Hearing 173's dejected words, 659 couldn't help but frown.

The completion time of this urgent mission is really a little too tight, not to mention the strength of the target of the mission, the Shadow Insect King, just the previous pursuit of their Shadow Insect Swarm almost killed them.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you have the strength to complete the assassination mission, the current time of less than twenty-two hours is not enough......

"Could it be that 173 is really dead?"

659 pondered in his heart what 173 had said, trying to find a life in it.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked with some uncertainty.

"173, how did you describe it when the system released the task, you repeat it in detail."

Because SCP-173's system only exists in his body, 659 was unclear about the specific description of the mission during the time it came into contact with the Shadow Worm and issued an urgent mission.

At best, it was only through the dictation of 173 that he had a general idea of the mission.

"Mission description? It is to detect the appearance of shadow insect swarms around them, and issue an urgent mission, requiring them to find the hive within one day and kill the insect king. ”

"No, you don't want to summarize in your own words, and give me the information the system gives you as it is."

659's brow furrowed tightly, and he had a hunch that the urgent mission that would die in front of him did not seem to be what he and 173 had thought, but that there was a hidden mystery in it.

"You wait, I'll recall......"

The human-faced lizard under him was still moving at a high speed, and through the diffusion of spiritual power, 659 felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed slightly, although the overall situation was still very flat, but the terrain was faintly sinking.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's how the system described it at the time."

"Ding! The calculation results show that there is a swarm of Shadow Worms around the host, and the emergency mission is now triggered - find the hive and kill the Insect King, the time limit is one day in the Red Moon world, and the timer starts! ”

"Note: This mission has been forcibly accepted and cannot be refused, and the system will perform humane destruction of the host if the mission fails."

"That's it."

After mimicking the system's slightly sloppy voice, 173 stopped transmitting his thoughts.

Because he knew that 659 must be analyzing every word in the task description word by word at this time, this feeling of having a partner to rely on made him can't help but think of his best friend, Wang Yu.

"Walking on the Stars"

"Time limit is one day in the Red Moon World......

659 muttered the words over and over again, looking up at the sky.

Although his whole body is now trapped by Dacai's tail, and even his head is firmly covered by a bowl-shaped mouth, the human-faced lizard has a special ability to increase mental power, which can make 659 clearly feel the changes around him without using his eyes.

So 659 can clearly "see" the current sky.

The red moon, which was large enough to cover half of the sky, still hung there, quietly, like a giant eyeball overlooking the earth.

"Although it is not clear why the moon in this timeline is red, and it is so big and ridiculously large......"

"But from the beginning to the present, the position of this red moon doesn't seem to have changed......"

Hearing 659 say this, 173 couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky.

The pitch-black canopy was like an old rag, dark red

The moonlight shined through the thin clouds and stingily onto the earth.

After a brief judgment, 173 discovered that the fact seemed to be as if it were true as 659 had claimed, and that the huge red moon seemed to have remained in the west all along, barely moving in the sky except for a slight change in the surrounding references.

"What do you mean......"

173 turned his head to look behind him at six o'clock, where the ground was empty except for a clump of overwhelmed weeds.

"I mean, the time limit of your urgent mission is one day in the Red Moon World, so is it possible that one day in the Red Moon World is not twenty-four hours as we think?"

The scale of time, this problem has always existed, but because of his constant existence, people will always ignore it.

The two of them who are Elders are no exception.

"Since the system has pointed out that the time limit of the emergency mission is one day in the world of the Red Moon, can it be understood that it is a day on Earth in this timeline?"

"Since it is a day on the earth, it is common sense to infer that the time of the earth's rotation is one day and night, that is, the usual twenty-four hours......"

"Assuming that the world of the Red Moon also has a rotation pattern in which day and night are equally divided, is it possible to theoretically divide the night into twelve hours?"

"It's been two hours since the beginning, and it stands to reason that the red moon in the sky should show some signs of moving, even if it hasn't risen into the sky."

"But the Red Moon didn't move, does this mean that the day in the Red Moon World is actually longer than the two of us imagined?"

Listening to 659 finish speaking in one breath, 173 felt that the heaviness in his heart seemed to be lightening a little.

"If a day in the Red Moon World is not twenty-four hours, but longer, then completing the urgent tasks given by the system is not an impossible task......

After thinking for a moment, 173 spoke.

"There's really nothing wrong with us doing this, but wouldn't it be too hasty to judge the timescale of this timeline based on the position of the red moon in the sky alone......"

"Indeed...... There are other factors to consider...... So what do you think? ”

Although it is from timeline 659 of level 2.0 civilization, 659 has never despised the variant from timeline 173 in front of him from beginning to end, even if the other party's civilization level is only level 1.2.

Because in his belief, technology should never be a tool to scorn the weak.

"Hmmm......"

After pondering for a long time, 173 gave a suggestion for 659 to slap his head.

"Why don't we ask the locals......

"I knew I had just asked the group of revengers...... Now, in the wilderness, where to find the locals......"

A hint of helplessness crossed 659's face, and the scene when Master Chief Hu Teng also launched a charge flashed through his mind again.

"Yes, at the moment, although these two human-faced lizards have been on the road, the environment is barren and they can't see where their destination is......

173 was also like a deflated ball, and his spirit instantly withered a lot.

The ghost knows how long the two human-faced lizards will have to restrain them, although there is no danger, but the bodies of the two are also restricted and very passive.

If you arrive at your destination in a short time, you will be able to return it

Okay, but if this human-faced lizard is a veteran of long-distance running, and directly leads the two of them to the end of the time limit for urgent tasks, then the fun will be great.

"No way, I tried it just now, I can't break free with brute force, unless I use the ball lightning generator on my arm, but it's too close, and it's easy to blow myself up by doing so......"

"You still have a device to get out, I can only resign myself to fate......"

173 kept wailing, like an old woman at the mouth of the alley who complained about her fate.

As if he understood what the two Elders were talking about, the human-faced lizards that had been running wildly suddenly increased their speed at the same time, and with a speed that was nearly twice as fast as before, they spread out and rushed forward.

As the human-faced lizards sprinted, the bodies of the two Elders began to involuntarily lean back, and even with the restraint of their tails, the feeling of acceleration was still very obvious.

"I'm a Nuwa Niangniang, why did I suddenly speed up ......"

"Huh? Why does it seem that there is no way ahead? ”

"! Is it a cliff?! ”

"No, it's not a cliff, 173 look, there's no road around, it's the coastline!"

As 659 said, a fault suddenly appeared in the flat and open earth, as if someone had cut it neatly, and as the human-faced lizard continued to run wildly, the scenery that had been previously obscured by the terrain gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

The fault ahead is indeed not a cliff, but a coastline that runs through both ends.

It's just that behind the coastline is not the sparkling sea, but the sand that is drier than the cracked wasteland.

"Ahh

The sudden feeling of weightlessness and the rapid upward movement of the surrounding references made 173, who had been using his mental power to probe his surroundings, feel dizzy.

With the screams of 173, the human-faced lizard Xiaocai, who was running in front, jumped up first and jumped down towards the dry seabed.

Without the filling of seawater, the bare seabed sand forms a certain drop from the cliffs on the shore, although it is not as high as the cliffs, but there is still a distance.

The big color behind Xiao Cai was relatively stable, although it also increased the speed of running, but did not jump off the coastline like Xiao Cai in front of him, but chose a more gentle dive, only to see his six big feet swing wildly, like a toy frog with a full clockwork.

For a moment, the cliffs were dusty, and the shadows of human-faced lizards faintly sketched beside the uninhabited coastline.

Although Xiaocai's downhill process was a little exciting, fortunately, it did not forget that it was still carrying people on its back, and after some tossing and turning, it landed steadily on the dry sand under the sea.

"I dripping a Nuwa Niangniang, almost ...... my whole pants"

173 trembling thoughts along the tail of the big color into 659's mind, it is not difficult to guess that compared to the big color more stable downhill way, the small color jumped down obviously caused a lot of psychological shadow to the passengers on its back.

After a moment of respite in place, the two human-faced lizards set off again, only this time it was Dacai who was riding in front of 659, and Xiaocai, who was more mischievous, followed behind.

"What the hell is happening on Earth within this timeline......"

Through the diffusion of psychic perception, 659 discovered that not only was the ocean dry up in their location, but also the same situation around them.

If it weren't for the abundance of coral and shells left in the sand, 659 would have thought they had come to a lifeless desert......
