Chapter XXXVIII Embracing Yourself II

In the Northland, the accumulated frozen soil suddenly cracked, and a small figure emerged from it. It stood straight, elongated as much as possible, and looked at the sky first. The sky was full of gloomy radiation clouds, the light was dim, and there was not even a bird in the sky. But in its many compound eyes, more than one mechanical scout insect floating in the sky was reflected. Those mechanical scout bugs floated in and out of the radiation cloud, almost impossible to detect, but they were all reflected in its eyes, and not a single one was missed.

It instantly calculated the escape route, but found that the reconnaissance bugs in the air had no dead spots at all, and it was completely impossible to leave quietly and quickly. It hesitated for a moment and began to calculate the speed of its progress through the snow and underground, but before it could actually start calculating it, it knew that it would take too much more time. Although the summoning from the depths of the bloodline did not mention a specific time requirement, it felt a preset time bottom line from it. It's an instinctive feeling.

At the thought of that summoning, it shuddered suddenly, and there was a hint of excitement in deep fear. The call from the Father awakened the deepest instinctive fear in its body, and it was unwilling to face the Father, but it was unable to resist the call. On the other hand, it has a little curiosity about its father, and wants to see what this person who has made her mother remember it is really like.

It hesitated for a moment, and finally made up its mind, jumped up from the snowdrift, hovered at an ultra-low altitude about one meter above the ground, pulled its body straight, and suddenly shot out like an arrow! It grew faster and faster, so much so that it pulled a distinct trajectory in the air, and a sharp whistling was heard in the distance, and the turbulent air currents rolled up large clouds of snow and dust on the ground, forming a billowing smoke dragon behind it!

It's getting faster and faster, and it's still accelerating. The momentum brought by flying at high speed is so loud that there is no need for reconnaissance bugs at all, even ordinary humans can see it from several kilometers away. The scout bugs in the sky rioted and sent the information out as soon as possible. Creatures that move at hypervelocity on the ground are likely to belong to the topmost superlife on their target list. In an instant, the reconnaissance insects in the surrounding airspace converged on this area one after another, intercepting in front and pursuing in the rear, and the large group of mechanical units along the way also began to slowly turn and intercept the calculated predetermined location.

However, after a few minutes, the Scout Bug realized its mistake and could not catch up with the target flying close to the ground. And when a mechanical swarm of insects in front of him was mobilized into place, the little guy had already passed through the interception point a moment in advance and accelerated away. The swarm of mechanical insects in an area of several hundred square kilometers has been temporarily connected into a network, quickly calculated the new activity trajectory of the little guy, and then mobilized a group of tens of thousands of combat units to set up a new interception net.

The little guy's heart is also extremely depressed at this time, it just hid underground and fell asleep for a while, why did those nasty steel guys outside become so much? And it's all over the place. In its eyes, it naturally does not see any difference between machines and living things. However, it sensed that there was some kind of strong will behind all the mechanical units, so it regarded them as part of some kind of huge life.

And the scene it saw all the way also shocked its heart. The earth is so desolate that there is no great life in sight, and everywhere it is lifeless, like a lifeless world. Creatures are not necessarily its food, but this inanimate environment makes it feel cold and lonely. At this moment, images of a large number of combat units began to appear in the low sky ahead, and the sporadic light was a precursor to the imminent launch of the high-energy beam, and the little guy also felt some kind of strong danger, which was a sign of being locked.

Just as the high-energy beam was about to be launched, the little guy roared suddenly, and the low sound wave spread far away, shaking the combat units in the front row and shaking, and the feeling of being locked suddenly reduced a lot. But the sonic shock is only a superficial level of attack, and the real threat is the force field that attaches to the sound wave and quietly locks on to all combat units, and they are so weak that the reconnaissance and perception component of the combat unit does not perceive anything at all.

The little guy is shiny all over, and he accelerates suddenly, and his instantaneous speed has exceeded 1000 kilometers! It was like a meteor, breaking through the blockade of the combat unit in the blink of an eye and flying away. When the high-energy beam is fired, it immediately activates a hidden force field, which has only a very weak effect on the high-energy beam, but is extremely lethal to the fragile beam generator. The beam launchers of one combat unit after another exploded, the small combat units were directly blown up in the air, and the large units were also damaged, and they could only barely maintain their flight capability. Clouds of fire burned in the sky, and burning wreckage continued to fall from the sky.

And the little guy was already more than ten kilometers away at the moment, and soon left the monitoring range of the scout worm and went away. Its strategy succeeded, which was to disengage at an absolute high speed to keep the mechanical swarm off from reacting. Having immediately responded to the call, it left all possible fates behind it and faced its own father, even if it was directly devoured by its father, then it had to let its father choose a name for itself before destroying it.

It wanted a name, for a long, long time.

As it had seen, the vast majority of the Northern Continent had become lifeless, even more desolate than the first year after the outbreak of nuclear war. The western region of the Great Lakes was once a densely populated area for humans, but now both the Iron Gate and the small settlements are in ruins. It was a complete ruin, not to mention humans, even any larger creature, even rats, which had never gone extinct. If one enters the ruins, one will see a large number of corpses piled up, both human and of various other creatures, most of them still in their previous postures. Disasters struck so suddenly that almost no one reacted.

The corpses had long since decomposed, but there were no signs of scavenging activity. Whether it is a vulture, a wolf, or even a mouse, it has also become a corpse.

It was already winter, the temperature had already dropped below freezing, and the corpses were frozen, so the moment of disaster befell was condensed. It will not be until next spring, when the snow melts, that the corpses will completely decompose and slowly turn into dry bones. Perhaps it is an illusion, if someone stands on the earth at this moment, they will feel particularly dark and desolate. However, if the perceptual domain reaches the eleventh order or higher, you will perceive even the slightest changes in the environment. Indeed, the world is getting colder and darker.

There are very few areas in the entire Northern Continent that are still alive, and Dragon City is the largest of them. Although half of the city was destroyed in the war, more than half of the buildings remained, and the population of Dragon City still exceeded 50,000. Most of them were warriors who had gathered from outside Dragon City. After repelling the last terrifying insect wave, the originally heavily guarded Dragon City has completely relaxed its restrictions, and anyone can enter Dragon City to seek refuge, of course, they will also need to fight on the most dangerous front line in future battles. Regardless of whether they have the ability or not, and whether the person who comes is in the prime of life or the old, weak, sick and disabled, Dragon City is a welcome person. At times like these, everyone who can afford a gun is a valuable fighting force, and the big guys, such as General Morgan, think more long-term. You don't have to look at it to see it in person, and you can know that the number of surviving humans in the wilderness has dropped to an almost negligible number, and this number of people in Dragon City is close to the limit of maintaining the population. If the number is small, even if the mechanical insect swarm is finally wiped out, then the reproduction of the human race will be problematic. So General Morgan was willing to accept anyone, because food and energy were abundant enough to last for hundreds of years of humanity.

There are not many buildings in Dragon City that have not been affected by the fire of war in the previous disasters, the Dark Dragoon Headquarters is one, and Persephone's private hospital is another. In the eyes of many people, it is a complete miracle that there is no heavy protection of private hospitals.

In the underground room of the private hospital, Helen rarely did nothing, but sat alone, in a daze. She sat on the sofa, with freshly brewed coffee on a small table next to her, and the long-lasting aroma lingered, proving that the quality of the coffee itself and the cooking techniques were impeccable. The room was dark and dreary, with only one lamp lit. The dim light shone on Helen, outlining a graceful silhouette.

She didn't know what she was thinking, and only occasionally took a shallow sip of coffee. Whenever this happens, the long golden hair will sway and undulate, like a wave of golden Lng. The snow lay at Helen's feet, but it was dry. It constantly flicks its tail and nibbles on a piece of alloy rod with its teeth from time to time. That humble stick is Helen's latest recipe, and it can only be produced in the real room. But hardness and toughness are almost the extremes of any known material. But in the snow's mouth, it involuntarily twists and deforms, constantly making squeaky moans. The snow shimmered in its compound eyes and was very disorganized, and where the tail struck it, it left shallow pits in the special concrete.

The snow is not annoying, but fearful. If it hadn't stayed by Helen's side, it would have been unable to suppress the fear in its heart, and it would have responded to the call from the depths of its instinct and ran to the south. The summoning came suddenly, without warning, but Snow already knew that it must have been a summon from her father. There's no why, it's just knowing. Only when staying by Helen's side, clinging to a certain part of Helen's body, will the deep sense of fear be diluted, and it will be able to control its actions a little. But even so, the snow tormented by fear can only be suppressed by rubbing the surface of the body or chewing on hard objects. Tragically, its body was so strong that even if the alloy rod was about to be chewed up, its teeth were still undamaged. No, there were still a few missing teeth, but they were repaired immediately, and the composition of the teeth was readjusted according to the defective process to make it stronger. This process brings a slight pain to the snow, and it immediately magnifies the hard-won pain hundreds of times, so that the fear in Jì's heart can be forgotten for a moment.

The coffee in Helen's cup finally bottomed out, she put it down, sighed softly, stretched out her hand, and said, "Snow, come, come to Mommy." ”

Hearing Helen's call, Snow immediately whimpered, jumped into Helen's legs like lightning, curled up in a ball, and burrowed into her arms. In Helen's arms, the fear can completely subside. Helen frowned slightly, Xue's body was not big, but it was already close to fifty kilograms at the moment. Quality is the cornerstone of hardness, and the strength of the snow's body has reached such a level, only fifty kilograms, which is already a low density. If it weren't for Helen to raise her fighting domain ability to the first level, she really wouldn't be able to withstand the current snow pressure.

Helen gently stroked the snow, finally sighed deeply, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, with your mother here, no one will take you away." ”

Hearing Helen's words, Snow nodded ignorantly. It didn't really believe in Helen's promise at all, because the power of the Father could already be vaguely felt from the calling. So the nod now just reassures Helen and allows it to enjoy the warmth of her mother for the last time. At night, when Helen falls asleep, the snow will quietly depart in response to the Father's call. Whether or not he lives or dies after seeing his father's body, that is a matter for the future. Snow knew that since the Father was able to summon herself, she would be able to find this place as well. It was afraid of seeing each other again between the father and the mother, because that would probably have very bad consequences.

It is now clear to Xue that her own existence was originally a mistake. Mom is hiding from her father to create her own, which is difficult to say whether it is good or bad, but it is more likely to be bad. It is curious, fearful, and vaguely incriminating about its father, but it does not have the kind of affection between human father and son. It originally wanted to follow its mother's side, grow up quietly, and wait until it has enough strength in the future to protect its mother. But unexpectedly, at this moment, the call of the father came.

The snow moved, wrapped itself more comfortably, and fell into a deep sleep. This may be the last restful sleep in this life, although for it, sleep has no meaning at all, and it is not the instinct it should have.

Helen gently stroked the snow, and a soft warmth seeped into the snow's little body, quietly smoothing out the marks left by Sue. Snow stretched out her blade comfortably, revealing complete ease of contentment even in her sleep.

In the belly of the mountains of the Southern Continent, Su suddenly opened his eyes, and his blue gaze was extremely sharp, as if it had penetrated the obstacles of many mountains, the earth and the sea, and landed on the Northern Continent. There, he discovers an unknown descendant, and the reason for his discovery is that someone has intervened to erase his call for a descendant of the bloodline. This kind of summoning is mysterious and complex, even among super beings, it is extremely rare, even if it is countless galaxies away, it can be perceived by the other party, and summon descendants to come to one's side. The only exception is when the power of the descendant has surpassed that of the parent before it is possible to resist the call.

The principle of summoning is unknown, and the original effect is not clear, but like other abilities, it is a powerful ability hidden deep in the bloodline instinct, and it has just awakened.

But someone was able to erase Sue's call?

But that's not what Sue really cares about, but, why is there a third descendant? Who is it and who is its mother? N
