Volume 1: The Choice of Fate Chapter 23. A kiss
Gently swiping the room card in the living room, Zhang He, who came back from the bar, walked in, but then he found that Mu Xiaoxiao was sitting on the sofa, and at that moment, Zhang He stood in the living room stunned.
At this time, Mu Xiaoxiao was wearing a casual T-shirt and shorts under the slightly dim light, her hair was a little wet, as if she had just taken a bath, and the long hair that had been coiled up during training was naturally sprinkled, and the living room was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
What Zhang He didn't expect was that he and Mu Xiaoxiao would be alone in the living room in the dead of night in such a quiet night, although as roommates, this kind of opportunity would inevitably come across, but Zhang He never thought that it would be so soon.
Since Zhang He returned to training and ran away with the help of Mu Xiaoxiao's clearance, he and Mu Xiaoxiao have never spoken a word, and at this time, he doesn't know how to speak.
I don't even know why, there is still a trace of panic in Zhang He's heart.
But if Zhang He likes Mu Xiaoxiao?
Zhang He didn't think so.
Because in Zhang He's opinion, he doesn't have that kind of heart-warming feeling between men and women for Mu Xiaoxiao, just a simple existence of gratitude, but why did he see Mu Xiaoxiao and panic in his heart? Zhang He didn't know how to define it.
Through the display screen on the half-face mask, Zhang He stared at Mu Xiaoxiao sitting on the sofa.
It is undeniable that in Zhang He's mind, Mu Xiaoxiao is very good-looking, and when he was in the bar, he even compared Mu Xiaoxiao with women such as Mira, a new genetic human, and even gave Mu Xiaoxiao a higher score in private.
But looking good doesn't mean that you have to have the feeling between lovers, at least in Zhang He's opinion, these are completely different things.
However, just as Zhang He was standing in the living room in a daze, Mu Xiaoxiao responded first.
Sniffing the air lightly, Mu Xiaoxiao's willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "Have you drunk?" ”
Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao's question, Zhang He suddenly didn't know how to answer, so he nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang He walked towards his suite, without even glancing at Mu Xiaoxiao.
It's just that when Zhang He walked to the door, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly got up and said, "Hey! Wait! ”
Subconsciously, Zhang He turned around......
But Zhang He didn't expect that at the moment he turned around, Mu Xiaoxiao actually leaned over, and at this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao and Zhang He looked at each other in front of the door, and the distance between their faces was even less than ten centimeters.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and knocked on the mask on Zhang He's face, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Didn't your parents teach you that you can't just thank young women with hugs?" ”
In the next second, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, because Zhang He had come all the way, she knew best what Zhang He had experienced, and for Zhang He, talking about his mother was undoubtedly an act of rubbing salt on his wounds.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ......" Mu Xiaoxiao subconsciously apologized.
Zhang He shook his head lightly and said: "It's okay, what has happened will inevitably be mentioned, you can't always live in memories, hatred lives in your heart, it's enough to turn it into motivation!" ”
However, just as Zhang He's voice fell, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly kissed Zhang He's lips.
Feeling the softness on his lips, Zhang He froze in place for a while like a machine that had lost power, this was the first time he had kissed the opposite sex in eighteen years.
After a long time, the two parted lips, but Mu Xiaoxiao sighed lightly: "I hate that others take advantage of me, so I often have to take it back!" After speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and rushed into his suite like a wind and closed the door.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was hiding in his suite, suddenly frowned and sighed regretfully, and used a voice that only he could hear: "Why am I so stupid, I still hate that others take advantage of me, and I want to take it back, what the hell is this logic!" Mu Xiaoxiao, Mu Xiaoxiao, are you crazy! ”
Looking at the empty living room, feeling the residual warmth on his lips, and listening to the chaotic beating of his heart, Zhang He was stunned in place and did not move for a long time.
Suddenly, her voice came from Mu Xiaoxiao's room: "Zhang He, rest early, good night!" Nothing happened just now, see you tomorrow! After speaking, Zhang He's ears clearly heard the sound of her running to the bedroom, and then. Zhang He also mechanically turned around and walked into his room......
This night is destined to be confused......
This night is destined to be crazy......
This night, the male and female roommates who shared the living room and slept in separate rooms invariably suffered from insomnia......
……
The next morning, when Zhang He opened the door and was about to go to the training room to report, he found that Mu Xiaoxiao had left early, and subconsciously, Zhang He exhaled relaxedly.
It wasn't until he walked into the training room that Zhang He found Mu Xiaoxiao's figure, but she seemed to be fine, and smiled at herself.
Time passed minute by minute, during which Mu Xiaoxiao and Zhang He did not look at each other again, and when the time for the gathering was about to arrive, Zheng Zhong walked into the room with small steps, and naturally pasted it to Zhang He's side.
Some people may question the loose queue of Zhang He and others, thinking that this seriously humiliates the spirit and spirit training of the soldiers.
But in fact, in today's post-apocalyptic environment, the Devourer, as the strongest force of mankind, no longer needs a neat queue in the face of war, and the Devourer pays more attention to squad cooperation or individual combat ability.
You must know that their opponent is not a human like them, but an abyssal beast that is at least 2 meters above and comes from a strange creature under the abyss on the surface, so the training of the Devourer is more particular about the combination of actual combat.
What's more, under the shroud of the identity of becoming a candidate for reinforcement, it does not mean that the candidates are only 18 years old, like Mu Xiaoxiao has been working for several years and has reached the age of 24, and Ma Jie has reached the age of 26, of which Ma Jie used to be the king of soldiers in the reinforcement army.
Therefore, to some extent, the Devourer is more like a powerful individual ability, and the way of natural training is not the same as that of ordinary soldiers.
Gently elbowed Zhang He, Zheng Zhong's face was full of loyalty but revealed a lewd smile: "Tell you something dry, I heard that today I want to learn the control of strength, and prepare for the basic skills of controlling the body and abilities in the future!" ”
Hearing Zheng Zhong's words, Zhang He was puzzled: "Control of power? ”
Zheng Zhong nodded: "Yes!" Learning the martial arts that have been lost in the ancient kingdoms of the East, I heard that in the era when there were no abyssal beasts, martial arts was a very powerful fighting skill, and it was a competitive skill against the same kind of powerhouses! There seems to be some kind of formula, pay attention to the use of qi and send and receive freely and so on, anyway, it's very powerful, after all, what the devourer has to learn, can it be bad? ”
Following Zheng Zhong's words, Zhang He suddenly remembered the scene when he and Chi Jiufeng were fighting alone in the cage where the Abyss Beast was imprisoned.
Chi Jiufeng always said that he had brute force and would not use it.
Even no matter how he feints, it seems that Chi Jiufeng can easily predict it, and it was only at this time that Zhang He understood that perhaps it was precisely because Chi Jiufeng had learned martial arts and mastered the trajectory of qi that he would show a one-sided defeat.
Looking at Zhang He's stunned appearance, Zheng Zhong chuckled: "What? Interested in martial arts? I don't just know the phased study plan and learning content, but I also know how to better review in private time, how about it, I want to know? ”
Hearing Zheng Zhong's words, Zhang He asked suspiciously, "What's how?" ”
I saw Zheng Zhong show a lewd smile again: "How about making a small deal with me?" I can provide you with this information free of charge! ”
"And what do you need me to do?"
Zheng Zhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's very simple, don't bother me, just listen to me chat!" ”
"That's all?" Zhang He said subconsciously.
"That's all, how?" Zheng Zhong nodded seriously.
"Haven't I listened to you talk a lot?"
"Please, I'm not stupid, do you think I can't see that you're just more introverted? To be honest, I regret coming here to prove myself, but now that I think about it, I might as well live a chic dandy life! Zheng Zhong suddenly sighed.
Then he continued: "In the Devourer base, everyone is struggling to transform into a Devourer, but I am not such a character, so for those who are strong, I can't be their friend, and you are a special recruit, it is definitely a sure thing for you to become a Devourer, and you will not have the pressure of general recruitment!" Naturally, there is no need to work as hard as the general recruitment! ”
Looking at Zheng Zhong's expectant eyes, Zhang He wanted to tell him that he was now a devourer, and he was also an unprecedented devourer who had been injected with an excessive alienation source liquid.
But Zhang He knew that he couldn't say anything, because his very existence belonged to a secret plan.
What's more, Mu Xiaoxiao also warned himself that he could not reveal his identity before mastering his absolute strength, otherwise he would most likely take his sister Zhang Luoyi to the old path of his adoptive mother Zhang Qiulian.
So no matter what, Zhang He's life in the future must be forbearing, low-key, and waiting for an opportunity to accumulate and soar.
"Perhaps, while waiting for this opportunity, Zheng Zhong's channel can help me shorten my time a lot!" Zhang He thought to himself.
Immediately, Zhang He nodded at Zheng Zhong: "There is no deal, in fact, listening to you chatting is also gaining knowledge, so we are already friends, otherwise how could you stand by my side as soon as you come!" ”
Seeing Zhang He's smile that only showed half of his face, Zheng Zhong suddenly laughed happily......
However, what Zhang He didn't know was that this smile might just be worth taking advantage of for Zhang He, so Zhang He smiled, but for Zheng Zhong, it was the happiest and most heartfelt smile since he voluntarily came to the Devourer Base for half a year.
Maybe other people can't understand Zheng Zhong's psychology, but Zheng Zhong himself knows very well that a person who is used to living a rich life, eating and waiting for death every day, and being a playboy as his goal, has a hot mind and plunges into the group of hard-working people, and that feeling of being out of place is the biggest torment for him.
