MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 102 Leon
The remaining 150 kilometers were surprisingly difficult.
The rain had been light for a few hours, and then it was so fierce that people couldn't see anything. Shi Yuan lost the joy of looking at the scenery and could only stay in the room or the command room.
The school of fish still followed them.
Everyone spent a lot of energy to be on guard.
Faster than the schools of fish, however, are other problems.
It happened when they were only 40 kilometers away from Leon.
In the thunderstorm, a large group of monsters passed by, and they couldn't see their appearance clearly, only their mountain-like figures were looming, wagging their tails, wandering, and making deafening roars, they rolled and created huge waves in the clouds. A huge beast arched its black back, and the mist fell from it like waves.
The infection detector was beeping desperately.
When the herd got closest, it almost touched the aircraft. Shi Yuan tilted his head, and saw their scales by the window, each piece was wet by the rain, with a metallic color.
Normally, monsters would not dare to get so close to Shiyuan, and the aircraft itself has camouflage.
I don't know if it is because of the Mole Man, there are more people, and the temptation to them is greater; or the abyss is extremely restless, making them eager to find food and infect.
"Don't get any closer." Shi Yuan said, "Otherwise you will die."
Perhaps his deterrence had worked.
The herd eventually passed by.
One day later, in the early morning, when Shi Yuan just woke up, Lu Tinghan was no longer by his pillow. He got out of bed in a daze, wanting to see what was going on, the corridor was brightly lit, and everyone stood in front of the huge porthole, silent.
"What's wrong?" Shi Yuan asked.
"Shi Yuan, come here." Lu Tinghan said so.
Shi Yuan walked over and saw the city under the rain.
The endless city walls, endless streets, and faded steeple churches. In the far distance, half of the palace is in ruins and half is standing tall. The magnificent vaults have supported tens of thousands of tons of rainwater and black sky. Looking from a distance, only the outline can be seen, like a beast that does not want to die.
He also saw the lion banner of the Empire.
It was a combination of red, white and gold, and the flag was limp and no longer fluttering.
Leon arrived.
Di Wen whispered: "This is the outer city."
Lu Tinghan: "Going to the palace?"
"That's not the real palace." Di Wen smiled hoarsely. "The real palace is underground. It looks like it's on the ground—of course, it cost money and effort." She pointed to the depths of the city, "The road to The underground entrance is in the inner city, and we have to fly a little further."
Adjutant Ning hesitated and said, "It doesn't look like there are people living here."
Di Wen: "If General Lister is still there, they must be underground." She took a deep breath, "Let's go...to meet him."
The situation in the city is unclear, and the aircraft passed by very slowly. Through the porthole, Shi Yuan saw many robots lying on the street and leaning against the wall. They were fragmented, some had only half of their bodies, some had only their heads, and some had only half of their legs and gears.
"What are these?" he asked.
"War robots." Lu Tinghan replied, "It was used in the war with the alliance before, and it will be used to fight against monsters later."
"Is it useful?"
"As far as I know, they are very useful. They make up for the lack of the Imperial Air Force." Lu Tinghan said.
Di Wen also said in a low voice: "We have defended the city by relying on them...but it's all in the past tense."
There are machine wrecks everywhere, and ruins everywhere.
"What is that!" Chi Yongge's eyes suddenly lit up.
Several blue armbands hang from the rebar.
—General Liszt led the people to fight here. They did, and succeeded in retreating to Leon.
This is undoubtedly exciting news.
After 30 minutes, the aircraft entered the inner city.
The inner city and the outer city are separated by a wall and a power grid. In the past, the lights were bright and there were people standing guard all the time. If people from the outer city want to enter, they need
Licenses and strict scrutiny, everything is to ensure the safety of the royal family.
The degree of destruction in the inner city was much higher than in the outer city.
There have probably been several bad fights.
There are ruins everywhere, Di Wen said: "The underground city is wrapped in metal, and there are several layers of defense. We can't dig it out, so we can only use the normal passage. There are several entrances, but I don't know where they can still be used. I have to go down and see. She paused, "Remember to bring your 'secret weapon' that can guarantee safety."
In fact, it is Shi Yuan.
Lu Tinghan replied: "We will bring it."
The aircraft found a flat place and landed slowly. Adjutant Ning and Douglas guarded the aircraft, while the rest went down and walked among the ruins.
Di Wen muttered as he walked, struggling to climb over the ruins, and stretched out his hands to push aside the rubble.
It was raining heavily, and no one could hear what she was talking about. When Shi Yuan got very close, he heard her say: "This is the church... the church, the Wenchel Antique Store, and the Deere District Police Station and the Empire No. 1 Middle School over there... Eh? Strange, where is the dessert shop?" , I can’t recognize it... Is the museum still there..."
The other Mole People followed her. She picked up shards of glass, picked up gravel, trying to make out signs of the past.
Devin said she was born in Dunton.
Even Shi Yuan can see that she knows this place very well, even if it is in ruins, she can recognize it. The rain was very cold, and Di Wen's figure became thinner and thinner. Shi Yuan wanted to go up and hold an umbrella for her, but she refused.
She said wearily: "Let me get in the rain for a while, at least it's the rain in my hometown."
White hair wetly stuck to her withered side face. Soon, she found an entrance leading to the ground.
That entrance was tightly blocked by the collapsed cathedral.
Lu Tinghan checked it and said, "It won't work here, we don't have a suitable excavator, it will take a long time, and there will be a lot of noise."
"Then go to the next entrance." Di Wen sighed, "It's just a bit far away."
They returned to the aircraft and headed towards the center of the inner city.
It is close to the palace on the ground, and you can see its magnificence. There are still half of the marble pillars standing, carved with gorgeous floating cloud reliefs.
Go to the surface again and walk among the ruins. There are too many gravels and rubble here, it took Di Wen a long time to climb over the hill-like ruins of the imperial palace, and with the support of Chi Yongge, he reached the top of the ruins.
Climb high and look far away, falling down all around. There is a grand square in front of the palace, but it is now dilapidated, and several mutated vines are climbing, crushing the stones under them.
A mole man suddenly said, "It's here! It's Lion Square!"
His tone was agitated.
Not only him, but the other Mole People also became agitated and whispered. Shi Yuan heard what they were saying, "King", "King Slayer", "Di Wen"...
"What happened?" Lu Tinghan asked.
The Mole Man timidly glanced at Shi Yuan beside him, and quickly became overwhelmed with excitement, and replied, "It's here! The king died here! Di Wen led us into the city and killed the tyrant!" He cheered , "The tyrant died, but the mole survived!"
The king once ordered to kill all the mole people, on the one hand to save resources, and on the other hand to prevent the spread of fear-the mole people are the biggest counterexample of the fusion agent, representing the failure of the policy and the hopelessness of the future. And the world's first mole man, Dewen, led them to survive and even killed the king.
That's why the Mole Man admires Di Wen so much.
She is their hero, a mother-like existence, and their spiritual leader.
Lu Tinghan asked again: "How did you kill him?"
"I heard from Mr. Gerald! At that time, the capital was in chaos." A younger mole man danced and gestured, "We are outside the capital city. Di Wen said that he wanted to find the king and talk to him. .Di Wen is very smart, and led us into the city through a secret passage. Unexpectedly, the city is full of monsters, and the army is busy fighting, so we took advantage of the chaos and came to Sunrise Square."
Another person answered: "It's also a coincidence! As Di Wen guessed, the king is in the square. Many of his personal guards have died, and there are not many people around him. He is evacuating to the underground city." He paused, recalling what?
Gritting his teeth, "Our relatives were executed by the king after they became the Mole Man. I—my sister died like this. She was only 7 years old at the time, and she could still talk to me..."
Another Mole Man said with a sharp smile: "This is a good opportunity for revenge. We rushed up and tore the king and his personal guards to pieces! Telling them to hunt and kill the Mole Man every day is retribution!" He turned his head again Looking at Di Wen, "Without Di Wen, we would not have survived, nor would we have been able to enter the city to find the king! Di Wen is our hero!"
The Mole Man gave a small cheer, calling "Dewin the Kingslayer!"
And Di Wen stood on the ruins.
Without saying a word, she stared at the ruins of Sunrise Square for a long time. The rain soaked her thin body, and one drop fell on her eyeball, but she didn't even notice it.
When the Mole Man's cheers were over, she whispered, "...keep looking for the entrance."
She staggered forward, and before taking a few steps, the wind direction suddenly changed—
Lu Tinghan suddenly turned his head and looked to the northwest of Dunton: "The monster is coming."
His judgment was never wrong.
The joy of the Mole Man came to an abrupt end, and a group of dark shadows appeared at the end of the city.
Herds of beasts came riding thunderstorms, and mountains surged like clouds. There are too many of them, covering the sky and the earth, coming straight to them, it is impossible to contend with them.
Shi Yuan gave a small "ah" and asked Lu Tinghan in a low voice: "Lu Tinghan, what should I do? Can I kill..."
"Wait." Lu Tinghan interrupted him abruptly, "Wait first."
The monster was approaching at a high speed, and everyone was pale. Lu Tinghan listened attentively, and said after a few seconds: "There are other voices, the voice of a machine." He paused for a while, "At your feet! Go!"
Everyone didn't understand, so they subconsciously fled down the ruins following his instructions. There were bumps and bumps along the way, just as they left the ruins of the square, the earth trembled, causing them to stagger and stagger!
Shi Yuan reluctantly hugged Lu Tinghan's waist, his feet numb from the shock.
He thought, what happened? Why are there still monsters coming out of the ground?
He soon knew the answer.
"boom-!"
With a loud noise, the ground was cracked inch by inch, the ruins were lifted from the center, and tons of sand and steel bars rushed to the surroundings!
Sunrise Square is the face of the palace. The ground is so solid that several heavy tanks can be stacked without cracks. It claims to be immune to any air raids and bombings. It is spacious and luxurious, with flags flying. Now it is so proud of its sturdiness that it is torn like a piece of paper.
The entire square was cracked, and the behemoth slowly emerged from the ground.
The shadows covered the sky, covered the city, and enveloped everyone.
Shi Yuan opened his eyes wide.
Weapon turrets, laser weapons, a full 120 meters high. The gears spin, the core surges, and the machinery is indestructible.
The Empire's proudest and most terrifying war robot - "Scorching Sun".
Shi Yuan saw a scrapped "Scorching Sun" on the ancient battlefield, but who would have thought that there was still a moving one here?
The scorching sun stood in the square, and the ruined walls rolled down from its body and fell to pieces. It was two or three times higher than the city wall, and slowly turned its head to look at the rushing thundercloud herd.
"?!"
Before Shi Yuan could react, he was pinned down on the ground by Lu Tinghan!
In the next moment, the center of the hot sun's chest was ignited red like molten iron, as if it really had a heart. The air was distorted by the high temperature. At this moment, the laser shot through the rain curtain like a sharp sword, and shot directly into the monster group. It was devastated, burned through the thunderclouds, and a large amount of water vapor covered the sky, mixed with the monster's roar, scream, and the smell of burning flesh.
Thunder and lightning, laser beams, like punishment from heaven.
The rising water vapor formed a high wall, covering the mountains and fields, and it was extremely spectacular. If anyone stepped into it, he would be scalded to death. The monster was burned beyond recognition, and fell to the ground black, like countless pieces of rotten meat.
"...I/grass." Chi Yongge murmured, "What kind of monster is this?"
The Empire lives in thunderclouds and sandstorms.
A hundred years ago, their thermal weapons conquered nature, and they do so now. This is a man-made monster, the war robot is really like a round of fierce
On the day, the thunderstorm will be ignited.
It guards the city.
After an unknown period of time, the cloud was completely quiet, and the monsters were all dead.
The chest of the war robot was still red.
It turns its head slowly—
This time, they looked at the people on the ground.
The red light in the mechanical eyes flickered for a while, and it said in a mechanical voice: "Human intruders have been detected, and we will expel them."
Its voice was deafening and extremely cold.
War robots are strictly forbidden to attack humans without advanced instructions from the battlefield, but that doesn't mean things are good. Lieyang slowly lowered his upper body, stretched out a hand, and pushed towards the crowd, as if to force them to leave.
Everyone thought of it: with the scorching sun, they might not be able to move in the city. For such a killing machine, if they were judged as threats, they would die faster than anyone else.
There is no way to reason with the robot, it doesn't know that the country is dead, the city is gone, it just knows to stay here, kill monsters, and drive away the so-called "invaders".
And this intruder may be the last human being.
what else can we do? how should I do it?
Mingming trekked all the way, and Dun was right under their feet.
The giant mechanical hand stretched out, the eyes of the scorching sun shone red, everything was beyond doubt—
"Wait!" Di Wen said suddenly, "We are not intruders, we have authority!"
Lieyang's hands stopped abruptly.
It said: "Please demonstrate authority."
The torrential rain was hysterical. Di Wen was drenched in the rain, his hands were trembling from the cold... or maybe it was because of other reasons.
"There's no need to prove it." She looked at the scorching sun, held her head high, and said every word.
"My name is Alicia von Cavendish, and I am the master of this city. I am back."
In the scorching sun's eyes, red and blue lights jumped one after another.
It scanned Devin... no, Alicia's irises, bones, fingerprints, and voiceprints.
The infection had changed so much that she was bent and old, with a hideous face, and her limbs were covered in black fur. But there are always some characteristics that will not change, and there are always some characteristics that can prove that no matter how hard she tries, she can't get rid of the old days, and she is still the same her in the past.
The proud king dies dramatically at the hands of his people, ambition turned to dust. Many years later, under heavy rain, in the capital of the kingdom, the princess of the subjugated country stood among the ruins with her head held high, looking at the killing machine made of gears and metal.
The light in the eyes of the scorching sun turns blue.
The wind stopped for a moment.
It simulated a brisk tone with a mechanical voice, saying: "Welcome home, Your Royal Highness."
