Around the Z city base is a large open space that has been cut down. There are long-range lights that sweep the entire city and the outside every few minutes. The plants are gradually denser and denser a hundred meters away. Deep deep mountain jungle.
The trees here are surrounded by dense vegetation, and when you look up, the entire sky is a dense canopy that blocks the sky and the sun, and the moonlight and shadow are almost invisible. Fortunately, the vision of evolutionary people has been greatly improved in the wasteland era, even night vision is not a problem.
Just in this silent night, a huge mutant bird passed through the layers of dense forest and made a "hee hee soso" sound. This voice is particularly clear in the deep and silent night, but fortunately there is no man's land nearby, no matter how loud it is, it will not attract others.
Before Yin Yiliu came back to her senses, the mutant bird under her suddenly landed, and the surroundings were immediately wrapped in thick leaves, which scratched her cheeks and body, causing her to narrow her eyes slightly.
In the next second, a big hand suddenly pulled away the cloak in front of her to protect her whole body, and the surroundings suddenly darkened, not the kind of darkness in the night, but the darkness without light.
But even so, Yin Yiliu was not afraid, because she could feel a faint scent of cedar wrapping herself in it, and at the same time it brought a hint of warmth. The awning was like a small world and wrapped her in it, except for her own heartbeat, all she could hear was the rustling sound of the trees outside.
The giant bird landed very quickly. In just a few breaths, she felt her body slam down, as if she had landed on the ground, and then the bird's back under her buttocks began to stretch her muscles, and a muffled grunt sounded in her throat.
The man behind him pulled away the cloak, Yin Yiliu blinked, and saw the night jungle again.
"Come down." Jin Yang jumped down, then turned his head and extended his palm to Yin Yiliu on the bird's back.
Supporting his palm, Yin Yiliu jumped down from the mutant bird and turned to look at the surrounding environment.
There was no sound in the surroundings, only the cicadas chirping from far and near, which was particularly clear in this night. If the little girl in the peaceful era might be scared by this secluded environment, she would not dare to move forward, for fear of the danger ahead. come up with something.
But Yin Yiliu, who had experienced the strong wind and waves, didn't feel afraid at all, she was just worried, worried that there would be nocturnal mutant beasts in the jungle in the middle of the night.
There was another breeze behind her, which lifted Yin Yiliu's long hair. She turned her head and found that the mutant bird behind her flapped its wings and flew to the dense forest above her head, and soon disappeared.
Jin Yang reassured: "Don't worry, it will come out again when you call it out later."
He naturally hooked the sleeves of the people next to him, and when the sleeves were lowered, they covered their hands, as if they were holding hands again.
Yin Yiliu's eyes widened in disbelief when they came to the entrance of a cave covered by gravel vines. Jin Yang lived here these days
As if to confirm her thoughts, Jin Yang bent down and slowly cleaned up the gravel in front of the cave. The hem of the cloak had been stained with mud. He smiled embarrassedly at Yin Yiliu, and said warmly: "Too I haven't come back for a long time, I almost couldn't find the entrance to the hole, it's a bit messy inside."
He walked in first, followed by Yin Yiliu. After she got into the hole, she realized that it was not as cramped as she thought. After a moment of crowding, she slid into a downward sloping tunnel and slid down uncontrollably, as if she were on a slide. ,
The surface of the burrow has a special layer of material, so it feels smooth to the touch, and it won't smear the soil all over the body.
The underground is dark, and there is almost no light. Even if the evolutionary people have good eyesight, they still can't see the road ahead. The further down the corridor, the steeper it became. Yin Yiliu could feel that his body was being dragged down by gravity, and he couldn't hear anything except the sound of his back rubbing against the ground, and Jin Yang didn't speak.
She couldn't see the way forward, and was a little flustered in the dark corridor. At this moment, a pair of powerful hands suddenly clasped her waist and lifted the whole person up in the air. She shuddered in shock, and then the familiar breath and smell made her feel relieved.
In front of him was a vague outline of a human figure whose face could not be seen clearly. At this time, she was lifted up easily by the arm around her waist, which was a bit ambiguous.
"Is it here?" Yin Yiliu's throat rolled, feeling that in the extreme darkness and cramped environment, the five senses were infinitely magnified, and any disturbance would cause people to be nervous.
Whether it was the sound of breathing so close, or the warm palms on her waist, she was a little at a loss.
Fortunately, as soon as she finished speaking, the palm on her waist gently put her down. She could feel the soft ground under her feet, and she felt much more at ease after stepping on the real thing.
"Wait a minute, I'll look for the light." She could hear Jin Yang's voice very close to her. She seemed to be groping for the direction in the dark, trying to open her eyes to distinguish it, but she could only see one gradually disappearing from her field of vision. contours within the range.
Yin Yiliu stretched out her hand and grabbed it, but it was empty. She was a little empty, and she immediately pulled out two flashlights from the space and turned them away. The powerful white light illuminated the environment in front of her, and she could see clearly not far in front of her. Jin Yang hurriedly stepped forward to follow his back.
I saw Jin Yang turned around and smiled by the light of the flashlight, as if knowing Yin Yiliu's timidity, "Don't panic, I'll turn on the underground 'light'."
He took out a box of matches from the table next to him, took out one, and opened it, and a smoldering spark burst into his fingertips.
He threw the match into a groove in the wall of the underground palace, and suddenly a huge tongue of flame shot out from the hole. As the match was thrown in, the entire wall of the underground palace began to lighten slowly, as if there was something inside the wall. fire.
Yin Yiliu stared blankly at the spread of sparks in front of him, from the wall to the dome, one by one fine ores were embedded in the wall, all of which were ignited by a handful of small sparks.
Immediately, the entire underground palace was lit up, and even the light of the flashlight in her hand seemed insignificant.
"This is?" Where has Yin Yiliu ever seen such a picture, the little red broken stars are connected together, like a galaxy, a beautiful dream. She was at a loss for words, and Jin Yang realized that she had been derailed from the wasteland era for too long, and she didn't know much about many new products.
Jin Yang motioned for her to walk in and take a look, "This is a new type of ore dug in Yucheng before, it's useless and not hard enough, but as long as there is a fire, the whole mining area can be lit up for four to five hours. It lasts for hours and can be recycled. Now all places without water and electricity use this ore to make lamps.”
In addition to this kind of ore, all kinds of strange new species have been gradually discovered, and new types of energy have been developed, all of which only appeared after the end of the world.
It seems that except for humans, the rest of the species have been better continued in this colorful and splendid era.
The scientific research institutes of various large bases have made certain discoveries, and some have ventured deep into various no-man's-land areas in an attempt to find out the truth about Originium.
But to this day, there has been little gain.
Yin Yiliu approached to see, the small ore inlaid in the wall was still flashing, Jin Yang was standing in front of a flickering ore, and the light reflected on his face looked extraordinarily beautiful.
Yin Yi Liu duo glanced at him and then silently looked away, looking at his residence for the past two years in the light.
Just looking around, she frowned slightly, "You live here?"
Even though this ore wall looks so magnificent, in fact the facilities in the entire underground palace are extremely rudimentary.
The underground space is not small, but let alone furniture, there is not even a decent bed. The first thing Yin Yiliu saw was a thick layer of soil piled up by soil, two meters long and wide. Around, she didn't have any doubts at first, and didn't know what it was. She didn't realize that this was Jin Yang's "bed" until she saw a small cloth ball on the corner of the soil layer.
She could have imagined that Jin Yang was alone on the cold soil bed in the underground palace to treat the wound, wiped it in a hurry, and then fell on it.
There was a table by the bed with a water cup and a teapot on it. Yin Yiliu got closer and saw that dust had accumulated inside, and it was obvious that no one had lived here for a while.
In addition, there is no other furniture in the huge underground palace, and the surroundings are empty. If she is allowed to live here alone, she will probably feel cold when she wakes up at night, because it is too empty and quiet, it doesn't look like it where normal people live.
She kept pursing her lips and said nothing, silently turning the underground palace in a circle, and when she came to a separate room, she was stunned for a moment, because Jin Yang suddenly took two steps forward, and it was rare to show a touch of shyness.
"This small room is filled with clutter, or don't look at it."
Yin Yiliu tilted her head, "Why can't you see the sundries, is there any treasure in it?"
Jin Yang coughed and lowered his eyes slightly.
In fact, Yin Yiliu didn't have to know all of Jin Yang's secrets, she was just a little curious, because the golden thighs never had secrets in front of her, and her slightly embarrassed appearance made her feel a little novel.
She was about to leave this separate small cubicle when she saw Jin Yang suddenly let go of her arm in front of her, and she took the initiative to push aside the stone blocking the entrance of the cave, and said warmly, "It's no big deal, and it's not a treasure. "
Yin Yiliu walked into this small cubicle with full of curiosity, and she was stunned.
And Jin Yang's voice came just right at this time.
"Just some... gadgets I make when I'm bored."
She couldn't help turning back to look at Jin Yang's expression, seeing his brows and eyes looking at her gently, she couldn't tell what it was like, it was sour and swollen, except for the surprise, the strange feeling in her heart turned upside down.
This small room is filled with gadgets made of mud. If you look closely, most of them are rabbits.
Although it was pitch-black, he couldn't make out his demeanor, but he could still tell from the contours of different shapes. Some were standing and sitting a little paralyzed, some had their short legs crossed, and some had their ears drawn together.
With just a few outlines, all the various expressions of rabbits exist in this small room. It must be fabricated by a person who is very familiar with this rabbit and has deep feelings for it.
Although this room is not big, there are hundreds of large and small rabbit mud dolls and some mud embryos, which give Yin Yiliu a great impact.
Jin Yang touched the tip of his nose, and then fainted with a thin layer of red, "I will miss you when I have nothing to do, pinching a cute bunny, and the day will pass."
He said it was relaxed and comfortable, but Yin Yiliu knew that in this cold and empty deep underground, there was no one alive except Jin Yang, and there was no entertainment. The only thing that made him feel free and leisure was actually pinching the clay sculptures of these rabbits.
She didn't know how to express her feelings at this time, Jin Yang didn't feel anything, she was about to cry.
Thinking of the suffocating loneliness and silence around her made her feel more and more uncomfortable.
She always felt that she had come here with gritted teeth in the past two years, and often wondered if her golden thighs would be moved when she saw her, but only now did she realize that Jin Yang's life was no better than her own.
Although they are far apart and unconnected, their behavior is too imaginative, and they are using their own methods to punish themselves.
One is hurrying on the road, forcing himself to become a swordsman on his own, while the other is exiled and seems to separate himself from the whole world.
Seeing Yin Yiliu's blushing eyes, Jin Yang, whose original intention was to let Tutu know his heart, suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, he sighed softly, held the nearest mud rabbit in his hand, and walked over to him. Yin Yiliu swayed in front of her eyes, "Is it cute?"
Yin Yiliu let out a choked burp, "Cute, woo."
"Why are you crying cute?"
She held the yawning little guy in her arms, looked at it and couldn't help laughing. Did her mouth really open so big when she yawned? !
Seeing her smile, Jin Yang's eyes became deeper and deeper.
He was actually used to being alone in a quiet and uninhabited underground, because he had lost the person he cherished most.
There is no day or night in the underground days. He can make all the walls bright like stars all night long, and he will also fall into endless darkness for several days, quietly waiting for the passage of time.
At times like this, he would always think of Yin Yiliu's face in the dark, and the time they had walked together, but the memory was not long enough. After recalling it again, his heart was even more empty, as if a big hole had been broken. What made him more unbearable than being in a daze was that the picture was too short.
Jin Yang had no choice but to count the days by pinching the rabbit.
In his mind, there are all kinds of cute, coquettish and pompous rabbits in his mind. Those shapes are deeply engraved in his mind. Only when he is pinching the mud rabbit is when he is the most peaceful, as if Yin Yiliu is still there. In the palm of your hand, by your side.
Fortunately, his bunny didn't make him wait too long.
If it was the previous Jin Yang, he would keep everything silently in his heart, he didn't dare to let himself think about it, and he didn't bother to ask for credit.
But now it is different. He is like a person who is too short of water in the desert, craving for the spring. The more the better, whenever Yin Yiliu's eyes fall on him, it will raise a secret strangeness in his heart.
So Jin Yang wanted her to see these mud rabbits and Yin Yiliu to face her heart.
Seeing the red-nosed woman playing with the soil in her hands, Jin Yang concealed the hotness in his eyes. He rolled his back unconsciously with the tip of his tongue against his back teeth. A class of people.
Except for this room, which was kept the cleanest, the other rooms that were opened were almost empty and empty, and there was not even a stove that could fire. Yin Yiliu couldn't imagine what kind of life Jin Yang lived here.
She put all the mud rabbits in that room into her own space, then looked at Jin Yang beside her, and whispered, "Then let's go?"
"Yeah." Jin Yang responded, watching the dim light in the underground palace. After tonight, the stars here will never be bright again.
He has no nostalgia for this place.
Except for the mud rabbit in that room, there is no other luggage in the entire underground palace, let alone any valuables, Jin Yang joked with a smile; "My most valuable possession is myself, and I will rely on Tutu in the future. Take care."
Hearing this, Yin Yiliu always felt something else, she coughed lightly, and glanced at Jin Yang's place at last.
There is no decent furniture here, and there is no smell of fireworks. There is a smell of earth drilling up from the ground. Even if the sky is bright like a star, it can't hide the loneliness and cold that go deep into the spine.
She clenched her fist secretly, she would never let Golden Thigh live in such a place again.
The corridor is not narrow but it is a bit sloping, Yin Yiliu is not easy to climb up, Jin Yang thought about it and simply used his evolutionary ability directly, smashing the corridor below him hard. He controlled his strength well, but Yin Yiliu could only feel that the soil layer under her body was sinking in slightly, forming layers of stepped footsteps under her feet.
She followed Jin Yang to the land like this, turned around and looked again, the hole under her body had collapsed.
After more than ten days, the people at the nearby base suddenly heard a muffled sound in the distance, as if something had collapsed under their feet.
The person who came back replied that there was a ground in the forest that had collapsed, and it looked like it was man-made, which immediately aroused all kinds of speculation and discussion.
At this time, Yin Yiliu and his party were preparing to enter the city outside the gate of Z City. Looking at the town that was still majestic but obviously changed a lot, Yin Yiliu felt a little emotional for a while.
After returning to this place after such a long time, I don't know how many people are familiar.
After returning to the hotel that night, the next day Xiaoxiao and others found that the person who sneaked out in the middle of the night seemed to have pulled in some more after returning, which made Xiaoxiao feel unbearable, and had been pestering Yin Yiliu for several days. Trying to ask what happened that night.
Yin Yiliu said that nothing happened, she still didn't believe it.
That is, after going back, Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang carefully discussed their future destination. They did not intend to continue to be used by the regular military, because they were restricted, and another reason was that someone was eyeing Jin Yang.
Not everything will be hidden, as the saying goes, as long as the things that have been done will always leave traces.
After Jin Yang started chasing and killing the Association of the Fallen, Wu Weirong announced the incident of destroying the scientific research institute and fleeing with the experimental body, and also exposed Jin Rumeng's ability.
For a time, people's hearts were surging, and a group of evolutionary people with evil intentions came up with Jin Rumeng's idea.
Jin Yang visited Li Zhenjiang at the base in Z City overnight, and the two reached some agreements after a long talk all night. Li Zhenjiang promised that as long as Jin Rumeng stayed within the boundaries of Z City, she would be safe from accidents in Z City.
After a lapse of more than a year, Jin Yang found that he seemed to be being targeted by unknown people. No matter how he strangled the fallen, the upper military and government would not care.
Because in the end, the fallen are the opposite of human beings.
But after a certain extermination, he was alert to find that someone was following him. After throwing it away, Jin Yang found that these people were very well equipped with weapons and equipment. They were not ordinary evolutionary people without organization and discipline at all, but regular army.
He suspected that his powers might have been leaked, or that the upper levels were playing some tricks.
That alone makes it impossible for them to go to those militarized bases and towns.
The reason why he went to Z city was because Yin Yiliu wanted to see Jin Rumeng and settle down with Xiaoxiao and others, and then they would leave Z city, just the two of them.
Now Jin Yang's strength is already very strong, at least Yin Yiliu can feel that he doesn't need two hands to deal with himself, one is enough.
The apocalypse is constantly changing, and creatures are constantly evolving. She wants to find a small base where no one knows them, and then go out to hunt every day to get condensed stones, so as to improve her evolutionary ability as soon as possible, to be on par with Jin Yang, and to be comfortable at night. Take a good night's sleep, don't worry about any intrigue, and don't need to think about the thoughts of those military and political figures.
Such a day is what Yin Yiliu has always longed for.
Z City has changed a lot in the past two years. I vaguely remember that when they came together last time, it was still a base where militarization and idle gangs coexisted. Now Li Zhenjiang has completely established himself as the lord of the base and is no longer under the command of the upper management. The atmosphere of z city has also become open.
Li Zhenjiang can finalize major events in one word, but there are also many emerging evolutionary groups entrenched in Z City, forming large and small power gangs.
Yin Yiliu gave Jin Yang her mask to avoid any unnecessary trouble. The gates of the city no longer had the previous layers of barriers, and it was very easy to get in and out.
But nonetheless, their group still caught some people's attention.
As soon as they entered the door, two male evolutionary men walked towards Yin Yiliu and his party with malicious intent, looked them up and down, and at first glance in their direction, Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang noticed their inquiring sight.
"Don't panic, let's see what they are doing."
The two men walked up to their group, looked Xiaoxiao up and down, looked at her long silver hair and the huge wings behind her, and said in a bad tone, "Are you an evolved person or a fallen one!"
Since the appearance of the Fallen, people have known the unique characteristic of these humanoids, that is, there will be parts of the body that show an inhuman side.
Among them, symbiotics and mutants are the most acceptable, after all, they also have human consciousness in their bodies; while the fallen are generally considered to be another type, which is opposite to humans; as for the darkened ones, all creatures must And punished.
Because of this, in order to avoid suspicion, many xenogeneic evolved people only show their abilities in battle, and usually walk in person, for fear of running into trouble.
Some evolutionary people are extreme and regard all degenerate people as cancers, and Yin Yiliu and his party happened to encounter this kind of existence.
Seeing Xiaoxiao Zhangyang walking in the base with a pair of huge wings, the two evolutionary people suddenly stepped forward and blocked in front of everyone.
"The fallen do not deserve to appear in the human city!"
In fact, Xiaoxiao is an ordinary xenogeneic evolved person, but her situation is rather special. The xenogeneic creatures are not known species on earth. When Yin Yiliu saw her for the first time, she thought she was a fallen person.
Xiaoxiao made a face at the two of them, "It's really wide."
