The End of the Earth

Chapter 232: Hope for Inheritance

The locked door of the lounge could not block out the heavy breathing of the men and women inside.

After more than an hour, the two ended their long battle.

Helen's face was flushed and she was sweating profusely. She looked at Xiang San in surprise as he was packing his backpack without a trace of fatigue, and asked stutteringly:

"You are a terrible man!"

Xiang San turned around and smiled, handed the cigarette he had just lit to Helen and asked with a smile: "Do you know how to smoke?"

Helen took a look at the cigarette and frowned slightly. Obviously she didn't like the smell of cigarettes. She didn't answer but just shook her head.

Seeing this, Xiang San put out the cigarette he had just lit and put it back into the cigarette box.

"I've already delved into this. Now, may I ask you why you're in charge of the lives and deaths of these hundreds of people?"

Helen was sweating all over and was wiping the sweat from her face and neck with her small handkerchief.

Xiang San took out a long white bath towel from the black space bag and threw it to her. Helen took the towel doubtfully and wiped the sweat off her face happily.

As she wiped it, she said, “It’s because of you, and it’s also because of my father.

He taught and trained me from a young age how to be a warrior and a leader.

The people here need me, that’s all.”

Xiang San looked at Helen, her appearance, thinking over her words, and the scars on her face that were left by the burns.

“Helen, if… you want to leave here, I can take you away and live a better life.

Although it's not my style, I can make an exception."

When Helen heard Xiang San's words, she threw the towel in her hand at Xiang San and asked:

"Abandon the people in the shelter? I really didn't expect you to say such a thing, Xiang San?

You bastard! "

Xiang San took back the bath towel, and the huge towel disappeared again into a small pocket on Xiang San's waist. This scene made Helen realize that she was not mistaken.

"Are you sure? No regrets?

You know, being favored by me is something many people dream of."

Helen didn't hesitate at all, rolled her eyes at Xiang San and said softly:

"Stop saying things like that, my hero~

This will subvert the image of you that I have built in my mind. I love you, but compared to this love, I now have a responsibility.

I will not abandon my people to die in this damn place. I am the only one who knows where the supply depots left by the Molva military are and how to unlock them.

Don't think that I am yours just because I have sex with you.

You're not the first man I've touched."

Xiang San smiled in relief, picked up the unfinished water and drank it all, saying: "I can feel that your fighting power is indeed very strong, my little Helen~

Sorry, I take back my invitation. It was very rude to you."

Helen smiled shyly and then immediately regained her uninhibited expression and said:

"It's okay, I know you mean well.

Are you going to stay in the shelter for a while?"

Xiang San pursed his lips and shook his head: "Leave immediately. The hope of this shelter is you, not me."

In fact, during the more than one hour of exercise just now, he had already searched most of the surface of Jia City with black magic particles.

It was discovered that there were other creatures, humans, people from other worlds, and monsters.

When Helen heard that Xiang San was about to leave, her expression changed slightly. She didn't expect Xiang San to leave just after arriving.

Xiang San saw that she was unhappy, so he hugged her tightly and said softly: "You and I have our own worlds, I am just a traveler passing by."

Xiang San's eyes were slightly blue, which was difficult to detect without careful observation.

At the gate of the shelter, Helen and her group watched Xiang San's figure disappear in the distance.

The sky was gloomy and the humidity in the air began to rise, mixed with the fishy smell of soil and an inexplicable stench.

After the shelter's gates were completely closed, Helen's subordinates curiously asked, "Captain Helen? Is he really that Xiang San?"

Helen said coldly as always: "Yes, it's him."

Another subordinate quickly followed up and asked, "Then why don't you invite him to stay in the shelter?

With people like this around, the monsters in other blocks of Jia City are no longer a problem!

Could it be that he is not satisfied with Commander Helen's skills..."

Helen suddenly turned her head and stared at the subordinate and scolded: "What are you talking about?"

"Um, sir!

Last week you mentioned that supplies were stolen from the lounge, so the technical department installed a hidden surveillance device.

You and his...were all photographed."

Helen covered her forehead, overwhelmed by desire, and only then did she remember this matter.

“The video was deleted for me, and there’s more!

He has his own things to do, and he didn't leave because of my...whatever!"

Helen suddenly became furious, and the feminine demeanor she showed in front of Xiang San disappeared completely. She attacked with a back fist, hitting the concrete wall beside her, with half of her fist embedded in the wall.

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked. Among them were all ordinary people, without any cyborgs, fusionists, or superhumans.

Helen is of course just an ordinary person. Although she is a soldier with stronger physical fitness, the power of this punch is really amazing.

Helen was also surprised when her fist became so hard. She pulled her hand out and then felt the changes in herself.

Her arms were gradually turning into black skin, and a black goo was shaking on the skin of her right hand like living scales.

"Commander Helen!

How did your arm become like this? "

A minute later, she was completely covered by the black sticky liquid, and her consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

When she woke up again, it was half an hour later and she was lying in a ward in the medical area.

Her subordinates were looking at her with strange eyes.

“What’s wrong with you?

Am I dead?

Everyone remained silent and shook their heads.

A subordinate handed her a piece of mirror fragment, which was wrapped in plastic, apparently to prevent cutting her hands.

Helen took the mirror and looked at it, and she saw an incredible scene.

Her face returned to its previous appearance, without the ugly scars or bruises caused by burned blood vessels.

She put down the mirror and her mind moved slightly.

“It’s indeed the power of a demon!

My God, Commander Helen, this is the demonic power of Commander Xiang San!

This must be the power He gave you!

Exactly the same as in the documentation.”

Helen looked at her two magic hands and felt a little uncomfortable. She felt as if she was born to use this ability.

A black tentacle extended from her back and grabbed the coat beside her. Helen put on the coat, got out of bed, and said to everyone:

"From today on, I am your hope."
