Journey to the Rose

The first one who couldn't stand was Li Shen.

Li Shen stretched his hand backwards, stabilized Lu Zhenghe who was about to go forward, inserted the live ammunition magazine, and pulled the slider of the slide with his fingers, stopping him: "Let me do this kind of thing."

Under the crowd watching, the middle of this road in the bamboo forest seemed to be surrounded by a small circle.

Some people didn't care about watching the excitement, and ran towards the exit in panic; some people didn't dare to act without authorization, so they had to bite the bullet and stand where they were, trying to persuade them to fight, hoping that Wen Kai would return to the team that continued to guide the way as soon as possible.

The first rays of morning light fell on the ground.The bamboo forest swayed, forming green waves.The smell of blood floating in the air was incompatible with the scenery.

The cool wind penetrated into the back, and Ruan Xi shivered from the cold.He shivered for a while, shrank his neck in his collar, and gradually became more awake.

"spit!"

The man suddenly spit out the cigarette stained with plaster, and raised his fist, "Who knows if you are a spy from Maze City?! You took us away and didn't go out! One night passed, and we only walked halfway! "

"You can think whatever you like, and lead the way if you don't believe it." Golden bangs fell down, covering half of Wen Kai's face.

He doesn't want to argue too much, thinking that saving time is the most important thing, not to mention there is Ruan Xi with him.

Ruan Xi was firmly guarded by Wen Kai, her eyes were half-eyed, the pain was gone, and she had some strength to speak.

He covered his face, leaned into Wen Kai's ear, and said in a low voice, "...like the accent of Ablaze City."

Wen Kai was startled.

It’s fine if it’s a stranger on the road staring at Ruan Xi, there are always some people who are used to thinking with their lower body are more courageous and don’t think about the consequences of doing things——

But if this person is from Ablaze City, then the starting point is different. It is very likely that he knows Ruan Xi, or doubts whether he has met Ruan Xi.

Ruan Xi had just finished whispering, but Wen Kai hadn't had time to react.

Unexpectedly, the big man grinned grinningly, as if deliberately trying to attract attention, pointed to the blocked shadow behind Wen Kai, and said loudly: "What are you blocking? Block an omega! Seeing how precious he is, don't you think so?" yes……"

Before he finished speaking, another gunshot fired to push the atmosphere to a climax.

"Back off."

It's Li Shen.

He ran from not far away, first raised his arm, and fired a gun at the sky. The people around him seemed to be speechless in fright, and almost all retreated to avoid him.

As soon as Li Shen arrived on the front foot, Lu Zhenghe came "disobediently" on the back foot.He has limited mobility and runs a little slower.

As soon as he came, Li Shen automatically retreated to the side, vigilantly observing the situation in the dark places around him.This may also be Li Shen's occupational disease, he needs to protect Lu Zhenghe's safety.

Lu Zhenghe didn't look at the others, but stood in front of Wen Kai and Ruan Xi, straightened his arms, and pressed the muzzle of the gun that was still emitting warmth against the big man's forehead.

He was holding the handle of the gun with one hand. The carbine gun was completely black, and it looked like a deadly howitzer from the dark night.

Every step he takes.

The big man took a step back.

Until the opponent staggered back, Lu Zhenghe's eyeballs turned red, as if he had been smeared with coagulated blood.

He said coldly: "Don't look for trouble in the maze, you will wind yourself up to death."

The big man seemed to be intimidated by him, his palms and the backs of his hands were desperately rubbing against the front of his clothes, his face flushed with extreme fear, and he pretended to be calm and said: "You... you, who are you?"

"unimportant."

Lu Zhenghe turned his eyes away and glanced at the crowd beside him, as if he wanted to catch another person who was about to move and come out for surgery.

He turned his eyes back to the big man, who subconsciously turned his head away, trying to avoid the muzzle of the gun, but Lu Zhenghe raised his hand and pushed it up again, still touching the other's forehead.

Lu Zhenghe said: "From now on, find your own way, and don't look this way anymore. The bullets of me and my men can be aimed at the people of Maze City who want to hurt us, and they can also be aimed at you."

Li Shen's eyes also moved over, locked on the man.

Although the atmosphere was very dangerous, Ruan Xi obediently hid behind Wen Kai, still thinking: How can Lu Zhenghe pretend to be great!

His training uniform was a very thick layer, and the three inner and outer bandages were of course not visible.

But he should have been oozing blood from too much activity, and the pain of just raising the gun was enough for him.

A person who is invulnerable on the surface, when he is weak, will still hide in his omega's arms and say that the wound hurts...

Oh, as a majestic army leader, he can act like a baby and call his husband...

I will pick up beautiful and rare stones on the side of the road, and I will paint your eyebrows when I go back, and I will want to hear you tell stories about the other side of the land.

"cough."

Choked by the wind, his throat became dry, and Wen Kai coughed uncontrollably.

With his elbow pointing back, he poked Ruan Xi, who was gradually getting more energetic, and whispered in a low voice: "The two of them are quite intimidating when they are fierce."

Ruan Xi pursed the corners of her lips and made no statement.

But seeing Lu Zhenghe "bullying others" for himself, why does he feel so happy!

The "turmoil" here had just subsided, there was movement again in the bamboo forest, the crowd screamed, Li Shen and Gu Zirong quickly filled the vacant seat for Lu Zhenghe, one on the left and one on the left.

Li Shen didn't want to shoot at first, but there were already enemies coming into the crowd with knives.

As a tower soldier, Gu Zirong was not very flexible with a gun, so he took a gun and shot.

"These people, don't run for their lives, they are still defending the city here," Lu Zhenghe looked through the inner red dot scope, and shot down several people who came down from the observation deck among the bamboo forests. My own home, unable to recognize reality.”

This made Ruan Xi dumbfounded.

Once Lu Zhenghe regained some fighting ability, he began to pretend.

"Some people think that family is more important," Li Shen said lazily, he ran out of bullets and didn't have time to change the magazine, so he grabbed a crossbow and arrow and put it on, "We're just passing by. "

Finished another batch.

The crowd dispersed slowly, forming a team that continued to move forward.

It's just that the distance between people is no longer so dense, especially for Lu Zhenghe and his group, he adopts an attitude of respect and distance, and follows them silently without making a sound or suspicion.

The passers-by around were far away, and Wen Kai felt a little relieved.

Ruan Xi pulled the hood tighter, revealing only a pair of eyes looking around.

Although two or three hours had passed, he still felt a rush of hot air running through his body, especially in his lower abdomen.

He tilted his head slightly, sweat dripped down like rain, and covered half of his brows and eyes with the brim of his hat, he didn't want to let Lu Zhenghe see the expression tortured by lust, and he was also afraid that strangers would see him.

He suspects that this estrus period cannot survive at all.

But this situation can't be solved now, and we can only wait until the next city to find another opportunity.

Wen Kai chose a road heading east.

Standing at the beginning of this road, Wen Kai's eyes became slightly different.

This road is deeper and longer than the roads traveled before.Even though it was already daytime, it still had no end in sight, and it looked more like an abyss than the previous road.

Looking up, Wen Kai looked at the distant sky, and the outlines of the northern mountains were clearly drawn in the skylight.

"It's not far from the north, hold on a little longer."

He said, reaching out to help Ruan Xi, "After two cities, we will reach the north-south dividing line. After crossing that line, we will have the best medical treatment methods, the strongest transport vehicles, and will protect you ..."

"Where's Wei Hong?" Ruan Xi whispered, annoyed, "Will Wei Hong not intervene?"

"He can come too," Wen Kai's tone seemed to be talking about what to eat today, "Young Master will get rid of him."

Wei Hong hasn't been a monster for a long time, and Wen Kai is still not used to it.

"Okay," Ruan Xi stepped forward, tried to keep up with Wen Kai's pace, and turned to look for Lu Zhenghe's figure, "Where is the young master?"

I don't know why, every time Ruan Xi followed Wen Kai and Li Shen to call "Young Master", he always felt a little ashamed and not used to it.

If others call Lu Zhenghe that, Lu Zhenghe's reaction is normal, majestic and calm...

But when I yelled like that occasionally, Lu Zhenghe seemed to have been hit by some acupuncture point, there was always a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and a teasing smile in his eyes, as if he was sincerely waiting for him to say the next sentence, and also for this kind of The name is quite useful.

It seems to be asking him: Do you want to tell me something?

Ruan Xi wanted to say, you don't need to do anything, just stand there safely...

Just like four years ago, always standing around me and protecting me.During this journey, I also want to let you know that I can also have the courage and strength to protect you.

He wanted to be equal to Lu Zhenghe, not someone who sacrificed unilaterally.

So every time Lu Zhenghe charged into the battle for him, Ruan Xi's heartbeat would always follow the gunshots again and again, like a small mallet hitting the surface of a cowhide drum.He is the dense drumbeat, and Lu Zhenghe is a boat dancing with the drumbeat, which can carry weight on the gentle waves.

Ruan Xi sighed.

As long as he closes his eyes, all he can think of is Lu Zhenghe's back, which was covered with bandages——

It can block the knife, or it can be relied on.

Seeing that Wen Kai was distracted, Ruan Xi tugged at his sleeve and asked again: "Is Lu Zhenghe nearby?"

"Don't worry, the young master went to explore the way with Li Shen. With Li Shen here, there is no problem." Wen Kai greeted Gu Zirong who was behind him, "Gu Zirong, follow closely!"

"Yes!" Gu Zirong trotted forward with his satchel on his back.

This man was young, and he had already been covered in sweat from fighting like a chariot battle, with dried blood on his cheeks.

Song Shumian followed behind, a little exhausted, but Wen Kai could last until he reached the exit.

Although Ruan Xi has been supporting herself, but after all, the body is made of flesh, and now the tense nerves are relaxed, and he will be terribly tired.

He stood in the bamboo forest, listening to the wind and rain, looked at the endless road behind him, and suddenly felt that the sky had become farther away, and the way home had become longer, and he could never go back.

·

After walking for a long time, Wen Kai passed a fork in the road, and Wen Kai didn't stop, saying that he would go further.

As a result, he misjudged and led a small group of people into a "spiral" road.I was detoured by the road that kept turning, and found that it was a dead end, so I had to go out again.

It's been two hours since I got out.

The sun was high, but the sun was getting lower, and Li Shen began to yawn and feel sleepy.

"This way," Wen Kai stood on tiptoe, pointed to the road that he hadn't walked before, and cheered up: "Go forward!"

Lu Zhenghe was also tired, and turned to stare at him: "Are you still going north?"

"Yeah," Wen Kai looked a little emboldened, and his voice became weaker and weaker, "I haven't walked this distance just now..."

Lu Zhenghe nodded, deliberately standing a little further away from Ruan Xi, "Then let's go."

Ruan Xi followed Wen Kai, but couldn't control her gaze, so she could only follow Lu Zhenghe's back.Lu Zhenghe walked ahead, but his pace was still slow.

Walking to the last corner, they saw the sunlight outside the bamboo forest.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They speeded up their progress, and all ran towards the place with light, which should be the exit, as if there was no shelter from the bamboo forest.

With a distance of more than ten meters from the exit, Lu Zhenghe sensed something was wrong.

He slowed down, stepped on the ground, grabbed Li Shen who was rushing forward enthusiastically, and said calmly: "I feel that the soil here is a little loose."

He raised his head again, and found that there was no bamboo forest in front of him, but only a few scattered bamboos, which seemed to be not growing very well, withered, and were about to fall down when the wind blew.

Li Shen didn't believe in evil, stepped out step by step, stepped on it firmly, and then relaxed his body. After walking a few meters, he suddenly saw a circular cave with a diameter of nearly two meters at the end of the road.

It is not accurate to say that it is a cave. It should lead to the ground and should be called a cave.

There are conspicuous trampling marks at the entrance of the cave, and the sole footprints of various people passing by are left on the soil, indicating that someone has already entered the next city.

A word suddenly flashed in Li Shen's mind——

nether.

Land South No.14 city, underground city.

"What are you looking at?" Wen Kai shouted loudly.

"There's a cave here," Li Shen said, "I guess it's the entrance to the next city."

Wen Kai: "Go down and have a look!"

Li Shen: "Huh?"

Lu Zhenghe walked forward with folded arms, took a look, and said to Li Shen, "I'll go down with you. Explore the road."

Li Shen frowned and said: "What should I do if the hole is very deep? Just go down rashly like this?"

"There is no other way." Lu Zhenghe said.

"Let me go, young master," Gu Zirong stood up, "Your back injury is not healed yet, so you can't fall."

Lu Zhenghe pondered for a while.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the people in his team, "Why don't we go down together. This way we can take care of each other, anyway, this is the only way."

"No wonder Wen Kai said it's best not to buy a car." Li Shen rubbed his chin, "Isn't buying a car for nothing?"

Lu Zhenghe nodded and said, "I still have to buy a car."

"Of course! Then we go down together?"

Li Shen looked and looked at the entrance of the cave, and even threw the "ghost crossbow" behind him, knelt on the ground and listened to the sound from the ground, he only felt noisy.Although the too huge bow and crossbow almost hit Gu Zirong behind him.

"Will you fall to your death?" Li Shen frowned, as if he was seriously thinking about this question.

Lu Zhenghe said helplessly, "Since it is for human use, it shouldn't be very deep."

"Take action."

Wen Kai put away the gun pinned to his waist and put it in his pocket, "Li Shen, protect your bow and crossbow from breaking in the hole."

"Okay!" Li Shen replied.

After hearing Wen Kai's reminder, Ruan Xicai reached out to get his Xiaoyan Lingdao.

He took off the Xiaoyan Lingdao and hugged it in his arms, thought for a while, stepped forward, resisted the pain from the friction between the wound and the cloth, and stood beside Lu Zhenghe: "I want to go down with you."
