Chapter 406: Half-Orc
The last of the Sioux people also died, and was most likely killed by the orcs, who, as Ma Zhitu said, would use infrasonic attacks and could kill people silently.
But why did they suddenly kill their keepers?
If that Soviets had fired flares to lure us over to serve the orcs as a snack, his death would have been inexplicable.
If not, he brought us over, maybe not to feed the orcs, but in the hope that we would find them?!
This may not be nothing, Ma Zhitu also said just now, there are still two days before the day of feeding, and the half-orcs should not have appeared today.
The Sioux man wanted to ask for help......
I think about what happened before and after, and I think this explanation is the most reasonable, so many people died in one night, and there was only one guard left, guarding 35 supernatural people.
Even if there is no threat of orcs caught between them, something will happen to them sooner or later, and in the case of isolation, the Su people choose to ask outsiders for help, maybe it is just his subconscious survival behavior.
This would explain why the orcs killed him, he wanted to betray the orcs and find someone to deal with them.
What would the orcs do to me and Gu Yu? They must already know we're here.
Gu Yu quickly grasped the crux of the matter, and he asked Ma Zhitu a key question, "They never enter the mall?" โ
Ma Zhitu hurriedly said yes, but the sound waves can come in, so it is not safe in the mall.
Gu Yu's ability can block the vacuum shield and block sonic attacks.
Because whether the sound can be caught or not, it needs to be transmitted by the air.
But the vacuum shield also has a disadvantage, the oxygen in the shield is limited, it needs to be replenished regularly, and once the opponent continues to attack, when we are ventilated, there will be a defensive hole.
Of course, this is a case where we can't do anything about the orcs, and it's more likely that we'll kill them before we can show our flaws.
Gu Yu immediately upgraded the air shield around us, and he didn't care about them for the time being.
After all, these people are Guo Wei's subordinates, and we only listened to Ma Zhitu's words.
And it's been a long time since we found the bloodstains, but the orcs haven't made a move.
They certainly won't give us a chance to steal the 'rations', and the silence at this time can only be brewing a bigger killer move.
Just as I was thinking about the conspiracy of the orcs, I suddenly heard a wolf howl in the distance.
The voice was anxious and angry, Gu Yu twisted his eyebrows and said, "It's not good, something happened to Hashan." โ
We turned around and left, Gu Yu asked Ma Zhitu to wait for us to come back, but he didn't let him go.
In this world, people are unpredictable, Guo Wei once wanted to harm that group of Soviet people, and the victims of the moment do not mean that they are good people.
We teleported, Hashan's voice sounded not too far away from us, he didn't even wait outside the city, we moved where he was, and we saw that he was being besieged by a pack of leopards.
Leopards are rare in the grasslands, and most of them have migrated from other places, or they have escaped from safari parks.
I've been keeping a close eye on the city, and the leopards have appeared so silently that I didn't even sense their brainwaves.
It made me wonder if something was wrong with my abilities.
"Don't move!" Gu Yu made a 'sit' gesture towards Hashan.
Hashan's buttocks were pressed back very low, his forelimbs were tense, and his teeth were bared as if he would rush up and bite the leopard at any moment.
Seeing Gu Yu's gesture, Ha Shan's expression changed, but he still maintained a posture of preparing for an attack.
"None of this is true." Gu Yu used the air to envelop the group of leopards, and found that the leopards did not make any resistance movements.
They let out a low growl, threatening in their eyes, and nothing else.
Gu Yu's air blade also pierced the air, and the living leopard in front of him was actually a holographic projection-like illusion.
I said to myself, no wonder I didn't detect their brain waves, and suddenly, Gu Yu and I looked at each other at the same time and blurted out, "I've been tricked." โ
Now it is too dangerous to let Hashan go back to the city alone, so he has to follow us back to the mall together.
The window on the second floor of the mall was opened, and we teleported to the fourth floor, where Ma Zhitu and the others were gone.
In less than five minutes, more than 30 people disappeared, and there was no rope on the ground, so they were still tied up when they disappeared.
Gu Yu stood at the window on the third floor and looked down, there were many plum blossom-shaped footprints on the snow, but the size was about the same as Gu Yu's palm.
The Vanishing Device was shattered, and I judged that it was the Orcs who took them.
But orcs don't go into the mall, so they need someone to help them throw people downstairs, and then they can carry people away.
The man was unconscious, and the leopard ran so quietly that we didn't hear anything.
"It's Ma Zhitu." Only he remained awake, and if the orcs needed an internal response, there was no one else but him.
"The orcs have painstakingly supported us, what does it mean?" Gu Yu acquiesced to my guess and asked.
"Description... Don't want to go head-to-head with us? I didn't know the bottom of my heart, so I said what might have come to mind first.
"They think like people." Gu Yu repeated Ma Zhitu's description of the orcs.
"People have a lot of scruples, do orcs also have scruples?" We have encountered a lot of mutant beasts before, and the beasts are very territorial, and if someone invades their territory, they will always do their best to expel the invaders, even if they can't beat them.
And the half-orcs have been rampant in Baal City, Guo Wei and they have more than a hundred people, and they are inevitably coveted by the half-orcs, can I and Gu Yu plus Hashan make them so jealous?
"The Sioux are dead, and they have no helpers." Gu Yu's tone was actually not too sure, "Let's go separately to find clues, the people from the small town should have arrived here before Guo Wei and them." โ
Ma Zhitu didn't mention whether there were any other survivors imprisoned when they came, judging from the timeline, the people of Xiaocheng left before Xindu occupied the primeval forest, and they would indeed come here before Guo Wei.
If they all fed the orcs, Ma Zhitu would naturally not know about them.
Even if the person is gone, there may be some things left, and Gu Yu and I split up to look for clues in the mall.
Although Hashan didn't know what we were looking for, he followed us around the mall.
There are some corners that are particularly narrow, and only he can really get into them.
Hashan's body looks big, but in fact, it is because the hair on his body is thick and fluffy.
He burrowed under the shelves, his fur covered in ash, and he looked like a big bad wolf.
We didn't even spare the corpses of the Sioux people, and we rummaged through the pockets of their clothes.
In the end, I didn't find anything that belonged to the town, but I found a diary in the pocket of the merchant from my country.
The first half of the diary is a daily account of incoming and outgoing goods, which is supposed to be the businessman's ledger, but after arriving here, it becomes a diary.
In his diary, we don't see any information about his parents.
I hope it was Nini's prophecy ability that worked to keep them out of all the danger in their path.
Aside from the daily lock-ups and complaints, the entire diary is like a criminal record, recording every group of survivors they have killed.
Judging from the records, the orcs have eaten a staggering number of abilities, and the ability level should have evolved a few times ago.
Now, we can basically be sure that the people in the small town have not been here, so do we still want to know them?
Although Guo Wei and I have an enmity, the people who follow him may not know me at all, and Ma Zhitu is proof of this.
I discussed with Gu Yu and chased after the footprints left by the orcs, and if I couldn't save them, it would be better than not saving them.
We already know that orcs not only attack with sound waves, but can also create illusions to confuse us.
But I never noticed their brain waves, and Hashan sniffed the footprints on the snow, as if he had found something, and ran wildly in the opposite direction of the footprints.
After running for a while, he stopped, and called at Gu Yu and me twice, as if urging us to hurry up and follow him.
His sense of smell is far superior to mine, and I think that's what he meant when he said he could help.
We followed him and ran in the snow for half an hour until we ran out of the city and up a hill.
At the top of this hillside, we saw a strange structure, surrounded by a stone wall.
The perimeter of this ethnic building is full of broken bones, and I thought that orcs eat people without spitting out bones, but it turns out that they spit out bones to make a wall.
To make the place look more like a sacrificial ground, we had just stood outside the wall when four orcs burst out of the building.
They look like ordinary leopards, but they are more muscular and twice as large as ordinary leopards.
"Intruder, if you leave now, we can act as if you weren't here." A leopard speaks.
It's a strange thing to say, and I wonder what the difference is between when we've been here and when we've not.
"Have you ever seen a team of survivors pass by here? There was a middle-aged couple in the procession, and a little girl over a year old, who had passed by here about three months ago. โ
"No, we haven't seen a team with women and children in half a year." The other leopard replied.
I thought about it for a while, there were indeed no women and children in the ranks of the Soviet people, and Guo Wei's team was the same.
Hearing the orcs confirm it in person, my heart was completely steady.
"Get out of here, or elseโ"
Before it could finish anything, an earth-shattering roar rang out from the strange building.
I felt the ground tremble beneath my feet, the pile of broken bones rolling down the wall, and the leopard said 'it's awake' and turned around and ran back into the building.
We heard Ma Zhitu shouting frantically, 'Didn't you say yes before?' Why-'
His doubts and anger were replaced by screams, and I soon smelled blood in the air.
Obviously, Ma Zhitu was a traitor who helped the orcs transport away his companions, and the lessons of the blood of his predecessors still did not give him a clear understanding of the orcs.
Whoever worked for the orcs didn't end well, and now he was unloaded and killed by others.
Gu Yu changed the air for me, and directly lifted the roof of the building, blowing down the wall of the building.
I saw that the walls inside the building were all red, and at this moment there was a monster standing inside the building, standing with two leopard legs, and the upper body was a human body with short hair, and the head was still a leopard's head, like a monster in Journey to the West.
