Chapter 121-120- Beehive
Among Zero, Liana and Firefly, Zero is undoubtedly the backbone and main decision maker. If she refuses to wake up, even if Yvette tells Liana and Firefly the whole cause and effect, she will still have to explain it again to Zero.
Thinking that the official search would most likely not let go of Shalin Town and might already be on the way, Yvette came up with an idea.
She let Liana hold Zero in her arms and reached over.
When Zero opened his eyes alertly and stared at her with murderous eyes, she maintained this posture and began to describe the current situation.
Finally, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I seem to have become the fuse..."
"No, no, no, this isn't your fault, sister!" Liana quickly shook her head. "That 'general' was originally going to work with Black Tower Pharmaceuticals to capture us. You just goaded them into moving their actions from behind the scenes to the front!"
Then she thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this is better, right? Because then they're in the light and we're in the dark."
"Indeed." Firefly echoed.
"So I came here hoping to take you away from here and hide somewhere else. Since they've already mobilized official forces to search for you, they'll find us sooner or later. They might even be on their way here now." Yvette looked at Zero. "Yvette... what do you think?"
Zero sneered, "Why would we leave? Can't we just kill them all?"
"There's the Holy Spirit Sect, the Rusted Bone Government, and even people from the Black Tower might show up." Yvette reminded her to consider the current situation.
"Kill them all."
"Even if you can really kill them all, it will only cause more chain reactions. The army of New Eden will come here, the armed forces of the Black Tower and Lin Tu will come, and the Black Tide Federation may also come..."
"Kill them all!"
“…”
Yvette was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Liana and asked, "Was she really the one who made the decisions when you were escaping?"
Does she really know how to make decisions? Why is she like the reincarnation of the Great Western King, all about killing, killing, killing?
Could it be that the destroyer of the origin civilization was the original owner?
Is the Witch of the End just a latecomer who has taken over the magpie's nest?
"Yeah." Liana said awkwardly, while Firefly beside her said directly: "Yvette was quite normal before, but I noticed that every time you appear, Yvette becomes irritable. She may not like you."
I can see this without you telling me...Yvette glanced at Firefly.
"Firefly, you are too direct..." Liana reminded in a low voice.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Yinghuo also understood and said sincerely, "I just started reading "Emotional Intelligence" recently. I hope you understand that I'm just a puppet..."
"It's okay." Yvette sighed and turned to look at Zero. "Yvette, I don't know why you hate me so much, but given the current situation, we have to leave here."
"Yes, Yvette, by then even the army will come to encircle us. Even if you can kill them all, there is always a limit. You can't go against the whole world." Liana also persuaded.
"If it's for Liana, I can kill everyone in the world." Zero raised his head and gently rubbed Liana's face.
"Don't joke around now." Liana angrily pushed her head away and looked at Yinghuo, "Yinghuo, can you find out our current situation? Have the official forces noticed our location?"
Yinghuo plugged the network cable into her body. The eye camera flashed for a moment and confirmed, "Yes, the police are already heading in this direction. They will be here in half an hour at the latest."
"Don't worry." Zero had a mocking smile on his face. "However many of them come, they will die."
"You...ah." Liana sighed, and suddenly hugged Zero's slender body tightly, holding her horizontally in her arms. Then she turned and said to Yvette, "Sister, let's go with you! I'll move her!"
Yvette looked at her determined face, then looked at Zero, who was held in her arms without any struggle, and nodded hesitantly, "...Okay."
…
In the afternoon, a cool rain fell on the streets of the slums. The road was wet, dirty, and puddles appeared every few meters, reflecting the holographic images and neon lights like colorful mirrors.
Deep in a narrow alley filled with the pungent stench of plastic bags, magic cables, and kitchen waste, after walking along the winding stairs for a while, Yvette appeared in front of an unknown room on the first floor.
"Let's just deal with it here for a while. They can't keep martial law for a long time, and they don't have enough manpower and resources. We just need to hide for a month or two to avoid the limelight." Yvette said to Liana, then took out the antique copper key, inserted it, twisted it, and opened the door.
The pungent smell that hit her face made her subconsciously take a few steps back, and she had to use wind magic to ventilate the place for a while.
This was a property she rented using a fake identity. The area was called "Beehive", a place in the old city of Fosjiang. It was composed of numerous old buildings and illegal structures. It was a typical slum building, but it also had its advantages, that is, it was full of criminals and practitioners of the gray industry. So if the police wanted to come here to investigate, the local residents would be the first to set up many difficulties for them.
"Sister! Let me clean the living room!" After entering the house and turning on the light, Liana immediately rolled up her sleeves.
"I'll clean the master bedroom and the second bedroom." Yinghuo also took the initiative to take on the task.
"Go clean the toilet." Zero said to Yvette.
Perhaps because he didn't like the new environment, there was no smile on Zero's face, but rather undisguised disgust.
"There's another kitchen, are you coming?" Yvette asked.
"That's what you should do."
"So what do you do?"
"Go to sleep." Zero yawned.
“…” Considering that this great god had condescended to sleep here, Yvette decided not to argue with the child.
This first-floor rental house has two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom. Although it has not been maintained for a long time and is full of dust, mildew, grease and insects such as cockroaches, it is still spacious and has a small balcony with anti-theft windows.
Despite having experienced a lot, in reality, less than two weeks had passed since Yvette entered the dream. Based on six months of experience, she should be able to remain in the dream for another five and a half months, long enough to endure until the combined search efforts of the Holy Spirit Cult, Rusted Bone officials, and the military could no longer sustain it and dispersed.
Cleaning the grease in the kitchen took quite a while. Even water magic couldn't wash away the stains, and if we used a little more force, we were worried about damaging the wall. Finally, Liana came over and said very experiencedly, "Sister, these stains will only be removed with a strong detergent. Do you want to buy a bottle?"
Yvette nodded in agreement. Since she was going to stay here for a while, it was necessary to buy some daily necessities. Besides, she could go without meals, but Liana and Zero couldn't not eat either, so she had to buy some more food.
On the way in, she had seen various small shops in the "beehive", which should be able to meet her daily needs even without leaving the area.
After a simple disguise, Yvette and Liana were about to go out, and then they saw Zero, who had just been lying on the sofa, suddenly flash over like a ghost, squeezed in between the two of them, and knocked Yvette away.
"Let's go." She said with a smile and took Liana's arm.
…
There is neither surveillance nor security inside the hive. Walking inside the hive, the sky above is fragmented by the chaotic buildings. The only light comes from the countless neon tubes and light screen advertisements that are intertwined and poured down from the top of the head, reflecting the dense magic cables like a huge network of blood vessels, exuding a depressing atmosphere.
Frowning, they walked through a path that smelled of rotting kitchen waste, and went up a sticky and grimy iron staircase to a cheap little supermarket. Liana went to buy daily necessities, while Yvette, lacking experience in this area, waited at the door to trade with digital currency. Zero was also waiting at the door.
Waiting alone in the corridor, Yvette glanced at Zero, who was lazily standing next to her with a smile that seemed to never fade from his face. She casually asked, "What did you go through before you came here?"
From the older sister's perspective, it is completely logical to ask her younger sister this question. Of course, the real reason is that she wants to figure out why Zero has become the anti-human person he is now, which will also help her understand herself.
Zero glanced at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he never spoke.
This is what I mean by not wanting to talk about it. I can ask Liana later, but Liana seems to have been in a protected position throughout the whole process, so the information may be incomplete... Yvette thought to herself, and then heard Zero suddenly say, "Do you want to know why I want to kill you?"
"Why?" Yvette looked over.
"I won't tell you." A malicious smile appeared on Zero's beautiful little face, which was unparalleled in the world.
Yvette was not angry. This sentence seemed to be just a provocation, but in fact it revealed a clear signal, that is, Zero really wanted to kill her. Considering Zero's style of killing people at will, this must be true.
But why did she want to kill herself? If it was the same reason as for everyone else, then was there any need for her to mention it to herself alone?
Or was it that her murderous intent towards him was based on completely different reasons?
