After the group returned to the island, they were more or less damaged to their bodies, so after a brief report on the battle, they boarded Towrope as soon as possible and returned to Harbor.

——

When their respective Ark compartments were in place, their consciousness returned to their respective bodies.

"Phew, I'm finally back alive." Zhao Zihan took off his helmet with relief and let out a long sigh of relief.

"yes, it's really thrilling this time." Saying that, Shangguan Jing also took off this "heavy" helmet.

"I'll go first." Li Moxin, who had completely lost his fighting spirit, did not take off his helmet and left the preparation room.

"What's wrong with him? It's been like this from Earth to back. Shangguan Jing asked.

"Alas, I guess our 'big hero' who hasn't awakened yet" has been hit." Zhao Zihan gently combed his hair, "Don't pay attention to him, with his character, it is estimated that he will figure it out in two days." ”

Shangguan Jing looked at Zhao Zihan and then at the door of the preparation room.

"Can you really figure it out?" Shangguan Jing couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, it's a big deal I'll take the time to comfort him. If he continues to be so decadent, I will have no one to lose. Zhao Zihan smiled and stood up in response, and then also left the preparation room.

Shangguan Jing looked at Zhao Zihan immediately, and his face was a little more helpless.

Just as she was about to leave, she inadvertently noticed Xu Linfeng who was holding her helmet in a daze.

"Lin Feng." Shangguan Jing shouted.

"Huh? What's wrong? Shangguan. Xu Linfeng suddenly came back to his senses.

Shangguan Jing didn't say anything, and simply said hello: "I'll go first, you can also go and report the battle damage of GWL to Chaos Kun as soon as possible." ”

"Well, I'll go." Xu Linfeng responded with a smile.

Shangguan Jing also responded with a smile, and then left the preparation room as well.

Then, Xu Linfeng also left the preparation room thoughtfully.

——

At that observation deck, Bai Qi, who had regained consciousness, silently roasted in the corner in front of the window, looking at the earth in front of him.

His mind was still thinking about what GWL had said to him.

It was the first time he had been questioned like that by a man.

——

"How did you lure that guy out?" GWL asked after the BIA and the others left.

RBS then responded simply: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"I guess you brought more than just the plasma, right?" GWL said word for word, "If there really were SS-class Leviathans of this size nearby, the island wouldn't have been unspotted for so long."

And how could these corpses on the ground attract the Leviathan who lived under such a hard surface. ”

RBS was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Then why are you suspicious of me?" ”

"Where did you hide when you first left?" GWL asked rhetorically.

RBS did not speak again.

Immediately afterward, GWL added, "Why did you take SQE to the rooftop to hide when it hadn't been seen in these places at all?"

If you had been hiding in a house before, how could you show up so in time for the end of the first battle?

There's only one possibility, and that's that you've been peeking into the battlefield from a place where no one can notice, releasing the inducer at the right time. Then spur SQE to smash your silo and get more Leviathan to create the reason for the SS-class to appear. ”

RBS remained silent.

GWL, who had already received the answer, then asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

......

——

A series of crisp footsteps dragged Bai Qi back from his memory.

He followed the sound and saw Shangguan Jing holding the connecting helmet, slowly walking to the acrylic window, smiling and looking at the earth outside the window.

"Shangguan Jing?" Bai Qi, who was hiding in the shadows, came out coldly.

"Ahh Shangguan Jing, who was taken aback, shouted.

At this time, Bai Qi slowly walked out of the darkness.

"Huh, Bai Qi senior, you scared me to death." Shangguan Jing patted his chest and said.

"How do you know here?" Bai Qi asked.

"I ......" Shangguan Jing's brain was running rapidly: "I slept that night, I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk, and then I found here." ”

Bai Qi didn't speak, just looked at Shangguan Jing quietly.

"What's wrong? Predecessor. Shangguan Jing asked, "I, shouldn't I be here?" ”

After a moment, Bai Qi shook his head and turned to look at the earth outside the window.

"It's beautiful, Senpai." Shangguan Jing smiled and looked out the window and said.

"The battlefield, no matter how beautiful it is, is also a battlefield." Bai Qi responded coldly.

Shangguan Jing complained helplessly: "Senior, you are really good at ruining the atmosphere." ”

"I've been alone for a long time, and I'm not very good at dealing with people." Bai Qi responded.

"Didn't the seniors have any friends?" Shangguan Jing asked curiously.

Bai Qi shook his head: "I've always been alone since before, because it can be easier when doing this task." ”

"Can one make it easier?" Shangguan Jing asked puzzled.

"You don't have to cooperate with anyone, it's good to be alone." Bai Qi explained.

"So, it won't be too difficult to complete the task alone, right?" Shangguan Jing asked.

Bai Qi did not answer.

Shangguan Jing saw that Bai Qi didn't answer, so he simply changed the topic and said, "The senior is really deep. Isn't it like the predecessor after connecting to the Ark for a long time? ”

"I don't know, I've been using Ark for missions for a long time, so I've always had this personality." Bai Qi responded.

"Then the senior must be very powerful." Shangguan Jing said suddenly.

"Why do you ask?" Bai Qi asked rhetorically.

"Because my seniors are very stable, just like one of my team members." Shangguan Jing said, "However, the seniors are a little gentler than him."

That guy is simply an existence that makes people not feel good at a glance. ”

Although Bai Qi knew that Shangguan Jing was talking about himself, he was not angry.

"By the way, senior, do you have a communicator?" Shangguan Jing asked suddenly.

Bai Qi looked at Shangguan Jing, then took out his communicator and handed it to Shangguan Jing.

"Borrow it." Shangguan Jing took the communicator, then put down his helmet and took out his communicator.

She operated directly back and forth between the two communicators, and finally returned the white communicators.

"What did you do?" Bai Qi asked, holding his communicator.

Shangguan Jing replied with a smile: "I have already connected my contact path to the communicator of my senior, and I can contact my predecessor in the future." ”

"Why?" Bai Qi asked.

Shangguan Jing replied very reasonably: "Of course I want to be friends with my seniors!" In this way, the seniors will no longer be alone in the future, and they can have someone to chat with when they encounter unhappy things. ”

"Friends?" Bai Qi was a little sensitive to this term.

"Hmm." Shangguan Jing nodded vigorously, "In the future, I will be a friend of my predecessors, please advise!" ”

Shangguan Jing stretched out his right hand.

Bai Qi looked at Shangguan Jing's outstretched hand and did not react.

After a while, Shangguan Jing awkwardly withdrew his hand and said, "It seems that seniors don't like to have contact with people...... No, it doesn't matter, I don't mind. ”

Bai Qi did not speak.

"Then, senior, I'll go back first, just contact me if you have something." After speaking, Shangguan Jing picked up his helmet and hurriedly ran away.

Bai Qi looked at Shangguan Jing who was leaving, then looked at his right hand, and couldn't help but ask himself, "What was she doing just now?" ”

——

At this time, Shangguan Jing was walking quickly on the way back to the dormitory with his helmet in his arms, and he was still ashamed of his "stupid" behavior just now.

After returning to the dormitory, Shangguan Jing put his helmet on the table and buried his head in the pillow.

"Ahhh What am I doing? Shangguan Jing finally couldn't help but vent.

She felt that what she had just done was a little too much, and even for a moment, she had the idea of inviting Bai Qi to join her team.

She knew very well that her treatment of Bai Qi was definitely not just the courtesy that a junior should have to his seniors.

But she also knows very well that this feeling does not mean that she likes Bai Qi.

It's just that Bai Qi makes her feel a little familiar, and the words that come out of his mouth without warmth make her feel more distressed.

Coupled with the absolute cold-blooded RBS, Bai Qi is even more overwhelming.

It's like a piece of ice about to melt, and it feels cold in your hand, but you can't bear to let it melt.

"Ahh Thinking of this, Shangguan Jing buried her head deeper again.

——

I don't know how long it took, but Bai Qi also returned to the dormitory.

Because he applied to Lin Xuan to eat ice cream cones.

"Bai Qi, welcome back!" Lin Xuan, who was already waiting in the dormitory, held a red ice cream cone and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Linxuan." Bai Qi stepped forward and stretched out his hand to prepare the cone.

But the moment he stretched out his hand, he remembered that Shangguan Jing had made the same action to himself just now.

"Come, hurry up and eat, it will melt in a while." Lin Xuan handed the cone in her hand to Bai Qi's hand.

"Hmm." Bai Qi didn't think much about it, took the cone, and licked it gently.

But after licking two bites, he seemed to feel a little strange taste: "This cone of ice cream tastes so strange." ”

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "I changed your taste today." This one is strawberry flavored, and I think it's very similar to your Ark color, so I picked this flavor for you. ”

"Why?" Bai Qi asked.

"Think of it as a reward for annihilating an SS-class Leviathan today." Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Shiro nodded reassuringly, and then continued to eat this ice cream cone with a different taste.

"Speaking of which, it's kind of embarrassing for you that bastard to let you do this, right?" Lin Xuan suddenly asked with concern.

"Luckily, that Leviathan is still within range I can beat, so it's not too difficult." Bai Qi replied truthfully.
