Xiao's Yan's imagination ran wild with the most horrific scenarios until he started trembling. It was then that he realized that Heine was using a medicinal injection gun on him.
Probably electrolytes, or a peptide to boost his immune system. Xiao Yan didn't care, he finally collapsed into a deep sleep.
Later that night, Xiao slowly stirred awake. He turned to the side, Heine was sitting beside the bed, holding his arm; his body leaning onto the bed to sleep. Xiao moved his cheek against the sheets, they were infused with the scent of Heine Burton.
Heine has been taking good care of him. He didn't leave him, nor did he even show the slightest impatience
Maybe he is not as terrible as he was imagining him to be. As his eyes become more accustomed to the darkness, Xiao Yan could faintly discern the strong and mysterious features of Heine. His prominant brow, the slope of his nose, his chiseled jawline...
Suddenly he feels Heine's eyes on him.
The indifferene that was normally present on his face lifted. Without it, the chilly atmosphere that surrounded him rose by several degrees.
Heine's palm reaches over and feels Xiao's forehead. His palm was warm and soothing. Xiao Yan didn't mean to close his eyes but something in the atmosphere spread through the night, as though it were the only place it could live.
Heine leaned toward Xiao, and he felt his lips brush against his. Every cell in his body trembled and shuddered. Heine's tongue licked lightly at his mouth and the kiss deepened, pressing further. That tongue, that had erotically teased the blades of grass, was now wrapped around Xiao Yan's tongue. Each contact, small and brief, as though Hiene were slowly tasting him.
Xiao Yans raised his bent knees, his fingers still splayed against Hiene's chest. He didn't refuse, his body position resembling more an invitation than a rejection. Heine suddenly launched himself onto Xiao Yan's body. His hands clasped his wrists. Xiao felt wrapped completely in the oppressive presence of Heine Burton. The kiss was quickly becoming frantic and messy, his mouth pressing hard and forcefully against his own. Sucking and licking, he deepened the contact of their mouths. Heine angled his head and forced Xiao's mouth further open, his kiss was ruthless and intense. His body was pressing so hard onto Xiao Yan that he could feel his back make contact with the wires underneath the mattress.
The bone crushing impact of Heine's body against him was so intense he couldn't even cry out. Every vessel in his body began to pound and his bones were defenseless against the power of Heine Burton. He could hear his entire skeleton cracking and breaking as he was conquered by Heine. He felt as though he had died.
Then...
Suddenly he was able to breathe and his scalding body cooled instantly. There was no weight upon him other than the blanket.
Heine was still asleep on his arm.
Oh, god...
What....
What happened was all an illusion?
What an insane hallucination! There was no way Heine Burton would be kissing him.
Yet, he could still feel the sensation of being pressed against the mattress, his body...his bones...crushed.
He patted his chest, reassuring himself... well...if that had really occurred, he wouldn't be alive right now.
He remembered very clearly the story of that tragic incident 21 years ago.
"What's going on?" Xiao's movements must have roused Heine. The reason for his waking was becoming a pressing matter.
"I have to urinate...".
Xiao was quite embarrassed to have to narrate his bathroom needs to Heine.
But he really had to go..
Obviously the storm shelter doesn't have such facilities and, with Heine being such a clean freak, he doubted that he could just urinate anywhere.
Ah...will he make him go outside the shelter?! What a dangerous place to have to go to urinate!
Xiao Yan began to squirm with nervousness and urgency, Heine untwisted the cap on an empty water bottle and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"If one drop leaks, I will throw you outside."
Xiao Yan took the water bottle and his hands suddenly felt clumsy.
He has to pee in Heine Burton's water bottle?!
Also the opening is not wide, in order to not leak a single drop, does he have to stuff his whole penis inside?
Xiao Yan sighed. This is the best option, though.
He left the bed and turned his back to Heine. Untying his trousers, he tried stuffing himself into the top portion of the bottle. Releasing the urine felt refreshing but, when he went to pull out, the pressure of the bottle sucked him in. He began to panic and in his mind he sees his penis being returned to base in a specimen bottle. He breathes slowly and calms himself. Slowly he backed up and air began to enter the bottle, then withdrew himself smoothly.
Xiao Yan exhaled and capped the bottle.
At this time, a loud knocking sounded and Xiao Yan jumped nervously.
Heine opened the door lock without even verifying who it was.
"Oh-my God! I finally made it here!" It was Maya. Behind him was a nothing but starlight. The empty wilderness seemed desolate.
Maya locked the door and the minute he turned and saw Xiao Yan he ran and clutched him tightly.
Xiao Yan was held in such a grip he felt his circulation cut off.
"Oh my dear Xiao Yan, you are still alive! How I worried about Colonel leaving you to suffocate in that pod. I fought a lot of zombies on my way here...also I met two groups of assassins from the Surge.. Of course I killed them all." Maya grinned at his own accomplishments as he continued to brag.
Xiao Yan fiddled with the bottle in his hand and smiled awkwardly, he had also been afraid Heine would leave him in the pod.
"What is this? Water?" Maya took the bottle in Xiao Yan's hand and unscrewed it. "I'm thirsty!"
"Do not!"
Xiao Yan had not yet had time to stop him, Maya was just bout to pour it down his throat.
"What's the matter? Why does this water smell? Why is it so warm?" Maya looked at the bottle suspiciously.
"It was... umm..."
"It's his urine." Heine's blunt voice sounded, and Maya's hand trembled. He smiled tightly and screwed the cap back on the bottle before setting it down carefully on the table.
"My dear, I know you miss me very much, but the way you express love is... so... special!"
"Oh..." Xiao yan smiled. "There was no toilet in the storm shelter..."
"Ah, the boss is too brutish. If it were me, I would have taken you outside and stood guard over you. Nothing is too inconvenient for your sake, darling. Maybe a couple zombie would come out and create some excitement, of course I would valiantly kill them all. Afterwards, we can lie on the grass and stare up at the stars. Beneath such a view we can make love..."
Xiao began to feel chilled, and he stepped back away from Maya uncomfortably.
"No...no need..."
A moment later, Liv and Mark arrived.
Once Liv saw that Xiao Yan was safe she was visibly relieved. She was worried that Xiao Yan would open the safety cabin before they found him.
More than a dozen square meters of space became quite lively once full with six people, especially Mark who also almost drank the bottle on the coffee table. Xiao Yan quickly threw it out of the shelter.
Liv and the others ate a couple compressed cookies and discussed their next move.
Obviously, if they want to return to the base or the Shire, they would need an aircraft. The nearest aircraft is on the 47th platform.
Opening the holographic map they saw that Platform No. 47 is about a six hours' walk from them. Of course, these six hours refer to the walking time of special forces, not the speed of Xiao Yan.
Thinking that he would have to maintain a dead run for six hours, Xiao Yan felt his doom closing in.
"Go to sleep."
Hai Yan, who is sitting on the sofa, raised his eyes.
"Yeah, go to bed, tomorrow is another day." Maya looked over and winked at Xiao yan.
Xiao Yan quietly got back into the bed and pulled the quilt over him. He had no way to contribute to the special task force. To them his skills and existence were insignificant. Xiao Yan burrowed deeper into the covers and fell asleep. It was useless to think about matters that belonged to tomorrow.
In the midst of Xiao Yan's sleeping, the other special forces arrived. Heine Burton's entire special mission team is here.
----------
Someone rubbed the back of Xiao Yan's head. "Hey, wake up, we're leaving!"
Xiao Yan turned over to see Liv standing beside the bed.
"Forgot to say thank you. The improved 'Silver Wing' is very useful. Not only does it successfully recover the blades after release, but its destruction is far greater than before."
XIao fears were confirmed when he discovered that Heine's definition of walking and Xiao Yan's were drastically different. He had just stepped from the storm shelter when the special forces came running out at a break neck speed.
"Mark." he raised his chin to refer to Xiao Yan and Mark picked him up like a pile of rocks.
"Please don't carry me like that." His expression was quite distressed.. and visible to no one.
I'm going to die, Xiao grumbled silently to himself as bump after bump sent painful shocks through body. He began to protest.
Mark reluctantly changed positions to piggy back Xiao Yan.
They are advancing at full speed. Fortunately, this area is far from the city, so there are no hordes of zombies.
When a zombie approaches Mark, he runs full force as though it were not there, with Liv and Maya dispatching it before it can reach him. Liv's skill is natural and effortless, and Maya's silk threads create complex arcs and angles through the air. His agile movements instantly cut down a strong Level 1.
Their trust, skills and team work were awe inspiring.
"Baby, do you want me to carry you?" Maya winked at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan had to admit Maya was far more eye catching than before. He had his hair pulled back and a deadly aura swathed him as he flexed his skills in battle.
Xiao Yan caught his thoughts before they headed in a confusing direction.
"No!" Xiao Yan said forcefully and gripped tightly onto Mark's back.
His shoulders were wide and his hands rested lightly on Xiao Yan's legs. As long as Heine assigned him a task, he will perform it to the best of his abilities.
Through such a high pace, Xiao can feel that Mark's pulse and breathing have remained undisturbed.
The wind whistled past his ear as they moved along, the feeling was free and refreshing.
It did not last long.
Several aircraft, in formation, discovered them and laser fire exploded all around.
As Mark ducked Xiao slipped from his shoulders, his head was nearly in the mud when he was hauled back up.
It was Heine. He quickly assembled his gun and nodded toward Maya.
Xiao Yan feels there is an innate understanding between the two.
Maya moves amazingly fast. He runs quickly while assembling his guns. There is almost no time to react as he spins around and shoots out the left engine of the enemy aircraft. The laser fire continues as the craft locks onto Maya as a threat. The special task force guns are powerful enough to pierce through the high density titanium of the craft.
Shooting att he craft, even when at such low altitude, is not an easy task and can only be done by a special forces member.
