Chapter 105
It's always hard to wait, and now I have no appetite at all, even if the delicacies of the mountains and seas are in front of me, I can't eat it, not to mention that what I am looking for is a bland and tasteless nutritious meal.
Since entering the underground base, everyone's food has become this nutritious meal, which is still the version that has not been improved before, and the taste like chewing wax is really hard to swallow.
This is already a good food for people nowadays, what kind of environment is it now? War! Even if you stutter during the war, it is good, in the early years, there were days when you ate grass roots and gnawed tree bark, and now this nutritious meal is more unpalatable than grass root bark? Of course not!
Look at Annie, who has been hungry since she was a child, and knows what it means to cherish food, even if it is the nutritious meal in front of me that is seriously bland and tasteless, she has eaten it all away.
I was afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat, so I quietly pushed my portion to her, and she raised her head and looked at me, "Lu, you eat too!" It's hard to be hungry, I know! ”
"Anne eat first, I'll eat later, I'm not hungry yet." Touched her silky hair and said.
"If you don't eat it, I won't eat it." And learned to threaten me.
"Okay, then I can't eat so much, can you help me eat some?" I had to change my strategy.
Her eyes rolled twice, as if she had made some major decision, "Okay then." ”
So she happily took a small portion of the nutritious meal on my plate.
I ate the rest of the chops on the plate indiscriminately, almost gobbling it up, there was no way, I couldn't eat the flowers if I chewed it again, it was still the same tasteless, it was better to chew it twice quickly.
After dinner, I went back to Natado's room to rest for a while, but I didn't want to sleep, and I was always worried about the safety of my family.
It wasn't long before we saw someone from Natado calling us, and the regular meeting was about to begin.
I woke up the other three and went with them, but sat in a corner and waited until I was done.
Since it's a regular meeting, naturally I won't talk about it at length, just briefly talk about the situation of their respective bases, and as for discussing the next plan of action or something, they don't need to worry about it since they came back.
"Sonatar, wait a minute, I have a few friends here who have some personal matters to ask you about." Just as they were about to end the regular meeting, Nattado spoke.
"What's the matter?" A rough-looking man on the screen frowned slightly.
"It's me, Moon!" Moon stepped forward and revealed his figure.
"It's you, little one, what's the matter?" Seeing that it was Moon who let down his vigilance, Sonatal said in a relaxed tone, "If you want to come over and play, I can't promise you, this is a very good time, and I will promise you as usual." ”
It seems that Moon has a close relationship with this Sonatar, and from his tone, he is like an elder who spoils his juniors, and it seems that Moon has not bothered this Sonatal much in the past.
"It's not this this time, I have a good brother." Moon said as he pulled me from the corner, "Lu! You should have heard his name, his family is in Asia, I would like you to ask about his family. ”
I looked at him with a serious look on my face, with a somewhat pleading look.
"I already know about this brother, Chosen One! Not only are we watching, but the leaders of their country have also sent people to protect them, and they have started to help inquire after the war began, but I'm sorry, I got the news that they disappeared on the day the Atlanteans attacked. Sonatar had a look of guilt on his face.
Hearing this, I suddenly felt that my eyes were dark, thanks to the two of Trist and Moon behind me, who helped me, otherwise I would have been sitting on the ground at this moment.
"Thank you!" I said with a strong spirit, no matter what kind of news I get, at least people have bothered for me, and I still want to thank you.
As soon as the words fell, he waved his hand and ended the call.
"Lu, don't you have a saying that no news is the best news, and my uncle and aunt should be fine." Moon reassured.
"Yes, Jiren has their own heavenly physiognomy, I am proficient in divination astrology, fortune-telling is my specialty, I can deduce it by looking at your face, they are safe and sound." Trist used his tried-and-true fortune-telling to fool people.
"Lu ......" Anne didn't know what to say, but when she saw that I was sad, she came over and gently grabbed my sleeve, stuffed her little hand into my hand, and showed her concern with practical actions.
"I'm fine, and I'm sure they'll be okay too. It's just that now I need to be still. "I thank you all for your kindness.
I returned to my room almost distractedly, and sat down in my chair, I don't know how long it had been, and when I came back to my senses, Moontrist and Anne were both quietly beside me, looking at me with concerned eyes.
I tried to get up, but after sitting for too long, my legs were a little numb, and I stumbled, and I reached out to hold the back of the chair to get to my feet.
"Are you alright?" Trist asked.
"It's okay, what time is it now?" I asked.
"You've been sitting for a day...... Moon replied.
"Lu, I'll go get you some food." Anne said.
"Yes, eat something first, your body matters." The two of them also spoke to persuade them.
"No hurry, how has the situation changed now?"
"Nothing has changed, it's still the same, it's deadlocked. There was no movement, and no movement was seen. ”
"In that case, why don't you go out? It's nice and safe enough, but it's not our home after all, so I believe you don't feel comfortable staying here, right? I asked Trist.
"I don't care, but you're right, I've been here for a long time, and some people are already a little impatient, and I've been walking around and I've heard this kind of sound." Trist was as attentive as ever.
"It can't go on like this, for the sake of life, everyone can bear with it, but this time is critical! If it drags on any longer, the people inside will not be able to stay, and now it is normal to have these sounds, which is already considered good. It's going to get worse in a while, and I'm worried about whether it will cause turmoil next......"
"You're thinking about it well, but now go out, who knows when the Atlanteans will kill the horses? When the time comes, it's still yourself who will be unlucky, and I don't think everyone will understand this and won't take this risk. Trist said.
"Nope! You're wrong, now a voice is an omen, they can't stay still. I'm like now they don't move because there is no way to get out, this is the base, not only can you prevent foreign enemies from entering, but the people inside can't get out if they don't know the way, if they know the way, I think there will be people in danger by now. I said.
Trist is very careful, but he still lacks some consideration for human nature, there have been many examples in history, even if you know that the enemy is at home, you will risk going home, especially for the people who love home, at least I know that there were many such examples during the Anti-Japanese War.
"Do the Lemuraians know about this situation, and what do they think?"
"They? I haven't had time to ask yet. Trist replied.
"Moon, you're a Lemurian, tell me about it from your point of view." I turned to Moon and said.
"Me? Personally, I was born and raised in this place, and I am not used to living here. But after I knew that there was a wonderful world out there, I was also full of curiosity about the outside world, and from time to time I just slipped out to have a look. If I feel the way I go, there will be people who, as you say, will want to slip out. I don't know what the others think, I'm kind of an outlier among the clansmen, they seem to live quite well. Moon said.
"In this way, they will not take the initiative to pay attention, and even if they do, they will not take it to heart, and it is not a matter of fact. If you want to report this matter, it's best to talk to your dad directly and remind him to pay attention to this problem. "As I spoke, Anne had already come over with a nutritious meal.
"Lu, eat first! I added condiments, but it was delicious. Anne pushed the nutritious meal directly in front of me and said, with a look of begging for praise.
"Thank you Anne, I often use Anne's craft." I touched her head and said.
Anne's expression was like that of a cat enjoying the petting of her owner, squinting her eyes with a look of enjoyment.
"Well, it tastes really good!" I gave Anne a thumbs up. This is half true and half false, no matter how delicious the nutritious meal is, it is limited, as for the truth, everything you eat when you are hungry is delicious.
"I'll tell my dad." Moon also replied on the side.
"By the way, when did they all evacuate here?" I asked as I ate.
"Of course, it will only be counted after our formation ship returns! What's wrong? Moon said with a puzzled expression.
"They also disappeared from that time?" I then asked.
"Almost, I didn't pay much attention."
"Trist, you didn't find anything?" I asked
"What's the situation, it's normal, right? The strength is equal, and the two sides cannot win the temporary withdrawal and accumulate strength to fight again. Trist thought for a moment.
I quickly finished eating, pulled them out, and said, "Follow me!" ”
"Don't worry, you have to say where you go." Moon withdrew his hand, not free.
"Your ship! Hurry. ”
"What did you find?" Trist asked.
"Let's talk about getting on the ship." I didn't say much.
Entering the ship, I carefully looked around to make sure there was no one else, and then I was relieved and said, "I don't feel right!" Very wrong! ”
"What did you find?" They asked together.
"I don't know, it's just my gut telling me." I thought about it for a moment and then added, "My instincts are not wrong!" ”
"You ...... that," Moon said without saying more.
"We believe in you, and after being together for so long, we know what kind of person you are. But there is no way to convince others by just one intuition. Trist said, leaning into his hand.
"I know that too, so I'm just telling you."
"Then why did you pull us here?"
"Moon, you talk to Nattado, we're going to go out. Let's see if you can agree. ”
"Why?" Moon asked, "I am afraid I won't agree without the right reason." ”
"Just go to your dad's." It's not easy to find a reason?
"Okay, I'll try."
This reason was easily approved, and I knew that Moon's ship was a bit unique, so I didn't have to worry about being discovered by the Atlanteans, but I still said a word to be safe.
"So where are we going now? You won't tell me to actually go to my dad's, will you? Moon asked as he flew out of the base.
"Of course not. I'd like to go to our own base if I could. ”
"You mean the Knights?" Trist also asked tentatively, guessing.
"That's it! But it seems to be a little far. ”
"It's not a problem to get there, I've already marked it there this time, and I can jump there directly through the space. But is it really necessary for us to go that far? Moon said.
"I don't know, it's just my gut feeling. My gut told me it was good to be there. ”
"What do you say?" Moon asked, touching Trist.
"I think I should listen to him." Trist was very supportive.
"Thank you!" I'm grateful for the trust he placed in me, even if it's just for a ridiculous-sounding reason.
"We're on a team." Trist smiled.
"Then we'll go to the base." Moon laughed as well.
My heart warms, this is my teammates, thank you for your trust, I said silently in my heart.
"By the way, there is also a positioning here, and if there is anything, we can rush back as soon as possible." Trist instructed.
"I still need you to say, I have already set it up."
When we got to our own base, I was completely relaxed, and the sense of urgency that lingered in my heart disappeared.
"How are you feeling now?" Moon said.
"It feels okay now." I told him the truth.
"Now that I think about it, I think there is some truth in what you said." Trist came over and said.
"How?" I didn't even figure out what was going on, what did he analyze?
"I now suspect that the Atlanteans are doing some kind of tricks, since they have been planning for a long time, it is naturally impossible for them to retreat when they encounter such a little obstruction, and they probably expected this situation to happen, maybe they have a backhand." Trist analyzed. "It's just that I haven't figured out how they're going to show up and attack for a while."
I'm also thinking about the seemingly flawless line of defense, and there is nothing that either side can do with the other......
Suddenly I remembered a famous example, the Maginot Line, how similar is the situation in front of me? It's also a seemingly impregnable line of defense, but hasn't it been breached in the end? The Normandy landings have been achieved!
Then they must also have a way to deal with it, since they can't break through from the front, can they bypass the defense line? If they were going to bypass the line of defense, where would they start attacking?
