Boom!
There was a deafening roar in the atmosphere, as if two huge iron blocks were colliding together at a rapid speed, making a huge collision sound that made people instinctively feel dangerous.
The girl named Tiebi stood behind the tank and watched quietly as this incredible old man with white hair and white hair but a strong physique dismantled all the soul puppets around him into parts all over the floor with one punch.
In the garden area, not all soul puppets go to the front line to stop them as invaders. There are still some independent guardian puppets stationed in some important facilities, such as the warehouse area where they are now.
After a rather long trek, the Siberian team passed through the vast breeding area and arrived at the garden area. This process was familiar to them. They had done similar things many times, but at that time they would still know more about it along the way. When attacked by some combat soul puppets, they will try their best to kill all the surrounding labor puppets.
Labor puppets are what the resistance calls those ordinary Siberians without souls, superpowers or intelligence. Their combat effectiveness is extremely low, but their numbers are extremely large and they are responsible for providing material support to the puppets. Generally speaking, when the rebels break through a soul puppet garden, they will kill all the labor puppets to avoid being re-established by other soul puppets after leaving. Even if they are not breached, the rebels will try to kill them. A large number of labor puppets allowed the plantations to reduce production.
But this time, it was a little different. When the light beam in the hands of the 'Magic Arrow' began to condense, the 'Chariot' as the captain interrupted the release of her ability. After recalling the figure of the young man sitting on the giant super puppet, Magic Arrow obediently stopped its usual cleaning behavior. The group ignored the workers who were still working numbly around them and arrived directly inside the garden area.
There is no need to talk about what happened next. The Siberian resistance team quickly discovered the super-powered child paralyzed in the middle of the garden. After leaving behind the 'Unlocker', 'Pegasus' and 'Invisible', the remaining four A superpower began to inspect all the buildings in the garden area and began to clean up the guard puppets stationed alone.
"Captain, there are still fish that have slipped through the net here!"
Not far away, the sound of magic arrows came, followed immediately by the low hum caused by the beam emission. Soon after, a somewhat apologetic voice sounded again: "Ah, I've solved it, captain, you don't have to come over. "
"The ability of the magic arrow is getting stronger and stronger."
After getting rid of the surrounding guard puppets, the chariot that was about to start stopped in place after hearing these words. He nodded slightly and said with emotion: "She has the highest potential among us. After the quarter, I’m going to be passed by her.”
"Perhaps one day, she can overcome that barrier and become a powerful superpower like the leader."
Later, the old man noticed the iron wall silently behind him, preparing to provide defense. He smiled and touched the girl's head: "Good boy, your defense ability is the most precious. In terms of value alone, only the unlocker in the entire team can Compared to you."
"Um."
The girl responded in a low voice, and then she looked at the boxes in the surrounding warehouse area and said softly: "Do I need to inform the 'leader' that they will come get these weapons and equipment?"
In the warehouse area located behind the medical area, the door was smashed by brute force. The remains of several soul puppets were scattered, and engine oil was spilled on the ground. In the warehouse, boxes of rectangular metal iron boxes were neatly placed. In the shelf, it is clearly marked with a weapon icon.
Knives, guns, swords, axes, hammers, flails, shields... furnace ray generators, frost ray generators, dissociation ray generators, high-energy arc generators... A large number of weapons for the soul puppets are stored here.
"No need. The weapons in the army are enough. Too many will make it difficult to move. We just need to destroy these weapons."
Regarding Tiebei's words, Chariot shook his head. He took the girl and strode deep into the warehouse area. At the same time, he explained: "Of course, if there are any high-value weapons, such as the seventh mine that was breached last time, The 'super weapon' that the leader found when he was in the garden is valuable to take back... This is a great achievement."
The two came to the center of the warehouse area, in a small room that seemed to be an office. After destroying the two guard puppets, Chariot searched the tightly guarded room, but found nothing. It was obvious that a small plantation did not have any reserves of super weapons, and the old man had been mentally prepared for this. He shrugged, and then took out a flashing silver weapon from a cylindrical electronics table at the front of the room. Hexagonal prism of blue light, holding it in his arms.
"Every time the leader asks us to take this 'storage unit' back, but what is the use of this thing?"
The old man complained to himself, but he had long been accustomed to this kind of work. After making sure that he had not missed anything, the chariot brought the iron wall, joined the magic arrows and blasters, and prepared to completely destroy it. The warehouse of this soul puppet.
In the garden, the unlocker, whose hair was half gray, wiped the sweat dripping from her forehead. Through her soul power, she had calmed down the spirits of all the super children in the garden, so that these children who seemed to have been spoiled by play could be calmed down. All the puppet children closed their eyes and fell asleep quietly. Beside him, two superpowers with invisibility and flying abilities were standing guard. If something went wrong, they would activate their abilities and take the unlocker away safely.
However, at this moment, all members of the Siberia Super Team felt a chilling sense of crisis.
"It's soul radar!"
An extremely strong soul signal came from afar and swept through the surrounding area for hundreds of miles. Sensing this, the unlocker stood up in horror. She said tremblingly: "The army of hunters... they are coming!"
"how come?!"
On the side, Pegasus and Invisible both lost their voices. They said in disbelief: "Aren't they already being induced to go north?! The last communication said that there would be at least three months of stability..."
"When did they come back?"
At the same time, heavy footsteps sounded from behind the three of them. The chariot brought Tiebi and others to join them. No one said much, not just because of tacit understanding, but because the current situation was really tense. People are somewhat speechless.
"Go check out the situation."
Chariot, as the captain, was the first to speak. He signaled the Pegasus on the side to use his abilities. The thin superpower had no intention of saving energy at this time. With a faint green light surrounding everyone, the team of seven people quickly moved towards The edge of the plantation flew away.
Soon, they arrived at the gap in the city wall caused by the explosion at five times the speed before. Almost here, everyone in the resistance super team could vaguely see the dust and smoke rising from the horizon in the distance. Underneath, there was a flash of cold metallic light.
It was a smoke screen that covered the sky and seemed to support the heaven and earth, and there were countless puppet armies raising smoke and dust - an entire puppet army was rushing through the wasteland. They stepped on the rocks and soil, crushing everything in their way, and headed straight towards They were heading towards their destination, and at this moment, some puppets separated from the army, and they quickly attacked in the direction of the plantation. Looking at this scene, everyone floating in the air was silent. Their faces and eyes were full of disbelief and panic. After a while, the magic arrow could be heard saying with difficulty: "Oh my god... this amount... "
“There haven’t been so many in the past few years combined…”
"There's still direction."
The leader of the old man gritted his teeth. He had experienced hundreds of battles and decades of escape, but even so, his voice was still a little trembling: "They are heading towards the large hilly area... The headquarters is stationed there now! "
The rest of the people have nothing to say... The soul hunter army is the army used by the soul puppets to exterminate the fugitives like them. Since the last time the resistance army attacked the spiral tower in the center of the world, their vitality has been severely damaged, and countless high-level soldiers have been lost. Since they have become capable people, it has been difficult for them to resist the attacks of the Hunter Army head-on. Nowadays, the resistance forces usually use various means to induce the Hunters to go in the opposite direction, while they seize the opportunity to recuperate.
But now, the induction seems to have failed, and even the people monitoring the direction of the hunter army have lost contact... Moreover, the size of the hunter army dispatched by the soul puppet this time is known, and the search direction is accurate. It seems that the resistance army has really been found. Headquarters!
"No, we have to go back to headquarters quickly!"
Chariot turned his head sharply and looked at the thin young man who was so frightened that he was about to bite his lip. He said in a deep voice: "Pegasus, take the magic arrows, the unlocker and the iron wall to leave. Even if the ability is overloaded, we must speed up and return to the headquarters." , inform the leader!”
"Explosion, invisible, we stay, we can't add burden to Pegasus!"
"… yes!"
A uniform reply came. After all, the Resistance Army is a military organization. Although the chariot does not look majestic, when the old man as the captain really gives the order seriously, no one else dares to refute, but happily accepts it, even if he is ordered to stay. , the same goes for explosions and intangibility, which are almost equivalent to death.
It was natural to make this series of decisions. Chariot watched Pegasus take the three most potential and precious ability users up into the sky and fly rapidly towards the large hilly area. The old man felt relieved and couldn't help but sigh. tone.
The hunter army will not let go of any escaped superpower. They have already separated a large team from the army and come to hunt their small team... This is the only solution.
At least, he can't let an old man like himself delay the survival possibility of other more valuable people... Invisibility and explosion, let them depend on their luck. With the ability of invisibility, they should be able to escape the pursuit of hunters.
Thinking of this, Chariot couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky. The sun was still dim today, but this did not reduce the heat in the air at all... But soon, the old man was stunned because he saw a familiar figure.
The huge metal ring rotated slowly, and a black-haired boy sat on the shoulders of the burly puppet. The kid who was probably a superpower who had awakened on his own looked indifferently at the army of hunters in the distance, with no intention of escaping.
"Hey - let's go!"
Because Pegasus left, the old man who landed on the ground immediately shouted to the sky: "Leave quickly, that is an army of hunters who specialize in hunting awakened superpowers like us!"
"Since you can fly, don't stay, leave quickly! The further away you are, the better!"
But neither the boy nor the puppet paid attention to his intention. They were suspended high in the sky, waiting quietly, seemingly lost in thought and memories.
Across the turbid and hot air, Joshua looked into the distance from high in the sky, watching the puppet army rushing in the distance. He could see that the observation mirror of the puppet body was focused, and the young man's eyes became deep and distant.
The familiar air and familiar environment were like going back in time. He seemed to have returned to the days when he was still on Earth and on the battlefield of World War III a long, long time ago.
How many years ago was that? Joshua asked himself. The time in the full-immersion game is out of sync with the real time, and coupled with the fusion of memories brought about by time travel, he himself cannot be sure how long it has been, but no matter how long it has been, it will be the same, and he will never forget what he saw at that time , everything experienced.
Memories that seemed to be buried deep in the wind and sand emerged, and Joshua recalled them in silence.
It was the darkest period of mankind since modern times. Ruthless wars swept the entire world. No country could escape. Human beings arbitrarily threw their own weapons at other people's homes, destroying cities and villages, and flattening farmland and pastures. , whistling missiles and even nuclear bombs flew past. Most of them were intercepted by the defense system, but some still reached their destinations - then smoke filled the air, mushroom clouds slowly rose, and millions of people died. .
At that time, scorching wind swept across the fields, turbid smoke and dust drifted away with the clouds, and haze enveloped the earth. Sometimes severe cold, sometimes scorching weather occurred alternately on the small planet, and the army was disrupted and the same chaos. Enemies are clashing on the battlefield - the strong electromagnetic chaos caused by the abuse of super weapons makes the command ineffective when it fails, and the melee caused by the overly powerful transportation capacity makes everything become a mess. You can fight with them in Asia in one day Enemy forces from three different countries are fighting, and it is possible to encounter a fleeing team composed of civilians from five countries in Europa.
The air at that time was just like the world of Siberia now, turbid, hot, and full of dirty dust.
A boy grew up in such an environment. He accompanied his parents, who were soldiers, and traveled around with the army. During this period, he saw all the good things: the exiles in the end of the world helped each other friendly, and built buildings in the mountains. In self-sufficient gathering places, patriotic civilians spontaneously provided supplies and wanted to help the army. There were even commendable ones among the enemies. They maintained order and called for a stop, hoping to get the crazy high-level officials to stop this senseless act. attacking each other.
However, he has also seen all the ugly things: in order to compete for supplies, friends who have been with each other for many years turned against each other. Through the chaos of the disorderly era, ordinary bullies and gangsters controlled a large group of civilians, venting their desires on them and raping them as they pleased. , beatings, even killings, cannibalism... In the apocalyptic war without law, goodwill will become extremely precious, but malice will be magnified by the hundreds, especially on the territory of other countries and in the enemy's homeland. Once the ugliness is magnified, it becomes irredeemable.
The massacre of civilians is just that.
The enemy's army marched through, and no one survived in the villages and towns along the way. The boy in the past walked with the army. In the silence of the surrounding soldiers suppressing the fury, the boy saw corpses strewn on the ground, blood sprinkled in every corner, and he saw the soil was watered with blood. Hei saw mutilated limbs and pieces of meat hanging on the ruins of the house. He saw the corpses of men and women with bloody holes made by bullets, and strange-colored organs flowing out from the wounds of the wreckage, giving off a disgusting smell.
Wolf dogs and scavenging birds gnawed at the mutilated corpses. There were no survivors, no living people. Maggots squirmed in the stinking sewage, pus grew in the rotten tissues, and the pregnant women who were about to give birth had their stomachs slashed and formed. The baby fell from it, and its body was crushed, as if someone had stepped on it carelessly.
He has never opened his eyes and seen the world - which has to be said to be a blessing.
The memory disappeared like smoke, and Joshua's eyes refocused.
He heard the voices of the Siberia resistance team behind him and knew their movements, but the soldier didn't care. He stared at the world of Siberia in front of him, and at the puppet army that was rapidly attacking. Joshua had no fluctuation in his heart. He just sighed softly.
He doesn't like the massacre of civilians. He doesn't agree with it in any way and can never accept it. This is a disgust engraved in his soul. He doesn't like the strong bullying the weak, and he doesn't like to inflict violence on weak people who have no power to resist. As long as he can, he will never allow this to happen.
Joshua hated it all and would never change.
This is a personal subjective position that will not change due to any conditions. Even if he knows the difficulties of the Sibiya resistance, he will not change his opinion or assist them in this regard. When he was angry, Joshua even wanted to He intends to use his own power to force his own values on the Siberian resistance. He intends to use his own power to achieve his own goals and spread his ideas.
But he won't do this, to be precise, he won't do it roughly. After calming down, Joshua has already thought of a series of countermeasures... He will teach the resistance the correct way to train their superpowers. He will improve their strength and open up a way forward for the future. Joshua will make them become We need to become stronger, so that everyone can become a strong person who does not need to be influenced by 'conditions', so that they can have a way to strengthen themselves by awakening the puppet without killing the puppet.
If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace. With enough food to survive, people will have the basis to discuss etiquette. With enough strength to survive, people will know the use of morality. The reason why the Sibiya resistance is so difficult is precisely because they are not strong enough to stop the puppet army and establish a stable base. They can only plunder the resources of the soul puppet garden from time to time and then wander around.
In such a situation, it is impossible to develop a 'civilization'. The fugitives will remain fugitives, and they have no possibility of going any further.
But Joshua made it possible for them.
On the ground, the invisible and explosive people who were about to hide according to Chariot's orders stopped in place. They watched the old man striding towards the flying puppet master, wanting to remind the other party to leave quickly. In response, the two He had no choice but to follow forward.
All the members of this Siberian super team were rescued from various plantations by Chariot and raised... Chariot is their family member and father to them. They can leave anyone behind and escape, but Chariot Du would not leave each other behind, and the two of them were preparing to stride up to the old man's footsteps and help him remind the puppet master to hurry up.
But halfway through, the two stopped and stared blankly at the sky.
Not only was it explosive and invisible, the chariot ahead of it that was shouting reminders was also staring blankly at the words in the sky.
Even in the distance, the magic arrow that was rapidly leaving under the power of Pegasus let out a light sigh. She turned her head and looked at the plantation, which was getting smaller and farther away, with a trace of uncontrollable surprise on her worried and irritable face.
Because they saw the extremely brilliant colors.
Ding bell bell... Along with the metal collision, a clear sound like a bell, large tracts of colorful particles spilled out from all over the burly puppet's body, red, blue, yellow and green, black and white, silver and gold, countless complex and brilliant color particles. It moves according to the orbit in the air, floating beside the puppet.
"Super unit!"
After a brief pause, Chariot exclaimed, he knew that this was the super unit used by the super puppets. For such objects of unknown materials, the resistance could not destroy or use them. They could not even touch them, so They can only be ignored - in the final analysis, the output of super puppets is not large, and only one can be loaded at a time, so there is no need to care too much.
But now, they saw thousands of super units floating around the giant puppet. They rotated in an extremely regular and naturally beautiful trajectory, like bright stars.
They saw that the tall and sturdy puppet moved. It stepped in the air and slowly walked forward. Countless super units - particles of steel - began to collide with each other and combined with each other, and finally formed six shining strange colors. The octahedral gems, with their surfaces flowing with wonderful brilliance, finally flew towards the steel ring behind the warrior.
"I can't help but do this kind of thing... I can't always ignore it."
Under the incredible gazes of Chariot and others, Joshua strolled towards the direction of the hunter-killer army. He closed his eyes and then opened them again. The structure on the puppet's body deformed under the force of steel. , becoming smoother and more ferocious.
The soldier stared at the world in front of him, the smoke and atmosphere, the hot wind and the army. He smelled the blood of evaporated human blood, and also smelled the irony smell of metal.
If anything, this kind of thinking is arrogant.
"Arrogance is arrogance, I admit it."
Six octahedral gems, which are condensed from countless steel particles, are slowly inlaid on the rotating disk. The powerful authority is integrated by a higher power. With the injection of steel power, the rotating steel The wheel released terrifying energy fluctuations that even shook the atmosphere, pushing away all the smoke and dust within a radius of several thousand meters, forming a vast dust-free space.
"Super unit loading - loading successful!" The subtle electromagnetic signal mixed with soul fluctuations was transmitted in the atmosphere, but no one could hear it except the warriors.
bring it on.
At the end of the month, please give me a monthly pass.
Joshua is a human being and naturally has past experiences, likes and dislikes, and it is normal for him to have his own personal thoughts.
