Chapter 10: Temptation (Completion)

The scene fell silent for a moment, and Hang Xian still pushed the steamed bun towards Li Cheng, saying, "Go ahead, I sincerely invite you to eat."

Then ask her about those teammates

Háng Xiàn was taken aback, looking at the captain in disbelief. After a moment of thought, he sighed and said, "It can only be this way."

Warning, if you continue to hold this thought, you will truly be harmed

A-Shuang felt as if he had been struck on the head with a heavy blow. He dizzily looked at Xinglv's expressionless face, feeling that it was very unreal: "Why, why..."

Huang Xian shook his head: "We have not seen it with our own eyes yet; this matter can be significant or trivial, and we must not act recklessly"

This is a placeholder text.

Li Cheng, we do not wish to threaten you, but you should understand what is most important to you

Captain! Qiqing was clearly unaware of Zhang Guohua's intentions and exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this

However, Li Cheng did not speak; he lowered his head and closed his eyes, avoiding the sight of the steamed bun

Li Chengman, with his mouth full of steamed buns, hesitated and said, "Why don't you just ask her directly?"

All of this is too strange, yet one feels utterly helpless. Xinglv is clearly someone who does not speak much, and when probing her teammates indirectly, those individuals are either extremely secretive or completely clueless.

Huang Xian's expression turned serious: "What research can compare to virus research now? We need talent, a large amount of talent. The more Luo Xinglv conceals, the fewer people can be helped! Just think about it, with her capabilities, in a small team, one mission can only assist about twenty of you, but on a national level, one mission can help hundreds or even thousands!" As he spoke, he observed Li Cheng's expression, "Don't you think that's the case?"

After much deliberation, the two ultimately chose Li Cheng, who was the first to leave the survival convoy.

Li Cheng remained silent. Surviving in chaotic times, although he was impatient, he was not foolish, and he had also heard about the events that took place in the morning of the Star Journey.

Alright, ha...ha... A-Shuang smiled helplessly and went out with the long knife.

Is it possible? Can I join as well? A Shuang immediately leaned forward, his face shining with hope. Since the captain can, then he...

You

"That is fine, you can leave at any time, there is no need to follow us." Xinglv looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, "The key to walking together is not who the teammates are, but who proposed to join first; you were a step too late."

There is a high possibility, but... even those people do not dare to wander alone at night

He thought that Star Travel would deliberate for a long time, but to his surprise, Star Travel nodded without much thought and said: "Sure"

Um. Xinglv held onto his waist and continued to walk steadily towards the civilian area

Li Cheng swallowed loudly, but he did not speak. He glanced at Hang Xian and then lowered his head

The observant noticed that Li Cheng's hand trembled slightly

After eating for a while, Hang Xian suddenly said: "Are you worried that we might harm her after knowing her abilities?"

Sister, sister, here you go! Tuo Tuo stretched out his hand, holding a steamed bun, "This is from Uncle Li Cheng!"

Although Zhang Guohua only mentioned in passing to the team to try not to speak of it, this casual remark did not carry much warning significance. If someone in the team were to speak of it, there would be no cause for concern.

Zhang Guohua left after discussing the necessary preparations with Xinglv

Alas! The two sighed simultaneously

Huang Xian shook his hand and then set it down: "I understand that you have suffered too much and have long lost faith in the country, but... sigh, forget it, just finish your meal and go back to rest"

Take it out; there are several Chinese characters on it, and it took a while to understand them.

A-Shuang's complexion was pale, and the knuckles of his hand gripping the knife handle turned white. He suddenly felt a bit of hatred towards Xinglv, wondering why this woman was so rational, almost inhuman, making decisions about everything only after calculating the maximum benefit, devoid of any emotion. Oh no, perhaps Tuo Tuo was her only manifestation of sentimentality over rationality so far.

They will not pose a threat to you

This further proves that Luo Xing's abilities are quite high. Do you think we should report this?

Do you think I find it insufficient?" Li Cheng chuckled softly, shaking his head, "What do you all want?"

Suggestions for consumption, exempting non-human possibilities

No low-temperature reaction

Keqing glanced at Ashuang with some concern, then looked complexly at Xinglv. After nodding to Zhang Guohua, she followed him out.

In the observation area, the Star Traveler suddenly trembled

"Leave it to Chen Da and the others, as well as a few relatives of the picture book." After Xing Lv finished speaking, he turned around and sat down in the tent set up in the observation area

Ah, you finally have a moment when you are less clever than I am. Don't you think we should keep an eye on those who are watching us?

Xiao Zhi, shouldn't you be doing something

Why

Zhang Guohua ignored it; he felt that A Shuang's gaze was also filled with anticipation, so he looked at Xing Lü very earnestly

Upon thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy towards Tuo Tuo, who was comfortably leaning against the back of the starship, humming a tune while reading that book, Robinson Crusoe. The immense sense of security allowed him to regain a childlike exuberance; at this moment, he estimated that he was the most relaxed and carefree person in the entire base

What I need to tell you is, Li Cheng, if Xing Lv is truly an ability user, her strength can contribute greatly to the country. We will only do our utmost to protect her and will not harm her

Li Cheng nodded and said, "Her answer is my answer"

You should be able to guess our origins

No. Xinglv shook his head decisively

This text appears to be a placeholder or a non-specific input. Please provide the actual text you would like to have translated from Simplified Chinese to English.

Tuo Tuo was covered with a blanket, her head resting on her knees, curled up in the corner by the wall. Upon hearing the heavy sound of the door opening, she slightly shrank back before lifting her head. Upon seeing Xing Lü, she exclaimed joyfully, "Sister Xing Lü! You have finally arrived!"

What do you think on Earth can threaten me? Then what use do I have for you?

Having watched "Star Journey" again, he himself was unaware of how lost and pleading his expression was at that moment. However, Star Journey has never been one to easily change her decisions, and she also felt that A Shuang and Ke Qing should remain at the base. If possible, Zhang Guohua should also stay, but since he has brought it up, it does not matter.

[Prompt, this is impossible, your body is entirely constructed to resemble that of a human]

Damn, I don't have any sense of taste again

Indeed, many of those people are quite similar to us; they usually remain silent and unobtrusive, but at critical moments...

Li Cheng nodded, picked up the three steamed buns from the plate, and left without any hesitation

"Please take a seat." Hang Xian smiled as usual.

Several people murmured simultaneously, "Heaven..."

After a moment of silence in the office, Hang Xian slowly said: "In fact, looking at https://www.hetushu.com, it can mostly be confirmed, right"

It just feels suddenly cold for a moment

He paused again, wishing that Xinglv could interrupt to ask "what," but as a soldier, Xinglv had never been trained to interrupt her superior. She simply endured with utmost seriousness and respect, listening attentively.

He leaned back in his chair, lazily saying: "I have thought it over; without her, let alone steamed buns, I can't even afford the plain porridge of a commoner, hey."

Xinglv took out a few packs of biscuits: "These are for that child named Tuotuo. I know I will be staying in the observation area for a day"

The answer from Xinglv is quite simple: "A Jeep can accommodate a maximum of four people, which is the most convenient for me to protect. If there are more people, it will inevitably require more vehicles, and I would have to spread my attention even further, which is not worth it."

Li Cheng chuckled mockingly and said, "Hey, it turns out it wasn't for nothing, was it?"

Xinglv does not find it ironic to love learning; she simply feels displeased. She is already busy enough, yet Xiaozhi still expects her to read books on her own. Isn't this just overindulgence?

"Commander, do you think this Luo Xing traveler might be related to those individuals?" A captain-level officer pondered for a long time in the office before carefully articulating his words.

What? Is it not enough? This is the food supply for several people present.

"It's nothing. Although I don't quite like her, she has saved us twice." Li Cheng glanced meaningfully at those present and extended two fingers, "You know? In this world, twice..."

We are going to participate in the search team's first mission tomorrow. Zhang Guohua paused for a moment, noticing that Xing Lü was looking at him seriously, without any response, so he had to continue, "You know, participating in this mission can grant us high rewards in the near future, but..."

"Robinson Crusoe?" Starry read it seriously, and Tuo Tuo beside her heard it. Seeing the book in Starry's hand, she widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Damn, Starry, you are the most studious person I have ever seen! You're still holding a book at this time..."

Casually stuffing the book back into his pocket, Xinglv entered the tent with a steamed bun in one hand and a Tuo Tuo in the other, only to find several familiar faces already seated inside.

They certainly know who Chen Da is, and considering that the habitual offenders from the picture book did not return after going out last night, along with the current actions of Xinglv, one could easily deduce what has transpired. However, how did she manage it? How did she get out? And how did she run so far alone at night? Why does she have no desire for all the supplies in the vehicle, despite being empty-handed?

As she passed by the office area, she suddenly felt something and looked up at the floor-to-ceiling window where Hang Xian was located. Indeed, several people were standing there.

Please provide instructions

Steamed buns, which were once food that even beggars could afford in times of chaos, have now become items of temptation valued equally to gold, leaving everyone present with a faint smile of苦.

Those people are not very good, but they are unwilling to speak up. What can we do

Seeing Li Cheng evade the question and not reaching out to Mantou, Hang Xian furrowed his brow but quickly returned to his expression: "Luoxing Lv, her strength"

Tuo Tuo smiled so much that her eyes squinted: "Sister Xinglv is really well-behaved"

Zhang Guohua sat in the center of the tent with a serious expression: "Xinglv, we heard about what happened yesterday"

No way! Tuo Tuo insists, "I have known you for so long and have never seen you eat anything! Sister Xinglv, please eat!"

This time, Li Cheng was not polite; he grabbed one and began to gnaw on it. The people around watched, and although saliva was secreted, there were no objections.

The star journey could certainly not be infected. The next morning, the inner door slowly opened, revealing a small figure sitting against the wall inside.

Star Journey Result Bun, took a bite

Hang Xian took out the form filled out by Xing Lv and said: "This is already her answer."

The captain thought for a moment, feeling somewhat troubled, and said, "How about... we have dinner together?"

Li Cheng, tell me why you are unwilling to speak

Keqing approached, looking up and down at Xinglu: "Xinglu, are you hurt? Did you encounter any danger... I'm so worried!"

Xinglv is not accustomed to chewing things, holding a steamed bun in his mouth, his cheeks puffed out.

In just one day, he has become considerably listless, yet he still has no intention of leaving

Háng Xiàn was taken aback, then understood: "Are you referring to those people in the capital?"

Huang Xian took the biscuit and looked at the car filled with grain: "Then what about these..."

I can protect myself! Ashuang tightly gripped the handle of the knife

Li Cheng lifted his eyes, took another look at the steamed bun, then smiled and stretched lazily: "Luoxing Journey is indeed Luoxing Journey, quite beautiful. Just like this, I feel these words are not worth a few steamed buns. Can we leave now?"

Zhang Guohua let out a helpless sigh, lowering his head and not daring to look into Xing Lv's pure, shining eyes: "I don't know how you and Tuo Tuo view our choice from the day before yesterday, but I joined the search team because most of the convoy had already left, and it was impossible for just a few of us to venture a kilometer outside the base... However, you decided to leave the base with Tuo Tuo and that Li Zhenke. I wonder, I wonder... can I follow you? After this search mission?"

The sudden shift from two meals of compressed biscuits a day to two bowls of thin rice porridge is a disparity that few can endure

Xinglv stood silently by, and when the person by the car came to their senses, she calmly said: "This food in the car is private"

Huang Xian and several staff members looked at the truck full of rice, swallowing their saliva, casting somewhat complicated glances at the tent where the Star Journey was located

He was invited into the base commander's office, feeling quite anxious yet also a bit hopeful

Li Cheng sat awkwardly across from the desk, while several staff members, both military personnel and researchers, were seated or standing on either side of Hang Xian.

Really? Zhang Guohua was filled with surprise, "Thank you, really, thank you!"

Suddenly, something heavy appeared in the pocket. Xinglv looked down and found a book in the pocket, tightly rolled up and stuffed inside.

A-Shuang silently gazed at the starry journey from the side, without uttering a word

Forget it, it has no calories anyway. I might as well treat it like a way to amuse a child

Li Cheng chose to leave the convoy because he believed he had a special skill in repairing vehicles, but the peculiar questions related to the category of pilots in the treatment classification test left him at a loss. In the end, he only qualified for civilian treatment.

Hang Xian nodded: "Indeed, the policy is as such"

Aren't all individuals with generally special constitutions captured by you for research purposes

Huang Xian smiled and pushed a plate of steamed buns in front of Li Cheng, saying, "Are you hungry? Eat up"

I do not eat. "Xinglv shook his head and continued walking.

The obviously perfunctory attitude left those present feeling quite indignant; they had offered their rations, yet received such a response, which was truly abominable
