Chapter 1048： Dusk and cold wind

Seeing Melita in such a hurry, Calador subconsciously shouted from behind: "Your injury..."

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

After having known each other for many years, Calador also knew Merita’s character. He knew that he could not persuade the other party at this time, and confirmed that the other party’s breath had indeed recovered a lot, before he said with a hint of helplessness: "Take off from here, heading south , To No. 22 Industrial Heights, where most of the area has been razed to the ground now, only one high tower remains, you should be able to easily find the trace of Noretta."

Melita opened her huge dragon wings as she listened. The invisible magic gathered and slowly lifted her huge body: "Thank you, I will set out now-whether I find it or not, I will be there. I'll be back within hours!"

Along with a sudden gust of wind, the blue dragon rose into the sky and soared in the sky again.

After leaving the temporary shelter, Melita immediately felt the weakness and discomfort from all parts of her body, as well as the pain from several wounds that were not fully healed. The pain can actually be tolerated, but the ubiquitous feeling of weakness makes her particularly unbearable-it feels like the muscles, bones and viscera all over the body are filled with lead. No matter what you do, it costs more than usual. With more strength, and the body's response was not as good as before, after this feeling lasted for several minutes, Melita finally realized where this weakness came from.

From her nervous system, which is accustomed to implants and synergists, from her physical memories of the past thousands of years.

Part of her dynamic muscles have been removed, and the nerve booster near the spine has also been removed. More than half of the implants in her body have been shut down or semi shut down as the Omega system is offline, and are still running. Only those low-level implants that do not require networking, provide basic enhancement or health assistance functions, and at the same time... she hasn't taken any boosters for a long time.

"I thought I was very dependent on these things..." Melita felt the heaviness from the limbs, and couldn't help muttering a little self-deprecatingly, "After all, I am also Tarrond's dragon. What..."

She raised her head and looked into the distance in the dimming sky. The outline of Industrial Highland No. 22 was clearly reflected in her vision-she felt some discomfort, and this discomfort had actually been going on for a long time. She has been bothering herself since she first woke up, and now she finally understands the reason for this discomfort: in the field of vision, she cannot see the current time, direction indication, coordinates, and wind information. She couldn't see the undulating magic curve and the advertisements or communication windows that popped up constantly from the edge... There was nothing, not even the basic filters. When she looked into the distance, she saw only the natural and primitive sky and the earth.

She can't remember how long she hasn't seen such a clean and clear world... Or she hasn't seen anything like this since she was born.

Even though he feels so much inconvenience, how long does it take for those compatriots who have undergone deep reforms to adapt to this "empty" vision?

Melita couldn't help feeling a little bit of emotion in her heart, and almost at the same time, she caught a flash of white in the corner of her eye-she almost missed this white, because now her visual aid plug-in can no longer Locked on the active/interest information in the field of view by herself, but when the figure was about to pass the edge of the field of view, she finally noticed.

She also finally understood why Noretta hadn't found herself when she flew across the sky before—it turns out that searching for things with the naked eye is such an error-prone thing after losing the assistance of the implant.

Melita quickly lowered her height and swooped towards the white, and after confirming that the white was still moving on the ground, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief first-Noretta was still alive, she was lying in a pile In the middle of the ruins, he lowered his head and busily didn't know what he was digging.

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

"Merita?" Bailong, who was busy digging on the surface, noticed the shadows in the sky. She raised her head and looked at her friend who was hovering in the air in surprise, "Why are you here? Your body is fine. Huh?!"

"Some damaged parts were removed, and the wound was treated with healing spells. It is no longer a serious problem," Melita said as she slowly lowered her height. She was very cautious, because her nervous system and The muscles are no longer as good as they used to be, "What are you doing? You have missed the report for a long time, and the camp is very worried about you."

"What? Time has been missed?" Noretta looked very surprised, as if only then noticed the passage of time. She raised her head and glanced at the giant sun that had already reached the horizon, her tone of surprise in her voice, "So fast... …Sorry, my clock is out of alignment, and the visual aid is down, I don’t know..."

"Well, I also encountered a similar problem..." Melita shook her head, and then muttered somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Leaving the Omega system, is there even a problem with normal time perception...Let's It's really meticulously taken care of by those automatic systems..."

While talking, she also noticed the big pit that Noretta had dug out-there are many similar big pits nearby. Obviously this white dragon has been digging here for a long time: "What did you find? Is 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 this... Let's not talk about this, you help me, just below this-this time I must find the right position by myself," Noletta thought. When I got up what I was doing, I pulled Merita to help without explaining, "Come on, dig together..."

Melita leaned forward in confusion, and sullily helped Noretta move the broken metal plates and heavy rocks out of the pit. After a while, she heard her friend's shout. : "Dug it out!"

"This is..." Melita was surprised as she watched Noretta's entire upper body into the depth of the excavated hole, and carefully took out something from it. After seeing the appearance of the thing, her face Suddenly his expression changed slightly.

It was an ellipsoid-shaped container, its surface was covered with scars, but it was still intact and solid, and in the center of the container was something lying quietly.

A dragon egg-but it was broken, and the substance inside flowed out, solidified on the inner wall of the container like flesh and blood.

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

"...It's broken," Melita whispered, her feet hardened subconsciously, and a ball of steel that she had stepped on was torn apart in the creaking noise, "Noretta, this is already Broken."

Noretta also stared blankly at the container she dug out. She was stunned for two or three minutes before suddenly tossing the container aside, turning around and rushing towards the big hole she had just dug: "There must be more It's not broken! There are countless dragon eggs in it, and there must be none broken!"

Here?

It was only then that Melita realized something in hindsight. She raised her head and saw a huge, spiral mountain-like facility standing quietly in the glow of the setting sun, with the faint golden sunlight leaning. By shining on its melted and re-solidified shell, from the unrecognizable main structure, one can still vaguely distinguish the used take-off and landing platform and the transportation pipeline.

She finally recognized it—this was the hatchery, the largest breeding facility near Agonda.

"Merita! What are you doing in a daze!" Bailong Noreta's voice came from the cave. She raised her head and looked at the blue dragon who was in a daze outside, her tone urging, "Come and help me. Open the gates below here-my paw is injured and I can't move such a big thing... How come these gates are so strong..."

"We can't dig out anything by the two of us alone," Noretta raised her head and glanced at the scale of the incubator factory, and immediately shouted at the entrance of the hole, "the area of ​​the storage area at the lower level of the incubator factory is too large, and we may not be able to dig until tomorrow. If we can find the next isolation room, we should go back and find more dragons to help!"

The sound of digging in the depths of the cave finally stopped. A few seconds later, Noreta slowly leaned out of it. She hesitated: "You are right, but...the camp is also limited in manpower. Calador may not send much..."

"Let's take this back," Melita picked up the dragon egg container on the ground with her front paws-even though the egg inside was broken, she was still cautious when she picked it up, "Cala d'Or will understand. He is a red dragon, and a very old red dragon... He understands the meaning of dragon eggs better than other dragons."

...

In the temporary refuge, the dragons gathered together again. After allocating the supplies on hand, they had to start discussing how to survive in the ruins. Calador stood among the compatriots, listening to the thoughts of each member, but couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Things were heading in a bad direction, he had expected it, but was powerless.

More and more dragons are showing symptoms of synergistic backlash. Other dragons are experiencing various physical problems caused by implant failures. Almost all of their compatriots are still facing a huge "psychological hole" after losing the Omega network. ". Physical weakness, pain, and psychological shake are constantly weakening the will of all compatriots. They gathered here and have become a group of refugees in the true sense.

However... this is a dragon.

A powerful dragon that once dominated the sky and the earth.

Kalador knows that even if the implants and synergists are lost, even if the omega and automatic factories are lost, these weak dragons are still dragons, and they are still one of the most powerful creatures in the world, even On the other hand, those who lost the implants and synergists are the ones who have restored the original appearance of the dragon clan and returned to the "normal field" of the clan on the evolutionary road. However... these words have no meaning now.

The dilemma of survival is the immediate problem.

While sighing, he suddenly thought of Melita and Noreta, who had been away from the camp for a long time-how about them?

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

Melita and Noreta fell in the center of the camp, and the surrounding compatriots also cast their sights over. After noticing that the atmosphere on the scene was a little weird, Melita first returned to a human form, and then strode towards Calado. Go in the direction of you.

"Cala d'Or, what's going on here?" Melita couldn't help but asked, "There is another problem with work or material distribution?"

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

Melita listened to the other party, but her eyes moved throughout the camp. Tired faces and scarred bodies appeared in her vision. In the end, what she saw was still standing in the form of a dragon. On the clearing ground, the white dragon Noreta was cautiously holding the container with his front paws.

"Why can't you use your claws?" Merita suddenly raised her voice. She stared at the black dragon who had just spoken, then looked at Karador and the other dragons around him, "Use your claws, use your teeth, And your breath, your magic, aren’t these very powerful? What the humans on Loren Continent can do, what can the dragons do here—because the environment here is worse? "

A nearby dragon opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but Melita didn’t give anyone a chance to speak. She strode directly to Noleta’s side and pointed to the other person’s holding with her front paws. The thing said loudly, "This is what we dug out with our claws just now!"

"That's..." Carador only noticed what Noreta was holding at this time. He opened his eyes subconsciously, "That's in the hatchery..."

"It's a dragon egg, it was broken when we dug it out-but there are still thousands of dragon eggs in the hatchery, and there are many storage warehouses that have not been dug out. There must be rescue "Dragon eggs," Melita said quickly, "This is what I want to say-we need help, no matter how many helpers come, even one will do, to help us dig out the dragon eggs buried in the ruins. Yes. Who wants to go?"

There was a brief silence in the camp, and then finally there was a low discussion and commotion. One after another, eyes fell on the scarred and dusty container, and on the broken dragon egg inside.

Melita looked at the master who was in sight. She finally saw some brilliance and temperature in these sights. She raised her head and wanted to say something, but at this moment, she suddenly saw the sky passing by in the distance. There was a bright arc.

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