"Is it just like that? Honey, I know you're not that vulnerable. You can't be scared like this because of such a small thing."

The red deer stroked Calvin's neck, then slowly slid down his back.

Like a naughty child, he counted Calvin's spine joint by joint with his fingertips.His movements are so gentle, in stark contrast to the coldness in his tone.

Sure enough, just after he finished speaking, Calvin trembled heavily in his arms.

"I……"

"I don't like it when you hide from me."

Calvin subconsciously wanted to put some distance away from the red deer. He was so close to the red deer now that he was inexplicably afraid.

But before he could move, Red Deer seemed to know what he was going to do.

The man with the green eyes mercilessly trapped Calvin with his body.

"Shh, take it easy baby, I'm not going to hurt you, I never will, I just want you to know that—and, you can trust me."

Red Deer lowered his voice, and whispered to Calvin with a dark hoarseness.

"Tell me what you saw and why you behaved so abnormally..."

A look of panic appeared in Calvin's eyes.

This made him look even more vulnerable and wonderful.

The Red Deer involuntarily exerted a little force, and Calvin let out an uncontrollable muffled groan in his arms.

"Well, I... I think it's just my hallucination, no, it should be him attacking my inner weakness."

In the end, Calvin surrendered to the red stag.

He didn't want to tell anyone what he had seen, what had really scared him.

Calvin didn't lie to Red Deer, for a moment, soul to soul, Calvin became "Joshua."

He was trapped in the memory of "Joshua", experiencing the hellish life as Joshua.

And what constitutes the basic blueprint of that hell is the so-called private plastic surgery hospital in Brazil.

Even though Calvin had known for a long time that the hospital could not be normal if he could get the pair of amputated wings through unknown means, he really didn't expect that the hospital was so... wrong.

Rather than saying that it is a damn plastic surgery hospital, it is better to say that it is an illegal human research laboratory in the shell of a hospital.

And in Joshua's memory, Calvin actually saw a very familiar figure.

red beard.

When he concealed his identity in the underground world and relied on the mixed bottom society to cover up his identity, Dr. Holden's friend Redbeard once gave him quite strict protection.For a long, long time, both Dr. Holden himself and Calvin knew that the reason why they could live a relatively peaceful life was that they had to thank the emperor of the illegal world with a cold heart.

"...But I think... that researcher is him. God, I never thought that besides committing crimes, Redbeard was also a researcher in an illegal laboratory."

Calvin trembled involuntarily, and his voice even became extremely dry, almost choking.

He didn't dare to think about the connection between Dr. Holden and the real identity of the red beard.

This is why in front of Isaac, Calvin has been making amazing efforts to maintain a superficial calm, even though his whole body is on the verge of collapse.

"I...I don't know what to believe...I don't even know if that actually happened..."

"I think you just have to believe what you really believe."

Red Deer said to Calvin without hesitation.

"And what you saw was probably a nightmare that Joshua specially made up for you.

He and Calvin had gotten into a pretty intimate—even a little too intimate—position.

Calvin could feel the body temperature of the red deer, as well as his breath. When he spoke, his chest vibrated slightly, and all these made Calvin finally calm down.

He felt as if he was slowly awakened from a nightmare.

Red Deer kept staring at Calvin closely, and he didn't miss the change in the other's expression.

He smiled, leaned over and kissed the corner of Calvin's mouth.

"I have warned you before that you may be invaded and contaminated by his spirit. I don't know how those guys created that monster, but he is really powerful. When you see him, he may also see You—the most vulnerable part of your heart."

The red deer whispered softly in Calvin's ear.

"That's what I was worried about..." he said.

"I've talked myself into that before, but, damn it, I can't get over that face and what he did to Joshua, man, it was just—"

"Shh, I have a little idea."

Red Deer's hand slowly reached for Calvin's collar button.

He blinked at An Jing and Renwen, and the smile on his lips became deeper.

"You know I can do it, you need to rest, at least for this night, you should think about nothing and get a good night's sleep."

Calvin shook his lips uneasily. He exchanged a glance with Red Deer, then pursed his lips, and did not push the man away from him...

……

……

The next day, the sun just outlined a golden light on the horizon, and everyone was already awake.

Calvin was the last to leave the room

He was in a trance for a moment after walking down the stairs - the smell of food filled the kitchen, and there were quite appetizing foods on the table (you can hardly believe that they are canned food unless you look carefully) , a man in an apron stood in front of a fire frying an egg.

Joyce and Han sat on chairs with subtle expressions, staring at the breakfast in front of them.

Hearing footsteps, the man with the frying pan in his hand turned around and greeted Calvin very gently.

"Hey, you're awake."

Red Deer's expression now looks like the virtuous and beautiful housewife in an old home appliance advertisement, but at the same time, there is another touch of familiarity about him.

From an outsider's point of view, all this is quite miraculous: Histu's amazing talent in family affairs has been perfectly preserved after personality fusion.And his habit of reticence combined with Reed's tenderness and affection made for the perfect object of affection (whether for man or woman).

Calvin froze for a moment, he had to spend a little time connecting the man in front of him with the beast from last night.

"Good morning……"

In the next second, Calvin keenly noticed that the eyes of Han and Joyce fell on him indistinctly. Calvin reluctantly pampered them and forced a smile, and then he greeted them.

He swore he had done everything he could to keep quiet last night, but he was in such a state of confusion that at this moment he wasn't sure if the two people in front of him had been disturbed last night.

"Good morning, you look much better today."

Han laughed lightly.

"Mr. Red Deer made breakfast for us. It looks really good. It feels like it can get us to Los Angeles smoothly."

he added mischievously.

But Calvin was still a little uneasy. He looked around the restaurant but couldn't find any familiar figure. Finally, he had to ask, "Where did Isaac go?"

The moment the voice fell, Isaac walked into the restaurant coldly with a dusty body.

"I found another car in the garage."

He announced as soon as he entered the restaurant.

"Next we can divide into two cars, which is safer." Isaac said, and then he gave Calvin a straight look, "Calvin can keep up with me."

Before the Red Deer looked at him, Isaac pointed at Joyce and said to the Red Deer, "You can follow that van, I believe they will welcome you."

Seeing Aizhak who showed obvious hostility, Red Deer simply raised his eyebrows, and then he looked at Calvin.

Calfile rubbed his eyebrows.

"Isaac..."

"It's safer for you to follow me."

Isaac said.

Just seeing the look in Isaac's eyes, Calvin's heart skipped a beat.

Well, he is already a complete adult, and Calvin believes that he should not feel guilty in any way...

But Calvin still had to back down a step.

In the following trip, the atmosphere of Calvin and Isaac in the car has been quite heavy.

Calvin thought that Isaac would question Calvin about Izak in the car, but the reality was completely beyond his expectations.

Isaac just drove normally along the way, and didn't ask Calvin anything about the red deer.

This made Calvin feel even more uneasy.

And in this increasingly uneasy atmosphere, the group moved forward in a rather thrilling way, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Los Angeles two days later.

And it was here that everyone (probably except the Red Deer) suffered a considerable psychological shock-before that, no matter who it was, there was actually more or less a little bit of hope for Los Angeles.

After all, there are a lot of upstarts and old money lurking here, no matter what happens here, it should be protected by the state.

But just driving to the edge of the entire area, everyone already knows the answer.

There are no lights, no electricity, no clues that civilization still exists.

Just blood, corpses, and more corpses.

All the bodies were scattered randomly on the ground, looking more like a Lego game played by a child.

Only the cold moonlight shines more and more coldly on this silent land...

Route [-] leading to that city has been completely turned into a vehicle dump by abandoned vehicles.

It's bad, but it's better than the previous 103 lanes when several other roads were completely destroyed and completely impassable.

At least there are not a large number of vehicles piled up in a mountain, completely impassable.

"I need to clear some obstacles here to pass, and you?"

Calvin watched helplessly as Isaac pulled out an unusually old-fashioned walkie-talkie from a drawer, and shouted at the car behind the car that Joyce, Han, and Red Deer were driving together.

"Zizi...Okay...Zizi...Please be careful of those lunatics..."

Isaac jumped out of the car with a knife in hand.

He ignored Calvin.
