Chapter 11: The Roots of Fear
Chaos and disorder, like the end of the world, is a true portrayal of the unknown planet named New Brown Star today.
Perhaps because of a premonition of the imminent catastrophe, or perhaps stimulated by alien species, all creatures on the planet deviated from their original life tracks and fell into a desperate madness.
Through satellite images, it can be clearly seen that all organisms that can be directly observed have become extremely abnormal, regardless of region, continent, or hemisphere.
The giant herbivore creature tens of meters long was originally lazy and even wanted to save the strength to move, relying on trying to get food by stretching its neck as long as possible, but now it was unusual, dragging a huge body like a mountain and running wildly, and the soles of its feet longer than a human stepped on the ground at once, causing the earth to tremble violently, as if it was as terrifying as an earthquake. Wherever they passed, anything that stood in their way was mercilessly impacted and trampled, leaving behind them countless small creatures that were trampled into meat sauce and laid flat on the dirt surface.
Large carnivorous beasts with strong muscles and sharp teeth and fangs are usually the overlords of a territory, and the beasts avoid where they are infested, the strong flee in a hurry, and the weak bow their heads to die, except for their kind, no creature dares to offend their majesty, but at this time, these beasts are panicked and circling around, raising their heads from time to time to make a terrible roar, the original majestic and domineering roar, at this time has become panicked, like a desperate insect pig. Fear makes them lose their minds, frantically attacking any living creature in their field of vision, not for the sake of hunger, just simple killing, they don't know how to alleviate the fear in their hearts, they can only use blood and killing to vent their fear of death, so they do not hesitate to attack the monster that is several times or even more than ten times their size, the attack has no skills at all, but even if it is torn apart and trampled on dying, as long as there is still a breath left, it will never stop.
Small animals are usually cautious, hiding from the enemy's search in caves and forests, not allowing themselves to become a part of the enemy's life, but at this time they have completely ceased to care about their own safety, whether old or young are swarming out, if you see a black carpet on the ground from the satellite image is squirming forward quickly, there is no doubt that it is these desperate little beasts, they are running wild from time to time by the huge mouth that poked from the side into their mouths and swallowed their heads up, that is the same wild predators along the way, if in the past, the rest of the small beasts would have been scattered, but now they are unconscious, still jumping up and running for their livesγ
The soil on the surface suddenly began to surge, a huge mouthpart suddenly poked out of the ground, the two passing small beasts did not have time to let out a miserable cry, they were split in two by the sharp mouthparts, as the soil turned aggravated, several meters long insects writhed their bodies and drilled out of the ground, the insects wearing thick armor and majestic were ignorant of the beasts passing by, but stood up their upper bodies, making a threatening gesture towards the sky, a large amount of air erupted from the air holes on their sides, making a sharp hissing sound, on this planet, for most animals, similar sounds are a symbol of death, but this time, the object of their threat did not give a little response, and there is no fear of it, so that these giant insects can only join the fleeing army in a boring way.
If you turn the satellite's field of view and turn your perspective to the sea, you will find that it is not the legendary peaceful paradise. Although it is difficult to see the scene under the surface of the sea, but on the originally calm sea, there are constantly surging huge waves, the blue water, from time to time by the blood surging up from the water to dye, from time to time there is a huge body, floating from the surface of the water, the mutilated body on the surface of the water loads and floats, it looks extremely desolate.
There were panicked herds everywhere, which reminded Shur of the wilderness before a volcanic eruption in Pavatiga, when it was the same in the wilderness, a pre-apocalyptic scene, the only difference was that in Pavatiga, the herd had a clear goal, and they all ran away from the volcano, but this time, no one had a definite goal, all the creatures only knew to escape, as for where to flee to? and when? Who knows.
Shur knew, alas, he wasn't in the mood to tell the beasts about this, he was busy right now.
This is the third day that the first volunteers have arrived on New Brown Star, and the uproar of protozoa on New Brown Star has been going on for more than two days.
On the first day, the four of them tricked the flying beast into rescuing the injured captain by infiltrating the way, and returned to the base as quickly as possible, and Shur used magic to heal her internal and external injuries, so that she was protected from the infection of the location bacteria, which was a happy ending, but since that day, the chaos of the beast herd has not stopped, and around the camp alone, there have been six beast herd impacts.
If it is usual, even if there is a herd of beasts passing by, after a continuous barrage, they will naturally fade, but these times are very different, they directly ignore the damage caused by the barrage, and rush at any cost, and the base that has not yet been built is obviously insufficient in the face of giant beasts several meters or even more than ten meters high, so they can only step up the construction of defenses while relying on heavy firepower to strangle the beasts. In the past few days, the more than 10 square kilometers of land around the base have been covered with all kinds of corpses, and the strong smell of decay has permeated the camp, and the volunteers in the camp have to endure the foul smell at any time and place. If it weren't for the development of antibodies and vaccines, I am afraid that the first batch of volunteers would have died from the blow of the disease.
It wasn't until the third day that the Brown Star people finally couldn't take it anymore, sprinkled accelerant around the camp, and then a fire burned the corpses within a dozen square kilometers to the ground, although the smell of burnt paste lingered for a long time, but compared to the stench of decay, it was now heaven.
In the past three days, every brown star has been extremely busy, and the daily rest time is compressed into six hours, which is already the limit of the brown star people, they know that only by building the defense facilities of the base as soon as possible can they ensure everyone's safety, so everyone is overloaded, even Delia's parents, the two old people who have reached the end of their lives, are burdened with the same workload as young people, for them, it is a great honor to be able to do their last part for their civilization before they die, and it would be great if they could hold on until they saw the successful completion of the immigration planγ
Fortunately, on the third day, the first batch of supplies delivered by Captain Lucio had arrived, so the construction speed of the base had increased tenfold, and in less than four hours, a large base with an underground fortress as the main body and a lifting automatic turret around it had begun to take shape, and the original few simple houses had been demolished, and all the equipment had been transferred to the interior of the base, which had significantly improved both safety and work efficiency.
However, this has nothing to do with Shure's busyness, and he is being troubled by another thing.
Well, Shul was sitting on a flying machine, following the group of grumpy beasts below, and he stared blankly at the monitor on the aircraft, which was playing a clear image of the beasts below, to be exact, the image of the deer happily bouncing in front of the herd.
Shul felt that his head hurt, Moria, this guy held back in the base for several days, and his exuberant energy had nowhere to vent, and now he finally found an opportunity, he must go down and run a few laps, and then there was an inexplicable leader in front of the herd, and the herbivorous beasts were obviously intellectually lacking, and they stupidly followed by instinct, and Moria controlled the direction of the team, so the green-haired fluttering forest spirit walked away with countless beasts, leaving only a string of crisp laughter behind him.
"Although I know that you are trying to use this method to lure the beasts away from their original path and prevent them from going to the base to die, but you seem to have taken them around a hundred and eighty degrees now, phew, come up when you have had enough. Shuer said weakly into the communicator, "Although the deer steak is still quite delicious, the venison that has been trampled on has lost its original deliciousness. β
"You're not in a hurry to go back now, what are you doing so early to tell me to go up. In the midst of a cheerful cry, Moria's voice came from the communicator, "In terms of time, it should be almost time today, and I will go up again when these guys calm down." β
"You got it. Shul sighed, "No wonder you pulled me out to play so cooperatively today." β
"I'm not Sasa, how can I not see it. Lin Jing said dissatisfiedly, "How can there be a pre-disaster reaction that appeared seventeen days in advance, that is too early, it is definitely not the big rift that stimulates them, the only possibility is the Void Evil Spirit that runs faster than the Great Rift, I believe, there must be hundreds of millions of Void Evil Spirits are pouring towards this planet, the instinct of life can make the beasts feel terrified, and there will be a commotion for these three days, right?"
"Tsk. Shul pursed his lips, and was seen through by this guy again, "Almost." β
"That's why you ran out, and you didn't have that good effect in it. Moria seemed to be tired of running, and beckoned to the aircraft, which swooped downward, and at the moment of passing by, she jumped up lightly and wiped the sweat from her forehead before continuing, " The Void Evil Spirit covers the sky and the sun, constantly devouring the creatures on the planet, but they can only support it, not only have no room to fight back, but also always worry about the exhaustion of protective energy, and even they are eroded by the Void Demon, at this time, the divine power descends, the divine power sweeps the planet, and the Void Evil Spirit that enters the planet is swept away, and the rest are blocked from the planet. As a result, under the power of the gods, not only the beasts worshipped, but even mortals also prostrate on the ground, thanking the gods for their salvation, and this scene will surely spread throughout the entire Brown Star civilization through images. β
"Look. Shuer smiled noncommittally, pointing his finger to the sky, where, although it was not yet observable to the naked eye, through energy perception, he could already feel the unique energy fluctuations of the Void Evil Spirit, which was rapidly approaching.
