Chapter 251 Lizard 21
Min Xi woke up with a start. The scene in his dream was so terrifying. Yu Mo left on a boat, and white fog was rising on the sea. He chased her desperately, but his vision was blurry and he couldn't even see the outline. The dream ended with his wailing. When he woke up, he was still a little dazed. His pupils were dilated and his eyes were filled with tears.
He imitated human behavior very seriously, just like now, the tongue hidden in his mouth slid out and slid across the tear-stained pupils, and the moment the tongue touched, it took away the tears that blocked his vision, but he quickly closed his mouth and rubbed his eyes with his hands, his pointed nails less than a millimeter away from the eye sockets. He endured the stinging pain, rubbed twice, withdrew his hand, and waited until his vision became clear before gradually getting rid of the shock brought by the nightmare.
His body stiffened, his eyes darting around before finally focusing on his side. He remembered her sleeping in bed, so how did she end up here… next to him? He instantly tensed, kneeling beside her to check for any injuries. There were no wounds, not from a fall… After a moment's silence, he took a few steps forward and lay on his side.
He didn't know how long she could stay here, and he didn't dare to ask or think about it. Min Xi opened his eyes, and his emerald eyes stared at her closely. His throat, covered by scales, vibrated slightly, making a faint sound. He wished time would stop, if only he could stay with her forever.
Yu Mo never had a full stomach in the laboratory. She had to do various data tests, so she relied on medicine to maintain her body's basic needs. Now she was rummaging through the boxes of food. In fact, they were just some very ordinary food. After all, there had been no food here for a long time, and there were no snacks in the base. She looked at the date on the noodles. Good, it had been expired for two months.
Looking at other things, such as compressed biscuits and canned food, they are all foods that are about to expire.
Regardless of anything else, Yu Mo cooked some noodles, opened the can of meat and poured it into the noodles. Thinking about Min Xi's appetite, she added a few cans of meat. The marinated canned meat exuded an enticing aroma. Yu Mo served her own portion and pushed the rest to Min Xi.
"Min Xi, try it."
She was looking forward to Min Xi's reaction. She wondered what he'd been eating these days. He was so skinny from starvation. He looked scary with scales on, but without them, just bones. There were no animals in the base. Was he always hungry? Yu Mo thought about it, added more water to boil noodles, and cooked all the expired noodles.
"There's plenty, don't go hungry."
Min Xi had never eaten such a thing before. He was a carnivore and only ate meat. He was not the kind of person who lived a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Compared with other animals in the jungle, they still enjoyed it very much. If they happened to come across grass leaves for seasoning, they would wrap the fresh meat and roast it on the fire. It was very fragrant. Not to mention the fish soaked in sea water. After it was roasted, the air was filled with fresh fragrance.
To be honest, plain noodles and canned meat marinated in various seasonings can't compare to the taste of fresh meat after being grilled, but Min Xi thought it was delicious, very delicious. He ate everything Yu Mo pushed to him. This was given to him by Yu Mo. Even if she wanted to leave him, she still had, even a little bit of feelings for him, right? Min Xi comforted himself, thinking that he was satisfied with her having even a little bit of feelings.
The monster downstairs disappeared. After staying in the dormitory for two days, the wounds of both of them had healed and they could not stay there any longer. They ate up all the food they had found and looted all the dormitories except the one on the first floor.
"They have dispersed. From what I've observed, there are only a few of them nearby. Including those electrocuted by the electric fence, their number is much smaller than that day. If we rush out, can we be sure?" Yu Mo stared at the monster corpses near the electric fence, thoughtfully.
Min Xi nodded, "Okay." He didn't have the courage to say that he actually wanted to die that day, otherwise he wouldn't have been injured so badly.
Yu Mo pulled out the dirty clothes and the blood-stained bed sheet, balled them up in her hands, and said, "I found that they tend to go crazy when they smell blood. When we left the dormitory, I threw it onto the electric fence. Before they gather, you go to the tunnel entrance, move the rocks, and lead the way. Can you do it?"
Min Xi nodded at first, then froze for a moment before shaking his head, "I'll move the stones, you lead the way."
"The tunnel is dark, I can't see clearly." Yu Mo felt embarrassed at the thought of lying to him. She had lied to him once, and if she lied to him again, even if Min Xi had a good temper, he would be angry, right? But there was nothing she could do.
Min Xi was silent. He turned around and went back to the dormitory. He squatted on his tail, held his raised tail and licked it, cleaning it carefully. After cleaning himself, he closed his eyes and rested. He ignored Yu Mo even when she talked to him.
Yu Mo was helpless and held onto the wagging tail. Min Xi stared in shock. Yu Mo tightened her grip and said, "Okay, I lied to you, but I have something else to do. I can't leave for the time being. It's very dangerous here. You leave first and wait for me to go out and find you, okay?"
"You lied to me." Min Xi was very sad. He was such a ferocious beast that even the most majestic beasts would avoid him if he was found in the forest. But facing Yu Mo, he was like a poor unwanted creature, with tears in his eyes and confusion. He didn't understand. He didn't get close to her anymore and didn't ask her to be his female anymore. Why did she still lie to him? Did she hate him so much?
Min Xi was very sad and in real pain. He wanted to cut open his chest to see if his heart was broken. Otherwise, why would it hurt so much?
Yu Mo didn't expect Min Xi to react so strongly. Although he looked very similar to a human, his scales looked scary and his eyes were fierce. If it weren't for her tears, she would have thought Min Xi was going to pounce on her and bite her to death.
Yu Mo bravely pinched the tail. It was so thick and hard that she couldn't even hold it with her palms together. Min Xi trembled, and his appearance became more fierce and fierce. But Yu Mo saw his trembling lips, as if he was furious. She thought it would be better to tell him the truth.
"They released the monsters and want us dead. If I just leave like this, they will still stay in the lab and control the experimental base. I don't feel comfortable."
Yu Mo had a cold face. She just wanted to fight with these two people. It was like walking into a dead end and couldn't turn around. In fact, leaving was a safer way, but she was unwilling to do so. Why?
What's more, after leaving the experimental base, I felt uneasy at the thought that there were still two bad guys alive. I felt that I might be stabbed in the back at any time and anywhere. I felt very uncomfortable and unhappy. It would be better to eliminate the trouble forever.
Min Xi didn't look like he really understood, but he realized that she didn't mean to dislike him. Before he showed any emotion, his tail began to wag slightly. He had been longing for her closeness, and when she held him in her palm, how could he resist? He rubbed it hard against her palm, and the tip of his tail touched her face in a flattering way. It was such an unintentional action that Yu Mo didn't even realize that she was being taken advantage of.
"Don't lie to me again."
Min Xi was very stubborn, "If you don't leave, I won't leave."
Yu Mo: "But it will be dangerous..."
Min Xi expressed his attitude with actions. He wrapped his tail around her waist and carefully dragged her towards him, not too close, keeping a distance. But just touching the scales on her body, it was as if an electric current ran through her, and crackling sounds rang in her ears. Yu Mo knew that there was no point in saying more, so she could only nod.
"Then you have to be careful. Don't do what you did yesterday. If you can't beat them, just run away. Don't fight them head-on."
Because of Min Xi's help, Yu Mo was not too worried about the monsters. Although there were many of them, they were not as ferocious as Min Xi. Besides, they had been dispersed long ago. The experimental base was very large, and many of them had been dealt with long ago. So the number was still acceptable at the moment.
Yu Mo threw the sheets and clothes onto the electric fence and hid in the dark. Sure enough, several monsters followed the smell and climbed up. As soon as they touched the electric fence, they fell to the ground like charred flies that had been swatted to death.
We successfully reached the outside of the cafeteria wall. Since the front of the operating room was difficult to enter, we started from the back. "There is a window for ventilation in the operating room. Although the material is very good, there is still a way to destroy it. Let's go in from there."
Yu Mo had already prepared the rope, which was in the dormitory cabinet and was distributed by the laboratory. Before her rope was hung up, Min Xi picked her up and put her on his tail, dragging her to his back, protecting her with his tail. In the blink of an eye, before Yu Mo could react, Min Xi climbed to the top and was only half a fist away from the ventilation window she had planned.
Min Xi turned around and smiled at her with a very proud look on his face. Seeing that Yu Mo was still a little dazed, he became even more proud. His mouth was wide open, revealing his sharp teeth. Yu Mo's heart trembled when he looked at her. He poked the glass with his fingertips, grabbed her waist with one hand, turned her to him, and carried her in.
"Be careful--" The squeezed-out words were quickly shattered by the scene in the operating room. The scene was completely different from what he had imagined. The senior sister was sitting on the chair at the control panel, covered in blood, and Teacher Li was in the corner, tightly holding the gun. The atmosphere was tense.
Yu Mo suspected that she had entered the wrong place, but when she opened her eyes wide, she saw that the two people were exactly as she remembered. There was no possibility of misidentifying people. So what was going on?
Teacher Li opened his eyes, looking very weak. "Teacher, I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do. If the research succeeds..." Glancing at Yu Mo's cold face, he quickly changed the subject and said, "I didn't release the monster. You are all my students. How could I hurt you? It was her. We were all deceived by her. She wanted to kill us! Xiao Yu, kill her, kill her quickly..."
Yu Mo stood up straight, glanced at the situation in the operating room, and confirmed that there was no danger. She took a step forward and was about to take the second step when Min Xi hugged her around the waist. He made a threatening sound in his throat, looking very fierce and aggressive, with murderous eyes. Yu Mo didn't want to refuse his kindness, so he held her in his arms.
"Teacher Li, are you stupid, or am I?" Yu Mo laughed. "You kidnapped us here, we can't go home, and you locked me on the lab table to conduct so many experiments. Do you think I can save you after seeing what you're going through?"
Teacher Li's face was pale, and there was a hole on his forehead, probably because he was hit with a chair, the same chair with a broken leg. Senior sister had a gunshot wound on her arm, but she was still breathing. Yu Mo bet that Teacher Li had no bullets left, otherwise, how could he let Senior sister live with the two of them in such a mess?
Yu Mo walked forward, and Teacher Li threatened, "Don't come over, or I'll shoot!"
"Tell me what happened, maybe I can help you." Yu Mo glanced at her senior sister, who was covered in blood and very weak, unable to speak complete sentences.
"My parents were his former colleagues. I just wanted to release them! I've achieved my goal. Even if I die, I can rest in peace..."
"Is it really you who wanted to release the monster?"
The senior sister took a breath, "They're not monsters! They're my parents, and a former researcher!"
"But they have lost their rationality, memory, and emotions. If it weren't for Min Xi's help, we would have been killed by them long ago. They used to be human, but now they are not. They are monsters. You let them out without considering what will happen to the people in the base?"
The senior sister pursed her lips and chuckled, "I only care about my parents."
"She's crazy, she's already crazy! Yu Mo, I'm telling you, I didn't release the monster, you kill her quickly, I know you want to go home, I can help you go home, I have a research report on the Devil's Sea, I know how to go back, only you help me, give me some food, I will take you back..."
Teacher Li's words were shattered by the sound of the door being kicked, and he stared with his eyes wide in disbelief.
Yu Mo raised her head and kicked the door hard twice, but it didn't open. She withdrew her foot with great force, then walked to the door as if nothing had happened and entered the command, and the door slowly opened.
Teacher Li glared at him: "You, stop it, close the door, close it quickly!"
Yu Mo glanced at the screen, which covered every angle. She silently counted the monsters that appeared on the screen. There were only a few of them, and they all rushed to the restaurant when they heard the sound. She didn't see any other ones, so these must be the only ones.
"Since you released it, it's up to you to deal with it."
