With the coming of night, the rain is falling more and more densely.
Perhaps the smoke that was just born a few days ago still lingered in the sky for a long time. The rain was eroded and turned into thick black, splashing on the earth, making it more fuzzy and chaotic in all directions.
The city is like a rotten corpse.
The dilapidated high-rise buildings are its crisscrossed bones.
In the ruins, children are like hungry hyenas, running between rain and lightning.
Everyone''s posture was a little anxious, and they wanted to catch the two defectors themselves instead of others.
However, it is a bit hasty. I don''t know if someone''s defection will affect them and make the Puritans have a bad impression on the whole group of "sons of light".
Raindrops, like waterfalls, gradually block the view 10 meters away.
"Hua Hua" of the rain, but also blocked most of the sound, including the sound of alarm carry crystal brain.
The torrential rain has brought children an illusory sense of security, making them think that they can stretch their will and will not be found by anyone.
And their route has long deviated from the "safe area" set by the tutors and entered the deepest unknown area of the city.
Some children lost their way, fell to the depths of the ruins, and left the army.
Some children occasionally find each other in the black rain and confront each other quietly. It is only when the lightning lights up their pale faces that they find that each other is not the target of hunting and they are disappointed.
More suspicious rumors spread like viruses in children''s short contact.
It is said that the two students who escaped were a man and a woman. They violated the extremely serious law when performing the task and had to be expelled from the examination room and sent to the temple for purification. They were the same as the child who stole the giant soldier model yesterday, so they took the risk and ran away.
It is said that the whole Heibao star was occupied twice by the Empire and the Holy Alliance in just a few decades, and most of the area was turned into scorched earth. However, the Holy Alliance''s troops were seriously insufficient. At present, only 1% of the colonization towns, Xinggang and mining bases on the planet''s surface were controlled, while the remaining 99% of the area was vast and uninhabited.
As long as you can escape to the no man''s land, you will win. Shengmeng can''t mobilize a large number of human and material resources to enter the no man''s land to catch two nobody.
Some people say that under Heibao star, there are still countless imperial secret roads, arsenals and underground cities, and hundreds of imperial guerrillas are insisting on resistance. These people welcome the "surrender" of the youth of the holy alliance. On the one hand, they can bring them the latest intelligence, on the other hand, they can show the "effect" of the invasion of heaven and evil, It is estimated that the two escaped teenagers and girls just want to escape from the city and go deep underground to find the imperial guerrillas.
As long as they stay underground together with the imperial guerrillas, they can''t get out and persist for a year and a half. If the imperial army can make a comeback and occupy Heibao star again, it will achieve the goal of "from the holy alliance to the Empire". Maybe it will become the propaganda object of the Empire and be touted as the hero of "going to freedom".
These rumors, like dark ghost fire, are burning in the dark. No matter how the rainstorm rages, they can''t be exterminated.
As for who said "someone said", the children were confused, but no one could say clearly.
Through the search in the middle of the night, Thangka didn''t find the shadow of the two defectors, and even lost touch with his classmates after he stumbled and fell into the mud pit.
In all directions, there were horizontal raindrops flying over him. The mud splashed by the heavy rain covered his gas mask. Taking off the mask, he flew into his eyes and mouth again, which made him unable to open his eyes.
Even the portable crystal brain is creaking. The three-dimensional images presented are chaotic and distorted. The smart net is seriously disturbed by the storm and lightning. It is unable to contact the students and receive instructions from the tutor and the dean.
"Monitor!"
"Where are you?"
Thangka stumbles and feels like a little ant. The tall and towering silhouettes around him are all black tombstones. After walking for more than ten minutes, he can''t tell the direction and area clearly, and he doesn''t see half of his classmates.
In Thangka''s heart, a strange idea suddenly appeared.
The whole town seems to be on its own.
And all the students, tutors and soldiers of the purification army are searching for the two escaped students, maybe running farther and farther in the opposite direction.
If you also take advantage of this time to escape, is it not very likely to escape from this abandoned city, go deep into the no man''s land, or even find an underground base of the imperial guerrillas?
It''s not that "some people say" that the imperialists welcome the saints who take the initiative to go to the past. Will they become the "Heroes" in the propaganda of the Empire?
Then he can get rid of his life completely.
This idea, like sharp lightning, flashed in my mind, which made Thangka shiver deeply. I couldn''t believe it was his own idea.
"Yao Lao"
Thangka asked in a trembling voice, "did you lead me to think so?"
"No, I''m not so mean. It''s your own idea."
Li Yao was silent for a while and continued, "maybe someone led you to think so, but it''s not me."
"What do you mean?"
Thangka is getting more and more confused.
The world around him is like the mouth of a black beast, swallowing him with his belt bone.
Although the space on the planet is hundreds of millions of times larger than that on the starship, he feels suffocated.
Calm down, Thangka quickly smashed the absurd idea.
The most important thing is that the monitor is not around. Even if he really wants to escape, he has to be with the monitor, right?
incorrect! Of course not! How could he escape? He has unlimited faith in the gods, and he is extremely loyal to the supreme good guru. How can he have such absurd and evil ideas? This is blasphemy, this is disgrace, this is the deepest and heaviest sin!
"Wow!"
At this time, a dragon like lightning broke through the sky, illuminating the street with a radius of 100 meters.
Thangka saw a classmate stooping forward.
"Hello
Thangka yelled and ran after him. "I''m here. What class are you in? Wait for me!"
Perhaps the rain is too loud, this student did not hear his voice, still limping forward, speed also accelerated a few points.
However, his leg injury was very serious and he was soon overtaken by Thangka.
"Shao Jie?"
Thangka turned on the lighting mode of the portable crystal brain, and in a flash on the other side''s face, he found that it was actually a classmate of his own class. He excitedly said, "how are you here, where are the other students, the monitor? Do you see the monitor, or are you also separated from everyone?"
"I..."
The boy named Shao Jie stammered, "I''m also separated from them. I''m looking for them. Why don''t we look for them separately?"
He was beaten black and blue by the Deputy monitor Liao Meng, and his facial features were distorted, showing a kind of ferocious and pitiful expression.
Thangka blinked, and the light moved from Shao Jie''s face to his body. He found that Shao Jie was carrying a huge mountaineering bag with two small bags in his hand, which were full of food - not synthetic food distributed by the college for them, but imperial food picked up from the city, or high-energy nutrients based on compressed biscuits and energy bars.
Look at Shao Jie''s flickering eyes again, Thangka knows everything.
"You want to run, too?"
Thangka stepped back two steps and murmured, "how can you betray the Supreme Master and the gods in this way?"
"I didn''t!"
Shao Jie''s face seemed to be heavily punched by his invisible fist. He screamed, "I didn''t want to run away, no!"
His cry was torn up by the rainstorm, and the whole person was like drowning in the rainstorm.
"Then why did you pick up such a big backpack, which is full of high-energy food that we will never allow to eat!"
Thangka is righteous, forgetting that he is still eating haisai in the supermarket during the day. "We have emergency supplements with us, which are enough to support the temporary task of a night. If it''s not for the long journey, what are you doing with these things secretly?"
Like Thangka, Shao Jie is just a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. When his lies are exposed, he becomes a ball of anger.
"Leave me alone, Thangka, I can''t go back!"
Shao Jie cried and said pitifully, "you know, I had a fight with Liao Meng just now - he is the Deputy monitor and has the right to discipline his classmates, but I have no right to fight with him. I, I have fallen, I have violated the supreme good way, and I will be sent to the temple for purification. I don''t want to be like that, and I don''t want to become a muddled miner or soldier at the bottom.
"You, don''t you think you haven''t seen me, Thangka, please!"
Thangka was silent, his mind was in a mess, and he murmured, "you, you really shouldn''t sing the music of the Empire."
"I didn''t mean it, I swear I didn''t mean it, but the voices came out of my nose for no reason!"
Shao Jie exclaimed, "there was nothing wrong. Liao Meng insisted on holding on to me. He couldn''t control his emotions. Did he still talk about me? I, I have no way to go, Thangka, let me go, no one will know! "
Thangka has never seen such weak and pitiful eyes in Shao Jie''s eyes. In other words, he has never seen such weak and pitiful eyes in any of his classmates.
His psychological defense was retreating and collapsing step by step, his legs shaking.
"You can''t let him go."
Li Yao sighed, "go up and stop him."
"What?"
Thangka was stunned. He didn''t understand why Li Yao, as the "demon of heaven", would say such words, "don''t you want him to" go to freedom "
"He can''t escape, and so can you."
Li Yao said coldly, "someone is staring at you. This is part of the" ultimate test ". The torrential rain is just an illusion. Your every move is under the spotlight and closely monitored."
