Hunter's Mercy from now on

In the next few days, the two chatted while driving, and gradually lost the unfamiliarity and cautiousness when they first met, and got along more harmoniously. With a gentle look.

"You still like reading books as always!" Lexie, who just woke up, rubbed his eyes sleepily, took the bread from Sawyer sleepily, and gnawed on it.

"If you are very tired, you can take a rest. We don't have to hurry." Sawyer, who quickly finished reading another travel note, put down the book in his hand and said, looking at Lai Xi who was yawning in a daze.His eyes lingered on Lexie's blue hair, which had gradually darkened over the years, for a second or two, and then moved away without a trace.

"No, it will be fine in a while." Laixi quickly swallowed the bread, stood up and jumped a few times, and turned a few somersaults along the way, and finally drove away the sleepy bugs in her body a little, before she continued to ask asked, "Do you still need to collect water and food?"

Since they had to go through a desert to get out of Meteor Street, Lai Xi and Sawyer kept going at a moderate speed these days, so that they could collect more necessary items on the way.

"The more water, the better. You can take some more along the way. The other things are almost ready." Sawyer took out a book from the pile of books beside him, flipped through it casually, and said, " Take a break, we can start to speed up for the rest of the journey."

"Are you sure you don't need to bring more books? I feel that you will be troubled if you don't have any books to read."

"No, bringing it over will only add burden and cause unnecessary trouble." Sawyer paused for a few seconds and continued, "What's more, sometimes reality is much more interesting than books."

"The knowledge learned from books is just used to live better in reality. To me, this is the meaning of reading. What about you?" Lexi tilted his head and looked at the thick stack of books beside Sawyer , asked a little curiously.

"For me before, reading was my interest, hobby, and the only way for me to understand the outside world." Sawyer flipped through the paper in his hand unhurriedly. His voice was not loud, but he made Lai Xi felt worried, "But later, reading has a different meaning—sometimes only by reading can I calm down."

At that time, Lexi didn't understand the meaning of Sawyer's words, but she didn't continue to ask, because if she continued to ask, she might touch some things, and she wasn't sure if Sawyer wanted to mention those things.

Perhaps it was due to the increase in luck after forming a team with Sawyer. After traveling for several days, they had already stepped into the hinterland of the desert, but they still didn't encounter the so-called experimental product X's pursuit.Of course, the two did not relax their vigilance because of this. Instead, they paid more attention to maintaining the best condition at all times. Naturally, there will be no threat in the desert, and the further they go, the more they cannot relax. After all, the rings in the hands of the two are still in good condition. This hunt is not destined to end easily.

However, what Laxie didn't expect was that although Sawyer had encountered the last group of survivors as predicted, she would rather not have encountered them, yes, the other party was an acquaintance—she didn't know how to deal with it acquaintance.

"Hi."

"Why are you here..." Galek looked at Lexi who suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief, but when he saw the familiar ring in the opponent's hand, his pupils shrank slightly, and he gritted his teeth and muttered, "hateful……"

"It's a long story, so I won't talk about it." Lexi said, "In short, my companion and I are currently being hunted down by a creature called Experiment X. How are you... and Ilica?"

She took a complicated look at the similar ring in Galek's hand, feeling a little uncomfortable.To be honest, she still hoped that the two of them were not in danger, but it was impossible to think about the situation at the time. Although she was a little wronged and angry when she was abandoned at first, it was actually easy to figure out when she calmed down - she didn't want to hurt her That's all.

The opponent this time is probably really difficult to deal with.

"We are being hunted down by the experimental subject Y." Garlek rubbed the center of his brows, and when he opened his eyes again, he regained his usual calmness, "This is not a place to talk, you guys follow me first."

On the way, Lexi briefly introduced Ilica to Sawyer, and then remained silent.Frankly speaking, at this moment, she didn't feel any joy of reuniting with her old friend, but instead had a vague sense of uneasiness, and soon, her uneasiness was confirmed——

The situation in Ilica is dire.

Lexi couldn't connect the downcast guy in front of her with the "big sister" who was always in good spirits in the past. Her left eye was wrapped in a thick bandage, and although her right eye remained red, it seemed to lose its luster. The ruby ​​in her hand was unbelievably dim, with many scars on her body, each of which was shocking, but the most unacceptable thing was that her left cuff was empty at the moment, in other words, her left hand was gone.

But when she saw Laixi, her eyes lit up instead, and she stretched out her remaining right hand and rubbed the blue hair on Laixi's head with a smile to show her welcome.

"Idiot, don't keep touching other people's heads!" Galek next to him glanced at Lai Xi who was standing there, frowning awkwardly.

"I know, I know, it's been a long time since I saw you, and I felt a little itchy." Ilica turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Galek, and squeezed Lai Xi's face with a smile, "You're back to your senses, Lai Xi."

"...Your injury can be cured if you go out." Laixi said sullenly.

"Naturally, I might ask Laixi to ask you!" Ilica raised the corners of her lips in a good mood, "but the premise is to escape."

Lexi glanced at the bright ring on Ilica's right hand, and for the first time felt a feeling of not knowing whether to be lucky or a pain in the ass. It's a bit hard to say whether he was lucky or unlucky when he met a bunch of old friends during the assessment. .

"As far as we know so far, these experimental products used to be people with good aptitude but cumbersome mental ability. It’s not easy to deal with people who are not weaker than those with powerful thoughts.” Ilica glanced at Laixi and continued, “But we have been in that organization for a long time anyway, and some inside stories are still clear. The underground street will always be They only appear in the 'underground', so they won't leave Meteor Street easily, which is why we are going outside, in fact, the best result is that we can really escape from Meteor Street."

"Is there no other way? At present, it seems that the possibility of the experimental product appearing is very high."

"If we really encounter it, we can only fight to the death..." Ilica laughed at himself, and then said with some difficulty, "That is a terrible organization. I became what I am now, thanks to them. Give."

"..."

"Not necessarily." Sawyer, who had been thinking about something with his head down, suddenly said, "There will never be only one method. Maybe when that time really comes, the method will suddenly appear."

"Anyway, let's face it together." After Kuku said this, Galek left without looking back.

Laixi watched Galek's back gradually going away, and inexplicably felt that the other's words were actually consoling (?), so she twitched the corners of her mouth: "Well, let's face it together."

Sawyer glanced thoughtfully at Galek who was going away, and asked lightly, "When will we continue on our way?"

Lexi: "..."

Ilica: "..."

After a suspicious silence.

"We'll talk about that bastard when he comes back." Ilica smiled awkwardly.

Although a temporary cooperative relationship has been reached, neither Ilica, Galek, nor Sawyer are the kind of people who will surrender their trust quickly. No matter what, they will know for themselves.

For example, on the issue of vigil——

Sawyer: "My schedule is closer to hers."

Galek: "It's better to have one in a group in different situations."

Sawyer: "We have a better understanding."

Galek: "Our tacit understanding is not bad, she even ate my cooking."

Sawyer: "I know all about her interests."

Galek: "That's fine, I can follow up."

Sawyer: "&%[email protected]#"

Galek: "@#%^6%"

Laixi (headache and forehead): "That's enough, I'll be with Ilica."

Of course, in fact, there are relatively few "discord" situations between them, perhaps because of the critical situation they are about to face, or because they simply don't want to embarrass Lexi, who is the middle link, and they have cooperated well along the way. The word tacit understanding.

However, sometimes conflicts are often just a lack of a fuse, and once they are all gathered, they will explode at the touch of a button.

When Lexi learned from Ilica that the two experimental subjects were likely to appear together at noon tomorrow, she was stunned for a moment.She didn't ask how Ilica knew, or why Ilica told her away from Sawyer and Galek alone, she just asked, "How long before I can leave Meteor Street?"

"It will take tomorrow night to continue at this pace."

"What's the plan?"

"Let's act separately first, notify the other two earlier, and try to leave as soon as possible."

"……it is good."

·

After listening to Lai Xi's words, Sawyer said lightly: "She lied to you."

"..."

"Experimental X will arrive at noon tomorrow, so it's hard to say about Experimental Y." Sawyer explained with drooping eyebrows, "And, no matter how you look at it, there is still a chance of cooperation, and separation is a dead end, for them."

"Is there any other way?"

"No. Ability is not at the same level, sacrifice is doomed."

"You go first... I want to stay."

"It's useless, Lexi. If the force value of the experimental product is 10, each of the four of us will be 6 at best." Sawyer said calmly, and he slowly removed the long sleeves that he had never touched these days. Tie it up, revealing a clean wrist full of mechanical parts, "As for why I know, it's probably because I exist as a failed experiment."

"This is a struggle that is destined to fail. How do you choose? Lexi." Finally, he showed a gentle smile, "But no matter what it is, I will accompany you."

The author has something to say: because there is no manuscript saved, there is still no preview of the next episode QAQ
