I'm trapped in a cube

"Xiaokong, who is he?"

The blonde girl couldn't help herself after all and asked Xiaokong behind her.

"He said he came from the upper level of the abyss." Xiao Kong answered blankly.

"You believe this? Do you know what the abyss is?"

"I don't know, Sister Xiao Huang. We grew up in the abyss, so how can we know what's happening outside..."

"Then how can you be sure that what he said is true?" the girl continued to ask.

"Intuition." Xiao Kong thought for a moment and gave a very metaphysical answer: "I can feel that he has no hostility towards us. When we first met him, he did not hurt us. On the way to the city center, he also helped me clear out a lot of heavenly soldiers."

"I can see that his purpose is very pure, which is to find his companions. He is just curious about our affairs."

"Sister, you should be able to sense it, right? He doesn't really care about us."

Xiaokong asked the girl in front of him.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the girl nodded silently.

Perhaps knowing that Mo Ling could hear them, neither of them continued talking, but just walked silently towards the depths of the hive.

After a moment, the blond girl broke the silence again:

"After sending everyone to the shelter, you go back first. I will stay to maintain the hive."

"Why? Sister Xiao Huang, won't you come with me?"

"No, do you think that if such a large beehive suddenly disappears, it will not attract the attention of the heavenly soldiers? Although we don't know where the heavenly soldiers have gone now, we still have to be careful. If they suddenly come back and there is no beehive to attract their attention, they will target you."

"But……"

Xiaokong wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the girl: "Stop talking, Xiaokong, just do as I say."

Hearing the girl's resolute words, Xiao Kong opened his mouth but gave up the argument.

There seems to be a strong "age concept" among these young people. The younger ones must obey the older ones. This is very important and deeply rooted in their social structure of "the older leading the younger".

Therefore, facing the girl's decision, although Xiaokong was unwilling, he would not refute it.

Under the guidance of the girl, the two soon arrived at the honey area.

"My honey can still be preserved for a while. After you send them to the shelter, let Xiaolian treat the more seriously injured first, and follow the order."

"clear."

Xiao Kong didn't say much. He summoned a familiar space gate and floated towards the wounded in the honey. After the space ripples passed, the wounded and the surrounding honey disappeared and entered the shelter.

"Your abilities have improved a lot, Sora."

The yellow-haired girl's eyes lit up when she saw Xiaokong's operation.

"I have been training with everyone. Sister Xiao Huang, you should have told us about the operation. Although we can't help much, at least we won't be a hindrance."

"Xiao Kong, this is the rule... When the older generation of brothers and sisters took action, they would not take us with them. This is the rule that the survivors must abide by. If we all go out and get caught in one fell swoop, there will be no hope at all."

When the girl mentioned "previous generation", her eyes seemed to flicker slightly. Xiao Kong also caught this and immediately picked up the girl's words and asked:

"Where are the older brothers and sisters of the previous generation?"

"I don't know. He disappeared after an operation..."

"What operation? Why did he disappear?"

Xiaokong was eager to know the answer, but was stopped by the girl's stern shout.

"Enough! Xiaokong! I told you that someone is missing! Don't you know what that means? In this city, is there any other reason for someone to go missing? Xiaokong, do you really have to ask everything clearly? That happened in the previous generation and has nothing to do with you!"

The yellow-haired girl seemed unable to control her emotions again and got very angry at Xiaokong, but Xiaokong didn't say anything. He just looked at his "Sister Little Yellow" worriedly, his eyes full of heartache.

"Sister, I'm sorry."

His gentle words stunned the angry girl. The anger on her face instantly subsided, and her eyes gradually became gentle...

"Xiaokong, I should say sorry to you."

"When the time comes, you will pass the pressure on to Xiaolian, and let Xiaolian bear the burden, and the cycle will repeat itself."

"Generation after generation, time and again..."

A trace of sadness appeared on the girl's face, and the feeling of despair also spread to Xiaokong.

"Sister Xiao Huang..." Xiao Kong called the girl softly while clenching his fists.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I'm going to end this, right here."

He looked at the girl and said firmly.

Listening to Xiaokong's bold words, the girl said nothing, but walked up to him, gently touched Xiaokong's head, and forced a smile at him.

"It's time to go, Xiaokong."

The young man's bold words were like falling into cotton, without causing any waves...

Sister Xiao Huang didn't seem to want the two of them to be bound by a hard promise, nor did she want the boy's heart to be tortured by this unreasonable responsibility, just like what she had endured.

"I understand, sister..."

Xiaokong sighed, seeming a little depressed. He looked at the girl deeply, turned around, and walked in the direction he came from without looking back.

The handover between the two generations seemed to be completed in this simple conversation.

Xiaokong clenched his fists tighter, but walked more resolutely.

But at this moment, the girl shouted behind him:

"Xiao Kong, from now on, you don't have to listen to any orders from our generation..."

"It's all up to you."

As soon as the words fell, at this moment, it seemed that the "handover" was officially completed.

Xiao Kong paused, and his clenched fist suddenly loosened, as if he was waiting for these words:

"It's all up to you."

This is responsibility and trust.

It is the recognition of the "boss" of this generation by the "boss" of the previous generation.

Xiaokong's heart, which had been floating in the air, finally settled down.

He took a deep breath and slowly turned around.

"Sister, you said this."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The girl seemed to realize something and wanted to react, but before she could act, a ripple directly enveloped her, and the next second, she disappeared.
