In the human city of the underground world.
Li Wenxi and Xu Ying were standing in the square below the statue, looking up at the statue that was so close.
“… I got closer and saw that the statue was really tall…”
The statue is surrounded by guardrails about 50 meters away, and outside the guardrails stand some fully armed security personnel holding weapons, prohibiting anyone from approaching the statue.
"Yes, this is my first time coming near this statue too." Xu Ying looked around.
There are a lot of people in the square around the statue, and it seems that most of them are tourists who come here to see the statue.
Today, there are over 100 million people in the underground world, and the area where humans live is naturally very vast. The area of human activities can even be compared to a large country on the earth in the past.
Of course, on a planet whose surface area has expanded a hundred times today, this area is indeed insignificant, but for humans, it is already a distance that cannot be crossed under normal circumstances.
Not to mention that this is underground, the overall top height of the underground world is only one or two thousand meters, and even the highest point is only a little over three thousand meters.
Coupled with the technological gap, under such circumstances, even after thousands of years of development, there has never been a public air transportation facility that ordinary people can afford.
Therefore, for most ordinary people from other places, it is not easy to come to the core area of the city to see these two statues, and this place has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the underground human activity area.
In the square, you can see people of all skin colors, wearing various styles of clothing.
The atmosphere here is like that of an international metropolis.
"You haven't been here before either?" Li Wenxi looked at Xu Ying in surprise, "Isn't this image..."
“Hey, hey!” Xu Ying immediately raised her hand to cover Li Wenxi’s masked mouth and whispered, “There are so many people here, what are you talking about!”
Li Wenxi's words did not attract the attention of the people around him, but Xu Ying's movements were a bit big, causing the tourists who were gathered around the statue to look over curiously.
Even the security guards standing by the guardrail with guns in their hands looked over.
"Ahaha." Xu Ying withdrew her hand and looked up at the statue.
"… Have you really never been here?" Li Wenxi asked curiously.
"No." Xu Ying shook her head. "If I hadn't brought you here, I wouldn't have come here. My face..."
"Ah... That's right!" Li Wenxi suddenly realized, "It will indeed be a bit troublesome."
"Right? Um..." Xu Ying looked around, then glanced at the security personnel not far away who were looking at them, feeling a little guilty, "Have you seen enough, sister-in-law? If there is nothing else, let's move a little further away. There are so many people here."
"Hey? Didn't we just get here?" Li Wenxi still looked up at the statue, feeling very curious, and exclaimed in a low voice, "It really looks like it... But this statue is much more mature in carving."
"Haha, as for statues, they naturally have to be carved to be more mature so that they can be more admired by others." Xu Ying said with a wry smile.
She hasn't told Li Wenxi the whole truth yet.
Li Wenxi knew that the earth was invaded by alien invaders, and that he and other survivors were sent here thousands of years ago. This city was developed by the humans who were sent underground that year.
As for Xu Ying's identity, she naturally used the convenient identity of "the first batch of survivors".
As for who the group of people were who sent them a thousand years later, Li Wenxi still didn't know.
Naturally, I don’t know what these two statues are about.
However, this was not something Xu Ying deliberately concealed. She simply felt that if she told Li Wenxi everything directly, she might not believe it. It would be better to let her see the truth before explaining it.
For example, now.
"Well, so..." Li Wenxi turned to look at Xu Ying, "Can you tell me what this statue is about?"
"About this, let's stay a little further away, it's too..."
"Two girls over there!"
At this time, the fully armed security personnel suddenly walked towards where Li Wenxi and Xu Ying were, "You two wait a moment."
"Hey..." Li Wenxi looked around. The two girls around should be the only two of them. "Are you calling us?"
"It's broken..." Xu Ying rubbed her head and whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't talk later."
"Oh, okay." Li Wenxi didn't know what was going on, but when she saw people wearing special forces-like clothes and holding guns walking towards her, she felt a little uneasy.
What's going on? With so many people around, why are they targeting these two
The security guard was very strong, nearly two meters tall. Even Li Wenxi, who was over 1.7 meters tall, looked very petite in front of him.
"Why are you two wearing masks and sunglasses? Please take off any decorations that cover your face." The security guard's voice was serious, but his words were not convincing even though he was wearing a helmet so that his eyes could not be seen.
"...Ah?" Li Wenxi was a little confused.
Is it because they look like suspicious people
But Yingying’s face...
"Um, security uncle!" Xu Ying spoke at this time. She did not take off her mask and sunglasses, but put her hands together and smiled, "It is the flowering season recently. We both have pollen allergies. It is very uncomfortable to inhale pollen or get pollen in our eyes."
There is such a reason!
But opposite...
At this moment, several rays of light flashed on the eye mask of the security personnel's helmet, as if he was communicating through the helmet.
"The voice is confirmed, it is most likely him, capture him immediately!"
He suddenly reached out and firmly grasped Xu Ying's wrist, and said in a deep voice: "There are criminal records for both of you in the system. Please come with me."
Not only him, but also other security personnel nearby stopped guarding the fence and walked towards Xu Ying.
The tourists around noticed something was wrong. Those who were close by immediately moved away, while those who were far away came closer and watched.
"Criminal?"
"How dare a criminal come here? Are they really going to die?"
"Haha, you got caught now, you deserve it, you dared to run in front of the statue of our savior!"
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
"I just heard what the guard said. They both have criminal records and should be wanted criminals!"
"Ha, no wonder he had to cover his face and wear sunglasses. Criminals these days are really stupid. Doesn't this make people more suspicious?"
People around immediately started discussing it.
They were not frightened by this scene at all, as if they were used to it, and they seemed to have great confidence in the security personnel.
"This..." Li Wenxi was a little flustered.
What is going on
How come they suddenly have criminal records and are about to be arrested
This must be fake!
Regardless of whether Xu Ying has a criminal record or not, she has just come into this world, so where does she get a criminal record from
I'm afraid there is no such person as her in the records of this world, let alone any criminal record!
This is obviously an excuse to arrest them!
Why
…Did they find out that Yingying was the person in the statue
"... We have a chance of committing a crime, uncle, you didn't check it wrong, did you?" Xu Ying smiled reluctantly, "If we have a chance of committing a crime, how dare we come here?"
As she spoke, she observed the situation around her.
In his heart, he secretly blamed himself: "I shouldn't have come here! I was too excited to see my sister-in-law... Sure enough, my suspicion was right!"
"The system won't make mistakes. Please come with us," the security officer said solemnly. "If we recognize the wrong person, we will release you and give you corresponding compensation. Don't try to resist arrest."
"That..." Li Wenxi frowned.
Although she had experienced life and death several times on the ground, she did not have any strong physical abilities. At most, she was much stronger than ordinary people, but when facing guns...
There is no way to fight back at all!
The guards around had already gathered around, and they even held guns in their hands, while dispersing the crowd around them: "Make way, don't gather around."
Their actions also caused the crowd around them to disperse and be extremely surprised.
"Move...move your guns!"
"Firing a gun here? Is this true?"
"How vicious are these two girls to actually let the guards use guns here!"
"Let's stay away from it!"
“I really want to know what they look like!”
Even though the guards had their guns drawn, the number of people around them increased instead of decreasing. More and more people gathered, all coming to watch the fun.
"Sister-in-law, wait for my move, and then run with me." Xu Ying looked around with a serious expression, then turned to Li Wenxi and whispered.
"You..." The guard who grabbed Xu Ying's wrist's expression changed when he heard this. Just as he was about to do something, his body suddenly froze.
Then, Xu Ying easily pulled her hand out from his wrist.
"Don't move!"
At this time, the other guards who had gathered around had also noticed something unusual, and immediately raised their guns and pointed them at the position where Xu Ying and Li Wenxi were.
"… You said I was a wanted criminal?" Xu Ying turned around and faced the guards who surrounded her. "Are you sure? If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"
Her voice was calm, and the calmness of her voice reduced the whispering of people around them.
Behind her, the guard who had just grabbed her wrist slowly fell backwards.
Then with a bang, he fell to the ground.
His body was stiff, and even when he fell to the ground, the hand that was holding Xu Ying was still raised.
"you!"
"Don't move, put your hands up!"
The guards' guns had already been pointed at Xu Ying, but despite this situation, they still did not shoot.
Perhaps he had received instructions not to shoot, or perhaps he was hesitating whether or not to shoot under the statue.
But this situation caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd. Some people turned around and ran away, while the brave ones took a few steps back and still stood around looking at this side.
"What are you afraid of? The guards have guns. She can't do anything."
"Oh my god, they are so vicious that they dared to attack the guards. It's a pity for the two girls."
"What two girls? They are two criminals!"
"What's going on now..." Li Wenxi came over and asked in a low voice.
She wasn't that scared. Having experienced so many life and death situations, this scene couldn't scare her.
"Just follow me later."
As Xu Ying spoke, she raised her hand.
"Don't move!"
"what you up to!"
The guards immediately became nervous.
"Don't you want to see my face? Then I'll show it to you."
As he spoke, Xu Ying took off his sunglasses.
Revealing her lively eyes.
The crowd around was watching.
“What beautiful eyes!”
"Just by looking at her eyes, you can tell she's a beauty!"
"Did the guard make a mistake? How could such a beautiful girl be a criminal?"
"Oh, your worldview follows your five senses, right?"
"... Don't you think these eyes... look familiar?"
Some people have already noticed the abnormality, and many people have looked up at the statue.
At this time, Xu Ying took off the mask she was wearing, exposing her face completely.
Exposed in front of everyone.
"Um?"
"… well?"
The surroundings suddenly became silent.
For those living in the underworld, this face...
It’s so familiar!
The crowd was silent for two seconds, and then screams and shouts broke out.
"ah!"
“Mom, I saw God!”
"Oh my God, oh my God!"
“Fake… fake!”
Even the guards who had their guns pointed at them were startled and dropped half of their guns.
They were just following orders, but this face...
The thought that he might be pointing a gun at a god made him suddenly stunned.
And the people who had originally moved away for a distance rushed up again!
"run!"
Xu Ying immediately grabbed Li Wenxi's wrist and rushed towards the statue.
She was very fast, extremely fast. Although Li Wenxi was much faster than an average person, she could not keep up with Xu Ying's speed at all. She was basically being dragged along.
"Hey... Hey?!" Li Wenxi was pulled directly and ran to the feet of the statue within a few seconds.
There is nothing underneath the statues. Both statues stand on a stone platform three or four meters high.
Xu Ying reached out and touched the side of the stone platform, and suddenly a door suddenly opened!
"Bang!"
At this moment, gunshots suddenly came from behind!
Shooting!
Before Li Wenxi could scream, Xu Ying waved her hand behind her, then pulled Li Wenxi into the door, and then the door slammed shut.
The surroundings immediately fell into darkness and silence.
Li Wenxi could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat.
"Sister-in-law, you are not hurt!"
Before Li Wenxi could say anything, a bright white light suddenly appeared beside her.
The light came from the small gem in Xu Ying's hand. It was not very bright, and only illuminated an area of several meters around the two of them.
This is just a very simple space with nothing around.
"I'm fine. How about you? The gunshot just now..." Li Wenxi reacted immediately and asked anxiously, "You... Were you shot?"
"Don't worry, that kind of low-level weapon can't hurt me." As she said that, Xu Ying loosened her other hand that she had been holding.
A bullet appeared in her palm. As her hand tilted, the bullet slid from her palm to the ground with a crisp sound.
Li Wenxi stared at the bullet on the ground with wide eyes, then looked up at Xu Ying and said incredulously: "Catch the bullet with your hands! Yingying, you... are so strong!"
"Hehe, right? I'm a survivor from the previous session, of course I'm strong!" Xu Ying said with a proud smile.
As the last person left in the false future, she has the ability to influence time and space, so it is too easy for her to catch a bullet.
"So where are we now..." Li Wenxi looked back at the place where they came in. There was now a stone wall there and the entrance could no longer be seen.
After all, the entire statue is made of stone.
"Don't worry. Although this thing is not very strong, they dare not destroy it." Xu Ying said confidently.
“…Didn’t they just shoot in this direction?” Li Wenxi pointed at the bullets on the ground.
"This..." Xu Ying also showed a depressed expression, and said to herself, "I don't know how the person who fired the gun dared to..."
Fortunately, there was no movement outside.
Maybe the soundproofing is too good, I can't hear any sound.
"… Yingying!" Li Wenxi suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Ying's face, pulling it hard twice. "Can you tell me what's going on? You ran all the way for no apparent reason. Tell me what's going on!"
As she spoke, she pinched Xu Ying's face.
"Well... that... I'll explain it right now, don't pinch my face!"
Xu Ying grabbed Li Wenxi's hand and begged for mercy.
Then she turned her head and looked at the place where they came in, her eyes sank slightly.
Her previous guess... actually came true.
Those people actually wanted to control her.
The human rulers of this underground world, I'm afraid...
Something went wrong.
