Chapter 308: Factory
The trees on both sides began to grow again, but instead of green leaves, the trunks were shiny with purple halos, reflecting on the ground or rocks next to them, making the whole scene look a little dreamy.
Compared to the previous sections, the road here is actually not so rough, a bit like a muddy road in the countryside, although there are occasionally potholes, but it can be considered a 'road' in general.
"Do you know what we're like right now?" Wade, who was walking beside Ryan, said suddenly.
"What do you think?" Ryan asked casually.
"Like a superhero."
"Are you sure?"
Ryan glanced at him, the blood on his clothes had not yet dried, and he left a bloody path behind him along the way,
Just this look,
Superheroes?
"Well, didn't you notice? Only superheroes will know that there is a pit in front of them, and they will jump into it. ”
“......”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward,
Even Loki, who was obviously a little sneaky in the back, was a meal.
however
That's when
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang in front of him, and then the ground began to shake violently, and then, about a dozen meters in front of Ryan, it collapsed directly, not like a landslide, but like a collapse formed after the ground was hollowed out.
Ryan stopped, his face unchanged, and said calmly:
"Look, there's a pit ahead, but didn't we stop?"
"Buzz."
A thick purple mist began to diffuse from the collapse in front of it, as if someone was burning wood below, but the smoke looked a little weird.
It was almost two or three breaths before the purple mist completely enveloped the surroundings.
Ryan first subconsciously held his breath,
However, Wade, who was next to him, took a few big breaths, and at the same time turned his head to Ryan and said:
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous, smell it carefully, and it's still a little fragrant."
"Are you sure?"
Ryan still didn't start breathing, but turned to look at Loki behind him, and only took a big breath after seeing the slight heaving of his chest.
"Whew."
The smell is really a little sweet, a bit like the smell of marshmallows, and with some dreamy purple around it, if someone who doesn't know it comes, you might think that this is some kind of amusement park.
"What is this smoke?"
Loki asked, clutching the dagger tightly in both hands.
"Who knows?"
Ryan glanced thoughtfully at Yuumi, then took a few steps forward to the edge of the collapse,
Looking down, it was dark, and I don't know how deep this collapse was, but it wasn't very wide, that is, five or six meters away.
After a little thrust, Ryan came to the other side.
There is no imaginary poison gas,
There was no imaginary attack,
Not even a decent Void creature came out to greet them, and the surroundings were still purple, quiet, as quiet as a room at night after the lights had been turned off.
"Have you ever seen anything like this?"
Ryan asked Yuumi who had just jumped over.
"Yes."
Yuumi's eyes flashed,
"This purple smoke is a way for the void to 'corrode' creatures, and many humans on the Valoran continent are because they have absorbed this smoke, and then they are directly assimilated by the void."
"Tsk."
Ryan pouted,
Squinting his eyes and wandering around,
"They're going to assimilate me this way?"
The surrounding scene is indeed dreamy, and the purple smoke in the air is indeed sweet.
But
That's it?
Just rely on this way of coaxing children to assimilate themselves?
"It's kind of weird."
Yuumi lowered his head and said,
In fact, it can only speculate on the effect through phenomena, anyway, in the course of the struggle between the Void and Valoran, the consequence of the appearance of this smoke is that there will be traitors in its own team.
As for how the Void creatures used this method to achieve assimilation, it was really unclear, and the group of assimilated people obviously wouldn't sit down and talk to it about what they had been through.
Everything can only be guessed.
"Could it be that this is also the reason for the payment of protection money?"
Ryan muttered,
Then
Didn't stay where I was and continue to struggle.
Instead, he looked at the road behind him,
waved and said:
"Let's go, let's go ahead and see."
It's like an adventure game, telling them the direction and location, and at the same time, it can be regarded as explaining the possible dangers in this trip through the story mission, as for when the danger will occur,
this
It's up to you to explore and discover on your own.
After walking for about ten minutes, Ryan at the front stopped behind a tree again.
Because the trees here are extra thick, they have almost no end of shelter.
And farther away from the trunk, there was a large slope, almost seventy or eighty degrees, almost indistinguishable from the vertical.
Below the slope is a basin-like terrain, and at this time, a lot of 'garbage' made by the void creatures I have seen before have gathered on the basin, and the area is crowded on a flat land that is not very wide.
Far away, Ryan could even smell the stench from there.
"Is this their factory?"
If the previous mechanical monsters and flesh-and-blood bonded 'giants' could only be regarded as tool men, then this should be the factory where the void creatures produce tool people.
"He's definitely here."
Yuumi said solemnly.
Unlike the 'Praying Mantis' I've seen before, although the 'Praying Mantis' is also a real Void Hero, it is actually more inclined to a beast with intelligence, and even if it is powerful, it is only powerful in pure strength.
Like lions and elephants, they do have the strength and physique to crush humans, but what?
Eventually, they fell to humans who were much weaker than them.
If the Void really only had this kind of existence, although the Valoran Continent would suffer heavy losses, it would not be completely destroyed at all.
In the final analysis, it is because there are traitors among the human race, after all, only human beings know human beings better, and only human beings know how to make human beings completely perish.
"Destroy it." Loki, who had been silent, suddenly said, he looked at the dense group of monsters below, and felt that his scalp was a little numb.
These monsters are not strong, but there are a lot of them, and if this is really a factory, if they can be mass-produced, it means that their numbers will continue to expand.
"I think so." Ryan nodded, after all, he didn't want to have to spare his energy to deal with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the later actions.
"But how do we do it?" Wade asked, holding his katana.
Although the 'factory' is relatively small, it is the size of a few football fields, and they don't have any bombs or anything like that.
"Remember the pit that just appeared in front of you?"
Ryan said with a smile.
