Crossdressing To Survive An Apocalypse (BL)

Chapter 170 - 170 - Loosing Control

The pipes shattered into pieces.

"Shit..." eyes wide, Hary glanced up at them.

Fan Xui swiftly leaned over until his torso was hanging down and grabbed hold of the back of his hazmat suit tightly. "Pull him up!"

Yue and Prisitsky hurriedly jumped into action.

One hand Yue held onto Fan Xui's back. "Hold out your hand," he leaned down and took a hold of Hary's outstretched hands.

They pulled him up over the raised wall and onto the roof. "Oh my god, Hary are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?" Yue hurriedly checked him.

Contrary to his expectation, he let out a loud, boisterous laughter. "That was fun."

"Seriously. I don't understand the definition of your fun. God darn it..." Yue panted, sitting tiredly in front of him. "That was too risky... we should never climb down pipes,"

"I told you the pipes won't hold," a small voice whispered from beside them. Everyone just gave Prisitsky a look. "Sorry, just stating the fact,"

Just then, Tian rushed over. "What happened I heard loud shouts?"

"Nothing much." Hary stood up and tore apart the hazmat suit.

Yue and the other did too, but Tian was the only one still in her suit.

No one asked her why and she did not bother explaining herself either.

The two scientists went about bickering scientific terms. Tian already looked like she had given up on them. She sat next to Hary, leaning her head on his shoulders.

Watching them all, Yue smiled broadly. "We survived..... I can't believe we even made it this far."

Fan Xui plopped down next to him. His hands hesitantly reached out and took his palm ever so carefully.

"Ahem...." Yue shyly retrieved his hand. "All we have to do is wait...."

"Yes.." Fan Xui looked up at the sky. Late evening golden sunlight lit his face, making his black eyes seem more golden brown. They appeared more soft and joyful. "Waiting Is the hardest part.."

Yue smilingly gazed up at him. Even though he really wanted to hold his hands, he held himself back. The words Hary uttered came to his mind. He wanted to get to know Fan Xui completely before they could be in a relationship. 'Waiting until then is going to be very very hard....'

"It is the hardest part," he whispered. "But it will be all so worth it,"

Fan Xui curiously looked at him.

Yue did not explain himself. He just smiled, glancing at the sunlight.

In the settlement, the military barracks,

Wen glared at the hundred or so soldiers standing in front of them. All of them had their head lowered, refusing to look up.

"so no one is willing to fly....."

The pin drop silence already conveyed their strong opinion.

No one was willing to fly up to the hospital. After the previous team's failure, none of the soldiers were ready to leave the settlement.

He tightly clenched the small slip of paper in his hand. "Rescuing them could mean the end to all this,"

One of the soldiers glanced up with a look of contempt. "Sir, sorry to offend you, but we don't wish to risk our lives to save your son. Our families need us too."
