Chapter 1048 Dusk and the Cold Wind

Seeing Melita's hasty appearance, Calador subconsciously shouted from behind: "Your injury..."

"I'm fine, after all, it's just a short-distance flight." Melita moved her wings, and looked back at the red dragon who stayed behind, "I feel much better after removing those malfunctioning neural amplifiers." , and the healing technique is also very effective - I will leave it to you, I will go and see how Noretta is. By the way, which direction is she in?"

Having known each other for many years, Calador also knows Melita's character, knowing that he can't persuade her at this time, and after confirming that her breath has indeed recovered a lot, he said with a trace of helplessness: "Take off from here, heading south. , to Industrial Heights No. 22, where most of the area has been razed to the ground, only one tower remains, and you should be able to find Noretta's traces easily."

Melita opened her huge dragon wings while listening, and the invisible magic power gathered to slowly lift her huge body: "Thanks, I'll set off right away—whether I find it or not, I will find it in three days." Be back in an hour!"

Accompanied by a sudden gust of wind, the blue dragon soared into the sky and soared in the sky again.

After leaving the temporary shelter, Melita immediately felt weakness and discomfort coming from all parts of her body, as well as pain from several wounds that hadn't fully healed. The pain was actually tolerable, but the ubiquitous feeling of weakness made her extremely unbearable—it felt as if all the muscles, bones, and viscera were filled with lead, and no matter what she did, she needed to spend more than usual More strength, and the body's response was not as good as before. After feeling like this for several minutes, Melita finally realized where this feeling of weakness came from.

From her nervous system used to implants and boosters, from her body memories of thousands of years past.

Part of her dynamic muscle group has been removed, and the nerve multiplier near the spine has also been removed. More than half of the implants in her body have been shut down or half shut down as the Omega system is offline, and they are still running. Only those low-level implants that don't require networking, provide basic enhancements or health aids, and at the same time... she hasn't taken any boosters for a long time.

"I thought I had very little dependence on these things..." Melita felt the weight coming from her limbs, and couldn't help muttering self-deprecatingly, "After all, I am also a dragon of Tarrond." what..."

She raised her head and looked into the distance in the gradually dimming sky. The outline of Industrial Heights 22 had clearly entered her field of vision—she felt some discomfort, which had actually lasted for a long time , has been bothering herself since she just woke up, and now she finally understands the reason for this discomfort: In her field of vision, she can't see the current time, direction indicators, coordinates, and wind information. No undulating magic curves and ads or newsletter windows that keep popping up from the edges...nothing,

Without even a basic filter, she looked into the distance, and all she saw was the natural and primitive sky and earth.

She couldn't remember how long she hadn't seen such a clean and clear world... Or, she hadn't seen anything like it since she was born.

Even I feel so much inconvenience, how long will it take for those compatriots who have undergone profound transformation to adapt to this "empty" vision?

Melita couldn't help but feel some emotion in her heart, and almost at the same time, she caught a flash of white in the corner of her eyes - she almost missed this white, because now her visual aid plug-in can no longer She locked the activity/interest information in her field of vision by herself, but when the figure was about to pass by the edge of her field of vision, she finally noticed it.

She also finally understood why Noretta didn't find herself when she flew through the sky before—it turned out that after losing the assistance of the implant, it was so error-prone to search for things with the naked eye.

Melita quickly lowered her altitude and swooped towards the whiteness. After confirming that the whiteness was still active on the ground, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—Noretta was still alive, and she was lying on a pile of In the middle of the ruins, with his head down, he was busy digging for something.

"Noretta!" At a height of only a few hundred meters from the ground, Melita hovered and shouted at the ground, "What are you doing here? Why didn't you report back to the camp? Are you digging something?"

"Melita?" Bailong, who was busy digging on the surface, only noticed the shadow in the sky at this time. She raised her head and looked at her friend hovering in the air in surprise, "Why are you here? You are in good health What?!"

"I removed some damaged parts, and treated the wound with a healing spell, and it's no longer a serious problem," Melita said while slowly lowering the height. She did it very carefully, because now her nervous system and The muscles are not as good as they used to be. "What are you doing? You have missed the report time for a long time, and the camp is worried about you."

"What? Already missed the time?" Noretta looked very surprised, as if she had only noticed the passage of time at this time, she looked up at the huge sun that had already reached the horizon, and said with surprise in her voice, "It's so fast... …sorry, my clock is off and my visual aids are down, have no idea..."

"Well, I also encountered a similar problem..." Melita shook her head, and then muttered with some self-deprecation, "Is there even a problem with normal time perception after leaving the Omega system... It's really being taken care of by those automatic systems..."

While talking, she also noticed the big pit that Noretta had already dug—there are many similar big pits nearby, obviously this white dragon has been digging here for a long time: "What did you find? Is there something? Why are you digging with your claws? What about your spells?"

"I'm worried that the power of the spell will collapse the structure below... let's not talk about that, you help me, it's right below - I'm sure I've found the right place this time," Noretta thought When he woke up what he was doing, he pulled Melita to help without explaining, "Come on, let's dig together..."

Melita leaned over in a daze, and helped Noretta move the broken metal plates and heavy stones out of the big pit. It didn't take long before she heard the voice of her friend : "Dig it out!"

"This is..." Melita watched in surprise as Noretta poked her entire upper body into the depths of the excavated hole, and carefully took out something from it. After seeing the appearance of the thing, her face His expression suddenly changed slightly.

It was an ellipsoidal container, its surface was covered with scars, but it was still intact and firm, and in the center of the container, there was something lying quietly.

A dragon egg—however, it has been shattered, and the internal substance flows out, and it is solidified on the inner wall of the container like flesh and blood.

Obviously, the intact outer container could not resist the power of the shock wave.

"...it's broken," Melita said in a low voice, subconsciously exerting force on her paws, and a mass of steel under her feet was torn apart amidst creaking noises, "Noretta, this one is already broken." Broken."

Noretta also stared blankly at the container dug out by herself. She was stunned for two or three minutes, then suddenly threw the container aside, turned around and rushed towards the big hole she just dug: "There must be more Not broken! There are countless dragon eggs inside, there must be unbroken ones!"

here?

It was only at this time that Melita realized something belatedly. She raised her head and saw a huge facility like a spiral mountain standing quietly in the glow of the setting sun. The pale golden sun slanted Shining on its melted and re-solidified shell, from the unrecognizable main structure, the former take-off and landing platform and transmission pipeline can still be vaguely distinguished.

She recognized it at last—it was the Hatchery, the largest breeding facility near Agondor.

"Melita! What are you still standing there for?" The white dragon Noretta's voice came from the cave. She raised her head and looked at the blue dragon who was dazed outside, urging her, "Come and help me!" Open the gates down here—my paws are hurt and I can't handle something so big... By the way, these gates are so strong..."

"Just the two of us can't dig anything," Noretta looked up at the scale of the hatchery, and immediately shouted towards the opening, "The storage area on the lower floor of the hatchery is too big, and we may not be able to dig until tomorrow." Can find the next isolation cell, we should go back and get more dragons to help!"

The sound of digging in the depths of the cave finally stopped, and after a few seconds, Noretta slowly leaned out from the inside, with a trace of hesitation: "You are right, but... the camp has limited manpower, Calador may not be able to send many..."

"Let's take this back," Melita picked up the dragon egg container on the ground with her front paws—even though the eggs inside were broken, she was still careful when picking it up, "Kalador will understand, He is a red dragon, and a very old red dragon at that...he understands the meaning of dragon eggs better than other dragons."

...

In the temporary shelter, the dragons gathered together again. After distributing the supplies at hand, they had to discuss how to continue to survive in the ruins. Calador stood among his compatriots, listening to the thoughts of each member, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Things were going in a bad direction, he had expected it, but he couldn't do anything about it.

More and more dragons have symptoms of synergist backlash, others have various physical problems caused by implant failure, and almost all of their compatriots are still facing the huge "psychological hole" after losing the Omega network. ". Physical weakness, pain, and psychological shaking are constantly weakening the will of all compatriots. They have gathered here and have become a group of refugees in the true sense.

However... this is a dragon.

A mighty dragon who once ruled the sky and the earth.

Calador knew that even without implants and boosters, even without Omega and automatic factories, these weak dragons in front of him were still dragons, one of the most powerful creatures in the world, even On the other hand, those who lost the implants and boosters are the ones who have restored the original appearance of the dragon race, and returned to the "normal realm" of the race on the evolutionary path, but... these words don't make any sense now.

The existential dilemma is the immediate problem.

While sighing, he suddenly thought of Melita and Noretta who had left the camp for a long time—how are they doing?

As soon as Calador thought of this, he suddenly heard a whistling sound coming from the sky. He raised his head subconsciously, and saw two blue and white figures approaching the camp from a distance.

Melita and Noretta landed in the center of the camp, and the surrounding compatriots cast their gazes over at the same time. After noticing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit weird, Melita first returned to her human form, and then strode towards Carado Walk in the direction of Er.

"Carador, what's going on here?" Melita couldn't help asking, "Is there another problem with work or material distribution?"

"We are discussing expanding the camp and recovering materials in the collapsed area of ​​the rift," a black dragon walked over from the side, "but we lack tools and manpower—the land is now full of molten and solidified alloys and aggregates We can't dig a new camp with our claws..."

Melita listened to the other party's words, but her eyes moved around the entire camp. Tired faces and scarred bodies appeared in her field of vision. In the end, what she saw was still standing in the form of a giant dragon. On the clearing, the white dragon Noretta was carefully holding the container with its front paws.

"Why can't you use your claws?" Melita suddenly raised her voice. She stared at the black dragon who spoke just now, and then at Calador and the other giant dragons around, "Use your claws, use your teeth, And your breath, your magic, aren’t these very powerful? What humans on the Loren continent can do, what dragons can’t do here—because the environment here is even worse? "

A giant dragon nearby opened its mouth, as if it wanted to say something, but Melita didn't give anyone a chance to speak, and she strode directly to Noretta's side, pointing at the dragon she was holding with her front paws. Something said loudly, "This is what we just dug out with our claws!"

"That's..." Calador noticed what Noretta was holding at this moment, and he opened his eyes subconsciously, "That's from the hatchery..."

"It's a dragon egg, it was broken when we dug it up - but there are still thousands of dragon eggs in the hatchery, and there are many storage warehouses that have not been dug up, and there must be something that can be salvaged in there." eggs," Melita said quickly, "that's what I'm going to say - we need help, no matter how many helpers come, even one, to help us dig out those dragon eggs buried in the ruins. Who wants to go?"

The camp fell into a brief silence, and then finally there were low-key discussions and commotions, and one after another looked at the container covered with scars and dust, and fell on the broken dragon egg inside.

Melita looked at the owner of those gazes, she finally saw some brilliance and warmth in these gazes, she raised her head, and wanted to say something more, but at this moment, she suddenly saw the distance across the sky There was a bright arc.

A flaming meteor suddenly lit up the dusk and fell northwest of Agondor.
