Volume II: The Federation, Chapter XXIII, Feeding
The thorn was like lightning, like a bowstring that ejected out, and it was quickly withdrawn, making everyone's hair stand on end.
Immediately after, three more claws stretched out from the gap in the cage workshop, respectively inserted into the man's knees, arms, and forehead, accompanied by a piercing scream, the four claws opened, and the corpse immediately clicked open, in just a few seconds, only the cold-faced girl dared to rush over with an iron rod to try to save people, but fortunately Liu Liu and the other boys grabbed her.
Everywhere you look, there is blood everywhere, sticky as paint.
The man's curled up body was bloodied on one of the slightly folded paws that pierced his forehead, his pale and godless head staring at the sky, his breath gone, his intestines spilled on the ground, mixed with dirt and crumpled together, and he was disgusted. The rest of his limbs were delicately fed into the jagged jaws of the eight-clawed white spider, and the gurgling sound of bone fragments chewing and rubbing made his stomach churn even more.
Screaming was everywhere, and crying and fleeing became the main theme on the field.
Tianxia looked at the white spider in place, but she didn't know what to say in her heart, she only felt her stomach churning, and a disgusting feeling rushed to her mind.
She had seen how the white spider ate people, but in this training ground, surrounded by soldiers, there were still people who were dismembered, and the most disgusting thing for her was why it was so fast, so dexterous, and its eight limbs and legs, and so deadly, just a few seconds, a living man was dismembered. They are stupid enough to fight such a monster, what can they be if they are not stupid?
Sergeant Luna whistled, and the soldiers who did not flee subconsciously approached her, but even so, the scene was extremely chaotic, some people were screaming, some people were shouting, and some people were telling the instructor something, until a gunshot attracted everyone's attention, and the order gradually calmed down.
"Go back to your own team," Instructor Luna yelled, "those who forget their team can pack up and get out of here, and those who are scared can go." ”
Tianxia and the rest of the team reunited, and indeed some people left, and after yesterday's test, another part left.
Luna walked past the rows of soldiers, "The next time you encounter this situation, I hope you can restore order sooner, otherwise, by that time, it will be your turn to become a monster's ration." ”
The soldier was silent, but Luna didn't care, "I said I wanted to show you something interesting, and I'm very pleased, there really is a fool who put on a show for us big guys, now, applaud him," Luna took the lead and clapped her hands.
Others were more silent.
Until yesterday, the boy who proudly claimed that he had discovered the secret of the cage car----- Tianxia vaguely remembered that his name was Zhao Xiaoxiao, he stepped forward and was slightly excited, "Instructor Luna, you should warn us in advance, it has claws, it is not the one from yesterday at all, we should not be dead." ”
"Shall I warn you that you have long eyes? We're dying every day," Luna roared back, "not one, not two, millions, tens of millions, have you forgotten where we are now, we're at war, not kids, kids don't try to save the world, he should go home and hold his mother's tits instead of here arguing about what we should do, what we shouldn't do." And ......" Luna Senran pointed to the white spider in the distance and roared, "Little rabbit, did you see that standing sign, tell me, what is written on it??" ”
Zhao Xiaoxiao lowered his head.
"Tell me," Luna snapped.
He hung his head and whispered, "Don't cross the cordon, or you will bear the consequences." ”
"I won't go into too much detail about how much discipline a soldier values, but he is an example. Of course, I let you watch this killing, not just how this fool died," Instructor Luna suddenly walked ahead, "Now, we're going to see how it feeds, everyone, line up, come with me, if you don't want to come, you can take off your military uniform and get out." Soon, two more left, and Liu Liu and the coward didn't go, which surprised Tianxia a little.
“......“
It's a beautiful thing to watch a pleasing person eat, but watching a white spider eat its own kind makes people feel nothing but loss and disgust. I don't know if this is a bad taste method that Instructor Luna came up with, or if the other commanders have figured out the evil taste method, in short, half of the recruits present are retching, and most of the others are pale, once upon a time, they were all eating all kinds of animals, since entering the interstellar age, except for some ancient space species and other intelligent creatures hidden in the center of the galaxy, there are no animals that can affect their pace of expansion. For many years, wars have broken out between human beings and between other intelligent human beings.
Take the Earth Federation, for example.
In most parts of the Federation, the most murderous of human beings is their own kindred, followed by their own neighboring races, and these neighboring races, in more ancient times, are also relatives.
But for the first time, there were alien species that threatened humans, and this feeling naturally made them feel a kind of suppressed loss, since they entered the beginning of civilization, since they overrode the biological chain with intelligence, they were the first time that they were slaughtered on a large scale by such creatures with no ability to hunt and no civilization to speak of.
Everyone watched in silence as the white spider ate, as it dismantled the soldier into pieces, as it sliced through that thigh with its jagged teeth, as it bit crushed its bloody skull, how it swallowed his soft nose, his fat lips, and his almost absent jaw.
Some people wanted to turn around, and Luna told him, "Keep coming at night when you don't dare to look, sleep with our baby for the night, with our sweet little fat man," and everyone forced themselves not to turn their heads.
While it was eating, Luna began to tell stories about her encounter with the cutie.
"It happened not so long ago, on the first day of the chaos....... When we first found it, it was to reclaim the heart of the capital, and this guy was caught by our men with a decoy net and sent back for experiments. At that time, we learned that the members of the Earth Federation Council were in the council hall, and the people above asked us to go to the rescue of those high-ranking officials, so we dispatched armored vehicles, tanks, heavily armed land jeeps, and many other high-level gadgets of the Empire, such as Nighthawk unmanned sentinels, banshee bombers, Ranger fighters, controllable guided city missiles, low-altitude hovering armored vehicles, and even space-based railguns. It's a pity that whether it is a controllable guided city missile, an unmanned sentry, a bomber, a Ranger fighter or a low-altitude hovering armored vehicle, it is not available, and even the extremely rare CMC series of electronic auxiliary power armor provided by the Imperial Ordnance will make a difference, because it can still operate when we set off, but in the vicinity of the beam, it doesn't take a few steps, they are all scrapped, and the space-based railgun "Hand of God" that cost hundreds of billions of federal coins to build I couldn't get in touch at the beginning of the apocalypse, so I fucked the "Hand of God", which should be called "God's urinal".
We didn't know beforehand at all, we just thought it would be good not to go near the sky, remember, the second lesson, don't use these things near the beam, this is a fatal mistake we made. But the absence of these trendy stuff doesn't mean we don't have the strength to fight. Heavy armored vehicles could still work, tanks, jeeps and shoulder-fired small missiles could be used, so we were still full of confidence, and there were many of my comrades-in-arms who went with us, and they all went, including me. ”
"The war happened very quickly, and it ended surprisingly, and countless of these things have their shadows from the tall buildings overhead, from the underground waterways, from the houses, everywhere the naked eye can see," Luna took out a cigarette out of nowhere and lit it leisurely, "We fought very well at the beginning, no matter how hard those guys are, they can't be damn missiles, we burn them, blow them up, tear them up, let them die, the battle line is solid, expanding, the soldiers are marching forward, Until the surviving evacuees found out about us......."
Through the mist of the cigarette in her mouth, she seemed to see the scene again, "One evacuee, two, three, more and more they hide behind us and pray for help, who can not help them?" The families of the soldiers at the military base are here, and the nearby area is the family building of the soldiers at the Changhe Military Base, and the purpose of our entry into the city is to rescue the trapped evacuees. There was a soldier who found his mother who had just run away, a little girl was calling Daddy to one of our hapless ones, and an old man ......." she stopped, "and we took them in anyway, and that's where all the rout began." ”
"The monster still crawled methodically from place to place, weaving through cracks in the collapsed walls of the ground, and behind them, one of the survivors, maybe ten, maybe a hundred, or more.
They didn't know that their bodies had been infected by the sarcoma-like thing on the ground, a woman went crazy, his son saw this, he still got down and hugged his mother, there was one soldier missing, his comrades were under a little more pressure, no problem, ten soldiers were missing, the pressure was also great, but no problem, we continued to persevere, waiting for more people to escape under our cover.
Until ........," she paused and said lightly, "until the people we were going to defend to the death attacked us, watched our relatives attack us, watched our mothers attack us, watched our daughters attack us, watched our wives attack us, and finally, even if the commander strictly forbade them to act rashly, there were still some soldiers who loved their loved ones and tried to stop us, not with guns, but with hands, with hands....... Hehehe, these idiots....... I've wondered countless times, are they doing it wrong? I can't come to their wrong conclusions, but I hope that you will come up with your answer as soon as possible, or it will be your turn next time......"
Her tone was unusually cold and unfluctuating, but it could give people a creepy feeling, and they didn't even dare to gasp easily.
"The story continues," she declared in a loud voice, "those soldiers who did not find their relatives felt bad, for fear of being infected, so they stayed away from them, one was bitten by their own relatives, some soldiers tried to stop it, and then more people began to be in a similar situation, and the other soldiers saw this, and immediately lost their courage, they did not know what they should do, the purpose of their trip was to protect the evacuation of these evacuees behind them, but now, the chaos made them crazy, and monsters kept coming up, like tireless machines, Some of the soldiers became deserters, fearing that this would happen to their relatives elsewhere.
They ignored the orders of their superiors, stayed away from their troops and comrades, you know, they were the most elite Union Marines, but in less than twenty minutes, twenty minutes, it was my duty to fuck obey orders, fuck the elite field troops of the Federation, fuck the ace armored units, fuck the special rescue specialists, and soon, the front completely collapsed...... The hard-fought defenses collapsed, and the monsters leaped into our defenses to fight, easily tearing apart our soldiers, and we sacrificed more than fifty men to escort the cutie and other captured monsters, and finally pulled them back from the center of the capital. “
A fool innocently asked, "Why, didn't you go to kill them?" Why sacrifice fifty or so people to protect it? “
Luna smiled, "Because Cutie is so cute, how can we bear to hurt it?" Stand up, little fool, soldier, run me around the training ground ten times, use your brains by the way, shut your cute little mouth and go in peace, lest I change my mind and let you clean up the corpse of this unfortunate bastard. “
The little innocent face was full of resentment, but he still obeyed Luna's words, he didn't want to take back the last scrap of meat from his companion's mouth. To be honest, Tianxia would rather run ten laps on the track than watch the white spider eat here, maybe it's not the little boy who is stupid, but these bystanders who think they are smart.
"In the end," Luna concluded, "the experts analyzed that in the center of the capital, near the beam of light, the electronic devices would be scrapped, and the infected would worsen, and they would become even crazier, and those old men gave a useless advice, stay away from the beam, and they said that the infection would be slower, and when we heard it, we were all moved to cry, and I cried anyway." But...... But...... My dear gentlemen and ladies, let me remember that no one is infected and still intact, and at some point they will inevitably become the mother of monsters," she paused for a moment, and when all the recruits had focused their eyes on her, she smiled smugly and wickedly, "Soon, we will have you try to kill those who are infected, and it would be even better if there were your father and mother in there, for I am determined to let you send them away with your own hands." “
