Chapter 14 Giant Beast

Lu Qingcheng and Ritsugu spent the night on the fourth floor, and I followed Xue Ling down to the first floor to lay the floor.In fact, there is no need to lay the ground floor. Because it is a large supermarket, it is almost open 24 hours a day. There are beds on the first floor.There are several folding beds behind the main counter on the first floor. Xue Ling picked out a relatively new one and opened it. We spent this night returning to the city on this bed.

People who are used to big beds will find it difficult to bear the hard wooden bed. If I used to be, I would toss and turn and couldn’t fall asleep, but now I am lucky to find a wooden bed after going through the era of destruction. I usually sleep on the car seat Survivors of the last days, having a decent bed is simply a gift from God.The only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is that the walls of the supermarket are all glass, and it always feels like something is watching us from outside.

Is this feeling...uneasy?

Like every night before, I slept peacefully in Xueling's arms, and when the sun shone on us through the transparent glass, I woke up slowly from my dream.Xue Ling had already woken up, still holding me with one hand and stroking my hair with the other, the corners of her lips were tender enough to drown someone.This is a scene we experience almost every day, but every time there is an unspeakable warmth in my heart.I remember that before the era of destruction, when we first entered high school and struggled with the piles of exercises and test papers, I told her that I didn't want to live a monotonous life, but I only hope that only the people around me will remain unchanged.Now that I think about it, is that my confession?It should not be counted, after all, we are sisters who support each other to survive, we are the most important and most inseparable existence in the world to each other.

We have almost never encountered all kinds of conflicts that ordinary sisters always experience. Because my sister is too good and my sister lives in the shadow of her sister, this kind of thing can't affect our relationship. I will be proud of my sister, not only will I not be jealous Instead, I hope she gets better.I position myself as a knight next to the king. How can a knight hope that the king is not strong?Contrary to what I thought, Xue Ling positioned herself as a king, but to me she positioned herself as a princess—no effort or ability needed, just smiling happily within the reach of the king's sharp sword. enough.

I will be the queen, and you will be my princess.

As for the princess, even though I don’t want to admit it, under the protection of Xue Ling, I have indeed developed towards a princess who can only rely on the protection of knights and kings.

"Sit for a while when you wake up. Although you want to make breakfast, it is not allowed in this environment. When you wake up, we will go to the top floor to have breakfast."

I have a strange wake-up hysteresis, my body wakes up but my consciousness doesn’t catch up, and my whole body is in a chaotic state that is not much better than when I was asleep. At this time, even if a zombie crawls towards me, I don’t know how to avoid it.

After 10 minutes, I woke up and found that Xue Ling had changed clothes.

What she is wearing now is no longer a tights suitable for combat, but a fashionable dress with a neckline that opens almost to her chest, revealing her round shoulders and beautiful collarbone; On the career line, the tighter breasts of the dress can better show her fullness; the waist design of the dress perfectly interprets the concept of the water snake waist.I looked straight, but I didn't even hear her calling me twice, until she couldn't help but bent down and squatted down to put on my shoes, pulled me up and went to the roof.

"..."

I looked at the large expanse of snow-white skin she showed, and while swallowing secretly, I was also dissatisfied.Although she is pretty, she looks good in anything, and I can get a little bit addicted to this dress if it is so revealing, but I can't see it alone. There is a female hooligan on it. When I think of her, I will be caught by Lu Qing. Cheng looked at me with presumptuous eyes and felt uncomfortable all over.

Lu Qingcheng was not there, and even Ritsugu didn't know where he went.Two iron pots are placed on a simple stove, and there is residual heat from firewood underneath.We really need coal, and just bringing firewood from the mountains for the fire of life cannot last for a long time.It should be very difficult to find coal, so let's make do with it before that.

It is so blissful to be able to drink a bowl of hot porridge in the early morning in the era of destruction.I sipped the porridge, Xue Ling sat on the chair next to me and looked at the sky in a daze.

The sky in the morning, the clear blue sky and the floating white clouds are really, really beautiful.

"Sister Hitsugaya... Where did Hitsugaya go?"

Being swept over by her half-smiling eyes, I immediately removed the suffix of sister obediently.Xue Ling is my only older sister, and she is very concerned about the fact that I call everyone older sister, although I think my behavior is just out of politeness.Well, it's nice to have such a sister who is a sister-in-law, isn't it, at least I feel needed.

"We used to bring back soil from the outside world to spread on the top floor platform, and now they are looking for another way. Hitsugaya's message to me is to make full use of natural resources while laying soil on the zenith, where there is water. Crop planting in the muddy lake area. I think this proposal is quite good, there is a large piece of fertile land in the lake area to meet our food needs, and the zenith of the building only needs to be able to grow a certain amount of vegetables.”

"Speaking of the laying of the soil layer on the top floor, why no one told me." I never knew about the plan, "When did it start?"

"I had planned this for a long time, but I changed my mind after seeing the soil in the lake area yesterday. As for why I didn't tell you, your body can't do the work of laying the soil."

"..."

The ruins of the city seem to have no hope of reconstruction at all. This ruin is like the devastated Berlin at the end of World War II.After the war, Berlin and Tokyo were full of ruins. Some people once pessimistically estimated that it would take 20 years to remove the broken tiles everywhere. However, these two cities recovered at an alarming rate in just five years.It would be great if it could be revived, but I also know that this is impossible. In the first wave of explosions, the vast majority of people have died together with the city center. Secondary disasters such as water pollution are enough to kill all hope of survivors in the ruins of the city.People in the central city died from the direct impact of high temperature and shocks, while the deaths in the periphery were caused by the catastrophe brought about by zombies.

Is there no hope?Were there no other survivors who met us at this time?Hey, there seems to be someone over there?

"I seem to have found a survivor."

"it is good."

Xue Ling opened the black box thrown on the roof, took out a lot of parts from it, and assembled these parts into a sniper rifle right in front of my face.It took her 5 minutes to assemble the scattered parts back into a complete weapon. In my opinion, this is a terrifying speed-I never knew she could use thermal weapons. She was just a student before the era of destruction, how could there be Thermal weapons and look to have at least a few years of experience.

"Zombie group."

"So the sniper gun is useless, right? Sister Xue, let's leave the top floor as soon as possible, or the zombies may find us."

"You overestimate the zombies. They mainly rely on smell and hearing instead of vision to find food. The zombies in the neighborhood have no possibility of seeing us standing on the zenith of the sixth floor. Then we can look at us from a position that the zombies cannot find. They attack. The sniper gun only has three bullets, and I keep them to deal with the human survivors who came to attack, zombies and so on, and wait for Hitsugaya and the gangsters to come back and give them to deal with."

I suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.A long time ago, I half-jokingly said to Xue Ling that if we were Mesozoic dragons, Xue Ling would be a powerful and fearless Tyrannosaurus rex, while I would be a hadrosaurus who would run away without any combat weapons.In other words, my judgment and foresight of danger is far incomparable to Xue Ling, who prides herself on her mighty force.Now, I have this suffocating sense of crisis.

"Sister! Hurry up and hide downstairs!"

The ground under his feet vibrated slightly, and the dull sound slowly approached.Some kind of creature weighing in tons is coming this way, as evidenced by the rhythmic footsteps.It can make the roof of the sixth floor feel the vibration. This thing must have a huge size, and it is not an enemy that can be dealt with by mere guns.It's just that I don't know if this thing is a zombie or something, and it's pointless to try to figure it out now, I just need to find a place to hide.

We quickly retreated to the first floor, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, and the sense of shock became more and more obvious.I could see zombies walking past the glass walls of the supermarket. Unlike the excitement of hunting, these zombies were wandering aimlessly at this time.Then, the huge paw stepped down and hit an unlucky zombie, which was trampled into meat paste on the spot.

The bird-like claws with a length of about three meters raised and fell again, and the ground shook slightly with its footsteps again.On the first floor, we can only see its paws or its knees. The most conservative estimate of the height of this animal is more than eight meters, which is quite an astonishing value.It is impossible for us to defeat such an opponent. Just looking at the rough scales on that paw, we know that man-made disasters have brought about powerful species beyond human cognition, and this monster is one of the rewards of the Destruction Period to mankind.Maybe some part of the monster's body hit the building, and I could hear the sound of the building collapsing.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the vibration on the ground also weakened. I collapsed on the cold floor and gasped for air. Xueling patted my back to comfort me.After a long silence, I raised my head from Xue Ling's lap, looked at her pretty face full of tenderness, and suddenly smiled lightly.Xue Ling, will I hold you back if I am like this?I, who have no combat power, can hardly help you at all.

"I like you, that's enough."

As expected of Xue Ling, you can read my heart from the look of my eyes.I lay down again, pillowing her lap in silence.

Xue Ling, how long can this kind of life last?I know that for you, I am the most important existence and the least likely to give up, because of your strong fighting power, the new partners you have made will try their best to protect me, but this is too tiring.I also want to become stronger. I have tried fighting, bows and arrows, and knives, but every time I learn these things, the coach does not allow me to join, just because my fragile body is almost broken at the touch of a touch.

I can't help you with anything.I am like this...

"Xiaoyu. If you really want to help, don't think about the issue of combat. Everyone has inherent defects, and your fragile body has already determined that you cannot become a combat force in frontier operations. You can do other things."

"Then what can I do?"

"Just warm my bed."

The conversation suddenly flew off-line.I chuckled, the word warming the bed is too ambiguous, it always reminds me of something else.Xue Ling, to you I may be just a younger sister, but to me you are definitely not just a sister, so please don't keep making such ambiguous jokes, I will take it seriously.
