Chapter 153
The sky is blood red, the sun is setting, and the burning clouds connect the horizon.
The city without people turned into ruins, dilapidated buildings, overturned buildings, countless strange beasts roaming the streets, and people hiding underground like rats crossing the street.
The wind blew up the dust on the ground, and the lowly beasts, which were as small as ants, were swallowed in the blink of an eye.
Human purgatory.
The sober gods in the clouds opened their eyes, and the horn of war was heard from far away in the sky. The gears of fate began to turn, and an epic battle with heavy casualties was about to begin.
Since then, there will be no dawn, no night, only a bloody dusk.
Standing on the dusty ground, he raised his head and looked into a pair of emotionless eyes.
Suzaku spread its wings behind him and took him into its arms like a hug, leaving only embers on the ground after burning.
----
"Why haven't you woken up yet?" There was an unconcealable intersection in the sweet voice.
"How do I know?" Another lazy voice tickled his ear like a feather.
"You don't know who knows? It's not what you did to him, how could he faint and fail to wake up?"
"Don't touch porcelain, I just happened to see it."
There was a faint voice coming from Feng Mian's ear, someone was talking in his ear all the time, it seemed that there was an argument, who was it?Such a familiar voice...
My whole body hurt like being run over by a truck, and my throat was so dry.
After recovering from the initial dizziness, he finally slowly opened his eyes.
The two arguing voices stopped abruptly, and the next moment two enlarged faces appeared in front of his eyes.
Under Jiang Tang's tightly frowned brows were eyes filled with worry, she threw herself on Feng Mian's chest, stretched out her hand in front of his eyes, and called his name nervously.
"Sleep? Sleep? Can you hear me?"
The eyes gradually changed from blurred to clear, seeing Jiang Tang's pretty face appearing in front of his eyes, Feng Mian felt as if he had passed away.
He stretched out his hand, the adult's fingers were slender, with well-defined joints, and he came back.
When he opened his mouth to speak, he realized that his voice was hoarse: "Now... when is it?"
Jiangtang became more nervous: "It's 45:[-] in the evening, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable?"
Feng Mian supported the bed and sat up, only to find himself lying on the bed in the laboratory: "I'm asking... today's date, how long have I been asleep?"
Jiang Tang touched his forehead: "August [-]th, you slept for several hours, and you couldn't wake up no matter how you screamed."
He looked at the chandelier above his head in a trance. It has been a thousand years in the cave, and it has been a day in the world.
Xu Xingyi raised his eyelids: "If you don't wake up, your girlfriend will eat me alive."
He turned his head and looked at the long-haired woman standing on the chair beside the bed. Suddenly, an immature girl's face appeared in front of his eyes, slowly overlapping with Xu Xingyi's exquisite face.
"What are you looking at me for?" Xu Xingyi curled his lips and winked at Feng Mian, "It's not good to just look at other women in front of your girlfriend?"
Jiang Tang held his face in both hands, and turned his head to himself: "Don't look at her! Just look at me!"
Feng Mian's thoughts were recalled by her: "Why are you here..."
Jiang Tang puffed her face: "What's wrong? Can't I come? Or do you mean you don't want me to come!"
The sense of fragmentation he had just returned to reality was dissipated by Jiang Tang's coquettishness, and he found the feeling of being down-to-earth again.
He kissed the corner of Jiang Tang's mouth: "No, thank you for coming to me."
Thank you for your existence, which made me so firmly want to return to reality, and not get lost in the world of fragments where memory fades.
Jiang Tang blushed all of a sudden: "What are you talking about, thank you, are we still being polite?"
She lightly hammered Feng Mian's chest, and he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
Holding ginger candy, smelling the fruity fragrance in her hair, the heart that was originally empty was finally filled.
Xu Xingyi knocked on the edge of the bed: "It's alright, alright, don't show your affection, don't you see someone beside you? I'll be jealous too, okay?"
Jiang Tang glared at Xu Xingyi angrily.
Xu Xingyi ignored her eyes and looked at Feng Mian: "Why did you appear here, except for me, no one in Jade Bird should know the existence of this laboratory."
Feng Mian let go of Jiang Tang, hesitating how to make up a reason to deceive Xu Xingyi.
"Forget it." Xu Xingyi folded his hands on his knees, "It's useless to ask, I'm not interested in listening to your impromptu lies."
"However, this place is considered a secret. If you sneak in, you will be punished."
Upon hearing the punishment, Jiang Tang was even more nervous than Feng Mian: "What punishment?"
Xu Xingyi rolled his eyes: "Generally speaking, it is a very serious punishment, but you are my subordinate, so I will forcefully open a back door for you."
"I'll punish you for a mission, and come with me."
Jiangtang suddenly became unhappy: "I also want to go on missions with Feng Mian, and I will be punished together with him."
"That won't work." Xu Xingyi patted his skirt and stood up, "I will send you the mission time."
She walked to the door, turned around and emphasized again: "It's just the two of us, you can go now, and you should meet the researchers at work later, they have always been nocturnal and vampires."
Feng Mian grabbed the angry Jiang Tang: "Okay, okay, we will leave Jade Bird after this task is finished."
Jiang Tang was a little worried: "But after you leave, there may be people with bad intentions who will attack you and try to take away your abilities..."
He held Jiang Tang's hand: "It's okay, trust me."
The end is coming anyway, it is impossible for someone to keep biting me, everyone wants to survive.
Moreover, he doesn't want to stay in this disgusting place anymore.
"Let's go back."
There are more drones on the streets, they are active citizens in the dark.
Every household stays behind closed doors, and the once bustling city shows a decadent depression
Walking on the road, Feng Mian can clearly feel that there are more and more changes in the city, and it seems that more strange beasts are waking up from their deep sleep.
Countless beast eyes watching everything in the city in the night.
"Shh-"
A dark shadow suddenly flashed in the alley.
Its speed is very fast, but Feng Mian can see it clearly. It has three heads, no limbs, only a torso sliding on the ground, like a snake, but its whole body is covered with feathers.
Has the strange beast started to become active in the middle of the night?
It sensed someone, opened its mouth, flew over like a spring and bit Feng Mian, its sharp white fangs gleamed coldly under the moonlight.
It's ridiculous in Feng Mian's heart that a mere low-level beast dares to overestimate itself in front of him.
He raised his hand to call out Bang to wrap around the snake-like beast.
Feng Mian watched it struggle desperately with cold eyes, but it still couldn't resist the fire dragon, and was eventually burned to ashes.
The ashes on the ground were blown away by the wind.
"Come on, go home."
Jiang Tang's footsteps stopped and she didn't move, she just stared blankly at Feng Mian's back.
Feng Mian thought she had discovered something, and just about to turn around to ask her, she suddenly ran up from behind and hugged her.
She leaned on his back, listening to his heartbeat: "what happened when you were in Qingniao?"
