Refused to play the male supporting role [End Times]

Carefully recalling the series of very coincidental events that happened to him since the crystal nucleus entered his mouth, Ye Jingyan had a vague understanding of the direction of his promotion. It's a good thing, at least it won't stagnate in the first order forever like the previous worry.

Presumably after learning this lesson, Xiaotian will no longer blindly absorb crystal nuclei that are two levels higher than his own...

Since Li Cang urgently needs to replenish energy at this time, and all the crystal nuclei are in Xiaotian's hands, Ye Jingyan poked Xiaotian's blade with Yuanlisi in an attempt to wake it up. Nothing happened.Seeing this, Ye Jingyan felt a little anxious. Although he was in severe pain before, he was faintly conscious. He also knew that Xiaotian once tried his best to help him absorb the excess energy in order to prevent him from exploding, and then fell into a deep sleep because of exhaustion.

Could it be that something went wrong at that time?

Ye Jingyan looked at the motionless Xiaotian with concern, and felt relieved when he found that the opponent had already advanced to the second level: being able to advance at least meant that there was no problem with it, presumably because he was exhausted before...

In fact, when Ye Jingyan woke up, Xiaotian had already woken up. Being extremely cunning, he knew that he had caused a catastrophe this time. In order to avoid punishment, it decided to use bitter tricks to win sympathy, so he poked it at Ye Jingyan with Yuan Lisi. Sometimes he lay motionless and pretended to be dead.

But after all, Xiaotian is lively and active by nature, and after a while, he couldn't pretend anymore, so he started to move the leaves secretly, wanting to know if Ye Jingyan was still paying attention to him.

And Ye Jingyan, who has been observing the situation of his Yuanli Ball, naturally sees his pet's small movements, and the worry in his heart can't help but turn into a joke: Although his situation is indeed very dangerous this time, Xiaotian didn't do it on purpose, and In the process of saving itself, it also experienced a lot of dangers, so I didn't intend to blame it at all.

But Ye Jingyan didn't expect that Xiaotian, a brat, would actually learn to play hard tricks. Out of his understanding of Xiaotian, he deliberately murmured to himself that since Xiaotian was not in good health, he should take a break and not pay his salary by the way, so As soon as he finished speaking, he watched Cai Mitian's posture change from lying prone to standing in an instant with dumbfounded laughter. At the same time, the vines and leaves kept shaking and shaking, as if telling Ye Jingyan that he was full of energy and strong like a cow.

Ye Jingyan was left speechless by his pet's rogue behavior, but facing his supernatural pet, he really couldn't beat or scold him. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly. Several secondary crystal nuclei synthesized by Xiaotian were put into Li Cang's mouth.

Although the accident happened in the early morning, after such a toss, the whole morning has passed.Ye Jingyan checked the time and gave up his plan to go hunting.He called Bai Yang, who had been a bodyguard all morning with fear after staying up all night, and helped him set up a field tent so that he could lie comfortably in it and sleep.

Ye Jingyan was a little surprised by Bai Yang's performance in the morning, but at the same time he was quite moved.He had always thought that the relationship between himself and Bai Yang was just a cooperative relationship - he provided Bai Yang with food and protection, and Bai Yang used his strengths to provide him with a strong technical backing.But he didn't expect that when he and Li Cang were comatose one after another, Bai Yang, whose combat effectiveness was basically zero, would choose to stay here to protect their safety instead of fleeing by himself in the Thunder Leopard [-], which made him have to re-examine the situation. Do I need to change my position on Bai Yang?

After all, with Leibao No. [-], even if you can’t beat the opponent, it’s okay to escape, not to mention the ion laser cannon installed on it. If you operate it well, you may still have the power to fight. Safety is still guaranteed.And judging from Bai Yang's ability, even without himself, he can find other backers at any time, and he will stay and protect himself in this situation, so he should regard himself as a friend in his heart, right?

In this way, after arriving in City B, he doesn't necessarily have to separate from Bai Yang according to the original agreement.Bai Yang didn't have any relatives, and his own house was big enough, so it wouldn't be too much for him to have one more. Moreover, it was really difficult for a person like him with a negative combat effectiveness and a certain level of nervousness to survive alone.

Speaking of which, Bai Yang's baby face and cheerful personality should get along well with his mother...

Looking at Bai Yang who was sleepy but still struggling to climb into the tent to rest, Ye Jingyan gently leaned on Li Cang's warm and soft body, and slowly helped him sort out the dryness caused by excessive use of energy. meridians, and at the same time slightly raised the corners of his lips——

In this life, he has learned how to distinguish between true and false, and at the same time has the strength to protect these things.Although the tragic experience of the previous life is still deeply imprinted in his heart, and his character in this life has become suspicious and selfish because of this, but this does not mean that he will ignore the beautiful scenery around him, and refuse to accept people who may become friends...

People can't always live in the past, remembering the pain is to better meet the future...

Although there was such a small episode, everyone did not delay their trip because of it. When night fell, Li Cang and Bai Yang woke up one after another. In the cabin.

This time, Ye Jingyan didn't let Bai Yang walk along the normal route, but after looking at the positions of several people, his finger landed on a road on the map that was tens of kilometers longer than the normal route. Although Bai Yang was a little dissatisfied with this However, he followed Ye Jingyan’s words very simply—anyway, the distance of tens of kilometers is just less than a day’s journey for Leibao [-], and there is no trouble in changing the route.

Ye Jingyan watched Bai Yang's fingers poking on the screen to revise the route, and a complicated look flashed across his face: If I remember correctly, as long as I don't rest during the day tomorrow, I and others will arrive near City K in the evening a safe zone.

In the previous life, I, Feng Zijun and others found the Yuanjing that caused the tragedy of my life in a crevice near this safe zone.

Whether it is his obsession or selfishness, no matter what, he will not let this Yuanjing fall into anyone's hands first in this life.

Things did not go as Ye Jingyan expected, and the group arrived at a place a few kilometers away from the safe zone of City K at around five o'clock the next afternoon.In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Jingyan conveniently put away the Thunder Leopard 3, replaced it with a Hummer H[-], and continued to drive towards the gate of the station.

Bai Yang sat on his long-lost car, holding the steering wheel, and said excitedly to Ye Jingyan, "Jing Yan, you are amazing, how did you know you would encounter a human resident if you walked this road?"

Ye Jingyan looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar scenery outside the window, and lied without changing his face: "I was free that day, tinkering with your signal adapter, and I just received a signal introducing this station, and found that this is the closest to the forest before. safe zone, so I decided to come over.”

Regarding Ye Jingyan's ambiguous answer, Bai Yang gave an "oh" at first, and then said vigilantly: "No, it is said that our supplies are very sufficient, and if we follow the original route, we will encounter other safe areas sooner or later. , there is no need to take a detour to come here, right?"

"It seems that you don't remember what day is today?" Facing Bai Yang's doubts, Ye Jingyan had already thought of the answer in his heart: "If the end of the world hadn't come, today would just be New Year's Eve." After finishing speaking, he seemed Looking at Bai Yang with a non-smiling smile, he said, "Although we don't have to pay so much attention now, tonight is New Year's Eve after all, you don't want to drive all night in Leibao No. [-], do you?"

Bai Yang was taken aback by Ye Jingyan's answer, then nodded and said, "That's right, at least we all have a good rest tonight, and if the situation permits, maybe we can have a big meal or something." While speaking , he couldn't help recalling the previous New Year's Eve: the room was spacious but empty, the dishes were exquisite but had no taste of home, the lively scene on the street had no place for him, and the noisy firecrackers could only bring out his loneliness...

In fact, I am very afraid of being lonely, right?That's why so many robots are made, pretending to be accompanied by someone...

Speaking of companionship, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Ye Jingyan: I didn't expect that after the end of the world, I would get to know such a cold-faced, warm-hearted and powerful friend...

Thinking of this, he sneaked a few glances at Li Cang who was sleeping in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and sighed secretly: It's just that this friend's taste is too heavy...

"What are you thinking? You have such a strange expression!" Ye Jingyan asked casually while unpacking the two packs of cigarettes he took out from the space.

Bai Yang was pulled back to his sanity by Ye Jingyan's voice, how could he dare to say what he was thinking just now, so facing Ye Jingyan's question, he could only laugh dryly: "It's nothing, I just feel that in this big environment, I can live safely It's not bad to spend a New Year's Eve..."

As Ye Jingyan expected, when the Hummer H3 arrived at the gate of the station, it was stopped by the guards. A guard who was closest to the gate looked sharply at the nearly new car and the clean mountaineering suits of Ye Jingyan and the two of them, and immediately acted. He greeted him quickly.

The guard who looked to be in his 30s immediately had a smile on his face when he learned that Ye Jingyan was a supernatural being. The human Bai Yangshi said with a embarrassed face: "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry, even if this Mr. Bai is your companion, he must observe the epidemic prevention station at the entrance for 48 hours according to the regulations before entering the station. If If you let him go in with you now, I'm afraid I will be blamed by the superiors."

As he said that, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Don't blame me for being unreasonable, I also work hard to run errands for others, just to make a living, and please understand that we little people just want to survive. have no choice."

Before Bai Yang could speak, Ye Jingyan raised his hand to stop the conversation. He took out the crumpled half-pack of cigarettes from his pocket, quickly put them into the guard's hand, and said, "Let's go along the way." I am already very tired, I just want to go in early to rest, I can assure you that my friend is definitely not carrying any virus, if possible, please make it easier for us to go in together."

The guard sideways blocked the sight of other colleagues looking at this side, and weighed the weight of the cigarette slightly with his hand, and then a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, but he continued to say with a embarrassed expression on his face: "This... so many people Look, I'm afraid it's not right..."

"I know you will find a way..." Ye Jingyan smiled slightly when he heard the words, and put another half pack of cigarettes of another brand into the guard's hand.

The guard quickly pinned the cigarette into his trouser waist, and then quickly ran to the desk to register Bai Yang's temporary residence. My current job is used as a guarantee, let this Mr. Bai go in with you!" While speaking, he handed over the temporary residence card to Ye Jingyan, and then said enthusiastically, "Mr. Ye has just come to the station, so he must not know the situation here. ——You go straight along the road at the door, turn right at the fourth intersection, and you will see a small yellow building. It is the best hotel here, specially prepared for you supernatural beings. Stay For one night, it only takes five loaves or ten grams of gold."

Speaking of this, his smile suddenly became a little wretched: "If you want to have some fun, there is a guy named Huang Mao squatting in the south corner of the hotel. He has a lot of good things in his hand, beautiful and exciting... ..."

"I see!" Ye Jingyan interrupted the other party's more and more obscene topic, "Thank you for the news, if I need anything in the future, I will come to you again!" After finishing speaking, he looked angry The flushed Bai Yang and Li Cang, who was also in a bad mood, walked out of the gate of the registration office.

"So you opened those cigarette boxes to bribe the guards here!" As soon as he got into the car, Bai Yang said angrily, "That guy is clearly trying to blackmail you. You are so powerful, why don't you just beat him up? Want to do him a favor?"

"That Qian Da is a narrow-minded guy at first glance. Do you think it's wise to be hated by this kind of person first when you arrive in a strange place?" Facing Bai Yang's anger, Ye Jingyan patiently explained, "There is a self-defense team of supernatural beings in the safe zone to maintain law and order. This Qianda is the local snake here. Although we are stronger than him in terms of force, if he is really determined to tear his face to find trouble, it will be quite annoying. What's more, according to the regulations here, you really need to observe for 48 hours-after all, we don't care about it..."

The reason why Ye Jingyan said that was because he had contact with Qian Da in his previous life.

He still clearly remembered that when he, Feng Zijun and He Yuning arrived at this station in his previous life, the guard who received them happened to be this Qian Da.At the beginning, because I didn’t know these ways, I refused the other party to take away the few food on my body. As a result, I was detained by him for 48 hours, and I was deliberately locked in the coldest observation room. When I came out, I developed a high fever. , almost turned into pneumonia.And Feng Zijun, who is slick and slick, took He Yuning into the station swaggeringly after paying the price of two half-dried steamed buns.

At that time, Feng Zijun explained to himself that after the incident he tried to rescue him in advance by bribing Qian Da, but because Qian Da hated Ye Jingyan for not cooperating, he failed in the end.At the beginning, Ye Jingyan foolishly believed Feng Zijun's words, but when he wandered here again to find Qian Da to settle accounts, the other party told him tremblingly that after learning that Ye Jingyan was left to "observe", Feng Zijun never bribed him , but took He Yuning and left without saying a word.

Of course, since I have dealt with Feng Zijun in this life, I will not let this Qian Da go just like this...

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Bai Yang who was still angry, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, it's just a guard, it's not worth getting angry with him, just teach him a lesson before leaving. Although we can Restrain ourselves, but many times, in order to survive, we have to go against our hearts to adapt to this society." As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower and lower, "Now we are not qualified to make rules, unless one day , you stand on a high ground and have the right to speak, only then will you be able to change the environment around you..."

Faced with Ye Jingyan's persuasion, Bai Yang nodded half-understanding. Being optimistic by nature, he quickly put the previous unhappiness behind him, and started discussing with Ye Jingyan what the best hotel in the resident would look like, and what he wanted to do at night. The dishes to eat...

Qian Da was right, this yellow hotel indeed has the best living conditions in the resident, and Ye Jingyan also knows that the owner of this hotel is the concubine of a certain supernatural person boss in this safe zone.At first, this pretty woman was unwilling to take in Ye Jingyan, who was carrying a dark blue color, but when Ye Jingyan gently put a first-grade Yuanjing in his hand and showed it to the woman, her heavily made-up face Immediately filled with enthusiastic smiles, he arranged the two of them and one wolf in the largest room with twisted waists and hips, and ran back and forth to get food and hot water for them.

After dismissing the overly enthusiastic proprietress, Bai Yang looked at the layout of the house inside and out, then took clean luggage from Ye Jingyan's hand with a sinister face and replaced the yellowed bedding on the bed, and then threw himself happily Rolling on the bed.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the temperature outside dropped significantly, and even a little snow began to fall.Ye Jingyan changed into comfortable clothes, looked at Bai Yang who had fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion, opened the window with slightly aggrieved eyes in Li Cang's eyes, jumped up to the roof opposite, and then followed several ups and downs, quickly Disappeared in the night...

When Ye Jingyan came back again, his clothes were soaked by the snow. He took a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, and then woke up Bai Yang on the bed. Alcoholic hot pot, various meat slices, vegetables, meatballs, and seasonings, ready to have a good meal on New Year's Eve.

In order to cater to the festive atmosphere and celebrate the smooth operation tonight, Ye Jingyan even opened a bottle of red wine amid Bai Yang's cheers and Li Cang's curious eyes.

When the pointer on the watch pointed to eleven o'clock, the three of them sat around and started a steaming New Year's Eve dinner. Ye Jingyan didn't rush to move his chopsticks, but sat at the table and looked at Bai Yang who was eating happily and who was already eating. Li Cang, who is very proficient in using chopsticks and whose hand speed is not inferior to Bai Yang, couldn't help but smile: In this life, many things are indeed different.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingyan quietly put his left hand into his clothes pocket, gently caressing the Yuanjing he had just picked up in the wind and snow, and took a sip of the wine glass with his right hand, and said to himself——

Ye Jingyan, respect for the new students...

# # # # # #

Although he knew that City B would not do anything special because of the Chinese New Year during this extraordinary period, Ye Jingyan still called his mother when it was close to twelve o'clock as usual.At this time, Ye Wanyi had already closed the door and secretly waited beside the phone. The moment the phone vibrated, she pressed the answer button, and at the same time a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Jing Yan? Happy Chinese New Year..."

Although Ye Jingyan talked to his mother almost every two or three days after getting to know Bai Yang, hearing his mother's voice at this time still made him a little excited. After greeting his mother honestly, Ye Jingyan listened with moist eyes. My mother talked to me over the phone about the situation in City B and the trivial things in daily life, and unconsciously showed a satisfied smile...

In the early morning of the next day, a Hummer drove away slowly in the morning mist. This time, it was the guard named Qian Da who sent Ye Jingyan away. Not long after they left, Qian Da was found dead suddenly. In the duty room, if the military doctor of the S city base was present, he would be surprised to find that the cause of Qian Da's death was exactly the same as that of Feng Zijun who died at the S city base...

Of course, all of this is not within the scope of Ye Jingyan's concern. After leaving the station, the journey of the two of them to the north has returned to the right track.

The trip to the K City resident allowed Ye Jingyan to obtain a Yuanjing without any effort, but for him, this trip also dispelled a lot of haze from his previous life, which made his whole personality change after he came out of the resident. They have all become more cheerful.

Ye Jingyan once hesitated whether to give this Yuanjing to Bai Yang to let him try whether he has the potential to become a supernatural being, but in the end he decided to take this Yuanjing home and give it to his mother. It’s not too late to give it to Bai Yang——Bai Yang is still young, and he still has a chance to get Yuanjing in the future, but his mother’s health has been bad. Although absorbing Yuanjing can’t cure the disease, it can at least make his mother’s body strong Some……

The group traveled like this for nearly a month. During this period, Ye Jingyan conducted an experiment on Li Cang's supernatural powers after he transformed into a human form, and the result of the experiment surprised him: when Li Cang transformed into a human form, The awakened ability seems to be related to time, and Ye Jingyan had never even heard of this ability in his previous life.

Since there is no previous life information to refer to, Ye Jingyan can only let Li Cang experiment with the characteristics of the ability again and again.When Li Cang transformed into a human form, he needed a lot of energy to support him. At this time, coupled with the consumption of energy for activating supernatural powers, he almost used up all the energy in his body every time he experimented.

Although this process was arduous, Li Cang gritted his teeth and persevered when he thought of Ye Jingyan's dangerous situation in the previous upgrade, and even asked to cooperate with Ye Jingyan's research after his vitality recovered.So, after more than half of the journey, Ye Jingyan finally figured out the characteristics of Li Cang's ability - that is, when he activates the ability, he can control the speed of time passing within a certain range, and even stop time for a short time. As for the scope and length of control time, it is determined by Li Cang's own power.

This is simply a heaven-defying ability!No matter who it is, after knowing Li Cangyou's supernatural power, he will definitely hold him in his hands by any means!

With this realization, Ye Jingyan began to rejoice that his research was carried out without telling Bai Yang. Although Bai Yang had no reason to betray him, firstly, his character is not suitable for knowing too many secrets, and secondly, people's hearts are unpredictable. For something as important as this, the fewer people who know about it, the safer it will be.

After researching Li Cang's abilities, Ye Jingyan returned to his life of traveling at night and hunting for crystal nuclei during the day. As he accumulated more and more crystal nuclei, the group soon arrived near City B.

Ye Jingyan calculated the driving distance and found that he and others would arrive in City B by the next morning at the latest, so he happily told the news to his mother who had been worried at home.

Since Xiaotian can produce a large number of second-level crystal nuclei, Li Cang has successfully upgraded to the third-level at this time. If he does not use supernatural powers, he can maintain his human form for about twelve hours a day.After considering that the mutant creature transformed into a human was too shocking, Ye Jingyan finally decided to let him go home with him in wolf form.

Since city B was originally the political and political center of China, it is safer than other safe areas, and the treatment of residents is many times better.So every day, many people travel thousands of miles to settle here.Faced with this situation, City B has long issued relevant regulations: that is, all supernatural beings can obtain sponsorship rights in City B after registration, and if supernatural beings bring their family members, the number of people is limited. , each supernatural person can have up to three quotas.

As soon as this regulation came out, many superhumans with their families reluctantly gave up their plans to enter City B, and instead chose to live in a safe place near City B.But at the same time, there were also many people who were unwilling to give up. They gathered outside the electrified gate all day long, hoping to buy places from the supernatural beings who came to City B alone, so that they could bring themselves to settle in City B.

Facing the black and chaotic crowd at the gate, Ye Jingyan rubbed his forehead with a headache, and without any guilt, he used Li Cang's fierce appearance to separate the crowd and easily reached the gate of the station.At this time, Li Cang belonged to Ye Jingyan's mutated pet in terms of status, so he would not occupy the quota at all. Therefore, the quota owned by Ye Jingyan was naturally vacant.

This situation naturally made the eyes of the people who had been waiting outside for many days red-eyed, but none of them dared to step forward due to the deterrent force of Li Cang.Seeing that Ye Jingyan was about to enter the residence after finishing the formalities, a supernatural person couldn't bear it any longer. He gritted his teeth and rushed over, and said to Ye Jingyan, "Brother, please excuse me. There are four people in my family, but there are only three places in the residence." , I have been waiting outside for four days for this reason, you have two quotas that are useless anyway, see if you can sell me one? As for the price! As long as you ask, I will try my best to do it!"

Ye Jingyan heard the words before he had time to answer, but he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar exclamation: "Father! Come here quickly! I read correctly! This person is really Cousin Jingyan!"
