under the mask

As soon as Li Wei uttered a word, he began to cough non-stop.He coughed and wondered, what happened to the smell of blood in his mouth?internal injury?

"Your throat is too dry, and you have inhaled too much dust." The red-haired man turned around blankly, and took some boiled and cooled water from the campfire: "Moisturize your throat."

Thanks.Li Wei gestured with his mouth, and then wanted to reach out to pick it up, but he froze as expected, and he was in a cold sweat.

"Your waist is almost broken, you can't move at all!" Abel couldn't stand this guy, he reached out to hold the back of his head, and then fed water to his mouth: "Calm down, No. 1, I'll save you It's not easy coming back."

Li Wei couldn't help but blushed, and carefully put down his hands, even so, there was still severe pain in his waist.In fact, to be precise, his whole body was in pain, but the pain in his waist was too obvious, which prevented him from noticing other wounds.Fortunately, he found that the bloody liquid on his body was gone, his pants hadn't changed, but he was wearing loose clothes on his upper body, and the wounds on his waist and arms had been properly treated.

The night in the desert was very cold. Even though the bonfire was nearby, the excessive blood loss caused Li Wei's body temperature to drop rapidly.Although the red-haired lieutenant in front of him had an impatient face, he was holding his hand very firmly without moving an inch, and the temperature of the water he fed into his mouth was just right, which not only melted away the bloody smell in his mouth, but also let Li Vi's throat cleared.

"Thank you..." he said hoarsely to Abel.

"...Speak less." Abel frowned, but his eyes were bright, and he didn't know whether he was angry or happy.After feeding him half a lunch box of water, Abel controlled his strength and let him lie back, covering his uninjured thigh with a blanket.

Li Wei just woke up from a coma, and actually has a lot of things he wants to ask the person in front of him.But he was so tired that he could only look sideways at the lieutenant sitting by the campfire with his back to him, and poured the rest of the water he drank into it with a few tilts of his head.There was still a pot hanging on the bonfire, and there was the sound of bubbles exploding inside, and the crackling sound of burning dry branches did not remind him of the pain of burning flames, but only a burst of drowsiness.

"Sleep if you want to sleep," Abel said in a low voice, as if he had eyes behind his back, without looking back, "I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do."

Li Wei seemed to hear himself answer vaguely, and then fell asleep unconsciously.

Abel waited until the breathing of the people behind him became long before turning around. Of course, this process was very short, because Li Wei's spirit had reached its limit, and he would instinctively need enough sleep to adjust.Sitting cross-legged in front of the sleeping man, he suddenly felt very familiar with this scene.People usually refer to this wonderful feeling as instant vision, but for Abel, it just means that the same thing is likely to be done by his own brothers.

Sometimes he would feel that he and Jacob are actually one person and should not be separated into two independent individuals... Even at a certain period, he even doubted whether he was another personality of Jacob or vice versa, all the others Everyone is just acting with them.But that period is long gone, and they are still separate, complete individuals, just a little too much connected to each other.

There's nothing wrong with that...

Bar? ==

Li Wei slept deeply, but not comfortably. His clean eyebrows were furrowed from time to time, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.Abel's gaze swept over his straighter nose bridge under the light and shadow, soft cheekbones, and pale lips that were a little peeled.

lips.

Abel didn't know why he couldn't move his eyes a little bit.He subconsciously stretched out his fingers and rubbed those lips lightly. It was slightly cool and soft... Some moist hot air was regularly exhaled from between the lips. He slowly retracted his hand and rubbed his fingertips as if there that touch.

It was as if something had been wiped along his heart, and then he realized that his heart was also soft flesh...not a stone.

But that was a matter of course, he was not a stone man, and neither was Jacob.

Abel stared at Li Wei with a complicated expression.Temptation sometimes seems so inexplicable, and he can't even stop thinking about it... He still remembers that at the entrance ceremony, he leaned up to kiss (lick) this guy, although it was tasteless...but their faces were extremely close, their breaths touched, their lips touched The strange touch on the bed...actually left a deep impression on him.

Compared with him, Jacob's experience seems to be very rich.

"Hmph." Abel lowered his eyes and turned the saber in his hand.What's the use of being tempted, anyway, he and Jacob will not find a partner, and the two of them have lived together for the rest of their lives... Mom said that if you have someone you like, it means you will be hurt by the other party, so it's better to be hard-hearted to yourself, rather than lacking in excess .He has always known that in this world, except for his mother and Jacob, no one can truly accept and love him.

So if it really doesn't work...then I have to kill Li Wei.

Abel threw away the knife in annoyance, wanting to roll on the ground, but he forcibly held back.Is there any way...to kill Li Wei without Xiaoya finding out?It's like throwing Li Wei under some cliff, so that he doesn't know whether the other party is alive or dead, so he probably won't feel guilty?No, what if Li Wei didn't die?

Li Wei, who was sleeping on the side, trembled and uttered a raving in discomfort.

Abel was so frightened that he sat upright, so guilty that he didn't even dare to move a hair. It took him a long time to react, and he was so angry that he wanted to kick over the iron lunch box—naturally, he obediently put his feet back in the end.Now he is the most injured. Although he is still secretly planning a murder plan in his heart, he doesn't want to wake up Li Wei.Distressed or something, absolutely none of his business!

This is probably the first time Levi greets the dawn in the game.

He opened his eyes in a daze, the air was very cold, his fingers rested on the outside of the moisture-proof pad, and touched the wet and cool sand. Above his head was the dark purple sky, and the moon—let's call it the moon—hangs extremely high above.Then, quickly, the dark purple sky was mixed with golden-red flowing clouds, which became brighter and brighter layer by layer, and Li Wei could even feel that the desert touched by his fingers was waking up, and the moisture was slowly transpiring— —Then the sun rose, and instantly reflected the white desert into dazzling gold, which made people unable to look directly at it.

Under such a sky, he is too small.

In the next second, a young and handsome face appeared in the sky.

"Are you still sane?"

"..."

"I'm just..." Li Wei cleared his throat lightly: "I'm just watching the sunrise."

Abel squatted beside him and said nothing.Li Wei turned his head to look at him, feeling that although the time between waking up from a coma and falling asleep again was not long yesterday, the red-haired lieutenant seemed to have changed after one night.Maybe a little tiredness on the face, or some mustache on the chin?

Or was there something hot and cold in those red eyes?

"Don't move yet, I'll check the wound." Abel ordered in a hoarse voice, pretending not to see his gaze.He took out the medicine box from his backpack, then opened Levi's shirt, and cut open layers of tightly wrapped bandages.Most of the wound that was still ugly yesterday has recovered, thanks to the healing agent in the medicine box for players.In fact, as long as you are not dead, even if you are missing an arm or a leg, you will be fine once you go offline, but you will have to deduct a lot of points to repair it.

The problem is that Li Wei is still taking on the task, and the things have not yet been obtained, so these injuries can only be endured and waited for it to heal.Fortunately, with the assistance of drugs, this difficult process will not last too long.

"My arm..." Li Wei raised his head and tried to move his arm, feeling unexpectedly relaxed.Apart from the tearing pain of the wound itself, there is no other feeling, and it is a good thing that he even feels pain.Has the poison been neutralized?He looked at the lieutenant who gave him medicine, a little puzzled.

His arm...seemed to be fine last night?What is the drug with such a fast neutralizing effect?

Abel should be thankful that no matter how many times Li Wei has been number one in middle school, he is still a rookie in college.Of course, I can only learn the superficiality after taking a one-month course, and even the superficiality is not comprehensive.What's more, Li Wei didn't check the information about the mutant desert scorpion at all...

In short, Abel was in a cold sweat for a long time, and he didn't wait for Li Wei to ask him.He looked up strangely, just in time to see Li Wei squinting at the sand dunes in the distance.

The morning light shone on them, and Li Wei's soft black hair turned into a touch of gold in the light. This lovely color instantly made Abel dizzy, and his slender eyelashes almost melted into the sunlight. The lines are soft, and the slightly squinted expression is lazy and comfortable, as if a small feather tickled Abel's heart.

He stared blankly at the other party, his chest was throbbing, and his face was red.

"It's getting hot all of a sudden..." Li Wei let out a breath, and turned his head lazily, only to find that the red-haired lieutenant was staring at him in a daze, and even stretched out his hand in front of him.

Li Wei raised his uninjured hand to hold it in confusion, and then shook it: "Why? Is this a new way of saying good morning?"

Express your sister!Abel blushed even more, and wanted to pull his hand out, feeling a little guilty.In fact, he wanted to rub this guy's hair just now. It looked soft, and it was still that golden color... Well, it's still soft now, so small... He looked down at Li Wei's hand, and started daze.Li Wei's hands are still as thin and fair as a teenager's, and even the bones seem to be a little soft, and he has been playing this game for three years, which is equivalent to almost six years in the game. A half-headed brat.

Looking at his hands wrapping Li Wei's like this, why is it so pleasing to the eye?

Sure enough, a man's arrogance is all supported by his head?

Li Wei felt a series of question marks on his head, what's going on?How do you feel like the world has changed when you wake up?He looked at the red-haired man in front of him with a pensive expression on their hands, and he was embarrassed to disturb him... The question is, what happened to the two big men holding hands early in the morning?

"Cough that..." He couldn't help but asked carefully, "I wanted to say yesterday, why did you come here suddenly?"

Abel looked up and glared at him unhappily, and let go of Li Wei's hand somewhat "reluctantly".He didn't want to answer at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was too awkward, so he reluctantly explained to him: "The doctor found out that you accepted the mission, so he told me...I came here with the aircraft." In fact, the doctor told Jacob Yes, but the result of the final compromise was that he boarded Jacob's ship to save people.

Li Wei looked around subconsciously, only to find a corner of the aircraft's yellow camouflage-painted shell exposed behind a sand dune a hundred meters away.That's how it is... If it wasn't for the aircraft, I'm afraid it would be too late.

Abel didn't tell him what he saw when he came.The dense scorpions had already climbed up Li Wei's legs. If his pants and boots were not so strong, his legs would have been useless long ago.After clearing the battlefield, the place could no longer stay there, it was full of scorpion corpses, so he had to lead people over the dunes overnight to barely settle down.

"If you take a rest, you should be able to move around in two hours." He paused and said to Li Wei, "You were in a coma yesterday, and you couldn't open your backpack...so..."

Li Wei looked at him: "So?"

Abel clutched his stomach expressionlessly: "So hurry up and give me something to eat...I'm starving to death."

Li Wei raised his eyebrows, and his eyes slowly moved to the side of the extinguished campfire, where an iron pot was placed randomly, and it was empty.He still remembered that he seemed to smell the aroma of food before falling asleep last night...why wasn't it for him to eat?

Abel noticed his gaze, and couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment: "I'm hungry...so I ate it! So and so told you to sleep all the time!" He came out in a hurry and only remembered to bring the medicine kit. The lizard was after he settled the person. I just caught it next to him... What if his protector starves to death?Even if he could bear it—Xiaoya couldn't bear it either!

"You won't understand!" He looked at Li Wei angrily and aggrieved, and concluded.

Li Wei: "..." What should he know? ?It's so fucking annoying!He grabbed the backpack and poured out the food inside, then turned over on his own and continued to rest.

Abel immediately shut his mouth, flicking all kinds of surprises and disgust in his hands.Forget it, you can’t be too picky during this special period... By the way, the lizard tasted good last night... It’s a pity to throw away the skin... If I had known that he would have eaten it himself, he would have roasted the lizard to eat...

By nine o'clock in the morning, Li Wei could already stand up by himself.He touched the side of his waist, feeling really scared... He didn't feel it at the time, but now that he thought about being pinched in midair by a scorpion more than four meters high, he was lucky to survive.

He glanced at the man who was still packing up his things behind him, and curled his lips inwardly.Of course, thanks to the timely rescue of the guy behind.Dad did a good job.

The two walked to the entrance of the underground workshop that was half opened by Li Wei, and this time they went in smoothly and safely.Going down the narrow metal stairs, Li Wei carefully supported the wall with one hand and protected the wound on his waist and abdomen with the other. Abel followed him step by step. Although he didn't say a word, Li Wei felt a strange sense of security.This is really a novel experience for a man like him.

Especially since this guy was actually a brat who was smaller and shorter than him.

As soon as Li Wei's feet touched the metal floor, a long string of lights lit up above his head, and a circular passage extending inward appeared in front of the two of them.He seriously suspected that this underground building had another exit. There were so many people, large and small, in the workshop. If something happened, it was impossible to rely on the narrow valve they came down to escape... Then why didn't the entrusted task indicate other entrances and exits?

"You also suspect that there is something wrong with the power of attorney?" The red-haired lieutenant's deep and magnetic voice came from behind.
