Chapter 58 The dust has settled and a new journey has begun
The night was deep, and the woods were pitch black and silent.
Cui Zhiyong and Qiu You walked on the path illuminated by the moonlight, and the soles of their shoes stepped on the grass and fallen leaves, making a slight rustling sound.
"Not going in person? Saying goodbye?"
Qiu You carried a knife on his back, staring straight ahead at the road, but his peripheral vision was quietly observing Cui Zhiyong, with a strange feeling deep in his heart.
Cui Zhiyong next to him was still the same? That cold look. After leaving the village, all his emotions seemed to be covered up, revealing a strange atmosphere.
"No need. It would be a waste of time to go and ask them one by one. Besides, you will get entangled."
Qiu You pondered for a while, understood, and said with a smile: "Are you on guard against me?"
Cui Zhiyong glanced at him and said sarcastically: "Oh, you are being sentimental."
Secretly? He was sweating like crazy.
Damn, did he act that way? Was it obvious?
But what I said just now? Not really? Not fake.
All the words I want to say are already written in the letter.
The beginning of everything, and the war that is coming.
Speaking of this, he actually felt as if he were in another world.
He had already gotten used to the life here, but the shadow of the past reappeared and pulled him back.
Cui Zhiyong sighed without a sound.
He is not a resident of the "Ruins City".
To put it simply.
Five or six years ago, the desert land sent a team to sneak into the territory of the ruined city to investigate the distribution of bases in each district and the garrisoned troops, and even important intelligence inside the ruined city, the number of superpower teams, military secrets, social conditions, etc.
And, the most important task is to destroy the order in the ruined city and lay the foundation for victory in the upcoming war.
The companions who set foot on this land together have already gone their separate ways with their missions, and they don't know where they are going.
Only Cui Zhiyong.
As soon as he stepped into this land, he ran into Zhang Chun, who had just recovered from the blood crystal pollution but had no intention of continuing to live, so he went straight to the eastern edge to find a cemetery for himself.
…It was obvious that he was recognized as an outsider at first sight.
Cui Zhiyong didn't want to recall what happened next.
In short!
He left a letter this time, so Zhang Chun would definitely be able to react in time.
The only question is, will some dark-haired brat get mad and tear up the letter after reading it?
That shouldn’t be the case… ?
After all, there are very important things written in it.
The more Cui Zhiyong thought about it, the more worried he became. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bushes behind him.
He turned his head sharply and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was just a rabbit that had emerged from the bushes.
For some reason, I felt like I was being stared at eerily by some black-haired kid.
Cui Zhiyong scratched his hair, turned around and continued walking forward.
But Qiu You, who was standing next to him, suddenly asked, "Do you have any gray rabbits?"
Cui Zhiyong: “Ah?”
"Gray rabbit."
Voices that did not belong to the Hate Tour echoed in the surrounding air.
Cui Zhiyong froze all over and turned his neck with difficulty towards the source of the sound.
But there was only one gray rabbit over there.
The dark bushes cast a shadow, and the gray rabbit crouched in the darkness, its scarlet eyes extremely empty, staring straight at them, weird and eerie.
Then, another familiar voice sounded.
"So you are? Looking for me??"
Cui Zhiyong looked up suddenly.
Behind the bushes where the gray rabbit was, a familiar black-haired boy suddenly stood on the tall tree.
The leaves rustled, and the moonlight fell softly, illuminating the figure of the boy. His dark eyes had turned scarlet, and he looked down at them condescendingly, his tone slightly cold.
"Hey, Brother Water Monster, and... Mr. Bastard."
Already quietly? Qiu You, who held the hilt of the knife: "..."
Cui Zhiyong was used to the fact that young men liked to give nicknames to others, so he simply ignored the words and spoke with a slightly helpless tone, trying to create an atmosphere of daily communication.
"Why are you here? Have you expanded your night activities to the three mountains? Let me remind you that you won't grow taller if you don't sleep at night - you're shorter than me anyway."
According to experience, Yunyan will quarrel with him about staying up late and height issues in the next second. Is it a very simple means to divert attention?
Cui Zhiyong looked at the black-haired boy on the tree with anticipation.
The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds. In the dim light, the scarlet eyes became more prominent, with an unfathomable chill. However, as Cui Zhiyong finished speaking, the chill gradually dissipated, replaced by an obvious smile.
The boy's eyebrows were curved, the corners of his lips were raised, his smile was bright, and the ending tone rose lightly.
"Does staying up late affect your height? It doesn't matter. If I cut off your legs, you will only be shorter than me~"
Cui Zhiyong: “?”
Great, a familiar anger was rising.
Because he was too familiar with the black-haired boy, at this moment, the unusually bright smile, cheerful voice, and surging murderous intent, in his eyes, were similar to the usual threats of fighting, showing off, deliberately scaring people, and using all means to get what they wanted, and then coming back triumphantly to show off.
However, the scene that was too familiar to Cui Zhiyong and did not even alert him, in Qiu You's perspective, was a surging sense of extreme danger, like a wave, almost suffocating.
He met the boy's eyes on the tree, and his muscles tensed up quickly. He quietly gripped the hilt of the knife, slowly pulled it out, and said in a deep voice, "It looks like he won't let you go. We don't have enough time. Just knock him out."
Cui Zhiyong frowned slightly, seemed a little hesitant, and walked towards Qiu You. "Wait a minute? Let me try to convince him..."
The young man standing on the tree looked back and forth between Qiu You and Cui Zhiyong, and said to Cui Zhiyong in a comforting tone:
"Brother Water Monster, don't worry, you are?free."
Cui Zhiyong was thinking about how to stop Qiu You from fighting, and said casually: "Thank you, but I feel that I have always been free..."
call out!
The cold red light disappeared in the darkness, and only the sharp whistling of the wind was still faintly echoing.
Cui Zhiyong froze, swallowed, and looked at the blood-red sword that had pierced deeply into the soil at his feet. The end of the sword was still trembling, making a buzzing sound.
The ground behind him was also deeply pierced by three blood swords, flashing an unusually cold luster.
"you--"
He just raised his head to look at the black-haired boy on the tree, but saw that the figure had disappeared. A flash of cold light flashed before his eyes in the next second, followed by the sound of blades colliding suddenly ringing in his ears.
The black-haired boy took the initiative to attack Qiu You.
Cui Zhiyong wanted to go over to mediate the fight, but he was attacked by two people at the same time and had to retreat to the side to pull out weeds frantically.
After being caught off guard at the beginning, Qiu You quickly adapted to the rhythm, swinging the long knife flexibly in the air like a swimming fish, and it was almost impossible to predict where the attack would come from in the next second.
Even if the naked eye can capture it, the body cannot react.
Puff...
Chu Xiuyan looked indifferently at the blade that pierced his left shoulder, blood flowing slowly, but he just glanced at it and looked away without any care. He looked at Qiu You who was tense all over, and asked curiously: "Why? So? Nervous? Isn't it? Me? Who fell into the trap?"
Qiu You's fingers trembled slightly, and then he gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, his eyes always on the young man, trying to find the source of his uneasiness.
But... no? No.
This time, his opponent's fighting style was similar to his. He was used to exchanging injuries for injuries and using terrifying murderous intent and momentum to force fear into the enemy. He was very skilled in this tactic and therefore was not affected by it.
So that sense of danger...
Qiu You carefully observed the boy's expression again and asked, "You said before that you were? Summoning...what??"
"Long-range summoner."
Chu Xiuyan raised the corner of his mouth, grabbed the long knife that was stabbed into his shoulder, and said slowly with suppressed joy in his tone: "You finally remembered, Mr. Bastard."
The appearance of this nickname made Qiu You's eyelids jump again.
A heavy kick came from the front of him in a second, but Qiu You reacted in time and blocked it.
Want to? Chu Xiuyan, who kicked him away but failed: "..."
He changed his approach and smiled brightly, "I suggest you hide quickly."
Qiu You didn't understand why.
In the next second, Cui Zhiyong, who was not far away, thought of something and reminded loudly: "Qiu You, don't worry about the knife, retreat quickly!"
Chu Xiuyan angrily threw the blood sword back at him? , causing Cui Zhiyong to dodge in a hurry.
Under the moonlight, a large patch of gray fog was spreading silently from the boy's heels, and in a blink of an eye it came behind Qiu You, and then rose higher and higher...
In the gray fog that almost rose to a height of more than three meters, two huge gray hands suddenly stretched out and attacked Qiu You's back of the head at a terrifying speed.
The piercing sound of wind came, Qiu You made a prompt decision, loosened the handle of the knife, avoided the giant hand that attacked the back of his head, clenched his fist, turned around to meet the attacking enemy, but when he saw the huge gray fog, he was stunned for a moment.
...What should I do? Fight? This thought came to Qiu You's mind.
While he was in a daze, the gray mist floating in the air quickly swallowed him up.
Chu Xiuyan slowly pulled his weapon from his shoulder and threw it heavily into the dark woods behind him. No one would be able to find it.
"Well, the weird uncle will die soon."
Chu Xiuyan walked towards Cui Zhiyong with brisk steps, "Let's go back to the village."
Cui Zhiyong was silent at first, and then handed over the grass in his hand: "Eat some grass to calm down first, I will explain to you why I have to leave."
Chu Xiuyan: "...? I? Want? To? Beat? You? It's? Not? My? Problem."
But he still? Squats down with Cui Zhiyong? Here he comes.
Cui Zhiyong realized that if he couldn't convince the boy, he would definitely be beaten, so he explained to him in a gentle tone.
"To put it simply, we come from a large base far away that is similar to a ruined city. The environment there is terrible. Because of the blood crystal pollution, the area of the normal area is shrinking year by year, so the rulers want to relocate the place of residence. However, there is only so much space on this land suitable for human survival. If they want to let their residents move in, they have to let the people in other bases move out...so, war will break out."
Chu Xiuyan chewed a piece of grass in his mouth. What was the background? A large area of surging gray fog. The fog beasts could be vaguely seen attacking something?
His IQ was struggling to get online, "Uncle knows? No?"
Cui Zhiyong said sadly: "I dare not say, but he definitely guessed most of it."
"Oh, then you're going back? What are you going to do?"
Chu Xiuyan drew his knife and placed it on Cui Zhiyong's neck, threatening him sinisterly: "If you dare to say that you want to help your mother's family do something bad, I will personally bury you in my garden."
Cui Zhiyong pushed the knife from his neck away and complained: "Your garden is almost stinking! And your mother's house is? What? Ghost, don't say such nonsense casually? Ah."
Chu Xiuyan curled his lips.
Cui Zhiyong rubbed his eyebrows and continued, "I? Want to go back? To stop this war. Blood crystal pollution is? A disaster faced by all mankind. If we don't go? To resist, but instead kill each other internally, it is very likely to evolve into an even more horrific disaster."
"Wow, the theme has suddenly been elevated. But, Brother Water Monster, don't think too highly of yourself. A pervert who only reads porn and does stalking shouldn't take on such troubles. The savior is me! "
Chu Xiuyan patted his chest and said proudly.
Cui Zhiyong: "... Sometimes? I? Want? To? Beat? You? It's definitely not? My? Problem."
"And don't interrupt! Me? The situation over there is really serious." He lowered his voice and said: "Have you heard? Have you heard of [God]?"
Chu Xiuyan pointed at himself: "Me? That's it? Ah."
"Me? No? I'm kidding! Over there in the desert—"
Cui Zhiyong's voice suddenly stopped.
The boy's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Desert!" Chu Xiuyan moved towards Cui Zhiyong and whispered: "I want to go to the desert too!"
"...I'll take you there next time." Cui Zhiyong felt very disappointed. As expected, this kid was very interested in the desert. That was why he didn't dare to mention the name of the place!
Chu Xiuyan hugged his knees and said obediently, "Then you should come back within three days. Go early? Come back early."
"I?/The journey will take five or six days!" Cui Zhiyong began to bargain, "Two months, minus all the trouble, it will take at least two months at the fastest."
Chu Xiuyan: "Two weeks. I only have two weeks of patience."
"Half a month? I just arrived in the desert!" Cui Zhiyong said sadly? .
Chu Xiuyan was more distressed than him, "But? If you're gone for two months, you'll be at the bottom of the vote this time! You can't even get No.5? No way!"
"Isn't that your fantasy? A behind-the-scenes manipulation? To make me come in second."
Cui Zhiyong thought it was a good idea, but he got hit hard in the face.
He covered his eyes and wailed.
Chu Xiuyan said viciously: "I am? An absolutely fair, just and open official."
Cui Zhiyong: "You are sick!"
Chu Xiuyan stood up and said, "Anyway, in two weeks, no matter if you come back or not, we will go to the desert."
He opened his hands, his face expectant: "Me? Want to go? See the magnificent and majestic desert scenery! And beat you up and drag you back."
"...Uh, Zhang Chun will never let you go? If so, why? Why do you want to beat me?"
"Because you took away my responsibility - I am the savior!"
"... Is it? Is it? A heroic savior." Cui Zhiyong got up from the ground, rubbed his blue eyes, and muttered: "Hiss, you really are? Merciless, my eyes hurt. By the way, quickly remove the gray fog, if? Qiu You dies, I? Can't go back?."
Chu Xiuyan sensed the situation over there in the gray fog and said, "Not bad, not bad. He's very good."
As he said that, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it to see if there were any blood crystals left. He had to find a chance to replenish some... or go to the uncle to get some money.
Just as he was about to reach into the bag to grab the blood crystal, a hand appeared in front of him, snatched the bag away at lightning speed, and then threw it heavily into the dark forest beside him!
Chu Xiuyan: "My? Power bank——"
Choi Ji-young was hit in the abdomen by a punch: “Puff, cough, cough, cough… I’m coughing up blood, you bastard!”
He wiped the blood from his mouth, grabbed the black-haired boy who wanted to run into the woods to find the blood crystal bag, and said, "I left a letter in the house. It's very important. Remember to read it and give it to Zhang Chun - don't tear it up."
"letter?"
Chu Xiuyan stopped struggling? , asked the system: [Is this true? ]
System: [Yes.]
Chu Xiuyan was silent for a moment, then awkwardly pulled out a pornographic book with a hot cover from his pocket, with a confused look on his face, as if he was wondering, "What are you talking about?" He hesitated and said, "The letter? Is it this? I only read this, and I can't understand what it means."
Cui Zhiyong was horrified: "Fuck! Isn't this my limited edition Youth O (beep) that suddenly disappeared mysteriously yesterday?! It turned out that you stole it! No, don't play dumb! You didn't even go to my house to check it out!"
Chu Xiuyan let Cui Zhiyong take the pornographic book away, and watched him wandering around, wondering where to hide the pornographic book.
He thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "Although the blackening reading was interrupted, but, Brother Water Monster, you know, the atmosphere has reached this point..."
Cui Zhiyong was trying to wrap up the little yellow book with leaves and then stuff it into the crack of the stone. Hearing this, he turned his head in surprise and saw the black-haired boy standing in the moonlight with a brilliant smile, as dazzling as the sun, and even vaguely showing a bit of holiness.
"I'm already here."
The ending of this sentence rose slightly in the air, and then suddenly pressed down.
"You have to let me have a good fight."
Cui Zhiyong: “…”
He turned stiffly and ran away.
“Help—”
So, when the gray fog cleared, Qiu You, covered in blood, lay on the ground gasping for breath, and saw Cui Zhiyong, who was also in a mess and covered in blood, limping over.
He almost gasped for air, "How are you injured so badly?"
Cui Zhiyong used a branch as a cane and said with a forced smile: "Indiscriminate attack, isn't that what children do when they have a tantrum?"
Qiu You thought hard: "He...child?"
As soon as they finished speaking, a stone was thrown from not far away, attracting the attention of the two.
"Me? I'm just over a month old, you stupid adults."
The same dusty, miserable-looking black-haired boy sat on a branch, holding a handful of pebbles in his hands, and was carelessly throwing them one by one at Cui Zhiyong and Qiu You.
When he saw him, Qiu You instantly became alert, his whole body tense, as if he still wanted to continue fighting.
Cui Zhiyong held him down, "That guy is temporarily out of power, let's go first."
"No? ...Electricity?"
Again? An incomprehensible sentence? .
Cui Zhiyong helped Qiu You up and walked towards the dark woods, waving goodbye to Chu Xiuyan without looking back.
"Let's go, don't think too much about me?"
Qiu You turned around and saw the black-haired boy still sitting on the tree branch, expressionless, throwing stones at him, but not stopping him.
So? He asked Cui Zhiyong, "How did you stop him?"
Cui Zhiyong said tiredly: "The battery is exhausted."
"..." Qiu You still didn't understand, but he wasn't curious, so he shifted his attention and said, "Wait a minute, where's my knife?"
Cui Zhiyong: "I was thrown into the woods by that kid. I remember it was in this direction..."
Afterwards, Chu Xiuyan also jumped down from the tree, looked in the direction where Cui Zhiyong and Qiu You left, and stretched lazily.
[Look, system. The theme of the shonen manga has come out. ]
He walked towards the woods in the opposite direction and began to look for his blood crystal bag.
【The war between man and God.】
Chu Xiuyan paused and said casually: [Whether it is Brother Water Monster or the uncle, they are all past the age of youth, so it turns out that I am the protagonist.]
…
Meanwhile? , on the other side.
In the woods approaching the Yellowstone settlement, countless dark figures were lurking in the shadows, silently observing the situation in the village.
It was late at night, and the village was silent except for the faint sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking.
One of the men in black seemed to confirm that there was no threat, raised his hand and waved, giving the order to attack.
Behind him, countless silent black shadows immediately rushed towards Huangshi Village.
The wind suddenly blew, the leaves rustled, and the bright moonlight was suddenly covered by a dark cloud.
The shadow fell, and the dozen or so men in black who were running in the front suddenly froze. Before they could react, thin bloodstains appeared on their bodies, and then blood splattered and they broke into pieces on the ground.
The men in black behind them all stopped when they saw this.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight fell gently again, dispelling the darkness in the woods.
I saw that in the woods ahead, dense and transparent silver threads appeared at some point, entwined between the trees, many of which were stained with drops of blood, which fell drop by drop and hit the soil and grass, without any sound.
Only the increasingly strong smell of blood spread far away with the wind, pushing the terrifying and strange atmosphere to its peak.
The bartender hiding behind the tree still had that cold and indifferent look, with his arms folded. The silver light wrapped around his fingertips flashed, and the silver threads between the trees moved with it, falling gently like spider silk, but when they touched flesh and blood, they suddenly tightened and took people's lives invisibly.
The socially anxious guy standing on a tree branch, wrapped up tightly, quietly observed every black-clad man within the attack range, determined the best position for a sneak attack, and then sneaked into the darkness. When he reappeared? There were corpses lying on the ground at his feet.
Just two people completely suppressed hundreds of people.
Hei Er, Hei San and others mixed in with the big guys, occasionally? From time to time? To finish off the enemy, and by the way, they secretly hid some black-clothed men who they liked to the back.
The bartender noticed but didn't say much.
He had only one idea in his mind.
There are only two main players. I am so tired. Where did the blond guy go?
besides……
The bartender frowned slightly.
In his perception, the black-haired boy who was originally on the path between the back mountain and the south mountain, suddenly ran eastward at an extremely fast speed.
Seems to be chasing? What? Someone.
…
It was a dark night and the strong smell of blood was blown into Huangshi Village by the wind.
The sleeping villager turned over, and frowned slightly, as if he sensed uneasiness in his dream.
At the end of the village, there were two figures, one tall and one short.
The moonlight stretched their shadows very long, as if protecting the tranquility of the village behind them.
The slightly taller figure belongs to a woman with wavy hair. She is the leader of the Graystone Settlement. At this moment, she is facing the direction where the smell of blood is coming from, with a serious expression, and says:
"This smell? I'm afraid it's in the three digits. Old man, I'm telling you that this small Huangshan Village is home to many hidden talents. It's probably considered a territory by some powerful people. We shouldn't stay here for long."
The short old man from Heishi Village leaned on a warning sign he got from somewhere, his eyelids drooping as he spoke slowly? "Zhang kid isn't here yet? What are you talking about? Why are you, an outsider, worried about this?"
He pulled out a Huangshi Village permanent population registration form from somewhere, turned to the last page, pointed to his name on it with some pride, and said, "I, an old man?, am now a legal resident? here!"
The woman glanced at him and said, "You made the registration form yourself. See if Zhang Chun agrees with it."
The old man grinned, revealing a smile with no teeth, and pointed at the author on the cover - [Yun Yan].
"This kid seems to be? Huangshi Village? The former village chief, or? Zhang Chun's son. There's absolutely no? problem with him."
He said confidently.
The woman was silent for a while, then asked, "Who told you that he is? Zhang Chun's son?"
Old man: "...Isn't it? In the village? Everyone says so."
"They are obviously? Just kidding! You damn old man!"
The woman cursed and dragged the old man, who was struggling madly while holding the warning sign, towards the village?
The danger in the woods has disappeared.
…
When dawn arrived and the first rays of light appeared in the sky, Cui Zhiyong and Qiu You, who had been walking eastward all night, finally passed through the forest and arrived at the final destination.
What is that? A vast ocean.
The sun rises, and its golden light shines on the sea, reflecting tiny light spots like fish scales.
The beach is vast, and the humid water vapor mixed with the smell of the sea hits you in the face, but it is not pungent, but rather makes people feel relaxed and happy.
What was docked at the shore? A huge ship, with mysterious dark red lines engraved on its silver-white hull and a red flying bird on the left side, representing the ship's location - Northwest.
"What the hell..."
Cui Zhiyong stared blankly for a long time before asking Qiu You: "The desert and the northwest are linked together?"
"You are? What? Describing?"
Qiu You coughed a few times, coughing up blood, which he wiped away carelessly, and then said: "This is a merchant ship, one of the retreat routes planned with others before... Oh, I forgot, you were not there at the time."
Cui Zhiyong smiled awkwardly.
The ship was large, and looked like a cargo ship. The crew members coming and going were checking the condition of the ship. They were about to set sail.
After getting on board, Cui Zhiyong discovered that there seemed to be an acquaintance on board.
In a corner of the deck, there are three chairs with a small round table in the middle. It looks like a vacation.
Among them, a young man in white was sitting on a chair, drinking tea leisurely. Although he had a white cloth wrapped around his eyes, he still pretended to wear a pair of sunglasses.
As if he noticed the gazes of others, he raised his head and raised his lips silently in the direction of Cui Zhiyong.
Cui Zhiyong's scalp was tingling.
This young man is Bai Yan, who came with the team of survivors on the day when the beast tide attacked Huangshi Village!
Isn't this guy the deputy captain of the survivor team? He seemed to have a good relationship with Zhang Chun before... Why? Why did he suddenly board the alien's ship?!
Wait a minute, Cui Zhiyong thought about himself and fell into a long contemplation.
This ship belonged to a group of merchants from the northwest. The leader was a fat man with a kind and smiling face. When he saw the last two guests boarding, he greeted them, "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for anyone? Our ship should be able to stay for a while longer."
Qiu You just sat cross-legged on the deck and said casually: "No need, just go."
The leader of the caravan smiled and said, "Is that so? That's unfortunate. The person we are waiting for hasn't arrived yet, so we have to trouble you to wait a little longer."
Qiu You raised his eyes: "Your people?"
He pointed at the three people sitting at the table leisurely, "Aren't those the ones?"
Sitting next to Bai Yan was a gray-haired alien with scarlet eyes who observed the last two people who came up without hesitation. He said thoughtfully, "The wound on the man with the knife is not simple. It seems that he was bitten by many alien beasts. But in the ruined city, most of the alien beasts now hide in the dark and will not rashly attack humans - especially those who are mixed-blood. In addition, the one next to him..."
He looked at the somewhat nervous Cui Zhiyong with a happy expression, and said nothing more.
"It's such a small world." Bai Yan sighed and continued to drink his tea, pretending not to see Cui Zhiyong's eyes that occasionally glanced at him secretly - he was originally a blind man, so it was normal that he couldn't see.
The caravan leader continued to talk to Qiu You: "Yes, it is like this. Among these three, only this young man is our companion. The other two are guests who joined later."
The young man sitting on the other side of Bai Yan heard the merchant leader mention him, so he raised his hand and said, "It's me. What I said is so strange. The mission clearly said that we should meet up at the A3 base, but I didn't even see the shadows of the other companions. I was kidnapped, ahem... I heard that the person in charge of that mission was a bartender."
The leader of the caravan smiled bitterly: "So this is where the problem comes from. Now, apart from the bartender, there is no news about the pianist who sneaked into the inner area of the ruined city. Only Ms. Rose returned to the ship, but she has been unconscious until now. We still don't know what happened."
The young man asked curiously as if he was gossiping, "I heard that the High Priest also came to this land some time ago, and he seemed to be very close to the A3 base! It's a pity that I haven't seen him... Oh, I haven't even seen his companions."
He looked at Bai Yan and the gray-haired stranger with resentment, but neither of them paid any attention to him.
Next? A second later, the young man became cheerful again and said? "But I?ve seen a miracle! In this land of the ruined city, besides the [Forest God], there is most likely another one..."
His voice faded away, because Bai Yan and the gray-haired alien beside him stared at him expressionlessly.
"Uh, did I say something wrong?"
The young stranger asked nervously.
Cui Zhiyong leaned against the railing of the ship, looking at the endless blue sky. The salty and humid sea breeze blew towards him, as if bringing a familiar yet strange breath.
I used to think day and night about whether this action was right or not, and was tortured by guilt and anxiety. I thought about the consequences of countless identity exposures, and planned what I would do if I returned to the original place one day.
...but I didn't think about bringing disaster to this land.
Too many complicated thoughts filled my brain in an instant.
The moment the sea breeze blew, he finally felt the reality that he had to leave.
An hour later, it was already daybreak.
The leader of the caravan was late. He had to prepare to sail away before the two big men arrived.
With a slight shake, the waves hit the side of the ship and swept it into the ocean.
Like? About to? Start an unknown journey.
At this moment, a cheer of great joy came from the land behind.
"So beautiful! Really? The sea—"
At that moment, the few people sitting separately on the deck turned their heads to look towards the land.
The smile on the gray-haired stranger's face suddenly widened, and his mood visibly improved.
Bai Yan, who was drinking tea, almost choked on the water and started coughing continuously.
Qiu Youxia? Consciously, he held the long sword tightly, leaned against the board, and took a deep breath.
The black-haired young man looked left and right, thought for a moment, and decided to follow the crowd and also leaned his head to look at the beach.
Cui Zhiyong's worries turned into countless exclamation marks. He turned around quickly, put his hands on the railing, and looked at the beach that was getting farther and farther away.
I saw a black-haired boy running back and forth over there. He took off his shoes and chased the waves on the shore. He seemed to be having a lot of fun.
"Me? Also want to? Take a boat——"
Chu Xiuyan stepped into the seawater and waved his arms in the direction of the ship, shouting: "Too much! There is a boat to take? And you didn't call me?!"
The leader of the caravan squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then said, "It seems so. Yiren, how about we go back and pick him up?"
Cui Zhiyong shook his head frantically, countless terrifying images flashed through his mind, and then the next sentence made him slightly stunned.
"Brother Water Monster, have a safe trip! Remember to send us a message when you arrive! No matter what means you use, remember to send us a message!"
Cui Zhiyong's throat was a little dry, and he said uncomfortably, "Fuck, what? Suddenly? Saying such things?..."
Before he was completely moved, the next second, the exclamations from the surroundings made his emotions fluctuate, like a roller coaster.
On the shore, behind the black-haired boy stood a three-meter-tall leader of the gray mist aliens, holding a huge rock high in his hands and throwing it heavily in the direction of the big ship?
boom!
The sea water splashed violently.
Cui Zhiyong, who was struggling to stand on the violently shaking deck, raised his middle finger towards the shore and shouted angrily: "If you fool me again next time, I will be a dog!"
…
Chu Xiuyan felt as if there was some sound floating over, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he ignored it without paying any attention, put his hand in front of his eyes like an umbrella, looked at the sparkling sea, and said casually:
"I'm a little tired of the forest. The sea is really beautiful, and the sand here is so comfortable. I'll bring everyone here to bask in the sun when the time comes. Well, bring everyone from the village on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and bring the family from Nanshan on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I'll have a day off on Sunday and have free time to play. Perfect!"
As he was mumbling, the system suddenly spoke, its voice trembling.
[Um, host... you seem to have really hit them? ]
Chu Xiuyan: [What?]
[That cannonball-like rock hit that ship! ! ]
The system panicked.
Chu Xiuyan was also horrified.
