Chapter 700: To Friendship and Memory

“It’s not enough that he destroys our entire species . In the past few months, he has been chasing and killing whatever we have left,” the mysterious man said bitterly . “Thanks to him, my people have been becoming fewer and fewer . With the Pupae Tree gone, we can no longer reproduce in this world . He still refuses to give us the chance to spend our lives hidden among humans quietly . If this is the case, we will also kill all who are related to him and let him have a taste of loneliness . ”

Bai Qing had backed up all the way to the rear of the parking lot, and she had no more space left .

She looked around, spotted a fluorescent tube, and grabbed it from the trash can .

If she were still the old her, she would probably be fearing for her life right now . She was still a little scared after experiencing the alien incident three months ago, but at least she was not trembling in fear anymore . And she could make use of objects that were around to protect herself . She was uncertain, however, if the fluorescent tube could help defeat the alien in front of her .

Seeing the masked man approaching her slowly, Bai Qing held on tight to the only weapon she could rely on .

The masked man seemed a little disappointed by her reaction . According to what he knew, Bai Qing should have been shivering by now, desperately attempting to explain that she had nothing to do with Zhang Heng . After taking a closer look at her face, he realized that she had accepted the reason why he had come to her for revenge .

Although there was no one in the parking lot now, the masked man wanted to waste no time . This was, after all, a public parking lot, which meant there was a constant flow of people here . Hence, he picked up speed and dashed at Bai Qing, wanting to end the fight as soon as possible .

And the battle ended as fast as he expected . After running less than five steps, blood gushed out of the back of his head . A bullet that had come from nowhere penetrated its head, going through the alien, was latched on the fourth ventricle .

The masked man’s eyes were filled with unwillingness and bewilderment, and at the same time, a touch of fear .

However, in the next second, the alien was unable to control its body anymore . It fell beside Bai Qing’s feet . Seeing blood and brain matter spattering out of the bullet wound, she did not scream in fear but Instead showed a touch of joy . Immediately, she dropped the fluorescent tube in her hand and looked around .

“It’s you . You are here, right?!”

“…”

No one answered her question in the parking lot .

“So you plan not to see me for the rest of your life?” Bai Qing hollered loudly, “What are you afraid of? Afraid that I will ask you that question? Am I scarier to you than those things?”

After a while, a voice finally emerged from the roof next door . Zhang Heng replied helplessly, “Let’s talk about the other matter later . This guy has an accomplice in the mall . He couldn’t go after you while locking the fire exit at the same time . I need you to help me to load the body into the car first . I will go and deal with the other guy . ”

He then threw down a car key from above .

“Okay . ” Bai Qing said happily as she grabbed the keys . After a pause, she seemed worried that Zhang Heng would leave without repeating goodbye . She added, “I miss you very much . ”

“I know . ”

After his reply, Zhang Heng disappeared from the roof .

…

A quarter of an hour later, the two met again in the parking lot . Initially, Bai Qing wanted to run to Zhang Heng, but a Ford Mondeo drove past her and blocked her way . She had to wait for a while before running to Zhang Heng . This time, she was no longer as reserved, pouncing onto him and hugging him like a koala .

The latter had to reach out and hug her to prevent her from falling off .

“I knew you hadn’t left yet,” Bai Qing said .

The Mondeo’s driver found a parking space . Then the family of three got out of the car and saw the intimate scene between Zhang Heng and Bai Qing . Immediately, the father quickly covered the eyes of his youngest son . And the mother shook her head repeatedly .

“Teenagers nowadays know no shame . This is a public place . ”

Usually, Bai Qing would blush when she heard this kind of comment, but now she was drowning in the joy of reunion . Although under criticism, she still did not stop hugging Zhang Heng .

She was even brave enough to reach out and touch Zhang Heng’s cheek, “Am I dreaming now? Are you really back?”

“Yes, I’m back, but I can’t stay for long . I still have to deal with a body in the women’s toilet,” Zhang Heng replied .

“Sometimes, I do wonder if you will return to Krypton after saving earth,” Bai Qing sobbed with teary eyes .

“When I am done with them, yes . I am afraid I will be away for a long time . ”

“How long will you be gone? Forever?”

“Something like that . ”

“That means the secret code that we had between us is more than a secret code, right?”

“I’m sorry,” Zhang Heng apologized .

“No, you don’t need to apologize to me . You saved me and my life . You are my hero, even if I’m the only one that knows about it in this world,” Bai Qing said . After that, she moved closer to Zhang Heng and placed her luscious lips on Zhang Heng’s lips . It was a quick and soft peck, like a dragonfly skimming above the water of a pond during the summer .

Bai Qing’s face finally turned red this time, and she murmured, “So this is how it feels like to kiss . ”

…

…

On the bar lounge deck, Zhang Heng woke up from the Proxy War’s quest .

As compared to the past, he found out that his body had not undergone any changes .

After what happened on the roof of workshop No . 3, Zhang Heng had been trying to study what happened to him . But after trying several times, he failed to replicate what he did previously .

After that, Zhang Heng also checked on his game items and confirmed that none had been responsible for what happened to him .

Putting the weird dream that he had into consideration—the wet and dark seaside town and the strange-looking old man—was perhaps more noteworthy to him than the quest itself .

“You look good today,” the bartender said . “Saw an old friend?”

“I guess so . You look delighted today too . Why?”

“Oh, because my old friend is coming back too . I’ve been waiting for him for a long time . ” The bartender’s eyes were filled with joy when she talked about the person . After that, she made two glasses of cocktails as fast as possible and passed one of them to Zhang Heng . “To friendship and memories, the two most beautiful things in the world,” she toasted .

“Shouldn’t you be drinking this with your old friends?”

“It doesn’t matter . Drinking with you is the same . He doesn’t like drinking very much anyway . ” The bartender lady took a sip of the cocktail, then frowned slightly . “Is it too sour? I think I put too much lemon juice in it?”
