Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 60

Xuexian immediately took out the communicator and tried to communicate with the person on the other end.

"Hear, please tell me!" Xue Xian was a little excited, "Hello?"

The noise got louder.

The voice on the other end was even more blurred, Xuexian hurriedly climbed up to the attic, looking for a higher position, hoping that the signal would be better, worried that the communication would be interrupted, so he moved very quickly.

Fortunately, the voice on the other side soon became clear.

"His Royal Highness!" It was Moulton who was speaking, "Can you hear me, I am Moulton!"

Xuexian said loudly to the machine: "I heard it, Moulton. Have you arrived at the supply station?"

Moulton said that they had been at the supply station for two or three days, and it took him some time to repair the wireless communicator, so he only contacted Xue Xian now.Xue Xian was very happy for them, and asked, "How are everyone at the base?"

It took Moulton a few seconds to answer this time: "We...only half of the people arrived. The rest are fine."

Xuexian's smile gradually disappeared: "What's going on? Did you encounter a wild beast, or did someone get sick?"

If someone died due to illness, Xuexian felt that it must be his own responsibility.

"None." Moulton told him. "It's Grandpa Mullen and a few other old people, as well as a few people with distortions above four and a half degrees."

After bidding farewell to Xue Xian, they spent a little time cleaning up the items in the original base, and then set off with a large army.Moulton will first use the flying boat to explore the way, looking for the safest and most suitable route for walking.

All was going well until a canyon passed that severely delayed progress.There are old and young in the team, and they can't stand the long-distance trek, so on the difficult and insurmountable sections, young people carry them on their backs.Everyone already brought their own supplies and had to transport their elders, making it difficult to move forward.When they camped here to rest, they encountered a large beast for the first time. Fortunately, everyone worked together to kill the beast and escaped, but some people were injured.

One night, while everyone was asleep, the severely deformed patient in charge of sentry and several elderly people, including Grandpa Mullen, quietly left the team.Moulton assigned people to search nearby, but found nothing, only a line of words carved on the stone - "Live well and build a new base".

"Later, I heard from Roger that they should have had such an idea a long time ago. They didn't want to leave when they were still in the cave, but they knew that we would definitely not leave them alone, so they chose to leave halfway. .”

Moulton said.

"I took the others to the supply station first, and then flew back to look for it."

"They wanted to leave on purpose. They've been separated for too long and can't be found."

Xue Xian was stunned and did not answer for a long time.

He could imagine why Grandpa Maren and the others made such a decision, but he didn't expect them to make such a desperate decision for others to reach the supply station smoothly.

Having been together for nearly ten years, everyone is like a family. Moulton's mood is very low, but his spirit is not bad.

As the leader of the original base, he had to stand up and be the backbone of everyone.

"Bella had a fever after arriving at the supply station." Moulton said, "Alina gave her medicine, and her condition has recovered."

Xue Xian clutched the communicator, his eyes were a little red: "Okay."

"Holy Son." Moulton suddenly called him again, his tone slightly changed, "These people brought back by Alina also brought some news about living in the mainland. We all know what happened to you."

Xue Xian: "..."

He had already prepared for this, but the moment Moulton said this, he still felt ashamed, powerless and unspeakable self-blame.

In any case, he is a member of the Temple, a link in the ruling system of the Inhabited Continent.The Holy Son cannot save everyone, but whether he knows it or not, in a sense, in the eyes of the people, he is an accomplice in causing these people's tragic fate.

Moulton didn't tell him the rumors about Xuexian right away, but told him: "Ancheng has fallen."

Xue Xian asked in shock: "How could it be?"

Moulton: "There's an outbreak of infection from the Aberration Management Center."

The Aberrant Management Center inhabiting the mainland, which is also known as a sanatorium for treating severe aberrants, was established in the relatively remote city of Anseong.

"After the release of the 'Bright Eyes' video, it aroused strong resistance from the public, and small-scale riots broke out everywhere. The aberrant management center was attacked, and some severe aberrants fled..." Moulton said, "The ruling hall immediately Closed Ancheng, started detection and control, but failed in time. The wave of infections that broke out now is somewhat similar to Chaos Days ago. Those newcomers said that the situation was very bad. When they were sent here, they didn't even have enough water boats. Many people They are all stuffed into a boat by two people. Some infected people who haven't fully made their way to the deformed body are killed by another person in the water speeding boat..."

Xue Xian did not expect the matter to be so serious.

Through one kidnapping and one live broadcast, Mingmu turned the habitat continent upside down.

Moulton asked: "Before this, did you know about sending the deformed body to Longyu?"

Xuexian recovered from the shock a little: "No. I don't know."

"I trust you," said Moulton. "Doris, Bella...you have helped them, you are not a liar, and you will never join them. I trust you."

This is the first time after experiencing all this, some people say they believe in Xuexian.

"Thank you." Xue Xian was a little moved, his heart was full, and his voice was already nasal when he spoke, "Did the newcomer mention how are the people in the temple? People told me that the temple was bombed, and I was worried about my teachers and friends."

"What did you say?" Moulton asked suspiciously, "The temple is still there, it hasn't been bombed."

Xuexian: "Not bombed?"

"They say there are demonstrations outside the temple every day, but there are also many people praying there." Moulton said, "Although the temple is temporarily closed, I am sure it is still there. No one mentioned that the temple was bombed." thing."

Xue Xian gradually became more sober.

That's right, the person named Perseus in "Bright Eyes" did say that the temple was bombed, but his first reaction at that time was that the person was lying.

Wandering and staying away will grind a person's will.

I don't know since when, he gradually took this statement seriously.

Of course the temple is still there.

Dr. Bai, Mier... and everyone else in the temple are all safe and sound.

Xue Xian almost shed tears, and quickly covered his mouth.

Moulton asked: "Are you still with Isar?"

Xue Xian responded, "En."

But he didn't say anything about Naha.

The silver dragons here are not so friendly to the people living on the other side of the mainland, and there are some people who have turned into dragons... The situation is too complicated. In any case, it is inappropriate to rashly reveal the existence of this place.

"I'm with Isar." Xuexian said, "in a place far away."

"it is good."

Moulton said.

"A new wave of infections may sweep the Habitat Continent." On the left, Moulton just said, "People in the Habitat Continent can't solve the infection, and can't handle the corpses. The situation is so bad, we all feel that there will be more in the future." The aberrations of the people were sent here. We will start to expand after we settle down, and hope that more people will be admitted in the future, and I hope you can come.”

Moulton seemed to be full of fighting spirit.

"Keep in touch."

Communications have been lost.

When putting the wireless communicator back into the backpack, Xuexian saw the straw heart that Daisy gave him. He lowered his head and touched the pendant that Aino gave him hanging around his neck with his fingers.

But then, he saw the silver scales of Isar lying quietly in the backpack.

The cold light of the actress shines through the attic window and fills the bed, Xue Xian is lying on the bed and can't fall asleep.

Moulton brought too much news, Ancheng, Temple...

In addition to the carrion that floated over in the shallows in the afternoon, Xue Xian seemed to be pulled back to reality all of a sudden, and even the beautiful things around him felt even more unreal.

No matter how good Naha is, after all, it is a safe corner, not a place where he can escape and turn a blind eye to world affairs.

This place does not belong to him.

As Tammy said, human life is too short.

But as Fei Ze said, he wants to take advantage of the limited time to do something useful.

He, a small cog in the great wheel of fate, should return to his own battlefield.

The next day, Fei Ze and Zhuo Yao planned to go out to find the Misius mentioned by Xue Xian.

Xue Xian suddenly appeared at the entrance of the council hall, he came in a bit of a hurry and was panting slightly.

Fazer narrowed his eyes.

Xuexian walked along the long plank road, circled half of the lake in Naha, and came to the other side of the lake with rugged mountains and green vegetation.There are dragon's lairs all over here, some are small, only accommodate a family of three or four, and some are very large, a cave can live seven or eight single dragons.

Male dragons are aggressive, and most of their lairs are above the mountains, and humans need to climb rocks to go up.

Even in the hot weather, the dragons didn't even stay in their lairs.

Some dragons are resting on the rocks, some are pressed between the tree trunks, and some are leaning together, lazily, only their two tails are still fighting each other.

After passing by these huge monsters, Xuexian still felt a little trembling, but they were all friendly to him, at most they just stretched their necks to smell his scent, most of them just raised their eyelids to watch him pass by.

In the past, Xuexian used to ride the little dragon to its lair, but only now did he know that the place where dragon lairs are densely packed does not smell very good.No wonder even Tammy and the others are unwilling to come.

Xuexian slowly climbed up the cliff, and when he came to the little dragon's lair, it wasn't there.

There was a skeleton of an animal lying on the ground in the hole. The meat had been eaten up and looked fresh.

The little dragon is always eating non-stop.

"Tu Tu Duo?" Xue Xian called out while standing in the cave.

Suddenly, a gust of cool wind hit from behind.

Xuexian was startled, and looking back, Xiaolong grabbed a protruding rock with his paws, and hung upside down on the cave roof silently.

It blinked: "Goo."

The dragon had already sensed its human being, smelled him nicely, and was excited that he had come to his makeshift lair.So it hides on purpose, trying to scare him, and then sees him laughing when he is a little annoyed.

But not this time.

After Xue Xian calmed down, he gently stroked its head: "You are here."

Xiaolong had just eaten, so he didn't come to lick Xuexian's face, he just closed his eyes, and let out a "woo" sound from his throat.

Xue Xian followed the scales of its neck and slid backwards to its cheeks. Although it hung very low, he couldn't reach it any higher.His fingers are very thin and the force is light. Xiaolong is so comfortable that even the tips of the dragon's wings are trembling slightly.Those bone spurs slid across the cave roof and made a "swish" sound on the stones, primitive and wild.

Fei Ze said that Isael's dragon form is still too small, and he almost only has animal thinking, so he will easily agree to any request of its Yuka.

However, if Xuexian proposes that the things that Isar was not willing to do are not to be carried out, then when Isar transforms into a human form and regains his superior wisdom, Xuexian may get the wrath of Isar.

But even if Yisaer only has animal thinking now, Xuexian doesn't want to leave without saying goodbye again.

"Fei Ze and Zhuo Yao are going out for a while." Xuexian said to Xiaolong, "I want to be with them."

Xiaolong opened his eyes, Xue Xian's face was reflected in the clear golden color.

Xue Xian sensed its thoughts: "No." He refused, "You don't go with me."

He simply said it out: "I'm going to the supply station, to help Alina and Moulton build a new base, and to help the people there. Isar, the human situation is very bad. Even Grandpa Maren and the others They can all make sacrifices for the base, I can obviously help, I can't just stand by like this—”

The dragon's eyes became narrow and long. It came down from the top of the cave and landed on the ground with a "boom", which made the cave tremble slightly.

It came to Xuexian, looked down at him, and made a deep angry sound from its throat.

"By Kagram."

Its consciousness says.

If Xue Xian wants to leave, then it must be with him, the dragon will not be separated from his own Yuka.

"No, not this time." Xuexian told it as clearly as possible, "I will stay there for a long, long time, and I don't know when I will come back. It's too unfair to you. This is where Your home. You have suffered so much and finally had a chance to grow up and be with your group. I am so happy to see you happy. It would be very selfish to bring you into our world practice."

"I want you to stay here."

"Woo—" Xiaolong bared his fangs, shook his head and took a few steps back.

Seeing its reaction, Xuexian's eyes were wet, and there was a knife in his heart, cutting his heart in half.

He talked about what he had thought before, hoping it would accept: "You grow up here well, and when you grow into an adult dragon, no other dragon will dare to bully you. You can go wherever you want, just like Zhuo Yao Like Tammy and the others, the sky is high for you to fly. If you want to come to me, come to the supply station, you know the way."

"The new base will definitely be stable by then, and I will still have time to accompany you."

"It's the best option for both of us."

The little dragon's growl became louder and louder, and it circled on the ground irritably, its iron-like tail swept across the ground, kicking up dust.

Seeing that it couldn't listen to it at all, Xue Xian had no choice but to say loudly: "Didn't you also say that a person's life is very short, like Bella, like Daisy, like Nicole... like Grandpa Marlon, as short as It's over in the blink of an eye. Anyway, I'm here for a reason. In such a short life, I've got to do something useful and fulfill my responsibilities."

"If you re-form, and you still want to mark me—"

His face was flushed red, the fever was severe, and he was so shy that he could hardly speak the next words.

"Then mark it and complete the contract."

"I won't hide."

"Even if I can't accompany you this time, there will be a next time, the next time... we become an egg, wake up, you will always find me, there is still a long, long time in the future, we will always be together ,Not separated!"

After saying these words, Xuexian's heart beat extremely fast.

This is like making a promise to a dragon for life and life, which can be regarded as human love words.

Xiaolong still bared his teeth and stared at him.

"Isar!" Xuexian walked to the entrance of the cave again, pointing to a small two-story house on the opposite mountain, blushing and said, "Have you seen that house? Gabe said, we can use it as a future building." Home! I have visited it, and you will like it there. When the time comes, we will fix it up and decorate it, all according to our liking, and it will be beautiful!"

Xiaolong didn't follow, and he didn't come to see the house pointed by Xue Xian.

Xuexian turned her head and saw its silver-white body hidden in the shadows, and those golden eyes full of anger.

It screamed "woo woo" and kept moving backwards.

Has been retreated to the depths of the hole.
