Chapter 488 You Choose
Every time he spoke to Ye Xi, he sounded flattering.
Lu Feihan felt inexplicably unhappy after hearing this, frowned slightly, and looked at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi didn't fall for this trick at all. He looked at the young man coldly and said, "Just tell us directly that you want to use this to exchange for some reward from us."
The boy froze in silence.
It seemed that he also understood that Ye Xi just wouldn't listen no matter what he did.
He pursed his lips, looked at the younger brother of the same clan beside him, then raised his eyes to Ye Xi and said, "We just want to survive in this apocalypse. We just want a place to live."
"I previously arranged for you to go to the military. As long as you cooperated, the military would definitely arrange a new habitat for you and perhaps even help you find other members of your tribe. But in the end, you insisted on following our team. Why is that?"
Ye Xi crossed his arms, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the young man Mo suspiciously.
In short, in her opinion, this kid didn't tell much truth.
“Those people…”
Fear showed on the young man's face, and he choked up and said, "They will take us for experiments, or even dissect us. How will we survive then?"
"that is!"
The blue-skinned boy gritted his teeth and said, "They want to draw our blood. They have no idea how precious our blood is. After it's drawn, our bodies will get worse and worse. No matter how much we eat, we won't be able to replenish it!"
“…”
Ye Xi was overwhelmed by what he heard. He really didn't feel like caring about these two guys. He looked at Lu Feihan and the others and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Lu Feihan glanced at the two blue-skinned men calmly and said, "Leave it to the military."
When the young man Mo and the blue-skinned kid heard this, their faces turned ugly again.
Ye Yan also said to Ye Xi: "Xiao Xi, we still have a lot of things to do. We also need to take a closer look at Lu Ye's situation. It's more important to deal with our own affairs first."
The nearly one year of the end of the world has also allowed her to grow a lot.
Sympathy is sympathy, and there is still a heart for pity for the weak, but we will not take the initiative to accept these "weak" people. They are just a small team, and no matter how powerful the team is, it can never compare to the military.
"that is!"
Long Liang stepped forward and looked at the two blue-skinned men. "You can't have us take you in, but you can either go to the military or leave on your own. Those are the only two choices!"
Although Liu Hong and Han Chi didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces also showed their attitudes.
They are all living teams and will not accept these two people.
Ye Xi spread his hands and looked at the silent boy. "I don't want to say the same thing again. My teammates, you can make your own choices."
“…”
The young boy Mo and the blue-skinned kid turned pale again.
The director of the museum next to him couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Alas, they are just two little kids. Our aquarium is short of staff. Don't you want to find a place to live? If you don't mind, you can stay here. Although I'm at retirement age, I can still take care of two little kids."
After these words were spoken, Ye Yan and others were helpless.
Ye Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the old curator, "Are you sure? They are not ordinary people."
"Sure. I happen to have an old friend in the military who will definitely support me when the time comes. You know City A, right? My old friend is the current general defending City A, his last name is Wen."
When the old curator said this, he had a smile on his face, and a bit of pride in his expression. After all, he had an old friend who was in a high position. These young people should understand, right?
How could Ye Xi not understand?
I understand it so well!
She smiled at the old curator and said, "Of course!"
He turned around and glanced coldly at the young man Mo: "I know what you are up to. Since the old curator is willing to take you in, you should stay here."
After saying this, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he signaled Lu Feihan and others to say goodbye to the old director and leave.
The young man stood there silently, watching Ye Xi walking further and further away, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Why does she hate him so much?
"Don't be sad, kid. You can rest assured about what you just said. As long as you are in our aquarium, Grandpa will definitely ensure that you can live a good life!"
The old curator comforted the two children.
The blue-skinned kid's eyes lit up, and he tugged at the boy's arm, "Mo, you heard that! Grandpa wants to keep us here, it's much better than that woman named Ye Xi!"
The young man hummed softly, then cheered up and smiled at the old curator: "Thank you."
-
Outside the aquarium.
Ye Yan couldn't help but ask Ye Xi, "Xiao Xi, are you sure leaving them here won't pose any threat to the aquarium?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Their kin are already dead. And previous research data proves that they didn't evolve into their current form before the apocalypse. Instead, they were experimented on by the Kaizhong Group. The military should be investigating how they became like this."
Ye Xi looked at her sister and said, "As for those two children, it's best for them to stay here obediently. If there are any other unusual movements, the director will not be easily offended. Although the old man's ability level is not high, his emotional intelligence is very high. He is also a good friend of General Wen. He is not a simple person."
Long Liang gave a thumbs-up and agreed, "Sister Xi is really perceptive. I just observed that the old curator's palms are very rough, with thick calluses at the base of his thumb. There are also old wounds on his neck, like the kind left by a bullet being shot in and then removed. The marks are very obvious."
Liu Hong was amused when she heard this. "Doesn't this mean we've found a new backer for those two guys?"
"Perhaps."
Ye Xi didn't want to talk about those two anymore, so he turned to look at Lu Feihan and asked, "Let's go back and deal with Lu Ye's body first?"
"Um."
Lu Feihan nodded, "We'll check carefully later to see if those two are lying."
The conversation between the two still left Ye Yan and the others confused.
After returning home, Ye Yan couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xi, what's going on with Lu Ye? If he's dead, can the antidote you mentioned still be made?"
“Cough cough cough…”
Ye Xi choked for a moment, then he remembered that Lu Feihan had told him before that Lu Ye was also one of his incarnations, but he did not tell Ye Yan and others about this.
After all, they had worked together for a while before, and Lu Ye’s behavior... was not very pleasing.
She glanced at Lu Feihan.
Lu Feihan's eyes happened to meet hers, and he immediately understood what she was thinking. He took the initiative to say to Ye Yan: "Lu Ye's body, like Xie Ning's, is mine."
"What?!"
It was Liu Hong who exclaimed.
She had just taken off her shoes and was standing at the door. When she heard this, she was stunned and looked at Lu Feihan with wide eyes in disbelief.
Ye Yan was also dizzy after hearing this, and looked at her sister Ye Xi for confirmation.
Ye Xi pursed his lips and nodded seriously, "Well, I just learned about this not long ago."
Han Chi, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xi knew about this before she returned to S City, right? And then she went to S City with Lu Feihan just to find Lu Ye's body... body?"
