"What's going on?" Xiao Ruo Ruo was startled.
"She..."
Qin Feng was almost collapsing.
With no other choice, he revealed Han Xiao's new ability, and also told Xiao Ruo Ruo that Han Xiao had just bound him and Han Ling together.
Xiao Ruo Ruo and his activities were heard clearly by the two sisters.
How could they continue?
He had his pride too!
Crucially.
It wasn't just this time; from now on, whenever such a thing happened, those two sisters would... overhear!
What to do?
Qin Feng also knew that once this kind of ability was bound, even Han Xiao herself couldn't undo it.
Unless she was killed.
Would he kill Han Xiao for something like this?
"Sleep!"
Qin Feng directly wrapped himself in the quilt, his mood instantly gone.
On the contrary, Xiao Ruo Ruo.
Showed a very strange smile.
...
Qin Feng couldn't sleep for a while.
After a while, he put on his clothes and walked out of the air-raid shelter alone.
The pent-up fire burned.
It had been forced to stop at the very beginning.
Who could endure this?
As soon as he left, Xiao Ruo Ruo, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.
She got out of bed and out of the room.
She tiptoed towards Han Xiao's room.
Originally, Han Xiao, as the leader of the sub-base, was supposed to return after the banquet.
But because of her new ability, after being lectured by her sister, she ran back to her room to overthink.
She sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.
In the 'Three-Person Chat Group,' she was the group owner with absolute authority.
She could start and close the chat at any time.
Qin Feng and Han Ling could only passively accept.
She had closed the chat.
They could no longer communicate and could not hear each other's words.
But...
Because she was constantly wronged by her sister, in a fit of anger, she bound the three of them.
What would happen in the future?
It was like grabbing a hot potato.
The key was that once bound, it could not be unbound.
She knew that Qin Feng must be aware of the binding of the chat group.
Would he come to demand an explanation?
Suddenly!
There was a knock on the door.
She was startled, he had indeed come!
What to do?
"Xiao Xiao, are you asleep?" It was Xiao Ruo Ruo's voice.
"Ruo Ruo jie?"
Han Xiao was stunned at first, then scrambled out of bed: "No... I'm asleep! Ruo Ruo jie, is there something you need?"
She originally wanted to say she wasn't asleep.
But she immediately thought that even though Qin Feng hadn't come, Xiao Ruo Ruo's purpose in coming...
Was it likely to demand an explanation too?
"I have something to tell you." Xiao Ruo Ruo's tone was very gentle.
"You... you won't hit me, will you?" Han Xiao said with a pained expression.
"Why would I hit you?"
That's right!
Han Xiao thought that in the base, besides her sister, Ruo Ruo jie was the closest to her.
She got out of bed and opened the door.
With her head lowered, she looked embarrassed and apologetic: "Ruo Ruo jie, you know already?"
"I know." Xiao Ruo Ruo smiled.
"It's all my sister's fault! I kept trying to explain to her, but she wouldn't give me a chance. In a fit of anger..."
"It's okay."
Xiao Ruo Ruo patted her head and said softly, "Whether it's true or not, if you were angered by your sister, I never thought of blaming you."
"Really?!" Han Xiao was very excited.
"You being bound to the captain is beneficial to him and the entire base."
Qin Feng said that with Xiao Ruo Ruo controlling the mycelial network, the base would be impregnable.
But!
Better safe than sorry.
What if something unexpected happened?
Worst-case scenario.
Even if the base was fine, what if Qin Feng often went out alone and got into trouble?
How could he ask for help from the base?
As long as Han Ling was bound to him, all problems would be solved.
"So you're not wrong!" Xiao Ruo Ruo concluded.
"Mm!"
Han Xiao nodded vigorously.
Ruo Ruo jie was still good to her, and so understanding.
"However..."
Just as Han Ling was relieved, Xiao Ruo Ruo's tone shifted: "For the bigger picture, what you did is understandable, but since you're so sensible, you should know about other implications, right?"
"Other implications?" Han Xiao asked, confused.
"From now on, Qin Feng won't dare to..."
"Won't dare to what?"
"Man's desire, the primal urge of man."
Whoosh.
Han Xiao's little face turned red, and she quickly waved her hands: "Ruo Ruo jie, I've already turned off the ability!"
"As long as I turn it off, you and the captain... I won't be able to hear."
"I promise I won't affect you!"
Her expression was very certain.
"Is that so?"
Xiao Ruo Ruo smiled: "There are two problems you probably haven't considered."
The first problem.
The authority was in Han Xiao's hands.
She could turn it on and off at any time, and Qin Feng could only passively accept it. In this situation...
Wasn't Qin Feng afraid?
What happened tonight had left a shadow.
From now on, whenever they were intimate, this shadow would appear.
Thinking that her 'lifeline' was in someone else's hands, and Han Xiao could turn it on at any time, or even eavesdrop... Who would have the mood?
The second problem.
Even if Han Xiao truly turned it off, what if she turned it on after Qin Feng left the base?
Turn it on?
It would still be an invasion of privacy.
Don't turn it on?
What would be the point of this ability?
If Qin Feng was in danger, she wouldn't know either.
"Ruo Ruo jie, then... what should we do?" Han Xiao was speechless.
"If you become one of us, having already 'laid bare your soul,' he wouldn't worry about eavesdropping."
"One of us?"
Han Xiao didn't quite grasp it for a moment.
Xiao Ruo Ruo gave her a knowing look: "Xiao Xiao, just consider it helping me. I alone... really can't handle him."
Pfft!
Han Xiao almost spat blood on the spot.
She finally understood what Xiao Ruo Ruo meant by 'one of us.'
"I won't..." she refused instinctively.
"You like him, don't you?" Xiao Ruo Ruo stared at her and asked.
"I..."
"A bold and responsible girl like you, wouldn't you even dare to admit if you like someone?"
"I admit it!"
Han Xiao, provoked by her, gritted her teeth in a moment of urgency: "But he's with you, I won't..."
"Silly girl, this is the apocalypse!" Xiao Ruo Ruo said earnestly.
"But..."
"Can you still fall for someone else?"
Hearing this, Han Xiao was stunned at first, then her expression became very solemn.
Could she still fall for someone else?
His strength.
His abilities.
He crushed all opponents, whether human, zombie, or mutated creature, like an omnipotent god of war!
Yes!
As Xiao Ruo Ruo said.
After spending so much time with this man, other men were hard to impress.
"But I still feel..."
"Hey!"
Xiao Ruo Ruo sighed.
"Ruo Ruo jie, why are you sighing?"
"After saying so much, it seems to have been in vain."
"No! I mean..."
"Let's be direct."
Suddenly!
A large amount of vines appeared, directly trapping Han Xiao.
"Ruo Ruo jie..."
Han Xiao was greatly alarmed and struggled with all her might.
"Your Soul Burst can break through—would you do that?"
Soul Burst.
It could directly kill Xiao Ruo Ruo.
But Han Xiao would never do that!
So.
Xiao Ruo Ruo picked her up and left.
"Ruo Ruo jie..."
Han Ling's face flushed.
She didn't know why she suddenly remembered the Qing Dynasty dramas she used to watch.
Princesses and concubines on their wedding night would be wrapped in quilts by palace maids and carried into the bridal chamber.
And then...
The woman would have to crawl out of the quilt from the other end.
So shameful!
Fortunately.
Everyone was asleep at this hour.
Xiao Ruo Ruo carried her out without encountering anyone.
