Wasteland Echoer

It was not ordinary pure black, but an existence close to nothingness.

Even in the wilderness without any artificial light sources or even animal activities, there will still be a dreamlike veil as thin as a veil under the bright moonlight. The remaining subtle light will make people feel that they are in a human being. The world of existence.

The dark cave formed by the earthquake in front of Luo Nie and Marco was more like a teleportation point that suddenly appeared. It appeared here suddenly without warning, as if it connected the connection described by astronomers in the Third Era. space beyond the observable universe.

That is the "nothingness" mentioned in Eastern culture, especially the Taoist religion of the Fire Empire. It is distant and unimaginable, and the emptiness is calm and calm.

This breathtaking scene caused Luonie and Marco to have an innate curiosity as human beings. The inexplicable extraordinary power was guiding their thinking, thereby leveraging their behavior, making them The two wanted to jump into the hole and plunge into the near-eternal embrace of darkness.

Until, the gasping sound belonging to the beast became thicker and gradually turned into a whimper. Then, after the darkness gradually lost its sense of mystery and emptiness, it turned into a thick, unwilling and painful cry.

"Is it the 'Alien Heartless'?" Marco asked doubtfully. Even a "gold digger" who was in the wilderness of the extremely cold zone and experienced many battles had never heard such a strange sound.

"I can't see it." Luo Nie shook his head and denied, then cautiously moved towards the hole, leaned down, and looked inside at the edge, "Marco, do you know the history of this abandoned city? I seem to feel some strange atmosphere that does not belong to this era. There is machinery...and...a stronger smell of 'dragon'."

"Are you talking about... dragons? That's impossible, that's ridiculous! Wasn't it a half-orc who walked out of the prison of the old empire some time ago? Everyone in the Federation said that the reappearance of the dragons was a rumor." Marco said firmly. retorted.

Even though he didn't mean to believe it at all, when he turned back to pick up the old-fashioned "Ice Tiger" rifle that he had always used, and approached the cave, his legs were still shaking uncontrollably, and he didn't take more than two steps. He fell to the ground, no different from Luo Nie's posture of possessing and observing.

"That is the 'taste' that belongs exclusively to the dragon clan. It was perceived through the ability that the 'Lord of Mechanics' gave me through 'reason' a long time ago. Marco, appearance will definitely deceive people, taste will always confuse people, and the mind sometimes It can cover up people, but 'Shang' is honest." Luo Nie lowered his voice and explained.

"Boy." Marco supported the ground with his right hand. After standing up tremblingly, he fell to the ground due to a sudden and inexplicable lack of physical strength. Even so, he still used his poor knowledge to retort:

"I don't care if you are a lost person or a person with powers, what is your past, what is your identity. Since you saved me, I have to remind you: It is a dangerous behavior to think that the Dragon Clan still exists. The Dragon Clan has been around for thousands of years. It was wiped out by the five warriors years ago.

"Any strange events related to dragons in the future will be caused by someone using their name to fool the world. The dragons you feel are either huge alien creatures or even monsters. Or someone has disturbed our spirit and thinking."

"'Shang' doesn't lie, Marco." Luo Nie said lightly, and slowly stood up, took out the "Crazy Bear" pistol from his waist, loaded the bullet, and used his sapphire-like eyes that gradually emitted a faint light. Staring intently at the cavern that echoed with sounds like ethereal beasts.

"I don't know what kind of cult you believe in. The superior bishop and the orthodox bishop certainly don't teach these things. The 'Order Society' and the 'Chaos Group' have their own predecessors as gods. I guess, maybe you are influenced by the 'Comprehension Cult' , or it's the instigation of their alliance, the 'Corona Association'." Marco said in a stern warning tone:

"Most of the organizations that can survive in the ice sheet do not have the moral and contractual concepts that the Federation believes in. They kill without blinking an eye, especially the Lost ones, who are more evil than Satan. If I catch them, I will definitely use cannons Bang for several days. Listen, boy, the 'Chaos Group', 'Comprehension Sect' and 'Corona Association' are the mortal enemies of our 'Wild Tourist Group', and they are also the most hated guys by the 'Gold Diggers'.

"If unfortunately we are surrounded by them in the ice wilderness and are about to be arrested, we will usually activate the 'termination core' directly. Instead of suffering humiliating torture and death, it is better to leave the last dignity of human beings."

"'Shang' doesn't lie, Marco." Luo Nie still stared at the dark hole that had receded a little, repeating his previous point of view.

“I don’t understand what ‘Shang’ is, but I have to tell you, it’s best not to have any contact with them, not even to cooperate. They are greedy, arrogant, cruel, violent, conscienceless, and crazy. A beast with a human face." Seeing that Luo Nie didn't seem to be listening, Marco spoke a little faster:

"After being captured, our brothers were almost all subjected to inhuman torture. They were usually dripped with the blood of the Lost and mutated into 'Heartless People'. Then their bodies would be opened and the non-mechanical parts removed, did you know? , will also use monsters to transform people into a 'mindless bomb'. The Federal Council seems to call them... called..., yes, 'body-exploding mindless bombs'.

"Even those who survive by chance and mutate into the Lost can only be the most humble among them, who are used and then abandoned. The leaders among them, such as those who used to be in the 'Order Society', are now Yan Xi, who acted as a thug in the Comprehension Sect, or Xi Zhi, Song Wu, who had just been injured and escaped from the Corona Association, also talked about "Creator", "Hongdang", and so on every day. The Dragon Clan's brain is probably damaged a long time ago, and it relies on the virus to support its body."

"But just thirty years ago." Luo Nie turned his head almost mechanically, staring at Marco with brighter and hair-raising eyes and said:

"I have seen a dragon. Just like in the legends and paintings, even if it was only for a moment. And, Marco, I don't mind telling you my purpose. I am here to find someone. My friend is here. The deepest, coldest and most mysterious place in the wasteland.

"He was called an 'evil god' by the 'Order Society' and a 'dragon-related person' by the Federal Council. However, the false god once reminded me that he and I would have an 'unforgettable fateful entanglement.'" When the ice and snow in Rust begin to melt, the wheel of fortune will turn'. So, I believe in dragons, and in a sense, my journey is destined to be inseparable from dragons."

Luo Nie said, reciting subtle incantations for spirit formation.

In a few seconds, the subtle light green magic power covered his body, forming a flickering layer of something similar to a protective shell of plant-like monsters.

Pulling Marco, who had just stood up, back a few steps, Luo Nie further lowered his voice and warned in an urgent tone:

"Going back to the question just now, Marco, do you know the history of this abandoned city? I feel that the power of 'machine' and 'dragon' is getting stronger, and these flavors are intertwined with 'sad'. It was as if the pressure caused by the flames in the enclosed space reached its limit and almost erupted."

"This is considered the 'Arctic Zone South-1' divided by the old empire, and was later changed to Area S." Marco replied:

"It used to be an important industrial area in the old empire. High-energy-consuming, high-pollution factories were all opened here. This city used to be related to resources, maybe some kind of ore. You won't know the details until my team members arrive. I had already released the flare before I came in, and they will be here soon."

"Then I have to pay attention." Luo Nie said worriedly:

"If this had been an important industrial town, there might have been people who believed in the 'Lord of Machinery'. I can't go against the 'principles' formulated by him. If the war situation is urgent, I may not be able to exert some of my power. However, I suggest that we solve the immediate problem first. Difficulties!"

Luo Nie's last sentence was extremely urgent, almost half-shouted.

Indeed, he sensed "machines" and "dragons", and naturally also sensed danger.

Before the echo of his words completely dissipated in the abandoned theater hall, a huge pure steel dragon tail emerged from the cave and hit Luonie precisely where he was standing.

For experienced wilderness survivors and skilled manipulators of magic power, they have very strong basic survival reflexes and agility.

Luo Nie dodged the attack with just a gentle somersault and landed accurately on a nearly square broken stone. Although Marco was a little embarrassed, he rolled on the ground and escaped among the dust. Danger.

"He's coming out." Luo Nie shouted:

"Perhaps we woke him up, or maybe he resonated with some kind of power. Marco, I feel that the 'Shang' in his body is not particularly strong. As long as we can use the power of 'Mechanical Spirit', we can defeat him." he."

"Is this...such a big beast? Can one tail be so huge? Boy, there is no shame in running away. Living in the ice field is more important than anything else." Marco said from a realistic point of view.

"It has woken up, and its power has begun to overflow. Do you think we can still escape?" Luo Nie said, pointing his pistol at the gap where the mural remained at the top of the hall.

Marco looked up, and at some point, the bright, warm, slightly sunny light of the afternoon turned into a terrifying red light.

He looked out from the broken door of the theater again. The entire abandoned city seemed to be completely covered by an invisible red curtain, almost isolated from the world.

But what was even more strange was that when he realized that he was bound by some kind of restriction and had no possibility of escape and had to fight, the red light seemed to be alive and quickly spread into the hall of the abandoned theater. Everything in front of him was gradually covered with a bloody mist!
