Chapter 123
Crying Boy (9)
“He is me and it shouldn’t be easy for him to die. Let’s try our luck.”
You Yu spoke casually but his anxious steps didn’t match his tone. He moved through the rain and Chi Nan remembered that this direction was the ruined cliff behind the Dawn Base building.
You Yu said that this was the basic way to dispose of energy waste, but no one knew how deep it was or where it went.
As You Yu approached, Chi Nan saw a huge black shadow appearing on the endless plain. There was no light source nearby, so Chi Nan couldn’t see what it was. It stretched like a black mountain range on the horizon and the strong smell of decay spread in the rain.
This was, until a cluster of fire appeared in the dark and heavy rain, forming a dazzling red arc that fell toward the bottom of the cliff. It was like a signal from the bottom of the abyss that instantly attracted people’s attention.
Chi Nan could clearly see by the light of the fire that these oppressive black shadows were the silhouettes of thousands of corpses stacked on top of each other. The light of the fire was emitted by the corpse burner standing on the edge of the cliff, who took a special waterproof torch, lit the corpses, and threw them below the cliff.
At this point in time, the ruined cliff was completely reduced to a mass grave where corpses were piled up. In a sense, the corpses could be classified as waste energy.
Chi Nan recalled the night of the first snow at the Dawn Base. He had seen countless people standing on the other side of the cliff with torches, waiting for him like statues and constantly calling his name.
