Although she did not know what had happened, there was no doubt that the disappearance of the Abomination had something to do with the man in front of her.
As the leader of the fallout shelter, the woman's brain was naturally not damaged. Whether the man in front of her had the power to command the Abomination or could scare it away (she did not believe that the Abomination could be killed), he was not someone she could deal with.
In fact, from the beginning, the other party's fearless look had already proved this point.
After weighing the pros and cons, she finally gave up the choice of confronting the other party with a sword.
"Who are you people? What's your purpose here?"
After dismissing the soldiers who had finally rushed up to the crystal platform and wanted to protect her, she asked Xu Shenxing and the others with an expressionless face.
"Why did this thing appear here?"
Only then did Xu Shenxing turn around and ask the other party.
"Are you talking about the Holy Relic?" The woman paused for a moment as if she was recalling something. "That's a very long story …"
"Just make it short."
Xu Shenxing said without hesitation.
"…" The woman seemed to be choked and subconsciously rolled her eyes.
But then she immediately calmed down and began to tell the story of the past.
Like many stories, the beginning had to be told from a long, long time ago.
That was when the world had not collapsed and humans were not on the verge of extinction.
At that time, the woman was just an ordinary girl.
"Wait a minute, I think the time it took for you to change from a 'girl' to what you are now can't be described as' a long, long time ago, 'right?" Chang Xiaoxian raised his hand and interrupted the other party.
"How old do you think I am now?"
The woman did not answer directly but asked first.
"Hmm, 30?" Chang Xiaoxian tried to guess.
"Unfortunately, I'm more than 150 years old."
The other party shook her head and announced the correct answer. "The power of the Holy Relic has greatly delayed my aging and allowed me to witness the decline of the world. Now, the children in the fallout shelter have never seen the world before the destruction. When they are born, they can only see this burned wasteland. The peaceful and rich life of the people in the past is almost like a myth."
Chang Xiaoxian was suddenly speechless.
The woman didn't continue talking about this topic. Instead, she continued to narrate the story.
"At that time, no one realized that destruction was right in front of them … including me."
"Until one day, my peaceful life was disrupted by an uninvited guest."
A strange look appeared in the woman's eyes.
"That's a man with a physique stronger than a bear and eyes sharper than an eagle. At that time, he smashed through the ceiling of my house and fell directly into my room, giving me a fright. "
By the way, the words' bear 'and' eagle 'in this sentence were translated from Blessed. The original words should be some kind of similar animals that originally existed in this world.
When the woman said this, Xu Shenxing's eyes lit up. However, she didn't continue to describe the man's appearance. Instead, she continued to tell the story.
At that time, the man's condition was not good. Not only was he unconscious, but his body was also wrapped in bandages. In addition, he could vaguely see blood seeping out from under the bandages. It seemed that the wound had split open.
For some reason, the woman, who was alone at home at that time, didn't call the police or an ambulance. Instead, she took out the bandages at home and re-bandaged the man.
"When I untied the bandages on his body, I was stunned … I never thought that a human could survive such a serious injury." Even after hundreds of years, when the woman recalled this scene, she couldn't help but sigh.
There was also a long spear wrapped in canvas that fell into her house with the man.
That's right, it was the 'holy weapon' inserted in the bonfire.
However, at that time, the woman couldn't move the spear at all because it was too heavy to lift.
"In fact, this thing is not physically heavy, but it leans toward the 'heavy' principle. Under normal circumstances, it won't smash through the floor or sink directly into the soil. However, neither humans nor machines can pick it up without the consent of the original owner."
When it came to spears, Xu Shenxing interjected and explained, which was rare.
"You know about the holy weapon?" The woman was a little surprised.
"I also contributed to the casting of this thing, what do you think?"
Xu Shenxing replied with a smile.
"I see, then I was rude."
If the woman had a perfunctory attitude before, she just wanted to get rid of Xu Shenxing and this group of troublemakers as soon as possible. Now she finally understood that Xu Shenxing was on the same level as the person she respected.
It was only now that she felt sincere respect for Xu Shenxing and the others from the bottom of her heart.
"After he lay in my room for a day, the end of the world suddenly came."
Then, the woman began to tell the main story.
"The sky shattered like a mirror, as if there were countless invisible boulders falling from the sky, smashing the city into pieces. The earth collapsed, and the terrain changed dramatically in seconds. People fled in panic, but no place could be considered safe. After that, even time itself had problems. The surrounding architectural styles constantly changed from one era to another, and so did the clothes on the people and the various scenes on the messy streets. "
The woman's face darkened, as if she was recalling the terrible past.
Lu Wu also showed a look of understanding. It seemed that the constantly changing ruins outside were probably a manifestation of that time.
"Just when my house was about to be crushed by a collapsed building, that person woke up."
When the woman said this, Chang Xiaoxian noticed that the woman's tense face relaxed. Her face, which didn't show her age, showed a little girl's longing and nostalgia.
"After understanding the situation in a few seconds, he didn't use the holy weapon. He just waved his hand and split the collapsed building in half with his hand knife!"
"I always feel that this description is subtly familiar …" Chang Xiaoxian's eyes fell on Xu Shenxing.
Among the people she knew, Xu Shenxing was the only one who could do this without the help of magic or treasures. He was the only one who could do this with his physical body.
At this time, Xu Shenxing had a straight face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"After that, he said that in order to repay the kindness of my treatment, he protected me all the way to this shelter. At that time, this was just the largest underground parking lot in the city."
The woman didn't stop because of Chang Xiaoxian's words. She just continued to tell the story of the past. "Because of the changes in the terrain, this parking lot has long been changed beyond recognition, but he thought it would be safer here, so he decided to let me stay here for the time being. Then, he ignited this pile of 'seed fire' that could burn forever without any fuel, and inserted the holy artifact into it. He asserted that as long as the holy artifact was still there, I would be able to survive here … "
"What about him?" At this time, Xu Shenxing suddenly asked.
"He left after doing all this." The woman replied sadly. "He said that he had done something wrong and let down a person named 'Xu Shenxing'. In order to make up for his mistake, he had something to do. After he finished, he would come back to get the holy weapon … But more than a hundred years have passed, and he never appeared again."
