Chapter 254: Activation
Nangong Rong and the others still couldn't wait for the moment when the Kunta returned to the airport to receive rest, because the military always needed this robot scorpion to stay on the front line, and almost immediately after recovering several occupied cities, they made a plan to continue to launch a full-scale counteroffensive, and it is not an exaggeration to describe its inner state at the moment.
On the third day of being taken to the airport by the way, the boy and the eldest princess failed to see the Kunta, but Uncle Li took the initiative to find the door, and also came to Trist, who likes to join in the fun, but the eldest lady is purely a background character, and it is the uncle who is really looking for something to do with the two.
"You can leave. After meeting each other, Uncle Li said directly to the two, "I'm sorry for restricting the freedom of the two of you for so long, but today is finally over." Pack up, I'll take someone to send you out. ”
This is a military base rather than a refugee camp, and there is no obligation to help take care of Nangong Rong and Octavier, who are [helpless and wandering around], so the boy knew from the beginning that his time at the airport was very limited, but he didn't expect that he would leave before he had time to do anything.
Or rather, he didn't have a chance to do anything at all.
"Ah, don't worry. Seeing the sadness on Nangong Rong's face mixed with a little hesitation, Trist mistakenly thought that he was worried about his future livelihood, so she waved her hand nonchalantly beside her, "If you have nowhere to go and can't find a job, I can help arrange it." ”
Nangong Rong almost couldn't help but show a crying and laughing look, he didn't plan to settle down in this plane, so even if the work arranged by the double ponytail was good, he couldn't accept it, and immediately shook his head decisively and said, "No need, we have our own plans." But thank you for your kindness, Trace, and we'll see you again in the future. ”
Since it is not a good idea for the military to send off the guests, it is not a good idea to stay here and not leave, and if it is serious, it will even arouse suspicion, so the young man chose to accept the other party's arrangement very wisely, and if he continues to wait stupidly, he doesn't know when the Kunta will return, so it is better to take the initiative to go over.
It's just that in that case, it is destined to be close to the frontline battlefield, and the probability of encountering danger will also skyrocket, and the probability of encountering Stephanie will also be greatly increased, and it is completely dancing on the tip of a knife. However, since the golden retriever cat can open the plane passage at any time to teleport itself and others away, then as long as you are vigilant and pay attention not to be missed at the beginning, you can always escape after that.
"Tsk, I'm still thinking about how I can keep you as a spare tire, and I'm going to leave so soon. The double ponytail smacked his lips with his hands in his hands full of unhappiness, just looking at the expression on the girl's face Nangong Rong almost believed it, although the young man quickly returned to normal, "Do you want to exchange mobile phone numbers, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to me." ”
The boy accepted the eldest lady's proposal after thinking for a while, but he and the eldest princess (because it was impossible to have a mobile phone in this world) deduced that their mobile phones were lost when they fled, so they didn't talk about exchanging them, but just wrote down the girl's number, and promised that they would definitely call after buying a new mobile phone in the future, which made Trist let Nangong Rong go.
Then Uncle Li and a few entourages left the room with Nangong Rong and Octavier, who had packed a small amount of luggage, and sent them to the nearest town to the airport, before saying goodbye to the two.
The town is small, but there are a lot of people, most of whom are journalists from all over the world. These supposedly pervasive guys somehow learned that the Quinta was developed, designed, and invested in the construction of the Quinta, and they have been trying to enter the airport for several days to interview the eldest lady, so this town has become a temporary base for them.
There were so many people coming and going that it was very difficult for Nangong Rong to squeeze into a long-distance bus to a city near the battlefield with his female companion. In the end, it was estimated that Octavier couldn't stand it anymore, and quietly used his fighting spirit to drag the young man with black lines to forcibly squeeze away those guys who were unwilling to be humble, and then he successfully got into the car.
The roads between cities have not been canceled because cars can fly, after all, these tin guys are not airplanes after all, and it is more economical to drive close to the ground if the road is too long, and of course it can also save energy to run longer distances.
After the departure, the road was very smooth, and Nangong Rong gradually recovered from the intense physical exertion, and turned to chat with Octavier, who was sitting next to him.
"Thanks, I almost thought I was going to wait for the next train. But are you sure it really doesn't matter if you do this, not only can't you use spells here, but even the recovery speed of Dou Qi will become quite slow?"
The eldest princess shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter, anyway, with my little fighting spirit, I can't do anything when I encounter miscellaneous monsters, and it's useless to keep it." ”
At this moment, the carriage was already full of people, and basically all the passengers were chatting with each other, so the whispered words of the boy and the girl did not attract the attention of others, and of course they were not heard by others.
So is this the reason why you use your fighting spirit to bully ordinary people?" Nangong Rong sighed deeply with his hands on his forehead, but in the end he didn't say anything, and continued the previous topic with an indifferent face, without any intention of complaining: "Let's not mention this first, what should I do after I got the phone number from Trist?"
Octavir squinted at the young man, and answered with a slightly disdainful look on his face, "Wouldn't it be okay to call someone out another day to get out of the way?" ”
"To be reasonable, which of your eyes saw that she was interested in me, it was obviously deliberately teasing, okay!" Nangong Rong said with a smile on his face, if it weren't for the fear of affecting other people nearby, the teenager would have almost yelled out, "That girl just wants us to be her friends of the same age, and there is no other meaning at all." If you really want to say it, there is always a little emotion in the eyes of that eldest lady every time she looks at Bigal, don't tell me you didn't see it. ”
"Well, the CP of the eldest lady and the housekeeper, it's really a royal setting. Didn't you think about taking Trister over to the Minotaur, then...... I'm blocking. ”
The boy's knife attack was blocked by the eldest princess's raised arm, and it was not able to touch the girl's head.
Nangong Rong looked regretful: "Your Highness, I always feel that you seem to have been completely damaged by a certain AI recently." ”
Compared with the teenager's somewhat exaggerated performance, Octavier's side was extremely indifferent: "It's an illusion." ”
Due to the many people around, the golden retriever cat did not say anything about someone's slander about himself, but silently wrote down an account in his heart - let's discount it then!
"Well, it's an illusion. Nangong Rong, who completely ignored that the system was recording some strange things in the small notebook, focused all his attention on Octavier, "But in any case, the days of waiting for something to happen in the safety of the rear before taking action are over, and this illusion is better to appear as little as possible." Although we only went to check the status of the Quinta and left, it was a battlefield after all, and it was also the place where Stephanie was eyed, and the mood for an outing would only make it ugly. ”
The eldest princess shrugged her shoulders a little indifferently: "It's okay, because we don't need to appear directly on the battlefield, just take the opportunity of the Kunta to evacuate the front line to rest and do a check." ”
It seemed that this was really the case, and the tension in Nangong Rong's heart dissipated a lot, and just as he was about to take a long breath to relax, a terrifying and incomparably strong fluctuation suddenly swept away from a rather distant place, making the boy almost roll off his seat.
The fluctuation was just a certain breath, and it did not violently stir up countless dust on the ground like a hurricane that existed in reality, and ordinary humans did not seem to be aware of it, but the passenger car that was originally moving smoothly shook violently with the fluctuations, making the passengers can't help but panic a little.
Even if a car can fly, it is still a machine, and if it is a machine, it will inevitably break down, and it is not something that will be easy to break down when moving at high speed in mid-air a few meters above the ground.
Fortunately, the bus only shook a few times before it regained its stability, so Octavier was just as unimpressed as the other passengers at first, but when the girl noticed Nangong Rong beside her, she immediately realized that what had just happened did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.
Nangong Rong's face was as pale as a piece of paper, his forehead was covered with dense fine sweat, and his eyes showed unconcealed horror while gasping for breath, as if he was a mouse being played under the paws of a cat.
"You get motion sickness...... It shouldn't be possible, what happened?" the eldest princess gently stroked the young man's back to help him try to smooth his breathing, and asked nervously in confusion, "Could it be related to the vibration just now?"
Nangong Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead with a wry smile, and replied with a completely defeated look: "You shouldn't have noticed it, but I am born with a mismatch with the abyss, but I know very well that there is a powerful existence that activates the abyss crystal, and the vibration of the car before is caused by the energy fluctuations generated when activated." Sure enough, we are still late, Stephanie has already taken the lead, and what is more troublesome is that the other party is very likely to be her own deity, and if you want to recover the Abyss Crystal, you have to face her block. ”
"It's no wonder to sigh that it's already happened, think about what we should do next. Octavir remained calm and suggested, her appearance also causing the distraught teenager to gradually relax, "First of all, do you feel where the crystal is?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's near the front line. According to news reports, most of the troops were attacking the dwarfs' occupation area with the cooperation of the Quinta at this time, and it is likely that the crystal was activated by Stephanie when the two armies faced off. Nangong Rong pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to calm down his bad mood, he really didn't dare to imagine what kind of situation it was like now, "The military doesn't intend to give the enemy much respite and wants to defeat him in one go, but it also completely pushes the opponent to a dead end, so no matter what they do, it's not surprising." ”
The eldest princess nodded slightly: "For example, when you use crystal catalysis to create a little monster that can compete with the Kunta or something, and then Stephanie easily exploits it?"
"For no race will easily admit defeat, and will continue to fight as long as there is even the slightest possibility, no matter how dangerous that means may be. Nangong Rong also sighed helplessly when he said this, he was very troubled by the fact that things had developed like this, "Besides, the gnomes don't know how dangerous the Abyss Crystal is, so it is only natural that Stephanie will find a chance." But even so, we still need to make a trip. ”
Even if it's just to see who wins the fierce battle between the super robots and the giant monsters, and if it's really impossible to use the system's plane access to save the Kunta, it's worth a try.
The little monster and Stephanie Abyss have already begun to wreak havoc everywhere, what else can they do, it is enough to save their lives, at most, when the locals can't hold on, they will all transfer the survivors to other worlds through the dimensional passage.
As for how to clean up the mess caused by the abyss, let the professionals come.
"Since the crystal has been activated, can you feel the changes it has brought to the surroundings?" Octavier knew that Nangong Rong's ability was inextricably linked to the abyss from the inside out, if the crystal had been activated, then the young man should be able to detect the other party's aura and changes at all times, after all, it was a critical period for the abyss to expand its power through erosion, and the other party would not choose to keep a low profile, "There must be many miscellaneous monsters nearby, once the erosion infection spreads like a plague......"
However, the eldest princess's worries were quickly interrupted by the young man, who saw him frown with his eyes closed and his face full of confusion, and then said in a very uncertain tone: "It seems a little strange, I don't feel that the abyss is spreading rapidly, it seems that there is only one infected so far after the crystal is activated. ”
"What, have those guys changed their usual way of acting?"
