Chapter 346: The Favorite of the End Times (26)
"Who is this?"
Cen Chen seemed to have just noticed Guan Zhiyuan holding hands with Qiao Xi. His gaze lingered briefly on their holding hands, and he had a vague bad feeling in his heart.
"He's my new boyfriend."
The little girl smiled sweetly and happily, and took the young man's arm openly.
Cen Chen looked at the indifferent Guan Zhiyuan, then at the smiling Qiao Xi. For a moment, he found it hard to believe. Qiao Xi had said she wanted to go to Base A because she knew someone there.
So this person is...
"Is that so? Congratulations on being single now."
Cen Chen laughed dryly and rubbed his slightly curly hair, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But my hot heart gradually cooled down.
The feelings that were brewing for the birth of ambiguity were extinguished bit by bit, and the seedlings that had just been planted in his heart were pulled out by the roots, leaving nothing in the end.
Just when the atmosphere was about to become awkward.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from a distance: "Qiao Xi!"
Dongfang Xian was immediately attracted to the girl at first sight, but when he saw Qiao Xi holding hands with a strange young man, he was overjoyed at the reunion.
It quickly turned into wariness and anxiety.
"A-Are you okay? Where have you been?"
Dongfang Xian hurriedly walked up to her and asked haltingly, while Ling Lin, who was standing next to her, lowered his eyelids to hide the dullness in his eyes when he saw the girl holding hands with someone else.
The hand at his side clenched unconsciously.
A certain ominous premonition seemed to be coming true.
"Senior Dongfang, Senior Ling, long time no see. I'm going to an outside base with my boyfriend and may not be back."
But the girl seemed not to hear.
She was like a young girl who had just fallen in love, her heart and eyes full of tenderness and happiness, and the only person in her world was the young man beside her.
Guan Zhiyuan noticed her gaze.
He glanced sideways at her, and was caught off guard by the deep affection in her eyes that was almost overflowing. He was stunned by the sight.
If he didn't know that the other party wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend.
I'm afraid even he himself will take it seriously.
This guy... is really good at acting.
Although he thought so, Guan Zhiyuan's expression honestly betrayed his true feelings. Being stared at by Qiao Xi with such a gentle and dependent shy look, his heart gradually became hot.
This scene.
In the eyes of the three people, Qiao Xi and her boyfriend were in love.
How happy these two are.
They feel how dazzling it is.
"Is that so? So you'll be living with your boyfriend from now on."
Dongfang Xian's voice was very low and he lowered his head slightly.
His drooping head and his once flamboyant red hair no longer looked as dazzling as before. He was the only one who looked like a clown, thinking that being rejected was okay.
Maybe there is still a chance.
As a result, Qiao Xi disappeared and came back with a boyfriend.
He was completely defeated.
It turns out that not everything can be exchanged for a good result by putting in sincerity and effort. In the end, he was just too dreamy.
Dongfang Xian looked at Qiao Xi.
But he couldn't utter a word. The heaviness and oppression in his chest almost suffocated him. He had never known the bitterness of loss, but one day he would be able to experience it.
"I wish you happiness."
Ling Lin restrained all the emotions in his eyes, and when he looked at Qiao Xi again, there was no emotion in his eyes.
This is a simple sentence.
It was like a farewell and also like a relief, but in the end he didn't have the courage to take that step and cross the line.
The only time he transgressed his authority ended up being just like his retreat and cowardice, becoming a dream.
He is not as proactive as Dongfang Xian.
It's not an exaggeration to say that he's a slow-burner. The first thing he did when he realized his feelings was to hide them. Perhaps that decision doomed the outcome today.
If I had been more proactive at that time.
Could it be him who is next to Qiao Xi?
Ling Lin thought so, but ultimately smiled dismissively. He knew very well that if he had to do it again, he would still make the same choice.
Maybe he is essentially one.
A selfish person who is unwilling to believe and unwilling to open his heart completely.
Always fantasize about beauty for no reason.
But I always miss the opportunities that appear around me, and in the end I accomplish nothing and don’t even have the room to be moved by myself.
"Let's go, Dongfang."
Ling Lin collected his thoughts and looked at Dongfang Xian, who was still nodding his head, looking painful yet unwilling.
And the latter heard his voice.
He looked up with red eyes and took one last look at Qiao Xi, then turned around and strode away angrily.
Dongfang Xian was holding a stack of missing person notices in his hand.
As the flames emerged from the palm of his hand, the missing person notice that he had spent several nights writing was burned to ashes.
Ling Lin looked at Dongfang Xian who turned around and left.
He could only nod slightly to Qiao Xi and Guan Zhiyuan as a greeting before leaving.
It's all over.
"Are you really not planning to live in Base C?" Cen Chen didn't react so violently. He coughed lightly to bring back the awkward atmosphere.
That person seemed to be interested in Qiao Xi.
Although Cen Chen himself had no right to say this, he still felt a little sad when he saw the red-haired man like this.
I guess the other person really likes it too.
Cen Chen's current impression of Qiao Xi is beyond just friendship. He has just started to like her, but it's not the kind of love that requires life or death.
So I know that Qiao Xi has a boyfriend.
After being shocked and upset, he began to try to accept reality.
After all, there is no need to be hard on himself. Besides, Qiao Xi's special ability is also very rare. If he has a good personal relationship with Qiao Xi, he will still think about fighting for the base.
"No, you saw it too. The situation is a bit awkward."
Qiao Xi shook her head.
Cen Chen no longer forced her. After chatting with the girl for a few minutes, he returned to his post.
Guan Zhiyuan has been a transparent person from beginning to end.
After all the messy people left, he looked at Qiao Xi beside him. He probably knew why Qiao Xi asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend.
Cut off peach blossom?
That's right. If the base commander knew that there were people like her outside, he would probably deal with them without mercy.
The two did not stay in Base C for long.
After Qiao Xi and Guan Zhiyuan registered and left, they found a remote place and tore the space apart again, and returned to the room in Base A.
Her phone logged into the team account at Base C.
Now the team is insufficient in number and has been automatically disbanded.
Mi Xuecha went to Base D, and there was a message from Wen Renyuan on the team's homepage, saying that he took Wen Ren Jialan to Base B and parted ways with Dongfang Xian and the others.
The main characters are almost all gone.
Qiao Xi also felt a little emotional. The world she was in now was equivalent to having two different story lines.
One is Wenren Yuan and the other is Gu Xuanye.
It’s just that Liu Lingxuan hasn’t recovered her memory. I heard that she is also in Base A, but this base is equivalent to half a city.
Too big.
The probability of meeting is not high, and Qiao Xi also learned from Gu Xuanye that Liu Lingxuan is currently dating Han Cheng.
What do these two say...
It's still magical when mixed together.
However, she did not find any trace of An Xun. According to the current timeline, the zombie virus in this world is no longer caused by An Xun's X virus, but a natural disaster.
Different from the previous story line.
The originally planned end of the world was supposed to come when Gu Xuanye was in his thirties, but the end of the world came shortly after Gu Xuanye finished the college entrance examination, and in the form of a natural disaster.
More than a little early.
If Qiao Xi remembered correctly, An Xun returned to China when she was in college.
This time node.
Even if he was reborn, he would probably still be abroad.
Now all flights have been grounded and traffic is in chaos. Almost the entire world has fallen. Most people mutated into zombies when the natural disaster struck, and there are only a few left alive. Qiao Xi thought that she probably wouldn't encounter them again.
Guan Zhiyuan was also fiddling with his cell phone.
Ever since he knew that the invisibility ability was ineffective against Qiao Xi, he would not use the ability when they were together in private, except when she was out.
And now.
He frowned as he looked at the message on his phone. Base A naturally also had its own internal network.
It is different from Base C.
Base A can apply to register a personal account and will not use the team account. However, the prerequisite for applying for a personal account is that you need to use your real name.
Therefore, all speeches are made using real names.
For psychics who belong to a team, their names will be prefixed with the team name.
And ordinary people without special powers.
Nicknames are green.
When Qiao Xi arrived at Base A, her personal account was also moved into the Base A system. However, she was not very familiar with Base A and did not pay attention to the forum community.
The silly netizens in base A like to play pranks.
Because of the large number of people, the forum posts refreshed very quickly. It was no different from peacetime, so Qiao Xi didn't bother to read them.
Guan Zhiyuan is one of Gu Xuanye's confidants.
Therefore, there is a certain degree of management authority on the forum, which allows you to filter out the silly netizens and read some more serious posts.
Now is the time.
There was a post that caught his attention. The photo was blurry, but he could see a bunch of strange mutated zombies.
Densely packed numbers.
It’s a headache just to look at.
The poster said that they saw it when they came back from a mission. When they saw so many zombies from afar, they thought they were going to be doomed.
But the zombies did not attack them.
Just gathered together, it was very weird.
However, they didn't have time to think about it at the time. They quickly took a photo and hurried back to the base, posting that they had encountered something strange.
Some people even responded jokingly on the forum.
It is said that these zombies are having a meeting, sitting together in a row, listening very attentively.
But some people are worried.
They thought a zombie wave was coming, but soon someone replied that it was not a problem as they had their invincible base.
But this is strange no matter how you look at it.
"There are so many! Are all the zombies around Base A like this?"
Guan Zhiyuan suddenly heard the sweet and clear voice of a young girl, and he didn't know when Qiao Xi came over.
This was probably the first time she had seen such a scene.
Looking at the slightly blurry mutated zombie in the photo, her beautiful eyes were full of curiosity and exploration.
“Yes, viruses can also evolve and mutate.”
Guan Zhiyuan glanced at her. The little girl was kneeling on the ground with her hands on the floor, leaning sideways to look at his mobile phone, looking down from his angle.
You can see the girl's elegant neck and collarbone.
And a faint hint of softness.
Guan Zhiyuan decisively looked away and ignored it. Instead, he handed his phone to her and asked Qiao Xi to take it and look at it herself.
"Mutated zombies are just like raising Gu."
Qiao Xi took his phone and looked through the posts on the forum. Naturally, there were many people with special abilities taking these curious photos of zombies, some of which were even in 1080P resolution.
Every detail can be seen clearly.
Most of the zombies that Qiao Xi fought still maintained human appearance and form. He had never seen such completely distorted zombies with strange tentacles or sharp claws and knives.
Some were covered in rot and pus.
The densely packed bumps piled up and bulged, and when they burst, a sticky green liquid gushed out. They were all infected with viruses, and they looked really disgusting.
I don’t know how the zombies at Base A mutated.
As the largest base with the largest population.
If other bases are like small biscuits, then Base A is like a big cake, fragrant and very tempting.
Zombies will come here first.
Secondly, they will be diverted to several other different bases, and the nearby Base B often suffers from this.
This is a post where zombies get together.
It didn't cause much of a stir on the forums, nor did it spark any heated discussion. After all, situations like this where zombies gathered together were not unheard of before.
Most of them were solved by the powerful base commander.
Even if problems are discovered, there will be people with special abilities to take the lead, so ordinary people don’t have to worry about these things.
They just need to do their job within the base.
After getting his phone back, Guan Zhiyuan found the location in the picture and reported the news to Captain Chen of the official team of Base A.
This kind of thing is usually left to the official team to resolve.
As for the team Guan Zhiyuan belongs to, it is a relatively special team that was secretly trained and its strength is hidden in the dark.
The official team is in the open.
Some special tasks that are difficult to display to the public and are relatively confidential are basically carried out by the team that Guan Zhiyuan is in.
"It looks like Captain Chen won't have any vacation time."
Qiao Xi held her chin with both hands and watched the young man beside her edit the message and send it to Captain Chen. He was really busy as another task came up before he finished it.
She suddenly realized it.
The official team at Base C, apart from a few fixed missions every week, spends the rest of their time in the base, which is really quite free.
Guan Zhiyuan paused slightly, as if asking casually.
"Do you know Chen Ping?"
That is Captain Chen. They are colleagues in the same position, so there is nothing wrong with calling him by his name.
Qiao Xi tilted her head in surprise.
"Yes, I came back with the official team. Brother Zhiyuan, don't you know?"
The tone was innocent, and there was only pure confusion and doubt in his voice.
"have no idea."
Guan Zhiyuan turned off his phone and was extra honest this time. He only received orders to monitor and protect Qiao Xi.
Because of the special nature of the team.
Normally, he wouldn't have any contact with other colleagues, and other colleagues didn't know where Qiao Xi came from. They only knew that he was the base commander's man.
Therefore, Guan Zhiyuan knew nothing about her.
My heart seemed to sink a little.
Looking back, he wanted to kill Qiao Xi the first time he saw her. It was indeed too extreme. If he hadn't known that Qiao Xi was capable, he would probably still have this idea.
Even now.
I still have a vague urge to kill her, but it's a very complicated emotion.
He hates Qiao Xi.
He hated this hypocritical woman, and also hated her sometimes deliberately affected tone, especially when she was teasing him, which was very humiliating.
"Are you unhappy?"
Qiao Xi tilted her head and blinked as she looked at Guan Zhiyuan, not understanding why the other party's mood changed so suddenly.
"Want to do something fun?"
The girl propped herself up and sat up straight, her soft and gentle voice adorned with a hint of smile and warmth.
Guan Zhiyuan suddenly thought of some images.
His body suddenly froze, and he irritably shook off Qiao Xi's hand that was about to reach out and pull his sleeve quietly. He said in a slightly frustrated tone, "If you don't come, what have you been thinking about all day?"
Qiao Xi was not annoyed at being avoided by him.
She looked at Guan Zhiyuan innocently and muttered softly, "I wanted to play games, watch anime, and follow TV series... What I did to you was a punishment. It was obviously you who had the wrong idea."
The next second.
He saw Qiao Xi with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Hey, that's not right. So punishment is already a happy thing for you?"
Guan Zhiyuan's body stiffened instantly: "..."
——Small Theater——
Qiao Xi: All the relationships are over, and you have to ask why. Since I can't respond, I refuse to let the other person give up completely. Someone who treats me sincerely and has given me feelings shouldn't be mistreated and toyed with. I don't deserve it.
Dongfang Xian: You fucking? So you'd rather find a boyfriend than reject me?
Guan Zhiyuan: ... (I was asked to pretend to be your boyfriend, so this is the reason?)
Ling Lin: Then I’ll leave?
Cen Chen: Ah... (scratching his head tactically) How about you guys fight first while Qiao Xi and I go get some food?
Dongfang Xian: What the hell?
The Little White Cat System raised its paw: Okay, I now declare that all normal people are eliminated_(:з」∠)_
The little black cat system eats melons: It turns out that those who are hanging around for fun are either big-headed or threaten her personal safety.
Gu Xuanye and Guan Zhiyuan, feeling inexplicably implied, fell into deep thought.
