Chapter 47: The Border Has Arrived
"Ye Xiaocao, have you ever seen snow? Real snow."
That night, he was eating grilled cold noodles when he heard Ye Xiaoxuan's words and was unable to react for a moment.
"Does it count if I've seen it on TV?"
That's right, there is no snow in South City in winter. Although Ye Xiaocao always pretends to be very knowledgeable, in fact, he is just a stitched body that has been kept in captivity by the Wrath Specialist for more than ten years. It is normal that he has never seen snow.
So Ye Xiaoxuan returned:
"Ha, of course not. When you get to the top of the mountain, you'll know what real snow is."
…
Ye Xiaocao: "Ah? What?"
What he got was Ye Xiaoxuan mumbling to herself in a serious tone, holding her chin:
“Neither did I. So… this is the first time we’ve ever seen snow.”
Ye Xiaocao: "... together."
Ye Xiaoxuan nodded: "Yes, together."
Meanwhile:
Nanshi Supernatural Bureau Non-Staff Association (Online users: 42)
[Vegetative Lao Zhang]: Have you heard about the incident at the border? (Fear.jpg.)
By the way, Lao Zhang, what do you usually do? You are well-informed.
[Metal Gundam Wang Tiezhu]: Unfortunately, my ability is limited. Is there anyone in the group who has reached the standard?
[Xiao Chen, a social idler]: I don’t.
[Old Zhang, a vegetative state]: I don’t.
…
Wang Tiezhu nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, and thought to himself: Well, it seems that no one has met the standard. The reason I can’t meet it is not entirely because I’m useless, okay?
Different from the director's concerns about members of the Superpower Bureau disobeying orders.
Except when family conditions do not allow it, most people with superpowers still hope to serve their country. After all, which child has never thought about becoming a superhero?
One after another, “I didn’t” flashed across the screen until…
[New Magical Girl]: I got it.
Wang Tiezhu: As expected, she is the magical girl sister.
But he suddenly thought, eh? Didn't he remember that Gou Dan'er was still with "Cat Lady"?
If Sister Mo wants to go to the border, won't Goudan be taken with her? Thinking about it, it's hard to let him go. He thought so and asked.
[Metal Gundam Wang Tiezhu]: Then, Sister Mo, what about Goudan? Do you want to take him with you?
Ye Xiaoxuan: ...
I thought I would have to think about this problem for a while, but unexpectedly, the little cat girl came online almost at the same time.
[Gorgeous and Stuffy Kitten Girl]: It's okay, Sister Mo, I'm going to the border area too, so I can take you with me. [Cat's Claw. jpg.]
Wang Tiezhu: ...No, forget about the magical girl sister, but his useless ability? How did he meet the standard? Is this standard really okay? I can't accept it for the time being.
I thought I would get an answer like, "I've developed a new use for my superpowers."
Wang Tiezhu was about to start to get jealous, but he only heard the little cat lady say:
"Ah, no. Mainly because I'm a C-class esper. Even if I don't have any special abilities, my physical fitness is good enough to meet the standards."
Wang Tiezhu: …
No, I'm so jealous. I thought we were all losers fighting together, but I didn't expect that he would be the only loser in the end.
…
So just like that, Ye Xiaoxuan came to the border.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
The remaining snow curled up on the wall, mottled by the wind. The wind came from the north and carried a metallic smell.
Ye Xiaoxuan stood on the city wall with her hands folded. The city wall is a product of over a hundred years. It has been renovated several times, but it still performs its mission.
Looking out from the arrow hole, I could only see frozen soil, with a few dry grass sticking out occasionally, but they were soon bent by the sand and stones. The guard flag fluttered behind me, and suddenly it cracked open with a "sizzle", and half of the green cloth lashed the sky like crazy.
Ye Xiaoxuan's ears had long been numb from the cold. Before coming here, she knew it might be cold here, but she didn't expect it to be this cold.
As a Southerner, he had never experienced this.
In order to keep warm, she even sewed a layer of wool on her combat uniform.
This made the already weird combat uniform even weirder.
The combat suit, which had finally become less cheap due to the increase in strength, is now not just cheap, but worse than before.
In such a cold wind, a voice came from her arms: "Hey, why are your hands so cold?"
The camera moved down, and we saw Ye Xiaocao staying in Ye Xiaoxuan's arms, acting as a hand warmer.
The cold wind blew and she shivered.
"I was afraid you would be cold, so I held you."
This is Ye Xiaoxuan’s answer.
Ye Xiaocao: Yes, but it’s not necessary, thank you.
It is worth noting that Ye Xiaohua is also here this time, and as always, he plays his low presence.
After looking for a long time, Ye Xiaoxuan finally had enough of the snow and was ready to go back. She heard from the staff that their leader had also arrived, so it was a good time for her to go back.
When she came into the house, Ye Xiaoxuan brushed the snow off her body, and suddenly her eyes widened.
"Lao Zhou? Why are you here?!"
That’s right, when she came to the office and drank hot tea, the person who appeared before Ye Xiaoxuan’s eyes was her former colleague, the master of ancient Chinese literature, Zhou Mingyuan.
"Oh? How did Comrade Wu (nameless) know about my Xin Zhou? Have we met before?"
Only then did Ye Xiaoxuan realize that she was still a magical girl and could not reveal her identity.
"No... I haven't seen you before. It's just that you look very similar to a former colleague of mine, so I made a mistake."
I can’t let him know about my condition, or he’ll be killed, Ye Xiaoxuan thought.
"Oh? Colleagues? Didn't Comrade Wu live in a contaminated area before? How come he still has colleagues?"
"I recognized it after I got out."
Zhou Mingyuan: ...
Ye Xiaoxuan: ...
"Stop pretending, Lao Ye, I recognize you."
Ye Xiaoxuan:!
"What are you talking about? What is Old Ye? I don't understand."
…
"Okay," Zhou Mingyuan sighed when he saw her like this, and didn't say much, but just recited the poem slowly: "Well, it's really hard to recognize an old friend.
As the saying goes, "Ten years of vicissitudes of life, we both wet our towels after talking. Suddenly I became a lost traveler, pretending to call a stranger. The dust deceived the sick bones, and the soul dreamed of the last spring. The lonely shadow of the returning wild geese, the frost on the collar. "Friends are like this, let alone we are just colleagues, Xiaoye, don't you think so?"
Looking at Zhou Mingyuan's resentful eyes, Ye Xiaoxuan felt guilty.
Okay, it’s confirmed, this is indeed his former leader and colleague, Zhou Mingyuan.
Facing her own mind, she asked, "Ye Xiaocao, come out, why is Lao Zhou here?"
Ye Xiaoxuan didn't understand.
Ye Xiaocao: "Because he is a magical girl."
Ye Xiaoxuan:!
"But isn't he a man?"
"Who says a man can't be a magical girl?"
…
On the other side,
Anonymous group chat within the Borderland Supernatural Bureau: "Has the rift opened again today?"
【Fishing Specialist】:
Who in my family understands! A new dungeon has been opened in B-7 area, and my vacation this month is gone! Ahhh, I have been working for 48 hours straight, when can I take a break?
[Internship newbie trembling]:
@摸鱼专员 stop complaining. I heard that the organization is already transferring people from all over the country, so you can take a break then.
[I am the boss of the cafeteria aunt]: I hope they come soon. Yesterday, an E-level snot beast sneaked into the kitchen and soaked the soup that Lao Chen had been boiling for three days as a hot spring! Now everyone is drinking "Exotic Beast Essence Pot"...yue
【Old Oil Stick No. 1】:
Don't say it, now I think about it...

There is no hope in life.
[Technology House Saves the World]:
By the way, in order to welcome new members, I just made a dungeon guide, what do you think?

[Deputy Director’s Small Account (Exposed)]: Like!
[Slacking Specialist]: That’s awesome!

The border group was filled with joy. At this time, Ye Xiaoxuan also asked about the cause of the incident and prepared to join in.
