Chapter 202 The Horn of Departure
Yellow sand swept in, and layers of small sugar-like particles floated among the gravel.
Those are not polished gravel powder, but crystals of radioactive dust condensed over a long period of time.
It sounds romantic, but when the wind blows on the face of an ordinary person without protective gear, it can make small holes.
Yu was naturally not an ordinary person. Her left arm transformed into a bunch of tangled blood-red chains, and at the end of each chain was a woman.
These women are not ordinary people, let alone good people.
They were all the cadres and small leaders of the Doomsday Raiders team that she had carefully recruited recently. They were considered to be ruthless.
After these people die tragically, the lives of those around them will become more peaceful, right?
Yu knew this was just self-consolation. Fortunately, the demon wasn't consuming humans very often, and had been busy developing areas near Taoli College. Otherwise, her efficiency in collecting the most sinful individuals wouldn't have been sufficient, and a few innocent people might have been caught in the mix.
Buzz... This high-frequency fluctuation is the regular scanning of the activated defense tower!
The moment Yu heard it, his body turned into nothingness, and he dragged the group of villains to the side and slid a distance away.
Her eyes moved around in the fog, and she memorized the defense tower in front of her that was thinner than a chimney.
This defense tower has no foundation and is the lowest-level portable defense tower among the church's defense towers. It is basically only used as a consumable in missions, but it is better not to be swept away.
She was fine, but these bound evil guys had to lose their limbs and make the devil unhappy.
Sand snap, sand puff.
She led them into the desert and stared at the oasis not far away: the people from the Human Soul Front and mercenaries were driving energy stakes there.
"Gulp." Yu swallowed.
The energy pile can store and charge energy just like a battery. To anomalies, it is like a piece of freshly baked soft bread that exudes an enticing aroma. From time to time, one or two hungry monsters will bump into it with a bang.
Even a highly anthropomorphic anomaly like her is so hungry. I believe that when all the energy piles are set up and begin to charge in an array... the fluctuations will surely spread far away with the air, triggering a fierce battle.
Good opportunity. Join them. I'm hungry. I want to eat.
A shattering sound lingered in her mind, the distracting thoughts she had harbored while nurtured within the blood cocoon. Yu suppressed these distractions, turned her head, grabbed her left arm, and dragged the villains away from the oasis.
I am human, or at least I used to be. Even if I can never return to the human world, I shouldn't cause trouble for everyone.
Yu lowered her eyes somewhat dejectedly: even though she could control her abnormal hunting instinct most of the time, compared to her who "wanted to be a human being", those bastards behind her who were chained and cursing and didn't want to be human were more popular with humans.
Boom boom.
A burning sound rang out.
Jade's head shot up, and she was met head-on by a large ball of deep purple flames.
Rumble.
The flames dispersed on their own a second before touching her, floating to the side "friendly"ly, and a graceful shadow emerged in the center.
The light first outlined a tall and strong figure, and then a pair of long legs full of power took shape in the flames.
Tap, click.
Boots and feet appeared at the same time, and the abdominal muscles and towering chest were getting closer and closer with the footsteps.
Her brilliant golden hair fluttered in the wind, and Sinaya laughed wildly, her sharp fangs showing: "Not bad, you are more useful than I thought."
The gorgeous gown was draped diagonally across the shoulders, with the ruffles at the chest left open wide, allowing the jeweled pendant to sway freely in front of the curve.
Yu Wuyan tightened his flesh and blood, allowing the fluid in his "blood vessels" to flow slowly without showing any abnormalities.
The devil's attitude towards me and humans has become "gentler" than before, but that is not out of kindness. Instead, it is a very hard training. It is practicing its acting skills.
Just as she thought, no matter how dashing Xinnaya's smile was, it did not reach her eyes.
The devil's aura was more restrained than before, each flame buried deep within her flesh. Every step she took and every movement of her upper body seemed polite and effortless, like a refined "merchandising."
When had the devil ever driven himself to this point? Yet he now relished it.
In front of Yuhe, whom she looked down upon, Xinaya completely transformed into a human, even speaking through her throat instead of her mind. "But these people you captured don't seem very similar?"
Her eyes swept over the women coldly, and her lips were pursed into a straight line.
Jade placed her right hand on her chest and said calmly, "These humans were specifically found according to your needs. They are all female, with long hair, between 150-180cm tall, and between 18-40 years old. Even more commendable is that each one is full of courage, and is extremely cunning and brutal."
Uh. The devil couldn't help but choke.
From the perspective of abyssal creatures, the 22-year age difference and the 30-centimeter height difference can be completely ignored. It is too picky to insist on being exactly the same as Chen Xiao'er.
Her eyes passed over the women chained together.
They all remained calm in such adversity. Some of them cursed loudly, some glared at her with gloomy faces, and some smiled ingratiatingly.
Courage, ferocity, cunning...they all possess these precious qualities that Chen Xiao'er possesses.
To be fair, this little monster completed the task very well, there was absolutely no room for criticism, and it would be difficult for her to do better.
But that's not right.
This group of people must be lacking some particularly crucial temperament, so that they look very different from Chen Xiao'er.
That's not the difference between 0.1 and 10, but the difference between negative 100 and positive 100.
What on earth was it? A blank look flashed across her eyes, she had no idea.
"Oh, okay." Xinnaya smiled coldly. She didn't know what was missing, so the little monster naturally didn't know either.
The devil beckoned his fingers listlessly, and the bloody chains broke off from Yu's body, extending to a position three meters away from her.
After this period of practice, her control over energy has become several times stronger than before, and she can move heavy objects with just a tiny wisp of light.
Xinnaya raised her right hand, looked at her strong arm and bony fingers, and grinned: Chen Xiaomie, no matter how cunning or powerful you are, your body is still flesh and blood, right?
How far can your fragile body resist me?
Hiss—she clenched her palms. Just thinking about it made her feel good.
The devil ignored these human flaws. After all, Chen Xiao'er was so special, how could he find a replacement who was similar enough?
It's just a fake. I'll find a braver, more cruel and more cunning woman when I have time.
Chen Xiao'er, in the end, I will definitely make you fall for me.
Buzz......
Sinaya turned around and saw the energy pile in operation. She moved her fingers, restraining the urge to crush these artificial structures.
No, I have to paralyze the church and ask them to send Chen Xiao'er over here.
Um, wait a minute.
She took two steps and then stopped, snapping her fingers neatly. The whole set of movements was full of the "naturalness" of countless practices.
Xinaya bit her index finger and licked her teeth gently. "Humans have been really busy lately, sticking these little pillars everywhere. It seems they're working on something interesting. Okay, I'll join in the fun."
I remember you loved the hustle and bustle, Chen Xiao'er. So, will you come? I'm... so excited.
......
Beep.
The indicator light turned from red to green, and Zero opened his eyes, with a flash of light in the center of his pupils.
"Everything is fine." A gentle voice sounded in her mouth and in her mind at the same time.
Due to her own request and the bishop's support, this routine reset was postponed.
Instead, there is a daily online questioning, allowing 999 companions to examine her heart and ensure that there is no possibility of her betraying humanity.
The answer is of course no.
Zero will not betray humans. He only wants to accompany Xiao'e until the day she completely walks out of the shadows.
[1: And then?]
[0:1, you are reading my thoughts in real time, why are you doing this. ]
[1: Yes, because it is necessary.]
Their thoughts interacted in their overflowing souls, forcing them to be in sync with each other.
Zero didn't protest or refute. She just calmly put on her battle uniform and zipped it up.
In the last link, she and everyone searched the current status of the public memory pool.
It's filled with too many redundant emotions, like dropping a drop of dye into pure water—it changes color. And what's more, it's more than just one or two drops of dye.
【1:0, I must warn you.】
[1: Although we all have independent memory storage areas, if the deep shared memory pool is polluted, very serious accidents will occur.]
[0: I remember there is an emergency plan. Once it is jointly confirmed by the Pope and Our Lord-Glory, complete purification can be implemented.]
[1: Yes, but the source of pollution is unforgivable and will definitely be removed from the queue.]
【1: Even if it's you, 0. 】
【1: I don’t want it to be you, 0. 】
Brush——
Zero didn't answer, because the sealed cabin had already opened. Standing between her and the bus was her shy lover.
"zero!"
"Xiao Ai."
A smile appeared on Ling's face, and he hugged Xiao'er who jumped over.
She turned a small circle at the edge of the corridor, letting the girl move closer due to inertia, pressing tightly against her chest and abdomen, completely transferring the scorching heat to her.
"Sister." Xiaotong shouted while holding the door frame.
Chen Xiao'er quickly flew down from Ling, took Xiaotong's hand and explained to her: "Teacher, Professor Mi Luo said that we should take a bus with the student union to the practice site."
Her eyes were full of hope, a hope that contained both the joy of "being with you" in the past and the expectation of taking good care of her sister.
[1: Chen Xiaotong's danger level is extremely high. She does not have the kindness we recognize towards humans.]
【0: Understood.】
Ling Lian Qu Liu Guang nodded gently: "Okay, I will take good care of her."
She walked to Xiao'e and took her wrist, and reached out to grab Xiaotong with her other hand, but the clever girl let her go.
The newborn snake didn't want the apostle to touch it, so it circled around to the other side and hugged Chen Xiao'er's left arm. The bus door opened, and the three people walked up one after another.
Chen Xiao'er looked to both sides and saw six seats in a row, three on each side.
The rows in front and behind were filled with student council members, their long light hair, eye color, and uniforms still beautiful and eye-catching.
"......" They didn't chat. Whenever she passed by, they would always look at her silently and then look away.
Are you saying hello?
Chen Xiao'er felt a strange pang of fear. She often ran into student union members at school, but this time, as she walked among them, she felt a sense of strangeness, as if she hadn't seen them for a long time.
"Huh." She breathed quietly and walked with Zero to the middle seat, where there were the last three empty seats.
Chen Xiaotong stared into her sister's eyes motionlessly. Ling sat to the innermost side first, and Chen Xiao'er followed naturally and sat in the middle.
"Xiaotong~" The elder sister patted the seat near the aisle. Xiaotong thought about it and sat down obediently.
Chen Xiao'er helped Xiaotong fasten her seatbelt, then turned to Ling and asked softly, "Where are we going for this extracurricular practice?"
"There's an oasis at the farthest edge of the United City's outskirts. It was originally rich in resources, but after mining, it developed into a scenic spot."
[“At the edge of Taoli Academy’s influence, near an oasis in the wilderness. It was originally a gathering place for humans, but was later occupied by anomalies.”]
Oh~ Build a communication base station in the scenic area.
Chen Xiao'er didn't think much about it and stood up to pull the curtains next to her.
Sand.
Her hand slid across the curtains, and her feet slipped. Zero took advantage of the situation and opened his arms to embrace her, holding her firmly in his arms.
The two looked at each other in their seats.
"If we still have tomorrow, you'll be the one to take my first kiss."
Fragments of dreams flashed through Chen Xiao'er's mind, and she closed her eyes as if possessed by a ghost.
