Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation 3 humans and 1 cat hurried on their way.
As they ran, the cat pointed at the alphabet while Gu Jun scribbled something down on a piece of paper.
Based on the cat's explanation, Gu Jun already knew most of it. Many questions roiled in his mind. What was the origin of the body, what was the grudge between it and the Locust God, what was the scientific method, where did the power of Dirty-minded Yu's paintings come from, what did all these have to do with the Yith …
The thoughts were all tangled together. At this time, the multi-colored cat finished another sentence.
Gu Jun's lips moved as he mumbled softly, "PS, congratulations, you're going to be a father. I'm pregnant after the lantern festival."
His heart almost stopped beating all of a sudden. He stopped in his tracks and froze in place. His face quickly turned red as he looked at the cat on his shoulder.
If it really was Wu Shiyu, if she was not joking …
The cat patted its stomach and shook its paw to show that it did not happen to this cat. Then it spelled out another sentence, "The one with the human body."
"Captain Gu?" Yu Chi noticed Gu Jun was lagging behind them. He stopped to ask nervously, "What's wrong?" Keziah Mason was confused as well. Yu Chi could not tell whether Gu Jun was hearing good news or bad news. Why was he so still and breathless like he was petrified?
"Meow." The cat meowed and reached out to pat Gu Jun's shoulder. It was as if she understood him.
Gu Jun took a deep breath and raised his brows. "Then I'll take it as the truth. Dirty-minded Yu, we have to return alive, we have to."
He couldn't let his child go through that kind of childhood and growth experience again.
Furthermore, if she could not return, would the human body be fine?
"Captain Gu?" Yu Chi asked again.
"Something personal." Gu Jun said, "I have a girlfriend."
Yu Chi did not understand, "What is it?" But when he saw the multi-colored cat pointing at its belly, Yu Chi understood. He congratulated them, but then he felt a little anxious. Were they going to have a child at such a young age? They must be under a lot of pressure. Plus, the current world was really worrying …
They communicated in Chinese. Keziah Mason, who did not understand, was silent. She had no idea what the cat said earlier.
"Let's go." Gu Jun picked up his pace and asked the cat, "How long do we have left?"
The cat bit the pen and wrote down a series of numbers, 4: 23, 4 hours.
She could use numbers, but the words would be twisted into something else. That was her guess. She had tried to send a message, but Phecda was hostile towards her.
Words can be distorted, but only words?
Gu Jun noticed from the start that after their multiple transmigrations, their respective timelines had become messed up. Dirty-minded Yu had only stayed at the Wasteland World for less than a day but that was not how he felt from Tong Ye's mind. Gu Jun had been at the Mysterium World longer than Tong Ye and Tong Ye and Tong Ye.
Now, their pace and spatial distance had also become strange. It was as if they could walk hundreds of meters in one step. Although the surrounding environment looked similar, they could still feel it.
For this reason, they did a small experiment. Gu Jun patted the back of the multi-colored cat and placed a handful of cat fur on the ground.
They took a few more steps and looked back, but the tuft of cat fur was nowhere to be seen.
But when they took a few steps back, the cat hair was still there.
"Different dimensions, different dimensions." Yu Chi mumbled to himself, "We are not really here … the central point …"
Everything was becoming chaotic and incomprehensible. Was this their free will or the shackles of time and space? For now, there was no way to tell.
Even though the journey had shortened, the three still walked for half an hour. Only the multi-colored cat stood on Gu Jun's shoulder to save some energy.
By then, there were less than 4 hours left on the countdown.
They had been following the direction of the locust swarm. At this moment, Wu Shiyu raised her paw to express her confusion.
"I remember. When I arrived here earlier, we arrived at the mutated area."
But now they were still standing on the charred wasteland. The swarm of locusts continued to swarm forward. They had not reached the mutated area and there was no sign of change on the horizon.
"The size of the mutated area has probably changed." Gu Jun said. His infiltration into Tong Ye's mind had worked and he was right. "The life circle has been established and the area has shrunk. But now, there are less than four hours left, and the situation might be in an extremely dangerous situation … "
The exact location of Angel City and the entrance to the underground altar, Wu Shiyu could not tell.
She relied on the invisible guidance of the cat's power, like a navigator, and led the way forward for a while.
When they reached this place, Yu Chi and Keziah Mason did not feel anything but Gu Jun did. He had been here before. There was once a giant city on this wasteland, Angel City. But now there was only nothingness. The nuclear bomb had vaporized everything.
However, the light radiation, nuclear radiation, blast waves, electromagnetic pulses, and other damages caused by a nuclear explosion all had a certain range.
Underground nuclear bunker was not that rare at the Phecda World. If the altar was built deep enough, it would not be affected.
"Meow!" The cat meowed and suddenly jumped down from Gu Jun's shoulder. Her nose twitched.
She slowly walked to a spot and used her paw to pat the ground. This should be the place.
"Hmm, this is it?" Yu Chi had the intuition of an archaeologist. He walked over to knock on the ground and used his shovel to dig. After clearing away the dust, they saw several rocks blocking the entrance. The two men worked together to move the rocks away and a small circular entrance was revealed.
The entrance was only half the size of a person. The weak light could only illuminate a radius of about 5 metres. However, it was so deep that they could not see the bottom.
The tunnel was vertical. It was not made of stone but concrete. A vertical iron staircase was built next to the wall. Yu Chi grabbed the staircase and tried to shake it. It did not budge but it did not look that stable either. However, the altar should be protected by some kind of power or else the entrance would not have been so intact.
Gu Jun looked inside. With this kind of ladder, if the person at the top kicked the person at the bottom, it would be dangerous, so …
"Miss Mason." He turned to Keziah Mason, "This is a special situation, please go ahead."
Even though Yu Chi wanted to be the first to see the altar, he understood the stakes. He scratched his head and said, "Miss Mason, you're still wearing a dress. If you're up there, it'll be embarrassing. I'll go second. If you're in any danger, I'll pull you back. "
Wu Shiyu already knew who this girl was. He meowed. That was why he said the school uniform was good.
"Witch first, I have no objections." Keziah Mason was wearing a 17th-century dress but it did not hinder her movement. She grabbed the ladder and plunged down into the darkness.
Then, Yu Chi also went down.
Then it was Gu Jun's turn. The cat hugged his neck tightly. She gripped his neck with both hands and stepped on the stairs. After a few steps, he was suddenly reminded of Ah Bao, Shou Hou, and the rest of the resistance army. He couldn't help but sigh. They had paid such a heavy price, but the Flying Locust were still alive.
Perhaps at the bottom of this ladder, everything would come to an end.
