When Barrett returned to Marry, it was two days later.

In fact, Barrett understands that first, they need to delay time and wait for the so-called high-level to come, and secondly, they need to figure out why Barrett is okay.

A variety of light and dark detection methods are used.

But nothing came of it.

Barrett, who returned to Marry, was finally free.

Hanyu and Ace, who had been worried for three days, finally put their minds at ease.

"I've heard that there's a beast riot in Yutoka." Hanyu is still able to know some gossip, and she has her own means.

Utoka is the base where Barrett went, located four hundred kilometers southeast of the city of Marre, and the way to Kandahar.

It's just that the base is about thirty kilometers away from the town of Yutoka.

"Well, I didn't have to be there for long." Barrett changed the clothes Salrod had given him.

It's not a good thing to dress like Juntian's soldiers, at least the civilians in the city hide when they see him.

"What do we do next?" Ace didn't care what happened to Juntian.

Barrett thought about it, and he said slowly: "I know a lot of new information, and the next trip is to go to Kandahar, and then to Gilmoti." ”

He was a little concerned that the pictures that Long Xian showed him were all taken near the Bamiyan Gorge.

But as far as he knew, there was not even a settlement near Bamiyan, not to mention people, so why were there so many beasts there?

There are even "ghosts" that wander in the wilderness.

As he spoke, Barrett fiddled with the ring on his hand with his fingers, and gradually, he noticed that there was something changing on it.

The original red spar was mixed with meaning blood, but now there is a little more thing missing, a wisp of slime.

I don't know how I got in.

"Gilmoti............ "Of course Hanyu knew that place, and after Juntian took control of it, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to find the miracle of the year.

But it took four years, and Juntian's combat troops never even reached the ten floors underground, let alone the thirteenth floor further down.

And it is said that the fifteenth floor of the ruins has not even received a trace of information.

"We can't get in on our own." Hanyu reminded her that she knew the dangers were inside.

"I understand, so we've got to think of something else." Barrett took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then returned it to Ace.

“？” Ace looked at Barrett in confusion, she didn't quite understand.

"I'm afraid I'll have a hard time finding that place with you, so I'll return the map to you first." Barrett increasingly found that the danger he was going to face was getting bigger and bigger, so he ............

"............" Ace was silent, she looked at the pocket watch in her hand and turned it over.

On one side of the pocket watch is the photograph, and on the other side is the elevation chart.

She looked up at Barrett, and she understood that he didn't want to die himself.

"I only live to see that place, to see how people lived in the past, and how the world ...... now," she whispered, looking at the red sunset.

“………… When a person dies, he sees nothing but darkness. Barrett replied.

Not everyone is able to come back from the dead, and no one likes to die.

Ace didn't say anything more, she turned around and took off her cloak.

Barrett was a little stunned as he looked at the burn marks that ran from the top of her head downward.

As she moved, her blouse was untied, and the marks ran down her neck, the dark red scars all over her back......

"How many people can still live like a human being now?" Ace turned his face to look at Barrett and said.

He could see that there was no such scar on her cheek.

The pain she has tried, I'm afraid most people will be in pain.

Even the pain she has to endure every day is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Turning around, Ace just looked at Barrett quietly.

The cheeks are intact all the way to the neck and to the chest, but then down the ......

At the bottom of her neck was a silver metal tube that connected to her chest.

Her vocal cords and throat were specially made later.

No wonder her voice was so deep that it was hard to tell that it was a woman.

"That's why I want to see how people who can enjoy a happy life live, and it's because of this motivation that I can barely survive." Ace slowly put on her shirt, her voice calm.

"Got it." Barre nodded.

Since then, Barrett has never brought up the topic of letting Ace go.

It took Hanyu a while to wake up from the shock.

As a doctor, she certainly understands what this scar represents.

"There are ways to replace skins, but I don't think you'll accept them." Of course, Hanyu knew the price of such an operation, and Ace would not agree to it at all.

"This kind of thing doesn't matter." Ace shook her head, and she took the cloak again, hiding all her scars.

Soon, the night was rising, and only the flames were constantly shaking.

The three of them rested separately, but Barrett couldn't sleep.

He was thinking about what he saw.

The mass of slime had completely escaped the prying eyes of some people, neither Sarod's nor Daisy's.

And he found that the Moonstone Ring was actually mixed with a little bit of slime, and he didn't know how to do it.

The blood sample was supposed to have been taken only once, and he only felt a stinging pain once.

So where did that trace of the Blood Moon come from?

The only plausible explanation is that there was slime mixed in the original Blood Moon, which may have been obtained from the ruins at all.

Originally, they were stationary, so they were not discovered.

But ever since the mass of slime had wrapped around him, the trail in the ring had been activated.

Facing the moonlight, Barrett carefully examined the ring on his finger, only to find that the trace was gone.

There was nothing left but the blood that turned into a red thread.

“？” He can still vividly recall what he saw when he saw it, so he doesn't think his eyes are glazed.

Although I don't know if it's a good thing, Barrett buried it in his heart.

The next morning, Daisy came.

Barrett was sitting at his desk drawing a map.

He asked Daisy for this map in order to figure out the specific landscape around him and clarify his goals.

"You're impatient, aren't you?" Daisy chuckled.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little curious that you can be so easy after suffering such a big loss." Barrett knew all too well what was going on.

Although both Salrod and Remelon escaped the catastrophe, the researchers and ordinary soldiers at the base suffered heavy casualties.

"That's not something I can think about, is it?" Daisy chuckled.

For her, as long as she can complete the task, it doesn't matter how much cannon fodder dies.

Barrett stood up, knowing that Daisy had come to invite him to a meeting.

"This man is a man who can take ideas?" Barrett asked as he was about to leave the door.

Daisy nodded, "There's no doubt about that, he's definitely someone who can make up ideas." He made a gesture of please.

Soon, Barrett met the man who could make up his mind.

Daisy wasn't wrong, she could really have an idea.

Because this person is Long Xian.

Long Xian, who was wearing a gray uniform, looked at Barrett with a slight frown.

"It's really weird, not a single scar." Long Xian asked unceremoniously.

He knew the horror of that beast, so he was so surprised that he asked about it as soon as he met him.

"Good luck." Barrett didn't explain anything, because it wasn't clear at all.

You can't tell him that the thing wiped his face and left, and that he wasn't interested in him, right?

"Well, that's a pretty good explanation." Long Xian couldn't think of any other explanation, so he immediately changed the topic.

"Can you help us find the artifact?" Straight to the point, Long Xian didn't make a detour.

Sitting in a gilded wooden carved chair, his superiority was very distinct.

That easy-to-use attitude makes people feel very uncomfortable.

I have to say that if it is to negotiate with him, I am afraid it will be difficult to bargain.

Fortunately, Barrett was not negotiating with him.

"I can't guarantee it, I can only try to find it." Barrett has long since lost his previous apprehensions, so he directly refused to make a promise.

"Mission............ Long Xian tilted his head slightly, just staring at Barrett.

"You're playing with fire. Especially the people who rejected me. He said in a deep voice.

Barrett agreed to cooperate, but the simplest requirement was freedom of movement.

But this is exactly what Long Xian doesn't like.

He is a very controlling person, even to the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Otherwise, he would not be so angry that his daughter would be relieved of all power because she did not listen to his arrangement.

"I'm sorry, I don't trust you, just like you don't trust me either." Barrett said bluntly.

At this point, the situation is already clear.

The Juntian Group must rely on his power, so he can take advantage of this.

After being silent for a while, Long Xian reluctantly gave in.

"Okay, I'll send someone with you." He stood up, but didn't say exactly where he was going.

"Don't have too many people, I don't like to be commanded." Barrett glanced at Daisy next to him, he understood very clearly, this kind of person who likes to point fingers is better not to appear.

Daisy wasn't angry, but giggled.

Long Xian looked at Barrett, shook his head and laughed: "I didn't expect you guy to bargain." ”

"Forget it, two people, it's not much." Stretching out two fingers, Long Xian said.

Barrett could accept this number, and no matter what, he couldn't do without the help of Juntian's power.

After all, whether it is Gilmoti or Kunlun Mountain, the ruins are controlled by Jun Tian.

"Okay, the agreement is made." Barrett stood up, stretched out his left hand and said.

Glancing at the ring on Barrett's finger, Long Xian nodded and reached out to hold it together.

Leaving the nightclub, Barrett was on his way back to his residence with a flash of doubt in his eyes.

When he held Long Xian's hand, the ring on his hand moved.

Although he was just flat, there was something really different.

tried hard to suppress the doubts in his heart, and he was still quite satisfied in his heart.

Anyway, Juntian's cooperation with him began, although it was just a mutual use.

Next, as long as Long Xian's people are in place, they can set off.

As soon as he walked into the room, Barrett was surprised to find Daisy waiting for him in the room.

Wait, this woman he has seen, in Yutoka.

"Anluo?" Barrett asked.

As soon as he said that, he regretted it.

He had overheard the name, and he had never met her, and naturally he didn't know her.

"Long Xian told you?" An Luo was not surprised.

"You're a lot like Daisy." Barrett digressed from the subject.

"It's not surprising, she's my sister, twins." An Luo laughed, and she stood up.

She is of similar height and looks almost identical, the only difference is that her hairstyle is more mobile-friendly, and she doesn't wear a cheongsam.

"Are you here?" Barrett asked.

"I'm your partner, I'm just a researcher, after all." An Luo smiled and reached out and took a business card out of his pocket.

"Anlo Hopkins." Barrett read a sentence, then stretched out his hand and said, "Barrett." ”

He shook it gently, and then An Luo took out a handkerchief and wiped his palm.

"I'm sorry, but I'm a cleanliness person." She waved her hand and laughed.

Not paying attention to any of this, Barrett casually asked, "What about your other companion?" ”

He scanned the room and found no one else.

"Hasn't she been with you for a while?" An Luo asked with some surprise.

Together? It won't be ............

The door opened, and Hanyu walked in.

"Yes, I'm the other person." Looking at Barrett, there was something else in Hanyu's eyes.

But she didn't explain anything, but looked at Barrett quietly.

"I see, that's fine." And nothing else, Barrett's head said.

Glancing at the two of them, An Luo smiled: "I'm just a researcher, so the job of protecting me will be left to you." ”

Glancing at each other, Barre nodded in agreement.

It's just that he is still a little uneasy in his heart, not because of Hanyu, but because he is worried that the combat effectiveness of the team is really ............

Originally, he expected Long Xian to arrange one or two fighters, but it was obvious that he had miscalculated.

He didn't know who Anluo was, although she claimed to be a researcher and claimed to need their protection.

Although Hanyu is far more skilled than ordinary people, it is against humans, and now they are facing wild beasts......

The same is true for Ace, maybe for ordinary people, she is still a combat force, but in the face of the kind of beast that can even be destroyed by mecha at will, I am afraid that she can only watch from afar.

It's stressful............

After thinking for a while, Barrett stood up and said, "Okay, since we have all the people, let's prepare to go, the goal remains the same, Kandahar." ”

A few hours later, they set out on the road to Kandahar, this time not badly, in specialized armored vehicles.

Marry.

Daisy's nightclub.

"Boss, they're on their way." Daisy said respectfully, her head bowed.

"Got it, this guy is kind of interesting." Looking at the data in his hand, the moment he shook hands just now, Long Xian got something from the ring in Barrett's hand.

But again, he was even more puzzled, because this information is simply not available with current technology.

It's like gibberish, you know it's useful, but you don't know what it means.

Looking at the string of signals restored on the Chinese part of his hand, Long Xian thought.

And on the way to Kandahar at this time, Barrett also looked at the ring in his hand.

The moment he shook hands with Long Xian, he felt something strange, something on Long Xian's body was obviously something that had happened to the little guy under his side............ Resonance.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he could roughly guess that Long Xian might have been infected by the nanotool, and it shouldn't be said that he had been parasitic. 10
