The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1161 Fear of Death

Nanji District, Licheng University.

The Fallen Street at this point is bustling with lights, crowded vendors, smoky and crowded, and the entertainment of college students has just begun.

Above the street, an unnatural wind blew quickly. It was Lingzu who was flying in the wind and in a state of invisibility.

"Check the time." A voice appeared in the air.

"11:45, it's almost early morning." Hong Xiaoxiao's voice was a little nervous.

"Haha, my king has already felt that the bell of fate is about to ring..."

"Look, the moon seems a little bigger than before!" Old 7 was a little excited.

"Really? Why don't I think so?" Liao said.

"It's really bigger!" Old 7 was very sure.

"You must be psychological..."

"Ah!" Hong Xiaoxiao shouted.

"Get ready to fight!" Liao shouted.

"Ah, no, no, don't be nervous, no enemies were found." Hong Xiaoxiao said quickly.

"Sister Hong, may I beg you, don't be so surprised." He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, um, can we go to the roof of the hotel in front?" Hong Xiaoxiao said.

"Queen Nai, please excuse me." Liao said.

"Hmph, it's just this once, it won't happen again."

Nana sounded arrogant, but her body was honest. She immediately changed the direction of the wind and flew to the hotel ahead with her invisible teammates wrapped around her.

Soon, the four of them lost their invisibility and stood on the roof of the building.

Hong Xiaoxiao grabbed the guardrail with both hands and looked forward. Not far away was a residential building. Most of the lights were extinguished, leaving only a few windows that were still lit.

"Where is your home?" Liao Luo guessed Hong Xiaoxiao's intention.

Hong Xiaoxiao smiled sheepishly, "The third unit of the second building on the left, the top floor."

Everyone immediately discovered that there was a small window on that floor.

"That's my brother's room." Hong Xiaoxiao said.

"If you're still up so late, you must be secretly playing games." He smiled.

"Not necessarily, maybe it's something else." Old 7 smiled evilly.

"No!" Hong Xiaoxiao was very excited, "My brother must be studying!"

"Haha, I was just joking. Sister Hong, please don't be angry." Old 7 said.

"Well, I know."

Hong Xiaoxiao looked at the window again, her tone became proud and a little sad: "My parents moved to the city so that we could go to a good school. The housing prices in this community are not high, but they are still a burden for my family." It’s very heavy, so we chose the top layer because it’s cheaper.”

"It was okay in the winter, but in the summer, there was no insulation and the house was like a big steamer. At that time, the family was very poor and couldn't afford air conditioners, so we could only buy an air conditioner to put in the living room, and everyone would sleep together at night. The living room is really inconvenient. Once I got up at night to go to the bathroom and accidentally stepped on my brother's hand. He screamed and woke up the whole family. I thought there was a thief..."

Hong Xiaoxiao was clearly recalling some embarrassing moments, but there was a smile on her face.

"My brother is very sensible and his grades have always been among the top three in the class. He always said that he should grow up quickly and make money to reduce the burden on the family. He also hopes that I will not be a salesman because my personality is not suitable for him at all. I hope I can find a job I like..." Hong Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped talking, she was afraid that she would cry.

She turned around and smiled sheepishly: "Let's go."

"I'm not leaving, just wait here." He smiled softly, "It's tiring to fly in the sky all the time."

"Hmph! My king will never get tired." Nana stood on the guardrail with her hands on her hips, "Flying over me is like breathing."

Nana is not lying. [Gravity] combined with [Blast] means that flying consumes very little energy for her. She can fly for a whole day without any problem.

I glanced at my watch, it was almost early morning.

She suddenly smiled apologetically: "You three are really unlucky to be assigned to my group. I should be the weakest among all the group leaders. If, I mean if, the ending is unsatisfactory, I hope you don't blame me."

"No!" Lao 7 patted his chest: "Since I chose to stay, I would have put life and death aside! I heard that you took the initiative to ask Brother Yang for me, which means you must have tactics. I have seen your IQ. I believe you!"

"I believe in you too." Hong Xiaoxiao encouraged her: "Just tell me when the time comes. I will go all out."

"Hmph! No need to worry!" Nana opened her hands towards the night sky, "Walking with my king, you will return in triumph!"

Liao Liao wanted to remind Nana that "triumph" and "return" were repeated, but she held back.

He looked at the night sky and sighed softly: "When I was a child, something happened to me, which made some people hate me very much and wished me to die. I was very unconvinced. I thought, I must live well and live better than Those people are all grown up. I always thought that I relied on my hatred for them to support me until now."

"But in fact, those people are not important at all. I just need an imaginary enemy, because if there is no imaginary enemy, I have to accept that I don't know what I am living for."

"I just suddenly figured it out recently." He turned around and looked at his companion:

"I don't need to find the meaning of life at all. I just want to live. I'm just afraid of death. I'm scared to death. To tell you the truth, my legs tremble when I think about having to fight a dead beast. Not just this time, but every time before. During one battle, my legs were shaking, and I don’t know how I managed to hold on until now.”

"Actually, I'm also afraid of death." Hong Xiaoxiao smiled: "I'm scared to death."

"Haha, fear of death is human nature, no shame!" Old 7 also laughed: "Although I prepare for the worst, I don't want to die if I can."

"Hmph!" Nana agreed, but she couldn't lose her temper: "Of all the things that my king is in charge of, I hate death the most."

Liao stretched out his hand to his companion: "Let's work together and work hard to survive together."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, each extending their hands.

……

Dongyu District, sea port.

On the quiet shoal, four members of the Jiuhan Group were waiting.

Jiuhan and Chen Ying stood on the shore, absently looking at the bustling night on the other side of the river.

Junma and An Hege were sitting on the river embankment not far away, confirming in a low voice several strategies that had been drawn up long ago.

Chen Ying glanced at her watch and said with a heavy expression, "It will be early morning in ten minutes."

Jiuhan slowly looked sideways, "Are you afraid?"

"Yes." Chen Ying nodded, "I'm very afraid, not of death, but of losing, of not being able to avenge everyone."

Jiuhan was silent.

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, then asked the doubt hidden in her heart: "Jiuhan, can the four of us really defeat Greed?"
