Chapter 164: The Harpy
In a foggy world.
Far away in the northeast of He Shusen's country, a group of more than ten people were constantly searching for survivors in the world under the shaking of the earth's leylines.
A few minutes later.
"What the hell is wrong with this world!"
"Damn!"
A soldier in a former Union uniform was found in a place with a severed arm underneath a boulder, and after a somewhat uncontrollable punch hit the boulder, letting out a roar of rage.
"Okay, don't complain, what else can we do now? Compared to the power of heaven and earth, we human beings are really too small. ”
Su Zitao, a middle-aged soldier who led the team, comforted the soldiers beside him, and then looked around at the thick white foggy world around him with a complicated expression.
"Since I was sent out, then my task is to find and gather more survivors on the premise of self-preservation, and abandon it as soon as possible."
"It's all for the future of humanity."
Everyone is well aware of the plight of humanity today.
In this ever-growing foggy world, Kyoto Base City is not as lucky as Hoki's Mori no Kuni.
Half of the base city's massive base, which was underground, collapsed in this sudden leyline change.
This led directly to the deaths of nearly three million people, and more than 60 percent of those who survived were taken by the leylines of yesterday and today.
You must know that in the past ten years, the population of Kyoto Base City has exceeded 10 million after collecting survivors from the entire northeast and nearby provinces in the southeast.
However, this time the water blue star accident caused the hopeful leadership of Kyoto to collapse directly.
The shifting leylines have caused the government that existed in Kyoto to collapse again, and it is almost impossible to rebuild.
As a result, the last form of government of the Great Xia Federation fell into complete disintegration.
At this time, the soldiers who were scattered and discharged were just the last to receive the final order from the people above.
Their mission is to find and protect the surviving humans.
At the same time, each of them found a way to establish a new human gathering place in order to preserve the fire for the Bactrian humans.
There are a lot of psionic soldiers who were urgently dispersed and dispatched this time, in short, in the eyes of some of the above people, as long as one team succeeds, then the Great Xia human race will not be destroyed.
This is a kind of sorrow and a kind of prayer.
——————。
The leylines were still pulsating and shaking, and the team was moving aimlessly after the heaviness they had just experienced.
It's really hard to walk on the pulsating ground, but luckily this team is psionics, so they won't fall flat or be overturned by the ground that suddenly rises.
In short, walking on the ground at this time is almost tantamount to stepping on a constantly bouncing water ball, and in this environment, grass and plants are constantly growing on the extra land and soil.
Except for flying creatures, land or sea creatures at this moment are no less than in a rocking cradle, and that doesn't feel good.
There are a total of sixteen members in this team, most of whom are E-rank pinnacles, while three are D-rank.
It's not strong, but it's barely able to protect itself.
The fog was really too thick, so thick that the team's field of vision would not exceed two meters.
And even under such harsh conditions, this team still did not stop and drifted with the leylines.
About two hours later.
While the team was still searching for the humans who had disappeared into the fog yesterday, one of the soldiers suddenly looked to the other side and shouted.
"Captain, look, the land over there doesn't seem to be moving."
The soldier had also seen it by accident, after all, the fog was so thick that he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't approached it with a suspicious attitude.
With the soldier's shout, Su Zitao, the leader of the team, suddenly jumped up and went to the side of the soldier about five meters to the left.
Following the direction of the soldier's finger, Su Zitao looked at it.
In the thick fog, the shadows of countless trees appeared in his eyes.
If he usually saw these trees, Su Zitao wouldn't have cared about it, but now.
The fact that the trees didn't move at all is a big problem.
"Sure enough, there is no tendency to move."
Su Zitao looked overjoyed.
At this time, other team members had already gathered.
"Really!"
"It's just wonderful."
"yes, let's not talk about the people we can't find, we can finally get some rest."
“........。”
In the joy of everyone, one person immediately proposed to Su Zitao.
"Captain, why don't we take a look, and by the way, how about you fix it?"
Su Zitao smiled, and immediately turned to the proposed soldier and said:
"Hmm."
"Now that we've found it, we're sure to take a look, and if the land hasn't been touched, there's a good chance we'll find survivors."
After that, Su Zitao shouted to all the team members:
"Everyone come with me, remember to be careful."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Most of the soldiers immediately accepted the order with a smile on their faces.
And it was precisely because of this that a group of people suddenly began to follow Su Zitao's strides and began to rush into the seemingly unmoved land in front of them.
"It's really not moving."
When Su Zitao's feet landed, he immediately felt the calm of the ground here.
Although there was still a sound of earth pulsations all around, the ground did not have any tendency to move.
Moreover, on the side of the ground, Su Zitao also clearly saw the boundary line.
Beyond the boundary, the leylines are constantly moving and undulating, while within the boundary, they only tremble slightly, but do not rise and fall.
Although I don't know the reason, Su Zitao and the others were really relieved at this time.
While the other team members were rejoicing, Su Zitao observed the environment here.
Here, the fog fades a bit, and visibility is about five meters.
It is surrounded by evergreen green trees, and there are half-human-tall weeds underground, so it looks lush and beautiful.
In the end, after making sure that no large mutant creatures were found around, Su Zitao looked at the people who were obviously a little happy:
"Let's rest and prepare in place, let's have a meal by the way, and we'll explore this place in twenty minutes."
"Yes!"
"Okay."
"Captain Xie!"
As soon as they heard that they could rest, most of them immediately responded cheerfully.
Although the current situation of mankind is very bad, the atmosphere of compassion is not what these soldiers should have.
Be optimistic and positive, and choose to believe that tomorrow is the attitude that human soldiers should have in the last days.
After watching everyone sit on the ground and start to take out military fast food to prepare for the meal, Su Zitao turned around with a slight smile.
With a slight jump, Su Zitao jumped directly onto the branch of a tree on the side, and began to act as a sentry for the team.
However, after jumping up the tree, he sat down on the branch as well, and then took out the instant jerky in his backpack to eat.
Tearing open the packaging of instant food, Su Zitao began to eat jerky, and at the same time did not forget to look around vigilantly.
However, after looking at it for a while, Su Zitao did not find any mutated creatures.
"It's pretty quiet here."
Su Zitao smiled.
However, after he said this sentence unintentionally, the expression on Su Zitao's face suddenly changed.
"Quiet!"
"That's not right! It stands to reason that this is a territory that has never been moved, not to mention humans, mutated creatures should always come here to take refuge or rest, right? But........ ”
Su Zitao looked around with a nervous face, and then swallowed the dried meat in his mouth suddenly, and at the same time, he immediately jumped off the branch with a solemn face.
At this moment, Su Zitao, who jumped off the branch, did not speak anymore, but came to the place where everyone was resting and gestured to all the soldiers to signal them to be quiet, and at the same time lowered his voice and told all the team members what he had found.
And after hearing Su Zitao's analysis, everyone immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
The soldiers who had originally relaxed suddenly quickly put away their things at this moment, and crouched down and gathered around Su Zitao.
"Captain, what are we going to do next?" A soldier asked.
Su Zitao frowned and groaned slightly for a moment.
"Now that we've found this place, we're sure we'll continue to explore, or at least we'll have to determine why there's no life here."
"It's probably very likely that we'll encounter higher-order mutated creatures, or something, but it's important that we determine why."
"After all, this is the only place we managed to find where we can build a gathering place, so it's hard to give up without knowing what's going on."
Su Zitao's words were very reasonable, and most of them nodded in agreement.
"People die and birds are facing the sky, captain, you can give orders, we will listen to you."
"That's right! Now we have nothing to fear, the big deal is death, and I have had enough of this world. ”
"Yes!"
“.......。”
Listening to everyone's answers, Su Zitao was very pleased.
As long as the military soul is not destroyed, then they will always be soldiers of the Great Xia Federation, and they will never die.
"Okay, since you've all made your choice, I'll give the order."
After saying that, Su Zitao immediately gave an order in a condensed voice.
That is, to continue to walk cautiously towards the interior of the forest and to probe the forest.
After the order was issued, everyone did not continue to grind, but followed Su Zitao and immediately got up and acted.
In this way, in the quiet forest, everyone hunched their waists and continued to walk among the dense bushes and weeds.
Ten minutes later, though.
When everyone's field of vision entered an open area, everything that caught their eyes made these soldiers tremble involuntarily and become afraid.
A blood-red gem was hanging in the sky, and the blood-colored light emitted by the gem made the surrounding fog completely disappear, and it looked completely dark and terrifying.
In the open area of the ground, there were more than three hundred ordinary human beings, guarded by a large group of flying monsters with eagle bodies and human heads, trembling with fear and not daring to make a sound.
