Chapter 98: A little secret is hidden from me (two in one)
"Well, it seems that the opponent's supernatural power is also being consumed."
Yan Mo calmly gave a guess that sounded very reasonable.
After listening to Yan Mo's speculation, Xiao Lou also thought that this was the reason, without thinking about it further.
The restriction circle limits the speed of the fourth-level zombie by 10%. The zombie originally relied on speed to fight against Yan Mo and Xiao Lou. Now its speed has been reduced by 10%. This is definitely a good thing for Yan Mo and Xiao Lou who have already adapted to its speed.
Now more than half of Yan Mo and Xiao Lou's attacks fell on it. On the other side, the people who were dealing with the group of zombies had also cleaned up all the zombies and rushed over to help.
Two fists cannot defeat four hands, an ant can kill an elephant, not to mention that the opponent was just a fourth-level zombie, which was quickly defeated under the collective siege of everyone.
After successfully dealing with the fourth-level zombies and going through a fierce battle, everyone was very tired. They had been releasing their mental abilities to observe their surroundings, and they also had to deal with the fourth-level zombie Yan Mo. Their abilities were consumed too much, and their faces became even paler.
Seeing Yan Mo like this, Shu Xin felt a little distressed and wanted to use her own supernatural powers to help Yan Mo recover some of his supernatural powers so that he could feel more comfortable.
Yan Mo saw through Shu Xin's intention at a glance, held down her hand that was about to use her supernatural powers, and shook his head slightly.
"I'm planning to take some people in to rescue people. Do you want to follow me in?" Xiao Lou walked over and asked.
"No, there shouldn't be any danger in there. It's your job to save people and bring them back. We won't get involved in the rest."
"good."
Yan Mo said he couldn't go in, and Xiao Lou had no objection.
At that time, what Yan Mo said was to assist them in rescuing people and not to get involved in the rescue and what happens after they are rescued.
Xiao Lou led the team inside, leaving only Li Hongsheng outside to watch over the car and things.
She registered in the base that she had space-related abilities, so Shu Xin was not afraid to use space in front of Li Hongsheng.
I don't know what the people inside are like. I don't think they're in good physical shape. They've experienced another fierce battle today and are very tired. They won't rush back and will probably rest here tonight.
After finding a place to rest, Shuxin took out two tents from the space. The four of them quickly fixed the two tents with ground nails and entered the tents in pairs.
"Okay, Xinbao, I'm really fine. Look, you've used your powers to restore half of my energy."
Yan Mo hugged Shuxin and rested his chin on Shuxin's shoulder.
"Well, you look much healthier than before. Are you okay? I'll go check on Xiang Wen and Qi Mai next door. They've both consumed a lot of their supernatural powers."
With the shelter of the tent, Shu Xin immediately released her supernatural powers to restore Yan Mo's consumed supernatural powers. She did not stop until Yan Mo's face turned red. Shu Xin also did not forget about Xiangwen and Mu Qimai next door.
Shu Xin got up and went to the next tent alone to help Xiang Wen and Mu Qimai recover their superpowers, allowing Yan Mo to stay in the tent and have a good rest.
When Shuxin came back, Yan Mo had already changed out of the clothes that were stained with zombie blood, and he looked like a humble gentleman again.
Shuxin also felt that her clothes were dirty, so she changed into new ones.
Just after I changed my clothes, I heard voices outside the tent. It must be Xiao Lou and his team who came up to rescue someone.
Out of curiosity, Shuxin pulled Yanmo to go out and take a look. A second before stepping out of the tent, Shuxin heard the voice of a strange girl and stopped.
The tone of the voice sounded very coquettish. Shu Xin turned her head to glance at the face of Yan Mo who was being pulled by her, silently retracted her steps to leave, turned around, and brought Yan Mo back to the tent.
"Xinbao, didn't you say you were going out to take a look? Why are you back again?"
Yan Mo was a little confused by Shu Xin's look. Adhering to the principle of finding out his wife's thoughts as soon as possible, Yan Mo asked.
"I suddenly remembered that there are windows on the tent, so we can see what's happening outside from inside the tent. It's better to rest inside the tent and watch the excitement than outside."
Shuxin didn't tell the real reason and came up with a lame excuse.
"Hmm? Xinbao, you don't tell me the truth anymore. You're starting to hide little secrets from me."
Yan Mo lowered his eyelids, and his tone seemed to carry endless loss.
"Then I told you not to be angry!"
"Okay, I promise I won't be angry."
"Actually, I heard other women talking outside, and I thought if you go out with this face, she will most likely be attracted to you. You are mine, and I don't want you to be coveted by other women."
Even though she knew Yan Mo was pretending and said that on purpose to make her feel bad, Shu Xin still chose to surrender and confess her thoughts.
"Puchi, Xinbao, you are so cute. Do you really think I am popular with everyone? Not all women like me. Don't worry, even if someone covets me, I only belong to you."
Yan Mo pinched the little flesh on Shuxin's face with amusement and hugged her in his arms.
"Hmph, don't laugh at me!" Nestling in Yan Mo's arms, Shu Xin poked Yan Mo's chest with her fingers.
"Be good, if you say you don't want to go out, then we won't go out. I'll stay with you in the tent and watch the fun."
Yan Mo raised his hand and lifted the curtain inside the tent window, allowing Shu Xin to see the situation outside clearly at a glance.
It was indeed as lively outside as Shuxin had imagined.
"Brother Xiao, will my grandpa really be okay?" Liang Yajun huddled beside Xiao Lou, wanting to lean most of her body against him.
"Zhang Qiu has already made it very clear. Professor Liang just didn't drink water or eat for a long time. He was also exhausted for a long time, which led to his coma. He has been fed and he will be fine when he wakes up."
Xiao Lou took a step back and put some distance between himself and Liang Yajun, almost causing Liang Yajun to lose balance and fall to the ground.
Looking at the farce in front of them, the other members of the team looked as if they were used to it.
When he was in the army, Xiao Lou was very popular with girls. In order to attract Xiao Lou's attention, those women used various means to get close to Xiao Lou. As Xiao Lou's teammate, he had seen this kind of scene many times.
The method Liang Yajun used just now was too immature. Compared with the methods that had seduced Xiao Lou before, it was simply child's play.
Ye Yu'an watched Liang Yajun lingering around Xiao Lou with interest, without showing any unhappiness at all.
Xiao Lou saw Ye Yu'an's expression as if he was watching a show. Somehow he felt depressed and unhappy. His expression became even colder. He simply ignored Liang Yajun who wanted to come up and strode back to the car.
I couldn't hear what they said, but just by looking at the pictures, I could already fill in the plot of a 10,000-word novel in my mind.
From the small window, we could see that only three people were rescued, two men and one woman.
Only three people were rescued, but Xiao Lou and his team had been inside for quite some time. It seemed that something happened inside that they were not aware of.
Shu Xin guessed from the scene she just saw that the girl who was rescued had fallen in love with the male protagonist Xiao Lou.
The rotten peach blossom was attracted away by Xiao Lou!
What can she do? She couldn't help but want to gloat over other's misfortune. Hehehe, she is really too bad!
Shuxin covered her mouth and laughed like a little fool who had secretly gained some benefits.
"Xinbao, now you can rest assured that the other party won't fall in love with me, right?"
Seeing Shuxin secretly laughing, Yan Mo felt helpless and amused.
After resting for two hours, Xiao Lou and his team set up their tent not far away from Yan Mo and his team.
It was time for dinner before Shuxin and the others came out of the tent.
Glancing at the situation over at Xiao Lou's team, the three people who were rescued were now sitting soberly beside the fire. Apart from looking tired, they did not appear to have any serious injuries on their bodies.
They had just lit the fire and sat around it when Xiao Lou came over with the three people who had been rescued.
"This is the captain of the Dawn Breaking Team, Yan Mo, and team members Xiangwen, Maki Mai, and Shu Xin. They deserve half the credit for rescuing you."
"This is Professor Liang Bei, researcher Ning Zhengyuan, and Professor Liang's granddaughter Liang Yajun."
Xiao Lou introduced Yan Mo and the others to the three people he brought over. When their names were mentioned, they nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Thank you all for coming to my rescue. If there is anything I can be of use to you in the future, just let me know and I will definitely help you if I can."
After eating and resting for a few hours, Liang Bei regained a lot of energy and had the strength to stand up.
When Xiao Lou rescued them, he mentioned that there was another team outside, but they didn't come in. When he just suggested introducing them to them, Liang Bei's mind became active.
A team that can be sent out alone to carry out a rescue mission must be very strong. Before arriving at the C City base, he took the opportunity to build good relationships with the psychics of the two teams. This will only benefit him and not harm him when he establishes a foothold in the C City base in the future.
Liang Bei clattered the beads on the abacus loudly in her heart, but a look of gratitude appeared on her face.
"The rescue mission was commissioned by the base, and the base will give us a generous reward after we return. Professor Liang doesn't have to worry about it."
Yan Mo had seen all kinds of monsters and demons over the years, and he saw through the calculation in Liang Bei's eyes at a glance, and spoke in a usual gentle and distant tone.
"The base is the base, and I am me. What I just said was from the bottom of my heart. From now on, if the captain needs help, I must ask for it."
Liang Bei pretended not to hear Yan Mo's refusal and continued talking to herself.
Ning Zhengyuan, who came along with them, had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and his aversion to Liang Bei and Liang Yajun grew stronger.
"Okay, we've said hello, let's go back." Xiao Lou, who was standing nearby, saw Liang Bei's ulterior motives, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, and urged them to go back.
"I see there's only one girl in your team. I guess you don't even have girls to play with. Yajun is about the same age as you. You can hang out more often. Young people should communicate more."
Unwilling to go back like this, Liang Bei's eyes swept over Liang Yajun who was standing behind her. Her eyes lit up and she pulled her forward.
The place where Xiao Lou and the others were resting was not far from Yan Mo and the others. Shu Xin and Ye Yu'an both heard what Liang Bei said, and they both rolled their eyes secretly.
"Haha, that's not necessary. The people in our team are all very young, so there's no problem communicating with them. My husband will also play with me. Thank you very much!"
Shu Xin refused directly, saying that she didn't need anyone else to accompany her.
"No need." Ye Yu'an said it more bluntly. If he were to live his life again, Ye Yu'an would never let himself down.
Liang Yajun felt embarrassed when Shu Xin and Ye Yu'an rejected her, and she hated them in her heart.
When Shuxin came out of the tent, Liang Yajun noticed her at first sight. After walking closer and seeing Shuxin's appearance up close, the jealousy in her heart burned even more fiercely.
They are both women, so why is Shuxin so lucky that she can find an excellent man like Yan Mo to protect her, while she finally met the man she likes, but he is very cold to her.
Ye Yu'an, that woman, has a close relationship with Brother Xiao! How could she not hate him?
Liang Bei didn't expect to be rejected directly. She looked a little embarrassed and followed Xiao Lou back.
Ning Zhengyuan nodded to Yan Mo and the others, then turned around and went back together.
From the conversation just now, Ning Zhengyuan knew clearly that the members of the Dawn Breaking Team did not want to have too much contact with them. He would keep their kindness in mind and find a chance to repay them in the future.
There were other people there, so they had a simple meal to fill their stomachs.
"ah--!"
The white tiger and snow wolf that had gone out to forage for food reappeared before returning to the tent. Liang Yajun, who had never seen the white tiger and snow wolf before, once again demonstrated her excellent soprano voice.
"!!!"
Shu Xin, who was drowsy leaning on Yan Mo's shoulder, was startled by the woman's terrified scream. She trembled a little, and her sleepiness disappeared instantly. She sat up with her eyes wide open.
"Be good, it's okay, it's okay."
Yan Mo was startled by Shu Xin's reaction. Seeing the dazed look on Shu Xin's face, he quickly pulled her into his arms and coaxed her gently.
Nestled in the familiar and safe arms, Shu Xin's heart, which had been beating so fast, gradually calmed down.
Seeing that his wife had recovered, Yan Mo's sharp eyes swept over the person who had just screamed.
"Yes, there is a wolf!"
In the pitch-black night, there were only two bonfires lighting up the surroundings. Liang Yajun's sharp and piercing voice made everyone frown at the same time.
Liang Yajun hid behind Xiao Lou in fear, holding onto the corners of Xiao Lou's clothes with both hands.
"Ms. Liang, that's a wolf from the Dawn Squad. It won't hurt us, so don't be afraid. Please let go of my clothes."
Xiao Lou didn't dodge at all, and felt his clothes about to be torn off, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ye Yu'an's eyes that were watching a good show. The irritability in his heart had become even stronger since the afternoon, and he impatiently pulled down Liang Yajun's hand that was grabbing his clothes.
"Xiao, Brother Xiao..."
Liang Yajun looked at Xiao Lou in disbelief, unable to believe that he was so ungentlemanly. He directly pulled her hand down and ignored her attempt to seek protection.
Catching the look Xiao Lou gave Ye Yu'an, Liang Yajun seemed to have suddenly found a suitable reason for Xiao Lou's behavior, and the look he gave Ye Yu'an was terribly gloomy.
