Chapter 389: Exotic
Su Hao stopped and looked in the direction guided by the "worker bee".
An extremely faint air stream was coming from ahead, wet and cold, with an indescribable freshness.
Su Hao's mind instantly became nervous and focused: "Is it the wind?" β
The "worker bee" standing behind him nodded subconsciously: "Yes, there is wind there, and there is an exit." β
saw the end of the journey, but Su Hao did not have the slightest joy. He pulled out a special carbon battle axe from his backpack with his backhand and slammed it into the palm of his hand.
The strength of evolutionary people far exceeds that of ordinary people, and the comprehensive strength of alpha evolutionaries is about three times that of ordinary evolutionary people. Guns in the normal sense of the word can no longer be used as weapons. Wang Qinian used the precious alloy of the Academy of Sciences to create a large-caliber pistol for Su Hao that could barely be used and would not be instantly disintegrated and deformed by a slight button of his finger.
The same goes for carbon tomahawks. The Academy of Sciences has created a total of five hundred battle axes for all the evolutionary "worker bees" who left with Su Hao. The materials used are all special alloys with extremely high density. This kind of cold weapon is incredibly heavy, but it is just right for the body and wrist strength of an alpha evolved person. As for the assault rifles and large-caliber shoulder-fired machine guns they carry, they have been regarded by Su Hao as toys to deal with ordinary people.
He himself didn't know what kind of opponent he would face behind the light gate. However, it's always good to be a little more prepared. Perhaps, weapons on Earth can still work, and they work well.
Along the way, Su Hao kept releasing his thinking tentacles, but he was always unable to penetrate the darkness behind him and the mysterious light in front of him. Until the moment I felt the air flow in front of me, the tentacles of my mind that had been blocked for a long time finally broke through and continued to extend towards the front.
Soon, Su Hao had already walked out of the end of the passage.
It's a vast hall. The architectural style is exactly the same as the previous submarine pyramids. Without the obstruction of the walls on both sides, Su Hao's perception range immediately expanded. He found the outside of the hall to be an extremely empty world. Inside the hall, my eyes saw three beings like myself, walking upright on their legs.
Undoubtedly, it was clearly human.
This judgment comes entirely from Su Hao's perception of each other's physical appearance. They...... Yes, until the situation is not clear, it can only be called "them". Like Sinno and Ahab, who were killed before, they were giants about two and a half meters tall. They wear **** on the top and pants on the bottom that resemble a women's skirt. Judging by the surface gloss, it may be cortex.
The walls around the hall were lit with torches, which were not very numerous, barely providing a limited amount of light. The torches are supposed to resemble large chunks of pine on earth, the flames are burning unusually vigorously, making a constant "crackling" sound, the smoke is very large, and the roofs and walls above have been completely blackened.
The three giants were obviously surprised by Su Hao and the others who walked out of the passage. They came over with wary faces, standing five or six meters away, staring at the outsiders with disbelief and immense joy.
"Are you new warriors?"
The person who said this was an old man in the middle. He was slightly shorter than the two young men next to him, and the skin on his body and face had long since loosened, like layers of viscous, gray batter stacked on top of each other. There were no hairs on the top of his bald head, and he was very thin, and he could see neat and thin ribs, and the two arms with flesh clinging to the bones looked very creepy. It was as if it wasn't a human at all, but a living skeleton wrapped in black skin.
Su Hao held the carbon battle axe diagonally in his hand and carefully looked at the three strangers standing in front of him. In addition to the old man in the middle, the other two giants looked very much like middle-aged humans in their forties. They are strong, with well-developed pectoral muscles, unusually thick arms and legs, but there is always an uncomfortable arrogance in their eyes. But in terms of comprehensive personality, it is still biased towards the dry and thin category.
No one answered the old man's question. Two "worker bees" took out the air analyzer from their pockets and tested the gas composition in the hall. While they were doing these things, one of the middle-aged giants was already displeased. With anger on its face, it was about to take a step forward, but the old man reached out and grabbed his arm.
In a moment, the "worker bee" had already completed the gas quality test: "Your Excellency, the oxygen content here is amazingly high, it can completely meet normal breathing, and the gas purity is more than four times higher than that of the earth. β
Su Hao nodded silently.
It should be so, and it can only be so.
Inside the passage, when the mysterious light disappeared, Su Hao had already sensed the difference in the surrounding environment. The rock structures underfoot and on both sides of the walls are very fine and surprisingly dense. He picked up a finger-sized piece of gravel from the ground and crushed it with great effort.
Walking out of the aisle and into the hall, the strange feeling is even more obvious.
The soles of his feet no longer feel soft and collapsed all the time, and the ground is very hard, which makes Su Hao once again feel like he was running, jumping, and walking when he was still an ordinary person. After becoming an Alpha Evolver, the soil structure of the earth has become very soft for him, and even walking on dry and hard ground is like trekking through snow or mire. Now, no footprints have been left on the ground in the hall. This suggests that the rocks that make up the floor are indeed different from the original world, and that they are hard and dense enough to load alpha-hardened people.
There's a more special feeling.
Su Hao raised his left hand, frowned, and squeezed it hard in the air.
He was surprised to find that his strength seemed to have disappeared a lot.
Behind him, there were surprised and unexpected comments from other "worker bees".
"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm getting heavier?"
"Why do I have trouble walking? It seems that the body has become very heavy, like a lot of lead is tied up during daily training? β
"I don't have enough strength, there's something weird about this place."
Countless discussions sounded, and Su Hao's expression became solemn. At this time, the "worker bees" that had detected the composition of the air came forward again, and said in a rather nervous and extremely strict tone: "Your Excellency, this is no longer the earth. Probably another world. The gravity here far exceeds the familiar Cheng dΓΉ, and it also suppresses the exertion of our abilities. β
Yes, gravity.
Only in this way is the most consistent explanation for the status quo.
The old man seemed to see through the doubts in Su Hao's heart, took two steps forward, and said seriously: "Stranger, I know that you must have a lot of doubts and questions in your heart. Every warrior who just walks into this hall is just like you. The environment here is completely different from your original world. It's a place that limits you from what you really do, but it's fair because it's the same for everyone, including us. β
Su Hao narrowed his eyes and scanned the old man with a vigilant gaze.
It is not an evolutionary man.
Neither were the other two middle-aged men.
The strength of the old man is only equivalent to a fifth-order enhancer at most, and the two men are stronger, but they are almost the same as Zhang Wen and Yang Junhao's "slave" Cheng DΓΉ.
Su Hao already felt the constraints and restrictions imposed on him by the special environment here. There is no doubt that the gravitational pull here is indeed much greater than that of Earth, so much so that it is now equivalent to the period when the booster was just injected. No...... It should be stronger than it was then, second-order, third-order, or fourth-order. But no matter what, it will not be able to exert the level of evolutionary human beings that are unprecedentedly powerful on Earth.
Su Hao stared at the old man standing in front of him and asked, "What kind of place is this?" β
An ugly smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled and withered face: "You can call this place the "Divine Domain" or the "Dead Domain". No matter how you call it, the name doesn't have any real meaning. β
Su Hao continued to ask, "What's your name?" β
The old man turned his gaze to Su Hao's crowd. To be precise, it should be turned to the backpack on the "worker bee". He kept licking his shriveled lips and replied, "My name is Veratora, and I am the priest here. β
Without waiting for Su Hao to speak, Vilatola had already asked a new question: "You guys...... Do you have food? β
This is a surprising and surprising question. Not only Su Hao, but even the other "worker bees" standing behind him couldn't help but stop their movements and looked at Villatora who opened his mouth to ask questions in surprise.
Compared to the first contact a few minutes ago, the old man looked thinner.
The two rows of ribs on its chest were so distinct, the sunken skin was so clear, and the high cheekbones and shrunken chin cast a terrifying shadow in the flickering firelight. This qiΔ is clearly a consequence of malnutrition. Especially from the side, this guy's belly is almost close to each other's back, and the thickness in the middle is no more than 20 centimeters at most.
Su Hao extended his gaze to the other two men standing in the back position.
They still have arrogance in their eyes. However, Su Hao doesn't think so anymore. It was most likely the result of Sinoth and Ahab being killed by themselves, and it was probably the result of fire and dim light. They're strong, but they're still thin overall. The bulging muscles in the chest are not very large, and the face is very dark, it is difficult to say whether it is because of the dim light in the hall? Or is it the result of hunger?
After being silent for a few seconds, Su Hao took out a special compressed biscuit from his backpack and handed it over.
This is also Wang Qinian's new invention. The old fat man directly pressed the common raw materials of compressed dry food such as dehydrated beef jerky powder, salt, and soybeans with high density, and processed them twice and three times in a special environment of high pressure to make this special compressed biscuit that was slightly larger than ordinary combat rations and provided more than 20 times the energy. It's incredibly hard, with so high cholesterol and fat content that even a hammer can't shatter it. Even if it is distributed to ordinary people, it can only be eaten after throwing it into a pot and boiling it for a long time. However, for fourth-order strengthened people and evolved people, they are completely able to bite with their teeth and eat the best dry food in their stomachs.
Is there food?
This question made Su Hao's heart palpitate for a while. He really wanted to reject the old man called Vilatola, but instinctive consciousness drove him to make the act of taking the cookies out of his backpack.
Holding a two-and-two-heavy biscuit in his hand, it immediately attracted the attention of the other two giants.
Vilatola broke the biscuit into three and handed it to the two of them. They hold the biscuits in both hands and slowly stuff them into their mouths, chewing slowly, both in their expressions and actions. It was as if it was no ordinary food at all, but a precious relic.
"It's the first time I've tasted something so delicious."
Veratora kept her eyes closed as she chewed on the cookies. It wasn't until the food in his mouth swallowed his throat that he opened his eyes and smiled with great comfort and satisfaction: "It's been a long time since a warrior brought food. Nothing but themselves. β
Su Hao keenly grasped the question in the old man's words: "You mean, there are a lot of people who have appeared from here?" β
"It's been more than six hundred years, and you are the first warriors to come out of this passage!"
A hint of pride appeared on Vilatola's old face: "This is the area established by the main god, and the main god created this passage. The Lord God tells us that those who come out of here are warriors. There are many more similar passages, but there is only one here. β
As he spoke, Verato stretched his finger and pointed to the pile of boxes in the side corner, "You can find your favorite weapons there." This world is different from your original world. That's what every warrior said when they first arrived. With the guidance of those who preceded us, we have prepared your weapons in advance. β
It was a pile of boxes made of broken wooden planks that were randomly nailed together. Hundreds of long knives, axes, spears and other cold weapons were neatly placed inside.
Su Hao picked up an axe more than two meters long from the box, and found that the surface of this thing was mottled, with many fine marks scratched by sharp weapons, and the axe blade also had a few obvious notches. The handle of the axe is very smooth, it seems to be constantly grasped, and the maintenance of the axe itself is so-so, although the blade is notched, it is sharpened, and even a thin layer of grease is rubbed.
The weapons were crudely crafted, and there was no craftsmanship to speak of. The feeling of starting was very heavy, Su Hao checked it, and felt that it was in line with the strength that an evolved person should have, and the weight and mass far exceeded that of similar weapons on the earth.
Su Hao picked up the carbon battle axe he brought from the earth and compared it with the crude battle axe in his hand. Although the metal composition of the crude tomahawk is unknown, the hardness and texture are significantly better than those of the carbon tomahawk. In order to prove his judgment, Su Hao made a ruthless decision, picked up the crude battle axe, aimed at the carbon battle axe, and slashed at the carbon battle axe, and the latter broke off from the middle with a "clang".
"Change all the weapons you have."
Su Hao turned around and issued orders to the other "worker bees". He strode up to Vilatola, demonstratively twisted the new axe in his hand, and said lightly: "You just said that we are all warriors? β
Veratora obviously saw through the thoughts in his head, and quickly explained, "That's what the Lord God said. β
Su Hao raised his eyebrows: "Who is the main god?" β
"The Lord God is the Lord God, and He is the one and greatest being."
A meaningful smile appeared on Veratora's face: "Every warrior has the same problem as you when they first come here. Time will tell you slowly. You'll know all the answers you want. β
Maybe for the sake of the cookie just now, Vilatola obviously wanted to say something more to Su Hao. Just as it continued to speak, Su Hao suddenly felt a faint tremor coming from his feet. The movement was very loud, and the tremor was very strong, but it was obvious that this was not an earthquake, but it made Su Hao subconsciously think of the scene when he was on Earth, when hundreds of heavy tank armored divisions rumbled past him.
Villatola's face changed suddenly, and he was instantly filled with unprecedented solemnity and nervousness: "Oh my God! Here they are! Here they are again! β
Su Hao grabbed the weapon in his hand and asked hurriedly, "Who are they?" β
"It's our enemy."
Perhaps feeling that the explanation was not sufficient, Viratola, who had already turned around and ran briskly towards the exit of the hall, said urgently without looking back: "This is also the most important mission of the Lord God to bring you into this world. β
It ran fast, followed by two middle-aged giants. The entrance to the hall is also an arched door, which shines in a bright light, creating a long diagonal light curtain on the floor on the side of the hall. This is the effect of natural light, not the diffuse radiation of the pyramids under the sea, where nothing can be seen but light.
A "worker bee" was about to rush out with Villatora and the others, but Su Hao grabbed his arm and said in a low voice: "Don't be so anxious. If you move slowly, you don't need to run as fast. We don't know anything, we don't know anything, so let's take a moment to observe and see what happens. β
The "worker bee" is a young man in his twenties. Of course, he absolutely obeyed Su Hao's orders, but he was obviously confused by these words: "Your Excellency, didn't those people just say that there is an enemy outside?" Why ......"
"That's their enemy."
Su Hao sneered and shook his head: "I never understood why you wanted us to get us to this place?" Now, more or less there is a preliminary concept. It should be a very dense planet, or some space with a similar environment. Did you see those three people? Their comprehensive strength is equivalent to that of a fifth-order strengthened person on the earth, or even higher. Gravity here is many times stronger than that of Earth, and physical fitness is of course limited. If my assumptions are correct, those people are the equivalent of ordinary humans on Earth. And we are the more powerful beings than them. β
After a pause, Su Hao continued to say in a cold and calm voice: "You have also heard, they call us warriors, and what is the most important mission for us to come here. Damn it! We don't even know what this place is, why should we help them fight? Remember, from now on, take care of every one of our supplies, especially food and medicine. These guys are so poor that they can't even eat, where do they have any strength to fight? β
