Twilight Scarlet

Chapter 31 Camping

As surgeons, interns are trained to be a disease, germ-sensitive animal, and sometimes, in the eyes of the interns, the problem of space is as simple as that—with or without bacteria, with many or many bacteria...

"What are you talking about?!" Qiao Zhen almost jumped up reflexively when he heard Marcus's words, like a cat that suddenly exploded when it saw a water cat.

"Qiao Zhen, don't be so scared, we are not going to some alien planet." Marcus pulled the fried fur cat gently. "We're just going camping. There are only ten people with the Karen family, plus Carlo and Caius. It's in Forks Town, not far from here, I promise."

"Sleeping on the goddamn floor?! And then everyone pissing in a bush?! How many goddamn germs would that be?!"

"... Fresh air, baby, think fresh air."

"I had an acute coronary vascular procedure this morning. I'm Britt today and he specifically booked me into the operating room."

"I canceled the surgery."

"what?!"

"Honey, I've seen the medical records. The patient's condition is stable and he won't die today. It will be the same if he has another operation tomorrow."

"why?"

"Because you're going camping with us."

"No." Qiao Zhen was very firm. "I was born in a big city, I don't fit in where there is no electricity, no toilets, no toilet paper, no bath water, no alcohol! I grew up in bars, camping is not for me! Plus, I hate bugs and bacteria!"

"Back to nature, games between men... Qiao Zhen, you really don't want to go?"

"No. It's empty and no one has walked through the gloomy trails. There are no directions on the landmarks. Even GPS can't locate the forest. There are no unknown places on the map?! Marcus, there is a virgin forest! There are all kinds of mosquitoes, there are all kinds Dirty things, and all kinds of unknown disgusting plants!" Qiao Zhen seemed to be quite experienced, and obviously hated this pastime.

"...Even if it is possible to see the Karen family hunting? You know, this is the first time you have seen our blood clan hunting."

"..."

"Joe Zhen, you brought silver tableware?" On the way to Forks Town, Carlo, Caius and Karen's father were in one car, and Edward, Qiao Zhen, Marcus and Ray were in the other car. rice.When Edward saw Qiao Zhen packed a whole set of shiny silverware in the picnic basket, he said rather embarrassingly.

"……is there any problem?"

"Qiao Zhen, have you forgotten that we are all blood race?"

"Uh……"

"Also, Qiao Zhen, sportswear and jeans?"

"how?"

"You'll freeze your ass off." Edward circled Qiao Zhen as if he had discovered a new big toy dog. "Oh, it looks like you're right. You've never been camping, have you?"

Qiao Zhen was actually very guilty, but he had a very strong personality. He always taunted others by himself, and never allowed himself to be taunted for a day.So he immediately countered: "I wore a jacket to keep warm!"

"Oh, don't grit your teeth and say nothing when you're shivering in the middle of the night." Edward laughed.

Marcus heard coughing and whispering in a low voice: "Joe Zhen, don't listen to him, I asked Remy to bring you a thick down jacket. You can change it when you get off the car later."

Qiao Zhen gave Marcus a hard look. "I told you, I'm not suitable for the jungle. I thought of my purpose and let me have a drink first. I guess the situation will be better."

"There is no bar in Fox Town." Marcus was stunned for two seconds, then whispered.

"It's impossible. Beauties like bars... All beauties... like bars. Even Fox Town, it doesn't make sense that there will be no bars after you occupy the territory."

"...It won't be there when you go, I promise." Marcus smiled. Although he was still very weak, it didn't prevent him from showing the coercion of a 3000-year-old vampire.

"I hate you." Qiao Zhenzhen looked at Marcus in disbelief, and finally murmured.

"It's my honor."

"...Do you know that I will be lonely without Bambi and Ribs?"

"Trust me, they won't."

"Britt he will miss me."

"..."

"And Richard, he's going to make a mess without me, I need to stay in Seattle, stay in the Seattle hospital and watch them."

"They are all adults, not as serious as you said. Besides, Richard didn't become like this after meeting you. He was not killed by those women before, so if you go for a day or two, he will still be spared."

"...Did I ever say I hate you?"

"You just said it 2 minutes ago. Okay, okay, I get it, Qiao Zhen, get in the car now. For me, okay?"

"...Okay. I reluctantly promise you." Qiao Zhen sat beside Marcus sullenly. Now that Marcus is weak and needs to be taken care of, this important task naturally falls on Qiao Zhen.He has to take care of trivial matters, which are specifically classified into five categories-eating, drinking, and sleeping.But Qiao Zhen didn't feel unhappy at all.

"Thank you for your understanding." Marcus gently shook Qiao Zhen's hand. "Don't be unhappy, if you don't like it, I'll tell them, let's go next time."

"Is there a next time?! Oh, no. This time it's fine. Next time I won't necessarily have such a good temper sitting in the car." Qiao Zhen murmured pessimistically.

The car started, and Marcus smiled docilely as he saw Qiao Zhen sleeping soundly in his arms like a child. "Young boy, if your partner can achieve Qiao Zhen's level, I agree with your view of love." Edward glanced at Qiao Zhen while driving, feeling a little emotional in his mind for a moment.Both of them remained silent until they reached Fox Town, and the whole carriage was peaceful.It was peaceful and calm.

Until someone called the beeper crazily, and Qiao Zhen ejected from the soft and comfortable leather seat. "Damn it...it's [-]/[-]." Qiao Zhen looked at the road sign next to him, desperately realizing that they had almost reached the edge of Forks, Qiao Zhen simply pulled out the battery in front of the other two.

"Why don't you take it?"

"And then spend another three or four hours rushing back to hear that Richard has performed a wonderful operation? I'd rather not know. Out of sight, out of mind."

"There is progress." Marcus smiled and stretched out his hand. "give it to me."

"what?"

"I'll keep it for you."

"Okay." Qiao Zhen obediently placed the pager in Marcus's hand, which he had no strength to fully stretch.

"Let's go hunting."

"No, you're wrong. I watched them hunt."

"..."

Qiao Zhen looked at the stopped Hummer. There was a large forest in front of him. Looking far away, there were rolling mountains at the border. The emerald green color made everything beautiful. Coupled with the perennial fog in Fox Town, this place is like those novels about comprehension in the oriental world. It is like a famous mountain produced here, with a sense of immortality.

"Where is this place?" Although Qiao Zhen doesn't like leisure activities such as survival in the wild, this does not prevent him from admiring the beauty of this place.

"This is the junction of Mount Rainier and Mount Adams. The dense vegetation in the distance is our destination, Goat Rock Wilderness Reserve."

Qiao Zhen shrugged. He didn't know the name of the place, and his previous attempt to search with GPS failed. "Such a beautiful place should really be developed into a nature reserve or something, or signed to the local tourism bureau to develop into some kind of resort... Then it would be nice to have a five-star hotel." Qiao Zhen shrugged and joked.Of course, although this place is beautiful, this is the hunting ground that the Karen family worked so hard to obtain, so how could it be easily opened to the outside world?

"Pass the end of the Goat Rock Wilderness Reserve, and the west is the beach, which is a restricted area. Qiao Zhen, remember, once you enter there, we may break out into war." Edward smiled, obviously knowing that Qiao Zhen He was joking, he didn't pick up his words, and continued to speak on his own, his handsome face seemed a little tense, and it seemed that he was a little too nervous.But he can't be blamed, this is the first time in 100 years that he took humans to visit him to hunt.

"Oh man, I know, you and your family are well prepared for this show, but the beach? Hey, you mean this winter? Give me a break."

"That's good." Edward showed a gentle smile.The golden-eyed vampire was obviously relieved.

"Why?" Qiao Zhen's innate sixth sense made him feel a little unusual, so he hurriedly leaned over and asked with interest.

"Uh...it's a werewolf." Edward glanced at Marcus cautiously, and then said cautiously.

"..." Qiao Zhen took a breath excitedly, and immediately ran back to the front of the car, grabbed Marcus's hand and said excitedly. "Oh, God, did you hear what Edward said, he said...he said there were werewolves. Damn, do I really live on Earth?!"

"WELL, WELL, WELL. Obviously, Dr. Qiao Zhen, you don't know enough about the earth you are on." At this time, another Hummer also came to a beautiful flick at the end of the road and stopped, followed by a flaxen head. Carlo with long hair came down, obviously he heard Qiao Zhen whispering excitedly.

Qiao Zhen glanced at him, then shook his head arrogantly, revealing most of the dark back of his head.To be honest, he hated the man's old-fashioned dandy opening—WELL, WELL, WELL.It's just disgusting!However, he resolutely refused to admit that he hated this opening line because of the embarrassment last time.He would never admit that he was venting his anger.

Edward's heart skipped a beat when he saw Qiao Zhen's provocative appearance, and he blocked Qiao Zhen's body behind him with instinctive worry. In his opinion, if a human being is so provocative, according to the brutal personality of Carlo and others, he would be torn to pieces immediately.

Something unexpected happened, Carlo just shrugged, walked over and patted Qiao Zhen on the shoulder. "They are not real werewolves. The real werewolves have almost been killed by Caius. I remember I told you last night."

"Oh, you mean your bedtime stories? I forgot all about it after opening two chests and a buddy's head, sorry." Qiao Zhen turned around and looked at Carlo with a wicked smile.Obviously, this vampire couldn't stand the jokes that the interns took for granted, and his complexion immediately turned pale—although he was already pale enough.

Edward was amazed to see the two people getting along quite peacefully, almost feeling like he was really in an alien planet.Apparently, Karen's father thought the same when he came down with Caius. Similarly, he gave his son a look of surprise and surprise.

In fact, getting along with Carlo and the others is very simple. Qiao Zhen didn't regard them as vampires at all, but just regarded them as a group of "normal people" with different diets. Moreover, when everyone thought the table jokes of vampires were eerie, only Qiao Zhen The smile is quite hearty.This surprised the two 3000-year-old blood clansmen who were planning to scare to death this thin little oriental doctor.Naturally, the hostility disappeared.Qiao Zhen's desire for blood even surpassed that of some vampires.This is Carlo's evaluation of him.Caius believes that Marcus has found a "companion" who does not rely on sucking human blood.As it turns out, they hit it off pretty well.

"The products here are really rich." Qiao Zhen couldn't help whispering when he chopped off the Nth unknown plant with a machete in his hand.In order to accommodate Qiao Zhen's physical strength, several people all reduced their running speed by coincidence, and walked together in the forest. They met countless rabbits and deer along the way. According to Edward's words, there are often wolves, leopards and even bears here. Large beasts haunt.

"That's why it became our hunting ground." Karen's father said with a smile, and put himself between Carlo, Caius and Qiao Zhen intentionally or unintentionally.As the amount of exercise increases, the fragrance of someone becomes stronger and stronger.He even saw the faint silver under the scarlet eyes of Caius.

About 10 minutes later, they saw Emmett, another member of the Cullen family, near Goat Rock.Karen and Alice.The Karen siblings and Rosalie.Hale and Jasper.The Hale siblings, except Esme.Karen.They are all here.Qiao Zhen glanced at them and found that their expressions were quite serious.It seems that waiting for them is not a gluttonous feast, but some kind of torture.

"Hey, Emmett, are you okay?" Qiao Zhen stepped forward and patted the big man on the shoulder indifferently. "I am coming again."

"Joe Zhen? You shouldn't have come." Emmett saw him with complicated eyes, and he said softly.

"Oh, come on. You know, you are not suitable for being sentimental. Sensitivity should be left to girls, you say yes, Alice."

Alice smiled a little, looking much better, and jumped gracefully and briskly beside him. "Marcus didn't come?"

"Remy was with him in the car, he just brought me to see, it's not convenient to come." Qiao Zhen said indifferently.

Of course, no one said the meaning of this hunt, and there was a reason why Qiao Zhen didn't refuse so thoroughly.Although Caius, Carlo and Qiao Zhen get along well, it doesn't mean they have forgotten their original position.They need a steadfast, ally or companion, to be Marcus' mate.Cowardly, soft, called a human creature, it does not meet the aesthetic standards of the Volturi family.But obviously Qiao Zhen's first impression was very scary, and Carlo had to re-evaluate Qiao Zhen's uncertainty, so this hunt came about.Qiao Zhen is a smart person. He has always been very good at dealing with these dark creatures. In fact, he didn't think it would be so difficult to bring two 3000-year-old blood races with him to watch a truly savage hunt without changing his face or beating his heart.

"Oh, Esme didn't come either, she stayed at home today." Alice laughed.

Qiao Zhen nodded, he knew that this was a matter of territory between blood clans.Just like bringing Carlo and Caius today, in Fox Town, although they are distinguished, they are still guests. They are welcomed by Carlisle, the gentle and handsome patriarch of the Karen family.Karen will invite you to come here, otherwise they will not be able to step here easily, otherwise it will be a battle of death and death.

Before that, Marcus had already talked to him about many things about the Cullen family, such as blood habits, abilities, taboos, etc., and that Edward was actually a hostage in his own family. Marcus also discussed with Qiao Zhen.edward.To be honest, Qiao Zhen didn't care too much about Karen and the Karen family.So the question didn't bother him.In the future, there will be wars between the two families or something else, it will be up to Carlisle and Carlo to decide, he has no preference.

However, Qiao Zhen soon put these things behind her.Today's topic is hunting.He allowed himself a little excitement in Marcus' absence.According to Marcus, in fact, the members of their Volturi family did not have the ability to knock any of them unconscious and drag them to the operating room for slicing, let alone these two elders.Therefore, he suppressed these thoughts for the time being, and transferred them to other things, such as hunting.

In his conception, Marcus lives by sucking blood from the hospital, and only drinks some seasoned drinks, such as red wine.It doesn't constitute Qiao Zhen's full knowledge of the blood race.What he needs now is strength, speed, and the thrill of brutal, naked, bloody violence.Well, he admitted that he was almost driven crazy by the two experimental materials that could walk and move but couldn't slice, so he needed some serious material to relax his nerves.

"Then, who will take me?" Qiao Zhen licked her lips involuntarily, and said frantically under Carlisle's worried eyes.

"Oh, Qiao Zhen, it's Emmett who is here to take you, I wish you good luck." Alice smiled, rolled her big eyes and said quickly: "I saw some just now, and I suddenly feel that today's hunt will be very successful. You and Emmett are also very compatible - there are few people who can appreciate his skills."

"OK, come on, boy, climb on my back and let's go." A surprised expression flashed across Emmett's face, and then he laughed and squatted down without hesitation.It seemed that he believed Alice very much.

Qiao Zhen knows that their blood clan has some special abilities other than physics, but Qiao Zhen doesn't want to delve into this ability based on human psychology. After all, no one likes a friend who breaks the casserole and asks the end, unless you are really close friends. .

Qiao Zhen quickly climbed onto his back, and then let Emmett quickly lead him to their hunting place.He was the first to shoot through the woods like a bullet, and the others followed.Qiao Zhen could even feel the wind whistling past his ears. He tried his best to keep his eyes wide open to watch Emmett cross canyons with ease. The huge jumping power and speed made Qiao Zhen involuntarily soar with adrenaline.Other blood races surrounded him, first of all there were two quite eye-catching and proud figures, then Alice's nimble and small figure, then the leader of the elegant Cullen family, followed by Edward and Rosalie, and Jasper in the A little farther back, it seems to be paying attention to the formation or being on guard for something else.

It's so damn exciting.Qiao Zhen thought.Even the "ultimate acceleration car" in Ohio, which claims a speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour and a limit of more than 400 vertical feet, is better than... sex.After Emmett easily crossed another hurdle, Qiao Zhen thought silently.Oh shit, now he kind of wants to be like Marcus.

Not long after, Jasper suddenly fell behind and let out a long howl, and then the whole team became faster, and Edward suddenly turned around, thinking about going deeper into the jungle, like a leopard full of strength, his back Powerful and brutal.

Suddenly, Emmett growled in a low voice: "Hold on, I found it!" There was bloodthirsty excitement in his tone.

Qiao Zhen only felt a shaking, and in an instant, his eyes became brighter.It was an open field, with some slightly shorter and dense shrubs, and standing in the middle of the open field - it was a beautiful brown bear!

Oh, what a thrill!Qiao Zhen looked at the brown bear with a little excitement in his eyes.Let the hearts of the two thousand-year-old blood races who came later move, and the two of them quietly took over Emmett's care work.And Emmett stood in front of the brown bear excitedly and without fear.

This is a young male brown bear. It is tall and strong. It seems to be more than three meters tall. It has a very strong body, with high muscles on its shoulders and back. It looks like a brown hill from a distance.Seeing the uninvited guest, it issued a Goldman Sachs roar.Qiao Zhen even felt the whole earth vibrate with this roar.

At the same time, standing in front of it, Emmett was not to be outdone, and first let out a sharp roar, which looked much thinner than the brown bear, and his body was like an off-string arrow, which was inserted less than one meter in front of the brown bear in an instant. Pale palms were imprinted on its abdomen, and following the changed roar, before the brown bear could react, it quickly jumped up high, and the two arms seemed to break the brown bear's neck without a sound. .The huge roar stopped suddenly... The brown bear fell heavily in the middle of the open ground like a hill.It didn't even take more than a second.

"Oh, that's really awesome shit!" I don't know if other men can control their frenzy and keep their blood boiling when they see such a scene, at least Qiaozhen can't.When the brown bear crashed to the ground, he couldn't help saying loudly. "Emmett, you are simply amazing." This is simply a perfect interpretation of complete strength and speed.At this moment, Qiao Zhen felt without hesitation that the end of human evolution is the blood race...

Qiao Zhen now felt that he was completely deceived by Marcus, deceived by that blood clan with liar-like rhetoric and gentleman-like elegance.For a moment he turned his eyes to look at Caius, this silent and ruthless man with exquisite facial features, snow-white long hair, slender like David.

Caius didn't have time to think about why Qiao Zhen was the first to look at him instead of Carlo. Logically speaking, Carlo and Qiao Zhen were more familiar.But he still couldn't help taking a step back, Qiao Zhen's bright eyes gave him a very, very bad feeling.

The scented little thing suddenly whispered: "If Emmett is just a cub with such great power...then who is stronger between him and Marcus?" There was a look of eagerness in the big eyes.

Caius opened his mouth and before he could speak, Carlo suddenly grabbed Qiao Zhen's hand and said, "Qiao Zhen, now, tell me, what do you think?"

Qiao Zhen glanced at Carlo, hesitated.

"It doesn't matter if you tell the truth."

"Oh, it's nothing. I just suddenly felt that it's not a shame to be under his pressure."

"..." Carlo's perfect smile twitched for a moment. "Sweetie Qiao Zhen, is this what you want to say?"

"Uh... maybe more."

"what?"

"I can use the sphincter without worrying about breaking him too."

"..."

Since then, Carlo and Caius have been completely defeated.
