Chapter 2409

It's still "lively" outside London - this is John's first impression of this once prosperous country after Britain was completely devastated.

Of course, the so-called "excitement" must no longer mean what it used to mean.

But when John kept up with the footsteps of the "girl" with the determination of almost dying, and finally stepped into the scope of the current icicle city in a real sense, everything he saw seemed to be quite different from what he imagined!

First of all, the things mentioned by the suspicious "girl" who claimed to be "white night" in front seemed to be confirmed at the first time - this huge urban area of London has indeed been completely occupied by cold ice. When it was obviously excavated by personnel, the thick ice formed several staggered real ice tunnels in the urban area. This is John, who feels colder and colder as he gets closer to London. In this long tunnel, he even sees the thick cold floating and gently surging on the ground. After walking only a short time, there are signs of unconsciousness in his heels.

But the girl walking in front of the white night was as tireless as she was along the way. She obviously didn't care about the heavy cold here. She still walked forward with wind at her feet as at the beginning.

After a while, John was a little unbearable. He had to stop his pace a little and stamp his feet alternately, trying to make himself feel better. But at the same time, he didn't waste this time. While stamping his feet and trying to regain consciousness, with a little doubt and curiosity, he stretched out his hand and wiped it on the frosty tunnel wall.

"Chi -"

The bitter chill penetrated the palm, as if even the metacarpal bones were trembling. Then he wiped it. John hurriedly retracted his hand like an electric shock.

However, this stroke immediately made him successfully see the scene outside the tunnel in the urban area.

"Why don't you go, sir?"

In fact, it was only a few seconds before the white night leading the way returned home and called John. It was this soft call that woke him up again. But it was these seconds that made John seem to have spent a long time.

"Oh, oh... It's all right. I'm just... A little cold."

John, who had recovered, smiled reluctantly, tried to pretend nothing had happened, and gently waved to the girl.

It is true that the white night of "not deep in the world" seems not to be aware of his abnormal mood. Seeing him say so, he is quite surprised to say:

"Ah! Sorry, I forgot that you humans are different from us in many places... Well... If you don't mind being small, take my robe first! It should be much better - when you get to the side hall, you should be able to find your human warm cloak to wear."

As Bai Ye spoke, she quickly took off her hooded gray robe that she had been wearing since she met John. It seemed that John saw the real appearance of the "mysterious girl" who saved his life for the first time.

But this time, John finally found that the truth of the fact was not far from his guess occasionally - no matter what the girl was, at least from the appearance, the other party was really like her crisp voice, a petite and charming little girl. In addition to the slightly gray, astringent, dry and white skin, it is exactly what a human girl of 14 or 5 should look like.

If the corpse Blackton John had just seen was a typical appearance of an "inhuman monster", there was hardly much difference in the white night in front of him.

However, through many conversations before, John has clearly realized that the girl who looks like an ordinary human girl in front of him is also a dead body!

"What am I thinking now? I can't be easily deceived by a look and take off my guard!"

John soon shook his head secretly and felt a little ashamed of his relaxation at the moment he saw each other's true face - he is also an old man in the workshop. He has been responsible for many dangerous assignments over the years. Unexpectedly, he will still be distracted by this appearance in such a dangerous place.

You know, many times, even if it's just a moment of relaxation, you will lose your life! Lessons like this have never been lacking, have they?

It's a long story. In fact, John was just a little stunned. He quickly responded. He immediately put his mind back, and then reached out and gently accepted the kindness handed to him by the opposite direction - that is, the gray robe.

"Thank you."

"Yes."

Generally speaking, little white night's words are still not much, at most, it is only better than when he has never been in contact with humans in the past. After getting along with Hermione and them for this period of time, some of her strangers finally dared not even talk to strangers. Even this time, she was finally assigned such a small task of going out to pick up people for the first time.

Watching John put his robe on his shoulder, although it was really too small, it was always better than nothing. The white night nodded slightly. Then he turned again and took the lead in moving forward.

"Let's go! The eldest sister is still waiting... The eldest sister is always more careful than me. She knows you're going to go. She must have prepared steaming black tea for you - the master said that many humans like to drink that."

John, who followed quickly, listened to the girl's words, but he couldn't help feeling... A kind of unspeakable strangeness.

"Black tea"? Is it really the kind of "black tea" people usually drink? In addition to the pretty good impression left by the girl's day and night, John would not be surprised to see that the so-called "black tea" is actually a large cup of boiled and fishy plasma in the face of this frozen city full of corpses.

"'full of living corpses'? Huh? Wait!"

Suddenly, John was stunned again, as if he suddenly realized something.

"Since entering the city, why haven't you seen any other living corpses?"

Yes, although today's London has indeed been sealed by cold ice, he has seen several fork roads and many open houses along the way. But apart from the girl Baiye and himself, Leng never met a living creature again.

Once both of them stopped talking, there was only cold and dead silence except the sound of kicking footsteps.

"Those living corpses... Why do they only live outside?" John thought involuntarily.
