Chapter 49
Ling Mo's hasn't in the best spot.
He broke three ribs—— maybe it was broken by Xia Xinyan falling on his body, and one of the ribs pierced an internal organ. This is already a serious injury, so when he saw the long row of status effects, he was ready to give up.
He just wanted to wait for Xinyan to leave, so that he could quit.
However, Xia did not choose to leave until the end, which moved him.
Even the injuries on his body seemed to be less painful.
This is obviously just a game, but at this moment, it's like reality, which really makes Ling Mo feel a sense of regret at parting from life and death.
——He is the one who is being sent away.
Anyway... It made him feel warm.
He has never experienced the feeling of real death, but it's probably similar to the feeling simulated by the game. When he has very sick, he thought about whether someone would cry for him when he was on the verge of death—— the answer he got was no.
At that time, he felt really sad. After living this life, what is left in the end?
——This seems to involve the scope of philosophy again, so he didn't think about it anymore.
But now, he seemed to experience the feeling he once wanted.
Of course, Xinyan didn't cry, but just sat on him and kept silent, but Ling Mo benefited from this silent watch, at least at this moment, he can be sure that he really was something in Xia Xinyan's heart.
That's enough.
——Until she suddenly kissed him.
The garbage and soaked sewage under his body had already caused him to lose a lot of body temperature, and his body was gradually losing consciousness, but because of this kiss, it seemed that the night sky with dark clouds were lifted, revealed the sky full of stars again.
The impact it brought to him far surpassed the first superficial touch.
Perhaps, this will become a scene he will never forget.
The kiss lasted for a long time.
No... This may not even be considered a kiss, the two of them have absolutely no experience in this area, Xia is just going all out to heal Ling Mo, and he has completely fallen into a shutdown state, foolishly allowing her actions, not noticing his own changes.
He was recovering quickly from his injuries.
Whether it was blood loss, body temperature, or even the broken ribs, they were quickly healed at a speed that completely violated common sense, and within a short time, he regained his ability to move.
As if sensing his change, Xia Xinyan suddenly got up and let go of him, got up from him, and stood aside in embarrassment.
"You... You should have recovered now, right?"
Ling Mo paused for a moment before he finally came to his senses—— his injuries seemed to have recovered.
Even the few negative effects accumulated before disappeared, and there is only one 《Weakness》 left in his current status bar.
The only negative effect is to slightly reduce the upper limit of action speed and strength, which is completely harmless to him now.
Could it be... Because of her?
That kiss just now... Was it to treat him?
"You..."
He got up from the ground, and looked at Xia Xinyan with a strange expression.
"Just now..."
"Cough."
Xia Xinyan picked up the pistol that had been dropped by the side, turned around and walked forward.
"Let's catch up with Murong Yue and Da Ri, they probably have gone far..."
The only light source in the sewer is the ceiling lamps, which is located every ten meters or so. The light is very dim, and you can barely see the surrounding situation, but even so, Ling Mo still caught the blush on Xia Xinyan's face before she turned around.
She's... Shy?
After a pause of two seconds, he couldn't help but giggle.
How she cured himself is not the point now. Everyone has their own little secret, even between lovers. Although Ling Mo has a strong desire to control, he will not cross the bottom line by asking, he can wait for when she's willing to tell him.
Besides, anyway, he was the one who took advantage just now.
But what Ling Mo cares about now is... She is actually shy.
She was so shy that she didn't even want to make eye contact with him for a second, and hurriedly chased after the two people in front. From this point of view, it can be seen that he got much more information than before.
Xia had always shown a strong desire to take the lead before, and there were many hints, while he didn't notice it sometimes, the times he did it would feel awkward. From the perspective of their relationship, this was a bit excessive. Although it was not a bad thing, it just made him not know how to deal with it.
How to say it... He doesn't know how to act when flattered.
But looking at it now... It seems that Xinyan's essence is far from her appearance.
If she really was that casual about sex as she had shown him before, then the behavior just now was probably a trivial matter to her, and she definitely wouldn't let it affect her.
So if he wasn't stupid, he would understand what this meant—— she was faking it.
Why pretend, he doesn't know.
Does she like to tease him?
Thinking of this possibility, Ling Mo was silent for a few seconds, then put his act together.
'Forget it, no matter what... Who doesn't like a girl who is open on the surface but is actually very pure in her heart.'
'What's more, it's my girlfriend.'
'And it seems to be only open to myself.'
He wanted to laugh again.
Fatty and Murong Yue didn't go far, and deliberately slowed down to wait for Xia Xinyan to catch up, but when they saw Ling Mo following up, Fatty was still surprised for a moment.
"You are alive?"
Ling Mo smiled.
"Isn't it a surprise?"
"A real surprise..."
Fatty looked him up and down for a few seconds, then frowned.
"How did you recover?"
He fell badly before, and Fatty and Murong Yue were watching with their own eyes. Even if he didn't know the extent of his injury, he probably could have guessed that he had been in a serious position for a month or two, so he being able to survive like this, and in such a good shape was a surprise to him.
Is there any special medicine?
Hearing this, Ling Mo glanced at Xia Xinyan at the side from the corner of his eye.
At the moment, she was lowering her head and fiddling with the navigation on her mobile phone, as if she had nothing to do with it.
Ling Mo couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and said casually.
"Secret."
The fat man paused and shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, I won't ask any more questions, but we probably have to speed up the travel. Now it's estimated that there are only over two hours left, and we may not be able to reach do in more than ten kilometers."
"It's okay, even if you can't catch up with the rescue, the game will provide other ways to clear the level."
Xia said in a low voice.
"As long as you can leave the city before the five-hour limit."
The army clearing operation that the game reminded before should be the deadline of this dungeon. The game will continue to provide players with customs clearance methods before the deadline, but if they exceed it and have not escaped, they can only wait for death.
The fat man responded.
"Anyway, if you can clear the goal earlier, you can do it earlier, and if it is delayed for a long time, it will be easy do accidents to happen."
Ling Mo suddenly stopped and looked at Fatty.
"Wait, what did you say?"
"Huh? I said do it earlier..."
The fat man subconsciously repeated it, and then he was taken aback.
The scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Click!
Until the sound of pulling the slide broke the silence, Murong Yue raised the loaded pistol and took a few steps back to distance herself from the fat man. Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo then moved away from Fatty, looking at him with a bit of vigilance.
Fatty: "..."
Fuck.
