Chapter 133 Doomsday 30: Appeasement or a Sheep Falling into the Tiger's Mouth
In fact, he should have done so a long time ago.
But Lu Huai stared at his palm, feeling the lingering warmth, and was stunned. He was clearly in disbelief at his own actions.
Jian Sui'an was stunned at first, and then a burning sensation came over him, and the feeling blooming on his face could no longer be ignored.
He also knew in his heart that Lu Huai was really angry with him and had no intention of stopping.
But Jian Sui'an was not angry, and even seemed to be woken up by him.
The whole person suddenly became quiet, holding his head in frustration. He didn't even dare to look at him. The reaction of the person hitting and the person being hit was completely reversed.
But Lu Huai didn't know the reason behind this abnormality.
Lu Huai defended himself in his heart:
Jian Sui'an said too many obscene words today, even exceeding his bottom line, and added some inexplicable actions with strange meanings.
It was really hard for him to imagine that his comrades and brothers, whom he could definitely trust and rely on, would say such intimate words. His mind was filled with garbage that came from nowhere.
This was truly beyond his comprehension, and it reminded him of a sentence and a scene that he had completely disbelieved at the time.
At that time, he was still hesitant, not knowing where to go next, and felt quite lost and helpless.
Mo Chengze caressed his cheek playfully and said to him in a rather intimate tone, "Jian Sui'an and Jiang Fengnian fought over you."
Lu Huai did sometimes feel their extraordinary concern for him.
But he was afraid that this secret speculation would become a thorn in the friendship.
You don’t know how long you will live, and if you continue to worry about these love affairs, you may not even live the last few days of your life comfortably.
But no matter what, it was Lu Huai himself who was being overreacting at this moment.
Furthermore, Jian Sui'an's attitude was so tolerant that he didn't mind at all. He even sighed and frankly admitted his mistake. He lowered his head and looked at him cautiously, uttering a trembling sentence:
"I'm sorry, Ah Huai. I, I went too far. I shouldn't have treated you like this."
His timid look was in stark contrast to his unstoppable look when he was emotional just now.
This man wanted to slap himself twice. This was his most precious pearl. How could he say it so bluntly? He even... shamefully reacted when he was hit.
He felt that Lu Huai probably didn't like others having that kind of thoughts about him. A white hibiscus flower that liked quietness and only opened its petals at night should have its own peace and freedom, and should not be swept away by all kinds of bees and butterflies.
It was just that Jian Sui'an's words sounded nice, and he comforted himself countless times: "He is different from others. He is someone who can stay by his side forever."
And now he has become the bad guy pointing a sharp knife at Lu Huai.
He deserves to die.
But after Lu Huai calmed down, he also reflected on it.
Although Jian Sui'an was impulsive and rude, it was undeniable that what he said made sense, even though it was difficult to say.
He didn't know why there were so many people around him with strange thoughts, and even if he kept refusing, it was still difficult to break free from the arrangement of the dark.
Make him worried.
So he hesitated and asked tentatively: "Does it hurt?"
He even stretched out his hand unconsciously, wanting to feel the injuries he had caused on the other person's face.
Jian Sui'an felt that he was hopeless. He knew how hot-tempered he was, but he didn't feel angry at all because of being slapped.
I even thought about grabbing that hand and covering it with the part of my body that was still hot, and gently caressing it.
He would be willing to do so even if he died.
Lu Huai is actually not lonely inside. His beauty is like the white clouds in the sky, holy and dazzling, but it makes people feel distant and difficult to touch.
But for those he recognizes and those who treat him sincerely, he is willing to offer his warm heart and treat them gently.
So this is why many people sometimes feel the contrast.
It’s just that after the end of the world, he was very cautious in giving his trust, and it was very rare.
But Lu Huai didn't know what Jian Sui'an was thinking. He thought his problem was serious and whispered with a complicated look in his eyes, "I shouldn't hit anyone either."
"It doesn't hurt. This is totally different. My skin is thick and rough, while your hands are so delicate."
Lu Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's tender or rough? Fighting zombies every day, who wouldn't have calluses?"
Jian Sui'an spoke with his handsome face half red, and the effect was really hilarious.
Moreover, this made Lu Huai unable to even remember for a moment the warning that Mo Chengze had said to him in a teasing tone that day.
"By the way, Ah Huai, I have a question. Can I ask you?"
"Well, go ahead."
"Why would he suddenly do this to you?"
Jian Sui'an didn't even want to say the beast's name:
"Is he crazy? This is a crime, an act that deserves damnation!"
Lu Huai was used to it. That was how he was. Once the wound healed, he forgot the pain and became indignant about it again, forgetting where the conflict started.
But normally speaking, Lu Huai wouldn't be so wary of him.
So he revealed some of the information he had gained from their interactions, and perhaps it was his understanding of each other that made him suddenly realize that he and the rising star of the base, "Bloodthirsty Vine" Jun Mo, once had such a deep bond.
Lu Huai replied, thinking of some things in the past, and his toes couldn't help but stand inward. For the first time in a long time, he showed a state of lack of security:
"His ability...is different from other plant-type abilities."
"Well, I know. If Jun Mo hadn't been in such an outrageous state today and had fought me, it's hard to say who would have won."
"Or I'll be honest." Jian Sui'an said bitterly, "To be honest, I don't have much chance of winning."
Jian Sui'an is the type of person who won't turn back until he hits a wall. The reason he said such certain words that he was defeated was because he had seen the other party's performance.
Looking back at the chaos just now, I don’t know if Jun Mo’s rationality suddenly returned, and his counterattack was deliberately paused.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't believe that he knocked the opponent down with just one punch without using any high-energy superpowers.
Perhaps in the original plot, the relationship between Jun Mo and him did not have so many impurities, and only out of pure admiration for strength and the filter could Jian Sui'an be willing to play the role of "little brother".
But rather than describing it this way, it's better to say that they are more like-minded friends. After all, it's not some standard dot-com literature with such a big difference in status.
"Perhaps because its plant ability is a mutation, it has difficulty excreting toxins from time to time, and that's what you see."
"It's my fault too. I haven't been in the same room with Jun Mo for so long that I've forgotten some things I should have remembered."
Jian Sui'an comfortingly placed her palm on the back of Lu Huai's hand that was resting on the sofa, and said to him sincerely: "It's not your fault."
"It's just that you're no longer together. If you don't want him touching you, I think it's better to reduce contact."
"What if one day he does it again? And I'm not here..."
"good."
Lu Huai still felt a little uncomfortable, so he withdrew his wrapped left hand, washed up, went back to his room, and locked himself in the room for the night.
When he felt that he had recovered, he walked over to the extremely lost Jian Sui'an and made peace with him.
In the following days, even though there were rumors that Jun Mo was seriously injured while on duty, Lu Huai did not take the initiative to visit him.
Jun Mo knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't think the other party was so cold-hearted. Furthermore, he had a "severely injured character" and Xiao Zhengze said he wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate some spies hidden deep in the base, so he couldn't act rashly.
Therefore, even the pre-planned efforts to persuade the other party to forgive has become a luxury.
And he didn't expect that this trick of luring the snake out of its hole would really work.
The Meng family's personal guards were captured, and the second-in-command, who had never been involved in these things, was thrown into prison amid everyone's sighs.
Jun Mo didn't know that Xiao Yuan could actually involve Lu Huai in such a difficult matter. Even though he said that this was not a good idea, he still let Lu Huai come to the front with the commander's approval, putting him under the spotlight and negotiating with Meng Jingtang.
The euphemism is, "That person is very stubborn and won't listen to anyone. Only you can help and say a few words."
Lu Huai walked into the passage in the secluded mountain that seemed to eat people.
Compared with the flat floor that seems to have no end at first glance, it is a world of difference.
Seeing the white-haired young man's composure broken by him, his hawk-like eyes looked straight at him. After confirming it was him, he asked in disbelief, "Why is it you?"
"Why not me? Are you surprised?"
Meng Jingtang sneered: "It's not surprising, but they are willing to let you go out, they really spent a lot of money."
Lu Huai didn't want to "reminisce" with him, so he got straight to the point: "What do you want?"
"You've always known what I want."
"At this hour, you still have the heart to talk about this. Aren't you afraid of being 'recorded in history'?"
"Haha, don't you think there aren't enough rumors going around in the base right now?"
"I've dealt with so many inspections lately, I don't even want to tell you."
"The Xiao family is ungrateful. They promised my Meng family, but they haven't fulfilled their promise yet. They are using you as knives to gouge out the flesh of the Meng family bit by bit.
Isn't it good to complement each other and prosper together? Why do you have to sacrifice the interests of my family and do things so decisively? "
Lu Huai looked at the white-haired young man's green eyes which seemed calm but contained madness, and felt that these words, which were taken for granted, were the last struggle after he fell into the devil's barrier.
He tried to wake him up, telling him "you are wrong".
"Tell us what they've been up to and report what your Meng family has been planning. Commander Xiao said he can continue to maintain the Meng family's status quo and won't make any adjustments."
But Lu Huai actually knew that even if he spoke so confidently now, he could not withstand what Meng Jingtang said.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse.
When employing people, we cannot make them divided, and we can only monitor the movements of their seats. What actual actions should be taken is even more difficult to say later.
So the boss is difficult to deal with.
Meng Jingtang tilted his head, his silver hair draped over his pristine white cuffs, and smiled as he said, "Ah Huai, how come you still don't understand? You're so naive."
"You should have married me and stayed out of this."
"It's no use for them to use you as a lobbyist."
"But you can come with me."
Originally, he wanted to say something harsh to Lu Huai, "You can also choose to stay here and wait for death. I won't care about you."
But when the words came to my lips, inexplicably there was only one choice left.
The voice in his heart pointed him in the right direction and told him a stark truth: he couldn't bear to see him die. This was his bird, his treasure, and no one could hurt him.
"We can still have a long future together. It's all in my plan."
But Lu Huai, just like the first time he was suppressed by him, made a gesture of rejection: "There is no need for a long time in the future."
"Since there's no way to continue the conversation, I'll leave first."
"Lu Huai... Lu Huai"
When Meng Jingtang saw that he really turned around, his previous calm appearance was indeed overturned.
The voices calling his name became more and more urgent.
Finally, Lu Huai felt that his thoughts were being invaded, and a familiar feeling came over him.
It was as if his soul and body were separated. He said in his mind that he was going to leave, but in reality he was moving closer in the original direction.
Xiao Yuan gave him an electric shock weapon to suppress the other party's superpowers. As long as he had a trace of rationality left, he could use it to cause pain to the other party and then escape unscathed.
But Lu Huai inexplicably felt a bit rebellious, and he also wanted to see what Meng Jingtang would do to him.
Will she continue to manipulate him like in the original plot line and plant the idea of getting rid of Jun Mo deeply in his mind?
But Meng Jingtang just brought him back to see him. His usually spotless white robe had not been properly maintained in the prison. It seemed to have lost its former luster, and his condition had deteriorated along with his own.
He suddenly pulled Lu Huai over the iron railings and kissed him fiercely on the lips.
"Ugh...let go."
The sounds of flowing water and stirring on the tongue seemed particularly clear in this silent cage, making people blush.
Lu Huai secretly cursed his own curious mentality. Now he didn't even have time to take out the thing.
But I don’t know what the other party was thinking. At this moment, he completely lost his control over Lu Huai.
Lu Huai bit down angrily, his teeth seemed particularly sharp when he was angry. In an instant, blood that did not belong to him flowed out, and the force that was holding him loosened.
He originally thought that there would probably be no disputes in the future, and he wanted to leave after feeling that he had taken revenge.
As a result, Meng Jingtang stubbornly held him back and wouldn't let him go, staring at the blood-stained corner of his mouth with shining eyes.
That looked wrong.
Lu Huai regretted coming here today to argue with him.
And what he saw next proved that his regret was not unreasonable.
Meng Jingtang's cheeks, which were always pale and almost transparent, were now flushed with an unusual blush. He seemed to be savoring something, and with the tip of his tongue, he rolled the blood back into his mouth with great astringency.
"You..." Lu Huai was speechless for a moment, but his panicked eyes, which did not know where to move, caught a glimpse of the young man in the wheelchair who was usually calm but now energetic. His gaze seemed like some special catalyst, deepening someone's strange physical reaction.
Lu Huai finally couldn't bear it anymore, and pushed the weapon against Meng Jingtang's arm. Suddenly, the other party convulsed uncontrollably, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.
He seemed unable to bear to watch, so he closed the object that was causing him pain, ignoring Meng Jingtang's persistent calls despite enduring great pain. He walked out of the prison step by step.
Xiao Yuan, who was guarding the door, saw the icon on his watch showing that the device had been activated. His nervousness and anxiety were not relieved until he saw Lu Huai coming out.
"Is it not going well? Did he hurt you?"
"No."
Xiao Yuan looked him over from head to toe and indeed found nothing wrong with Lu Huai except for a bit of dust on his body. He was only keenly aware that Lu Huai was not in a good mood, so he did not continue to ask.
He knew that today's action was going to be difficult. While eating ice cream, 0359 felt that the good thing was that the former protagonist never put too much pressure on others. He knew what he was doing with every step.
Because there were no unreasonable expectations, Lu Huai was able to calmly give himself the opportunity to digest the situation. This kind of humble attitude after receiving help is exactly what many people, including the one in prison, lack.
The golden finger that appeared in the very late stage was also when the future leader was on a mission.
Under the cover of night, an abandoned nuclear power plant stood quietly in a desolate area, shrouded in an indescribable silence. At this moment, Xiao Yuan quietly arrived here. He was like a master of the power of lightning in nature. After defeating the mutant zombies in junior high school, he felt a mysterious attraction.
Xiao Yuan stood tall and straight, his eyes firm and penetrating. His arrival seemed to breathe a life into this dead place. He wore a simple black windbreaker, which swayed gently in the night breeze, creating a stark contrast with the surroundings. He raised his hands gently, palms facing upward, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with the electricity in the ruins.
As Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes began to flash with a bluish-purple electric light, a symbol of the lightning power within him. He closed his eyes, sensing the electrical fluctuations in the air around him, and a strong desire surged within him. He knew that the dormant energy in these desolate lands was the key to increasing his strength.
Under Xiao Yuan's guidance, the previously dormant electrical energy gradually began to awaken, flowing and converging like invisible rivers across the night sky. Xiao Yuan's body seemed to have become a massive magnetic field, densely flashing lightning weaving into a spherical fortress, enveloping the core of everything.
Outsiders can only see a glaring white.
Xiao Yuan attracted this electrical energy to himself. He opened his arms, palms facing outward, as if welcoming a grand baptism.
As the electrical energy continued to flow in, Xiao Yuan's body began to emit a dazzling light, and his eyes became even brighter, as if they could see through the fog of the night. The electrical energy flowed and merged within his body, interweaving with his lightning power to form an unprecedentedly powerful force.
When the last bit of electrical energy was completely absorbed by Xiao Yuan, he felt that his strength had been improved unprecedentedly, and his control over thunder and lightning had reached a higher level.
He gently dusted himself off, turned and left, his back hidden in the darkness.
The protagonist has gained the capital to fight the Zombie King, so the pace of the plot will naturally change significantly.
Lu Huai saw that the progress bar, which had been motionless for a long time, finally scrolled forward as if it were alms. He probably had an idea of what was happening in the distance.
After all, today, Xiao Yuan went out to the southeast. That place is full of great dangers but also contains huge treasures.
He also knew that in the days to come, Xiao Yuan would use this power to protect everything he cherished and become a true guardian of humanity.
So the statue that stood for a long time in the future witnessed everything he did.
Lu Huai's comment: He turned his ideals into reality through hard work, becoming one of the few successful people. This may be the reason why he was able to become the protagonist.
