Chapter 178: Buds
Things seemed to work out smoothly, and the strange "human" who didn't look like the Tanlons fell to the ground, leaving no breath of life, and the last sight was like a hallucination.
As far as he could see, the Tanlons had already run towards their homes, and Batut looked down at the bracelets, and there were no new orders issued to hunt down the fleeing Tanlons...... Many were relieved along with Batut.
Even if they knew what they were being singled out for, it would be difficult for them to actually aim their weapons at these same Tanlons as them, and no one would be indifferent to their own people.
Batut was still receiving the mess, trying to figure out something in his mind, he was always thinking about a lot of things that he shouldn't be thinking about, and suddenly a figure appeared in his sight, approaching their group of Tannon guards against the flow of people.
The appearance of that figure is very similar to the "person" who has just been killed by the energy gun, only a small detail is different, and this resemblance is particularly terrifying in the current scene, especially when the previous person died very strangely.
There's a feeling in a horror movie where you kill a character and the next day you see that character appear as usual.
Unlike the previous "human", this "human" who clearly targeted them was holding an energy gun similar to theirs in his hand, with a somewhat different appearance, but it was clearly the same kind of weapon.
Before a small number of people from the Tanlong Guards could react, the trajectory of the energy gun fell into the crowd, and the principle of the energy gun is to release energy, so it will not be like a physical bullet, causing a scene of flesh and blood flying after hitting the target, but a large hole in the body, and then blood continues to flow out of the hole.
But when the corpse fell, the blood splattered a little, falling on the people of the Tallon Guard, who had only been partially trained, but had not experienced it.
Batut's reaction was more sensitive than most, or perhaps he was the quickest to recognize the current situation, he did not try to retreat and escape, but raised his weapon and aimed it at the figure that was swaying from side to side, the best way to deal with the danger in front of him was to flee.
At this time, there is no need for Batut to think about the reason, to think about who is right and who is wrong, no matter what the reason, the current situation is only left with the goal of "living", he does not want to die.
The sound of the energy gun was small, and it slashed through the air like a stone, and Hugh hit it with a pop...... Ground.
The man on the other side dodged in a very flexible posture, which should not be considered dodging, but his crooked forward path happened to avoid the attack of the energy gun.
The second energy gun attack in Hugh's run fell into the crowd, and compared to the first person who died directly, the second person who was hit by Tanlonger was lucky that he only lost half of his arm, and he might be able to save his life in time.
With the sound of screams and the calm counterattack of their companions, the remaining members of the Tannon Guard finally thought of what the training was about, and began to raise their weapons to fight back, firing a volley of random guns.
Most of the interstellar weapons have an auto-aim function, which is not auto-tracking, but will aim at the target within the range of the weapon, and then send out an attack - it is very useful when hitting a static target, and the dynamic target has no effect and can be dodged.
After this strange "human" sent out the third energy gun attack, he finally couldn't dodge the volley of random guns, and fell to the ground with a bloody hole, worse than the first person, and he was also replenished with a lot of guns.
The two victims, a wailing and screaming Tanlon, depressed the atmosphere of the team, and what they thought was an easy training life ended up paying with their lives.
Without much emotion, the leader of the team raised the energy gun in his hand and aimed it at the only injured person, ready to give him a good time.
Batut suddenly thought of his father, who was about to leave home after being lame, the lonely figure who was dying, and the various hormones produced during the battle that had just broken out, so that he could not maintain his emotions calmly.
"Can he not die?" Standing in front of the wounded, who knew his fate and no longer made a sound, Batut heard himself speak.
No, what he really wanted to say was that he ...... Can they live?
The supervisor who led the team looked at Batut for a long time before putting away the energy gun in his hand, his tone was calm, not like a human, "Bandage him to stop the bleeding, and when he gets to the base, he can survive." β
Batut didn't expect to receive this kind of response, he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted slowly, quickly lowered his body, took off his clothes and bandaged the injured to stop the bleeding.
After bandaging, Batut half-supported the wounded and followed the team towards the base of the mining area...... The rest of the way was peaceful, at least no third "person" suddenly jumped out to stop their team, and no new victims appeared.
Some of the original Tanlonians in the mining area hid in the corner and watched, looking at the members of the Tanloner Guard walking on the road with fear, Batut felt strange, this place did not look like the mining base he lived in at all, there was something mixed in that he could not recognize, he did not know what it was.
The location of the base of the mining area is fixed, and it is easy to find, except for finding a few sleeping "human" bodies inside, no other accidents have occurred, and the team leader and supervisor have directly shot one by one, all of them have been solved, and no one has been left alive.
They are the so-called "existence of sin", Batut thought so, and couldn't help but think, what did they do to become "evil beings"?
The lead overseer quickly pulls out a strange machine from the mine base, which Batut recognizes as an interstellar item that can heal wounds, which the former Overseer would call a "medical podium".
At the signal of the team leader and supervisor, Batut put the injured person who was still conscious into it, and after about half an hour, the pale wounded got up from it, his body was weak, and he had to replenish his nutrition in the future, and he was unable to carry out vigorous action, but there was really no danger to his life.
Batut was disappointed that the wounded man's arm had not grown back, but had only stopped bleeding and had grown a thick scarβa machine that could have repaired all the severed limbs of a person.
Because there is not enough energy...... Team leader overseer, no, it's Bai Yue, Bai Yue won't explain to that group of Tanlons like this, even if they do, I'm afraid that the ignorant Tanlons won't be able to understand what it means.
Hakutsuki didn't trust the uneducated Tanlons, but it needed a body that could carry out orders, so it transformed the body of one of the selected Tanlons into half-robots that maintained their lives.
Source change appγ
It is difficult to determine whether the leader of the group who has been selected for transformation is a living human consciousness, or if it is just an intelligent mechanical consciousness formed by data determination...... In addition to Bai Yue's personal control, this body will have a basic consciousness of obeying orders to act autonomously.
It was very easy to seize the authority of this mining base, so easy that it was as if the other party was not fighting with it at all, Bai Yue was a little uneasy, and he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.
Shiqi glanced at the two deadly players who were calling people online and offline, and didn't really want to play any tug-of-war with Bai Yue, if the other party could resist this group of players, it would think about it again.
Batut took the clothes returned from the wounded, the clothes they wore in the Tanlonger Guard were all clothes left behind by the interstellar people, and they had a strong defense ability in the face of cold weapons, but they had little effect in the face of energy guns...... The suit on the overseer of the team leader has the ability to guard against energy guns, although it can't block a few shots.
The clothes were covered with blood, and it was difficult for Batut to put them on directly, so he was ready to wait until he found a place to draw water, and washed the clothes before putting them on.
Although Hakutsuki didn't know what was going on, it was already a fact that this mining base was recaptured by it, and it was necessary to take precautions first without considering those false things, in case those strange "humans" who seemed to be clones came back.
Bai Yue was actually very puzzled, it knew that there was a Zerg Empress on this planet, and it also knew that there were a large number of Zerg in the Yegu Forest.
At first, it thought that the players were Tanlons who had been lured by the Zerg, because the Zerg could never have any individual consciousness, but later it discovered that these "humans" were Zerg...... In other words, their relationship with the Zerg is inseparable, just like humans who are attached to the Zerg.
How can the Terrans be in the same league as the Zerg?! Bai Yue, who has always stood in the camp of humans, can't accept this group of "Zerg humans", so he calls them "beings full of sin".
They are adept at rhetoric, often luring a large group of Tanloners to follow them blindly, even at the cost of their lives, in a few words - referring to the 'Director of the Ninth Asylum'.
Bai Yue seemed to mistakenly think that most of the "Zerg humans" were very good at language strategies, so when he saw that group of "Zerg humans" were about to speak, he resolutely refused to give them a chance to speak.
"You guys, split into two groups, one group to rest, one group to patrol the outside of the mining base." Bai Yue manipulated the body of the team leader overseer, and commanded the members of the Tanlong Guardian team that he had brought in.
Although it has seized this mining base, it must also guard against the counterattack of the other party, according to the information in the data, at this time, it should be more suitable to arrange some simple buildings as a block, but Bai Yue glanced at the empty warehouse, and then looked at the flat land outside, there are no suitable materials to arrange it.
β¦β¦ The materials for the warehouse were transported by Molan to the Yagu Forest, including most of the machines.
Bai Yue could only control the supervisors of other mining bases that were relatively close, and organize teams to send the materials needed, but it would take a few days to do so.
Batut was lucky enough to be in the rest of the group, which gave him time to find water to wash his clothes.
The place where the water was drawn was located at the base of the mining area, which was far away, and Batut was a little hesitant to go there, because he might not be able to come back in time when he gathered, and when he looked down, he suddenly saw several buckets of water next to the reclaimed land.
The surrounding land was a little wet, presumably the water was used to irrigate the land, Batut hesitated, walked over and carefully scooped some water, poured it on his clothes, and squatted on the ground to wash the blood stains on it.
"Hey......" A weak voice suddenly sounded behind Batut, who turned his head to see that it was a thin little girl, with a shrunken expression, but standing there bravely.
"You, you stepped on the bud ......"
"Huh?" Batut was stunned for a moment, got up reluctantly, and took a few steps back in a restrained manner, before touching his head and speaking suspiciously, "What is a bud?" β
"It's food." The thin little girl's voice was weak, but she said it very firmly, with expectation and yearning for beauty in her tone.
Seeing Batut retreating, the thin little girl trotted a few steps, ran to the position that Batut had just stepped on, and rearranged the dirt, and Batut saw that there was a little bit of tiny green in the middle of the soil, which looked very fragile, and was almost trampled to death by him.
"The gods made the adults say that in the future, this place will not be under the care of the interstellar people, and there will be no nutritional paste, we have to grow our own food."
"They are food, small, planted in the ground, watered, sprouted, then grown, and finally fruited, and this is our food for the future."
The thin little girl's eyes were full of light, and she said with anticipation.
Batut pinched the washed wet clothes, crouched down to take a closer look at the little green bud, and some did not believe that this little thing that was only a little big could grow into food, but in his heart he expected it to be real...... If he didn't rely on interstellar people to get food, wouldn't his parents be able to live peacefully until the end of their lives?
The thin little girl said, her tone suddenly a little lost, "The gods have told the adults that it is cold now, and they may freeze to death before they can grow up and bear fruit. β
When Batut heard this, he was more nervous and concerned than the thin little girl, and asked a little unpleasantly: "Then, what should I do?" β
The thin little girl tilted her head, as if she was surprised by Batut's attitude, but she still showed a small smile to comfort Batute in turn, "It's okay, the gods have told the adults that it doesn't matter if they don't grow big, they will melt into the land, and when they grow up with the new buds next year, then they will grow bigger and better, and they will bear more fruit." β
"And if winter comes a little later this year, maybe they can grow and bear fruit before then."
(Today's chapter is so difficult to write, card by card, the plot knows what to write, but when descripting, there is a feeling that I can't write it, and I am dumbfounded...... In fact, I wanted to write about the perspective of an ordinary Tanloner who stood on the other side to look at us. There is also a plot where the Tanlons and the players fight, and they hesitate for a moment whether to kill people, that is, whether to let the players "kill" people...... In the end, I decided to write a little more brutally. )
