Let the whole universe drop SAN together

Igor's voice came from Azathoth's ear: "... sir?"

He felt that he was still in a dream, and there were whispers and flute sounds in his ears, so he turned over and submerged himself in the soft quilt and pillow and did not move.

After a while, Igor's voice sounded again, with a little helplessness: "Didn't you say you wanted to go out yesterday? It's already nine o'clock in the morning. Although Kemingting Town is a small city, you want to go to the suburbs It also takes a long time..."

Before he finished speaking, Azathoth grabbed the arm of his family member and easily led him down on the spacious master bed. He hugged Igor like a pillow and buried his head in the other's neck , said slowly: "It's okay, I'll sleep for a while."

The world sleeps the most, as a strong man who could sleep for days and months on the barren star before, Azathoth has no psychological burden.

Inexplicably, Igor, who was accompanied/sleeping, froze into a stone statue, staring at the ceiling motionless.

Twenty minutes later, Hugo, who was about to leave but saw no movement in Azathoth's room, poked his head in: "Why haven't you... oh."

It immediately withdrew its head and wanted to go back to the living room. Igor stopped it with a dry cough, and asked in a low voice, "How did you wake up Mister before?"

Hugo: "I haven't provided this service yet, but if you think it's necessary, I'll fetch a bucket of hot water now?"

Although most people use cold water to wake them up, Azathoth is obviously not an ordinary person.

This proposal was rejected by Igor without hesitation.Before they could think of any way to rescue the gray-haired young man who dared not move, Azathoth arched on Igor's body, yawned, let go of his hands and sat up cross-legged, and without embarrassment at all Igor pulled it up, as if he wasn't the one who threw the person down as a pillow just now, and complained casually: "The history story of the Griffin family that Igor told yesterday was a bit boring."

It has been half a week since the arrest of Igor's former adjutant, Richard Tullem, and they are still temporarily living in Kemingting Town, and Azathoth has made it a habit to listen to Igor's short stories about the Commonwealth every night. habit—of course because he expressed an interest in it.

But just like he was not picky about the snacks Igor brought back, no matter what topics Igor talked with him these days, Azathoth looked serious on the surface and seemed to listen very well. serious.

Today is the first time he has shown his negative feelings nakedly. Igor was surprised and quickly responded: "Then let's change the topic tonight."

Azathoth nodded casually, not saying that he felt bored because Igor was in a bad mood when he mentioned this content.

After washing up, Igor drove out of the town with a group of four in a rented car, and said while walking: "Mr. Ford sent an email yesterday, saying that the admission procedures have been prepared for Erica, he I will return to Kemingting Town in three days and take her to the capital."

Even Erica herself didn't care much about such a trivial matter that no accidents would happen. She leaned on the car window a little excitedly and asked, "Where are we going now?"

"In the fog." Igor replied.

"fog?"

"You should learn these things when you take geography class later."

"The planet where the town of Kemingting is located is a real natural planet. Its surface area is actually equivalent to that of the capital star, and nearly three times that of the port of Yarplais." Igor explained, "However, there are too many planets in the universe A phenomenon that cannot be explained by current human technology. The reason why the human settlements in Port Yarpley are only located in the northern hemisphere of that planet is because most of its southern hemisphere is ocean, and there are only some islands with very small land areas."

"But Kemingting Town is different. It has been greatly developed after the federal capital was established hundreds of years ago. It should have been a huge developed city no less than the capital. But soon people discovered that the areas other than Kemingting Town suddenly One day, everything was shrouded in white mist."

"Because of the dense fog that didn't know where it came from, satellites couldn't detect the internal terrain. The Federation has sent robots and drones in many times, but never obtained valuable intelligence."

"Decades ago, there were adventurers who entered it and wanted to find out. They carried the most advanced video equipment and weapons, and they had almost perfect protection, but..."

Hugo guessed: "No one came out?"

Igor nodded: "But over the years, people have discovered that as long as you don't go deeper than one kilometer into the white fog, you won't encounter danger, and even the network signal can work well. So now the suburbs near Kemingting Town have become a It is a rare natural landscape, and it is also the reason why many capital stars are willing to come here for vacation.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hugo's eyes flickered and said: "I really can't see anything."

"..."

Azathoth: "Hurry up and let go of the hijacked satellite."

"It's okay, they can't find it." Hugo said enthusiastically, "So what's inside?"

Two bionic birds with cameras rushed towards the suburbs like cannonballs.

Fifteen minutes later, Hugo, who was concentrating on manipulating his small vanguard army, said in surprise, "What's going on...the connection suddenly dropped? There's no sign at all?"

Erica asked with excitement and fear, "What did you capture?"

"It's strange that nothing was captured." Hugo frowned humanely, "It stands to reason that this kind of visibility shouldn't be able to see nothing in an environment with light... The light shining into the fog is like being caught in the fog." The black hole swallowed everything, and there was no Tyndall effect."

Igor hesitated to speak.

Azathoth kept focusing on him, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"I told you." Igor knew everything about him, "The history of the Federation has passed 600 years before the star calendar, but there are big gaps in the records."

"About 300 years ago, humans began to ban all research related to bionics and destroyed a large amount of materials, including many historical documents."

Hugo snorted lightly.

Igor just mentioned this point and skipped it, and continued: "This is probably a small peak era of technological development. Now the Federation has invested a lot of money in the research and development of weapons in order to compete with the Zerg in the universe, but In fact, the overall level of scientific research has not been significantly improved."

"There has always been a saying in the research of historians that when the development of science and technology reached a certain level 300 years ago and human beings had not yet entered a comprehensive interstellar era, the power system was not completely dependent on science, and there was a period of supernatural powers and magic glory days."

"—But this is actually what the Zerg are best at."

Hugo flipped through the information at a glance and began to summarize: "Zergs can be active in the universe for a long time. Compared with the way humans rely on technological weapons to defeat their opponents, they are much more 'primitive and barbaric'... completely relying on powerful bodies The strength can compete with the gunfire carried by the spacecraft, the talents and abilities are unpredictable, and it can also mimic many life forms that are common in human society."

"Whoa," the country bumpkin exclaimed from the robot drilled from the ancient planet, "Animagus*?"

Azathoth, who somehow understood the stalk: "..."

Only Igor and Erica looked blankly at the bionic man and god who suddenly reached a consensus.

Igor dragged the topic back. They were about to reach their destination, and a large number of ordinary people who went to the suburbs for vacation appeared on the road: "In short, the current mainstream guess in the Federation is that the fog on the periphery of Kemingting Town is actually a kind of fog that is far away. Caused by abilities beyond the limits of what humans and ordinary Zerg can reach."

"But no one can provide evidence. Under the premise of ensuring safety, the progress of exploring the situation in the fog is very slow, and because of the war, no expert in the field of Zerg's abilities is willing to provide opinions on this. So now Kemingting Town In addition to developing tourism and collecting tickets, there is actually no special purpose in the surrounding area.”

They bought four tickets that were so expensive that one couldn't help but wonder if the place was a government stunt to make money, and drove slowly into the thick fog.

The mist seemed to be separated by a hood. It was clearly flowing with the air, but it refused to step into Kemingting Town.

Therefore, the boundaries between them and human residential areas are very obvious and abrupt, as if in the blink of an eye, the supposedly clear sky and warm sunshine disappeared.The people inside are like being wrapped in a huge white jelly, becoming decorations like coconuts or raisins.

In order to prevent tourists from getting lost inside, huge indicator arrows are painted on the ground at every step, and iron fences are pulled on both sides of the road. A huge slogan reads: "Treasure life, and it is forbidden to climb over the fence."

Strictly speaking, in addition to satisfying Azathoth's rare desire to explore, this trip is also to take Erica to enjoy the last relaxing trip before school.

"There is a way to heaven if you don't go, learn from the sea and work hard." Hugo once said compassionately, "Let's take her out together and experience the beauty of the world for the last time."

However, the average family probably would not bring their children to such a place that looks like a haunted house.

As Hugo said, in this white fog, it doesn't matter whether the vehicle is driving with high beam or low beam.The government of Kemingting town circled a circular one-way road of more than 300 kilometers around the town, but it was only as wide as two rows of lanes. It seemed to prevent curious humans from running around and losing their lives accidentally. .

In addition, although light cannot be formed in the fog due to unknown principles, humans can observe some scenes in the fog with the naked eye-this is the reason why scenic spots are scenic spots.

The buildings or plants in the distance are shrouded in white water vapor, leaving only deep shadows, like a hazy mirage. It is impossible to know whether this is a delusion born by the brain or a real giant .

Erica was from the slums of Port Yarple, and wasn't as intimidated by the environment as some pampered Omegas were.She quickly relaxed after the initial vigilance, and let Hugo open the car window, one person and one machine lying in front of the left and right windows and muttering:

"That shadow is a bit like a signal tower."

"Are there dinosaur bones over there?"

"I think it might be the ruins of a human building."

"But I think it could also be an alpaca..."

"Wait, something just moved over there, is it my illusion?"

After a while, a dusty small car changed lanes and accelerated from behind them, which happened to block Hugo's view.

The window on the opposite side was lowered, and the male Beta in the driver's seat stretched out his head, and greeted Hugo enthusiastically: "Hello! There are so many tourists here today!"

Hugo stared at him for a long time without speaking.

——You blocked my camera signal!

Beta, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car next door, was smoking a cigarette, and was caught off guard by the draft: "Ahem! Mike, hurry up and close the window!"

"Wait a minute, Nixon," the pilot said. "It's interesting to have a lot of people in this environment. I just want to chat."

Igor, who was driving without squinting, heard this sentence, and accidentally closed the car window with the glass film in front of Hugo with a trembling hand.

Mike: "...?"

Before he could say anything else, a brightly colored sports car followed behind two vehicles driving side by side, and honked its horn impatiently.

"What are you doing? Don't you guys know how to drive?" A young Alpha stretched out his head, scratching his neck and shouted, "This is not a floating driveway. You are sitting and waiting to be hit when you walk so slowly?!"
