Chapter 243 Lu Yuan Leaves
Chapter 243 Lu Yuan Leaves
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's voice, Gu Nanfeng clearly felt the vines in front of him retreating to both sides, and then he saw a fireball rushing towards them.
Gu Nanfeng and Lin Yun had no time to dodge and were engulfed by the fireball. However, they did not expect that they would not feel burned by the flames, but instead entered the center of the fireball. In the center was a normal space, where Lu Yuan and Pei Sihao were standing.
Because there were two more people, the fireball became larger due to the increased space in the middle. Ji Lang thought that the fire had set off Lin Yun and Gu Nanfeng, and was just about to try to rescue them when he was pushed hard by the person on his back, and the two of them also entered the fireball.
"Yang Xiao?" Realizing that Yang Xiao might have woken up, Ji Lang hadn't even realized he was in the middle of a fireball before turning around to look at Yang Xiao, who was on his back.
"Stop talking, let's run." Yang Xiao weakly shook his head, signaling them not to waste any more time here.
"Run!" Although their fireballs were getting bigger and bigger, Gu Nanfeng could clearly feel that the flames were getting smaller and smaller.
Without hesitation, the group immediately ran towards the crevice that Ji Lang had discovered earlier. Because of the fireball, the vines receded wherever they went, clearing a path for them. By the time they were out of the vine-covered area, the fireball protecting them had finally extinguished, but almost the entire patch of vines had been ignited by their actions.
Lu Yuan, panting heavily, turned to look at the sea of fire behind him. The burning vines were flapping around, and some even lashed out at them, but were burned to ashes before they reached them.
"Does this count as setting the mountain on fire?" Yang Xiao, who had just gotten off Ji Lang's back, was still a little confused. In fact, he didn't know what had happened. When he woke up, his first instinct was to enter the fireball, which was why he pushed Ji Lang.
"Maybe so." Lu Yuan looked at the raging fire in front of them, then at Yang Xiao, and the two of them couldn't help but laugh. In the end, they laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up and lay back on the thick snow.
Although they couldn't understand what exactly made them laugh so hard, Ji Lang and Lin Yun still managed to smile after surviving the ordeal.
"I'll never make any more promises like that again." Pei Sihao had forgotten when he was held in Gu Nanfeng's arms; he only knew that when he came to his senses, he was already hugging Gu Nanfeng. Recalling the words he had spoken when he went to save Lu Yuan, he felt that he had almost been separated from the person he had admired since childhood forever.
"Don't be afraid. No matter what danger you encounter, I will find a way to save you." Gu Nanfeng tightened his grip on Pei Sihao's arm. He had always been unwilling to face his feelings for Pei Sihao because the two families were too familiar with each other, and he always felt that it was inappropriate. But every time he was separated from Pei Sihao after the apocalypse, he felt inexplicably worried. This time, he was no longer willing to let go.
"Heh." Yang Xiao got up from the snow at some point, moved closer to the two men, and looked at them with a lewd expression.
"What?" Pei Sihao was a little embarrassed, but still glared at Yang Xiao with a stern face. "Hurry up and thank Lao Ji. If he hadn't been carrying you all this time, you would be dead by now."
"I'll repay you with my life!" Yang Xiao said nonchalantly, shouting in Ji Lang's direction, which stunned Ji Lang completely.
They've faced their share of life-or-death situations along the way, but this time, they all seem to understand each other's importance even more.
Lu Yuan and Lin Yun stood to the side watching the four people radiating pink bubbles. He didn't really care, but Lin Yun's eyes always held a hint of regret when he looked at him. After all, Lin Yun had been with them all along, and he had seen how good Gu Nanfeng had been to him in the early days.
"Let's go, it'll be dangerous here once the snow melts." Lu Yuan patted Lin Yun, bringing him back to reality from his mother's reverie about her son.
"It's not safe here, let's go." Lin Yun shouted to the four people beside him. The six of them instantly teleported into the helicopter.
Once on the helicopter, the atmosphere improved considerably, at least it didn't hurt Lu Yuan and Lin Yun, these two single guys.
"Shall we go straight back to the South China base now?" Perhaps it's because he's confirmed his relationship with Ji Lang, but Yang Xiao isn't so opposed to returning to the South China base now.
"Okay, let's take the box back to the base first." Ji Lang was finally relieved to see that Yang Xiao had brought up the South China base so readily. He was worried that if he mentioned going back to the base, Yang Xiao would not want to go back.
“This box is strange. It’s like we’re carrying a lot of danger with it.” Ever since they got the box, Gu Nanfeng has found that they have been attacked by zombies, mutated animals, and plants.
"Take the boxes back to the South China base. I need to go back to G City first." Lu Yuan's voice suddenly rang out as the group discussed their return route.
"Back to G City?" Lin Yun was a little puzzled, but he immediately realized that Lu Yuan was probably still provoked by the fact that Pei Sihao and Gu Nanfeng were together.
"Why do we suddenly have to go back to G City?" Ji Lang was even more confused. "Can't we go together after we get back to the base?"
"I'm not saying this out loud, but it might be more convenient for Lu Xiaoyuan to be alone." After Yang Xiao and Ji Lang confirmed their relationship, he became like a clingy person, always hovering around Ji Lang, and now he was practically leaning half his body on Ji Lang.
“Yang Xiao is right. If I encounter danger, I will hide in the starship.” Lu Yuan nodded, then continued, “My mech needs to defend the country, so I have to go find it.”
"Hmm?" Gu Nanfeng hesitated slightly after hearing Lu Yuan's words, then nodded. "Remember to notify us immediately if you encounter any danger. We will come to your aid after we bring the box back to the base."
After discussing it, Ji Lang and Yang Xiao took the pilot's and co-pilot's seats in the helicopter. If Lu Yuan left, Ji Lang would have to fly the helicopter.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Lu Yuan disappeared from the helicopter. Unlike Gu Nanfeng and the others, Lu Yuan's starship flew towards his original city, G.
"Why do I feel like Lu Xiaoyuan has changed?" After Lu Yuan disappeared, Yang Xiao turned around and looked at Gu Nanfeng and the others. Lin Yun's eyes kept glancing at Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao, but he always felt that Lu Yuan's change was not because of the two of them confirming their relationship.
“I think so too.” Pei Sihao nodded and continued, “He was quite different when he woke up in the pile of vines.”
"Could it be that Lu Yuan has woken up again?" Yang Xiao suddenly realized that this Lu Yuan felt a lot like the Lu Yuan from before, but then he thought about it and realized that when they smiled at each other, it was clearly the Lu Xiao Yuan he knew.
“We never told him that his mecha needs to defend the country.” Gu Nanfeng’s deep voice rang out. These were the words that Lu Yuan asked them to pass on to Lu Yuan, but too many things had happened along the way, and they had no chance to say them. But just now, Lu Yuan himself said that his mecha needed to defend the country.
