[Infinite Stream] Destiny Rubik's Cube

The black starry sky hangs high above the snowfield with jumping white spots, and the wind blows in through the crack of the door, soaking in the strong fishy and salty ocean smell.

The moment he regained his consciousness, the piercing pain in the back of his head pierced his spinal cord like an ice pick. He slowed down, opened his eyes, and the world turned upside down.First, he saw the tip of Xu Chi's chin, going up to touch those dark eyes.The skin on the opponent's face was like thin pale dead fibers, wrapped around the thin skull, and the lip line was stretched straight.

"Hey, you look like a living dead who just crawled out of a coffin." Zhou Qi twitched the corners of his mouth, joking, and his temples throbbed.

He is now hanging upside down from the beams, his collar, neck, and even his jaw are all stained with dried blood.This means that the guy who knocked him out with a stick hit him hard.

Xu Chi's condition was not much better, his hands and feet were tied with hemp rope, and he sat in a corner with his head tilted up.

The natives obviously thought that Zhou Qi's force value was higher, so they only hung him up. Xu Chi, a sick man, could not make any waves by himself, so he could avoid the laborious link of hanging upside down.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qi felt a little proud.

The sick man coughed, and rarely said a word of concern: "You bleed a lot, are you okay?"

"I can't die." Zhou Qi tried to move his hands that were cut behind his back. They were tied tightly. He was a little tired and didn't want to move, so he simply relaxed and asked, "What does the old guy mean by that? He's backtracking?"

"It's just a showdown." Xu Chi lowered his eyelids weakly, "Cooperation is fine, but you all have to listen to me. That's what it means."

Zhou Qi scolded his mother and looked around: "What place is this?"

"There seems to be aboriginal 'properties' everywhere on the slope. This is one of the stone houses, a little far from the Grand Canyon." Xu Chi was not knocked unconscious, and was sober all the way when he was held hostage.When Zhou Qi heard the stone house, his body tensed up subconsciously. Xu Chi comforted him, "Don't worry, our use value has been given. As long as old Hughes still wants to enter the upturned surface and survive, he will not take the risk of transforming us."

Zhou Qi had a splitting headache, mumbled, and asked, "Where are the two girls?"

"Prisoned in another room with other passers-by."

"How about the number of people?"

"With us, there are only ten left."

In other words, during their absence, four more people either died or were transformed.

Zhou Qi was silent.

After a while, he squeezed out words between his teeth: "Are you really going to help old Hughes kill all the moths?"

Xu Chi looked at him quietly, with no emotions to interpret in his eyes.

"To be honest, there is no right or wrong here, right?" The veins on Zhou Qi's forehead twitched, his eyes were red, "The moths are fighting for the children to restore the memories of the reborn passers. We helped the natives kill the moths before, basically The above is due to the narrow morality of the same race. Now that we have discovered that the essence of moths is also human, why do we have any reason to kill them? Besides, that old bastard Hughes doesn't treat us as his own at all, and stabs the knife in the back. It can be done, but it is more like an enemy than a moth. He is just using us, and in the end he will inevitably have to cross the river, tear down the bridge, dismantle the mill and kill the donkey. I, Zhou Qi, will not do such a thankless task!"

He said these words with a gun and a stick, obviously resentful of being put together.Young, angry, and normal.

"Whether or not to kill the moths is the second priority. We must first enter the upturned surface." Xu Chi still had that indifferent look, with no emotion in his voice, and no ups and downs, "Tomorrow, the sea level will submerge here, We have no other choice. As you can see, moths are very territorial, and if they are determined not to let us in, we can only kill them. In order to survive, gods block and kill gods, magic block and kill demons, no room for maneuver."

Zhou Qi raised his broken eyebrows high and cast a scrutinizing gaze, as if to say: So you are this kind of person, who will do anything to survive?

"Sorry, I always only pay attention to the interests of my own camp." Xu Chi closed his eyes, "Whether other people live or die is not in my consideration."

"Don't be sorry." Zhou Qi shifted his gaze, and his tone was a little blunt, "I feel very lucky to be classified in your 'own camp'."

The atmosphere sank, and the two stopped talking.

The sky was getting brighter, Zhou Qi hung upside down all night, just fell asleep when he was awakened by noisy voices, he was put down in a drowsy state, poured with cold water, before he opened his eyes, he was pushed and shoved hastily Hurry on the road.The legs were moving, but the consciousness was still in a deep sleep. It took a long time like sleepwalking before gradually waking up. After a big yawn, he looked down and found that the sea water had reached his ankles.

He was stunned, and poked the waist of the person next to him: "Are you wading in the water?"

Xu Chi seemed to give him a blank look: "You will be able to swim soon."

Zhou Qi realized later that it was the sea water coming up, and he couldn't help but be terrified.

Xu Chi was right last night, the rising sea level is menacing.

Their hands were tied and they were at the end, while Leng Qiu and the others were in the middle of the team, separated by several strong native men, who were responsible for keeping an eye on Zhou and Xu to prevent them from escaping.Zhou Qi and Ren Simiao exchanged eye contact for a while, it was too much effort, and finally gave up.

Swarms of moths were still hovering overhead.

After a whole day of driving in hiding, a group of people were exhausted, and finally found a dry habitat before nightfall.

As soon as his butt hit the ground, he took two mouthfuls of rough pancakes, and the civil and military shaman came in front of him proudly with two cronies.

"You said that you can only act at night, and now it's dark, what's your plan?" Old Hughes's golden eye was unrecognizable, like an old beast, shining fiercely in the night.

"Enter the Grand Canyon of the Middle Realm." Xu Chi sat without getting up, "Don't think about detours, there is no time at all."

"But moths..."

"Moths can't move at night." Zhou Qi answered, "Advanced into the canyon, there are other troublesome things besides moths on the upturned surface."

Old Hughes didn't seem to trust them very much, but he really had no other choice. He pondered for a while and could only obey.

In fact, they did cross the dead glade in front of the canyon without encountering a single moth.

Before entering the canyon, Xu Chi noticed something strange, squatted down, and observed the ground.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Qi looked down at the hair on top of his head.

Xu Chi's hair looks very smooth and has a good texture, which makes people want to rub it.

But just think about it.

"Look here." Xu Chi pointed to the newly grown grass on the ground.

"Grass, is there any problem?" Zhou Qi was immersed in the whirl, not paying attention, just said the words, and then realized the problem on his own, "Wait, isn't the climate on the slope so bad that no grass grows? Where did the grass come from?" ?”

"I don't know. The temperature is not that cold anymore." Xu Chi pointed out sensitively, "Is it the reason for the rising sea level?"

Zhou Qi scratched his head and forcefully explained: "Perhaps the inclined surface is also slightly less cold."

Xu Chi glanced at him.

Zhou Qi saw that he was a little restless.

After passing through the canyon, you will arrive at the upturned surface.

The magnificent and wonderful picture scroll unfolded unexpectedly in front of my eyes.

Everyone froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

"It turns out that the upturned face is so warm." Ren Simiao sighed from the bottom of his heart while taking off his heavy and damp coat, "It's amazing that there are two diametrically opposed ecosystems on the same island."

"This Grand Canyon in the Middle Realm is actually the watershed between heaven and hell." Leng Qiu muttered.

Old Hughes's lips trembled, and he became visibly excited. He babbled impassionedly and spoke a long series of aboriginal languages. Then he raised his hands up, and the aboriginals began to lower their voices and shouted "hoo hoo hoo" again.

Among these people, only Xu Chi and Zhou Qi looked serious, and they sensed something was wrong at the same time.

Within three feet of the exit of the canyon, all the vigorous flowers and plants were withered, the sand and soil were exposed, and the body temperature dropped a lot.Obviously, before going out yesterday, the upturned surface was still as warm as spring, but now it is approaching the temperature of early autumn.

Ren Simiao was admiring the Alice-in-Wonderland scenery, with one hand heavily on his shoulder.

"No matter what happens next, you and Leng Qiu will follow me and Xu Jiaojiao closely." Zhou Qi rubbed her back at some point and whispered to her.

Before Ren Simiao could ask anything, Zhou Qi turned his head and shouted at the shaman, "Old Hughes, I suggest you let us go."

Old Hughes turned around, his face full of joy of being saved from a desperate situation: "Give me a reason."

"With your people, the whole army will be wiped out within a short distance." Zhou Qi raised his chin proudly.

As soon as the words were finished, everyone felt the ground tremor under their feet.

"What the hell?"

"An earthquake? Or a tsunami?"

"Under the ground, there is something under the ground!"

——Shuashuashua, black and purple thorns broke through the ground, entangled the ankles of several people, and dragged them to the terrifying cracks in the earth!

The crowd suddenly exploded.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Wu Sha raised his knife and fell, and chopped off the thorny thorns wrapped around Old Hughes' calf, and blood gushed from Old Hughes' calf. He pointed at Zhou Qi and Xu Chi with a pale face, and ordered After two sentences, someone untied Zhou and Xu, and handed over the machete they used before.

Zhou Qi moved his stiff wrists and ankles, and without saying a word, he let out a long howl and split the giant vine that was looting towards Ren Simiao.The vine was as thick as a baby's arm, and a large amount of black pulp burst out when it was chopped, and the stump was still wriggling on the ground, which was extremely disgusting to watch.

Except for Zhou Qi and Xu Chi who had already seen the battle in front of them, the rest of the people were all terrified.After the initial chaos, people picked up weapons in the painful reality, overcame all obstacles and blazed a trail.

Zhou Qi and Xu Chi took the remaining passers-by as key protection targets, and gave Wu Shaman a helping hand when he had spare strength.There were a lot of people on the side of the natives, and they surrounded the old Hughes in the center and slowly pushed forward in concentric circles.

During the chopping process, doubts came to mind again.

Xu Chi's brows became tighter and tighter.

"Why do you feel that these things are not powerful tonight?" Zhou Qi also had a certain degree of intuitive feeling, and he muttered, "Could it be that he stayed up late and stayed up twice, and it's useless?"

Xu Chi chopped off two thorns with his backhand, and pulled Wang Jinjin who had tripped over the stone to his feet.Wang Qianjin said something to him, maybe thank you, but he didn't pay attention.

Indeed, the speed and density of these twigs are very different from before. They thought a fierce battle was inevitable, but now they easily saw the mother flower field.Combined with the previous visions of the entrances at both ends of the Grand Canyon in the Middle Realm, a cloud of uneasy suspicion gradually shrouded the top of the head.

There are various indications that there must be some major change brewing secretly.

Although the power of the thorns was greatly weakened, the natives still lost two men, one was pierced through the back of the heart by the thorns, and the other was entangled in his hands and feet and was twisted into pieces of flesh.

A lot of passers-by were injured, but at least they all saved their lives.Everyone supported each other and fell down in the flower field for a while to rest.

Ren Simiao kept running among the wounded, stopping the bleeding for one, bandaging the other, his clothes were soaked in blood, his hair was disheveled, he only held a piece of cloth loosely on his arm.

She mechanically performed repeated bandaging movements, and the scene in front of her eyes slowly merged with the battlefield in her nightmare.

Gunpowder smoke, shells, flowing fire, and screams continued.

Viscous blood pooled into a pool, and the broken arms and limbs were twisted and twisted together, making it impossible to tell who belonged to whom.There was a smell of burnt flesh everywhere, and there were corpses everywhere, piled up in mountains. She had a numb expression, wore a mask, and walked over one by one with a first-aid kit on her shoulders.

"Hey! Are you still alive?"

"can you hear me?"

"Don't say your last words, I won't listen! After you survive... Hey! Hey!"

She walked for a long time, from one side of the battlefield to the other. The anesthetic was exhausted, the tourniquet was exhausted, and she was holding the empty first-aid kit, desperately confirming the deaths one after another.Her white clothes were stained with blood, she was like a lonely ghost on the battlefield.

"Sister Ren, Sister Ren, Sister Ren!" The girl's crisp voice pierced her eardrums, Ren Simiao came back to her senses, there was a fog in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see the girl's worried face clearly.

"What's wrong?" She smiled and opened her eyes wide, waiting for the wetness and soreness in her eye sockets to recede.

"I should ask you this question! What's wrong with you?" Leng Qiu carefully pulled her to sit down, "I called you several times just now, but you didn't seem to be able to hear you, and you looked like you lost your soul."

"I'm just a little tired." Ren Simiao perfunctory.

"I think so, you should take a rest, everyone's injuries, big or small, have been bandaged one by one by you, and you are the only one left!"

"Me?" Ren Simiao blinked.

"Here!" Leng Qiu took her arm and pressed it gently.

"Ah!" Ren Simiao finally sensed the belated pain, took a deep breath, looked down, and found that there was an inch-long wound on the outer side of the upper arm at some point, not deep, but the flesh turned out slightly. ugly.

Leng Qiu snatched the tourniquet made by Doctor Ren and bandaged her. Doctor Ren's pain revived and he became hypocritical.

"Wow, it hurts, it hurts, take it easy!"

Leng Qiu sighed, eyes dim: "Do you know it hurts now?"

"I'm not a strong man like Zhou Qi, why don't I know it hurts?" Ren Sizhen's face turned pale from the pain, and exaggeratedly complained, "Wow! You have no heart, you are too ruthless!"

Leng Qiu couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm already very light, so the doctor is so afraid of pain..."

Ren Simiao looked at her, Leng Xiaoqiu's small face was extremely serious, and when cleaning the wound, she would pout her mouth to help blow, so cute.At this time, a thought rushed out of her mind to avoid the pain - if her younger sister was still alive, she would be around Leng Qiu's age.

She was a taciturn child. Because of her high IQ, she was called a child prodigy since she was a child, but the title of child prodigy did not bring her a happy childhood.Facts have proved that people who are too smart are naturally difficult to integrate into the group. She has no playmates of the same age and is always alone. She either hides in the study and reads some obscure books, or lies in the courtyard in a daze.The family relationship is also weaker than ordinary people. My parents are very busy and are always working overtime on scientific research. My sister is studying abroad all year round.

She deserves to be alone, and yes, she is.

How lonely is it? Two full days passed after the child and the nanny disappeared before the family members realized something was wrong, rushed home, called the police, and even felt sad and sad.

During the war, a large number of missing persons were reported in this country every day, and among them, even corpses were rarely found.

Hope gradually cools down in the day after day of waiting, but remorse grows wildly in the corner.

In this way, the child's name became a taboo in the family.

name……

Ren Simiao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his expression was blank and confused for a moment.

What is the child's name?Ren, Ren...

The chill suddenly shot up from the soles of his feet, Ren Simiao suddenly reached out, grabbed Leng Qiu's arm, and tightened it.Leng Qiu felt the pain, and frowned lightly.

No, she would never forget her sister's name.

Memory, there is a problem with memory!
