third rebirth

At this moment, Ling Chen deeply realized that there was a huge generation gap between the 27-year-old himself and Ye Xiao, who was only three months old.

Sad people.

Ye Xiao tied the bandage back on his right wrist again, and asked hesitantly, "Don't you think...isn't cool?"

Facing Ye Xiao who was eagerly waiting for an answer, what else could Ling Chen do?Just listen to the youngest commander-in-chief of the second department answering sincerely and without any perfunctory, "It's very cool, and it will form a particularly powerful deterrent to the enemy."

With Ling Chen's affirmation, Ye Xiao's anxiety dissipated.He bowed his head to tie a knot at the end of the bandage, and because he was using one hand, the knot was crooked and ugly.

Ling Chen couldn't stand it anymore, reached out and pulled Ye Xiao's hand over, put it on his lap, untied the ugly knot, and tied a standard bow on it again.

Ye Xiao raised his wrist to look over and over, and said in a very surprised tone, "Your knot is much more beautiful than mine!"

Ling Chen let out a "tsk", and felt that his brain was malfunctioning - he was even a little happy when he was praised for tying the bow well.

In the cab, Jiang Cancan was trembling with laughter as she listened to the conversation floating over from the roof of the car, and her hands holding the steering wheel almost twitched.It was extremely hard to babble to vent, but also to lower my voice so as not to be discovered by the two super-hearing people on the roof.

"Hahaha, Master Can is so laughable hahahaha!" He spoke in a low voice, as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat, "Our brother Chen has been crazy in the military area for so many years, and finally met someone who can cure him Already! Hahaha Can Master, I am so happy!"

Jiang Mu was flipping through the three-dimensional map to identify the direction, and glanced at him, "Master Can wants his head to be trampled on the ground by Brother Chen?"

Jiang Cancan's voice was cheerful, "They are on the roof and they don't know haha—ha——" Dazzlingly saw on the team channel of the communicator, the name "Ling Chen" was followed by a sentence, "I'm sorry, I know." Jiang Cancan choked with a "ha" in his throat, and his smile froze quickly.

Jiang Cancan: Damn it, you're still not human, Shunfenger?The fuck can hear it!

On the roof of the car, Ling Chen turned off the communicator and looked into the distance. The group of monitor lizards had been completely thrown away, and the shadows could no longer be seen.Surrounded by plains extending to the sky, the armored vehicles drove forward without any hindrance.Ling Chen knocked on the car cover twice with his backhand, and soon, the speed of the armored car gradually slowed down.

Ye Xiao held the long knife in his left hand, frowned and asked worriedly, "You fired so many guns just now, how is your hand?"

"..." Only then did Ling Chen realize that in order to prevent people from leaving, he still had to pretend to be injured every day.

But it's not too late, and it can be remedied.

So, when Jiang Cancan handed over the driving position to Jiang Mu, he emerged from the roof window, and what caught his eyes was the picture of his commanding Ling covering his right arm with his left hand, frowning and pursing his lips, pretending to be weak.

Jiang Cancan's face was full of crap --- does anyone really believe this fucking terrific acting?What about cold sweat?What about the pale face?A dry action without any supporting details!

Some people really believe it.

Ye Xiao was so anxious that he didn't even care about the knife that was with him for half a second. He stretched out his hands to support Ling Chen, his eyes were full of anxiety, and he asked repeatedly, "What's wrong with you? Is your arm loose? Is it serious? Sure enough, there is no tripod. The recoil force is too great..."

Jiang Cancan was silent. If his memory is correct, Ling Chen was called the "King of Snipers" at the age of 16. He carried a heavy sniper all day like a gust of wind to find people for competitions. Whoever loses will wash the socks of the winner for a month.According to reliable sources, Ling Chen has never washed his socks by relying on such low-level methods!

Ling Chen spoke along, "Well, the muscle in the right arm may be strained, and it doesn't have much strength." After it was over, he gasped with a very realistic "hiss".

Ye Xiao half-kneeled on the roof of the car, his eyes became more worried, "Then can I rub it for you? I know how to do this, rubbing it will make you feel a little more comfortable."

Ling Chen was just pretending, his deltoids and biceps are all very good, rubbing his fart.But facing Ye Xiao's eyes that were about to cry, he passed his arm over, "Okay, then rub it for me, it hurts a bit."

Ye Xiao nodded solemnly, knelt down on the roof of the car as if doing something important, and diligently began to help Ling Chen massage his muscles.

Jiang Cancan, who watched the whole process, refreshed Ling Chen's lower limit again in his heart—the old man became shameless, he really is not human every minute!

Pretend to be weak or something, shameless!

At this time, Ling Chen looked up at Jiang Cancan's protruding head, and raised his eyebrows, meaning—— still?

Jiang Cancan's neck stiffened, he stared back forcefully, and quickly retreated into the carriage like a groundhog, thinking in his heart - I was so fucking unlucky to witness this extremely eye-catching scene, and I feel sorry for myself!

Ye Xiao's attention was all on Ling Chen, and he didn't notice Jiang Cancan who was watching behind him. Seeing Ling Chen's expression changed, he thought he couldn't control his strength, so he asked nervously, "Is it uncomfortable?"

Ling Chen withdrew his gaze, looked down at the thin white hands resting on his deltoid muscles, shook his head slightly, and comforted him, "It's very comfortable, you continue."

Ye Xiao's palms are full of hard calluses because he has been holding knives all year round, similar to Ling Chen's gun calluses.However, Ling Chen's hands are big, and Ye Xiao's hands are a circle or two smaller. His fingers are long and slender, with well-defined joints. The skin on the back of his hands is even whiter and thinner. Putting it on Ling Chen's bulging muscles, the contrast effect will appear in minutes. .Ling Chen glanced at it several times intentionally or unintentionally.

"Well, good!" Ye Xiao was very satisfied with the affirmation, smiled at Ling Chen, lowered his head and continued to massage.

The armored vehicle drove for another half an hour, and finally stopped beside a small mound, and there was a stream tens of meters away.

The previous experience of eating colorless and tasteless nutritional supplements for several days in a row gave Jiang Cancan a great psychological shadow, which made Cancan, whose ten fingers do not touch Yang Chunshui, cook very aggressively.Snatching the four military helmets from Jiang Mu's hands, Jiang Cancan ran to the stream to wash them.

Jiang Mu looked at the empty hand expressionlessly, said nothing, and turned back to the carriage to look for the cans he needed.

Ling Chen was enjoying the treatment of the wounded, and Ye Xiao even helped him to unscrew the lid of the military kettle, which made Ling Chen feel like he was disabled.

But he has a good mentality, self-loathing, guilt, and shame. These mentalities have nothing to do with him. He lay on the grass with the breeze blowing, chatting with Ye Xiao casually.

"Just now in the car, Cancan wanted to touch your knife, why didn't you let me?" His tone was soft, and he didn't mean to blame, just pure curiosity, or pure idleness.

Ye Xiao grabbed the scabbard, serious, "Zhan Shui doesn't like others to touch it."

Ling Chen understands that some people are obsessed with the cleanliness of their special weapons. For example, he used to have a gun, but no one else could touch it.

But seeing Ye Xiao's serious face, Ling Chen wanted to tease him again, so he bent his long legs, looked up at Ye Xiao who was sitting next to him, and lowered his voice, "Then what if I want to touch it?"

What Ling Chen didn't expect was that in the next second, Ye Xiao handed the pitch-black long knife in front of him without any hesitation, which made his eyes a little bit stunned.

Ye Xiao handed the knife to Ling Chen again, "Here you are." There was pure trust in his eyes.

Ling Chen sat up, took the knife in his hand, and his mind was a little complicated.

After these two or three days, it's impossible for him not to notice that Ye Xiao's attitude towards him is very different - he only eats the food he handed him, and he only cares about protecting him, and only touches the knife for him.

It made him even feel that Ye Xiao's bottom line for him was that there was no bottom line.

While thinking, Ling Chen looked down at the knife he was holding in his hand. The scabbard and handle were pure black. The total length was about [-] centimeters. About five centimeters in length, there are four blood grooves on both sides.

After unsheathing, the coldness of the silver-white blade reminded Ling Chen of the light that fell from the sky when he was besieged by the skeleton wolf.

He wanted to ask if you knew me before, but he didn't ask until he returned the knife.

Ling Chen: "It's a good knife."

Ye Xiao also nodded happily, "Well, chopping water is good!"

Ling Chen's eyes softened, and he asked Ye Xiao, "The sweet milk is gone, but you jumped out of the carriage today and killed a monitor lizard, the point is that you were not injured, very good, do you want other rewards? "

Ye Xiao didn't expect that there would be a reward, so he unconsciously leaned towards Ling Chen's position, his brows were full of smiles, he suppressed his excitement, and his tone was excited, "Yes! I want a reward!"

"Hmm." Ling Chen picked up local materials, rummaged on the ground for a while, picked out more than a dozen flexible and slender grass stems, removed the leaves and straightened them, then pinched the heads and tails.He sat idly, turning his fingers to and fro with great dexterity.

As the things in his hands gradually took shape, Ye Xiao's eyes opened wider and wider. When Ling Chen handed the finished straw cage to Ye Xiao, the smile in Ye Xiao's eyes was like spring water, and he couldn't close it. live.

"Why do you know everything?" Ye Xiao held the small straw cage that was not as big as a palm and couldn't put it down, looking over and over again.

Seeing that he liked it, Ling Chen found a few more grass stalks, and after a while, a thin straw rope appeared in his hand, which usually only held sabers and swung heavy weapons.

In the end, Ling Chen broke a moderately hard stalk, tied one end of the thin grass rope to the stalk, and tied the other end to a small straw cage, making it into a small portable lantern for Ye Xiao to hold, and very interestingly Pinned a light blue wild flower the size of a fingernail to the small cage.

After finishing, he lay back on the grass again and asked Ye Xiao, "Do you like it?"

Ye Xiao nodded repeatedly: "I like it!"

Ling Chen: "Am I formidable?"

Ye Xiao nodded again and again: "Amazing!"

Ling Chen was satisfied.

How much does Ye Xiao like this little straw lantern?Anyway, when Jiang Cancan was chasing him, he must take a look to open his eyes. After chasing him for half an hour, Ye Xiao didn't agree, and didn't even look at him.Carry things, eat, and do everything wherever you go.

Jiang Cancan was extremely annoyed, "The moral bottom line of our team has been lowered by Brother Chen! Brother Chen actually has the nerve to use this low-level method of coaxing little girls!"

Ling Chen turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, his tone was flat, but the content was extremely arrogant, "I can make a small cage, if there are fireflies, I can catch one and put it in it for him, will you?"

Jiang Cancan said: "It's really not—Master Can is so mad!"

Carefully rubbing Ye Xiao, who was playing with a small straw cage, to the side, gently tugged at the corner of Ling Chen's coat, and waited for someone to look down at him before he asked, "Can you really put fireflies in it?"

Ling Chen said "Yes", "Yes. But there are no fireflies here, and there will be some in the future. I'll catch a few for you and put them in. It will really be a little lantern."

Ye Xiao nodded expectantly with his eyes bent, and went back to the carriage by himself first, so as not to disturb Ling Chen and the others talking about things.

At night, a few people were too lazy to set up a tent, so they squeezed into the carriage to sleep.Ling Chen put his hand on Ye Xiao's shoulder, led him to the innermost part of the carriage, and pointed, "You sleep here."

With a long knife in one hand and a small lantern in the other, Ye Xiao raised his head and asked Ling Chen, "What about you?"

"I sleep next to you."

Ye Xiao's ears turned red again.

Ling Chen laughed at him, "Why are you shy again?"

"No... no."

"Okay, if you say no, there will be no."

In the middle of the night, Ling Chen was woken up by Jiang Cancan.He opened his eyes, without any sleepiness in his expression, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Ling Chen woke up, and Ye Xiao who was next to him also woke up vigilantly, but his expression was still a little confused.Ling Chen stretched out his hands to cover his eyes, so as not to let his eyes be stimulated by the light, and comforted him in a low voice, "Go to sleep a little longer."

Ye Xiao nodded, hugged the little straw lantern and fell asleep again.

Ling Chen gestured to Jiang Mu, telling him to stay in the car, and he and Jiang Cancan jumped out of the car.After walking a dozen steps away, Ling Chen asked Jiang Cancan, "What's the panic?"

Jiang Cancan's muscles were tense, and he showed Ling Chen the three metal plates in his hand, his throat was dry, "I came out to go to the bathroom, and I was standing up and about to pee, when I found something reflecting light in the grass, I picked it up and took a look, It's a nameplate."

Ling Chen looked at the dragon shape engraved on the metal sign, and his voice sank, "Youlong's sign."

Everyone in the Youlong Special Operations Team and the Cheetah Special Operations Team has an identity plate, because with this team name, every mission they set out represents danger.Every time you complete a mission alive, you are a narrow escape.

In this case, in order to avoid being unable to identify the deceased, it is required that the nameplate must be carried with him whenever the mission is performed.

Now, the nameplate was picked up by Jiang Cancan.

Jiang Cancan said in a hoarse voice, "It's too dark to see if there are signs of a fight. But only the nameplate is left here, and the person must have... gone."

In the Noah System world, everything, including everyone, is made up of data.Even if the real world is 100% replicated, people living in Noah's world will catch a cold due to rain, bleed due to injury, and recover from illness due to medicine, but there is only one thing that is different.

In Noah's world, when a person dies, he disappears immediately.At the same time, corresponding to a certain life-support cabin in the real world, the "clearing of the dead" procedure will be carried out, and the brain-dead people in the cabin will be moved to the designated place for processing.

Death is real death.

Jiang Cancan's eyes were a little red, "Damn it! Didn't you say that the people from Youlong came into Zone D? Those bastards... Master Can was killed before I taught them how to shoot monsters! I—" He took a sharp breath and turned his face away.

Ling Chen stuffed the three cards into Jiang Cancan's pocket, and lowered his piercing eyes, "Why are you so angry, people are dead, just avenge them."

After finishing speaking, he pulled the black coat on his shoulders, his eyes darkened, "Go back, this revenge will be avenged."

Back in the carriage, Ling Chen gestured to Jiang Mu to bring Jiang Cancan back, and lay down next to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao heard the movement and noticed that the breath of the person next to him was not right, as if a dormant beast had been irritated.He opened his eyes and looked at Ling Chen, feeling a little worried.

Sensing his gaze, Ling Chen was silent for a while, and asked Ye Xiao abruptly, "If one day I die, will you avenge me?"

Ye Xiao's hand holding the small straw lantern tightened subconsciously, a bloody picture flashed in his mind, he heard himself say, "I won't die, I will protect you."

Even at the cost of my life, I will not let you die.
