under the tower

Those people kept arguing until very late, and Ji Xi later slept in the armored car with his coat on.

The night was windy, and there was only one bonfire in the middle of the entire camp, and other armored vehicles parked in a circle around the fire.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent.

In fact, Ji Xi has always been in a light sleep state. The physical discomfort and the small space in the car prevented him from falling into a complete sleep. So, when he heard a car coming from a distance, it stopped at the When approached, he immediately woke up.

He looked at his watch subconsciously, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

He yawned, turned over on the cushion, and came up with a thought, wondering why someone was still wandering around in the mountains so late, and then continued to close his eyes, trying to cultivate sleepiness.

It seemed that someone got off that car, and the military boots made a slight crisp sound when they stepped on the grass. Then, the footsteps got closer and closer, and stopped outside the door of Ji Xi's car.

Ji Xi's whole body bounced up immediately.

Eye to eye with the person outside the window.

It turned out to be Yan Yi.

Yan Yi probably didn't expect that he was still awake, so he was slightly taken aback.

Ji Xi opened her mouth in surprise, subconsciously touched the ends of her hair curled up in sleep, moved lightly to the door, opened the car door a crack, and quietly slipped out sideways.

Yan Yi opened his arms, and before Ji Xi's feet landed on the ground, he was firmly caught by him and held in his arms.

Ji Xi put both hands on his shoulders, and asked softly in his ear: "Why did you come here?"

What he really wants to say most is, I miss you.

The words changed completely.

Yan Yi supported his leg with one hand, carried him to a place out of sight of others, and explained softly: "Something delayed me on the road, it wasn't on purpose."

Ji Xi buried him by his neck and took a deep breath, like a small animal, instinctively searching for a scent that would make her feel at ease.

He looks a little anxious.

Yan stroked his back with a big palm and asked, "What's wrong?"

With a soft voice, Ji Xi complained coquettishly: "It's uncomfortable, my back is uncomfortable, my back hurts, and my legs are sore."

After a whole day of high-intensity combat, he obviously showed nothing in front of others, but when he met Yan Yi, he started acting coquettishly again.

Yan Yi kissed his face soothingly, hugged him and sat down beside the tree trunk in the dark, let Ji Xi ride on him, rubbed his hand on Ji Xi's back, coaxed: "Where does it hurt? Can you press it?"

Ji Xi snorted in his nasal cavity, like a kitten with its belly turned up.

Yan Yi gently circled the tense and stiff muscles, massaging him.

"Is it better?"

"Um……"

"What else is uncomfortable?"

"Well, there are legs, inside the thighs, and, fart, butt."

Yan Yi rubbed the two lumps of plump soft flesh, and said in a low voice, "Here?"

Ji Xi felt a little comfortable being served by Yan Yi, he squinted his eyes, made a moaning sound from his throat, groped the man's lips, and pressed a wet and soft kiss as if rewarding him.

Yan Yi smiled unconsciously, he came all this way in the dark just to be a massage therapist for this little ancestor, and he was actually willing to do so.

He pressed the back of Ji Xi's head and deepened the kiss.

After the kiss was over, both of them were short of breath, Ji Xi pushed him softly: "Go... go to the car."

Yan Yi chuckled, with a hoarse voice: "Honey, there's someone in the car."

Ji Xi blinked, his mind seemed to be a little unclear, and he muttered: "Oh...then what should I do."

"I won't bully you anymore." Yan Yi smiled and kissed his forehead, "I'll take you back to sleep in the car, it's cold at night, don't catch a cold."

Ji Xi grabbed his sleeve and asked pitifully, "Are you leaving?"

"I'll stay here, and the car will be parked next to you." Yan Yiwen said, "You will be able to see me when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"That's it." Ji Xi bent the corners of his eyes, obviously quite satisfied with the answer, and his mood was as clear as the moonlight in an instant, "Okay, let you go for now."

Yan Yi supported him, pushed him back into the armored vehicle, and whispered in his ear: "Good night."

Ji Xi watched him close the door with bright eyes, waved to him slightly, and mouthed: "Good night."

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Ji Xi woke up.

He still clearly remembered what Yan Yi said last night, as long as he woke up, he would be able to see him.

He chewed this sentence with the back of his tongue for a long time, even thinking about it when he fell asleep.

This is actually unusual for them to get along with each other in the past. Only when Ji Xi first came to Yan's family, Yan Yi deliberately went out later in order to take care of him. I didn't see Yan Yi immediately after waking up in the morning.

Even after they finished the first time, what was left to him was an empty room and quilts that didn't leave any warmth.

Perhaps it was because Ji Xi completely left the familiar environment this time, and lived alone in the suburbs with a few strangers who were not friendly to him, and faced the attack of abnormal people at any time, he became extremely dependent on Yan Yi in his heart. The presence.

No, it didn't actually start this time. After Yan Yi opened his arms to him in the prison, the situation intensified out of control.

He got to the point where he would feel uneasy if he couldn't see Yan Yi for a second.

Ji Xi gently opened the car door. It was still early and most of the people were still asleep. He took a breath of the cool morning air in the mountains, and walked slowly to his armored vehicle. An identical car.

Ji Xi took a note of the number plate, then walked to the window to look around.

Their positions were reversed, yesterday it was Yan Yi standing outside looking at him like this, but today it was Ji Xi.

I don't know if it was some kind of wonderful telepathy, but Yan Yi opened his eyes very quickly, and he smiled at Ji Xi without any surprise, Ji Xi's heartbeat stopped for a beat.

The two of them just looked at each other through the car window, one was inside and the other was outside. The man's handsome face was like a gorgeous image in the luminous glass.

There was a strange throbbing feeling in Ji Xi's heart.

He wanted to touch the person inside the glass, but he couldn't bear to shatter that picture.

I don't know if it's Ji Xi's illusion, but since Yan Yi appeared, the officers who were laughing and playing around have become more restrained. The whole morning, the atmosphere can even be described as quite silent, even though each of them seemed to be just I didn't wake up, so I didn't feel like chatting.

When Peng Yuanzhou got off the car, Yan Yi was heating canned instant food by the fire, and Ji Xi sat cross-legged and waited obediently. When he saw the familiar figure, he staggered for a moment, and almost blurted out "Commander Yan".

Behind Peng Yuanzhou, Han Ming sat up with his head supported by an indescribable expression. His face was as pale as a ghost, and those who didn't know thought he had a nightmare.

Peng Yuanzhou and Han Ming didn't know each other very well before this mission, but they were nodding acquaintances. He asked casually, "What's wrong with you?"

Han Ming shook his head, his eyes drifted to Ji Xi who was sitting next to Yan Yi outside the window, his eyes could be described as frightened and shocked.

... who knows what he saw last night.

Damn, that's his boss! ! !

Peng Yuanzhou and the disheveled Han Ming got out of the car one after another, Ji Xi gave Han Ming a strange look, and Han Ming immediately avoided his sight.

Ji Xi:?

He didn't care too much about what Han Ming was going crazy today, anyway, the other party clearly showed feelings of disliking him from the beginning, and Ji Xi didn't necessarily like him very much.

After breakfast, they returned to the armored vehicle and started a new day of chasing and killing the mutants.

The abnormal people in the plains near the base were basically wiped out yesterday, and today their scope of action has penetrated deeper into the forest.

There are almost no traces of the activities of these abnormal people. No one knows why they gather together in large numbers. In the early years, some scientists proposed that abnormal people also have a "theory of evolution". They, like other creatures in nature, will also Survival of the fittest, the clumsy and slow-moving mutants were hunted and killed by humans first, while the remaining ones showed more suitable characteristics for survival. For example, they began to learn to move in groups and learn to live in mountains and forests that are more difficult for humans to reach. .

This kind of statement is considered extremely absurd by most people, because of a very simple reason, deformed people are not natural creatures at all, or even animals, they are just carrion dominated by some kind of vicious virus, they are deformed Things that are abnormal, distorted, and abnormal should not exist at all. Can this kind of thing be explained by the theory of "biology"?

The scientific community is still arguing about what kind of existence abnormal people are, and they have not been able to give a definite answer.

Indeed, biological evolution exists, natural selection, abnormal people are not biological, but viruses—

But it will vary.

Han Ming's condition is very bad today. He almost hit every shot yesterday, and even had time to taunt Ji Xi, but he can't count the number of times he missed this morning alone with ten fingers.

Peng Yuanzhou also found out, and he frowned: "Han Ming, what's the matter with you today?"

Han Ming's face was dark and he didn't say anything.

Ji Xi glanced at him, then turned his gaze back to the scope.

Among the trees, dense crowds of deformed people roared with their bloody mouths open, chasing closely behind the armored vehicle.

Ji Xi's eyes focused on their heads, trying not to look at the hideous and terrifying figures of those monsters.

To this day, when he sees those things, he still has uncontrollable stress-like nausea, burning anger and hatred.

All go to hell.

It was another shot, and a deformed man was shot through the head.

At that moment, an unusually huge body suddenly flashed in Ji Xi's peripheral vision. The thing was extremely fast, like a black phantom.

what is that? !

In the next second, the entire heavy-duty vehicle suddenly experienced a huge jolt, and Ji Xi was almost thrown out.

"Hey!" There was an extremely sharp hissing sound from the tires rubbing against the ground, and the three people in the back row hit the front seat. The sudden braking force was extremely strong. If they were not wearing seat belts, they might fly out of the window directly.

"Old Chen!" Han Ming yelled, covering his forehead, "What's wrong with you?!"

Unexpectedly, suddenly there was only silence in the air.

Ji Xi raised his head, only to hear Lao Chen tremblingly say in a weak voice: "...just, just now..."

Han Ming asked impatiently, "What happened just now?"

Old Chen swallowed his saliva: "... just now... a big monster appeared behind us, did you see it?"

"Ah? I didn't see anything, just a bunch of deformed people." Han Ming looked strange, "Then why did you brake?"

"It's not that I want to brake..."

At this moment, a burning smell filled the air.

Countless fragmented and rotten monster faces were pasted on the car windows. The dark and deformed man stretched out his scarlet fangs and stared at the four people in the car with greedy and ferocious eyes. The glass clattered.

Old Chen's trembling voice echoed in the howling and roaring of the beast.

"...The tire suddenly burst, we can't go..."

A small armored vehicle was instantly surrounded by countless hungry and deformed people.

At that moment, Ji Xi scanned the satellite cloud image displayed on the lit screen next to the driver's seat.

Tens of thousands of red dots will completely cover the pointers of their vehicles. Farther away, more dense red dots like blood are like a huge vortex, centered on the pointer in the center of the screen, heading towards the car at a terrifying speed. They loom.

The whole picture looks like a nest of flesh and blood in a chrysalis.

And they are the only bait among them.
