After almost two hours beyond the expected time, Marin finally came to the edge of the town, where the emergency team was already in place, Marin and the person in charge of the emergency team had done an understanding, they had detected the fog, and they had no way of understanding how the fog came from, and they had also tried to blow the fog away with a technique, but it had no effect at all.

The only good news was that the mist was supposed to be non-toxic, they had roped the critters into the mist, the technique could confirm their location, and they seemed to be able to walk in the mist, and they weren't controlled or anything.

So just before Marlin came, one of them had gone into the fog with a rope, and found nothing but to see anything, and the rope they had prepared was too short, and in the end the captain had to go back the way he came.

Eleven enters the fog at Marin's behest, and Marin begins to prepare, bullets, potions, and a protective suit for Beep.

"Your Excellency, you're a little late." The captain said.

"The wooden bridge on the way here collapsed, and we had a lot of time trying to find a new way." Marin said with some embarrassment - if it weren't for Salis, it would be a question of whether Marin and Eleven would be able to get here today.

"And the bridge collapsed? My God, it's really not easy for a foreigner like you to come here, I'm sorry Your Excellency, we are wrong about you. The captain said with some embarrassment, and he bowed his head for it.

"How are you going to go back?" Marin asked, looking at them.

"If that bridge collapses, we'll have to walk in a big circle, and if we walk on two legs, we'll probably be back in Copenhagen by dawn tomorrow." The captain sighed helplessly when he said this: "We will freeze to death in the wild." ”

Marin shook his head, he opened the back half of the locomotive: "I have a tent and food for the night, and some wine on this car, you can put up the tent first, if it goes well, the matter will be settled before sunset today, then we will support ourselves in the tent for the night, and we will go back early tomorrow morning...... Besides, maybe the fog event is dealt with, and we can go back directly through the teleportation channel. ”

"Thank you so much." The captain and his three members of the team who were cold and red began to set up tents, Marin observed and confirmed that they did not take off their clothes because of work, and then they were relieved - in such a cold climate, if they began to undress, it means that they have begun to enter the countdown to life, the supercold body temperature will make the human body begin to release a lot of heat, and the heat will make the human body feel overheated and take off clothes, and all this represents that people's cognition of the outside world has been lost, and the final result is a vicious circle, People die of hypothermia.

When the tent was set up, the four-member emergency team began to light the bonfire, and then put the barbecue rack, and the two and a half children killed the goats they had tied to the side, ready for a beautiful roast lamb trip.

"Where did this sheep come from?" Marlin asked with some curiosity.

"They were found in a sheepfold in front of them before the fog had spread, and their owners don't know where they went, probably in the town at the time." The captain said, "We have experimented with it and confirmed that the mist is non-toxic, so let's borrow its meat and eat it now." ”

"You didn't say it sooner." Marin turned his head to look behind him, where Fio and Lorraine were dragging a deer over the mound behind them.

"Wow, that's amazing! And deer! The two and a half sons took the fawn and began to dissect it one by one.

The captain poured Marin wine with a happy face, and then picked a leg of lamb for him, and Marlin gave them a jar of spices, the Yankees' goats were recognized as heavy, and they needed this thing to cover up.

With spices, everyone in the emergency team is even happier, under the captain's explanation, Marin knows that the emergency team generally does corner work, which is the kind of work that is not too dangerous and troublesome, sometimes the team that comes to deal with the problem will bring them a little food, sometimes there is nothing, then they need to eat black bread by themselves, and the Yankees themselves know that the black bread that is taken to the field is theoretically similar to a stone, and can be used to open the head.

So what Marin brought to them gave this emergency team a kind of aristocratic enjoyment.

Marin thought that these young people were very hard, so he smiled and let them enjoy it.

When the meat was finished and Marlin ate a few pieces, he noticed that Eleven had come out of the mist.

"I went around town and saw nothing, all the humans were gone, I found some food in their house, some pots with soup in them, it looks like the fog did appear at breakfast time." The eleventh gave bad news.

Marin thought for a moment: "The food is still there, it does prove the fog that appeared at breakfast time, but the people are gone, where will they go?" ”

"I looked, but because it was noon and the snow on the ground was a bit deep, these hours were enough for the fresh snow to cover all the footprints, and I didn't find anything, but the animals were still there." Eleven's answer made Marin frown, and he looked at the captain who was gnawing on the deer's leg: "Captain, you said that you have entered the fog, do you have any strange feelings?" ”

"Not at all, but my inspiration is very low, and the intensity is only one." The captain's reply made Marin laugh and cry a little - the intensity of inspiration that ordinary ghosts would not be able to interact with him.

"But the average civilian will not have three strengths, so I think ...... Could it be some mysterious power? The captain said clearly as he nibbled on the meat.

“…… yes, so, I decided to go in and take a look. Marlin made a decision.

So after eating his barbecue, Marlin wiped his mouth, checked all the guys, and hung the nest of Beep in front of his left waist.

"I'm here to show you the way." Eleven walked ahead.

"Wait a minute, Your Excellency, I'll go in with you." The captain said.

Marin turned his head to look at him, "Are your teammates okay?" ”

"No problem, Your Excellency, my veteran team member Jack will help me take care of these two children." The captain said, tossing the bones behind him, and he picked up the longsword and double-barreled shotgun at his feet.

"Alright, let's go." Marin nodded, motioning for the captain to walk to his left.

When entering the fog, Marin felt a hint of coldness, but there was no other feeling, Eleven was still in front of him, and the strength of the first captain walked on his left, he pointed to the front of the road: "Let's go a little further, in front of us is a sheepfold, and the owner of the sheepfold hut." ”

"Yes, there is indeed a sheepfold and hut." Eleven said this, turning on the lights behind him, allowing Marlin to see him very clearly.

At this time, the captain caught the emergency flash that Marin threw at him and hung it on the shoulder strap of his left arm.

Marin also turned on the light on his shoulder.

"The fog is starting to thicken." Marin looked at the fog around him and looked at the strength captain with some confusion: "How do you feel?" ”

"I feel pretty much the same as before." The captain said as he looked to his left: "Your Excellency Marin, why are you going farther and farther. ”

"Eleven!" Marin shouted.

No. 11 immediately turned his head: "Your Excellency Marin! What ......" he looked at Marin and immediately shouted, "Danger! Behind you! ”

Dangerous?!

The feeling of fried hair made Marin take a step, and the shield that Lorraine turned into blocked a blow from behind, and Marin turned around and saw a humanoid creature with a crazy look on his face, its naked body was pale and bloodless, and its left hand was already distorted and twisted like a bone blade.

"Purify!" Marin gave the captain a purification technique, and the strength immediately screamed, and then finally turned his attention to Marin: "Damn! I'm possessed! ”

Putting away the assault rifle, Marin took out his shepherd staff and plunged it into the ground under his feet: "Let there be light!" "The whole book

Divine light spread from the Ring Spell Amplifier formed by Merlot, the young branch of the World Tree at the head of the staff, illuminating the surrounding mist, and at least three Wraiths were purified in an instant, while more aberrations appeared on the illuminated edge.

"The infrared spectrum can't see them!" Eleven raised his warning voice and ejected the high-frequency molecular blades built into his arms: "These things are different from what I saw in the northern snowfields!" Are they still creatures?! ”

"It's a Chaos Creature!" The captain drew his sword and exposed his back to Marin: "Damn, I haven't seen them before!" Did they spread out of the town?! ”

"Why didn't I find them when I went in before?" Eleven was a little confused.

"Because you're dead, and we're living, Eleven." Marin asks Beep to bless the captain and change the magazine for the assault rifle.

Over there, Fio had already slashed the sneak attack deviant with a blood roar, and it was fast, but still not as fast as it could turn seven hundred and twenty degrees and catch a backflip seven and a half axes.

Manna transforms into a hound, bites a small thing that wants to sneak up on Marin, and drags it to Marin.

It was a child-sized aberration, and the child was now like a Chaos Hound, with compound eyes, a mouth full of three-petaled mouthparts, and his spine was bent and grew skin-piercing bone spurs, and at the tail end of the spine, there was a slender bony whip-like tail.

At this time, the aberrations roared and attacked.

"Too much! Watch out! Eleven quickly gave an answer that he couldn't fully handle.

"Don't be nervous, let me do it." Marin said as he raised his left hand.

The psionic energy gathered rapidly, watching the approaching deviants, and as they leaped up, Marlin let go of his clenched palms.

Psionic energy blossomed in his hands, and then a divine invisible flame emanated from Marin's hand, and the fire swept through the aberrations, and any distortion that came into contact with it instantly turned into ashes.

Eleven watched as hundreds of distortions were swept away by Marin, and he turned his head to look at Marin: "Is this the new power that belongs to humanity in the new era?" ”

"After the Chaos invasion, this is the power that we humans use to protect ourselves." Marin nodded, then looked at the far end of the mist: "There are two possibilities now, one possibility is that Chaos has opened a node here, and if we continue to advance, there will be more and more enemies." It is also possible that this area, like Fort Carter, has developed close contact with the subspace, which ordinary mortals cannot accept, and eventually distorts and distorts. ”

"Why haven't the animals changed?" Eleven asked strangely.

"Yes, that's why I think the first one is probably higher...... We retreated. For the first time, Marin gave a clear retreat order during the mission: "We only have two legs, if the opposite side is the Chaos Legion, we can't run away with only two legs, or we can run away, but you definitely can't." After saying that, Marin looked at Mr. Captain, who nodded bitterly: "So we have to retreat, but the bridge is broken......"

"It's okay, I'll drive, if you lose the things in the back bucket, you can stuff at least two and a half sizes, you and one of your old Jack can sit behind me, and the other person will follow Eleven, he has a lot of experience in surviving in the wild." Marin said.

"I'm going with Mr. Eleven, old Jack is old, he can't get through it." The captain said.

So the group of three people returned quickly, only to find that the fog had spread again, Jack and the two half-sized children saw them come out and showed a certain vigilance, but after confirming the code with their captain, they relaxed, but then heard the order to retreat, old Jack shook his head: "No, I'll go with this Mr. Warframe, I have more experience in surviving in the wild than you, captain, you are still young, and you will only be the one who can't survive." ”

"Did I let you speak, old thing! You're my team! You have to listen to me! Follow Lord Marin and take these two boys away! After speaking, the captain looked at the gray-bearded old Jack: "Got it!" ”

"You are doing this an atrocity against the team, and I will tell you all about it! If you come back alive, just wait to be criticized! When the old Jack said this, he finally obeyed the order and hurried the two half-sized boys back to fight.

Marin looked at Eleven, "Please bring Mr. Captain back alive." ”

"Leave it to me, Mr. Marin, and please go quickly, or it will be too late." As soon as the eleventh finished speaking, the group heard footsteps coming from the fog.

Marin turned his head and looked at the people who came out of the fog...... Monster.

It was an aberration of the entire head that had completely lost its flesh, its blood-colored soul fire burning in its skull, and a very badly damaged leather armor was placed on his body, and the flesh that emerged from the damage was completely devoid of skin.

"It's Lord Robben! No! The Captain seemed to recognize its identity, and as if in response to the Captain, the monster's soul whispered in Marin's head.

It's Captain Kroger, long time no see, as you can see, I have accepted a new identity, compared to the so-called ideals and beauty imposed on me by my adoptive father before, now I feel truly free, such unrestrained, is what I want, come, accept the new destiny of mankind, everyone.

Marin jumped off the locomotive: "Captain, do you know how to drive a locomotive?" ”

"A little." After the captain finished speaking, he looked at Marin with a look of horror: "Your Excellency! You can't stay! ”

"I had a pact with old Francis that I would help him find Robben, and I thought I wouldn't have that opportunity." Marin looked at Robben after speaking, and at the same time urged Mr. Captain: "Hurry up, go back and tell Old Francis that we will be back tomorrow morning, let him not worry." ”

Eventually, the sound of the locomotive starting was heard behind Marin.

Robben looked at Marlin, as if curious.

You know old Francis, then do you know this stupid adoptive father of mine and his Northernism?

"I know." Marin stretched out his hand to stop Eleven's attempted attack: "I also understand Northernism, because I myself have such ideals. ”

Ha, it's funny to have the same stupid ideals as my stupid adoptive father, you should know that he and his Northernism are nothing more than unrealistic dreams, and there are so many mortals in this world who don't want to go with him, some of them have become lackeys and accomplices of big business owners, some of them are more than enough, and some of them are just trying to reap the benefits of the fishermen.

The monster's mockery echoed in Marin's head.

One day, the big business owners will drown him, his friends, and their compromise in a basin of, and only blood and fire can purify the world...... Ha, looking at your trembling appearance, you are also an understanding person, and you should understand that what I said is right.

"yes." Marin nodded, and he threw both the assault rifle and the shotgun to the ground.

It seems that you are willing to become a higher existence like me, great, let's gather all like-minded people and purify this world completely.

Marin put the beep on the ground along with its nest, then got up and picked up the long-handled knife made of the twigs of the World Tree: "No, it's you who should be purified." ”

What?

"It's you who I want to purify, Robben, don't you understand, you have blasphemed the doctrine I swore to protect, in my memory, how can the beauty of countless heroes and warriors who have exchanged their lives for be tarnished by you with such blasphemous words!"

A monster that isn't even human! It's worth talking about such beauty?!

Monsters, your sins...... It must be washed with blood, and it must be repaid with life.
