"Miss, anyway, I have to thank you for saving my life first, and then...can you tell me who you are and why you are here?"

Finally able to sit down and rest, John, who was already very tired, actually didn't want to speak anymore. But ever since he was rescued and taken away by the mysterious girl in front of him in the ruins of the city, he had been holding back for a long time.

I have stomach problems, and now that I have the opportunity, I really can’t bear it.

However, because John knew very well that no one who could appear in this disaster area would be weak. To put it even more exaggeratedly, I am afraid that no one would be a normal person.

Knowing that the other party obviously didn't like to talk, even though he was full of doubts, he only dared to pick out some seemingly insensitive things and slowly test them.

"who I am?"

Under the tree, the hooded girl in gray robe held the glimmer of light in one hand, leaning against the trunk of the dead tree, and gently flicked the light with her other hand as if out of boredom. When she heard John's voice,

Her head seemed to be tilted slightly, but her expression could not be seen, and she did not know what she was thinking when she paused for a moment.

After a few seconds, the girl slowly replied:

"I'm not sure who I am... Oh, if you're asking for my name, you can call me 'White Night'. Then, 'Why are you here'... I just follow the instructions of 'Big Sister'

.”

"'Eldest Sister'?" When John heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, "Do you really have other companions? Where are they? London?"

"'London'?" The girl's left hand teasing the light ball paused slightly, "Well, it seemed to be called this name before -"

She did not continue talking, but seemed to remember something and fell silent again. It could be seen that she was indeed not very interested in "talking to John".

Seeing her talking, John began to be lost in thought again. He hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask:

"Can I ask, how many people are still in your stronghold? Well, you know, there are dangers everywhere here now. Most of the residents are either dead or have evacuated the UK early...Before us,

Many people have tried to set foot on this land, but as far as I know, no one has been able to return alive... Are they all with you?"

One of the purposes of John and his team when they came to England was to explore the specific situation in this forbidden area. Now that he had finally found someone he could ask questions after almost escaping death, how could he continue to hold it in?

reason?

It's a pity that, at least for this question, he really asked the wrong person.

"I don't even know what you're talking about," the girl shook her head and said, "I was in the city just after 'waking up', and I can't remember clearly what happened before... I haven't been out since then. This time I came here.

"Bian, this is my first time going out. As for how many people there are in the city, I haven't counted them, and I don't know most of them... maybe... there are quite a few, right?"

Somehow, after listening to this mysterious girl say more words, John slowly seemed to feel that the other person had a sense of familiarity - this was not because he realized that he might know the other person, but because he was just talking to the other person.

It was as if he had felt the same atmosphere with someone else in the past.

He frowned secretly, and after temporarily getting rid of this strange feeling, John continued:

"Then...can you tell me about the 'eldest sister' you just mentioned?"

John could probably feel that this might be the last question he could ask in this conversation with the other party. Because he soon discovered that, regardless of her strength, this mysterious girl was obviously not clear-headed at least.

It can even be said that he is a bit confused. Even if he continues to ask, he will probably only become equally confused because he has obtained too much specious information.

As for the last question, at least the other party is obviously familiar with it, so maybe you can hear something from her answer.

On the other side, when the girl heard John ask about "eldest sister", she finally got a little more energetic, and even her tone of voice became a little higher than before.

"The eldest sister is the wisest among us. She takes great care of us. If we ask her any questions, we can get reliable answers. The eldest sister is very good to me and knows that I am not very capable.

I'm prone to danger, so I haven't been sent on any dangerous missions. This time, I was asked to come over after confirming that it was safe here, and there was a sudden battle, and there were suddenly not enough manpower.

Yours."

Safe? If it was really safe, would he suddenly be alone? John couldn't agree with the girl's words, and this made him even more suspicious of her.

How reliable are these answers?

Of course, he was not questioning the honesty of the girl in front of him, but he further realized that the girl in front of him did not have reliable judgment.

Feeling that his efforts were in vain, John couldn't help but feel frustrated, and immediately stopped talking. Then, under this bare dead tree, it suddenly became quiet and deserted.

As time went by, the sky became darker and darker. The salutes John brought before coming were all lost due to the initial battle. At this time, he was sitting on the spot in a daze. Although he felt a little cold, he could only

The suit that was not too thick around him was tightened a little tighter, and he hunched his shoulders and shrank his arms.

The girl who was leaning on the tree trunk was still standing. She seemed not to feel the growing chill between the sky and the earth, and she was not tired at all. And... John felt that she seemed to have long been accustomed to being in the wilderness.

I feel lonely with the darkness, and I don't feel the slightest discomfort with the approaching shadows around me.

In any case, this is an unusual girl, and the vigilance in John's heart tends to rise instead of falling as the time spent with her increases.

Of course, there may be some factors in this that the other party has always been wearing the gray robe and has never shown his face. But since he has never thought of taking off his hood, it is not easy for him to take the initiative to mention it.

John didn't actually get a good rest that night. In this dark environment where danger seemed to be hidden everywhere, sleeping was absolutely impossible. He could only sit on the withered grass and endure the cold night while looking around alertly.

He just stared at the darkness around him and barely regained his strength.

It wasn't until an obscure gleam appeared again in the east, dispersing the darkness that filled the world a little, that he realized that the first night in the British disaster area, which was quite difficult to endure, was finally over.

pass.

"Fortunately, nothing happened and I am still alive."

John sat there and looked at the light in the east, murmuring like this.
