Chapter 31: Departure
Screams pierced the silence of the night, and more than a dozen men and women pressed close together.
The dense group of snakes surrounded the people, and the eyes of the beasts seemed to still emit a faint green light.
"What are you doing here?" Yun Che got out of the car and looked up at Shi Mi, who was sitting on the roof of the car.
"It's nothing, just let them help clear the way." Shi Mi smiled lightly, his eyes locked on Yun Che.
Yun Che was furious by him, and couldn't help frowning.
The snakes moved out of the way, and the convoy slowly moved down the road.
There was a time along the way, but it was relatively smooth, and it was steady along the way, and occasionally a few sturdy xenos could be seen gnawing on the corpses in the places they passed, and those xenos just glanced at Yun Che and them, and then continued to gnaw on the pieces of meat in their hands, without the slightest intention of chasing and attacking them.
In the carriage, Su Yue's face was a little ugly.
"What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable? Yun Che asked softly.
"Nothing...... It's just that I see that there are xenomorphs eating people everywhere around here, so it's a little ......" Su Yue's face turned pale.
"Can I not read it?" Yun Che asked tentatively.
"Yes...... I believe that with Bai Qi and Shi Mi here, this road should not be too dangerous. Su Yue smiled lightly.
"Hmm." Yun Che answered, took the phone out of the space, and took out the power bank from the mall from the storage box to charge the phone.
"Xiao Che, to be honest, I really envy you." Su Yue looked at Yun Che, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
For Su Yue, there is no extra time to think about when she is busy running for her life, but once people are free, it is easy to recall the past.
"Envy what? Because I'm all-round? Yun Che raised his chin, revealing his white neck, and there was a very realistic snake-shaped totem on his neck, "What about the all-round system?" If you haven't awakened any abilities with combat ability, it's not just as weak, and it's easy to be targeted by this kind of dangerous ability. ”
"No...... I'm not talking about this one. Su Yue shook her head, and when Yun Che looked at her again, he seemed to be able to vaguely see the water glittering in her eyes.
"Xiaoyue ......" Yun Che was slightly stunned.
"I envy you that you have a loved one in this world that you care about, even if there is no news of her now, but looking for her will become your motivation to try to live and become stronger, but as far as I am concerned, I have ...... Nothing left......"
Su Yue's voice trembled slightly, Yun Che handed over a pack of tissues, and sat there listening carefully to Su Yue's story about her......
It was a sunny day, and for Su Yue, it was the happiest and happiest day of her life, because her boyfriend, who had been in love with her for three years, proposed to her in that picturesque Central Park!
At that moment, it seemed that there were only two of them left in the world.
The feeling of joy is indescribable.
Little did they know that a terrible catastrophe was creeping in. That night, it rained black and smelly, and that rain fell all night, and many rivers were polluted.
A lot of the tap water comes from those rivers, which are so polluted that even the waterworks are polluted, and a small number of unsuspecting people have fallen ill after using the tap water.
It wasn't until the third day that the first xenomorphs appeared, and later, some people died and got back on their feet, turning into terrifying monsters, and a few people had superpowers.
"You and your boyfriend have become strangers?" Yun Che couldn't help but look at Su Yue and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Hmm." Su Yue nodded, "Both of our abilities are abilities that don't have much combat ability. Mine is Vision, Ah You's ability, called [Three Chances]. Like mine, it's a support ability.
The ability of [Three Chances] is to gain three rebirths, or three times to travel back to a specified period of time to change what will happen in the future.
It's a powerful ability, but once all three opportunities are used up, it's no different from a normal person. [Three Chances] has an exchange condition, if all three chances have been used up and the future has not changed, the ability can exchange his life for the last chance to change the future again.
Once exchanged, the Adept will pay the price with his life, regardless of whether or not he can change the future.
The first time, Ah You and I were attacked and killed by xenos on the way to escape.
So Ah You traveled back to before we left, and when he came back, he took us in another direction. This time, we still encountered xenomorphs, but this time, I was the only one who died.
The second time, Ah You traveled back from the future, and after explaining everything to us in that time period, the three of us made a set of plans, and after being fully prepared, we set off again. ”
"And this time, did you escape?" Yun Che listened to Su Yue's past, and couldn't help but sweat for her.
I saw Su Yue slowly shaking her head, she tilted her head slightly, in the dark carriage, Yun Che couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.
"Nope. The second time, I was killed. ”
"Won't you have one chance left to do it all over again?" Yun Che had a look of pity on his face.
"Originally, Ah You could have given up on me and left alone, but in order to take me away alive, he used a third chance. This time, we weren't going to run away, we just used my vision to find some supplies to keep us going. As if I couldn't escape the fate of being killed, this time, on our way to find supplies, we encountered the xenomorph again, and I still died.
Later, Ah You used the ability of [Exchange] and returned to the time period we wanted to leave again at the cost of his own life.
This time, he used his body to block the xenomorph before the xenomorph rushed towards me, which gave me a chance to live, and after the Ayou who came back from the time trip died, the Ayou next to me also disappeared, and at that time I had all the memories. ”
After listening to Su Yue's past, Yun Che couldn't help but feel a burst of regret in his heart, and he only felt sorry for Su Yue and the others.
"If he can go back in time, why not go back to before the disaster?" Yun Che asked.
"This kind of ability is very restrictive, and Ah You is a first-level ability, so he can only go back to the time period two days ago at most." Su Yue explained.
"Since he saved you with his own life, then you should live well......" Before Yun Che's words fell, the car braked suddenly, and Su Yue and Yun Che, who were sitting in the carriage, almost fell on the mat.
"What's the situation? Why is there such a fog all of a sudden? A man's voice came from the car behind.
