When the explosion happened, some people still had no time to evacuate.

The mountain shook in an instant, the flames shot up into the sky, and the air waves came oncoming. The underground tunnel was obviously overwhelmed. There were signs of collapse, large and small stones suddenly fell, and the huge dust raised turned into a chaotic mist , drowning out those desperate cries, angry shouts and uneasy restlessness, everything became blank.

What Xu Wenxin said was true. There were indeed a lot of explosives stored in the research institute. Like dominoes, one detonated, triggering a series of chain reactions.

Su Xian was dizzy from the heat wave. He knew that he would be crushed and swallowed by the tsunami-like flames in the next second. He didn't really care about his ending. He was just annoyed, he was too greedy Yeah, always trying to save everyone, even if some of them are scum, trash, assholes.

He didn't want to be a hero, he just felt that... things shouldn't end this way.

Whether it is an innocent person or a damned person, it is not a worthy death to die in this big explosion that can erase everything.

But at this moment, his true thoughts are no longer important, and even he is powerless in the face of such a devastating trend of destruction.

In the face of the death that was so close, his thinking almost collapsed into ruins. Even the fear was just a formality, but there was a little regret.

Countless scenes flashed by in my mind, and the people in my memory were like actors rushing to the scene, coming and going in a hurry, and in the end, only a frozen silhouette was left.

That's too late……

Su Xian only felt a sweetness in his throat, his consciousness was on the verge of collapse, and he would fall into darkness at any moment. The raging flames in front of him rang out with the sound of earth-shattering explosions, and the karmic fire burned, reflecting the underground space as bright as day. Suddenly, the face that was still on his mind a moment ago appeared.

The illusion of returning light?

It was just a moment of confusion, but it seemed that the time was extended infinitely.

Until he was thrown heavily to the ground by the other party, his mind was still in a trance state, until his wrists were tightly clenched, and his low voice mixed with warm breath was entangled in his ears.

"I'm so worried... I'm late."

The voice of the other party with lingering fear finally made Su Xian fully realize that all this was not an illusion, but actually happened.

After regaining his senses, his first reaction was to turn over and cover the person under his body in turn, so as to minimize the damage to him from the explosion.

Unexpectedly, the expected overwhelming momentum did not come. He looked at it blankly, and suddenly found that time had really stopped.

The flames and halo froze in the air, and the dazzling scene was like a collision of meteorites, and there was a hint of sadness in the frenzy.

The sky-shaking sound also disappeared, not only that, but the half-fallen gravel, smoke and dust, and flying sparks all stagnated in the air.

Everything seemed to be paused.

The scene was eerie and dreamlike.

Zhong Yun, who was under him, picked up a suspended gravel from his hand, threw it twice in the palm of his hand, and smiled softly: "Does it look like magic?"

Su Xian lowered his head to look at him again, his outline was reflected very clearly, and the light spots in his pupils floated up and down, which made him feel for the first time that human eyes can be brighter than any gemstone.

At this moment, Zhong Yuncong's body suddenly twitched, followed by a violent cough. Su Xian was caught off guard, subconsciously propped himself up, and moved away from his body.

But his cough got worse, and he even vomited blood while coughing. Su Xian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he realized that this person was covered in blood all over his body, and he had been seriously injured long ago.

"What's the matter with you? How did you get hurt like this?! Also, why did you come here?" He asked angrily, and at the same time stretched out his hand to pull him up, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the training camp? Are you Didn't you run around again?!"

He opened his mouth with a series of accusations and questioning, and his tone was too aggressive, but Zhong Yuncong was not angry. He wiped the wet blood on his back and showed it to him pitifully: "Brother, I'm completely injured." If that's the case, can't you say something nice?"

Su Xian was suddenly at a loss for words, and the cursing words were suddenly blocked back, stuck in his throat, and there was no way to comfort him.

"Besides, now is not the time to teach me a lesson." Zhong Yuncong restrained his smile, his expression became serious, his eyes swept over the frozen fire and the bewildered people, "I don't know how long they can last... …Let’s organize their escape first.”

Su Xian's gaze flickered for a moment: "They? Ren Yanhe...?"

"Lu Yuan, his other son." After Zhong Yuncong said something quickly, he shook his head again, "I don't have time to elaborate now, I will explain to you later, help me."

His original intention was to ask him to help him up, but he didn't expect that the other party directly grabbed his shoulder. Before he could react, Su Xian had already hung his arm behind his neck, and whispered: "Go!" Bar."

Zhong Yuncong asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

"Send you out first." He frowned deeply, "It's too dangerous here."

Zhong Yuncong glanced at Ren Yan and Lu Yuan who were not far away, and shook his head: "I can't leave, once I leave, I can't control them."

Su Xian was silent for a while, and then said: "I understand."

Then he turned his head and looked at his subordinates: "Run out as soon as possible, women and children are in the middle, escorted by the security officer, pay attention to order, don't stampede!"

Then he looked at Zhang Jibai again: "You help me watch over them, and when you get up, instruct them to evacuate the people in the sales house, you must hurry up!"

Zhang Jibai frowned: "Then what about you...?"

Zhong Yuncong also wanted to say something, but Su Xian seemed to be a prophet, covering his mouth and smiling at Zhang Jibai: "I'll stay here."

Zhang Jibai gave a "tsk", then raised half of his eyebrows: "In this case, remember to pay me an extra salary."

After speaking, he turned around and left, Su Xian's tense nerves were temporarily relieved.

Zhong Yuncong blinked when he heard his relieved exhalation, and his voice came out indistinctly from between his fingers: "Actually... I just sold out... I'm not that weak, I can moveable."

"Shut up." Su Xian's voice was cold, and at the same time he withdrew his hand without a trace.

Even with his kindness to save his life, there was still no trace of humanity in Su Xian's voice, Zhong Yuncong was annoyed and funny: "You really are...you don't know good people..."

Before he could finish his complaint, he was stopped by the other party's expressionless sideways glance: "Okay, okay, I admit that this metaphor is not appropriate, I just shut up..."

Su Xian's eyes seemed to melt into the twilight, hiding heavy emotions that couldn't be resolved, making him feel like walking on thin ice even more. After a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly: "Why are you so disobedient?"

Zhong Yuncong looked up at him as if he had been immobilized, but he could only see the sharp and thin jaw. His heart moved, the corners of his lips raised uncontrollably, and he suddenly buried his face in the opponent's neck Suddenly, the nasal cavity was instantly surrounded by his breath.

"Don't be angry, I'll just be obedient in the future." Before being pushed away, he whispered again: "The wound hurts a bit, let me lean on it."

Su Xian's breath stagnated, and at the same time, he felt the arms on his shoulders gradually tightened, his throat tightened, and then, the man's hand was like a swimming snake, and the slightly rough palm touched Touching his sweaty skin, it brushed across his neck softly and secretly, and finally stayed on the side of the neck, and the cold fingertips pressed gently on the pulsating carotid artery.

It seems to appease, but it also seems to test.

This unexplained touch was like an electric current, causing countless electric sparks to whizz through the blood vessels all over his body, making them go round and round, even if he tried his best, he couldn't get rid of it.Not only that, but it was also accompanied by a powerful and unknown panic, even surpassing the menacing sea of ​​flames that came before, attacking him like Mount Tai.

Su Xian swallowed involuntarily, and what followed was a completely out-of-control heart rate, like a wild horse running amok, one of his hearts seemed to be roasted on the fire, a little painful, a little hot, but And mixed with indescribable sweetness.

This strange feeling made him both shocked and cringe.

He felt that he had never been so embarrassed.

Su Xian took a deep breath, as if being burned by fire, he suddenly shook off the opponent's hand, and quickly turned his back.

"How long can we last?" He tried his best to make his voice sound normal, "We have to calculate the time to leave from here."

Zhong Yuncong looked at the back of his head, and smiled helplessly: "My side is okay, mainly their side... Although the time can be extended with two people together, it is limited after all... No It will be more than 3 minutes."

Before Su Xian could respond, he heard his voice again: "Actually...you don't need to stay here with me, it's fine if I'm alone."

"I would like to stay here," he choked angrily, "it has nothing to do with you."

Zhong Yuncong wanted to laugh, but was disturbed by the sudden cough. Hearing the heart-piercing cough, Su Xian closed his eyes resignedly, then turned around and patted his back repeatedly, helping him He is smooth.

Zhong Yuncong's cough gradually subsided, but new blood froth overflowed from his lips. Su Xian supported his shoulders, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, not even daring to breathe hard: "With Xiaotao here, you should be able to It's okay...you hold on."

"Don't change the subject..." Zhong Yuncong spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse, "Why do you like lying so much?"

Su Xian was stunned.

"Did you lie to me..." He twitched the corner of his mouth weakly, "Or did you lie to yourself?"

Su Xian reflexively wanted to look away, but was firmly fixed in place by the other party's eyes.

"Look at me, don't hide."

Su Xian's lips pursed, but his vocal cords seemed to be malfunctioning.

"Then let me tell you first... I desperately want to come here because I know you are here, and I want to save you. Of course, other people will save you too, but saving you is the most important thing. The other people together , not as good as you."

Zhong Yun looked into his eyes fixedly: "Then what about you, why did you stay? We are not relatives, we don't know each other very long, and our friendship is not too deep...Why?"

Perhaps it was because he was on the verge of life and death that gave him the courage to put all his eggs in one basket. Even though he was so weak, he showed an aggressive aura. His eyes were like mirrors hanging high, which made Su Xian's eyes full of fear. Nothing to hide.

"It took all my life's courage to ask, so don't avoid it." Zhong Yuncong stretched out his hand, the tense ending sound betrayed his uneasiness, and his cool fingertips covered the back of his hand, "Otherwise... ...I will have no face to see you again."

Su Xian trembled all over, he was still a little dazed, and didn't know how to respond to this serious question, but his body responded on his behalf - he held his backhand.

The moment his skin touched, it was difficult for Su Xian to describe his feelings at this moment - he could not say that he was unwilling or willing, because he could no longer control his will, and he could not resist the surging force like a tide.

This tug of war that did not know when it started officially ended with his failure just now.

Meeting Zhong Yuncong's trembling gaze, Su Xian slowly brought his hand to his lips.

This person who inexplicably appeared in his life forcibly tore apart the barrier in his heart that marked no entry for strangers, and the things that had been buried deep in it for many years were also melted and disintegrated, and they were brought to light again.

He closed his eyes, feeling relieved and peaceful in his heart after throwing away his armor.

Su Xian raised the corner of his mouth and laughed at himself.

Even though he was completely defeated, he couldn't help but feel happy. Human beings are sometimes really unreasonable.
