Data Wasteland

At five in the morning, Chen Xing climbed the highest car mountain near the camp.

The soft morning light filled the ruins. Looking through the binoculars, all the locomotives that had been parked outside the crypt were destroyed. It's all with one knife and two paragraphs, sporadic flames are burning, and wisps of black smoke are slowly rising.

It is only now that Chen Xing has seen the scene in the camp. The blood was mixed with soil, and the tent was covered with black blood scabs. The corpses were sloppy, and most of them had no heads or broken hands or feet. Looking closely, all the incisions are very smooth, as if made by a guillotine. The title of the Thousand Blade Rose is indeed well-deserved. Killing people is like cutting melons and vegetables, even the bones can be cut into two pieces.

Chen Xing couldn't help taking a breath. Fortunately, Aaliyah didn't want to kill him. Even if he could perceive the danger ahead of time, he could not evade it, because their disparity in strength had already caused a crush, and any skills, experience, and judgment were all in vain.

But then again, when Aaliyah drove him away just now, he didn't sense the danger. In other words, Aaliyah did not kill him, at least not directly.

If he thinks in another way, Chen Xing and Aaliyah are in different places, even if it is for profit, he can't bear to kill his companions. As for the later generations of Aaliyah, although her reputation was not too good, she was not too bad. Walking between light and darkness, she did good deeds and evil deeds.

If people have a kind side, they won't do things too terribly. As a man, Chen Xing III was most afraid of the kind of person who had no emotions, regarded everything as a measure of interest, and was extremely selfish. But there is a more terrible thing, the distortion of thinking, in order to make a little gloomy gratification, you can do things that are detrimental to yourself.

The feeling Aaliyah gave him was more of a childlike play. But because the other party is too strong, this kind of play becomes very deadly, but in essence, her heart is not bad.

After a while, Chen Xing dug a hole in the car hill, shrank it inside, and then covered it with a wagon, exposing a few small holes to observe the situation in the crypt.

The sun gradually rose into the sky, bringing a little warmth. Chen Xing ate a compressed biscuit and continued to wait. The water and dry food in his backpack can last for seven or eight days. Several hours passed, the sun slowly set, the moon rose, and night fell.

The temperature dropped rapidly, and the mechanical parts next to the body became cold and hard, and there was no warmth. The cold wind came in through the gap, and the blower trembled.

Chen Xing couldn't stand it any longer, took out the blanket from his backpack, wrapped his body tightly, and adjusted the black watch's alarm clock to ring once every hour, watching the situation while dozing off.

After a few hours, the sun rose again. There were no ghosts in the crypt except for the tent cloth that flew up and down when the wind blew by.

Chen Xing came up with the idea of ​​leaving alone several times, but in the end he denied it. Along the way, every creature they encountered could easily take his life. The Black Death Forest is not something people of his level can come. At least the strength of the guard level is required to ensure basic safety.

Rather than go out to die, it's better to wait for Aaliyah here to get a chance. If the sachet given to him by the other party is real and effective, he will definitely not mind bringing him, and if the sachet is fake, the other party may not be ruthless in person.

While waiting, the day passed. Chen Xing was in the cave, stiff and numb, but there was still no movement in the crypt. When he was approaching before, he looked down, and it was dark inside, and the blue water was faintly visible. It is the medium between space and it is called "power matter" by scholars, which presents the form of light blue self-luminous liquid in the human retina.

Seeing the food that had been consumed for two days, Chen Xing hesitated more and more. The longer it takes, the lower his survival rate. He made up his mind in silence, waited another day, and if there was no change, he would leave immediately.

On the one hand, he could not travel long distances when the food was consumed; on the other hand, the Silver Knight Guild found that there was no movement for a long time, and would definitely send someone over again.

At dawn, the sun rises from the horizon and illuminates the entire world.

"Didi..."

Chen Xing woke up at the black watch's prompt and looked dimly at the crypt in the distance, as if a big mouth was going to swallow him in. He remembered a battle he participated in with the Thunder Light regiment in his previous life. He hid in the damp mud hole, and there were deafening explosions from time to time outside. He didn't know when he would be killed by a flying cannonball. That feeling is too helpless, as if a huge Russian turntable is on top of his head, turning to a specific number, he will die.

The dominance of fate is not in his hands.

After waiting numbly for several hours, just when he was about to lose patience, a figure flew out of the crypt.

He quickly picked up the binoculars and looked over. The dark red leather tights and the dark blue canvas jacket were Aaliyah. But she seemed to be injured, with large blood stains on her clothes, and staggered when she landed.

She glanced around and walked in the direction of Chen Xing. Chen Xing was not in a hurry to go out. He observed for a while and found that Aaliyah was only walking in the direction where she came, not that he had been spotted. So he put down the telescope and waited quietly.

Aaliyah's steps were a little staggering, and there was a blood stain on her right thigh. I saw her clutching her chest, turning her head from time to time, looking in the direction of the crypt, as if she was worried that something would chase it.

After bypassing the car hill, she continued to walk forward. Chen Xing crawled out of the cave and followed her, keeping a distance of several hundred meters.

Perhaps because of the injury, Aaliyah's alertness dropped drastically, and after leaving the crypt, she rushed. Chen Xing followed to the edge of the Auto Valley, but Aaliyah still didn't know.

"Huhuhu..."

She stopped, leaned against the door of an old car, looked up, panting.

Chen Xing moved his steps and approached slowly. For safety reasons, he wanted to clarify the situation before making a decision. In the scope of the assault rifle, Aaliyah's shoulders were shaking slightly, as if she was enduring great pain.

Judging from the blood stains on her body, she should have been shot.

After resting for a while, she drew a slender knife from her calf. The blade is as thin as a cicada wing, and you can feel its sharpness just by looking at it. The blade exudes a dark golden light, it should be an alloy material mixed with fine gold.

I saw her staring at the blade, her eyes calm as water, and finally she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, gripped the hilt of the knife, and stabbed the knife into her thigh.

"Woo..."

She raised her head, shook her hair vigorously, and let out a dull painful grunt.

Judging from her actions, she was dealing with a gunshot wound and digging out the bullet in her thigh. Just when Chen Xing hesitated whether to come and help, Aaliyah let out an "Uh" and saw a blood arrow spray out.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, a silver-white warhead hit the car shell next to it and bounced and rolled to the ground.
