pulled his hand back stiffly, and said with a stern face: "You're showing off your chuang skills even though your waist is injured. What are you thinking about? You're still saying 'just use your mouth and hands'. Do you think I'm a naive virgin?"
Ning Fei closed his eyes and did not answer.
Duan Yunhong knew that he had placed it there on purpose. He snorted and turned around to turn off the bedside lamp. After a rustling sound, Duan Yunhong also lay down.
A few minutes or ten minutes later——
Ning Fei suddenly asked: "Are you asleep?"
Duan Yunhong opened his eyes in the darkness: "...What do you want to do?"
Ning Fei slowly turned over and lay on her side facing him: "Turn around."
Duan Yunhong: "What?"
"I told you to turn around and face me." Ning Fei patted him, "Hurry up, lend me some strength."
Duan Yunhong became more and more confused, but his body turned away before his reasoning. The next moment, Ning Fei came close to him, with his chest pressed against his back and his hands on his waist.
"!" Duan Yunhong was stunned by this sudden intimacy. He hadn't been so close to Ning Fei for a long time. Soon, he thought of something and asked, "You wanted to turn sideways but your waist hurts, so you want to lie on my back... where are you touching?!"
Ning Fei said from behind him: "Don't move, my waist hurts."
"Do you think your back pain is a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card? Let go!"
"No, if I don't prove to you how good my job is, I'll have to sit up in the middle of the night thinking about it." Ning Fei stuck close to him, stretching one hand in front of the man, grabbing and holding it openly, "You talk as if my skills are only enough to deal with young boys."
"I need you to prove it? Don't I know how amazing you are?" Duan Yunhong was completely helpless by his "magic trick". He couldn't figure out what was going on in this man's brain, and he didn't care about the depression in his heart. "Don't you think it's too much trouble?"
"No problem. Don't move, let me lean on you for a while." Ning Fei not only adjusted the intensity of his hands, but also rubbed his head against the person's back, "Just close your eyes and enjoy it, boss."
How could Duan Yunhong close his eyes? Ning Fei wrapped around his body like a python. Although she didn't use much force, it seemed to have choked Duan Yunhong's breathing. The man didn't dare to struggle hard, for fear of accidentally bumping into Ning Fei and causing further injury. Although it was not life-threatening, Duan Yunhong couldn't imagine how angry Ning Fei would be at that time.
Ning Fei also noticed Duan Yunhong's slightly stiff body, and laughed softly, "Relax, Mr. Duan, you are not a virgin anymore."
"How can I...hiss, stop biting...!"

The two of them spent a few days together and then returned to their respective homes (bases).
During this trip to Jinghui, Jinghui Base shared its achievements, Tianyue Base received the "Powerful Superpower" certification, and Huichuan Base received the "Good Open Source Reputation". Everyone has a bright future.
After returning to Tianyue Base, Ning Fei was given the position of "special instructor for people with special abilities", and everything else remained the same. With his support, the overall level of Tianyue's psychics gradually improved. Within a year, Tianyue's record in combat with superpowers had already been ranked among the best in the country.
At the same time, as Ning Fei expected, with the participation of Jinghui scientists, the research and development progress of the project proposed by Wang Haiyang was greatly accelerated. By the end of the year, Huichuan and Jinghui jointly announced that the animal experiment phase of the "variant vaccine" had achieved initial success, with an immunity rate of 90%.
The next year - which was the third year after Ning Fei came into this world - the "variant vaccine" began to recruit clinical trial volunteers on a small scale. Ning Fei signed up this time and took the opportunity to get the vaccine when he met Duan Yunhong. Duan Yunhong even watched him get the injection on the spot. After returning home, Ning Fei jokingly said that he couldn't do it for the next few days. In case of any abnormal reaction, it would be bad if it was transmitted to Duan Yunhong. Director Duan said "nonsense" and pushed the man onto the water bed.
It was also in this year that Ning Fei and some of the psychics he personally led became national-level psychic experts. From time to time, they would go to other bases to guide special training, or even directly participate in missions.
In the fourth year, the research and development team of time traveler Chen Yikun released a major research conclusion: after the team did a lot of sequencing and comparisons, they believed that the overall degree of variation of mammals in the wild had decreased.
The team believes that the reason is that individuals with a large degree of variation actually have low fertility, so after several years of renewal and replacement, the variation level of wild mammals has become stable and generally low. At the same time, because the "degree of mutation is proportional to the aggressiveness" in this world, the safety factor outside the base is gradually increasing.
In the fifth year since Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong came to this world, two pieces of good news spread from Jinghui Base to the whole country:
First, the “variant vaccine” has entered a voluntary vaccination model across the country, and is currently free for three years;
Second, the country will gradually lift the state of emergency and restore the original "urban" ecology of each base; restore the original production and life in towns outside the bases, and people can move freely to towns on the "open list". The planned economic model will also be gradually abolished as planned within three years.
After the state of emergency is lifted, Yue Fengping, the "wartime commander", will naturally be transferred from his current position as the head of the Tianyue Base.
"Lao Yue feels that the 'zombie crisis' is basically over, and he is ready to step down with peace of mind."
Yu Zhou said to Ning Fei: "In this case, I can also conclude that your 'mission to save the world' is basically completed. You can go with whatever you like, and when I finish this debt collection mission, I will give you a good review."
Ning Fei spread his hands towards him: "400, oh no, 3.8 million, thank you, boss."
"Are you sure I'll give it to you now?" Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows. "With so much luck, I'm afraid you'll be too excited to vent after receiving it. Why don't you call your lover to wait?"
"I asked him to come here for the last time." Ning Fei said calmly, "I still have to argue with him about who will win and who will lose, so I can't get too excited. And I can't let him know that I actually came here for the 3.8 million luck, so I can't let him see what I look like when my luck is full."
"What kind of rhetoric are you going to use? You can't have no idea of the outcome."
"After a long argument, I was prepared to admit that he won, but only by a small margin."
"It's well-reasoned and in line with your style. You are worthy of it." Yu Zhou sighed, "But this is all a routine you prepared in advance. He has been with you for so long, can he really not see through it at all?"
"Even if I can see something is wrong, what can I do? Even if I admit defeat on purpose, the bet will still end, and he will have to destroy my location marker." Ning Fei said indifferently, "By the way, I still have to ask him for the remaining 1 million luck, so there is still a chance for a 'breakup shot'."
"I have 3.8 million here, and he has 3 million there. Isn't this much more profitable than what you usually earn from completing missions?" Yu Zhou sighed. "Speaking of which, you should have saved a lot of luck points. Isn't that enough for you to save the world?"
"Save the world? Save which world?"
“Your native world.”
"...You're overthinking it. Why save that rotten place?" Ning Fei sneered, his tone mocking, "It's already beyond repair."
"Really? I thought you were trying so hard to earn luck for this reason." Yu Zhou tapped his fingers back and forth on the table. "After all, if the original owner from that world hadn't expressed the wish to 'save the world', it would cost you a huge amount of luck if you wanted to forcibly change the overall situation of that world."
"And the bigger the change, the more luck is consumed, and it will increase exponentially." Ning Fei said sarcastically, "I can't save that world even if I lose everything I have, so why would I want to be the savior?"
"If you think about it this way, the foundation for saving the world is pretty good now. I just accelerated the process, and the luck consumed was not too much." Yu Zhou said happily, "This is really a very cost-effective relationship."
When it comes to love, he still cares about cost-effectiveness. Yu Zhou is such a person now, and Ning Fei is too lazy to complain.
"Unfortunately, when I went to your native world to collect debts, the original owner just wanted to redress his fate and avenge his family." Yu Zhou continued, "He never mentioned the idea of changing that country or that world."
"The obsession he left behind is not strong enough to be exchanged for the wish to save the world." Ning Fei's expression was calm, without a trace of regret. "Sometimes I wonder, if our meeting was not because you thought I had potential and brought me to the Administration to be a debt collector; but I died and my obsession became a bargaining chip in exchange with the Administration... How big a wish could I realize?"
"I remember you said, 'It would be great if I was the one who died and exchanged wishes for me', so I thought you wanted to save the world." Yu Zhou asked, "Suppose your obsession could be exchanged for any wish, wouldn't you also want to save the world?"
"Maybe I thought about it before, but not now." Ning Fei raised his eyes, looked into the void, and said slowly, "After experiencing so many worlds and seeing so many people, I have completely understood. In that world, there is no one who really wants to change the world, and who takes action and even sacrifices everything for it. The people at the bottom are like livestock and insects, always running around just to survive until the next day.
"They would occasionally think, 'If only the world could change' or 'If only I could live a life with enough food and clothing', but that's just a thought. The nobles are corrupt and decadent, and the lower classes are numb and indifferent. If someone occasionally stands up and wants to resist, the nobles only need to give a little favor through their fingers, and the lower classes will work for the nobles. In such a world, why save it? Even if the world is overturned one day, those people will just passively accept it, indulge in the illusory beauty, and never wake up. If this continues, it won't be long before the castle in the air will decay again, and everything will return to the way it was before."
Yu Zhou listened quietly, without commenting on whether his idea was right or wrong, nor did he agree or disagree. He just said, "You seem to be scolding yourself with what you said."
"I was cursed into it. I used to think I was different from those people, but later I understood that we are pretty much the same." Ning Fei said self-deprecatingly, "So, why save it? Even if I succeed in saving it, it won't heal me. On the contrary, it will only make me feel more empty. This is the world that it is. There are thousands of worlds just like it. What is there to save?"
"Don't think about it." Yu Zhou patted his shoulder. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have made you think about these things. Think about something happy, like, I'm paying you now."
Ning Fei smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, boss."
