Damn It...
Bucharest, Selma House.
After contacting Maeve via text message, Li Yao opened Lin Xiaowei's message box. "I need help."
Since Lin Xiaowei advanced to the Intermediate Rank Mage, she has been spending more and more time online. Upon receiving the message, she replied instantly, "What happened?"
The message Li Yao sent this time seemed off!
Even though there's such a great distance between us, even though the screen displays only text,
Lin Xiaowei also noticed that something was wrong with Li Yao through their long-standing tacit understanding.
Li Yao felt his fingers stiffen, and even his emotions were somewhat out of control... He sat there, unconsciously gripping his phone tightly, as if he could grasp something that way.
He replied, "I have a friend..."
Li Yao quietly recounted his experiences, without sending voice messages or making voice calls, simply typing out the details of the people and events he had encountered during this period to Lin Xiaowei.
Finally,
He said, "I told him before I left today that I would help him prepare the potion when I got back, to help him become an Inhuman. I know that guy isn't cut out for fieldwork. He just envies having superpowers so he can show off. He's such a simple and nice person... but he's gone in the time it takes me to go out."
"I'm too late..."
"He was terrified of death. When he saw me come back, he looked at me and said he didn't want to die. I gave him some medicine, but the medicine couldn't save him."
"I told him he wouldn't die as long as I was there."
"I lied, I lied to him."
Lin Xiaowei: "..."
Even through the screen, she could feel Li Yao's sadness.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered a sentence she had seen before. "It's raining in your city, and I really want to ask if you brought an umbrella. But I held back, because I was afraid you'd say you didn't, and I wouldn't be able to help..."
Now,
Lin Xiaowei felt the same way.
It felt like a pair of icy hands piercing through your chest, slowly gripping your heart, gradually stopping its beating, and everything fell into silent stillness.
It's a terrible feeling.
I thought about it for a long time.
Lin Xiaowei replied, "Whatever you want to do, I'll support you."
Li Yao: "I'm going to kill some people to accompany the Da Jin in death. I haven't even used the Cross-Plane Anchoring Beacon you gave me last time, so help me blast them away."
Lin Xiaowei: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things for you!"
Cross-Plane Strike from a high-level Mage Tower! In terms of scale, it's completely equivalent to a full-force strike from a high-level seventh-tier expert! After doing all this,
Li Yao put away his phone and sat there quietly.
Meanwhile, Xisen and his men were not idle. Xisen picked up blood-stained One-Handed Longsword from the ground, and without wiping the blood off them, he jumped off the building with the swords in his arms.
Garrett also picked up his Punch Dagger and followed in Xisen's footsteps.
But that Nightspawn...
After a moment of averted glances, he said to Li Yao, "Xisen and Garrett are preparing to return to their tribe to call for their companions. I... I won't participate in the next operation."
After saying that,
He took off his Red Gloves and placed them next to Li Yao: "Can I... can I leave?"
"Go."
Li Yao waved his hand and said.
Nightspawn was immediately relieved, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a few leaps.
Selma looked around her house, momentarily bewildered. "What do we do next?"
Li Yao: "Wait."
Just then,
His phone rang again; it was Big Sis Feng Li. He answered calmly, "What's wrong?"
Big Sis Feng Li suddenly felt a toothache...
Something's wrong with this kid! He's usually so sarcastic! She carefully chose her words and said, "Brother, it's time to come back."
Li Yao said in a flat tone, "Jiang Da Jin is dead. Many other people died too... Of course, the key thing is that Da Jin is dead."
Feng Li: "..."
She said softly, "I know, but the situation in Europe is strange... very dangerous. You should withdraw."
Li Yao: "Tell me, why are these people so idle? What are they after?"
He paused, then said seriously, "Sister, I think someone needs to keep an eye on them."
Big Sis Feng Li was going crazy. "Go and do something about it!"
Li Yao: "... Well, how about I give it a try?"
Big Sis Feng Li: "???"
Why can't this person hear right from wrong?! She was about to continue lecturing when she heard Li Yao hang up the phone... hung up! When she called back... she was blocked! Damn it! At this moment, Big Sis Feng Li was in a panic. Although Madam Qian said that Lao Nie was there, Big Sis Feng Li was still a little worried... she couldn't understand the situation at all!
Before making the call, she tried to contact Old Lu, but couldn't reach him! She then tried contacting Liang Zichuan, Ye Tianshi, and Wang Dalong, but still couldn't get through!
It was as if the leaders of the Wallfacers' major cities had vanished in an instant. This bizarre change made Big Sis Feng Li very panicked... Damn it, is the organization about to make a big splash?!
But unfortunately...
She didn't know!
After Li Yao hung up the phone, he continued to wait. By the afternoon, members of the Full Sky Star Society arrived one after another. Each of them had signs of fighting, and some members were even injured on their way there.
Fortunately, there were no staff losses.
By evening, nearly two hundred members of the Baby's Breath group had gathered near the villa.
Normally, gathering so many superhumans would definitely attract the attention of relevant official organizations, but at this time of year, the official organizations might be hoping for more civilian superhuman organizations! After so many superhumans gathered together, they began to occupy the open space in the community to rest and recuperate. The Full Sky Star Society fully demonstrated its style from when it was hunting in the subspace—making use of every available resource!
then,
Some of them went to an empty supermarket and found various canned goods and food, as well as camping tents... So they set up camp right there in the neighborhood and started preparing food.
Initially, many residents in the neighborhood were worried that these people weren't good, but after discovering that they didn't disturb the peace and even personally defeated several waves of monsters, some bolder residents came out to bring food and supplies to the members of the Full Sky Star Society. Eventually, they simply cooked and ate and drank together with the Full Sky Star Society members...
This lively scene somehow dispelled the intense apocalyptic atmosphere.
It even gave me a sense of joy, like "eating hot pot and singing songs".
Li Yao was originally on the second floor, but as the commotion below grew louder, he couldn't help but walk to the gap in the wall to take a look.
Ginawell approached Li Yao, saying with no small amount of pride, "Not bad, right!"
Selma, who was curled up on one side, looked at Ginawell with a face full of question marks!
—What's so good about it? You're a society of supernatural beings!
It's not some kind of camping association!
Then Selma saw Li Yao nod in affirmation and say, "Yes, just like me."
Selma: "???"
Whatever you want? What's wrong with you? I was just wondering...
Li Yao shouted down, "You did a great job of not disturbing the people, but did you pay them for taking their things?"
Selma: "..."
"What the hell are you talking about at a time like this?" But the group below just grinned and laughed, "Is that even a question? We at Baby's Breath are so rich we're practically broke!"
Someone waved a roasted lamb leg around and said, "President, come down and have some!"
Someone else was shaking a beer can. "Have a drink too!"
Li Yao laughed, and then thought:
Would things be more lively if Da Jin were here? Just thinking about it made his eyes sting a little, as if he could see Jiang Da Jin, all smiles and familiarity, saying in his Tianjin accent, "Look at this guy! I am Jiang Da Jin!"
"I am Chinese! Purely Chinese!"
Oh shit...
