The Record of Unusual Creatures

"Call you?" Hearing Vivian's statement, Hao Ren frowned. "Is it a voice?"

"I don't know," Vivian's gaze continually drifted over the huge steel mountain. "It's just a matter of moments, just like someone reminds me to look at that direction... but now there is nothing."

Some lightning-like thoughts flowed quickly in my mind, and Hao Ren vaguely guessed what it was: "Artifacts - it seems that at least half of the legends are true."

There are not many things that can make Vivienne produce such a weird reaction. The creation that the creation goddess directly left is one of the most likely. In the myths and legends of the Ark's remnants, there was an artifact that sheltered the whole world. Now, Vivienne feels the inexplicable summoning next to the ancestral hunter, and no one can bear to link the two things together. It seems that this exile fleet has really got some kind of shelter, and this shelter... Come to the goddess of creation! ?

Willie didn't understand what Hao Ren was saying. He curiously asked, "What happened to you?"

"You are a local, do you know how to enter the ancestors?" Hao Ren asked directly.

"Locals? I am not a local, I am a big fan of the fireplace..." Willy subconsciously answered the first half of the sentence, and then reacted at once. "The ancestors are burning?! What do you say? You have to enter the ancestral furnace?" !"

“Can't you?” Nangong’s eyebrows were picked. “Are we here to solve this problem?”

Wiley's face is not right. He has a lot of guesses about the unknown people in front of him. But I never imagined that these people would even be whimsical to go to the ancestors to find out: "This is the Arabian Nights! The ancestors are Where the deceased can get involved, I have never heard of a living person who can walk into that place! Those who step into the oven will be cursed by the power of the Hades, burned all over the body, the skin falls off, the internal organs bleed, and finally burn and die - you I want to go in?!"

Hao Ren was surprised to hear that he didn’t know that the generator sets were still so dangerous. I don’t know if the local people’s myths and legends were a problem or the ship’s energy stove itself had any security measures to prohibit visitors from entering, but He must still go in: "There is no other way to get in?"

Willy shook his head hard: "It can't be impossible. It's suicide. And even if there are desperate people who want to force the ancestors to burn, it's impossible. There are blood servants who watch all the entrances and turns, and even the soldiers even the king's words. Don't listen, they only obey the mission. Are you crazy about going to that place?"

The young man looks like he was scared by Hao Ren’s plan. After he tried desperately to discourage it, his face gradually brought a look of uncertainty. Looking at his face, Lily and Vivian, and Willy suddenly remembered the "witchcraft" of this group and some dark terror legends. His body trembled: "You...what do you want to do?"

"Relax, relax, kid." Vivienne's eyes sparkled with a slight red light, forcing Willie to calm down by the power of blood magic, her tone was slow, with wonderful magical power, "You don't want to stop Winter? And you look at the ancestor's current appearance... It is broken, the bad is very serious, and we know how to fix it, we are here."

There are only a few tricks in Vivienne's blood magic that can be applied to the human spirit, but Willie is an ordinary person who knows nothing about magic and has a weak will. Therefore, it is comforted without any resistance. His eyes were turbid: "But the ancestors are unable to enter the furnace, there is the power of the Hades, and the blood will not let you..."

"Then your king summoned the bachelors to prepare how to solve the problem of the reactor?" Lily asked curiously. "They don't know how to fix the thing from the outside, and there is no way to go in. Is that just watching?"

Willie muttered a bunch of inconspicuous conjectures, including chaotic witchcraft, misinterpreted technical terms, plausible mechanical knowledge, and a little bit of resignation. In fact, I don't have to ask him. Hao Ren knows that people in this world can't know how to repair the reactor. Just like every time the reactor is shut down, the bachelors will gather together to sing spells on ancient circuit diagrams and circuit boards. Give your heart. But in the end, people still rely on the tenacious self-repair of the Ark system to survive each winter. However, this time, the ancestors broke a hole of several kilometers on the furnace, which is not the system restart.

Hao Ren originally planned to let Willy and Oro to lead the team, and then his own group of people to find opportunities to enter the interior of the reactor through the guards of this place. This way, the soldiers are not **** and avoid all accidents, but now it seems that the local people’s knowledge of the ancestors’ floods is more serious than imagined, and ultimately they must be strong.

"You should go back to the rest place yourself, we still have something to do," Hao Ren patted Willie's shoulder after inquiring about some "blood waiters". Let the young man leave on his own and then walk to the high wall on the side of the king. He observed the terrain before and thought that a gap there was one of the entrances to the reactor. "Let's go and see the situation."

The crowd walked through the bustling city streets of Wangcheng and walked toward the gap.

Surrounded by prosperity, although there was a terrible incident not long ago, everyone in Wangcheng saw the explosion of the reactor at a close distance, but the streets of the city were still as lively as ever. People in this world seem to have become accustomed to the world around them. From time to time, the ancestors of the ancestors broke the road. It was unprecedented, but after the standby power of the shelter was started, the civilians were calmed down. Men, women and children are talking about the previous explosion on the street. Some people are telling some strange stories to explain this phenomenon. Both pessimists and optimists gather, but everyone’s actions are the same: everyone gathers in Together, talk loudly and use words to dispel the haze.

Of course, the actual damage that the previous explosion brought to the city cannot be ignored: when the electric fire tears the shell of the reactor, some pieces are broken down, and the pieces fall down the edge of the city in the direction of artificial gravity. Some houses were damaged, and after a series of small-scale fires caused by power system failures, Wang Chengzhong could see a lot of mess. Soldiers and craftsmen are cleaning up the destroyed areas, and the closer they are to the ancestors, the more serious the damage will be.

Thanks to the chaotic social order of the world itself and the chaotic situation of the destroyed streets, Hao Ren successfully passed all the intersections and did not receive any attention. Eventually they came to a special exit in the corner of Wangcheng. As Hao Ren guessed, after going out of this gap and going to a highland, he could see one of the entrances to the ancestors.

But there were really layers of guards around the entrance, and some strange soldiers were guarding the place. The soldiers wore simple leather armor, and the upper body was exposed to the cold air. They seemed to be completely afraid of low temperatures. Their skin was pale and sick, their muscles were particularly developed, and the dark red blood vessels were revealed through their white to almost transparent skin. It’s as weird as a red tattoo. The soldiers walked around the entrance to the reaction furnace, and occasionally whispered some weird sentences, sounds like a mixture of beasts and humans. When they spoke, the saliva even dripped down the chin on these people. .

Hao Ren screamed: "This is the blood waiter mentioned by Willie?"

"...radiation symptoms," the data terminal sneaked out and the surface shone. After a little inspection of the facilities behind the soldiers, it understood what was going on. "The machine just forgot to check the radiation in this area." Value - This reactor has leaks, and the radiant intensity behind those metal walls is scary, and these soldiers are always in a place separated from the radiation source by a wall, and they are all seriously damaged!"

The bloody, guarded ancestors of the ancestors, who were selected from the most powerful warrior families of the four kingdoms, were the most brave and young people who were ordered to guard the entrance of the ancestors’ bonfires, and their bodies were bathed in In the glory of the gods and ancestors, they have acquired some qualities that are different from ordinary people. Their short life spans are full of glory in their lives. This is the local interpretation of the "blood servant", and then the truth of all - these It's just a group of poor radiation patients. Their greatest fighting power comes from their radiant burnt appearance. The ordinary people in this world simply don't dare to be enemies with such people.

“They chose the strongest healthy person to guard this place, but they actually spent precious labor on the radiation.” Lily’s eyes widened. “This is really...unreasonable.”

"When the Black Death is at its worst, people are keen to burn women who know how to treat them with herbs to stop the plague," Vivienne said with a blank expression. "And the guards here are at least necessary: ​​those behind the doors are indeed It is not the place where the living should go, no matter what the first person who found this thought, at least he sent someone to lock the door right." (To be continued.)
