Chapter 289, Human Sorrows and Happiness Are Never Connected

Once, when Ren Xiaosu heard about the Dawn of the Gods, he felt that the mob had named it too hastily.

Usually when people saw the Dawn of the Gods they would always associate it with the Dusk of the Gods, which sounded rather inauspicious.

And the problem was, what would be a better name for the time between dawn and dusk?

Early morning of the gods?

It didn’t feel right.

Midday of the Gods?

That didn’t feel right either.

And what is the time after the Dusk of the Gods? The middle of the night of the gods?

When Ren Xiaosu was seriously discussing this topic with Yan Liuyuan, they were still opening an apothecary store in Barrier 109, and Luo Lan was still drilling in the sewers.

At that time, when Yan Liuyuan heard Ren Xiaosu say these words, his head almost fell off from laughing.

But now, that teenager who told Yan Liuyuan bad jokes could only be unconscious on Jiang Wu’s back, not even knowing where he was.

Yan Liu Yuan left the 108 barriers with everyone mixed in with the fleeing crowds, now that Ren Xiaosu couldn’t lead the group, it was only right that he, as his younger brother, stepped forward.

They had to leave, Li’s power at the 108 Barrier had not been completely destroyed, now Li’s and Yang’s nanowarriors were still fighting each other in the wilderness, Yang wanted to evacuate after he had accomplished his mission, but how could this be so easy.

Just if they waited for their battle to end, I’m afraid that they would reorganize their forces to search for them.

When Ren Xiaosu used the shadow before, he didn’t hold back, so some of the secrets about Ren Xiaosu’s body might also be in danger of being exposed.

After all, there were Li’s nano warriors who had escaped at that time.

Of course, at that time, Ren Xiaosu was covered in external armor and didn’t even show his face, so even if he said that it was Xu Xianchu, it would still make sense.

Although in the end he turned his armor into a shield, at that time, the Li Clan couldn’t care less about who Ren Xiaosu really was, and they didn’t have any image data of Ren Xiaosu to use to identify him.

What’s more, the Li Clan’s nanosoldiers who participated in the battle may not have survived; when Yan Liuyuan and the others fled, Yang Clan’s nanosoldiers had already arrived and instantly erupted into battle with Li Clan’s nanosoldiers.

Of course, after thinking about it, whether or not anyone had discovered the secret of Ren Xiaosu’s body had yet to be confirmed, and at the moment, the secret was no longer the most important thing for Yan Liuyuan to consider.

What he needed to consider was how to stabilize Ren Xiaosu’s injuries and bring everyone out safely.

The car had broken down, they could only walk all the way to the north with the refugees, on the way Yan Liuyuan also wanted to find a car, but the cars they found on the roadside were all damaged and could not be driven.

Without Ren Xiaosu with them, this time they didn’t even prepare much food, not quite the same as previous prepared escapes, this time Yan Liuyuan and the others were just as wretched as the other refugees.

Sister Xiaoyu did make a lot of preparations, but they now had six wounded plus Ren Xiaosu, and just having to take care of the wounded was already too much, and they had to take turns carrying people.

So on the way to escape, they discarded some of their supplies, only keeping some necessary food and supplies essential for wilderness survival, such as matches.

It was not that the supplies were not important, but they felt that the people were more important.

Yan Liuyuan was wearing gloves, and all the skin below the neck was covered, because in case of a conflict with the refugees, the one thing that could be relied on in the entire team was the nanobots on Yan Liuyuan.

Wang Fugui, Li Qingzheng, Xiao Yu sister have little force value temporarily can only rely on the pistol, the other people, let alone, a few male students on the body of the nanobots combined are not as much as Yan Liuyuan.

And they control nanobots have half a second delay, this is to fight with people, nanobots have not reacted to it, people’s fists have already hit the face.

Rather, Yan Liuyuan has some talent in controlling the nanobots, he can now even converge the nanobots on specific parts, when fighting, as long as he is wearing gloves, there will be no silver lines on his face.

In the past, in the refugee team, it was Ren Xiaosu who was responsible for clearing the way at the front, this was to ensure that the team at the back would not be dispersed by the crowd of people, but this time the person who was clearing the way had been replaced with Yan Liuyuan.

“Six Yuan,” Wang Fugui said, “Why don’t Li Qingzheng and I take over for you for a while while you rest?”

Yan Liuyuan turned around and said, “No need, what my brother did in the past, I will do now.”

The group of refugees traveled all the way north, with the cold winter and snow, they couldn’t go far in a day.

But they didn’t dare to turn back, there might be those horrible experiments following behind them, although there was a lot of commotion in the barriers before, most of the refugees who escaped didn’t even know what had happened or who had saved them.

Instead, a small number of people knew that the monster might have been driven away by someone, but wasn’t that person already dead, what if the monster came back again.

That night, the refugees stopped at a place not too far to the north of the wall, one by one blankly gazing at the crumbling wall from afar.

Yan Liuyuan walked into the wilderness alone, carrying a pot, rope, and the dried up steamed buns that Sister Xiaoyu had brought out.

Their rations were only enough for two days, if they wanted to last longer, then he could only learn from Ren Xiaosu and go hunting, and the injured Ren Xiaosu needed to eat meat, he could not just eat dry food.

Yan Liu Yuan recalled that back then, Ren Xiaosu had only taught him how to catch sparrows, because catching sparrows was considered the simplest hunting skill.

Sparrows are not migratory birds, so in winter, some sparrows have been out of food for a long time, which is the best time to catch them.

However, after Yan Liuyuan put up the cauldron, he was lying in the snow for four hours without seeing a sparrow pecking under the cauldron.

During the period, Yan Liuyuan clearly saw several sparrows have landed on the snow, but he breathed a little turbulence, those sparrows will be scared away.

Birds of prey are one of the most vigilant animals, and after the disaster, they are even more ghostly.

Yan Liu Yuan did not get discouraged, he readjusted his breathing, before Ren Xiaosu would go home and say to him, catching sparrows can be simple, but really to their own time to try, only to realize that Ren Xiaosu is just pretending to be easy.

A person lying on his back in the snow is very grueling, his body is stuck in the snow, the cold and bone piercing cool air penetrates through the cracks of his clothes, just like a knife, cutting cut after cut on his skin.

And all around, there was an uninhabited wilderness, no one to talk to, and not much in the way of diversionary entertainment, only loneliness remained.

For a whole night Yan Liuyuan lay on his back in the snow without moving, his hands and feet numb.

Once a sparrow came to take away the crumbs of steamed bread from under his pot, but when Yan Liuyuan wanted to pounce on it, he realized that he had already lost the ability to move with agility, and the large sparrow flipped over the iron pot and flew away.
