Chapter 593 Let’s go to hell together!
Chapter 593 Let’s go to hell together!
At the gate of Hope Town.
The caravan attendants who were loading and unloading goods looked around nervously, feeling a little panicked by the mist that suddenly filled the surroundings.
Whether it was the guards at the gate or the mercenaries standing near the trucks, they all held their rifles tightly in their hands, alerting the surroundings, especially the small woods in the north.
The people in the town exchanged glances with each other and whispered in surprise.
”It’s foggy?”
”Why is it afternoon?”
”And this color…”
”This color doesn’t look like ordinary fog. Could there be any poisonous gas…”
”Could it be those mutants?”
This speculation is not unreasonable. After all, the mutants had just come here a few days ago and were defeated by the Alliance.
People’s eyes gradually turned into panic, and they returned home one after another. Those who had the conditions found gas masks to wear, and those who didn’t had the conditions soaked towels to cover their mouths and noses.
A green-skinned hybrid stood at the corner of the street, his hood lowered to cover his frowning brows, and his right hand pressed on his chest.
Half of his body was flowing with mutant blood.
At this moment, this part of blood is restlessly agitated…
at the entrance of the town hall.
Ma Hechang stared blankly at the changes in the surroundings and the sky, a trace of panic was written on his uneasy face, and he whispered in his mouth.
”What is going on?”
Standing next to him, Wei Ming did not speak.
This middle-aged pastor who was always easy-going seemed to have changed at this moment, looking at the sky expressionlessly.
He seemed to have expected what was happening in front of him and was not surprised at all.
Ma Hechang’s Adam’s apple moved, and he looked at him. Suddenly, he felt that the man in front of him was a little strange, and he couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
With trembling lips, he tentatively opened his mouth.
”… Lao Wei?”
The pastor withdrew his gaze from the sky, and suddenly spoke a word to himself.
”It’s the Holy Son.”
Ma Hechang was slightly stunned, his face became more panicked, and he hurriedly asked nervously.
”What did the Holy Son say?”
The pastor said slowly.
”He didn’t say anything.”
”He was just angry.”
Ma Hechang’s breathing stagnated.
”Angry…”
He didn’t remember doing anything to offend the Holy Son.
No –
if you have to say it, there is actually one thing. They were very close to the Alliance before, and they even let those soldiers stay in the town for one night.
The Alliance and the Church had a feud. He had heard a little bit about it. If it was because of this, the Holy Son did have reason to be angry.
But that was a special case after all. Those green-skinned beasts had come to their doorstep. If it weren’t for the Alliance’s help, they might have been in the oil pan.
Should they surrender without resistance?
And why?
The Torch clearly promised to bring them peace and prosperity. They chose to convert because they believed what the missionaries said, but those green-skinned beasts still appeared in front of them.
Who betrayed whom?
”The betrayal of the unbelievers has brought down divine punishment. The green plague will cover the earth, and soon everyone will see the boiling anger…”
After saying something meaningless in a low voice, Wei Ming looked at Mayor Ma, who was confused and terrified, and continued in a meaningful tone.
”Send some people to the Pine Cone Farm to have a look.”
”That’s the fate of a traitor.”
…
The Pine Cone Farm in the center of the fog.
Since most of the players were scattered around the settlement to set up defenses, the gathered survivors attracted the remaining players to the door of the manor, so at this moment this inconspicuous building seemed a little deserted, and only the entrance to the underground laboratory on the north side was heavily guarded.
When the footprint stepped on the floor, the empty corridor spread out circles of translucent ripples, outlining the outline of a streamlined exoskeleton. The
black eyepiece covered the man’s eyes. He was like a machine that executed orders. Without a word of nonsense, he raised the muzzle of his hand cleanly.
The moment her eyes met the muzzle of the gun, Yinyin felt a surge of hot blood rushing to her head, and her brain was blank as if it had crashed.
Time at this moment seemed to be covered with frost, and every second was infinitely stretched.
There was no time to think at all.
She almost instinctively hugged the lamb in her arms tightly, turned around suddenly, and used her back to block her in front of her.
A sharp pain penetrated her back and came out from the lower part of her ribs, causing her body to sway forward and she almost fell to the ground.
At the same time, she heard the short gunshot.
”Bang!”
She lowered her head and saw the beautiful clothes stained with blood, and the lamb with wide eyes.
Indistinctly, she heard a heart-wrenching cry in her trance-
”No!”
The lamb…
She wanted to speak, but only blood gushed out.
The man seemed to be planning to shoot again, but for some reason he mechanically lowered the raised muzzle of the gun and pulled out the blood-stained dagger and walked towards her.
Intuition told Yinyin.
The man’s target seemed not to be her.
By the way, speaking of it… In
the whole manor, it seems that the lamb is the only one who is not affected by the Naguo.
She seemed to understand something vaguely. If the Naguo is really important to the Torch Church, they will definitely not hope that the alliance will develop an antidote. It is normal for them to target the lamb.
And after all, the reason why everyone became like that last night was actually because of Naguo…
It was such a simple truth, but she didn’t know why she never noticed it, and even blamed her father’s death on those people, thinking that it would be better if those people had never come.
The cause and effect had actually been planted a long time ago, and it was planted by them. It didn’t matter whether those people came here or not.
Her father easily believed those people and gave everything to them, which was the reason for his death.
She was the same, she believed in the Holy Son until the end, and now he was going to kill her best friend.
In the end, she was the sheep in the sheepfold…
”Run…”
Hot liquid ran down her cheeks, not knowing whether it was blood or tears of regret, she used up her last bit of strength to leave these words in her friend’s ear.
The shaky consciousness finally couldn’t hold on any longer, and fell forward with her body, falling into the boundless abyss.
However, to her disappointment, the always docile and obedient lamb did not listen to her and run away this time, but was still doing meaningless things, bandaging her wounds that could not stop bleeding with clothes. The
human-shaped shadow fell on the two of them. Looking at the tip of the shoe so close, the lamb’s neck stiffened, put away its trembling hands, faced him, and knelt on the ground.
”Please… don’t hurt Yinyin, save her, I, I can die for her…”
The man didn’t speak.
He was the executioner of the Inquisition, codenamed “Mountain Falcon”. Unlike those executioner teams that were part-time defense missions, he was more like a lone killer than a special combat mission unit. There was
only one person to be executed in this mission – the antibody carrier who survived the No. 03 band.
If the bishop hadn’t said that the little girl named Yinyin had a “holy domain” implanted in her head and asked him to spare her life, he would have just shot both of them away.
But…
why did the bishop do such unnecessary things?
There should be quite a few holy domains in this settlement, is there anything special about this one?
He didn’t understand.
But he didn’t intend to think too much about it.
As the sword of the church, he only needed to follow the instructions of the forerunners and eliminate those heretics who might hinder the great plan.
In the face of civilization, one or two lives are insignificant.
Looking at the hand reaching for his hair and the dagger close at hand, the lamb’s shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and he closed his eyes in fear of pain.
However, the expected pain did not come. Instead, a roar accompanied by a whistling sound penetrated the entire corridor.
Shan Falcon, who was holding the dagger, was startled. He clenched his fist and smashed it behind him smoothly, colliding with the flying black shadow.
The huge force was beyond his imagination, and he staggered and took two steps back before he stopped.
When he saw the face clearly, he was stunned for half a second.
He remembered this person.
He clearly remembered that he cut the guy’s throat with a dagger, and he was with another guy wearing an exoskeleton.
But for some reason, the guy who should have died was alive at this moment, and the scar on his neck was gone, replaced by a scarlet centipede-shaped scar.
The centipede-shaped scar did not look like something on his body. It was like a large piece of gauze stuck to his neck, and blood could be seen gradually oozing out under the bulging flesh membrane.
The man held a short knife in his right hand, blocking the dagger he stabbed at him, with a ferocious smile on his face, and spat a mouthful of blood on his helmet.
”MMP! Fortunately, I have a biological prosthesis…”
Before, Kidney Fighter and Killer Dagger both installed exoskeletons. Haogou thought that he couldn’t install a useless piece of metal like those two idiots, but he felt that something was missing if he didn’t install anything.
So he had an idea, and followed Mosquito’s example to find Xiaoyu, and got himself a biological prosthesis.
It is said that it can be immune to one fatal injury, and can also speed up HP recovery in battle. The only price is experience decay.
Fortunately, he installed one.
Otherwise, the knife that stabbed him in the neck just now would have killed him directly.
Shan Falcon didn’t understand what he was saying, but just looked at the cursing man in front of him coldly, and kicked him in the chest suddenly, trying to get some distance and shoot.
Good Dog groaned after being kicked in the chest. It felt like a train hit the breastplate of the exoskeleton, squeezing all the air out of his lungs.
However, he did not let the killer succeed. He locked the lower limb joints of the “Type 5” Light Cavalry Exoskeleton to resist the kick. Then he kicked his legs hard, grabbed his thighs with both hands, and tried to push him to the ground.
Shan Falcon was shocked when he failed to distance himself. While controlling his center of gravity, he stabbed the man who was holding his right leg with his dagger. The dagger pierced
into the place that was not covered by armor, deeply piercing two inches below the shoulder blade of Good Dog. Although it didn’t hurt, it still made him grimace.
Seeing that he didn’t let go, Shan Falcon continued to stab several times without mercy, almost stabbing all the non-vital parts of his back that were not protected by armor.
After all, he was a perception type, and his physical fitness was not as good as his good brothers who were strength and physique types. The good dog who wanted to trip the killer to the ground didn’t catch him, but instead had his back bleeding and was stabbed countless times.
”Fuck…are you really kidding?”
Looking at the little girl lying in a pool of blood, the good dog gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He used all his strength to turn around and hit the window on the side of the corridor near the patio.
Anyway, he only has one life in three days. If he doesn’t use it now, he will regret it sooner or later!
Snap –
the glass of the window was smashed outwards and fell from the second floor to the open space in the patio, making a crisp sound like a bell.
The fierce fighting sound was enough to attract the attention of other players near the annex. Someone should come here soon.
The good dog stared at the killer who hadn’t said a word from beginning to end with a ferocious look, and suddenly exerted force with his arms and legs, dragging him out of the window.
”Then let’s go together!”
Shan Falcon was taken out of the window unexpectedly. He never expected this guy to do this. He stared at this desperate madman in surprise.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and reached out to grab the edge of the window. He hung outside the window and raised his left foot to kick the man who was holding his right leg.
Of course, he would not die from falling from this height.
But his mission was the lamb carrying antibodies. If he fell from here, he would definitely have no chance. Unable to
break free from the man who was holding his right leg, Shan Falcon gritted his teeth and threw away the dagger. He was about to touch the fragmentation grenade hanging on his waist, but he saw the bruised face under him showing a smile of success.
”Let’s go to hell together!”
Just now, he pulled out the fuse of the last plastic bomb on the exoskeleton strap – this last bomb is also an old tradition of the Burning Corps.
A wisp of green smoke rose from under the chest armor of the exoskeleton.
Shan Falcon’s expression froze for a moment, but before his face could turn into a look of fear, the flames and smoke from the explosion instantly engulfed the two of them.
The windows of the entire corridor were shattered.
Because the explosion happened outside, the shock wave did not spread to the corridor. However, even so, Xiaoyang, who was about to stand up to help, was thrown to the ground.
”Ugh!”
Despite the pain that almost squeezed out tears, Xiaoyang struggled to get up from the floor covered with glass shards. He looked at the broken window in fear, then looked at Yinyin lying in a pool of blood, bit his lip and limped over.
The shocking pool of blood made her no longer have any hope for the one in ten thousand possibility, but she still stretched out her trembling index finger and put it on Yinyin’s lips…
No breathing.
She dropped her hand, and she felt a dizzy head, and she collapsed to the ground with all her strength.
At this time, hurried footsteps came from the corridor, and she saw many people rushing over here, including the researcher sister who drew her blood, and other people wearing exoskeletons.
”There’s a wounded person here!”
”Stop the bleeding!”
”Fuck… this guy isn’t breathing.”
”Where’s the treatment needle?! Can someone lend me one?”
”Lend me some shit, I have one here!”
In a trance, she heard those people shouting something, picking up Yinyin from the glass shards and blood on the ground and rushing to the stairs.
Chen Yutong squatted in front of her, hugged her shoulders tightly, and said something in her ear with a crying voice.
Without a bit of joy of surviving the disaster, Xiaoyang suddenly felt her nose sour, and all the emotions poured out of her eyes.
She had never been so sad…
…
Official forum.
Although Jinhe City, 800 kilometers away from Shuguang City, has become a mess, the forum far away in another world is still very calm.
Stop talking nonsense. Brother has found a new nest in the north of Luoye City, where you can catch eels as thick as thighs, but it’s a bit useless.
The Storm Troops took over the Jungle Troops’ mission of suppressing bandits. Brother Quanshui was sharing his experience of alien nests and jungle warfare in the north on the forum.
As for Big Eyes, he lost contact for a long time in Luoxia Province a few days ago. He finally came back recently and shared his travel experience on the forum, which can be regarded as a strategy in another sense.
By the way, the Willant people stranded in Pioneer City finally waited for the parts sent from afar, repaired the airship and set off on their return journey.
They were about to go to the distant Triumph City. The Battlefield Man was both looking forward to it and hesitant. He didn’t know when he could return home in glory wearing a pangolin vest.
But in general, everyone’s daily life was still very happy.
Ye Shi, who had logged off early, reported the situation in the group. After that, he had nothing to do, so he went to the forum to open a post out of boredom.
”Damn… I capsized in the gutter today.”
Edgepad: “What’s wrong with you, brother?”
Irena: “Tell me, I’m curious. (Funny)”
The post was quiet for a while.
After being urged for a full minute, Ye Shi reluctantly said.
”…Uh, I was stabbed on the way to trigger the mission.”
Fountain Commander: “Puff…”
Elf King Fugui: “Who can stab you, a perception system?”
Ye Shi: “I’m also confused, I didn’t feel anything, Haogou and I were gone in an instant, and I saw that his neck was cut… That guy must be problematic.”
Fountain Commander: “Could it be an awakened person of the Torch Church?”
Ye Shi: “It’s not as simple as an awakened person… I feel more like that…”
Edge Pad: “Which one???”
Ye Shi: “Frost, Eclipse, etc…”
Unprofessional Anti-Bun: “What the hell? Bionic warriors?!”
Ye Shi: “Well… I heard that the essence of the perception system is the comprehensive induction of certain biological pheromones and the capture of environmental changes. Bionics don’t have the former at all, and it’s basically difficult for me to sense it in advance.”
Of course, it could also be a cyborg like Heya who has a large number of bionic prostheses implanted.
Considering that the black boxes held by the Torch Church are mainly synthetic bionic organs, it shouldn’t be difficult to create a cyborg.
At most, it’s just a matter of cost.
Fountain Commander: “Well… Although I don’t know the situation over there, if you say so… Isn’t that annex in danger?”
Ye Shi: “I’ve already told the brothers in charge of online and offline communication in the group, it shouldn’t be a problem… But it’s strange, why hasn’t brother Haogou come down yet, didn’t he die with me?”
The Burning Corps has always had the habit of arranging people to take turns on offline duty, so as to facilitate timely online and offline information exchange. This is also the idea of Brother Fang.
So as soon as he died, Ye Shi went to the group to tell the brother who passed the message, and asked him to go online to inform everyone that something happened in the annex.
But the strange thing is that Brother Gou hasn’t popped up yet.
Ye Shi was wondering in his heart, but as soon as he said the devil, the devil appeared. The moment he typed this line of words, the ID that was taken by the good name by the dog popped up in the post.
”Fuck! I’m fighting with that BOSS, and you’re here to post nonsense?!”
Ye Shi: “Fuck, what’s going on?! Aren’t you dead?”
Hao Gou: “Who told you that I’m dead! Let me tell you, Xiaoyu’s resurrection armor is really useful! At that time, I was ready to log off, but my neck felt hot and I stood up again!”
Elf King Fugui: “??? Is it so awesome?”
Yirena: “This cheat… is simply invincible, I’ll make one later. (Funny)”
Ye Shi: “Wait, let’s not talk about the resurrection armor, how is the situation over there?! What the hell is that guy who stabbed us?”
He is more concerned about that little Loli.
As for whether the good brother is dead or not, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, everyone has three days to live. I have saved the game recently, so if he dies, he dies.
Good Dog: “Who knows, that guy ignored me at all, but it seems like he was going for the little girl with antibodies… Damn, what an inhuman thing, he could even kill a child that young!”
Ye Shi: “Where’s the person? (Sweating)”
Good Dog: “I can’t win, that guy is something, he wanted to give me five fucking knives in one second, he must be the cyborg you mentioned in the post! But I reacted quickly, dragged him outside the corridor and replaced him using the old method.”
Outlaw: “I’m a newbie, I don’t understand so I ask, what is the old method. (Curious)”
Good Dog: “Hehe, when I come back to life I’ll teach you step by step. (Shy)”
Just as everyone was discussing, Brother Fang’s ID suddenly popped up.
”Who among you is on the Iron Heart? Or can you contact the airship in the game?”
Feng Qing: “(Raises hand)”
Fang Chang: “About 25 kilometers in the direction of the entire Pine Cone Farm, near the precise coordinates (X-233, Y-365), our reconnaissance team witnessed a group of mutants, about a thousand people, and found a small number of vehicles, the type of which is unknown, traveling at a speed of between 10 and 20… We are in radio silence, please help me report the coordinates to the Iron Heart.”
Feng Qing: “Huh?” Fang
Chang: “What’s wrong?”
Feng Qing: “Nothing… Our captain just went out to help you scout, but now it seems that he is not needed? 0.0”
Ye Shi: “It’s okay, we will laugh at him for making a wasted trip later, and we will definitely not let him down. (Funny)”
Irena: “(Funny)”
…
Iron Heart, bridge.
Looking at the vast sea of smoke piled on the ground in the distance, the captain standing by the French window couldn’t help but frowned.
”…The visibility on the ground is too poor. Our plane can’t see anything.”
Chu Guang looked at him and asked.
”Have you found the source of the fog?”
The captain shook his head with a heavy look.
”The consultant we invited from the Institute of Biology believes that…these obstructions may not be simple fog, but spores released from the soil.”
”Spores?” Chu Guang frowned slightly.
The captain nodded and said.
”The consultant said that according to the clues she collected from the front line, the hyphae lurking in the soil and in the bodies of plants and animals will release spores similar to mutant slime molds under certain circumstances, but it does not have the ability to exchange information through spores like the mother nest of slime molds…This is mainly caused by some of the gene fragments in its body that come from mutant slime molds.”
Chu Guang: “Is there a connection between the Naguo fungus and the mutant slime mold?”
The captain hesitated for a moment and said.
”She thinks there is a connection, but that Naguo should not be a branch of the mutant slime mold, but a part of the gene fragments artificially cut from the mutant slime mold and grafted into the nucleus of some other species… This research is still in progress, and the consultant can’t give me an accurate conclusion.”
Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.
”I see.”
At this moment, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on his shoulder, suddenly raised his head and whispered something in his ear.
After listening, Chu Guang looked at the captain standing beside him.
”Prepare firepower for the port gun position and the bow main gun, aim at the (X-233, Y-365) coordinate area, correct 500 meters to the west, and advance the barrage two kilometers to the west.”
The captain’s face became serious when he heard this, and he immediately responded without asking the reason.
”Yes!”
