Chapter 21: Dong'er's Persistence
"Are you crazy??" The captain yelled at him.
"Crazy? I'm going to show you if it's crazy. With that, SN3 transmitted the information he had just received from the monster's eyes to the eye helmets of each team member.
The so-called F City, that is, the meat and food distribution center in the inner city, nominally under the banner of supporting the poor people on the earth, in fact, after these people came here, they directly transferred to F City, not the inner city. City F is heavily guarded, and the people in it have a batch of applications for places in the inner city every once in a while. However, this is nothing more than a false hope. The people in City F are actually the food supply source of the inner city, and they are machine-processed and directly turned into high-end packaged meat products......
It's not so much a city as a pigsty. Feeding people and feeding others, while many people in the inner city are kept in the dark, perhaps not, and some are just deceiving themselves. When habit becomes natural, evil becomes "normal". After all, some of the people in the inner city eat refined nutritional potions, while the other part is the "human flesh" that they buy at a high price, which is now considered to be an incomparable delicacy. In an era when even crops are dying out, humans seem to be the most tenacious. Medical technology, information technology, and various technologies have reached a terminal value, and their viability and fecundity have been greatly improved, and of course, the number has also increased. However, mere survival does not satisfy the taste desires, and they also subtly divide themselves, human beings themselves, into different components of the food chain. People of a lower social class are eaten by people of a higher social class. In the past, everyone understood that the word "food" was just a figurative word, but now, it has both practical and potential meaning.
And at this time, where is the God they believe in? And can you really be saved by God? At the end of the day, God is at best a belief that we hope will be ingrained in the hearts of those in power so that the desires and expectations of those below can be fulfilled. More often than not, it is a more high-sounding banner that allows them to better manipulate the fragility in the hearts of the weak and to drum up the restless souls of this world.
"This!!" E3 was pale, completely defeated by this so-called reality, and she took a step back, ...... One-step......
Everyone fell silent, not knowing whether to believe or not. But these pictures are indeed information memorized by the brain, and they are not faked.
“E…… 3? That's right. SN3 STOOD UP, HER CLOTHES AND PANTS ALREADY SOAKED WITH THE "WATER", DRIPPING WITH WATER.
"Take my hand and don't be afraid." SN3 walked over to E3 and held out his hands. I saw E3 trembling all over, and his hands were reluctantly on SN3's hands, as if he was enchanted, muttering, "I...... I ate people, hehe, I lied to me...... The meat of poultry ......" the corners of her mouth twitched, drooling, and she had lost her mind. For her, prayer is a must before eating every day, and so is her family. And at that time, what was the food on the table? Pray, what an irony. Do I want to say that I thank God for giving me such a meal, thank God for letting me eat people and let others die?
"Don't be afraid, let's go there and we won't be afraid anymore." SN3 took her hand like the parting song, "DansLaNuit". What is the farewell? Maybe it's their confusion yesterday, today's confusion. I always think that the good is in my hands, but I don't know that it is the beginning of another evil. Rather than that, it would be better to ......
E3 laughed and cried. Traces on the face, scattered teardrops. She took SN3's hand and looked at her calm face, following her backward steps and walking forward. Let the other team members shout nearby......
“E3!!!!” Just when Dong'er and the rest of the team were about to rush to their side. SN3 turned his head sideways and looked at Dong'er, the corners of his mouth gradually rising, reaching the end of a smile.
Suddenly, SN3 stomped his foot violently. Suddenly, a stream of water gushed out from under their feet and into the sky.
With a "whoa-" sound, the water falling from the sky rushed like a wave for the rest of the team.
"Jump!!" The captain yelled. As he spoke, several people jumped to their feet with all their might, and the captain jumped up with SX2, the only non-member of the Eight Gate Team. In just a few seconds in the air, huge waves rolled by, and in an instant the ground returned to normal. To everyone's surprise, the bodies of E3 and SN3 were not "washed away", but instead turned into two skeletons, which gradually transformed into the same "bushes" as before. What you see in front of you can't help but make people feel emotional.
"Thank you." After landing, SX2 said gratefully to the captain.
"No, I guess you should have something to tell us, right?" The captain asked rhetorically.
SX2 hesitated for a moment, then looked firmly at the captain and said, "If this mission is over, I will tell you everything I know." ”
Since he said so, the captain said nothing more. It seems that there must be a great deal of joint and several responsibility and punishment for this kind of thing. The captain just looked at him, nodded, and answered.
"What's next?" E6 is clearly not as emotional as it used to be.
"Keep going, what else can I do?" The captain looked at the team and continued, "We should continue walking towards the bushes." ”
"What!?" E6 shouted hysterically, "You didn't see anything happening?" In such a situation, even if we go back, the military district will make an exception, right!? ”
"Do you think it's possible? You ask yourself and stop letting emotions control you. The captain's words were like a wake-up call.
E6 suddenly calmed down, as if he had woken up from despair, and said, "Yes, how is it possible, no matter what the situation, as long as the mission is not completed and returns to the inner city, it will also be counted as a deserter." ”
"It's good to understand! Stop saying anything unrealistic. The captain replied.
"That's right," Dong'er next to him agreed with the captain's thoughts, and added, "We also saw just now that the bones of SN3 and E3 have turned into a strangely colored bush, and its characteristics are very similar to the bushes in front of us, it seems that someone has been here to explore it before." ”
"What do you mean...... The information provided to us by our superiors is false?? The captain asked rhetorically.
"It's not impossible now." Dong'er confirmed.
"It's true, even the different teams have secrets that are isolated from each other. I think the information they provide is also a bit poor. Captain Spy, SX2, speculated.
"Then why don't you tell us what you know!!" E6 jerked him by the collar and asked.
"I said that if I could complete this mission, I would definitely say it. I said I would do it. SX2 sticks to its decision.
"I don't even know if I'm alive or dead in the next second, what are you doing keeping that bullshit secret!?" E6 gave SX2 a hard push and let go of him.
"That's it! E6! Be quiet! The captain reprimanded, "Since it was his decision, we respect his decision." ”
"Cut!" E6 is still unconvinced. He just couldn't figure it out. Why is SX2 so persistent?
"Then let's move on to the mission now!" With that, the captain took the lead and walked in front. And at this moment, none of the three of them did not have a weapon. A series of things happened, and they had to be on high alert at all times. Avoid unnecessary delays when switching weapons from the bracelet.
They are in the midst of bushes, which are of different colors and are not evenly distributed. If Dong'er's guess is correct, then the scale of this sacrifice is inevitably too large. It's chilling.
"Crunch-" Suddenly there was a sound from the bushes next to it. E6 frightened with a wave of his hands, staggering his blades, and slashing it off, and at that moment, a stream of black liquid poured out of the face.
"Huh?" The captain looked back, "E6, what's wrong with you?" ”
"This plant! Talking! E6 gasped for breath and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Are you sure?" The captain asked rhetorically.
"He's not lying, I did hear some voices just now. However, not sure what the sound is. SX2 added.
"What is this black liquid??" As if enchanted, E6 reached out and touched it.
"Don't touch it! E6! Dong'er tried to stop him, but it was too late.
"Hahh!!!!!!" After touching the liquid, E6 screamed uncontrollably.
"We ...... We're just experiments! E6 said with a horrified expression.
"What experiment!?" The captain shouted, then turned to Dong'er and said, "E8, what do you think of his condition?" ”
"From my senses, there's nothing wrong with him." Dong'er confirmed.
"None of the previous teams survived. Those...... Those are all lies! E6 said tremblingly.
"What??" The captain couldn't believe his words.
"He's telling the truth." Suddenly, Cen appeared in front of the captain.
The captain didn't hesitate at all after seeing Cen, and with a "hmm-" sound, he swung the fierce giant knife in his hand and slashed at Cen.
"Sister Cen!" Dong'er shouted nervously, she didn't expect the captain to be so decisive.
"When—" Cen blocked it with the weapon in his hand.
"Throwing knives?" The captain recognized this throwing knife, which was the weapon Cen had chosen at that time. But he didn't expect Cen to block it with just one hand, he was simply a monster. Even he blocked it so easily after his strength increased. Instead, he quickly raised his knife and slashed with his backhand.
Cen dodged to the side, turned over and immediately threw the flying knife in his hand, hitting the captain's arm solidly and piercing into the bone.
"Damn." The captain leaped back quickly and pulled the distance away. He stuck the giant knife into the ground, pulled out the throwing knife, and grabbed the wound in his right hand with his left hand.
"Oh? Didn't expect your left hand to be reorganized? Is it the broken tissue that transfers elements from other parts of the body to the wound? Cen smiled.
"That's a lot of nonsense!" In just a split second, his wound healed, and he used his right hand to handle the weapon again.
"So aggressive?" As soon as the words fell, E5 rushed up, and the two were at a stalemate. The frequent and violent collision between weapons makes people nervous to hear. The treading water under his feet ripples, and the sword light and sword shadow in his hand. Cen is agile and powerful, and has the ability to attack from a distance. Although the captain is extremely strong, his body reaction is weaker, even if he has the ability to improve this sharing skill. But it is also relatively slower than Cen.
"Boom-" sound, and again, the captain slashed into the air. It slammed into the ground, and the earth trembled.
"If you can't hit, no matter how strong you are, it's pointless." Cen said defiantly.
Indeed, now he has exhausted a lot of physical strength. As for the other team members, Dong'er couldn't do it at all, and E6 was completely in a panic, and SX2's combat effectiveness was very weak. Retreat was probably the best option now, and looking around, monsters were running wildly towards them in all directions. If it weren't for the SX2 blocking this "underground" stuff, it wouldn't have gotten worse now. However, this shielding of SX2 can only limit one, not multiple releases.
"What? Figured it out? Cen said as he looked at the captain with his back to her. He remained with his back to her, motionless.
"Listen, Dong'er." The captain whispered through the intercom.
"Captain......" Dong'er said weakly, she knew that she was useless, but she just couldn't do it.
"I know your concerns. It is not that there are no other solutions. The captain paused, then continued, "Listen, Dong'er. I noticed a thin chain of flesh around her neck, and I suspected she was being controlled by that thing. However, even if she gets rid of it, there is no guarantee that she will be able to wake up, because when she left, she left on her own initiative. So, I need you to figure out how to sober her up next. Do you understand? ”
"I ......" Dong'er obviously didn't know what to do, but now, she could only try any possibility. She continued, "I see. ”
"Well, you have to hurry up while I rip off the chain of flesh around her neck. Monsters from all sides have come over, and I think at first she just wanted to have fun, and now, she wants to clear us. ”
"Understood!" Dong'er thought it through. Either way, there are risks.
"I'm tired of playing with so much ink. Now let me die. As he spoke, Cen impatiently threw the six flying knives in his hands at the captain.
"Up!" After the captain finished speaking, he turned around and threw the giant knife in his hand towards Cen. The giant knife spun rapidly, and the air rumbled.
"Boom Boom-" The flying knife was blocked by the giant knife and ejected to the side.
"What?" Cen never expected that he would "throw" the weapon in his hand. You know, once the melee fighter's weapon leaves him, he becomes a living target. It's nothing short of a bet. Seeing that the giant knife was about to cut Cen down, Cen jumped up, and with a "hmm-" sound, the giant knife sped under her. There was no danger, and at this time, Cen didn't notice the captain's movements at all, as soon as she looked up, she saw the captain, but she didn't expect him to jump into the air and appear in front of her. The moment he swung with his right hand, his left hand ripped off the chain of flesh around her neck. And Cen only blocked his right fist, and he didn't expect him to have this purpose at all. She kicked violently in shock, flipped to the ground, and the captain fell directly to the ground.
"Comfortable?" Cen tilted his head and looked at the captain who fell to the ground and said. Apparently, as the captain expected, she did not immediately get out of control. I don't particularly understand the captain's behavior, and I just think it's a simple attack.
"What?" Cen looked down and saw that he was hugged tightly from behind.
"Sister Cen, don't do this again!" Dong'er shouted behind her with a crying voice.
"You let me go!" Cen was hideous, crazy, and constantly hit her backwards with his elbows.
"I don't!!" Although Dong'er was beaten and her nose was blue and her face was swollen, she still hugged her tightly. She hadn't tried to use her senses, but she still couldn't get into her mind.
“E8! What are you doing!! Let go of your hands! The captain shouted. He didn't expect Dong'er to rely on this way, this is simply seeking death. At this time, he barely landed on the ground with his hands on his hands, squatting on the ground. I don't have the strength to do anything. I could only watch her get beaten up by E9.
Suddenly, a dark shadow scurried behind Dong'er. By the time the captain found out, it was already too late, and it turned out to be a species he had encountered before, the Rémy Centaurea. It stabbed its tongue and pierced Dong'er's chest.
"Ahem-" Dong'er suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. There was a monster out of sight and ran straight over. Dong'er's hands naturally drooped at this time, seeing that he had been poisoned by the paralyzing nerves on the monster's tongue. With a "snap", he fell backwards heavily, soaked in water, and his eyes were slightly wide open......
