It was easier to break away from the pursuit of these creatures than Lin Youde imagined, and they only chased Lin Youde and his party for sixty kilometers before giving up.

[Shouldn't we sigh 'them, they chased them for 60 kilometers'? 】

Noah's complaint made Lin Youde shake his head: [This is not a smart creature, they won't be too far away from the lair. 】

"You said that we were driven so far by a group of super ants, we should have been seen by many natives, right? Why wasn't we notified of our disqualification? Xia Yongzhi asked suspiciously.

Lin Youde shrugged.

"Let's find a shabby house to spend the night."

"There's one in front left." Lily pointed to the front left.

Lin Youde also saw that, and it looked like a place to refuel fossil fuel trucks, and there happened to be a road next to it. So Lin Youde made the decision to go over and take a look, and took the lead in changing directions on the next jump, and Xia Yongzhi and Lily also turned after landing.

Freya's power armor ran behind them: "Wait for me! ”

The severed Noah landed on the ground next to her and ran with her.

"Ah, little Noah is so good, I'll sleep with you later."

Lin Youde had already landed in front of the building and began to inspect the machinery placed there.

"That's right, it's the machinery used to replenish fossil fuels, and here's the oil depot. Probably because of the fossil fuels here, it seems to have been used as a base for some survivor group. Lin Youde turned his head to look at the signs painted all over the building, obviously the person who occupied the place was swearing his territorial rights. In addition to these signs, barbed wire and a fence were pulled around the building, and the skulls of the planet's creatures were tattooed on the fence.

All of this is clearly done to keep the building safe from being invaded by anything else. Lin Youde bet that there were still landmines on the ground around him.

[Yes, there are mines, but many of them don't ring anymore due to negligence in inspection.] Noah said, "I'm now guiding Freya around the mines that still sound. 】

[Thank you for your hard work. 】

Although it is impossible for the creatures of this planet to create mines that can hurt Freya in the power armor, it is not good to scare Freya.

"It looks like a stronghold." Lily, who had fallen in front of the building after Lin Youde, lightly jumped onto the tower next to the stronghold, "There is also a watchtower, but what looks like a machine gun mount is empty." No matter who has ever been here. They've all gone for unknown reasons. ”

"Maybe the car will still move, I mean, if there's fuel." Xia Yongzhi kicked the broken car parked on the edge of the fence made of wood and skulls, "The sound of this fuel tank...... It seems that there is more than just fuel. It's still full. ”

Xia Yongzhi was extremely surprised.

Lin Youde carried a gun and walked towards the building built with the gas facility. As soon as he entered, he was sure that it was probably a large commercial facility before the war, and Lin Youde knew that in ancient times, there would be supermarkets and other places next to the gas stations on the earth, and there would also be shops selling food, so that travelers who came to refuel could replenish food and other necessities by the way. You can also take a break to recover from fatigue.

Lin Youde walked in the dark shop.

All the shelves are empty, and correspondingly, there is not the slightest smell of living things in the whole building. Still, there is evidence that there were survivors who survived here, such as the graffiti on the wall of the mall, which apparently counts the date, and which looks like the group occupied the gas station for several years.

At the end of the date record, there is a line in large black letters: We have been given up by God.

No, God found you an eyesore from the beginning, so He killed you. You have never been taken seriously, so why give up.

[Wouldn't it be too self-righteous to put one's race in the position of God as soon as you come up?] Especially in front of me, who is super powerful. 】

[Goddess Noah will dominate the rivers and lakes for thousands of generations! ] 】

Lin Youde responded and saw a downward staircase in front of him. It looked like it was leading to some secret warehouse or something, so he informed the girls via the tactical link: "This house can be used, no danger is found, I found a staircase to go down, and I was about to go down to have a look." ”

"And then it turned out that this was the base of the Enclave." Xia Yongzhi said.

"Let's just say that you play too much Miss Fallout 10."

"Alright, let's go in, be careful when you go down."

Lin Youde clenched the rifle in his hand and began to walk down.

"We're in, you're under that ladder?" When he received Xia Yongzhi's message, Lin Youde happened to walk to the end of the stairs. Entered a basement-like place.

Lin Youde's mood suddenly became extremely heavy.

The whole basement is a tomb - no, it looks more like a mass suicide. And it's just a recent thing, the corpses are not completely decomposed, and you can get a glimpse of what they looked like before they died.

An old man who died alone, a couple who hugged each other, and so on. Lin Youde can generate so many speculations just by looking at it. He was careful not to step on the corpse, although it was an alien, Lin Youde felt that they should be given the most basic respect for the dead at this time.

"What is this?" Lily's voice came from behind, "You killed them all?" ”

"Is your brain mush, what can I do to make the people I kill become rotten like they are now?"

"That's right. Then this is ......"

"Can't you see, this is a grand mass suicide scene. The people of this place didn't leave at all, they died here - maybe part of it, so there was a car left on it, which was left for these people by the people who left, in case suddenly someone didn't want to die. ”

Those who had not lost hope drove away and filled the fuel tank of the car they left behind, and just imagining this scene Lin Youde felt an indescribable taste permeating his mouth.

"It's pathetic." Lily's voice was sad, a very different tone from her usual strong feelings, but it was very much in line with her "hidden identity" as a crybaby.

Lin Youde continued to walk forward, all the way to the end of the "underground hall", entering a corridor, there was a long series of doors leading to the small room on both sides of the corridor, because the ventilation system had already gone on strike, and the whole corridor was filled with a foul smell. Lin Youde's nanomachinery detected excessive methane levels in the air and activated countermeasures.

By the way, Lin Youde had already cut off his sense of smell, so he didn't faint now.

"The oxygen level was low in there, before I found the ventilator and started it. It's best not to come in. ”

As he spoke, Lin Youde had already come to the first door, and then he found that it was a space that didn't match this scene, there were all kinds of toys in it, and there was a small slide - the most important thing. There was not a single body in the room.

At this time, Lin Youde found that there was no child's body in the entire basement.

"Did you take the children away...... It seems that they haven't completely given up yet. ”

"What are you talking about?" Lily's voice came from the direction of the hall, "How's the ventilation system - wait a minute, Freya, you can't come down here, the air is too bad for you." ”

Lin Youde glanced back in the direction of the hall and saw that Lily was pushing Freya back, and covering her nose with her hand.

"You killed all this?" Freya asked after glaring at Lin Youde.

"Can you please not react with the big fool in front of you?"

"But—but these men seem to have died at about the same time. Do you say—"

"That's the one who said it was despair that killed them."

Lin Youde continued to walk forward, and in the next house was a room of books, and a survivor was neatly dressed and sitting at the desk between the bookcases, looking quite peaceful.

Lin Youde subconsciously went into the room and picked up the note on his desk.

It reads in the language of this race: "I don't know who will see this note, but I hope it will be my race after the re-establishment of civilization." Here are the materials we've done our best to preserve and hope to help you rebuild this planet. If it is a race after us, please accept this gift from a previous civilization. I hope you can go further; Finally, if it's a visiting alien who sees this note, please accept my apologies. We have been working on extraterrestrial exploration for more than 100 years to find you, and now that you are here, we can only use such a devastated planet to receive you. Laugh at our stupidity, aliens. ”

Lin Youde smacked his lips.

Extraterrestrial exploration programs or something, probably sending radio waves into the universe and launching primitive vehicles with planetary information, may be these extraterrestrial exploration programs. Humans were recruited.

Lin Youde put down the note and scanned the bookshelves around him.

[Here are some books related to the culture of this race, do you want to check them out?] 】

[Well, it's good to take a look.] 】

Lin Youde turned around and walked out of the room. He decided to go to the ventilation system first.

**

An hour later, Freya's power armor had brought up the bodies of the last survivors, and outside the room, Lin Youde had dug up enough graves, and Lin Youde was using his psionic sword to process the fence and make tombstones. Xia Yongzhi and Lily are putting the corpses into the grave one by one.

"I really don't have children." Xia Yongzhi shook her head gently, "This kind of practice of still not giving up hope makes me feel even more sad." ”

"If they knew about it, they would think it was crocodile tears."

Xia Yongzhi did not answer.

Freya's voice came through the power armor's loudspeaker, "Lin, don't you have any wine or anything?" ”

"I don't drink."

"But it's a pitiful thing to die without wine with you."

"I'm still watching cherry blossoms in spring and starry in summer, don't take ancient literary and artistic works seriously."

[Received a new radio station.] 】

[I'm not interested in listening to it.] 】

[However, I think the radio is Nhleko's voice, albeit in an indigenous language.] 】

Lin Youde couldn't help frowning.

Noah had already taken the time to release the radio she had received with her voice synthesis device.

"I have never prayed for so many years, but these three days have made it necessary for me to offer my devotion to the Great Lord. We are dust on the earth, you have given us your image, we are sinners in the world, it is you who have given us your grace, you have atoned for our sins......"

"It doesn't sound like she's just playing idiot." Xia Yongzhi commented, "He ......"

"He must have seen something, too." Lin Youde said, "I guess this is the real purpose of this wilderness survival, Instructor Li, that guy is not a pure human supremacist." ”

After Lin Youde finished speaking, silence descended on this land full of newly dug graves. (To be continued.) )
