"Um..."
Carly rubbed her eyes, stretched out in the quilt, and her eyes suddenly became clear.
She tilted her head, looked at Perlis with dissatisfaction, and said:
"Little White Flower has started to urge me to get up. Bad habit."
"Hehe..." Perlis smiled softly, "We should take good care of those stay-at-home girls who like to stay in bed."
Pearlis's smile met Carly's eyes, and in just a moment, that beautiful face like a flower made her completely conscious.
She took a deep breath of the morning air and smiled at Perlis:
"Good morning, little white flower."
"Good morning, lazy bum."
......
After getting dressed, Perlis realized that the RV had stopped.
Faintly, Perlis heard the shouts of girls outside the RV, and they seemed to be busy making breakfast.
So, Polys and Carly left the RV and came to the temporary camp outside.
This time the camp was located on the edge of a cliff. As soon as she went out, the dawn light and the gentle breeze blew in, making Perlis feel very comfortable.
The climate here is much better than when we first landed. Is it because it is close to human settlements?
"Hey, Perlis, Carly, are you awake?"
Shaya, who was standing by the campfire, waved at the two of them, inviting them to move closer to the campfire.
Above the campfire hung an iron bucket in which was cooking a mushy mass of white rice mixed with chunks of meat.
"Lean meat porridge, I wonder if you have any over there?"
"We don't eat porridge very often there," Carly said, squatting down by the campfire, "It looks like a good breakfast."
"Of course. A bowl of porridge in the morning can keep you awake for the whole day!" Shaya smiled energetically, "Come, I'll make you a bowl first!"
"Let's do it for Little White Flower first, Little White Flower? Eh——"
At this time, Carly realized that Pearlis did not seem to sit down next to her.
She turned around and found that the girl with white hair and red eyes had walked to the edge of the cliff, staring blankly into the distance.
"Little White Flower, what's wrong? What's so good about it?"
Carly muttered, slowly walked to Perlis' side, and looked out with her.
Then, her ice-blue eyes widened slightly——
——Above the vast dark plain, the towering city walls stretch out like a coiled mad dragon, like the backbone of the earth.
Outside the Great Wall, dark followers were everywhere, crawling among the black hills.
Inside the Great Wall, smoke from human cooking rises up, like the lungs of civilization breathing towards the sky.
That is the Great Wall, the last barrier for mankind in the East Continent.
......
3) The Great Wall (Part 2)
The moment Perlis left the RV, she felt the pulsation from the end of the earth.
When she took in the Great Wall with its red lines, her heart trembled slightly.
It was exactly the same Great Wall she had seen in the photo she found in Edward's mansion.
At that time, she was just a reckless little girl who was obsessed with revenge against Ivar, but now, she has come here on her own.
Dad, I'm one step closer to you.
"..."
After staring for a while, Perlis felt a hand on her shoulder.
She turned around and found Carly looking at her with a smile, her ice-blue eyes full of tenderness:
"Is Xiao Baihua thinking about the past?"
"Well," Perlis turned her gaze toward the Great Wall again, "I've seen the photos my father left behind."
Looking at the scarlet lines, Perlis almost immediately confirmed one thing -
——The Great Wall must contain the technology of the Hafrigad people.
Although the outer wall was built brick by brick, inside the wall, Perlis could feel the flow of the red engraving.
That mark made the Black Tide followers afraid to even approach the Great Wall, as if it had a natural driving force against them.
Could it be left by my mother? No, the time doesn't match... Could it be the [Holy Envoy of Heaven]? That is, the current [Lord of the Black Tide]...
If this is the case, it would be very ironic: the person who protects one side becomes the invader.
Fate is like a joke, cruel and ruthless while playing around.
"..."
After watching for a while, Perlis and Carly returned to the campfire and sat down.
Tianshi and Su Yao were already sitting there at this time. They greeted Perlis and Carly, and then enjoyed this comfortable breakfast together.
The lean meat porridge tasted delicious. The warm liquid food warmed Perlis's stomach and she felt great.
"How long do we have to go to the Great Wall?" Perlis turned and asked Shaya.
"About two days, but it could be faster, depending on how active the Black Tide Herd is," Shaya explained. "After we arrive, I'll take you to Qingcheng, and someone there should be there to pick you up."
"What does Miss Saya plan to do next?" Carly asked.
"Me? I also need to deliver things to some settlements outside the Black Tide," Shaya said. "This time the destination is Yuanzhen, outside the East Great Wall. It will probably take ten days to half a month to go back and forth."
Yuanzhen...it sounds very far away, literally.
Thinking of this, Perlis asked curiously:
"Wouldn't it be dangerous to live outside the Great Wall?"
"Well...it stands to reason, but over the past few hundred years, some people have managed to coexist with the Kuroshio ecosystem," Shaya explained carefully. "Coexistence is their choice, and the risks are naturally borne by themselves."
"Coexisting with the Kuroshio...it's hard to imagine..." said Carly.
"There are even sects that form a sect against the Kuroshio. They have a strange contractual relationship with the Kuroshio ecosystem... This kind of sect is actually quite harmful. Recently, many similar sects have appeared even inside the Great Wall."
"What will they do?" Perlis wondered.
"They are basically all bad things. There are people who use groundwater to open a special invasion line for the Kuroshio," Shaya sighed, "In the vast land of Qilang, these people enjoy the protection of the Great Wall, but they can do such a thing..."
"People like this...are really rare..." Perlis sighed.
"Yeah... It's very rare. Not only do humans worship Kuroshio, but they also drag everyone down to hell..."
As Shaya spoke, she looked at Tianshi beside her - the young writer had been recording something in a notebook, quietly and attentively.
"Xiao Tian seems to have been attacked by someone like this before? It seems to be related to what she wrote."
"Hmm..." Tianshi responded, still recording in the notebook.
"She has to write for a while in the morning, so it's better not to disturb her." Saya smiled at Pearlis.
However, when Perlis heard that some humans had formed a sect regarding the Kuroshio ecology, she did not seem to be too surprised: she had seen those crazy people who worshipped the Fish Cult on Sea Mist Island.
At that time, in the small town of Ankamouth in the [Netherworld], Perlis walked into their church and saw the bishop with dark green eyes.
At the time, I thought it was Ivar... Now that I think about it, how could it be possible.
Perlis shook her head slightly. As time passed, her initial hatred for Ivar had dissipated a lot.
Ivar killed Edward with his own hands, which is an objective fact, but after Perlis learned about the Black Tide, she gradually realized how much this substance could change people.
Perhaps, Ivar was just a madman who used the black water to harden his heart, and sacrificed everything for his illusory goal, using any means necessary.
Who knows? Now, does it even matter?
Perhaps, the same is true for those crazy people who worship the Black Tide. They are just using the black water to make themselves more obsessed in pursuing certain goals.
"..."
After drinking the meat porridge, the group packed up the camp and immediately boarded the [Tortoise], going down the mountain along the contour of the cliff with the sound of the engine.
In the RV, Perlis looked out the window and began to think about what Qi Lang might look like.
What would the civilization that had survived so long in the Eastern Continent be like?
......
"Come on, sister, stand still and don't act weird or move around this time."
"Okay, okay, don't worry~"
Below the hatchery hall of the White Flame Star, Lian was directing Aoi to stand on the power supply instrument, while he kept fiddling with the tablet in his hand.
In just a few days, the entire incubation hall of the White Flame Star had been filled with cables. Those cables were eventually entangled on the instruments next to the black crystal monument that sealed the Broken Star, like armor attached to a knight.
"I adjusted the power today and scheduled it for about ten minutes to see how much progress I can make."
Lian said, nodding towards Aoi:
"Heat it up, sis."
"okay!"
As Aoi spoke, golden light flashed in her eyes, and high temperature spread from her body surface and was absorbed by the instruments around her.
As Aoi heated up, the cables in the entire hall gradually became stained with red light, and finally gathered together next to the black crystal monument, causing it to emit bursts of high temperature:
"Buzzing..."
The high temperature continued to gather, and then, two red high-energy rays shot out from the bottom of the instrument and focused on the bottom of the black crystal monument:
"Buzzing..."
The high temperature melted the interlocking parts of the black crystal monument and the hall, and along the scanned structure, it meticulously cut off the difficult-to-cut connection points.
In order to prevent the cutting process from damaging the instrument itself, Lian spent a lot of time scanning and setting the track, which undoubtedly increased the workload and made the cutting process much longer than expected.
But, Perlis said this is very important and we must not mess it up.
......
3) The Great Wall (Part 3)
"The progress this time... is about one tenth... um..."
After the separation process was completed, Lian frowned as she scrolled through the characters on the tablet.
"The power has reached its limit. If it goes any higher, it might damage the inside... Hmm..."
Aoi removed all the instruments on her body and slowly approached Lian:
"Thank you for your hard work, kid, would you like a drink?"
"Are there any drinks?" Lian looked up with shining eyes. When she found that Aoi was holding a potion, she suddenly lost her temper. "Ugh... Life without carbonated drinks is too hard."
"There's really nothing we can do at this time. I can't go to Weiser to buy it for you."
Aoi squatted down in front of Lian, unscrewed the bottle of medicine, and handed it to Lian:
"Have you been feeling better lately? Does your stomach still hurt?"
Lian took the potion handed over by Aoi, drank it in one gulp, and then exhaled:
"Much better, the pink-haired homegirl is very useful."
"That's good, but you still need to make sure you get some rest. Sometimes you get up in the middle of the night to play games, and I hear you."
"I can't sleep... the environment is not good."
