After a full ten seconds of slowing down, Todman came back to his senses. He hurriedly ran out to chase after him, but the armored monster was nowhere to be seen.
After returning to the command room alone, Todman was about to tell the parliament what happened, but he hesitated after picking up the communicator and instead contacted his old boss first.
It took a few seconds for the communication to be connected. Carruth also heard the sound of the door closing on the other end. Who was the other party seeing?
Without saying much, Todman gave a brief greeting and received the order. From the time when Kallus was taken away, to the time when the armored monster appeared, he told Aleg everything that happened and wanted to ask his old boss for his opinion.
Aleg's voice was as calm as Todman remembered: "The Parliament has basically given up on chasing the armored weirdo. Don't think too much about it and cause trouble to yourself. If you should report it, you can do whatever they ask you to do."
What, don’t do anything else that you don’t need to worry about. Let those guys worry about the troublesome things.”
This answer that said a lot but seemed to say nothing made Todman think that Alleg was still angry because the council gave up the pursuit of the armored monster, so he didn't want to get involved in anything. He could only give a wry smile to show that he understood.
In fact, he also felt in his heart that there was no point in continuing to waste time with the armored weirdo. He couldn't catch him anyway. If the armored weirdo said that he wanted to join the World Parliament, I'm afraid they would agree. After all, there are ready-made examples in the parliament...
After asking again about the chief's current situation, Todman ended the contact. He also wanted to report the situation to the parliament.
On the other hand, after Aleg hung up the phone, his expression was not as relaxed as in the communication. He made a decision in his heart that he should speed up the progress. Then he turned and walked into the next room, looking at the person sitting in front of him with a serious expression.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Jix, let's continue talking."
...
While the World Council received news about the appearance of the armored monster from Todman, Apocalypse's hideout, Kevin and Mary also learned relevant information from Bios.
"Are you sure? It's really him?"
Bios scratched the wig on his forehead that made him feel uncomfortable, and said in an exaggerated and playful tone: "You wouldn't think that I ran out of a semi-blocked town and came to such desolate mountains just to follow you.
Are you kidding me? Although I really hate your stinky face, I have to tell you that my information is absolutely true!"
Bios emphasized the accuracy of his information every word.
Because of the discovery of Bangsels, Bios's assessment task has been completed and he has become a formal member of Tianqi. Thinking about the benefits he was promised when he first joined Tianqi, Bios is now a little inflated.
Kevin was too lazy to deal with this clown, he was thinking about more important things.
Bonsells had just been kidnapped, and the armored monster immediately appeared in Desperate Town. This is completely consistent with Kevin's previous conjecture. Is there really any connection between the armored monster and the Bonsells family?
If that's the case, maybe this can be a breakthrough to get in touch with the armored monster.
...
After leaving the base of the World Parliament, Renn did not run too far. After leaving the town, he put away the Allenville armor and walked along the periphery of the Extremis Grassland while communicating with Oates.
"So there won't be any danger for the time being, right?"
Lane knew nothing about these things and relied entirely on Oates.
The latter was standing next to him in the form of a ghost. He nodded after hearing this, and then shook his head as if sighing: "If nothing else happens, this mist-like barrier can still function normally even if it is attacked by those insects for hundreds of years.
, it’s hard to imagine how much manpower, material and financial resources they spent to build it. For a mere mortal, even I have to praise this great masterpiece."
Although Oz seemed to be praising him, Renn could hear the reluctance in his tone. The powerful Carmonk was almost able to defeat those bugs and only needed a little help. Unfortunately...
Renn also shook his head: "It's just a bit wasteful."
Indeed, this barrier is worthy of being called a masterpiece - it would be better if the range was smaller and did not include Carmonk.
The two ghosts had a tacit understanding and stopped talking about these old memories. They continued to walk along the perimeter, and walked for more than half an hour before stopping. It was more than two hours away from the town, and it was a hilly area.
's lowlands.
Renn stopped here to rest for a while and prepared to return.
He and Oates just came to inspect the barrier of the Impasse Grassland today, and the result was reassuring but sad. It should be said that the more reassuring the more sad it was.
If nothing unexpected happens, the insect plague within the barrier will not harm the outside world for the time being.
If nothing else...
As a businessman, Bonsells felt that Impasse Meadows would be a good tourist attraction.
The prairie is blue sky and white clouds, peaceful and peaceful without any danger.
The premise is that no one gets lost.
After wandering around inside for a few times with his head covered, Bonsells was completely discouraged and found a place to set up camp. As a rich man, he had a lot of life-saving things on him, and those who were kidnapped did not
Completely searched out. In view of the experience of "the sky is like a bed and the sky is like a bed," when he came in last time, he even carried something like a shrinkable travel cabin with him later.
The days are quite comfortable.
Sitting in the room reading a book and drinking coffee like this was something he never dared to think about last time. But after calming down, he couldn't help but think about how to escape, and then thought about the armored weirdo who saved him last time.
"At that time, he said he came to save me because of Lailin's baby daughter, huh~"
Bonsells put the book and coffee aside and rubbed his chin. The more he thought about this sentence, the more wrong he felt.
He didn't know the armored weirdo at the time. After he went out, he mentioned it to Lailin, but his daughter completely denied it. In addition, he had been missing for several months and had a lot of family matters waiting for him to deal with, so he gradually forgot about it. Even if he thought about it occasionally, he would still remember it.
I didn't take it too seriously. The more I got to know the armored weirdo, the more I realized that he was an unreliable person. His words were completely out of tune, and normal people couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
But now, maybe because of the different situation, he has arrived at the desperate grassland again and is facing the crisis of being trapped. At this time, thinking about what the armored weirdo said at the beginning, Boncells couldn't help but have this idea in his mind: Maybe the armored weirdo will do it again this time.
Come to save him?
While he was thinking about the possible connection between the armored monster and their family, when he went to pick up the coffee on the table, Boncells suddenly saw ripples in the coffee in the cup out of the corner of his eye.
He couldn't help but focus his gaze.
"..."
As if in response to his gaze, the surface of the coffee rippled again. This time, before the previous ripples subsided, a larger shaking occurred. Only with the naked eye, you can notice that the coffee cup shook invisibly.
This situation can only mean that the ground, or his portable cabin, is shaking.
Bangsells did not dare to hesitate and ran out of the house quickly. Feeling the increasingly stronger vibrations on the ground, he suspected that something huge was approaching.
After looking around and around to the back of the hut, he finally saw a slowly moving white dot at the end of the horizon as far as he could see.
The distance was too far, and there was no reference point on the grassland, so it was impossible to judge the size of the white spot, but just because it was so far away it could cause the ground to vibrate, so it must be a huge thing.
