"Well… "
Bai Zhi opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, there was a hoarseness in his throat.
He spent the entire day yesterday in that underground base. It could be said that he didn't get a drop of water. Not only was he very thirsty, but he was also very hungry.
As if she understood his needs, Hitomi quickly got up from the ground, then went to the still-burning fire and picked up the kettle placed next to it.
Then, she found another broken bowl that was barely complete, carried a bowl of water to the bedside, stretched out her hand to help him up, and handed the bowl of water to his mouth.
"..."
After drinking the bowl of water with a very complicated mood, Bai Zhi was just about to say something when the other party returned to the fire and brought a bowl of porridge, and then sat in front of him with a plastic spoon. To feed him.
"... I can do it myself."
Seeing the serious look in the girl in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitched, and Bai Zhi tried to save his moral integrity.
"It doesn't matter how serious my injuries were before. In fact, those were just skin injuries. Just rest and it will be fine. My recovery ability is amazing. Just put the porridge aside and I will do it myself later."
"..."
Hitomi didn't reply, but stared at him firmly with her eyes. As for the spoon placed at his mouth, she had no intention of moving it away.
After looking at each other for half a minute, Bai Zhi finally lost helplessly.
If you can't resist, just enjoy it.
But to be honest, looking at the Loli in front of him who was feeding him seriously, Bai Zhi always had the illusion in his heart that he was an unscrupulous young man who oppressed maids in the old society...
In such a difficult environment, the other party's bandaging is naturally not very good, and medicines are even more of a luxury.
Wrapped with a relatively clean strip of cloth, and then surrounded with tape, although it was terribly crude, the hemostatic effect was pretty good. He had dozens of wounds, large and small, all over his body, almost consuming all the energy Hitomi had saved in the past. clothing.
With a human's limit of 15 points, Bai Zhi's recovery speed was quite fast. After eating a few bowls of porridge and lying in bed for nearly a day, he was finally able to control his body a little.
During the day when he was lying dead on the bed, Hitomi also took care of him. Although the other person still said very little, Bai Zhi could clearly feel that the other person gradually let down his guard.
Although it was a waste of a day, the corresponding preparations had been made before, so there was no need to rush.
—
"Thank you very much, otherwise I would really be finished this time."
After a little movement of his arms, which were sore from not moving for a long time, Bai Zhi smiled and spoke to the girl sitting by the fire.
"… Um."
After a long while, Hitomi, who had her back turned to him, nodded gently.
"Okay, you should go to bed early. Today was an accident. I will get you something delicious tomorrow."
Bai Zhi smiled nonchalantly, stood up and walked towards the door.
The day after tomorrow will be the time when the city is destroyed. Although his body has just recovered, this night cannot be wasted. He has to go outside the city to make preparations in advance.
But when it passed by the fire, his hand was held by a small hand.
"… Well?"
Bai Zhi lowered his head and glanced at the little hand holding his hand, and turned his head to look at the other person with some doubts.
He lowered his head and played with the fire in front of him, without saying a word.
"Okay, I won't leave, I'll continue telling you a story."
Bai Zhi sighed slightly in his heart and sat down next to the fire.
"Today I will tell you about the rebellious Lu Zhishen..."
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 621 Chapter 613 The Agreement between Fingers
The night ends and the day dawns.
The fire had burned down to ashes and was completely extinguished.
Next to the extinguished fire, Bai Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with one hand on his leg to support his head, suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"...Is it dawn yet?"
Bai Zhi squinted his eyes slightly, and after a few seconds his thoughts returned. Bai Zhi turned his head and looked at the sky outside.
—It’s already getting bright.
"The recovery is not bad. I estimate that I will be able to recover fully by tomorrow morning..."
After roughly sensing the situation on his body at this time, Bai Zhi frowned slightly at first, then slowly relaxed it, and Bai Zhi nodded slightly.
Then, he lowered his head and looked at the sleeping girl who was holding his hand and resting on his leg. Bai Zhi's face looked slightly tangled.
Last night, he originally planned to put Hitomi to sleep and then go out to do some errands, but he didn't expect that in the end, Hitomi would fall asleep holding his hand and leaning on his shoulder in a hazy state. Considering that the other party took care of him all night and all day long, it was not beyond Bai Zhi's expectation that he would fall asleep quickly.
But the problem is... the other party's hug is too tight.
As if she was afraid that he would sneak away, the girl held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go. If she forcibly pulled her hand back, she would definitely wake him up again.
… And then things became what they are now.
To be honest, Bai Zhi feels that his feet and hands are numb now, and they are almost no longer his own...
Fortunately, Hitomi also woke up not long after.
After discovering her current situation, she suddenly woke up and stood up in a hurry.
—Then Bai Zhi, who just happened to lean his head over to ask about the other party's condition, was pushed to the ground.
Bai Zhi: "..."
five minutes later.
"You stay here first, I'll buy some breakfast and come back."
While rubbing his forehead with his hands very depressed, Bai Zhi spoke to the girl in front of him.
"Although I know you don't want to leave here yet, there will be a catastrophe in this city tomorrow, and this place must not be allowed to... eh?"
Before he finished speaking, Hitomi suddenly took the initiative to hold his hand.
But when Bai Zhi looked towards the other party, the girl turned her head and looked elsewhere, but the strength in her hands was clear and increased.
After a moment of daze, Bai Zhi held the other person's hand with his back and smiled on his face.
"Then let's go together."
… … … … … … … …
To be honest, Bai Zhi had long wanted to take Hitomi away from the garbage mountain. Although it was his home, it was really not suitable for living there.
Dirty, messy, and poor environment are secondary. The most important thing is the lingering unpleasant smell.
That's not the smell of a simple cesspool. After all, even a cesspit can eat stinky tofu according to local conditions. In a place like a garbage mountain, the smell of the air is a mixture of more than a dozen weird flavors such as sour, spicy, sweet and sour. body.
—The kind that is so rich that it can irritate your eyes.
Living in that kind of place for a long time will have an indelible impact on the body. Like Bai Zhi, he has discovered that Hitomi's sense of smell and taste have basically failed, and his vision is also greatly weakened.
It's not a good place to live, but it's a good place to hide.
In three days, today is the third day. By tomorrow morning, thick fog will come and wrap around the entire town.
Anyone who comes into contact with the thick fog will be affected. The fusion of the body and other inanimate bodies is secondary. The most important thing is the whispers that linger in the mind and the changes in the body.
-[Garden of Eden].
If you want to avoid this effect, you cannot have any contact with the dense fog, not even breathing, so a fully enclosed protective suit and oxygen tank are necessary.
In the last copy, since Bai Zhi was immune to the whisper, he was not aware of this obvious problem, which caused Hitomi to be affected and the copy failed.
In this dungeon, Bai Zhi will not make the same mistake again.
—The information provided by the school beauties is still very valuable.
Holding Tong's hand, Bai Zhi found the house where he hid in the previous instance. This house was unoccupied and occupied by a few homeless people.
In front of the pistol that Bai Zhi shot, they gave in decisively.
As long as it is ensured that Hitomi's current location is the same as that of the previous instance, then the direction in which Experiment 0 will appear will also be the same as that in the last instance.
[The Beaten Doll] can only hold one chain, and there are tens of thousands of chains in the thick fog, so if you want to get close to the No. 0 Experimental Subject, you can only wait for an opportunity to ambush him on the opponent's path. .
Bai Zhi spent most of the whole day in this house. With Hitomi's help, he dug out a relatively solid underground safe house with shovels.
He did the hard work, and Hitomi was responsible for the delicate work. He also went out during the trip and brought back the full-body protective clothing and oxygen tanks he ordered on the first day.
As for the delicious food she agreed with Hitomi... the other person's sense of taste and smell were basically disabled, and she couldn't eat it at all.
To her, all food tastes the same, as long as it fills her stomach. The only criterion for judging food to her is whether it looks good or not.
For this situation, Bai Zhi had nothing he could do for the time being.
In this way, the day passed quietly, and night fell silently.
But just when Bai Zhi was carrying the shovel and planning to go out of the city to continue digging holes, Hitomi reached out and grabbed his hand.
"A monster will appear tomorrow and it will kill everyone in the city, so I am going to stop it."
Reaching out and touching the other person's head, Bai Zhi squatted down in front of Hitomi, and then patiently explained to the other person.
"You just stay here, lock the door, wait until dawn, put on the protective clothing, and then hide in the underground safe house we built during the day, do you understand?"
"… go together."
After a moment of silence, Zhuo spoke in a low voice.
"No, I have to ensure your safety first."
Bai Zhi shook his head.
"Just stay here and wait for me to come back tomorrow."
"..."
Lowering his head, Hitomi didn't reply, but he still refused to let go.
"Let's put it this way, if I go alone, I still have a chance to come back alive successfully, but if you want to go with me, then neither of us has a chance to survive."
Bai Zhi sighed slightly and started to speak.
"How about I promise you this time? No matter where you are by then, I will take you back."
"... hook."
After a long silence, Hitomi slowly let go of her hand, and then stretched out her little finger.
"you promise."
"Yeah, I promise."
Bai Zhi cautiously stretched out his hand.
"This is an agreement between us."
Volume 1: The gap between virtuality and reality: Chapter 622 Chapter 614 In the thick fog
The last time, Bai Zhi had seen Experiment Zero at close range.
However, it was covered by thick fog at that time, so the scene he saw was just a large blurry black shadow.
Of course, now that black shadow has a new name - Experimental Subject Zero.
With the attack intensity of the thousands of iron chains in the dense fog, it was impossible to approach the opponent head-on, so he could only think of other ways.
Although it is impossible to accurately determine the opponent's position, as long as he can touch the opponent's vicinity, it is a victory, so taking advantage of this night, Bai Zhi dug several holes in the general position outside the city.
Because he was not affected by the whispers in his mind, he did not need those heavy protective suits and oxygen tanks, but in other aspects, Bai Zhi was well prepared.
Gloves, masks, protective helmets... try not to expose your body's skin as much as possible.
As for the mist, just inhale it casually, it’s fine.
Originally, Bai Zhi had planned to get the book, but since he talked with the unknown existence in the underground cell, the book had no meaning.
"...has it started?"
Glancing at the gradually brightening sky, Bai Zhi spat out the bitter root of the grass in his mouth that was used to refresh himself, and hid in the underground cave he had dug.
