In the evening, the Dawn Base is still brightly lit. The ubiquitous light pipes disperse every shadow in the base, a world without night, which Summer thought to himself, and underground, the opposite of it.

Summer tried to turn on the communicator, but at first, all I could hear from the terminal on the other side was sizzling.

About ten seconds later, perhaps sooner, an image appeared in front of Summer. The first thing that caught her eye was Willy's peculiar squint, her mutilated pupils wide open, as if she was wondering what was hidden in this thing, maybe she was just looking at summer.

Summer noticed behind her, the cautious young lady was gently wiping her body next to a rusty bath head and the sparse stream of water.

Under the soft light that automatically adjusts with the environment, Summer can clearly see her delicate and petite figure, with twin peaks slightly raised, and the youthful atmosphere that is unique to teenage girls. She was twisting and wiping her buttocks with her wet hair, her perfect soft buttocks were round and chic, and there was no doubt that this was a lethal little stunner, she was enough to drive any man crazy.

Summer had to be reminded in a low, magnetic voice, "May I ask, Miss Verley, is your sister taking a bath?" ”

"Huh?!" Turning around at the sudden voice, Verna saw the head of the abominable man on Verley's wrist, she chose to let out a little girl-like scream, covered her body with a towel, and roared for Verri to get out.

Squinting, Ali stuck out her tongue and slipped into the quilt on the other side of the north.

"Brother Summer, isn't this okay? You should have reminded me with your eyes closed. ”

"If it were a woman from my hometown, the Federation, who was seen in her body, I don't think she would let out a scream like a little girl, she would show off her figure to men without hesitation, and even be very proud that men would appreciate her, I always thought that your sister was a very strong woman."

"She's a girl," Villeri spat at him unpleasantly, "and you're all crooked, you think women are as as men?" ”

"I thought there was hardly much difference between men and women psychologically."

Willy was angry and tried to defend herself, but she never found an exception, are women really different from men? What would they do if they had the power of a man? Most of them are vain, greedy and lustful, lazy and hardworking, no different from men. But isn't that always the case with human nature?

"Have you been out lately," Summer decided to change the subject, "any unexpected discoveries?" ”

An unexpected discovery? Verley cocked her feet and thought, "I went to the "Black Cave" the day before yesterday, and with this glowing thing of yours, I found that there would be a strange sound in the middle of the night, as if someone was gasping," the journey a few days ago frightened her, the ghost cave is an ominous place, people say that it is scaryly dark, all the light will be eaten there, to be honest, she is also surprised that she has the courage to go there.

"You're so brave," Summer sighed, "if I were you, I wouldn't have the guts to do such a thing, and your sister must have admired your courage, huh, suffocating bravery of you." ”

Villeri let out a silly laugh, and she couldn't make out the sarcasm in Summer's words.

"Don't talk about that! Brother Summer, can you tell us about your hometown? The world you say is on the other side of the stars? ”

Summer cleared her throat, "Of course, as long as you don't call me a fantasy fool like your sister." ”

Verna, who was not far away, snorted coldly, and after combing her hair, she walked over in her pajamas, "If you have other thoughts about my sister, I advise you to die, and," her tone was very disgusted and cold, "forget what happened." ”

"Don't listen to my sister's nonsense, tell me about your hometown, the country where you can enter the stars."

"My hometown is a planet called Earth, and like here, the world is occupied by the sea, the sky, the mountains, the ponds and the forests, and it is the human beings who control it, and they have also developed into the industrial age. Truth be told, humans are the most intelligent beings, aren't they? ”

"But it's also the most destructive," retorted Villerie, "that we've been harmed by our ancestors and have to hide here, and those irresponsible bastards don't want their offspring to live until they die." ”

For many years, people have been scolding the ancestors who reduced the remnants to the deep holes, discussing the greed and selfishness of the culprits, and the stupidity of the scientists who invented thermonuclear weapons.

"Our luck may be a little better, a civilization from the depths of space has enlightened our homeland, they are a civilization from the depths of the galaxy, powerful and stable, they have crossed countless starry skies just to find suitable planets to develop......"

"They must be of noble character, and if we find a station suitable for living, the military station and Red Square will have to fight to the death......

Summer smiled lightly, "Ville, they are also human, you have to remember this, wherever humans go, conflicts are inevitable, and that great civilization is no exception. Their internal conflicts have allowed us to evolve into the interstellar age, and in the same way that their conflicts have caused us to struggle with each other on the brink of bloodshed and war, and they are invading us, as it is. ”

"And how did you deal with their aggression? Have you had the courage to take up arms and resist? ”

"Of course not, when your enemies can give you sweeter bread, sweeter honey, and better wine, what do you have to fight again?"

Vilna suddenly interjected, "That's a coward's doing......."

"I have a different opinion than you," Summer's reply was met only with a cold sneer from Verna.

"Miss Verna, to be honest, if I were the stationmaster of this station, I wouldn't want anyone to share this place with me, wouldn't I? Power is the most fascinating thing, I want to bring sweeter honey to your station, but you think you wisely rejected me, because you know that I will share your authority, a stationmaster who can't feed his own residents, and a stationmaster who can fill the food bank at hand, smart people know what to choose. ”

Verley glanced at her sister carefully, she snorted a few times, and turned her head to read, as if she hadn't heard what Summer had just said. Hey, an unrepentant girl, stubborn and stupid.

"Well," Villeri changed the subject, "can you tell us the story of that mighty civilization?" ”

"Their name is the First United Empire of Humanity, a very beautiful name, this vast empire has many member planets, and its capital also has a unique name, the Fortress of Freedom.

We know of a total of two thousand five hundred and sixty-eight planets directly under her jurisdiction, of which there are two thousand three hundred and sixty-six resource planets, one hundred and thirty-nine human planets, and sixty-three death stars. ”

"The Death Star?"

"It is the planets that have experienced devastating blows, like your world, or even worse, that the war has happened to the United Empire of Mankind, and sixty-three planets have been permanently marked with the symbol of the "Death Star", they belong to the Empire, but their only function is to be a symbol for future generations to remember, nothing more. ”

"So who rules this civilization, is it the stationmaster? Or is it something like the Supreme Council of Red Square? ”

Summer smiled strangely, "It's the emperor." ”

"Emperor?" The surprise on Willy's face was palpable, "How is that possible?" "Even here, there is no longer the title of emperor, it is a civilization that can conquer the starry sky.

"How is it impossible, what is the difference between the role of the emperor and the stationmaster, and the Supreme Council you are talking about? Or do you like to call them Führers? However, the supreme ruler of the First United Human Empire does call himself the "First United Human Empire Coordinating Emperor", and the Supreme Council is responsible for the affairs of the First United Human Empire, and the chairman of the council is usually the emperor, and the others are composed of the elites of the member countries that have joined the United Empire. ”

"Why would they need the Emperor? Shouldn't everyone be equal? ”

Summer smiled, "In my opinion, the so-called equality, like the light of the "sun and stars" on the ground, can be seen but not touched, you ask your sister, is the stationmaster really the same as everyone else?" ”

Verna didn't respond, as if she hadn't heard their conversation.

"The Emperor was inherited from a family called Valena, the oldest and oldest family of the Fortress of Freedom, who stood for tens of thousands of years and gained great fame. Every member of their family is handsome, athletic, or delicate, but it doesn't matter.

The Freedom Fortress wanted a core leader with extraordinary prestige to rule over other planets on the other side of the galaxy, and Valen, who was born extraordinary, naturally became the candidate for the ancient nobility of the major Freedom Fortresses. ”

"Is Valian really human?"

"I don't know, people just think that Valian can unite the major nobles and then rule the four directions, and in order to create an "emperor", people have added many names to Valen. Legend has it that they are the descendants of the Sages, they are extraordinary people, and there are legends that they possessed the ability to communicate with foreign objects in ancient generations, and it is also said that they were blessed by the religious gods of the Freedom Fortress, in short, they symbolize the history of the Freedom Fortress, symbolize the cultural bloodline of the Freedom Fortress, and they are the darlings of the Freedom Fortress. ”

Summer let out an inexplicable laugh, "This is the age of science, as time goes by, the religious halo of the Valian family, which has been rampant for tens of thousands of years, is gradually fading, and with them their political halo is also losing power, now the Valian Emperor seems to have become a puppet, the speaker of the Supreme Council has gradually become a symbol, the major local elites have begun to show their skills, some of them have even done more than the emperor, the parliament is melting like spring snow, and local forces are spreading everywhere like a crazy fence, The parliament is split, and people smell war. ”

Willy regrets this, it seems that people everywhere like to fight, just like Red Square and military posts, and this war, only God can know how many planets will become the Death Star.

"I'd like to hear something interesting, like........ Well....... The continent of ice, the sea of flames, and the flashing meteors, do you have any of these? ”

"It's a very common thing there, Ville, I have seen the Ice Continent and the fiery mountains in your world, and if you have the chance, you can go out and have a look."

"I have seen the sky and the earth, and the cities on earth," she proudly declared again, "and when I see the Polar Ice Continent and the Sea of Fire, I will undoubtedly be the greatest stalker in the world, and I think everyone will remember me." ”

"You're the greatest fool in the world, and every greatest stalker in the world is dead, and unfortunately, you're not," her sister said with a cold sarcasm, "and when you die outside, your father will shed tears, and the people outside the station will say, "Look, the great fool of the Venser family wants to see the sea of flames, did she jump in and swim, or why wouldn't she be able to come back now?" ”

Verley tried to refute, but was stopped by Summer.

"What you have witnessed with your own eyes is the truth, not to mention that this is just my words, I think, when you see the Polar Ice Continent, your sister will naturally not question it."

Verna didn't bother to respond to Summer's words, but her sister was eager to try, "I believe what the book says, and I believe your words, the Ice Continent must exist." ”

Summer is only a shallow curl of the corners of the mouth, of course it exists, and when you actually witness it, you will probably be disappointed, it is nothing more than a dead and silent land, lifeless, cold and biting, it just looks beautiful.

"Willy, what's the latest news at your station, I want to know about your world."

"Ah, the news? Are you talking about something that happened recently? ”

Summer nodded, "I'm always bored on this ground alone, tell me about it." ”

"Where does this start?" Willy scratched her head in annoyance, "All I know is that the price of mushroom sauce has gone up again recently, and there are moss chips on the side, which is my favorite thing to eat." ”

"Why are they going up?"

Velly became extremely cautious about this question, first she looked at her sister carefully, and then lowered her head, "It seems that the caravan carrying moss chips and mushroom sauce has been attacked by something recently....... The entire caravan was missing, including three mercenaries with guns, and now people were speculating about what exactly had taken them. ”

Summer thought about it, and suddenly a picture from not long ago came to mind, it was several monsters covered in black fur, they had the face of an orangutan, but they were far more violent than the orangutan, their teeth were lined up, like inverted daggers, and their eyes were a deep dark red, like bloodshots, which the synths said were the result of the combined effect of radiation and the psionic energy of the Boundary Wormhole.

It's been a year since the Boundary Wormhole was opened when the synths were looking for their Emperor, and there is no doubt that, according to the synths, psionic energy is infiltrating everything here through the wormhole, and although it is now closed, the influence has been done and the psionic energy has spread.

It is likely that the murder was the work of a psionic monster, but Verri has the exact opposite answer. "It must have been done by one of the major powers, or by some other station," the territory where the caravan disappeared this time was within the realm of neutral territory, and the caravan itself came from a neutral station, "someone is disrupting trade," Ville concluded, who else but the Han Court would destroy a neutral trade route independent of the Han Court?

Summer couldn't verify her answer, but also, humans have always been the most terrifying creatures, they can turn an entire planet into a world of radiation and dust at any cost, and now it's just a trivial matter of making a caravan disappear, if it's good for them, what if it's good for them?

"In any case, no one will take the liberty of doing something unprepared, if it is really what you said Han Ting did, perhaps, you should worry about your situation, but it is also possible that others are sowing discord, it is always good to be careful."

Willy shrunk her body tightly, and she seemed to feel the ominous aura that permeated her surroundings, "The people of Hanting are greedy, if they really did it," Willy pursed her lips and whispered, "They must have some other conspiracy." I really don't understand, the bright stars are outside, why are people willing to kill each other? Verley muttered under her breath, seeking answers from the man she had known for only a few days, "Why? ”

"Who knows? Perhaps, more wonderful than the starry sky....... It's human beings ....... each other. ........ of the fight"

Yes, Villerie's mouth opened and closed like a tiny goldfish, and she couldn't understand why the fight was better than the starry sky.

.......

Today is another chat between Villeri and Summer, the ground is still surrounded by stars, the underground is the same eternal night, Summer will focus the screen on the night star, so that Willy can have a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of the hot night.

Willy exclaimed, she saw the stars in the night, beautiful and dazzling, as the world is in the best of the world.

"Brother Xia, can humans really build a fortress in space?"

"Of course, Earth has its own space fortress, countless ships coming in and out of this huge port, most of them from the other side of the stars, carrying countless cargo, and all kinds of strange things, it is a huge port that can accommodate up to a million people, it is the only way for us to connect with outer space."

"A million people ......." Ville Li was shocked by this statistic, in this world, there are only a few of them.

She couldn't help but feel a little admiration for that kind of world, which was another ultimate goal, another dream after climbing on the ground and looking up at the starry sky - to go to the stars.

She hides in narrow tunnels all year round, can reach the top with a jump, carries a torch when she walks, and is surrounded by intertwined pipelines and cold cement, how can such a world compare to the outside.

She was like the frog at the bottom of the well, and could only see nearby. She felt suffocated at the thought of how pathetic her life had been, but now the stars lifted her, and the daylight, the poisonous sunlight that all stalkers feared, she could touch and enjoy it with impunity.

"Brother Summer, you say, one day, can I see such a world, a giant steel ship floating in the air, a starry sky fortress that never falls, and ...... Oh, the colossal statue of the Fortress of Liberty, and, and, ....... That superplanet wrapped in metal, is it okay? "She's like a child who has always been curious about the outside world, but also, she's still a child, isn't she?

"Of course you can," Summer couldn't help but laugh as she was emotionally infected, "You'll see everything I've said and more...... Guaranteed to make you unforgettable. ”

If the synths are right, you'll see the demons of the Void, the star-devouring behemoths, the greedy swarms, the mechanical currents sweeping the galaxy, and countless careerists from the center of the galaxy, with cannons and giant ships as the main theme of the future, accompanied by endless blood and fire, and thick gunsmoke.

Whether it was a lie or a real prophecy was impossible to know in the summer, but it would be nice to have one more friend to witness such a future.

For some reason, thinking like this, a kind of sadness arose in his heart.

Summer fell silent, he looked at the pure and innocent smile in a daze, and the girl's eyes also revealed another kind of incomplete beauty, she was a sincere girl, a rare good girl, maybe she was not as dazzling as her sister, with a messy hair every day, but Summer had to admit that she had some kind of charm that her sister could not match.

"You're so pretty," Summer tried to remedy his abrupt compliment, suddenly regretting his abrupt compliment, "Well, I mean, you look good with a smile." ”

Verri's eyes widened, she opened her mouth without uttering a word, her face quickly turning from pale to red.

She's not a boring person, but no one has ever boasted of her charm so sincerely that she's become so overwhelmed.

"That...... What nonsense are you talking about, uh, I've got something," Villeri explained stumbling as she hurriedly pressed the communicator.

The light dissipated, and the surroundings quickly fell silent.

All that was left was the sluggish Villeri staring at the communicator in a daze.

"That flamboyant bastard," Werner sneered, "he thought he would trick you into helping him "sell fruit" by saying a few good words, Ville, keep your eyes open and don't be fooled by a few sweet words from him. ”

"I'm not good," exclaimed Ville Rey, pretending to be nonchalant, "no one ever said I was pretty, and I wasn't stupid." ”

Verna looked at her sister's face, and she wondered if the silly girl had listened to what she was saying.

"Ville, he's just a fantasist full of lies, a flying fortress with a million people, a steel fortress that can float, and what empire is that, do you really believe that?"

"But....... This thing ......." Villeri listened carefully to some of his words, "sister, have you ever seen anything like this?" A small machine that can connect the ground and the underground, many fruits and vegetables that have never been seen before, it is impossible for the military station and Red Square to have such technology, how can we think that he is lying? ”

"Red Square has repeatedly claimed that they have hidden secret weapons to destroy the world, and the people in the military station are crazy, no one knows what they have, of course, he may not be all lies, but I still hope you can be wise, a person who really has this kind of technology, but he is so interested in you and Gray River Station, do you think he is here to give us a warm sigh? Or is he really impressed by your messy hair and not-so-pretty eyes? Also, he wasn't the first to say that you were beautiful, and you forgot who was the last person who complimented you on your beauty? ”

The last one complimented me on being pretty? Verley remembered the vicious joke she had played before. The bet between Sifu's son and those sons from the Hanting Alliance, about Wei Li's bet.

It was a very infuriating bet, and it was the son of Sifu who sat in the bank. One of them offered a large reward, and claimed that whoever could get Willy's favor would be rewarded with a box of bullets, and whoever opened Ari's bud with squinted eyes would be given all the rest of the reward.

Fortunately, Werner was the first to know about this, so when the sons of the big merchants of the stations took turns boasting about Ville's charm, Werna gave them a hard blow, and the son of Sifu broke his leg because of this, so Sifu and the others had a conflict, and soon after, Sifu's family was driven out of Gray River Station.

It was the first time she had been boasted about, but she was wise at the time, those men were never good people, and she could afford their malicious bets. But this time.......

If he's also lying........ As soon as she thought of Brother Summer, Willy's mind kept flashing those dark and deep eyes. And a symbolic chuckle, is he trying to trick me out of something? Or does he just want to get close to me? Or my sister?

Villeri only felt her heart a little stuffy, as if a few big drums were beating, if he was lying to her, what should she do?

The silence between the sisters lasted for about ten minutes, and Villeri sat up, "Did you hear anything, sister?" ”

It was a few screams from the depths, terrible and painful, like a pregnant woman about to give birth, but much lower and dull to the point of panic.

Verna sat up and listened intently, "Maybe it's just some kind of dark creature in the tunnels that go berserk at night. ”

"Yes....... But I've never heard a cry like this......."

The sound was a little sleepless, and even Verna couldn't help but pack her clothes, and she put on her thick coat and looked into the distance.

"I'll take a look, you can rest first."

"Let's go to ......."

Villeri opened the window, and the cold air penetrated her lungs, causing her throat to tingle.

In the distance, there were open flames, and from time to time people came out of tents and tin houses.

"Stationmaster......." In the distance, two deputy stationmasters and a large group of soldiers hurried over, their faces were cold and cold, and they trotted over in full armor, "There is a problem with the No. 1 outpost. ”

Vilna's heart felt clenched, and she gritted her teeth and pulled a torch over it, and walked grimly towards the shadows in the distance, followed by Verry.

"Can't reach them?"

"No....... No answer......."

Suddenly, there was a terrible scream in the distance, it was a human. "Inform all soldiers to come here."

"Yes!"

"Others...... Come with me and come to support. ”

Velry shook her shoulders uneasily, and the young soldiers swallowed frantically and even coughed lowly, and they were also startled by the sound.

At that moment, a man swooped out of the blackened tunnel, and he ran towards them in a hurry, this soldier was the recruit who had only recently joined the sentry, Evan. Iron, he was covered in stains, and his fingers trembled as he pulled at the soldier who had come to his aid, "Black...... A lot....... They're coming ......."

His speech was slurred, and his tongue seemed to have been bitten off by himself. But everyone noticed that half of his palm had been bitten by something, and he was covered in blood, like several scratches on his clothes like a rotten rag, and blood was pouring out from these three-claw scratches, black and purple. He was so poisoned that his blood was infected like this, and his life was short.

"Darkness....... Here they are........" He was completely overwhelmed by fear, repeating the phrase all the time. Vilna had him taken to the infirmary.

"Miss Verna, they've been attacked, and we need to help.

The soldiers decided they needed help, but maybe it was us, and Verna didn't even know what was coming.

"Highest Emergency Readiness," Verna stared deep into the tunnels in the abyss, but couldn't tell what was happening there, "We're setting up a defensive line here at the sealing valve, and all the sentinels guarding outside are to be contacted, we need their support." Iron Line, you try to find their stationmaster at Feishui Station, and say that we have encountered some dark creatures and need their support. ”

The other stations may not be able to save themselves, but the stationmaster of Feishui Station is an old friend of her father, and they are also on the same front.

"Are you going to abandon our soldiers, stationmaster?" An elderly deputy stationmaster was extremely upset, and his son was among the sentry on this side, "You can't do this, stationmaster. ”

"When you were the stationmaster, you ordered me like this, and now, either listen to me or deal with it according to the regulations." Verna's tone was cold, and she stared at the old man tightly, who took a deep breath before choosing to dodge.

Kashgar on the other side shrugged uneasily, "We haven't decided how many ....... each other has Maybe save ......."

"Damn, you sniff it with your nose and their stench is wafting over, how much do you think that's there? Everyone, set up a defensive line, set up a defensive line, and arrange ten logistics personnel to be responsible for pacifying the inhabitants of the station, not causing riots, and organizing their evacuation if necessary. ”

"Yes."

"Haig, take a few of the most courageous soldiers, go to the outpost to check the situation, and if the situation is not good, withdraw immediately."

Haig was silent for a moment, and soon agreed to this most dangerous task, and he called a few brave soldiers, most of them men of integrity and honor, and even if one or two of them were unwilling to defy the blatant military orders, he quickly hurried away.

Looking at their figures disappearing into the darkness, Verna suddenly turned around, "Deputy stationmaster, I'm just a little girl who has just been in office for a year, and I don't know much about some things, dare to ask me if this arrangement is appropriate?" ”

The deputy stationmaster, who had a slight objection just now, wiped the sweat from his forehead and didn't say a word.

"The others are on standby, checking all combat readiness, keeping their eyes open, and at the same time making sure that in every corner, our enemies are likely to be everywhere, and it is also possible that it is your own people who may appear in front of you, and I don't want you to do anything wrong." Everyone quietly set up a defensive line, and at the same time, more and more sentinels from other directions approached the area.

Vilna stood behind the line, her hands and feet straight, fear like a blade around her neck, duty was her last shield, but now she only felt that this shield was like papier-mâché. She's the stationmaster, and if even she's scared, what should others do? She thought about her father, how he would command these people if he could still stand here.

She needs to think about more now. There are only two passages ahead, one is the dead end of the square station, and the other is the living road to the head of the Dawan station, but there are several stations over there, the head of the big bay station, the aquarium, a few lonely neutral stations, and a military station further away, where it is impossible to fall, Verna does not dare to doubt, if even the military station falls, what will they use to resist the tide of these monsters. So, are they coming from Plaza Station?

How many years has there been no problem at the square station, why did the accident happen in the past two days? Verna's mind conjured up the face of the strange man, his smile so hypocritical and cold, could he have done it. Because I rejected his idea of trade, he wanted to bring down my Grey River station and cause chaos on the subway.

Evan. The wound of iron was undoubtedly caused by some ferocious beast, could it be that the man could drive the beast? Like the castle he created with illusion, he's essentially a complete wizard? However, wizards are nothing more than a child's fantasy trick.

His castle, the sunlight and the starry sky that he saw with his own eyes, all of this tells the mystery of this man, what he wants to do, and whether the beasts here can be entangled with him...... Verna pondered, but could not get an answer.

Thinking of this, Verna couldn't help but turn her head and call out to her little sister, "Verley, go back to the carriage and get a good night's sleep." ”

"That's not going to work," Villerie's eyes widened as she began to jump to her feet, "I'm the only stalker here, and besides, I'm pretty good at guns, so staying here might help." ”

Verna's face became stiff, why is her sister still so ignorant? She was about to get angry when suddenly, a scream suddenly appeared in the distance, it was Haig. Then there was the sound of gunshots, the sound of bullets hitting steel and stone walls, oh, and the stench, which grew thicker and thicker, lingering and disgusting.

The soldiers looked at each other by the campfire and the light bulbs, the screams too sharp and too painful.

"Let's go support them......." a young soldier stood up.

"Come back," Werner listened to Haig's screams and help, even though she knew he was not far away.

"Stay here....... There are others behind you, remember that. ”

The soldiers fell silent, and the distant gunfire faded away. Their hearts were torn and they listened only to the crumbling of bones, and the rustling of more as they moved, as they brutally feasted on the corpses of their companions in the tunnel ahead.

Damn it, Verna felt nothing more than her mind being torn apart by two invisible black hands that were eating away at her warriors. And she had to stand dozens of meters away, letting them ravage these bravest soldiers.

The chewing of the squirting sounded incessantly, interspersed with one or two helps, followed by endless moans and screams, Haig, Asha, Leng Shi, these were the good hands of the sentinels. Haig was her relative, her father's warrior, her uncle, and now his life was in his own hands. Asha was the strongest gunslinger in the station, and Vilna remembered his mastery of marksmanship, his penchant for alcohol, and by the way, his wife, the kind Aunt Tina, was waiting for him. And Leng Shi, he is withdrawn, but sensitive and full of courage.

The others, all of them are her soldiers, the courageous sentry under her, the clever Jike who loves to play tricks, the womanizer Lu Ben who likes to hang the Hanting maiden on his lips, and the fast gambler who plays dice, everyone has their shortcomings, but everyone has their own honor.

A cold wind blew from the corners of the tunnel, sweeping in gusts of disgusting blood, thick moisture, and the old rancid stench of the monster like a muddy field.

Should I let them be slaughtered? She couldn't help but suspect that the shield in her heart immediately began to disintegrate bit by bit with time, "Go over and help them ......" After saying this, she seemed to be sucked away from the power to support her spinal cord, and she couldn't help but lean on her sister. The soldiers raised their rifles, abandoned the formation line, they raised torches, flashlights, and rifles and began to fire forward.

Verri tried to follow, but was held back by Vilna, who took a deep breath and stood up, "Follow me," and she followed the soldiers forward.

.......

Summer stared out the window deeply, dark brown clouds like a layer of dirty cotton, obscuring the sky that should have been blue, and the year-round storms and scattered snowflakes flew in all directions, like white elves, gnawing at every part of the ruins.

"The world is roaring......." Summer muttered to herself, "time flies so fast, are we in the middle of winter now?" ”

"Your Majesty, climate impermanence is but the most common feature of this ruined land, and soon the blizzard will cease."

The whistling wind hit the metal walls, but it didn't make a sound, the outside world was restless, but the inside was as dead as ever, he was so bored.

"Maybe I should go underground and check ......." Verri's communication suddenly disappeared a day ago, and she still can't respond to Summer's communication request, maybe she's in some danger, which is not good for Summer, she's Summer's only friend in the Underworld, and without her, he's as blind as he can't understand everything there.

"Our security forces cannot ........"

Summer looked out the window deeply with her hands behind her back, "The empire needs to evolve quickly, but we can only passively wait, synths, this is not good, adventure is necessary, isn't it?" ”

"If you insist on going down....... Then we will bow down to your will. ”

"Then help me get everything ready." Summer was getting used to commands, and he didn't know if it was good or bad, but as far as he thought, it was better to be proactive than to be led astray by these synths.

Soon, heavily armed Summer appeared near the platform.

He stepped onto the platform, where a crumbling staircase led to the ground, a deeper place that, if there was no error on the communication equipment, was the entrance to the lightless world.

The other end of the world is the polar opposite of the Dawn base, it is a place of filth and filth, underground, mutated monsters are no less than on the ground, and in the deeper narrow caverns, those tunnels that no one dares to approach, are the lair of monsters, a country full of shadows.

This is the closest place to the surface, and Summer knows that if even this place is full of dangers, there will be no living people in the whole underground.

The only passage to Grey River Station was so narrow that it had to be cleared by borrowing the security robot's energy gun in the summer.

A straight deep blue ray swept across the tunnel, and the stones shattered with the sound.

Watching the energy gauge of the energy gun slowly empty, and the stones on both sides of the passage turned into shards, I felt a little bad in the summer, if the energy gun was used up here, there would be no light and heat energy underground to replenish.

Summer regretted it slightly, he should have brought both security robots down, why bother leaving one security robot to guard the Dawning Base. After all, if the emperor is not there, what is the point of a "palace" without people?

Summer gritted her teeth and continued to move forward.

The tunnel was like the tangled stomach of a black beast, and at its end was another, more dull darkness, darker than asphalt, thicker than tar, and bleaker than a crow's feather, and had to turn on the lights in summer.

Even the glare of the lamp could not cover the light ten meters away, as if something had cut off these tiny white tentacles in the distance, candle flames, bonfires, or lanterns, all of which could not escape the fate of annihilation.

As he reached the depths of two hundred meters, a foul stench came.

Summer sniffed his nose, his heart became cautious and cold, this was the smell of blood, the further he went, the more solemn the smell of blood became, sticky and smelly, making people feel sick.

He soon noticed that there were more slippery water stains around him, and the water stains were a kind of black like ink, but not cloudy, no, some of them were dark red, indeed blood.

In addition to this, he saw a pale severed arm, the flesh on the arm had been eaten away, and only the abrupt hand bones were wet and exposed, which looked very terrifying.

What happened here seemed ten times more terrible than he had imagined, and Summer became cautious and he continued on his way.

A sealed valve stood between the two passages, and there were no barricades between them, only a bleak bonfire and a copper-yellow wick that had only been lit up for a long time, and oh, a few skeletons crawling with maggots, and some kind of blood-sucking long-tailed moth that had survived in the darkness crawling on a puddle of bare blood leaking on the ground.

Summer found the corpse of a deformed monster that resembled a chimpanzee, short and strong, with a dark pink tongue, teeth like iron hooks hanging upside down in both jaws, and eyes as scarlet as they had been seen on the ground before, which were more brilliant in the dark, like two jewels floating in the air. The monster has a sturdy limb, and its claws are more sinister and sharp, like half a saber on its feet.

As the summer progressed, the stench of corpses became more pronounced, the number of bones gradually increased, and the corpses of monsters also increased dramatically, accompanied by a strange sour smell that had lingered since the beginning. Summer knew that the place was under attack by such a beast, but there was nothing he could do to find out what it was.

The entire subway station has been completely reduced to a nest of flies, and every step you take in the summer will splash a cloud of flesh and blood, and you will also step on a black shadow of insects, and the wings generated by their dense wings flapping, and the ubiquitous buzzing sound, all of which make people gloomy.

In the summer, I walked through a sealed valve and entered the platform. The metal and stone houses on both sides of the platform have probably been destroyed, and the tents made of cloth are not to be said to have happened.

The corpses of human beings, the blood spilled, the bones of monsters, were crumbled together to paint a picture no worse than a living hell, and the smell was terrifying.

He saw the carriage that belonged to Villerie, to whom she had shown off. The doors of the carriage were open to both sides, and there were a few small bullet holes in the glass on the side, and the bullets pierced the glass and hit the monsters, but there were no corpses inside.

Summer wasn't sure if they had been taken captive, or if they had been eaten, or if they had just run away, and if there was a positioning system on the communicator, it would be fine, but for now, ....... He didn't let each other connect to the positioning system for the sake of protecting the other party's privacy, and now he naturally can't find where the other party is, which can be regarded as self-inflicted.

"Your Majesty, there are many people who were dragged away by monsters, and from the analysis of the age structure of the deceased at the scene, I think most of the people who were taken away were young women."

Summer found that this was indeed the case, and most of the corpses that were eaten were men and children, and the younger women were almost gone.

"Why do they take women?"

"Your Majesty, judging from the composition of the remaining secretions at the scene, I personally think that they may attack here for the impulse to reproduce, if Your Majesty wants a more accurate answer, we need to bring the sample back for study."

To reproduce, do they have no females of their own, and need to go to a strange place to plunder? What's more, the threat of this kind of thing is so huge, and there are a lot of them, the Gray River Station should have been prepared a long time ago, could it be some kind of emergency?

Summer looked at the dead bodies and probably knew that most of them had been taken away.

His only friend underground was taken away.

"Should we save her?"

"Your Majesty, it's foolish to go deep into the monster's lair, not to mention, it's just a girl who's only seen her for a few days, and your safety is at stake."

Summer looked into the distance, and the cave came from ahead, disappearing behind him, with no end in sight. This long tunnel to the abyss, it is looking at itself, as if if it takes a step forward, it will turn into a giant mouth and swallow everything.

The synth says that his safety is a matter of the galaxy, but what does the galaxy have to do with him? After his death, even if the galaxy is destroyed immediately, it will not be a problem. In the final analysis, he just didn't have the courage to take this step, not to mention, his reason kept shouting in his heart that they were probably hopeless.

It's hopeless! He took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards the darkness on the other side.
