Wild Journey

Chapter 23 Deadly Change | "Will Bite You"

"Lin Zhiyin... is almost on the top floor."

Feng Yao was the last one, and his physical strength was almost exhausted by climbing the stairs. He leaned against the wall exhaustedly, panting badly, "The straight ladder is rusted and can't work, so I can only climb the stairs. The distance of seven or eight floors... think Stop her, hurry up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiao grabbed his hand, his wrist was lifted, his sleeve slipped off, revealing half of his forearm, with rotten bite marks looming.

Gu Xiao froze for a moment.

Feng Yao didn't hide anymore, he smiled haggardly, and said calmly: "I'm infected, so I won't go up with you, so let's go here."

Mu Han and Si Yuan stopped arguing and looked over in astonishment.

Gu Xiao turned Feng Yao's arm over and looked at his bite wound. The narrow and deep tooth marks were uneven, the tender flesh was turned outward, and the blood that flowed out was jet black, forming ugly lines on the white and thin wrist ,shocking.

"When did it happen?" Gu Xiao's voice sounded unsteady.

Feng Yao shook his head: "Give me a grenade, and I'll go to the rear of the palace."

Feng Yao knew that Gu Xiao was used to putting grenades on his waist, so he simply took it on his own. The moment they leaned over, they seemed to be hugging, and their breaths blended with each other. Feng Yao had a subtle idea—he felt that this deja vu.

This is not the first time.

It seems that when getting along with Gu Xiao, he always feels familiar.

Feng Yao was briefly distracted, but without thinking too much, he took off the grenade and went to unload his backpack, but Gu Xiao held him so tightly that he couldn't pull out his hand at all, Feng Yao raised his eyes Looking at Gu Xiao, he paused.

He saw that Gu Xiao was in a daze, and there was a dark welling in his eyes.

It seems to be reluctant, but it is far more than that.

Feng Yao didn't quite understand it, but he knew that Gu Xiao must have regarded him as a friend he cared about very much, and it was hard for him to accept his death.Feng Yao smiled slightly, as if touched, he gently hugged Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao's body froze obviously.

And the next second, Feng Yao retreated calmly, pulled out his hand, and pushed the backpack into Gu Xiao's arms: "There are iron hooks and ropes in the bag, you can use them when you leave...don't be in a daze, don't go up anymore It's too late."

Si Yuan dissuaded him: "Yaoyao, don't be in a hurry, DIN1 has a chance of successfully merging, just wait and see, maybe—"

Even if he knew little about DIN1, Feng Yao knew very well that the chances were so slim that he waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to say more, and turned to open the door.The high fever burns people, his heavenly spirit is like a raging fire, making him light-headed and weak all over, and stepping on the floor is like stepping on cotton, so he walked to the door in a daze, before touching the doorknob, He was grabbed by the shoulders, and then, a strong arm wrapped around his waist, holding him firmly.

His back collided with his solid chest, which almost knocked away all of Feng Yao's consciousness. He fell unbalanced into the arms of the person behind him. The last thing he saw before fainting was Gu Xiao's beautiful side face, and a corner of his eyes. Indescribably heavy.

No one spoke, and in the suffocating silence, Gu Xiao hugged Feng Yao and knelt down slowly on the ground.

Mu Han didn't say anything, because he knew very well that the matter had come to an end, and it was useless to say anything. Si Yuan had just arrived and didn't know about Gu Xiao and Feng Yao's affairs, so he kindly reminded him: "He... may turn into a dead body at any time. .”

Gu Xiao asked: "You just said that the fusion is successful, what are the chances?"

Si Yuan hummed: "Less than one ten-thousandth, I have never seen a case."

Gu Xiao was silent for a moment, then asked awkwardly: "Is there no other way?"

Si Yuan shook his head slightly and turned his face away.

Dead silence spread again, and the air was full of despair. After a while, Gu Xiao said softly with a hoarse voice, "Go up first."

Gu Xiao took off the bullets from his waist, and threw them together with the submachine gun and Feng Yao's backpack to Mu Han. He only kept the pistol, which was empty. He refilled two bullets in it, and the magazine was empty. Gave it to Mu Han.

Mu Han didn't answer, and asked Gu Xiao, "Have you thought about it?"

Gu Xiao replied with silence.

Mu Han seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated in the end. He nodded knowingly, packed up his equipment, and when he got up, he slapped Gu Xiao as usual, but when he closed his hands together, he used Unprecedented strength.

"Let's go." Mu Han patted Si Yuan, then pointed to Gao Yue who was on the other side.

Gao Yue knew how to keep up, and when he left, he took a few more glances at Feng Yao and Gu Xiao.

Feng Yao had a chaotic dream.

The scene in the dream was silent, like a black-and-white mime, he shuttled through the research institute, from his room, to the study, to the laboratory, passing familiar scenes one by one, and the long corridor seemed endless.

He leaned halfway through the half-open door, and met the boy on the operating table. The boy narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at him curiously. Everything in the dream was blurry, but the boy's eyes were bright. And clear.

That is a pair of very beautiful peach eyes.

The young man's pupils were dark, and the light in his pupils flowed, like a star that would not go out in the long night, lighting up Feng Yao's dreamland.

In the empty corridor, Feng Yao looked up at the young man.

The young man squatted down and looked at Feng Yao at the same level.

He heard the boy ask, "What's your name?"

He heard himself say, "Feng Yao."

The darkness turned into tides, submerging Feng Yao, everything became chaotic, and amidst the ups and downs, he heard a heartbeat that was close at hand.

It should have been a completely silent night, fingers gently rubbed his eyes for him, he lay on his warm chest, listening to the clearly identifiable heartbeat, every beat that accelerated abnormally was a wordless confession.

Suddenly there was a flash of light, and the young man in a white coat stopped in front of Feng Yao, with a familiar smile on his handsome face, he touched Feng Yao's head, and said softly: "In this research institute, only you and me, called 'people'."

Then the dream began to get out of control, and the screen suddenly flickered with horrifying blood, corpses covered with white cloth, complex and terrifying virus forms, people on the research table with catheters, and bizarre scenes flashed convulsively.

The light disappeared, and he fell into bottomless darkness.

"let me out."

"Please, let me out..."

The darkness was soundless, casting on the surrounding walls, spreading and spreading, making Feng Yao unable to breathe. He felt anxiety and uneasiness for no reason, as if someone had tightly grasped his internal organs. That feeling made him restless, even almost dying, he slammed on the door vigorously, but the only response to him was the slamming sound of the door echoing in the empty and claustrophobic room.

bang bang bang-

boom--

"……let me out."

"let me out!"

boom--

Suddenly woke up.

Feng Yao opened his eyes, as if he had just been fished out of the water, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, his heart was beating like a beating drum, his fast and weak pulse made him feel cold, he trembled, and immediately fell into the She hugged her warmly, and the bones of her ribcage groaned softly against her ears, and Gu Xiao's voice came from above her head: "Are you awake?"

Gu Xiao's body temperature is always on the high side, and the heat that comes from hugging makes Feng Yao greedy. He was tortured by the illness and lost his mind, almost following instinct, hugged Gu Xiao tightly, and whispered: "... .”

Gu Xiao took off his coat, wrapped it around Feng Yao's body, then wrapped his arms around Feng Yao's back, embraced him in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Is it better?"

Feng Yao hummed inaudibly, and leaned against Gu Xiao's heart, listening to his steady heartbeat, he gradually recovered from the grotesque and difficult nightmare.

The scenery in front of them was vast and far away. They sat on the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if they were at a height of [-] meters, above the clouds. Feng Yao's eyes were half-closed. Won't you go?"

As usual, Gu Xiao rubbed Feng Yao's eyes lightly, patiently wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and said softly, "Well, don't go."

Feng Yao's pupils were in an unhealthy divergent state, and the originally clear and bright pupils had become dim and cloudy. He said slowly: "You go, I will become a zombie, it will rot, and it will grow cysts... drooling , cough...will be delirious, just want to eat people, I will...will bite you..."

Gu Xiao: "Stop talking, Feng Yao."

Feng Yao's volume became lower and lower, and he turned into ramblings as he spoke. His eyes were blurred, he looked at Gu Xiao, and asked in a low voice: "...Why don't you leave?"

Gu Xiao didn't speak, his eyes were already red.

Intense drowsiness seeped into every nerve of Feng Yao, almost causing his brain to go on strike. He stared into Gu Xiao's eyes in a half-dream and half-awake state, and vaguely saw many strange meanings, such as sadness, grief, and sorrow. It was too heavy for them who had been here for more than a month, but unexpectedly, Feng Yao didn't feel any resistance, but felt very natural.

Feng Yao experienced a feeling called long-lost in Gu Xiao.

Why is this happening?

Who the hell is Gu Xiao?Or is it just his illusion?

But at this moment, Feng Yao's brain does not allow Feng Yao to think for too long, his consciousness becomes more and more confused, and then diverges, Feng Yao can't help but close his eyes, he sees Gu Xiao talking in a haze, but he can't hear Gu Xiao clearly what.

A sudden severe pain came from his throat, which dragged Feng Yao out of his drowsiness. He gasped for a few times, and began to cough violently. He coughed until his heart was piercing, and he vomited a large mouthful of black blood, which splashed on him and his body. Gu Xiao's body.

The lung cavity is like a scrapped old bellows, constantly emitting muffled and dull breath sounds, Feng Yao nearly loses his voice, and can't open his eyes, in a daze, he feels Gu Xiao lowering his head, and the high bridge of his nose is pressing against his side face, and then, he heard cries of pain and despair, extremely depressed.

The profile of his face gradually became moist, and Feng Yao felt inexplicable sorrow in his heart.

Why cry?

Don't cry, you go, before I turn into a zombie.

...I don't want to drag you down.

But Feng Yao couldn't say anything, he looked into Gu Xiao's eyes, and felt that everything was so familiar.The consciousness when he was on the verge of death began to develop without bounds, like a torrent passing through the border, which washed away Feng Yao's last rationality. In a trance, the reality and the dream just now were intertwined, causing him to have unreal hallucinations. He couldn't help raising his hand, Touched Gu Xiao's brow bone.

Gu Xiao held Feng Yao's hand, kissed his eyes, his lips trembled uncontrollably, cruising downward, and finally stopped between his blood-stained lips.

In this light kiss, Feng Yao completely lost consciousness.
