Chapter 192: Underground Palace 4 [Update 1]
Ruan Xi had exhausted all his special abilities and physical strength, and left everything that followed to He Ziqian with peace of mind. He fell into a deep sleep in a daze.
Then he dreamed.
The various scenes in the dream kept changing like flashes, playing over and over again in an infinite loop. This repetitive loop was enough for Ruan Xi to see clearly all the contents of the picture.
Those images actually showed a relatively coherent history of the birth of alien parasites. Looking at those embryos with almost identical appearances being placed into the petri dishes one by one, the scene of seeing Xiaoguai for the first time unconsciously emerged in his mind... Damn, now that he thinks about it, he is not sure whether he saw Xiaoguai before he grew up in that base with his own eyes, and his mood becomes very complicated.
Such a history of the birth of alien parasites almost completely interprets the alien race's ambition for external expansion. The continuation of the race is all false. Their ultimate goal is always invasion and external expansion. In the hearts of aliens, there has never been a word like "kindness".
Perhaps, not all alien races are like this, but it is undeniable that the mainstream thinking among alien races is invasion and external expansion. They disdain to coexist peacefully.
"What the hell! What the hell is this! Do the aliens want to lead my little darling into such evil ways?" Ruan Xi couldn't help but curse in his dream. He couldn't control his wild power at all and cursed the aliens' ancestors for eighteen generations.
Ruan Xi was cursing in his dream, but he didn't know that all his curse words were revealed in the form of sleep talking. He Ziqian was so frightened that he almost stumbled and fell out with him.
"Xiao Xi?" He Ziqian called Ruan Xi uncertainly. He continued to scold her, but Ruan Xi was still in a deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up.
"What were you dreaming about..." He Ziqian then realized that Ruan Xi was talking in his sleep. He gently weighed the person in his arms and continued to move forward.
In front of Ruan Xi in the dream, the second "movie" began to play. This time, although the speed of the picture flashed a little faster, Ruan Xi could see the scene clearly in an instant and his eyes widened.
"Chen Haoyang!" Ruan Xi almost forgot the man's name, but when he saw this face again, he still subconsciously called out his name.
Ruan Xi thought he didn't hate him, but the fact was, the moment he saw Chen Haoyang's face, a strong sense of violence surged in his heart. If he didn't kill him, he wanted to torture that disgusting man until he couldn't even get up. No matter in his past life or this life, what he hated most was always betrayers.
The scenes continued to jump. There were things he had experienced personally, as well as things he had never known. He even saw the little girl who had shown kindness to him. After he blew himself up, she was killed by the scum Chen Haoyang and was scared of zombies.
"Chen-Hao-Yang!" If Ruan Xi had the chance to return to his previous life, he would never let Chen Haoyang go!
However, he is now living well in another time and space, and here, he has his concerns, his emotional belonging, and his happiness...
"He Ziqian..." Ruan Xi in the dream called He Ziqian's name over and over again. He Ziqian in reality also kept mumbling the same words in his sleep, which made He Ziqian's heart tighten.
"Xiao Xi... Xiao Xi... Wake up! I'm here, I'm here..." He Ziqian stopped, kissed the face of the person in his arms, and kept calling his name. The breath he exhaled blended with Ruan Xi's slightly rapid breathing. This familiar warmth almost instantly shocked Ruan Xi's mind and helped him break free from the dream.
Ruan Xi woke up from his dream. The first thing he felt was that his body was even weaker than before. He frowned and slowly opened his eyes, looking into He Ziqian's eyes filled with worry. "Did you have a nightmare?"
Ruan Xi: "..." Nightmare? Yes, it is a nightmare.
"Yeah, I had a nightmare. I dreamed about Xiaoguai. Before meeting us, Xiaoguai was exactly the same as other alien parasites, one in tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, waiting for an opportunity that may never appear, so that he could be truly born..." Those races that do not respect life will eventually perish.
Ruan Xi didn't tell anyone about his other nightmare, because he knew he could never go back in time. Being reborn once was already a miracle, so how could it happen twice in a row? Furthermore, this was a bond that only this world had, and it was his destiny.
"You said it yourself. That was before he met us. Before he met us, he was our son Xiaoguai. The aliens and Xiaoguai are no longer the same race. There is no bond between them. The aliens cannot take our son away." He Ziqian's voice was very gentle, but his attitude was firm. There was even an icy light in his eyes.
That is the fighting spirit against the enemy.
"Well, let's keep going. Xiaoguai is waiting for us. He must be very scared..." How could such a well-behaved and cute child not be scared when he suddenly can't see them?
"Dad...Father...Wow...Wow...Wow..." The two were about to set off again, but Xiaoguai's voice suddenly came from all directions like a devil's sound piercing their ears. Even the walls and the road under their feet were trembling slightly due to the sound waves. But the strange thing was that Ruan Xi and He Ziqian could not feel the aggressiveness in the voice at all, and could only hear Xiaoguai's fear and anger.
"It's Xiaoguai!" Ruan Xi immediately straightened his body and struggled to jump out of He Ziqian's arms. As soon as he landed, he almost fell to the ground because of his weak legs. Fortunately, He Ziqian was quick to support him.
"I heard it too. Xiaoguai is calling us." It would be a miracle if He Ziqian couldn't hear such obvious sound waves. But what he cared about was the damage that Xiaoguai's crying caused to the surrounding environment, and he and Ruan Xi were the only ones missed.
Did Xiaoguai do this intentionally? What exactly is his ability? How strong is it now? Even so, is Xiaoguai still unable to escape on his own?
He Ziqian's brain was working at high speed to analyze the situation, and finally, he came to the conclusion that "there is great danger ahead."
"Xiaoguai is crying! He is scared! He is waiting for us to save him!" Ruan Xi sighed three times in a row, and his pale face flushed slightly with excitement. However, after sighing, he quickly calmed down.
"What exactly is Xiaoguai's ability? Sonic attack? He can actually avoid us alone..." Ruan Xi's tone was full of surprise, or to be more precise, amazement. Inexplicably, a feeling of pride and pride surged in his chest.
Look how powerful his son is, he can already use sonic attacks at such a young age!
Hearing Ruan Xi calling his son "son" over and over again, people who don't know him would wonder how old he is. But the reality is, he is only eighteen years old and has just left the category of underage. How could he have given birth to a son of seven or eight years old?
But Ruan Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and He Ziqian also accepted it with pleasure, so the matter was settled naturally.
Xiaoguai was still crying, crying continuously. The sonic attacks came one after another without stopping. Although he had perfectly avoided his father and his father, the passage was about to collapse. Didn’t he see that there were already rubble falling on his head?
"Hurry up! This place is about to collapse..." His son is so powerful that he can even cause the underground palace to collapse. But Su, son, you have to be careful. They have avoided the sonic attack, but if they are buried in the rubble, they will die anyway!
Ruan Xi complained silently in his heart and silently taught his son a lesson. Then, Xiaoguai's crying stopped abruptly. Not to mention that Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were unable to come back to their senses for a while, even the walls and the ground that had been shaking constantly due to the sound waves were still buzzing and shaking, and they could not react at all.
"Little cutie? Son? Can you hear daddy talking?" Ruan Xi asked tentatively, and then, without waiting for a response, he started chattering without saying anything.
"Son, be good. Daddy has found your location and will come with your father to rescue you soon. Don't cry anymore, or you'll tear the whole underground palace down."
Then it would be completely over.
Ruan Xi didn't know whether Xiaoguai could hear him or understand him. Anyway, he said it first as a sign of respect, and then he would see how Sound Wave reacted.
He Ziqian saw through Ruan Xi's thoughts at a glance, and silently waited for the result from Xiaoguai.
The result was an unexpected surprise. Ruan Xi could actually communicate with Ruan Xi in this way, which really made Ruan Xi overjoyed.
"Clearly, I couldn't sense his presence before. The mental barrier in this underground palace is too strong..." Ruan Xi muttered to himself, but as he analyzed, his eyes suddenly lit up and he continued excitedly, "It's Xiaoguai! He knew we were coming and that we were in trouble, so he came to help us! Our son is awesome!"
Ruan Xi instantly became a brainless blowhard for her son, leaving He Ziqian speechless for a moment. In the end, he could only nod helplessly and follow the trend in praising, "Well, it's all because of your good teaching, Xiaoxi, that our son is so great!"
"Of course! I must be a good father!" Ruan Xi patted his chest proudly, but he didn't control the strength well, and almost made his weak body gasp for breath. He coughed for a long time before he recovered.
"Xiaoguai is in this direction. We should just keep heading northwest!"
But the problem is, they are now in a maze, and how could the maze be a straight path leading to the end?
"The only way here is to go east. How can we continue to go northwest?"
Ruan Xi was stunned by the bend in front of him, and silently looked at He Ziqian, who was not bad at finding directions, and said, "Captain, I'm counting on you!"
He Ziqian: “…”
