The second zombie test field was quickly delineated. After feeding a large number of first-level crystal nuclei, they began to feed zombies with second-level nuclei, selectively killed some zombies, and fed higher-level zombies with these zombie energies. Just like cutting branches to make the number more robust.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. After speaking, Li Xuanyuan and Hou Ying seemed to get along more smoothly.
He trusted Hou Ying’s self-control and adjustment ability as well as his commitment, so his attitude towards him is no different from that of Jiang Tao and others. He no longer has to be careful to guard against his unruly actions or frown in dissatisfaction because of his small actions and gaze. He is very satisfied with the current state, Hou Ying seems to have quickly recovered his feelings and adapted to the current role relationship.
In the initial feeding work, Li Xuanyuan did not participate but devoted himself to the construction of a small satellite receiving station. Jiang Tao, Qiao Daye, and Liu Zhan took turns with Wang Hehe and Meng Hanghai to hunt level 1 zombies.
While teaching them gun skills, Jiang Tao and the three people used their own experience to guide Meng Hanghai to stimulate the use of his own ability to fight against the zombies. But perhaps the suggestive effect of hypnosis is still constraining the child’s brain. No matter if he is yelling or exhausting his energy, he can’t manifest his ability.
Meng Hanghai is very distressed about this, and everyone is helpless in the face of this situation. Finally, Gongsun Jing suggested that Qiao Daye and the others teach Meng Hanghai according to the mind training method in the army so that he can control his thoughts and mental state.
Unexpectedly, after Meng Hanghai learned to empty his mind, he soon found a way to use his ability!
The scene at the time was terrifying, and Qiao Daye was training with him. Meng Hanghai closed his eyes, like a sleeping little angel, with Qiao Daye’s warm voice talking beside him. Suddenly, the glass placed between them burst, followed by the table, the ground, and the trees—
Qiao Daye opened his eyes wide in astonishment. If he didn’t have the speed ability and ran fast or it’s anyone in their team, he would’ve been broken into pieces like those two glasses!
“Xiaohai!!”
Seeing that the cracked ground was about to extend to the position of their heavy truck, Qiao Daye screamed in fright!
Meng Hanghai suddenly opened his eyes, his expression still confused, but the flying debris seemed to be caught by a pair of invisible hands, suddenly pausing in the air, and then smashed back to the ground.
When Hou Ying, who heard the yelling, rushed back with Li Xuanyuan, what he saw was this scene—everything within a 10-meter radius of Meng Hanghai is chopped up, while the land is impacted by pressure, and the extent of cracking spreads to more than 50 meters. They were stunned. Meng Hanghai was very scared when he came back to his senses. He recalled the scene when his mother was torn in front of him, and said heartbreakingly, “I said it was a bad thing, I, I don’t want it… “
Hou Ying, who’s inquiring about Qiao Daye’s situation, hurried over to comfort him. It took a long time to persuade him to stabilize his mood.
Li Xuanyuan carefully observed the degree of damage at the scene and pondered, “Meng Hanghai’s ability is really not sound waves, more like…pressure? Space pressure?” He’s not sure. He picked up the cut trees again. Although the fragments were of different sizes, the cuts are very neat, as if they were cut by a sharp knife. More importantly, it is not cut from the outside, but from the inside.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Hou Ying and the others also came to see. After listening to Li Xuanyuan’s analysis, Hou Ying said in deep thought, “The top priority now is to let Xiaohai control the cutting target. When he’s more proficient in using his ability, we can know how he did it.”
No one objected.
Everyone who comes back to watch the scene inevitably is once again shocked by Meng Hanghai’s lethal MAX ability. After that, Qiao Daye is given full power to teach Meng Hanghai. Cough cough, who let this guy’s ability to escape dominate the whole team.
The team is stranded at the fifth stop. The zombie test field is supervised by Ji Yao, Liu Zhan, and Su Fenghe. Qiao Daye and Meng Hanghai practice hard every day. Jiang Tao and Gongsun Jing bring Wang Hehe to hone his skills of shooting zombies with guns. Li Xuanyuan is busy setting up his micro-satellite receiver. On the contrary, Hou Ying, who is in charge of everyone’s food, becomes extremely leisurely.
He absorbed the energy of the crystal nucleus every day and sat in a daze. After a day or two, he would inevitably feel a little irritable.
On this day, he accidentally added three spoons of salt to a dish. Although no one complained, they were all a little worried. In the evening, Ji Yao came over while he’s peeing and asked him, “Houzi, what’s the matter with you these two days? Your soul is out of your body.”
“It’s so boring, you don’t understand the wealth disease.”
Hou Ying shakes the water gun, retracts it, zips it up, and answers carelessly.
Ji Yao looked a little angry at his absent-minded appearance. He whispered, “It’s not because of Li Xuanyuan, is it? Houzi, you are not so impatient at ordinary times, why are you in such a hurry?” When testing each other, it was Hou Ying’s dedication and patience that moved him and decided to take that step. Although nothing came out of their relationship, he never doubted the sincerity of Hou Ying’s feelings.
Hou Ying sighed for a long time. The still freezing temperature made him exhale into a fog, which made his staring eyes become a little melancholy.
He said to Ji Yao, “Xuanyuan officially rejected me. I’ll be too unmannered if I still entangle him.”
Ji Yao was surprised, but soon looked at him suspiciously, “Are you such an obedient person? He won’t let you chase him, so you give up?” He wondered why Hou Ying couldn’t raise his energy these days, turns out Li Xuanyuan had rejected him.
Hou Ying said, “Otherwise, what can I do? Yaoji, teach me?”
Ji Yao shut up and was quiet for a while, then sighed deeply, patted Hou Ying on the shoulder, and said, “Houzi, although you want a straight man to be with you, this copy is hard to conquer, but if you don’t persist, you will never have a chance to move him. I’m not trying to persuade you to blindly hang on a tree, I just want to tell you that there are not many things in the world that can make us happy… If he can make you happy, be selfish and don’t let go.”
After the end of the world, Ji Yao lost too many things overnight.
His parents, his predecessors whom he loved and hated, and his career. His life all turned upside down. If it weren’t for Hou Ying’s love and his little nephew Wang Hehe, who was more helpless than he was at that time and needed more care, he would not be able to survive until now.
Even though he smiles every day, he is not happy, and even loses the feeling of perceiving happiness.
Nevertheless, he still sincerely hopes that the people around him can live happily, wish his best friend happiness, and wish him everything he wants most.
Hou Ying lowered his head, raised his head after a while, and smiled at Ji Yao, “I shouldn’t have asked you to comfort me. To tell you the truth, I’m also very surprised. After being rejected by Xuanyuan, I didn’t feel very sad, just… Suddenly I felt a little bit exhausted as if the optimism and motivation for me to fight was deprived of me. Yaoji, I don’t even know if I like him or not, I just…think that I can’t have him in the future, and I will…can’t bear it.”
It’s really strange.
At first, he was only attracted by Li Xuanyuan’s appearance. This kind of affection is only a short-lived neural signal in the cerebral cortex, like a fish’s memory, it won’t last long. But he doesn’t know when it began, his eyes always follow the other unconsciously, always wants to tease him, and even if he’s disliked by him and gets scolded, he feels very excited.
Just like an inexperienced boy who has never been in love, simply foolishly happy.
Ji Yao smiles and asks Hou Ying, “I really don’t know why you got attached. Why don’t you tell me what’s good about him that keeps you so obsessed?”
“Well, does knife-like mouth and tofu-like heart count?” Hou Ying tilted his head and thought of Li Xuanyuan comforting him, and unconsciously smiled. “Well, he’s so cute when he’s angry. He looks at people attentively. Whether he likes them or hates them, he’s always sincere and frank to others. He always frowns when he’s serious, and he’s always awkward when caring about others. He is also particularly adventurous and impulsive. Sometimes I always worry that he will do stupid things because he always ignores himself and regards others as more important than himself… Uh, why are you looking at me like that, am I wrong?”
Seeing Ji Yao’s astonished and even stunned expression, Hou Ying, who has been talking a lot, stopped in hindsight and became a little embarrassed.
Ji Yao smiled, “Houzi, you really didn’t realize that you have fallen in love with him?”
He originally thought that the first thing Hou Ying would think of was Li Xuanyuan’s appearance and figure, which was 100% in line with his aesthetic taste and preference. He didn’t expect that there were so many small details in his mind.
This tells a lot, doesn’t it?
“…Is that so?” Hou Ying pinched the bridge of his nose, “But I don’t have the urge to monopolize him. Maybe I just appreciate him?”
Ji Yao snorts, “You don’t feel the desire to monopolize because Li Xuanyuan looks wild, he puts on one in his eyes. Who among us can make you feel a sense of crisis? Think about it for yourself. What would you do if a girl with a big chest and white face confessed to him and he accepted it?”
Hou Ying, “…”
Seeing him pursing his lips, Ji Yao laughs, “Are you upset just by thinking about it? Houzi, accept the reality. You used to be very straightforward about your feelings. Why don’t you even admit it this time?”
Hou Ying said, “Probably…it’s not easy to get together in this world. I don’t want to make it difficult for everyone.”
Before the end of the world, people can get together and break up easily if they are unhappy. He has the capital to be chic but also has the opportunity to be willful. But now, he can’t afford to lose. He doesn’t even have the courage to gamble.
Ji Yao, “Then what do you want? I’ll say it first, if you still continue to act like a half-dead again, I will go to Li Xuanyuan tomorrow and give him the account!”
“You’re a fart.” Hou Ying rolled his eyes, “I can handle it myself, you don’t need to worry about it.”
“It’s best to be like this. Even if one’s EQ is as low as Xiaohe will feel that something is wrong with you. If you don’t cheer up quickly, how can you be a good captain?”
“Hey, what the hell is the captain! Please stop it, ok?”
“Haha, Brother Hou~ I see that you seem to be doing quite well in being a captain. Accept the reality, great god.”
“Don’t play tricks with me, go back quickly, or you’ll turn into a frozen chicken.”
Ji Yao rubbed his hands, turned around, and walked back, saying, “This ghostly weather is also strange. Is the Siberian cold air going to make a big move this year? It’s April now, why is it still so cold?”
Hou Ying felt funny looking at his neck curled up, and whispered behind him, “Ji Yao, thank you.”
Qiao Daye, who’s guarding for the night, sat down above the isolation layer on the top of the heavy truck. He silently retracted his gaze to look at Li Xuanyuan, who was engrossed in assembling parts behind him and couldn’t help knocking on the transparent isolation layer. Seeing Li Xuanyuan looking up at himself, with his usual frown on his face, he murmured, “Why didn’t I know you have so many advantages…”
Li Xuanyuan gave him a strange look.
Aaaaaah! So they heard?! Hahahaha! That was surely embarrassing! Hahahahaha!
I think it’s more like Qiao Daye who heard it as he has the hearing ability
I see. I really thought… Haaays.
Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
