Temptation on the tip of the tongue

"Mr. Xavier, we have finally found you." Chen Xiaoxiao almost cried without excitement, her eyes gradually filled with the surprise of the survivors.

Charles lowered his head in a daze, looked at the beautiful blue candy Teddy put in his palm, and said slowly after a long time: "Thank you."

Looking up, seeing the light in the tall young man's eyes, he praised again: "It's beautiful."

After Teddy was praised, he showed a shy smile, lowered his head shyly, and buried his head into Chen Xiaoxiao's shoulder.

Chen Xiaoxiao helplessly explained to Charles: "He's embarrassed."

After she finished speaking, she let out a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we found you. If we were a little later, it would be too late to find the research results here."

When Charles heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his tired expression. He raised his head to look at Chen Xiaoxiao, but saw Kuaiyin who was behind her trying to convey the message to him.

Charles looked at the sweat beads on his forehead and the regretful expression, and understood what happened almost instantly.

He never thought of himself as a wise man, but he knew his friends so well that he knew what they would do for him.

Chen Xiaoxiao was unaware of this, but anxiously took off Teddy's metal gloves and showed him the injury on Teddy's hand: "The doctor at our base told me that Teddy only has one week left. Due to this The virus has undergone a secondary mutation, and the mutation has exceeded the normal range, so he will have a week to find the antibody...Fortunately, we met Kuaiyin, and he told me..."

Kuaiyin said in a hoarse voice beside him, "I told her that you have achieved unparalleled achievements in virus research."

He grabbed his hand irritably, pinched it hard behind his back: "In short, we are running out of time, we have to get out of here as soon as possible..."

Saying that, he looked at Charles with a glimmer of hope: "Let's take the 'antibody' and leave, shall we?"

Charles understood what he was talking about.

He hoped that he would not expose him, and not tell Chen Xiaoxiao the truth at the last moment, and wait for them to go out.

However, Charles quietly looked at the blue candy in his hand, thinking of that clear and pure smile.

In an instant, something that hadn't been beating for a long time stirred in his chest.

He sighed softly.

"As you can see, I am a cripple. Taking a cripple like me to escape may cause even greater losses."

He raised his eyes as calm as the sea, and looked at Chen Xiaoxiao quietly: "I actually know, because I said to Kuaiyin before, 'If you want to kill all my students to save a useless person like me , then it would be better to let me die’ that’s why he was in such a difficult situation.”

"Actually, I didn't expect him to bring back someone who could save me. I thought I was going to die, and wanted to open the last door and be with my students forever."

Chen Xiaoxiao looked at him blankly: "But...but you clearly..."

Charles smiled bitterly: "Yeah, he must have told you that I have treasures that others don't have in order to save me. For example, antibodies."

Those beautiful eyes dimmed:

"Unfortunately, I have nothing."

"I don't want to cause you to fall here just to lie to you at this time."

Kuaiyin gritted his teeth, and hit the wall in a circle with resentment.

He didn't know if Chen Xiaoxiao understood what he had said so much, but he just quietly waited for the other party's answer.

Even if Chen Xiaoxiao could accept it, the infected boy would be desperate and hate him, Charles thought.

However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Xiaoxiao was the only one who was emotional. Teddy stood meekly aside, took out candy from his left pocket, licked it carefully, and found that Chen Xiaoxiao didn't notice it, then took out the candy again. Come out and sneak a sip.

Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed: "What are you talking about?"

"You probably misunderstood. We are not bad people, and we don't want to use these things to do excessive things. It's just because he...he was infected, although he didn't know what happened to him. I thought selfishly. To save him."

Chen Xiaoxiao struggled to laugh, and pinned her hair behind her ears uneasily: "You may be wrong, we don't belong to any district, and I don't represent anyone, it's just because he needs it, so you won't do that You watched him die cruelly, right? And you are so sympathetic to your students, you won't let anyone die like this, right?"

Charles looked at her and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry."

As if the last dream was shattered by someone, Chen Xiaoxiao could hardly stand still.She had understood everything that had happened, but she stood still, didn't speak, didn't argue with anyone, just stood there.

Kuaiyin tried to stretch out his hand to help her by the shoulder.

Since he was at the base, he had countless opportunities to explain, but he gave up all of them.

What if she refuses after knowing all this?

That's how she does things, right?

But, should he just watch the professor starve to death in the ground like this, turning into a carrion?

He couldn't do it, couldn't do it at all.

The combination of Chen Xiaoxiao and Teddy is the strongest he has ever seen in the last days. One is fearless because of his emotional numbness, and the other loves everything because of his innocence.

Everyone has weaknesses, but they don't.

However, at this moment, Kuaiyin stood quietly beside Chen Xiaoxiao, and he suddenly began to doubt: Does she really have no weaknesses?

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't avoid him, nor did she struggle, she just stood there, he didn't know what was going on in her head, which made him uneasy.

After Chen Xiaoxiao stood stiffly for a long time, she suddenly said: "I want to take you back, I don't care if you want to go out with us or not. I don't want to leave you to that lunatic Brandon, let him create some terrible something."

She raised her head slowly and looked at Charles with an almost numb gaze: "Please don't be willful and go back with us."

Charles smiled helplessly, and there was a tired tenderness in that smile: "Okay."

"I've heard about Brandon you mentioned. In fact, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you for."

"The shield at the top of the school is broken, so you must be able to see the distribution of zombies on the plane. Once the plane from the third district passes by here, all my students will become experimental subjects. This is me... The last thing you want to see."

Kuaiyin suddenly spoke. He didn't notice that he took a step forward, trying to protect Chen Xiaoxiao behind him: "Professor, you know that this is impossible! Our best choice now is to blow up the entire school!"

A calm voice came from behind him:

"That's something I don't want to see either. I'm going to fix that thing."

Kuaiyin was surprised: "You go? How to fix it?"

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't answer him.

From just now, she didn't even look at him, as if he was an air that didn't exist, and ignored him indifferently.

She took out the communicator from her bag, and dialed the button to request a call several times, until the weak and recognizable voice sounded: "What do you want from your orderly?"

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "I want to climb to the roof of the school building to repair a shielding device, please Mr. Wilson provide me with all the resources."

The voice over there was obviously surprised: "Oh, when did you respect me so much, you must be dying soon."

Chen Xiaoxiao: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll screw your head off, and then wait for your head to grow back before screwing it up, then screwing it up, then screwing it up..."

The other side hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I will provide resources! But it has been agreed in advance that I can throw things to you from above, but it is absolutely impossible to stay, you have to climb up by yourself."

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "Okay, start preparing now, I will call you when I get to the roof."

The usual lazy voice on the pager was rarely concerned: "Oh, I said, you won't be bitten by zombies and lose your mind. Listen to me, the weather above this school is always very abnormal. If you climb up now, there is no guarantee that you will not be struck by lightning..."

Chen Xiaoxiao: "It's okay, I can't die."

Wilson, who is also not afraid of death but has nothing to say: "..."

Chen Xiaoxiao turned off the communication indifferently.

Kuaiyin tried to communicate with her: "That's dangerous, do you understand? It's dangerous."

Chen Xiaoxiao seemed to have calmed down a bit, and turned to look at him: "Although you tricked me into coming here, I chose to come here myself, and I have to do things well." Then she turned to Charles: "Professor, There is one thing I need to tell you: I will try my best to repair that object because I want to give the research of the base a chance. I will not allow Brandon to experiment with your students because I want our people to do it I'm not going to hide it from you about the experiment."

"If I'm not capable enough to fix it, I'll blow up the whole school."

She said, carrying the available equipment on her shoulders, with a cold expression: "I don't want you to understand this, I have to do it."

Chen Xiaoxiao turned around with a wry smile: "You're not going to stop me, are you?"

Charles was moved by her honesty, and he was equally frank: "All I can do is pray that you succeed. If you can't, I won't stand by and watch you carry out the bombing."

Chen Xiaoxiao laughed: "Thank you for your honesty."

"As far as I know, you know much more about this school than I do. We cannot take you with you, so Teddy will escort you to leave first."

She looked at Charles sadly: "As you can see, he is a fool with an insufficiency, no different from your student, I hope you can protect him."

"At least until he turned into a zombie."

"Regardless of the circumstances, please do not let him make any decisions."

Chen Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, and tied the bag that was bigger than herself tightly to her body: "He has a heart like gold, but such a heart is not suitable for living."

She said, walking towards the elevator, preparing to return the same way.

Quicksilver immediately stood in front of her: "What are you doing?"

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "We set off at the same time, if my side attracts more zombies, you will be safer."

Kuaiyin was almost laughed at by her: "What kind of hero are you at this time? How could you climb up to the roof by yourself under such circumstances? No matter what, I want to go with you!"

Seeing that she was still indifferent, he took a step forward, gritted his teeth and said, "I said I would protect you..."

Chen Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at him numbly: "I don't need your protection."

"I will do whatever it takes to survive, and you will only get in the way if you follow me."

"They are your friends, teachers, and classmates. In my eyes, they are just dead people and zombies. If they block my way, I will break their necks. You are here, and I have to consider your feelings."

Kuaiyin only felt a fatal loneliness spreading in his heart.

He hated her indifferent look.

"So, you don't trust me anymore, do you?"

He knew it was meaningless to ask these words at this time, but he still wanted to ask.

Chen Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at him: "If I didn't believe you, how could I hand him over to you?"

"Take him well to Wilson, I beg you."

"I have nothing. I only have him." As if speaking to someone who did not exist, she looked at the place where there was no one, and repeated in a low voice: "I only have him."

As if she had strengthened her confidence, she raised her head and said happily, "If we keep this school, we can provide Dr. Ralph with a lot of research resources!"

In fact Teddy could never understand what profound things they were talking about.

Until now, he finally found a topic that he could understand, and happily echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, this, this, this, Dr. Ralph can save and save Spider-Man!"

Then, as if he was afraid that the people next to him would not understand, he told Charles in a very low voice and solemnly: "Xiaoxiao likes him..."

----------

Long after Brandon's gunfire had stopped, Natasha raised her head very slowly.

Fatal numbness spread throughout his body, but the blood hole on his head was rapidly healing.

The man with ice blue eyes showed a cruel smile: "How does it feel to gain eternal life?"

Natasha didn't answer, but closed her eyes.

She could hear the sound of flesh and blood coming back to life.

At this time, the familiar voice outside the door sounded impatiently again: "Brandon?"

Brandon said with a smile: "I hope you won't be cold when you meet, after all, he was the one who sentenced you to death just now."

He opened the door, and the familiar figure appeared in Natasha's vision.

Simple white short sleeves, slightly messy hair, and honey-colored eyes are like a dark swirl, almost sucking people in.

Tony Stark.

He obviously saw her, but he just raised his eyebrows coldly, his expression full of indifference.

Natasha said hoarsely, "Tony..."

Brandon seemed to enjoy their pain very much. He caressed his cuff leisurely and walked up to Tony: "Mr. Stark, what do you want me for?"

Tony looked down at him slightly, and said indifferently, "It's really slow."

He pulled out the hand hidden behind his back suddenly, and the golden scepter in his hand hit Brandon's head fiercely. He staggered a step and backed up. The intense white light hit his chest like an explosion!

Due to the strong impact, Brandon was knocked into the air, and his painful body pierced through the thick wall of the laboratory, and his whole body was completely buried!

"Tony" looked at Natasha who was tied up in the laboratory indifferently: "You can really cause trouble."

There was a white cold light all over him, Tony's skin slowly disappeared, the robe inlaid with gold strands slowly appeared, and Loki's sneering eyebrows gradually emerged.

Natasha was stunned: "You..."

Loki raised his eyebrows: "My Highness saved you, hurry up and kneel down to thank me."

He was just talking, and he didn't really ask Natasha to kneel down. He raised his hand and smashed her handcuffs and anklets, and stood proudly in front of her with his hands behind his back: "What are you doing standing there, come and steal some with me!" Antibody."

Natasha moved her wrist: "Stop using that bossy tone and me—"

Before they had time to really quarrel, there was suddenly a soft sound of bones from the ruins beside them.

Brandon's body struggled to stand up from under the huge wall, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "Loki, do you really think your base is so strong?"

Obviously, his strength could not be fully recovered, he struggled and said, "I will give you one last chance."

Loki: "Thank you so much."

Then, the scepter in his hand radiated light again and hit his position hard.

He carried Natasha, who was still unable to walk, on his shoulders: "There is no time, I can't beat Stark!"

Natasha: "What?"

After the alarm sounded, the red armor opened towards the light and slowly descended to the exit.

Facing the two people who were about to flee, he slowly raised his gleaming palm.
