Chapter 335

"This is our base." Gao Yuancheng stopped outside a defensive fortification and explained the next arrangements to the two people driving behind him via radio. "We will return to the base first. You still need to pass some inspection procedures here before entering. After all, even if we have brought you here directly, we still have to ensure the safety of the base."

"We understand your actions," Kirshtalia responded calmly, "but will we get guidance on the inspection process?"

"Of course we will provide you with process guidance." Xue Baidong chuckled and added to Kirshtalia, "However, there may be a few inspection procedures missing today, so you can only stay at the outermost part of the base. You will be eligible to go to other areas of the base after completing these procedures tomorrow."

So after the Winter Group's van disappeared from Kirshtalia and Kadok's sight, the defensive fortifications in front of the two suddenly began to move - after completing the arrangement and reorganization, an entrance that they could drive in was revealed; at the same time, the voice of Shejin Wanli was heard from the communicator.

"Are you the ones brought back by the Winter Group?" Taketsun Manri lazily gave instructions to the two of them, "Go in, and go wherever there is a road - we don't have such a large area to inspect the area alone, so we can only trouble you to go around in circles in the fortifications. Someone will notify you when it's over, that's it."

"...That is to say, until the next midnight, the base will be missing one layer of defense and two levels of testing." Inside the base, Furuichi Sakyo stared at the six members of the Winter Team who had just returned, thinking seriously about how to preach to these guys who were trapped in a group of zombies after going out. "By the way, the testing has already begun - Xuebai should go back to the infirmary and wait. As for the others..."

"Forget it." Ruri Kawaki spread his hands and interrupted the long speech that Furuichi Sakyo was about to start. "At worst, we can let Lucifer's flames surround the base as a defense. Or you can go and rub the triangular magic lamp and make a wish to the demon in the lamp to end Tsumugi's rejection stage early."

"Then forget it." Furuichi Sakyo looked at Ruri Kawaki speechlessly, "Aladdin's lamp can only be used three times, there's no need to waste it in a place like this - no matter what happens to other people, as long as midnight passes, everything will be back to normal; but the number of times the lamp can be used will not be reset, so you'd better be more cautious when using it."

"By the way, now that you're all back, let's put back the defense barriers that were temporarily removed earlier... Let me confirm once again, except for Tsukioka, the other members who participated in "The Devil Imprisoned in Eternity" should not have used the powers belonging to those characters, right?"

“No, no, who would change into the role of the devil when Lucifer can solve the problem on his own?” Arisugawa Yoshi complained, “Our script is not the type of ‘friendship-bound passion’ that the Spring and Summer groups go together when something happens. Ours is a sad and depressive script, you know? Wait…”

"We are all adults." Takato Cheng looked speechlessly at Arisugawa Yoshi, who was about to write poetry again, and sighed to Furuichi Sakyo, "We know that the defense of the base is all supported by our roles - space police and angels, these are our roles, no matter what, we will not let the base be completely exposed to danger."

"But you encountered a large group of zombies this time." Furuichi Sakyo calmly stated the facts to the few people and provided a solution. "The next mission of going out should be handed over to us, the Aki Group. If you want to go out in the future, it would be better to at least bring a few co-performers with you to prevent such a situation from happening again."

"Okay, let's disband."

"You've passed." When Kadoc was about to suspect that the other party was playing a trick on him, Furuichi Sakyo's voice came out from the communicator, "According to the previous instructions, you only have permission to pass through the perimeter of the base - please receive a certificate at the entrance of the base. The certificate is printed with the number of your temporary residence today."

"If you want to learn about the development history of the base, please pick up a brochure at the unmanned newsstand outside the isolation wall at the junction of the Summer Division and the base perimeter. Dinner will be delivered to your temporary residence by a meal delivery robot for two people. Please do not leave the perimeter of the base at will. After completing the last two tests tomorrow, you will be allowed to move freely within the base."

"Of course, it is also not recommended that you two leave at night - the wasteland at night is much more dangerous than during the day."

"Then I wish you all a pleasant evening here."

After entering the Mankai base, Kirshtalia changed the working system in the communicator to communicate with Kadoc about the mission through text, in order to prevent the residents in the special point from discovering the abnormality and causing their mission to get out of control.

"Is this the house?" Kadoc compared the house number printed on the certificate and called Kirshtalia, "Should we go in directly, or..."

"I want to get the brochure first," Kirshtalia replied to Kadoc, "obtaining the information is a necessary action."

"Then I'll go with you." Kadoc put the certificate back into his pocket and walked quickly in front of Kirshtalia. "I have memorized the map of the outer perimeter. Although there is a wall separating the outer perimeter from the normal living area, if we accidentally go to the other side, we will be in big trouble."

When the two of them took the brochure and returned to their temporary residence, the automatic food delivery robot also delivered their dinner.

"Hmm..." Kadoc took today's dinner off the robot, looked at the robot's back as it flew away, and asked Kirshtalia, "Wodym, this robot——"

A new message from Kirshtalia popped up on Kadoc's communicator.

"Kirshtalia: Rather than being a technologically advanced robot, it's more like a familiar made by an alchemist - it's just that its appearance is a robot."

"Cadoch: They played the Alchemist?"

"Kirshtalia: Didn't you go to see their stage play at that time? The third performance of the New Spring Group, "The Wind-up Heart" - tells the story of the friendship between an alchemist who violated the taboo of creating life and made a homunculus as a friend for himself. "

"Kirshtalia: But I feel that this convenient prop should not be made by the main actor. The main actor of "Wind-up Heart", Minamiki Tsuna, is also the exclusive scriptwriter of the Mankai Theater Company. In the context of this peculiarity, she should be a member who is protected. Because the playwright is the source of strength of the entire theater company."

"Let's eat first." Kirshtalia raised her dinner to Kadoc, smiled and winked, "After eating, we will go to read the brochure. After their enthusiastic introduction, we should have a clear understanding of the most basic "current situation". After reading the brochure, we can really summarize and analyze the situation."

"Even if we have to prioritize finding the lost teammates later, we still have to get well before we set off."

At the same time, new people came to the GOD base.

"We have a place to stay tonight." Olgamari looked around the room and asked Lenis, who finally came together with her, "Should we go out to find other people tomorrow, or should we stay in this base for a while and live as members of this base?"

"I think it would be better to have a stable place to stay - after all, whether we are investigating or not investigating, we need a place where we can rest stably and compile information." Lenis sat on the bed and looked at Olga Marie with a smile, "I don't care, but you probably can't accept a life of eating only compressed biscuits all day long and having no place to sleep."

"Ha..." Olgamari smiled bitterly at Leness while holding her forehead. "The Lord's familiar nutrition meal may taste bad, but at least it gives me a feeling of having eaten compared to compressed biscuits. And, speaking of sleeping... indeed, a bed is a necessity for me."

"So we should stay here for now." Lenis shrugged at Olgamari and decided on the future arrangements for the two of them. "After all, even though there are other bases, we don't know how far this place is from other bases. Since this place is willing to accept us, there is no need for us to leave here and look for other bases."

"You're right." Olgamari nodded, agreeing with Lenise. "But Lenise - what do you think about the current situation?"

"We'll discuss this in detail after dinner." Lenis sighed and stood up from the bed. "The only thing we can be sure of now is that this world is not 'normal' - Ritsuka's worries are justified. As for other issues, we'll have to wait until we sort out all the intelligence we've received today to find out."

"As for the others - let's not talk about the fact that no one in Chaldea can compare to Ritsuka's experience in the field of lord protection, but the lord protection this time are all excellent magicians, I think there should be no problem in protecting themselves." Lenis followed Olgamari out of the dormitory room, "They are not magicians like my dear brother - we are all magicians with at least five generations of inheritance."

"Strictly speaking, they are researchers who have had the intention to embark on the path of magic since the first generation - they are not magicians who inherited the talent but only began to realize that they are researchers in this generation."

"Mysteries need to be accumulated and solidified continuously. The speed of accumulation and solidification of mysteries is different for researchers with awareness and researchers without awareness." Lenis sighed helplessly, "Although my dear brother is a third-generation magician, he can only be regarded as the 'beginning' - the first two generations did not fill the seal with mysteries or inject their own research results."

"Ah, is it the seal stored in the underground warehouse?" Olgamari blinked and sighed softly, "No wonder it's just an empty rectangle - indeed, if we look at it this way, at least we don't have to worry about the safety of others. However, the night is more dangerous than the day... I hope they can find a safe place to rest."
