Chapter 95 Return to the branch of Shencheng Wuwei
The journey back was easier than the journey here.
They didn't encounter any crises along the way. Even if there were any, they had already been encountered by Li Ming and Jiang Huai before. Li Ming felt that he was unexpectedly powerful now.
Is this the joy of retracing the path we came from?
Li Ming held the steering wheel with both hands and hummed a song in a relaxed manner. Li Yixi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, yawned sleepily after hearing this.
She asked, "Brother, do you want me to drive?"
"No!" Li Ming shook his head quickly after hearing this, "Let me enjoy the joy of driving a sports car. Sister, you can't take away the joy of a man driving a sports car!"
Li Yixi was speechless: "..."
"I think we should drive a car that is more suitable for long-distance travel." Li Yixi, who has no passion for cars, crossed his hands in front of his chest and said coldly:
"Brother, were you being too polite in front of others?"
"No, I've always been like this."
Li Ming turned his head and denied it seriously. He turned a switch and the convertible sports car they were sitting in immediately retracted its hood.
The strong wind blew Li Yixi's hair into a mess.
Li Ming, who was in the driver's seat, asked with bright eyes: "How is it? Very happy, right?"
Li Yixi said in a cold tone: "...Hehe."
"We'll change cars in the next city! Don't worry, sister! Your brother won't throw you out!" Li Ming said excitedly, dancing with his hands and feet. "I've never experienced such happiness in my life!"
“This is the real-life bumper car!”
But then again... when Li Ming finally finished driving this section of road, he suddenly thought: Even if he really hit a wall, he would be the only one in trouble.
"I'm such an incompetent brother..." Li Ming suddenly said disappointedly.
He was definitely overwhelmed by the double joy of the sports car and returning home. When he left with Jiang Huai earlier, Li Ming did want to try out those beautiful, majestic, and cool-looking sports cars, but...
He felt that Jiang Huai would not agree.
"Actually, I don't agree either..." Li Yixi interrupted in a quiet tone, "but my brother seemed to like it, so I suggested that we give it a try."
Oh, an old fashioned and a little old fashioned.
After hearing this, Li Ming said in a heavy tone: "You should try more in life. Sister, you may not be able to experience the joy of racing on the highway..."
“But you didn’t even give me the chance to experience it.” Li Yixi commented sharply.
"Who told you that you didn't even hit the car in front of you?" Li Ming looked back at Li Yixi with some dissatisfaction and said, "Do you think I'm right? That summer graduation trip, Li Yixi was so busy that she didn't even want to go home?"
"Hmph." Li Yixi snorted coldly.
The brother and sister finally calmed down.
While refueling the new car, Li Ming asked casually, "Speaking of which, sister, did you encounter anything when you left the Wall of Silence?"
He was frightened by Li Yixi's expression at that time.
"I think I encountered something bad, but I can't remember the details." Li Yixi, who was sitting on the steps nearby, said frankly, "But don't worry about it."
"Um?"
"Because my brother is waiting for me across the street, I don't think I have anything to be afraid of."
"sister……"
Li Ming was unexpectedly moved.
"Brother, how come you came out faster than me?" Li Yixi asked in a subtle tone. She stared at her brother stubbornly, with a look that said, "I don't know the reason, and I will never give up."
"Is it a blow to you?" Li Ming asked in surprise.
"Super hit."
"Well, that's why I'm your brother~" Li Ming said with his hands on his hips complacently, but then he changed his mind and said in a distressed tone: "But I don't know what I encountered."
"Um?"
“It feels like I was sent back to my hometown.”
"Then our hometown is quite different." Li Yixi said in a depressed tone. She suddenly asked in disbelief after thinking of something:
"Brother, our biological parents wouldn't favor boys over girls, right?"
"Forehead……"
This question immediately silenced Li Ming. He recalled the information he knew, frowned and muttered, "It shouldn't be..."
At least Li Yixi's parents do not favor boys over girls.
But the last comic barrage only said that Xiao's father would prepare a house in the fourth ring of the capital for his son, but did not directly say what dowry he would prepare for his daughter...
Li Ming was a little curious about this.
While Li Ming was still brainstorming, Li Yixi suddenly asked, "Brother, how is the wound on your hand healing?"
Li Ming subconsciously raised his arm.
He looked at the wound on his hand that was almost scarring off and said slowly, "It's almost healed. Fortunately, it's not very deep and didn't leave a deep mark."
"Hmm..." Li Yixi nodded absentmindedly.
After a long while, she sighed and said, "I still feel it's a pity..."
"ah?"
"It feels like it's my fault if the scar doesn't go away."
"How could that be?" Li Ming was surprised. He wanted to casually say "scars are proof of being a man", but suddenly remembered: Zhou Haoyu had said this to him.
He was very angry after hearing this, and even felt that the dormitory head was deliberately being perfunctory with him.
"Time flies so fast." Li Ming suddenly sighed.
At the beginning, the four of them chose to leave Lingcheng, and now only he and his sister have returned. I don't know how the remaining two are doing now...
When Li Ming passed the cross-sea bridge again, he did not see the giant whale when he left. But surprisingly, the density of the fog was much lower than expected.
The two could vaguely see the gray sky.
It all seemed as if this was just another gloomy day in Shanghai that they were accustomed to.
Li Ming chose to park the car on the outskirts of Shencheng.
Considering the unknown situation inside Shencheng and the existence of the unknown S-level disaster area 'Mermaid Reef', the two siblings of the Li family still prefer to walk.
"There's an S-level disaster in Shencheng?" Li Yixi was eager to try.
After hearing this, Li Ming immediately patted her head and said seriously, "Don't let your imagination run wild, and don't try it rashly. Previously, it was because the Blood Queen's domain did not target you, but the current situation is unknown."
"Of course I do."
Li Yixi said in a dissatisfied tone, "I'm just curious about what kind of person she is. It doesn't mean I want to fight with her. Brother, don't you have any curiosity at all?"
"Of course I do, I do..."
Li Ming, who spoke quickly, had to put on an awkward but polite smile, despite his sister's expression of success. He coughed lightly and emphasized again seriously:
"Never think too highly of the other person."
The Lost One, the S-level disaster... The combination of these two identities always gave Li Ming a bad feeling. Especially when Li Ming recalled the side description of the Siren Banshee by the 'Eye of Truth', he became even more alert.
The two walked on the streets of Shencheng.
Although the current fog density is much lower than expected, it still makes the streets very lonely. Li Ming thought it was normal. When he and Jiang Huai left, Shencheng was almost empty.
It is indeed evolving into an empty city now.
Li Ming did not even see the fat uncle's body in the gas station very close to the cross-sea bridge. The body sank into the abyss just as the "Eye of Truth" had suggested.
There is some sadness, but more of blessings.
Li Ming suddenly raised his hand to signal his sister to stop. He carefully hid in a store on the commercial street, looking solemnly at the empty intersection at the end of the commercial street.
"Brother?" Li Yixi was surprised.
She leaned her head out to look at the intersection they were supposed to pass, but she didn't see anything special nearby. But since her brother chose to hide, there must be a reason.
Li Yixi trusts her brother unconditionally.
"Li Yixi, did you see it?" Li Ming asked his sister in a low voice.
What do you see?
Li Ming pointed his finger at the location of the red street light that had lost power, and said carefully, "Over there. It's right there. Do you notice anything that looks like the product of high temperature distorting the air?"
“I think it would be easier to understand if I said it was a chameleon.”
Li Ming muttered to himself.
So Li Yixi turned her head and looked into the distance. As expected, she found that something was wrong, but not through her brother's method. The first thing she noticed was the air wave.
On this windless and sunless day, only the leaves at the crossroads were blown.
[Derivative: Transparent Crab]
[Field: Mermaid Reef]
[Disaster sequence: B-79 lightness, C-212 transparency, D-96 self-healing, F122-visual impairment]
[Note: An amphibian that walks on the sea and land, responsible for clearing all disasters or humans that are not from the same field within the patrol range.]
[They move silently, and their figures cannot be seen directly. Prey will often only notice their presence after they step into their patrol area.]
[However, due to their huge size, Cancers usually only stay outdoors. ]
[PS: If you don’t want to meet them, try to avoid outdoor environments where they appear. But if you have been discovered, please remember: crabs have poor eyesight. ]
A trace of solemnity flashed across Li Yixi's eyes.
Silent and transparent guys. Li Yixi thought: This is indeed beyond her expectations. If her brother hadn't discovered it in advance, she would have walked into the opponent's attack range without noticing.
"It seems that he is a difficult domain master."
Li Ming suddenly said to himself. He did not look back, but cautiously led his sister to the shop. If he remembered correctly, the second underground floor of this commercial street was the entrance to the subway station.
They can leave here via underground routes.
"Brother, can you count how many there are?" Li Yixi asked.
"About four or five," Li Ming replied calmly, "but crabs usually move in groups. We should try to avoid them for now."
"Crab?"
"Yes, it's a crab." Li Ming turned his head to look at his sister and said seriously, "The Eye of Truth gave me a hint. I can now almost see the outline of their bodies."
Li Yixi was stunned after hearing this.
Then she laughed and apologized, "It seems that I underestimated the 'Eyes of Truth' before. I'm sorry, brother."
Li Ming shrugged indifferently.
But soon his expression became serious: "Li Yixi, I'm sorry too. It seems that there will be a difficult battle in the future."
"Um?"
So Li Ming said frankly: "She has a strong desire to rebuild civilization."
[Disaster Area: Mermaid Reef]
【Features: Owner, open】
[Note: When disaster struck their planet, the sea was dyed bright red. Their race used to spurn the branch without a fish tail, but in the end——]
[The one who survives to the end and can revive civilization is a branch without a tail. 】
【The ocean is no longer our home.】
[The abandoned branches built their new home on land, but this was not enough, far from enough...]
【Reconstruct civilization cognition and rebuild civilization order. 】
[Her ideals are so grand, her goals are so lofty, when she breaks free from the shackles of the abyss, a new civilization belonging to the Siren will be born.]
