In the gray sky, a flock of black jays flew through the forest, and their unpleasant chirping made the surrounding fog even more distorted.

"Those are the people from the Leison Company." Gu Jun's voice was low, "I recognize it, they are dressed like this in my memory." ”

In fact, those figures were blurred by the fog, and it didn't seem to be a long coat, but he just recognized it.

Xue Ba and the others were already preparing to fight, except for Lou Xiaoning, who couldn't hold a gun, the muzzles of the firefighters were aimed at those enemy shadows in all directions, but the fog became bigger and bigger, and those figures disappeared behind the giant tree and became invisible.

"I can't see the ......" Yang Henan, who quickly set up the sniper rifle, gasped, and the thermal imaging sight could not penetrate the gloomy giant tree.

Everyone was still gasping, and the roar of the beast was getting more and more hideous.

Gu Jun saw that some of the heavy beast shadows gradually came out of the fog, and now they could all see clearly, it was a creature that did not know whether it was an alien or a beast, it seemed to be the body of a wolf, but each one had the size of a brown bear, the fur was like a black thorn, and the exposed fangs and dripping drooping fluid were even more chilling.

Before Xue Ba could shout any words for negotiation, suddenly, the surrounding alien wolves were surging, everywhere, endlessly.

"Fireteam fire!" Xue Ba immediately said, Thick Hufang's face was full of fortitude, "Stay with the others, don't waste ammunition." ”

Zhou Yi, Gao Mingpeng and others pulled the trigger of the rifle, and there were two team members in each of the four directions, and they all opened fire.

Bullet casings clattered to the altar, the most trusted and relied upon weapon of humanity sparkling with fire, and the recoil churned at their muscles, causing their already exhausted bodies to burst open and fall apart into a pile of fragments.

The beasts didn't know what fear was, and even though those who rushed in front were splattered with bullets, those behind were still rushing at them.

The death-threatening howls and the foul smell of blood only fueled the madness of the wolves, which rushed faster and more like the tide of a storm.

"Ah......" Lou Xiaoning made an anxious voice.

Uncle Dan is responsible for keeping an eye on her. This beast has thick skin and thick flesh, and a single shot in the body cannot knock it down, and it must be shot in the head.

But their speed is high, and their condition is poor, and a headshot with a gun is impossible. As the firepower leader of the team, Lou Xiaoning's hit rate has long been the first place. If she is still a normal person, she can only stand aside and watch at this time, very breathless.

Lin Mo and several other members of the scientific research team were more and more incredulous, from the giant tree in the distance to the altar, the corpse of the beast that had fallen to the ground.

Won't they be afraid? This is really against natural nature......

But what Gu Jun was thinking was, were they real?

Xue Ba was also suspicious of this, and immediately asked his partner Zhou Yi to let a strange wolf enter the altar, and then hit it with a headshot. The two of them walked forward while firing, and kicked the beast corpse on the altar with their feet, which did exist there, and it was not an illusion.

However, the tide of the alien wolves had not yet weakened, and their ammunition was almost half removed, and the bullets would soon run out if they continued like this.

"Prepare to break out!" Xue Ba told everyone loudly, and asked Gu Jun's thoughts: "Which side should I go to?" ”

"I don't know......" Gu Jun really didn't have any ideas, and his mind was only a little restless.

Xue Ba relied on his own feelings and decided to choose the opposite direction to break through the high-wall space, Lin Mo got on a stretcher and was carried by Gu Jun and Zhang Huogang.

At that moment, they were killing the wolf and walking outside the altar.

But at this time, a strange voice came from the fog, it seemed that those people in the Laisheng company were reading a different language, and it seemed to be singing...... Hazy, but it can penetrate everyone's hearts. Gu Jun's agitation and dizziness became even heavier, and he muttered, "This seems to be ...... The ballad of this world ......"

[It was dark and silent in the stone road, that was the beginning of life

In my mother's dream, poisonous snakes, worms, and demons appeared

From morning till night, there was a lot of pain]

"How ......" The team walked dozens of steps, this distance was long enough to walk out of the altar, but they were surprised to find that they were still in place, it seemed that they had circled, but they were obviously walking outside.

The bullets can shoot out and the beasts can run in, it shouldn't be because of the space, it's because their spirit is affected.

Suddenly, they couldn't even find their way back to the spiral stone staircase.

It's like knowing that you're dreaming in a dream, and thinking you've woken up is just another dream.

At this time, everyone realized that the lack of the team was also the deficiency of the Heavenly Machine Bureau.

When faced with the anomalous power that is controlled to cast, they don't have a lot of tricks.

"It's those songs!" Xue Ba shouted loudly, trying to break the confusion of himself and the others, "Concentrate and abandon distracting thoughts, don't listen!" ”

They don't understand what it means, but they can feel the confusion of their minds, and it's not so easy to think about it......

Whether it was because of high gnosis or because he could understand the meaning, Gu Jun was the one who heard the most, and there were already some visions flickering in front of him.

The ballad grew louder and more intriguing......

[Nightmares grow every day, waiting to break out of the earth.]

Every day, my mother wondered if it was a young creature or a ghoul living in her womb

She sometimes thought sadly

Life is born without suffering

She sometimes thinks quietly

The birth of life is inseparable from suffering]

"The birth of life is inseparable from ......pain," Gu Jun muttered softly, and suddenly, those chaotic visions became clearly visible.

It wasn't an illusion, it seemed that some memories he had been born with were revived in front of him.

This altar ...... Gu Jun remembered that this was the place where the foreign literati held their coming-of-age ceremony.

The stone passage from Hawk City to the altar, the stone chamber, and the whirling stone staircase are all part of the ceremony.

Unlike the human civilization on Earth, which likes to build the Tower of Babel to get close to the gods, the Xenolites believe that Mother Earth (the goddess of life) nourishes everything.

To walk the stone path is to go deep into the ground first, to enter the stone room is to return to the place that symbolizes the mother's life, and to climb the spiral stone staircase is the process of birth. Spiral stone stairs are not allowed to go down from the top, only from the bottom up. Pushing the altar open is also part of the ritual, like a new life being squeezed out.

Including the crumbling stone staircase above it, which is about to break is also the original design of the building.

Because the mother is also at great risk when giving birth, the birth of a new life is also a kind of harm to the mother.

This ballad was sung by groups of young girls who had just come of age when they participated in the ceremony......

"But why do I know this?" Gu Jun fell into a daze, "Why do I seem to have personally participated...... Was it when you were a child? ”

The roar of the beast, the thud of the team's guns, and the sound of singing in the fog mingled into an eerie sound.

Suddenly, there was a cold and inducing call that Xue Ba and Uncle Dan could also understand:

"Gu Jun, open your eyes, look around, open your eyes!"

This call hit Gu Jun's heart like a heavy hammer......

At the same time, with this call, the figures of those men in black appeared in the fog around the altar, coming together from different directions.

Several snipers immediately opened fire on them, but the bullet only passed through the figure, and no screams rang out, was it just a twisted phantom......

The tide of beasts was still surging, but they didn't seem to pay attention to those black-clad figures. Xue Ba, Zhou Yi and the others all frowned, the automatic rifle bullets of the squad had run out, and they had already taken guns like Gu Jun's submachine gun to use, but the ammunition was getting less and less.

"Gu Jun, open your eyes, look around, and see what you really are."

The figures of the black-clothed men walked out of the fog from all directions and approached the altar.

It was also at this time that Xue Ba and the others were stunned to see that these people all had the same face.
