"Hmm, let me take a look." The man smiled gently, and the beauty mark at the corner of his right eye added a touch of charm when he smiled, making him look both obedient and gentle: "I shouldn't have been in such a hurry."
Shion: "...?"
"You seem to already know how to get out?" "Nanzhu" came to Shiyin's side, and Shiyin couldn't help but take a step back.
It's not my imagination, why does this Nan Zhu... suddenly make me feel so disgusted!
"What's wrong?" Nan Zhu asked, puzzled.
"Nothing... It's nothing." Shi Yin raised an eyebrow slightly: "It's easy to get out, but he probably wouldn't be happy if I took Ye Shaoheng out with me. He would do everything he could to save those ordinary people."
“Right.” “Nan Zhu” gave a helpless smile: “He has always been very driven and would fight for others and justice.”
Shi Yin: "..."
"Should I go and help him?" Nan Zhu looked at Shi Yin, her eyes clear and warm.
“…………If you’re willing.” Shi Yin shrugged: “Trying to help seedlings grow faster than they can grow, and if you’re too eager for quick results, things could go wrong, no, not good.”
"Hehe, Miss Shiyin is at the level of a superior and mentor, so it's natural that her guidance might be counterproductive." "Nanzhu" said with a smile, "As a friend, it's easier for her to understand when she says a few words, isn't it?"
"Go if you're willing." Shi Yin gave "Nan Zhu" a deep look, then turned her gaze back to Ye Shaoheng.
"Nan Zhu" bowed to Shi Yin, then turned and went downstairs. He seemed to be an ordinary person who acted on a whim.
Downstairs, Ye Shaoheng stopped in the shadow of a shop, casually picked up an apple from the stall, and took a bite.
Anyway, there's no boss in this mirror world, and the fruits and food inside won't spoil, so he can eat whatever he wants.
Ye Shaoheng had been walking for so long and was extremely thirsty and hot. The bad thing about the world being still was that there was no day or night here. He had to make the curtains thicker at night to block out all the light, otherwise he couldn't fall asleep at all.
In fact, Ye Shaoheng had to admit that he had been slacking off for the past two days and was simply too mentally exhausted.
Physical fatigue can be relieved by rest, but mental fatigue is persistent. Ye Shaoheng tried to rush into the sandstorm, but after being injured, he somehow returned the way he came, as if he were in a maze.
I can't find my way out, and I don't know what's happening outside.
At least send a message, let them know there's danger outside, that would be good...
Suddenly, a cold sensation touched her cheek, startling Ye Shaoheng so much that she jumped up from the ground, leaping three feet high.
Upon closer inspection, it was a glass of ice water, with condensation still floating on the glass bottle, indicating it had just been poured.
"Nanzhu! What are you doing!" Ye Shaoheng frantically rubbed his face. His face was burning from being exposed to the sun, and the sudden cold temperature made his brain go numb.
After saying that, Ye Shaoheng snatched the ice water and drank it all in one gulp. He finally felt a little better and also poured all the ice in the glass into his mouth and chewed it with a "crunch crunch".
"Uh, you're pretty good at snatching cups." "Nan Zhu" laughed helplessly, still not quite understanding what was happening.
"Of course, you put your hand holding the water glass on my face, it must be for me." Ye Shaoheng touched his cheek, the coolness still lingering: "Nanzhu, you seem different."
"Oh? How is it different?" Nan Zhu asked curiously.
Ye Shaoheng: "It's not that annoying anymore."
Nanzhu: "...Hehehe..."
"I'm serious. I don't know why, but I felt much more comfortable looking at you just now." Ye Shaoheng patted "Nanzhu" on the shoulder and smiled smugly: "You didn't come here to check on me, did you? Finally willing to work and not slack off?"
"Just passing by." Nan Zhu took two steps to the side without making a sound. "You look terrible. Are you still trying to find your way out?"
"Of course! I'm the man who's going to defeat the apocalypse. It would be too embarrassing to be trapped here." Ye Shaoheng leaned against the wall and muttered in dissatisfaction, "How can I become stronger? To be honest, I haven't figured out the pattern of these armor evolutions. They seem to evolve inexplicably."
Nan Zhu: "...Is that so?"
This guy is really annoying.
Does he know how difficult it is to evolve an evolutionary superpower? It's harder than a zombie skipping levels.
"This mirror world, in my opinion, seems more inclined to test people's will." "Nanzhu" pointed to the sandstorm that was faintly visible on the horizon: "More and more people feel that life here is good, and the sandstorms are getting stronger and stronger, aren't they?"
Ye Shaoheng looked towards the horizon and wholeheartedly agreed with what "Nanzhu" had said.
Initially, the sandstorm was invisible unless you were near the edge of the safe zone. When Ye Shaoheng rushed into the sandstorm, he didn't feel that it was particularly aggressive and he could withstand it.
Now, if Ye Shaoheng wanted to rush into the sandstorm, his armor would be worn and pitted, and even standing in the very center of the safe zone, he could vaguely see the sandstorm.
"Even so... it's quite difficult." Ye Shaoheng smiled wryly, "Besides, I can't even get out myself."
There is no wind or snow, no cold, no hunger, and no zombies... Except for the small size, lack of freedom, and sparse population, it is just like the Garden of Eden.
Moreover, Ye Shaoheng tried several times but couldn't get out on his own, let alone lead everyone out.
“Perhaps your resolve isn’t strong enough,” Nan Zhu gently shook her head.
"My determination is not enough. Don't underestimate the will of the descendants of the Ye family, okay?" Ye Shaoheng glared: "You can say I have a low IQ, but you can't say I'm disobedient or not brave. Every time I charge, I do it with the mindset of certain death."
“That’s where the problem lies.” “Nanzhu” spread his hands: “What is extinguished in the darkness is dusk, what brings light into the sky is dawn.”
Ye Shaoheng: "Huh?"
“Right, twilight is the sacrifice, and heroism should be the dawn that opens up the future.” “Nanzhu” said with a smile: “Everyone’s characteristics are different. Giving up one’s own will to pursue something that does not belong to oneself is putting the cart before the horse.”
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
"Nan Zhu" quietly watched Ye Shaoheng, who was lost in thought for a very long time. So long that "Nan Zhu" was already thinking of a way to leave, Ye Shaoheng suddenly stepped forward and hugged "Nan Zhu".
Nanzhu: "Eh? Captain Ye?"
"Thanks, brother! I didn't expect you to see things so clearly!" Ye Shaoheng hugged him briefly and then let go. He stretched out his right hand and pulled a rein out of thin air. With a strong pull, a fine horse emerged from under his crotch and neighed loudly.
"Where are you going?" Nan Zhu asked, somewhat uneasy.
“Go to the highest point of the safe zone. I think I vaguely understand what you mean. No wonder I always felt awkward.” Ye Shaoheng didn’t notice “Nanzhu’s” strange behavior. He was excited about his own changes and actually felt much more comfortable.
"Thanks, bro! You're the best, no wonder you're the right-hand man I trust!" Ye Shaoheng smiled brightly at "Nanzhu": "Once I've figured things out, I'll treat you to a good meal, put it on my tab!"
After speaking, Ye Shaoheng pulled on the reins, spurred his horse, and galloped away, quickly disappearing from sight.
Nanzhu: "..."
Am I the best?
"Nan Zhu" smiled somewhat reluctantly, her face, which was almost identical to Nan Zhu's, showing helplessness.
This person seems like a very warm-hearted and kind person, but inviting him to dinner... I'm afraid that's out of the question.
