The magician realized he had gone too far and didn't want to talk to the two lunatics anymore, so he decided to make a run for it.
Just before his figure disappeared, the two men attacked simultaneously.
The mycelium pierced deep into the magician's body, and the magician groaned as he gritted his teeth and retreated.
The young man followed closely behind, carrying Xiao Jiu as they disappeared.
The magician's fate is currently unknown. At this moment, Yu An, who had just emerged from the space, was struggling to drag Xie Chiyuan away.
"Xie Chiyuan, hang in there!"
Yu An carried Xie Chiyuan on his back with great effort. Ten minutes earlier, the observation room had been in grave danger, and it was Xie Chiyuan who had managed to break through the space that had trapped them, allowing them to escape.
The observation room specifically set up for the aberration variants was also targeted at Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan hadn't even drawn his bone blade yet.
The little deformed creature, like the lowest form of life, scurried up onto Yu An and Xie Chiyuan.
Yu An found these things disgusting, so before the little deformed creature could crawl over, he boldly clung to Xie Chiyuan's back and asked Xie Chiyuan to kick it.
Xie Chiyuan let him hang up, but then he felt he was spoiling him too much.
Before Xie Chiyuan could adopt a cold attitude and give a lecture, the indestructible little deformity and the pungent odor diverted his attention.
The observation room is not simple.
These were just appetizers at first, but as time went on, Xie Chiyuan realized that this place was disadvantageous to him.
"Yu An, we need to go."
Yu An nodded vigorously. Of course he wanted to leave, but there was no way he could!
Xie Chiyuan's eyes darkened, and he became ruthless.
In less than ten minutes, Xie Chiyuan forcefully broke through the space. The price he paid was also visible to the naked eye; he bled quite a bit.
As Yu An dragged him out, his eyes were practically red with desire.
Big Head smells so good, it's so good he wants to take a bite right there!
Yu An tried hard to control himself and, after struggling for a while, found an empty space.
The magicians' supernatural space has been detached, and they are now essentially back in the ruined old city of Elm. The night in the old city is about to end, and the faint light of dawn is peeking out on the horizon.
Yu An remembered what the survivors in the basement had said: the old city would be under control at night, but it was relatively safer during the day.
It seems the monsters can't stand the light, and consequently, they don't like to appear during the day.
Yu An's lucky charm shone brightly, and in the shortest amount of time, she settled Xie Chiyuan in.
They moved into a small but relatively clean house. There were no corpses, no monsters, and thankfully, no filthy bloodstains.
Xie Chiyuan was only slightly injured, not dying.
He watched Yu An bustling about, looking like she was taking care of her critically ill father, and his thin lips moved slightly: "Yu An, come here."
Yu An, who was fetching water, rushed over upon hearing this.
He squatted down in front of Xie Chiyuan, his hands neatly placed on his lap, his beautiful, clear eyes filled with concern: "What's wrong?"
Xie Chiyuan met his gaze, and after a few seconds, he slightly looked away: "Nothing, just wanted to let you know, don't worry too much about me."
"This injury is nothing."
His rise to his current position in the West District over the years was not due to his adoptive father being the head of the West District. He himself possessed convincing abilities.
Initially, he didn't let anyone know his identity at all.
Yu An fell silent for a moment.
Regardless, Xie Chiyuan had been protecting him the whole time and even gave him the lizard skin pouch. He should reciprocate by taking good care of Xie Chiyuan during this time.
"Close your eyes and take a nap."
Yu An looked at him and whispered, "You're bleeding."
Yu An is afraid of pain. Back in the research institute, with Zai Zai and Selina around, he would whimper and complain about the pain when he cut his finger.
Xie Chiyuan thought he was tough and didn't take the injury to heart.
Yu An reached out and covered his eyes: "Go to sleep, it won't hurt when you're asleep. My dad said that sleep is very important for the body."
Under Yu An's persistent insistence, Xie Chiyuan finally closed his eyes as he wished. His long eyelashes brushed against Yu An's palm as he closed his eyes, tickling him.
"I'll go find you something to eat."
After saying that, Yu An put his hand away and turned back to his work.
He first fetched water and cleaned the bedroom where Xie Chiyuan would be staying, and then carefully wiped it clean as well.
Xie Chiyuan fell asleep as soon as he said he would, and didn't even open his eyes when his clothes were lifted to wipe his body.
Yu An held a wet towel and looked at the several scars crawling on his strong chest. The scars were gruesome, and he guessed that he had suffered a lot back then.
But it's also cool.
Yu An secretly touched it a few times, and then turned his gaze to its fresh, bleeding wound.
"It smells so good."
The aroma made his stomach rumble. Yu An looked down at his stomach; ever since he turned into a zombie, his stomach had been flat.
After licking Xie Chiyuan's lips last time, I'm not really hungry anymore.
But now that so much time has passed, he's hungry again.
Xie Chiyuan was still asleep, his thin eyelids closed beneath his long, thick eyelashes. He was exceptionally handsome, his features as if meticulously sculpted by the Creator, his entire face flawless.
Yu An mustered her courage, without even saying sorry, and gently buried her forehead in his chest.
The warm, soft lips, the moment they touched my skin, felt like they carried a tiny electric current, sending shivers down my spine.
Yu Anxin was completely focused, licking the wound several times. After he finished, his face turned bright red with guilt, and he didn't dare to lift his eyes.
"Saliva is disinfectant."
Yu An covered the wound again and whispered to Xie Chiyuan, "I'm disinfecting it for you."
Yu An himself didn't believe such nonsense.
He was easily satisfied; after taking a few bites, he was completely content.
As compensation, he was extra careful when wiping Xie Chiyuan's face and neck this time.
If Big Head didn't always think about cutting off his cubs, he would actually be a good Big Head.
A few minutes later.
Yu An went to do other things, but he still needed to find some food for Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan is a human being, and humans need to eat.
No sooner had Yu An left than Xie Chiyuan, who was lying on the bed half-forced to recuperate from his injuries, twitched his eyelids. After a while, a faint sigh drifted through the air.
well.
Are all young people's affections so sincere and passionate?
They say they don't like it, but they'll seize any opportunity to act like scoundrels.
To act like a scoundrel and then rub it into the wound—you must be feeling sorry for the person who hurt you.
Xie Chiyuan slowly turned over, thinking to himself, "He really is a child."
Not far away, Yu An was searching the house for food. Usually, empty houses like this had been ransacked and no food was left behind.
I searched for ages with great difficulty.
Yu An found a packet of instant noodles that had expired a month ago.
He sniffed it cautiously; it didn't smell bad, so it should be edible.
Besides instant noodles, there were also several bags of spicy strips at the very bottom of the wardrobe. The spicy strips looked oily and tempting.
After collecting all the supplies they found, Yu An noticed that Xie Chiyuan was still unconscious, so she didn't rush to give him any food.
There is water in the house, so you can take a simple shower.
After taking a shower, Yu An crawled to Xie Chiyuan's side, smelled his fragrant head up close, and fell asleep.
Time passed little by little.
The intact wall clock ticked softly. Yu An woke up abruptly, and his calf twitched twice after he woke up.
"hiss--"
Xie Chiyuan, who had been kicked, raised his leg to press him down.
Unable to move, Yu An slowly opened her eyes, rubbed them, and grumbled sleepily, "I'm still sleepy, why won't you let me sleep!"
Xie Chiyuan: "..."
When did he stop me from sleeping?
Morning grumpiness comes and goes quickly. Before long, Yu An, her mind clearing, sat on the bed, paused for a moment, and then obediently got out.
He brought Xie Chiyuan instant noodles, spicy snacks, and water.
"For you."
After Yu An finished speaking, he added, "I've already eaten."
Xie Chiyuan looked up at him.
Feeling guilty under her gaze, Yu An looked away and protested, "I didn't mean to get angry at you, I was just sleepy."
Xie Chiyuan raised an eyebrow and let the matter drop.
It turns out that instant noodles that are a month past their expiration date won't kill you.
Xie Chiyuan, however, didn't touch the spicy strips. He finished his instant noodles and water, watching Yu An eat the spicy strips.
After the two finished resting, it was still light outside.
Xie Chiyuan also figured out the pattern, knowing that it was easier to get things done during the day than at night.
Yu An carefully wrapped up the unfinished spicy strips and put them into the lizard skin pouch. He had reorganized the pouch in the house, and now it finally looked a little better to carry.
