How to Feed an Abyss! - Chapter 96

Following the Mole Man, they came to another corner of the city.

Withered hands stretched out from the ground and grabbed the ground, Di Wen crawled out covered in sand. She shook slightly, and the sand slid off the black fur. The other mole people also returned to the ground one after another, following her closely.

From the outlines of the surrounding ruins, it can be seen that there was once a huge building here—perhaps an outpost.

Di Wen walked a few laps on the thick yellow sand, constantly moving his nose, smelling the smell. She suddenly stood there, scratching the ground with her sharp nails, a group of mole men came to help, and five minutes later, an iron door appeared in front of her.

The iron gate leads to the ground.

Di Wen was digging and digging in his pocket.

Her **** pack was small, stuffed with raw meat, and made a sticky sound when she touched it. She took out a palm-sized metal box and opened it carefully. Inside was a dark golden key.

The key is inserted/into the iron door and turned gently—

There was a sound of gears and metal friction. It was hard to imagine that after so many years, the mechanism was still sensitive.

Di Wen stretched out his hand, trying to pull the iron door open, but he couldn’t pull it away. A few more mole men came up to help, and they all tried hard together, and the iron door remained motionless.

They were all too thin, all skinny.

“I’ll come.” Lu Tinghan said.

The Mole Man stepped back cautiously. Lu Tinghan stepped forward, grabbed the handle and exerted all his strength.

“Squeak—” In the sharp sound, the heavy iron door was pulled open, and a string of quicksand fell along the crack of the door towards the dark stairs.

Di Wen led the Mole Man into the room.

Shi Yuan and Lu Tinghan walked last.

Lu Tinghan turned down the light of the flashlight, illuminating the dusty walls and a few rotten spider webs.

The warehouse is far less deep than the secret town, and it goes to the bottom quickly. The outermost area is a small square, which is empty, and further forward is divided into different warehouse compartments.

Di Wen went straight to the fifth cold storage compartment. As soon as he opened the door, the smell of corruption hit his face.

Stinky, stale, like thousands of corpses rotting here.

Shi Yuan couldn’t take it anymore, covered his mouth and nose tightly with Lu Tinghan’s coat, and looked around. The cold storage has not been refrigerated for a long time. After so many years, the meat and vegetables have completely rotted. He only saw the bones of various animals, some like fish bones, some like pig or cow bones, buried in suspicious dross inside.

The Mole Man is not afraid of the smell, and actively jumps up and down in the cold storage.

The innermost shelf was full of cans, which is what they came for. In the next hour, they came out with all kinds of cans and piled them outside the cold storage.

Shi Yuan leaned over to look at it, and couldn’t even read the labels of the cans, let alone the expiration date – he seriously suspected that these things had expired.

He asked Lu Tinghan in a low voice, “Are these things really edible?”

Lu Tinghan also hesitated for a while, “I don’t know how long the imperial cans can last… Besides,” he glanced at the Mole Man, “they seem to have a good stomach.”

“Okay.” Shi Yuan said, “At least their appetite is better than both of us.”

He knelt down and continued to study the cans.

After the cold storage was moved, all the Mole People gathered around Devin. She blew a long whistle, and two mole men staggered out. They were carrying huge hiking backpacks. After opening, there were empty backpacks inside.

They chattered and stuffed the cans into their backpacks, and in the end, each carried a bulging backpack and ran around on hands and feet.

Di Wen whistled again and pointed to the end of the warehouse, and the mole people ran over. She told Lu Tinghan and Shi Yuan, “Follow me.”

There is a long corridor at the end of the warehouse.

After finding so many cans, Di Wen was in a good mood visibly.

As she walked she said, “Okay—we can get on with the Dunton story.” She grinned. “I don’t believe there’s anyone alive there.”

“Why?” Lu Tinghan asked.

“You haven’t seen how terrifying the mole swarm is.” Di Wen said, “If you saw it with your own eyes, you wouldn’t ask such a question. Since the death of the king, the empire’s army has collapsed, how can it withstand monsters?”

“Where’s Alicia? How’s she?”

Di Wen asked back, “Do you think the little princess can survive? What does she know! Don’t worry about the royal family, they are all dead, and we are the only survivors.” Her cloudy eyes flickered in the darkness, “The day Dunn fell , I was also in the city, and I saw the defeat of the army with my own eyes.”

Lu Tinghan “You ran away?”

“What else? Otherwise, can I still stand in front of you?” Di Wen giggled, “As soon as they appeared, we Mole Man ran away!”

Lu Tinghan said, “That is to say, you didn’t really see the entire army wiped out.”

“…” Di Wen’s laughter stopped suddenly, and he turned his eyes to look at him, his fangs looming, seemingly displeased.

Her appearance is very frightening.

It would be frightening to change someone else, but Lu Tinghan has seen more monsters than people, and Shi Yuan…Shi Yuan is only afraid of people. Di Wen’s beast-like expression and hideous countenance, he had met his opponent.

Lu Tinghan remained calm, “We have indeed received a signal from Dunton. I will not give up until I confirm it with my own eyes.”

Di Wen stared at him, and said slowly, “…you are a soldier, right? What’s your name?”

They had been together for a while, and it was the first time she had asked this question.

It seemed that from this moment she started to care.

“Lu Tinghan.” He replied, “General Lu Tinghan.”

“Admiral?” Di Wen’s expression became even weirder, “So young? It seems that there is really no one in the alliance—then General Lu, why are you so obsessed with Dunton? Do you think we are a community with a shared future for mankind? Or do you think that Dunton is the safest and can be used as a safe haven? If it is the latter, you must be disappointed, as long as the Gamma Abyss becomes restless, no underground city can sustain it.”

“There are both.” Lu Tinghan said, “When I have time, I will explain clearly to you about the three plans of ‘Echo’, ‘Looking’ and ‘Deep Dive’.”

“By the way,” he hugged Shi Yuan again, “this is my lover, Shi Yuan.”

Shi Yuan actively greeted “Hello!”

Di Wen: “It’s hard not to see… You guys are so sticky, I won’t be surprised if you start **** in front of me the next second.”

Shiyuan?

Shi Yuan raised his head and asked Lu Tinghan, “Are we going?”

“No, it won’t.” Lu Tinghan straightened his head, letting him concentrate on walking and stop imagining.

Shi Yuan: “Oh.”

While talking, they passed through a small door and reached the other side of the warehouse.

On the other side is a long corridor. When you walk to the end and open the embossed door, you will find a huge hall.

The walls are dark gold, full of portraits and landscapes, framed with precious stones, red, orange, yellow and green. The marble pillars are delicately carved, and a long table is placed in the middle. The white tablecloth is covered with dust, and the candlesticks are rusted, but the magnificence of the past can be vaguely seen.

“The place where the princess used to love to come.” Di Wen said casually, “The castle in the secret town can’t satisfy her, and she needs a bigger banquet hall, so the king built another one. They meet here, eat Delicacies from mountains and seas, such as whitebait from the North Sea, wild deer from the Eivor Mountains, special flower cakes from Heldon, white grapes from the southern manor, as long as the princess orders, you can get whatever you want.”

Lu Tinghan said, “You know her very well.”

Di Wen didn’t answer, and walked towards the long table

The Mole Man was running in the dark, and the great hall became their paradise.

“Di Wen!” “Di Wen!” “Di Wen!”

They uttered inarticulate yells.

“We’re hungry!” “Eat!” “Di Wen, meat!”

“Here we come.” Di Wen stooped, stepped on a chair and stood on the long table. She opened the backpack this time—it was full of raw meat.

When Shi Yuan was thinking about how she had so much meat, Lu Tinghan explained to him in a low voice, “This is all monster meat.”

Shiyuan? !

He hugged his tail a little scared.

——Di Wen and the Mole Man are afraid of Shi Yuan, and Shi Yuan is also afraid of them, forming a weird cycle of scaring.

Di Wen weighed the heavy meat and threw it out.

Pieces of raw meat flitted through the air, and the Mole Man took turns fighting over them. She walked slowly on the long table, kicked over the candlestick, stepped on the crumpled tablecloth, and threw monster meat as she walked. Lu Tinghan shone the extremely dim light of the flashlight, elongating her shadow, and falling on the gorgeous ceiling like a monster. Every time Di Wen waved his hand, the Mole Man surged forward, and their shadows flew over their heads, like a group of entangled snakes.

Di Wen looked at the Mole Man, giggled, and said in a low voice, “Eat, eat, you’re full—eat quickly!”

Shi Yuan looked at her for a while, then bent his tail in confusion.

He never knew how to read words.

But at this moment, he strangely felt that Di Wen’s feelings for the Mole Man… were subtle.

He glanced at Lu Tinghan, and Lu Tinghan was also looking at Di Wen.

“Eat, eat.” Di Wen murmured, “You are all good boys.”

She stretched out her hand, and two pieces of meat “slapped” on the painting on the wall. It was a portrait of Alicia, the little princess was wearing a black dress, sitting like a swan by the lake, her expression was somewhat arrogant and haughty.

The Mole Man swarmed up to fight for the meat, and tore the portrait and her pride to pieces.

Di Wen threw several pieces of meat onto the painting.

Alicia loves beauty, and most of the portraits are of her. The Mole Man tore up her crown, cat’s eye gemstone necklace, white skirt like wings and her beautiful smile.

Di Wen walked to the end of the long table.

The portrait of the king hangs in the center of the hall.

Morton von Cavendish is as strong as a lion, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, wearing a dark red cloak, with his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword. His hair is gray at the roots, his momentum is undiminished, and his ambition will never tire and make people feel old.

Di Wen watched him for a few seconds, then dumped all the remaining raw meat at his feet.

The Mole Man swarmed onto the long table and gnawed at her feet. After so many years, there was another feast here. Di Wen seemed tired, sighed and let them grab food, walked back to the table, and sat down slowly.

Her back became even more bent, and she said, “General Lu Tinghan, you—tell me about the three plans.”

Lu Tinghan told her everything.

He briefly described the situation of the alliance, and then said that they would take a frigate to observe the bottom of the abyss, and imitate the signal of the abyss to cover the entire city. And only the underground city is the safest.

This is a brand new thing for the people of the empire.

Di Wen took some time to digest, and said, “So, you want to find a relatively intact underground city and use the simulated abyss signal to hide it?”

“Yes.” Lu Tinghan replied, “It’s not a must, if you live in a suitable place, then of course it’s fine.”

“No, the place we live in can’t be called a city, it’s just a ‘nest’, not suitable for human beings.” Di Wen said hoarsely, “You have to find another place.” She sighed deeply, “I kind of know why you Get persistent.”

“We only have seven or eight months.” Lu Tinghan said, “After that, monsters will come out of the black crystals, and the main city cannot survive.”

For the purpose of protection, he concealed the existence of Time Abyss, and only said that Abyss No. 0 froze monsters by chance.

Di Wen was silent for a while, and said, “Your idea… is also very attractive to me. We haven’t lived in a place that can be called a ‘city’ for a long time, and I almost forgot what it feels like.”

Lu Tinghan asked, “What is your ‘nest’ like?”

“It’s a terrible place, it’s underground, damp and dark, and it’s up to us to dig it out bit by bit.” Di Wen said, fiddling with her long, sharp nails. There are a lot fewer colonies. In the early years, we were forced to move every once in a while, digging ‘nests’ in new places.”

Lu Tinghan looked at her, “So, are you willing to help us?”

“I really want to say yes.” Di Wen smiled with a distorted face, “but it is very difficult for us to survive. The food in the lair is almost gone, otherwise, we would not take the risk of coming here to find food. Besides, we have no The Fa sees the light and is weak and weak, how can I help you?”

Lu Tinghan: “It is the greatest help for you to understand this place. We will also help you within the scope of our ability. Regardless of the past of the alliance and the empire, we now have a common front. If you want, we can use the aircraft to ride You go back to the ‘nest’ and discuss the future.”

Di Wen’s smile deepened, “Admiral Lu, what you said is so touching. If all the alliance members were like you, our relationship would be much better. Unfortunately, you and I are not in that era.”

“No, it won’t be.” Lu Tinghan said, “If I was born in wartime, the whole empire would have heard of my name.”

— in what way?

The enemy’s top general, of course, hates it to the bone. With Lu Tinghan’s talent, it will surely become a nightmare for the empire.

Di Wen was taken aback, and burst into a sharp smile, “Admiral, you are really an interesting person… Should I be glad you were born too late?!”

She laughed until her facial features wrinkled together, and she couldn’t straighten her waist. The Mole Man on the long table finished eating the meat, licked his mouth contentedly, and crawled to her side again.

Di Wen stretched out his old hand and caressed their distorted features, sharp claws and black fur.

The long table was in a mess, and the portraits were torn into pieces.

She giggled “We’ll do what we can to help you, go see what’s going on in Leon and see if there’s a miracle. Let me re-introduce myself! ‘Dewin’ means ‘ugly beast’ in Imperial slang. “

“I was born in London, the capital, and I was the first mole man in the world. They all call me-‘Dewin the Kingslayer’!”

Two hours later.

The sandstorm stopped, and the Mole Man came to the edge of the city with food on his back and a few guns and ammunition he found from the back of the hall.

They became restless as the craft approached.

Di Wen blew a long whistle, and they barely stopped in place.

Everyone boarded the aircraft.

When Adjutant Ning and the others saw Di Wen, they were too surprised to speak. When Lu Tinghan told them the situation, everyone was shocked and sighed.

“However,” Adjutant Ning said, “there’s still hope in Dunton. I still believe there are survivors out there.”

The aircraft left the ground and headed straight towards the direction of the “nest”.

The Mole Man was afraid of light, so they all stayed in the warehouse of the aircraft, turned off the lights and rested. Di Wen could bear the light a little bit, standing in the corridor, watching the earth fly by outside the window.

It was too late, and the earth was dark. Perhaps the infection gave her night vision and the ability to see the scenery outside the window, but at this moment no one knew what she was looking at.

No one knew what she was thinking.

Shi Yuan played with his tail on the sofa for a while, and secretly observed Di Wen by the way.

The facial features have been distorted, and her eyes have been clouded, but judging from her facial contours, she should have been a beauty when she was young. Despite the deformity caused by the infection, she was really old, and her hair was extremely gray.

Shi Yuan’s human observation plan didn’t last long, but was interrupted by Lu Tinghan.

Lu Tinghan said, “Go to sleep, if you don’t sleep, it will be dawn.”

Di Wen also went to the warehouse to accompany the Mole Man, and Shi Yuan followed Lu Tinghan back to the room.

They exchange a lingering kiss.

After the kiss was over, Shi Yuan whispered, “Lu Tinghan…”

“What?” Lu Tinghan stroked his temples.

“I’m thinking about what Di Wen said.” Shi Yuan raised his head and looked into those gray-blue eyes, “I’m thinking, if we met in another era… I don’t know what kind of person you would be.”

Lu Tinghan smiled, “I am who I am, and I won’t change.”

“Okay.” Shi Yuan bent the tip of his tail, “Anyway, whenever I meet me, I like to touch my head.”

“I believe that.” Lu Tinghan’s smile deepened.

Shi Yuan was still imagining. Maybe in another era when there is no more death knell, the general and his little monster can get off work together, walk slowly on the street together, and then squat on the side of the road to watch a wild flower that is just about to bloom.

Watch it for as long as you want.

Lu Tinghan rubbed Shi Yuan’s head fiercely, and Shi Yuan purred in satisfaction.

They hug each other and sleep.

Shi Yuan asked again in a low voice, “Are we really sticky?”…

Lu Tinghan “Hmm.”

The aircraft skimmed the earth.

The hills in the distance are undulating and continuous.

This is a great place to dig, and the Mole Man lives here. Its lines are graceful, graceful and lifeless. In the dim light of the morning sun, it looks like a naked female corpse lying in the wilderness.
