Chapter 35 on(1/2)
"To be honest, I almost thought I was dead when I heard the Geiger counter in my backpack beeping."
At this moment, I am soaking in my own bathtub and enjoying the water massage comfortably.
Recalling what happened more than an hour ago, I really felt extremely embarrassed.
After I spent more than ten minutes and exhausted all my knowledge to explain to Diana and Aurora what nuclear radiation was, Diana locked me in with an air shield without saying a word, and then
Aurora opened the door and quickly took me back to the Wilhana and threw me on Ruby's
In front of me, Ruby checked me for a long time and found nothing abnormal about my body. However, Diana was still worried and directly asked Hammer to sail us to the outskirts of Selida Forest. She waited until we got home and was escorted by
The moment Savina personally confirmed that I was fine, I felt relieved.
Later, after a brief introduction by Hex, the three of us managed to understand some correct information about nuclear radiation, and after everyone relaxed, I was arranged to go upstairs to take a shower.
After I finished washing, I didn't rush back to the bedroom to change clothes. Instead, I quietly hid in a corner of the bathroom, opened the window and took a puff of the hidden cigar.
"Are you really not afraid that Diana will be angry again?" Suddenly Hex walked into the bathroom and stood next to me and said.
"Afraid, of course I am. But I am even more afraid of dying in such an inexplicable way."
"Do you still have lingering fears about nuclear radiation?"
"Of course. Even if I don't understand the harm of nuclear radiation, at least I know about a sensational event like 'Chernobyl', so I don't want to seem so miserable."
"Well... don't worry, none of us will let you die."
"Really...did you know that there was such a thing from the beginning?"
"Know more or less."
"Then why don't you remind me?"
"Because the danger is trivial."
Hex answered very freely, without any pause or hesitation, which shows that she did think so, and the final result was the same. All the worries before were just because her own was too poor, so she scared herself.
Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief again, then took a puff of my cigar and asked, "What are those things? It's those green lights I saw before."
"It's just some crystal stones that contain special powers. There's nothing to worry about. There are still a lot of those kinds of things underground. Although they're not particularly deadly, it's better to be careful. If you're still worried, I can give you some
Please help me." Hex looked at me happily, which made me feel uncomfortable being protected by others.
"Although I'm a little uncomfortable, I don't like taking risks. I'd better provide some help. I don't want to have anything to do with 'radiation' at all."
"Okay then, as you wish..." Hex stretched out the index finger and thumb of her right hand, then slowly loosened the two fingers and a golden crystal suddenly appeared from the middle, and then she stretched out her hand to hold it.
This crystal was pushed into my chest.
I watched with my own eyes as this solid material filled with golden light disappeared from my chest like a marshmallow submerged in water. Then I suddenly felt a burst of warm liquid swimming around in my body, and then gradually
The heart and position slowly dissipate.
"What is this?" I asked curiously.
"An insurance that will protect you from the dangers of nuclear radiation."
"Permanent?"
"certainly……"
As soon as Hex said this word, I jumped up with excitement. Then I hugged Hex and patted her back against her chest.
"Thank you so much, I don't know what to say right now."
"You don't need to thank me for asking, and you don't need to say more." Hex pushed my body away with a smile and said: "I just wanted to say 'No, no', this kind of abnormal power cannot exist in the world.
The body of a mortal would burst."
I put down my arm in embarrassment, then returned to the window and picked up the nearly extinguished cigar and took a puff.
"How long can it last?"
"At least about two weeks."
"Yeah...that's almost enough."
I extinguished the finished cigar in an empty flowerpot, then turned to Hex and asked, "Is it dangerous in there?"
"It depends on how you judge the meaning of 'danger'."
"Will there be death?"
"Yes."
"What a pity..." I turned around and planned to leave the bathroom.
"Have confidence in yourself, in my opinion you will come back intact."
"Thank you very much."
I left the bathroom in a daze and returned to the bedroom. I was not in a hurry to change my clothes. Instead, I took off my bathrobe and threw myself on the bed. I lazily moved up and down on the bed, and then I accidentally or unintentionally reached Dai.
Anna's pillow, and then I lay greedily on her pillow and took a deep breath.
"Hmm...it smells good. The smell of her body always makes me feel relaxed and happy."
I turned over and looked at the ceiling with my head on her pillow.
"I hate dangerous places and I hate death."
"But why can't I always avoid it..."
"I just want to live a happy life with Diana..."
"I always feel..."
"A little tired..."
"fighting……"
Unknowingly, a comfortable feeling of relaxation filled my whole body, and the hazy pajamas suddenly enveloped me. But I couldn't resist this feeling, so I could only slowly close my eyes.
"I don't like fighting either..." I stood quietly outside the bedroom door and listened to Erica whispering softly to herself inside.
I also want to live a happy, carefree and happy life with Erica, but...fate always likes to play tricks on people, right? Whenever I hope for something more, it always seems to be far away from me, and I feel
The things you strive for always seem so useless.
I turned around and pushed open the bedroom door, knocked twice and said, "Erica, come down for lunch."
Erica didn't reply, she still lay naked on the bed and breathed evenly.
I slowly walked over and sat beside the bed, gently touched Erica's sleeping face, and then reached out and pulled up the quilt to cover her body.
"Don't worry...we will all come back safe and sound from this operation, and I won't let you get hurt, absolutely not."
"Diana, Severna and the others said they had to leave first because they had something to do, so they left the four of us for lunch... Is she asleep?" Aurora walked in and took a look at us, then slowly walked to the other side of the bed.
He sat down and said, "Diana, tell me honestly, are you really with her..."
"Who knows...but I love the time I'm in..."
"Tsk, I feel like I'm just a foil..."
"How could it be? It's different."
"I didn't notice any difference. You see, the friendship between us for more than ten years is not as good as the love at first sight between you and her... I feel like I have completely failed." Aurora poked Ai with her hand.
Rika's lips.
"Do you hate her? Or..."
"I can't say I hate it, but I always feel like I want to press her head to relieve my anger." Aurora changed positions and continued to poke the tip of Erica's nose.
"It's meaningless."
"Yeah..." Aurora lay down in front of Erica again, poked her cheek with her finger, and then continued: "But beating her once will make me feel happy."
"you……"
I panicked and wanted to retreat, but by chance, I accidentally lost my balance while sitting on the edge of the bed and bumped into Aurora in front of me.
"Hmm...how?"
"I will be angry..."
"Oh, in that case, forget it. But do you plan to treat me as your lifelong friend?"
Just when the atmosphere in the bedroom was getting more and more out of control, Ruby suddenly walked in.
"Diana, I'm hungry."
"Oh, little Ruby, let's go, let's go down to eat." Aurora walked to the door and hugged Ruby.
"Where's Erica? Can't she get up?"
"Let her sleep more, she is a little tired today." I covered Erica with the quilt again, then got up and left the bedroom.
"So Erica will be up before dinner?"
"Who knows."
"Well..." I stood up and stretched, then rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock on the wall to confirm the time.
To be continued...
