Virtue is Abundant

after the rain.

Midnight, Long Street.

The street lights are dim and warm.

From time to time, cars drove by at high speed on the street.

Some people with rich nightlife laughed and walked slowly on the street.

flash.

Three figures appeared on the street.

Wu Xiaode leaned against the wall and let out a long breath.

"I'm back," he murmured.

"Finally back." Xia Huilan said with lingering fear.

"Sister, I need to take a break." Xia Xun said.

"Let's go to the alley. I'll put you back in the suitcase and charge you when I find a place with a socket," Xia Huilan said.

"Charging? The summer salamander is actually charging?" Wu Xiaode said in surprise.

"She is compatible with many energy supplement methods, from solar energy to electric energy to nuclear energy—to be honest, she is actually acting like a spoiled child to me." Xia Huilan said.

After speaking, he dragged the summer salamander into a small alley.

Wu Xiaode thought of something, jumped on the fence, and looked at the big tree.

Before leaving, he put the suitcase full of money on the tree.

—the box is still there!

Wu Xiaode took off the suitcase, feeling a little more secure in his heart.

The house of myself and Sister Lan was burned down.

If there is no money, even food and accommodation will be a problem.

Now that I have this money, I am not afraid.

He shook his head, picked up his phone and glanced at it.

A group message popped up:

" @All members came back alive with a squeak."

This is the message just sent by the club owner.

There are sporadic responses below.

Just as Wu Xiaode was about to reply, he suddenly remembered that in this S-level club group, he was a martial arts master with a very high spirit power.

——How could you come back so soon?

The club owner should be very strong, so he will come back after killing.

As for myself, there are more people waiting to respond, so just mix in and respond together.

With that in mind, he put down his phone again.

Waited for a while.

Xia Huilan came out of the alley, dragged a suitcase, and smiled at him: "We finally passed the first night safely, where are we going now?"

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat."

"Me too."

...

night market.

Wu Xiaode slumped on the chair, Xia Huilan sat on the side, ticking off the menu.

It was 6 o'clock in the evening when I returned from the death cave, and now it is about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night.

From driving away gangsters, confessing Zhao Junyu's love, going to the burning building to talk to the female corpse, saving Xia Huilan, killing three people in a row, joining the S-level club, going to the underground passage to fight the basilisk, completing the task of the undead, and dealing with the one-horned three-eyed giant snake , a dark guess——

Here's what happened in just 7 hours!

When Wu Xiaode thought about it, he found it unbelievable.

—I'm tired and hungry now.

It happened that Xia Huilan hadn't eaten dinner yet, so the two of them decided that it would be better to have a supper first.

"What do you want to order?" Xia Huilan handed the menu to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode glanced at it, and shouted: "Boss, the order is ready, just these dishes, hurry up!"

"Good!"

The boss responded from a distance, and hurried over to take the menu away.

"Is there a power strip?" Xia Huilan asked.

"Yes, it's over there." The boss pointed.

Xia Huilan pulled out a plug from the suitcase, pulled it over, and plugged it into the power strip.

Wu Xiaode suddenly heard a soft laughter coming from the suitcase.

"Is she laughing?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"No, she's sleeping, this is her charging reminder." Xia Huilan shrugged.

She poured a cup of hot water for Wu Xiaode, and said with concern: "I saw a lot of corpses beating you through remote monitoring, are you not injured?"

"Help me see what's on my back." Wu Xiaode opened his clothes, turned his back and said.

"It's nothing." Xia Huilan looked at it carefully several times before saying.

"Strange..." Wu Xiaode muttered.

When facing the one-horned three-eyed snake before, there was a bone-piercing pain in his back, which made him wake up on the spot.

Otherwise, whether he can come back alive is another matter.

No, it's too big this time.

——We must not make such a mistake again in the future.

"What else is uncomfortable?" Xia Huilan asked.

"Wrist hurts a bit." Wu Xiaode said.

Xia Huilan took his hand and squeezed it slowly.

Wu Xiaode let her pinch it for him, narrowed his eyes, and slowly pulled the corners of his mouth into an arc.

When I was in junior high school, I fell down the stairs with others and broke my arm. Xia Huilan was always taking care of herself.

After Xia Huilan went to university, she was ill for a period of time and had a high fever and stayed at home to rest in bed.

That time, Wu Xiaode asked for leave to take care of her for a few days.

The two still have a tacit understanding in this kind of matter, and they both take it for granted.

after all.

There is no one else to take care of them.

"Next midnight, I will accompany you again." Xia Huilan whispered.

"No, it's too dangerous." Wu Xiaode said.

Xia Huilan opened her beautiful eyes and stared at him with a warning expression on her face.

"Let's talk about it later." Wu Xiaode said carelessly.

Although the soft rice is delicious, but next time you must not let Sister Lan go.

Sister Lan didn't see the snake.

The three-eyed giant snake with sharp horns is really terrifying, it can control people's thoughts.

It must have many powerful abilities.

I am really worried.

Just as Wu Xiaode was thinking, he suddenly saw a familiar face talking to the boss not far away.

The man talked for a while, and the boss nodded repeatedly.

After finishing speaking, the man walked over slowly and sat down at the table of the two of them.

"This is Miss Xia Huilan, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Zhao Junyu."

Zhao Junyu said.

"What did you tell the boss?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Added a few dishes—won't you introduce them for me?" Zhao Junyu asked.

"Oh." Wu Xiaode took his hand out of Xia Huilan's hand, moved a chair for Zhao Junyu, and said, "Sit."

"This is a friend of mine named Zhao Junyu. His hobby is to confess to people in public—this is Xia Huilan, a scientist." Wu Xiaode introduced to the two.

"Hello, Miss Xia." Zhao Junyu greeted politely with his mouth twitching.

"Hello." Xia Huilan laughed.

——Wu Xiaode's introduction is so casual, it can be seen that he regards the other party as his own, so don't be too vigilant.

"Miss Xia, I'm here tonight mainly because of you." Zhao Junyu said.

"Me?" Xia Huilan asked puzzled.

"Yes, my family owns the shares of Guangming United Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd., and has a certain right to speak. It happened that Xiao Wu told me about your situation. I would like to invite you to return to the company and continue to work." Zhao Junyu said.

Xia Huilan looked at Wu Xiaode.

"You decide." Wu Xiaode said.

Xia Huilan said, "I've already written my resignation—"

Zhao Junyu interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, all the middle and senior management have been replaced. As long as you go back, you will be in charge of the company's scientific research direction."

Xia Huilan was startled.

Bright United Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. is a behemoth. Is it crazy that the college student in front of him can say such a thing?

"Are you sure?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Of course, we have studied the past scientific and technological achievements, talked with many middle-level scientific research personnel overnight, searched the company's R\u0026D line patent catalog, and found that the real leader should be Ms. Xia Huilan." Zhao Junyu said.

"He shouldn't be bragging." Wu Xiaode said to Xia Huilan.

"If I'm really in charge... what about my mentor?" Xia Huilan asked.

"This is what happened tonight. The police have inspected the corpse and came to the conclusion that he had overdosed on drugs and had hallucinations. He jumped off a building and died." Zhao Junyu said.

Xia Huilan was stunned, took out her phone, and started looking for messages.

"Drugs? I really don't know about this..."

She flipped through the messages on the phone screen and murmured softly.

Wu Xiaode and Zhao Junyu glanced at each other, and did not say a word in tacit understanding.

At this time, a few side dishes were served.

Wu Xiaode grabbed the bowl and filled a few bowls of rice, the three of them ate.

Zhao Junyu didn't eat much, he just touched his chopsticks a few times, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, and began to drink the tea in his handy cup.

"I need to finish that..." Xia Huilan murmured after reading the message.

Wu Xiaode looked up at her subconsciously.

Yes.

According to Xia Huilan's original words, Xia Salamander is a 92024-type combat robot, and there is a more terrifying model that has not been completed.

- Type 92025.

Xia Huilan clapped her hands and said with determination: "Xiao Wu, I will create another stronger girl for you to use at night."

Zhao Junyu subconsciously looked up at Wu Xiaode.

"You? At night? Use?" He asked in an incomprehensible tone.

"I can do it myself." Wu Xiaode shook his head and said.

Although……

But sister Lan can't be allowed to take another risk.

"Xiao Wu, don't push yourself too hard in the face of danger. You really need something to support you, otherwise your energy will be consumed too quickly." Xia Huilan said in an affirmative tone.

Zhao Junyu looked at Wu Xiaode, then at Xia Huilan.

Both of them looked serious.

Zhao Junyu twitched his eyebrows, and began to think about the specific meaning of these words.

Wu Xiaode was defeated by Xia Huilan's eyes, he said from left to right:

"Perhaps the place I teleported to was already extremely dangerous. If it were another place, there wouldn't be such terrifying monsters."

"That's a good excuse, but that world is full of unknowns, so we must prepare for the worst," Xia Huilan insisted.

Wu Xiaode lowered his head, and suddenly remembered the group announcement of the S-level club.

"Saving life is the first principle."

Since life-saving is the first principle, it proves that no matter where you go, there will be danger.

According to what the dead man said——

That was the age when the myth appeared.

There are only demons, no gods.

Demons are gods, they destroy everything and eat people for pleasure.

So how dangerous that world is is already evident.

But there's no need to say this kind of thing to make Xia Huilan worry in vain.

He put away his mobile phone and said seriously, "Sister Lan, I'll be fine. As for you—you've already left that technology company, there's no need to go back."

Xia Huilan didn't speak for a moment.

Zhao Junyu said, "Frankly speaking, that company is the strongest mecha research company in the country, and only it is worthy of Miss Xia Huilan's research and development capabilities."

"Too tired, there's no need, she doesn't want to do it herself, don't force her." Wu Xiaode glared at him and said.

"Xiao Wu, if you are making progress, others should also make progress. What if one day that world merges with ours?" Zhao Junyu said seriously.

Wu Xiaode was startled.

I really didn't think about it from this angle.

Could it be true?

He gave Zhao Junyu a serious questioning look.

Zhao Junyu nodded anxiously, and sighed, "This is the most popular guess right now."

"I need to think about it again." Xia Huilan hesitated.

The sound of a crow suddenly sounded in Wu Xiaode's ear.

The spirit of the crow stayed quietly on his shoulder all the time, and now he flapped his wings and said, "Hey, Xiao Wu, I'm exhausted, I want to go back and absorb the soul power, and I will give you the soul power first."

Then the Book of the Dead opened.

Lines of small ice crystal characters exuding cold air appeared in front of Wu Xiaode's eyes:

"The spirit of the crow shared part of the accumulated soul power with you."

"Your upper limit of soul power has increased."

"Current soul power: 7/7."

The crow yawned, flapped its wings and said, "10 points of soul power is a dividing line. Let's try to spend the night together tomorrow night and upgrade more soul power."

"Okay, go back and rest - how can I find you tomorrow night?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"There is a wall in your Book of the Dead, and I will leave a contact information for you on that wall—it is the only medium for you to connect to the spirit world." Crow said.

That is the Wall of Wishes.

"Okay, keep in touch." Wu Xiaode said.

"See you!"

The crow spirit flapped its wings and disappeared into the sky.
