I'm sure it's not any of our people." The vigilante who came back from the fortress at the top of the hill wiped the rain from his face and said nervously, "Although he is far away, I can't see his appearance clearly. But I'm absolutely sure he's not one of my own."

"How far is he from the base now?" Qin Guangdong asked.

"When I first appeared with him a few minutes ago, he happened to be about six hundred meters from the outermost trap at the foot of the mountain.: Alerts who have learned some ancient knowledge are already proficient in the use of some ancient units of measurement." Such a heavy rain...... A person... Interesting. Tianxiang touched his chin and looked at the people around him and said thoughtfully, "Who could it be?" ”

"Could it be a wandering hunter who is out without food?" Yang Xiaotian asked.

"No, he doesn't have a weapon on him, not even the most basic throwing gun. And, and the weirdest thing is that the man, he... He... He was undressed. "The vigilant sentry carefully fills in the unfinished part." What did you say? Hearing this, Tianxiang suddenly stood up from the ground, pulled the guard, and asked loudly, "He is not wearing clothes?" Can you be sure? ”

The sentry nodded heavily.

"Taiguang and Xiaotian, you each bring a battle squadron to the fortress. Keep an eye on the movements of those who come and do not shoot without my orders. "Ou Qin, you rush to the gate of the lowest level of the organ immediately. In charge of directing the defenses there, you have the right to kill anyone who trespasses or leaves. ”

After laying out these two simple orders, Tianxiang easily picked up a G18OS long-range sniper rifle from the gun rack next to him. hugged Su Ya, who was a little nervous next to her, and kissed her lightly on her smooth forehead. He turned around and walked out of the door, and walked down the stairs to the observation gate of the fortress at the top of the hill. The vigilant sentry was right. At the foot of the mountain there was indeed a defenseless man. The cold raindrops crashed against his white skin, forming a meandering stream that slowly flowed down his body to the ground.

I could tell that this person was cold. He was shivering with cold. His eyes never stopped looking in the direction of the base.

Tianxiang, a stranger looking at the ** body in the distance, involuntarily twitched his mouth. "Why are you so nervous? It's just a person, is it worth it for you to be so close to the enemy? Qin Guang walked aisle, and Tianxiang glanced out. Turning around, he asked.

"You haven't seen the power of humanoids. Although you are aware of the existence of Operative 53, you have never seen such a mutated creature with your own eyes. Tianxiang shook his head lightly, raised the ground blocking rifle in his hand, and slowly brought it to his eyes. Staring at the magnified target in the scope, he said, "What's more, there are far more terrifying and powerful guys in this world than humanoids." "You mean ......"

"Corpse man."

"What?" Qin Guang lost his voice and said, "How is this possible?" Didn't that thing all be destroyed hundreds of years ago? "Even the corpses of Executor 53 were able to survive the nuclear explosion and multiply, and the corpses that expanded the colony through infection have an absolute reason to survive. You've seen the corpses in the cold storage, what do you think they are? ”

Qin Guang pondered for a moment and did not speak. The rifle that was just silently raised in the middle of the other shot hole. "Two thousand three hundred meters." Tianxiang carefully measured the distance between the target and himself. The guard posts run from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. It has always been arranged according to ancient military standards. The communication of messages between each other makes the return of messages extremely fast. As a result, the target seen from the aiming lens is nothing more than a finger-sized figure.

"It won't be a hunter, it's definitely not." Tianxiang once again affirmed his judgment, and the ground trigger in his hand was pulled at the right time. I saw a narrow yellow flame accompanied by a crisp impact. It erupted from the thick round muzzle and quickly disappeared into the blurry rain curtain.

The shot was accurate, and the target screamed and fell in response. Judging by the position in which it fell to the ground, the location of the wound should have been hit in the thigh. Tianxiang turned over his heavy rifle and slung it on his back, and hurried to an empty platform high above the fortress. It has long been connected to the trees at the foot of the mountain by several thick and sturdy vine ropes, and you can slide down the mountain in a short time by holding a smooth piece of wood with both hands.

This is Su Ya's idea, and it is also a copy of a vehicle called "zipline" in ancient times.

The zipline is fast. A few minutes later, dozens of hunters had already gathered in Tianxiang and came to the wailing wounded. "Humanoid?"

"Execution Body 53?"

Tianxiang and Taehiro exclaimed almost at the same time. Although the names of the two men were inconsistent, they both unmistakably identified the injured person lying in a pool of blood.

A stranger screaming because of his wounds. On the left side of his shoulder, near his neck, there is a large, distinctly circular scar. At that moment, Tianxiang suddenly remembered what Su Ya had said to him.

"The two-headed humanoid baby with the one that ate its own head hasn't been back since it was taken away by the custodials."

When he captured the glorious base, he had carefully counted all the humanoid corpses, except for those normal humanoids with beast heads and human bodies, there was no human-looking guy at all. Obviously, the naked ** "person" in front of him is a mutated double-headed humanoid. It's just that he doesn't look very big, and he's more of a human teenager than an adult.

"Tie him up and take him back. Attention, help a little." The empty cells of the Glorious Base have probably never been more crowded than they are now, except when they were once used to imprison human women. Of course, at that time, the cramped space was lined with rows of cold iron cages. Now the crowded area has become a concrete road in the middle that is big enough for eight or nine people to pass side by side.

Almost all of the base leaders gathered here. Their gaze was also projected from many different angles on a "young man" who was tied like a rice dumpling with rattan from top to bottom. "This guy is indeed a humanoid, a mutated humanoid." Tianxiang squatted on the ground and forcefully parted the upper and lower lips of the unconscious captives with numb* drunken potion, carefully passed a large number of foul-smelling mouths, and turned to the people behind him: "You see, its canine teeth are still very sharp. There is not the slightest trace of degradation. It's just that the position has been skewed back. Without fully opening, the fangs inside are simply not visible from the outside. No wonder the vigilant sentinels would treat this guy like an ordinary person. "Not bad." Xiao Tian nodded, crouched down, and flipped the humanoid body over from the side. Pointing to its lower limbs, he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God, they've evolved toes like ours." The original claws can still be seen somewhat, but compared to what is described in that document, it probably won't be long before they become exactly like us. It's horrible. ”

"I don't see anything wrong. They look like they're just like us. "This is Ou Qin's voice. I can hear that I can hurt a "person" who is no different from my own appearance at will. She did have some dissatisfaction.

Tianxiang didn't explain anything more about this. After all, Ou Qin is a woman who has not really seen humanoid cruelty. Something is more effective than being overly didactic, with a little real experience. What's more, there are more important things waiting to be done at the moment. "Throw it in and get cold water to wake it up."

How are mutant humanoids different from normal humanoids? Why did it return to its former humanoid lair? What exactly is the intention? All of these problems. There is no answer yet, and the only way to figure it out is from the captives.

A bucket of cold water is poured on the heart, and this awakening method that is extremely effective for humans is also effective for humanoids. Tianxiang was satisfied to see that the cold, shivering humanoids groaned and slowly sat up from the iron cage under the stimulation of the pain of the wound.

"Who are you?" A strong sense of command came out of Tianxiang's mind and shot straight at the humanoid.

Silent.

Cold, pain, hunger. That's all the inquiring senses get from the humanoid brain. Tianxiang was very strange, and it was indeed expected that the humanoid would react like this. However, unlike the humanoid reactions that I knew before, the result of this inquiry was missing one extremely crucial thing.

Hatred. Whether it's the first female humanoids encountered, or the other humanoids that later capture the earthoids and capture them, or kill them in their nests. Without exception, they all show an unconcealable hatred for human beings. Even the mutant humanoid babies who are kept in cages and call themselves "Daddy" have a palpable ill feel for humanity. Only in the brain of this captive who was wounded by himself, there was no such strong fluctuating emotion. Not only Tianxiang, Qin Guang, Ou Qin, and Yang Xiaotian, the three "pathfinders" with the sixth search sense, also noticed the abnormality. After confirming this point again and again, Ou Qin even leaned over to Tianxiang and begged: "It has no ill will towards us, let's let it go!" ”

Tianxiang's unmoved, flickering eyes still staring at the caged humanoid. He had not forgotten the eyes of the woman who had been engurated by the child in her womb before she died, full of unbearable pain and despair. "Who are you? Answer me? ”

A wave of inquiry, more powerful and commanding, shot out again. The violent concussion caused the caged humanoids to tilt involuntarily.

"I ...... I am...... Person. ”

How could this be? It actually replied to my inquiry? Tianxiang was startled, and suddenly closed his eyes slightly, and once again let out a powerful feeling in a sharp tone.

"People? Are you worthy to be called a human being? I know who you really are, you're nothing more than a dog bastard with filthy beast blood on your body. ”

"You... Do you know who I am? "Yes, of course I know. I still know that you are a wolf-hearted dog and a bastard who will not even let go of your own mother. ”

"If that's the case, then why didn't you kill me?" Tianxiang took a deep breath. Squinted his eyes and raised his head high. The fluent dialogue of the mutant humanoid in front of him made him feel an inexplicable wariness. It's not because the other party can respond to the surprise they bring, but because of the kind of fluid response to their own inner feelings. In fact, he has long believed that humanoids should be quite intelligent creatures that can think about problems independently. The inability to communicate with them before should be due to the refusal of the other party. It's just that the humanoid in front of you is a mutated species. But that kind of attitude of calmly responding is really suspicious. After all, the contrast between the two is too obvious. Among the differences. Only those who have experienced it can feel it.

But others don't think so.

"Patriarch, please let it go! Or give it some food and clothes! It was so pitiful and injured...... "You don't have to look back at Tianxiang to know that it's Ou Qin." This woman has really accepted the goodness and civility of most ancient knowledge.

"Go! Grab something to eat. ”

Tianxiang said to one of his clansmen, then turned to Ou Qin's side: "Don't think I'm ruthless. If one day you are forced to tear your belly open with your hands and pull an unformed child out of your womb, I'm afraid you'll think I'm too merciful. "No one who has ever experienced that bloody scene can never imagine the desperation.

"Xia Dong ordered all the sentries to strengthen their vigilance. No one is to visit this captive without my orders, and he is to be doubled and shackled, and nothing is to be missed. ”

After saying all this, Tianxiang glanced at Ou Qin with deep meaning, turned around and walked out of the cell. Taehiro and Xiaotian followed. It seems that there is something that is not easy to say.

"I know you have some of the same thoughts in your hearts as Ou Qin." At the door of his living room, Tianxiang stood and said, "I confess to being a leader. There were times when I was really cruel. I would not even hesitate to order the execution of a newborn baby. But you should understand that sometimes cruel and ruthless methods are absolutely necessary and necessary. Especially when it comes to dealing with enemies who can threaten our security. You can't be soft. I hope you understand that. Qin Guang nodded, and Xiaotian also looked deeply appreciative. It's just that Tianxiang knows in his heart that only after they have experienced the blood and horror brought by humans will they completely change their minds.

Four days have passed, and Tianxiang will go to the cell squadron mutant humanoids every day to inquire about his feelings. Despite the fact that each exchange was short-lived, the humanoid captives seemed increasingly reluctant to speak. But Tianxiang is still now, compared with when he was just caught a few days ago, the humanoids in the iron cage have begun to show an inexplicable irritability and anxiety. It seems to be afraid, and it is also afraid, especially the hatred that once did not exist for human beings, and it is becoming more and more intense in its inner world. Tianxiang felt very strange about this. There has been no curtailment of the diet provided to humanoids at regular intervals. Visiting hours are also quite fixed. The guards didn't do anything to beat or scold it, why did this guy who looked like a human but not a human behaving like this?

The wound on the thigh of the human has healed. The regenerative power of that muscular strength is simply staggering. Tianxiang had examined it after anesthetizing it, and now that the epidermis of the wound had not yet recovered, the wound caused by the bullet had been filled with new muscles. Ruptured blood vessels, broken ligaments, and necrotic muscle tissue are all repaired. On the surface, the injured leg is only slightly dented on the surface. The strong body regeneration and repair ability is simply stunning. Tianxiang himself was also in a cold sweat. He even thought that if he didn't kill him on the spot in the battle with the humanoids, even if it was even if his limbs were severed, it wouldn't be long before these strange creatures would still regain their former combat effectiveness.

"It really deserves to be the best combination of ancient humans using beast genes and devouring viruses."

This is the definition given by Tianxiang to humanoids. In the past few days, at a fixed visiting time, Ou Qin would always follow Tianxiang into the cell and comfort the poor humanoid captive. Tianxiang was noncommittal about this. Because saying too much at such a time is really not as useful as the fact that you have seen it with your own eyes.

It's just that even Tianxiang himself didn't expect such an opportunity to come so quickly. Three days later, Tian Xiang was preparing to go to the cell for a routine interrogation of the humanoids as usual. A guard sentry, who had just returned from the top of the mountain, suddenly rushed in front of him out of breath.

"The patriarch is not bad. There are a large number of people under the mountain... A large number of enemies. ”

"Enemies?" Tianxiang was taken aback: "What enemy?" ”

...
