It was already close to dusk in the afternoon, and Yao had begun to gradually move westward, and the fiery red clouds in the sky were the final decorations for Hui's appearance.

And the rocks, which look like performance artists' random piles, also show red faces, as if they are witnessing the creatures in the grove in front of them enjoying the last pleasure before returning home. But Fang Yun and Fang Yan, who were standing on their heads, did not have such a good mood.

Neither of them spoke, their hands behind their backs, their feet slightly open, their eyes staring straight ahead, motionless, as if waiting for something.

After a long time, all they could hear was the whirring of the breeze in their ears. Finally, "Here it is." Fang Yun opened his lips lightly.

I saw a path hidden in the depths of the bushes in front of me, suddenly opened, two people in black civilian clothes walked out, pulled out their swords and cut all the bushes blocking the exit, and then stood on both sides of the exit, no longer moving.

Immediately afterwards, an old man in a fiery red robe walked out of the road opened by the two of them, followed by several people who were also wearing black uniforms.

"It looks like it's been a long time since I've used this trail, and weeds and shrubs have grown so much. The old man looked back at the entrance and said to Fang Yun and Fang Yan.

The two of them instantly moved in front of the old man, clasped their hands into fists and bent over, "Boss, you're here." ”

Gavalen snorted, and the two straightened up, "I'm sorry, Boss, I didn't expect to use the backup base so soon, so it's a bit cluttered here." Fang Yun said in a guilty tone.

"It doesn't matter," Varun smiled and waved his hand slightly, "In this case, this path will not be so easy to spot, it can be regarded as a hidden measure." ”

Then he looked at the entrance to the boulder in the distance, "Let's stop talking here, I've never been to this backup base, you can take me in and around." ”

The two hurriedly saluted, "Yes!"

So, Gai Valen followed Fang Yun and the two of them towards the base, on the way, Fang Yun looked at Gai Valen, and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are we exposed? Even you have already escaped, we are on a par with Biyan City, right?"

"Yes, this is completely exposed in front of their eyes," said his mouth, but in a casual tone, "but it doesn't matter, when the great deeds of the adults are completed, we have a place to go." ”

Speaking of this, Gaivaren suddenly remembered something, "By the way, has the magic energy photochemistry mass spectrometer been repaired?"

"Shame, boss. Fang Yan, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke, "The only doctor among us who can repair it yet, and we haven't been able to repair the instrument yet. ”

"It's okay, I know in my heart, I never expected a young technician who graduated from a remote industrial college to be able to control such a high-end thing. There was disdain in his tone, "However, the progress has to be accelerated, since I am here, then there is nothing to do with him, don't visit the base first, take me directly to his laboratory, and I will repair it myself." ”

"Yes, Boss, this way. Fang Yun led everyone to the left road......

Inside the laboratory at this time

"Alas, these are precious samples, what a pity. The doctor stood in front of a row of crystal-framed cabinets, staring at the so-called samples in those cabinets, and let out a lamented sigh.

In those coffin-like crystal-framed cabinets, there were Terran corpses lying flat, no! The dark purple skin and a pair of sharp horns on the top of the head, not to mention some other peculiarities, already indicated that these were not Terrans.

They had all stopped breathing now, and the years had given them traces of history, their skin shriveled and unshaped, the blood on their bodies almost dry, the marks of falling rocks, the scars of arrows or swords piercing their bodies, the torsos with missing arms and legs, all seemed to hint at what kind of war they had experienced in their lifetimes. The old corpses bear ancient scars, but many of them are fresh, marks that the "miners" have accidentally left behind while digging.

"So why do they let those malnourished, careless Inhumans do these things? ”

The doctor carefully exhaled into the glass, then rolled up his sleeve and wiped it, as if that would serve some maintenance of what he called a precious specimen.

At this moment, the originally closed metal door brushed the floor, and the sound of metal gears activated, and the two doors retracted towards the wall. As soon as the voice sounded, the doctor and the rest of his lab assistants looked towards the door, and Gavarren and his party walked in.

"Long time no see, Doctor, how have you been?" said Gavaren as he walked in with a kind smile on his face and greeted him.

"Gai, Lord Gaivaren, why are you here?!" was obviously full of panic, but the doctor's heart was panicked, "Why is this guy here? Damn, wouldn't that be a failure?"

"You're surprised. In a moment's astonishment, Gavaren appeared in front of the doctor, "Oh, you should be surprised, after all, we haven't seen each other since I gave you a mission last time. ”

Gavren looked at the crystal cabinet beside the Doctor and saw the specimen through the glass, "What a strange creation," sighed as he touched the glass, "but alas, the data they have is completely recorded and has no value." ”

A fiery suffocating flame erupted from the palm of the hand that was touched, instantly enveloping the entire crystal frame cabinet. The face of the Doctor at close range, illuminated by the fierce flames, was extraordinarily pale.

In just an instant, the entire cabinet and the specimens in it were all reduced to flying ashes, "We need more data, and we need more specimens, but the work of accurate excavation has been stagnant for a long time with the destruction of the Magic Actinic Mass Spectrometer, so," Gavalen looked at the doctor, and there was no more kind smile on his face, "Is the task I gave you completed?"

Gavalen's eyes were so sharp, sharp, and ...... The killing intent that can't be concealed. With a thud, the doctor's knees fell to the ground, "Hug, sorry, because, I, for my personal technical reasons, the machine, has not been repaired." ”

After a pause in speaking, cold sweat broke out, his whole body was weak, and he kept trembling, seeing the tragic appearance of the doctor, Gai Valen smiled, stretched out his hands and helped the doctor up, "Don't be nervous, I don't mean to blame you, if the magic energy photochemical mass spectrometer can be repaired so easily, there will not be so many people who spend a huge amount of maintenance money to hire technicians from the South China family every year." ”

"However, since I'm here, I'll have to speed up the work," Gavalen walked over to the Magic Photochemistry Mass Spectrometer, which took up a third of the size of the entire lab, "I'll be the major, and you'll be my assistant." ”

The doctor gasped for breath and took a word out of his mouth, "Good." ”......

"Brother Mo, everyone, come on! "A girl with short hair, standing next to a banyan tree, called out to the crowd who were looking for a mark elsewhere.

The others all gathered, looking at the arrow carved on the tree, Ah Han frowned, "How long have we walked, we have walked through the canyon and through the woods, through the woods and through the meadows, and after the meadows have passed into the canyon and over the woods! How can they run so well! Are they retreating or traveling? It's getting dark, and I can't even see a shadow." When it gets dark, you can't see it anymore. ”

Mo was more concerned about another thing than Han's complaint, "Bring the map." ”

A person next to him hurriedly took out the map and handed it to Mo, Mo squatted down and spread the map on the ground to open it, because they brought a large map around Biyan City this time, so only a few important places were marked, and the other places were all rough topographic maps.

Mo's finger was on the map, starting from their starting point, "We just passed a dozen arrows, following their direction and distance, probably we started from here, and then here, here, now we, should be, here!"

Everyone looked at the point Mo marked on the map, and they all showed surprised expressions, and Han said uncertainly, "We are ......" and gradually return to Shire Town. ”

Mo's expression was grim, "We have to speed up the pace." ”

Shire Town, Sheriff's Office

The sky was getting dark, the peasants were driving the cattle that were ploughing the fields, the hunters were leading the hunting dogs, and even the freest poultry in the village were flapping their wings and began to rush home, and the lights of each house gradually lit up, in this gradually dimming atmosphere, guided them in the direction of their home. The wisps of cooking smoke wafting out of the smoke window also disappeared into the night, but the aroma emitted drove everyone to move forward.

The few businesses in the wide square have also closed, leaving only the sound of the clock tower's gears and the police station that is almost always open for those in need.

At the warm table, Lottie felt that her position was threatened for the first time, and without it, Tom and Jerry in front of them, like the reincarnation of starving ghosts who had never eaten in eight lifetimes, swept through the coarse bread in the dinner frame and the mixed vegetable soup in the basin at an extremely alarming speed.

Lottie was speechless, and the other two sheriffs who had been left behind by Mo were also speechless, if everyone knew that terrorists lived like this, who would want to be terrorists?

Only Aunt Rona kept adding bread to the basket and soup to the basin, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes from time to time, "Eat more, eat slowly, don't choke, hard-working children, there are many more, don't worry." ”

The two who were gobbling up just nodded their heads in gratitude, and the movements on their hands and mouths did not stop at all. Although Lottie wanted to say that people who have been hungry for a long time can't eat a lot, but considering that the two of them haven't been hungry for a long time, they just haven't eaten for more than a day and dug a road manually, forget it, let them go, at most their stomachs will hurt when the time comes.

Lottie said to the other two sheriffs, "Small place, coarse tea and light rice, please don't dislike it." Perhaps because the other party was not a nobleman and was a superior colleague, her tone was much softer than that of Jiang Hengshi.

One of the male sheriffs shook his hand, grabbed a coarse bread, and took a bite of it fiercely, "Look at what you said, who is not from an ordinary family? "With bread in his mouth, his speech is slurred. Another female sheriff also picked up the bowl in front of her and took a sip, "Me too, and vegetable soup is my favorite, and it can also fill my stomach for beauty and beauty." Well, this soup tastes good. ”

The male sheriff directly soaked the bread in the vegetable soup, "Speaking of which, thanks to the great reform eighteen years ago, if it weren't for Grand Duke Badro fighting for the rights and interests of us ordinary people, I wouldn't say that I would have studied at the Military Academy and become a sheriff, and now I am estimated to be farming in my hometown." ”

"That's right, that's it!" Lottie immediately agreed as soon as she heard of her idol, "Archduke Badrow's reforms directly abolished most of the autocratic power of the nobility, abolished all kinds of miscellaneous taxes, and banned the slave trade in our empire, in short, did a lot of things for the benefit of us commoners." ......”

Seeing Lottie talk about her idol, the two laughed, but then the female sheriff remembered, "But I heard that eighteen years ago, the reform that had been carried out smoothly was hindered by the vast majority of nobles, although there were a few nobles and the royal family to support it, but the reform was very slow, if it is at the same rate as before, the older generation said, it is estimated that it will take at least thirty or forty years to reach the current kind of civilian welfare." ”

"But it is said that something happened that made Archduke Badro angry, and I don't know what the specific thing is, anyway, it was the stupid thing that the group of traditionalist nobles did, so that Archduke Badrow's original peaceful and slow reform was directly promoted. In the process, many disobedient nobles were directly branded as rebels and sent to the execution ground. ”

Lottie quickly opened her mouth, "I know, I know! It was written in the textbook that this change was called the New Era Revolution, because it happened to happen in the year 38800 of the Yu calendar, at the beginning of the new century, hey, just the year after I was born." And this bloody storm between the nobles, the change of heaven and earth between the commoners, also has a name, called the change of ownership. ”

The female sheriff was also hooked, "But your name won't be admitted in the textbook, although it is called the change of ownership, but now the leadership of the empire still has to rely on those nobles, but the change of law also ensures the human rights of the common people, I heard that last year's per capita happiness index survey, our empire can even be on par with those forces in the center of the origin." Unlike many other places, where the power of the aristocracy is so great that it frightens people to death, the lives of commoners are not. ”

"Okay, big politicians, if you don't eat again, the food will be cold. Aunt Rona added another bowl of hot soup to everyone, "But I also want to thank this change, you should all be young at that time, but I have really experienced it, before that I dare not imagine that I can work as a rural peasant woman in the security station, in other words, the security station also appeared after that, and the law and order in various places were maintained by the knights of the nobles of the territory." ”

"Aunt Rona," Lottie quickly got up, pressed Rhona to her seat, and then sat down quickly, "I haven't heard much of you talking about things before the Great Change, and today is a rare opportunity, so you can tell me more about it." ”

Looking at the other two's eyes, which were also full of anticipation, Rona smiled, "Okay then, I remember when I was just sensible......"
