Chapter 14: Fragments of the Eater of the Abyss
Nobuno gave birth to a girl who was in good health, the only thing surprising was the golden glowing heart, the child had been a cabanere from birth, which really scared the midwife.
After Yingluo's examination, the child's condition is stable. Compared to Nameless and Shinnai, the combination of the child and Kabane is more perfect, and there are no traces of doping, more like a new life form.
Yingluo hugged the child and said with a smile: "Is it a hybrid of humans and monsters? It's just the protagonist template brought out of the mother's womb, and at first glance, he is a person who wants to do great things." ”
The mother and daughter of the letter are safe, and the iron city is also under the management of Calamus, compared to the differential treatment of the six leaders, Calamus just set the rules and require everyone to abide by them, although it is not perfect, but at least it is fair, when everyone is under the same conditions, there is a lot less dissatisfaction.
The steam craftsman named Ikoma also contributed his own strength, and his invention of the barrel did have the power to pierce Kabane's heart with a blow, but it had to be fired at close range, which was really a bit of a frustration. However, he used the same technique to transform the ordinary steam gun, making it much more powerful, and also wrapped it in a metal film on top of the long sword, which increased the sturdiness and made white-knuckle combat possible.
With these new weapons, I dare not say that I can completely eliminate Kabane, but at least ordinary people have the strength to fight Kabane. Under Yingluo's guidance, they devised a new tactic, first letting the steam guns suppress the first wave of firepower, splitting the large group of Kabane into small parts, and then the skilled swordsmen carried out white-knuckle combat, carrying out precision strikes to relieve Kabane's combat effectiveness, and finally letting the reserve team with the barrel come forward to replenish the knife and penetrate the heart of Kabane at zero distance.
In this way, the combat efficiency has been greatly improved, and it is much stronger than the previous random shooting method!
Under Calamus's leadership, order was re-established, new tactics and weapons were available, confidence was returned to the people, and everything was moving for the better, but another problem loomed.
Food is already seriously insufficient, and if it weren't for the last Kabane attack that killed a lot of people, I'm afraid they would have run out of food a long time ago.
With the steel industry as the main prestige, it was unable to be self-sufficient from the beginning.
But when they arrived at the pre-determined supply point, Yatsuyo Station, they saw a mess, the good news was that there were still people alive, and the railroad where the bad news was going was blocked.
Yatsushiroei, a fortress for the mining industry, was itself built on a huge mine with a huge lookout towering over it, but it collapsed during the attack on Kabane and was crushed on the railway.
"Isn't it okay to take a detour?" asked Laiqi.
"I'm afraid not!" Calamus shook her head: "If you take a detour, it will take ten more days to travel, but the food can't last that long." ”
"Is there only one way to move the collapsed watchtower, but such a huge structure can't be done by manpower, right?"
"I have a solution. Ikoma has become a technical advisor to the management team, and he said seriously, "Yatsuyo Station has a huge boom to transport minerals, and we can use that boom to lift the watchtower, not too high, as long as it can pass through the castle." On the other hand, the steam boiler that powered it should have been down and needed to be manually restarted, and it was directly above the mine, and there was a high chance that the Kabane would appear, which was very dangerous. ”
Calamus pondered: "For now, there is only one way. ”
Lai Qi nodded: "I understand, the samurai are dealing with this situation, Kabane will leave it to us to deal with, but to open the boiler and operate the boom, you still need the assistance of the steam craftsman." ”
"No problem!" Ikoma patted his chest and said, "I'll help with my friends, after all, it's for our own sake." ”
"Okay, then implement this plan!" Calamus bowed and said, "Everything is up to everyone, I wish you good luck!"
"Yes!"
……
The first time that the new tactics were put to the test of battle, the samurai were both excited and nervous, everyone was preparing for the action, the men were gathering useful resources in the ruins outside the Yatsushiro Station, and the women were preparing food and hot water, and although it was noisy, everything was going in order.
But not all of them were smooth sailing, most of the survivors of Yatsushiro Station were mentally confused and panicked, and there was something called "Kabane Black Smoke" circulating in their mouths, and it seemed that it was it that knocked down the huge watchtower, and the thought of such a terrible monster appearing at any time made everyone's hearts seem to be shrouded in a haze.
Another problem came from Nameless, who became depressed and preoccupied after meeting a survivor, muttering words like "weak, abandoned" and feeling like a bull's horn.
Although it was strange, Yingluo didn't take the initiative to ask, after all, who didn't have a secret or something, in fact, she was thinking about more important things now.
It has been determined earlier that Kabane was formed by the fragments of the Abyss Devourer, and this world has become like this, which is more or less related to Yingluo, since it is her own pot, then she has to bear the corresponding responsibility.
Paying off debts is like killing people to pay for their lives, which is justified!
Doing so won't make Yingluo feel noble, but not doing it will make her feel incompetent...... I can't clean up the mess I make, it's no different from waste.
As a result, how to eliminate Kabane has become her biggest goal at the moment.
Really speaking, Kabane is just a secondary pollutant of the Abyss Devourer, even if they are all killed, as long as the Abyss Devourer still exists, then new monsters will soon appear, so Kabane is not Yingluo's real target, and she has no interest in these "weak" monsters, only by finding the body of the Abyss Devourer and destroying it again can it be regarded as a fundamental solution to the problem.
But...... Where to look?
In its heyday, the Abyss Devourer was as big as the whole of Olympus, and it was clear at a glance, but now it was just a fragment, and God knows where it would hide!
"Really, I'm good at cutting people, but I'm not good at finding people. As soon as Yingluo muttered, there were bursts of gunfire below, and when I looked again, it turned out that the operation had begun, and the samurai had already exchanged fire with Kabane.
Yingluo sat on the roof of the carriage in Kabane, and the situation below was clear at a glance. The new tactics are very effective, and the efficiency of killing the enemy is greatly improved, because of the clear division of labor, everyone's focus direction is also very simple, the swordsman only needs to concentrate on practicing the sword, the gunner only needs to concentrate on the gun, and the reserve team only needs to mend the knife on the body of the cabane who has been sharpened into a stick. Everything is like an assembly line, and everyone can usher in the ultimate victory as long as they do their part.
Yingluo smiled and said, "Isn't it great? As long as you want to do it, you can always do it." ”
The battle below has come to an end, the steam boiler has been restarted, and the boom will slowly lift the collapsed watchtower, and it won't be long before it can reach the point where the Iron City is open to traffic, and the battle plan is a perfect success!
But a tooth-aching sound suddenly sounded, and the entire mine shook violently, and countless lights lit up like stars, all of which were glowing hearts in Kabane, just looking at this number, at least more than 10,000 people!
Instead of moving towards the Iron City, these Kabanes coalesced together to form a huge black four-legged monster that let out a terrible roar at the sky!
Everyone was stunned by this scene, if it was an acceptable existence for a large group of Kabane, then the black monster in front of them was completely beyond people's cognition.
Calamus's eyes widened in surprise and stammered, "That'...... That's 'cabane smoke'?"
Ying Luo also stood up in surprise, not because of this monster, but because she felt the breath of the Abyss Devourer, although it was weak, it was not a second-level pollutant or a lower-level existence, but a hundred percent abyss body, which was inside this black monster!
"I was just thinking about how to find the target, but the target automatically jumped in front of me? What a luck!" Ying Luo curled the corners of his mouth and shouted at the bottom: "Everyone retreat, this is not something you can deal with anymore!"
With a click, the boom also reached the predetermined height, lifting the collapsed watchtower, and all that was left to do was to start the Iron City and escape from Ascension!
The samurai returned to the Iron Castle, and Nameless jumped back, and Calamus immediately ordered the Iron City to move forward at full speed, and she had no intention of fighting the black monster, no matter what it was.
But the black monster obviously didn't want to let them go, and chased after Jia Tiecheng, obviously it was a huge body, but it was extremely flexible, and it couldn't get rid of it at the speed of Jia Tiecheng, but the two were chasing closer and closer!
Nameless yelled into the cockpit, "That monster is about to catch up, think of a way!"
The girl who was driving the Iron City even took off her top, only wore a vest, and said loudly: "Something is stuck in the axis of change, and the pressure can't go up!"
Nameless shouted with a black face: "It's all this time, don't say such incomprehensible words!"
The driver's sister also shouted with a black face: "To put it simply, we can't escape!"
"Damn it!"
With an exclamation, Nameless turned his head, and saw that the monster raised its front paws high and slapped it at Jia Tiecheng, directly slapping the last two carriages into pieces, and there was also a violent vibration in the other carriages, and many people kowtowed their heads and bled out.
The samurai gritted his teeth and said indignantly, "Damn, is this the end of it?"
"Rest assured, I've got this thing in my hands. Yingluo stood up, stretched, and giggled: "You have done a good job so far, this kind of thing outside the specifications is not something you can deal with!"
This monster is not just a large number of Kabanes gathered together, but there is an Abyss Devourer inside it, even if it is just a small fragment, it cannot be solved by conventional means.
If you want to destroy the Abyss Devourer, you must start from the information level, and mortals do not have this ability.
"You go first, I'll solve it!" Yingluo said, jumping deep and jumping onto the top of the watchtower that was hoisted, and the black monsters also followed, seeing Yingluo, it didn't say a word, and without hesitation, it raised its hand and slapped it down!
"Ah!" the people on the Iron City let out an exclamation, and some of the cowards covered their eyes, not daring to look at the bloody scene that followed, but what followed was the monster's terrible scream, and when people opened their eyes, they were surprised to find that the monster's right hand had collapsed, and hundreds of Kabanes fell into the pit below.
"This ......" Lai Qi and the others were full of cold sweat on their foreheads, he didn't close his eyes just now, and clearly saw that the monster's right hand was scattered by Yingluo's punch, if there was anything more surprising than the appearance of a monster, it was that a human suddenly jumped out, but it was more violent than a monster!
Ying Luo shook his wrist, frowned and said, "It's still a bit difficult to rely on physical strength alone, it seems that you need some weapons!" As her mind moved, the space fluctuated, and a white light slipped through the sky, accurately hitting Ying Luo's body, bursting into a dazzling light.
When the light dissipated, the white armor of the Bright Emperor was once again worn on Yingluo's body, showing its luxury and majesty, and the eight teams of sword-shaped wings towered behind him, extremely domineering!
The people of the entire Iron City have looked at it, what happened today is almost worth their lifetime, but no matter what, Yingluo is their side, the stronger Yingluo is, the safer they are, the whole car burst into violent cheers, resounding in the sky, even the driver's sister couldn't help but be excited, and pulled up the whistle!
"Woo!!"
As if blowing the horn of war, Yingluo drew the steel sword at his waist, and his sword aura was all over his body, and even the monster seemed to feel the danger and stopped in fear.
"Strange, when did the Abyss Devourer understand fear?" Ying Luo tilted his head, and finally gave up thinking: "Forget it, let's kill first!"
In the next instant, a fierce sword qi erupted from Ying Luo's body!
……
At the same time, in another world, a white-haired woman who was praying under a towering tree opened her eyes violently: "Finally let me find it, you bastard!"
