"I'm curious, what do they eat?"

Under the scorching heat, the eyes were full of dim yellow barrenness, the soles of the combat boots were hot, and after walking a full four kilometers on foot, the city wall had completely disappeared from view, and there was still no trace of human habitation, and there was no food on the road, Han Xu couldn't help frowning and said.

The position revealed in the tone of his voice was not at all an indifferent bystander, but full of sympathy.

Bai Liuyi can understand his mood, Han was born at the bottom, and he has always been a rebel, so he has a natural sense of substitution for these innocent groups who have suffered the most painful oppression from the Federation.

What kind of creatures can grow in such a hostile environment? In the survival class of the night school, I learned a lot of survival skills, how to survive in various environments, but I never learned how to survive in this environment. In the content of the White Emperor's teachings, there is also no such part.

At first, Han continued to think that there might be a unique creature like the Snow Inu, but along the way, he didn't see anything edible except for some unique heat-resistant trees.

And even if there were, what food could keep millions of untouchables alive?

This huge mystery also plagued Bai Liuyi, so much so that they forgot about the heat for a while.

The sky is getting brighter, and the sun is about to appear, mercilessly scorching the almost barren land, raising the already scorching temperature again. The brightness of the sky also brings a clearer view, and the barrenness and duskness of the eyes make you feel as if you have become an ingredient in an omelette.

After avoiding two active volcanoes with thick smoke, in a woods that were not afraid of the heat, Han Xu suddenly stopped and stopped Bai Liuyi behind him.

"Shhhh

The branches of the arm tree are curved, and this way of growing can retain as much moisture as possible, and it looks like a blooming dandelion, not far in front of the two of them, there is a sound of movement.

In this place, where it is unlikely that even living creatures exist in their judgment, there will be a sound of movement, so no matter what the movement is, it is enough for them to be vigilant.

Bai Liuyi and him glanced at each other, and after the two nodded to each other, they cautiously walked forward, both of them clenched the swords in their hands, if danger appeared, then the two sharp swords would burst out with strong power in the hands of the two young masters.

The sound comes from the descending slope ahead.

Using a hill on the side as a reference, they could conclude that their current position was a high ground, with a vast plain ahead. Slowly approaching the source of the sound, the two of them were already standing on the edge of the slope, and the expressions on the two faces were at the same time.

The sound came from a very dark boy on this slope, about forty or fifty meters long, who was obviously not of their own race. He had a scythe in his hand, and he was diligently harvesting some of the withered vines on the slope that he couldn't even name.

At the lower end of the slope, on the mirror-like plain, there is a vast planting field, and it is not clear what is planted when you look down from a high place, but you can see that in this red-hot land that has just been brightened, there are hundreds of black-skinned people, carrying baskets woven by vines, bending over to harvest, like hundreds of black ants at work, in sharp contrast to the dim yellow of the eyes.

Although the tools used by the boy were iron, they were very crude, except for the appearance of a sickle, and there were large areas of bare body, and only the private parts were covered with a cloth-like material made of unknown materials, which made them look extremely primitive.

Han Xu and Bai Liuyi suddenly thought of what they had learned.

According to the records in some books, there were originally three colored people in the world, and the inhabitants of their human alliance survival circle all belonged to the yellow race, and the one like Honig belonged to the white race, and what appeared in front of them at the moment was obviously a black race.

Before the outbreak of the cataclysm, the Han Dynasty won the world, all roads led to the Han Dynasty, and people from many other countries came to admire it, and they were happy to think about it, and it was also in the Han Dynasty, with the outbreak of the cataclysm, as the last dignity of the human world, many refugees from other countries also came into exile.

With the collapse of Xu Shenfeng's mansion and the replacement of the original Han royal family as a new leader, these people who were not from the original Han Dynasty became the part used to sacrifice and serve as cannon fodder in the war together with some of the original lowly people of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, people of different skin colors from the inhabitants of the Federation and the Holy Land Alliance are also the main creatures in the Dalit Zone.

At this moment, the content depicted in the book is truly presented in front of you.

It's not a secret, but it's the first time I've seen so many black people gathering, and it's also the first time I've seen people of this color, and I'm a little distracted for a while, so that both of them made a low-level mistake, that is, the distance between this little boy and them was only twenty or thirty meters.

Han Xu reacted for the next moment, and when he pulled Bai Liuyi back, it was too late, pursed his thick lips to harvest the vines, straightened his waist and wrapped it around his waist, and as soon as he looked up, he saw men and women dressed in gorgeous costumes that were completely different from their appearance.

Han Xu's eyes froze slightly.

The little boy's face changed suddenly, and Han Xu clearly saw the killing intent in his eyes that a child who did not belong to this age should have, only to see him clench the iron weapon in his hand, turn around and face the residents at the bottom of the slope, opening his mouth and preparing to exhale.

However, his voice didn't have time to burst out of his mouth, Han Xu's toes stepped down slightly, and the seemingly random kick actually surged secretly, and a stone under the big thumb was ejected from the ground, and more than ten years of leg method was perfect, and the body twisted slightly sideways and kicked on the stone, and the stone shot out like a sharp arrow, and smashed on the back of the boy's head with unmistakable accuracy.

Bai Liuyi tore off a dry and hard vine, and at the same time as the boy fell, he pulled the vine and wrapped it around his body, pulling it hard, and the boy who was in a coma in an instant was like a fish in a pond, and was dragged up the slope by force.

All the people were working, harvesting this heat-resistant fast-growing fungus that they called the Hydroflame Mushroom, one of the laborers raised his head, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and as for the little boy who didn't appear in the field of vision, he also subconsciously thought that he had just shifted his position to a place he couldn't see.

......

After the slope, what they saw as invaders from the outside world—Han Xu and Bai Liuyi—quickly retreated, completely out of the realm that might be discovered by the untouchables below.

"What now?" After making sure that their positions could not be discovered, Bai Liuyi frowned slightly and looked at the unconscious boy lying on the side of the two of them. His dark skin was like a piece of chocolate about to melt in the wilderness, where the temperature rose as the sky grew brighter.

"This boy is only six or seven years old, and he has murderous intent in his eyes, and when he encounters strangers, he will immediately turn his head and shout, proving that they are very alert, very aggressive and exclusive, and if our existence is discovered by them, it should be unlikely that it will be harmonious. Han Xu squatted down and checked the part where the boy was hit hard by himself, and after making sure that his strength control was just right, and he didn't hurt the boy, he frowned and said: "The method of peace talks is obviously not good, we must act secretly." ”

Honig speaks the same language as them, the ancestors of these outcasts also had the experience of surviving in the Han Dynasty, only to end up here, and there are also aborigines of the Han Dynasty among the untouchables, so it is only natural that the language can be passed on. The words that I had just heard from the people who were working below were indeed in the same language as them, so Han Xu had always felt that maybe he could negotiate peacefully to realize the Holy Queen's plan. However, the aggressiveness of the supposed innocent boy made him reconsider the feasibility of this approach.

Obviously, the safest thing to do is to act in the shadows.

"They will soon find out that the boy is missing, and we can't let them find him, or he will expose our presence. Bai Liuyi said.

Han continued to nod. No matter how old and spicy people are, there will be times when they are lax, and there will be times when they make mistakes, and they never thought that these outcasts of the Federation would be full of vigilance and offensive power in their lives here.

Things are starting to get more and more troublesome.

"Then it's time to wake up the Holy Queen. Bai Liuyi also squatted down and said, "We don't know what the Holy Queen's arrangement is. ”

Han Xu nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Indeed." ”

He took the lotus seed out of his arms, which still had no luster and radiated.

From entering the desert to the present, with the special protection of his vitality, this lotus seed has always maintained its original temperature.

It's a pity that the Holy Queen still hasn't woken up, and the spiritual liquid in the lotus seed is already a little bit left, and I don't know if it can last a day. Both of their faces became focused and nervous.

Han continued to take a deep breath and adjust his breathing to make his emotions as stable as possible. He has always had a big heart, but there has never been a precedent for how to awaken the resurrection and resurrection of the Death Lotus to learn from, and he doesn't know whether his reckless attempt is right or wrong, whether it can awaken the Holy Queen or kill this great woman who can control the human world.

But if you don't do anything, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and everything in this world will be a foregone conclusion.

With this mood, Han Xu's mood gradually calmed down, closed his eyes, raised his fingers, and slowly touched the surface of the lotus seeds.

The thought moved with his heart, and inside the dantian, the rolling milky white vitality smelted by Ling Feng's divine spectrum began to surge, surging into the meridians, and then under his perfect control, it became a trickle, merging into this subtle lotus seed.

The milky white vitality began to pour into the tiny lotus seeds.

No one knew what would happen, and in the short time before the Yuan Qi was about to enter the lotus seed, the hearts of both of them were in their throats, but after the Yuan Qi was actually injected into the lotus seed, nothing unusual appeared.

Han Xu didn't even notice the difference between this and ordinary vitality consumption, as if the lotus seed in his hand did not exist, and there was no rejection or absorption of the power, not even a little resistance.

It was as if the energy had dissipated into the air, and it didn't provoke any reaction.

This situation lasted for several seconds, and there was no sign of change, except for a long sigh of relief that there was no negative vision, and a deep sense of disappointment.

Han continued to slowly increase the speed and intensity of his vitality injection, but there was still no abnormality.

Ten seconds later, he interrupted the pointless attempt.

The attempt that had been planned a few days ago overcame the worries in my heart, but it ended in such a gloomy way.

His and Bai Liuyi's eyes were locked on the lotus seeds, and the two pairs of eyebrows were crumbled together.

This time, the coma didn't say hello to them, so Han Xu didn't know when the Holy Queen was unconscious, probably judging that it should be not long after they were discovered by the drone in the Foggy Grass Mountains. Han Xu didn't have much to worry about, because such a coma or coma had been done before, and he thought that this time would be the same as any of the previous times, but as the day of the lotus seed limit slowly approached, Han Xu began to get nervous.

It's just that there is always an expectation in my heart that the Holy Queen's lethargy is just to preserve her strength and prolong the time she can survive, until she will wake up when necessary later, but now that it has come to the last moment, she is still in a coma...... Did God want them to fail? Is this the so-called providence that she once spoke of?

Because there is no sign of coma, there is no sign of failure now, and I will always have hope, and it is precisely because of hope that I will now feel a deep sense of loss.

The ups and downs staged in his own heart finally brought about a shattered dream and unprecedented loss.

He seemed to see the situation in which Emperor Shenxuan was in charge of the two places, and seemed to see the human world begin to expand to the outside without knowing whether to live or die, and saw more people become pariahs and outcasts, and more children like him became victims of the emperor's personal interests.

The feeling of powerlessness is the feeling he hates the most, because he has been experiencing powerlessness since he was a child, so in the face of the Tianhuo Society, in the face of many great enemies, he will fight without knowing whether he is alive or dead. People always have to live for something, and Han Xu has been living for these things.

However, this feeling of powerlessness once again surrounded his life.

Bai Liuyi endured the loss, walked behind him, and hugged him from behind.

Mutual dependence was the only thing that could comfort each other now, and both of them were silent, allowing their sadness to creep through this tenderness.

Although it is my own choice, there are so many things to worry about, and people are not machines, who can achieve absolute detachment.

However, it doesn't always seem to be so bad.

"Ahem...... Cough. ”

The two of them stared at the same time, focusing on the dim lotus seed.
