Chapter 38: Polar Night? Journey



All the children came down to eat, and the empty first floor was immediately filled up, with a baby sitting on every seat.

After the seat at the bar was taken, Eva quickly closed the glass door and came to the driver's cab, her expression showing unspeakable fear.

Qi Mi stood up and gave her the passenger seat, preparing to go to the back to feed the cubs. Just as he passed by Eva, she grabbed him and said, "Mi, I can't stay here any longer. I think I should find a bar myself. Is there anything you need? I'll bring it back later."

Qi Mi frowned slightly, looking worried: "You go alone?"

"Hey! What's with that expression?" Eva nudged her and said with a smile, "I'm an experienced doomsday player. Do you think I'm a baby who needs your protection?"

Qi Mi nodded in agreement and smiled, "Okay, okay, I was just worrying too much. It's true, it shouldn't be a problem for you to go alone... As for food, I don't think you'll need anything special. Just bring back some more food."

"OK!" Eva shouldered her machete and pressed the front door button. "Just wait for my good news!"

Qi Mi watched her get off the car, but still worried, he leaned out and reminded her, "Be careful, and keep an eye on the time."

"Why are you acting like my mom?" Eva sighed helplessly. She took out her phone and checked the time with Qi Mi. "I'll be back in an hour, okay?"

Qi Mi smiled and made an OK gesture. After watching Eva walk away, she walked into the back of the RV and closed the glass door.

More than half an hour later, the children finished their meal and leaned on the glass to try to look out.

The car was meticulously covered with posters of Qi fans, so no matter how wide their eyes widened, they could only see Ultraman and the Little Magic Fairies. Zheng Yuanyuan volunteered to do the dishes, leaving the mess to Qi fans and Du Rui.

"Teacher Qi, where are we?" Fang Xinyue sat at the bar, her whole face pressed against the glass, her nose pressed down, her voice muffled.

Qi Mizheng held Zhao Yize in one hand and Xiao Langyu in the other, and told them to get along well.

When she heard the question, she looked up from her busy schedule and said, "I've just arrived in a new city, so I don't know what it's called."

Fang Xinyue turned her head: "Then where are we going?"

"The teacher will take you to see the sea."

Zhao Yizhe raised his head and blinked: "Is it the sea in 'the sea and sky are one color'?"

"yes."

Wang Xiaohu: "Are our parents also at the beach?"

Qi Mi pondered for a moment and replied hesitantly, "Teacher can only say...it's possible."

Maybe these kids have gotten used to it. Now when they mention their parents, they don’t cry so much. Even the youngest Di Yuntong has gradually accepted this environment and starts to giggle and play with Du Rui.

Qi Mi put Xiao Langyu on the seat and just took out his phone when he heard him ask, "Is Teacher Qi worried about Eva?"

"Oh, it's been forty minutes, and there's no movement at all." Qi Mi turned on the screen, glanced at the time, and then turned it off again. With so many people in need of protection here, she didn't dare to go out to look for Eva rashly, so she could only wait here anxiously.

"There are still twenty minutes left, don't worry." Du Rui comforted.

"Yeah." Qi Mi nodded and put away his phone.

But after twenty minutes, Eva still didn't come back.

There was still silence all around.

There was not even a speck of light in the darkness.

Qi Mi finally couldn't sit still anymore, so he got off the bus, climbed up the nearest tree with a telescope, and looked around. The only light source was the bus.

Just in case, she sat in the tree and waited for a few minutes to make sure there was still no light in the city.

Eva doesn't have the [Night Vision] skill, so when she walks on the street she must use her cell phone to illuminate the way. Even if the light is dim, she can still see a little bit.

But now, the whole city is as dull and silent as a graveyard.

Not only Eva, but also Yu Shan, who entered the city first, did not turn on the lights.

She had been using her cell phone to light up the entire journey, so there was no reason for her to turn it off as soon as she entered the city.

Is it just a coincidence that the power is out?

Qi Mi didn't quite believe in coincidences and thought something might have happened. After jumping down from the tree, she hurried back to the car.

The kids were listening to Du Rui's story with great interest. When they saw Qi Mi coming back, all their little eyes turned to him.

"Is the doctor back?" Wang Xiaohu, who was lying on the table, stood up quickly and asked.

Qi Mi's eyes flickered slightly, and she uttered a few perfunctory words: "It's almost done, you guys continue listening to the story, I'll wait a moment." After that, she gently closed the glass door.

what to do? !

There are so many people in the car now, it is impossible to ignore their lives, but Eva... Eva has not come back yet. If she encounters any danger, every minute wasted may put her in more danger.

Qi Mi was at a loss for a moment and paced back and forth in the cab anxiously.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of the glass door opening and closing out of the corner of her eye, and that brought her back to her senses.

Xiao Langyu walked out and handed over a Band-Aid.

The kind for children, with cute smiling faces on them.

Qi Mi was stunned for a moment, then realized that there was a small cut on his palm, probably caused by accident when climbing the tree just now.

She was fiddling with the Band-Aid when she heard Xiao Langyu offer, "If you're worried, go find Eva. I can stay here and protect them."

Qi Mi stared at him for two seconds, then asked again uncertainly, "What did you say?"

"Teacher Qi, you can go find Eva, and leave this to me. I will protect them." Xiao Langyu said seriously.

Qi Mi pursed her lips and said nothing.

The situation now was different from before, back in the Douding class. Back then, the children were all confined to a sturdy building, and no matter how powerful the monsters were, they couldn't get through the walls. But now, this tour bus was full of bugs, and it was possible that the entire bus would be destroyed. If a monster got inside, everyone on board would be doomed. Although Xiao Langyu had plant control abilities, she still felt uneasy about protecting so many people.

Little Langyu saw Qi Mi's hesitation and raised his little hand.

In an instant, several bare branches of the trees around the square grew leaves again, as if dead trees had come back to life in spring. Moreover, the branches grew longer and longer, and the branches on both sides intertwined with each other, forming a shield that wrapped the entire bus.

It fits perfectly without leaving any gaps.

Each branch seems to have vitality, building up layer upon layer of indestructible protective cover among the lush green leaves.

How could he have such strong control at such a young age?

Qi Mi looked at Xiao Langyu in disbelief. Xiao Langyu curved his eyebrows and immediately gave her a sweet smile in return.

"Can you rest assured now?" He raised his little head proudly.

Qi Mi thought for a moment, then squatted before him and earnestly instructed, "I'll be back as soon as possible. I'll leave this place in your hands."

"Um!"

Qi Mi took him into his arms and said softly, "Take care of yourself."

The voice was so light and soft that it sank into my heart as soon as it landed.

Xiao Langyu's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised the corner of his mouth quietly: "Hmm."

Qi Mi said something to Du Rui and pressed the emergency brake button she had designed specifically for this car. In an instant, the iron net dropped from the roof, enveloping the entire car.

Looking closely, the iron net was covered with dense and fine spikes. Before she left, she placed a few metal ladybugs crawling on the iron net in case of emergency.

Little Langyu looked at Qi Mi's back as he left, holding his hot and red face with his two little hands. It took him several minutes to calm down.

He looked around and suddenly realized a problem -

No, wait, how do I get out?

In order to avoid wasting time, Qi Mi rode a motorcycle into the city.

The whistling sound galloped through the streets, very loud and arrogant.

She also turned on the headlights of the car. If Eva was safe and sound, she would definitely show up when she heard the sound or saw the light.

This was the method she used when she found Eva.

But five minutes passed, she had already run across two streets, but still didn't see the blonde beauty suddenly jump out to stop a car.

Qi Mi became increasingly anxious, stopped the car, and shouted loudly: "Eva, if you hear me, just respond!"

She turned off the motorcycle engine and pricked up her ears to listen for any echo.

"Eva!" she cried again.

It was quiet.

Qi Mi frowned and looked up at a small supermarket ahead. This was the only road she had taken from entering the city, and this was the nearest supermarket. It was probably the first place Eva would have searched. Thinking she might find some clues inside, she parked the car, drew her sword, and walked inside.

The environment and layout of the supermarkets are similar. Except for the shelves in the daily necessities area which are still relatively full, all the edible items have been sold out, including the shelves in the alcoholic beverage section.

Not to mention a bottle of wine, there wasn't even an empty bottle.

The floor had not been cleaned for a long time and was covered with a layer of dust. I could vaguely see a lot of messy footprints passing through the beverage area, then turning around and running directly to the supermarket's warehouse.

Qi Mi followed the footprints and saw the claw marks of a wild beast, indicating that Yu Shan and Qiao Ye had also been here.

The door of the warehouse was open, and some worn-out clothes were piled inside. The shelves were empty, with only some insignificant massage instruments that were covered in dust and no one took them.

After passing here, the footprints turned around and walked out of the supermarket.

Qi Mi also walked out.

Apparently, the search yielded nothing.

She strode back onto the motorcycle, looked at the main road ahead and the alley on the side, and was wondering where to go -

Suddenly, a crisp sound of metal falling was heard on the quiet street.
