The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Old Wang's face gradually turned red as he looked at the stone-like roadside stones. He was about to open his mouth to argue, but the next second he was dragged away by the person next to him and covered his mouth. He smiled and apologized to Chi: "He has always been impatient. Don't make a fuss about it, don't make a fuss about it."

Lao Wang struggled angrily: "Woo woo woo!"

Let him go! He can still talk!

He was quickly dragged to a small corner by someone from the same base and cursed in a low voice: "Why did you mess with him? He's an S-rank. What would you do if he gets angry and kills you?"

They were also angry in their hearts. Lao Wang was a fool. When they heard the news, everyone was panicked and had no confidence in completing the mission alive. However, no matter how panicked others were, they did not say it directly. It was only when he spoke that they tore off the fig leaf.

What should we do now? If anyone here returns alive, they will spread the news that the people in their base wanted to desert after accepting the mission.

As for why they ran away? No matter how legitimate their reasons were, they would be completely choked by a simple "you took it yourself" response.

Lao Wang gradually calmed down under the scolding of his companions, and the rest of the commotion in the crowd had already disappeared into thin air under the pressure of Chi's powerful aura.

Of course, although things may appear calm on the surface, one cannot tell what they are thinking inside, but at least it seems that no one is causing any trouble.

In the silence, Bai Ren looked at Chi with a strange look.

It wasn't the first day she and Chi knew each other, nor was it the first time they went on a mission together. She was fully aware of this man's indifferent personality.

As long as it doesn't affect him, he doesn't care if other people quarrel, fight, kill each other.

But this time, Chi actually took the initiative to maintain order?

When did he have such kindness?

Thinking of something, Bai Ren suddenly looked at Jiang Liujing who was standing next to Chi, but the mask covered the young man's expression tightly, and she could not see anything.

Bai Ren looked away in disappointment, feeling a sense of loss as if he had failed to eat the melon.

So she didn't know that the next second, Chi raised his palm silently, grabbed Jiang Liujing's cold fingertips and held them in his palm without any question.

He whispered to Jiang Liujing and promised: "I will definitely help you rescue the person."

No need for anyone else, he alone is enough, Chi Xin thought.

He was used to working alone, and in every mission he had ever taken, other people were a nuisance to him. Their existence was more like monitors used by the base to track him than companions.

Jiang Liujing is the only exception.

Chi would not feel any irritation when he was alone with him.

Jiang Liujing is his treasure, so Chi will do his best to fulfill his wish.

Hearing Chi's words, Jiang Liujing's fingertips trembled slightly, and the beautiful black eyes under the mask turned to him. His lips opened slightly in an invisible place, and then closed as if at a loss.

There is a place in my heart where heat is surging, and it feels inexplicably full, like a spring overflowing with water.

Everyone knows the danger and the place they want to escape from, but Chi still does it without hesitation.

He is such a fool, he doesn't know how to seek benefits and avoid harm at all.

Finally, the young man narrowed his black eyes, hummed, and clasped Chi's wrist with his fingers along the palm of his hand, and whispered, "Let's go together."

Jiang Liujing thought to himself that he owed Chi so much.

So much that it seems impossible to pay it back.

It seems that the only way to repay such a debt is to repay it with one's body.

After Lao Wang returned to his seat and sat down, Andway stood up.

His cheerful and righteous character was well-known in all the major bases. He was known as a "good man" with an excellent reputation. He stood up, and everyone seemed to understand what he was going to say.

As expected, Andway opened his mouth and said, "What the mercenary just said is actually correct. This mission is indeed more dangerous than we expected, and the chance of death is also very high. If anyone regrets participating in the mission, you can ask for it now and stay in the wanderer camp with the injured. We will pick you up on our return trip."

There was a commotion below, but it became much quieter than before. People were talking in low whispers, and they looked at Chi from time to time, as if they were afraid that their words would anger the boss again.

Seeing that Chi was sitting as still as a rock and as statue-like as ever, with no intention of paying any attention to them, someone raised their hand and said, "Can you leave a few cars for us so we can drive back?"

"Well," Andrew said with a smile, "no."

"The vehicles and supplies are provided by the various bases for the mercenaries on their missions. Since you gave up midway, you have also lost the right to enjoy these resources. Don't worry, the wanderers here said that there are not many zombies here, so you won't encounter any danger if you stay here."

The few who spoke: "..."

Is this what they are worried about?

What they were worried about was that everyone who went there would die and never come back, and they would have to stay in this desolate place for an unknown amount of time.

But no one dared to speak out loud, not even Lao Wang. If they uttered words like a curse, the boss of their own base would tear their heads off, even without Chi.

So the situation was strangely deadlocked again.

Mo Ya yawned out of boredom. Seeing that they had been arguing for a long time without any conclusion, he leaned over to Jiang Liujing and whispered, "Xiao Jing, do you want some candy? I have some in my pocket."

Sugar is a good thing that everyone is scrambling for in the end times. It has a long shelf life, is easy to store, and is rich in energy. It can be called a luxury item in the end times.

Mo Ya is very stingy. If you give him ten candies, he will keep seven for himself, give three to Chu Zhou, and not give any to Wen Xun.

But he can also be very generous. For example, when facing Jiang Liujing, he would pester and give it to him even if the other party didn't want it.

Jiang Liujing thought about it and actually asked for one. Seeing Mo Ya's happy and silly smile, he curved his eyes to thank him and asked for his opinion, "I want to give this one to Chi."

Mo Ya's smile froze on his face: "Ah? Oh. Oh. Okay."

Watching Jiang Liujing take the candy, peel off the wrapper, and then turn around and stuff it into Chi's mouth, the tall, cold, statuesque man actually opened his mouth and ate it, not refusing whether it was candy or poison.

Mo Ya covered his chest in grief.

Wen Xun said calmly, "I told you before, don't be a bootlicker."
