Although it is not clear what exactly happened, there is no doubt that the disappearance of the abomination is related to the man in front of him.
As the leader of the refuge, the woman's head is naturally not broken—whether the man in front of her has the power to command the gods or scare the gods away (she doesn't believe that the gods can be killed), it is not her side that can deal with it of.
In fact, from the beginning just now, the other party's look of confidence has already explained this point.
After weighing the pros and cons, she finally gave up the choice of confronting the opponent with swords.
"Who are you guys, and what is the purpose of coming here?"
After retreating from the screen and finally rushing to the crystal high platform, after the soldiers who wanted to escort them, she asked Xu Shenxing and the others expressionlessly.
"Why does this thing appear here?"
Only then did Xu Shenxing turn around and ask the other party back.
"Are you talking about the sacred artifact?" The woman paused, as if she was remembering something: "That's a very long story..."
"Long story short."
Xu Shenxing said without hesitation.
"..." The woman seemed to be choking heavily, and she subconsciously rolled her eyes.
But then she immediately calmed down and began to tell the story of the past.
Like many stories, the beginning starts from a long, long time ago.
That was when the world hadn't collapsed, and humans weren't on the brink of extinction.
At that time, the woman was just an ordinary cardamom girl.
"Wait a minute, I think the time from 'cardamom girl' to what you are now, can't be described as 'a long, long time ago'?" Chang Xiaoxian raised her hand to interrupt the other party.
"How old do you think I am now?"
The woman did not answer directly, but asked first.
"Hmm, thirty?" Chang Xiaoxian tried to guess.
"Unfortunately, I am over one hundred and fifty years old."
The other party shook his head and announced the correct answer: "The power of the holy vessel has greatly delayed my aging, and allowed me to witness the decline of the world—the children in the refuge have never seen the world before the destruction. All I can see is this burned waste land, and the peaceful and prosperous life of the people in the past is almost regarded as a myth."
Chang Xiaoxian was speechless immediately.
The woman did not continue to talk about this topic, but continued to talk about it step by step.
"At that time, no one realized that the destruction was just around the corner...including me."
"Until one day, my peaceful life was broken by an unexpected guest."
There was a strange look in the woman's eyes.
"That's a man with a physique stronger than a bear and eyes sharper than an eagle. ——At that time, he smashed through the ceiling of my house and fell directly into my room, which shocked me."
By the way, the bear and eagle in this sentence are translated by Jiahu, and the original sentence should be some kind of similar animal that originally existed in this world.
When the woman said this, Xu Shenxing's eyes lit up, but the other party did not continue to describe the man's appearance, but continued to tell the story.
At that time, the man's condition was not good, not to mention that he was already unconscious, and there were many bandages wrapped around his body. In addition, he could vaguely see blood oozing from under the bandages. It seemed that the wound had opened.
For some reason, the woman who was alone at home did not call the police or an ambulance, but took out the bandages at home and rewrapped her.
"When I took off the bandages on his body, I was shocked... I never thought that human beings could survive such serious injuries." Even after hundreds of years, the woman recalled At that scene, I still can't help but sigh.
Along with the man dropped into her house, there was also a long gun wrapped in canvas—
That's right, it is the "holy weapon" inserted in the bonfire.
It's just that at that time the woman couldn't move the gun at all, because it was so heavy that she couldn't lift it.
"Actually, this thing is not physically heavy, but rather "heavy" in terms of laws. Under normal circumstances, it will not smash through the floor or sink directly into the soil, but neither humans nor machines can Pick it up with the master's consent."
When talking about spears, Xu Shenxing interjected in a rare way to explain.
"You know about the sacred vessel?" The woman was a little surprised.
"I also contributed to the casting of this thing, what do you think?"
Xu Shenxing replied with a half-smile.
"So that's why I was rude."
If the woman had a perfunctory attitude before and just wanted to get rid of Xu Shenxing and other big troubles as soon as possible, then now she finally understands that Xu Shenxing is on the same level as the person she admires .
Only then did she have sincere respect for Xu Shenxing and the others from the bottom of her heart.
"After he lay in my room for a day, the end of the world came suddenly."
Then, the woman told the highlight of the story.
"The sky shattered like a mirror, as if countless invisible boulders fell from the sky, smashing the city to pieces, the land collapsed and the terrain changed drastically in seconds, and people ran away in a hurry But there is no place that can be called safe. After that, even time itself has problems. The surrounding architectural styles continue to change from era to era, and people’s clothes, and people’s clothes also change. Various scenes in a messy street."
The woman's face darkened, as if recalling that horrible past.
Lu Wu on the side also showed a clear look, it seems that the ever-changing ruins outside were probably the expression of that time.
"Just when my house was about to be crushed by a collapsing building, that person woke up."
When the other party mentioned this point, Chang Xiaoxian noticed that the woman's face, which had been tense just now, relaxed, and that young girl's longing and nostalgic expression appeared on that ageless face.
"After understanding the situation at that time in a few seconds, he didn't use the holy weapon. He just waved his hand and split the collapsed building in half with the knife in his hand!"
"I always feel that this description is slightly familiar..." Chang Xiaoxian's eyes fell on Xu Shenxing.
Among the people she knew, Xu Shenxing was the only one who could do this with the body (physics) without resorting to spells and treasures.
At this time, Xu Shenxing had a serious face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"After that, he said that in order to repay my treatment, he protected me all the way and came to this refuge—at that time, it was just the largest underground parking lot in the city."
The woman did not stop because of Chang Xiaoxian's words, but continued to tell the story of the past: "Because of the change of terrain, this parking lot has long been changed, but he thought it would be safer here, so he decided to let me Stay here for now. Then, he ignited this pile of 'seed fire' that can burn forever without fuel and will never be extinguished, and inserted the holy artifact into it, asserting that as long as the sacred artifact is still there, I can stay here live on..."
"What about him?" At this time, Xu Shenxing asked suddenly.
"He left after doing all this." The woman replied sadly: "He said that he did something wrong, and he was sorry for a person named 'Xu Shenxing'. In order to make up for that mistake, there is something that must be done, After finishing it, he will come back to retrieve the sacred artifact... But more than a hundred years have passed, but he has never appeared again."
