New Yuan calendar, July 29, 557.
Cruisd Federation, Extreme Cold Special Zone, Area A (Old Sub-Frost Zone), along the "Artificial Lake", and the Federal Military Control Zone.
"It's finally out of it, it's too difficult." After Dark walked out of the ice layer of the "artificial lake", he breathed a sigh of relief after leaning out near a huge meteorite covered with bullet marks on a wasteland covered with snow.
At the beginning, he was surrounded by powerful weapons of the "mechanical dog-headed monster", that is, one of the "Mortal Sinnus mechanical variants" developed by the Federation, and was trapped in a desperate situation.
Afterwards, he and Wolfya and Abena accidentally entered the "remnant of bitterness" in the explosion without being prepared.
During this period, Dak experienced Abena's death, defeated Zhuoli Igo, who had some dragon power, visited the warehouse where the complex old imperial technological weapons were stored, and killed Ivan Twenty-second with his own hands.
Finally, after some of the internal space collapsed, it was pumped out by powerful water pressure and landed on the cold ice of the "artificial lake". Dake finally realized that he had escaped from the "sorrow", suppressed, dark and dangerous "remnants of suffering", as if he had returned to the world from hell, and felt a long-lost relaxation.
Judging from the light and the direction of the sun, it should be early morning, and there is a cold water vapor unique to the Cruzard Extreme Cold Zone in the air.
The surging recovery of some magic source power of the water source in the natural environment. Dak dispelled the coldness on the surface of the body. Through the surge and resonance of power, the cold lake water absorbed by the clothes quickly crystallized, precipitated from it, and all appeared on the surface of the body, forming a layer of beautiful ice and snow crystals.
But even though he was out of danger, Dake was not in the mood to enjoy the short tranquility and harmony, but instead shook his body hard, causing all the ice crystals to fall to the ground like snowflakes.
After all, after soaking in the lake for about half an hour, I would catch a cold when I rushed to the road with my wet body.
It is estimated that it is still a distance from the "camp" area. Even though Dak knew the new commander-in-chief Yaroslav, he knew that a war leader like Yaroslav who dominated the overall situation would definitely not be able to do his best to search for him, a small "soldier".
To reach the camp area closest to the lake, at least, you have to step over a knee-deep snowy wasteland and old farmland that has not been cleaned, and pass through a brief firefighting area.
If the camp is relocated due to war tension and strategic factors, it will take more effort.
I guess it takes three hours to hike to a place that is not really an absolute frontline and is crowded.
Suddenly, Dark thought that he seemed to have penetrated the throat of "Ivan Twenty-second" with his own hands, ending him...
"I... actually killed Ivan Twenty-second, the great Emperor Cruzd... it's really unbelievable... why did he appear in the 'deep ruins'? Could it be that Wolfya and Luo Na's speculation were correct? Was he really initiated this wasteland disaster?" Dark analyzed to himself:
"Why are the 'future' and Loka here? Loka... The 'Ice Blade' sent to monitor my 'chaotic group' children. He was the one who used the 'exploding bodyless man' to create chaos on the railway line of the 'Linbian-Mayang' line last time. Didn't the 'future', hadn't it been severely damaged by the body on Moren's last time? Why did he still come to the deepest part of the 'deep ruins'?
"From their situation... they must have experienced a more arduous battle than us. Perhaps, they have defeated Ivan Twenty-two and have no other strength to fight me. Besides... if they fight one or two, I have no chance of winning, otherwise I will definitely ask clearly first.
"However... in this way, it is certain that the 'Order Society' and the 'Chaos Group' have been deeply involved in the old imperial tech items in the 'Deep Relics'... and the power left by Ivan Twenty-second generation, which may be related to the 'Evolution Station'... or the sequential monster."
While thinking, Dak returned to the lake and scooped some clean water from a hole used for fishing at some time to wash away the blood and dirt on his face and fingers.
After doing this, he put the two sequential monsters in his hand: the "Echoer" given to him by the "Old Radio", and the "Tear of Bizuni" found in the old Empire Technology Warehouse, which had lost most of its power, and put them back into a very hidden mezzanine position in the upper pocket of the cotton coat to prevent them from being seen by both the loser and the humans, causing danger.
Then, Dake surged the magic source power of the water source in his body and used the water mist to polish a small piece of ice surface, making it have the smoothness and reflective ability of the mirror surface, and observe his image.
After all, there is a huge amount of "sorrow" in the "remnant of bitterness" and a lot of extraordinary erosion of power. Now, in the illumination of the morning sun, coupled with the "purification" of the clean ice surface and the influence of the magic source power in the air, those forces that erode cognition and spirit no longer exist.
Now is the moment when he is most sober and his will is the clearest. If the power effect in the "remnant ruins" or the damage of battle causes his body to change and is considered to be a "intentional person" or a lost person, he may be shot and killed mercilessly by the Federal [warrior].
I knew Yaroslav, but those soldiers who gathered to participate in the war did not know Tadak, and the situation of the war before entering the ruins became increasingly tense. If both sides were at a strife and under great mental pressure, they would probably greet them with hot weapons without saying a word.
In this wasteland era, if you had not possessed the power of a demigod, or transformed into a "monster" that had been several meters high and had a solid skin as rock, with your own human body, even if the magic power is strong, a bullet would be enough to end your life, and you had to be cautious.
Thinking of this, Dark looked at the mirror formed by the ice. Fortunately, he still had black hair, gray eyes, and a standard face with very strong characteristics of Cruisdians.
However, most of the slightly ill-looking scald scars that have always existed at the corner of the right eye have disappeared at this moment, and the skin there looks much whiter, as if there is some force slowly repairing this "defect".
Judging from the whole face, the hair became messy and grew a lot because it had not been taken care of for a long time. When it was gently fiddled, the dandruff flew, making Dake unable to tell whether it was snowflakes or excrement from the skin.
In Dake's estimate, at least a week after he entered the "remnant ruins" to walking out, he ate nothing during this period. Apart from drinking some lake water just now, he didn't feel much hungry.
However, my face looked much thinner and more vicissitudes. My cheekbones and chin were much more protruding, and my body was also thinner, just like those who had struggled to escape in the wilderness by "unintentional people".
If I hadn't had the cotton coat produced by the "Kanoske Military Factory" on myself and the gray-yellow combat uniform inside, I might have been arrested if I entered the camp as "unidentified persons trespassed into the military control area."
Dake carefully observed his physical condition. Except for a wound on his waist that was neither deep nor shallow and had already begun to scab, there was no place that was not very consistent with normal humans.
He planned to eat something after he arrived at the camp. After all, after coming up from the "remnant ruins", there was no strange or inexplicable power to support him. He was also afraid that hunger would detonate the genes in his body that once belonged to "alien monsters", lose his mind, and become crazy.
He planned to go to the camp first, which is the "battle command center" of the temporary military base, find Yaroslav, and then inquire about the whereabouts of Wolfya and Luo Na. If he did not return to the military camp, he would try to persuade the battle commander-in-chief to send a new team to find people.
After that, he planned to rest for a few days, go north to Vasirisk to prepare some supplies and weapons, or continue to go north and arrive at the Demon Annihilation City.
Or go straight west, follow the tips of the old radio, go to the "Peslunai" area, find the wind wall, complete the initial agreement, rescue the "Echoer" and then look for the whereabouts of "Pramini".
Dak knew that the Demon Annihilation City was like an isolated island, isolated from the Federation for hundreds of years. Even if there was little material input, it still had a complete industrial system, enough food, sufficient resources and weapons, and even an independent commercial system.
If I could rest in Moyan City for a whole year and a half and rely on the energy conditions there, I might be able to completely figure out the secrets of "Echoer" and "Plamini".
It is said that the "evolution platform" representing "Tianshu" is in the ice and snow wasteland not far from the city, and has enough time to digest the instructions of the "old radio" and the power of "Bizuni's Tears". If you can be promoted to the order 3: Fight...
If you meet with the "Echoer" again, there should be no such thing as "virtual zero" that has shown me, the so-called tragic scene of reincarnation.
Thinking about the next direction and enduring the feeling of hunger that belongs to humans that is gradually beginning to recover, Dark unconsciously walked towards a federally-owned camp closest to the "Artificial Lake".
It’s just a pity that it seems that a battle has been experienced here. Apart from the moon-like artillery pits, messy defensive bunkers, and temporary buildings that were bombed by artillery, the federal soldiers stationed here should have retreated almost without a single figure.
I went into the broken building and searched around. There was no other food to eat except a box of military cans and a few bags of compressed biscuits.
The battlefield here seems to have been simply cleaned. Except for several scrapped armored vehicles and tanks on the corner of the camp, other light and heavy weapons such as guns, artillery, and even wreckage did not appear on the ground.
"It's really thorough. It seems that the battle situation is not very smooth for the Federation. We have to continue walking south for a short distance." Dark frowned and analyzed.
He walked all over the abandoned camp, ate the food he found, felt hunger suppressed, and burped along the cement road that had been paved by the Federal Army, which was slightly dilapidated and bumpy, but could still be seen clearly.
As we marched, the light of the morning light began to splash a trace of warmth belonging to the sun on this land full of war, bringing a trace of warmth that truly belongs to "midsummer".
Dried, without a single branch, only nothing left, the twisted huge oak of lonely branches began to appear near the road, like the guardian and witness of this long, painful, pitiful and rare hopeful wasteland of long nights.
For some reason, the "artificial lake" at this moment was almost silent, and even the chirping of animals, the roar of shells, and even the shouts of humans were not heard. Apart from the "creaking" sound of military boots stomping on the snow, it was as if the world had quietly fallen asleep, without the slightest breath of life.
This feeling is different from the Public Security Bureau that is walking in the muddy and rotten soil, and it is also different from the dirty and sticky lake area, and it is not the inconceivable dark abyss of the underworld, as well as the terrifying battlefield of thunder and roar.
It is a kind of loneliness, full of confusion and coldness, just as if your existence was erased by the world, and you were on a dying, extremely desolate planet.
Fortunately, this situation lasted for less than an hour. As he entered a cleaned, brand new asphalt pavement, Dark heard the familiar sound of engines of military trucks and armored vehicles, and the roar of Federal Aerospace Forces fighter jets overhead.
Federal soldiers and vehicles transporting supplies came in and out, but everyone seemed not so nervous. Many federal soldiers were resting on the vehicles, either chatting or sucking cigarettes made of "involved flowers" and only helped transport supplies at the helm of the superior.
They didn't feel strange when they saw Dark walking by. They just regarded him as a member of the "exploration team" who went to the front line to find out the battlefield news. They did not have any doubts about his scarred cotton coat and the deep red blood stains on it.
After walking into the camp area and walking along the temporary military garrison road for about fifteen minutes, Dak finally arrived near the rather huge iron gate at the "battle command center".
Standing on the dry concrete floor and looking at the three-story building in the "Command Center", Dake breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward, and knocked on the door hard.
When, when, when, when!
The violent and fast, unruly knocking sound quickly attracted the attention of the federal soldiers on duty post at the side.
Soon, two federal [Soldiers] who were almost armed to their teeth and holding large black rifles appeared at the door.
They opened the small door beside the main door and walked out, looking up and down at the somewhat unkempt Dak, and asked in a slightly arrogant tone:
"Which battle sequence are you a soldier? This is the 'battle command center'. Now Yaroslav and Lord Oleg are holding a battle meeting inside, and idle people are prohibited from entering."
"I am Duck Tillis, deputy captain of the 'Search Group' directly under the Strategic Team..." Duck paused and added:
"Hurricane 5th level, I just came out of the 'Deep Relics' and wanted to meet Chief Yaroslav."
Hearing Dark's words, the two Federation [Warriors] were stunned for a moment, whispered a few words, and then one of them walked forward a few steps and said:
"Mr. Oleg's order, now the battle of 'Deep Sorrow' is coming to an end. No other troops will come to support you in various parts of the Federation. I think you are very ill, at least you have not appeared in the temporary resident area. We cannot open the door for you, nor will we report to your superiors."
"Why?" Dake asked:
"I know Chief Yaroslav. He promised me to come to the 'Artificial Lake' and then find him. You guys block me from entering. Whose order is it for what?"
"Safety, just because of your appearance and face so fair, I'm afraid I'm not on the front line [Soldier]. Besides, all the abilities who come here have detailed files. We have never heard of [Soldier] named Dark. I guess you are either a 'order club' or a pure loser." The Federal [Soldier] said, lifting his rifle against Dark's head, and said in a stern warning tone:
"Anyway, you should be an unpopular category. General Oleg said that anyone suspected of losing cannot be allowed to enter the 'battle command center'. If you are a spy, I hope you will leave here honestly and go back to your camp in the east."
"I am a spy? I am the loser? Let me get out?" This unreasonable accusation made Dark very angry. With the blessing of his anger, he stared at the two of them with a sharp gaze.
Chapter completed!
