Chapter 717 - 496: Elegy of the bygone days (4)_2
Although Malin wasn’t sure if the half-humans would abandon them, he at least couldn’t let them be trapped in a deadly situation without a means of escape.
Then, leading the way with the Punishers of the Church of Justice, two half-humans covered Lulu—the Night Watcher girl whom Malin most wanted to send away. But to his surprise, she firmly refused to leave, claiming that even in the face of death, a Night Watcher must witness the end of the person they followed.
If there was a road to heaven you wouldn’t take, Malin could only lead the girl to a hell with no doors to enter.
The bones in the corridor were checked and found to be very fresh victims, probably adventurers who entered the ruins in the same batch as Jon, unfortunate enough to stumble into a nest of zombies and ultimately becoming an extra meal.
"It looks like those protective mechanisms are done for," Jason observed, noticing a pile of mechanical debris in the corner. His comment made Malin hand over the ID he had collected to the Punisher of the Lord of Justice and then he approached the pile of debris: "Did the zombies break them?"
"Not exactly, these are traces of burns caused by laser weapons. Look, here and there, there are holes that have melted, and here, after destroying its shell, the laser weapon burnt out its central transmission system in the spine. It might be survivors from the second or third era. They’ve been here, and our friend who left the can of sardines must be from the last period of the third era... After his death, the zombies gradually took over this place."
"Laser weapons, I truly wish we could get our hands on one." Honestly, Malin had never seen such a thing before, and witnessing it would be quite an eye-opener.
"As long as you can take over a few key factories, we can mass-produce laser weapons," Jason said.
"Let me guess, are they in Moscow?" When factories were mentioned, Malin thought of the drones and satellite factories in Moscow.
"Not quite, they’re in the Hangzhou Bay Area," Jason said with a tone full of mirth.
"Ignore what I said," Malin rolled his eyes and leaned against the wall, raising his gun towards the partially open door. The leader of the Church of Justice stood beside him, also raising his gun, while the half-human opened the door for them.
