The breeze blew up the decorative plastic leaves on the artificial tree, blowing across the cheeks of passers-by.

The dim yellow sunlight spreads on the wet stone road.

Among the criss-crossing stone roads, there are silent tombstones. These artificially poured imitation stone tombstones are like lonely trees, forming a lonely jungle.

And in the middle of the jungle, stood an equally lonely figure.

He was holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms, wearing a straight shirt, and carrying a long bone ax and a wooden box on his back. He had a gentle face and seemed to be gentle, and he stood quietly in front of a tombstone.

The breeze blew the broken hair on his forehead, and the setting sun lengthened his shadow along the stone road.

"There seem to be very few people coming to visit the grave today."

A woman wearing a short jacket walked towards him from a distance and said as she walked.

"Today is the day of the midterm elections after all. Everyone is either voting or working."

He Ao stared at the photo on the tombstone in front of him.

This tombstone has obviously gone through the traces of time and is a bit old. Even the specially processed photos seem to have some traces of time.

The man in the photo is smiling and looking ahead, his eyes gentle and kind.

"Have you recovered?"

Hai Xi slowly approached He Ao and asked softly.

"Recovered," He Ao looked back at Hai Xi and responded, "Your potion is indeed very powerful."

When he went to raid the second laboratory, he fought with the officer and subdued the man, and injured his back and shoulder. After that, he didn't have any rest, and went to the wilderness to see Christos. On the way back, he still held on to his injuries while hunting.

Got several strange beasts.

After returning to the city, he painted the magic circle on the wooden box with blood and faced the illusory and hidden existence.

Even a C-level body cannot withstand such consumption.

To be precise, the average C-class is already dead.

Even for He Ao, theoretically, he would need at least half a month of rest and conditioning to recover from such an injury, but with the help of Haixi's potion, it only took him less than a day to fully recover.

Although there are still scars on his back, they have basically not affected his fighting ability.

"As long as it works."

Haixi stopped beside He Ao, stared at the tombstone in front of He Ao, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

"My father."

He Ao took out a bunch of flowers from his arms and placed them in front of the tombstone.

Hai Xi opened his mouth and finally whispered, "My condolences."

"It's okay," He Ao raised his head and glanced at the setting sun outside the huge glass curtain wall, "He has been gone for many, many years. Many times, I can't remember his appearance without looking at the photos."

Then he slowly turned around and looked at the tombstone next to him, "How is Desank doing now?"

"From yesterday morning to this morning, his voice was completely hoarse. He just drank the medicine I mixed and is resting in the safe house. He has two more speeches tonight."

Haixi answered slowly.

"His speeches have traveled to every major block in Wetterland, and the venues were full. For him, this is a weak light shining in the abyss, so he is not willing to let this light go to waste."

He Ao bent down and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone next to him.

Haixi followed He Ao's movements and looked at the tombstone.

The photo on this tombstone is of a smiling, bookish-looking woman. Different from the serious and dull atmosphere around her, the woman in this photo seems to have sparkling eyes and looks full of energy.

"My mother chose this photo when she was still alive. The photo was taken when she and her father went on vacation before his death."

He Ao raised his head and glanced at the photo, "After her father passed away, she picked this photo over and over again. She said she looked the best in this photo, so she must use this photo.

"When this photo was taken, her father was beside her, holding her hand."

He Ao straightened up, looked at the person with a bright smile in the photo, and smiled softly.

Then he turned around and continued walking along the stone path.

Haixi followed him, took off a silver mechanical bracelet from his wrist, and handed it to him.

This bracelet does not look light. It is made entirely of machinery. There is a small hole on the outside of the bracelet, and a thin metal thread can be vaguely seen in the hole.

"There is a sensor switch on the inside of this bracelet. When you throw your wrist forward, you can pop out the metal wire in the bracelet, and when you pull it back, you can pull the metal wire back. This operation logic is not difficult, but if you want to

You may need to practice to use it flexibly."

This is Haixi's weapon. She came here to find He Ao because He Ao said she wanted to borrow this bracelet to use.

He Ao slowly took the bracelet and said, "Thank you."

"Are you going to use this to tie your bone axe?"

Hai Xi glanced at the bone ax on He Ao's back and asked softly.

When He Ao called to borrow this, he briefly stated his purpose.

"I'm going to see if I can use this to achieve the effect of recovering the thrown axe, so as to gain certain long-range attack capabilities."

He Ao didn't hide it and answered with a smile.

"Then you may need to get used to it more. This kind of control is very demanding,"

Haixi nodded slightly, then she looked at the wooden box next to the bone axe, and asked curiously, "You have been carrying this wooden box for the past two days. Is there any extraordinary item in it?"

"Well," He Ao reached out and touched the wooden box behind him, "it contains the 'body'."

"Husk?"

Haixi was a little confused.

"An extraordinary body that was artificially cast as a container."

He Ao explained softly, then he glanced at the metal wire in the bracelet and asked slowly, "This metal wire doesn't look like an ordinary material."

"This is a weapon passed down from generation to generation by scavengers. It is said to have been passed down from the wilderness era.

"A wizard walking in the wilderness visited the camp of the scavenger ancestors at that time, and used this metal wire to exchange some healing potions with the scavenger priest at that time."

Haixi knew that He Ao didn't want to continue this topic, so he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he explained as he walked, "At that time, the wilderness was still full of dangerous beasts. This metal wire should not be a product of human technology, but

Made by some supernatural power."

Wizards are the self-proclaimed names of those who pursue the truth in the era of cataclysm. They seek the direction for human civilization in the vast darkness.

Almost no one calls themselves a wizard these days.

"Thanks."

He Ao stopped in front of a tombstone and whispered again.

This is something that has been passed down from generation to generation by the scavengers. It is a relic left by the scavengers’ last priest, the ‘grandpa’ who adopted Hexi.

Judging from his exchanges with Haixi these days, it seems that the 'grandpa' didn't leave many relics.

"Don't worry,"

Haixi smiled and stopped beside He Ao. Her injuries from being chased by Vader were still not fully healed, and her face was still a little pale. "You helped Desank and the scavengers."

, if 'Grandpa' were here, he would give this to you without hesitation."

The sunlight hit her body, outlining her soft yet firm outline.

"I remember you once mentioned to me that there was a Wilderness Wanderer leader in Dawn City who promoted the Wilderness Wanderer Immigration Act."

He Ao looked at the direction of the setting sun and said softly.

"Um,"

Haixi followed He Ao's gaze and looked towards the setting sun. The leaves were swaying in the convection breeze, blocking the sunlight, and mottled shadows fell on her cheeks. "I have always hoped that, like him, I could change the fate of my people."

destiny."

Speaking of this, she smiled softly and said,

"If I have the chance, I really want to visit Chenxi City and see his people. In fact, I still want to meet him. After all, when I was most desperate, he opened the window for me and let a beam of light in.

My dark world, without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today,”

She paused and sighed with regret, "But I asked Christos yesterday and he has indeed died."

"He will be very pleased to see you. As a leader, you have done a good job."

He Ao withdrew his gaze.

Haixi turned her head and looked at He Ao's side face under the sunset. She smiled and said, "Thank you."

Then she raised her wrist and glanced at the time on the bracelet, "Desank's next speech is about to start. Do you want to leave together? Ryan and I are together, and we drove."

"Need not,"

He Ao withdrew his gaze and shook his head, "I drove the car myself, and I have some things to do at night."

"Then I'll go first," Hai Xi waved to He Ao and walked to the elevator nearby, "Goodbye."

He Ao waved goodbye to her.
