"No, I can't run!"
The Duke, Janivila, had to come to a stop against the wall after a long run. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info physical strength was not his strong point in the first place, and at this time it was even closer to his limit. Fine beads of sweat covered his face, and his eyes were a little foggy at the moment.
Thick clothes were meant to show aristocratic demeanor, but this was clearly not suitable for sports. Despite this, the Duke did not seem to have any thoughts of untying himself. He gasped violently as he looked around nervously.
This is an area with guest rooms, but it seems that none of the guests inside have returned, and there is no sign of anyone patrolling.
At that moment, the Duke heard a roar from the other end of the door, and he held his breath to listen to the details. It certainly wouldn't be a human voice, and across the door it was as if there was a wild beast gnawing at flesh and blood there.
Bang bang bang!
Heavy footsteps were heard, and something big was coming. The duke's face was pale, and he groped behind him, found a hidden door, and immediately slowly pushed the door in. The second he closed the door completely, he saw through the crack the figure of a superior beast in leather armor.
The Duke endured the pain in his body, suppressed his breathing, and slowly retreated, looking for cover. This room is not small, even larger than his, and is a very luxurious design, presumably for those who have money.
He kept backing away, away from the direction of the door, to the doorway of the room that led to another room. One last glance at the location of the door, and as he prepared to enter the other room connected to it, he had to remember the horrible sound he had heard earlier.
Because in front of his eyes, on a large bed of ten square meters covered with pure white sheets, severed limbs and flesh were strewn, and a "man" with a distended and deformed body was opening his bloody mouth, using his hands with long nails to dig up a tattered corpse, and then use the dug up pieces of flesh to satisfy his desire that could not be filled at all.
The Duke was stunned and completely speechless. He had never seen such a tragic scene, and it should be a "person" who eats, and it seems that the person who is being eaten is also a person. He could also find some human traits in the two men, not the structure of their bodies, but the shreds of the torn clothes.
"Is that a beast?"
The duke knew something about it, and he knew that there was such a beast of doom, because it fell into the black abyss of despair, and when the soul returned, it caused the body to be doomed. Such doom beasts have a strong evolutionary potential, their first instinct is to eat, and the primary devouring object is naturally the direct murderer who caused their doom, and everything becomes chaotic after that, they are blind devourers.
When a primary doom beast devours enough flesh, it will gather strength in its body, and generally speaking, as long as they absorb enough flesh and blood, it will become a large mid-level doom beast. Then, after gathering enough strength, they can also undergo a metamorphosis, shed several layers of flesh shells, and finally turn into high-level beasts.
The simple strength of the high-level Doom Beasts is actually about the same as that of the Mid-level Doom Beasts, but because they have intelligence, their destructive power is unimaginable.
Therefore, whether it is in the empty continent or in the Ming continent, people often kill the beasts between the intermediate and the beginner. Killing them when they're messy won't allow them to grow.
Blue-gray stripes, like a stealthy snake, emerge one after another on the cannibalistic "man", his skin and his entire body are expanding. But instead of simply swelling, his digestive system has developed its evolutionary potential, plundering the power of the eaten. He had grown weapons necessary for survival, muscles that were strong, blue-gray skin that could bind the flesh, and blood that had begun to become filthy in the first place.
The "man" kept eating, as if he would never have enough to eat.
However, this situation will not continue, because under the "man" so frantically gnawing, the flesh and blood on the sheets have almost been eaten by him. All that's left is the white bones, and piles and piles of blood and unidentified substances.
"No, I need to get out of here. Let's hope it won't notice me. ”
Seeing that the "man" was gradually eating up, his intuition made the duke decide to leave here. However, just as he turned around, one accidentally knocked off a vase.
The sound of porcelain shattering is particularly clear in the space.
"I'm XXXXXX", the dignified Duke wanted to cry without tears at this time, it was because his fortune had reversed recently, why did he always encounter a dead end today.
And then the only plausible thing happened.
The "man" who licked his fingers sniffed, and his greedy eyes suddenly looked at the duke, and his body instinctively began to act, and at that moment he pounced on the duke. The fresh flesh and blood are very attractive to the beasts of the Turbulent Period.
On the other hand, the organization formed by Kongzhou and Mingzhou temporarily has already begun to act.
In a dark aisle, a group of marching men stopped. Captain Smith opened a map, pointed to some places on it and sketched it, and then said to the people around him: "There are not many checkpoints in the control area of the energy center, and I think if they occupy it, they will have to rely on powerful bombs to threaten the entire ship." ”
"So if we can get rid of the people there and the bombs that are hiding somewhere, will the matter be settled?"
The interviewer was a man of mysterious origin, known almost exclusively as a good agent, and by the name he gave to the people when he introduced him, James Bond.
"I don't think they're going to go directly to the work area of the energy center, it's hell, the temperature is at least 100 degrees or more, and the usual staff only go in special overalls when they are overhauling. Smith said with an unlit cigar in his mouth, habitually taking a hard puff.
"Are there any bombs that can withstand temperatures of more than 100 degrees?" Bond asked rhetorically.
Smith's face became more and more solemn, there are definitely such bombs, and there are quite a few. "In that case, we're going to have to go there and find out where the bomb is. What is needed most now is time. ”
"Maybe we can put up barriers and make their remote control ineffective. Someone chimed in.
"It's useless, they must have set up more than one bomb, no matter how powerful our barrier is, it can't stop him from detonating it directly, in that case, it will still explode together. Smith said.
"What we can think of, how could the enemy not think of it, knowing that we are facing a bunch of madmen. Someone sighed.
Just then, Bond spoke, "Well, I have an idea. ”
Everyone's attention was immediately focused on Bond, who smiled slightly, pointed to the areas above, and said seriously: "The enemy's purpose is to force us to compromise, so it can be imagined that they will be prepared to prevent us from stopping it." But that's why if they always thought they were winning, they wouldn't have detonated the bomb, and I was going to seize this fleeting opportunity. ”
"Let's be clear. Captain Smith's eyes were clear.
"I'll sneak in there later, finish off the people outside, and then go straight to the control center and restore control of the entire ship. But I won't affect their line, and I don't think they'll be staring at it all the time, so you'll probably know if you give it a try. I've just checked with the people concerned that it will take at least a minute or so at most. ”
"So we're going to defuse the outside bombs and put up a barrier within that minute?"
"No, I want to just shut down the energy center and put up a barrier. Bond said seriously.
The Augustus is a giant ship, but its energy center is not large because it uses a special energy source. It is small in size, but the energy contained in it is beyond imagination, and it is one of the leading technologies in the world.
It is precisely because of this that once the energy center is detonated, the power generated is definitely not only to blow up the Augustus to smithereens, maybe Changming Lake and Wulong Mountain will be blown to pieces, and the impact on the imperial capital will naturally not be small.
Considering the possibility of an explosion, the designers designed an isolation device from the outset, which could forcibly stop the reactor and temporarily moths the raw materials and process materials of the reaction. When the isolation device is in operation, all external output lines are naturally cut off, and the setting to turn it on is on the reactor, which needs to be turned on manually, or it can be done by entering voice commands at close range.
"How sure are you?"
"No more than fifty percent!"
"Okay, it's up to you. ”
With a wave of his hand, Captain Smith placed the burden in Bond's hands. Bond responded solemnly, "I'll leave right away." ”
Nearby, the special operations personnel who were part-time Taoist priests who were excluded from the discussion circle had wonderful expressions on their faces.
Some people are even unstable because of incomprehensible propositions, which is simply a rejection of the life path that he has cultivated for decades.
