Chapter 5 Chapter 5 There is only dry wood burning around...
All that was left around was the sound of dry firewood burning in the fire and the howling cold wind outside the cave. Suddenly, the flames in the fire died out, leaving only the smell of tobacco ash after the firewood was burned out.
There was a blood-red light flashing in Si Qi's eyes. She looked at Si Ruxu, tilted her head slightly, and waited obediently for her next words.
"Yes, I have the ultimate weapon the base is researching, and the data for the massacre in two months."
Si Ruxu moved a little closer to Si Qi. In the darkness, Si Qi could feel Si Ruxu's breath hitting her lips. The temporary loss of vision made her senses infinitely amplified.
"Massive killing?"
Si Qi calmed himself down and it took him a long time to find his voice again.
"Two years into the apocalypse, many things have basically taken shape. The human order collapsed, and a new order was established. Plants, zombies, and animals each formed their own factions. If this is the first step for those who are above our level, then He will precisely begin His second step at this time."
Si Ruxu paused, "None of us know His purpose yet, but based on the base's surveys and the predictions of the clairvoyant, there will be a mass extermination of all living and inanimate objects in two months."
"The secret weapon the base is researching is a video link that can access chaotic magnetic fields."
"From what we know so far, the initial state of the Great Purge is a black hole. Within the black hole are small worlds. Each time, these black holes absorb a number of people. If those people emerge alive, the level of the natural disaster will be determined by the proportion of those who died."
"We don't know the exact proportion or the cost of their total death. The only thing we know for sure is that those black holes contain the power to annihilate the universe."
After saying these words, Si Ruxu took out a bottle of water made of crystal core from the space without any hesitation and drank it. After drinking it, he wiped his mouth elegantly with a tissue.
Then he brought out a stove and put a few coals in it. The surroundings were immediately filled with flames, and the temperature became more than twice as high.
Then, she brought out another bed, a very soft double bed, and put a pillow under herself when she lay down on it. Si Qi silently glanced at the broken salt jar that Si Ruxu usually used to drink water, and the few stones she used to build the fireplace.
"I'm sorry for putting you through this period of time."
Si Ruxu smiled slightly, "With you, I don't feel wronged at all."
Si Qi believed it ten years ago.
Si Ruxu casually handed the half-drunk water to Si Qi. She took it, and the moment she held it in her hand, the outer shell of the crystal core shattered into pieces and the water spilled onto the ground. Si Qi was silent for a moment, then raised her innocent eyes and looked at Si Ruxu with watery eyes.
"It's okay. It's made of a first-level crystal core. The superpower in your body should be because you know there will be a big purge in the future, so you try your best to absorb energy to improve the level of your superpower." Si Ruxu threw a few sixth-level crystal cores to Si Qi as if it was nothing unusual.
The moment the crystal core reached Si Qi, it was dyed blood red and surrounded Si Qi.
"What is the highest level of superpowers now?" Si Qi was a little curious. She was just an ordinary person before and knew nothing about people with superpowers.
"Currently at level seven, there's no way to advance beyond level seven. Therefore, the base speculates that the opportunity to reach a higher level lies in the small world behind the black hole. Perhaps there's a secret to the apocalypse there."
Si Ruxu didn't seem to be too worried. She even had the leisure to give seasonings such as salt and cumin powder to Si Qi and asked her to roast the remaining rabbit meat.
"Toast it a little, add more spice, and maybe make juice from wild fruits?"
After saying this, she blinked and said gently, "Thank you, dear."
Si Qi pursed his lips. It was hard for him to even imagine what Si Ruxu had been through in the twelve years since they had been apart. She had become even more shameless than before.
He felt at ease making a bunch of demands to his ex-wife, who he had cheated on him, in a place where such conditions were actively scarce.
Si Qi took the seasoning and threw herself into the barbecue with full concentration. The flames licked the firewood, making crackling sounds. The rabbit meat gradually turned golden in the light of the fire, and the fat dripped onto the charcoal, sparking a series of tiny flames. She carefully sprinkled cumin and salt on it, and the aroma of the meat instantly spread, whetting the appetite. Then, she found some wild fruits, squeezed out the juice with a slightly rough texture, and evenly sprinkled the bright red juice on the rabbit, which was sweet with the unique sourness of wild fruits. Si Qi's movements were smooth and powerful, and the firelight reflected on her focused face, making people feel homesick for no reason.
Si Ruxu leaned against the head of the bed and looked at her lazily, his eyes never moving away for a moment.
After Si Qi finished grilling, he took the skewers and juice and went over. Si Ruxu took them and ate them in small bites while not forgetting to give Si Qi a small piece.
Si Qi took a small bite of her share. She hadn't eaten barbecue with such rich seasonings for a long time. In the end times, seasonings were also scarce. It was good enough for ordinary people to fill their stomachs, let alone pursue the taste of food.
But it was obvious that she had taken very poor care of Si Ruxu these days, and she became thinner and thinner, so when her vest fell off, she did not hide it at all. She even moved the bed out, and the goose down quilt was thrown into the corner.
The sound of the wind and snow outside gradually subsided, and the sunlight became a little warmer. Si Qi knew that the extreme cold was over. The blood moon did represent the end of a natural disaster, so why was it used as an alternation? What was the meaning behind this?
From a perspective unknown to her, Si Ruxu slowed down her eating. A complex train of thought filled her eyes. The blood moon represented the end. Was there any connection between the blood-red veins on Si Qi's forehead and the blood-red in her eyes when she unleashed her powers?
Si Qi moved to the side of the goose down quilt that Si Ruxu had abandoned, rolled himself up with the quilt, leaned against the corner of the wall and prepared to take a nap to regain his energy. When the extreme cold ended, it would no longer be safe to stay in the cave.
She leaned against the wall and quickly fell asleep. The crystal cores surrounding her gradually lost their luster and crumbled into powder.
She didn't know how long she slept. After knowing that Si Ruxu had a life-saving weapon and realizing that she could be of use to her, she became much less vigilant. This was the first time she slept so deeply.
It was not until the sun shone directly in that she opened her eyes half asleep and half awake. The hay and firewood in front of the cave had been moved away. In front of the cave, Si Ruxu had changed into a brand new set of clothes. The corpse of the mutant wolf at the door was dug out and disappeared on the spot.
Si Qi felt a little envious for no reason. It was great to have the ability to store things in space.
"Come out when you wake up. You don't need the things in the cave. At least you won't go hungry in the base." Si Ruxu smiled gently. Behind her was ice and snow all over the ground, and the sky was filled with the midday sun. She was wearing a light-colored windbreaker, which was the only color in this snowy area.
Si Ruxu put a bracelet on Si Qi's wrist and said, "This is a bracelet that can enter the core area. There was no signal during the extreme cold, but it should be usable now. If we are not together in the future, you can use this to contact me if you encounter any problems."
Si Qi nodded. As soon as he put on the bracelet, it turned on automatically, and then the screen was filled with red.
"S-level wanted order, bounty of 200,000 points!"
She looked at the person on the wanted poster for a while, then looked at Si Ruxu. After confirming that they were 100% similar, she tilted her head and said, "You are wanted by the base."
Si Ruxu pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
When she was chased out, everyone was busy defending themselves and no one knew about it.
She should be considered a traitor who absconded with secrets.
