Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

"Why can I learn rap at the fire station?"

Ignoring Neng Angel's doubts, Bai Hua turned on the messenger phone nervously and excitedly, cleared her throat and dialed the number of the detective agency.

The forbearance that I have been killed countless times by Ah Xiao is finally about to turn into my own power at this moment!

The moment the dial key was pressed, a sweet female voice resounded over the wasteland.

[Hello, your phone is in arrears, please pay the phone bill, thank you! 】

beep--

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the busy tone from the loudspeaker makes this wasteland look even more silent and desolate.

Chapter 45 Ah Neng: I'm Like a Light Bulb

"It's really an operator without blood or tears. It won't kill you if you delay the phone bill for a few months..."

After a burst of busy voices, Bai Hua rubbed her ears with an embarrassed expression. It seems that even the most pure existence among Lao Lai is still unable to fight against cyber AI (referring to automatic payment deduction)

"It seems that there is no way for Lao Li to set off immediately to pick us up, but there is no need to worry. This phone has the function of sending signal frequency. I have found the coordinates on the heavy card before. Just enter it and start sending. It is efficiency. It may not be as fast as a direct call. After all, the signal needs to be transmitted for a while, and it is not certain who will come to help in the end."

Although the b of "one phone call with thousands of troops and horses to meet each other" was disrupted by the operator and failed to pretend, the rescue itself will not be delayed because of this. I just fiddled with the messenger phone to enter numbers a few times, and then flipped the switch. put it aside.

"...Why did you prepare so meticulously, Bai Hua?"

Dexas, who was sitting next to him and didn't talk much just now, after seeing what Bai Hua had done just now, asked the Lupu boy softly.

"Props for camping, messenger phones—this kind of preparation even feels a little too hard."

"This is not too much force, Texas. I just hope that when the next accident strikes, I have made sufficient preparations, instead of being overwhelmed and almost taking the life of my companion."

"Plus...it's not meticulous. Really meticulous people prepare for everything, and they don't put themselves and their companions in this situation in the first place."

Bai Hua gave a wry smile, and when he was sitting on the ground, he raised his head slightly and looked at Texas who was sitting on the chair.

"If I were a nuanced person, we wouldn't have had a dustbowl last time - and it turns out, I've never been a nuanced guy, the best I've ever been is an idiot trying to plug holes I've made .”

"Birch..."

Energy Angel frowned and looked at Bai Hua worriedly. She could hear the self-blame and anger in the gray wolf's tone, but she didn't know why he blamed himself or why he was angry.

"No—it's not like that. You noticed the Originium radiation dust storm at that time. Regardless of my refutation, you forced your vehicle to choose an evasive route, and I didn't even believe your judgment at all at that time... From the results, At that time, it was because of your meticulousness and choices that you made to protect me."

Texas refuted Bai Hua's self-positioning, but Bai Hua still just shook his head.

"[Protection]...? It was just our luck that time. If there were no caves around, if the track of the dust storm was closer to the truck, and if the main control of the truck had melted in advance, we would have died there long ago. I didn't Who has protected, whether it is now, or before—”

"Birch!"

"Wow woo woo!?"

Texas suddenly yelled the name of the gray wolf boy in front of him, and at the same time got up and walked in front of Bai Hua in three steps and two steps.

Although Bai Hua was frightened and triggered PTSD and wanted to escape, but he felt that Texas's anger at the moment was not 'killing intent', but some other existence.

"Why do you demean yourself like this?"

"This is just a statement of fact..."

Bai Hua didn't dare to face Texas's amber eyes, and the blue-gold eyes could only move to the nearby wasteland.

"The truth is—you saved the angel, and you saved me twice."

Walking in front of Bai Hua, Texas squatted down to look at Bai Hua's face. At this moment, the two gray wolves could even see each other's reflection in each other's eyes.

It’s just that the two gray wolves showed completely different auras. Bai Hua wanted to avoid the approach of Texas, but Texas seemed to be hunting, no matter his sight or body, he fixed on and bit Bai Hua. Let him have no room to hide and escape.

"I have been troubled since the moment I accepted this commission (behind Neng Angel) - how to express my gratitude to you for saving my life before, and how to apologize for my aggressive behavior during this time, How should I let you know that I have been just using the method of 'chasing and killing' to escape my confused and terrified emotions."

Texas has very few words, and she is an existence that doesn't like to express her inner thoughts very much.Because of this, some people refer to Texas with titles such as "lone wolf".

But it is such a "lone wolf", squatting in front of another lone wolf at this moment, constantly telling what he thinks in his heart.

"I've been worrying about you because I think it's a very important thing, so important that I've never seen it before in my life, and I don't even know how to deal with it."

"But you... Bai Hua, if you feel that 'protecting me' is so worthless, then what are my entanglements and troubles?"

This time, De Texas' tone was no longer as flat and unwavering as before. Her tone gradually became higher, and at the same time it became a little hasty.

"..."

Texas stared fixedly at Bai Hua, and only slowly moved away after Bai Hua's eyes stopped wandering away.

"I have never owed anyone a favor, because I know how important it is and how important it is. There have been countless people who want to flatter me, support me, and please me, just so that I can give them A [favor]. And I never gave these people any chance. But...but if it was you, Bai Hua——I would choose to remember this favor, and... try hard to repay it."

Speaking of this, Texas couldn't help but look away. She felt that she had said too much, and it didn't even seem like what Texas would say.

At the same time, she felt that her cheeks were getting hot, and she only hoped that Bai Hua would not notice this slight change from her appearance at this moment.

"So promise me, don't belittle yourself anymore. I don't know what you have experienced in the past, but you did protect me from natural disasters, more than once."

"Texas..."

Bai Hua opened her mouth, but facing the gray wolf crouching in front of her with a slightly red cheek and a smile, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

——I really 'protected' Texas?

A long-lost feeling emerged from the bottom of Bai Hua's heart, as if a hole had been poked out in a swimming pool full of sludge.

He looked up at the sky, until Bai Hua suddenly realized that under the dark and hazy curtain, occasionally one or two stars could be seen twinkling.

"I see... Sorry to make you feel uncomfortable, Texas."

In the end, Bai Hua returned her gaze to Texas and smiled back.

On the other side, when the energy angel who witnessed the whole process saw this scene, she didn't know what expression she should put on.

De Texas untied the grudge between himself and Bai Hua, and finally told Bai Hua his true inner feelings.

I, the "moon old man", haven't even signed the red line, the relationship between the two gray wolves has improved a lot visibly.Presumably, the relationship between the two will definitely go further in time, right?

Faced with this situation, he should feel happy.But... for some reason, at this moment, the Nengtian couldn't show a grinning smile like usual.

It must be because I just strolled around in front of the ghost gate just now, so I am a little scared because I can't laugh?

Can Angel failed to find the answer, such a meaningless guess that even she couldn't convince herself.

At this moment, Neng Angel somewhat regretted that he participated in this mission with Baihua Texas, not because he regretted being involved in the source stone radiation dust storm, but because... because of a feeling he didn't like.

"Then I'd like to ask for your guidance during the next period of distress, Bai Hua."

After pouring out all the words he wanted to say that was hidden in his heart, Texas stood up again, smiled and stretched out his right hand to Bai Hua who was sitting on the ground.

"Well, let's work hard together later...huh?"

Bai Hua also stretched out his right hand, but just as he put it on the palm of Texas, the blanket that the other party was covering outside suddenly loosened, and it slid off his body and fell to the ground.

"..."

Texas was stunned for two seconds, and then realized that his slender and fair body was exposed in front of Bai Hua with almost zero distance.

Of course, the consciousness that was done in the shower before has a shelf life. At least at this moment, Texas absolutely did not have the consciousness to show all of himself to the gray wolf.

"I didn't see anything - woo woo woo woo woo!!?"

"Go, go die...!!!"

There is still a big difference between being mentally prepared and rushing ducks to the shelves. Originally, Texas felt that it was not necessary to be honest with Baihua this time, but at this time he suddenly lost his temper, and Texas could only follow Instinctively, he tried to kill the only witness.

And seeing Bai Hua being chased like a dog by Dexus again, the heartless Neng Tian finally showed a Bengbu smile.

--------

"The bonfire can still burn for about 3,4 or [-] hours, go to bed early."

Sitting next to the bonfire, Birch with scratches and bites all over her face said to the two after taking a look at the state of the crystal coal.

"--!""sleep!"

As soon as he heard that the topic was related to sleep, Texas' ears instantly stood up like radar, and the angel of energy immediately cheered up.

I'm coming!The time has come to decide who can lie in the same bed with Bai Hua!

"Because there's only two sleeping bags—"

"Well" "And then!"

Texas's tail, which was hidden under the blanket, stood up, and the halo on the angel's head was ready to go.

"—So it's just right to take turns to sleep and watch the night. Uh, what's the matter with you two?"

"...Nothing" "Tsk, surprisingly makes sense"

Bai Hua puts forward what she thinks is the best option of 'taking turns to sleep at night', but Texas can make the expressions of the two angels make Bai Hua feel unconfident.

"I always feel that you, Bai Hua, are more like a beast, maybe you are already holding a baby by now."

"What?"

Can make angels complain, but Bai Hua is full of question marks, completely unable to understand what this high-power light bulb is talking about.

"Let me come to the first shift for the night watch"

Texas offered to hold a vigil first, but Bai Hua directly refused.

"Your cold tolerance is worse than mine. Try to sleep while the campfire is still on to preserve your body temperature."

"What about you, Bai Hua?" Neng Angel asked

"When I was in Kazdale, I used to be on guard in the middle of the night, so don't worry about me. Just let me take care of the first bat, and I will put the weapons and so on next to the tent when the shift changes."

"Then I'll be in charge of the second round, how many hours will the handover take?"

"3~4 hours, I will call you when the time comes."

Texas nodded to Bai Hua to express her understanding. After assigning the order of the night vigil, she and the angels got into the tent and closed the zipper to form a suggested "bedroom".

"Wow, it's warmer than I thought... So, how does it feel to tell the client what's in your heart, Texas?"

The energy angel got into the sleeping bag and turned into a caterpillar, and then smiled and asked Texas beside him.

"Not bad."

"Then when are you going to go further~?"

Angel Neng pretended to ask casually, but maybe even Angel Neng didn't realize it. After she asked this question, she subconsciously prayed to Texas to say "I don't have this idea".

Unfortunately, things backfired

"I... I don't know"

Texas gave such an ambiguous reply, and then turned his back to Angel, expressing that he did not want to continue this topic.

She finally plucked up the courage to express her gratitude to Bai Hua, which also represented her acknowledgment that she owed Bai Hua a 'favor'.

As for how he will repay him in the future, and how Bai Hua will view himself, these are things that Texas has not thought about yet.

Can Angel originally wanted to talk about something else, but perhaps because what happened today was too dangerous and exciting, the two got into the tent sleeping bag and soon fell into a dream.

On the edge of the rock wall outside the tent, after confirming that the two of them were asleep, Bai Hua, who had climbed to the top of the rock wall at some point, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

——Today is really a very difficult day in various senses... But at least it is not without gains.

[Protection]...Even after experiencing such a thing, do you still have the ability and qualification to protect others?

"I'm sorry, it's hard to get a chance to rest here. I hope those two can sleep well and rest—keep quiet, everyone?"

Bai Hua interrupted her thinking, got up from the edge of the cliff and whispered behind her.

On the sloping road at the top of the rock wall, several Originium worms were moving towards this side, and occasionally some medium-sized infected creatures were mixed with them.

Obviously, the infected creatures couldn't understand the words of normal people. They could only smell the smell of food, and they gradually approached this side, letting out threatening growls.

"Ha... that's right, we are the ones who came."

The 'negotiation' failed, Bai Hua sighed and raised the silent crossbow beside him, aimed at the nearest Originium worm, thinking about how to make the least noise to deal with these infected creatures attracted by the fire.

The night was quite long.
