Advent

"I cried?"

Allen said blankly, he raised his hand and wiped his cheeks, and touched a touch of moisture.

He found himself actually crying.

Dry tear ducts are finally functioning again after a long time - Alan is crying for Raymond Morecambe.

Allen's body trembled violently.

The great pain that seemed to tear his heart apart became more vivid at this moment.

It's just... With the tears coming, the fact that Raymond was dead finally turned into a real thing that happened in real life, and it was reflected in Alan's mind.

He could feel pain all over his body, as if something, something very precious, had broken.

He could feel blood bleeding inside his body.

That kind of pain was imposed on him by the brain, not an organic injury. Allen knew this very well, but he was powerless.

But it was also in this great grief that Allen became more sober than before.

He took a deep breath and got up from the ground.

He instantly restrained all his fragility and helplessness, and then he firmly held Belian's hand.

"We have to get out of here."

Allen said to Belian.

"it is good."

Bellian said softly.

He looked at Alan worriedly... Although Alan seems to be more energetic now than before, Belian feels that Alan seems to have become thinner and more transparent. It feels very strange, as if as long as the ground With a shake, Alan's whole body will be directly transformed into countless crystal clear fragments like that kind of ancient glass bottle.

Belian felt very worried, and he couldn't help holding Alan tighter.

"Don't be afraid."

Allen didn't notice Belian's worries about him, he thought Belian was just afraid, so he comforted him gently.

While speaking, he looked around himself, and the dark and deep passage was not far away—it was the passage that Calvin and his companions had worked hard to clear day and day in the past period of time.

I remember that Calvin said the last time we met, that the passage has actually been cleared to the last section, and it won't be long before Allen can return to the office area smoothly.

If you are lucky, Calvin and his companions may have already solved the last small section of passage before this accident happened, and they just waited to notify Allen to leave the next day?

If this is the case, maybe now they can follow this passage to the upper area?

There will be more complete security facilities there, maybe Alan can also connect to automatic security robots, and send those robots equipped with weapons to deal with the two terrifying monsters who can't tell their origins at all.

Allen thought.

calvin -

Then, the name slipped through his mind.

Oh, by the way, and Calvin, Allen realized that he had become much slower than before.

It wasn't until this time that he suddenly remembered that during this period of time, in order to clear the way to the upper floor, Calvin did not stay in a tent in the residential area like other outsiders. He had been sleeping in the passageway for the convenience of work. In the simple shed near the entrance...

A spark of hope suddenly appeared in Alan's heart: Maybe Calvin didn't fall into a coma like everyone else, maybe Calvin was still awake!

If he could get help from Calvin, his and Belian's next itinerary must be much simpler. This idea made Allen barely cheer up.

"We have to go to Calvin..." Allen murmured to Belian, and Belian gave Allen a more worried look, but Allen didn't notice at all.

The man turned his head in a daze, and walked step by step towards Calvin's workshop in his memory.

That place was not far away. Alan and Belian didn't have to walk for long before they could see the shabby working shed under the huge ruins. In the middle of the leaky metal plate, there is a trace of light,

The flame of hope in Allen's heart burned even more violently in an instant.

"Calvin—"

He quickened his pace, then lifted the curtain at the entrance of the shed and rushed in

In the next second, Allen suddenly stopped all shouting.

There is still a light on in the shed. It is an energy-saving lamp using renewable energy. The light is gray-green, making people feel that everything is hazy, as if they are underwater.

Calvin was lying at the entrance of the shed, face down on his stomach.

When Allen and Belian rushed in, they almost stepped on him.

"He, is he dead?"

Bellian let out a cry.

Calvin's figure is very distorted, and his position also shows that he is different from others-he was struggling hard before falling into a coma, and a crude laser knife was in his hand, whizzing .

That was his weapon, but everything now showed that Calvin's struggles and struggles were useless.

After all, like his own kind, he also fell into a deep sleep.

It's just that Calvin's state may be more painful than those of his unresisted counterparts.

Allen came straight to Calvin without saying a word, and then turned the sheriff over.

Thankfully, Calvin is still alive.

It's just that his expression was abnormally distorted, as if even in a coma, he was still wrestling with an enemy in his consciousness.

"Calvin... wake up... Calvin..."

Belian shook Calvin's body vigorously, and the young child couldn't care less in panic.

He only wanted to wake Calvin up, and in his panic, Belian's voice was already stained with tears.

He was terrified.

But just like Allen's previous attempts, no matter how shaken or used other methods, Calvin was still in a deep coma.

Allen looked at Belian's desperate move in front of him expressionlessly, his eyes solemn.

Suddenly, he turned his head slightly...

there's noise.

he thinks.

Allen was sure that he heard correctly. In the distance, at the bottom of countless decks and metal layers, something hissed in pain.

Damn it, it should still be that monster—even if someone burns its internal organs with lasers inside that monster's body, even if it is grabbed by a strange bird and dragged into a deep and high fault, that monster is still It's not dead, it's still alive, maybe it's struggling to churn its tentacles and rotten flesh, trying to return to the autonomous region.

And that strange bird, that strange bird was still hissing and screaming, constantly entangled and fighting with that monster with its terrifying wreckage.

The scene that appeared in Alan's mind was as vivid as if he was there himself.

Allen shivered, he knew he couldn't go on in a trance like this.

Calvin is the key.

Allen heard the cold voice whispering in his own voice.

If he wanted to get out, it wasn't enough for Belian, a terrified kid, and himself, Calvin had to wake up.

"Berrian, get out of the way."

Allen said suddenly, and then he stepped forward.

Belian stepped aside, and Allen squatted down in his original position.

Allen originally wanted to find some other way... some way he didn't have time to think of before to wake up Calvin (Allen unconsciously looked at the laser knife that was still activated) but just as he stared at Calvin At the moment of Zhang Qingbai's distorted face, a strange feeling suddenly rushed into his heart...

"Ellen?"

Allen could hear Belian calling his name in his ear, his voice was full of anxiety, and he turned his head to look at Belian.

The young boy stared at him with strange and terrified eyes. .

Alan didn't know that he suddenly looked like a different person at this moment. He still looked so pale and fragile, but his eyes became black and deep, like an abyss, like a black hole.

Belian looked at Allen like this, and couldn't even speak except for the weak murmur at the beginning.

Then Allen turned his head indifferently.

He stretched out a hand and gently stroked Calvin's face.

This young and fragile life was imprisoned in the depths of the body—toxins from ancient creatures combined with a spiritual chain that could make people fall into death in a coma—

Allen felt a series of messages slipping calmly from his mind.

At this moment, he only felt that he was omniscient and omnipotent, and just by touching Calvin, he seemed to have seen everything.

He saw how Calvin sensed something was wrong, and how he nervously walked towards the door, weapon in hand.

But before he had time to go out, the tent was opened, and a black shadow appeared in front of him, and then stretched out sharp claws with jet-black nails, directly pressing on the man's head.

Those toxins soaked into every cell of Calvin in an instant, and the sheriff struggled frantically against the terrible dizziness, but eventually he passed out, although his soul was still awake.

Calvin wanted to scream and struggle, but he couldn't move at all...He struggled here for a long time, listening to the outside world...until someone came to him and called his name...

Allen blinked, and an illusory melody began to sprout and grow deep in his heart.

Gradually, the melody became stronger and stronger.

In the end, the melody gradually occupied his whole body and mind, overflowing like a tide...

Alan heard singing, a beautiful unreal croon.There are no lyrics, no full rhythm, just a gentle old melody.

That is the original sound of the universe, it is the sound of Silver Star...

Under the infiltration of that voice, the muscles on Calvin's distorted face relaxed little by little.His ugly face also gradually became rosy.

It was a small twitch at first, followed by a jiggle of his fingers and arms.

After a few seconds, Calvin suddenly opened his eyes.

Then he let out a scream, jumped up from the ground, grabbed the weapon in his hand, and attacked directly in Allen's direction.

"No--"

At the critical moment, it was Belian who screamed

Calvin's movements stopped suddenly.

He was like a bull being stabbed by a javelin, his eyes were red, and he was panting heavily.

He seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare, and he had no way of judging whether it was reality or a dream.

He just stared blankly at Alan and Belian in front of him.

The man who had always seemed slick, calm and trying to keep everything under control was in a kind of childlike terror.

Even if he didn't make any sound, Alan could tell—Calvin was terrified, just like Belian.

"Wujieyada, it's Wujieyada...he suddenly attacked me, and he turned into a monster!"

Calvin's arms slowly drooped, and he murmured.

"Yes. I know."

Allen nodded and said to Calvin, and then he pointed to Belian so that Calvin could see the horrific scars on Belian.

"There is something wrong with Wujieyada, he even wants to kill Belian... But now, there is not only one monster in Wujieyada here, do you know that there are other monsters in the base? A kind of soft monster , a monster covered with tentacles..."

Allen said to Calvin.

He had tried his best to keep calm, but when he thought of the soft monster, he couldn't help but think of the laser gun that belonged to Raymond, as well as Raymond himself.

Obviously they were still so close last night, and obviously the pheromone left by Raymond on the back of his neck is still working...

"Alan? Are you okay? Did the monster hurt you..."

Calvin's voice seemed to come from far away.

Alan raised his eyes and saw the man in front of him. In a trance, Alan seemed to smell the scent belonging to Raymond again.

Sea salt, cedar.

It was as vivid as if Raymond was beside him.

Allen forced himself to wake up again.

"Calvin, I need your help..."

Allen said word by word.

"Everyone has fallen into a coma just like you, we have to find a way to wake them up, and then we have to find a way to escape from here. Those two monsters... those two monsters are not something humans can deal with, they are too strange, and they It is possible to return to the autonomous region at any time, and they may even turn all the outsiders here into their own food..."

sucker.

tentacle.

Minced meat torn directly from the strange bird.

Scarlet memory fragments swayed in Alan's mind.

"You mean that everyone else fell into a coma like me, and it was also Wujie Yada who did it?"

Calvin asked in horror.

Under his horrified gaze, Allen nodded heavily.

[The strange bird looks at him with dimly glowing eyes. 】

【"Alan." It called to him. 】

Allen shuddered.

"That's not Wuyu Yada...it's a kind of filth..." At this moment, Belian beside Allen suddenly said.

Belian's eyes filled with tears...

"My brother would never do such a thing."

"I know that a normal Wujie Yada wouldn't do such a bastard thing."

Calvin frowned, he looked at the wound on Belian and said.

His heart was extremely heavy, what happened now was completely beyond his expectations, and he didn't know what to do.

And just as if God thought their troubles were not big enough, at this moment, from the depths of the passage next to the shed, there was a strange sound that was long and distant...

"what is that?"

Allen, Belian and Calvin jumped up at the same time.

Now the three of them are terrified, and their nerves are stretched to the extreme.

The strange sound frightened them even more.

"Then... that is...how is it possible? This, this...impossible!"

Calvin listened carefully for a long time before turning to look at Allen with a pale face.

"That's the S-class siren!"

Calvin said desperately.

That was no ordinary warning call.

Calvin had only heard that voice when he was training as a sheriff himself.

S-level alert is the highest level of risk avoidance warning in the entire system.

The sound of that voice indicates that the entire base has suffered irreparable losses, and everyone needs to quickly evacuate from the inside of the base in the shortest possible time.

Calvin never thought that he would encounter that kind of practical application of the alarm. After all, the instructors who trained them at the time said that unless the base was going to be directly turned into a black hole by the Naga ships in the next second, otherwise If so, such an emergency situation is simply impossible.

...Now Calvin really wants to know what that annoying human instructor looks like.

And the worst thing is that the autonomous region is a deserted space opened up by Calvin secretly bypassing the system, and it is not connected to the main system.

In normal times, this setting can avoid the base's monitoring of the people outside the territory, but now troubles are coming.

Although they could hear the sirens from a distance down the corridor, without a connection to the main system, they now had no idea what was going on.

"follow me!"

Calvin came back to his senses.

He dragged Alan and Belian out of the shed, and then quickly ran into the corridor.

They ran for a short distance and came to the depths of the corridor.

Then Allen watched Calvin squatting in a corner of that corridor.

He directly lifted a metal plate rather rudely, then pulled out a cable from behind the metal plate and connected it to his communicator.

"It's very likely to expose the entire autonomous region, but... I don't think anyone will care about this right now..."

Forcibly connecting his communicator to the "Mistress" system, Calvin said to the two beside him with a solemn face.

And almost at the same time that Calvin roughly connected the cable to his pager, an illegal private communication forcibly broke through Calvin's access restrictions and appeared directly in his communicator.

The caller's name is Rafael.

"Rafael?"

He was taken aback when he saw the familiar name Allen.

"You know him?"

Alan asked.

Calvin shrugged: "If you want to maintain a life in the autonomous region, you have to learn to meet some strange people."

Then he connected to Rafael's communication.

"Hey buddy, tell me what the hell happened..."

Calvin asked very rudely to the other side of the communicator.

"Enemy attack, the base may be about to fail." Rafael said, but it was clear that the person he cared about was not Calvin: "By the way, you'd better tell me that Allen is by your side..."

The sound on the side of the communicator was extremely noisy. You could hear the screaming of the siren, the sound of people rushing to and fro, and the countdown of countless aircraft before they were launched.

Obviously, Raphael is in an exceptionally noisy and busy place.

Allen turned his head to look at Calvin and Belian, all three of them looked extremely ugly.

Calvin handed over his communicator.

Allen got through the communication.

"Alan, open the private channel."

After taking over the communicator, Allen heard Rafael speak to him in a low voice on the other end of the communicator.

Allen was taken aback for a moment, although he was very confused, but he obediently changed the communicator to a private channel.

Well, now he is the only one who can hear Rafael's voice, and Rafael's voice has become more tense than before.

"Allen, you have 15 minutes, someone is about to blow up the base, and there's nothing these idiots can do to stop it. The security agency made an exception and hired a transport boat for you to make an emergency escape from this goddamn place Military base, the coordinates are emergency exit k-3042 in the ring area, you must get here as soon as possible, we have to get out of here before the black swan launches missiles, or we will all die... Raymond Morecambe should be able to do it By this point, he should be able to escort you..."

"……what?"

"Don't tell anyone this news, our transport ship can't take too many people away, only you and Raymond... as soon as possible..."

The sound started to become choppy.

"Raphael..."

Allen wanted to continue asking, but after dropping the shocking news, a burst of white noise suddenly came from the private channel.

Allen groaned in pain, he quickly tore off the communicator, and then the communication was cut off.

At the same moment, there was a loud rattling sound as the metal squeezed and twisted from the other end of the corridor.

This is because the opening of a large number of escape boats caused the bearings in the central axis area to shift. The metal brackets that Calvin and others barely set up before could not last long at all. The entire channel was in a broken and twisted state, directly crushing the hidden Communication lines inside the wall.

Allen stood where he was, and he returned the communicator to Calvin.

Calvin didn't look at him, and didn't ask Allen what Rafael told him.

Instead, Allen took the initiative to speak after a brief daze.

"...the entire base is about to explode."

He said.

"Rafael...he prepared a transport ship for Raymond and me. Through the relationship with the Security Bureau, they should be able to leave here smoothly."

A strong gaze was cast on Allen for a moment, and neither Bellian nor Calvin spoke.

They just looked at Alan.

Alan's voice paused slightly, and then he continued...

"However, Raymond is dead, he was swallowed by the previous monster... Calvin, Belian, you still have a chance. You can leave on that aircraft. Rafael is a good man, if you see you There, no matter what happens, they will take you away after all. Go back to the earth, Calvin, and tell the ordinary people on the earth what the people in the military department have done. Tell them what happened in the border galaxy whats the matter……"

"how about you?"

Belian obviously still doesn't understand the current state, he even asked stupidly...

Allen turned his face away, and he smiled slightly at Belian.

"I'll be here with Raymond."

Allen said.
