The night before the large-scale invasion that Zhu Ye said.
It rained rarely today. Li Huixi still remembers that when she first arrived here, the air was dry and mixed with rough yellow sand.
There was no sandstorm today. Instead, it rained cleanly. There was not even a trace of sand in the rain.
According to Xue Xiao, it has never rained since the fall of the outside world. They have lived in this dark life for many years, and the sky is exactly the same every day.
Water can be dug from wells, but for some reason, it seems that only the Linjiang City area has no rain, while groundwater is endless.
For those in the shelter, the rain came just in time and was like a reunion with an old friend. But Li Huixi knew that once the rain stopped, it would prove that something had invaded this stronghold.
The sound of raindrops hitting the ground and glass windows was regular and hypnotic. Many people slept very comfortably on this day. It rained heavily all day and night outside the window, but only Li Huixi had no intention of sleeping in this world filled with the sound of rain. .
Is it because they know that the people in these strongholds are about to face separation and death? no. Li Huixi didn't have the mind to think about other people's affairs, and she couldn't interfere in other people's fates. She was just thinking about Chen Chichi, about her life, and what Zhu Ye was.
Just after midnight, the sound of rain stopped suddenly, and the patrol teams took turns. It was probably affected by the sound of rain. The teams on duty today were relatively lax, and everyone yawned frequently.
Lin Qing has been lying next to Li Huixi. After all, like Li Huixi, he does not belong to this world, so what happens here does not matter to him.
Lin Qing's snoring was not loud, just a little louder than ordinary breathing, and would not affect people's normal activities. But Li Huixi looked at the face of the instigator and saw that he was sleeping so soundly. The urge to wake him up with a slap.
Li Huixi could actually guess that this heavy rain was caused by that group of strange bodies to show these humans. They had blocked the weather here for several years, maybe they were waiting for this moment. But at the same time, she also understood that she was not a savior. The only thing she had to do was to take back what the leader of the conspiracy had stolen and return it to Zhu Ye.
Tonight will be the most peaceful night for people here. If you want to get such a solid sleep after that, you may have to die.
Li Huixi thought about many possibilities. The army of treacherous bodies and larvae overwhelmed the situation and forced the last surviving humans to death. Or, they continued to satisfy their murderous nature and pretended to cause panic again and again in the crowd.
No matter what the situation was, it could actually be dealt with, but Xue Xiao came to find her at dawn.
This time, Xue Xiao no longer had the serious and melancholy feeling before. His face was full of joking and successful smiles. After only exchanging glances once, Li Huixi felt that something was wrong.
The next second, Xue Xiao stretched out a fist, which seemed to hold something.
Not knowing what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his gourd, Li Huixi carefully opened his palm, and what he held in his palm was a human eyeball.
The brown-yellow pupils and the red bloodshot eyes left a deep impression on Li Huixi. She briefly recalled that the owner of these eyes was Xue Xiao herself, wasn't it?
Xue Xiao in front of me has become a strange body!
The other party knew that he didn't need to explain too much. The girl in front of him was a smart person, and Xue Xiao was here just for her.
Xue Xiao pulled Li Huixi aside and said secretly:
"I know Zhu Ye asked you to get rid of me. I can give it to you at any time if you have no place to rest, but you don't want to interfere in what I do."
"Nowhere to rest?"
"Didn't Zhu Ye introduce it to you? It's her treasure that can freely travel through branch worlds."
Only then did Li Huixi realize that this "nowhere to rest" was what Zhu Ye wanted to get back. However, what Zhu Ye said was not specific enough. She did not explain whether she wanted to kill the current leader of the mysterious body.
After listening to Xue Xiao's words, Li Huixi looked at the other party with a joking expression and said jokingly:
"You two still have power disputes?"
Xue Xiao's expression became obviously ugly, and he was a little confused. He didn't answer Li Huixi's question, and just nodded lightly.
But Li Huixi immediately realized a problem, and her heart immediately rang:
"How did he know so much information?"
"Is it possible that he still has an eyeliner here..."
"But there is only Lin Qing beside Zhu Ye."
"It's not impossible for him..."
"Wait a minute, where has the fox been these days?"
"Yeah... I haven't seen her show up for a while."
"She has been missing for a few days, and you just discovered it now?"
"She came and went without a trace...I didn't take it to heart..."
Xue Xiao, the weird body, saw Li Huixi standing aside and probably guessed who she was thinking about. He spread his hands and said indifferently:
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. These are all what the strange figure with the fox mask next to you told me."
"Fox? Where is she?"
"She... is probably having fun outside the city right now."
"Outside the city? Playing? What are you talking about."
"Don't you know yet? Compared with you humans, we like things purer and work more concentratedly. We are not without wisdom. This is just a hunting ground under our civilization."
"You! Civilized?"
"Although I don't know what the monsters in your world are like, the monsters here are not inferior to humans at all. Besides, isn't the boss here also a monster? You are not ignorant."
The complexity and vastness of this world indeed exceeded Li Huixi's expectations. What kind of refuge? The humans in this stronghold are more like animals imprisoned in an artificial forest. What kind of society, inheritance, family affection, and love are all in this group of strange people. In the eyes of the body, it is just part of the amusement. In the eyes of humans, what is the difference between the murderousness of the body and the eyes of real prey?
And she was only chosen by Zhu Ye because of her special characteristics. Li Huixi even suspected that the so-called two forces might be as simple as a conflict between Zhu Ye, the boss, and his customers.
After arriving in this world, I discovered that the conditions for leaving the branch world after filing a case and solving the case were like a joke. As long as Zhu Ye waved his hand, the cause of death of the patrol captain who died tragically in the beginning would be announced immediately.
But the next branch world is unknown, and who knows which ghost place they will be transported to. Only Zhu Ye can ensure that they can return to reality, and what he has to do is to complete the task assigned by Zhu Ye.
Thinking of this, there is no need to hesitate. Just destroy one of the legs of the mysterious body Xue Xiao and bring him back to Zhu Ye for business. She should be able to handle the rest of the matter by herself.
Just do it, Li Huixi directly pulled out the silver wooden knife, and a strong murderous aura rose from her back. No matter how hard Xue Xiao pretended to be, he could still feel the strong threat from Li Huixi's eyes.
"No, no, no, don't do anything. If I die, you will never have anywhere to rest."
Li Huixi smiled half-heartedly and muttered:
"I don't intend to kill you either."
The target was Xue Xiao's right leg. Li Huixi's attack was so fast that she had no time to dodge.
It's just that Li Huixi didn't wait for the sponge-like feeling of penetration. Instead, she felt the wooden knife being blocked.
Li Huixi opened his eyes with some dissatisfaction. Under the wooden knife was Xue Xiao's leg, and on his leg, it was Lin Qing's hand that caught Li Huixi's knife.
