Chapter 84 First Confession
They heard the sound of the wild beast, packed up their things and prepared to get rid of the beast first.
After all, they were both superpowers, so it was easy for them to kill a mere beast. Liang Le asked Luo Miaomiao to follow behind him, "Be careful, I'll protect you."
"Liang Le, I can protect myself." After saying that, Luo Miaomiao touched the stone next to her with her hand, and her hand immediately turned into the shape of stone, but it could only last for five minutes at most.
Liang Le can quickly shuttle among the shadows. As long as there are shadows, he can hide in the shadows. However, there is a time limit. He cannot stay in a shadow for more than thirty seconds, so he will keep switching to disrupt his opponent's vision.
Standing in front of them was a huge white wolf with silver hair. It was huge in size, and had a pair of sharp eyes that emitted red light. It stared straight at the two people in front of it. The silver wolf exuded a strange beauty, but now they had no time to appreciate it. It was growling at the two people in a low voice. They seemed to have intruded into the silver wolf's territory.
Luo Miaomiao and Liang Le had known each other for a long time, and they had already cooperated well. After looking at each other, they decided to divide the work and kill the silver wolf. It looked like it was also a mutant creature, and its fur was very beautiful. Liang Le vowed, "Kill it, and I'll peel off its fur and make you a leather coat."
Luo Miaomiao just felt a little horrified. Wearing the fur of this creature on her body, she was really afraid that she would have a nightmare. "I don't need it."
Liang Le shuttled between the shadows of the trees to divert the attention of the silver wolf. Although the silver wolf looked huge, it was very agile and chased his shadow effortlessly. Luo Miaomiao took out a dagger, and after touching the dagger, her hand would become the same structure as the dagger.
Although being besieged by two people, the silver wolf was still agile and was not affected by them at all. Even when Luo Miaomiao attacked him, he couldn't even hurt his hair, but was slapped away by the silver wolf.
After seeing this, Liang Le hurriedly looked in the direction of Luo Miaomiao, but the silver wolf discovered his flaw and knocked him away. He was naturally no match for the silver wolf in close combat. Even with weapons on his body, he could not cause any harm to the silver wolf, but instead angered it. After a roar, he bit Liang Le and threw him against a tree trunk beside him. Liang Le's internal organs were in pain from the fall. They all had the habit of wearing protective clothing and did not fall in a critical position. He just felt his arm was sprained. When he wanted to get up and continue fighting, he found that the silver wolf gradually stood up, turned into a human body, walked towards Luo Miaomiao, picked her up, and then jumped down the cliff.
He endured the severe pain in his body and climbed to the edge of the cliff, but gradually lost consciousness due to the injuries.
Liang Le coughed and said, "That monster, strictly speaking, should be a werewolf." He watched him change from the form of a wolf to a human, with only the head still looking like a wolf.
"Werewolf..." Manman recalled the movie "Twilight" she had watched before. The werewolf in the movie was the affectionate second male lead, and her mind automatically imagined a muscular body and a handsome face.
Liang Le looked at the fog all around him and couldn't see how high the cliff was. In his current state, jumping down would be tantamount to seeking death.
"So?" Qin Muxue held her hands and looked down at Liang Le who was sitting on the ground. "You want to find Luo Miaomiao?"
"Well, but I know I have no other choice now." He felt his body was going to fall apart even when he raised his arms, let alone activate his supernatural powers. If these people hadn't woken him up, he would probably have frozen to death here.
However, Liang Le stared at An An in fear, "She, she is very dangerous..."
Qin Muxue touched An An's head, "She is very well behaved, just a little kid. You don't have to be afraid of her now. Instead, you should be afraid of us. Do you still remember that you killed our pilot, damaged the helicopter and almost killed us?"
Shi Yan drew the sword from his back and said, "Why don't I kill him now!"
Liang Le sneered, "I knew you weren't that kind. I've told you everything I know. You can kill me, but please save Miaomiao, especially you, Qu Yanbai. For all these years, she has always had you in her heart. Please save her for the sake of our past relationship!"
Qu Yanbai glanced at him coldly and said, "I don't have any affection for her as we did in the past." The moment she helped Hu Zimo frame him, all the affection disappeared.
"Are you still upset about that incident? It was all because of Hu Zimo that she was forced to do that. That guy insulted her with despicable means and took photos of her. He then threatened her with this incident, saying that if she didn't help frame you, he would leak those photos! She has always felt guilty about you over the years and tried to find you, but you disappeared without a trace, so she has lost all your contact information. She has always hoped that she could still help you."
Manman had no idea that there was such a story between them. She looked at Qu Yanbai with complicated eyes, waiting for his response.
"The past is over, don't mention it again." She was pitiful, but wasn't he pitiful too? If it weren't for the lack of evidence, he might have to go to jail for a few years. It was impossible to morally blackmail him.
Manman whispered in his ear: "Do you really not care?"
Who knew that Qu Yanbai was a person with a very clear understanding of feelings, "The person I care about is you."
Manman's face turned red. "There are so many people here. What are you talking about?"
"I'm serious..."
Qin Muxue didn't want to be a light bulb, so she reminded: "Did you hear any noise down the mountain?"
Suddenly they heard a wolf howling from under the cliff. It seemed that the silver wolf was right under the cliff.
Baozhu heard the wolf howling and walked around anxiously. Qin Muxue squatted down and comforted the anxious Baozhu.
"It seems that there is a pack of wolves down the mountain, not just one wolf." If they rashly go down the mountain and irritate the wolves, they don't know whether they can defeat them. Although the crystal core is important, it is more important to save their lives now. If, as Liang Le said, the two of them cannot beat one werewolf, then if they can beat a group of them, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?
"So, you'd better take care of yourself!" Qin Muxue patted Liang Le's shoulder. They planned to find a secluded place to hide first, and then take transportation to leave here after the fog cleared.
Liang Le was still trying to stop them, "You can't leave." He suddenly threw several stones towards the bottom of the cliff. Although Shi Yan kicked him in time, the stones had already rolled down.
“…”
"Let's get out of this damn place!"
They were about to leave, but suddenly a few pairs of red eyes appeared from the mist and stared at them. "Oh no, it's too late."
Baozhu stopped in front of Qin Muxue and barked wildly, "Woof woof woof."
The wolves seemed even more excited and began to growl softly. The wolf pack slowly walked out of the mist, led by the silver wolf, followed by several normal-looking wolves with gray fur. It seemed that only the leader wolf was mutated.
There were more than a dozen wolves in the pack, which completely surrounded them. They could neither retreat nor advance.
Pearl jumped down and turned into a giant form. Liang Le originally felt that the appearance of a cat next to Qin Muxue was very strange, but he never expected that this cat actually had super powers. When she turned into a giant form, she was even bigger than the giant wolf in front of her.
Pearl bared her teeth and growled threateningly, not allowing the wolves to get close, but the wolves were eager to rush over. A gray wolf rushed in and was bitten on one leg by Pearl. It whimpered and hid behind the silver wolf.
As Pearl and Silver Wolf looked at each other, Silver Wolf seemed to feel a huge pressure. He lay down and gradually turned into a human. His silver hair fluttered in the breeze, and he had a muscular body. Only his lower body was covered with a piece of fur, and the rest was all exposed.
Qin Muxue and Manman stared blankly at the naked man in front of them. Qu Yanbai immediately stepped forward and covered Manman's eyes.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it, what's so good about it." Qu Yanbai said with some resentment, "Your eyeballs are about to fall out, I'll pick them up for you."
"But he is indeed very handsome, and his eyes are actually sky blue, just like the hero in a comic book."
"If you like to watch it, I'll show it to you when we get back. You can watch it as much as you want!"
"Who wants to look at a rough guy like you?" After being diverted by Qu Yanbai, Manman couldn't help but hit him a few times, and he didn't look serious the whole time.
"It would be a waste not to take a look at him since he is exposed." After observing him carefully, Qin Muxue concluded that this guy looked good and could indeed be compared with the werewolves in the movies. He also had a foreign look, with silver hair and blue eyes as deep as the sea.
“Don’t hurt my people.” The man walked forward slowly. His fair skin and perfect figure made him look as perfect as a statue in Greek mythology.
Qin Muxue took a deep breath and said, "We don't want to hurt your people, but you are the ones who are hurting us. With such a big show, are you trying to arrest us all?"
Looking at the wolves around them who were still staring at them with eager eyes, Qin Muxue stretched out his hand, and a stream of water appeared in his hand, ready to attack at any time. Shi Yan was no exception, he had already taken out his weapon, and killing a wolf with one sword was just a piece of cake for him.
An An hid behind Qin Muxue, "Sister, there are so many wolves. I'm so scared. They look so fierce."
Liang Le on the side gnashed his teeth and asked, "What did you do to Miaomiao?"
"You two were the ones who attacked me first last night. I just fought back." The silver-haired man explained calmly, "You trespassed into my territory and attacked me. Anyone would have fought back."
Everything the silver wolf said made sense, and Qin Muxue didn't know how to refute him for a moment, until she saw the collar around his neck with the number 3 on it, which seemed somewhat familiar.
An An is No. 2, Yin Lang is No. 3, are they both experimental subjects?
Qin Muxue stared at the collar, "Did you escape from the laboratory?"
Silver Wolf was obviously stunned. He asked his companions to go back first, and he walked to Qin Muxue's side. After seeing An An beside her, he seemed to recall something, "What do you mean by escape? I just saved myself. If I stayed there, I would die. My name is Alan Davis, you can call me Alan."
This is an English name. Looking at the hand extended by the other party, Qin Muxue hesitated, but Shi Yan protected her behind him.
Looking at the man in front of him who was full of pressure and intimidation, Alan stared at him for a long time with the eyes that only wolves have. "I have no ill intentions, and I didn't hurt that woman. If you don't believe me, you can come with me."
When Liang Le heard that Luo Miaomiao was not dead, he immediately stood up and said, "Take me to see her."
"We haven't agreed yet!"
Moreover, going deep into the opponent's lair is a very dangerous thing. If they have bad intentions, Qin Muxue put his hands behind his back. It is better to take the opportunity to kill the silver wolf and take out the crystal core. A cold light appeared in Qin Muxue's eyes. It's a pity to waste such a handsome man.
Alan seemed to have noticed the hostility of these people. He turned around and transformed into a giant wolf, motioning Zhenzhu and Baozhu to follow him. Baozhu followed him and ran in another direction.
“Baozhu!” Qin Muxue followed them anxiously. She held An An in her arms and turned over to sit on the giant pearl. Shi Yan also jumped on it. The situation was too urgent. She shouted to Qu Yanbai behind her: “Take good care of Manman. I will be back after I find Baozhu!”
Liang Le also wanted to follow, but he was really powerless now. His body felt like it was falling apart if he moved. Now there were only three of them. He touched the gun hidden in his pants, but Qu Yanbai had already seen through his movements. "Do you still want to kill us?" He put down his backpack with a weird smile on his face.
Liang Le shook his head. "No, I am powerless now. How can I kill you?"
Qu Yanbai ignored him and instead opened his backpack and took out a head.
Liang Le looked at his operation with some fear. When he saw the appearance of the head clearly, he was shocked. It looked like an ant but also like a human. The half-human, half-ant appearance was very disgusting. After the head opened its eyes, it seemed very excited, but he could not speak and could only stare at Liang Le.
Liang Le only felt his back go numb. This was Hu Zimo. How did he become like this? He originally thought that even if he met a few of them, he could at least save his life with his puppet ability. He didn't expect that he would end up like this.
"Does he look familiar? Your teammate is still alive and well. I plan to take him back to contribute to the scientific experiment." Hu Zimo felt that the smile of the man in front of him was creepy.
"You did it?"
"Otherwise, you also know the grudge between him and me, and don't you hate him in the first place? He once killed someone and made him into a puppet, and now I'm making him a 'puppet' too. What do you think? Does it make you feel better?"
"You...even if I hate him, I won't let him live in this way. You are so vicious."
"How many innocent women has Hu Zimo insulted? How many souls have died at his hands? I am sure I have never killed innocent people like him. You really wronged me."
In the shelter, he used his identity as a psychic to insult many women. In Dajiang City, he killed many people to enhance his own strength. He also ambushed him and Qin Muxue. In addition to the things he did in his previous life, Qu Yanbai had long hated him to the core, and simply killing him was not enough to vent his anger.
Liang Le had nothing to refute him, because Hu Zimo had indeed done so many evil things, and he had been tolerated only because of his strength. But now, he only had a head left. He swallowed and felt a little fear when facing the man in front of him.
Liang Le used up his last bit of strength to use his shadow escape ability, hiding in the shadows and quickly moving away from them. He could not stay with them any longer, he had to leave here quickly.
"Qu Yanbai, you scared him away!" Manman watched Liang Le suddenly disappear in front of them, and for a moment she didn't see clearly what his special ability was.
"He can't run far." Qu Yanbai looked at the blood on the ground and stuffed the head back into the bag. "How do you think Liang Le will save you? He wants to kill you but it's too late. You should stay in my backpack!"
Manman was puzzled by his action, "Why do you carry him with you? Don't you feel disgusted?"
For the first time, Qu Yanbai had an urge to tell the girl in front of him everything about himself. Now was indeed an opportunity. "Manman, I want to tell you everything that happened to me..."
Qu Yanbai told the whole story of how he was killed in his previous life and how he came back to Taoyuan Village after being reborn. Manman's expression changed from surprise at the beginning to heartache for the man in front of her after understanding everything. He had a bright future, but it was ruined. "Qu Yanbai, so you are so miserable. No wonder you hate Hu Zimo so much. I would probably hate him too. He also killed so many innocent people. It's just that his rebirth is a little unbelievable." Ding Manman thought of everything that happened between her and Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue said at the beginning that she had predicted what was going to happen in the future, which led to everything that happened next. Otherwise, she should have died in the tsunami long ago.
If Qin Muxue had not intervened, there was another possibility. She might have already gone to Lei Yangzhou and wanted to become husband and wife with Lei Yangzhou. She got goose bumps all over her body and felt an indescribable weirdness. In short, everything would go against the current situation, and she and Qu Yanbai would not be able to meet.
"Perhaps you will find the idea of rebirth hard to believe, but this is indeed what happened to me. I just want to tell you all these things because sincerity is always the ultimate weapon." He looked into Manman's eyes with great sincerity.
"Wait, you have to give me some time to digest it." There were some other different emotions in his eyes, and Manman had already noticed it. She touched the emerald ring on her hand and lowered her head shyly.
"I used to think that I was reborn for revenge, but now I think that I was reborn so that I could keep the important people. Grandma and you are the most important people in my heart now. I just want to cherish us. So, Manman, I have figured it out. I will never miss you again."
"Are you frozen silly? What are you talking about?" She turned her head away, and Qu Yanbai noticed tears in her eyes.
"We Northeasterners are the ones who suffer the most from the cold. I am very sober now. I really, really like you. When I learned that you were locked up in the reservoir by Lei Yangzhou's men, my mind was blank. I just thought that if I lost you, I would be worse off than dead. At that time, I really wanted to kill Lei Yangzhou. Fortunately, you are safe and sound. Then I secretly made up my mind that as long as I, Qu Yanbai, am alive, I will protect you well." He held her hand. He was very strong and Manman couldn't break free at all.
"Let's talk about this later! Let's go find Xiaoxue and the others first!"
Qu Yanbai said self-deprecatingly: "Do you think I am cold and heartless?"
Manman shook her head. "If I encountered such a thing, I might not be as strong as you. At least you can kill your enemies with your own hands. I think you are very powerful, but..." She had a good impression of him, but thought that they were a small team now. Love is an emotion that arises from people for a moment. What if the love fades? Can they still be teammates without grudges against each other?
On the contrary, she felt that everything was just right now. This was also the conclusion she came to after escaping death. However, facing Qu Yanbai's burning eyes, her heart was wavering again. Now she urgently needed to tell Xiaoxue about what she was experiencing. "I do have a good impression of you, but I'm not sure yet. Thank you for being so sincere to me. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
Qu Yanbai held her in his arms. Manman listened to the sound of his heart beating violently and felt a little helpless for a moment. Leaning in his strong and broad arms, she could feel completely safe.
"I will wait for you, of course I will wait for you."
After saying this, he felt much more relaxed. He stroked Manman's hair and said, "Girls, it's better to be cautious, so that you won't be kidnapped by men!"
This sentence made Manman laugh, "You are clearly confessing to me, but you are still afraid that I will be kidnapped by a man!"
"Except me!"
"Dream on!" Manman turned her head away proudly, "Let's go find Xiaoxue now!"
Although Xiaoxue and Shi Yan are both very strong, and Zhenzhu is by their side, she still feels vaguely uneasy.
"Well, let's get out of here!"
Qin Muxue and Shi Yan followed Baozhu. This was the first time that Baozhu did not obey their orders. Originally, she would stop every time she blew the whistle, but this time, she did not stop.
As they walked out of the forest and headed down the mountain, a huge steel plant gradually appeared before them...
