Chapter 127 Beyond Time and Stardust
They noticed something was wrong when they met again after two years of separation.
First, the other person’s space was gone. Second, blood relatives always have some feelings. In addition, they have witnessed things beyond common sense, so some guesses gradually came into being.
However, Youqi did not ask, and Tang Yatong did not say.
"Youxi" was the same as before, caring about them and trying to give them the best.
In Youqi's eyes, this was probably the price. Her sister was reborn to save them, she had space, she had different abilities, and now they have settled safely in the country, so she "left".
She felt that she should have to leave, and she was even afraid that they would be sad, so she did not dare to say goodbye to them formally. She just quietly left alone in the distance, leaving "Youxi" to accompany them.
But Tang Yatong would occasionally have different strange guesses. Was the Youxi who was reborn in Country M really the original Youxi?
And the current "Youxi" seemed to be different from the Youxi before and after the rebirth.
"Youxi" still followed the troops to perform various tasks, and died in an accident a few years later.
During that time, Youqi became a little silent. She would always run to the ground alone in a safe period without meteorites falling to look at the night sky.
Tang Yatong knew what she was thinking. For them, there was a taboo term that no one had mentioned, but it always pierced their hearts like a thorn.
That word was the system tower.
Tang Yatong looked at the golden card in the space and made up her mind from then on.
Later, as time went by, the construction of the underground city was improved day by day, and various high-strength anti-meteorite materials were invented and produced.
Human life gradually split into two directions. The new generation of young people likes the life in the underground city, while the older people prefer to go back to the ground.
Although there is no trace of nature on the ground except the high-strength anti-meteorite house, and although the air outside has become extremely bad and it is difficult to move without protective clothing and oxygen masks, Youqi still likes to live on the ground.
Neither of them married. Youqi dedicated her life to the country and the people. When she was in her fifties, she died in a rescue mission for a collapse of the underground city.
When she was dying, she begged Tang Yatong to take her to the ground. She looked at the stars in the night sky and closed her eyes forever.
When Tang Yatong was sorting out her belongings, she found an undelivered letter. The letter was written 20 years ago and was addressed to her.
In the letter, she asked her if she had guessed it long ago. But in her eyes, whether it was the previous Youxi, the reborn Youxi, or even the "Youxi" without space, they were all her sisters and her beloved family.
But if it is possible and she is still alive, she must be in the world of the system tower.
She doesn't know what she will choose when that day comes, but if she chooses to enter another world, she hopes she can find her.
If possible, she hopes she can help her and take care of her.
But Youqi also knew that such a request was selfish, so the letter was never sent.
Tang Yatong smiled, and she suddenly felt relieved. Yes, no matter which Youxi it is, aren't they all their family members?
She knew how much her friend loved her sister. She probably missed her every day, but because she didn't want to embarrass her, she hid the letter for nearly twenty years.
But to her, Youxi was no longer just Youqi's sister.
She would always remember their tortuous and difficult journey from Country M across thousands of miles to return to China.
Even a journey that was not originally very pleasant would be coated with a layer of hazy beauty because of time when recalled, let alone their journey back home that was full of vitality.
Like Youqi, she had always been missing and remembering.
And she was luckier than Youqi, because the end of everyone was a new starting point for her.
For so many years, she has been preparing, learning various martial arts, learning wilderness survival, learning various skills, learning to disassemble and assemble various weapons...
After that, she continued to live a down-to-earth life and lived every day well. She lived to be over sixty years old. Because she lived on the ground for too long, her lung function had problems.
This is the price that humans have to pay for living on the ground, but she has no regrets. She has lived a very fulfilling and satisfying life.
Then, she closed her eyes and opened them again, made a choice, and entered the world of the system tower.
She regained her appearance when she was thirty years old. Life was like an extra opportunity. She had many advantages over other newcomers. She had space, card props, weapons stored in them, and she also had various skills.
She has been to many worlds, completed many missions, and seen many worlds that only existed in her imagination before...but she has never found herself.
The world of the system tower is too large and complicated. She simply cannot look for someone in a high-profile manner. That will bring trouble to both the other party and herself.
Later, she slowly gave up and thought it was not bad to live like this.
Anyway, this life is extra, and every day alive is earned.
This is her seventh S-level mission. If she completes four more, she will be able to enter the inner tower, challenge SS-level missions, and even glimpse the secrets of the world.
But she doesn't care about it, and she doesn't have any gains and losses. Some people say that this may be the reason why she can succeed in every mission.
The same is true in this world, but after closing her eyes and opening them again, she heard a familiar voice that she hadn't heard for a long time.
"Xiaoxi?"
The familiar name made Youxi walk forward quickly.
She looked at the young boy on the sofa, but she saw the long-lost longing and doting in his eyes.
Youxi: ...
Such a picture with a strong sense of incongruity made her feel a tingling sensation in the back of her head. The
only one who would look at her with such an elder's eyes, call her "Xiaoxi", and appear in this way was -
"Sister Yatong?" Youxi was stunned.
"Silly girl, it's so hard to see you." The other party smiled and opened his arms to hug her.
This hug crossed time and space, crossed the universe and stardust, carrying longing and remembrance, "It's me, long time no see, Xiaoxi."
**
When You Zhenzhen came out of the shower, she found that the atmosphere in the living room had changed. Her mother and Qu Yichen were sitting in front of the tea table in the living room, studying a scenic map on it.
On the map was the entire floor plan of Luyuan Peak, with each building, scenic spot and the routes up and down the mountain clearly marked.
At present, the mobile phone signal is not working again, and they can't contact the people on the mountain, so they are guessing where they might take refuge to see if there is any chance of survival.
When You Xi saw Tang Yatong again, in addition to surprise, she actually felt guilty. After all, for various reasons, she had to choose not to say goodbye. But obviously, Tang Yatong, who had experienced many mission worlds, had already guessed everything.
When she wanted to speak, she patted her shoulder to show that she understood everything.
What else is there to understand?
The idea of rebirth was just an excuse. She was originally from the mission world, and her mission was to escort them back home safely.
The only thing that still puzzled her was that she didn't understand why she was also called Youxi in this world, and except for her age, she looked exactly the same as Youxi before...
She had experienced so many worlds, and each time her identity was different, and there were men, women, young and old.
"Are you from Neta?" This was the only answer Tang Yatong could think of.
"No." She was still hesitant about whether she could reveal the matter of the Star House system to the other party, but she felt that she could say other things, "I am Youxi, and the Youxi in every world is me. This is also what I originally look like."
"So these mission worlds are your parallel worlds?"
"I have guessed so, but they are just guesses. I don't have answers to some things." She paused, but still asked, "Is my sister... okay?"
"Before she died, she was always doing what she wanted to do, and she and I... lived a good life."
"That's good."
Tang Yatong touched her head. She had just arrived in the world. In addition to her own mission, she also wanted to rescue the parents of the character "Qu Yichen" within her ability, so the two of them talked briefly and began to analyze the map and share news and information from both sides.
When the two people were sharing information about the "fragmented world", You Zhenzhen came out. They stopped talking in tacit understanding and continued to analyze the situation based on the map.
"...So, if they had gotten here before the first typhoon, they should all be alive."
"Yes, the buildings here are relatively solid, and there is a mountain on one side to block the impact of the typhoon. But the trouble is that after the eye of the storm passes, the typhoon's wind direction will change and will come from the opposite direction. If they are still here now..." You Xi did not continue to say the following words. After the eye of the typhoon,
the wind direction changed. If they were still hiding in the same place, they would be in danger of death.
Tang Yatong frowned and instinctively took out a cigarette from her pocket (space) to smoke.
You Xi coughed softly. Tang Yatong glanced at You Zhenzhen beside her, then resigned herself to putting the cigarette back silently.
You Zhenzhen looked at You Xi and Qu Yichen, and had an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.
You Xi noticed her, tilted her head and asked her if she was hungry and what she wanted to eat in the evening.
It was almost evening by then, and the heavy rain was still falling outside. The sky was completely dark. From the perspective of ordinary people, the scenery outside was blurred by the rain.
"Have some instant noodles in the evening. There are still instant noodles in the backpack." You Zhenzhen was probably afraid that Qu Yichen would find out about the space, so she answered hurriedly.
Tang Yatong looked at the little girl who was anxious to cover her mother, smiled, and then stood up: "I just ran outside, I'll go take a shower first-while the water on the mountain is still flowing."
She opened the escape backpack that Qu Yichen carried with him on the sofa, and rummaged through it with some disdain. Finally, she decided to take the whole backpack into the bathroom and replace it with her own things.
She didn't dislike other people's things. After all, now even her "body" belongs to someone else. She just disliked that there were too few practical things in this escape backpack. At a glance, she knew that the person using the backpack was a rookie with no survival experience.
"You want to take a shower here?" You Zhenzhen was stunned.
"It's okay. The situation is special now. Everyone should take a shower, eat something and take a rest."
"Take a rest?" You Zhenzhen looked at her mother, "You let him rest here?"
"Well, you are all children, so it's just right for each of you to have a room. I'll sleep on the sofa."
You Zhenzhen: ...
Another "child" in the bathroom Tang Yatong: ...

Because many tourists stayed in the lobby and refused to return to their rooms, the hotel prepared dinner for everyone. They not only distributed it to the tourists in the lobby, but also asked the waiters to push the dining cart in the corridor after counting the guests in the room. After
taking a shower, Tang Yatong went to pick up three dinners, mainly to inquire about the news.
Although the hotel and the scenic spot had issued a typhoon warning in advance, many tourists nearby were still injured on the way back to the building during the day. However, these people were all slightly injured, which was lucky. At least they are back to the hotel now.
In addition to reinforcing doors and windows and reassuring people, the hotel has also been trying to contact tourists who are still stranded outside, and is also contacting rescue personnel at the foot of the mountain.
The Heron Scenic Area is on high ground, and there is no hospital in this area. The nearest hospital is at the foot of the mountain, and so is the fire department. After they contacted each other, they told the list of missing tourists truthfully.
The rescue personnel said that after the typhoon passes, they will immediately send people up the mountain for rescue, and asked them not to panic and wait patiently.
But when the next morning came, the typhoon passed, and the rain subsided, the rescue still could not go up the mountain.
Because the road up and down the mountain was blocked by the collapsed landslide.
