The End of the Earth

After the rest, the two were preparing to go to the garage at the entrance of the base to see if there was any way to repair the abandoned vehicles. The rocket base was now in need of transportation equipment.

As soon as I reached the garage door, an alarm sounded at the base. It was the alarm that sounded when the gate was opened.

Someone is coming!

Answei asked Xiang San to put on the black crystal magic armor and climb to the top of the warehouse to observe the situation at the gate entrance.

At the base gate, a military off-road vehicle carrying three people drove in.

"It seems like he's going to the living area. Could it be..."

Just as Ansevi had guessed, one of the men in officer uniform took an old photo, kissed it, and put it in his chest pocket.

"Dad, do you want to... um~ah"

Just as Answei was about to ask whether they were going to catch them, Xiang San took over the control and manipulated the black crystal magic armor, jumping down from the warehouse and blocking the off-road vehicle.

The three officers in the car were shocked. The officer in the right driver's seat slammed on the brakes, but the vehicle still hit Xiang San due to the strong inertia generated by the high speed.

The black crystal magic armor in heavy armor mode was like a solid boundary marker. The vehicle stopped moving immediately after hitting the black crystal magic armor.

The three people were thrown out of the car by inertia. Xiang San strode forward and tied the three people together with his demon tentacles.

“Who are you!!”

"I mean no harm, passerby."

The three officers looked at each other. They were all tied up, but they still had no ill intentions?

"What do you want?"

"If you can answer my questions, I will let you go. Since you are the same kind, I don't intend to do anything to you, provided you cooperate."

"Are you human?"

"Isn't it similar?"

"..."

The three of them looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"go ahead?"

"Which faction do you belong to? Why did you abandon this stronghold? Your base is very good. I can't think of any reason to give it up.

I hope you can tell me why.”

An officer who looked older began to answer Xiang San's questions.

"Minsk Front 130th Engineer Regiment, we have new plans. This base is no longer needed."

Inside the black crystal magic armor, Answei listened attentively to the conversation between Xiang San and the three officers.

"You were once part of the Wehrmacht in the old White Russian era, right?"

"That's right. After the White Flash, we experienced two nuclear wars under the influence of the Great Chaos, and the invasion of aliens. We are actively and formally gathering the scattered forces."

The officer was a little excited to hear that someone else knew their origins.

Xiang San untied their restraints, picked up some documents and an old photo that had fallen aside and handed them to the officer.

"I think this photo is very important to you."

"Thank you, it's very important. I came back with two men just for some documents and this photo.

You really do look human.”

Xiang San pointed at the wrecked and twisted SUV and asked, "Can you guys fix it?"

The three officers nervously said it was okay.

"No, that's okay, we'll fix it ourselves."

Xiang San said calmly, "There are still a few transport vehicles you abandoned in the base. I think you can repair them, right?"

The three of them finally understood that this was not a change of heart, but a preparation to make the best use of the resources.

The three of them did not dare to delay and began to take out various tools from the off-road vehicle to repair it.

Xiang San was watching them work, which reminded him of the time when he lived an ordinary life and worked as a porter for others. The process was very unpleasant and he ended up beating the foreman and sending him to the hospital.

I never thought that one day I would become a foreman.

"Dad? You can fix it, right? You can't do this kind of car?"

"This is a relatively complicated special vehicle... well, I don't know how to do it."

Xiang San originally wanted to save some face as an omnipotent father, but after seeing Answei's sharp eyes, he gave up this fluke mentality. His good daughter was not someone who could be easily fooled.

Although she doesn't interact much with others, her natural intelligence is very similar to her mother's.

Just as the father and daughter were strengthening their relationship in the isolated environment of the black crystal magic armor, three officers who were desperately repairing a large transport vehicle looked at Xiang San for help.

"What's wrong? How many people?"

"Sir, the hydraulic jack isn't high enough. This car may not be repairable."

Xiang San did not respond when he heard this, but walked towards the three people with the huge body of the heavily armored black crystal magic armor.

The three of them looked at each other nervously, thinking that they had angered Xiang San. Just as they were about to accept their fate and close their eyes, a sound of metal friction reached their ears.

"Hey, you three? Hurry up and repair it. You've been away from the army for so long, aren't you in a hurry to go back?"

The three opened their eyes and found that the man in black armor in front of them had lifted the transport vehicle with one hand.

They hurriedly continued their work, and soon all the repairs were completed. Some of the important parts they brought with them were almost used up, but at least their lives were saved.

"You guys are truly amazing. You were able to repair such a complicated transport vehicle."

The three of them were speechless after hearing Xiang San's praise. Is it possible that these skills are as important to them as eating?

"Uh~ Yes, yes. Can we leave now?"

Xiang San stared at them after hearing this, and after a while he said, "I was thinking that if you were lying just now, or if you brought the troops to trouble me after you returned,

I feel like I’m going to be at a disadvantage.”

The three men's faces changed and they stammered that Xiang San had clearly promised to let them go.

"Don't be nervous. I didn't say I regretted attacking you. It was just for my safety."

As they were talking, three black bugs shot towards the necks of the three men, scaring them so much that they searched all over their bodies for traces of the bugs.

"You don't have to be afraid, this kind of bug won't harm you as long as you don't talk nonsense or try to cause trouble for me.

These three worms will never wake up in your body throughout your life.

Well, gentlemen, you may leave now."

The three officers swallowed their saliva, started the SUV with a twisted front end and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Xiang San gave them a warm reminder.

"Oh, right.

I have good news for you: ordinary instruments can't detect those bugs. You can rest assured and don't have to worry about being discovered by others.

The officer driving the SUV twitched his face and stepped on the accelerator to speed away from the base.

Xiang San smiled, he was very satisfied.

"Dad, were you lying just now? In fact, those bugs are not in their bodies at all, right?"

“If it really penetrated their bodies, how could they not feel it?

Lies are sometimes more effective than powerful forces. When the brain completes something that doesn't exist, the lie becomes the truth.

Powerful force may be useful for a while, but lies will affect a person for countless years.

I don’t know if you have learned to lie or not, but whether you like it or not, dad suggests that you have to learn to lie. Lies can kill people, but sometimes they can also save people.

Have you ever told a lie?

Answei rolled her eyes and said, "No, I have never lied."

"lie."
