Chapter 22: Awakening 4
Awakening 4
Within the walls of the north and south, a large number of refugees were shackled and toiled by orcs, most of them exiles who had been captured on the run. During the war between good and evil, nearly a billion people across the world were displaced.
From the very beginning of the equatorial line to the northern border, more and more people are fleeing, most of them do not want to be mutated by the evil orcs, and would rather live a life of escape than be mutated into a group of beasts, and disappear into the smoke of war as a victim of war.
The war between good and evil slowly evolved from the first war of high-end weapons to the final hand-to-hand combat between orcs and orcs, from all the cities to ruins, to the point that there are no more high-rise buildings.
The Evil Juggernaut Alliance has pushed the war step by step to the northern frontier, and the whole world is almost under their control. Even though the Coalition of Resistors made the most stubborn resistance, it was unable to resist the attack of the giant beast, its impregnable skin and body tens of meters high, crushing the army of the Alliance of Raptors like ants.
Human civilization has disappeared in the war, and scientific and technological development and economic development have lost any meaning in this world. If there is one science in this world that is advancing, it is biology, and both camps are looking for cutting-edge biological scientists.
The Alliance of the Good Ones wants to gather these people to work on mutating orcs back into humans, especially those like Juggernaut, and the Juggernaut League wants them to develop a faster way to mutate humans. In the end, the war can only be fought between people, the confrontation between orcs and orcs.
In a world of rapid technological and economic decline, humanity has returned to the era of slavery. By building walls, building towers, smelting weapons, and manufacturing weapons, humanity regressed from a heyday of technology into a slave society thousands of years ago.
After walking all night on the mountain road, Liangsheng and the other three finally looked at the northern city in the south at the top of the mountain, and a towering wall that stretched for tens of thousands of miles firmly surrounded the entire northern city. These mighty walls were built with the blood and tears of enslaved people, but only to prevent humans like them from fleeing.
In the eyes of the Juggernaut Alliance, humanity itself has become a kind of wealth for them, they need more people to serve them, they need more people to enrich their army of orcs, and they need more people to mutate into orcs to enslave and rule the world.
From the top of the hill, you can clearly see that outside the gate of the city wall, dozens of green military tents are stationed, each with a huge fingerprint badge on it, and three teams of kobold patrolling outside the tents. Liangsheng pointed to the half-orc camp and stretched out his hand to pat the male lion beside him and said, "You take them to wait on the mountainside, you can't get close, I'll go by myself!"
The male lion looked in the direction of Liangsheng's finger and nodded with a whine. "Wait for me in half an hour, I'll pack up these brutes, and you guys will follow me into the city!"
"Old man, do you really want to go by yourself?" Natasha sat on the lion's back and looked at Liangsheng worriedly. Although he already knew that Liangsheng was a mutant, he was still full of worry when he looked at the camp of the half-orcs.
"No problem, you two just wait here peacefully, and you don't have to look at what's going on below, just wait for half an hour!" Liangsheng smiled, waved at Natasha and Ruoan, and looked at the lion, "It's just that you big guy, where can I hide you when I enter the city, hey, forget it and go in first!" said Liangsheng turned his head and walked down the mountain.
At the entrance to the northern fence of the orc camp, a kobold dozed off with a gun, and across from him, a donkey-headed man also leaned against the fence and snored. An old voice came from outside the fence mouth humming a ditty. "Ask the world, what is the most leisurely, a pot of old wine, accompany me. Ask the world, who is the most romantic, two taels of old wine, any wandering... ”
Hearing the tune, the kobold's confused eyes immediately widened, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and a thin old man, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, swayed left and right towards him. The kobold pointed his gun at the old man and shouted at him, "Hey, where did the crazy old man dare to break into the camp!" and reminded the donkey-headed man, who was still vague.
"Hey, hey, how do you know that my name is crazy old man, hahaha! Indeed, my nickname is crazy old man, you kid listens smart, come on, come on, and give you a mouthful." More than ten meters away, the old man walked in front of the kobold in three or two steps, and handed the wine bottle to his mouth. The kobold leaned over to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed twice, then his mouth opened, his tongue spat out, and he gasped for breath. The donkey-headed man next to him saw that the signs were wrong, and stretched out his leg and kicked the kobold.
"Old man, you don't want to live anymore, let's go, since you have been sent to the door, go to the city to be a hard laborer!" The donkey-headed man grabbed the old man's arm and dragged him into the camp. The old man didn't resist, he followed drunkenly, with soft legs under his feet, and kept muttering: "Where are you going to pull the master?"
"Hmph, where are you going, pull you to do hard labor, old man!" The donkey-headed man pressed the old man forward, and the kobold behind him got down the old man's wine bottle, the old man was reluctant to do so, and looked back at his wine bottle and shouted: "You give back the master's wine! I want to drink! Give it back to me!" The old man's shout attracted all the orcs in the camp to come out to watch, and even alarmed the wolf-headed man in the largest tent in the camp to come out.
"Wolf King, this... This old man is drunk, I... I'll take him to the city to do hard labor!" The donkey-headed man nervously saluted the wolf king who came out of the big tent, and the kobold behind him had already thrown the old man's wine bottle aside, but the old man shouted at the kobold reluctantly: "Give back the master's wine!"
The wolf king looked at the old man who was talking nonsense and snorted disdainfully, picked up the steel whip in his hand and threw it at the old man. The whip made of steel fell fiercely on the old man's back, and the old man seemed to come to his senses, and turned his head to look at the wolf king angrily. The wolf-headed man didn't care, looked at the old man with disdain and said, "What the is this kind of person doing? Just kill him and throw him out!"
The donkey-headed man received the order of the wolf king, picked up the gun in his hand and prepared to kill the old man, but the old man kept glaring at the wolf king, gritted his teeth fiercely, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Lord will let you taste death today!"
"Let me give you a taste of suffocation!" the old man said fiercely in the wolf-headed man's ear, his arms tightening tighter and tighter, and a large battalion of orc soldiers around him had already raised their guns and aimed them at the wolf-headed man and Liangsheng.
"It's still used... Gun... Give me... Catch... He was strangled to the point that he was about to lose his voice, and he raised his head vigorously and inhaled with his mouth and nose at the same time, but all the breath was stuck in the old man's neck. Listening to the wolf king's words, the half-orc soldiers seemed to react, and rushed towards the old man in unison. There was a ** that smashed his head, and there was someone who broke his arm, and the wolf king seemed to see the hope of life and tried to breathe. But no matter how hard these monsters tried, it was to no avail. This fierce wolf king never thought that he was strangled by an old man until he died.
As soon as the wolf king died, the surrounding orcs had no scruples, and kept shooting at the old man with their guns. They saw that the bullet had entered the old man's body, but the old man still stood and gave them a terrible grin. With a roar, a giant ape stood in the middle of the orc camp, waving his arms and grabbing the orc soldiers who were shooting at him, tearing them all in half. None of the hundreds of orcs in a large battalion escaped from the clutches of the giant ape. Looking at the stumps and severed arms all over the ground, the giant ape roared angrily, turned his head and rushed towards the towering city wall, using his huge body to collapse the city wall of more than ten meters one by one, the people in the city wall screamed and shouted like a flood to rush out of the city, and when they ran past the giant ape in fear, their steps were even more panicked and hurried.
The giant ape looked at the fleeing crowd in a panic with satisfaction, slowly walked towards the city, looked down at the orc soldiers chasing the crowd, and saw a big face blocking their way, several orc soldiers stopped, turned around and fled in panic into the city. The giant ape sneered and looked in the direction of the orc's escape, but when he looked back, he was stunned in place. The ape's body shrunk back into the emaciated man, staring straight at a wall.
The lion had already walked behind Liangsheng with Natasha and Joron and looked in the direction he was staring at, and there was a huge poster on the entire wall that read: "The greatest dancer of the century - wheat ears!"
