Chapter 160: Extra Story · The Eighth Mission 4
In this dark sewer, time passes very slowly.
It should have been only two or three hours when Gong Xiao woke up. He opened his eyes and saw Qin Yi's peaceful sleeping face.
Because he was resting on her leg, she kept leaning against the wall, probably because she was too bored to be alone, so she slept against the wall.
Gong Xiao smiled, carefully sat up, gently supported her shoulders, and made her lean on him.
She woke up slightly and asked vaguely, "Is it dark?"
Gong Xiao said softly: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Qin Yi moved, adjusted to a comfortable position, and slept peacefully leaning on his shoulder.
Gong Xiao lowered his head and looked at her for a while, but couldn't help burying his head and kissing her on the forehead, as if he had eaten honey, and even his heart was a little sweeter.
He couldn't help showing a smile, and gently wrapped her hands around her arms, only to feel that even the unpleasant odor around him became less unbearable.
Even in such a world, he was really satisfied to be with her quietly.
But……
Gong Xiao lowered his head, his eyes fell on her eyelashes, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
It's been two years, she should have asked the system long ago, right? After all, no player would be so stupid that he never thought to ask that question for such a long time.
Regarding that matter, what was her choice, he never dared to ask, and he never dared to mention it.
He had also thought about talking to her, but he still couldn't get the words out.
He dared not say that he hoped she would stay, that would be too selfish.
How dangerous and dirty these mission worlds are, how could he say the words to let her stay?
He even thought sometimes that maybe he should persuade her to leave and live a good life in that stable and peaceful world.
Gong Xiao took a deep breath and laughed a little self-deprecatingly.
This kind of precariousness is really annoying.
When Qin Yi woke up, he moved slightly and opened his eyes to meet a pair of eyes with complicated expressions.
She blinked, but when she looked again, she saw that his eyes were full of gentle smiles.
"Aren't you going to sleep for a while?" Gong Xiao stretched out his hand to gather the pieces on her forehead.
Qin Yi shook his head, slightly turned his arms around his waist and hugged him, and said in a low voice, "I had a bad dream, dreaming that I woke up and found myself still in that ward, Now it's all a dream for me."
There was a hint of hesitation in Gong Xiao's eyes, and he was silent for a while, then lowered his head and asked, "If you wake up and find that you are not sick at all, you are a very healthy person, living in a safe world, you will still feel that this is the case. A bad dream?"
Qin Yi heard the words, looked up at him, and asked back, "If it were you, would you be happy if you went back to your original world and found out that all this was fake?"
This is each other's temptation, Gong Xiao is very clear in his heart. He hesitated, not knowing whether to tell the truth or lie.
He wanted to say: without you, what is there to be happy about?
Seeing that he was silent, Qin Yi laughed: "How can there be so many ifs, why do you say these are useless, what time is it, should we prepare to go out?"
As she spoke, she let go of her hands and prepared to stand up.
At this time, Gong Xiao grabbed her wrist. Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to ask, he pulled her into his arms with all his strength.
Her eyes met his serious eyes, and she heard him say, "I won't be happy. Without you, no matter what world is the end."
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "That's right, the love story gets full marks. Then when it's time to choose, don't make a mistake and leave me here alone."
It took a few seconds for Gong Xiao to realize the meaning of her words, and the big stone in her heart that had been sinking for some time suddenly fell to the ground.
He laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, he held her tightly in his arms, wishing he couldn't merge into one.
Qin Yi patted his back lightly and said with a smile, "What are you doing, we can't forget Hu Lai."
When it got dark, they opened the manhole cover and walked towards the zoo during the night.
After only a dozen steps, Gong Xiao keenly noticed several alien creatures appearing in front of him. He pulled Qin Yi to hide in the ruins, and the two quietly watched them drift by slowly like ghosts.
The distance between them and the two is not far, if it is a human being embedded with a chip, it will definitely be discovered by them.
When the alien creatures were gone, the two quietly walked out and continued to walk in the direction of the zoo.
It was very easy to find Hu Lai. They successfully got into the iron fence and walked carefully to the iron cage where Hu Lai was being held.
A human who was curled up in the iron cage next to him woke up and stood up in surprise when he saw Qin Yi and Gong Xiao, but fortunately he controlled himself in time, lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter with you guys? ? Why can you come here?!"
He put his hands on the edge of the iron cage, and his eyes were full of anticipation. Obviously, he really hoped that the two people who appeared in front of him had some kind of magic that could rescue him from this cage.
Gong Xiao looked at him and whispered, "If you want to go out, just stay quiet now."
The man nodded again and again, looking very excited, but soon he was no longer excited.
Gong Xiao used his skills, grabbed two iron bars, bent them with his bare hands, and broke out a big hole that Hu Lai could pass through.
The man was stunned. When Gong Xiao walked over to Jiang Yu and repeated this action, he begged Qin Yi who was standing relatively close: "Are you people with superpowers? Please save me, bring me with you. I'll get out of here!"
He said that he was going to kneel down, and Hu Lai walked out of the iron cage and pulled him up, whispering: "Don't think it's so simple, you'll know it after you see it. I'll remind you first, if you dare to scream later Call out those aliens, and we will definitely kill you first."
Qin Yi's eyesight is very good, she saw the man shed tears, nodded vigorously, and kept saying the words for help.
Yes, living like an animal is indeed a very unacceptable thing for humans who have always been above all things in the past.
After Jiang Yu also got out of the iron cage, the most crucial and difficult part came.
They dared not leave this place, so as not to attract the attention of the alien creatures in the house behind, so even the caesarean section was carried out here.
Gong Xiao took out the dagger from the storage ring with a heavy face, and said to Hu Lai, "We don't have anesthesia or painkillers, you can only endure it by yourself."
Hu Lai was still very hesitant: "I think you should go first. I can't implicate you any more. If I can't hold back and scream, you will also be very dangerous."
Qin Yi said seriously: "If we leave, you will definitely not be able to live. Even if you open your abdomen to get the chip now, it is just a gambling mentality. It is very likely that you will not be able to get the chip in the end, and you will die here.
No matter why you die, we treat you as a good friend, and we will help you fulfill your wish. If you die, we will give up this mission and start over with you. Now, choose for yourself. "
If he doesn't try, he will never be able to get out of this place to complete the task, and if he tries, he may not be alive, and he will even suffer very severe pain.
But at least it has a chance of success.
Hu Lai saw that the two of them were very serious. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded his head: "Then try, find something to block my mouth and tie my hands and feet. But you must promise, If you fail, you have to do your best to complete the task, you have done your best, and there is no need to do more for me, I understand your kindness."
If successful, after this task is completed, he can resurrect his wife and children. So this pain doesn't seem to matter.
Even if he fails...he still has a chance to come back. It's just that he really didn't want to drag the two of them down.
Qin Yi took out the tools from the storage ring, tied Hu Lai's hands behind his back, and tied his feet after he lay down.
At this time, Jiang Yu faced the house, paying attention to the movements of the alien creatures.
Those alien creatures don't need to sleep, but it's too dark outside, so they usually don't come out at night.
Qin Yi kneaded a towel into a ball, first gave Hu Lai two strength pills, and then tightly stuffed the ball into his mouth.
Then he lit a ball of clothes, Gong Xiao put the dagger on the flame, and passed the fire on both sides to sterilize it. After the knife had cooled down slightly, he took a deep breath, lifted Hu Lai's clothes, and placed the tip of the knife against the flame. Accurate to the one-centimeter-long scar.
He said solemnly, "I'm going to do it."
Hu Lai's muscles tightened, and a little response came from his nose.
It wasn't very painful when the tip of the knife pierced into the flesh, but as the blade went deeper, Hu Lai's whole body began to tremble with pain, and the big beads of sweat flowed down like rain.
No one could really feel the level of his pain, but he kept going without making a single sound.
Even if he fainted from the pain and woke up instantly, he still used his last reason to support him.
Qin Yi didn't dare to look at it, but she had to watch, watching Gong Xiao cut a deep mouth a few centimeters long on Hu Lai's stomach, and clearly see the fat layer in the flesh with far better eyesight than ordinary people. .
She endured the discomfort, and while Gong Xiao continued to work, she quickly rubbed the hemostatic powder on Hu Lai's wound to prevent him from losing too much blood.
Gong Xiao's movements were very fast, as if he didn't feel nervous at all. His hands and blade were covered in blood, Qin Yi felt a little dazzled, and didn't dare to look carefully at the movements of his hands.
Hu Lai groaned in a low voice, and his whole body trembled even more. Qin Yi looked at his face worriedly, and saw that his face was whiter than snow, and the pain in his eyes was slowly diminishing.
But this is not a good sign, Qin Yi's heart lifted, but he didn't dare to speak to urge Gong Xiao.
She felt a lot of fine sweat on her back, but she got goosebumps all over her body from the cold. She kept handing over clean towels, taking wet towels full of blood, and handing over new ones.
It seemed like a long time later, she heard Gong Xiao say in a calm voice, "Okay."
