Chapter 567: The Versatile Silly Bird
For Song Lan, it is much easier to cut people than to save them.
The storm that had blocked the Barossa Group's fleet of airships and enveloped the entire Canshar was nothing more than a simple use of the destructive ability, equivalent to what he could use with a little "thought".
He was a believer that "there is no superiority between good and evil in and of ability", but he has recently become more and more aware that the direction of his ability and psionic ability seems to be born to cause destruction.
He was sure that this psionic storm would last for a long time until their trip to the Third Neutral was over.
The sudden vision of heaven and earth stopped the Barossa Group's pace and attracted the attention of the Eye of the Federation, but no one dared to break into the center of this storm easily, and it was undoubtedly a foolish act to lose a large amount of living force for the sake of a small town, not to mention, they had reason to believe that Cansariel, who was at the center of the storm, was destroyed the moment this dark storm fell.
If this is the disaster of the "Father" that the Eclipse cultists believe in, the fate of the townspeople is already doomed.
During the long war between the Merchant and the Church, the Barossa group had a very deep understanding of their old enemy, the so-called moon god was by no means the "loving father" described in their teachings, and everything that had a direct connection with him was closely related to words such as "sacrifice" and "sacrifice", and they could fully believe that this sudden storm was an evil ritual performed by the cultists who were struggling to survive in the town with their humble lives and the lives of all the townspeople.
The battlefield commander of the Barossa group quickly convinced himself.
Their purpose is a greater journey, and there is no need to live with a town that has been destroyed.
Song Lan sensed that the group of airships entrenched outside this psionic storm had retreated, and his hanging heart finally relaxed.
Fortunately, the faith of the cultists and residents convinced them that it was a blessing from their "Father", and his acting skills of pretending to be stupid had once again achieved excellent results, in the eyes of the others, including Yelu and others, he was just a pure passerby who did not understand the situation at all, and even the couple took the initiative to tell him about the glorious deeds of "Father" after hearing his suspicious voice.
He had to sigh at the depth of the influence of the Eclipse Cult on them, and even some ordinary townspeople who pulled it out alone were able to accomplish the task of preaching well.
He was also happy that someone spared no effort to help cover up his behavior, and Song Lan said from time to time, "I see", "There is such a thing?" The response completely cleared the connection between himself and this psionic storm.
And the only one who saw through the truth was Lu Xiang, who finished the autopsy and immediately came out to find out when he heard the movement outside the house.
When she went out, she happened to hear Song Lan exclaiming in the crowd, "What's going on?" The scene.
She really knows Song Lan too well.
If it weren't for this exclamation, she might have wondered if this was some kind of ritual arranged by the Lunar Eclipse Sect disciples, but as soon as she saw Song Lan's pretended round eyes and an unbelievable look, she decided that this storm must have been Song Lan's ghost.
This dumb bird!
And when she wasn't paying attention, she showed a new ability!
In the field of psionic development, Song Lan is like a black hole, whenever he encounters a special environment, he can tinker with a new ability that he has never seen before.
Lu Xiang observed the torn sky, and the still intertwined black lightning, all of which seemed to have cut off the real world, causing the entire area to fall into a chaotic void, if this storm fell on the frontal battlefield, it would directly affect the direction of a battle.
"It's getting late, it's time for us to go."
Lu Xiang leisurely came behind Song Lan, and the arm of the exoskeleton armor was lightly placed on the latter's shoulder, "This exoskeleton armor should be able to help us withstand this storm." ”
"The moon god will guide our path."
Song Lan said in a pious tone, as if the sermon of the small town couple had really paid off.
The simple night heron is convinced of this.
In the eyes of the most fanatical followers of the Eclipse Cult, the Moon God could easily accomplish any incredible miracle.
Leaving Kansariel all the way to the north, is the first city in the territory of the Third Neutral Country, which is also the landing site of the Expeditionary Corps of the Seventeenth District, according to the cultists who desperately escaped from the city, the entire city has been attacked by monsters emerging from the "pit", the number of monsters is endless, and what is even more terrifying is that those who were wounded in the battle, the wounds will soon fester, rot, and in less than an hour, they will be completely transformed into those mutated creatures who have no ability to think for themselves, A terrifying creature whose brain is completely occupied by the desire to kill and devour.
There was no cure for the virus, and the city quickly fell the night mutated creatures flocked to them.
The Church's garrison was quickly overwhelmed by the monsters, and only a handful of cultists managed to escape the city.
They tried to persuade Song Lan and the others not to go to that hell on earth several times, but when they saw the night heron, they retreated again.
The appearance of the "Angel of Death" often represents the instigation of Archbishop Heliface himself, who can only speculate that the disaster caused by mutated creatures may be for some greater cause.
Led by the night herons, the trio avoided most of the mutated creatures along the way.
During this period, Song Lan tried to actively use psionic energy to get in touch with these "local residents", hoping to use his excellent communication skills and build a good relationship with the mutated creatures, but all attempts ended in failure, and invisibly, he seemed to feel that some deeper consciousness was driving their behavior.
This immediately reminded him of the swarm consciousness, and he was even more convinced that the attack of these mutated creatures was not accidental, but was controlled by some "wild devourer".
By all indications, the Wild Devourer is likely hiding in the deepest part of the "Pit".
It seems that this time the strategy of peaceful diplomacy will not work, perhaps they will have to go through some deeper, even heart-to-heart communication, so that the two clans can better understand each other, so as to achieve a win-win outcome that is beneficial to everyone.
"Here we are."
After nearly half an hour of travel, the border city of the Third Neutral State finally appeared in front of their eyes.
The baroque buildings in the ecclesiastical style were already overshadowed by war at this moment, and although they were mentally prepared on the road, the sight of bloody decay in front of them still touched Song Lan.
At his feet, there was an arm to which I didn't know who it belonged to.
They were greeted not by the sound of the 17th Sector Expeditionary Force fighting bravely, nor could he hear any orders from the front-line commanders.
Not even a single figure could be seen in the distance, only the remains of exoskeleton armor, a large number of bullet casings, and the uneven ground smashed by artillery and drop silos told the story of what had happened in the city not so long ago.
"Our troops have arrived."
Lu Xiang and Song Lan exchanged glances.
Just a few minutes ago, Medell sent a battlefield text message saying that they had cleared the nest of mutant creatures that were located beneath the city, and that the Tunnel Worm was ready.
This is both an expedition launched by the coalition government, and the first real expedition of the swarm.
