After Fu Tianhe finished washing up, he washed his socks and hung them on the rope of the tent to dry.
Instead of resting with Chen Ci, he sat on the small stone slab at the entrance of the tent, took his bulging backpack, and checked the parts he had picked up today one by one.
It was already dark, but it was not yet seven o'clock in the evening. The main body of Cinnabar in the distance was brightly lit, but the light it emitted could not provide sufficient illumination for the abandoned suburbs, and was even less bright than the missing full moon overhead.
Above the bottom, there are countless external platforms extending from the main body, blocking the distant sky above the abandoned suburbs. As the sun moves, it sometimes casts a large shadow.
Today they explored three large buildings and disassembled many parts from the corpses left behind by the original creatures.
Most of the creatures washed up on the beach are small fish and shrimps. The really large creatures are blocked by the extended sea-circling bases and numerous platforms to ensure that the main body of Cinnabar will not be invaded.
Fu Tianhe sorted the parts into categories, and after returning and slightly modifying them, he could sell them for a good price.
Chen Ci was sitting in the tent, barefoot, chatting with Chen Nian.
His younger brother who was far away at the top of Cinnabar was having a great time. Chen Nian raised a big goose in the palace and named it Prince. The prince had a fierce personality and bit the second princess Afro's duckling and pecked Shafulai's butt.
Chen Nian is trying every possible way to train him, and together with Gui Zhiqi, she is cultivating the prince's "virtue".
Chen Nian took a photo and sent it over, and it was indeed a big goose with its head held high.
After feeding the geese, Chen Nian chatted a lot with Chen Ci. In line with the principle that happiness should be shared, he told Chen Ci everything that happened today.
Seeing Chen Nian describing how Antonio wanted to flirt with him but accidentally stepped on Shafla's foot, even someone as calm as Chen Ci couldn't help but make a "stunned" expression.
His only impression of Antonio was the one meeting in front of the White Tower. Alpha was a typical nobleman and had been friends with Shafla for more than ten years.
Chen Ci imagined the scene at that time and it must have been quite exciting.
Seeing that Chen Nian was having fun and feeling relaxed on the top floor, Chen Ci no longer had anything to worry about.
He put down the terminal and looked up at the figure at the door of the tent.
Alpha was sitting on the stone slab with his back to the tent, one leg crossed. The light from the searchlight outlined a bright yellow edge on his body. His back was strong and broad, which probably gave people a sense of reliability.
Fu Tianhe was still sorting the parts. They had been trekking for a whole day and the activity was quite intense. Fu Tianhe was also busy setting up camp and cooking, and now he was not willing to sit around.
Alpha's physical fitness is terrifying. No matter what time it is, he always looks full of energy and high spirits, and he seems to have no idea what fatigue is.
Being with such people makes me feel full of energy.
However, they will have to continue their journey after daybreak tomorrow, so Chen Ci plans to speed up the exploration so that he can return earlier.
"Fu Tianhe." He called the Alpha's name softly, and when the other party turned around, he said, "Come and rest."
Fu Tianhe still turned his head to the left out of habit. He could not see his right eye. The golden pupil was clear and beautiful, but it was just a fake eye with a cold texture.
The light source from above and the figure of a young man sitting relaxedly in the tent were reflected in his black eyes.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Fu Tianhe agreed. He turned around and took a deep breath.
Chen Ci's expression looked like an invitation. And indeed, that was exactly what he was saying; the boy was inviting him to rest with him.
He knew he shouldn't think wrongly, but if people could easily control their thoughts, there wouldn't be so many tragedies.
Fu Tianhe put the sorted parts back into the bag. He took off his shoes at the entrance of the tent and crawled in using his hands and feet.
The tent was not particularly big, just enough for two people to sleep in. Chen Ci moved to the side to make room for him.
In the past three days, they have been accustomed to the routine of working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise. Now that they have washed up, they can rest.
Finally, Chen Ci said goodnight to Chen Nian and lay down in his sleeping bag.
Seeing that he was about to sleep, Fu Tianhe brought in the searchlight hanging outside the tent. It was definitely not a good idea to leave a light on in the completely dark wilderness while resting, as it might attract some inexplicable things.
There are no so-called wild animals on the beacon now, and they are far away from the sea, but what they really need to worry about are people.
The mechanical remains of the original creatures not only attracted Fu Tianhe, but also other abandoned people. Most of them were homeless people struggling on the poverty line, making a living by picking up mechanical parts and reselling them to steel mills.
Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci deliberately avoided the beach, so they have not come into contact with these people until now.
Fu Tianhe pulled up the tent and adjusted the brightness of the searchlight to the minimum. He took out a small fluorescent ball from his bag and placed it above his head to provide a little light so that the surroundings would not be completely dark.
"I turned off the lights."
"good."
Fu Tianhe turned off the searchlight, and the tent became dark in an instant. Only the faint light from the small ball was projected on the tent fabric, like fireflies in the grass on a summer night.
He heard a rustling sound beside him. It was Chen Ci turning over to find a comfortable position.
After a while, the boy calmed down, turned his back to him, and began to feel sleepy.
There was limited space in the tent, and the two people's sleeping bags were placed tightly together. In the silent night, they could even hear each other's breathing clearly.
Fu Tianhe couldn't help but breathe lighter and lighter, for fear of disturbing Chen Ci's rest.
He recalled the first night they set up camp. He hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to go into the tent to sleep. He even planned to just pull a sleeping bag outside.
They are uncombined AO, how can they sleep together?
Fu Tianhe had already pulled the sleeping bag out. Chen Ci noticed his intention, stood up and called him to stop.
"Why not sleep in the tent?" he asked.
Fu Tianhe replied: "The impact is not good."
Fu Tianhe could not see any shyness, doubt or other considerations in those amber eyes. Chen Ci's face was calm. He shook his head and simply said:
"It's okay, come on."
Chen's words were so pure and frank that in Fu Tianhe's eyes, they became an irresistible temptation.
It's his sin.
Fu Tianhe finally entered the tent.
The two of them had their own sleeping bags, not the same quilt, but even so, it was quite ambiguous for him as an Alpha to be in the same room with an uncoupled Omega.
Chen Ci, on the other hand, slept soundly, as if he didn't feel the problem at all, leaving Fu Tianhe with mixed feelings. He couldn't fall asleep for a while, and he didn't dare to toss and turn for fear of making any noise and disturbing the other party.
He listened to the boy's steady breathing which gradually became longer and longer, and just like that, he fell asleep in front of him without any protection.
Chen Ci still wore the anti-bite collar tightly, but after falling asleep, pheromones drifted out faintly, and a faint floral scent filled the entire tent.
The fragrance was not strong, but Fu Tianhe seemed to be drowning in it.
His mind gradually became dizzy, but fortunately he did not do anything he shouldn't have done in the end. The sleeping bag restrained his body, and his reason restrained his heart.
The same thing happened tonight.
In the silent and dark conditions, Chen Ci fell asleep quickly.
The fragrance of flowers wafted out and lingered around Fu Tianhe's nose. Fu Tianhe thought about it for three days but still couldn't figure out what the smell was. He had seen too few plants.
Chen Ci carried him on his back, bent his legs, and curled up a little, like a baby in his mother's belly. He lowered his head slightly, his smooth neck was exposed from the back of his collar, and his fine black hair was swept around his collar.
Fu Tianhe looked at him quietly.
Alpha wasn't sleepy yet. Ever since the serious illness he had suffered that year, he had slept less and less. He didn't need much rest to feel full of energy.
At first, Fu Tianhe was worried that his body would be worn out, but later he gradually realized that it really didn't seem to have any effect.
Fu Tianhe was very happy that Jiu Yue trusted him so much, but he was also worried that the boy would behave like this in front of other Alphas. Not everyone could be as restrained and self-controlled as he was.
What if, he meant what if, September really met someone with evil intentions, the consequences would be disastrous.
Should I teach September more? The boy was clearly working hard in the dungeon to earn money to support his family, but most of the time he seemed to know nothing. That day, he was even pinned against a wall by an Alpha who was collecting debts in a remote alley.
He had to teach Jiu Yue how to protect herself, otherwise who knew what would happen when he was gone?
Fu Tianhe was thinking wildly. This was the first time he felt the responsibility so clearly. Although for Jiu Yue, it might just be his wishful thinking.
I don't know how much time passed before my consciousness gradually became blurred. I had become accustomed to being immersed in the elegant floral scent. The amber wood scent then spread and was no longer under Alpha's control.
Did he take inhibitors today? Fu Tianhe had forgotten. He was about to fall asleep and wanted to think about this problem clearly, but he could only watch himself slip into chaos.
Chen Ci, who had fallen asleep a long time ago, turned over and unconsciously stretched his arm out of the sleeping bag and placed it on Fu Tianhe.
An arm was not that heavy. The young man mumbled incoherently in his sleep and moved towards Fu Tianhe as if seeking a source of heat, and the fragrance came closer.
During his rest days in the dungeon, Chen Ci got used to having a stuffed bear lying beside him.
Like a dream.
It's like a dream.
Boom boom
The moment a dull roar came from afar, Fu Tianhe opened his eyes and sat up in shock.
Chen Ci woke up earlier than him. The young man half-knelt at the door of the tent in a very alert posture, staring closely at the direction where the sound came from. The faint light of the fluorescent ball reflected his tense back.
Fu Tianhe was about to ask what happened when suddenly there was another loud noise.
Without saying a word, Chen Ci grabbed his coat, put on his shoes, and ran out.
Fu Tianhe hurriedly climbed up using his hands and feet. He grabbed the searchlight and rushed out of the tent following Chen Ci.
The searchlight was turned on, and the beam illuminated the front. In just a few seconds, Chen Ci had already run more than ten meters. The boy was like a nimble cat, climbing over the ruins, and every movement was so light and neat.
Fu Tianhe tried his best to keep up. The range of the light swayed violently as he ran wildly. He tried his best to illuminate the road ahead of Chen Ci, but Chen Ci didn't seem to mind the darkness ahead at all and always managed to avoid all obstacles perfectly.
The sound became clearer. It was the sound of metal objects rubbing against concrete, as if a huge weight had fallen on it, directly crushing the remaining buildings.
Faintly, Fu Tianhe also heard a few human screams.
