HISO Chapter 28
by VolareHe saw Lin Si inside.
The table also held a list of suspicious individuals, and the first piece of information on it was Xie Jinsheng.
Yu An: “…”
Sure enough, the thing he was worried about had happened.
“Oh, it’s you, Yu An.” Lin Si noticed his gaze, subtly moved the document away, and asked with a gentle smile, “What’s the matter?”
Yu An cut to the chase: “…I saw it just now.”
Lin Si paused and said, “I’m sorry, I have to be responsible for the others.”
Hearing this, Yu An broke out in a cold sweat.
Xie Jinsheng was extremely vindictive. If he was really asked to get off the train, it was likely that he would immediately climb back on and slaughter everyone on the train within minutes!
“Deputy Team Leader Lin, my husband is really not an infected being, he just has a bit of an odd personality, but he’s a really good person.”
As long as he wasn’t provoked or given malicious stimuli.
Xie Jinsheng could usually be considered a cold and quiet good person.
“He would never hurt the people on the train, I guarantee it. Although I know that what I’m saying isn’t very convincing and makes things difficult for you, please believe me. If… if he really hurts someone.”
Yu An’s words suddenly stopped.
Lin Si thought he was frightened and comforted him, “Don’t worry, although he’s your husband, you’re still two separate people. If he does something, it won’t affect…”
“It’s not that.” Yu An interrupted him, then raised his eyes after a moment. His soft voice echoed in the room, but each word was extremely firm: “…If he really hurts someone, I can use my life to pay for it.”
A tentacle clinging to the window in the corner paused for a moment upon hearing this.
Lin Si frowned.
Yu An pursed his lips and continued, “If you still have concerns and definitely want him to get off the train later, then please let me go with him.”
However, he couldn’t guarantee whether he could stabilize Xie Jinsheng’s sanity the moment they were kicked off the train. But no matter what, since he chose to bring that monster onto the human train.
He should be responsible for all the consequences.
The Omega youth stood straight, his body weak and slender, but his words were extremely sincere.
Lin Si slowly smiled.
Yu An raised his eyes, somewhat inexplicably.
Lin Si said, “Don’t worry, Yu An. We don’t mean to make anyone get off the train. We were indeed a bit suspicious of him, but he is indeed a living person. Besides, he’s your husband, and now with your words, I’m completely relieved.”
This meant that Xie Jinsheng wouldn’t be thrown off the train.
Hearing this, Yu An’s tense heartstrings relaxed.
He then heard Lin Si say somewhat hesitantly, “However, we have a favor we’d like to ask of you.”
Yu An had already guessed what this favor was. It was nothing more than wanting him to join the team heading to the Ruined City to act as bait for the K6.
His original intention for this trip was to prevent the train from being completely wiped out at that critical point so that he could go to Rong Nan Base normally and follow the subsequent process. He was originally worried about not finding a breakthrough, but he didn’t expect Lin Si to bring it up actively.
“It will be very dangerous on the way to the Ruined City. The infected we’re facing is K6. If you feel it’s too much, you can refuse. Don’t feel pressured.”
Lin Si knew how dangerous this meant for an Omega.
If it wasn’t for the urgency of the matter, which concerned the safety of the entire train, he wouldn’t have made this request.
Yu An said, “I’m willing.”
“Hmm?” Seeing his straightforward attitude, Lin Si paused slightly.
“Deputy Team Leader Lin, what I mean is… as long as you don’t make my husband get off the train, I’ll agree to do anything. Besides, I gave Xiao Ji my blood earlier, so K6 might already have its eyes on me.”
Yu An’s brain quickly made up a reason for himself.
Sure enough, a hint of pity appeared in Lin Si’s eyes, and he said:
“Go back and wait for the notification. We’ll probably leave at noon tomorrow. We’ll do our best to protect you along the way.”
“Thank you, then I’ll go first, Deputy Team Leader Lin.”
The youth turned and left.
At that moment, the tentacle in the corner outside the window also retracted.
Lin Si closed the file. His gentle expression faded a lot. After a while, he seemed to notice something, and his gaze immediately shifted to the window.
He saw some traces on the usually clean glass.
It looked like a soft-bodied creature had crawled over it.
Lin Si’s eyes instantly turned cold, as if he had recalled some bad memories.

Yu An didn’t expect this trip to go so smoothly.
He not only prevented the train from kicking Xie Jinsheng off, but also joined the team to the Ruined City to get the energy core.
He was one step closer to going to Rong Nan Base alive.
He felt a little better and wanted to prepare for what was to come. However, the moment he walked out of the private room, he smelled a familiar Alpha scent.
The scent of sandalwood was clear and refreshing.
The aftertaste was also tinged with the coldness of the forest in the early morning.
It smelled extremely pleasant.
Yu An looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so he ducked into the room in front of him.
“Xie Jinsheng?”
He called out softly.
This seemed to be an abandoned garden room. The curtains were drawn, and the light was dim. He walked through the overgrown weeds and immediately saw a tall figure.
The handsome Alpha was sitting on a snow-white stone.
Under his feet were countless black, tide-like, frantic tentacles.
The contrast between white and black brought an extreme visual tension.
It made the other person look like a cold and crazy gentleman.
Sensing the sound of footsteps, the Alpha raised his eyes and looked at him. The slightly cold gaze instantly lost its sense of danger when it touched him, turning into complexity.
Yu An:?
He hadn’t done anything, had he? Why was he looking at him with that kind of gaze?
Yu An was a little confused. He remembered what happened in the morning and walked over to ask, “Did you give me medicine this morning?”
After a long time, Xie Jinsheng’s gaze swept over his delicate, snow-white neck, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and he gave a cold “hmm.”
“Do you know what you fed me?”
Fortunately, there were no side effects.
Yu An was a little embarrassed when he said this. He sat on the stone stool next to him and said, “Forget it, to prevent you from doing this again in the future, how about I teach you human Chinese characters when I have time?”
He had to have some common sense.
That way, when he went to Rong Nan Base later, he wouldn’t be exposed.
After hearing this, Xie Jinsheng didn’t say anything, he just kept staring at him with a burning gaze.
It was as if he wanted to see through his heart.
…Why was he staring at him like that?
Did he have something dirty on his face?
“If you don’t want to learn for now, then we’ll talk about it later.” He could just explore this world more. Yu An pursed his lips for a moment and said the important thing, “By the way, Xie Jinsheng, I’m going to move to the military compartment these days. I’ll come out to find you again in a few days.”
He didn’t plan to tell the truth.
Because Xie Jinsheng’s coldness in his bones made him uninterested in the life and death of humans, he definitely wouldn’t agree to help.
The less trouble, the better.
After hearing this, Xie Jinsheng paused for a long time before “hmm”ing.
But his voice was a lot deeper.
It was as if he was unhappy.
Yu An was surprised by this idea and quickly asked System, “089, what’s wrong with Xie Jinsheng today?”
He wasn’t seen in the morning, and now his tone is also… strange.
