Chapter 10

But the Doctor did not reply.

That made sense; the other party had already assumed this planet was beyond saving, just waiting for his own vital signs to vanish before completely eradicating all life on the planet.

"Doctor, I have discovered survivors. I will take them to a safe zone later. If you hear this message, please report it."

This did not conflict with the Foundation's philosophy.

The Foundation's philosophy is [Secure, Contain, Protect]. Provided they can control the situation, they always tend to save more lives.

Whenever they cannot control it, they choose the most powerful option.

In the atomic age, they were nuclear bomb fanatics.

In the interstellar age, they are orbital bombardment fanatics.

With the Colossus, planet-cracking and neutron sweeps are common, efficient methods.

They even once attempted to connect with the Aeon of "Destruction," Nanook, hoping the Antimatter Legion could help them clean up the "trash."

But it is said that in the end, they found it was better for the Foundation's Administrator to take action personally.

Because after the Antimatter Legion cleaned up the trash, the Foundation still had to clean up the Antimatter Legion.

These guys, with brains stuffed full of the concept of "Destruction," didn't even know how to dodge when facing the Foundation's full fleet.

At this moment, the boy leading the way poked his head out from the front and urged:

"Uncle, come quickly, it's very safe here."

"Alright, alright, coming."

Maxim replied, but this time, as he took a step, he had another strange feeling.

He was being watched again.

Just like before, being stared at by the village of flesh.

Please vote for reviews and flowers; data during the new book period is really important!

The cramped sewer, the black filth on the pipes, and the flocculent material hanging from above allowed the audience to experience sewer life in the most intuitive way.

Especially the numerous stains, similar in color to black and coffee, gave the scene a scent.

Immediately, the coffee business outside the screen suffered a severe impact.

On the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou "Luo Fu," some Vidyadhara and Foxians left the coffee shop immediately.

They went to a vending machine to buy a bottle of soda-soy milk to wash their stomachs.

The coffee shop owner on Jarilo-VI looked at the departing customers, unable to cry; what an unprovoked disaster this was.

Fortunately, such a scene did not last long, and the two stepped on the frozen sewage and arrived at the secret base.

"Uncle, it's right here."

As the boy called out a few names, several children popped out.

They had been hiding in the dried-up sewer all along.

There were boys and girls, their faces very clean and rosy, not looking like they had suffered from the cold at all.

They wore beautiful clothes and looked just like dolls in a shop window.

Among them, one child looked a bit familiar; they must have seen him before.

The oldest was the boy who had brought Maxim here.

"This uncle says he can take us away."

"If we leave here, we'll have food!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the children gathered around Maxim.

The children hugged him very tightly, as if they were unwilling to be far from him.

"Really, Uncle? Can we finally leave here?"

"Uncle, where are we going later? Are there other people there?"

"Yeah, yeah, Uncle, is the place we're going full of people like you?"

This scene, full of love and hope, took on a sacred sense of redemption in the eyes of the audience.

"The old civilization was destroyed by disaster, and the children representing hope and rebirth will go to another world to pioneer the future."

"So cute, I want a child too."

"Single dog, wake up; before that, you need a girlfriend."

"I say, is there a possibility that not only humans are posting comments here, but also parthenogenetic species?"

And the sunny, cheerful girl, March 7th, fully displayed her "silly roe Xuan Xuan Deer" attribute, forgetting the pain once the wound healed, and continued to watch the livestream with a stubborn head.

"Children are very cute, but I also picked up a very cute child here."

"Mm, if only you could be a little smaller."

Saying this, she cast her gaze on "Stelle."

"Stelle" tilted her head to the right, her gaze bypassing her right shoulder, and let out a "pfft" laugh.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

"Stelle" covered her mouth, her eyes drifting elsewhere, her eyebrows smiling.

Then she looked at March 7th, opening her big, watery eyes, and called out in a cutesy voice:

"March 7th~ Auntie~ Hello~"

March 7th covered her forehead:

"Sigh..."

"Now there's another Bai Bai Xuan in the house."

Only.

The audience rarely noticed.

This was a sewer at minus dozens of degrees, and there was no campfire here.

Even an adult could not live in this environment for long.

Let alone children wearing impractical outer garments.

"Clever children, indeed."

In the footage, after Maxim coaxed the children away, he returned to the surface alone.

He returned home, sat in front of his parents' portrait, lit a cigarette, and smoked by himself.

In the corner where he couldn't see, red "worms" as thin as hair squirmed silently, following the cracks in the tiles and the grain of the wooden boards.

Then, they opened pairs of amorphous eyes.

Maxim pressed his finger on the communicator behind his ear.

Long press, on; short press, off.

Distinguishing length by call time.

Long, short, long, short, short...

After finishing, Maxim flicked the ash, letting some fall into the tile cracks, scalding the flesh within so it twitched violently.

"Let's just lay our cards on the table."

A hoarse voice came from beside him.

"It seems our disguise is still too low-level."

When he turned his head, he saw a torrent of flesh and blood, carrying a young skeleton, crushing the glass and pouring into the room.

Before long, it reconstituted into the body of a young woman, even mimicking the eyeballs and the hair on the body's surface.

It was too perfect; every inch of the body was like the embodiment of the concept of "beauty."

Even March 7th felt her face flush slightly the moment she saw it.

Pom-Pom also hurriedly covered Bai Bai Xuan's eyes with its ears:

"You're still young; this isn't suitable for you to see."

The audience stopped talking.

Instead, the anthropomorphic monster asked in a gentle female voice:

"How is it? Do you like this body? We can give her an independent consciousness, make her believe she is human, and be forever loyal to you."

"You can do whatever you want with this body without worrying about it aging or being damaged."

"If you are not satisfied with the appearance of this body, we can modify it according to your needs."

"If you need, we can even install reproductive organs so you can have your own children."
