Chapter 60: The High Point
"Gollum ......" had just cut from the perspective of the town's mechanical rat to the one that climbed to the watchtower. Gou Ke was taken aback by the picture in front of him.
It was a pair of eyes that shone with an eerie silver-blue glow. The whites of the eyes and the pupils are completely indistinguishable. An unknown viscous discharge came out of the eye, covering the entire socket, and the eyelid had completely disappeared. The fleshy part of the nose has completely disappeared, leaving only two long holes that make a constant breathing sound. The upper and lower lips were gone, leaving behind two hundred terrible fangs. Cracks and faint silver marks covered the entire part of the face, like the old black bark of a tree that had not been cleaned after being stained with mercury.
It was the image of this terrible creature with a rough humanoid silhouette discovering the mechanical rat and grabbing it to look at it. This made Gou Ke really break out in a cold sweat. I've just killed one myself, but I've never seen it so closely, I didn't expect the face of this monster to be so terrifying.
Twenty minutes ago. Gou Cao looked around, and it was a C-shaped hill with openings facing south. At the foot of the hill was originally an agricultural area, and at the entrance of the C is an unknown town. The corpse chasers had taken over the town as their stronghold. The agriculture inside the C is supposed to be where the mechanical pyramid was located.
What made Gou Cao a little puzzled was that when the pyramid disappeared, there was such a big commotion, but there was still no obvious reaction from the town, and no one came to check.
However, during the insurance period, Gou Cao was still very cautious to avoid the open area, and gradually headed towards the top of the hill to the east of the town by taking advantage of the relatively high vegetation density. The watchtower, which he had just noticed at a glance, was built there.
The two mechanical rats that he had prepared in his subspace storage device to prevent unforeseen needs came in handy. Gou Ke found a hole halfway up the mountain, and after hiding it, he didn't move.
There are most likely people patrolling the town at night, and there is a visible figure on the watchtower. In this case, the danger of detection increases if you get closer to one of these points, while the mechanical rat does not.
Using neuroscintigraphy, Gou Cao manipulated the two mechanical rats to walk in different directions, and although the low size of the mechanical rats would allow the lowest weeds to block their vision, Gou Cao managed to get them to the predetermined location according to the route he had planned in advance. And so the opening scene happened.
The monster on the watchtower looked at the mechanical mouse for a while, then lost interest, and broke the mechanical mouse in a few clicks. made Gou Ke lose the picture on the side of the watchtower.
But that's enough, at least Gou Cao knows that there is only one monster on the watchtower, not a corpse chaser. The monster is smart enough compared to the zombies. But it's not smart enough to sound the alarm. The watchtower is isolated from the town, so if you sneak up and take care of this monster, you don't have to worry about anyone in the town noticing.
Thinking of this, Gou Cao immediately set off. The Watchtower touched it.
A few minutes later, the monster on the watchtower turned into a hornet's nest under the muzzle of a miniature submachine gun with a suppressor. The previous monster was able to make Gou Cao almost finish off because it had the advantage of a surprise attack, but this one didn't. However, this monster's vitality is quite tenacious, and it seems that it can't kill anywhere, and each shot can only pierce a small hole. It took Gou Cao to finish a magazine to get rid of it.
"Well, the terrain comparison is complete, and it seems that the gang that kidnapped you was just going around in circles in confusion the night before yesterday, and they didn't drive out of the Northern Metropolitan District." After Gou Cao climbed the watchtower to observe the terrain on all four sides, Cortana completed the terrain comparison and determined Gou Cao's location. "But like this, are you sure you want to go to those two people instead of just leaving here?"
"Don't worry, I'm nothing, I won't stick to a situation that's too dangerous." From the watchtower, Gou Ke looked at the human figures on the streets of the small town below the hill, dragging their footsteps back and forth in strange postures. I couldn't help frowning.
If this difficult monster does not appear, it will be a nest as soon as it appears. Now the town is full of this monster, and I don't know if there are any living people inside. Wu Zhe and Meng Jie didn't know what was going on.
When Gou Cao first lifted this monster, many things were uncertain: I don't know if this monster can infect others like zombies; I don't know if this monster can be controlled by humans; I don't know if this monster was raised in captivity by the corpse chasers entrenched here, or if it has been wiped out by this monster.
In short, many things can affect whether Gou Cao can be rescued alive in the end, or Wu Zhe and Meng Jie, but Gou Cao is completely unclear, this is fatal.
After Cortana discussed it for a while, it was agreed that the greatest possibility was that the corpse chasers had been wiped out by these monsters. The reason is that the black-robed man in the pyramid asked Gou Ke not to give an answer so easily before leaving. The implication is to think hard and give an answer later. Obviously, under this premise, the black-robed man did not have a special reason to conjure up a bunch of monsters to eliminate Gou Cao. And even if that man wanted to attack Gou Cao, then he should have let these monsters pounce on him, instead of letting them be sent one by one like a gourd baby saving his grandfather.
So the biggest possibility is. When the man from the future or an alien planet evacuated with the pyramid, he wanted to get rid of all the people who had been relieved of him head-on, except for Gou. So unleash this terrible and dangerous monster to destroy them.
The town is still largely unchanged, but a wall has been erected around the opening of the C-shaped hill, and barbed wire is still on top of it. The tallest building in the middle is the town government, with sandbags and machine guns on the roof and around it. In the case of the above speculation, this is the place where Gou Cao will go in to investigate next.
