It turned out that Vivian would get hungry very soon.
Hao Ren and Lily looked out from the entrance of the valley for a while before they heard the sound of explosions and collapses in the distance gradually subsided. The smoke and clouds in the sky also gradually dissipated with a sudden gust of wind. Lily grabbed Hao Ren's arm nervously. Her grip was so strong that it made the Steel Membrane Shield sparkle. "Hao Ren, is your friend's temper over?"
"Looks like it's over." Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Although he looked calm before, he was a little nervous. Vivian's movement when she woke up from her deep sleep was so terrifying. This was completely beyond his initial expectations. Fortunately, she usually slept in inaccessible places, and Siberia was even more inaccessible. Even if a nuclear bomb was detonated on the spot, it might not be as desolate as this. Otherwise, if Vivian opened her eyes and roared, there would be blood everywhere.
The two of them watched for a while and finally confirmed that there would be no new dangers in the valley, and that the initiator of all this did not seem to be releasing any hostile aura. Only then did they carefully walk into the valley.
The valley seemed to have just experienced a saturation bombing. Traces of the violent explosion could be seen everywhere. The shock wave from the depths of the valley had blown away almost all the snow. The ground was covered with radial cracks and folds, and in between were countless deep pits with smoke billowing out. Hao Ren was quite familiar with this scene: it should be the traces left behind by the thunderstorm.
At the end of this catastrophic scene, a black rock that was raised above the ground miraculously remained intact. A black-haired girl with a cold temperament sat quietly on top of the rock. The girl wore a tattered black dress and held a metal object in her hand that was no longer recognizable. She looked at the object in her hand blankly as if she was trying to recall something, but it was obvious that she did not find anything.
This was how Hao Ren looked when he first saw Vivian in this retrospective journey.
She just sat there coldly, as if she was isolated from the world. She was surrounded by the scorched earth that she had inadvertently created. She was completely immersed in her own world, as if her perception of the outside world had slowed to an almost non-existent degree.
But the approach of Hao Ren and Lily finally attracted the attention of the black-haired girl. She raised her head slightly and looked at the two "strangers" in front of her with some confusion. Half a century or more of sleep had made her mind a little slow. It took her a while to focus her eyes on Hao Ren. "What era is it now? Who is the tsar? "
"I don't know." Hao Ren had a lot to say, but in the end, that was all he said. From the look in Vivian's eyes, he could tell that his appearance did not awaken her "self" as he had expected. At that moment, Vivian was still the countess in history. She was immersed in her own memory lock, and her thoughts had completely stopped at the moment when she woke up in the Siberian snowfield. "Perhaps the tsar is about to be overthrown … or has already been overthrown."
"Overthrown? Is this the end of another era for humans? "Vivian frowned. Her voice was soft as if she was talking in a dream." Who are you? "
She seemed to have just realized that Hao Ren was a strange guy. She then said, "Ordinary people would run away at this moment … but you seem to be waiting for me here … Are you an old friend of mine? Or are you sent by another vampire family to find me? "
Hao Ren looked at Vivian quietly, and finally, a smile slowly appeared on his face. "I'm your old friend."
"Old friend …" Vivian slowly turned her neck. "I'm sorry, I can't remember at all. But if you're an old friend, then you should know that my memory is not very good … Hmm?"
Her gaze finally fell on Lily.
When Lily saw that Vivian was finally looking at her, she immediately jumped up in joy. "Ow ow ow! Hello, my name is Lily! Your old friend and I are new friends! It's nice to meet you. Hahaha, you can really sleep … "
Before Lily could finish her sentence, Vivian's expression suddenly changed. "A werewolf?!"
Lily did not understand what was going on. "Ow?"
"Why is there a werewolf here?!" Vivian suddenly rose from the rock. Her calm temperament was instantly replaced by coldness. Countless dark red blood orbs appeared around her, and her voice was as cold as winter. "Which family are you from? Why did you break into my hibernation … Did you break my seal just now?! "
When Vivian said the word "werewolf", Hao Ren suddenly realized that something was not right. He instantly remembered the scene when the two enemies met for the first time. He should have expected this, but because Vivian and Lily had become a pair of bad friends at home, he let his guard down. He did not expect that at this moment, Vivian was in a state of complete enmity with the entire werewolf race!
While Lily was still in a daze, Vivian was ready to fight. At this critical moment, Hao Ren rushed between the two and stopped them. "Vivian, calm down! This werewolf has no grudge against you! She's wild, wild! She's not from any family! "
Lily was still confused. "What do you mean by wild? What does family mean? "
Vivian, who had slept for more than half a century, saw a werewolf standing in front of her the moment she opened her eyes. Her vigilance and the conditioned reflexes of years of fighting almost made her take the initiative to attack. Even when Hao Ren jumped out at the first instance, she did not hesitate much. After all, he was still a complete stranger to her. Even though he said that he was her old friend, now that he was standing with a werewolf, of course, his credibility was not that high anymore.
So, Hao Ren's stop had no effect at all. What really made Vivian stop was another reason.
A sudden sense of weakness spread all over her. Vivian, who was floating in the air, could not help but sway. Then, she fell to the ground in front of Hao Ren and Lily.
Lily was shocked. "Wah! Is your friend panicking? "
Hao Ren quickly went forward to check on her. "Vivian, you're …"
Vivian weakly propped herself up with her hands and squeezed out two words from her throat. "… Hungry."
Hao Ren was speechless.
A moment later, a blazing bonfire rose in the diseased forest. The aroma of barbecued meat filled the air. The food was fresh prey that Lily and her pack had just hunted in the forest. On top of that, there were dry rations that Hao Ren took out from his Dimensional Pocket. These hastily prepared food were not sumptuous, but for Vivian, who was about to faint from hunger, it was delicious.
Before the wild boar's leg was roasted, she tore off a large piece of meat and disappeared into her mouth at an astonishing speed. Vivian quickly filled her stomach with food, but she still maintained the most basic elegance and politeness. Hao Ren had never seen a person who could eat so fast, and at the same time, maintain her posture and hair.
Vivian, who was extremely hungry, ate as if she was in fast-forward mode …
"Eat slowly," Lily said as she handed over another piece of barbecued meat. "There's still more meat! My wolf cubs hunted a big wild boar. The three of us won't be able to finish it! "
Vivian raised her head and looked at Lily strangely. There was still a hint of wariness in her eyes. However, the "filling her stomach" had greatly eased the hostility between her and the "werewolf" in front of her. She had seen many things in the past ten thousand years, and along with it, she had a strong ability to accept things. Moreover, she was not affected by the innate hostility. So, she did not take the initiative to look for trouble. After taking the barbecued meat, she even thanked Lily faintly.
Lily looked at the "mysterious person" in front of her curiously and asked in a serious tone, "Why did you want to fight me just now?"
"I don't have a good relationship with werewolves," Vivian stopped what she was doing and swallowed the food. Then, she said word by word, "Not long before I went to sleep, I was looking for trouble with some werewolves. I thought you were sent by those families to seek revenge."
"Oh, then I have no grudge against you," Lily said as she held a large piece of barbecued meat in her hands. "I wasn't even born at the time you said that."
Vivian did not comment and continued to fight with the food in her hands. As she ate too fast, she choked again. Hao Ren saw this and quickly handed her a bottle of mineral water. "Drink some water. Drink some water. No one is fighting with you …"
Vivian thanked him and took the bottle. She gulped down half of the bottle before noticing that the bottle was exquisite and special. "Hmm? This … doesn't look like glass or crystal … What a strange thing. Is it a new gadget made by humans? "
"Yes, yes," Lily suddenly shouted proudly as if she was the one who invented the plastic bottle. "Hao Ren has a lot of strange gadgets on him! He's amazing! "
"Hao Ren … Is that your name?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren seriously. Then, as if she suddenly realized that she was being rude, she showed an apologetic face. "I'm sorry, I was too hungry. I didn't think to ask for your name. I'm sorry."
The polite and thoughtful Vivian made Hao Ren feel very distant. He waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. Don't be so polite. You've never been so polite when we're together."
"Is that so … Sorry, I forgot." Vivian frowned slightly. "How long have I been asleep?"
"It's hard to tell," Hao Ren said honestly. "In fact, I don't even know what year it is now. The one next to me is even more confused. She has never been in contact with the outside world in her life. She doesn't even know who the tsar is."
"Have you been asleep for a long time too?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren curiously.
"Err, my situation is too complicated. It's hard to explain in a few words," Hao Ren said as he piled more food in front of Vivian. "Let's eat first …"
Since Vivian did not recover her memory when she saw an old acquaintance, the plan moved to the second stage: build a good relationship with her and conduct more stimulating tests. In terms of building a good relationship, Hao Ren always kept in mind Hessiana's advice.
Do nothing but treat Vivian to a meal! Let the poor girl who had been starving for 10,000 years eat first!
