[Sword Three] End Times and Tang Dynasty

Chapter 54: Raiders of the Magic City ([-])

The sun was about to rise, Tang Huai washed off the dust, practiced his Five Elements Stone, and returned to the hotel.Shi Mingjie was sleeping on the sofa outside, Miao Shiyi had already left to run some errands, and the hotel was quiet.

Miao Xia was resting in the room, and Tang Huai gently pushed the door and entered.There were two beds in the room, but Miao Xia was only curled up on the side of the bed against the wall, almost wrapping herself into a ball.

Just as Tang Huai was about to go to another bed to rest, Miao Xia in the corner sat up rubbing her eyes and just looked at Tang Huai without saying a word.

Outside the window, the light from torches leaking in from the nightless square shone beside Miao Xia like a flickering ghost.Miao Xia shrank back into the corner again, hugging her knees and looking at Tang Huai.

Tang Huai went to the window, closed the curtains, and then returned to Miao Xia's bed. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand and lifted the quilt to lie down. He pulled Miao Xia directly, and finally pulled the quilt onto his shoulders.

This should work, right?Tang Huai froze and didn't dare to move, Miao Xia shrank into his arms, and she closed her eyes quietly, breathing evenly after a while.

It seems right... When Tang Huai first debuted, he inevitably had all kinds of negative emotions. His mouth was as strict as a clam shell, and he never took the initiative to say anything. At that time, his senior brother Tang Ming hugged him and slept together. He could sleep well. very stable.

Both of them slept soundly this time, and the sun was in the middle of the sky when they got up.

Going back to the guild territory to fetch water for Miao Xia, Tang Huai handed him a towel and a toothbrush: "Your name is Miao Xia, wash it out." After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

Mu Ye and Miao Shiyi were not there. Uncle Jiu estimated that he had spent the whole night at ease, and his snoring could be heard in the living room across the door of the master bedroom. Tang Huai was planning to make noodles by himself, but found that the coffee table in the living room There was a large bowl of porridge, and Shi Mingjie was meditating on the futon on the ground beside him, reciting scriptures silently.

Hearing Tang Huai's movement, Shi Mingjie stopped the rosary in his hand, opened his eyes and smiled and said, "Mr. Master, good afternoon. Is the little benefactor awake?"

Tang Huai nodded, sat down and filled the two bowls with porridge by himself. The porridge hadn't completely cooled down yet, so children could eat it.

Shi Mingjie didn't ask any more questions, and continued to recite scriptures silently with his eyes closed.

After a while Miao Xia came out, Tang Huai signaled him to come over for dinner, he obediently sat on the sofa next to Tang Huai, imitating Tang Huai's movements and began to eat.

Shi Mingjie doesn't cook with meat, and Tang Huai still has some unfinished barbecue meat. The system backpack can keep it fresh, so he took out the barbecue meat, tore it up and soaked it in Miao Xia's bowl.

Unlike those three guys who were once turned into little brats by the system, this little guy is a real kid now, with only a few days of physical and mental age. Tang Huai feels that even if he is not in the apocalypse, he may not be able to make this kid alone. The little guy was brought up smoothly. Fortunately, there are a few more thoughtful apprentices around him who can help.

After eating, Miao Xia turned her head to look at Tang Huai, Tang Huai's figure was in her impeccable black pupils.

Tang Huai started to have a headache about the child's education again. He took out two books from the coffee table in the hotel and asked, "Are you literate?"

Miao Xia nodded, looked at Tang Huai and asked, "Master? Mr. Master?" He still didn't know how to address Tang Huai. He heard a lot of names yesterday. Who would be better to call him with?

Tang Huai didn't care about the seniority of Miao Xia and those apprentices, he just said, "Just call me Master." Then he gave him the book, "Read it yourself." After saying that, he got up and left the hotel.

He went around the street and found that there were only one or two stalls selling books among hundreds of stalls in a huge square, and the quality of the books was not good.Thinking of the materials about Miao Xia he saw yesterday, he simply found a place where no one was around, ran to a community library that he passed by a few days ago, and killed the administrator zombie and two mutated mice , Swept across the bookshelves.

After returning to the hotel, Tang Huai found that the stack of books in front of Miao Xia had been put back neatly, while Xiao Miaoxia was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, imitating Shi Mingjie's chanting. Shi Mingjie was no different.

Tang Huai looked at Miao Xia, then turned to Shi Mingjie's radiant head, and couldn't help having bad associations, especially thinking that Miao Xia's soft short hair would become like Shi Mingjie's. Bald, almost uncomfortable.

He walked quickly to the coffee table and took out a large bag of books from the system backpack, almost covering Miao Xia: "Look."

Miao Xia's eyes lit up, she changed to a normal sitting position, obediently picked up the book closest to her and began to read.Only then did Tang Huai heave a sigh of relief, and took out all the books in his bag, and piled them up in the living room.

Uncle Jiu fell asleep, and Shi Mingjie still had to chant scriptures. Tang Huai saw that everyone had something to do, so he went out to collect the information he wanted, so that he could sneak into the high-tech zone to investigate the settlement of supernatural beings at night.

After a busy afternoon, I stepped on the sunset and walked towards the hotel transformed from an ordinary house. Tang Huai stopped when he passed a dilapidated doll shop.

The glass door of the store has been broken long ago, and dust and garbage are everywhere, but the dolls in the store are piled up fairly neatly. After all, the things here are meaningless to people living in the disaster.Thinking of Miao Xia's reaction to sleeping alone last night, Tang Huai stepped across the broken glass, glanced at each doll one by one, and finally raised his hand to pick up a panda doll that was half the height of Miao Xia, and tore it off. Put the doll into the system backpack in the dusty plastic package.

Back at the hotel, Tang Huai heard Uncle Jiu yelling at the top of his voice, "This string is almost ready, add some more cumin!"

Shi Mingjie was not there, and the smell of barbecue was wafting in the living room. Uncle Jiu was huddled behind the metal oven, glanced at the door, saw Tang Huai, and said excitedly, "Where did you pick up this brat?! The craftsmanship is really good." , is definitely a genius!"

Tang Huai looked around: the coffee table in the middle of the living room was thrown to the corner, and its original position was replaced by a metal oven, above which was connected a smokestack that directed the smoke outside the house.Judging by the smell wafting from the stove and the pile of greasy empty dishes nearby, the two had already made many finished products and destroyed them.

Miao Xia poked her head out from behind the oven and saw Tang Huai holding a huge panda doll in her hands, her eyes lit up, she smiled and held up a bunch of roast meat in her hand, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, pure white Eight of his teeth were exposed: "Master."

For a moment, Tang Huai felt as if his heart had been hit by something insubstantial, and he felt a sense of ecstasy, but when he was dazed, Uncle Jiu took the cooked meat away from Miao Xia's hand and stuffed another Skewered meat: "It's not delicious, let's grill it!"

Tang Huai stared at Uncle Jiu with a paralyzed face: "..."

Miao Xia protested earnestly: "The next skewer is for Master." He has short hands and can't hold too many skewers, so the efficiency is a bit low, and Uncle Jiu's stomach has not been filled after roasting for a long time.

Uncle Jiu rubbed his head: "You know, let's roast it."

Sitting on the sofa without saying a word, Tang Huai put down the panda doll and thought about what to do next.If the group of "Sword Skills" are efficient enough, they will be able to gather enough people to challenge the supernatural beings in the high-tech zone in four or five days at most. Before that, he needs to step on the spot, and get some useful intelligence.

Uncle Jiu didn't have so many worries, he flipped through the book and said happily, "Let me show you how his brain grows." He flipped a page casually, and passed the cover in front of Miao Xia, Uncle Jiu said, "It's just me. This book in hand, page 120." He opened the page to Tang Huai as he spoke.

Miao Xia was memorizing while grilling meat, Tang Huai glanced at the page, and Miao Xia was correct in every word.

Uncle Jiu turned another page: "Page [-]."

Miao Xia recited it again, also word for word.

Uncle Jiu tore up the book in twos and threw it into the stove to add fire. He couldn't help rubbing Miao Xia's head again, his excitement was beyond words: "Hey, how about being my son!"

Miao Xia didn't agree immediately, she finished grilling the meat skewers seriously, and handed the meat to Tang Huai: "Master."

Tang Huai took it and tasted a piece. The roasted meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a scorched aroma, which matched his taste: "Yeah. Teach him well."

In a hurry, Uncle Jiu stuffed two skewers of raw meat into Miao Xia's hands: "Wrap it on me!" Compared to eating with Tiaozi every day, it's more at ease to raise a cub to cook by himself!

As night fell quietly, Tang Huai led Miao Xia into the back room and sat down by the bed.Seeing Tang Huai's neat clothes, Miao Xia understood. She climbed onto the bed with her eyes downcast, hugged the panda doll and closed her eyes.

Tang Huai didn't leave in a hurry, but pulled the quilt over his shoulders: "Wait until you fall asleep."

Miao Xia felt relieved, she didn't use so much force while holding the panda doll, and changed to a comfortable sleeping position.

In the middle of the night, a figure lightly jumped to the top of a building, and the sound it made when it landed was softer than the sound of a grain of dust falling.

Tang Huai looked around carefully, aiming at one direction and jumping up again.

Ten minutes later, he quietly sneaked into a building that was lit all night.

According to the clues that everyone has gathered so far, the supernatural beings in the high-tech zone have repaired a hydroelectric power station in a tributary of a big river not far from the town, which supplies power to some facilities in the high-tech zone of Shanghai.Referring to what was observed after Shi Mingjie was taken away by the cadre of the mysterious organization in the past, the mysterious organization related to the disaster seems to have scientific research power beyond the current technological level.Within the entire high-tech zone, more than [-]% of the electrified area.

This power supply area sounds small, but in fact, there are more than a dozen commercial buildings, government facilities, and a number of luxury residential buildings, so the living conditions of the superhumans here are much better than other areas. .The only problem is that the water supply system cannot be rebuilt in a short period of time, so that most of the supernatural beings here have to go to the river to get water.

The number of supernatural beings was limited, and the entire high-tech zone seemed empty, especially inside the building.Tang Huai went to the monitoring room as soon as he arrived at the building, quietly knocked down a supernatural person in charge of monitoring with the magic nail, and observed the situation of the whole building through the monitoring room.

Seeing a familiar figure from a certain screen, Tang Huai couldn't help but stop his gaze. At this moment, Tang Ming in the screen raised his head, smiled at the camera, and made a mouth--

"Come down and meet me."
