Footsteps outside rang out again. But this time it's fading away.

The panic and fear also faded with the footsteps, and Yu Qingqing's hand shrunk. Because at this time, she had the mind to think of one thing-

This is the first time she has met her "Brother Li Zhen".

The little girl didn't know what to say because of the strong and complex emotions, and all the bravery and boldness of the past were thrown out of the sky at this moment, and she felt a little dizzy - not only because of those emotions, but also because of the lack of oxygen in the cave.

She bit her lip and tried to speak to this familiar and unfamiliar brother Li Zhen for the first time: "I...... Breathless......"

Li Zhen shook her hand and asked softly, "Can you hold on for another minute?" ”

Yu Qingqing let out a "hmm". Li Zhen raised his other hand and touched her hair, as if to distract her: "He will be back in a while." No one knows him better than I do. ”

Almost as soon as the words fell, there was a heavy sound of falling to the ground outside the cave. Then the mud rattled, and the man circled around the burial ground for a long time, and then flew away again.

Li Zhen let out a low gasp: "Okay, Qingqing, let your friend dig the hole." ”

Yu Qingqing hurriedly patted the arm of the "big man": "Get out of the gang!" ”

The xenomorph, who was also depressed, received the command and let out a low howl of relief. Then he straightened up suddenly, his two thick arms dancing like windmills, and the wet mud splashed out, and a large hole was dug in the blink of an eye in the layer of soil more than a meter thick.

Fresh air came in. Yu Qingqing took a big breath, and then looked down at the people around him.

In fact, half of Li Zhen's body was buried under the dirt. Only the part above the shoulders is exposed. He was also looking at the little girl. When Li Zhen was still a head, Qingqing only thought about "run quickly, run quickly, don't be caught by the bad guys". Now out of danger for the time being, she suddenly felt a little overwhelmed—she didn't know what to say.

After staring at each other for a while in the dim skylight, Yu Qingqing squatted down with a sigh: "You, can't you move yet?" ”

She felt a little panicked. Because Li Zhen was staring at her silver eyes and the small silver-white scales next to her eyes, as well as the fine little teeth in her mouth. She felt the other party's gaze, felt panic in her heart, and cried in her voice.

Li Zhen slowly lifted his hand from the wet mud and put it on Yu Qingqing's hand, and then glanced at the "big man" next to him.

That's xenomorph.

In fact, when he was in the cave, he felt the extraordinary aura of both. If it weren't for the fact that his head barely regained consciousness, he would have almost thought that "Li Zhen" was colluding with the Gate of Truth and was going to sell himself to the other party.

But he also heard a familiar voice—a voice that had accompanied him during the most difficult of times. Become the only channel he can contact with the outside world. It was the voice that made him feel that he was not alone and that he had a love, a renewed faith to break out of the ground, to be reborn as a human being.

And the voice came to my ears again.

He had never seen the little girl. But I always kept her voice in mind.

Yu Qingqing blinked in a panic - she didn't want Li Zhen to see her different eyes, but she couldn't simply close her eyes.

Then she heard her "Brother Li Zhen" say, "They made you like this?" ”

The voice was low, but there was a chill.

Yu Qingqing gritted his teeth and silently dragged Li Zhen's body out. And Li Zhen finally had some strength. Cooperate with the little girl to get rid of the shackles of the dirt. Leaning against the wall of the cave.

Then Yu Qingqing bit his lip and stood in front of him like a child who had done something wrong. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Li Zhen: "No, it's me...... I'm going to be like this myself. ”

"I met one, one ...... They call it the 'Holy Spirit.'" Then the man asked me if I wanted to get better. ”

"I wanted to run out, I wanted to go home, and I said yes. And then I ......"

In fact, when he said this, Li Zhen probably already knew what was going on in Lu Dao. The "Holy Spirit," or every near-perfect species, can bestow its power on an ordinary person. It is not polluted as a xenospecies, but a morphology between species and humans.

Such an existence can also transform ordinary people into xenos, but with a clear mind. And perhaps what the Gates of Truth are pursuing is such a secret—what they call the Garden of Eden.

But in a sense, Li Zhen, who is also a species, knows that this kind of "given" power is not all without a price. In fact, it is the "Holy Spirit" who, in some way, converts the power of a considerable number of ordinary people into his own "gifts" and gives them to the recipients.

This is the amount of power that is built on the lives of ordinary people.

There are no absolute "boundaries" in his heart. Because there are other kinds of species that exist. For example, Ying Long, such as the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, he reached out and touched the silver scales of Yu Qingqing's face, and smiled gently: "So do you like you like the way you are now?" ”

Yu Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise. After a long time, he turned his head to look at the "big man" who was standing on the side, and said softly: "So that I can be with him." ”

Li Zhen smiled: "It's better to be like this in the future." ”

Then he sat up on his knees with difficulty, grabbed Yu Qingqing's shoulders with both hands, looked at her big eyes, and whispered, "I should have gone to you earlier." It's me who is bad. ”

Yu Qingqing pursed his mouth, threw himself into his arms and cried. The little girl cried very quietly, as if she had become accustomed to sobbing alone in the corner. Li Zhen thought about it, slowly put his hand on the top of her head, and smoothed it.

"Little one, you saved me again."

Yu Qingqing finally burst into tears, and after a long while, he sobbed and said, "My parents are dead—"

Li Zhen pursed his lips and hugged her tightly, and patted her lightly on the back: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm still here." From today onwards, no one can bully you anymore. ”

"I promise."

Three days later. Ling County.

This was originally a county seat located near the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. On the night of Ying Long's rampage, the small city was lucky to be swept away by the dragon. But even that sweep destroyed a significant number of buildings – and now it looks like a decaying city after the apocalypse, with ruined bricks and rubble everywhere in the streets.

Li Zhen spent 2,000 yuan to rent a small courtyard on the edge of an abandoned city.

The money was found in that room, in the other "own" clothes. A certain doppelganger actually carried a huge sum of 10,000 yuan on his body.

However, the "huge amount of money" should be relative to the old era, and at this time, the purchasing power of 10,000 yuan is only equivalent to the previous 1,000 yuan.

Li Zhen leaned on the head of the bed to drink a bowl of porridge, and Yu Qingqing sat on a small bench and also held a bowl of porridge.

At this time, Li Zhenzhen's eyes widened for the fourth time, and it took a long breath for a long time to say the words he had said several times: "Why are you so bold?" ”

Yu Qingqing grinned, his silver eyes shining: "Actually, you don't know what to do, those aliens are also very obedient, at that time I told them to line up in ten rows and rush inside, but don't eat people, they will be obedient." I also told them that if they saw their companions dead, they would pick them up and throw them forward—"

"At first, those people would check to see if anyone was alive, but then they didn't care. Then I let the big guy jump over first, and let the other one throw me over – so the big guy caught me! And then a lot of xenos ran forward, and they were all scared and stupid, and I don't think they understood what xenos were to run, and they didn't eat people, and by the time I hid with the big man, they had already run a long way away—"

She has already finished talking about her experience for more than a year, and is talking about how she broke through the American lines.

The original frightening process seemed to be a play in her mouth, and Li Zhen felt a slight pain in her heart - what a helpless and painful experience must she have before she could have such an optimistic attitude after gaining "freedom"?

But he didn't want to take the little girl in his arms again as he had done two days ago—because that would only make the two of them sadder. Many things have already accumulated in her heart, and only time and warmth can slowly clear them, or neither, and they may become something more precious—another person becomes strong and sane and becomes an island.

So Li Zhen curled the corners of his mouth: "Then what?" How did you meet that dragon? ”

Yu Qingqing frowned and thought for a while: "It doesn't seem that I met him...... It was it that came to me. The big man and I both picked out the places where no one was, and I wanted the big man to swim me back......"

She stuck out her tongue: "Later, I realized that the road is so far." Then the two of us went to the seashore, and the dragon came out of the sky! ”

Li Zhen thought about it, put the bowl on the bedside table, and asked seriously: "I'll guess - then you weren't scared when you saw the dragon, right?" ”

Yu Qingqing grinned, revealing a row of sharp little teeth: "I'm sure I'm not afraid, that's a dragon!" Dragons are good people, and I have long known that there are dragons. We're all descendants of dragons......"

"Oh, oh!" Li Zhen nodded helplessly. In fact, he wanted to wonder if it was some kind of ...... Rare diseases. The little girl was so bold that she could be at ease—even if she was surprised when she saw the legendary creature, she was at ease. But on the other hand, like many ordinary little girls, she is afraid of the enclosed dark room, which she says makes her feel like there is a ghost.

Can talk about ghosts......

She's not afraid of the dead! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
