"The one on your neck..." Mou Xuan pointed at Chen Yao's neck, his tone trembling slightly which he himself did not even notice.
It was a lifelike lotus mark, as red as blood, and particularly eye-catching against the fair skin.
This thing looked weird no matter how you looked at it. It was like a time bomb, and it made him feel creepy.
Chen Yao subconsciously put her hands over her neck, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes, "This... this is a birthmark." She explained with forced calmness, but her slightly trembling voice exposed her nervousness.
Mou Xuan frowned, this mark didn't look like a simple birthmark.
This color, this shape, there's something eerie about it no matter how you look at it.
Could it be a virus infection or a symbol of some mysterious organization?
Countless possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant, and each one made him feel uneasy.
He stared at Chen Yao, his eyes like X-rays, wishing he could see through her.
The safe house has been built with great difficulty and the supplies have been almost stockpiled. We can’t let anything go wrong at this critical juncture.
What if this girl is a dangerous person? Wouldn't he be inviting a wolf into the house?
The more he thought about it, the colder his back felt, and sweat oozed from his clenched fists.
"Birthmark? Your birthmark... is a little special." Mou Xuan tried his best to make his tone sound lighthearted, but his heart was in turmoil.
Do you want to ask directly?
But what if you hit someone where it hurts?
Besides, if this is really someone's privacy, wouldn't it be too abrupt for him to ask so many questions?
He was extremely conflicted. This feeling was even more uncomfortable than asking him to fight the Zombie King alone.
On the one hand, he wanted to protect the safe house he had worked so hard to build, and on the other hand, he didn't want to hurt this weak girl.
This contradictory mentality almost suffocated him.
The air in the room seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.
"I..." Chen Yao bit her lip, hesitating to speak.
She seemed to have something to hide, and her eyes were full of struggle.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath and was about to speak, but Chen Yao suddenly raised her head and looked at him firmly, "Actually..." "Actually... this is related to the end of the world." Chen Yao took a deep breath and spoke slowly as if she had made a major decision.
Her voice was low and mysterious, like an ancient ballad.
"There is a legend in our family that when the end of the world comes, the person who possesses the Lotus Mark will become..." She paused, as if choosing her words, "a key figure."
Mou Xuan almost couldn't help laughing out loud after listening to this mysterious explanation.
"A key figure? The kind that saves the world?" He raised his eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Could it be that this girl has read too many novels?
Chen Yao rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Don't interrupt! I haven't finished yet!" She continued to explain that this mark was not an ordinary birthmark, but an ancient family mark that had been passed down from generation to generation and only women in the family had it.
According to the elders of the tribe, when the end of the world comes, the mark will guide them to find a "refuge" and play a key role there.
Mou Xuan was stunned. Why did this plot feel even more outrageous than his rebirth?
"Shelter? Could it be here?" He pointed at his safe house and said half-jokingly.
But Chen Yao nodded seriously, "It's very likely."
Mou Xuan's heart skipped a beat. This joke was not funny at all.
He looked at Shen Yao carefully, and this girl didn't look like she was joking.
Is there really such a mysterious thing in this world?
He suddenly remembered that his rebirth didn't seem that scientific.
"Then what is your 'key role'?" Mou Xuan's tone became serious. This was no joke. What if this girl was some doomsday boss? Wouldn't he have dug a hole for himself?
Chen Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell him the truth.
"It is said that... people who possess the mark can unlock a special energy that can... heal the infected."
Mou Xuan widened his eyes. This was a lot of information!
Cure the infected?
Doesn’t this mean that…
The look he gave Chen Yao changed, becoming more complicated and more...
Awe.
Chen Yao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, lowered her head, and whispered: "I don't know if it is true or not. The legend of the tribe is very old, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false."
Mou Xuan looked at her shy appearance, and the nervousness in his heart dissipated a lot.
He patted Chen Yao's shoulder gently and comforted her: "Whether it is true or not, I believe you."
Chen Yao's face turned slightly red and she lowered her head shyly.
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two heated up again, and a warm feeling spread around them.
"drop--"
Suddenly, the piercing sound of an alarm broke the silence...
The shrill alarm sounded like a sharp needle, piercing the tranquility of the safe house.
Mou Xuan's face darkened. Oh my god, what's going on?
I finally managed to create some ambiguous atmosphere, but what does this deadening alarm mean?
"Something's happening!" Mou Xuan rushed to the surveillance screen and saw several furtive figures moving towards the outskirts of the safe house with weapons in their hands. It was obvious that they were not good people.
My goodness, he is picking on the weak and treating this place as a buffet restaurant?
"A few defeated soldiers dare to act wildly?" Mou Xuan sneered, picked up the modified AK on the wall, pulled the bolt, and with a click, the bullet was loaded. His whole body exuded a cold murderous aura.
