The Death List Novel - Chapter 567
Chapter 567 Loneliness
Thanks to Giese’s medical technology and the resilience of the Angel Clone, Qin Lun had only slept in the medical kit. He had almost recovered from the wounds on his body, and even his extremely exhausted spirit had returned to its peak.
After opening the hatch manually, Qin Lun found that the medical room was empty. After consulting the projected light brain, he found out that the warship was in a beam transition, and most of the people were in the dormancy room.
Qin Lun’s comprehension of combat was almost complete when he recovered from his injuries. At this time, he felt a little bored and walked towards the leisure hall, wanting to have a drink.
“Sawa” In the corridor of the battleship, he met the beautiful Apostle who was watching the starry sky alone.
Unlike Robin, who always had the temperament of an intellectual beauty, Sawa had short hair that was as short as her ears. She spoke straightforwardly and succinctly, and her personality was independent and capable. Qin Lun couldn’t help but be moved by the fact that he didn’t see much of this tranquil and intelligent face.
“Sir Qin Lun!” Seemingly unaware that he would run into Apostle’s companion at such a time, Sawa was a little flustered when he saw Qin Lun.
Ever since he had successfully escaped from the high-tier Apostle alone, Qin Lun had sensitively discovered that his companions had a trace of reverence for him, and he had even subconsciously spoken respectfully as he spoke.
“Why aren’t you with Bowie?” Qin Lun noticed how uncomfortable Sawa was when facing him, so he immediately smiled and adjusted the awkward atmosphere.
“Bowie and I are not lovers!” Sawa was slightly stunned and immediately shook her head with a chuckle. “We’re just closer in thought, not to mention, we just joined a newly formed team, and he and I unconsciously wanted to find an alliance …”
“Understandable!” Qin Lun politely extended his hand and invited, “Shall we have a drink together? I just left the medical kit and everyone is not here. I feel a little bored!”
“Sir, how did you become Apostle?” Looking at the steaming drinks, Sawa looked a little absent-minded, but he immediately came to his senses. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to inquire about your personal affairs, I just had feelings …”
“Don’t mention it!” Qin Lun took a sip of the hot drink and frowned slightly. The taste of Giese’s space drink was a little heavy, and it wasn’t suitable for him. “A wormhole appeared in the alternate space-time world I belong to. To put it simply, we were sent here to explore …”
Of course, he was forced to come, and his status was death row! Qin Lun smiled and added in his mind.
“Do you like this kind of exploratory work? I mean, do you like Apostle’s profession?” Sawa’s eyes suddenly lit up and he asked excitedly.
“Exploration?” Qin Lun supported his chin with one hand and asked with interest, “Why do you care about this?”
“Sorry, I asked another question!” Sawa stroked her hair and said, “I’ve asked a lot of my companions this question. Their answers always make me feel like I’m out of place, as if I’m a maverick!”
“What did they say!” Qin Lun asked with a smile.
“They have a lot of answers, some people say we are mercenaries, mercenaries in the starry sky, as long as you consider how to complete the mission alive. “Some people say that we are no different from before, but another kind of life that has escaped individual reproduction and the survival of civilization. The only thing that remains unchanged is that we used to exist for our race and our country, but now we are working hard for ourselves and our companions!”
Sawa’s gaze was somewhat confused. She was only a First Grade Apostle, and she had not entered the starry sky for a long time. Moreover, she had followed the guild for a long time and did not seek survival on her own like Qin Lun, so she was not sure of her own value.
“What they said is correct. Apostle’s life form is different from all intelligent lifeforms. However, we were born from intelligent lifeforms after all, and we have many different understandings of the value of our own existence!”
Qin Lun chuckled and said, “You don’t have to consult other people’s thoughts. How do you want to live, then live in your own way!”
“Is that what you think?” Sawa’s eyes lit up as she murmured, “The world I live in has a very long civilization. I used to be an archaeologist and historian. However, after reaching the starry sky, all of my knowledge is useless. Instead, I became the capital of my guild for the sake of living in the wild and studying medicine. This makes me feel very distressed!”
“An explorer?” Qin Lun’s gaze was somewhat empty as he said meaningfully, “You asked me just now if you like Apostle’s profession … Yes, I like being a Apostle!”
Every time I enter a new mission world, I feel like I’m experiencing a new life. Success or failure. Sawa, as long as you put aside the influence of emotional factors, you will find endless fun.
We are fortunate that no other intelligent life can replicate the experience of Apostle. In the quest world, before I died, every adventure made me feel like I was emitting an unparalleled brilliance of life. The results weren’t important, but what mattered was the experience we had in it. ”
“Do you think so too?” Sawa looked a little excited. She grabbed Qin Lun’s hand and realized that she had lost her composure. Her face immediately turned red and she let Qin Lun go.
“It’s not easy to stick to this path. Perhaps this will mean giving up a lot of things!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he stood up and walked out. He thought to himself, “Even … human nature!”
…
“There’s still 30 seconds left to jump out of the transition trajectory …”
On the second day after talking to Sawa, the Attack finally arrived at the rendezvous point agreed with Faith. However, the whole process was very strange. They had not contacted Faith for a long time, and the last time they contacted was before the X-352 base turned into a cosmic octopus.
A message was sent from faith, and captain Marcus explained that they had encountered a Heathmeier warship that could not reach planet X-352 within the agreed time frame. They had no choice but to change the rendezvous point and ask them to meet up at the new coordinates after repelling the enemy.
“Qin Lun, I feel that something is wrong!” After jumping out of the transition orbit, there was no sign of Faith in the starry sky. Robin scanned it vigilantly with his bio-radar again and again, looking worried.
The Gospel World was perhaps one of her most difficult mission worlds to grasp. The patrol team was like a canoe struggling in a storm, threatening to collapse at any moment.
“The Faith will be fine. Otherwise, they will definitely send a message. Even if they encounter the mature Jannamer, they will not be defeated silently!” Dong Yue muttered to herself from the side. The beautiful adjutant’s expression was a little nervous.
“Don’t worry, we’ll find them!” Robin hugged the adjutant’s shoulder and colored Qin Lun. The two of them walked out of the bridge one after another.
“Haven’t there been any follow-up changes to the main mission?” Robin asked softly, “Qin Lun, I need your opinion!”
The main mission of the Inspector Team, “Control Victory”, had actually been completed. Everyone had received 100,000 broken crystals, 20 contribution points, and 10 maximum longevity soul points.
Controlling Victory would have required the patrol team to control Planet X-352 and wait for Conviction to complete the construction of the base, expelling the enemy team in the process.
However, Holy Light Team went beyond the starry sky and summoned Jannamer’s mature silver lightning directly into the planet’s atmosphere. As a result, the cosmic octopus, which had been sleeping for hundreds of thousands of years, was awakened. Subsequent changes made the main mission almost a fog.
After that, even if the Cosmic Octopus didn’t awaken again, Faith and the patrol team didn’t dare to build a base on its surface.
Fortunately, Starry Sky did not deduct their mission rewards. After all, Jannamer Silver Lightning was dead, and the patrol team had managed to repel Wolf and the Holy Light Division, so they disguised themselves as completing the main mission.
However, to the embarrassment of the patrol team, after the main mission was completed like this, the starry sky did not give them the right to return, nor did it give them any prompts for other missions. It was like a computer crashing, completely silent.
“There’s too little information. If you can’t tell, I naturally can’t think of anything!” Qin Lun looked lazy, unable to lift his spirits.
“Don’t perfunctory me. Even if it’s a guess, I don’t mind listening!” Robin glared at him and asked relentlessly.
“Alright!” Qin Lun helplessly raised his hand and surrendered, “Think about the purpose of the starry sky. It didn’t throw us into the Gospel World just to watch the four great battles, but to advance the exploration of the world through the collision of the four great races of the universe! Now that the appearance of the universe octopus has interrupted this process, what do you think will happen next?”
Robin frowned and fell into deep thought. When she regained her senses, she discovered that Qin Lun had already gone far. “Where are you going?”
“Bring a few teams out to look for clues. I don’t think Faith will be late for no reason. Perhaps they have already come, but for some reason, they have to leave immediately!” Qin Lun raised his hand without turning back and shook it at Robin.
Watching Qin Lun leave, Robin’s eyes flickered. As the leader of the Lost Rookies, she certainly did not rely on that pretty face to feed. Actually, before asking Qin Lun, the Beautiful Guild Leader also had her own speculations.
The main mission ended without a hitch, and there was still more than half of the time left. Naturally, the starry sky would not allow Apostle to leave the Gospel World just like that. However, the appearance of the cosmic octopus had destroyed the intersection of the four races of the universe. It was bound to redirect everyone into a new intersection.
However, once they entered and left, the team of inspectors had no advantage in adapting to the Gospel World ten days earlier. Furthermore, because they had indirectly defeated the Holy Light Team, the Starry Sky would probably increase their evaluation of them. Therefore, even if they had a prompt, they would still receive it later.
“Robin, we found the faith number!” As Qin Lun led two squads of soldiers to search the nearby starfields, their feedback quickly spread to the Attack.
Qin Lun’s expression on the projection screen was extremely ugly. In fact, even he did not expect the current situation to appear.
Behind the 17th Fallen Angel, countless pieces of space debris were scattered like meteorite belts in this region. At the center of the projection, they saw the broken remains of the Faith!
“Captain, everyone” Dong Yue covered her face and slowly squatted on the ground, letting out sobbing cries.
