"Hit...Brother, I didn't expect to meet you here again? I brought Sayi here this time, and he is also from the Tenyin sect."
Luo Nie raised his right hand slightly embarrassed to greet Hit and explain.
His white right hand was open unconsciously, with the palm of his hand facing Hit's direction, and his mouth was half-smiling.
It seemed that for him, he temporarily switched from the sad thoughts of Natasha's diary to the warm greeting, which made him a little "downtime".
"Hey, isn't this Luo Nie who was at the telegraph office that day? My dear fellow Sugla, how come I meet you here today? What a wonderful coincidence." Hit said to Luo Nie in a "drama actor" tone.
joked.
Seeing that he was greeting him unnaturally, he simply put the "Socrate A-01" rifle on his back and followed Luo Nie's example of reaching out and shaking his hand to make a greeting gesture.
After comically imitating Luo Nie's movements, Hitt did not forget to reveal an expression of happiness and optimism from the heart that is rare in the wasteland world.
Immediately afterwards, he took off his brown mask, revealing his face with dark brown scars scattered around his eyes and the bridge of his nose that had experienced battles. With his eyes that were instantly filled with a soft look towards children, he spoke with this
The bloody wasteland era seems out of place.
"Brother Ronie, if you raise your left hand at the same time as your right hand, I have to consider the issue of preferential treatment for prisoners." Hit said with a rich and rough voice that fit his brown bear-like figure.
"Hahaha……"
The simple room No. 58, which was quite brightly lit by gas lights, was suddenly filled with joyful laughter.
…
"So, your destination is also the Silent Highlands, all the way with us. And this child named Sai is actually a child of the Tenyin sect, the same as Rosen? You even fought with them twice?"
After listening to Luo Nie's "travel" experience of the past ten days, Hit's brown eyes were filled with incredulity.
He couldn't understand that the young-looking Luo Nie, who didn't seem tall or strong and had a soft and cute voice, could possess such powerful power.
He knows the power of the lost and the unintentional, even those classified as superpowers among humans, they are also extraordinary types.
But Luo Nie is not a lost person, so naturally he cannot be counted as a careless person and a person with super powers.
The powerful existence outside the two major hostile forces in the Wasteland Era is not within the scope of Hit's understanding. Although he is also learning as much extraordinary and magical knowledge as possible from Rosen, there is always something beyond human cognition.
external existence.
"Yes, but I compensated them after the auction in the afternoon. Moreover, I am the product of the Lord of Machinery." Luo Nie directly reported his identity.
His inadvertent "spirit formation" detection of the magic source power told him that there was no so-called "sorrow" around Hit as suggested by any false god.
Instead, a fiery red light like the sun shone faintly between his eyebrows.
Luo Nie can read warmth, kindness, and human sympathy.
Is this an emotion in the positive direction? Perhaps my ability to detect the "spiritual formation" of the magic source has been improved? Or is it that I have gradually sensed the "wisdom" and "inspiration" sequence core as I get closer and closer to the Silent Highlands?
In this way, even if he does not possess the "red magic source power" that opens the realm of the gods in the Silent Highlands, but only possesses a coat of arms related to it, naturally he will not know those "red magic power" that may be related to the old Crusted Empire.
"The Song of Confusion", but he may be able to reach the gods by virtue of his hundreds of years of contact with humans and his identity as a product of the Lord of Machines.
Touch the "Daughter of Mechanical Element"!
Maybe they are both products of the Machine Master!
The hallucination he saw at dusk when the magic source power surged in the Mechanical Element Factory suddenly appeared in his mind!
That mechanical arm, white body, blue hair, and the two words "Highland, ruins"!
Until Hit's rough voice interrupted his brief thoughts!
"Forget it, forget it!" Hit waved his hand and shook his brain vigorously, trying to free himself from the complicated knowledge of extraordinary things:
"You can do anything for... gods. But I am the same as you, Rosen." Hit turned his head and glanced at Rosen, and said:
"For the sake of virtue, my good brother. In order to enter the holy city of Sokra, I joined the imperial army from Oyi Town. I traveled to Bribulis City, Wuqi City, Kusha City and the Eastern District desert with Wuxin people.
Combat. After entering Sokra, I was unfamiliar with the place. If he hadn’t helped me overtly and covertly through his father, who is a senior general of the Guards, I’m afraid I would have died at the hands of the Sokra Committee.”
"Is this the... person mentioned in Natasha's diary?" Luo Nie asked slightly out of place.
"Forget it, let's not mention this. Anyway," Hit sniffed and barely suppressed his sadness and said:
"I know that these things have nothing to do with the man named Wright, and Aaron seems to be dead. Even if I take revenge, I can't go after these Tenin sect children." Hit looked around at these semi-lost children with clear eyes and said:
"My enemy may be the Church of Hope, but it should be the Socratic Committee itself. So I resigned, and now I am going to the Silent Heights to see the god you talk about with my own eyes. It would be better if I could see Wright."
"Uncle Hit, have you decided to follow us now?" Rosen asked, picking up the metal bench and sitting next to Hit.
Hit nodded vigorously and said:
"Leave here tomorrow. I have enough new coins and purchased supplies. My 'Bear' chariot is enough to guard against any unintentional attacks. After taking you safely through the Green Forest to the Silent Highlands, I will
I will carry out my own mission. Maybe it will be the last mission."
…
The morning sun shines unreservedly on the semi-cylindrical white stone pillars of the Explorers Association, which resemble the ancient arena of the ancient central empire, making it look extremely bright and shining.
Luo Nie woke up from the blood-red dream all night, followed the mechanical biological clock that he had adhered to for nearly forty years, and stretched like a real human being.
He opened the cuffs of his linen shirt, untied the gauze that was stained with scarlet blood and dots of black dirt from his arms, and observed that the surface had been completely restored by the combined action of the magic source power and the mechanical master's small part of the god's power.
After his skin was as good as ever, he threw the gauze into the iron trash can and looked down at the time on his watch.
8:58 is the best time to leave Sunida.
Following the familiar rhythm of life, Luo Nie took out a green jar from his blue travel backpack, took some water from the rusty tap pipe on the side, and began to rinse his mouth.
"Luo Nie? Pack your things. Later I will take you to register with the association above and join our team. As long as you have the identity of an explorer and a team, it will be very beneficial for you no matter where you go in the future."
The sound reached Luo Nie's ears.
"Okay, brother." Luo Nie tilted her head and replied.
After putting on the robe, cotton coat and black cotton trousers, Luo Nie opened the dark red medical box and backpack to check the items.
"MB-1499 Clason's mask, more than 80 SGD left, regular medicine tweezers, some wine and gauze. There are also the resident certificates of me and Say. Well, no problem."
After barely stuffing the dark red medical box into his backpack, Luo Nie picked up the "BK-57" pistol from next to the wire bed.
After briefly testing whether the parts were normal, Luo Nie loaded all the brass bullets into the magazine, and after checking that all parts of the firearm were intact, he put the rifle into the dark yellow holster around his waist and sat down.
Arriving at Hit's side.
"Wait a minute, in addition to the regular food and some new Ducats, my belongings also include my precious rifle. The Sai you brought last night and the Rosen I know must have been talking all night. Fortunately, you
Sleep with me in Room 59. Otherwise, it will disturb their reunion." Hit chatted with a kind smile.
"Yes. There are so many children. Their sister Natasha is dead and they are relatives to each other now. However, it may not be easy to send them all to Silent Heights. I can feel that, except for Rosen,
, the others are only slightly stronger than the Wuxin people, if they meet the ordinary soldiers of the empire, they will definitely suffer." Luo Nie sighed and said.
"If the empire can regain the Silent Highlands, the railway line can be opened to traffic, and these children can reach there in one day. But after the Silent Highlands are recovered, they have no need to go there, they can only take one step at a time. But I tell you,
And I am still confident in my own strength. At least five hundred unintentional people fell into my hands." Hit stretched out his hand and made a five sign.
"My master Bude should have arrived near the Green Forest. If we can meet him, we may be able to use his mechanical vehicle to cross the nearby Gobi and deserts without taking the road built in the Steam Age at the end of the forest.
Maybe we can arrive faster. I think if one of these children fell in front of me, I might be instantly swallowed up by 'Shang' and fall into madness." Luo Nie said in a deep voice.
"No, let's go up and register. By the way, the name of our team is 'Team Silence'. I don't mind using such a dangerous name. I think you won't mind either." Hit said "Su
He held the Gra-A01 rifle in his hand and smiled.
…
Walking towards the ground along the dim elevators and passages illuminated by faint gas lights, Luo Nie felt the warmth and comfort that she had not seen for a long time.
He longs to be immersed in the light for eternity.
Walking along the back garden toward the floor tiles engraved with sunflower patterns, Ronie followed Hit's guidance and walked to the counter on the right side of the empty hall under the "Sun Scarlet Star" badge.
Following Hit's previous prompt, Luo Nie handed the resident certificate with his and Sai's names to the woman at the front desk, who had a plump figure and heavy makeup, but there was a sinister air from the aura on her face.
"Ronie and Sai, from the Empire of Socra, applied to join the 'Silence Team' of the Sunida Explorers Association, right? Captain Hit personally invited them, right?" the woman at the front desk of the Explorers Association asked, subconsciously
I sorted out the military green clothes that were modeled after the uniforms of the Zine Empire army.
"Yes, that's right." Luo Nie nodded.
There was a rapid friction sound between pencil and paper. After handing the two resident certificates back to Luo Nie, the woman said seriously:
"Okay, the registration has been successful. But here I need to remind you that according to the current Empire's "Exploration Act", information about team changes will be sent via telegram to the associations in Zhnetsk and the capital Sogra for synchronization information. At the same time, the destination is
Any team in the Silent Highlands will by default participate in the battle called 'The Coming of Silence' that the Empire is expected to launch in mid-April. If you encounter the Imperial Legion near the battlefield, please be sure to obey orders, otherwise the Imperial soldiers will attack you.
"
"No problem!" Luo Nie agreed.
…
Taking Sai with him, Luo Nie briefly separated from Hit and Rosen. Walking on the clean cement road, Luo Nie walked to a small mechanical repair station in a remote suburb to retrieve the brand new classic car.
Accompanied by the roar of mechanical cars and the loud bells ringing in the Sunida church in the early morning, Luonie and Sayi finally arrived at the blue and white metal signs standing beside the road in Sunida town.
After parking the car, Luo Nie opened the cab door and stepped onto the asphalt road surface that was no longer so cold.
"Are you ready?"
Seeing Ronie, Hitt had a smile on his face, as if their trip was not heading to a silent highland that would be filled with killings and wars, but rather a journey.
He looked at Hit in front of him. He was still wearing the military green uniform of the Zine Empire. He had a pair of silver-white goggles on top of the brown mask. He still carried the "Sogra A-01 Rifle" on his back.
The khaki military combat boots under his feet and a dagger in a black sheath on his waist are particularly eye-catching.
However, the attire is quite neat, except that the badge on the chest has been changed from the military badge of "Machine Gun" to the Explorer Association badge of "Sun Crimson Star".
"It's all here, and I temporarily purchased some food. Black bread, canned food, greenhouse fruits, etc. I don't know if there is food suitable for us in the army in the Silent Highlands or in the lost stronghold. Anyway, there are unintentional people everywhere now.
, it is a test and very difficult to return or go further." Luo Nian opened his eyes slightly and shrugged.
Hit didn't care about Luo Nie's attitude. He walked quickly to the side of the "Bear" tank with an earthy yellow style and the upper part wrapped in barbed wire that looked like a brown bear lying on the ground. He opened the trunk.
location, said:
"We also prepared canned food. In addition, there are a bunch of military tents, as well as several rifles and a howitzer. Rosen told me that the Lost One named Yato taught them how to use firearms. Wait, if you are in Green
If we encounter unintentional people or other explorer teams with evil intentions in the forest, the advantage in the battle must be on our side. But," Hit shouted:
"The most important thing to be careful about in the forest is the wandering forest wolf, and there are many strange and highly poisonous plants. It will be bad if you are poisoned. Okay, Luo Nie, you and Sai can get in the classic car. I and the other five lost
Or the children can take my car. It takes 25 minutes to drive along the Sunida New Highway to the Green Forest, and there will still be a lot of dirt roads to walk."
"Okay." Luo Nie replied.
Accompanied by the roar of the two machines across the slightly silent highway in the early morning, along the asphalt road with flying dust and shining light, Luo Nie seemed to hear the "clicking" sound of the mechanical gears.
It seems that I can see the yellow sand of the highlands shrouded in crimson, as well as the sacred ruins covered with bright red alluring blood and the gorgeous and fantastic realm of gods.
