Chapter 399: Night and Stars
Her eyes were deep.
But they seemed to reflect the bright moon and stars that could never be seen in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
Jiang Menghan was charging a half-moon bowstring like the time between the new moon and the full moon.
Gently let go.
In an instant, a huge pure white beam of light pierced the entire sewer.
Xie Li covered her eyes directly.
Under the eternal night, she had not seen such a bright light for a long time.
Perhaps.
That was the moonlight that had never appeared in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
Under the "holy" and "tearing" effects attached to the Artemis lineage.
The last batch of infected people accumulated in this area of the sewer pipe were also completely eliminated.
The road was cleared.
Xie Li entered the password on the rusty operating table beside the sewer at intervals to reopen and close the steel gate.
The steam engine roared.
Accompanied by the clanging sound of gears and huge chains.
Su Wen finally came to the largest shelter in the entire Signo Province.
——————————————————————————————————
After returning to the shelter.
Shelly finished her report and put the steel helmet in her small tent for rest.
At the same time, she finally couldn't help shedding tears that she couldn't vent.
Before meeting them.
Everything that happened in the return port became a painful memory for Shelly.
Even now.
She didn't know how to face that memory.
Not long ago, the disaster named "Black Tide" by the church teacher broke out.
Shelly saw her uncle bitten on the arm by the infected.
And within four hours, he turned into a monster that could only roar and attack others.
That kind of fear.
Until now, she can't understand.
Why can humans be so easily turned into such a strange appearance by disasters.
And this is just the beginning. People have to face a more cruel reality:
Those monsters can't be easily killed with human weapons unless they are completely crushed. Or use high temperature to melt, otherwise even if they are only a piece of rotten meat left, they can still wriggle towards the living they "desire".
Even so, the survivors still have to face the torture of hunger and thirst every day, and have to risk going out to find food and water.
Every departure is accompanied by anxiety and fear, because they don't know what kind of dangers and difficulties they will face.
Even.
It is very likely that they will never come back.
In this shelter, people's lives have become extremely difficult. They have to face poor sanitary conditions and extreme crowding, making survival even more difficult.
Every day there are new wounded and patients, making them feel powerless and desperate.
Only the roaring steam engine and the sound of the old blacksmith who keeps knocking on the forging and rising fire beside the furnace can make her feel a little relieved.
But now.
Finally someone can come to save them.
Shelly couldn't help sobbing softly.
She wiped her tears with the faded gray towel hanging on the wall that had been washed many times.
She can finally cry.
The girl lowered her head and thought of those who will never come back.
Three minutes passed.
When she raised her head again, she found Rendel standing at the door of her temporary residence, a small and shabby tent.
Shelly sniffed to avoid exposing her weakness:
"I'm sorry, sir.
I just couldn't help it."
Hearing her say that.
Rendel handed her a brand new hand towel, which was one of the daily necessities she brought from the Star Meteoric Transport Ocean Ship and put in her backpack:
"You don't have to apologize.
I won't say too many words to comfort you.
But Shelly.
You have the right to cry.
No one can stay strong forever, you or 'they' should have the right to express your emotions for sadness or fear.
You don't have to bear so much anymore."
Her words were quiet.
But there seemed to be a hint of her past.
Compared to Rendel observing the surroundings through his professional habits as a sentinel.
According to the information given by Shelly, Su Wen walked straight to the depths of the sewer inside the steel gate under the timid but numb eyes of the survivors.
That was a room that was supposed to be a rest room for sewer workers.
Now it has been cleaned up, with several tables and iron double beds piled inside.
Amid the roar of the steam engine.
The handsome detective looked at the gray-haired man sitting in the middle of the table:
"Viscount Kevins of the Homeward Port.
I don't care whether you still want to control the only power in your hands.
But after my companion's "cleaning" of the sewer just now.
You should understand: I am here to seek cooperation.
And your next answer will determine the future of this seaport and yourself.
Think clearly.
Then give me an answer. "
His words were calm, but there was a hint of rational deterrence.
As a scholar.
To a certain extent, he did not care about or fear these so-called "power holders" under the old order.
What can make him feel in awe:
Only [knowledge]
What's more, the handsome detective knew very well what inconsistent rights would breed in the social system he had seen in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
Compared to the capital city that abandoned these survivors.
He had maintained the corresponding respect.
After listening to what he said.
Viscount Kevins stood up and sighed:
"The biggest regret in life is: giving up what should not be given up, and insisting on what should not be insisted on.
Mr. Rhine.
I accept all the conditions you put forward.
Please save this place."
Hearing him say this.
Su Wen finally nodded calmly, even if it was for Jiang Menghan, this was something he had to confirm.
Then.
The handsome gentleman did not make too many small talk, he raised the question he cared about most:
"Eternal Night.
What is the cause of "He"?
Hearing Su Wen raise a question that turned out to be a natural phenomenon that had little to do with the disaster.
Viscount Kevins fell into deep thought:
"Are you also drifters?"
"Maybe.
You can understand it this way.
After all, that is the reason why the Kingdom of Eternal Night was born."
Hearing his answer.
The fifty-year-old viscount with gray hair smiled:
"In the education of the nobles, a small part of the 'sealed history' will be passed on by word of mouth.
But in the face of such a disaster.
The so-called history sealed by the capital is just some useless knowledge.
Just like [Eternal Night].
I actually know very little about Him.
After all.
Even I have spent all 53 years of my life in such an environment.
According to my grandfather:
He is a 'curtain' covering the sky.
And outside the curtain, the stars are shining.
And more information may be recorded in the document room of the Return Port. I heard from Shelly that you are going there with her to find information."
"Do you have the concept of stars?"
"Every three months of the celebration, at that time, we can have the honor of seeing the stars."
Clearer?
Su Wen reacted quickly and mapped it to his memory of the Lost Sea.
He seemed to understand something.
The system prompt also slowly emerged:
