I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Perhaps only Noretti, who has deeply experienced the tragic war and the death of people around her, can interpret this song so vividly.

"That...I'm done singing."

Seeing that Qianhu and Yuri remained motionless with their mouths slightly open in surprise, Noretti cleared her throat and said this.

The two people who had just extricated themselves from that strong emotion couldn't help but be surprised.

He sighed and applauded, expressing appreciation from the bottom of his heart.

"You sing so beautifully, Noretti!"

"I didn't expect it at all. What's the name of this song?"

"Scarborough Fair." Noretti replied, "It comes from a British folk song, which has been improved in many versions. It was originally sung by two people in love. Later it was extended to oppose war and The satirical meaning of war was added to the chorus.”

"——On a few small blades of grass beside the hill, silver tears dripped down and washed the grave. The soldier wiped his gun, the flames of war roared, and the scarlet bullets screamed. The generals ordered their soldiers to rush to kill... for a Fighting for reasons long forgotten.”

Yuri subconsciously tightened the rifle belt on her shoulder.

"Yeah, what on earth did those people start the war for?"

She recalled the days when she and Qianhu cuddled up together and broke open a piece of dry food in the snow when they needed to fill their stomachs.

"—Food?"

She remembered the time when several people held hands with bare feet, stepped on the cold stream, and washed clothes under the warm sun.

"——Water?"

She also thought of the street lights that lit up the city in the dark, like stars, so beautiful...

"——Or energy?"

"Do we still remember the reason for the war? Xiaoqian, have we forgotten the reason for the war, or did we not know it from the beginning?"

Yuri looked at Chihu who was looking at her.

In the quiet snow curtain, a thin layer of white catkins fell on the heads and shoulders of several people. Snowflakes also covered the ground and black tombstones like tombstones.

"...Do they still remember those who are buried here?"

Or is it that you never knew it until it was forgotten by others?

"I have no idea."

Qianhu shook his head, returned to the car, and started the engine.

"I only know that if I don't hit the road again, it won't be easy for me to leave soon."

"That's right~!" Yuli immediately put aside those things that she couldn't think clearly about, because in her eyes, the important things were around her.

"Just keep on your way."

Noretti nodded, climbed up to the upper level of one of the standing cabinets two or three times, and returned the black button in her hand to its original position.

"let's go."

"...You actually remember where Qingyou took it out from."

"Um."

Noretti sat next to Yuli, watching the tombstones go away as the vehicle bumped slightly.

"I remember."

The time came three days later.

"Cheng, the marked position of Shijing has stopped." Liang Yilan, who was responsible for monitoring the positioning information, held up the screen and came to Cheng Rang, "It is about 120 kilometers northwest of our current location."

In the past few days, Cheng asked the team to follow Ishii's flight path from a distance, approaching the destination.

There have been records of stops at Ishii before, but most of them were for rest and searching for water and other supplies.

"It's not like she's looking for water or taking a rest this time. She should have arrived at the "facility"..."

While Liang Yilan was talking, the positioning information on the screen suddenly disappeared.

"Where is she?"

"The transmission beacon also failed..." Christian also reported the situation at the same time.

"I don't know. Do you want to take a look?"

Cheng Rang stood up and stamped out the bonfire and recovered the camp, "Isn't it natural? Move quickly and set off immediately."

A minute and a half later, Cheng asked the team of four to rush towards the location where the positioning signal last appeared at full speed.

…

The plane was parked on the runway outside by Ishii.

This was the first time she had seen such an empty area. She seemed to have escaped from the originally crowded city-state full of steel buildings in a moment. She flew down from the top of the mountain and looked around. She saw endless wasteland and hills without any breath of life. khaki gravel ground.

There is something here, and I must come here. The thought in my mind became stronger. Ishii got off the plane, stepped on the wasteland with no roads at all, and headed straight in a certain direction.

In the distance in front of her seemed to be tall mountains covered with white snow. Thick clouds accumulated over the mountain tops and were pulled out of vortexes like the spiral arms of the Milky Way. It looked like it made her shudder.

The terrain here is rugged and looks very lush. Ishii means... at least it should have been very lush before.

Because you can see a large dry river bed and even traces of waterfalls.

Gray volcanic rock steps connected the high and low terrain. Going forward, Ishii almost turned around and could no longer see the plane parked at the initial landing place.

However, the further we move towards a certain place here, the clearer and stronger the voice in our mind becomes.

Until Ishii stepped on the dry and cracked earth that was as hard as stone and stopped in front of a collapsed and weathered hut.

she knows……

"This is it."

Feeling inexplicably nervous about the unknown future, Ishii tried to control his emotions and swallowed.

He lifted up the broken board, which was as crispy as biscuits, and used his feet to sweep away the dust above the floor tiles.

A two-meter-square black unknown rock floor tile appeared in front of him. It looked like a door to the underground, more like the old air force base where he lived for a long time.

Ishii also wants to take photos of cats

Hua Hudi looked around for a console that controlled the lifting, or a device similar to that.

But nothing was found.

After circling the black rock brick several times but unable to find any switches or gaps, Ishii simply stood on it and jumped twice, feeling a solid and thick texture from the soles of his feet. It doesn't look like there could be anything down there.

Just when Ishii was about to give up, the floor tiles under her feet suddenly fell down, startling her, and then moved up and down as if stuck, and finally with the sour sound of something aging, twisting and breaking. Rumble down.

The descent process was extremely long. Although the speed should be very fast, and Ishii even felt a weightless feeling in his chest halfway through, it still took about four or five minutes to reach the bottom.

The alloy sealed door in front of him slid open to both sides with the clicking sound of huge gears. Just looking at the thickness of the door, Ishii roughly estimated that the door weighed at least a dozen tons.

The stale, unventilated air mixed with the strong smell of engine oil and metal rushed into his nostrils. Ishii impatiently pulled up his collar to cover his mouth and nose, pushed up his glasses, and squinted his eyes to look at the space inside.

There should have been lighting here, and Ishii could already see the flickering lights above his head, but after the filament flickered out a few tiny rays of light with difficulty, it stayed helplessly in a dark, almost extinguished color.

After the lights above the head failed to start, something automatically fell and unfolded in the grooves on the walls on both sides. Neatly arranged light rods were hung on both sides of the wall, emitting stable and weak green fluorescence, barely helping Ishii to illuminate the underground. One hundred meters into this dark tunnel.

"What the hell is this place..."

The further Ishii walked along the tunnel ahead, the more shocked he became.

Such a deep underground space has actually been mined to such a wide space. The main passage alone is four meters high and about eight meters wide. There are also many branch roads. Because there is no light to illuminate, Ishii was a little afraid to go in and check.

And even if you go in, you can't see anything. There is no sunlight at all. Halfway down the black stone lift, Ishii has already fallen into a darkness where you can't see your fingers.

Therefore, the light source provided by these fluorescent sticks on the walls is extremely precious.

Arriving at the second door blocking the way forward, Ishii discovered a white paint-printed logo that he had never seen before on this thick black metal door.

It resembles the archetypal triangular structure of a gear, with three arrows pointing straight to the center crossing the inner concentric circles.

There is no text on the door except for a special white printed logo that occupies almost half of the area. Ishii found a code disk similar to a switch next to the door.

Maybe you have to enter a password to get in, but Ishii himself has no way of knowing the password to open this door.

If you turn back here, all your previous efforts may be wasted, and it is still unknown whether the creaking lift can bring you back to the ground...

Ishii had no choice but to bite the bullet and try.

After a few random clicks on the password pad keys, a red light indicating an incorrect password came out, flashing on the small screen above.

The password is definitely wrong... After trying it a few times, just when Ishii was about to give up here and go back to the previous forks to see what was there, the door suddenly opened automatically.

The heavy and suffocating door slowly lifted upward with the sound of mechanical transmission, revealing Ishii's slightly surprised expression.

"How can it be……?"

The bright white light in front of her suddenly lit up, illuminating the space behind the door. However, Ishii stood blankly outside the door, and the sudden dazzling light failed to close her eyes.

Behind the door is a platform extending outward from the mountain wall. It is in mid-air, with a small room blocked by glass. On both sides are stairs leading to up and down slopes.

What can be seen through the glass is an almost breathtaking huge underground space, with no end in sight.

Various strange devices and instruments with flashing standby lights below quietly made a faint and regular beeping sound.

Looking from the upper right, a huge transparent leaf similar to a banana leaf emits light extending from the outside of the room on the rock wall. There is a liquid substance in it, which refracts the light into ripples and projects it on the mountain wall, like a sparkling sea. The waves were so beautiful that Ishii felt suffocated.

Such a large internal space may have hollowed out the entire wasteland below the previous upper level, and there is still electricity here...

There are clearly no upper-level buildings, and there are no wires or anything like that extending over it. In terms of horizontal levels, the yellow wasteland on the ground has reached the bottom of the lower level.

This place is undoubtedly far away from the upper level of the city-state area built of steel and concrete. It is a super-sized and huge underground facility at the absolute core level!

Buzz—! Buzz—!

The sudden loud sound of the yellow alarm made Ishii, who was immersed in the shocked gesture, tremble. He quickly covered his ears and looked in the direction of the sound and flash.

The sirens kept going off and it seemed like they would continue to sound like this unless someone checked.

Ishii quickly went to the lower area through the stairs on the left and found the place where the alarm came from.

This is a similar installation to a two-person monitoring center console leaning against the mountain wall.

Setting, as the yellow alert light swept across the screen, Ishii saw the fault.

[Liquid thorium fluoride reactor has expired: 7Y.9m.3d - low energy warning. 】

[Geothermal energy generator capacity index decreases: below the baseline - energy shortage warning. 】

[Each device passes the self-test and can run...automatic operation fails - low energy warning. 】

[Years of operation that can still maintain standby mode: 24 years]

[Facility status: urgently in need of repair]

Ishii looked at the information on the screen at a loss.

Not enough energy?

In urgent need of repair?

"Then what can I do..."

However, Ishii's original complaint, as if he was talking to himself, seemed to be heard by the machine in front of him.

The warning words on the screen changed immediately, and a palmprint recognition module with a yellow and black frame popped up on the tilted console panel.

[Please completely cover the palm of your right hand within this outline for identity verification]

Ishii pressed his hand into the palm outline of the recognition module, and after a while, the screen flashed and displayed the results.

[Identification completed: No abnormal human being, female civilian, age 31, no mental illness, able to make independent rational judgments, have certain logical thinking and strong hands-on ability, and meet the qualifications for automatic security authority. 】

【Welcome to "D.E.M"——Miss Ishii, good afternoon. 】
