Chapter 48 Elpis

After getting out of the water, Yu Huai helped Mrs. Coolidge to get ashore.

"Oh, these white sages bloom so well, I haven't seen them for a long time, these tenacious little guys." Mrs. Coolidge shook her wet curly hair, looking at the blooming sages in her garden, There was an emotion called nostalgia in his eyes.

These white sage flowers are indeed blooming beautifully, but Yu Huai's attention is not on them at all.

He turned to look at the water, and raised his head to Qi.

Xiang Qi's hair was originally a bit light gray-black, but after wetting it with water, it became pure black, and it stuck to his forehead obediently. Crystal water droplets fell from the tip of his hair and onto his eyelashes, forming a large drop of water.

Xiang Qi opened his eyes, and the water droplets rolled down, sliding down his stiff outline.

Those blue eyes were covered with a layer of water vapor, and all the sharpness was blurred, giving people an illusion of tenderness for a while.

But it's just an illusion.

Xiang Qili landed on the shore, and tugged at the clothes sticking to his body indifferently.

On the forearm of his right hand, the bandage that had been bandaged not long ago was also wet, but there was no blood stain, Yu Huai was a little relieved.

He turned his head and stopped looking at Qi.

"Brother Xiang, should I say it or not, your figure is really good." Ke Le put back the protective equipment that he took off before going into the water, and his envious eyes almost burned a hole in the goggles.

"Is there?" Xiang Qi's lips curled up, and he looked at Yu Huai.

Yu Huai didn't look at him at all.

"Let's put it this way, although our rescue team has a lot of people in good shape, if you are included in the comparison, you are also one of the best!"

As he spoke, Ke Le squeezed the soft flesh around his waist through the thick protective clothing, and when he looked towards Qi again, tears of regret flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, pack up and leave quickly." Yu Huai couldn't stand his embarrassing appearance, and urged with a cold face.

Ke Le smacked it twice for the last time. After making up his mind to lose weight for the first time, he finally looked away to check whether the equipment on his body had been soaked in water.

Yu Huai calmly took out the pistol, poured out a little bit of water from the holster, and was looking for something dry to wipe the gun, when a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind.

"Here." Xiang Qi took out a thin towel from his trouser pocket like magic, and it looked like he had taken it from the spaceship.

His trouser pockets zippered well, and the towel was dry and soft.

Yu Huai glanced back at him.

Xiang Qi was like a water ghost that just crawled out of the water, dripping water all over his body, but his blue eyes were washed extraordinarily bright by the clear stream water.

The black short sleeves cling to Xiang Qi's body, outlining almost perfect muscle lines.

The figure is really good.

"Keep it for yourself." Yu Huai looked away calmly again.

The protective clothing he was wearing had good water repellency, but the surface of the clothes was wet and would dry quickly.

It seems that Xiang Qi still needs a little more.

The hand outstretched to Qi did not take back, he used the other hand to wipe off the water droplets hanging on his face, and chuckled lightly: "I don't need it, after all, I am in such a good shape, it doesn't matter if I get wet."

From Xiang Qi's words, Yu Huai heard the meaning of begging for beatings, this person is really not ashamed.

Under the protective mask, Yu Huai's ears felt warm.

He pursed his lips, raised his hand to take Xiang Qi's towel, and handed it to Mrs. Coolidge: "Wipe it off."

"Thank you." Mrs. Coolidge took it with a smile.

Xiang Qi's expression suddenly turned a little cold, looking at the towel in Mrs. Coolidge's hand, he looked a little unhappy.

Sensing Xiang Qi's slight displeasure, Yu Huai's originally pursed mouth curved slightly happily.

childish.

After waiting for a few minutes, everyone packed up and walked towards the laboratory where Leon was.

They didn't expect Leon to be in the Beilu base. When Xiang Qi led them to land near here, everyone was very surprised.

Yu Huai also knew that there was nothing to hide at this moment, so he told them the situation at Beilu Base on the way here.

Including the "pretend to play ghosts" religion led by Bishop Simon, and the "nothing" god they believe in.

Even the learned Mrs. Coolidge said that she had never seen such a religion.

With a sigh, she gave Bishop Simon a meaningful compliment, calling him "awesome".

Bishop Simon was an ordinary member of many survivors, some were smarter than him, and some were more powerful than him.

However, he single-handedly created such a religion in the deserted land, uniting all those who were smarter and stronger than him.

Sometimes religion is not only a belief, but also a powerful means of ruling, especially in the current situation.

The familiar three-story building—the former Vavilov Research Institute and the current Elpis Laboratory—is getting closer.

Mrs. Coolidge suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Will he agree to our request?" She muttered to herself, looking at the small building in front of her with emotion.

This wasn't her first visit to the small building, and even before the launch of the Dawn, she was a regular visitor here because of Dr. Molly.

But after just two years, this place made her feel a little strange.

"He is a good boy. Although he has done wrong things, I believe he is a good boy." Mrs. Coolidge sighed very low, as if trying to persuade herself.

After a while, her eyes became firm, and she continued to walk towards the door of the laboratory.

Mrs. Coolidge proposed to come to Leon, in fact, to persuade him to continue the unfinished vaccine development work of Dr. Yu and Dr. Mo.

That work was clearly nearing completion, but it was destroyed by a terrorist attack planned by Xiaoxiang and others, even taking the lives of Yu Ting and Molly.

Now, apart from Leon, I am afraid that there is no one in the world who is capable of continuing this work.

For the hope of all mankind, Mrs. Coolidge can only put all her eggs in one basket and come to Leon to take a gamble.
