Chapter 172: The Natives of Sin
After the three of Francis got out of the car, the escort captain casually slipped a document similar to an order into the hands of a soldier and drove away without looking back, as if he did not want to stay here for a moment.
In addition to the dreary moisture of the forest, there was also a strong smell of blood and the smell of burnt proteins, as if a corner of purgatory had been opened, and chaos and filth had descended on this world as a forerunner.
The smoke choked so much that the three of them couldn't help coughing, but when they saw the cold eyes of the veterans of the Lion's Tooth Battalion around them, they subconsciously held back, and even their breathing slowed down slowly, for fear of disturbing an unknown existence.
This scene clearly reveals what has just happened - a battle has just been experienced. Or, according to the Glorious Front, "outposts in large-scale clashes with forest natives."
The environment of the outpost can be described as extremely rudimentary, a small wooden house made of local materials stands alone on the soft ground, and a "Flying Eagle and Tiger" flag representing the glorious front is planted next to it, indicating that a cutting-edge outpost has been built.
The symbolism of the cabin is more than its practical use, and the dozen or so green tents surrounding the cabin are the real resting place for the soldiers of the Lion's Tooth Battalion. Further beyond are the protective belts made of portable iron fences, which are mostly used to deal with the onslaught of large groups of cavalry, and are also effective against beasts with low intelligence.
At this moment, the iron fence could hardly be left intact, and the suicidal impact of the aborigines twisted it into shape, and it had undergone rounds of baptism in the fierce battle, and only the bullets embedded in it knew its original strength.
The iron fence hung corpses of unrecognizable shapes, flesh and bones glued together with coagulated blood, and had begun to emit a putrid stench that attracted hungry mosquitoes. The ground is also covered with a layer of broken corpses, and it is almost impossible to find a complete body, which is mixed and matched together, which makes people have the absurd illusion of "loving each other".
"Poof-" Perhaps because this tragedy, which was rare in the northern battlefield, stimulated Francis too much, he actually laughed out loud after the ridiculous thought of "loving each other" came to his mind.
The sharp-beaked monkey-gills looked at him with a neurotic gaze, and his expression was indescribably ugly, just the kind of expression that wanted to vomit but could only hold back, combined with his bad-looking face, which made Francis even more unbearable.
The other was silent, he hadn't been involved in any communication along the way, and the other two were about to ignore his presence.
However, there seemed to be an invisible barrier five meters behind the iron fence, dividing the Shura field into two worlds, and although it was full of busy warriors, it was not affected by the war in the slightest, and even the soil was not soaked with blood.
"Hey, you're new here, aren't you!" Just as the three of them stood at a loss, a strong man with a height of two meters walked over, "I'm Iron Hammer Cocos, the deputy commander of the third lion's tooth battalion - ah, we don't have a military rank, and this deputy commander is not officially registered, anyway, the commander gave him a seal." Don't be inhibited, no matter what you have done before, since you are here, you are all brothers, let's go and experience life first-go and move the complete dog mongrel carcass over there to the cargo box of the transport cart next to it, which is an important source of income for us. ”
This strong man with a lot of words was draped in a heavy iron armor that only protected the vital points, and there were already many shallow pits on it, as well as a few grooves that seemed to have been corroded by strong acid, and they were soaked in black blood clots. His exposed body, including his face, was covered in thick body hair, and after the battle, it turned into wisps of skin, and his arms were extremely long and almost knee-high, and he looked like an ape-man who had not fully evolved.
However, although his image was ridiculously rough, the momentum he occasionally revealed showed the rank of the peak of the fifth order, which made Francis and the other three no longer hesitate to each other, and quickly listened to his command and began to work here for his first job.
At this time, Francis and others saw the appearance of the "aborigines" clearly.
This is a thin humanoid, most of them are only 1.5 meters tall, very similar to the rumored "goblins", the green skin is full of wrinkles, and the facial features are a little large, crowded on that flat face, and the messy fangs in the mouth even pierce the lips and cheeks and grow.
Such a look can only be described as "incongruous".
Many aborigines have a hideous look that does not blind their eyes, the orange eyeballs almost fill the entire eye socket, the vertical pupils are cloudy, the remaining "whites of the eyes" are red, and two lines of blood and tears are the signs of all corpses.
Taking advantage of no one noticing, Francis turned his origin power into an energy blade and scratched it on the skin of the aborigines, and found that although its thickness was not high, its toughness and resistance were similar to those of the two or third orders of abilities strengthened by combat defense, and this was when the aborigines were already dead and had no energy to resist.
In addition, there are a few large cats similar to bobcats and lynxes among the aborigines, but their coats are all green, and there are several scales as hard as steel on their foreheads, hearts, and abdomen, which are supposed to be the mounts of the humanoid aborigines.
"This is the most enemy you will encounter in the future, and it is also the easiest to deal with. They don't have a heart or anything like that, they only have brains. The best way for us to deal with them is to cut off their heads one-on-one, and you can cut off their limbs during the scuffle and then slowly wipe them out. These things have good defense, but they have poor balance adaptability, and they are ...... Strange to say, they are able to carry out suicide attacks with a hard time tolerating the pain, and the severe pain can make them unreflexive and incapacitated, so cutting off one of their hands or feet is a temporary abolition of them. ”
Cocos walked around, his hands behind his back like an overseer, observing Francis's small movements indifferently, and giving serious instructions: "Cut along here...... Yes, this is it, so you can see the internal structure without destroying the integrity of the corpse. The above names the intact corpse for research, and the price is not low. It's just because of their ferocity that we all use the method of dismemberment and decapitation, and the intact corpse can only be killed by the commander. ”
"Oh yes!" Cocos suddenly patted his head and exclaimed, "Hurry up and move, I'll take you to the commander when I'm done!"
With that, Cocos began to wander around the camp with his hands behind his back and half of his round.
A grotesque thought suddenly arose in Francis's mind. These must be the regular jobs of that Cocos, right? These newcomers seem to be unconsciously ...... It was arranged by the other party.
