Walked along the underground water road for a day.

Maybe more than a day.

Lin Feng and Eula couldn't remember exactly how long it had been.

Anyway.

They finally found the Ninth Company, which was trapped underground.

It's a dilapidated camp.

Inside were a few sturdy Fatui soldiers.

Their uniforms, made of special materials, were now tattered and full of holes.

As soon as I saw Lin Feng and Eula.

A few people emitted a green light in their eyes like hungry wolves, and they stood up to meet them.

"Traveler over there, yes, it's you, sorry to disturb you, I'm Anton, Sergeant Melnikov, of the Ninth Company. Acting company commander, you can just call me Anton. ”

"These are Danila, Timol, Radomir and Romansky."

"I'm sorry. Friend, I'm sorry to bother you, we need your help now. ”

The Fatui soldier in the lead was a strong man with a stature of nearly two meters.

It's just that his current figure and body shape are seriously inconsistent, his cheeks are thin, the traces of bones are clearly visible, and the military uniform that should have been fitting is swaying from side to side with his movements at this time.

It was clear that his body could no longer hold up the uniform.

"Ahh

Seeing this situation, Lin Feng sighed heavily: "Are there only a few of you left?" ”

This Fatui with the same name and surname as Tartaglia's younger brother had no idea that Lin Feng would say this.

He was ready for Lin Feng to reject them, or taunt them.

Therefore, when facing Lin Feng's question, he was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "There are still a few people in the health camp over there. ”

"How many of you are left?"

"Seven people."

"Are there only seven of the sixty-four left?"

"Yes."

Speaking of this sad number, Anton hung his head, and the other Fatui also hung their heads, as if tears were rolling in their eyes.

Suddenly.

Anton woke up and said, "You, who are you?" Why do you know so much about our situation? ”

As he spoke, he condensed not much strength, with the sound of the emerald wind, and looked vigilantly on guard.

Several others also urged their evil eyes.

There is the element of water, there is the element of fire, there is the element of rock.

Everyone was holding weapons and aimed at Lin Feng and Eula.

But when the elemental force was activated, their hands were trembling slightly, and they saw that they were hungry and had no strength, and they were barely holding themselves up.

"Ahh

"Poor fellows."

Lin Feng muttered, and then took out a badge and showed it to them.

This is the badge of the Solstice Senior Inspector General.

As the name suggests, the holder of this badge represents the status of Senior Inspector General of the Solstice.

As for whether there will be a fake.

Very simple.

This badge is bound to the Evil Eye, and if you don't have it, you can't activate the special Evil Eye, so you can't make this badge shine.

And now.

This badge of the Senior Inspector General is shining brightly, and it is needless to say whether it is true or not.

"Inspector General."

After confirming Lin Feng's identity, the condensed elemental power in Anton's hand suddenly dissipated.

Several other people are also in the same state.

His lips trembled, and he looked at Lin Feng with trembling all over.

It's not scary.

It's that I haven't seen my own people for a long time.

The tears that had been suppressed could no longer be held back, these soldiers who were trapped in the dark underground, fighting against hunger and panic, and fighting against the abyss monsters for a whole month without crying, finally burst into tears when they saw the badge in Lin Feng's hand.

They seem to want to vent all the grievances of the past month.

Everyone was crying bitterly.

A handful of tears, a handful of snot, and he didn't care at all that he lost his image in front of the chief.

Anton, in particular, cried the worst.

"Yakov, Alifia, Yenika, Zarha."

He sat helplessly on the ground, spitting out a dozen names in his mouth.

He didn't need to explain.

Lin Feng naturally knew what was going on.

These.

They are the names of soldiers who died after the closure of the Chasm.

They did not die in the confrontation with the abyss, but they lost their lives in vain at the turn of their allies.

Maybe they starved to death, maybe they were attacked by monsters and died, or maybe they even chose to kill themselves to save the others when they were desperately short of food.

It doesn't matter if it's a way to die.

They all died because of the betrayal of the Liyue people.

"I'll avenge them."

Lin Feng comforted softly.

It's not loud.

But in the silent underground, everyone could clearly hear Lin Feng's words.

Anton: They cried even louder.

They waited long, long, long.

So long that they forgot how long they had been in this dark underground.

Finally let them wait for their own chief, a commander who is willing to stand up for himself.

Lin Feng and Eula waited patiently for them to finish venting their emotions, and then took out the food they had prepared long ago and handed it to them.

These soldiers had been hungry for too long.

What Lin Feng gave them was two boiled potatoes per person, a long strip of bread that was a special product of the solstice, and a glass of milk.

After taking the food.

Several soldiers looked at each other, no one was in a hurry to eat first, but said with a little pleading: "Sir, there are two brothers in the health camp over there, can you.?" ”

"You eat first, I'll go to the health camp and have a look."

Lin Feng nodded, did not refuse, but just proposed to go to the health camp to have a look.

Anton volunteered to lead the way, leaving the others in the camp.

Along.

Anton carefully held the hard-won food, obviously very hungry, but he was not willing to eat a mouthful.

After arriving at the health camp.

Lin Feng closed his eyes and sighed again.

Eula couldn't bear to see the miserable situation here, and turned her head away.

Over here.

Densely packed urns were placed, and two yellow-faced and thin-skinned soldiers dragged their sick bodies to guard here.

It's not so much about keeping.

It's better to wait for death here.

Their condition is much worse than that of Anton.

Not only was he swollen from hunger due to lack of food, but he also had injuries on his body, one leg was broken, and the wounds were all festering, and the other chest was tightly wrapped with a white bandage, but under the bandage, there was a strange stench.

If Lin Feng hadn't come here, the two of them would have died of wound infection in less than two days.

"Yo, isn't this our acting company commander?"

"You've found food."

Seeing Anton coming with food, one of the soldiers forced a smile, and then said: "Rakov and I have food, you can quickly take it to the brothers, they have been hungry for a long time." ”

The other soldier didn't have the strength to speak, but just waved at Anton and motioned for him to leave quickly.

As for Lin Feng and Eula, who came with Anton, the two of them directly ignored it and didn't even look at it.

Lin Feng didn't speak, he just raised his hand, and the power of the azure water element condensed in his hand, and then under his sway, it turned into spring rain and fell softly on the two soldiers.

"What are you doing?"

The soldier with the broken leg frowned, wanting to resist, but he didn't have the strength.

"Huh, my injuries?"

"My wounds are healed!"

"My injuries are healed!"

Under Lin Feng's healing technique, the two soldiers suddenly exclaimed.

This was the wound they had sustained while fighting the monsters, and their wounds had been getting worse due to lack of food and medicine, so they stayed here and waited for their deaths.

Unexpectedly.

Lin Feng just raised his hand, and the wound that had been bothering them for a long time was healed.

"This is the Inspector."

"He's here to save us."

Seeing that their injuries were healed, Anton also grinned, and stuffed the food in his hands into the hands of the two soldiers: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, the chief is here, we can go home, we finally don't have to stay in this dark place." ”

As he spoke, Anton began to cry again.

"Are these all fallen soldiers?"

Lin Feng asked, pointing to the urns.

He had roughly counted it just now, and there were a total of thirty-one urns here, all of which were the words of the fallen soldiers, plus the seven of Anton, there were only thirty-eight people, which was still far from the establishment of the ninth company.

"Yes, sir."

Anton took a deep breath, calmed down and replied: "We have been scattered, we have lost contact with each other, and more than half of the sacrifices and disappearances may have occurred, these are the only things we can keep for everyone." ”

Lin Feng nodded, didn't ask any more, just took out some food again and handed it to them.

Wait until they are all well fed and drunk.

Lin Fengcai said again: "Have you seen Katya and Kolya? ”

Katya is Katarina's real name, and only people close to her, friends who are considered relatives by her, can call her.

Kolya is Nikolai.

Hearing Lin Feng call them that, Anton and the two soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Sir, are you from the Fireplace House?" ”

"Hmm."

"Katya and Kolya are my younger siblings."

Lin Feng nodded and admitted the matter.

Hear this.

Anton's flushed face changed again, and he said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, my lord, we were separated from Katya and Kolya. ”

Then.

He recounted the situation in 1510.

At that time, the 9th Company was underground, carrying out the task of cleaning up black mud.

Just as the black mud was about to be cleared, they were attacked by a relic guard.

This relic guard is very impressively defensive.

The attacks of the Ninth Company did not have any effect on him.

So the captain, who was not killed at that time, ordered all the men to retreat.

However, the team dragging the wounded was naturally not so fast to escape, and seeing that the ruin guard was getting closer and closer to everyone, Nikolai volunteered to stand up and lure the ruin guard away with a determination to die.

After the successful evacuation of the squad.

Katarina decided to go to her brother.

In order not to drag down her teammates, she chose to leave alone and embarked on a journey to find her brother.

Listen to these.

Lin Feng's brows furrowed.

If Anton's words are correct, then Nikolai is very dangerous.

"Is there a map? Mark me where Kolya was last seen. ”

Lin Feng commanded without saying anything.

This is urgent.

A relic guard capable of crushing an entire company, with Nicholas alone, he will most likely not survive.

Anton also knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately took out a crumpled map from his arms.

"Sir, here we are, the last place where Nikolai appeared."

Anton pointed out two locations on the map.

On the site where Nikolai disappeared, the word Nikolai was written with a red pen.

Other locations on the map also have names in red letters.

Needless to say, Lin Feng can also see it.

These were the places where other soldiers had died or disappeared, and the attentive Anton marked them all, hoping for the opportunity to bring them or their bodies back.

"You keep guarding here, and I'll take you home when I get Katya and Kolya back."

After Lin Feng gave the order, he handed over the food and water he had prepared to Anton.

"Yes, sir."

Anton gave a military salute excitedly, and then watched as Lin Feng and Eula's figures walked into the darkness and gradually disappeared into it.

Follow the map given by Anton.

Lin Feng cleaned up the black mud along the way, while looking for the location of Nikolai's disappearance.

Now his demon god power has succeeded in eight colors.

When absorbing the power of the abyss, it is not as painful and repulsive as before, but it can be very gentle to collect these powers into the body.

Just as Lin Feng had guessed before.

With the blessing of the god of flowers, these abyssal forces did not cause any backlash to his body.

Merely.

Now he can't do anything with others at will.

At the very least, under the vision of the gods, he can't do anything with others.

The power of the abyss in him is too obvious.

As long as he is not blind, he can guess what is going on when he sees the power of the demon god he uses.

It's dangerous.

"Do these forces have an effect on you?"

Seeing Lin Feng incorporate another black mud filth into his body, Eula asked with some concern.

The abyss can have an impact on one's consciousness.

Eula was worried that Lin Feng would do the same.

Coupled with the extreme pain that Lin Feng showed when he fused the power of the abyss, this made her even more afraid that Lin Feng would suffer a backlash.

"Not yet."

Lin Feng thoughtfully stretched out his hand to summon a cloud of abyssal power that was as black as ink.

Same as his demon god powers.

These abyssal powers, Lin Feng, can either mix it with other demon god powers, or use it alone.

"They're clean."

The abyss power in Lin Feng's hand didn't have that filthy feeling,

Lin Feng tried it with the plants and animals of the Strata Chasm.

The power of the abyss under their control will indeed give them power, but instead of turning people into crazy monsters, or turning animals into bloodthirsty monsters, they will become monsters that absorb elemental power similar to those that become deceptive flowers, and although they will show intelligence and aggression, they do not have the ability to continue to pollute the environment.

He was a little puzzled about this.

Is it the Tree of Immortal Power or one's own body that purifies these abyssal powers?

If it was the Tree of Immortal Power, then why was there such a fierce rejection reaction in the first place?

If it was his own body, then why was he still eroded by the power of the abyss when he was fighting in the abyss?

With such doubts.

Lin Feng found the place that Anton had marked for himself, and followed the footprints and traces underground, all the way to the dark and deep cave.

It wasn't until the end of the cave that he finally saw the man he was looking for.

Nikolai Schneitzvich.
