Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 245: Half A Year

Gao Lei walked towards the office with heavy steps. He wore a military uniform that was rarely seen today. It was a far cry from his usual sloppy appearance.

It had been half a year!

More than six months had passed since the four of them had disappeared from the Barren Land. During this period of time, Gao Lei had sent out search teams many times without success. The search team had even arrived at the Unwintering Lake. However, as the snow and wind melted, the traces left behind on that day had long disappeared into the vast wilderness. No one knew about Allen and the others' lives. This was like a giant rock pressing down on Gao Lei's chest.

During this period of time, the Saber Demon Tribe had also become active. During this period, several tribes had formed an alliance to attack the Thunder Fire Base. Gao Lei would cope with the increasingly fierce battle on one hand, and Allen and the others on the other. The pressure he had to endure was unimaginable.

Of the four missing, Alan was a student of Windsor Bellow, the successor in place of Beth Cord; Lucy is the noble daughter of the Idaho royal family. Both of them were distinguished figures, especially the latter. One of the things that could have been directly triggered by Idaho's accusations against the Earth Federation was that they were not handled properly. Even if Ada Huaxing did not start a war, the Federation would still have to provide sufficient compensation.

The amount of compensation was definitely beyond Gao Lei's imagination.

The week after Ellen's disappearance, Gray reported the incident to Windsor Belo in the town of Interstellar Defense. After Marshal Greed found out, his heart burned. Unfortunately, after killing a Kidd expert, the Kidds did not stop moving as expected. On the contrary, they fought fiercely over it. Not only did the Kidds' trump card legion [Sharp Saw] pour out, they also sent out their commander, Babatole, who was known as "Gold".

The Kidds were an alien race of distinct classes, ranked in platinum, gold, and silver. The Silver Bee and Silver Spider that had attacked the defensive line were Silver rank experts, so Babatol of Gold was naturally even more powerful. Under their attacks, Windsor Belo could only defend the interstellar defensive line, keeping the battle in a stalemate.

Under such circumstances, Windsor Belo had no time to deal with Alan. Until recently, after the bitter attack failed, Babatole began to retreat. He also used guerrilla tactics to sneak attack two space depots for Sirius. The Kidds were ready to retreat. After winning a bit of time, Windsor Belo sent a message to have a video conversation with Gore.

Gao Lei walked into the office and the adjutant nodded at him. A screen descended, and after a brief connection, Windsor Belo appeared in the picture with a tired expression. The female marshal threw herself into the captain's chair. Her hat was buttoned diagonally. Her loose purple hair seemed to have grown a lot, but it did not have the usual luster. It looked dim and dull. Windsor Belo held her cheek with one hand and threw the berries into her mouth from the fruit tray beside her with the other. The berry that could help her recover her Origin Energy disappeared from her mouth at an extremely fast speed. Only when there were few berries left on the plate did the female marshal say, "Has there been any news of Alan yet?"

"Yes, Your Excellency." Gao Lei lowered his head and said, "Because of my incompetence, Sergeant Allen and Miss Lucy have always been dead. This subordinate is willing to accept any punishment."

"Forget it, I can't blame you for that. A few brats are so bold as to dare to kill the Saber Demon's miracle. They are in the front and you know the news is behind them. Even if you pursue the matter, you can't blame them on you. Besides, if something happens to His Highness, even if you lose your life, it won't help."

Gao Lei said in a deep voice, "My lord, is General Melinda unable to pull away? If there is a Rose Empress "

"Their battle in the Alex Plains was not easy either. The Saber Demon Ten Tribes obtained the troll from the Sacred Site. In addition, Azik was in charge of the battle this time. Melinda tricked Azik out of the stronghold with her trick, but Russen and her team were unable to retain him. In the end, she let him escape. She knew that the Great General under the King of Saber Demon was strong." Windsor Belo shook her head and said, "There are too many factors involved in killing a top expert. Not at all. I don't think Melinda and the others will be able to break through Hurricane Canyon in a short period of time, so Queen Rose should not have time to deal with this."

"If that's the case" Gao Lei's mouth was full of bitterness. With the strength of the Thunder and Fire Base, it was really difficult to continue searching. Even though half a year had passed, the four of them were likely to be doomed. However, no matter what, there had to be a result. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to explain it to Beth Cod and Adahua Planet.

Windsor Belo ate the last berry and clapped her hands. "At most half a month, I will personally come to Nether Domain Star."

"Sir, you "

"Of course I can't stay too long. If I can spare a week, I think it should be enough." Windsor Belo's face was as gloomy as the clouds in the sky. "If those damned Saber Devils eat my little Alan, even if I can't find their miracle, I'll still shoot them in the abyss of their furnace!"

Communication over.

Gao Lei had a helpless expression on his face, and in the end, he could only let out a long sigh.

In the power room on the second floor of the Sacred Trace, Alan opened his eyes and felt that his Origin Energy was abundant, his spirit was full, and all of his physical strength and energy were restored to their best condition. Now, even if he ran into General Kamuna, he was confident that he would be able to fight. On the other side, Lucy seemed to have finished her work. The girl clapped her hands and said, "Alright, if you guys have enough rest, let's get ready to run for your lives."

"That's great. I've been waiting impatiently for a long time." William clenched his fists and said.

Broyle didn't say anything. He only lifted the Hammer of Extinction in his hand, but the battle intent in his eyes had already leapt onto the paper.

Allen shook his heavy saber and let out a faint sound of wind and thunder, "Then let's set off."

Lucy nodded and said, "Listen, I've set all the routes and the opening and closing times of the automatic doors. When the door to the power room opens, the program will work automatically. We have to catch the time and not be stalled by the Saber Demon."

"I hope that Saber Demon General won't be waiting for us outside the door." When Wilick thought of Kamu's strength, his eyelids twitched. The few of them had only stayed in the power room for a day, and the general probably hadn't left yet.

However, he didn't know that half a year had passed in the real world when they passed through those warp spaces.

"Let's go!" Alan took the lead and headed for the exit.

The four of them passed through the corridor. Since Lucy had already given priority to supplying energy to other parts of the corridor, the warp accelerator was no longer in operation. When they came out, they did not have to go through the warp space anymore. At the end, the girl started to activate the door. Alan tightened his grip on Qianjun and quickly simulated how he would deal with Kamu when he stood on the other side of the door.

However, when the door opened, there was no Kamu on the other side of the door. There were only two dumbstruck Blade Demon Warriors.

Just as the door opened, Ellen and Wilick snatched it out one after another. Thousand Average roared, easily harvesting the lives of one warrior, while the other was knocked down by Wilick's heavy artillery fist, causing his chest to collapse, and he would no longer be able to survive. Both of them exerted their full strength, and the battle almost ended in the blink of an eye. When Broy came out of the room protecting Lucy, there was not a single person outside the power room.

"What's going on?" Allen said. This was too abnormal.

He didn't know that after the power room was closed, Kamu had been waiting outside for nearly a month. Seeing that the gate had no intention of reactivating, he believed that Allen and the others would no longer appear, just like the Saber Demons who had trespassed on the forbidden area in the past. After that, Old Yedu only arranged for the warriors to take turns outside the power room symbolically. After half a year, the Blade Demons had long forgotten about the intruders.

"They relaxed their vigilance? That's great. Let's go!" Cried Lucy happily.

Alan nodded. It was naturally a good thing that the Saber Demon was so lax. The four of them immediately ran away. Lucy kept showing the team the way, and everything went according to her plan.

"General! General Kamu!"

In a modified spaceship room, Kamu was engaged in a melee battle with a few enchanting female Saber Demons. He was sprinting when the woman hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to stuff him into her body. Kamu shouted and pushed the woman away. "What's the matter?" He shouted angrily outside the door.

"The power room the door to the power room is open!"

"What?"

The burning flames in Kamu's lower abdomen instantly disappeared as if they had been drenched in cold water. He blushed and asked, "Has anyone come out?"

"I don't know, but two soldiers were killed. General Alai has already followed the tracks."

Kamu roared, "Tell Alai to stop him."

He then said to the naked women behind him, "Armor!"

Although those women were reluctant, they didn't dare to defy Kamu at this moment. They obediently stood up and took his armor, placing the components on his body one by one.

Kamu clenched his fists. Old Yedu had personally sent ten trolls, but he hadn't returned yet. He was currently presiding over the shrine, and Kamu only hoped that those human invaders would appear from the power room. Half a year ago, they successfully invaded the power room, causing Kamu to lose all face. Now, he finally had a chance to dispel his shame.

But Kamu was thinking, how did they leave the power room?

This was something that had never happened in a sacred place.

Qianjun swept across with a black tide, and a few Saber Demon warriors flew out, crashing into the wall and shrugging their heads powerlessly, but they died. After dealing with these warriors, Allen did not stop and leaned forward. After leaving the power room, the Saber Demon began to react, and they appeared to intercept him. However, the program Lucy had set up also started. Some of the automatic doors to the passageways suddenly closed, splitting up the Blade Demon warriors, making it impossible for them to take advantage of their strength to suppress Allen and the others.

When they saw that they were only half a distance away from the entrance to the first floor, a general-level might suddenly appeared in front of them. Everyone's eyes blurred as a blade demon general appeared from the left side of the fork. His face was painted with white paint, and he smiled cruelly when he saw Allen and the others. He stretched out both of his hands horizontally and pulled out large sparks from the walls on the left and right of the passageway, rushing towards Allen and the others.
