Chapter 2404 Waste of Effort
"Miss, in short, I still have to thank you for saving my life, and then... can you tell me who you are and why you are here?"
Finally able to sit down and rest, John, who was already very tired, didn't really want to talk anymore. It's just that since he was rescued and taken away by the mysterious girl in front of him in the ruins of the urban area, he has been holding back the problem for a long time. Now that he has the opportunity, he really can't help it.
However, just because John knows very well, absolutely none of the people who can appear in this disaster land today will be weak. To put it a little more exaggeratedly, I am afraid that none of them are normal people.
Knowing that the other party obviously doesn't like to talk, even if he is full of doubts, he only dares to pick out some seemingly insensitive things and slowly test them out.
"who I am?"
Under the tree, the gray-robed girl with a hood held the twilight in one hand, leaning against the trunk of the dead tree, flicking the light with the other hand as if bored. When she heard John's voice, her head seemed to tilt slightly, but she couldn't see her expression, and she didn't know what she was thinking after a slight pause.
After a few seconds, the girl replied slowly:
"I'm not really sure who I am either... oh, if you're asking for my name, you can call me 'White Night'. Then, 'Why are you here'... I just follow the instructions of 'Big Sister' .”
"'Elder Sister'?" John's eyes flashed when he heard it, "Do you really have other companions? Where is it? London?"
"'London'?" The girl's left hand, which was teasing the light group, paused slightly, "Well, it seems to be called this name before—"
She didn't continue to speak, but seemed to remember something, and fell silent again. It can be seen that she is not really interested in talking to John.
Seeing her talking, John began to lose his mind again. He also hesitated for a while, and then he couldn't help asking:
"Can I ask, how many people are still in your stronghold? Uh, you know, there are dangers everywhere now, and most of the residents are either dead or have withdrawn from the UK early... Before us, There have also been many people who have tried to set foot on this land, but as far as I know, none of them have been able to return alive... Are they all with you?"
One of the purposes of John and his team when they came to the UK was to find out the specific situation in this forbidden area. Now that he had managed to find someone he could ask after dying, how could he have any reason to hold back?
Unfortunately, at least this question, he really asked the wrong person.
"I don't know what you said," the girl shook her head and said, "I just 'woke up' and I was in the city. By the way, this is my first time going out. As for how many people there are in the city, I haven’t counted them, and most of them don’t know each other...Maybe...it’s quite a lot, right?”
For some reason, after listening to this mysterious girl say a few words, John slowly felt that the other party had a sense of familiarity—this was not because he realized that he might know the other party, but because he was just talking to the other party The feeling he had felt at the time, as if he had felt the same atmosphere in someone else in the past.
Secretly frowned, after getting rid of this strange feeling for the time being,
John continued:
"Then... can you tell me about the 'big sister' you mentioned just now?"
John could probably feel that this might be the last question he could ask in this conversation. Because he soon discovered that no matter how powerful this mysterious girl was, at least her mind was obviously not clear, and it could even be said that she was a little confused. Even if he continued to ask, it would probably only make himself confused because of too much specious information.
As for the last question, at least the other party is obviously familiar with it, and maybe something can be heard from her answer.
On the other side, the girl finally regained her energy when she heard John ask about "big sister", and even spoke in a slightly higher tone than before.
"The eldest sister is the wisest one among us. She takes good care of us. If we have any questions, if we ask her in the past, most of them can get reliable answers. The eldest sister is very kind to me, knowing that I am not capable enough, It is easy to encounter danger, so I have never been sent to carry out any dangerous tasks. This time, I was also asked to come here when I was sure that it was safe, and there was a sudden battle and there were not enough manpower. Yours."
Safety? If it was really safe, would he suddenly become the only one left? John couldn't agree more with what the girl said, and this made him even more suspicious of the reliability of the other party's answers.
Of course, he wasn't questioning the honesty of the girl in front of him, he just realized that the girl didn't have a reliable ability to judge.
Feeling that his efforts had been wasted, John couldn't help feeling frustrated, and stopped talking immediately, so he suddenly became quiet and deserted under the bare withered tree.
As time passed, the sky became darker and darker. The salute John brought before he came was lost because of the battle at the beginning, and now he was sitting on the spot in a coma. Although he felt a little cold, he could only tighten his not-so-thick suit a little more, and shrugged. His shoulders shrank.
The girl leaning on the tree trunk was still standing, as if she couldn't feel the growing chill in the world, and she wasn't tired at all. And... John feels that she seems to have already gotten used to the loneliness of being in the wilderness and darkness, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable with the shadows that are approaching around her.
In any case, this is an unusual girl, and the vigilance in John's heart will not decrease but rise as the time spent with the other party increases.
Of course, there may also be factors that the other party always wears that gray robe and never shows his face. But since he has never thought of taking off his hood, it is not easy for him to take the initiative to mention it.
John didn't sleep well that night. In this dark environment that seems to be full of dangers everywhere, it is absolutely impossible to sleep. He can only sit on the dry grass while enduring the cold night, while vigilantly looking around the darkness around him, barely recovering his physical strength That's all.
It wasn't until an obscure twilight reappeared in the east that dispelled the darkness that filled the world a little bit, and then he realized that the first night in the British disaster area, which was quite difficult to hold on, was finally considered safe. pass.
"Fortunately, nothing happened, and I am still alive."
John sat there looking at the light in the east, muttering like this.
