Therefore, Cronie immediately left his studio and rushed over.
After arriving at the square, he saw his returning brother and breathed a sigh of relief.
No, wait!
There was one less person in the trio, and from the reactions of Rick and Ya Lei, Cronie couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
At the same time, a little girl about six or seven years old also rushed over, looking forward to asking Rick and the two about her father.
Such expectant voices were met with silence not only from Rick and Alei, but also from everyone.
Under the oppressive silence, when Alei was about to speak, Rick stopped him.
"I'm sorry, Ewan he——that is, your father can't come back."
He answered very calmly.
"Ah? Why?"
The young girl didn't quite understand the specific meaning.
So——
"Your father is dead!"
Rick said such cruel words so simply and neatly, which made the young girl stunned.
"Ewan——dead, dead?"
A hoarse voice came from the side of Cronie. Looking over, Maruta's trembling body came into her eyes.
Ewan is the husband of Maruta.
Immediately, the young girl screamed, started scolding Rick, and was about to say particularly unpleasant words.
At this moment, Maruta immediately stepped forward to stop his daughter.
Maruta looked at Rick without any hatred, so he gently asked Ewan how he died.
The situation is that this time they encountered Demon Species, and Ewan used it as a bait to cover their escape. The end is obvious.
Therefore, after understanding, Maruta said thank you and left with her daughter.
And this scene also made Cronie feel a little relieved.
Maruta is more rational than others. He knows that he cannot blame Rick for this kind of thing. On the contrary, he knows that Rick is the one who suffers the most.
Because the adults put the heavy burden on Rick, shouldering the task of continuing the lives of more than 2,000 people in this settlement.
Also under Rick's leadership, the number of deaths in this settlement in the past five years has not exceeded fifty, which is incredible.
Moreover, in every expedition, Rick is the first to bear the brunt, on the most dangerous frontier.
This expedition also yielded a lot, that is, we obtained the latest world map - found from the ruins of the battleship Goblin Species.
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.
When there was movement at the door leading to the outside world again, Cronie walked over angrily with a hammer, as if he wanted to hit someone.
The reason why he was so angry was that his brother suddenly disappeared and went out alone a few days after he came back last time. This is really crazy.
When the person walked in, Cronie was ready to step forward and curse him in the face.
However, she was stunned when she saw a small figure following Rick.
Have you found a survivor? Might still be the only survivor.
By the way, this is a girl, right? He looks younger and very cute.
Therefore, Cronie was instantly delighted.
"I told you, it turns out I went there to find a wife."
Although it's young, it's okay. It will just grow out in a few years.
Therefore, Cronie is certainly happy that his younger brother has finally found the idea to find a woman to carry on the family line.
Of course, the premise is really what Cronie wants.
So, she immediately stepped forward and hugged the young girl.
Um?
this!
Cronie's body was slightly stiff, but she hid it very well and didn't let anyone notice anything strange about her0..
There's something wrong with this little girl!
This little girl is not human!
He was panicking inside, but Rick was not the kind of person to mess around, so his trust in his brother suppressed his panic.
In the blink of an eye, this child has been living together in this settlement for more than half a year, which also makes Cronie relax a lot.
As for his identity, she also speculated.
Therefore, in the past six months, Rick has obtained more useful things than ever before.
This is all the credit of this child.
"Ah, it's impossible to repair when it's like this."
Cronie looked at the telescope in his hand that was broken by someone else while complaining.
Of course, complaining is not really complaining.
Cronie also knows that no matter how well these telescopes are protected, they will eventually wear out.
Because when it is used outside, it will be more or less touched by black dust and eroded little by little.
Therefore, every time she had to polish the lenses again, they became thinner and thinner, and of course the effect became worse and worse.
This time, no matter how you look at it, it won't work.
Therefore, we can only take the telescopes that were repaired a few years ago and leave a spare one for Ya Lei.
"What? Shubi?"
The petite girl wearing a hood next to her was looking at her improved spiritual needle plate.
The girl's name is Shubi, the one Rick brought back.
"I've seen similar spiritual needle disks. No, that one is smaller, about the size of my palm."
"Ah? Have you seen it?"
How could someone make something so small? More genius than her.
Of course, Cronie won't think that person is of any other race, because those things don't need that.
This shows that Shubi has seen type 3.8 people with such a small spiritual needle disk.
"When was it? Where have you seen it?"
"The more recorded data, no, it is based on memory. If we push the time forward from now, it will be about one thousand six hundred and seventy-two years -"
"Huh?"
I have to interrupt, stop spilling the beans.
"You heard wrong, it was one thousand six hundred and seventy-two days ago"
"Oh oh"
Cronie just seemed like he heard it wrong.
"What does the other person look like?"
"Well, this..."
Without saying anything, she just picked up a pen and a piece of paper from her work table and started scribbling on the paper.
No, that's not graffiti, that's drawing.
Soon, a portrait with such delicate details that it seemed impossible for humans to paint appeared.
The person in the painting made Cronie's pupils shrink violently.
No, no!
This is no longer a question of resemblance, but simply the same person!.
Chapter 571: Home is destroyed again, what is about to begin...
For more than half a year, almost everyone has dropped their guard against Shubi.
However, Shubi's notification today made Cronie's lowered guard instantly come back, and it was full.
The teacher is definitely not an ordinary person, there is some secret.
And Cronie also firmly believes that it has no malicious intentions or intentions towards human beings.
Because I really can't imagine that in this Hell world, creatures as weak as humans would have anything worth planning.
On the contrary, it is leading mankind and allowing mankind to continue in this Hell world.
Try to keep the human fire alive as much as possible.
The arrival of Shubi now makes Cronie suspect that he came here with a purpose.
And this purpose may be to investigate the situation of Teacher Zhou.
Therefore, Cronie also panicked inside.
This means that humans are afraid of being stared at and observed by those monsters.
And these monsters can easily harvest a group of humans with just a wave of their hands.
So, calm down, calm down, calm down!
The Shubi in front of 02 cannot be allowed to realize one thing, that is, Teacher Zhou is exactly the same as the one drawn on the paper.
She can be sure that after Shubi came here, he had little understanding of Teacher Zhou, the former leader.
Although Rick also introduced her, he also tried to avoid letting her come into contact with too many people, so Rick probably never told people like Teacher Zhou.
Therefore, Cronie should be calm now, and her facial expression should be calm, so as not to let the cute-looking child in front of her see that her reaction to the above painting is abnormal.
"Cronie, what's going on?"
"Huh? It's nothing."
"Oh"
The girl in front of her was as calm as ever, unable to see clearly what she was thinking, which made Cronie very nervous.
Then, after hearing Rick's call, he left.
So, Cronie hopes Rick won't let anything slip.
So, I was a little nervous for a while, but after a few months, almost a year after Shubi came here, Cronie relaxed again.
Because I have never seen any harmful behavior done to the settlement.
More importantly, she discovered something particularly amazing, something that she couldn't believe.
This kid seems to have a crush on Rick.
Over the past year, this child has gone from being hypocritical at the beginning to becoming real.
When he first came to this settlement, despite his pitiable attitude, Cronie clearly felt a strong sense of disobedience, just pretending to be the same.
No matter how you look at it now, it is not false, but real.
It's as if this child has gained feelings here, I'm afraid that's what it's like.
She didn't quite believe her current emotions, and she was just pretending.
So, this was real, which made her particularly shocked.
Then, that day came so suddenly, which caught her a little off guard, but she also felt that it was expected.
In the settlement, there is also a large telescope that can see farther, which is better than the teacher's.
This telescope was not made by humans, but was found from the ruins of Goblin Species's battleship and repaired by Cronie.
