[Hunter] The Meteor Legend after Lydia's Life Record

The eldest sister was the last one.

Her fall marked the end of the era of the dominance of the psychic.When the news spread, everyone knew that after that, it would be completely ordinary people's world.

But when we went back to the room and closed the door, what happened outside had nothing to do with us for the time being.

The knight was still angry, threw himself on the bed with a cold face, raised the game console above his head and slapped it, and refused to communicate with anyone... Although I am the only one who has the energy to communicate with him now.

I'm a bit powerless about this.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to wandering alone. This boy looks like a tight bow, or a hedgehog with spikes. He looks indifferent on the surface, but he’s still standing alone among the thorns in his heart. A child who can't rely on others can only protect himself with his arms around him.

You can see that he is so sure of vengeance, I always feel that it may not be because of his temperament.For example, Feitan's methods of dealing with enemies are also very cruel, but he can get interest from such things.When the knight did this, I only saw indifference in his eyes, like frozen lake water.I think it's more like he's protecting himself in this way—putting up a sign above his head to intimidate others and warn himself not to suffer.

Because the knight is strong enough, I feel a little bit sorry for him like this.But my heart is soft, and I don't know what else I can do at this stage.

Unable to promise more, we can only maintain this balance.

Even if he lacks a sense of security, Xia Ke is a smart person after all, and this cannot be changed.

And I... trust is a precious ability, and I can't have it for the time being.Those who could trust with all my heart fell behind, and I could only draw my sword to stand in the front, looking around blankly, not daring to show a single gap.

It's only been a few days since the accident?I'm already feeling pretty tired.It's not because there is no support, but because the heart is tired.But there was no other way, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on, wading out a way.

Kuroro was sound asleep. I sat on the edge of the bed, slowly wiping the knife with a silk cloth, and my mind gradually became empty.The blade is as clear as water, depending on the angle of rotation, sometimes it is as transparent as crystal, and sometimes it reflects my calm face.

When Kuroro woke up again, I suddenly felt the boulder on my heart lighten.

Even if he is just lying weakly on the bed, just looking at those dark eyes with light inside, I feel that I have a backbone, direction, support and strength.

I lay down on the edge of the bed, resting my head on my elbow, tilted my head and looked at him, my expression changed several times, and finally I couldn't help whispering: "How long will it be better to wait like this?"

Obviously, the mood didn't fluctuate much, but a drop of tear quickly slid down the corner of the eye and into the hair beside the ear, leaving a thin wet mark... just a drop.

My heart is heavy.

Kuroro frowned lightly, and said sharply, "What happened again?"

"Huh?" After thinking quickly, I raised my head and said, "Eldest sister, I also fell down today."

Afraid that he would be worried, I immediately puffed up my chest and said, "But I know what to do. Don't worry, I will guard it." With me here, no one can step into this room and hurt you in the slightest.

Kurolo said nothing about it.He moved inside, vacating half of the bed, and motioned for me to come up.I took off my shoes and turned on the bed, first pressed his arm with my head, then lay down on the pillow and listened to him:

"Is the job outside okay?" He asked in a chatty tone.

"Me?" I shook my head, looked into his quiet eyes, and said coquettishly, "It's kind of boring. Those people are so annoying, I don't want to pay attention to them."

Kuroro thought for a while, and said: "I told Feitan before, it's good to find something for you to do at this time. If you are distracted, you will obviously be less nervous."

With an evasive feeling that I didn't want to answer, I lowered my head and leaned over to touch him.Originally planning to touch him immediately, but as soon as he came into contact with his warm body temperature, he was reluctant to move away, squeezing him like a puppy, and let out a slightly aggrieved whimper from deep in his throat.

Kuroro turned sideways, put his arms up, and put me in the shadow cast by him: "We are not that fragile. Lydia, relax a little bit."

I curled up in his arms with my eyes closed, feeling terrible about myself.I dare not tell him that I actually... don't know what to do.

I was a little scared and felt useless.

In fact, when Kuroro is not around, I can bite the bullet and walk step by step.But he's here awake, and I can't help but want to depend on him.

Kuroro patted me and said clearly, "Don't push yourself too hard."

I don't know if I shrink my neck like an ostrich, if there is a timid smell coming out of my body.In short, Kurolo rubbed me, and the heat of his breath sprinkled on my side face, like comfort and pampering:

"Read a passage to me. Let you find something to do, so that you don't have to think about it."

I got up, took out the "Stories from the Bible" from under the bed, and asked Kuroro what he wanted to hear.

"Let's talk about it last time." Kuroro said casually, "Moses divides the sea."

So I leaned against the bed and read from "Moses Parted the Sea": "...The Pharaoh who was furious because of the death of his eldest son led his army to pursue, and a large cloud covered the Jewish camp. Early the next morning, Moses called According to the order, the waters of the Red Sea parted, and all the tribes crossed to the other side. Afterwards, the pharaoh led his men to jump into the shallow waters to pursue them. Unexpectedly, the seas on both sides suddenly closed, and a huge wave hit the sky. The pharaoh and his soldiers were all buried in the bottom of the sea. , No one went back to tell the whole story."

After I finished reading this passage, I couldn't help looking sideways at Kuroro who was lying beside me.He rested his eyes on the pillow with his eyes closed, his posture relaxed and enjoying, and his breath was leisurely: "Continue."

I went on to read: "The Jews then wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. Seeing that the Egyptian enemy was wiped out before their eyes, they were ecstatic for a moment, and they sang the greatness of the Lord—the most holy, the most glorious, the most glorious." fear!"

"After a few months, in the endless wilderness of Sinai, with food stocks dwindling, they began to curse Moses and loathe his foolish plans. Give us food or let us go back, they demanded. The next morning, the desert The earth was covered with innumerable little flakes of snow, which were collected and kneaded into dough and eaten. The Jews called it manna, and believed that the Lord caused it to grow overnight so that they might have food to eat."

"Then there was the lack of water. Moses raised his staff (as the Lord said) and struck the rock, and a spring gushed out of the solid granite, and they drank to their heart's content... Such miracles unfolded God's support for the Jews made them tame for a while."

"Then they found a new reason to complain. There was a fierce Arabian tribe called the Amalekites, and they kept trying to steal the cattle of the Jews. The Jews could stand against these thieves, and they were strong enough to defend themselves. But They dwelt so long under the protection of the city walls that they feared the sword and the bow. They would rather lose some of their cattle than go up to war. This of course made the Amalekites come to harass more and more, until Moses called Joshua, let him drive out the Amalekites."

I slowly immersed myself in the story, and my voice and mood became more and more peaceful: "Joshua obeyed the orders and left the camp with some volunteers. After he left, Moses raised his arms to the sky—as long as Moses raised his hands, Joshua The army led by the Lord won the battle. But when Moses got tired and dropped his arms, the Amalekites came back. Seeing this, Aaron and Hur came forward to hold the arms of their leader until At sunset, the Amalekites were utterly defeated, and the LORD gave victory to those who followed him faithfully."

After reading this, my mouth was a little dry, so I stopped to drink some water, and observed Kuroro by the way—his eyes were closed, and I'm not sure if he fell asleep again.

Sensing my gaze, Kuroro opened his eyes, feeling sleepy.

"continue."

That's not what Kurolo said.It was Feitan, who woke up at some point, with his hands folded behind his head, looking over with his eagle-like golden eyes, urging me to continue reading the story.

I turned around to look left and right, and met a pair of crystal-clear, round, cat-like golden pupils.With half of his face sunk in the pillow, Madge looked at me with rare spirit.Beyond that, Pike smiled into my gaze.Lan pointed to his ear, showing interest.Franklin's eyes were open, too, and he sat against the wall, intertwining my eyes—I honestly never knew what he was thinking in his usual silence.As for the knight, he seemed a little awkward, but he put down the game console and turned his gaze to the side, wondering what he was looking at.

I realize it's almost dinner time, but we still have to wait for Smoke to return from his shift.

The atmosphere in the house is peaceful.

My heart was soft, and I smiled unconsciously, picked up the book and turned to the next page, and continued to read in a soft voice:

"...Moses realized that unless he got his followers to admit that the Lord was their only God, he would not be able to achieve his purpose. He made the people camp at the foot of Mount Sinai, climbed alone on that ancient rocky mountain, and listened to the words of the Lord. The message was conveyed. He went for forty days and nights, during which thick dark clouds enveloped the entire mountain."

"Moses came back with two huge stone slabs, only to find that the Jews had messed up their discipline after he left, and turned the camp back into an authentic Egyptian village. They used gold to cast a golden bull worshiped by the people on the Nile River, surrounded by The bull sang and danced. Moses was furious. He smashed the slate to pieces on the ground, pushed down and destroyed the bull, and called volunteers to put down this dangerous rebellion. Only the tribe of Levi supported him. He mercilessly killed those who refused to recognize Yahweh's companions, the leaders who started the rebellion against Moses, and those who caused trouble in Moses' absence."

"Moses was devastated by this incident. He realized that his people needed not only a leader but a written law and forced them to obey the words of their elders. He went up to the top of Mount Sinai again. When he came back down, his The face clearly shows that he has seen things that no one has ever seen. His eyes are so bright that no one can look directly into his face."

"He brought back two new stone tablets, on which were the Ten Commandments which the LORD had given Moses to guide and govern the Jews: You shall have no gods other than the LORD; you shall not carve and worship idols yourself; you shall not take the name of the LORD in vain; Work hard, keep the seventh day's rest, and use it to worship God; honor your father and mother; do not murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not give false testimony against your neighbor; do not give others money."

"With the law, Moses ordered the building of the Tabernacle so that the people would gather together to worship the Lord. The Levites who participated in the suppression of the rebellion would serve as priests. Moses himself was the uncrowned king and led the surviving Jews. He stipulated that whenever God wanted When the command was conveyed to the believers, only he could enter the Tent of Meeting to meet the Lord. In addition, he appointed his elder brother Aaron to take over the priesthood after his death, and this job will be inherited by Aaron's descendants from generation to generation..."

There is more behind the story, before I finished reading, Yan pushed open the door and ran in, interrupting me.

"Lydia, the higher-ups told us to send someone to a meeting. Right now, there seems to be something urgent." She walked in and said.

"Well, you came back specifically to inform me and let me go?" I asked.

Yan Bai gave me a look, and said without hesitation: "I can't represent you. But you can represent me."

Because of what she said, I stood up in a good mood and smiled: "Then I have a great responsibility. But you are the same, I can rest assured that I will hand over my back to you..."

"Stop!" Yan Jiji interrupted me, covered his ears and begged for forgiveness: "I know that I will guard the door, so stop talking!"

I pouted helplessly, turned around and took the knife from the pillow, saw Kuroro lying on the bed looking at me like a "sick beauty", felt itchy for a moment, leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth, and said to myself: "Don't worry .I'll be back in a minute."

I thought Kuroro gave me a blank look, but I didn't expect him to raise his hand and put it on the back of my head—actually, I didn't have much strength, but I couldn't get up immediately because of this—he bit my lower lip with little force, Like being bitten by a kitten.

I was stunned for two seconds, then stood up straight with a "shua", moved my lips in silence, dodged my eyes, and my face was instantly bloodshot.

"Let's do it when it's time to do it. The situation will only get worse and worse. It's better to be in our hands." He lay on the bed calmly and said, his voice was weak but serious, only the corners of his mouth and eyes revealed a bit of recovery The joy and pride of the place.

The complacent breath just now was completely vented by him, I held my breath for a few breaths, and whispered: "I know." I turned my head and ran while grabbing the knife.

I buried my head and didn't dare to look at my companions around me. I didn't regain my composure until I ran into the cold corridor.I raised my hand and rubbed my hot cheeks. Looking at the empty and cold passage in front of me, I calmed down and chewed Kuroro's last words over and over again.

Go up to the conference room on the second floor, the small speaker is standing in the middle, and there are already a dozen people gathered around.

Most of them were women, including Ah Ying's mother—they were the logistical group.In addition, the masters of the personal guards came in one after another. I saw Xiaobai and Awu among them.

I thought I was going to discuss the matter of my elder sister's collapse, but looking at Xiao Trumpan's anxious expression with darkened face and sweaty forehead, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Next to him was an old woman who was tied up, as if she had committed a crime.

When everyone arrived, the small speaker cautiously closed the door, opened its mouth and dropped a thunderstorm——

"The materials in the base have been passive. Now some of them have been burned, some have been poisoned, and the amount of food rescued... can only support the consumption of the base for three to five days."

"what?!!"

As soon as this remark came out, the pot must have exploded.

Fortunately, everyone in the meeting was still calm, and someone immediately asked, "What's going on?"

The old woman tied up with five flowers was kicked into the middle of the crowd. Ah Ying's mother said bitterly: "She did it! Poisoning and setting fire, such a vicious heart!"

"Isn't this old Jeff's woman?" "It's Ziv's mother!" "Anna, whore!"

——Identity revealed.

Someone immediately questioned: "Her husband and son are both members of the pro-guards! How could she do such a thing? What good does it do her to betray the base?"

Several women in the logistics team restored the situation at that time in a hurry:

When dinner was approaching, they went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone in the base as usual.An old woman named An Po is also one of the trusted backbones. Aying's mother's deputy is responsible for opening the warehouse to fetch food.After the ingredients were taken out, the dinner was put on the pot. One of the women was partial to her child and scooped a bowl out of the pot for the child to eat. Unexpectedly, the child spurted blood shortly after, fell to the ground and convulsed for a long time, and died without rescue. .

The entire logistics team exploded. While notifying the small speaker, they immediately launched an investigation and found that all the food that night was poisoned.It is conceivable that if the child hadn't been a drug tester first, and such a dinner was served, it would be a catastrophe for the entire base!

Amid the turmoil, Ah Ying's mother was particularly vigilant, and was the first to discover something was wrong in the warehouse.When they unlocked and rushed into the warehouse full of supplies, a heat wave hit their faces-a well-planned fire burned most of the food.

The remaining quantity can only support the operation of the entire base for three to five days.

The fire was extinguished desperately, facing the charred ruins of the warehouse, everyone knew that this would be the most severe test the base faced at this time.When looking at each other, Po An showed her flaws - she didn't have much hidden intentions, her face was full of joy and sarcasm that her long-cherished wish had been fulfilled.

At this time, facing the hatred eyes of everyone in the room, this woman with gray hair and an old face grinned and cursed happily:

"Hahaha——for 30 years, there has not been a day when I don't want to do this, and finally let me wait for the opportunity! I only wish I couldn't poison you all once!"

"Bitch! What hatred do you have with us? Your man and child..."

"Wait!" cried one, "her man Jeff died last night—"

Before we could take advantage of the trend and guess whether it was because of the loss of a loved one to retaliate against the society, Po An raised her head and smiled and said, "No need to guess, I suffocated him to death with a pillow in the middle of the night!"

With such twists and turns in the plot, everyone was completely speechless and could only let her continue.

"...Heh, look at your eyes! I'm not crazy. You don't understand."

Po An's eyes were poisonous and paranoid, and she swept across everyone present, gritting her teeth every word, and said, "Of course you strong people won't understand, because you never treat us weak as human beings!"

"Thirty years ago, that bastard Jeff snatched me from the village outside. How easy he did it! He just snatched a more pleasing woman, and then killed her parents and her man who rushed up to stop me. It's the work of a meal!"

"Do you want revenge..."

"Revenge?" An Po shook her head and said, "Who am I going to avenge? Those people, I have long forgotten what they looked like. I just hate! I just can't be reconciled! Why should I give that bastard Jeff a horse? Beating, scolding and humiliation, but also serving him to eat and drink? I hate him! Why am I a weak person, and I have to live such a life of humiliation?!"

The old woman was so excited that she twisted her face several times and rolled her eyes. The viciousness in the eyes and words made people shudder.

"For 30 years, I thought this would be the end of my life, and the weak would never have a chance to stand up. I never thought that the gods would never abandon us! Look at those tyrannical people with psychic powers, lying on the ground like dogs! They are the weak, whoever Human slaughter! Haha! You should really see Jeff piss and shit before he dies!"

"He's your man! You still have children!" A woman couldn't help shouting, "How can you be so cruel!"

"Men? Children? They're all beasts!" An Po's cloudy eyes rolled, and she spat fiercely, "I regret two things in my life. One is that I didn't strangle that little beast, Qifu! The other is that I didn't stop Xiaoman. , exposed the poison, I can’t watch you all be poisoned to death!!”

"You killed my son! I'll fight with you!" A woman who had been sobbing behind her all the time suddenly rushed forward, waving her hands and screaming at the top of her lungs.

No one stopped her, she rushed to An Po who was trapped in her hands and feet, and scratched her face fiercely with her nails!An Po turned her head to hide for a while, her exposed eye was scratched, and her face was bloody.

She obviously didn't intend to live anymore, and let the crazy woman who lost her child take out a table knife and stabbed her chest and abdomen several times, but struggled and screamed: "It's not a loss now! For a few days, I will wait and see what happens to you!"

"Pfft!" A crossbow|arrow crossed her temple, blood spattered the face of the woman who was still stabbing madly.

There was still a strange smile on the corner of the mouth of the dying old woman, and the bereaved woman stared blankly for a while with blood on her face, then suddenly dropped the knife and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"It's just a crazy woman, don't waste any more time." The man holding the crossbow said coldly, "The most urgent thing now is that the base reserve can't last for a few days, how should we deal with it?"
