chapter 128
"What did you say?"
Fu Lian looked at Meng Youcheng in disbelief. "It's only been 38 hours. How could we have arrived so quickly? And the ground is all yellow sand, didn't you see? We haven't even left the desert yet, how could we have arrived so fast?"
Meng Youcheng barely looked at him. "Have you ever been to the A2 area?"
"I……"
The boy looked up into the distance, focusing on the city gate not far away. "You're not trying to tell me that's the main area of Region A2, are you?"
The city gate tower standing amidst the yellow sand looked flimsy and dilapidated, as if it had endured many years of wind and rain in this desert...
It has a completely different relationship with the city gate in region A1.
From this perspective, this area could indeed be the main area of region A2, because they could vaguely sense that there were mutants stirring around here.
Xu Guo, who was standing nearby, said, "Major General, let's go..."
As the two moved forward, Fu Lian continued to stare at the city tower in disbelief, but Meng Youcheng suddenly said, "Why are you thinking so much? You didn't come here to sightsee."
Fu Lian then belatedly followed, "But, I don't feel like we've been walking for very long?"
Meng Youcheng glanced back at him. "The sections of road between A1 and A2 are not far apart, which is normal."
The boy pondered for a long time. "They say the further in you go, the richer the people live, but this city is so ugly, it's not even as good as the A1 area outside!"
Meng Youcheng looked ahead and said, "The reason it's dilapidated is because this city has a long history. The city in area A1 is newly built. What you just said is right. The further in you go, the wealthier the residents become."
Just as Fu Lian was about to speak, the group had already arrived at the foot of the city wall.
One by one, the mutants who had been lurking in the shadows emerged. Like the mutants outside the city of A1, they did not make a move, choosing instead to observe and wait.
A warrior on the city wall shouted, "Who goes there?"
Meng Youcheng: "Major General Meng Youcheng of the Killing Squad, I hope you will inform your commander."
A warrior left, and moments later, a smiling man appeared on the city wall.
Above his head were five golden characters, also gleaming.
[Supporting role: Xu Shunming.]
Only now did Meng Youcheng realize the true meaning of those five words. Before the quick transmigration, 001 had said that the protagonist didn't have a romantic partner, but the supporting characters didn't...
So, is the man on the city wall and Hosse from region A1 a couple?
Xu Shunming maintained his smile and said, "I apologize for not welcoming you properly due to your sudden visit, Major General."
The city gates opened with a loud rumbling sound.
Meng Youcheng smiled and replied, "I'm only here on a mission. I presume the commander has already received the notification?"
Xu Shunming looked at Fu Lian next to Meng Youcheng, "Is that the legendary King of Mutants, Fu Lian?"
At this moment, Fu Lian didn't pay attention to the person on the city wall. Instead, she kept whispering in Meng Youcheng's ear, "Is that Huo Siquan, the person you've been longing for? How could two men do that kind of thing?"
"On another note, both guys are handsome and masculine, so why would they attract each other? It's so strange, why is this guy always smiling? He doesn't look like his girlfriend at all. Aren't they said that if you kiss a lot, you'll start to look alike?"
"Haven't they kissed yet?"
Faced with the boy's series of questions, Meng Youcheng ignored them, instead looking up at the commander-in-chief and replying with two words, "Indeed."
Fu Lian continued to stare at Meng Youcheng's profile, somewhat puzzled. "Why are you only talking to him? I've said so much to you, why don't you at least say something back? You're so rude, and you even call yourself a Major General..."
Just then, Xu Shunming suddenly stood on the city wall, leaped down, drew his sword from his waist, and slashed at Fu Lian with all his might...
The boy was already on guard and jumped back to avoid the attack.
Xu Shunming pressed his advantage and the two began to fight. Fu Lian did not make a move for a long time, but just kept dodging.
Fu Lian looked at the jade pendant at his waist and immediately laughed, "Although you have a kind face, I still can't like your personality of starting a fight without saying a word. Maybe it has something to do with your looks. Like our Major General, he fought with me from the very beginning, and I still like him..."
Xu Shunming brandished his sharp blade, smiling as he said, "Is that so? Then Major General, you are truly blessed. You are the King of Mutants. To gain your favor must be a rare and joyous occasion in your mutant world, right?"
Fu Lian grabbed his sword with one hand and immediately beamed with joy. "I like to hear that, but your human god of war doesn't think so. Since I've come to your place to bother you, you must help me persuade him. A good man of my caliber is a rare find."
With a swift turn of his sword, Xu Shunming forcefully slashed towards his groin...
Fu Lian was terrified and quickly dodged, shouting, "Are you trying to make me childless? You're ruining my brother!"
The commander did not answer the question, but smiled and said, "I will help you with your confusion. I am a helpful person. However, as you know, if some people really don't like something, no matter how much others say, it will be of no use."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped into the air and swung his sword down. "So don't put too much hope in me about these things, it'll put a lot of pressure on me!"
Fu Lian immediately stretched out a hand, caught the blade with his bare hand, and once again gripped his sword. "Don't you find it disgusting? Your Major General and I are both boys."
Xu Shunming pressed down hard on his sword, "The world is vast and full of wonders. The most important thing about this kind of thing is that you like it."
Fu Lian smiled and said, "Then, Commander, do you still like Huo Siquan from Region A1? He still likes you a lot and asked me to pass on a message to you. He said he regretted not keeping the appointment because of the pressure of his duties. I think you can empathize with him and won't blame him, right?"
Xu Shunming was visibly stunned for a second. He sheathed his longsword, leaped into the air, and created distance...
His smile remained. "That happened so many years ago. If you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have remembered. Of course, I don't blame him. After all, I'm a general now, and I can empathize with him..."
Fu Lian smiled slightly. "So, do you still like him?"
"I've almost forgotten about him, so how could I possibly like him?"
The people present were clearly stunned.
Fu Lian's smile froze. Pointing to the jade pendant at his waist, she said, "You're lying. If you don't like it, why keep the jade pendant? You clearly..."
"You mean this?"
Xu Shunming picked up the jade pendant from his waist. "This was given to me by a child I rescued a few days ago. He said it would bring me good luck, so I've been wearing it ever since..."
The boy then noticed that the jade pendant on the commander's waist was indeed not a blue dragon.
Since the two had been fighting, and the jade pendants were all green, he assumed that this jade pendant must have been left by him and Huo Siquan.
did not expect……
Fu Lian suddenly became furious, "You don't like him? Do you know... he's been guarding the A1 region for you, fearing that you wouldn't be able to withstand the invasion of magical beasts. Otherwise, how could your A2 region possibly be peaceful?"
The boy leaped forward, raised his fist, and swung it down. "Do you know that the day we arrived, he almost died there? Before he died, all he could think about was you, and even the place he was looking at was A2 area. He loved you so much, how can you so easily say you don't remember?!"
Xu Shunming smiled and brandished his sword in resistance. "Guarding the A1 area is his duty, it has nothing to do with me. If he fails in his duty, he will be dismissed from his post. Perhaps that's why..."
"asshole!!!"
Fu Lian swung his fist at him with all his might, "It's just a worthless position, is it worth risking his life for? Why the hell can't you understand?!"
The two fought, producing a violent clashing sound. Yellow sand billowed everywhere, making it difficult to see the road ahead.
Even so, Xu Shunming's smile never faded. "I've already said I don't like him anymore. As time goes by, I can't possibly live in the past, can I? Besides, you're a mutant, you should care more about yourself instead of always worrying about others. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died!"
"ah--!"
Fu Lian punched him with all his might, sending him flying. "Fuck your grandpa! How could you do this to him?! You just say you don't love him anymore! Then why didn't you tell him?! You've been enjoying his kindness while you played with him?!"
Xu Shunming was slammed against the wall, spitting out blood. He wiped it away, still smiling, "So strong... Is this the strongest combat power?"
"If I weren't handcuffed and that didn't limit my strength, I'd fucking beat the shit out of you!"
Watching them from a distance, Meng Youcheng said from the side, "Major General, are you sure you don't need to intervene and help the Commander?"
The man paused for a few seconds, then said, "He wanted to get it done himself..."
Xu Guo said excitedly, "But we have to stay here for 15 days, if we don't..."
That sentence really woke him up.
Yes, they're going to stay here for 15 days. If they let this idiot beat them up, what if the commander is petty and deliberately targets them?
