The pleasant sound of whales came from far away, and soon it got closer and closer, and everyone on the airship heard it.
A big fish swam over from the distant sky.
Black back, long fins, beautiful white spots.
When we got closer, we realized it was not a fish, but a whale, a huge killer whale.
The huge killer whale rushed through the dense black cloud of deformed species. Its tail fin swept across with great force, knocking away all the monsters clustered on the top of the cabin.
The force, along with the hurricane wind, was so strong that it swept through the airship's cables.
The whole airship was tossed and swayed by the strong wind brought by the fish's tail.
All the people who were still alive tried to grab anything that could stabilize their bodies and hold on to their unconscious companions. In the chaos, they looked up and saw the fish belly that covered the sky and the sun swimming over their heads.
This whale is so huge, as majestic as a battleship, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"It's a sentinel. This is the spirit body of a high-level sentinel."
"Oh my god, such a big body. What's the level of this sentinel?"
"It's the rescue team, the rescue team is here!"
Rescue? The survivors on the spaceship almost wanted to cheer. Them? It was hard to believe that the White Tower had sent rescue so quickly.
Why is there only one person here?
On the big fish's pure black back stood a high fin like a sword. In front of the fin stood a warrior.
With a rifle in his hand and a short blade on his waist, his legs firmly planted on the smooth back of the whale. Even though he was flying high in the sky, he stood as steady as a rock.
His gaze swept from top to bottom as the whale passed by, cold and indifferent, without much enthusiasm.
The orange sunlight shone on his wrinkled brows, but could not bring any warmth to his cold face.
Ni Ji felt a little irritable.
He actually didn't understand why he rushed in.
I am a person who has neither the qualifications nor the time to take care of such matters.
Perhaps it was Tan Shu's annoying words, or the word "guide" that aroused his interest, or perhaps it was some confusing reason that he himself did not understand.
In short, by the time he reacted, he had already entered the newly formed contaminated area.
Now that they are here, we have to take care of them, Ni Ji thought as he looked at the injured people lying all over the boat.
The lives of the people on this airship are more valuable than my own miserable life. If I can save a few of them, even if I mess up, the brothers below won't laugh at me.
From the broken and shabby gap in the shaky airship, he suddenly saw the only person standing in the mess.
Ni Ji's pupils contracted.
Is it her?
How come the guide is here too?
Ni Ji had seen this guide three times.
The first time, she was still a little girl, sitting barefoot in the snow with her knees hugged, staring at the sky in a daze with a calm face.
The second time, the grown-up girl wore a white dress embroidered with gold thread. The lace edges embraced her little face, making her look delicate and beautiful.
The third time, she changed into a black dress that looked like smoke and mist. She was ridiculed by others, but she remained calm and unmoved.
That time she pressed herself into the dark pipe, and suffered a huge loss that she could not speak of. But she still had that cool and delicate look, as if nothing had happened.
This was the first time Ni Ji saw her in such a ferocious state. She was standing in the ruins, her fair face covered with sweat and dust, her hair stuck to her neck, and her clothes were soaked and stained with blood.
However, those eyes, which had always been calm, now lit up in the rising smoke.
There was a hint of anger, a hint of rage, and a hint of a fierceness that was unwilling to admit defeat.
It was as if he had become more human, no longer as unconscious and emotionless as before.
Fortunately, it came in.
Did Ni Ji notice that his heart softened at that moment?
He didn't even realize that his cold and stinky face softened the moment he saw the guide.
"Hey, are you from the rescue team?" On the swaying airship, an injured sentry struggled to get up and shouted to Ni Ji in mid-air, "How many of you are here?"
Ni Ji pointed at himself and then at a snowy owl following behind him.
"Just me and him."
The owl was Song Yuansi's spiritual body. It followed him in timidly but stubbornly.
Just two of us?
Only two people came.
Everyone's hope, which had just been ignited, sank again.
Ni Ji loosened his grip and threw a fist-sized bead down from the sky.
The amber bead was very hard. It bounced a few times on the deck, rolled around for a circle, and finally stopped.
It looks very smooth, with beautiful textures, like a round gem that has solidified for many years.
But if you take a closer look, the mottled texture inside looks like a giant eyeball.
The moment it encountered the impact of the landing, it seemed to come alive and blinked its vertical pupils.
After the rotation stopped, the spotted pupils became petrified again. Lying quietly on the deck of the airship, looking at the sky, he became like a dead object, frozen in time.
"Here is the key." Ni Ji pointed to the distant sky, "I have already opened the door."
Looking in the direction of his fingertips, a door-shaped hole was opening in the distant sky.
It was as if a hole had been cut in the dusky canvas, a hole leading to another world, a door to life.
Although the door looks a little far away, the dark entrance in the distance is the hope of life.
"The key! He got the key!"
"Look there, it's the door. It's open, and we can go out."
The wounded sentinels hugged each other and cheered.
The guides may not fully understand the meaning of these terms, but the experienced sentinels are already extremely surprised.
The conditions for entering the contaminated area are very arbitrary, but getting out is extremely difficult. The only way is to find the "key" to get out and use the key to open the "door".
Sometimes, you are walking on the road normally, but when you take a step, you look up and find yourself inexplicably trapped in a completely unfamiliar and strange space.
This is the contaminated area that now covers the entire planet.
The contaminated area always appears suddenly and then keeps expanding. It devours everything silently and greedily, like a blood-sucking worm attached to the planet, squeezing out the space for humans and all living things to survive.
Any creature that is Devoured by it will find it almost impossible to find a way out.
They can only hopelessly remain in that chaotic world, being painfully and slowly polluted and eroded, until they become a part of them, becoming a twisted and strange mutant.
Only those veterans who have risked their lives to go deep into contaminated areas for many years know the trick to find the key in such a place.
In short, they now have the "key" to escape and see the door to survive.
The airship ran at full power, dragging its damaged hull as it flew with all its might towards the "door".
The heads of those people that were previously held down by Lin Yuan were slapped away by the killer whale's big tail and scattered all over the sky.
Of course they were not dead. They even woke up quickly and began to gather again, gathering into a dark cloud.
The Snowy Owl spread its wings, grabbed Ni Ji's clothes with its beak, and pulled hard.
Ni Ji stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the door, saying only two words, "You go first. Take them away."
The owl did not dare to disobey his order and had to get up and fly. Following its lead, the airship flew hurriedly towards the door.
Ni Ji turned the fish's head around and went in the opposite direction, heading towards the black cloud that was chasing him closely from behind.
The dark mass of heads was densely packed, covering the sky and the ground.
Ni Ji took out a bottle of inducer from his pocket.
He suddenly felt like laughing, and almost wanted to laugh out loud three times at this familiar scene.
At one point I thought I would never use this thing again.
Sometimes, Ni Ji would think of the dead souls and the faces of the brothers who could trust him back.
There were many people around him.
With friends and brothers, it's always lively and noisy.
I don't know why, but I have ended up in such a miserable state now, all alone and without anyone to rely on.
When he was in school, he was surrounded by countless classmates, training together and winning competitions together.
But there was one time when he refused a private job that the principal secretly assigned to him.
That job was too dirty and involved the life of a child. He refused to obey and even caused damage. From then on, the relationship between teacher and student was completely broken, and soon all the brothers around him left for various reasons.
When we arrived at the northern outpost, the environment was terrible.
But life was happier than in Sentinel Academy. Soon, I had a group of friends who would stand by me through thick and thin.
He just didn't know why, but those people disappeared again, walking away so quickly, one by one, all dying in front of his eyes.
It doesn't seem so bad. Ni Ji smiled sarcastically, at least there is no one around to stop him now.
No one would hold his hand, call him captain, and stop him from doing stupid things. No one would get angry and disagree with him pouring inducer on his head.
As a lonely ghost, I can finally do whatever I want to die.
Ni Ji opened the bottle cap of the inducer with one hand.
Something icy and cold came out from somewhere, wrapped around his arm, crawled over his wrist, and stuck to the back of his hand.
It's... the feeling at that time.
Ni Ji was stunned, and felt half of his body was numb.
The little tentacle that had crawled onto the back of his hand was not as moist as usual, and it was panting dryly, as if it was very tired. It pinched the skin on the back of Ni Ji's hand with its wet little suction cup.
A consciousness that is not a standard language is transmitted through the skin.
【Throw it away.】
Tentacles? Not very happily.
Ni Ji had never been influenced by others in such a dangerous battlefield. He was a madman who acted arbitrarily at critical moments.
The tired little tentacle raised itself up impatiently and slapped the back of the strong hand hard.
Actually it doesn't hurt, the guide's spiritual body doesn't have much physical attack power.
But inexplicably, it felt like a whip mark was left there, and the burning sensation was clear and abrupt.
The hand that was steady as a rock even when lifting a heavy weapon was inexplicably loosened by the blow, and he failed to hold the small bottle tightly, allowing it to fall from the air with its mouth open.
The attractant is a transparent liquid that is scattered in the air. It will have no effect unless it is applied to a living creature.
Ni Ji looked at the flying liquid falling all the way down, and looked back somewhat unresponsive.
Behind him, at the tail of the airship, Lin Yuan found a ladder from somewhere and climbed up from the broken gap, panting.
The wind was blowing hard above the airship. She barely grasped a handle there and pulled it up to expose her head.
"Come back." she said.
【Come back.】
【Hurry up. 】
【Don't act coquettishly. 】
【Be obedient.】
[Tired to death]
【Let me touch it quickly. 】
The chattering consciousnesses are transmitted into the mind almost at the same time.
There were some chaotic sounds in between.
Several tentacles whose shapes were not clearly visible appeared on the huge killer whale's tail at some point.
The tentacles drooped tiredly on the killer whale's smooth tail, as if trying to draw some restorative energy from their favorite big toy.
Then the killer whale, the spiritual body of Ni Ji, began to disregard the wishes of its original body, shyly turned its head, and followed the airship with its tail swaying.
Ni Ji began to wonder if she was crazy.
He felt that perhaps he had already fallen into a frenzy and was living in a mentally disturbed world without knowing it.
Otherwise, why would I know it's irrational, but still feel an unconcealable joy in my heart?
This is a battlefield, and the fierce battle will not be eased by changes in emotions.
The first batch of heads that were caught had transformed into mouthparts that looked like spears. They no longer acted independently. Instead, they formed a neat angular matrix in the air, and rushed down from a high altitude in unison with the force of the charge.
They fell one after another and supported each other.
He vowed to drive the man who fell at the stern of the boat through with a whale's nail.
It was as if someone was commanding the dark mass of monsters. They also knew that they should concentrate their firepower on killing this newly joined powerful force first, and the remaining soldiers on the ship would be their meal.
Ni Ji drew the short knife from his waist.
The blade passed across his own palm like flowing water, and a red mark flowed out along the tip of the knife, trailing in the wind.
The short white blade was stained with his blood, and a strange laugh came from the handle. The bloodstained short white blade changed in an instant, and finally solidified into a long sword of an enchanting red color.
Ni Ji raised the knife, put his head around it, and used the arch of his foot to attack the array of human heads.
The moment he flew up, he suddenly thought he saw the moon.
The sky was dim and the false figure seemed to disappear in that instant.
A silvery, cold, mysterious star appeared, hanging quietly high in the night sky.
Looking down, the cold moonlight is shining, illuminating all living things on earth.
It is a spiritual picture, who has developed such a huge spiritual power.
Something was not right about this battle, Ni Ji discovered.
His knife is much faster.
It's not that the knife is fast, it's that the enemy's movements are slow!
Ni Ji fell back onto the whale's back, his sword in front of him.
A large number of heads were chopped into pieces and fell to the ground like rain.
The tentacles slowly withdrew from the shadows and returned to the killer whale's huge body with him, exhausted.
【Hurry up, little fish.】
[I am almost dying of exhaustion. ]
【I want to take a break. 】
[Make way, give me a hand, and save my life. 】
It turned out to be her.
Is she helping me?
No, she is behind me, watching everything, controlling everything, and fighting alongside me.
It was as if I was in my own home turf. The wind in the sky, the invisible moon, the tentacles surging in the dark, and the one standing behind me, staring at me silently, were all fighting alongside me.
Obviously alone.
But at this moment, it seems like it is still the same as before, with partners by my side and comrades behind me.
When she first saw the guide in the chaotic cabin, her pale face was covered in blood and sweat. Ni Ji felt a little uncomfortable.
No matter what, I came in and rescued her, he thought.
Save her. That was my thought at that time.
Can you save a soft and kind-hearted guide who has fighting ability?
But the guide said to him, "Come back."
Come back and we'll fight together.
Ni Ji stood on the back of the whale and could clearly feel the person behind him without looking back.
Silence, stillness, and being steadfast with yourself.
The blood in my heart began to heat up, having completely cooled down.
They were rivals back then, and in the spiritual sea, she was a formidable and difficult enemy.
Guide, the one who restrains the sentinel. Tentacle, the monster in the ocean, the enemy of the killer whale.
Who could have thought that one day, when her status changed and she stood beside him, she would be such a compatible comrade-in-arms.
Ni Ji stood up and fought again.
The afterimages of the blood-red knife light crisscrossed in mid-air, interweaving into a torture net that strangled and killed all flesh and blood.
A huge whale was following closely in front and behind him.
Large pieces of black clouds broke apart and fell like rain.
They clung to the tail of the airship, guarding the lives of everyone on board.
Lin Yuan leaned against the stern of the boat, watching attentively the man and the whale fighting among the group of monsters.
The exit is almost here, and those mutants are becoming extremely manic, rushing up in waves madly and without regard for their lives.
But Lin Yuan felt different. It was not like before, when he had the strength but could not use it, feeling frustrated and depressed.
Battle is full of dangers, like walking barefoot on a knife's edge.
It was very dangerous and forced her to concentrate.
Perhaps one mistake, a slight deviation, and the sentinel would die tragically before his eyes.
Then, all of them will be swallowed up by the dark monster, swallowed up in the last section of the journey near the exit.
But they work very well together, don't they?
If they hadn't made a single mistake, they wouldn't have had to die.
Lin Yuan felt that such danger made a little feeling called excitement surge in his numb heart.
Cooperating with such a strong man, she grew up quickly, learning and absorbing combat experience as eagerly as a sponge.
Fighting is comfortable and exhilarating, and it makes your blood boil.
The more we cooperate, the more comfortable we become.
Everything is because of that sentinel.
A stronger and more suitable Sentinel. Or, in other words, a Sentinel more suitable for her mental strength.
Cooperating with such a strong person allows her to exert her mental strength freely and comfortably.
She found herself gradually, bit by bit, learning to take control of the situation.
Use less mental energy.
That sentinel has a strong body and amazing fighting ability.
Most importantly, he can keep up with every bit of his mental fluctuations.
It's like two people sailing together in the sea. Without words, each can feel each other's subtle thoughts through the waves.
He can feel it and can execute it with great power.
As if he could sense what she was thinking.
The sentry in midair turned his head and looked.
Lin Yuan stretched out his hand towards him, made a tactical gesture, and pointed downward.
That was the gesture she had seen in Ni Ji's memory, a common one used by sentries like Ni Ji on the battlefield.
She learned it secretly.
On such a battlefield, use it like a warrior.
Ni Ji laughed and jumped off the whale's back.
The mutants have a leader, and Lin Yuan's gestures told him that he was hiding right below, so he should kill it.
The sentry jumped off the whale's back without hesitation, falling rapidly in the air with the blood-red long knife in hand.
The orange-red sunlight shone on his thin figure, leaving his wild laughter in the afterglow of the setting sun.
An endless stream of monsters flew out from the black tower in mid-air, rushing towards the hot flesh and blood that they coveted so much.
No one noticed that there was a particularly huge mutant with half of its head destroyed, hiding far away under the black cloud where the monsters gathered.
It was the intelligent mutant with the face of a middle-aged man who had raided Lin Yuan several times without success.
At this moment, the monster was hiding stealthily in the safest place below. The only eye left on its bloated face was spinning around with a resentful look.
It felt very hungry, and its broken body made it even hungrier. The hunger tormented it to the core.
Although it has no heart and no lungs, it still has strong desire and pain in its fuzzy brain.
It wanted to tear those people apart, penetrate them, and drain the hot blood from their bodies to soothe its own pain that would never stop.
It drove and mobilized all the ignorant partners to rush forward wave after wave.
At this moment, a bloody long knife suddenly fell from the sky with a huge downward force.
There was hardly any obstruction, and the entire long knife penetrated into the huge head.
Ni Ji held the knife in both hands, squatted down, stepped on the broken brain, and twisted it with both hands. The red light of the knife overflowed in all directions, breaking the hard monster into pieces.
The shattered eyes of the mutant fell blankly.
The sky and the earth turned upside down, and it looked at the dim sky as it fell.
Strangely, the pain seemed to disappear.
It looked at the illusory city hanging in the sky, and suddenly felt that the twinkling lights were strangely familiar.
It feels so familiar there, as if it used to be my home.
…
After the giant mutant shattered, the monsters in the sky lost their command and scattered in all directions.
Although there were still a few people chasing the airship, they were independent and disorganized, and were no longer a deadly threat on the escape route.
Ni Ji smashed the huge head, holding a long knife in his hand, and fell down on his back.
A thrilling battle.
The heart in my chest is beating vigorously, and my chest is rising and falling.
The cold blood heated up again.
It almost made him want to laugh out loud.
As he was falling, he saw a small head sticking out from the tail of the airship.
He smiled at the guide, who was also looking down at him.
Such a guide.
Such a guide.
If, if only I could be the one standing by her side forever.
The killer whale swooped down from the sky and caught Ni Ji who was falling.
My back touched the killer whale's back, and I stepped on the ground. The feeling of weightlessness when falling disappeared, and my floating heart fell back to its original place.
Ni Ji closed his eyes for a moment and gave a bitter smile to himself.
He almost wanted to slap himself in the face.
She saved your life and helped you, but you want to drag her into the abyss with you.
The orange-red sun hangs in the sky. Flying debris floats everywhere. It's like an exciting dream.
The killer whale carried him upwards, flying towards the real world.
He looked at Lin Yuan's fair and bright face all the way. He hurriedly cut open his chest and stuffed all the hot fighting spirit, throbbing heartbeat, and messy shame and desire back in.
Stuff it in and seal it.
He refused to reveal any clues.
