Chapter 508: After the Natural Disaster
"Sue, you're back?"
In the metal cabin, a young man with blond hair and green eyes looked at Xu Rui with a smile.
"Are you...... Mo?! ”
Xu Rui slowly opened his eyes and looked at the boy, this was his only friend, the two had been dependent on each other since childhood, and later received special training together and became interstellar commanders.
"How did I end up here?"
Xu Rui looked at the familiar and unfamiliar environment around him, and a thick blankness suddenly rose in his heart.
Mo smiled: "You were captured by that group of alien animals, and the fleet invaded the Land of Judgment in order to save you, but something went wrong when you teleported, and you have been in a coma for three years." ”
"I've been in a coma for three years?"
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and his heart became more and more dazed, is everything in the other world a dream?
He subconsciously observed the surroundings, it was indeed his rest cabin, yes, the countless movie posters on the bulkhead were pasted by himself, it seemed that everything was really a dream.
But that dream is too real, isn't it?
was thinking in his heart, and suddenly his eyes stopped on a gorgeous poster, which was a concert poster of a female star, the woman on the poster was wearing a beautiful and modern performance costume, but her face was the appearance of Princess Qixia.
Xu Rui was suddenly shocked, and suddenly remembered the earthquake, the sandstorm, and her anxious expression at the last moment before losing consciousness.
"No, it's not a dream, it's not a dream!"
Xu Rui exclaimed, a trace of complexity appeared on Mo's face, and the whole world suddenly trembled, making a sound of shattering, as if the broken mirror was suddenly falling apart.
"No!"
Xu Rui exclaimed in surprise and sat up from the sand, and a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of his head, which made his eyes go black, and he almost passed out again.
"How are you?"
Suddenly, a pair of jade arms gently grabbed him from behind, and the smell of nephrite jade entered his nose.
Xu Rui's heart was inexplicably relieved, and when he looked up, he saw Princess Qixia gently hugging her, her face full of abrasions and undried tears.
He felt a pain in his heart, and he reached out to touch her face, and said softly: "I'm fine, a little injury, thank you for your hard work......"
Princess Qixia laughed, but her tears couldn't stop flowing out, and she shook her head and said: "I also said that it was a small injury, you have been in a coma for two days, and the shadow maid said that if it was someone else, my head would have been broken into several petals, and I thought I would never see you again." ”
Xu Rui was stunned: "Shadow maid? ”
Princess Qixia wiped away her tears and nodded: "Remember what I told you, the figure who rescued me on the stone pillar that day is the shadow maid, if we hadn't met her, I'm afraid we would have died in the sandstorm and earthquake a long time ago." ”
Xu Rui was stunned again, remembering the figure who had saved him when he fell into the cracks in the ground, could it really be a shadow maid?
But how could she save herself from sandstorms and earthquakes?
Could it be that the martial saint of the Ghost Valley Sect is really so magical, not only allowing the shadow maid to advance to the top level in a short period of time, but also allowing her to move freely in the sandstorm?
Thinking of this, Xu Rui couldn't help but look at the environment they were in now, they seemed to be still in a cave in the stone forest, but they couldn't hear the loud noise of sandstorms and earthquakes, and there was also a small bonfire lit around them.
His head was wrapped in a piece of gauze, which was obviously torn from the hem of Princess Qixia's skirt, and Princess Qixia was dressed in rags, covered in wounds, and dirty and pitiful.
"What happened after I fell unconscious?"
Xu Rui asked.
Princess Qixia carefully helped Xu Rui to lie down and said, "At that time, it was the time when the sandstorm and earthquake were at their most violent, and I wanted to drag you to a safe place, but in that case, I didn't know where to go.
Fortunately, the shadow maid arrived in time, and she and I carried you to escape into the stone forest, and found this safe place, so that we could be fortunate enough to avoid this catastrophe. ”
Although Princess Qixia said it lightly, as long as she looked at her injured appearance, Xu Rui knew that this road was absolutely dangerous, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and ashamed.
He gently helped Princess Qixia wipe away the undried tears, and sighed: "I'm sorry for the pain I caused you." ”
Princess Qixia smiled at the corner of her mouth, shook her head, and gently leaned on his chest and said, "Being able to share hardships with you is the most life-saving thing in my life, and it is not hard at all." ”
Xu Rui's heart was sour again, but he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what about the shadow maid?" ”
Princess Qixia said softly: "Don't worry, she's fine, the earthquake and sandstorm have stopped, she went out to find some food and water." ”
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Princess Qixia had just said that she had been in a coma for two days, and this trip was in a hurry, they didn't bring dry food and water at all, but now it has become a huge hidden danger.
He struggled to sit up, and Princess Qixia said worriedly: "Don't worry, you are seriously injured this time, don't rush to get up." ”
Xu Rui shook his head, he had already checked, the back of his head had indeed suffered a heavy injury before, and the shadow maid was right, if he hadn't been strengthened by genetic medicine, I am afraid that he would have been broken to death by falling to the pulp, and most of the bones on his body were broken.
However, because of the genetic medicine, after two days of recuperation, his injuries at the moment have been healed, although he has not yet reached the best condition, but there is no major problem.
Xu Rui waved his hand, sat up and said, "It's okay, your man's life is hard, he can't die, help me out and have a look." ”
This sandstorm and earthquake came violently, and now the Apocalypse Guards have no leader, and the soldiers who followed Xu Rui to save people don't know whether they are alive or dead, Xu Rui is so anxious that he really can't lie down in peace.
Princess Qixia seemed to know what he was thinking, although she was worried, she didn't say a word, and silently helped him out according to Xu Rui's words.
After the sandstorm, the sky became blue again, and a touch of sunlight sprinkled on Xu Rui's face, stabbing his eyes slightly, and it took a while to barely get used to it.
However, when he looked up, Xu Rui was suddenly shocked by everything in front of him and was speechless.
At this time, they were on a huge stone pillar, which should have been more than ten feet high, but at this time it was halfway into the ground, like an arrow, obliquely inserted into the sand.
Not only this stone pillar, but the entire stone forest seems to have sunk in half, turning into an undulating, staggered pile of rocks.
And this was not the most surprising to him, just a dozen meters away, a canyon as wide as two hundred meters wide and bottomless as deep appeared.
Obviously, this canyon was formed by the original crack, although he knew that this place was a fault, but Xu Rui never thought that the crack would become terrifying, and it was also a huge problem.
Both sides of the canyon are smooth stone walls, the stone walls are soft and fragile, and they will break and fall if they touch it slightly, not to mention that it is dark inside, and they don't know how deep it is, and it is impossible to go down to the bottom peacefully, and it is even more nonsense to climb over the canyon.
The most terrible thing is that Xu Rui found that this canyon happened to be between himself and the Apocalypse Guard, and if he couldn't cross the canyon, it would be impossible to merge with the Apocalypse.
With the current ability of the Apocalypse, it is almost impossible to drive a bridge on both sides of the canyon at two hundred meters in a short period of time.
Shooting with a repeating crossbow and hanging a rope may be able to establish a ropeway and carry out a quick rescue, but the risk is also very large, not to mention that in the face of such a natural disaster, who knows what the situation of the Apocalypse is now, and when will he be able to find here?
If you wait for ten days and half a month, this time is enough for a few of you to starve to death and die of thirst here countless times!
Just as he was thinking, there was a crisp cracking sound from the hole behind him.
Xu Rui looked back and saw that the wall of the cave seemed to have been chiseled by something, leaving a thumb-sized but bottomless hole, and the sound of cracking came from inside.
"It's ...... Not good! ”
Xu Rui was stunned, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
But before he could react, the entire cave suddenly shook violently, and countless spider-like cracks instantly cracked on the small hole, and then the cave suddenly collapsed with a "bang".
"Be careful!"
At the last moment, Princess Qixia exclaimed in surprise and pushed Xu Rui's chest with all her might.
"No!"
Xu Rui suddenly fell backwards, his eyes widened, and he watched the boulder fall with a bang, but Princess Qixia, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, had no chance to escape.
Princess Qixia looked frightened, but her eyes were stunned, and she never moved away from Xu Rui's face, until the boulder fell and buried her completely.
