Chapter 1196 The Time of Two People

“…this feels really good.”

Veronica closed her eyes and tasted the air—the cool aroma of plants, the dampness and heat of wild animals, and the coldness of the sea.

Everything that was alive reached her soul, making everything else pale.

Soshiyang, who was standing beside her, noticed something, looked around, and was surprised to find that whether it was grass or other plants, they began to grow rapidly, and their scope continued to expand, as if all life was infinitely nourished.

"This is........"

Suddenly, Veronica opened her eyes and everything stopped again.

Her green eyes turned from the boundless sky to the forest at the foot of the mountain. The trees were very dense, and only fine shadows were seen between the trunks.

There, a strong, unknown herbivore with horns and furs was grazing at the edge of the forest line. The rusty fur shone golden in the sunset, and the horns on the head forked upward like bone flames.

Veronica looked at it, holding her breath, afraid that a little slight movement would break the picture.

Suddenly, the animal raised its head and its nostrils were twitching.

Then she met its sight and saw a soul who struggled to survive and survived hardships.

The sky was filled with fire and deadly poisonous gas, all creatures turned into corpses, all plants withered and died, but hope still exists. When death dissipates, the small animals hiding in the caves emerged, and the seeds hidden deep underground began to sprout-

The haze fades away, and the cycle of life restarts again.

Tears pierced Veronica's eyes, feeling pain for what the spirit of this world has experienced.

Suddenly, a roar echoed from the depths of the forest, which was the cry of the predator.

The animal immediately turned around and ran away, and carried it with its powerful limbs up the mountains, over the rocks, and along the dangerous path.

Seeing Veronica suddenly crying, Soshiyang was confused for a moment. He looked at the animal that was leaving and thought Veronica was because of that thing, so he spoke:

"Do you like that creature very much? I can catch it-"

"Why is the first thing you think of is robbing?"

"Well--"

"In the future, you will continue to destroy the world with machinery and flames, right?"

Soshiyang sighed softly, he could compromise on some things, but he could not.

"I don't know if your words come from the heart or are just in the arrogance of your race, but this is how we survive to this day. Without those, human beings will turn into dust... You think this is plunder, but plunder itself is part of the galaxy order, just like the forest in front of you. If you see its beauty, I think it will definitely see its cruelty."

Veronica did not answer, but just stared at the forest in the distance, with tears still in her eyes.

Soshiyang shook his head.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your good mood."

As he said that, he walked aside and sat on an ancient rock.

"You can go around, I have six hours and I will return after that."

Veronica didn't say anything, but just turned around and walked away silently.

Soshiyang looked at the other person's back and felt mixed feelings for a moment. During this period, Talos kept reminding him intentionally or unintentionally to keep a distance from Veronica. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, even according to the standards of Chaos Space Marines, their words and deeds are serious behaviors of cross-border.

Sometimes Soshiyang couldn't help but ask himself if he really crossed the line?

He couldn't answer.

In his heart, is there any other meaning besides a vow?

Soshiyang didn't want to think about it anymore, so he shook his head, lay back, pillowed his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes to rest in the spring breeze and sunshine. This time he also regarded it as a vacation for someone.

However, not long after he lay down, he summoned a smart angel from the shuttle and asked it to follow Veronica to report the situation in time.

After all, there may be some dangerous animals on the planet. Although Veronica herself is a war witch, Soshiyan is always a little worried.

While enjoying the rare sunshine, I was conceiving the plan for the next few decades in my mind. Time passed without realizing it. When Soshiyang opened his eyes, it was already four hours later, and it was approaching dusk.

After looking around, he didn't see Veronica, Soshiyan picked up the data board beside him.

"What did she do here?"

After taking a look at the coordinates sent back by the smart angel, Soshiyan found that the other party was already in the forest, but not very deep, but it should be a lake.

So he clicked on the visual image of the smart angel—

I saw the dim sunshine shining the lake surface into amber. A graceful figure was standing in the lake, with long wet hair sprinkled on my shoulders. My white skin looked so hazy and psychedelic in the dim light, like a flawless sculpture.

"The picture of what Ditrian made is very clear..."

Soshiyang blinked, then suddenly turned off the data board, threw it on the grass aside, and rubbed his head hard.

"Soshyan, Soshyan, what are you doing! How can you be so depraved! Have you forgotten the duties and honors of Astart? You can't continue like this!"

After criticizing himself for a while, Soshiyan looked at the gradually deeper sky and began to recite the Astartes Book to relieve his inner guilt.

After a few minutes of memorization, he was a little upset and could only close his eyes and meditate.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the wind gradually became a little cold, Soshiyang felt something approaching him.

Then he smelled a natural fragrance, with a little water vapor.

Soshiyang wanted to open his eyes, but suddenly he felt something cold gently touching his face and forehead. He immediately thought of Veronica's long hair shawl, and he didn't dare to open his eyes for a moment.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! The other party is now likely to be looking down at himself.

"Thank you, Soshiyan."

Veronica's voice was very light, but very close.

Soshiyang's throat squirmed for a while, thinking about whether to open his eyes now. He didn't even know what he was afraid of.

Suddenly, something touched his cheeks, with a wet touch—

"you!"

Soshiyang opened his eyes suddenly, but saw Veronica looking at him with a smile, with a red fruit in each of his hands - Soshiyang immediately realized that it was this thing that had just touched his face.

"To you, it's a thank you gift this time!"

With a somewhat awkward expression, Soshiyang took the fruit handed over by the other party, and took a bite.

Sweet and sour.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the glorious galaxy had already floated in the sky.

Veronica sat next to Soshyang, eating fruit while looking at the Galaxy.

Suddenly, she turned her head and said:

"Soshyan, if...if... one day someone tells you, I am an alien and you have to kill me, will you do it?"

Soshiyang sniffed a bite of the fruit silently, but no answer.

He had no way to answer.

"Forget it, I won't ask you, this big stupid guy, I will hide it myself. It's not that easy for you humans to discover me."

Soshiyang chewed the fruit core in his last bite, then looked at the time and said:

“It’s time to go back.”

"Yeah, let's go."

The two men got off the stone and walked towards the shuttle.

As he was about to walk, Veronica suddenly stopped and said softly:

"Can we come back together in the future?"

Soshyang paused and then stepped onto the ramp.

"If you have time, it will."

Looking at the other person's back disappearing into the shuttle cabin, a faint sadness appeared on Veronica's face, and her right index finger gently brushed her lips.

“…Yes, if there is still time.”
