Chapter 20: Pity
The members of Test Team 0-1 cautiously made their way deeper into the cavern, fearing that a large group of Leviathan would suddenly emerge.
However, the journey was very smooth, and there was no surprise attack by the expected large group of Leviathans.
Soon, GWL took out the last positioning lighting and embedded it in the rock wall.
"This is the 26th, which means we've already walked 135 meters." GWL reported.
"Well, I can tell it's almost the end." SQ said, who took the lead.
Because in front of the group was a barrier made of wires and mutilated sits of various unknown machinery.
Among them, a gap for Leviathan access can be faintly seen.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Once it was determined that it was unlikely that he would encounter any more Leviathans, BIA ordered, "SQE, you erect a barrier behind you to guard it.
Others began to disassemble these resources. Try not to damage the integrity of the resource. ”
"Understood." The crowd responded.
After that, the group began to mine with great care.
When they dismantled the first "resource", they couldn't help but become interested in its construction.
"Captain, you said this thing doesn't look like a degraded version of the cleaning device we usually use?" VLS asked, holding a large round piece with lots of holes.
"Who knows, I guess the parts of the cleaning device are made from this." BIA guessed.
I don't know how long it took, more and more "parts" were disassembled, some like miniature versions of the fan blades of an airjet, some like a bunch of softened pipes. Others are like a heater with a tail......
As more strange things are mined, the end of the cave is getting closer.
When GWL removes the first part of the final layer, the cave is exposed to the group.
VLS brightens the path of light on his body, which illuminates the end of the cave as a human light source.
However, the group couldn't help but be surprised by what was at the end of the cave.
In addition to the cold rock walls, at the end of the cave were three small cubs sleeping.
They looked exactly like the "annihilated" wolf Leviathan.
But these three make people feel extremely weak and pitiful.
GWL quickly cleared the last few obstacles, just to get a clear view of the three little guys as quickly as possible.
"It's ...... That Leviathan cub? GWL asked, somewhat incredulously.
"Probably so." BIA, who stepped forward, was also a little overwhelmed by the sight in front of him.
"In other words, the reason why Leviathan attacked us just now was to protect its cubs?" VLS asked.
"Seems like so." BIA said.
"So that's why that Leviathan is desperately attacking us? Is it to protect their cubs? GWL speculated.
"We, did we just kill their mother?" VLS covered his mouth with some excitement.
And thanks to the fact that she's now a mechanical body, there's no way to shed tears.
"Then ...... we," GWL asked tentatively.
"Forget it, the mission has been completed anyway, so don't hurt them anymore." BIA suggested a command.
Then, GWL and BIA turned around and began to pack up the "resources" on the ground.
Standing in place, VLS bowed deeply like the cubs, then drew a simple cross on her chest with her fingers, and then she also turned to help tidy up.
The movements of the three of them were very gentle, as if they were afraid of waking up the three sleeping cubs.
After simply packing up these "resources", BIA simply distributed the resources that had been divided into five packages, and then took his own share and prepared to leave the cave.
The other three also carried their own packages one after another, ready to leave.
After walking a few steps, SQE, who had just been on guard against the rear and had not participated in the observation just now, asked curiously, "By the way, what did you just see?" ”
"It's just three Leviathan cubs." VLS replied.
"You got rid of them?" SQE asked.
"Nope. They're still so small, it's too much to kill them. Is there any humanity left? VLS teased.
However, as soon as the word "human nature" came out, everyone stopped as if they had thought of something.
"Where's RBS?" BIA asked suddenly.
After a few seconds of silence in the air, the four of them dropped their packages and ran back to the depths of the cave.
VLS, who was running at the front, followed the dim light, as if he saw that RBS had walked up to the cubs and raised his heavy sword.
At this moment, VLS ran as hard as she could, and she was so like she was trying to stop RBS from swinging his sword.
Seeing that the heavy sword is about to fall, VLS seems to be unable to catch up.
She closed her eyes tightly, and her heart was still urging herself.
"Bang!"
A metal clash sounded in front of her, and when she opened her eyes again, she was using her two pistols to block the heavy sword that RBS had chopped.
She had no idea how she got here, but she knew she had caught up.
"Get out of the way." RBS commanded VLS in a lukewarm voice.
"No way!" VLS used all his strength to stand hard against RBS's heavy sword.
“RBS! The collection mission is complete! You don't have to kill those cubs anymore! Behind him, BIA urged urging.
"That's your job." RBS responded, "My mission is to purge this area of all Leviathan. ”
"But they're just, just a bunch of kids." VLS said as he braced himself under the sword of RBS.
"Get out of the way." RBS warned again.
"I don't!" VLS exclaimed.
At this point, RBS didn't say anything more to VLS, just a little more strength in the hand holding the sword.
At this moment, VLS's twin guns were split into four parts.
Before the epee could fully land, RBS lifted up again and stabbed at VLS who was blocking him.
"Don't!" BIA couldn't help but scream.
But it was too late.
RBS's epee, which by this time had already penetrated his goal.
VLS, who was so frightened that it took him a long time to come back to his senses, mechanically looked down at RBS's heavy sword.
The cold iron that could spew flames was now passing through his armpit.
And she herself, just a little bit of the topcoat was rubbed off by the heavy sword.
At that moment, VLS reacted suddenly, and she nervously turned her head to look behind her.
The three poor cubs, who had been completely pierced by this sword of RBS, stopped breathing.
RBS then drew his sword, and VLS fell to his knees as if he had lost his support.
"Even if I don't kill, they won't be able to live long without their mother." RBS said in his cold voice.
"You guy!" VLS got up angrily and punched RBS in the head.
However, the blow was easily blocked by RBS with his left hand. And took advantage of the situation to choke VLS's neck with his left hand, leaving her behind.
The VLS, which was thrown away, was caught by the combined force of BIA and SQE and landed smoothly.
RBS, on the other hand, picked up the package beside him as if nothing had happened, and turned and walked towards the hole.
He walked through the crowd casually and straight in the direction of the entrance of the cave.
VLS, who couldn't shed tears at this time, couldn't help hating in her heart, she hated RBS's cruelty, she hated RBS's indifference, and she hated even more that she didn't even have the strength to protect a few cubs from RBS's sword.
“RBS!” VLS roared loudly, "Someday! Someday I'm going to tear you down with my own hands! Let you feel the pain in my heart and the pain of those children! I'm going to make you pay! ”
RBS paused and replied in a calm voice, "Then please come on, if you can be strong enough to be that level, or pray that I can be weakened by your swearing." ”
With that, he continued his way to the entrance of the cave.
VLS completely lost the mood to refute at this point.
She really wanted to cry now, but she couldn't.
Now she is not a human Zhao Zihan, but a machine that cannot shed tears, Ark, codenamed VLS.
But she really hurts, it's heartache, it's heartache that comes from the depths of human consciousness.
BIA, who saw all this in his eyes, hugged VLS and comforted: "Okay, Zihan, wait for you to go back, you can cry when you go back." ”
The air was silent for a moment.
Even SQE, who usually likes to quarrel with VLS the most, has given up this best "opportunity" at the moment.
At this point, everyone was able to understand VLS's feelings.
And BIA, who experienced last night, can feel the pain of VLS even more, and even the hatred she has for RBS.
——
After VLS's mood calmed down a little, the four of them also began to move slowly towards the cave entrance along the positioning lighting device.
When they reached the entrance of the cave, the first thing they saw was RBS standing next to the two Leviathan corpses.
One of the two bodies had lost its head and had two bullet holes on its body.
This is clearly the Leviathan that was killed by everyone in the cave.
Sensing that the others had come out of the cave, RBS briefly reported: "This male Leviathan dragged his mate's body out of the cave and prepared to attack us in retaliation at the entrance of the cave.
I cleaned it up too. ”
At this moment, the anger of the others was ignited again, but not too much.
They all knew in their hearts that the RBS code of conduct was to complete the mission as the ultimate goal.
It was for this reason that they were completely unable to generate more anger at RBS's behavior at this time.
"Let's go, change it back." Suppressing his anger, the BIA gave this order.
