After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away - Chapter 31

    Smoke of black smoke came out of the aircraft, the red-haired man slammed on the accelerator, flew quickly into an abandoned mine, and remotely opened the gate of the underground base, before the aircraft was completely damaged rushed in.

    As soon as they landed, all the dials in the aircraft immediately went out and could not function. The red-haired man propped his elbows on the operating table and pressed his forehead in silence for a long time. Finally, after the last loud noise came from behind, he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

    “Get out of here.”

    “…”

    The white-haired angel who melted the metal wall of the aircraft with a single blow was silent for a moment, finally extinguished the light on his fingertips, and pushed the only unharmed water tank to get off the aircraft. Before leaving, he whispered Said “sorry”.

    Huo Wuling tilted her head, chuckled, and finally took away the evil spirits flying around, put her hands in her trouser pockets, and jumped down, leaving only red hair behind The man sat alone, turned his head stiffly after a while, and saw the almost completely destroyed aircraft, and almost passed out.

    Jining sat in the water tank, and when he got out of the aircraft, he saw this carefully transformed underground base. This mountain was originally a mine for mining energy stones. Second, after taking over at a low price, it was extensively remodeled, and it was also the main activity place for him and Alke in the early stage.

    The second male does not pay attention to the appearance, which makes the decoration here look outdated, but after reading the original book, Ji Ning knows that the transformation here is very sophisticated and sturdy, the safety factor is very high, and it is equipped with various latest weapons. And the machinery, he spent a lot of money to smash it out.

    And the aircraft, the quality is also the top, and it was ruined by Arke and Huo Wuling…

    Looking at the red-haired man who stumbled down, Ji Ning spat out a bunch of bubbles in the water tank, and silently said sorry in her heart.

    As soon as the red-haired man walked down, he squatted on the ground with his head on his head. He was obviously hit hard. He couldn’t blame him. He thought that he had invested so much capital in this business. You can make a lot of money, but not only did the loot burn up, but even the aircraft was destroyed…

    “Fergie.”

    Alke walked in front of him, the red-haired man looked up at him haggard, and heard the other person say.

    “I want him.”

    Alke pointed to the mermaid in the tank.

    The red-haired man almost spurted blood when he heard it, although he had a very bad premonition when Alke proposed to Huo Wuling to buy a mermaid, but now that he heard Alke He personally said that he wanted to raise a mermaid, but he still couldn’t bear the blow for a while.

    “Are you crazy?”

    He exclaimed incredulously: “Do you know how much it costs to raise a mermaid?”

    As an experienced mercenary, in fact, the red-haired man is not short of money, and can even be called a rich man. A lot of the money he earns has been invested in the stocks of genetic modification companies. The value has doubled more than ten times, but it is so, but it is not enough to see in front of a black hole that swallows money like a mermaid.

    If nothing else, the mermaid’s exacting demands on water quality are enough to hollow out his family.

    Raising mermaids requires a large amount of purified water to be replaced every day. In the end times when resources are scarce, this quality of water is extremely expensive, almost equal to the value of energy stones.

    In fact, since he found Alke, if he hadn’t withdrawn some of his stocks, the red-haired man would have gone bankrupt long ago.

    Alke suffered a fatal injury at the beginning. Even if it can slowly repair itself, it needs many rare drugs as an aid. These are bought for him by the red-haired man with his back molars. .

    But Ark is a powerful bionic man. Since he has him as a partner, the tasks the red-haired man receives have become more and more advanced. What will the merman get in return? In reality, there is no such thing as immortality by eating merman meat.

    The red-haired man’s face was unpredictable, and he was thinking about how to reject this proposal, and Alke spoke again.

    “I want to keep him, if not, I will take him away.” The white-haired angel bowed to his companion, then turned and walked towards the merman, “Thank you, Fergie, This time has caused you trouble, and I will slowly pay you back the money I owe you.”

    “No no, I haven’t said anything, you can raise mermaids, I won’t stop you.”

    The red-haired man panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped him. Shit, how could he let Alke leave, to know that this guy will definitely make him hundreds of times more money in the future, where can he find another guy who can fight and cheat like this.

    Alke stopped and looked back at him: “You agree?”

    “Of course, I’m not a stingy person.”

     The water will be changed for him in an hour.”

    “Good.”

    Alke nodded, went to the bedroom to change into a clean suit, and quickly left the base.

    Seeing him go out, the red-haired man let out a long sigh, carried his tools listlessly, and came to the nearly scrapped aircraft to see if there were any parts that could be disassembled. Jining said.

    “Little Mermaid, welcome to join us.”

    “I listened to you discussing for so long,” Huo Wuling raised his eyebrows and said, “Have you asked my opinion? I allow you to raise Ningning?”

    Why ask you? You are not the master of the mermaid.

    The red-haired man secretly slandered, but he didn’t dare to say anything on the face, he laughed dryly, and said: “This question, you can wait for Alke to discuss it with him after he returns.” After that, he said again. Quickly added, “Discuss on the ground, don’t say it here.”

    “Actually, you can tell Alke that he doesn’t have to worry about me.”

    Jining ignored Huo Wuling’s cold eyes and said to the man, “I won’t stay here for a long time, and I don’t have to prepare anything for me.”

    “What do you mean?” The man raised his head in surprise.

    “It can be understood that my genes are unstable.” Ji Ning thought for a while and replied, “I’m not a purebred mermaid. Most of the time, I’m actually in a human state. It’s time to leave.”

    “Aren’t you a purebred merman?”

    The red-haired man stood up suddenly, his expression distorted in an instant-then he paid such a huge price, what was he for in the end?

    He stared at the beautiful and gentle mermaid in the water tank, eager to sell him now, before he returns to a human state.

    But he also knew that Alke would never agree, and even if the mermaid returned to human form, Alke would not let him go, so that’s a good thing, Raising a human is much easier than raising a merman.

    Thinking of this, the red-haired man’s mood suddenly calmed down, he smiled, and said to Ji Ning quite friendly: “Actually, you don’t have to leave, Ark and I welcome you, as long as you are willing , this is your forever home.”

    Jining smiled and didn’t talk about the issue any further. The red-haired man dismantled the aircraft for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped the movement in his hand, and opened his mouth with curiosity.

    “I don’t know if it’s a bit presumptuous to ask this question. If it’s not convenient to answer, you don’t need to pay attention to me.” He said, “You should know Alke before, you and he are What’s the matter, what is he?”

    “I was in his care.”

    Jining replied in a general way, not revealing the identity of Ark’s “Ark Angel”, revealing it too early will only bring them danger.

    “The only people who can afford mermaids are the top dignitaries in various countries. Ark is still so powerful, then he…” The red-haired man touched his chin with a dirty hand, and suddenly burst out laughing , said, “Could he be the ‘Ark Angel’?”

    Jining didn’t answer, and the man didn’t take it seriously. He was just joking, he didn’t really think that Ark was an “Ark Angel”, like the kind of most terrifying and at the same time in the national war. It is the rarest killing machine, how could it appear on such a desolate planet.

    As for Alke’s name and eye-catching wings, the man didn’t take it seriously.

    Since the “Ark Angel” was born and became a trend in the interstellar, many young people will install wings on themselves when carrying out genetic modification, whether it is suitable or not, and now the streets are full of people called “” Alke” and the man with wings, besides being too handsome, Alke’s appearance is not unusual at all, and there are many more eccentric guys than him.

    But the man did not deny that Alke’s life experience was very mysterious, which made people wonder, he was just about to ask Ji Ning a few more questions, but Alke had already returned with a water tanker, By the way, I bought a lot of fresh ingredients.

    Seeing those ingredients, the red-haired man once again showed a painful expression. He and Alke usually don’t eat so luxuriously, and at a glance, we know that Alke specially prepared it for the mermaid.

    “Don’t know what you like to eat…so bought these.”

    The white-haired angel walked to the water tank and said to Ji Ning seriously, “What do you want to eat, tell me, and I will prepare it for you.”

    “He doesn’t like to eat those things.”

    Before Ji Ning could speak, Huo Wuling, who was leaning on the side, said lightly, “Don’t worry about it.”

    “I can prepare.” Alke emphasized again.

    “He likes braised pork ribs, can you do it?” Huo Wuling asked.

    “Braised pork ribs?” The red-haired man’s expression was blank, “What is this?”

    “Leave him alone.”

    Seeing Alke frowning slightly, he seemed a little distressed. Ji Ning waved his hand quickly and said, “I’m not picky eaters, just eat the same food as you.”

    Huo Wuling glanced at Ji Ning: “You always say things that make me sad.”

    Jining also looked at him: “I don’t seem to have an obligation to make you happy.”

    “You are too ruthless.” Huo Wuling suddenly got into the water tank, and tried to kiss him again.

    I caught a glimpse of the familiar light on Alke’s fingertips, and the red-haired man’s heart suddenly hung up, desperately grabbed his companion’s arm, and pulled him to the kitchen: “Okay, okay Now, let’s prepare dinner quickly, you don’t want your little mermaid to be hungry, do you?”

    Alke’s expression was still serious, staring at Huo Wuling: “I will find out what ‘braised pork ribs’ is.”

    “You study slowly, don’t report to me specially.”

    The black-haired man kissed Ji Ning’s cheek, smiled at him, and spat out two words.

    “Nanny.”

    “…”

    “Alke calm down!”

    …

    “I beg you, both of you.”

    The red-haired man folded his hands and prayed to Huo Wuling and Ark in a low voice: “Please, please don’t fight, even if you really want to fight, please go to the ground to fight, if here It’s all destroyed, and I’m just going to die.”

    “Sorry, Fergie,” Alke said, “I won’t do it again.”

    Huo Wuling hooked the corners of her lips and said with a smile, “But my temper is not very good, so why don’t you kneel down and beg me, maybe I can agree to you reluctantly.”

    “You can stop.” Ji Ning tapped on the glass.

    Huo Wuling raised her eyebrows, and finally said nothing.

    The red-haired man looked rather uneasy, and he left the hall step by step and returned to his bedroom, but opened the door several times to look outside, and finally closed the door completely. .

    Alke also returned to the bedroom, but instead of sleeping there, he took out his quilt and laid it flat beside the water tank, as if planning to sleep here.

    “It’s better not to stay here, right?” Huo Wuling said with a smile, “I don’t sleep well, and I will kill people if I’m not careful. If I find you dead tomorrow morning, Ning Ning It must be my fault.”

    “Then it’s better for you to sleep somewhere else.” Ji Ning said, “I’m afraid you’ll kill me if you’re not careful.”

    “How come.” Huo Wuling said, “I will only accidentally kill the people I hate.”

    Alke was silent, as if he had made up his mind, no matter what Huo Wuling said, he would ignore what Huo Wuling said. , looked at Ji Ning without blinking.

      All imagine.

    The white-haired angel looked at the mermaid in the water, silent for a moment, and said softly.

    “I don’t have any previous memories, but from the first time I saw you, I liked you very much.”

    “Fergie told me, you said I took care of you before, what was our relationship like then?”

    Jining smiled and replied, “It’s almost the same as now, but back then you were a little more cramped when you saw me.”

    …

    As a killing machine that only understands war, when he first faced the mermaid, Ark was very at a loss.

    He had never seen such a weak and beautiful creature, even when the mermaid hooked his neck and gave him a hug, he did not dare to hug him back, afraid that as long as he touched him lightly, The merman, which is as fragile as glass, will be destroyed by him.

    After the mermaid let him go, Alke took a step back. He really didn’t know how to respond to the mermaid. Would you like to say thank you to him?

    “You don’t have to be so formal.”

      Lightly swaying, like a blooming flower, exuding a tempting breath, he stretched out his hands to the inhuman angel.

    “Please try to hug me like I did to you.”

    “…Sorry.” Alke lowered his eyes and said, “I can’t do this, I might hurt you.”

    “It’s okay.” The mermaid said with a smile, “I’m not as fragile as I look on the surface, not to mention it doesn’t matter if you hurt me, you always need to try it for the first time, don’t you?”

    “…”

     , hugging him gently into his arms.

    “Will it hurt?” he asked.

    “Of course not.” The mermaid closed her eyes, leaned against his arms, and said with a smile, “Your hug is very warm, I like it very much.”

    After that, Alke began to carefully raise his own mermaid. He specifically asked the staff of the institute a lot of questions about mermaids, and did everything by himself, whether it was feeding or changing the water , all without the hands of others.

    “You are too nervous for me, honorable ‘Ark Angel’.”

    Looking at the angel who frowned to check the water temperature, the mermaid was lying on the edge of the pool, shaking her tail, and said, “It’s only half a degree from the optimal temperature, I’ll be fine, Within a ten-degree temperature difference, the water temperature is suitable for me.”

    “I don’t want you to get sick.” Alke insisted, he stood in the water, turned the button on the pool wall, adjusted the water temperature to the best temperature, and said seriously.

    “Well, if you insist, I won’t get sick because of this deviation.”

    Seeing that he finally adjusted the water temperature, the mermaid waiting on the shore smiled, propped up his upper body, and stretched out his hands at him: “Please hug me down.”

    Alke grabbed the back of the mermaid and gently held him into the pool. After this period of time, he already knew how to hold the mermaid. At first it was so bewildered.

    “I smell…”

    The mermaid rested on his shoulder and whispered softly: “You have a very light breath on your body, the smell of gunpowder and blood, did you just come back from the battlefield?”

    “Sorry.” Alke pursed his lips, “I know you don’t like the smell, but I thought I cleaned it up. I’ll clean it up again.”

    He was about to get up and go ashore, but the mermaid stopped him and said, “It doesn’t matter, I don’t care about this, I just want to ask, how do you feel about killing? “

    Alke thought for a few seconds and answered truthfully: “I don’t feel it, I’m just completing the task given to me by the council.”

    “It seems that you have no special thoughts about those who died.” The mermaid said, “I want to know, if I die, will your heart hurt?”

    “You won’t die.” Alke held his wrist lightly.

    “Just a hypothesis. Will your heart hurt?”

    “I will be very sad.” Aerke’s icy expression showed a trace of turbulence, similar to a puzzled emotion, “But I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand the usage of ‘heartache’, I thought ‘Heartache’ only occurs in unhealthy situations.”

    “Literally, it means that the heart hurts so much that it feels like it’s being torn apart.”

    The mermaid took Alke’s hand and gently pressed it on his chest.

    Through a thin layer of flesh, Alke could clearly feel that the heart in the chest was beating at a fast speed.

    “I’m so happy because of you, it makes my heart rate go up.”

    The mermaid looked at Alke, the beautiful light-colored pupils seemed to be filled with water, and they were full of Alke.

    “Similarly, once something happens to you, I will be very sad, even in severe pain, unable to breathe, and heart pain. This is ‘heartache’.”

    “Then I don’t want you to suffer for me.” Alke said, “I don’t want you to suffer.”

    “You are very considerate and gentle, honorable ‘Ark Angel’.”

    The mermaid laughed abruptly, hugged the white-haired angel, and her voice was as soft as sweet love words in a dream, but like a magical curse, deeply engraved in his heart. imprint.

    “But I’m a selfish person, and I hope your heart aches for me.”

    “That’s proof of your love for me.”

    “If one day you will hurt my heart, even if you are about to die, I will be very happy.”

    …

    Jining and Alke looked at each other for a few seconds, then smiled suddenly and said, “I’ll sing you a song, it’s your favorite song before, as a gift for you to take care of me.”

    The white-haired angel blinked, nodded quickly, and straightened his upper body, indicating that he should concentrate on listening.

    “You just lie down.” Ji Ning said, “This is a mermaid’s sleep song.”

    So Ark put away his wings and lay on the quilt obediently, Ji Ning opened his lips slightly and sang an ethereal tune.

    Uneasy, gentle and soothing, reminiscent of all the most beautiful and dreamy things.

    After a while, the bedroom door opened a gap, the red-haired man was leaning against the door, his back was leaning against the wall, he folded his arms and closed his eyes quietly listening and enjoying, after a while, he suddenly sighed , whispered with a smile.

    “Raising merman…seems really good.”

    Under the appeasement of the singing, Alke fell into a sleepless sleep, his body was wrapped in wide white wings, vaguely revealing a peaceful sleeping face, as if he was dreaming a beautiful dream .

    The red-haired man also sat on the ground and fell asleep against the wall. Seeing this, Ji Ning stopped his singing and glanced around, only to find that Huo Wuling had disappeared for some time. trace.

    Others?

    Jining murmured something in her heart, but didn’t wait for Huo Wuling to appear, it was already late at night, and he was getting tired, so he stopped looking for Huo Wuling and slept himself. past.

    In the dream, he entered the grocery store again.

      With a melodious female voice, Huo Wuling was behind the counter, stirring the hot coffee in the cup, looking up at Ji Ning with a smile.

    …Why is it here again?

    Jining looked around the grocery store. This was the third time he had come here. If the first two were coincidences, this time it couldn’t be coincidence.

    Is there any important meaning to Huo Wuling?

     Ji Ning is not very clear about this, because Huo Wuling’s past was never explained in the Infinite Flow novel “God Killing”, and after spending three years with him, Huo Wuling He has never mentioned his past, his origin is a mystery to Ji Ning.

    “You’re so nice to him.”

    Huo Wuling took a sip from the coffee cup, smiled and looked at Ji Ning, who was in a human state in the dream, “Why don’t you come and sing me a song? I didn’t know you were so good at it. Sing.”

    “That’s just my bonus when I’m in the form of a mermaid. My real singing level is actually pretty average.”

    Jining resolutely rejected Huo Wuling’s proposal, sat on the sofa beside him, and asked him, “Did you pull me in here?”

    “That’s right.”

    Huo Wuling put down the coffee cup, walked out from behind the counter, sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Ji Ning, put one hand on the back of the sofa, leaned slightly, approached Ji Ning, dark pupils Staring at him for a moment, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips and said with a light smile.

    “It’s just the two of us here.”

    He came close to Ji Ning’s lips and placed a kiss on his lips.

    “What do you say I should do to you?”
