The villain he is too charming

Lin Zihan looked at the picture cut from the game.

On the virtual screen, the man turned his head sideways, the moonlight poured through the glass on his cold white cheeks, showing a bit of fragility, his eyes were slightly lowered, and the slender eyelashes reflected a light shadow on the eyelids.

He stared at a tiny velvet flower that he was pinching with his fingertips, and when he blew it gently, the catkins immediately fluttered and scattered in the air.

Lin Zihan keeps zooming in on the picture, and the picture freezes on a little silky flying catkins floating in the air.

[Search now. ]

Five seconds later, Lin Zihan looked at the precisely searched information and felt a little dizzy.

He said, why does it look so familiar.

In the dark age, there used to be a terrifying mutant plant.It has a strong reproductive ability, can live on the ground, quickly occupy most of the land, and is difficult to eradicate.Of course, the most shocking thing is its beautiful and bloody way of eating.

When the flying catkins it emits meet a creature, they will tightly penetrate into the creature's body, sucking everything from the creature as nutrients, and the filamentous tentacles erode the creature's skin, penetrate into the blood, and form a huge net, until it spreads all over the body. Blooming inside the body.

In the end, what is left is the newborn giant velvet flower.

The small and harmless velvet flower held by the NPC named Xu Rong was actually the predecessor of this terrifying and bloody mutated plant.

Lin Zihan rubbed his head, the details of this game are too real.

He had read a monograph that specifically described a small city that was overrun by this mutated plant.At first, no one cared; later, no one could leave.That city has become a land of white terror, and no one dares to enter.

Lin Zihan thought of the words and sentences described in the book, as well as the few pictures attached, and his scalp tingled.

Fortunately, for some reason, from that day on, the aggressiveness of the mutated plants gradually disappeared, and the wandering zombies completely fell down.

It was as if the whole world had been purified.

The end is over.

Lin Zihan clicked on a picture he found.The root system of the white velvet flower is as tough and straight as a tree, and the blooming velvet flower is as huge as a ball, all over the wild.It's really hard to imagine that before the end, the unmutated it is so small and weak, and it will shatter with a light pinch.

[What a surprising contrast. ]

The apocalypse has been over for a hundred years, and the mutated plants no longer have strong aggressiveness, but they will not return to their original form.Those who survived the apocalypse died long ago, and newborn children got used to their new environment.

The past is gradually forgotten.

Lin Zihan also had to admit that the reason he was so familiar with this plant was partly because of his favorite niche high-tech company—rong, whose brand image was unexpectedly similar to this plant.

Rong is a company that is keen on researching and developing products that protect the rights and interests of ordinary people.The company does not have many product lines, and the publicity is extremely low-key, and most of the annual profits are invested in public welfare.

If he hadn't been curious and had logged on to the private forum set up by Rong users, Lin Zihan would not have known that the company's predecessor could be traced back to 80 years ago.

Lin Zihan unconsciously clicked on Rong's official website, and he was greeted with a vast sea of ​​stars, and then scrolled down to a concise and smooth product introduction.Of course, the floating velvet flower imprint is engraved on each generation of products, and it seems that it has never left.

[Is it a coincidence? ]

---

After Xu Rong woke up, he unconsciously looked to his side.

nobody.

The clothes on the bedside table were neatly folded.

After thinking about it, he went straight to the bathroom.

Xu Rong looked at himself in the mirror, his face was as pale as snow, as if he had lost all blood.

He took off his clothes and turned on the shower head. The cold water passed over his skin without feeling cold at all.

He stretched out his right hand, touched the skin at the heart, suddenly passed through the flesh and blood, and touched the extremely hard crystal nucleus.

it is true.

Xu Rong was stunned and shrank a little.

That is his crystal nucleus, or it is called the brain nucleus.

Unlike other mutants, his brain nucleus grows on top of the heart.

In the mirror, his fingertips were covered with blood. Drops of bright red blood flowed down and fell into the smooth edge of the sink.

The hideous crack on the chest is healing quickly, and it will soon return to its original state.

This is the ability of advanced mutants, transformation and resurrection.

Even if it is injured and loses part of its body, the mutant can restore its original appearance by replenishing energy.

Unless the brain is split open, the brain core is dug out, or the fire burns out and the flesh and blood are melted away.

Mutants lose the ability to resurrect.

The real death came.

Xu Rong closed his eyes, supported the wall with his hands, and let the cold water wash down.

Wash everything away.

-

In the living room, everyone had a simple breakfast and began to pack their necessary bags.

Yan Guining found two air nail guns, handed them over to two strong boys who had been in the Taekwondo Club, and explained how to use them.

"This looks good." The boy with the air nail gun said aloud, "It's much better than the fire axe. It saves effort and is easy."

Yan Guining remained silent, these students were not trained and could not use bows and crossbows with low sound.As for the guns, he was even more worried about handing them over to them.

"Why do you still have this at your senior's house?" A girl asked curiously.

Yan Guining tidied up his clothes carefully, packed his backpack, and replied lightly: "It's left over from the house renovation."

After finishing speaking, Yan Guining turned his head and planned to put some comfort food.Just in time to see Xu Rong walking from the corridor, he was wearing a large blue shirt and pure black trousers.

His face was as pale as snow, and his eyes were deep and quiet, like the surface of a lake under the moonlight, still with a bit of shimmer.

"Wake up." Yan Guining took the small bag of bread left on the coffee table and walked over, "Eat some of this."

Xu Rong took it, tore open a small mouth, and bit it carefully.

"It's unpalatable." He leaned lazily against the partition wall, making a weak voice.

"What do you want to eat?" Yan Guining asked, his tone still gentle.

Xu Rong didn't know what to do, looked at his neck, and chuckled softly.

Yan Guining looked at the condensed hair on his forehead, stretched out his hand to touch it lightly, it was moist.

"Take a shower."

"Ah."

"The water is cold, wash less." Yan Guining frowned slightly, and after a pause for a few seconds, he said warmly, "When we get to the shelter, there will be hot water there."

Xu Rong tore off a slice of bread, thought about it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Give me some food."

Yan Guining chewed twice and swallowed.

"It's not very fresh."

Xu Rong picked up the bread bag and looked at the date on it. It was produced last month and has a shelf life of seven months.

Nonsense.

"Come here." In the study, Fu Xin called Xu Rong.

"what's up?"

Xu Rong didn't move, and raised his voice to reply.

no respond.

Yan Guining went to the room to get a soft towel and wiped his hair.

"Senior Yan." A girl called out.

"Go and do your work." Xu Rong grabbed the towel and said disapprovingly.

"What do you want to eat, tell me directly." Yan Guining buttoned up the scattered buttons on the top of his neckline for him, and said softly, "I'll pay attention later."

Xu Rong lowered his head, he heard a girl beside the sofa murmur something.

"Hypocritical. If you're hungry, you can eat everything."

Xu Rong pinched a piece of bread and put it in his mouth.

no taste.

"What's the matter?" He walked to the study, leaned lazily against the wall, and looked at a certain professor who occupied the study.

"Come in and close the door."

A completely imperative tone.

Bad temper.

Xu Rong cursed inwardly.

He walked in, turned around and pushed the door hard.

bang bang.

The door closed, and Xu Rong looked at him.

At this moment, Fu Xin's expression was icy and cold, and his inorganic eyes made people feel terrified.

It fit the image he was familiar with.

"come over."

"What are you crazy about?"

Xu Rong walked in, but deliberately kept a distance.

Until, he saw the beige cardboard on the desk.

The above two small paintings are simple and straightforward.

Xu Rong paused, and said in a concentrated voice: "Where did you come from?"

Only Fu Xin's cold and indifferent expression was in front of him.

Xu Rong took a few steps, and stretched out his hand to grab the jammed paper, but just now a pair of strong hands pulled him tightly.

He almost collapsed on the cold desk, and had to raise his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a face with a bit of anger.

He couldn't help being in a daze for a few seconds, maybe it was an illusion.

How could someone like Fu Xin get angry?

He doesn't always maintain that cold appearance, unreasonable, not like a real person.

"do not move."

The voice above the head was cold and low, as if it could not be refused.

Xu Rong wanted to prop up his body with the other hand, but after hearing this, he felt aggrieved and said, "What are you thinking?"

"Why?" Xu Rong's voice gradually dropped.

Why, take away his jammed paper.

"You gave it to me." Fu Xin responded coldly.

"When did I give it to you?" Xu Rong was a little irritable, "Why don't I know?"

The sudden puncture of his little thoughts made him inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Ah."

Xu Rong snorted, that's right.

"You do not know."

Xu Rong immediately wanted to refute, but something was stuffed between his lips and teeth.

The smell of fresh blood instantly stimulated his taste buds, and the instinct of his body made him take a deep sip involuntarily, as if he had forgotten the time and place, and only blood was in his mind.

He greedily inhaled the blood from his fingertips, and couldn't help but lick it all over.

Fu Xin stretched out his hand, rubbed his hair, and sighed softly.

"one way or another."

"Don't hurt your body."

Xu Rong was stunned, how did he know.

"are you hungry?"

Xu Rong slowly propped up his body, just touched the blood, which made his body a little limp.After hearing this, the longing in his mind seemed to be aroused again, he couldn't help licking the corners of his lips, his half-bent arms trembled slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'll eat you right away." Xu Rong's words were somewhat playful.

Fu Xin raised his hand, slender fingertips across the hem of the clothes, and quickly unbuttoned most of the shirt, revealing his thin and tough shoulders.

"You won't." He said loudly.

"Don't talk too soon." Xu Rong tilted his head slightly, showing a bit of sarcasm, "Maybe, I will hate you."

"If I hate a person, I must make him suffer."

Xu Rong raised his head, wanting to see clearly whether that face was still indifferent, but he saw blankness.Fu Xin's eyes were empty, as if he had lost consciousness.

After nearly ten seconds, he regained his composure and said coldly, "Maybe."

"But it doesn't matter." Fu Xin leaned slightly, quietly staring at his slightly flamboyant and arrogant face.Perhaps, only I can see the faint tiredness in his eyes.

"I can stand it."

Xu Rong felt a little hot, and his chest swelled slightly.

He bit the neck in front of him almost fiercely, his teeth scratched the skin, fresh blood poured into his throat, the strong fragrance in the air wanted to melt him, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

why?

Why can you always say these words so easily.

-

"Your gun." Xu Rong handed back the gun he asked for back from Yan Guining to Lin Zihan, he looked at Lin Zihan who seemed particularly silent, and said out loud, "You are a smart man."

Lin Zihan looked at the gun on his waist, and understood what he meant, don't make any small moves.This is too strange, this virtual NC has always had unknown doubts about him.

Lin Zihan thought, was what he said yesterday really a procedural error?

Will the virtual NC also question the reality of this world?

Xu Rong looked at the truck, Yan Guining was carrying the necessary supplies with everyone, and several boys were also helping.Of course, there is no doubt that Yan Guining's ability played a huge role.

Lin Zihan clenched the gun in his hand, carefully watching the black energy streamer floating in the air.

Xu Rong stretched out his hand, wanting to touch a small piece of streamer floating in front of him.

This is the concretized object condensed by Yan Guining's ability. He has never been unfamiliar with it, and even in his memory, many mutants have died from this black energy.

Among them, there are even his subordinates.

"Don't touch it." Lin Zihan looked at his movements and said suddenly.As far as he knew, most of the awakened people couldn't perfectly control their abilities when they first awakened, and ordinary people were likely to be hurt by the overflowing energy.

Xu Rong raised his fingertips, and the black energy was continuously compressed, condensing into tiny ropes, following where the fingertips passed, a heart was condensed.

Immediately afterwards, the energy dissipated toward the center, gradually filling the entire heart.

"Black heart." Xu Rong poked it, and it felt soft.Black energy wrapped around his fingertips, chasing his movements, so docile to a pitiful gesture.

Xu Rong has seen it turn into a sharp blade to cut off the mutant's body, or condense into a thin closed ball, cover the mutant, draw air, compress it tightly, and with a bang, the flesh and blood burst.Like a child, it will hook out the brain nucleus mischievously, and then swallow it whole.

That is the nightmare of many mutants.

Lin Zihan stared blankly at the energy entangled with Xu Rong's fingertips, and felt a slight shock in his heart.

He remembered a popular science warning message he had seen on the virtual internet.

[Without sufficient protective measures, do not approach the awakened who has just awakened the ability easily.When the awakened person loses control, the abilities are all driven by the awakened person's instinct.This instinct can be awakened and it is difficult to predict. ]

[Even close friends, family members, and lovers may be hurt. ]

[Unless it is absolute trust and love. ]

Is this the same setting for this game?He looked at the awakened person with a gentle face, it was so similar to real people in history, Lin Zihan couldn't find any loopholes.

But why the overflowing, uncontrolled ability is so docile and harmless.Lin Zihan looked at the black ribbon of energy surrounding Xu Rong, it was really special.

"You envy the awakened ones." Xu Rong withdrew his hand, turned to look at the slightly pensive young man.

Lin Zihan smiled covertly, "Who doesn't yearn for power?"

"It's different." Xu Rong said lightly, "Some people use their strength to do evil, while others use their strength to do good."

"For me, power is used to protect people."

"Whether it's protecting yourself or others."

Lin Zihan's smile froze a little, and he tilted his head.

-

Fu Xin planned the next driving route.He didn't choose the main road. When the disaster just happened, the main road was full of vehicles, and too many people wanted to see a doctor and escape.

However, before they could escape, most of them were infected and turned into zombies.The tide of corpses rushed out from the hospital, and most of the few survivors abandoned their cars and fled.

Down the corridor, Xu Rong waited.

Until, I saw a figure.

That figure, very lonely, walked steadily, getting closer and closer, with a strange sense of familiarity.

Xu Rong unconsciously looked around, most of the people had already boarded the car.He saw the cold and indifferent eyes on the driver's seat of the car.

Xu Rong was stunned, it wasn't him.

"Let's go."

Xu Rong turned around and saw that face clearly, gentle and handsome, even too gentle, without sharpness.

Xu Rong responded lightly, and walked into the car silently.

Yan Guining was driving the truck, and said softly, "Don't worry, we'll be there soon."

Xu Rong was sitting in the passenger seat, and his eyes were unconsciously placed on the glued ornaments placed on the wooden box.

Inside the round and smooth ball, there is a dandelion plant, and the white fluff is clearly visible.

"Does it look good?" the person next to him asked.

"You did it." Xu Rong paused and said in a low voice.

no respond.

Xu Rong closed his eyes, he knew why.

He thought he did laugh at him.Yan Guining's hands are very skillful, he has knitted scarves, gloves, done a lot of handicrafts, and he is also good at cooking.Such a man would, not surprisingly, make a good husband.Happy family, happy life.

Unfortunately, he is the main character.Still the protagonist in the dark and struggling doomsday, destined to move forward with heavy burdens.

Xu Rong has seen too many people, and he clearly understood the difference between him when he was young.

He's too weak and takes feelings too seriously.This means, too easily injured.

Xu Rong has always restrained himself and deliberately kept a distance from him, even though his father adopted him.But that didn't work, he always came to me pitifully.

So as he got older, Xu Rong always taunted him, trying to distance himself from each other.

After all, fate made them enemies.

Xu Rong thought he had succeeded.They drifted away and gradually became less important people to each other.

Even, fighting each other on the battlefield.

In the last episode, when he stopped occasionally, Xu Rong would also think about when he changed into that cold and strange appearance.His abilities are so dark and heavy, he cast away the softness of the past, leaving only the piercing blade.

In any case, he is still alive and well.

He should have forgotten himself, Mr. Xu Rong guessed so.

But now it seems that fear is wrong.

Xu Rong opened his eyes and looked out the window lazily, thinking sadly in his heart.

The small car ahead was driven by Fu Xin, and there were two men and a woman on it.Lin Zihan and the three boys accompanied the girls in the back compartment of the truck, getting along with some supplies.

When returning to the gate of the community, the car in front stopped.Fu Xin walked down, walked to the mutant that burned yesterday, and picked up a crystal nucleus from the ashes.

Xu Rong was able to see clearly, he took out a bottle of water and poured it on the blood-red crystal nucleus.Then he took out the paper, wiped it, and put it in his breast pocket.

The car continued to move forward, but Xu Rong couldn't help but think about his sight from afar.

Those eyes were cold and hard, like polar glaciers, which seemed impossible to melt.But at that moment, Xu Rong saw Qianqian's tenderness, as if he had returned to a certain corner of his memory.

The people in the temple are still cheering and celebrating.They don't know, soon everything they believe in and everything they rely on will collapse.

In the towering temple, a high-level banquet was held.The mutant's interior split apart, bloody carnage took place, and the blazing fire destroyed everything.

The kings and priests of the mutant camp died in the fire.

Humanity wins.

When Xu Rong woke up, he saw a pair of eyes, as quiet as a lake, gentle and gentle.

It was just a few seconds, but Xu Rong remembered it for a long time.Perhaps, it is too rare.What he was familiar with were those inorganic, cold eyes, which seemed to have eliminated emotion, leaving only thinking and logic.

He was standing too high and far away for his companions to understand.

"you're awake."

Xu Rong thought, he must have laughed at that time.

Most of his mutant companions died in the fire, but he woke up from Fu Xin's laboratory.He is still alive, but too many lives died because of him.

Xu Rong closed his eyes, thinking of the heavy embrace in the raging fire.After his body recovered, he carried out that crazy plan with Fu Xin as agreed.

His mission is over.

Xu Rong's eyes were closed tightly, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he had a good dream.

There was a ticking sound.

Blood fell into the lips and teeth, and poured into the throat.

He couldn't help chasing after the scented blood, like a newborn child chasing instinct, ignoring everything, desperately longing for it.

He indulged himself and indulged in this.

He pressed his lips against his fingertips to suck and lick this rare food.

the blood of his enemies...

-

Lin Zihan sat in the back of the truck, quietly staying in a corner.

He held his gun firmly.

[Lin Zihan, are you okay? ]

[fine. ]

Weird.

Lin Zihan lowered his head, it can be said that he was driven to this truck.The NPCs sitting next to them basically have no force, and they don't even need to pick up guns, they are so vulnerable.

Unlike Fang Xiu, who searched for information, before the start of the game's closed beta, he had been exercising and training in various ways to improve his strength.

He looks at the chat panel.

Fang Xiu sent a screenshot.

It was a blood-colored crystal nucleus, bright and shining, seemingly invincible.

[It’s so beautiful, it’s similar to what I saw in the virtual network’s museum before. ]

Lin Zihan tilted his head and did not respond.

Is there a real one in his house?

Taking advantage of the time, he logged on to the virtual network and opened Rong's user forum.

Rong's brand identity has always been a mystery.

Lin Zihan remembered that some users once complained that Rong's products have been used by three generations of the family, but the mark has not been changed, and they are tired of seeing it.

Of course, some people have also discussed the prototype of the imprint, and some people have proposed that it is more similar to a giant velvet flower in the wild, but it has been opposed.

Last night, he made a comparison picture of the velvet flower screenshot in the game and Rong's brand imprint, and posted it on the private forum built by Rong users.

I also wrote a long piece of popular science about this plant, and then stated that the picture was taken from the game "Doomsday".

After one night, there have been many messages.

[Unlocked. ]

[The host is so strong that he actually got the qualification for the closed beta of "The Doomsday Comes".I hate my hands! ! ! ]

[It turns out that the poster in the high-rise building who discussed Rong's brand imprint on that forum wasn't completely nonsense.Who knows, Rong took a pre-dark age animal as his brand identity.It's really that huge velvet flower, but it's not mutated. ]

[I'll just say...a bonus video, a dynamic brand advert 30 years ago. ]

Lin Zihan clicked on the video, and there were two young men in white shirts on the turquoise grass.One of them was sitting on the ground, while the other was leaning on his arms, pinching a small velvet flower with his thin white fingertips, and the breeze was blowing gently, and the tidbits danced lightly.

The angle of view is shot from the side of the two, the glaring sunlight and the black hair blowing in the wind cover their faces, leaving only the slightly raised corners of their lips.

The beauty is breath-taking.

Lin Zihan felt a sense of inexplicable familiarity, and then scrolled down to read the message.

[Laughs silly.I remember that many people used this video to slap users who pointed out that the brand logo of rong was that kind of huge velvet flower. ]

[In archeology.However, inexplicably feel that this video is very similar to the finger exposed in the picture posted by the host.How is this going! ! !Forgot to mention, I am a modeling professional, and now I am an avatar architect. ]

[Landlord, are you sure you don’t want to post a full picture? ]

[Please post a full picture!God knows, I have collected brand advertising videos from all years of Rong.Every ten years, Rong will release a special two-person scene promotional video.But, never saw...the face. ]

[Three seconds of silence.No, it's too funny, it's really funny. ]

Lin Zihan frowned, and continued to read.

[Continuing from the above, the first [-]-year advertisement released by Rong is about these two people. There are now eight advertisements, and the characters have not changed.In the past, I always wondered whether the two people in the promotional video were the founders of the company.At first it was a live-action shoot, and I didn't want to disclose it, so I didn't show my face.Later, it was a virtual character concept film produced by the company. In order to commemorate the founder, it followed the original intention of the founder and did not show his face. ]

[Sounds quite romantic... Rong really has a long relationship, it has lasted for so many years. ]

[Don't mention it, I asked an industry leader when I was in advanced studies.I learned that Rong's [-]-year special promotional video, each one is a virtual character.There are no real people!My heart is broken for cheating on my relationship for years. ]

[It's so miserable. ]

[I have to say that Rong's virtual technology is really good.So many years ago, virtual characters could simulate so real. ]

Lin Zihan paused, uploaded the screenshot of the panorama, and said not to wantonly spread spoofs.Remind people in the forum that the nc of "Doomsday" has certain rights.

After sending, Lin Zihan looked at the chat panel.

Fang Xiu: Lin Zihan, have you checked the forum? Recently, there is a particularly popular post.There was a player named Zhu He, who actually mixed into the mutant camp.From time to time, he will send some live broadcasts and screen recordings, and invite players to play mutant camps with him.

Fang Xiu: To be honest, compared with those wandering zombie players, he is really cool.Being able to move, eat and drink, and covered by an oss, this luck is really out of the question.

Just when Lin Zihan was about to reply, the id in the game received a new message.

[Zhu He: Brother, have you really found the priest of the temple, the spiritual leader of the mutant camp? ]

Lin Zihan lowered his head and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

of course.

Who else but him?

Lin Zihan once again thought of the official speech of "The Doomsday Comes".

[There are infinite possibilities here, and fate is not static. 】

Yes, the game's plot is not entirely historical.

From the diary of Fang Xiu's great-grandfather Fang Hai, Lin Zihan learned that: Fang Hai was rescued before reaching the refuge, when he joined the team of Marshal Yan, and he was only five people.Fang Hai never mentioned anything about Marshal Yan's younger brother.

This means that Marshal Yan's younger brother died long ago.

If history is completely followed, the NPC named Xu Rong should have been infected and died by this time.

What he expected, that powerful and dazzling existence should also appear.

However, no.

[Joo Hyuk: Brother, are you there?That boss is the boss of the game. I checked the information, and it seems that that boss is more influential in history than the king of mutants I'm following now. ]

[Lin Zihan: He exists in the team I am in now. ]

[Zhu Hyuk: No, he should still be human.How do you know it's him? ]

[Lin Zihan: It's very simple, let him be infected. ]

[Zhu He: All right, brother, it’s really ruthless. ]

Lin Zihan lowered his head and smiled slightly.

It's just a game, isn't it?

From the beginning to the end, what he was looking forward to was never the protected ordinary person, but the powerful and intelligent existence that led the mutants.

[Power is used to protect people. 】

That nc who doesn't have enough strength and relies on human protection actually said that.

ridiculous!
