3. First contact
Lu Cheng and the three members of the team walked all the way to the edge of the ruins of the town.
"Kites, pictorials, hoops, look for cover on the left when you enter town."
Lu Cheng gave a new order a second before stepping into the ruins of the town.
From the cliff, the location where the wolf had fallen was an empty square, if there were other monsters or something in ambush.
Exposing the square to the full extent of the squad puts the entire team in danger.
"Captain, you are the priority of protection, and the risk of this contact should be borne by me."
Iron Ring whispered that he had received a higher priority than Lucheng before he came, and that was to protect Lucheng's safety.
Lu Cheng is the key to this operation, and it is obviously unwise to let Lu Cheng be the 'bait'.
"I feel like I've become a national treasure of the first level of giant pandas, so the plan has changed... And bring this with me, I might be able to understand the aborigines. ”
Lu Cheng took out a handheld radio and threw it to the hoop.
Although Tiehuan was curious about why Lu Cheng could understand the words of the aborigines, he didn't ask much...
The operation proceeded according to plan, and the three-man team led by Lu Cheng bypassed the ruins of the town and found a suitable lookout spot around the square where the giant wolf had fallen.
"It's in place." Lu Cheng's voice rang out over the radio of the Iron Ring, "The three aborigines who encountered it earlier are still lingering at the target location. ”
The hoop walked down the stone-covered road towards the square at the entrance to the town, and it didn't take long for him to see the body of the giant wolf.
Now it can no longer be called a corpse, but a skeleton.
In less than twenty minutes of hiking from the forest, the flesh and blood of the giant wolf had completely festered, and half of the skeleton was already exposed to the air.
The festering flesh turned into a viscous liquid, piling up on the ground and rapidly evaporating.
Ignoring the strange corpse, the hoop looked at the three 'humans' kneeling beside the corpse.
Their posture is indeed like praying to the gods.
"Ahem..."
Tiehuan interrupted the prayer of the three with a cough, and the middle-aged man instantly opened his eyes and looked at Tiehuan in panic.
He pointed loudly at the hoop and shouted something he couldn't understand.
"He's asking who you are, we don't have anything left."
Lu Cheng's voice rang out in the radio headset of the iron ring, and Lu Cheng was translating the other party's language.
"The hoop turned up the sound of the radio radio to the maximum, although I don't know how... I seem to have these aboriginal language stores in my head. "Lu Cheng gave a new order.
Tiehuan took out the walkie-talkie and pointed it at the three natives.
The middle-aged man seemed to think it was some kind of weapon, and he sat down on the ground in fright... At the same time, he hugged the little girl next to him with his hand.
"You don't need to be afraid, we don't have any malicious will, this monster is what we killed."
Lu Cheng's voice came over the intercom, in a language that the iron ring couldn't understand, but it was clear that the middle-aged man understood.
"You killed that blood... Blood Crystall? God... Are you the god of thunder? ”
The middle-aged man asked excitedly, but in his eyes the iron ring did not speak, and the voice coming from the strange box was similar to that of the oracle of the gods.
"Blood Crystal Beast, what kind of god are you talking about? Wait a minute... Hoop! Spot the enemy in your direction of three o'clock, and behind you too, is the wolf pack. ”
The language of Lucheng changed from the unintelligible Otherworldly language of Tiehuan to Chinese in an instant.
Iron Ring didn't have time to pay attention to the three natives, and the moment he loaded the rifle in his hand, more than a dozen wolf-like creatures had already appeared from both sides of the ruins.
These wolves were covered in the same viscous scarlet liquid as the fallen giant wolf, but the size was the same as that of a normal wolf.
The middle-aged man was praying to God again, and in this desperate situation, only God could save them.
But Tiehuan doesn't believe in God, he only believes in the guy in his hands.
Raising the gun and aiming and pulling the trigger, the moment the muzzle of the gun burst into flames, the three wolf-like creatures led by the gun were torn apart by the bullet and fell directly to the ground.
But the wolves behind the ring also attacked, and they had just started running on the ruins.
In less than three seconds, the abdomen of the seven wolf creatures that rushed was completely pierced by 5.8 mm caliber bullets in turn, and the body composed of viscous liquid could not support the powerful destructive power of the bullet, and it was almost broken in two.
They could no longer support their bodies and fell to the ground with a whimper.
"The battlefield is cleared."
Lu Cheng's voice sounded again in Tie Huan's headset, and Tie Huan looked in surprise at the seven corpses that had been killed behind him, and he only heard seven gunshots, all of which came from Lu Cheng.
"The god of thunder... It's the god of thunder! ”
The middle-aged man was completely insane when he saw this, or... Convinced that this is the work of the gods.
He had mistaken the sound of the gunshot for thunder, and the wounds on the wolf's body as traces of lightning penetrating it.
"Don't be about it, do you have a hiding place? Take us there. ”
Lu Cheng's voice came from the walkie-talkie again, this town is not very safe, Lu Cheng is basically sure.
The three aborigines must have a relatively safe place to hide in this town if they were able to continue their lives in this town.
"Of course, of course! Please follow me..."The middle-aged man had already regarded the iron ring as the messenger sent by some god.
Lu Cheng temporarily gave up explaining to the aborigine, and after meeting with the iron ring on the way, Lu Cheng was taken by the family to a building that looked like a church.
"This is the church of the God of Souls, please forgive me, there is no church dedicated to you in our city."
The middle-aged man respectfully said to Tiehuan, and the three team members who came out later were also regarded as god-like beings.
After all, the equipment of the whole body of the team is very uniform, and the clothing style of this world is still that kind of rough linen clothing, which is converted to the level of civilization on the earth, and the eleventh and twelfth centuries are already the limit.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Lu Cheng looked at the interior of this shelter, the space inside was quite spacious, it looked like it had been unattended for a long time, and five or six gray-faced aborigines huddled in the corner of the building and looked at Lu Cheng vigilantly.
There were seven of them, and they had been trapped here for some time, with insufficient food and clothing, and they were all refugees.
"Divine Envoy, don't you know about the Blood Crystal Beast Calamity?" The middle-aged man asked cautiously.
"We are not gods... But it doesn't matter, you can call it that, I just want to ask what's going on in the town. ”
Lu Cheng thought that this awe would help him get information from him.
"I don't know what day the blood-stained moon descended on our country, and the blood crystal beasts began to invade everything around us, and those monsters destroyed our homes, families, friends... Everything, we barely survived the first wave. ”
"Sounds a bit like Zerg?"
Lu Cheng remembered the group of wolf creatures he had killed earlier, their flesh and skin were constantly festering, this creature did not look like it was born from the 'mother's womb', but rather like a one-time product.
"Worms?"
"Don't worry, I have some more things to ask." Lu Cheng said.
