Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 218 Connection

When Pei Hanxing returned to China's base in Antarctica covered in wounds, Tong Yusheng was both surprised and delighted.

Unexpectedly, the best time for rescue had long passed, and Pei Hanxing escaped alone from the deep ice crevice.

Given that Mikhail's abnormality was discovered when reviewing the video footage afterward, Tong Yusheng had Pei Hanxing given some basic treatment and immediately sent him back to China.

Without clear evidence, relying solely on a few ambiguous statements won't do anything to Mikhail. Rather than putting Pei Hanxing in danger again, it's better to send him home to develop properly. A gentleman's revenge is never too late.

Whether Pei Hanxing is a gentleman or not is another matter, but Chu Deng certainly doesn't consider herself a gentleman.

Upon seeing Pei Hanxing's memories of Antarctica, Chu Deng's protective instincts erupted.

After contacting Jiang Guoqiang to find Mikhail's information, she looked at Pei Hanxing, who was lying silently on the hospital bed, and sighed inwardly.

He woke up, but dared not face her. Chu Deng had no choice but to take the initiative and slowly approached Pei Hanxing on the hospital bed, bending down and pressing her forehead against his.

The warm flames burned between the two, removing the bandages from Pei Hanxing's eyes without burning him in the slightest.

The warmth from his eyes made his eyeballs move, but he kept his eyes tightly closed, his thick eyelashes trembling like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.

Chu Deng couldn't help but lean in and kiss him. Pei Hanxing pursed her lips, turned her face away, and said in a hoarse voice, "No."

His reddened ears betrayed his inner turmoil.

Chu Deng didn't force him to face her, but simply said, "I saw it all."

What did you see?

Pei Hanxing pressed the back of her right hand over her eyes, peering at Chu Deng through the gap in her palm.

Chu Deng didn't keep her in suspense any longer. She reached out and grabbed Pei Hanxing's left hand, which was hidden at her side. Pei Hanxing was caught off guard and her fingers were interlocked. The insect claws on the back of her hand couldn't be covered in time.

Chu Deng continued, "The changes you experienced in Antarctica."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Hanxing moved his right hand away, opened his eyes, and stared straight at Chu Deng with his inhuman eyes.

Chu Deng smiled, and as their eyes met, their consciousnesses instantly connected.

Pei Hanxing's eyes were misty as she drifted into Chu Deng's memories.

From the insect plague in the Southeast Sea to the helicopter rescue, and finally the intelligent battle on the ship, Chu Deng shared all of her memories with him.

So he seemed to become Chu Deng as well, to see and experience Chu Deng's world.

He was particularly fascinated by that feeling of being inseparable from others.

Pei Hanxing's breathing went from rapid to even. The exchange of memories made him feel somewhat out of control of time. When he came to his senses, he looked at Chu Deng while panting, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the time in the ward. Only a minute had just passed.

Chu Deng placed his hand on Pei Hanxing's insect crystal, which was on his left abdomen.

“During the competition at the training base, your special ability suddenly erupted, and I noticed something was wrong with you. I helped you purify the mutated worms in your body.” Chu Deng didn’t speak, but Pei Hanxing heard everything clearly.

He tried to speak in his mind, but Chu Deng didn't respond. So, Pei Hanxing listened quietly to Chu Deng speak.

"I didn't expect the mutated insect to leave a crystal on you, and you've completely adapted to it."

Pei Hanxing touched Chu Deng's hand, which was placed on her left abdomen, and then bent her fingers and flinched slightly, but Chu Deng held them tightly, and they interlocked their fingers again.

"You now have two energy cores." Chu Deng's lips curled into a smile. "You're a miracle."

Pei Hanxing's breath hitched, and her heart skipped a beat.
