Volume 1: Age of Dawn Chapter 8: Miracles
Chen Kaiyu carried the fire soil rice, no longer caring about the turmoil and looting behind him, he walked in the direction of the slum.
Suddenly, at the corner of this dilapidated path, he spotted a stumbling figure.
Chen Kaiyu hesitated, and he decided to follow, because the figure seemed to be somewhat familiar.
Holding his breath and adjusting his running posture, Chen Kaiyu cautiously followed.
As he got closer, he finally recognized who the man was.
Although she was wearing a huge black robe and looking around from time to time, Chen Kaiyu could still tell from the scattered wavy hair under the black robe.
Xuanya, a maid under the Great Golden Fang, at this moment, she is fleeing for her life.
Chen Kaiyu followed behind this exotic woman covertly, and he was very puzzled in his heart.
According to the style of splitting the party, why only arrest the absconding big gold tooth? And what about letting the people who stayed in the Great Gold Tooth shop flee?
This organization could have brought a lot of guards to surround that little buying shop.
But...... It's like acting.
From the moment the fire division woman broke into the door without violence, Chen Kaiyu discovered the clues of this matter.
It's all acting......
During her long conversation with the Great Golden Fang, those hours were spent preparing for the people inside.
But who is that for?
Who is the powerful split party branch in Tianfeng Base City to show?
The man in black appeared just right, with such despicable acting skills...... Why?
Anyone with a thoughtful mind will find out......
But they still took the trouble to carry on this clumsy performance, even if it was full of loopholes......
And, what has the fire division and the big gold tooth that used to be Toast talking about? So what is it?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed in Chen Kaiyu's mind.
He had a feeling that if he continued to follow this woman named Xuanya, he was likely to be involved in a huge shocking mystery.
After that, he will walk on thin ice and even lose his life.
Chen Kaiyu couldn't help but stop and looked at the black-robed figure that was gradually moving away.
He now has two options.
First, leave immediately, go home and have a full meal with Chen Xiaoyue, and then continue to live a peaceful life like stagnant water, worrying about tuition, food, paying gold in the city, and worrying about awakening......
Second, take a gamble and follow the woman to see what she will do next, but it may be a fight for her life......
But it's not too early now, and Chen Xiaoyue must have found out about his departure...... The girl must have guessed her actions, but after not returning for so long, she might have mistakenly thought that something had happened to her.
With that girl's character, she would definitely go to the wasteland alone.
Moreover, the school's course should be about to start, and this morning should be awarded a practical class, being late and skipping class is a trivial matter, but Chen Kaiyu doesn't want to delay such a valuable course.
The black-robed figure faded away......
Chen Kaiyu pondered for a while, and he chose a compromise solution.
Follow him for a while, and if time really doesn't allow it, he will evacuate immediately.
That's it.
He gritted his teeth and continued to secretly follow the black-robed figure who looked left and right from time to time.
One after the other, the two walked through countless dirt roads and wastelands......
Because Chen Kaiyu had developed a wealth of experience in stalking prey in the wilderness, he was not discovered by the woman.
Chen Kaiyu counted the time, the scorching sun had already revealed its full face, and the white dazzling sunlight swayed on the land.
It was time for him to go, for time did not allow him to continue his tracking.
However, I was a little unwilling......
After much thought, he followed again, like a tiger beast lurking in the shadows waiting for its prey.
Crossing a yellowish stream again, Chen Kaiyu's heart was a little anxious.
Because further on, we are about to reach the inexhaustible water source area of the Pump River, which has been flowing continuously since the new century and has never been cut off, which is the main source of water supply for Tianfeng Base City and even the entire Eastern Coastal Alliance.
His strength was already a little exhausted, and the sour water in his stomach kept pouring up his throat, and he was too hungry.
Could it be that this woman has nothing to hide? She's on the run, could it be that I'm misjudged?
Instead, rush up to the stone knife and knock her out, and then search her for something lurking on her body.
However, Chen Kaiyu restrained his behavior.
In this world, don't underestimate anyone, even if they seem amiable, thin and easy to bully.
Despising anyone will bring you a fatal end.
Finally, if I didn't stop when I reached the Pump River, I immediately turned around and left.
Chen Kaiyu said silently in his heart, he tried his best to hide his breath without leaking it.
After a while, the sound of surging water seemed to come from the sky, and the sound of waves crashing was endless.
A white line could be seen from a distance, but it was not calm.
Despite the extremely low temperatures of the nuclear winter, the river is still gushing without a trace of freezing.
There was a moat ahead, and the black-robed woman finally stopped.
Chen Kaiyu was lying on his stomach in a bush a few hundred meters behind the woman, his eyes only able to focus on the black figure.
What did she want to do, throw herself into the river?
Why?
If I really jumped, wouldn't it be a big loss for me to follow for so long?
Chen Kaiyu was a little annoyed in his heart, but his eyes were still staring ahead without blinking.
The woman pulled out a corrupted marionette from her bosom.
Chen Kaiyu could vaguely see the appearance of the gadget.
There was a bit of loss in his heart.
Suddenly, the woman pulled out another thing from her black robe.
It appears to be a small black box-like object.
Chen Kaiyu instantly came to his senses.
The black robe held the marionette, raised his head, and gestured several times at the scorching sun, which was a very strange behavior.
She stopped at one location.
At this moment, a halo suddenly wrapped around the woman's hand, and then, her hand plunged into the ground, and a deep pit instantly came out.
The small black box was thrown into the soil by her.
Then, that layer of loess miraculously recovered, and the square box fell inside.
The woman stood up, a marionette hanging from her black sleeve in her hand.
Her lips twitched, not knowing what she was whispering.
Suddenly, under Chen Kaiyu's horrified gaze, she stepped into the rushing river like a roaring king, standing in a black robe over the water, stepping on the river, and her figure gradually drifted away.
After this scene, Chen Kaiyu's first thought was to run, run wildly, and flee for his life.
The things that can tread water are either evil spirits from the abyss, or hidden powerhouses with terrifying strength.
Of these two, he can't afford to mess with either.
Immediately, he realized that he might not have been discovered while he was sneaking, otherwise the black-robed woman named Xuanya would have already made a move.
Lurking here now is the best course of action.
Chen Kaiyu forced himself to compose.
Today's class, I won't go.
Chen Xiaoyue, don't you go to the wasteland......
When the scorching sun slowly rose to the middle of the sky, Chen Kaiyu shook his drowsy brain like a dead man lying in the grass, his body was a little stiff, and after recovering quickly, he rushed straight to the place where the black-robed woman had just buried something.
After pinpointing the position, he used his stone knife to pick up the dust.
A black square box looms.
Chen Kaiyu took it in his hand, stuffed it into his arms, and ran towards the direction of the slum at an extremely fast speed.
He vaguely captured the two iron-painted silver hook-like characters of the old era engraved on the box.
Marvel.
