Chapter 104 Doomsday 02 Lover Walking Backwards
The soul mate who had been replaced returned to the bed after a while.
There was a huge distance between the two of them, like the Chu River and Han River.
Jun Mo and Lu Huai turned their backs to each other, as if they were already asleep.
In reality, everyone had their own thoughts and was on guard, having a sleepless night.
The next morning, when it was just light, Jun Mo did not disturb Lu Huai who was lying in bed, and went out with a series of supplies including a wooden warehouse and a crowbar.
Beside the deserted and desolate path, doors and windows were broken, and the glass protecting the interior of the shop had long since peeled off and shattered, with sharp edges reflecting the bloody sun's light.
Weird and decadent.
However, this was the secluded place he had chosen specifically for himself and Lu Huai.
The Southern Base originally covered a vast area, encompassing two cities, Z and X, both of which boasted highly developed economies and transportation, as well as three other cities incorporated as residential areas.
Unfortunately, as the disaster continues to escalate, the pervasive mutant creatures make even the technological civilization built of steel unable to cope, and the complex inner ring has become a huge net that destroys life.
Everyone could only re-mark a piece of wasteland in the suburbs and build a fortress for the end-of-the-world humans from scratch.
Three years have passed since then, and it has taken shape.
The people at the base called the moment of landing the New Year, implying that mankind had finally united and had a home that could defend against natural disasters.
According to this calculation, the Southern Base has entered the third year of the New Era.
The time when Lu Huai arrived and Jun Mo was reborn was not long after people figured out the role of superpowers, which was the early to middle period of the apocalypse.
Therefore, his level is far from reaching the power of climbing mountains and making trouble in the later period. Facing the living dead and mutated plants and animals whose genes are disrupted under high radiation, he can still kill the master with random punches.
Even those with special abilities still need to rely on some external tools to be safer.
The most terrifying thing is that human mutants evolve by devouring crystal cores, and animals and plants also continue to upgrade without bottlenecks in extreme environments, and at an unreasonable speed.
This once made pessimists wonder whether humans were a race abandoned by the world, and that no matter how hard they tried, they could not escape the fate of complete extinction.
In order to take care of his frail "lover", Jun Mo, who could have relied solely on his superior abilities to participate in routine construction, took the initiative to take on the task of leading the collection of supplies for the southern base.
He left home day and night, his journey fraught with danger, all to complete two tasks and raise this beautiful bird.
Lu Huai was able to live comfortably in the distributed attic, waiting for Jun Mo to earn supplies in exchange for meals for two.
But now, Jun Mo doesn't want to pay like this.
Hatred is a deep river between the two of them. Even if Lu Huai didn't kill him now, he had experienced what would happen in the future.
The pain of being devoured and torn apart is endless, as if thousands of ants are gnawing at your heart. What good would it be even if your body were to return to its youthful and strong state?
He understood that only by drawing a clear line between himself and Lu Huai could he do what he wanted, live to witness the dawn, and become a truly free man.
Together with the human race, a race that enjoys fighting against the sky and the earth, we will live forever.
But although his ideals are extremely lofty, he has not even left the southern base yet.
Jun Mo collected his scattered thoughts and bumped into an uninvited guest who came to greet him warmly.
The man in front of him, nicknamed "Skinny Monkey", is just like this. Just like the NPCs that refresh daily, he comes to gossip about him and Lu Huai every day, which is very annoying.
At this moment, he winked and teased, "Brother Jun is so powerful, he went to make canned fruit for our sister-in-law as breakfast early in the morning?"
Jun Mo would usually take this as a sign that they had a good relationship, and occasionally he would even let out some good things.
Unexpectedly, he ran into a snag this time. Jun Mo, contrary to his usual taciturn attitude, said with a cold and serious look:
"Tianci, don't call us that anymore. Lu Huai and I have nothing to do with each other. Not to mention bringing breakfast or something like that."
After hearing the skinny monkey's exclamation of "Ah?! No way!" in disbelief, he emphasized, "There won't be any more in the future."
Although Jun Mo's following words were incomprehensible and it was unclear whether he was talking to him or himself, it was still shocking enough.
Oh my god, this is shocking news that is enough to make the headlines of the base!
The most envied couple in the entire Southern Base is about to end. Just how outrageous a conflict must have been for this to happen? Infidelity, incompatibility, or just boredom?
Skinny Monkey still remembers that because of its outstanding appearance, the canary caused a sensation when it first arrived.
Even with a veil covering his face, when the base said they wanted to verify whether there were any scars left by zombies, Lu Huai could only stand there quietly and let them do it.
A good breeze blew, and her delicate chin and rosy, plump lips were revealed, capturing the hearts of many people.
Because too many people were watching and looking at that place with lustful eyes, Jun Mo was very careful to protect it. He always followed the principle that only a few people around him had contact with Lu Huai.
Normally, he would not even let anyone look at him for a second. Even now, Shouhou is still amazed that there is such deep friendship in such a day and age.
However, it is really outrageous that the captain, a model partner, would say such cold words.
How tactless must that little oriole and little beauty be to do this? The skinny monkey was shocked at this moment. When he turned around, Jun Mo had already driven out to investigate.
He had no choice but to return to his post absentmindedly, looking with disgust at the zombies densely surrounding the wall. He used his gold-based supernatural power to bundle up the few that broke through the defense line, and beat the low-level zombies below into mud.
However, this ability takes a long time to charge up, and after a while he has no other options except using wooden weapons and hand-to-hand combat.
So the scar-faced man who was slacking off beside him slapped his shoulder hard and pushed him behind him.
He said to the skinny monkey, "What's going on, Zhang Tianci? You've unleashed your full strength so early today. Do you want me to take over your shift early?"
He was about to ask for some benefits with a playful smile, but Zhang Tianci put on a serious face and said to him mysteriously: "I got a big piece of news about Captain Jun."
Wang Ji, also known as Scarface, raised an eyebrow and whistled, "Isn't Jun Mo the idiot and the most infatuated guy? What kind of gossip could there be about him? Is he cheating?"
Zhang Tianci leaned close to his ear and whispered for a long time. When Wang Ji understood, he pushed him away and left, shouting that he had to pee urgently.
As a result, despite repeated warnings to keep it secret, Scarface, the big mouth, spread the news to everyone not long after.
When Lu Huai came and couldn't find Jun Mo, he knew very well that as soon as he woke up, he would begin to face the punishment of the world's malice towards the second male lead.
While washing up, he straightened his clothes in front of the mirror and looked at the face that was almost the same as the original world, but also seemed to be similar and not quite the same, with a teardrop mole making it look much worse.
At the end of the world, I still didn't do any rough work. The white and delicate fingers touched my face, as if I had encountered soft jade and warm fragrance.
She had a face like that of her heyday during the most chaotic years. You have to know that this was a period when even celebrities were not worth a dime and were kept in captivity, cannibalized, burned, killed, and looted.
Lu Huai couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Isn't this kind of world a living source of disaster?"
But the source of trouble must also come out to accept criticism.
Only in this way can the "bad taste" and revengeful desire of the protagonist in the early stage of the original plot be satisfied.
"Is this the experience of being punished? This is my first time."
What will happen to abandoned people with dependent personalities who are accustomed to being in captivity after losing the center of the world?
But it is really exciting...
Lu Huai asked himself.
His expression was suitably sad, like a young white rabbit that had not seen much of the world, standing alone, searching everywhere for his lover who must have prepared breakfast for him and greeted him warmly in the morning.
He escaped from the golden cage that was built for him and stumbled to the crowded base headquarters.
Everyone was chatting and doing their work until they saw him, and then they started talking incoherently, as if the sound had been muted.
That one, facing such strange sunlight, was still a beauty who was more stunning than an ordinary person.
A jasmine flower, without any obstruction, exposed to the public eye frankly and generously.
Yellow sand, dust, and escape can obviously make people become rough and haggard.
His skin, however, was still as clear as fresh snow or glass. It was clearly visible that he was a man, yet it was unforgettable.
The worst thing is the embarrassment caused by being stared at, and the blushing face, as if born to be bullied, which makes people's Adam's apple roll and their hearts wander.
A well-intentioned person came up to him hesitantly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Captain Jun's lover?"
Lu Huai obviously hasn't gotten used to this set of rhetoric yet, because in the original plot, the identity of this lover is just in name only, and it is determined by other people and Jun Mo.
In fact, the second male lead does have some selfish motives of his own.
He couldn't figure out whether he liked Jun Mo or not, but he always kept a distance from him.
She only knew that she couldn't live without him, so she followed the protagonist's overly protective desire and stayed indoors, allowing speculation about their relationship to become increasingly outrageous.
Lu Huai didn't know how to deal with others.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded shyly and asked the kind-looking woman in front of him, "Who are you? Do you know where Amo went? I didn't see him this morning."
The woman said in embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, my name is Luo Qixiu, and I am one of the managers of the warehouse department. Captain Jun may have gone out to find food just now... He hasn't come back yet, and he should be back soon..."
Although she had just eaten some gossip and didn't know whether it was true or not, she was still very cautious and respectful towards the person who brought it.
And I have to say, this polite little beauty is so cute and well-behaved, and she can even say "you". Jun Mo would cherish such a little baby instead of her.
But other people don't think so.
At this moment, I don’t know if it was a deliberate provocation, but someone in the distance was making a joke about Lu Huai, and the voice was loud:
"Hey, hey, hey, I heard that Jun-ge is tired of that pretty boy named Lu, and now that powerless guy is in trouble."
After hearing the content related to himself, Lu Huai looked over in surprise with his eyes, which were already covered with a layer of mist.
The people around him slapped the "powerful" Yuan Nu harshly, telling him not to talk nonsense about Jun Mo.
Yuan Nu was originally a well-known troublemaker in the base. It was said that he had killed many good-looking men and women.
Even Jun Mo dared to go against him, so how could he be afraid of him?
Not to mention the push back, he had an angry smile on his face and continued to talk with a few of his younger brothers.
The younger brother secretly asked: "Is it true? She is a beauty. I wonder how powerful she is in bed. Jun Mo is really willing to let her go?"
Yuan was angry. "Tsk, those who like men are all perverts. What kind of nonsense are they thinking about? They just do all sorts of nonsense and their expressions are so vulgar."
The younger brother was not convinced and argued with him, blushing and pointing at Lu Huai in the distance: "If he looked like this, wouldn't I be interested?"
Looking at that place, the man who had been dismissive at first laughed out loud: "Yo!"
They couldn't help but look at Lu Huai, who was filled with shame and anger, and several people immediately fell silent.
Except for one person who reacted, the others were still in a dream.
Yuan Nu blew an obscene whistle and walked straight forward: "That's not impossible. Xiaomei has such a good life, it would be a pity to die. Why don't you follow Grandpa? Anyway, your lover doesn't want you anymore, and I can protect you!"
Seeing Lu Huai's face turn ugly, obviously frightened, he was very interested.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was stopping him, he stepped forward, put his arm around the beauty's shoulders, raised his chin and showed her tenderness.
Just as Luo Qixiu was about to help teach someone a lesson, Lu Huai raised his hand and a streak of ice appeared, nailing Yuan Nu to the wall and preventing him from moving.
He tilted his head and asked, "Have you said enough?"
The few people who were originally complaining, including ordinary people and people with special abilities, were frightened by this seemingly high-level method and almost prostrated themselves to apologize.
"That's enough, my beauty... No, no, good ancestor, good grandfather, this time I was blind and didn't recognize the real man. I said all sorts of nonsense and filthy things. Please don't take them seriously."
As a result, Lu Huai saw that he was remorseful and seemed to want to mend his ways, so he removed his supernatural power and let him go.
Yuan Nu and his little brothers immediately slipped away quickly.
Seeing that he had distanced himself from Lu Huai, he started to speak obscenely again:
"You little bitch, you're just a butt seller, why are you so proud? It doesn't matter who you serve, it's time to build a chastity archway for yourself."
"I don't know how many more tricks like this I can pull off. Next time, I'll wear him down. If he runs out of energy, won't it be easy to take him back?"
Jun Mo had been back for a while and heard almost everything.
He had been hiding in a corner, but now he came out and stepped on the arm of the wailing person, ignoring the person's screams of pain and hitting him hard.
He completely ruined the person, with a sinister look in his eyes.
He whispered, "You were so kind to the bastard who wanted to defile you, but why are you so cruel to me?"
Lu Huai was about to leave when he heard the wailing of the person he had just taught a lesson, and his steps could not help but stop.
In the bustling crowd, looking at his lover's eyes that were looking at him from afar, but only showing anger at others' meanness and vulgarity, but no love for him, Lu Huai seemed to understand something.
He bowed deeply to Jun Mo, and then continued to walk back alone.
It is thin and fragile, like a leaf of duckweed that knows its own fate, swaying and drifting away, making people's eyes sore.
