Chapter 954: Homeland is hard to find
Zero wasn't too surprised by Mei's boldness. Looking at Lan's heroic appearance, you know that her sister is not one of those people who twist and move. He shrugged and said, "Okay, Mei." Thank you for your kindness, but if it's convenient, I'd like you to help me with my wound first. They're not very comfortable right now. ”
Mei Yingying stood up, opened the medical bag she had brought with her, took out a thread cut from it, and cut Zero's shirt neatly. Then put the disinfectant, needle and thread on the table one by one, and start cleaning the wound with zero. Most of the wounds on Zero's body were torn open by the guard's claws, but with his current physical strength, the guard's claws could only tear through the skin, not flesh and bones.
Although there are many wounds, most of them are skin trauma, and it is not troublesome to deal with. While Rose busily washes and stitches up her wounds, Zero reads the battle damage report from Ansura through the Dark Core.
In last night's battle, the heaviest loss was the Mikina Dragon. These fast-moving ground units were the first to fend off the battlefield and immediately attracted the attention of half of the guards. Later, a group of dragons were killed under the bioenergy beam of Garcia Flying Insects, but these dragons were sacrificed to intercept the guards and concentrate them on the range of the flying insects.
This is also the terrible thing about biological weapons, they are completely obedient to orders, even if they die for the battle, not a single weapon will back down or disobey orders. With this efficient and ruthless strategy, the Underground Legion was able to quickly defeat a large number of defenders, thus changing the balance of war.
Just these lizard dragons killed 17,865 in battle, plus other biological weapons killed in battle, the number of battle losses rose to more than 30,000. Among them, Garcia Flying Insects suffered the lightest losses, with only more than 1,000 of them. And this amount was later transferred to the battlefield by Ansula and went to the Thorn Jungle to kill those Evolution Guardians who were killed.
As for the high-level weapons, they only injured but did not die, and other than that, the three-headed Abyss Lord did not join the battlefield. After judging that the Legion was strong enough to annihilate all the Guardians, Ansula left the Abyss Lord out of the battlefield. It is up to Phoenix to shield the breath of the three-headed lords, otherwise their breath alone may cause unnecessary panic to the aliens.
Now, the battle on the other side of the Thorn Jungle is over. When Ansula's army arrived, less than half of the guards had awakened. After awakening, the outer armor of the guardian turned bright red, and wings like beetles grew from its back, capable of spraying energy beams like Garcia's flying insects. The full version of the Guardian is capable of most strategic needs, and they also have the ability to dominate the air.
They were only a few of them, and they were like a small flame under the suppression of the Ansula army, which had been extinguished in an instant.
At this moment, a large number of the corpses of the guards became food for the brood. The data sent back by Ansula shows that each brood only needs to absorb more than 10,000 guards to advance to the ranks, and after successfully completing the promotion, the mid-level broods can provide zero with a different number of biological weapons every day. The quantity produced depends on the quality of the biological weapon, and in general, the speed of weapon production will be reduced by 35%, and the production quantity will be increased by 30%. As a result, the total amount of biological weapons will increase by about 50% compared to the past. Shorter production time, more production quantities, and an army of biological weapons are enough to flood the entire land.
Currently, the three broods in Zero's hands are busy devouring the corpses of the Guardians. They will eat more than a third of the carcass, and the rest will be consumed by numerous biological weapons. These biological weapons are more or less enhanced by absorbing the genetic fragments of the Guardians, but they are not too obvious.
"Alright. ”
Mei's voice sounded behind him, and Zero came back to his senses, and a loose gray robe had fallen on Zero's body. Mei also carefully brought a belt to her waist, and while she changed into new clothes, Mei washed the blood on her hands.
Zero coughed dryly and said, "I'll go talk to Ba Jin about something." ”
Mei was surprised, "So soon, you should rest for a while." ”
Looking at Mei, Ling Tan said, "Do you think I can rest if I stay here?" Not to mention that now, there are more important things to deal with than rest, you are free." ”
After speaking, he left Xiaolou, looking at his back, there was a little depression on the face of the beauty.
Walking out of the small building, Zero remembered that the streets of Ukara were not ordinarily complicated. The Holy City is built with compact buildings and varied laneways, making it a city designed for street fighting. The last time the Black Owl led them into the city, Zero found that it was easy for strangers to get lost in the twisting, winding streets without a guide.
I was just about to ask for directions on the street, when suddenly a roar sounded in front of me, and a black cloud floated over. Zero took a closer look, and it turned out to be a wolf gale that he had left in the Holy City that day. The big guy stood up at the sight of Zero, and threw his two forelimbs towards Zero's shoulder. Gale is not small, and ordinary people will be thrown to the ground by it like this.
Zero, of course, was not so weak and did not pass the wind, smiled slightly, and let the forelimbs of the gale fall to his shoulders. He stretched out his hand, touched the oily fur of Gale and said, "Good fellow, it seems that you are living a good life, and you have grown meat." ”
The gale spewed out two puffs of hot smoke from his nostrils and hit Zero in the face, then stuck out his tongue to lick Zero's face. Zero patted it on the head and motioned for it to come down, and Gale obediently squatted at Zero's feet.
"Zero!"
A heroic cry sounded, and the wolf king Kaiton strode over. Zero greeted him and hugged him. Cayton also has a crash belt wrapped around his body, and it seems that he was injured in yesterday's battle. But the spirit is very good, and there is still a pipe on his mouth, and the tobacco leaves stuffed in it give off a spicy taste. Zero looked at him strangely and said, "Have you changed your taste?"
"It's Sodo's spicy smoke, and I managed to get some from the door-slamming Wigg. It's a really good thing to smoke, would you like to try it?"
Zero shook his head and smiled: "It's okay to drink, forget about the cigarettes, you can smoke it yourself." ”
"I'd like to have a drink with you, but unfortunately no bar is open right now. Cayton shrugged.
Zero patted him on the arm and said, "This is not the time to drink, friend." Take me to Ba Jin, I have something to discuss with him. ”
"Follow me. Cayton turned his head and acted as a guide to the Holy City.
Zero pats Gale on the head, letting the black wolf follow him. It can be seen that after being in the Holy City for more than half a year, Cayton is already very familiar with this place. Moreover, the alien races passing by them will also take the initiative to greet the wolf king when they see it. Zero Half joked, "You're quite a mess here now." ”
"Because I'm with Ran, who doesn't know me now. Cayton laughed and said, "I heard that Mei took the initiative to find you, that chick is spicy, how can you let her go?"
Zero shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to have fun, man. There's a lot of work to be done, and you think I've come all the way here, because there's a bunch of them on the other side of the coast. We've been listed as the target of a cleanup, Mr. Cayton. ”
Cayton spread his hands and said, "That's why you should be more open to enjoy life, after all, we don't know if there is a tomorrow, right?"
Zero glared at him and said, "Why didn't I find out before, it turns out that you are still a philosopher." ”
"Thanks to the compliment, I just realized the true meaning of life. ”
Zero shook his head and laughed, and Cayton laughed too. After taking Zero through most of the city, Cayton slipped into a hotel. This inn Zero is also familiar with, it is the place where the black owl took them to settle in the city that day, the inn called "Dark Night" was originally a stronghold run by the Shadow Clan, and now that the Shadow Clan has disappeared, this hotel is naturally accepted.
The Dark Night Hotel is a small fortress with high walls and deep courtyards, and it is only fitting that Ba Jin chose this hotel as a base.
There were constant alien warriors coming and going in the hotel, and the tables and chairs in the hall had been emptied. When Cayton took Zero in, the hall was full of people. Ba Jin was in the middle of the crowd, and he gestured to Zero and told Zero to wait for a moment. Cayton simply sat down with Zero at a small bar by the door and waited, and it didn't take long for the aliens to retreat one after another, and then Barjin was able to escape.
Patriarch Amanda was also covered in color, and the bandages on her body were not much less than those of Kaidon. Wearing a loose robe, revealing his bandaged upper body, he smiled bitterly: "Our losses this time are very serious." ”
This time, the alien race of the Black Earth did suffer heavy losses, and as many as 30,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, and the overall strength was reduced by nearly half. Many weak clans were directly removed from the list, and more clansmen withered, and they also faced the fate of being annexed by other clans in the future. The only thing to be thankful for is that this great battle sharpened the physical and mental bodies of all the fighters, allowing them to face more brutal battlefields.
"What's next?" asked Zero.
Ba Jin sighed and said, "What can I do, I must find a home for the elderly, women and children to live in. The rest of the warriors, and we'll follow you to the coastline to see where we can help. As part of this planet, we also have to do our part. Besides, we have no way back, do we?"
"I have a suggestion for habitat. Zero patted the Wolf King and said, "Let Cayton take your people to Dawning City, which is my city." For the time being, Prosius' army has not yet penetrated deep into the heart of the continent, and I have defenders there enough to keep you safe. ”
"It would be great if that was the case. Ba Jin is delighted that if Zero provides them with shelter, then at least they don't have to worry about the environment, safety and food. Without worries, the warriors are able to work harder.
"It's just ......" Ba Jin hesitated slightly, and said, "It's just that this is a long way to go, and there are many people, so I need an escort." Ordinary soldiers are easy to say, but one or two strong men are still needed. ”
Kaidon's expression immediately became quite exciting, and Ba Jin coughed dryly: "I'm not saying that Kaidon you can't do it, but only your words, your strength is still weaker." ”
"Then add me. A hoarse and low voice rang out from outside the door.
A tall figure appeared in the light outside the door, and a young man entered. His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Ba Jin, with long brown hair scattered and a knife-like silhouette showing a resolute quality. Wearing only a fur vest with an open placket, his bare chest has clearly visible muscle textures. The lower body is a pair of exotic loose trousers, which are tied with a bright red ribbon at the hem to avoid affecting the movement.
Stepping barefoot on the ground, the tall man had a deep and abyss-like majesty, this person actually had the strength of the tenth order!
Zero looked at the other party in surprise, he had never seen such a person when he was in the Black Land last time. This man has a certain resemblance to Ba Jin, and there is no doubt that he is from Amanda. There are such masters among the Amandas, why didn't they see him in last night's battle?
The man looked at Zero, and the corners of his mouth pulled up slightly, "What, don't you recognize me?" ”
"Are you ......" Zero looked at him, and suddenly felt that his eyes were familiar, like he had seen them somewhere. The man's eyes are light gray, with vertical lines like lizards in the middle, and very special pupils. When Zero searched for relevant information in his mind, the figure of Amanda Boy, who had followed Mony to Dawning City, flickered before his eyes.
Zero lost his voice and said, "Are you Girutan?"
The pipe in Cayton's mouth fell, but luckily Barkin's eyes were quick to catch it. Taking the pipe from Barkin's hand, Cayton scratched his head and said, "Are you Amandas growing up so fast? Half a year ago he was just a little ghost, and now he ......"
"No, Girutan was actually an adult a year ago. It's just that he has been suppressing his strength, and it wasn't until half a year ago, before Zero arrived at the temple, that he decided to enter the altar for a coming-of-age ceremony. Our Amanda people have remained human teenagers until they reach adulthood, and once the rite of passage is completed, they will be fully grown up like Girutan. Not only appearance, but also strength will also be improved by leaps and bounds. Ba Jin was very happy, hugged his son tightly, and then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Girutan, you have grown more than I expected. Very good, it seems that Amanda is not yet in decline. ”
Zero is also happy for Bajin, with a son like Girutan, Amanda is still a powerful clan in the black earth. He looked at Girutan and asked, "If you had this power in the morning, you should have had a coming-of-age ceremony earlier." In this way, you can save a lot of trouble. ”
Girutan nodded, but said, "I know exactly what strength means. It's just that until then, I hope that Girutan will always be like that in her memory. But then I realized that without power, even such memories could not be protected. So now, I have to protect not only that memory, but also my people, and ...... She. ”
The long silver hair seemed to float in front of him, and Zero seemed to see the slender figure holding the long knife again. The "she" in Girutan's mouth is, of course, Mony. If there was a tenth-order powerhouse like Girutan guarding Moni's side, Zero would also feel relieved.
Girutan walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "I know she likes you, but I'll tell her who's best for her." ”
Zero smiled faintly and said, "On this point, I raise my hands in favor." You can rest assured, Moni is not the kind of affection between men and women, it is more like a girl's worship of her father. So, you have to work harder. ”
Girutan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded.
Now that the plan has been decided, Barkin puts it into action. After an emergency council of elders, Zero's proposal was unanimously approved by all the elders, followed by a general mobilization of all aliens. Two days later, a convoy of five hundred alien warriors, led by Girutan and Kaiton, protected the people from leaving, and when they walked out of Ukhara, they did not know how many aliens made a pilgrimage to the holy city.
Zero can understand their feelings, after all, this is their home. But the Black Lands are no longer safe, after a series of invasions by the Dark Council, Albert, and Prosius' legions of creatures. This home has long been like a big tree in the wind and rain, and it may fall at any time.
Ba Jin walked at the front of the migration procession, looking at the compatriots behind him, he said loudly, "Let's go, but this is only temporary." One day, we will come back, to the eternal holy city of our hearts!"
I don't know who sang the song of the alien race softly, and the low melody was like every fragment of the vicissitudes of time, recording the hardships of each clan in this land, but the tenacious survival. Gradually, more and more people hummed the same melody, and on this day, the lofty and melodious tune resounded in every corner of the earth.
After the migration team left, after reorganization, the remaining alien army of more than 30,000 people also began to set off. Ba Jin, Wei Ge, Pan Sen, Lan and other patriarchs set off with the army. In addition to this, there are also the baggage teams that serve the entire army, and these thousands of logistics personnel form a long dragon with the army, leaving the holy city of Ukara and heading towards the world beyond the black earth.
At the same time, there was also the Zero Creature Legion, and for two days, the brood had been eating away at the corpses of the guards day and night, and now the three broods had undergone the evolutionary stage. Once the evolution is complete, they will advance to the intermediate tier. Ansula left the gigantic Canoresa to transport and defend the brood, while the rest of the creatures set off.
Ansula chose a route that would advance parallel to the alien army, so as not to cause unease among the aliens with too many biological weapons. On this day, on the advance route of the biological legion, the awe-inspiring aura emanating from this legion was felt from a distance, and the mutant beasts in the mountains or forests were far away from the legion's march route early. And when the three Abyss Lords passed by, the mutant beasts hid themselves in the deepest part of the lair, for fear of being discovered and devoured by these terrifying creatures.
However, when the aliens and the legions of creatures left, the mutants began to emerge from their lair, only to find that the land had never been dead and silent.
