In the no-man's corner next to a restaurant, a ray of light fell from the sky and quickly fell to the ground, condensing the figure of Duan Zilian.

"Ho...... Ho...... Ho ......"

As soon as he appeared, Duan Zilian hunched his waist and almost fell to the ground because he couldn't stand steadily, holding on to the wall next to him with both hands, breathing in the cold air, panting like a cow.

Although he was exhausted and tired to death, Duan Zilian did not sweat all over his body this time, on the contrary, he felt very cold, as if his whole body was about to freeze, his face was terrifyingly white, and his lips were even purple from the cold.

"It's cold...... Didn't you completely eliminate the xenobiotic cold? Panting, Duan Zi was so cold that he shivered, and he couldn't even speak.

When he was fighting as Nexus just now, because of the limited time, Duan Zilian didn't have time to eliminate all the cold air of the xenobiotic beast, anyway, there was only a little cold air left, and it didn't have any effect.

But I didn't expect that after the transformation back, the little cold air remaining in the body would have such power, Duan Zilian was so cold that he was trembling, as if his whole body was going to be frozen, he lost part of his consciousness, and he couldn't even feel the pain in his body.

Ten minutes have passed, and the little cold air in the body has finally dissipated, and Duan Zilian gradually recovered, feeling less cold, as if the frozen body was slowly regaining consciousness, and his face gradually returned to normal.

And after the body temperature returned to normal and the body regained consciousness, Duan Zilian immediately felt the pain in his body, and was attacked by the crab xenomorph beast several times during the battle, so that some parts such as his waist, abdomen, and chest on the left side were in severe pain.

However, these are within the limits of tolerance.

Even, compared to all the previous battles, Duan Zilian felt that the damage suffered in this battle was relatively light, even if he didn't have to go to the Stone Wing for treatment in the first place, it would not have a very serious impact.

"I guess I'm lucky that I only suffered this kind of damage in this battle. Compared to before, my strength has indeed improved a lot, and I will continue to improve. Duan Zi muttered to himself.

Every time he transforms into Nexus to fight, Duan Zilian can feel that his strength will improve compared to the last time.

It can be seen that through fighting, the power of light can indeed be gradually enhanced, and the synchronization rate of Duan Zilian and light will gradually increase.

"It's just...... Although the strength has been improving, why can't it change form? Duan Zilian frowned, thoughtful and confused.

This is a problem that has always plagued Duan Zilian, he obviously feels that he can change his form and release his true power, but he has never succeeded.

He was completely confused about this, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Is there something missing? Or is it something else? If Noah could wake up at this time, it should be able to answer my doubts......" Duan Zi sighed helplessly, although in his current state, he could also destroy the Xenomorph, but if he could change his form, the battle might be easier.

Moreover, you can also open up a subspace called Meta Domain, and pull the Xenomorphs into that subspace to fight, so that the losses can be minimized.

"Forget it, don't care about these for now......" I really couldn't figure it out, Duan Zilian shook his head and directly left this question behind.

With a sigh of relief, Duan Zilian straightened up, endured the pain in his body, pretended to be nothing, and walked out of this no-man's corner.

Entering the restaurant next to him, Duan Zilian pushed the door and entered a private room.

The classmates who were eating, drinking, and chatting in the box saw that Duan Zilian was back, so they asked Duan Zilian to sit down quickly and continue.

"I said I was just going out for a few minutes, but you went out for more than ten minutes, and I thought you couldn't drink, so you ran away." The squad leader said jokingly, making everyone else laugh.

Duan Zilian, who was sitting in the seat, also smiled: "Although I don't drink very well, I can't drink just a little bit." ”

"It's good if you can continue to drink, then you can punish yourself first, just now you suddenly ran out, but we are all worried." As he spoke, the squad leader poured wine directly into Duan Zilian's cup, not giving Duan Zilian a chance to refuse at all.

"Okay then......" Duan Zi smiled helplessly and drank the wine in the cup in one go.

"Pity, are you alright? Looks like you're tired, huh? Xu Ying next to her noticed the look of exhaustion in Duan Zilian's eyes.

"Maybe I rested late last night, so I'm a little tired, but it's okay." Duan Zilian waved his hand and ate with vegetables.

In fact, transforming into Nexus and fighting Xenobiotic will put a very large burden on the body, and although it is relieved now, the mental exhaustion is not so easy to remove.

Seriously, if he could, Duan Zilian wanted to fall asleep, but there was no way, the dinner had just begun, and it hadn't ended yet, so he could only force himself up and continue to hold on.

Xu Ying nodded, because a girl next to her was talking to her, she didn't continue to ask, but the doubts in her eyes never dissipated.

A group of people ate and drank, joked, and chatted about all kinds of things, but they all tacitly didn't ask Duan Zilian why he ran out because of something urgent.

The happy hour always passed very quickly, and soon everyone ate from noon to afternoon.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ying looked at the time and was about to get up and leave: "I'm sorry, it's not early, I have to go back." ”

"Huh? Are you going back now? Everyone else expressed surprise.

"Well, because unknown monsters attack people from time to time at night, my family hasn't allowed me to stay outside at night recently." Xu Ying explained.

"That's it......" The squad leader nodded, then thought for a while, and then said: "Then let's stop here for this dinner, it's time to prepare for the evening, and everyone should go back early, don't stay outside, so as not to have any accidents." ”

The squad leader's suggestion was approved by everyone, and everyone began to pack their things.

Outside the restaurant, so they all got together and said goodbye to each other and so on.

Suddenly, a girl hugged Xu Ying and said to Duan Zilian with a smile: "By the way, Duan Zilian, Xu Ying's home is quite far from here, she goes back alone, I am a little worried, or you can send her back." ”

"Huh?" Duan Zilian didn't react and was stunned for a moment.

Xu Ying couldn't help but be stunned.

After coming back to her senses, Duan Zilian was a little speechless, and it could be seen that the girl was still misunderstanding her relationship with Xu Ying because of that rumor, so she would say such a thing.

Speechless for a while, Duan Zilian just wanted to say something, but at the same time, Cui Kairui also came over and patted Duan Zilian's shoulder with a smile: "That's right, Pity, it's really a little unsafe for the Cultural Committee to go back alone, you can send her." ”

"Huh?" Duan Zipian looked at Cui Kairui suspiciously, it stands to reason that Cui Kairui didn't believe that rumor anymore, so why did he persuade himself to send Xu Ying back?

"This ...... No need, I'll pay attention to safety myself......" Xu Ying didn't want to be so troublesome.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the girl hugged Xu Ying and whispered in Xu Ying's ear: "Xu Ying, I'm helping you create an opportunity, you have to seize this opportunity." Don't thank me, just go back and invite me to a meal. ”

"......" Xu Ying suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Ahem, so be it, then it's up to everyone to decide whether to let Duan Zipian take pity on you and send Xu Ying back." The girl said with a grin.

Duan Zilian: "......"

"Okay, okay, don't bother, I see." sighed, seeing that the girl was really determined to send Xu Ying home by herself, Duan Zi nodded helplessly.

Moreover, just like what the girl said, if Xu Ying goes back alone, it is indeed a little unsafe, and Duan Zipian is also a little uneasy.

"Hehe, then Xu Ying will be handed over to you, you must send her back safely." As she spoke, the girl pushed Xu Ying in front of Duan Zilian.

"Hmm." Duan Zi responded weakly, and Xu Ying said: "Then let's go, by the way, where are you going?" ”

"Go this way." Saying goodbye to everyone, Xu Ying walked out.

Duan Zilian immediately followed and followed alongside.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." After walking silently for a while, Xu Ying suddenly apologized to Duan Zilian.

Duan Zilian replied casually: "It's okay, it's not a trouble, I just don't know when the classmates in the class will be able to clear up their misunderstanding of us." ”

"Otherwise, you don't have to send me, I can go back by myself." Xu Ying continued.

"Forget it, I've promised people, then I'll send you home safely, just eat a little bit, you can walk a little longer and digest it." Duan Zilian directly rejected Xu Ying's proposal.

After a pause, Duan Zilian asked, "By the way, how do you go back, do you take a taxi, subway, or bus?" ”

"Just take the bus and wait at the waiting station in front."

"Hmm."

After speaking, the two fell silent, silently walked to the waiting station in front, and after waiting for a while, Xu Ying said "The car is coming", and then got on the bus with Duan Zilian.

Because it was the end of work in the afternoon, there were quite a lot of passengers in the car, and the seats were all full, Duan Zilian and Xu Ying came to the innermost position, standing in the aisle, grabbing the handrail.

The car started, and Xu Ying, who was behind, didn't stand firmly, and suddenly stumbled and hit Duan Zilian's back.

"I'm sorry." Xu Ying hurriedly apologized, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

"It's fine." Duan Zi said a word without replying, his tone was flat, but his face instantly turned a little pale.

Because Xu Ying hit like this, the wound on Duan Zilian's left side of her waist and abdomen hit the seat next to her, so the sudden sharp pain made Duan Zilian's face turn pale, and he grabbed the armrest hard.

And because Xu Ying was standing behind Duan Zilian, she didn't notice Duan Zilian's abnormality.

Nothing to say all the way.
