Bai Yujun watched everything settle.
The Sun Also Rises.
When the first ray of dawn illuminated the glass curtain wall of the building, Zhenbei stepped on a mountain of corpses and returned to its sheath with a sharp knife in a sea of blood.
He showed his face, took off his helmet, and watched silently as the long yellow dust disappeared.
It's all over, we won. Many times, victory is not always full of joy, but also sadness. Too many people have sacrificed their all for this victory. In the eyes of people who are far away from the war, they are just numbers and cannot be speculated. The topic of ending is hell for those who have experienced it personally.
Maybe it won’t be long before demon lovers will appear, dressing up as demons to experience a different kind of excitement, with no regard for the feelings of the victims’ families.
Of course, Zhenbei had already gone out by that time, so out of sight was out of mind.
He took off his armor, found a burst water pipe to collect water, washed his hair and face, rummaged through the ruins for some food, and brought some for Bai Bai.
Riverside, pedestrian walkway.
Bai Yujun sat on a bench with her arms and knees folded, waiting for the sunrise.
Zhenbei sat at the other end of the bench, holding a biscuit in his mouth, and handed the plastic bag in his hand to Moubai.
"The breakfast I picked up has not passed the expiration date, but it tastes okay."
Moubai turned around and looked at the contents of the plastic bag. They must have been dug from the ruins of the supermarket.
Momo took out the dinner plate and placed it in the middle of the bench, then pushed it towards Zhenbei with a harsh friction sound.
Hot soup, steaming steamed buns, meat porridge, classic pickles, and the legendary tofu curd.
"..."
Zhenbei felt that the breakfast he had pulled out of the ruins in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Bai Yujun felt that her feet were not strong enough, so she pressed her feet twice to make them stronger. Although it was not polite or civilized to put her feet on the chair, it was comfortable.
"Before sunrise, I went to various cities to buy special breakfasts. Eat them while they're hot."
"The methods of the gods are indeed extraordinary."
Make a rant, throw away the plastic bag and pick up the dinner plate.
Eating hot soup and hot rice is really comfortable and warms your stomach.
"When will I leave?"
"Soon, it may be a long, long time for you to come back and see me again."
"..."
Zhenbei, who was halfway through eating the buns, stopped chewing when he heard this and stared at the plate in silence.
People are always like this. Before they actually arrive, they imagine the vast sea and sky. Only when they get closer do they realize that they have too many things to worry about. Recalling the past events that cannot be forgotten, whether they are unwilling or happy, it is inevitable to hesitate.
After a while of silence, I continued to eat. What should come will always come.
Bai Yujun turned to look at Zhenbei.
"You should be able to feel the rejection from the world. You are different from me and cannot come and go freely."
Zhenbei expressed his envy. This is the great supernatural power. He can go wherever he wants.
"Dragon can bring so many benefits, so the price is not low."
"That's right, whatever you gain, you must lose. Behind the scenery are difficulties that others cannot see. They are on the verge of extinction. After living in the fairy world for thousands of years, they have only seen four of their kind. They are also suppressed at the bottom of the sea. They grow slowly and are all top-notch. The material, just pulling out a piece of dragon scale can cause a bloody battle between gods and immortals."
A few words can't explain all the troubles, nothing is easy in the world.
Zhenbei looked back at the busy crowd in the ruins, imagining that he was the only human being left. He couldn't even imagine what it would be like, and he nodded with deep feeling.
"It's very sad to be on the verge of extinction. But once it's extinct, it's really gone and it's irreversible."
After thinking about it carefully, I feel that maybe this is the reason for the scarcity of mythical beasts.
Holding a bowl and sipping hot soup, he felt his whole body warmed up. There was no pretense of reserve. Zhenbei just wanted to be himself and was too lazy to act.
After finishing the meal, I put the plate next to me. I dug around in my pocket for a long time but couldn't find a cigarette butt.
Scratching his head.
"So, I'm leaving, right?"
I was a little bit reluctant to leave, but I wanted to reunite with her as soon as possible, but I was also worried about what I would do if she didn't recognize me.
Bai Yujun, who was also worried, nodded.
"Well, you can hit the road at any time when you're full. I've arranged everything."
"It sounds weird..."
Moubai and Zhenbei each had their own thoughts, and there was another period of silence. Half of the red sun appeared on the other side of the river. The sunshine dispelled the haze that shrouded the city, bringing a touch of warmth in this cold morning.
The river flows hurriedly, and the rising mist forms rime on the treetops on the river bank. It is an ordinary day.
Zhenbei took a deep breath, inhaling the cold air into his lungs and feeling very clear-headed.
"Is there a sun in the fairy world that's going to fall?"
"Yeah, Sunstar in the Old Age."
"It makes no difference. It feels worse than the extinction of the dinosaurs. Why not shoot it down?"
Zhenbei asked curiously.
A certain Bai Danfeng was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was talking about Hou Yi shooting the sun.
"Maybe the sun is different. I've blocked the sun's debris from destroying the world before. It's very hot and delicious."
"..."
Zhenbei was confused by the word "delicious", but he roughly understood that this sun is not that sun.
The sun in front of me gradually rises, and the sun shines warmly on my face. I can't imagine how spectacular the sun sets. In other words, the area in the fairyland is really big.
Bai Yujun loosened her knees, stretched her legs forward, put her right foot on her left foot, pressed her hands on the bench and leaned forward, as if she wanted to get closer to the sun.
The golden morning sun shines on his face, and the fine hair on his temples can be vaguely seen.
Zhenbei thought about it for a long time and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"You asked me to go to the fairy world to perform surgery, do you want me to dry myself first before being hit by the sun?"
When Bai Bai heard this, he curled his lips lazily.
"Don't worry, the sun will have already set by the time you reach the fairy world."
"It's all burned into a desert. Why fight there? The only ones left are probably lizards and scorpions."
After the fire of the sun burned away, not even a hair was left. Everyone turned into glass along with the sand. Finding people was more difficult than seeing a ghost. Go to that ghost place and capture a hammer.
For some reason, when talking about this, Zhenbei felt that Bai Yujun was a little depressed.
I thought to myself that I didn't say anything wrong, so why am I unhappy...
She rubbed the short stubble on her chin, thinking about how to make Long happy. After all, everything was counting on her.
Thinking about it, I remembered a story.
"In ancient times, there was Nuwa who mended the sky, and now there will be great gods who can save the common people. The heavenly river pours down, and the sky fire falls to the earth. Alas, water and fire are merciless."
Perhaps the history books only record a few words about the floods in a certain year, which destroyed people's houses and drowned many people. How can future generations know the pain behind each word? In ancient times, there was still Nuwa who refined colorful stones to mend the sky. , now that the sun is falling and the fire is falling to the ground, who can stand up?
On the other side of the bench, Bai Yujun stared intently at the red sun leaving the mountains.
The snow-white dragon's horns fluoresce when exposed to sunlight.
He sighed deeply and weakly and stood up facing the rising sun.
"The time has come, don't worry. It may take hundreds of thousands of years for you to return, and the earth is only a few months old, so nothing will change much."
"Magical time and space, well, I really should go for a walk."
Zhenbei stood up, looked back at the ruins, and finally looked at the fiery red sun.
Maybe the riverside was isolated by Bai Bai's magic power. There were no outsiders around, and there was a huge space wormhole above his head.
Zhenbei looked up following a certain white gaze.
"You won't let me leave from there, will you? Why don't we go together? The other side is the devil world. If I go there, I will be beaten violently..."
I couldn't help but shudder when I thought about myself being chased by millions of monsters.
"If it's not going your way, don't worry. I've already changed the coordinates on the opposite side. Don't move around. Space can travel freely. We are not responsible for any accidents."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of divine power hit Zhenbei.
In an instant, a beam of light pierced the sky, and a bright beam of light connected the riverside and the center of the wormhole.
The huge energy impact caused strong winds around the light pillar, blowing plastic garbage all over the sky. Zhenbei in the light pillar had not yet taken off, and could only see the surrounding light rising upwards. The violent energy fluctuations made him unable to stand still, and he felt lighter and lighter!
Yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Don't forget what you promised me!"
Bai Yujun nodded helplessly, having said this many times.
"Someone will pick you up after the training. Remember, absorb the evil spirit of the ancient battlefield as soon as possible."
Zhenbei continued to shout, suddenly leaving the ground, and his speed became faster and faster. Looking up, he saw the huge dark wormhole in the sky getting closer and closer, until it was completely dark...
In the distance, Advisor Hao looked at the light beam rising into the sky and said goodbye silently.
After the light beam was thrown into the wormhole and disappeared, the wormhole collapsed and the familiar sky was restored.
Immediately afterwards, another bright beam of light rose into the sky...
