The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1158 It’s not like that

Late at night, Snake Gate.

After Gao Yang finished handling everything for today, he returned to the dormitory to rest.

When passing by Dead Pig's dormitory, the door suddenly opened and Bailiyi walked out.

Gao Yang was not surprised. Bailiyi had promised to talk to Dead Pig specifically about Ba Qiuchi, and it seemed that the conversation was over now.

"Do you want the diary back?" Gao Yang asked.

Bailiyi nodded: "Well, I plan to go back after having a cup of coffee."

Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, "Did you tell the dead pig about the cute sheep?"

Bailiyi smiled and said nothing.

Gao Yang had the answer in his heart. He hesitated for two seconds and asked, "I learned this secret from Liu Qingqing. Can I tell the dead pig?"

"This is your freedom." Bailiyi said.

"I understand." Gao Yang nodded.

"How have you considered what you wanted to tell me before?" Bailiyi asked.

"I thought about it and decided to wait until we win the final battle." Gao Yang said, "After all, if we don't win, everything is meaningless."

Bailiyi smiled as expected, "Okay, then we'll wait for your triumphant return."

"Is this a blessing or a prophecy?" Gao Yang asked.

Bailiyi smiled: "I hope it's a prophecy."

Bailiyi quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Gao Yang was not in a hurry to leave. He leaned against the wall and stood outside the door of the Dead Pig Dormitory, thinking quietly.

At some point, Qing Ling appeared. She was wearing training clothes, her face was covered with sweat, and she had a towel to wipe her sweat on her shoulders. There were no scars on her body. It looked like she had just finished training, or to be precise, she had just "abused" someone. .

Qing Ling frowned slightly when she saw Gao Yang: "What are you doing here?"

Then Qing Ling looked at the house number - it was Dead Pig's dormitory. Gao Yang had only told Qing Ling the secret of the cute sheep. Qing Ling immediately guessed: "Are you going to tell Dead Pig?"

Gao Yang raised his head with a deep gaze: "What do you think?"

Qing Ling thought seriously for a few seconds, "If we say it now, the tactics may have to be readjusted."

Gao Yang understood what Qing Ling meant. The dead pig might no longer agree to the cute sheep going to the battlefield.

"But." Qing Ling changed her tone and said softly: "If you don't say it now, you may never have the chance."

There was a hint of bitterness on the corner of Gao Yang's mouth: "You didn't answer me at all, but you just repeated my inner struggle."

"Why should I answer you?" Qing Ling said confidently, "This is your choice, not mine."

Gao Yang was startled and already had the answer in his heart.

"Take a bath and sleep." Qing Ling said and walked away.

Gao Yang took a deep breath and knocked on the door behind him.

Soon, the door opened.

The dead pig was wearing oversized pajamas. He was as tall as a wall, blocking the door.

Maybe it was because he was injured after the last battle with Gluttony, or maybe it was just a lighting problem. He looked a little more haggard.

Dead Pig was a little surprised: "Captain Gao?"

"Damn pig, is it convenient for me to keep you for a few minutes?"

The dead pig stepped aside, "Please come in."

Gao Yang entered the room. The dormitory was clean and simple, with no extraneous furnishings.

Dead Pig pulled the only chair next to Gao Yang, "Sit down for a while and I'll pour you a cup of tea..."

"No need." Gao Yang didn't even move: "I can finish it in a few words."

Dead Pig turned around and looked at Gao Yang seriously. He had a vague feeling that the matter was important.

"Liu Qingqing left me a dream before she died, and also passed Baili Yi's diary to me." Gao Yang said.

"Well, Bailiyi also told me." Dead Pig said.

Gao Yang nodded: "But there is one thing that Bailiyi didn't tell you. Ba Qiuchi actually has a child."

Dead Pig was startled and thought he heard wrongly: "Child?!"

"Yes." Gao Yang added: "Your child."

The dead pig was dumbfounded. Suddenly, the past flashed back, and many doubts were connected together. It turned out that Ba Qiuchi wanted to divorce in the first place, and there was this reason.

The room suddenly became much quieter, and the only sound that could be heard was the heavy breathing of the dead pig.

After a long time, Dead Pig met Gao Yang's eyes again, mustered up the courage, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is that child...still alive?"

"Still alive, very healthy, very happy, and..." Gao Yang paused: "very brave."

Dead Pig opened his eyes in disbelief: "The child...is also awake?"

Gao Yang nodded: "Yes."

The dead pig's body shook, as if a bullet had hit his heart.

He staggered back two steps, his tall body shaky, and he reached out to hold on to the wall, forcing himself to stand firm.

The dead pig gasped for air, its eyes were red, and it looked both happy and painful. There was another long silence. During this period, Dead Pig started to speak but stopped talking several times. Finally, all emotions were suppressed, leaving only confusion: "Captain Gao, why did you tell me now?"

Gao Yang confessed: "I had a lot of worries before Bailiyi appeared. After he appeared, I was worried that the cause and effect would change. I'm sorry, I should have said it earlier."

"Then why are you telling me now?" As soon as Dead Pig asked, he already had the answer in his heart, "Captain Gao, do you want me to decide?"

Gao Yang nodded: "You are her real guardian. You can decide whether she goes to the battlefield."

The dead pig is silent.

After a long time passed, the dead pig raised its head again with a determined look: "That child has to go to the battlefield."

"Have you thought it through?" Gao Yang asked.

"She is very brave, as brave as her mother. This is the path they chose, and I have to respect it." Dead Pig clenched his fists: "I will definitely protect her. As long as I am still breathing, she will be fine. "

"No one can guarantee victory." Gao Yang said.

"Then she should fight with us." Dead Pig was determined: "If we lose, the child will not survive and will only die more lonely and desperate."

Gao Yang nodded: "I understand, the tactics remain unchanged."

Gao Yang left. As soon as he reached the door, Dead Pig still called out to Gao Yang: "Wait a minute."

Gao Yang turned around: "Is something wrong?"

"Minibus..." There was a hint of gentle timidity hidden in Dead Pig's hoarse voice, "Did you leave any words for me?"

Gao Yang tried his best to remember: "No."

"That's it." Dead Pig lowered his head and smiled as expected.

"However, I listened to Liu Qingqing's conversation with Ba Qiuchi in her dream, and you were mentioned in it," Gao Yang said.

The dead pig quickly raised his head and opened his eyes wide, as nervous as a child who was looking forward to the teacher's call to answer questions after careful review.

Gao Yang repeated his original words: "That kid doesn't look like Lao Zhu at all. Tell me, will he be happy or angry?"

Dead Pig was stunned and looked at Gao Yang blankly, but in fact he had already seen something in the distant past.

Gao Yang added: "That's all I heard."

After a while, the dead pig came to his senses and nodded: "Thank you."

Gao Yang's heart stung slightly:

It's strange that so many people said thank you to him today.

Why should you thank him?

He obviously didn't help much. He was just a witness who couldn't tell whether it was good or bad luck. He caught up with all the excitement, but couldn't keep any laughter.

After Gao Yang left, Dead Pig still stood there in trance.

I don't know how much time passed before he returned to the bed and sat down slumped.

He opened the photo album on his mobile phone and found the photo of the last time he celebrated his birthday with Cute Sheep. Tengu and White Rabbit were still there at that time, and the four of them took a group photo together in the amusement park.

The cute sheep was wearing a festive red cotton-padded jacket, with her hair tied in a bun, holding a marshmallow in her hand, and her face was red. She was sitting on the dead pig's shoulders, her eyes smiling like thin crescents.

Tengu and White Rabbit stood on both sides, posing in their own style. The person taking the photo was a horse.

The dead pig gently stretched out his thick fingers to enlarge the photo, and the cute sheep's smiling face also grew bigger.

The dead pig looked at it for a long time, smiled stupidly, and murmured to himself: "Indeed, it doesn't look like me... it's great... it doesn't look like me at all..."

A drop of hot tears fell on the phone screen.

"Oh, it's not like me... it looks like mother... the child looks like mother, that's great..."

The dead pig buried his head in his cell phone, laughing and crying at the same time.

……

……

On the evening of the 19th, Daxu District, Millennium Building.

The sunset is beautiful, the evening breeze is gentle, and the Ferris wheel on the roof stands quietly. From a distance, it looks like an eye opening above the city.

But if anyone stands at the foot of the Ferris wheel and looks up, it changes again. It is more like a gear set in the sky. This gear looks dilapidated and lonely under the bloody sunset, as if it indicates the direction of the world.

"brush--"

Qing Ling Yu Dao flew and landed at the foot of the Ferris wheel with Gao Yang.

Gao Yang found a conspicuous position, squatted down, put his hands on the ground, and activated [Time and Space Ghost].

Soon, a circular gray-blue aperture unfolded with Gao Yang as the center, and the pattern inside the aperture was an abstract hourglass.

This is a space teleportation point that lasts twelve hours.

Gaoyang has set up a total of twelve space teleportation points, scattered throughout the city. The space teleportation points can teleport to each other, but they are one-time and disappear after use. This is Gao Yang's current limit.

Seven combat teams have been scattered throughout the city, looking for traces of dead beasts and waiting for the arrival of the third hour of the Cang Jie.

Once anyone finds a dead beast, everyone will be notified, and each team will act according to the situation on the scene. If any team is far away from the target, they can rush there as soon as possible through a nearby teleportation point.

"All right."

Gao Yang finished the arrangement of the space transfer point.

"Where to go next?" Qing Ling asked.
