The color on the pattern has faded over the years, leaving a thin layer of grayish light color, but everyone can still see that the distant mountains on the picture are like daisies, and the near waters are like lan; Classical buildings, high and low, are stunningly beautiful – nothing like what they have seen in the past few decades.

"That's what it is...... The world outside the oasis? Mia was stunned and muttered.

Not only Mia, but also Smerxue and Kaito were also attracted by the different but beautiful world shown in the album, and even held their breath, for fear that the turbid breath they exhaled would blow away the already tattered album.

"Nope." But Doom, unexpectedly, opened her mouth to deny Mia's words, "It's not like this at all, even if there is, it would have been blown up by a nuclear bomb a long time ago, and most of the time there is only a mess left, and a dense crowd of desolate people......"

Her words were like a hammer, mercilessly shattering everyone's illusions.

"Says like you've seen meow!" Mia was not happy, jumped up like a fried hair, and choked back.

"I'm really ......" Dore was not to be outdone, and was about to slam back with her hands on her hips, but when she came to the end, she swallowed the second half of the sentence into her stomach and changed her words, "I haven't seen ......"

"Then you're talking nonsense!" Mia rarely won in the fight with Toddle, so she naturally wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase after her, "Not only do I think the outside of the oasis looks so good, but I will see the meow with my own eyes one day, so stick to yourself!" ”

Dore pulled the corner of her mouth and sneered, and said coolly: "You don't know about the nuclear war 70 years ago, and you know that everything is in ruins if you think about it with your ass." ”

"Alright, alright." Si Moxue gave each of them a brain crash, "What's there to fight about this kind of thing?" Let's not say whether there is one, and even if there is, who lucky person can see it with their own eyes? ”

She cherished the booklet in her hand and wrapped it in old cloth for a while: "Although I didn't have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes, when I think of the beautiful scenery that once existed on this planet, the Tartarus wasteland outside has become lovely." ”

Mia covered her head, her eyes full of longing as she watched as Si Moxue put the booklet close to the depths of the cabinet, and said, "I will definitely see it with my own eyes." ”

"Don't worry about it, I'm going out to buy something, who is going to follow?" Kaito walked to the door to change into another pair of shoes and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Me, me, me!"

"And me!"

"I'll go too."

……

Kaito led the three girls through the streets of the outer city of the Oasis, and it was now the end of the morning's affairs, and when everyone was ready to go back to rest, there were not too many people on the streets.

In fact, he said that he wanted to buy some delicious food and a good meal, but he didn't buy it - there was a shortage of materials in the last days, and good things had long been firmly grasped in the hands of those who had money and power, and occasionally a little bit leaked between his fingers, and he had already been robbed.

In addition, most of them were used to frugality, so they hastily bought some dried meat, wild vegetables, multigrain cakes, etc., and went back.

"Uncle Kaito, what have you been up to lately?" On the way back, Si Moxue asked - she had heard Doll say that Kaito had found a new and well-paid new errand, what was it, and she hadn't found time to ask before.

"Oh? It is only recently that the oasis has been reinforcing the city walls and recruiting a large number of people. ”

Kaito insisted that he carry everything by himself and not let the three girls do it. The bag was a little strangled, he carried the bag and shook it up and down, changed the position of the force, and continued: "Originally, I thought that a cripple like me might not be looked down upon by the foreman. I don't know how to do it, hey! As soon as I signed up, I was told that I had been chosen. ”

"That's great!"

At this time, they were walking on the main road, and they were passing by the mouth of a small alley.

Si Moxue happened to walk on the innermost side, and took a look into the alley by the way-

Deep in the alley were the shadows cast by the bungalows on both sides, and in the shadows, two figures were facing each other.

Si Moxue stopped and looked at it, one of them was not her former leader Si Tan, and the other person seemed to be the animal trainer she had seen in the silver hall this morning.

Tank was blocked in a corner by the animal trainer, and the little flower cat named "Mimi" squatted at the trainer's feet, lazily licking its paws.

Si Tan's body is far stronger than the animal trainer, but he was blocked by the animal trainer, I don't know if it was because he was afraid of the animal trainer, or because he was afraid of the little flower cat squatting on the ground licking its paws, he didn't dare to push the animal trainer away, but just opened his mouth to argue about something.

“…… Yes, I said I hated it, but I never said I would leave with you......" Si Moxue heard him say.

The trainer interrupted him and whispered something.

Si Tan's voice suddenly raised: "...... Hypocrisy? You call me hypocritical? Yes, I'm such a hypocritical person, what you think is righteous is just your wishful thinking, who will benefit me? I'll do it with whomever I want! ”

"Little Cher, you go fast and meow."

The two people in the alley instantly raised their heads and followed the voice, just in time to see Si Moxue who pressed his index finger to his lips at the mouth of the alley and was warning Mia to silence.

"Meow—"

The little flower cat immediately arched its back, its paws popped out of the four-legged meat pad, and grinned at Si Moxue at the mouth of the alley.

"Meow-"

When Mia saw this scene, she was also genetically liberated, two cat ears popped out of her head, her two hands turned into cat claws, and the fine claws popped out of the meat pad, shaking unconsciously.

"Don't do it, it's forbidden to fight in the oasis." Si Moxue stopped.

Mia snorted and withdrew her claws, but she didn't lift the state of genetic liberation.

The beast tamer stood in the shadows and looked up and down the few people at the entrance of the alley, and then the corners of his mouth hooked up a disdainful smile, and said coldly: "Mimi, go." ”

Then he grabbed the collar of the tank, and together with the little cat, he disappeared into the depths of the alley with a few ups and downs.

"Look at the meow he can, this kind of own combat effectiveness is not good, how can the attitude of the person who relies on supporting the animals be so bad, who is he showing with a face? I'm so angry! ”

As soon as the animal trainer left, Mia puffed up and said that her little face was angry and turned into a bun.

"Cut, you're talking like you've beaten someone." Doll slowed Mia over and was relieved to see that the two were fine.

Kaito retracted his protective posture on the side, glanced at the direction the trainer had left uneasily, and turned to them and said, "They don't look simple...... It doesn't matter if it's the cat, or it's the person. ”

In the middle of the night, a curfew had been imposed on the oasis.

Si Moxue, who seemed to be sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and got out of bed lightly, avoiding waking up Mia and Taoer, who were sleeping soundly on the side.

She came to the window and carefully pushed it open, and outside the window was a thick darkness that could not be dissolved, and the huge wall of the oasis standing not far away could be faintly visible.

The night breeze poured in through the window, and Mia on the bed muttered a grumble in her sleep, covering her head with the quilt.

Si Moxue hurriedly closed the window.

She remembered the night when the chemical plant was on fire, and Opus sat in front of the campfire, his face lit up by the leaping flames, and behind him was the burning chemical plant.

He said: "The man in black in the maze of the junior wasteland hunter assessment is coming for you, he is from the main city of the oasis. ”

Si Moxue closed her eyes suddenly, she knew before that someone was secretly watching her, and there seemed to be no malicious intent. But what about the man in black from the main city of the oasis?

She felt that the maze in front of her was like a black fog on the road ahead, but she couldn't help herself and had to step into the black fog.

The other side of the Oasis Outer City.

Xuanqiu pushed open a secret door and walked into the secret room.

In the chamber sat the man from last time, facing the narrow window in the chamber. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he asked without looking back, "How is she?" ”

Xuanqiu replied respectfully, "I came back safely and was not injured." ”

"That's good......" The man sighed and turned around, revealing a wheelchair sitting beneath him.

He drove his wheelchair to the low table next to him and picked up the cigarette that had been placed on it.

With a "rattle", a small fire lit up in the secret room, and the smell of smoke with a slight mint flavor filled the small space.

The man held the cigarette in his right hand and took a puff: "I didn't expect that there were so many people who found her, I couldn't stop it......"

"Why don't you tell her the truth and take her to your side?" Genqiu asked.

The man shook his head: "It's not time yet." ”

He sighed again, and then pressed the cigarette he had only taken a puff into the ashtray:

"It's not time yet, she's still ...... Not strong enough ......"
