exile star.
The night is coming to an end, and the dawn has not yet fully arrived. The sky is like thick ink dizzy with water, fading away bit by bit. The entire planet is shrouded in a faint darkness.
The surroundings were quiet, and even the faint sound of breathing was suppressed extremely lightly. There was a slight smell of blood wafting out in the night wind, followed by a violent roar of a beast.
The roar of the beast was mixed with the sound of fierce fighting.
For a moment, I don't know how many people's attention was attracted to that direction. In the originally extremely quiet jungle, figures leaped out like cheetahs.
— This is from hunting and being hunted in the dark.
Due to the influence of various factors such as the rotation of the planet and the environment of the surrounding star field, this planet hanging on the edge of the empire has always had short days and long nights. If we make an exact comparison with the Imperial Star, the daily night and day are almost half divided. The night is far longer than most people? cognition.
And even in the daytime, the planet is still in haze and darkness most of the time, and when the sky is rarely clear, it is closer to cloudy.
But such a day is actually expected by the exiles on the exile star from the bottom of their hearts. It is as precious as the driftwood in the hand of a drowning person. As long as you hold it tightly, it means you have grasped the hope of survival.
Since thirty years ago, this planet has become synonymous with hell in the minds of all exiles. Everyone who comes here must first know the most fundamental rule of Exile Star—
Half order, half chaos. Night and day are the dividing line between heaven and hell.
The Exiled Star during the day is the strongest prison in the empire, no one can violate the laws made by the empire, and there must be no fight among the prisoners.
The person who first provoked the incident? From the next day, he will disappear forever in front of everyone. No one knows where he was taken? Whether he is dead or alive;
And the exiled star at night is the revived hell, a chaotic and disorderly hunting ground, where all human relations, morality, laws, and rules do not exist.
Anytime, anywhere, there will be all kinds of strange things running out to wreak havoc, it may be some kind of ferocious beast, it may be a freak with crazy mind and body mutation? It may have the body of a rabbit and the wings of a goshawk... In short, when night falls, the originally well-ordered exile star seems to have fallen from the human world into hell, and various creatures that do not belong to the human world appear, and without exception, they are extremely bloodthirsty and cruel , cruel.
They will tear anyone they meet into pieces, and they will not rule out the end of eating them directly.
In the long night, the entire exile star is a hunting ground, not only those? Mutated creatures? Can kill wantonly, prisoners? Can also kill each other unscrupulously, and resolve all hatred and disputes in this way.
Even people without hatred must fight for survival in the chaotic night.
Because the exile star during the day will not provide the prisoners with any "food", and even the S-level newcomers cannot reach the level of "survival without eating or drinking".
The exile star will only release nutrient solution twice at 1/3 and 2/3 of the time after night falls every day. These nutrient solutions will appear anywhere on the surface through the underground mechanism elevator. In the eyes of the prisoner who is ignorant of its secrets, it appears to be irregular.
If the prisoners? didn't want to starve to death, they would have to forage for food during the perilous nights, or grab food from other people? This would undoubtedly lead to conflict.
As for eating the flesh and blood of those "mutated creatures", no one would be willing to try unless they were in a desperate situation. Because people who have tried this kind of thing? 90%? 90% have died miserably.
This is Exile Star.
Every prisoner who was exiled here thought that the so-called exile was just like going from a prosperous metropolis to a backward mountain village before coming here, and even thanked that the empire had abolished the death penalty long ago.
But when they "come" here and experience for themselves the cruel and cruel living rules that are infinitely close to nature, they might prefer that the death penalty has not been abolished, rather than endure such torture.
——Every night is a race against the god of death. You have to risk everything for your own survival, fight with mutant creatures, cannibalize your own kind, and beware of your companions because of a dose of nutrient solution I just played tricks behind my back, thinking that I was about to collapse and finally survived the day, so I lost the courage to kill myself, and could only usher in another long night like this...
In this constant rotation of day and night, some people survived successfully, while others disappeared forever in the night.
They? I don’t know why the empire? Would allow such a planet whose surface has been stained red with blood so many times to exist, allow such brutal and cruel “hunting”, let alone the people who are manipulating the rules of the game behind the scenes? Who is trying his best to survive every day? When the day comes, he can breathe a sigh of relief and find a place to rest...
Unknowingly, this group of new human beings who claim to be higher life forms have become beasts fighting for the most basic survival needs.
Most of them have gradually become dull, forgetting a lot of knowledge they have learned, giving up those hobbies that they thought were elegant, and becoming numb and tame.
But what they don't know is that from the beginning to the end, they are just trapped beasts fighting in a cage, thinking that they can survive only by surviving the dark night once, but they are actually just people outside the cage? The most powerful and perfect beast, choose the winning Gu King.
Therefore, once someone successfully survived a certain period and survived on the exile star for more than a certain period of time, he would disappear without a sound in the next night, and finally became another experimental product of the underground research institute.
Among these exiles, there are always wise ones. Some "people" may have discovered something, realized that something was wrong, and the longer they survived, the more they felt "uneasy", and they began to try to find a way out for themselves.
Occasionally, a lucky person discovers the secrets hidden under the surface of this planet and enters the huge dungeon, but fails to break through the devil's lair like a warrior, and instead becomes? Active? Fertilizer delivered to the door.
…
Among the underground research institutes piled up with the flesh and blood of countless exiles, in the most central laboratory, a picture above the surface is displayed on a pure white wall.
A giant "spider" as big as a small building preys in the dark, its sharp limbs cut open the chest and abdomen of its prey; two figures on the stone pile entangled and wrestled together, and they rolled on the ground , using hands, feet, and teeth to bite, with an unopened dose of nutrient solution next to it; the person who is quietly lurking in the grass and does not move? Stands up when others pass by. , Like a lion attacking a flock of frail sheep... Scenes of pictures flashed across the wall, and everything that happened on the surface of the exile star seemed to be captured by the owner of this laboratory
His voice sounded slowly, as if interested: "A923, D516, E722... these? Mark them down first, and continue to observe and record them for the next half month. They have the potential to become experimental products."
The intelligent mastermind controlling the entire research institute issued a rigid mechanical voice: [The order from the person with the first authority has been received, and it is in progress, and a new batch of experimental product candidates has been marked.]
After finishing all this, the owner of the laboratory turned around and left the laboratory, walking all the way through the long corridor made of silver metal, when researchers in white coats along the way saw him Almost all of them stopped at the same time, watching him pass by, and the moment they passed each other, their bodies seemed to be stiff.
This picture is just like a small animal in the jungle? An animal met a king of beasts passing by leisurely. One can imagine how terrifying this person is in the minds of these researchers.
- "Mephisto" deserves its name.
In fact, anyone who understands the hunting game he invented, has seen those mutated creatures that flow out of his hands, and seen those experimental products that he has turned into human? This group of researchers who violated many bottom lines felt a chill in their hearts.
If we say they? Or just violated the bottom line, then this person? Has no bottom line at all. There is no difference between human beings and beasts in his eyes, and secular morality, ethics, and laws are even more meaningless to him, not worth mentioning. When he tramples on them, it is as common as eating and drinking.
While being watched by the researchers along the way, Mephisto walked through passages and doors, and finally came to another laboratory.
The silver metal door opened automatically, and the scene in the laboratory was naturally seen.
In the wide-open laboratory, transparent pillars are arranged neatly. The pillars are filled with a faint blue transparent liquid. Nude figures are soaked in this faint blue liquid. It looked like a corpse soaked in formalin, but their hearts were still heaving slightly, obviously they were still alive.
If you look carefully, you will find that the limbs of these "humans" are different from those of ordinary people. Some of their fingers are abnormally sharp, like the claws of wild beasts; Strong strength; some shoulders have protruding bones, and they look like they are about to grow a pair of wings... All kinds of alienated features are displayed on their bodies, and under the light of the laboratory, they appear magical And weird colors.
If the prisoners on the surface can see this scene, they may be surprised to find that many of them are "acquaintances" of them, and they have all survived countless days and nights. strong. And the features on them are very similar to the many mutant creatures that the prisoners have seen before. In fact, those mutant creatures are all failed experiments of the research institute, and they just happened to be placed on the surface of the earth for waste? use.
Mephisto observed in the laboratory for a while, and was about to make a move when suddenly, an extremely painful scream came from somewhere outside.
This got him interested.
When he walked out of the laboratory, a researcher in a white coat hurried over and said in a panic, "Sorry, Mr. Mephisto, it is the new experimental subject who is disobedient and disturbed you." …”
This person? The panicked eyes reflected? A pair of eyes shining with strange luster, the man right in front of him? Suddenly raised a finger lightly: "Shh~"
"... Are you noisy? I enjoy the music."
The man's voice was soft and deep, like a sympathizer whispering in his ear, with a strange and intoxicating charm.
"How sweet is the last despairing movement of life."
