But it seems to reflect the bright moon and stars that can never be seen in the kingdom of eternal night.
Jiang Menghan was at the moment when he was filling up his bow string like a half-moon between the lunar calendar.
Let go gently.
In an instant, a huge pure white beam penetrated the entire sewer.
Shelly directly covered her eyes.
Under the eternal night, she had not seen such a bright light for a long time.
perhaps.
That is the moonlight that has never appeared in the kingdom of eternal night.
Under the 'sacred' and 'tearing' effects attached to Artemis' lineage.
The last batch of infected people accumulated in this area in the sewer pipes were also completely eliminated.
The roads are cleared.
Shelly entered the password on the rusty operating table next to the sewer every once in a while to reopen and close the steel gate.
The steam engine roars.
Accompanied by the clanging sound of gears and huge chains.
Su Wen finally arrived at what can be said to be the largest shelter in the entire Signo Province.
————————————————————————————————
After returning to the shelter.
Shelly completed the report, and then placed the steel helmet on her own to rest in a small tent.
At the same time, she finally couldn't help but shed tears that were burdened but unable to vent.
before meeting them.
Everything that happened at the port of return became Shelly's painful memory.
Even now.
She didn't know how to face that memory.
Not long ago, a disaster named "Black Tide" by the church teacher broke out.
Shelly witnessed her uncle being bitten on the arm by an infected person.
And within four hours, he became a monster that could only roar and attack other monsters.
That kind of fear.
She can't understand it until now.
Why can human beings be so easily transformed into such strange shapes by disasters?
And this is just the beginning. People have to face a more cruel reality:
Those monsters cannot be easily killed with human weapons. Unless they are completely minced or melted by high temperature, even if there is only a ball of rotten flesh left, they can still squirm towards the living beings they 'desire'.
Even so, the survivors still face the torture of hunger and thirst every day, and have to venture out in search of food and water.
Every time they set out, they are accompanied by anxiety and fear, because they don't know what dangers and difficulties they will face.
even.
It is extremely possible that you will never come back.
In this shelter, people's life has become extremely difficult. They have to face poor sanitary conditions and extreme overcrowding, making survival even more difficult.
Every day, new wounded and sick people appear, making them feel powerless and hopeless.
Only the roaring steam engine and the sound of the old blacksmith banging on the forge and raising the fire next to the furnace made her feel at ease a little.
but now.
Finally someone came to save them.
Shelly couldn't help but sob quietly.
She wiped her tears with the faded gray towel hanging on the wall that had been washed many times.
She could finally cry.
The girl lowered her head and thought of those who would never come back.
Three minutes passed.
When she raised her head again, she found Rendell standing at the door of her temporary residence, a small and dilapidated tent.
Shelly quickly sniffed to prevent her weakness from being exposed too much:
"I'm sorry, sir.
I just can’t hold it back."
Hear her say that.
Instead, Rendell handed her a brand new handkerchief, which was one of the daily necessities she brought from the Starfall ocean transport ship and put in her backpack:
"You don't have to be sorry.
I won't say too many words to comfort you.
But Shelly.
You have the right to cry.
No one can stay strong forever, you or "they" should have the right to express your emotions when you are sad or scared.
I don’t have to carry so much anymore.”
Her words were calm.
But it seems that there is a hint of reflection of my own past.
Compared to when Lendl observed his surroundings through his professional habits of sentinel.
Based on the information given by Shelly, Su Wen walked straight to the depths of the sewer inside the steel gate under the timid but numb eyes of the survivors.
It was a room that was supposed to be the sewer workers' restroom.
It has now been cleaned up, and there are several tables and iron-framed double beds piled inside.
In the roar of steam engines.
The handsome detective looked at the gray-haired man sitting in the middle of the table:
"Viscount Kevins of Port Home.
I don't care if you still want to control what little power you have.
But after my companion ‘cleaned’ the sewer just now.
You should understand: I am here to seek cooperation.
And your next answer will determine the future of this harbor and you.
Think clearly.
Then give me an answer."
His words were calm, but there was a hint of rational deterrence.
As a scholar.
To a certain extent, he doesn't care about or respect these so-called 'people in power' under the old order.
What makes him awe:
Only [knowledge]
What's more, the handsome detective knows very well what incompatible rights will breed in the social system he has seen in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
Compared to the royal capital that abandoned these survivors.
He has maintained corresponding respect.
And after listening to what he said.
Viscount Kevins stood up and sighed:
“The greatest regret in life is to give up what you shouldn’t give up and persist in what you shouldn’t.
Mr. Rhine.
I fully accept the conditions you proposed.
Please save this place."
Hear him say that.
Su Wencai finally nodded calmly. Even if it was for Jiang Menghan, this was something he had to confirm.
Immediately afterwards.
The handsome gentleman did not engage in too many pleasantries. He raised the question that mattered most to him:
"Eternal night.
What is the cause that he represents?”
I heard Su Wen raise a question, which turned out to be a natural phenomenon that has little to do with disasters.
Viscount Kevins fell into deep thought:
"Are you castaways too?"
"maybe.
You can understand it this way.
After all, that is the reason why the Kingdom of Eternal Night was born.”
Hear his answer.
The gray-haired Viscount, who was in his fifties, smiled:
"In the education of the nobility, a small part of the 'sealed history' will be passed down orally.
But in the face of such a disaster.
The so-called history sealed by the royal capital is just useless knowledge.
Just like [Eternal Night].
I actually know very little about Him.
after all.
Even I have spent all fifty-three years of my life in such an environment.
According to my grandfather:
He is a "curtain" covering the sky.
And outside the curtain, stars twinkled.
And more information may be recorded in the document room at the Port of Return. I heard Shelly say that you want to go there with her to look for information."
"Do you have a concept of stars?"
"Every three months is a celebration when we are lucky enough to see the stars."
Clearer?
Su Wen quickly mapped it into his own memory of the Lost Sea.
