Chapter 2694 Exploration
After that, the girls also learned about the situation in this world from Chito and Yuri.
As long as they can remember, the world has been snowing, occasionally sunny, but the climate has always been cold.
The food is also something that can't be seen, and most of the time I eat canned food and military rations.
As for animals, plants, and so on, they are things that only appear in books. For the two of them, the daily scene is the world covered by snow, dilapidated city ruins, and all kinds of things. Weapon wreckage.
"Then why do you go to such a high place?"
After listening to the narration of the two, Tita looked incredible.
"It's dangerous to be so high, and many things here are already old. What if something happens? And there's nothing on it?"
"...Yes, there is nothing on it."
Hearing Tita's question, Qianhu sighed, but she didn't seem to intend to answer the question, instead Yuli beside her said with a smile.
"What's the matter? The important thing is to go up. If we can, we still want to continue traveling."
"Where are you going?"
"moon!"
Seeing Yuli's hand pointing to the sky excitedly, everyone was speechless. But at this time, Fangzheng just chuckled.
"Okay, if you want to see the moon, go and see it."
"Huh? Mr. Fangzheng?"
The girls were taken aback when they heard Fang Zheng's words, and Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"What's the matter? For us, whether it's the moon or the sun, isn't it easy? Besides, it's rare for someone to have a wish come true. If you don't help? It's easy to do anyway."
"That's fine..."
Ling frowned, but finally nodded.
"Okay, let's go to the moon!"
"very good!"
Hearing this, Yuli immediately raised her hands excitedly, while Qianhu next to her shook her head.
"Really... I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's nothing, it's really not a particularly troublesome thing for us."
Soon, the Lightning left the atmosphere and arrived in lunar orbit not long after.
"Oh-----!"
Lying in front of the window, looking at the moon outside, both Qianhu and Yuli sighed in surprise.
"The moon is really like this, it's full of potholes outside, it's not pretty at all."
"It looks more desolate than the earth, why would anyone want to come to such a place?"
"Because I came here, I realized that this place is desolate..."
Looking at the surface of the moon outside the window, the two young girls were chatting with each other, while Ling and the others frowned and stared at the monitor—of course they saw the human base on the surface of the moon. But as before, no signs of life were detected from it.
"Ah, there are buildings over there."
At this moment, Yuli also discovered the base located in the moon crater, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"Let's go over there and have a look."
In this regard, naturally no one will refuse.
Soon, the spaceship stopped near the base, and the girls also put on their spacesuits, left the battleship with Yuli and Qianhu, and went to the base to investigate. Because of rescuing two young girls, Ling and Tida didn't observe the world carefully, but now that they have free time, they naturally want to see what the world has become and why it has become This way.
And yet... nothing.
Here, as elsewhere, there is everything but no life.
The energy source has been exhausted, and the entire base is cold and dark. There is no sign of life, and even the traces of life, there are only notepads and some stored data records. Other than that, there is no sign of life. Anything that represents a human being, not even a bone, a hair, anything like that doesn't exist.
"It always feels... scary."
Walking in it, Tita seemed very uneasy. She looked around tremblingly, and the cold metal buildings reflected their shadows, but she couldn't see anything other than that, and the people in the entire base seemed to be missing. Although Tida had also worked in Chase's research institute and Fangzheng's fully automated workshop, she never felt such a sense of alienation at that time.
In Tita's impression, the force-guiding machine is something to be used by people after all, so she doesn't hate being surrounded by machines. But now, she felt as if she had strayed into a territory she shouldn't have entered. The owner here is not human beings, and there are no creatures here, only the cold, silent steel showing its own sense of existence here, as if they are the ultimate rulers.
The performance of the others was not much better, Tio didn't say a word, Ling frowned, only Altina seemed to be walking in the front as usual, and with her were Qianhu and Yuri—they This is not the first time I have come to this type of place, and I have long been used to this strange emptiness and loneliness.
In the end, everyone didn't find anything useful here, and everyone hurried back to the battleship almost as if they were fleeing for refuge... Only Qianhu was the exception. Books collected in the library. Perhaps it was to pass the time for the people on the base. These books ranged from fantasy novels to serious literature, so Qianhu happily searched the entire bookshelf and packed all the books back.
"It's really scary."
Back on her seat, Tita still couldn't help but feel chills all over her body. In fact, the unmanned base itself is not that scary, but as long as they think that they have not found any signs of life on the earth and the moon other than Qianhu and Yuri on the monitors, the feeling of extreme loneliness and emptiness is like a tide. She came like a pavement and almost crushed Tita to the ground.
"Thanks to these two people for being able to persist until now."
Looking at Qianhu and Youli not far away, Ling couldn't help feeling emotional.
"For me, I'm afraid I can't bear this feeling at all. I have nothing but myself, and I even doubt whether my existence is worthwhile..."
"Brother Fangzheng, our world won't become like that."
Tida looked at Fangzheng anxiously, her eyes rarely filled with fear. In fact, this is not surprising, Tida is also the granddaughter of Liber's famous guidance scholar, and sometimes she will go to those ancient sites with her mother to investigate. At that time, for Tida, this just meant more mysteries and challenges. Get her excited.
But today, after this "journey", Tita suddenly felt some fear in her heart.
Those monuments in the continent of Samlia were all left hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the owners inside have long since ceased to exist. What about our world? Will the world we live in become like this one day? A city like a cold metal tomb, with no owner, no users, even the traces of its past have been lost, only the force-guiding machinery remains... Will the present of the ancient Samulians be our future?
One day, Liber, Closbell, will become like this? There are no people left, only the wreckage is left, but at that time, will anyone come to dig up their remains, looking for proof of their existence? If Samlia was also destroyed at that time, what is the meaning of these last things?
Thinking of this, Tita shuddered.
Facing Tida's question, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand with a smile, and gently touched her head.
"Don't worry so much, aren't we just trying to avoid this now? You won't forget our purpose."
"Ah, that's right! Hmm!!"
Hearing this, Tita's eyes suddenly brightened—yes, they set off this time, didn't they just want to find the culprit who caused the destruction of these worlds? As long as the culprit is eliminated, their world will not be like this!
"I will work hard! I will never let Samlia become like this!"
Tita clenched her small fist tightly and replied with glowing eyes, while Tio turned her head and looked at Altina who was quietly sitting in her seat.
"But Ms. Altina is really amazing. She really hasn't wavered in the slightest. It's not surprising that sister Yuri and Sister Qianhu have gotten used to it because they have been living in this world, but Ms. Altina is unmoved. , is really admirable."
Afterwards, Tio couldn't help feeling emotional.
From Tio's point of view, Altina was obviously about the same age as them, but she looked more stable and composed, which made Tio a little envious. On weekdays, she is also very calm, as if there is nothing that can make her anxious——I never thought that Miss Altina would be such a resolute girl in her heart. Spiritually, Altina is more mature than them too much.
However, Tio didn't know it, and the fact was not the case.
"Boom boom boom."
That night, there was a knock on the door. Fangzheng opened the door, only to see Altina standing outside the door, staring at him.
"Hey, Artina, why don't you go to rest so late?"
"..."
"Instructor..."
At this moment, Altina looked at Fang Zheng with hot and uneasy eyes.
"I don't want to sleep alone tonight..."
By the way, what Tio doesn't know is that it's not just her spirit that has matured in Altina.
