The cold weather is inevitably shivering, but tonight is surprisingly quiet, and even the silence that emanates from the silence around you can't help but make people feel creepy. Especially, around the spaceship, which was wrapped in darkness like splashes of ink.

Thankfully, however, although the lighting equipment in the cabin was affected and involved in the fierce fight just now, it was only short-circuited, and it did not seem to be completely damaged. At this moment, Wayne is at ease and repairing in order, and the sparks that splash from time to time are like sporadic splashes, which makes people anxious.

"Excuse me, can you hand me the pliers?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Natalie handed her the pincers with a slight rust mark—

"Thank you, honestly, it's really helpful to have you there."

Even when she was sweating profusely, she didn't forget to express her gratitude for Natalie Ken's help.

"Anyway, I suddenly tested you like that just now, and I'm sorry if I upset you."

Natalie was a little surprised by this, but accepted it without hesitation. However, there is one thing that makes her curious: after all, although they are familiar with each other, in the final analysis, they are just a meeting in the water.

And for her like this, the girl in front of her can talk as if nothing happened, why is this?

So, based on this, she threw out a question: "Aren't you worried that I'm going to stab you in the back?" ”

And for this seemingly natural question, Vane's answer did not hesitate-

"If you can do it, you can try."

There is a confidence that borders on conceit, and all of this undoubtedly stems from confidence in his own martial arts.

"That's it, okay?"

Then she muttered as if she had finished the repairs; As he flipped the switch, the entire cabin became as dazzling as if it had been stuffed into the sun. By the way, the entire cabin is constructed as if it were a living room surrounded by layers of copper walls......

There are all kinds of equipment and daily necessities.

"I'm going to make tea, you should be thirsty."

Without waiting for Natalie to reply, Vane left her seat. Dressed in a pale blue robe, she looks like a knight in a fairy tale.

"Let's have a drink, though I can't guarantee you'll like it." Soon, she unhurriedly brought tea reminiscent of cherry blossoms.

The cups look to be intricately carved from porcelain. "Thank you."

However, Natalie didn't say anything polite about this, but took a sip directly, and immediately the unique aroma of cherry petals seemed to gradually seep into all corners of the body, making people feel relaxed and happy for a while.

"How? That's not bad, right? Vane asked with a vague smile.

"Well, it's delicious. And the smell can't help but make people feel a little nostalgic. ”

- A few words are enough to satisfy Vane, and although it may seem unkempt, it is the best affirmation. "Really? If you like it, it's not in vain for me to choose. ”

After a brief pleasantry, Natalie finally put the cup down and went straight to the point: "Anyway, you should have told me what that thing was, right?" ”

Of course, she was referring to the plant that she had just killed that looked like both a "plant" and an "animal". "What an anxious guy, can't you wait until you're done with tea?"

However, just as Vane finished speaking, Natalie was seen to drink the rest of the tea in the cup at a stunned speed.

And said, "Now you can say it, right?" ”

Wayne couldn't laugh at this, but he still cooperated and gradually opened up the conversation......

"First of all, I think you should know about the meteor shower that destroyed the earth and human civilization many years ago, right?"

"Of course, it's impossible to forget."

However, Natalie, who was originally unfazed, suddenly revealed too obvious sadness and hatred because of this sentence, and at the same time mixed these two feelings of gaze, which impressed Vane deeply.

"In fact, its impact is far more than turning the earth into a planet full of corpses and blood, in fact, my country has also been ravaged...... Thanks to it. ”

"Your country? Aren't you earthling? ”

To this question, Vane's answer did not hesitate, but it was intriguing: "Maybe it should be said, it used to be ......"

And after listening to her answer, Natalie, who vaguely sensed that she might have something unspeakable, did not intend to get to the bottom of it.

"In that case, why did you come to Earth? And the flying device is still covered in bruises? ”

"Today, I was scheduled to be on a resource exploration mission, and it just so happened that Earth was also within the scope of this mission."

"However, on the way to the intended goal, he was attacked by the guy. So in order to defend myself, I had no choice but to make a forced landing of the spaceship. ”

And until you found out, you've been fighting with that guy. However, as you can see, I was defeated. ”

Speaking of this, Vane couldn't help but show a little helplessness.

"You've been competing with something like that, right?"

Natalie remained silent as if she had acquiesced.

"Looks like I guessed right." However, just as she was about to go on with the topic on her own, Natalie interrupted without hesitation: "What are they?" ”

Then she threw out the question that had puzzled her all along. "They are not creatures on Earth, but a catastrophe brought by that meteor shower, which is enough to destroy the civilization of the planet. We gave it a name - the beast. ”

At this point, Natalie finally understood.

"But they're just mutated worms. While it's not hard to defeat them, what's more troubling than that is their numbers. ”

"It's so dazzling that it's so big, and it's really disgusting."

In an instant, Natalie added. "But it's a shame you survived! As far as I know, the earth has completely become their hunting ground. Isn't it? ”

Natalie sighed helplessly again at her words, and then she quietly changed the topic without intending to deny it-

"Can I have another cup of tea? It's delicious. ”

Vane, who readily agreed, got up and left again. "Damn......" After she left, Natalie suddenly couldn't help but curse.

"Also, they live in groups. This is also quite tricky. It's like a human being in the past, not only does he have no one in his eyes, he thinks very highly of himself, but he even multiplies infinitely at all costs......"

"So you're trying to say that there's no value in being saved here?"

For a moment, Vane sensed her hostility and resentment, but even so, she didn't intend to take her words back.

"It may upset you, but I do."

In an instant, Natalie felt a burning pain on her face, as if she had been slapped mercilessly.

"No kidding!"

Then, on the premise that she knew that she had to control her emotions at this moment, she still ignored the advice of reason as a matter of course.

"I'm sorry, I forgot my words." Even when he was yelled at like this, Vane was only acting lightly.

Sometimes, it can even make people mistakenly think that she has no so-called feelings at all.

"Your injuries? Does it matter? However, Natalie was quick to apologize for her gaffe. I couldn't help but worry about her injuries again.

"It's all skin trauma, and I'm used to it. It's okay—"

However, just as she was about to continue the conversation, the cabin suddenly shook violently as if it had fallen into a stormy sea!

"What's going on? What happened?! ”

Then, before the two of them could grasp the situation, all the equipment, including all kinds of instruments and utensils, fell apart in an instant and slid to the side as if they had been discussed......

At the same time, the bodies of the two of them also hit the wall mercilessly as if they were twisted!

"Oops!"

Then, after a period of dizziness that seemed to spin around, he was mercilessly thrown to the ceiling, and as a result, he was hit on the back again as if he was a blow to the head!

"Laphria, look at that!"

Vane followed the direction Natalie was pointing, and the moment he landed, he followed the prestige - he saw the originally empty wilderness, and he didn't know when countless beasts had gathered. That is, with "those guys" who were just killed by Natalie and seriously injured themselves!

And they're heading here without hesitation; The ship quickly gathered!

"Why? Why do they know we're here?! Natalie was taken aback by this, and quickly made the most reasonable judgment -

"In that case, I'll have to go down and divert them, Ravia, you're in charge of activating the ship!"

"It's so messy, do you know how many of them there are? Anyway, that kind of amount is invincible to one person!

"I'm going to try to start the ship now, and you're not allowed to take matters into your own hands, understand?!" At this moment, Vane showed awe-inspiring power and momentum, and that unquestionable attitude actually made Natalie forget to refute in an instant.

"Okay. Just do what you say! ”

However, just when Vane finally came to the control room in the almost earth-shaking impact, after a dazzling operation, she originally wanted to make the spacecraft ignite again and try to lift off in the air, and suddenly discovered a terrifying fact-

"The engine output is low, please replenish the required energy." In the blink of an eye, an error message appeared on the display screen and instantly dragged her into the abyss of despair!

"Running out of fuel? Why at this time?! ”

At the moment when she racked her brains and gritted her teeth for this, the spaceship was turned upside down as a matter of course, and Vane, who was caught off guard, didn't even have time to exclaim, and the back of her head hit the ceiling head-on!

"Lavria!?"

Looking at her who passed out on the ground, Natalie, who couldn't bear it, was furious about it! However, at this moment, she can only be tossed around like a rice ball and can do nothing......

Then, as if the shards of glass falling from the sky were like a downpour, her body was mercilessly drowned in bruises and scars!

"Something has to be done, if they stay indifferent like this, it's going to be their meal!"

However, with all her strength to break through the pressure, she took advantage of the situation to move to the place where the hatch was, and just as it was about to fall apart, she snatched the door out!

"Don't underestimate people!?" After the roar, her figure mingled with the splatters of blood!

Immediately after that, the invincible appearance simply turned this melee in which the enemy had the advantage into a one-sided slaughter! ——

"Treat the enemy with no mercy!" This is undoubtedly Natalie's creed and principle.

"What a pestering guy!" As soon as she finished speaking, she threw all her anger on the enemies around her who seemed to be like a flood of beasts!

followed by a roundhouse kick that quickly turned around, directly penetrating the abdomen of three in a row cleanly! Bursting out of their wails in an instant, they fell to the ground in the blink of an eye! And at the moment when Natalie entangled with them with one person and one sword, Laphria, who had been unconscious for a long time, also regained consciousness as if it were taken for granted.

"That guy ......!" Quickly grasping the situation, she did not hesitate to join the melee!

"Really, you still did that!"

For this somewhat helpless question, Natalie also fought back without hesitation: "It's not easy for you to wake up so quickly!" After confirming each other's safety as if gossiping, the two were back to back, as if facing thousands of troops together!

"After all, we don't need to kill them all, and honestly, even if you and I are strong enough to do this......

"So, just do everything you can to get rid of the part that is wrapped around the engine. Can it be done? ”

In this regard, Natalie's answer made people can't help but admire her courage: "Who are you and me?" If it's just this level, of course, it's a piece of cake! ”

As soon as the words fell, with the cooperation of the two as if they had a heart, the first engine finally saw the light of day again, and there was a light like ripples! "Hurry up!"

"I know!" Soon, all the adsorbed on the surface of the second engine were also shattered!

"The last two left!"

However, just as they were about to take advantage of the victory, Natalie's feet were entangled due to a momentary carelessness, and then her whole body was thrown into the air like dead branches and leaves!

"It's really pestering!"

After sighing with emotion, I saw her make an acrobatic conical whirl on the one hand; While taking advantage of the situation, he used the long knife in his hand to cut off the tentacles that bound his legs, and calmly used the impact and speed of the fall to split the stunned attacker in two!

"Good, that's amazing!"

At this moment, even Vane, who was accustomed to seeing the battlefield, couldn't help but praise her skills.

"The last one!" Then, with a sword that seemed to split the night in two, all four engines were restored to their original state. "Get back to the ship, there's no point in continuing to entangle with them!"

And just as they made that decision, the other party seemed to have made the same decision as them. It's just that the direction in which those guys retreated made Natalie involuntarily break out in a cold sweat-

"That direction is ——!"

There was no doubt that the cave they had flocked to was the cave where they had been, and yet Hatfield was still there!

"The goal of these guys is ......!" If that's the case, she must be held accountable for it.

"Really, how did I forget such an important thing!"

- Never allow others to die in front of you again! This is a principle she has always adhered to, although Natalie herself does not want to be a "hero" or a "partner in justice".

Besides, that guy, Hatfield is not related to him at all, and after all, he is not obligated to risk it for him......

But even so, she turned to Vane and said, "Excuse me, Laphria, please go back to the cabin first!" It occurred to me that something had fallen! ”

After saying that, he chased after him with all his might without looking back! "Hey, I'm trying to make it clear!"

Vane tried to stop him, but didn't, but that didn't mean she would leave her alone.

"What the hell are you thinking? The slightest mistake may kill you! Do you understand? ”

However, when she returned to the cabin alone, she was not trapped by these inconsequential questions in the slightest, and did not hesitate to lift all restrictions on the use of weapons on the ship!

"In that case, I'll take care of the aftermath!"

And of course, what is happening on Earth at this moment, it is impossible for Lemuel, who is in the command room, to know. "How's it going, Riveria, have you found Vane's whereabouts?"

"Not yet, but I've already sent a search team, and I'll try to expand the search as much as possible! And it's almost coming back! ”

After listening, they are comrades-in-arms; She was also a friend, and Lemuel's anxious expression finally eased: "Your Highness Lavria, how about you eat something first?" The maid sought Lemuel's advice; A fruit platter was brought to the side.

"How can I swallow it now, let's put it aside!"

However, he just waved his hand and refused without thinking. "I see. But don't worry too much, she's always been able to turn evil into good fortune, and this time it's the same! ”

Although it was a little abrupt, the maid with golden hair like ears of wheat was really racking her brains to comfort him.

"Thank you, Aether. I'm fine—"

However, just as Lemuel blurted out these words, Riveria, who had been calm in front of the surveillance screen all along, suddenly let out an unexpected exclamation-

"Wait, how can this kind of thing be possible...... The investigation team has all disappeared!? ”

"Gone? What do you mean, you make it clear! ”

However, what he saw, which seemed to happen in an instant, was in fact difficult to describe in proper words, because, as far as he could have seen, the search party of twenty aircraft had indeed "disappeared".

She couldn't find a better adjective than that.

Therefore, when she projected the picture on the big screen in equal proportions, all everyone saw was that the fireworks that seemed to be short-lived were like budding flowers one after another, igniting the dark night one after another!

"Damn! I'll go personally! ”

- After all, it was his sister, and at this moment, knowing that she might be in danger, as an older brother, he couldn't continue to sit in the cold command room with peace of mind. Because whether it is as an older brother; Or as a senior......

No matter what position he was in, he couldn't bear to lose Vane; The pain of losing my only sister.

"I will not let the tragedy happen again, I will never repeat the mistakes of the past!"

However, as he walked briskly out of the command room, Lemuel remembered the dream he had not long ago—and he still remembered a familiar voice telling him—

"You're going to keep losing what's important."

It was not so much a prophecy as a curse: Lela's death was the best proof of that, wasn't it? And despite all his might, he ignored it; Don't believe it and think it's pure nonsense.

However, in the bottom of his heart, he was still trembling with fear of these words. It's just that Lemuel is too good at hiding his emotions.

That's why no one noticed. And the only exception is no longer there......
