Chapter 312 11 Hibernation
The system notification sounded, which restored Xu Si's consciousness and gradually calmed down the alarm that had been blaring inside the carriage.
"Xu Si, I'm so tired, I want to sleep!"
Despite being almost completely exhausted, Yi still forced herself to greet Xu Si before burying her face in his forehead.
"One by one!" Xu Si suddenly woke up, straightened up, and touched his forehead, but it was empty.
He turned to look at Yi Yi's bed, where there was nothing but a bare [Heart of the Ice Abyss].
Xu Si's connection with Yi Yi's consciousness received no further response from Yi Yi.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into that deeper "sea of consciousness".
In that sea of consciousness illuminated by the light of the star anchor, he "saw" one by one.
She curled up into a tiny cocoon of light, hovering below the star anchor. The light was extremely dim, and the slow, fluctuating rhythm, like breathing, was unsettling.
The once vibrant and ever-responsive spirit of his was now dormant, as if in hibernation.
"One by one," Xu Si felt a bone-chilling cold for the first time.
He never imagined that his recklessness would lead to him bearing all the consequences.
Xu Si sat on the cold car floor, remaining silent for a long time.
He thought that once he was promoted to the median sequence, he could take the risks he could afford.
He thought that sequence 4 had already surpassed almost all other sequences.
However, he gained a lot from both adventures, but lost even more.
At this moment, he became afraid.
He was afraid that his recklessness might cause something to happen to the little guy who had been with him all this time.
He feared that this spiritual comfort would be gone from him forever.
The lights inside Nirvana automatically adjusted to the softest brightness, but they couldn't illuminate the frustration in his heart.
My fingertips brushed across my brow, where there was nothing but emptiness, with only a faint trace of life's rhythm remaining.
"I'm sorry..." Xu Si's consciousness gently touched the cocoon of light, conveying silent regret and guilt.
The cocoon of light seemed to glow faintly for a moment, then quickly returned to normal without responding.
Xu Si even thought it was his imagination.
A strange sense of loss completely enveloped him; he had thought he had gotten used to loneliness after all this time.
It turned out that he had gotten used to her company, her chatter, and her unreserved trust.
Only when he lost it did he realize its weight.
There is a kind of pain that may be called learning to cherish something only after it's gone.
"Commander, your vital signs are completely stable, your energy level exceeds the baseline by 178%, and the assessment of your body structure strength... cannot be quantified, exceeding the detection limit."
"In addition, Fu Xiaojian requested dialogue 218 times, and Luo Xiaotian requested dialogue 327 times. There are a total of 3 people with intrusion intentions, and they have been warned in accordance with your reserve instructions!"
The neutral voice of Nirvana rang out at just the right moment, breaking the deathly silence in the carriage.
Xu Si slowly stood up and stretched his body.
Looking at the screen in Nirvana, the state of the people outside the car was being displayed.
Fu Xiaojian paced back and forth, his brows furrowed. Jiao Jiao leaned on Su Su's shoulder, seemingly crying. Xiao Luo bit her lip and stood guard by the car...
Everyone is waiting for him.
He took a deep breath, his starry eyes shining like stars.
He had spent so much effort to give his new life, and he must not wallow in regret.
"Nirvana, open the car door." Xu Si re-bound the [Heart of the Ice Abyss] to Yi Yi's newest support.
The car door slid open silently.
The cold night wind from the mudflats rushed into the carriage, and Xu Si floated out.
All eyes immediately turned to them.
"Red Hair!" Jiao Jiao was the first to rush over, but she suddenly stopped three steps away.
She stared at Xu Si with wide eyes, her face instantly changing color.
Just a moment ago he seemed extremely nervous, but in the blink of an eye he became arrogant and haughty.
But he always felt that there was something different about the red-haired boy in front of him.
There seemed to be a faint light flowing beneath his skin, and he stood there like a sword yet to be drawn.
"Are you...you...alright?" Her voice trembled, but her tone eventually softened.
Xu Si shook his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you all."
Fu Xiaojian strode closer, his sharp gaze sweeping over Xu Si: "..."
He wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to begin.
"It's good that you're alright. Everyone can go home now! It's so late, you should eat something or go to sleep."
Fu Xiaojian looked at him again and again, but in the end he still didn't ask.
As long as the team's anchor is okay, then there's no problem at all.
Before leaving, Tashan smiled and punched Xu Si in the chest.
It seems to be both dissatisfaction with his brother concealing the danger and the greatest recognition that his brother is safe and sound.
Xiao Luo wanted to go up and ask Xu Si about his condition, but he was currently unable to speak.
He could share his spiritual senses, but he knew better than anyone how depressed Brother Dao was.
So he could only stand there silently, watching with bated breath.
His mere presence alone represented everything.
Lin Zhennan, Pei Xiu, and other new members stood on the periphery, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
They clearly felt the oppressive aura emanating from Xu Si, which was far stronger than before.
Hinata Aoi hoisted the large umbrella, her smile seemingly capable of melting away the chill of the night.
She looked at Xu Si quietly, her eyes bright as if she were examining a rare treasure.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
With a reluctant farewell, Xiao Luo returned to her car amidst Xu Si's comforting gaze.
Jiao Jiao was also dragged away by Su Su.
Although Su Su didn't know what had happened to Xu Si, she knew that Xu Si's condition was definitely not good and needed to be adjusted.
After everyone left, Xu Si returned to the roof of the Nirvana vehicle.
He sat down cross-legged, his starry eyes gazing at the night sky.
The blood moon was obscured by clouds, with only a few sparse stars twinkling through the gaps.
Consciousness once again sank into that "sea of consciousness".
The cocoon of light remained suspended below the star anchor, flickering faintly but steadily.
Xu Si could sense that Yi Yi's life essence was not damaged, but it was overdrawn and needed time to recover.
"Get some sleep," he said softly.
"This time, it's my turn to protect you."
As night deepened, the damp chill of the mudflats condensed into fine water droplets on the exposed rocks.
The campfire had gone out, leaving only dark red embers flickering in the wind.
Xu Si sat motionless on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle.
Within the body, a brand-new sequence of energy flows slowly, like a gentle galaxy.
Like a river, like an abyss, like a waterfall.
The "divine body" is imbued with every inch of new life.
That feeling of perfect harmony and understanding was unprecedented, as if every gesture and movement could attract starlight.
But he felt little joy.
As for the system panel update, he didn't investigate it further.
Without sufficient strength to support it, the more you know, the more you will lose.
The only thing that's actually useful to him right now is that he can now see the latest progress of the sequence visually.
In the past, he relied on his own feelings, but now he is actually quantifying things.
This is also the greatest convenience that the system has provided him this time.
(February 7, 2026. Can you believe it? The power went out while I was updating. I finished this on my phone. This is the only update today. I'll make up for it tomorrow! Sorry everyone!)
