mayfly era

"And then?" the silver-haired man asked.

Chen Li raised his arm, which was covered with a thick medicinal cloth, "It's bad luck, I was stepped on by bugs."

"You are a big living being stepped on by bugs?" The silver-haired man couldn't help raising his voice.

"I'll show you next time."

"No, no." The silver-haired man waved his hands repeatedly.

"You come to my place every day for drinking, when will you settle the bill?"

The silver-haired man smiled hippie, "I'm not worried about you..."

"Boss asked you to come?"

"I swear, it's purely voluntary. I'm really worried about you." The silver-haired man said sincerely.

"..."

"Okay, I admit it, I'm here to drink."

Chen Li glanced at the silver-haired man and said nothing. After a while, he stood up and walked to the wine cabinet inside.He bought the entire cold storage as a wine cabinet. Once he walked in, the chill was biting, and the rows of wine bottles were like soldiers in an array. It only took one month for them to "die" on the front line.

— After all, his bar business is very good.

Chen Yue took out a bottle of liqueur from the deepest part of the fourth row of wine cabinets, wiped off the frost on it, returned with the wine, and placed it in front of the silver-haired man.

"It can't be sold," Chen Li said, "Since you're here to buy wine, help me clear the inventory."

The silver-haired man picked up the wine bottle with a puzzled expression and turned to the label on the front. He saw a high-heeled shoe painted on the body of the bottle, on which was written "The Love of Sexy Women" in large lace characters.

The corners of his mouth twitched silently.

It was safe and sound until the store closed today, and it was so quiet that it made people feel uncomfortable.

There were two more electronic tickets on the silver-haired man's car window, but he still pretended not to see them, greeted Chen Li and drove away.

Chen Li stood on the side of the road smoking a refreshing cigarette for a while, and suddenly remembered that he didn't see T when he left, and T usually sang until the store was closed before leaving.It has been a month since Young Master Mei came back, and T said that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, maybe it was really a long time, and the ordinary inhibitors have expired, so a barrier inhibitor must be used.

Looking at the pinhole on T's arm, I'm afraid barrier inhibitors are also used less.

He took another puff of the cigarette, and was rushed by the sour and cold particles, which made him cough immediately, and the lobes of his lungs shrank for a while, feeling sore and painful.It was rare for him to be restless, and he faintly felt that something was about to happen.

While walking towards home, Chen Li made a voice call to t through the private channel. The cold mechanical voice in the microphone reminded that the channel was in arrears.

The sense of crisis overly cultivated on the battlefield made Chen Li instantly realize that something was wrong, and he turned around and ran to the bar.

The streets in the middle of the night were dotted with a few homeless men and drunks, and they couldn't even see the figures clearly, only felt the wind in the hem of their clothes, and the shaved skin hurt.

The door of the bar was already locked, but Boss Chen didn't change the lock because of laziness, and the key was in the manager's hand.So he stepped on the top of the trash can and jumped up to the external fire escape on the second floor. He remembered that this external access was a combination lock.

What he didn't expect was that the password control door on the second floor was programmed by someone, and an ominous premonition sounded the alarm in his mind like a reminder.

He didn't have time to think about it, he pulled out the rib, cut off the thumb-thick control valve with two knives, and the door popped open.

The cold neon lights in the street poured into the dark corridor, and there was a man's cursing voice, mixed with a foreign language or a dialect, a bunch of chirping, quacking, and quacking, Chen Li didn't understand, but he recognized the identity of this person , is also his employee.

The scene inside made Chen Li's eyes turn cold instantly. He held his hand on the handle of the knife in his ribs and took a deep breath.

But the man didn't feel the anger at all, he was still smiling, "Boss, I'll just play around, I finally got a little—"

In the next second, his voice stopped abruptly and turned into a strange sound of blood foaming in his mouth.

The man's head slipped from the flat wound on his neck, blood spurted out from the neck cavity, and splashed on the dim yellow wall of the fire escape.

At the same time, his body hit T. T opened his eyes expressionlessly, even though the blood was splashed all over his face, he only blinked slightly. T's eyes were open, but his eyes were not focused, and he collapsed against the wall in a strange posture, his breathing hissed like weeping.

Chen Li forcibly suppressed his fluttering breath, wiped the knife, sheathed it, and inserted it back into the belt.He leaned down and hugged T. The smell of gonadal hormones on the boy's body mixed with the smell of blood, forming a very unpleasant smell. This smell...

Chen Yue took a deep breath, he felt the four corners of his vision began to overflow with blood red, he felt a little nauseous.

He couldn't hold a rutting omega on the streets in a dignified way—in Central City, it was a serious illegal act for a rutting omega to appear on the street.

But he didn't drive today, and he also felt that his problem was delaying things.

The boy kept twitching in his arms, and the sticky liquid stained his clothes. His clothes were made of some kind of black-tech waterproof material, stained with scarlet liquid, and reflected the plastic light at night.

He carried T into his coat, gritted his teeth and walked towards the dungeon.

Entering the dungeon, Chen Yue opened the electronic shield.The electronic shield is lit with orange and blue warning lights, and a weak current is attached to the wall of the shield. It is a common defensive weapon, but the warning effect is far greater than the defensive effect.

The dungeon is an extremely dangerous place, because of the long-term lack of normal living materials, those who survived have undergone mutations to varying degrees, and there are also strange beasts and polluted gases running around - all of which he personally investigated intelligence.

But he needed to take T home immediately. T's body temperature had reached a dangerous threshold, and a lot of dehydration and bleeding threatened his life.

Today's dungeon is quiet and smells of high corruption.

Chen Li sprinted forward along the wall, hearing nothing but the occasional sound of water drops from the water pipe.

The area he chose had fewer refugees, which was why it was so quiet.But the extreme silence is not a good thing, probably because this area is ruled by some monsters, but he has no time to think about these at the moment, he can only gamble his life.

The boy in his arms was terribly hot, but he suppressed his silence, his body was shaking uncontrollably, and even started to twitch.

He took T home in 13 minutes, put the boy on his bed, dug out an old antipyretic from the medicine cabinet, grabbed the boy's arm, and quickly ended the injection before T could convulse .

Powerful antipyretic drugs will act on the heart, slowing down the heart rate to relieve the symptoms of high fever and tachycardia. This kind of drug that paralyzes the myocardium will bring certain side effects.

Chen Li cleaned and applied medicine to the large and small wounds on T's body. The wounds were not deep, but densely packed, like scars made by metal scrapers.

He didn't see the metal piece at the scene... maybe it was the decoration on the clothes.

T was severely dehydrated, his lips were split and bloody, his eyes were closed, and his body was twisted tightly.

Chen Yue could hear T making vague voices, but his physical strength could no longer support him to speak clearly.

For young people, the estrus period is a very bad thing. If this time the drug escapes the past, it will be doubled next time.Until the body is old, there is not enough physical strength to support this excitement and high fever.

T lasted for four hours, and finally passed the shock.He sweated a lot, shed a lot of tears, I don't know whether it was physical or psychological, his face was pale, he bit his lips and arms, and the blood spots were wiped away by Chen Yue, and he took the trouble to go to bed for him. medicine.

Chen Li never thought of himself as a good person. The most comments he received before were - he went crazy and denied his relatives, and "killed the embryo".

But he looked at T curled up, and felt that the boy was like a thin and pitiful kitten. There are scars left by the operation on the arms and legs. Chen Li knows that it is an operation - melting the sex hormone glands all over the body, so as to gradually change the signs of the omega. This operation is very painful, and it is easy to die .

Chen Yue doesn't know the details of T's past, but it must not be a happy one.

Before he knew it, he had already walked to his workbench. He kept puffing out the smoke, and the sedative particles filled in it hovered in his mouth.

In the end, he turned on the machine, entered the bureau's population database, and synthesized an analog pheromone of Master Mei.

The small tube of pheromone lay quietly in the palm of his hand.He held it in his hand, but he couldn't measure the weight accurately. He knew that the glass tube was very light, but felt heavy.

This is t's life.His choice had mistakes and risks on one end, and the boy's life on the other, but he'd made the mistake.

I haven't been back to the base for a while, and I don't know if the ventilation system in the confinement room has been repaired.Chen Li twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled without a smile.

***

When T woke up, it was still pitch black.After sitting up, he felt that his body had not been so relaxed for a long time, and the heavy oppressive feeling on his body for several months disappeared.

After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he vaguely saw his boss changing clothes.

Chen Li didn't wear the more popular clothes that he usually wears on a daily basis—for example, a black hoodie with a dark chain, or a designer windbreaker made of waterproof leather.Instead, he changed into a fitted black shirt, a crisp black flight jacket with a bright red lining, and he wore a pair of new military boots, the metal buckles still gleaming in the dark.

T knew that he was rescued by Boss Chen. As for the method, it must not be a simple and ordinary matter. Both he and Boss Chen may have to pay some price.

"Are you awake?" Chen Li heard the boy curled up on the bed move.

"Well, good morning boss." T smiled.

"It's already night." Chen Li reminded helplessly, "I just made dinner, you can go eat by yourself after you wash up, you've already missed work... just sleep again."

Chen Li paused and continued, "I may not go to the store recently, the smoker will help me look at the store... It's the silver-haired one, you can call him Old Smoke. Also, don't tear off the isolation film during this time , will be infected... and the potted flower on the windowsill will have to be raised for me for a while."

He had never heard Chen Li say such a long paragraph, as if explaining what happened for a long time in the future.

T couldn't help being a little worried, but he thought that since Chen Li didn't say it clearly, it was something he didn't need to know.So he nodded and asked some innocuous trivia.

At the end, Chen Li bent down and patted his head, with a little imperceptible tenderness in his cold voice, "Be careful."

T sent Chen Li to the door. In the night, Chen Li's suspended Nightcrawler sports car hovered outside the door, and the blue electromagnetic exchange layer supported the new sports car.

He was in good shape, with long legs and high military boots, and he stepped into the car with a single step, so chic that it made people's hearts surge.

After getting along with him this year, T still can't see through his boss. Chen Li doesn't talk much, and he likes black. From clothes to objects, the background color is pure black, but he is not an old-fashioned man. Wire. T is envious of Chen Li's height and long legs, he is a window model in everything he wears.

Looking at the appearance, t thinks that Chen Li should be a, or even b at worst, but the second gender is often not inferred from the appearance.

Chen Li said that the silver-haired man was named Smoker.This should be an alias, but T feels vaguely familiar. The flight jacket with a black background and red lining that Chen Li wore today also made him feel familiar, as if it had flashed in a certain link in the information he collected.

But these are not within the inner circle, and he is not in a hurry to explore.

He went to the kitchen and opened the incubator, and there was a dinner in it, which was a very traditional meal, rice porridge, boiled chicken slices, vegetable cubes marinated in chili and black vinegar.

At first glance, this kind of pickled vegetables is not a synthetic product of capsaicin sold in the market.

Boss Chen pickles his own vegetables at home? T made up the scene in his brain and thought it was a bit fun.

The author has something to say:

Add a bit of character design: both Chen Li and Smoke Gun belong to rc, used to be freelance mercenaries, and are currently G's non-staff staff.

He used to be a super combatant who occupied the top two mercenary worth rankings in continent A all the year round (guess which of these two is number one haha)
