Chapter 2 The Legacy of Woe
"No~ Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold. By the way, do you want some soup~ I'll get you a bowl~"
Bai Xi winked at Xiyou, trying to change the subject.
"Brother, why don't you agree? I have a good grasp of my own abilities now. Besides, Super Star Academy has no tuition fees and there is a monthly allowance. This... is very good for us."
"And...and becoming an alien is my dream..." Xiyou retorted to Bai Xi in an extremely small voice.
........
"No, it's no. You forgot the way you were dying in the ruins, but I didn't forget. You don't know how scary the White Walkers and mutants are. I rescued you because I just wanted you to live a good life."
This life.”
Bai Xi's tone was light, and the smile at the corner of his mouth had not completely disappeared. His light blue eyes gradually lowered, looking at the rice in his hand.
"But brother, I don't want to be a burden to you. I know that the work in our repair shop is not easy at all, and there are often no customers... I eat and drink for free, and I also want you to
Live a good life."
Xiyou was a little excited. She really wanted Bai Xi to relax a little. Bai Xi often had some inexplicable injuries on his body.
Once when she was paying her tuition, Bo Xi had a big cut on her chest. She was so scared when she got home, but Bo Xi just waved his hand and said it was a minor injury caused by repairing the car, and then took out the tuition fee.
Let her go to school well.
If possible, Xiyou doesn't want Bai Xi to do such dangerous things again, especially for her own sake.
"You are my sister, how can you be a burden to me?"
Bai Xi rubbed his temples and looked up at Xiyou again.
"Xiao Xi, you are not a burden to me, you are the person I want to protect."
Bai Xi's tone was light from beginning to end, but his slight frown still made people feel his slight anger.
Bai Xi's face always makes people feel that he is not twenty-six years old, but his appearance is childish. It's him. When Bai Xi is serious, he still gives people a strong sense of oppression.
"Anyway, you are not allowed to participate in the DX selection."
Dinner ended unhappily, the chirping of cicadas came from the tree trunks, and the summer heat was relieved by the evening breeze. Xiyou lay on the bed, looking at the DX Academy registration form in her hand and sighed silently.
The city where Xiyou is located is Chuyu City, the central city of District 15, which is also the city where the headquarters of the Alien Bureau is located. If you look at the map alone, District 15 is quite large, but it is not as big as before the disaster.
As for people's living standards, it can only be said that there has been no regression and not much progress. Just like Bai Xi's repair workshop, he can repair and modify some new things, but he cannot make them look like those in science fiction movies.
The world now is not like it was when the disaster just struck. After a hundred years of precipitation, people are gradually living in an orderly manner, and the managers of each district have also protected the remaining humans very well.
When we are in the end of the world, we can’t help but just want to survive.
My brother's idea is right, it is what most people think, and Xiyou can't refute it.
Xiyou looked out the window at the blue-purple sky. The stars in the sky were all gathered together. Although not as dazzling as the sun and as gentle as the moon, at a certain moment it did indeed illuminate the direction of the lost direction.
Xiyou thought, let's talk to my brother tomorrow, tomorrow...
*********
"Call Xiaoyi, received the answer!" A cold and calm call came from the intercom headset.
"Tsk" The man impatiently cut off the power of the walkie-talkie. The alley was dark and silent, except for the sound of one or two mice rummaging around the trash can. The man named Xiaoyi frowned slightly, enduring the rotten smell.
The nights in Dongcheng District, District 15 are unusually quiet, with crows circling and chirping over the city from time to time.
At the end of the alley, the moonlight shines through the clouds onto the earth, and an inhuman shadow appears on the ground. Suddenly, a man rushes out from the corner of the shadow, and there seems to be a bright light on his fingertips. Within a few seconds, a miserable voice comes from the inhuman monster.
Sent in the air.
Xiaoyi shook off the sticky liquid that was splashed on his hand and turned on the intercom again.
"The mission is accomplished, the White Walker is dead."
"Have you heard? Yesterday, a strange ghost appeared in the ancient city streets of Xicheng District. It looked scary."
"Of course I know. Although the news reports this morning were mosaic, the sticky and bloody feeling still makes people very uncomfortable."
"By the way, have you seen Captain Qi Zhao being interviewed? He is really handsome!"
On the way to school, the students all chatted about the White Walkers in the middle of the night yesterday. For many people, the White Walkers are really a rare species that they only learn about in books. They have basically never seen one or two on TV since they were born.
Times, forget about reality.
"Everyone, we speculate that there is more than one White Walker this time. Residents in Dongcheng District are asked to be vigilant and not go out at 10pm. Also, our Alien Bureau will protect the safety of all residents, above."
The TV showed Captain Qi Zhao being interviewed. Xiyou stuffed another big mouthful of bread into her mouth. Her eyes were swollen, as if she didn't sleep well last night.
"Um...different...I...solve...um..."
Bai Xi held his forehead and said, "Swallow the bread before you talk! Take a sip of milk~"
After saying that, he put a glass of warm milk into Xiyou's hand.
"The White Walkers actually appeared in the public eye. I thought the Alien Bureau would quietly solve the problem without telling them." After Xiyou finished speaking, she took another sip of milk and wiped her mouth with satisfaction.
"Maybe it's because we found that there are still unsolved White Walkers, and we are worried about the safety of the people." Bai Xi said in a very low voice while watching the TV report.
Seeing her brother in such a daze, Xiyou thought that Bai Xi was worried about something.
He said, "Don't be afraid, brother, I will protect you when the White Walkers come!"
Then he patted his chest again, it seemed like that.
The brother and sister didn't have any conflicts overnight. Even if they did, they would not mention the topic that caused the two to break up after sleeping.
When Bai Xi saw Xiyou like this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm not afraid. It's just you. Be careful on your way to and from school. Come back early to protect yourself."
With that said, he handed the schoolbag to Xiyou.
The morning sun was always warm and comfortable. Bai Xi put some more cat food into the cat bowl. Pocky yawned and meowed twice, with a look of contentment and enjoyment.
"Yuzi, have you watched the news?" Chu Han shrugged and fixed the backpack on his shoulders better.
"Of course, it is said that there are strange ghosts here, so we have to be careful."
Xiyou absentmindedly kicked the stones on the road, and the brand new DX Academy registration form in her backpack swayed as Xiyou jumped up.
"Chu Han, do you think there will be any reward for killing the White Walkers if they are not from the alien planet?"
Xiyou took the chocolate from Chu Han. Chu Han's family ran a dessert shop. From the time Xiyou met Chu Han, Chu Han would bring Xiyou delicious but not overly sweet desserts.
To be honest, the grapefruit pudding made by Chu Han is particularly delicious. Chu Han is kind and gentle. Xiyou really likes her as a good friend.
"I don't know about this, but it might be possible. Why do you ask? You don't want to do anything dangerous, do you?"
Chu Han turned around and stood in front of Xiyou, his thin eyebrows twisted tightly together, and his soft eyes stared straight at Xiyou.
"No! How is that possible!"
Xiyou scratched her head and then smiled.
"I would like to kill the White Walkers, but I don't have the conditions."
"Don't do anything stupid. Although you have extraordinary athletic talent and amazing bones, you are definitely no match for those monsters that eat human flesh and blood." Chu Han said seriously.
"Hahaha, Chu Han, when you say that, I think you are complimenting me. I'm so embarrassed~" Xiyou looked at Chu Han's increasingly serious expression and wanted to make a joke to lighten the atmosphere.
"I'm serious! Besides, we ordinary people just need to live our own lives. In this troubled world, being with our families and preserving our lives are the most important things..."
Chu Han lowered her head and looked at her toes, making it difficult to see her expression at the moment.
Xiyou couldn't help but think of her brother's words last night, "Well, being with family is more important..."
The ring on the index finger of Xiyou's right hand reflects silver brilliance under the sunlight, like one of thousands of stars, shining with its own light.
"Xiao Yi, I told you that all actions must be subject to command, do you think this is a game?"
The man yelled harshly at the boy who was leaning against the wall in front of him.
"Your brother asked you to follow the action to increase your knowledge, not to let you do whatever you want! Not only did you mess up the plan, but also let the two White Walkers escape after hearing the news, you...!"
Qi Zhao pointed at Xiao Yi in front of him, and his voice became louder and louder. Several other people in the surrounding team did not dare to step forward and speak.
Xiao Yi frowned, said nothing, pursed his lips, his dark blue hair was slightly messy by the wind, and the blade of his fingertips kept spinning in his hand.
Qi Zhao rubbed his temples with bulging veins and leaned against the wall to smoke a cigarette. The smell of nicotine stabilized the man's mood a little.
"You are a little brat, but you still pretend to be handsome. I will definitely talk to your brother about it when I get back."
Xiaoyi's eyelids jumped when he heard his brother's words, and he lowered his head a little, "I'm sorry..."
Qingsong from the team saw that the atmosphere seemed to be able to be adjusted, and immediately jumped out to ease the atmosphere.
"Oh, Captain Qi, young boy Xiaoyi is a child, so don't be angry. Young boy Xiaoyi has also admitted his mistake. Look, don't be angry."
Aomatsu adjusted his glasses and bumped Shigure next to him with his elbow.
Shigure originally didn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter, but Aomatsu kept insisting. Shigure glanced at Aomatsu fiercely and smoothed things over.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. It's Xiaoyi's first time on a mission. It's inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises. Anyway, there is only one White Walker left. I believe Qingsong will find his whereabouts soon, don't you think so, Qingsong~"
Qingsong felt his right eyelid twitch violently. Sure enough, he shouldn't mess with women.
Qi Zhao frowned and put out his cigarette butt, "Xiao Yi, you must follow the command for your next actions. We have much more experience than you, a young boy who just passed the entrance exam. Don't just rely on your outstanding ability to refuse to cooperate. Remember
Come on, you are my team member now and I am your captain."
".... Got it." Xiao Yi moved his black pupils slightly, stopped turning his fingertip blade, and followed the team to start the search.
Although it was daytime, the temperature in the deep alley was surprisingly low, and there was a constant sound of branches scraping against the cement.
Chapter completed!
