Chapter 12: Call Me Brother

The warm night passed quickly, and the next morning, Si Moxue got up from the warm quilt - it was time to fight again.

Before leaving Lucas's house, Sim Moxue secretly stuffed all the Gray coins on her body into the folded quilt, although it was not much, but it carried her gratitude to the Lucas family.

"Mo Xue, when the exam comes, the three of us will be together, so we can help each other." On the way to the assessment site, Lucas said casually.

"No, thank you, it's too much trouble for you." Si Moxue heard that Lucas was thinking about her, and felt a warm current flow in her heart, but she was really embarrassed to trouble them anymore and refused.

The assessment venue was already crowded, crowded with contestants and spectators who came to watch the game.

"Yesterday they released the news that there were non-mixed-race people who skipped the level to participate in the assessment." Lucas pulled Harvey with one hand and Si Moxue with the other, shuttling through the crowd, "Bring the number plates, let's go to review them first." ”

After registration, the contestants were gathered in an open space behind the auditorium, and hundreds of people filled the open space.

There, each player was given a special distress bell.

"Each distress bell is equipped with a positioning system that you can choose to use in case of danger. However, please note that once the distress bell is used, it is considered to be a forfeiture. ”

On the stage surrounded by the audience, a female host wearing a cheongsam was holding a microphone to explain to the audience: "This junior wasteland hunter level assessment will be conducted in the underground maze, and all contestants need to get enough points within the specified time to pass this assessment." ”

The host has a pair of crooked horns on his head, his hair is fluffy and curly, and his words have a soft and glutinous coquettishness. She is a sheep-genetically hybridized and one of the most popular female hostesses in the Oasis Outer Town.

Around the stage, dozens of huge screens were set up to broadcast the contestants' every move. Si Moxue even occupied a screen by herself.

"This assessment process will be broadcast to all audiences in real time in the form of live broadcast." The hostess's sweet voice sounded.

"Next, this junior wasteland hunter level assessment starts now."

In the open space where the contestants gathered, a large area slowly sank in, and the indicator lights on both sides lit up, revealing the entrance to the underground labyrinth.

"Mo Xue, let's ......" Lucas was about to pull his boss Mo Xue into the maze, but found that she had already rushed into the maze with the first wave of contestants.

Lucas sighed secretly, pulled Harvey up, and entered the maze with the second wave of people.

The maze is full of twists and turns, dimly lit, full of corners and blind spots, and you don't know what is hidden under the shadow at the end of the road.

Harvey grabbed Lucas's hand tightly, and the two slowly walked forward with the flow of people.

There was a sudden commotion ahead, and from time to time there were screams of several people.

"What's going on?" Lucas asked, tugging at the clothes of his predecessor.

"Desolate, a large crowd of desolate people." When the people in front of them saw the scene ahead, they turned around in horror and wanted to escape.

"Wait ......" Lucas tried to grab him and ask him for clarification, but the man shook off his hand, forced Harvey and Lucas to hold the hand, and squeezed between the two.

For a while, the crowd was in chaos, and the capable hybrids wanted to squeeze forward, but the weaker ones desperately retreated.

"Daddy!"

Xavi and Lucas were scattered by the crowd and moved in opposite directions in the crowd, getting farther and farther apart.

When Harvey finally broke free from the crowd and ran in the direction he came, he found himself lost in an underground labyrinth that stretched in all directions, and he was the only one around.

The lights were dim, casting a shaky black shadow underground.

Harvey clung to the wall, groping his way forward, step by step.

There was silence all around, only the "rustle" sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the ground.

"Whew~"

The sound of deliberately muffled breathing lingered in Harvey's ears.

Ahead of us is around the corner, and the whole area is shrouded in shadow.

Harvey glanced back, and the long, narrow path stretched into the darkness at the end.

Between two fires.

He hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and jerked his left foot into the shadows around the corner......

Empty.

Harvey was relieved, and his previously overly tense body felt a little soft.

"Ho, ho, ho—"

However, before he could fully relax, Harvey heard the sound of a beast behind him.

Without thinking about it, Harvey pulled his legs and ran.

Without looking back, Harvey knew that it was the deserters who had caught up.

"Daddy—where are you?" Fearful, Harvey ran and screamed, completely unaware that the screams would reveal his location to enemies hiding in the darkness.

"Dad......"

Tears covered his eyes, Harvey panicked, drilled into the cracks, and hit a man hard, snot and tears wiped the man's body.

The man pushed Harvey's sassy face away in disgust, and threw a knife to deal with the desolate man who was chasing after him.

"Thank you, sister."

Through the hazy teary eyes, Harvey saw that the man was wearing ordinary short-sleeved trousers, and his brown hair was slightly curled up to his shoulders. I can't see the facial features clearly, but I can see that the skin is extremely white, with a healthy pale pink.

The man glanced at Harvey, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

She's strong, Harvey thought.

I don't know where I got the courage, Harvey hugged the man: "Wait, sister, can I follow you?" ”

The man didn't even look at Harvey, easily broke away from him, and walked forward without saying a word.

"Sister, I'm very well-behaved, I—I can help you collect the scoreboard." Harvey didn't give up, and followed the man step by step.

The man was tall, and Harvey had to tilt his head to speak to her. But she didn't pay attention to Harvey.

"Sister, please." Harvey was still pleading, having just recovered from the fear of being chased by the desolate man, and finally grabbed a life-saving straw, but the man ignored him completely.

Harvey's voice unconsciously cried again: "I was separated from my father, and I am ...... alone now"

The person in front of him suddenly stopped, and Harvey was not paying attention, and bumped into the person again.

"You can follow me, but you are not allowed to move without my instructions." The man pushed Harvey away with a look of disgust with a finger, "Also, call me brother." ”

Harvey was stunned by the bass voice of the "sister" as soon as he spoke, and rubbed his eyes, only then did he see the "sister's" masculine facial features and the slightly undulating muscle lines under the short sleeves, as well as a large piece of snot on the "sister's" clothes, reflecting the crystal light.

Harvey sniffled: "......"

No wonder, when it hit the chest of the "sister" at first, it was flat.

"Did you hear me clearly?"

"Hmm...... Thank you, sister. ”

"Huh?"

Harvey immediately bowed 90 degrees: "Thank you, brother." ”

......

"Harvey, Harvey, where have you been?"

On the other side of the labyrinth, Lucas squeezed out of the crowd and saw Harvey out of sight, calling out his son's name.
