Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

12 month 21 day.

early.

Su Ming set out again, without any intention of looking for the remains of his acquaintances.

has no meaning?

Anyway, everyone is either an acquaintance or a stranger, either a local or an outsider. This is a nightmare world that literally means what it is.

No. 72 said the temperature today was around - degrees Celsius. It was indeed a bit cold. In such an extreme environment, the bonus of holding a weapon would consume physical strength faster in order to maintain body temperature.

I searched for several rounds.

"Wow—"

The monsters, which are only slightly larger than humans, cannot gain any practical experience.

What about stronger ones?

Not coming out?

"Ula Ula..."

Use the police siren that we found and had No. 72 repair as bait. Something will come, right?

All so hungry.

"Rumble..."

Oh.

More than you thought.

"Pfft-"

what.

It seems that the thing in the fog is a little bit difficult to deal with this time. There is no visibility at all, and it is all white. Even its shadow cannot be caught.

But this movement was bigger than any previous one.

12 month 22 day.

Night.

An Xiaoxi waited for a whole day, and she recited the four notes carefully. She could recite them by heart.

"number 72."

Why is it?

Seeing Su Ming's expression was more serious than any bad news about the future that I had heard before.

Holding a backpack, there was a light green tentacle stained with some liquid. Compared with the previous one, it did not have densely packed fine teeth and barbs, just a tentacle.

"Help me compare this thing... to see if it matches the developer's parameters."

"..."

"Master, compared with the data provided by the developer, the similarity is 99.98%."

"99.98%?"

"...Brother-in-law?"

An Xiaoxi saw clearly that Su Ming's injuries this time were more serious than before, and his ribs were still bleeding.

It flowed down his trouser legs onto the ground, but he seemed not to feel it at all.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

"..."

He followed Su Ming into the bathroom somewhat naturally. Unlike before when he always refused An Xiaoxi's help in undressing, this time Su Ming did not move and let her serve him completely.

"Xiao Xi."

"I'm really tired today and don't want to do anything else. I just bandaged it up, washed it, and went to sleep."

"..."

Even if An Xiaoxi planned to do something to help Su Ming regain his spirits as before, it would be useless.

Are you really tired?

This time... it's really sad, right? Although I don't understand what the tentacle represents, I can see it.

12 month 21 day.

Night.

In the bedroom, on the bed.

An Xiaoxi didn't do anything extra, she just simply hugged Su Ming's neck and felt the breath flow between her breaths.

"You probably don't know."

"..."

"Xia Ye's body is different from that of an ordinary person. It can be understood that... seeing those tentacles, we know that she is still alive, but perhaps she is no longer her."

Some of it is hard to understand, and it feels very dreamy.

Why would the tentacles represent that Xia Ye was still alive, but not her? What was the difference?

"If I am practicing how to become stronger now, my life trajectory will be the same as my future life trajectory."

"As a result... it seems like nothing can be protected."

"Brother-in-law."

"Ok?"

"Go to sleep. Xiaoxi is here."

"..."

"Facial cleanser, I never thought I would give this to a man...brother-in-law, think about it, what you are getting now is the precious and shy first time of a girl."

Is there nothing to protect?

But sometimes, women don’t really want to be protected. Sometimes, they want to protect their loved ones in return, even if it’s just for the psychological comfort that Sese brings.

"Besides, when did my brother-in-law stop protecting anything?"

"You can hear it, right? My heart is beating fast now."

"If you have any questions, just ask Xiaoxi's breasts. Then you will understand."

“…Where does this fallacy come from?”

"I'm thinking about it now. Isn't it good? There are real breasts in front of you, ready to be played with at any time."

"..."

but.

No matter what, it seems that there is no way to completely eliminate it. What should I do? I can't compare with my sisters, so I may not be able to do it at all.

Maybe, I have found my own value.

This world will make my brother-in-law unhappy. My significance is to make him feel better.

Hold me tighter.

Even the strongest people have a weak side. I wish I could feel my body temperature more. I wish I could stop thinking so much. I will prepare breakfast tomorrow and continue to memorize my notes tomorrow... I am not allowed to go out tomorrow. When you encounter sad things, dilute them with happy things.

I have already told No. 72. Allow her to collect and turn on some sex mode. Will this dilute the effect?

Chapter 211 After the End

12 month 21 day.

Su Ming got up very early.

"Clap."

Light a cigarette.

This is the white box I found yesterday. Blueberry mint flavor.

The wounds on the chest, abdomen and ribs have already scabbed over. The physical quality is very different from reality, and after practicing dual cultivation with Xia Ye many times, it is already not bad. Maybe it is the same as what Xia Ye said before, not only the basic strength will be multiplied by a fixed multiple when holding a weapon, but also the body's self-healing speed.

"Master, good morning."

No. 72 is cleaning and wiping the bathtub with a rag.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly wearing a maid outfit?"

Black and white clothes, skirts.

Totally different from a summer night.

If she wore this kind of clothes, she would only look childish and artificial. But No. 72 in front of her was much taller, and with her calm expression, she really looked like a professional maid.

"No. 72 believes that the most suitable job for No. 72 here at the moment is service."

"..."

Not bad either.

"Have you finished copying the notes I mentioned?"

He took the paper handed over by No. 70. There were densely packed formulas. Su Ming could understand what certain symbols represented individually, but he had no idea what they would produce when put together.

But you don't need to understand it, as long as you memorize it word for word.

12 month 21 day.

Around 6 o'clock.

An Xiaoxi also got up and walked out of the room with sleepy eyes.

"Brother-in-law, you got up so early?"

His eyes moved to Su Ming's ribs which were still bandaged, "Are you okay?"

"..."

Su Ming didn't reply, but just waved for her to come over.

"Brother-in-law?"

It wasn't until she was hugged and her baby's canteen was squeezed hard that An Xiaoxi came to her senses.

“It’s a great way to calm people down.”

"..."

An Xiaoxi's body was a little stiff, but she gradually relaxed to adapt to Su Ming's techniques.

Can you really calm down? Do this.

"Okay, you can go wash up and get ready for breakfast."

"..."

It only lasted half a minute, and An Xiaoxi went to the bathroom in a daze.

Her cheeks gradually turned red.

It wasn't all out of shyness, but more of confusion and... joy?

Does this mean that my brother-in-law is not hiding his need for me? Is he really thirsting for me?

what.

So annoying.

Why did I get up before 6 o'clock? I thought that if I got up two hours earlier than before, I would definitely have time to make breakfast.

12 month 21 day.

Around 8 o'clock in the morning.
