Chapter 604 Little Pear, you scared me to death!
Seeing that her brows furrowed even deeper, C'Thun got up and walked over.

The medicine Jiang Xinli gave him was very effective; those shocking wounds had healed and scabbed over.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xinli glanced out the window. "I just posted my new location in the group chat, but Aze and the others haven't replied."

The sky outside gradually darkened.

The dilapidated ruins were deserted.

Jiang Xinli was worried that Sheng Tianze and his group had also encountered those mutated wolfhound warriors.

Just as C'Thun was about to comfort her, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from not far away. "Sister-in-law, someone is coming."

Jiang Xinli's hearing has improved a lot, but it's still not as good as C'Thun's. She frowned and asked, "Where?"

"Wait a moment, it's coming this way." C'Thun said, his tentacles rolling up a filing cabinet and blocking Jiang Xinli's view.

He narrowed his dark eyes slightly. "If I remember correctly, the voice belongs to that fox."

"Xue Qianxun?" Jiang Xinli was startled and was about to rush out when she realized that her superpower had not fully recovered.

C'Thun quickly stopped her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, he should be fine."

Before the words were finished, a tall, slender, snow-white figure, surrounded by a blanket of snow, appeared in their field of vision.

It is Xue Qianxun.

Behind him, a pack of mutated wolfhounds with sharp claws surged forward one after another.

The wolfhound that approached was instantly swept away by the blizzard carrying icy spikes.

But their numbers are endless.

Jiang Xinli understood.

These wolfhounds, just like those that had dealt with her before, were using sheer numbers to constantly deplete Xue Qianxun's supernatural abilities.

Just wait for the moment his superpower is exhausted, then immediately step forward and strike him deadly.

As several giant, mutated wolfhounds with a metallic sheen appeared behind the tall buildings, Jiang Xinli panicked.

"C'Thun, go help him!"

"Sister-in-law, what about you—" the young man looked at her with worry in his eyes, "If I go, what will happen to you?"

Jiang Xinli took out the self-defense dagger. "My superpower cooldown is almost over, and besides, I have this."

She glanced around the office area and saw a small room not far away with a sign that read "Archives Room".

"Go quickly, I'll hide and wait for you to come back."

C'Thun did not agree immediately.

He quickly moved his tentacles to the room whose door had been cut in half by a chainsaw, and with a pull of his tentacles, he opened the door.

The room was filled with a rotten smell mixed with the stench of urine.

Rows of rusty metal filing cabinets were haphazardly placed.

The sheet metal was very thick, but it was still forcibly pried open.

The paper files inside were probably used as firewood and discarded as waste paper.

He moved a few filing cabinets and set up a triangular protected area. "Sister-in-law, please hide here first."

"Okay." Jiang Xinli went inside. "Be careful."

The boy's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly suppressed the ripples that were rising in his heart again.

"Okay. I'll be back soon." He raised a tentacle, released a ring of black mist from his sucker that could weaken the scent of pheromones, then turned around, leaped into the air, and jumped off the building.

"Boom!" The earth-shaking tremor came again, and the building shook slightly.

"Clang!" A hard object slid and hit the sound coming from a nearby filing cabinet.

Jiang Xinli realized that the archives room before the apocalypse was where the company's files were stored.

There are paper materials, but there are also some non-paper trophies, medals, and the like.

With that thought in mind, she listened intently for a while, then, gripping the dagger, tiptoed toward the source of the sound.

The filing cabinets were all forcibly pried open, which saved her the trouble of doing it herself.

Several dusty medals came into view.

Jiang Xinli picked it up and looked at it; there was no time on the medal.

Continuing upwards, her eyes lit up: it was a bronze anniversary ornament.

The ornaments on top are gone, leaving only a rusty bronze base.

Jiang Xinli picked it up, wiped off the dust, and saw the time on it. She froze on the spot. It was the month she was struck by lightning while filming in the rain and returned to interstellar space.

So, at least, everything was normal here until she returned to interstellar space.

But she has only been back on Dark Star for a few months.

Everything here, including this base, looks as if the apocalypse has been going on for a very, very long time.

This can only mean that either the flow of time in interstellar space and on ancient Earth is inconsistent.

Or perhaps this is an ancient Earth in another parallel universe.

Jiang Xinli was in a state of utter confusion.

The tremors and sounds of fighting outside stopped.

She gathered her thoughts, gripped the dagger tightly, and hid behind the filing cabinet.

Light footsteps echoed in the outer office area.

"Heart Pear Baby?"

"Royal sister-in-law?"

Amidst the crisp, cool scent of pine, Xue Qianxun's slender figure appeared at the doorway.

He had some bloodstains on him, but his demeanor remained noble and elegant.

"Little fox!" As soon as Jiang Xinli peeked out, the young man strode over and hugged her tightly. "Xinli baby, you scared me to death."

Jiang Xinli wrapped her arms around his waist and asked, "Have you killed all the enemies?"

"Yes, those giant wolfhounds are very dangerous. Fortunately, C'Thun helped us."

Xue Qianxun quickly released her and checked her over from all angles.
Are you injured, or is anything bothering you?

"No, I just ran out of power, but I'll recover soon." Jiang Xinli also looked up at him with concern.
"What about you?"

Xue Qianxun has a very high mental riot value.

Judging from the looks of it, that kind of battle wasn't the first time.

Jiang Xinli frowned. "By the way, have Aze and the others contacted you?"

“No.” Xue Qianxun hugged her. “I suspect they, like me, have entered a temporary miniature spacetime black hole.”

Jiang Xinli was taken aback, "A temporary miniature spacetime black hole?"

Xue Qianxun kissed her forehead. "Hmm. It could also be some kind of trial illusion."

After sending messages to Jiang Xinli and Sheng Tianze, he immediately followed the senses of Bing Po Xin and Xue Jie to search for the area where Jiang Xinli was.

We encountered many transparent, flowing barriers along the way.

Like Jiang Xinli, he threw out ice spikes in advance as a test.

With the help of the ice spikes, the transparent city maze didn't trap him many times.

However, when she was less than a kilometer away from Jiang Xinli, the ice spike she threw out to probe the barrier was swallowed by a transparent vortex.

Before he could react, he was completely swallowed up by that powerful force.

There are many mutated wolfhound warriors carrying quantum guns inside.

He escaped by defeating those mutated wolfhounds.

"So, it's very likely that Aze and the others were also sucked into that place?"

“Yes.” Xue Qianxun comforted her, “Don’t worry, Xinli baby, they should be able to handle it, it just takes time.”

"And it wasn't a complete loss." He raised the spatial ring on his finger.

"I confiscated a bunch of quantum guns; maybe we can use them later."

Bai Yao also gave them some.

However, the quantum gun needs to be charged.

They also lacked energy sources to begin with.

Jiang Xinli's heart sank: Could it be that Yun Bo, like Sheng Tianze and the others, also went inside?
Otherwise, why haven't I sensed her yet?

Hopefully, he and Sheng Tianze will all be safe and sound.

“Xinli baby, don’t worry too much.” Xue Qianxun knew what she was worried about. “Their ability level is higher than mine, they will be fine.”

"Hmm." Jiang Xinli suppressed her unease. "Little fox, I'll help you lower the riot value first."

"Okay." Xue Qianxun smiled brightly, hugged her waist tightly, cupped her face, and kissed her lips deeply.

The octopus boy watched silently from behind, his dark eyes swirling with unspoken tension.
