People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 1187: The Undead Abandoned by Time

In the deepest part of an underground cave buried by time, a door was opened by Christen.

This was the second time she opened the door.

The first time, she pushed the door open out of curiosity at the initiative call of 'Him' inside the door.

The second time, she pushed the door open reluctantly at the initiative of the other 'Him' outside the door.

Christen didn't know who was higher in status between Qi Yan and the 'Him' inside the door, but she chose to believe Qi Yan once, believing that Qi Yan did not come with malicious intent.

After all... Qi Yan was so ill, if he had any ill intentions, it would have been exposed long ago.

As the door was opened by Christen, the three of them simultaneously glimpsed the truth behind the door.

The underground space, so huge that it makes people hold their breath subconsciously, was displayed silently. The light from unknown source failed to illuminate the entire space, and people could only roughly see the range within a hundred meters.

But the scene presented at a distance of just a hundred meters was enough to make Holhaiya's heart beat wildly.

The dust that had settled over a long period of time had covered the underground space, and even created hills and gullies of varying depths like a desert. Black square boxes that looked like coffins were intertwined and buried in the dust.

Even Christen, who arrived here for the second time, couldn't help but purse her lips.

Qi Yan's eyes swept across the densely packed sarcophagi.

There was once a sarcophagus similar to these in Chernobyl, where the doctor slept.

Even though it had been used by the Doctor, the sarcophagus, after being tinkered with by Qi Yan and several Sarkaz mercenaries, released enough power to allow Qi Yan to break through certain barriers.

And now, in this underground space, there are as many as 100,000 such sarcophagi densely packed together.

Qi Yan stood at the door and did not move forward, because there was no place to stand in this underground space. The thick dust that seemed to symbolize time was enough to cover his calves.

"Oh, really." Qi Yan sighed and blew a few wisps of dust at the door, "Kristen, can't you help the old man clean up?"

"I came here to get information," Kristen replied.

Qi Yan curled his lips, raised his hand and snapped his fingers:

"Fat Snake, it's your turn."

"I?"

Hol Haiya's eyes widened: "You are kidding, even if I can control the wind, it will be exhausting to clean up all this dust!"

"The answer you want is right here. You want the answer but don't make any effort at all?" Qi Yan said contemptuously.

"I'm working for you! I'm completing the task you assigned me!" Holhaiya argued repeatedly, "Isn't this what we agreed on?"

"What is the content of our agreement?" Qi Yan asked deliberately.

Holhaiya blurted out: "As long as I help you break Locke's legs and send you the video, you will give me a reward."

"Yeah, but did I tell you what the reward is?"

"..."

Holkhaya felt betrayed.

Qi Yan looked at the somewhat frantic Hol Haiya and patted her shoulder with a smile:

"Just accept your fate. The reward I gave you has already been implemented. You, a fat snake, have been jumping around in Trimont City for so long. If no one protects you after this is over, you will be dead."

"I'm not afraid of death."

"You're not even afraid of death, so why are you afraid of cleaning?"

"I……"

Holhaiya was very angry, but couldn't say a word in rebuttal.

While the two were bickering, the owner of this underground space seemed to have discovered the outsider and woke up from his slumber.

The blinding light filled the underground space.

Even if the three of them closed their eyes, the light could still penetrate their eyelids, making them feel like they were bathing in a sea of ​​light.

However, the light did not last long and soon faded away.

When the three of them opened their eyes again, they found that the dim underground space was covered with a layer of red.

The source of these red lights is a huge spherical instrument in the far center of the underground space.

Even though the spherical instrument is still some distance away from the entrance, it is so huge that people have the illusion that it is right in front of them. Combined with the layered red halo on the instrument, it seems like a red eyeball is coldly examining the intruder.

"You...are back again...why did you come back?"

A low, old voice echoed in the underground space, stirring up countless dust particles.

Kristen responded, "My plans were sabotaged, and the saboteurs wanted to see you."

"Ok?"

"Hey, Friston, it's me."

Qi Yan took the initiative to wave and say hello.

Friston was silent for a moment, then asked doubtfully:

"who are you?"

"You don't know me?" Qi Yan was a little surprised.

"Why should I know you?" Friston was even more confused.

Kristen and Holhaiya listened to the conversation between the two with curiosity, and began to secretly expect Qi Yan to reveal some forgotten historical events.

For example, when Qi Yan used another identity to walk on this land, he met this undead soul abandoned by time. As time went by so long, the memory of this undead soul named Friston gradually decayed, but he met Qi Yan again after thousands of years...

"You have access to Columbia's database, so my performance over the past two years has not been included in Columbia's database?"

Qi Yan put his hands on his hips and said unconvincedly: "Am I, Qi Xiaobai, not even worthy of leaving my name in history?"

The underground space fell into silence.

Kristen and Holhayya had strange expressions.

This is not the answer they expected!

What about short stories that are full of historical weight?

Friston was silent for a moment, and his deep voice continued to echo in the underground space:

"Qi Xiaobai... Qi Yan... You are the giant beast recorded in Colombia. You have robbed Colombia before, but why did you find this place?"

Kristen thought to herself that this was not good.

Sure enough, Qi Yan took a deep breath, and then started coughing because of the dust.

After stopping his cough, he said with a chilling look on his face:

"The weather is cold, and Columbia is doomed. Let these 100,000 ghosts of the former civilization set Columbia on fire in one go."

"what?"

Friston exclaimed: "How do you know this number? I have never told anyone."

Qi Yan smiled again:

"Not only do I know this number, I also know that you have been watching for more than 13,000 years. I also know that the real Friston has already chosen to commit suicide in loneliness. Now you who remain in the world are just an intelligent life born from Friston's hands."

“Who…are you?” Friston’s tone became serious.

"It doesn't matter what I am. What matters is that I have a nursing home. Do you want to come?" Qi Yan extended his olive branch.

Friston chuckled as if to mock himself and refused:

"I have no interest in this. My compatriots have left, and my civilization has become an insignificant speck of dust in the universe. The loss of energy has caused our plan to fail completely.

I had planned to give the last bit of my energy to this little girl named Christen, as a small gift to your newborn civilization, but now she tells me that you have failed.

I have no intention of saying anything more about your internal disputes, but you have given up the only hope for your civilization, and the time left for you to see this world is running out."
