Chapter 4 Lift the clouds and see the sunrise
While Xi Yunyun was packing up the baby items she needed on the road at home, the outside world was undergoing earth-shaking changes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The magical humans and countless monsters that appeared on the earth through the Antarctic black hole are appearing in front of the survivors in large numbers, changing the worldview of the earthlings and bringing countless disasters and chaos.
Unbelievable to all this, she was busy stuffing the family's biggest hiking bag with diapers, milk powder, baby bottles, portable kettles, tissues and other baby products. After much hesitation, she stuffed a large bottle of mineral water into the remaining space and discarded the expensive imported breast pump.
The hiking bag full of things is very heavy, and you have to carry a small yu. Thinking of the inevitable hardships on the road, Xi Yunyun sighed, but he was not too sad, but was busy cooking. Fortunately, I had some ingredients at home, and I found a small gas tank stove for survival in the wilderness in the mountaineering bag. Her logic is that since you want to exert yourself, you have to eat well first.
Xi Yunyun's calmness made Zhou Wensen admire him very much, but now that the sky has completely darkened, it is not time to leave, and the instructions from the headquarters have not yet arrived, so they can rest at home for the time being. Because the flashlight was taken by Xi Yunyun to the kitchen for lighting, the living room was dark, the well-fed baby began to sleep again, the smell of stir-fried food came out, and the atmosphere suddenly became very homely, which made Zhou Wensen a little novel. From a very young age, he was a man.
Just when the three of them were enjoying the moment of silence, a beep sounded on him, it was a communicator. He quickly picked it up and checked, the communicator looked like an old-fashioned mobile phone, large and thick, but the screen resolution was very high, and it used a specific satellite network to transmit information, fast and accurate, which was almost a magic weapon in this last days.
There were small words on the screen, Xi Yunyun curiously leaned in to look at it, and Zhou Wensen didn't stop it, but when she saw the full screen of English, she sighed and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. It's not that I can't read it, but it's too tiring to watch, and Zhou Wensen is too fast to read.
A large part of the message from Headquarters was a description of the changes taking place around the world and the causes of the catastrophe that had been speculated by the Panel of Experts and the top of the peacekeeping force. Zhou Wensen flipped through the screen, his brows furrowed, because most of the words passing in front of him were full of negative energy words such as cataclysm, destruction, and death, and human beings seemed to be almost at the end of their rope. However, there are some dry goods in the second half of the article that make him refreshed and slow down and look serious.
On the one hand, their communication system is advanced, and on the other hand, they can collect the information sent back by soldiers distributed all over the world, so that they can understand the situation at the first time. On the other hand, and more importantly, there is a direct exchange of information with the magical terrans.
It turned out that after the magic firmament descended on Earth, a mysterious organization took the initiative to contact United International. They claim to be an alliance of magicians from the Otherworld, and want to tell some news about the Terrans on Earth.
After learning about the current situation on Earth, the newly arrived Wizards Alliance felt that the most suitable representative of the human organization to contact him was United International, so he sent a statement letter to the past, briefly explaining the fact that the Magical Sky and the Continent of Life had descended on Earth, and the possible impact. Although the statement is simple, it has finally given a ray of light to the human world that has been plunged into the vast darkness, and the peacekeepers are carefully studying the contents of the statement letter to find ways to deal with it.
Zhou Wensen digested strange words such as the Magic Firmament, the Continent of Life, the Alliance, the Magical Terran, and the Alien Monster in his mind, and corresponded them to the things and speculations he had just experienced one by one, feeling like he was reading a fantasy novel. However, the monster and the magic sword are all seen with his own eyes, and he has to believe it.
At the end of the message, there was a mission from the peacekeeping headquarters to Zhou Wensen. He was originally subordinate to the European headquarters, but at this time he was in Hua'anguo, of course, it was not so easy to go back, and the old leader of the current headquarters asked him to directly obey the command of the head of the Hua'anguo branch. Fortunately, this branch is located in one of the more than a dozen less damaged cities in Hua'an Kingdom, Songsha City, which has not experienced a devastating blow and can operate normally, and it is not far from Y City to Songsha City.
Zhou Wensen was thinking about what to do next, Xi Yunyun, who simply fried two dishes and ordered two bowls of noodles, beckoned him to eat in the dining room, and took out a bottle of expensive red wine. She wanted to take it away anyway, and she wouldn't drink it for nothing. The two sat down face to face, and they were not polite, but buried themselves in eating.
Xi Yunyun has a physique that blushes whenever she drinks, but fortunately, she can't see clearly at the moment, because she is opening a good wine that she is usually reluctant to drink, she is a little greedy. Xi Yunyun decided that although he was in the last days, he would have to live a good day if he lived. In a daze, she heard the footsteps of some behemoth approaching on the dark street, and her heart was startled, and when she looked at Zhou Wensen, the flashlight had been turned off by him.
"Shhhh ā
The sound of approaching footsteps trembled the road, sounding much heavier than the footsteps of the Thorntooth Monster they had just met, and they knew that the thing that was approaching must be huge. Xi Yunyun's heart was beating violently, almost jumping out of her throat, she was afraid that Xiao Yu would suddenly wake up and cry and lure the monster over.
Fortunately, the footsteps faded away, and the sound of a pile of rubble falling could be heard in the distance, and the screams of an unknown animal. Xi Yunyun finally regained the feeling of home, but at this time she suddenly realized that this was just an illusion, her home was long gone, and after dawn, she had to leave, facing countless unknown dangers, helpless. Perhaps particularly vulnerable after drinking, she began to cry silently in the dark.
The light of the flashlight turned on again, and Zhou Wensen, who saw her crying, was a little surprised, thinking that she was frightened just now, so he comforted: "There is no danger for the time being, let's finish the meal first." Then he thought about it and told her what he had just seen on the communicator to distract her, which was not a secret anyway.
"Magic Firmament?" Xi Yunyun muttered and repeated, feeling that he was listening to a mythological story, but as soon as his attention was distracted, the fragility and sadness just now disappeared, and the whole person became energetic.
"Since there is an alliance of magicians, it means that we are not fighting alone against these monsters, but we will have helpers, right?"
Zhou Wensen hummed in the dark, feeling that she was quite good at grasping the key points, and said: "But you can't completely rely on these magic human races and alliances, first, I don't know how many of them there are, and now they are scattered all over the world, I don't know where to start, and secondly, their strength is also limited, otherwise there can't be so many alien beasts on the continent, if the strength is strong, the monsters would have been wiped out a long time ago." In short, they can help at best, but they cannot guarantee the absolute safety of the people of the planet. ā
There is another point that he thought about and didn't say, why did the magic firmament come to the earth? Is that alliance friend or foe? You can't completely trust them just because the other party takes the initiative to show goodwill, Zhou Wensen has been a peacekeeper for so many years, and the agent intuition cultivated by wandering on the edge of life and death all year round tells him that things are not so simple. However, at present, he has no way to further speculate on the truth, so he doesn't want to scare Xi Yunyun by saying it, so let her immerse herself in fantasy stories.
The more Xi Yunyun thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling that he had entered a doomsday game, or a VR effect, although it was life-threatening, but exciting. She was so optimistic because she thought that she and Zhou Wensen had both picked up mysterious weapons.
"Do you think this sword will have magical powers?" she asked, looking at the big sword standing against the wall.
"Maybe. However, if it is an alien thing, it is most likely driven by magic to exert its power, but unfortunately we are all earthlings, and we don't know how to use magic, and we can only use it as a general weapon. ā
Zhou Wensen's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Xi Yunyun's head, she was immediately very disappointed, why didn't she think of it? Originally, she walked over and wanted to pick up the sword to feel the magic power, but after being discouraged, she just touched the sword body casually.
Unexpectedly, the grooves on the sword suddenly lit up, and a gentle purple light overflowed, illuminating most of the room. At first, she thought that she had hit a switch, but suddenly realized that it was not a household appliance, but a magic sword, and immediately took a few steps back in surprise. The purple light was extinguished in a moment.
"I thought this sword was going to unleash some kind of magic, it seems to have absorbed a lot of lightning before. Xi Yunyun was a little frightened, she was really scared to death of the baby.
"Don't touch this sword yet, it's unclear whether the alien's magic is friend or foe. Zhou Wensen was also quite surprised in his heart, but what was certain was that this sword was an ordinary cold weapon in his hand, and the lightning ball that absorbed the cloud monster spit out before was also launched by the sword itself, and he didn't do anything. It is certain that Xi Yunyun's physique is different from him in some ways.
In order to save electricity, Xi Yunyun turned off the flashlight after changing the child's diaper and packing the hiking bag, and then sat down on the end of the sofa. Because she was afraid of danger approaching, she didn't want to lie down and sleep too hard, and was ready to pick up the child and flee at any time.
Wensen Zhou was sitting on the other end of the sofa, pretending that she was falling asleep quickly, not wanting to embarrass him. It's not that her family is too small and only has a sofa, but she is afraid, and she will feel at ease when she sits next to him. With so many things happening, her mind has been in a state of excitement, but she can't stand her overly tired body, and she soon sees Zhou Gong.
After being woken up by Xiao Yu's crying, Xi Yunyun was pleasantly surprised to find that the sky was bright, and he had only slept for more than four hours after looking at his watch. The door was opened, and it was Zhou Wensen who came in, and he went out to investigate the situation as soon as it was dawn. The situation in Y City is not optimistic, so he is ready to hit the road as soon as possible.
Unbeknownst to them, the entire country of Hua'an had been shrouded in darkness before, due to a thick cloud of dust created by the eruption of a giant volcano located in the western part of the border. It is common sense that these dust clouds can cover the surface for several months before they dissipate naturally, and the consequence of the obscuring of sunlight is a colder climate and everything withering. Fortunately, the alliance of magicians who had just arrived on Earth took action and used a large amount of magic to disperse the dust clouds, which amazed the earthlings. Only the top management of the United International knew about the alliance's move this time, and understood that the aliens were showing friendship to the earthlings. Although there is still a lot of uncertainty about the Alliance, humanity has gradually let down its guard.
Xi Yunyun quickly finished rectifying and was going to go to Z City as written on his parents' message note, while Zhou Wensen was going to Songsha City, where the peacekeeping force branch was located, because he would pass through Z City, so he decided to send Xi Yunyun and her mother and son over first, as a thank you for the delicious dinner she cooked.
