◎It's too late to escape◎
Rong Xiao's face turned cold, he raised his hand and grabbed the chair beside him, his eyes were fierce like a little wild cat showing its claws.
After leaning over the window to watch for a while, Ling Xi smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don't be nervous, we are one family."
"One of our own?" Rong Xiao followed to the window curiously.
There were two men standing on the street. One of them had a pair of metal wings spread out on his back. The wingspan was about three meters wide, and the moonlight cast beautiful silver spots in the dark place.
The man was very tall, over 1.85 meters, and his metal wings looked particularly cool, which made Rong Xiao's eyes shine.
"Oh my God, this must be the birdman that Teacher Mosaic mentioned." Rong Xiao pointed downstairs in surprise and exclaimed to himself.
Ling Xi burst out laughing without caring about her image, hooked her shoulder, and reminded her mysteriously: "Don't call him Birdman later, that guy is very troublesome, don't mess with him."
The metal wings that were spread out in the air folded up, shook a few times, and then folded and shrank like a machine, and finally all retracted into his back.
The man untied the coat tied around his waist and put it on. He looked up at the window calmly and accurately. After seeing Ling Xi, he raised his hand meaningfully to greet her.
The cool metal wings are in stark contrast to the person himself. He has a baby face that looks childish, but his eyes are cold, as if he has experienced countless vicissitudes of life.
Although he is tall, he is thin. The white T-shirt he is wearing is supported by his broad shoulders, and the hem is a little empty.
The man next to him was a completely different type, wearing a T-shirt and an army green jacket. He was not as tall as the man with metal wings, but he was very strong. He had a flat head and his eyes were slanted, making him look fierce. When he smiled, he didn't look friendly at all, but instead looked like he was going to stab someone.
A large movement descended, and a few scattered zombies on the street followed the sound and ran over. Before they got close, they were suddenly enveloped in fire and began to burn inexplicably, like moving torches in the dark night.
The man with the flat head had a serious expression on his face. He stroked his chin and muttered, "Barbecue zombies."
Metal Wing glanced at him with disdain in his eyes: "..."
"Hey, what's with that look in your eyes, kid? Do you want to get beaten up?" The man with the flat head waved his fist fiercely, and a flash of fire appeared on his fist.
"You randomly guess what bad things others are thinking just by looking at them...Brother Chuan, it's too tiring to live with such a sensitive heart." Metal Wing laughed sarcastically and strode towards the stairs next to him.
The fierce-looking crew cut chased after him, shaking his flaming fists. "You stinky boy, are you sick enough to die if you don't speak venomously for even a day?"
"I'm in good health, with no illness or pain. I can live to be 200 years old. Thank you for your concern." Metal Wing smiled and waved his hand, but the corners of his eyes curved to show a dark and irritable look.
"You..." Pingtou's face turned red. He wanted to say a few words to save his face, but the two of them had already walked to the corridor on the second floor. Lingxi opened the door and was waiting to greet them.
"Stop making noise, be quiet. Do you want to call the zombies over to play mahjong?" Ling Xi raised her index finger and reminded them in a whisper. Flathead and Metal Wings fell silent.
The two of them entered the room one after the other. As soon as they greeted Long Qingyu, they saw Rong Xiao appearing in the corner.
"Why is there one more person?" Metal Wing glanced at Rong Xiao, and his eyes began to scan carefully like rays in an instant. The hostile and defensive gaze covered Rong Xiao without any hesitation.
Long Qingyu's eyes met his at the same time: "This is..."
"Bird..." Rong Xiao's eyes shone in the darkness.
She had seen many birds, but this was the first time she had seen a birdman!
She just raised a finger to point at Shangguan when Lingxi walked over expressionlessly and held her finger in her palm: "The birds are singing and the mountains are more secluded. This is Rong Xiao, the friend we met tonight. It's okay, don't worry."
"Rong Xiao, this tall guy is Shangguan Yu, and the one next to him is Tian Yichuan, you can call him Brother Chuan."
Shangguan Yu looks young, at most seventeen or eighteen years old. He has a delicate appearance, which is the opposite of his flat-top style. His skin is fair and smooth, which shows the good looks of a person who is naturally spoiled.
His body was spotless, not like someone who had been through the apocalypse. There was not a speck of dust on his white T-shirt, let alone blood.
Although he looks like a student, his eyes and the aura he exudes are completely different.
"What's the situation? Do you know where the people are being held?" Ling Xi asked impatiently.
Shangguan Yu's eyes silently swept over Rong Xiao, and he lowered his voice and said quickly, "We'll talk about it later."
Ling Xi knew Shangguan Yu was a cautious person, so she didn't rush him. Instead, she sighed and patted his back, causing him to stumble forward a few steps and almost lose his balance. "Hey, it's all because of me that your brother was captured. Don't worry, I'll save Da Huai even if it costs my life!"
Shangguan Yu rubbed his back where he was beaten, coughed a few times, and managed to catch his breath: "He was the one who decided to impersonate you and get captured. Everything was his own decision. Even if he died like this, it was his own choice that he was willing to make."
"Wow, Shangguan, that's your brother." Tian Yichuang listened to his calm and indifferent words in disbelief.
"I know, so I understand him." There was no worry in his eyes. The depths of Shangguan Yu's eyes were like a frozen lake, so cold and hard that even a chisel could not penetrate it.
Although he is young, he has incredible calmness and emotional management skills.
After briefly explaining the situation, Tian Yichuang began to look for something. When he saw the landline phone placed in the corner, joy suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He picked up the receiver and put it to his ear for a few seconds. There was no sound, so he put it back in disappointment.
"Are you guys...going to do something?" Rong Xiao, who had been keeping quiet in the corner, couldn't help but interrupt. "I can take you there. I'm very familiar with this area. Just give me something to eat."
Rong Xiao was still not satisfied with the cookies he had eaten tonight. He pursed his lips, and the remaining sweet taste still lingered between his lips and teeth.
That unopened can of food looks good too, and it’s definitely better than the flowers, plants and leaves outside.
Ling Xi smiled and sighed, smoothing Rong Xiao's messy hair: "No, we are going to do something very dangerous."
"Danger..." Rong Xiao muttered to himself, and his silly look made Ling Xi unsure whether she understood him or not.
However, this is not important. As soon as the sun rises, they will go their separate ways, and it is unknown whether they will have the chance to see each other again alive in the future.
What Ling Xi was worried about was not whether Rong Xiao would die, but whether they could survive tomorrow's rescue operation.
Rong Xiao, who looked silly and dazed, suddenly thought of what Teacher Mosaic had said before.
If you can't find food in the end times, you can look for it on the dead or steal it from the living.
Robbery is dangerous and more cruel.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Rong Xiao raised his head and looked at Ling Xi who was smiling and looking at him gently.
Ever since crawling out of the pile of dead bodies, Rong Xiao has been looking for a deserted place to stay and has not had any direct contact with any living person.
Lingxi's eyes looked very beautiful when she smiled, and they felt like sunshine. Apart from Teacher Mosaic, this was the first time Rong Xiao felt happy getting along with someone.
But...what if they really die? Will the things on their bodies be taken away by others?
Rather than having it snatched away by someone else, it would be better for her to pick it up.
If she wanted to rob, Rong Xiao thought she had a chance of winning against these people, but... when she met Ling Xi's eyes, she felt like something was blocking her heart, and she silently gave up this plan.
They are not bad people, so I won’t rob them. At most, I can quietly follow them tomorrow... and see if I can pick up some supplies.
Rong Xiao, immersed in the little world in her own mind, seemed to be just daydreaming in their eyes. Others had no idea that she had gone through a complicated psychological process.
The complex psychological changes from snatching to picking up avoided an unnecessary fight.
Shangguan Yu spoke to them about some serious matters for a few words, then his nonchalant gaze returned to Rong Xiao. This time, he only looked at her for three seconds, then asked Ling Xi without lowering his voice, "Is there something wrong with her brain?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so venomous!" Ling Xi warned with a frown, raising her hand to hook Shangguan's neck and pull him aside. "She's all alone now, with no family or friends. She's so pitiful. Her brain seems... a little different from normal people's, but she doesn't have any bad intentions and is actually quite cute."
"What's the use of being cute? Can it save you from death by the mouth of a zombie?" Shangguan Yutong said confidently.
Ling Xi was speechless and was about to hit him with a palm again, but Shangguan successfully dodged it.
"Can't you say something nice? You won't die if you say nice things."
"Oh, I've been saying bad things for so many years, but I'm still living well."
"I know you'll be beaten to death one day because of your sharp tongue. Don't be too happy."
Tian Yichuan, who was drinking water next door, quickly raised his hand and said, "If that day comes, I will definitely rush over and give it a few kicks."
Shangguan Yu: “…”
"Yeah, Shangguan has nothing to say, we won!" Ling Xi and Pingtou clapped their hands happily.
Shangguan Yu: "Such a small advantage is worthy of your high fives. How pitiful."
Ling Xi and Tian Yichuang, who had been celebrating for less than a second, had their faces darkened. Just as they were about to fight back, Shangguan walked around them, approached Rong Xiao, and looked into her eyes somewhat rudely.
His eyes were as clear as a lustrous black glass ball. Even though there was no light in the room, there was a faint glow swirling inside.
It was as if those eyes had a magical power that made people let down their guard, which reminded Shangguan of the abandoned kitten on the street, staring at passers-by with that innocent and pitiful look.
"What's your name?" Shangguan Yu's voice was pleasant, but there was no ups and downs in the tone, which gave off a sense of alienation.
Rong Xiao was somewhat interested in Shangguan Yu's wings, and kept glancing behind him: "Rong Xiao."
Shangguan Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the box she was holding. It was just an ordinary metal box with a biscuit pattern on the outside. There was nothing special about it, but every time Rong Xiao moved it, there would be a sound inside, so there must be something in the box.
Noticing he was looking, Rong Xiao hugged the box tightly, his eyes suddenly becoming more defensive: "I won't let you see it."
"Tsk, who cares," Shangguan Yu said, choking back his words. He then realized he had another question to ask, and continued as if nothing had happened, "You've been alone since the end of the world?"
"Yeah."
"How did you survive?"
"That's how I survived." Rong Xiao answered every question obediently, but the way she answered made Shangguan a little angry.
Looking closer, Shangguan realized that she was very thin. She was wearing a white shirt with a black turtleneck sweater underneath, and gray striped trousers and black Martin boots.
It's like a piece of clothing put together.
Her hair was short like a mushroom, with a straight-cut bang and neatly cut ends. The hair on the top of her head was a little messy, with a tuft of mischievous hair sticking up. Her eyes were black and without any cunning or trickery. She was as clean as an angel that had fallen from the sky, leaving Shangguan's venomous tongue stuck in his throat for a long time.
"Then I wish you a few more days." In the end, Shangguan Yu gave up on the flattery as if he had lost.
"I think this little girl has a good face. She might live a very long time." Tian Yichuang leaned one hand on the cabinet, with flames coming out of his fingers. "Some people speak so harshly. Who knows if they will be beaten to death one day? Tsk tsk."
"Wow, this fire listens to you!" Rong Xiao stared at the flame in Tian Yichuang's hand and boldly reached out to pinch it.
Tian Yichuan was afraid that she would get burned, so he quickly put out the fire: "Haha, that's right, this is real fire."
"Can I use it to make fried eggs?" Rong Xiao asked in a hissing voice.
"Of course, we can also barbecue." Tian Yichuang looked proud, although Shangguan Yu had no idea what he was so proud of.
"It can even grill meat!! Awesome!" This magical operation was extremely interesting in Rong Xiao's eyes. Her eyes were always shining as she stared at the flames very carefully.
She had picked up a dead sparrow on the street before and wanted to cook it, but she found that she had no fire to cook it.
Remembering that Teacher Mosaic said that meat should not be eaten raw, she had no choice but to bury the bird.
This flat-headed guy is a super awesome portable stove!
Tian Yichuang was very proud of Rong Xiao's supportive attitude.
Since his special ability awakened, Ling Xi only praised him a few times at the beginning, and after that, no one had ever taken the trouble to match expression and tone to praise him.
"Hahaha, huh?" Tian Yichuan laughed even louder. He dialed Rong Xiao and said to Ling Xi, "Where did you pick up this little cutie? She speaks so sweetly, much better than some people."
"We originally met at the convenience store up ahead, but then zombies suddenly attacked in the middle of the night, so we moved here to hide," Ling Xi said, raising her head. "She was the one who brought us here."
"I'm very familiar with this place." Rong Xiao raised his hand and emphasized proudly.
Shangguan Yu knew very well that Tian Yichuang was making a sarcastic remark about him. He did not retort because he saw the bracelet on Long Qingyu's hand.
"Brother Long, did you pick this up too?"
Long Qingyu paused as he lifted his sleeve: "You guys too...?"
"Oh, this bracelet," Tian Yichuan also rolled up his sleeves, revealing a matte black bracelet, "When Shangguan and I came back, we saw these flying in the sky, so we picked up two and couldn't take them off."
Although he is young, he is the most reliable. Long Qingyu values Shangguan's opinion very much and wants him to express his views.
Without rushing to answer, Shangguan carefully examined the bracelet with his fingers and said, "This is a bit strange. It seems incredible, but there is no reasonable and common explanation."
"Hahaha, there are things that you can't explain." Tian Yichuang smiled and patted Shangguan's shoulder, making him daze.
Shangguan Yu, who always hated this kind of excessive physical contact, frowned and dodged, his tone still calm: "It's not like I have a hundred thousand whys. Even if I had a million whys, there would be things I'd miss and don't know."
"Shangguan, what do you mean..."
"Let's try it according to the rules it says. If it's true, we won't lose anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flashing green dot lit up on everyone's bracelet, and a light screen popped up at the same time.
[The game is being prepared, and the bubbles are descending. Players who do not want to participate in the game should leave the bubble range as soon as possible.]
Everyone rushed to the window like the wind, and after seeing the situation outside, they were all stunned.
"What's this?"
There was a huge bubble in the sky that was slowly descending. The diameter was impossible to estimate, but it was at least several kilometers long. They were right in the center of the bubble, and even if they wanted to escape, it was too late.
The author has something to say:
Recommended by my friend: "After the Resurrection of Spiritual Energy, I Became Long Aotian" by Juan Eryu
After the revival of spiritual energy, Cheng Mianmian awakened her character consciousness and realized that she was the tool-man heroine in the book, who lived her whole life for the hero and eventually died for him.
Cheng Mianmian: Why?
In a rage, she intercepted the hero's cheat code, thinking that she could bind it to the protagonist's system, but she didn't expect that it was bound to Long Aotian's system.
The system said: [As a qualified Long Aotian, you are born to be the protagonist, the most beautiful one in the crowd, and everyone else's edge is suppressed by you.]
[Your daily task is to act cool and get slapped in the face.]
[The main task is to follow the protagonist's path and leave him with no other options.]
Cheng Mianmian: I understand.
Later, the system almost crashed: [No, I don’t think you seem to understand what it means to pretend to be slapped in the face.]
It had only been less than a year since the spiritual energy was revived, and everyone had reached a consensus: whenever they encountered a student of Lan Wu, no matter who they were, they should run, the faster the better.
"Why?"
Victim 1: "There's not a single normal person in their school! Especially those who follow Cheng Mianmian around, each one is crazier than the other! They're all psychos!"
Victim 2: "If you meet that devil Cheng Mianmian, don't run away. Just kneel down and beg her to slap you. You'll get that slap sooner or later anyway."
Victim 3: "All the students at Lanwu are Cheng Mianmian's followers. They follow her around like a queen on tour. When they see students from other schools, they rush over, pin them to the ground, and line up like pigs to be slaughtered, asking Cheng Mianmian if they want to slap them for fun.
After Cheng Mianmian finished slapping them, they kindly said thank you for your hard work and asked if your hand hurt.
Neuropathy! "
Victim 4: "They love to do things that aren't particularly harmful but are extremely insulting. I just want to ask if anyone can control them!"
Facing the accusation, Lan Wu's students said: "Good deeds should be repaid and revenge should be taken. It was just a slap in the face. If I didn't kill you, then just smile!"
Cheng Mianmian: "Not slapping me? It's not impossible. But I hope you won't regret it."
