Jiang Xi walked quickly down the residential building. The city shrouded in the apocalypse is not completely dead.

From time to time, you can hear faint screams and shouts in every corner - every day after the collapse of human civilization, in every corner, there are human beings constantly struggling and fighting for survival.

At this time, a layer of white ice has accumulated on the ground, and it makes a creaking sound when you step on it.

On the snowflake-covered road, Zhao Zhixuan's footprints could be faintly seen winding to the business building where they were before—the mutated zombie was gone.

But Jiang Xi knew that she couldn't go back at the moment.

In fact, on the faces of Zhao Zhixuan and Liu Xiao when they met, she realized that something was wrong. Although she avoided superfluous thoughts, she had subconsciously assumed that they had known each other for a long time.

And after that, Zhao Zhixuan did have the forbearance of knowing everything but keeping silent. Along with the burning affection that fell on him, it also turned into pity that even he didn't want to show after Liu Xiao appeared.

And all the facts, after confirming that he is the queen with Liu Xiao, have never been clearer.

It's no wonder that after she came out of that secret research institute, her stepfather, who persevered in investigating her and her mother's whereabouts, didn't make any extra moves. He obviously realized how huge the forces behind that were not something that ordinary families could fight against.

At this moment, Jiang Xi also understood that Liu Xiao's research institute and the organization that Zhao Zhixuan worked for should belong to some kind of secret agency that can confront the state. They may even be intertwined.

Maybe Zhao Zhixuan still maintains a deep affection for her. But time flies, and the two have grown up. Others still love him, but it is better to say that what he has always loved is the little Jiang Xi in his memory.

There's no going back.

Almost without hesitation, Jiang Xi raised her feet and strode away in the opposite direction.

Although her lives are compatible, she can't control Concubine Qin.

Let's go, never see them again.

Thinking so, she still couldn't help but feel the grievances in her heart.

She also had a fever and was dizzy.

She misses her stepdad a little and can't wait to meet him.

But when the end came, and the road was so far, how could she get to her stepfather's house on the outskirts of the city?

Relying on the electromagnetic force field on her body, Jiang Xi walked in fear for almost an hour or two, dodging several waves of creatures in the darkness that were biting, scurrying, fighting, fleeing, and shouting, and she felt that she was far enough away from Zhao Zhixuan or even Liu Xiao before she looked around.

It's already a very remote place.

It seems to be on the edge of the urban and rural areas, with tall buildings and low bungalows clustered together, and many undeveloped wastelands in them.

Beneath her feet, a path reflected a silvery white glow that stretched into the depths of the building pile. On both sides of the path were hanging cables, as if there was a huge black hole in there.

There was no need to turn back at this moment, so she had to grit her teeth and stride into the black hole.

The rain and snow fell on her head, already wetting her hair. But this feeling is extremely comfortable for her who is feverish.

Walk through the ruins and see a large blackened wall.

A black meteorite is embedded in the tall building, reflecting the luster of the metal in the flashlight.

Jiang Xi didn't stay, just turned, dodged, and circled in all kinds of high and low buildings near the meteorite, until his legs seemed to be filled with lead and couldn't be dragged anymore, and he realized that he needed to rest.

The body was unprecedentedly tired, and even the eyelids couldn't help drooping down.

After walking for about half an hour, I saw a three-story self-built building with an open door erected in an open space in front of me. The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and there were several corpses in the courtyard, all of which looked unrecognizable, as if they had been cut by some wild beast, and it was no longer possible to tell whether they were humans or zombies before they died.

There are no lights upstairs, and there is no popularity at all.

Thinking that there is such a scene as a "door god", normal people will not approach this house.

For Jiang Xi, it was a place that she couldn't ask for, she barely pulled herself up and leaned over, muttering to herself: "It seems that she won't be frozen to death tonight." ”

The door was just a cover, and the furniture inside the house was crooked, and it had been looted in advance.

She no longer had the strength to rummage through the ruins to find supplies that were beneficial to her again, but climbed upstairs to find a bed to sleep in.

The family had a small population, and it wasn't until the third floor that she found a bedroom.

He locked the door behind his back, took off his wet coat and pants in one go, climbed onto the stranger's bed, and sunk his head into the pillow.

She didn't even have time to wonder if the place was really safe, her sloppy consciousness had already sunk her into darkness.

This time the sleep was longer than expected.

All mental pain and physical pain are relieved in sleep.

She vaguely heard someone walking around her, and the man moved thoughtfully and gently, feeding herself, rubbing her wet hair, and putting a thicker quilt on her.

By the time Jiang Xi opened her eyes again, two nights and one day had passed.

She was awakened by Zuo Tianyou's cry.

When she sat up, she looked out through the mist-covered glass window, and the rain and snow had turned into goose feather snow, which was gently spreading all over the world.

She just stayed at the window for a moment, and soon closed the curtains and nestled back into the quilt.

It's so cold!

In the past winters in the magic capital, there didn't seem to be such a low temperature.

The coat and pants that had been taken off the ground had been dried, and they were still wet to the touch, and they couldn't be put on for the time being. She had to rummage through the owner's cupboard.

However, before she could appreciate the owner's taste, there was one more living creature in her electromagnetic field.

This made her whole body vigilant, but the living creature belonged to a human, and only passed by the doorway, glanced at the tragic scene of the frozen hands and feet covered in snow, and ran away as fast as possible.

Jiang Xi refocused her attention on the cabinet in front of her, which was full of men's clothes, warm clothes, thread shirts, cashmere sweaters, shirts, suits, woolen jackets, and Zhongshan suits. The colors are all serious white, black, brown, gray, and cyan. Not necessarily all of them are high-end brands, but the styles are generous and decent.

Only then did I realize that this room belonged to a man, and he was still a single man.

She didn't need to compare which of the clothes in her closet would fit better—the man was supposed to be a lot bigger than her, and all the clothes were empty on her body.

He took out a tweed coat from it at random and put it on his body, and found thick socks and slippers to wrap himself tightly, until his whole body was warm again, Jiang Xi devoured a few chocolates found in the new house.

When I felt that my abdomen was half full, and my temples that were pounding suddenly because I hadn't eaten for a long time eased down, I looked at Zuo Tianyou, who was nesting in the same bed with her, covered with another quilt.

I don't know when he came out of her pocket watch, how he felt when he saw a strange place where she was alone, and at this moment he hugged the corner of the quilt and couldn't stop sobbing.

Apparently he had not woken up and was having an extremely sad dream.
