"Canaan, you shouldn't have brought me back......" Lin Yan's body only had a head left, and the only remaining head had been burned beyond recognition.
Canaan ignored her, dragging her pierced right leg limping out of the sewers, the stench filled with blood.
"Hurry up! I see them going that way! ”
The humans on the streets are now insane, and their counterattack begins at the same time that Rain completes the destruction of the sequence.
The footsteps walked away before Canaan emerged from the shadows, and she covered Lin Yan's mouth to prevent her from continuing.
Thirty-five kilometers through the stench, Canaan finally returned to the lower level.
Pushing open the dilapidated door, the abandoned apartment was empty.
When I came to the second floor, the old woman who used to sit at the top of the stairs was gone...... There was only a pool of blood left on the ground, probably killed.
Putting Lin Yan's head on the side of the dusty bed, Canaan entered the bathroom, and after a while she came out with a first aid kit.
That night...... Canaan was spent in pain and wailing.
When he woke up, Canaan found that Lin Yan was looking at something.
She calibrated the channel to the same channel, and then she saw Han Kongwen who was hanging on the cross to be judged.
The wound on her leg had almost healed, but the bones inside were still far from healing, but Canaan didn't have so much time to rest, she ran upstairs and downstairs, and finally replaced Lin Yan with a rusty mechanical body before the next evening.
These antique-like things are the wreckage of special engineering robots, and Canaan thought that they still have some value and took them back as rags.
I didn't expect that after many years, there would be such a use.
Lin Yan finally stood up again, she was wearing a large helmet, and her walking posture looked very stiff.
"Let's use it alive, after a few days, everyone will calm down, and I will take you back to the island to find you a decent body."
Lin Yan looked at her arm, the tail of the arm was not a palm, but a drill.
"No, we don't have time to go back to the island, I need to find the Prophet before Kongwen is executed, only she can change all this." Lin Yan's words still had an unquestionable tone.
But Canaan didn't want to see that happen.
"Change what? Sister Yan? Aren't we doing enough? Why do we have to save them?! ”
Lin Yan looked at Canaan and was silent for a while before replying: "Canaan, we are not doing all this for anything, but because only we can do it, if even we give up, then it doesn't matter who takes over this world, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Canaan shook her head, she had enough of so many sacrifices......
"I don't understand! I don't want to understand either! I'm not that smart! I don't understand any big truth! I just don't want you dead! Sister Yan, isn't it okay for us to escape? Yes? ”
Lin Yan laughed silently when she heard this, she gently hugged Canaan, and then turned around and went downstairs with stiff steps.
Watch the lonely, even funny figure fade away......
Canaan wiped away his tears and took up arms and chased after him.
……
"Sister Canaan, we've arrived." A soft voice woke up the sleeping Canaan.
When she opened her eyes, the world before her was no longer monotonous rocks and darkness, but a magnificent city sleeping underground.
Although it has long since been reduced to ruins and sunk for many years, when visitors see it again, they still have to sigh at its beauty and magnificence.
"I used to think that the Dusk City-State was the largest underground city, but now it seems ...... I'm still too inexperienced. Carris exclaimed.
Xiao Qing said after hearing this: "In the early days of the Salary King, there were a large number of ancient creatures on the ground, and in order to avoid the destruction of the city, human beings at that time established many super cities underground. ”
"Zelidar? The hometown of the Salary King? Caris obviously didn't expect the city in front of her to have such a backstory, she only knew that it had such a name.
"This is the birthplace of all thirteen Salary Kings, they are the proud sons of heaven in this ancient holy city, and they led mankind with their own beliefs to open the era of Salary Kings, and it was only then that humanity finally returned to the ground." Professor Li Feng's complexion was much better, it had been a day since he woke up from the sleep pod, and this was the first time he had spoken.
Canaan didn't speak, she looked at the city in the distance, the city hidden under a veil of darkness and could only see some outlines, although grand enough, but more eerie.
"When we get to the ground, we camp in place, and we'll rest before we go into the city." Chu Ming's mask had a few more scratches, which were left when he was fighting the xenos on the ground.
They had already gone through many brutal battles before officially entering the underworld.
Fortunately, this time the action arrangement was considered very comprehensively, and with the intervention of the powerful thinking mecha, everyone was in danger.
"Okay."
……
"They've reached Zelidar." Qin Wen reported the information she had just received to Amy.
Amy was looking at some information about Teridal.
The holy city of Teridal is located directly below the Sogo City, the imperial capital of the Zanspur Empire, and is located 570 meters underground. This holy city, which fell 2,700 years ago, was once the center of human faith, economy and culture.
It not only inherited human civilization, but also contributed to the third type of contact between Kui and humans.
And it is of great significance to promote the completion of the legendary creation with humans in the subsequent period of the Salary King.
The holy city of Zelidar covers an area of about 32 square kilometers, and the whole city looks like a drop of water when overlooked, and at the end of the water drop stands the glorious symbol of Zelidar, the summer palace of the Salaryman.
It is a holy place where the saints of the past generations listen to the teachings and choose the successors of the king.
During the 500 years of Teridhar's existence, the Holy City had a total of 120 Salary Kings, and the number of Salary Kings that existed at the same time gradually increased from one at the beginning to thirteen before the fall of the Holy City.
Soon after the Thirteen Salaries King broke the Forbidden Gate and led his followers to the surface, the Holy City was forgotten from this world.
The last Lord, Nora Endel, was laid to rest in the summer palace of the Salary King shortly after the destruction of the Forbidden Gate.
But his followers still believe that the Lord will come back to the world and bring true hope and stability to mankind.
Therefore, for thousands of years, all legends have specifically mentioned the immortal and loyal saints who guarded the forgotten holy city.
……
Seeing this, Amy frowned.
'What the hell are these saint guards?' As a staunch atheist, Amy doesn't believe in immortal monsters, but legends don't lie for nothing, and the Holy City can't cling to empty words to avoid being desecrated by intruders.
So......
"Tell Canaan, be careful, the main purpose of this operation is to determine the location of the estates of the major salary kings, and the rest, what should be discarded must be discarded!"
"Okay, I'll inform Sister Canaan."
……
Canaan, who received the message, was wiping the dagger on the stone next to the camp, and after looking at the message, she deleted it directly.
Just at this time, Chu Ming and Xiao Qing also returned.
While the others were camping, they went to the area around the Holy City to reconnoitre.
"How's that going, Captain?" Calis put down the supply box in her hand, and she walked over quickly, only to see Xiao Qing's injured left arm.
"There are enemies?!" Caris was startled, and her smile disappeared immediately.
Momo was carefully debugging the equipment, and when she heard this, she immediately jumped up, holding the weapon and looking like she was about to fight.
"Where, how can you?"
Chu Ming hurriedly said, "It's okay, Xiao Qing just accidentally activated a defense device by himself." ”
"Just a little bruising." Xiao Qing showed the wound to Calis indifferently, Momo was a little dizzy, she didn't dare to look at it at all, she closed her eyes and sent the first aid kit over.
"Abrasions have to be dealt with quickly, this place has been closed for too many years, beware of infection."
Xiao Qing took it, and then sat down silently to deal with the wound by herself.
Calis was a little skeptical when she heard what the two said, but she didn't ask.
Of those present, only Canaan was in charge of watching from beginning to end, she glanced at Chu Ming, and then at Professor Li Feng, who was concentrating on searching for the source of the signal, and shook her head secretly.
'I'm afraid I'm going to get into big trouble with this errand......
……
At this time, in Isinval, which was 1,700 kilometers away, Xue Ming also received a report from Chu Ming, and after he made sure that everyone was okay, he did not give intervening instructions, but only said lightly: "Pay attention to safety." ”
Turning around, Chu Ming looked at the dozen or so faceless figures sitting in front of him, there were only code names in front of them, no names.
"We're disappointed in you."
The three people who spoke were sitting on the far left of Xue Ming.
Xue Ming raised his eyebrows and replied quietly: "There is no need to be disappointed, although Tulaya is no more, but your investment has not been lost, and you still enjoy the previous benefits, including the continuation of life, which I have explained in the original report." ”
"But the Cerberus affair has exposed us." The three didn't buy it.
Xue Ming remained calm: "In terms of the handling of the Cerberus issue, I directly instructed the Supreme Archon Mr. Karn, if you have any questions or doubts about this, I suggest that you can go directly to Mr. Karn, instead of continuing to doubt me." ”
"Huh...... Boy, your sharp teeth didn't make you victorious, and even if Mr. Karn valued you, without our support, you would be an empty shelf. There was only one person left to speak, and he sat in the middle of the three, his tone stiff and cold.
Xue Ming nodded and smiled: "I...... Again, if you don't think the situation is right for you, you can opt out, but again, all the rights you have gained from Tulaya will disappear as well, so please think twice. ”
