Chapter 128 How Can You Like Someone Else?
As soon as the words came out, eight pairs of eyes looked at Scarlett.
Each pair of eyes is extremely beautiful, with different colors, shining like glass.
Scarlett's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.
To prevent Zerg sneak attacks, everyone sat very close together, surrounding Scarlett with their shoulders touching.
Scarlett was inevitably a little nervous at such a close distance. Her tongue was tied and she stumbled over her words, "I-I think we're all thinking in the wrong direction. The snow beetle led me under the ice twice, and the ore appeared under the ice both times. Is it possible that the ore was under the ice all along? It has nothing to do with the Zerg. This was just an accident."
Riley's eyes flashed, "That's possible."
Holst then chimed in: "We can try this direction."
Chi Ye was already unhappy that Mo Ting and the others were using Scarlett as bait, and now that Scarlett had proposed another idea, he couldn't wait to agree: "Yes, Scarlett is right."
Ashley has not experienced this incident and has not commented yet.
Sylvia believed in Scarlett unconditionally. "There are so many of us anyway, it won't be difficult to dig down and take a look."
Brian glanced at Sevilla, frowned, and said in a bad tone: "I don't care."
Dzeko stood up and said, "Let's try it now."
Everyone believed Scarlett, except Mo Ting who had not expressed his opinion.
Mo Ting sneered, his contempt spreading around everyone. Just when everyone thought he was going to refuse, he took out a shovel from his space and said arrogantly, "Let's try it."
Everyone: “…”
Not buddy.
You are so proactive.
There are eight people, it is impossible for all of them to shovel snow here, and one person has to stay to protect Scarlett.
Scarlett had already taken out her shovel, but when she heard that someone had to protect herself, she was stunned. "Can't I dig together?"
Mo Ting glanced at her and said, "I don't need you."
Scarlett was silent.
Look down on someone!
The snow beetles crawled up from the ground, and Scarlett was safest in the air.
So everyone turned their attention to Brian.
The corners of Brian's mouth twitched, and he put on an unhappy expression, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
You don’t have to work, you can be lazy, hehe.
He dropped the shovel and walked towards Scarlett. Just as he was about to pick her up, a voice came from behind him: "Remember to use your special ability."
Brian's brows jumped and he turned to look at Dzeko.
Zheke said calmly, "There are many Zerg tribes, and the Snow Beetle is just one of them. Using superpowers is the safest."
Scarlett tilted her head and asked, "What is your ability?"
"Rally the flock."
Brian said as he picked up Scarlett and carried her into the air.
It was very fast, like an arrow piercing the clouds, and reached the clouds in the blink of an eye.
He flipped his hand to gather clouds, making the silky clouds feel real, as soft and fluffy as cotton candy. It felt soft when stepped on, but it would not fall.
"Really? Is it really possible? I won't fall?"
Brian wanted to put Scarlett on the cloud, but Scarlett was a little scared and hugged his neck and refused to let go.
Brian looked at her nervous little face. His dark brown eyes were glittering and as soft as clouds. He lowered his voice and said, "Believe me."
"Okay, okay."
Scarlett took a step forward and stepped hard on the clouds to confirm that they were real and that she would not step on air. Then she stepped on them and slowly let go.
Stepping into the clouds, Scarlett's courage suddenly grew. She lay on the edge of the clouds and overlooked the snow-capped mountains below.
Those towering snow-capped mountains became much smaller, and only a small triangular peak appeared in the vast expanse of white snow.
Sevilla and the others were like ants. If it weren't for their shadows reflected in the snow, she would almost not be able to find them.
The Zerg not only has bugs that can dig holes, but also bugs that can fly.
The moment he put Scarlett down, Brian looked up at the sky that was within reach and let out a high-pitched bird song.
As soon as the sound was made, a flock of birds responded immediately.
It happens one after another and becomes more and more serious.
Not long.
Flocks of snow petrels flew over.
The whole body is snow-white, petite and cute.
They surrounded the clouds, hiding Scarlett's figure and breath.
Whenever Scarlett moved, they followed, changing their formation according to Scarlett's movements.
With the cover of the snow shearwater, Scarlett felt very comfortable staying in the clouds, sitting and lying down, occasionally whistling and humming a song.
The space surrounded by the snow shearwaters was relatively dim, which was a bit attractive to Scarlett, who had always been in a bright light state. Unconsciously, her eyelids were fighting and kept closing, and her consciousness was invaded by fatigue at this moment, and she was drowsy.
The clouds around me moved.
A figure lay beside her.
She turned her head and saw Brian's face so close to her. She was stunned and was about to step back.
Brian suddenly asked her, "Scarlett, why do you like Holst?"
Um?
Perhaps because she was too sleepy, Scarlett was a little confused and replied a little late: "He is amazing."
SSS grade, there are less than ten in the entire empire.
"Then why do you like Chiye?"
"He's also very capable and can protect me."
"What about Sevilla? He's A-level, the worst among the eight of us. Why did you choose him first?"
Scarlett thought about it and said, "He likes me and treats me well."
"So, you don't like them, right? It's just because they're powerful, can protect you, and treat you well. In other words, as long as they treat you well and can protect you, you'll choose them, right?"
Brian's words hit the nail on the head, more precise than a scalpel.
Scarlett was startled, and her scattered consciousness suddenly returned. Her light golden pupils flashed with light and stared at Brian.
Brian pulled his lips into a smile, his eyes shrewd, "Scarlett, I know how you could like someone. You only value their abilities and don't like them at all."
Brian turned forward, his hands on Scarlett's sides, his eyes fixed on her face, "Scarlett, if I treat you well too, will you choose me next?"
Scarlett opened her eyes and said "Hmm?" in confusion.
The second half of Brian's sentence was completely inconsistent with the first half. She thought she would be blamed, but she didn't expect to get a request for peace.
A bit strange.
Seeing that Scarlett remained silent for a long time, Brian's patience was about to run out. He looked at Scarlett's stunned face and suddenly felt that his behavior was a little ridiculous.
I'm too impulsive. How can I expose my weaknesses to others?
Especially when the other person is Scarlett.
She is so irritable, how can she reconcile easily?
Brian lay back down, opened his eyes, and stared at the snowy petrel's pristine white feathers. He said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not in love with you. It's just that when I returned to our home planet, the Queen Mother said that our marriage is an alliance and divorce is not an easy task. Since divorce is not an option, I don't want to make my life miserable, with constant calls for war and killing. From now on, I will be more careful with my words and actions and won't scold or provoke you."
"Don't touch me anymore. You have a heavy hand and it hurts."
Hearing this, Scarlett finally understood.
Brian is appealing because he feels he was too harsh.
She turned to look at Brian and said seriously, "Don't worry, I won't hit you again."
Before Brian had time to be happy, the snowy shearwater's pure white feathers suddenly trembled, as if stimulated by something. It screamed, flapped its wings, and flew away in all directions.
Above the clouds, bright light reappeared all around, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
Under the clouds.
A powerful force shattered the clouds, dispersing them before Brian's eyes.
As the clouds dispersed, Scarlett felt empty and fell rapidly.
"Scarlett!"
Brian tried to catch Scarlett, but it was too late, she was falling too fast!
His heart trembled, and he turned over quickly, falling with Scarlett without even spreading his wings.
