"......PhD."
"......PhD!"
"Dr. Sania!!"
"Hold on!"
Violent shaking and an anxious woman's voice. It feels like we are on some kind of rapidly moving platform. Is it a carriage? No, much, much, much smaller than this.
Is it made of metal? What a luxury.
It's very shady. Is it underground?
But there is light.
Not a bonfire, not a lamp, not a candle. In the blurry field of vision, long strips of white cold light slid past one after another above the head - and then a bright light came in after a "click".
"No, my pupils are starting to dilate."
"Keep talking to her."
"Adrenaline, quick!"
"Dr. Holdman, over there in the emergency room!"
"Bang——Boom!!!" There was a strong vibration, and the movement was very similar to the hand cannon used by the three Laman mercenaries they encountered before, but the scale was much larger.
"Wake up, Mira." Someone next to me shouted, and the scenery in front of me suddenly changed from a cold underground corridor to a forest mountain road somewhere - the clothes also changed, and the sword that was originally held tightly in his hand changed. He hung down, and even his knees were getting weak.
'Ah, the gaps left by the previous battle have not been polished yet, and it has only been two days and we are in trouble again,' she thought.
"It's coming again." The man with red hair shouted while holding a knife, and something was howling in front of him.
'It won't work if I don't hold the sword tightly,' she thought, trying to hold the sword tightly.
——How to hold it?
"Kalaiva, hold on to the ones on the left. Guard this gap and don't let them rush over." The man standing in front commanded loudly.
"I know." Another man, who was almost as tall as him but seemed far less calm than him, replied.
'What a nerd'.
--who?
-Who are the idiots? Who are they?
His vision shook, his legs softened, and then the scene in front of him tilted.
"...Mira!" Before it fell completely into darkness, two petite girls ran over in a panic.
"Dr. Holdman, the emergency room has been destroyed!" A young man full of urgency - or should I say a boy? ——’s voice.
Are you being attacked? Why do everyone look so panicked?
Head hurts.
Feeling dizzy.
"Is it another traitor? Where's the indoor security?" said the bespectacled man named Holdman, and then there was another explosion above his head.
But this time it wasn't one explosion, but a series of explosions.
The vibration caused the LED lights on the ceiling to flicker, then go out and then light up again for about 5 seconds.
"The bombing of ground attack aircraft, so the Air Force has been completely wiped out." Dr. Hodeman said while raising his glasses.
"It's still too difficult for the garrison at one base to intercept three aircraft carriers. Those bastards from the League of Nations refused to agree to the deployment of shore-based anti-ship missiles, saying 'don't touch the nerves.'"
"Fucking cake eater." The gentle and nervous female voice at first became full of anger. She pulled off the white coat she was wearing, revealing her torso wearing only a black sports vest and her tattooed legs. Only arm.
"Xiao Wen, the indoor security is all gone, right?" The woman with short hair picked up the weapon hidden next to her white coat. She pulled the bolt halfway and checked the color of the bullets in the chamber.
"Yes, there may still be some of their people in the base."
"Mr. Holdman, are subsonic bullets okay?" the woman asked, and the doctor wearing glasses was stunned for a moment: "Uh, it should be okay."
"This broken base is full of flammable and explosive materials, so we can't open fire without worry, but whether this thing can penetrate their armor is another question." The woman continued to mumble, but then there was a different sound coming from above her head. of vibration.
"Dong dong dong dong -" the impact sound sounded again. This time it was more like a crash than something exploding, but it was more numerous and lasted for a long time.
"Tsk, airborne troops."
"Ding——!" sounded, and then two doors suddenly opened on the wall.
"7f, press quickly."
The creaking platform was pushed inside. She was in a daze and wanted to move but couldn't. Although her eyes were closed, she could clearly feel what was happening around her.
so cold.
It hurts.
They are anxious.
Everyone is.
What are you anxious about?
Anxious about his own death.
Are you going to die?
Who are you?
Fragments of several people's thoughts and emotions poured in. She felt the obsession of these people that had spanned tens of millions of years but was still hot, and she gradually lost herself in it.
"Don't fall asleep, doctor!!" the woman's voice rang.
"The medicine is gone, I'm going to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation." The doctor rolled up his sleeves.
"Can this damn elevator go faster?" "Bang!!"
"It's no use kicking the elevator, Major!"
"Ding——!" "Isn't this useful!"
"This is not the seventh floor! Someone pressed the elevator button to stop!"
"God has abandoned us, and everyone in the world is guilty. All this is a punishment for our greed. We must not violate God's will, ah, really——" "Da da da da da—" "Go find it Your God, please finish!" "Pop!" "Ah, the button is blocked!" "Ding——!" "It would be better if you smash it and they can't get in!"
"Click——"
"Sinner! Sinner!" "Da da da"
"Sin——" "Da da da da da——"
"Click -" Another empty magazine was thrown on the smooth tile floor, and she pulled out the last magazine from her waist.
"嚓——" inserted.
"Pa-" Then he reached out and patted the gun bolt stuck in the groove. It pushed forward and pushed a brand new polymer-cased bullet into the gun chamber.
"Stuck."
"It's only 20 meters away from the emergency room."
"These lunatics don't even have guns." said the woman in a black sports vest.
"Still, the entire base was almost destroyed."
"The security measures you are so proud of failed to work in the end, so I hate idealists."
"I always simplify complex issues without permission, thinking that as long as I set detailed rules and consider all aspects, everything will go as planned."
"But humans are far from as accurate and reliable as machines. Did you hear that? You believe that humans will kill each other for such boring reasons even when disaster strikes."
"Bullshit bastard idealist. I told you all the beautiful words and we all believed them. Don't just die like this, okay?"
"Major, the doctor has..."
"Shut up!"
"You piece of shit bastard." She growled with a cry.
"You said it yourself. You said that no matter what kind of crisis we face, you firmly believe that mankind can always stand up again."
"You can always get over it."
"It's just death, step over and show me."
"Bang——!!" The door on the other side of the emergency room was suddenly blown open, and everyone hurriedly hid behind the bunker. The incandescent light flickered, then completely dimmed this time, and then the dim emergency lights came on instead.
"Clear the area." A steady man's voice rang: "HQ, this is Alpha 1, which has entered the 7th underground floor. The emergency room has been occupied by thugs, and enemy fire is fighting Beta and Charlie. No VIP has been found yet. complete."
"Major, it's reinforcements." There was joy in the young man's voice.
But the woman didn't respond.
"Major!"
"Major Erica!" The short-haired woman lay on her chest, her eyes widened, and she stretched out her hand to stop the boy from speaking.
"...Heartbeat."
"There's still a heartbeat!" The woman turned her head: "Go to the emergency room quickly!"
"Enter the enemy!" The doctor walked out of the bunker.
"Put your head on the back of your head and don't move it!" the soldier yelled.
"Wait a minute, we are from here, and this is my ID card!" The doctor wearing glasses raised his hands.
"Identification, Tanegashima Emergency Department, Dr. Edward W. Howard, not fake, sir" The strong light was accompanied by the sound of mechanical friction.
"Wow, powered armor, isn't this something only the first echelon can afford? Which army are you from?" The young man jumped out.
"He is my direct subordinate. He came too late." The major stood up.
The two-meter-high mechanical armor saluted her together with the man who was not wearing them but was not much taller than her.
"Doctor, what's going on in the emergency room?"
"The equipment is all destroyed, and these guys have no intention of giving us a chance to save them."
"Powerful stimulant?" The tall man's voice was steady and calm. He took the syringe from the friendly soldier next to him and handed it to the doctor wearing glasses.
"Evacuation plan?"
"There is a Jizhi 28 waiting 3 kilometers away. The fighter formation has been completely wiped out, but fortunately, the enemy's ammunition and fuel have been consumed. The sky belongs to us until the next batch of sorties are dispatched."
"Report."
"yes."
"HQ, this is Alpha 1. Contact with VIP and the other three people has been confirmed. Evacuation is about to take place. The estimated arrival time is 10 minutes. VIP is seriously injured. Please prepare medical staff. Over."
"Beta Charlie, this is Alpha. Our team has contacted the VIP and requested cover to evacuate. Over."
"You are still so rigid, Captain Nan." The major sighed.
"The next thing to see is whether this fool's will is strong enough." Then he said this in a weak tone, almost as if he was talking to himself.
The picture suddenly froze.
It's like someone pressed the pause button.
——Pause button, what is that?
"You've gone too deep. You're not her. Wake up." Another woman's voice sounded, and she looked over. No, can this be called looking? Because of this broad field of vision and the huge amount of information that comes rushing in like a waterfall washing over rocks just by "looking"——
All those sounds visual touches grief anger despair.
and love.
The moment of contact, you will be overwhelmed, immersed, melted, and become them.
"Everything here is chaotic, and these things are not real. They are the reverberations of the past, the memories of people on the stars that were extinguished a long time ago." The woman's voice was steady and calm, not knowing Why, Mira felt like she knew who she was.
"Hold it." Emerging from the void, a woman with long black hair and ancient white church clothes reached out and handed her an item that shone with orange light.
"Find yourself and return to your world."
"Go back to that person."
"are you--"
"I'm just an echo of the past. You can hear it because the wavelengths are similar and I'm in a similar situation."
"But you-" She tried to make a sound, but it was as difficult as trying to dye an entire lake with just one or two drops of paint.
"——" She didn't speak anymore. Mira stretched out her hand to hold the object that emitted orange light. This action made her arms and body emerge from the darkness. Then when it lit up, the black The woman was found to have disappeared.
"——Eh!? Hold it!" The amber containing tiny insects from millions of years ago was exuding soft light in the palm of her hand. The circular route starting from the magic pool moved in a way that the white-haired girl herself did not quite understand. The method drives it to turn into a light like a bonfire in the dark night.
"Wake up, wake up!"
The moment she opened her eyes, the figures around her came into view one after another, but it was like a dream, and she still didn't know if it was real.
In front of him, the figure of a man with longer hair and beard and gray-blue eyes overlapped with something.
"Captain Nan, I saw Sania." After Mira finished speaking, she fell asleep again.
"...What?" Even Henry was surprised for a moment.
"Ah, why did you faint again?" Galeva said anxiously next to him.
"It's okay. I just fell asleep this time. There is no sign of erosion." The sage put his hand on the Luoan girl's forehead and said after feeling it.
"It's really impossible to come to this kind of place without the protection of rune stones." He said: "Fortunately, there is the amber that Lulu carries, but I can't drive it and the only person who can drive it -"
He hesitated to speak, looking at the luminous amber tightly held by Mira who was sleeping soundly.
"Fortunately, God bless her, and she was able to hold it while she was in a coma." Ling said, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
"Yeah, maybe it was really blessed by something." The sage said in a very low volume, almost to himself.
"Anyway, it should be safe for now."
"Then what?" Joshua wiped the blood off the knife and asked.
The corpses of more than a dozen ghouls and three tauren lay outside the narrow cave.
"How do we get out of this weird place?"
The blood moon hung high, and the twisted trees outside the cave were about to move.
