"It's going so fast." Pei Xi sighed.
"I didn't expect that. Maybe they all think our village is unsafe." Ma Mengxiang leaned on her hoe and said quietly, "I don't know if I'll see them again after this trip."
There is a high probability that you will not be able to see it.
I heard that the situation outside is getting more and more scary and dangerous. There are not only zombies but also other unknown creatures. I shudder just thinking about it.
I didn't know when I was ripped open and eaten by those horrible creatures on the roadside.
"Everyone has their own destiny." Pei Xiqing smiled at her: "Relax."
"From now on, we will just be relying on each other."
Ma Mengxiang leaned closer and said, "But Miss Pei, you seem to be very familiar with that Deputy Captain Zhang Tian. She also said that she would take care of you. Can you take me with you in the future?"
"If there was that time, I would definitely not abandon you."
"Just for what you said, I'll take care of all your future troubles."
Pei Xiqing smiled and said, "Mengxiang, do you have a boyfriend?"
Ma Mengxiang was stunned. "I don't have any. What's the matter? In such a small village, there are several men who like my cousin. Some of them don't even look at me. I don't care. I'm not good-looking, so I don't expect those things."
"You are very beautiful, a different kind of beauty."
"Really?" Ma Mengxiang: "Don't fool me."
“Believe in yourself.”
Pei Xiqing stared at her thoughtfully.
I feel embarrassed to have her look at me.
Ma Mengxiang scratched her head: "Don't look at me like that suddenly, and ask such a strange question... Don't you have any bad ideas!"
"No," she said, "just asking casually."
"It gave me a fright."
Ma Mengxiang patted her chest.
Pei Xiqing turned around and supported the elderly woman who was barely standing. "Let's go back to the village. There are still many things in the village that may need us to repair and clean up."
Ma Mengxiang took a hoe and tools and called on the only seven or eight people left in the village to follow.
The village has lost its former bustle, with less than ten people left, and the area of the village has also shrunk a lot.
Except for Pei Xiqing and Duan Xiaolin who still lived in Qianlai's house, everyone lived together in a nearby location and became next-door neighbors, so that they could take care of each other.
Pei Xiqing spent the whole day helping several elderly people with limited mobility clean the house, and only came back in the evening rubbing his sore arms.
When she reached the door, it started to drizzle again. She ran to the eaves, but before she could push the door open, she heard the voice of a shadow coming from inside.
"Brother Duan, the situation at headquarters is indeed not optimistic. Are you really not planning to return?"
"Let them fight for a while." The man's voice was calm, with a sense of indifference. "Those guys in Hei's group are almost unable to contain themselves and are coming out."
"The Marshal..."
“I can communicate.”
"good."
"There's one more thing..." As the words came to his lips, Shadow immediately noticed the movement outside the door and gestured to the man.
Duan Xiaolin seemed to know who it was: "Continue."
Ying then spoke: "The parasite has recovered."
"Really?" Duan Xiaolin showed some interest. "I see."
"The host's power is truly terrifying. I'm afraid it won't be kept in the lab for long."
"I'll be quick."
"yes."
They had no intention of hiding the truth from Pei Xi.
Even if she was sneaking around outside the door, no one would deliberately expose her.
Pei Xiqing pushed the door open and came in, "I want to see that parasite."
Ying touched his mask and said, "It may take a few days. The lab is a mess right now."
"No problem." Pei Xiqing said, "As long as I can see it."
It took more than a month for the host to finally recover. For a host with exaggerated size and constant weight gain, the minor injury at the beginning should not be a big deal.
"When I saw the other parasite, it was very ferocious. This one..."
Shadow said, "This one isn't fierce. It can be tamed as long as Brother Duan is around. With other people... it's not going to work."
"Understood."
She had never seen a non-ferocious host. The book described that any host had been formed by at least hundreds of creatures. Each one looked ferocious and evil, like a monster, with the sole intention of devouring its host.
Being tamed is a bit of a fantasy.
Pei Xiqing met the man's gaze doubtfully, and saw a hint of a shallow smile in his eyes. She coughed lightly in embarrassment.
What is he laughing at?
He couldn't help but rub his aching waist and said, "There aren't many people in the village anymore. Mengxiang and I spent the whole afternoon cleaning up the houses of those grandparents. However, the walls and roofs outside need repairing. Brother Duan, do you have time these days?"
"Yes." The man agreed readily, "Leave the rest to me."
"good."
Pei Xiqing was about to go back to her room to take a shower, and Ying also lowered her head: "Brother Duan, I'll be leaving first."
"In three days," he said, "I'll take her to see the parasite."
"yes."
Pei Xiqing stopped and said, "That was fast, Brother Duan, what happened at headquarters?"
Duan Xiaolin followed her and took off her wet coat.
Before Pei Xiqing could react, her clothes were taken off until she was left with only a suspender top.
The man approached, his thin lips gently kissing her shoulder. He lingered there for a moment, then slowly spoke, "It's related to the underworld. There are countless people at headquarters involved in the underworld industry. We have to find an opportunity to make them reveal their true colors."
"Headquarters..." Pei Xiqing had never been there before and wasn't very interested. When the man touched her, her body trembled and she felt his fingers gently stroking the totem on her back.
Once this thing gets hot, all the consciousness in her brain will be swallowed up, and she will become something she can't even imagine.
As soon as the man touched her, she really started to react again.
I felt a gradual burning sensation in my back.
His hot and wet kiss fell intermittently.
The movement suddenly paused.
Pei Xiqing looked back in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
