Chapter 548: Brother One
[Thank you for this month's monthly pass support and β©β©reward!
It was late at night, and a mountain wolf was curled up in its den and sleeping deeply. The relatives of this wilderness corpse wolf are much more muscular, covered in long, grayish-white hair, and their strong limbs can eject Ugin-like claws, allowing the mountain wolf to tear open the body of its prey. The mutant beasts in the tundra land have more or less the ability to have an ice elemental affinity, and the mountain wolf is no exception. These mountain-dwelling beasts are capable of spewing low-temperature frost mist, which is a limited threat to other mutant beasts. But for humans, when ordinary people are sprayed by the freezing mist, their limbs will stiffen and their movements will slow down. At this time, they are destined to become a delicious feast for mountain wolves.
The mountain wolf, like its other relatives, has a very sensitive sense of smell. Even in a deep sleep, the smell that wafts into the nose as the air wafts through the nerve centers analyzes it to draw various conclusions. At this time, the mountain wolf suddenly woke up with a stirring spirit, because it smelled the scent of humans.
In the tundra, of course, there will be human beings. However, compared to the various advanced life forms that have evolved intelligence, human beings are too scarce in terms of both number and distribution. There are even many alien races that occasionally sweep away the human race, so as to capture them back as slaves. In the case of the mountain wolf, a mutant animal, they prefer to treat humans as tasty food.
Their blood and flesh are rare ingredients, and even the bones are unforgettable. The mountain wolf remembered the person he had eaten recently, and it was already last year. But until now, it has not been forgotten.
In the darkness, a few more flashes of light. It was two wolf cubs and a she-wolf, they were the family of this male mountain wolf, and the mountain wolf hunted not only for himself, but also for the continuation of his family. It stood up and let out a few low cries into the darkness, signaling the cubs and she-wolf to stay in the den. It itself wagged its tail and slowly poked out of its hideout.
The mountain wolf has excellent night vision, and it has two different visions. At night, infrared vision allows it to see a blood-sucking mosquito up to 100 meters away. During the day, a shading film also falls behind the eyelids to reduce the damage caused to the eyes by the snowdrift's reflection of the skylight.
Now, the mountain wolf's infrared vision activated, and three figures appeared in its line of sight.
It inhabits the mountains and usually makes its home not far from the base of the mountain for the convenience of hunting. The slope here is larger, and when a suitable prey is found to pass by, it can be accelerated by a dive to make a shock. Now, the mountain wolf was lying on the ground with its whole body, its belly pressed against the ground. The cold of the ground made it energetic, and it was excited, but by no means reckless.
There were three people on the other side, and they were walking up the hillside. The distribution of one in front and two in the back is destined to only pounce on the man in front, but when it evacuates, it needs to guard the man and woman in the back. After all, the two men were carrying what was supposed to be a weapon on their backs. But there is no long-barreled shotgun that scares the mountain wolf, and in the last year it has tried to attack several humans, eventually allowing it to kill one of them, only to be shot in the leg with a shotgun by the deceased's companion as it leaves.
It remembered this incident very well, and at the same time knew that human gunpowder weapons were so powerful that even a strong guy like it would die if he hit it in the head. Among the three people down the slope, except for the man who walked in the front, who was carrying a similar weapon, the other two were obviously holding a cold weapon with a sword, which also strengthened the mountain wolf's decision to target the man led by the mountain wolf.
It's waiting, and the mountain wolf's patience has always been good. It can do it even if it's squatting in the snow and ice for a day, and it waits patiently. Fifty meters is the best distance for it to pounce, and it can instantly bite the man's throat and drag the carcass of its prey deep into the mountains before the other two can react. After the deceased's companion leaves, it drags the prey home. In this way, its family will not be afraid of going without food for the next month.
It's the perfect jihua. The mountain wolf is not intelligent enough to understand a word like jihua, but for it it is a tactic, often used and tried and tested.
Finally, in a patient waiting. The footsteps were getting closer, and the man at the head appeared at the right distance. The mountain wolf burst out, and its powerful hind feet kicked the ground, stepping on a puff of snow. It leaned forward, matching the slope of the hill to exert its speed to the limit, like a flash of white lightning, and in an instant, the mountain wolf had arrived.
With another kick on his hind foot, the wolf jumped up and fell towards the man in a graceful arc. Half a second later, it clasps its prey's limbs with its sharp claws and bites open its neck with its sharp teeth, killing humans instantly.
Everything seems so good.
Until a female companion behind him snapped a red light from his fingers.
The wolf still heard the sound of something cracking.
With a "hiss", it felt very cold, and the surging vitality also faded quickly, so that the body that should have pounced on the man fell at its feet. It wanted to breathe, but it felt that this normal action was quite difficult to do now. Then a thick, warm liquid flowed from underneath, and the wolf struggled to look down at him, a patch of crimson blood staining the snow red.
It was as bright red as the blood it shed when it hit a human shotgun, only this time, it seemed to be bleeding too much.
Before it could comprehend death, its brain stopped working due to lack of oxygen. The wolf would never have known that the woman's random flash of light sliced its throat like a sharp saber, a terrible wound that nearly decapitated it!
Su clapped his hands and said to Chao Feng, "Bring it so that we will have something to eat tomorrow." β
Kaede showed an exaggerated expression and said, "You're going to let me carry a wolf corpse?"
"Do you want this lady to do such a thing?"
Su stood up proudly, showed a charming smile, and suddenly looked at Feng Feng. Then he looked up to the sky and snorted, "Lady?"
But Zuihou still walked towards the corpse, and his hand hadn't touched the wolf corpse yet. Kaede suddenly flashed to the side, and another mountain wolf pounced directly down the slope and bit at Kaede fiercely. If Kaede had shrunk his hand slowly, I'd have bitten it early. The mountain wolf forced Kaede back, but instead of chasing, he lowered his head, choked out of his throat and arched his head at the dead kind.
This is a she-wolf, Kaede just wanted to kill it, but heard Zero say, "Forget it, the remaining nutrients are enough for us to reach the Storm Fortress, there is no need to bring cumbersome food." β
Kaede then distracted, and the she-wolf pushed the male wolf's corpse up the slope. The three of them saw a hidden cave above, and the she-wolf dragged the body into the cave and came out again, staring at the three people below with her eyes glowing red.
"Let's go. Zero said lightly, just about to take a step. Suddenly, as if he had seen something, he quickly looked up in the direction of the she-wolf.
At some point, a tall figure appeared behind the she-wolf. It was a man, standing like a ghost behind a she-wolf, following the arc of electricity in his palm. He gently slapped his palm on the head of the she-wolf, and the she-mountain wolf immediately trembled, and in the blink of an eye, a few wisps of black smoke rose from her whole body.
When the she-wolf fell to the ground, the man walked into the wolf's burrow as if nothing had happened. The next moment, a few rays of lightning popped out of the cave, and then he walked out again, looked at Zero and said lightly: "Your kindness will always kill yourself one day, Zero." β
Zero's pupils shrank, and he responded: "Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots may not be the only rule of survival, do you say yes, honorable Commander Thor?"
It's hard to believe that Thor has appeared somewhere on Mount Tulash on this quiet night. No matter how you look at it, his arrival is not a good thing, but a huge change.
Su Mo was silent, believing that Zero would take care of everything, while Kaede smiled, but a pair of eyes swirled around Thor, recklessly searching for the Legion's flaws. Sol was stunned and walked slowly up the slope: "Anyway, it's great to be able to zaijian you." You know, I came all the way to find you before you even reached the green capital. So tell me, what about Staley, did you kill me?"
"Betrayer, Zero!"
Zero Yizheng then shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, Thor. What a betrayer, and Staley. He's still alive and well, right north in the Silent Continent. If you don't believe me, the eldest brother will go there and find him himself. β
"Okay, then leave Starley's life and death aside. Thor's face suddenly turned grim, and he shouted: "Please tell me first, Zero, Weishenme is going to betray Asgard!"
Zero Yi's face turned cold, and he said lightly: "Like I said just now, Thor, I don't understand what you mean at all." β
"Then let me tell you. Remember Wren?"
"Wren?" Zero naturally remembered the Golden Tomahawk Centurion who had disappeared in Hobbiston, "We were separated from him in the Bazaar, and because of this, Captain Staley and I signed a joint report for the soldiers to take back to the front and hand over to you." Don't you know?"
At this time, it was Thor's turn to sign slightly: "You said that Wren is missing, and Staley also knows about it?"
"Obviously, Captain Staley and I were suddenly attacked by a large number of ice scaled scorpions in the Hobbiestone Market. When we cleaned up the bazaar, we found that Wren's 100 men were gone, and his team, including the lieutenant, had all been killed. Because of the seriousness of the situation, Captain Staley and I signed the report. Zero paused, frowned, and said, "But now it seems that you didn't receive that report?"
Thor showed a thoughtful expression: "It seems that things are a little strange, if Staley also signs, then I can trust your words for the time being." Listen, zero. You're in a terrible situation right now. Wren returns to the front lines and accuses you of betraying Asgard. And I'm here to investigate this!"
Zero didn't speak, and Su blurted out: "This can't be, everything we do, all according to the instructions, how can we betray Asgard." β
Thor glanced at her, then stared at Zero, "Then can you tell me if you have betrayed us?Are you planning to take possession of the celestial weapons of the Green Capital, and then use them to dominate the continent?And, the reason why the three of you are here, all of this, I need a clear answer from you." β
Hearing Thor say this, Zero laughed instead, "That's what Wren said about me? β
"Thor, I didn't betray Asgard. Believe it or not. Zero took out a smart brain: "Secondly, we will be here." It's all because of this, you came just in time, so please see if it's me who betrayed me, or if you're the most haode brother. Our supreme leader, Lord Tyr, is using power for personal gain!"
Clicking on the communication record provided by Betsy, Zero handed the brain to Thor. Thor took the brain in disbelief and scanned the records at a speed no less than zero. In these images, Tyr's ambitions and conspiracy are clearly recorded, including assigning Betsy and others to attack Zero, and having Bane disguise himself as Zero to attack Wren, so as to achieve the purpose of framing Zero.
"This war itself is a conspiracy, Thor. We, including you, all of the Hammer of Doom warriors have been used by your most Haode brother as a tool for his ambitions!" Zero exclaimed, "Take a good look, Thor. We can't let this war continue, do you know what the so-called celestial weapons are in the hands of the green capital?"
"It wasn't a weapon at all, it was an atmospheric purifier. The Gegna call it the Shield of Netherres, and this is an important jishu, and if it can be popularized and the devices that are deployed around the world can be used as nodes, we can artificially create an energy shield similar to the ozone layer. In this way, the atmosphere will be purified, resources will be reborn, and humans and aliens will coexist. Do you still think that this war is necessary?"
Thor didn't answer, and after watching all the videos, he said to himself, "So, Tyr not only lied to me, but also deceived my father, including the whole of Asgard?"
"It's obvious. β
"But I think it's a joke. Thor suddenly laughed: "Zero, you shouldn't be naΓ―ve to think that with this one-sided so-called evidence, you want me to suspect the brothers who grew up together, right?"
"Don't you think, that's ridiculous?" Thor said with an arc of electricity in his hand, and after a crackling sound in his brain, a wisp of black smoke popped out, announcing that it was scrapped.
Zero San's faces changed in unison, especially Zero. The difference in his face now was a few points worse than that of having the Kazeras army surround him.
Just because the only evidence that can point to Tyr and prove his innocence is ruined in the hands of Thor!
"The man who slandered my brother is nearby? Good, a shameful man like that, let him disappear forever. Thor said calmly.
