Has the captain mutated today? [End Times]

After hanging up on Yang Rui's call, Shi Qi picked up the scarf on the sofa, only to realize that she forgot to wear a coat when she went out the door.

He hesitated for a moment, then ran towards the city wall without looking back.

Tonight's moonlight is exceptionally bright, and the surrounding stars are somewhat eclipsed by the reflection.

Kind of like the night he first met Hull.

He was a student at the Secret Service Academy at the time.

That year, Area [-] near Area [-] was about to be breached by Ohm. The population density of Area [-] was three times that of Area [-], and its area was also relatively large among all safe areas. The Ohm tide came fiercely that night. , it is obviously unrealistic to evacuate everyone by themselves.

Several nearby safe areas have spontaneously started to second staff to Area [-], and the administrators of Area [-] even opened the application for the graduating class of the academy. Get a bunch of points.

Shiqi was one of those who voluntarily signed up to go to District [-] to assist in the evacuation of residents.

But his purpose is not purely to save people.

When graduating from the college, you need to submit a series of identity certificates such as birth certificates again, and when Shi Qi enrolled, he relied on... directly stuffing three gold bars to the uncle in charge of registration...

Later, when I met Mu Cheng, after learning that Shiqi graduated and needed a birth certificate that matched the fake parents’ names on the registration form, I got involved and contacted a person in the black gold market who specializes in fake identities. People, codenamed F.

F The asking price is high, and the work efficiency is also very fast.

As soon as Shiqi sent the request on the front foot, the package was received on the back foot.

What followed with the package was an explosive news. His classmate pulled him and asked in a low voice, "Did you know? They said that an ING assistant was arrested in District [-], and he would be arrested in a few days." He was escorted back to the council area for interrogation."

At that time, everyone thought that Ohm was a new species discovered by ING, and anyone or anything related to this company would be strongly condemned.

assistant……

Was it possible that the assistant knew what was going on with Dad?

Why did Dad become...

And before the assistant who didn't know whether it was true or not was transferred, the underground passage outside the area [-], which was already blocked, suddenly collapsed a second time, revealing a tunnel leading directly to the center of area [-] for the hungry Ohm.

Shi Qi signed up to participate in the rescue, still holding a glimmer of hope.

What if I ran into that assistant?

In the end, the assistant didn't meet him. Instead, he met H who was feared and admired by the students when he was escorting a mother and child to the evacuated maglev vehicle.

It is said that the boss with the most points is cruel and cold-blooded, ruthless and ungrateful, never caring about the life and death of his teammates.

At that time, Shiqi just glanced at it from a distance, he was busy taking the mother and son to avoid the building that was about to collapse, while H led his team to firmly block the ferocious Ohm at the end of the street, leaving them behind sufficient time to evacuate.

Looking from a distance, I don't know if it was Shi Qi's illusion, but Mo Lan's eyes seemed to stop on him.

Between the thick smoke and the flames, their eyes met for a brief moment, and then they were completely blocked by the fallen residential buildings.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and the [-]th district finally fell completely. The administrator in charge of the [-]th district detonated all the explosives buried in the district, and chose to die with Ohm who was raging in the district.

The second time I saw Hull was the day when Shiqi was officially assigned to Team [-].

Later, their teammates changed batch after batch. In a short period of time, he was promoted from team member to vice captain, and he climbed up the standings very quickly...

At that time, he had already noticed that the captain treated him differently from others.

The rumored ruthless captain was too kind to him.

And with Yao Zhijie's painful lesson before him, Shi Qi was somewhat instinctively afraid of this seemingly unreasonable good.

"What are you afraid of?" Maybe it was his resistance that became more and more obvious. Hull stopped him that day and forced him to look up.

"?" He said bluntly, "what's there to be afraid of? You're so strange to ask such a question."

"..." Hull stared into his eyes for a long time before saying with certainty, "You are afraid."

"I do not have."

"You've always been afraid."

"none of your business?"

"You can be less afraid in the future." Mo Lan's eyes were full of emotions he couldn't understand: "I will protect you in the future."

"……why?"

"Because..." A trace of confusion flashed across the other party's face, as if he didn't understand why he asked: "Because we are teammates, we are partners."

Shi Qi couldn't help but sneered, and took off the fingerless gloves he was wearing all the time: "There was someone who said he would take care of me before, I believed it, and it turned out..."

On each of the two white wrists was a circle of hideous and terrifying scars.

"Captain, no one will be nice to another person for no reason."

He remembered that Hull was silent for a long time at that time, as if acquiescing to his statement.

Shi Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, later on, Hull almost treated him even harder, and took care of him more meticulously than before. Even if he avoided him, he still treated him so well that anyone could see that the relationship between the two was not normal. .

He backed up his words with actions.

I... It seems that it was at that time that my heart began to flutter, right?

Under the night, some people rush towards their goals with feelings that they can no longer hide.

*

On the city wall, the 15th crenel.

This crenel is very close to the sentry booth, it is considered a leeward corner.

The fat man sitting cross-legged on the crenel lightly lifted the cards in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and then picked another card from the pile of cards pressed by the gun in front of him.

"[-] of Hearts, you lost." Hull said before he looked at the cards.

Fatty: "..."

Turning over the cards in his hand, it turned out to be a [-] of hearts.

Fatty was discouraged, he put the cards back under the gun, looked up suspiciously and asked the person sitting opposite with bent legs: "This is your No. 20. If you win eight hands in a row, you really don't have any secrets?"

Hull didn't hide it: "It's easy to win if you memorize the order."

Fatty: "..."

I suspect he's playing tricks on me, but I have no proof.

"Don't play anymore, don't play anymore, if you play any more, I'll lose all the points you have gained in the past few months..." The fat man put away the cards, jumped off the stack and walked towards the sentry booth: "I'll put a water."

Before taking two steps, he seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "Seven is changing shifts with me, and he should be here in a few minutes."

Hull was taken aback, and inexplicably remembered the scene when he saw Shi Qi for the first time.

At that time, Shi Qi should have just entered the Secret Service Academy, and one night he went to the Secret Service for a meeting, which happened to coincide with the night training for recruits.

He saw Shiqi standing in the first row of the third column on the right at a glance.

They didn't know each other at that time, and Shi Qi didn't even notice someone passing by in the distance.

But he remembered seeing clearly the silver cross hanging on the other party's chest by the moonlight that night.

With just one glance, he was sure that this was the person he had been looking for for many years.

It's a pity that he didn't have time to ask his name at that time.

The second meeting was during an evacuation mission.

There was a whole street between them, but Hull saw him anyway. He was protecting a mother and child from a collapsing building.

Forget it, while thinking, he opened a ladle for Ohm in front of him. He is busy, so I will say hello next time.

After that mission, Hull found the administrator and finally knew the name of the other party.

It was seven.

The person he wants to protect is called Shiqi.

Old Mr. Chu said that to protect a person is to take care of him, take him out of danger, and die for him when necessary.

And since when did this protection become more selfish than it should be?

He no longer blindly waits for the chance to free himself.

He began to faintly look forward to it.

Since when have you wanted more?

Hull remembers very clearly that it was the third mission performed after Shiqi entered the first team.

The first half of the journey went smoothly, and the five people successfully put down the detectors at five coordinates, but on the way to assemble, they were stopped by the sudden Ohm tide.

Several people agreed to meet up after passing through the abandoned residential area in the intercom, but he and Shiqi waited at the meeting point for three hours, and the other three teammates still did not show up.

At great risk, they fumbled back, only to find two backpacks and a shoe.

None of the three teammates could run out.

When returning to the district, the family members of the three teammates were all waiting for their children to come back at the gate of the city.

No one was seen, and the three pairs of parents collapsed. One of the fathers was squatting at the door of the equipment store. Seeing the two of them returning their guns, he wanted to fight them desperately with a stick.

The incident happened suddenly, and the tired two didn't notice the person waiting for them in the corner.

"Why are you still fucking standing here?!"

"It must be you two bastards who are greedy for life and afraid of death—!"

"Why do you want to die?!"

I don't know where the stick was removed, and when the middle-aged man waved it, there was a cold light.Hull subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and a string of blood dripped out.

Shi Qi was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, he raised his foot and kicked the opponent back a few steps.

He only used five percent of his strength for that kick, but the middle-aged man insisted on rushing forward, Shi Qi didn't show mercy this time, and directly pushed him to the ground.

Seeing that he couldn't move, the middle-aged man began to yell at him, scolding whatever was unpleasant, and almost sent his condolences to the seven ancestors and eighteen generations of the time.

At first Shiqi ignored him, just pressed him and did not let him move, waiting for the guards to come and take him away and detain him.

however……

"Bah! You two have mother-born and mother-in-law things!"

This is not the first time that Hull has felt the malice of the family members of his teammates towards him as a "survivor". He has heard such abuse in the past four years, and his ears are numb. There was even one time when someone wanted to throw rotten eggs... …

But this time is different.

"You try to curse again?"

Shi Qi squinted his eyes, and the strength of his hands increased by three points, and the middle-aged man's face instantly turned purple: "Huh? You continue to scold?"

You can't breathe from that anger, how can you still swear?

"Did you know your son signed a waiver?"

"Take a step back, the administrator is the one who releases the task, the one who finalizes the mission goal is the administrator, and the one who makes us retreat the same way."

"Why don't you scold the administrator? Don't you dare? Why don't you dare?"

"Just because our captain is easy to bully and scold him?"

Until he was taken away by the ground crew, the middle-aged man couldn't catch his breath and opened his mouth to curse again.

"...Does it hurt?" Shi Qi asked.

"Fortunately."

"Go to the hospital and get a tetanus."

"...No need." He was somewhat resistant to the injection.

"It will be infected." Shi Qiban forced him to go to the hospital with him: "Has this kind of thing happened before?"

"Well, often."

"...It's okay." Shi Qi patted him on the shoulder, and said generously: "In the future, with me, I will scold you back for you, and hit you back for you. Don't be afraid of them, it's not yours." wrong."

He spoke very naturally.

Hull's eyes were suddenly dazzled by his smile, and he stretched out his injured arm in front of the other party in a strange way: "...it hurts."

"pain?"

"Ah."

Shi Qi lowered his head and blew two breaths on his gauze-wrapped arm: "Huhu, the pain will be gone soon."

It was an inconspicuous little gesture.

That was the first time Hull's heart beat like thunder.

Since then fell.

The author has something to say:

The heartbeat is often in an inadvertent moment.

see you tomorrow~

Thanks for the support, bows.
