The huge hemispherical building stands above the ground and is surrounded by green forests. The whole body of this huge and majestic building is snow-white, without any dust, reflecting pure white light in the sunlight.
In front of the gate of this white spherical building, there was a young man standing there, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, he turned his head, and in the direction he was looking at, a blue light flashed in the empty air, and a young man with long flaxen hair appeared in front of his eyes, and then two more people followed it's here.
"Canaan, why did you bring me here?"
Robin looked up and scanned the unfamiliar place, frowning and asking the flaxen-colored long-haired youth in front of him.
"I told him to bring you here."
Hill, who had been standing at the door waiting, took a step forward and answered instead of Canaan.
He looked at Robin and said, "This is our hospital. All your unconscious companions have been sent here. Please follow me."
Robin clicked his tongue. He was so anxious that he didn't bother to say anything more. He raised his chin and motioned for Hill to lead the way.
Knowing that the other party was worried about his companions, Hill didn't take Robin's bad attitude at all, and turned around and led them quickly into the hemispherical snow-white building.
The inside of this medical building is the same as the outside, everywhere is white, spotless, so white that it is almost dazzling.
After quickly turning a few corners and crossing several passages, Hill led the people to a ward with a large space. The ward is also hemispherical, like a dome covered with a roof. The spherical roof emits soft light from all directions. The light is thin and even, so there is no shadow in the entire ward.
As soon as Robin entered, his expression became serious.
He saw Via and several of his subordinates lying on the snow-white hospital bed in the room. They were enveloped in a glass cover, and dozens of soft metal strings were wrapped around their bodies. There was white mist surrounding them, which could be smelled faintly. Seeing the smell of the seeping medicine, it is obvious that the white mist in the glass cover is medicine mist.
Next to each hospital bed, there is a huge light curtain as tall as a person, which clearly shows the current physical condition of the person in the glass-covered hospital bed next to it. There are also dozens of doctors in white coats shuttling nervously and busy in the ward.
His squinted, dangerous eyes slowly swept across the spacious ward, and the red-haired junior soldier's usual incoherent demeanor had long since disappeared without a trace. At this moment, he seemed to be stepping into an unfamiliar room. The wild beasts lurking silently in the remote area, silently and secretly looking at everything around them.
Although it was calm, the dangerous aura showed that once there was an abnormality, this beast would explode and hurt people at any time.
He slowly scanned everything in front of him, and after confirming that Via and the other companions were still alive, he turned to look at the Jia named Hill who led him in.
"Please explain the current situation."
Robin looked at Hill and said expressionlessly.
"We are not very clear about the specific situation..."
Hill frowned.
Things have become like this, let alone him, the chairman of the meeting and other elders are also very troubled.
Although the chairman and the elders did intend to do something to these humans at the beginning, due to Mut's opposition and the attitude of the Ga who followed Mutt, their plan was postponed.
But unexpectedly, they didn't do anything, and something happened to these human beings.
When the companion in charge of monitoring humans teleported to him and told him that something happened to humans, Hill's heart skipped a beat. You must know that the blue-black battleship that looks like a giant whale in the sea is still outside the earth. If something happens to the owner of this battleship on the earth, the war between humans and Jia will definitely be inevitable!
Hill hurriedly sent these comatose humans to the hospital, but after checking for a long time, he couldn't find any problems. The only thing he knew was that the vitality of these humans was constantly failing.
However, putting them in the glass cover, maintaining their breathing and the necessary water and nutrients through the medicine mist, seems to be able to alleviate their exhaustion, but it is only a relief, and the bodies of these humans are still continuously deteriorating.
After hearing Hill's explanation, Robin frowned.
He can judge that this girl is not lying, and although the earth is her territory, the recent actions of these girls are actually under their control.
They have never touched water and food, so it is impossible to be poisoned. Moreover, each of them is equipped with a poison gas detector specially made by the army. Once a slight harmful gas approaches, an alarm will be issued immediately.
Therefore, the current situation of Via and the others should not be caused by Jia on Earth.
But—if it wasn't for the actions of Jia on the earth, why did such a thing happen suddenly
"Very strange...really very strange."
A doctor who seemed to be quite old stared at the real-time physical condition data on the light curtain, and kept repeating this sentence.
"It's really strange. Although there is no disease in the body, it is constantly depleting... No, it's not so much the body, but all the cells are depleting... This is really, never seen such a strange thing."
"Stop rambling! You just say whether it is cured or not? Is it dangerous?"
"This... I've never seen this kind of disease, and I don't know how to treat it."
The doctor's brows were also tightly frowned. He has lived for more than 400 years and treated countless patients. He has never seen such a strange disease.
"As for the danger... To be honest, although the speed of their cell exhaustion has been temporarily slowed down, if this continues, I'm afraid they won't be able to last for a few days..."
"you-"
A hand stretched out, stopping Robin whose forehead was already bulging with veins.
The black-haired boy stepped forward, stopped Robin who was almost unable to restrain himself, and then turned his gaze to Via not far in front of him.
The blue-haired major general with a serious and indifferent face was lying quietly in the cold glass cover at this moment. There was almost no vitality on his pale face. His tall body was so fragile at this moment, as if he would stop breathing anytime, anywhere.
Mutt took a deep look at Via, and then turned his head to look at the other imperial soldiers who were also lifeless.
"Robin, prepare the spaceship and take them back to Ishtar."
"No! Their bodies are very weak now and they can't move easily!" The doctor immediately objected, "And once they come out of the glass enclosure that isolates the outside world, the exhaustion of their bodies will be accelerated immediately, which will only make them die faster— "
Ignoring the objecting doctor, Mutt continued.
"Take them off Earth, and do it right now."
Robin frowned.
"What the hell are you thinking? Via is like this now, and you still only care about driving us away..."
"Don't you understand?"
Mutt turned his head abruptly, staring at Robin with scorching eyes.
"How many times have I told you! Tell you not to come to Earth! Tell you to leave Earth! Why did Via do this, you turned into what the hell you are now—you still don't understand!"
The usually gentle and talkative boy was almost yelling at Robin at this moment.
"Leave Earth! Immediately! Now—if you don't want to die, go immediately!"
[I don't know why, but I just have this feeling... You... Once humans return to the earth, bad things will happen.]
Suddenly, what Mutt said not long ago appeared in Robin's mind. At that time, he didn't take this sentence seriously at all. He only thought it was an excuse made by Mutt, and felt that what Mutt said was very ridiculous. But at this moment, looking at the appearance of Via and other colleagues, and thinking of his deteriorating physical condition in the past few days, for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.
Maybe it was an illusion, suddenly he had a feeling that it was difficult to breathe, as if there were some invisible things pressing down in all directions, squeezing him out of breath.
He gritted his teeth, suppressing the sudden chill and pressure, and stared at Mute without blinking.
"A reason." He stared at Mute and said, "I want a reason."
If it is not necessary and for an appropriate reason.
As an imperial soldier, even if he died, he would not flee from the battlefield that belonged to him.
So is he, and so is Via.
Seeing Robin's stubborn expression, the anger on Mute's face dissipated, and he finally sighed helplessly.
"I just guessed a little bit just now... Although I have said many times that human beings cannot answer the earth, I don't understand why I think so."
"Now, maybe I understand."
He said, "Robin, do you know what acclimatization is?"
"… what?"
"It's hard to understand in detail, so I can only make an analogy like this."
The boy frowned and said, "For example, when you go from one planet to another planet you have never been to, will you feel uncomfortable on that planet?"
"It does, but it's rare and it goes away quickly."
"That's because you soldiers have a good physique. If you are an ordinary person, the symptoms will get worse and the time will be longer. What's more, if your physique is weak, the symptoms will likely lead to death... Wei They are in a similar situation now."
"Impossible, Via followed the BOSS to fight all over the universe, and stepped on almost thousands of planets, how could it be like this—"
"This is Earth."
Mute simply interrupted Robin's words, staring at Robin with dark eyes, repeating again.
"This is the earth that has been destroyed by humans."
He said, word for word.
The voice was very soft, but for some reason it was extremely heavy. At this moment, it was like a cold icicle piercing deeply into the deepest part of my heart.
Robin, who was still about to say something, met the boy's dark eyes, suddenly, dazed for a moment, his throat choked, and his heart sank inexplicably.
Those black eyes were too deep, he had never seen such a gaze from the eyes of a young man that seemed to come from the deepest night.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if there was an invisible force pressing down on him, from the ground, from the sky, from all directions, everything gathered in the boy's deep eyes that seemed to be full of magic at the moment, Locked his limbs and bound his mouth so that he could not move or speak.
"Robin, the so-called 'unaccustomed to the environment' is actually just a side of the environment repelling those who suddenly broke into their own domain...those strange existences that do not belong to their tolerance."
"Humans cannot return to Earth."
The boy repeated the words he had said countless times.
"Everything on this planet, the sound of the wind, the sky, the drop of water, the grain of soil, and even every breath of air you breathe... everything is repelling human beings."
"In your terms, the atoms that are the most basic constituents of this planet are repelling you...their repulsion triggers your 'acclimate' response."
"And as long as you continue to stay on the earth, this rejection will become more and more intense until you are all dead."
The boy stared at Robin and continued talking.
As he stood there, the invisible air current swept over his black hair at the temples, and lifted the soft cloak behind him to fly.
He stood there, his figure was obviously not tall, but for some reason, he gave people a great sense of oppression at this moment.
"If you don't understand yet, I'll put it more bluntly."
"If a foreign object enters our body, the body will mobilize all the power to destroy this foreign object, because our body rejects the existence of foreign objects outside of itself... the same is true for the earth."
Mute looked deeply at Robin, his black eyes like the night sky were frighteningly bright at this moment.
Robin didn't move or speak.
Because at this moment he couldn't move or speak.
He seemed to feel an unbelievably huge shadow from behind the young man standing there. He couldn't see it, but it seemed to be there. It was so huge that it made one's heart palpitate, and the terrifying sense of coercion came over the sky, making one's blood freeze. —
It was as if there was an invisible and noble will declaring its majesty to the ants through the body of the young man.
"The earth is doing its will to destroy the bacteria it deems harmful."
"It has seen humans as foreign bodies, as something that shouldn't exist in it, as a harmful germ that must be eliminated."
—[When humans abandon the earth, the earth will abandon humans forever]—
"Once human beings enter the earth, they will be obliterated by the earth."
