Thrive in Catastrophe

Xiao Yan knew the consequences of his choice.

He is not as forgetful as he imagined, he will always remember Lily's eyes at that moment, and then he will never be able to sleep peacefully.

He remembered his father once saying that we can fear death because death will come whether we fear it or not.But we can't be ashamed, it will cover a lifetime, and it is more difficult to conquer than death.

For a weak woman?Xiao Yan knew how stupid his decision was.

But she's not just 'a weak woman', she's a woman I've had a crush on for a long time.

Xiao Yan ran towards Lily.He entered the Central Academy of Sciences at the age of 17. Academics and research have never been the world he yearns for.As for Lily, maybe she is shallow and weak in reality, but she is the best expectation in my mediocre life.

She curled up against the wall in horror, hugging her knees and crying.Zombies are approaching not far away.

Xiao Yan stepped forward and pulled her up, and said to her with an almost fierce expression: "Get the fuck up!"

Lily stared at Xiao Yan dumbfounded, completely disbelieving that he would come back!

Waiting for death to come will only make you more frightened, Xiao Yan would rather run with all his strength, even if he collapses from exhaustion.

Countless zombies rushed from behind, they grabbed Lily's arm and pressed Xiao Yan's shoulder.Closing his eyes, Xiao Yan fell to the ground, Lily clasped his wrist tightly but did not cry in panic as before.

They waited with bated breath for the most painful moment.

The pain of being bitten did not come, Xiao Yan only felt a gust of cold wind sweeping past his ears, and he raised his head to meet the sharp knife in Heine's hand.

"Go, if I can't keep up this time, I won't stop again."

There was a certain kind of anger suppressed in Heine Burton's eyes, as if he wanted to cut Xiao Yan into pieces at any time.He is a god who holds the power of life and death, calm and fearless.Xiao Yan was surprised at that moment, Heine's turning around was tantamount to a compromise.But the hatred in his eyes was unexpectedly clear, and even vented out without concealment.

Lily raised her head, and the moment she met Heine's eyes, she froze and couldn't breathe.

But Xiao Yan saw some kind of unshakable determination in Heine's eyes.This man never gave up until the last moment, Xiao Yan was annoyed for the first time, he gave up too early!

Giving up easily is not judging the situation, but being weak!

It ran all the way again, the front was the blasted passage, and the zombies behind it had already caught up.Heine clenched her double blades and stood in front of Xiao Yan, "Go first!"

He wants to break up.

Xiao Yan looked at the other person's back without any wavering or fear.No matter what happens, this man will live, and I will never question his strength again!

Seeing that a zombie was about to attack Xiao Yan's shoulder, he turned his back and dragged Lily to run forward without any hesitation. Heine slashed past with his right hand, and several zombies fell to the ground with a crash.

As they ran, the passage under their feet was slowly descending, Xiao Yan frowned.He knew the ground structure of all the bases. Most of the bases had a T-shaped channel connection. The downward slope of the channel was probably because the T-shaped node was destroyed by the ground spiral missile, causing the building to lose its support.

There was another bang, and the slope of the ground under his feet became more serious.

"Lily!" Xiao Yan suddenly stood in front of Lily, he suspected...

At that moment, the entire passage seemed to be broken, and Xiao Yan and Lily fell to the ground, sliding down along the inclined angle.All this happened too fast, they were unprepared, until the moment when Xiao Yan was about to slide completely down, Xiao Yan grabbed the raised part of the cracked metal floor, the feeling of his fingers and muscles being cut was heart-piercing!But Lily fell, and at the last moment of falling, she grabbed Xiao Yan's leg!

Below them is the second floor of the base. Countless zombies who fell on the second floor waved their arms and jumped to try to catch them.

Without the energy to panic, Xiao Yan's face turned red, his fingers turned white, and blood dripped down his arms, staining his shoulders red.

"Lily—you have to catch it! Do you understand if you have to catch it! If you let go, I will let go!"

Lily raised her head, looked at Xiao Yan's completely trembling shoulders, swallowed her saliva, and said very seriously with a completely different panic from before: "I'm going to let go, Xiao Yan, get ready! You have to climb up!"

"No! If you let go, I will let go! I haven't reached the point where I can't go on!"

Lily smiled, "I think death is actually very fast, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

At that moment, Xiao Yan felt the weight of his legs suddenly lose, and Lily let go of her hand and fell down.

"Lily—" Xiao Yan's heart was about to explode.

The zombies opened their eyes wide, showing bloodthirsty and cruel expressions, while Lily looked at Xiao Yan, as if she could accept everything bravely.

A rope slammed down, wrapped around Lily's waist, and dragged her away just as the zombies were about to grab her.

Xiao Yan raised his head, and under the backlight, he saw a figure standing on a high place, coming bathed in blood.

Lily fell hard to the ground, and the rope around her waist was pulled away in an instant.

At the moment when Xiao Yan lost his strength, a hand clenched his wrist. Xiao Yan saw the figure of Heine Burton half kneeling in front of him. The murderous intent spread on his cold face. Pull him up.

When Xiao Yan crashed into the opponent's arms, he had an illusion of fate.

Without saying a word, Heine sheathed the sharp blade, carried Xiao Yan and Lily on her shoulders, and took three or four steps back.

When Lily understood what Heine was going to do, she screamed loudly.

But Xiao Yan's heart was unexpectedly calm.

Heine's running was a speed that Xiao Yan had never experienced before. The moment he soared into the sky, Xiao Yan remembered the time he touched the blue ocean and the completely free wind blowing past his ears.

In front of his eyes were clearly the crazily agitated zombies, but it seemed to be a completely irrelevant scene.

Xiao Yan knew that this man would never let him fall, just like every time he rose from the sky before.

Heine landed steadily on the other side of the broken passage, and the shock when they landed made them hold their breath.Heine threw Xiao Yan and Lily down.Lily stood up staggeringly. She couldn't believe that Heine Burton carried two people across a distance of four or five meters!

"Before you bleed to death, we must enter the escape route."

Heine lowered her head and glanced at Xiao Yan's bleeding hands, then walked indifferently.

At this moment, Xiao Yan only felt the pain as hell, but he shook his head at Lily, and the two continued to follow behind Heine.

Finally, they came to the escape passage.The first door opened, and they rushed in. When it was closed, several zombies followed in, but they were immediately dealt with by Heine.

He flicked the sharp blade in his hand and put it back into the sheath.

All the hustle and bustle was isolated outside that door, and Lily was still panting in shock.

Xiao Yan leaned against the door and looked at Heine's straight back, as if he was alone and decisive when he saw him for the first time.

The inner door opens, and Liv and Mark rush out.

"Boss!"

"Yeah." Heine responded, then suddenly grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist and threw him towards Liv, "Treat his wound."

Mark looked at Xiao Yan with an incredulous expression, "Boss...you are just for this stupid rookie..."

Liv bumped into Mark, "Enough Mark!"

"Treat the wound? How to deal with it? Do you want to kiss him or..."

Before Mark finished speaking, Liv kicked the inside of his knee, and the big guy almost fell to his knees.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and stepped into the basement of No. 14 base.

He is still alive.

He was still breathing, his eyes could still see the man's back clearly, and his brain was still thinking.

Xiao Yan's body shook a little. In front of him were countless officers who were busy responding to the attack.

Shen Bing's forehead was still oozing with blood, but he was already standing in front of the holographic screen and commanding everything in an orderly manner.

He Yin was planning and deploying a plan of action with his subordinates. His side face was filled with Xiao Su's aura, and even his eyes hurt when he touched it.

Liv sat in front of Xiao Yan, disinfected him, and wrapped a special bandage around his palm.This kind of bandage is completely transparent, and it will adhere to the skin as soon as it comes into contact with the wound, which can isolate various harmful bacteria without hindering oxygen permeability.

"Does it still hurt?" Liv asked with a chuckle.

"The most painful time is over." Xiao Yan pulled the corners of his lips.

"I really didn't expect the boss to rescue you. When danger comes, his duty should be to ensure the safety of the chief commander of this base."

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback.

"Don't make that look. It doesn't mean the colonel has compromised his principles or forgotten his duty for you. If it was me or Mark who was trapped, the chief would do the same thing."

So I don't have to be self-satisfied and complacent?

"So this means that for the boss, you are not someone who can be discarded at will."

Xiao Yan's heart was hit hard, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

Liv stopped talking, and silently took care of Xiao Yan's wound.

Xiao Yan learned from the conversations of the people around him that from now on, Base 14 will abandon the above-ground part and go underground.Shire will send aircraft to resupply base 14 and construct an underground biological circulation system.Heine's troops will also patrol around the base.

After the wound was treated, Liv stood up and tapped his cheek.

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to touch it, only to realize that it was the blood of zombies. The sticky feeling between his fingers was unpleasant.

"There is a disinfection room over there, you can go and wash it. Their things have been in contact with the skin for a long time, and they are corrosive."

"Thank you."

It's fine if Liv doesn't say anything, but Xiao Yan's face itches badly when he mentions it.

Xiao Yan entered the disinfection room, the whole space was shrouded in milky white mist, and his vision was blurred.The entire disinfection process is very simple, you only need to walk through the disinfection room, not only can remove all harmful substances, but also clean clothes by the way.

The itching feeling on Xiao Yan's face gradually subsided. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the group of zombies frantically rushing towards him, and every time Heine Burton turned his head.

His fingers were still trembling, and he clenched his fist and smashed his heart.

One step further, he bumped into someone.

"Oh brother, I'm sorry! I didn't expect there to be someone else here!"

Xiao Yan held his forehead, and the person in front slowly turned around.

Chisel-like facial features and profound lines, who else but Heine Burton?

Xiao Yan was stunned, "...Colonel Burton..."

Heine's face was so soft that it was unreal in the mist, only those still cold eyes reminded Xiao Yan that there was nothing wrong with this person being Heine Burton.That's right, the cleanliness Hai Yin got a lot of zombie mucus on her body in order to save Xiao Yan, so of course he would come to the disinfection room to clean it up at the first moment.

"I'm sorry... Colonel!" Although the other party was still aggressive, Xiao Yan couldn't help but say the words that were choked in his heart.

"Why are you sorry for me?" There was no doubt in the tone of Pingpu's direct subordinate, as if Xiao Yan's apology meant nothing to Heine Burton.

Xiao Yan opened his mouth and found that he couldn't say a word.

Sorry, I chose Lily.

Xiao Yan felt that this answer was stupid, because it had nothing to do with Hein whether he chose Lily or someone else.

Or do you say I'm sorry, I wasted your chance to save me?

Or that I'm sorry, I keep you coming back again and again, even questioning your ability to protect me from harm at all?

Just when Xiao Yan was hesitating, Hai Yin turned around, and his figure gradually sank into white mist.

Xiao Yan pulled up the corners of his lips, lowered his head and smiled helplessly, but there was a desire to fly in his heart.

He wanted to follow this man to a higher and farther place, he wanted to become stronger, to become even if Heine Burton never looked back, he knew that he was following him!

The figure in the white mist stopped.

"If I didn't grab you, would you let go?"

The emotionless voice seemed to cut through the mist.

Heine stood not far from Xiao Yan, her facial features in the white mist looked hazy and handsome.

"No one wants to die..." Xiao Yan didn't expect Heine to ask himself this question.

Heine took two steps forward, raised his arm, clasped Xiao Yan's neck with his slender and elegant fingers, and could crush his neck bone with just a little force.

"Then remember, besides me, you can't die at the hands of others, and you can't die anywhere else."

With a simple and unwavering sentence, Xiao Yan felt that something had been imprinted in the depths of his mind, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not heal it.

"Also, next time you ask me to let go, I will definitely break your neck."

Vaguely, Xiao Yan felt that there were many indescribable things in Heine's indifference.He clearly saw his own shadow in the opponent's eyes.

"So you don't have to be complacent." This sentence was so light that Xiao Yan couldn't understand the meaning of it.

"Maybe you will die." Xiao Yan wanted to step forward to see the other person's expression clearly, but the pressure brought by Heine Burton was really heavy, and his legs were nailed in place like lead.

Since you are indifferent to everything, why did you save me?

"We're all going to die, sooner or later."

There seems to be nothing in this world that can scare him forever, and death will surrender at his feet.

And Xiao Yan sadly found that he couldn't stop his gaze, even knowing that the angry Hai Yin could kill him at any time.

He let go of the fingers strangling Xiao Yan's neck, and slowly lifted Xiao Yan's cheek, Xiao Yan could feel the almost pampering touch between the other's fingers.

The other party's body leaned forward slightly, and the golden brown hair seemed to caress Xiao Yan's sight when it fell down.He knew that he should turn around to avoid it, but when the cold and desireless face approached him, it seemed that something was burning crazily.

The tip of Heine's tongue loomed between his lips, until it touched Xiao Yan's upper lip, and he slowly lifted it up. Xiao Yan gasped, and was about to back away, but the other party's fingers penetrated into his hair, forcefully The back of his head was locked and he couldn't move.

When Heine's lips were completely covered, occupying everything in his mouth extremely forcefully, pressing Xiao Yan's lips and tongue as if no matter how hard he sucked, depriving him of air, Xiao Yan's skull was in this state It hurts under the squeeze, and Hai Yin kept biting Xiao Yan's lips with kisses, everything was rushing towards an uncontrollable direction.This is like the prelude to a cruel plunder, Xiao Yan knows the result but has no way to resist.

he will die!He must die!

Liv's past jokes rang in Xiao Yan's ears, and when he stretched out his hands to press Heine's shoulders in horror, he suddenly realized that all he touched was air.

"what……"

Taking two steps back as if he was exhausted, Xiao Yan realized that Heine had reached the end of the disinfection room at some point.

Blinking hard, Xiao Yan pressed his forehead.

Oops... that hallucination again...

Heine had already left the disinfection room, and the whole space was deadly quiet.

Xiao Yan walked slowly towards the exit, his hand touched the sliding door of the disinfection room, and the image of Heine struggling to slash was constantly rushing in his mind. This kind of recklessness was not to perform a certain task, but to save him .

Everything was like a delusion. In this delusion, Xiao Yan realized that he seemed extremely important to that man who was so strong and so indifferent.

"Ha..." Xiao Yan opened the sliding door and walked out. He raised his head, and every step was extremely firm.

Because he knew that he would never be able to escape the desire to chase that man deep in his heart, so he only had to make himself stronger!

The underground space of the base is very tight, and private space is a luxury.

Xiao Yan and the other students are completely useless here. Everyone has their own position and is busy busy, but they can only sit in a certain corner, quiet and silent.

Lily was sitting beside him, with her head lowered, perhaps because she was too dull, she finally whispered: "Fortunately... your face is fine."

"It's just splashing a little zombie pus."

Lily was still restless, Xiao Yan caught a glimpse of her fiddling with his fingers, and then put his hand on the back of her hand and said, "Everything will be fine."

"Thank you……"

You are welcome, who told me to have a crush on you for a long time.

Thinking this way in his heart, Xiao Yan still didn't say it, because Lily already had a boyfriend, Major Denzel from the Military Disciplinary Department - a young and handsome officer with a bright future.In many cases, paying is not just for a certain result.

"I think Colonel Burton is a bit scary." Lily looked into the distance, and Heine sat silently in a corner, adjusting the ordnance she carried with her.

His expression was focused and cold, and the lowered eyelids oppressed Lily's heart.

"But he saved us." Xiao Yan twitched the corners of his lips and comforted him.

Lily shook her head, "It's not 'us' he wants to save, only you."
