"Enemy reinforcements are coming!" the G28 said in a communication.

Patrick left to deal with the enemy sent to search, and only a dozen minutes later, a second team arrived.

"It's dangerous," said the madman, "but luckily it was in time, and it went according to the original plan." ”

Mondstadt gripped the steering wheel and swallowed. He glanced at the tightly wrapped subject sisters in the back seat, then returned his gaze to the checkpoint in front of him.

The roads are heavily jammed, and the Servitan Self-Defense Forces at checkpoints are checking every vehicle to prevent so-called "terrorists" from entering densely populated areas.

Behind him, there was a firelight from the desert, followed by explosions and shockwaves that shook the windows. Soon, the checkpoint was like a dam bursting its banks, and the traffic rushed out and fled the scene.

Mondstadt followed the traffic, and the Servitian Self-Defense Forces at the checkpoint moved to the site of the explosion.

"Ump40, we passed without a hitch. Mondstadt said.

"That's good, it's just started here, you can buy a little more time. Ump40 replied, and the sound of gunfire from the communicator backed up her claims.

"Don't force it too hard. ”

"What? Don't trust your own team members, or do you make a turret with moisture?"

"No......" Mondstadt didn't want them to die needlessly, even though he knew that they were tactical humanoids and that their bodies were just consumables.

"Just kidding~ Good luck to you. ”

Communication was interrupted, and I couldn't connect again. Self-Defense Forces helicopter gunships often fly through the air, and groups of off-road vehicles patrolling the road, or even an outpost or a small military base, rise up in the vast desert, and countless searchlights illuminate the distance as bright as daytime.

Mondstadt understood that Servitan's use of high-density military force had achieved the goal of maintaining stability and peace for the people, but the current situation was very unfavorable for them.

As the night wore on, there were fewer and fewer cars on the road, and Mondstadt had been following the route left by the madness for almost an hour. Just as he was about to lose his patience, they finally left the road and turned onto a small hill. The four huts in front of them form a miniature village, which is probably the foothold that Mad has prepared for them.

Mondstadt and Superdwarf got out of the car first and went to check on the house. There was no one in the house, and the doors, though locked, were rusty enough to be smashed open with a little force.

"This is the safe place to spend the night?" complained Noyero, "enough of a barren desert environment, and you still need to live in a place like this?"

"What do you think we stand for......" said Mondstadt, "tourism?"

"At least we have something to complain about, don't you say? ”

I don't accept complaints......

Noyeru didn't hear a response, and looked back to find that Jeffrey was asleep in the back seat.

"Huh, asleep?"

"I'm tired," Mondstadt said, the corners of his mouth rising inadvertently, "I collapsed on the bed after talking to Owen, but I haven't rested since I came out." ”

"Hmph-no way, who told this ghost place that even people's hearts live in ghosts. Noyelu confided in her displeasure, and turned to leave, "I'll open the door, and you send my sister into the house." ”

"I'm coming?"

"Yes, I've given you the chance," Noyeru stopped abruptly, clasping her hands over her chest, and he could imagine how her blush would be, even if Mondstadt couldn't see it, "after all, you're ...... That one...... Future ...... Brother-in-law ......"

Hey, don't say it if you feel ashamed yourself, and the more you say it, the quieter it becomes......

However, Noyeru had already burrowed into one of the rooms and was nowhere to be seen.

Mondstadt didn't rush to get Jeffetti inside, but cleaned it up a bit. When he came back again, he accidentally looked at Jeffrey's sleeping appearance.

Although it was not the first time he had seen it, he had always been fascinated by such a serene Jefuti, so that he did not dare to touch her for fear of disturbing her.

Perhaps it was because she was sleeping uncomfortably, and her brow furrowed slightly, and then her blue eyes slowly opened.

"Hmm......" Realizing that Mondstadt was looking at her, Jefuti's first reaction was extremely small, not even reacting, except that her cheeks were slightly red.

"Sorry to wake you up?" Mondstadt quickly stepped away, scratching his head, realizing his faux pas.

"No......" Jeffetti sat up as well, "It's okay, I fell asleep unconsciously." ”

Both of them lowered their gazes to avoid looking at each other, but the atmosphere turned out to be even more awkward.

"Uh......"

"So...... Thank you ......."

Huh, what are you thanking for?

Mondstadt couldn't take it anymore, and if anyone saw them, they would laugh for the rest of their lives.

"It's getting late," Mondstadt finally decides to forget about the scene for a while, "and get some rest." ”

At his persuasion, Jeffetti nodded in agreement, and her seemingly heavy legs finally left her seat.

Mondstadt accompanied her into the house, put down her things, and turned to go out.

"Wait, Mondstadt, I'm ......," Jeffetti stopped him, and stopped talking again.

"What's the matter?"

"Sleep, I'm not very sleepy...... Just words to speak...... Also ......"

Abnormal, so abnormal. Gefti rested her hands on her closed knees, her shoulders slightly hunched, and her face flushed as if she had drunk.

"Yes, yes, what do you want to say?"

Mondstadt himself wanted to admire himself, and he resisted the urge to come up and hug her, and spoke. It's not a dangerous move, but it's better to keep it right.

It seemed that Jie Futi also realized that she was out of order, took a few deep breaths, and returned to her calm normalcy.

"Sit next to me. ”

"Oh, what a ......"

Mondstadt sat down as she said, his movements not stiffening as his heartbeat eased. With his hands propped up on the bed and leaning back slightly, he was in a relaxed position to allow him to speak better.

"It's not like then, Mondstadt. Jeffetti said with a slight smile, "I always feel that a lot has changed, and I am ...... too."

"Ah, this kind of change is probably quite normal," Mondstadt recalls the time when they first met, the days when they staggered through the snowy mountains, "and it was just to survive, there was nothing else to think about, unlike now, the conditions are much better." ”

"Hmmm......"

"Of course, you also have a lot of responsibility. You have a lot of power in your hands, and you have a lot of choices to think about, after all, your decisions will sustain the fate of thousands of humans and humanoids, and even the direction of the whole world......"

"Yes......"

"Honestly, you were frighteningly bold back then. To avoid a heavier conversation, Mondstadt quickly changed the subject.

Looking at the eyes of Jefuti, it seemed to recall how she got up from the snow and lifted Mosin Nagant to snipe at the enemy in the distance.

"What do you think...... Which is better?"

"Uh...... For me, it doesn't matter. Mondstadt smiled, trying to keep his emotions in check, "It's up to you to decide, because you're the key to guiding the times, and your words and deeds affect every possibility, and maybe he sees your possibilities and entrusts you with everything that has been laid out." After all, he was a warrior, and all he could do was raise his shield and swing his sword. ”

"Patrick Flo?" asked Jeffrey.

"Well, it's better to say that only you are suitable for this position, only you can do it, and create the future he wants in his heart. "So you just have to make the choices and decisions, and we'll take care of the rest, and if you're tired, just count on us." ”

"Yes...... "Gefti closed her eyes reassuringly, "thank you, Mondstadt. ”

"Well, good night. ”
