Chapter 515 A Chance to Save the Day
Is this really so hasty?
Fu Xiaojian had a thousand things he didn't know whether he should say or not.
"Really?" Sausage was overjoyed. She was now very quiet, but with a dog by her side, she was incredibly happy.
However, there was another guy who was even happier than her, and that was [Melting Prison Sniper].
As long as I can stay away from Xu Si, what's wrong with being a dog?
It even nuzzled its head against the sausage paw, its tail wagging like a propeller, its dark yellow vertical pupils narrowed into slits—it was the epitome of an obsequious domestic dog.
Clearly, they wanted the little girl to get away from this awful place as soon as possible.
The sausage giggled as it was rubbed against the grilled sausage, its little hands repeatedly stroking the grilled sausage's golden fur, clearly not understanding the meaning of "[Melting Prison Sniper]".
"Brother Dao, what's its name?"
Xu Si paused for a moment, glanced at the strange creature performing so energetically, and casually said, "It doesn't have a name. You can come up with one."
The sausage-grilled man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Let's name him Dahuang. Our old dog was named Dahuang. He was very smart and would carry the basket with him to the convenience store."
The tail of [Molten Prison Sniper] froze for a moment.
rhubarb?
It was once a powerful and mysterious creature, rampaging across the wasteland and devouring low-level monsters like crushing ants. Now it's called "Big Yellow".
It raised its head, its dark yellow vertical pupils filled with humiliation.
Then it saw Xu Si's profile as he ate scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Those who understand the times are wise!
"Rhubarb," the sausage called out.
[Molten Prison Sniper] was silent for a moment, then stuck out its tongue, panting heavily, and its tail started wagging again.
Rhubarb it is.
At least it's better than death.
Seeing this, Fu Xiaojian finally put down the rice bowl he was holding.
He took a deep breath and decided to temporarily put aside the potential consequences of a strange, high-ranking creature running rampant throughout the city, and instead turn his attention back to more practical issues.
"These eggs were earned by the new caravans through exchanging them for 'Spark Points.' We've really struck gold this time! The two new caravans not only have eggs, but they also raise chickens, ducks, geese, and even two owls! Apparently, they hatched and raised them on the road!"
"Strange?"
"No, they're just ordinary poultry. They're supposedly hatched from various eggs they found along the way!"
"And there are little snakes, lizards, and oh yes, little turtles too?"
Xu Si was completely bewildered; this sounded like a zoo.
"It seems they came across a pet hospital on the road, found some still-live eggs there, and then tried to hatch them, intending to have a long-term relationship with them," Fu Xiaojian explained.
This can be considered somewhat forward-thinking.
"Yeah, they also have a young man who's a dragon keeper, he can raise anything! I'll go ask him what to feed Big Yellow later?" Sausage added.
"Dragon Raiser Sequence?" That sounds pretty impressive!
"Yes, it's indeed a good sequence! I've already put him and Zhao Fei in charge of the city's farms. They'll be responsible for raising all the animals in the city. Right now, we're a little short on eggs, but in a month or two, we'll have enough to meet the city's needs!" Fu Xiaojian said.
The first two teams that came to the location of the City of Fire were easy to get along with and brought some pleasant surprises, which was a pleasant surprise.
"By the way, this guy doesn't need to be fed. He'll go out and find food himself when he's hungry! Don't let anyone get too close to him, he's quite fierce!" Fu Xiaojian said to the sausage, but his stern gaze was fixed on Big Yellow.
【Melting Prison Sniper】gazed at Xu Si with a resentful look, its eyes understanding all too well.
"By the way, how's that Sky City doing?" Fu Xiaojian had finished his meal, so it was time to get down to business.
"The strange incident is resolved. As for them, I didn't interfere!" Fu Xiaojian understood Xu Si's personality. Since he said he didn't interfere, then he really didn't interfere.
"How does their population compare to ours?"
"There should be about ten or twenty left!"
"I'll give these to you too!"
As he spoke, Xu Si took out a few items from his spatial storage. Without the system, these strange drops were of no use to him.
These include the [Mineral Core] that has been preserved until now; the ink blob obtained from the bizarre slaying of the octopus; the [Giant Scorpion Core] found in the ruins outside the city; the [Mist Heart] obtained from slaying the Mist Mound Giant; and the [Mist Beast] obtained from slaying the Plague Beast...
Xu Si was stunned. The [Skull of Dry Bones] he had obtained from killing the plague beast in his spatial cloak had disappeared.
Along with the [Skull of the Dry Bones], the [Source of Plague], ranked 004th among the rare items, also disappeared from the space.
Xu Si's hand froze in mid-air.
The space inside the cloak where the [Skull of Dry Bones] was originally stored is now empty.
And the source of the plague—that dark green, writhing mass of ominous substance—also vanished without a trace.
Xu Si's gaze lingered on the space.
It's impossible for him to lose it, and no one can steal it from him without him noticing.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the ice coffin suppressed by the [Heart of the Ice Abyss].
The lid of the ice coffin was tilted to one side, and most of the ice crystals covering its surface had melted.
Xu Si's pupils suddenly contracted.
"...Jiao Jiao." Xu Si's voice revealed a hint of anxiety.
His figure vanished directly from the city lord's mansion, and reappeared thousands of miles away. He was unsure whether the source of the plague would cause any more trouble.
Therefore, staying away from the city of fire as much as possible is the safest option.
A barrier-like starlight was cast down, and the ice coffin appeared before Xu Si.
The coffin lid was tilted, and water stains from the melting ice crystals slowly slid down the coffin wall, resembling lines of silent tears under the dark red sunlight.
Inside the ice coffin, the girl was still there, and the cracks that covered her body, resembling shattered porcelain, had now been completely healed.
Her appearance was almost identical to that of Jiao Jiao when she was alive; her skin was delicate and her complexion was rosy.
Anyone who saw her would just think she was asleep.
When Wanliuchun appeared before Xu Si, she was equally shocked by what she saw.
She knew Yi Yi's situation all too well, after all, her soul was still perfectly preserved in the Black Building.
If her body has recovered, is there really hope of trying to resurrect her?
Xu Si's breath almost froze at that moment.
If it weren't for the crooked ice coffin and the not-yet-completely-melted ice crystals, Xu Si would almost have thought she was just asleep.
"Jiao Jiao?"
His outstretched hand stopped before it touched Jiao Jiao's cheek.
He was afraid; he was afraid it was all an illusion.
He was afraid that if he reached out, Jiao Jiao's body would shatter again.
Even though he knew it was all the work of the "source of the plague," he still hoped it was true, at least giving him a chance to make amends.
