97. [The present world] Chapter ninety-six
Chapter 97 [Resurrection]
City H is located along the coast, and the epicenter is mostly located on the sea during the earthquake. The crew members who have been struggling in City H have been very calm at first about the earthquake, but soon they found something different, for example, this time it was a bit long.
Between the heaven and earth, the sea was surging, and the waves were surging, rolling up layers of huge waves, as if in the abyss under the sea, something was about to emerge!
At this time, most people looked confused and frightened after being awakened by sleepiness. They dressed in pajamas and gathered at the open space downstairs of the hotel as soon as possible. Seeing the building shaking left and right in an incredible animation effect in the continuous vibration, everyone looked at each other, and saw confusion and uneasiness in each other's eyes. The timid, who were already scared and weak, were sitting on the ground and only knew how to cry.
"The gunpowder in the warehouse is cleaned up and put it in batches, right?"
I don’t know who mentioned this in the chaos.
This sentence really made the crowd burst into pieces, "Ask Huamian", "Huamian should know", "I called her last night but didn't answer", "Has she come down?" Different voices "buzz" dispersed among the crowd-
People stretched their necks and widened their eyes, trying to find the girl who was usually taciturn in this chaotic night, so no one noticed that, not far from the crowd, the girls in the two costume groups hugged each other in panic in a group of panic...
"She won't be still in the warehouse, right?"
"You locked the door, ask me?"
"But the earth, the earthquake, will the gunpowder be—"
The two of them fell into strange silence for a few seconds. One of them suddenly had fear and despair flashing in their eyes. She squatted down and covered her ears and screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"No, I have to go and have a look!"
She rolled and crawled, holding her companion who was about to leave: "What are you going? Come back! Are you afraid of your life?"
"We..." The man who was pulled over his sleeve suddenly turned his head, his lips trembled, and his face was as pale as a ghost. "If the warehouse where the gunpowder was set exploded, we would be killing people..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her companion pulling her slowly stand up from the ground. She raised her head and looked at her eyes flashing with the light of madness and cruelty after being forced into desperate situation: "What are you afraid of? Each crew has one or two death places. Even if something really happens to her life, it cannot be blamed-"
The words have not yet finished.
A loud "boom" sound suddenly exploded, and a fire broke out from a distance to the west, reflecting the west like day!
A wave of heat accompanied by sand and stones, branches rolled up, the glass on the lower-rise building of the hotel was broken, the crowd screamed and messed up, everyone was lying on the ground with their heads covering their heads, everyone was so scared that they were out of their minds!
At this time, the earthquake finally stopped a little. People patted the glass fragments on their heads and got up. They were all extremely embarrassed and injured to varying degrees. In the crowd, Su Yan from the art studio cried out, "Is it the gunpowder warehouse exploded? Where is Huamian?" Then a timid began to cry and quickly covered her voice...
At this time, everyone was sighing, why did such an unlucky thing happen on the last day of the group withdrawal?
...
At this time, under the ruins of the warehouse in the west, Hua Mian shrank in a warm and strong embrace, with a pale face, soft hands and feet, and a trembling brain that lost control was not too much.
The last scene was replaying in her mind frantically-
When a strong earthquake shattered the light bulbs in the warehouse and went out, the surroundings were in a terrifying darkness;
The roof of the warehouse made an uncommon sound of breaking weights, and then gravel fell on top of her head;
She groped and ran to the warehouse door in the dark, and beat and called for help like crazy, but the warehouse door was still motionless. No one was passing by outside, only a wave of desperate wind whistling and the sound of mountains shaking and earth shaking;
Her back chills. At this moment, she seemed to have foreseeed what would happen next. She stopped trying to call for help and began to shout Xuan Ji's name at a loss-
"Yi Xuanji!"
"Yi Xuanji!!!"
"Bastard, don't come again if you don't come!"
She heard her voice as sharp and desperate as ever, and she was crying: At this last moment, she subconsciously thought of this name.
Then, the warehouse collapsed, and in the dark she saw the exposed wires lit up the only light and landed on the counted gunpowder box!
Hua Mian, who was pounding the warehouse door crazy, always felt that she had guessed something. Her voice stopped abruptly, but she just stared in horror, with the cold warehouse door behind her, staring foolishly as she rushed from the flames to the warehouse-
She seemed to have heard the sound of the wheels piercing the ground while the hearse was coming.
"Boom" explosion sounded, and a heat wave mixed with the smell of sulfur came to her face. Hua Mian's ears "buzzed", and then everything that happened in front of her suddenly fell into silence and turned into a ridiculous pantomime...
She watched the huge wall break and pressed towards her, but her feet seemed to have roots, and she couldn't run, and she didn't know where to run. In despair, she closed her eyes in the sky-storming fire-
...What does death feel like?
...But like when Yu Wugui's chest passed through the giant sword of the Demon Locking Tower, it was so bloody that it hurt that it could not make any sound?
When the world fell into silence and despair, the matter of death suddenly became more calm than expected.
Hua Mian's fingers trembled slightly, waiting quietly for that moment to come. However, the next second, when the wall completely cracked and another box of gunpowder was detonated. Hua Mian raised her hand to cover her eyes, but at this time she found that the imagined pain had not come-
Suddenly a blue light appeared on her head, and then she was thrown to the ground by someone!
Before she could even see everything in front of her, her head was grabbed by a big hand and pressed into her chest. The familiar aura was mixed with the coldness of the thin snow and strong wind...
In vain, it became wider. The huge Wugui Sword seemed to penetrate deep into the ground with burning blue flames. The sword energy overflowed and shattered the broken wall that was about to press on the two of them!
The man's warm breath was sprayed in her ears. She thought he was probably saying something to her, but unfortunately she was temporarily deaf due to the explosion at this moment. She could not hear anything. She could only stretch out her hand and carefully grasped his slightly rough fingertips-
It's like a small animal praying for protection in a vain place.
Next second.
She felt the big hand placed on her waist tighter, and she took a quick breath, her face pressed tightly in his arms - then there were several vibrations from the explosion after the gunpowder was ignited. After three minutes, the vibration stopped completely...
Everything finally came to this, the initial tranquility.
Retracting her thoughts, Hua Mian smelled the burning smell of her hair. At this time, she frowned slightly and raised her head, and suddenly she came to her senses: she seemed to have saved her life.
"...you are okay?"
Xuan Ji heard his obscure voice sound.
As if he felt his chest trembling and guessed that he was talking, Hua Mian struggled to raise his head from the man's arms, and saw his tight jaw and the corners of his lips that were pursed into a cold line. He paused and said in a low voice: "I can't hear what you said."
The man's body stiffened and frowned even tighter. He reached out and touched her ears. Hua Mian quickly shook his head: "For the time being, it will be fine in a while."
Then he felt the person holding him relax a little. He lowered his head and looked at the person who was quietly nesting in his arms.
In the ruins, there were only flames that had not yet been extinguished, shining in her eyes; lowering her head, her hand was still holding his fingertips tightly, and a warm and three-dimensional temperature was transmitted from his fingertips to her palms. This temperature seemed to remind her that nothing was an illusion...
Hua Mian blinked and let go of his big hand.
The man lowered his eyes and looked at her, his eyes slightly dull.
However, she then made another move that surprised him. She hugged his neck, climbed and squatted with force, and then her soft hand fell from his neck and groped on his back-
Xuan Ji hummed, and his eyebrows that had just been released flipped again. At the same time, he felt her soft hand carefully touching his clothes that were burned into rags by flames and his back that exposed the burning flesh... The sticky and hot touch on her hands made her shake her hands, and then she screamed in a low voice, her eyes were full of panic, and she suddenly retracted her hand!
Seeing her like a frightened rabbit, her mind flashed through her mind. When she arrived, she stood there, closed her eyes and looked at her death as if she was homeless... Her heart couldn't help but feel nervous again. She couldn't imagine what kind of scene he should face if she didn't hear her calling her name and arrived in time.
Xuan Ji sighed, his heart was mixed, he was frightened and glad, and he felt unkindly that the person in his arms was so panicked, compared to his previous closed eyes and waiting for death, he felt vivid and beautiful...
When Hua Mian grabbed his sleeve and asked him if it was painful, Xuan Ji had to press her head into his arms again. He heard her groan and calm down, and then he bullied her and laughed at her as if she couldn't hear it: "Why is it so noisy?"
Hua Mian raised her head and saw that the corners of his lips seemed to be slightly raised. She couldn't believe her dog eyes... She blinked hard and said to him: "You have burns on your back, so you have to go to the hospital."
Xuan Ji ignored her, but stood up, pulled Wugui Jian out of the ground and put her into the scabbard, bent down and picked her up horizontally, jumped several times, jumped away from the ruins of the warehouse, and came to the night snow forest outside. The cold wind blew, and the burns behind the fire seemed to be relieved.
In the shadow of the woods, Huamian stood firm on a big rock, looking straight with him, and was about to withdraw, but at this time he was caught by a sleeve. He felt the man squatting on the ground as if he was weak and innocent. He had no choice but to squat down...
In the night.
Hua Mian looked up at Xuan Ji.
He lowered his head and stared at his eyes seriously and carefully. After a moment, he seemed to think that it was a waste of time to stare at such a big eye, so he simply started to move, and his hands kept moving. He first raised her jaw and observed whether there were any wounds on her face;
Then lift her hair to see if there were any fine wounds he missed in the place where the hair was blocking;
Finally, check her arms, legs and back-
In fact, he just now held her completely in his arms, so what kind of injuries could she have?
The whole process returned to silent again.
Xuan Ji looks very busy.
However, Hua Mian was rarely quiet and gentle and allowed him to fiddle with it. His mind could not turn around for a moment. He just looked at his busy throne as if he was so busy, so vivid that it was not like an illusion.
Finally, Hua Mian finally let out a long breath, which scared Xuan Ji and collapsed, and sat on the ground.
Sitting on the cold boulder, Hua Mian's mind was dull and realized that the only thought flashed through her was-
It's him.
Yi Xuanji.
