1117 Memories of the Beast
"The earthquake ......"
"It's an earthquake!"
The inhabitants of the Land of Light, dozens of kilometers away, also felt the tremors from the wilderness. But the reaction of these radiating people is very different from that of normal humans.
Faced with an earthquake that threatened to kill them at any time, the radiant people living in the metal buildings danced and cheered, their voices full of joy:
"It's the nuclear god! The nuclear god has arrived! ”
- In the "Ancient Legends" of the Land of Light, the legendary nuclear god is hidden under the earth, and when he awakens, the land will once again be shrouded in a mushroom cloud of nuclear explosions, and all creatures that cannot adapt to the radiation environment will be completely destroyed!
No one knows where this legend began, but as the only "religious belief" in the city, the vast majority of Radiant people believe that the "nuclear god" is real.
For the radiant people who struggle to survive in the wasteland and search for radiation energy every day, the "nuclear god" is probably one of the pillars that support their survival. Even some nobles believed that the "nuclear god" really existed.
"In the afternoon, I received a report that a large number of citizens in the city had witnessed the appearance of the 'nuclear god'."
Using old-fashioned shortwave communication equipment, the guards sent a message to the council where the nobles were located: "We didn't get a picture, but according to the sentinels, it's a glowing crystalline man with glorious wings on its back. ”
"It's nonsense, how can the nuclear god be a crystal man?" An angry male voice rang out, interrupting the guards' report: "Those despicable monsters hiding underground are not worthy of the name of 'god' at all!" ”
"But you have to admit that they are indeed a more thoroughly evolved species than we are."
This time it was a calm young woman who spoke, her voice a little grainy: "If the nuclear god really exists, the crystal people are more qualified than us. ”
"Are you defiling your race?" Then he spoke another man with a weird yin and yang: "This kind of talk is not convincing to the public, 'big rich'." ”
"I'm not going to make you understand, I'm just going to state it." The female voice known as "Big Rich" was still calm, and her voice sounded a little contemptuous.
"Don't be noisy......"
An old man with a calm voice spoke: "Calm down, young man, she is right...... However, I don't think the nuclear god will be a crystalline man, and he will have to evolve to the next level to have a chance of becoming a god. ”
"I've always wondered if the 'nuclear god' really exists." The rich man laughed: "Maybe it's just an ordinary earthquake." ”
"But it's also true that there has been an accident in the 'underworld' recently." The old man whispered.
"Then let's see, time will tell." After the rich man finished speaking, he cut off the signal without hesitation, leaving only a few other nobles to continue the unpleasant meeting.
"I propose that the woman be expelled from the council." The man who had ridiculed the "big rich" before said coldly: "She is an unstable factor, maybe she is secretly planning something......
"I know, but we need her...... assets. The old man sighed: "Do you think that we alone can support the status of 'noble'? We couldn't do anything without her ore refining equipment. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the nobles in the radio channel fell into a long silence.
……
Rumble!
With the last violent tremor, the earthquake that lasted ten minutes finally ended.
The originally flat wilderness had become full of cracks after the earthquake just now, and dark gray smoke rose from the cracks on the shattered earth, with a burning pungent smell.
"The underground vein exploded?"
Standing in the outpost cut in two by the "canyon", Lin Chi stared at the scorching earth beneath his feet. Half of the base is already sinking into the ground, and it looks like it shouldn't be a good place to stay for long.
He didn't know where Skull Face had gone, but instead of looking for Skull Face with no clues, he might as well pay attention to the leader-level retinue he was recruiting.
Thinking of this, Lin Chifei returned to the cave where the beast lived, only to see that the fierce beast that had been defeated by his own punch had already stood up again, standing on the wasteland that was about to fall apart with his head up, his eyes lit up with a cloudy yellow light.
"Are you alright?" Lin Chi said hello to the beast that had fought side by side with him.
“…… OK. The beast replied with its teeth bared.
Although he was still hostile to Lin Chi, the beast was not so hostile to this "enemy" at this time, and he saw that the beast was in a good state. Lin Chi floated to the monster's side and continued to talk to the leader:
"It's okay, I'm worried about you."
"You're disgusting." The beast opened its fanged mouth and turned its head away in disgust.
"Ha, I've never been good at this kind of thing." Lin Chi laughed and asked, "Did you see the other crystal man who came with me?" ”
"Nope." The beast's reply was very simple: "When I woke up, the cave had collapsed." ”
"Oh." Lin Chi nodded, looking thoughtfully at the outline of the city in the distance.
It seems that the Land of Light did not have the tragic collapse of houses due to the earthquake, and it still maintains its original form. Houses made of discarded steel are not so easy to collapse.
- Did the woman go back to her original base?
"Wait for me here, I'll be back shortly." Lin Chi waved his hand at the beast and said, "I'll bring you beef back." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had turned into a "meteor" and disappeared from the beast's sight.
“……”
Looking up at the remnants left by the other party, the beast gritted its remaining teeth and made a whirring sound in its mouth.
Although it recovered and got the opportunity to escape, the beast had no intention of leaving, but opened its mouth, and two lines of saliva slowly flowed from the corners of its mouth.
"Roast beef......" it said.
The beast could feel that the man was genuinely intending to be his friend. Moreover, by staying with the crystal man whose whole body is full of radiation, his own strength can also be strengthened again.
In addition to this, there is another more important reason why it did not leave.
"I really...... Have you seen him. ”
In the memory that has long been forgotten, it seems that something is gradually waking up. The beast lay on the ground, its hideous face crumpled, trying to remember the dusty past.
- Andrechenko.
A name came to his mind, followed by the figure of a young girl in a navy camouflage uniform with a sincere smile on her face.
Who is she?
The beast whimpered and felt its head ache.
