Chapter 409: Extermination (2)
[Today's earthquake in Ya'an, Sichuan, let us silently pray for the people in the disaster area, hoping that they are safe. ]
Rumble!
In the midst of a deep explosion, the bark of a large area of ancient trees exploded, revealing a deep passageway. Explosions like these rang out in the forest, and soldiers planted plastic bombs at the entrance to the city of Bides, and then forcibly blasted the hollow trees that were used to cover them up through the breaches. Immediately, the city of Pydes, as if it were undefended, was exposed to human sight.
Beonise fiddles with a small device like a pocket-sized brain, a sonar detector provided by the Helburn family. It can detect complex geographical environments through sound propagation, and is mostly used for the development of mineral deposits. It can use a variety of sound waves of different frequencies to vibrate in a complex way through an area, so that a geo-stereo map of the area is displayed on the screen, and it is easy to discover the entrance to the city of Bides.
After blasting through the passage, the soldiers poured into the dungeon through several entrances. This time, Beonliz only brought an army of about 3,000 men, after all, the main force of the city of Beatis had been lost in Pavarich. According to the information that Zero brought back before, there are now most dwarven slaves left in the city of Bides. It's just that the number of hard servants is at least about two thousand, and in the face of this huge base, Beonliz dispatched so many people to facilitate the control of the captives.
Soon, the soldiers and the hundred or so guards left behind in the dungeon began to exchange fire. In the dense gunfire, accompanied by the shrill sound of bazookas from time to time, it advanced into the depths. The Dungeon Guards attacked desperately, but unfortunately they were outnumbered, making resistance a pointless movement. The battle ended after 20 minutes, with all the guards wiped out, but two hundred corpses left on the human side. This is due to the strength of the dungeon warriors, as well as the complex environment of the branches, which makes the soldiers' firepower scattered and unable to achieve centralized annihilation.
Half an hour later, all the dwarven slaves were gathered in the loading and unloading plaza where they had previously traded with Pavaridge. Under the muzzle of the soldier's black hole, the dwarves were divided into two groups. Wolf-like soldiers guarded them, under the orders of the commander, waiting for Beonlis's arrival.
Zero accompanied Beonlix to the square, and when he saw the two groups of dwarves in black pressure, he couldn't help but feel emotional. This is an era of individual cannibalism, this is an era of plunder. Human beings not only compete with themselves, but also need to compete with other intelligent life forms for limited living space. If it weren't for the emergence of a capable person among the human race, then the current scene in the city of Beatis might have played out in a human town.
At this time, Beonise didn't know what to say to the commander. The commander nodded, and immediately made a neck wipe gesture toward the group of dwarves on the left.
Gunshots rang out.
Hundreds of rifles opened fire at the same time, and the dense line of fire pierced the dwarf's body. They died in the screams, and moments later, the gunfire stopped, leaving nearly a thousand dwarven corpses in the square.
The blood, gathered into a pool of blood, and spread out in all directions. The soldiers remained motionless, letting the blood of the alien spill over their shoes.
Zero's face was pale.
Beonlis, however, did not change her face, and said to the dwarves on her right, "None of you speak our language. I need a translator, as if I didn't, and unfortunately, they are what will happen to you. ”
She pointed to the corpses in the square.
Among the dwarves, the supervisor who had done the handover with the caravan that day, and then walked out with the director who had gone to Pavaric first to ask for instructions. It whispered, "Ma'am, I think I can do it for you." ”
"Very well, what's your name?"
"Brie. ”
"Haode Brie, from now on, you are their leader. Tell them that the time of the city of Beates is over. I know that you are the builders and creators of this city, and you will have to work as well. It's just that the object of service has become someone else, but I can guarantee that you will be better off than here. But," Beonise said in a long voice, "if anyone resists, then the next corpse will be it!"
Brie shuddered when she heard the undisguised murderous look in the woman's tone. Dwarves are no more than warriors and nobles, and their origins are predestined long on the day they are born. They live at the highest point of the city of Beates, but at the bottom of the entire stratum. They are industrious, but at the same time timid and cowardly. They are afraid of death, and Brie is no exception, as long as they can live, it doesn't make a difference who they serve.
So after Brie conveyed Beonlis's meaning, none of the dwarves dared to resist. The corpses of the thousands of the same kind in the square on the other side had already crushed their remaining courage into powder.
The rest of the story was relatively simple, and at Beonlise's behest, the commander had the soldiers issue each of the remaining thousand dwarves a set of shackles to make sure they couldn't escape. The slaves were then escorted out of the dungeon by soldiers, who were then loaded onto trucks and escorted back to Pavarich by about 2,000 soldiers. After reuniting with the captives in Pavarich, he returned to Asgard to carry out the early stage of slave domestication.
In this regard, the Black Rose family already has a complete set of domestication procedures and is very experienced.
As for Beonlis, she and the rest of the soldiers remained in the city of Beates, temporarily taking over the management of the entire dungeon until the arrival of Charlotte and Austin, the two old men, who handed it over to them. At this moment, Beonise and a hundred soldiers were heading towards the bottom of the dungeon. Zero followed her, while Su and Berrion stayed in the central square.
Beonlise's goal is obvious, it is in the direction of the Well of the Abyss. Zero walked behind her without saying a word, Beonlise felt it and smiled: "Think I went too far just now?"
"I know you weishenme do this. The first is to establish authority; the second is to reduce the number of slaves to avoid insufficient care; and the third is to raise the value of slaves, after all, the smaller the base, the greater the individual value. Zero smiled bitterly: "It's just that I'm still not used to killing so many creatures that have no ability to resist in one go." ”
"I thought you were going to put on a set of righteous morality. Beonise smiled lightly, and then her expression became cold: "If it was a time of peace, I wouldn't want to do that." Unfortunately, there is no room for weakness in this era, and even if it is benevolent, there are limits. You're all right, and it shows that you're perfectly adapted to the rules of the game of this era. It's just that you've never stood at the same level as me, that's why you have the idea of being 'unaccustomed'. ”
"To my position, or to stand taller. You will find that these 'unaccustomed' ideas are a luxury. We don't have a lot of options, do we?"
Zero silence.
The path Beonlise has walked, he is walking now, and must go further. On this path, he knows that many things will subvert his perceptions, and sometimes even do things that go against his principles. As Beonise said, standing in the position of a guide, every decision he makes is not only related to himself, but also to the many people who serve him.
At some point, principles also need to be compromised for the sake of profit. Unless, Zero can find a way to coexist.
And this is as difficult as it is for human beings to coexist with other intelligent beings.
All the way down.
When there is no elevator as a tool to make it profitable, it is not possible to use the space-like piercing edge like zero. Beonris, who measured the depth of the dungeon with her own footsteps, spent nearly two hours before she saw the well of the abyss.
"Oh my God, it's a miracle. Beonise stood at the borehole, looked at the deep oil lake below, and exclaimed, "It's unthinkable that oil could be found under the mountains." ”
Zero held his chin with one hand and said, "The movement of the earth's crust, coupled with the fact that the underground people are good at digging. Perhaps it was these fortuitous factors that caused the inevitable result now. But don't you regret giving so much black gold to Charlotte?"
Beonlise didn't answer and asked, "There are quite a few slaves captured this time, why don't I send you another two hundred?"
Zero shook his head and said, "I can't afford to keep that many slaves." ”
"Me too. Beonise blinked, "Too great a benefit, if there is no appetite to match it." If you barely eat it, you will only burst your stomach. Black gold is good, but I have already received the expected returns, and as far as my family's ability is concerned, I can only digest these things for the time being. As for them, leave it to Charlotte them. ”
"I would be glad if they focused most of their attention on the city of Beates, because of the huge interests of the black gold. This means that they will not be able to put too much effort into other areas, and I will be able to catch up with them. A lot of times, the benefits aren't just what you see. ”
Zero listened silently and took the woman's words to heart. Beonise has her own philosophy of life, and although Zero doesn't have to copy hers, it's very good to use it for reference.
Beonise continues to observe the wonderful place of the Well of the Abyss, while Zero receives a message from Brown over the radio: "Head, you'd better come here, we've found something interesting." ”
Moments later, Zero arrives at the place Brown has designated. This is a building located under the loading and unloading square, and it is supposed to be a greenhouse used by the underground people to raise their offspring, and the temperature and humidity inside are maintained at a certain level. And what occupies the entire greenhouse is a dense collection of eggs!
Brown took a life detector from the soldier, and he handed it to Zero. Zero saw that the instrument showed that there was a life reaction in these tall giant eggs. Brown said, "When I was up there, they detected that there was still life below, so I followed, and I didn't expect to see these things." What should I do? Take them all back?"
"No, destroy them all. Zero thought for a moment and said.
"Are you sure?"
Zero nodded heavily.
Brown spread his hands and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”
He walked away and asked the soldier to bring the flamethrower. The next moment, the greenhouse was illuminated by firelight, and a pale blue flame with a temperature of more than a thousand degrees whistled in the greenhouse. The surface of the eggshell first carbonized rapidly, and then crackled and exploded. The eggshell shattered, and the thick, light-gray liquid splattered instantly. But instead of lowering the surrounding flames, these liquids act as accelerants to make the flames burn stronger.
Inside the eggshell is a body wrapped in liquid. They are not in the same form and are fully developed at the end, and only one rudimentary form is seen. But they were apparently alive, and as soon as they were roasted by the flames, they immediately writhed. But there was no sound, as if the vocal organs had not yet grown, so these still unborn underground people were all buried in the flames.
"Is there any smoke?" asked Zero Brown.
Brown gave him a strange look, and then pulled out a pack of cigarettes on his body. Zero smoked a cigarette, flicked his fingers, and a small flame grew between his fingers, lit the cigarette, and walked away. Brown had just seen it clearly, and the little flame that Zero had generated seemed to shake violently.
After taking two deep puffs of the cigarette, Zero exhaled. There was a feeling of depression in his chest, and his palms trembled slightly. Just now, one of his orders made a species completely history. Zero never relented on the battlefield, but this time, he felt his body tremble.
It wasn't fear, it wasn't excitement, it was something else.
But even if he were asked to choose again, he would give the same order. Reason told him that this was the right choice, that the city of Pydes had been buried in the hands of humans, and that allowing the descendants of the underworld to remain would only create a fertile ground for the seeds of hatred to sprout. Therefore, it is better to burn the seeds completely at the beginning.
Bang Bang Bang -
There was still a small crackling sound in the greenhouse, and the sound could be heard far away in the silent dungeon. Between prayers above the Well of the Abyss, the door was slowly closed by a pair of firm hands, closing the crack outside.
Meslitt burst into tears, and strangely enough, his face was calm and terrifying. After fleeing from the Frosty Forest, the Priest found that his people were being escorted away by human soldiers in a truck. Methrite knew that the dungeon was now occupied by humans, and it wasn't that it didn't expect humans to come by the tail, but it didn't expect humans to come so quickly.
So it went through a secret passage to the prayer room, hoping that it would still have time to save the people who had not hatched. It's a pity that even this zuihou hope was ruthlessly buried in the flames.
"Unforgivable!" Meslitt said through gritted teeth.
Approaching the portrait of Naga between prayers, Mesriit slapped the portrait heavily. The wall behind the portrait immediately slid inward a few feet, the ground shook slightly, and a stone platform rose from below. On the surface of the stone platform, there is a depression in the middle, and there are four crystal grooves connecting the depression of the table from different directions, extending to the bottom of the stone platform, forming a symbol of special significance, and finally submerging on the ground.
Methrite said in a tone full of resentment, "My king Naga, your subjects are hereby calling to awaken from the abyss. Our people have almost perished at the hands of mankind, so please avenge us and kill all the damned humans. As for your incomplete genes, I, Meslit, will offer them to you!"
With that, Meslitt raised her right hand and thrust it into her chest again. Immediately, blood splattered. Meslitt didn't want to stop, still digging his arm deep into his chest, and Zuihou suddenly grabbed an oval hedron that shone with a faint red glow. This is Meslit's crystal nucleus, a heart-like existence, in which Meslit's complete life genes are preserved!
