When I woke up the next day, it was already dark outside the window.

Xu Qinglang had gradually gotten used to this, and when Jiang Yao slept beside him, the frequency of his difficulty falling asleep due to headaches, or waking up often in the middle of the night, had been reduced to a level that he had never dared to think about before.

Before the person in his arms woke up, Xu Qinglang didn't get up in a hurry.

Jiang Jin's whole body shrunk in his arms, his head buried in his shoulder and neck, the tip of his upturned nose gently pressed against his neck, and his soft breathing stirred up a fine itching feeling.

The long soft hair was scattered behind the young man, and a few strands were wrapped around Xu Qinglang's fingertips at some point, and a few strands rubbed against the side of his face, making the tip of his nose itch slightly.

Xu Qinglang tilted his head slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

In the next second, his whole body suddenly froze.

The young man in his arms seemed to be awakened by his sideways movements, and he also tilted his head slightly, and his soft lips happened to rub against his Adam's apple.

The young man opened his eyes in a daze, as if he had not yet woken up, and suddenly opened his mouth and bit lightly on the bulging Adam's apple on his lips.

Xu Qinglang's fingers curled tightly, raised his hand to press the young man's head, and pressed his head against his shoulder, avoiding the overly sensitive Adam's apple area.

"Jiang Jin?" He spoke, his voice still hoarse as he had just woken up, "Are you awake?" ”

The head buried in his shoulders moved up and down, and the long hair rubbed against his neck and shoulders, and the itching almost jumped directly to the bottom of his heart.

The Siren of the Siren at night has changed back into Jiang Jiao.

Thinking of what happened last night, Xu Qinglang's eyes darkened, and his mood was not very bright.

If he could, he would have preferred that Jiang Jin could be the most authentic Siren in front of him, like last night, instead of wearing a thick mask called Jiang Jin for camouflage like now.

But Xu Qinglang knew very well that in Jiang Jin's cognition, he didn't know that the other party was the Siren Siren at this time, so if he rashly made a strange request......

He couldn't be sure what kind of reaction Jiang Jin would have, let alone guarantee that the other party would continue to stay by his side.

Xu Qinglang lowered his eyes, his face was not obvious, but his mood was surging very intensely.

A sneer with a slight mockery suddenly came from his mind: [Xu Qinglang, you are really hypocritical. 】

Xu Zhimo didn't know when he connected to Xu Qinglang's spiritual power again, and sensed what he was thinking.

Xu Qinglang ignored him.

[Let me guess, what did you do with him last night under my identity? Xu Zhimo's voice was low, so that people couldn't hear his emotions, [How many words did you say from his mouth? How many things did 'Xu Qinglang' dare not do with him? 】

Xu Qinglang's eyes dimmed, and his voice seemed to be a warning: [Xu Zhimo! 】

[You want to ask, how do I know about this?] Xu Zhimo chuckled again, [Xu Qinglang, I know you too well. Don't forget, even if I don't want to admit it, we're the same person at the end of the day, and I know better than anyone what kind of person you are. 】

Xu Qinglang seemed to sneer at him: [So what? So what? 】

Xu Zhimo sneered and said softly: [You said, if Jiang Jian knew that you were not as gentle as you seemed on the surface, would he still treat you with the same attitude as before? 】

[Xu Qinglang, do you really think that Jiang Jin will like you who is so hypocritical and despicable? 】

After saying this, Xu Zhimo didn't say anything more, as if he took the initiative to cut off the connection with Xu Qinglang.

Xu Qinglang lowered his eyes, and the darkness under his eyes could barely be hidden.

The soft touch on his lips recalled Xu Qinglang's thoughts. He lowered his eyes and looked at the young man in his arms with some concern.

Jiang Jin's lips opened and closed: What's wrong with you?

"It's fine."

Xu Qinglang said softly, hiding the darkness at the bottom of his eyes, "It may be that yesterday's mental power was excessively consumed, and he hasn't fully recovered, just take a rest." ”

Hearing this, the worry in Jiang Jin's eyes did not subside, but became a little stronger.

He raised his hand and touched Xu Qinglang's forehead, suddenly raised his head, and dropped a kiss on the other party's lips.

A few wisps of spiritual power that were so subtle that they were almost imperceptible transmitted from between the lips of the two of them that quickly closed and separated, and passed through Xu Qinglang's body.

If it weren't for the experience of spiritual power transmission last night, Xu Qinglang might not have noticed the transmission of these wisps of spiritual power at all.

Jiang Jin, this is not ...... Do you want to secretly pass on some of his spiritual power for nourishment?

Sensing Jiang Jin's intentions, Xu Qinglang's heart softened, but what Xu Zhimo had just said to him suddenly appeared in his mind.

That softness vanishes and is replaced by a lower, deeper emotion.

Seeing that Xu Qinglang seemed to be a little distracted, Jiang Jin reached out and poked the side of his face lightly: Do you feel better?

Xu Qinglang came back to his senses, suppressed the dull emotions in his heart, hooked his lips and said, "Well, it's much better." ”

The young man bent his eyes and gave him an extraordinarily soft smile in return.

*

After the sea monster was repulsed, the two ships set out on their way back to base.

A few days later, the ship arrived at the base pier.

/>

Before getting off the boat, Xu Qinglang got another cloak with a hood from nowhere and draped it on Jiang Jin's body.

When the two got off the boat, they happened to meet Chen Qianhua, who was walking down from the big ship at the base.

Compared with the state when he first came out of the base, Chen Qianhua's appearance at this time looked extremely embarrassed, his face was pale and his eyes were black, as if he had not rested well, and he also looked like he was sick and unwell.

Seeing Jiang Jian beside Xu Qinglang, Chen Qianhua's eyes shrank suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Why are you here?" ”

Xu Qinglang asked him rhetorically: "My team members, why can't you be here?" ”

Chen Qianhua's tone was close to questioning: "He obviously didn't follow you on the boat at the beginning, how can he appear on your ship now?" ”

Xu Qinglang's face did not change, and said calmly: "Professor Chen, you have not been on my ship the whole time, how do you know that he did not travel with us?" ”

Chen Qianhua's voice was suffocated, he really couldn't come up with any evidence.

At this moment, there was a strange pain in the hand that he had been hiding under the sleeve.

Chen Qianhua's face changed, his cuffs tightened, and his whole person tensed.

In the past few days of the return trip, Chen Qianhua has suffered more than anyone else. The tiny wound on the tip of his finger did not heal as he had hoped, but gradually revealed a slight black and gray color.

As a researcher who works with mutant viruses day and night, Chen knows better than anyone else

their own situation.

He was infected.

But he is not willing to accept this fact, just like other infected people who have been infected but have not lost their human consciousness.

Chen Qianhua concealed the fact that he was infected.

Maybe he wanted to continue to survive for a few more days, or maybe he still had a little luck, Chen Qianhua didn't tell anyone about it.

But after all, there is a moment when paper can't hold the fire.

After the people on the two ships gathered, they lined up at the gate of the base and waited for testing.

Chen Qianhua was full of anxiety, and wanted to stand at the end of the line, but was pulled by someone he knew to stand in the middle of the team.

Coincidentally, there were only two people between Xu Qinglang and him.

The speed of the test was very fast, and everyone in front of them all passed the test, and soon it was Chen Qianhua's turn.

Chen Qianhua stretched out his uninjured hand and handed it to the inspector, his face pretending to be calm, but his fingertips couldn't stop trembling.

With a tick, the detection instrument flashed red.

The inspector's face changed: "The test failed, you are infected." ”

Before he finished speaking, Chen Qianhua turned around sharply and pounced on Xu Qinglang and Jiang Jian in the team behind him.

Xu Qinglang made a mistake and took Jiang Jin to avoid Chen Qianhua's figure.

Chen Qianhua knelt down in front of Xu Qinglang with a puff: "Xu Qinglang, you are obviously injured, I watched him hurt you with a knife, there is a virus on the knife, you are infected, but why are you okay?" Have you found a cure for your infection? Can you save me, save me? ”

Xu Qinglang glanced at him and said softly, "Professor Chen, I am not infected because the knife only cut through my clothes, but did not scratch me. ”

"I don't believe it, you must be lying to me, you must be unwilling to save me-" Chen Qianhua choked up, "Xu Qinglang, I was wrong before, can you forgive me?" For the sake of our previous relationship, please save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die-"

At the moment when you really face death, even those who once despised death can no longer maintain half a minute of calm.

Chen Qianhua knelt and moved closer to Xu Qinglang, reaching out to grab his clothes, but Xu Qinglang dodged sideways.

"I'm sorry, Professor Chen." Xu Qinglang sighed and said, "I really can't do anything now, you should know very well that my experiment has not been successful so far." ”

His words seemed to have completely shattered Chen Qianhua's last hope.

Chen Qianhua lowered his head and laughed twice, and suddenly looked up at Jiang Yao, who was protected by Xu Qinglang, his eyes were red, and his tone was vicious: "This is your revenge, right?" You hate what I did to you, that's why you're here to get revenge on me, don't you?! ”

Xu Qinglang frowned and asked him, "What did you do?" ”

Chen Qianhua laughed, pointed at Jiang Jian with a crazy face and said, "You are a siren siren, you are a mutant species!" Not human! Can't let him into the human base! No, you can't-"

With a 'bang', Chen Qianhua's chest suddenly exploded with blood, and he fell to the ground and twitched silently for a moment, and then there was no longer life.

Xu Qinglang's heart was shocked, and before his thoughts could react, his body had already subconsciously made movements. He leaned sideways in front of Jiang Yao, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and whispered, "Don't look." ”

The shot was not fired by the doorman, but by another figure emerging from the base.

The man was wearing a white coat, with the same logo on his chest as Chen Qianhua's, and his eyes were extremely cold when he looked at Chen Qianhua, who was already dead.

It is the director of Chen Qianhua's research institute, Xu Yu.

"I'm sorry." Xu Yu said, "My disobedient team member has caused you trouble. ”

Obviously, these words were said to the guards and inspectors, but Xu Yu's gaze swept over Xu Qinglang and fell on Jiang Yu behind him.!
