The dawn dispelled the darkness, and the light of the eternal sun fell on the grassland. The green grassland stretched forward like a carpet, with the same end. Please search ()! The fastest updated novel
A group of white wildebeests appeared in Xia Lei's sight. They were tall, strong, and white, like unicorns in Western mythology, representing nobility and the Spring Festival, but without wings.
The appearance of Rihua alarmed the herd of wildebeests. They ran away elsewhere, their hooves rumbling like cavalry charging on an ancient battlefield.
Rihua slowed down her pace and walked forward facing the sunshine of the Eternal Sun. There were three people sitting on its back, Xia Lei at the front, the little girl in the middle, and Han Yifei at the back.
"It's safe, we are free from the pursuers." Han Yifei breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed. His body even suddenly lost the strength to support him, and he suddenly slipped off Rihua's back. Fell down on the grass.
Xia Lei fell speechlessly to Han Yifei on the grass, and then patted Rihua on the neck, "Rihua, you have been running for most of the night, please take a rest."
"Well." A voice came out of Rihua's mouth, and then she lay down on the grass.
Xia Lei jumped off his back and hugged the little girl. He smiled and said, "The little guy is quite heavy. How old is he this year?"
The little girl said crisply: "Uncle, I am eight years old this year, and my name is Gu Kexin."
"Gu Kexin?" Xia Lei was stunned for a moment.
There was only one word difference between her and the name of the woman he was familiar with, and her name suddenly brought back his memories of that woman. But he knew very well that the little girl in front of him was definitely not that woman. She was only eight years old, and that woman had already died on the earth.
"My name is Gu Kexin." Gu Kexin said cautiously: "Uncle, what is your name?"
Only then did Xia Lei come back to his senses. He smiled and said, "My name is Xia Lei. You can call me Uncle Xia."
"Uncle Xia, Uncle Xia!" Gu Kexin's little mouth was very sweet and she shouted immediately.
Xia Lei reached out and patted Gu Kexin's little head, "Tell Uncle Xia, where is your home? Where are your parents?"
Gu Kexin's little mouth suddenly curled up, and she was about to cry again, "My father and mother... were all eaten by the Blue Moon people. My grandfather took me to escape from the village, but was killed by the black-bearded man again." Caught. They asked me to go to the refinery too, and my grandfather died of exhaustion in the refinery."
Xia Lei felt sour in his heart and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
Han Yifei said: "Mr. Xia, do you have any plans?"
"Go to Border City and hand you over to the rebels, and then I'll go to the Dark Forest." Xia Lei said.
"What about me?" Gu Kexin said anxiously: "Uncle Xia, take me with you. I can do everything. I can wash clothes and cook. You can also teach me how to use a gun. I can work with you. Fight and kill the bad guys.”
Xia Lei squatted in front of Gu Kexin, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I will entrust you to the rebels, and they will take good care of you. It's not that Uncle Xia doesn't want to take you, but Xia Lei Uncle, you can only walk alone."
"Uncle Xia..." Gu Kexin's tears flowed out again.
Xia Lei understood her feelings very well. She was lonely and helpless in this world. She finally met someone who could protect her, but he had to leave her again. How could she not feel sad in her heart
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Xia Lei held Gu Kexin in his arms and comforted her. But he himself didn't know when this promise would be fulfilled. Perhaps, there will never be a time to fulfill it.
"Roar!" Rihua growled at Xia Lei.
"We should go." Xia Lei picked up Gu Kexin, "Come on, Uncle Xia will carry you up."
Han Yifei also climbed up from the grass, and walked to Xia Lei's side, "Don't worry, I will help you take care of her, as a way of repaying your life-saving grace."
Xia Lei smiled at Han Yifei.
Between men, sometimes, there are some things that don’t need to be said at all.
Rihua set off again, running towards the east. It left deep footprints where it ran, and within a few days, green weeds would grow out of the soil.
Life is reincarnated every moment.
Half a month later.
The vast grassland was left behind, and a city appeared at the end of the field of vision. At that moment, Xia Lei was still shocked.
Huge tall buildings stood under the sky, some were blown off, and some were covered with trees and vines. These buildings can be seen to the left and right in the field of vision. This city is so big that even New York and London on Earth are incomparable.
However, it was already dead, without any life left in it.
When this city was still alive, there were at least tens of millions of people living in this city, but how many people are still living here now? Putting aside the killing of the Blue Moon people, just food, water, and medical treatment can stifle the reproduction of the population. Therefore, even if there are people living in this city, not many will survive.
"This is Bianhuang City. It was built in the Holy Thunder Era a thousand years ago. It is the city in the east of human territory." Han Yifei also looked at the dead deserted city in the distance. "At its peak, it had a population of more than 67 million. It also played a very important role in Holy Thunder's Millennium Plan. In that plan, it would become a bridgehead city for mankind to expand into the dark forest. Later, when the Blue Moon people invaded, it was almost the last city due to its special geographical location. A ruined city."
Xia Lei said: "How many people are still living here now?"
Han Yifei shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I guess it won't exceed 100,000."
Xia Lei said: "One hundred thousand, which is really not much in such a big city, but from the perspective of food and water, it is a big number. The people here will definitely face the arrests of the Blue Moon people. How do they persist? Came down?"
Han Yifei smiled and said, "Have you never been to a big city?"
"No." Xia Lei said, this was his first time in a big city.
Han Yifei said: "It's not surprising. People in the city have long moved underground. The Blue Moon people usually fly out to hunt in aircraft and rarely go deep underground. The population of the Blue Moon people is actually very small. They We will not rashly go deep underground to take action, otherwise their advanced weapons will be greatly reduced and it will also cause them casualties, which they absolutely cannot accept."
Xia Lei suddenly remembered a conversation with Cassia Ruiz. In that conversation, Cassia Ruiz said that the number of Isitab's kind was too small to withstand a war with heavy casualties, so Isitab took action first to turn the earth into a safe hunting ground. Now Han Yifei also has such a statement, which is the same as Cassia Ruiz's point of view, which shows that the number of Blue Moon people is really very small.
This made Xia Lei secretly relieved. If the number of Blue Moon people living on Blue Moon reached billions or more like humans, then humans would really have no hope. And this situation gave him a glimmer of hope, which was important to him.
"Let's go into the city." Han Yifei said.
Xia Lei patted Rihua's neck, "Rihua, let's go."
Rihua didn't move, it looked up and looked further away.
Although there was something in that direction, Xia Lei knew that it was looking at its hometown, Resting Forest.
Rihua lay down. This action was to get down the three people sitting on its back.
Xia Lei understood Rihua's body language. He jumped off Rihua's back and said at the same time: "You guys should come down too, Rihua is leaving."
Han Yifei also jumped off Rihua's back, then caught Gu Kexin and helped her return to the ground. Gu Kexin reluctantly touched the scales on Rihua's belly and asked, "Uncle Xia, where is it going?"
Xia Lei said: "It's going home."
"Then will it come back?" Gu Kexin asked.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "I don't know about this. You and Uncle Han will leave first, and Rihua Dao and I will go separately."
"Uncle Xia..." Gu Kexin wanted to say something else.
"Kexin, let Uncle Xia and Rihua say goodbye. Let's go first." Han Yifei took Gu Kexin's little hand and walked towards Bianhuang City.
Xia Lei came to Rihua and said, "Give me a few days and I will come to you after I finish handling the matter. Just wait for me in the Resting Forest. I will not break the promise."
A string of sounds came out of Rihua's mouth, but she didn't know if she understood Xia Lei's words.
Xia Lei patiently drew a few pictures on the ground, and then repeated what he just said.
"Hooo." Rihua nodded this time. This action seemed to tell Xia Lei that she understood.
"Wait for me." Xia Lei patted Rihua's neck, then turned and left.
Rihua watched Xia Lei go away, and then ran towards Bianhuang City. It has an instinctive rejection of human cities. It would rather spend more time to go around it than go through the city.
Xia Lei caught up with Han Yifei and Gu Kexin, and the three of them entered Bianhuang City.
The streets of the city were deserted, and the wreckage of vehicles, chariots, and even huge spaceships could be seen everywhere on the streets. Some were discarded by people, while others were relics of war. The traces of explosions and war debris seemed to silently tell the story of blood and fire back then, as well as the countless people who died because of the war. Their remaining souls seemed to be in this city, in that endless place. In some dark corner of the building where people live, they don’t want to rest.
A gust of wind blew by, picking up the garbage on the ground. Some flew close to the ground, and some were swept up into the air. Xia Lei's melancholy seemed to be swept away, and this desolate city aroused his homesickness.
Are all the women at home okay
Are the kids okay
Will women and children miss him in their absence
There are so many conjectures, each with a sad flavor.
The desire to go home is still so strong, but when can I go back? Can you still go back
He has no idea.
