Little Cold Star (4)

The spinning cross sword cut the parasite's throat, and black blood gushed out, dripping onto the white ice and snow, like pure white being stained with filth.

Gongye Jiwang caught the flying cross sword and stood lightly on a branch covered with a thin layer of snow. He was still wearing a thin shirt, as if he could not feel the cold.

There was a deep muffled sound from behind, and he turned around to look.

The young girl was covered in the silver glow of the moon, and the long sword in her hand was as sharp as a blade. She easily chopped away the huge monster that attacked her.

The flames flowing on the sword blade reflected her resolute and stoic face. She jumped up amidst the flying snow, like a snow elf that had fallen into the mortal world. She cast aside her lightness and, with the most murderous and decisive momentum, pierced through the ugly head of the parasite with one sword.

Dark red blood spurted out, and the Nirvana Fire suddenly expanded, shielding her from the filth.

The dirty blood burned with a crackling sound, and the cold wind blew on his face, and it turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated in the snow.

Gongye Jiwang lowered his eyes, and the pale flame in his hand suddenly shot up, turning into a ferocious and arrogant giant snake, biting fiercely at the several parasites that tried to besiege him.

When Shi Jianxia turned his head to look, he saw the huge level seven parasite having its neck chopped by the flying cross sword, and his eyebrows jumped.

The higher the level of the parasite, the stronger its combat power and defense. The gap between different levels is also greater, and fighting against enemies of higher levels becomes quite difficult.

The seventh-level parasite was easily strangled by Gongye Jiwang, which shows how terrifyingly his strength has improved after the anonymous trade fair.

-

More than an hour later.

The east was already bright, and the light of the stars quietly spread to the earth. Shi Jianxia was standing outside a weed-covered square, holding a little girl in his arms and rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Gongye Jiwang opened a small path.

Behind the square is a pair of twin buildings covered with grass and dead vines, with the logo of the Zerg Investigation Bureau standing on the roof.

Perhaps it is because of the high-quality building materials, the solid foundation and the overall structure of the building that the twin towers, which have not received maintenance for many years, are still standing.

This place was found by Meng Ji. The building was empty inside and out, with no parasites or insect vortexes. It was a relatively suitable place to stay.

"Judging from the growth of vegetation, this place has been abandoned for at least ten years." Gongye Jiwang made his judgment.

The little girl who had just woken up didn't understand what he said. She turned her head away blankly, then seemed to remember something and quickly turned to look at Shi Jianxia.

She is very beautiful, with fair and delicate cheeks, round like a little bun. Because she cried a lot yesterday, her eye sockets are a little swollen, but her eyes are big and round, watery and very cute.

"Sister...Mom...Where is Mom?" Her voice was thin and small, with a hint of crying in it.

Shi Jianxia thought of the scene of the interstellar spaceship explosion, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

She whispered, "We've run into a little trouble and have lost your mother. Be a good girl and let's go find her together, okay?"

There were tears in the little girl's eyes. Hearing her say that, she let out a low "oh" and lowered her long and curled eyelashes.

At this time, a furry little white ball was brought to her. The little white fox squatted in Gongye Jiwang's hand, wagging its nine little tails. It tilted its little head and looked at her with its glass-colored pupils. It was so cute that it was unfair.

The little girl cried out and subconsciously looked towards Gongye Jiwang. On his shoulder was lying Xixi, looking relaxed and comfortable.

The little fellow grabbed two insect crystals, one on the left and one on the right, and ate them with a crunch. After he was done, he took out some food from the small bag hanging around his neck.

If the food was all eaten, Gongye Jiwang would add more, he was really spoiling her to no end.

The little girl looked at Xixi, then at the nine-tailed fox, and for a moment she was completely unable to take her eyes off them.

Gongye Jiwang pushed the nine-tailed fox towards her. The little fox was very understanding and took the initiative to stretch out its front legs with its claws folded towards the little girl, and even touched the back of her hand with the pads of its furry front legs.

The little girl withdrew her hand with some curiosity and trepidation.

Shi Jianxia smiled and said, "Do you want to hug it?"

The little girl immediately glanced at her, then tentatively stretched out her two little hands and gently hugged the nine-tailed fox that jumped over.

The little white fox rubbed her cheek, then snuggled into her neck, wagging its little tail, making her giggle.

Shi Jianxia and Gongye Jiwang both breathed a sigh of relief.

Neither of them had any experience in taking care of human cubs. If the little girl wanted to be mothered and cried loudly, they would not know what to do.

With the nine-tailed fox distracting her attention, the little girl's depressed mood recovered a lot.

Shi Jianxia wanted to ask her name, but was afraid that she would think of her parents, so she had to put the question aside and discuss business with Gongye Jiwang.

"Meng Ji has surveyed the area and found no parasites or insect vortexes. We can use this place as a base for the time being and see if there are any useful supplies."

Unsure of rescue or whether they can leave, they must be prepared to survive here for a while.

Gongye Jiwang nodded and walked forward first.

When the sky was getting light, the snow stopped and the world was covered in silver, so white that it was a bit dazzling. However, with the fire of Nirvana protecting us all the way, it was not too cold.

Gongye Jiwang changed into a new shirt and removed the bandage on his arm. Perhaps because he was in good health, the wound had healed.

While the physical fitness of those with advanced abilities is greatly improved, their self-repair ability will also be enhanced. As long as they are not injured to the point of being fatal, they can basically survive, not to mention some minor injuries that cut the skin.

The two walked in quickly. The little girl was holding the nine-tailed fox and playing hide-and-seek in Shi Jianxia's arms, mumbling some childish words.

Shi Jianxia overheard and happened to hear the little girl introducing herself to the nine-tailed fox as Chao Chao, the Chao of Chaoyang.

She silently memorized the nickname.

When I walked downstairs to the Twin Towers, I found that the gate on the first floor was completely closed. There were scratches on the surface, but it was not damaged. I thought that a parasite had wandered here and left after finding that it could not enter.

Gongye Jiwang walked back and forth in front of the gate and finally stopped in the middle.

He raised his hand and fiddled with the gate for a while, and a virtual screen popped up.

Shi Jianxia was surprised and asked, "There is energy here?"

Gongye Jiwang explained, "The Twin Towers' construction materials are doped with a large amount of energy-gathering materials that can absorb light energy and store it. When external energy is cut off, the stored energy is activated to maintain the basic operation of the internal systems."

"The twin towers were well-preserved, and I thought the energy conversion system was intact, so I tried it. We were very lucky."

The Twin Towers serve as the base of the Zerg Investigation Office in this area. They are equipped with a very strong security system and have a large amount of backup energy and supplies to provide timely support to the Zerg outbreak area.

Gongye Jiwang deployed his intelligent brain to retrieve the senior investigator's authority identification code and allowed the Twin Towers' security system to scan it.

A light blue light swept across the permission identification code, and a puffing sound was heard as the gas was pushed open. The ice chips and moss and dead grass on the gate fell off automatically, and the tightly closed door opened to both sides, and a dusty smell hit the face.

After the smell had completely spread, Gongye Jiwang took the lead and walked forward.

The furnishings inside were basically the same as those of the several Zerg investigation offices that Shi Jianxia had visited. There was a check-in point not far from the entrance, and there were self-service stores on both sides, but they were all closed.

The auxiliary robots all had their heads down, probably because they had run out of energy and entered a dormant state. There was no dust on the ground and the walls were very clean.

Gongye Jiwang took a general look at the situation, confirmed that the indoor ventilation system had started working, and closed the gate behind him.

"There are staff dormitories inside the Twin Towers. Let's find a place to settle down first. After that, I'm going to go to the central control room to transfer the authority here to my intelligent computer so that I can allocate energy and supplies here."

Shi Jianxia nodded.

Gongye Jiwang was clearly familiar with the various areas of the Zerg Investigation Office. He led her forward and said, "Once we've gotten a feel for the situation nearby, we'll look for any remaining military bases. If we're lucky, we might be able to find a space shuttle and leave here and venture into space."

As for the interstellar port, Gongye Jiwang will not consider it.

The interstellar port is open to the outside world. Over the years, even if there are interstellar spaceships, they are probably destroyed by the natural environment and Zerg parasites. It is more reliable to find a space shuttle at the military base.

Shi Jianxia had no objection to his plan, "I'll let the mimics find it faster."

The sacred mountains can fly and can give her timely feedback when encountering special situations. They are more like reconnaissance planes than reconnaissance planes and can also have a full meal when encountering insect vortexes.

Gongye Jiwang laughed and said, "It's a good thing I fell into this damn place with you."

This is to praise the convenience and versatility of "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

When Shi Jianxia heard him joking, he said, "If you hadn't accepted the mission to send me back to Nan Teng Star, you wouldn't have ended up in this damn place."

To be honest, Gongye Jiwang was indeed implicated by her this time.

"So, this is fate." Gongye Jiwang blinked mischievously.

Without waiting for Shi Xia's reaction, he bowed and gestured for invitation to the inside, his manners elegant and calm, like a nobleman walking out of an ancient painting.

The elevator has arrived.

The little girl and the nine-tailed fox turned their heads together, looked at Gongye Jiwang and then at her. The former hugged Shi Jianxia's neck and giggled, while the latter flattened his ears and then quickly stood up, and also buried his head in her arms and nudged her.

Shi Jianxia staggered when the two little things pushed him. He cleared his cough uncomfortably and quickly walked into the elevator.

In the past, I only heard people say that Gongye Jiwang was like a bright moon in the sky that was out of reach and could only be admired from afar and not played with. But now, it seems that he is quite approachable and can even make jokes.

Two people stood side by side in the elevator.

Meng Ji appeared from nowhere and slipped in before the elevator closed. Xixi peeked over Gongye Jiwang's shoulder and wagged his tail to look at Meng Ji who was squatting down obediently.

Meng Ji noticed its gaze and looked up. Xixi mercifully loosened its fleshy forelimbs, and the insect crystal it was holding fell down and landed accurately at Meng Ji's mouth.

The little guy opened his mouth and bit it, making a crisp sound.

Gongye Jiwang heard it, half-knelt down, grabbed a handful of insect crystals from the space bracelet and stuffed them into the small pocket hanging under Meng Ji's neck.

This bag is often seen in the hands of the Xia family's cubs. Initially, it was used to collect insect crystals when hunting insects at the Linhai Isolation Station. Later, it was simply used to hold snacks for them. Now it is really convenient for Gongye Jiwang to feed them.

朏朏 watched helplessly as Meng Ji's pocket was also filled with insect crystals. Her face immediately fell and she pushed her half-empty pocket in front of Gongye Jiwang.

Gongye Jiwang is willing to follow good advice and fill his pockets.

Shi Jianxia: "..."

If he gets used to this, he will definitely become lawless in the future.
