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 survival.
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 his 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.
那只爬到他手?背上的小?小?觸手?不像平時?那般水潤飽滿，幹憋憋氣喘籲籲的樣子，似乎十分疲憊。它用濕潤的小?小?吸盤掐了一下?倪霁手?背的皮膚。
從肌膚上就傳遞過來一道并非标準語言的意識。
【丢掉。】
觸手?不太高興地說。
倪霁從不曾在這樣千鈞一發的危險戰場受過別人的影響。他是一個在關鍵的時?候，獨斷專行的狂徒。
疲憊的小?觸手?很不耐煩地擡起身，啪一下?狠狠抽在那結實的手?背上。
其?實并不疼，向導的精神體?沒?有多少?物理上的攻擊力。
只是莫名地，像在那裏留了一道鞭痕，火辣辣的燒灼感覺清晰而突兀。
擡起重火器都能穩如磐石的那只手?，莫名就被打得松了一下?，竟然沒?拿好那個小?小?瓶子，讓它就這樣敞着口，一路從空中掉下?去了。
誘導劑盈透的液體?灑在空中，它們?如果不是塗抹在活着的生物身上就發揮不了什麽作用。
倪霁看着一路下?墜的飛液，有些反應不過來地回頭看去。
在身後?，飛艇的尾部?，林苑不知從哪裏找了條梯子，剛剛氣喘籲籲地從破了的缺口內爬上來，
飛艇上方，風刮得很大，她勉強握住一個那裏的把手?，扒拉着露出腦袋。
“你回來。”她說。
【回來。】
【快點。】
【別撒嬌。】
【聽話。】
【累得要死】
【快給我摸摸。】
七嘴八舌的意識體?幾乎同時?傳遞進腦海中。
中間夾着着一些混亂的聲音。
巨大的虎鯨尾巴上，不知道什麽時?候爬上來了好幾條看不太清楚身形的觸手?。
觸手?們?疲憊的，有力沒?氣地耷拉在虎鯨光潔的尾巴上，仿佛想從它們?喜歡的大玩具上汲取一點恢複的能量。
于是那條虎鯨，那個屬于倪霁的精神體?。就又開始不顧本體?的意願，羞澀地調轉魚頭，搖擺着尾巴跟着飛艇去了。
倪霁開始懷疑自己是不是瘋了。
他覺得或許自己早已經陷入了狂化狀态，活在一個精神混亂的世界之中，自己卻還不知道。
否則，為什麽會這樣明知不理智，卻還在心底悄悄生出一點掩不住的……高興。
這裏是戰場，兇險的戰鬥并不會因?為情緒的變化而緩和?，
第一批追到的人頭已經變幻出長|槍一樣的口器。它們?不再各自為政。而是在空中排成了整齊的角型的矩陣，借着沖鋒的力度從高處齊刷刷沖刺下?來。
前仆後?繼地，相互側應。
誓要将墜在船尾的那一個人一條鯨釘死貫穿。
仿佛有誰在指揮起黑壓壓的怪物群。讓它們?也知道，先?集中火力幹掉這個新加入的強大戰力，那一船的殘兵就會是它們?的盤中餐。
倪霁拔出腰上那柄短刀。
流水似的刀鋒抹過他自己的手?掌，一抹紅痕順着刀尖流出，長長地拉在風中。
那短短的白刃沾了他的血，刀柄處竟發出一點古怪的笑聲。染血的短短白刃順間變幻，最?終凝固成一柄紅得妖異的長刀。
倪霁舉刀纏頭，足弓發力，向那人頭矩陣攻去。
他在飛身而起的瞬間，恍然覺得自己看見了月亮。
天?空昏黃虛假的背影在那一瞬間仿佛消失了。
一個銀白，冷寂，神秘的星體?出現?，靜靜地高懸夜空。
垂眸俯視，清冷的月光鋪灑，照着大地萬千生靈之上。
是精神圖景，有誰展開了如此龐大的精神力。
這場戰鬥有些不太對，倪霁發現?。
他的刀快了很多。
不是刀快，是敵人的動?作慢了！
倪霁落回鯨背，橫刀在前。
一大片的人頭被斬的稀碎，紛紛揚揚如雨墜落。
觸手?們?稀裏嘩啦啦地從陰影中收回來，有力沒?氣地和?他一道回到虎鯨龐大的身軀上。
【搞快點。小?魚。】
【快累死老子了。】
【我要歇一局。】
【讓一讓，給我撸一把，續命。】
原來是她。
是她在幫我？
不對，她是在我身後?，看着一切，控制着一切，和?我并肩而戰。
仿佛身在一片屬于自己的主場。天?上的風，無形的月，隐隐湧動?在暗處的觸手?們?，和?那個站在身後?，沉默注視着自己的目光都在和?自己并肩戰鬥。
明明是孤身一人。
這時?候卻好像還在從前，身邊有夥伴，身後?有戰友。
最?初在一片混亂的艇艙裏看見那個向導，看她蒼白的臉上，一臉的血和?汗。倪霁心裏，有一點的難受。
不管怎麽樣，我進來了，左右把她救出去。他這樣想。
救她。是當時?自己的想法。
救一個柔軟沒?有戰鬥能力心地善良的向導。
可?是向導對他說，“你回來。”
你回來，我們?一起戰鬥。
倪霁站在鯨背上，不用回頭也可?以清晰的感覺到身後?的那個人。
沉默，寂靜，堅定地和?自己在一起。
心頭的一點血熱了起來，從那本來已經徹底冷下?去的地方。
當日互為對手?，在精神海中，她是一個令人畏懼難纏的敵人。
向導，克制哨兵之人。觸手?，海洋中的怪物，虎鯨相争之敵。
誰能想到，有朝一日，身份改變，她站在自己的身邊的時?候。竟然是如此相合相契的戰友。
倪霁起身再戰。
血紅刀光的殘影縱橫交錯，在半空之中，交織成絞殺一切血肉的刑網。
巨大的鯨魚緊緊追随在他的身前身後?。
大片的黑雲碎裂，如雨似地掉落下?去。
他們?死守着飛艇尾部?，守着一船人的性命。
林苑扒拉在船尾，認真看着那混戰在怪物群中的一人一鯨。
出口了快要到了，那些畸變種們?變得格外?狂躁，瘋狂而不顧性命地一波波湧上來。
但林苑心裏的感覺卻不同了，不像是之前那般，有力卻使不出的憋屈壓抑。
戰鬥險象環生，像赤腳行走在刀鋒上。
很危險，逼着她全神貫注。
或許一次失誤，一點點的偏差，那個哨兵就會慘死在眼前。
然後?他們?所有的人，都會被黑壓壓的怪物吞沒?，吞沒?在接近出口的最?後?一段路程。
但他們?配合得非常好，不是嗎。
他們?沒?有一次失誤，也就不用去死。
林苑覺得，這樣的危險讓自己麻木的心裏湧起一點點名為興奮的感覺。
和?這樣的強者配合，她成長得很快，像海綿一樣如饑似渴地學習和?吸收着戰鬥的經驗。
戰鬥，舒坦暢快，讓人血熱。
配合，嚴絲合縫，越發自如。
一切，都是因?為那個哨兵。
一個更強大，更契合。或者說，更适合她精神力強度的哨兵。
和?這樣的強者配合，讓她的精神力可?以舒暢地自如地發揮。
她發現?自己在逐漸地，一點點地學會控制全場。
用更少?的精神力。
那個哨兵，他有強大的身軀和?驚人的戰鬥力。
最?重要的是，他跟得上自己每一點的精神波動?。
就像兩個人一起遨游在那片海中，不用言語，彼此都能通過海浪感受到對方細微的想法。
他能感受到，且能有強大的能力執行。
仿佛察覺到她的心思一般。
半空中的那個哨兵轉過頭看來。
林苑朝着他，伸出手?做了一個戰術手?勢，向下?一指。
那是她從倪霁的記憶中看到過的，倪霁這樣的哨兵們?在戰場上溝通用的手?勢。
被她偷偷學會了。
在這樣的戰場上，像一個戰士一樣使用出來。
倪霁哈哈一笑，從鯨背上縱身躍下?。
畸變種有一個頭領，林苑的手?勢告訴他，就藏在正下?方，幹掉它。
哨兵毫不猶豫，縱身跳下?鯨背，攜着血紅的長刀在空中極速下?墜。
橙紅的陽光披在那消瘦的身軀上，把他一串張狂的笑聲留在斜陽的餘晖中。
源源不絕的怪物從半空中黑色的城樓中飛來，撲向那些它們?求而不得的炙熱血肉。
沒?有人注意到，其?中有一只特別巨大的，被擊毀了小?半腦袋的畸變種，一直遠遠躲怪物聚集的黑色雲層之下?。
是那個有着智慧，突襲過林苑數次沒?有成功的，有着中年男人面孔的畸變種。
此刻那只怪物鬼祟地躲在最?安全的下?方，臃腫的臉上唯一剩下?的眼睛打着轉，染着怨毒的目光。
它覺得自己很餓，殘破的身軀讓它更加饑餓，挖心挖肺地饑餓一直折磨着他。
雖然它沒?有心也沒?有肺了。只是在那模模糊糊的腦子裏，始終有着強烈的渴望和?痛苦。
它想要撕碎那些人，貫穿她們?，抽幹她們?身體?中炙熱的血，用來撫慰自己永遠不會停止的苦痛。
它驅趕調動?所有懵懂無知的夥伴，一波接着一波地沖上去。
就在這個時?候。一把帶血的長刀攜着下?墜的巨大沖力，突然從天?而降。
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.
