third rebirth

Ling Chen was dazzled by this smile.

Maybe because he stared at him for a long time, the "little brother" in front of him subconsciously touched the small bag of the jeans - the place where the three toffees were stored.

Worried he'll take the sugar back?With a slight "tsk", Ling Chen smiled lazily, "I won't steal your candy, you can eat it yourself."

Ye Xiao's eyes fell on the silver edge of Ling Chen's combat uniform, and he muttered, "I can give you one...no, two!"

Ling Chen narrowed his eyes, his heart moved, and he dragged his voice, "Do I want three, too?"

He originally teased him casually, but he didn't expect the other party to really nod his head, his voice was a little louder than before, "Well, I'll give you all you want." After speaking, he emphasized, "I'll give you all three. "

Ling Chen's words changed to, "Let me see if you smile again?"

"Ah?" Ye Xiao didn't react.

"Fuck," cursing in a low voice, Ling Chen felt that his brain might have malfunctioned, so he put away the expression on his face, "It's nothing."

"Yeah." Ye Xiao nodded, thinking he was looking at Ling Chen quickly and secretly, from hair to eyebrows to the bridge of nose.

Seen by the timid gaze of this little animal, Ling Chen said, "Thank you for helping me, for saving me."

"You're welcome!" Ye Xiao quickly replied, "I... I'm very happy to help you." This time, without waiting for Ling Chen to speak, he first squeezed the black scabbard in his hand, "I'm going first, "

After finishing speaking, he took another look at Ling Chen, "If you are in danger again, don't be afraid, it's fine."

Without explaining what this sentence meant, Ye Xiao turned around in a panic and walked towards the woods.

Jiang Cancan and Jiang Mu, who had been by the side all the time, came over when the back of the person was no longer visible.

Jiang Cancan patted his chest, "Brother Chen, does that little brother owe you money?"

Seeing that Ling Chen was still staring at the direction where Ye Xiao disappeared, he followed suit a few times, "Otherwise, why would he not even dare to lift his head and speak in a low voice when facing you? I'm almost crying!"

Ling Chen put his hands in his pockets, looked away, thoughtfully, "I don't owe me money, I don't know you." He looked at Jiang Cancan for a few seconds, "Thomas Moshkowski? When did you get this name?" ?”

Jiang Cancan grinned, "The stage name is a temporary use of talent. It sounds amazing, right? But Brother Chen, how are your hands?" He said, and he handed over a tube of nutritional supplements, "Bubu?"

Ling Chen took it with some distaste, drank it in one gulp, swallowed it, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and replied, "It's okay."

He killed more than [-] silver-ringed king snakes in a row yesterday, even though he was careful and cautious, he still got a few drops of venom.The toxin penetrated into the blood vessels through the skin, making his whole body weak, his limbs numb, and his bones and joints were always aching.

Not wanting to say more, Ling Chen tilted his head and asked Jiang Mu, "Is there a place nearby where we can pitch a tent overnight?"

Jiang Mu called up the three-dimensional topographic map constructed before in two seconds, and quickly confirmed, "Yes, walking 800 meters, the risk factor is low."

"Well, let's go." After taking two steps, Ling Chen turned his head to look at the woods behind him—it was empty, with nothing.

As soon as the tent was set up, the rain began to pour down.

Jiang Cancan sat cross-legged, wiping the barrel of the K57 with a cloth in his hand, and harassed Jiang Mu who was debugging the equipment with words from time to time.Jiang Mu was so annoyed by him that he pressed the button for a while.

Finding that the keyboard was about to be smashed, Ling Chen decided to use his humanitarian spirit to save Jiangmu from fire and water, "Jiang Cancan."

Hearing the address with the first and last names, Jiang Cancan sat up straight instinctively, "Here!"

Ling Chen: "Yes, report."

"Report! Today is the seventh day my team entered Area D. After the white leopard on the first day, the anaconda on the second day, the man-eating crocodile on the third day, the mutant brown bear on the fourth day, and the eclipse on the fifth day. After the Human Grass, and the Silver Ring King Snake on the sixth day, we welcome the Skeleton Wolf again today!"

Jiang Cancan was about to say a few words about his thoughts, but was swept away by Ling Chen, hurriedly shut up, coughed twice, and continued to report solemnly, "Practice has proved that the magnetic field disorder in D area in the Noah system world is not accidental but It is normal, Xiaomu's instruments are always out of order, which can be proved. The wind direction changes from time to time is also normal, as can be proved by Master Can's collapsed sharpshooter character set!"

Lifting his chin, signaling Jiang Cancan to shut up, Ling Chen looked at Jiang Mu, "Xiao Mu continues."

Jiang Mu put down the instrument in his hand, his voice was calm, "Cancan—"

Jiang Cancan: "Brother."

"Comrade Jiang Cancan's conclusion about the magnetic field and wind direction is correct. In addition, today I can confirm that all the beasts and raptors we encountered, including the skeleton wolf, were created by the disordered data flow in the D area." He made an analogy , "Just like the holographic game that Comrade Jiang Cancan used to play, the system will spawn mobs."

Ling Chen twirled his fingers—it was the expression of his thinking, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Jiang Mu nodded, his expression tense. "The moment the skeleton wolf appeared, the monitoring showed that the nearby data stream fluctuated greatly. We all know that Noah's world is composed of stable data streams. Only Area D is a special case, full of irregular data flow.

Now it seems that these data streams can not only disturb the wind direction and magnetic field. "

"Well, I got it." Ling Chen stood up and began to chase people away, "Go back and rest, Xiaomu will write a detailed analysis report."

"Yes."

Jiang Cancan and Jiang Mu packed up their things a few times and went back to their tents.Ling Chen looked at the unstoppable heavy rain outside, lost in thought and didn't know what he was thinking.

After 2 minutes, Ling Chen pulled up the hood of the black combat uniform and put it on. Ling Chen took a few steps outside, then backed up, and stood at the door of Jiang Cancan's tent, "Cancan."

Jiang Cancan stuck out his big head, "Brother Chen! Are you afraid of the dark or ghosts? Finally decided to sleep with Master Can and me?"

"Get lost." Ling Chen stretched out his hand, "Bring the sugar here."

Jiang Cancan looked disappointed, took out all the candy from the bag, handed it to Ling Chen, and murmured, "I don't know when I put it in the bag when replenishing supplies, but the packaging is intact and it hasn't expired yet. , Brother Chen, you--"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Ling Chen had stepped into the rain and was walking into the woods.

The heavy rain fell in the woods, and the sound effect was amplified several times immediately.It wasn't completely dark yet, but the light in the dense forest was not good, and there were shadows all around, like hideous beasts.

Ling Chen casually walked through the bushes, and finally stopped under a big tree as if he had discovered something.

The heavy military boots stepped on the dead branches and leaves, his hands were in his pockets, his head in a black hood was raised slightly, and the line of his jaw was tense at the same time, tough and sharp.Looking at the luxuriant branches and leaves above his head, Ling Chen was very stingy with words, "Come down."

There was no movement.

He stood under the tree without moving, counting in his heart, 5-4-3-2-

When "1" was counted out in his heart, a figure fell from the tree like a peregrine falcon and stood firmly two steps away from him.The left hand is holding the black scabbard, and the right hand is holding a taro leaf with a very wide leaf surface, barely covering the rain.

However, the effect of shielding from the rain was obviously bad, Ye Xiao's black hair was sticking to his forehead wetly, and in the dim light, his white skin seemed to be able to glow.He looked at Ling Chen intently with lacquer-like eyes, as if asking him what he wanted from him.

Ling Chen turned his eyes around Ye Xiao's hand holding the taro leaf, and asked him, "Follow me all the time?"

Ye Xiao nodded, and added, "Yes, follow along."

"protect me?"

"Yeah." Ye Xiao hesitated, "You're injured, you need to protect it."

After laughing, Ling Chen asked him again, "How are you going to protect me?"

Hearing him ask this question, Ye Xiao raised the knife in his left hand, "Use it to cut the water, and I will keep watch for you."

After a pause of two seconds, Ling Chen said, "The knife's name is Zhanshui, what's your name?"

Seeing him pursing his lips in embarrassment and his ears turning red, Ling Chen couldn't help teasing him again, using a slow tone, "Can't you tell me?"

Ye Xiao quickly shook his head, "No, of course I can tell you."

His eyes fell on the zipper of Ling Chen's clothes, and his voice was softer, "Ye Xiao, Ye Zi's Ye," he said, shaking the taro leaf in his hand, "Xiang Xiao."

"Ye Xiao." Ling Chen nodded, "There's candy, do you want some?"

His eyes lit up, Ye Xiao nodded, and looked at Ling Chen eagerly, "Think."

Ling Chen took out the candy he had been holding in his hand, and handed it over as before, "It's still toffee, five."

Ye Xiao struggled for two seconds, chose one and picked it up.

Ling Chen: "No more?"

Ye Xiao nodded, "No, one is enough."

"Then why did you ask for three?"

"That's different, that's the reward."

award?Ling Chen withdrew his hand, and continued to hold the remaining candy in his palm, "Since it's a reward, why didn't you take it when Cancan gave it to you?"

Without getting an answer, Ling Chen had extremely rare patience, "Huh?"

Only then did Ye Xiao answer slowly, "He's not you." The voice was so small that it was almost covered by the sound of rain.

But Ling Chen still heard it clearly, "I didn't give it to you, why don't you want it?"

Ye Xiao seriously shook his head, "No."

Turning his head, a few chuckles escaped from his throat, Ling Chen put his hands in his pockets, turned around, "Follow."

Temporary camp.

Jiang Cancan was sitting on the curtain of the tent. After wiping the gun, he began wiping the dagger.When he saw the rain curtain, behind his boss, a young man holding a big leaf to keep out the rain followed step by step, he said in surprise, "Damn it, brother Chen really has embarked on the road of betraying his lust... "

Ling Chen stood in front of Jiang Cancan's tent, "Go and squeeze with Xiaomu, and give your place to Ye—forget it, give me your place, and he sleeps in my place."

Jiang Cancan looked at Ling Chen incredulously, her voice trembling, "...he?"

Ling Chen: "Well, Ye Xiao, the leaf of the leaves, the night of the good night, is there a problem?"

"I only hear the newcomers laughing, but not the old ones crying! Brother Chen, I see through you!" Jiang Cancan's eyes complained.

Ling Chen was impatient, "Don't fucking pretend, you get out or should I let you get out?"

Jiang Cancan jumped up as if he had been stabbed, and waved his hands again and again, "I realize that I don't want to trouble you, old man!" He raised his voice, "Xiaomu, my brother who is homeless and has nowhere to sleep has come to join you!"

Too lazy to listen to Jiang Cancan's yelling, Ling Chen brought the person holding the leaf to his tent, "You sleep here at night, my tent." He added, "This place can also keep watch at night and protect me." Something novel.

Ye Xiao nodded, his wet eyelashes looked like wolf hairs soaked in ink, and he looked at Ling Chen with distinct black and white eyes, "Okay."

After making arrangements, Ling Chen entered Jiang Cancan's tent.As soon as he hung the waterproof combat uniform jacket aside, the communicator on his wrist rang, and the team's channel was full of Jiang Cancan's news swiping the screen.

"Brother Chen, there is no strange smell in my tent, right? I change my socks every day!"

"Brother Chen, this place in District D is really evil. It gets dark after five o'clock. Not only are the four seasons irregular, but also the day and night are irregular..."

"Noah's system is really powerful. It's obviously in the virtual system world, but it's no different from the real world. I sneeze after only a little rain!"

"Brother Chen, could the kid you brought back be from the enemy? His skills are too damn good!"

Ling Chen picked back, "No, the eyes are too clean."

Maybe it was finally answered, and within two seconds, Jiang Cancan's reply appeared on the screen, "Brother Chen, do you still look at your eyes?"

"Ah."

After turning off the communicator, Ling Chen sat for a while, reached out to find three kinds of cold medicines, and took a small bottle of mineral water to Ye Xiao's tent.

As if hearing his footsteps, Ye Xiao had already opened the tent.Ling Chen leaned in and handed him the water in his hand, "You got caught in the rain and took the cold medicine."

Ye Xiao looked at the cold medicine in Ling Chen's hand, and chose one of the three.

Ling Chen raised his eyebrows, "Do you have to choose sugar-coated medicine?"

Ye Xiao swallowed the medicine with water, then nodded, his eyes wandered here and there, but he didn't dare to look at Ling Chen.

Seeing that his ears were so red that they were about to bleed, Ling Chen smiled lightly and got up, "Cold medicine has ingredients to help sleep, go to bed early, I'm going back."

After thinking for a while, he looked at Ye Xiao who was obediently looking up at him with a long knife in his hand, "Sleep at ease, there will be no danger tonight, and you don't need to watch over me for now."

The curtain of the tent was drawn from the outside, Ye Xiao looked at the extra bottle of water, and said seriously, "Good night."

The next morning, Ye Xiao sat up in a daze. Before he woke up, instinct made him grab the long knife and get out of the tent.Looking at the past, five fierce hyenas were surrounding the camp, and from time to time they let out a gasp with the smell of carrion from between their sharp teeth.

Holding the gun in his hand, Jiang Cancan muttered in dismay, "It's so early in the morning that no one can sleep, what the hell! The hyenas have been spawned! Do you want to spawn a Tyrannosaurus rex tomorrow?"

Jiang Mu reported the direction of the wind and reminded him, "Don't push, you will hit your face." Seeing that Jiang Cancan was about to speak again, he blocked him with one sentence, "If you push again, I will beat you."

Jiang Cancan looked at his twin brother with an expression of disbelief, heartbroken, and stomped his foot hard.

Jiang Mu: "..."

When facing the enemy, Ye Xiao always concentrated. After he confirmed where Ling Chen was standing, he didn't look around again.Tightening the white bandage wrapped around his right wrist, holding the long knife, he rushed forward with a few consecutive steps.His speed was extremely fast, as the blade flashed by, and with a short howl, a hyena was chopped off in the neck and turned into a pool of black ash in an instant.

At the same time, Jiang Cancan's hit rate increased significantly, and two shots killed two hyenas in a row. In a short time, three of the five disappeared.

Ye Xiao glanced at Ling Chen next to him again, then turned his wrist over, stretched his forearm muscles, and the light and shadow of the long knife tore through the air, cutting off a hyena's vertebrae. The attacking figure, in the blink of an eye, switched the long knife from his right hand to his left hand, turned the handle of the knife, and pierced the hyena's forehead hard with the tip of the knife backwards.With his movements, the hem of the black clothes was lifted up, and the white of his thin waist was dazzling.

The black and ash scattered, Ye Xiao dropped the knife to the ground, and after standing up straight, he looked in Ling Chen's direction, his eyes tilted his head expectantly, and he compared two fingers, "Two toffees?"
