Chapter 33: The Curse
After hearing He Wei's report, claiming to have really seen the monsters gathering, and it was suspected that after holding the ceremony, Lu Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.
True...... Really found it? Through this so-called ritual in Shu Changshan, through the convergence of sensing what evil forces, the place where the monsters held the ceremony was really found?
What is this Cthulhu system, is it all true?
At this moment, what Lu Ming had always insisted on, confirmed, and believed for a long time was uncontrollably shaken.
After all, if the Cthulhu worldview is true, what is the scientific system?
This is different from the so-called "ghosts", "reincarnations" and the like.
Ghosts and the like can be seen as an isolated phenomenon. Lu Ming believes that the scientific system can cover them, and can give explanations and answers within the system. Therefore, scientists are happy to see evidence of the existence of ghosts, but there is no evidence that can stand up to scrutiny and examination.
But this moment is different. Because, the Cthulhu system, it is a system, not a phenomenon. Moreover, it is contradictory and incompatible with the scientific system. The scientific system cannot cover it, and it cannot be explained within the system.
This came from the impact of the worldview level, which made Lu Ming fall into shock and confusion in an instant.
Compared with Lu Ming, Zhang Dingshan obviously has a lot less ideological burden. As soon as he received He Wei's report, he immediately made a decision and immediately said, "Launch an attack." Helicopter formations are always ready to support! ”
"Yes!"
Confirming that he had really found the place where the monsters had gathered, Shu Changshan let out a long sigh at the moment, as if he had finally let go of some burden. The pressure and pain that had always oppressed him seemed to disappear, and at this moment he was on the ground, mentally exhausted.
Nothing happened to him next.
In the jungle, after receiving Zhang Dingshan's order, He Wei raised her arm and signaled, and then took the lead and quietly continued to lurk forward. More than 200 guards also converged towards the center of the circle at the same time.
The encirclement is shrinking.
"Let you hide, let you hide, this time I'll see where you run!"
He Wei's expression was cold, but she was gritting her teeth in her heart.
For such a long time, no matter how much you look for it and how you search, you can't find any trace of the monsters in this primeval jungle and reckless mountains with complex terrain. As soon as I found it at this moment, the anger in my heart immediately exploded.
This time, no matter what, He Wei would not allow a monster to escape again.
Under the leadership of He Wei, the guards quietly lurked only about fifty meters away from the monsters and stopped here.
At this moment, under the low-light night vision, He Wei could already clearly see the movements of the monsters.
Under the huge eyeballs, the monsters bowed and worshipped, and on their little heads, their mouths full of hideous mouths kept muttering inaudible words. The sound was mixed with the sound of the wind in the jungle at the moment, and the shaking of leaves and branches, and the slightest negligence would have made it inaudible.
In the reckless jungle, this scene full of evil scenes is presented in front of people.
He Wei quietly raised the firearm and aimed directly at the huge eyeball that was worshiped by the monsters. Her fingers slowly snapped down, and with a bang, the eyeball was directly exploded by the high-powered bullet.
Voices echoed through the jungle.
With this gunshot, as if a charge had been launched, bullets began to converge here from all directions at the same time. Like a violent storm, in an instant, the bodies of the four monsters that were beaten were broken into several pieces.
The principle of this operation has been set in advance, that is, everything is based on the safety of their own personnel. As for the monsters, it's best if they can be captured, but if they can't, it doesn't matter if they are killed directly, they can't be allowed to threaten their lives or have a chance to escape.
That's why this first wave of attacks will be so fierce.
But even so, the firepower of this wave of attacks is only half of it. Almost half of the guards were not involved in the attack. They are now on guard with more powerful weapons, such as bazookas.
This wave of attacks continued, and the monsters were caught off guard and killed four heads in an instant. The next moment, the monsters were like a frying pan, and a full seven monsters instantly converged, rushing in a certain direction at a speed far beyond that of humans.
Before launching the attack, He Wei only saw a total of seven monsters. Now four heads have been killed, but seven more have come out. Obviously, there were four monsters that had been more hidden before they were seen by themselves.
The monsters were extremely fast, outpacing the galloping horses. But under the siege of the preoccupied warriors, it was still useless. Under the fierce firepower, two more heads were killed in an instant.
The last two remaining monsters seemed to have finally judged their situation at this moment, and knew that it was impossible for them to escape. Under He Wei's gaze, the only two remaining monsters did not choose to break through, but suddenly knelt on the ground like humans.
Their two swarthy arms spread out, as if they were holding something. The little head was also raised, and a harsh and ugly roar full of resentment and hatred came out of his mouth, which sounded chilling in the heart.
It all changed so fast that it was only a second or two from the beginning to the moment. Seeing the monsters acting like this, He Wei felt a pang in her heart: "What the hell are you doing?" Let's kill first! ”
In the face of the monsters' weirdness and endless methods, He Wei is unwilling to take the slightest risk. She didn't bother to care what the monsters were doing, she just knew that as long as she killed them, she couldn't do anything else to blame.
Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately pulled the trigger, and in an instant, several bullets flew out of the muzzle, accurately penetrating the monsters' bodies, and even turning them into a cloud of blood mist.
Well......?
He Wei was a little surprised in her heart.
She was well aware of the power and performance of the guns in her hands. The previous battle also made this clear, and it made her clear that this bullet was nothing more than being able to penetrate and tear apart the monsters' bodies, blasting their bodies into a mist of blood, which was absolutely impossible.
But now, it seems......
"Leave it alone, just kill it."
At this moment, all eleven monsters that appeared in front of people's eyes were killed. But He Wei did not step forward to check the situation, but continued to wait.
She knew very well in her heart that the total number of monsters should be twenty-eight. At the moment, there are only eleven heads here.
So, where did the rest of the monsters go?
This time the sacrifice, or the ceremony, was it all the monsters that participated, or was it just the eleven monsters who participated?
If the latter is the case, then the effectiveness of one's actions will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. After all, this time they came with the intention of destroying the monsters.
At this moment, in the helicopter, Lu Ming finally came back to his senses.
He realized that whether the world worked according to the Cthulhu system or the scientific system, the question was too big, and he shouldn't put too much energy into thinking about that problem now.
Even if the worldview is going to collapse, it will have to collapse again later. Now let's focus on the current thing.
After seeing the signal sent by He Wei and learning that eleven monsters had been killed, and the remaining seventeen monsters were temporarily missing, Lu Ming felt a little annoyed in his heart.
Could it be that this operation, on which we have high hopes, will not be able to reap the full results?
This time, he inexplicably relied on Shu Changshan's "inspiration" to know the gathering point of the monsters, and unexpectedly launched a siege. The next time, the monsters are on guard, and they don't know how much trouble and difficulty their actions will have.
After waiting for a moment, sensing that there was no movement in the encirclement, He Wei raised his arm again and signaled, and then bent down and walked out first, holding a firearm, and searched forward with vigilance.
She wanted to make sure there were no monsters hidden in the encirclement.
At the same time, a total of more than twenty guards from different directions stood up with her and advanced towards the center of the encirclement. The rest of the guards remained in place, ready to provide cover and support.
More than twenty guards moved forward slowly, carefully observing all movements around them. But when the group finally converged in the center of the circle, they didn't find that there were still living monsters hiding.
It seems that this time the ceremony was really only attended by eleven monsters. The remaining seventeen-headed monsters are not here.
failed to reap the full credit, even if the operation gained a lot, it still couldn't make He Wei happy. She secretly cursed and said, "Clean up the battlefield and withdraw!" ”
The guards went with body bags to collect the remains of the monsters, and He Wei reported the situation to Zhang Dingshan again.
Lying on the ground, Shu Changshan, who seemed to be extremely tired, coughed twice, and said in a trembling voice: "No, I didn't expect it, the monsters are still quite cautious, and they know the truth that they can't, can't act collectively." ”
Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "With Mr. Shu here, we can find them once, and we can find them a second time." ”
At this moment, Zhang Dingshan's attention to Shu Changshan is obviously much higher. Even Lu Ming is the same.
There is no way, the real results are presented in front of my eyes.
There was no empirical evidence to prove the particularity of Shu Changshan before, but this time, it can be regarded as solid evidence, right?
No matter how he did it, with this solid evidence at this moment, it is enough to make his side give enough respect and attention.
At this moment, in the jungle, He Wei came to the wreckage of a monster, her brows furrowed slightly.
This is the monster that gave up fleeing at the last moment, choosing to kneel on the ground, looking up at the sky, arms outstretched as if holding something, and then beaten into a bloody mist by themselves.
However, the firearm in his hand should not have this kind of power.
Through the gas mask, He Wei, who was wearing an isolation gown, carefully examined the weeds on the ground and the fragments of flesh and blood on the soil.
She finally said to the communicator: "Captain, when I attacked the monsters just now, something happened, which is a bit strange......"
She recounted in detail what had happened.
Zhang Dingshan said: "Collect the wreckage and send it to the laboratory to check the force." ”
Maybe it just happened to hit a key node in the monster's body, a force point or something. At this moment, Zhang Dingshan can only make such an arrangement.
This is also what Lu Ming thinks in his heart. But at the same time, he also noticed that Shu Changshan's expression began to become solemn unconsciously.
He sat up with his brow, his brow furrowed, pondering something.
"Mr. Shu...... What's weird about that? ”
Lu Ming asked cautiously.
Shu Changshan shook his head: "I vaguely remember that I seem to have seen it from somewhere...... It should be fine, let me think again. ”
Lu Ming and Zhang Dingshan glanced at each other and closed their mouths.
The next moment, the two of them saw Shu Changshan shaken all over, as if he suddenly remembered something, his face was full of horror and fear: "I remembered, it's a curse!" Blood...... Ahem! ”
Before Shu Changshan finished his sentence, he suddenly coughed violently. Lu Ming and Zhang Dingshan stood up at the same time to check on his situation, and before they could help him, they saw Shu Changshan's fierce cough, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and then his body was crooked, his eyes were closed, and he fell heavily on the ground of the cabin.
Lu Ming's heart sank instantly. He was quick with his eyes and hands, and pulled Shu Changshan up, Zhang Dingshan's hand had already touched his neck artery, and Lu Ming's other hand probed under Shu Changshan's nose.
"The heart is beating fast! Estimated heart rate above 150 beats per minute! ”
"Weak breathing!"
This sudden change directly caught the two off guard. Zhang Dingshan immediately made a decision, and immediately shouted: "Return to the base!" Get your doctor ready! Fastest speed! ”
"Yes!"
The helicopter spun around and immediately flew backwards. This time, instead of reducing the noise by lowering the power, it is going all out. Amidst the fierce roar, the helicopter flew quickly towards the base.
"Captain! What happened? ”
"He Wei! Don't restrain the wreckage of the last two monsters! Block the scene and wait for Shu Changshan to wake up before dealing with it! lest the curse spread! ”
"Cursed?"
He Wei was a little incomprehensible.
Lu Ming spoke extremely quickly: "From the analysis of Shu Changshan's words, he seems to think that those two monsters launched some kind of curse before they were killed by you. The target of the curse should be the most critical person who caused the result at this moment, that is, Shu Changshan!
Now, for unknown reasons, Shu Changshan suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma! ”
Judging the situation at the moment, it seems that it can only be thought that the monsters cursed Shu Changshan before they died. After all, without Shu Changshan, it would be impossible for you to find the monsters. Shu Changshan is the most critical and important person.
He Wei was stunned, as if a basin of cold water was poured on her body.
She had known for a long time that monsters were scheming and tricky. In order to prevent any moths, she had killed them all as fast as she could, leaving no living mouths. But I didn't expect that I was still a step slower after all, and let them curse Shu Changshan!
At this moment, the monsters have not been completely annihilated, and Shu Changshan must not have an accident!
