Chapter 1290 Evacuation

Melita didn't hear Gao Wen whispering clearly. She just circled around the "central area" with tall towers and began to adjust the direction and flew towards the direction she was when she came.

"We have limited time," she said with regret. "The scale of this 'home port' is too amazing. Even if everyone can fly like me, it is not easy to detect the entire sky above the home port within twelve hours, let alone the intricate underground structures and many blocked facilities and dangerous areas below."

"Go back first," Gao Wen said in a deep voice. "Since that spacecraft is cruising according to fixed procedures, we can send more investigators to explore the place. But to be honest, this makes me feel uncomfortable..."

"Not very down-to-earth?" Melita turned her head slightly, "What are you referring to?"

"The 'Sentinel System', this home port and that spacecraft are essentially still part of the sentinel system. We cannot control it, but we can only follow the cruising ship. But maybe when this system will change other changes, such as the spacecraft changing its cruise procedures... I don't like this uncontrollable situation, especially behind all this, there is an out-of-control 'sentinel'."

"I think I understand your concerns," Melita said in a low voice, "but this is a problem we have to face. There are so many things in our world that are beyond the imagination of mortals, and the legacy of the Setter is one of them. This advanced civilization... They have saved this planet, but the huge machines they left behind are becoming more and more terrifying and dangerous to us today, especially these machines are now having problems... Do you know? This reminds me of a holographic story from Tallond a long time ago..."

"Holographic Story?"

"Similar to your magic drama, but it's a little more immersive," Melita explained casually, "that story tells the end of the rat world after the end of the end of the rat world, and a group of mice living deep in the industrial area became the new owner of the world. They live in a huge old factory, treating the machines that run automatically in the factory as gods. As time goes by, various equipment in the factory continues to age, and the small and weak mice face the increasingly abnormal giant machines every day, thinking of various ways to please them, or 'repair' them, and even ignite incense to try to communicate the 'machine soul'. However, the machines still age and collapse day by day. In the vision of the mice, the factory, their entire 'world' is about to usher in the doomsday, the doomsday after the doomsday..."

She turned her neck and turned her head: "It's actually a very old-fashioned thriller spoof story, but I like to collect such outdated old holographic disks. Unfortunately, the holographic disks I have collected are gone, otherwise I must take you to see... In those ancient times, Tallond has created a lot of good things."

Listening to Melita's chattering, Gao Wen just kept silent while thinking for a long time. Until the horizon of the steel land appeared in the distance, and the canopy of the giant reincarnation tree stood majestic at the end of his vision like a mountain. He slowly said as if he was talking to himself: "We are not mice."

Melita was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, she had a faint smile in her tone: "Yes, we are not rats, nor can we be rats."

Gowen and Melita returned to the wreckage area of ​​the giant tree of reincarnation, and successfully met with Amber, Victoria and others who were waiting here, and met Daniel and Mary who had just returned from the depths of the wreckage. After everyone gathered, he told everyone about the details and speculations he and Melita saw in heaven.

"...The above is what Melita and I saw," Gao Wen looked at Amber and others gathered in front of him in front of him, and said slowly. "It can be confirmed that the home port should have six spacecraft... or warships, but now five of them and their corresponding port maintenance facilities have been destroyed. The reason is mostly because of system conflicts caused by anti-tide pollution."

Melita, who was standing by, nodded: "I guess it was not done instantly when the home port was polluted against the tide. The sentry system also had fierce resistance and was very likely to have made a self-destructive decision in the event of a failure of resistance. However, it was too late at that time. The out-of-control mind had seized too much authority, so that the main structure of the home port itself and a spacecraft were preserved intact... Now all the 'normal parts' in the sentry system have been completely destroyed by the out-of-control mind."

Gao Wen nodded silently, approving Melita's judgment, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

When he just learned the truth about the "Sentinel", he actually had some hope in his heart. He hoped that this ancient set of sailors' heritage would have room for rescue. He hoped that some things that could be useful could be left in the sentinel system, such as the subsystem that was cut out in critical moments. However, the shocking wreckage at other ports forced him to dispel all fantasies... The sentinel system is finished, and the out-of-control mind has destroyed all uninfected parts of this system. All that is left is the "toxic body" that has been completely eroded by the anti-tide.

The new truth was so shocking that no one at the scene spoke for a while, but after a few seconds, Amber could not help but break the silence: "Actually, this is a good thing. When the sentry broke out of control, he killed five-sixths of his spaceship and blasted the corresponding ports and maintenance equipment. It was equivalent to hitting himself half dead with one punch. Even if one day it restarted the spaceship, what we had to deal with was not a whole fleet..."

Amber's thinking is always so optimistic. Her heartless look is indeed a little relaxed, but Victoria, who always has a stern face next to her, used the cold fact to extinguish the enthusiasm of the half-elves: "Is the situation really changing? For today's mortal countries, it is probably not much different whether the main warships left by the civilization of the Settler level are one or six. Moreover, compared with that spacecraft, this "home port" may be the most threatening force of the sentry. With our current technology, even if this home port is left here without resistance, we will probably have to demolish it slowly for thousands of years..."

Amber suddenly opened his mouth and stopped talking. Modir, who was standing by, sighed after seriously thinking about the "home port" that could not be seen at first sight and the current mortal civilization: "In short, I can't beat it... I can't beat it even if I can't hold it."

As soon as this said, Gao Wen and Amber immediately looked at the big adventurer with strange eyes, which made Modil feel a little confused: "Uh... Did I say something wrong?"

"...That's not," Gao Wen touched his chin awkwardly, "Just heard your words suddenly remind you of something else, don't care."

Victoria, who was standing by, had a rare hint of embarrassment on her face. As a descendant of the Wilder family, she had also devoted herself to studying the "Travels of Modir" left by her ancestors. At this moment, she naturally recalled some things that were disrespectful to her ancestors, so she immediately coughed twice, and looked to the side while changing the topic: "Your Majesty, what are we going to do next? Should we continue to search the depths of the giant tree of reincarnation? Or should we start exploring the settler facilities near the home port?"

"...We'll return," Gao Wen looked towards the port, and after a little hesitation, he had to order to leave. Although the secrets buried in the home port made him want to continue investigating here, the spacecraft that operates strictly according to the procedures will not take into account the wishes of a group of "smugglers", and the number of supplies they carried this time was limited. "We can continue to send people to explore here. We can also make a long-term plan for the sentinel matter after we go back, and that spacecraft will not wait for people."

Victoria bowed her head and took the order: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then...what should I do here?" Amber looked around and his eyes finally fell on the small wooden house in front of him. Her eyes passed through the open door and looked at the flower vine in the cottage and the pink and white flowers on the flower vine. "I mean...what should I do 'them'? Let's leave them here?"

In fact, there is no need for Amber to remind him, and Gao Wen did not forget what happened in the hut. He looked at the twin flowers in the wooden house, as if he had seen two pioneers standing opposite him against his own destiny after hundreds of years: "We shouldn't leave them here."

"But how should we take them away?" Mary, who had never spoken much in the team and had been following behind honestly, couldn't help but break the silence, and her voice seemed quite nervous. She had just learned about the Elf Gemini from Carmier, and the look when she looked at the hut seemed a little sad, "I mean... if you pick the flowers or pull the vine down, will it hurt them instead?"

"...This is really my blind spot in knowledge," Gao Wen sighed helplessly, "It would be great if Amoen was here, he would definitely know this."

He shook his head, and just as he finished speaking, an invisible wind suddenly blew across the surroundings. The shrubs and flowers and plants attached to the remains of the giant trees of reincarnation suddenly swayed slightly, and a small rustling sound came from all directions.

Everyone was immediately attracted by the change, and while Gao Wen heard a sound deep in his mind, he heard a strange and low voice vaguely sounding, far away but clear: "Take them away..."

"Did you hear any sound?" Gao Wen immediately looked around and said in a low tone.

"Voice? Didn't hear it," Amber suddenly raised his ears, and his pointed elf's long ears shook sensitively in the air, "...I heard nothing."

Gao Wen didn't say anything, but just frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the cabin. The sound that suddenly appeared in his mind had disappeared, as if it had never appeared, but Gao Wen didn't think there was something wrong with his judgment.

He walked towards the cottage, and Amber hurriedly followed in two steps: "Hey, what are you going to do?"

"Take them with you," Gao Wen stepped over the door and looked at the two small flowers blooming quietly on the vine. "Immediately after I go back."

"Ah...but how do you bring it?" Amber subconsciously pulled out his two treasure daggers, but when he walked to Hua Teng, he was in trouble. "Just pull it down or..."

"Try to bring the vine with you as completely as possible... peel it from the root," Gawain glanced at the vine that seemed to be fused with the pillars of the cottage. "It should not be difficult for you."

"Okay, it's not difficult...Okay." Amber muttered casually, and raised the dagger in his hand and began to peel off the vines wrapped around the pillars quickly but finely. The two pink and white flowers hanging at the end of the vines shook slightly with her movements, silent but seemed to respond. During this period, Amber looked up and curled her lips, "Hold on, I try not to hurt you... I'm so stupid, I actually chatted with the flower..."

Niandao, Amber's movements were extremely fast, and she peeled off the pillar in almost the blink of an eye. At the same time, Victoria also walked into the house. She glanced at the "results" of Amber, then stepped forward and quickly gathered the falling vine and flowers, while carefully avoiding damage. Finally, she quickly drew a few runes above the coiled vine. The thick ice instantly generated out of thin air, frozen the two flowers and vines together.

"This ensures that there is no damage to life," Victoria nodded to Gowan, "I often use this method to preserve all kinds of creatures, from plants to nephews, and it is very successful."

Modir, who followed behind and walked into the house, saw this scene and murmured to himself: "I seemed to be like this back then..."

Gao Wen nodded to Victoria, turned around and walked out of the house: "Let's leave now and then don't have much time."

The group walked out of the hut and was about to walk towards the port spaceship, but Amber seemed to suddenly find something, and widened his eyes and pointed at a distance: "Hey! Look!"

Gao Wen immediately looked up and saw a bush not far away withering rapidly in front of him.

Rust came from around.

Everyone looked around. Wherever they saw, the plants, fruit bushes and shrubs that grew from the remains of the giant tree of reincarnation were all withering and decaying at an astonishing speed. With the small wooden house of Sister Firna as the center, the remaining vitality in this giant tree was rapidly dissipating.

It was like a garden that had been stagnated for hundreds of years, quickly dying in just a few minutes.

The nursery that the Firna sisters had carefully taken care of also withered, and the vines that were tangled around the nursery also broke and fell down. The rustling sound of the plants drying and falling quickly became a piece. At the center of all this, Amber finally blinked: "All the vitality here is just for..."

A huge sound of drying and breaking wooden structures came from a distance, and the sound was like thunder, interrupting Amber's words.

"The crown is about to collapse!" Gao Wen quickly reacted, "evacuate immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, Melita had already turned into a dragon-shaped shape in a brilliant light curtain, and her low and majestic voice rang in the open space: "Come on! Let's fly out directly!"

The loud bang of the broken wooden structure kept coming from the surroundings, filling the entire port area like increasingly dense thunder. The entire ground trembled slightly. In the distance, the edge of the canopy of the giant tree of the reincarnation tree, faint smoke and dust had begun to rise, and the fragile branch structure continued to collapse in everyone's sight!
