Volume 1 Bronze Mask Chapter 10 The Wind of Early Autumn Begins in Qingping
The dense jungle obscured the day, and the air and sound were covered by the shadows of the trees, and the air and sound became stagnant and quiet.
A scar-faced strong man in the team, seeing a bush not far away suddenly shaking irregularly a few times, he sneered, pretending not to know, but hiding his right hand behind him, and quietly used tactical gestures to relay a message to his companions not far behind.
Almost simultaneously, from different directions, the cold barrels of seven assault rifles suddenly lifted, aimed at the bushes, roaring and spewing out a hideous line of fire.
A base of ammunition was quickly exhausted. The dwarf bushes at the center of the storm were like rags raged by the wind, torn into wisps in an instant!
When the raging gunfire finally went out, in the pit that was carved out by the dense shrapnel, there lay a bloody corpse quietly.
Before the smoke cleared, the nearby team members quickly surrounded and surrounded the crater.
The corpse was somewhat large, about 230 centimeters long, its skin was stained with blood and emitted a dazzling light, and a thick tail was still twitching slightly due to the residual activity of the cells after the body was dead.
After determining the target to be killed, the team members who came close to saw the strange scene in front of them and couldn't help but look at each other.
Tail?
Scarface also muttered in his heart for a while, but he quickly reacted, damn it, where did the human tail come from! Lying in a pool of blood was clearly the corpse of a beast, and Miles's body was strangely embedded in the beast's chest.
"Not good, retreat ......"
Needless to say, everyone realized that something was wrong almost at the same time, and hurriedly turned around and ran.
The moment they turned around, their thoughts were strangely stagnant for a moment, and their body's reactions slowed down by half a beat.
The momentary delay was fatal, and an earth-shattering roar engulfed them in the blink of an eye with a scorching flame.
In the shadows in the distance, Chen Yu firmly fixed his body to the trunk of the tree, avoiding the strong shock wave and qi waves set off by the explosion.
The purple intent in his pupils slowly dissipated, and two dazzling blood streaks oozed from the corners of his eyes. The feeling of dizziness in his mind reminded him that the control power of [Pupil of True Vision] wanted to control 7 people at the same time, including two people with good mental power, even if it was only for a second, it was almost overdrawn all of his mental power. For the next three to five days, I am afraid that I will be tormented by severe headaches.
The price is heavy, but the effect is good.
The three people closest to the epicenter of the explosion were shattered by the powerful shock wave, bleeding from all seven orifice, and died on the spot.
A few people who were a little farther away were also swept away by the surging air waves for several meters, and their exposed skin was cut one by one by the fragments of beast bones that flew away.
The wound looked hideous, but fortunately it was only some external injury, and it did not hurt the vital point of being defended by armor. Several people got up with disgraced faces, their ears buzzing, and their consciousness was blurred.
But before they could recover from the aftermath of the explosion, they suddenly noticed a large shadow hanging over their heads.
"What the hell is this?" One of the most capable people in the team to wake up was stunned, and when he saw the true face of the shadow, he was so frightened that he even forgot to escape.
"Don't, don't come here......"
"Ahh
……
When the shaking woods regained calm, Chen Yu jumped down from the treetops several meters high and turned to leave.
Judging from the equipment and combat capabilities of this group of people, most of them came from a large force, and it was very likely that they were an advance team. The trouble is that most of them still have a receiving force, and they are not too far away. If it is entangled, there is a high probability that it will be entangled or even surrounded by a large army, turning into a turtle in an urn.
This time the movement is a bit big, if the terrifying monsters in the depths of the Sunset Forest are alarmed...... That's no joke.
In addition, from the moment this group of people appeared, Chen Yu had a feeling of being peeped at, but he could never find the corresponding object. This made him very uneasy.
"Bang ......"
A approaching, highly decomposed living corpse was shattered by half of its head, and its stiff body shook a few times before it fell down unwillingly.
Not far away, the heavy fishy smell was blown by the wind in the forest, and the dense living corpses were like clockwork puppets, and they pounced in this direction.
This was already the edge of the safe zone, and the power of the Holy Flame was negligible, and it was no longer able to suppress the living corpses that had been heavily contaminated by the forces on the side of the abyss.
Eighty percent of humanity in the Old World died in the cataclysm, and then became living corpses that were neither human nor ghostly, wandering like ghosts on the edge of the world where the flames and stars could not shine.
The sheer number of living corpses is just an appetizer, and these former human ancestors have long since lost their minds, and among the many kinds of contaminated creatures and mutants, they can only be regarded as the lowest level of horses and food.
Heat and noise, which have a strong attraction to them. And once the living corpse appears, the higher-level monsters that follow it are not far away.
It's really a bad era, Chen Yu scolded in his heart, and his pace sped up a little more.
These monsters have seen a lot, and it is inevitable that they will be affected physically and psychologically. Many hunters who explore the wasteland have lost themselves completely in the spiritual dilemma of despair, gloom and self-doubt in the battle day after day.
Fortunately, I have a warm home and the most sensible and lovely sister, who can heal the wounded spirit.
He exhaled heavily, blowing away some of the hot smoke that swirled around the barrel of his double-barreled shotgun, and waited for the pungent smell of gunpowder to dissipate a bit before stuffing it back into his marching backpack. Then he turned around and got on his motorcycle and galloped away.
I think this level of lesson is enough to impress those people!
Although the other party may be tracking and retaliating, he has little to worry about.
Because this is a wasteland, a dangerous place where radiation, mutant beasts, and pollution can be seen everywhere, the weight of luck is especially heavy to survive here. In the vast wasteland, trying to find someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack!
Moreover, in case those people are accidentally attacked by mutant beasts, or mutated by radiation erosion, or even trapped in a dangerous ruin somewhere......
Well, the pattern has to be opened, in case the enemy is crazy and dies in a group! Isn't it completely eliminated hidden dangers!
Chen Yu's thoughts ran uncontrollably, and the expression on his face became more and more relaxed. No matter how hard life is, learn to decompress yourself in a proper way, if you don't want to become a madman and a monster.
Even in the old earth era, the truth of the old world can still be applied to certain occasions, for example, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, and for example, Murphy's law!
……
"Sneeze ......"
Joe suddenly sneezed, and a chill inexplicably rose in his heart.
Could this feeling of déjà vu be that some family member in the distance is viciously blessing him?
Well, that's probably what happened! He muttered:
"Interesting. Keeper of the Age? No matter how you look at it, it's more like a night watcher. Psychic shocks, essentia camouflage, gunpowder, traps, and plants that have apparently mutated several times...... Interlocking, the layout is quite meticulous. Miles, a fool who sees money, can really provoke enemies. But for the sake of a black crystal, although I didn't get it, it makes sense. ”
A middle-aged fat man with a short figure followed behind him, he squinted slightly, his face was kind, and he looked like a housekeeper, and the whole person looked honest and steady.
He bowed and asked softly, "Young Master......"
Joe's face looked as if a mask had just been removed, and the clouds of nervousness, panic, and irritation swept away, and he smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, Uncle Nick, thanks to this little guy for helping us clean up the lineup and clutter!
Leave him to the gang of senators, I have a hunch that he will surprise me.
Next, we can travel lightly and compete for the one prophesied by His Excellency Dowling, the Great Prophet...... Relic of the Holy Realm. That's the only occasion worthy of your own shot! ”
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "But, ...... Madame?"
Joe looked up at the blue sky, a few puffy clouds cut apart by the dense foliage of the forest. He raised his hand to cover the sunlight that fell into his pupils, and said softly:
"You mean my dear aunt? Oh, she only has money and power in her heart, and she can't hold superfluous things! Isn't it just that a son died, and not that the whole family was carried into the coffin, she would soon get used to it. And, soon she will understand that this is just the beginning, and she has to get used to it! ”
“……”
"Speaking of the most sad and sad person, it should be me, who has suffered heavy losses, the seventh heir to the Keynesian family, a close cousin and an elite personal guard team have all been lost here, and can only continue to carry out the extremely dangerous tasks assigned by the family alone."
He closed his eyes and spread his arms.
"The wind is blowing......"
"Fallen leaves do not exist only in autumn, but throughout the life of trees, but only the autumn wind can blow off all the decaying and senescent leaves on the branches. And only in this way will new life germinate. ”
"It turns out that you already know what happened back then." The middle-aged man looked at Qiao's back, and was in a trance for a while, as if there was an old man hidden in the mist of time, which was gradually overlapping with his figure.
The middle-aged man quickly restrained his emotion and said with a smile, "Then, as you wish!" ”
He solemnly and respectfully bowed to Joe:
"Nick Henry will be your most loyal servant at all times, just as he did to your late father, Mr. Rod Keynes!"
Joe also returned the salute solemnly, "For a strong man like you, the Keynes family is too small, limiting your soaring skies. But I will not forget your sacrifice. It is an honor for my father and me to receive your commitment. ”
