The edge of pure land

Chapter 42 Beautiful things

The drone sounded a cold mechanical synthesized voice: "Dear First Class Soldier Lu Fuji, you have successfully joined the investigation combat sequence. You have four hours to prepare! Combat readiness materials and equipment have been distributed, please pay attention to check them! Four hours Afterwards, please gather at the sixth apron!”

After Lu Buer was promoted to military rank, even the armament system was much more polite to him. He slowly returned to the frontline camp carrying the supplies exchanged from the military depot.

What came into view was a tragic battlefield.

Outside the gap in the West City Barrier, a huge holy light curtain can be seen.

Countless white ghosts were blocked outside the light curtain like a tide, and the rotting bodies gathered together, which can only make people think of the evil ghosts in hell.

It's terrible.

The injured soldiers on the front line were basically carried to the infirmary, so there was no priest to treat their injuries before. In this case, the medical system must be overloaded, which is understandable.

On the metal barrier, the city-burning cannon mounted on the high wall was still smoking.

Black smoke billowed, and there was a faint scream of terror.

Someone crawled out of the smoke.

It was as if there was a big insect chasing behind me.

Lu Fuji was stunned for a moment, thinking that the guy looked familiar.

But when I saw the black coal-like face covered in dust, I didn't dare to recognize him.

"Brother Lu, save me!"

The guy seemed to have seen his savior, collapsed and cried.

Lu Fuji was startled, but saw what was chasing behind him.

It was impossible to determine what species the other party was. I saw it dressed in red and landing on all fours, crawling on the ground at a very fast speed. From time to time it made a strange and unruly laugh, shouting at the top of its lungs: "My good student, don't run away." Ah! I'm your teacher! Stop now and let the teacher take a good look at you! You are the hope of Noah's organization! Don't run away! Come back!"

A group of mechanics chased behind them like zombies, their mouths full of laughter.

"Damn it, there's a White Walker!"

"What White Walker? That's Archbishop Reiner!"

"What? What happened to his old man?"

"Maybe he's crazy. There's no normal person in Noah's organization."

Lu Fuji looked at this scene blankly, not knowing what exactly happened.

Jose treated him as a pillar and ran around him.

Archbishop Rainer chased after him frantically.

"Brother Lu, help me kill this old man! Are we still brothers?"

"Boy, help me catch this idiot. I will reward you heavily!"

We haven’t seen each other for a day, what happened?

When Lu Fuji was confused, the mechanic who caught up behind told him the whole story.

The so-called city-burning cannon is a new type of artillery manufactured by the Noah Agency. They apply extraordinary power to modern technology to create an ultimate weapon called the Alchemical Armament, which can cause large-scale damage to the White Walkers. Killing and reducing the frequency of close combat between soldiers.

However, the use of this weapon requires the infusion of life energy by the evolver.

That is to say, artillery is needed to operate it.

However, it was due to insufficient technology that the city-burning cannon exploded.

The main reason is that the alchemical matrix of the city-burning cannon is not universal, and the hidden attributes of each soldier are different, which will directly lead to a fault similar to a short circuit.

With a bang, it exploded.

"It's none of my business if your weapons explode!"

"With your joining, it won't explode! Although I can be regarded as half a non-attribute evolver, I still have some attributes left after all, and I am not purely without attributes. But you are different. Your attributes are very... It’s clean, let the teacher test your purity!”

"I don't, I refuse!"

"You are a precious non-attributed evolver! Joining the army is not your path. Only by following me can you show your value! You are destined to become a great mechanic, and your hard work will be imprinted on the machine. , it’s like injecting soul into them. They roar, they roar, they cheer! They are like your children, they will travel to every corner of the world!”

This crazy old man was actually a little romantic when describing the work of a mechanic.

He seems to be someone who really loves this business.

But He Sai didn't appreciate it at all and ran away crying for his father and mother all the way.

Lu Fuji probably understood.

He Sai didn't know why he was captured and became an artilleryman.

Fortunately, I wasn't injured or killed, but I was scared to death.

Archbishop Reiner discovered the genius of the mechanic and then lost his mind.

"You guys take your time and play, I'll get back to work."

The deer is happy.

Anyway, the war on the front line is tense, and even high-energy species may die at any time. Coupled with the terrifying threat of the evolutionary chain of the Creation Brood, no one knows what will happen.

Including him, he can only find ways to become stronger and survive.

It would be a good thing if He Sai could leave the front line at this time.

Although the Noah Organization seems a bit unreliable, their status is still very high. As long as He Sai can hold them on their lap, they will not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives.

After all, he is the genius mentioned by Noah Agency.

At the door of the tent, Annie looked at this scene awkwardly, at a loss.

"Don't worry about them. When you get tired of running, someone will compromise."

When Lu Buer saw this woman, he ordered: "Tell him for me and let him get to know her carefully before he considers it carefully. But no matter what he chooses, I respect him."

Annie was stunned for a moment, responded softly, and then lowered her voice: "Please go back and see Si Xian's child. She... seems a little abnormal today."

Lu Fuji was startled, turned around and opened the door.

There were no lights in the dark tent, and there was a faint rustling sound.

Through the faint light outside the window, Lu Fuji could see the slim girl huddled in the corner, seemingly smearing something on the wooden wall with the charcoal in her hand.

She was so engrossed that she didn't realize anyone had come in.

Lu Buer did not choose to disturb her, but polished the lighter.

The light illuminated the wall, but he froze.

Because the walls are all filled with charcoal paintings, the holy mountain dripping with darkness reaches into the sky like a devil's horns. Thousands of black substances spread down like blood vessels, and finally outline a shocking totem, which looks like Like a misshapen lotus.

Under the holy mountain are terrifying demons. The lines she uses are very simple, and a few strokes can depict an abstract horror. The smudged black is like the devil screaming.

The traces of these devils are indeed lotus vines!

Lu Sixian is very focused and serious when painting.

No, it's more ferocious than serious.

She was still mumbling words, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit.

"Sata, Albalua...Sata, Albalua..."

Lu Fuji's brain exploded with a bang.

In fact, he had long realized that the girl in front of him was extraordinary.

The first is her unusual report.

The second is that she knows too much extraordinary knowledge.

In the end, she even knew the secrets about the third generation of the Holy Monarch.

This obviously cannot be a low-energy species distributed as munitions.

Until this moment, she even shouted the slogan of the corpse-eating cultists!

If it weren't for the difference between men and women, Lu Buer would have wanted to see if there was any rot on her body.

Of course, the dark matter on his hand didn't pulse.

There is a high probability that this girl is clean.

"Lu Sixian? Lu Sixian?"

Lu Fuji had to interrupt her.

Lu Sixian turned her head and stared at him with empty eyes.

"Why are you drawing these things?"

"Having a nightmare."

"Why do you need to write down things in nightmares?"

"Because of fear."

"Aren't you afraid of drawing it?"

"My mother taught me to draw. Drawing can help me relax."

"What do you mean by the slogan you shouted?"

"Not a slogan."

"what is that?"

"Immortal faith."

Lu Sixian raised a green-white finger and pointed at the painting on the wall.

Lu Fuji turned his head and looked around, and saw the totem of the Mother's Nest.

At this moment, he understood what the zombie cultists were shouting.

Immortal faith!

Are you talking about the Creation Mother Nest?

He hesitated for a moment, then stood up and recorded the paintings on the wall in a small book. Then he wiped off all traces on the wall with a wet rag. They must not be exposed to the outside world.

Unexpectedly, once Lu Sixian stopped painting, she would start to tremble, as if she had seen something terrifying, and would move crazily backwards on the bed using her hands and feet.

Lu Fuji was startled and hurriedly grabbed her hand.

Unexpectedly, like a stressed kitten, she scratched his wrist.

Lu Fuji's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the gurgling blood on his wrist.

The strength that this little girl burst out is not like that of an ordinary person.

Lu Sixian huddled in the corner with a frightened face and buried her hair in her arms.

Lu Fuji looked at this scene as if he saw himself back then.

He was silent for a while, and finally handed her the paper and pen, and said softly: "Okay, I'll let you draw. But don't draw such horrible things, okay? Just let the things in nightmares die. You can draw something beautiful.”

Lu Sixian took the pen and paper, her hands were still trembling, and her red lips moved slightly.

"There is no beauty, there is no beauty..."

Lu Buer shook his head, stretched out his arms to hug her, and sighed: "How could there be no beauty? In fact, I was also a patient once, suffering from an incurable terminal illness. But what supported me in living was precisely those beautiful things. Things. For example, your childhood home, your parents, the chirping of cicadas and starlight in summer, the sunshine and snow in winter. When I was a child, popsicles cost 50 cents each in front of my house, and we played football together in the yard. Little friend.”

"Even if those things are gone, they are particularly beautiful precisely because you have lost them, right? And one day, you can get them back."

In fact, Lu Fuji was not very good at coaxing children, and all he told were lies that he did not believe.

However, Lu Sixian really calmed down and no longer acted so panicked. Instead, she silently raised her head and drew a few strokes on the paper.

Sun, plains, mountains.

Rivers and wooden houses, pastures and fences, sheep and sheepdogs.

There are also three little people holding hands.

Lu Fuji became relieved when he saw this scene.

Sure enough, the little girl still has some beautiful things in her heart.

However, the next moment, he suddenly realized something.

This is obviously not something that can appear in the city.

With Lu Sixian's identity and status, it was impossible to leave Shengen City.

So where had she seen these?
