Wasteland Echoer

"arrive."

"Leiye" and the others stopped in front of an unusually huge metal door.

This door was named "KN-09" in the documents of the old empire, and Ivan XXII casually named him "The Strong Big One".

It is made of thick pure steel, and has become indestructible through a unique forging process, as well as various new technologies from the old empire, especially radiation.

This door is 50 meters high, ten times that of a general military supplies production factory. In the middle is a rudder-like existence that controls opening and locking. It was built by scientists from Putoa and draws inspiration from the seafaring nation. style of.

The edges are engraved with the "double-headed eagle" totem of the Krusted royal family, and the nut pattern representing the sequential god "Lord of Machinery".

However, what is strange is that in the middle part of the "KN-09" door, there is a Khitan Lysaurus connected end to end, occupying a quarter of the entire door. It seems that in that era, Ewen After the Terai Empire gradually lost its independence, the cultural exchanges between the Flame Empire and the Crusted Empire were quite prosperous.

After waiting for four or five minutes, the bodyguards of "Ice Blade" "Soaring" and Audry suddenly appeared in front of the "Thunder Page" people, like two sneaky ghosts, as if floating from the darkness, without making a single sound. The sound did not cause the slightest change in the surrounding light and shadow.

Seeing "Leiye" walking in front, "Soaring" and Audry first bowed and saluted, and then said in a feminine voice:

"The leader of the 'Ice Blade' is waiting for you in the giant experimental field behind the door. However, it is very difficult to safely transport the sleeping 'Axe of Pramini' and Yato. The cranes and lifting equipment here The device is temporarily unavailable due to power shortage, so we can only temporarily wake up some 'uninterested people' to undertake the transportation work."

"How long do you have to wait? As far as I know, although the two 'monsters' are heavy, they only require two or three strong Lost Ones. There is no need to spend so much time." Luo Ka stood aside, puzzled. asked.

"The quasi-leader of Luo Ka." "Soar" called Luo Ka using the latest title "Fu Bing" asked him to use:

"Today we not only have to complete the remaining rituals of 'Praying to the Gods', but we also have to completely resuscitate Yatuo. The time is tight, the task is heavy, the steps are extremely cumbersome, and the consumption of magic source power will definitely be huge. Naturally, a lot of 'ores' must be mobilized. , 'potions', 'sacred objects', 'sequential monsters', and the huge device invented by the old empire that we tried every means to reproduce." "Soar" further explained:

"Because that device is too huge, previous reproductions could only be made part of it at a time. Now we have to put it together completely, which will take some time. I hope the quasi-leader and everyone can understand."

"Okay, let's wait here for a while." "Lei Ye" stepped forward and made the decision for Luo Ka:

"But you must tell us the specific time. For today's ceremony, I also invited a guest. He is a member of the 'Order Society', a... lost person who is very demanding on time. Once the waiting time exceeds With its endurance value, I’m afraid it will take us more time to wake Yato up.”

"Thirty minutes at most, Mr. Thunder Page." Audrey stepped forward and bowed to answer.

"That's no problem." "Leiye" also responded with a smile.

Soon, "Soar" and Audrey returned from the side path to the "console" where "Ice Blade" was located. Just as they appeared, in the eyes of others, they seemed to "melt" into the darkness again.

With an increasingly intense smile, "Lei Ye" turned around, forcibly calming down the excitement and excitement of reviving Yato and turning the tide of the battle. He walked to "Future" and saw his awkward look, and asked with concern. :

"Are you nervous, 'Future'?"

"Indeed, a bit." "Future" nodded and said without denying it.

"Is it because he will feel uncomfortable when he is about to see the monster-like 'Feng Mine', or because he feels sorry for being in the same camp as the Chaos Group?" "Thunder Page" asked further.

"Alas." "Future" sighed first, then looked straight at "Lei Ye"'s eyes that began to glow with rich bright purple, and responded:

"It's all a little bit. Although all this is the fate of the Creator and God, I still can't face the 'Wind Mine' that has become a 'monster'. I... can't look directly at that ugly body. If I have to If I stare at that body, I will scream, go crazy, and finally run away from here at all costs."

"Actually." "Lei Ye" reassured "Future":

"From the moment he recited "Poetry of Inducing Chaos", 'Wind Mine' has been dead. Now he is nothing more than a body that has lost its soul, formed by the distortion of power under the residual magic source power. It's just a 'monster' that still has value.

"Actually, Feng Mine doesn't love your brother as much as you feel. You have replaced the original Constantinian. In his eyes, you are nothing more than a monster wearing the skin of a lost person. '. It's just that you are more realistic, wiser, stronger, and more ruthless than his [explorer] brother. You are a reliable 'partner'.

"If you are still afraid of seeing the 'Plamini Axe' in your heart, why not take your perspective away from the identity of 'Brother Constantinian' and participate in normal rituals with the eyes of a bystander. Maybe there won’t be such a strong sense of guilt.”

"From the perspective of a bystander?" "Future" felt a little strange and asked:

“Ditch one identity and adopt another?”

"That's right. Just pretend that you are just the 'ruler' and 'future' of the 'Order' from the beginning to the end, not the 'Constantinlian'."

"It's the 'future', from the perspective of the 'future'..."

"Oh, right." "Lei Ye" continued:

"The assassin girl that 'Wind Mine' has been training, Sophia, passed on important information to us through the 'Heartless Sea Eagle' controlled by him. After I reported it to 'Ice Blade' the day before yesterday, he entrusted me to convey it to you." .”

"What is it?" Victor approached him and asked "Lei Ye".

"Just a week ago, at the 9th regular military meeting of the Federal Council in 557, Vasily made a very explosive speech. He said that in the current situation, just implementing the 'Universal Energy Evolution Platform Plan' will be met by the Federation. Internal and external opponents wreak endless havoc.

"And only attacking the 'unintentional people' and the lost will not achieve the great goal of completely eliminating them and ushering in a 'restart era', so he plans to take more radical measures."

"What is it?" Luo Ka asked curiously, already beginning to show his ability as a leader to be sensitive to information.

Hearing Luo Ka's question, "Lei Ye" cast a look of relief and said:

“Vasili impassionedly proposed at the meeting that ‘one hand resolutely activates the ‘Evolution Platform’, and the other hand resolutely attacks the Lost Ones’, in an attempt to execute a great war and simultaneously achieve the two goals in order to complete the victory in one battle.

"So, three days ago, after intense discussions, Vasily issued the "Cruzd Federation Chief Executive Order No. 557-9-01", requiring civilian material production factories in various places to fully transform and produce military materials.

"Strongholds large and small within the federal territory must accept the unified command arrangements of the Federal Council and enter the 'important campaign mode'. If they encounter settlements that do not respond, they will be regarded as independent armed forces supporting the lost and included in the hostile category."

"Just these two points, Vasily is seeking death." Victor laughed scornfully and commented:

"Not to mention the opponents from all over the country, even the 'Viking faction' within the Federation Council will not take such drastic action. The Federation's control over the entire Crusted is worse than it was during the old empire. It is far away and most of the identities cannot be connected by road lines to the various strongholds and cannot be fully controlled.

"Even provinces that can be fully controlled must always be on guard against spontaneous 'unintentional wave' attacks. In the face of its own resource shortage, the Federation has to concentrate all resources to launch a so-called 'great war' in an attempt to both , I’m afraid, in the end he will be completely defeated, with nothing and nothing.”

"But it's not entirely a good thing for us." "Thunder Page" responded to Victor:

"The Federation's 'Binghua' electromagnetic pulse rifle has been reproduced and put into mass production. It is probably the discovery in the 'Kushen Ruins' that allowed them to achieve a key technological breakthrough.

"There are also the newly developed 'Purple Cabbage' howitzers, the 'Lotus' large-caliber artillery, as well as the originally assembled 'Hyacinth', 'Tulip', and 'Red Rose' artillery, as well as the 'Corona', 'Sundial', ' The "Halo" series of hand cannons are being produced at an accelerated pace, striving for three per person. Vasily even asked Binglin City to temporarily add three production lines for the production of "Howl of Archemis". Now, it is estimated that the first The shipment of the batch of artillery shells has begun." "Leiye" paused and continued:

"Victor, although the culture left behind by the Crusaders has many dregs, the Crusaders have never slacked off in terms of military production. Whenever they encounter enemies, the Crusaders will not try like the Zine people. Stay hidden and win through wisdom, not to mention trying to escape before seeing the enemy like the Ptoya people.

"Their blood is always gushing, their expressions are excited, and they want to tear off the enemy's head with their own hands. After becoming 'Heartless', the Crusaders have lost a lot of their blood, and have become like a living dead who only rely on instinct to eat. ”

"You don't have a low opinion of them, Ms. Thunder Ye." Victor teased, curling his lips and looking at "Thunder Ye".

"Lei Ye" just chuckled and explained:

"The Khitanris often say, 'Only by knowing your own information and knowing the enemy's information can you gain an advantage in any war.' Oh, by the way, Vasily's "Executive Order" also mentioned that complete annihilation The lost group behind the wave of 'Heartless People' is the 'Wilderness Tourist Group' that bears the brunt, followed by the 'Enlightenment Sect' and the 'Chaos Group'. This is really puzzling to me."

"Perhaps they have mastered the power that can completely destroy the 'Evolution Platform', or they have found the location of the 'Evolution Platform' and are preparing to destroy it, so the Federal Council is eyeing them?" Luoka asked suspiciously.

"It is possible." "Lei Ye" nodded and said:

"Don't forget, the 'Wild Tourist Group' are ostensibly an independent armed force that collects ruins from various places and robs supplies from all parties, but their 'big brother' is an ambitious leader. As for controlling the city, we're in chaos The group's still only in the preparation phase, they've already started implementation.

"You must know that most members of both the 'Chaos Group' and the 'Enlightenment Sect' will choose to mingle in human strongholds to carry out sabotage operations during a period when the war is relatively stable. And the 'Wilderness Tourist Group' already has a large-scale base.

"Since 'Yan Xi' led the federal army to completely destroy their base, their 'big brother' has naturally abandoned the surviving 'Ancient Nuclear Beast' that has been providing them with energy, and led the remaining members and supplies , quickly moved to an abandoned city that once belonged to the old empire.

"I heard that during this period, the 'Wilderness Tourist Group' has successfully merged the armed forces of several federal defection legions, and is preparing to rely on the newly built city to confront the Federal Council. To be honest, in Vasily's eyes, this kind of blatant Confrontational behavior is even more intolerable than the 'unintentional people' who spread everywhere and rely on instinct to gather together in search of food."

"So, will the intensity of the war in the north gradually decrease?" "Future" asked the key question.

"It depends on whether Yato can recover. In fact, I have always thought that Yaroslav is also observing the situation and looking forward to good results from our ritual. After all, after studying [Approximating the Core of God] for half a year, and [Core to the Future], Igor and Ross’ teams have not been able to truly achieve important breakthroughs and position themselves as the ‘evolution platform’.” “Lei Ye” explained.

"So, Yaroslav hopes that we can find the specific location of the 'Evolution Platform', whether it is to control it first, or to take over after defeating us. Anyway, we can't resist the 'Howl of Archemis' without awakening Yato." ', awakening Yato will expose the location of the 'Evolution Platform'. No matter what, Yaroslav will be the final winner." "Future" analyzed:

"So, in fact, as long as we continue to negotiate with Yaroslav and the others, our security can be temporarily guaranteed. Moreover, the intensity of the war in the north will only get lower and lower before the 'evolution platform' is discovered."

"Smart, Future, no wonder Sofia told me that Yaroslav and Oleg, the commanders and deputy commanders of the Federation's army in the 'Man-Made Lake', also exposed themselves when they heard that you were among the lost ones who left the 'Bitter Relics'. The attitude of 'cherishing talent.'" "Lei Ye" smiled, looked at "Future" with a subtle expression and said:

"Did you know? Before you entered the 'Bitter Ruins', the piece of paper filled with prophecies that you asked Sophia for was actually just a blank document with the "Gun Bear" pattern printed on it. But you relied on [Explorer] ]’s professional ability, received the prompts given by the gods, and completed the entire journey.”

"What???" "Future" exclaimed, his mouth wide open and unable to close for a long time. (End of chapter)
