[Today’s earthquake in Ya’an, Sichuan, let us silently pray for the people in the disaster area, and hope that they are safe. ]
boom!
Amid the gloomy explosion, the bark of a large piece of ancient tree was blown to pieces, revealing a deep and secluded passage. Explosions like this resounded everywhere in the forest. Soldiers installed plastic bombs at the entrance of Bedes City, and forcibly blasted open gaps in the hollow ancient trees used to cover up. Immediately, the city of Bedes was exposed to the sight of humans as if it was defenseless.
Beyonce is fiddling with a small device like a pocket brain in her hand, which is a sonar detector provided by the Helburn family. It can detect complex geographical environment through the propagation of sound, and is mostly used for the development of mineral deposits. It can constantly oscillate in a certain area in a complex way through sound waves of different frequencies, so as to present the geographic three-dimensional structure map of the area on the screen. It is very convenient to use it to find the entrance of Bides City.
After blasting the passage, the soldiers rushed into the dungeon from several entrances. This time, Beyoncé only brought an army of about 3,000 people. After all, the main force of Bides City had been lost in Pavalic. According to the information brought back by Zero before, most of what is left in Bides City now are dwarven slave labor without combat power. It's just that the number of hard labor is at least two thousand. Faced with this huge base, Beyoncé dispatched so many people to facilitate the control of prisoners.
Soon, the soldiers and the hundred or so guards left by Mesrit in the dungeon began to exchange fire. Amidst the dense gunfire, accompanied by the sharp sound of the rocket launcher from time to time, it pushed forward steadily towards the depths. Although the dungeon guards were attacking desperately, it was a pity that the number was seriously insufficient, making resistance a meaningless exercise. The battle ended after 20 minutes, and all the guards were wiped out, but there were also two hundred human corpses left behind. This is due to the strength of the dungeon fighters and the complex environment of the branches, which makes the soldiers' firepower scattered and it is impossible to concentrate and annihilate them.
Half an hour later, all the dwarven slaves were gathered at the loading and unloading square where they traded with Pavalic. Under the black guns of the soldiers, the dwarves were divided into two groups. Soldiers like wolves and tigers guarded them, waiting for the arrival of Beyonce under the command of the commander.
Ling accompanied Beyonce to the square, and seeing the two groups of dwarves in the dark, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. This is the age of cannibalism, the age of plunder. Human beings not only compete with themselves, but also compete with other intelligent life for the limited living space. If it weren't for the emergence of capable people among human beings, then the current scene in Bidis City might have happened in a certain town of human beings.
At this time, Beyonce didn't know what to say to the commander. The commander nodded, and immediately wiped his neck towards the group of dwarves on the left.
There was a sudden sound of gunfire.
Hundreds of rifles fired at the same time, and the dense line of fire penetrated the dwarf's body. They died with screams, and after a while, the gunfire stopped, leaving nearly a thousand dwarf corpses on the square.
The blood gathered into a pool of blood and spread to all directions. The soldiers remained motionless, letting the alien blood flow over their shoes.
Zero's face was livid.
Beyoncé didn't change her face, and said to the dwarves on the right: "Among you, do any of you speak our language. I need a translator. If there is no one, it's a pity that they will end up with you."
She pointed to the corpse lying on the square.
Among the dwarves, the supervisor who had done handover work with the caravan that day, and then followed Huo Xian to Pavalich for advice, walked out timidly. It whispered, "Ma'am, I think I can help you."
"Very well, what's your name?"
"Brie."
"Okay Bree, from now on, you are their leader. Tell them that the era of Bedes City is over. I know that you play the role of builders and creators in this city. In the future, you will also You also have to work. It’s just that the object of service has become other people, but I can guarantee that you will live a better life than here. But..." Beyoncé dragged her tone: "If someone resists, then, go down A dead body is it!"
Bree heard the undisguised murderousness in the woman's tone, and it shivered. Dwarves are no more than warriors and nobles. Their origins are already predetermined as soon as they are born. They live at the highest point of the city of Bedes, but at the lowest level of the entire stratum. They are hardworking, but also timid and cowardly. They are afraid of death, and Bree is no exception. As long as they can survive, it doesn't matter who they serve.
So after Bree conveyed Beyonce's meaning, none of the dwarves dared to resist. On the other side of the square, thousands of corpses of the same kind had already crushed their remaining courage into powder.
The next job was relatively simple. Under Beyonce's instruction, the commander asked the soldiers to issue a set of shackles to each of the remaining thousand or so dwarves to ensure that they could not escape. Soldiers then escorted these slaves out of the dungeon, they would be taken onto trucks, and then escorted back to Pavalich by about 2,000 soldiers. After reuniting with the captives in Pavalich, return to Asgard first to carry out the early slave domestication work.
In this regard, the Black Rose family already has a complete set of domestication procedures and has rich experience.
As for Beyoncé and the rest of the soldiers, they stayed in Bides City and temporarily took over the management of the entire dungeon until the arrival of the two old men, Charlotte and Austin, before handing them over to them. At this moment, Beyonce and a hundred soldiers are heading towards the bottom of the dungeon. Zero followed her, while Su and Berrien stayed in the square in the middle.
Beyoncé's goal is obvious, it is heading in the direction of the well of the abyss. Ling walked behind her without saying a word, Beyoncé was touched and said with a smile: "Do you think I did too much just now?"
"I know why you do this. One is to establish prestige; the other is to reduce the number of slaves to avoid insufficient supervision; the third is to increase the value of slaves. After all, the smaller the base, the greater the individual value." Zero smiled wryly: "Just , Killing so many defenseless...creatures in one go, I'm still not used to it."
"I thought you were going to show the principles of righteousness and morality." Beyoncé smiled lightly, and then her expression became extremely cold: "If it was a peaceful age, I would not do it. Unfortunately, this age is more tolerant. Don't be weak, even kindness has its limits. You are absolutely right, which shows that you are fully adapted to the rules of the game in this era. It's just that you haven't stood up to my height, so you have the so-called "unaccustomed" ' thoughts."
"When I am in my position, or stand higher. You will find that these 'unaccustomed' ideas are such a luxury. We don't have many choices, do we?"
Zero silence.
The road Beyoncé walked, he is walking now, and must go further. On this road, he knows that many things will subvert his cognition, and sometimes even do things that violate the principles. As Beyoncé said, standing in the position of a guide, every decision he makes is not only related to himself, but also to the many people who serve him.
At some point, principles also need to be compromised for interests. Unless, zero can find a way to coexist.
And this is as difficult as it is for human beings to coexist with other intelligent life.
All the way down.
Without such a useful tool as an elevator, it is impossible to use the space-like piercing edge like Zero. Beyonce, who measured the depth of the dungeon with her own feet, saw the Well of the Abyss after spending nearly two hours.
"Oh my God, this is simply a miracle." Beyoncé stood at the borehole, looked at the deep oil lake below and sighed: "It's really unimaginable that oil is found under the mountains."
Ling rested his chin in one hand and said: "The movement of the earth's crust, coupled with the fact that the underground people are good at digging. Perhaps these accidental factors have caused the inevitable result now. However, if you give so much black gold to Charlotte and the others, you Don't you regret it?"
Beyoncé didn't answer and asked instead: "The number of slaves captured this time is quite a lot, why don't we send you two hundred more?"
Zero shook his head and said, "I can't afford to support so many slaves."
"Me too." Beyoncé blinked her eyes and said, "Too huge benefits, if you don't have a matching appetite, you will only burst your stomach if you forcefully eat it. Black gold is good, but I have already got the prediction The income, and the ability of the family can only digest these things for the time being. As for them, let Charlotte and the others."
"I would be very happy if they focused most of their attention on Bedes City because of the huge benefits of black gold. This means that they must not be able to devote too much energy in other fields, and I can take the opportunity to catch up." Go beyond them. Many times, the benefits are not just what you see."
Zero listened silently, and deeply remembered the woman's words. Beyoncé has her own philosophy of life, although Zero doesn't need to copy her philosophy, it is very good to use as a reference.
Beyonce continued to observe the wonderful place of the Abyss Well, and Zero received a message from Brown over the radio: "Boss, you better come, we found something interesting."
After a while, Zero came to the place Brown designated. This is a building located under the loading and unloading plaza. It should be a greenhouse for the underground people to cultivate their offspring. The temperature and humidity inside are maintained at a certain level. And occupying the entire greenhouse are densely packed eggs!
Brown took a life detector from the soldier, and he handed it to Zero. Zero saw that the instrument showed that there were life reactions in these giant eggs as tall as humans. Brown said: "When they were on the top just now, they detected that there was still a life reaction below, so I followed. I didn't expect to see these things. What should I do? Take them all back?"
"No, destroy them all." Zero thought for a while and said.
"you sure?"
Zero weight nods.
Brown spread his hands and said, "Okay, listen to you."
He walks away and tells the soldiers to bring flamethrowers. The next moment, the greenhouse was illuminated by fire, and a light blue flame with a temperature of more than 1,000 degrees roared in the greenhouse. The surface of the eggshell was first carbonized quickly, and then crackled and cracked. The eggshell shattered, and the thick light gray liquid immediately splashed. But instead of making the surrounding flames slightly lower, these ** made the flames burn more vigorously like a combustion accelerant.
Inside the eggshell are bodies wrapped in flesh. They have different shapes, and they are not fully developed, only one prototype is seen. But they were obviously alive, and they writhed as soon as they were roasted by the flames. But there was no sound, it seemed that the vocal organs hadn't fully grown yet, so these unborn underground tribesmen were all buried in the flames.
"Is there any smoke?" Zero asked Brown.
Brown gave him a strange look, then fumbled for a pack of cigarettes on his body. Zero smoked one, flicked his fingers, a small flame was born between his fingers, lit the cigarette, and then walked away. Brown had seen it clearly just now, the little flame generated by Zero seemed to be shaking violently.
After taking two deep breaths, Zero exhaled. There was a feeling of stagnation in his chest, and his palms trembled slightly. Just now, one of his orders completely made a species history. Zero was never soft on the battlefield, but this time, he felt his body trembling.
It wasn't fear, nor excitement, but other complex emotions.
But even if he was asked to choose again, he would give the same order. Reason told him that this was the correct choice. The city of Bedes had already been buried in the hands of human beings. If the descendants of the underground people were allowed to stay, it would only create soil for the seeds of hatred to germinate. Therefore, it would be better to completely burn the seeds at the beginning.
clap clap—
There was still a small crackling sound coming from the greenhouse, and the sound was carried far away in the silent dungeon. In the prayer room above the Well of the Abyss, the door was slowly closed by a pair of firm hands, shutting out the crackling.
Mesrit burst into tears, but the strange thing is that its all-powerful face is calm and terrifying. After the chief priest escaped from the Silver Frost Forest, he found that his people were escorted away by human soldiers in trucks. Mesrit knows that the dungeon is now occupied by humans. It's not that it didn't expect humans to come, but it didn't expect humans to come so quickly.
So it went through a secret passage to the prayer room, hoping to save those unhatched clansmen in time. Unfortunately, even this last hope was ruthlessly buried in the flames.
"Unforgivable!" Mesrit said through gritted teeth.
When he came to the portrait of the Naga during the prayer, Mesrit slapped the portrait heavily. The wall behind the portrait immediately slid several feet inward, the ground trembled slightly, and a stone platform rose from below. On the surface of the stone platform, there is a depression in the middle, and there are four crystal grooves connecting the depression on the platform from different directions, extending to the bottom of the stone platform, forming a symbol with a special meaning, and finally sinking to the ground.
Mesrit said in a tone full of resentment: "My king Naga, your subjects are calling here, please wake up from the abyss. My family has almost perished in the hands of human beings, please take revenge for us and kill us. Just those damned humans. As for your uncompleted genes, let me, Maesrit, offer them to you!"
After saying that, Maesrit raised his right hand and inserted it into his chest forcefully. Immediately, blood spattered everywhere. Mesrit didn't intend to stop, but still dug his arm deep into his chest, and finally caught an oval spar with a faint red glow. This is the crystal nucleus of Maesrit, which exists like a heart, in which Maesrit's complete life genes are preserved!
