The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 337 Orphans of the World

Gao Yang fell into silence. After the shock, there was deep frustration.

He felt that in front of the dragon, his strength and intelligence were all beaten down.

"Gao Yang, I'm sorry for taking advantage of you." Long said frankly.

Gao Yang shook his head. He quickly calmed down and tried to be neither humble nor arrogant in front of the boss: "I also hid my talent, so it's even."

"Okay, it's even." Long nodded.

"You said before that I am very similar to you." Gao Yang met Long's gaze, "I didn't think so at the time, but now, I have changed my mind."

Long blinked with interest: "Really?"

"Because we are both betting on dogs." Gao Yang smiled bitterly.

Long smiled, "Yeah, actually, it's not just us, everyone else is gambling. There are very few chips on the card table, and time is limited. If you want to be a winner, rather than being eliminated, everyone will look bad."

What a sharp and vicious metaphor.

Gao Yang sighed, looked at Guima's tombstone, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She obviously came to visit him, but ended up chatting about work with Long here.

"Captain." Gao Yang thought of something else, "Since the ultimate mission you gave me has been completed, can I come back?"

"You decide for yourself." There was a smile on Long's lips: "I can see that you also have true feelings for your companions over there."

Gao Yang answered calmly: "They are all good people."

Long nodded: "If you want to stay there, or even really join them, I respect you."

Gao Yang didn't speak.

Long continued: "I always believe that the fate of awakened people is the same."

At this point, the smile at the corner of Long's mouth disappeared: "Of course, except Qilin and Li."

Gao Yang was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Long looked at Gao Yang: "Maybe I don't have the position to say this, but as a thank you, I have no reservations about you at this moment. Therefore, I want to tell you that Qilin and Li may not be our enemies, but they are in essence with us. I’m not a stranger to this journey.”

Gao Yang chewed this sentence carefully.

"Captain, you are saying that they are just on the way with us, but the destination is different."

"It's very possible." Long replied.

"What do they want to do?" Gao Yang didn't understand.

Long shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, but it will become clear sooner or later."

At this moment, Gao Yang became more and more confused.

Is Long's words worthy of belief?Although everything he said and did seemed to be honest and sincere, didn't he also take advantage of me?
Perhaps, what he is saying now is also a way to alienate me and want to win over me.

If dragons are not worthy of trust, are Qilin and Li worthy of trust?
None of these three people is a light-hearted person. The more they get to know each other, the more they realize that there is no bottom.

Inexplicably, Gao Yang thought of Officer Huang's words again.

——"We are all orphans of the world, abandoned by God long ago."

Gao Yang cursed in a complicated mood: Officer Huang, why do you have so many good quotes? It would be a pity if you didn't change your profession and write articles.

……

Ten minutes later, Gao Yang left Taipingqiao Cemetery.

He did not enter the system immediately, but went home directly. After having lunch with his family, he pretended to go to his room to take a nap, locked the door, closed the curtains, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

He took a deep breath and confirmed again that the "energy" left by the dragon in his body had completely dissipated.

【enter the system】

——Explore the Overlord!If you are lucky, you can deduct it as you like!hurry up!

【Unable to explore】

--Why?Don’t I know his name? I’ve experienced his talent before and explored it, right?

[Target rejection]

--What's the meaning?Say it again?
[Target rejection]

——Could it be said that the dragon’s talent can set up a firewall for itself and refuse to be explored by you?
[It can be understood in this way]

——Why is this? Is it because his talent is the strongest miracle system and his luck system is also a miracle system, so you are suppressed?

【Please explore by yourself】

——What use are you for!
【Exit system】

Gao Yang opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

This dragon is too profound, too mysterious, and too powerful.

Forget it, the first priority right now is the Scarlet Tide.

In the afternoon and evening, Gao Yang stayed at home, stayed with his family, and pretended that nothing happened.

Late at night, Gao Yang hid in his room and quietly performed physical training, then took a shower and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was 9 a.m. the next day. Finally, it was the last day before the scarlet tide.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Gao Yang received an encrypted text message from the Qilin Union, which he repeated three times, telling everyone to gather at the White Tiger branch before dark, and before midnight at the latest. This was a dead limit.

Gao Yang was very active during lunch, probably because it was his last meal in this home.

"Yangyang, come here." Dad picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and threw it into Gao Yang's bowl: "Your favorite pork ribs."

"Thank you, Dad!" Gao Yang threw the ribs into his mouth and chewed them: "Yeah! It's so delicious!"

"Brother, you are acting weird today." Gao Xinxin said quietly. "Is there any?" Gao Yang felt a little guilty.

"I also think you talk a bit too much." Mom smiled softly.

"Haha, I must be too excited." The father in the wheelchair smiled at Gao Yang: "I'm going to the club with Xiao Kai, and finally I don't have to stay at home and be disciplined."

"Wow, you discovered this." Gao Yang followed his father's words.

"Hey, brat, when you really leave home for a while, you'll know how good your home is." Dad said.

Gao Yang smiled and said nothing, and continued to eat.

After lunch, Gao Yang wanted to go to the kitchen to help his mother wash the dishes, but he resisted because this behavior was too abnormal.

He sat on the sofa and watched TV absentmindedly.

Grandma walked out of the bedroom, quietly came over and sat down next to Gao Yang.

"Yangyang, are you leaving soon?" Grandma asked.

"Yes, Xiaokai is here to pick me up." Gao Yang glanced at his phone: "It should be soon."

Grandma smiled cheerfully and grabbed one of Gao Yang's hands, "Here."

Gao Yang lowered his head and saw that it was 200 yuan.

"Grandma, you are..."

"Grandma doesn't have much money. Don't be too little. Take it and go over there and buy whatever you want to eat."

"Grandma, you really don't need it!" Gao Yang refused, "I'm not going on a long trip. I'll be back in a few days."

"Take it!" Grandma insisted, "This is a little bit of Grandma's wishes."

Gao Yang thought for a while, stopped refusing, and accepted with a smile: "Grandma, you are so kind to me."

"Haha, of course, you are my precious grandson." Then, grandma smiled and put her hand into her pocket, with a mysterious look on her face.

Two seconds later, she took out a box of osmanthus cake wrapped in tin foil: "What is this?"

"Wow!" Gao Yang had already guessed that it was this, so he still pretended to be surprised and took it, stuffing it into his pocket: "Thank you, grandma!"

"Haha, eat on the way." Grandma blinked deliberately and joked: "Don't let my sister know."

For a time, the past flashed back.

Grandma loves sweets. When Gao Yang was a child, she would always have various candies in her pocket, one of which was sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Gao Yang and Gao Xinxin couldn't forget it after eating it once, they were so greedy.

But at that time, my sister was suffering from tooth decay and could not eat. Grandma had to secretly give it to Gao Yang to eat.

Once, Gaoyang's test scores dropped seriously. His father was very angry and scolded his son.

Gao Yang was angry and locked himself in the room. He refused to eat dinner even though his stomach was growling with hunger.

Late at night, when the family went to bed, Gao Yang was too hungry to toss and turn to sleep. At this time, grandma quietly knocked on Gao Yang's door.

Grandma sat down by Gao Yang's bed, and while stroking Gao Yang's head to comfort him, she took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake wrapped in tin foil from her pocket.

Gao Yang immediately took it and devoured it. It was the most delicious osmanthus cake he had ever tasted in his memory.

Just after eating, Gao Xinxin stood at the door at some point.

"Grandma feeds my brother, but not me! Grandma favors boys over girls!"

"Shh... keep your voice down!" Grandma felt guilty and hurriedly pulled her sister into the room, closed the door, took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from her pocket, and stuffed it into her hand.

Gao Xinxin stopped being angry and started eating happily.

Later, when the two brothers and sisters grew up and ate hundreds of snacks, they no longer liked osmanthus cake. It was so sweet and powdery that it was very sticky to the mouth and difficult to swallow.

But the candies that grandma bought were still the same "old antiques" as before.

Every time grandma gave it to Gao Yang and Gao Xinxin, the two brothers and sisters would pretend to be happy and take it, then put it away casually and rarely eat it again.

In fact, these grandmothers all know it, but every time she cares about the two brothers and sisters, it has become a constant habit to stuff their hands with sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"Ding Ling—"

The doorbell rang, and Gao Yang was pulled back from his thoughts.

Gao Xinxin stepped forward to open the door. Wang Zikai was standing outside with a big suitcase, smiling brightly and full of enthusiasm: "Hey, Xinxin, where's your brother, he's leaving!"

"Brother, your good brother is here!" Gao Xinxin shouted a little bit eccentrically.

Gao Yang immediately stood up, picked up his duffel bag and walked to the door, "You're on time!"

"That's it! Hurry, we have to report at three o'clock in the afternoon, I'm afraid of being late!" Wang Zikai said, "Brother, what do you think my chances of becoming a professional player are?"

"With your strength, you still have [-]%!" Gao Yang opened his eyes and told lies.

"Haha, let's go!"

Gao Yang turned around: "Grandma, dad, mom, sister, I'm leaving."

Grandma was still sitting on the sofa, smiling kindly: "Let's go, don't be late."

Dad was sitting in a wheelchair, watering the potted plants on the balcony. He looked back at the entrance with some difficulty: "Yangyang is gone."

Mom had just finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen. She wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Be careful on the road and don't cause trouble outside."

"Hurry up, so no one will grab the computer from me!" Gao Xinxin stood next to the water dispenser, holding a water glass with a look of disgust on his face.

"See you later."

Gao Yang changed his shoes and closed the door with a smile.
