The wind is howling.

The turmoil of the upper atmosphere was now well conveyed to the surface, and the howling winds swept through the ravines of metal ruins, bringing with them all sorts of treacherous and terrifying shrill whistling, and the incoming winds were directionless, flickering left and right, strong and weak, as if countless pairs of invisible hands were ravaging the earth, and lighter metal fragments were blown down from the high ground above, whistling across the zigzag parabola, and smashing into the distance.

The current wind has not yet reached the level of Sandora's warning, which can still only be called a gale, but it is not a hurricane, but since people took refuge here a few minutes ago, the sharp increase in wind strength has been obvious to all, and most people's attention is focused on the strong wind whistling outside, and many people show worried eyes. Others had a look of regret in their eyes: they didn't leave the house with more, and now some people have realized that the hurricane will really damage the town's houses.

It's about a kilometer from town, not too far, the shelter is located below the heights of the metal station, here is the bow of an expeditionary-class battleship that has been broken in two, it is tilted into the earth, the broken armor plate extends out, forming a cliff, there is a very wide space below the cliff, and the broken shield that has been warped from the ground is connected to this wreckage, forming a half-cave closed on three sides, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people to hide here.

Through these two days of observation, we have roughly figured out the "topography" around this metal station. Surprisingly, in such a small place, the wreckage of three warships could be found, and an Eternal-class mothership was the main part of this land. The "cliff" behind us, that is, the expeditionary-class battleship that broke in half, may have slammed into the Eternity-class that had now assumed the responsibility of the earth due to a self-destructive attack, and the remnants of the hull of the expeditionary-class battleship above the ground also happened to become a piece of high ground. It's the main area of the metal station, a garbage dump-like place. And just a few hundred meters away, there is a Borderland-class fortress ship that may have also launched a suicide attack, and it may have dealt the deadliest blow to the Eternal-class mothership beneath our feet back then. Seventy or eighty percent of its main body had been vaporized in the explosion, and underneath it was the Eternal Mothership's completely smashed Starship Main Cannon Energy Restraint.

We analysed the markings on the wreckage and found that they came from two units – of course, I know this is nonsense.

The Eternal-class mothership, which crashed on a ruined planet after a series of suicide attacks, is Visk's ship, its condenser lid marked, and behind us the Expedition-class battleship that has been transformed into a metal station high ground. and the Frontier-class spaceship, which looked like a round mountain bag hundreds of meters away, had a symbol that no one recognized: a golden ring.

This ring is not documented in the current Imperial Database.

As expected, Pandora and Sandora, two former war-the-beaters (in fact, Pandora is still a war maniac, and she doesn't plan to change it in her life) have a very limited understanding of their colleagues in the distant territories. They couldn't recognize which emperor owned this mark, so Sivis could only temporarily store this mark and the data and information about the wreckage collected by other reconnaissance troops in the database, maybe one day we will know who was so bullish in the future, and almost wiped out Visk's Legion of Destruction in this place......

The inhabitants who had been evacuated from the town were concentrated in this spacious haven, and due to the semi-enclosed and almost cavernous terrain, everyone could not fear the fierce winds, which howled from outside the cavern openings, but rarely rushed directly into the caverns. However, this safety does not seem to completely calm the emotions of the townspeople.

Barnard showed his qualities as mayor at this time, having a lot of equipment hauled in the town's only hovertruck for scrap metal before he set out. Including lighting equipment and some spectral crystals that looked old but were still full of energy, and then began to direct the people to perfect the makeshift and rudimentary shelter.

The town's technologists use these things to brighten up the cavern. And set up some heaters in the place where people gathered, there were no street lights outside the cave, the fusion reactor in the sky was completely scrapped, the world outside was already out of sight, and the temperature was still dropping rapidly, without these equipment, I am afraid that the townspeople hiding in would not be able to hold on for a while.

The big man named Tieke led the town's strong young men to work at the entrance of the cave, and they used the large metal plates that can be found here to set up layers of barriers near the entrance of the cave, and those large metal plates have the word "emergency spare" Xiling inscription, perhaps they come from the material warehouse in the wreckage of the ship, these processed alloys are generally used to repair the lining armor when the ship suffers sudden structural damage, and the ship's own recovery speed cannot keep up with the speed of structural breakage. Lightweight but incredibly strong, they are not very tech-savvy, but they are ideal for building defenses when the necessary equipment is lacking – such as repairing a ship's lining that has been pierced by artillery fire or setting up a wind barrier at a high wind outlet.

The two-meter-tall metal plates are supported on the ground by sturdy metal columns, layer by layer, weakening the wind that occasionally blows in directly through the opening, while also effectively blocking the metal fragments that are thrown in, they are definitely strong enough to resist the Imperial artillery's metal plates without the slightest damage to any strong winds, but they are not indestructible either: Tieke does not have the material fusion generators commonly used by the Xiling technicians, and he cannot fuse these barriers with the metal floor, So you can only do this with a rudimentary welding torch or even rivets, which is like building a chariot out of Astral Stone, but unfortunately every armor plate on the chariot is glued together with 502......

"It's better than nothing."

Bing Tis glanced at the wind barrier at the entrance of the cave and said lightly, "Although they have no experience in dealing with it, which has led to a lot of loopholes, they have done a really good job." ”

I glanced at Bingtis. Didn't speak.

Before, she mentioned one thing in a very relaxed tone, that is, she was going to re-"open a household registration" for the indigenous people of this world, of course. To put it professionally, she wants to re-register the life sequence that has been removed from this world world in the Temple of the Goddess of Life, and to do so, the first step is to give a score to the life sequence that is about to be logged in.

I didn't pay much attention to what Bingdis said just now. This hooligan eldest sister doesn't seem to be a person who does business, she may be true when she says this, but most of the time it is just a so-so formality, the matter of the Protoss. How many are reliable?

But now it seems that this thing is really quite formal.

Bingtis had been observing the reactions of everyone present, and on the ground next to him, Ding Dong was spreading out a large notebook, holding a golden pen and sketching. The two goddesses seem to work together.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking at the ghost drawing talisman of Jingle Doodle, she asked curiously.

"Observe, record. Rating," Bingtis yawned, "Clankle is the sequence deity of the Temple of Life, and she's responsible for submitting observations to the temple. The way to do this is to write it in this god book, which can be regarded as a jingle work note. ”

"What about this in your work notes?" Startled, I pointed to the notebook, which was almost as tall as two jingle stacks, with a large lollipop doodle on it.

"This is a record of the tribute received by the temple!"

Ding Dong scribbled on the paper with a huge golden pen, and didn't care to look up and answer my question, "Ah Jun, look, lollipop, there's a multiplier of 1000 in the back." But the three words lollipop are too tiring to write......"

We: "......"

"Look, at least it's something related to her day-to-day job. It is also God's daily routine to enjoy the offerings of believers, of course, this is mainly to eliminate extravagance and waste and public funds to eat and drink. ”

I braved a cold sweat to watch Jingle Bell laboriously draw twists and turns and heart-wrenching characters in a huge notebook. Some of them don't understand what they mean at a glance, and the other part you can't understand after a few glances, I suddenly think that the Supreme Goddess of Life may be a very remarkable fellow, she can rely on this kind of symbol to communicate with her subordinates, and the natives of this world are a little sad, their entire race in the Temple of the Goddess of Life re-registered registration form turned out to be this dignity - roughly equivalent to going to get an ID card only to find that the avatar was marked with a mosaic, and the text below was handwritten with a watercolor pen.

"That's how you evaluate the whole race? Isn't it a bit sloppy? ”

My sister is a very delicate person, even if she knows that these gods have always been unreliable, she is also habitually worried. After all, in any case, evaluating the entire race sounds quite serious. I don't know if the gods of the Dao Dao will let you take a make-up exam in 2012 because of the failure of the comprehensive score......

And I curiously picked up the gold pen of the jingle bell and took a look, this thing really does not match the little guy's figure, it is definitely this little fool who listened to the salesman's fool and bought a bargain from the special market, and when he bought it, he directly forgot that his figure was a hard injury. Jingle Bell hung on the tip of the pen, and continued to hold the pen shaft and write hard, until he found that he could no longer reach the paper, and began to dance in protest.

"This is a troublesome explanation," Bingtis lazily looked at the townsfolk who were silently busy, "in short, as long as you know one thing: when the God's assessment officially begins, the mortals to be assessed will truly represent the qualities of the entire race, and we will distort the facts and their individual actions within a certain range, and the final conclusion will be correct, if these one hundred and sixty-two people can survive the hurricane safely, then their entire race will also have this quality." ”

Sandora was eating, and at this time, she looked up and added: "Regardless of any interference conditions, 'getting the correct score' is an established fact, even if Bingtis chooses to test a baby, that baby can represent the entire race, I discussed this with her back then, it is said that this is a talent given by the father to all the gods, what is called an absolute test." ”

Bingtis beamed with pride: "In other words, the gods can judge anything below their own level and come to the right conclusion, and we have never made a mistake in our judgment of the mortal realm!" ”

I thought about it, and suddenly gave a sad look at Jingle Bell: "That is." In the various exams in the divine realm, the only reason for failing the exam is that the real strength is not enough, even if you bribe the examiner to buy the marking teacher and collude with the comrades around you. You wouldn't be able to get absolutely no points for a question, would you? ”

Before I could finish speaking, I burst into tears - she probably didn't have to graduate in her life.

Re-archiving the races that have been written off in the Temple of Life is the business of the gods of Ice and Tinker Bell. Let them continue their work, and now that Sandora and I have nothing to do for the time being, we will observe the busy crowd around us with interest.

Droplet sat next to us with her knees crossed, and she was the only child in the front of the cave. The other children were hiding behind, because they couldn't help, so they were all driven into the depths of the cave by the adults, but the water beads insisted on being with us, and the little girl, who seemed a little weak and weak, was very stubborn on this issue, and the adults didn't have the extra energy to deal with the little girl, so they let her do it casually.

"Brother will be fine, right?"

The water beads looked fearfully at the hole not far away. Outside, there was darkness that could not be seen, and the powerful spotlights that had been temporarily erected on either side of the cave created two pillars of light with a limited range, in which only the silhouette of metal fragments or something whistling by the wind could be seen. Listening to the increasingly violent wind outside, the little girl, who was only nine years old, inevitably showed a look of fear.

"He's safely arrived in another town, as evidenced by Barnard's token and the growing winds around him, where the people have begun to move," I said, clicking on a holographic screen in mid-air, pointing to the message on it, "but I'm lucky that Heavy Gate is built on a scrapped cargo compartment of a cargo ship. There is a very large Gnaku underneath it, and the gate of the Gnaku is still usable. It's safer for them to hide underground than here. By the way, I'll give you the video of Glick. ”

The water droplets put their minds at ease. looked at the screen in mid-air with a surprised gaze, and then a smaller window suddenly popped out under the screen, and the little girl who was almost frightened screamed, and only after seeing clearly that it was Greek's image did the water drop show a surprised expression: "Brother! ”

"Ah, Droplets, are you already at the bottom of the cliff?"

Behind Gorrik is the alloy floor in mid-air, and it seems that he is standing at the entrance to the underground Gnaku in Heavy Gate, preparing to go down.

"Well, we're down the cliff and there's a big hole here!" Shuizhu said happily, her voice also attracted the attention of many adults around, people looked at the holographic screen in front of Shuizhu with very surprised eyes, some even forgot the work in hand for a while, Old Man Barnard hurriedly walked over and asked loudly: "Grik, there is nothing wrong on the road, right?" ”

"Of course not, I'm a natural sailor!" With a jubilant expression on his face, Glick seemed to have finally gotten his wish to fly a spaceship – even though it was a solo fighter and he would only use autopilot mode with little to no controlled operation – an experience that excited the little boy who had been raised by his father since he was a child, "It's so windy here!" Wow, there was a car that was blown off just now! But everyone has gone down to Gnaku, and some people call me a little hero...... What about you? Is it windy? ”

"You can listen to the movement outside and you will know the way."

Despite the many layers of wind barriers, the sharp howl of the strong wind blowing through the mouth of the cave could not be stopped, and Grek listened for a while, and stuck out his tongue: "It seems that you have more wind there than here...... Ah, the gate is closing, and I'm going to go down and drive the ship with them, so hang up first. ”

Glick hurriedly ended the communication, and after the offline message popped up on the screen, the water beads pouted in dissatisfaction, while Barnard smiled helplessly: "Like his father, he wants to be a hero, and this time his dream has come true." ”

At this moment, a low roar that was different from the previous one suddenly came from a distance, interrupting everyone's conversation.

It seemed to be a series of non-stop thunder, and it was a bit like thousands of horses galloping forward, the huge sound made people's eardrums hurt slightly, and even sitting on the ground could feel that the ground was shaking slightly, and the roar was mixed with a sharp whistling, tearing steel-like sound.

The hurricane is coming.

As Sandora warned, the atmosphere has created an unprecedentedly large wind tunnel with severe uneven local heating, and the slightest uneven exposure of the sun beyond one astronomical unit to the entire planet can cause a devastating tornado (this is one of the mechanisms of meteorological disasters such as tornadoes but not all of them), while here the sun is only 3,000 kilometers above the ground, and the uneven heat is not distributed to the whole world, but only a small place. How turbulent is the air in this small area?

The superstorm outside the cave tells us the answer.

"Boom...... Bang...... Rumble......"

The sound of the wind is no longer howling, but like a bomb of tens of millions of tons is bombing the earth, and the turmoil of the entire atmosphere has finally been compressed to an area only 100 meters above the ground, in this wind belt, cyclones rushing at thousands of kilometers per hour chase each other, collide, meet, merge, rush between the craggy steel wreckage, the earth is shaking, and even the cliffs behind us are made a tooth-sore metal friction sound— It was the sound of a giant garbage heap on a metal station being translated by the wind.

The outside of the cave was still pitch black, and only the pillars of the spotlights could see countless strange-shaped objects in the distance being frantically shuttled under the impetus of the hurricane, and occasionally bright flashes could be seen in the darkness, which were the light from the violent collision of metal fragments, or the metal station lighting equipment that had some energy left was blown down from the top of the cliff.

The townsfolk at the front of the cave retreated in horror, and panicked whispers began to be heard from the crowd, cries were heard from distant places where children had gathered, and drops of water beside us grabbed my sister's arm.

"Calm down! Don't panic! Barnard's voice rang out, and he walked to the brightest spot where the lights were so that everyone could see him, "The alloy cliffs are very strong, as long as you don't get close to the entrance of the cave, you'll be fine!" There is no way to pour wind directly into such an airtight space. Tek, are all those wind barriers reliable? ”

"The one closest to the exit may have been scraped off, but the one inside is absolutely fine!"

"Okay, everyone retreat, retreat to the innermost part of the cave, so that even if there is wind backing up, we will not be swept away, protect the child in the middle, and the prime of life is outside, try to stand against the wall!"

The hurricane is getting stronger.
