Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

"There shouldn't be that many bugs here...right?"

"It's hard to say. After all, no one has been here for such a long time. It's not surprising to see a facehugger or something like that."

"Facehugger?"

The robin couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhu Qing. People are like this. Although they are afraid of some things, they still can't help but be curious.

Commonly known as curiosity kills the cat.

Oh, no, this is killing the bird.

"It's a common element in horror movies, hiding in a dark corner, making some noise, and when people get close to it out of curiosity, it suddenly pounces on your face."

"..."

The robin's pace slowed down and she fell slightly behind Zhuqing.

"Okay, I apologize again for my offense just now. Please don't scare me anymore."

Before Zhu Qing could speak, a slight sound of something falling reached their ears.

This is especially evident in this empty hall.

The robin reached out and grabbed the hem of Zhuqing's clothes.

Compared to ordinary girls, she is much stronger. Even at this time, she behaved very elegantly and just slightly grabbed the corner of Zhuqing's clothes.

Of course, this is only for ordinary girls.

If it were Xing, even if she was scared to death, she would still want to see what it was.

"It's just a matter of time, it's been in disrepair, and there was some debris falling down when I opened the door. Don't worry."

Zhu Qing comforted.

He just wanted to scare the other party. He had already explored the place before opening the door.

"call......"

Robin breathed a sigh of relief and loosened Zhuqing's clothes.

"Sorry... I used to go to places like this alone often, but..."

But no one had ever scared her like this before, and she didn't want to be afraid.

As a sea patrol ranger, you are more or less a little petty.

"Here we are."

Zhu Qing stopped and chatted along the way, and the two finally arrived at their destination.

This place is not what you might imagine, as the items piled here are not sacrificial items.

But it's one stone slab after another.

There are symbols carved on it, which should be the writing of this planet.

"It's really rare that this place has not been destroyed."

"After all, it's a civilization that disappeared a long time ago. Even if the songs were beautiful, not many people would pay attention to them now."

Few people would do something that has no benefits.

The robin walked over, not paying attention to the dust on the ground, and squatted down.

She reached out and gently wiped the dust off it, and the words became clearer.

"After the passing of a civilization, only these remain."

She looked at the text and said, "I thought there would at least be some video footage left."

"For a civilization that cannot travel between stars, stone is the longest-lasting way they preserve their writing."

Zhu Qing also came over, but he didn't squat down. He just stood behind the girl and watched.

"Rather, they were smart and didn't do anything useless."

"It's hard to imagine the mentality of those last people as they faced the twilight of civilization, and the mood in which they accompanied civilization into a night without tomorrow."

Perhaps no one except the person involved will know what kind of feeling this is.

The robin sighed softly. She had experienced this before, but she was luckier.

Fortunately survived.

In this respect, she and Qingzhu should be quite similar, having both witnessed the twilight of their own civilization.

The silent atmosphere echoed between the two for a long time.

Another piece of gravel fell, as if telling of the danger here, or urging something.

Ordinary stones do not have consciousness, and there is no such thing as a soul here.

The stone may have fallen down simply because the place was in disrepair.

But humans are creatures that like to associate, and when she thought about it this way, the meaning emerged.

Robin stood up and took out his phone.

"I want to take pictures of all the text here and then go back and study it slowly."

"Send me a copy later."

"Hmm? Are you interested too?"

"Honestly, I'm not very interested."

Zhu Qing spread out his hands. He had no artistic talent and had no interest in studying the history of the universe.

"But I can put them online, so at least that way I can prove they existed."

"Some time ago, I went looking for information about the Sea Ranger."

The robin was filming and talking at the same time.

"Although there are both good and bad reviews, I found a very interesting answer in it."

"tell me the story?"

The robin smiled.

"That's a word you once said to me. They say the Sea Rangers are a very romantic group."

Although many people can think of this method, it is really unique to bring it up on such an occasion.

“This evaluation is really objective.”

The girl said.

"Perhaps it's because they don't understand us well enough. Otherwise, they would have discovered that the Sea Rangers are just ordinary people with various shortcomings."

"For example, I have a friend who once said he never used the money he robbed for pleasure."

The robin looked at Zhuqing. Is there anything wrong with this?

"First, credit points don't count as money; second, a little fun doesn't count as fun."

"..."

Listening to Zhuqing's imitation, the robin pursed his lips and tried hard not to laugh.

Apart from that common bottom line, the rangers' other bottom lines are quite flexible.

It is said to be taking pictures, but it is more accurate to say it is scanning.

In the interstellar age, taking photos is not such an inconvenient thing.

After the last stone slab was scanned, the entire building began to shake.

The robin raised its head, looked at the dust above, and murmured softly.

"Is this a hint of something?"

"I don't know, but if we don't leave now, we'll be buried alive here soon."

Hearing Zhu Qing's words, the robin's lips curled up into a smile.

The two quickly left the sacrificial site, and shortly after they left, the entire building collapsed.

The loud noise caused the two of them to turn around and look.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight passed through the clouds, penetrated the shade of the trees, and fell on the shoulders of the two.

The robin raised his head, closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunshine.

After a while, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and spoke softly.

"'If I Had Never Seen the Sun', how about this name?"

"very nice."

The girl slowly opened her eyes.

"It's a pity that there's only one name now."

She placed one hand on her chest and looked at the collapsed buildings in the distance.

"Finally, can you accompany me to another place?"

"Okay, where are you going?"

He was also prepared.

“My hometown.”

......

Chapter 27: Hometown

The robin's eyes were calm as she just stared at the ruins in the distance.

After a long time, she reached out to tidy up the hair around her ears and looked at Zhu Qing.

“I always feel like I see the shadow of my hometown, so I want to go back and take a look.”

"It's not bad to go back and take a look."

"What about you? Have you gone back to check it out?"

The girl asked softly. They both had lost their hometowns, so she understood the feeling very well.

"The place has been taken in by companies, and it's changed drastically in just a few years. It has almost nothing to do with the hometown I remember."

The robin looked at Zhuqing. Although she didn't know much about Zhuqing, she knew that Zhuqing had walked out of the planet on her own.

Although she didn't know what method he used, the hardships along the way were probably beyond her imagination.

Zhu Qing's eyes were also on the ruins, and he changed the subject.

"There should be other sacrificial sites here. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"According to historical records, this should be the largest sacrificial site."

Mockingbird shook his head. "If they really have reached the end, no one else will do the same thing."

"Let's walk along the way. You might come across a library or something."

Hearing this, the girl laughed.

"Okay, I always feel that this place has a good connection with me. My luck shouldn't be too bad, right?"

She had forgotten that there must be a place other than here where some books were kept.

Even if it is damaged to the point where it cannot be opened, this is obviously not an unsolvable problem for the huge galaxy.

It was just that it was too long ago, so she subconsciously thought that only these were preserved.

After all, the level of technology here is really not very developed.

The two of them started walking towards the city.

This should be their last home. Although there was no war here, it was destroyed because there were too few people left.
