Chapter 104： light

When Ye Xuan opened his eyes again in a daze, he found that he was lying in the cave where Fan Jiangcai and the others had stayed before, and the mountain road he walked into had disappeared for no apparent reason. No traces are visible at all.

He stood up and said to himself in a trance, "Is this true or false."

Before he finished speaking, he discovered a piece of evidence that proved that he did not dream—his ability had reached the eighth level, which was the level when he died in the hands of zombies in his previous life.

For the power user, it is always easier to upgrade at the beginning than in the later stage.

In his previous life, the speed of his ability upgrade was not so fast, and it took him half a year longer than this life to rise to the fifth step in the middle of the third year of the apocalypse. After the fifth-order watershed, it becomes more and more difficult for the ability user to upgrade. Even if his talent is good, there is a steady stream of crystal cores to help him enhance his abilities, but he cannot escape the difficulty of upgrading. It took four years to reach the threshold of the eighth rank, and I almost failed when I was promoted. It took me more than half a month to stabilize the situation.

Now he has reached the eighth level after only one coma. Apart from the fact that the earth consciousness that he claimed to be born in and the energy that sent him back to before the end of the world can do this, he really can't think of another possibility.

He looked down at the small leaf-shaped mark in his palm and released the vines.

The color of the vine has recovered, but there are still some faint patterns on it, which is probably a manifestation of the parasitic energy on it.

I simply checked the vine and found that the connection between myself and it has not only not been cut off, but has become closer, and has become a complete master pet relationship. Now it is still the same as before, it has to follow itself for a lifetime, and it will die with itself when it dies, but if something happens to it, although it will lose some of its strength, it will not suffer any major damage.

After confirming this, Ye Xuan looked at the watch on his hand and found that the watch indicated that it was after five o'clock, but as far as he saw the sun shining in the sky, it was unrealistic whether it was five o'clock in the morning or five o'clock in the evening. , and the date that stayed on the day he entered the mountain was no longer credible under the comparison of this obviously unreliable moment.

In desperation, Ye Xuan could only try to ask Vine: "I've fainted several times, do you know it's the first day I left the base?"

The vine swayed a few times in the air, and then, as if realizing that such communication was too troublesome, he simply twisted himself and put himself into a big Arabic numeral "six".

"It's the sixth day!"

The deadline for him and Ling Jiaze to return to the base is seven days. Once the seven days arrive, he will bring someone to find him, and now is the last day.

Looking at the sky outside, and determined that it should be around 1:00 in the afternoon, Ye Xuan calmed down, quickly sorted out his clothes, and stepped out of the cave.

No matter what he saves the world, no matter what strength he suddenly recovers, he should hurry up and take advantage of the day before he returns to the base to think about it!

——

After walking from the mountain for nearly three hours, followed by a two-hour drive, Ye Xuan finally arrived at the south gate entrance of the northwest base just after dark.

According to the past, the base will close its gates after dark, leaving only a small entrance and exit for emergency use. He had an ID card on his body, and he also had access to a special channel. Originally, he wanted to use some connections to enter the base. He didn't expect to get closer and found out that the base didn't close the door even after dark for some reason today. A bit of day and night meaning in it.

When swiping the card to avoid the queue, Ye Xuan happened to see a person with a familiar face. After a closer look, he found that that person was Shen Minglang's adjutant.

The two met face to face, and the other party obviously recognized him. After being stunned for a while, he quickly walked to his car and transformed himself, and said excitedly, "Mr. Ye, you are back! Our boss was talking about you to us yesterday. Well, I didn't expect to see you back today! By the way, do they know you're back, boss?"

"I just entered the city, and I haven't had time to go home. What's going on today, the door to the base hasn't been closed so late, what happened?"

"A few days ago, a group of people from the base in City C came to the base. After that, a lot of people came one after another. I heard that they all came here after the base had an accident. As the number of foreigners increased, there were several near the base. If the place for the night could not be kept open, some people refused to leave the base after dark. The boss was upset by their troubles, so he postponed the access control time for a few hours, and let’s talk about it after a few days.”

"This way..." Ye Xuan nodded knowingly when he thought of Min Shanshan's large group of people.

Although the scale of the base in C city is not comparable to that of the base in the northwest, it can barely be regarded as a large base due to the large population before the end of the world. If something happens to such a base, even if the Northwest Base is not the first choice for many people, many people will go to the Northwest Base to live for various reasons, so many people from outside will come here.

They do not know the usual rules of the Northwest Base, or they feel that they are newcomers and do not need to accept the jurisdiction of the rules and regulations here.

After thinking about what's going on here, Ye Xuan didn't delay his time anymore, and said goodbye: "Then you're busy, I'll go home first, and I'll go to you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, see Mr. Ye back!"

——

After driving for a while, Ye Xuan finally saw his yard after swiping the card several times.

There is no time-limited supply of water and electricity in Dongcheng District, but the water and electricity charges are divided into several levels. As long as the consumption exceeds one degree, the unit price will increase accordingly. Therefore, even if there is no electricity limit here, except for those with deep pockets, many people will still subconsciously Save electricity every day, at night the whole building can't turn on a few lights.

But the villa where Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze live is different. Not to mention that the two of them are notoriously rich in the base, the contribution points in the ID card are almost astronomical, and they can't be spent in a few lifetimes. The solar power generation instruments recovered from outside, as well as some plant power generation devices modified by themselves, are enough to support the daily electricity consumption of the two of them.

Therefore, they have always been accustomed to turning on the street lights at the courtyard gate and the house door at night. When they are at home, they also turn on the lights in that house wherever they go. They never feel wronged to save that little electricity bill.

Ye Xuan didn't think there was anything in this habit before, but when he left home for a week and heard a lot of incredible things, when he saw the only villa in the darkness with warm lights at the door, he suddenly knew Why did he and Ling Jiaze decide to install so many lights in the yard as they did before the end of the world.

People who have been away for a long time, even if they don't realize it themselves, always hope to have a warm home. And there is nothing more exhausting than a light in the dark.

He stopped the car, put the car in the space, and walked quickly across the path at the gate of the courtyard, arriving at the gate of his own courtyard in just a few seconds. Ignoring these mutant plants in the yard that he hadn't seen for a week, he walked quickly to the door of the house, and was about to take the key from the space to open the door, but when he looked up, he found that the door was already open, and Ling Jiaze in white home clothes was standing in the door. , looked at him in surprise and delight.

Ye Xuan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and subconsciously asked, "You... how did you know I was back?"

Ling Jiaze said incongruously, "I heard some movement in the yard and thought it might be you coming back, so I came out to see. I didn't expect it to be you. After all, this is the sixth day, and you should come back too. "

Ye Xuan suddenly realized that it was absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen for the first time when he heard a movement in the yard and came out to check.

He is the owner of the mutant plants outside, and can enter the yard without Ling Jiaze's permission. And when he walked through the mutant flora in the yard, those plants always made small gestures to greet him, so there was no bell at the yard door, but the plants in the yard were moving, which can indeed be used as a judge of his return. in accordance with.

But those mutant plants are not dead things. Even if there is nothing to do, the lively ones will move around and make a little movement. No one disturbs the yard, but there is a little movement in the yard. It is almost normal for them to stay here. Ling Jiaze And why do you think that as long as there is movement, he is going home?

Or, how many times has he done this before finally waiting for his own return in the midst of a movement in the yard?

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan's heart suddenly felt a little sour when he saw the light in the dark just now, and he hugged Ling Jiaze almost without thinking.

The two of them stood outside the snow-covered door, and the other stood inside the warm and comfortable door, but at this moment they were clinging to each other, becoming a small world that no one else could merge into.

Ye Xuan buried his face on Ling Jiaze's shoulder, smelling the smell of this man, it took a long time to calm down.

He nudged Ling Jiaze as if he had just noticed the cold outside, and said, "It's cold outside, let's talk about it in the house."

"Yeah," Ling Jiaze also woke up from the joy of reuniting after a long absence, and his thoughts returned to the daily matters. He looked at Ye Xuan's self that he hadn't taken care of for a long time, and said with some distress: "You You must not have a good rest in a few days, right? You go upstairs to take a bath first, and I will cook for you. After you have rested, I will talk about other things. "

"You cook?"

"There are wontons in the fridge that you wrapped before you left."

"Tsk, I just packed so much, and you haven't eaten it for a week? No wonder you felt thin when I hugged you just now!" Ye Xuan rubbed his hair and said affectionately, "It's not enough now. In the evening, I'll take a bath first, then come down to cook, you wait here obediently."

"Well, I listen to you."
