The wind today is refreshing.
The breeze is gentle and the water is calm.
Even walking on the deserted ground, I felt much better than in the Ark.
"Since I graduated from military school, I've probably walked more ground than in the first half of my life combined."
Green followed closely behind Rabi. After walking for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although I know that walking is to avoid being tracked by Letcher, can't Ark start with the car and use sound insulation to cover up the engine noise?"
Rabbi heard him complain and explained, "Perhaps the Ark's higher-ups have some concerns. If the commander drives while Nikki walks, she might feel a little unbalanced."
"Besides, most commanders simply don't need to be equipped with vehicles."
"Most of the missions they receive are carried out near the Ark. There's no need to travel far. Only experienced commanders like you are qualified to carry out special missions farther from the Ark."
Green shook his head and sighed, "This is the fate of consumables. I really hope that one day no one will die in war anymore. But that's impossible. Even without Letcher, the struggle between humans will never stop."
"Lavi, do you think there will be a utopian society in the future?"
"Although I really want to live in a beautiful world, I think that's impossible, Commander. After all, human nature can never stand the test."
"Yes, the world is always cruel, but at least we have the ability to make it move in a better direction."
"According to the coordinates you gave, we should be almost there, right?"
"This is it."
It didn't take long for the two to reach the coordinates in Rabi's dream.
It was a long-abandoned single-family house standing in the ruins of a city. Although time had left mottled marks on the walls of the house, strangely, the yard of the house looked very clean.
There is no discarded garbage or scrap metal scattered on the ground, but instead a beautiful flower field.
In the flower field, white flowers were in full bloom. Green bent down gently and picked a flower that was broken by the wind. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was a white lily.
"Lilyvis flower... This is Dorothy's favorite flower. I didn't expect it to bloom in this place."
“Do they grow naturally?”
"No, Commander. Look, there's an automatic irrigation system on the ground. I guess someone comes to this house regularly to clean it."
Rabi had sharp eyes and spotted several faucets hidden in the flower field at a glance.
“Does anyone come here to clean often?”
Green crossed his arms, feeling a little strange.
You have to know that this is no longer the era when humans roamed the earth. Even if there are other survivors on the earth, most of them will hide in isolated places like Blue Water Island to survive.
But the mansion in front of me was obviously regularly taken care of.
So who could it be?
The answer soon presented itself.
Just as Green and Lapi were about to push the door open to see who was inside, Dorothy walked out of the mansion first.
When she saw the two of them, she was also surprised.
Because this place is nothing but a pile of ruins. Letcher and Fang Zhou were too lazy to care about the ruins, but they didn't expect that two uninvited guests would come today, and they were acquaintances of theirs.
However, considering that Little Red Riding Hood had acted as a matchmaker before, Dorothy's attitude towards Labie was not bad.
"Although we just met a few days ago, it's fate that we meet here now. Good afternoon, both of you."
She nodded slightly to the two of them and then asked, "How did you find this place? Logically speaking, Ark wouldn't send anyone here on a mission, would they?"
"Ah."
"As you can imagine, Dorothy, Ark never wastes time on worthless ruins, so I came here on my own initiative."
Rabbi nodded and explained, "Somehow, Little Red Riding Hood left something here, and I want to see what it is."
"Hehe... something that Little Red Riding Hood dropped?"
"What could that be?"
When Dorothy heard Lapi say that she was looking for something, a slightly playful smile suddenly appeared on her face.
Of course she knew what Little Red Riding Hood had left there.
But that "thing" was clearly not a martial arts manual, nor a pill that would greatly increase one's strength. It was simply some personal belonging. However, since Lavender had come, Dorothy decided to give it to her.
Anyway, that thing is of no use to Dorothy, but if it were worn by someone else, it might add some fun and memories.
Thinking of this, Dorothy couldn't help but smile wickedly.
"Miss Lapi, Little Red Riding Hood said before that she and you were companions. Then the item she left behind should also belong to you."
Dorothy greeted them and welcomed them into the mansion. "Come with me. I don't come here often. I only come here occasionally to sweep the floor and clear out the dust and garbage."
"May I ask what place this is, Dorothy?"
Rabbi asked.
"This should be a venue for a banquet."
Green glanced at the mailbox standing near the door, where a yellowed envelope lay quietly. He picked it up and saw a few blurry words written on it. He could vaguely make out the four words "From the Goddess Army".
There was no letter in the envelope.
Even if there is, it may have been worn away by time and turned into fragments.
Green put the envelope back in the mailbox.
Then he followed Dorothy's steps and walked into the mansion.
Even though a hundred years have passed, most of the items in this mansion appear to be very clean, just as Dorothy is an extremely nostalgic person. Even though time has passed, these places where her memories are stored have been well taken care of by her.
Armored statues, precious murals, unrolled red carpets, and mountains of wine racks set the tone of this banquet.
Dorothy hummed softly and walked slowly in front like a guest attending a banquet.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she stopped in front of a cabinet and pointed at the bottom cabinet: "Look, what's in there are the things that Little Red Riding Hood left behind. Why don't you guess what good things she left behind?"
"Given her personality...isn't it another cassette tape?"
Rabbi asked.
"In my opinion, one of that kind of baby is enough. After all, there are only a few classic old songs. She definitely doesn't like to listen to those new songs, so one is enough."
Green smiled and said, "So it should be something else."
"That's right, Your Excellency knows her quite well."
"Little Red Riding Hood is a very rude and stubborn person, just like her taste in music. She only listens to a few old songs over and over again all day long, so something like a tape is enough."
"But even someone as undisciplined as her can occasionally whip out a ridiculous outfit."
"I think that's probably her ideal self, the one who can occasionally become perfect, dazzling, and feminine."
In Dorothy's quiet narration.
Rabbi opened the drawer, grasped the thing left by Little Red Riding Hood in his palm, and took it out.
It was a dazzling, ridiculous red dress, with a pair of high heels and a pair of gold earrings.
The red evening gown, held together by suspenders, should have been an elegant dress with a long skirt, but for some reason, the hem at the back looked tattered, as if someone had stepped on it and accidentally torn it into pieces.
"Hmm... Is this what Little Red Riding Hood left behind?"
Rabi held onto the dress and remained silent for a long time, his mood somewhat complicated.
She hadn't expected that the cheerful and bold Little Red Riding Hood would choose a sexy yet absurd evening gown for herself. If there was a flaw, it was that the gown was a little too sexy.
The suspender decoration on the neck supports a large area of absurd red. The hollow dress crosses above the navel, revealing a piece of white belly. The design of the one-sided dress can set off the long legs of its owner. If it is matched with the pair of black high heels placed next to it, one can already imagine the absurd appearance of a lady in dazzling red, drinking wantonly at a banquet.
Seeing that Rabbi was stunned, Dorothy couldn't help but joked, "Little Red Riding Hood wore this dress only once and never again. Now that it's in your hands, why don't you try it on?"
Rabbi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Well... I'm not really suitable for wearing such bright red clothes."
Dorothy persisted, saying, "That being said, how can we know if we don't try? Besides, your figures aren't that different. If I had to say, Little Red Riding Hood might be a bit fuller-bodied than you."
"But such details are totally unimportant."
"The important thing is, since you've found this place, it's yours."
"I also want to see what it would look like if the person who inherited Little Red Riding Hood's legacy wore it, so you can wear it. Don't worry about the smell. I often have robots clean clothes, so this dress is very clean."
Dorothy patiently persuaded him for a long time.
Lapi lowered his eyes shyly, glanced at Green beside him, and then slowly grabbed his clothes and prepared to change.
"Commander, I'm going to change my clothes."
"It's a pleasure, my lady."
"The banquet is about to begin. Please, beautiful lady, come on stage quickly. I'm looking forward to dancing with you."
Green bowed slightly and smiled cooperatively. "You rarely attend parties, don't you, Rabbi? We might have to attend many events together in the future. Why don't we take this opportunity to dance together?"
Before Laby could say anything, Dorothy showed a slightly nostalgic expression and immediately urged him on.
"Good."
"I'm going to turn on the phonograph and play some music. You guys just enjoy the party here."
"As for me... I'll just watch from the sidelines, don't worry about it."
"I understand, Commander. Please wait a few minutes."
Rabbi turned and went into the dressing room.
Accompanied by the sound of changing clothes, she came out wearing a red dress soon.
Although Labi is a little shorter than Little Red Riding Hood in height, this absurd red dress looks unique on her. Different from the hearty and generous red of Little Red Riding Hood, Labi's temperament is cold and introverted. Her red is restrained and bland.
But even so, Dorothy still saw some shadows of Little Red Riding Hood in her.
"Like, very similar, really similar."
"You really do have some of her shadow in you..."
Dorothy murmured to herself, immersed in memories of the past, and remained silent for a long time.
On the other side, Green had already taken Rabi's hand and danced with her on the empty stage.
"First dance, Rabbi?"
"Yes, Commander... This is my first time on stage. Even though no one appreciates me, I'm still a little nervous."
"It's normal to be nervous, but don't be afraid. I'll protect you. Just follow my steps. Come on, I'll take a step forward and you take a step back."
Da da.
Just as he took a step forward, Green felt a sharp pain in his head.
In a trance, he opened his eyes again and saw that the dilapidated dance hall in front of him was suddenly crowded with people, and Rabbi, who was dancing with him holding hands, had turned into Little Red Riding Hood.
"Hey, Captain, what are you doing standing here? Don't you want to dance? Come on, dance."
"You know, I don't like to be the center of attention, especially in this dress. It feels like everyone at the party is looking at me."
Little Red Riding Hood has always been shameless, but this time, a hint of embarrassment flashed in the corner of her eyes.
As for the reason...it was because of the clothes she was wearing.
Before the party, Lilyvis had asked everyone to wear formal attire, but Dorothy and the others didn't even change their clothes and wore casual clothes. Only Little Red Riding Hood foolishly dressed up and wore a red dress like the "perfect lady" she had always liked in the TV series.
"Ah! Please, stop staring at me!"
"If I had known you were all wearing ordinary clothes, I would never have come here wearing this dress!"

Chapter 286 Little Red Riding Hood’s Unforgettable Night.
"Little Red Riding Hood, even though you say no, you must be very happy in your heart."
Even when Dorothy attended the banquet a hundred years ago, she was still wearing the same white and elegant dress as today, but there was rarely any sadness on her face. She even stood aside, laughing at Little Red Riding Hood's red dress with a gloating look.
"Where!"
"I just heard you guys say to come dressed in formal attire, so I went and got this."
Little Red Riding Hood blushed and quickly complained, "In the end, none of you changed your clothes. What kind of a mess is this?"
