He came from the bell tonight

Chapter 45 Greedy Wolf

The wasteland is littered with the remains of mimics.But there are still hordes of hunting bugs roaming the dry plains.

Fortunately, after the hives disappeared, their numbers became limited.

"...Report, there are still [-] left in S area, and it is expected to be cleared as soon as possible." Ou Chuchu sat in the tin car and reported to the main control room opposite the terminal.

"Five hundred?" Wang Yunxi's voice was full of worry.

"Yeah," Frank took a sip of brandy, took out a playing card and slapped it on the small table, "it's only five hundred, and it's going to be over in an hour."

When Lian Xiao opened the car door, he saw Xizi reaching out to Frank for money.The latter refused to admit that he had lost the game for a long time.

"This strong man, didn't he say he would swear to the death to defend the dignity of human beings, why did he come back?" Xi Zidu observed and found that he was unharmed.

Lian Xiao sat down and just happened to block the car door.

"I'm like a fool staying on the battlefield, even Zheng Kanzhi reacts faster than me," he hunched his back in frustration, and couldn't help cursing, "Especially that kid Zheng Kanzhi can cooperate with Ao Lai, every time they kill One is still counting. Humiliate me in front of my face!"

Not only Ao Lai, but Yun Qing and Fei Ran... are almost going crazy.

"It's not scientific at all. They seem to be born to fight bugs, just like playing a game of elimination." Lian Xiao turned around and muttered.

But when seeing them at close range, they still couldn't feel any killing intent.

Frank poured him a small glass of wine: "There are too many unscientific things, and it's okay to kill bugs. Except for mimics, no one is born to kill. Humanoid weapons are very fond of elimination games."

"What's that for?"

Frank raised his glass drunkenly, and touched Lian Xiao: "For love and peace."

"I still have to find a serious job for Ao Lai in the future. Oh yes, let him work as a bartender, he should make a lot of money, hehe."

Lian Xiao was silent for a while, and suddenly felt that the sky was getting dark.

...Is it going to rain?

He looked up.A golden eye protruded from the roof of the car, facing him directly.

Even Xiao didn't dare to move.

The gun was behind him, one meter away from him.

The sharp tentacles shattered the glass.

The sound of playing cards in the car suddenly fell silent.

However, before the mimic could extend its second tentacles, it was dragged and thrown tens of meters away.The light blade passed through its body and almost became several pieces.

That thin figure joined the battlefield without hesitation.

Lian Xiao involuntarily covered his eyes.

There was even more silence in the car.

After a while, Ou Chuchu said awkwardly: "Fortunately, Su Ling is here."

Lian Xiao fell back into the carriage, puzzled: "Why do I feel that Su Ling is particularly fierce today... that's the kind that can be solved with a single knife. He gestured several times, which made me jump in fear."

Several people looked at each other, and Xizi said, "Is the boss awake?"

"No, still in a coma." Ou Chuchu replied.

"Oh, it might be soon." Frank suddenly realized, "Su Ling was invited to be a rescuer, and he had to go to the hospital to hurry up. It's normal to be anxious."

Several tentacles were thrown under the rock.Su Ling stood on the edge of the boulder, facing the eye-catching mimics without any expression.

Soon, he jumped into the bug swarm.

The deeper you go, the more obvious the gathering of bugs becomes.

Although these things are far from his opponents, when a swarm of bees pounces on them, those sticky secretions are hard to avoid.

When Su Ling solved a bunch of bugs again, he turned a corner and suddenly saw a striking figure.

Very close to Feiran were a few ordinary villagers surrounded by mimetic insects.But just as Feiran rushed towards them, a scream came.

"Feiran! Save me!"

Controlled by the contract, Fei Ran turned around and ran away without looking back.

Su Ling passed him by, and understood through a glance.

"Please." Feiran exhorted worriedly.

It doesn't take much effort to deal with these bugs.But two of those villagers have been injured, and I'm afraid they won't last long.

Suling contacted the medical team waiting not far away, and when he was about to clear up the final mess, a little girl hugged his trouser legs.

"Brother, will we die here?" The little girl raised her head, her face was full of tears.

"No," Su Ling lowered his voice, looking at the setting sun on the wasteland, "it's all over."

"……real?"

"Really." Su Ling promised.

Hearing what he said, the villagers finally let go of their hearts.Someone cried out looking at the fields that no longer existed.

a mess.But just be alive.

Feiran dealt with two or three bugs not far away, and slowly walked towards them.He carried the sleeping Si Jinyu on his back, walking lightly as if afraid of waking him up.

Black clouds gradually obscured the setting sun.

A heavy rain is coming.

"drop--"

The signs shown on the monitor have begun to recover slowly.

Su Ling changed into clean clothes.He stood outside the door, through the half-open door, he could hear Xiao Huaiyan's voice, pale and tired.

"...I was there when I woke up. But I was having some hallucinations. I seemed to see something."

"It was a pitch-black cosmic space, filled with net-like mucous membranes, and traces of the mimetic mucus drying up. They seem to be very short of resources. Each swarm has a specially bred giant mimetic."

Wang Yunxi and an investigator looked at each other, and said in unison: "Is it the mother of insects?"

"Yes, but the worm mother is difficult to move. Therefore, there is also a giant worm that is responsible for guarding it, and will participate in the battle when necessary. Other than that, they are all ordinary mimics."

"Therefore, that worm nest may be a path to another universe. As long as the worm mother is killed, the passage will automatically close."

Wang Yunxi said: "The big bug we saw in the temple on Hongsha Mountain should be a guard bug. It seems to be very hungry, and it is desperately eating, maybe it is to occupy the territory faster."

"That's all we want to know. Thank you, because of you, our understanding of mimics has gone a step further," the investigator said.

"You're welcome. If I have any other information, I will contact the Science Department as soon as possible." Xiao Huaiyan adjusted the pillow, and his eyes fell outside the half-open door.

Before leaving, Wang Yunxi said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you are not an embroidered pillow, you are quite capable."

Xiao Huaiyan caught a glimpse of the name tag on her clothes, although she didn't quite understand why she was an embroidered pillow, she still expressed politeness slowly: "Thank you, Team Wang, for your compliment."

Wang Yunxi paused when he raised his footsteps, and looked back at him one more time.He had clearly called himself "Sheriff" before.I don't know why, but now he really looks like a lazy and arrogant young man, as if he doesn't care about anything.

Completely different from before.

But she didn't delve into it. Thinking about it, it's normal for these thoughtful little bastards to have a few faces.

After she left, Su Ling walked in and closed the curtain of the ward for him.

"Su Ling, come here." Xiao Huaiyan said sullenly.

Su Ling walked to his side, and gave him a nutritional supplement according to the doctor's instructions.

Still dewy.

Xiao Huaiyan seemed dissatisfied, but he still took it.At the same time, he grabbed Su Ling's wrist.He hadn't recovered yet, and his strength wasn't very strong, so he pushed up Su Ling's sleeve.

Bruises remained next to wounds that hadn't fully healed.For Su Ling, wounds are easy to heal, but bruises are difficult to remove.

The large piece on the forearm is even too shocking.

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Huaiyan asked.

"It doesn't hurt."

Su Ling withdrew his hand and pulled down his sleeves as if nothing had happened: "You have been in a coma for three days. The alliance army has arrived."

"They asked you to help again?"

"I voluntarily." Su Ling lowered his eyes, staring at Xiao Huaiyan's left shoulder.It was almost pierced there, and the bandage had to be changed many times.

Xiao Huaiyan noticed his gaze, and he lacked confidence: "I, too, voluntarily."

After a long time, Xiao Huaiyan said again: "Did I be taken away from the bell tower by mimics? You came here because of me, and you have been injured because of me. If you don't have this contract, you will be fine. "

Su Ling was puzzled, the person lying on the hospital bed was obviously Xiao Huaiyan himself.

He lowered his voice, gasped and coughed.

"The doctor said that you accidentally inhaled the mucus of the mimetic insect. Later, the lung function may be damaged."

What's more serious is that if the liquid of this mimetic insect is sufficient, it will cause systemic organ failure.The human body simply cannot bear it.

"It's so serious," Xiao Huaiyan said lightly, with the corners of his lips curled up palely, "But I almost thought I was really going to die."

Su Ling knew which moment he was talking about.He won't forget.

"I won't let you die." Su Ling said.

Xiao Huaiyan suddenly fell silent.He didn't seem to know what to say, so he took a bite of the nutritional supplement.

Bah, it's really unpalatable.

But when he was about to throw it away, he felt Su Ling's gaze, so he could only hold it in his hand, and slowly squeezed out a little.

"You can only eat this for the time being." Su Ling said, leveling the backrest for him.

It's almost one o'clock in the morning.The lights outside are still brightly lit, and the wounded are constantly being transported here.

"What about you, don't you need to go tonight?" Xiao Huaiyan asked.

Su Ling walked around to the other side of the bed and took off his coat.

"No. The doctor said someone must be with you."

Xiao Huaiyan suddenly realized that this is a double bed.

But he immediately avoided his sight, and his voice was weak: "This is not very good."

"I mean, if I snore, it will affect your sleep."

"No." Su Ling simply turned off the light, his voice was soft in the dark room.

Xiao Huaiyan thought for a long time, then turned around as if he had compromised, and turned his back to Su Ling, not knowing who he was explaining to.

"That's right. The hospital is full of wounded people now, and there are not many rooms left. The situation in wartime is special, so let's make do."

But when he really noticed that the other side of the bed was sinking, Xiao Huaiyan moved to the side of the bed again.The crisp smell was too close.

The soft hair was about to touch his back.

Xiao Huaiyan opened his eyes, both sleepy and afraid to sleep.He was afraid that he would hallucinate again.

Yes, in that nasty worm nest, within a few minutes of dizziness, he not only saw visions about the hive universe, but also something else for a few seconds at the end, like a few frames inserted abruptly.

He saw himself and Su Ling on a sailing ship, and the entire glass was covered with bright stars.

Su Ling took the initiative to sit on him, and when he kissed, he was moved and emotional.

There were fragmented spots of light in those light-colored eyes, and the whole person was shaken to pieces, falling into his bosom like a piece of light feather.

He made Suling dirty.he realized.

That unusually real segment came to an abrupt end, but it lingered in the middle of the night.

"Don't do this next time." Su Ling's voice came from behind, cold and ethereal, clean.

Xiao Huaiyan didn't know what he was referring to for a moment, but he answered "Yes" and closed his eyes tightly.

It wasn't until the breathing behind his back gradually stabilized that Su Ling turned over.The golden pocket watch was lying in the palm of his hand, and the hands were still slowly going round and round.

He remembered Xiao Huaiyan saying: "Killing the insect mother will end all of this."

"Nobody knows them better than I do."

"I can protect you too."

A strange and secret sadness gradually spread deep in his body, making him curl up slowly, and moved a little closer to Xiao Huaiyan.The familiar breath is like a drum beating at this moment.

He didn't know what it was, but he seemed close to losing something very important.

The only thing he was sure of was that he didn't want Xiao Huaiyan to do such a thing again.
