Chapter 64: The Leaving Hometown(1/2)
Bai Xiu took Gu Xiaoman to leave the Temple of Light in Xiyin City.
But soon after, Bai Xiu left and returned.
"Miss Meng, the person you are waiting for is not only Xiaoman, nor is it just me."
Bai Xiu took a deep breath, stood in front of the towering and bright throne of the light, and asked seriously: "I came here this time, but I actually asked... Is that person still alive?"
Meng Xizhou's expression is complicated.
The pictures revealed by the Taboo Bookstore vary from person to person.
And the word "destiny" is so wonderful.
Sometimes, because of a word, the fate of countless people will change as a result.
"I can't say it."
Meng Xizhou thought for a moment, shook her head, and said solemnly: "Mr. Baixiu, it doesn't matter who I am waiting for. What's important is...I can feel that that day is coming."
That day... is coming soon?
Bai Xiu wanted to say something, but in the end he wanted to say something but stopped.
These four years.
He traveled almost every [Old World] ruins along the border of Beizhou. Mu Wanqiu gave him an extremely detailed and complete map. He went to explore every doubt marked on the map... There were indeed fragments of the starship civilization left over from those places, but no matter how you search, you could not find any clues about [Candle Extinguishing].
There is no suitable fire.
Unable to touch the origin.
Even though he is as beautiful as white sleeves, he is still blocked by this natural barrier.
He also wanted to enter the Tower of Source... But even Meng Xizhou, who had melted the light fire, was not sure to face Qinglong. Now, what would he do to participate in this magical war?
"I want to go to the Taboo Bookstore again."
Take a deep breath.
Xiaosleeved looked at the goddess of light in front of her.
If fate really shows him, if that legendary bow is really destined to him...
Then he wants to try again.
Try again, can you find a ray of light in the endless varnish?
...
...
"How long has it been since we left our hometown...?"
"Four years and six months."
"Tsk, remember that I want to go back so clearly?"
"Shh, silence! The Bishop is coming soon!"
In the deep sky, the stars were dim, and a huge blue starship sailed in the void, with the air flow chaotic and blocked by the source energy shield. The inside of the starship was only slightly bumpy.
Several cabin cleaning staff were whispering.
But soon the voice came to an abrupt end, and several figures came from the corridor in the distance. Bishop Ranville would patrol the area every week, but today Ranville stood respectfully behind one person with a few believers, and his attitude was even more respectful and flattering than the cleaning staff.
"Master Haitong, we are still 20% away from the progress of the collection task this week. When the starship is parked to the windless belt, the difficulty of collecting Mithril will be greatly reduced. Can I apply for a delivery delay?"
The saint of Haitong paused.
After leaving Nanzhou, the starship cut off external energy supply.
Traveling in the [Old World] is not an easy task. Even if the starship has an independent energy output system, it is far from enough to support the survival of tens of thousands of people. Relying on the internal ecosystem of the starship to proliferate by itself is far from enough.
The Storm needs to be anchored regularly.
The extraordinary people of the church will take this opportunity to fly airships from the berthing port, collect enough Mithril in the windless zone, and extraordinary fuel containing source quality.
The former is the raw material for repairing the cabin.
The latter is a temporary reserve when the ecosystem cannot provide.
Once you encounter an accident, these extraordinary fuels can come in handy.
At the beginning of the voyage, the Storm could fully bear the loss of these energy sources. Even if it was occasionally attacked by small source storms, there was no pressure... But as time went by, everyone on the ship gradually realized the difficulty of escaping famine in the Starship era.
Because when the Storm Church selected "escapers", it only selected elites and powerful people.
So almost all those who stepped into this starship... are young people.
They are able to work, are young and powerful, but they also bring great burdens to this starship.
In four years, the population of Starship increased by 20%, which was the result of the church's efforts to restrain it. The nature of any ethnic group is to reproduce, grow, and leave behind fire, but the additional 20% of the population has damaged the ecological environment inside the Storm.
The self-reproductive resources in the starship have begun to be short of.
Several saints in the church were in charge of the same area, and their archbishops and bishops all needed to lead teams out to collect "resources".
At the beginning, the Storm would only be docked in the windless belt.
now……
Several emergencies have occurred. The Storm temporarily anchored in the harsh unknown void and sent the church's extraordinary people to collect resources. This behavior is indeed dangerous, but the church has no choice.
The "powerful and powerful" who had a noble status in Nanzhou came here and lost all their halo.
At the beginning of the voyage, the storm as beautiful as a "utopia", began to disagree and dispute due to shortage of resources, and the saints were not as harmonious as before.
For all this, Storm God followed the old tradition.
No matter what you ask, you will turn a deaf ear.
indeed……
In the eyes of the Storm God, there was never the word "life". In his opinion, this extraordinary person in the entire starship was just a toy to maintain his own dominance and status.
He wanted to build a giant ship that rides the wind and waves.
Those people who believe in themselves are the water droplets that hold up the giant ship.
There is an old saying that "water can carry a boat and can also overturn the boat." This old saying is just a joke for the Storm God who controls the entire sea. As long as he wants, he can pick up every drop of water in the infinite sea.
So... in the eyes of the Storm God, the water in this world cannot cover his boat.
"I can't wait for the windless belt."
Haitong said coldly: "Just today, bring back the remaining 20%."
Ranville was stunned.
He looked out through the porthole, and a hint of fear appeared.
The real world outside the porthole is different from the virtual ecosystem inside the Storm. It seems that there will never be daylight there, and it will be pitch black no matter whenever it looks.

The environment in the turbulent zone is extremely harsh... For extraordinary people, if they want to do their daily work, they either develop the field or wear Yuanjia from the Beizhou Underground Research Institute, and the independent research and development team of Nanzhou arranged by the Shenzuo master, imitate the "exoskeleton device" made by Yuanjia. The life-saving effect is very poor and can be almost ignored.
In this case, the collection task was carried out, and one hundred people went out of the gate, and in the end only more than a dozen were able to come back.
Extremely inefficient.
"I've selected the list for you."
Haitong took out a stack of paper from her arms and handed it to Ranville. He said calmly: "This collection task is quite heavy, and it requires at least one hundred people... You can complete it quickly."
"Master Haitong..."
Ranville grabbed the paper and wanted to say something else, but the latter just waved his hand coldly and interrupted it.
The atmosphere of the entire corridor became cold and solemn.
Ranville was very unwilling to give up, but he could do nothing.
Just as he was about to leave silently—
A figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor.
The man was wearing a hideous mask that revealed his dragon teeth, wearing two swords on his waist, and his long hair was hanging down to his waist. Although he was the same as him as the saint robe of the Storm Church, the other party's robe was bright red.
This is the person that Saint Haitong wants to see the least, no doubt.
"Red Dragon."
Haitong looked gloomy and said disgusted: "What are you doing here? Have you arranged all the tasks ordered by the Lord God?"
Starships are anchored in the turbulent belt, allowing church members to go out to perform their missions...
Of course it is not a coincidence.
The resources of Storm are beginning to be short of, and there are only two ways to solve the resource problem.
Open source or reduce expenditure.
Open source cannot be achieved, starship technology cannot be promoted, and has sailed for many years, and has not seen a berth suitable for long-term mining.
To be continued...
