"Ding!"

The red flame went out, and the rotating microwave stopped.

The hot paella was brought out skillfully by Pike wearing gloves. On it, the few shrimps that Big Kurolo had peeled for me before he left were still in place.

"It's delicious!" I said, clutching my hungry belly.After all, I didn't eat breakfast, I just ate a sandwich given by the pastor for lunch, and I didn't eat two bites of dinner. It's no wonder I'm not hungry now!

Taking a spoon, I couldn't wait to start it. When I saw Pike who was still standing next to me, I was embarrassed and thankful: "Pike, do you want to eat it? Do you want to share it with you?"

"No, I was full just now." Pike waved his hands, his not-so-pretty eyebrows and eyes had a special charm because of the gentleness and softness, "Actually, it was thanks to you, Lydia."

"Oh," I nodded, hesitated and then said vaguely, "I probably won't need that afterward."

"What happened?" Pike didn't show disappointment, but asked with concern.

I shook my head and stopped talking.

When I devoured a bowl of paella, I saw Kuroro walking out the door alone.

"Kurolo, why are you going?" I asked in a loud voice, and simply put down the spoon and ran towards him.

"We're going to spend the night here." Kuroro said, "There are so many corpses outside, it's not enough to just leave them. I'll deal with them."

"Shall I go with you?" I said immediately.For me now, besides eating, sticking to Kuroro is the most important thing.

"No, I'll be back soon." Kuroro said, "Look at the sofa, there's something I brought back for you."

I was very pleasantly surprised, I left Kuroro and turned around and ran to the living room—is it a gift from the future me, for the present me? !

While I was eating, Kuroro had already divided up the two big bags and one knapsack he had brought back.In the living room, including Franklin and Lankis, everyone got a lot of things—obviously, ten years later, I remember what happened now much more clearly than Kurolo.

Taking a rough look, most of the things in everyone's hands are for food, especially the large bag of colorful snacks in Yan's arms is particularly conspicuous.Yan blushed with excitement, and couldn't wait to take it apart and share it with Lan.

In addition, Lankis was smiling at a set of travel clothes for washing in her hand, Franklin was trying on a pair of gloves with exposed fingers (his model must be specially made), Feitan was playing with a silver-gray lighter, and when it was lit, ghostly The blue flame shot out nearly ten centimeters.

I walked to the middle of Madge and Feitan, and Madge next to her was carefully looking at a beautifully embroidered scarf, and Parker next to her... Parker had a dark pistol in his hand. What a guy.

On my seat, there was a large half-deflated backpack.I couldn't wait to open it, and the first thing I saw was a hardcover tome a few centimeters thick... I took it out and saw the big gold characters on the dark blue hard cover - "Stories from the Bible".I was a little speechless, not sure whether it was for Kuroro or mine, so I had to put it aside and continue to scroll down.

In the end, there were a total of things in the bag: a box of delicately packaged chocolates, a jar of vitamin C tablets, two sets of portable toiletry and travel kits similar to those in Lankisi's hands, a small tool bag, a heavy cloth bag, and a bag of clothes.

I opened the kit, which contained nail clippers and the necessary medicines.

That heavy and bulging cloth bag, when you open it, you can see that it is full of precious stones of various colors.This... is probably the hard currency that will be used later?I guess.

As for the bag of clothes, thank God I didn’t try to save trouble and take it out to see—except for the two outermost jackets, there was actually a full bag of change underwear inside, both mine and Kuroro’s!

This... really is prepared for myself in the future, what a life, how caring!

I held the chocolate in one hand, grabbed the cold and hard gemstones in the other, and touched the delicate gilding dents on the hardcover book from time to time. I sat on the sofa with my backpack full of things in my arms, and I was very happy.

I love receiving gifts!

"Lydia, thank you. I like the gift very much." March stroked the scarf in his hand and said to me.The scarf is made of cloth, which looks quite durable and durable, but the pattern on it is exquisite and beautiful - Marge has liked similar embroidery techniques since he was a child, and even the mind technique is made of silk thread.

I froze, waved my hand embarrassedly and said, "This...just as long as you like it!"

Alas, this is a gift from my future self.Thank you... It's true, but weird.

Fortunately, Madge spoke in a low voice, and the others were too busy to notice us.

I stuffed my and Kuroro's things on the sofa back into the backpack, put the backpack aside, and looked around at the busy people around me. Under the bright lights, I felt tired and drowsy.

I rubbed my eyes, tilted my body, leaned on Ma Qi's shoulder like a boneless one, and asked lazily, "Ma Qi, what did you just say? Where are we going after that?"

"I don't know, Kuroro hasn't said yet." March said, "Lydia, are you sleepy?"

"It's okay." I said slowly, "It's late now."

"Go to sleep when you're sleepy." Fei Tan said while playing with the lighter "chacha" without raising his head.

"I'm still waiting for the meeting," I insisted.

"Your opinion is not important." Fei Tan said bluntly.

I opened my mouth to refute, but felt really tired and flustered, so in the end I just hummed in a low voice as my answer.

"Pike, Maggie, Lydia, do you want some snacks?" Yan excitedly handed us an opened bag of puffed food, and warmly invited.

"Ah, thank you." I sat up a little bit, picked one from the open pocket and stuffed it into my mouth, crunching it, it tasted like chocolate sandwich.

"Ku Luoluo's friend is so generous! I have never eaten so much delicious food!" Yan was very happy, and said to us in a crisp voice.

"Speaking of which, Lydia, I would also like to thank you for asking the pastor to let us go. I was saved by you and Kuroro again. Really, Yan and I have nothing to repay." Lan stood behind her sister , said to me.

"What's the matter? Don't worry about it, we are all companions." I was so sleepy that I didn't have much energy, so I said frankly.It's really not easy for Lan to be a person, she is cautious and thoughtful, no wonder it's not easy to take her sister all the way across the country.

But before my eyelids drooped, I saw Yan's excited expression froze on his face, and I had the urge to sigh again—to be honest, I already felt that for a person with Yan's character, you owe her, and she can speak heartily. Don't mind it, but if she owes you, the relationship will be awkward instead.

A little troublesome.

"what happened?"

It's Chrollo who's back.He threw his backpack on the ground and sat down in the empty seat beside me. He probably saw my listless look and asked first.

"I'm sleepy." I said lazily, moving from Marge's shoulder to his, rolling my face back and forth on his shoulder with my eyes closed.

"Okay, let's make a long story short." Kuroro moved an arm around me, making me lean more comfortably, and said at the same time.

"People from the Black Dragon Society died in our camp. The original area must not stay. Now the corpses outside here are only temporarily disposed of. We will leave early tomorrow morning."

Under the gaze of everyone, Kuroro said, "In the future, we will definitely be in the second district. As for where to go, what's your opinion?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and said one after another: "Whatever you want." "Listen to you." "I have no objection."

After all of us, including Franklin, had expressed their views, Lan Qisi said softly: "Since the Black Dragon Society's territory can no longer be stayed, I suggest that we can go to the Red Eagle Society's territory."

"Do you have a specific place to go?" Kuroro asked.

"Yes. I know a senior member of the Red Eagle Club. When he gets there, he will arrange to contact the elders in my family." Lan Qi said frankly, "Of course, for you, the Red Eagle Club is indeed a good choice. "

"The Red Eagle Club is very powerful, and its management is stricter than that of the Black Dragon Club. Therefore, in the area they control, the order and living conditions are better than here. Of course, it is also difficult for new teams to join, but I can help introduce this .”

"The so-called strict management...then how much freedom do we have?" Franklin asked cautiously.

"Do you want us to obey their orders?" Fei Tan also asked.

"The organizational mechanism of the Red Eagle Club is like this." Lan Qisi calmly explained, "However, based on your strength, you are enough to be assigned to a certain branch of special forces, so that you will have greater freedom, not only can you maintain the current There are small groups, and they can choose their own tasks, similar to the mercenary system."

"What if we were to leave Red Hawk?" Lan asked.

"I can only fight for the greatest freedom within the Red Eagle Society for you. As for leaving..." Lanqisi's brilliant blue eyes looked at Kuroro: "That will only work if you are strong enough."

This is not difficult to understand.All the order in the second district is based on strength.Considering these things now is only temporary. When we are really strong enough, we can tear up all the rules.

"Yes." Kuroro nodded, "If there is no objection, we will go to the site of the Red Eagle Club."

After deciding where to go, it was getting late at night, and everyone was going to bed.

Dividing the sleeping area was another flurry of nonsense.

There is only one bedroom and only one bed.In this case, there are two allocation methods: either be modest and let the girls sleep on the bed; or be more realistic and let the strongest sleep on the bed.

"Let Lydia sleep on the bed." Unexpectedly, Franklin was the first to say.

At this time, I was already drowsy in Kuroro's arms. When I was mentioned, I managed to open my eyes and said, "I don't care, I want to sleep with Kuroro!"

I shrank into Kuroro's warm embrace again, it really doesn't matter if I sleep on the bed or not - all of you on Meteor Street can fall asleep in any corner?

But everyone agreed to let me go.I'm really sorry, but Pike gave a reason: "If it wasn't for that...we wouldn't be able to live here. We still got Lydia's favor."

Distribution continues.

If I sleep on the bed, Franklin and Lan, who are ranked according to their strength, cannot sleep on the bed, and neither can Lankis, who has a special status and is more like a guest.In this way, it seems that the Feitan bed, whose strength is between Franklin and Lan, is not suitable.

Afterwards, Franklin and Feitan had a small-scale PK, and decided that Feitan would sleep on the sofa and Franklin would sleep on the dining table.To be honest, I don't think it's determined by strength, but by body shape... Lanqisi took the initiative to say that he sleeps in a corner opposite the sofa in the living room, and made a bed with several dining chairs.

Kurolo, who was bound to me, me, the youngest Maggie, and Pike slept on the bed.

As for the Lanyan brothers and sisters, there is no way, Lan can't beat Franklin and Feitan, and his status is not as aloof as Lankis, and Yan doesn't have the ability of Madge and Pike, so he has to feel wronged and sleep on the wooden floor in the bedroom.

Lying on the long-lost soft mattress with fluffy down pillows, I just feel heavy and comfortable like in a dream.What's more, Kuroro was sleeping next to me, and I squeezed into his arms, clinging to his gently rising and falling chest, feeling extremely satisfied.

The quilt was handed over to Lan Yan brothers and sisters to spread on the floor, and Ku Luoluo and I were covered with the coat left by Big Ku Luoluo.The heavy coat is enough to cover the two of us, like a black sleeping bag, and there are soft white fur around the neck, which is warm and practical - so happy!

"Kurolo... I'm asleep, good night." I rubbed against his arms, let Kuroro hug my waist, and murmured with satisfaction, my eyes had already been closed.

One second before entering the dream, the last thing I remember was Kuroro's reply in his ear: "Go to sleep. Good night."

I know I'm having a nightmare.

The pastor's fanatical face was constantly enlarged before my eyes, and the golden scepter was thrown at me, and the call of "My God!" and "My God!" echoed throughout the world.The world was spinning and shrinking before my eyes, and I curled up in place with my head in my arms, dizzy and terrified, with nowhere to escape.

Consciousness forced me to wake up, I opened my eyes in a trance, and immediately saw the priest's stiff and bleeding claws stretched forward, thousands of swords falling, the only difference in the dazzling silver light was the priest's bloody and inhuman corpse.Those bright light brown eyes looked at me scorchingly, and kept saying: You can't escape, you can't escape...

I was so frightened that I screamed desperately, but I couldn't make any sound from my throat. I seemed to be struggling, but I was firmly bound in place, and my body seemed to be extremely heavy!The adult Kuroro's gentle and sad expression is broken like ripples. The man with platinum blonde hair has a pair of green eyes that look like weeping, reflecting the distorted and resentful face of a woman with bleeding eyes. That is Saiqila...

Don't, don't, it has nothing to do with me!I screamed in my heart, still terribly dumb, a giant hand condensed in mid-air, grasping towards me fiercely and precisely, it was the fate that ruled over me in the dark...

"Lydia!"

In Kuroro's cry, I suddenly opened my eyes, facing his frowning face.Kuroro hangs above me, with a heavy hand on my shoulder, where the sharp pain is the key to waking me up.

Facing my terrified eyes, Kuroro's frown relaxed, as if he breathed a sigh of relief.He asked in a low voice, "Did you have a nightmare?"

While looking at his face greedily, I was gasping for breath, as if someone who had just drowned was still immersed in the fear brought about by the previous chaotic dream, unable to answer his words.

"It's okay." Kuroro lowered his body and hugged me into his arms, rubbed his forehead against my sweaty forehead, patted my back with one hand, and comforted me gently and skillfully: "It's okay, don't be afraid .”

The frequency of his slapping on my back gradually converged with my heartbeat, and I gradually stabilized my heartbeat and calmed down in his soothing rhythm.I, I'm having nightmares again, which hasn't happened in a long time.

I closed my eyes in Kuroro's arms, the chaotic dream was almost impossible to recall completely, only the helpless fear and despair still lingered in my heart.The only thing I can remember is that I shouldn't have been able to scream before.This makes me feel a little lucky, because at least I won't disturb other people.

"Are you okay? Just now..." Behind me, Ma Qi whispered, her voice was sober.

"It's okay." Kuroro affirmed.

I hugged Kuroro with my nearly collapsed hand, my throat tightened, and I whispered with difficulty: "Did I disturb you just now? I'm sorry..."

"No." Kuroro comforted me calmly, "You just fell asleep not long ago, and we haven't slept yet."

"Lydia, we're waiting in line to take a shower." Madge whispered behind her.

I was taken aback, and then realized that the entire bedroom was dimly lit, the headlights were turned off, but there was a faint light from the small window in the bathroom, which allowed me to see Kuroro's face clearly.You can also hear the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom, obviously someone is using the shower.

"Oh..." I replied in a trance, feeling like it had been a long time in my dream.

Kuroro hugged me and turned on my side, let me lie back on the pillow, and asked, "Are you going to sleep?"

"...Mmm." I replied, but actually my eyes were wide open and I was in a daze. My gaze fell across his side face to the ceiling in vain, and I didn't dare to fall asleep for a while.

After lying down for a while, until the hot sweat on my head cooled down, I found that Kuroro was still asleep, so I asked out of words: "Kuroro, aren't you going to sleep?"

He didn't have to wait for a shower.

"Well, I can't sleep a little bit." Kuroro replied softly.

"Why?" I moved to get closer to him.

"It's nothing." Kuroro said perfunctorily, and patted me again: "Don't dare to sleep?"

"No." I whispered sullenly, buried my head on the side of his face, and closed my eyes in the darkness: "I'm going to bed now. You go to bed early too."

"I'll go to sleep after they're all washed, how can I sleep by walking around?" Kuroro whispered, "Go to sleep first."

I arched again: "Hold tighter."

"Hold too tightly and it's easy to have nightmares." Kuroro said with experience, raised one hand and started patting my back rhythmically: "Okay, just sleep like this. Hurry up."

I calmed down obediently, accompanied by rhythmic pats on my back, and soon fell asleep again.

When I woke up this time, it was dawn.

When I opened my eyes for the first time, the sky was bright, but Kuroro was still asleep, breathing lightly on my forehead, rhythmically.I didn't dare to move for fear of waking him up, so I kept my ears open to listen. Without other people's voices, I knew that everyone was still asleep.

I don't know what time they went to bed last night, they haven't woken up until dawn.

I closed my eyes and fell into a light sleep for a while. I was awakened by rustling noises outside, and then I heard Feitan and Franklin's voices weakened through the bedroom door, and Lankis seemed to join in.Afterwards, Lan, who was sleeping on the floor of the bedroom, got up and walked out lightly.

At this time, Kuroro's hand on my body moved, his breathing rhythm changed, and he woke up.He let me go and sat up on the bed.I lay on the pillow with my eyes open, and saw him groping and pressing the raised hair on the back of his head twice.

Kuroro's hair was very stiff, and as soon as he moved his hand away, that bunch of dull hair immediately curled back into the distance.I let out a silent snort.

"Are you awake?" He turned his head to meet my eyes and whispered, with a muffled sleepiness in his throat.

I smiled and blinked.

Being in an unsafe environment for a long time, everyone sleeps very lightly.At this moment, Ma Qi and Pike woke up one after another and sat up from the bed.I didn't hold back anymore, and sat up vigorously, just in time to see Yan rubbing his eyes at the foot of the bed, rubbing his eyes and getting up.

A new day begins.

With the gift Kuroro brought from the future, everyone had a good morning wash.After washing up, for breakfast, I searched the inventory of the original owner in the kitchen and had a delicious meal.

After that, we gathered all the useful things we found in the cabin, and then dispersed, looking for food to take away in the sheds on both sides.

The hundred or so corpses in the shed still looked like they had fallen asleep, and their bodies were covered with a layer of half-melted ice—that was obviously Kuroro's thousand-mile ice seal.Even with the ice, after a night, there is still a foul, disgusting smell in the shed, but it is very faint.

Walking carefully among the corpses, and sometimes even reaching out to search for them, this is really a big challenge for my sensitive nerves.However, it is not as difficult as imagined to really bite the bullet and do it.Probably because he didn't have the blessing of words, so he felt that he didn't have the capital to be too coddled.Besides, the dark valley full of corpses forcibly reversed my morbid fear of corpses in a very brutal way.

Perhaps because of the blessing of the stench, everyone's hands and feet were very nimble. Within a quarter of an hour, the nine people reunited in the wooden house, and the collected water and food piled up into a hill.Then, several small and large plastic bags and a large backpack brought back by Kuroro came in handy.All things were reasonably divided into nine points, and everyone took their own, big and small bags, as if they were about to flee.

All ready to go.

"Bringing so many things will affect the speed." Feitan protested.

"Indeed, can't we just grab these food on the way?" Franklin also asked.

"It's... more things than less things, it's better to be prepared." Lan laughed.

"Actually, we're not in a hurry, right?" Pike asked hesitantly.

"Nothing else." March said.

"Hey, isn't that just like an outing!" I said excitedly.

"What is an outing?" Yan asked.

"Just walk slowly." Lankis smiled.

"Take your own things well, and throw them away if you don't want to take them." Kurolo said, who was immersed in studying the map.

He put away the map and gave an order: "Let's go."

A new journey begins.

The author has something to say: go to the new instance, the last one before the formation of the brigade.
