Thick black clouds burst out of the far horizon of the fortress, like a raging dragon tumbling in the air, suddenly soaring into the sky, and suddenly sinking towards the ground. In just a few minutes, a thick black cloud engulfed the sky, roaring over people's heads like a sudden huge black hand. The sunlight disappeared completely, and the wind carried fine raindrops, although the rain was not too big, it was extremely cold, and there was a kind of freezing feeling that hit the face.

Su Hao wore a military raincoat and walked alone along the path overgrown with weeds, towards the depths of the central mountain range.

The gray wolf was female, and it clearly didn't expect to be slaughtered. When the bloody wolf head was put into the dinner plate and placed in front of Su Hao, the gray wolf's eyes were still wide, the mouth full of fangs could not be closed, and the dark red tongue stretched out from the middle of the teeth, and fell softly on the side of the mouth, exuding a disgusting fishy smell.

Su Hao chose the part on the top of the gray wolf's head closest to the brain, cut the wolf skin with a knife, removed a piece of bloodshot meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Eating meat is also a kind of learning.

From the initial discovery of having the ability to perceive memories of the target body, until now, Su Hao himself can't tell how many times he has used this ability?

Beasts and mutants are needless to say. Even during the Kingdom War, Su Hao had eaten a lot of enemies. Of course, it is not to eat the whole head and feet, at most it is to cut a piece from the other party's body and chew it slowly while it is fresh.

A lot of intelligence and information is obtained in this way through the communication between the cells and the stomach. Over time, as the amount of food increased, Su Hao gradually found out the pattern.

The amount of cellular memory is related to the part of the subject's body that is consumed. In general, the closer the piece of meat is to the nerve center, the richer the cellular memory content and the greater the amount of information obtained from it.

When chewing wolf meat, Su Hao's eyes kept shaking one picture after another.

That's the life of the gray wolf from its infancy to the present. There was its mother, its brothers and friends, and its clumsiness in its first bite of food, and the pleasure of slicing a human throat for the first time and being poured with gushing blood.

Yes, it has eaten people.

Among all the memory pictures, Su Hao was very surprised to see an acquaintance.

To be precise, it should be a familiar shadow.

It certainly has a name.

That's Saka, Saka the Ripper, the mutant king of the Central Mountains, the oldest and most powerful mutant in the remnants.

It was dark between the heavens and the earth, and the fine rain was blown by the wind, and it immediately engulfed Su Hao's figure. He couldn't open his eyes, he couldn't even breathe, and it wasn't worth turning over and covering his head with a raincoat to get a little room to breathe.

No one expected this sudden squall, and although the rain was not heavy, it caused inevitable trouble to walking. Tong Yanfeng and Qin Wuyi both wanted to follow Su Hao, but they were sternly refused. And for good reason: I'm the most powerful evolutionary on the planet. What's the use of you keeping up if even me is in danger?

Usually a small searchlight can illuminate a hundred meters away, but the visibility at this moment is only a dozen meters away. The powerful rain in the pillar of light, after a while, Su Hao was already soaked, and his feet were all sticky and muddy, he breathed silently, and walked forward in the wind and rain. After about two hours, I finally entered the forbidden area of the Central Mountains.

This area has been carved out since the last time he came into contact with Saka the Ripper. Under normal circumstances, the trail takes about two hours to walk. For all years, there had never been a case of a mutant leaving the Central Mountains and entering the attack range of a fortress. I don't know why, the closer he got to the core of this mutant settlement, the more indescribable cold Su Hao felt in his heart.

It's a very different place than the last time I was here.

There are very few shrubs on the ground. As far as the eye can see, the only plants that can be seen are tall trees. Even the weeds are small in number, and instead they are soft objects that don't know what species they belong to, with a dark red surface and a faint sticky feeling when touched by fingers.

On the ground, this thing is everywhere. It's like a puddle of mud, just a weird redness. Looking at the nearest red soft object under his feet and being silent for a few minutes, Su Hao pulled out the dagger from his waist and inserted it hard. I saw that this thing actually writhed under the tip of the knife, and a thick pulp erupted from the gap between the wound and the blade.

The wet part of the tip of the knife tip that is stained with thick slurry is only about five millimeters, which indicates that the red soft matter is not very thick and not too hard. In fact, the dark red layer on the surface is more like a film. Su Hao put away the knife, picked up a branch from the side, and casually stabbed it on another puddle of soft objects, and also received the same destructive effect as the knife.

There is no accurate volume standard for soft objects, and there are a bunch of them everywhere in the east and west. The large ones are more than two square meters, and the small ones are often only a little the size of a palm. At a glance, they occupy about one-third or one-quarter of the surface area between the trees. If you don't look very closely, you can mistake it for lichen or moss.

What exactly is this thing?

Su Hao frowned, took out the tool from his backpack, and collected a part of the slime as a sample. When the dark red liquid was close to his nostrils, he smelled a faint fishy stench, like the internal organs that had just been pulled out of an animal's body.

A gray wolf appeared in front of Su Hao.

It was a beast of gigantic size, nearly twice the size of the one in the real yàn chamber. It bared its teeth and roared menacingly. In just a few minutes of Su Hao's confrontation with him, more and more gray wolves ran out of the woods. There are more than hundreds of them, in a circle. The rain formed a wet barrier on the surface of the wolf's skin, and water was dripping from under each wolf's body, and the green light flashed in the crystal eyes, and the wolves kept showing their sharp white teeth. They looked at Su Hao as if they were looking at a delicious and delicious dish.

These wolves are very strong, and in a comprehensive assessment, their combat effectiveness should be similar to that of the giant mutants in the Central Mountains. In particular, several of them are particularly strong giant wolves, and their strength has surpassed that of mutants. However, in Su Hao's opinion, this kind of strength is equivalent to a high-level enhancer, and he is far from his opponent.

"I have no ill will! I'm coming for Saka, Saka the Ripper. ”

Su Hao raised his hands and let out a low hoarse wolf howl from his mouth. This is the memory he found from being eaten by the gray wolf, and it is also the way the wolves communicate with each other. It is not difficult for the vocal cords to imitate a wolf's howl, and although there are some syllable errors, the overall meaning expressed is almost the same as the sentence mentioned above.

The wolves had no intention of getting out of the way. Standing in the center, the huge black wolf is obviously the first wolf among them. After a stalemate of nearly five minutes, Su Hao suddenly let out a rude and ferocious roar. He rushed out, grabbed a gray wolf that was caught off guard from the side, smashed the wolf's head directly with his fist, and then with a contemptuous sneer, he threw the wolf corpse that was still twitching high and landed far on the periphery of the wolf pack.

"Whew--"

This act angered all the wolves present. They let out a terrifying howl, and the wolves began to slowly circle around Su Hao, ready to pounce and bite at any time. In the midst of the restless wolves, only the black-headed wolf remained calm. Despite its anger, it did not let out an attacking roar.

A few minutes later, the head wolf let out a long hiss, and the wolves immediately left Su Hao's side and pounced on the slain companion instead. They devour the bodies of their own kind, chewing even the bones to pieces. The blood that permeated the air made the wolves extremely excited, and especially cruel. Perhaps there was too little food to eat, and several sick and thin wolves were bitten over on the spot. Other wolves followed suit. In their view, the sick companion is actually food, and this is not about sin, but about the nature that lurks in the blood.

Su Hao left the wolves and walked towards the woods in the side direction. The head wolf watched his movements coldly, without saying anything, and no wolves tailgating. In this way, in the process of contrasting patience and strength, Su Hao gradually approached the pyramid deep in the mountain range. At least, you can faintly see the white that is engulfed by black clouds and rain.

The divergent thinking consciousness guided Su Hao like a signpost. He walked near the white pyramid, and the black particles again sent an extremely strong danger signal. Su Hao stood in the rain, silently staring at the mysterious building in the distance, turned to leave, and walked towards the side of the mountain range.

His goal is Saka the Ripper, not the Pyramid.

The search effect of mental awareness is very obvious. In a cave that had already been explored, Su Hao saw Saka's figure.

The cave is not large, and the internal area is only a few tens of square meters at best. Saka lay on the inner wall of the cave, seemingly resting. Su Hao walked without making the slightest sound, but Saka suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw the human face standing in front of him clearly, his hideous and murderous gaze instantly became unbelievable and full of shock.

"Why are you here?"

The way mutants speak is different from that of humans, which Su Hao already knew during the last contact. Saka the Ripper's question, though simple in a few words, contains several layers of meaning.

Why are you here?

How did you get here?

Are you here to kill me? Or is there some other purpose?

In short, in a simple sentence, it almost covers these meanings.

Su Hao did not answer. He turned the small searchlight attached to his shoulder strap and aimed it at Saka. This is not a deliberate attempt to provoke the other person, but an essential action in a dark environment. On top of that, Su Hao felt strange: since he walked into this cave, Saka the Ripper had stayed where he had not moved.

As the leader of the mutants, Su Hao still remembers the last exchange with Saka. Although a long time had passed, that hideous face, full of anger and irritability, remained in the depths of his mind. To put it mildly, Saka is a bad-tempered monster.

As the circular incandescent aperture continued to move, Su Hao quickly saw Saka's figure clearly.

It couldn't move. To be precise, it is held in place by a viscous white substance. It was supposed to be some kind of gelatinous substance, glowing white silver when illuminated by the light. It was glued so tightly that it wrapped tightly around all of Saka's arms and thighs. Take the arm as an example, there are dozens of horizontal and vertical sticks, each of which is connected to the rock, and even the fingers are carefully pasted and cannot be shaken.

From his chest to his abdomen, Saka's whole body was wrapped like a rice dumpling. The paster's working methods are very skillful. Silvery-white filament encircled Saka's neck, leaving about two or three millimeters of breathing space in it. Its entire shoulder was firmly anchored, unable to twist its head or make movements such as lowering its head and tearing the tape with its teeth. Aside from his head, the only thing on Saka's body that wasn't covered by sticky wires was the lower part of his abdomen and about twenty centimeters above his knees. There is a critical place, with its genitals, ****, burdened with essential physiological activities such as daily excretion.

Su Hao walked closer, picked up a piece of gravel from the ground, and carefully touched the silver-white sticky silk with the tip. He smelled a faint fishy smell, the stickiness of this thing was simply amazingly strong, although the area where the stone touched it was not much larger than the tip of a needle, but when he left from the surface, Su Hao still spent a lot of effort.

"Help me, help me."

Saka the Ripper struggled frantically, and it let out a simple syllabic roar like a madness: "Release me, let go!" ”

Su Hao was still calm, as if he was staying in another world that had nothing to do with him. After scrutinizing the white sticky thread for a few minutes, he shifted his gaze to the rest of the cave. The light continued to shift as his body rotated, and under the guidance of the light, Su Hao saw that there were many animal bones piled up in the corner of the stone cave, and there were also obvious human skulls among them.

The air in the cave was foul with a strong stench of feces. Following the source of the smell, Su Hao saw that at Saka's feet, there was a pile of blackened lumps. It was Saka's feces, but it had long since dried up and was no longer its original color. A few ants were interested in it crawling up and down, not bothering to bother with Saka's roaring and roaring.

Divergent mental consciousness suggests that there are no creatures lurking nearby. Su Hao didn't dare to be careless, he raised his left hand, and the microcomputer on his wrist immediately displayed a remote sensing image of the surrounding environment. In order to ensure the smooth flow of information, Tong Yanfeng temporarily called two military satellites to be responsible for liaison with Su Hao. In the event of an irresistible danger, the fortress will immediately dispatch a helicopter carrying the soldiers of the Praetorian Legion to quickly go to the designated location.

A small detector begins to analyze the cavern. Su Hao put on a receiver of a type and a single chip, and found that the environment in the cave was not much different from other caves. The only difference is that the rock structure here is more dense, which also restricts Saka's escape on a large extent.

All indications are that it has been trapped here for a long time.

Su Hao put away the computer, looked at Saka with a calm and calm gaze, and asked seriously, "Who trapped you in this place?" ”

"Let me go! Let me go! ”

Saka ignored Su Hao's question, it kept roaring, anger made the blood flow faster, the whole face turned red, and even the eyes were bloodshot.

"I can help you. But you have to answer my question first. You can think of this as a prerequisite for cooperation between the two parties. ”

Su Hao's attitude was very calm: "I know you can understand what I say." If you keep yelling, you might be luring the people who are holding you back. When the time comes, no one will be able to save you. ”

These words were very sincere, and Saka, who was in a rage, gradually extinguished his anger, and his panting slowly eased. Its eyes flickered, staring at Su Hao. Obviously, it was a little hesitant about Su Hao's construction, and it instinctively didn't believe the other party.

"Let me go first."

After thinking for a few seconds, Saka gasped and his eyes widened: "This place is dangerous, they will come back at any time." Let me go, and I'll tell you all of them. ”

"That's not the answer I'm looking for."

Su Hao glanced at the microcomputer on his wrist, and the surveillance satellite had not sent out a danger signal, which indicated that the surrounding area was still safe for the time being.

Ripper's love for Saka becomes agitated again. As a mutant leader, it also has feelings and pride. In its view, Su Hao's answer was an obvious insult and provocation.

Su Hao didn't like this confrontation in silence. He gave Saka a cold look: "If you refuse to answer, then I will leave now." Rest assured! No one will bother you again. To be honest, it's a nice place to be a prison. ”

The word "prison" is not familiar to Saka. It paused for a few seconds before it understood the meaning that the other party wanted to express from the relationship between Su Hao's words. Surprisingly, Saka didn't roar, just let out an angry, but visibly suppressed growl from the depths of his throat.

"You're challenging my strength."

"Damn human, I, I'm going to tear you apart."

"I'll admit you're smart, but that can't be your capital to tease me at will. I am Saka the Ripper, the king of all mutants. ”

In Su Hao's opinion, this self-promotion can only be described as "ridiculous". He looked at Saka calmly and spat out coldly: "You are just a bubble of stinky shit now, and you can't even take care of yourself." Look at the feces under your feet, you are no different from them, even dirtier and worse. ”

"Enough!"

Su Hao's words completely shattered the last dignity in Saka's mind. Its majestic face already looked a little distorted and full of pain. After this roar, it fell completely silent. It took nearly half a minute before a long sigh of great sorrow came from deep in his throat.

"You can't imagine what happened to me. They are my kind, my juniors. But they ...... They are no longer what they used to be. It's terrifying, it's terrifying, not to mention seeing it, I can't help but tremble even thinking about it. "I'm going to tear you apart."
