Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 379

Lauren didn't know what else she planned to do, but after searching for the medicine to no avail, she returned to the station.Rather than saying that this is a human settlement, it is better to say that it is a refuge that has almost collapsed.

"I am back."

Although there were still a few people active around, they all seemed languid, and no one even responded to Lauren's announcement.Even after entering the semi-enclosed building, the pungent smell in the air was still very strong, and the burning sensation on the body was hardly relieved.

"How are the children?"

"...One is already gone."

"damn it."

In such a hellish environment, the lives of weak people are in danger at any time.The poisonous mist that enveloped the world was not pure poison, but something more subtle.Lauren always felt that this mist was familiar, but his consciousness had not returned to normal, so he could not think of anything.

Lauren watched as he walked into the interior of the shelter. The environment inside was slightly cleaner, but in fact it was not much different from the outside.Some very young children were lying on simple beds, breathing rapidly, as if someone had strangled their throats in pain.But breathing like this will also inhale a large amount of poisonous mist. They are actually accelerating their own death.

"No drugs were found, and the nearby city has been eroded to the point where nothing is intact."

"What...is there nothing we can do?"

The young woman looking after the children lowered her head in disappointment. People here have worked hard enough, but in this extreme environment, it is very difficult to just survive.

"I'm going to find that woman now and at least make her spit out something useful."

That woman should refer to the brave man who contacted his past self. Lauren didn't know what that person was thinking, but since he had been in contact with her, maybe he had been targeted by the Space-Time Administration from that time on. .

No one cared about Lauren's whereabouts. Many people's faces were full of despair, as if they had lost their belief in survival.Even if the people here are still alive, they are actually no different from dead.

These people are also hopeless.

"Hey, I'm close to the location we agreed on before."

The scene in front of Laurent fast-forwarded a lot. It seemed that this retrospective had deliberately ignored the insignificant content, so at this time he would feel that time was speeding up. However, after all, he was just a bystander, and there was no trace of it at all. way to control it all.

"Well, I've seen you. 』

A female figure appeared from the shadow of the building debris. Lauren could not see her face clearly, as if this brave woman from the Space-Time Administration had her face blurred on purpose.Although Laurent felt a little unhappy, he had no right to choose.

"Okay, Ms. 〇〇, I hope you can abide by our agreement."

Can't even hear the name?Lauren began to feel that the guy who showed him this memory was just perfunctory.However, this also shows that this person is actually very strong. She may just make a simple disguise to bias people's memories.

"Of course, I will help you as much as possible."

Lauren learned from the previous exchanges between the two that this female warrior seemed to have some kind of emotion for him in his previous life and wanted to take him away from this dying world.But Laurent didn't quite understand the reason why this happened. It was not common sense for a brave man who often traveled between worlds to have feelings for ordinary people in a broken world.

But things are unpredictable, maybe this is a special case.

"I have been looking for relevant information before. Although most of the data centers have been eroded by the poisonous fog, I still found information about the 'tree'."

"Really, what do you need me to do?"

"Take me there. Although I know the location, it's impossible to walk that long distance with my current equipment."

In such a harsh environment, just surviving is the limit.And long-distance travel is tantamount to suicide, so it must be assisted by someone who can ignore the threat.

And this female warrior is the best choice.

"I don't quite understand. In fact, even if you successfully activate the so-called Purification Tree, this world will not be able to survive for too long. Its operating rules have been seriously damaged. It cannot be done by getting rid of the poisonous mist. Back to normal.”

The female hero tried to explain to Lauren in the past that there was no hope in the world, but it was obvious that Lauren at that time couldn't listen at all, or couldn't understand it at all.After all, in a world where time travel technology has not been developed, it is difficult for the indigenous people there to understand what the end of the world will be like.

"I know what you said. This world is hopeless. Yes, I have understood it a long time ago." The past Laurent gave an unexpected answer. "Even if the poisonous fog is cleared away, there will not be enough life in this world to maintain a normal ecology. Sooner or later, those people will lose their food source, and they will eventually die."

"Then why are you still so persistent?"

The female warrior seemed a little anxious. She seemed to want to do something irrational, and Laurent had been thinking about her reasons for doing so.There was nothing special about my past self, nor did I look like a strange person with any special powers.There must be some special reason why this woman pays so much attention to him.

"Although the choice you gave me sounds very tempting." Laurent from the past gave his own answer. "But that's not the life I should have. If this was a stable world, maybe I would really promise you to leave this world with you and visit the so-called other world. But now, I want to I will make a last-ditch effort to find the place where the baby was born, even if it is terminally ill, I will not give up."

This is actually a relatively morbid obsession. In fact, the past Lauren should be said to have given up hope.He didn't look forward to a new life, but persistently went to a dead end.Presumably he has also experienced too many tortures of life and death, and in fact he no longer desires to continue living.

"I... understand, I will help you fulfill your last wish, and I hope you don't break your promise."

"Well, if the world can continue to function for another 20 years, I will leave with you."

But this was impossible. Lauren could feel that the black poisonous mist that filled the entire world and blocked the sky was not an ordinary gas at all, but some kind of existence with special power.It should be an error that cannot be corrected in the world that is about to be destroyed, and the power of human civilization can have minimal impact on it.

Even a brave man cannot save the doomsday world that is on the verge of collapse.
