"Big guy save ...... Eh...... I can see ......."

The restraints around his body suddenly loosened, and even the bowl-shaped mouth covering his head was removed, and 173 soon felt precious freedom, but the next second when he saw his surroundings clearly, the atmosphere began to stiffen again.

"Ehehe, it turns out that the big guy is here, why don't you say anything, eh, who is this beauty, is it a new partner......

Looking at the embarrassed expression on 659's face, 173 also roughly understood at this time, and while constantly snoring, he quickly climbed off the back of the human-faced lizard.

Seeing that the two Elders were already standing in front of her, the woman in armor cleared her throat and spoke.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xu Xiaoxiao, I am the guard at the entrance of the dungeon N-B, he is my adjutant, and his name is Ye Shuihan."

After that, Xu Xiaoxiao's gaze stayed on the faces of 659 and 173 for a moment, and then looked at Ye Shuihan who was a little farther away.

Feeling the woman's gaze, Ye Shuihan, who had a ponytail, took out his trouser pocket, grabbed a pack of crumpled cigarettes from it, and stuffed it into his mouth as if nothing happened.

"See what I'm doing? Your military rank is higher than mine, you can just ask. ”

With that, he took out a box of matches from his other pocket, skillfully swiped them, and lit the cigarette in his mouth.

Between the light and end of the cigarette butt, a thin burst of smoke spit out from Ye Shuihan's thin lips and slowly spread in the air.

"Ye Shuihan! I'm going to be angry if you do this again! ”

"Eh, okay, okay, I ask, I can't ask......"

Ye Shuihan, who was originally serious with a slightly melancholy temperament, saw that Xu Xiaoxiao's face was about to show anger, and immediately seemed to be a different person, revealing a flattering smile.

"It's so cheap......"

659 and 173 complained at the same time in their hearts.

"Then I don't need to repeat my name, the two must be Elder from another timeline, right? What do you call it? ”

Ye Shuihan's gaze jumped back and forth on the faces of 659 and 173, and the expression on his face changed back to his original lazy appearance.

"Well, my name is Zhang Heng."

Before 659 could speak, 173 preemptively announced his name.

Although there is indeed nothing wrong with what 173 said, this rush to answer suddenly made 659 instantly stuck.

I saw him stunned looking at the mutant beside him, unable to say a word for a long time, and after a while, a sentence popped out of his mouth.

"My name is Zhang Heng...... It's just that he's from a different timeline......"

"Mm-hmm, I know that, so what I want to ask is, which timeline are you from?"

Ye Shuihan nodded, and then added.

"I heard this little brother call you the 659 boss when I was checking earlier, so you must have come from the 659 Timeline Rift, right?"

Facing the other party's scrutinizing gaze, 659 pondered for a moment and nodded in affirmation.

"So this little brother Zhang Heng, which timeline are you from?"

"Uh, me? Actually, I don't know which timeline I'm from, but when the 659 boss saw me before, he said that I was from timeline 173, so you should treat me as a Elder from that timeline. ”

Compared with the seriousness of 659, 173 was a little talkative, and he quickly talked to Ye Shuihan.

"Timeline 659, Timeline 173, although there have been a few Elder before, but it's the first time I've encountered ...... like the two of you who came together."

With a light pinch of his index finger and thumb, Ye Shuihan gently took off the cigarette on his lips, flicked the cigarette ash without care, and put it on his mouth again.

I take out a single from my left arm

Hearing this, 659 of the glasses paused for a moment with a slight pause in his hand.

"The Elder has been here before, too? Can you elaborate on what is really going on in this world? ”

173 opened his mouth to ask, his current mentality is very good, he asks straightforwardly what he thinks, anyway, no matter how bad the current situation is, it will not be worse than the death mission released by the pit daddy system, right?

"Yes, but I can only tell you a rough idea, after all, my rank is not enough, and I can't understand the deeper content."

"Since the Cataclysm, the military has recorded a total of nine times of contact with the Elder, and if you are counted, it should be ten."

"Every contact with the Elders will be of great help to the human side, from weapons and equipment to turning the tide of battle."

"Originally, with the help of the Elder, we should have been able to win the whole game, but ......"

Speaking of this, Ye Shuihan's eyes were obviously much darker.

"However, due to the fact that they did not realize the criticality of the Elder for the first few times, and the complicated situation at that time, the military was always on guard against it, and missed several important opportunities."

"In this way, there will be irremediable variables in the final situation, and mankind will completely lose the opportunity to dominate again, and will be reduced to what it is today."

Ye Shuihan took a sharp puff of his cigarette and paused for two seconds.

659 noticed that the man with the ponytail in front of him was trembling slightly, as if he remembered something terrible.

Finally, Ye Shuihan exhaled the smoke and the turbidity in his lungs for a long time, and said in a relaxed tone with a little regret.

"To put it simply, we lost, the Terrans lost, and from now on we can only live in the underground city, being a rat that steals their lives."

The half-burned cigarette was stuffed back into his mouth, and Ye Shuihan took another puff as if to calm the emotions in his heart.

The flame of the cigarette butt instantly brightened, and quickly burned to the end with the slight breathing sound of several people around.

"Ahem......"

It seemed that the last puff of cigarette was too strong, and the intense stimulation made Ye Shuihan couldn't help coughing a few times.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao on the side wanted to step forward to care, but was blocked by Ye Shuihan's raised hand.

"But......"

The hoarse voice sounded again, and at this moment 659 seemed to understand why the voice of the ponytail man in front of him was so peculiar.

"Humanity has never been a race that easily admits defeat, even if we have lost, we will not give up the struggle!"

"That's why our Avengers were founded! Not for the revival of the human race, only for revenge! ”

Speaking of this, there was a flash of fire in Ye Shuihan's eyes, as if there was a monstrous anger in it, and he only hated that there was nowhere to vent at the moment.

The atmosphere froze at this moment, and everyone present was silent.

Ye Shuihan and Xu Xiaoxiao were probably immersed in the grief and anger of the past, but 659 and 173 were really embarrassed.

Because what Ye Shuihan said was too general, it was like a book with ups and downs in the plot, which was simply summarized into one sentence.

Although I know that the process may be very tortuous, it is too difficult for the two elders from the Elder to empathize with just one sentence.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, 173 finally couldn't help but take the lead in speaking.

"Ahem, that, Brother Ye, although I can't quite understand your feelings, I will definitely do my best to help you."

"Hehe, the timeline of this world has collapsed, you can't do anything, oh yes, patronizing and talking about the past, I haven't asked you what the purpose of the Elder is here, after all, we haven't met the Elder since ten years ago."

The fire in his eyes was hidden, and Ye Shuihan returned to the first place again

A slightly melancholy appearance in the front.

"This time, are you here to collect information fragments?"

Although the expression on his face had returned to its original state, Ye Shuihan's body was still trembling, like a thinly dressed traveler walking in a winter night, cold and helpless.

Looking at the other party's inquiring eyes, 173 opened his mouth, but finally couldn't tell the fact that he came here because of the mistake of the Elder Realm, and nodded slightly.

But then he felt that such a small movement seemed not enough for the other party to notice, and after taking a shallow breath, he said affirmatively.

"That's right, the 659 boss and I are here to collect information fragments and help the Terrans turn the tables at the same time! You say yes, 659 boss? ”

"Huh?"

659, who had been pondering beside him, looked at 173 with a confused expression, and had a sincere greeting in his heart, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"Big brother, can you be more independent when you make such a big promise to others? Can you please take me with you? ”

"Even if you want to take me, can you discuss it with me, hey!"

"You're here to lead the Terrans to turn the tables around, I'm not, I'm just here to collect information fragments!"

After complaining frantically in his heart for a while, 659 finally had a reluctant smile on his face.

"I'll help 173 and help you as much as I can."

"Then I'll thank you for the two of you here first......

Seeing that 659 also gave a positive reply, a grateful smile bloomed on Ye Shuihan's face.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot something very important!"

The stiff atmosphere was slightly more harmonious, and 173 interrupted with a sudden pat on the head.

"What?"

Ye Shuihan and Xu Xiaoxiao cast questioning glances at 173 at the same time.

"How long is your day here?"

173 scratched his head and said bluntly.

"How long is a day? This ......"

The content of this question did not seem to be what Xu Xiaoxiao expected, so after hearing what 173 said, the woman in armor was stunned for a moment.

"Are you referring to our inherent time scale, or the length of time it takes for the Earth to undergo a cycle of day and night?"

Compared with Xu Xiaoxiao's stunned expression, Ye Shuihan quickly grasped the key point in the 173 inquiry and asked rhetorically.

"Well, let's talk about it, what is your inherent time scale?"

173 added that his idea was that since he had asked, he should simply ask more clearly.

"We measure time by using a cesium-133 atomic resonator to define the second, and the cesium atom will release a fixed frequency of radiation, and we define the time it takes for this radiant thin vibration to 91926317770 times as one second."

"60 seconds to define a minute, 60 minutes to define an hour, the time of the day, is 24 hours."

Hearing this, both 173 and 659's hearts chuckled.

Listening to Ye Shuihan's definition of time, it seems that there is no difference from the definition of time on the timeline where they are.

Could it be that the release of the system is really a mortal task?

Is 173 really going to face the fate of failing the mission and then being humanely destroyed by the system?

"However, this was the definition of ten years ago, and now the earth's cycle of day and night is no longer twenty-four hours, if you use the previous time definition, the time of one day and night on the earth should be 1,200 hours."

"Twelve hundred hours?!"

659 and 173 both let out a low cry at the same time, and a smile of escape from death appeared on their faces......
