Wasteland Echoer

"'Yin Min', it seems that you also...failed...failed." Dak fell to the ground and spit out half a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened, and a very scary and proud sound came from his throat. laughter.

"Yin Min" did not respond to anything from Dak. It was not that he disdained to answer, but that the coldness in his chest that spread throughout his body almost "frozen" his throat, making it impossible for him to pronounce a single word.

Da da da……

Da da da……

The sound of thick military combat boots came from the small door. "Yin Min" tried his best to restrain his trembling body, supported the ground with both hands, and turned around with difficulty.

What he saw was a huge body coming towards him. What shocked him was that the person who came was wearing a heavy cloak and covered his face with a black mask. From the beginning to the end, there was no trace of it. From the perspective of breath and magic power perception, He is truly a human being.

But the smoky gun equipped with a silencer in the man's hand exuded a strong magical aura of ice, which cast a layer of secretive fog in the eyes of "Yin Min".

"Who?" "Yin Ming" seemed to have broken through countless shackles, and managed to speak an extremely simple word from his mouth.

However, because the battle just now consumed too much magic power, at this moment, starting from his semi-mechanical heart belonging to the Lost One, as the blood mixed with "burning liquid" flows to the whole body, the breath of ice also spreads. .

Within half a minute, half of his body below his chest was covered with a layer of frost, and he could no longer move.

"You kid, do you know who the person you want to take away is?" A voice as thick as a rock came from the man's throat.

Then, he squatted in front of "Yin Min" and raised his chin with his hand.

"What a pity. With such a face that makes us all obsessed, no wonder that woman from 'Thunder Leaf' wants to follow you. There is an old saying among the Khitan people: 'A beautiful face will always bring a flood of disaster.' I No matter how you gained Chief Vasili’s trust, what you have done now goes beyond cooperation with the Federation.”

"The aura of the battle just now is very strong, and it also proves the decision hidden in your heart from the side. You prefer to kill Dak in a 'battle accident' instead of sending him to the laboratory for transformation to serve the Federation. Therefore, you who hold such thoughts should face death."

"Who are you?" "Yin Min", who had re-concentrated a small amount of magic power, asked.

He could feel that the life in his body was flowing out uncontrollably. Even though he tried to restrain himself, it wouldn't be long before the aura of life would erupt in his body for the last time and the most splendidly.

He was unwilling to do so, not only because he wanted to die in the hands of the man in front of him who had no trace of magic power, but also because he wanted to know whether the Federation had abandoned him.

But he didn't get the answer he wanted. The man didn't answer his question, but slapped him hard, stood up and said to himself:

"Of course it's understandable that the 'Order Society' will work for the Federation. It's for some profit, not shabby. But don't forget, I also have people in the capital. My comrades, best friends, and informants will pass on important information to me at any time. Although I cannot show any disrespect to Commander Vasily, I cannot agree with his method of transforming Dak through a chip and eliminating his monster attributes."

"For this reason, I had no choice but to use all my connections to come to this prison and prepare to take him away. Just now, 'Lei Ye' told me that she did not want the upper-level profession [Cause of Chaos] that she had divined with her own hands to be enslaved by the Federation. , as long as you promise not to collude with the Federation, she is willing to fly far away with you, whether it is to the northern ice fields or eastward along the large railway."

"But it seems that you don't have such an awareness. You know, the 'Ice Blade' of the 'Chaos Group' has been in very bad shape recently. In the eyes of 'Lei Ye', any powerful [chaos leader] is the heir of their leader." . And a machine without humanity and blood cannot assume the responsibility of a leader."

"That... cousin, traitor!" "Yin Min" cursed fiercely:

"She should be burned to ashes in the karmic fire descended by the goddess of light. I curse her... to always be betrayed by 'love' and fall into... endless pain."

"Very good, 'Yin Min', you are worthy of being a lost person who has lost your humanity. I think you must not have any faith. Otherwise, you should pray to the Lord devoutly before you die, hoping to shorten the time you enter purgatory." You would have entered reincarnation or ascended to heaven. Devoured by anger, hatred and desire, you are an out-and-out wretch, pathetic, disgusting and hateful."

"Remember, as long as I am alive for one day, I will use all means to protect Dak and prevent him from being harmed. Perhaps, Chief Vasily does not know and does not want to believe that only Dak can truly enter Pula Mini's place, use his power reasonably." The man said, put his head close to "Yin Min"'s ear, and whispered:

"Burn the sins of mankind, and the world will turn into fire."

"You are Pu..." "Yin Min" said in horror.

However, the man in front of him did not give him a chance to continue guessing. He raised his pistol, pointed it at "Yin Min"'s brain and pulled the trigger.

Under the mixture of unwillingness, fear, anger and doubt, "Yin Min"'s body was quickly covered by a layer of blue ice.

Before his mouth could close, his fingers were half raised in the air, maintaining the last posture before death, and fell straight to the ground.

A few seconds later, he saw fine cracks spreading from "Yin Min"'s chest to his whole body. In the unique environment of this cell, his body completely fell apart and turned into countless tiny pieces of frozen meat as big as maggots. , the man breathed a sigh of relief, put away the pistol, picked up Duck, who was on the verge of coma, and walked straight out of Sener Prison.

…

In the early days of the Second Era, known as the "Era of Man", when Thanar Prison was first built, the then Emperor of the Crusad Empire, Charles I, wanted to build a place that was "secret enough" and "remote enough" to "detain important people." The prison was located in a suburban area at that time.

However, with the expansion of the city, the prison has long been "swallowed" by the city and has become farther and farther away from the suburbs. Even in the New Era, this place was still under the jurisdiction of Binglin City and was under the jurisdiction of the outer area.

Putting Duck into the back seat of the "Rock" military mechanical combat vehicle, the man drove the vehicle along the desolate, dust- and snow-covered road toward the checkpoint at the edge of the city.

The thick fog caused by the "old fireworks" finally dissipated, bringing rare sunshine to the edge area that had not been seen for a long time.

On both sides of the chariot are some scattered low-rise bungalows, inhabited by homeless, impoverished humans who have been semi-abandoned by the city. Thanks to the efforts of the Federal Council, many traffic signs have been placed on the main roads in these remote areas, and patrols from the security teams under the Strategic Regiment can occasionally be seen.

The limit visible to the naked eye in the distance is a barbed wire fence about ten meters high. Looking further back, there is a high wall that completely envelops the city, and patrol towers set at fixed distances.

After numerous large-scale "waves of unintentional people" and internal battles after the New Year, the Krusted Federation does not have the strength like the Zhene Empire in the south to establish the cities of Sokra and Chekavsk. However, there is also an advantage. The entire Federation There will be no despairing domes like Sogra, nor an environment polluted by large amounts of industrial wastewater.

A few minutes later, under the dazzling midday sun and the fresh air pouring in through the window, Duck slowly woke up in the car.

Shaking his confused head and rubbing the residual pain in his chest, he asked quietly:

"where is this?"

"In the car." came the man's voice as heavy as stone.

"By the way, I was in prison just now and was almost taken away by 'Yin Min'. It was you who saved me and killed him. However, I clearly remember that his spear penetrated my chest. It's strange that the wound healed. It has never happened before so quickly. Oh, by the way..." Duck paused and said sheepishly:

"Um, thank you for saving me... Can you... take off your mask and reveal your true identity?"

"Dak, did that boy from Yin Min torture you? I guess your brain was injured and you can't even hear my voice?" As he said that, the man slowed down the car, took off his cloak, and took it off. He took off his mask, revealing his distinctly Crusted appearance.

"Wulfya, you are Wulfya!" Dak said excitedly:

"Haha, it's you. That's right. You are the only one who can save me in this unfamiliar capital city."

After restoring the speed of the chariot, Wulfya put away the fleeting joy and turned to say seriously:

"You should be involved in a federal conspiracy. The boy Yin Min, who can't hide things, must have told you the details, so I won't say more. However, as far as I know, the old man The incident of the fireworks being set off by mistake was a decision made by the Federal Council a long time ago, and their target was also the area where the legendary 'Plamini' is located deep in the ice sheet and behind the wind wall."

"Sir Vasily has probably been confused by some unrealistic fantasies and has lost his mind to a certain extent. The remnants of the old empire are more dangerous than the 'unintentional people' and are worthy of destruction. But He still wants to restart and use them to achieve unrealistic goals, which is really sad and deplorable."

"Yes, but Wofya. Just now you broke into Sener Prison and killed 'Yinmin' and rescued me. Even if you said a lot of hellos, you would have offended a lot of people. I guess the news of 'Yinmin''s death It will soon reach the ears of Chief Vasily, what should we do next?" Dak asked an extremely realistic question.

"Go out from checkpoint C and go north. First, go to Xinfeng Town. I think we need to look for traces of 'Plamini' in person without relying on any federal power. The commander on duty at the checkpoint today is My old friend Morun, even if he recognizes you, he will let us pass. However, to be on the safe side, I suggest you wear my 'invisibility cloak', which has the ability to completely shield extraordinary power. It can be both external and internal, so that you won't give out any aura and let those troublesome superpowers [warriors] notice it."

"Oh, okay." Dak nodded.

About half an hour later, as Wofya expected, when he told Morun that he had received an order to go to the north to investigate the situation of "unintentional people" and needed to leave the capital, he and Dak were not subject to too much interrogation. .

As the heavy iron door, which seemed to be guarding the night, slowly opened, and the mechanical chariot drove out, both Dak and Wulfya felt relieved, and the heavy and depressing atmosphere was instantly relieved.

Driving along the incomplete main road covered with ice and snow toward Xinfeng Town, which is dozens of kilometers away, looking at the dry occupations, scattered bones, broken bodies of animals and long-abandoned buildings on both sides of the road, Duck thought of meeting the gods. Related rumors say:

"Wovya, I remember... Every believer has their own gods. If they pray and recite their titles devoutly, they may face them in the spiritual realm and receive a response. However, if you want to realize your wish, you have to work with them. Those gods related to darkness must pay a corresponding price."

"Yes, so, what do you want to do?"

"Pray." Dak said in a sincere tone, with his hands crossed on his forehead, using the exclusive action of praying to the Lord of the Night:

"I pray to be guided by the dark night and find the relics belonging to the gods that exist in 'Plamini' under the ice and snow."
