Chapter 673 Chapter Zero. Teardrops (Part 2)

"Shakira's not back yet, Herrera!"

Under the gray-black sky, on a dilapidated street, a large number of running bulls with thick black fur, huge bodies, and golden eyes were sitting next to a dilapidated building. A large number of black-eyed Stekas were bulldozing. Sitting next to him to rest.

Penillo looked at the sky behind her with some worry. Next to her was a tall, nearly 2-meter-tall, wide-cheeked, chubby Steka named Herrera. He said with a smile.

"They are no match for Shakira, don't worry,"

A female Steka with a similar figure to Penillo is accompanying Penillo. Her name is Orsha. She is a female Steka with an angular and beautiful face. She looks cold and cold. Rarely talk to anyone.

Penillo was a little worried. She knew that she was far away from the village. She was running at a very fast speed, but Shakira never caught up. Next, she would follow these cursers to the cursed land. That was normal Steka. It is a place that they hate very much. No normal Stika will approach it. These cursed people all live in that cursed land.

Penillo looked at an entire dilapidated street. This street was no longer what it looked like. When she was a child, she often asked Nanzi to take her to human cities and explore everywhere. When she thought of this, Penillo's face showed a sweet expression. smile.

"It's better that you think about it carefully. If you follow us, you will never be able to go back."

Orsha, who had been silent all this time, spoke. Her expression looked very serious, and her dark eyes were serious. Penillo raised a hand and unconsciously placed it on Orsha's cheek. On, Orsha did not move away.

"Actually, I thought a long time ago that your eyes are very beautiful."

Penillo said, Orsha took a step back, and she shook her head.

"We are the same as you, we are not under any curse."

Penillo nodded. This was her first contact with the cursers, but she did not reject them in her heart, because she had felt that these Stekas were no different from her in the past. Although she was old Steka of the same generation often said that cursers would bring disaster, so Steka must be sent away. Growing up, Penelope had seen many Stekas who were sent away at birth. They would all be Parents sent to a cursed place.

But some of the parents did not send their children to the cursed land when they were born. They still wanted to wait for their children to grow up. There were also cases like this. Although they would be severely punished by the people in the village after being discovered, But it did not bring any disaster. Penelope had doubts about the cursed existence of the black-eyed Steka since she was very young.

Because this is what Nanzi said over and over again after his sister Shakira was sent away, and even went to other villages to prove it. No matter what it is, Panillo always believes in Nanzi, because Nanzi is very brave, he He often does things that are inconsistent with his weak appearance.

Seeing the sweet smile on Penillo's face, the cheerful and lively Herrera burst into laughter.

"You have a good relationship with Shakira's brother."

Penillo nodded in agreement. This was Penillo's best choice at the moment. She didn't want to marry a high-level Stika whom she had never met before, so leaving with Shakira was the only option at the moment. The high-level Stika Teka would not give up, so he chased after him so quickly.

But what Penillo is most worried about now is Shakira. She doesn’t know what happened to her. Steka’s natural perception ability is very strong, especially when she encounters Steka who is stronger than herself. It was obvious that when Shakira left just now, Penillo felt that the five high-level Steka chasing after him were very powerful.

"Hope she's okay!"

9:49 am

Shakira stared at the furious female Steka in front of her with a smile. Her name was Sylvie. She was the commander of the famous Chaos Three Legions of Sky. She was the great elder of the Steka Empire who controlled most of the southern region. The fighting legion under its banner maintains the peace in southern Steka and resists some strange creatures, and deals with the cursed ones.

Sylvie's whole face was twisted with anger at this time. Shakira was sitting on the top of a car. On the left was an abandoned building that was still gradually collapsing. There were a lot of people everywhere on the ground. Another dented hole and a lot of cut marks, it still looks new.

A large area of ​​Sylvie's armor has been damaged. This armor is made from the bones of the hardest alien creatures.

"If you continue, you will die."

Shakira said, Sylvie clenched her fists, and the four high-level Stekas behind her came over, and one of the tallest ones persuaded.

"Commander, let's hear what she has to say first."

Sylvie's clenched fists loosened. Although she was angry, fighting the cursed person in front of her, she could not gain the upper hand.

"If you want to talk, hand over Penelope first."

Shakira laughed loudly and kept shaking her head. This move obviously angered Sylvie again.

"If you want to see what my true strength is, I don't mind letting you see it!"

Shakira stood up, with a look of solemnity in her black eyes. Sylvie knew very well that she was no match for this woman.

"What do you want?"

"My thoughts are very simple, the same as yours, don't you think?"

For a moment Sylvie laughed, and Shakira stood up and turned around.

"You have been oppressed by several big families, are you willing to be their lackey!"

Shakira's words once again made Sylvie angry. Shakira also stopped her teasing face and looked at the fifth color appearing on the edge of Sylvie's eyes.

"Don't get excited. If we really fight, you don't know who will live and who will die, right! Commander, you are a high-level Steka of five colors!"

Sylvie laughed, and the four men behind her looked at Shakira in shock. Only the four of them knew this secret. In the entire Steka Empire, there were only a few Stekas with five-color eyes and ten fingers. The heads can be counted, and the great elder who controls most of the southern region is also Steka with five-colored eyes.

In Steka's society, there are four big families who are the actual controllers. They are all high-level Steka. This time, Penelope was favored by one of the big families, so as the commander of the Sky Legion, Sylvie will come here in person.

"It's hard to explain when you go back, Commander!"

A female Steka behind her said, Sylvie stood up straight, her tense body finally relaxed, she was released from the fighting state, and her eyes returned to red, purple and white.

"It seems that the negotiation has been established, right? Lord Commander."

Shakira said and Sylvie nodded.

"You are really smart, Shakira. You know that I don't want to expose my true power. I also admit that you are a strong person and qualified to negotiate with me. But please remember, you have seen the six-color Steka. ?"

Sylvie said confidently, Shakira looked solemn. She knew Sylvie was not talking nonsense and nodded.

"what do you want!"

Sylvie asked and Shakira laughed.

"What I want is just this area, is that okay, Lord Commander?"

"You are a smart opportunist Shakira, rejoice! I can give it to you."

Shakira jumped out of the car, walked step by step in front of Sylvie, stretched out her hand, and Sylvie held her hand.

"Things will calm down in a few days. I will have someone come to contact you. How much combat power can you provide?"

Shakira grinned.

"Of course it is to provide combat power that meets your inner expectations!"

Sylvie let go of her hand, Shakira turned around, waved her hand, and suddenly jumped up. The moment she soared into the air, black light spurted out from her back, and soon turned into a pair of dark Wings, accompanied by a strong airflow, Shakira was gone in an instant.

"Commander, do you really plan to do this?"

Sylvie raised her head and laughed.

"Obviously this is a society of strong people, but now it has become a clan society. This is obviously unreasonable, right? The days when those guys can still dictate to me are almost over."

Behind Sylvie, the shortest Steka, who looked sweet and cute, walked over.

"Commander, if you are willing, we can join forces with the earth or the ocean!"

Sylvie shook her head.

"I don't really want to join forces with those two guys. Although they are also planning, we still have to be careful, because there is the breath of life behind the wall of chaos, and what are the great elders doing? What are they doing? We need to know firsthand what is going on behind the Wall of Chaos."

Sylvie said, and the four subordinates also nodded. What is behind the high wall that extends from the western sea to the eastern sea is what most Stakas are confused about, because that is the domain of God, and only The great elders have the right to set foot.

Sylvie has been thinking about this question since she was very young, but she got the same answer from her father and elders. Only the great elders are qualified to enter.

The emperor who controls everything in the Steka Empire has not appeared in public for more than 20 years. Everything is taken care of by the great elders. Sylvie's sky army has nearly 10,000 Steka, among which the mid-level Steka are Teka accounted for 70%, and the remaining 30% were high-level three-color eyed Steka. Among the three major chaos legions, there were the most high-level Steka.

However, Sylvie still needs to bow to the four major families, which Sylvie absolutely cannot bear. Sylvie raised a hand, and the four subordinates around her came over and stood respectfully. behind.

"If you go back later, just tell the truth."

As Sylvie spoke, a deep gash appeared on her palm. White blood dripped onto the ground. Inside the broken armor on her chest, there were also some deep gashes on her skin. Wound.

"Commander!"

One of the men looked at Sylvie worriedly, and she shook her head excitedly.

"When we return, we will step up our training, and then step up our efforts to replace the nobles. Do you understand?"

Sylvie raised her head and looked at the gray-black sky. She knew very well what the future would bring. The entire Stika Empire did not need the system of the past human society at all, only the strong.

10:09 am

Shakira looked down at the sea quietly, and Garcia beside her sat quietly on the ground. Shakira's expression became solemn.

"I should have come earlier. I wanted to make him happy."

"Sorry Shakira, I should have stopped him."

Garcia is Shakira's spy planted in the village, and there are Shakira's spies in other villages. She knows most of the situation in the south.

"What should we do, Natsu!"

Shakira's eyes were sad, and a crystal teardrop fell from her eye. Garcia shrugged his head.

"He has been so stubborn since he was very young, and he was the same when I was taken away. He followed me for several days, all the way to the cursed place, and still refused to go back. Obviously I wanted to give him a share. surprise."

Garcia hummed. Originally, Garcia wanted to tell Nanzi, but Shakira repeatedly reminded him not to tell Nanzi. This was a gift to his younger brother as a sister who has not been able to see him for a long time. This is The best gift before Day of the Dead.

Shakira has dived into the sea to look for it, but can't find anything at all. The ocean is much wider than Shakira realizes. Shakira has tried, but she only flew on the sea. One day, I was exhausted.

"Go back to the village and continue to monitor the situation. It's okay. Nantz is still alive."

Garcia was a little shocked. He didn't know where Shakira got her confidence.

"This is how I feel as his sister, I believe he is still alive."

Garcia nodded. Shakira turned around and jumped up. After spreading her wings, she flew quickly towards the distance. She didn't know how to tell Penillo that this little girl had grown up when she was very young. There are no parents anymore. He is the one who has been taken care of by his younger brother since he was very young. People in the village say that the two of them will be a good match when they grow up. If Penello hadn't appeared with three-color eyes, maybe there wouldn't be. This made his younger brother Nanzi feel hopeless.

Shakira just wants to end everything in the Stika Empire, because this empire really makes Shakira feel extremely disappointed.

The Stekas at the bottom use their labor to feed the empire, but the people at the top of the empire can decide the life and death of the Stekas at the bottom, as well as everything about them, at will.

In Shakira's view, this is very incredible. In the past, Shakira also believed that she was cursed and would bring disaster to the people around her, so she chose to leave until she was in that cursed land. After living for a long time, I know everything.

Shakira started from the age of 11 to now 30 years old. In these 19 years, Shakira has seen everything. Especially in big cities, what Shakira has seen is tragedy, everything is bleak, everything is too unfair. Being equal, in Shakira's eyes, those high-level Stakas are not powerful. On the contrary, many of them are weak, but they are nobles.

"You can't die like this, Natsu!"

While speaking, Shakira had already returned to the troops, and many people immediately came over. At this time, Penelope, who was smiling like a flower in front of her, came over, and she looked around.

"Where's Natsu!"

Penillo has already heard Herrera talk about Shakira's plan, and she is happily waiting for Shakira to bring Nantz back.

At this time, both Herrera and Orsha could see the sadness in Shakira's eyes, and the smile on Panillo's face gradually disappeared.

"Did something happen to Natsu?"

Penillo asked, Shakira hummed, she took a deep breath, and started to speak. Penillo listened quietly, and many Steka who came around also felt that something was wrong. , because everyone knows that Shakira always talks about her younger brother. Although she cannot see her all year round, Shakira loves her younger brother very much.

In Penillo's eyes, crystal tears rolled down to the ground. She sat helplessly on the ground, her white gauze clothes fluttering in the breeze. Shakira looked at her.

"Do you believe me!"

Penelope nodded.

"If you believe me, be strong. Natsu won't die. As long as you believe it, that's enough."

Penillo nodded, and Shakira looked into the distance. There was only one reason why Shakira felt that Nantz was still alive, because Nantz had saved her in the past. Shakira has seen with her own eyes the power that is impossible to possess at that age, and her brother is 5 years younger than her.

"Go back quickly. I have to have a meeting with the boss and the others. Come with us."

Shakira pulled Penillo up, who was still crying and couldn't stop her tears.

"It's all my fault. If I had taken a firmer stance, maybe Nantz"

"Don't you understand? My brother is still alive."

The running bulls stood up and the troops began to move. The reason why they brought so many people out was to negotiate with Sylvie. Shakira knew very well that this was a very good opportunity. The spies in the southern city of the empire had spread. News came back that the reason why the family planned to take away Penelope was not just for marriage, but for other purposes.

Looking at the moving troops, Shakira picked up Penillo and jumped directly onto the giant running bull.

10:39 am

Nantz woke up from his sleep with a slight pain. He looked at everything in front of him in shock. He was lying in an iron cage, surrounded by many strange things that he had never seen before.

And in front of him was something that Nantz had never seen before. It was something only as high as his own belly, and it looked like a woman.

"You are awake, can you hear our words?"

Natsu looked at the woman in front of him in surprise.

"My name is Monday, what's yours!"

Nantz looked at his body, which was wrapped in white cloth and had a pungent and unpleasant smell. Nantz didn't know what was wrong, but he was certain that he understood what the woman in front of him said.

Nantz looked over in horror. A metal door opened and an old creature walked in. Nantz didn't know where this place was or what was in front of him.

"you're awake!"

The doctor walked over slowly and looked at Nantz with great interest.

"Who are you? It turns out that silicon-based organisms really exist."

The doctor said as he looked at the blue-skinned creature in front of him. He seemed to be intelligent and a silicon-based creature. This was the doctor's most shocking discovery so far. The doctor had seen these things in the laboratory. It's just that there is no living body, just a corpse.

The doctor is happy at this time. This is the biggest secret of the United States of the World and the reason for the large amount of endless energy output. Such a discovery is too sudden. The doctor only knows that he only has 20 years left in his life. In the end, the doctor wants to know what happened on this planet and all the secrets. The important first piece of the puzzle has been obtained. This is where the doctor is happiest at this moment.

"Natsu!"

Nantz spoke, and Monday's eyes shone with light. Nantz looked at him in horror, and the doctor said with a kind smile.

"Sorry Natsu, you can call me Doctor."

Nantz nodded. The doctor walked to the edge of the cage and pressed a switch. The door of the cage opened. Nantz was startled and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, as well as the words he could understand. These are all things Nantz could not imagine.

"Are you human?"

Nantz asked cautiously and walked out of the cage. He could see that the two people in the room meant no harm, and his wounds should have been healed by them.

The doctor nodded, then smiled and said.

"Nanzi, let's go step by step. First tell me what you know, and then I will tell you slowly. Our human society, or you were once human beings. I'm sorry that I tested your blood when you were asleep. DNA is slightly different from human DNA, but the difference is less than 1%."

Although Nantz didn't understand what the doctor was saying, he still sat over and looked at the bright screens in front of him. There were many things on them that Nantz couldn't understand.

"It seems like you don't have such a thing as words."

Natsu didn't quite understand, so the doctor pointed to some words and explained.

"These are our words. Have you been speaking in this language since you were a child?"

Nantz nodded, Monday was in front of a crystal screen, looking at something.

"Doctor, we can basically confirm that the energy source from the energy company is consistent with the energy released from the body of this creature."

The doctor smiled reassuringly.

"First we have to solve a problem Natsu."

Nantz didn't know what the doctor was going to say, but he was no longer as panicked as before, and Nantz stood up immediately.

"Panillo!"

The doctor looked at Nants in confusion.

"I have to go back quickly, doctor, tell me how to go back."

The doctor scratched his head.

"It's almost impossible to go back now."

Nantz became emotional for a moment, and the doctor said soothingly.

"I'll take you back after we understand the situation clearly, okay!"

Nantz looked at the kind doctor and finally nodded.
