Qi Tian drove a jeep in the yellow sand, and the rumbling noise made Carlos, who was sitting in the passenger seat, drowsy. Qi Tian felt quite bored, so he randomly found a topic to chat about.
"You used to live with your adoptive father in a city with just the two of you?"
"It's not even a city, it's just a house surrounded by trees and many animals. I like wolves very much and there are them around my house."
"You look just like a wolf, very smart."
Carlos has pure black hair, dark green eyes, and a mole under the left corner of his eye. His face tends to be neutral in appearance, with a mix of yellow and white. His eye sockets are deeper than ordinary people. When he is expressionless, he looks very cunning, like a wolf at night.
"Thank you, do you mean I'm handsome?"
"That's understandable. What kind of animal do you think I look like?" Since we've brought up this topic, let's follow the lead and ask.
"You? Um..." Carlos observed Qi Tian's profile carefully.
Qi Tian is mediocre in every aspect. She has short black hair with sideburns just above her ears. She habitually tucks her sideburns behind her ears. Her eyebrows are thick and thick, and she seems to frown often. Qi Tian's eye mole is above the right corner of her eye and is often covered by bangs.
If you block it, you won't be able to see it if you don't pay attention.
Even the most ordinary Asian dark brown eyes make Carlos feel strange, because she herself is green and her adoptive father is red. Mediocrity is another kind of strangeness among many strangenesses.
Qi Tian has three layers of eyelids. His face looks like he hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, but overall he feels very energetic.
Carlos recalled how Qi Tian shot a tiger on his motorcycle. Then he looked at her ordinary appearance. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Owl?"
"Huh? Owl?"
"Um."
"The owl...is not bad either."
Qi Tian drove without looking at the navigation system and just kept driving forward. After driving for several hours, the sunset came out, and there was still yellow sand in front of him. He didn't encounter anything interesting on the road. It was quite boring.
Suddenly, Qi Tian seemed to have discovered something and immediately stopped, throwing Carlos, who was not wearing a seat belt, onto the passenger drawer. His ribs hit the drawer and he screamed in pain.
"What's going on with you! Why did you stop suddenly?!"
"See for yourself."
Carlos adjusted his posture and caressed his still aching ribs. Qi Tian closed the last gap in the car window. Through the glass, Carlos saw a sandstorm on the driving route, blowing in their direction.
"Sandstorm?! Drive the car away!"
"It's okay. I'll check if the windows are all closed. If there's no problem, we can stay in the car safely and get some sleep."
Qi Tian put down the back of the car and squatted in the car to check all the windows. After confirming that they were all tightly closed, he lay down peacefully.
Carlos looked at the sandstorm in front of him, and then at Qi Tian who was about to fall asleep next to him: "You have such a good attitude."
"I was also panicked when we first met, but it was already six or seven years ago. Aren't I still fine?"
When the sand blew past, Qi Tian and Carlos both put down the backs of their chairs and lay flat on their backs. Carlos always felt scared when they heard the sound of wind and sand outside. Suddenly her stomach growled, and the two of them remembered that they hadn't eaten much yet.
Qi Tian opened the box containing the fruit. The ice cubes used to keep it fresh had not melted at all. The fruit was ice cold and his hands were a little cold. He took out the fruit and gave it to Carlos. He took a bite and his mouth was filled with juice.
"Are you full?" Qi Tian closed the box and looked at Carlos eating the fruit with relish, feeling a little relieved.
Carlos looked at the fruit in his hand that required two hands to hold it firmly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Wait until I'm hungry?"
"OK."
"But why are there ice cubes here? And it hasn't melted at all."
"Huh? You don't know?"
Qi Tian suddenly looked at Carlos strangely. Carlos felt uncomfortable being stared at and was very puzzled: "What do you know?"
Qi Tian took out an unengraved gem from the car door slot next to him. The gem shone with colorful light and was only the size of Qi Tian's two fingers: "You don't seem to know this?"
Carlos reached out and took the gem from Qi Tian's hand. The light reflected by the gem was colorful, but it was silver, and he could feel the warmth in his hand.
"How can it release heat? Is it a radioactive element?"
Carlos threw it back into Qi Tian's arms. Qi Tian picked it up, put the gem in his hand, and explained happily: "This was decades ago, and energy could be released without relying on other media. It was indeed basically radioactive elements. But this
It's a spiritual stone. After the spiritual energy is revived, living things cannot be directly controlled, and the extra spiritual energy goes into this stone that can withstand them."
"Spiritual stone?"
"You can do many things to control all things in the world with the help of spiritual stones. However, living things cannot directly use spiritual power, even if it is in spiritual stones. So now many people use it to improve the quality of life, such as putting it in an incubator.
In the car, like lighting a lamp and making a fire..."
"Is it really that powerful? Will the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone be used up?"
"Of course it will. After the spirit stones are used up, they will turn into ordinary gemstones and be made into jewelry and sold. I have been to many newly built cities that do this."
Carlos's world view seemed to be reshaped. She gnawed on the fruit in her hand blankly, listening to Qi Tian's words in surprise.
Qitian also told her that due to the disaster and the outbreak of zombies many years ago, there are very few human beings now. Most of the people who can encounter and communicate with each other are monsters if they are not lucky enough to survive.
Yokai usually refer to ghosts and spirits with animal characteristics. Some of them don't like humans, some are neutral, and some think that humans are a weak group without weapons and cannot defend themselves. In short, they basically feel that humans are pitiful.
If you meet one day, don't let the other person know that you are a human being. If you have to let them know that you are a human being, try your best to let them know that you are not easy to mess with. It is best not to over-emphasize, such as talking arrogantly or dancing with joy.
Whoever you put it on will think the other person is a fool.
"Well, but I'm really weak..." Carlos finished the last bite of fruit and chewed it bitterly.
"Then just follow me closely."
"Are you strong?"
"It's not strong either, maybe it's just a little special."
"Well...since you have been living in the outside world for so long, I shouldn't question you." Carlos shrank sadly.
"It doesn't matter, you've just started. Speaking of which, when did you come out?"
"This morning."
"Hiss...that is to say, it was less than twenty-four hours before you ran away from home?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"I'm a little surprised. In this case, we met on the first day. Why isn't it a kind of fate? Don't worry, I'll take you through."
"Thanks."
"It's okay, it's okay." This chapter has been completed!
