Subordinate Doting - Chap 13
The two cars turned around and headed towards the valley in the snow and wind.
”Blow up my car first. It’s full of their weapons.” He Zhuo pointed at his Wrangler on the hillside while pouring water into his throat which was about to smoke.
Ji Tingyu immediately asked someone to do it, but his eyes were fixed on him without blinking.
While he was lost in thought, a finger with a smell of gunpowder came over and lightly touched the corner of his eye.
”Director Ji, please stop staring at me. I know I’m in a mess right now.”
He Zhuo seemed to be extremely tired. His whole body swayed with the car without any support. The hand that was touching his eyes was raised for only a second before it fell again.
Ji Tingyu couldn’t argue with him at this time. He knew very well how hard a person had to travel to make such a beautiful voice become hoarse.
He called the team doctor to come and help He Zhuo treat his wound, and he sat over and supported him with his body.
”Don’t breathe through your mouth, or your throat will hurt worse.”
”Um.”
He Zhuo’s lips curled up into a faint smile, he leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, and his heart, which had been bumpy all the way, finally settled down.
”Have you ever fired a gun?”
”Kitten nose…”
His answer didn’t sound serious.
Ji Tingyu rolled his eyes, thinking that this guy is here again.
”You said you burned their car. How did you do that?”
”Molotov cocktail plus heavy sniper.”
He only said these few words and others were confused, but Ji Tingyu’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Because when he asked this question, he was thinking about what he would do if it were him, and He Zhuo’s approach coincided with his.
However, shooting at night and being affected by wind and snow is extremely difficult and it is impossible to do it without professionals.
Does this guy have shooting experience?
He wanted to see if there were any calluses on He Zhuo’s hands, but as soon as he lowered his head, He Zhuo’s hand was already raised up and spread out in front of him without reservation.
“I did shoot a gun for a few years.”
Ji Tingyu stood there in a daze.
He had an illusion that the man in front of him seemed to be able to read his every thought and respond immediately.
Just like two people who have lived together for many years, you had already put the soy milk at my hand before I reached out my hand.
Ji Tingyu felt inexplicably at ease, and he didn’t even feel uncomfortable with an alpha leaning on his shoulder for such a long time.
”Did we really know each other before?”
”You’ve asked this question once before.”
”Then let me ask you something I haven’t asked before.” Ji Tingyu leaned on the chair and slowly lowered his head towards him. The smile in his eyes had faded away without knowing when, and was replaced by a sense of intimidation and oppression: “Why did you come to see me?”
This is the most suspicious thing about He Zhuo.
”Since you know they are called battlefield hunters, you should know how cruel they are. Once you are caught, they will peel off your skin and make it into a coat.”
The other team members looked over and waited for him to speak.
He Zhuo lowered his eyes and stared at a point in the void.
This is his usual posture when thinking.
He knew that at this time he should rack his brains to say something romantic like “I do this for you”, but they had just met in this life, so he didn’t even think about whether he would be considered a psychopath if he said that.
Once he scares someone, it will have the opposite effect and make Ji Tingyu resist his approach from then on.
He Zhuo chose to compromise.
”One of the reasons is that my good brother was killed by them, and I want to avenge him and save you at the same time.”
Meng Fan shook his ears in confusion: “Is there a second reason?”
He Zhuo paused for two seconds, turned his head slightly to look at Ji Tingyu, said nothing, just looked at him.
The blazing gaze was like a peeping lens, trapping him.
Ji Tingyu knew without guessing that he must be looking at him with that kind of eyes again, and his body felt anxious for no reason.
My head is itchy and I want to make cat ears grow out.
”What? Why are you looking at our boss when I ask you a question!” Meng Fan grabbed his two big ears and covered Ji Tingyu’s face with them to prevent him from seeing them.
”Hey! Why are you going through so much trouble to help us? What benefit do you want?” He thought to himself, this man looks so dangerous, I must protect my leader!
”I will ask Director Ji for the benefits after this is over.” He Zhuo said to Ji Tingyu.
”Ah!” Meng Fan had an expression that said “I guessed it right” and said, “What do you want?”
”You don’t have to know.”
He Zhuo’s expression didn’t change, but his eyes pierced through the cold air and looked at the hand he placed on Ji Tingyu’s shoulder.
Meng Fan instantly felt his fingers being burned and he pulled them back with a burning sensation.
In order to ease the awkwardness, he asked for something to talk about: “You…what’s the name of your good brother? Maybe we have seen him before.”
Ji Tingyu also looked over.
He Zhuo’s expression immediately changed from a cold winter’s day to a spring breeze. He thought seriously for two seconds and said, “His name is Jack.”
”Oh poor stranger.” Meng Fan poured a bottle of water on the ground and said with grief: “Rest in peace, brother Jack.”
-
The two small cars were like two ants in the vast snowfield, and would be swallowed up by a gust of wind.
He Zhuo’s recovery speed is amazing.
A bottle of warm water, a tube of glucose and a pack of compressed biscuits filled up his health bar.
But Ji Tingyu was unable to contact the base.
”Still no signal. The base hasn’t responded in ten minutes.”
”Did the signal tower collapse under the weight of the snow?”
”That shouldn’t be the case. Wasn’t it just repaired before the New Year?”
The almost lost contact status made them feel uneasy, not to mention that there were ambushes on the road that could rush out at any time. It was possible that the scarred man and his gang could catch up with them. If they were really blocked, it would be bound to be a brutal massacre.
What everyone knows is that the battlefield hunters want more than just supplies.
They will kill all the alphas here, then take the omegas back, invade, mark, and claim them as their own
