The epitaph was clearly newly inscribed, and those who had been reminded by David had also found that the frost next to the handwriting on Jenny's grave bag was noticeably thinner than elsewhere, and there were signs of suspected heat melting and refreezing.

"Elise... Alice—" Lily looked at the last money left on the ground, repeating the name slightly distractedly.

"What's wrong? Do you have an impression of the name, Alice? Could it be that she left a pseudonym? Well... It's unlikely, but it can be seen that the person who left the character has enough respect for the deceased, and the words of the kana are completely contradictory. ”

David asked with a frown, trying to find valuable information from this epitaph, "The Hanyuan?" The descendants of the leader of the biochemical military research group? Companions, could it be that the group of expeditions that sneaked into the ground in his mouth have returned? ”

Lily shook her head, "Again, I don't have any relevant memory data, but as you know, my core database has been hit hard, and it's normal to lose some data, and the remaining data remains sometimes turn into deposited bugs and always affect my logical thinking." ”

"So what? Is this the reason for your intermittent intellectual retardation? David, who had wanted to get a clue from Lily, couldn't help but be disappointed.

"you! Obviously, my attribute is called cute, isn't it? Lily exploded.

In the face of Lily's 'begging for appeasement', David directly chose to ignore it and asked Wren: "Deserted Night, can you see when this handwriting was left behind?" ”

Hearing this, Araya fell directly to the ground, carefully observed the frost lines around the handwriting, and responded: "It shouldn't be more than half a day." ”

"It's not more than half a day, isn't it just that the upper floor has just been opened a hole, and this person has already been the first to come down? It's just a pity, if that child didn't choose to go out, I'm afraid he would still be able to see one of his elders before leaving. David muttered, feeling sorry for the unknown child.

"Then let's hurry up and chase it? There must still be traces left in such a short period of time, right? Lily came to her senses immediately.

"Even if it's half a day, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, after all, the identity of the other party can be roughly inferred to be one of the original group of expeditions to the ground, but the other party is obviously very familiar with this ruin, and we are not familiar with the place, and it is easy to trigger the defense mechanism if we chase after it, it is too dangerous to adopt it."

David shook his head in denial, then pointed to the dilapidated battleship that was used as a temporary lair stronghold inside, "For the sake of conservatism, let's explore this stronghold first, maybe you can find any clues and intelligence." Let's assign a mission, Aramida, take this, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the perimeter, and if there is a hint from the instrument, notify me immediately. ”

"Okay, sir, I like this kind of idle work."

"Miller, you take someone to look for any available transportation in the maintenance platform to see if there is any available transportation, I really can't find it, find some parts and save a car, you should be good at this."

"Oh, I know why it's always my turn."

"Edward, you'll join us in exploring the inside of the stronghold."

"No problem, sir."

As the decaying hatch opened, the emergency lights inside were activated, revealing everything inside to the eyes of everyone.

The paint on both sides of the passage is similarly mottled, and it looks as if it has been washed over a thousand years.

There was also an additional hatch at the end of the corridor, but the lock on it was completely behind the rest of the era, and it didn't cause any trouble for David, so he was directly twisted off by David.

To everyone's surprise, the back of the door was not as dirty as everyone imagined, it was a fairly clean hall, which should have been used as a living room and dining room, and it can be seen that even after the expedition left and the children left behind died, the owner of the place still tried to create a return to the old life.

As soon as they entered the cabin, they could clearly feel that the cold and radiation that resembled an appendage had diminished by half.

This also confirms David's previous suspicion that the battleship is not AI-controlled, so it has an environmental purification system that is still in operation.

As they went deeper, they pushed open one hatch after another, most of which were cabins that had not been developed much, maintaining their original appearance.

The ship was so badly damaged that even when it was fully supplied with energy, it was the kind of thing that would be better to rebuild than overhaul, but it was clear that the repair platform was still trying to repair it before it lost its energy supply.

Everyone took out the black box in the captain's room, but unfortunately, it may be due to being on the periphery, and it is basically a bad lane after being hit by an unknown impact.

Even Lily, without the cooperation of professional auxiliary tools, could not decrypt anything, so she had to stuff it into her backpack first and wait for the conditions to do it.

It wasn't until the trio came to the end of the small warship and pushed open a hatch that was obviously reinforced that they finally made some new discoveries.

At first glance, it looks like a frozen storage area. As soon as I opened it, a chill immediately hit my face.

Seeing the scene behind the door, David frowned slightly, it was full of all kinds of cut organs and pieces of meat!

After comparison, it was the broken corpses of those degenerates in the outside world.

And the ones used to cut these pieces of meat... It's a kitchen knife... The chopping board is more like venting someone's negative psychology and being chopped up full of hideous knife marks.

The people, who had been wondering for a long time and had not been able to find any food supplies, finally understood the answer.

“... Vomit. Among them, Edward's face immediately turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he vomited in a slump of energy.

Knowing this cruel answer, David finally understood why those people had a stronghold that shielded them from cold and radiation, and they still had such a short lifespan with a bio-pheromone shielding device.

If you can only feed on the degenerate who are also human beings after the spare food is exhausted, it will indeed accelerate the decay of radiation sickness.

"David, look at this!" As if offering a treasure, Lily took out a roll of paper of unknown material from an unknown corner and handed it to David.

Leather... Eighty percent are human skins, and most are degenerates.

David didn't bother to disgust Edward's cowardly coward anymore, and quietly brushed away the parchment.

What caught my eye was a map!

Each node above is also marked with the Spark language, indicating what to watch out for and the defense system that may be encountered.

"These eight achievements are the roadmap for the original expedition to get from the City of Glimmers to here." David muttered, it was really hard to find nowhere to step through the iron shoes, and it didn't take much effort to get there.

Although there is no clear language record, David can still guess a thing or two.

This is probably what Jenny had given to the last child before she died.

Because he couldn't wait for the response of the expedition, he wanted the kid to rely on this map to return to the city of glimmers.

Even if you are destined to be in danger along the way, it is better than staying here all day long and relying on the degenerate to feed on them.

It's just that it seems that the child finally refused Jenny's advice, and after burying her, she still chose to stay here, choosing to accompany her mother and companions until the last moment.

David finally let out a sigh, "Creation makes people." ”

And just as he was lamenting the sad fate of these sunken people, the voice of the desolate night suddenly sounded in the communication channel, "Chief, the instrument has responded, and the group of Garda has also come down!" ”

"Good... Before leaving, just surprise them. ”
