Virus Throne

When Xu Youran and others returned to the city wall, the defensive soldiers all looked at them with respect.

No matter what the soldiers are doing, they should stop what they are doing and pay attention.

Xu Youran felt particularly heavy when he saw the defensive line in a mess.

The mutant beast tide can be defeated once, but what about next time?

The mutant beasts under the city wall can be killed, but if the virus is still spreading, the mutant beasts will never become extinct.

As a member of the human race, we know that no eggs are left intact when the nest is overturned.

There is no telling how many such battles are waiting for him in the future.

Although the entire battle did not last too long, for these awakened people, the consumption of mental power was very huge, and the number of casualties among the defending soldiers reached nearly a thousand.

Perhaps this beast wave was caused by the silver-level demon apes that accidentally came here, causing such disastrous consequences.

There may be more, more powerful mutant beasts out there out of sight, ready to move.

Xu Youran, Dongfang Bai, and Dongfang Zhan returned to the previous barracks together. Everyone was in a very low mood for a while, and no one spoke for a long time.

There are spare changes of combat uniforms in the barracks, as well as a separate bathroom.

Dongfang Bai entered the bathroom first to change, and the two men sat there waiting quietly.

For an awakened person like Dongfang Zhan who has always been on the front line against mutant beasts.

Xu Youran is so prone to contracting viruses and is as perverted as drinking water when he breaks through in battle. In fact, he is the same kind of person that he admires very much.

But precisely because they are the same kind of people, he is more aware of the risks involved.

Over the past year, he has seen many people around him die from being infected by the virus, and he has also seen many awakened people die who tried to break through through secondary infection.

He sighed at Xu Youran's calmness and determination in the face of life and death, so he was even more worried about the harm Xu Youran's future life and death might bring to Dongfang Bai.

He knows better than anyone what a powerful awakener means to the Dongfang family and Dongfang Bai in this era.

But an awakened person who may die in battle at any time, or die from the next infection, will cause obvious harm to the Dongfang family and Dongfang Bai.

He was the first to break the silence. "Xu Youran, it's not that I don't think highly of you and Xiaobai. On the contrary, the more I think highly of you, the less I want you to be involved more deeply."

"How do you say this? But first of all, let me make it clear that Dongfang and I are just ordinary classmates. We help each other, or it is more appropriate to say we are comrades-in-arms."

Xu Youran secretly cursed and was also surprised by Dongfang Zhan's attitude.

"Xiaobai's father is my uncle. He is the most talented person in the Dongfang family in recent decades. He has almost defeated all the invincible opponents in Yanjing before he was thirty years old."

Speaking of his uncle, Dongfang Zhan's tone was a bit sad, but also a bit admiring.

"But she never mentioned her mother, could it be her father?" Xu Youran asked tentatively.

"My uncle's name is Dongfang Shengtian. He is a man who can defeat even the sky. He is said to have mastered the sixty-four coffin-cleaving palm skills and swept the contemporary martial arts world. Together with another top young master, Qi Tian, ​​he is known as a man who never sees night."

Xu Youran was also very curious when she heard Dongfang Zhan mention the past of Dongfang Bai's father in his early years.

"My uncle worked for a secret agency in the government department. Unfortunately, he died in a very dangerous mission a few years ago." Dongfang Zhan's tone was full of regret and grief.

"Oh, I asked you why Dongfang never mentioned her father." Xu Youran seemed to realize something, and at the same time, he also thought of his mysteriously missing father. It turned out that everyone had the same problem.

After a while, Dongfang Zhan came back to his senses and continued: "My aunt and Xiaobai depended on each other for life, and they have lived a very hard life these years. It is not the hard work of material life, but the hard work of spirit."

Xu Youran probably understood what Dongfang Zhan meant, "You mean, your family hopes that Dongfang can live a more stable life?"

"Yes, Xiaobai's father died for the country. We are proud of him, but she lost her father after all. If her future husband is also engaged in a high-risk job, and if there is another accident one day, we are afraid that both mother and daughter will die. It’s hard to keep going.”

"So, you would rather she marry a normal person who is well-matched and can bring her a stable life?" Xu Youran has completely understood the Dongfang family's choice. If Dongfang Bai was a member of his family, maybe he would make the same choice.

Sacrificing one's life for the country is great and glorious, but for the orphans of those martyrs, it is a lifetime of pain that cannot be erased.

"Xiao Xu, I feel that you are a person. Although you are a person who may die at any time, don't blame me for speaking bluntly." Dongfang Zhan stared at Xu Youran with a serious expression. "I know Xiaobai. I can see a lot of things from the way she looks at you. I've been there."

"Okay, I understand. Brother Zhan, do you think there will be a stable life in this world now? Is there anyone else who will definitely not die?" Xu Youran interrupted Dongfang Zhan.

Although he was interrupted, Dongfang Zhan was not unhappy, "Maybe you are right, but emotionally, this is the choice and attitude of our Dongfang family. From a warrior's point of view, I appreciate it very much." You dare to fight hard, but we have different stances on Xiaobai's matter."

At this time, there was a "crash", the bathroom door opened, and Dongfang Bai changed and walked out.

"What are you talking about?" Dongfang Bai seemed to be in a better mood.

"Nothing, just talking about awakening skills." Dongfang Zhan looked calm.

"Pah, pah" there was a knock on the door, and a soldier came in and saluted, "Commander Dongfang Zhan, the transport plane carrying supplies has arrived and will be escorted back by fighter jets in half an hour. Please board the plane immediately."

Dongfang Zhan looked at Dongfang Bai, "Let's go, Xiaobai, go back to see your mother. Auntie is very worried about you and always asks your family to call you."

Dongfang Bai was also stunned when she heard that they were about to leave. She looked at Xu Youran, "Youran, come with us. Go to Yanjing, go to my house."

Xu Youran was still thinking about Dongfang Zhan's words. It cannot be denied that from the perspective of the family, the Dongfang family's handling method was not wrong.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Dongfang Bai, "Dongfang, I won't go with you. My home is in Nanjiang. I can't leave so many survivors in my hometown and hide in Yanjing. You go back, your mother must miss you very much."

On one side is the mother who has not seen each other for a long time and depends on each other, and on the other side is Xu Youran who cherishes each other.

Dongfang Bai's heart is full of contradictions and struggles. She knows very well how difficult it is to take a fighter jet back to Yanjing and return to her mother under the current circumstances.

She bit her lips tightly, her sharp eyebrows twisted into a ball, "I'm really worried about you being here alone."

Xu Youran smiled calmly, stretched out her hand and patted Dongfang Bai's shoulder, "Go, say hello to your mother for me. If the situation here improves, I will go to Yanjing to find you."

Dongfang Bai felt a little comforted when he heard him say this, but Dongfang Zhan was a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Let's go, time waits for no one. Aunt will be very happy to know that you are back safely."

"Don't worry, people like me who have been ill for a long time are like cockroaches, and it is difficult to die." Xu Youran comforted Dongfang Bai again, "Let's go, the fighter plane will not wait for you."

Dongfang Bai suddenly tore off a piece of paper quickly, picked up a pen and wrote a line of words "This is my home address, you promised me that you must come to find me and must survive!"

Dongfang Bai took Xu Youran's hand, put the paper in his hand, and then held his hand tightly.

Xu Youran smiled and pulled back his hand, stuffing the paper into his pocket, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

Several people followed the soldier who came to notify them, walked out of the barracks together, and were led by the soldier to a military vehicle in the distance.

Several people were silent because of their own thoughts. Dongfang Bai walked not far in front of Xu Youran.

Soon they arrived next to the military vehicle, and Dongfang Zhan opened the door and got in first.

Dongfang Bai looked at the open door and stood still for a moment.

Suddenly he turned around and hugged Xu Youran tightly, put his head on his shoulder, and said with a choked voice: "You... must come!"

Xu Youran suddenly felt a little sore in his eyes, but still said in a deep voice: "Okay!"

Dongfang Bai hurriedly turned around and jumped onto the military vehicle, and closed the door with a "bang".

Staring straight ahead, he never looked at Xu Youran again.

The military vehicle quickly started and drove towards the military airport. In the back seat, Dongfang Bai covered his face and cried silently, tears slipping from his fingers.

Thinking of the endless sea of ​​mutant beasts, this farewell may be forever.

Xu Youran stood upright with his hands behind his back, watching the military vehicle slowly disappear beyond the searchlight.

He slowly took out the paper, but he didn't even look at it, and tore it into pieces and threw it in the wind.

Thinking of the endless sea of ​​mutant beasts, seeing the dark hometown under the night sky, like a ghost town.

He sent away the budding love and tore up the young heart that was ready to move.

He knew deeply that in this doomsday world, he was struggling to survive and was not worthy of love now.

He couldn't let Dongfang Bai, who had been hurt once, suffer again.

But whose heart has never been soft? For a moment, he wanted to step on the military vehicle and leave with Dongfang Bai.

But he couldn't. His best choice was to stay, use up his vitality to fight, and emit the last light and heat.

Burning himself in the sea of ​​mutant beasts may be his best destination.

Or follow the system's path and walk towards the powerful virus throne, invincible!

Inexplicably, he suddenly remembered an old song from many years ago, the old song his father often sang.

Every time his father hummed that song, his eyes would reveal infinite tenderness and longing.

I sent you away thousands of miles away, you were silent and black and white.

In the silent era, perhaps love should not be too far away.

I sent you away from the end of the world, are you still there?

Where does the sound of the piano come from? Life and death are hard to guess.

Spend a lifetime waiting...
