MTL - He Lived Like You-Chapter 18

From start to finish, Shen Shanwu didn't sleep at all. The person watching the night tonight is the deputy team, but in this wilderness, Shen Shanwu can't rest assured that he will be awake alone.

Because he was in Jiang Huan's arms, Shen Shanwu was always in a state of dozing. Around one or two o'clock in the morning, he felt the arms around him tightening and tightening, vaguely He also heard Jiang Huan murmur something, the sound was like a mosquito, almost inaudible.

Shen Shanwu has no hobby of listening to people talking in his sleep, and now he is focusing on the outside of the temple—

It was too quiet, terribly quiet, the rain had completely stopped half an hour ago, and what followed was a dead silence.

It was as if this small temple was isolated from the whole world, isolated in a pure white and silent space.

Case.

But if the mutant's ears can't hear anything, it's very abnormal.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Shen Shanwu decided that he had to go out and have a look. He slowly raised his head from Jiang Huan's arms and touched the belly that was holding him from behind. hand.

Jiang Huan woke up instantly, "What's wrong?"

"...I want to go to the toilet." Shen Shanwu only found out the reason for going to the toilet after he finished speaking.

The deputy team also noticed the movement of the two, Jiang Huan made a soothing gesture towards him, got up first, then pulled Shen Shanwu up from the ground and put a helmet on him, "I will accompany him. You go."

Shen Shanwu couldn't refuse, he nodded, and even took the initiative to take Jiang Huan's hand and hurried out. At this time, Jiang Huan was thoughtful. He held down Shen Shanwu, bent down and took out a tube of radiation protection cream from the outer pocket of the backpack beside Xiaowen, "Apply it."

"Ah?" Shen Shanwu looked at his face with a mask, hood, helmet, and gloves, and said embarrassingly: "No need, I'm young, very Soon."

I didn't expect Jiang Huan to use his index finger to draw a circle below Shen Shanwu's waist, "The skin will be exposed, remember to apply it before and after."

Shen Shanwu: "…"

Jiang Huan sent the anti-radiation cream forward again, urging: "Hurry up."

"..." Shen Shanwu took off his gloves with humiliation, squeezed a little into the palm of his hand, then pulled open the waistband of his trousers and put his hand in and smeared it, then gave Jiang Huan an angry look, "Okay. Bar?"

Jiang Huan felt a little helpless for the child's rebelliousness and disobedience: "I'm doing it for your own good."

"I know, but I just like to make trouble out of nowhere." Shen Shanwu raised his eyebrows, unable to hide the arrogance and arrogance in his words. If Yao Wuque was here, he would definitely not want to beat him, but Jiang Huan, as the leader of the team, had a stable personality and didn't care about little kids. Holding the lamp in one hand and Shen Shanwu's hand in the other, he led people around the back of the lonely temple, picked a hill with lush vegetation, and said, "Just here."

Shen Shanwu didn't take off his pants immediately, he never left the wall outside this ruined temple from the beginning, every corner of the wall was covered with green creepers from front to back , The lush branches are dense, the tips of the leaves are all facing down, and the leaves are neatly arranged in layers, like a thick and huge vine gown, which cages the entire temple under his body.

The detectives in the team first reported the existence of ivy, and also suggested that the wall in disrepair might crack and collapse due to too many ivy.

It is normal for abandoned human buildings to be occupied by wild plants, even if there are creepers in the ruined temple, it is not surprising that Shen Shanwu didn't care about these at first, but he is now suspicious of everything If you look at these creeping tigers that are ubiquitous among the rocks and tiles, the more you look at them, the more suspicious you become.

Jiang Huan followed Shen Shanwu's line of sight to the wall, he raised the night light, apparently misunderstood the reason why the other party's eyes stayed for a long time, "This plant is called creeper, it is warm and cold resistant , the vitality is very tenacious.”

"..." Shen Shanwu took two steps forward in silence, he was the one who was in a hurry to go to the toilet earlier, and he was the one who was still puzzled by his pants when he got there. Jiang Huan faced the wall, not noticing the flash of red light in the eyes of the people behind him. Suddenly, Shen Shanwu asked, "Climbing Tiger... Are there any flowers?"

"Yes." Jiang Huan answered quickly, he looked at Shen Shanwu again, the other's eyes were not a bit strange, he just stared at the wall of the small temple without blinking.

Shen Shanwu stood a little closer to Jiang Huan, "...Is it that big?"

"Huh?" Jiang Huan frowned, he followed Shen Shanwu's line of sight to the side and back of him, and in the dark corner close to the ground, there were actually two full blooms. The core of the yellow flower the size of a basketball was facing the direction of the two of them. At first glance, there was an illusion of green vines with two eyes staring straight at them.

Or maybe it's not an illusion at all.

Suddenly, the third 'eye' drilled out of the ivy's leaves. It stretched its delicate petals against the wind, and slowly lowered the center of the flower, just like a drooping eyeball, aimed directly at Two uninvited guests.

"No..." Jiang Huan lowered his voice, he slowly grabbed Shen Shanwu's arm, "This is not a creeper flower, there is something wrong with this plant."

The people around him didn't reply to him, but there was a hand tightly grasping his wrist. Shen Shanwu was like a child who was frightened and lost his voice, and couldn't help but seek the protection of adults.

But in fact Shen Shanwu was thinking about how he should protect Jiang Huan without revealing his identity if the mutant creeping tiger suddenly attacked.

The thing that mutants hate the most: mutant plants.

, detoured early in the morning;

The same is true for mutant animals, even more sensitive to smell and better skills, and to run faster.

The weak point of mutant plants is their roots and stems. If you want to lift their ashes, you have to dig the soil first. Lazy mutants are really annoying about this.

"Don't make a sound." Jiang Huan held Shen Shanwu's hand, he took out the knife in the umbrella around his waist, and said softly, "Hide behind me, don't run around."

"They have to come out quickly, the house is very dangerous." Shen Shanwu raised his head, his voice was so calm that he didn't look like a child at all.

Jiang Huan had no choice but to let go of the hand he shook with Shen Shanwu, he clicked the communication button and lowered his voice: "Deputy team, wake up everyone carefully, after waking up, be sure to keep Be quiet and leave the house one by one in an orderly manner in the shortest possible time."

He only said it once, the action and execution of the Shanhai team never required the captain to repeat the order a second time.

In less than three seconds, the first team member walked outside the house. He had a light source pinned to his chest. Judging from his size, it was Yao Wuque. The other party cautiously held guns in both hands. , looked around outside the house for a week, and found two people standing behind the temple like sculptures.

He remembered the gesture that the deputy team asked to keep quiet, so he just asked Jiang Huan in the distance if he could pass.

Jiang Huan's hand holding the knife slowly hooked, and Yao Wuque immediately walked towards the two of them.

During this period, Shen Shanwu had been observing the movements of the creeping tiger, and when Yao Wuque left the room, he was keenly aware that two more yellow flowers were blooming, this time the direction of the stamens But not towards them, but towards Yao Wuque.

Following Yao Wuque's footsteps, the core also slowly turned the direction, when it was really like a pair of eyes peeping at the prey.

"It noticed." Shen Shanwu said, needless to say, Jiang Huan naturally knew who it was referring to.

Another team member appeared in the field of vision. He turned his face and pointed out the direction to the other teammates behind him, but Shen Shanwu tightened his fingers at this moment and firmly grabbed Jiang Huan's left hand.

The Creeper did not bloom with two yellow flowers like before, it drilled out countless stamens from under the leaves in an instant, and they all bloomed in the blink of an eye, and the walls that were green just a few milliseconds ago instantly turned into golden yellow , Shen Shanwu scolded badly, and Jiang Huan's voice was already ringing in his ears: "Disperse! Pay attention to the creeping tiger!"

Yao Wuque's reaction was swift, before Jiang Huan's voice fell, he jumped and jumped, and instantly left his original position, his body remained in mid-air and did not fall to the ground. With a chilling sound of corrosion, he looked back and saw a turquoise mucus appeared where he had just set foot. The mucus quickly sank into the soil and corroded into a deep pit the size of a human face.

If Yao Wuque's reaction was slower, it was not the pit that disappeared, but his head.

"Fuck me!" He rushed to Jiang Huan's side with lingering fears, and when he turned around, he saw the huge yellow flowers covering all four walls and roofs, dazzling and disgusting. The white stamens were like dense teeth. Open to humans on the ground with malicious intent.

Suddenly, all the flowers quivered their petals at the same time, and at the same time they shuddered, and the whole ruined temple.

The perennial erosion, the mutant creeper has filled every crevice of this temple, and at this time, it will undoubtedly destroy the temple completely.

Several shouts were heard in the distance, Shen Shanwu recognized the voice of Xiaowen, and it seemed that there were still people who stayed in the house and did not have time to escape.

"Oops!" Yao Wuque pulled out his umbrella knife and was about to rush back, but before he could take a step, something was forced into his arms.

Shen Shanwu only felt his eyes flicker, and the whole person was thrown into Yao Wuque's arms by Jiang Huan, and Jiang Huan's cold and tough order came from above his head: "Protect him here."

"Captain!" Of course Yao Wuque was reluctant to sit on the sidelines outside the battlefield and had to take care of a nasty child, but Jiang Huan did not give him a chance to object. It was already five meters away.

Yao Wuque's hand holding the knife was trembling with urgency, and there must be blue veins under the glove, but he couldn't really abandon Jiang Tong, so in the end he could only hold Jiang Tong angrily , keeping him within his protection.

The author has something to say:Creeper: shivering

I'm struggling to read the comments, here's the timeline:

In the first year of the last days, 35 people died; in the third year, 35 mutated and resurrected; in the fourth year, 35 met Huan for the first time; in the fifth and sixth years, Huan followed 35; , no more contact; now is the eleventh year of the end times.

So the ring has always known that 35 is a mutant, and the reason for the misunderstanding of 35's death is not this.
