Chapter 572: The Detective once said

In fact, Song Lan didn't care about the victory of the war, or the fate of the coalition government.

Even if he hadn't met Lu Xiang in the 17th District, he would probably have gone to another city to live a new life on the eve of the war.

At this point, Lu Xiang's opinion of him is not wrong.

Even if the war spread to the coalition government, it would not affect him at all.

This is the biggest difference between him and Lu Xiang.

Although Lu Xiang has also witnessed the dark side of the coalition government, and the never-ending infighting has made the country, like any civilization in history, inevitably begin to decline after experiencing extreme prosperity, the experience of Daystar Academy has always made her think about problems from the position of the coalition government.

For this "empire", she is actually the same as these expeditionary forces who have embarked on a journey, although there are many grievances on weekdays, but she still has a strong sense of belonging.

But Song Lan is different.

Anywhere in the world, you can find a comfortable bed and a place where he can live comfortably.

He originally thought that this was a side effect of "crossing over", so that he had no sense of belonging to this strange world, but after experiencing so many events, he changed his opinion.

If the reverberation of memories caused by "time travel" is a side effect of the timeline change, if the "ascension" theory of the president of Wisteria Flower Academy is real...... So in what way will the "upper lifeforms" he describes look at the world?

He seemed to find the answer to that question in the swarm.

For this new group that he pulled and "grew up", he was more curious.

It's like a flower farmer admiring a sprout that breaks through the ground, curious about what it will look like in this complex and turbulent world.

But now, Song Lan has truly realized the benefits of the swarm.

The reason why he had time to wander was because they were on the back of the "transport team" at the moment, which was a kind of transport unit hatched by the Devourer for long-distance transportation, and in the process of mutation and evolution of the swarm, Song Lan had to praise Ge Fu for his carefulness.

This seemingly crazy science maniac has always been able to pay attention to the most detailed parts of the user experience.

The back of the "transport team" grows soft "cushions", which can make the passengers have a comfortable experience during long journeys.

But in reality, the "transport squad" is a ferocious and violent giant creature.

Its body is over 10 meters long and covered with a hard biological carapace except for its back, and according to Medell's data, an individual in a "transport team" can use its ivory comparable to that of an ice field to overturn mechanized units such as tanks and war mechs.

In front of this behemoth, the wild mutants that attacked them had only one ending: being crushed.

The night heron, which was also riding on the "transport squad", did not say a word.

After resting for the night, she had a new understanding of Lu Xiang and the insect clan she led, and it was this subversive cognition that made her fall into contradictory emotions.

The instinct imprinted in her genetic sequence made her realize that this was an extremely dangerous race, and it also made her want to drive the entire swarm out of the territory of the Third Neutral Nation.

The mission of the "Angels of Death" of the Church is to resolutely fulfill the mission given to them by the archbishop, and her mission in this journey is to bring the participants of the Sacrifice of the End to the scene of this festival, but before last night, she had never doubted that the archbishop would win the final victory of this festival.

However, after witnessing the swarm devastating the mutants sweeping away the entire city, Nightheron's unwavering faith is shaken.

What they have invited is perhaps an enemy like never before.

The three of them had their own ideas, and there was little dialogue along the way.

In a long silence, the outline of the city called Antigan emerged at the end of the road, both as the capital of the Third Neutral State and as a military fortress after the Eclipse "Pit" had spiraled out of control.

The Lunar Eclipse Cult has been fighting against the mutants that continue to emerge in the "mines" for a long time, in order to avoid being attacked as wild mutants, before approaching the city, Song Lan disbanded the "transport team", these behemoths leaned down and put the three of them on the ground, Song Lan patted the big guy's head lightly, and it happily escaped into the ground, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The war in the Church was equally fierce.

The closer you get to Antigon, the stronger the smell of blood fills the air.

Both sides of the road were littered with the mangled corpses left behind by the retreat of the cultists, and those who had not been eaten by the mutants became one of them, wandering aimlessly outside the walls like walking dead.

The three of them arrived at Antigang in the afternoon, and the setting sun shone on the city, and stationed on the defensive structure was a group of cultists wearing gray robes and hiding their heads in cloaks, which made Song Lan, who was accustomed to seeing exoskeleton armor, genetically modified warriors, and war machines, feel as if she had suddenly returned to the Middle Ages.

The way these cultists fight is intriguing, armed with gun-like weapons, and the shots that come out of the muzzle are not bullets, but beams that resemble psionic materializations.

These beams are superior to mutants, at least much more effective than the electromagnetic rifles that the Coalition Government has equipped for the Expeditionary Force.

The corpses of mutants are piled up under the fortifications, and even so, a steady stream of mutants is approaching here every day.

The garrison recognized the night heron, and after working with the night heron to clean up the last batch of mutants, they opened the secret passage to the interior of Antigan, urging the three of them to enter as soon as possible.

Song Lan thought that Archbishop Heliface would receive them personally, but since entering the city, they were arranged into a hotel.

The current situation of the war is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Lunar Eclipse Cult, and what is worse is that the loss of control of the "Mine" has caused a huge disagreement within the Lunar Eclipse Cult for the first time, and the archbishop is busy dealing with the internal affairs of the Church, and has no intention of meeting with them as outsiders.

But on the other hand, Heliface did not let this be a cruel "chicken game", and as soon as they stepped into Antigon, they formed an elite assassination team to eradicate the competitors of the festival.

"Everywhere you go, you can see infighting."

Walking into the room arranged for them by the church, Song Lan leaned back comfortably on the sofa.

Why do people hurt each other?

This is destined to remain a mystery forever.

"They are discussing who is responsible for the runaway 'pit'."

The night heron looked worried, and he didn't look very energetic.

While fighting the mutants that have sprung up in the "mines", the cultists urgently need to be brought to justice for the culprits responsible for all this.

Seeing the little girl's sad appearance, Song Lan introduced the experience to the night heron.

Anyway, he can be regarded as a detective.

"When we encounter this kind of problem, we can solve it with elimination."

"Elimination?"

The night heron's eyes regained some brilliance.

After getting along for the past few days, she realized that Song Lan not only has superb cooking skills, but also has a wealth of knowledge.

No wonder he has become the most valued person by Lu Xiang among the insect swarm.

"Detective Sherlock Holmes once said that if you eliminate all impossible circumstances, no matter how unbelievable the rest, it is the truth."

"But...... How? ”

Night Heron tilted her head, she didn't know who Sherlock Holmes was, and she didn't have the slightest idea of the elimination method mentioned by Song Lan.

"First of all, we can help you clear out two wrong answers."

Song Lan clasped her hands around her chest and said in a firm tone, "This matter can't be done by me or Lu Xiang, when the 'mine' was out of control, we were all in District 17 and had ample alibi." ”
