Chapter 113: The End of the World (8)
When they opened their eyes, their eyes met. Tao Xing was smiling, while the person in front of him had a flushed face and stared.
Tao Xing nodded at his eyes and said softly, "Let me tell you something serious. I am a human being and I need some necessities. Without them, I will die."
"What do you want?" Tianzai immediately forgot about being angry and only felt nervous.
"Food and water."
"That's easy, I'll get it for you when I get back."
"And..." Tao Xing coughed lightly, "The bathroom."
"Can't you just go down?"
"You won't let me out."
"I..." Tianzai was speechless. "You, it's very dangerous for you to go out. There are pollutants outside. They can eat you up without leaving any residue."
He stood up and said, "Let me think about it. I'll go get you some food first." After saying that, he turned into black gas and left.
He came back in less than an hour, put a lot of instant food and bottled water in the nest, and went out again quickly. Tao Xing heard that he was not far away and was busy nearby, making a lot of rustling sounds.
After a while, a door suddenly opened on the side of Chaoxue, and Tianzai poked his head in: "Follow me." Then, he held his hand and said, "The road is not very good, go slowly."
Tao Xing walked out through the door and her eyes lit up.
A green floating bridge with vines entwined, leaving some gaps for light to pass through but no other living things to get in. It feels wobbly when you walk on it, but it is full of greenery and vitality.
Tianzai led him and walked forward step by step, probably from one treetop to another. There was another nest next to it. When he pushed open the door, Tao Xing was shocked again.
The kitchen of the sanatorium was reproduced in the same proportion, with stoves, pots, pans, and several large buckets of water.
Tao Xing was delighted but also worried: "Can we make a fire here?"
"Okay," Scourge said, "I don't want them to catch fire, so I won't."
Then he led him forward, continued walking on the floating bridge, passed a few treetops, and saw another nest. Behind the door was the bathroom, and all the materials there had been moved here. Tao Xing paid special attention and found that there was a sewage system.
"You walk on the floating bridge, the pollutants can't touch you." Tianzai said, "Are you all ready?"
"All ready." Tao Xing said with a smile.
"Then you stay here quietly and don't go out."
"Okay." Tao Xing stretched out his voice. He felt so comfortable that he didn't want to go out yet.
He quickly prepared a meal and asked Tianzai to sit down and eat together.
As they took their meals, they both looked up at each other tacitly.
Time seems to have gone back to the past, with three meals a day, simple and peaceful.
Back in the "bedroom", Tao Xing sorted out the food and water, and while picking up, he found something.
He smiled and said, "You brought the communicator with you." But there was no signal here and we couldn't contact the base.
Tianzai raised his head and said, "I got in there by accident." Hearing this, he thought that the communication device originally belonged to someone else, but he had occupied it for so long. He felt embarrassed for a moment, but then he became angry again. "You know I don't know these words, right?"
"Uh...yeah." Tao Xing admitted softly.
Tianzai was annoyed, took the communicator and clicked on the message: "What did you say?"
Tao Xing: "...Don't read it anymore."
"No, you have to read it."
Tao Xing coughed softly and said, "Admiral Tao, we have detected that the natural disaster is approaching the sanatorium. Please be careful and try not to anger it or arouse its suspicion."
Natural Disaster: “…”
Tianzai’s face turned pale: “What about this?”
Tao Xing: "Admiral Tao, the activity of the natural disaster pollution has decreased, which means that its scope will not expand so easily. There is no need to rush. The Admiral can slowly lure them out."
Tianzai’s face darkened: “This.”
"The pollution disappeared at half past ten. What on earth did you do? I was so anxious."
Smoke came out of Tianzai’s head. He threw away the communicator and stood up angrily.
Tao Xing stopped him in time: "I told you, I have a mission, but the mission is the mission. I am me. As a human, I have to think about the base, but I also love you and will not hurt you."
"But..." Tianzai said, "Aren't you taking advantage of me?"
"I'm trying to find a way to have the best of both worlds." Tao Xing looked into his eyes and said seriously, "I lied to you, but I never used you. From the beginning, I approached you only because I loved you. This is true."
Tianzai's eyes flickered slightly, but his anger had not subsided. After a while, he pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to believe you anymore." Then he threw away his sleeves and turned into black gas and disappeared.
He was away for quite a long time this time and didn't come back for the whole day.
Until the evening, he returned, transformed into a human form in front of the quilt, hugged his arms, and lowered his eyes: "It's too cold outside."
Tao Xing smiled silently and pulled him onto the quilt.
Then, he turned over, pressed the person under him, and gave him a warm kiss.
Tianzai's eyes suddenly widened and his mind went blank.
He felt that he should push her away, but he raised his hands and then put them down again, and just tilted his head slightly: "You..."
Tao Xing put her hand on his lips, stopped him from talking, and then kissed him again.
Tianzai groaned softly, breathing heavily, and his blank thoughts returned bit by bit, but they were once again in a mess.
He was a little confused about the situation, but he felt that it was natural and there was nothing wrong with it.
The familiar warmth brought back boundless emotions, and his heart was beating fast, and he had never been able to contain his emotions. His hands finally wrapped around the shoulders of the person on him, and then he closed his eyes and entwined their lips.
After a while, the person on him finally stopped, stroked his face with a faint smile, and turned over to lie down next to him.
Tianzai held his hand, rubbed it lightly, felt the warmth of it, said nothing, just looked at him.
Tao Xing smiled again and pulled him into her arms: "Are you still cold?"
Tianzai dived into his arms and put his face on his chest: "Don't think I won't be angry."
"Okay." Tao Xing smiled and said, "You can be angry, but don't make yourself uncomfortable."
The person in his arms snorted, then snuggled into his arms again. Her face was still angry, but she couldn't help but smile. It's not that there's nothing wrong with her, it's very good, everything is good.
After daybreak, a ray of sunlight came in and it was still very nice.
When Tao Xing opened his eyes, the person in his arms had already woken up, but did not move. She just looked at him with her eyes open.
He lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "What's the matter?"
The other person pursed his lips, leaned over him, and kissed him gently on the lips.
He took the initiative.
Tao Xing's heart couldn't help but move, so she put her arms around his shoulders and brought him closer.
Until his breathing became unstable and his face turned red, Tao Xing asked softly, "Are you still angry?"
"angry."
"Oh." Tao Xing raised her eyebrows and kissed her again.
His consciousness was hazy and his heartbeat was disordered, but a loud noise interrupted him. With a slight breath, the two of them stood up and looked outside.
Scourge said, "There are humans approaching the forest."
"The only ones who can come here at this time are the military."
"Are you here to deal with me?"
"Maybe it's for me. I want to go out and take a look, okay?"
Tianzai said nothing, just stared at him coldly.
Tao Xing held his hand and said with a smile: "I won't run away. How about this, you tie me up, okay?"
"Of course I will tie you up." The Scourge Vine waved and wrapped around his body. When it rolled down, it paused for a moment and did not continue to wrap around him, but just fell behind him.
Tao Xing looked back in confusion, but saw that the vines overlapped horizontally and vertically, and soon they were woven into a chair. He was pushed over by an invisible force and sat down. Then the vines wrapped around his body and bound his hands and feet.
"You..." Tao Xing was tied up and half leaning on it. He felt very comfortable, but just very curious.
Tianzai glanced at him but didn't reply.
He didn't want to say it because he was afraid that if the vines were tied directly on his body, it would hurt him and make him red.
Even though he didn't say anything, Tao Xing had guessed it almost the same. She smiled slightly, and the wind rustled in her ears. She knew that she had already gone out of the nest and was soon hanging outside the forest.
A lot of people came from the military, but there were too many pollutants in the forest and they couldn't get in. They were sending out sound wave signals outside, which could not be heard by the pollutants without human form, but Admiral Tao, who was a human, and the natural disaster that evolved into a human form, could detect the signal.
Sure enough, they came out.
Hearing the noise, everyone looked up and said, "General Tao, we are here to rescue you..."
Then, Admiral Tao was seen half lying comfortably on a rattan chair, with a ball of black air hanging above him and vines spread out to block the sun for him.
With this posture, all she needs for a beach vacation is a pair of sunglasses.
"General Tao, you..." They wanted to say, do you need us to save you?
The person in the chair finished the sentence for them: "No need to save me, I'm fine."
"Oh, I see." Everyone nodded awkwardly, "When will you be back?"
"He's not going back." A voice came from the black air.
Everyone hesitated and asked Tao Xing: "General Tao..."
Tao Xing said: "Please tell the commander that I am safe and there is no need to send more people over."
"But……"
"No buts." The black energy raised its vines, "You can leave now."
Tao Xing also nodded: "Let's go."
The visitors were silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's go back then."
“No need to see you off.” The black energy picked up the rattan chair and turned to go deep into the forest.
Tao Xing looked back and remembered something: "Wait a minute, can I say something to them again?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm already like this, I can't run away, just say one more word."
A cold snort came from the black air, and Tao Xing suddenly heard the wind rising. The rattan chair returned to the outside of the forest, but the black air was probably angry and did not come back with it.
The people who were about to leave looked up and saw Tao Xing appear in the air again.
Tao Xing said to them, "The commander said last time that I have a new mission, but he only said half of it. General Lin, you were here last time, do you know what the second mission is?"
Admiral Lin was the admiral of the First Army. He nodded and said, "I know that the second mission assigned to you, Admiral Tao, by the command center that day was to appease the natural disaster."
Tao Xing's eyebrows moved slightly.
"The sanatorium's defense mechanism is not perfect and it is not suitable for long-term residence. The commander has already tidied up the Doomsday Base and prepared enough supplies. He wanted to order you to evacuate the sanatorium and live in the Doomsday Base with Natural Disaster." Admiral Lin said again.
The breeze blew the vines beside him, and Tao Xing smiled. Then the wind started to blow again, and the vine chair was suddenly pulled away. The natural disaster probably couldn't wait any longer.
