Under the scorching sun, between the broken roads, huge trucks sped forward, rolling up layers of dust.

After getting past the initial discomfort phase, Huai Shi has barely adapted to the current speed...... At least if he didn't drill around, he would still be terrible at this speed.

It's still too fast, but it's not going to hang by a thread all the time.

After he relaxed, he was finally in the mood to take a look at the scenery outside the window.

As the module rotated, after leaving the desert, in the yellow sand, they had entered the confines of a huge city. Countless layers of factories have ceased to function, and only clumps of shrubs have grown from the ruined ruins.

The breath of decadence came to his face.

But there is also a striking beauty.

It's hard to describe, but Huai Shi suddenly understands the ruins lovers in the current situation.

It seems that the loneliness of being abandoned by the whole world, but at the same time there is a reassuring silence, which makes him gradually relax and feel a sense of silence.

Although this silence and tranquility is abnormal enough in itself.

Through his helmet, he whispered on the radio, "Although it is said to be hell, it looks like an ordinary wilderness." ”

"Ordinary wilderness?"

Raymond felt something wrong with his ears: "There aren't so many ruins in the ordinary wilderness, right?"

“...... There are places, and there are. ”

Huai Shi was silent for a long time, and the village that was gradually covered in the yellow sand resurfaced in front of her eyes, as well as countless silent and empty faces.

He shook his head in an effort to dispel the memories from the records.

"Is the current situation so chaotic now? Or is it just your way?"

Raymond thought for a long time, and finally reacted: "I forgot that you were the inspector...... There must be a lot of mess of all kinds.

I have a question that I have never asked, but I am very curious: What is the welfare package of the auditor? I heard that in addition to internal benefits and a large number of special discounts, there are paid leave every year. ”

"Yes, but most of the paid leave is not a good opportunity. ”

Huai Shi shook her head, thinking of her life in the past year, she couldn't help but sigh: "Because I basically have nothing to do at home every day, except for playing games, I can only draw cards in mobile games, and salted fish is terrible...... Occasionally, when you go out, a large number of people try their best to stuff you with black money, trying to pull you into depravity and corruption.

Seriously, it's so annoying, I feel like I'm afraid I'll lose my dreams after a long time and become a hateful social person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to the Ivory Tower. ”

？？？

Raymond almost stepped on the accelerator and stared at the dog: "Really?"

"Of course it's fake, what do you think?"

Huai Shi rolled her eyes: "How can there be such a good thing in the world? If it is really so peaceful, how do you think I reached the third order in half a year?"

If you stay at home, there will be people who want to persecute you every day, and when you go out, your boss who has no conscience will make you die like an animal. Even if you go out to apply for a job, you can accidentally be abducted into the cult base, and you will be robbed by the Good Night Club halfway when you go out to travel. That's it, there are still people who treat you as a murderer, how can anyone think of going to such a miserable day?"

"Hiss......"

Raymond gasped, "How did you get to this point?"

"Probably, it's a great fortune?"

Suddenly, Raymond's eyes became complicated when he looked at Huai Shi. It seems that looking at a Paralympic athlete, full of admiration and pity, there is even a faint encouragement in it.

Don't slack off, young man, keep up the good work!

I don't know what's going on with this thing's brain circuitry.

During the long journey, the two chatted with each other, but they didn't feel bored and nervous. Raymond is a professional veteran driver, and he has long been used to seeing this kind of mess. And Huai Shi purely thinks that it is very refreshing here, and the mood is relaxed and happy.

It seems that the enhanced version of Shao Siming's adaptability to hell has also been greatly improved, and after the large group of Huai poems gradually took shape, the sense of rejection and pressure from hell was much less.

The difference is like that between a newcomer and a foreigner who has lived in the country for two or three years.

Say it's not big, it's not small.

The curse was still a threat to him.

Even with a full set of protection and helmets, under the sun outside the window, he could still feel a burst of chapped and painful skin, and sometimes when he moved his mouth, the dry skin on his face would crack.

Although it will recover quickly, it will be very uncomfortable.

Even if Huai Shi switched the ecological circle in his body to a desert state, it still didn't play a big role. But after at least a few bottles of beer, the cracking slowed down a lot.

"How far is it?"

"After this ring area, we will go about 70 kilometers to the nearest underground entrance, and if we go down, we will have to walk for about three or four hours, and we may go far away, because we don't know the situation underground, and we can only adapt to the situation at that time. ”

Raymond glanced at the navigation display beneath the white cat's butt and scratched the cat.

Then he was given a paw by the white cat.

The gloves were almost cut.

By this time, they had already passed through the layers of factories and penetrated into this dead and silent city that was as if it were copying and pasting.

Between the jumbled viaducts, countless gray-and-white high-rise buildings stand on the ground like a dense forest.

There are no windows, not even the entrance.

It seems to be just a pile of solid rocks that resemble concrete, reminiscent of tombstones and other unpleasant connotations.

Among the countless tall buildings, some plots have completely collapsed, revealing the massive mechanical structures that work slowly below. Occasionally, puffs of black smoke would erupt from it, bursting with a shrill sound.

They had gradually penetrated into the Land of Twilight.

According to Huai Shi's estimates, the specific area of the entire Dusk Township is about the size of Qiongzhou, and maybe it will be a little smaller. Because the data is too detailed to be counted.

The Land of Twilight is the most insidious of the sunken types of hell.

At the edges of sandstorms and unannounced snowfall, torrential rain and storms, the more you go outward, the thinner you see.

Until the end, the whole person will disappear into the superposition of hell and the outer abyss, and there will be no return. Unless they are wearing some special Frontier Relic or have a special stigma, the vast majority of Explorers will not attempt to approach the Edge.

Huaishi: They relied on the pre-made station of the Iron Crystal Seat to enter here. But even the station is not completely safe, and there are still miserable assimilated colleagues like Condra who wander there, unable to escape.

Just when Huai Shi thought of this, in the corner of his eye, under the shattered and collapsed building, there seemed to be a figure emerging without warning.

Then, when he looked closely, it disappeared again.

In a fuzzy memory, the swollen silhouette seemed to look to this side, and then a hand was raised, pointing in the direction they were going to go.

Warm and caring.

Looking, longing, expecting.

step by step, it guides them to the catastrophe from which they will never recover.

Huai Shi's movements stiffened, and he subconsciously pulled out his sword.

"Just ......"

He whispered, "It seems like I saw it before...... The ...... missing on the Iron Crystal Pedestal The colleague ......"

Condra's name was not directly mentioned, but was chosen as a pronoun that everyone knew by heart. And Raymond's expression had to be weird.

No, it should be said that the flirtatious smile on his face all this time retracted for a moment and fell silent

The face is expressionless.

"What a coincidence, I also saw a former colleague on the radar.

He narrowed his eyes and looked up at the distance outside the window, "It's just not on the Iron Crystal Seat—"

"Huh?"

Huai Shi frowned, and before she could react, she heard a shrill alarm from the cab.

Lock the alarm!

Suddenly, Raymond stepped on the accelerator with one foot, and suddenly floated on the spot, rushed off the elevated road, and yelled from mid-air:

"—The Nightmare Eye is coming, be careful!"

Rumble!

A loud roar erupted from where they had been traveling.

A landing module the size of a freezer fell from the sky and smashed into where they should have been, and then the outer armor exploded, and the flames that stayed in it erupted and flew into the sky.

Above the sky, with the revocation of the optical stealth frame, a hideous silhouette slowly emerged.

A huge flying machine engraved with the Nightmare Eye emblem emerged from mid-air, casting a hideous shadow over the earth, even if it wasn't a behemoth that covered the sky like a flying ship.

Under the urging of two huge propellers, the giant helicopter-like aircraft quickly lowered its altitude, and followed Huai Shi and them tightly, chasing after them.

If the fuselage was equipped with some missiles that could be used in hell, it would have been launched a long time ago, burning Huaishi and them to ashes.

But now, there is still a threat not inferior to missiles in pursuit.

In the falling landing module, six flames rose into the air, screaming like fireballs and chasing after them.

The truck hit the ground with a loud bang, crashing through a wall unscathed, and speeding up in embarrassment.

Huai Shi was almost pressed to the chair and couldn't move.

He began to rejoice that he had just found a vomit bag under his helmet.

", it's Shalamanda!"

Raymond cursed angrily and slammed the steering wheel in an attempt to turn and shake off the flames that were chasing behind him. But the flames that flew in the air were like living creatures, biting them to death.

Refusing to let go.

"Is that the Hell Swarm?" Huai Shi raised her eyes and looked in the rearview mirror.

"Yes, the hordes of hell that have a contract with the Nightmare Eye are all half-elemental, half-living flame spirits, and they are not afraid of the curse of the sun. ”

Rumble!

Before Raymond could finish speaking, a loud bang erupted, and the truck shook suddenly, almost overturned by the flame that hit it.

The flames froze in the air for a moment, ready to collide again.

But then, the dented carriage was suddenly torn, and a large hand covered with iron armor poked out of it, and pinched the flame spirit out of thin air in the sunlight.

I also rubbed it twice.

- Little brother, what's the matter with you?

Shalamanda's flames twisted for a moment, and finally a flaming figure emerged, struggling to draw his sword and slash at the big hand. Immediately after, the hand lifted up, lifted Shalamanda's body, and slammed it against the wall next to it.

Rub, rub, rub.

Piercing screams erupted from the flames.

Soon, it disappeared without a trace.

There is no more flame.

But in the middle of this gap, the other five flames suddenly changed direction and crashed into the wheels under the carriage. It looks like he's going to die with them.

The carriage shook, and then cracked out of thin air and fell off, revealing the chairs welded to the chassis and the nine giant-like figures on the chairs.

In the heavy protective suit, the park guards pulled out the shotgun that was uniformly equipped at their waists, pulled the bolt, and aimed it at the fire.

"Holy—"

Accompanied by a pious chant, pull the trigger.
