Chapter 360 Second Cycle (Part 5)
Time passed little by little, and I don't know how much time had gone by.
Yun Zhao woke up from the bed and slowly opened his eyes.
Her eyes were somewhat dazed, as if she had just woken up from a long dream.
The room was dark, with no lights and a faint musty smell and a vague, ambiguous odor in the air.
A brand new thin quilt was covering him without his knowledge.
The temperature inside the blanket was very high.
Yun Zhao stretched out her delicate arm and slightly raised her hand. Sparkling green fluorescent light immediately floated out, illuminating a corner of the bed.
The bed was a mess; the sheets, which hadn't been made properly to begin with, were now even more crumpled and huddled together.
The physical discomfort instantly brought her back to her senses.
Thinking back to what happened before.
Countless fragments of memories floated within Xie Tu's mental realm. She had only purified half of it when the man regained consciousness, and then...
Thinking of this, Yun Zhao lay on the pillow and turned his head to the side.
She discovered that Xie Tu had already been awake for quite some time.
Those deep eyes were staring straight at her, their intense affection undisguised, surging like the sea.
This time, he didn't suppress himself, but instead turned the tables and succumbed to her.
My body felt as if it had crashed into molten lava, shattering into pieces.
It still aches faintly to this day.
The room was dimly lit, illuminated by fluorescent light.
The two locked eyes.
There wasn't a single piece of clothing under the covers, and the air seemed to freeze.
Yun Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the fluorescent light that had been scattering around her vanished instantly, plunging the room back into darkness.
Xie Tu reached out and embraced her, pulling her into his arms.
He didn't speak, but simply held her tightly, his hot breath tickling her neck.
Yun Zhao felt a little uncomfortable being held by him.
His chest pressed against her back, his head buried in her neck, his body burning hot like a fireball, causing her to sweat again.
Yun Zhao subconsciously moved a little distance to the side.
But then the man pressed against her again, and she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried.
She struggled in vain and resignedly leaned against the man's chest.
I thought to myself, "She's too clingy."
“We need to get up and go find the others,” Yun Zhao said, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse.
Xie Tu held her without moving, saying, "Let Huo Feng go, you can rest a bit more."
The phoenix, engulfed in flames, will be spotted by the teammates as soon as it appears in the sky above the city, and they will immediately rush to assemble.
"Has Fire Phoenix already gone out?"
Despite the faint connection resulting from their deep union, she was able to sense that the Fire Phoenix was not by his side.
Xie Tu: "Mm."
The first thing he did upon waking was to release the fire phoenix to search for his teammates.
I believe news will come soon.
However, he had to get up first so that his teammates wouldn't see this.
Xie Tu noticed that she wasn't feeling well, so he finally let go of her and got up to get dressed.
As Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, his mind raced, and the cyan-green fluorescence mischievously reappeared.
The scattered lights gathered together and lingered all around.
The man's muscular physique was on full display.
A strong chest, a narrow waist, a firm abdomen, and graceful muscle lines that are faintly visible during movement.
Xie Tu remained calm and showed her the sight without any hesitation.
She seemed to really enjoy looking at his physique.
Under Yun Zhao's unwavering gaze, Xie Tu calmly put on his combat uniform, reached out and pulled out a box of external wound medicine and a points card from his messy backpack.
When Yun Zhao saw him looking over, he quickly withdrew his spiritual power.
The room was plunged into darkness once again.
She felt him sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at her.
Suddenly, a corner of the blanket was lifted, and a hand reached inside, accurately grabbing her right hand.
Then, a points card was slipped into her hand.
"It's all yours." A deep voice echoed in the dark room.
Yun Zhao clutched his belongings, and it took him a while to react. "You heard everything!?"
Xie Tu did not deny that even though he was affected by the gatekeeper, he still maintained a sliver of consciousness.
"Yes, you don't need to wait until you have a child; all the points you earn from now on are yours to manage."
He paused, then continued, "If I have a child, I will not only raise them, but I will also accompany them as they grow up, teach them skills, and impart knowledge to them..."
In the darkness, you could only hear his voice; you couldn't see the expression on his face.
But Yun Zhao knew that what he said was true.
She suddenly became somewhat at a loss.
I didn't think too much about it at the time. My original plan was to wake him up, take advantage of his body, and do some harmless things without having to take responsibility.
But now things seem to be moving in a different direction.
At this moment, Xie Tu leaned down and hugged her again through the blanket, gently touching her lips.
He didn't say a word, yet it spoke volumes.
Yun Zhao held his points card, his feelings were very complicated.
"team leader."
"Um?"
When did you start liking me?
Xie Tu quickly gave his answer, "Before I met you."
Yun Zhao was puzzled.
He said, "My heartbeat knew you before I did."
*
After a brief moment of tenderness.
Xie Tu took out the wound medicine in his hand, intending to help her apply the medicine.
Yun Zhao was unrestrained when looking at him, but when it came to himself, he became somewhat annoyed and chased the man away.
She sat up, quickly cleaned herself up, applied the medicine, put on her combat uniform, and combed her hair.
After thinking about it again, he put Xie Tu's points card into his backpack.
Yun Zhao didn't forget the important matter. After tidying up, he called him back in and said, "I made a bet with the gatekeeper that we would find it in the city within three days."
As soon as Xie Tu came in, he moved closer to her and sat down right next to her on the bed. "What's the bet?"
The incident happened suddenly.
The gatekeepers let them return to the city, apparently because of the so-called bet.
Since she agreed to the bet, there must be a reason why she compromised.
"It is waiting for someone, but it hasn't met that person yet. If I don't find it within three days, I will have to go and find that person for it."
Yun Zhao felt it was a bit crowded, so she moved a little to the right. "If I find it, it will tell me everything it knows."
She then recounted her conversation with the gatekeeper, only concealing the fact that there was a Dark Guide and a Light Guide.
After a deep connection, a faint spiritual link was established between the two.
Xie Tu had clearly discovered something.
For example, the familiar amusement park that appeared in her mental realm.
However, he didn't even have a question like "why that amusement park appeared in her mental realm".
It doesn't matter what kind of secret it is.
She is simply herself.
Xie Tu listened attentively, then unconsciously moved closer to her. "You suspect he was once from the Dawn Base, which is why he let us move supplies until they were safely transported out before taking action?"
Yun Zhao nodded, and finally couldn't help but push him away, "Don't get so close."
Why are you like a phoenix, always wanting to stick together?
Xie Tu pursed his lips, moved back a little, and kept a distance of one finger width from her.
"To become a gatekeeper, one must have a strong obsession, and after the distortion, that obsession must be able to break through the control of dark matter in order to create a contaminated zone."
Not every mutant, after losing their mind, remembers who they are or what they want to do.
Not every mutant can become a gatekeeper.
For example, Qi Ling also broke free from control. It is currently unknown why he retained his rationality, but the research institute tends to believe that it is related to his simple and unpretentious obsession.
In short, the probability of success is extremely small.
So, some people would choose to infect themselves, gambling on that one in ten thousand chance?
How much determination does that require?
Yun Zhao: "Thinking about these things is useless. Let's think about how to find it instead."
There are only three days left, and several hours have already passed since the first day.
