Chapter 390: The First Battle
Su Hao's words caused a burst of laughter in the "worker bees" group, and the tense atmosphere was swept away.
"Leave one-third of the men to guard the baggage, and search the interior of this hall to guard and defend the spot. The rest of the people lined up in battle formation and went out with me to see what was going on. β
As he spoke, Su Hao put the backpack full of supplies on the ground, grabbed the battle axe in his hand, and walked towards the exit of the hall.
He never mentioned anything like blowing up the way with explosives.
That passage is really weird. What is that unshakable darkness? What is the mysterious light? But no matter what, the road behind him has been completely closed and there is no turning back.
β¦β¦
Walking out of the hall, Su Hao only felt that his eyes were stung by the sudden strong light, and he couldn't help but raise his left hand to block his forehead, looking at this new world from the shadow he had created.
It's a very humble camp. As far as the eye can see, almost all you can see are scattered wooden houses. They are made entirely of wood, with an average height of about three meters, which is about two and a half meters tall for giants. The houses were very crudely constructed, with a much African thatched hut style, but far less elaborate, almost made of wood with triangular brackets and covered with a thick layer of hay.
The huts were scattered inside the camp, there was no order, and the location of the construction was very haphazard. The atmosphere in the entire camp was panicked and tense, many people were running in all directions, strong men with weapons in their hands, and women, old people and children ran in the direction where Su Hao was. Perhaps because the building itself is made of stone, it is stronger and stronger.
About a few hundred people had gathered on the steps below the hall, all young children and emaciated old men. They all hold weapons in their hands, ranging from simple spears to clubs and machetes. These men had almost no clothes on them, only sparse animal skins around their crotches. The covering of the upper body of the woman is more simple, some of which are directly tied to the leaves of the thorn vine, or the shell of a fruit such as a coconut.
Su Hao stood on the steps, looked past the low shack, and directly saw the direction where the wooden fence wall was located in the distance.
It was fortifications made of thick logs. Wooden piles with sharpened tops are buried side by side into the ground, forming a solid wall. On the top of the wall stood a dense crowd of figures, both men and women. They ran back and forth in the narrow passages, struggling to fend off the intruders outside. Just between these constantly shaking figures, Su Hao also saw Villatora.
It's really special. Perhaps, as Vila Torra himself said, it is the priesthood here. He was already wearing a black linen robe, standing in front of a wooden pillar more than ten meters high, waving his hands towards the sky, and constantly letting out crazy shouts from his mouth, as if he was praying, as if he was performing some kind of ritual.
"Aren't you warriors summoned by the priests? Hurry up! β
An old man sitting on the steps panting for breath tilted his head, stared at Su Hao with eyes that were almost fire-breathing, and kept roaring in his mouth: "Quick! Hurry up! Kill all the damn monsters. This is your duty, it is your obligation, it is the reason you are here! β
Su Hao glanced down at the old man, and in the ample light, he could see these people more clearly.
They have dark skin, but they have a slightly lighter complexion than those of black Africans. The lips are thick, the cheekbones are high, and the protruding part of the forehead is especially noticeable. In terms of facial features, it is indeed similar to blacks. Perhaps due to lack of food, both children and the elderly are emaciated, and their eyes are very bulging, reminiscent of the hungry Somali victims.
It wasn't until now that Su Hao reacted: it wasn't that these people spoke the same language as himself, but that he could understand them.
Both the old man in front of him and the previous Viratola used a language with a strange tone. Su Hao was sure that he had never heard these syllables before, they spoke very quickly, and the way of pronunciation was extremely special, and among the seventeen major earth languages that Su Hao knew did not have it.
However, things are so strange, Su Hao has never studied this language, but he can understand and talk to each other fluently. It was as if he was born with this skill, an innate native language.
Su Hao was startled, subconsciously turned around, and when his eyes made contact with the other "worker bees" standing around, he found that his companion's eyes also flashed with the same surprise as himself.
"Queen bees" and "worker bees" are able to resonate with the mind in some cases. For example, now, Su Hao's personal consciousness has affected other people. At such a close distance, in this particular environment, all those who crossed the passage noticed something unusual.
An elderly "worker bee" muttered to himself thoughtfully: "Could it be those light ......?"
Su Hao fell into complete silence.
This is probably the only plausible explanation. After all, after entering the underwater pyramid, there is no contact with any other object. Looking down at the watch on his wrist, it was less than an hour since he entered the passage.
It's not too short, it's not too long.
Suddenly, there was a violent vibration from the wooden fence in the distance. The defenders standing at the top of the wall were suddenly thrown away like building blocks by the tremendous force, and the frenzied and hysterical screams were thrown into chaos. At the same time, the seemingly sturdy wooden fence was smashed from the outside, and countless sawdust, stones, and human bodies flew towards the interior of the camp. Right in the center of the gap, an unusually tall black figure more than five meters tall was revealed.
It was a pigman.
This surprised thought flashed through Su Hao's mind. For a moment, he had changed his mind.
If you look at the way mutated creatures are treated on Earth, it is indeed a pig man. It has an ugly head on its shoulders, and its shape is undoubtedly that of a pig. Thick and large ears and a thick and protruding nose are enough to indicate its lineage and genetic makeup. However, this terrible monster has no tameness like the pigs of the earth. Its mouth protrudes from its mouth with four curved fangs, more than thirty centimeters long. The fat belly is high, like a pregnant woman who is pregnant at term. It walked upright like a human, its legs thick and powerful, but its arms were constantly waving in the air, madly causing death and damage.
This huge body does contain terrifying power. It is unusually muscular, especially in the chest and legs, and the surface skin is between brown and black, with a rough and fine texture and texture. At first glance, it looks wrinkled and hard like the bark of a tree. It's not so much the skin as the armor.
Su Hao's pupils contracted suddenly.
His focus wasn't on the pig-like monster's physique and strength. Despite the distance of hundreds of meters, you can still feel the powerful aura emanating from the pigman. The word "mighty" is supposed to be for Villatora and the other giants of the camp. Because the ability of the pig people is comparable to them, that is, the Cheng dΓΉ that is slightly higher than the fifth-order strengthened people. But the difference in height and physique gives the pig people an absolute advantage. The wooden fence could not hold back its impact, and the formidable monster had rushed into the camp through the gap, grabbing a poor defender with his left hand and slamming it into the ground.
And that's not the most shocking part. Including Su Hao, all the "worker bees" clearly saw that the end of the pigman's right arm did not have a hand or claw at all, but a heavy weapon similar to a hammer.
The black hammer handle extends from the pigman's arm and is about two meters long. The hammer head section is large, with a diameter of about one meter and a half on visual inspection. From a distance, it was an octagonal-shaped weight. However, the most bizarre and unimaginable thing is that this weapon is not held in the hands of the pigman, but directly communicates with its arms, directly growing together to form a whole.
The pigmen are extremely flexible with the use of this weapon. With great ferocity, it grabbed a defender with its left hand, pressed it to the ground, raised its right arm high, and slammed it into the head of its desperate prey with the incomparable cruelty on its face. Suddenly, a scattered piece of red-and-white flesh and mud splattered on the ground.
The gap in the wall is still being filled with more monsters.
It is an agile creature with a head with sharp mouthparts, similar in appearance to a mosquito-like man on Earth, but about 1.5 meters tall. It also has legs, feet and limbs like humans, but its two arms have directly turned into sharp short swords.
There are also arms that have changed into short-handled axes, but have mutated creatures that resemble tigers, leopards, and beasts.
Su Hao's eyes have been chasing these monsters that rushed into the camp and slashed and slashed. His gaze was fixed on a tall, lanky mutant with a black body. The guy's left hand was a spear several meters long, and he was holding the handle of the gun with his right hand, piercing a giant defender who was caught off guard, lifting it high and letting out a terrible scream in mid-air.
Su Hao was muttering to himself, "Did you see it? β
The content of this sentence is exactly the same as the divergent thinking consciousness, which is sensed by every "worker bee" gathered around you. Almost at the same time, they nodded their heads in unison, and their movements were uniform, but they looked strange to onlookers.
More children and the elderly had gathered at the bottom of the steps. Younger women and powerful elders stood at the front, weapons of all kinds. The walls of people are not very close, the gaps are large, and many people are trembling slightly, their expressions full of despair and fear. They always kept looking back, looking at Su Hao and the others with anticipation and anger.
"Bastard! What the hell are you doing? β
The old man who had spoken before roared again, and his voice became louder than before. He waved his thin hands, and his shrunken belly rose and fell as his breathing intensified: "We have a lot of deaths. Sakaka was killed, and so was Hullulus Taima. Why don't you go up and help? Why not fight? β
Su Hao ignored the roar in his ears. His thinking tentacles are extending into the distance, and in this invisible, huge spider web of thinking, there are also mixed with the thinking consciousness of three hundred evolutionary "worker bees". They supplemented Su Hao's detection consciousness from all directions and angles, constantly adding details of their perception, enveloping the entire camp, and even crossing the wooden fence and touching more distant places.
"The basic appearance of these monsters is no different from the mutated creatures on Earth. The difference is only in the size and agility of the movement. β
"They have completely abandoned the four-legged way of moving. See that guy with a dog's head? Its two hind legs are very nimble, and its speed is not slower than when it runs on all fours. The bouncing ability, in particular, is simply amazing. β
"Why are their arms and arms all weapons? Is that the result of muscle variation or the evolution of the stratum corneum? It's incredible, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true. β
Su Hao's expression became more and more solemn.
In another time and space, that is, the future world where they fled, the evolution of mutated creatures has reached the "3" level. However, Su Hao rummaged through the military archives and did not find a single case of a monster like the one in front of him, whose arm directly evolved into a weapon form.
But then again, the evolution of the future world is not absolute. The defenders of the coastal zone in the Eastern Theater of Operations have killed crab-like humanoids. The chelates of those mutated creatures have changed. Some appeared with sharp ports that resembled forks, others that were completely merged together and had an increase in weight compared to before, becoming a hammer or something like that.
Su Hao has always believed that these are unrepresentative cases. Including him, researchers from the entire Academy of Sciences, the military, and even Wang Qinian himself never imagined that there would be such a terrible upheaval in the evolutionary path of mutated organisms. The monsters in front of them, whose hands, feet, limbs have evolved into weapons, may be the future form of mutated creatures on Earth. Fifty years, one hundred years, five hundred years...... No one knows what the future will look like, but Su Hao feels that this is the future of the earth.
"Why are you standing here in a daze? Aren't you warriors? Why is Table XiΓ n inferior to the worst coward? β
The thin old man kept scolding, he rushed up the steps, grabbed Su Hao's arm and shook it from side to side, scolding. The distance was too close, and saliva even sprayed on Su Hao's face.
"Shut the fuck up!"
Su Hao was furious, grabbed the old man's throat, slammed him to the ground, and rolled down the steps. The self-conscious creature kept screaming, and his head and body were covered in blood from the hard stone steps. Several children and other old people gathered around and helped them to sit up, and their eyes also projected angry gazes, and they all gathered on Su Hao.
Su Hao directly ignored this wordless threat.
He didn't like to be interrupted all of a sudden. What's more, the problems that happen in this world have nothing to do with you. As for what fighters and battles, these are all words from the mouth of Viratola.
It's no longer appropriate to use mutated creatures to describe the monster in front of you. "Mutant" should be a good name.
A "worker bee" stepped forward and said cautiously, "Your Excellency, what should we do now?" Continuing to watch? Or do you want to leave here with our baggage? β
Su Hao grasped the battle axe in his left hand and changed it to his right hand, glanced at the old man covered in blood at the bottom of the steps, and let out a cold snort from his nostrils: "Since they call us warriors, let's show our strength more or less." Half of the men were left to guard the supplies and the hall, and the rest went with me. Pay attention to saving ammunition and use hand-to-hand weapons whenever possible. β
As he spoke, Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, his body suddenly contracted, bent like a bow and arrow, and his legs suddenly exerted force, like a cannonball coming out of his disembowel, rushing straight towards the fiercest place in front of him.
In all fairness, Su Hao was really reluctant to get involved in this damn battle.
If you are not mistaken, these giants are the same as the Pyramid of the Undersea Pyramid of Risino and Ahab, the so-called Atlanteans.
Why should Lao Tzu help them?
Let more advanced civilization mongrels survive and continue to release viruses on Earth?
But no matter what, it's a strange world after all. To get more out of these mongrels about this, you have to keep them alive.
Su Hao wielded a battle axe, shuttling back and forth among the black mutant crowd. He didn't exert much effort, and the tomahawk in his hand made a series of flashes of light. The light flickered, and each target's body appeared to be split in a different way. The wounds were mostly on the neck and chest, and the incisions were smooth, with skulls and broken limbs constantly flying up and falling heavily. Su Hao only felt that the feeling coming from the edge of the tomahawk was a little jerky and stagnant, just like cutting frozen meat with a kitchen knife that had been dull for a long time, and there was no sense of fluency at all. However, with his great strength, he can still kill with a single hit.
Su Hao tried to manipulate microorganisms on Earth using mental consciousness. He regretted to find that the gravity of the planet under his feet was too great, and the strong adsorption force even distorted the tentacles of his thinking. Su Hao could no longer increase the sensitivity of the consciousness tentacles to the extreme, and the detection range also decreased exponentially with gravity. Now, his mind search radius was only equivalent to the fifth-order enhancer period, or even weaker.
Too strong a gravitational pull also has an effect on giants, natives, and mutants. Although the comprehensive strength of the natives is equivalent to "slaves", they are only physical bodies that are no different from ordinary people on the earth. The combat effectiveness of mutants is not much different from them, but their skills are more flexible and they are more fearless of death.
More than a hundred heavily armed "worker bees" entered the battle, which immediately changed the entire tide of battle.
They were like the tallest and fastest waves in a tsunami, crushing towards their targets like mountains and walls. Although the strength of the evolutionary "worker bee" is not as good as Su Hao, it is enough to kill any mutated creature in front of it. No matter what form the opponent is, it is a one-shot kill. Distortions were created. Su Hao could no longer increase the sensitivity of the consciousness tentacles to the extreme, and the detection range also decreased exponentially with gravity.
