Chapter 468 Sandrine, I have witnessed your story.
Chapter 468 Sandrine, I have witnessed your story.
Gu Yeming watched the signs of life slowly disappear from Sandrine's body. He closed his eyes slightly and sat quietly for a minute.
Without much emotion, he straightened his body, and with a somewhat solemn movement, he slowly pulled the curtain beside the bed, isolating Sandrine's body in this small space.
"Sandrina, I witnessed your story."
His voice was low and steady, as if he was whispering goodbye to the other person.
He took a last deep look at Sandrine, who was already dead, then turned around and slowly left the room at a leisurely pace.
As soon as he stepped out of the building, Gu Yeming saw Seren and Drake already waiting there.
As soon as the two saw him, they hurried over to him.
Drake was about to speak, but was shocked by Gu Yeming's next words and stood still. His throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Laurentson is dead."
Gu Yeming's voice was very light, but it was like a heavy hammer, making a dull echo in the air.
Drake subconsciously looked towards the direction of the room where Sandrine died. Endless loneliness and sadness instantly surged in his eyes. His lips trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse but with a hint of relief:
"In fact, I have known for a long time that this day will come sooner or later... Lord Lawrenson is too tired, and it is time for him to take a good rest."
Gu Yeming did not respond, but looked at the dusty and dusty streets. The fog was thick, and the whole world seemed to be covered by a hazy filter, appearing illusory and unreal. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"Do you know who Lawrenson is?"
Upon hearing this, Drake was stunned for a moment, with a look of obvious confusion on his face. He then looked at Gu Yeming with some confusion in his tone:
"Lord Lawrenson is Lord Lawrenson. What else can it mean? What's the problem?"
Gu Yeming did not answer, but waved his hand gently, indicating that Drake did not need to worry about this issue anymore.
"In that case, I have already arranged accommodations for both of you. Lord Lawrenson just passed away, and I still have some things to deal with. I am really sorry that I cannot accompany you."
Although Drake was full of doubts, he still resisted the urge to ask further questions. He simply said hello to Gu Yeming and Seren, then turned and walked into the building.
At this time, a guard came forward with a respectful and polite attitude: "Two guests, please follow me."
Seren was about to raise his foot to catch up, but found that Gu Yeming was standing there, motionless. He stopped and looked at Gu Yeming with a puzzled look on his face.
At this moment, Seren clearly heard Gu Yeming muttering to himself:
"No one even knows his name...?"
Seren was even more confused and asked cautiously, "What happened?"
Hearing this, Gu Yeming paused for a moment, then came back to his senses and shook his head gently:
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt a little emotional."
Then, Gu Yeming turned his gaze to the guard and said politely, "Thank you."
The guard was flattered and waved his hands hurriedly, saying with a bit of restraint: "It's okay, this is what I should do."
The two followed the guard to their residence and pushed open the door. They saw that the two rooms were decorated very simply but were spotlessly clean. Every corner exuded neatness and simplicity.
"I'm sorry, both guests.... This is the best room we can offer at the moment."
When the guard saw the two men standing outside the door, he mistakenly thought that they were dissatisfied. A trace of nervousness flashed across his face and he hurriedly explained.
Gu Yeming smiled slightly and said softly:
"You misunderstood. Thank you."
The guard was relieved when he heard this. He relaxed and said:
"Okay, if you have any questions, just call me anytime."
After greeting the two of them, he turned and left.
"Let's rest here for a while first and make plans later." Gu Yeming said casually and closed the door.
Seren had no objection to this. After all, he had to rely on the other party at the moment. As long as it did not involve matters that endangered his life, he was willing to follow the other party's orders unconditionally.
Gu Yeming walked to the bed, sat down slowly, shook his head, and tried to put aside all the complicated thoughts in his mind.
Then, he skillfully opened the system screen and clicked to enter the player forum.
The player forum is silent at the moment, no longer updating players' new posts in real time like in the past.
The reason is very simple. "Infinite 6-1 Plane" has quietly started the 2.2 version update.
A striking notice came into view:
[Notice to all players of the plane, "Infinite 6-1 Plane" has started the 2.2 version update]
[Please prepare all relevant matters before being forced offline]
[All players have been forced offline]
[Version update officially started]
【Version 2.2 is being updated...】
Gu Yeming knew in his heart that after the 2.2 version update, players from all planes would inevitably be involved in a brutal war with the Star Devourers.
He silently closed the system screen, lay down on the bed, and stared at the light bulb on the ceiling that was emitting dim light. His thoughts were wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
All kinds of complicated thoughts kept interweaving and colliding in his mind. Gradually, he felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and sleepiness surged like a tide. Finally, he slowly fell asleep in this quiet room.
And deep in the underground city, the sound of mechanical gears turning continues. That rhythmic sound seems like the clock of fate, ruthlessly passing away the precious little time left in this world second by second.
......
Time flies and two days pass in a flash.
In the Kongmeng Shelter, the atmosphere in the office of the person in charge was solemn. Gu Yeming sat in a chair with a focused look. When he heard what Drake said, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face:
"You mean, you are the only one left to protect the country?"
At this time, Drake has taken over as the new person in power. This is not his own decision, but a decision that Sandrine had made long ago.
"Yeah..." Drake sighed, his tone full of fatigue:
"Even if we mobilize the whole country to fight against those horrible bugs that suddenly appeared, we still have no chance of winning."
"The so-called decisive battle with the native weird monsters before is completely different from this one. It's a world of difference. It's completely different."
Drake's eyes revealed a deep sense of powerlessness:
"The dark layer monsters couldn't even hold out for ten minutes, so how could we possibly hold out for too long? Fortunately, my ability to save my life is pretty strong, so I was able to barely survive until now."
