Chapter 40: Is This a Fragment?

The three corpses lying together, there were no obvious fatal wounds on their bodies, at most there were a small number of unhealed cracks in the bones of the limbs, the cracks were very subtle, and they did not affect the movement, which should be the marks left by the last battle.

In addition, the three corpses were intact, and they did not even struggle before death, as if they had passed peacefully in their sleep. Their costumes were rotting and weathered, and the remains of their armor and weapons lay aside, as if ready to wake up from death and return to battle.

And the last sitting corpse, the fatal wound was obvious, his cervical vertebrae were cut in half, and it was obvious that the neck had been cut by an intelligent being.

"He committed suicide. Bending over and looking at the cut marks on the cervical vertebrae, the corners of Xiuer's mouth twitched, "It's so ruthless, I even used enough strength to commit suicide, how much enmity this has with myself." ”

"He didn't suffer any injuries that affected his movements. Under the mask, Saf looked puzzled, "I actually chose to commit suicide." ”

"Oh, I found it. Shul didn't explain Saf's doubts, but rummaged through the debris left by these people, and soon, a few sheepskins that had been rotten and had a few holes entered Shure's realization, and the Pioneer Era still used sheepskins as a record carrier, "If it is a member of the garrison of the Pioneer Regiment, then after the mission, I must submit a mission briefing to my superiors, this should be the case, let me see what happened, where they hid the metal fragments." ”

Indeed, there were no metal fragments in their belongings, and there was only one possibility, that is, they had hidden the metal fragments when they were attacked. If you look for it yourself, you can find it, it's just a matter of spending more energy searching, but since there is a more convenient way, why spend more energy?

Shul flipped open the sheepskin with the gentlest movements, and after completely shattering the two sheepskins, and leaving many holes in the remaining ones, he finally finished reading the strange symbols on them, which were the ancient northern human language, in the early middle and early stages of the Pioneer Era, the Sage Alex had not yet been born, and the lingua franca was still sleeping with him, and had not yet descended into this world, and all the races were still using their own languages handed down from the embryonic era.

"I don't know who wrote the report, but this person is really a talent, a simple mission log, let him write the same as a knight. Xiuer sighed helplessly, even if there is a lot of nonsense, the key is that the level is not very good, it is not attractive at all, this level, it is not a pity to die in the cave, "Overall, we guessed correctly, they had a smooth trip, and they didn't get lost, well, at least they haven't lost their way for the time being, and they came here safely all the way, until they met the blind war lizard." ”

The blind war lizard is a large carnivorous lizard, extremely fierce and aggressive, and there are a large number of pathogenic organisms on its teeth, bitten by it, even if the wound is cleaned in time, it is very likely to be infected with various diseases, and it is difficult to survive for three days without a priest or doctor. They tend to be in groups and haunt large cave systems, making them excellent hunters.

"If it's a blind war lizard, it's no wonder they've lost so much. Safu smiled bitterly and looked at this group of ancestors of his own country, they were really unlucky, they just ran into this kind of creature, even a team of gold-level warriors, they didn't want to fight with a group of more than a dozen blind war lizards, the strength was secondary, the key was too troublesome. Since the moment they were unlucky and were targeted by the blind war lizard, they were doomed to the end of their total annihilation, and it was a rare thing that four of them could escape in the end, "Ah, no wonder those three people couldn't see the fatal injuries, they must have died of infectious diseases." ”

"Heh, guessed wrong, their death is not directly related to the blind war lizard. The smile under Shuer's hood was strange, like ridicule, like contempt, "Although it is not directly written, but a little thought can tell how they died." ”

It was clearly written on the sheepskin that after encountering the blind war lizard, they had to retreat to the current cave, blocking the entrance to rest for a while, and several wounded companions died one by one, and finally there were only four people left. After holding on for seven days, they estimated that the demonic beasts outside had left, and they were ready to leave the cave and escape from the territory of the blind war lizard as soon as possible. They are a territorial-minded beast that will never leave their territory to chase their prey, so as long as they escape their territory in time, they have a good chance of returning to the surface alive.

Of course, although this is true in theory, not everyone has the courage to leave the safe shelter and return to a dangerous environment, at least one of the young soldiers named Mick does not have the courage until the night before the operation, when making an escape plan, he has always strongly opposed everyone escaping the shelter. However, under the insistence and persuasion of the other three, he reluctantly accepted the opinions of the three. Now, with one mind and everything in place, all you need to do is eat a full meal, get a good night's sleep, and you can escape tomorrow.

However, the recording came to an abrupt end, and it was clear that the escape plan had ended before it had been implemented.

"They...... Actually failed to convince Mick?" Saf was a little incredulous, although she had read a lot of books, and had been with Shul for more than two years, and had been instilled with some gray thoughts by him, the female swordsman still clung to a kindness in her heart, and couldn't believe in the darkness of the human heart.

"Obviously, no. Shur said in a mocking tone, "Although it can't be confirmed, according to my speculation, Mick has actually broken down at this time, and regards this cave as his last spiritual support, and any attempt to break his dependence and try to reconnect the inside and outside of the cave will be regarded by him as a mortal enemy." Hehe, he will not tolerate others to reopen the closed hole, and for this reason, he will not hesitate to eliminate all hidden dangers, even if these people are his comrades who live and die together. ”

"Unthinkable. Safu shook his head and sighed, "Staying here is like a chronic poison, although it won't die immediately, but as the supplies are exhausted little by little, there is still only one way to die in the end, he doesn't understand this truth?"

"If you are a normal person, of course you understand, but for a person whose reason has collapsed, there is no need for such a thing as reason to exist. Shure lowered his voice, as if he was telling a horror story, "So on the last night, after everyone had eaten and drunk enough to fall asleep, he used the time he was in charge of the night to cut the throats of his comrades one by one. ”

Shaking his head vigorously, Saph was not disbelieving, but unable to understand and accept this distorted psychology.

"It's easy to kill three defenseless people in his sleep, and in the end, he's the only one left here. Maybe it was after killing everyone that he regained his consciousness and realized what he had done, maybe it wasn't until after some time, when the supplies in the cave were exhausted, that he realized his mistake, in short, he finally came to his senses, but unfortunately, it was too late, nothing could be changed, and the only thing he could do was to cut his throat with a deep hatred for himself. ”

"Pitiful, but more hateful. Saf, who was sighing, was suddenly stunned, "No, Shuer, aren't you looking at the records to find metal fragments?"

"Well, but not on the record. ”

"That means that the metal fragments hadn't been disposed of until they died. ”

"Yes. Shul nodded, "Otherwise, they will definitely record the location in the report, and it is impossible not to mention it." ”

"That's strange, such an important mission item, they can't just throw it away. Saf frowned and thought, "Supposedly, I should never leave me, but there is obviously no one here." ”

"Well, actually, the fragment is here, I just found it. Shul scratched his hood as if he were scratching his head, "What do you think the target, the scrap of metal you're looking for, should look like?"

"Huh?" Saf didn't answer at all, just looked at Shul in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with his brain, what else could the metal fragments look like. Wait, no, that replacement wheel, a piece of debris, can be transported in a truck with that big wheel?

"Anyway, I can't understand what kind of mentality it is to call a giant piece of metal five or six meters long and more than four meters tall a metal fragment. Shuer's gaze fell on a corner of the cave, where there was a huge black shadow.

There was no light in the cave at all, it was all illuminated by the three crystal energy lamps of the two of them, and when they were inspecting the cave just now, they had passed this black shadow, but it was so big that both of them mistook it for a part of the cave, and no one paid much attention to it, nor did they think about it in other ways, just like Shuer said, which normal person would call this kind of behemoth a metal fragment.

However, the two forgot that it was not a normal person who told Shuer that this thing existed, but Lord Luna, the goddess of the Dark Moon, and the behemoth in the eyes of the two was so small that it was not even dust to the body of the Dark Moon, and calling it a metal fragment was already taking care of the understanding ability of the two.

"After looking for a long time in vain, it turned out that the target was by our side. Safu also couldn't help but laugh with a smile on his face, "Actually, I should have thought that a pillar of light that could emit the scale of emerald light could not be done by metal fragments in our understanding." Compared to the range of the Emerald Light, this source is indeed small enough to be regarded as a fragment. ”

"Praise the moon without light, it's good that my lord didn't tell me it was a metal particle. Shure clutched the glass on his mask and sighed, "I'd love to go back and fight with Solon and the Lionheart, and they're called Metal Scraps." ”

"Ha, Your Majesty, they don't know, no one has ever seen the real thing. ”

"Hmm. Shul only said casually, the pillar of light of the lighting facility never left the huge metal block, "I want to know now how the machinery that you can't even hear the abnormal sound keeps running." ”
