Chapter 92 The things below began to form a human ladder, layer upon layer, like a funeral procession...

The things below started building a human ladder, layer upon layer, like a terrifying zombie siege! One person stepped on another to climb up, and those who came first were trampled underfoot by those who came later.

Their eyes were fixed on Nangong Qi, who shivered.

"Hurry up! Hurry! They're coming up!" Nangong Qi shouted.

"Huh? They can get up here? They can fly?"

"No, but they're stacked up!"

"Oh, won't the ones down there get crushed to death?" Hu Ji still had the leisure to ask.

"...Probably." Looking at all the creatures below, *poof*—what the heck? Nangong Qi wiped her mouth in confusion. Why was she spitting blood? Her vision was also a little blurry. She wiped it again and found that blood was flowing from her nose as well.

The blood sank straight down due to gravity, and the things below smelled even more acrid and restless.

“It seems we can’t let them continue like this. Let’s go down.” Hu Ji sighed.

It flew slowly outwards, and the people below no longer formed a human ladder.

They started chasing after them relentlessly.

"I knew killing them wouldn't be a good thing." Hu Ji looked at Nangong Qi, who seemed to be hugging a blood-soaked figure.

"Damn it! I just don't understand! If they kill me, I die. I haven't even touched them yet, so it's just suicide for them. Why am I still the one who's injured? It's not fair at all." Nangong Qi spat out the blood in her mouth with difficulty and said indignantly.

"They really do understand you perfectly." Hu Ji smiled and made a joke that Nangong Qi didn't find funny at all.

With his gaze fixed on the ground, where nothing could be seen, he aimed and fired.

Boom—

"Wow, amazing! You can even fire cannons!" Nangong Qi looked outside in shock, feeling as if she were experiencing a final burst of energy before death.

......

"Did they fall down?" Huji asked.

Nangong Qi squinted with difficulty and nodded. The shells hadn't harmed these things, but the ground had sank in. Naturally, those things went down with them.

After they fell down and their vision decreased, they could no longer see Nangong Qi, so they stopped working together to build the ladder and scattered in all directions in a chaotic mass.

These things probably won't be able to come up for a while, so Hu Ji took Nangong Qi and flew away.

Gently put Nangong Qi down and returned to the original spot. She found that Nangong Qi's eyes were starting to lose sight, and bloody tears were welling up. She was making a roaring sound, but... it was impossible to hear what she was saying.

It struggled a few times and then stopped moving.

The mortal didn't see, nor could it see, those things below that began to frantically devour their own kind. Once they realized they couldn't get out, they immediately began to devour everything. They couldn't destroy a single blade of grass or tree; they could only touch their own kind.

After Nangong Qi had completely stopped breathing, Hongji sighed regretfully, "I'm sorry to have made you die again."

Suddenly, the corpse lying on the ground began to look unfamiliar. The change was gradual, almost imperceptible, but the body became deformed and ugly before disappearing.

Hongji paused for a moment, then jumped into the pit as if he had thought of something. A few minutes later, he came out carrying Nangong Qi, who appeared to be unharmed.

A few minutes later, Nangong Qidu's mind began to load memories, recalling everything that happened before her death.

"Why! Why! Why should I be the one to die!" She got up angrily, not noticing anything unusual.

"Why is it that I'm the one who killed me, but I can't even hurt them!" Having died three times, Nangong Qi felt like she was going crazy, and she frantically started pulling at her hair.

He started biting his nails and doing meaningless things. He could communicate just a moment ago, but now he is completely unable to respond to the outside world.

Hu Ji sighed. Things were really tough these days. He had no choice but to take out a vial of medicine that had a similar effect to a stimulant but with fewer side effects and better results.

After waiting a while, he asked, "How is it? Can you hear me now?" He gazed at her eyes.

Nangong Qi blinked. "I feel... I feel! I'm great! I'm going to kill those bastards!" Nangong Qi acted immediately, grabbing a stone from the ground and getting to work.

The dosage seemed a bit too high, and after much persuasion, Hu Ji managed to convince Nangong Qi to stop.

“Listen to me, these things are just your imagination. You can control them as long as you stop thinking about them.”

"Don't think about it! Don't think about it! How can I not think about it!" Nangong Qi gasped for breath, then stared blankly into the darkness.

Hu Ji immediately realized what she was thinking. "Nangong Qi!" he shouted, interrupting her thoughts.

Nangong Qi looked at Hongji and realized that she couldn't do that now.

"How about we try to shift our focus? We can give it a try." Hongji reached out his hand, and Nangong Qi handed it to him.

......

"Ah! Delicious! Another glass!" Nangong Qi held a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp. Sometimes wine can relieve sorrow and make people soberly indulge. Your mind is still thinking and your spirit is also excited. At this time, your action is also the strongest.

"Hey little sister! Sing one, sing one!" Before she knew it, Nangong Qi had reached the center of the crowd, the very heart of the celebration.

“Okay! Hiccup—I’ll sing one…I’ll sing one…um, I can’t sing, hiccup—I can dance! How about this handsome guy sings for me!” Nangong Qi pulled over Hu Ji, who was standing to the side.

Huh? What happened? After playing all night, all the pressure was released, and Nangong Qi finally fell asleep.

When Nangong Qi woke up groggily, she found herself with a splitting headache.

"Awake? There's honey water and millet porridge on the table. Drinking these should make you feel better," Hu Ji reminded him.

“Okay…” Nangong Qi obediently drank the honey water, completely different from yesterday.

"Let's go outside for a walk later."

"Want to take a look around?"

"Yes, we're just going to stroll around. We won't do anything or investigate anything. We'll just go have some fun and relax. We won't think about anything."

Nangong Qi was taken outside. After a night of revelry, the place was a mess, and some people slept outside. This was normal, as they didn't have homes and sleeping in the wilderness was common.

But now they're all laughing and joking as they clean up, teasing each other about yesterday's embarrassing situation.

Just as Nangong Qi was still hesitating, someone called out to her, "Hey! Sister Nangong! What dance did you do yesterday? My daughter wants to learn from you."

Nangong Qi turned around and saw the uncle she had been drinking with yesterday!

The stupid things she did yesterday flooded her mind, and Nangong Qi's face instantly turned bright red.

"I...I...I...I...Well, another day, another day," Nangong Qi said awkwardly.

"Alright, this hangover isn't pleasant, would you like some honey water?" the uncle said warmly.

"No need, I've already had some today," Nangong Qi quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"Oh, your family is quite thoughtful. But it's a girl, so they should be more attentive."

Nangong Qi was numb the whole way. She knew that she was now completely famous in this base.

After all, it's the first time someone has danced onto the leader (Aji) and flirted with the deputy (Huoji).

Waaaaah, I'm so embarrassed!

Nangong Qi walked with difficulty. "I don't think I washed up today!" Nangong Qi suddenly realized that she had forgotten something. Oh no, she had even drunk the honey water.

"Okay, let's go back first. I don't need to eat right now, I forgot about that, I'm sorry."

Nangong Qi waved her hand, saying she couldn't possibly mind. She immediately went back and quickly found what appeared to be a prepared set of toiletries.

Hmm? Why did I forget to give it to her even though I prepared everything?

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Nangong Qi began to look around.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Qi was startled by Hu Ji's sudden appearance.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to find a mirror so I could see if I look... well, unkempt." Nangong Qi blushed slightly. Now that she was famous, she felt a little burdened and wanted to salvage her image.

“It seems the base doesn’t have these things right now, but we do have this.” As if by magic, Hu Ji produced a mask.

There's no mirror? I didn't notice when I first arrived, so there probably isn't one.

So she said nothing more and put on the mask with satisfaction.

"Let's go play some more. The celebration isn't completely over yet, and there are still a lot of people outside buying homemade food and toys." With a fatherly attitude towards raising Nangong Qipo, he simply touched his face and transformed into a normal human appearance.

So the two went out again, and thankfully, their strange clothes didn't draw too much attention to them anymore.

Nangong Qi happily wandered around in front of all kinds of snacks, eating one after another, and would stop when she saw something unusual.

"This is wonderful." Nangong Qi exclaimed with satisfaction until her stomach was full and she could no longer hold any more.

"Yes, do you want a house?" Hu Ji suddenly asked.

"A house? Are you kidding me? Here? Now?" Nangong Qi was a little suspicious.

“Of course.” Hu Ji smiled.

......

"Wow! It really is a villa! How did you do that! It's so beautiful, so gorgeous! It's my dream house!" Who hasn't dreamed of owning their own house, designing their own rooms, and now she owns an entire one!

"Of course, it's the power of technology." It was worth it to stay up all night yesterday building houses.

She was absolutely ecstatic!

She ran around the house frantically, exclaiming, "There's a swimming pool! You're so amazing, Hikari! Wow! And a garden too!"

Finally, we arrived at the room "Hōjī, this room is exactly the same as the one I wanted when I was a child".

Nangong Qi lay on the soft bed and closed her eyes.

“Yes, everyone dreamed of having a room like this when they were little.” He stepped forward and found that Nangong Qi was not speaking.

I touched her and found she was asleep. It seems the sleeping pills are a bit slow to take effect; maybe she's developed a resistance.

He seemed to be deep in thought and began to consider tomorrow.
