Chapter Fourteen The Beginning of the Journey
Late at night, huge tranquility enveloped the dome of the haven, the wind blew through the quiet snow, and the sounds made were flickering and fascinating.
After the carnival, there was a certain exhausted and empty atmosphere in the air. People left the banquet venue one by one, returned to their residences, washed up and went to bed.
No matter how memorable everything today is, tomorrow will always come.
Xiziyue lay on her small bed that had been lying for seven days, staring quietly outside the window.
The snow started falling again.
It is only under the protection of the safe haven that it appears so gentle. After she leaves here, what awaits her should be overwhelming extreme weather, and nature will present it to her in the most primitive and cruelest posture.
Although it is conceivable that no matter how extreme the weather is, this gentle scene is still extremely precious and she will never see it again soon.
"Have you packed up all the things?" Zero's voice floated on the big velvet bed.
Xiziyue knew that she hadn't fallen asleep, so she patiently waited for her to ask something first.
"Elizabeth has already cleaned up for me," said Nishiziyue.
To be honest, she didn't know what she needed, and she could not even need anything. Anyway, she would always encounter dragon cities and other safe havens along the way. She would just beg for alms at that time, and Elder Tang did this.
"Then have you decided what place to go next?"
"I've already thought about it, first I'm going to go to the place where I was born."
“Where is there?”
"I don't know, but I can probably sense that the coordinate is probably in the south and is very close to my hometown, maybe it is my hometown."
These days, Xiziyue dreams every night, dreaming of the distant past.
In the underground research room with dim fluorescence, pipes and cables gathered from all directions, wrapping around the huge quartz glass tube in the center, like snakes surrounding giant pythons, or like towering ancient trees.
The technicians in white swayed around the blue light source. It was the glimmer of light emitted by the screen. When they moved, they looked like a misty shadow.
There are also those whispers intertwined by people, cold, rational, and sometimes full of fear and joy. They exchanged parameters and the results of the last experiment. Among the many vague faces, there is only a square national character.
His face, his ordinary appearance wearing simple glasses, was particularly clear. He spoke the word God in a calm voice.
Since she came here, she has had similar dreams every night, and these dreams confirm her previous conjecture... She was born in a dimly lit underground institute, and someone created her,
With God's crown.
Now that I think about it, the title of artificial black king is very inaccurate. Black king is a word that only dragon clans have. It's like Lu Mingze is just called the supreme prehistoric emperor and does not have a specific title.
Artificial gods, this is the most accurate name.
These memories were originally sealed up by her, but as she awakened and strengthened again and again, she spent day after day here, these memories were recovering at an astonishing speed, constantly breaking out like a seed.
Back to the place where he was born, this thought twitched in Xiziyue's heart like a cat's paw.
The conversation between the two was intermittent, but they were all simple questions and answers, and there was nothing to talk about in-depth. At first, Xiziyue thought it was lacking in common memories, so she couldn't talk about it, but then she thought, even though
It was on the original world line, and the two of them had never talked much about the conversation, except Lu Mingfei was related.
But even though it was difficult for the two to get together, Zero still kept asking questions one by one. At the beginning, he was asking about Xiziyue's next itinerary. After talking, she was really in trouble. She even brought out what songs you like to listen to.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit the current atmosphere.
It can be seen that she was also racking her brains to have more intersections with Xiziyue on this last night.
The rustling conversation lasted until five o'clock in the morning, and the two of them calmed down, leaving only breathing.
This time is still far from dawn, but it is already very close to the early morning.
"Zero..." After a long quiet time, Xiziyue spoke again. There was something she felt she had to finish before leaving.
She stretched out her hands and feet from the quilt, tiptoed on the ground, crossed the distance between her and Zero, and came to the big velvet bed.
"Zero, thank you." Nishiziyue hugged the other person from behind.
"Is this... a late response?" Zero whispered, "I was just talking casually."
"It has nothing to do with your request a few days ago. It's just something I've always wanted to do." Xiziyue lowered her eyebrows, "You are like Elizabeth, one of my first guides, although you may not be
I remember, but I did have a life-and-death experience with you. I should have hugged you when I first met you more than a week ago. I didn’t expect that until now, I had the opportunity to do this.”
"Speaking of this, I have also worked under my boss with you."
When Zero's eyes fluctuated slightly when he heard the word "Boss": "You even know the boss."
"Not only know each other, but also have a good relationship... Thank you for choosing to protect me at the most important moment, rather than standing on his side." Xiziyue said in a voice that was gentler than moonlight.
After a long time, Xiziyue slowly pulled her hand away from Zero: "In the future, we will meet again soon, sure."
Then there was the sound of the clothes rubbing. Xiziyue was changing clothes and changing her original pajamas into a suit suitable for long-distance travel.
Then the sound of the door being pushed open, creaking and closing.
Xiziyue's steps were very light, and she didn't make any sound when she went up and down the stairs in this old house.
Finally, Zero watched Xiziyue walk out of the courtyard gate of the building and left a string of footprints moving further and further on the snow.
.....
.....
"Okay, that's what you're prepared." In the Chairman's Mansion, Elizabeth uncovered a white curtain, revealing the black metal monster crawling on the lawn.
It was a motorcycle with a bohemian shape. The curves of the front armor were as smooth as the sword's edge, and flashing patterns were flowing all over the body. The extinguished headlights were the eyes of the metal monster that had not yet opened.
Xiziyue was shocked by the handsomeness of this thing at first sight. Compared with this, not only did her tight combat uniform look more vulgar, but her tactical bones were just like that.
"I'm ready to put all the luggage you need in it. Don't worry, I didn't stuff you with too many essential food and clothing. I'm using the main space to hold desserts and tea." Elizabeth patted the motorcycle proudly.
"By the way, I also stuffed you an iPad in, which contained a complete set of "Yes, Minister" and "Fifth Republic" to help you relieve your boredom on the road. I think you probably haven't seen it."
"No, no, no, these two things are all hidden compulsory courses for Kassel. They are the ultimate hidden compulsory courses that have never been seen before. "Xiziyue stayed there for a while, "but desserts
It’s really necessary to have tea.”
"Okay, in addition to these two movies, there are some things that girls of your age may like to watch, anyway, I haven't watched it."
"You feel so suspicious..." Nishiziyue was upset at the last sentence "I haven't seen it anyway". What's the difference between this and "I have a friend"?
"goodbye."
After saying the last word, Xiziyue drove the motorcycle to move forward at low speed. This is indeed a good car. There is not much noise when running, and it will not disturb this micro-city sleeping in.
After passing through the old city with winding terrain, you will come to the new city with wide roads, and immediately see dense snow forests.
Suddenly, a beam of light shone from behind Xiziyue. She turned her head and looked at her and found a white motorcycle chasing her at a very fast speed, and its driver was actually zero.
"Don't follow me, the place I'm going to next will be very dangerous!" Xiziyue scolded the other party loudly, without any intention of slowing down.
"I know, but you are here!" Zero took out a loudspeaker from somewhere, and her voice flowed through the air.
"I might die too!"
"Then I'll die with you!" Littleman shouted in his biggest voice, and with the amplification of the loudspeaker, the snow on the branches fell.
"This..." Xiziyue was stunned when she heard this.
She thought that "you are here" meant that you are here, so it was very safe, but now it seems that this is more like some kind of vow to commit suicide.
Wait? When did your relationship with Zero progress to this level? This is not scientific at all!
Taking advantage of the fact that Xiziyue's mind was blank, Zero stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and drifted in front of Xiziyue. Due to the excessive force, he simply hit the tree, making Xiziyue so fierce that she didn't step on the brakes.
"Zero!" Xiziyue frowned. If she really didn't step on the brakes, the consequences would be very serious.
Zero raised his head and looked straight into Xi Ziyue's eyes. Xi Ziyue then noticed that the other party's eyes were red and swollen, which was a sign of tears at any time.
"Zero..." Xiziyue's voice suddenly became lighter.
"Elizabeth is right, you just hope that you, your hug, your smile, and many of yours can make people feel at ease, especially for me... Do you remember when we met on the first day
You rushed down the cliff at an unusual speed. In that case, any cautious commander would choose to shoot you, but I didn't, not because I was calm enough, but because I was
I thought, why not just die like this, so everything would be easy." Zero spoke in simplicity and clarity, and every word seemed to have flowed through her heart many times.
"You..." Xiziyue's heart twitched, and she was vaguely a sign that she would shed tears at any time.
"Everyone living in this safe haven has a reason to survive, either to be able to return to the outside world or to inherit human civilization, but I am not. The only thing that drives me to live is instinct... Yes,
It's just instinct, beast-like instinct. I can't meet the person I like here, nor do I like... I should have died early, but instinct kept me alive until I met you
....”
Zero slowly stretched out his hand towards Xiziyue, as if it was a certain posture of exchanging contracts: "The man is dead, I am still trapped in his past and can't get out, but you said that I had resisted him, since that's the case
It will prove to me! Even without him, I can still live well and fulfill your promise to create a future for all of us... Take me with you! Xiziyue!"
With a bang, the two hands overlapped with crisp sounds, as if the contract was concluded.
The snow began to melt inexplicably. When both sides looked up, they realized that at the last moment, everyone could not hold back their tears.
In the Chairman's Mansion, Elizabeth and Greer listened to the conversation from afar.
It’s not that she installed a monitor on the motorcycle, but that the forest was full of monitoring devices and even monitoring devices. It’s hard not to listen to the inappropriate ones.
There was a vibration from the street outside, and several armored jeeps were running.
"Oh, everyone found out that Xiziyue was leaving, and they couldn't help but follow her." Grel said, dragging her cheeks.
In addition to the Chairman's Office being able to monitor the movements of various surveillance, the soldiers on duty can of course also hear that with the appeal that Xiziyue has accumulated over the past few days, coupled with her conversation with Zero, which is suspected of being a pledge.
It's hard not to make people impulsive.
"Greer, do you think they are following Xiziyue or following a hopeful future?" Elizabeth lay on the balcony bench, blew comfortably in the cold morning wind.
"I think there should be both, and there is no contradiction between them... By the way, is it really good to walk so many people at once? After all, what should we do after we run?"
"It's okay, there will always be people who are willing to stick to their positions, and I have this." Elizabeth shook the back of her right hand at Greer.
"What is this?"
"Brand? She has transferred this Nibelon root to my name. Unless Odin's attack is done again, ordinary dragons cannot open it."
"Oh, it turns out to be a brand."
"Why are you not surprised at all? When did the power of the Dragon King become so cheap in your eyes?"
"Oh, it turns out that Xiziyue is the Dragon King, it's really beyond people's expectations. This country is one country and one country."
"Okay, this is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see, it is really not a big news... Then again, don't you want to go with her? Look at the so-called hope, the end of fate, beautiful
The future.”
"Of course I think about it, but now it's too late. I'm not like those stinky men. I can handle it with just a little cigarette, rations and wine. I have a lot of things I need, and I can't prepare for it for a long time.
over."
"It's ready for you."
"Hmm?" Greer was stunned.
Elizabeth threw a bunch of keys to Greer: "The underground three-story parking garage, where there is only one car, with everything you need, even what you don't need, go down the underground passage and soon
Be able to catch up with their progress... Be honest with yourself and never use some irrelevant reasons to deceive your true wishes."
Grel held the car keys and was silent for a long time, then he cheered with great enlightenment: "Long live the head of the family!"
"I'm still at the head of the family, and I've said that I have to call the chairman here!"
"Goodbye, Madam Chairman...I'll take this away too." Grel took a small box from the bookcase.
"Put down my mahjong! If you are bored on the road, can't you play poker honestly?" Elizabeth was furious.
"What does it matter! Anyway, gambling is prohibited here, and you can't get a table of card friends, so it's better to sponsor us!"
Chapter completed!
