Liang Xian is very anxious these days, he neither wants to die nor sacrifice his companions. But no one knows what the next post-apocalyptic world will look like, he can’t even make preparations.
He wants to increase his knowledge reserve, he has to read all kinds of books, maybe he’ll be able to use them someday. Also, have to observe the members of the interest group to see who is more suitable to become a member of their team, and also worry about Tan Yan, such a dedicated person like him, he really worried that he’ll do something stupid when the time comes.
Now Liang Xian can only keep praying that the ‘void’ will come a little bit later, or that the research team will find the cause of the ‘void’ as soon as possible. Only in this way can the problem be solved from the source.
Tan Yan is quite at ease, many years of experience allow him to understand the truth that ‘if it’s a blessing, then it’s not a disaster, and if it’s a disaster, then it cannot be avoided’. It is useless to worry about it now. Maybe when the time comes, they will enter a very simple different world, and the student who enter together immediately awaken their abilities?
During this waiting period, he and Qin Li followed Ah San to get vaccinated. Tan Yan was born too early, and it was not popular to get so many vaccines at that time, while Qin Li simply because his parents ignored him and left him to the countryside grandparents, and the grandparents didn’t understand anything, and raised children in the way of the older generation. There is no such idea at all.
After finishing all the vaccinations available, Ah San said with a sad face: “I hope the next world will not be the formation of a post-apocalyptic because of any sudden virus, if it’s really this kind of post-apocalyptic, we can’t do anything about it.”
Qiao Zhixue and the rest of the research team went to investigate the tombstones. Except for giving lectures to the students in the interest group every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, he was usually too busy to see anyone, and didn’t know what was discovered.
In the absence of Qiao Zhixue, the task of pacifying the students in the interest group was left to Ah San. The boring lectures on quantum mechanics have made many students doubt whether enrolling in this interest group is useful. Ah San has heard that many students want to withdraw from the group.
Unfortunately, by now, it’s not something they can back out of if they want to.
Once Liang Xian got busy, he had no time to help Tan Yan with his homework. Fortunately, the lesson plans he left before were detailed enough for Tan Yan to study by himself for a long time. He studied independently daily and saw the other three practicing continuously for the next time they entered the ‘void’. There is a swimming pool in the school. Ah San soaks in the water almost every day, the skin is almost wrinkled, and called it being close to the water. Qin Li went around looking for people to spar with, no, he was dedicated to being beaten to enhance the body’s defensive power. Liang Xian is busy, and every time he sees the two of them exercise, he can’t help but scoff.
Liang Xian thinks that at this stage, they should focus on training their consciousness, tossing until everything is in disorder1亂七八糟 luàn qī bā zāo: everything in disorder; in a hideous mess; at sixes and sevens., memorize the questions to enhance their memory is more practical.
But Ah San and Qin Li have their own opinions. They feel that their power usage is different from Liang Xian’s, and should be trained in different ways.
Qiao Zhixue also believes that everyone has their own suitable exercise methods. The research team’s understanding of consciousness is too low at this stage. Instead of developing the brain indiscriminately, it is better to let everyone practice casually.
Seeing that everyone is preparing for the next operation, Tan Yan also has a sense of urgency.
Liang Xian told him to combine work and rest, and not to read textbooks every day, because his mind would become confused if he studied too much. He studied, exercised, and attended classes strictly following the schedule Qiao Zhixue had set for himself, but when it was time for free activities, Tan Yan didn’t know what to do.
He also wants to exercise his consciousness like everyone else. Tan Yan feels that if he is stronger, the survival rate of everyone in the next world will be higher. But he didn’t know how to exercise better, so he asked Qiao Zhixue, but Qiao Zhixue said that Tan Yan didn’t need to practice, just think about how to arrange the new team members in the future is already good.
In the end, it was Liang Xian who gave Tan Yan his opinion amid his busy schedule: “Why don’t you read more novels or anime? You can also play games if you really don’t know what to do.”
Tan Yan: “…”
When their time is so tight, and everyone is working hard, is it really good for him to play?
“I think for you, these activities can’t be considered playing,” Liang Xian said, “Your brain is more active than all of us, and your consciousness is a bit stronger, just lacking some… ideas. Take the three of us as an example, what we like and what we are good at, our abilities will tend to be in that direction. Your power is very strong, but it seems that there is no clear direction. It is the kind of project that is strong in all aspects but has no outstanding aspect. At this time, cultivating interest is actually better than exercising like a headless fly.”
Simply put, it is to relax and do more what’s interesting for him.
Liang Xian would say this, one, because he really thought it might be helpful, and two, he hoped that Tan Yan could relax a bit. Through contact, Liang Xian found that Tan Yan lived like a medieval ascetic, except for study and tasks, no hobbies and interests, it was too sad to live like this.
Following Liang Xian’s advice, Tan Yan bought a set of classic martial arts novels to read.
He seems to enjoy reading these novels and often forgets to eat because of reading novels. Liang Xian found out twice, so he set an alarm clock on Tan Yan’s phone, only reading it for two hours a day, the alarm would remind Tan Yan if the time was exceeded.
“It’s really interesting.” Tan Yan said slightly excitedly to Liang Xian, “Do you think the martial arts here are real?”
While speaking, he also made sword gestures in the air with his fingers, and even jumped up when he was excited, like a big boy addicted to the world of martial arts.
Already this big and still… Liang Xian shook his head when he thought of this, Tan Yan isn’t a big boy, although he took on unbearable responsibilities too early, but he is actually still very young, and his face looks more tender than himself.
“As for whether martial arts are true or not… it is false to ordinary people, but for us, we have long been able to do things that are more exaggerated than those described in the book.” Liang Xian replied.
“That’s right,” Tan Yan shook his head while holding the book, “But the story here is really good.”
He can’t describe the feat of ‘chivalrous and courageous’ in words, he can only describe it with pale words such as ‘good’ and ‘very good’, but this does not affect Tan Yan’s fondness in the slightest.
“Interesting is interesting, but it’s time to eat, put down the book.” In order to control Tan Yan’s work and rest, Liang Xian and Tan Yan move together.
When Tan Yan studied, Liang Xian meditated beside him with his eyes closed and tried various brain activities to exercise his willpower. When Tan Yan was exercising, Liang Xian was his training partner. Tan Yan was first-rate in skill, and Liang Xian was not bad at all. Excluding the influence of supernatural powers, the two were evenly matched when they spar. When Tan Yan was reading, Liang Xian studied extracurricular knowledge, desperately studying mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, trying to remember as many material structures as possible.
Coupled with the fact that the two of them slept on the same bed at night because of Liang Xian’s previous excuse, the two of them are almost inseparable these days, almost sticking together.
Among the people in the dormitory, Qin Li was obsessed with being beaten, and he knew that Liang Xian was training with Tan Yan, so he didn’t think much about it.
The rest of the people watched with cold eyes as Liang Xian, and the transfer students got closer and closer. While biting a lollipop, Cui Heyu looked at the two who climbed into bed at the same time, and couldn’t help but say: “You two, should you pay attention to the influence?”
He was also suffocated. In the beginning, a transfer student came in out of nowhere, and the transfer student always ran out in the middle of the night. Then he joined a useless interest group, and changed the dormitory because of it. After changing the dormitory, there were more people running out in the middle of the night, Qin Li and Liang Xian.
After the military training, Qin Li and Liang Xian obviously became closer to Tan Yan. Obviously, they were all classmates who grew up together, but a dormitory was split into two groups. Those three were mysterious all day long, don’t know what they are busy with.
And because of the confidentiality agreement, they can’t even ask questions.
Hearing Cui Heyu’s words, Liang Xian’s body stiffened slightly.
Through the understanding these days, Liang Xian knew that Tan Yan’s thinking was straighter than the national flag pole, not only that, but he had no awareness that the same sex could be together in his mind. Liang Xian once asked tentatively, and the answer he got was that getting married and having children is a matter of course, that is, you can’t harm a girl from a good family if you suffocate alone all your life.
From the beginning to the end, not even the idea of same-sex can be tried, which is more hopeless than homophobia.
If it were someone else, Liang Xian might be able to put more effort into his confession, at least to disturb Tan Yan’s heart. But Liang Xian knew better than anyone else that Tan Yan’s consciousness was so strong that it could influence other people’s thinking. He was really afraid that after he confessed, under the influence of Tan Yan’s strong consciousness, even he would be affected and think that this was wrong.
After thinking about it for a long time, Liang Xian decided to subtly influence Tan Yan first, let Tan Yan get used to his intimacy, and then slowly let him accept it.
For example, men help each other or something, and after helping each other, there will be feelings.
He planned well, but unfortunately, the people around him couldn’t bear to see it.
Faced with Cui Heyu’s questioning, Liang Xian was a little at a loss. No matter how smart he is, he is only a nineteen-year-old boy, and he will worry about gains and losses when facing the first object of his heart.
On the contrary, Tan Yan answered with a straight face: “The other day, Liang Xian was sick, right? I am also worried that he will get sick again, sharing a bed is convenient for taking care of him. In addition, my grades are not good. Liang Xian is the best in the class. I begged him to help me with tutoring.”
After speaking, he showed an exceptionally pure smile, which made everyone around him feel unbearable.
They were all from the same class, all male, at first, it was more like a class rather than a grade. In junior high school, there were more than 200 students in their special class, and they were still in adolescence, some of their classmates awakened to a different sexual orientation. Qiu Qizhen has contact with people of diverse sexual orientation, he knows what it means to really like a man. For someone like Tan Yan, he probably doesn’t have the slightest meaning in that aspect, and Liang Xian is still trying to seduce him.
Really don’t know whether it is better to sympathize with Tan Yan, who may be led astray, or Liang Xian, who has wasted a lot of thought.
Cui Heyu twitched the corners of his lips, revealing a fake smile, “Then do as you said, don’t blame me for not reminding you in the future.”
Remind what? Tan Yan was puzzled for a moment, but still politely said, “Thank you”.
Everyone: “…”
Always feel that this person does not live in the same time and space as them, it is particularly difficult to communicate.
“Cui Heyu,” Seeing that everyone in the dormitory was there, and that Cui Heyu looked of suffocation, Liang Xian simply jumped off the bed and said: “Are you really curious these days, about what happened to the three of us during the military training, and what did we do that night?”
It has been two months since the military training, and people in B City put on sweaters one after another, and began to prepare for the cold winter. Everyone tacitly never mentioned this matter, but they didn’t expect Liang Xian to talk about it today.
Tan Yan and Qin Li also couldn’t help looking at Liang Xian, don’t understand what he wanted to do.
“It’s okay.” Liang Xian waved his hand at them, “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time these days. To be honest, instead of asking Qiao Zhixue and Ah San to choose someone from a group of students they don’t know at all, it’s better for us to take the initiative to choose. Originally, as the parties involved, we had the right to choose, and Tan Yan was the main force. No one can ignore our opinions. They can’t refuse the people we choose.”
“You want to choose the three people in our dormitory?” Qin Li reacted quickly, and immediately understood Liang Xian’s intentions.
“I didn’t choose randomly, I’ve been considering it for a long time.” Liang Xian explained, “In the interest group, the third-year and fourth-year students are stronger than us, they also have better professional knowledge. Under extreme conditions, their survival rate must be higher than that of the new students. But we work as a team, if we really bring them in, we have to re-adjust, and everyone has a competitive spirit. They are originally stronger than us. Once there is a situation where they refuse to admit defeat and want to be the first, in that environment, they are basically courting death. Why don’t we just bring people we are familiar with, the degree of cooperation is higher, they also know something about our affairs, signed a non-disclosure agreement and didn’t know how to think wildly in private every day, it’s better to tell them directly.”
What he said made a lot of sense, and the other two began to think about the possibility Liang Xian said, but Cui Heyu said with an unbearable face: “I’m just as competitive when I’m with you, and who are you showing your lofty appearance to?”
Liang Xian did show the aura of ‘I am a hundred million more than you guys’ in front of them. Qiu Qizheng and Yan Yongfeng couldn’t bear it, let alone Cui Heyu, who had been at odds with him in the first place.
“Liang Xian, have you thought it through?” Tan Yan said seriously, “Once we really can’t protect them, when it’s time to give up, can you bear it?”
To put it more cruelly, in such a situation, it is far easier to abandon the student who has little contact with each other than the classmates who have been with each other for more than ten years.
“I’ve thought about it,” Liang Xian also replied seriously, “I think this kind of feeling may become an opportunity, because we want to protect our brothers, we will work harder, teach more diligently, and have a higher survival rate. Qin Li, protecting a stranger, or protecting your own injured classmate, which one will you work harder on?”
Qin Li was silent for a moment before answering: “If the mission requires it, I will do my best to protect irrelevant strangers. But if it’s a classmate who needs to be protected, I will do my best to do so. If it weren’t you in my arms that day, I probably wouldn’t have made it to one thousand five hundred meters.”
Liang Xian: “…”
Can we not mention this matter first? He has tried to erase this memory from his mind as much as possible!
Cui Heyu couldn’t stand it after listening to these three people for a long time, and asked directly: “No, Liang Xian, you not only shared the same bed with Tan Yan, but you were also hugged by Qin Li?”
Liang Xian: “…”
The author has something to say:
Liang Xian: I regretted it, if Cui Heyu went, I might not be able to resist expressing personal vendetta and using the end times to murder people. _(:з」∠)_
LoL Liang Xian instantly regrets recruiting Cui Heyu…
While this chapter is quite long, around 2.9k, the next one is short, only around 1.7k, so it will be uploaded shortly after this.
