John felt that his little life was almost picked up by someone - yes, by the unidentified gray robed girl in front of him.

The time he had spent hiding alone in the ruins was like lying on the edge of death. Until now, his mood has not been completely calm.

"Who the hell is she?"

Looking at the petite figure walking in front of me, I walked meandering through the dilapidated and desolate streets in front of me. The contrast between the two phases was so sharp.

John couldn't see each other's true appearance. The girl didn't seem willing to show him her appearance. From the moment he rescued himself, he always pulled the hood of the gray robe very low, so that his face was hidden in the shadow under the brim of the hat.

But even if John is still in shock, he will not be misled by the thin appearance of the mysterious girl in front of him. Now in this dead land, how can the person who can move so calmly and even save him be a weak person?

Just thinking so, John felt that the other party was more mysterious.

However, after several attempts, he could not find any useful information from the other party, but only made himself more frightened - the destruction of the whole team except him was enough to explain a lot of things, but now he was stunned that he didn't encounter any enemy attack along the way with the girl. Not to mention the danger, he didn't even see the shadow of danger. John was more and more confused. Until now, he finally gave up his intention to continue to explore.

But... What should I say? Although Britain is no longer what it used to be, John can still see it by rough judgment. Just now he found from a fallen road sign that the mysterious girl wanted to take him to London in the past.

But, do you really want to walk like this? Although the distance from here to the outer suburbs of London is not too far, it is at least nearly 25 miles! Looking at the girl in front who has not changed a bit, it is really a feeling that she is ready to go to London at one breath.

John tried to stop talking several times. Finally, he closed his mouth and chose to follow silently.

Yes, originally, the Stewart's special team planned to go to London first. Since the destination hasn't changed in the end, it's better to follow others honestly! After all, if he had to go to London himself, it should be impossible according to his previous experience.

Although he is the only one left in their team, the task of the "workshop" still needs to be completed.

So, from the afternoon to the approaching day and night, John followed the girl behind, driving step by step in extra silence. Until the already obscure and gloomy sky gradually began to turn to complete darkness, John, who had no bottom in his heart, finally couldn't help it.

"Hiss -- hiss -- hiss --"

Because of fatigue and a little procrastination, with the sound of friction between the sole and the soil. Since leaving the damaged brick road in the city, it has been replaced by the rural road at the foot after several changes. On one side is the withered and yellow soil slope, and on the other side is the unexpectedly clear gurgling river.

I looked up over the girl's not high head and looked a little. I don't know when the westernmost sky has become the brightest part of the whole heaven and earth.

In another hour and a half... No, maybe it won't take that long. It's going to be completely dark.

"Er..."

Because he hadn't spoken for a long time, and because he had walked a lot, John suddenly opened his mouth and felt his voice very hoarse and dry. However, what made him confused and even forgot what to say was that while he barely squeezed out a little noise from his throat, the girl in front seemed to know that he was going to speak in advance, and finally suddenly stopped the pace that seemed to never stop.

"Sure enough, even she wouldn't want to continue on her way in the dark night of the land of death?"

John was thinking about it, but he saw the mysterious gray robed girl gently raise her right hand and shake it gently. Then, a soft and yellowish light appeared silently.

"I almost forgot... It's dark here at night. If you do, you may not see the way."

When John was still assessing whether the girl was holding a magic wand under her long sleeve, and whether it was a magic wand luminous spell using the silent spell technique, he saw that the girl lit a ball of light, so he said casually while continuing to take her steps forward.

"Ah?" John was stunned, and then he hurried subconsciously, "don't you rest at night?"

"Huh?"

The girl heard the speech and gave a meal at her feet.

"Rest?" she seemed a little confused. "Are you hurt? No...?"

Do you have to be hurt to rest? This is... A little harsh?

John was a little distracted. After a few seconds, he said to the slightly sideways figure in front of him:

"It's used to sleep at night, but there are dangers everywhere. It's not necessary to sleep in the barren mountains and fields. But even so, it's necessary to have a rest after walking for a long time. Aren't you... Tired?"

Although it would be hard to travel with one leg alone, John thought it over in his heart and thought it was acceptable - even if he could fly with a broom, he himself felt that it might not be a good choice in today's Britain. For the sake of safety, it is also appropriate to walk a little tired.

But it would be a bit harsh to keep on going without rest like this. Once we meet the enemy, let alone fight, we can't even find a place to hide under the enemy's siege as before, and it will become a mutilated corpse every minute.

However, as soon as John spoke, he heard the girl in front of him say:

"Me? I'm not tired."

Although he could not see the girl's head hidden under her hood, John saw it under the dim light in each other's hand. The girl seemed to shake her head with a little hesitation. Then she moved under her feet and turned around for the first time since she started on her way.

"Are you tired?" her eyes in the shadow under the brim of her hat seemed to sweep John up and down, and looked at him again. "Oh, take a rest."

With that, she didn't look at John any more. She turned and walked under the dead tree on the side of the road, leaving John standing alone in the middle of the dirt road. She didn't know what she was thinking.
