Standing in front of Hao Ren and the others was a young-looking couple. The woman was wearing a dark blue long dress with no discernible texture, her long hair was pulled up high, and her eyebrows were quite similar to Nangong Wuyue's. The man is wearing a long black windbreaker. Under the open windbreaker, you can see the witcher's signature wide belt. There is a small silver dagger hanging on the belt, but other than that, you can't see the crossbow. His appearance is about five or six points similar to Nangong Sanba—due to the unique "selective genetic" blood of the sea monster, the Nangong brothers and sisters just inherited the appearance of their parents.
Because they are heterogeneous, the couple didn't look old because of a mere hundred years. They still look young, but they are much more mature than their children. They looked at the large group of people who appeared in front of them in shock, and were even a little bit at a loss, but after hearing May's low cry, the two of them froze at the same time.
"Dad, Mom, it's us!" Wu Yue dragged her brother forward quickly, "I'm Wu Yue, and my brother and I are here to find you!"
"May? March 8?" The male demon hunter looked at the two young men in disbelief, his footsteps were slightly wobbly. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to see other people here, let alone dare Thinking that my pair of sons and daughters will appear in front of my eyes, "You...how did you get here?"
"We caught that Nuling back then, and then the landlord found this place from Nuling's memory," Sanba tried to calm down, and hurriedly explained, "These people are friends—they helped us get here place. Parents, you have been living here for a hundred years?"
The scene of the family reunion was touching, but Hao Ren felt that it was somewhat awkward for him to stand here as an outsider. Seeing the excited and incoherent expressions of the four people in front of him, he coughed lightly: "Well, let's catch up on the past first, let's go to another place. Let's take a look at the place... We will gather at the entrance of the mall later."
Nangong Sanba nodded gratefully, opened his mouth but didn't say anything, Hao Ren smiled and waved to him, grabbed Lily's arm and dragged the girl away.
"The whole family is finally reunited, it's not in vain for us to come here," walking in the empty shopping mall. Vivian stretched her neck vigorously and looked into the distance, "They probably still have to talk for a long time. This time our main goal has been achieved."
Yizaks, a rough guy, rarely showed a moved expression at this time, he thought of his own affairs. A smile appeared on his face: "I can understand... I also experienced a similar thing not long ago."
Hao Ren scratched his hair embarrassingly: "Why am I suddenly a little embarrassed..."
Lily bared her teeth: "I haven't started to praise you yet, and you are too shy too early!"
Before they knew it, they had reached the second floor of the shopping mall. The place was still empty, but there were still plenty of goods in the neatly arranged bunks. The counters and shelves are also spotless. Lily casually grabbed a package from the shelf next to it, researched it and confirmed that it was a snack, then tore open the package and stuffed it into her mouth, Vivian saw this and quickly reminded: "Hey, be careful! Picking up things to eat outside! I don’t know where…”
Lili tried her best to swallow a mouthful of snacks, and rolled her eyes at Vivian: "You are stupid, Nangong's father and mother have lived here for a hundred years-of course this food is edible." After she finished speaking, she grabbed it out of the plastic bag. He stuffed a handful of something like shrimp crackers into Hao Ren's mouth: "Landlord, you should try it too. It tastes a bit like burnt rings!"
While being fed by the dog, Hao Ren murmured in his heart: Why does Lily always burst out with wisdom in inexplicable places...
"I don't know the date this place is now... but I'm guessing these things were made recently." Y'zaks' focus was elsewhere. He reached for Lily's snack bag to check, but as soon as he lifted his hand, the latter immediately bared his teeth and let out a threatening whine, and Lily stared at Y'zaks' big hand, his fangs bared . Seeing this situation, the big devil could only twitch the corners of his mouth: "This is really a clear attitude... well, I'll find a bag myself."
Vivian looked at Lily and then at Hao Ren with a strange expression: "You really trained her out."
At this time, a slight beeping sound came from not far away, and a hidden door suddenly opened on a nearby wall, and an automatic small truck ran out of the hidden door, and the truck was loaded with various commodities. The small car ignored Hao Ren and the others who were looking curious at the door of the store, and ran straight to the front of the shelf. A frisbee-like mechanical device rose from the car and began to replenish the shelves: the two packs of snacks that Lily and Y'zaks had just taken.
Seeing this, Vivienne took another bag of things from the shelf next to it, the truck immediately made a gurgling sound, and the little Frisbee hurriedly started replenishing the goods again.
"The machine maintains everything," Vivienne looked down at the things in her hand, "but do people really come here to 'buy' things?"
Y'zaks smiled: "There are at least two people."
Ten minutes later, a group of people reunited at the entrance of the shopping mall. The Nangong family of four seemed to have calmed down from the extreme excitement of the reunion at the beginning—of course, the excitement might not fade away in a few days. Nangong Wuyue introduced these new friends of her own to her parents, but before she introduced a few words, Lily hurriedly helped to finish the introduction. This girl is as familiar as ever.
"We've already heard about how you came here." Elsa, Nangong Wuyue's mother, smiled and bowed deeply to Hao Ren, "I can't repay you for your kindness, although I don't know what our husband and wife can do to help. I'm busy, but if there's anything we can do, please feel free to tell me."
Elsa's husband nodded: "I heard that you are investigating this place. We have lived here for a hundred years, so we should be able to help."
Yitzhax suddenly cheered up: "That's really just right. His father, isn't he? We..."
The big devil always came at will when he called others. Nangong Sanba's father smiled and waved his hands: "This is like a tongue twister... I, Nangong Wudi, thank you for your attention."
Immediately, the scene became quiet, and Hao Ren's expression was as paralyzed as before, but he didn't realize it for a long time: Uncle's name is quite domineering!
Then he patted Nangong Sanba on the shoulder and lowered his voice: "Is this your father's stage name?"
Nangong Sanba sullenly said, "The real name."
"The naming style of your family has been passed down from generation to generation and passed down from male to female, right?"
Nangong Sanba squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
Nangong Wudi himself doesn't think there is anything wrong with this name. This old demon hunter with a very domineering name but is actually a half-baked one like Nangong Sanba smiled and waved to others: "This is not a place to talk. I lead Let's go to the place where our husband and wife live temporarily."
Lily looked surprised: "Do you still have a house here?"
Elsa smiled gently, and pointed to the empty city: "There are houses everywhere."
Immediately everyone knew what was going on.
The place where Nangong and his wife currently live is some distance away from this shopping mall, and they need to pass several blocks. They took the crowd with ease and stopped a suspended bus on the side of the road. This bus is the same as all the facilities in the city: no one operates it.
The bus drove briskly under the control of the automatic program, and took off smoothly on a ramp marked with an upward arrow, drifting towards a distant residential area. A glowing indicator light band appeared in the air before and after the flight path of the hover vehicle, which seemed to prevent collisions with other air vehicles. Hao Ren sat on the front seat, and looked up at the driver's seat of the car: there were a lot of flashing instruments and operating levers that were turning automatically, but there was a seat prepared for people in front of the console. —It seems that the original design of this vehicle has a driver, and automatic driving is just another way of controlling it.
Boring advertisements were playing on the screens on both sides of the carriage. A large group of children were bouncing around a pile of grotesque rides. The subtitles below showed that this was an advertisement for a newly opened amusement park.
The world on the screen is bustling, but the world outside the screen is silent and deserted.
The upbeat music and children's laughter in the advertisement filled the car, but all this only made people feel creepier. (to be continued~^~)
