Quick Wear: The Beautiful, Strong and Tragic Path of a Swordsman

Jiang Qingze came down from upstairs only after Xu Yan fell into a deep sleep. At that time, Shen Yi and his teammates were playing cards together to kill time.

"Captain." Yan Zhi was the first to notice Jiang Qingze. He called out, and then asked with concern, "Is Brother Xu feeling better?"

When this was mentioned, Jiang Qingze's face showed worry again, "I feel better, but my physical condition hasn't improved much."

"He won't survive long in the apocalypse like this." Shen Yi frowned and said seriously, "Also, his physical condition doesn't seem to be that of an illness or injury. He needs more professional and comprehensive medical treatment."

Shen Yi hesitated for a long time but still did not tell the truth that Xu Yan would not live long. He knew that once he said that, Jiang Qingze would be even more reluctant to let go of this person. It would be better to persuade him to separate from Xu Yan from another perspective.

After all, Jiang Qingze still has to find his sister and it is impossible for him to stay in one place for a long time. When they are separated for a long time and their feelings fade, Xu Yan’s death will become insignificant to Jiang Qingze and he will not be sad about it.

Xu Yan's body is to the point where even his spiritual spring cannot heal him. His spiritual spring is pure vitality, which means that this person's body is already riddled with holes to the point where vitality cannot be replenished. He is already a dying man, so they must find a way to separate him and Jiang Qingze before their relationship goes any further.

Yanzhi said that they were not together, and there even seemed to be some conflicts between them.

"I know, so take a break. When he's in better condition, we'll set out to escort him to the nearest Base No. 8." Jiang Qingze rubbed his short hair irritably, his eyes falling on Yun Rou, the only beautiful girl in the team who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Qingze: "What's your situation?"

Yun Rou immediately smiled and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "Captain, what is your relationship with that handsome guy with gray hair~?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Jiang Qingze, with different emotions.

Jiang Qingze became even more irritated, but when he thought of Xu Yan who was sleeping while pinching his fingers just now, his irritation seemed to subside a lot, but his mood was still very bad, and he didn't know why it was like this.

He said coldly, "What does it have to do with you? You just need to know that he is the financial sponsor who hired us."

Hearing this answer, Yun Rou snorted and continued to knit the sweater she learned after the apocalypse with her head down, without any interest.

The main reason is that it’s too boring without a mobile phone to play with.

Xu Qiao was very happy to hear this answer. He came close to Jiang Qingze, took out the birch seeds and lighter he had collected before and handed them to him, "Captain, look at the good stuff I found for you!"

Jiang Qingze lowered his eyes and was about to take it, but suddenly the scene of Xu Yan advising him to smoke less in college appeared in his mind. He took his hand back and thanked him lightly, "Thank you, I plan to quit smoking."

"Ah?" Xu Qiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Smoking too much is indeed unhealthy."

However, Jiang Qingze did not continue to respond to his words, but looked at Shen Yi, "Brother Yi, can your team join us on this mercenary mission to escort Xu Yan to Base No. 8? The reward is 55-."

Before Shen Yi could speak, the other members of Jiang Qingze's team began to wonder, "Base No. 8 is not far from here. There is no need to call Brother Shen's team to join us, right?"

Shen Yi, of course, guessed Jiang Qingze's intention, and said with a sinister smile, "The share he hired you for belongs to you. If you want to hire me, that's another price. Today's treatment for him will be considered as a bonus service. What do you think, Xiaoze?"

Not really.

Jiang Qingze had no expression on his face, but he couldn't refute it.

......

It was already noon the next day when Xu Yan woke up again. He rubbed his aching temple. The pain in his body was temporarily gone, but the pain in his soul was like a maggot on his tarsal bone and would continue until he fully recovered.

To be honest, the side effects of this body are nothing compared to this one. If he doesn't look carefully, he won't be able to feel it.

Fortunately, he had experienced too many deaths and had an amazing tolerance for pain, otherwise he would not have been able to move freely without changing his expression.

Of course, you still have to act when facing the mission target.

However, the tasks in this world seemed to be simpler for him than those in the previous world.

[Send the mission target a gift that will be unforgettable. ]

If he wanted, he could even do it now, but there was a possibility of mission failure, so he should wait until he completed the plan in his mind before reaping the rewards.

After all, this is also the long-cherished wish of a poor little person who is not loved by the world but loves the world.

The door was opened, Xu Yan turned around and saw Yan Zhi holding chicken soup.

Yan Zhi still had an awkward expression because of what Xu Yan said before, "The captain asked me to come and see if you are awake. If you are awake, I will give you this bowl of chicken soup."

The young man who was sitting on the bed suddenly dimmed the expectant light in his eyes when he saw it was him. He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Although he knew that the young man had no bad intentions, he didn't like to curry favor with someone, so he put the chicken soup on the bedside table and prepared to leave.

Xu Yan looked up at Yan Zhi's back, his mouth opening and closing silently, as if he was saying sorry, but he seemed unable to make a sound no matter what, until Yan Zhi closed the door.

The room fell silent again.

Xu Yan also became quiet. His eyes were unfocused, as if he was thinking about something, or simply in a daze. Until the chicken soup on the bedside table was almost cold, he suddenly came back to his senses and began to search around frantically, his eyes full of panic.

His eyes suddenly fell on the silver box placed in the corner of the room. Xu Yan almost crawled over and hugged the box in his arms, then he sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief.

He didn't know how long he could live, so this box filled with his experimental records was countless times more important than him.

As long as we continue to study with reference to these materials, the end of the world will eventually come to an end. Although it may be nearly a hundred years later without him, at least mankind will still have a future in which civilization can be restored.

Xu Yan looked at the half of the handcuffs left on the box and sighed. It seemed that he had to make this clear to Jiang Qingze later, otherwise it would be all over if he lost it. He didn't want Jiang Qingze to become the eternal sinner who ruined the future of mankind without knowing it.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan turned his head to look at the chicken soup on the bedside table. He carried the box to the bed and sat down. He picked up the cold chicken soup with one hand and drank it all.

He should try to live longer, so that his little fool doesn't have to live in this precarious apocalypse anymore.

Jiang Qingze seemed like a different person after a good night's sleep.

These are Yanzhi’s original words.

Because the captain who was eager to protect Xu Yan yesterday, today asked him to deliver food to Xu Yan and he didn't even look at him.

Although Xu Yan's food was still uniquely luxurious, even the only girl in the team didn't have a share.

Not only was the whole pot of chicken soup kept for Xu Yan, the captain even shaved the chicken meat and made it into chicken dumplings, and called on the team's ice-type psychic to freeze them, ready for Xu Yan to eat on the way.

This mind is completely biased towards the South Gate of Heaven.

When Xu Qiao and Zhang Qianyu saw how virtuous and doting the man they were pursuing was, they almost gnashed their teeth.

Of course, Jiang Qingze ignored all the thoughts of these irrelevant people. He was in a very confused mood.

After watching Yanzhi carry the chicken soup upstairs, Jiang Qingze hesitated for a moment and turned around and walked to the garden on the first floor.

The untended garden was overgrown with weeds, but there were a few beautiful wild flowers in bloom, though they were about to wither.

After all, the environment at the end of the world is too harsh for these delicate flowers, and it is unknown whether some of these flowers will bloom tenaciously again next year.

Jiang Qingze raised his head and looked at the gray sky.

I don’t know when I will be able to see the refreshing blue sky again, and even the wind that blows over carries a smell of decay.

Will this apocalypse ever end? Can humans rebuild their glorious civilization as they did in the past?

He didn't think of this problem suddenly, but because he had a dream yesterday.

In his dream, he saw Xu Yan again, the Xu Yan from his previous life.

A cool young man with black hair and black eyes sat in front of him, smiled and softly made a wish: I want to end this apocalypse.

In fact, his memory of his previous life was very vague, and he didn't know whether this dream was a real dream or a memory of his previous life as a fool.

After he was reborn, he only remembered that Xu Yan picked him up when he was seriously injured. All his memories after that were soaked in the culture tank in that research institute. Every time he was injected with the drug, he felt excruciating pain until he became a fool from the pain.

That was a torture he would rather die than go through.

When he thought of the pain that felt like his whole body was being shattered and reassembled, his fingers would involuntarily spasm and tremble.

Even though he avoided the point of being seriously injured by accident in this life, and avoided the fate of being picked up by Xu Yan, even though he still... had feelings for Xu Yan.

But it is also undeniable that he has developed a psychological trauma towards Xu Yan.

As soon as he saw him or approached him, he would involuntarily recall his past life and his body would produce unbearable phantom pain.

Especially now that all the emotions have cooled down, the problems he needs to face are becoming more clearly presented to him.

What should he do? Should he really just leave Xu Yan at the official base and leave as he said before, and draw a clear line between them?

This may be for the best.

but......

He was a little reluctant, he couldn't control his disappointing heart.

His current state is that his heart and reason are in a war between heaven and earth, and it is unclear who will win.

I don't know how long I sat there, but suddenly a call came.

"Ozawa."

Jiang Qingze looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Yi walking towards him gracefully. The confusion and entanglement that he had suppressed returned. After all, this was the only brother he could completely trust and rely on at the moment.

"Brother Yi."

The handsome young man sitting on the grass with legs bent no longer had his previous strength. He looked like a lost lamb, with a painful and confused expression, as if he was stuck in a trolley problem and was unwilling to make a choice.

Shen Yi felt a little distressed. He sat next to the young man and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Qingze naturally couldn't mention the matter of rebirth to anyone, so he could only ask, "What should you do if the person you like brings you pain?"

Shen Yi's eyes turned cold, "Xu Yan?"

Jiang Qingze nodded. Seeing Shen Yi's misunderstanding, he immediately defended Xu Yan, "It's not his fault, it's my own fault."

After hearing this, Shen Yi restrained his killing intent. He immediately recalled the rumors about Xu Yan in high school. He asked, "Is it because of the rumors about him that you have a grudge in your heart?"

"Of course not..." Jiang Qingze denied it almost immediately, and then wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain. He stammered for a long time, and finally said in self-deprecation, "I guess so."

"Rumors stop at the wise. Do you think Xu Yan is that kind of person?" Shen Yi's eyes were calm and his voice was steady and convincing.

"Although there is some truth in the saying that flies don't bite seamless eggs, you are the one who actually gets along with Xu Yan. What you need to think about is what kind of person he is in your heart, and whether he has ever done anything that is difficult for you to accept when you are with him."

When talking about the unacceptable things, Shen Yi keenly caught the pain and entanglement in Jiang Qingze's eyes, and immediately sentenced Xu Yan to death again, and no longer showed mercy for the next words he said.

"If his presence really makes you feel painful, then stay away from him as soon as possible and take back your heart."

Jiang Qingze certainly knew this truth, but the problem was... he couldn't take it back.

Probably I can't get it back in this lifetime.

After a long silence, he closed his eyes and said with a sigh, "Okay, I'll try."

Seeing that he looked like he was going to die, Shen Yi slapped him on the back of his head in a funny way, and scolded him with a smile, "What's that expression, kid? Is love the only thing in life? Your sister is still waiting for you to find her! If Xiaoxi knew that you, as a brother, threw her behind for a love affair that had no chance of success, she would be so angry that she would bite you to death."

Jiang Qingze punched back and rolled his eyes, "No, Xiaoxi is my only relative. She will always be the most important in my heart."

Even if he had thought about being with Xu Yan before, he would wait until he found his sister and came back to be with him. Even if the sister he found in the end turned into a zombie, he would still go to find her.

This is his responsibility, and they are also his beloved relatives.

......

The wind carried the sound of conversation to the second-floor balcony.

A silver-gray head appeared a little from the gap in the balcony fence, and the soft hair was blown by the wind, playfully curling up in a semicircle on top of the head.

Xu Yan hugged his knees and lowered his head, huddled in the shadow of the balcony.

He didn't mean to eavesdrop, he just wanted to get some fresh air.

Although this body has not awakened any special powers, it has been injected with countless drugs for experimentation, so apart from the side effects, it still has some positive benefits.

For example, his five senses are very sharp. At this distance, even if he doesn't want to listen, even if he covers his ears, he can still hear the sound downstairs clearly.

So...did I make Aze feel pain?

It turns out that he also cares about those rumors... Does he think I'm really dirty...

Xu Yan couldn't help but think about the content of their conversation.

Relatives?

It was such a strange and distant word to him.

He was an abandoned baby since birth and he has no idea what it feels like to have family.

However, he agreed that it was right to put blood relatives first.

He was just a little envious.

When will he have someone who will always put him first in his heart?

Probably not.

He shouldn't expect it.

A few drops of blood dripped onto the balcony and dried in the dark corner.
