[End Times] After becoming a demon
Chapter 52
They left the gathering place and stopped in a wilderness.
The wasteland under their feet was originally tens of thousands of acres of farmland before the end of the world. After being abandoned for many years, it has become the scene of overgrown weeds. Next to it, an asphalt road with a width of several meters can be discerned. Grass grew from the gaps, making it look even more dilapidated.
The moon hanging in the sky is big and round, flowing with silver and shining brightly, the endless fields, insects singing, and the sound of wind and grass. Qiao Mingyuan took a deep breath of the fresh air here. There is a little smell of grass in the air, which makes people feel refreshed .
He has never experienced such a beautiful picture. Before the age of 12, he has been living in a small town. He has never even been to the park playground that his classmates often talk about. After leaving the city after the end of the world, he has seen forests and mountains. But the mental tension along the way has never been appreciated and felt when I stopped.
Qiao Mingyuan rubbed the little fur in his arms. It was frightened by the thrills before, and it shivered in his arms.
"Brother? What are you going to do?" Qiao Mingyuan asked Song Nuo when he saw that Song Nuo was pulling out something out of thin air.
Song Nuo took out a tent from the space. Seeing Qiao Mingyuan's eyes widen curiously, he handed the tent to him, "Stay here until dawn, don't you like it?"
Qiao Mingyuan took apart the folded tent and flipped it over. When he heard Song Nuo's words, he stopped and looked at Song Nuo. The other party still had that stern look, but it made his heart feel hot for no reason. Qiao Mingyuan approached Song Nuo, Kissed the corner of each other's lips, and said with a smile, "No, I like it very much."
Song Nuo stared at Qiao Mingyuan under the moonlight. The person in front of him had lost the youthfulness of a young man. Although he was not as tall as him, he was still very tall. He was wearing a slightly loose shirt and trousers with a special smell, blown by the wind. The messy hair was flying up, and the gray and white hair ball in his arms made him look a bit childish.
Qiao Mingyuan put Xiao Mao aside, and for some reason, Xiao Mao, who originally wanted to find him for his brother, actually didn't like him very much, but was willing to cling to him, almost wherever he went, Xiao Mao would follow his legs wherever he went, It's like growing on his ankle.
"Is it safe here? Will there be zombies or mutant animals coming?" Qiao Mingyuan asked while dismantling the tent.
Song Nuo glanced around. There is no place that is absolutely safe in the last days. This wasteland is a paradise for mutated animals. If he guessed correctly, the "lord" of this place is already on his way.
"High-level mutated animals have a strong sense of territory. They are so quiet now, which means..."
"The master has come." Qiao Mingyuan said.He not only saw a wild beast approaching from far away, but also heard the angry roar of the other party coming from afar.
He couldn't help but glanced at Song Nuo, since he knew there was going to be a fight, he asked him to toss the tent, and it would be dawn after the fight, would this tent still be useful?
Song Nuo smiled in a low voice and said, "Go ahead and fix your tent, I'll be back in a while." After finishing speaking, before Qiao Mingyuan could call him, he turned into a shadow and flew out quickly.
Song Nuo's red eyes shone with a bloodthirsty light, his muscles tensed, and his hands turned into black claws the moment he struck, grabbing the mutant rats who came forward to attack them.
This mutated mouse was originally a field mouse. After the mutation, its eyes also glowed red. It can stand upright. The muscles of its two hind legs are raised high, which looks extremely developed. The chest, abdomen and front legs look amazing. Some of them looked like human-shaped lumpy muscles, and the fangs in the mouth reflected a murderous cold light in the moonlight. Enraged by Song Nuo's provocative attitude, it jumped up with force on its hind legs.
Song Nuo parried the mutated rat's minions, and swiped his sharp claws in the opposite direction, cutting a hole in the corner of the mutated rat's mouth, thick blood gushing out, the mutated rat became more irritable, its hind legs tensed repeatedly, The speed becomes faster and faster.
It's a pity, compared to the speed, how can it catch up with Song Nuo? Song Nuo dodged slightly, then grabbed a loophole in the other party, grabbed a front leg with one hand, and tore it apart fiercely. Screaming like a whistle, both front legs were torn apart, and he jumped on his hind legs and wanted to escape, but Song Nuo had already thrust his claws into the mutated rat's chest cavity after that tear, crushing its heart .
The mutated mouse twitched and made a short "ho ho" sound, and fell to the ground. At the same time, a ray of warmth melted into Song Nuo's body from the mutated mouse. The smell of beast souls made Song Nuo frowned. Looking carefully at the corpse on the ground, he finally stepped forward and grabbed its head off.
Song Nuo took the mutated mouse's head back. Qiao Mingyuan had already set up the tent, and was looking in his direction with a knife in his hand, with a serious expression on his face.Quite different from his usual bright appearance, Song Nuo was inexplicably moved. He threw the mutated mouse's head away, pulled Qiao Mingyuan away and kissed him. After some intertwined lips and tongues, Song Nuo let go of him unsteadily, and Qiao Mingyuan's eyes watered. Run Mingliang couldn't do it, the original coldness turned into tenderness, Song Nuo kissed his eyes again before hugging him.
Song Nuo felt that his heart was swelling, and there was an inexplicable feeling. The two hugged quietly for a while. Song Nuo let go of Qiao Mingyuan, took him to the head of the mutant mouse, and showed him.
"There should be crystal nuclei inside." Qiao Mingyuan easily sliced open the mutated mouse's head with a narrow knife, exposing the red and white brain inside, which flowed all over the floor.
He took out the half-fist-sized crystal, rubbed it on the grass, and couldn't help laughing. He thought of the mutant spider they killed for the first time, the forest, the stream... and Zhou Tuo and Zhou Qinghe Uncle and nephew.
He stopped laughing again, because his brother didn't remember those things, so he never asked, and he didn't know what happened to the two of them in the end.
Qiao Mingyuan put away the crystal nucleus, buried the mutant mouse's head with soil, and returned to the tent with Song Nuo.
Lying on the cool cloth, the two looked at the sky through the opened curtain together.
A ray of light gradually appeared in the sky, and Qiao Mingyuan's breathing became more and more regular, and he knew he was asleep without looking. Song Nuo didn't feel sleepy. He hugged the person in his arms, and suddenly felt that a night without sunlight can be very interesting.
…………
Outside of City F, Song Nuo frowned and looked at the tall city wall of City F from afar. From such a distance, he could still see clearly that the power grid was being erected tightly in mid-air.
"Alliance of abilities?" Song Nuo repeated.
"Yes, F City is very different from Qinglan. Here, the government, the army, and the alliance of supernatural beings jointly manage the affairs of the city. It is said that all matters are decided by the three parties in a parliament. The government is relatively weak, and the army controls everything. With nearly half of the military supplies in the city, the Alliance of Supernatural Beings has the largest number of people." Qiao Mingyuan briefly introduced F City to Song Nuo.
"Then let's go in." Song Nuo said lightly.
Qiao Mingyuan hesitated to speak, but Song Nuo frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"Actually, I can go alone. Just return this bag of crystal cores to Li Huan. Brother, you don't have to take risks with me." Qiao Mingyuan said at the time that he didn't think too much about returning to F City. He just owed Li Huan some points. I just want to return the money to him, but I forgot that the people in F City have seen my brother's ability, this is simply pushing my brother into a tiger's mouth.
Moreover, there is another point, he doesn't want other people to disturb them, he is very selfish and doesn't want his brother to contact others...
Qiao Mingyuan hesitated, wondering if he shouldn't come back at all?
Song Nuo's eyes sank, and his tone became cold, "You want to leave me?"
"How is it possible?!" Qiao Mingyuan retorted like a conditioned reflex, he looked up at Song Nuo, his ruby-like eyes were full of deep emotions.
He suddenly understood that his brother was thinking about the same as him, and in an instant, like opening a bottle of iced soda on a hot summer day, the joy burst out uncontrollably.
The troubles and worries during this period disappeared. Qiao Mingyuan stuck to Song Nuo's arm, and his face returned to the brightness before. He smiled brightly, "How could I leave you? Brother, no matter what happens , I will be with you!"
Song Nuo didn't speak, and the two walked towards the city gate.
The procedure was the same as before, requiring blood tests and registration. Almost after they had registered, the Alliance of Espers received the news. Song Nuo and Qiao Mingyuan met a few people led by Lu Ba when they left the collection department.
Lu Ba smiled, the scar on the side of his face was distorted, he nodded to Song Nuo, and said, "Mr. Song, don't come here without any problems."
Song Nuo nodded lightly, as a greeting to him.
Lu Scar also knew a little about Song Nuo's situation, and he didn't care about Song Nuo's indifference. He looked at Qiao Mingyuan with his usual friendly tone, "Xiao Yuan, why didn't you send a message in advance when you came back? That kid Li Huan Come and ask me often, if you don't come back, that kid will annoy me to death."
Qiao Mingyuan smiled, held Song Nuo's hand firmly, and said, "I came back this trip just to find Li Huan."
Lu Ba nodded and motioned them to get in the car, "After I heard that you were coming, I ordered someone to prepare a place for you. Knowing that Mr. Song likes to be quiet, we specially prepared a quieter place..."
The car is different from the modified car that the superpower team goes out to do missions. It is a light and fuel-efficient car before the end of the world, and it attracts passers-by to turn back frequently when driving on the road.
The place they prepared for the two of them was near the Union Hall, and they should have emptied out a residence specially. The efficiency of this kind of work has to be astonishing.This is a two-story residential house. It is not very beautiful, and the area is not large, only about [-] square meters, but it is still clean and tidy.
"The housing in F City is relatively tight. Now the electricity is not enough to use elevators. For safety and time saving, few people are willing to live in houses with too high floors, so most of the houses built during the reconstruction are two-story and three-story. layer." Lu Ba explained to Song Nuo from the side.
It wasn't that they wanted to perfunctory the two of them, it was that the single-family building was really nervous, and it was with great difficulty that they persuaded the original owner to trade the house to them.
When they arrived, the staff inside had just finished cleaning for them and replaced all the sheets and bedding with new ones.
"It's [-]:[-], the two of you should rest here for a while, someone will bring food later, and we'll clean up the dust for you in the evening." Seeing that Song Nuo and the two had settled down, Lu Ba left in a hurry.
Song Nuo went upstairs, entered the bedroom and opened the window. Looking out of the window, he could just see the league's training ground, an open-air training ground. Many people were doing physical training in teams.
Qiao Mingyuan smiled, "I used to train there, jogging with weights, strength training and so on."
Song Nuo looked at Qiao Mingyuan stretching his waist, lying on his back on the bed with a relaxed and comfortable look, and asked him, "Are you not worried?"
Qiao Mingyuan stroked Xiaomao's hair and said, "As long as I can be with you, I don't worry about anything."
The wasteland under their feet was originally tens of thousands of acres of farmland before the end of the world. After being abandoned for many years, it has become the scene of overgrown weeds. Next to it, an asphalt road with a width of several meters can be discerned. Grass grew from the gaps, making it look even more dilapidated.
