In this sudden and severe cold, many people are living in ways that were once unimaginable.
Under the shady sky, even the falling snow looked gray.
This is the most desolate area between the two cities. Even in the era when the transportation economy was extremely developed, there were few living people in this place except for the cars on the road.
There is no other reason. This place with continuous mountains is actually close to the border of China. It is only separated from the westernmost border city of country C by the vast and barren Gobi Desert.
It is almost impossible to cross by manpower alone.
It turned out that there were only mountains here. Later, in order to serve the traffic, the mountains were deliberately split from the middle, and a wide national road was opened from the middle, which is also the only way to the border.
At this time, on both sides of the national road, on the mountain that was split in half, a young man was hunting.
The young man looked fourteen or fifteen years old. He was still in middle and high school before the apocalypse.
He was wearing a not-so-heavy cotton-padded coat, and was squatting behind a tree trunk, his body was in a ready posture, and his eyes were fixed on the front.
As far as he could see, a rabbit with snow-white fur was wriggling in the snow, as if trying to dig out a little grass to eat under the falling snow.
In the last days, human life becomes difficult, and so do animals.
The young man looked at the rabbit with saliva flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help licking his lips.
Since this severe cold came, the animals are not the animals they used to be, and the possibility of being hunted by them is even greater than that of catching them.
He has seen giant wolves that look like zombies, cockroaches that are big enough for people to ride on, and all kinds of things that only appear in fantasy movies.
And now it is very rare to see a rabbit that looks normal.
"Cuckoo."
Because the stomach has not eaten for a long time, just by imagining the picture of the rabbit entering the pot, it can't help but twitch and scream.
Worried that the sound would disturb the rabbit, the young man pressed his stomach hard and looked ahead more vigilantly.
Holding the baseball bat in his hand, he stepped forward cautiously.
"Crench."
The sound of stepping on the snow made his heart hang even higher.
"boom-"
I don't know if it was because the weather was too cold, and the rabbit was paralyzed by the freezing, but it stopped motionless in place, and was knocked unconscious by the boy with a smooth stick.
The young man showed a happy expression and held the back of the rabbit's neck with great interest. He didn't know what to think of, and anxiety and anticipation flashed on his face again.
He was carrying the rabbit and was about to turn around.
Suddenly, the sound of heavy breathing came from not far away, making the boy's whole body stiff.
There was intense fear and shock in his eyes.
Hu-chi-hu-chi-
Click.
The sound of the dead branches being stepped on was no less than a call from the depths of hell to him.
He didn't dare to move, a huge shadow shrouded his back, and he was as small as an ant in this shadow.
"Gollum—"
Like the feline voice that comes out of the throat, it is common in hunger and pleasure.
The young man turned his head inch by inch, and in his dilated pupils, a face with a large basin and sharp teeth was reflected.
This is a tiger, or it should have been a tiger.
But now, its whole body has swelled to four or five times the size of an ordinary tiger, and the fur on its body is stretched and covered with iron-like skin.
The fangs on the side of its face were as long as ivory, and the dripping saliva slowly flowed onto the tips of the teeth and dripped into the snow.
In the ginger-colored eyes the size of the copper bell, he stared at the boy's expression. The former boy stared at the rabbit.
The scream was suppressed in his throat, and the young man could barely control his hands and feet and took a few steps back. Under the tiger's big mouth, he turned around and ran away with his survival instinct!
"Ow-"
The roar of the tiger resounded through the forest, carrying the anger of the escaped prey.
How to do how to do.
The footsteps of the mutant tiger followed, and the young man's heart was filled with fear, full of the danger that his head would be bitten off at any time.
His vision swayed due to the violent running, and he felt that his strength was disappearing. Just as despair appeared in his eyes, he suddenly felt pain in his knees, and his already unstable body immediately fell to the ground.
A stone from nowhere hit him in the knee.
At this time, there was a steep slope beside the boy, he struggled unsteadily, and Gulu rolled down from the top.
The pain of being scratched on the face can't compare to your disgusting fear. When he stopped, he tried to get up and continue to run away.
However, a hand stretched out out of nowhere and grabbed his arm. He couldn't even resist, and the handle was dragged to the ground.
Immediately, that hand kept pulling him hard, and his vision suddenly darkened.
"open-"
A sharp sound came out of the boy's throat, and in the next second, only soft and slender hands covered his mouth and nose vigorously.
"Shut up."
A clear and beautiful female voice sounded softly, and because of the low tone, it seemed a little hoarse and sexy in this small and dark environment.
The boy suddenly widened his eyes.
girl...
Immediately, he flashed a ruthless color, and grabbed his wrist with his backhand!
But before his resistance was put into practice, the raised hand was easily slapped by the other side.
The teenager was stunned.
He rolled his eyes with difficulty, only to realize that he had been dragged into a hidden cave.
A girl was very close to him, frowning at the entrance of the hole, covering his mouth with one hand, and piled up fallen leaves and twigs as cover with the other.
The young man glanced at her and was stunned when he saw her beautiful and delicate profile face. Because of the side view, the girl's cool and silky black hair fell in front of him.
The vigilance in front of him gradually disappeared, and the boy's face turned red.
He was also a vigorous age, and he had never even touched a girl's little hand before, but he was suddenly saved by such a beautiful girl, and he was squeezed into such a dark and small place...
Chi Xin felt that his face under his palm was gradually heating up, and he glanced back suspiciously. Seeing that the little black boy seemed to have calmed down, he moved his hand away.
The young man felt that she was a little far away from him, and there was a flash of reluctance in his eyes, but when he saw her looking out vigilantly, he remembered that he was running for his life, and there was someone outside who could tear them apart. open guy!
He jumped up and down, knocking his head hard to the top of the cave.
Cells: …
There is something wrong with this young man's mind.
"Quiet down." She had to remind her again, "Do you want to be discovered by Huzi?"
The boy's stunned face was covered with fear again.
He looked at the slender figure of the girl and sighed, "Thank you for saving me just now, but we should be dying soon."
"The tiger hasn't come yet, why are you so pessimistic?" Chi Xin made a "hush" gesture and looked outside intently.
She felt the boy's eyes stay on her for a moment.
Chi Xin ignored him.
She just heard the roar of the tiger. She was thinking about her own business and wanted to go around, but she didn't expect to see a child running for her life.
Now that it is in front of you, you can't die without help.
The two of them squatted at the entrance of the cave and carefully pressed their breaths.
It didn't take a moment for the mutant tiger to follow him to this film.
It made a whirring sound in its throat, and its big yellow eyes glanced around.
It is so big that when you walk past the entrance of the hole, the pool core can even feel the earth slag that has been shaken from it.
She heard the boy's gasping voice, and looked at him warningly.
Seeing her without fear, the young man even looked very calm and calm, and when he forgot his fear, there was a hint of surprise on his face.
Standing on the side of the pool core, sticking himself to the side of the hole, watching the huge claws of the mutant tiger pass in front of him.
Suddenly, it stopped in front of the hole.
Chi Xin could almost feel the cold air on the long fingernails of the mutant tigers that were close to the hole.
Glancing at the young man, Chi Xin felt that he was about to faint, so he should not be able to count on it.
She briefly evaluated the mutated tiger and her own combat power, feasible!
Even if she didn't want to face this thing again, she still took a deep breath and pushed the hole, she had to strike first.
But before she could step out of the hole, a long wolf howl sounded from not far away, Chi Xin was stunned for a while, a white shadow and lightning galloped past the mutant tiger fiercely. !
"Ow—"
The mutant wolf, which is slightly smaller than the mutant tiger, bit the tiger's neck in one bite.
The two ferocious giant beasts trembled so violently that the boy was stunned.
"This, this?" The boy rubbed his eyes forcefully.
He didn't realize that after seeing the giant wolf's figure, the tension in Chi Xin's eyes suddenly weakened. She looked at the giant wolf's figure, and even flashed a look of nostalgia.
In the eyes of the young man, this scene is tantamount to the collapse of the sky and the earth.
A mutant tiger is enough to cramp them to the bone, and now there is a giant wolf who is also not easy to mess with... They are fighting each other now, but if they think there is no need to fight for a while, the two prey Can it be just one
The boy's eyes quickly rolled a few times, and the hand that was holding the rabbit trembled a little.
"Let's run now," he whispered, not knowing what he was talking about, "Let's run while the two of them fight together."
Looking at the young man who was almost helpless, Chi Xin asked, "Calm down, do you really think it's the right time to run?"
"boom-"
The giant wolf was thrown in the direction of the cave by the mutant tiger, and its huge body slammed into the entrance of the cave. The huge impact made the young man fall to the ground.
On the other hand, Chi Xin was only slightly shaken, and then stabilized his balance.
The young man raised his head and looked at Chi Xin's clear and calm eyes, with a look of despair in his eyes.
Can't run.
They are still fighting, precisely because the prey are firmly guarded in an inescapable place. Once they escape, with the thinking of beasts, they will immediately give up the fight and pursue them with all their strength.
At that time, they will have to face the attack of two giant beasts.
Chi Xin saw that he seemed to have given up the bad idea of running away immediately, and turned his eyes to the outside again. At this time, the giant wolf was obviously invincible, with blood dripping from his body and a whimpering sound in his throat.
before it hit the hole, as if it had exhausted its strength.
The mutant tiger didn't suffer much damage at all. It lowered its head and licked its front paws. With the proud attitude of a winner, it slowly walked towards this side.
In its view, all the living creatures here are its prey, and there is no possibility of escape.
"It's over, it's over, it's over." With a desperate expression on the boy's face, he moved back stiffly, doing the final useless effort.
In the terrified eyes of the teenager, Chi Xin reached out and touched the long hair of the giant wolf that was close at hand.
"you-"
The young man was stunned.
Chi Xin flexed one leg and seemed to have a sign of stepping out of the hole.
A struggle flashed across the boy's face, he was caught by the dead fish on the shore, he opened his mouth to take a few breaths, but still said: "Don't go, wait for it to eat this wolf's food later. At some point, we may still have a chance to escape."
He thought Chi Xin was crazy and wanted to rush to his death.
Then he saw that the beautiful and weak girl turned her dark eyes back and smiled slightly at him.
The smile was gentle and calm.
Just when he was panicking about this, he felt that she quickly stretched out her hand, and before he could react, he felt that her hand was empty.
Looking down, she found that the rabbit that she had been holding in her hand was shoved by her at this moment.
The young man showed a hint of astonishment.
In the next second, the girl stepped forward with her long legs and stepped out of the small cave firmly.
The young man only felt her figure pause in front of his eyes for a moment, and then, like an arrow from the string, he jumped straight towards the oncoming mutant tiger!
He ignored the giant wolf lying at the entrance of the cave, hurriedly crawled to the entrance of the cave, and pushed aside the branches that blocked his sight.
"This, this..." He was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he was speechless.
The moment Chi Xin stepped out of the hole, he felt the strong pressure of facing the mutant tiger.
Facing its sense of threat, it is not even weaker than the mutant zombies I have seen before.
Chi Xin's combat system was activated in seconds, and when she stepped out, she threw the rabbit in her hand towards the mutant tiger's face!
Dogs are conditioned to pick up things thrown by people, and so do cats.
Even cats are more reluctant than dogs to accept moving things dangling in front of their eyes.
Seeing that ferocious giant tiger, when he saw the rabbit flying towards him, he immediately restrained his grinning expression and stared at the air without blinking.
It jumped up suddenly and opened its mouth to grab the rabbit!
Right now!
When Chi Xin seized the opportunity, his figure suddenly burst into flames, and the speed was pulled to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of the mutant tiger!
The mutant tiger had just bitten the rabbit at this time, its sharp teeth were clenched, and the sound of chewing its bones and muscles was horrifying.
Although it is using its teeth now, no matter how fast the reaction is, it cannot immediately attack the core.
Chi Xin seized this little time difference, and grasped the big teeth that it didn't have time to open, and a thin layer of muscle suddenly burst out on his arm, and drank it with a deep voice!
"Ow—"
In the painful howl of the mutant tiger, which seemed indestructible, gave the teenager countless despair, and the big tooth that scarred the giant wolf, Chi Xin broke it to both sides.
Boom.
Chi Xin held two tiger teeth, and with a short stature, he avoided the indiscriminate attack of the mutant tiger.
right here!
Instead of retreating, she advanced, facing the sharp claws that the mutant tiger slapped head-on, stepping on its fallen claws, turning over, using its face as a force, and turning down onto its back.
Oh, I haven't done such intense movements for a few days, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth.
The smooth movements brought great confidence to Chi Xin, the unseen anxiety of others gradually eased, and Chi Xin's strike became more and more hesitant.
She stabilized her figure on the back of the trembling giant tiger, raised the fangs in her hand, and slammed into the mutant tiger's eyes.
"Woo-"
The mutant tiger's movements stopped abruptly, it froze in place for a moment, and whimpered weakly.
The mountain-sized body collapsed suddenly.
When it fell, the pool core pulled out the tiger's teeth and jumped off the tiger's back with a simple forward somersault.
She turned around and looked at the location of the hole, and the blood of the mutant tiger slowly dripped from the white tips of her teeth.
"You didn't run." Chi Xin blinked in surprise.
She thought that with the boy's will to survive, she would run away without hesitation when she dragged the mutant tiger.
The young man opened his mouth and stayed at the entrance of the cave, but did not speak for a long time.
He saw Chi Xin strode over, stretched out his hand to touch the neck of the giant wolf lying on the ground, and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you alright?"
In his even more incredible gaze, the giant wolf raised his head with difficulty and nodded.
Chi Xin paused for a few seconds, showing a look of disapproval. She was about to do something when her expression suddenly froze, and she looked at the boy uncomfortably, "Is my bag still in the hole?"
The young man looked back dreamily, and sure enough, he saw a simple backpack on the ground.
He picked it up, hesitated, and handed it to Chi Xin.
Chi Xin glanced at him, reached into his bag without a word, and took out a bottle of amoxicillin.
Seeing the extremely precious antibiotics in the last days, the boy was shocked, and his eyes reddened when he looked at the medicine bottle.
Chi Xin ignored him, poured out a handful without hesitation, and handed it to the giant wolf, "Open your mouth."
The giant wolf's huge eyes looked at her, not the slightest bit of vigilance or hostility, but a faint doubt.
"It can heal your wounds," Chi Xin said. "You can't just rely on your own health to let it recover."
The giant wolf opened his mouth obediently, and Chi Xin threw it all the medicine in his hand.
The boy breathed suddenly and asked incredulously, "This is... amoxicillin? How dare you give such a precious thing to the alpha wolf? Who knows if it will get up and kill you once it recovers. !"
"This wolf tried to save your life just now." Chi Xin said lightly.
She touched the big head of the giant wolf, "Can you still get up?"
The giant wolf flexed his limbs, stood up carefully, and answered her with his movements.
It was fine when it was lying down just now. When it stood up, it immediately brought a sense of danger no less than the mutant tiger before. The young man couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes showing fear: "It's going to eat us!"
Chi Xin shook his head, "Relax."
She looked left and right, and asked expectantly, "Has your king come here?"
The giant wolf glanced at the startled boy, and there was a trace of contempt in his pupils.
It leaned its head down and rubbed lightly in Chi Xin's arms.
Chi Xin looked disappointed.
"Okay," she said. "You should be careful."
The young man thought that what he experienced today was enough to subvert his cognition and make him immersed in shock for a long time.
But who knew that the scene he saw in the next moment made him have deep doubts about the world.
When the giant wolf heard Chi Xin's words, he took a few steps back.
Facing the pool core, it carefully and respectfully bent down its half body and head, and saluted the pool core.
Chi Xin smiled and waved at it.
Until the figure of the giant wolf disappeared in the jungle, the young man was still unable to grasp it for a long time.
Chi Xin looked back and determined that the mutant tiger was completely dead. He bent over and picked up the tiger teeth on the ground and handed it to the boy, "I used your rabbit, and there is no other one here to pay you, if you don't mind Use this as compensation."
The shock on the boy's face slowly disappeared, he looked at Chi Xin, hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes.
"Can I ask for something else?" His voice was a little hoarse. "I know you saved me, I shouldn't ask you to do anything else, but, but..."
He said, as if he felt shameless, and lowered his head in embarrassment.
There was a vague idea in Chi Xin's mind, "What do you want?"
"Amoxicillin." The boy's voice was barely audible.
Chi Xin's five senses are keen, and she naturally heard his murmur. She raised her eyebrows: "Anyone in your family is injured?"
"At this time, how can you not get hurt at all." The young man lowered his head, "A mutant beast attacked my village before, and everyone died. I want to prepare more medicine, always be prepared."
He didn't want Chi Xin to see the tension on his face.
Chi Xin: "There is no label on my bottle, but you recognize amoxicillin. You used to be good at chemistry, right?"
The young man seemed to have been stabbed in a soft underbelly, his breathing suddenly stagnated, and he did not speak for a long time.
Chi Xin had no intention of asking, she showed a thoughtful look, suddenly thought of something, patted her forehead: "Damn!"
The boy immediately raised his head nervously, thinking that something terrible had happened again.
"I accidentally delayed too long." Chi Xin pulled out her legs and wanted to leave. Seeing the disappointed expression on the boy's face, she stepped back in front of him again.
She shook her sharp teeth: "You really don't want this?"
The young man shook his head in a daze, "I'm embarrassed to ask for your things again."
When Chi Xin heard the words, he stuffed Huya into the bag and took out the bottle of amoxicillin from the space with the help of the cover of the bag, "I'll give you this, I can't take your rabbit for nothing."
A huge surprise broke out on the boy's face, he looked up at Chi Xin, his eyes were red.
"me… "
"Take it." Chi Xin stuffed the medicine bottle into his hand.
The boy's lips quivered violently, and tears fell.
In the apocalypse, everyone has their own suffering, Chi Xin turned his eyes away, unintentionally surprised at the youth's fragility.
The teenager held the medicine bottle tightly and made a great determination: "I, my name is Yongning, you can tell me to do anything to repay you."
"Yongning, a good name." Chi Xin raised his beautifully shaped eyes, and there was a slight smile in the corners of his eyes.
"Then you can live well until the end of the apocalypse."
After speaking, she seemed to be calm and unrestrained, but in fact, she turned around and left at a faster pace.
Looking at her back, Yong Ning's eyes showed strong emotions.
Chi Xin put the backpack on her back and felt that she had left Yong Ning's line of sight. She looked left and right, identified the downward direction, and ran away.
It didn't feel good to have the backpack tossing around behind her, but in order to hide the existence of the space, she had to use a bag as a cover, which made her very helpless.
I didn't expect to be delayed for so long, I don't know if I can catch up-
Chi Xin ran to the side of the mountain next to the national highway, looked forward anxiously, there was no figure in his intention, and his heart sank.
She took a deep breath and started to charge forward again.
She was not slow, she ran along the edge of the national road for about half an hour, and she stopped.
Three swaying figures appeared in the field of vision, and Chi Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
Accidentally, I almost lost the protagonist group.
Seeing the backs of the three of them without incident, Chi Xin pouted, and with the help of the tree trunk's cover, he fell far behind them.
To say why she used such a humiliating way, I have to start from the time when Longteng—no, it should be renamed Fengpushan Base now.
At that time, the war had just ended, and they searched everywhere to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net. When discussing their respective ways forward, Chi Xin thought that the protagonist group would unswervingly go to country a to find the laboratory, so he refused them together. An invitation to hit the road.
But they were slapped in the face by Yu Xiang the second they refused, revealing that they already knew the location of the "market" and planned to go there to deal with things.
This makes the pool core full of a sense of lying.
But the words had already been said, and she was embarrassed to take back the foreword. After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't know which muscle cramped, and she came up with such a bad idea of silently following behind.
In the past few days, she has regretted this decision countless times.
Chi Xin's heart fluctuated greatly, so he accidentally ran over and got closer to the protagonist group.
She screamed badly, and immediately buried herself.
As soon as she lowered her head, Jing Xiubai raised her eyes and looked up.
His glasses were shattered in the battle, and those in the barren mountains couldn't find another one. The eyes that looked up were so clear and sharp that Chi Xin was terrified.
… what the hell kind of idea is this!
Chi Xin cursed inwardly again.
But it was done, so she had to continue squatting here, waiting for Jing Xiubai to dispel her doubts, and the three of them continued to walk forward.
Fortunately, hesitantly, she rushed over her head just now. At the current distance, she could faintly hear the voices of the three of them.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xiang asked.
"Nothing." Jing Xiubai said.
Jiang Congjun: "Did you feel uneasy just now by being a wolf and a tiger?"
"That's probably because they started fighting on their own." Yu Xiang said.
Jing Xiubai just shook his head.
Seeing that there was no suspicion that someone was following, Chi Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
She followed carefully.
"We have to find a car as soon as possible." Yu Xiang said, "It's easy to say whether I'm tired or not, just look at this ghost weather, who knows what tomorrow will be like."
Jiang Congjun expressed his intentions.
Yu Xiang: "Speaking of Congyun, your space is so versatile, but you can't put it in a car?"
Ok? The core pricked up his ears.
"No." Jiang Congyun shook her head, her voice was soft and elegant, and she lowered her voice: "..."
Chi Xin didn't hear clearly, she leaned forward again, but still couldn't hear Jiang Congyun's voice was too low.
But she still heard the information revealed, she tilted her head with a puzzled expression on her face.
It is a pity that they cannot be questioned right now.
"Crossing this national road, you can reach Umr. Although it is a border, it used to be a big city. After we get there, we will replenish the supplies and see if there are any cars." Jing Xiu Bai said, and looked up thoughtfully.
Chi Xin immediately shrank in fright.
"Isn't it not far from the 'market' after arriving at Umr?"
Jing Xiubai: "There is still some distance. The vastness of the border is far beyond the imagination of those who have never been there."
"I know, I know, I've been there before, the locals call it 'neighboring city' and 'not far', and it's not bad for a good guy to drive for three or four hours." Yu Xiang became a little interested, and immediately He wilted again quickly, "It's been such a long journey, it would be good if the core of the fruit pool was also there."
Mentioning Chi Xin's name, the other two were slightly silent.
"I miss Chi Xin so much, I don't know what year and month I'll be able to see you." Yu Xiang sighed, his tone was grief-stricken, if he didn't know, he thought Chi Xin had died.
The pool core is both angry and funny.
"Don't be so pessimistic." Jiang Congyun comforted him, "Chi Xin Shenlong sees the beginning but not the end, maybe she will appear in front of us again sometime."
"Really?" Yu Xiang's eyes sparkled, "You always keep me from talking, so what Cong Yun said must be right?"
Thinking of Yu Xiang's crow mouth, Chi Xin couldn't help grinning.
"I'd rather I be right." Jiang Congyun rolled his eyes angrily, "Do you think I want to go with you two stinky men?"
"Xiubai, we were completely disgusted." Yu Xiang pretended to be crying and came to the other side of Jing Xiubai, and was slapped away by him in disgust.
"Oh." Yu Xiang said, "I see, only Chi Xin will not dislike me."
No. The pool core is silent. I don't want to play with fools either.
Naturally, Yu Xiang didn't hear the rebuttal from Chi Xin himself, he was silent for a while, and his tone was a lot more serious: "I really hope Chi Xin can come with us, after all what we have to do... With her here, I always feel that any difficulties are not a problem.”
This Yu Xiang... Chi Xin's face turned red.
"You are too dependent on her." Jing Xiubai said, "She is very strong, but she is also a person. When she is tired, don't disturb her too much."
"Is she really tired?" Yu Xiang thought for a while.
Jiang Congyun: "Why are you still tired?"
Jiang Congyun, who was forced to have a good temper, began to hate people.
Chi Xin smiled silently, his eyes fell on Jing Xiubai, showing a somewhat complicated look.
Since she came to this world, she seems to be used to saving people and being the hope of everyone.
It seems that I have never heard anyone say that Chi Xin is also a person, and she will be tired too.
She lowered her head and stayed in place for a while, and when the three of them had walked a little further, she raised her legs again to follow.
Time quickly arrived at night, the light was one hour, and the body temperature plummeted again.
Chi Xin pulled out a thicker piece of clothing and wrapped it around. Fortunately, my body is not afraid of the cold. I just want to be soft and sturdy when wearing thick clothing.
Time to sleep.
She looked into the distance, and saw that the tent of the protagonist group had been pitched up, and the warm yellow lights were lit inside.
Naturally, it was impossible to sleep on the main road. They entered the woods shallowly and found a leeward spot.
Chi Xin leaned against the big rock that was hiding, and yawned slightly.
Go to sleep and follow up tomorrow.
At least when you're bored, you can listen to Yu Xiang being complained about.
She closed her eyes, and everything fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, the rustling voice woke Chi Xin from her dream, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
someone.
