In an apocalypse overrun by zombies and full of lurking dangers, a saying has always circulated: "When light is devoured, it is the day of the Enigma's descent. They will become the king of...
Chapter 95
Aurora Church
Claire's blonde hair fell behind her shoulders. His eyes were unfocused in the distance, and it was unknown where his thoughts were drifting.
A voice sounded from behind: "Claire, has your god abandoned you?"
Claire, who was sitting alone in a chair, came to her senses and looked at the person who spoke with a gloomy look, "How dare you come here?!"
The person who came was none other than Ebona, who had been lurking in Aurora for over a year. He was now dressed in Aurora's religious robes and looked like an ordinary person from a distance, but a closer look revealed a blurry face. He ignored Claire's defensiveness and shrugged, saying, "Don't speak to me like that. Without me, your star won't wake up."
Hearing Ebona's words, Claire thought of the bite marks on Lou Tiannan's neck and the pheromone scent of bitter eucalyptus on Chen Xing. She clenched her fists and asked, "Why is she so wary of me after waking up?!"
Even though Chen Xing didn't show anything abnormal in front of Claire, Claire was a very good person. She had been with Chen Xing since she was picked up by him. She knew Chen Xing at least 80% well. She thought that after Chen Xing woke up, they could still be like before. But after the recent events, she realized that she could no longer guess what Chen Xing was thinking.
What frightened him even more was that Chen Xing was distancing himself from him.
Just like she had refused his permission to follow her to the 621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute a dozen minutes ago, he didn't know who Chen Xing would meet next, what she would do, or whether she would meet Lou Tiannan, who was also in East District 1...
All this unknown scares Claire...
"Who can I blame? You know better than anyone that she lays eggs and will spontaneously form a deep impression of the first person she sees after breaking out of the shell. I also reminded you that you must be the first person she sees when she breaks out of the cocoon, but you missed it..." Ebona was a little annoyed when he said this.
When Chen Xing was in the cocoon, the outer shell of the cocoon was extremely defensive and external forces could not penetrate. It took a lot of effort to induce Claire to agree to transport zombie melanin into the cocoon. On the surface, he was told that it could help Chen Xing wake up soon, but in fact, the melanin was used to weaken Chen Xing's energy and reduce the resistance in his blood.
But it repeatedly urged Claire to take drastic measures. Claire was indecisive and afraid that something might happen to Chen Xing, so she was reluctant to give the order.
It took a year for the cocoon to move. It warned Claire to pay attention to the cocoon's movements and let Chen Xing see him as soon as she woke up. In fact, it wanted to take advantage of the chaos when Chen Xing broke out of the cocoon and find a chance to devour Chen Xing's consciousness. Even if it couldn't devour her consciousness, with the close relationship between Claire and Chen Xing, Chen Xing would have different emotions towards Claire, and it would be more convenient for it to do anything later. But it never expected that this foolproof plan was ruined by Lou Tiannan!
Now seeing that Chen Xing is so powerful, but he can only hide in a dark corner, Ebona hates Chen Xing and Lou Tiannan so much.
The day before yesterday, it found an opportunity to use the black bone zombie to infect Elena. It wanted to lurk in Elena's body and look for an opportunity to infect Lou Tiannan. However, the tiny wound made Zhu Liang and Wen Xia Xia notice the abnormality. They isolated Elena in advance and asked Lou Tiannan to find Chen Xing to remove the zombie melanin for Elena.
Even if the zombie melanin has invaded Chen Xing for a year, Chen Xing's blood can still have an effect on the zombie melanin.
This is what makes it most uneasy.
Chen Xing must be killed as soon as possible. As long as the Federation loses Chen Xing, it will be just around the corner for it to control all of humanity.
"I missed it...that's why she looks at Lou Tiannan differently..." Claire thought of what happened on the day Chen Xing woke up, and his expression was dazed. He called out to Chen Xing for so long before he woke up, so how could Lou Tiannan take the lead?
Ebona's sinister gaze fell on the distraught Claire, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Claire, don't be discouraged. This reaction will disappear with time. In my opinion, Chen Xing has no feelings for Lou Tiannan. Girls are just greedy for love at their age. What Lou Tiannan has, don't you have too..." It said meaningfully.
How could Claire not understand what Abona meant? Her eyes grew dimmer. "Xingxing treats me..."
The unfinished words ended with a bottle of medicine in front of him.
"What's this?"
"A catalyst that gradually advances your relationship." Ebona said lightly.
Claire hesitated for a moment, then said decisively, "I don't need it!"
Ebona didn't try to persuade him. He slowly retrieved the potion bottle, his tone bewitching: "You don't need a lot. Spray some on yourself, and you'll have everything you want. Don't you really need it?"
"Even if Chen Xing is going to the White Flame Base now, you don't care?" Ebona took out a tablet from his robe. The tablet was broadcasting a live picture. Affected by various magnetic field signals, the picture was blurry, but Claire could still recognize the familiar figure in the picture. It was Chen Xing.
As Abona said, she was on her way to the White Flame base.
Claire stared blankly at Chen Xing in the screen, but saw Chen Xing in the screen stop and look at him. Claire was startled and subconsciously took a step back, but saw that the tablet seemed to be out of power. After flashing a few times, the screen went black.
Abona didn't care. Claire had already seen what it wanted her to see. It casually placed the tablet on the table in front of Claire, and the potion bottle next to it. "My friend, please think about it. If you really don't need it, please help me destroy it."
It lowered its head and turned away.
The moment it turned around, a twisted and evil look flashed across its face.
Long after Ebona left, slender fingers grasped the potion bottle tightly, while the tablet next to the potion bottle was electrocuted and turned to ashes, drifting in the air with the snowflakes...
…
After Chen Xing came out of the 621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute in East District 1, he didn't know where to go for a moment.
Snowflakes fell on her head, face, and shoulders...
Looking at the snowflakes, her consciousness tentacles spontaneously pushed her in one direction.
After only a few steps, she realized that it was the direction of the White Flame Base.
There were Xiao Hehua's students, her friend Elena, an old eunuch whose wife had died, and a little girl named Xiya.
Thinking of Xiya whom he met that day, Chen Xingli rushed towards the Baiyan base without stopping.
The doll in the little girl's arms was made by her. What concerned her more was the doll's left leg and the small dagger. She remembered that the doll she made was not very delicate due to time constraints. She was sure that she did not make a dagger on the doll's left leg, because North, who imprisoned her at the time, would definitely not throw away such a doll as garbage easily.
Although it was just a quick glance, it was enough for her to see several details of the dagger. The small dagger was made in the same way as the pair of black blades on Lou Tiannan's waist.
The doll might have been picked up by the little girl at the end of the world, but it was impossible for the small dagger to fit so perfectly on her leg.
Because Claire came suddenly at that time, she didn't know why she was thinking so that Claire's attention would not be kept on the little girl, so she didn't get entangled with Xiya at that time.
She cares a lot about that doll.
Chen Xing stopped at the outskirts of the Baiyan base and did not move forward.
She noticed that the defense system of the White Flame Base had been strengthened, but it was still vulnerable to her. She was about to make a violent charge, but she caught a glimpse of Xiya running around the White Flame Base... and the doll she was carrying with her.
She raised her eyebrows, what do you mean by effortless.
Zhu Liang, an adult man with A+ level superpowers, could be subdued instantly by Chen Xing, not to mention a little girl who was only B level.
Chen Xing didn't even need to go in. His consciousness tentacles moved out and "kidnapped" Xiya out of the base.
In an underground air-raid shelter not far from the White Flame Base.
Xiya was tied up with ropes all over her body like a dumpling.
Her mouth was also stuffed with a piece of cloth, but she was still angrily expressing her feelings about being tied up: "Mmmmm! Mmmmm!!" Bad woman, let me go!
Chen Xing pulled the doll out from her waist, threw her aside, and ignored her.
When her beloved doll was taken away, Xiya twisted her body desperately to resist.
"Be quiet." Chen Xing looked at her coldly.
Xiya was stunned. This tone sounded like her mother's...
While Xiya was stunned, Chen Xing shook the doll in her hand. She took out the dagger without even looking at it, then looked at the doll that was missing a leg, picked up a piece of scrap metal, and made a dagger in no time.
The doll's left leg was inserted, and it fit perfectly as expected.
She then picked up the dagger that had been stuck in the doll's left leg and compared it with the one she made. Except for the material, the size and shape were exactly the same.
As early as when Chen Xing was hammering and grinding the iron block, Xiya was standing there in a daze.
Why are bad women so similar to mothers?
Chen Xing placed two daggers in front of Xiya and shook them, saying, "I'm going to release your mouth now. You need to answer my questions. If you dare to yell again, these two daggers will pierce your eyes. Nod if you understand."
Xiya blinked her eyes and nodded hesitantly, thinking to herself that the bad woman doesn't look like a mother at all!
Chen Xing pulled the cloth from Xiya's mouth and asked, "Did your mother make this dagger for you?"
"Yes." Xiya replied.
"Who is your mother's partner?" Chen Xing asked again.
Xiya hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately. Chen Xing's tentacles lifted the tip of Xiya's chin, and his consciousness directly invaded her and asked again: "Who is your mother's partner?"
Xiya shook her head in a daze: "I don't know..."
Chen Xing frowned. Hasn't this child met her other parent?
"Did your mother give you this doll?"
"No, I found it."
The doll was picked up, but the dagger was made by her mother. Chen Xing frowned and asked, "Who is your mother?"
Xiya replied without hesitation: "He is the best person in the world!"
Chen Xing: “…”
While she was thinking, she saw Xiya's little brows frowning. She knew that Xiya was too young to withstand the pressure of her consciousness, so she withdrew her consciousness without hesitation.
Xiya immediately collapsed to the ground, covering her head.
Chen Xing didn't get any useful information out of her questions. Her gaze fell on the doll again. She stared at it for a while, and her consciousness tentacles pressed on the doll's arm.
