Chapter 19: See Doll Again

When Si Moxue woke up, she was lying on a small single bed.

The bizarre dreams in my mind gradually fell apart, surging and fading away like a tide. Memories seem to have been added with water, and they have been boiled into a pot of paste, sticky, fuzzy, and glued to each other like glue.

"Uh-"

A low moan overflowed from Si Moxue's mouth, and it seemed that a blunt knife was slowly cutting in her brain.

After a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, reached out and groped around her body for a long time, and found a square translucent card, only to breathe a sigh of relief—it was her identity card as a junior wasteland hunter, and it was the guarantee of her life in the oasis.

Si Moxue lay on the bed and rested for a while, holding her head dizzy from a long sleep, trying to get up from the bed.

However, before her hands were fully straightened, there was a sudden throbbing pain in her stomach, which made her lose her strength, her center of gravity fell, and her body slammed into the hard bed again, and her eyes turned black.

I'm so hungry!

Only then did Si Moxue notice that her stomach was empty, as if she hadn't eaten for a long time. The twitching of her stomach made her believe that even a brand new backpack she had just bought was not much more empty than her stomach pouch.

It seemed that she would not be able to get up for a while, and there was no one else in the room anyway, so she simply lay back on the bed.

Si Moxue clenched her hands into fists against her abdomen, and when her gaze returned, she looked at the room she was staying in.

The room is not big, it can be said to be very small, no more than twenty square meters, only a single bed, a table and a chair, there is no extra space. The place opposite the bed, which was supposed to be a window, was blocked by a dusty rag, so that the room was extremely dark.

On the edge of the table was an open notebook, the pencil pressed diagonally against it. The chair was pulled far away from the table, facing the door, as if the owner had left in a hurry and had not had time to straighten things up.

Speaking of room owners, who picked me up anyway? Si Moxue thought to herself.

In confusion, the door of the room was pushed open, revealing a young face.

"Thor?" Si Moxue looked surprised, and it turned out to be her partner in the organization, Thor, who opened the door. She panicked in her heart, did she go back to the organization?

"You're awake." Seeing that Si Moxue woke up, Taoer handed her the bowl she was holding in her hand, "Are you hungry?" Let's drink some porridge. ”

Si Moxue took the bowl, the bowl was full of sticky multigrain porridge, and it was still warm, and the shredded meat floating in the porridge could be vaguely seen, exuding an attractive fragrance.

She held the bowl and didn't finish it.

"Drink it while it's hot." Doll urged.

Si Moxue hesitated for a moment with the bowl, and finally asked, "Here...... Where is it? ”

"Huh?" Todd's expression first became puzzled, but then she showed a clear expression, and she said jokingly, "This is an oasis, you don't think you're still under Aunt Hua, right?" ”

As she spoke, she got up and pulled back the rags that served as curtains, revealing a wooden window with peeling paint, and the room lit up instantly.

Through the small window, Si Moxue could see the gray-black walls of the oasis and the streets where people came and went.

She breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel the hunger in her stomach again, and drank the porridge in small sips.

Doll pulled a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, and talked to her in a rambling voice: "I just heard someone outside selling meat porridge, and I thought that you should be hungry when you woke up, so I quickly ran out and bought a bowl of ...... How about porridge? Is it delicious? Let me see...... There is so little meat, and I am embarrassed to sell it as meat porridge, which is too shameful. Doll spoiled.

"Anyway, how are you lying on the garbage heap, your clothes are torn, and you are covered with a coat. But when I examined you, I found no wounds. Taoer looked at Si Moxue drinking porridge for a while, supported her face with her hands and asked, "Also, why did you come to the oasis?" ”

Si Moxue swallowed a large mouthful of porridge, felt the throbbing pain in her stomach better, and explained her experience to Taoer word by word.

Doore's expression fluctuated with her narration, and when she heard that Si Moxue was attacked by a silver-haired youth in the alley, she couldn't help but interject: "The person you are talking about seems to be the 'Nine-Tailed Demon Fox'." ”

"Nine-Tailed Demon Fox?" Si Moxue asked rhetorically.

"It's a hybrid in the inner city, and it seems to be the guard of the lord of the snowy city in the central four cities. It is said that this man was arrogant, brutal and bloodthirsty, and countless people died at his hands. And because he mixed the white fox gene, he would grow nine tails when the gene was liberated, so he got the nickname 'Nine-Tailed Demon Fox'. Doll raised an eyebrow and spread her hands, the expression on her face not knowing whether it was envy or disdain.

She picked up the glass of water on the table, took a sip, moistened her throat, and continued: "His genetic fusion has reached 98%, which is close to 100%. So even though he is only 22 years old now, his ability has reached a very terrifying level, and he is called the 'strongest hybrid'...... With his protection, no one dared to fight the idea of the city lord of Snow City at all. ”

"Is the strongest hybrid ......" Si Moxue silently chewed these words in her mouth.

How could the strongest hybrids come to the outer city, and in such a dirty middle alley?

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Sim Moxue didn't speak, Taoer asked with a puzzled face.

"Nothing?" Until the problem is solved, Sim Moxue does not plan to tell Taoer to make her troubled in vain. Pressing the doubts into her heart, she changed the topic: "You haven't said how you came to the oasis, how is the organization, the organization?" ”

"That's a long story......"

From Tao'er's account, Si Moxue learned that shortly after she was sold to the "clouds", Tao'er's organization was attacked by a group of out-of-control corpse beasts, Aunt Hua was killed in battle, and the rest of the people were also killed and wounded. Doll took advantage of the chaos to escape.

"When I arrived at the Oasis, I just in time for the trainee wasteland hunter assessment, so I signed up and passed. I'm a trainee hunter now. Doll pulled out a translucent card similar to that of Sim Xue.

When Dore escaped, she took a lot of Gray coins with her and rented this house in the Oasis. The remaining money is enough for the two girls to live for a while.

But the money will always run out one day, and in order to earn money, Sim Moxue and Taoer agreed to go to the Silver Hall together the next day to accept the task.

When they met their old acquaintances in a foreign land, Si Moxue and Taoer were very excited, listening to each other's experiences in the past few days, worrying about each other's deep danger, and rejoicing that each other had escaped, but before they knew it, it was getting late.

After a simple dinner, Sim Moxue and Taoer snuggled up to a small single bed.

Taoer had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep, and Si Moxue was still open, looking fixedly at the façade of the oasis standing outside the window.

Scenes from the junior wasteland hunter assessment flashed in front of me. The freshness and joy of entering the oasis have faded, and everything that has happened in the past few days is telling Sim Xue that she is still in the last days.

Whether inside or outside the oasis, everyone is in the last days, which should be the fairest thing in this era.

Si Moxue shrank into the quilt, and two people were squeezed into the narrow single bed, and she and Taoer were back to back, leg pressing, and could barely turn over. The walls of the room are mottled and peeling, and the simple wooden windows are difficult to block the cold wind howling outside. Despite the difficult living conditions, she is grateful to have a place in the oasis.

Only those who have climbed up from hell know how precious such a life is. In order to keep this life, she can kill any god or ghost.
