Chapter 21

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

On a quiet night, Jiang Huan put his arms around Jiang Tong with one hand, because he was worried that the child’s thin belly would catch a cold. His warm palm always protected Jiang Tong’s little belly button, while his other hand slowly turned the pages of the book, his gaze silently swept across the rows of fine print on it.

Shen Shanwu was nestling in Jiang Huan’s arms, leaning on a flexible and comfortable human body mat, picking up pen and paper to draw for himself without any trouble. The sound of the signature pen rubbing the paper rustled and the two felt at ease, coupled with the occasional sound of the pages of the book flipping, it was very harmonious.

Whenever he looked at Jiang Huan, the other party seemed to be reading a book without getting tired at all. His inky eyes were calm and profound, and there was no trace of fatigue in them. From time to time, he looked up vigilantly, then looked at what Jiang Tong had painted, and then continued reading.

Illiteracy was fake, but the ugliness of the painting was true. Shen Shanwu painted the green mountains and long green waters on both sides of the river, and a wave-breaking boat on the river. It was meant to suggest that ‘Thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day’. He wanted to please Jiang Huan, so he showed the painting to the person behind him with interest. Jiang Huan looked at it for a long, long time, and finally hesitated and asked, “Did you paint…monkey fishing for the moon?””

Shen Shanwu: “……”

As soon as the pen and paper were put aside, Shen Shanwu closed his eyes angrily.

Keep the vigil by yourself! Your little brother Shanwu will sleep.

Early the next morning.

Shen Shanwu was awakened by something. He felt that something warm was against him near his thigh. It was very uncomfortable. Shen Shanwu subconsciously reached out to touch the warm thing, trying to push it away, but when his fingers were on it, the warm thing trembled.

“…” Shen Shanwu woke up all of a sudden.

The clock hanging on the top of the rest station pointed to five o’clock. The sky outside was not yet bright. The other team members of Shanhai were estimated to be cruising half-dreaming and half-waking, but Shen Shanwu was very awake and stiff. His body, fingers and abdomen were quickly separated from the indescribable object.

Calm down… it’s just a normal physiological phenomenon. Jiang Huan was a 21-year-old normal adult male. What’s wrong with growing early? Facing such pressure, he was a bit suffocated.

After Shen Shanwu had done enough mental construction for himself, he suddenly felt wrong again. It seemed that Jiang Huan’s thigh was next to his ass. What grew on his thigh?

Thinking like this, the unknown object shook again, and the shaking frequency was by no means comparable to that of a human organ. The corner of Shen Shanwu’s mouth collapsed and he pushed Jiang Huan’s lower abdomen with his elbow, “Captain.”

“…hmm?” Jiang Huan opened his eyes, Shen Shanwu deliberately turned his head and blinked, and said in a pure and innocent tone, “Captain, there is something hard on you that is touching my ass. It’s so uncomfortable.”

Jiang Huan: “…”

The lieutenant who just opened the zipper of the sleeping bag in half: “…”

The next second, the lieutenant pulled the zipper back again.

Jiang Huan patted Shen Shanwu on the head, made him wake up and quickly went to the side to cool off, then took out a small black communicator from his leg pocket, entered the password, and three big red letters immediately jumped out on the screen: SOS.

Shen Shanwu put on his shoes and squatted aside to change clothes while watching the content on the communicator screen. Unfortunately, except for the SOS help signal at the beginning, he couldn’t understand the rest of the encrypted content.

A quarter of an hour later, all the team members sat neatly around Jiang Huan, listening carefully to the captain’s speech.

“I received a distress signal from the Bellona team in the northern territory of Anhe,” Jiang Huan smoothly recounted what he received in the communicator. “They are now in a mountainous area 90 kilometers away from us. There are 5 people in total. They encountered two mutant wild geese. The vehicle and all the luggage were controlled by wild ducks, and one of them was seriously injured and two were slightly injured. They were surrounded by about 300 zombies in a two-story farmhouse.”

They understood the difficulty of rescue, and the rest was the reward for rescue. Yao Wuque’s mouth was not mutilated, and the bandages on his body were still yelling in pain. It didn’t matter. The key was how much benefit Bellona would give after the incident.

“How many supplies have been rescued, they are all 37 points with us, we are 7 and they are 3.”Jiang Huan said, “By the way, there are a number of firearms, a number of protective equipment, a number of disinfection equipment in the car, as well as half of the vacuum-packed calves, two chickens, goat milk, three hundred catties of cabbage and…”

The others were a few, dispensable descriptions, and the food was clearly depicted. The attitude of the Shanhai teams was basically the situation of the coastal base. Science, technology, and force were far ahead, but in terms of food reserves, it was slightly inferior to the rich Wuyou city.

“Go ahead!” Zhang Xiaowen’s eyes lit up, Yao Wuque wiped his saliva and nodded wildly. The lieutenant coughed lightly and was trying to stabilize the order. As a result, his stomach pronounced faster than his vocal cords, and a long grunt completely exposed his inner thoughts.

300 zombies was a problem for a fully armed and well-equipped team, but it was only a small problem, and the mutant goose was the big one. This argument did not apply to the mutant Shen Shanwu. Zombies and mutant animals were not a problem for him. He was just thinking about how to persuade Jiang Huan to sit on the ground and take advantage of the commotion to rob, while also getting the reward.

Jiang Huan was also inclined to rescue. The superficial reason was that “one party has difficulties and all parties support building a community of human destiny”, and the internal reason was that “they really give too much.”

Now that the decision was made, Jiang Huan immediately replied to the distress party through a small communicator. The content was very simple: Coastal Shanhai 2h.

From beginning to end, Shen Shanwu watched Jiang Huan send a message curiously. At any rate, he had level 4 English before the end of the world. He hadn’t forgotten it for ten years. Shanhai was the pinyin of Shanhai. 2h was better to understand. 2 hours, it probably means that they will arrive within 2 hours. As for the English at the front…

“Coastal, in English, means a coastal base.” Since Shen Shanwu really wrote curiosity on his face, Jiang Huan couldn’t help but explain out loud, and then he added, “You don’t need to learn, there are not many people left in Europe.”

“…” Recalling the days when he couldn’t bear to memorize words, Shen Shanwu hated it.

Because they all had a good night’s sleep last night, the players were in good and high spirits. Except for Jiang Huan, who was in the back row to make up for his sleep, the rest of them were excited to imagine how they should eat when they got the fat cow.

Shen Shanwu was also very happy. Who was not happy if there was meat to eat? In order not to disturb Jiang Huan’s sleep, he and Yao Wuque sat together, with Zhang Xiaowen and Zhong Yin on both sides. The latter had to squeeze into a car this morning to stay with Yao Wuque. The reason was that he was afraid that he would be in a fight with Jiang Tong again.

“Jiang Tong and I have a good relationship.” Yao Wuque was bold, “Who dares to bully Jiang Tong in the future must step over my corpse first!”

Shen Shanwu, “…thank you?”

Zhang Xiaowen couldn’t help but tease them, “I said, admit it quickly. Wuque and Xiaoyin, what’s the matter with you two? Are you having an affair?”

“Me and her? With her Amazon Plain?” Yao Wuque made an exaggerated expression, “I’m sorry, I only like beautiful sisters with big breasts. She has big and beautiful breasts. She doesn’t take up any at all.”

“Beautiful sister with big breasts.” Zhong Yin said with no expression, “Isn’t it Sister Xiaowen who you’re describing?”

“Yes, I like Sister Xiaowen the most.” Yao Wuque winked, “Consider me?”

“No, no, no.” Xiaowen smiled and said, “I can’t afford it.”

Listening to them teasing each other, Shen Shanwu suddenly became a little curious about Jiang Huan’s emotional history, and then he also asked, “Well, does the captain have anyone he likes? Does anyone like him?”

“Yo, are you curious about your future adoptive mother?” Yao Wuque shook his head and sighed, “It’s a pity, I guess you’ll have a hard time having it.”

“What?” Shen Shanwu frowned strangely, “If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. What do you mean that it’s hard to have it?”

“Is it okay to tell Jiang Tong?” Sister Xiaowen asked. Yao Wuque and Zhong Yin glanced at each other and hesitated one after another. For a long time, the former held his chin and said, “Although everyone knows about this, the captain did not deliberately hide it, but I always think it is better for the captain to explain it personally. We are talking about this weird thing behind his back.”

Zhong Yin nodded in agreement.

Being sold off like this, Shen Shanwu became even more curious. He pursed his lips and patted the table lightly, “It doesn’t matter what you know, tell me quickly.” Xiaowen hurriedly whispered to comfort him, “Why don’t you ask the captain directly later? I think he will tell you 90% of the time.”

They have just got in the car now, and it will take at least an hour and a half to drive to the destination. Shen Shanwu was not so willful that he would wake up Jiang Huan for this kind of thing. He thought for a while and guessed, “Is it that no one likes the captain? Is it?”

“That must not be,” Yao Wuque said with inexplicable pride, “Those who admire our captain can definitely line up all the way from the main entrance of the Shanhai Base to the Yellow Sea.”

“That is, the captain has no one he likes…” Shen Shanwu felt wrong again. Just because he didn’t like anyone at the moment does not mean that he would never, and what Yao Wuque said was, ‘Have a hard time…’

Suddenly, Shen Shanwu remembered Yao Wuque’s previous sentence ‘Curious about the future adoptive mother’, plus ‘Have a hard time’. He suddenly realized, “The captain likes men, doesn’t he? That’s why it’s hard for me to have…that.”

In front of him, the three of them had fun teasing Jiang Tong to guess. Zhang Xiaowen said with joy, “It’s a pity that you guessed wrong. There are many men who like our captain.”

“…” Shen Shanwu curled his lips, “Then it can only be that the captain doesn’t like people.”

The other three looked at each other again, and after a while they nodded thoughtfully, “Maybe, I say, why did the captain have a dog?”

“Stop talking nonsense…but no matter what species the captain likes, he can’t solve that key problem.”

“Tsk, that’s what I said…After all, that key issue is really critical.”

“If the key problem is not solved, it is all in vain to say anything.”

……

Shen Shanwu: “…” The key is the key, you guys are the key!

Shen Shanwu, the only one who didn’t know the captain’s little secret, closed his eyes angrily, and finally waited for an hour and a half. The moment Jiang Huan woke up, he couldn’t wait to rush over, “Captain~”

Jiang Huan was a little dazed by Jiang Tong’s overly enthusiastic attitude, only to hear Jiang Tong ask curiously, “Captain, my brothers and sisters say you don’t like humans and like rìgǒu. What does rìgǒu mean?”

For an instant, Jiang Huan’s extremely cold gaze pierced the chests of Yao Wuque, Zhong Yin, and Zhang Xiaowen like a sharp blade. Yao Wuque hurriedly pleaded in vain, “No, captain, we haven’t said anything about rìgǒu. Jiang Tong made up the word himself!”

“I don’t even know what it means and how can I make it up?!” Shen Shanwu was righteous in his words, and then he grabbed the back of Jiang Huan’s hand in front of his knee, and said timidly, “Looking at the reaction of Brother Wuque, is the rìgǒu a bad word? Then I won’t talk about it in the future.”

Jiang Huan took Shen Shanwu’s hand back, “Good boy.” Then his voice changed, and he said coldly to the other three, “After returning to the coastal base, Zhong Yin and Zhang Xiaowen will go around the training ground for three weeks the next morning, and Yao Wuque for six weeks.”

Yao Wuque screamed, “Captain!!!”

Zhang Xiaowen looked at her good boy Jiang Tong in disbelief, covering her chest and almost weeping in the wind, and was comforted by Zhong Yin.

After exuding the fragrance of tea, Shen Shanwu followed everyone out of the car in a very good mood. Of course, Jiang Huan didn’t really plan to let him do nothing, sit, eat, and wait to die. In this rescue operation, Shen Shanwu was also assigned a task, although it was very simple: Protect yourself and kill a zombie.

For this reason, Shen Shanwu wrapped himself tightly, for fear that the smell of mutants on his body would be too strong, and he would scare the zombies away.

After Xiaowen knew that Jiang Tong was going to go deep into the battlefield this time, she was too worried. She also wrapped clothes on Shen Shanwu’s body, wearing a hood on the mask, a helmet on the outside, and a hood on the top. Shen Shanwu was wrapped like a ball, and it was difficult to draw a knife.

“Xiaowen,” The lieutenant stopped talking, “It’s 35 degrees outside, are you not afraid of Jiang Tong having a heatstroke?”

“…that’s right!” Xiaowen woke up abruptly, “Then let’s make a quick decision.”

Okay, he has to pretend to be hot later… or just pretend to be dizzy? Shen Shanwu felt what life was like, it was just relying on acting.

But he didn’t know that these were just trivial problems compared to the person he was about to meet soon.

Of course, if Shen Shanwu knew in advance that he would take off his mask to drink a glass of cold water, and that person saw his face and called out his name, he wouldn’t be entangled between pretending to be hot or pretending to be dizzy—

He would directly choose to stay in the car and die.
