I take skeletons to the apocalypse

Jing Lan's overdrawn state lasted for a day, and the situation finally stabilized.Fell into a deep slumber.

In his sleep, he was still holding on to a bone of Xia Xi's hand.It seemed that he was afraid of accidentally releasing it, and the person ran away.

Xia Xi kept watch for a day and a night, and she was extremely tired. After Chao Mo said that she was safe, she breathed a long sigh of relief and fell asleep.

Although he does not need to eat, he still needs to rest after mental fatigue.

When the time came to the afternoon of the third day, they were still on their way.

Xia Xituan was sitting on the seat, the two purple soul fires in his eye sockets were extinguished, quietly sitting beside the car window like an unconscious skeleton, the skull leaned against the upper window, and with every bump and the sound of the window There was a slight crash.He has been in this posture since he fell asleep yesterday, and he did not get out of the car overnight.I have been sleeping until now, and I look very tired.

On the other side of the carriage, Jing Lan sat with long hands and long legs, her head leaned back, and she was also soundly asleep.

Jing Lan woke up earlier than Xia Xi. When he opened his eyes, his first reaction was to look around. When he saw the motionless silver skull, he took a slight breath: "He..."

Chao Mo glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "I should have fallen asleep. I was exhausted after watching you the day before yesterday."

Hearing that he just fell asleep, Jing Lan relaxed, and then felt that he was holding something in his hand. When he looked down, it was a piece of silver bone. He turned to look at Xia Xi, and found that his right hand was below the elbow. empty.

"When you were unconscious yesterday, you grabbed the black crow's arm and refused to let go, so he had to take off his arm and give it to you." Chao Mo explained for him, recalling all the abnormal behaviors of Jinglan, guessed: "Have you known each other before?"

Jing Lan lowered her eyes and didn't answer.

Naturally, they knew each other, but according to Xia Xi's previous attitude, he probably didn't want the relationship between the two to be announced.

But instead of leaving while he was unconscious, he took care of himself for a day.Thinking of this, Jing Lan rolled his Adam's apple up and down, and even smacked out a bit of sweetness.

Chaomo has long been used to Jinglan ignoring some of his questions, and Jinglan will do this when he encounters a question that he doesn't want to talk about, so he wisely doesn't ask any more.He just said: "We have now left the boundary of Lanshu City and are driving in the direction of Tianming Base."

Jing Lan nodded.He leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, sorting out what happened during this period.

The black crow is Xia Xi, he is not dead, but he just doesn't want to admit his identity.It doesn't matter, as long as he is still alive, it is the greatest good news for him.

Liu Peng died. When he was enduring mental overdraw yesterday, he heard the conversation between Xia Xi and Chao Mo in a daze, saying that Liu Peng died in the research institute when he was extorting a confession.

Zou Qing is a reformer, and he never thought that this technology would be officially promoted and applied in this life.This means that anyone, as long as they can afford the money, can have abilities even if they don't have abilities, or even have dual-line abilities.Even if the body breaks down, you can change your body and continue to squander.

This is a technology that the dignitaries in Jingting City desire most, and it will completely reduce ordinary people and supernatural beings at the bottom to commodities that provide bodies and supernatural crystal nuclei.

But Jing Lan is more concerned about another matter right now. He asked Chaomo: "What do you think about the fifth-level supernatural material?"

Chao Mo steered the steering wheel, looking at the road ahead, his eyes turned blue.To be honest, the night he heard the news, he lost sleep.But then he regained his composure from the shock and felt that things might not be as bad as he thought.

"I don't think this kind of thing can be mass-produced by the Jingting City Research Institute. Otherwise, they would have armed their teams and ruled the entire apocalypse by relying on the two-level grade. I am more inclined to have only one of this thing. Research The doctor at the institute knew that we were coming to trouble the Chosen One, so he hid the only spider guard here, and then used clover as bait to lure us in. He planned to catch us all."

Jing Lan: "But even if only one level [-] tarantula is created, the danger level of the other party is far beyond our expectations."

Gu Ming echoed with concern: "That's right, their speed is too fast, even if they keep the memories of their previous life, the materials for research are not so easy to obtain, it's simply incomprehensible."

"Indeed." Chao Mo nodded in agreement.

When Jing Lan talked about the Jingting City Research Institute, she showed a bit of determination: "Let them develop, we will only become more passive, and we can no longer sit still. I plan to sneak into Jingting City to search for clues and find out the identity of the fifth-level tarantula. the truth."

Gu Ming exclaimed when he heard the words: "You are crazy, isn't it a trap for you to go to Jingting City? The doctor must have laid a net there and waited for you to send it up."

Following Gu Ming's shout, there was the sound of bones colliding next to Jing Lan.

Jing Lan turned her head to look at Xia Xi, her eyes softened.

The sleepy little skull turned over, opened and closed its mandible twice, as if smacking its lips, and then fell silent again.

Jing Lan stared at him for a while, then warned Gu Ming in a low voice: "Speak softly, you're disturbing him."

Gu Ming dared to be angry but shut up obediently.

Chao Mo tilted his head and glanced at Jing Lan from the rearview mirror, with a kind of teasing in his eyes of "you still say you don't know each other", but he took up the topic very naturally: "I don't recommend you go to Jing Lan in such a hurry. Ting City, the enemy’s situation is unknown now, it’s too dangerous to rush in rashly.”

Jing Lan retorted: "Letting them develop will only make them more passive."

Chaomo knew that Jing Lan had the right idea, so he couldn't persuade him.If he said too much, he would just leave without saying hello like last time.Instead of persuading him, he asked, "Then when do you plan to leave?"

Jing Lan glanced in Xia Xi's direction subconsciously again: "Wait until you get to the base."

It wasn't until he smelled the aroma of barbecue that Xia Xi's soul fire lit up unsteadily, turned around in his eyes, and looked at the barbecue grill on the campfire.

He opened the door and got out of the car.

"Are you awake?" Chao Mo greeted Xia Xi naturally, holding a long wooden stick with a delicious grilled fish in his other hand.

Xia Xi stared at the grilled fish, and responded slowly.

It smells so good, I want to eat it.

"Here you are." Jing Lan handed a wooden skewer for grilling fish to Xia Xi.

Xia Xi was taken aback, his vest had already been dropped in front of Jing Lan, and now the two of them just maintained a delicate state of not talking about it, which made him a little confused about how to face Jing Lan.

"No, I can't eat again."

"Save it to feed the crow." Jing Lan stuffed the stick into his hand, and glanced at the little crow with its neck stretched out on his shoulder.The longing in those eyes was exactly the same as his master.He even felt that crows were cute to Ai Wu and Wu Di.

Xia Xi didn't refuse, and held up a wooden stick to feed the little crow to eat bit by bit.The grilled fish is full of color and fragrance. Although Xia Xi didn't eat it in his mouth, he enjoyed it with his eyes and nose during the feeding process.

After feeding the crows, Xia Xi climbed up to a big rock and sat down. The people who watched the light-chasing team skillfully started to set up tents, sprinkled medicine to drive away mutant insects and animals nearby, and assigned vigil tasks.A little absent-minded.In fact, when Jinglan was talking to Chaomo during the day, he was already awake, but he just hid his soul fire.

It is a good thing for him that Jinglan is leaving, he doesn't have to worry about how to get along with Jinglan next.But why didn't I feel very happy in my heart.

"Here." Song Rui walked to Xia Xi's side holding the newly made cloak and gloves: "I don't have very good materials at hand, so I'll make you a body first, and I'll get better ones when we get to the base."

When Xia Xi took it, she found that Song Rui had even carefully prepared a pure white mask.

Even though it was in the form of a skeleton, Xia Xi didn't like the naked feeling, like running naked in front of people.It is much better to have clothes to wear.

"Thank you." Xia Xi put the cloak on her body, put on gloves and a mask, and wrapped herself tightly again, feeling comfortable all over.

"You're welcome." Song Rui said with a smile: "You got the antidote, and you are our Zhuguang's lifesaver. Whether you join the Zhuguang team or not in the future, you are one of your own. I still think this set is well done. It’s too ordinary, but unfortunately there are no convenient materials at hand, and I’m afraid that you are in a hurry to wear it, so I just use ordinary fabrics to make a look.”

Xia Xi tugged at the soft fabric on her body, the threads and stitches were extremely fine, and she could see the creator's intentions: "It's already very good."

"Actually, your bones are also pretty." Song Rui whispered again.

"Really?" Xia Xi laughed and said, "Your aesthetic is really unique."

Song Rui shook her head: "I'm not the only one who thinks that, everyone says so in private."

Xia Xi was taken aback, didn't she?He subconsciously turned his head to look at the crowd. Those familiar and unfamiliar in the convoy, even those whose names he couldn't name, all showed him friendly smiles.

This feeling of being accepted is a very fresh experience for Xia Xi. In Wuer Continent, necromancers have always been regarded as a symbol of evil and a terrifying existence.The acceptance of skeletons in this world is very high, perhaps because there are many monsters in the last days.

Late at night, the supernatural beings of the light-chasing team were resting in their respective tents, leaving only two night watchmen vigilantly patrolling the surroundings.

Xia Xi slept too much during the day, so she couldn't fall asleep at this time, and sat alone on the rock in a daze.

This is an open space near the highway, surrounded by open space, there is no moon tonight, but the stars are extraordinarily bright.

Xia Xi stared at the sky, a little lost in thought.

"Can't sleep?" An all too familiar voice fell in Xia Xi's ears.

Hearing it was Jinglan's voice, Xia Xi was taken aback for a moment, then slowly turned her head, secretly vigilant in her heart.Are you pretending not to know each other?What is this for?

"Can we talk?" Jing Lan asked again.

Xia Xi immediately refused, and said in a business-like tone: "There seems to be nothing to talk about between us, Mr. Jing Lan."

"I just want to apologize to you, Xia Xi." Jing Lan said, "I'm sorry, I should play dumb to the end, but... I will leave when the convoy arrives at the base. Before that, I want to make it clear to you I'm afraid that if I don't say anything, I won't have a chance in the future."

It turned out to be because of this.The will-o'-the-wisps burned quietly in Xia Xi's eyes. He didn't speak or move, acquiescing to Jing Lan's actions.

"You should know that I am a reborn person. In the life before rebirth, I did not meet you. Maybe it was because of too many conflicts in my memory, which caused me to temporarily lose the memory of the time I spent with you after rebirth."

Jing Lan said: "But no matter what, I shouldn't let you be in a dangerous situation, causing you to be kidnapped by Liu Peng, ignoring your pleading for help. I went to Zhang Yunhan and Liu Peng, and I know that during that time you I have suffered a lot, if it weren’t for you having such a special ability, maybe you would have died. I’m sorry.”

Xia Xi recalled that time, at that time he was really angry with Jing Lan, but what was angry was not that Jing Lan didn't go to him, but that Jing Lan spoiled him from a stubborn stray cat to a delicate domestic cat .Let yourself believe in him, rely on him, let yourself gradually degrade in the ability to survive during those three years, but he left himself when the danger came.

Xia Xi hates being left behind, and even more hates herself being helpless in the face of danger.

Xia Xi heard Jing Lan say again: "I don't expect your forgiveness. It doesn't matter if you want to be a black crow or Xia Xi. It doesn't matter if you pretend you don't know me. I can return to the position of a stranger. But I hope that if someone You can tell me what I can do for you. If you need help, you can tell me. Anything, I am willing to help you do it.”

Hearing this, Xia Xi finally opened her mouth without any questioning, grievance or anger, but just stated lightly: "But I don't want to do this. I don't want you to do anything for me in a gesture of redemption, Jing Lan , you don't owe me anything."

Jing Lan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he patiently waited for Xia Xi to finish.

The silver skull raised its head halfway, the purple soul fire and the distant starlight shone in the distance: "I didn't know at first, but I found out later, the sudden change in your attitude is due to amnesia. As a stranger, there is nothing wrong with your choice at that time I'm just your boyfriend in name, with unknown background and suspicious identity. You left me and left to save your little uncle. It was a perfectly normal choice. You didn't know that Liu Peng was coming for revenge, let alone, They will mistake me for you kidnapping me, so you are not subjectively trying to hurt me. The one who hurt me is the person who kidnapped me, and I will not blame you."

Jing Lan didn't expect that Xia Xi would take the initiative to defend him.Although he doesn't think he is as innocent as Xia Xi said, does his willingness to forgive himself mean that he still has hope?This made Jing Lan's eyes brighten up, and a little bit of hope was ignited.

But Xia Xi's next words poured cold water on him: "You don't need to apologize. But please don't put on an affectionate gesture in the future to treat me well, let alone risk your life to protect me. I I'm already tired of the love game between us, and I don't want to continue."

Jing Lan's throat was a little dry, and he repeated in a loud voice: "Love... a game?"
