Chapter 111: The End of the World (6)
The weather was extreme, with irregular changes in temperature, so it was not surprising that the flowers bloomed at night, but they just bloomed a few days earlier than expected.
When they returned to their residence, a bright red rose in the living room immediately caught their eye.
On a dark and desolate cold night, the overly simple and monotonous living room suddenly became colorful because of this flower.
Tian Zai leaned over, put his hands behind his back, and looked at it from the front, side, left, and right. He asked Tao Xing for the eighteenth time: "Isn't it beautiful?"
"Yeah, very beautiful." Tao Xing raised the corners of her mouth, looking at the flowers and also at the people.
The man in front of the flowers has curved eyebrows, eyes sparkling with light, and a smile brighter than the flowers.
But after a long time, that smile was suddenly covered with a hint of sadness.
Tao Xing asked, "What's the matter?"
Tianzai stood up and hesitated, "Can I not leave?"
"What?" Tao Xing didn't understand. What did he mean by leaving or not?
"I said before... to stay here and wait for the flowers to bloom, but now... the flowers have bloomed, and I don't want to leave, okay?" There was anticipation in his eyes.
Tao Xing had forgotten what he had said. He smiled faintly and did not answer whether it was okay or not. He just asked, "Why don't you want to leave?"
"I can't bear to leave you." Tianzai took a step forward. "Today I saw flowers blooming, but I didn't see you. I didn't have time to look at the flowers at that time. I just wanted to find you. In my heart, you are more important than flowers."
Yes, he just came back and started looking around the flowers, feeling very curious. Before that, he must have been too busy or too in no mood to take a closer look.
Tao Xing's eyes were filled with tenderness: "I am more important than flowers, why?"
"Maybe it's because... I like you." Tianzai's words were very gentle, like a drop of nectar, dripping into Tao Xing's heart.
Tao Xing said softly, "Do you know what humans like?"
"I don't need to know that." Tian Zai said, "I know I like you and I love you."
Tao Xing was so excited that she didn't notice that her words had been exposed. The person in front of her didn't notice it either, and just repeated in a clear voice: "I love you."
The rose moved slightly, casting a shadow on the wall.
Tao Xing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded seriously: "Yes."
Then he stretched out his hands and embraced the person in front of him.
Yes, he does not need to understand human emotions, he also has "love" in his own mind.
Tao Xing lowered her eyebrows and kissed his hair gently, saying softly, "I love you, too."
The person in his arms raised his head, his red eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled.
Tao Xing also smiled and smiled back at him.
When he was tired of laughing, Tianzai hooked his arms around Tao Xing's neck and stood on tiptoe to kiss her.
Laughter pressed against lips that touched.
The world was desolate, and they were in a small room, next to a blooming rose, kissing passionately.
Later, their lips were a little swollen, and their faces and the back of their necks were red. They reluctantly separated and smiled at each other again.
I don’t know how long I laughed before I remembered that it was late at night and time to go to bed.
Tianzai said, "I am more reluctant to leave you than before, and you still want to sleep with me."
Tao Xing readily agreed, but the situation now was a little different from before.
The other person had fallen asleep in his arms before, and his heart was at peace.
This time, the person in his arms was not asleep, and he was not so calm.
He could clearly feel the other person's body's reaction, but that clear face always showed an innocent expression, asking him: "What's wrong with me?"
As soon as he saw that face, Tao Xing felt that he was acting like a hooligan by having evil thoughts, so he took a deep breath and said, "Nothing."
"Then...then you are the same as me, what's wrong with you?"
Tao Xing continued to breathe: "I'm fine too?"
"Are you really alright?"
"fine."
"Then I feel relieved." Tianzai rubbed against his arms, sticking tightly, "Let's sleep."
"Okay." Tao Xing squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
We slept late that night and got up late the next day. The temperature had risen and the people hugging each other felt a little warm.
Tianzai opened his eyes and saw that the other person had woken up, but did not move, as if he was still looking at him.
He arched his eyebrows: "Do you want to get up?"
"You're awake, then get up." Tao Xing stroked his eyes and lifted the quilt.
Tianzai sat up, discovered something, turned around, and looked at the bed: "I'm already well, why aren't you well yet?"
The sight fell on a very awkward position, the distance was very close, and the person lying on the ground wanted to reach out and point it.
Tao Xing: “!!”
He grabbed the quilt and covered himself.
"Have you been like this all night? Are you okay?"
Tao Xing: “Ahem.”
Yes, I was like this all night, but...
"I'm fine." He gritted his teeth and said, "You get up first, okay?"
"Are you really okay?"
"It's okay." Tao Xing smiled.
Scourge climbed over him and got out of bed.
Tao Xing's smile froze again, and it took a while for her to recover.
During the day, when the weather is good, the flowers should be taken to the balcony. The breeze is blowing and the sun is shining on the branches. Tao Xing thought for a moment and said, "Do you want the people at the base to take a look at this flower?"
"Yes," Tianzai said without hesitation, "Only humans have the ability to appreciate beauty. It would be great to have someone to appreciate it with."
"Then..." Tao Xing said, "Can I borrow your communicator to take a picture and send it to the base?"
"Can we take a picture?" Tianzai said, "I'll take it."
He turned the communicator over and over again. Tao Xing smiled secretly and helped him press a few buttons.
"I... know, it's just that I haven't taken a photo in a long time and forgot." Tianzai tried to make amends for himself by pointing the camera at the flowers and pressing the switch to freeze a photo.
He touched it lightly with his fingers and realized that the flowers in the photo would not wither. His eyes suddenly lit up and he reached out and stroked them again and again.
"If you want to send it, you might as well send it to the command center." Tao Xing held his hand and guided him to press a few keys.
Then, he raised his head and thought for a moment.
Natural disasters are no longer polluting, so can we touch the flowers?
Would you like to try it?
But, I'm not sure.
After thinking it over, he did not make the suggestion.
The three meals a day are the same as usual, but they are different from before. When people in love are together, everything they do is fun, and no matter what they do, they want to stick together.
As they were eating, they changed from sitting face to face to sitting in a row, their bodies touching, their arms touching, they played chess and cards, and as they played, they sat together, and then, slowly, they sat in each other's arms.
Tao Xing had a question: "Wouldn't it mean that all the cards have been seen?"
"Is the purpose of my sitting here to concentrate on playing cards?" Tianzai asked back.
"That's true." Tao Xing smiled, put down the cards, and lifted the chin of the person in his arms.
However, there was also a bit of sweet torture in the happiness. Every night, Tao Xing would open his eyes, look empty, and listen to the question in his ear: "You have changed again, are you really okay?"
"Are you really okay? Are you okay? Are you okay?..."
"Oh." Tao Xing let out a long sigh.
No, he had to find a way to teach Natural Disaster a lesson.
Where should I start teaching? How can I not be vulgar or a hooligan, and not appear to have ulterior motives?
He was in trouble again.
So, I could only let out another long sigh.
The question "Are you okay?" continued in his ear for half a month, and he sighed for half a month.
In half a month, the rose will wither.
Early in the morning, a petal fell on the balcony. A passerby picked it up, sighed and lamented, and shed a few tears.
Tao Xing stood in front of him, wiped away the tears, looked at the petals in his hand, and was slightly surprised.
The petals were not withered, which meant that he could touch the flowers.
He was delighted and held Tianzai's hand: "Don't be sad, look at this petal, it is so vivid in your hand, it looks like it was just born."
“But it has withered…” Tianzai shook his head, then paused and stared at the petals.
Then, his heart started beating wildly. He walked carefully to the flowerpot, stroked his heart gently, raised his trembling hand, and touched the flower branch.
The branches swayed slightly but did not wither.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out his hand and touched the flower.
In the sunshine, the man caressing the flowers was trembling slightly with joy. Tao Xing leaned beside him and looked at him with a smile.
It was the third day after the rose petals fell when the communicator sent out two notifications in succession.
The morning sun was bright and Tao Xing got up, but the people around him were still asleep. The communicator repeated twice and an indicator light indicated that it was an important notification.
Tao Xing took it and looked at it, saying that his mission had changed, and the command center notified him to go to the temporary meeting place in the east immediately for face-to-face negotiations.
The place was not far away and could be reached in about ten minutes. Tao Xing packed up briefly and went there. From a distance, he saw a row of awnings with many people waiting underneath. The commander was in the lead, followed by the soldiers. Dr. Qi and several researchers were also there.
There was no sound of airplanes roaring. Perhaps because they were afraid of disturbing the natural disaster, these people got off the planes and walked over from a long distance away.
Seeing him approach, the commander stepped forward and said, "Admiral Tao, I asked you to come here in person today to inform you of a few things. First, the Doomsday Base Plan has been officially terminated. We will evacuate today."
"Termination of the plan means..."
"The natural disaster has not been polluting for a long time." The speaker was Dr. Qi. "We are now preparing to re-evaluate it, and it will probably be ranked eleventh."
"Is there an eleventh level?" Tao Xing asked.
"There wasn't any before, but there is now. Since the natural disaster, there has been no pollution, and it is level 11."
"Yes." The commander said, "The termination of the plan means that the Scourge is no longer an important defense target. The hyperbaric chamber has been put away, and Admiral Tao, you don't have to lure him to the Doomsday Base anymore."
The breeze blew away the dust, Tao Xing raised his eyes and smiled knowingly.
"Then, the second thing, Admiral Tao, your trapping mission is over."
The smile froze slightly: "Should I evacuate the sanatorium?"
The commander nodded: "You have a new mission, Admiral Tao, please obey my orders."
Tao Xing stood at attention.
"The first task is to cooperate with the Institute of Science and Technology to build the 'Ark'."
"receive."
"Second mission..." Dust suddenly swept in, and the awning was overturned. He was interrupted before he could finish his words, and a group of soldiers immediately stepped forward to resist.
Several people looked forward at the same time, all with panic expressions on their faces.
Tao Xing's heartbeat stopped and she slowly turned around to look over.
The wind stopped at this moment, and the young man with clear eyes and brows was standing behind him, looking at him angrily.
No one knew when he came, but judging from his expression, he must have heard a lot of things.
His already red eyes became even more bloodshot as he stared at Tao Xing: "You left again while I was sleeping. I opened my eyes and all the roses had withered. I didn't see you."
He took a step forward: "So you are Admiral Tao."
"So you already knew that I'm not human."
"So I'm so powerful in the eyes of humans. My name is Natural Disaster?"
"So... you approached me in order to destroy me..."
"No!" Tao Xing did not explain the previous words, but he denied the last sentence.
"You don't need to say more." Tianzai clenched his fist lightly, and the wind suddenly rose. The human figure suddenly turned into a ball of black gas, and countless red vines flew out, and came with the rustling strong wind.
The soldiers quickly stepped forward, only to hear Dr. Qi scream, "Oh no, his contamination has appeared."
"The range is only a few meters at present, but it is expanding. Don't fight it head-on, don't contact it, and retreat quickly." Dr. Qi shouted loudly.
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, but no one retreated. They lined up in rows, and with a few swishes, they loaded their guns.
The vines attacked.
Tao Xing pushed the soldier away, stepped forward and grabbed the cane.
"The contamination has disappeared again." Dr. Qi shouted in shock, "What happened?"
No one knew, not even Tao Xing. He wanted to talk to Tian Zai, but the other party was angry. He swung the vines hard, and they flew out of his hands and waved towards everyone.
"It appears again!" Dr. Qi shouted, "Quickly retreat..."
The soldiers who were charging forward were stunned again, and Tao Xing had grabbed the vines again.
"It disappeared again."
Everyone: “…”
Tao Xing: “…”
With a whoosh, the vines were pulled away again.
"It appears again." Dr. Qi shouted.
"Admiral Tao, once you touch it, the contamination will be gone." By this time, everyone had discovered the pattern.
Natural Disaster also discovered it, and became even more angry. The circle of red vines rolled up like a chain, not revealing any part of it, leaving him no chance to catch it.
Black gas coiled in the vines and rose into the air.
It was not known whether the frequent appearance and disappearance of the pollution affected his form, or whether he was in extreme anger and sadness and could not maintain his appearance, but suddenly, the vine exploded and the black gas swirled wildly like a whirlpool.
Then the rotating black gas suddenly lost its color, and under the scorching sun it shook suddenly and turned into a white mist.
The wind stopped for a moment, the dust slowly fell to the ground, and a thick fog shrouded Tao Xing's sight.
Tao Xing was stunned for a moment, as if a huge bell was colliding in his head. Amid the buzzing sound, some memories came flooding back like a flood.
Without waiting for a reaction, the fog dissipated in an instant and turned into black air wrapped in vines. The natural disaster's mood seemed to have stabilized.
However, dark clouds covered the sun, and the barren land suddenly became dark.
"The pollution has reappeared, and the scope is expanding rapidly." Dr. Qi's voice trembled a little. This time, the pollution really expanded very quickly. "He is still very angry."
"Retreat immediately!" the commander ordered.
Everyone retreated quickly.
In the wind and sand, Tao Xing ran wildly towards the center of the pollution.
"Admiral Tao!" the commander turned around and shouted, "Danger."
Even though he would not be infected, an angry Scourge could still pierce his body with a vine.
Tao Xing pretended not to hear it, ran to the black gas, raised his head and said loudly: "My words are true, I didn't lie to you."
The wind was still howling. Not knowing how far her words had been carried, Tao Xing raised her voice: "I approach you not to destroy you, but to love you."
I came into this world to love you.
