Red Moon World, ZJ District Underground City, in a room that is not spacious.
Steam rose from the kettle on the stove, and the slightly deformed lid was opened to reveal slightly turbid boiling water.
The quantity is not much, only less than half a pot.
Xu Xiaoxiao sighed lightly, covered the air inlet, and lifted the kettle from the stove.
"Shuihan, get up and drink some medicine."
Hot water was poured into the fist-sized porcelain cup, dissolving all the green-white powder inside.
A smell similar to durian overflowed and filled the entire room unconsciously.
"This medicine should not be wasted on me..."
There was a weak voice from the corner of the room. The man lying on the bed opened his eyes and stared at the low ceiling with a dejected face.
"What are you saying? The value of medicines lies in their treatment. If everyone saves them and doesn't use them, then what's the point of collecting and manufacturing these medicines?"
As she spoke, the porcelain cup in the woman's hand was brought close to the man's face.
The strong smell of durian made Ye Shuihan frown and couldn't help but cough a few times.
After a short moment of silence, a helpless smile appeared on the man's face, and he spoke with a sense of joy in the bitterness.
"I really can't understand why you can't smell the smell of this medicine..."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm not God's favorite..." The woman rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand to support Ye Shuihan's back, and helped him sit up from the bed.
"Oh, it's not the Thirteen Apostles either..."
With a self-deprecating smile, Ye Shuihan took the cup from Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and brought it to his mouth.
The smell that was almost solidified made his brows furrowed, and the strong nausea made his stomach juices churn.
"Drink and have a good rest after drinking."
Xu Xiaoxiao did not take over Ye Shuihan's words, but just gave a soft persuasion.
But after seeing the pain on the other person's face, he turned his head away unbearably.
The sound of swallowing the medicine was heard. Ye Shuihan wiped the corner of his mouth and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Five or six hours, I didn't check the specific time. What's wrong?"
Taking the porcelain cup from the man, Xu Xiaoxiao asked casually.
After all, it was already night, and for the remaining humans, there was no other better option than huddled in the underground city.
Want to hang out in the wild? Unless you think your life is too long.
"It's okay, just asking by the way."
Ye Shuihan's face was not pretty, but it was still a little brighter than before.
"Please lie down for a while. I just ordered the door at the entrance of No. NB to be locked. You won't have any missions before dawn." Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with distress, and she wanted to let the man lie down again.
"I've been lying down for too long, please sit down for a while..."
The man shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and put the pillow on the bed.
However, just when he was about to say something, a rhythmic knock on the door suddenly came from outside, accompanied by the visitor announcing his door.
"Xiao Xiao, I am Bai Donggu."
The door creaked open, and Bai Donggu was not alone.
173, with messy hair, followed closely behind, stretching his neck and looking at the surrounding environment curiously.
"How is Xiaoye? Do you feel better?"
Bai Donggu casually pulled up a chair and motioned for 173 to sit down. At the same time, he asked Ye Shuihan on the bed. "I just took the medicine and am feeling much better."
"As I said before, be sure to control your emotions and don't let Andre take advantage of it. Although it won't cause any trouble, it will put a lot of burden on your body if it happens again and again."
Bai Donggu spoke earnestly and sincerely.
"Don't worry, Uncle Bai. It's already dark now. I will take care of Shui Han and have a good rest."
Xu Xiaoxiao on the side interjected, as if to make Bai Donggu feel at ease.
However, there was hesitation on the other party's face, obviously he had something to say.
Xu Xiaoxiao had a carefree personality and did not notice that Uncle Bai looked strange. However, Ye Shuihan on the bed was thoughtful and spoke out.
"General Bai came to Xiao Xiao for something important, right? Just say it, I don't care."
"Huh? Uncle Bai has something to do with me?"
A question mark appeared on Xu Xiaoxiao's head. He looked at Bai Donggu and then at 173 who was looking around.
"Xiaoye is right. You may not be able to take care of him for the time being. There is an important task for you."
"Important mission? What important mission?"
Although Xu Xiaoxiao felt a little regretful that he could not take care of Ye Shuihan, but after all, the task was more important.
The impact of the destruction of the 22nd Corps was by no means small, so she could understand Bai Donggu's actions.
"I need you to go to Kyoto and be with this World Breaker from Timeline 173."
"Going to Kyoto? But Uncle Bai, it's already dark now, and the distance is so far, I'm afraid..."
Hearing the destination from Bai Donggu's mouth, Xu Xiaoxiao's originally strong self-confidence became a little weakened.
You must know that Kyoto is 500 kilometers away from her location in a straight line, not to mention having to cross various terrains and obstacles.
And the most important thing is that it is already night. Calculating the time, the temperature outside has probably dropped below zero.
Traveling in such an environment will not take much time.
Not to mention that you will be attacked by zombies or mutated creatures along the way, and you may lose your life almost at any time.
"You're worried about the long distance and the temperature outside, right?"
Faced with Xu Xiaoxiao's hesitation, Bai Donggu did not show any dissatisfaction and just continued.
"You are not leaving from outside."
"Don't leave from outside? How can we get there?" Xu Xiaoxiao froze on the spot.
"Subway."
"Subway?"
This time, not only Xu Xiaoxiao raised questions, but 173, who was looking around, also cast doubtful glances.
What's going on? Is it still possible to take the subway under these conditions?
"Yes, it was originally used as an emergency escape, but now it seems that it needs to be used in advance."
Bai Donggu nodded calmly, as if he had anticipated the two people's reactions.
After being surprised for a long time, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to have just reacted, blinked and asked.
“Where is the entrance to the subway and why have I never seen it?”
"I'll take you there soon." Bai Donggu's eyes showed a smile, "But before that, you have to bring Da Cai and Xiao Cai out."
Hearing Bai Donggu mention Da Cai and Xiao Cai, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to be thinking of the destroyed 22nd Corps, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.
After thinking for a while, the woman said worriedly.
"Without Gu Changfeng's bone whistle, once Dacai and Xiaocai are released, it will be difficult to come back." I thought Bai Donggu would reconsider the specific steps of the plan, but the man just shook his head.
"If you can't come back, you can't come back. When your mission is completed, let them go."
"This..." The woman's almond-shaped eyes widened, staring at Bai Donggu's face in disbelief.
For a moment, she seemed to read a hint of relief from Uncle Bai's expression.
Although she had many questions in her mind, it was precisely because there were so many that the woman didn't know where to start.
After a pause, she finally nodded, "Okay, what is the specific mission?"
This time, Bai Donggu finally showed a smile of complete relief on his face, as if he was a child whose wish had finally come true.
"Let's talk on the way. Time is tight. You go and bring Da Cai and Xiao Cai first..."
…
On the other end, in the center of nb city, underground in the ruined community.
In the underground parking lot filled with spore dust, the fungus blanket attached to the wall exudes weak fluorescence, making the space look like another world.
Any wilderness hunter with some experience will understand what happened when they see the current scene.
???????????????This piece of fungus is about to wither, just because it has completed the cycle of life.
The patter of footsteps came from the depths, and then, a pair of golden vertical pupils appeared in the darkness.
He is the end of the cycle of life and the source of the withering of the fungus.
"I really didn't expect that I would be reborn in a place like this. The clones are really thoughtful..."
Stepping barefoot on the ground paved with fungi, the owner of the Golden Eyes walked slowly forward, elegantly and leisurely, as if walking in his own back garden.
The fluorescence on the wall was weak, but it still reflected the person's face.
The corners of the golden pupils are raised up, and they are as sharp as the tip of the nose. The eyebrows are not thick, but combined with the face, it will make people subconsciously feel that they are not easy to mess with.
The curve of the corners of his mouth added to this person's evil aura. His black hair fell down from his shoulders like a waterfall, covering most of his body.
After wandering around for a while, he seemed to remember that he had something important to do. The man paused and walked straight towards the exit.
At this moment, the temperature outside the basement was already below zero, and the flying snowflakes were as big as goose feathers, mixed with the howling cold wind, as if they would never stop.
Rubbles rolled down from the ruins, and the naked man was bathed in the bloody moonlight, as if he could not feel the cold around him at all.
"It's so good to be alive..."
Taking a deep breath and feeling the rising temperature in his chest, the man's smile became even brighter and he opened his arms as if stretching.
Also unfolding along with it are the amazing pairs of wings behind it!
Underneath the thin flesh membrane are precisely distributed bones. At a glance, they look very similar to the wings of a bat.
However, there is no black down on the wings on the man's back, and the overall look is much better than the wings of a bat.
However, just as the man was enjoying the joy of resurrection, a low call suddenly came from a shadow not far away from him.
"Uncle Lu Yu...is that you?"
The stretching movement suddenly stopped, and the wings on his back quickly folded. The man turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
What he could see was a half-collapsed concrete wall. Although it was not illuminated by the moonlight, it was still possible to vaguely see something hiding in the shadows.
In the man's memory, there is only one person who can use the title 'Uncle Lu Yu'...
