Zana told him: "Maybe the information here is too limited. Unfortunately, Ake, the Desman Empire is gone. There was a military coup in that country and it is now a republic."
The man in the shell was stunned: "Then...that..."
Zana said: "I think the intelligence department of the country of Disman may not know your existence, or they may have thought that you had been sacrificed. In short, probably no one will come to rescue you."
The man in the shell was so shocked by this information that he could not react for a moment.
Zana continued: "I have analyzed it and found that if you want to leave alive, there are only two ways. One is to surrender now, let the people in the arsenal capture you, and then exchange it with the Dismani Republic as a spy hostage. I
After understanding it, the current relationship between the two countries is not very bad, but considering the top-secret nature of the arsenal, there is a high probability that you will be executed secretly."
The man in the shell is still in a daze, wondering if he is listening.
Zana added: "There is another way, help us and let us take you out. You and I are on the same side now, you can trust us."
The man in the shell asked: "Can you help me... take Jane with me?"
"This... it depends on whether she is willing or not. If she is taken away by force..." Zana thought about where Jane had been taken, and felt really unsure.
The man in the shell said: "If Zhen... Zhen doesn't leave, I... I won't leave either."
Zana immediately said: "I will help you take her out." This was naturally a lie to him.
The man in the shell had doubts: "She... would she be willing? Jane grew up here... and she wouldn't go out with... you guys? Even... even if I wanted to leave, she wouldn't..."
Zana thought for a while and said with a smile: "She is a young girl, full of energy, how can she be willing to stay under this dim volcano all the time? That is not giving her a chance to be free. She has heard from many people outside.
The story is full of longing and vision."
The person in the shell was moved and laughed: "Yes, the outside is... the beautiful place. She must really want to... go out and have a look. The furthest she has ever been is the village... the village outside.
Tell me... the flowers and birds look happy... very happy. I'll help... help you, how do you want me to help... help?"
Zana said: "Your movement here is restricted, but you should know the structural routes of the arsenal, right?"
The man in the shell said: "I am very familiar with the pipes here. I can take you wherever you want to go."
Zana said: "We also have a companion. Please take us to find him. Only he can take us out safely. He is our leader."
The man in the shell looked at the four people lying on the ground behind him and said: "They can't find... anyone like this. They need... to reconnect their bodies before... they can survive. If they meet that person
..." There was fear in his eyes, and even his voice was trembling: "When I meet that... that person, I will run away first, and I won't... I won't care about you."
Cologne heard the meaning of his words and asked quickly: "Can you connect our prosthetic body?"
"The military...the arsenal has...a lot of prosthetic limbs, which are used...for puppets, and also for...people." The man in the shell stuttered: "I...I know where those things are placed...
I can take you there, but you have to... you have to steal it yourself."
"Okay, let's go right away!"
Because the intruders caused a search throughout the arsenal, all the staff returned to the residential area. Instead, except for some self-propelled puppets running through crystal energy, many places in the factory were empty, including the storage area where some mechanical parts were stored.
Zana and Poirot ventured into the warehouse and destroyed the guard puppet.
After bringing back the hand and foot parts, the knowledgeable Zana also brought back the connecting tools. With the help of the man in the shell, they hid in a safer and deeper complex pipeline. Zana began to give Cologne and Heiting two
Although the prosthetic limbs may not fit properly, they are still usable. However, due to unfamiliarity with these prosthetic limbs, Zana was very slow to assemble them, and the interface bolts and bone-flesh nails driven into the flesh were not accurate.
grasp.
The man in the shell looked at the half-man and couldn't bear it anymore: "I...I'll do it."
"you?"
"You... look down on me." The man in the shell started directly, without giving Cologne a chance to refuse, and grabbed it with his hand full of parasites: "I, I... I have worked in the arsenal for several years, and I specialize in doing this.
The parts set... assembles this kind of living thing, and gives it to... to puppets, and sometimes... to people with prosthetic limbs. There are some people in the arsenal who are disabled due to war and... and stories, and some... some of them are...
I just pretended it."
Zana thought that he had been hiding in the depths for many years and had never done this kind of work again, so he must be unfamiliar with his skills. He wanted to persuade him, but the other party just hesitated at first and then started to install and fix it. Although he was not very skilled,
But it would be much faster than Zana is completely unfamiliar with it. It turns out that the man in the shell has only been hiding in the deep sewers in recent years, but this arsenal must be used for puppet machinery. When he is really bored, he will steal some or pick up some
He plays with bits and pieces and broken parts washed down from the sewer to pass the time. This kind of life that has lasted for more than ten years has not made his craftsmanship rusty.
Colon breathed heavily through his mouth, but he couldn't bear the stench. After some painful vomiting, his weak body became even weaker.
Zana's stomach growled: "We still have to find some food. Poirot, you watch here while I look for food."
Heiting immediately reminded: "Zana, don't look for shit to eat. I won't eat it even if you find it!"
When Zana came back, Cologne's hands and feet had been assembled and Heiting's was almost finished. Zana was startled and muttered: "It's so fast, less than an hour."
"What did you bring to eat?"
Zana, who was in a mess, asked, "Man, do you want to eat?"
Colon's eyes widened, and after a moment he said: "Eat, is there anything you can't eat? Did you catch them alive or dead?"
Zana took out two large chunks of fresh meat from under his tattered toga. They were not human flesh.
Cologne hurriedly grabbed it and said happily: "It's dog meat, where did it come from?"
Zana said: "I killed someone alone. I originally wanted to cut a few pieces of human flesh. The guy happened to have a hound, maybe it was a pet. Many of the soldiers here were not guarding them. If I met someone with a dog, it would be a big deal.
We are lucky. Besides, I also collected these." He grabbed a handful of candies and snacks from his pocket and distributed them to everyone.
While eating, Colon complained: "Why didn't you find any medicine?"
Zana rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Where do you think this place is? Do they carry medicine with them?" Then he gave some candies to the people in the shell.
