Because they had gone deep into the desert, before dawn, the two could not find a village or town where they could stay, so they could only spend the scorching heat in a wolf's den under a sand dune.

In contrast, marching at night is indeed much better than being exposed to the scorching sun.

The point is, when exposed to the scorching sun, the heat will evaporate a lot of water, and in the desert, the most difficult to find is natural water sources. Military rations are able to provide the body with the calories it needs, but not much water. If the body is dehydrated, even superpowers will not be able to get out of the desert.

Just like yesterday, Chu Tianjiang took the initiative to take on the task of vigilance.

"Don't you have to sleep?"

Chu Tianjiang glanced back at Laika, then shook his head and said, "I'm not very tired yet, if necessary, I can be out of sight for a few days and nights." ”

"It seems that you are an energetic person, and he is exactly the same."

"How long have you lived together?"

"Twelve years, twelve years, three months, and twenty-two days to be exact." Laika put away the empty bag of military rations. "It was the happiest time, but at that time, I didn't cherish it at all, and I didn't know what a happy woman I was."

Chu Tianjiang turned his head again and looked at Laika with puzzlement.

"He loves me very much, takes care of me, and thinks about me in everything, but I don't understand, thinking that he is restraining me, restricting my freedom, and often quarrels with him about it, causes trouble for him, and even deliberately hides it, so that he spends a lot of time looking for it." Laika's expression was calm, but her tone was a little shaky. "I don't know why Lu Dao did this, maybe he was too good to me and made me very self-righteous."

"That's because you're too small."

Laika smiled reluctantly and said, "Maybe, I was only in my twenties at the time, I was full of curiosity about everything, I had high requirements for life, and I didn't know how to cherish the people and things around me. It's a pity that by the time I learned this, I had lost everything. ”

"He's dead?"

"No, I don't know." Laika paused for a moment and said, "It was one night more than ten years ago, we were in Burning Sun City, and we had a big rich man on our feet. That guy has enough assets to buy a hundred fertility indicators. Does it mean anything? Equivalent to the savings of fifty couples for a lifetime. He devised a perfect plan, taking into account all aspects of his life, to ensure that we would be able to escape without suspicion or trouble. Unfortunately, I didn't follow his plan, but took it upon myself to take what I shouldn't have taken, and as a result, we were hunted down and had to flee to Yanyang City. ”

"And then?"

"We fled into the desert, in the same environment as here. Although he had already prepared for this, he had brought enough food and water, and some equipment to survive in the desert. But I kept complaining, complaining all the way that he wasn't planning well enough, and didn't recognize the mistakes he had made. We fled in the desert for half a month, ate all the food we had prepared, and ran out of water. ”

Chu Tianjiang squatted down and got closer.

That night, he said that there were desert wolves nearby, and if we could hunt a desert wolf, we would have enough food to get out of the desert. At that time, we were hiding in one of these caves. After lulling me to sleep, he went out. Laika's eyes moistened, and she became a little emotional. However, he never came back, and just disappeared from me. ”

With that, Laika began to cry, tears to be exact.

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, grabbed Laika's shoulder, and gently tugged in front of him. Laika didn't refuse, and lay on Chu Tianjiang's chest.

Obviously, it was better for Laika to cry at this time.

After crying for a while, Laika calmed down a little.

"I've been looking for him for eleven years." Laika touched away her tears, looked at Chu Tianjiang's eyes, and said, "I know that he is not dead yet, he is definitely alive, but for some reason he can't return to me, and he has even forgotten me." I want to find him, not to tell him this, but to let him know that I was wrong, I shouldn't be willful, I shouldn't be with him. ”

"Laika ......" Chu Tianjiang knew that Laika had already regarded him as that person.

"Chu, you say, if I find him, will he forgive me?"

"Yes, definitely."

"How do you know he'll forgive me?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment and said, "If I were him, I would forgive you, because I believe that a person who has done so many things for you must love you very much." No matter what you do, he will forgive you. Of course, if he is still alive, he will definitely do everything to return to you. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, because I'm also a man."

"So, if you were him, would you forgive me?"

"I'm not him."

"If you are."

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "I will." ”

Hearing Chu Tianjiang say this, Laika seemed to be better. "I've been investigating all these years. At that time, the rich man we dealt with had an extraordinary background, otherwise the military police of Burning Sun City would not have bitten us to death, so we had to flee into the desert. ”

"Background?"

"He is a distant relative of the commander of the Northern Military District."

"This ......"

"Because he cooperated with the military and provided the military with some military supplies, he was very rich, and he had a lot of ulterior secrets in his head."

"You mean ......"

"You know my superpowers. In the aftermath of the incident, Victor thinks we've revealed his secret, so he sends troops against us. The funny thing is that our purpose is only money, and we have no interest in the secrets between them, so we don't know about his relationship with Victor and what he has done for Victor. If I had just taken the money according to his arrangement, and had not trespassed into the fellow's mind and tried to find more treasure, I would not have gotten into trouble later, and he would not have left me for it. ”

"Laicra ......"

"I've been looking for him for eleven years, but I'm desperate. I couldn't find him, he didn't come back to me, all I could do was avenge him. ”

"If he were still alive......"

"Then avenge the suffering we have endured."

Chu Tianjiang was silent, he didn't know what to say.

In fact, Laika had long known that her lover had died eleven years earlier. At that time, he returned, and was seriously injured while hunting desert wolves. Importantly, he brought back enough food for Laika to get out of the desert. The problem is that getting out of the desert requires not only food, but also water. The remaining water is only enough for one person to walk to the nearest village or town. He left the food and left. The next day, Laika found him, but it was a lifeless corpse torn to pieces by an angry desert wolf.

These memories have been erased by Iscar. All Laika remembers is that he left, so he believes he is still alive.

Chu Tianjiang knew that it was cruel to do this, at least it was unfair to Laika. Suddenly, Chu Tianjiang even wanted to tell Laika that all she knew was a fabricated story. It's just that Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, because even if he said it, Laika wouldn't believe it.

In fact, this also explains why Laika didn't want to die for Rockwell. In turn, Laika is also using Rockwell for revenge. With her ability alone, it is impossible to deal with Victor, and she can't even get close to Victor, so she can't talk about revenge. For more than a decade, Laika has been looking for opportunities, and on several occasions she has almost died in the search for Victor. The war half a year ago gave Laika an opportunity. So she came to Storm City, and after discovering that Rockwell was a careerist, she joined the Storm Legion and showed Rockwell her superpowers, making Rockwell think she was a valuable pawn.

Interestingly, Laika hides her true strength.

In the eyes of others, Laika is only a level 5 enhanced superpower, but she is actually a modulator with superpowers, and she has reached at least level 3.

It was not only the imperial authorities that were able to concoct.

Although the last large-scale civil war occurred three hundred years ago, that is, after the empire began to restrict births, many people were seriously dissatisfied with this, which led to a rebellion within the empire, but in the next three hundred years, the empire's science and technology did not make much progress, especially in the field of biochemistry. During the war, some of the modulation equipment was taken away by the rebels and then scattered to various places. Even after three hundred years, as long as there is enough money, it is still possible to carry out superpower modulation in the underground organization. Of course, this requires a lot of money, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, even a person with superpowers like Laika may not be able to do it. What's more, there is a great risk that the underground organization will carry out modulation, and there is no guarantee of 100% success. For the vast majority of people, even a superpowered person like Laika may not be willing to spend money on a concoction without security.

In order to gain greater strength, Laika spent all of her savings for nearly a decade.

With more money, she could even become a Level 5 modulation superpower.

Of course, this also illustrates the fact that the technology of the Doomsday Empire came to a standstill three hundred years ago, and peace did not allow the Doomsday Empire to achieve greater development. Perhaps this is the nature of human beings, and a peaceful environment can make human civilization stand still. Although war is cruel and will take many lives, it can also promote scientific and technological progress, so that human civilization can develop and achieve greater achievements.

The sun has risen and the earth is warming.

Chu Tianjiang covered the entrance to the cave with a camouflage net so that Laika could sleep peacefully.
