Chapter 66 The Awakened Egg
The cold wind blew across the wilderness, with a sound like the howling of a demon spirit.The dark, dim wilderness is always the greatest enemy of human civilization, especially in the world after the cataclysm, where thick dark clouds cover the brilliance of the sun and moon, and you can't even see your fingers in the darkness.On the wasteland, an unknown number of fresh lives just disappeared into the darkness.Even the light, which is the symbol of human civilization, seems so weak and vulnerable.

A zombie raised its head, twitched its nose and looked forward, although there seemed to be nothing in its field of vision.But the zombie's keen sense of smell and hearing surpassed its long-lost vision, showing it another scene in the dark—the flowing blood, the breath of life, and the beating sound of the heart are extremely clear and obvious The ones that appeared in its mind, and after synthesizing all the known information, it can get only one answer.

food………

"!!!"

The zombie raised its head and opened its mouth, trying to call its companions to attack and enjoy the food in front of it.But before it could make a piercing scream with its broken vocal cords, a bullet flew in from the darkness without a sound, smashing its head together with the voice it hadn't had time to make. .Immediately afterwards, the withered corpse shook its body and fell to the ground without moving again.

"call………"

Watching the target in the infrared sight fall, Chris let out a soft breath. The girl narrowed her eyes and leaned on the metal plate next to her as a cover.This place was originally used by the Harmony as an open-air balcony, but now it has become a place used by Chris as a sniper bunker.As a sniper, all Chris has to do is to keep vigil for her companions and eliminate enemies that may threaten them in the first place.No matter when, she always performs her tasks in such a silent way, it was like this before, and it will not change in the future.

But...it's not always the same.

"Commander, what kind of familiar will we summon?"

Inside the Harmony, Ailuka and Krona were excitedly staring at the "Familiar Egg" placed in front of them. Looking at them, they were obviously full of interest.But it’s no wonder that the familiar is a very mysterious and strange thing in the eyes of human beings. The three sisters have never heard of a human being who will serve the familiar before, even though Faerun had told them to form a contract with the familiar before. According to the conditions of the contract, they also knew that it was impossible for them to obtain followers like familiars.But even just looking at it is enough to satisfy their curiosity.

"It's hard to say at the moment, and... I advise you to stay away."

Compared to the excitement of Aluka and Krona, Ferran seemed quite calm. The fingers of his right hand kept spinning, with a silver, sharp scalpel turning between his fingers.And on Fei Lun's face, there is still that kind of faint smile that looks like it won't change until the end of the world.After hearing Fei Lun's reminder, Ailuka and Krona immediately moved away from the familiar egg on the table. Krona even widened her eyes and glanced at the familiar egg uneasily. egg.

"Master Commander... Will this be dangerous?"

(Whether it is dangerous or not depends mainly on the character of the familiar)

Hearing Krona's question, the black cat lying lazily on Fei Lun's lap yawned, and then answered.

(Some familiars are very happy to interact with humans, while others are not. Of course, in addition to familiars, human attitudes are also a major reason for forcing them to make decisions. For example, the master once awakened a familiar, and the result The other party ran away because he was dissatisfied with the master's choice)

"Huh? This kind of thing actually happened?"

Hearing this, the flames of gossip between the two of them immediately ignited. The introverted Krona was okay, but she just looked at Fei Lun quietly.And the lively Ai Luka couldn't hold back her inner excitement, she looked at Fei Lun and asked.

"Why is it running?"

(To put it simply, the owner made a very unacceptable request to it, so the other party ran away)

"I don't think what I'm making is unacceptable, Deline."

Hearing this, Phelan frowned and raised objections.

"I just asked the other party to voluntarily serve as my experimental subject to perform a vivisection. Could it be that this is also an unreasonable request? I simply can't understand why it can agree to have sex with me, but can't agree to let me perform a vivisection." Experiment? The familiar can't die, and... don't you believe in my skills? I assure you, my dissection skills are as good as my sleep skills, and I will never disappoint anyone."

(Of course I believe in the master's technology, but I don't believe that other people will have the courage to accept the master's request...)
"So, the road to pursue life and explore the mysteries of the body is long, and you mortals will never understand the fun of it..."

Hearing Delin's indifferent answer, Fei Lun sighed helplessly.Then he raised his head and looked at the familiar egg in front of him.

"Forget it, I hope this time the familiar can surprise me."

"…………………"

Listening to Fei Lun's emotion, Eluka and Krona stared at the familiar egg in front of them in a tacit understanding, then looked at each other, and unanimously chose to be farther away from the familiar egg.

Obviously, they didn't have too much expectation for Phelan's idea.

However, Fei Lun didn't mind their little offense. The road to genius was always lonely, and he didn't expect these mortals to understand his aesthetics at all.At the same time, Phelan felt sorry for them. They lost an opportunity to contact and understand this world, the ultimate beauty of natural creation and life on this earth.

Forget it, mortal wisdom.

Thinking of this, Fei Lun smiled slightly, then he stretched out his hand, placed an energy chip in front of the Familiar Chaos, and crushed it hard.Soon, green dust that shone with a little brilliance leaked from the gap between Faerun's fingers and sprinkled on the familiar egg.And with Faerun's movements, the familiar egg, which was originally translucent and milky white, gradually emitted a soft, undulating brilliance.The flickering light looks like the beating of a human heart, gradually increasing.And looking at the miraculous scene in front of them, Ailuka and Krona also held their breath, widened their eyes, and stared at the glowing familiar egg in front of them.Even Delin jumped off Faerun's lap at this moment, came to the side of the familiar egg, and looked at it vigilantly and curiously.

But Fei Lun didn't care about it, he just took out another energy chip like a witch doctor in ancient mythology, crushed it, and then sprinkled it on the familiar egg.After repeating this action three times, Fei Lun stopped, stood up satisfied, and looked at the familiar egg in front of him.At this time, the brilliance on the familiar's egg became more and more dazzling. With a slight "crackling" sound, cracks began to appear on the smooth surface of the familiar's egg. Then, These cracks became bigger and bigger, and then the entire familiar egg was completely shattered with a "pop", and then, dazzling light emerged from it and spread out in all directions.

"ah----!"

The dazzling golden light made Eluka and Kurona scream involuntarily, turned their heads and stretched out their hands to block in front of themselves.This brilliance is so dazzling that even if you reach out to block it, you can feel the touch and heat as if it were tangible.

And then, the brilliance dissipated.

The next moment, a cold and hollow voice sounded.

"Program restart begins..."

"The breath of life was detected..."

"Integrated analysis in progress..."

"Familiar—Fran is here upon summoning, may I ask, are you my master?"
