Chapter 734: Haraka Theater
[Thanks to Brother Xiang, Dragon who can only eat vegetarians, Very Tiger, just for reading, Mrrar and other big monthly pass support!!]
Coming out of the east gate of Dawn City, drive along a broken road, about 300 meters or so, and you will enter another block. Once the battlefield of golden tomahawks and fierce battles between the races, now that Tyr is gone, Hefitus is reduced to ashes, and only the scorched black of the collapsed buildings and ruined walls recounts the raging flames of war.
In the eastern part of the city, the Haraka Grand Theatre has fortunately survived, and most of its main buildings are still undamaged, except that the former theater has now become a lair of living corpses, and it is also the target of this operation in Dawn.
The Theatre is built in the Gothic style and is decorated in an intricate and elaborate style that makes it look like it was a product of the 16th century. The towers on both sides of the building are decorated with countless sculptures and patterns, making the theater look more like a castle from a distance.
Outside the theater there is a large square with a statue erected in the middle of the square. It's just that now the upper half of the statue is gone, and I don't know what kind of image it was. Under the statue is a fountain, of course, there is no water in the pool at all, only a crack in the wall of the pool.
There are some green belts around the square, but now all that remains is a square stone trough with gravel. Even the sign at the main entrance of the theater was half off, hanging down and hanging at the entrance of the gate, swaying gently with a gust of wind blowing from time to time.
The Grand Theatre is no longer what it used to be, and the glory of the past has quietly faded, and now all that remains is dilapidated and decayed. The sewers are much more complete than the buildings on the theater ground, and the passages here are intricately intertwined to form a large underground labyrinth. In the past, sewers were the kingdom of rats and cockroaches. Now, it is a paradise for another kind of life.
A mutant rat fled in panic, now larger than its older siblings, with a puppy-like body that allowed them to store more energy, and the extra four eyes allowed them to see more in order to detect danger or prey.
The mutant rat jumped into a drain, which had become very dry, and there was a gap not far away, and it was its nest that was buried into it. But it was destined not to return, and suddenly a black shadow scurried over a rusty pipe above its head, followed by a thin shadow that slanted and pointed at the head of the mutant rat. The mutant rat trembled violently, it was a strange tongue. It is slender as a finger, with hollow inner walls, piercing into the head of the mutant rat like a straw, sucking its brain.
When it was clean, the monster on the pipe jumped off. It had a human face, and it was a bald man. The upper body is no different from a normal person, but the limbs are like some reptiles, with scales and claws, and a lizard-like tail from the waist down. At this time, its tail cracked, and many tentacles stretched out from it, and the mutant beast was wrapped up and torn with force, tearing the giant rat to pieces.
Suddenly, it was covered in blood, but it excitedly stretched out its tongue and licked it on itself. As for the torn rat carcasses, they were all thrown into their mouths and chewed. Then there was a chewing sound in the sewers, and the smell palpitated.
These are creepers, sentinels of living corpses, and can roam underground tunnels even during the day. The scope of their activities is also limited, confined to the theater and the area around the square. Creepers are very sensitive to vibrations and heat sources, and once a vehicle or creature enters the theater range, it is largely impossible to escape their perception. At this point, they usually choose to attack, and if the intruder is too strong, they will notify their theatre mates to call for backup.
Unlike ordinary living corpses, they act on instinct, and mutant species, including creepers, are already intelligent and formidable to humans.
While enjoying a feast, the creeper suddenly heard footsteps. The footsteps were soft, but not enough to reach its ears, when the sound of the passage ahead made the creeper drop the corpse, and then quickly climbed up the wall, swam down the pipe to the top of the passage, and then carefully poked his head out. Its type of living corpse is very cautious, and creepers will not easily reveal their hiding without the certainty of killing. Therefore, when it appears, it can basically declare the death of the prey.
However, what the creeper could not see was not some human who had carelessly broken into the lair of the living corpse, but another creeper. Its kind was lying on its stomach on the ground, which made the creeper a little confused. Their limbs are covered with pads that keep them silent as they crawl, and they shouldn't make that obvious footstep sound. If the voices weren't of the same kind, then who would be.
Then a voice sounded behind its head: "Here I am, stupid!"
Before the creeper could turn back, he felt a chill in the back of his head, and then lost all consciousness. An exaggerated, one-handed sword pierced its head, and when the sword was drawn, the creeper lost any strength and fell to the ground. A figure fell, it was the silver-haired Moni, who carried the longsword Death Assault on her shoulders and reported to Brown through the pocket walkie-talkie that came with the Night Rider suit, "It's okay, all the creepers have been cleared, you can come in." Then I'll move on to the theater. β
"Please be careful. β
βhaodeγ β
In the neighborhood of the theater, the Dawning convoy had been waiting for a long time, and after getting Mony's information, Brown stood up in the SUV and yelled, "Work boys, the creepers have all been cleared, it's time to clean up the filth!"
So all the soldiers went into action, and after a quick check of their equipment, they divided into several squads and surrounded the theater from different directions according to the previous arrangement, to make sure that not a single living corpse was spared. Of course, their main targets are the high-ranking living corpses and the Living Corpse King.
Eva jumped out of the car as well, looking at the back of the convoy. There were two armored vehicles there, and at the moment the tail compartment armor plate of the vehicle was rising, revealing the dimly lit compartment. The depths of the carriage lit up with a cold light, and followed the biological weapons down from the carriage. The bird's head, the human body, the purple scales, the deer's legs, and the image are the same, but he is a first-level weapon blade hunter that has been mass-produced, and is known for his mobility and stealth.
The Blade Hunter moves silently and at a uniform speed, not like a creature and more like a machine. When they appeared, they lined up and stared at Eva with the cold one-eye on their heads, waiting for her commander's orders.
At this moment, the ground shook slightly, but it was another biological weapon that stepped down from another armored vehicle.
The Giant Shield Guards were like tower-like men, their muscles twisted together like steel bars. On his right hand is a huge shield of scales and armor of a human height, which seems to be used more than just for defense. The Giant Shield Guards walked heavily, and as soon as they left their armored vehicles, they approached the Blade Hunter.
These two primary-level weapons stood together, forming a very huge oppressive force, and even veterans who had been in a hundred battles would feel a little nervous when they passed by them. What makes them terrifying is that they are as cold as machines, and these things are completely weapons made for killing.
In the Bio Weapons Lab in Dawning City, there was a third weapon, the Crypt Assassin, but the bio-mine-like weapon wasn't suitable for the operation, so Eva didn't deploy them. At this moment, Eva had sixteen blade hunters and eight giant shield guards in front of her, and if they worked together, they would be superior to Brown's army of five hundred.
Eva is connected to the will of the biological weapons through the command terminal, and she can give orders to these biological weapons through her own will without even having to speak. Eva pointed at her hand, and the single eye on the heads of the blade hunters flickered, which was a signal for them to receive orders, and although they were given by Eva, they had great autonomy over how they were executed.
Whether it's a blade hunter or the other two biological weapons, they all have a lot of intelligence and can form a plan of action on their own. All Eva had to do was give a final order.
After the glint in their eyes stopped flickering, the figures of the blade hunters flickered and had already flashed out. It then quickly disappears in place through walls, sewers, or directly into nearby buildings. As for the remaining giant shield guards, they marched forward with shields. The eight guards pushed out like a shield wall, but the momentum alone made people shudder.
Brown immediately made a gesture, and the soldiers dodged on either side, making way for the guards to walk through. They are the striker, the meat shield, the bait that attracts enemy fire. Although the biological weapon has two creatures, they do not have the fear of creatures, and they will not betray the commander. If Eva gives the order to kill herself, they will definitely execute the order in the fastest way possible.
As a result, biological weapons are not even more likely to complain, even if they play the role of victims in many strategies.
For an organization with a mature biochemical jishu, a biological weapon is just a consumable. Of course, they are definitely the most expensive column.
From above, a human wall of shield guards has driven into the theater square. If it is normal, then the creeper is aware of it early and will warn his companions even if he does not take the initiative to attack. For now, the creeper has been cleaned up by Moni, while the other living corpses are dormant, and no one will notice the arrival of some uninvited guests in the theater square.
Behind the Giant Shield Guard was the army of Dawning City, and the soldiers looked at the human wall in front of them with complicated expressions. They rarely have the opportunity to operate with the Burning Legion, so they are not yet accustomed to Eva's use of biological weapons as expendables that can be sacrificed at any time. However, they knew very well that Eva was doing this to protect them as much as possible, so the soldiers followed suit in conflicted moods and gradually approached the Haraka Theater.
Brown gestured to stop, and Eva immediately issued an order in her mind, and the Giant Shield Guards immediately stopped in unison. Brown took the telescope and looked towards the entrance, and in the infrared mode of the telescope, the dim environment of the theater was not a problem at all. At the entrance, Brown saw a tall figure, a giant-like living corpse topless, and the lower body was haphazardly wrapped in a tarpaulin into an apron, which was covered with dark red blood, which was intimidating. The giant corpse was carrying an excessively large boning knife, covered in rust and blood, and even from this distance, Brown seemed to smell the thick smell of blood emanating from the knife.
There is no doubt that it was a butcher. It stood still, its face out of sight as its head was shrouded in a homemade rough shield. One thing is for sure, this big guy should be sleeping. But it was in the way of the door, even if the butcher was intellectually low, had brute strength and was slow to react, but if the team pressed down like this, it would be enough for it to judge the situation in front of him.
"Sniper!" Brown snorted.
In the ranks, a capable young man jumped out, looked in the direction of the gate with the sight on his sniper rifle, and then shook his head: "No, the butcher's head is protected by an iron cover, and it is difficult for a bullet to kill with one hit." β
Brown looked at Eva, who nodded and said softly, "Hunters, it's work." β
At the entrance, the butcher was just as Brown expected to be a doorman. It's just that it's daytime, and the function of the living corpses is minimized, and all the living corpses are dormant except for the creeper species. The doorman was no exception, and at this moment, two figures crawled down from the wall next to the door, but they were bladed hunters. They stopped at the top of the butcher's head and looked at each other.
Eyes flickered, and after a brief exchange, a hunter thrust into the arm of the wall next to him, picking out a piece of gravel with the triangular blade on his wrist and smashing it into the butcher's hood. Suddenly, the butcher in the hood opened his eyes, and he instinctively looked up. In a matter of moments, another hunter swooped down on its back, slicing the butcher's neck and vocal cords with a swipe of the blade.
The butcher is a monster known for his brute strength, and when he is attacked, he immediately turns back and stabs him. The Blade Hunter immediately retreated, and also cut off an arm of the excessively large bone chopping knife. But at the same time, the hunter on the wall jumped down and stabbed at the butcher's thick back, but it was their exclusive skill that killed him quickly. After hundreds of stabs in just a few seconds, the tissue from the butcher's back to his chest was almost hollowed out, and the heart in his chest cavity was naturally cut into flesh.
At this moment, the hunter who had been cut off from his arm pounced again, and with a sharp blade in his hand, the butcher's head flew up along with the hood. The two hunters grabbed the butcher's head and body at the same time, and then gently lowered them to the ground before making a safe gesture to the army outside.
The whole process was carried out quietly, and the biological weapon did not roar, and even if it was killed, it would be quiet. As for the butcher, he cut his vocal cords at the first time, and even if he wanted to make a warning, he couldn't do it. When the butcher was ambushed, only a minute passed. Brown nodded at Eva and continued to advance with the Giant Shield Guard, followed by the Dawning Army behind them.
As Brown led the way, Monie also entered the theater through a drain. Looking around, it should be in a bathroom somewhere, the nearby walls are covered in thick dust, and I don't know how long it has been vacant. The windows of the restrooms are tightly closed, and the glass is also dusty, blocking the light, so the visibility in the washroom is understandably low.
Monie didn't have zero that glimmer vision, so she had to activate the liquid helmet of the Night Rider Tactical Suit and use the infrared vision inside. When Shijie was painted with a dark red color, Moni continued to act. Coming out of the restroom is a passageway, which seems to be a backstage venue for the performers, and there are functional areas such as locker rooms and rest rooms on this passage.
At the end of the passage, the direction connecting to the theater hall is closed by a wall of collapsed rubble, and Moni has to find another way. Fortunately, she found a floor plan of the theater hanging on the wall nearby, and it was not difficult to see from it that there was a passage on the other side of the dressing room that led directly to the back of the stage in the theater hall, so Moni walked back to find the dressing room she had just passed.
However, as soon as the door was pushed, Moni saw a large number of people in the door, and when she looked closely, it was a room full of living corpses in the locker room. They stand still like sculptures, only swaying from time to time, seemingly dormant. As if hearing the door open, the living corpse writhed uneasily, but made no further move. These living corpses are male and female, human and a small number of aliens. Seeing this, Moni said in her heart: Sure enough, after the war between humans and aliens, the living corpses were transformed into the same kind in vain.
There was an unusual oppressive force above the locker room, and when Moni looked up, she saw a high-class living corpse known as a vampire. The vampire hung upside down from the ceiling like a giant bat, and the vampire remained motionless with its wings folded because the Night Rider Suit had cut off all scent information from Mony's body.
Moni said a good word in her heart, and carefully examined the space in the room. Despite being crowded with living corpses, they are not without gaps, at least there is a large space to move around above their heads. So after Moni carefully put away the long sword Death Assault, she moved her body slightly, and then landed on the ground and walked silently towards the corpses.
She crouched down and passed between the two living corpses. On the left is a living male corpse, in his thirties, wearing a golden tomahawk uniform, with a missing corner of his head on the left side, apparently affected by some kind of physical shock. The living corpse on the right is a woman, with her low-hanging hair blocking her face, wearing tattered office clothes, a hole in her stomach, and a piece of intestine hanging outside.
The living corpses in this look different, some have missing arms and legs, some have blooming heads, and some have holes in their stomachs, all of them are the same. The only thing that is the same is that their images are extremely hideous. Just passing by them, you can't do it with the boldness, you have to have excellent psychological quality. In the past two years, Moni has been dealing with death almost every day on the black earth, and she has seen a lot of corpses, and she has long passed the stage of spitting up when she sees a hideous corpse.
She walked through the gaps of the living corpses, the girl's body soft and boneless, and sometimes her body twisted into a blood-spurting gesture to pass through the gap. If these living corpses are eliminated at this time, then there is no doubt that Moni is now showing the ultimate movements that the human body can achieve, which is simply a beautiful dance, but unfortunately there is no audience at the moment, so Moni can only dance alone in the dark.
By the time the dance was over, she was already standing in front of the exit gate, and the whole time, she didn't even touch the corner of a living corpse's clothes!
