"...Hey! Are you sure they disappeared from this place?"
On the surface of the Varro ruins a hundred meters above, several scattered figures walked around the skeletons scattered around the stone ruins, while constantly confirming every detail of the nearby environment: "You guys
Did you really see it?"
"We didn't actually see them come here. What we can confirm is that they have been inquiring about this place before."
One of them grabbed his arm and asked fiercely, and the man who looked like a herdsman answered with a trembling body that seemed to be swaying in the air: "They asked about some things, and then they walked along the river bank toward this place.
After leaving, I don’t know what’s left!”
"He, did they die here?" Another herdsman who was following behind and holding a pitchfork heard the sound and hurriedly whispered to the warrior player in front of him: "It's been such a long time.
They might have died in the mouths of those monsters..."
"Impossible." The warrior player who interrupted the other party immediately and glared at the first herdsman categorically denied: "If they were dead, they would have already... uh."
"In short, we will get the news of their death as soon as possible." He sighed in a low voice. At some point, another player holding a large shield came from the front and revealed his equally burly figure in these disputes.
In front of the crowd who got up: "Since we have not received any similar news, it proves that they are all still alive."
"That's right, including the homeless man who was under our temporary custody and has now disappeared with him." Shen Sheng echoed the other party's statement, and the soldier who was responsible for the inquiry pointed to the other tribal soldiers who were also searching around him with a straight face.
Pointed: "Even if they act responsibly, the Sioux and his warriors will do their best to recover all these people. We don't want to create more misunderstandings."
"That, that's good." The three or two herdsmen surrounded by them with staring eyes heard the sound and hurriedly waved their hands: "We don't want the harm we have suffered to continue.
I’ll live here for a while.”
"It's a pity that your clan leader doesn't seem to think so." He pouted his lips, and the soldier standing in the front pressed the handle of the sword at his waist: "It's not just us who are responsible.
To deal with this matter, we still need to explain... Well, this place is so close to the territory of the Nake tribe, maybe they did it."
"Say less."
The increasingly obvious mutterings were interrupted again by the big shield warrior behind him. The voice belonging to this steady warrior was also raised along with the strong wind blowing through the place: "Sorry, because there have been many things recently, so
My companions and I are emotionally unstable, so please bear with us as we are also working on this matter, and work with us to advance and retreat together in the face of this coming storm."
"We will also do our best to find out the truth and find our companions." He solemnly raised his fist and hit his chest, performing a standard free continent mercenary etiquette: "Thank you for your willingness to cooperate with us in this mission.
The actions of search and investigation, and the goodwill you have given will definitely receive the rewards you deserve."
"Hey, people who can talk are different."
The cross-sword warrior, who turned around with his eyes closed and watched the herdsmen leaving here, finally took on his own breath and muttered: "If I had known that this would be like this, what else would you do for me? What do you want me to do?"
Wouldn’t it be over if you come over and take care of it yourself?”
"Of course not, we are a team." The warrior player, who crossed his arms with an annoyed look and carried a large shield, squinted his eyes and replied: "Even if you don't want to be responsible for what happened before, you can still
This place should use its meager value...Have you done what I asked you to test before?"
"Of course, this is my strength." He replied excitedly while waving his arms. The bright eyes of the knife-wielding warrior soon dimmed again according to the content of his answer: "But those skeletons are really difficult.
Although the attack method is relatively simple, the body is really dark and hard..."
"What about intensity?"
"If you ask me to evaluate them, these skeletons should not be considered invincible enemies."
As if he understood which direction the other party was asking about at this time, the knife-wielding warrior player held his chin and frowned and lowered his head: "Even if you can't defeat him, there is at least no problem in self-protection. Of course, if you are besieged, it may not be possible."
That’s great to say…”
"The problem is that among them there is a wounded person with a broken hand, and there is also an unstable factor that has come to their side." The soldier who also had a thoughtful expression on his back continued in a low voice.
: "If that guy deliberately wants to plot, the situation may become quite complicated. After all, we have also practiced with him, and his strength is almost impossible to predict and estimate."
"Then do you want to... call in and take a look?"
Pointing to the unknown area surrounded by stone pillars and broken walls, the warrior turned his eyes to the front and pressed the hilt of the knife on his waist again: "Since there are so many warriors here, it should be okay to go in and break in."
It’s nothing, right?”
"You fighting maniac, can you please calm down a little?" He was answered by a dull knock from his companion: "Then the Sioux people have no reason to accompany us through life and death. They can no longer afford to suffer greater losses.
Now, don’t forget that if we don’t handle it well, there will be a Wabu tribe watching us.”
"So I said from the beginning, don't act together with these strange guys." He glanced in the direction of the tribal warriors who were still cautiously patrolling and searching along the edge of the monster area, and put away his eager attitude.
The sword warrior player lowered his voice: "Since the northwest of Shanxi has become a mess, we might as well take this opportunity to part ways. Anyway, at most we will lose the friendship of a Baibu Wushuang and a caravan, as long as we grab a few horses
Ma, we can still travel very leisurely..."
"Why, did you reveal your ambition so quickly?" He was answered with the disdainful eyes of a shield warrior with his arms folded and looking at him: "I know you have always wanted to secretly plot some strange conspiracy.
Ambition, but can you please stop making trouble first? The current situation is chaotic enough——"
boom!
Before he could finish his words, a rumbling vibration came from the grassland at the feet of several people and the center of the ruins in the distance. A storm rose into the sky, followed by a surge of energy, and with the help of countless grass clippings,
The sight of flying rocks rushed towards the endless sky in front of them.
*************************************
"We really just left like this?"
Time returned to the depths of the underground ruins earlier. Xueling Huanbing, who was located in the laboratory passage in the core area, broke the silence during the march with a low voice: "Leave that Kyle II there like that, it really doesn't matter."
question?"
"Whether it's from the perspective of building a good relationship or from the perspective of uncovering clues, we shouldn't throw it away - I know what you want to say."
Sighing deeply, Duan Qing, who was staggering forward with the power of Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice, replied in a low voice: "But it takes ability to help him. Look at the way it looks now, it's almost
It can’t even move, what can I do to help it?”
"..."
"And the most important thing is, 'we help it' and 'it helps us' are not the same."
Feeling the silent emotion of the white-haired woman next to him, Duan Qing paused for a moment and then continued to explain in a low voice: "Maybe you who just woke up don't feel this deeply, but Shi Ayun and I have already
This consensus has been reached before, and it has also said before: It has not given up punishing us, but it is just unable to carry out this operation now."
"Once we help it recover, we will only get a stronger enemy."
He let out a long sigh again, and Duan Qing's gaze lingered on Xueling Huanbing again: "I know this sounds very weird, but the logic of robots is inherently different from that of us humans, even if the simulation is no more similar.
also the same."
"So the way you men think is always so rough and ruthless." Xue Ling Huan Bing heard the sound and snorted coldly: "I just think it's a bit pitiful to put it there."
"Really? Congratulations to you, you actually developed feelings for that ancient magical machine." Duan Qing looked forward again and replied in an emotionless voice: "I'm sorry to break up you so quickly. I even
I also want to inform you with pain and cruelty: there may be no chance for you to meet again."
"Stop talking nonsense." Then he received an angry slap from Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Save me some effort. I'm not as relaxed as you are now. I'm dragging two people with me.
"
"Actually, I don't want to bring this guy with me."
Turning back to Shi Ayun's half-dead body, which was dragged on the ground by Xueling Huanbing, Duan Qing unconsciously let out a bitter smile: "But considering that we live and die together, we have fought together.
Relationships, if you can take them away, it’s better to take them away.”
"Hey, did you develop some kind of forbidden feelings between you? During the period when I was away?" He was answered with the same disdainful and teasing eyes from Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Otherwise, we were still there before.
You were criticizing each other, why did you suddenly change your attitude now?"
"No matter how abnormal it is, it is impossible for me to have any strange feelings for an NPC of a foreign race and a middle-aged homeless person." Duan Qing rolled his eyes and curled his lips indifferently.
: "As for what happened during your time as Sleeping Beauty, at least it made me understand what he has been pursuing, and why he rushed to the depths of this ruin so persistently.
"
"Oh? It sounds like another long story." Looking at the motionless body dragged on the ground behind him, Xueling Huanbing let out a helpless sigh: "But judging from the current results, Chong
Going to such a deep place doesn’t seem like a good choice.”
"Are you referring to the possibility of contracting the virus?" Duan Qing replied calmly: "Don't worry, judging from the quality of the products displayed by those skeletons, even if they do mutate, at least they have to wait.
It will take a long time after the host dies for the reaction to occur."
"So we still have to ensure that he is alive?" Xue Ling Huanbing reluctantly pointed to the corpse-like body behind him: "Otherwise, in the end, the corpse will become our enemy and suddenly appear from behind.
Attack us?"
"Let's assume that these skeletons will show individual differences before birth. After all, we have seen many skeleton varieties with different abilities, different professions and types." Duan Qing tilted his head, and there was also a hint of weakness in Duan Qing's expression.
With a somewhat troubled expression, he said: "If a guy like Shi Ayun becomes a kindred spirit of the undead, even if his strength is compromised, he should be a very difficult guy to deal with."
"That's right, so before we rule out the possibility of 'virus', we need to try our best to ensure his life safety." Putting away the various expressions on his face, Xue Ling Huan Bing's deep voice also suddenly changed as he went ahead.
There was a slight change due to the bright light: "That is to say...wait a minute."
"Are we on the right track?"
The howling wind swept across the sky in the direction of the light as the two figures crossed the next intersection, accompanied by countless surging energy light bands passing above the heads of the two people.
The magnificent picture, the front of the passage illuminated by the energy light belt, also shows a corner of the emerald storm gathered there particularly clearly. The whirlwind that originally swept all the debris around seemed to be refreshed by the rhythmic whistling.
Many: "This, this place is - a pothole?"
"Are we back in the central pothole?"
Using his arms to block the constant wind pressure coming from the front, Duan Qing tried his best to confirm his system map: "No, this is the edge of the connected area... When did we come back?"
"You, didn't you say you wanted to go this way?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who answered him, also tried his best to stabilize his figure: "I believe you and have been walking down this road! You -
"
"Discover a type of life form and begin to identify it."
Before the two players started to argue, a tall metal figure appeared from the depths of the rear passage with heavy footsteps, and the light of the scan also made Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing turn their heads in confusion.
He flashed through the scene, and finally settled on Duan Qing: "The identity comparison is completed, based on the transmission data of the clone——"
"Considered an intruder."
