Chapter 119 Doomsday 17 Controlling Him to Walk Towards Himself
Because of Xiao Yuan's intimate action, the already small distance between the two people became even narrower.
Lu Huai could almost feel Xiao Yuan's fiery chest, which was burning vigorously and showing abundant vitality.
Energy flowed through that strong body, continuously supplying the operation of the "thunder wall". The zombie scouts who came one after another seemed vulnerable under such a tight defensive fortification.
And those warm hands, with thin calluses from years of military training, firmly helped him block out the shrill sounds from the outside world.
The temperature seemed to be constantly rising, and the moisture on the forehead turned into fine sweat, which looked like diamonds on the smooth jade white.
Lu Huai's eyes suddenly became blurry, because this action seemed a bit like... the way Jun Mo protected him before.
He was a little puzzled in his heart that this "future leader" didn't need to be so dedicated to winning over his subordinates.
There's no need to be like an old hen guarding her own chicks, never leaving their side.
They are not related to each other, and he is not worthy of his watch.
Although Xiao Yuan is very strong, the strength and durability of his supernatural powers are very good, and he is even the undisputed leader of mankind in the later period, only the original protagonist Shou Junmo can be compared with him.
But now is the early to middle stage of the plot. Jun Mo and Xiao Yuan have just met in this life and their friendship is warming up. The appearance of this "divorced husband" male second is just to irritate Jun Mo's eyes and to help Xiao Yuan by the way.
Xiao Yuan has not yet encountered the opportunity to increase the strength of his supernatural power - absorbing part of the energy of the abandoned nuclear power plant.
Now she seems calm and still protecting him, but Lu Huai, who has the plot line as a plug-in, knows that even a psychic close to the fifth level cannot withstand such consumption.
"They're moving back."
Lu Huai noticed that the number of zombie rats that were electrocuted and turned into charcoal when they collided with him was not as many as before. He observed the outside world with the help of the vision leaked out by the dense electric current.
It was not known whether they were instructed by a mysterious force or their instinct to seek profit and avoid harm was awakened, but those brutal invaders changed their previous aggressive posture and showed signs of defeat in the battle with the psychics.
They all returned along the tunnel that had been dug into a huge hollow structure, looking dejected.
So he turned his head to remind Xiao Yuan, wanting to tell him that he didn't need to "protect" him so tightly anymore, and to use less of his supernatural powers so as not to damage his vitality.
But Xiao Yuan was multitasking and didn't sense quickly enough that Lu Huai wanted to turn his head.
so···
When the slightly moist and soft touch accidentally brushed against the most sensitive part of his palm, Xiao Yuan was completely unprepared.
After realizing what was happening, almost every cell in my body fell into a state of trembling alert.
He was completely stunned there, only the ability to launch an attack did not stop working, the rest of his mind and thoughts all drifted away.
Lu Huai's eyes widened, and he obviously felt embarrassed.
She quickly took a step back cautiously, but the silky hair brushed against Xiao Yuan's arm reluctantly, feeling light and itchy.
Obviously there was no such intention, but combined with the panic that broke the silence, and the red mole under the eye that was charming even without a smile.
It was as if this immortal who was not tainted by the worldly affairs was controlled, seduced and retained by his inner demons, and even Xiao Yuan, the most self-reliant and rational man, was almost deceived by the illusion and lost his vigilance.
He became the wishful thinking King Xiang.
In this battle against the zombie rats, Jun Mo's supernatural powers were not very suitable, and could even be considered a disadvantage.
Although his attack range is large, all the damage he receives will be transmitted to his body through the symbiote Xiao Cui. It can almost be said that he hurts the enemy by a thousand but hurts himself by eight hundred.
He had fought against similar mutant rodents before, and he could never forget the tragic situation at that time.
He had not yet been assigned to the psychic team and was originally hesitant about whether to come.
Xiao Yuan would not force his guest, so he naturally planned to go to support him with his team, and had no intention of forcing him.
However, when Jun Mo heard the people from Meng Jingtang anxiously looking for Lu Huai, he panicked.
He didn't even dare to gamble on the slightest possibility, and was ready to find and bring back the treasure that had been lost due to his confusion under his wings during the confrontation. However, he didn't expect that Lu Huai would actually appear in this dangerous place.
Jun Mo fought with a stern face, but he still did the same thing that he had despised when he was just reborn - doing his best to transfer all the survivors who could be rescued to a safer place.
But when I saw countless gray and black threats running towards that familiar figure, I felt like my heart skipped a beat.
Until, his brain worked faster than he thought, and regardless of the risk of being eaten up, he stretched out his split vines.
Then he saw Xiao Yuan, whom he knew even if he turned into ashes and who could be considered a good friend in both his past and present lives, hurried over.
Before he could, he fought off the mutant and embraced the fragile white figure as if he were embracing a cloud.
"Lu Huai!"
Jun Mo's call paused on his lips. He was not sure whether Lu Huai saw him.
Because the dense network woven by lightning has been intricately interwoven into a whole, firmly protecting the two people who are in an intimate posture.
But what about Xiao Yuan?
Xiao Yuan clearly made eye contact with his "Xiao Cui" - a few days ago, he was curious about the mechanism of his supernatural powers and shook hands with the plant. How come it was like a complete stranger to her now, leaving no trace in his mind at all?
The frustration of being overtaken and the anger of being betrayed were like a torrent that broke through a riverbank. Jun Mo was caught off guard and dodged the attack too late, allowing the zombie rat to tear off a piece of vine.
His face was as pale as paper. He controlled his spirit to deal with the situation. Finally, when the situation turned around, he only saw Xiao Yuan asking Lu Huai about his well-being. Lu Huai did not show any sign of rejection.
His own appearance was disheveled and miserable, reflected in the puddle formed by the confluence of blood, like a wanderer drifting in the bleak autumn wind.
Lost my home forever.
-------------------------------------
On the way to escort Lu Huai back, Xiao Yuan and Lu Huai both checked their current conditions.
Lu Huai's white coat was inevitably stained with blood.
In order to prevent infection, Xiao Yuan asked him to take off his coat, but it felt a little chilly in the evening breeze.
Before Lu Huai showed any signs of being cold, Xiao Yuan thoughtfully lent him a coat from a resident in the central district.
Lu Huai asked him gratefully: "Thank you, should I return it directly to Auntie next time, or..."
Xiao Yuan smiled and waved his hand. His handsome face, which was in line with Chinese aesthetics, looked as bright as the sun. "This is what I left behind when I stayed overnight last time. I like black coats; they don't get dirty very well."
Lu Huai's originally tense heart seemed to relax a little: "Then I will give it back to you next time"
"Okay, let's talk when it's convenient for you."
But as the time got closer, Lu Huai even smiled bitterly, wondering if he had developed PTSD about returning to the church.
Xiao Yuan waved goodbye to him, and he faced the complicated gazes of the garrison alone.
It seems that everyone knows that he ran to the outer district today...
But he had nowhere to go, and his dormitory had not been repaired, so he had to live with others.
Just now, when he was with Xiao Yuan, a person he was not very familiar with, he was able to handle it with ease.
As soon as I came in, my whole mood became depressed, like a stone slowly rolling to the bottom of the valley.
Meng Jingtang protected him too well...he could hardly tolerate him going through any hardship.
His kindness and gentleness were all fake.
Lu Huai had seen how he dealt with enemies or traitors. His smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, but the words he spoke could send people into hell.
He has the power of life and death and can eliminate dissidents without any effort.
As for Meng Jingtang, there was no one left by his side, leaving only the two of them facing each other. The atmosphere was solemn because of this conflict.
His eyes locked on the coat that clearly didn't match his style, the white-haired young man finally spoke: "Ahuai, where were you today?"
“Why didn’t you reply to my message?”
His tone was quite helpless, yet it was almost indistinguishable from the truth in its gentleness: "I've always been extremely worried about you, you know that?"
But Lu Huai still felt that a mysterious force was controlling him, constantly reinforcing the suggestion of "trusting the other party".
"I know, but I just want..."
Meng Jingtang interrupted him: "You are my assistant. No matter what, you should at least tell me the current situation."
Looking at Lu Huai's eyes that were still as calm as before, he suddenly realized that even if he explained the interests in detail, he would not necessarily get more attention from him.
And when Xiao Yuan sent him back today, Lu Huai was smiling, and his eyes were so soft.
His worries were all about his bird, his treasure. He didn't care about him at all, not only disregarding his own safety, but also giving Xiao Yuan, that kid, a chance to "save the beauty", and through this, he didn't know what he had instilled in him along the way.
He was wearing Xiao Yuan's cloak, which was stained with a scent that did not belong to him.
For the first time, Meng Jingtang's expression looked so gloomy.
The usual pretense had become the norm, and no one had noticed that this gentle young man with white hair had a mouth that naturally turned downwards, making him look so serious when he was not smiling.
Lu Huai pretended to be controlled by him, and he was so obedient that it was hard to describe. He was just like a puppet that had lost its soul.
The force attacking the barrier was a little weaker, as if it still wanted him to retain his original rationality, but on the other hand it was trying its best to induce and persuade him to do things that he would never do before.
For example, walk to Meng Jingtang and then slowly take a step forward.
And she "boldly" sat on his insensitive thigh, her obsidian eyes reflecting the other's face, as clear as a slightly ink-stained lake.
Lu Huai looked like a lamb offering its upper body, while the person below, as the instigator of everything, did not have such a clear experience.
Due to his physical defects, this contact could not bring him the same intimacy as other people, nor could it satisfy him.
But Lu Huai didn't seem to have taken the initiative to contact others like that. Although his face looked normal due to the manipulation, red still rippled on his cheeks.
This genuine emotion that arose from himself actually made Meng Jingtang feel happy.
Lu Huai also found that his arms were hooked by an invisible force, and he wrapped his arms around the other person's neck intimately. Meng Jingtang also used his palm to lift his waist, allowing him to sit more stably.
He didn't dare to act rashly and could only obey the other party, even though the man's hot breath sprayed on his sensitive flesh, even though such an action was extremely torturous.
Lu Huai knew that the original plot described this hidden boss as:
"A puppeteer who does things flawlessly"
In the previous life, the grudge between Jun Mo and Lu Huai was also caused by each other. He became a chess piece in the other party's chess game and completed his mission, but in this life he has to bear the consequences of his previous life.
Meng Jingtang truly won the battle without bloodshed.
Therefore, he had to behave as he wished in front of such a fox, even though in the original plot line, Lu Huai in this life entered the other party's field of vision only later.
He sat up a little, as if deliberately feeling insecure.
Perhaps it was because it was too unexpected, or because the other party's part closer to the torso was more sensitive, but Lu Huai saw that Meng Jingtang's usually clear eyes seemed to be a little hazy due to the collision between their bodies.
If his identity is not mentioned, he looks so weak as if he has been bullied, perfectly fulfilling the image of a pretty boy in Lu Huai's eyes.
Such pure love...but that's all...
Huh?!
Lu Huai's heart, which had been confident of victory, suddenly sank. He happened to hear the other party's hoarse voice say to him: "Help me!"
"Good Ah Huai"
······
After enduring such tremendous mental torture, Lu Huai floated into the house like a ghost, ready to take a shower and go to bed, just like a rag doll that had been trampled upon and put aside.
Surprisingly, this time it is no longer "Life is always ups and downs..."
There are really exciting things happening.
As he was waiting repeatedly in his consciousness, a cute and familiar little ball suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
0359, it was actually released back
The little system felt very aggrieved: "Huaihuai, I...I miss you!!!"
"The company is bad, that old bastard of the Lord God @##￥%"
Perhaps some words that were unfavorable to a certain upper class were detected, and Lu Huai's ears were filled with garbled "koukou" sounds.
There was not a single complaint to be heard, and only the occasional information revealed in the chatter could be barely captured and pieced together.
It means "it has been updated long ago"
In terms of the punishment world, the company arranged for him the most remote one - an S-level world where the plot line has always been as difficult to straighten out as if it had gone crazy. Previously, he had not been allowed to accompany the system, and it was also to evaluate whether the company had the potential to continue employing him.
It was released only after the plot had progressed enough.
In Lu Huai's interpretation, it basically means "a machine that was almost scrapped was found to still have room for use" and was reluctantly picked up.
"Xiaojiu, I miss you too!"
Lu Huai hesitated for a moment. He had a lot to say to 0359.
As an actor in the main world, he is eloquent and easygoing.
Those years were so far away that it actually made him feel like there was a thick barrier between them... For the first time, he felt that "a mask worn for too long becomes difficult to tear off."
Even if it is torn off, it will leave a bloody mark. He is probably in this state now.
But maybe it was because he hadn't had anyone to share his situation with for too long, but he couldn't open his mouth for a while.
It is rare that he showed shyness and embarrassment in front of the other person.
In the end, he did not mention the hardships he had experienced during this period. He just rubbed 0359's round head in a familiar yet unfamiliar way, feeling the warmth of the other rubbing against him.
0359 blinked her big watery eyes and asked Lu Huai: "Huai Huai, have you suffered a lot in this world? This is such a disgusting punishment world... I just saw your appearance in the outside world, and it seems that you have lost a lot of weight..."
As if it sensed Lu Huai's silent but depressed mood, it put its face on Lu Huai's shoulder and stopped "nagging".
For a moment, he showed an unprecedented calmness.
After a while, 0359 seemed to have thought of something and flew in front of Lu Huai, looking up and asking him, sharing as if he was reading a menu: "Huai Huai, I have upgraded some functions, including basic prediction, perspective switching, a one-time replay and reshaping that consumes points, and core fragment exchange in the system store..."
Core fragment exchange?
Lu Huai immediately noticed this point, so he asked, "Xiaojiu, can you show me the exchange interface?"
0359 was operated quickly, and the problem of constant lag seemed to have been solved, and everything went smoothly.
But it seems to prove something - it's not that it can't be done well, but that the Samsara Company didn't want to do it well at all.
Lu Huai asked something related to the mission: "Xiao Jiu, can you help me see the extent of the current world's collapse, the degree of ooc of the character design, and the progress of the plot?"
