Chapter 209 The Seventh Level
No one could sleep. Except for those who were still working, the rest of the people stood in front of the glass, looking at the planet below with fear in their hearts.
After Youxi's airship finished its spontaneous auxiliary stabilization mission, it loosened the mooring rope and rose back to the original suspended height. She hurried back to her suite and looked out from the glass observation deck, with a wider view.
She had never seen such an earthquake. The ground seemed to be constantly turned over by a giant earthworm, as fragile as tofu.
In the original fortress base, some small buildings left behind collapsed one by one, and the tall steel walls shook and fell to the ground like building blocks.
Even the towering green mountains, which had always stood firm despite all the disasters, made a loud sound of breaking...
Even Youxi was shocked by such a scene.
If she were still on the ground, no matter where she hid, whether in a solid building, on a mountain or underground, she would not be able to survive such a super earthquake.
Fortunately, this world has "drifting wood" and fortunately, the technology of this world has built a floating fortress, otherwise, the entire human race would be extinct.
For this planet, only the air is safe now.
Is this earthquake the last disaster?
I hope so.
I hope that before all the fuel that supports the suspension of the fortress, electricity, and air filtration is used up, the ground of the planet can calm down again.
No matter how the world is destroyed, as long as there are still human beings alive, they can rebuild their homes on the endless ruins.
In the following time, Youxi's airship was parked outside the cylindrical building in Area K. The planting area and the breeding area are here. Due to technical reasons, all the cylindrical buildings have not yet been connected, and they can only travel between them through flying tools.
Yinyin's parents changed jobs after the accident in this area. Yinyin's mother is in the breeding area, and her father is in charge of the repair and maintenance of electronic machinery and equipment in the planting area.
The staff dormitory they applied for has been approved, and Xingmin's operation is naturally involved here.
Living in the staff dormitory, they are not only closer to Yan Shang, but also move into a safe area that ordinary people are prohibited from entering.
Area K cannot accommodate any unofficial flying tools, so Youxi's airship is just parked nearby, ready to send their daughter back whenever Yinyin's parents need her. In
the following month, Yinyin would go back occasionally, but no matter how long she was away, she would drag Youxi with her. She was like a small pendant on her body, she would follow Youxi wherever she went, and she would also ask Youxi to follow her wherever she went. The
little girl was getting better and better at showing off her childish and cute appearance, and she would always grab the corner of her clothes and beg her in a low voice.
Youxi had nothing to do anyway, so she followed along.
Occasionally, he would run into Yan Shang when sending Yinyin back. He was thinner than before, and it was not known whether it was because of the busy and hard work or because of the limited water supply in the fortress, but fortunately he was in good spirits.
The other party still spoke very little. He would silently look at her when she was talking to others, but would quickly look away when she looked back.
Xiyuan would sometimes follow him to Area K. When he saw him, he would privately ask him if he wanted to go back to the airship with them. After all, the conditions on both sides were not the same.
"No, I'm no longer her servant."
"What's the matter? Youxi doesn't care about these at all." Xiyuan could actually see that the other party still wanted to follow Youxi, but he didn't understand why he wanted to end the master-servant relationship when he obviously cared.
Yan Shang looked at the other party's delicate and pretty face and smiled softly: "I really envy you, you can do whatever you want..." You can call her name without any scruples, you can act coquettishly in front of her easily, you can say whatever you want, and you can work hard to do whatever you want.
And he couldn't do all these.
Xiyuan looked at him: "If you care so much and like her so much, why did you end the master-slave relationship?"
"You don't understand, because this is the only thing I can do..."
"I don't understand you..." Xiyuan shook his head, "You don't even fight for what you want, oh, forget it ."
As a servant bought home by Youxi, Xiyuan always felt empathy for Yan Shang. After chatting with her, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Yinyin, who came to call him to eat, heard it and said in a cold voice: "You are still worrying about other people's affairs. Take care of yourself first, you idiot who knows nothing."
"......?" Xiyuan was almost laughing out of anger, "I said, what's wrong with you, little girl? You have been talking in a stern and arrogant way recently. When did I offend you? I don't know what's wrong?"
The girl's dark eyes looked at the familiar face in front of her quietly. In the depths of her eyes, there were all kinds of complicated emotions, pity, helplessness... even envy.
Yes, now he doesn't know what kind of path he will embark on in the future.
Ignorance is fearless. Let him spend this last happy time well.
Thinking of this, the girl turned around and said, "It's time to eat. Come on. Youxi is cooking today and made delicious potatoes, beef brisket and double-cooked pork."
**
In a blink of an eye, it is almost the end of June, and Youxi still has four months to complete the task.
In the past month, the subsequent collapse caused by the super earthquake has slowly stopped, and all the "Red Lotus Disease" patients who were originally wandering on the ground have been dragged deep underground, and the frequency of acid rain has also slowly decreased.
The outdoor temperature has rebounded as the tropospheric volcanic dust slowly dissipates, and finally stabilized at the most comfortable ten to twenty degrees.
What surprised the officials even more was that according to the detection equipment, the virus that was originally permeated in the outside air seemed to be reducing its activity a little bit.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
But compared to the joy of others, Yinyin's emotional state is getting more and more tense.
She is no longer interested in arguing with Xiyuan. Every day, she clings to the glass of the airship, staring at the sky outside with a pair of dark eyes, as if she wants to see the outer sky through the dark sky filled with volcanic dust.
Where is the place outer than the troposphere?
Stratosphere?
Mesosphere?
Exosphere?
If we go beyond the exosphere, won't we enter the universe?
Youxi shook her head at her divergent thinking, but Xingmin reminded her in time.
[The premise that a super-earthquake is the last disaster is that human rebellion is also counted as one of the seven disasters.]
Youxi: I know that if I have too many preconceived ideas and judge based on my own subjective consciousness, I will easily be slapped in the face by reality. I will be vigilant.
**
Early in the morning of that day, Youxi was awakened by the sound of crackling on the window glass of the boat.
It was raining outside, and it was a heavy rain that had not happened recently. The rain was dense, hitting the glass, making a noisy sound.
She walked a few steps to the glass observation deck and found that the sky, which had been cloudy for a long time, seemed to have been washed clean, and the real sky blocked by volcanic dust was revealed again.
Someone knocked on the door of the suite, a little anxiously.
She went to open it. Yinyin, who lived in the next room, was standing there. When she saw her speak, she immediately rushed to the glass.
As she had done many times before, she clung to the glass and looked at the sky outside with her dark pupils again. This time, there was more uneasiness and tension in her eyes.
"It's coming." She spoke softly, her voice still soft, but with the vigilance of an adult.
Youxi looked at her warily: "What's coming?"
She turned around and met her eyes: "The real seventh level."
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed out of the suite and headed towards the cockpit.
The next second, Youxi heard a strange sound coming from the sky outside the airship, like a huge roar, coming from the distant deep space towards this planet.
The door of the suite was pushed open again, and Xing Min walked in quickly. His five senses were far superior to hers. When she heard the strange sound, he had already seen clearly what was happening in the distant deep space.
"Something is not right. The technology of the visitors is far beyond this world. It doesn't seem like it should be in this world." Xing Min held her and checked the sky again in front of the observation deck.
[I have always been puzzled. Why is there so little information about this world? It is obviously not a fragmented world. Why didn't the system tower send a tasker? ]
You Xi: Do you mean that the important information that the system tower blocked is the current aliens? This is also the reason why the system tower did not send a tasker, because...
[Because there is no need. ]
Xing Min turned around and looked at her, which also showed that this last disaster must not be something she could resist.
He might try to protect her, but there are still four months left before the mission is completed. With his current broken body, he can protect her for a while, but he is not sure that he can protect her for the long four months.
Xing Min suddenly frowned and turned to look at the sky outside. With the vision of ordinary people, those giant black flying objects cannot be seen for the time being, and they can't find that at this moment, at the bottom of these huge objects, a light blue mist is spreading rapidly. The mist spreads rapidly, mixed with the rain, and is shrouding the ground of the entire planet.
He felt an unprecedented crisis, which was an intuition.
[Empty your mind, I'll take you back now!]
You Xi: Back to where?
[The native world. Youxi
: But the main mission of my world has not been completed yet. If I go back now...
Don't worry, I will cut off the connection between myself and this world first. If the docking system fails, you will return to the starting point safely, back to the time when the mission has not yet begun.
Youxi: What?
This is the first time she has heard of this operation, but she is not stupid. If this operation is as easy as he said, and there is no danger, then why did he endure the pain of his body being broken and hold up the shield for a full thirty-six hours in the underground laboratory of the acid rain world, until she completed the world mission and returned to the original world smoothly, instead of using this method now?
This shows that this method must be very harmful to the system itself, which will be more harmful than consuming energy to hold up for thirty-six hours and finally fall into hibernation!
Youxi grabbed him back and pulled him towards her: "Wait! It's not a life-or-death situation yet, hold on a little longer, if--"
Her voice was interrupted by his action.
Xingmin's fingers touched her face and smiled at her softly: "Youxi, I can't gamble with your safety now."
The slender fingers that were stroking her cheek moved to the back of her neck, pulling her closer to him, then lowered his head and touched her forehead with his lips.
While she was looking at him in surprise and distracted, he frowned and began to forcibly interrupt the connection with the world-
at this moment, both of them felt a majestic energy, which was countless times stronger than the sporadic energy that Xingmin had always felt before.
They looked back at the glass observation deck and saw a layer of light grey halo rapidly spreading along the outer shell of the airship. This layer of halo was stimulated from the front of the airship. In just two or three seconds, it enveloped the entire airship and completely isolated it from the outside world.
The power of this shield belongs to the system tower!
Youxi and Xingmin looked at each other, one of them released an ice shield to wrap the two of them, and the other conjured a light golden lightsaber and walked out at the same time.
In the corridor, the doors of Xiyuan and Heimu's rooms were closed. They were just ordinary people and did not notice the movement from deep space. They should still be asleep.
The two walked through the airship and saw Yinyin, who had just withdrawn her hand from the glass floor, near the cockpit in front of them.
Youxi saw a circle of light gray bracelet flashing on her slender wrist. The majestic energy just now came from this.
Xing Min found that this light gray halo shield completely blocked the heavy rain with light blue mist outside, and the airship was also driven behind a giant cylinder by the opponent, as if deliberately avoiding the huge creature in the deep space.
He looked out of the airship window and found that the reflection of the airship could not be seen on the smooth outer wall of the giant cylinder opposite. The light gray shield seemed to not only isolate the danger from the outside world, but also hide the airship.
"Who are you?" Xing Min asked.
The girl looked at him without replying. She took two steps towards Youxi and touched the gray bracelet at the same time. The next moment, an ordinary white paper appeared in her palm.
"Someone asked me to give it to you." The girl looked at her and handed over the white paper.
Youxi took it and gently unfolded it. There were two lines of handwritten words on it.
- I know "it" has set its sights on you. Don't worry, I have already entangled "it" and I will get rid of "it". I am working hard, and you have to work hard to hold on too. Trust the person who handed you this information, and the other party will help you get through this inevitable failure
- come on, complete the task well, and wait for you to come back.
There was no signature, but Youxi guessed the owner of the note when she saw the second line of words.
That line of words was the last words she said to the other party in the zombie world.
She knew she had broken her promise, because when the other party went back, it was not Youxi who was left behind, but "Youxi".
She used to think that every time she settled everything and left that world, the people in the world would not find out that she was gone, and they would happily continue their lives with "Youxi".
This is true in the meteorite world and the zombie world... But she only now understands that if two people who have treated each other sincerely, even if the "Youxi" left behind is too similar, the other party will eventually find out the clues.
This is true for Youqi, this is true for Tang Yatong, and this is also true for Leng Mian...
Perhaps her parents in the zombie world, her daughter in the storm world, and her companions in the vampire world will also find out, but she has left and has no idea about what is happening in another world in a distant time and space...
And they may also be like Tang Yatong and Leng Mian, missing her and helping her in a place she can't see.
The white paper in Youxi's hand automatically disintegrated after she finished reading it, turning into fine dust and dissipating in the air. This should also be a prop. Leng Mian used this method to convey information to her, it must be because some things cannot be too straightforward.
After all, this is a mission world, a world controlled by the system tower.
[Is it Leng Mian? ]
Youxi nodded to Xing Min.
The other party's help came so timely, avoiding Xing Min's self-harm, she was very grateful.
She held Xing Min's hand and looked at the little girl in front of her again: "Who are you? What is the seventh level?"
