I Was Once a Legend

The thick smoke slowly rose from the valley where Allen fell. Dong Zheng first noticed this scene. He stopped to look far away, and the rising smoke was slanted by the wind and countercurrent in the snow.

There seems to be something burning.

Cui Zuojing waited for him quietly, Dong Zheng took a deep breath, and looked at the boy, whispering: "Go."

After walking for about an hour and a half along the path, they reached the end. They stood on the mountainside and saw a unique building standing in the valley below.

The entire biochemical research institute should be built underground, just like the armament base. Before the arrival of the Ice Age, this is just an entrance above. After 3,000 years of wind and snow, the building with low entrance has already formed a thick The ice sheet directly pulled it 50 meters high.

The heavy pressure of ice and snow also pressed the entire entrance down by half a meter. The building materials in 2472 were very strong and had not been deformed, but the foundation could not bear it anymore.

They went down to the valley and cleared the snow in front of the gate of the institute to make room for them to pass through.

The explosion-proof door is completely sealed, and it is difficult to crack with external force. Fortunately, Dong Zheng obtained the relevant authority when he was in the armament base, directly eliminating the cumbersome identity authentication, and the door and the dynamic key can be used to open the door .

Wang Que was in the middle of the team without saying a word. When Dong Zheng opened the door, she noticed that there were waves of familiar waves in the underground, frowned, and said softly: "There are bugs in it, and there are still a lot of them. "

Dong Zheng yelled: "So many giant insects are estimated to be the result of biochemical infection. This research estimates that it is the most difficult part of the whole box."

He looked back, glancing at everyone's face, and asked, "Are you ready?"

Dong Linhai picked up the flamethrower and responded with action.

They checked each other and confirmed that there was no problem with the protective clothing. Dong Zheng entered the dynamic key and only listened to the sound of the drop. The door that had been sealed by ice and snow for three thousand years slowly opened.

Many black beetles that are as large as their fingernails drilled through the door cracks and merged into two black streams, which soon submerged under the white snow and were no longer visible.

There was an unbearable stench in the battering air. Fortunately, everyone was wearing a helmet and a mask. The oxygen supply was still sufficient, and the nose did not have to suffer.

Turning on the lights above them, they each carried their weapons and walked in carefully.

Cui Zuojing looked at the data on the gas detection instrument, and the oxygen content fell quickly after entering, approaching 1%.

There must be a lot of organisms that need oxygen, or even if the institute is closed for three thousand years, the oxygen content will not be as high as it is now.

The light of the headlight illuminates the floor and the wall. There are many corpses of insects on them, which are stuck to a certain substance to form a shell made of insect corpses. Every step of the fall is trampled and accompanied by card jump cards The crisp sound of bounce.

However, there are not many live insects, and the above-ground part of the institute is not large. Soon everyone has explored a circle. This is mainly like a hub, connecting the underground part.

They stood in front of the elevator and waited for Wangque's perception.

In a dark world, the stars are shining brightly, and each light represents a life that can be sensed by her. Every place under their feet has a dim or bright light spot, only directly below the elevator, It is completely dark.

"It seems to be a safe house below." After checking again, Wangque said, "It's about 10x10, quite far from the ground, but I can only confirm the situation of the bugs. I don't know if there will be anything else in it."

"Enough is enough." Dong Zheng, carrying a submachine gun equipped with a laser magazine, made a forward tactical gesture, and the five entered the elevator.

Cui Zuojing followed behind him, still using his favorite cold weapon. Tang Dao's blade was cut out, which was made when he wanted to cut the silk that trapped Allen.

The number representing the depth of the underground on the screen is getting bigger and bigger. Dong Zheng closed his eyes and waited for the moment when the elevator stopped, it was also used as a kind of rest.

Cui Zuojing was looking at the instructions attached to the elevator. He was quite curious about the technology in 2472, but unfortunately he hadn't seen much except these weapons on his way.

The elevator stopped at 97 meters underground.

The indicator light at the top turned green, and everyone picked up the weapon in their hand and aimed at the door.

The door of the elevator is slowly opened, and the headlight illuminates a disinfection room.

All people, no matter who they are, must undergo strict multi-layer disinfection before entering the main structure of the real biochemical research institute.

At this moment, the sterilization room had already stopped working. The people scattered together in a tacit understanding, inspected the room of more than 100 square meters, and found that it was indeed a safe house.

Everyone slacked off.

At this time, there were nearly 48 hours and two days before the box was closed, and they had arrived at their final destination. During this time, as long as they could find the place to send the signal, they could end the mission.

Time is no longer the most important issue, now they can take a good rest.

The number representing the oxygen content on the dashboard returned to normal, and everyone took off the helmet.

Dong Zheng sat on the ground against the wall, let out a long breath, and suddenly relaxed. The tiredness accumulated in the previous 26 hours poured out, making him a little difficult to parry.

It has been too long for him to rest, and he has experienced so many thrills. His spirit is like a string, which is already tight and is about to break.

It’s not too cold in the research institute. Victor came out of the summoning beast space and took care of the two children, Dong Linhai and Wangque, who were exhausted. When Lin Hangzhi rubbed his calf, he didn’t say a word. Cramped and ran over to cleanse him again.

Cui Zuojing dismantled a pack of self-heating hot pot-this is the only thing he brought out from the military base that can be eaten hot. He just opened it and cooked for a while, the fragrance drifted away, attracting everyone .

The amount of the hot pot is not large, only a pair of chopsticks. After cooking, Cui Zuojing gave the chopsticks to the Wangque first. The Wangchi took a bite of noodles and chewed slowly in his mouth, giving Dong Linhai the chopsticks.

Dong Linhai ate a bite of ham, gave Dong Zheng chopsticks, Dong Zheng gave Cui Zuojing, Cui Zuojing gave Lin Hangzhi, and Lin Hangzhi gave chopsticks to Wangque.

Victor didn’t worry about eating and drinking in the summoning beast space, so he squatted and watched quietly. Everyone took turns to eat the hot pot one by one, even the hot soup was already appetizing. Dong Linhai drank it, and he wanted to share it with Wangque. Wangque felt too salty and only took a sip.

It's also comfortable to eat a warm stomach.

After that, everyone ate some compressed biscuits, and when their stomachs were full, their sleepiness became more obvious.

Dong Zheng leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, because the presence of the helmet always felt that his neck was not very comfortable. Cui Zuojing was originally beside him, and he moved closer when he saw it. He leaned against Dong Zheng and patted his shoulder. , "Sleep, give you a while."

Dong Zheng did not refuse. It seems that starting from Dusk Island, Cui Zuojing's attitude towards him has become exceptionally good. Sometimes this kind of goodness seems to be shocking to Dong Zheng-he knows, these A common sentence or action would make him sink deeper.

He leaned on the shoulder of the teenager. After the time seal was lifted, Cui Zuojing grew bigger and his shoulders were wider. Leaning on it made Dong Zheng's guilt much lighter.

He closed his eyes and suddenly thought of something before falling asleep.

"The power that Chang Hui stayed in my body appeared again." Dong Zheng said softly, "When my emotions are about to collapse, it helps me suppress my emotions and impulses, otherwise I can't use Linhai and The finches dragged away."

"She helped you?" Cui Zuojing frowned, remembering that when he inspected Dong Zheng's body with Fu Zhe Victor, he did not feel the maliciousness of that power.

Why should Chang Hui help Dong Zheng?

Dong Zheng also realized the anomaly: "You said that the girl named Chang Hui is one of the five heirs. Since both J and Kether want my life, why should she save me?"

"I don't know." Cui Zuojing replied honestly, "She... has always felt strange to me. Although she is the heir to the queen, she does things more for herself."

"For yourself." Dong Zheng murmured and repeated, "Will it save me any good for her?"

Cui Zuojing did not know that Dong Zheng's mother had a deal with Chang Hui. Will Chang Hui look at this point before helping Dong Zheng?

But she has already handed over the black gold card to Dong Zheng. It stands to reason that the transaction has been completed, and Chang Hui gets what she wants, and will not spend extra effort on it.

Dong Zheng did not want to get an answer. Cui Zuojing was also very tired. He leaned his head on Dong Zheng's head. The two of them leaned on each other and had pillows, which made them sleep comfortably.

"I'm so uncomfortable." Dong Zheng murmured suddenly, not knowing whether he was extremely tired in his body, or the sadness in his heart that was lingering because of Allen's departure.

Or both.

Cui Zuojing made a sound. He reached out and pressed Dong Zheng's head lightly on his shoulder. He closed his eyes and said softly, "I know, go to sleep."

This sleep Cui Zuojing slept deeply, and he didn’t need to worry about anything in the safe house. The setting of the box is precisely determined by the world rules of the pure white world. Even the creator of the copy, Kether, can’t be safe. Hands and feet in the house.

The law cannot be violated by anyone, even the queen.

Therefore, he did not know when the posture of the two changed to Dong Zheng, who was leaning on the wall alone. He was lying on Dong Zheng’s lap. When Cui Zuojing opened his eyes, everyone else was still sleeping, and Victor snuggled in On the right side of Wangque, he used a furry warm body to comfort the girl who had never walked out of grief and self-blame.

Dong Linhai and Lin Hangzhi lay together, the same consciousness of sleeping.

Cui Zuojing got up and took a sip of ice water, looked at what Dong Zheng seemed to be completely unaware of, and hesitated for a moment, but he didn't continue to lie on him.

It didn't take long for me to touch the time. Cui Zuojing yawned. Seeing Dong Zheng seemed to be dreaming about something annoying, Mei Feng gathered together, and there was a Sichuan word between his eyebrows. He reached out and helped him smooth it out.

Dong Linhai issued an ambiguous dream, seeming to be arguing with an invisible person. Cui Zuojing looked at him, no matter what, he leaned on Dong Zheng and fell asleep again.

In the frozen world, people snuggle with each other and draw warmth from each other.
