Collectors communicate directly through the channel established by the life field, and the life connected to the life field can be intuitively felt.

　　Such as ‘lie’, ‘pleasure’, ‘sadness’, etc., they will be displayed on the channel, far more intuitive and richer than human thoughts and emotions that require facial expressions and verbal communication to express.

　　 "Are you... still loyal to your will?"

　　 "Will? What is that?"

　　 "You don't know the will?"

　　 Perpetual keenly noticed something, the limbs swept over the corpse of a dark gatherer, and a small piece of flesh on the corpse was continuously swallowed.

　　 was silent for a while, and the persistent limbs moved, and under the nervous gaze of a crowd of dark collectors, they pointed to the corpses of the victors who had once flaunted the ice in the melting zone.

In order to ensure absolute ruling authority, the victor did not inherit the genetic memory of the gray and dark collectors, and the most critical information of the "supreme will" in these memories is strictly prohibited, even if they have never contacted each other after being frozen. , And also carried out concealment activities together very tacitly.

　　The reason why there is no loyalty to the dark and gray is that in addition to its own factors, there are also external factors created by the victor-something that has never been understood, even if it is a ‘god’, it is impossible to swear allegiance.

　　 "It seems that they did not inherit genetic memory to you."

　　 "This is indeed the influence of the betrayers that prevents you from being loyal. However, this is not a reason for you to be forgiven. For whatever reason, whatever the reason, the betrayer should die!"

　　 "Next, your life and death will depend on the answer you give me."

　　 "Just start with you."

　　 The limbs pointed at the dark collectors who were first found under the stone slab.

　　 Constantly looking at one of the dark collectors with cold eyes.

　　 "Tell me, who are you loyal to?"

　　 "to...to..."

Suddenly asked like this, and at the same time pointed at by a limb that does not know how much blood of the collector was soaked, the fear of this dark collector directly surpassed the peak of reason. Just organizing normal thinking is very difficult, let alone answering. .

　　 However, continuity doesn't care about this, and the limbs instantly tore the dark collector to pieces.

　　 All the dark collectors were frightened by this scene. They had hidden under the stone slabs early and did not directly witness the more brutal massacre in the previous settlement.

　　 "Why don't you give it a chance to answer?"

　　 "Thinking that can be overwhelmed by mere fear, how can'loyalty' be talked about?"

　　 "Then you come and tell me, who are you loyal to?"

　　 The limbs have pointed at the dark collector who is questioning sustainability.

　　 Suddenly, the fear of falling into the ice cellar directly fell on it, and it was only at this moment that it understood what the previous comrade was facing.

　　 "I...I am loyal to you! Please give me a way out!"

　　 "If the answer is wrong, the betrayer deserves to die."

　　 A single limb then pierced the dark gourd body from the mouth to the tail, giving it a cool heart.

　　 The limbs pointed at the next dark collector. This time, there was no need to repeat the question forever. The dark collector who had already scared away the three souls and seven souls immediately responded.

　　 "I am loyal to the will! I am loyal to the will! Don't kill me! I am loyal to the will!"

　　 This dark collector, like other collectors of ‘labor’, doesn’t have any memory information about the Supreme Will, but the crisis of life and death oppresses its brain.

　　 Through the lasting few words, I learned that this killing star is loyal to a leader of the settlement called ‘will’. Repeatedly asking the answer to that question should be for them to show surrender to the leader called ‘will’.

　　 The continuous movement froze, and the dark-skinned collector expressed joy, because it felt that its little fate should be kept.

　　 However, the facts are just the opposite. The irritability that has exploded geometrically from the channel tells it-this is an outrageous mistake.

　　 "It really makes me sick..."

　　 "Answer wrong, betrayer!"

　　 The limbs are dancing, and the two afterimages are intertwined between the electric light and flint. What follows is the heavy and muffled sound of the limbs hitting the slate after penetrating the gourd-like life form.

　　 "I... Am I still alive?!"

　　 The dark collector who thought he was dead, moved his body in astonishment, and realized that his body was not damaged.

　　 It shifted its gaze to the limbs again, the stone slab was full of cracks after the previous one, and the gourd-like creature that penetrated the stone slab was the dark collector with ‘loyalty’.

　　 "Run away! What are you still waiting for? Run away! The farther you escape, the better!"

　　 Hearing this scream from a companion in the channel with all his strength, the dark collector who had survived his life woke up like a dream, and fled to the distance in horror.

　　 "Want to escape...huh?"

Sustained with killing intent, he was about to withdraw his limbs, but he felt the resistance from the limbs. The pierced collector was desperately wrapping his tentacles around the limbs, even though the sharp blades of the limbs had been embedded in the tentacles. In the flesh and blood, it didn't even intend to let go.

　　 "Do you think this is useful?"

　　 Sustained directly raised the limbs still hanging from the collector, restored it to a normal posture, and prepared to chase the dark collector who was escaping~lightnovelpub.net~ and so on! You haven't asked me yet! "

　　 The dark collector with ‘loyalty’ shouted at Sustainability on the channel, and at the same time, despite his own pain, he shook his limbs desperately, making it difficult for Sustainability to maintain balance in the water.

　　 kept looking at the dark collectors who had fled to the distance, then looked at the one on his own limbs, and stopped the sprint accumulating power of the pursuit.

　　 Until the dark collector completely disappeared from the field of vision, there was no intention to continue pursuing it forever.

　　 "Now that it has escaped, you should be able to answer that question, right?"

　　 At the moment of continuous inquiries, the dark collectors hanging on the limbs also slipped from the limbs.

"I do not know……"

　　 "I'm stupid... what allegiance is... don't understand..."

　　 "I just hope that... the settlement can be... bigger... stronger... not bullied... not hungry... not hurt... so always... trying to smash the ice..."

　　 "...so sleepy and cold...ice..."

　　 "...It's okay again...I'm smashing the ice...hehe..."

　　 "The answer is correct, the same family."

　　 Continuously and carefully, with the lightest movement possible, he held the dark collector with his tentacles and moved towards the hive.

　　 Before and after arriving at the hive, the collectors who suffered through damage were continuously sent into a chamber of the hive. It was the chamber that Huogu designed for collectors to repair the damage during the ancient times.

　　 "I'm sorry, it was too heavy."

　　 Gazed apologetically at the mouth of the chamber that was closing, immersed his mind in the network of rhizomes, and shared the information and intelligence obtained in this ice melting zone.

　　 At the same time, the new type of collectors who are clearing the large settlements along the route have stopped targeting the dark collectors one after another.
