[Dragon Race][Kai Chu]Until the Day

.

Caesar looked at Chu Zihang's bewildered expression when he was asked, and actually found it funny, "Otherwise?" He felt that he could not hold back any longer, and a place in his heart suddenly became soft; The summer lotus growing out of the shop is illuminated by the sun and swaying with the water.

"Oh. Then our destination is temporarily set to be Fairbanks, the second largest city in Alaska." The guide looked down at the map and forcibly changed the subject.

"You decide." Caesar was delighted.He withdrew his hand from the car window, pulled up the car window, took out three rolls of cash from his pocket and threw them in the cup holder, each roll was fifty, all of which were in face value of one hundred dollars, "Anyway, you come back It was so right to find me."

***

Fairbanks is 4000 miles from Chicago, spanning from the temperate zone to the Arctic Circle.In the evening, they had traveled half the state and landed in an unknown motel next to the interstate.

"Hey, why do we have to live here?" The heir of Gattuso's family looked sad, wishing he could stick it in front of Chu Zihang and wave the money at him.

"It's right next to the interstate highway, so it's convenient and direct." Chu Zihang glanced back at Caesar, feeling baffled by his reaction, "In this season, Alaska has about 12 hours of sunshine every day. We need to As soon as possible. A week or two later, the daily temperature during the day will drop below zero degrees Celsius, the sunshine will be greatly reduced, and the rain and snow season will enter at the same time; freezing rain and snow will hinder travel, which will be very bad for us.”

Caesar followed Chu Zihang into the hotel room.There was not even a decent desk in the hotel room, and there were two squeaky box-spring beds and a bedside table in the middle, and it smelled musty.

Chu Zihang took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, hugged the pillow and spread out his notebook to start making a shopping list.Caesar leaned against the wall, watching Chu Zihang's beautiful ankle protruding from the rolled-up trousers.

"Time is short, and many things can be purchased along the way. We need a full set of cold-proof equipment, including cold-proof clothing, gloves, winter hats, scarves, snow boots, heating pads, snow chains for tires. Enough fuel, self-heating food and Sufficient cans. There is not much demand for weapons and ammunition, and the inventory should be sufficient, after all, we are not going on a mission." Chu Zihang looked up at Caesar, a strand of hair fell on his eyebrows, "Is there anything to add?"

"You can decide on the specific plan, I have no objection." Caesar shrugged, "I just want to remind you that you are still a wounded person and do what you can."

Chu Zihang rubbed his back, "There is nothing serious."

"Change the dressing?" Caesar asked.

"I can do it myself." Chu Zihang looked away.

"Which time did you change the medicine yourself?" Caesar asked back, turned and went out.The off-road vehicle was parked in front of the room in this small broken motel. It took him 30 seconds to find the thing, and when he entered the door, he was carrying a medicine box and a Young's Ketone in his hand.

Caesar pointed to the bathroom, "Of course I don't mind if you want to be on the bed."

Chu Zihang unsteadily jumped off the spring bed, followed into the bathroom, and turned on the light.Then, under Caesar's gaze, he pinched the back collar and took off his jacket.

Caesar put Chu Zihang's guide nameplate aside, and then carefully untied the bandage on the guide's back.The wound had basically scabbed over, and a hideous dark red scar ran through his back.Caesar reapplied the antiseptic ointment and wrapped it in a clean bandage.The adventure that caused this scar was just a few days ago, and he still remembered the smell of flying dust on the dirt slope, but it always felt like a world away.

After finishing his work, he noticed a small piece of bruised skin on the side of Chu Zihang's neck, which was caused by the bruise and hematoma caused by the oozing of venous blood from the previous chaotic injection.Caesar stretched out his hand and carefully stuck his fingertips on it, "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay." Chu Zihang shook his head.

"Are you in pain or not?" Caesar asked standing behind the guide.

Chu Zihang didn't answer, but just reached out to block Caesar's hand on the side of his neck, but was grabbed by the other party.

"Chu Zihang." Caesar lowered his head close to his ear, his voice was low and shaking his eardrums.

Chu Zihang moved his shoulders uncomfortably, "What's wrong?"

"Why did you come back to me?" Caesar let go slightly, so that Chu Zihang could feel a little more comfortable in this awkward position, "The previous time was because Angers wanted to see me; why this time?"

Chu Zihang instinctively wanted to break free.He tried to turn around, but Caesar didn't give him a chance, and propped the guide's back against the wall.

"I remember you said that the ability of the guide bothers you." Caesar looked directly at him, so close that Chu Zihang could even see his own reflection in the pair of blue pupils, "I'm so scared You're off balance."

Chu Zihang was silent. He tried to push Caesar away with his elbow again, but the latter firmly grabbed his wrist.

"So why did you come back to me? Why did you tell me 'you shouldn't be so sad? With your character, you shouldn't care so much about other people's affairs..." Caesar narrowed his eyes.

Chu Zihang's lips moved, and he found that he couldn't answer Caesar's question at all.He chewed on the truth of Professor Schneider's "sinsofomission" in his heart, and he clearly understood that if he didn't come back to Caesar, what awaited him in the future must be regret and regret; but what about the deeper level?He suddenly found that he didn't know how to think; he had never encountered such a situation, and he didn't know how to find such an answer.

The two of them faced each other silently in the small space, the humming of the old fluorescent lights, accompanied by the sound of alternating breaths.Caesar's left hand was pressed against his back, separating him from the cold tiles, and the temperature in his palm penetrated through the layers of gauze, still hot and scalding.

"What answer do you want from me?" Chu Zihang asked after a long silence.

"I thought you knew that, didn't you?"

Caesar lowered his head, and Chu Zihang caught the sentry's intention in an instant, and turned his head to avoid the kiss.

"It's okay. I'm patient with many things, including you." Caesar whispered in his ear, kissing his eyes instead.

##Chapter10 Falling

On the eighth day after leaving Chicago, they finally saw the huge "Alaska" sign on the side of the road.

Caesar held the steering wheel and honestly said that the week of racing with Chu Zihang was the most boring journey he had ever experienced.Before going from Salt Lake City to St. Louis, he stayed in the car for two full days without touching the ground. After all, the situation was urgent, and he could understand it; this time, for more than 4000 miles, Chu Zihang’s schedule was to get up, drive, and tired Eating, sleeping when sleepy, and so on.Mechanical precision, nothing new.

One day they happened to rest in a slightly populated town.Caesar suggested finding a bar to relax.Chu Zihang thought for a while and agreed.

"But I can't drink, someone has to be responsible for driving." Chu Zihang said.The implication is that you can drink Caesar alone, and I can carry it back for you when you are drunk.

Caesar had a constipated expression on his face.

"If you really can't do it, you can go alone? The modification on the car still needs some parts. I'll go to the gas station to get some spare gasoline and supplies. I'll pick you up after drinking." Chu Zihang suggested.

Caesar said forget it, let's go back to the hotel to rest, I'll take a hot bath and go to bed early, hehe.

He pulled his mind back from the memory of the SUV speeding down the empty driveway.The weather outside was not good, the rain mixed with ice slag hit the car windows, and the windshield wipers swayed frantically back and forth.The hot air conditioner was turned on in the car, and the blowing made me a little dizzy.

"I feel like my brain is flooded." He heard Chu Zihang say from the side.

"What the hell." Caesar thought to himself, I'm just out of my mind, at least I'm a partner and investor, but I didn't even enjoy any pleasant journey.

"I'm not joking." Chu Zihang sighed. "I feel your influence on me is growing."

"What do you mean?" Caesar asked.

"You are very angry now." Chu Zihang said, "I think the grooves in your brain are almost overflowing."

"I almost forgot that you were a guide," Caesar commented.

"In the past week, I have been trying to reduce the injection frequency of Young's ketone. I haven't observed any signs of imbalance yet; but I can clearly feel that your influence on me is increasing." Chu Zihang said solemnly.Another thing he didn't say is that he always had the sea in his dreams when he came all the way with Caesar.Occasionally, he woke dimly in the middle of the night and realized that Caesar had just planted a kiss on his forehead.

"What are you trying to do?" Caesar frowned.

"Drug dependence is always bad." Chu Zihang explained.

Caesar was noncommittal.He keenly noticed that since entering the border of Alaska, the guides around him became inexplicably nervous and anxious.He didn't know if it was because of the reduction in Young's ketone.The mechanism by which binding heat occurs has not been clarified.Researchers and biologists have been trying to determine how and why it occurs.But each guide and sentinel is a single case, and each individual's situation varies widely.Specific companions, psychological or physiological effects, may all be the triggers for a thermal burst of binding.

In addition, the weather conditions are not optimistic.As soon as they entered Alaska, they encountered severe weather and a sharp drop in temperature. The average daily temperature dropped directly from 10 degrees Celsius to below freezing point.

"The weather is so bad, are you sure you want to go to Fairbanks?" Caesar held the direction
