Gu Qi walked over to Shi Xu and asked, "Xu, how is the situation in Beijing?"
Shi Xu shook his head, frowning slightly. "I don't know. As soon as you left, something tried to forcibly invade my consciousness."
He paused. "After I refused, I had a splitting headache. When I woke up, I found myself here..."
At this point, Shi Xu's ears flushed red, his toes unconsciously scratching the soles of his shoes, his gaze drifting to the Lu siblings: "...and Miss Lu and Young Master Lu were buried in a pile of dirt. When they climbed up and saw Brother Yan, they realized it was the end of the world..."
He Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened: "What did you say? You don't remember anything?"
Shi Xu nodded calmly: "Yeah, I don't remember."
"How could you forget to call me uncle?" He Zhuo pressed on, pointing at Lu Nange: "What about the one who called Meibao "Mom", Aye "Brother", and Yan Ge "Dad?"
Shi Xu took deep breaths inwardly: [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I really can't live like this anymore!]
There was no hesitation on his face, he said firmly: "He Zhuo, don't think that you can speak freely just because I remember you."
He Zhuo was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Think about it carefully, how could you not remember? How could you forget such an important thing?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing at He Zhuo's nonsense...
Lu Xici noticed the tips of Shi Xu's ears, which were red and about to bleed, and suppressed a smile and said, "It might be the brain's self-protection mechanism kicking in."
"What's there to protect?" He Zhuo scratched his head in confusion.
Lu Nange looked at Shi Xu's expression, which was on the verge of collapse, and asked: "What are the characteristics of the thing that forcibly invaded your consciousness?"
Shi Xu recalled: "It was like a cold electronic sound... and I could control lightning-like energy. It exploded in my consciousness. It hurt so much..."
He shook his head. "The rest... I can't remember clearly."
Lu Nange's brow furrowed slightly, thoughts racing through his mind: [It sounds like it's the same kind of creature as "Youyou"... This must be what Youyou is worried about? ...]
Gu Qi thought thoughtfully: "Then how did you recover?"
Shi Xu: "It seems to be... the pills that Miss Lu kept feeding me."
Everyone: "Oh, that's fine..."
He Zhuo: "The sky is falling! I've even planned how I'm going to treat you like a living being and how I'm going to make fun of you once you regain your memory. How can you just forget it like that?"
Shi Xu remained calm: [As long as I refuse to admit it, even if you say it's a lie, it's just a lie.]
Ji Xian: "You speak as if the present prevents you from laughing at others."
"Old Ji!" He Zhuo's eyes widened in disbelief. "Which side are you on?"
Ji Xian: "Maybe... on the side of justice?"
While chatting and laughing, everyone had arrived at the section of the road where Chi Yi and his team had previously cleared out the mutant frogs.
Lu Nange gently rubbed the curly little head on Lu Beiye's shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, little Zhizhi."
"Chirp~" Zhizhi shook the vines happily.
[Master, look at this...]
I saw dozens of vines flying rapidly on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they rolled up all the scattered crystal cores, without leaving a single one behind.
The night wind blew by, and everyone leaned against the side, their tense nerves finally relaxing.
They walked slowly through the ruins in the night, moving slowly towards the outside of the city.
Lu Nange suddenly remembered something and took Zhizhi from Lu Beiye's shoulders: "Little Zhizhi, is there anything else you know that I don't know?"
The branches shook their leaves, making a faint "chirp" sound.
[Master, there's no more, really! And since you didn't ask, I forgot to tell you...]
Lu Nange's fingertips gently fiddled with the leaves on Zhizhi's hands and feet: "Can you smell all these leaves on your body?"
