Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Nightmare

"Um?"

"Uh-huh?"

"Husband, please say something!"

Her head was right next to his ear, and if her neck wasn't so long and intimidating, she would have twisted it so that she was staring at him.

"Can I have what?" Jiang Xi insisted.

Jingcheng: “…”

My face turned red and it was so hard to hold it in.

Damn! How can a stinky man pretend to be dead? Jiang Qian then pinched Jingcheng's earlobe with a thick two-finger glove to show her authority.

"Are you dumb?"

"Yeah, that's right," Jingcheng replied perfunctorily. "Ah, that's not right."

This is incoherent!

Jiang Xi: “???” She became more and more suspicious.

There must be something wrong here!

"I asked you yesterday," Jingcheng said, finally catching his breath and pretending to be calm. "I asked if you could grow more vegetables. I love them."

Jiang Xi: “…………”

She also heard it yesterday, but unfortunately, she was skipping while listening.

Only heard half of it.

I missed the four most crucial words, so the only thing left is the full screen of "OK?"

"Huh?" It feels weird, something doesn't seem right.

Jiang Xi frowned, "Really?"

"Yeah." Jingcheng nodded.

He usually doesn't lie, but when he does, he does it without changing his expression or heartbeat. It's not a skill, it's all talent.

"Okay." Jiang Yi compromised.

He actually asked her to grow more vegetables?

I really would thank you.

Visibly disappointed, she complained to herself, "How wonderful it would be if you asked me if you could make love with me..."

“Ahem—!”

Jingcheng almost choked to death on his own saliva.

"Of course not, baby."

Jingcheng refused hurriedly.

Jiang Xi immediately exploded, "I'm using you as a reminder!!"

Jingcheng: “.” As quiet as a chicken.

The No. 2 bus is very convenient. We arrived at the ice mouth in no time.

Jingcheng put Jiang Xi down.

She was still sulking at him, sitting on the fishing stool without saying a word.

Jingcheng put all the items away one by one.

They even put the fishing bait on her and handed her the fishing rod. From the moment she entered the house to the moment she was buried, the service in the fishing area of ​​the scenic area was not as thoughtful as this!

Jiang Xi can now wait quietly for the float to shake and the fish to take the bait.

There are many other things to do in Jingcheng.

Although they came here to fish today, he also brought a woven cage net, which was particularly deep and long. He would put the net down now and wait until they were about to leave before pulling it back in to try his luck.

Then he sat back next to Jiang Xi and they went fishing together.

Fishing is a long and demanding job that requires a lot of patience, and one often has to sit for a whole day.

Staying still for a long time can easily make people feel sleepy, and wearing too warm clothes will make people even more sleepy.

Looking at Jiang Xi's slightly closed eyes under the cold-proof mask, Jingcheng sighed, what a sleepyhead she is.

Suddenly, the buoy twitched downwards violently.

"You've taken the bait! Baby." Jingcheng reminded.

Jiang Xi was in a daze.

So Jingcheng simply helped her to finish the club.

Jiang Qian suddenly woke up, "Ah! I caught something??"

Looking at the almost transparent fat ice fish that Jingcheng put into the fish bucket, Jiang Xi couldn't believe it.

"Yes, baby, you are great!" Jingcheng praised her while re-baiting her fishing rod.

It had only been a short while since he came out when he caught a fish, marking a great victory.

Jiang Xi was no longer sleepy and stared at the water intently.

In less than a minute, the buoy moved again!

"Jingcheng!!" She lowered her voice excitedly, "Did you take the bait?"

"Closing the club, closing the club!" Jing Cheng was busy.

"It's so heavy!" Jiang Qian pulled the fishing rod upwards with great effort.

Finally, with Jingcheng's help, she completed a double kill.

Now, there are two fish in the ice bucket...

Caught again?

Jingcheng was a little confused.

Seeing that Jiang Ying had already caught two fish, but he still had no fish, he began to wonder if he had forgotten to put bait on his fishing rod.

Otherwise, why did the fish only bite the rod on her side?

On the third cast, Jingcheng didn't believe it and secretly pretended to put on a layer of bait. In fact, most of the hooks were empty and would fall apart as soon as they entered the water.

Then something weird happened.

"Wow, there are so many fish here!" Jiang Qian exclaimed, otherwise how could she catch one every time!

Number three, it’s coming!!

Jingcheng: “???”

Is this correct?

He continued diligently to put bait on Jiang Xi's fishing rod.

But at this time, Jiang Ting's enthusiasm for fishing had been fully aroused.

"I can do it myself!"

So Jingcheng told her how to bait the bait, and she imitated Jingcheng's movements to bait the bait.

There is no doubt about the result.

Just one minute into the water, another fish took the bait!

"Ah, this?"

The moment the fish was pulled out of the water, Jiang Xi was shocked.

What the hell is this, a deformed fish?

After Jingcheng helped catch it with a scoop net, the two of them got closer to take a look.

It wasn't a deformity, it was actually two fish biting her hook at the same time.

Jiang Xi: “…”

Jingcheng: “…”

Now that things have come to this, what else can he say?

The surname Jiang must have a certain meaning. The God of Fishing... is convinced! In just half an hour, the fish bucket was packed to the brim.

One, two, three, four, five...

There are actually eight fish swimming in it!

Looking at the bucket in Jingcheng again, there was nothing but cold lake water.

Oh my God, Jingcheng suddenly realized a terrible fact. If he hadn't brought Jiang Qian with him today, he might have returned empty-handed.

No! He couldn't accept himself being so incompetent.

We are already "incompetent" in some areas, but we cannot be incompetent in life anymore!

Quietly change the track and go fishing.

“Jingcheng!!”

Not long after he went to wait at another ice mouth, Jiang Xi's voice sounded behind him.

Caught another big fat fish?

As soon as he turned around, he found Jiang Xi running to his side.

"Look..."

Jiang Xi's expression was a little frightened, and she was talking about a black dot not far away.

The eyesight of people with special abilities is far superior to that of ordinary people. Jiang Xi saw it, so he could naturally see it too, and even more clearly than her.

"What is that?" Although she couldn't see clearly, Jiang Qian always felt an inexplicable fear in her heart.

Because there was no such thing there just now!

The sudden appearance of such a sudden black spot in the vast snowfield is really worrying.

Jingcheng didn't say anything and immediately concentrated his mental power.

Jiang Qian was not unfamiliar with Jing Cheng's actions.

In just a few seconds, several transparent barrier walls appeared around her.

On this white ice lake, a square cubic space was instantly created, surrounding Jiang Qian.

Jingcheng's voice was even colder than his expression.

"Don't come out."

These things...

It's a zombie!!

It was just a small dot at first, and then it rushed towards them from all directions.

There was no time to worry about why such a large number of zombies suddenly attacked them. What Jingcheng needed to do now was to get rid of them all as soon as possible.

In an instant, lightning flashed on the ice lake, supernatural mental power exploded continuously, the flesh and limbs of zombies flew everywhere, and the scene was quite bloody.

Jiang Qian watched the battle nervously. She stayed in the safe air protection room, while Jing Cheng was fighting alone outside with hundreds of zombies with glowing red eyes.

She can't do anything!

It is worth mentioning that Jingcheng was careful this time. The air protection room he built had no door, so Jiang Xi had no way to get out of it.

However, at least a window was left for her.

The more zombies are killed, the more there are!

Jiang Xi was anxious and worried, and she really wanted to help him.

Suddenly, she saw the fish bucket that was framed in together.

In fact, it’s not that she can’t do anything.

With a splash, the cold water poured onto the ice surface, and even a fly's legs would slip when it landed on it.

The zombies that ran onto the wet ice surface lost their balance and fell to the ground one by one, just like they were on an ice rink.

The ones in front fell down first, and then the ones behind followed, like a string of candied haws, seven or eight of them fell down in a row.

Later, when there was no water, the effect of throwing fish was the same.

Stepping on the fish was like stepping on a Hot Wheels, and it was going to sail away today.

Fortunately, the situation changed significantly before all the fish were thrown away.

Aside from the zombies that were knocked down by Jiang Ying and fell directly onto the ice, where they were attacked by the sticky fly screens frozen in the liquid on the slippery rink and stuck to them for a long time, all of them died. The rest of the zombies that had reached Jingcheng were also cleared out.

Is it gone?

Jingcheng naturally knew that the reason why he was able to get rid of all the zombies so quickly was because Jiang Qian was trying hard to help him.

"Woo woo!" As soon as the air protection room was removed, Jiang Qian ran towards him, and then without noticing -

"Be careful." Jingcheng quickly hugged her to prevent her from having a close collision with the ice surface.

I almost hurt myself.

However, there are more reasons why all the zombies were cleared out so quickly.

A person with super powers?

The hand that was pinching the last zombie's neck slowly dropped down, and the zombie with its foot on the beacon wheel was ultimately not spared.

Without the blocking of the zombie army, the two teams could only look at each other from a distance.

In Jingcheng's arms, Jiang Qian saw the group of psychics in combat uniforms walking towards them.

These people blocked the horde of zombies that kept besieging the two men, and also accelerated the resolution of this thrilling encounter.

who are they?

They had met members of the big guild before, who had passed by them in the trade resource exchange market.

The president of the Midnight Sun Guild politely explained that they were originally in the process of cleaning up the zombie nest, and maybe a few zombies ran out. I hope they were not scared, right?

How many?

He is really good at counting.

The crisis is over now, and Jingcheng and Jiang Qian don't want to have anything to do with the people in the guild. If possible, try not to have contact with any outsiders to avoid increasing the risk of exposure.

It seems that this is the only fish I can catch today.

After rejecting the invitation to join the Polar Day Guild's president Qin Zhou, Jing Cheng put the fishing gear together, then hugged Jiang Xi and made a direct space jump. In the blink of an eye, they were back next to their parked snowmobile.

As for the team of psychics, they were still standing there, looking over here.

"They left!" Jiang Xi was surprised. She thought they were going to return step by step along the same route.

"Well," Jingcheng quickened his pace, "let's go home!"

The snowmobile also started to make the jump, and soon it had covered half the distance.

"Huh? That's not right," Jiang Qian suddenly realized something. "If you could just teleport me to the car, why did you drag me along to walk in the first place?"

Jingcheng: “…”

What else could it be?

He told the truth, "Because I want to carry my wife on my back."

-

I came back earlier than expected.

It's not completely dark yet.

Jiang Ying threw in a few fish, but there was still half left in the bucket. Together with the small fish and shrimps that Jing Cheng caught with the cage net, it was enough for them to eat for a while.

The group of zombies that suddenly appeared on the ice were all of high level, and most of them had mature crystal cores in their brains.

But in the current situation, who would have the mood to stay like the chef?

"Ahhh, what a loss! What a loss!" After knowing this, Jiang Qian covered her head, as if she was wearing a mask of pain.

Wrong! People don't like to suffer losses.

Who asked those guys for help? They are meddling in other people’s business. She and Jingcheng teamed up to kill people indiscriminately!

Alas, the crystal cores can only be given to them at a low price now.

Jingcheng comforted her, saying that it was okay, there were still many zombie nests in the polar circle, and once he recovered his mental strength, he would be able to make back his losses and earn even more!

The hot dishes were served, and the fragrance of the snow-white fish soup made her mouth water. With the delicious food in front of her, Jiang Qian temporarily forgot about the huge fortune that she had missed out on.

Jingcheng said nothing during the meal.

However, after the meal, when Jiang Xi had almost digested the food, he took her hand and spoke to her earnestly.

"Baby, we might have to move."

-

"Moving!?" Jiang Xi widened her eyes.

She didn't want to move from the bottom of her heart, after all, she had lived here for a long time, but considering what had happened in the past few days, it was indeed a bit strange.

It turned out that not only she saw the white flashes that sometimes appeared inexplicably around the cabin, Jingcheng also saw them.

But neither of them told the other.

Jiang Qian thought she was seeing things, but Jing Cheng didn't want her to be frightened. These spots of light were the refracted light emitted by the psychics in the sunlight after their mental power was exhausted.

It may not be easy to see in other cluttered areas, but it is nowhere to hide in the vast, monotonous snowfield.

In other words, what happened today was most likely not an accident. The activities of people with special abilities in their vicinity suddenly became much more frequent.

This is not a good sign.

Since they moved here, they have hardly encountered any people with special abilities. Even if there are any, they are all lone wolves living with their families.

In any case, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Seeing Jiang Xi lowered her head and remained silent.

"Don't you want to move?" Jingcheng pinched her soft fingers.

"A lot of vegetables in the garden haven't grown yet. Besides," Jiang Ying raised her head and pouted, emphasizing, "I just planted a lot of vegetable seeds!"

Your favorite food!

"I think I can take the vegetable garden with me," Jingcheng roughly calculated the area, "but the chicken coops, duck sheds, and sheep pens will have to be thrown away..."

If this is also included, then the distance they move will definitely not go beyond the polar circle.

"Ah, you don't want those anymore?"

Jiang Xi was shocked. She stared at their property with green eyes like a little Grandet. "But, those were all newly built with your hard work."

"Besides, the market will open in the middle of the month soon, and we'll have chicks and ducklings soon!"

Wow, I feel so sad. It feels like I have to throw away my luggage when my boat takes on water at sea!

"Actually..." Seeing Jiang Qian so conflicted, Jing Cheng couldn't bear it. If he hadn't been at his wit's end, how could he have resorted to such a desperate measure? Humans are emotional animals. If they live in a place for too long, they will feel reluctant to leave.

Maybe he was too nervous and saw danger in everything.

They can't be considered desperate now...

"How about this first," Jing Cheng made a compromise based on the actual situation, "Let's observe for a few more days and see?"

Moving suddenly is indeed difficult to accept at first.

"Perhaps the increased activity in the zombie-hunting psychics is due to last night's meteor shower?"

He gave a reasonable explanation.

"Will it matter?" Jiang Xi's eyes were filled with strong anticipation.

After all, no one wants to experience an ending like that, where that group of people are specifically targeting them.

"Yes." Jingcheng knew a lot about zombies, such as these natural phenomena would have an impact on the creatures on the planet.

It is possible for something to be curbed or become a nutrient for growth.

"Very good!"

After hearing Jingcheng's words, Jiang Qian's heart calmed down a little. She sincerely hoped that it would be best if everything was done by the meteor shower, and those psychics, those zombies, and the nightmares in their hearts had nothing to do with each other.

She really doesn't want to move!

Late at night, the Milky Way hangs upside down, and the light flickers.

Stars are falling on the snow, twinkling.

Jiang Xi fell asleep in Jing Cheng's arms.

But she didn't sleep so well tonight.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his brows were furrowed, as if he was struggling in another world.

"Jingcheng! Jingcheng!"

Suddenly, an urgent cry came from the bedroom.

Terrified by the nightmare, Jiang Xi woke up crying and screaming.

"What's wrong? Baby!" Jingcheng also woke up and said repeatedly, "I'm here."

"Husband..." Looking at the man's face in front of her, Jiang Qian couldn't help but break down. She hugged his neck, her throat choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face. "I dreamed of fire..."

"There's fire everywhere! Fire is burning in the snow! It's burning our home... woooooo..."

She spoke intermittently and sobbed uncontrollably.

flame.

A fire burning in the snow...?

Jingcheng's heart sank into an ice cellar after hearing her words.

Fortunately, he was relatively calm.

Whatever you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

"It was just a dream, baby, don't be afraid."

He kept comforting her and instilling a sense of security in her.

"Lu Suye no longer has any special abilities. How can there still be an eternal fire that can burn on the snow?"

She understood Jingcheng's words and the logic behind them.

Sadly, this dream was all too real.

Jingcheng's few words and warm, wide hug were not enough to dispel the fear deeply rooted in Jiang Xi's heart.

Because she truly couldn't afford to be found by the Bliss Guild, nor could she separate from the man she deeply loved...

"Move, please, Jingcheng!"

She said this with trembling voice, holding the man's face in front of her and crying.

"Move! I don't want anything anymore."

“I only want you!!”

"good."

Jingcheng responded decisively, "Let's move."
