Chapter Seventy-Three: The Scorched Ruins

"This is ......!!"

Looking at the 'octopus' whose appearance had changed drastically, Mo Xie had a feeling of being struck by lightning.

Unexpected deformation,And the form after this transformation,The poisonous tongue Lori in front of you who created this machine is not a joke before.。

She does have a knack for building excavators.

No, if the material. If there are enough tools or something, building a humanoid mecha is probably not impossible for the girl in front of her, who was far underestimated before.

"This epoch-making piece is missing some parts and is now a half-finished prototype. Erin's posture changed from a crossed waist to a chest hug, and the front of her dirty princess dress was particularly eye-catching under this posture, but she was still young and unexpected, "What's the matter, I'm really a genius!"

"How soon will this machine be completed?" Needless to say, Mo Xie had already realized the function of this 'octopus' and the convenience it could bringβ€”with this kind of machine, it could at least cut the scheduled time by more than half.

At this point, he had fully believed in Erin's mechanical level, and it seemed that Erin had also gained mastery of mechanics while getting 'Whispering of the Heart', although he didn't know what the latter mechanic was, but such a real ability had been demonstrated.

In fact, Lin Ming also has a similar ability (once assembled a radar to find the location of the convoy), but after the two of them fell out, Lin Ming turned off the 'memory sharing' for Mo Ye so that Mo Ye did not understand this stubble.

Otherwise, Mo Xie could use the time limit given by the Holy Book to force Lin Ming to make machinery.

"If there are enough people, we can assemble the final body tonight, and now I need labor! a lot of labor!" Erin rubbed her hands and looked at Mo Ye with a look of hope, as if she was trying to persuade the boss to allocate funds to the department manager.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Alice, you don't have to worry about the personnel, I can help if necessary. There was almost no hesitation, and Mo Ye directly agreed.

For the time being, the role of machinery is still much more than manpower, and machinery does not get tired.

"One more thing!" Seeing that Mo Xie had agreed to send more men to himself, Erin continued, her tone as straightforward as ever, "Can you get 'God' to change some dishes in the evening? I want to eat a beef burger! and a fruit salad!"

'God' is like a chef in a restaurant......

"......" Mo Ye was silent, "I try to ...... as much as possible"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The 10-kilometre journey is not far, and even in the desert climate it takes only half an hour to drive.

The destination is still ruins, or rather, according to the habit of Claire and others, they always stop when they encounter ruins.

Ruins, whether new or old, encountered before and unencountered before, they can always find some intelligence from the ruins.

Especially the ruins in front of you are amazingly informative at a glance......

Claire ...... got out of the car, and K. Matt leaned down next to Claire, who was looking at the ruins with a telescope, and the girl saw an ominous expression on the latter's face after years of survival.

The people in the convoy professionally parked the car on a high slope, and with the cover of the slope, it was impossible to peek into the presence of the convoy from the ruins below.

"Shh

Claire motioned for K. Matt to whisper, then handed her the binoculars.

Although the situation below was already faintly visible when he approached, K. Matt still held the telescope in front of him.

As far as the eye could see, there was scorched earth and severed limbs, and it was vaguely discernible that the propeller belonging to the helicopter had been inserted into the sand.

Everything was covered in a scorched black, and only a few erected iron pillars and fences remained in the ruins, indicating that this place had been fended off by the zombies outside for a long, long time.

Until a certain catastrophe occurs, or until a certain person comes.

"One...... Two...... Three...... Four...... This is it!"

For some reason, K. Matt had thought at first glance that Mo Xie was here, and now that she had counted the number of helicopter wreckage on the ground with her binoculars, she was completely sure of it.

Only such an anxious battlefield is worthy of that man.

K. Matt thought.

"It's just that there's nothing here, I'm afraid we're still late. Claire sighed.

This land has changed beyond recognition, and no one can see that there is a base under this land. For some reason, the people at the Umbrella Base didn't clean up the battlefield, and perhaps something more tricky was going on inside them.

"Da!"

K. Matt was unaware of Claire's sighs, and she placed the binoculars on the ground and got up.

"Don't you understand? There's no one you're looking for here!No one survives a battle capable of wreaking havoc of this magnitude!" something seemed to explode in Claire's mind, destroying half of the vehicle, two days and two nights of waiting, and the search from dawn to the present, and the devastated outcome of the devastation.

Time is spent in vain, and the final result is better than giving up the pursuit from the beginning.

Looking at the battlefield ruins below, Claire can imagine the resistance of the captives, the fight of blood and fire, and the battlefield that was finally consumed by flames.

Nine times out of ten, the knight who lost his sword had become one of the countless charred corpses below.

Can't blame Claire for being so pessimistic, she just underestimated Mo Ye's strength too much.

K. Matt didn't answer, the man's sword was still on her back, and the weight of the sword itself symbolized the weight of power and responsibility.

"If we had been earlier......," she murmured, standing in the wind, her clothes flying.

The scorching smell in the wind had not subsided, it was a nostorial smell, but the girl took a deep breath.

At this time, she had already "understood" that the abnormal movement of the 'Huolin Sword' earlier should be that the master was in danger, and the loyal sword wanted to return to the master's side.

Perhaps, he was still alive at that time......

K. Matt looked out at the landscape of stumps and severed arms, and his eyes were too hard to make out any trace of the man's existence.

"Uncle Ethan, take me there, and at least bring the sword to him. ”

As she spoke, the girl looked tired for the first time in her eyes.

She hadn't closed her eyes for a day and a night, and what supported her standing here was the sword she was carrying on her back, and the figure of the owner of the sword.

The oncoming wind was a little strong, and the girl's figure shook a little.

Under the scorching sun of the desert, the world is a little dizzy......

This was K. Matt's last thought before the world went dark.
