"You're welcome. I have prepared hot water for you. You can take a bath before eating."
"Huh?" Why take a bath at noon? Lin Sen was a little strange, but Midnight quickly gave an explanation.
"According to my deduction, your next safe operation time will be from 1 to 3 a.m. on January 9, 104 Era, so you need to adjust your work and rest time in advance."
Oh, I see.
Lin Sen stood up, cleaned up the dust, and then carefully put away the chair.
Just as he was about to go back to Midnight, Lin Sen's eyes suddenly turned red.
As the alarm sounded, Lin Sen looked back and the smile on his face disappeared.
what is that?!
When Lin Sen saw that scene for the first time, he was not only shocked, but also very difficult to understand.
Because it looks no different from an ordinary storm.
The raging wind was accompanied by lightning and thunder, destroying everything in its path.
But taking a closer look, Lin Sen discovered what was different about this storm. That was that Lin Sen could vaguely see the shadows of many people in the raging wind.
The number of these shadows is not large, but their size is astonishing. The tallest one is more than fifty meters tall by visual inspection. His slender, featureless figure moves forward with the storm like a giant in the storm.
"Brother Sen! Come in quickly!" Seeing Lin Sen still dazed outside the cabin, Chen Lan quickly called him.
Lin Sen had no choice but to temporarily put aside his curiosity and returned to Midnight with uneasiness.
"Sir, it seems that your lunch needs to be postponed. According to my simulation calculation, you will feel very bad in the next period of time."
Lin Sen laughed dryly. He put away all the external loads in Midnight, turned on the power of the core to full load and fully protected the defense.
At this time, from the outside, Midnight, who was originally like a cheetah, slowly shrank into shape, and its outstretched fangs disappeared. The entire body shrank into a piece of jet black streamlined metal. After being fixed by multiple anchors,
Midnight is ready for the coming storm.
Everything he could do had been done, and now Lin Sen could only wait.
After arranging seats and fixing himself with Chen Lan, Lin Sen began to work hard to calm down so that he could get through this torturous time.
Chen Lan was too nervous to speak. The sounds in his ears were getting louder and louder. The roar of the wind mixed with the numbing sound of metal friction continued to torture his nerves.
The data in front of me kept flashing and jumping, and the value of the att function on the periphery of midnight dropped sharply.
However, this was only caused by the edge of the storm passing by midnight.
Lin Sen's eyes were lowered. He still believed in Manny. Since she would let Midnight take Bai's place to help Lin Sen return to Cerberus, there must be a reason.
Midnight did not disappoint Lin Sen.
Even at a critical moment, it still pops up a joke that is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.
"Oh, there was a little accident... Sir, I found that I seemed to have forgotten to put the green pepper. Do you have any special requirements for food?"
Lin Sen was startled. Where is this going? Aren't you preparing to face the storm? Suddenly, when he said this, the tense atmosphere disappeared.
Chen Lan's nervousness was also interrupted. He glanced at Lin Sen, then took a long breath from his heart and opened his mask at the same time.
"Brother Sen, haven't you eaten yet?"
Lin Sen touched his stomach and frowned: "Yes, but I seem to be too hungry now. I don't even feel it anymore."
"emmmm..." Chen Lan glanced at the good data and suddenly smiled.
"Uh haha, Brother Sen is laughing. I may be a little too nervous. In fact, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, it is Miss Manny's confident work." Chen Lan stood up to comfort himself and walked into the kitchen.
, and soon the aroma spread.
"Brother Sen, let's eat first. The storm will still be around for a while anyway."
Lin Sen was still sitting there, looking at this sudden change in disbelief.
What about the promised tense atmosphere of facing a powerful enemy?
Isn’t it a bit too much to not have any left now...
Lin Sen had a lot of strange thoughts in his mind, but his behavior was very simple.
Lin Sen said softly and sat down at the dining table obediently.
This meal was indeed as bad as Midnight said.
Although the tense atmosphere had moved away from them, during the meal, the sounds outside the cabin continued continuously. Those very uncomfortable infrasound waves completely ignored the sound insulation layer and directly penetrated the eardrums of Lin Sen and Chen Lan.
Accompanied by such a beautiful voice, Lin Sen ate for more than an hour and almost vomited several times.
After eating, Lin Sen suddenly admired himself. If it was so uncomfortable, why did he insist on eating?
Is this the legendary stubbornness that comes from a foodie?
hehe……
After the meal, Lin Sen and Chen Lan experienced more than an hour of "deep dive" experience.
The entire cabin seemed to be undergoing torture from water pressure like a submarine. Not only did the infrasound waves not stop, but all the objects attached to the cabin were creaking, as if they would collapse at any time.
During this period, Chen Lan almost collapsed. He talked to Lin Sen several times as if he wanted to escape.
Fortunately, Lin Sen was calm enough, and with his comfort throughout the process, Chen Lan gave up his plan to commit suicide.
…
The storm lasted for a full seven hours!
From about one o'clock in the afternoon until late at night, the sounds outside the house finally became quiet.
However, the relatively weak wind still lingered outside the cabin. Faced with this continuous mental interference, Midnight decided to activate the silent device to create an extremely quiet environment.
Because the result of its logical calculation is that for the sake of Lin Sen and Chen Lan's health, they must take a good rest.
Lin Sen and the two were indeed exhausted.
Especially Lin Sen, for the first time he found that being tortured by the sound for so long was actually more difficult than overusing his body.
Even if all the sounds disappeared later, the auditory hallucinations still existed in my mind.
Forget it... let's get some sleep first.
Lin Sen didn't want to go on like this anymore. He had to have a good rest. After all, he had to take action early in the morning...
Fortunately, Lin Sen's sleep quality has always been good. With speculation about the aftermath of the debate, Lin Sen closed his eyes...
…
After seeing off the bright sunshine of the day, Cerberus at night was left with only darkness amidst the electric light.
Groups of shapes of different sizes wandered around this once extremely glorious dome, and the fallen axis mast was surrounded by pieces of strange lightning. They were like conscious snakes entangled in the axis mast.
above, surrounding it, gradually transforming into thick black ink, and then gradually disappearing into deeper darkness.
…
On the second night after returning to Cerberus, Chen Lan fell into a deep sleep after being extremely exhausted.
After his breathing gradually became evener, Chen Lan returned to his home in his dream, the yard that was always shrouded in the dim sunlight.
His father is busy preparing the things he needs for his coming-of-age ceremony.
Among them is an exquisite dagger.
"This is a process that every Cuidisi man has to go through! Especially now!" When the dagger was handed over to Chen Lan, he realized how heavy it was, and even his initial curiosity and envy disappeared.
, all that is left is fear and trembling.
The father felt the child's hesitation. He took Chen Lan's hand and asked him to hold the dagger tightly.
"Don't be afraid! Son, go and prove it to them!"
Chen Lan knew he couldn't hide, he had to do it.
…
After carrying the dagger out of the door, Chen Lan followed the others and walked towards the door.
Kui, wearing a hood, stood outside the door to greet these young people who were about to make a major decision in their lives...
Life or death...all depends on courage and luck...
…
However……
"Please! Don't talk about him! Give my child another chance! Please!"
The mother cried so miserably that Chen Lan, who was standing not far away, could hardly hold the dagger steady.
Why do this? Why does it have to be this way? Are the people of Tridis doomed if they don't accept evolution?
From all the books Chen Lan has read, he has never seen a time when human beings were so enthusiastic about evolution as the people of Cuidisi today, even at the cost of death.
Therefore, Chen Lan hesitated. He began to retreat and began to think about escaping.
…
"Wait! I can save him!"
Who?! Chen Lan's fear was interrupted. He was freed from his confused and confused thoughts. He saw a stranger, a person who dared to stand up and deny this meaningless evolution for the first time.
Chen Lan seemed to see hope, and he even wanted to stand up like him and say that I could save him.
But he didn't have the courage and everything he had accepted since childhood told him that it was wrong.
Evolution is the future of Cuidisi...
No evolution…
Tridis is doomed...
…
Countless thoughts lingered in his mind, and a beautiful dream gradually turned into a cage of memories. Chen Lan, who was tortured by nightmares, suddenly found that everyone around him was gone.
There is nothing in his world, no sound, no time...
In the end, he couldn't see or hear anything... and started struggling as if he was drowning in water.
…
suddenly……
"Chen Lan!"
A familiar voice broke into this empty world.
In a daze, Chen Lan heard a very, very small voice.
But he couldn't tell where the sound came from or who it belonged to, and his deep emotions resented this kind of interruption. He wanted to continue sleeping instead of waking up.
But the voice appeared again.
"Wake up! Chen Lan!"
This time it wasn't just the sound, Chen Lan felt someone slapped him on the face, and the hand didn't leave. It continued to press down until Chen Lan felt the pain, and then suddenly left again.
