Chapter 129 Becoming a Fool
Chu Xihen and his four companions, plus a little white tiger, were politely invited by Hao Ren into the reception room upstairs.
Someone made tea for them and left the room, leaving Hao Ren with only a man and a woman.
The woman was probably in her early thirties, the Mu Yue he had just called, a wood-attributed mutant. The other was a man with a baby face, and it was hard to tell his real age.
"How did you fall from the sky?" asked Hao Ren.
He was very excited to see Lou Su, and it was like meeting an old friend whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Lou Su also had the same feeling. After all, Hao Ren was the first person to fight alongside Lou Su after the end of the world.
"When Lingyao was taking us to fly over the big banyan tree, we were attacked by it." No matter how intimate it was, Cain had to keep it secret.
The coordinates of Chu Xihen from more than ten hours ago are now hanging in the sky. He will not expose himself until he is sure of Hao Ren's attitude.
While Lou Su was speaking, Chu Xichi and the other two were listening silently. They knew better than anyone what had just happened and of course they knew that Lou Su was lying.
"No wonder, that big banyan tree is very strong. I brought people here to guard it when I came back from Chuan City. Mu Yue said that it has also evolved a toxin. Anyone injured by it will have the toxin instantly enter the brain nerves and cause damage, and then turn the person into... a fool." After Hao Ren finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the little white tiger in Chu Xi's arms.
The little white tiger was too obedient in Chu Xi's embrace. Its little paws pressed on her arm, and its big eyes were clean and clear. It was impossible to tell that it had any human intelligence at all.
"Then do I have to hold it like this forever?" Chu Xixi lifted up the little white tiger and couldn't help but lean over to kiss it on the head.
"You don't look sad at all, and it seems like you're having a hard time holding back your laughter," Lou Su complained.
Chu Xichi was exposed and stopped pretending. He laughed foolishly and said to Chu Xichen, "Don't worry, brother. I will be responsible for Xiao Lingyao. I will take care of it from now on!"
After she finished speaking, she put the little white tiger on her legs again and stretched out her fingers to tease it. The little white tiger knew nothing and instinctively stretched out its pink little tongue to lick her fingers.
Gu Xingxie, who was sitting next to her, unconsciously leaned towards Chu Xihen. He whispered to Chu Xihen, "She really looks like a pervert."
"Be more confident and remove the word 'like'." It was Lou Su who answered Gu Xingxie.
Chu Xichi heard it, but with the little white tiger in her hand, she seemed to own the whole world and didn't care about their ridicule at all.
If it were any other time, Chu Xi would have given Gu Xingxie a beating for what he said.
"By the way, Mr. Hao, were those people at the airport rescued later?" Lou Su didn't want Hao Ren to focus on their team, so he changed the subject.
Hao Ren sighed, "They were rescued, and the plane had already entered the city of Beijing, but they were still attacked by aliens, and in the end no one survived."
As soon as the end of the world came, he rushed to save people, but in the end it was all in vain.
"Captain, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault." said Mu Yue who was sitting next to him.
She has a gentle voice, and her words seem to soothe people.
Fang Yuan also said: "Yes, Captain, even if those people were rescued and brought back to the base, they might not be able to get out of the first instance alive."
This was something Hao Ren couldn't understand. "Why do we have to enter a dungeon when it's the end of the world? They really look down on us, the insignificant humans."
"What do you mean by the big base?" Chu Xihen, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
Only then did Hao Ren take a look at Chu Xihen. Chu Xihen's appearance should not be ignored no matter where he was, but he still didn't dare to recognize him.
"This is the Chu whom you were willing to exhaust all your energy to save... Chu what's that? Sorry, I can't remember your name." Hao Ren scratched the back of his head as he spoke. He didn't mean to disdain Chu Xihen, but he really couldn't remember.
After the end of the world comes, we are in trouble every day. How can we remember all the people who have nothing to do with us?
"Chu Xihen." Lou Su said Chu Xihen's name.
"Yes, yes, that's the name. It's a little hard to pronounce, but it still sounds nice." Hao Ren explained to Chu Xihen about the big base. "It was a shelter built by the superpowers in Beijing at the beginning of the apocalypse. But now everyone living in it has become a superpower. It's better to call it a superpower home than a big base!"
"It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer people inside. Every time a copy is opened, a lot of people are reduced. Now there are only tens of thousands of people left." When Hao Ren said this, his eyes were full of sadness.
Just like his name, he is truly a good man who serves his country and his people. It's a pity that a kind heart alone cannot protect all of humanity.
Speaking of dungeons, Hao Ren looked at Lou Su again, "How did you pass the fourth dungeon?"
When he asked this question, Mu Yue and Fang Yuan couldn't help but stare at Lou Su and his teammates beside him.
Even though one teammate has turned into a meowing white tiger, they are indeed a full team of five!
The fourth copy was integrated with reality, which they had never encountered in the infinite game before. Even though the three of them were survivors of the game, they finally passed it after losing two teammates.
And Lou Su is not a survivor of the game, but the team he led was able to pass the level without any damage. Hao Ren and his friends wanted to learn from him, maybe it can be useful in the next dungeon.
"Just follow the rules step by step, and finally kill all the aliens to pass the level." Lou Su said casually.
He definitely has no intention of showing off how amazing his wife is!
"We did the same, but in the end there were too many aliens. Several teams were killed or injured, and we also lost two teammates. Fortunately, we were awarded a lot of points in the end." After losing two teammates, Hao Ren blamed himself so much that he wanted to die. He sat there for the whole night and had just closed his eyes and fell asleep when Lou Su and the others fell from the sky.
"My condolences." Lou Su didn't know what to say.
At this time, there was a hurried knock on the door. Fang Yuan stood up to open the door. A superpower said outside the door: "Captain Hao, it's not good. Chen San is taking his teammates to hunt down the time thief!"
Chu Xihen and others: "?"
Hao Ren stood up from the sofa in shock, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on them? Why did you let them get away?"
The superpower complained, "I couldn't beat him in the first place, and it was the White Tiger that fell and broke the shield that Brother Fang had made. They took advantage of the chaos and ran away. I just discovered it!"
"Forget it. It's hard to persuade these damned ghosts with kind words. Since they are tired of living, let them die!" Hao Ren said angrily.
When the superpower heard what Hao Ren said, he apologized subconsciously: "I'm sorry, Captain Hao, I didn't think highly of them. You stopped them for their own good, but they just wouldn't listen."
"It's okay, you can go down!" Hao Ren waved his hand.
After the psychic left, Hao Ren immediately ordered Fang Yuan, "Go and reinforce another layer of defense, in case there are still people who are not in their right mind and want to escape."
"Okay." Fang Yuan responded and was about to leave.
Lou Su stood up at this time and said, "Mr. Hao, we are really sorry for damaging your shield and the ground. We have other things to do, so we won't disturb you anymore."
Hao Ren was slightly stunned, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Lou Su: "You guys don't want to hunt down the time thief too, do you?"
