Millennium: I Love Demon King

When the team that sent out the mission returned to the base, the virus check was relatively simple. As long as they made sure there were no wounds on their bodies, it would be fine. The man checked things out a little faster. When Lin Xin and the others came out, Gu Cheng and the others were already waiting by the door.

"How is he?" Lin Xin seemed to see a few guards nearby making a racket as if trying hard to subdue someone.

"As soon as he entered, he was discovered. He tried to resist and got beaten up by the people inside. " Gu Chen looked in the direction that she was staring at and lightly said.

"He's a poor man, too." Grandpa Liu came over and sighed, "Why do you think he forced himself to come back when he knew that going back to the base would be a dead end? Just like the four points on the information card, if he didn't return, the points would not land on his head. I heard that he and a five year old child are the only ones left at home.

Lin Xin raised her eyebrows as she looked at Old Man Liu and asked curiously, "Where did you hear this news from? I didn't see you chatting with anyone on the way here." "Sure, old man, your ears sure are sharp."

"Is there really a need to ask? We just saw the fight that happened inside. Anyone with eyes and ears can see it."

Liu Sun and his wife told Lin Xin everything from the beginning to the end. That young man was called Sun Yang, and he was originally from Beijing. After the apocalypse, because of the good location, his house was taken by force. Of course the Sun family refused. During the confrontation between the two sides, his parents didn't die in the mouth of a zombie, but they died under the blade of the Dragon Gang. He himself had been beaten half to death and left in the Eight Treasures Mountain, waiting for death. For a long time, no one had seen him again. When he reappeared in their line of sight, there was a small mute around him who was five to six years old. Since then, Sun Yang had temporarily joined other people's team to earn points. Because he was ruthless enough and his asking price was low, the other captains that he was familiar with were rather willing to take him along.

"This young man wants to put his work in the name of the little mute, but the captain of his team won't do it, and they start fighting as soon as things get out of hand. What could that tiny bit of work actually be worth? Those who knew Sun Yang all said that it would be a waste if they gave him his share of the work. That little mute didn't starve to death today, but he would die tomorrow as well. Ah, how pitiful. "What a sin!" Grandma Liu concluded her statement.

Compared to their story, it was obvious that Gu Cheng's' beating up 'was an obvious understatement. Although everyone was sympathetic, no one suggested going to save the mute. They still had something in their hands, but who could guarantee that something would go wrong in the future? Just like this time, Gu Cheng had always been treated by them as a needle that could freeze the seas. How could they have known that this needle would collapse one day? The two families were both old and young, the food in the apocalypse was life-saving. Although they were kind to others, they were cruel to their families. People are selfish, and although they sympathize with this young man, it is only sympathy.

There was no public transportation at the base, so they had to walk home. It was said that public transport bicycles from before the apocalypse had been rented out. Gasoline, as a non-renewable energy source, only gets used less and less, and people who can't afford to drive a car look at these bicycles. Over time, when Gu Cheng and co. entered the Beijing base, there were no longer any bicycles in the rental hall. The people riding on the streets had mostly been repainted, and now, they had all become individual 'private property'.

Fortunately, their residence wasn't too far away from the base's mission hall. Along the way, Gu Cheng and the rest of the team even bumped into members of the Special A Team. Yan Binghui, who was leading them, waved towards Gu Cheng. The other team members behind them all looked at Gu Cheng as if they had seen a ghost.

"Why are they looking like that?" Lin Xin asked curiously.

Ying Zheng walked towards them and explained with a smile, "When they sent out their mission earlier, they were still at Sea Pavilion when you came. Everyone thought that you would not survive being surrounded by so many mutated bats, it was me who forgot to tell them."

As soldiers, they were all rather shrewd. When they came back to their senses, they ignored Gu Cheng's cold expression, hugging each other's shoulders as they acted like brothers with Gu Cheng. Lin Xin saw that Gu Cheng's face was getting worse as he broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly rescued him before he could lose his patience.

"Where did you guys come from?" Relying on his professional sensitivity, Yan Binghui quickly swept his eyes over them.

"In the afternoon, I went to the track to clean up the zombies and complete the base mission." Lin Xin replied.

"With Brother Gu's skills, is there a need to accept this kind of mission? "It's too wasteful. Brother Gu, you really don't want to consider joining our special team. Your work points are much higher than this." Yan Binghui still refused to give up, in an attempt to continue brainwashing Gu Cheng.

"There's no need, we citizens just want to live a peaceful life." "Captain Yan, I won't bother you guys anymore. Come over to our place next time if you're free. You should know the place by now."

Lin Xin was physically and mentally exhausted after finally sending away the overly enthusiastic members of Team A. Although these wild men were cute, they were truly stubborn and difficult to deal with. Given Gu Cheng's current state, how would she dare let him take the risk?

The group finally returned home. The Sun family had added another bucket of water for Lin Xin. She was about to decline, but He Meiwei held her hands and gently laughed, "What's worth this? Why would you push it around like this? We also took a lot of things from you back then, but it's just a bucket of water, don't take it too seriously. "I know you love to be clean, but I can't give you more. Washing is still something you can give me. Just relax and use it. If you don't take it, you won't treat us as your friends."

Lin Xin could only accept it. To be honest, she hadn't washed her hair in the past three days, so her scalp was itchy. In fact, most of it was due to her own psychological effects. She always felt that her hair wasn't clean, so this habit really had to be changed in the future.

When He Meiwei came to deliver the water, Gu Cheng wasn't there. When he came upstairs, Lin Xin was heating up some hot water. He looked at the extra bucket of water and knew that it was the Sun family's good intentions. He did not say much and took over the rest of the task. The two of them busied themselves in the bathroom for a long time. Finally, Lin Xin felt like she was revived.

When they went to sleep that night, Gu Cheng continued to hug Lin Xin as usual. The two of them chatted idly for some time, but soon, the person in their embrace turned silent. Confirming that she had fallen asleep, Gu Cheng gently released her and sat cross-legged on the bed, attempting to search for the remnants of his superpower. Unfortunately, after trying for a long time, he was still unable to find anything.

He could not hide his disappointment as he sat alone in the dark room for a long time. He had a good hand of cards, but in the end, he still ended up like this. Gu Cheng rubbed his face with his palms, silently releasing the weakness that he had concealed in the daytime.
