Chapter 117: Cannibalism

In the wilderness, the corpses of the awakened were piled up, and several bulldozers worked all night, but only one corpse could be cleaned up, and the air was filled with the stench of burning corpses. Lin Feng, who had left Changtai to sweep the battlefield, did not go back, but carefully examined the corpses of those fourth-level awakened people who had not yet been cremated on the battlefield, to be exact, what he inspected the most was their heads.

The Awakened don't eat their heads, and this strange habit must contain a key amount of mystery. Therefore, when examining the corpse, he focused on the brain of the awakened, and even did not hesitate to dissect the corpse of the awakened on the spot so that he could get into the best state to see what was going on.

For two hours, Lin Feng had been dealing with corpses, and it wasn't until Changtai Town in the rear sounded the alarm that a new black tide was approaching, and he "reluctantly" threw down the head of an awakened person in his hand.

After careful investigation, Lin Feng discovered a strange phenomenon.

He examined the brains of nearly 100 awakened people, and he found that there was a very similar "circuit" in the cerebral cortex of these awakened people, and this circuit had traces of having just been "used".

This strange "circuit" was not new to Lin Feng, he had already discovered it when he dissected and examined the corpse of the awakened in the past, but at that time they did not have such a strict trace of "use", but the "sleeping" one was almost never used.

But now, they're activated!

In his memory, the first time he found the corpse of the awakened person whose circuit showed signs of use and activation happened to be when he was fighting the fifth-level awakened thunder beast outside that town. It's a pity that the corpse of the five awakened people has been taken back by the military for study, and Lin Feng can only do a simple "analysis" in a hurry, and the intelligence information he gets is too little.

"If I'm not misjudged, these circuits are the "back doors" for these low-level awakened people to be manipulated by higher-level awakened people or something else! ”

As soon as he thought that the truth might be like this, Lin Feng's heart pounded.

"If I can unravel this mysterious truth, maybe I can manipulate the actions of these awakened ones directly, as he did, then"

This was an astonishing discovery, but for Lin Feng, at most, he had only discovered the location of the lock, and he had not yet found the key to open the lock.

"Hey, if only that fifth-level thunder beast were still around, maybe we could find the answer from him."

The walkie-talkie on his body came from the urging voice of the instructor Han Fang, and the new awakened black tide was approaching Changtai. There was no need for him to remind Lin Feng that he had already sensed the arrival of a new army of awakened people, and the scale of this wave of the Black Tide was even more powerful than last night.

"To find the key, stay here a little longer!"

In last night's fierce battle, the suspicious creature that commanded the Kuroshio withdrew from the battlefield early when it saw that the battle situation was unfavorable. The brain is the most complex thing, just by checking the head of the manipulated awakened, Lin Feng knows that he can't concoct the "key" now. The best way to "match" the most perfect key is to find the manipulator of the "Kuroshio" to carefully "analyze" his body structure.

Two minutes later, Lin Feng returned to Changtai Town, where Lin Feng was at the camp in the town, Yuan Chuyu and Lu Qi were each lying in a large wooden barrel and eating frantically, the wooden barrel was filled with freshly burned white rice, and beside the two of them, the abandoned compressed biscuit bags and empty canned food boxes were thrown all over the ground. As dawn approached, the two on the verge of evolution suddenly became hungry, and then, like the cancer patients before the Awakened crisis, they began to eat like crazy, and this "breakfast" has not stopped until now.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, be careful of choking!"

Instructor Han Fang and division commander Shi Lei stood on the side, looking at the two gobbling up, Han Fang couldn't help persuading the two not to eat too fast, while Shi Lei was in a complicated mood. Just now, a telegram was sent from the rear asking about the semi-awakened people on active duty in the army. According to the meaning of the upper echelons, once these semi-awakened people have evolved to level four in battle, they must be sent to the rear as soon as possible. Semi-Awakened who have reached level 4 are extremely precious combat power, and they are indispensable precious resources in the future battle to defend Tianhe.

Yuan Chuyu and Lu Qi were about to evolve to the fourth level, and this information should have been fed back to the rear, but they were single-handedly suppressed by the division commander Shi Lei. Ten days in Changtai is an almost impossible task. To defend Changtai, the power of the fourth-level semi-awakened person is indispensable.

The new division commander Shi Lei is as his name suggests, with a knife and axe on his face, and a "stone-like" appearance of an iron-blooded soldier. So far, he is half a head taller than Lin Feng, his skin is dark, Lin Feng has never seen this person smile since he has dealt with him, and the deepest impression he left on him is the almost constant stone face.

Seeing Lin Feng, Shi Lei asked, "You're here, they're about to evolve, right?" ”

Lin Feng stepped forward, first put one hand on the back of Yuan Chuyu's neck, and after analyzing her current situation, he did the same to Lu Qi, and then nodded:

"It's basically level four!"

In just one night, Yuan Chuyu's fingernails became more pointy and sharp, and her hands on the rice bucket had changed from flesh red to purple red, and she heard Lin Feng's voice while eating, and when she raised her head to look at Lin Feng, everyone saw that the position of the left and right cheeks on her face showed tiger stripes, and the pair of "human eyes" that were originally black and white have now turned into a cat's eye-like bright green, if it is placed in a lightless night, it will be a pair of tiger eyes with a glimmer of light.

"Is Catwoman about to become a Tiger Girl?"

Lin Feng muttered in his heart, and scratched his right hand on the back of her neck, this action made Yuan Chuyu shake the joints of his whole body comfortably, and the exposed "cat hair" - maybe it would be more appropriate to call it tiger hair now, at this time, all the roots were erected, showing that she liked Lin Feng's "caressing" very much.

On the other hand, Lu Qi's situation was slightly different, his bare upper body was buried in the rice bucket, and his exposed skin was like a dead old tree, and large pieces of skin showed turtleshell-like cracks, and with the trembling of his body, one after another pieces of palm-sized skin fell off his body, revealing the new pink skin inside, and it was obvious that Lu Qi was now "molting".

Invisible to the naked eyes of others, Lin Feng, who was a perceptual type, clearly sensed that the layer of source force shield surrounding the surface of the two people's bodies was generating and becoming stronger. When his hand lightly pressed on the back of Yuan Chuyu's neck to probe, this layer of source force shield instinctively felt a slight repulsion towards him. Fortunately, Yuan Chuyu completely trusted Lin Feng and was completely open to him physically and mentally, so when he carried out "zero-distance" active detection, there were almost no obstacles.

On the contrary, Lu Qi's situation on the other side was different, because he was wary of Lin Feng, when Lin Feng pressed his hand on his back, although Lu Qi only cared about eating and didn't want to go against Lin Feng, but the source force cover of his body was "born from the heart", and when Lin Feng used the same way as Yuan Chuyu to detect and inspect him, he was obviously strongly disturbed by the source force cover, so that the information collected from him was very limited, and the sensitivity of the source force cover was different because of the master's own alertness. This discovery made Lin Feng sigh at the magic of the source power.

Shi Lei asked Lin Feng: "The scale of this wave of black tide is even bigger than last night!" ”

"It's daytime, and the visibility is much better than last night! The mines outside have also been re-laid, and this wave is not a big problem to stop them, but the bigger trouble is later, we need more and stronger fighters, but the strength here has been weakening. ”

Lin Feng was referring to those people from the 88th Division who had just been transferred.

"At least we have a fourth-level now, well, it's a fourth-level evolutionary!"

In the process of Shi Lei's answer, he cleverly called the fourth-level semi-awakened person a fourth-level evolutionary, obviously considering the "mood" of the two people in front of him.

"Don't worry, at least in the next few days, I won't let the troops here have non-combat attrition!"

Lin Feng had something to say, and Shi Lei also understood people, and quickly made a promise.

At this time, a staff officer came over and muttered a few words in Shi Lei's ear, Shi Lei's face changed, and he asked, "Do they want dog-eat-dog?" ”

The visitor replied, "I don't know!" ”

Lin Feng, who was on the tip of his ear, and many evolutionaries around him also heard what the staff officer said, Shi Lei glanced at Lin Feng and nodded, "Follow me!" Something new is happening! ”

++++

The Kuroshio Tide came to a halt when it reached a distance of about twenty kilometers from Changtai.

The frozen earth was now filled with the flowing Kuroshio, and two irregular circles, one large and one small, confronted each other, and the ones who formed the circle were the Awakened. Looking down from the sky, the two black seas are like two drops of oil in a basin of water, and they seem to be able to merge at any time.

Two drops of "black oil", one large and one small, slowly approached each other, like two silent armies. The big drop of "black oil" is a new entrant to the Kuroshio, with more than 50,000 heads, and the small drop is the loser outside Changtai Town last night, with only a few thousand.

Time passed little by little, and when the distance between the two sides narrowed to less than 100 meters, the edge of the big wave of the Kuroshio began to ripple, and the Awakened troops around the outer circle seemed to have encountered a vacuum cleaner, and the Awakened close to the position of the Little Black Tide broke away from the ranks of the Big Black Tide where they were and joined the team of the Little Black Tide.

The "Little Black Tide" continued to advance, and the manipulator of the "Big Black Tide" could not bear the wanton plundering of him by the "Little Black Tide", and it commanded his subordinates to take the initiative to retreat, temporarily away from the "hungry" kind in front of them. The original round cake-shaped Kuroshio team seemed to have been bitten off, and it was "concave" to a corner, and the gap was constantly expanding. Like an insatiable predator, the Little Black Tide is advancing faster and faster, and more and more Awakened people are joining his team, and when it breaks through to the center of the circle, the diameter of the Little Black Tide has nearly doubled.

In front of him was a circle of more than 400 fourth-level awakened people, and the center of the circle was guarded by an "octopus man" with purple skin and three eyes.

Here, the little black tide that had been rushing forward like a great white shark and devouring all the way stopped advancing, and then the little black tide, which was still "fierce" before, stopped "eating" and began to "vomit" instead, and the Awoken troops wrapped around the periphery broke away from the team and scattered in all directions.

Not only did the team of the small black tide have a "centrifugal" chaos, but the big black tide on the other side has also seen an out-of-control chaos. In addition to the core army composed of more than 400 fourth-level awakened people, all the awakened people on the periphery were like a hornet's nest, and the originally orderly and neat team that seemed to be controlled by an intelligent computer suddenly scattered in all directions, and then fell into an extremely chaotic and disorderly state of "rampage".

In these two waves of the Black Tide of Awakened Ones, whether it is a snake man, a cat man, a dog man, a snowman, a red devil or other awakened people, as long as they are not "of the same kind" as "themselves", most of them are killing each other. In the small space, there are most of the different types of awakened people, who used to be safe and sound only because of the control of the "leader", but when the external control power suddenly disappeared and weakened, it exploded like a boiling oil pot being poured with a scoop of cold water. In addition to the very few "smart" awakened people who were close to the periphery and fled in all directions, even the fourth-level birdmen who were flying in the sky and were responsible for "air cover" also joined the Awakened fire on an unprecedented scale.

More than 50,000 awakened people, crammed into a small space of less than ten square kilometers, biting each other like hungry beasts, all kinds of energy-type skills were released regardless of qiē, lightning and thunder, flesh and blood flying, and in an instant, this land was "boiled" into a pot of hot porridge by the turbulent awakened people.

In this boiling land, only two small areas in the center maintain an eerie silence.

In the original Great Black Tide, a small circle formation of more than four hundred fourth-level awakened people stood in the center of the boiling earth like a sea god needle, standing majestically. And after the "Little Black Tide" dispersed in all directions from the awakened people on his periphery, another small core of hundreds of fourth-level awakened people in the center of it was also a reef standing in the wind and waves.

Freezing bombs, flame balls, and the energy skills released when the surrounding third-level awakened people killed each other fell like stray bullets on the cores of these two "tranquilitys" from time to time, but they were blocked out by the protective shields released by the fourth-level awakened people on both sides.

In the center of the core of the two groups, two octopus people who look almost identical to each other ride on the bodies of the two high-level awakened people, one "tiger man" and the other "lion man", with two seemingly ridiculous "third" eyes, "staring" at each other less than a hundred meters away. They turned a blind eye to the rampaging cannibalism of their peripheral subordinates, leaving only each other's figures in their pupils. Accompanying the octopus people who looked at each other like clay sculptures, there was also the strongest fourth-level awakened army under their command.

The scene that happened here was recorded by the "war surveillance equipment" that the army had set up here in advance and transmitted back to the rear. Whether it was the front-line command center in Changtai or the people in the general headquarters of Tianhe City in the rear, they all saw this scene of self-harm on an unprecedented scale. The unmanned reconnaissance plane that was released later was even more fortunate to capture the scene of the confrontation between the two "octopus people" into the camera.

Lin Feng, who rushed to the command center in the front line, saw the scene of "king to king" through the front line surveillance setup.

"It's the queen bee fighting for dominance of the nest!"

Compared to others who can only see the world with the naked eye, as a perceptual, he is more aware of other strange changes.

The commanders of the two awakened ones attacked each other with their spiritual power, and the resulting powerful electromagnetic ** movement, even if it was twenty kilometers away, was as conspicuous as a candlelight in the dark.

When Lin Feng walked on the way to the command center, he had already "passively" sensed the electromagnetic fluctuations around him. And after seeing the confrontation between the two "octopus" in the command center, after some calculation, he carefully unfolded his active sensing ability and made tentative contact with the mental power fluctuations released by the two octopus people who were fighting each other.

These days, scientists all over the world have been speculating that there is an existence of an extreme type of awakened person who is purely based on spiritual power as the direction of evolution, and this speculation has been confirmed today.

Lin Feng released his own spiritual power, and carefully intervened in the confrontation between the two octopus people twenty kilometers away, and the spiritual power of the three parties only "touched" slightly, and the mental impact caused by the opponent's instinctive protective reaction caused a slight burning pain in his brain.

There are two sides to everything, and Lin Feng has long known that although active perception can "see" more clearly, it is also a rather dangerous way of perceiving.

If the spiritual power can be materialized, two spiritual power vortices with a true diameter of more than 100 meters have now been formed around the octopus man's body, and the two spiritual vortices have been closely touched together, intertwined, interfered, and eroded by each other. This kind of invisible confrontation is more cruel than the life and death of the countless awakened people around him, and once the confrontation begins, it will only end with the complete defeat of one side.

"When you spy on your opponent, your opponent is watching you!"

The two octopus people with pure spirit as the direction of evolution, no matter which one's spiritual power is far above Lin Feng. As a third party, Lin Feng indiscriminately entered the "voyeurism", and now this kind of detection is like looking directly at the strongest sunlight, and if he is not careful, he will be trapped in the mental whirlpool of the other party, and his spirit will be directly destroyed by the opponent and become an idiot on the spot.

Although he was very aware of the danger in his heart, Lin Feng still released his spiritual power without hesitation. He was bent on getting the "key to manipulating the Awakened", and the confrontation between the two spiritual-type high-level Awakened was undoubtedly a rare opportunity.

Lin Feng carefully released his spiritual power, he "pulled" his spiritual power as thin as spider silk, and then cautiously turned into a "figure 8" spiritual vortex around the two octopus people for tentative contact.

This kind of tentative contact, its movement is like a finger on a candle flame quickly skimming, although the time of contact is only a moment, but the spiritual storm generated by the confrontation between the two octopus people still twisted Lin Feng's "thread" in an instant.

At the moment when Lin Feng's spiritual power line was shattered, some information was still transmitted. When the life and death confrontation between the two octopus people is released, the spiritual power is released to the outside world without reservation, just like the open door of a museum, and the treasures stored in the zài are "picked up".

However, it is not easy to pick up these "treasures", because they are all wrapped in the powerful spiritual power of the octopus people. If Lin Feng's spiritual power wants to penetrate into it, he must "connect" his spiritual power with the spiritual power of the octopus man, this process is like reaching into the magma to fish for the treasure underneath, every contact is equivalent to dancing with the god of death.

Lin Feng released the "spirit thread", like a lightning rod, and gently touched the powerful spiritual vortex of the two octopus people every thirty seconds, and he was waiting, waiting for the best moment to take chestnuts from the fire.

On one side, there are at least awakened people above level five, and on the other side, they are only second-level evolutionaries, and the difference in the level of spiritual power between the two sides is too great.

Lin Feng calculated that his chance to "pick the chestnut from the fire" was only one moment, and that was the moment when the confrontation between the two octopus people was decided.

The two octopus people continued to "stare at each other" at a distance of 100 meters, and the third eye, located on the tentacles on the forehead, had turned from black to red, and then from red to purple, and bright red blood oozed from the mouth, eyes, ears, and nose of both sides. And the hundreds of fourth-level awakened people who had surrounded them like guards were lying on the ground as if they were seriously ill, as if they had goats and were crazy and kept fiddling.

The silent confrontation lasted for three minutes, and Lin Feng, as a "bystander", had already judged in repeated temptations that the octopus man from the smaller Kuroshio had the upper hand, and the octopus man from the downwind, the blood flowing out of the seven orifices was like a slowly opening faucet, at first it just fell drop by drop like tears, and soon it became a small stream of water, and then it became a completely open fountain, and finally with a bang, the octopus man who originally commanded the big black tide had his head like a watermelon that had been broken. It exploded into a sky of pulp.

"This is the time!"

At the moment when one of the octopus people collapsed and exploded, Lin Feng, who had been sitting on the wall and watching the fish, suddenly turned all his spiritual power into a thicker line and released it, and instantly made complete contact with the spirit of the surviving octopus man.

For example, comparing the octopus man's brain to a network server, what Lin Feng is doing now is as if his brain is a personal computer, and the network cable of guò spiritual power connects him.

As soon as the spiritual power of the two sides colluded, Lin Feng instantly felt the strong spiritual will of the octopus man. He didn't want to think about it, taking advantage of the weak moment when the opponent defeated the opponent and the spiritual power fell from the highest peak to the lowest trough, he used the connected spiritual force line to "download" it in the opponent's consciousness world, and no matter what he "caught", he took a wild breath with the mentality of "touching" and leaving, and cut off the connection between the two sides like lightning before the octopus man reacted and counterattacked.

From the connection to the "robbery" that rushed into the octopus man's mind to the exit and cut-off, the whole process was just a brief moment of two blinks of his eyes, and the moment his spiritual power was withdrawn, Lin Feng let out a loud noise, and his body in the command center fell backwards and fell to the ground fiercely.

Fishing copper money from "boiling oil" will inevitably pay the price, now he only feels a splitting headache, although he took advantage of the opponent's weakest time to attack, but the opponent's mental force field instinctively protected his spirit or "burned" his spirit, Lin Feng, who fell to the ground, salivated, his face kept twitching, and two lines of blood flowed out between his nostrils.

"It's so dangerous, I almost became an idiot"

Lying on the ground convulsive, enduring the sharp pain in his brain as if it had been bitten, biting his lip in pain, Lin Feng was so happy in his heart that he wanted to sing. The greater the risk, the greater the benefit, and in this risky robbery, he really got something good out of the octopus man's brain.

The people around were shocked when they saw Lin Feng's tragic situation, and after a slight confusion, the division commander Shi Lei helped Lin Feng up while greeting the hygienist.

"It's okay, I was "burned" by that guy! ”

Lin Feng endured the pain, gasped, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said:

"Those two octopus-like guys have won and lost! The smaller wave wins! However, he is also seriously injured now, and he will not be able to manipulate the too large Kuroshio to attack us in a short period of time. ”

Lin Feng, the perceiver, "saw" far more than Shi Lei, who monitored the situation of the Kuroshio with the help of modern equipment, knew much more. After the pain in his brain subsided slightly, he picked and picked up the information that he had actively detected, and most of them sued Shi Lei.

There were two secrets that Lin Feng had concealed.

One is that he did succeed in "harvesting" a little bit of Octopusman's "skill" in manipulating such a large number of awakened people in this adventure's spiritual connection.

But the other thing is that this kind of spiritual "networking" has always been interconnected, when he took out important information from the octopus man's mind, the moment the consciousness of the two sides came into direct contact, the courtesy was exchanged, and a small part of the consciousness and will in Lin Feng's own mind was also absorbed by the other party.

Lin Feng also didn't know what kind of changes would happen to the octopus man whose brain was emptied by the "awakening" suddenly absorbed the consciousness and will of the human being?

Chapter 118 Keys

"Who am I and what is my name?"

Because of "eating" something unclean, for a few seconds, Lin Feng almost couldn't tell who he was, and in those few seconds, he even thought that he was another person.

With Lin Feng's current ability, he is far from the level where he can directly extract the "thought" realm and memory from other people's minds. This time, he obtained a large amount of information from the octopus man's brain, which is not so much "downloading", but actually more appropriate to use the metaphor of being "polluted".

The octopus man's mental strength is almost equal to that of the abyssal one. Lin Feng launched a spiritual raid when the opponent was the weakest, but the difference in level was too great, and the spiritual power sent into his brain had no chance to spy and analyze at all, and the moment he entered, as soon as the spirits of the two sides came into contact, they were "polluted" by the opponent, and even "assimilated". ~~~~
