After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away - Chapter 31

[Chapter 31 The hero of the end of the world is here (3)]

Black smoke emerged from the aircraft, and the red-haired man slammed on the accelerator and flew quickly into an abandoned mine. He opened the door of the underground base remotely and rushed in before the aircraft was completely damaged.

As soon as they landed, all the dials in the aircraft instantly went out and became inoperable. The red-haired man propped his elbows on the operating table and pressed his forehead in silence for a long time. Finally, after the last loud noise came from behind, he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

“Get out of here.”

“…”

The white-haired angel who melted the metal wall of the aircraft with a single blow was silent for a moment, finally extinguished the light on his fingertips, and pushed the only unharmed water tank to get off the aircraft. Before leaving, he whispered “sorry”.

Huo Wuling tilted his head and chuckled, and finally took away the evil spirits flying around, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and jumped down, leaving only the red-haired man sitting alone, after a while Looking back stiffly, I saw the almost completely destroyed aircraft and almost fainted.

Ji Ning sat in the water tank, and when he got out of the aircraft, he saw this underground base that had been carefully remodeled. This mountain was originally a mine for mining energy stones. After mining, the minerals were abandoned. It is also the main activity place for him and Alke in the early stage.

The second male doesn’t pay attention to the appearance, which makes the decoration here look outdated. However, after reading the original book, Ning knows that the renovation here is very sophisticated and sturdy, with a high safety factor. At the same time, it is equipped with various latest weapons and machinery. Big price hit.

And that aircraft, which is of the highest quality, was destroyed by Arke and Huo Wuling…

Looking at the red-haired man who stumbled down, Ji Ning spit out a bunch of bubbles in the water tank, I silently said sorry.

As soon as the red-haired man walked down, he squatted on the ground with his head on his head. He was obviously hit hard. He couldn’t blame him. He thought that he would make a lot of money by investing so much capital in this business. Not only did the spoils burn up, but even the aircraft was destroyed…

“Fergie.”

Alke walked in front of him, the red-haired man looked up at him with a haggard expression, and heard the other side say.

“I want to keep him.”

Alke said, pointing to the mermaid in the tank.

The red-haired man almost spat out blood when he heard it, although he had already had a very bad premonition when Ark proposed to Huo Wuling to buy a mermaid, but now that he heard Ark himself say that he wanted to raise a mermaid, it took him a while. He still couldn’t bear the blow.

“Are you crazy?”

He exclaimed incredulously: “Do you know how much it costs to raise a mermaid?”

As an experienced mercenary, the red-haired man is actually not short of money, and can even be called a rich man , A lot of the money he earned has been invested in the stocks of genetic modification companies, which have doubled in value over the years.

If nothing else, just the mermaid’s exacting demands on water quality are enough to hollow out his family.

Raising mermaids requires replacing a large amount of purified water every day, and in the end times when resources are scarce, water of this quality is extremely expensive, almost equal to the value of energy stones.

And in fact, since he found Alke, if he hadn’t withdrawn some of his stocks, the red-haired man would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Ark suffered fatal injuries at the beginning. Even if he could slowly repair himself, he needed many rare medicines, which were bought for him by the red-haired man with his back molars.

But Ark is a powerful android. Since he has him as his partner, the tasks that the red-haired man has received have become more and more advanced. He can use these expenses as an early investment, but what return can he get from raising a mermaid? In reality, there is no such thing as immortality by eating merman meat.

The red-haired man’s face was unpredictable, and he was thinking about how to reject this proposal when Alke spoke again.

“I want to keep him, if not, I’ll take him away.” The white-haired angel bowed to his companion, then turned and walked towards the merman, “Thank you, Fergie, for causing you trouble this time. , I will slowly pay you back the money I owe you.”

“No, I haven’t said anything yet, you can raise mermaids, and I won’t stop you.” The

red-haired man panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped him. . Shit, how could he let Alke leave, to know that this guy will definitely make him hundreds of times more money in the future, where can he find another guy who can fight and cheat like this.

Alke stopped and looked back at him: “You agree?”

“Of course, I’m not a stingy person.” The

man’s heart was bleeding, but he could only force a smile and said, “It’s not too late, take advantage of it. Before the black market closes, hurry up and buy clean water for the manfish, and you will have to change the water for him in a few hours.”

“Okay.”

Alke nodded, and went to the bedroom to change into clean clothes. left the base.

Seeing him go out, the red-haired man let out a long sigh, carried his tools listlessly, and went to the nearly scrapped aircraft to see if there were any parts that could be removed, and said to Ji Ning at the same time.

“Little Mermaid, you are welcome to join us.”

“I listened to your discussion for so long,” Huo Wuling raised his eyebrows and said, “Have you asked my opinion? I allowed you to raise Ningning?”

Why ask you? You are not the master of the mermaid.

The red-haired man secretly slandered, but he didn’t dare to say anything on his face. He laughed dryly and said, “You can discuss this issue with Alke after he returns.” After speaking, he quickly added, “Discuss it on the ground. , don’t say it here.”

“Actually, you can tell Alke that he doesn’t have to worry about me.”

Ji Ning ignored Huo Wuling’s cold eyes and said to the man, “I won’t stay here for a long time, and I don’t have to prepare anything for me.”

“What do you mean?” The man raised his head in surprise.

“It can be understood that my genes are unstable.” Ji Ning thought for a while and replied, “I’m not a pure-bred mermaid. Most of the time, I’m actually a human. When I return to a human, it’s time to leave.”

“You Isn’t it a purebred mermaid?” The

red-haired man stood up suddenly, his expression distorted in an instant-then he paid such a big price, what was he for in the end?

He stared at the beautiful and gentle mermaid in the tank, eager to sell him now, before he returned to human form.

It’s just that he also knows that Alke will never agree, and even if the merman returns to human form, Alke will not let him leave. In that case, this is a good thing. It is easier to raise a human than to raise a mermaid. too much.

Thinking of this, the red-haired man’s mood suddenly calmed down, he smiled, and said to Ji Ning quite kindly, “Actually, you don’t have to leave, Ark and I welcome you, as long as you want, this is your forever home. ”

Jining smiled and didn’t talk about this issue any further. The red-haired man dismantled the aircraft for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped his movements, and spoke with curiosity.

“I don’t know if it’s a bit presumptuous to ask this question. If it’s inconvenient to answer, you don’t need to pay attention to me.” He said, “You should have known Alke before, what is your relationship with him, and what is he? ”

I was taken care of by him.”

Ji Ning replied in a general way, without revealing Ark’s “Ark Angel” identity, revealing it too early would only bring them danger.

“The only people who can afford a mermaid are the top dignitaries in various countries. Ark is still so powerful, then he…” The red-haired man touched his chin with a dirty hand, suddenly burst out laughing, and said, “Should he not Could it be the ‘Ark Angel’?”

Ji Ning didn’t answer, and the man didn’t take it seriously, he was just joking, he didn’t really think that Ark was the ‘Ark Angel’, like the most terrifying and simultaneous type of war in the country. It is the rarest killing machine, how could it appear on such a desolate planet.

As for Alke’s name and eye-catching wings, the man didn’t take it seriously.

Since the “Ark Angel” was born and became a trend in the interstellar space, many young people will install wings on themselves when carrying out genetic modification, whether it is suitable or not, and now the streets are full of “Ark” and wings. People, besides being too handsome, Arke’s appearance is not unusual at all, and there are many guys who are even weirder than him.

But the man did not deny that Ark’s life experience was very mysterious, which made people wonder. He was just about to ask Ji Ning a few more questions, but Ark had already returned with a water tanker and bought a lot of fresh ingredients.

Seeing those ingredients, the red-haired man once again showed a painful expression. He and Alke usually don’t eat so extravagantly. At a glance, they knew that Alke specially prepared it for the mermaid.

“I don’t know what you like to eat… So I bought these.” The

white-haired angel walked to the water tank and said to Ji Ning seriously, “What do you want to eat, tell me, and I will prepare it for you.”

“He has all those things. I don’t like to eat.”

Before Ji Ning could speak, Huo Wuling, who was leaning on the side, said lightly, “Don’t worry about it.”

“I can prepare.” Alke emphasized again.

“He likes braised pork ribs, can you do it?” Huo Wuling asked.

“Braised pork ribs?” The red-haired man’s expression was blank, “What is this?”

“Don’t worry about him.”

Seeing Alke frowning slightly, he seemed a little distressed, and Ji Ning waved his hand quickly and said, “I’m not picky eaters, just eat the same things as you.”

Huo Wuling glanced at Ji Ning, “You always tell me something. Sad words.”

Ji Ning also looked at him, “I don’t seem to have any obligation to make you happy.”

“You are too ruthless.” Huo Wuling suddenly got into the water tank and tried to kiss him again.

At the sight of the familiar light on Alke’s fingertips, the red-haired man’s heart suddenly hung up, he desperately grabbed his companion’s arm, and pulled him to the kitchen: “Okay, okay, let’s prepare dinner quickly, you You don’t want your little mermaid to starve, do you?”

Alke’s expression was still serious, staring at Huo Wuling: “I’ll figure out what ‘braised pork ribs’ is.

” Report to me.” The

black-haired man kissed Ji Ning’s cheek, looked at him with a smile, and spat out two words.

“Nanny.”

“…”

“Alke, calm down—!!”

…

After a scrumptious dinner, it was finally time to go to bed. The red-haired man was exhausted, and he had lived for nearly thirty years. , He had never experienced such a tiring day.

“I’m begging you, you two.” The

red-haired man put his hands together and begged Huo Wuling and Ark in a low voice: “Please, please don’t fight, even if you really want to fight, please go to the ground Hit, if this place is destroyed, I can only die.”

“Sorry, Fergie.” Alke said, “I won’t do it again.”

Huo Wuling curled his lips and said with a smile “But I don’t have a good temper. Well, why don’t you kneel down and beg me. Maybe I can agree to you.

”

Huo Wuling raised his eyebrows, and finally said nothing.

The red-haired man looked rather worried. He walked back from the hall step by step and returned to his bedroom. However, he opened the door several times and looked outside before finally closing the door completely.

Alke also returned to the bedroom, but instead of sleeping there, he took out his quilt and laid it flat beside the water tank, as if he planned to sleep here.

“It’s better not to stay here, right?” Huo Wuling said with a smile, “I don’t sleep well, and I’ll kill someone if I’m not careful. If I find you dead tomorrow morning, Ningning will definitely blame me.”

“Then It’s better if you go to sleep somewhere else.” Ning said, “I’m afraid you will kill me accidentally.”

“How could it be.” Huo Wuling said, “I’ll just accidentally kill me by accident. people.”

Alke remained silent, as if he had made up his mind, no matter what Huo Wuling said, he would ignore what Huo Wuling said, just hugged the soft quilt and buried half of his face in it, looking extraordinarily well-behaved, his eyes blinked. He looked at Ji Ning without blinking.

His complexion is very white, his hair is as white as fresh snow, his facial features are handsome and beautiful, and his eyes are like a bright silver moon, but it is purer and clearer, full of divine aura, which perfectly fits all human imaginations of angels.

The white-haired angel looked at the mermaid in the water, silent for a moment, and said softly.

“I don’t have any memory of the past, but I liked you from the first moment I saw you.”

“Fergie told me that you said I took care of you before. What was our relationship like then?”

Ji Ning smiled and replied, “It’s almost the same as now, but you were a little more cramped when you met me back then.”

…

As a killing machine that only understands war, when he first faced mermaids, Ark was very nervous. Overwhelmed.

He had never seen such a delicate and beautiful creature. Even when the mermaid hooked his neck and gave him a hug, he did not dare to hug him back, for fear that if he touched it lightly, the mermaid would be broken like glass. will be destroyed by him.

After the mermaid let him go, Alke took a step back. He really didn’t know how to respond to the mermaid, did he say thank you?

“You don’t have to be so restrained.”

The mermaid in the water looked up at him, with a gentle smile on her beautiful face, her light-colored pupils were like beautiful gems, water droplets fell down her snow-white skin, and her pale blue fish tail gently Swaying, like a blooming flower, exuding a temptation, he stretched out his hands to the inhuman angel.

“Please try to hug me like I did to you just now.”

“…Sorry.” Alke lowered his eyes and said, “I can’t do that, I might hurt you.”

“It’s okay.” Mermaid He smiled and said, “I’m not as fragile as I look on the surface, and it doesn’t matter even if you hurt me, you always need to try it for the first time, don’t you?”

“…”

After a moment of silence, the mermaid was slightly surprised. As he watched, Alke walked into the pool, his white wings submerged in the water, and his snow-white uniform was also wet. He opened his hands to the mermaid, and hugged him gently into his arms.

“Does this hurt?” he asked.

“Of course not.” The mermaid closed his eyes, leaned against his arms, and said with a smile, “Your hug is very warm, I like it very much.”

After that, Alke began to carefully raise his own mermaid, He specifically asked the staff of the institute a lot of questions about mermaids, and he did everything himself, whether it was feeding or changing the water, without the help of others.

“You are too nervous for me, honorable ‘Ark Angel’.”

Looking at the frowning angel checking the water temperature, the mermaid was lying on the edge of the pool, shaking her tail, and said, “It’s only half a degree away from the optimal temperature, I’ll be fine, within ten degrees, come to me The water temperature is suitable.”

“I don’t want you to get sick.” Alke insisted, he stood in the water, turned the button on the pool wall, adjusted the water temperature to the best temperature, and said seriously.

“Well, since you insist, although I won’t get sick because of this deviation.”

Seeing that he finally adjusted the water temperature, the mermaid waiting on the shore smiled, propped up his upper body, and stretched out his hands at him: “Please Hug me down.”

Alke grabbed the mermaid’s back and gently held him into the pool. After getting along with him for a while, he already knew how to hold the mermaid, not like it was at first. at a loss.

“I smelled…” The

mermaid leaned on his shoulder and whispered softly: “You have a very light smell on your body, the smell of gunpowder and blood. Did you just come back from the battlefield?”

“Sorry.” Al Ke pursed his lips, “I know you don’t like the smell, but I thought I cleaned it up. I’ll clean it up again.”

He was about to get up, but the mermaid stopped him and said, “It’s okay, I don’t care about this, I just want to ask, how do you feel about killing people?”

Alke thought for a few seconds and answered truthfully: “I don’t feel it, I’m just completing the task given to me by the council.”

“Look. Come on, you don’t have any special thoughts for those who died.” The mermaid said, “I want to know, if I die, will your heart hurt?”

“You won’t die.” Alke gently held his wrist.

“Just a hypothesis. Will your heart hurt?”

“I will be very sad.” A wave of waves appeared in Alke’s icy expression, similar to a puzzled emotion, “but I’m sorry, I don’t understand the usage of ‘heartache’ very well, I thought ‘heartache’ would only appear in the body In an unhealthy situation.”

“Literally, it means that the heart is very painful, and it will feel like being torn apart.” The

merman took Alke’s hand and gently pressed it on his chest.

Through a thin layer of flesh, Alke could clearly feel that the heart in his chest was beating at a fast speed.

“I’m very happy because of your presence. This kind of emotion will make my heart rate quicken.” The

mermaid looked at Alke, the beautiful light-colored pupils seemed to be filled with water, and they were full of Alke’s figure. .

“Similarly, once something happens to you, I will be very sad, even feel intense pain, can’t breathe, and my heart will be very painful. This is ‘heartache’.”

“Then I don’t want your heartache for me.” Al Ke said, “I don’t want you to suffer.”

“You are very considerate and gentle, honorable ‘Ark Angel’.” The

mermaid laughed suddenly, hugged the white-haired angel, and her voice was as soft as the sweetness in a dream Love words, but a curse like a magic charm, left an indelible mark on his heart.

“But I’m a selfish man, and I want your heart to ache for me.”

“That’s a proof of your love for me.”

“If one day you’ll grieve for me, even if you’re about to die, I’ll be very happy. ”

…

Jining and Alke looked at each other for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, “I’ll sing you a song, it’s your favorite song in the past, as a gift for you to take care of me.” The

white-haired angel blinked his eyes . , nodded quickly, and straightened his upper body straight, indicating that he would listen intently.

“Just lie down.” Ji Ning said, “This is the mermaid’s sleep song.”

So Ark put away his wings and lay on his side under the quilt. tune.

Although this Sleeping Song has lyrics, it belongs to the language unique to mermaids. It is very unfamiliar to angels, more like a song from a foreign land, but it has a strange power to soothe the unease in his heart. It is gentle and soothing. One thinks of all the most beautiful and dreamy things.

After a while, the bedroom door opened a gap, the red-haired man leaned against the door, his back leaned against the wall, he folded his arms and closed his eyes quietly listening and enjoying, after a while, he suddenly sighed and whispered with a smile.

“Raising a merman…it seems really good.”

Amid the comfort of the singing, Ark fell into a deep sleep without knowing it, his body was wrapped in wide and white wings, vaguely revealing a peaceful sleeping face, as if he was doing a beautiful dream.

The red-haired man also sat on the ground, leaning against the wall and fell asleep. Seeing this, Ji Ning stopped singing and looked around, only to find that Huo Wuling had disappeared without a trace.

What about others?

Ji Ning murmured something in his heart, but he didn’t wait for Huo Wuling to appear, it was already late at night, and he was getting tired, so he stopped looking for Huo Wuling and fell asleep himself.

In the dream, he entered the grocery store again.

It was raining on the dark street, only the grocery store was emitting a gentle warm light. Ji Ning was standing in front of the counter, the storage racks around were full of groceries, and a melodious female voice came from the gramophone in the corner, Huo Wuling Behind the counter, stirring the hot coffee in the cup, he looked up at Ji Ning with a smile.

…why are you here again?

Ji Ning looked around the grocery store. This was the third time he had come here. If the first two times were coincidences, this time it couldn’t be a coincidence.

Could it be that this has some important meaning to Huo Wuling?

Ji Ning wasn’t very clear about this, because Huo Wuling’s past was never explained in the Infinite Flow novel “God Killing”, and after spending three years with him, Huo Wuling never mentioned his past. , his origin is a mystery to Ji Ning.

“You’re so nice to him.”

Huo Wuling took a sip from the coffee cup, smiled and looked at Ji Ning who was in a human state in a dream, “Why don’t you come and sing a song for me? I didn’t even know you were like this. I’m good at singing.”

“That’s just my bonus when I’m in the form of a mermaid. My real singing skills are actually quite average.”

Ji Ning decisively rejected Huo Wuling’s proposal, sat on the single sofa beside him, and asked him: ” Did you pull me in here?”

“That’s right.”

Huo Wuling put down the coffee cup, walked out from behind the counter, sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Ji Ning, put one hand on the back of the sofa, leaned slightly, approached Ji Ning, his dark pupils stared at him for a moment, then the corners of his lips suddenly twitched and he said with a light smile.

“It’s just the two of us here.”

He leaned close to Ji Ning’s lips and placed a kiss on his lips.

“What do you say I should do to you?”
