Desperate

The originally dark steamboat was brightly lit for a moment!Dozens of soldiers with live ammunition surrounded the four people in the middle, and all aimed at the two southerners with guns of different lengths, as if they could shoot the two into a sieve as long as Zhou Pushen gave an order.

A Ling reacted quickly, pulling Cen Lu to his chest to block all his vital points in an instant, and then pulled out the gun at his waist with lightning speed, and stepped back while pressing Cen Lu's head.

He wanted to go back to pull Alang, but found that the other party had already wrestled with Zhou Pushen. Alang took out a dagger from his arms and waved it at Zhou Pushen a little clumsily. Alang couldn't use the gun because he not only If you are not familiar with firearms, you may injure yourself if you shoot at a short distance.

Zhou Pushen didn't even move his eyebrows, he raised his hand and grabbed the handle of the opponent's knife, and punched the opponent's numbness with the other hand accurately. He lost the only weapon he was good at.As soon as Zhou Pu stretched out his long arm, he strangled Alang's neck, and the sharp dagger mercilessly touched Alang's Adam's apple, drawing a line of blood.

A Ling looked at Zhou Pushen's smooth movements in shock, and then realized that he had lost the initiative.He stopped following Cen Lu, staring at Zhou Pushen's blade with blood red eyes: "Let him go!"

Zhou Pu moved the blade a little further in a deep silence, and the blood flowed down A Lang's neck and into his collar.The second lieutenant's voice was calm, and his expression was not flustered, but the emotions in those eyes were accumulating layer after layer, and they were about to turn into a storm.

He said silently in his heart, and he must not be seen as flawed like last time.

You must never... let people know where your weaknesses are.

Zhou Pu said coldly: "Take off his hood. Otherwise..." As soon as he finished speaking, he changed his hand to grab Alang's slender neck, pressed his hand against the wall with his arm, and pointed the dagger straight Aiming at Alan's thumb: "If you delay for ten seconds, I will break off one of his fingers."

Ah Ling only felt that he was being pressed down step by step, almost out of breath, the young man in front of him had a cruelty that didn't match his age, he hesitated and didn't know what to say: "I..."

Alan was strangled by the neck, and it was very difficult to speak: "Don't...don't trust him...with hostages..."

Zhou Pu squinted his eyes deeply, and without saying a word, he raised his sword and dropped it.With A Lang's scream, the thumb of his right hand separated from his palm in an instant, and a few drops of blood splashed onto Zhou Pu's fair face, but he raised his hand to wipe it without any intention.

Like an executioner tired of punishment.

"Don't!" Ah Ling roared, raised his hand and lifted the black cloth bag off Cen Lu's head.Cen Lu regained the long-lost light in an instant, and went to see Zhou Pushen before his pupils got used to it.

He is not too worried about his current situation. The two who kidnapped him are now at an absolute disadvantage. His trust in Zhou Pushen made him put his own safety behind.

On the contrary, Cen Lu was even more worried about Zhou Pushen's state. The last time he was held hostage by Li Zhou, Zhou Pushen's crazy appearance still left him with lingering fear.

So even though his mouth was covered with tape and he couldn't make an obvious expression, he still tried to show a comforting smile to the second lieutenant.

The sharp palm print on Cen Lu's face hurt Zhou Pushen's eyes. He desperately suppressed the urge to shoot the two kidnappers into a sieve, and said in a low voice, "I suggest that we exchange hostages."

As soon as the words fell, Alang resisted violently, but was choked by the second lieutenant and could not make a sound.

As if she couldn't understand the other party's meaning, Ah Ling asked back without bending her tongue: "Will you let us go?"

"Of course." Zhou Pushen nodded without hesitation. "If you don't believe me, you can go outside the cabin. We exchange outside the cabin at the same time. Even if I break my promise, you can immediately take your companions into the water and escape."

Ah Ling thought about the other party's proposal for a while, and felt that there was still something wrong.He yelled in the small cabin: "Don't try to lie to me!... If you want to exchange hostages, you have to sail out first, and then disarm! How do I know if you are cheating on me!"

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Pushen snapped his fingers, and the steamer immediately left the port where it was docked.He tilted his head slightly, and the dozens of soldiers crowded in the cabin put the guns in their hands on the ground in unison, and disarmed all except the body armor and helmet.

And Zhou Pushen, who was controlling Alang, was alone. He didn't even wear a bulletproof vest, so he threw the dagger on the ground so coolly, and only held Alang's neck tightly with his right hand.

Alan's face was flushed from being pinched, and his eyes were full of despair.

A Ling still used Cen Lu to cover all his vital points, forcing him to walk out of the cabin with him.Zhou Pushen held back his hostage, and followed the two of them towards the outside.

The sea breeze brought up moist water vapor, and there was an unmistakable smell of gunpowder in the water vapor. Cen Lu found that the steamer had already traveled almost three or four nautical miles away from the port, almost reaching the border between the empire and the southern country.Putting the cold gun against the hostage's forehead, the man with the scar looked down at the water, and after confirming that there was no ambush, he shouted at Zhou Pushen who came out: "You are only allowed to come out alone, and let them all stay in the water." In the cabin!"

Zhou Pushen stopped the subordinate who was about to rush out with gestures, and nodded at the emotional Ah Ling.

A Ling led Cen Lu to the stern of the boat, his rear foot was almost in the air, he held the gun in one hand, and tightened Cen Lu's tied hands with the other hand: "Come here, Take Aaron!"

Zhou Pushen also used the same posture, and his right hand was slightly relaxed, so that Alang could have enough oxygen supply.The left hand twisted his arm with great force.The sullen second lieutenant didn't even bother to give the two kidnappers a look, his dark eyes were fixed on Cen Lu like searchlights.

One step, two steps.Zhou Pushen walked slowly but steadily, not at all as good as Ah Ling who was already trembling all over.

When Zhou Pu was two inches away from Cen Lu's bound body, Ah Ling finally lost his patience, let go of Cen Lu's hand and reached for his companion.Cen Lu was pushed inward by him, and fell inward uncontrollably.With deep eyes and quick hands, Zhou Pu pushed Alang away, and stretched out his arms to embrace the person in his arms.

Cen Lu felt limp all over, he didn't even have the strength to raise his arms to hug Zhou Pushen back, but felt that the second lieutenant's two arms holding him were frighteningly strong, strangling him almost out of breath.

Ah Ling caught her companion and showed her first smile since today.The scar across the right eye was almost invisible by the man's squinted smiling eyes. He hugged Alang and pointed to the continuous lights not far away: "Alang, look, the southern country is over there , we can go back right away..."

A cold trajectory passed by, and a blood hole appeared between the eyebrows of the dark-skinned man. Before he could retract his smile, it was frozen on his face forever.

Alan couldn't support his weight, so he could only fall heavily on the deck with him. Aling's heavy coat made him breathless, and inside his coat were all kinds of ammunition given to him by the killer whale. And a handful of phantom seeds.

Ah Ling had already thought about it for them. There is no regulation prohibiting the cultivation of phantoms in the southern country. After they return home, they can start their old business and save money.Because they drifted to the empire since they were young, the empire didn't teach them anything except endless experiments and torture, so they could only do this first.When they settle down, they will each find a job that is not harmful to others, and they can still be together after they get married.

But now this dream is shattered, just less than 1000 meters away from home.

A-Lang knelt on the deck, reached out tremblingly and closed A-Ling's eyelids.How wonderful, he died with a smile, he died looking at his hometown.

He knew they couldn't go back, and when Ah Ling agreed to this compatriot who became a running dog of the empire, he knew they couldn't go back.

The soldiers in the cabin came out one after another, pointing their spears and short cannons at the two unarmed people on the deck. Zhou Pushen still held Cen Lu tightly in his arms in an absolutely protective posture, looking coldly as if he had lost his mind. Alan lost his soul.

Alan hugged Ah Ling's head in his arms, and looked up at the boundless night sky. The bright stars were densely covered in the black night curtain like diamonds, like a gorgeous curtain before a good show begins.He suddenly laughed, and there was a bloody weeping sound in his laughter.

From the very beginning, from the moment they wanted to leave, the orcas had already treated them as abandoned children. Any hostages or medicines were just traps.And he cleverly borrowed someone else's hand. Thinking of this, Alang suddenly took a deep look at Zhou Pu, who was holding the person in his arms, with some pity.

Whose pawn is he?

A soldier impatiently opened the safety lock, ready to send the rest of the people off, but was stopped by Zhou Pushen raising his hand.The second lieutenant's cold voice sounded in the dark night: "Let him tell. If you can tell who the 'killer whale' is, maybe I can keep your whole body."

But Alang didn't respond, he just glanced at the blood on Aling's hand, and asked Zhou Pushen with a false expression in his black eyes: "Don't you want to go home?"

Zhou Pu's expression froze, and his broad palm grasped Cen Lu's thin arm even more tightly.He lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes flickered under the starlight, as if he was thinking about this question seriously: "My home is here."

My home is wherever he is.

"Heh." But Alan couldn't understand him, he just thought he was another poor man deceived by the empire, "They, whether they are from the empire or from the state, are all liars. You always have One day we will find out."

A liar... Zhou Pushen brought a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and looked down at Cen Lu, who was half unconscious. It would be fine if he was lying to me, so I would feel fairer.

It's just because I'm greedy for the time spent together, I don't know who is the real liar.

He didn't want to look at the desperate appearance of those two southerners, so he stretched out his long arms and picked up Cen Lu's legs, and hugged him horizontally in his arms.Zhou Pushen signaled his subordinates to deal with the remaining matters with his eyes, while he led Cen Lu into the cabin.

During the silence, A-Lang had already carried A-Ling's heavy body on his back, and that strong body was pressed on A-Lang's thin shoulders like this. A-Lang smiled, and jumped up without looking back before the gunfire sounded behind him. down deck.Towards the deepest part of the boundless sea.

Ah Ling, let's go home.

I will take you home.

Qixi Festival extra: gifts for straight men (?)

Foreword: Tanabata spoof episode, warning of collapsed characters!Collapse character warning!Collapse character warning!If you don't like it, please don't enter!

Liang Qian: Brothers, Qixi Festival is coming soon, have you prepared a gift for the one at home?

Zhou Pushen: (glances at him) How grown up are you still doing this.

Liang Qian; (sternly) Second Lieutenant Zhou, how can you talk to your boss?

Zhou Pushen: (with a formulaic smile) Major, why are you so naive at this age?

Liang Qian: (also showing a smile) Shen Shen, you said that you are gay and not straight, why don't you understand a little bit of fun.Professor Cen might also be looking forward to your gift, but he didn't say it out loud.

Zhou Pushen: (Looked blankly) Will... will it?

Liang Qian: Yes, yes, see if you think so, Brother Song.

Meng Kansong: So I was also a member of the talks?

Zhou Pushen: (ignores the two who are playing tricks, and smiles dreamily after thinking for a moment) Then I'd better...give chocolates.I gave my brother milk chocolate last time, and he seemed to like it very much.

Liang Qian: (curling her lips disdainfully) What kind of chocolates are you giving? How old-fashioned!

Zhou Pushen: (unconvinced) Then, what advice does Major Liang have?

Liang Qian: (nostrils proudly upturned) Speaking out scares you to death! (Fumbles behind her back and takes out a tall cardboard box) Open it and have a look, it's a gift from me to the little beauty!

Zhou Pushen & Meng Kansong: (Opening the gift box with suspicious expressions) High heels?

Meng Kansong: What's so scary about this!Not too corny!

Liang Qian: (smiling evilly) The point is not the shoes, look at the heels.

Zhou Pushen: (Looking at it for a while with a frown, suddenly realizes) The heels are so high!It feels almost... (reaches out to estimate) thirteen or fourteen centimeters.

Liang Qian: (nose almost turned up to the sky) I specially made it for the little beauty!According to the height of the little beauty, this kind of dress is just right!

Zhou Pushen & Meng Kansong: (Looking with pity) Go for it, the lieutenant colonel must like it very much.

Zhou Pushen: (losing interest in Liang Qian, who is dying soon, so he turns to Meng Wangsong) Kansong, do you have anything you want to give away?

Meng Kansong: (Confused) Me?I have no object?

Liang Qian: (hissing that it's not a big deal to watch the excitement)

Meng Kansong: (glaring at Liang Qian) I'm a straight man and a single dog, the one who doesn't know how to be romantic, okay!

Zhou Pushen: (Be patient and persuasive) You don't have to send someone, you can also say friends.

Meng Kansong: (Suddenly whispering) Although...although there is no one, but there are still some things to give to friends. I recently saw that Xiaohou stayed underwater for a long time, and his skin is not very good, so I thought about giving him some skin care products...

Zhou Pushen & Liang Qian:? ? ?

Meng Kansong: (gradually serious) When we went up, the sun was hot on the sea, so we must send a bottle of strong sunscreen.Although Anxtan has a good sunscreen effect, the gold tube cream is too thick, and Xiaohou's oily skin is definitely not used to it.It’s better to give Lan x a small white tube, the lotion is delicate and docile, and it won’t rub mud when used together with his cc cream... As for the cream before going to bed, I still like to use young brands, such as the rose cream of Fu x Shijia , use it before going to bed to keep moisturized all night...

Zhou Pushen & Liang Qian: (Straight man? Single dog? Don't understand style?)

Meng Kansong: (already obsessed with it) Skin care products are not only for the face, body care is also urgent.When it comes to body milk, the most classic is Zu x Long's British pear series... hey, hey, don't go!

After receiving the gift, the gathering of girlfriends(?)——

Cen Lu: (Smiling and pushing his glasses) Have you all received the gifts?

Hou Chunxie: (positive response) Got it! (Sniffing embarrassingly) Brother Meng gave me a big bag of things, and I don’t know how much it cost...

Dou Huaiye: (frowning, moving away from Hou Chunxie) What is this strange smell on your body?

Hou Chunxie: (laughing apologetically) I’m sorry... Brother Meng told me that the bottles and jars he gave me have a shelf life. I wiped it on my face, since it is an expensive thing anyway, so it must be right after wiping it off.

Cen Lu: (The straight man who only wiped his face with a big x is puzzled) What is he talking about?

Dou Huaiye: (calmly) It's nothing, you don't need to understand.

Cen Lu: (Thinking of the younger brother's shy expression, he showed a rippling smile) Xiaoshen... He gave me a box of chocolates, very silly, like a child.

Dou Huaiye: (calmly) Have you eaten?

Cen Lu: (shy) I ate most of them, and Xiaoshen sent assorted chocolates. He said that in this way, I would never know what the next piece would taste like.

Dou Huaiye: (quietly covered with goosebumps) I can't tell that Second Lieutenant Zhou is so emotional.

Cen Lu: (continuing with a blushing face) Later I couldn't eat anymore, so I asked Xiaoshen to eat it with me. Who knew that his one happened to be a bonbon, and he was so poor at drinking, he said he wanted to sleep after eating it.Xiaoshen’s sleeping appearance is so cute, I (beep——) Later, Xiaoshen was woken up by me, and he (beep——)

Dou Huaiye: (calmly covering his ears)

Hou Chunxie: (Blushing as if bleeding)

Cen Lu: (After finishing speaking, he felt inappropriate and wanted to change the subject) Cough... let's not talk about my business, did Lieutenant Colonel Dou receive any gifts?

Dou Huaiye: (puts down his hand covering his ears, murderous intent crosses his eyes) Received.

Cen Lu & Hou Chunxie: What is it?

Dou Huaiye: I can tell you what the reward is.

Cen Lu & Hou Chunxie: (curious) What is it?

Dou Huaiye: (cracking fists) concussion, arm dislocation, nasal bridge fracture, plus a comminuted fracture of the left thumb.

On the night of Qixi Festival, Cen Lu dragged Zhou Pushen to visit Major Liang Qian who still didn't understand why he had to spend the holidays in the ward.
