The communicator issued by Tris looks like a walkie-talkie, with a small screen on it, green, and composed of rings of thin lines. This communicator is mainly used for communication between teams within the projection, but the distance is
The further away, the greater the interference.
Cheng Lin didn't have high expectations after saying this, but after about two seconds, he received a response:
"Where are you? Send me the coordinates."
Song Xianzhen's voice came out of the communicator's speaker, and there were battle roars in the background.
"Give me your coordinates and I'll come over." Cheng Lin replied.
Song Xianzhen didn't talk nonsense. The next second, a flickering light spot appeared on the green screen. Cheng Lin identified the direction and measured the distance according to the ruler.
Serendipity is not far away.
He had originally planned to contact He Shu after the other party was too far away and was inconvenient.
This time it was much easier, and he immediately drove towards the other party's location.
Along the way, she comforted the soldiers and occasionally flew on Cao Wei. Although the little girl was not happy, she still did not act willful when she saw Cheng Lin's downcast face.
When they finally arrived at the target location, they saw the people of the Second Division resting in place. A large area of the surrounding city was almost cleared. The streets were filled with mechanical corpses. Six-core puppets stood on the streets with long guns and piled up around them.
Full of corpses.
Song Xianzhen was cleaning up, but when he saw them coming, he immediately stopped what he was doing, walked over, and looked Cheng Lin up and down, feeling a little surprised.
When he thought about it, since Cheng Lin wanted to "ask for help", he should be in poor condition, but judging from his appearance, that was not the case.
"Have you decided to form a team with us?" he asked with a smile on his face.
Cheng Lin shook his head slightly, got straight to the point, and briefly described the matter.
Song Xianzhen was shocked to hear that they had jointly killed two members of the eup. Even the deputy chief of the Second Division next to him and several other fellow travelers also cast surprised glances.
They haven't gained much yet.
When Cheng Lin faced everyone's attention, his expression did not change much:
"Although I don't know why Deward wants to capture Cao Wei, I think we still need to be vigilant, so I want her to team up with you."
Is that so... Song Xianzhen turned his head and glanced at Cao Wei, then raised his chin high, and said helplessly:
"Of course there's no problem with that. We want it."
After a pause, he pointed to the six-core puppet behind him with some pride:
"With us here, you don't have to worry even if Byron comes."
"As long as you say so," Cheng Lin nodded and pushed the reluctant Cao Wei over. He looked like a parent sending his sister to school. "Then Xiaocao will be left to you, and I will leave.
."
"You won't stay?" Song Xianzhen was stunned for a moment.
Cheng Lin adjusted his collar, just as the breeze was blowing through the city. His dark, slightly messy hair was fluttering, and smile lines appeared in the corners of his eyes: "I'm still used to acting alone."
"……Oh well……"
Song Xianzhen said nothing and watched Cheng Lin turn around and walk back. He did not drive, but walked further and further away through the ruins of the city.
The monks were busy cleaning up the battlefield, and Song Xianzhen stood quietly. Cao Wei reluctantly turned into the background and gradually faded away.
No one could see the cold smile on Cheng Lin's face under his messy black hair behind his slightly thin back.
"Deward...Byron...hehe, it seems that you still haven't figured out whose home field this is..."
…
…
Fertile soil, Greater Europe.
Under Nuwa's transformation, the prosperity of the past has dispersed like smoke in a dream.
In a team from the European Alliance of Practitioners, Derward, who was wearing a wizard's robe and walking slowly among the ruins, suddenly shuddered, his body shrank, and he subconsciously wrapped himself in the robe to hide it even more.
"Deward, it seems that you are not adapted to the climate here."
The teasing sounds slowly sounded, and Derward looked back with a sullen face, and saw a knight.
The opponent is no longer dressed in the shirt and trousers that first appeared in the projection, but is wearing a set of armor with a retro style and rich carvings, as if he came from the Middle Ages, including breastplate, leggings, wrist guards, alloy boots, helmet, long sword...
This set of equipment seems more like it should appear in a museum. However, only by looking carefully can you figure out that this is armor made of the latest psionic technology.
It is similar to Xia Guoyi's "Alloy Armor" in effectiveness, but its appearance is very different.
"Of course I'm not as cold-resistant as you mummies hiding in tin cans."
Derward sarcastically said, and looked up at the dark clouds over the city and the cold wind passing through the city. The temperature seemed to have dropped a lot, as if it had transitioned from midsummer to late autumn.
"Your curse words are always so unique. I hope your staff can be as dexterous as your mouth during battle."
The fellow knight said sarcastically.
Eup is somewhat different from Tris. Their division is simpler and more crude. One group is mages and the other is knights. The former is mainly elemental, while the latter relies more on physical strength.
"Okay, stop arguing, it's time to report the time."
Another knight in the team came over and pulled them apart.
Hearing this, the people in the team stopped one after another, took out a round iron box with buttons, and began to enter specific numbers.
This is eup's communication device. It cannot transmit sound. You can only input a specific number string by tapping to transmit some basic signals. It lags behind Xia Guo in terms of technological content, but it also has advantages, such as the signal is stronger.
Stable and long coverage distance.
According to the rules set by eup leader Byron, everyone needs to "report their location" every once in a while to confirm their survival and location.
"Dip...dip..."
After entering his number as usual, Derward saw digital light spots lighting up one after another on the screen on the surface of the iron box in his hand:
"Hey, why didn't Kenny and Carl's team respond?"
"What's weird about this? Maybe they are fighting someone, or they are being chased by mechanical monsters... Who knows, wait five minutes, and if there is no response, Lord Byron will take the initiative to contact them."
One person said nonchalantly.
After a pause, he smiled and said: "Of course, there may be another possibility, maybe they were slaughtered."
As a loose alliance of various countries in Europe, the relationship between eup members is not very good, and there are conflicts between different countries. Obviously, this knight does not have a good impression of those two people.
"Maybe……"
Derward muttered something low, put away the communication box, then raised his head and frowned.
I saw a mechanical eagle hovering in the dark sky, as if it was peeping at the earth and at them.
…
…
Away from the team of the Second Division, Cheng Lin climbed up to a ten-story building. With the help of vines, he quickly reached the top of the building. Standing here, he could overlook a large area of the city, but it was still difficult to see the end of the fertile soil.
He wasn't even sure which district he was currently in.
"Hulala..."
The wind on the top of the building was stronger, making the black windbreaker on his body rustle. Just then he returned to the spirit world, took off his clothes, and put on the prepared suit without labels.
Martin boots, dark gray narrow-mouth trousers, a belt, a white shirt, and a windbreaker. He slowly put on gloves with both hands, adjusted his hat, and made sure the "mask" on his face was tight.
He even used "body control" to slightly adjust his bones... and his figure. This time, unless he was an extremely familiar person, he would never be recognized.
Staring at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, standing in the cold wind, Cheng Lin held up the "central crystal ball" in his right hand, in which the image of a fertile city was slowly rotating.
"Unfortunately, the fertile soil is too big, and it is too laborious to use crystal balls to investigate human beings... Nuwa has an innate advantage in computing in this regard. When it comes to processing data, she is naturally very handy as a computer... Even if I have a mechanical heart
, it is also impossible to obtain the location of eup personnel in all aspects... In this case, we can only think of some other methods."
Cheng Lin thought silently, flicking the crystal ball with his right hand, and the dark clouds in the sky rolled more violently.
The temperature is also dropping rapidly, and gradually, there are some fine snow particles dancing faintly between the sky and the earth.
Just like his mood at the moment.
"What method should be used..."
Cheng Lin stood on the roof of the building, tapping the cement fence alternately with the index finger and middle finger of his right hand wearing a black leather glove. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
Then, a crow jumped out of his sight.
Metal crow.
It stood quietly on a balcony of a nearby tall building, motionless, just looking at him quietly and silently with its two eyes.
This scene was a little strange. It seemed that it didn't expect that its peeping would be discovered. It was stunned for two seconds, and then stiffly and pretending to be natural, it turned away its head, and even stretched its wings, trying to fly away.
"Huh……"
Cheng Lin blinked his eyes and extended a command to seize control of the crow. It went smoothly. Immediately, he controlled the huge ugly bird to fly over and land on his outstretched arm.
Afterwards, he chuckled at it and moved his lips:
"I think I have a solution."
…
A moment later, a cold whirlwind swept through the streets and alleys of the dilapidated city, and also swept over the rooftop, but there was no trace of anyone here.
"Quack..."
A huge crow made an unpleasant, difficult cry, flapped its wings dully, climbed high into the sky, and began to fly across the huge city...
But if you look carefully, you will find that one of its paws is tightly holding a delicate glass bottle that can be held in the palm of the hand.
This is a bottle of ordinary healing potion.
At this moment, in the green vial, the transparent liquid is rolling back and forth, stirring up layers of foam, like colorless blood, or like the finely divided, hard snow gradually falling from the dark clouds.
grain.
…
A cold wind blows.
Cao Wei reluctantly sat in the back seat of the eight-legged car, glanced at Song Xianzhen who was driving, curled her lips, and then suddenly felt a chill on her forehead and between her brows.
When I touched it with my hand, I saw a snow particle that was slowly melting.
