Chapter 20: Man Eats Man
This canyon seems to have no end, and there is no "hope" of seeing the exit for a long time. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, and because of being in the canyon, the visibility plummeted.
"Oh my God—" E6 was visibly impatient, and with a long sigh, he continued, "How long is this going to be?" ”
At this moment, a long voice came from nowhere: "God? Is there really such a thing? ”
Suddenly, all the staff stopped. Extreme alertness. That's right, this voice is indeed the voice of the E9.
“E3! Details to share! The corps ordered.
"Yes!" Saying this, E3 passed on the shared skills of vision, improving the visibility of the details of their vision, and the automatic awareness function of the eye helmets they wore would greatly improve their visual acuity.
However, although the team has also improved the attention of all the staff. The E9 is still not found. Now it is extremely unfavorable for them, and although they have night vision, they are much less observant.
"Sister Cen! Where are you? Dong'er couldn't help but scream loudly.
"The inner city, how ridiculously gorgeous. Can God save you when you are suffering? In front of them, a piece of ground shone with fluorescent blue, like the night of plankton in the deep sea. Cen just stood there, dancing, like a person's ballet, and like a butterfly that fell to the ground, eye-catching. Like the color of temptation.
"What are you doing!" The corps roared angrily, without the slightest hint of politeness. Although they are former teammates, they have long since changed.
Cen was still dancing there, as if in his own world. I didn't care about the team at all, and I didn't care about the alternative eyes of others. Until the last dance step, the last one-legged spin is complete. She smiled, she waved, she bowed, and thanked him......
"Dancing, of course." She wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued, "But now, the dance is over. ”
"Sister Cen! What happened to you? Dong'er asked eagerly.
"Oh? Dong'er. Cen eyes lit up and she was spotted in the crowd.
"What's wrong with you, Sister Cen?" Dong'er continued to ask.
"Dong'er, do you believe in faith?" Cen changed his words.
"Faith ......? I...... Believe, at least that's part of our spiritual sustenance. Although Dong'er didn't understand why Sister Cen suddenly asked this, she still answered her.
I saw Cen's slight smile, like a clear stream, washing away the dirty pain. She looked at Dong'er and said, "That's it." Is it real sustenance, or is it just a slogan? She sighed and continued, "A soft tongue can break bones. Words are always so beautiful, and that's just how they are said. ”
"You'd better get caught now! Don't say something inexplicable again! "The corps warns again.
"Inexplicable? Don't you know that this is from the Bible? This is the 'faith' of those high up in the inner city, the military governors. Cen looked at him contemptuously.
"Isn't it what! E2! "The corps intends to strike first. I saw E2 decisively straighten his arm and rush at Cen, and suddenly, the artery in his upper limb ruptured. A stream of blood gushed out and struck straight at Cen.
Suddenly, a Centaur flashed in front of Cen, opened its huge mouth, and took all the blood in its mouth. E2 lowered his arm and looked at it triumphantly.
"What?! Be careful! "Although the captain increased the concentration of the whole team, he didn't have time to use the other members to share their skills, and everything had already happened. At this point, the unexpected situation has outpaced their reaction speed.
It turns out that the blood of E2 is a blood poison with a strong corrosive effect. This is one of his bodily functions. But just now, he thought that his blood would be able to corrupt the monster in front of him, but things didn't go as E2 thought.
"Poof-" sound. The blood poison that had just been contained in the mouth of the strange horse spurted out like a ray.
I saw that E2's cervical vertebrae were directly crushed by this huge impact, and with a "chirp", the brain was full of brains, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the face was directly penetrated, revealing a circular hollow.
"What !?" The team couldn't believe their eyes, and it was hard to react even if they raised their attention a few levels at such a speed.
"Pride precedes destruction, arrogance precedes depravity. - "Old Proverbs" Cen smiled gloomily, and continued: "Didn't your faith give you these truths? Or is it just a blank flag? So confident, that E2? ”
"What? So much garbage sent out?? If you have the ability, come ahead. With that, Cen walked towards the cave next to him.
"Stop!" E1 has now lost his mind, and E2 is the best brother he gets along with in this team. I saw that he flashed behind Cen in an instant, and swung the giant hammer violently with both hands, smashing it hard. With a "boom", a large crater was smashed on the ground.
"Is it a blind way to use blind spots to move quickly? It's really a waste of power. Cen stood next to him, crossed his hands over his chest, tilted his head and said.
Before he could make a second move, a three-headed monster swooped down from above, encircling his head in the middle, and spun rapidly around his head. The rest of the team watched dumbfounded, not even knowing what to do next. SN3, who had seen Cen in the simulated situation before, knew very well at this time and did not dare to act rashly. The other support SN1 was stopped by the main team. He had to avoid such an unorganized and blind attack, and besides, there was nothing he could do now but control the situation first.
Suddenly, E1's neck snapped and was linked together by the three-headed monster, turning into four heads!
"What!?" E6 exclaimed.
"Could it be that these so-called 'human head' monsters are all ...... What did the ordinary humans of the inner city become?? E7 nervously analyzed.
"How is that possible!" The corps argued.
"How could it not be? Those exiles, huh? Also, do you think that the information of each goalkeeper is the same? Do you say yes, that TE over there...... 12? It should be from the Ministry of Supply and Demand, right? Cen said.
"Don't divide our team here!" The corps went straight back. But when he looked at TE12, he noticed the change in her subtle expression, that kind of uncertainty.
"What's going on! TE12, when is it now, what are you still hiding?! The team yelled at her.
"I ...... I'm hiding nothing! The TE12 of supply and demand stumbled back.
"Stop talking nonsense!" I saw E6 rush up with an arrow, directly choke her neck with his arm, and asked, "What are you hiding?!" ”
"What am I...... I don't know! TE12 said breathlessly.
"Heheha-" Suddenly, Cen and the "monsters" beside her laughed, and their voices were extremely harsh, like a mango needle.
"What a team! What friends and brothers, you have become like this before I say anything, and besides, I am not lying. A team doesn't even have transparent information, but your superiors are wise! Cen said sarcastically.
"If you want to know...... Just come in. With that, Cen disappeared into the cave.
"Sister Cen......" Dong'er was at a loss and stood in place. The whole team also starts to be suspicious of each other, and the E4, FE4, FE11, FR30, FR13, and O1 form another group and decide to return to the inner city.
"Headquarters! Don't blame me! What is happening now is far beyond our expectations! E4 argued.
"Yes! It would have been a mistake to send R&D personnel to this mission! O1 finished. Four people from the medical and maintenance departments should also be in harmony. It is almost half of the people, and it is useless to rely on the title of the team to suppress it, but it is more difficult to ensure the centripetal force of the team.
"I'll just say one thing! Be aware of the dangers of returning to the inner city and being exiled! "The team didn't hold them back, they just made them understand the consequences of their actions.
"Captain, that's better than dying in a few seconds, right?" E4 said with contempt.
"Since you say so, then don't blame me for not warning you about the consequences!" The team once again took a stand. The men didn't say anything more, didn't pay attention to the team, just shook the luggage on their bodies, and turned to leave. It didn't take long for them to disappear into the darkening night, without a trace.
"Good! Is there anything left to go now! The corps emphasized. He looked at the team members, each with their own thoughts, but they didn't squeak, and then he continued, "Yes! Then let's move on to the mission! In the next step! No one is allowed to act recklessly! Otherwise, I'd have abandoned him for the sake of the whole team! Let's go!!! ”
The moment they entered the cave, it was as if they had stepped into another world, and it was extremely bright in all directions, but there was no "Sun-B" in the sky. The surroundings are surrounded by uneven bushes, and the foot is ......
"Bang-" SN3 raised his foot and wondered, "Water??" SN3 was just about to touch it with his hands, but was stopped by the team.
"Wait!" The team took the giant knife on his back in his hand, lightly touched the "water" with the tip of the knife, and took a closer look.
"Sure enough." The team looked at the slightly discolored tip of the knife and said. This is a weakly acidic liquid, and although it is said that the corrosion strength is small, it is not yet certain what the consequences of ** contact will be. But this plant can survive here, which is very strange, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.
"What ??" Auxiliary Captain SN1 shouted. The water was shallow, but there was a behemoth swimming beneath their feet.
Suddenly, "Whoa! With a bang, a bloody mouth rushed up from under the water, biting E7 and SN1 standing next to him, and immediately blood was all over the ground, and the monster dragged them down together.
SN3 is splattered with blood and watches as Auxiliary Captain SN1 is dragged underwater. She stood still, as if in a state of panic. Just now, when the bloody mouth was protruding, the countless eyes on the mouth suddenly looked at her, which was creepy.
"Cut!" The corps frowned, there was always some contingency. It's too late to do anything. In the blink of an eye, two more members died. Now the team is completely in a state of learned helplessness, not knowing how to react.
"SN3, what's wrong with you!?" Dong'er stepped forward.
"Food...... Food. SN3 muttered to himself.
"Do you need supplies?" Dong'er thinks she's hungry and needs nutritional tablets.
"Ah!!h Suddenly, SN3 began to vomit sickly. The rest of the team looked at her in amazement, and raised their vigilance, who knows what else would happen. Suddenly, she ran forward like crazy with a filthy mouth, with no purpose at all.
"Be vigilant!" The corps warned. He really couldn't understand what was going on. He quickly "brought" SN3 back.
"Everyone quickly got to SX2! Fast! The team waved their hand.
Everyone woke up from their astonishment and hurriedly followed the words of the corps.
"Now! Please be quiet and put your hands on me. SX2 said.
During this time, several more giant mouths roamed around them. Everyone shuddered as they watched as they approached the dark shadows. Everyone was so anxious that they were sweating and shivering. Just three minutes passed, but it was like three hours for them.
"It should be okay now, I've disguised everyone's brainwaves. Consistent with the brainwaves of the monster they had just detected, if nothing else, they probably wouldn't be attacking again. SX2's words suddenly made the other members feel a little safe.
Everyone shuddered as they watched as the monsters swam under their feet, and sure enough, they just "swam away" and did not attack. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"We have to get out of this area as soon as possible, and my camouflage will last for two hours at most." SX2 said calmly. With that, the group followed the captain into the depths of the bushes.
"Hey! SN3 What do you do! Let's go! E3 noticed that she wasn't moving, and shouted at her. I saw her head down, still standing still, silent. The other team members also stopped and looked at SN3 behind them.
"What's the situation?" The captain walked up to her and asked. The info map seems to be wrong here, but for now the only way to explore the bushes is to go deep into the bushes. Everywhere else, it's desolate.
"It's long been extinct, animals on earth." SN3 laughed nervously, confused.
"Don't you understand? The animals we migrated here are not suitable for life at all, they are all extinct! And on Earth, too...... It's the same! SN3 said hysterically.
"What the hell are you trying to say!?" The captain frowned.
"The meat we supply in the inner city is ...... Human flesh! SN3 shouted.
"What!? Stop talking nonsense there! So many kinds of meat on the market!? How is it human flesh! I think you're crazy! Captain! I see that she has been frightened and has begun to deceive people, and wants everyone to go back and confess their guilt......" TE12 nervously argued.
"Shut up! TE12。 The captain interrupted her, looked at SN3, and continued to ask, "What the hell is wrong with you?!" ”
"I saw it! In the eyes of those monsters, those unspeakable secrets. The corners of her mouth twitched, she raised her head, and continued: "Those eyes, those are the teammates who died before, and those ...... The eyes of the deserter before entering the cave!! They didn't even get away! ”
"Stop talking nonsense! What a madman, I ......" TE12 was about to continue, but was interrupted by the captain again.
"Listen to her! What exactly do you want to do!? The captain was a little annoyed.
"SN3, you go on." Dong'er said to her gently, wanting to calm her emotions.
"I think all the families standing here are more or less powerful. I'd rather give up what I've done on Earth to come here and become a civilian. SN3 sat down on the ground unconcerned, looked up at them and continued, "Humanity has always had a sense of crisis, and when there is no such crisis, it will do evil at will. When they exist, they will kill each other, cover them up with lies, and seek that unrealistic psychological comfort. ”
"What do you mean by cannibalism?" The captain wondered.
"The human flesh you've eaten in the inner city since you were a child." SN3 sneered, "That pride precedes destruction. Let's see if it's going to happen. Once upon a time, we always thought that we were such a superior intelligent animal, so proud that it seemed that no species could get into the eyes of the law. We mutilate, destroy at will. And now? It's ridiculous to end up eating your own flesh on your own. ”
"What proof do you have for that!" E3, who had been silent for a long time, asked rhetorically.
"Evidence? Does that really matter? SN3 LOOKED AT THE SKY, "DO YOU REMEMBER THE STEWS AND STIR-FRIES YOU ATE?" How's that, delicious? E3 vomited in disgust.
"Shut up!" The captain said solemnly.
"Even the animals that people on Earth eat in their mouths are extinct, what about this planet where the environment is not suitable at all?! Those who don't have much power, think that the government is so kind?? Do you know this place in F-City? SN3 asked rhetorically.
"F City!?" Dong'er's eyes lit up.
"Hmph, looks like you know a thing or two. You're also known for your ability to sense, and I think you're aware of the clues on those monsters, but you're not sure about it. SN3 scoffed.
"F City, what kind of place is it?!" The captain asked.
"You let TE12 explain, isn't she the captain of supply and demand? It should be well known that there are many secrets that are carried out cooperatively in the supply and demand and procurement departments. SN3 looked at TE12 fixedly.
"I ...... I do not know! TE12 shook his head nervously.
"When is it!? TE12, you tell me clearly. The captain roared.
"Although your eight teams have the most superior resources and the most respectable status. But the mortality rate is indeed the highest, and I think you should also know that you are nothing more than a pre-exploration team, just like our seven teams, there are no special secrets, and any other team has some secrets that cannot be revealed. You're just ahead of everything, death, of course. SN3 couldn't help but laugh nervously again.
"You! You shut up! TE12 punched SN3 in the face.
I saw SN3 turn his face and stare at her viciously. The move is fast and unseen, fast and neat. TE12's head snapped and fell into a pool of water on the ground. His eyes were lifeless and dull, still looking at this "bright" sky......
