Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

It hasn't rained for ten days.The thin streams running down the mountain have been swallowed up by the parched soil and can no longer provide water for the walkers.Yu Di put the naked snake bag filled with water on her chest and protected it carefully.

The solid ground shattered into small pieces, one step at a time.The grass and shrubs on the ground looked dusty, and it was impossible to tell whether they were dead or alive with the naked eye.

Walking along the road paved with these seemingly withered plants, it took two or three days before they actually set foot on the White Desert area.

Gray Wolf stopped after following here.Instinct told it that the front was not a place it could go.Yu Di patted it on the shoulder: "Go."

The two watched the gray wolf disappear into the horizon, turned around and continued on their way.

The agglomerated soil shattered into grayish-white fine sand, and there seemed to be a lot of clear quartz hidden in it. When the sun dries, the eyes are full of soft light.At first glance, there is no smoke in thousands of miles, and it is as quiet as night, but after a long time, their eyes are a little tired.

Birdman's symptoms are more serious than Yudi's. His eyes are quite sensitive to weak light. After staying in such an environment for a long time, his vision is somewhat blurred.Yu Di asked him to close his eyes, tied a rope around his wrist, and led him away.

There is no point of reference here, and they must always be mindful of where they are going.The temperature was high during the day, so in order to save the last bag of water, they went out at night and moved forward by starlight.

There is nothing else to do here but hurry.Birdman's speaking skills have improved a lot, and he can understand some of the implication.

Yu Di knew in her heart that she couldn't talk much at this time, but for some reason, she always couldn't help talking to Birdman about the world and the universe.

Birdman seldom responded, and every time Yu Di turned his head to check whether he was listening, he could see that he was quite serious.She didn't ask Birdman if he could understand, but she kept talking.

The last bag of water is gone, but there is still a week to go.

They encountered a large sand dune, and if they turned over it and slid down, they might be able to go faster than around it.

The knee-deep soft sand tried to keep these two living creatures and made them his own collection.Halfway through the climb, Yudi nearly slipped down, but fortunately the birdman supported her.

Facts proved that their choice was correct-the dune was higher than they thought, and they had already walked uphill about four days ago.Looking down from the top of the slope, you can't even tell where the flat road is.

At night, Yudi leans on the birdman to keep warm.In a daze, she seemed to hear the bird man muttering something.But he only talks to himself when he communicates with himself. It's not common to talk to himself like this.She didn't open her eyes, but only pricked up her ears to listen for a while, only to find that he was actually saying her own name.

"Chen Xing Chen"

"Remember, Chen, my name is Chen."

Yu Di quietly opened a slit and glanced at Birdman.He stretched out his fingers to write on the ground, smoothed it out after writing, and continued to write.

"What are you doing?" She sat up and leaned over to look at him.

The starlight was dim, not as bright as the sun, and she couldn't see the birdman's face clearly.Only a little bit of light was reflected in his vertical moo.

"I'm afraid that if you leave, I will forget my name." Birdman said after being silent for a while.

Yu Di scratched his ears: "Actually, things like names are not very important. As long as you know who you are, that's enough."

"My name is Yu Chen." Birdman said seriously, "I will never forget, this is what you call me, and it proves that you have been here."

"Why, I'm leaving, can't bear to part with me?" Yu Di teased as he flapped his wings.

The birdman looked into her eyes: "I didn't realize until you came that I'm different from them. If you go to the stars and never come back, maybe I will become them again."

Yu Di was silent for a moment: "You won't. Even if you don't meet me, you will live a wonderful life. This is an abandoned place, and you are the new owner."

"Owner?"

"Master, owner. You will go wherever you want out of curiosity, just like the way you chased me. Nothing can stop you from exploring. This is the beginning of civilization."

"Civilization, you're always talking about civilization. What exactly is civilization?"

"I don't know either." Yu Di looked up at the space station, "I don't know either, what's the meaning of it."

Birdman paused: "You, will you come back?"

Yu Di didn't want to lie to him, so she shook her head: "No more. I'm just a passerby, and you are the eternity here."

"But then, it's just me."

Yu Di smiled: "Not necessarily, maybe someone like you will come down from the stars."

"Like me? Has hair and wings?"

"Well, if they are divided according to this characteristic, then they should be the same as me."

"Then you come down too. They are not you, I don't like it."

Yu Di shook her head: "I'm not coming back. If you're willing to see me, cheer up these few days and don't fall on the way."

"I'm fine, you look tired."

Yu Di tapped him lightly with her elbow: "Isn't it because you can't see the way, so I have to drag you?"

"Tomorrow I will go by myself." Birdman angrily turned his back and lay down, leaving only a shadow of Yu Di.

Yu Di leaned against him with a smile and sighed.

Early the next morning, they embarked on the last adventure of this journey.

The white sand is fine and soft, but it is not completely without graininess.They have to ensure that their exposed skin is not scratched by the sand during the descent.

Yudi wrapped himself and Birdman in umbrella cloth, ran up the slope for a while, and then straightened his body, allowing gravity to drag him down.

The umbrella cloth was rubbed like it was about to catch fire, and it broke halfway through the slide. Fortunately, Yudi was still wearing a firefighting suit—but the birdman was not. His wings were scraped against the opposite direction, and the fine sand got under the feathers He yelled in pain, he simply fell forward, spread his wings, and half flew and half ran!
He never thought that he would be able to leave the ground with his wings!
Yu Di was quite worried when she heard his screams, but seeing him running against the wind with his wings flapping, he seemed extremely free and happy.

When approaching the bottom of the slope, Yu Di's feet were buried in the sand and stopped, but the bird man swished past her and disappeared.It wasn't until Yudi pulled himself out of the sand and walked down for a while enduring the pain in his back that he saw the birdman lying on the sand panting.

"Is it fun?" She dragged her ragged backpack and lay down next to the bird man to take a rest.

"It's fun. I can fly now, and I know what it's like to fly." Birdman grinned.

As Yu Di expected, taking the risk to come down from here did save a lot of time.From here to the destination in a straight line, there is only more than a day's journey.Yu Di took a sip of water, and handed the naked snake bag and backpack to Birdman.

"I can't carry it anymore, hold it for me."

Birdman took the backpack and hung it on his chest, and helped Yudi up: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's go." Yu Di looked at the bird man and smiled lightly.When you arrive at the launch tower, your journey is over.Leaving these things to Birdman is more useful than keeping them in his own hands.

Maybe when she goes to the space station, she can still see the blue laser light from the Birdman.

6.12 The second change has been completed.

After taking medicine, I feel better.Should be able to make up the progress tomorrow
