Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

As the night descends, the leaching rain drops deeper and deeper.

Perhaps it was the nitrous smoke that had just been born a few days earlier that had been accumulating in the sky for a long time, and the rainfall had eroded, turning dark as ink, falling on the ground, covered in more blur and chaos on all sides.

The city is like a rotten corpse.

The tall building with its teeth staggered across the east and west.

In the broken walls, the children were like hungry hyenas, running between the rain and the lightning.

Everyone's posture carries a certain amount of anxiety and he cannot help but catch the two defectors by himself rather than others.

But there are a few more, wondering if the defection will affect them, leaving the purifier with a bad impression on the whole group of Sons of Holy Light.

Rainy spots like waterfalls gradually blocked the view 10 meters away.

Rain sounds of "boom” also blocked most of the sound, including the alarm sounds of the wafer brain.

Heavy rains give children a fantastic sense of security, so that they think they can stretch their will as far as they can and no one will notice.

And their route has long deviated from the "safe zone” set by the mentors, into the deepest unknown part of the city.

Some children lost their way and fell into the depths of the broken walls, disengaging from the army.

There are also children who occasionally find each other in the dark rain and confront each other quietly until the lightning illuminates their miserable white faces before realizing that they are not the target of hunting and disappointed.

More suspicious gossip, spreading as fast as a virus in the children's brief contact.

It has been said that the two students who fled were men and women who had violated extremely serious rules in carrying out their mission and had to be expelled from the examination grounds and sent to the temple to be purified, just like the child who stole the model of the Giant Soldier yesterday, which is why they took risks and fled abruptly.

It has been said that the entire Black Castle star has been occupied twice by the Empire and the Alliance in just a few decades. The vast majority of the area has been turned into a scorched earth, and the Alliance is seriously understaffed, with only 1 per cent of the planet's surface now under control of the cultivated towns, star ports and mining bases, while the remaining 99 per cent of the area is vast and uninhabited.

As long as you can escape into a deserted area, you win, and the Alliance cannot draw a large amount of human and material resources into a deserted area to capture two nobody.

It has also been said that hundreds of Imperial guerrilla groups persist in resisting the secret passages, arsenals and underground cities of the Black Castle Star, and that they welcome the "defection” of the Allied teenagers by bringing them up-to-date intelligence on the one hand and by highlighting the “efficacy” of the devil's erosion on the other, thus giving the Allied a very generous treatment. It is estimated that the two fleeing teenagers and young girls are trying to escape from the city, go deep underground and find the Imperial guerrillas.

As long as they stay underground with the Imperial guerrillas for a year and a half, if the Imperial Army can roll back and occupy the Black Castle Star again, it will serve the purpose of "From the Alliance to the Empire” and may also be the object of propaganda on the part of the Imperial side and be glorified as heroes of "Running Free”.

These rumours, like dark ghost fires, burn in the dark, and no matter how heavy the rains, they cannot be extinguished.

As for who said, "Someone said", the children turned dizzy, but no one could tell.

Throughout the middle of the night, Donka found no shadow of the two defectors, even after falling into a mud pit and being separated from his classmates.

In all directions, there were rainfall points that flew across, and the mud from the heavy rain glued his gas mask, removed the mask, and another group flew into his eyes and mouth, making him unable to open his eyes.

Even the accompanying crystal brain “squeaks”, presenting three-dimensional stereoscopic images of confusion and distortion, and the spiritual net is severely disturbed by storms and lightning bolts, unable to communicate with classmates, and unable to receive instructions from mentors and deans.

“Sergeant! ”

“Where are you! ”

Dongka fell and collided, just felt like a small ant, and the high and vivid scissors around him were a black tombstone, walking for more than ten minutes, increasingly unable to distinguish the direction and the area, and did not see the presence of half the classmates.

In Donka's heart, a strange thought suddenly arose.

The whole town seems to be all alone.

And all the classmates, the mentors, and the Purification Corps soldiers were searching for the two escaped classmates, perhaps further and further away in the opposite direction.

If you escape at this time, aren't you likely to escape from this abandoned city, penetrate the deserted zone, or even find an underground position for the Imperial guerrillas?

Isn't it “some say" that the Empire very much welcomes such a proactive venture into the past of the Allies, who will become “heroes” in the propaganda of the Empire?

Then he can completely get out of this life.

The idea of a sharp lightning bolt flashed through my mind, causing Donka to shake deeply, I can't believe this is my idea.

“Yao Lao--”

Donka shuddered and asked, "Is that what you led me to think? ”

“No, I'm not so despicable, that's your idea. ”

Li Yao remained silent for a while and continued, "Perhaps someone led you to think so, but it wasn't me. ”

“What, what do you mean? ”

Donka's getting confused.

The world around him was like a black beast with a big mouthful of blood and swallowed up his belt bones.

The space on the planet, though hundreds of millions of times larger than that on the starship, was suffocating.

Determined, Donka quickly shattered this ridiculous idea.

The main thing is that the chief is not around, even if he really wants to escape, he has to be with the chief, right?

Of course not! How could he escape? His infinite faith in the gods, his immense loyalty to the best master, how could he have such absurd and evil thoughts, this is blasphemy, this is shame, this is the deepest sin!

“Wow! ”

At this point, a lightning bolt similar to that of a dragon broke through the sky and lit up the streets 100 meters square.

Donka saw a classmate bending over and walking forward.

Hello!

Donka screamed, "I'm here. How many shifts are you in? Wait for me! ”

Perhaps the rain was too loud, the classmate did not hear his voice, still limping and speeding up a few points.

However, his leg was badly wounded and soon caught up with Donka.

“Shao Jie? ”

Donka turned on the illumination mode of the accompanying crystal brain, waving in each other's face, and found that it was actually his class, excited, "What are you doing here, where are the other classmates, class leader, have you seen the class leader, or have you been separated from everyone? ”

“I…”

The boy named Shao Jie stammered, “I've been separated from them, looking for them. Why don't we look for them separately? ”

He was severely beaten by Deputy Chief Liao with blue-face swelling, and the five officials distorted and deformed, showing a slight expression of indignation and pity.

Don Ka blinked and the bright light shifted from Shao Jie's face to his body. He found Shao Jie carrying a huge mountaineering bag with two small bags in his hand, filled with food - not synthetic food distributed by the college for them, but imperial food picked up from the city, or high-energy nutrients mainly compressed cookies and energy sticks.

If you look at Shao Jie's flickering eyes again, Dong Ka will understand everything.

“You want to run, too? ”

Donka took two steps back and muttered, “How could you betray the gods, betray the good master! ”

“I didn't! ”

Shao Jie's face seemed to have been punched again by an invisible fist, screaming, "I'm not trying to escape, no! ”

His cry was instantly torn apart by the storm, and the whole person was like drowning in the storm.

“Then why did you pick up such a big backpack filled with energetic food that we would never allow! ”

Don Kayi was so strict that he completely forgot that he was eating sea urchins in the supermarket during the day. "We have an emergency supplement with us to support the temporary assignment for one night. If it wasn't for a long journey, why did you sneak these things up! ”

Shao Jie, like Dong Ka, was just a 13-4-year-old boy, and the lie was poked through and immediately turned into a leatherball.

“Leave me alone, Donka, I can't go back! ”

Shao Jie mourned his face and said pitifully, “You know, I just had a fight with Liao Feng —— he was a deputy class leader, had the power to discipline classmates, but I had no right to fight him, I, I was corrupt, I defied the best way, I would definitely be sent to the temple to purify, I don't want to be that, I don't want to be a horrible bottom miner or warrior.

“You, don't you ever see me, Donka, please! ”

Donka was silent, her mind was all messed up, and she mumbled: "You, you really shouldn't hum the majesty of the Empire. ”

“I didn't mean it, I swear I didn't mean it, but those voices came out of my nostrils somehow! ”

Shao Jie shouted, “There was nothing going on. Liao Mao had to grab me, he couldn't even control his emotions, and said to me? Me, I got nowhere to go, Donka. Let me through. Nobody's gonna know! ”

Donka had never seen such a weak and pathetic look in Shao Jie's eyes, or in the eyes of any of his classmates.

His psychological defense stepped back and collapsed, his legs trembling.

“You can't let him go. ”

Li Yao sighed, “Go up and stop him. ”

“What?”

Don Ka stood still and wondered why Li Yao, who was a "demon”, would say something like this, “You don't want him to ‘run free'? ”

“He can't escape, so can you. ”

Li Yao Cold Road, “Someone is staring at you. This is part of the 'ultimate test'. The storm is just an illusion. Every move you make is under the spotlight and closely monitored. ”
