under the tower

"It's time to eat." Yan Yi's voice came from afar, Ji Xi came back to his senses, Yan Yi had already come out of the kitchen, he was wearing a floral bib, and the smell of oily smoke came over his face.

Yan Yi squatted down by the sofa and looked at him, he found that Ji Xi's eyebrows were frowning unconsciously, and the fingers hanging by his side moved a little.

Ji Xi also looked at him, their faces were so close that the tips of their noses could almost touch each other.From Ji Xi's perspective, he could clearly see the distinct eyelashes and the high bridge of the nose of the man in front of him.

I have to say, even with Ji Xi's critical eyes, this is a very handsome man.

"Is something on my face?"

Ji Xi touched his upper lip and lower lip, mouthing the word "no", but made no sound.

It's not that he hurt his vocal cords, it's just that he's lazy and doesn't want to talk.

Yan Yi didn't know whether he understood it or not, so he asked, "Eat first?"

Ji Xi pursed her lips, this action means "hmm".

Yan Yi took away the pillow under Ji Xi, put one arm over to cushion his lower back, and put the other hand through his knee, and hugged Ji Xi easily.

At this time, Ji Xi slowly raised one hand, and his cold fingers slowly rubbed along Yan Yi's chest to the back of the man's neck.

"what happened?"

Ji Xi rubbed the small piece of warm skin with her fingertips, then twirled the knot with her fingers and pulled, the drawstring of the floral bib was loosened and fell to the floor.

The man quietly stared at the apron that fell on the ground, and looked at Ji Xi with doubtful eyes.

Ji Xi sniffed his sleeve in disgust, and pushed Yan Yi slightly with the strength he had.

"Smells." He condescended to say three words.

Yan Yi looked at the pink floral apron lying quietly on the ground, without any unnecessary expression on his face, then he didn't say anything, and stepped over with Ji Xi in his arms.

On the dining table were two dishes, two bowls of white rice, and a pot of soup that was as empty as shabu-shabu.

Yan Yi pulled the stool away and sat him down, Ji Xi didn't want to move, and was so happy that he lay in his arms as if he was paralyzed.

Yan took a bite and fed him a bite.

Specially bought eggs are made into scrambled eggs. The golden eggs are stirred evenly. The fried eggs are fragrant and tender. They are still steaming just out of the pan. Finally, they are topped with soy sauce. The fresh and tender eggs are full of fragrance and the color is even more attractive. Incomparable.

A plate of scrambled eggs ended up in Ji Xi's stomach.

He ate until his stomach was a little full, and his full stomach brought an unusually fulfilling sense of satisfaction.

That night Ji Xi started to have a fever.

Yan's family only had one plank bed, and Ji Xi could only sleep on the sofa at night.Yan gave him his quilt and fan—the weather was very hot, and the faint chirping of cicadas could be heard outside the closed window.

Ji Xi was drenched in sweat, sometimes he seemed to be in a hot oil pan, and sometimes he seemed to have fallen into a three-foot ice cave, but he didn't make too much noise, only a slightly heavy panting sound echoed in the silence in the room.

The door of Yan's bedroom was open, and he could actually hear Ji Xi as long as he called.

Ji Xi lost consciousness, he was very uncomfortable, in the dream, he felt that he had become a vine, growing and spreading in the endless darkness, leaving a scorching heat everywhere he went, burning and glowing, It forms a group of small light spots, and finally the countless passing tiny light spots gather and form into a nascent sun.

Its daybreak.

Ji Xi felt a big hand gently caressing her forehead.

He opened his eyes again.

The man's handsome face faced the morning light, half-bright and half-dark.

Yan Yi's tall body was squatting by the sofa, one hand was still on his forehead and he didn't have time to take it back. Ji Xi spent a second observing his behavior and came to the conclusion that he probably wanted to use this primitive method Check if you have a fever.

Ji Xi didn't see what he looked like now, but he knew it must be terrible, he felt a burst of exhaustion from his bones, creaking deep in his body.

This feeling made him feel familiar.

The tallest building in the entire Shencheng base is called the Pearl Tower, which is the central hub of the Shencheng base government and Ji Xi's home.

The whole Pearl Tower took 20 years to build. Its shape is pointed and conical. The area at the bottom is about the size of a small town. The whole tower has 210 floors.

It is such a tower, Ji Xi has jumped from the highest point, twice.

The first time was when he was ten years old, when the servants at home were not paying attention, he smashed the floor-to-ceiling windows and jumped down without hesitation, because he had never left the small room on the top floor since he was born, he was very impressed He has no concept of death and danger yet, he just wants to leave that place.

At the moment the glass shattered, the alarm of the entire tower was triggered to the highest level, and the base's most elite special forces swarmed in from all directions. Ji Xi even watched this scene from the height of the fall, just like watching a slow-motion movie.

Human beings like ants shrink into small black dots and gather towards the Pearl Tower.

Then, he landed.

No one can stop this process, even if the gods come down to earth, it is impossible to bring the dead back to life, sometimes life is so wonderful.

But he survived.

When he touched the ground, he could only become a lump of flesh, Ji Xi didn't feel much pain, in fact, he had no consciousness at all, no sensation.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt the most intense and unbearable pain in his life. It was a kind of severe pain where all limbs were dismantled and smashed, and then all of them surged in an instant.

His vocal cords, facial muscles, and all the organs used to express this extreme pain were damaged. His instinctive desire to survive was stimulated to the maximum, and the nerves expressing pain were like rubber bands stretched to the extreme, constantly moving left and right. It was tearing at his sanity, day after day, every second seemed like years.

He was a puddle of mud, lying silent and motionless in the sterile medical cabin, with tubes, needles and sensor pads all over his body.

He saw his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were all waiting outside the isolation room, and their eyes without exception were full of vicissitudes and emotions that he couldn't understand.

During that time, he would have a high fever whenever he fell asleep, and would experience the same dream every night.

Three months later, Ji Xi was pushed out of the treatment cabin. He looked the same as before, only a lot thinner and paler.

After the end of the world, human physique has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and medical technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Common colds will no longer affect human beings. They are healthier, stronger, and live longer.

Ji Xi has never been sick since she was a child. Just like how humans would be vaccinated decades ago, human babies with conditions in the base are generally vaccinated with growth hormone after birth to promote growth and development and make their bodies stronger.

The birth rate has been dropping sharply in recent years, and they cannot bear the heavy price of any newborn dying.

It was growth hormone that saved Ji Xi.

Of course, the growth hormone injected by Ji Xi after the injury was not the kind used on a large scale by the base. SZ-127, the top scientific research achievement of Shencheng Base in recent years, the ultimate growth factor preparation, as the name suggests, is used to accelerate the reproduction and division of human cells, and under ideal conditions, it can even achieve the effect similar to that of a newborn embryo.

In other words, they used this growth hormone to make Ji Xi grow back a body.

However, the scope of use of SZ-127 is extremely harsh, because the drug is too effective, it will cause cardiac arrest if you are not careful, and the price is extremely expensive, so SZ-127 was immediately classified as a category A of the scientific research institute after it was developed. Drugs are banned, and Ji Xi is the only living user.

After Ji Xi was discharged from the hospital, he still lived in the tower, and was sometimes allowed to go to the nearby towns for a walk on the premise of receiving adequate protection, as his family gave him the biggest compromise after that incident.

Then, when Ji Xi was 20 years old, he once again inevitably jumped down from the sky.

This time he didn't do it voluntarily. The mutants occupied the entire Pearl Tower, and it was impossible for him to break out. At that moment, he didn't think too much about it. He just instinctively chose a way out, and maybe the miracle would happen again.

This time he was lucky, he landed on the non-slip edge outside the Pearl Tower, not far from downstairs is Ji's apron.

With the heavy impact, the familiar pain surfaced, Ji Xi knew very clearly that, just like back then, his bones and internal organs were almost broken and displaced, but this time his brain was not damaged at all, he was not Lost consciousness for a moment, he was always very conscious.

So he jumped again without hesitation, and landed on the open space on the tarmac.Fortunately, his helicopter is iris and fingerprint authentication, without equipment security lock, it was a birthday present from his then great-grandfather Ji Xuan.

He drove the helicopter all the way north, and he remembered that Ji Xuan said intermittently before his death——

Let him go to the North City military to find a man named "Wu Qianshu" and ask him for help.

The deformed man in Shencheng began to track him after he found out that he had escaped. He had no time to hesitate. The huge pain in his body tormented him, but he had to concentrate all his energy. As fragile as ever, if you are not careful, you will simply snap off.

When Yan Yi picked him up, he still had the last string in his mind.

SZ-127 is a drug that is strictly forbidden to be used. Ji Xi knew from an early age that he could not enter any strange treatment center or scientific research institute without confirming its safety, and he could not let anyone get his living cells.In Shencheng, Ji's family can cover the sky with one hand, while in Beicheng, he will be sent to the trial court, or tied to the experimental bed for eternity to be slaughtered.

"Yan Yi." He suddenly called out. In the past three days, he rarely spoke to Yan Yi. This was the first time he called Yan Yi by his name.

Yan Yi is wrapping up his bib and making breakfast in the kitchen. There are still two eggs left from the eggs he bought yesterday, so he is making steamed eggs today.

Probably to prevent the oil fumes from choking him again, Yan Yi closed the kitchen door, so he didn't hear Ji Xi call him.

The man was beating the egg wash in the bowl, leaving him with a busy back view. Yan Yi has an excellent figure, with straight and broad shoulders. He is wearing a tattered undershirt and vest today, and his well-defined muscles stand out , There are little beads of sweat hanging on the wheat-colored skin.

After a while, Yanyi turned off the fire, came out with a plate, and then took out two steaming bowls. Afterwards, he took off his bib as if thinking of something, casually lifted up the hem of his undershirt and wiped it. Khan, the strong lower abdomen and neat abdominal muscles flashed in front of Ji Xi's eyes.

As usual, Yan Yi came over and knelt down, reaching out to hug him.

"Yan Yi." Ji Xi called again, these two words were twisted between his lips and tongue, and spit out mellowly.

For a moment, Yan Yi showed a somewhat dazed expression, and then looked at him quietly.

"I want to tell you something very important."

Yan Yi, who had no expression on his face, was stunned for a moment, and there was a little panic in his voice that ordinary people couldn't detect: "What's wrong with you?"

"...Don't tell me about the funeral, I won't listen." He said a series of words in a cold voice, this is definitely the most Ji Xi said in one breath after meeting him.

"You can't use my sofa as your coffin, or I will curse you for the rest of your life."
