Section 562 Returning Home

The cold wind whistled through the snow and ice. As far as the eye can see, the whole world is white.

This is the North Pole of the Relic Planet.

Because of the lack of stellar light energy, the temperature here is extremely low. The icy winds reached 170 meters per second, and even a tiny particle of ice could be accelerated to the point of being as dangerous as a bullet. At the same time, because of the rapid flow of air, the strong winds here are also entrapped by countless vacuum faults, also known as 'wind ferrets', which can easily cut hundreds of millimeters of alloy. Low temperatures, strong winds, and a lack of food to support life have gradually become a forbidden area for life on the relic planet. No living thing has come close for a thousand years.

But today, on the distant horizon, a line of figures is slowly approaching.

They are dressed in heavy hooded hats and are equipped with armored modules in key areas. Like an ant, it walks through the wind and snow. Ice particles hit the body, splattering sparks from time to time. They move slowly, sticking their feet into the ice with almost every step to withstand the wind. Beneath the hood of the big hat are pieces of cold armor, like machinery.

......With a shrill sound, one of them suddenly erupted with a blazing steam from his left shoulder, and the piece of armor was instantly lifted by the wind. Revealing the complex optical path structure underneath. Before he could react, an invisible weasel burrowed into his broken spot and sliced off half of his torso.

Blood spurted and was blown away by the wind. The headless corpse shook and fell to the ground. Never move again.

The procession was still moving, and no one looked at him, as if nothing had happened.

This is the North Pole of the Relic Planet, a forbidden area for life.

From the moment the party stepped here, they were used to death......

The wind howled, and after three hours, the team finally found a sheltered ice rock and settled. Lil walked up to the top of the ice rock and lifted the hood of the big one. Immediately...... The long fiery red hair flew in the wind, like a sudden fire.

From her. An extremely large ice sheet can be seen in the distance. This ice sheet is round in shape. Hidden in the endless rolling ice fields. It's so abrupt and unusual. There are no mountains on the ice sheet, only thick layers of ice and snow, like ancient armor.

To be sure, such an ice sheet is nothing special, except that there was once a lake beneath it. But only Li'er knows that this is her destination this time.

Walking down the ice rock, a mutant has already brought towels and hot water. Lil wiped it briefly, and when she put it down, the towel had already become an ice cube. She was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"How's Sarek?"

"Your Excellency is out of danger. He is recovering. According to preliminary estimates, he will wake up in another hour and 32 minutes. At the same time, seventy percent of the combat effectiveness was restored. Another mutant replied. I saw that he was hiding an old face under the hood. He is a wise man.

There are not many wise men in Li'er's kingdom, so every wise man has an extremely important position in the kingdom. The fact that he was here shows how much Lil values this adventure.

But it was precisely because of his existence that Sarek was able to save his life,

After all, Sarek's injuries were too serious, not to mention that he had crushed a heart, and he had been severely injured by Li'er one after another before. There is not much life left in the body. The cell was also on the verge of rioting. The most serious thing is that in addition to the physical trauma, Sarek also has a certain death heart. So much so that even if Lil gave him a second heart, he couldn't make up for it. If it weren't for the Wise Man carrying an emergency petri dish, it is not clear whether Sarek would have survived.

However, after emergency cultivation, Sarek was a blessing in disguise, expanding the bioenergy pool again. When you wake up, you will definitely touch a new stage.

"He's lucky." After listening to the wise man's report, Li'er said coldly. At the same time, he glanced under the ice rocks.

By this time, the mutants had carved out a wide cavern of ice rock and built piles of bonfires. Above the campfire, large pieces of frozen meat tumbled in the marching cauldron, soon emitting an enticing aroma. Because of habit. The Star Thief's nutrient solution is not liked by mutants, and is only used as a prop for emergency energy replenishment. The main means of energy acquisition are still primitive and rudimentary. But such a primitive camping scene gives mutants a sense of home. There was a faint smile on everyone's face.

They are all very ugly, and have been concocted more than once in order to obtain the power of force. As a result, the facial muscles are distorted, and there are scars of all sizes. If you just look at your appearance, it is enough to scare children from crying. But when these smiles appear on their faces, they are so innocent. It's like a bunch of kids.

"It's so easy to get satisfied...... Li'er lowered her head, her gaze blurred. Before she knew it, her mind was back to the apocalyptic planet. That cold sewer......

A piece of meat that I can't tell what part it is, a cold gaze. A dirty blanket. A sheltered cottage.

In fact, isn't she easy to satisfy? At that time, that was all she had, right?

Even if it has evolved to the point where it is now, he enjoys the treatment of an emperor. Lil still doesn't feel as warm as she was then. No matter how many people she is surrounded by, she still feels lonely.

Is it because it's her home? Or is it because of ...... There...... Ever had an arm to lean on?

Or maybe there's a feeling...... Is the name Happiness?

Unconsciously, Li'er felt a little cold, and wrapped the big on her body tighter again. Then he raised his head and coldly commanded the wise man.

"Only an hour off. Then we set off. Tell everyone to try to supplement with high-calorie foods. Check the equipment and equipment. Then we won't get any more rest. Be prepared for continuous battles. ”

"Yes, my lord." The wise man bowed his head in reply. At the end, he glanced at the camp again, and said with regret. "If only we didn't throw away that gear. With the rest of the equipment, we may not be able to support too high-intensity operations. ”

"It's inevitable." Lil replied. The tone was as cold as the nearby ice rocks.

"I don't want to be spotted by those people hovering overhead. While the magnetic field here is large enough to shield holographic scanning, the chaotic binary rules also discourage them. But we can't underestimate anyone. Remember......" Lil turned her head and stared into the wise man's eyes. "We are the forgotten, the outcasts of the universe. You can't expect anyone to survive. Do you think they're going to really support us? When you find out that we have opened a new path? ”

"Childish." Lil smiled coldly. "The only thing we can gain is betrayal."

With that, she was no longer sensible, and turned and walked towards the cave.

The cold wind howled...... Roll up ice crystals into flakes. It's so cold and cruel............

The rest is short, and an hour can only allow everyone to eat a hot meal and then warm up their bodies. However, in the extremely cold Arctic, this little warmth will soon disappear with the wind and snow. In turn, they will rely on their own energy and armor systems to sustain their lives.

After glancing at Sarek in the middle of the group, Lil wrapped herself tightly and walked out of the cave in the eyes of everyone. Behind her, all the mutants silently lowered their armor and followed without saying a word.

The wind and snow flooded the heavens and the earth. They trudged hard, little by little, to get closer to the ice sheet. Three hours later, Lil finally arrived at her destination. The very center of that ice sheet.

From here, everything around is completely white, and the visibility is less than 100 meters. Lil nodded in satisfaction. Finally, a smile appeared.

"Do you know what's under this ice sheet?" She asked softly, but her voice reached the wise man's ears clearly.

The wise man hurriedly leaned down to inspect it, and then took out the instrument to test it for a while. Then he shook his head. "I'm sorry my lord, I can't answer you. All the results showed that we were beneath our feet in a solid layer of ice with a thickness of kilometres. It is presumably the product of the freezing of some ancient lake. And after testing, I found that the molecular structure of this ice layer is very special, and the hardness may be stronger than the alloy armor of a battleship. Coupled with the environment, I think it's hard for us to excavate without alarming the adults above. ”

"What's more, I still haven't been able to find anything unusual down there. I don't know where the passage you mentioned is. The wise man said after the most reluctance. Perhaps, we need more time to search. ”

"No, I don't." Li'er waved her hand and said lightly. "Any search is a pointless act. I'll tell you the truth, the ice under our feet is definitely not just a kilometer, but at least a dozen kilometers. It's like a plug that plugs the planet's navel. ”

"What we need to do is to penetrate this ice and enter the umbilical canal of the planet."

"What?" The wise man was startled. How can such a plug be lifted on ice with a thickness of more than 10 kilometers?

It would have been a normal situation, but now there are two motherships hovering overhead. Any large-scale energy mobilization will cause them to perceive. As a result, it is almost impossible for them to carry out high-intensity work. And how can all this be done?

The wise man didn't ask Li'er how she knew the exact data of the ice. But he knew that this would be a difficult hurdle to overcome.

Unless, they can ignore the monitoring of the mothership above.

"Don't worry." Liel was very optimistic, showing a faint smile. "I'll fix it all. I promise, no one will find out about us. ”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and stood in the snow. The long fiery red hair flew out like a raging fire......

This fire, melted into the wind and snow, and seeped into the earth. In silence, Li'er's thoughts touched an indescribable place. That's something Lil had noticed from the beginning.

"I'm coming......" she whispered. Like the call of a homecoming wanderer. "Take me...... ...... home."

Rumble...... The ice sheet trembled, and a spider's web cracked around Lil. Rapid spread......
