Chapter 361 Is This Heaven?
Another member of the tribe died, as there were already only a few survivors. There were more than a hundred people when they were expelled from the underground city. Later, when they decided to go to City 03 to join Li Xiang, there were still thirty-seven people. When they arrived in Yunnan Province, there were only twenty-one people left. Now, there are only twenty left!
The blue carapace of the Ice Claw Soul Devourer glowed with a metallic cold light, and its six spider-like ice crystal limbs pierced into the rock wall. When Kanna swung her bone spear at the compound eye of the leader, the beast's head suddenly split open and its three-petal mouthparts spewed out icy mist. The girl quickly spun around to avoid it, but frost still formed on the ends of her hair.
At the same time, the two strange beasts at the back clamped the waists and abdomens of the two tribesmen with their claws, and the cold poison instantly froze their bodies into purple-blue ice sculptures.
"Damn monster!" Two more tribesmen have been lost, and now there are only eighteen people left!
Kanna Xing's eyes were filled with anger. She rushed forward with all her might and fought hard with the strange beasts. However, the beasts were too strong. The lowest of the three was level six, while she was only level five.
If she were alone, she would definitely escape immediately by burrowing into the ground. But now, her tribe members were right beside her. Should she abandon them and escape by herself, or choose to die together?
Kanna did not hesitate. She would never choose the former! "Run!" Kanna screamed, coughing up blood foam. She tried her best to entangle the three strange beasts, trying to create time and space for the tribesmen to escape.
However, in just a few minutes, she had more than ten new wounds on her body, one of which was fatal. Her thigh was cut by the claws of the monster, and the cold poison entered her body. Fortunately, she was a supernatural being and had a certain ability to resist poison, but her thigh became more and more numb and she lost consciousness.
"Swish~" A strange beast swung its huge claws and grabbed at Kanna. There was no way to avoid it and she could not help but feel despair.
The other two strange beasts pounced on the tribesmen who had just escaped not far away.
We are about to face annihilation!
"Li Sheng, I guess I won't be able to see you again. I hope I can have the chance to be your lover in the next life."
Kanna never expected that after finally arriving in China and with her destination in sight, she would die here.
"Swoosh~"
The air was suddenly torn apart by a sharp sound, and a figure appeared before her eyes like a comet falling to the ground. Kanna was surprised to find that the three beasts had been broken at the neck, and their bodies rolled down into the icy valley.
"You are... Li Sheng?" Kanna looked at the mysterious armored man in front of her with inexplicable surprise. When she relaxed, she could no longer bear the injuries. She felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
Before she lost consciousness, she vaguely felt that Li Sheng had held her in his arms.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Kanna woke up in a temporary shelter. There was a blazing fire and she felt warm. She was wrapped in a thick and soft wool blanket.
"Uh..." Kanna felt something strange and lifted the blanket to take a look. She was naked, but all the injuries on her body had healed and there was not a single scar left.
"Did Li Sheng strip me naked and treat my injuries?" Kanna admired Li Xiang's strength, who could treat injuries without leaving scars, but she couldn't help feeling a little shy. After all, she was stripped naked by her idol and was seen naked by him. I wonder if Li Sheng thinks I have a good figure.
It wasn't that Li Xiang wanted to strip her naked, but she had no underwear on and many of her wounds required her to take off her clothes. The coat was tattered and dirty, and if she tried to cover it up, it would easily cause infection in the wounds.
It’s not that Kanna doesn’t like wearing underwear, one word: “poor!”
However, as a superhuman, he still has a very good figure.
"Are you awake?" Li Xiang walked in.
"Are you Li Sheng, Lord God's Messenger?" Kanna asked with a little excitement.
Li Xiang nodded and said with a smile, "It's me. I'm just lucky. I wanted to come look for you, but I didn't expect to run into you just when I left the house."
In fact, this location is five or six hundred kilometers away from City 03, but for Li Xiang's speed of 80 Mach, it really feels like he just went out and "didn't walk a few steps."
Jiuyou Powangmou discovered that there was a fight here, so he flashed and arrived in an instant at a speed of 80 Mach, saving them.
"Looking for me?" Kanna seemed to remember something and trembled slightly. "Have you seen my email?"
"Yes, you learn Chinese well." Li Xiang praised.
Kanna then realized that Li Xiang was speaking Hindi to him. However, writing in Chinese was also her idea, she wanted to show the results of her hard work in learning Chinese.
Now the trend of "loving Chinese" is sweeping the world, and almost all dungeons have a large number of people learning Chinese. It is said that after learning Chinese, practicing breathing techniques will help you understand more thoroughly. When Li Xiang teaches in the online classroom, not only Li Xiang, but also some other lecturers use Chinese.
Although there are translation software, the sentences and words translated by the software are not as accurate and meaningful as those in Chinese.
"You've grown up, but you still look a bit like a child." Li Xiang glanced at Kanna's exposed shoulders, apologetically, and then took out a set of cold-resistant combat uniforms from the system warehouse and handed them to her. "Kanna, I'm sorry. I had to treat your injuries before, so I had to... offend you. I hope you don't mind."
Kanna: "I...I don't mind." She said to herself, I am actually very honored.
"Your tribesmen are all outside. Come out and eat something later." Li Xiang walked out.
After a while, Kanna came out dressed. Her previous tattered linen clothes and animal skin boots were too worn to wear. She was also dirty from the long journey as she had no change of clothes. Now she put on the combat uniform given by Li Xiang. She looked graceful and heroic.
Even Li Xiang's eyes lit up.
The temporary shelter that Li Xiang dug was naturally larger than the one that Kanna dug. It was located deep underground and had several rooms and small ventilation ducts. Kanna's tribesmen were roasting fire outside and eating beef soup.
"Come, Kanna, this bowl is yours." Li Xiang personally took a large bowl and filled it with tomato and beef brisket soup for Kanna. There were lots of large chunks of beef brisket in it, and a thick layer of fat floated on the surface of the red broth. Kanna couldn't help swallowing her saliva just by looking at it.
"Thank you, Lord Messenger of God." Kanna took it but did not eat it immediately, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Don’t be so distant in the future. Just call me Brother Xiang or Boss.” Li Xiang said.
"Thank you, boss." Kanna still chose the title of "boss" because she felt unworthy of being called "Brother Xiang". It would make her feel like she was dreaming and unreal.
Kanna ate three bowls in a row before she felt a little full. She had consumed a lot of physical and spiritual energy along the way, and now after three bowls of beef brisket soup, she felt better than ever.
For other people, Li Xiang asked them to eat less first and eat again after a few hours, because ordinary people would have problems if they were hungry for a long time and then suddenly overeat. But Kanna was a transcendent, so she didn't have to worry about that.
In fact, Kanna's spiritual power helped digestion, so she was only about 70% full.
Kanna had slept for about seven or eight hours, and her tribesmen had eaten two or three meals. Everyone received warm clothes distributed by Li Xiang.
There was laughter and joy in the shelter. Several people were sick with fever, and Li Xiang also gave them medication, and some external injuries were naturally no problem.
Li Xiang's warehouse in the other dimension was extremely rich in supplies, with everything he needed, even clothes for the baby, which made the child's mother quite surprised and grateful.
It is said that this baby is very lucky. He has made it all the way and is still alive, but he is very thin and just skin and bones.
Li Xiang chatted with Kanna and asked her if she would like to join the "Earth Vein Channel" team.
Kanna was naturally very excited and agreed immediately.
Afterwards, Li Xiang took them on the road. With his cultivation level of level 27, he used the earth escape technique to carry Kanna and her group easily and quickly, and they arrived at City 03 in just a few minutes.
When Li Xiang went out, he almost never went through the main gate. He always went in and out through underground tunnels, without having to open the gate. The same went for others when he took them with him.
In fact, there is a complete set of procedures for normal entry into the city, especially the disinfection step is essential.
At each entrance and exit of the underground city, there is a disinfection square and several curved glass disinfection passages. Nano disinfection spray will emerge, some of which will have the refreshing scent of lemon or grass.
But when Li Xiang brought people in and used spiritual power to drive them to burrow underground, he had already used spiritual power to vibrate and disinfect them to ensure that no viruses or pathogens would be brought in, so this step could be skipped.
The moment they passed the last rock wall, the "dazzling" warm white light made everyone instinctively raise their arms - after months of trekking in the dark, they almost forgot the texture of sunlight.
After finally getting used to the bright light of this underground city, Kanna and her tribesmen were shocked, as if they had fallen into a surreal science fiction world.
This is an extremely clean, tidy, magnificent, and sci-fi underground city. Kanna and her people are like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything here is extremely new to them. They look around and feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Xiang took them to a rest corner in the city hall, where there were rows of chairs. He asked them to wait there for a while or walk around the nearby streets, but not to go far. Then he went to find Jiang Caier.
Kanna and her tribesmen did not sit down, but walked around, continuing to look curiously at the streets outside through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
A few brave girls, one of whom was Kanna's cousin, walked out after asking Kanna for permission, while the others remained in the town hall.
Kanna warned them not to go beyond 500 meters to avoid getting lost and not being able to find anyone.
"I know, sister." Kanna's cousin is called Tanya. She has very thick lips and is darker than Kanna. However, she is not as pretty as Kanna, and her figure is naturally not as good as Kanna's. But when she smiles, she has a mouthful of bright white teeth.
Tanya ran outside excitedly with a few friends. The mother holding the child took a look and followed them out. Later, a few more people couldn't resist their curiosity and ran out.
They were all very sensible and didn't dare to go far, but just visited nearby. Everything was so new and technological.
The dome on the main road projected a virtual starry sky, and the flowing Milky Way and the neon lights on the ground complemented each other. In the glass-walled shop, a holographic model was displaying jewelry embedded with psychic crystals. When Tanya approached, the model suddenly blinked and smiled: "Do you need help trying it on virtually?"
The girl was so frightened that she fell down on the glowing tiles.
On the holographic advertising screens on both sides of the street, Jiang Caier's virtual image is explaining the latest psychic armor, and data streams stretch out beside her like phoenix wings.
Not far away, a six-legged robot dog patrol passed by, its metal shell emitting faint blue energy patterns.
Tanya and the others looked at the robot dog curiously.
The robot dogs suddenly stopped, and one of them turned to the mother holding the baby. Its mechanical claws ejected a thermos bottle: "A breastfeeding woman has been detected. The mother-infant care plan for City 03 has been initiated."
When the warm goat milk was stuffed into her hands, the mother knelt down tremblingly to kiss the robot dog's sensor, but was gently lifted up by the robotic arm: "According to Article 19 of the Dawn Outline, the dignity of citizens is sacred and inviolable."
Kanna's uncle had to pee urgently, so he saw a public toilet in the park on the corner and walked over.
When the crystal door of the public restroom slid open automatically, Kanna's uncle thought he had entered a palace by mistake - the mirrored dome reflected soft light, the air was filled with the scent of cedar, and each cubicle was equipped with a fully automatic cleaning system.
When he found that the temperature-sensing pad on the edge of the toilet bowl automatically raised the seat, this man, who once shared a dry toilet with thousands of people in the slums, actually sat on the smart toilet and covered his face and cried.
All men are like this, let alone women.
The mother holding the baby stayed in the toilet for a long time and was reluctant to leave. Especially since there was a baby room next to the toilet.
She felt that this was not a toilet at all, but a super luxurious mansion. She had never seen such a heavenly toilet before.
They entered a commercial street, and the neon signs suddenly turned into fireflies. A holographic nine-tailed fox jumped out of the ramen restaurant sign, holding a ribbon of light and weaving the words "Mid-Autumn Festival Special" above their heads.
When Kanna's brother was staring at the molecular cuisine display cabinet in the dessert shop - the suspended caramel pudding was decomposing and reorganizing into the form of a phoenix - his trouser leg was suddenly gently pulled by a cleaning robot. It turned out that the ice cream that had dripped while he was staring had been decomposed into nothing by the nano bee swarm.
"Is this really the end of the world?" Kanna's elderly sister-in-law, who looked 35 years old but looked like she was 50 or 60, touched the warm imitation wood bench in the community center, and the floating holographic menu immediately popped up a health package for the elderly.
When the AI voice asked in Hindi whether she wanted to contact volunteers, she suddenly held Kanna's hand tightly and said, "Sister, are we at Shiva's Mount Sumeru?"
The holographic news column on the corner of the street was playing a video of Jiang Caier being interviewed. When Li Xiang's image flashed by, Kanna's people all knelt and kowtowed until the patrolling bionic robot police gently lifted them up with their energy field: "Citizens, any form of kneeling ceremony is prohibited in City 03."
They didn't play for long before Li Xiang came back, followed by several staff members. They helped Kanna and the others to apply for identity chips and assigned them to an apartment building. The girls lived in a room with five people, couples had family rooms, and the men lived in a room with six people.
In addition, each person will receive a resettlement fee of 100 heat coins.
"Tomorrow, we will have staff come to take you to choose a job."
Kanna's people were so excited that they could not express in words that they could actually arrange jobs for them and choose their own.
We had dinner in the public canteen downstairs in the apartment building. It was very sumptuous and cost only a little over one yuan per person, which was very good value for money.
When "twilight" falls, the community AI automatically adjusts the wavelength of ambient light based on everyone's biological data.
Kanna lay on the heated bed in the allocated apartment, looking through the panoramic window at the children playing outside - those clean, agile and lively figures overlapped and separated from the slum children in her memory who were fighting for food in the feces.
When the cleaning robot knocked on the door gently with honey and milk, this earth-type extraordinary being who had once torn alien beasts apart with his bare hands finally curled up and cried like a lost child.
