Chapter 13 Drawing the Bird Out of the Hole
After confirming that Luke had the ability to kill crows, several people felt much calmer, and Mason looked at his son with relief, as if he wanted to get to know him again, this child who was not yet an adult was now the one who had mastered the power of thunder and fire, and was their savior.
They gathered around and began to discuss countermeasures. Old Mason summed up the pattern observed in the past few days, these crows generally set off in the early hours of the morning, when people are more sleepy, and enter the warehouse through the wall to attack. They appear to have a limited ability to penetrate walls, and are generally passed through thinner areas of the wall, or directly through the wooden planks that seal the glass.
According to the information summarized by Mason Sr., Luke gave most of the salt bullets he was carrying with him to Mason and Refit, and let the two of them assist with the farm's shotguns. Luke is ambushed at the window, waiting for the crow to come to the door.
At this time, it was just nightfall, and the two surviving crows began a new round of activity. Although he did not rush into the warehouse to attack, he kept hovering nearby, occasionally grabbing the bones and internal organs of some livestock, and swooping down and throwing them at the door or window of the warehouse. The crowd who had already planned how to fight back was no longer as panicked and frightened as before, and calmly watched the crows' performance, as if they were looking at two clumsy clowns, and let out a contemptuous sneer.
The two crows, as if sensing the contempt of the people inside the warehouse, became more and more irritable, and began to pound the window seals, and stood on the broken glass, flapping their dark wings, and staring at the room with their eyes, and let out a terrible scream.
But a few people in the warehouse only treated them as dead crows. Little Porter also joked: "This crow's paw is exactly the same as my hen." After speaking, he also learned to crow a chicken, and the attributes of the little sunspot were exposed.
Although it was a very childish joke, it inexplicably poked the laughter of several people who had been suppressed for several days, and suddenly the room burst into laughter, full of a happy atmosphere.
The two crows became more and more angry, one fluttered its wings and flew into the sky, then circled a few times, and flew straight from the outside of the house to the warehouse, and when it was about to hit the wall, its body suddenly blurred, passed through, entered the room, and pounced on little Porter, who was laughing backwards and backwards.
Luke, Mason, and Refit had already raised their vigilance when the crow circled up, and the three of them divided their work, Luke dealt with one alone, and Mason and Refitt coordinated to shoot alternately and involve one.
Luke topped up Winchester, and the psionic energy covered it in an instant, and pushed little Potter away, the hard butt of the gun filled with thunder and fire, and slammed into the path of the crow's swoop.
The crow that flew in seemed to know how powerful he was, and did not have the same iron as the first, and waved its wings to stir up the air, bringing out a gust of evil wind, and narrowly dodged it.
Luke, who missed the blow, stabilized his body, bent his legs down to accumulate strength, kicked the ground his toes, and instantly completed a turnaround jump, and launched a relentless pursuit.
The crow's flight speed was greatly reduced due to the sudden change of direction, and it was limited by the complex warehouse environment, but in two or three seconds, before it could fully pull up its shape, it was caught up by Luke.
Without the ability to avail, to Luke they are like a slightly stronger normal bird, no more powerful than an eagle. With the force of the sprint, he caught up with the crow in two or three steps, and the butt of the rifle in his hand fell mercilessly.
The crow, who couldn't dodge it, activated the void ability again, but the spiritual energy on the body of the spear had been waiting for a long time, and before it could touch the crow, it had already begun to flash with electric light, and there was a "zizi" chirp.
As the butt of the gun accurately hit the crow's body, the thunder fell and fired, and the thunder burst out of the crow's body with silver-white electric light and bright yellow flames, and then exploded into a ball of light, and the violent light exploded and then faded in an instant, leaving only the charred crow to fall to the ground like a rag ball, turning into a puff of black smoke and disappearing without a trace.
Luke didn't have time to catch his breath and rest, looking at another battle.
Mason and Refitt have been attacked many times in the past few days they have been trapped, and they are very familiar with how to use salt bombs to resist the crow's attack after the crow's blurring, and there was no way to completely eliminate the crow before, plus the ammunition is limited, so they can only protect themselves and let the crow run rampant for a while before leaving.
At this time, with Luke's participation and replenishment of ammunition, the two of them were no longer unable to let go of their hands and feet as they had been a few days ago. When the crow pounced, the two took turns firing their guns, using salt bullets to distort the enemy's characteristics and impact, making it impossible for the crow to get close.
The crow attacked several times without success, and seeing that his companion had died tragically under the butt of Luke's rifle, he retreated and tried to run out of the window.
Mason and Reffett fired another series of shots, blocking the crow's escape route and delaying Luke's arrival.
Unable to escape through the weak exit for a while, the crow flew around on the roof of the warehouse, and in a hurry, it reflexively attacked Lillian, who was unarmed and temporarily alone. Williams.
Lillian herself has a slow temperament, and in the face of the crow that suddenly flew in, her heart was filled with fear and panic for a while, and she didn't know how to dodge, and stood in place.
The crow probed its sharp beak close to Lillian's face, pecking at the eyeball. At the last moment, the spiritual energy in Luke's mind suddenly boiled, trying his best to extend out of his body, but he could not get rid of it, and the agitated spiritual energy was washed and swollen in his brain, and it was violently consumed.
His five senses were strengthened like never before, and every blow of the crow's flight in his eyes seemed incomparably slow, and every detail of the pitch-black feathers, dry claws, sharp beaks, and even ripples in the air was clearly visible, as if swimming in slow motion in the water, or as if time had been slowed down and frozen.
He attached the little psionic energy he had to Winchester in his hand, and threw the gun out with a flick of his hand.
The psionic energy was exhausted, the feeling of time slowing down suddenly disappeared, and Luke collapsed to the ground like a detachment, his eyes followed Winchester's rapid flight, and he crashed straight into the crow that had pounced on Lillian, knocking it away, and the psionic energy on the body of the spear burst and stimulated, and the thunder and flames wrapped the crow in it, completely destroying it.
Seeing that Lilian was out of danger, Luke breathed a sigh of relief, lay on the ground in big letters, and was too lazy to move, silently urged the golden finger, opened the attribute panel, and sure enough, a new skill was added.
[Bullet Time]: Overload a large amount of psionic energy in the brain, greatly strengthen the five senses, and achieve the bullet time effect of slowing down time.
This [Bullet Time] skill has no connection to the original Matrix movie skill, but is only named after Luke's perception of the identification ability.
Independently developed a skill, which is easy to use, but it consumes too much spiritual energy, and it only evaporates 40 points of spiritual energy in an instant, and the whole person is almost squeezed dry. Luke thought to himself, it seems that this skill can only be used in the most critical moments.
