Chapter 241: Civil War and Civil War
Dragon City is going to have a civil war?
Previously, Su Xia learned from Zhang Fang that there were three factions within Dragon City.
They are the Academy, the City Lord, and the Missing Moon Research Institute.
The people of the Academy and Research Institute have been coveting the position of the City Lord.
In the past years, there were often contradictions between the three parties, but they have not made a big fuss, there are many small frictions in the open and in the dark, and the high-level are quite restrained.
In recent years, the relationship between the college and the institute has gradually eased, and there are signs of joining forces.
Is this to turn the three-legged tripod into a struggle between Chu and Han?
Wrong.
Su Xia thought about it, if those two factions really wanted to make a move, it would be impossible for this news to spread everywhere.
Even Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng, two killers who don't belong to Dragon City, know about it.
Is it fake news?
Or is it ......
The people of those two factions deliberately released the news, wanting to create pressure on the city lord and force the city lord to make the first move?
As long as the city lord makes the first move, the people of the two factions can occupy the advantage of public opinion, win the hearts of the people in Dragon City, and get a "justifiable name".
With Su Xia's current strength, he can barely intervene in this kind of struggle, and when the matter here is dealt with, he plans to go to Dragon City to have a look and solve the doubt that has been buried in his heart-
Is the Dragon City Lord his old father?
"It's almost there."
Su Xia glanced at the time, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and the pitiful sunlight in the jungle was still slowly decreasing, and the darkness swallowed the area in front and back.
At the same time, outside the Fish Scale City, far away from here, the smell of gunpowder between the two insect hives became stronger and stronger.
If nothing else, there will be a bloody Zerg civil war tonight.
The two hives are frantically exploding troops, accumulating strength, and using all kinds of methods to win over the primitive Zerg in the wilderness that have not yet fully evolved.
Su Xia's clone, the ugly-looking little monster, had already arrived here and mixed into the horde of strange primitive bugs, preparing to join the powerful hive as a mercenary.
Once the war starts, the corpses of the countless insects are the best nourishment for Su Xia's growth.
Meantime.
In an apothecary in Coral City.
Su Xia put down the potion bottle in his hand, turned his head and said to his father, "Teacher, I have something to do outside, I want to go out, you don't need to leave me the door tonight." β
"Okay, go ahead, stay safe."
Daddy waved his hand and didn't even lift his head.
Su Xia, who had been allowed to do so, immediately took action, bringing with him a large pile of potions that had been refined in the past few days.
After making sure that no one was following, he made a few circles before leaving the city and heading straight for the wilderness of Fish Scale City in the north.
In the store, Lan Bafu muttered: "Brother Su's excuse for asking for leave now is becoming more and more perfunctory, he used to say that he was going to help his friends fight, but now he directly said that he had something to do outside, and he was mysterious all day long, and he didn't know that he thought he was doing something, and the mask monster was probably not as busy as him." β
"Smack!"
A piece of ointment hit Lan Bafu's forehead accurately, causing him to scream.
Naturally, this ointment was thrown out by my father.
The old man lifted his round glasses and said in a surging voice, "If you can create more than three third-order formulas by yourself, you can also ask for leave like this." β
"Oh......"
Lan Bafu rubbed his forehead, had nothing to say, and continued to bury himself in refining medicine.
β¦β¦
The time came to seven o'clock in the evening.
In an area deep in the southwest mountains, Su Xia and his party discovered another resting area for the Dragon City team.
The area has left a lot of traces of human activity, the ashes of bonfires, the fulcrum of tents, food packages, animal bones, and so on.
"The people of Dragon City are consciously saving dry food and hunting the mutated animals in this jungle to satisfy their hunger, which shows that they are ready to be trapped for a long time."
"But there are so few mutated animals that can be eaten here, and most of the animals are kept out by these killer plants."
"Bloody bandages...... Someone was hurt......"
ββ¦β¦β
The wounded are undoubtedly a huge burden to a trapped team.
Fortunately, the people on the Dragon City team have a regular exoskeleton power that allows them to lift very heavy objects.
On the trunk of a large tree, Su Xia made something else.
"Splattered human blood ......"
He touched the rough trunk of the tree, looked closely, and looked serious.
On the trunk of the tree, there are dark brown specks of blood, similar in color to the bark of a tree, and in the dim light, it is really impossible to see without looking closely.
"The surrounding weeds are lodging, there are seven deep depressions, and there are five places where the soil is turned out, and there are blood stains on some of the grass blades, which is a sign of fighting."
Su Xia slowly squatted down and found an unburned cigarette in the weeds.
"It's only half burned, which means that the incident happened suddenly."
Not far from this half of the cigarette, there were a few strands of dark gray clothing.
Its edges are torn and violently torn off.
Not far away, those blood-stained bandages were discarded haphazardly, and the situation at the time may have been a bit chaotic.
The area of the fight is not large, indicating that the person who did it was quickly stopped and his strength was not strong.
"The people of Dragon City probably didn't plan to rest here, but the sudden attack made them have to stop."
"Although there is no unity internally, it is not enough to act in this situation, and it is very likely that someone is delirious."
Judging from the on-site environment, the situation of the trapped team is not optimistic.
This jungle is filled with all kinds of poisonous fog, and if you are not careful, you will catch up.
Even if you get out of the poisonous fog area and barely wake up without an antidote, you may feel dizzy, nauseous and vomit for a long time, and feel uncomfortable.
"Two dragon scale marks, one of which still has an 'X' symbol in the middle to indicate distress, and the other an 'S' symbol to indicate someone is injured."
On a stone, Susha found traces left behind by Dragon City.
In the second inverted triangle dragon scale mark, there are three consecutive "S" marks, which means that the injury is quite serious and needs urgent treatment.
Sun Lang and the others had taken over the task of Dragon City before, so they were no strangers to this mark.
And Su Xia learned about it from Zhang Fang.
"Commander, here are a few arrow symbols, all pointing that way, move on?"
Both of them subconsciously regarded Su Xia as the backbone and asked for his opinion.
Su Xia nodded: "Well, pay attention to the surrounding situation." β
As time passed, the jungle gradually became colder, and the light became less and less, until only Suxia's mecha was left as a source of illumination.
Halfway through the exploration, Sun Lang said with a little envy: "It's convenient to have a set of mechas, which is equivalent to carrying a set of backup energy with you." β
Su Xia asked him, "With your financial resources, it should be no problem to customize a set of fourth-order mechas, right?" β
"It's not about money, it's about my hands and feet." Sun Lang sighed, "Commander, piloting a mecha also requires talent, I can't use the mecha flexibly, every attempt is in a hurry, in the eyes of the enemy, it is a moving target, it is better not to wear it." β
"It may be that the generic system doesn't quite match you."
Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "You can find a professional mechanical team, say all your requirements, and cooperate with them to conduct stage tests, and let them make a set of fool systems and adaptive mecha that can be used by you." β
Hearing this, Chang Rufeng on the side said with a smile: "He doesn't have the patience to cooperate with the test, he is born with a temperament that can't sit still......"
The three of them talked as they walked, adding a touch of life to this dark and cold jungle.
When the time came to nine o'clock in the evening, a new discovery was finally made.
Another corpse.
It was a headless corpse, all missing from the neck up, and the surrounding litter was strewn with broken brain marrow and blood clots.
The scene looks terrifying, and the dark and bloody images give the feeling of restricting horror films.
"Something is wrong, this guy got a headshot, plants can't do that!" Sun Lang squatted down to check, "The clothes he was wearing are very familiar, and he is also one of the fourth-level creatures who drank in the tavern yesterday, I have seen him." β
"Yes, I remember him too."
Although the two of them did not know the specific identity of the corpse, they both had an impression of the clothes, and remembered some of the words that the man had said in a conversation with someone during a drink yesterday.
If memory serves, this person should be the only fourth-level creature in a small city in the northwest.
"It's not one shot, it's two."
Su Xia's eyes were calm, and he noticed that on the trunks of the surrounding trees, there were ripple-like splinter marks.
If the psionic shield is suddenly shattered, it will leave this energy wave around it after it explodes.
"The first shot shatters its psionic shield, the second shot shatters the head, and the interval between the two shots must be extremely short, so that a level 4 killer has no time to react."
At that time, the deceased's psionic shield was activated, indicating that he was sane and had not been affected by the gas.
The person who did it secretly also knew this, but he did it anyway.
That man should be sure of killing.
After all, once you miss, it means making a feud with a high-level killer.
Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng are already very strong, but they are not completely sure that they can kill a cautious killer of the same level in just two shots.
Could it be that the fifth-level creature of the Dragon City team made a move?
But they are here to save people, and it is not very likely that there will be a conflict with the Dragon City team.
In short, it can't be a plant, there are no pea shooters here after all.
Unless......
Is there another unknown force in this jungle?
At this moment, Su Xia found a very small metal monolith, not as big as a normal ant, under a blood-stained dead leaf, and a string of data appeared in front of him.
[Psionic Concussion Bullet: A product of the Oloke Company, the design refers to the early ground-penetrating bullet, a bullet is divided into two parts: "armor-piercing" and "core", using the armor-piercing part to break the enemy's defense, and using the core part to kill the enemy]
[This bullet was specially designed for psionic creatures, and it was widely praised as soon as it was launched]
Su Xia's guess was wrong, it turned out to be not two bullets, but one.
And it's a bullet developed by an alien tech company.
Again, the Eurock Company, which seems to specialize in tinkering with these practical gadgets.
On this planet, Su Xia already knew that those who had deep contact with alien civilizations were himself and Wang Teng.
The automatons may be considered as well.
But Wang Teng is still clamoring in the small town outside Coral City, and if the mechanical clan learns the news, they will definitely come with great fanfare.
"Something is wrong, this person's belongings are still there, and the other party just wants to kill him, not for money."
"That's not a killer's style."
On this person's body, Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng found a large stack of cash and several bank cards.
Seeing this cash, Su Xia was basically sure.
It is the force of the counterattack on the wreckage of the spaceship.
Nearby, there should be a small piece of the wreckage of a fallen spaceship, and the AI in the wreckage controls some kind of alien weapon to kill the killer in front of him.
However, there is still some distance from the place where the prize pod fell as marked on the mission.
Moreover, according to the arrows, the people of the Dragon City team also passed through this area, why didn't they leave a corpse?
"Both of you, pay attention, the other party is also capable of killing you." Su Xia stepped forward and reminded him loudly.
"Commander, is it ......?"
Sun Lang was stunned for a moment, thinking of that possibility.
Su Xia nodded slightly at him, self-evident.
And Chang Rufeng is still a little confused, and he doesn't know about extraterrestrial creatures.
He saw that Su Xia had conjured a silver-white hollow metal ball out of nowhere, as if by magic, the ball glowed with a silvery-white soft light on his hand.
"Wait a minute."
Su Xia activated the Void Eye, and his gaze passed through the dark area in front of him, seeing far away.
Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng were both vigilant, and they both turned on their psionic shields and stood on both sides of Su Xia's mecha.
It didn't take long for a small thing less than half a person to appear in Su Xia's field of vision.
It was a mechanical creature.
[Space repair robot: a product of the company Oro, which can resist high temperature and extremely low temperature, is suitable for space operations, and will be carried on many spacecraft that have traveled far away]
[The robot appears to have undergone a modification, and unlike the generic form, a mechanical arm has been removed and replaced with a psionic sniper rifle]
[Danger level: high]
[Received a signal from the robot]
[Friendly signal, is determining your identity]
γβ¦β¦γ
Not long after, Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng also discovered the robot.
When they saw the black hole muzzle on the robot's left arm, the two of them were vigilant to the extreme, and they took out long-range weapons against the enemy one after another, using Su Xia's mecha as a cover.
"What's that? Mechanical family? Chang Rufeng's look was ugly, "Be prepared, it doesn't look easy to deal with." β
"That thing ......"
Seems to have been drawn to the commander's ball?
Sun Lang glanced at the glowing ball in Su Xia's hand, but he wasn't sure.
"Probably not the enemy." Sun Lang narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Chang Rufeng was stunned, "What do you mean, isn't that from the mechanical family?" β
"Brother Chang, you'll find out later."
Sun Lang found that Su Xia's expression was very calm, and with Su Xia's keen observation, it was impossible not to see the little robot.
He believed in Susha.
Under the gaze of the two of them, the little robot slowly approached, gradually coming to a range of less than twenty meters.
At this distance, even if you are a novice, if you are lucky, you can hit the enemy with a shot.
"Captain?" The little robot didn't shoot, the muzzle of the gun slowly drooped, and asked Su Xia a question.
"Howl?"
Su Xia didn't answer directly, but asked.
The little robot immediately nodded and said, "It's me, it seems that the captain has already discovered the rest of me." β
Not surprisingly.
The one who controls this little guy is none other than the ship's AI Hal.
When the ship crashed, it split into countless parts, each with its own Hal consciousness.
Every Hal consciousness was trying to protect the cabin he was in, silently waiting for the rescue team, and that was more than twenty years of waiting.
"Captain, and this robot......"
Hearing the conversation between Su Xia and Hal, Chang Rufeng was stunned for a moment, recalling the scenes experienced during this time.
Install the latest version. γ
The Captain, Su Xia who appeared here alone, the missing Dragon City exploration team, these unexplained weird plants......
Could it be......
He shuddered suddenly, and thought of an unbelievable possibilityβ
Commander of the North Wind turned out to be an undercover agent sent by aliens to infiltrate this planet?
