Chapter 76: Inferences
Raphael's personality is very cautious.
Therefore, he took the people around in a circle, and finally chose the building closest to the mirage crack as the object of looting. Because in his opinion...... It is not safe to loot and kill in such a completely unfamiliar otherworldly human city, and the closer you can get to the spatial rift of the Bone Tribe, the better.
In case the other party comes back after the killing, get closer to the rift, and have a better chance of running away, if you rush out like those fools like Cardo...... If you lose the battle again, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back alive!
So, with more than a hundred gnolls under his command, he stormed the huge stone building.
As a gnolloll who grew up on the edge of the southern Pampa grasslands, Raphael still didn't have much to learn, even though he had a little more knowledge as a warlock.
Before today, the largest building he had ever seen was the façade of a small town on the edge of a human state in the Pampa steppe.
Today, for the first time in this huge building, the ordinary decoration of this hotel that earthlings have become accustomed to has become a 'temple' in Raphael's eyes!
This smooth ground...... It even made him see his own reflection...... Can't help but rub ...... Friction...... Rub on this slippery ground......
The golden staircase handrails look like gilded beings to the average gnoll.
The entire wall is completely transparent glass.
There is a mirror in the bathroom that clearly reflects their appearance.
Moving all these things back to the Continent of the Gods is also a valuable thing!
With Raphael's order, the excited jackals cheered and began their "dizzying, only hating Mom and Dad for missing a few arms" looting!
The gnolls quickly scattered.
No one wants to share the "treasure" they have found.
Some gnolls began to lift the decorations in the hotel lobby nearby, a few gnolls tried to tear down the golden staircase handrails on the stairs, and some gnolls stared at the expensive drinks that were set aside—for them, these beautifully shaped bottles were obviously much more attractive than the paper-wrapped cigarettes.
As for the things in the cash register and counter that humans would care about, these gnolls didn't know the purpose at all, and were discarded on the ground at will.
The wolves were hungry and scavenging in the hotel.
Holding everything they thought was valuable in their arms, some of the jackals smashed open the hotel room and carried them down the stairs in bundles of sheets, curtains, and other "fabrics" that they considered to be extremely valuable.
On the other hand, the valuable televisions and other electrical appliances were discarded and left in place or smashed as unknown things.
Soon.
Some of the gnolls who rushed ahead found the tenth floor sealed by a large pile of beds, cabinets, chairs, and even refrigerators.
Whether it was because of the "fresh meat" behind these barricades or because they thought that most of the valuable things would be transferred to this level by these otherworlders, these gnolls howled excitedly and called out to their companions, and began to struggle to remove the obstacles, trying to rush to the tenth floor.
Downstairs came the eerie growl of the gnoll and the sound of moving away obstacles.
The people at the top of the stairs suddenly felt the pressure.
Although I don't know much about these monsters, this kind of wolf-headed monster that starts attacking pedestrians from the moment it appears, and even some of them chase into the hotel lobby and slash and kill many people, is clearly not a kind existence.
Once it rushes up, I'm afraid it will be killed.
Some of the timid waitresses and customers were already reddened in their eyes, and a few women had even begun to sob.
I don't know who shouted loudly in the crowd: "Keep blocking!" After that, the crowd suddenly went crazy again, and everyone was desperately trying to carry the heavy beds, tables, chairs, and TVs from the 10th floor and above...... Most of the people struggled to use these things to keep piling up the stairs.
The dragon elephant watched all this with cold eyes.
By this time...... Few of these people even went to find a weapon to arm themselves.
Although many people are struggling to block the stairs.
But anyone who understands knows that if things don't turn around, how long can the limited furniture that people carry be blocked by this alone?
Instead of waiting for the enemy to block you in your house and kill at will, why not take advantage of this precious last bit of time to find a weapon and fight to the death...... This kind of cowardice from the bones, fear of war is the biggest shortcoming of most modern people.
Troubled times are likely to come—and the dragon elephant knows if this kind of mirage rift that connects the otherworld will continue to appear...... Sooner or later, the structure of human society on Earth will become unbearable and completely collapse!
Let's not mention the giant mirage that appears in the sky in reverse over the imperial capital, the Pacific Ocean, and Tokyo, except for a few creatures that can fly.
Even the impact of these two small mirages close to the ground that appeared in Jinshi and Shencheng one after another is by no means just showing this little impact now!
Today, perhaps, on the surface, is a small-scale invasion of some otherworldly monster and civilization.
With machine guns and artillery, we might be able to clean up these seemingly backward civilizations.
But what about tomorrow?
What about the day after tomorrow?
If this otherworldly rift continues to appear, where will the next city be? Los Angeles? Hamburg? London? Paris? Or is it any city in China that now has the most known cracks?
The dragon elephant was uneasy.
Because he found that the mirage fissure seems to have undergone a process similar to "experimental calibration" from its initial appearance to the present.
From the beginning, the first mirage crack appeared in the sky above the imperial capital.
By the second and third cracks, they appeared one after another.
When the fourth crack appeared in the gold market, it was already very different from the previous mirage - first of all, the fourth crack was directly close to the ground.
Then there is Shencheng.
The mirages seem to be smaller and smaller one by one.
One is also more precise than the other.
Although it is true that the scale of human cities today is huge...... But when you look at the entire earth, especially the size of the oceans, it's nothing!
And why do these cracks appear "coincidentally" over the city?
Five cracks.
Four paths blossom in the center of the city.
Only one appeared in the Pacific Ocean as if it had missed.
This near-aiming pattern made the dragon elephant feel a strong uneasiness even more......
There seems to be a powerful force pushing all this forward. And he didn't think it would be a good thing...... At least for now, the two places of Jinshi and Shencheng have been attacked by otherworldly monsters. On the contrary, the imperial capital, Tokyo, and the three mirages in the Pacific Ocean were still calm and did not cause any trouble.
Sinister to think...... Does this mean that in addition to the increasing frequency of mirage cracks and the more accurate positioning in cities, there is also the possibility that the world connected by the mirage cracks will become more and more dangerous in the future?
This kind of inference made the dragon elephant, who already had a lot of strength, feel a lot of pressure.
