Yellow octopus?
Chen Zui had an idea when he heard this: "I want to have the ability to change color."
996: [Okay, okay, I'll get it done for you right away. As long as you don't kill the protagonist, we can discuss anything.]
It took less than a minute for 996 to assign this capability to Chen Zui.
So Ren Feng saw this scene: the pink little octopus rubbed its two tentacles together like snapping its fingers, and it turned into a yellow little octopus, a tender yellow color.
Ren Feng's pupils dilated.
The little octopus is trying hard to raise its head, showing its strength. If you look closely, you can see that its two tentacles are elegantly crossed in front of it like legs.
The tentacle moved again, and the little octopus turned green, then purple. These two colors made it look like it was poisonous. Then it turned into a bright red little octopus, which was so festive that it could be worn on the head as a hairpin decoration.
Ren Feng watched the constantly changing colors of the little octopus, like the flickering lightbulbs in the bar, and suddenly a line popped into his head: Hello Mr. DJ, don't stop this beat! I'm having a party in my head and it's impossible not to shake it. (Note 1)
The little octopus is still changing colors, blue and gray.
Ren Feng also supported him: "Will you still shine in the end?"
Hearing what he said, Chen Zui didn't even need to say anything. 996 had already started to arrange it very consciously, so in the end Chen Zuijiu really began to shine, from gold to silver and even rainbow light.
Chen Zui, who had turned into a monster in this world, was also affected by the simple nature of the monsters and became a little out of control.
When he finished his presentation, Ren Feng clapped his hands. "I know the most suitable name for you. It's - the ever-changing little octopus."
Chen Zui turned back into a pink little octopus and jumped onto Ren Feng's head. Ren Feng smiled and said, "Well, it seems he doesn't like this name. Let's just call him Little Octopus."
Ren Feng put on his backpack and started on his way. After leaving the city without the cover of buildings, it would be easier to spot any monsters if they appeared. He walked along the road. The most common things on the road were corpses. Most of the corpses showed signs of being turned over, so Ren Feng didn't bother to turn them over again.
Chen Zui's hat changed from a tissue into a blade of grass, which he held up with one of his tentacle. He had eight tentacles anyway, so he would just change one when he got tired.
996 tried to communicate with him: [Um...why don't you try to get Ren Feng to stop and wait for Su He?]
Fearing that Chen Zui might misunderstand, it quickly added, "I'm not ordering you."
Chen Zui erected his two tentacles as a backrest, leaned his big head on them comfortably, and hid in the shade of the leaves. All he needed was a cold drink to be perfect. In fact, he was quite curious about one thing.
[Su He's relationship with the two brothers is somewhat unusual. Does this book involve a harem?]
[No, no, it's pure love, but the popular bottom is the one who gets crushed. In the end, the bottom and the top are in a 1v1 situation. During the process, many people will like Su He. And Su He is not the traditional little white flower protagonist. He is the recently popular black lotus, a scheming bottom.]
[Because this is a post-apocalyptic story, people still like this kind of non-saintly character. ]
Later in the story, there will be several important male characters, namely tops 2, 3, and 4. Su He moves between these tops with great ease, training dogs, fishing for dogs, and even competing with several tops in a Shura field. The tug-of-war between them is very erotic, and readers love Su He's unwillingness to fall in love. In the end, Su He chooses Ren Feng, who has the strongest ability.
"What do you think? Do you also find this kind of bottom very attractive? I don't want to kill him at all."
Chen Zui chuckled.
996 didn't quite understand the meaning of his laughter and felt very nervous. It was talking about what readers thought were Su He's charms, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Ren Feng stopped and a colorful caterpillar appeared in front of him, blocking the road. The caterpillar was as big as a truck. Ren Feng did not move forward. He turned around and planned to climb over the guardrail and go around the caterpillar through the ground.
The caterpillar, which had been lying there motionless, turned and locked onto Ren Feng with seven or eight pairs of green eyes in its pupils at the same time after Ren Feng appeared. The next second, it actually stood up, with a hundred or eighty pairs of legs under its body, and it moved quickly to support its huge body and chase after Ren Feng.
Ren Feng didn't look back, he swiftly climbed over the guardrail and ran forward.
The caterpillar suddenly stopped, stuck the back half of its tail to the ground and retracted it, then it kicked its legs and suddenly bounced off, actually flying up and flying straight towards Ren Fengdan.
Chen Zui did not take any action. People like Ren Feng with such personality are not suitable to live under protection.
What's more, in a world like this, people have to improve their combat capabilities through repeated battles. Unless Ren Feng is in danger of death, he has no intention of taking action.
Besides, Ren Feng is the main character, he will definitely not die.
The wind created by the caterpillar's flight blew the leaves above his head.
Chen Zui tightened his grip on Ren Feng's hair.
Ren Feng quickly looked back and dodged to the side. Before he could even stand firmly, he turned around and swung his knife at the caterpillar that had just landed.
Although the knife hit the target, it made a sound like cutting on steel, and even sparks flew from the friction under the blade.
Ren Feng's pupils shrank in an instant. Monsters like this were the hardest to kill, but they all had one characteristic: there had to be a soft spot on their bodies, which was their death spot.
It’s just that this dead point needs to be found, it’s not a fixed location.
After allowing animals and plants to evolve, God left humans with this glimmer of hope. Sometimes Ren Feng would wonder if humans had caused too much damage, so God would bring down this punishment, but he didn't want humans to become extinct, so the current result occurred.
The caterpillar lashed out at him with its tail.
Ren Feng blocked it with the knife in his hand, but was still beaten back. The strength of a monster the size of a truck was beyond the ability of an ordinary human like him to contend with. His foot slipped down the ridge of the field and he twisted his leg. Heart-piercing pain came over him. Ren Feng ignored the pain and followed the force of the beating, without stopping, and ran away in one go.
Chen Zui on his head smiled, quite smart.
The fooled caterpillar chased Ren Feng again. With a gunshot, the bullet pierced the caterpillar's head. It seemed that its head was its Achilles' heel. The caterpillar's huge body collapsed with a "boom" sound.
Ren Feng stopped running, turned around and looked back, and saw a woman on the street put down her gun, and the wind blew her bright red hair.
——
Ren Feng had used guns as weapons several times in the past few years, but bullets were consumables. He limped back to the road, and the woman's two companions also came back after searching the surroundings.
Ren Feng: "Thank you."
The woman who saved him brushed her long hair that was messed up by the wind and looked at his feet: "Are you hurt?"
Ren Feng: "It's okay, just a sprain."
The woman didn't ask any more questions. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Xue, this is my sister Hu Yue, and this is Gao Qiang. We're planning to go to the base in the north. Would you like to come with us? I see you're quite skilled, so we can have more people to look after you."
"We have a car, and your feet probably aren't very convenient for traveling right now."
Their cars were parked in the field below the road, one SUV and one jeep.
Ren Feng thought about it and decided that it would probably take a week for his foot to recover to normal. He couldn't afford to delay. Moreover, if he encountered a monster during this period, he would be unable to move and the danger would be greatly increased.
"Thank you. I am indeed going to the base in the north."
Ren Feng got a ride and checked his swollen ankle in the back seat of the jeep. Fortunately, at least the bones were not broken.
Gao Qiang was driving the car and looked at Ren Feng in the rearview mirror: "Brother."
Ren Feng raised his eyes.
Gao Qiang: "Let me be clear, Hu Xue and I are a couple."
Ren Feng remembered how Hu Xue had just introduced him. She hadn't said he was her boyfriend, but that had nothing to do with him. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he said, "I like men."
Gao Qiang raised his eyebrows silently.
Ren Feng wrapped his ankle with a bandage.
"Are you the one on top? Or the one on the bottom?" Gao Qiang couldn't help but be curious.
"What do you think?" Ren Feng put on his shoes. The man had a rough and wild temperament, and he didn't look like he had been fucked.
Gao Qiang chuckled twice: "Don't like me."
Ren Feng: ...
Gao Qiang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a good figure, but after seeing Zhenzhu, he is at best a fish eye in Ren Feng's eyes.
Ren Feng felt uncomfortable with the other party's self-conceit and blurted out, "I have a boyfriend."
"ah?"
"Then he..."
Ren Feng: "We've gotten separated for now."
Gao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief for him and became even more curious: "What's your boyfriend like?"
"He's very handsome, tall, has a great figure, has a nice voice, and smells like roses."
Ren Feng just wanted to hit Gao Qiang hard, so he said a lot in one breath, completely unaware that the little octopus on his head was smiling subtly.
996: ...Hmm? This doesn't feel right.
Gao Qiang smiled in disbelief, thinking that this was all Ren Feng's imagination. Maybe he really had a boyfriend, but how could he be so perfect?
"What's that on your head?"
"pet."
Chen Zui: Hmm?
996 almost couldn't help laughing.
Gao Qiang glanced at Chen Zui: "Isn't it distorted?"
"Yes, the tentacles can become longer. Such a small thing doesn't have much attack power." Ren Feng did not choose to lie completely, but told the truth, but only a little truth.
He had a calm attitude, and with that cute little octopus look, he really didn't seem to have any aggressive power, making it easy for people to believe what he said.
They stopped before dark and everyone got together to eat something.
Gao Qiang couldn't wait to make public the fact that Ren Feng liked men and had a boyfriend.
Hu Xue glanced at Gao Qiang, and Gao Qiang chuckled.
Hu Yue lowered her head, hiding the corners of her mouth that were trying to curl up. She originally liked reading pure love novels and comics. Although she didn't know what Ren Feng's boyfriend looked like, her mind had already uncontrollably imagined a petite, cute and exquisite young master.
Tsundere young master x straight man
Hu Yue: I’m going to die!
Afterwards they talked about the little octopus. Everyone thought it was cute because it was so small and lay on Ren Feng's head all day long. There were indeed weak deformed creatures in this world, and not all animals and plants would become very powerful, so they didn't care too much.
When preparing to rest at night, Gao Qiang subconsciously wanted to take off his shirt, but stopped after noticing Ren Feng. He felt awkward being naked in front of him.
Ren Feng was too lazy to care about him.
Gao Qiang lay down in front of him, fully clothed. After a while, he asked, "How did you and your boyfriend meet? I mean, did you know that the other person liked men before you met? Or how did you confirm that?"
Straight men's curiosity in this regard is really presumptuous and abrupt.
Ren Feng pretended to snore and didn't want to respond at all.
Hu Xue was on guard in the car ahead, looking out from time to time.
She took a puff of her cigarette: "Still asleep."
Hu Yue was sewing a very cute little dress in the back with the help of a flashlight.
"Right away."
Hu Xue reached back and tugged at the curtain covering the window behind her: "Let's do it tomorrow. It hurts my eyes."
"It's almost there, it's almost there."
"Two injections."
"alright!"
"Sister, look."
Hu Yue picked up the yellow skirt and said, "That little octopus will look really cute in it."
"Yeah, it looks good."
"Go to sleep."
Hu Yue packed up with satisfaction and went to bed. In the middle of the night, Hu Xue went to call Gao Qiang and asked him to take over the watch.
Gao Qiang hugged her and wanted to kiss her.
Hu Xue glanced at Ren Feng in the back row and said, "Stop messing around."
Gao Qiang was complaining.
Hu Xue lost her patience: "Don't forget our relationship."
Gao Qiang became obedient.
Hu Xue returned to the car in front. She and Gao Qiang were not lovers, but just friends with benefits. Living in such a world was really stressful. It was normal for a woman to find a man to relieve her boredom and release some energy.
Gao Qiang looks good and has a good figure.
That's why Hu Xue chose him. As for falling in love, she had no such intention.
As a man, just have fun.
If you get tired of someone, it's convenient to switch to another one. Otherwise, you have to go through the breakup process in a serious manner.
She had indeed had ulterior motives when inviting Ren Feng to go with her at first, but she immediately gave up the idea after knowing that he liked men.
After all, even in such a world, there are plenty of men, so she won't bother competing with anyone.
Devaluation.
——
Nothing happened overnight.
But Ren Feng didn't expect Gao Qiang to come to him again early in the morning to ask about him and his boyfriend.
"Are you living together?"
"Who's chasing who?"
"How did you catch up?"
Ren Feng: ...
He didn't answer, and the other party kept talking.
"I pursued him. I fell in love with him at first sight. I went straight up to him and kissed him and asked him if he would be my boyfriend."
"He agreed, and we lived together."
After Ren Feng finished speaking, he walked towards the car in front. His foot was a little lame, which slowed down his walking speed.
Chen Zui captured the key words: love at first sight~
Gao Qiang pondered these words.
Ren Feng got into the car in front, and everyone gathered together to have breakfast, each with a small piece of bread.
Chen Zui held the bottle cap and drank water, which attracted the two Hu sisters to look at him frequently.
Hu Yue stuffed the bread into her mouth and patted the crumbs on her hands: "Brother Ren, I made a piece of clothing for Little Octopus, please don't be disgusted."
She took out the little skirt as if she were presenting a treasure.
Ren Feng didn't mind it, and even hoped that the little octopus could wear it, but...
His little octopus has a very bad temper.
Ren Feng looked at the little octopus, and his intuition told him that the little octopus should be a male.
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Zui, especially Hu Yue, whose eyes were full of anticipation.
Of course Chen Zui wouldn't wear a skirt, so he looked at Ren Feng.
Ren Feng understood what he meant: "The clothes look nice, but I'm sorry, the little octopus is a male."
Hu Yue opened her mouth silently. She hadn't considered this at all. "Sorry, sorry."
She put down the little skirt and said, "Then I'll make him a little hat."
Hu Yue was not unhappy at all and had already started to think about what kind of hat to make for the little octopus.
Ren Feng: "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."
The front door suddenly opened from the outside, and Gao Qiang got into the car seriously, staring at Hu Xue.
"Hu Xue, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
If she pouts, I'll kiss her.
Ren Feng only felt that this scene was somewhat similar to the one he described, and then he realized that Gao Qiang was not gossiping, but wanted to gain experience from him.
Oh no…
Hu Xue slapped Gao Qiang in the face and pushed him away: "You are sick."
Gao Qiang looked at Ren Feng innocently.
Ren Feng: ...
——
Gao Qiang, bearing the slap mark, drove the car with a wronged look on his face: "This is completely different from the development you mentioned."
Ren Feng thought he had done nothing wrong, but he just felt inexplicably guilty.
Gao Qiang: "You must not have a boyfriend!"
He held back the slapped face and said, "You'll never find a boyfriend this way."
"Although I was rejected, I will always love Hu Xue. Even if you don't have a boyfriend, don't try to get me. I know I'm good-looking and have a good figure..."
He kept on talking.
The little octopus's big round eyes stared at the back of Gao Qiang's head.
[Find a way to allow my human form and the small octopus form to coexist.]
996: [This...]
Chen Zui: [What else do you expect me, an octopus, to do? Make takoyaki?]
Chen Zui: [It would be strange if the little octopus suddenly disappeared. The best thing is to coexist and cooperate with each other. Listen to me, you won't be wrong. We are now a team.]
996 was persuaded by him: [Okay, I'll arrange it right away.]
996’s points are totally insufficient. There is no other way but to advance them. As long as the world is not destroyed this time, its points will be returned.
996 made up his mind and prepaid a large amount of points.
——
Ren Feng got a gun, which was something he didn't expect. Were these three people's guards too low?
Gao Qiang: "Do you know how to shoot? If not, I can teach you."
After saying that, he quickly added, "That doesn't mean I'm interested in you."
Ren Feng could sense that he had no bad intentions, it was just...
He looked at a monster that appeared in his sight, leaned out of the car window, squinted his eyes and aimed.
After the gunshot, the monster fell to the ground.
Gao Qiang gave him a thumbs up: "Great, great."
The group hurried on their way, and Hu Yue quickly made the little hat.
This time Chen Zui accepted her gift. After putting on the hat, the little octopus became even more adorable.
Hu Yue sighed: "This is simply the existence of a mascot."
Chen Zui thought she was praising herself.
They stopped when they passed several abandoned cars and used the equipment they assembled to extract the diesel from the cars and keep it for backup.
At night they pulled the car over under a tree and pulled the dense branches down, almost completely covering the car.
Ren Feng was in charge of keeping watch in the first half of the night.
Chen Zui gestured toward the car window with his tentacles. Ren Feng glanced at Gao Qiang, who was soundly sleeping in front of him, and whispered to Chen Zui, "Come back soon."
He opened the car window and watched the little octopus disappear into the night.
Chen Zui restored his human form in an uninhabited place, but the little octopus still existed. His thoughts controlled the two bodies, and he was very comfortable and unaffected.
996: [I bought this with a loan of one million points.]
It thought that it had to let Chen Zui know how much it had paid and then cooperate with it.
996: [If the two protagonists in this world don't get along well, I won't be able to gain points, and then I'll be finished.]
It is very humble and can be said to be a desperate gamble.
Chen Zui felt the pleasure of controlling two bodies: [Will the Transmigration Bookstore fire you?]
996: [No, but I will lose my qualification to be a system, and I will be sent to a small world to play the role of a masochist that no host is willing to accept, until I pay off my debt.]
Chen Zui: [You guys at the bookstore are really cruel. You don't even care about old friends like you, an excellent employee.]
996 sighed: [That’s not true…]
Chen Zui: [Working in this kind of place is the hardest. There's no human touch. I couldn't stand it.]
996 fell into deep thought because of Chen Zui's words. He recalled how he had been in the Transmigration Book Bureau for so many years. In the beginning, because the host failed to complete the mission, he was always punished. Although he got better little by little later, but...
Take this time for example, it originally thought that it was just an advance of one million points, and there was no need for such a severe punishment. After all, it had been working diligently in the Chuan Bookstore for so many years.
But the higher-ups refused to give in at all, even saying it didn't understand the rules.
——
Ren Feng lowered the car window. The little octopus was so well behaved to come back so soon.
He pinched the little octopus's big cheek.
Maybe the little octopus just went out to get some fresh air, otherwise he would be bored staying in the car all the time.
After daybreak they continued on their journey. There was nothing interesting about surviving in this world. They had to keep on traveling, living secretly, being attacked by monsters from time to time and escaping death. They didn't have enough to eat, didn't sleep well, and were very bored. It could be said that there was no entertainment at all.
Ren Feng was playing a game of "you push me, I push you" with the little octopus's tentacles.
The other party has eight tentacles, and he has ten fingers.
Gao Qiang stopped the car: "There's a monster."
Ren Feng raised his head and saw a monster of indescribable shape outside. Its body was covered with bumpy flesh balls, and its legs were like two chopsticks, but its claws were long and sharp, shining coldly in the sunlight, and it was grabbing the human next to it at a very fast speed.
Ren Feng's gaze fell on the human.
Unexpected and surprising.
It's him.
Gao Qiang picked up the gun and was about to shoot the monster, but Chen Zui outside suddenly pierced the monster's head with an iron rod in his hand, nailing the monster to the ground, and it twitched twice.
Gao Qiang: "Wow, that's amazing."
Chen Zui turned around and looked at the car, narrowed his eyes, and walked quickly towards the car.
Gao Qiang's gun muzzle followed Chen Zui's movement. Wow, so high. Ha, I've been meeting handsome guys quite frequently recently, and they have great bodies too.
Hopefully he's gay too.
Ren Feng didn't understand why he rolled down the car window, he just did it for some unknown reason.
Chen Zui bent over the car door, reached in with a look of surprise and hugged Ren Feng's head.
"finally found you."
"Boy friend."
As he spoke, he pulled the stunned Ren Feng forward and kissed him on the mouth.
Gao Qiang:!
Ren Feng:!
The Hu sisters in the car behind:!
996:!
