631 New year, new atmosphere, new year, new heroine(?)
When the soaring water wave in the distance crashed down, Lin Sanjiu's figure had disappeared from the rocks.
Mu Xin was stunned for a moment, and the blood all over his body went cold.
In the first few seconds, he blinked and looked around again. It seemed a little unreal: one second Lin Sanjiu had landed on a rock, and the next second she was whistling.
Disappeared in the waves - what happened? What happened? Did he see it wrong?
The sky above the rocks in the distance was empty. Mu Xin waited for a long time, but he never saw her climbing up from the sea again. He turned his eyes and quickly glanced at Ji Shanqing; the expression on the latter's face fell into his field of vision.
Here, Mu Xin suddenly became excited and suddenly understood.
Amidst the shrill screams of the Queen of Souls in the distance, the face of the young man who was too beautiful to distinguish between male and female turned pale step by step, his face was expressionless, but his teeth were chattering.
"A few..." He managed to squeeze out a little sound through his trembling teeth; the sea breeze blew between the two rocks and swept away his tiny voice. Mu Xin left after Lin Sanjiu
After hearing it, he took the initiative to move away. At this time, he couldn't hear clearly anymore, so he couldn't help but raise his voice and asked: "What?"
Ji Shanqing didn't even look at him, as if he didn't exist. He was trembling in the sea breeze, like a piece of thin white paper being blown around; in the messy black hair that was rolled up, he was trembling in the sea breeze.
His lips opened again - this time, Mu Xin vaguely heard him call "Sister".
Even though she didn't like the person in front of her, Mu Xin couldn't help but feel a little sad.
But death is a daily sight in the apocalyptic world, and he has long been used to it; even if he didn't feel bad about Lin Sanjiu, her sudden death only made Mu Xin sigh in his heart - to him
, the most difficult problem is the young man in front of me.
Growing up in an abnormal environment, Mu Xin also learned how to distinguish abnormal people; he was sure that Ji Shanqing was definitely not a normal person anyway.
The "repayment" he just gave to a few people, although it seemed like an angry revenge, was actually more like a warning; in order to show that he was not a weak person who could be bullied, he issued a "Don't mess with me!
" signal. But ironically, the only people who need to send this signal are the weak - especially when they find danger around them.
Now, the only person who could counterbalance this danger is dead.
What happens next?
Just as Mu Xin was hesitating and not sure what to do, the young man on the rock suddenly turned his head and called him: "Mu Xin!"
Mu Xin was agitated and said "Huh?" bravely.
How could a person be so pale? He looked like the reflection of the moon on the night before the storm in the river. When Ji Shanqing looked at Mu Xin, his eyes seemed to penetrate him, causing Mu Xin to suddenly float up.
This strange feeling: it seemed that both of them knew that they were actually a little afraid of him. Then, Ji Shanqing ordered in an unquestionable and commanding tone: "Go and count."
"What?" Mu Xin thought she heard wrongly.
"Next, you go and find out the terrain of the black camp." Ji Shanqing said coldly, "The game is going on now, so we can't waste time."
"Okay. Just now your sister..."
"I'm going to find her," Ji Shanqing motioned for him to follow her expressionlessly: "Let's go together. Maybe I can still use you."
Just like that, this unilaterally controlled dialogue ended.
The Queen of Soul was left alone to look after her house; there were five or six rocks away, and the two of them were traveling together.
Mu Xin learned from the experience that Lin Sanjiu had gained in exchange for his life, and was extremely careful every time he jumped. There are almost no props in the world that can meet the weird demand of "uninterrupted standing long jump", and he doesn't know who the woman in the white camp is.
How did he do it? He only knew that Ji Shanqing was dancing as hard as he was - no, judging from his heavy breathing and thrilling landings every time, it was probably much harder than him.
This young man's physical abilities seemed to be unexpectedly average...so average that if he was pushed on his back, he would be knocked into the sea.
He doesn't know how to swim. If he falls in, he will never be able to swim out before the yellow shadow wraps around him.
When the two finally jumped onto the rock where Lin Sanjiu had lost his footing, Ji Shanqing squatted down by the gap on the edge of the rock and glanced up at Mu Xin.
"There were several times when I thought you were going to push me into the water." He asked calmly, turning his head. "Why didn't you do it?"
As if a bucket of ice water had been thrown at him, Mu Xin didn't know what to answer. He tried his best to keep a straight face and not reveal his inner fluctuations. He just stared at the water and said: "...No. This is her
Where it fell, right?"
"Yes," Ji Shanqing narrowed his eyes, put his hands on the edge of the rock, and stretched out half of his body without any defense, "did you see it?"
"What?" Mu Xin still stood upright, not approaching the edge of the rock.
"Under the top yellow shadow, there is a large group of fuzzy, entangled yellow shadows..." Ji Shanqing's voice suddenly changed, sounding like a shaken glass vase, as if it could be shaken at any time.
They would smash it into pieces with a shout: "Do you have anything like a long stick?"
When he said this, Mu Xin also saw it through the sea waves; not only did he see it, he also felt that the large shadow seemed to be about the same size as a human body. After hearing this, he took two steps back to ensure that Ji Shanqing could not see it.
After that, he rummaged through the storage tools and said, "There is no stick... That kind of thing doesn't pose any threat, I should have thrown it away long ago."
"Then what do you have?"
"There is a rope," before Mu Xin finished speaking, Ji Shanqing suddenly twisted around and stared at him. Mu Xin immediately put away the storage tools and raised an eyebrow: "What?"
"If my sister is really under the water, we won't have much time." Ji Shanqing took a breath, suppressed his anxiety and ordered: "Come here."
"What to do?" Mu Xin didn't move.
"I don't care what you do, just break up that shadow," Ji Shanqing stood up, folded his arms and stepped aside, "Hurry up."
"How did I-"
"If you think about it carefully, there must be a way. When you were swimming, you used at least two special items, but you still have an unused mermaid tail. Your special items focus on survival in the water. I don't think this should be a
Coincidence. You are so adaptable to water that you even chose swimming in the Olympic Games instead of land, which is more suitable for human activities." After Ji Shanqing finished these words very quickly, he said
Lifting his chin: "Your way of surviving in the apocalypse is to hide in the water, right?"
He's right.
The dangers in the water are far less than those on land. The deeper the water, the smaller the chance of encountering fallen species, copies, and evolved people; while the food choices have greatly increased. What's more, Mu Xin has liked water since he was a child, and he is just a child from a poor family.
There are few opportunities for swimming.
"I can try," Mu Xin gave in after a few seconds of stalemate, "but I can't guarantee it."
"You are a kind person." Ji Shanqing showed a fleeting smile. This sentence did not sound like appreciation, let alone gratitude, but rather like a simple statement of a fact he had observed.
It was really uncomfortable for Mu Xin to walk to the edge of the rock and use special items in front of him; even though he also knew that Ji Shanqing had no reason to go against him at this time. Mu Xin opened the mermaid's tail
He put it on his arm, and with a gentle tug, the fish skin immediately stretched out and gently wrapped his arm, as if a fish tail suddenly grew out of his shoulder.
Supporting the reef and looking at the yellow shadows gathering crazily under the water, Mu Xin cautiously put only the end of the fish's tail, the part that didn't wrap his hand, into the water.
In fact, the mermaid tail is not inferior to the other props he commonly uses. As soon as it touches the sea surface, it immediately rolls up a large portion of the sea water, turning the water into the shape of a huge whip. With Mu Xin's movements, the waves quickly spread
A whirlpool was created; the whirlpool got deeper and bigger, and every move he made became more and more careful, but he never let the waves covered with yellow shadows splash on the rocks.
Ji Shanqing's long hair hung down, floating on his back, and Mu Xin's whole body tensed up.
"Keep going," he encouraged softly, "you're about to hit that group of shadows!"
The fish's tail spun faster. Controlled by the fish's tail, the huge whip composed of waves, after just a few breaths, forcibly created a vortex nearly ten meters deep on the sea surface - that
A tangled and tumbling yellow shadow was finally exposed in the air, like the entangled limbs of hundreds of snakes; but they only lasted for a moment, and were immediately dispersed by the power of the whirlpool.
With a "dang" sound, a round thing was liberated from the yellow shadow by the whirlpool, and hit the rocks along the current. Ji Shanqing quickly reached out and fished the thing out of the water.
A large birdcage.
Perhaps because of the protection of special items, the man in the birdcage was not dead yet, but his whole body was turned white by the sea water. Ji Shanqing pushed the birdcage onto the rock hard and shouted hoarsely: "My sister
Sure enough, it’s down there! Keep stirring!”
Mu Xin couldn't help but feel a numb shiver, and he didn't dare to relax at all. When he saw a figure floating under the water, he immediately stopped the whirlpool and stared closely at the slowing water, feeling in his heart
Half happy, half relieved.
He didn't have a bad impression of Lin Sanjiu, and he even understood her somewhat; her survival was not only a good thing in the ordinary sense, but also meant that the person who could restrain Ji Shanqing was back.
The two of them held their breath at the same time, watching the figure move its hands and feet and swim towards the sea little by little.
With a "wow" sound, a face floated up from the sea. After taking a few deep breaths, it showed a bright smile to the two of them.
"Hello, you guys," Zeus turned his long neck a few times, as if to stretch his muscles: "You have actually found a god! Congratulations!"
The two of them were stunned at the same time.
Mu Xin did not dare to look at Ji Shanqing's expression. He could imagine that the latter's complexion would be as white as a whistling snowstorm.
"Ahem," Zeus cleared his throat pretentiously, tugged on the black tank top on his body, and his voice echoed loudly on the sea: "New year, new atmosphere, new me will also start to announce new rules! Listen, everyone.
