083:
The not-so-bright light fell into Ji Congwu's open eyes, pulling his eyelashes into a fragile arc.
However, his eyes were bottomlessly cold and devoid of emotion.
Xu Qin's pupils shrank.
He subconsciously stopped the movement that was originally intended to help Ji Congwu.
Obviously extremely weak.
His intuition sensed a chilling danger.
Ji Congwu sat up with his hands on the ground, his eyes falling on his right hand. As he stood up, the tip of the dagger trembled slightly.
His pale face was clearly visible on the shiny blade.
Then he turned his gaze upwards and met Sang Luo's expressionless face.
After a few seconds of silence, he pulled out the dagger gracefully and spoke calmly.
The voice was dry and hoarse, and it was directed at Xu Qin.
"Excuse me, my girlfriend's way of waking me up is a little special."
After he finished speaking, he supported himself on the ground again and stood up steadily.
The blood on his body seemed to have indeed drained out - Xu Qin also changed him into a I-shaped vest - and there was no blood stain on the wound where the dagger was pulled out.
The dagger was also clean without any bloodstains.
Xu Qin: “…”
He put on his expression, turned around awkwardly, took a bottle of water and handed it to Ji Congwu: "Drink some water first."
Ji Congwu took a look at it, took it, unscrewed it, and drank it.
His pale face looked better.
Xu Qin thought he must be hungry too. When he was about to get some bread and instant noodles, Sang Luo said, "Let's go." and walked out directly.
Ji Congwu followed.
Xu Qin paused, turned off the light bulb switch, and turned on the flashlight.
"Be careful of traps," he warned.
Sang Luo stopped immediately and moved aside, apparently to let Xu Qin clear the way.
“…”Xu Qin walked to the front.
As she turned sideways, the distance between her and Ji Congwu became closer.
Soon, Ji Congwuweisha's voice sounded above his head: "Don't you want the dagger anymore?"
“Why would we return dirty things?”
Xu Qin, who never gossips: Are you saying that Ji Congwu is not dirty?
Ji Congwu leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice to Sang Luo's ear: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you with it?"
"Why are you getting more and more stupid?" Sang Luo glanced at him lightly, his tone was flat, not very lethal, but extremely insulting.
Then he turned around and moved forward.
The villain's slender fingers stroked the hilt of the knife again and again, looking at Sang Luo with a cold and deep look.
Then he curled the corners of his lips and lifted his long legs to follow.
Xu Qin did not remove the trap. He fiddled with it and signaled the two people behind him to follow him and avoid the trap.
A few minutes later, the three men left the dark sewer passage.
It was quiet outside.
There were many dark marks on the surface of the armored vehicle, and some minced meat was hanging on the corners.
It's not hard to imagine that these were left behind by the wave of zombies that appeared last night—the zombies were crawling around the armored vehicle, circling and scratching around.
Xu Qin dug out the crystal cores that he didn't have time to dig out last night from the corpses of the zombies.
While he was doing this, Sang Luo and Ji Congwu stood aside, and he ignored them.
He finally figured it out.
These two did not need his care.
Especially Ji Congwu.
After he was forced to wake up, apart from his pale complexion, there was no sign of any injury on his face.
——You have to know that with the injuries that Ji Congwu had, it would be difficult for anyone to survive.
Of course, he was paying attention to the two of them while digging the crystal core.
If a fight broke out - his intuition told him that it was Sang Luo who was beating him unilaterally - he could stop it.
As a result, the two men stood there for as long as he dug the crystal core, and neither side said a word.
Thinking about Sang Luo's ruthless attitude towards Ji Congwu.
From this analysis, Ji Congwu is most likely her mortal enemy or something like that.
However, compared with Ji Congwu's attitude towards Sang Luo, it is somewhat intriguing.
He didn't seem angry at Sang Luo's treatment of him. Instead, it was like a boyfriend showing pampering and helplessness towards his girlfriend.
……etc.
Could it be the ex-boyfriend?
An ex-boyfriend is not considered a boyfriend, which confirms Sang Luo’s denial.
The more Xu Qin thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
He didn't even realize that his speculation about the relationship between the two was quite gossipy.
As the captain of a team, Xu Qin doesn't like to explore others.
Helplessly, I was trapped in the field alone for half a month, all my teammates were killed, and there was no one to communicate with.
He also knew that the master of the domain was in the dark and his life was not in his own hands.
When you finally meet a living person, you can't help but think more about them.
In fact, if he had not met Sang Luo and knew that someone had entered the institute, he would probably rush into the dangerous institute.
But since he met Sang Luo and later saved Ji Congwu, he naturally did not intend to enter the research institute easily.
In his opinion, entering the institute means death.
He is not the kind of foolish person who wants to complete the task without knowing his own ability. Blind death is useless. Only life has infinite possibilities.
The most urgent thing is to find a way to leave this place or break the domain.
In the past half month, Xu Qin only explored the scope of the territory and did not explore every inch of the territory.
He divided the territory into four directions: east, south, west and north, with the place he found as the center.
The research institute is in the south. Apart from the research institute, he has explored this direction, including the east, and has searched everything that can be searched.
There is no additional gain.
After explaining the situation to the two of them, Xu Qin told them his next plan, which was to continue forward along the path they had explored and explore the remaining areas.
By the way, search for useful supplies.
He searched the east and south directions and found quite a few supermarkets, convenience stores, fruit and vegetable stores, etc.
Unfortunately, even now that the end of the world has arrived, no one knows when it will be included in the domain.
In short, most of the things inside were either looted by previous survivors, and the rest were either rotten and inedible, or destroyed by monster zombies.
Xu Qin moved all the food and drinks into the underground stone house, and the total amount was not much.
There are quite a lot of other useful things such as quilts, clothes, hardware, weapons, etc.
In order to save ammunition, he would make some weapons with considerable lethality based on what he looted.
For example, nail bombs.
Once thrown out, the effect is comparable to that of a grenade.
Therefore, over the past long time, even though I kill a lot of monsters and zombies every day when I go out, I not only have no shortage of ammunition, but I have also added a lot of it.
Sang Luo had a gun, and Ji Congwu only had the dagger that stabbed him.
Since both of them agreed to explore with him, Xu Qin generously opened the weapons reserve on the armored vehicle and let them choose for themselves.
Then he got in the driver's seat and drove.
Sang Luo sat on the hard seat in the back row and bent down to take out a sickle from a box.
He turned his wrist as if trying out the feel, his expression showing considerable interest.
Ji Congwu sat opposite her, watching her actions without moving from beginning to end.
It was not until Sang Luo replaced the axe with a shiny new one that he finally fixed his eyes on it and said almost gently, "It suits your temperament very well."
Xu Qin, who was driving, didn't intend to pay attention to the back, but he paid attention uncontrollably.
Hearing Ji Congwu speaking in a praising tone, I inexplicably got goosebumps.
I couldn't help but look through the rearview mirror, wanting to see what Sang Luo had chosen that would make Ji Congwu say that.
After seeing clearly that it was an axe, he silently withdrew his gaze.
Saying that the axe suits Sang Luo's temperament doesn't sound like a compliment at all...
Sang Luo's slender white fingers gently stroked the axe blade, raised his eyes to look at Ji Congwu, and said in the same gentle tone:
"Put your neck closer, I'll try to see if it's fast."
Ji Congwu subconsciously leaned back, his back against the hard car wall.
"A Luo's vision has always been good, there's no need to try." He said slowly.
He considered whether to go to the passenger seat, because there was a high possibility that she would bring down an axe on him without warning at some point.
He looked at Sang Luo and saw a familiar half-smile on his face because of his actions.
Ji Congwu once again came to the conclusion: she and he were indeed of the same kind.
There was one thing Ji Congwu said that couldn't be more true - he was indeed chasing after Sang Luo.
As for the reason.
Probably trying to figure out what she was going to do.
He guessed that Sang Luo's destination was the research institute, so he went there first.
The existence of the domain caused him to lose his special abilities, and then zombies and monsters swarmed everywhere.
…
Now that he had met Sang Luo by chance, Ji Congwu simply took advantage of this opportunity.
——Since I can’t kill her, I’ll just turn her into my companions.
If it succeeds, in a sense, it can be considered as training her, isn't it?
Then, his attitude towards her would naturally change.
As for women, be more submissive and gentle to them.
Ji Congwu slowly stroked the wound on his index finger with the tip of his thumb and asked seriously:
"A Luo, do you think I meant it as sarcasm when I said the axe complements your temperament?"
Sang Luo pointed his finger at the axe blade, thinking that this damn Ji Congwu was quite interesting.
His acting skills are quite good, not inferior to Gu Qingchuan.
Well, it can be funny, right?
"Yeah." She said lazily.
Ji Congwu just smiled, his tone somewhat helpless: "You misunderstood."
Sang Luo: “Oh?”
"I'm sincerely praising you." Ji Congwu said gently, "You have a unique temperament and a style that is hard to ignore. You can be spotted in a crowd at a glance. Among this pile of weapons, the shape of this axe is unique, and it instantly reminds me of you."
Good acting skills allow you to tell lies with your eyes open and still make them sound deeply affectionate.
Coupled with his high-quality appearance, ordinary girls are indeed easily deceived.
Sang Luo turned the axe and suddenly threw it towards Ji Congwu.
The latter had been on guard against her axe swing, so he caught it steadily without even the slightest flicker of the smile on his lips.
"Then use it to protect me," she said, her red lips curved into a beautiful and charming arc, blinking her sparkling eyes at him, "Well done, there's a reward."
"I'd love to be able to protect A'Luo." Ji Congwu's smile deepened.
In fact, he could also strike her down as fast as lightning.
It was impossible for her to avoid it at such a short distance without her special abilities.
However, everything that happened in the fathead fish territory last time warned Ji Congwu.
She also seems to have no special powers, but she can use them at any time.
She is cunning.
Once you fall into a pit, it would be stupid to fall into it again.
Sang Luo also smiled even sweeter.
Don’t refuse the servant who is offered to you for free at this time.
Xu Qin: ???
How did the situation change from being tense at the beginning to being like flirting between lovers?
...get back together?
Although he didn't understand, he was shocked.
There is also a little inexplicable loss.
Shaking his head, he focused on the road ahead.
He didn't encounter many zombies along the way. After passing the area that Xu Qin had explored, he slowed down.
A convenience store sign was half-hanging on the door.
The door of the convenience store was naturally broken into pieces. Looking inside from the open doorway, the shelves were scattered on the ground, and it was a mess.
Xu Qin stopped the car and said with experience, "Let's go in and search. We should be able to find something to eat."
Sang Luo, who was sleeping lightly with her eyes closed, opened her eyes. She didn't want to go down.
But when she felt her empty belly, she changed her mind.
If there is something better than bread, I will make do with it.
Three people entered the convenience store.
A damp and moldy smell hit me in the face.
Xu Qin originally wanted to give some advice, but seeing Ji Congwu following Sang Luo closely, he swallowed the words back.
——Sang Luo didn’t carry any weapon, and Ji Congwu didn’t carry the axe either, but they had a submachine gun hanging on their shoulders.
Xu Qin withdrew his gaze, held the gun in his hand, and walked inside, stepping on the scattered and torn wrapping papers on the ground.
He quickly determined that there were traces of monsters that had lived here, and that there would be no edible food to be found.
"Are you hungry, A'Luo?" Ji never noticed that Sang Luo was searching the shelves very seriously.
"Now that you know, what should you do at this time?"
Hearing her impatience, Ji Congwu suddenly bent down and took out a bag of well-packaged chocolate rolls from under the collapsed shelf:
"Would you like to eat this? It should taste good."
Sang Luo took a look at the packaging.
Ji Congwu caught the fleeting emotion in her eyes, and after a moment's thought he understood: she definitely wanted to eat, but she had to be reserved.
So he smiled and said, "I'll help Luo tear it open."
His fingers were long and slender, and with just a slight movement, the package was torn open.
Just as he tore it open, he suddenly felt something was wrong and looked down.
Next second.
He threw the bag away with shaking hands and an expressionless face. The bag fell to the ground and a dense swarm of cockroaches crawled out of it.
Ji Congwu pulled out the dagger and instantly cut off the layer of flesh on the back of his hand that had just been crawled over.
Then he turned the muzzle of the submachine gun at lightning speed and fired at the packaging bag.
Xu Qin, who was picking up a can of Coke, was startled and rushed over immediately.
But there were no zombies or monsters to be seen. Instead, Ji Congwu was seen banging his hands on the ground.
“???”
When Ji Congwu stopped, Xu Qin asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Ji Congwu said lightly: "There are bugs, dirtying A Luo's eyes."
Xu Qin: “???????”
He went to see Sang Luo.
The girl folded her hands in front of her and watched the show with a meaningful look on her face.
