The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1073 Good News and Bad News

Gao Xinxin put down the drawing board, got into the passenger seat, and put on her seat belt, "Where's my brother?"

"In Shilong Village." Wang Zikai looked mysterious: "I have good news to tell you."

"What?" Gao Xinxin blinked.

"Suzaku is awake."

"Really?!" Gao Xinxin was surprised and happy: "When?"

"Just this morning, your brother woke her up."

"How did he do it?" Gao Xinxin asked.

"Ahem! This involves internal secrets, so it's not convenient for me to tell you." In fact, Wang Zikai didn't know either.

"Let's go, take me to see her." Gao Xinxin said.

"It's inconvenient today. Suzaku is awake. They still have a lot of things to deal with. Don't rush now." Wang Zikai said.

"Yes." Gao Xinxin nodded, "Then take me home."

"Okay." Just as Wang Zikai was about to drive, he thought of something and took out a developed photo from his pocket: "Here is the photo you want."

Gao Xinxin took it and saw that it was a photo taken by Gao Yang of the four of them on New Year's Eve.

Gao Xinxin took a look at the photo and smiled in disgust: "No matter how many times I look at it, I still think it's ugly! I don't know how my brother took the photo."

"Then why do you still wash it?" Wang Zikai said.

"Because everyone is ugly, it's worth remembering haha." Gao Xinxin said, then looked at Chuxue in the photo: "Well, Chuxue is not ugly. That girl looks beautiful no matter how she takes the photo. I'm so envious."

The smile on Wang Zikai's lips froze and he stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Gao Xinxin immediately felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

"It's okay." Wang Zikai silently started the car.

"You've got 'I'm worried' written all over your face." Gao Xinxin rolled her eyes: "Say it quickly, don't tell me I'm getting off!"

"Gao Xinxin." Wang Zikai looked straight ahead, his profile looking a little sad: "Besides the good news, I actually have bad news."

Gao Xinxin's heart suddenly tightened, and she vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to think further.

"Chu Xue..." Wang Zikai's hands subconsciously clenched the steering wheel, "Chu Xue, Chu Xue..."

"What happened to Chuxue?" Gao Xinxin was anxious to death.

"I think so, it's just that I think..."

"Say it quickly!!"

"Chu Xue...maybe something happened." Wang Zikai finally said it.

Gao Xinxin was stunned for a while and then asked: "Why do you think so?"

"I don't know." Wang Zikai narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was so mature that it made people unfamiliar: "It's just an intuition."

"Stop being funny, your intuition may not be accurate." Gao Xinxin denied subconsciously.

Wang Zikai sighed: "Gao Yang said that Bai Lu took Chu Xue to travel around the world. Gao Yang also said that Chu Xue no longer writes letters and calls Gao Yang directly. Bai Lu can't trust anyone else, so he doesn't let Chu Xue talk to anyone other than Gao Yang. People talk.”

"What's the problem?" Gao Xinxin asked.

"I was not careful that day..." Wang Zikai paused, "I was really careless. I found that there was no Chuxue's number in Gao Yang's cell phone call records. Even the call records with Bai Lu were from before the Chinese New Year. .”

Gao Xinxin was speechless.

"And haven't you noticed? Gao Yang never took the initiative to talk to us about Chu Xue again. Sometimes when the topic was brought to her, Gao Yang would immediately change the subject."

Gao Xinxin's eyes were wet. In fact, she also noticed it, but she never dared to think about it.

Wang Zikai sighed again: "Last night, I was playing games with Gao Yang. He fell asleep on the sofa in the middle of the night. I found him crying, calling Chu Xue's name while crying..."

"do not talk……"

Gao Xinxin lowered his head and covered his face with force, his shoulders began to shake, and tears soon wetted his fingers.

Wang Zikai was also in a irritable mood. He accelerated the car and pressed the radio, letting the music drown out all the sounds around him.

The car drove faster and faster, and the bright and dark street lights flashed across their faces, as if they were traveling through a time tunnel.

Regarding Chuxue, the two of them had different memories of each other. Wang Zikai thought of playing games together, while Gao Xinxin thought of having a family reunion dinner together.

In the end, the memories of both of them were fixed on the smiling face in the photo of the four of them.

The silver-haired girl looked at the camera, pursed her lips and smiled. She was a little expectant, a little happy, a little shy, and a little nervous, like a person who is waiting quietly with a happy number in her hand but is worried that she will miss the number at any time.

……

Wang Zikai drove around the river and saw that Gao Xinxin's mood had calmed down, so he asked softly: "Are you hungry? Go get something to eat?"

"No, I want to go home and sleep." Gao Xinxin shook his head, his eyes were red and his nose was still a little blocked.

"Gao Xinxin, you must pretend not to know about this." Wang Zikai said.

"Ah."

"We must be happy and stop letting your brother worry, do you hear me?" Wang Zikai spoke like an elder. "Um."

"Tomorrow is your brother's birthday. It's still the original plan for the three of us to celebrate it." Wang Zikai asked.

"Ah."

"Where's the gift?" Wang Zikai asked.

"I'll go shopping tomorrow afternoon, and you'll pick me up in the evening." Gao Xinxin said.

"Okay, have you decided what to give?" Wang Zikai asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Gao Xinxin asked, "What about you?"

"I've been ready for a long time." Wang Zikai was very proud.

"What is it?"

"I won't tell you!" Wang Zikai looked mysterious: "You will know tomorrow, your brother will definitely like it!"

"As for your weird taste, it would be great if my brother didn't dislike it in person." Gao Xinxin steeled herself to complain.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Wang Zikai also got excited: "Do you dare to compete with me to see whose gift your brother likes better tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Gao Xinxin also became more enthusiastic, "The loser will buy a birthday cake!"

"You're going to lose! Get your cake money ready!"

"Dream you!"

……

9 am the next day.

Shilongzhai, old Xuanwu Building, conference hall on the first floor.

Meeting moderators, Gao Yang and Zhuque.

Meeting participants: Douhu, Qingling, Jiuhan, Chen Ying, Tengu, Zhang Wei, Dr. Jia, Yishi, Crow Shark, Keyou, Gregor.

These are all the awakened people currently in Li City except Meng Yang and Wang Weizhen.

In less than an hour, everyone had finished talking.

"That is to say..."

Douhu sat at the end of the long conference table, with his legs crossed on the table and a cigarette in his mouth. Just as he was about to take out the lighter, he met Suzaku's "death gaze" and immediately gave up lighting the fire and played with it in his hand. .

"In other words, if we figure out where the blood mist comes from, we may be the key to breaking the situation."

"This is Suzaku and I's speculation." Gao Yang said.

"Just because of a bad poem?" Gregor was writing a novel well at home, so he had to call him out to join the meeting. He was holding back his anger and couldn't speak in a hurry.

"This is not an ordinary poem, this is a poem written by the visitor." Suzaku half-joked.

Jiuhan was convinced: "Judging from the currently known information, Yun must have a lot of secrets. She was the one who cooperated with the beast Lin Yue to conceal the captain's identity as a divine heir."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's do it!" Zhang Wei is already eager to give it a try.

In the past two months, although everyone has been running around the world, there has been no substantial progress at all.

Unable to find the door, the Cangmu Cult, or other mysterious sites, but the end of the world is getting closer day by day. Everyone is inevitably anxious and even begins to waver: maybe Qilin is not alarmist, and the foggy world is a dead end with no way out.

Well now, new clues have finally emerged, which is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for everyone.

"Dr. Jia, what do you think?" Gao Yang looked at Dr. Jia.

Dr. Jia was a little abnormal today. After Gao Yang explained his interpretation of the poem, Dr. Jia fell silent. He lowered his head and started operating the smart board. He never participated in the discussion again. He didn't know what he was busy with.

"My idea," said Dr. Jia without raising his head, still operating the smart board, "is it better to just take a look at it if you have a theory of [-] sentences."

"That's easy to say." Douhu smiled: "But who knows where the source is?"

"What did you think I was doing just now?" Dr. Jia replied coldly.

"I'm going!" Zhang Wei shouted: "Dr. Jia, can you..."

"We have found the general range." Dr. Jia knocked the smart board hard and pushed it to the middle of the conference table, and everyone immediately came over.

Dr. Jia was quite convinced: "Actually, I wanted to find the Gate of Ending through the blood mist before, because Qilin said that the blood mist emerged from the Gate of Ending. Although it spread across all the isolated islands very quickly, It does appear from one direction first, so there must be a source.”

"At that time, I collected the time and direction of the appearance of blood mist on several isolated islands, combined these data to make a simple model, and finally concluded that the blood mist came from Licheng."

"Old Jia, why didn't you tell me about such an important thing before!" Douhu was very excited.

"Is it important?" Dr. Jia disagreed:

"I have lost too much important research. Besides, Li City has been searched all over, and there is no door at all. I think either my calculations were wrong, or the door is hidden in a special space, and only Qilin can reach it. , I also had many other research projects at the time, so I put this aside for now.”

"Now Qilin says that there is actually no gate to the end, but the blood mist does exist. I also think it is necessary to find out about this matter."

Dr. Jia pointed to a red dot on the map: "I just recalculated and narrowed the range a lot. It should be in this area."

Everyone looked at the little red dot and fell silent with different expressions.
