Is it really the Ark of Tomorrow?

The Ring of Decay

“I am not an officer of Ursus, not anymore. I am an infected person.”

Pulling off the collar and cuffs, revealing the thin but clearly visible rough crystals, the white-haired girl looked straight at the weak man in front of her.

“If you want to report on my existence, go ahead and report on it. Maybe you can go to the picket team to earn a bounty.”

“Heh, you can tell at a glance that I don’t deal with the Ursus.”

“Then we are comrades-in-arms in this way? We are also people who don’t want to see Ursus, so we are like-minded, right?”

“……maybe.”

Looking at the white-haired girl with a bright smile and extending her palm, the tired man shook his head.

“I don’t care where you are from, or what your purpose is, this place is very dangerous right now, just forget about its existence, and stay as far away as possible.”

“Wait a minute, but we have to go through here—”

“Do not touch me!”

Talula looked at the man in front of him who was about to turn and leave, and quickly reached out to stop him.

But facing Talu’s outstretched palm, the man instinctively shrank back, and looked at Talula with an inexplicable expression with some vigilance.

Looking at her, she seemed to be a little embarrassed, but after not doing anything more, the man seemed to have just woken up, and quickly found the more core area of ​​Tallulah’s words.

“You mean us?”

“It’s like this. Behind me is a hunting team of infected people.”

Facing the strange Vaifan in front of him, who was out of character both in his demeanor and actions, Tallulah seriously described their current situation.

Although she was very curious about how the man in front of her could scare the black snake, Tallulah wanted to directly or indirectly save the infected people behind her more than the death of the shadow.

My own affairs are not important, after all, I am very lucky to be able to live till now. The original stone disease has already taken root in her body, so sooner or later, she will explode into dust and disappear into the world. Instead of fast-forwarding this doomed ending, it is better to save more people.

Looking at the Vajfan man in front of her, Tallulah cleared her mind and said clearly:

“We met on the way of huntingThere were some accidents, and when I was about to come back, I found these things appeared here, so I just came to explore the way. ”

“…How many people are there in your entire team?”

“There are fifty people in total. They are a large hunting team, specializing in hunting large groups of prey in the northern border.”

“Then I can only tell you with regret that if there are three to five people, I can do it, but if there are more people, for the sake of your lives, it is better to take a detour.”

After hearing Tallulah’s reply, the man who was looming in the mist replied straightforwardly:

“The more people come, the more complicated thoughts will thicken the barrier here. As a result, many things are forced to sneak into deeper layers. If the containment method fails, everything around will be disturbed.”

“…? Let’s make it clearer.”

“This is the most straightforward words. If you understand, you will know how terrible the meaning is, but if you don’t understand, my words are full of all kinds of riddles to you. puzzles and clues. But really, it’s the crispest words.”

After saying something confusing like a tongue twister, the man looked at Talu who had a silly face and didn’t understand what he was saying, he couldn’t help but sighed deeply, and pointed to a certain direction in the jungle .

“And it’s not because I don’t like patients with Originium disease, let alone because I discriminate against him, but because this place is really not suitable for you. From there, there is a small road that leads directly to the ridge area. At that time, you can directly choose Just run away. Rather, I very much hope that you can leave this place without getting to the bottom of it.”

“But why isn’t it suitable? We also have to survive. If we don’t give proper reasons, we really can’t waste precious materials on the road. We also have to feed people. If the high-intensity march these days If all the supplies are lost, we may not be able to survive this winter.”

“My suggestion is that you’d better go back directly and don’t think too much. Sometimes there are problems with thinking. The cleaning mechanism is starting to work. When the time comes, you also have to clean up the memories about this place.”

“If we can go directly through here, then cleaning up memory is not an unacceptable thing.”

Tallulah stepped on the sled and stopped in front of the man, and said firmly.

She is not afraid of death. It is because of her courage to face death and determination to act that she is able to make others change their minds or make their own choices.

And looking at the girl with short white hair and a tattered Ursus officer’s uniform, the tired man fiddled with the fragmentary pendants on his belt, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then sighed.

“…Then let me tell you directly, if any contaminating imagination appears, you must perform a memory cleanup after listening.”

“I see.”

Although I don’t know anything, I also understand this truth.

Looking at Li Lin’s thin face, Tallulah agreed without hesitation, leaning on her short sword and watching the man waiting for his explanation.

And that man didn’t do much, he just walked directly to a small high slope covered by snowdrifts, and asked him to point to the huge black building with his finger.

“Did you see that black building in the middle of the jungle? It was supposed to be used as a sealing and lifting facility, but I underestimated the siltation of this world, so I am relieving the pressure on this land. If I insist …perhaps like a toilet. Suck the filthy product into a river, wash it down to the deepest part of the river, and wait for time to cover it up or kill it.”

“But here it seems that the building you mentioned should be completely enclosed, so it’s impossible for monsters to appear?”

“Just wait a little longer.”

“…”

A minute later, an extremely strange sound began to sound from the huge black building.

As if some invisible giant spirit god was having a stomachache or belching, a trembling and disgusting sound echoed throughout the forest.

Then Tallulah saw with her own eyes what is called a void creation. One by one, weird monsters that seemed to appear from fairy tales gradually crawled out from the black building walls and doorways, each turned their heads, and glared at the man.
