third rebirth

The next four days were peaceful. I don’t know if the installation of the sixth data detector was also completed. The reason why the disordered data flow in area D was controlled was that the frequency of encountering mobs was much lower. In the past three days, Just before dawn, a wave of termites came out.

Given that they were extremely rich and had enough food, Ling Chen extravagantly threw a bunch of incendiary bombs over there, and the battle ended within 10 minutes.

Ling Chen and Jiang Mu were driving the car, and Jia Lan and Jiang Cancan occupied the roof of the car alone, laying flat and basking in the sun like a spread out pancake.

The two cars drove forward side by side, Jiang Cancan sniffled, and discussed with Jia Lan, "Brother, can you share one spicy beef strip?"

Jia Lan generously threw one over.

Jiang Cancan bit her lips, squinting her eyes in enjoyment, "Speaking of which, it's been almost a month since I entered Zone D. It feels like visiting a wave of mutant zoos for free. It's fucking exciting."

Before Jialan could reply, Jiang Cancan closed her eyes, "Sleep, it's getting dark."

Jia Lan looked at the sun hanging in the sky, with a confused expression, "Where is the sky getting dark?"

Jiang Cancan hummed: "Master Can, I close my eyes, it's dark."

Jialan: "..."

In the cab, Jiang Mu was holding the steering wheel with one hand, and was clicking on the contactor with the other hand. The interface displayed was a one-on-one private chat with Ling Chen.

"Jiang Mu: Cancan told me that during the chat last night, Fang Wenzhe mentioned Ye Xiao again, implying that we need to be on guard against Ye Xiao, but he didn't finish the sentence, as if he had some scruples and hesitated to speak."

"Ling Chen: Cancan know how to use idioms? It's not easy."

A second message followed, "How soon do you think he'll come to you or me?"

"Jiang Mu: Within today. He can't wait any longer."

When it was time for dinner, two cars were parked on a stone bridge. Jiang Cancan jumped off the roof and lay down on the fence of the stone bridge to look down. "The river is getting narrower and narrower. We should be approaching the upper reaches, right?"

The seventh coordinate point is located in the upper reaches of the river. They have been driving along the river for almost a day since yesterday afternoon.

Fang Wenzhe recovered a lot from his injuries, and his face turned ruddy.He got out of the car and stood next to Jiang Cancan, with a gentle smile, "Indeed, it should be soon." As he spoke, he casually looked around, "Where are Commander Ling and Ye Xiao?"

Jiang Cancan looked at Fang Wenzhe suspiciously, feeling that he paid special attention to Ye Xiao, so he responded casually, "Maybe Quiet Mimi went to solve her physical problems."

Although Jiang Cancan is familiar with chatter and chatting, and seems to have hit it off with everyone, he is very wary. Before Jiang Mu asked him about the chat with Fang Wenzhe, he realized that Jiang Mu and Ling Chen were suspicious of Fang Wenzhe. up.

He didn't ask too many questions, but before, he would chat with Fang Wenzhe about the canteen of the second department, but now he would tell cold jokes instead.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Cancan raised his hand, and the two brothers held Fang Wenzhe's shoulders nicely, and smiled, "Master Can will tell you another joke? The one at the bottom of the box!"

As soon as Fang Wenzhe heard this term, he trembled in his heart, and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I... I'll go back to the car to get something!"

Jiang Cancan leaned on the guardrail, waved to Fang Wenzhe who was hurriedly walking towards the armored vehicle, looked at the sky and sighed, "Hey, life is really lonely like snow!"

In the nearby woods, Ling Chen followed Ye Xiao, stepping on dead branches and leaves.

After walking another distance, Ye Xiao stopped and turned around, "...Captain, can you wait for me here?"

Ling Chen played with a bullet with his five fingers, exercising the dexterity of his fingers. Seeing Ye Xiao looking back at him awkwardly, he also stopped, and said intentionally, "But the forest is very dangerous, the captain is worried about you."

Ye Xiao tightened the black scabbard in his hand, looked around, and found a big tree with a thick trunk a few steps away, he asked Ling Chen shyly, "The captain is waiting for me here, I'll go behind the tree... ...Convenient, okay?"

Ling Chen always felt that he was about to bully someone to tears, but finally realized his conscience, leaned against the tree trunk, nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

He watched Ye Xiao hurriedly walk behind the tree, with a smile in his eyes - tsk, it seems that he is really in a hurry.After a while, the sound of a belt buckle being undone came from behind the tree.Ling Chen put the bullet back into his pocket, picked a few leaves from the side, and could not help but listen to Ye Xiao's movements while weaving things.

Ye Xiao's jeans were washed, and now he is wearing his camouflage pants, the waist is too big, so he added a belt to put them on.

Now that the belt buckle is undone, Ye Xiao's waist is so thin, the camouflage pants must hang loosely on the waist.Pants pulled down—

"Fuck." Ling Chen cursed softly, feeling that his head might have malfunctioned again. He just started to memorize the seven disciplines in his heart. Behind the tree, Ye Xiao poked his head out, "Captain, where are you? ...I can't get out."

Pathetic.

Ling Chen inhaled lightly with a "hiss", his eyes flickered on the belt he had untied for a moment, and he took a few steps back, "Is this okay?"

Ye Xiao nodded his head twice, then retreated behind the tree.

After a while, Ye Xiao, with his belt buckled neatly, came out, the wide camouflage trousers lined up his waist even more slender, and the wooden carved bunny on the scabbard flickered.Ling Chen handed over the little goldfish that he had made up in his hand, "It's for you."

Ye Xiao took it, hooked it with his middle finger, and smiled so beautifully that his eyes flashed.Ling Chen stroked his hair, feeling inexplicably agitated, "Let's go, we're going back."

Ye Xiao hooked the little straw braided goldfish with his fingers, and rolled his eyes with a smile, "Okay!"

Along the way, Ling Chen found a few clusters of mushrooms, took them back and skewered them with a wooden skewer to make a few skewers of roasted mushrooms and shared them.

After dinner, Ye Xiao followed Jiang Cancan to the river to wash his helmet, Ling Chen sat on the guardrail of the stone bridge, put his hand on the knee of his bent leg, and watched Ye Xiao and Jiang Cancan from a distance.

Fang Wenzhe passed away at this time.

He walked to a position two steps away from Ling Chen and stopped, his palms were a little sweaty.

He once saw Ling Chen, the commander-in-chief of the Second Department, from a distance in the military region.At that time, Ling Chen was dressed very formally, a dark gray double-breasted uniform with a stand-up collar, long military boots wrapped around his calves, but the style button was open, his hands were in his pockets, his figure was loose like a regular soldier.

He seems to be listening to the report of the subordinate next to him, nodding his head from time to time, but his eyes are always looking at the front, faintly revealing a very sharp aura.

At that time, it was the captain of You Long who took him to the military region for a meeting. Seeing Ling Chen and his party walking towards him, he immediately stood up straight and saluted, "Commander Ling!"

Ling Chen stopped, first raised his hand to fasten the untied buckles, and then returned a standard military salute, then nodded to the captain of You Long, and led the people to continue walking.

Ling Chen in the military area is more like a legend, standing on the altar all the time.

At this moment, Fang Wenzhe felt a subtle sense of excitement. He controlled the expression on his face and said, "Commander Ling, I have something important to report."

Ling Chen's gaze still fell on Ye Xiao who was by the river, seeing that he and Jiang Cancan were going to wash their helmets, but unexpectedly they splashed water on each other, they seemed to be having a good time.

Inexplicably upset, Ling Chen looked away and looked at Fang Wenzhe, "Say it."

Fang Wenzhe swallowed his saliva, and tried his best to meet Ling Chen's eyes without avoiding, his voice was a little dry, "I was taken away by the holy people before and locked in the back compartment. Once they were chatting, I heard They mentioned Ye Xiao's name."

Ling Chen frowned instantly, "Details."

"Yes!" Fang Wenzhe recalled, "At that time they tortured me, thinking that I had fainted from the pain, so they didn't avoid me when they spoke. One of them asked, did Ye Xiao come in? target."

He hesitated, "However, it is also possible that the names are pronounced the same, or I misheard."

Area D is huge, but very few people come in, and the probability of having the same name and surname is basically zero.

Ling Chen's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "The specific time."

Fang Wenzhe: "It rained heavily on the night of the 31st. Our group was...surprised. I was locked in the back compartment. I don't know the time, but I have remained sane, so I guess it should be the morning of June [-]st."

Ling Chen nodded, "The timing is right, we did meet Ye Xiao on the 31st." He asked again, "So these days, you have been looking for Jia Lan and Cancan to inquire about Ye Xiao?"

Fang Wenzhe admitted, "Yes, because you... seem to trust him a lot, I'm afraid I misunderstood myself."

"Yeah." Ling Chen got off the guardrail, and his thick-soled military boots stepped on the ground, making a dull sound.He put his hands in his pockets, squinted his eyes, making it difficult for people to see the emotions in it, "I see, the information is very important, I will deal with it."

"Yes!"

It wasn't until Ling Chen walked away that Fang Wenzhe let go of his clenched hands, revealing the four bruised and purple nail marks on his palm.

Ye Xiao and Jiang Cancan came back with the cleaned helmets, dried them and put them in the rear compartment.The water fight was fierce, and the hair of both of them was dripping. The clothes were waterproof, but they were not very wet.

Jiang Cancan shook his head, estimated the time, and raised his voice to ask, "Brother Chen, keep going? Jialan and I will drive in the afternoon!"

Ling Chen stood leaning against the front of the armored vehicle, a bronze-colored bullet flipped between his fingers, and did not reply.

Jiang Cancan sensed something was wrong, and stopped the smile on his face, "Brother Chen, what happened?"

With his fingers closed, Ling Chen held the bullet tightly in his hand. Ling Chen raised his eyes, ignored Jiang Cancan, and stared straight at Ye Xiao, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Jiang Cancan frowned, "Brother Chen, the kid finished eating all the rice and vegetables in the bowl at noon, and even helped wash the dishes. You are very good, don't be aggressive—" Before he finished speaking, Ling Chen glanced at him, Jiang Cancan subconsciously shut his mouth tightly.

Ye Xiao met Ling Chen's gaze, pursed his lips tightly, and put his hand on the handle of the knife.

Jiang Cancan noticed Ye Xiao's little move, and was stunned, and whispered to himself, "Damn it, what the hell kind of development is this?"

Ling Chen stood up straight, put his hands on the gun pouch, and said in a piercing voice, "You saved my life, I won't kill you today, you can leave now, Qingqing."

Ye Xiao's eyes were red.

Ling Chen looked away, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Why, do you want me to say it a second time?"

Only then did Jiang Cancan realize what happened, Brother Chen is going to drive the children away?He was confused and looked at Jiang Mu subconsciously, and found that Jiang Mu was poking the screen of the instrument with his head down, and Jia Lan didn't even see anyone.He looked at Ling Chen again, opened his mouth, "Brother Chen, kid——"

"Get in the car." Ling Chen turned around, opened the door of the armored car, looked back at Jiang Cancan, and said in a tense voice, "This is an order."

Jiang Cancan turned his head to look at Ye Xiao who was looking at Ling Chen eagerly, and found that his hand holding the knife was shaking.

"Fucking grass!" Gritting his teeth, Jiang Cancan rushed up to the armored vehicle very quickly, and within a minute, he came down with a bunch of nutrients and stuffed them all into Ye Xiao's arms.

He whispered to Ye Xiao, "Hey, listen to Brother Cancan, kid, pay attention to your own safety and don't get hurt. Brother Chen is a scumbag, leave him alone, I will find a chance to beat him up for you in the future! Can you Hurry up when you get out of Zone D, don’t get hurt, and take care of yourself.”

As he spoke, his voice was nasal.

Ling Chen didn't stop him, and sat in the driver's seat with a cold face.

When Jiang Cancan finally got into the car, Ling Chen said indifferently, "Let's go."

The sound of the engine sounded, and the two armored vehicles drove up the river one after the other.

In the rearview mirror, Ye Xiao was wearing clothes that didn't fit very well, his hair was still dripping, he was holding a long black knife in his hand, he was holding nutritional supplements, and there was a small straw braided goldfish hooked on his middle finger.He stood alone and did not move, looking at the direction the armored vehicle was leaving, as if crying.
