Volume 3 Over the Moon (14)
Suddenly, there were more creatures around them, and the three people in disguise were dragged forward without waiting for the slightest chance to get out.
As they entered the wider main road, more and more aliens gathered around them, and several people completely gave up, and followed the flow to a huge square.
By the time they arrived, the square had already gathered a number of creatures, in addition to the cavemen they had encountered on the battlefield not long ago, and a small number of gnomes.
"When~"
"When~"
"Dang!"
A strong caveman with only a ribbon on his upper body ringed a large jade bell on a high platform in the center of the square, making a crisp sound of two long and one short.
The cavemen in the venue erupted in cheers that resounded through the square. Amid the earth-shattering noise, a troglodyte escorted a dozen sluggish-looking sandmen to the high platform, and then pushed them one by one into the huge pool below the high platform.
The cavemen in the square are crazy! They pushed each other and ran to the pool, scrambling to jump into the pool. Then, a continuous stream of human screams could be heard from the throbbing pool, and the water quickly turned red.
"It'...... They actually eat people! ”
Nangong Qian pointed to a piece of hairy scalp that had been thrown onto the edge of the pool, and she was terrified. In the past, the human beings who dominated the life and death of other animals were now eaten alive and flayed like domestic animals in a planned way, although they were pitted by the leaders of those sand people to this point, but Nangong Qian still felt a sadness in her heart when she saw the tragic situation of the same kind.
"Those cavemen don't just eat people, all mammals are within their prey range"
Because there were no cavemen around, the little gnomes who helped them became emboldened, and they themselves were extremely disgusted with this behavior of the cavemen, but the cavemen insisted that they watch every celebration.
"All mammals?"
"Yes, all mammals!"
The little dwarf gritted his teeth and said:
"In the past, there were more than a dozen races in West Kunlun, but now we can only be dwarfs and cavemen!"
"Ah~! They even prey on their companions? ”
The little dwarf nodded bitterly.
"Cavemen were originally sea creatures, forcibly modified into amphibians by the giants through genetic technology, but they lacked the genetic fragments in their bodies to support their long-term life on land, and could only sustain their bodies by ingesting the complete gene chain of mammals. Otherwise, their nerve cells will slowly shrink under the cautery of the air, first they will become furious and irritable, and then their eyes will deteriorate, becoming unable to receive the spectrum and no longer able to interpret the image; The lungs will also mutate and no longer be able to filter the air they breathe into their bodies, which will further deteriorate their nerves and eventually make them monsters that only know how to follow their instincts. ”
Saying so much in one breath made the dwarf a little short of breath, he paused for a moment to adjust his breathing, and then said:
"You must have met cavemen who had lost their minds when you came in, right? Those who only know what to eat no longer deserve to be called intelligent creatures! So, except for those cavemen who can stay in the water all day long, they have to hunt for what they need to survive. ”
The dwarf's face turned pale when he spoke of those beasts, and most of the intelligent individuals must have instinctively revulled the transformation into that kind of appearance.
After the dwarf's explanation, Will understood the reason why those cavemen ate humans. In the same way that cats need to eat mice to ensure their ability to have glimmer night vision in the dark, cavemen eat humans only to avoid their own nervous atrophy, and they don't necessarily have to be human.
On the other hand, the act of human beings skinning and cramping the protozoa of the earth in order to satisfy their own desires is indeed extremely cruel, and what these cavemen are doing now is only a replica of what humans did to those poor animals, and they are more subtle than humans.
"Well, I don't know why you're in such a dangerous place until now, can you explain it to me?
The men consulted with each other, and decided to be honest with the little man who had helped them, and to see if he could come up with anything about it.
"What!! You're going to wipe out the trocavemen of the entire West Kunlun? ”
The little dwarf who felt the incredulity widened his eyes:
"Do you know that there are thousands of cavemen in this West Kunlun base, they have perfect armaments, and almost perfect logistics supplies, just a few of you are simply mayflies to shake the pillar."
In the face of the dwarf's merciless scolding, Will and they could only smile bitterly. Ever since the first cavemen with weapons appeared, Will had realized that he had fallen into the old sandman's trap, and now he no longer had the luxury of completing his mission.
"However, it is not impossible to get the Medal of Honor."
Hearing that things were still turning around, several people nailed their eyes to the dwarf's body again.
"As the powerful weapon of the Giant Clan, Harry, the caveman leader of this base, has also followed the Giant Clan in the north and south for a long time. In recognition of his bravery and loyalty, the Giants awarded him a medal. But Harry is very strong, and I'm afraid you'll die at his hands. ”
A few people discussed it and decided to take a risk.
They have no other way out!
Five days have passed, and if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that I will only be able to collect Liu Yuxin's body in time.
With the help of the gnomes, they came to the caveman commander's quarters. Because most of the cavemen are still partying, there are no guards or patrols around the dwellings. A few people sneaked inside, only to find the troglodyte commander sitting in the middle of the hall waiting for them!
The people who wanted to sneak in and act on the opportunity simply put on a fighting posture and prepared for the upcoming fight.
"I knew you were going to come to me, don't get excited, maybe we can talk."
"How did you find out where we were?"
The other party had the initiative all along, and for the first time, Will felt a complete failure.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The majestic commander standing face to face with them slapped his palms three times, and a human was escorted in by several cavemen.
"Zhang Hong!"
A fire erupted in Will's eyes.
Zhang Hong smiled bitterly:
"If I say I haven't said a word, do you believe me?"
"He really didn't say anything"
The commander waved his soldiers down:
"You guys are underestimating our technology! As a base dedicated to the military, there is a way to peek into the secrets of their hearts. Ever since I knew that your goal was the Medal of Honor, I knew you would find it eventually. ”
Will understood what the caveman commander meant, and knowing their intentions, it was easy for the other party to think that they would hit him with the idea, after all, it was not realistic to wipe out the entire base legion.
"So why did you come here to meet us? It's not to wait here to laugh at our ignorance, is it? ”
Will simply let go completely, and the little gnome said that the commander had won the admiration of the giants, which was not the glory of a barbarian who could only go on a rampage.
In fact, he should have been more vigilant at that time, and being able to survive countless battles and be entrusted with important tasks by the Giant Clan shows that this commander is not a simple-minded general.
"I want you to help my people solve their current predicament."
Commander Harry's words surprised everyone present, and they could not have imagined that the other party was making such a request.
"You may think we're cruel and savage, but it's nothing compared to your previous acts of mutilating animals for the sake of your appetite."
Harry laughed back at the humans standing in the hall, but Will couldn't argue with that.
"In order to survive the afternoon, we had to exhaust all means, but we would prefer to be able to suppress it by other means. I scanned their memories and learned that the two of them are important members of the two top forces in the surface world, with great strength and abundant resources, and I hope that you will find the means of production of our inhibitors in the mothership and equip us with a sufficient number of physical objects. ”
After Commander Harry finished speaking, he took out a piece of jade slip from his pocket, put it on the table in front of Will, and spread his hands:
"Most of the world's fights are due to lack of good communication, see? Your problem is gone, and my problem will be solved. ”
"You just handed us the Medal of Honor?"
This unexpected unfolding left Will stunned.
"That thing might be important to you"
Harry paused, as if to consider how the wording would not cause misunderstanding, after all, the conversation between them was separated by a layer of translation:
"But for me, it's just a commemorative medal! Of course, if the mothership hadn't been destroyed by a surprise attack, that's another story. ”
"Are you sure the mothership has been destroyed?"
"This conclusion is obvious, you technophiles just don't like to analyze problems in depth, and only look at the surface. It's like the rules for watching the festival, which is clearly for your safety, but you see it as a bad government. ”
The little dwarf stopped talking, and just now he lost his voice because he knew that the prayer he had been looking forward to day and night had been ruthlessly shattered by the other party, and he was not prepared to argue with the person he thought he could not communicate.
You can keep us from having our voices heard, but we won't agree with your ridiculous ideas. Forcibly let a vegetarian group watch the bloody dismemberment, and say it's for their good?
"Let's go on"
Harry didn't mean to talk to the little gnomes anymore, but turned his attention back to Will and them:
"The loss of contact with the Kunpeng and the long-term absence of the mothership indicate that the mothership is likely to have been devastated, and it can no longer operate the related equipment in it, so the base has been left alone for tens of thousands of years, and the leakage has not even been dealt with, so that the entire base is on the verge of collapse. If there was the slightest possibility, the consuls would not allow things to go this way."
Commander Harry said that the incident was not clear and difficult to ask, but at least one thing was clear to the other party, that is: the mothership is dangerous!
