Chapter 70: The Great Disappointment
It was night, dark clouds were thick, and the north wind was howling......
When the last bonfire was extinguished, the noisy village fell silent again, and completely returned to the embrace of the goddess of the night......
The whole village was silent......
Under the erosion of wind and rain, the stone powder has peeled off, the tattered walls, the rusty anti-theft nets, anti-theft windows, the eaves are full of holes, and even the eaves of the beams have been exposed, and there are grass, vines and weeds crawling all over the eaves......
There are no lights, no neighbors coming and going, only under the cold wind, weeds and branches rubbing and slapping on the walls, and all kinds of strange sounds from time to time, there are clear sounds constantly coming out from all corners of the village, but it gives people a feeling of silence, so quiet that people feel panicked, as if this is a ghost domain without any life!
Due to the entertainment life of the night, there is an extreme lack of ......
Xia Jian and his entourage had to rest after dinner, as soon as it was dark, they all rested after a short rest!
Those who are diligent may take advantage of a little private space before going to bed to seize the time to practice, and some people will even take advantage of this time to exchange feelings with their new mounts and new partners......
Everything is done in silence!
But it didn't last long......
As the first snoring sound came out of the crowd, soon even these small movements were completely gone!
I don't know how long it has been......
'Boom la la ......'
In a corner of the dead village, a series of birds flapped their wings. The sound that was made......
If anyone has night vision at this time, they will definitely notice that there is an owl-like bird creature at this time. It's constantly hovering over this village!
A pair of green pupils, emitting a cold glow under the night sky, kept observing the village at night......
It circled four or five times above the village
After finding a big tree next to the room where Xia Jian and his party had stayed, they spread their wings and fell, and their sharp claws clasped the branch the thickness of the baby's arm......
'Click......'
With the crisp sound of the soo, it was the mutant owl that landed on the branches, shaking off a lot of snow on the branches!!
I don't know if it's a coincidence......
Directly across from the branch where the owl was. It happened to be the glass window of the house where Xia Jian was resting, standing in the direction where the owl was, impartial. Just enough to observe most of the house!
So what is Xia Jian's situation at this time?
A group of people were lying on the ground staggered, not only did the bonfire used for heating go out and no one cared, but even the soldiers who had been placed next to the window to stand guard were already asleep on their chairs at this time......
When those woods in the kitchen are burning. Neurotoxins emitted. Finally it worked!!
These toxins seem to be very inconspicuous and seem to be harmless, but they can unconsciously relax people's tense spirits and gradually relax their vigilance!
And this influence is still a silent psychological inducement!!
Under normal circumstances, no matter how cautious you are, it is difficult to notice that something is wrong!
See this scene in the house......
An owl standing on a branch outside the window. Blinked slightly, in those green cold eyes. unexpectedly revealed a rather humane smug eye......
'Goo ......'
Next, the mutant owl leaned its neck and let out a few cries!
Then spread their wings......
'Bang la ......la' flapped his wings and flew high......
………………
After flying again, the owl was significantly larger than a normal owl, and the mutated owl, which was about the size of a vulture, did not fly far......
Instead, it circled over the village......
Look at it......
It's not so much preying on prey as it is watching something!!
Really......
Less than five minutes......
'Goo ......'
To the east of the village, there was also a sound in the distance, not much different from the sound of the owl crying just now!
It's just that if there is a person who is very familiar with the habits of birds here, if you listen carefully, you will definitely find that these cries are not really owl calls, but someone is imitating the owl calls!!
But......
Not long after the owl calls, which were clearly imitated by humans, came out, the owl that had been hovering in the middle of the village seemed to be replying, and also called a few times......
Got an owl reply......
'Click...... Click......'
To the east of the village, there was a sudden sound of heavy objects stepping on the snow!!
However, this sound is not like the sound of the soles of human shoes stepping on snow!!
And follow the direction from which the sound came from, and there are no living creatures, including humans, in that area!!
In fact, not only can you not see any biological activity......
Even on the snow where the sound was heard, there were no footprints left by any creatures!!
Oh!
Wrong......
In fact, if you look closely in this direction, you can see that there are several places in this area that are slightly distorted......
It feels like there's something transparent, hiding here!!
Could it be some invisibility human or some other creature?
'Click......'
The sound of heavy objects pressing on the snow was heard again......
This time I can see it more clearly!
In an area of about a few square meters, the slightly uneven snowdrifts, weeds, branches, and so on the snow were all flattened by something!
It's like something is gliding through the snow......
It's just that this thing is invisible, just with the eyes. Can't find it at all!
………………
It has the ability to become invisible......
Plus this method of being able to move through the snow without leaving a trace......
When these two are added together, in the evening. It's not surprising that Xia Jian couldn't find any useful clues in this village!!
It's just that......
Are these creatures hidden in the shadows and able to become invisible human beings? Or is it some kind of mutated creature, or a monster of the blood clan or demon race?
What is the purpose of them hiding here, so carefully laying out this game?
These are unknown for the time being!!
But the answer will soon be revealed......
These are invisible. Even creatures that are able to hide their breath and traces of movement move quickly in the snow......
After confirming the location of Xia Jian and his party, it took them less than five minutes. From the entrance of the village, they came to the outside of the house where Xia Jian and them were resting!!
Moments later......
It should have been confirmed that Xia Jian and his party in the house were indeed asleep, and the space in mid-air suddenly distorted. A palm with a thick black leather glove. Without warning, it was suddenly exposed in mid-air out of thin air!
Oh!
The word exposure should not be used!
To be precise, it is the owner of this hand who deliberately makes this hand revealed......
Next, this palm drilled out of thin air was extremely skillful in making a series of gestures!!
If there are no surprises, this should be the owner of this hand, giving a series of instructions!
Then this palm. Disappear into the air again......
A series of distortions followed by a series of distortions in the nearby space. It feels like there are countless figures, spreading out quickly in all directions, quickly surrounding the house where Xia Jian and them are resting!!
'Squeak ......'
Then, with a very slight grinding sound, the closed door was gently opened from the outside......
These invisible people hidden in the shadows finally completed the infiltration without alarming anyone......
………………
But......
Did these invisible people really not alarm anyone?
As the door closed again, leaning against the corner of the wall, making a slight snoring sound, Xia Jian, who felt as if he was asleep, actually took advantage of the fact that no one noticed his corner, his eyelids trembled slightly, and his eyes secretly opened a gap......
It's obvious......
Xia Jian is pretending to be asleep!!
However, it needs to be specifically mentioned that except for Xia Jian and those unidentified infiltrators, everyone else at the scene, including Storm and Yasha, were all really asleep!!
Of course......
The reason why Storm, Yasha and the others fell asleep was not because of the neurotoxin problem......
was deliberately hypnotized by Xia Jian!
All it takes is Xia Jian to give a command, and they will wake up in an instant!
The reason why Xia Jian did this was just to make this scene as real as possible......
After all, judging from the various actions shown by the other party, it is certain that this group of people must be very cautious!
If you don't act real, you may not be able to get them hooked......
Judging by the results......
At least so far, Xia Jian's calculation has been successful!!
Not only did he lure these guys out, but he also managed to lure them into the house......
It's just that......
What Xia Jian didn't expect was ......
This time, it seems that I really fished out one, oh! It's a bunch! Amazing big fish coming!!
Why do you have to say that?!
That's because if it weren't for the noises they made! If it weren't for the moment he entered, the palm of that hand was suddenly exposed to the air, Xia Jian really didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to find them!
The reason is simple......
These people don't just have stealth capabilities!
And their stealth ability is very comprehensive......
To be specific, their stealth ability can not only make their bodies invisible, but also erase their own scent and even the breath they emit!
Even through spiritual perception, Xia Jian didn't notice the soul fluctuations of these people!
It's just through a few sounds, I vaguely perceive that there seems to be something abnormal in the space in that area!!
It's like there's something. Blocking these people, the mental perception is like hitting a wall!
The only flaw, perhaps, is their ability. Can't get rid of your own weight!
But obviously......
These people themselves understand this, so in this regard, they have come up with a certain way, the most likely is what they are wearing on their feet!
That's a great thing......
At least it's much better than Xia Jian's own "Stealth Technique"! (At least compared to Xia Jian's "Stealth Technique", which is less than the second level!) As for the future, Xia Jian can't give a conclusion for the time being, after all, the "Stealth Technique" has not yet cultivated to that level! )
Xia Jian couldn't help but be a little suspicious, when. Mutants have become so cheap?
And they're all mutants with this kind of perverted stealth ability!!
"I'd like to see what the hell you're up to......"
Thinking of this......
Xia Jian snorted lightly and closed his eyes again!
Under the perverted stealth capabilities of these people. What the eye can see is a blank slate......
If he wanted to determine their location, all Xia Jian could do was to use spiritual perception. Vaguely determine their location!
Until a way is found to crack the stealth abilities of these people. Xia Jian didn't want to startle the snake!
Besides......
Judging from the fact that the leader of this group of people needed to eliminate the stealth of his palm before he could issue an order, Xia Jian judged that the stealth of these people might have the same effect on their own people!
In a nutshell......
Now even their own people. I can't see my own people!
I can't even see myself......
In this state, Xia Jian estimated. Even if they really want to deal with their own group, they must first cancel the stealth state!
In that case, then there is no rush to demolish them!!
Xia Jian decided to wait and see what these guys were going to do before they made a substantive move!
By the way, let's see if we can find a way to catch them all......
……………………
Those who are hidden in the shadows would never have thought that every move of their party would be watched by others!!
Think about it......
They all already have such perverted stealth abilities!
If they can get to this point, they are cautious enough!
If you were someone else, I'm afraid you would have relied on your own ability and rushed in directly, where would it be so complicated, poisoned, and what!
Next......
The development of things was really expected by Xia Jian......
When these people confirmed it again, Xia Jian and his party were indeed in a coma......
The space suddenly twisted a few times without warning!
A second......
Several tightly wrapped figures from top to bottom showed their bodies in the room!!
The tightness here is not devoid of any moisture!
These people, from head to toe, were all wrapped in a whole set of silver-gray tights, as if they were made of some special leather, and even on their heads, they wore a special hood, covering their mouths, noses, and eyes!
"Hmmm......"
At the moment when these people revealed their figures, Xia Jian seemed to have encountered something unbelievable!
Raised his eyelids slightly and peeked at the ......
Then he closed his eyes again, observed it with his spiritual perception, and couldn't help frowning......
What's going on?
Originally......
At this moment when these people had just revealed their figures, Xia Jian could clearly feel the strange fluctuations coming from the surrounding space!
But the problem is that after the fluctuations, although Xia Jian can see their people, in their spiritual perception, their sense of existence is still blank!
To put it more colloquially, they just cancel the visual invisibility, and on other levels, nothing has changed, and their presence is not felt at all!!
"Strange ......"
It's no wonder that Xia Jian feels incredible!
After all, before this, Xia Jian had never heard of any stealth ability, which could control only a certain aspect of stealth at will!
"Is it ......?"
However, this doubt did not exist in Xia Jian's heart for long!
Just for a moment......
Xia Jian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and finally thought of a possibility!
"It's these people, there is a problem with these clothes on these bodies? It's not that they have invisibility?! ”
What Xia Jian thought of was a game called "StarCraft" that he had played a long time ago, and it seemed that in "StarCraft", the Terrans had a special class of troops that could be invisible!
The reason why this class can be invisible depends on the set of clothes on its body!
In fact......
When he first saw this group of people and the leather tights on their bodies, Xia Jian should have thought of this aspect immediately!
Pity......
During this period of time, Xia Jian has been in contact with either superpowers or abilities! So much so that the science and technology, in addition to the things left over from the collapse days ago, as well as the unreliable research of Chen Sisi and Huang Weiguo, are almost all about to disappear from Xia Jian's dictionary!
I didn't think about it in the first place!!
But now think about it......
In this apocalyptic world, perhaps other forces, including Xia Jian himself, are unlikely to develop any incredible high-tech weapons!
But among these potential forces, only one does not include, the control force radiates the potential force of this area!!
After thinking of this possibility......
The more Xia Jian thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was greater!
In this way, it is completely possible to explain the previous series of doubts!
And then, the next move of these people is to apply for this speculation in Xia Jian's heart......
"Snort......"
In a series of friction sounds, the two people who revealed their bodies unzipped the tight leather jacket on their bodies at the same time, and took out a metal box from the mezzanine of the clothes!
It was at this moment that they unfurled their leather coats......
In Xia Jian's spiritual perception, the two of them suddenly became extremely clear!!
"That's ...... so"
Xia Jian suddenly realized......
Since the stealth ability of these people depends on the skin on their bodies, not their own abilities!
Then their identities are already being revealed......
Equally......
The importance of this group of people in Xia Jian's heart has also been greatly reduced!!
