Wasteland Love Game

Chapter 286 280. I'm Just an Ordinary Knight
Chu Jianlai meditated alone in the depths of the Holy Land. The breath from his nasal cavity was heavy and full of rhythm, as if every breath was affecting everything in the world.

In the eyes of others, this man was just sitting on a piece of burnt-out scorched ground, motionless like a stone statue.But Chu Jianlai could feel that the invisible energies around him were gradually gathering towards him.

These energies gather from the air and from the ground, like children who have not returned home after dark, scrambling towards the core of the earth, eagerly looking for a destination that can accommodate them.

Even though the physical damage had been completely repaired, Chu Jianlai felt extremely painful all over his body, and every inch of his muscles seemed to be burned by flames.And his heart is so hot that it seems to be melting, presumably because the core of the earth is forcibly absorbing this huge energy and backlash.

He knew he couldn't get up and move yet, because he needed to concentrate on absorbing the energy leaking from the nuclear reactor.If there is a slight mistake in the middle, the core of the earth may be overloaded and short-circuited, and he may suffer backlash and die.

Chu Jianlai endured the pain all over his body, and waited in this empty holy place.He didn't know how long time had passed, maybe it had been a day and a night, maybe a year had passed, it didn't matter to him, all he could do now was to continue to sit on the spot and refine energy.

Suddenly, Chu Jianlai felt that the pain in his whole body became much lighter, and he didn't know whether it was because the surrounding energy had been completely absorbed by the core of the earth, or he had gotten used to the pain.

"Zizi!" Suddenly there was a strange sound in Chu Jianlai's chest, which seemed to be the sound of mechanical parts running.

Chu Jianlai felt a slight pain in his heart. It turned out that a few tiny mechanical tentacles protruded from the core of the earth and broke out from his chest.

These mechanical tentacles kept waving in midair, as if they wanted to say something to Chu Jianlai.

"What are you going to tell me?" Chu Jianlai realized that the core of the earth wanted to talk to him, so he grabbed a tattered iron plate from the ground and moved it in front of the mechanical tentacles.

After the mechanical tentacles danced a few times, only a "hook" symbol was carved on the iron plate.

"Have you almost absorbed it?" Chu Jianlai looked at the words on the iron plate and asked tentatively.

The mechanical tentacles carved a few more times on the iron plate. This time, they drew two points and an arc. When combined, it looked like a childish smiling face, which seemed to be the expression of Chu Jianlai's guess. affim.

Chu Jianlai put down the iron plate, and the mechanical tentacles retracted into his chest again, and were soon covered by the self-healing skin.

Due to the high temperature baptism, all the clothes on Chu Jianlai's body were burned away, so he lowered his head and checked his body to see if there was any change after absorbing the nuclear radiation energy.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that my body is stronger than before." Chu Jianlai looked at his strong but not bloated male body, and couldn't help sighing.

Chu Jianlai obviously felt that his physique and strength had become stronger, but unfortunately, this world did not have a complete cultivation system, so he did not know to what extent he had become stronger now.

He really wants to find a place to test his strength now, but before that, he still has urgent matters to do.

Chu Jianlai is the most critical part of the plan. He has been stranded in the Holy Land for so long, and now he must go to Baiyun Palace to join the planner.

"I don't know what's going on outside. The people in this city will kill me even if they unblock the nuclear reactor. They must have been pushed to the point of desperation."

Chu Jianlai looked up at the scorched ceiling, and strode out.

He walked back to the Holy Land Square, where the soldiers of the special execution unit whose mechanical prosthetic bodies had been severed by him were lying here and there.

These special soldiers basically had their mechanical arms and legs cut off, they couldn't escape at all, and there was no reinforcements to rescue them, so they could only wave their severed limbs and move around on the ground like a group of helpless bugs.

None of their complexions looked very good, and they looked half-dead, probably because they were affected by nuclear radiation.

Even though Chu Jianlai stopped the leak of nuclear radiation in time and absorbed the leaked radiation almost, some radiation still sneaked out, causing considerable damage to these people in the Holy Land Square.

Fortunately, even the organs of these soldiers have undergone mechanical transformation, and their body metabolism and self-healing ability are beyond ordinary people.Even if they have suffered this level of nuclear radiation, it is not enough to kill them completely.

"You, you can come out alive?!" A soldier with a broken mechanical limb saw Chu Jianlai appear, and his pale face suddenly became panicked.

"That's right, I'm back from hell." Chu Jianlai looked at the soldier, his eyes were as calm and deep as the surface of still water:
"From now on, I will be your king."

Hearing this, the soldier fell silent.None of the other soldiers dared to talk to Chu Jianlai, they just lay down on the ground and said nothing.

"Brother Chu, it's great that you came out." Suddenly, Chu Jianlai heard a weak female voice coming from the corner of the square.

Chu Jianlai followed the voice, but found that it was Setia curled up in the corner to greet him.

However, compared to these soldiers who had broken mechanical prosthetic limbs, Setia looked in worse condition, and it was even difficult to feel the breath of "life" from her.

Her whole body's skin was as pale as paper, with no trace of blood visible, and her limbs continued to tremble like convulsions.Her face was obviously haggard, and her eyes were constantly shaking, as if she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep in the next moment.

The most notable thing is that there are several pools of yellow and green vomit on the ground beside her, which should have been vomited out by her just now, obviously confirming that the nuclear radiation has begun to damage her bodily functions.

Chu Jianlai frowned, didn't care about those soldiers anymore, but ran to Setia quickly, and asked in a deep voice:
"Why are you still here?"

Although there was eager concern in Chu Jianlai's words, more of them were puzzled questions.

As the princess of Sky City, Setia has naturally enjoyed many advanced mechanical transformations, and her physical fitness is far better than ordinary people.But compared with the soldiers of these special execution units, her physique is still far worse.

However, these special soldiers were weakened by the leaked nuclear radiation, and the spoiled princess would naturally suffer even more.

Seeing that she was about to die like a candle in the wind, Chu Jianlai almost asked directly, "Are you going to die?"

"I have made an agreement with Mr. Planner." Setia shook her head slightly, and replied with unsteady breath:
"I will wait here for you to come out and escort you to Baiyun Palace."

"Nonsense." Chu Jianlai stretched out his hand to cover his face, with helplessness written all over his face:

"You look like this, are you escorting me or am I escorting you?"

"But I agreed to the plan. And I want to help Brother Chu." Setia buried her head in her chest with some grievances, and looked a little weaker.

"It's really messing things up." Chu Jianlai stretched out his hand to Setia angrily, trying to help her up:
"Let's get out of here first, and I'll take you to treatment."

Setia also held Chu Jianlai's hand with interest.But just as she tried to stand up, her eyes suddenly went dark, and her stomach felt overwhelming pain.

"Woo..." She plopped down on the ground, clutching her chest and retching heart-rendingly, her small face almost wrinkled together.

Every time she vomited, bile, a paste mixed with engine oil and food would spray out of her mouth and nose, as if she wanted to spit out her own internal organs.

"Is it already this serious?" Seeing this situation, Chu Jianlai half squatted down to support Setia's shoulders, and said to himself.

Seeing this situation, the special soldiers next to him showed solemn eyes in unison.

"She has long been hopeless, and will soon die due to radiation distortion." A special soldier seemed to remind Chu Jianlai out of good intentions:

"After the explosion in the Holy Land just now, the health device in my body detected that the radiation content here has reached a level that would kill ordinary people. The princess has persisted until now just to see you."

"Your bodies have been mechanically transformed, and Setia's body has also been mechanically transformed, so why are you all right?" Chu Jianlai asked in a deep voice, his tone becoming a little impatient.

"We have all been transformed to prevent radiation, and we have used mechanical organs to improve the metabolism in our bodies, so we can still survive such strong radiation." The soldier replied:

"The princess's transformation is not as much as ours, and it's basically a battle transformation. The amount of radiation just now is enough to kill her."

"But she is about to die in front of you, but you seem indifferent." Chu Jianlai frowned and asked:

"She is the princess you serve. Since you understand her physique, didn't you persuade her to escape here?"

"Sorry, we only obey the king. From the moment the princess defected, she was our enemy." The special soldier glanced at her and replied in an official tone.

"." Chu Jianlai shook his head thoughtfully, then turned his attention to Setia.

Setia seemed to have vomited out all the contents of her stomach, and gasped heavily on the ground.

"What they said is true, are you almost unable to hold on?" Chu Jianlai simply picked up Setia and asked softly.

"I'm sorry I'm stupid and weak, causing trouble to Brother Chu." Setia lay in Chu Jianlai's arms, trying to force a smile on her pale face:
"It's obvious that I want revenge, but I can't do anything except hold back."

"You should leave the Holy Land when you feel unwell, instead of waiting for me at the same place." Chu Jianlai touched Setia's cheek, but he couldn't feel the temperature of a normal human being from the skin, and a smile appeared between his brows. A little impetuous:
"Since you are the one who wants revenge, you should take care of yourself first!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm too useless, and I have to add trouble to Brother Chu at this time." Chu Jianlai's words sounded a little aggressive, and Setia was so scared that she quickly apologized pitifully, and her face became even uglier. up:
"But I...I think...Brother Chu has already experienced such a tragic thing, if there is no one who is willing to wait for him here...would it be too pitiful?"

"Have I experienced tragic things?" Chu Jianlai raised his eyebrows.

"Well, you have told me everything about the plan. You want to seek revenge for the extermination of the clan from the Plutocrat Federation." Setia said weakly:
"Obviously Brother Chu has suffered such a tragedy, but I don't know anything about it. I said so many willful things to Brother Chu, and even made unreasonable demands on you. I... I am very guilty"

Chu Jianlai looked at the girl in his arms without saying a word, without any emotion in his eyes.

"I really want to help Brother Chu, but I know I'm useless, so all I can do is wait for you here. Taking you to Baiyun Palace is the only thing I can do." Setia's voice trembled said.It seems that because she knows that she will not live long, her words seem to come from the bottom of her heart:
"Brother Chu, I have always admired you since before. But I couldn't help Brother Chu until the end, even taking you to Baiyun Palace. I am so useless."

"Stop it, even if you keep repeating that you are useless, what should have happened has already happened." Chu Jianlai shook his head, as if he was impatient with Setia's dying words.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chu, I'm talking too much nonsense." Setia glanced sadly, her pupils had already begun to slacken slightly:
"But consider it my willful request, can brother Chu satisfy my last request?"

"What request?" Chu Jianlai asked in a low voice.

"Can I call you 'Brother Jianlai' at the end?" Setia asked tentatively:

"Although Brother Chu thinks this name is disgusting, but"

"Call it, whatever you want." Chu Jianlai looked indifferent.

Hearing this, Setia's face seemed to relax a lot, and she couldn't help showing a comfortable smile.Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, as if she had exhausted all her strength, she uttered this sentence, which might be the last sentence she could say in this life:

"Brother Jianlai. I like you. I always hope that you can come to Sky City to be my son-in-law!"

For a moment, the time in the Holy Land Square seemed to have fallen into dead silence.The soldiers lying on the ground also turned their heads, feeling sorry for the princess.

"I refuse." However, Chu Jianlai patted Setia's cheek lightly, and said nonchalantly:

"According to the current situation, I will become the king, so I probably can't be your son-in-law. I can only let you be my queen."

"Hey brother Jianlai, are you still joking at this time?" Setia was frightened by Chu Jianlai's inexplicable answer, but she had no extra strength to refute, so she could only laugh wearily:

"That's right, after all, I'm already dying. Brother Jianlai wants me to die happily?"

"Who said you would die?" Chu Jianlai shook his head, still resting his palm on Setia's cheek, rubbing her skin lightly:

"I probably already have a way to save you."

"What did you say?! The princess has been exposed to lethal radiation for so long, even the king's doctor can't save her!" The special soldiers next to her were shocked and couldn't help asking:
"Could it be... do you know medical skills?"

"I'm not a doctor, and I don't know medical skills." Chu Jianlai shook his head lightly, but a trace of determination gradually emerged in his eyes:
"I'm just an ordinary knight, wanting to save those who need to be saved."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Jianlai continued to place one palm on Setia's cheek, and put the other hand on her lower abdomen, and closed his eyes, showing a concentrated expression.

"The core of the earth, have you detected how much radiation is left in her body?" Chu Jianlai asked in a low voice:

"There is also the necrotic flesh and blood in her body, can you also help me suck it away?"

There was a mechanical "squeak" sound with pitch changes coming from Chu Jianlai's chest, as if to say "no problem" to him.

In fact, Chu Jianlai was a little anxious when he first saw Setia's appearance.After all, this Lengtouqing princess is still his little fan girl, if she dies, it will inevitably make him feel guilty.

Fortunately, Chu Jianlai suddenly thought of the ability of the core of the earth.It can not only absorb radiation, but also absorb the flesh and blood of living things and convert it into energy, so even people who are severely infected by radiation should have the possibility of being saved.

Therefore, Chu Jianlai hugged Setia and stroked her cheek just now, in fact, he asked the core of the earth to check her body and formulate an effective treatment plan through physical contact.

As the core of the earth began to operate, Chu Jianlai felt an indescribable illusory energy flowing out of Setia's body, flowing along Chu Jianlai's arm into his heart.And Setia lay peacefully in his arms, her whole body twitching slightly from time to time, as if a weak electric current passed through her body.

Ten minutes later, Chu Jianlai opened his eyes wearily, and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead:
"Using the core of the earth to treat diseases is really tiring, and it's still too much to let it do such delicate work."

Chu Jianlai moved his hands away from Setia's body and put her on the ground, at the same time announcing the end of the treatment.

Soon, a healthy rosy color reappeared on Setia's cheeks, and she slowly opened her eyes.

After hesitating for five seconds, she stood up in surprise.She soon realized that her body was much lighter and her dizziness and vomiting were gone.

"Why can't I feel the pain anymore?" Setia turned around, with a happy expression on her face: "Brother Jianlai, you really cured me?"

"This is already the limit of what I can do. You still need to rest and recuperate." Chu Jianlai looked extremely tired, obviously just now:

"This time it's because I happened to be there, don't be so stupid next time, I can't come to rescue you every time."

"Hey brother Jianlai is too ruthless!" Setia stuck out her tongue mischievously.Then she suddenly remembered something, her face suddenly turned red, she covered her cheeks with her hands guiltily, and began to think:
"Damn it, brother Jianlai said it earlier if he could cure me. I said so many embarrassing things just now, and my tears were for nothing! Besides, I was vomiting and convulsing just now. Oh, oh, oh, so embarrassing It's so embarrassing to be seen by brother Jianlai, how embarrassing! I won't be able to get married in the future!"

Looking at the princess girl who became lively again, Chu Jianlai laughed easily, folded his arms and asked, "How long have I been in the Holy Land?"

"Probably about a day." Setia thought for a while, and quickly returned to a serious state, and replied:
"The commotion outside should be turned upside down by now, Brother Jianlai, hurry up and leave!"

"That's exactly what I meant." Chu Jianlai nodded slightly, and then ordered hesitantly: "Also, don't call me 'Brother Jianlai', it's a little bit."

"Slightly slightly~ No, you clearly promised me! I'm going to call it that!" Perhaps because she almost experienced a life-and-death parting, Setia became more courageous, showing a mischievous smirk:

"Brother Jianlai! You just said that you want me to be your queen, are you serious? Brother Jianlai actually likes me, right?"

"Of course it was a casual joke, I just wanted to stabilize your mood." Chu Jianlai quickly turned his head and flatly denied it.

"Eh? Brother Jianlai doesn't count what he says!" Setia puffed up her cheeks, looking a little unhappy.

"You just said that you regretted being too willful before, but you didn't reflect on it at all?" Chu Jianlai couldn't bear the little girl's willfulness, so he had to find an excuse to perfunctory:
"If you want to talk about marriage, wait for me to finish what I need to do. Before that, I don't want to talk about romance."

"Then I'll help you blow up the chaebol federation together!" Setia approached Chu Jianlai with an expectant smile on her lips:
"So can I stay by your side now?"

Chu Jianlai stared at Setia for a while, then nodded: "As long as you don't make trouble for me, it's fine as you like."

As soon as the words fell, Setia hugged Chu Jianlai excitedly, rejoicing like a naive child:

"Great, brother Jianlai is my favorite!"

　I'm sorry, I'm really in a bad state recently, and I'm very busy with my studies.Every day I think about "codewords after I'm busy", but as a result, I have a headache when I study, and I'm not in the mood. Pain from staring at document screens all the time.During this period of time, I was actually thinking about coding every day, but maybe it was because of too much pressure that I didn't want to do anything.In the past two days, my condition has improved slightly, but I have not fully recovered.

　　I’m really sorry for the inconvenience caused to readers during this period. I don’t even want to type the leave slips anymore. I think it’s better to just type out a day-by-day instead of a month.The only promise I can make to readers is that I will never be a eunuch, but it doesn't mean that I will babble for too long before typing.I still have a few days to finish the final exam. After I finish my work, I will push myself and try to speed up the update time until 4k a day.
