Eight o'clock in the morning. Yuan Sui collapsed in the couch in the lobby of the hotel, a stack of books weighing a staggering weight on his knees.

"Would you like something to eat?" The landlady appeared punctually with the bell ringing and put a newspaper in her hand.

"Anything, I'm not picky." Yuan Sui smiled politely at her, and moved the books piled on his lap back to the coffee table.

"Still busy gathering materials for your final thesis?" The female boss brushed her hair behind her ears and thoughtfully arranged the books into a stack according to size for her, "It's really hard." ”

"There's no way, I didn't study hard in the past, so I can only cram for a while." Yuan Sui grabbed the newspaper, flipped through it very closely, and pretended to be amazed, "Oh, big news." ”

It occupies the headlines of two whole pages, and she can roughly read the title by means of understanding.

"The battle of fate has begun? It was revealed that the 'gifted' in many places have taken the initiative to provoke disputes a few days ago. ”

Yuan Sui snorted a few times in his mouth, shook his head and smiled.

"Sure enough, there was a fight." The proprietress obviously also noticed the bold headline, "Forget it, we little people, don't think about these problems, let's live a peaceful life every day." ”

"You seem to be relieved." Briefly looking away from the newspaper, Yuan Sui glanced at her thoughtfully, "But also, everyone knows that sooner or later there will be a ...... of this day"

"Who's to say it isn't?" The proprietress sighed, "I just hope that some young people who are enthusiastic will not be dragged to join in the fun." ”

Maybe it's because the surroundings are too quiet, and the sound of Yuan Sui flipping the newspaper is a little too loud. She shook her wrist and asked casually, "Guess what?" ”

"Little sister, let me ask one more question first, you are a human being, right?"

Yuan Sui generously spread his hands in front of her, and nodded in a slightly accented alien language: "Yes." So every time I see this kind of news, I have very mixed feelings. ”

"Don't think about it, isn't it all written in the newspapers, it's just that a few talented people are leading the way." The proprietress actually comforted her affectionately, "If you really want to avoid the limelight, you can simply take this opportunity to go out to study and hide here for a few more days." After all, our side is relatively far away from several nearby human cities, so it is relatively safe. If you don't have enough money, I can give you a discount. ”

"You're so polite." Yuan Sui sincerely curled the corners of his mouth and continued to probe, "You don't hate it...... Or fear us? ”

"When I was younger, I traveled with my father to human cities for several years." The female boss seemed to be stimulated by her to talk, and actually leaned next to her and sat down slowly, "He received a lot of human favors when he was down in his early years, so he has a lot of old friends over there. I also learned a lot of human cooking methods from them. ”

"When your father was in his early years...... Yuan Sui made a simple inference based on the common sense of judging the age of the six fingers, "does it refer to the time when you first arrived?" ”

"Hmm." The female boss did not hide it, "It was really difficult for us at that time...... I heard that my grandparents, as well as my oldest brother, died during that time. ”

"Because of the plague and radiation?"

"Yes, after all, the environment here is still different from where we used to live. After the end of the war, there were no living people left on our planet; Later, in order to compete for the position of boarding the interstellar travel vehicle, many more died; I didn't expect to finally get here, but the problems still followed. The female boss's tone was full of sorrow and apology, "I'm sorry, we really didn't mean to let you gradually fall into this step." ”

The series of complications caused by the great plague nearly 100 years ago have a fatality rate of more than 90% in both six fingers and humans. During the worst months of the pandemic, the planet's population was depopulated as fast as hot oil evaporated. Fallout catalyzes mutations in food, and species that can't keep up with evolution can be wiped out from the planet forever in a matter of days.

Yuan Sui recalled the bloody knowledge he had learned from books, and unconsciously bit his lip.

"Sometimes I even think if only you had chosen to just kick us out in the first place." The proprietress was still talking non-stop, "It's terrible...... We really didn't think that the radiation from our ship would bring about such a drastic change to the viruses that exist on your planet, but that Earth was about to become a common graveyard for both of our races. ”

"yes, just a little bit." "Sometimes I wonder if I had completely wiped out one of us at that time, and there wouldn't have been so many troubles after that. ”

"What a stupid thing to say?" Maybe it was because she looked too harmless, and the female boss only whispered a word after hearing this dangerous speech, and then secretly reminded, "You are still young, but don't be encouraged to do anything stupid." In the past few decades, it has not been easy for anyone to live, how good it is to be able to live in peace like now......"

"I'm just saying a few angry words, don't you mind." Yuan Sui continued to pretend to be honest and ignorant, and tried to break the topic in the direction he needed, "If you can really live a good life, who will be idle and bored to send the people above to death?" ”

The female boss's expression was awe-inspiring, and she suddenly whispered mysteriously: "Not necessarily. Some of the people on it can pinch and make the white black one casually. Just like today's news, maybe they owe it to provoke others, and after causing trouble, they beat them up. ”

"You're talking funny." Yuan Sui was noncommittal, and after a while, he whispered to himself, "It's okay for ordinary people like me who have lived with you for two generations to say, I'm just worried about a friend's ......"

"Why, do you still know the 'gifted'?" The female boss's expression instantly became a little nervous.

"Gifted people don't deign to associate with people like me, you think too much." Yuan Sui deliberately sneered in a weird way, and confirmed that the people around him were relaxed again before he continued, "But my friend's bloodline is indeed a bit ......."

"You mean, half-breeds?" The female boss will be quick to understand, "Our ...... with you?" ”

"So you've heard of it?" Yuan Sui's eyes lit up.

"In the early years, it seems that there were such people." The female boss replied, "After a long time of contact, there is always a love affair over time." In the past, there were several cities that did not have strict restrictions on this aspect, and if you were a person with a relatively high status in the family, you could even secretly ask a friend who worked in the hospital to do a small favor. It's just that a child born in such a family is destined to have a hard time in the future. ”

"Who's to say it isn't. He feared war more than anyone else. Yuan Sui put the story of the Ming Dynasty into it, "It's too embarrassing to fall to the point that the two ends are not human." ”

Unexpectedly, the female boss looked her up and down for a while, showed a little sympathetic expression, and said softly: "It's not easy for such a child to grow up safely, but don't give up at this time." The situation is changing rapidly, and we can always get through it. ”

Yuan Sui blinked, understanding that the woman had actually misunderstood her as this "half-breed".

Thinking about it, with such an exciting identity, most people don't dare to casually expose it to their friends, and she lied a little too much.

So Yuan Sui could only make mistakes, pretending to scratch his head in distress, and chose the most clumsy way to end the conversation: "That...... Actually, I'm really a little hungry. ”

"Hey, look at me, I'm talking so much that I'm forgetting my business again." The female boss immediately stood up and seemed to be relieved, "I'll go to the kitchen right away, please wait a little longer." ”

Yuan Sui stared at her back in a bit of panic, and said in his heart that this kind of unethical identity is really very impactful to everyone.

She refocused her attention on the newspaper, and after a while she was scratching her ears and cheeks in a hurry.

Sure enough, the dictionary should still be brought down. Even though she is basically no longer a problem now, her reading and writing skills are still too poor. Yuan Sui relied on his memory to half-guess and half-understand, and roughly understood that the above was focused on the three places where the most fierce fighting was fought yesterday.

All three locations are human cities near the sea. It is estimated that it is because the transportation is convenient, the basic conditions are relatively good, and the fight is relatively not so difficult. And the results of the three battles were also very even, with one win, one defeat and one draw. Motosui glanced at the photograph that captured the moment when a seaside city was about to be swallowed up by the waves, and prayed sincerely for a few seconds for the hapless people living nearby.

Turning another page, she was slightly surprised to find that the most devastated city had been the only place where humanity had barely triumphed.

forced Six Fingers to even blow up the bottom of the sea and cause an earthquake, and it seems that the compatriots in this city are really quite powerful.

Humming a slightly out-of-tune song, Motosui didn't notice a small black dot on the roof on the left side of the photo.

It was a man who was still standing alone in the ruins three seconds before the tide hit.

The price of staying up late on end is vision loss. She raised her hand and rubbed her astringent eyes, casually covered the newspaper over her eyes, and fell asleep holding her knees.

At night, she climbed out of the window with two heavy tows, one after the other, and landed on the top of a street tree.

“…… Sister Gu," Yuan Sui held his forehead and tried to suppress the anger in his heart, "You still want to wear high heels when you go out?" ”

"Didn't you say that we must wear it this time to let the six fingers down as much as possible? I only brought this pair of shoes. Gu Lan retorted eloquently.

"Okay, in case you break your foot, let Tong Bi'an carry you, anyway, I think he is very willing, and his energy is very excess day by day." Yuan Sui said with a little resentment.

"Are you really going to do exactly what that six-fingered white face says?" This is Tong Bi'an trying to interject.

"Or else? He means what your brother's bunch of people mean right now. All the preparations we are making now are in fact under his nose. If he suddenly becomes unhappy in the middle of the way, it will be us who will run into trouble. Yuan Sui was too lazy to explain, "Speaking of which, how do you think which six fingers are 'little white face'?" Do you have a deep grudge against them for being slower than you are? ”

"Correct you, the one I just scolded wasn't a pure-blooded six-finger." Tong Bi'an paused, "You say, don't we look like we're 'helping the prince to ascend the throne'?" ”

"Huh? Who do you think you are? Yuan Sui turned his head and glanced at him with a slight disdain, "The future regent? Or is it a great eunuch who leans towards the government and the opposition? Historically, these two types of people have generally not ended well. ”

"So you know." Tong Bi'an let out a disdainful voice from his mouth, "Looking at the hard work you worked on their history a few days ago, I thought you had already made up your mind to develop in this new direction." ”

"Why, I'm thinking about when I can quickly cut through this pile of lala messes, and then hurry up and go to my parents as a little tadpole."

"Then you have to hurry. I don't know if you and they can survive......" Before spitting out some unlucky words, Tong Bi'an hurriedly "bah" twice behind him, and changed his words, "Forget it, I still bless you." ”

"Thank you." Knowing that this person is very lacking in heart, Yuan Sui didn't worry too much about him, "Remember to wait a while and still follow the plan, I will take advantage of the night to go out of the city to pick up the large army, and the two of you will solve the few guards separately." She thought for a moment and added, "Just knock people out, don't just kill people, they didn't mess with us." ”

"Miss Yuan, a top student at the military academy, when did you become so hypocritical?"

"It's a little bit hard to get started. After all, the hotel recommended to us is really good, the environment is good, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious. Yuan Sui touched his cuffs and reminded again, "That little piece of iron has been dealt with, right?" Before we knocked them out, they were already guarding the gates with guns. ”

"Don't worry. Didn't that little white face say that their tracker mainly relies on temperature to determine whether it is still attached to a person's body. Tong Bi'an replied confidently, "I put it next to a glass of warm water." ”

"You," Yuan Sui sighed after only one word, "why are you so smart?" Will they be surprised to find out that you have burned to fifty degrees now? ”

"How could I be that stupid. I measured it with temperature, it was just thirty-seven degrees before going out, and it was very healthy. ”

"Okay, very good, then we have to go quickly, lest your body temperature drop below twenty degrees in a while."

Tong Bi'an was a little unconvinced: "Then, what method did you choose?" ”

"Me?" Yuan Sui turned his head and winked innocently, "I pinned that to the dog raised by the boss." Let's hope it doesn't make too much noise tonight. ”
