Chapter 30: Freedom of the night

He took two steps and found that the bottom of the hole filled with various creatures now seems to have nothing.
How is this going?
Is everything that I have experienced before is an illusion, or is it true?
Zhou Yu’s feet step on the branches and leaves, they are very soft, and every step will leave footprints.
Exhaled, this Elpis seems to be really dead?
So those creatures that depend on it will leave?
Or before they were originally controlled by Elpis, and now they are finally free?
Zhou Yu leaned back and felt his breathing and heartbeat.
He is still alive. Although incredible, he is still alive.
He has to go back to the base... I don't know if Wu Yun left safely! And Zhou Qing, if he does not go back, he will be very worried.
Zhou Yu looked for a long time and finally found the rope that Wu Yun fell when he left.
With this, Zhou Yu can at least go back along the way.
When he finally got out of the stone road, he saw that all the old trees that protected Elpis were dead.
The world is terrible.
Zhou Yu has been away for a long time before he came out of here.
He was hungry and tired, as if what had happened after falling into Elpis had exhausted his strength.
Suddenly, he remembered that there were two inks in his pocket that he stepped on for himself. Although he didn't know if he could eat it, Zhou Yu felt that he would fall to the ground immediately.
He took out one and found that after so much experience, it was still intact, and there was no sign of losing water and wrinkles.
No matter whether it was harmed by the golden liquid of Elpis, Zhou Yu directly threw it into his mouth.
Still so sweet.
The body is like being injected with some kind of power. Zhou Yu feels that she is not so tired.
Yes, I thought about Zhou Qing and Wu Yun, I don’t know how the ink night is.
Will it go to the glass wall again and stupidly!
Are you waiting to bite his finger?
I hope it sees Zhou Qing, can be a little bit, don't do stupid things.
I miss the soft fluff on the back, the ear that it pulls, and the small wings of its fan.
Zhou Yu smiled a bit.
When I went back, I didn't know what kind of eyes Song Yi would look at.
The helicopter carrying the Alpha squad also came to the huge hole.
When they looked down from a height, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
It was like a huge, defeated flower, spread out at the bottom of the hole.
In the setting sun, the moonlight flows into it, like a huge skirt, as if it is flowing with the moonlight, and it seems like the annual ring of life, still spinning around.
Members of the Alpha squad descended down the ropes of the helicopter and came to the bottom of the cave, releasing the flares.
Everything is like the day.
They examined in detail one inch and one inch, and found Zhao Xiaoping, who lost consciousness in a corner.
They sent Zhao Xiaoping to the helicopter, but did not find Zhou Yu.
One of the team members saw the clear otter in the middle of the cave. He took some of the water from the sampler and left it.
Nibelungen at night is dangerous, and some night-time creatures may attack them, and they must get back as soon as possible.
When they flew over the forest and saw the guardians of the fallen Elpis, they were amazed at what happened.
One of the players suddenly pointed to the woods and shouted: "That... is anyone walking?"
The pilot turned on the glare searchlight and shot it into the woods.
Zhou Yu, who is walking, is illuminated by strong light and raises his hand to block his eyes.
"Is it Zhou Yu?"
"It seems like! Let's go down! You must bring him back to the base!"
The helicopter hovered over Zhou Yu, and the members of the Alpha team fell guns along the ropes.
They didn't know what happened to Zhou Yu in that cave, and he wasn't sure if he was still in a normal state, so the guns were all on, and the guns were aimed at Zhou Yu.
"Are you Zhou Yu?"
"I am." Zhou Yu did not expect that the base would send people to find themselves. In their hearts, Zhou Yu should be dead.
"We are sent by Mr. Song to find you, please follow us."
So Zhou Yu was taken on a helicopter.
The two players sitting across from him along the way kept their vigilance and pointed at him with a gun. For the first time, Zhou Yu felt like she had become a dangerous creature.
After they arrived at the base, everything was the same as the previous one. Zhou Yu went through the whole body scan and blood test before entering the base.
Song Zhi personally supervised his inspection process.
"The blood is normal, there is no bacterial or viral infection, no parasites, but..."
"But what?" Song told the other person to go on.
The Institute’s finger pointed to the brain of Zhou’s monitor:
The scan showed that his brain activity was much higher than before.

"So..." Song Zhiqi looked up and thought.
When Zhou Yu walked out of the quarantine area, the first sight was Wu Yun and Zhou Qing.
Wu Yun’s eyes were red, and Zhou Yu was again seen outside his expectations. Zhou Qing’s expression was much calmer than Zhou Yu’s imagination, as if his own peace came back within his expectations.
"How many times does your kid have to play back to life?" Wu Yun’s voice was shaking. "Do you know how many times I have wanted to kill myself from leaving the cave?"
Zhou Yu smiled lightly and tacitly clashed with Wu Yun: "Fortunately, you are not really doing that."
Wu Yun shook his head helplessly, then hugged Zhou Yu: "You have to tell me how you survived."
"Of course." Zhou Yu also shot Wu Yun, his eyes fell on Zhou Qing's face.
"Brother... you are safe and fine. Don't make such a dangerous decision in the future."
"I will be cautious." Zhou Yu nodded.
"Look at the ink night. It won't be good if you don't see you after waking up."
Zhou Yu’s heartstring was slammed:
Is it not good? Does it want to knock open the glass wall again?

That little fool!
"No. It shrinks there, and even if I go inside with it, it doesn't respond. The bio-scan shows that the body's temperature is decreasing, the heart rate is slow, and nothing has been eaten."
"What did Carlos feed it?"
"Specially formulated nutrient solution looks like human blood. I don't know if it is the night of the ink, it is not blood, or the ink night only wants to see you. Once the ink night refuses, the body will refuse, the injection can not The injection entered, and he refused to eat anything."
"I will go see it!"
Looking at the back of Zhou Yu, Zhou Qing slowly clenched his fists, and his palms held the fruit of the Elpis that the s-class creature had given to himself.
Zhou Yu strode to the area where the ink night was located. The first thing he saw was that the ink night curled up in the corner.
So small, so lonely.
Zhou Yu is inexplicably distressed.
Carlos, who was responsible for taking care of the ink night, came to Zhou Yu and said with a headache: "Since you left, this little guy has been like this. Nothing reacts to anything. Can die of me! I heard that you have something wrong before. I am still thinking if you can't come back, is it going to starve yourself!"
"Don't eat for a few days, it should be hungry." Zhou Yu knocked on the glass with his fingers, "Ink night."
There was no reaction in the night, and even the ears that were pulled there did not lift up.
"Look, let's see..." Carlos showed a worried look.
"I went in to accompany it."
Carlos opened the second door for Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yuxin walked to the side of the ink night and sat down.
He put his hand on his back, his fingers gently embedded in the soft fluff of the back of the ink, and the body temperature of the ink night was really low.
He didn't talk, hugged it up, learned how to spoil it before, and licked its face.
But the ink night still closed his eyes, and his head was slightly removed, and he did not look at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu smiled in his heart, and this little thing is clearly tempered.
auzw.com "In the night, I went to perform a very dangerous task, so I didn't stay with you for the time being. But Zhou Qing said that he came to accompany you, but you ignored him, you Really not very embarrassed. Zhou Qing is my most important person, you don't know?" Zhou Yu's voice is light.
In addition to being bullied by classmates at school in the early days, Zhou Yu has not had such a person for a long time.
"Well..." At this time, the ink night raised his left ear slightly and posted it on Zhou Yu’s chest. It seemed to be listening to his heartbeat.
"I almost died. You know what it means to die? You just can't see me again, I will disappear forever." Zhou Yu used his chin to smash on the head of the ink night.
"Well?" The ink night suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu with his small head. It seemed very nervous and nervous, and even the small wings on his back were lifted.
"And the creatures of Nibelungen... No... even if compared to you, the length of my life is not worth mentioning."
If the night spirit is not fatally wounded, it will continue to live.
"Well--" The sound of the ink night stretched, then shook his head, stretched out his front paws, squatted on Zhou Yu's forehead, and then shrank back.
At that moment, Zhou Yu seemed to understand what it was saying: I am with you. If you don't, I will not exist.
"A fool." Zhou Yu hugged it.
Carlos, who monitored them, exhaled.
For the first time, he saw any intimate contact between humans and Nibelungen's creatures. He didn't know what Zhou Yu had experienced, but he was glad that Zhou Yu was alive.
Zhou Yu pointed his finger on its nose: "Hungry?"
The amber big eyes of the ink night smashed up, very happy. It stretched out its tongue and slammed it on Zhou Yu’s fingertips.
Zhou Yu thought that it would bite himself right away, but did not expect it to stick out his claws and keep Zhou Yu's fingers.
It seems to be saying: I will protect you.
Don't give me more warmth.
I am afraid that one day, when I can leave here, I will not let you down.
In the night, I loosened my claws, carefully holding Zhou Yu’s fingers and gently biting it down, as if I was afraid of Zhou Yu’s pain.
Such subtle feelings poured into his blood again, like there were countless slender and warm streams that infiltrated into the gap between every cell of Zhou Yu, filling him up with him.
The night of the ink closed his eyes and made a whistling sound.
It is really hungry.
Zhou Yu can feel that the body temperature of the ink night is rising.
I don't know if it is because it is consuming its own blood. Zhou Yu has an illusion that the heartbeat of the night is synchronized with himself.
After the meal was full, the ink night still did not loosen Zhou Yu’s fingers.
It turned slightly and revealed his belly.
Zhou Yu smiled and covered the other hand and gave it a sigh.
The ink night immediately gave a comfortable snoring sound.
Zhou Yu turned his finger to the left, and the head of the ink night followed to the left. Zhou Yu took his fingers to the right, and the head of the ink night went to the right.
It seems that Zhou Yu is teasing himself, and the ink night bites Zhou Yu unsatisfactorily, but it does not hurt.
He sat in the ink night for more than an hour, and the night of the night made a soft squeak, as if he was asleep again.
Probably because Zhou Yu is back, the ink night can finally be relieved.
When Zhou Yuyi looked up, he saw the opposite side of the glass wall, and Song Zhi looked at them thoughtfully.
Song Zhichao Zhou Yu made a "out" gesture, and Zhou Yu knew that everything he had experienced in the caves of Elpis had to tell Song.
"Carlos, if the ink night wakes up and temper, you tell it I will come with it in a while."
"Does it understand?" Carlos asked dumbly.
"What do you think?"
Zhou Yu left with a smile, followed by Song Zhi, and came to the office of Song Zhi.
"The Alpha team made some liquid samples from the caves of Elpis." Song Zhi always saw the mountain.
Human time is short for Nibelungen, so they have to do as much research as possible in a limited time, not wasting time on nonsense.
"Is there a research result so soon?" Zhou Yu asked.
Song Zhi shook his head: "That's just water. But... it's pure water without any microbes and impurities."
"Oh……"
"It’s like Elpies has exhausted all his nutrients in the evening." Song Zhi looked at Zhou Yu’s eyes. "When Wu Yun came back, he reported to me that Elpis came through their thinking. Control the living body."
"Yes. It controls the researcher Zhao Xiaoping."
"Zhao Xiaoping came back. But he hasn't woken up yet. He has detected that his brain activity is almost absent. Dr. Daniel suspects that he will die when he continues. This may be the aftereffect of being controlled by Elpis."
Zhou Yu does not agree with this view. So many creatures in the cave are controlled by Erpis, and after the depletion of Elpis, those creatures have left.
"We brought all the remains of Elpis in the cave back to the base."
Zhou Yu was surprised: "The wreck is very big..."
"Yes. The research team is dissecting it. Although it is the shape of plants, the complexity of the neural structure of Elpis far exceeds that of humans. When you sacrifice yourself to save Wuyun, say Elpis. The goal is you. If it is to treat you as a nutrient, what is the reason you are alive now?"
"The reason is very simple... Elpis did not regard me as food or nutrition, but..." Zhou Yu was thinking, and what kind of description is more in line with his relationship with Elpis.
"What is it?"
"It is the carrier of its memory, the inheritance of its thinking. Elpies will pass on what they have seen from generation to generation. But this one Elpis has lost its own fruit, so it needs another creature. Come accept its memory."
Song Zhi’s eyes lit up and buckled Zhou’s wrist:
Erpis is a very long-lasting creature in Nibelungen. If it gives you your memory, then there are many creatures here... Do you know their habits and their characteristics?"
Although Song Zhi’s strength is great, Zhou Yu is easily relaxed.
"Mr. Song, do you believe it?"
This is nonsense for anyone. Memory inherited from other plants?
It’s even more fantastic than a fantasy movie.
"In the memory of Elpis, is there a s-class creature whose original form is a translucent silver scale creature..."
"Is that the s-class creature that took your wife?" Zhou Yu interrupted Song Zhi.
"Yes. Have you got any information from Elpis? Where do I find it? Is there any way to kill it?" Song’s eyes fell into a state of madness and looked very scary.
"Mr. Song... You have to know that s-class creatures don't have their fixed form, because they can change their externalities, they can be anything. They can even become human beings, and they are among us."
Song gave a horrified expression and fell back on the back of the chair.
"The kind of creature you said, I don't know why it was named by the research team here. But if you describe the translucent silver scale, the slender body, the character is arrogant and cold, it should be Nibelungen from ancient times. The time is the creature that has survived to this day, and the night spirit is its servant. It is like the sword bone disc and the blue firefly are in the same way as Elpis. No... not the same, the night spirit is absolutely loyal to it."
Song Zhi’s breathing gradually stabilized. He grabbed his face and said,
Do you know that there are several categories of s-class creatures in Nibelungen?

"I know. Three major categories. In the water, on the land and in the air."
"Yes, we call these three types of s-class creatures the king of Nibelungen. And the silver-scale creatures are called the king of the kings."
"There is a legend, you hurt it."
"Yes, the neurotoxin that you use to make bullets now comes from its spinal cord. It loses a lot of spinal cord, but it escapes my control. I don't know where it is now sleeping. Once it recovers. Come over, we will all die." Song suddenly thought of something, "You just said that the night spirit is its servant? You don't have a night spirit? Can't you find it through that little thing?"
"Ink night? It's still so small! It has never grown up in its own community! It hasn't even seen s-class creatures!"
"But...something is in its genes. This creature must be in some way to keep in touch with its owner!"
"I think you are crazy, Mr. Song. Nibelungen is so big, ink night is like a baby, if it really has the ability to find its owner, if it really has something to do with that s-class creature, It will not be so obsessive to enter the base to find me, but to find its owner, that is its ownership."
"...it's really...it's what we copied directly from the eggs that Ye Ling didn't hatch but died.... Maybe it doesn't have the nature of Nibelung's creatures. But one day it will... ...for the coming of that day, for it to stand on our side..."
Song Zhi seems to have a very important decision.
"Mr. Song?"
His paranoid expression made Zhou Yu inexplicably worried.
"I decided to let it live with you and leave the breeding area of ​​a-class creatures. I want to let it be free, let it restore the nature of the night, but not do anything that hurts us, as long as you are there. I want You train it, teach it, assimilate it!"
Zhou Yu opened his mouth and the development of the matter completely exceeded his expectations.
But letting the ink night leave there is indeed what Zhou Yu wants, but Zhou Yu has never turned into a human tool or pet.
Song Zhi directly contacted Carlos and asked him to hand over the ink night to Zhou Yu.
When Zhou Yu left Song Zhi’s office, Song suddenly stopped him:
You have not told me it?

"As you know, it's so powerful. Mr. Song, how did you hurt it at the time? That might be the way you killed it."
After that, Zhou Yu left.
Song Zhi was sitting alone in an empty but narrow office with a sad expression in his eyes.
"Do you kill it again? That's impossible... because it won't trust me anymore."
Zhou Yulai came to Carlos. Carlos asked with some concern: "Is there really no problem for Mr. Song? Although I don't want the little guy to stay in this area, it will be depressed after it is closed! But if you put it out like this, , will it run away?"
Zhou Yu took a shot of Carlos's shoulder: "I will take it regularly to let you check what heartbeat temperature is, and if I am... it will come back even if it runs away."
