Chapter 22: Alienation for the Night Raid
Chapter 22: Alienation for the Night Raid
In the spiritual power group, there are some pictures observed from the perspective of Li Sai.
In the first frame, several giants are playing carefree (?). Bathed in the warm sunshine, walking on a step that is cooler than a space step, and enjoying yourself.
Li Sai quietly approached.
The spiritual power surged, gathering the water vapor in the air, condensing into several smooth water mirrors, and suddenly appeared in front of the giant.
The sudden appearance of the foreign object caused the giants to instinctively attack, but the moment they saw the reflection in the water mirror, their movements froze!
Woo oh oh oh !!
The next moment, the giants unanimously made a gesture of covering their faces and let out a high-pitched roar.
This scene is the first reaction of the disfigured woman in the brain-dead TV series to take off the gauze and look in the mirror......
How weird!!
Zhang Shen felt that the whole person was not good...... Nima, what kind of rhythm is this,!
In the picture, the giant screams a few words and then frantically shatters the water mirror in front of him. Li Sai had no intention of continuing, and let them do it, just hiding aside and watching quietly.
After smashing the water mirror, the giant went crazy for a while, and then gradually calmed down...... After about half an hour, they returned to their previous ignorant and happy life, once again with the weird smile of a person with severe cerebral palsy, taking cool steps, basking in the sun, and very happy......
The spirit body wrapped in a wisp of spiritual power dissipated, and the picture disappeared with it, but the four of Zhang Shen still maintained their original movements, motionless, as if they had turned into sculptures.
It was not yet night, and the temperature was quite comfortable, but Zhang Shen felt a chill flowing through his body, which made him can't help but get goosebumps.
The short few minutes of the picture left everyone with infinite reverie.
Performance of the giants...... It's weird!!
This kind of reaction should not have happened to a walking dead race at all!!
Unless......
"Forget it," Blue Phoenix broke the silence, her voice a little hoarse, "There's no point in pursuing too much." β
"After all, the purpose of our coming to this world is to destroy these giants and maintain the continuation of human civilization...... Even if there's anything else going on in there, it's none of our business......"
Blue Phoenix's words were very sharp but also very realistic, although Zhang Shen wanted to understand, but when he thought of the three tasks that the Great Will stuffed into his head, he suddenly seemed to be poured from his head by a basin of ice water, extinguishing those thoughts.
"Li Sai, what do you think?" Zhang Shen still felt a little "unwilling" and asked the parties.
"It's just a humanoid creature from another world, does it have anything to do with us?" Li Sai's words were equally cold. was woken up by Blue Phoenix's words, and she reacted immediately, and at the same time felt a little ashamed of her gaffe. "It seems that devouring a large number of souls does have side effects......"
After all, other people's things are someone else's, and so is the soul. Devouring a large number of giants' souls, Li Sai has also been affected to a certain extent, at least his heart is not as firm as before, and his emotions are more prone to fluctuations than before.
If it had just become a great void, she wouldn't have bothered to care what happened to the giants!
Blue Phoenix and Li Sai both objected, even if Zhang Shen was curious, he could only give up.
The topic once again returned to the status quo detected by Zihao and Yi Chao. The human kingdom has long lost its ability to survey the outside world, and this situation is equivalent to only the five people present knowing, and this kind of feeling of taking the huge pressure into one body is very bad.
"Do you need to let Daris and the others know?" Zhang Shen felt that Daris and others also had the right and duty to know, "Although we say that we have the authority to mobilize the power of a country, everyone knows what the so-called bureaucracy looks like." Putting some pressure on them will definitely help us in the future. Although everyone was extremely grateful for his alchemy, Zhang Shen was not naΓ―ve enough to believe the casual promises of a politician.
Blue Phoenix nodded: "It's okay." But I think it's better to talk about it tomorrow to give them a sense that the information is not easy to come by. β
After chatting for a while, a few people couldn't think of any good way to deal with it, and in the case of insufficient combat strength, after all, they could only come to cover the water and cover the earth, and one step at a time.
Returning to the room, Zhang Shen used the Qianyin Spiritual Power Exercise Method that he had exchanged, replacing sleep with meditation.
The night fell, the black clouds covered the moon, the stars dimmed, and it was a dark and windy night.
The camera turns.
Outside the Wall of Sheena, on both sides of the Nameless River, beside the waterway.
More than a dozen giants of about four or five meters came out of the darkness.
Although they are not tall and their body size tends to be "thin" and "slender", judging from the fact that they also have at least twenty-two abdominal muscles, these dozen giants are the elite and elite of the giant group!
Giants have always been active during the day, and these giants are unique in that they can move freely at night, and the way they look is clearly an organized and premeditated operation.
They soon came to the river.
Zhang Shen and the others have learned that the giant is afraid of water, not because of anything else, but because he is "afraid" of seeing the reflection in the water!
The strange thing is that these giants still did not stop when they reached the river, but took a step and stepped into the river!!
If you look closely, you will find that the surface of the skin of these giants seems to be smeared with a layer of oil, exuding a faint luster, and in addition, their eyes are more blank than the hollowness of ordinary giants!
They are suddenly manipulated by some kind of being!
In this way, it can explain why they are able to overcome their natural fear of water and enter the river on their own. As for the shiny substance on the surface of the skin, most of them are alienated by the stimulation of the T virus.
For now, the only person in this world who can control giants is the mysterious and unpredictable "leader" who has produced wisdom nine times out of ten!
These "water giants" entered the river one after another, and because of the water film on the surface of the skin, it did not cause much movement, except for the spreading ripples, there was no other sound.
They went deeper and deeper, and soon, the river spread to their chests and even their chins. This is already the deepest part of this section of the river. At this time, if it were an ordinary person, it would have been impossible to bear the chest tightness caused by that huge sense of oppression and return, but these giants were unaware.
They start moving forward, aiming in the direction of the waterway!
Near the waterway, the river had become deeper because of the manual digging, and soon climbed up from their chests and chins, flooding their mouths and noses, and even covering them all over the top.
Something even weirder happened-
They're actually starting to swim!!
Although the posture is rather clumsy, like a newcomer who has just come into contact, they are "gifted and intelligent", and after a few minutes of silent fluttering, their movements become quite standard......
Perhaps because they didn't have to breathe, these giants even learned to dive without a teacher......
After confirming that each giant had reached the maximum swimming skill, the "leader" steered the giants to dive towards the waterway, and soon reached the entrance of the waterway.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Even though it was late at night, Moreland remained at his post and guarded the waterway to ensure that this "lifeline" would not be damaged in any way.
"Commander, something seems to be wrong over there." The guard's somewhat uncertain tone alerted Moreland, and he hurriedly rushed over to inquire about the specific situation.
"Some time ago, there were constant ripples coming from the opposite side, accompanied by a slight sound of water." The soldier in charge of listening to movement across the wall reported.
Giants are afraid of water, this is a "common sense". It has been observed that giants are never near places where there is water, which is why several waterways connecting the Sheena region to the outside world are so valued and regarded as a lifeline for future counteroffensives.
Moreland frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can you see what is happening on the other side of the passage, and if these ripples and water sounds are caused by some kind of aquatic creature?" β
It's also strange to say, perhaps because of the influence of the laws of the plane, in addition to the fact that the T virus has lost the characteristics of secondary infection, there is only one kind of infected organism, and it has no effect on the birds and beasts of this world. Otherwise, with the current zero anti-air combat power of mankind, I am afraid that it will be completely extinct long ago.
As for the original aquatic life in this world, as far as the freshwater river or nameless river is concerned, it is not too dangerous.
"The light is too dim to see clearly." The soldiers said they couldn't do anything.
Just as Moreland and the others were racking their brains to find a way, a heavy crash suddenly came from the heavy gate.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The sudden thump made everyone present almost jump on the spot, and their nerves tensed to the extreme.
"What's going on?? What's going on?! "The first time Moreland was in this situation, he was also a little panicked. However, after all, he is still the commander of the Third Corps, and he should do the same.
"Leia, you hurry up and report the situation here to General Dorek, and the others will get me weapons and line up! It doesn't matter what it is, just kill it as soon as it comes out!! β
The soldiers in the front row held a one-man tall thick wood-clad iron shield, and the second and third rows all aimed their muskets at the gates, ready to shoot at all times; On both sides, there are dozens of elite soldiers using three-dimensional maneuvers to climb the wall, and the weapons that have been replaced with the latest blades have been unsheathed, flowing under the light of fire, and they want to use the enemy's blood to attack.
It was the "water giants" who slammed the gates.
Despite being in the water, hot steam is constantly emitting from the top of their heads.
This is a method similar to burning the source in exchange for a short period of power, and there is no doubt that it is inseparable from the T virus. With each impact, the giant's soul fire dimmed a little.
When its soul fire can no longer sustain such a huge body, it is the time for its soul to be gone.
Click!!
In the silence of the night, the sound of the wooden door cracking was particularly clear.
Moreland's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
