Death is the Beginning

Chapter 301: encounter

Views:

The battle of the elite brigade has come to an end.

Eliminated hundreds of ghosts, two mutated ghosts, similarly, got hundreds of ordinary soul stones, two black as ink, as if they were constantly absorbing the surrounding light, even when they were held closer, it seemed that they could hear the miserable Horrific wailing, such two mutated soul stones.

But at the same time, the elite brigade also suffered heavy casualties. The captain was almost seriously injured and fell to the ground. Below the captain, three people died for the squadron leader, and seven people died for the small leader... You know, this is not the kind of shouting from the heavenly party on the ground. In the situation with me, generally speaking, non-commissioned officers are in charge of commanding, and when the captain dies, almost all members of that team are dead. More than 30 people were slightly injured or seriously injured. It can almost be said that the entire elite brigade has lost its combat effectiveness.

The rest of the team members had a trace of sadness on their faces, but more of a kind of daze and numbness. They silently collected the soul stones in the field, and at the same time collected the wreckage of their own team members. A wordless sadness shrouded with everyone.

The captain sat down on the ground weakly, his soul weapon had already been absorbed into his body, at this moment he was picking up a cigar with trembling hands, slowly stuffed it into his mouth, then took out the lighter and lit it silently, deeply He took a deep breath, but at the same time he coughed violently, and blood froth spewed out of his mouth.

"Captain..." The young man named William walked up to the captain. He also looked very embarrassed, and there was a big gash on his left arm, but he seemed to be in good spirits. After the captain was around, he asked directly: "What should we do next? Should we continue to explore?"

"Look forward." The captain patted the five stripes on his shoulder, took a puff of a rich cigar, and then cursed: "Do we still have the ability to continue to move forward? Mo It’s a mutated ghost. Dozens more ordinary ghosts are enough for us to drink a pot. Go back and take these two mutated soul stones back. If you’re lucky, you might be able to make another mutated soul weapon Come."

The blond young man breathed a sigh of relief, and he said jokingly: "The captain has finally regained his mind, I am afraid that you will rush forward at every turn, and you will not die every time, but I still want to live for a few more years .”

The captain laughed a few times, coughed violently, and cursed after a long time: "Get out, let everyone tidy up the battlefield and leave. There will be no ghosts coming here in a short time, but the time should not exceed half an hour... Sigh, you must have a good meal after you go back." While speaking, the captain's eyes gradually blurred, and before he knew it, he had already fainted.

The blond-haired young man helped the captain who had fainted, and he looked at the dead bodies all over the battlefield, and he sighed silently after a long time.

"Hey, Captain Arnold, so many comrades in arms have died, you may be the saddest of us..."

The chief captain, that is, when Anuo woke up, his whole body was already soaked in the nutrient solution, and many small tubes were attached to his body. As he woke up, outside the nutrient tank he soaked in, a group of The green light turned on, and not long after, several researchers ran over, one of them began to record the information on the nutrition tank, while the rest began to unhook Arnold from the pipeline in a busy and unhurried manner.

"How long have I been in a coma?" Arnold stood up from the nutrition tank, twisting his shoulders and asked.

"Captain Arnold, you have been in a coma for seventeen hours, using 3k energy, 2 units of nutrient solution, a total of 19 points, please confirm." A researcher next to him handed over a piece of paper and a pen at the same time .

A Nuo looked at the paper, signed his name after a while, and scolded while signing: "2 units of nutrient solution? How could I use so much? 1 unit of nutrient solution is worth 5 points, what a waste Already wasted..."

The staff member next to him took the signed paper from Arnold, and then said with a smile: "It's only worth 19 points, which is very little. Captain Arnold used a military nutrient solution, but it's only a civilian nutrient solution." The value of points is equivalent to more than half of the discount, which is already very cheap. Besides, this time Captain Arnold's team got two mutated soul stones, one of which is worth 10,000 points, and can be graded according to energy It might be worth 20,000 to 30,000 points, which is quite a lot... "

Arnold shook his head, walked out, and said in a low voice while walking: "No, too few... For the comrades who died, these points are too little.".

For the more than 200,000 humans on the moon, there is no such thing as money anymore, because even the Golden Mountain cannot buy a grain of wheat, and here, gold is not even worth as much as a piece of iron.

There are many kinds of exchange items here, such as food, cloth, and various chemical raw materials or weapons, but in general, energy is the most widely used.

This is the remains of the Three-Eyed Clan. As long as there is enough energy, the most suitable growth environment for plants can be simulated, and the growth time can be shortened by ten times to grow crops. It can also easily decompose rocks obtained from the surface of the moon to obtain various Materials, metals, compounds, etc., and energy can also be used to cycle oxygen, water, and even directly produce oxygen and water through the elements hydrogen and oxygen in those rocks, and all of these are for living on the moon without atmosphere and water source For the people above, it is the most important thing.

Therefore, after the establishment of the new government, in a small society composed of more than 200,000 people, in the small world, energy is used as the basic equivalent, and all of them are converted into points. You can work for the society to get a monthly salary. Value, you can also join the army to fight ghosts, and get soul stones to exchange for points. In a word, on the moon, points represent everything.

In terms of the purchasing power of points in the small lunar society, the salary of an ordinary clerk is about 15 to 20 cents a month. A luxurious French meal for five people is accompanied by a hundred-year-old red wine fermented and stored with the latest technology. The wine is only worth about five to ten points. It can be said that Arnold's score is an unimaginable huge sum of money, but after distributing the money to all the relatives of the comrades-in-arms who died in battle, it is not much.

After A Nuo walked out of the treatment garage, he saw the densely packed people moving forward slowly outside the garage, as well as the surrounding army maintaining order and protecting ghosts. His heart was extremely heavy, and he sighed again.

As the top combat force in the soul armed army, Arnold naturally knows many things that ordinary civilians don't know, including the behind-the-scenes situation of this hasty big migration, and he also knows every bit of it.

Outside the moon, two non-human souls, or ghosts, have broken through the outer space defenses of the moon and broke in. These two souls or ghosts are so powerful that it is unimaginable. Initially, it is estimated that they are the existence of the rank of the devil. , that is a higher level of existence than the mutated ghost. In fact, in terms of the combat power of the soul weapon, the mutated soul weapon like Arnold is at most equivalent to the soul of the real demon rank. Perhaps its defense and attack The strength is stronger than that of ordinary true devils, but they don't have the unique aura field of true devil souls, so when they really fight, it may be just half a catty.

But the level of the demon king is different. Even the weakest and weakest demon king can easily kill more than a dozen true demon-level souls. Among the more than 200,000 human survivors on the moon, there are only four. Armed with mutated souls, the two sides are not at the same level of combat effectiveness, the difference is too great.

That's why the government had to carry out a big retreat, a big relocation, in order to go deep into the interior of the moon as soon as possible, in order to avoid these two alien souls or ghosts.

However, Arnold knew deeply that the deeper he went into the interior of the moon, the less vitality these 200,000 people would have. God knows what kind of horror exists in the interior of the moon. It’s not that he intends to hide anything, but that he has no evidence to prove what’s inside the moon. The feeling of facing hell and the abyss became clearer. His intuition told him... There is a terrifying existence inside the moon that can destroy the entire moon

"Well, I just hope that the government will not be too hotheaded, and go into a deeper danger in order to avoid danger..." Anuo muttered to himself, at this moment, he suddenly saw a dozen soldiers from his team Running to the front of the team, his heart tightened, and he quickly pushed through the crowd and chased after him.

Not long after, Arnold grabbed one of them and asked directly: "What happened? Aren't you guys in cultivation?"

The man was startled at first, and then he shouted in surprise and joy: "Captain? Great, you're awake now? It would be great if you were here. There was a riot at the experimental vehicle, and we don't know the specifics. , but the General Commander directly issued an order to us for help, and all the troops under training set off."

When A Nuo heard this, his heart was shocked. He had basically guessed what happened... The riot in the experimental vehicle, if he guessed correctly, must have been armed with mutated souls and gone berserk.

Yes, mutant souls run amok with arms

The reason why the human beings on the moon can continue is that the greatest contribution is that the soul armament has been put into actual combat.

As early as the period of the human world government, there were no ghosts, a large number of ghosts, or alien races. At that time, when the earth was still the homeland of human beings, the world government had already conducted a lot of experiments on soul weapons, but regarding soul weapons The level of science and technology is hundreds of thousands of years higher than that of human beings today, even with a large amount of information and detailed data on soul armaments, human governments can only start research and experiments from the most basic, and a large number of subjects Controlling ghosts, or souls, these are evidence of soul arming experiments.

In fact, even the manufacturing technology of the Betrayer is just a small branch of soul arm technology.

Through a lot of experiments and research on soul arm technology, the world government has created a large number of controlled ghosts, a large number of traitors lurking around important people, and similarly, it has also created a batch of real soul arms. It is the battle armor covered by Arnold and his team members when they fight against the ghosts, a new concept armed with the combination of obsession and matter, a half-material and half-spiritual thing that emerges in wartime and disappears in normal times , This is the real soul armed.

It’s just that the scientific and technological level of the world government is limited after all, and the research time is too short. The soul armaments produced are basically sent to the moon. This is the Garden of Eden prepared for themselves by the top dignitaries of the world government...

As a result, all the escape routes were completely smashed by Gong Yeyu's shocking knife. Before the world government had time to go to the moon and continue to dominate, it was completely terminated on the earth, and the research on the transformation of soul weapons It came to a standstill, and the research on soul armaments continued only after the more than 200,000 human survivors on the moon calmed down from the violence and a new generation of government was established.

And because ghosts and mutated ghosts are rampant on the moon, human beings need to fight with their lives if they want to seize a little bit of production resources. This is completely different from the purpose of the world government to create soul weapons. One is for the continuation of life, and the other is purely for suppression. The high-end weapons of the army below have different purposes, so the cost is completely different. It can be said that on the moon, the research of soul armament is a national policy, and it is a national policy of air, water, and food.

Because of this, the human remnant government on the moon, after sparing no effort in researching the soul arm technology, finally took the soul stone obtained after killing the ghost and fused it with it, and the result was gratifying. The product of thoughts, the soul stone produced after the death of the ghost contains a lot of will and obsession. Of course, there are also a lot of sin and malice in it, but fortunately, the soul arm is not an extension of the human body or spirit, but It is a plug-in battle armor, which has a basic purification function. As long as the soul stones are not too many at one time, then the soul armament will be strengthened, and the accumulated sins and malice will not be harmful to the user. It has too much influence, and as time goes by, this influence will weaken and disappear. This is the origin of the second generation and now the third generation of soul weapons.

As for the higher-level mutated soul armament, it absorbs the mutated soul stone produced by the mutated ghost. It is a substance that contains more pure obsession and will, and more sinister and evil thoughts. It is integrated into the soul armament. In the end, if the soul armament itself is not strong enough, it will collapse, and even if it is perfectly integrated into the soul armament, the soul armament cannot be used in a short period of time, because the sins and evil thoughts contained in it are too much. It's terrifying, it will take several months to slowly purify and precipitate, and only then can the mutated soul armament be formed.

Now Arnold roughly knows what's going on. It must be that the two mutated soul stones obtained by his team have been integrated into other soul weapons, and they have not been purified and precipitated by time at all. The personnel are equipped with it, so...the operators must be polluted by this sin and evil thoughts, and their minds have become malicious. What's even more terrifying is that, in case those mad scientists want to deal with the predicament in front of them, they will Two mutated soul stones have been integrated into a high-level soul weapon, such as the fourth-generation soul weapon that has been secretly circulated recently... If so, the horror of the accumulated sins and evil thoughts may be enough to directly turn the manipulator into a soul weapon. Ghosts... .

When A Nuo thought of this, he became more and more anxious and flustered. Only those who have really fought ghosts, especially ghosts of the real devil rank, can deeply know what kind of terrifying existence it is. A ghost at the level of a true demon burst out of the crowd, and God knows how many people would die, a thousand people, or ten thousand people...or a hundred thousand people

"**Ah, those bastards are such a precious mutated soul stone, something that comrades traded their lives for, they actually ruined it so much, and they also created such a **** trouble, what a bastard, I want to peel their skins "

Anuo shouted loudly, while activating his mutated soul armament, an armor like an exoskeleton wrapped his whole body, and his speed became faster and faster, not long after, he saw the distant A huge trailer at the end of the outer passage, it is not right to say that it is a vehicle, it is a kind of suspended vehicle, and it is used as a mobile laboratory by the government. At this moment, there is a monster nearly ten meters tall that is wantonly destroying it. And Arnold immediately saw the corpses on the side of the road and the troops on guard outside...

Together with the scientists who he said before to be skinned, he also saw at least seven or eight people... already dead, the death was very miserable, and even a few corpses were broken into pieces, except for the clothes to prove their identities, yes It's not clear whether it's male or female.

Arnold sighed, his heart was filled with a kind of sadness, these scientists are the most proficient in the characteristics of the soul armament, they naturally know the danger of integrating the two mutated soul stones into the soul armament for the first time, but they still do it It's not for themselves, but for the more than 200,000 compatriots on the moon. They have given up the protection of their own lives and decided to conduct such an experiment... just to give human beings an extra chance to survive power

"...Even so, you're still bastards..."

A Nuo looked at the seven or eight shattered corpses of researchers, muttered something, and after paying a military salute, he rushed towards the huge monster.

"Go all the way, bastards..."

Arnold's speed was very fast, and he had already rushed several thousand meters in a few lifts, rushing to the front of the huge monster, and surrounding this huge monster were hundreds of army soldiers armed with various souls, and hundreds more There are more ordinary army soldiers with super electromagnetic weapons a few meters away. The whole scene is full of fire, explosions and bullets everywhere, but... Arnold watched very carefully. This huge monster was not fatally injured. , it may not even have received ordinary injuries, and the damage caused by those soul armed attacks and bullet attacks is almost recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, there are exceptions. There are also two special soul warriors, one green and one white, who restrain and attack this huge monster at close range. If it were not for the close-range attack of the two of them, this huge monster might attack the surrounding crowd at any time. deadly attack

"Barton Lehmut, are you holding on to Oss? That guy has the strongest defense, why isn't he here?"

A Nuo raised his hands fiercely, and stretched out two huge bone blades from between his arms. He rushed towards the huge monster and roared loudly.

Both of the special soul fighters paused for a moment, but immediately surrounded the huge monster at a faster speed, and one of them replied loudly: "Arnold, this guy is Oss, no, it should be Devourer!" The large ghost that has captured Oss and many people can no longer be swallowed by it, the strength of this guy is almost reaching the level of the devil... "

"Snapped"

Before the speaking soul-armor could finish his sentence, suddenly the huge monster stretched out a tentacle-like meat whip from its back, and lashed at the soul-armor fiercely. The soul weapon shattered immediately. Although it hadn't completely collapsed, a large amount of flesh and blood spewed out from inside. In just a split second, the soul weapon was sent flying hundreds of meters away, and hit the metal wall hard. But for a while, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"ah"

Arnold just felt the blood rushing to his head. The person who was beaten to death just now was Rehmut. His comrade-in-arms, when he was an ordinary special forces soldier, he was a partner who had been fighting side by side until they came to After the moon, they are still fighting side by side, and they are still fighting for the continuation of mankind, but now... .

"Die to me"

Among the four mutated soul armaments that human beings possess, Oss' mutated soul arm is famous for its defensive power, Rehmut is famous for his keen observation and superhuman senses, and Barton's mutation is famous for producing the fastest speed, as for Arnold...

He has the strongest attack power

"Spiral Double Spike"

A Nuo's body flashed suddenly, and in the next moment, he appeared on the back of this huge monster. At the same time, the two bone blades on his arm rotated at a distance. ruthlessly inserted into the back of this huge monster,

In an instant, there was a sound like metal twisting and tearing, and an extremely thick black air rose up, and the huge monster also let out a terrifying roar, and countless tentacles and whips emerged from it, First, it sent A Nuo flying far away, and then the tentacle whip intercepted A Nuo in mid-air at a faster speed, and then smashed him hard on the ground. Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the surrounding soldiers It seemed that the ground shook, and thanks to the relics of the Three-Eyed Race, the walls and floors were made of some kind of metal, which was unimaginably strong. With such a violent blow, the ground was only slightly dented, but Arnold's Blood was already spewing out from the shell of the soul weapon he was wearing.

"ah"

Everyone around was shocked and roared, and dozens of desperate people rushed forward, trying to snatch Arnold from the tentacles. You must know that although the moon humans have four mutant soul armers, But the strongest among them is undoubtedly Arnold, and he is the first mutated soul armer, which is the result of natural fusion of mutated soul stones, rather than fusion through technological means like the other three. In fact , He is equivalent to a flag of the lunar humans. If it falls, regardless of the strength of the lunar humans, the morale problem alone may cause the army to collapse.

But at the same time as this group of people rushed forward, a purple-black halo burst out from the huge monster. With it as the center, it quickly enveloped within a radius of one kilometer. Hearing the boundless howls and screams, the terrifying aura surged in. The weaker people screamed on the spot, and the whole person fell into a mental breakdown, while the rest of the strong-willed people also turned pale. , shaking violently all over.

This is the momentum field

Not to mention, the huge monster's chest was torn apart violently, revealing a huge and ferocious mouth with teeth like curiums, snapping together, and the tentacles immediately grabbed Arnold, pushing him to the chest. Mouth dragged away.

At this moment, Arnold has come to his senses. The violent attack just now did not hurt him as much as he imagined. Although his whole body seemed to be falling apart, his body was still able to move, and the standard energy contained in the soul armament was not used much. He still has enough strength to fight back, but he didn't jump up immediately, because he already knew the strength of the huge monster in front of him... the top-level strength of a true demon

It is impossible to kill this huge monster with his attack alone, so he can only take a risky gamble. Since he cannot break through its defense and body from the outside, he will attack from the inside, but he is also in his heart. I don't know, I don't know what is inside this huge monster. Is it a stomach like a living thing? Or some ghosts or ghosts concentrated in it...

But he is already helpless, if he continues like this, God knows how many comrades in arms and compatriots will be killed and injured, he must fight with his life

Sure enough, just before he was pulled by the tentacles to the big mouth, and the terrifying giant teeth were about to bite, the soul armament on the surface of his body stretched out countless small bone blades, and these small bone blades were spinning rapidly, As if there were countless small drills on the surface of his body, he broke off the tentacles covering the surface of his body in just an instant, and in the next second he rushed straight to the big mouth of this huge monster, rushing straight into it. inside its body.

Once inside, there are no biological organs as imagined by Arnold, or the evil shape like that hell, but a dark and chaotic, bottomless, Arnold seems to be suspended in a large piece of oil, It was so sticky that it was almost impossible to move.

Before A Nuo could come up with a solution, there was a sudden pulling force from all directions, and A Nuo saw dense human figures appearing around him, some in the shape of skeletons, and some in the shape of half decayed. , and some of them were in strange shapes. These people, ghosts and ghosts surrounded Anuo like this, stretching out their hands and claws to pull him, pulling him to go deeper into the darkness and chaos. . .

"Die, die..."

"to die together"

"Come to hell with us"

All kinds of horrible sounds and emotions rushed towards Anuo, not only pulling his body, but also entangled his soul, as if they were going to fall into hell together with his soul and consciousness.

Arnold naturally knows the horror of such a situation. He has experienced such a situation many times, and each time he narrowly escaped death. This is the vision he saw when the living body was caught by the ghost and sucked the soul, but He is currently wearing soul armor. Unless the standard energy in the soul armament is exhausted, the ghost can only kill him, and it is impossible to absorb his soul.

But Arnold has no time to ponder and delve into anything. At this moment, he can only crazily burst out the standard energy in the soul armament, trying to disperse the ghosts around his body, but he doesn't want these ghosts around his body to be like phantoms. , No matter how much he struggled, he remained motionless. Seeing that most of his body had been dragged into the chaotic darkness, and even his consciousness began to blur, Arnold only felt anger and sadness in his heart.

(Am I already dying? Really... )

(... not reconciled)

(It was hard to get out of the big dye vat of the earth army, it was hard to find the last pure land of mankind on the moon, it was hard to have a home, it was hard...)

(Is it about to end...)

Just when Arnold's consciousness became more and more blurred and he was about to fall asleep completely, suddenly an extremely violent shock rushed straight, easily shattering the countless ghosts around him, and then shattered the ghosts around him in a single shock. The seemingly endless chaotic darkness was also shattered,

Arnold is the weakest thing at the moment. This extremely violent shock not only shattered the chaotic darkness that surrounded him, but also shattered his body and the soul armament outside his body. Seeing this chaotic darkness become a ball of paste.

At this moment, on the battlefield outside, the army soldiers lying on the ground, as well as a large number of people armed with souls, were also lying down, and farther away, the chaotic crowd had already started running around, because... two meters away Gao's giant male and female appeared on the battlefield, and it was the male giant who punched the mutant monster into pieces.

The male giant frowned, and he said strangely: "It's really strange, why is it a ghost? It's not the kind of ghost we encountered before. There is no soul stone in the ghost's body."

The female giant next to the male giant did not answer, but turned her head to look around. After a while, she sighed and said, "Go, go deeper, there must be more ghosts inside... just let these humans live." gone."

The male giant hesitated for a moment, but neither he nor the female giant noticed. When he looked at the surrounding humans, a few traces of black air flashed in the depths of his eyes, which made his eyes a lot more violent, but the violent eyes belonged to the violent , but he thought about the past in his mind about Odin, the patriarch of the giant clan, and immediately suppressed the killing intent in his heart, just nodded and said: "Alright, let them go, anyway, if you kill them, you won't get the soul stone. Don't want to waste time... let's go."

When the words fell, the male giant had already floated up and dived straight into the passage deeper.

The female giant sighed again, and followed closely behind the male giant.

It's just that they didn't realize that the ghosts that had been smashed into paste by them didn't completely dissipate or turn into standard energy, but slowly condensed and were gradually absorbed by a human figure in it...
