Chapter 7 Accident
After yesterday's torrential rain, he could clearly feel that the other person had become visibly closer to him; at least they weren't always keeping a long face and silently burying their feelings inside.
Occasionally, I would talk to him about some of my past experiences, such as unexpected events on the battlefield, or arguing with others about strategies in order to find the best solution.
These words were all telling him and reminding him that the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary child, but someone with a hidden identity.
Hilarious! Of course he knows! He just likes to act like a jerk, it's not like he has an IQ problem.
It's not his fault for treating the other person like a child; he just loves seeing people's defenses crumble, and besides, he looks like a little kid, so even he's prone to hallucinations.
Not to mention that white hair is actually one of his fantasies.
But for him, all he needed to know was that the person beside him wouldn't lay a hand on him, and that he could trust them.
What else? It depends on whether you're willing to tell him.
"I wonder what kind of identity KL assigned to this person... This guy's got white hair, and his face isn't bad-looking either, so he's only slightly less attractive than me."
"As long as the character's personality doesn't fall apart and their strength is decent, I'll definitely pull for them all in the gacha pool."
"After all, people like this kind of thing nowadays."
Unfortunately, he has normal aesthetic standards and prefers more mature men.
"Is it almost time?"
Seeing the person in front of him fold his parachute, he leaped down from the tree and stood beside him—and then he saw the faint barrier.
The endless barrier stretched from their front to some unknown distance, blocking any possibility of their escape.
"……really"
Geshulin stared darkly at the barrier before him, trying to cross it, but found he couldn't budge it an inch. In fact, if he exerted force, he would be bounced back and injured.
The barrier of the Roaring Style has not faded; it still exists. To break it, one would even need to use the weapon from Imaizu.
Mo Wunian also noticed the situation and poked it with a finger; sure enough, it couldn't be passed through.
(This time travel is so uncool! If it were the male protagonist in another novel, he could have easily made it through.)
Turning to look at Ge Shulin, who was deep in thought, he patted him on the shoulder and asked what should be done in this situation.
"It seems we're stuck here. Which way should we go next?"
"……Feel sorry"
Mo Wunian was bewildered again. He squatted down and looked at the child who had suddenly apologized to him, his eyes revealing a clear sense of confusion.
"Why are you apologizing all of a sudden? You didn't do anything wrong, did you? Or did you secretly do something behind my back?"
Ge Shulin looked at the barrier that enveloped the two of them and lowered his gaze.
"It seems we can't take you out now. With the barrier's current strength, we'll probably have to stay here for a long time."
He nodded as if suddenly realizing something—he thought it was nothing serious, but it turned out to be just this.
"It's just staying a little longer, right? You make it sound like I'm scared. You can't expect me to stay here for three years, can you?"
Then, turning to stare at the silent Ge Shulin, he suddenly felt that his jinxed mouth could be cut off, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
"No... I don't think I'll really have to stay here for several years..."
After seeing the other person nod almost imperceptibly, he felt as if he could die.
For several years... I'll be raising a six-year-old child in this place littered with ruins for several years—even Bear Grylls wouldn't dare to do this!
Ge Shulin noticed the other person's awkward situation and silently withdrew his gaze—he could accept the outcome of being abandoned.
But deep down, there was still a slight ripple of emotion.
"If you think it would be difficult to take me with you..."
You can leave me
"I give up, I was just too weak in the end."
"Do you have anywhere good to go next? We're going to have to live like this for a few more years."
Mo Wunian didn't think that far ahead, immediately interrupting the spellcasting and gazing wistfully into the distance.
As for abandoning the other person? He never had that thought—since he decided to take good care of them, he was committed to seeing things through to the end.
He's a very responsible man!
Raising an eyebrow, he couldn't help but laugh at the shocked look in the white-haired brat's eyes.
"What? You don't think I'm going to abandon you, do you?"
"Since we agreed to go together when we teamed up, I won't leave you alone."
"Believe me"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Ge Shulin's pupils dilated for a moment, a flicker of joy crossing his face. However, he quickly regained his composure within seconds.
"I remember there was a temporary base for the Night Return Army not far from this location."
"Although they should have already withdrawn, the base they left behind can serve as a decent shelter."
Listening to the directions given and the words spoken, he became increasingly curious about the other person's true identity.
The Night Return Army is the regular army of Jinzhou. Their encampments and such should be relatively secretive. How did this person know?
Could it be that the other side also spent some time in the military camp? Did they forget to take this child with them when they retreated?
Everyone has their own privacy, and since he was certain he wouldn't get an answer even if he asked, he didn't dwell on the question.
"Now that we've made our decision, let's go!"
"Otherwise, once it gets dark, we'll just have to find somewhere to spend the night."
He took the other person's hand, looked in the direction they were pointing, and nodded.
Now that we have a goal, let's move forward! Survival is our main objective!
"..."
Ge Shulin turned his head to look at Mo Wunian, who had inexplicably become enthusiastic again. He patted his forehead and sighed helplessly, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
Deep down, he was probably also very happy that the other person was willing to walk alongside him all the way.
The two embarked on their journey once more, encountering more and more remnants along the way. Even though they didn't crave combat, they inevitably suffered injuries.
Fortunately, the opponent was able to use their abilities again due to their previous rest, and with the purple flames clearing the way, their speed increased considerably.
After swiftly turning around and eliminating the remaining phantoms in front of him, he turned back to call out to Geshu Lin, who had just dealt with the other surging phantoms using his purple flames.
"what happened?"
Geshulin put away the purple flames in his hand, approached the other party, and then followed his gaze to the huge golden cross on the ground.
"A silent zone? I don't think there was one when we first arrived, right?"
Mo Wunian nodded, glanced at the sky sea surging up above them, and indicated that this thing must have formed recently.
"It must have formed recently, but I think we should leave first, lest a bunch of remnants emerge later."
Ge Shulin nodded in agreement—after all, their current situation required them to avoid combat whenever possible, especially since they had recently dealt with a group of remnant elephants.
Looking up at the sky—it was already getting dark—if they chose to take a detour in the short term, they probably wouldn't be able to arrive on time.
If you're in a hurry, it's best to cross this silent zone: after all, newly formed silent zones like this have dormant areas, especially those formed in a very short time.
If you choose to take a detour, your safety at night is extremely difficult to guarantee.
"We're running out of time, let's just skip the silent zone."
"Are you sure?"
Mo Wunian had already completed the previous parts of the story, and he knew that unexpected events were possible under these circumstances. However, he couldn't help but recall a similar incident that had happened to the main characters in the prologue; during the second closed beta test, they were quickly defeated.
Steady or fast? That's a good question.
"..."
After repeatedly sensing the fluctuation frequency of the entire area to confirm it, Ge Shulin opened his parachute and flew down first.
Seeing that the other party had already taken the lead, he had no choice but to mobilize the energy within his body and follow.
He refused to believe he was really that unlucky! —Even if he was unlucky, he felt his current strength was more than enough to handle something on par with a giant wave.
It doesn't matter if there are more.
Because the parachute's gliding distance was still too short, Ge Shulin landed on the ground. He glanced warily at the cross on the ground, then quickly walked forward without lingering.
Mo Wunian also got down, carefully observed his surroundings, and then looked at the boundary in the distance. He couldn't help but sigh: "The things in the game are indeed scaled down proportionally."
This silent zone is huge.
Without stopping for a moment, the two of them ran swiftly across the silent zone.
Fortunately, the frequency in the silent zone remained relatively stable, and the two of them didn't notice anything unusual when they reached the edge.
"I knew it... If I were one of the unluckiest people here, I'd be crying."
To completely leave the border, the two of them still needed to climb a slope. He glanced at Geshulin and, after confirming that the grappling hook wasn't long enough, gestured for him to help the other man up first.
"I'll take you up first, then I can climb up myself later."
"We don't have enough hook and chain locks."
Ge Shulin checked the distance repeatedly and, after confirming that the other party was telling the truth, nodded in agreement with their idea.
Mo Wunian thought for a moment, then stored the knife on the other person's back into his own spatial storage, and then flung his own sword high into the air, where it became lodged in a crevice in the rock.
"Now you should be able to get up there using the grappling hook. Just throw the sword down to me in a bit."
Just as Geshulin unlocked the grappling hook and stepped onto the sword, he suddenly felt a powerful frequency spreading from the cross-shaped seam. Countless rock pillars rose up, and the enormous tremors made it impossible for him to stand, knocking him off the edge.
Struggling to his feet, he noticed the terminal on his lower back had turned red, constantly reminding him that a residual image was appearing.
"Be careful!!!"
How could the protagonist at the bottom not sense it? Having finally regained his footing, he saw a hideous monster with wings on its back and a long sword in its hand appear before him—
Cloud Scales
The overwhelming sense of oppression forced him to focus entirely on the enemy before him, leaving him no room for distraction.
"Holy crap... there really was an unexpected surprise..."
"But Little White should be outside the border... so there's no need to worry about him."
He recognized the afterimage before him at a glance as something far removed from the small Karami of the past: it had reached the Raging Wave level.
But the current situation is very bad for him. The only weapon he is good at using is gone because he sent the other person out, and all he has left is the other person's knife.
He couldn't care less about anything else and summoned the opponent's sword, gripping it in his hand. The feel was completely different from before; getting used to it would be troublesome.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound echoed throughout the silent zone. He was knocked back several meters before finally stopping. The lightning accompanying the attack made his arms feel numb, but he didn't have time to think. The monster in front of him vanished the next moment.
