This series of consumption reminder text messages stunned Su Nian.

Swiping his finger across the screen, he also saw a dozen missed calls from his teacher.

There is only one intimate payment object bound to his bank account, and that is Xiao Rou.

With doubts, he clicked on the bill consumption details.

Compass, mosquito net, water filter, solar flashlight, binoculars, sleeping bag...... Seeing the details of the items purchased, an incredible conjecture crossed his mind.

And this conjecture is most likely the truth.

His blood pressure soared instantly, and he immediately opened the communication list and dialed Su Rou's mobile phone.

After a few seconds of waiting, an electronic female voice came from the other end of the phone:

"The phone you are calling is not in the service area, if you have any questions, please consult the local communication technology service center ......."

The voice on the phone made Su Nian completely confirm his conjecture.

Instead of going to school at all, Rou went outside the city to find the missing parts of Shadowland.

But the problem now is that he can't contact Xiaorou at all, and he doesn't know where Xiaorou has gone.

There was no way, he could only call Xiaorou's teacher first and ask Xiaorou for a week off.

In the face of the teacher's reprimand, Su Nian responded modestly and apologized again and again.

After hanging up the phone, Su Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

The question now is how he can contact Xiaorou.

The Shadow Connection mastered by Xiao Rou can communicate with him regardless of distance and space, but the Shadow Link can only be opened unilaterally by Xiao Rou.

Just when Su Nian was worried about this, the mobile phone rang suddenly.

picked it up and took a look, and found that it was a video call from Xiaorou.

He immediately picked up the phone, only to see Xiao Rou on the other end of the video covered in dirt, carrying a huge bag behind her, her face was stained with dried dirt and slag, and her clothes were also dyed yellow by the mud.

"Su Nian, the signal here is not good, can you hear me?"

"Where are you now?"

"Hehe, I'm in the mountains outside the city, there is no road here, I came in by trekking through mountains and rivers, and the map says that this is the Xinghuang Mountain Range area."

Su Rou's expression not only did not show the slightest apology, but also looked very proud.

As if discovering the anger on his face, Xiao Rou's voice changed, and she said proudly:

"Dude, what do you think I found here?"

"I don't care what you find, now...... Immediately...... Give me home right away, you haven't been to school in two days, hurry up and get me back to school. ”

When Su Rou heard this, she pursed her mouth:

"Don't you want to know what help I've found for our Shadowcity Rise project?"

"This is my business, you give me back at once."

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to you when I get home, I'll go home."

Realizing that the old brother was really angry this time, Su Rou suddenly became a good baby, no longer messing around, and jumped quickly from the top of the tree like a vigorous monkey, and then planted himself into the pile of fallen leaves.

The video suddenly dimmed, and there was a prompt that the signal was unstable, and then the connection suddenly disconnected.

Observing the video footage, it can be found that the place where Xiaorou is located is already in the deep mountains and old forests that no one has set foot in.

No one has cleaned up the fallen leaves here, and after many years of stacking, they are taller than Xiaorou's height.

Now, he can only wait for Xiaorou to take the initiative to return.

Fortunately, Xiaorou carries a compass and other props with her, so she shouldn't get lost in the mountains.

Leaning on the sofa, thinking about my thoughts, sleepiness came like a tide.

Before he knew it, he was falling asleep.

This night's sleep was all day.

When the time came to noon the next day, Su Nian was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone.

Opening his bloodshot red eyes, he picked up his phone to check and found that it was a call from Xiaorou.

picked up the video call, and saw Xiaorou standing in front of the bus stop with a big bag on her back, with a smile on her face:

"Su Nian, I've already returned to the city, and I'll be home in almost 2 hours."

Realizing that Xiao Rou had entered the city, his hanging heart was finally relieved, and then glared at Xiao Rou fiercely:

"Wait until you get home, see if I don't clean you up."

"No, I think you're going to compliment me, and guess what surprise I brought you."

"Excavated to the prehistoric ...... Got a shadow part? ”

There were other people on the bus stop on the other end of the video, and Su Nian realized that it obviously couldn't be said to be a prehistoric relic at this time, so he immediately changed his statement.

"That's right, I'll tell you more about the surprise when I get home...... In short, I feel that my actions are not wrong, and that there must be new ideas in the new era, and you should support my actions. ”

"You go home first."

Hanging up the phone, Su Nian was in a complicated mood.

It should have been a joy for Rou to find the Shadow Part.

But thinking that Xiaorou would have to give up her studies and run around in the future, he always felt uneasy.

In fact, he also thinks that what Xiao Rou said is not wrong.

This era is no longer the original era of peace, the frequency of Purgatory City's recruitment of humans is accelerating, and sooner or later, all human beings will become pawns of the Purgatory God to explore the corrupt world.

The meaning of learning has changed.

Getting into a good university and getting a good job is no longer the pursuit of human beings in the new era.

How to survive better in the process of exploring the decaying world is the key, and today's learning is more about broadening your horizons and expanding your thinking.

Therefore, the university completely withdrew from the stage of history and changed to a training hall model to enhance its own strength.

So Xiao Rou's point of view is not wrong, this is indeed a change that should conform to the times, but he still doesn't worry about Xiao Rou wandering out alone.

No longer thinking about this issue, he planned to wait for Xiaorou to come back and discuss the matter.

At this time, a strong hunger welled up in his heart, and he felt that he was about to faint from hunger.

Primary healing potions can help restore strength and repair body damage, but they cannot fill hunger.

Getting up from the couch and coming to the refrigerator, he took out the protein he used to buy during workouts to buy instant chicken breasts, tore open the bag with his mouth and ate it.

With three pieces of chicken breast in his stomach and his hunger relieved, he then took the ingredients out of the fridge and got busy.

Xiao Rou is about to arrive home, and there will definitely be no hot food to enjoy after two days of running around, so we will talk about everything after Xiao Rou is full.

Time passes.

Su Nian, who finished cooking a table of dishes, sat at the table and began to wait for Xiaorou to return.

At this moment, the sound of fingerprint unlocking sounded at the door.

Bang!

The door was pushed open, and I saw Xiaorou standing at the door with her hands on her hips and a proud face:

"The king is back, do you miss me, stupid old man...... Hiss, it smells so good. ”

Seeing the abundant food on the table, Su Rou's eyes lit up, and she casually threw her heavy bags on the ground and was about to walk to the table.

"Go take a shower first, it stinks!"

"Eat first!"

"Wash first, how can I eat if you don't wash it."

"I really can't help you, so let's take a shower first." Su Rou spread her hands and put on a helpless expression that you didn't want to argue with you.

Su Nian: ......
