Wasteland Echoer

"Huh? What? Moon...Moon Finger Ceremony?" Yaroslav woke up from his dream, closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, slowly relaxed his tight fists, and suddenly opened his eyes.

This was a habit he had developed since he entered the First Army Corps directly under the Federal Council fifty years ago. As long as he fell asleep, the muscles of his whole body must be in a semi-tense state, and his fists were always clenched in a defensive posture. Once he was attacked by the Lost Night If an attack or "wave of unintentional people" suddenly comes, he can fight back immediately with half of his body instinct.

Facing Yaroslav's angry eyes, Igor was stunned for a second and subconsciously took half a step back until Yaroslav lowered his head slightly and calmed down for a long time, clearing most of the chaos, sleepiness and confusion left in his brain. After getting up feeling hungover, Igor took a breath and continued:

"That's it, Commander-in-Chief, just an hour ago, a telegram came from the direction of Binglin City. The content of the telegram was roughly that a 'Muyuan' codenamed 'Huanqi' from the 'Spear of Odyssey' had In an hour, he may lead several elites from the Lost Organization to sneak into our "Universal Core Experimental Field" to carry out sabotage actions on the experimental process and experimental equipment.

"The Federal Council requires us to strengthen our security and set up defense restrictions on important facilities in advance, including but not limited to physical and magical aspects. In order to make up for possible defense loopholes, Chief Vasily has sent a mysterious 'superpower' to assist us. ”

"It seems... the situation is much more serious than we judged. Chief Vasily usually likes to control the macro direction, making arrangements and deployments like an emperor who rules everything, but this time he actually made arrangements in such a detailed way Make direct and deliberate arrangements, then at least..." Yaroslav pointed to the "YWNF-01" element detector not far away on the left and said:

"This thing will definitely not be of any use. For the Lost Ones of high... order, it is not completely impossible to adjust the concentration of 'mutation value' in the body."

"Yes, it is true." Igor nodded and said:

"As long as there is a [Seducer] or [Deceiver] who can hypnotize even high-level lost people, through hypnosis and seduction, a command of 'identification with human beings' can be inserted into their subconscious, and they can be temporarily Counteract the effect of genes on 'mutation values'.

"Although upgrading equipment can prevent this,... because too many resources have been invested in maintaining the 'Gnady Line of Defense' on the front line, the Federal Council is temporarily unable to allocate the rare metals and elemental ores we need to upgrade equipment."

"So, we have to rely on us to artificially strengthen the defense." Yaroslav sighed slightly and said.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, this is my suggestion as well. Moreover, in order to boost our confidence in finding the 'Evolution Platform' ceremony, 55 minutes ago, Chief Vasily personally named our next ceremony the 'Moon Finger Ceremony' , meaning 'the holy moon guides the direction of divinity'." Igor smiled, with a hint of peace on his face, as if he was praising the beautiful name Vasily gave to this "ceremony" with a micro-expression. .

But soon, the rationality that sprouted naturally after years of scientific research took over his brain again.

Igor's expression returned to seriousness and seriousness, and only caution and seriousness remained in his brown pupils.

Seeing that Yaroslav had completely woken up from his nap and his mental state had basically returned to the best level, Igor opened his white sleeves, looked at the mechanical watch that was already covered with spider web-like cracks, and said:

"There are still the last fifteen minutes, Commander-in-Chief, it's time to invite those 'Experimental Lost Ones' personnel to enter the venue."

"Experimental Lost Personnel?" Yaroslav asked puzzled.

He looked in the direction pointed by Igor, and with a dull sound of metal rubbing against the floor, the huge steel door slowly opened, and a group of soldiers wearing the iconic " Under the supervision of the guarding soldiers of "Conceptual Cyber ​​Auxiliary Power Device", a row of soldiers wearing pure white robes with a religious style, with their hair disheveled, their hands and feet were bare, with flashing belts on their wrists and ankles. Women in shackles with dots of light are "arranged for admission."

Within a few minutes, Igor first lowered the invisible mental interference electromagnetic wave of the "YMNF-01 Element Detector" on the lost people, and then used the wired walkie-talkie in his hand to talk to the guard [Warrior] below, guiding him to turn on the normal operation of the venue in turn. The "lunar energy absorber" in the center.

The buzzing sound of the machine is just like the violent beasts that are accumulating the anger that has been suppressed for a long time. They are like wolves with dangerous power in their bodies. It seems that after being splashed by the bright moonlight, they will release their inner rage and power, or repel evil. The enemy of the camp may turn against the initiator who opened "Pandora's Box" for it.

Soon, all the large and small lighting lights in the entire "Huanyi Core Experimental Field" were turned off, except for the extremely low-energy emergency light sources installed on each wall and the crimson radiance emitted by the instrument itself.

Just as Yaroslav was immersed in the wonderful feelings brought about by mystery, extraordinary, darkness and subtle confusion, Igor's deep voice appeared in his ears again:

"Commander-in-Chief, the so-called 'experimental Lost Personnel' are die-hards who are unwilling to surrender to the Federation and captured by the Federation after conquering Lost settlements in various places. Their bodies often contain extremely rich demonic energy and are unable to With a lowered 'mutation value', they either suffered brain lesions due to pain, or suffered from mental illness that was difficult to heal under the stimulation of the 'Ivanov virus'.

"In short, they can no longer return to human society no matter what. During the period of Ivan III, they were enemies, during the period of Ivan XXII, they were radicals, and during the period of Ivan XXV , they are out-and-out subversives. Since the old empire left us technological products that can imprison them, we naturally have to give full play to their value."

"Is this what the Federal Council means?" Yaroslav asked with some displeasure. After all, this too real argument is not only slightly different from the future that Vasily has always promoted, it is simply completely different.

"Maybe, maybe not, you just need to think of it as the real world under the dark waves. What is eternal in infinite time and space is never light, they are just a drop in the ocean under countless darkness and depth." Igor said affectionately:

"These lost ones who will never integrate into the human world are just consumables. Only fools would dream of building a so-called peaceful and tranquil world with insects like them. Since Ross and I started taking over federal scientific research projects a few years ago, At first, we consumed no less than a thousand of these 'experimental Lost Personnel'.

"They either died in the power test of new weapons, or were lost in the alien world constructed by sequential monsters, or they collapsed and decomposed in the extremely concentrated electromagnetic field and magic source force field. Lord Commander, indeed, like you Such a solid supporter of Governor Vasily should not be exposed to such dirty things.

"The commanders of your army often kill enemies who take up arms and are unwilling to surrender. You do have enough strength to resist any unfair and cruel treatment, but don't forget that when you lean down to observe more When you look at the subtleties, you will find that this world is often cruel, and death will not discuss ideals and responsibilities with you. It only needs a thought, plus the so-called fate as an adjustment, to take away life perfectly. "

Having said this, Igor turned his head and glanced at Yaroslav. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Igor persuaded:

"The 'Heartless' do not have any moral restraints when eating humans. When the Lost rely on instinct to torture our people of Crusted, they do not think about laws, morals and standards. They are just to satisfy their inner impulses. It's just about desire, so we did some experiments on the relatively weak lost people, which is already as kind as the Lord and the angels. You see, these long-haired lost women are probably only in their 20s, with beautiful looks and simple voices. They may or may not know that they are about to return their lives to the rightful owner.

"But the long night in the wasteland must end, and the era of 'restart' must come. For a grand and supreme purpose, some small sacrifices are not enough. 'Experimental Lost Personnel' can be sacrificed, the [Warriors of the Federation Council] 】Can be sacrificed, even after the "Evolution Stage" is opened, the people melted by the "Scorched Sun" can also be sacrificed. By the way, Commander-in-Chief, it is now time to start the "Moon Finger Ceremony", the Federal Council requires. You come to announce the official start of the ceremony."

"Okay." Yaroslav took a deep breath, trying his best to forget Igor's crazy words just now. He quickly stepped forward, pointed at the small microphone, and ordered in a high-pitched tone:

"The ritual of finding the 'Universal Energy Evolution Platform' can begin!"

Soon, the two instruments "Moon Energy Absorber" and "Silver Universe Absorber" began to operate crazily. The internal circuits were completely activated in an instant, and the rumbling noise specific to the mechanical operation impacted the ears of those present.

The group of "experimental-level Lost Personnel" who had no intention of resisting simultaneously chanted incantations for spirit formation, and instantly formed a standard perfect circle around the "Moon Energy Absorber".

It just so happened that at this moment, the top of the "World Core Experimental Site" was slowly opened under the operation of professional [soldiers] arranged by the Federal Council. A huge silver-white moon filled everyone's field of vision, and the moonlight poured out like sunlight. Below, it complements the two machines, presenting a ring shape outwards and constantly releasing excess energy halo.

Under the full moon, the high-concentration "H3 element" began to pour into the "Moon Energy Absorber" like a laser, and the dark energy showing the rich color of Vatican Black finally filled the "Silver Universe Absorber" at this moment. "The last piece of reserve space.

About ten seconds later, all the lost women began to kneel down one after another, under the eerie silent and terrifying atmosphere, the creepy buzzing moonlight, and being perfectly surrounded by the deep darkness, spreading their hair and hands. Held high above his head, surrounded by the overflowing energy that spread like light spots, he chanted the ancient, but seemingly eternal "Holy Words of the Orthodox Bishops":

"The source of shade, the realm of whiteness."

"As for being bright and clean, my body is bathed in bright flowers."
