PNB Chapter 372 The Little Rose of the Dark Captain (60)
Chapter 372 The Little Rose of the Dark Captain (60)
Xiao Xuxing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who are the people who are to be redeemed?"
Bai Chao slowly counted: "Sinners, enemies, enemies..."
"..."
There was no expression on Xiao Xuxing's face.
"Oh, then how does God teach you to love the world?"
“With kindness and mercy.”
"mercy……"
Xiao Xuxing's heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife.
“Li Qingzhi…” The man’s breath was trembling, and his voice seemed to be seeping with blood. “I have never seen anyone more cruel than you.”
Bai Chao was bewildered: "Xiao Xuxing, I don't understand what you mean. It was you who asked me to love you, and I..."
"enough!"
Xiao Xuxing stood up suddenly: "Li Qingzhi, I just want to ask you one question. The Paradise is gone, but you still want to worship your God, right?"
Bai Chao said softly: "Yes..."
Xiao Xuxing's heart sank heavily into the abyss.
"well……"
Xiao Xuxing finally realized clearly that this person did not love him.
He really never loved him.
Even these days are just a superficial illusion.
Xiao Xuxing lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Chao: "What do you want from me, Li Qingzhi..."
“……”Bai Chao sat on the bed at a loss.
"Is it because my various supernatural powers are still valuable, or do you want to leave a test subject for your priest who is not dead yet?"
Bai Chao quickly explained: "No, the priest won't let you..."
Xiao Xuxing roared: "Li Qingzhi!"
"..."
After a dead silence.
The man's voice suddenly calmed down in the room.
"Maybe I really shouldn't have brought you back."
There was a bang.
The door to the room was closed.
"..."
Bai Chao looked at the empty room and blinked slightly.
……
In the following days, Bai Chao continued to perform his tasks as usual.
It wasn't until he saw that his tasks gradually turned into helping people move things and pack heavy items that he knew the shelter had begun to move.
"..."
Bai Chao looked at the man in front of him who was swiping his contribution card with a cold face and said nothing.
That night, Xiao Xuxing did not come back the whole night.
When daybreak came, Bai Chao left on his own.
Since that day, their relationship has reached freezing point.
Xiao Xuxing still settled tasks for Bai Chao every day, but he never spoke to Bai Chao again, and the two of them completely stopped communicating.
But today, after Xiao Xuxing used Bai Chao's card, he did not return the contribution card to Bai Chao.
Bai Chao stared blankly at Xiao Xuxing putting the card and the device back into his pocket. Without explaining anything, he turned around and was about to leave.
Bai Chao couldn't help but took a step forward: "My card..."
"..."
Xiao Xuxing finally spoke: "Your card needs to be registered temporarily, and I will return it to you tomorrow."
"Oh……"
Xiao Xuxing glanced at Bai Chao and threw him a blank card: "This card can open the door of your room."
"it is good."
Bai Chao watched the man leave and put the blank card into his pocket.
001 flew out: "Host, the shelter has sent the fifth batch of residents to move in."
"Ah."
In fact, it can be seen that the shelter is becoming empty little by little.
Many people have already moved away.
The rest of the people were also packing their luggage, preparing to move to their new home with great enthusiasm, and few people were willing to do the tasks.
The offices are also much emptier.
There were few people on the street.
Bai Chao walked slowly along the road.
001 said excitedly: "Host, the Lord God wants your contribution card. Is he also going to move you?"
"..."
Bai Chao glanced at the blue sky in the distance.
"Maybe."
The next morning.
As soon as Bai Chao opened the door, he saw Xiao Xuxing standing at the door.
Xiao Xuxing put down his hand that was about to knock on the door.
"Pack your own things and don't take anything you can't take away."
Bai Chao was silent.
"No mission today?"
"You don't have any mission today." Xiao Xuxing said calmly, "Go to the new base and continue working on it."
"Oh……"
Bai Chao turned around and went to pack his luggage.
But he didn't have anything either.
All the luggage that was packed was put into a thin small bag.
Xiao Xuxing waited at the door with his arms folded, but less than ten minutes later, Bai Chao stood in front of him with a small bag.
Xiao Xuxing frowned: "Okay?"
"All right."
"..."
Xiao Xuxing glanced at him and said, "Let's go."
Bai Chao followed Xiao Xu out.
There was an off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road.
Xiao Xuxing let Bai Chao sit in the car and he got into the driver's seat.
Bai Chao sat in the back seat, watching the scenery receding outside the car window.
They left the shelter.
It was very quiet in the car and no one spoke.
The road was a bit bumpy. Bai Chao looked at the increasingly unfamiliar road and asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?"
"C2 shelter."
"..."
Bai Chao turned his head: "That is..."
Xiao Xuxing turned the steering wheel: "Another large shelter."
"..."
Bai Chao said in a low voice: "That is not a new base."
"No."
The atmosphere in the car became increasingly depressing.
Xiao Xuxing looked ahead expressionlessly: "Li Qingzhi, from today on, I am no longer your supervisor."
“…Who will supervise me in the future?”
"That base will have the right people."
"..."
"Don't you want to take care of me anymore..."
Xiao Xuxing slammed on the brakes.
The wheels braked suddenly as they rubbed against the gravel.
Bai Chao's body leaned forward due to inertia, and he subconsciously held onto the front seat with both hands to steady himself.
After a moment of silence.
Xiao Xuxing took out the car keys.
"get off."
"..."
Bai Chao opened the car door and slowly got out.
What lies ahead is a city that is completely different from the previous refuge.
Bai Chao looked at this strange base and stood there without moving.
"Li Qingzhi."
Xiao Xu was not far away, frowning at Bai Chao and saying, "Follow me."
Bai Chao paused, then raised his foot and followed Xiao Xuxing.
Xiao Xuxing led his men into the gate of the shelter.
As soon as they entered the gate, someone came to greet them.
The receptionist was very enthusiastic and led them into an office-like room with a smile on his face.
There are other staff members inside.
All the handover work was arranged by Xiao Xuxing.
Bai Chaoan sat quietly aside, watching them talk about where to go.
Soon, the handover work was completed.
Xiao Xuxing walked up to Bai Chao with a file bag.
"Inside is your new contribution card and ID. Someone will take you to your residence in a moment."
“This shelter is close to a water source, so it’s convenient to use water, but you need to fetch water yourself.”
"Your contribution points for completing tasks will no longer be halved, and you can freely exchange them for supplies."
"If you have any questions, go ask the person who is leading you later."
Bai Chao said sullenly: "Xiao Xuxing..."
Xiao Xuxing no longer blamed him for calling his name without his permission.
"I am leaving."
"..."
Xiao Xuxing put the file bag in his hand, turned around and left.
Bai Chao followed him silently.
Xiao Xuxing felt that there was a follower behind him, but he said nothing and let him follow him.
Until Xiao Xu walked out of the shelter's gate.
Bai Chao was about to follow him out when someone stopped him: "Sorry, you can't go any further."
Bai Chao couldn't go out and could only stop behind the door of the shelter.
Xiao Xuxing got into the car and turned on the switch.
The car turned around and headed back in the direction it came from.
Xiao Xuxing glanced at the rearview mirror.
The figure in the rearview mirror was getting smaller and smaller, but it stood there without leaving.
"..."
Xiao Xuxing looked away with difficulty and stepped on the accelerator.
The wheels accelerated, quickly leaving the figure behind far behind until it could no longer be seen.
After returning to the old shelter, Xiao Xuxing had just gotten off the car when a team member came to meet him.
"Captain Xiao."
Xiao Xuxing closed the car door: "Well, are you ready?"
"Yes, it's ready, and all personnel have been accounted for."
Today is the day to send the last batch of people out of the shelter.
Once the cleanup work was completed, the old shelter was completely empty.
Xiao Xu walked to the front of three large trucks.
One truck was full of people, and the other two were full of luggage.
Seeing Xiao Xuxing coming, all the team members who were in charge of the vehicles ran over and reported to Xiao Xuxing what they were responsible for.
After listening to the report, Xiao Xuxing inspected the shelter again.
After making sure that no one or anything was missed, Xiao Xuxing waved his hand.
"Set off."
"Yes!"
Three large trucks drove away one after another.
Xiao Xuxing stood at the back, and a gust of wind blew under his feet, carrying him to the carriage of the last car.
"Captain Xiao."
You Xinyu waved her hand.
Xiao Xuxing glanced at her and said, "Yeah."
You Xinyu was also among the last batch of people to leave.
She is in charge of looking after the luggage in the car.
Xiao Xuxing leaned against the side of the carriage, propped up one leg, and closed his eyes to rest.
"..."
You Xinyu looked around but didn't see Bai Chao.
She was puzzled and hesitated for a while, but she still rashly disturbed Xiao Xuxing, who was not sure whether he was really sleeping or pretending to sleep.
"Captain Xiao..."
Xiao Xuxing raised his eyelids and said, "Speak."
You Xinyu scratched her head: "Um... that... where is Brother Qingzhi?"
"..."
Xiao Xuxing said coldly: "The base has been transferred and sent to another place for custody."
"what……"
You Xinyu didn't expect this answer.
"Captain Xiao, why don't you take him with you to the new base?"
Xiao Xuxing had a blank expression on his face: "Why do you want to bring them along?"
"because of you……"
You Xinyu was stuck.
She forgot.
The two are still breaking up.
But Captain Xiao was very active in striving to become the supervisor of the Bai Dynasty...
She thought...
You Xinyu was silent.
"..."
Xiao Xuxing lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.
New base...
Letting Bai Chao go to the new base may not necessarily be a good thing.
Although the material conditions there have improved, all the original systems have been reformed.
The mission rules of the new base have also changed. Ordinary people are no longer required to grab items by themselves, but instead a distribution system is implemented.
Bai Chao can no longer only do single-player missions, and other cooperative missions may involve encountering many people.
The malice and exclusion of those people would only be more obvious than in the cafeteria.
The new base has just started the move-in process. As the number of people increases, problems will definitely arise. Many places are not stable and need to be reorganized and planned based on the on-site conditions.
At that time, Xiao Xuxing would become very busy and would have no time to care about Bai Chao.
The new shelter can be a newly built base or another base.
Let Bai Chao find another refuge, a place where no one knows him, maybe he will be more comfortable.
At least... I'm not afraid to even go to the cafeteria.
Xiao Xuxing flipped his palm and took a look at his new contribution card.
Once the new base is fully settled, it's time for him to leave.
But during this time, he still needs to think carefully...
"Captain Xiao..."
You Xinyu's weak voice came from the side.
“Actually, I think I was wrong…”
"Brother Qingzhi should have feelings for you..."
"Heh..." Xiao Xuxing pulled the corner of his mouth and did not comment.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, You Xinyu sat up straight: "It's true, Captain Xiao, I really didn't lie to you."
"Oh."
Xiao Xuxing didn't want to discuss his emotional problems with others, so he ignored You Xinyu and turned to look at the trees outside that were constantly retreating.
The tree outside reminded him of the one planted downstairs.
The tree grew very fast and was already nearly two meters tall.
The leaves are dense and layered, and the branches spread out in all directions like a big green umbrella.
As long as the wind blows, it will emit a light and fresh fragrance.
Xiao Xuxing watered the tree for the last time and did not take it away.
The tree roots have grown very deep. Pulling them out will damage its root system, and it may not survive if it is moved to another location.
And… there’s no need to take a tree away.
"..." You Xinyu looked at Xiao Xuxing who refused to communicate, and always felt something was wrong.
She couldn't help but ask, "Captain Xiao, didn't you see Brother Qingzhi's injury?"
"..."
Xiao Xuxing frowned tightly and turned back: "What's the injury?"
You Xinyu sighed: "It's just the wound on the wrist..."
Although the shelter required confidentiality at the time, the wound on Bai Chao's hand did not disappear. Captain Xiao should be able to see it, right?
But now...why does it seem like Captain Xiao doesn't know about the injury...
Xiao Xuxing's expression changed and he stood up suddenly: "...He has a wound on his wrist?!"
He originally thought that the handcuffs Bai Chao wore in prison were so painful that he wore a bandage as a wrist guard.
But then...
As far as he could remember, the bandage on this man's wrist had never been removed...
Xiao Xuxing's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Why is he injured? Did the interrogation department abuse him?!"
"No...just..."
You Xinyu was in a dilemma, but finally she made up her mind and decided to speak out about this matter.
"The higher-ups actually asked for confidentiality..."
You Xinyu knew in her heart that the so-called secret was only kept secret from Xiao Xuxing.
If Bai Chao had really died at that time...
No one could stop Xiao Xuxing from dying with him...
Xiao Xuxing's face was frighteningly gloomy: "What on earth is going on?"
"Captain Xiao..."
"Don't say I said what I said to you..."
"Say!"
"..."
You Xinyu was a little scared. She moved back a bit and hid behind a large piece of luggage before she dared to speak.
"Yes...it was like this...at that time..."
