Chapter 47: The Action Begins
Shangguan Bingxue is cautious by nature. And she is especially wary of men, after all, in her life, she has received special treatment from men because of her appearance.
However, Bai Ze obviously had nothing to gain, and he might even die in this mission, but he kept his promise, which really caught her off guard. At the same time, it also made Shangguan Bingxue realize that maybe, just maybe, not all people, not even all men, would treat her the same way.
Of course, such an idea is still in its infancy, and it is only a fleeting thought. As for whether this idea will grow gradually, it is too early to say.
……
After staying in the building for a full three hours, Shangguan Bingxue's mana had recovered enough to participate in the next battle.
During these three hours, the four of them did nothing, only Chen He and Shangguan Bingxue chatted occasionally, and Liang Peng suddenly interrupted and said something that was not very meaningful and inconsequential.
As for Bai Ze, he just sat quietly in the corner, looking at a photo, with a look of longing, and no one could see it except Linglong sitting beside him.
In the photograph are four people standing, followed by an adult couple of eight or nine-year-old boys and girls. In the background is a beautiful view of the green forest, and the trees in the distance spread out like an endless sea.
This photo is a family photo of Bai Ze's parents, sister and himself. It was just his birthday, and his mother decided to go with the family to see the Great Wall and other historic sites. This is a precious memory, and Bai Ze has always carried this photo with him, because the distance between the university and his home is too long, and he often does not see his family.
Now, in this crazy world where trust and betrayal coexist more than ever, Bai Ze can only draw warmth from memories of the past that are not important to him, which he thinks is normal.
"Family?" Linglong asked even though she already knew the answer. After all, it was the first time in six days that she had seen such an expression on his face that had always been as hard as stone.
Bai Ze nodded in response. Although he and Linglong don't talk much, Bai Ze knows that she is by his side, and strangely, deep in his soul, he believes that Linglong will not betray him.
Although he and Linglong were usually silent, Bai Ze felt very comfortable, because before Soul Record came to this world, he had never been a person of many words.
The silence that usually surrounds him did not make him uncomfortable at all, but extremely relaxed.
"My mana is almost fully recovered."
Shangguan Bingxue's cold voice pulled Bai Ze back from his thoughts. When he lifted his face, the longing gaze disappeared in an instant, replaced by the indifferent poker face.
"If you're ready, we can get started now." Shangguan Bingxue stared at him and said.
“…… Let's get started now. There is no point in wasting more time, and further procrastination may make things more difficult than they already are. Bai Ze stood up and sighed softly and silently.
Shangguan Bingxue and the others nodded, indicating that they were just as he thought, and also stood up.
Bai Ze seemed to want something, hesitated for a moment, but walked out of the window without saying a word.
Before he could walk away, Chen He's voice sounded behind him: "Hey, Bai Ze!" ”
Bai Ze turned around and looked at him with inquiring eyes.
"Be careful, if the zombies are too strong, run. We'll try again another day. Chen He nodded and looked at him with a serious expression.
Bai Ze was slightly startled, nodded, and said in a clear voice: "It's up to you next." ”
Chen He gave him a thumbs up, as if to ask him to completely reassure himself. Seeing this, Bai Ze no longer stumbled, jumped out of the window, turned into a gust of wind, and rushed towards the girls' dormitory building a few streets away.
After Bai Ze left, Liang Peng raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen He, and said with a smile: "I thought you didn't like that guy very much?" Aren't you two rivals in love? Hahahaha! ”
Chen He frowned, looked at him with some annoyance, and said slowly: "The reason why I don't like him very much is because of his previous brutality, he is not my rival, and besides, I just don't like Bai Ze's cruelty, it doesn't mean that I hate him." Isn't it natural to wish him good luck? At the end of the day, he's still our ally. ”
"Tsk, what a boring guy." Liang Peng thought that Chen He would blush with shyness after his feelings were exposed, but seeing that the handsome archer reacted normally and calmly, he finally shrugged his shoulders and smacked his tongue.
Shangguan Bingxue looked at him coldly, and said in a cold voice: "You have time to talk nonsense, why don't you also get ready?" ”
Liang Peng snorted, carried a sledgehammer on his shoulder, and walked towards the exit. He didn't dare to jump out of the window with such a heavy weight, otherwise he might break his legs in order to show off.
After Liang Peng disappeared, Shangguan Bingxue picked up what appeared to be a rope, tied it to the top of the icicle, and then froze it, connecting the rope and the icicle together.
This rope is actually carbon fiber and is taken from gym equipment. It is particularly load-bearing, very durable under pressure, and is a very good flexible material that is able to withstand sudden pulls. It is commonly used in the manufacture of boats, automobiles, aircraft parts, bicycle hoops, etc. While quality depends on quantity, the carbon fiber ropes used by Shangguan Ice & Snow are very strong and flexible.
Seeing that there were only the two of them, Chen He decided to break the silence: "Bingxue, what Liang Peng said just now...... About the opponent in ......"
"Focus." Shangguan Bingxue looked out the window and reminded, "Your help is very important here, you can't let your guard down no matter what." ”
