Doomsday magician

Chapter 163

Xu Bai had never seen Zhang Yu'er take the initiative before, so he couldn't help being a little excited. He drank the wine in one gulp, and then briefly explained what he had prepared.

Then, he took out the small box containing the diamond ring from his pocket: "Birthday present for you."

Zhang Yuer happily took the box and opened it carefully.Under the illumination of the light, the diamond ring exuded a bright light, which immediately attracted her attention.Although she was mentally prepared before opening the box, when she actually saw the diamond ring, her breath stopped for a moment.

It's not about the diamond ring, but she thought of the significance of Xu Bai giving her the diamond ring.

"We met after the end of the world. You didn't have much to say when I was with me. It was so easy. On this birthday, I want to give you this diamond ring as a marriage proposal. Can you promise me?" ?”

"promise."

Zhang Yu'er nodded heavily, and mist appeared in her eyes again, but Xu Bai quickly wiped it away.

"Let me put it on for you." As he said, Xu Bai gently held up her finger and put the diamond ring on her.At this point, the two of them no longer needed a matchmaker or a wedding banquet, let alone a marriage certificate, but Zhang Yu'er had already made up her mind to stay with Xu Bai for the rest of her life.In the apocalypse, even if you can treat yourself so well, you can't find such a man even with a lantern.

"From today onwards, you are mine..."

Xu Bai hugged the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, feeling very proud.Although it is not the first time for the two of them, in a sense, today is the bridal chamber celebration, one of the four great joys in life.

Xu Bai knew that tonight was destined to be a happy night...

On the first day of December, the sun rarely showed its face in the sky. ,

Although it was only a few hours, and then the clouds re-obscured the sun, it put many survivors in a good mood.Correspondingly, the temperature also rose slightly.Although it is still below zero, it is closer to the normal temperature in previous years.

It's a pity that Xu Bai got up very late and couldn't see the moment when the sun came out.

Because of Zhang Yu'er's deliberate love yesterday, Xu Bai accidentally played too hard with her.Although there is magic and the body is far stronger than ordinary people, but if you do this kind of thing too much, the end is still the same.Zhang Yu'er's body is limp and has no strength at all, and she is still recovering from sleep.Although Xu Bai was better, he also felt a little soreness in his back.

The next time you encounter such a situation, you must pay attention to restraint.

But having said that, with Zhang Yuer's sexy and soft performance last night, normal men can't control it no matter what.Xu Bai thought he was normal, so he had no choice but to be ridiculous.But today when he got up, facing the teasing eyes of his subordinates and even Cen Baobao, Xu Bai couldn't help but blush even though he had a thick skin.

"Captain, our people discovered something."

After satisfying the gossip souls of several people, Xu Bai was going to bring some food back to Zhang Yu'er.But at this moment, Su Xirui from the garrison suddenly found him.

For one of the backbone of the current team, Xu Bai has a good feeling for him.

After being distracted for a while, Xu Bai quickly pulled himself together, looked at Su Xirui and said, "What can happen on such a day?"

Su Xirui said seriously: "When the sky cleared in the morning, I tried to send my men to make routine patrols. When a few people looked down the mountain, they unexpectedly found a figure."

Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Is it because his eyes are dazzled?"

Su Xirui nodded, and said: "I thought so too, but when they stepped down the snow, they found a few messy footprints on the ground. Because there was a little snow yesterday, and there were Gale, if the footprints were from before, they are probably covered up now. Since they are clear, it proves that someone has indeed been here today."

Xu Bai frowned at this news.

He thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that Gu Qingwan's person?"

Su Xirui said uncertainly: "There is no one else in the mountain area within dozens of kilometers near us, so it should be their family. However, if it is Gu Qingwan, there is no reason to send someone to take a look around and leave? Unless... ..."

Xu Bai's expression became serious, and he continued, "Unless you want to do something shameful."

"Maybe." Su Xirui shrugged and said, "I think it should be to observe the fortifications and the positions of several machine gun positions. Of course, I hope I am worrying too much. In addition, I have asked a few people to follow the footprints I went down. But the snow below has hardly melted, and I walked very slowly. If it is really Gu Qingwan, it may take tomorrow to get results."

"well done."

Xu Bai praised, and then motioned him to tell Leopard and Yuliu the news.

If the person who came in the morning was really one of Gu Qingwan's subordinates, then the hidden meaning behind this news would be too great.But if it wasn't for him, would there be other survivors near the villa?
In any case, they have to deal with this matter seriously.

Su Xirui's words made Xu Bai's originally good mood suddenly become preoccupied.He wandered around outside, barely regained his composure, and then returned to the room with his things.At this time, Zhang Yu'er had just woken up.Seeing Xu Bai's thoughtfulness and the caring lunch that Zhang Yu'er brought over, Zhang Yuer only felt that the exhaustion and a little pain in her body disappeared all of a sudden.

For the next time, Xu Bai stayed with Zhang Yu'er in the room.But when it was getting dark, Su Xirui found him again and knocked on his door.

Xu Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that most of the people following him had returned.

He said something to Zhang Yu'er, got up quickly and walked out.To his surprise, not only Su Xirui was there, but Yuliu, Leopard, Lin Peng and Huang Keqin were all around him.

"Captain." Several people greeted him in unison.

Xu Bai waved his hand and said, "Did the person sent out in the morning come back? Let's talk about that first."

Su Xirui nodded, stepped forward and said, "They just came back 10 minutes ago, and I came to you after I asked clearly. After chasing all the way, they confirmed that the person who came to wander down the mountain of our villa was indeed from the Gu Qingguan team ,but……"

Xu Bai was taken aback, and asked, "But what?"

"The opponent's convoy seems to be divided into two parts. One part should still be at the original place, about 70 kilometers away from us. But about six or [-] people formed another part and moved to a place more than ten kilometers away from us. If the weather Well, we may still be able to see where they are from our hilltop."

This unexpected news made Xu Bai ponder for a while, and then asked: "So, that person came out of the new villa?"

Su Xirui nodded and said: "It is precisely because we discovered it in time that the people who followed caught up with the person who came to inquire about the situation near their new villa. That guy also had a high-magnification telescope on him. I thought he was there before What can we see below, it turns out that it is equipped, and we are lucky, that guy came to the villa with Gu Qingwan last time, so the people following him can recognize it."

"understood."

Xu Bai nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the other three: "What do you think about this?"

Huang Keqin was the first to speak: "Be prepared. Although I didn't know that Gu Qingwan before, she left a deep impression on me when she came to visit last time. Although she looks very friendly, I always have a feeling She is not easy to mess with. When facing such a person, it is better to be careful. When dealing with this kind of beautiful snake, one must not let down one's vigilance."

Leopard and Yuliu agreed: "Try to find a way to figure out the relationship between the two parts - is it because of their own internal incompatibility, or is it simply because they have no place to live and are forced to move? Also, is that guy Did you accept Gu Qingwan's order, or was someone else or even himself thinking about it? Only by clarifying these two points can we deal with it calmly."

Xu Bai agreed with the two of them in his heart, but he thought a little more: "I think so too, but we don't have much contact with them, so it might not be easy to find out their internal information, right?"

"It is."

Thinking of the specific difficulty of the operation, several people frowned.

"How about this." Xu Bai pondered for a while, and said: "Find an excuse, such as lack of cold medicine or something, and send someone over there to check the situation in an open and honest manner. Don't ask too explicitly, it's almost enough, don't attract others Too suspicious of us."

"I'll go." Leopard volunteered.

Xu Bai thought about it and agreed.

Leopard is the strongest among ordinary people among them. If an accident really happens, he is the most likely to escape unscathed.Besides, that Gu Qingwan had reached a covenant with him anyway.Although I don't understand what he is thinking, it should not be so quick to tear his face directly.

"You have a problem with that Gu Qingwan, don't you?" Lin Peng suddenly thought of this, and asked, "Let me go."

Leopard realized that he had forgotten the most important thing to him, so he hurriedly said embarrassingly: "Forget it. I will trouble you."

Seeing that the candidate was confirmed, Xu Bai concluded: "From now on, the security of the garrison will return to normal, and we must maintain it even if it snows. We must work harder, and it is best to let the outside be covered with landmines."

After discussing the countermeasures, Lin Peng set off with a few people early the next morning.The target is the new villa more than ten kilometers away. The reason is exactly what Xu Bai said before, the cold medicine is gone.

In such a cold day, it was perfectly normal for someone to catch a cold, and this excuse was perfect.If all goes well, Lin Peng should be able to bring some useful news.However, when he really returned, Xu Bai was surprised to see that there was another person behind him.The man was about 40 years old, and he was wearing a very old down jacket that he got from nowhere.His complexion is dark, and his messy hair is faintly white, making him look a little old.

"he is?"

Xu Bai remembered that he had never seen him before, so he couldn't help but looked at Lin Peng a little strangely. Could it be that this guy just robbed the other party's people directly?
Lin Peng seemed very satisfied with the results of his trip, and said with a smile, "Of course I brought it back from that new villa."

This answer surprised several senior executives of the team, and asked, "No way? Is it really possible to bring a living person out? Don't they care about it?"

Lin Peng gave the man a wink, signaling him to wait where he was, and then entered the room with Xu Bai and the others, and explained the process carefully: "It's a coincidence that I just arrived there and happened to see this man I was scolded. It is said that he suffered from arthritis and rheumatism. He couldn’t help with work and ate too much. Later, before I could find a way to ask about the situation, he took the initiative to find him and said he wanted to join Our team. I think asking other people is asking anyway, so I just didn’t do anything else and brought him here.”

Having said that, he added: "I'm not stupid enough to bring him out in person. He just made an excuse and ran out by himself. In this way, even if they suspect something, it shouldn't be blamed on us." .”
