Accompany you to the end of the world

Chapter5

"We can get through this typhoon safely, thanks to you, Miss Lang."

The little girl Xi Na held the hands of her mother and sister, stood at the stairs of the abandoned building, and thanked Lang Chen.

Lang Chen nodded and smiled.Her dark pupils revealed a gentle and soft look, which made people feel amiable and lovely.

The little girl only took one look, with a shy yet energetic smile on her face.She looked into those eyes and whispered:

"And my younger sister Su, if your medicine hadn't saved her...Miss Langchen, our family will remember you."

"Then, Miss Langchen, goodbye!"

Lang Chen looked at the child, reached out and stroked Xina's blond hair lightly.

She waved her hand, nodded and said, "Go, the Lord... will bless you all."

In the mining city of Atlanta known as the "Location of the Holy Lord", this sentence is the most heartfelt blessing.

Lang Chen didn't believe in the so-called Holy Lord Ling Ri, and he had never seen this god open his eyes to protect his followers.

However, in such a predicament, people always need such sustenance and blessings, don't they?

As the typhoon left, many people left here and returned to the easternmost slums.

Many vagrants and beggars also need to go out to find a living. In just ten minutes, this abandoned building turned from overcrowded to empty.

Lang Chen pulled up the collar of the windbreaker, and followed behind these poor people calmly, watching these children leave safely—yes, she regarded them as "children" in her heart.

Including the little girl Xina, the middle-aged woman holding her daughter, in Lang Chen's heart, they are all young children.

Although Langchen looks only in her twenties, she has been in this cruel world for more than four centuries.

This period of time is too long, enough to turn countless ignorant and crying babies into dying old men, and turn young and beautiful girls into shocking bones.

Those who remained with her from the previous era and had the same beliefs have long since disappeared completely.

Only Lang Chen tenaciously guarded the belief of the alliance, and was paranoid in refusing to integrate into this fresh red moon era——

This tenacious heart allowed Lang Chen to survive year after year alone, guarding these unfortunate children of the post-epoch, so that they would have a better life.

The tenacity of her heart is as unyielding as her young and fresh face.

Yuemang City was built on the basis of the pre-epoch city, which has many disadvantages.

The typhoon caused the sea to flood many low floors, and the drainage system was not perfect——

On the streets at this moment, machines of all sizes and odd shapes are clearing and dredging the traffic arteries under the command of the Imperial Logistics Army.

Noisy roaring sounds one after another—the parts exposed outside the broken metal shell frictionally transmit torque and motion, Langchen can even clearly hear the sharp friction sound from time to time between the shaft body and the gear, and the balls in the bearing shaking rapidly...

The poor are constantly shuttling between the machines and the traffic, and from time to time, the curse of the imperial army sounds:

"Get out of the way! You stupid pariahs, don't go and throw you into the prison for obstructing public affairs!"

"Go away quickly! I am not responsible for being injured by a shovel machine..."

Babies among the poor were frightened and immediately burst into sharp cries.

The mothers didn't dare to stay longer, and quickened their pace with panicked faces.

They had long been used to being treated rudely and brutally, so naturally they didn't think about resisting and arguing—it was useless anyway.

Lang Chen walked last with his head down, expressionless.

Just as she was crossing the avenue, she heard a young male voice shouting:

"Hey! The lady in the black windbreaker!"

Lang Chen took two steps forward, avoiding the mechanical arm of a strange-looking shovel, stopped and looked straight.

It was a young sergeant.

While Lang Chen was looking at him, he was also looking at Lang Chen with a little arrogant curiosity.

Seeing that Lang Chen was still standing where he was, he strode over.

"Miss, please show your passport."

"Registration certificate" is the certificate used by the Red Moon Empire to distinguish the status of residents.

Lang Chen nodded, took out a cyan alloy small card from his jacket pocket, and handed it to the sergeant.

With just one glance at the small card, the sergeant's eyes changed from curiosity to arrogance and disdain.

With a cyan ID card, there is no doubt that the lady in front of me who is among the poor but dressed in simple clothes and behaves decently is an out-and-out "untouchable" status.

He glanced at the certificate again, and handed it back to Langchen.

Before leaving, he "kindly" warned Lang Chen: "When Typhoon No. [-] landed, some people took advantage of the fire to rob, destroying the monitoring of Hongyue West Road and robbing the pharmacy.

Ms. Lang, this is a normal routine inspection, I hope you will not hold grudges against the empire because of this..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a girl's sneer, her voice was as crisp as the sea breeze blowing over the wind chimes hanging on the lighthouse——

"Hmph, Mr. Sergeant, stop talking about such hypocrisy. If Miss Lang doesn't bother me, I'll be annoyed."

The sergeant was refuted face to face, and his face turned cold.

However, the moment he saw the person coming, his face was full of smiles.

Lang Chen followed the sound and looked.

Standing on the edge of the swinging arm of the machine, more than three meters above the ground, is a girl in a strong suit and a white helmet. Two tufts of red hair hang down on her chest from left to right, like blooming flowers.

Seeing Lang Chen looking over, the girl took off her helmet and put one hand around her waist.

Her conspicuous pair of red-haired twin ponytails immediately fluttered in the wind, Hu Xun grinned at Langchen and blinked his left eye.

It turned out to be the girl who witnessed her stealing the pharmacy on the night of the typhoon.

Lang Chen first noticed that there was a small cinnabar mole on Hu Xun's left eyelid.

meet again.

Lang Chen thought silently in his heart.But she didn't show any emotion, just smiled back politely.

In the first two meetings, Lang Chen was unable to give Hu Xun an accurate position:

She is a kind girl who saves people in the turbulent traffic but puts herself in danger; she is a neutral person who peeps at other people's theft in the rainy night but doesn't care——

So this time, in what capacity is she appearing?

Lang Chen quickly guessed.

Is it an upper-class person who is inextricably linked to the empire, or a good citizen who exposed Langchen's theft?

No, she doesn't look like a good citizen at all.

She is so conflicted.

The sergeant also doesn't know this domineering girl, but after serving in the empire for many years, he has his own unique skills of knowing people: no matter what this girl does, he has no right to stop her.

Hu Xun didn't even look at him, and said coldly:

"How long are you going to stay here, Mr. Sergeant?"

The sergeant's straight back seemed to have suddenly become shorter. He saluted Hu Xun upright, and then bowed to Lang Chen in apology:

"Miss, I'm sorry for taking up your time..."

He has long seen that the relationship between Miss Lang and Hu Xun is unusual——

At least the mysterious adult in front of him seemed to show special favor for Lang Chen.

Seeing the sergeant walk away quickly, Hu Xun lightly jumped off the robotic arm and landed lightly in front of Lang Chen.

"Meet you again, Miss Langchen."

Lang Chen looked down at her, but his usual gentleness and amiability were no longer in his eyes. She politely asked Hu Xun:

"Are you a... genetic warrior of the empire?"

Hu Xun nodded without hesitation.She never hid her outstanding abilities from Langchen, nor did she ever think about keeping secret that she was from the empire.

Hu Xun said quickly: "I helped you this time, how are you going to thank me?"

Lang Chen took two steps back, opening the distance between them.

She looked into Hu Xun's eyes and asked back, "What do you want?"
