MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 107 Sea
Before leaving, Chi Yongge checked Bruno for the last time.
Bruno's infection traits reduced.
However, he is only an individual after all. More samples are needed to prove the safety of the inhibitor and whether it can change the life of the Mole Man—if not cured, it will be more "human".
This requires long-term research, experimentation and observation, and Chi Yongge couldn't stay and pay attention to his state all the time. After weighing the matter, the two sides decided to let Bruno follow him to the alliance.
They return early in the morning.
Di Wen took the Mole Man and sent them to the ground. As the aircraft took off, Shi Yuan leaned in front of the window, watching the Mole Man wave goodbye to them.
"Bon voyage!" they said.
The war robot "Sunset" stands tall in the rain, this time it is no longer for war and killing, but for guarding human beings. The aircraft flew past it, passing the imperial palace, the Sunrise Square where the former king died, and the lion flag of the empire.
Then, Leton took the past of a princess and disappeared in the wind and rain.
The journey back was generally smooth.
Several people took turns to fly the aircraft on duty. The weather was gloomy and colder, so it was best for sleeping. The cold rain seeped in through the window, Shi Yuan was wrapped in a quilt on the bed, concentrated on taking care of the scales, and fell asleep after taking care of them.
Lu Tinghan often communicates with the main city, or wears an optical brain to command through holographic images. Sometimes he was busy until late, Shi Yuan was already asleep, and he went to bed lightly, Shi Yuan would always roll into his arms with warmth.
Delta Abyss has been restless, and the scope of influence is getting bigger and bigger. Their speed is very slow. Fortunately, they don't need to explore other cities.
Shi Yuan's Sudoku game has been done page after page, and he has mastered the trick and is becoming more and more proficient.
Lu Tinghan was reading materials at the table, while Shi Yuan was writing Sudoku by his side, occasionally studying playing cards, and occasionally poking his head to see what Lu Tinghan was looking at.
—Every time it is related to "deep diving".
Shi Yuan remembered that Professor Guan said that the alliance needs Lu Tinghan to go to the bottom of the abyss.
Shi Yuan couldn't imagine how dangerous that would be, but he remembered that Professor Guan wiped his reading glasses and told him hesitantly that it would probably be a journey that would never return.
Shi Yuan tilted his head and studied the information for a while, the winding words and formulas dazzled people, so he gave up.
Lu Tinghan didn't mention "deep diving" to him, and he didn't take the initiative to ask. At night they hug each other and sleep, there are thunderstorms outside the window, and the house is warm and cozy.
On the 24th day after leaving Leon, an accident happened.
They arrived at an ancient battlefield again. More than a hundred years ago, the alliance and the empire fought here, and an unknown number of bones and metals were buried in the land, and so many dreams were made.
Maybe it was because there were too many dead, the soldiers' bones were infected by the abyss, or maybe it was because of other reasons, the aircraft detected a large number of infected creatures in front of them—they were hidden in the depths of the thunderclouds, erratic, like a group of wandering ghosts.
Lu Tinghan concluded that it might not be safe to proceed hastily.
So the aircraft hovered.
This stop is nearly two days. They were in the middle of the ancient battlefield, surrounded by raging black clouds and monsters. To make matters worse, the instruments were affected by the turbulence and thunder, and the signal was intermittent and unclear.
They couldn't find their way out anyway.
On the second day when he was forced to stay, Shi Yuan was stupefied by Lu Tinghan before going to bed, he was sleeping soundly, and suddenly sat up.
"What's wrong?" Lu Tinghan asked in a low voice, "The thunder is too loud?"
"No." Shi Yuan listened attentively, "Can't you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"Someone...someone is calling me."
This is not the first time Shi Yuan has said this.
On the way to Leon he said the same thing.
Lu Tinghan asked: "What kind of voice is it?"
"I can't tell." Shi Yuan thought for a while, "I just know, they are calling me."
Soon those voices died away, drowned out by lightning and rumbling thunder.
The next morning, Shi Yuan heard this again.
sound.
For the next two days, the voice called him intermittently, only he could hear it.
On the fifth day they were trapped in the ancient battlefield, Adjutant Ning was a little worried: "When did this end? We've been stuck here forever."
"It is estimated that too many people have died here." Chi Yongge speculated, "If you have a lot of resentment, you will easily recruit monsters."
"What kind of theory do you have?" Adjutant Ning said, "I thought you were materialistic. If you really want to explain, it should be which abyss is closer to here, or the bones attract monsters."
Chi Yongge shrugged, and said quietly: "It's all possible. But sometimes there are such mysterious and mysterious things, otherwise how can you explain that the school of fish in the sky followed us all the way, and didn't attack us until Dunton ? How do you explain forest deer and jellyfish? Monsters shouldn’t be sane.”
Adjutant Ning couldn't explain it, so the topic stopped there.
They still can't go.
Shi Yuan stood in front of the window, facing the dark world.
He curled the tip of his tail in confusion.
Lu Tinghan asked him: "Did you hear the voice again?"
"Yes." Shi Yuan said, "They have been waiting for me."
Lu Tinghan stood side by side with him, looking at the dark distance, this rain has been falling for a hundred years. He said, "Do you want to take a look?"
Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Go outside?"
"Well, it's good to explore the way by the way." Lu Tinghan said, "The aircraft is still here, it's best not to go too far."
Shi Yuan's eyes lit up: "Then I'm leaving now?"
"I'll go with you." Lu Tinghan said.
Lu Tinghan talked to the others, took the communicator, and kept in touch at any time. Then he and Shi Yuan put on raincoats and walked into the battlefield.
As soon as he got off the aircraft, the violent wind blew him back and forth, and his face was whipped like a whip, causing pain.
Shi Yuan had a tail to keep his balance, but he still couldn't stand firmly, but fortunately, Lu Tinghan grabbed him. The two each took a strong flashlight and walked forward steadily.
The voice of calling is faintly visible, the wind is hunting in the ears, and the rain is even more noisy and noisy.
The two of them were head to head, and Lu Tinghan had to speak at the top of his voice: "How far is that voice?"
"I don't know—" Shi Yuan answered in the same voice, "I don't know—"
He slipped and nearly fell, but was grabbed by Lu Tinghan. Looking back, he saw the wreckage of the war robot sinking into the soil, revealing half of the mechanical arm. If it was scrapped, he would stop him.
Shi Yuan also called it broken copper and rotten iron.
Just walking forward so wet and heavy, they saw a few battle flags.
Regardless of the Xuejianhua flag or the Xiongshi flag, they are all faded, rotten like a rag, and can only be identified by the faint background color.
The battlefield seemed boundless.
Shi Yuan saw strange things under his feet, such as machine fragments and gears, such as a heavy machine gun, such as half a bone suspected to be a human being, or a large piece of metal plate. Lu Tinghan told him that it was probably a tank wreckage.
Going forward, something "cracked" hit the top of the head.
"Hail—" Lu Tinghan whispered in his ear, "Hail is falling—"
Shi Yuan saw hail for the first time.
Before he could understand it, he received a "slap!" on his forehead.
Shi Yuan: "Ah!"
He touched his forehead and felt some ice scum.
Lu Tinghan seemed to be smiling, and he was quite happy.
Shi Yuan gave him a look of "You have no quality", and Lu Tinghan asked in his ear, "Are you still going forward?"
"Of course." Shi Yuan said, "I won't...ah!"
He took another hit.
The rain was mixed with hail.
Fortunately, the hailstone was very small, and it didn't hurt too much when it was hit, and Lu Tinghan didn't have to worry about smashing Shi Yuan stupidly. When Shi Yuan heard the sound of them hitting the raincoat, he found it quite novel. He thought, so the hail is like this, and the documentary didn't lie to him.
Walking forward, I don't know how long it has passed, and there are "huahua-" and "huahua-" sounds in the distance.
Shi Yuan has not had time to recognize
, I heard Lu Tinghan say: "Be careful!"
Shi Yuan:? !
The surroundings were too dark, Shi Yuan didn't see the **** clearly, stepped on the wet **** and lost his balance. In order to hold him back, Lu Tinghan was also dragged down together!
The two bumped and rolled downhill, Lu Tinghan was protecting Shi Yuan's head, water splashed all over their bodies. As the world was spinning, Lu Tinghan stretched out his hand and tugged—
He pulled a mechanical arm stuck on the slope.
The tumble stopped.
The mechanical arm was badly rusted and got stuck in the crevice of the rock. Shi Yuan was dizzy, he shook his head to react, and said in Lu Tinghan's arms, "It's so dangerous..."
"It's going to break." Lu Tinghan said.
Shi Yuan:?
Shi Yuan asked, "Eh?"
Lu Tinghan replied, "Yes."
Shi Yuan: "Ah."
As soon as the voice fell, the mechanical arm broke in response! They hugged each other and rolled down again.
This time, they rolled in embarrassment for an unknown how long before they stopped at the bottom of the slope.
"...Are you okay?" Lu Tinghan asked.
"It's okay..." Shi Yuan wiped the water from his face and sat up dizzily, "I just got dizzy..."
The sound of "哗哗—" in their ears became louder, and there was a salty and wet smell in the wind, and their fingers and faces were stained with sand.
fine sand.
"Huh huh—"
"Huh huh—"
Lu Tinghan looked into the distance and said, "Shi Yuan, look."
Shi Yuan looked along.
The sky in the northeast is dimly bright, and the sunrise in the clouds is distant and hazy, casting a pale light.
He saw the sea.
The black sea, the magnificent waves in the rain, and the broken snow-white ice floes.
The black and white are distinct, boundless, and the same is true for thousands of years. The waves rush against the rocks and sand, dilapidated huts, abandoned fishing boats, and lighthouses stand alone on the shore, like an ancient picture scroll.
"..." Shi Yuan opened his eyes wide, "Sea."
"Yes." Lu Tinghan said, his gray-blue eyes were also fixed, "It's the sea."
