Extra chapter 2 for thanking Nisishita Arimaki Naguri for the reward
Xixili was trembling all over.
She didn't know whether it was because she kept staring at the figure crawling back into the Datong shop, half asleep most of the night, or because when morning came, she would wake up with a jolt every time someone got up; anyway, when she finally got off the bed
When she got out of bed, she was excited and groggy at the same time. She hurriedly rolled up the layers of clothes on her body, keeping her eyes fixed on the figure in the corner.
He must be wearing some kind of disguise, Xixili thought.
The man's appearance, size and clothes were all ordinary, very inconspicuous, as if if he were thrown into the crowd and let go, he would melt on the spot and never be found again. When Xixili opened her eyes and thought about it, she didn't even think about it.
I can't remember what his facial features looked like. He was obviously trying his best to avoid attracting others' attention. Every move he made was very small, and he always moved along the shadows in the corners - while other evolved people gathered around the breakfast table,
He quietly opened the door.
Xixi Li's heart tightened, and before the door closed behind him, he grabbed the door edge, quickly got out of the warm and turbid air, and plunged into the wind and snow that could almost penetrate a person.
Compared with yesterday's snowstorm, today's cold wind carrying snowflakes was already very mild; Xixili didn't dare to get too close, and stood there for a while, watching the black shadow in the distance getting smaller and smaller, and then
She rushed after her - even though the weather was much milder today, she still felt like she almost tripped on an ice pillar when she moved her ice-heavy feet.
Could it be that Exodus is in this world? That would explain why it has so much water... Is Exodus a large greenhouse?
Sicily was like an eagle keeping a close eye on its prey, with only a small black shadow in the rolling snow in front of her eyes. The small group of hope that she cherished and cherished in her heart had never been mentioned to anyone.
Unexpectedly, she heard it from another person now... It turned out that those legends were true, and she was not deceiving herself.
While going around a snow hill, Xixili found that the shadow in front of her disappeared.
On the vast white land, there was only endless wind and snow, like melted and broken pieces of cold weather, falling layer by layer on the snow. She looked back at the way she came, and found that the ground she had walked on a few minutes ago was clean.
He left footprints; when he looked forward again, he saw that the gray sky and the snow-white earth were embracing each other continuously, rolling towards the depths of the world. It was all white and empty, and where was there any trace of that person?
Xixi Li almost screamed for a moment - she was so close to the hope of reaching Exodus, but she still missed it. She fell into the thick snow with a thud, and was stunned for a moment. Half of her legs were already buried in the snow.
.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?"
Leng Buding's question startled Xixi Li, like a rabbit that had just been frightened by a fox, stirring up a large amount of snow powder. She hurriedly grabbed the short staff, looked up, and found that the man was lying down.
Above the snow hill, only half of the head and one hand were exposed - the hand was flashing with silver lightning, obviously ready to explode.
"I, I... my name is Xixili." She stammered for a few words, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I accidentally heard you say that you wanted to go back to Exodus... I have always wanted to go..."
"Do you know what Exodus is?" The man raised an eyebrow.
"I, I heard about it from a replica creature." Xixili saw that he seemed to be planning to continue talking. She felt that this was becoming more and more like an interview, so she simply told everything she knew and asked again.
Said: "That is a utopia created by a group of super-powerful evolvers, and it is also the way for us to be saved, right?"
"That's right and that's wrong." The man tilted his head and looked at her. "Are you just an ordinary evolver?"
Xixili lowered his head and looked at himself. If he wasn't an ordinary evolver, what else could he be?
"We also have an enemy, and it is a very powerful enemy. There are countless people and means at its disposal. The reason why I hide my face and act quietly is because I don't want to be noticed by the enemy... You
But it happened that I followed you at this time and said that you also wanted to go to Exodus. I have to say that this timing is too coincidental...so coincidental that I don't like it."
"Please!" Xixili immediately became anxious, "I really didn't lie to you - I can prove that I only know so much about Exodus, and I have never had any bad intentions towards it!"
"How to prove it?"
"I have a recorder." Xixili whispered, "It is one of the most precious items on my body...it will automatically record the major events that have happened to the person carrying it. It has passed through more than 500 people so far.
Its hand has recorded nearly four thousand things... The process of what I heard about Exodus was the last thing it recorded."
If Xixili wanted to sum up a reason why she can survive to this day, then she would undoubtedly choose this recorder.
She has not read all the Four Thousand Events yet, but from what she has seen and learned about other people's histories, she has gained countless valuable experiences and information; in a sense, it is far more powerful than combat.
The special items are much more precious. They are simply navigation maps and survival manuals for the doomsday world.
Therefore, Xi Xili was really reluctant and fearful when handing over the recorder to a stranger whom she was meeting for the first time.
"I know," the man said after taking the recorder, and was not in a hurry to look at it. He didn't seem to care about such a valuable thing, and he didn't seem to realize its value at all, treating it as a piece of equipment.
It was like a note, but he just changed his hand and put it away: "I will read it later and return it to you after reading it. This is not a place to stay and talk. I must leave immediately. If you want to follow, just follow, but if you
If you can't keep up, I won't care about you."
"Where are you going?" Xixili trembled all over, "Are you going to Exodus?"
"Yes," the man jumped down from the snow hill, "and I don't have much time."
As he hurried towards the snow in the distance, Xixili also hurriedly followed - it became almost impossible to speak, and he would take a mouthful of snow when he opened his mouth.
As they ran farther and farther, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and they saw patches of sharp white snow whistling and piercing through the dark sky. The man seemed to know exactly where his destination was, turning around from time to time; Sicily tightened
Sweeping my head behind my thick velvet scarf, I couldn't even tell the direction of the mobile hotel.
When the man was suddenly hit into the air by a burst of snow powder, Xixili realized the danger.
"It's a snow ghost!" The man called out from afar, and was thrown back into the snow, causing the sky to turn white. "We were ambushed by a group of snow ghosts!"
Xixili was startled and shouted: "What is that?"
"They are the fallen species of this world," the man shouted. "They retain the desire and fighting power as humans, but they have turned into the form of wind and snow——"
Before he finished his sentence, he seemed to have been hit again.
Xixi Li looked around. Her fighting ability was passable at best. Even though she saw the man being attacked from a distance, she still didn't know where the attack came from, and no one was there.
Attack her. In her perception, there is still only endless wind and snow between heaven and earth.
The thick velvet scarf had long been covered with layers of fine and heavy snowflakes; while Xixili was still looking around and on guard, the snow on her eyelashes, scarf, and hat slowly climbed up her face.
