Chapter 112: The End of the World (7)
The cold wind died down, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent from the hustle and bustle.
Tao Xing raised her head and repeated word by word: "I am here to love you."
The vines moved slightly, revealing a pair of red eyes in the dark shadows.
"The contamination...disappeared again." Dr. Qi whispered, "But they didn't touch it."
So, there seems to be no pattern.
At first, he heard that kissing could make the pollution disappear, and guessed that Admiral Tao had different characteristics from others. Since he could resist pollution, then it was possible for him to purify the natural disaster. He even thought that at the beginning, the pollution of the natural disaster appeared and disappeared from time to time, and then it never appeared again. Maybe... the two of them had communicated in depth and the purification was more thorough.
It was precisely because of this conjecture that he believed that the pollution of the natural disaster could not be reversed, so he proposed to downgrade it to Level 11.
But today, when the pollution appeared again, Dr. Qi realized that he was wrong, it was not "communication".
Not even a touch.
What is it exactly?
The pollution disappeared again, and the retreating people breathed a sigh of relief and looked back in the dust.
Dr. Qi looked up at the man with his head raised and the floating black mass. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he understood.
It's not a kiss, it's not a touch, it's a heartbeat.
The impact of natural disasters will determine whether the pollution will disappear.
He remembered that a week after the natural disaster approached the sanatorium, he detected a one-minute disappearance.
At that time, Tianzai was already moved.
The kiss that followed was a long-lasting heartbeat. At first I thought there was a pattern to the duration of the kiss, but later I couldn't find any pattern. After all, I didn't know where the heartbeat came from, so how could there be any pattern?
Later, it wasn't because the two of them kept sticking together that the pollution never appeared, but rather, the natural disaster was always moving in his heart.
He was angry today, and his heartache overwhelmed his heartbeat, so the contamination reappeared. When Tao Xing grabbed the vines, his heartbeat could not be suppressed as soon as they touched him.
So it goes on over and over again, and even at this point, there is no need for contact, the words "I love you" are enough to make his heart beat again.
Dr. Qi did not tell Admiral Tao about this discovery in person. Admiral Tao's "love you" was naturally not for any other reason. There was no consideration of interests. It just came from the heart.
The red eyes in the black air blinked and said to the people below: "I don't believe you."
But Dr. Qi knew and he believed.
Under the dark air, Tao Xing said slowly: "Whether you believe it or not, I must tell you."
The black energy snorted, stretched out a bit of the vine, and pointed forward: "You have tools specifically for catching me, just wait for me to go in."
"I didn't intend to take you there. I never had such an idea." Tao Xing said, "I didn't expect you to go there alone. I was scared to death."
Tianzai was stunned for a moment, and only then realized that he had been wandering in danger. He couldn't help but feel a little scared, and the vines exploded a little more.
But the pollution did not reappear.
He looked forward and pointed at the commander, "But they are planning to capture me. Humans will not tolerate contaminants."
Tao Xing also looked back at the commander, then raised his head again, his expression somewhat solemn: "That day, they let you go, twice."
The black gas moved suddenly, and the exploded vines drooped slightly in the wind.
There was silence all around, and everyone held their breath.
After a while, the shadow raised his eyes and said, "Even so, humans still regard me as an enemy, so I will also regard you as an enemy. If you let me go, I may not let you go." The vines fluttered again, "We are irreconcilable."
The pollution still did not appear, but the dancing vines made the nervous people step back reflexively.
"So what do you want to do?" Tao Xing smiled.
The black energy shook, and the vines dropped: "I want to capture humans too."
"Oh." Tao Xing grasped the vine on his face in his palm, "I am a human, take me away."
The vine shook and the eyes looked over.
"First, take me hostage. If you have any subsequent requests, tell them. If you catch them all at once, no one will do what you want." Tao Xing said dimly.
Red eyes blinked, "That makes sense."
After saying that, the vine hooked and the person on the ground was suddenly rolled up.
Everyone was shocked: "Admiral Tao!"
There were a few more vines on Tao Xing's body, and she was wrapped tightly around the black energy.
He lowered his eyebrows and smiled at the eyes in the black air. When he heard the exclamation, he turned back and looked down: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Hei Qi was unhappy and snorted coldly: "No, you are in trouble."
Then, a strong wind blew, and he flew away with the "hostages".
Flying over the ruins of the city, the barren mountains and rivers, I saw countless pollutants entrenched everywhere, and then I saw a lush and strange forest with huge serrated branches and leaves, red dewdrops dripping on the green leaves, and creatures of various shapes and colors wandering around.
Tian Zai put Tao Xing down next to a treetop covered with vines. The tree was extremely tall, dozens of meters above the ground, and the vines were slippery, so one would slip if he stepped on them.
When he fell backwards, he was dragged by another vine. Tao Xing rolled over and another vine appeared beside him.
After a while, countless vines appeared all around. These vines were different from those on the natural disaster, as they were all green.
Green vines wove into a net, surrounding him tightly inside. The net became denser and denser, and soon it was impenetrable, blocking out the strange leaves and fanged creatures outside, as well as the whistling wind and the roars of monsters.
This looks like a cage isolated from the outside world, but Tao Xing feels that it is more like a nest.
A green, beautiful, sheltered from wind, rain and danger, quiet and clean nest.
He sat peacefully in the nest, watching the black air overflowing, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
The black energy settled and turned into a human form. The young man still had his eyebrows and eyes like stars, but there was anger in his eyes: "You are caught by me, don't even think about escaping."
"I know." Tao Xing said.
"Don't expect anyone to save you. No one can save you."
"I know." Tao Xing smiled.
"You...you lied to me, I will punish you severely."
"Okay." Tao Xing continued to laugh, "But..."
"What?" Tianzai's eyes narrowed.
"You lied to me too." Tao Xing said, "You pretended to be me and lied to me that you were a human."
"I..." Tianzai was stunned and bit his lower lip slightly, "You are a prisoner now, and I am the one who arrested you. I am not wrong."
"Oh." Tao Xing raised an eyebrow, "Okay."
Then he half-lay on the vines: "So how are you going to punish me?"
"You are not allowed to go out."
"that's all?"
"Don't even think about doing anything crooked. This is my territory, and you can't leave it anyway."
"Okay, I understand." Tao Xing put her hands behind her head, "Then can I go to sleep?"
Tianzai didn't say anything, which meant he acquiesced. Tao Xing closed his eyes. The green had not yet faded from his eyes, and all he saw was a feeling of comfort and relaxation.
There was a movement around him, so he secretly opened his eyes and looked over. Tianzai was also sitting next to him, half lying with his arms as a pillow, not speaking, as if in a daze.
The people around him didn't move, and Tao Xing didn't open his eyes again. Later, he really fell asleep, and had a very peaceful sleep without any disturbance.
When he woke up, it was already the next morning. A faint light shone through the gaps between the vines, bringing light to the nest. It was warm but not dazzling. As soon as Tao Xing moved, he saw that his body was covered with vines.
Unlike the green color of the nest, these are red. They are the vines on the body of the natural disaster. They are not meant to tie him up, but are just casually draped over him, one by one, layer by layer, like the hem of a skirt.
He turned to look at the people around him.
This person was asleep too, lying on his side facing him, his hands resting on his chin, his eyelashes casting a silhouette in the light.
It was impossible to tell where the vines grew from on his body. It seemed that there was no obvious fixed location. Tao Xing tried to pull one and felt along the source, but when it was within a palm's width of Tianzai, he could no longer touch it.
Yes, natural disasters themselves are a mass of air. They are emitted from the air and have no source.
But the man felt it when they were pulling, and seeing him frown, Tao Xing quickly let go and raised his hand guiltily.
The man fell asleep again, and he dared to move. He glanced at the peacefully sleeping face and couldn't help but feel his heart moved.
His movements were so fast that he was faster than he could realize, and by the time he realized what was happening, his hand had already touched the other person's face.
The man was still awakened by him and opened his eyes suddenly.
Tao Xing's hands froze: "I..."
The person who just woke up was still a little confused: "What... are you going to do?"
"Sorry, I accidentally touched it." Tao Xing quickly withdrew his hand.
Tian Zai's eyes moved, a hint of grievance flashed across them, he slowly sat up, rubbed his arms, and looked back: "Aren't you going to get up yet?"
"Um... I remember, but these..." Tao Xing lowered his eyebrows and looked at the vines on his body, "Can I lift them up?"
Tianzai's face turned red, and he turned his head, and the vines suddenly retracted.
Tao Xing sat up, rubbed his arms and shoulders, and sighed, "Oh, it's quiet, and warm, but it's a bit uncomfortable. If there were a blanket, it would be perfect."
Tianzai narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't push your luck."
"I just said that, I don't really want it. Anyway, I don't have it even if I want it." Tao Xing shook her head, "But it really hurts. Look, my arm is red."
He stretched out his arm, and Tianzai looked down and said, "Where is the red? Why didn't I see it?"
"Why not? Here, here, and there are more on the back."
"Then... just bear with it. You are a prisoner and have no right to make any demands."
"Oh." Tao Xing pursed her lips and lay back down.
"What are you doing?" asked Tianzai.
"Go to sleep."
"Didn't you just get up?"
"But...what can I do if I don't sleep?"
Tian Zai was stunned, silent for a moment, and said, "Then go to sleep."
He stood there for a while, turned around a few times, and then turned back into black gas: "I'm going to go out for a while."
About an hour later, he came back, with some things rolled up in the black air. When it changed into a human form, the things he was holding were clearly visible.
Two quilts.
Judging from the pattern, it was taken from their sanatorium.
Tao Xing smiled faintly: "Wow, you brought it."
"I was just passing by and took it." Tianzai threw the thing in front of him, "Humans are just delicate."
Tao Xing smiled secretly, spread out the quilt, put one bed underneath and used the other as a cover, and after spreading it out neatly, he shook his head again: "There are only two beds, and they are already used up. There is not enough for the two of us to sleep in."
The people around me looked at him cross-eyed: "Do I need to sleep on the quilt?"
"Aren't you uncomfortable?"
"I slept like this before I met you. It would have hurt a long time ago."
"Oh." Tao Xing nodded to show that she understood. She fluffed the quilt to make it softer and lay down comfortably. "Much better."
It turns out that the talk of natural disasters was premature.
After nightfall, he lay on the other side, but no matter how he slept, he felt uncomfortable.
I didn't feel any pain for a long time before, but today I feel uncomfortable everywhere.
In fact, I had this feeling yesterday, but it wasn’t that strong. Today, it was obviously difficult for me to fall asleep.
He thought that he was really being pampered.
However, he could not embarrass himself in front of humans, especially this prisoner, so he crossed his arms and tossed and turned.
A faint laugh was heard in the quiet little space.
He immediately stood up and walked to the bed: "What are you laughing at?"
Tao Xing poked her head out from under the quilt, raised her hand slightly, and pulled him down with force.
The world was spinning, and the natural disaster had already fallen on Tao Xing. Then, the man turned sideways, and he slid down to the man's side and fell into the soft quilt. His body felt warm and the quilt covered him.
"Just sleep here." Tao Xing tucked in the quilt and said in a gentle tone, "Don't we always sleep in each other's arms?"
Tianzai raised his eyes slightly, was silent for a moment, snorted, but did not get up, just turned away.
Tao Xing smiled helplessly and stroked his hair.
The night was warm and comfortable.
But when it was daybreak, Tianzai was not facing away from her. He had turned around at some point and buried his face in Tao Xing's arms.
The habits formed during the time they spent together and the love engraved in the habits, how could they disappear so easily? When he was conscious, he could still barely control himself, but when he fell asleep, his body automatically betrayed him.
