After I became a zookeeper

Chapter 55 Abandoning the Most Noble Phoenix in the World

It was still in the afternoon, the sun was just right, and the lake surface was shimmering, and the wind blew across the water surface to bring cool air. Everyone stood leisurely by the lake, and no one realized that a cold knife would break out of the water surface and stab the leaves and branches. and go.

Xiao Lin was still looking at the lake and mountains in the distance and chatting, and the corner of his eye flickered, but the combat soldiers following Ye Zhi rushed forward. He was startled, and instinctively gave up his position, and saw Yan Su leading someone to stop him one-on-one. Under the former.

The close-fitting cold weapons were pulled out, and the confrontation between the two sides was fierce and silent. Without the shouts and courage that Xiaolin had seen in war movies before, it made people feel extremely frightened.

"What are you doing..." Xiao Lin murmured.

He subconsciously went to find Ye Zhi, the only friend he knew here, but as soon as he turned his head to that side, his eyes were tearing up when he saw the scene Ye Zhi was facing at this moment—Ye Zhi was being chased by a man in a diving suit with a long knife kill!

Xiao Lin wanted to run to help, but he was stopped by people brought by Yan Su on the way. The other party had a clear goal, which was to organize everyone to rescue Ye Zhi, so that their accomplices could succeed and kill Ye Zhi.

Xiao Lin was entangled, and his heart sank after fighting with the opponent. The person on the other side was well-trained. Seeing that the arrangement was watertight and took care of both sides, he was obviously prepared. Faced with this net, Ye Zhi didn't know if he could escape today. day of birth.

He cast a glance at Ye Zhi in confusion, brother, you must hold on!

And Ye Zhi is not having a good time here.

At that time, when he saw a cold light in the water, he subconsciously attacked the water with a mental beam. It was his instinctive reaction that saved his life at a critical moment. The long knife fell off and fell into the water. Reflecting the cold light, Ye Zhi hadn't had time to take a breath, the next moment, the knife that sank to the bottom was picked up by someone, broke through the water and slashed at Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi twisted his body to barely avoid the blade, at this moment, there was a chaotic sound behind him, Ye Zhi turned around, and found that the people sent by Phoenix to protect him were fighting with Yan Su's team.

The assassin missed a hit, raised his knife and slashed at Ye Zhi again. Ye Zhi took a deep breath and stretched out his mental bundle to interfere with the opponent's actions, but he didn't dare to completely control the opponent's actions - that would be too exhausting for him, and he might not be able to hold on How long will it take to faint and turn into fish on the chopping board, which can only be slaughtered.

In this scramble to delay the opportunity, Ye Zhi stretched out his mental bundle to keep an eye on the changes around him. In this case, what is waiting is either a turning point or a dead end.

I saw Yan Su lock his throat and pinch the throat of the soldier who was fighting with him, and there was a "click" sound of loading, and the black muzzle of the gun was directed towards Ye Zhi.

The scalp-numbing feeling trailed him, Ye Zhi changed his position several times to avoid his sight, but Yan Su's muzzle still followed him steadily.

Ye Zhi was cornered, with the lake behind him, the long knife at his side, and the muzzle of Yan Su's gun in front of him, there was no way to avoid it, just listen for a second,

--"boom!"

A gunshot exploded in the ears like thunder, making the ears of everyone present buzzing.

Ye Zhi fell backwards, as if his body had been sucked dry, he fell into the ton of lake water without any struggle, the cold water slowly filled his mouth and nose, and Ye Zhi finally passed through the layer of water that soaked his eyes. Take a look, the sun is fluttering, and spots of light are jumping on the slowly closed eyelids.

-

There seemed to be someone talking in the distance, the voice sounded a little familiar, but the tone was furious that had never been heard before.Ye Zhi couldn't help frowning, trying not to let that person get angry, but also wanted to ask him why he was angry.

However, he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't make a sound. The feeling of being submerged in water and filling his throat seemed to choke Ye Zhi's breath again, making his body move instinctively to get rid of the terrifying feeling of losing control. and suffocation.

"Bang—" is the sound of the door being thrown against the wall and being bounced back.

The next moment, Ye Zhi felt someone holding his hand, and his eyelids were gently touched, because the frantically rolling eyes slowly stopped under Yan's eyelids. After Ye Zhi took a few breaths, he heard someone call him by name.

"Yezhi..."

"Yezhi..."

"Wake up, Ye Zhi..."

The sound was longer than the sound, as if calling a soul, Ye Zhi held back the complaints in his heart, and slowly opened his eyes.

The light was dazzling, the light spots were beating, and the sight was finally focused. Facing the whitewashed ceiling above his head, and smelling the familiar smell of disinfectant in his nose, Ye Zhi opened his mouth slightly, "Why did I wake up in the hospital again..."

"Alas..." Sighed, I really wanted to close my eyes and go to sleep again, so as not to wake up and face all this horrible situation.

However, the voice of gnashing of teeth in his ear killed Ye Zhi's thought of avoiding responsibility, "Ye Zhi, no matter where you go in the future, you can't leave me behind."

"Then what if I go to the toilet?" Ye Zhi opened his eyes.

"..."

Ye Zhi turned his head, and the tip of his nose lightly brushed against Fenghuang's side face. At this moment, half of Fenghuang's body was lying on Ye Zhi's body. The words just said were close to Ye Zhi's ear. Ye Zhi was slightly startled, and then found himself voice, "I want a drink."

Fenghuang lay on Ye Zhi's body again, gnashing his teeth for a while, before propping his arms up from Ye Zhi's body, he reached out and poured him a glass of warm water.Then he helped Ye Zhi half sit up, refused his request to reach out for the water glass, and fed the person to drink more than half of the glass of water before giving up.

After Ye Zhi drank the water, he finally relieved the burning sensation in his throat. He glanced at Fenghuang's expression, and silently calculated in his heart, how could he...be angry again.

Ye Zhi rubbed his temples with a headache, he had just woken up, and he was about to coax this ancestor, no one was his favorite, he should be pampered, Ye Zhi silently cut off his straight man thinking in his heart, and tried his best to turn himself into a love brain.

"How many days have I slept?" Ye Zhi took out his hand and put it on the white sheet of the hospital.

Fenghuang glanced at it, put Ye Zhiyuan's hand back, and then replied: "Not much, just three days."

Ye Zhi: "...why are you acting weird?" He wanted to take out his hand again, but it was really uncomfortable to put it under the quilt, and after thinking about it, he held back, "It's not me..."

Ye Zhi silently bit the tip of his tongue, almost, almost, he was going to say "it's not my fault" again, but isn't it just a tendency to argue and escalate into a quarrel?

Although Ye Zhi has been straight in a certain way, but after he realizes his own intentions, he will learn to think from the perspective of the other party. If he puts himself in the position of the Phoenix, he will let the person out by himself, but when he turns around, something happens again. Now, that kind of sadness, anger and helplessness accumulated in his heart, even if the culprit was solved, it still couldn't be completely eliminated, because he was close to losing this person completely.

Thinking of the incomprehension in Ye Zhi's heart, it all turned into understanding, and all the helplessness was replaced by distress, he raised his head and stroked Fenghuang's hair, "Okay, am I lying here properly?"

Fenghuang glanced at him sideways, but didn't speak.

Ye Zhi laughed out loud, and took the initiative to pull the person into his arms and hugged him, "Look, it's all right, I was lucky enough to save my life again, and I won't dare to take the initiative to die again in the future."

Fenghuang's head was buried in Ye Zhi's neck, and it took a long time before he spoke, his voice was muffled, "It's not your fault this time, nor was it your fault before, those people hiding in the shadows are too insidious," Fenghuang said with his hand Leaning on Ye Zhi's back, "I didn't protect you well."

Ye Zhi smiled, not wanting to turn the conversation into their respective crime-seeking competitions, counting out their own crimes to each other, and then lazy to blame themselves, so he took the initiative to change the topic, "Speaking of those people, I'm going to the zoo this time Did they arrange it long ago?"

Ye Zhi narrowed his eyes. Before that, he had been staying in the scientific research institute. Considering the importance of the scientific research institute, the various defensive measures were probably no worse than the Phoenix’s military headquarters. He was foolproof staying in the iron barrel-like scientific research institute. Even if those people want to start, they have no chance.

But if he took the initiative to go out, it would be different...

But at this time, something happened.

Ye Zhi looked at his palms, he didn't want all the friends he met here to take advantage of him and betray him, that would be too sad, Ye Zhi closed his palms and clenched them into fists.

However, Fenghuang seemed to have sensed his gloomy mood, and said in a completely affirmative tone: "No."

"Xiao Lin invited you to the zoo only for his friend. As for his friend being affected and injured, it was an accident." Fenghuang hugged Ye Zhi and gave Ye Zhi word by word a reassuring agent, "In the past three days, I will send someone to take this Every thread of the story has been checked, and you can trust me completely."

Fenghuang said in a calm tone: "Yan Su is Peacock's undercover agent here. He has been preparing for a long time. He and Yan Su were opposites before. After Peacock left, no one thought of Yan Su when he was liquidating his henchmen. I didn't expect that when he lifted this chess piece, it would be here."

Fenghuang tells Ye Zhi everything he has investigated.People tend to be afraid of unknown things. When they don't see the whole picture, they are worried and afraid because they are not confident in each other, but when they see the other party's overall situation, they often sigh that it is not the same.

After hearing this, Ye Zhi really relaxed a lot. He let go of his hand, let out a breath, and laughed with relief, "That's good, otherwise my every step will be calculated to the point of precision, which is scary."

"Don't be afraid, I'll be by your side." Fenghuang said sullenly. Although he comforted him like this, he also knew that it was because he was not by Ye Zhi's side that Yan Su had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he was worried that Ye Zhi would Don't believe in yourself, while making a promise in your heart, such things will never happen in the future.

Ye Zhi smiled, didn't care, but instead comforted Fenghuang, "Well, don't be afraid, I just talked about it just now." Fenghuang hugged him tightly, maybe because he was afraid that he would be in trouble again but he was not by his side.

Ye Zhi patted Fearful Phoenix on the back, signaling him to relax, don't be nervous, and don't think wildly.

After a long while, Fenghuang seemed to have finally come out of the previous emotion, and took the initiative to let go of Ye Zhi's embrace, and Ye Zhi lay down again, feeling the empty embrace, but he was still reluctant to part with him, alas, he couldn't hold him for a while longer.

Ye Zhi found that her mentality was completely different from before. Before, because she had hugged Phoenix for a long time, she wanted to hug other furry birds or animals, but now she felt that those other furries were mediocre, and their Phoenix was the best. Well, I want to hold on and never let go.

Ye Zhi is still sentimental, thinking that the cub will stop falling in love with "mother" when he grows up, seeing that Fenghuang has calmed down his emotions, and chatting seriously with Ye Zhi about the incident where he was stabbed in the zoo, "Yan Su and the others are It can be seen from their hasty arrangements, otherwise, if he has been lurking in the military headquarters for so long, if he had planned in advance, he would be able to do more watertight and foolproof."

When talking about Yan Su, Fenghuang faded away from Ye Zhi's grievance and fear like a dog in the rain, and his eyes were fierce, like a sharp knife, ready to see blood.

Ye Zhi also agrees with Fenghuang's point of view. The last time he had a face-to-face meeting with Peacock, the other party hit him with a narcotic bullet. If you want him to die, just replace the narcotic bullet in the pistol with Lethal bullets are fine.

So Yan Su killed him this time, probably not because he received the order from Peacock, but because he judged the situation himself and wanted to get rid of the uncertain factor of Ye Zhi.

"What happened to him in the end?" Ye Zhi recalled that he had passed out very early, and he didn't know how the matter was resolved after he fell into the water.

"At the last moment, you used your mind to control the person who killed you with a knife and used it as a gun for you. You lost your mind in an instant and fell into a faint. Actually, it was unnecessary. At that time, Xiao Lin pushed the person in front of him to block Yan Su. His gun It was his own men who were hit in the end."

Ye Zhi didn't expect Xiao Lin to react so quickly, and thought of saving himself. While feeling warm, he couldn't help but feel guilty for his suspicion at the beginning, "Well, I will thank him well when I see him again."

Fenghuang pinched Ye Zhi's fingers, and then continued: "After you fell into the water, the people I sent finally dealt with Yan Su and the others after a fight, and I was also injured in various places. When I was about to go into the water to save you, I found you It has been sent back to the shore by the merman in the lake."

"Mermaid? Is it Xiaolan?" Ye Zhi raised his eyes and asked.

Fenghuang snorted in displeasure, "...do you still know Little Green and Little Red?"

He was just annoyed that Ye Zhi knew so many flowers and plants outside, and wanted to choke him with words, but Ye Zhi replied in a serious manner:

"Hmm, did another green mermaid come to the zoo? I only know Xiaohong, but I don't see Xiaolu." Ye Zhi thought about it seriously, "It seems that Xiaolu and Xiaohong rescued me?"

Phoenix: "..."

Why didn't he know that there were so many fish in Honghuang Zoo? !No wonder Ye Zhi can become Neptune.

Fenghuang sat down. He was originally sitting sideways on Ye Zhi's hospital bed, talking to him face to face. Now that he was sitting upright, he was facing Ye Zhi sideways, or it could be said that his back was facing away.

Ye Zhi: "..." He seemed to have exposed some truth, which made Fenghuang angry again.

Ye Zhi silently lit a piece of wax for himself in the bottom of his heart, and now that his emotional aperture has finally been opened, he can now realize why Fenghuang is angry, instead of being confused like Monk Zhang Er before.

Putting himself in his shoes, if Fenghuang has so many "fluffy" outside, he will also be angry, no, if you say this, then Fenghuang...does he like himself too?

With such thoughts in mind, Ye Zhi looked at Fenghuang, who was stared at by Ye Zhi, and made a "chirp".

Ye Zhi: "..."

Ye Zhi: "Hahahahaha..."

Hearing Ye Zhi's laughter, Fenghuang also realized that he had made a mistake just now, his face blushed, and then he suppressed the shame with a cold face, his expression was uneasy, this time he directly turned the angle, completely facing away from Ye Zhi, All that was exposed to the other party was the back of a black head.

But Ye Zhi didn't mind, he even forgot what he was thinking just now, all the laughter in his body was poked by Fenghuang's "chirp", and he wanted to roll on the bed laughing, if he just woke up weak, I was about to laugh and pounded the bed.

"You...did you just...did you want to say 'hum', and then got anxious, and the bird's voice came out hahahaha!" Ye Zhi smiled and said intermittently.

Fenghuang's face was livid, he didn't talk to anyone, and he didn't pay attention to others.

It took a long time for Ye Zhi to calm down his smile.Well, after laughing, it's time to coax people.

He rubbed his stiff cheeks from laughing, don't give him another chance, he also chooses to laugh enough before coaxing people, anyway, he will definitely be able to coax them back.Ye Zhi gave a "tsk" in his heart, thinking that he had the potential to be a scumbag.

Ye Zhi stretched out his finger to poke Fenghuang's back, ignored him, poked him again, and poked again, if he kept ignoring him, he would keep poking him.

Finally, Fenghuang stretched out his hand, went around behind and caught Ye Zhi's troublesome fingers, but he still didn't turn around.

Ye Zhi was caught, so she obediently didn't move. After thinking about it, the other party probably thought that she had lost face with her, and she wouldn't turn around for a while. If it was in the shape of a bird now, then the whole body of feathers should be covered. drooped down.

Ye Zhi was not in a hurry at all, he just changed the topic just now and asked the other party to talk to him first.

"Who do you think saved me before?" Ye Zhi asked tentatively.

Fenghuang didn't speak this time, probably because he was still debating whether to talk to Ye Zhi so quickly.Ye Zhi then moved her fingers again, wanting to continue to poke Fenghuang's waist.

Fenghuang felt the struggle of Ye Zhi in his hand, squeezed it tightly again, moved his lips, and finally answered this time, "...I don't know Xiaolan, Xiaolv, Xiaohong. The one who saved you was a blue mermaid, Yan Su. When arranging people to enter the lake to ambush, they first gave him anesthesia, the mermaid's body is strong, and the anesthesia soon wears off, and then the mermaid picked you up at the bottom of the water."

Fenghuang paused, and then added: "From this, it can be seen that Yan Su and the others made a temporary arrangement, with their ruthless style, if there is time to plan, the mermaid will definitely be removed from the lake. "

When Ye Zhi heard that it was the blue mermaid who saved him, he knew it well, and this was also within his guess. Seeing Fenghuang's back, Ye Zhi turned his head, then lowered his eyes, with a sense of loneliness in his voice, and said slowly: "They want to Kill me...for what?"

Hearing Ye Zhi's voice, Fenghuang felt that the tone was wrong, couldn't sit still, turned around, and didn't let go of the hand holding Ye Zhi's fingers. Think, it’s okay, I’m here.”

Ye Zhi raised her lower eyelids slightly, raised her eyes to glance at the turning Phoenix, then lowered her eyes again, her eyelashes gently covered her lower eyelids, and a shadow was drawn by the light from above, looking cute and pitiful.

However, I was secretly happy in my heart. Sure enough, no one could resist selling miserably and pitifully, so he turned around without getting angry.

Ye Zhi coughed, adjusted his tone and continued to discuss with Fenghuang: "I can roughly guess the reason why they want to kill me. I am not guilty, but I am guilty. My special ability is destined to praise me." In a position that everyone can see, if it can’t be used by them, it must be the best to kill, not to mention that I am now in the opposing camp.”

Fenghuang nodded, "There is this reason. Last time the peacock tried so hard to take you out, but the fox turned around and came back to kill you in the end."

"There is a reason..." Ye Zhi repeated Fenghuang's words in a low voice, then raised his eyes and asked, "Is there any other reason for you to say that?"

Fenghuang tightened Ye Zhi's hand, and after a long while, he raised his head as if nothing had happened, and asked an irrelevant question: "I'm going to participate in the war soon, I will definitely win, I won't take you there."

Ye Zhi's breathing paused for a moment, and then he slowly recovered his own frequency, and said indifferently: "Well, I can't help you if I go..."

After a moment of silence, he raised his eyes and smiled at Fenghuang: "You must return safely."

Fenghuang went to deal with the backlog of things, Ye Zhi stayed alone in the ward, he put a forearm on his forehead, and stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling above his head.

He likes Fenghuang, and Fenghuang might also like him. This kind of two-way secret love... seems to be enough to pierce the window paper.Ye Zhi has no experience in love, and he can't imagine how the friends around him took the first step and then came together.

For him, this feeling is complex and wonderful, uneasy and intriguing. In short, it makes him, a single straight male with mother-fetal child, feel hypocritical for the first time in more than 20 years.

Ye Zhi turned over agitatedly, but Fenghuang was going to fight recently, he thought, he should wait and maintain this relationship first, don't break the original balance at such a moment, such a sudden change Who can tell which direction it will go in the end?What if Phoenix didn't agree to him...

Ye Zhi turned back impatiently, well, he was cowardly when he was about to kick the door, he hugged his head, just cowardly, first let him be a tortoise for a month, and when Phoenix comes back after winning the battle, he For sure, I will confess to Fenghuang.

Then abduct the most noble red bird in the world and bring it home.
