Chapter 47 Greedy Wolf
At 03:30 in the morning, sirens sounded in the hallway, echoing harshly.
When Xiao Huaiyan came out of the bathroom at the end of the corridor, he found many patients gathered in the corridor.He woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, so he had to come here to take a shower for fear of disturbing Suling.
He heard someone say: "I found a bug by the lake, it's so scary. It was a heart-piercing one just now."
"Didn't you say that the guards have arrived?"
"Yeah, they are still patrolling, and they don't even know if anyone is missing."
Xiao Huaiyan opened the door, groping in the dark to wake up Su Ling, but found that there was no one in the warm blanket.
The window sill was half open, there was thunder and lightning outside, the hot and humid wind was blowing from the lake, and the rain was pouring down.
A rush of fire suddenly came up.Xiao Huaiyan didn't even change into the hospital gown, and ran out of the hospital with a gun in his windbreaker.
Before leaving the hall on the first floor, he was stopped by someone.
Si Jinyu opened her hands to block him, and said weakly, "It's too dangerous outside, you're not well, you can't go!"
He has a Phalaenopsis emblem pinned to his chest.
After a few seconds, Xiao Huaiyan remembered that this person's brother had died a while ago, probably due to PTSD.
"Get out of the way, it's none of your business."
Si Jinyu was extremely stubborn: "What's the use of you going now, it will only add chaos to Suling—"
Those indifferent peach blossom eyes glanced, and the tone was almost threatening: "Where is Suling?"
The surface of the lake was pitch black, with only the sound of torrential rain.Occasionally a bolt of lightning fell, illuminating the figure standing by the lake.
Su Ling was drenched all over, his hair stuck to his forehead, and the remaining blood on his face was quickly washed away by the rain.
The corpse of the mimic and the dark green slime are at the feet, dirty and cold, revealing a gloom.
Su Ling stood where he was, looking blankly at where the light source came from.
The patrol police who found here did not dare to approach, they looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what to do.
"Hey," one of them said boldly, "you, you put down your weapon, put your head in your hands, and walk over slowly."
Su Ling didn't move.
Just as the muzzle of the dark gun on the opposite side was about to be raised, someone pushed it down.
"Who are you?" The guard raised his head, his vision blurred by the rain.
The young man in hospital gown paused and said, "I am his guardian."
Under the light of several flashlights, Su Ling kept watching Xiao Huaiyan approaching him.The windbreaker hugged him, covering some of the coldness.
Just now some bloody fingers wiped the rain from his face.
Su Ling stared straight at him, and said in a low voice, "I thought you were gone."
These words made Xiao Huaiyan startled, and he pulled Su Ling into his arms.
"It's okay," Xiao Huaiyan lowered his voice, his bandage-wrapped left hand was drooping, and his right hand held his face comfortingly, "It's all over."
The rain between heaven and earth became heavier.
Su Ling saw that the peach blossom eyes were wet by the rain, and some emotions that he couldn't understand were growing crazily.He intuitively felt that Xiao Huaiyan seemed to be suffering, and he was trying his best to endure it.
Su Ling opened his mouth slightly, and the word "you" was blocked back.Those peach blossom eyes suddenly approached, and the familiar breath became clearer in the rain.
The water droplets slid down the bridge of Su Ling's nose, and stopped for a while when passing by the white jade-like cheeks, leaving broken crystals on the flushed lips.Like scattered stars, hiding untimely tremors.
At that moment, Xiao Huaiyan bowed his head in a strange way, wanting to kiss that drop of rain and dew.
And he did.
It was just a simple lip touch, and then they separated immediately.A short second is as long as the endless rain tonight.
It's just a little bit close to being close to each other.
Xiao Huaiyan turned his head, his ears turned red, and he spoke quickly: "I... didn't do it on purpose."
Just couldn't help it for a while.
Su Ling thought, why did he say this.What is not intentional.
It's not like it hasn't happened before, but compared to soft lips, the other Xiao Huaiyan prefers to kiss other places.
But at this moment, Xiao Huaiyan didn't dare to look at him as if he had done something wrong.Holding the sleeves of the windbreaker with his fingers stiffly, he quietly brought Su Ling to his side, covering him with himself.
The flash was turned on at this moment, passing through the fine rain to record this scene.
This photo was featured on the cover of Toyota Star's well-known local newspapers the next day, and it was hailed as "a very contagious moment of warmth after the war".No one knows who the two seemingly embracing lovers are, but countless versions of the story have inspired hearts as the Toyota star rebuilds.
At that time, Si Jinyu, who witnessed this scene from behind the crowd, turned cold. He clenched his fists, turned and left.Feiran held an umbrella and followed behind him.
In Xingyuan 2508, heavy rain swept through.
This is a long-abandoned transit station, near a fringe planet that few people visit.Many years ago, there was a hive here, and the mimics took over the place.Later, several wars took place here.After the Alliance completely wiped out the remnants with heavy weapons, no one came.
At this time, the rain washed away the ruins, and broken walls and utility poles were everywhere.
A woman took out her black-rimmed glasses and closed the window after putting them on, but the rain still seeped in, leaving mottled marks along the wall.
An old-fashioned clock stands on a wooden table.
"...It's time." The gentle man closed the book.
Across from him sat a very strong-looking man.The man had green stubble on his chin, and his tone was obviously more relaxed: "Don't worry. If there are any changes, the boss will definitely notify us in advance."
"I'm worried that there's too much monitoring outside," Xizi said in a calm tone, "the news from the old star has been completely blocked. I traced their information signal to a distant area, but it was interrupted before it arrived. Those bedbugs stretch their arms too far."
"Bug" is a reference to those who restored the empire more than ten years ago, as brutal and vicious as mimics.After they seized the military power and established their rule, they began to kill the supporters of the alliance on a large scale, which was even worse than that of the previous empire era.
Ou Chuchu's eyes brightened: "Could it be that someone is trying to find a way to contact Liberty Ship?"
"What's the use of that, no one has found the free ship for so many years. Even if that ship really entered the distant star sea, who can do it—" Xizi was suddenly taken aback.
The three looked at each other.
Lian Xiao slapped the table and cheered: "I knew it, the boss must have a way to find the distant Xinghai. He succeeded! Before he asked me where there are insect nests now, it must have something to do with this matter. Rounding up, I also have A credit."
Ou Chuchu frowned, and straightened a crooked painting on the wall.In the lower right corner of the painting, the place where the signature was signed can be barely seen.
——Toyota Star, District S, Daeda Newspapers Branch.
"...He is looking for the mimetic liquid," Ou Chuchu said, "I don't know what it has to do with what he is doing, but he seems to need it very much."
"Mimic fluid?" Xizi raised her head in disbelief.
"The Yushen Company managed to collect a little bit of this thing many years ago, and wanted to use it as a raw material for hallucinogens. But the samples that participated in it later showed a lot of permanent lung damage and organ failure. 90.00% of the eight Nobody lives past 30."
Ou Chuchu clearly remembered that this experiment was done in the northern galaxy, which happened to be her first small police station after graduation.Later, the lawsuit went all the way to the Ministry of Justice, and Yushen Company paid some money, so let's forget it.
Since then, mimetic fluid has also become a gradually forgotten rumor.
Until Xiao Huaiyan asked about her.
"...Is he crazy?!" Xizi blurted out, "Su Ling has been gone for so many years, can't he be more sober?"
Ou Chuchu pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit down. Just as he was about to say something, the dilapidated door was pushed open.
The man pulled down his cloak, revealing a pale and thin face.Although there are some small fresh wounds on the jaw, the whole person looks very embarrassed, but it does not hinder his beauty.
But obviously, this kind of "good-looking" is lifeless at all, as if it just crawled out of the dead.
"Boss?!" Lian Xiao burst into laughter immediately, "Why do you still look the same as before, you are not old at all."
Xiao Huaiyan didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder.He seemed to have just experienced a thrilling battle, and the rain fell to the ground along the black gloves.It's red water drops.
He placed a button on the wooden table and called up a holographic map.
"The southern galaxy is almost all their people, and these red-marked ports are not allowed to go. It is best to start directly from Toyota Star."
When he mentioned "Toyota Star", his eyes changed for a moment.
"Huh? But Toyota Star has nothing here."
"Underground in Area S," Xiao Huaiyan stared at the holographic map, "There is a fully automatic navigation ship from the Empire era, and the waterway can lead to M27. If the transfer station there is still available, you can move from M27 to the old star. "
Lian Xiao suddenly realized: "Understood, then let's go first, and if it works, I will leave a note for Frank's side."
He turned to think of something, and sighed: "Hey, if Toyota Star didn't hold onto it at the beginning and became like this, we wouldn't be able to use it, thanks to the time—"
He did not go on.
Slow as Lian Xiao, he also found that he had said the wrong thing.
Who didn't know that Suling was seriously injured in Toyota Star, which laid the groundwork for what happened later.Many people even talked about the main cause of that incident later, and they would say, "Because Suling hadn't fully recovered at that time, otherwise the ending would definitely be different."
Xiao Huaiyan still looked at the holographic map as if he didn't hear it.
Through those thin rays of light on the map, the painting hanging on the wall is crumbling.The outer picture frame has loosened a bit and is wobbling slightly.
However, in Xiao Huaiyan's sight, every time it swings, there will be a shadow left.
Countless shadows, layered on top of each other, are like a mirror leading to an infinite tunnel.
At this time, a thunder fell outside, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains.
Two seconds later, the world calmed down.
The picture frame was hanging smoothly on the wood-covered wall, and there was a lot of noise all around.
Xiao Huaiyan turned his head, and saw that the room with the same outline and layout had turned into a wing room in the tavern, and the drunkard's voice pierced through the curtain.
"Boss, why are you standing still?" Lian Xiao sat cross-legged, pointing his head up at the holographic map, "The unmanned route of Feilianxing does not need to check the ID, and it is really easy for us to get mixed up."
Xiao Huaiyan bypassed him and walked to the picture.
The original blurry oil painting disappeared and became an old newspaper from 12 years ago.The headline photo occupies a large space.
It was a rainy night, and two people who seemed to be hugging each other.It's a pity that the person in the hospital gown with his back turned just blocked the other person, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
But it was very atmospheric.
A severe headache hit at this moment, making Xiao Huaiyan feel a little dazed for a moment.
Memories that didn't belong to him reappeared.
In the heavy rain, for the first time in his life, he indulged himself to get close to Suling with a feeling of uneasiness.But after that brief involuntary kiss, the dazzled feeling stayed with him for a long time.
... The fragments of memories are so far away that they seem to be buried in the soil. After digging them out and wiping them, it still makes people palpitate.
The note next to the picture frame reads: To commemorate the victory of Toyota Star in 2496.Shot outside the No. [-] Hospital in District S.
So, Su Ling was not injured in Toyota Star, he was doing well, and he had never fought against the worm mother, so he should—
However, there was no change in Suling's later memories.
Xiao Huaiyan turned sideways and saw Ou Chuchu and the three of them looking at him.
Xi Zidu sighed cautiously: "Oh, fortunately, Yun Qing was sent to Jiu Xing first. If she can't contact me, she will definitely be worried."
As soon as he finished speaking, he met Xiao Huaiyan's gaze, and suddenly closed his mouth.
Xiao Huaiyan looked at them.The three of them also looked at him, their gradually lowered eyes were full of sadness, frustration, and sympathy.
……impossible.
how can that be.
Xiao Huaiyan slowly closed his eyes.Maybe it's just a little delayed, and some details haven't had time to fully change.
He must be in Suling, he might be waiting outside——
But when he opened his eyes, nothing had changed.
"It's time, we should go." Ou Chuchu reminded.
Lian Xiao opened the curtain, glanced at it and quickly shrank back, lowering his voice: "There are bedbugs outside, jump out of the window."
The person standing in front of the picture frame did not move.He coughed violently, his internal organs shrank into a ball.But he slowly wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.
When he raised his head again, those deeply sunken peach eyes were full of murderous intent.
