Chapter 233 The Cursed Apprentice
Chapter 233 The Cursed Apprentice
Many people in the valley raised their heads, their eyes no longer completely empty.
Something called belief is slowly growing.
Tashan was the first to break the silence.
He let out a heavy "hey," and his rock-like fist slammed into his thick chest with a dull thud.
"Old Fu is right! When will this escape end? We need to carve out a place for ourselves with our own hands, so that the monsters won't dare to come! So that the young can grow up properly, and the old can retire peacefully... tsk tsk... that's what life is all about!"
Seemingly recalling the time before the apocalypse, Tashan's eyes were filled with nostalgia. It was a pity that he would never have the chance to drink with his brothers again.
Several ordinary people leaning against the bus looked at each other; some had wiped away their tears, while others had regained their spirits.
Jiang Li witnessed the entire scene.
Before this, she also thought about living one day at a time.
But today she has a different belief in her heart.
Su Su had already stood up straight again at some point. Her cool gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Fu Xiaojian. She nodded slightly, her eyes showing unmistakable approval.
Chen Pei and Tang Jinxiu also got out of the RV.
Tang Jinxiu's face was a little pale, but her eyes were brighter than before.
Xu Si saw a unique charm in her.
She seems to be slowly accepting her own sequence.
Xiao Luo sniffed, his eyes stinging. He always felt that he hadn't tried hard enough.
Li Miao patted his shoulder, and the mist surrounding him seemed to thin out a bit, revealing a slightly tired but genuine smile.
Jiao Jiao stood up from beside the truck, rubbed her still slightly red and swollen eyes, and quickly walked to the big pot to serve herself a bowl of soup.
"I'm eating, I'm eating! I'm eating big mouthfuls!" Unlike her usual chatter, she simply held the bowl and drank heartily, demonstrating her attitude through her actions.
DouDou hugged the vortex shell tightly in her arms, and DouBao, KaoChang, and WeiFuZi also gathered around.
Several small figures huddled together, and something called "responsibility" or "hope" was quietly sprouting in their tender hearts.
Xu Si drank the freshly boiled water, leaned against the cold, menacing car body, and looked at the convoy that had come back to life, his thoughts unreadable.
Perhaps even Fu Xiaojian wasn't sure if what he said could actually come true.
But Xu Si wanted to make it happen!
Not for any other reason than to give children younger than her own sister a chance to grow up.
It sounds like a fantasy, yet it's inexplicably... alluring.
Xu Si recalled the "Seed of Life" that was slowly taking shape in his dimensional space; he thought of Niu Niu's planting cavity and the combination of the [Time Badge]; he thought of the crows on high alert; he thought of the sequence extraordinary beings in the convoy who were gradually growing up.
Perhaps... we really should give it a try?
No longer an endless escape and passive response, but an active planning, construction, and protection of a pure land that belongs to them.
Once the thought took hold, it became surprisingly difficult to suppress.
Instantly, the hot water in his hand emitted a chilling aura.
Haha, I actually got excited.
He tilted his head back and drank the water in the glass in one gulp. The icy liquid slid down his throat, instantly clearing his mind.
The night outside was hazy; the night was long, and so was the road.
But the campfire is still burning, and people are still gathered here.
A seed has been planted tonight, regardless of whether it will sprout or grow.
But at least tonight, in this sheltered mountain valley, this convoy named "Torch" is here.
For the first time, we're really starting to talk about "staying" instead of just "leaving."
Xu Si withdrew his gaze and looked at the Seed of Life in the passenger seat, which was enveloped by an invisible force field and was slowly transforming.
Twelve hours...
It's still early; the answer will be revealed tomorrow.
The mountain wind howled outside the valley, and the campfire burned silently.
"Mr. Xu, wait!" Just as Xu Si was about to go back, Wang Hu called out to him.
Upon seeing what was in his hand, Xu Si knew his purpose.
"This is the strange drop that was owed to Mr. Xu before!"
Wang Hu held something in each hand, and the one he handed to Xu Si with his right hand was something that looked like an eyeball.
Xu Si was very familiar with this thing; it was the eyeballs on the tops of those vines.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. And what's this?" Xu Si reached out and took it, then asked.
Because Wang Hu was holding something in his left hand, which was a clump of green liquid in a bottle.
"This is also a strange drop—Ground Vine Juice," Wang Hu said somewhat embarrassedly.
"I know, that's what you want?" Xu Si asked.
"I want to get an awakening potion for Yao Yao too!" Wang Hu suddenly became a little reserved.
After all, he had just paid off his debts, and now he was asking for the awakening potion again. It felt like he wasn't satisfied with taking advantage of him.
Xu Si frowned.
He could exchange them, because he had two more potion materials: one was the [Gun Master Sequence Awakening Potion], and the other was the [Cursed Apprentice Sequence Awakening Potion].
He always felt that neither of these positions was quite suitable for the little girl. Needless to say, the gun master was definitely in the order of charging into battle.
That leaves only the Cursed Apprentice as an option.
Seeing Xu Si frown, Wang Hu couldn't help but feel nervous. He thought that his greed had offended Xu Si.
This made him regret his recklessness.
With his skill in forging rare items, he can accumulate more loot, and that might be a good time to acquire them.
But while he could wait, the little girl couldn't!
The casualties suffered by the team today serve as a constant reminder to him.
That's why he didn't refuse the item from Tashan.
"Can!"
Xu Si made his decision without much consideration, because he sensed Yi Yi's desire for the juice.
As for whether Yao Yao can adapt to the [Cursed Apprentice] sequence.
A child with a clear mind is always better than an adult with a complicated mind!
"Thank you! Thank you!" Wang Hu thanked him repeatedly, his voice trembling with emotion.
Perhaps he had been waiting for this day for far too long.
Sitting in the driver's seat of the 'Nirvana', watching Wang Hu's departing figure with the potion, Xu Si was somewhat dazed.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses and looked at the two strange items that Wang Hu had just given him.
She held the bottle of [Gynura divaricata juice] in her arms and struggled to unscrew the cap, but she couldn't muster much strength and hadn't managed to open it after so long.
Xu Si couldn't stand it and took it directly, making the little guy cry anxiously.
"Here you go!" Xu Si didn't even look at its attributes, unscrewed the cap, and handed it directly to the little guy.
It's not easy for me to have something I value for the first time, so I'm willing to part with this little bit of my possessions.
The little one, "Yi Yi," was very polite, and smiled broadly.
Then, something happened that left Xu Si dumbfounded.
