Chapter 458 - Flirting
"Is the signal still not working? You still can\'t send a message to your relatives?" Huo Ling asked Qi Ying as he handed him a can of soda.
Qi Ying wanted to avoid Huo Ling after he saw what happened yesterday. Although Huo Ling returned with new clothes and has no smell of blood on him after he washed up, but Qi Ying felt his scalp is turning numb every time Huo Ling is near him because Huo Ling was radiating a strong killing intent yesterday. Even Xi Kai didn\'t speak. Not even Yi Bing, which they don\'t know was the cause of Huo Ling going into a silent berserk, leaving them fear in their hearts.
"No." Qi Ying suppressed his fear. "There was a zombie siege before in the tower nearest to us so there is no signal." He told him. "But, when I was still in the Northern Military Base, we already sent uncle and aunt, as well as cousin, messages asking how there are and if they are safe. However, we didn\'t receive any reply, so I am going to the Capital to look for them to know what their situation is." He explained.
"Oh." Huo Ling muttered and ate the spam.
"How about you, Huo-ge?" Qi Ying looked at him. "… you are really not going to the Capital for a honeymoon, are you?" he asked.
"I am looking for an opportunity to kill my boss." Huo Ling answered.
"… huh?" Qi Ying blinked as he stared at Huo Ling. "That\'s not what I mean…" he muttered. He isn\'t asking about their relationship, but instead their objective of coming to the Capital! When he heard Yi Bing\'s chuckle, Qi Ying realized it. "… you two are currently quarreling, right?" he asked. If not, why would Huo Ling wants to kill his husband?
(Huo Ling: because he is a fake husband!)
(Yi Bing: I am… your authentic husband. *smile)
(Huo Ling: no! what I mean is that I have no husband!)
Unfortunately, Qi Ying is dense, and even the sharp Xi Kai and Jenny won\'t know the internal struggle of Huo Ling. So, Huo Ling chose to remain silent while holding the canned food tight as if the can is Yi Bing and he is crushing it.
Yi Bing knows Huo Ling\'s personality so he knows that Huo Ling wouldn\'t answer Qi Ying\'s question. As Huo Ling\'s superior, and the perpetrator of Huo Ling\'s silent berserk, he coughed and answered for Huo Ling. "We are going to the Capital to see which is safer to live in between it and the Northern Military Base." He told them.
Hearing what Yi Bing said, Xi Kai\'s expression changed. That\'s right. He actually has another reason in going to the Capital aside from reuniting with his family. That is, if the Capital is better to live in than the Northern Military Base and his base made. Even if his family is in the Capital, but if the Capital has worse living condition and has weaker defense than the Northern Military Base, he would not hesitate to go back, even if Qi Ming and Hu Feng are going to be the leaders. They definitely won\'t kick him away, a soon-to-be level three and dual ability user. He is also smart and knows how to cooperate, and even gave them his base. He knows they are not ungrateful people, and that the previous conflict was a result of a misunderstanding.
Thinking this, Xi Kai\'s gaze fell on Qi Ying who is silently eating his food. Qi Ying who suddenly felt a gaze on him subconsciously shuddered and felt that it was very hard to swallow the food. The food he is eating is the food Qi Ming has asked Huo Ling to store for Qi Ying\'s allowance when they go to the Capital. Perhaps Qi Ming has already expected that Xi Kai would give Qi Ying a hard time and exclude him on the team, not giving him a portion of their food, so he gave Huo Ling some food for Qi Ying.
"You okay?" Huo Ling asked when he noticed that Qi Ying looked stiff. If not for Qi Ying\'s eyeballs moving, he would think that the other has become a statue after not hearing him breathing.
Huo Ling\'s gaze immediately fell on Xi Kai, the suspect. He is the only one who can make Qi Ying be this scared, as Qi Ying has already believed that Xi Kai has marked his name down on Xi Kai\'s to-kill list. And Huo Ling\'s suspicion was confirmed when he saw Xi Kai looking at Qi Ying.
Xi Kai saw Huo Ling looked his way and he immediately removed his gaze on Qi Ying. It is not that he is afraid of Huo Ling. He just doesn\'t have any reason to fight Huo Ling. Also… he lowered his gaze as his eyes narrowed. He can feel that Huo Ling and Yi Bing are not ordinary people. They have a different aura from him, Qi Ming and Hu Feng. Not the aura of murderers, but another thing… which he unfortunately can\'t name.
His brows knitted and he ate the bread. They are currently in a mall and they have just finished clearing up the grocery area. They also have already cleared up all the shelves and had Huo Ling store it in his space. They aren\'t afraid that Huo Ling would deceive them, as they can see that the two are honest people and… they really look elite, as if the apocalypse doesn\'t affect them.
This is a temperament that can\'t be copied. Yi Bing and Huo Ling are really in a different league, and it made Xi Kai feel secretly ashamed.
0000: how is the preparation in annexing Xi Kai\'s base with the Northern Military Base?
5555: there is a resistance with the ruling group of Xi Kai\'s base even if Qi Ming and Hu Feng have told them about Xi Kai\'s decision. It seemed that they are actually disloyal to Xi Kai. Bullying the weak while fearing the strong.
Yi Bing glanced at Xi Kai. Of course, he wouldn\'t tell Xi Kai about this. Not because he felt sympathetic to Xi Kai, but that he knew that Xi Kai doesn\'t need sympathy as Xi Kai also has no attachment to his base. Or else, why would he easily give his base to the military and Qi Ming?
0000: is it that hard to deal with them?
5555: not really. I and my disciple, who needs to vent his anger, already crushed them. My disciple really is a masterpiece. He electrified the whole building, which scared them all until they pissed and they finally came out crawling. Hahahaha.
Yi Bing rolled his eyes at Jin Wu\'s message.
0000: found anything on your end?
5555: none. How about in your end?
0000: I only heard Qi Ying told Huo Ling that there was a zombie surge in a tower so the signal was lost.
5555: was is a coincidence?
0000: we will check the tower later after we found a map of the city. You pay attention to Hu Feng and Wen Yan. The military definitely has some information and updates each other along with the government.
5555: I understand.
0000: Don\'t forget Qi Ming, too. There is a signal in the Northern Military Base. Qi Ming might receive some news from his friends around the country.
5555: okay.
Yi Bing closed his communicator through his brain. Then, he looked at Huo Ling. He can actually give an order to Huo Ling through their communicators. But, they are just near to each other. So, where is the fun in communicating through gadgets? He can just tell him directly, and as well as… ehem, flirt with him.
But… he has to get rid… ehem, shoo away Qi Ying first. If it was Qi Ying who approached Huo Ling, then that would definitely be easy. However, the problem is that Huo Ling is the one sticking to Qi Ying to avoid him, his \'husband\'. It is so frustrating. This also makes him jealous, since his \'husband\' is sticking with another man… ah. An idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
Huo Ling suddenly shuddered for some reason. And when he turned to Yi Bing, he finally knew the reason. Yi Bing must definitely have an evil idea he thought! Again! Is it too late for him to choose to reincarnate to his second cycle now?
(Yi Bing: IT. IS. TOO. LATE! You won\'t get away from me!)
Huo Ling suddenly wanted to seriously kill Yi Bing. And when his killing intent leaked, Qi Ying shuddered in fear and sat there frozen. He didn\'t dare move nor breathe loudly for fear that his head might suddenly leave his neck after he blinked.
As expected, Yi Bing called him, and sweetly! "Huo Ling." He smiled as he turned to Huo Ling. "I need to talk to you for a bit." He spoke.
Xi Kai, a smart man, knows and he whistled while Jenny who also knows they are \'flirting\' also grinned. Huo Ling, on the other hand, his face darkened.
