Chapter 6 From the Sea
Robbio's face darkened as he slumped to the ground, sniffing at the ground like a beast, and then sped toward a bush of trees in the distance. Kirby took a deep breath, swapped the revolver in his left hand, and with a movement of his right wrist, a coiled black alloy thread fell into his palm, and then his body ejected like a flying bullet. This two-meter-long, incomparably tough alloy wire is Kirby's true weapon. As for the revolver, even if it is replaced with special ammunition, it is just a tool used to clean ordinary targets.
By the time Kirby ran to the bushes, Robbio had already made a few rounds of digging inside. He straightened up and said gloomily, "This is where our soldiers should have disappeared." But I still haven't found any traces! Nothing! Kirby, we're definitely being targeted by those 'things', what should we do? β
Kirby narrowed his deep-set eyes, turned slowly, and glanced around. Cloudy, shrubland, bare forest, undulating weeds, all of them looked so familiar, so natural, yet ......
So weird!
He couldn't tell what the problem was, but he knew something was wrong. In fact, the evidence is very strong, for example, right under their noses, a warrior quietly disappeared, as if the world had evaporated. And Robbio, who is sharper than a hound, can't find any traces and clues!
But there must be something else wrong with that.
The wrinkles on Kirby's weather-beaten face deepened, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his narrowed eyes scanned the surrounding QiΔ. And his ears were constantly stirring, and the sound of the wind, the grass, the distant tides, and other more subtle sounds seemed to pass through an amplifier, amplified to several times the volume of the normal situation, constantly hitting his eardrums. A drop of sweat poured out of his hairline, ran down the undulating old skin, pooled on his jaw, and then fell, and finally shattered against the medal on the chest of his uniform.
It was just a very slight sound, but it made Kirby's whole body jump!
"I got it!!" As he said this, Kirby's voice suddenly became very dry, as if he hadn't drunk water in days. He looked around and said slowly, "Robbio, haven't you noticed that this area, except for us and these trees and grasses, there is no life, not even a single bug. β
Robbio's face also changed, and he thought back and said, "It's the same in the coconut grove!" β
"yes!" Kirby suddenly relaxed, took out a cigar, lit it, and smoked silently. Robbio waited quietly, his instinct that Kirby was enjoying this cigar as if it were the last one in his life. It wasn't until the whole cigar was finished that Kirby reluctantly threw it away, saying, "I think I might have a way to know what's going on." β
Robbio also knows that Kirby has a gifted bizarre ability to see what happened some time ago. Otherwise, Kirby, who is only known for his occult skills, is not very outstanding in combat ability, and he is not at all the commander of an expatriate force. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, Robio is much stronger than Kirby, but he has no dissatisfaction with being his deputy. In addition to Kirby's vast experience, being with a commander with occult knowledge can give him a bit of good luck. This is already common knowledge in their area.
However, even at the most desperate moment, Robbio did not urge or remind Kirby to use that ability, perhaps in his subconscious, he already sensed with a beastly intuition that Kirby might have some unpredictable results when using his natural ability.
Kirby was also hesitating, and after a while, he finally made up his mind. This kind of empty consumption is not the solution, if you can detect what is causing such a dead field, then it is really valuable. If time continues to pass, it will be beyond his reach. Kabik overcame the vague uneasiness in his heart, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually turned confused. Gradually, Kirby's pupils began to fade and merge with the whites of her eyes.
Robbio held his breath, knowing that Kirby had now reached a critical moment to use his abilities.
"This ...... What is it!! As if he had seen something extremely terrifying, Kirby suddenly cried out! Immediately afterwards, a layer of bright red suddenly appeared on his face, and his eyes, which were originally white, suddenly turned blood-red, and then with a pounce, two blood lines shot out of his eyes, and they squirted out more than two meters away!
Kirby snorted and fell on his back. There were only two bloody holes left in his eyes!
Robbio was taken aback and threw himself at Kirby's side, feeling a little at a loss for a moment. Kirby trembled and reached out, grabbed the hand that Robbio reached out to help him, and then pushed it out, saying intermittently, "Quick...... Come on...... Fast! β¦β¦ I can't say, I can't say anything......"
Robbio wondered what Kirby had seen, but Kirby was clearly mortally injured and refused to say what he saw. Thinking of Kirby's inexplicable serious injuries and near-death, his intuition told SΓΉ Robbio that if Kirby had spoken out and let him hear it, then he would have the same fate, including all the fighters on the other side of the truck.
To do your best to leave! Only by leaving this land that has been shrouded in death can it be safe! The beast's instinct made Robbio feel that he had to get out of here as much as he could, and that he couldn't take Kirby with him.
He struggled and shook Kirby's hand hard, and Hodi stood up, rushing back to the truck parking and into the cab faster than he had come. A minute later, all the fighters were back in their cars, and the truck turned around and roared into the bush as it went. Along the way, Robbio was so focused on driving that he forced himself not to think about anything about Kirby. But he couldn't help but pay attention to the ground around him, looking for signs of life. However, after driving more than ten kilometers, there are no signs of life! Sweat poured down from Robbio's body, completely soaking his uniform and accumulating water stains on his seat.
Just a few kilometers away, Su was sitting on a rock, one hand on his jaw and the other on his knee, lost in thought. He is naked, presenting the flawless human body in its entirety, and the charm that emanates from it when contemplating it is so striking. If it is only about appearance, then his face is no worse than anyone else, whether it is a man or a woman. But such a beautiful and somewhat feminine face will not be considered a woman's face under any circumstances or from any angle. Su didn't stare at him, nor did he exude momentum and coercion, but when everyone saw him, they would feel an invisible faint pressure, and they would experience the majesty of not being angry but threatening. In fact, this is a kind of fear of being too perfect.
Su kept thinking, there was quite an empty space under the hard skull, and the five thinking centers only occupied a small corner of the cranial cavity. Now all the centers of thought are in full swing, analyzing and deducing the intelligence and information that has been obtained. His abdominal cavity was also empty, and the entire chest and abdomen had become a huge digestive cavity, and only when he got more food and converted enough energy could he generate new organs and add new functions to the body.
In front of Sue, kneeling was the missing warrior. He was prostrate on the ground with great respect. But the trembling body showed his extreme fear. From time to time, he kowtowed to Su a few times, muttered a few more words, and then fell on the ground for a long time. He had several small, inconspicuous wounds on his body, which were the marks left by Sue when he was tortured. Just by looking at the primitive, bloodthirsty, and wild warrior with so much fear right now, you know that the pain caused by these wounds is by no means as inconspicuous as it seems.
So Su only made a few moves before the indigenous warrior confided what he knew. Language is not a barrier, although the indigenous warriors do not speak English as the common language of the Bloody Parliament.
In the process of memory compression and restoration, many of Su's original knowledge were rearranged and classified, analyzed according to certain rules, and then stored. Now, Sue only knew that the native spoke a Latin language, which was enough for Sue to understand. It doesn't really matter which language is spoken in Latin. Anyway, all human languages, for Sue, are as simple as a child's stick figure.
The language is simple, but the information brought to Sue is rich.
From the descriptions of the indigenous warriors, Su learned that the climate of the landing place was hot, and everywhere there were dense rainforests, or clumps of trees. There are large coconut groves along the seaside. There is abundant rainfall, rivers and minerals. Because of the abundance of food, the depths of the rainforest are a paradise for mutant creatures. It is home to a variety of strange and ferocious animals, but even more distinctive are the wide variety of insects, most of which are highly poisonous. Carnivorous plants are another feature of the region, and their existence also makes the rainforest full of traps.
In this vast and primitive land, human beings are not only rare, but numerous, and even built a kingdom of religion and state! Most of the inhabitants of the kingdom are such small and sturdy natives. Their body structure is special, and their thick and tough skin can not only resist stabbing and bites, but also effectively block radiation, which is simply an all-round leather armor. The middle and upper layers of the kingdom were made up of whites and a small number of people of other colors, but none of them were native. Aside from slavery and hard labor, the best way out for the natives was to become soldiers. And those guys who are lucky enough can even mix up with a company commander to do it, but that's the end of it.
What made Sue ponder was that this indigenous warrior was also capable, and not incapacitating. First-order strength, speed, defense, agility enhancements, plus first-order weapon control. The five first-order abilities, while only five evolution points are required to spawn, have turned this humble native warrior into a killing machine on a par with the most elite special forces of the old era. Although there is no ability to perceive, the innate innate keen perception can make up for the shortfall. It's a simple, efficient, and economical solution that maximizes combat effectiveness at minimal cost and does little damage to the fighter's body. The Indigenous Warriors have a stronger physique than most of the Wilderness Outcasts Su has seen, so ordinary people are able to develop abilities equivalent to five evolution points, compared to the average level of three Wanderers.
The problem was that, apart from the two obvious commanders, the other Native Warriors had the same abilities as the one in front of him! Even the dragon riders who are trained in batches are very different from each other. Because everyone's talent potential is different, the genetic enhancement potions that can be obtained are also different. Judging from the accounts of the indigenous warriors, in the second year after he was selected to join the army, he began to inject ability potions, and immediately formed five first-order abilities. His comrades-in-arms were also injected in their second year in the army. Of course, there is a reason why the Indigenous Warriors are stronger, but at least it shows that this force is not inferior to the Bloody Council in the research and application of mid- and low-level abilities, or even surpasses.
After obtaining the information, Su began to analyze and deduce the composition and characteristics of the local forces, but the processing ability of the five thinking centers was insufficient, and it would take at least an hour to get the preliminary results. Su was not in a hurry, time had lost its meaning to him, and Su just sat dumbfounded, waiting for the results of the analysis. He only moved once in the whole process. At that time, Su suddenly sneered, stretched out his hand and tapped twice in front of him, and then regained his composure.
Su Ming didn't poke anything, but the natives with keen senses seemed to hear a faint scream in the distance.
After a full hour, the analysis ended. The conclusion is simple, but it also sketches a prototype. How accurate it is needs to be compared with the actual situation.
Su finally turned his head, looked at the native, and asked, "Where can I find food?" β
Looking at Su's hollow left eye and deep right eye, the indigenous warrior suddenly trembled. In this era of food scarcity, they also occasionally fed on captured enemies. And he saw a palpable hunger in Sue's eyes!
The native warrior snorted desperately, begging Sue not to eat him. The thought of being eaten in one bite made the murderous indigenous warrior unable to bear the fear!
"Why can't I eat you?" Sue asked patiently and calmly.
As soon as they heard that there seemed to be a turning point, the indigenous warrior immediately spoke, and dozens of various reasons poured out. Whether the reason was reasonable or absurd, Sue patiently asked and asked him. In just a few minutes of Q&A, Su's language gradually became fluent, and her pronunciation became more and more pure, and finally she was as fluent as her native language.
Mother tongue? Su suddenly had some doubts about this concept. Now when he thinks of the word mother tongue, the first thing that comes into his consciousness is the symbols of different colors, incomparably complex structures, and can be infinitely decomposed. The amount of information contained in one of these symbols could hold an entire library.
Sue just thought about it and put the issue of her mother tongue aside. Now for him, the events to be done are in order of priority, which are finding enough food, figuring out where he is, perfecting his body, evolving his abilities, and finally, ......
What to do in the end, Sue has no mature idea for the time being.
The inside of his body was now nearly blank. After digesting and absorbing nutrients and energy in a manner that resembled combustion, most of the original human organs were completely useless to Sue. However, when he constructed his body, he still constructed a complete human male genital. Although in the process, instinct constantly reminded him that at this stage there are more than 300,000 more optimized and less expensive options to choose from compared to human reproductive systems. And when evolution matures, there will be dozens of times more choices. For example, if you only want to reproduce, there is a super reproductive system that can produce hundreds of thousands of germ cells carrying genetic information at once. It produces multicellular tissue, the size of a small bug, capable of flying and swimming, and can survive for more than seven days, moving more than 300 kilometers in air and 50 kilometers underwater. Able to choose a suitable mother to breed by yourself, and the guarantee of birth is pure Su's bloodline, and it will not be contaminated by the mother's genes at all.
However, on the premise of retaining the human appearance, Su also chose the body structure with the greatest possibility of upgrading and improving in the future from the scheme provided by instinct. Figuratively speaking, the current Su is like a machine with blank slots everywhere, ready to replenish functional components. Evolutionary points will still play a role, which also means that the risk of genetic collapse is also present in Sue. A system with genes as an intrinsic link is a mature and effective system on this planet and in this world. Based on the knowledge hidden in his right eye, Su realized that if he wanted to circumvent this system, he would have to pay a very high price, and it would be completely more than worth the loss.
In a trance, when Su was first entering the Dark Dragoon, he needed money, food, weapons, and a lot of evolution points. The difference is that now Su can generate all kinds of abilities as he wants, as long as he has enough evolution points. Moreover, after the successful activation of his right eye, Su is perceiving and scanning the world all the time, and when needed, he can generate new abilities that adapt to this world, even if this ability has never appeared. And his current body, in terms of strength, is already equivalent to a person who has been strengthened by the third order, although Su has not recovered any ability so far, but the ability of fault detection has not disappeared with the process of being broken and reborn, but has solidified and become part of Su's innate ability.
With Sue mastering the local language, the conversation between him and the native warriors finally came to an end. Looking at the indigenous warrior who showed a look of despair, but still didn't dare to resist, Su waved his hand and said, "I won't eat you, and I don't want to kill you, you can go." It's just that you can't appear in front of anyone for a month. β
The native warrior was taken aback, and he first kowtowed a few times before standing up and slowly retreating into the distance. It wasn't until he withdrew more than ten meters away that he suddenly turned around and rushed into the jungle like crazy.
Su had no intention of repenting, and surviving alone in the jungle for a month was not easy for these indigenous warriors, but it was not so much that it would not be impossible to survive. He roughly discerned the direction and began to run. He runs with light but powerful movements, which can be very uncomfortable to look at, but very fast. A few minutes later, Sue was standing next to an improvised road. Looking down at the truck wheel print that had just been pressed, Su smiled, and jogged along the wheel print without hurrying.
According to the confessions of the indigenous warriors, about thirty kilometers away, there was a large settlement, which was exactly where Sue was looking for.
Animals large and small that rely on instinct to survive can run out, and it's not so easy to move in a settlement, right? D
