"How to get there? Where to go next? ”

"Zobar."

Mom and Dad would have to cross the grassland away from the road if they were to turn to Zóbal halfway, which would be very risky.

But whether they return to Bell City or continue to Barr City, they will have to worry for their lives, and the grassland is less terrible in comparison.

After two disappointments, I almost jumped from the ground when I saw fireworks rising in mid-air.

The fireworks spelled out the four big words 'Welcome Home' in mid-air, at this time Gu Yu and Ha Shan and I were still teleporting on the grassland, Gu Yu stopped and let Ha Shan rest for a while, our location should be in the north of Zuobar City, I didn't expect the welcome ceremony to come so suddenly.

"It's Zhou Li, it's definitely him." I pulled Gu Yu's sleeve and jumped on the spot twice with joy.

"Hmm." Gu Yu's expression also softened a lot, and he cared about his parents and Long Tao no less than me.

"That's not fireworks, hey, it's a circle of fire, Zheng Chao? This stupid tiger has become smarter! "I chirped like a little sparrow, pulling Gu Yu and telling him to hurry up and teleport us over.

Gu Yu finished calculating the scope of the Ancient Great Array, and cautiously did not rush directly into the Great Array, originally I was a little worried, afraid that my parents would have lost the protection of the Great Array.

The result is that I have been thinking too much, the big array is still strong, and we need a mantra to enter the array, and we have successfully entered the protection range of the big array, parents, Ah Ying, Long Tao, Nini......

They were all standing on the sidelines, waiting for me and Gu Yu to appear, I used to rush into my mother's arms, but this time I just walked quickly in front of her and gave her a deep hug.

I didn't cry, maybe I really grew up, although all kinds of complex emotions in my heart were tangled, I pulled out the brightest smile, gently wiped the tears from the corners of my mother's eyes, and all the strong emotions instantly turned into a kind of emotion called 'down-to-earth'.

"Mom~" Nini let go of the corner of Ah Ying's clothes, she ran faster and more steadily, and she grew a lot taller, and pounced on me with a sweet tone, hugging my waist and climbing up.

Children are the same every day, not to mention that Nini is almost two years old, as if she has changed from a baby to a little girl, and the changes are so great that I feel as if I have been away from her for a long, long time.

I picked Nini up and weighed her, she was now the same size and weight as a child of four or five years old.

Nini grows faster than the average child, and I've noticed that a long time ago, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

As soon as Long Tao saw Gu Yu, he immediately reported the situation, and the small city had lost a large number of survivors, and this matter was taken by Long Tao as the first priority to explain the situation to Gu Yu.

Ah Ying walked up to me, she blinked tears, took my hand and choked up, I knew she was happy to see me come back alive, but her tears were not tears of joy.

"Jianing's... I see it. ”

Mei Lin stood aside, covered her mouth and cried in a low voice, she had the best relationship with Zhang Jianing, and I also saw Zhang Jianing's tombstone on the way.

I saw that there was no Xiang Yiyi in the crowd, so I asked, "What about Teacher Xiang?" ”

I didn't see Xiang Yiyi's tombstone, it is supposed that she should still be alive, but the survivors of the small town are all there, but there is no shadow of her.

"She ......" Ah Ying was originally just with tears in her eyes, but when I asked this, the tears rolled down directly, "She turned into a butterfly and flew away." ”

"She turned into a butterfly?" An image flashed through my mind, and then I asked, "Blue?" ”

"Yes!" Ah Ying looked at me in surprise, her eyes full of doubt.

The blue butterfly that came out of the corpse of Qingyan Zhenren was dormant in Xiang Yiyi's body, and no one except Bai Junyang, me, and Gu Yu knew about it.

Xiang Yiyi has been strong since then, and there are no other adverse reactions, and I almost forgot about it.

"Teacher Xiang is also sick, but、But she suddenly turned into a butterfly and flew away, sister, she awakened her ability, right? It's going to be fine, it's going to be fine. ”

Ah Ying is usually a very strong girl, but she is most afraid of people close to her leaving, she has witnessed the tragic death of her family, I really can't bear to hit her again.

The butterfly was extremely weird, and I thought that the death of Qingyan Zhenren might have something to do with the butterfly.

"Maybe she's awakened to her transformation ability, and she hasn't changed back yet, and she's lost outside." I then remembered Ha Shan, and quickly turned my head to look behind me.

Ha Shan followed Gu Yu's side, because Gu Yu was holding the new clothes he found for him, he knew that the clothes were prepared for him, so he followed Gu Yu all the time, probably because he was worried that he would run naked when he turned back.

"His name is Hashan, and he is a transformational powerhouse, and now he can't change back into a human body for the time being." I told my parents about it.

"Wolves!" Nini yelled at Hashan.

As soon as she said wolf, I suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Where is the little wolf?" ”

I asked Xun Bishan to bring the little wolf back, Xun Bishan and Gao Yan were also in the crowd to greet us, but they didn't come forward, neither of them was a person who liked to hug and cry.

Hearing me ask the little wolf, Xun Bishan smiled and said: "What about the housekeeper, this wolf is very smart, it knows that we have to go out collectively and stay at home." ”

Xun Bishan and I have been separated from them for more than a month, and it was still November, and when she and Long Tao came back, their mother and they should have left the town.

So I asked, "How did you catch up with the big army?" ”

"I didn't chase them, they didn't go far, thanks to the baby, the people in Xindu didn't find them at all." Xun Bishan said.

This is indeed a clever idea, the technology in the small city is not as developed as the new capital, and there are not many people with special abilities, so it is better to hide under the nose of the new capital in a hurry, and then move slowly and methodically.

Cao Baoyang used to be a little introverted, or he didn't have a sense of belonging to the small city, but since he returned to his normal appearance, this situation has improved a lot.

He used to look at me like a little milk dog, as if he was afraid that I would lose him, but now when he saw us coming back, he went to Gu Yu as soon as possible.

Gu Yu and I were surrounded by two waves of people, divided into two camps, men and women, and the joy of reunion after a long absence was overshadowed by those faces that disappeared from our lives.

The names on the tombstones are still etched in my mind, and those who survive will always bear the pain.

After standing and chatting for a while, we returned to the city, where there is only one main road, and on both sides there are small buildings that have not been built for a few years.

Thick snow hangs from the pine trees on the side of the road, and the snow in the middle of the road is cleared to the sides, leaving a clean road surface that can pass a car.

Zhou Li saw us coming back in advance, and immediately notified the others, and everyone took a tour bus to the outside of the city.

We drove back to the city together, and as soon as the car stopped, we saw a sky blue shadow jump out of the side of the road, and then jumped back and forth in front of the car door impatiently.

"Little wolf!" My seat was close to the door, and as soon as the door opened, the wolf jumped in and lunged at me.

It was swift, small but menacing, and it jumped right onto my lap, one paw on my shoulder and one on Nini's stomach.

The hairy head rubbed against my face, then rested his chin on my shoulder, and I patted it on the back and got up to get out of the car.

I remember that the wolf distinguishes the 'kind' by smell, but the little wolf does not sniff me, a pair of yin and yang eyes seem to be able to see my intentions, as soon as I get up, it jumps off the ground, turns around and runs out of the car to wait for me.

On the contrary, the wolf cub is still the same size as when we were separated, and it has not grown at all for more than a month.

"Has it eaten?" I asked Xun Bishan, who got out of the car later.

"No, it doesn't eat normal food." Xun Bishan said: "Occasionally it will run out by itself at night, I don't know what to do, and I can't starve to death if it doesn't grow up." ”

I thought about it thoughtfully, and decided to put this issue aside for the time being, it seems to have its own way of survival, which we can't understand, so let it go.

Gu Yu and I just came back, and my parents asked me to rest first, and I will talk about anything after dinner in the evening.

What Hu Tao prepared for us was a luxuriously decorated house, European-style, and the inside was clean.

It can be seen that the city of Zhobar has not suffered a serious blow, the streets are clean, the buildings are intact, and the facilities are complete.

There are very few cars in the city, and Hu Tao said that because the survivors fled to Bell City by car, it was basically an empty city when they came.

The room was very warm, and after taking a hot shower, I changed into clean clothes and lay in bed feeling completely tired.

Gu Yu and Ha Shan were in another room, this was a two-bedroom house, Ha Shan was covered in ash in the mall, and it was so dirty that it didn't look good, just so Gu Yu could help him wash it.

Everyone returned to collective life, living in the same building, and due to the reduced staff, we only occupied three floors.

Nini and Cao Baoyang originally wanted to go back to the house with me, but they were taken away by my mother, saying that they were afraid of disturbing my rest.

As a zombie who can't sleep, the so-called rest is nothing more than staring at the ceiling in a daze.

After lying down for a while, I rolled over and sat up, opened the wardrobe and took out my backpack, and my mother packed all my things together and put them in this backpack.

I took out a roll of sheepskin from underneath and unfolded it against the head of the bed, which I had not opened since it hit my hand.

When Fang Xu gave it to me, he asked me to hand it over to Red Night, but because it was for something else, I didn't open it.

Now that the world is getting more and more chaotic, the original hope is being worn out little by little, and I have a gut feeling that Red Night must know something.

It is definitely no coincidence that she suddenly disappeared three days before the outbreak of the virus.

It's really wrong to open other people's 'letters' privately, but I can't care so much, I just want to find some clues from her.

I unfolded the parchment scroll and saw a picture, or a map, drawn on it.

In the center of the map is a cube, a large cube made up of small cubes.

"Rubik's Cube?" I sat up straight, turned the parchment roll over and looked at it upside down a few times, maybe because I had a preconceived idea, but I just thought it was a Rubik's cube in the center.

I looked closely at the lines around the Rubik's Cube, and if this was a map, they represented mountains and rivers.

I compared the terrain around the Rubik's Cube building with this map, and I couldn't find any match.

"Is there another ......?" I pondered, holding the parchment.
