Chapter 58 Chapter 58
Lu Taipan is the master of the snake cave, but at the same time he is indeed a member of the Viper Warriors - the most powerful and top Viper Warrior.
In terms of rank, his rating is much higher than the second level required by the regulations.
In principle, there is really no problem for a poisonous snake warrior who fully meets the requirements to receive the escort mission and accompany Su Liang to the forty-eighth district.
But once he really faced the matter of snake master Lu Taipan receiving the escort mission, it would still be very strange to look at it.
Do you have any other questions?
Lu Taipan looked at Su Liang calmly and then asked.
No, no.
Su Liang replied subconsciously, and then got into the transport spaceship stiffly.
Strictly speaking, as an escort, Lu Taipan's professional level is indeed quite high. And as the butler said, he is really good at driving all transport equipment. Because of its simple structure and small size, the transport spacecraft is usually much more bumpy than large spacecraft during flight. However, under the operation of Lu Taipan, this transport spacecraft The sailing of the spacecraft can only be described as light and smooth. It can be said that this is the most comfortable time Su Liang has experienced in the transport spaceship.
However, this was also a disturbing time at the center of Su Liang's experience in the transport spaceship.
He originally thought that because of Lu Zhizhao's strange behavior, he would spend the whole voyage in a daze, but the reality was that, sitting in his seat, he couldn't help but distract himself and secretly pay attention to Lu Taipan, who was standing beside him.
The Lord of the Snake Cave in the driver's seat stretched out, and even in a simple transport boat, he looked unusually tall and slender. When he was looking at the screen intently, a cold blue light hit his face, making him look abnormal. Profound, that kind of astonishing beauty that is almost demonic is also becoming more and more obvious.
Also, it shouldn't be an illusion...
Su Liang could feel that someone was in a very happy mood at this time. The space in the cockpit of the transport spacecraft is small, and because of this, the presence of the pheromone slightly leaked by Alpha has become stronger. At least for Su Liang. In Lu Taipan's pheromones, the usual cold aura was much lighter, but the fiery and powerful scent of burning incense became extraordinarily strong.
Su Liang touched the back of her neck, and the skin above the glands was slightly tight.
Then, probably because Su Liang's eyes stayed on Lu Taipan for a while, the man suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Su Liang.
What's wrong?
the man asked in a low voice
nothing.
Su Liang turned around quickly and withdrew his gaze.
He held his breath and stared in front of him, his ears burning hot and his heartbeat completely uncontrollable.
Compared to Lu Taipan's composure, Su Liang felt panicked and even a little embarrassed.
The young man felt a slight dissatisfaction.
I thought it would be Xue Yinhuan or Black Mamba to pick up the task.
Su Liang suddenly opened his mouth and said thoughtlessly.
Lu Taipan looked straight ahead, his expression didn't seem to have changed at all, probably only the artificial intelligence that had been monitoring the spacecraft's condition could notice that at that moment, the force of the Lord of the Snake Cave's landing on the control lever was a little bit stronger. .
They have their own tasks. Lu Taipan said.
After a while, he solemnly added another sentence.
I am a member of the Snake Cave and a member of the Viper Warrior, and I also have the obligation to perform tasks. Under normal circumstances, if someone in the Snake Cave is in a non-executing state like me, the task distribution system will be based on the actual situation. , assign him the appropriate task.
Of course, someone kept part of the truth and didn't tell Su Liang.
As a poisonous snake warrior, the Lord of the Snake Cave is indeed obliged to perform tasks, but the last time Lu Taipan received the task was to assassinate the Emperor of Canaan and end the war between the Earth Alliance and Canaan.
Of course, even if Lu Taipan deliberately concealed many truths, Su Liang was not an idiot.
Daily tasks such as escorting, which are not even marked in the system, cannot be dispatched to the head of the snake cave no matter what.
Unless someone actively blackmails the AI system, forcing an innocent system to dispatch the task to itself.
Su Liang's lips parted slightly, just as she was about to ask, she was silent again.
Thinking of the overly candid words and deeds Lu Taipan had shown to him before, Su Liang had no doubts that if he really asked, a certain viper warrior would not hesitate to admit that he was a charitable public servant, so he took it on purpose. Task.
As for why someone does this...
Su Liang turned his face to the window and stared at the dark space outside the window with flickering eyes, but the heat on his face was quietly rising.
Su Liang was silent for a long time.
But he didn't realize that while driving, someone had been looking at him very secretly from the corner of his eye.
Seeing the young man beside him pursing his lips tightly without making a sound, the man lowered his eyes and his eyes were dark.
Perhaps it was because he was pressing too hard, causing Su Liang to feel pressured.
He still didn't find the opportunity to say the words that were originally on the tip of his tongue.
After a while, Lu Taipan suddenly heard a whisper as thin as a mosquito coming from his side.
Thank you, I'm very happy. If you were here...I'd be at ease.
When speaking, Su Liang still kept looking out the window, her ears were red.
...
For a long time, the Lord of the Snake Cave looked ahead and nodded casually.
Um.
In the dimly lit cockpit, a slight smile slowly appeared on the man's lips.
*
The time was much shorter than expected, and the transport spacecraft landed in the forty-eighth area very smoothly.
After leaving the docking area of the spacecraft, Su Liang's expression became much tense.
Without any navigation, Su Liang walked through the intricate and dilapidated alleys of District 48 with ease, walking towards the location in his memory. Lu Taipan also fell into silence at this time. The dark combat uniform almost made him completely into the night. He followed behind Su Liang like a hidden shadow.
Walking on the dimly lit and narrow path with a slight stench, Su Liang's eyes were a little dazed.
Everything is as he remembered, he thought.
What happened in the past life suddenly became very clear, as if Su Liang was still trapped here and never left.
Su Liang walked past a dilapidated building. There was only a faint light in the crack of the door, and there was a pungent smell of chemical raw materials in the air. The boy's footsteps paused slightly because of this.
Xiao Liang?
Such a small action attracted a concerned question from another person.
It's alright, I just remembered... I remembered that this kind of place was mentioned in the documents. The place we passed by was a garbage disposal plant.
Su Liang regained his senses, and then said.
He didn't explain too much, and he couldn't explain it - the basement of the small building just passed is an illegally set up garbage disposal plant. Those toxic garbage will be packaged and transported to the 48th area by other star areas, and then pass through here. Workers disassemble, separating useful electronic components and residual precious metals from discarded circuit boards.
The environment in the treatment plant is extremely harsh, and the work is full of poisonous gas, stench and gasps from surrounding colleagues due to serious illness.
Soak your hands in chemicals, and soon your nails will peel off, and so will the skin on your fingertips.
Before long, even when you leave the factory and breathe normal air, you can clearly smell a lingering stench. It was as if at work, the smell had penetrated into the body and could never be removed.
For people in other sectors, working in a place like this is probably no different from living in hell.
However, Su Liang relied on her work here to survive in the garbage dump in District 48.
Going forward, Su Liang passed a neat and simple pink tent without looking aside.
A group of handsome boys and girls were leaning against the door and joking with each other. When Su Liang appeared, they looked at Su Liang eagerly, but as Su Liang approached, those people shrank back in disinterest. , just looking at Su Liang from the corner of his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, and then exchanged looks of surprise and disappointment with each other. ;
The boy who came out of the shadows was too beautiful, and his beautiful face could almost make people absent-minded. People like this can't be their customers at all.
On the contrary, the man who followed the boy not far behind was even more exciting.
The man's face was completely hidden behind the helmet, but just looking at that figure made one drool.
Outsiders?
A daring boy suddenly stopped in front of Lu Taipan, and the boy said to the man with a smile.
There's nothing fun to do around here, sir, would you like to come and spend some time with us?
After speaking, the young man slanted a glance at Su Liang who was not far away, and the smile on the corner of his mouth stiffened.
Compared with his face, he is very self-aware, and compared with the man next to the man, he is really incomparable.
but……
With his keen eye for living in the forty-eighth district for many years, the teenager didn't have too many concerns about Su Liang's existence.
It was a beta, and the man behind him was a very high-level Alpha. No matter how you look at it, the two should be just fellow travelers or mission partners.
Thinking of this, the teenager does not have any psychological barriers.
Seeing the Alpha retreating silently, he only felt that the business was about to run away, so he unbuttoned himself in front of the other party, exposing most of his chest.
The young man began to lean weakly towards Lu Taipan's direction.
Anyway, you're fine, come and play, it doesn't matter...
Then, someone raised his hand and gently pushed him back to his original position.
Feel sorry.
Su Liang frowned.
We don't have time.
he said.
Immediately after him, was Alpha's voice without the slightest undulation.
My time is very precious, and there is no way to waste it on other things. After speaking, the man turned his head and seemed to glance at Su Liang, And some people will be unhappy.
Su Liang: ...
Let's go.
Su Liang took a deep breath and said.
At this time, almost everyone in the Pink House turned their attention.
The young man who was soliciting business blushed for a while, and wrapped his shirt tightly in angrily.
What are you doing, since the two of you have one leg, what are you doing when you walk? Are you having fun here? Tsk, waste my time-
In the youth's curse, Su Liang hesitated for a moment, then, he lowered his eyes and quietly held the man's hand.
Then, step by step, he quickly left the area.
In fact, he didn't have the slightest malice towards those in the Pink House. In places like the Forty-eighth District, low-level Omegas and Betas were indeed having a hard time. He was a newcomer at the time, and he was almost brought in there. Fortunately, the landlord rescued him later, otherwise his fate might be worse than the reality. After such a period of experience, Su Liang knew better than anyone that even the people in the pink house had unspeakable difficulties.
Attracting customers is their survival skill.
But tonight, for some unknown reason, the person who found the pink house greeted Lu Taipanshi.
Su Liang unexpectedly began to feel uncomfortable.
Even... a little bit angry. It's just that even he couldn't tell whether this anger was directed at him, the boy, or Lu Taipan.
The boy has a scar on the back of his neck.
Lu Taipan suddenly spoke beside Su Liang.
I didn't dodge in time just to make sure of this. He held Su Liang's hand firmly and said sincerely, I'm sorry, I won't dare in the future.
