Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

If they fail, they can easily shift all the blame onto Zhang Yi.

By creating a conflict between Di Shitian and Zhang Yi, he could reap the benefits regardless of who died.

However, he truly regretted not being able to kill Indra during such a good opportunity.

……

Deep within the Dark Sun Forest, a small, circular clearing has been formed by a rare sight: a twisted mass of dead trees.

The air here seems a little cleaner than elsewhere; at least the maddening whispers are fainter here.

Fen Gu leaned against the trunk of a giant tree that was mostly petrified, and several new cracks appeared on his signature charred bone armor.

Even he would encounter many dangers if he entered this area full of mentally corrupt lunatics.

But here they were safest, because he knew that all the people of the two great empires across the entire moon were frantically searching for them.

Get out, they're all finished!

He carefully checked his surroundings, and only after confirming that it was temporarily safe did he turn his attention to the girl sitting quietly beside him.

Shunliuxing wore an unusually clean white silver moon dress, which was out of place with the surrounding dirty environment.

Her eyes, though clear, stared blankly into the void, her long eyelashes occasionally trembling slightly.

"Give."

Fen Gu took a small, sealed box from his inner pocket. Inside were several nutrient pills that emitted a faint glow. His voice was deep, yet surprisingly gentle.

The girl tilted her head slightly, accurately "looking" in the direction of the sound.

She reached out and accurately took the pill, her movements so fluid that she didn't seem like a blind person.

"Thank you."

Her voice was very soft, like the wind blowing through a wind chime.

As Fen Gu watched her take the pill, his gaze softened for a moment beneath his charred mask.

He swallowed one himself, then continued to warily scan the surrounding deadwood forest.

"How much longer do we have to walk?" Shunliuxing asked softly.

"We're almost there." Burning Bones' voice was steady. "Find the Night Witch, and she can heal your eyes. Then we'll be safe."

He said this many times, but each time he said it, the firmness in his tone never diminished.

Shunliuxing remained silent for a moment, her slender fingers unconsciously stroking the hem of her skirt.

“Burning Bones,” she suddenly asked, “what will happen to the people outside if we just leave like this? Won’t our departure cause them trouble?”

Her question startled Fen Gu slightly. He turned to look at the girl's overly pure face, her lifeless eyes seemingly able to see through people's hearts.

You are not responsible for anyone.

Burning Bones' voice grew even lower, "In this world, being able to live well is the greatest meaning."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, the outside world is no longer what we know. Staying or leaving won't change the outcome."

Upon hearing Fen Gu's words, Shun Liuxing lowered his head slightly, his pale fingers tightening a little.

“But I can feel it,” she said, her voice softening, “that so many people are suffering. Sometimes I can hear them crying, even from so far away.”

She knew her mission from a very young age.

Everyone around her loved her very much and gave her almost everything she wanted.

She absorbed a large amount of precious energy, and although she was not taught any combat skills, she possessed a power that even the Silver Moon Guardians admired.

In her short fifty years of life, she was surrounded by happiness and freedom.

Even if her favorite sister, Xiyue Liunian, told her that sooner or later she would become a spark and sacrifice herself for the supreme beings on the Silver Moon Throne, she could accept it all calmly.

It was that encounter with Burning Bones that changed everything.

She was not afraid of death.

But a tiny bit of selfishness, during the blossoming of young love, led her to take his hand when he arrived on that day, escaping that glamorous cage.
