Chapter 156: Extra one
The first time Gong Xiao met Qin Yi was during the primary mission.
At that time, thanks to his random skill being Freeze, in this arid world with extreme water shortage, he could live a clean and leisurely life.
On this day, after receiving the mission prompt from the security area, he walked towards the destination while looking for available vehicles. When he came to the corner of a building, he saw Qin Yi walking out of the house on the left.
Her short hair was messy, her face was covered with dirt and blood, and she looked very embarrassed.
Gong Xiao paused and saw that she was looking around cautiously, then quickly ran to a car that hit the newsstand.
She is very small and thin, but her movements are very fast - this made Gong Xiao suddenly think of the dirty stray cat he once brought home.
He couldn't help laughing, and when he saw her getting into the carriage from a distance, he lifted his foot and continued to walk along the road.
As he passed the car, he stopped curiously and glanced into the carriage.
The messy hair somewhat covered her eyes, but her extremely alert look, coupled with her dirty appearance, really looked like a little cat who was wary of humans.
Gong Xiao smiled and rolled his eyes, quickly retracted his gaze, and walked away.
For him, this meeting was nothing more than a trivial matter.
When I saw her again, the safe zone had already appeared.
Gong Xiao didn't go in, he knew what would happen there. Since he could wait outside, he didn't think it was necessary to go in and fight those players now.
The most convenient point is that the safe area is surrounded by transparent light curtains. Even if he is outside, he can see the situation in the safe area.
So he saw her again soon, and when she stood with those tall men, her thin body was very conspicuous.
Gong Xiao hid in the building outside the safe zone, through the glass window, thinking with interest, someone as weak as her should die in the next fight, right?
However, why did the man who came with her seem to be afraid of her?
About five days after the safe zone appeared, Gong Xiao discovered that something happened in the safe zone.
He saw the man with her bring out some food, sparking a looting. At this moment, the thin little woman actually took out her gun.
She seemed to be very calm, holding a gun and saying something, she actually forced back so many people who were looting food.
Then, something else happened. All the players stood up and seemed to be planning to attack a long-haired woman and the little girl behind her.
The little girl rushed out from behind the woman, and after saying a few words, she pointed her finger at her.
Gong Xiao narrowed his eyes, feeling that he was about to see a good show.
She's probably going to die soon. This world is indeed not suitable for a weak person like her. What if there are guns, those players all have skills.
Despite the distance, Gong Xiao could sense the maliciousness of those players towards her, and he thought she must be very scared now.
In the next moment, will she be so afraid that she will cry?
Gong Xiao thought about it very leisurely, and looked at the other side lightly, but saw a scene that made him unable to help but be surprised——
Is she so relaxed?
Not only did she not cry, but she slowly shook the gun in her hand, seemed to say something very calmly, and even seemed to show a little smile.
Then, the two men beside her also began to speak, and one of them, a somewhat familiar strong man, pointed at the players one by one, and kept talking.
Soon, those eager players suddenly moved.
But... why wasn't she the target of their attack?
It's really fun. Gong Xiao laughed, pulled a chair over, and sat in front of the window very leisurely watching the chaotic scene below.
After he saw a melee, the remaining players lifted the injured players up and used those people to feed the white mist leading to the second floor, and the screams could be heard even by him.
But how could she be so calm? Isn't she afraid?
Maybe he saw it wrong from the beginning, she was not a thin and helpless stray cat.
No, not maybe, he must have read it wrong.
Gong Xiao looked at the situation in the safe area below, stood up, turned and walked downstairs quickly.
He saw that the white fog had disappeared, and the situation on the second floor also made him see clearly. The players rushed to the second floor and grabbed weapons on the platform in the center of the second floor.
And five people, including her, are also discussing how to get up.
When Gong Xiao walked to the bottom of the building, he saw from a distance that the skinny she was standing in front of the other four—
This scene is a bit funny, she is obviously the weakest and most in need of protection, but she is the most standing in front of the four tall companions.
Gong Xiao slowly walked towards the safe area, and saw her resolute and calm expression clearly. That small body seemed to have great strength, she took a breath, and then a thick iron plate like a door appeared in front of her.
What a skill, she seems to be a lucky one.
Gong Xiao went around to the other side of the safe area and stepped into the blue light curtain, but the few people on the opposite side who were going up the stairs and preparing to fight did not notice him.
He didn't go up immediately, he was waiting.
It wasn't until there were only twenty people left, and after the battle stopped, that he walked up the stairs silently, used the freezing skill, and killed a player casually.
It turned out that the familiar player beside her was the one he met in the novice mission, just right.
He walked over and waited with them for the mission to end.
There were fifteen days left, and they didn't fight anymore. Every day apart from chatting, they ate and slept. However, she spoke very little, and almost never said a word of nonsense.
It was probably related to her occupation, which was originally a job that didn't communicate much with others.
Still, he knew from the other two what she had done.
Including the fact that she bit the fish monster's eyes in one bite in the novice mission, it's surprising that she can't see that such a big power is hidden in her thin body.
What he didn't expect was that in the next mission, he would meet her again.
Bulao Town is gloomy, and I don't know when a ghost will pop up. He met her at the town entrance. This time she looked much cleaner. I don't know if that face was scared by the ghost. Always a little unhealthy pale.
It's quite interesting. People who write supernatural novels are also so afraid of ghosts, right?
But... she was quite afraid herself, and she even helped others.
Especially the tall and strong Hu Lai, who looks like a sumo wrestler, but is embarrassed to hide behind her?
Later, everyone became an old man. She almost fell when she got up, Gong Xiao stretched out his hand to help her. She smiled and said, "When you are old, your waist is not good."
Heh, really... Who can laugh at this kind of joke?
The mission of Bulao Town ended abruptly and unexpectedly. Who would have thought that a serious task turned out to be a simple word game in the end?
At the moment when the mission was completed, he suddenly hoped to see her again in the next mission.
But what follows, is not the task, but the so-called leisure world.
When he was caught by Hu Lai and walked into the haunted house together, and then withdrew under Hu Lai's screams, he saw her in the distance at a glance.
I don't know why, but he was a little happy.
Before releasing the high-level task, he had already started to worry about her. He still remembered that when he was on the primary mission, he thought that a thin woman like her was not suitable for living here.
And when it comes to the advanced tasks, at first he is not sure if she is also in the same world as him. Gong Xiao felt that two worlds had already met in a row, so this time they shouldn't meet again, right?
He didn't have much hope, but when he actually met her later, he was obviously a little happy and relieved.
When she asked him if his mission was to destroy the virus, he didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
He subconsciously thought that he had to help her complete the task. If her mission fails, she will surely die. And he is different, he has another way to complete the task, even if he fails, he can survive.
When he was the first to jump into the hole leading to the institute, he saw that she followed.
Without thinking much, he blurted out: "You go up, there is danger below."
She didn't go up, she has never been a person who would hide behind others and rely on others.
In this high-level mission, Gong Xiao got to know her more thoroughly. She is strong, brave, calm and decisive. Even at the last moment of endangering her life, she can make the actions that are most beneficial to her in time.
He could see that she desperately wanted to live.
When only he and she were left to fight against the zombies in that passage, a zombie quickly pounced on her. At that moment, Gong Xiao's palm even sweated. He quickly shot the zombie, and he was relieved.
At the most dangerous time, he couldn't pull away. He could only watch as a zombie bit her neck. Although she raised her arm to protect her neck in time, she was inevitably bitten on her arm.
Gong Xiao's heart sank, a feeling that everything was over filled his heart. He tried his best to kill a zombie on his side, and when he turned his head, he saw that she took a pill with the last bit of consciousness.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was also bitten by one of the remaining zombies because of his distraction.
When he woke up again, before he opened his eyes, he heard someone say a word: "Brother, you were rescued by a girl this time, shouldn't you promise yourself?"
Then Wen Zhong spoke again.
Gong Xiao frowned, and when he opened his eyes, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
But immediately, this unpleasantness was replaced by worry - why are there stab wounds on her hands and chest? And there is such a big hole in the clothes, what if others see it...
He frowned slightly and was about to take out the clothes from the storage ring to give her, but saw that she handed him a packet of hemostatic powder first.
He couldn't help but smiled. He quickly took out a shirt and handed it to her at this time. He wanted to say a few words of concern, but when the words came to his mouth, it became a light sentence: "Take it and cover it."
After a while, she suddenly groaned. Although she was wearing a mask, her eyes didn't look very good, and she seemed to be trying her best to forbear.
Next, even he had symptoms of abdominal pain. Only then did he know that she could really endure the pain that she had just now.
Wen Zhong proposed to let them try another pill. Seeing that she was hesitant and wondering what she was thinking, he wondered if she had not enough pills?
In fact, he didn't have many medicines. He only bought three at the beginning, and now there are two left.
He took one out and told her, "I have five more here. Try one first."
She didn't accept it, but he didn't feel disappointed. If she needed it later, he would definitely give it to her again.
Why do you want to help her so much? At this time, Gong Xiao didn't have a chance to think about this issue carefully.
He was a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while.
However, she also looked so sleepy, Gong Xiao looked at her, and remembered the dozing kitten.
He smiled lowly and said to her, "Go to sleep, I'll watch."
He stood up and moved a bit to drive away the drowsiness that hit him like a wave.
Later, he took advantage of the chaos to kill some players, and collected nine people.
She is very clever, and when confronted with the last difficult mother, she broke the instrument and caused a fire.
However, when he was unable to get away under the attack of those tentacles, he saw that she was injured.
He didn't dare to think too much, and rushed over to save her immediately, although he was injured in the end, but luckily he saved her.
But the brave woman actually said something like "leave me alone and leave quickly".
How could it be possible to leave her alone and go? If he really wanted to do this, he could have killed their hostile players long ago.
He helped her out of the danger zone before the instrument exploded, then turned and killed the unsuspecting tenth.
Yes, he is not a good person, he can even use sneak attacks to perfection.
He just wanted to protect her alone for no reason.
After the high-level task was over, he finally had time to face this matter, and he realized that he might feel differently about her.
When exactly it started, he couldn't say. Probably because she was tempted by her strong and resolute appearance?
But after realizing this, he was only so troubled by it that he minimized the chance to be with her later in the leisure world.
The most entangled problem for him is that they are not ordinary normal people, but gamers who have to enter the dangerous world again and again.
No one knows which mission will become their grave next, how can they still have the qualifications to fall in love?
Before the advanced task, he had been struggling with this problem until the task time was getting closer and closer, and he was crazy to use points to enter the same task with her.
It is a pity that although his last mission did not fail, the points were not enough.
So in the next mission, he started looking for her everywhere since he entered the game. What if they are still on the same mission?
But he didn't find her, but he collected a lot of roses in this world.
Gong Xiao thought, since he can't let it go, let's just do it a little bit, and don't really regret it until she or herself dies.
He wants to collect a lot of flowers, take them out with points, and find a suitable opportunity... tell her.
Fortunately, after the advanced mission was over, she survived intact.
In the leisure world, for three whole months, Gong Xiao hesitated for many times, and every time he didn't say a word, he was so nervous that he retreated.
Next time, next time I must say...
He became a little indecisive, and it was only a few words, but there was no way to get them out of his mouth.
Later, it even developed to the point where she felt nervous as soon as her eyes met.
Later, he finally exchanged enough points for the opportunity to enter the same mission with her.
Because he came in this way, he did not have a separate task. As long as Qin Yi completed the task, he could come back alive and receive the same reward, but if her task failed, he would also suffer the same punishment.
This task is not difficult, even if you are alone, it should not be a big problem. What's more, he is still there.
After entering the mission, he saw her hanging from the opposite window from upstairs. Although she knew that she was not weak, she was inevitably a little worried when she saw her fighting a flying insect at a high altitude.
He couldn't even wait to go downstairs slowly, after solving some monsters, he directly used his skills to jump down from the tall building.
Now, he can finally be alone with her.
His expression was well controlled, I believe she must not have seen how happy he was at this time.
Originally, he wanted to express his love to her at the last moment before entering the ward, but... After he pushed open the door of the ward, he unexpectedly saw her body.
There was a buzzing sound in his head, and he was immediately stunned.
A cold feeling spread from the heart and hit all the limbs.
He was stunned for a while, until the sound of her footsteps came from beside him.
He said with some difficulty: "Don't move."
An impulse made him quickly turn around and walk towards her, before pulling her into his arms without saying a word.
It wasn't to block her sight, he was just afraid that she really turned into a cold corpse, lying there motionless.
He finally really made up his mind, he must, he must seize her when he has the opportunity.
He didn't even bother to think about why her body appeared in the ward. After returning to the waiting area, he sat in front of the screen and kept in touch with her.
After I don't know how many times I contacted, the screen finally lit up.
He was overjoyed, but fortunately he controlled his expression in time, and only smiled and said, "Go over there first, and then we'll see you later."
When he got to the leisure world, he almost ran out of the room and couldn't wait to meet her.
Those confessions replayed in his mind, and he didn't know how many times.
And what he said was actually far less than what he thought.
He obviously found a book about love words in that bookstore, and he carefully memorized a lot of sentences, why didn't he say a single sentence at the critical moment?
So dry, will she refuse?
Gong Xiao could even hear his own heartbeat, as soon as he beat him. He shouted in his heart: Nod your head and say you are willing!
When she really agreed, he was calm on the surface, but in fact he was ecstatic, he couldn't help hugging her again.
He didn't know when he would die, but as long as he had breath, she would definitely not die.
