Chapter 1013 The Root of the Giant Tree (Central)
Ke Lan turned his head and looked at Zeluo. The latter nodded to him and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "There are indeed no traces of living creatures nearby, but..."
"But what?" Ke Lan asked.
"The traces of that kind of power are very obvious, and they are very close to the third layer of the nest."
"Has the disaster ever come on the ark in these days?" Ke Lan asked in confusion, "But if the disaster really comes on the ark, the existence of these people should have been known to Him
...That means that all our efforts are in vain..."
"No, no!" Ke Lan immediately denied his thoughts, "If the undead crew will successfully make the 'disaster' come, there will probably be many people in the Survivors Alliance with erosion exceeding the critical point...
But the current situation is that without exposure to excessive 'taboo knowledge', the people in the Survivor League did not show any signs of excessive erosion.
"The remaining power on the ark should be just a kind of 'pseudo disaster', just like the third level of the nest - all the remaining powers were concentrated to the cloud top and did not escape at all. As for the others
Several layers of 'disaster power' disappeared completely at the moment when the last erosion corrupted completely.
"Otherwise, any ordinary human who enters the nest will break through the critical threshold in an instant and transform into erosion in a very short time.
"As for Hruni and others becoming eroded, it was entirely because they were exposed to a lot of 'taboo knowledge'. The difference between the two is like chronic diseases and acute diseases. The former can make people survive for a while, while the latter is
It is a sudden death immediately when the attack occurs.
"The dome that is 'not directly visible' on the third floor of the nest is actually Nieto used the power of the Genting to create a 'test product'. Even Nieto himself could not completely control the dome.
"The Immortal Crew will probably use some objects left by the power of "His" to create a 'man-made disaster'... Although this 'man-made disaster' will transform the residents on the ark into erosion in large quantities.
, but it won't attract 'His's attention."
But there is always a problem that Ke Lan can't explain - since the ill-dead crew has the ability to create "pseudo disasters", why don't they take advantage of their time while they are still on the ark? They can directly kill the hunting group in one go
That's good, even Yagunakotol can't escape the disaster.
From Ke Lan's perspective, the Immortal Crew seems to have missed the best opportunity.
...
The team continued to advance and soon left the destroyed commercial area and entered the North District 1.
North District 1 was once the district with the largest number of wealthy people on the Ark, but compared with the various high-rise buildings in North District 2 and North District 3, North District 1 does not have many high-rise buildings. At first glance, the structure of the entire North District 1 and
The buildings are all very similar to the third floor of the Nest. The plots are divided into many large-scale manors or courtyards. Various styles of gorgeous villas or castles are seen from a distance. Most of the decorative buildings are made of
With the antique style, the only modern one is the main highway and its branches that run through the entire North First District.
North Zone 1 belongs to the no-fly zone on the ark. Not only are various aircraft prohibited from entering North Zone 1, but even the air tracks have not been built. The only types of transportation can be used: air cushion vehicles, legs and those expensive
Horse.
The dome of North District 1 is a super large screen with no seams visible to the naked eye. It can simulate various weather conditions. Except for the lack of a forest used as a hunting garden, the painting style of North District 1 is like a nest.
The third floor is exactly the same.
But now the entire dome screen has been extinguished, revealing its original black, with pale roots crawling with those Doric or Baroque retro buildings. The beautiful air cushion sports car is entangled with the roots and raised high
, twisted into a pile of scrap iron in the air - there seemed to be a person sitting in the cockpit of the luxury car. With Ke Lan's eyesight, he could even see the seat belt clasped on the seat through the window, only
However, the driver who was originally fixed on the seat by a seat belt has disappeared, and even blood is not left behind.
"Everyone is careful." Ke Lan said softly, "I always feel... there seems to be something troublesome here."
There are indeed some troubles here, but this is not what Ke Lan felt, but what Ze Luo told him--just in the gorgeous marble castle in the direction of the team at twelve o'clock, there is a power that cannot be tolerated.
Underestimated erosion.
Moreover, the erosion body also has a very special ability... Although Zeluo can sense that it has special ability, he cannot know what it is.
"It seems to be covered with a layer of mist, a layer of mist on the level of consciousness that can block the exploration of other creatures." Ze Luo said in Ke Lan's ear, "I can only sense a powerful one.
The heart... If calculated according to the strengthening level, it will not be lower than level 14."
Level 14 strengthening level...that is already stronger than the "Sita-level mutant" in the nest. If you cannot use the power of the body and do not expose Zeluo's real combat power, this team encountered this monster,
There is only one ending to destroy it all.
"The front team changed direction and bypassed the castle directly in front." Ke Lan ordered, "maintain a safe distance of at least 300 meters from the castle."
The soldiers had no doubts about Ke Lan's orders. The heavy infantry walking in the front immediately jumped off the road, crossed a lawn, and headed towards another road that did not pass in front of the castle.
The others followed the heavy infantry and entered the lawn one after another. Only the group behind the rear left a few soldiers, lying on the road, holding sniper rifles, staring at the movements on the other side of the castle.
But just as half of the people left the main road, Ze Luo suddenly pulled Ke Lan's sleeve and whispered: "It's moving."
"Tsk... It seems that this guy has already discovered us, because we were heading towards where it was, so it did not attack us in advance. Now that we have seen us change our route, it can't sit still
…” Ke Lan thought to himself. He had just planned to make a sound to let everyone enter the state of combat readiness, but a sniper in the rear-end group immediately stood up and turned around.
"Lough, have you found anything?" another soldier who was familiar with the sniper asked subconsciously, but the answer to him was a 0.5-inch anti-equipment sniper bullet.
At such a close distance, the body of the soldier exploded into pieces of flesh and blood mist exploded, dyeing the whole body of the sniper rifle that fired the gun into
It's red.
Ke Lan noticed that the sniper's eyes were unsightly and his face was dull, but the movements in his hands were completely unaffected. After killing his teammate with one shot, he immediately turned the gun and aimed at the retreating.
The large force.
"He's controlled!"
Ke Lan had no time to issue any orders to other soldiers. He grabbed the shield from a heavy soldier and rushed out. The man was still in the air and did not land. Ke Lan had already activated the energy protection on the shield.
The shield generator, a two-meter square energy shield instantly emerged ten centimeters from the surface of the shield, and at the same time, the second shot of the controlled sniper happened to be fired.
The bullet thicker than the thumb turned into a hot iron stream when it hit the energy shield and splashed out along the surface of the shield. Ke Lan, who was in mid-air, had nowhere to leverage his power.
The gun flew backwards for more than ten meters until his feet touched the ground, and he could barely stop retreating.
Before Ke Lan could speak, the other soldiers immediately raised their guns and fired, knocking the controlled sniper into a sieve.
"Col. What's going on?" a soldier asked with lingering fear. He seemed to know the controlled sniper. "Lott could not be a traitor. How could he shoot at his own people?!"
"I know he is not a traitor. His consciousness has just been controlled...the things that control him are in that castle-"
Before the "face" in the castle was said, the soldier's face suddenly became extremely distorted. He pulled out a dagger and stabbed Ke Lan in the vital part. Fortunately, Ke Lan changed his expression in the soldier's face.
He reacted immediately, grabbed the other party's wrist and twisted it directly, and the sharp dagger also fell to the ground.
However, the soldier who lost his weapon and had his hands fixed did not give up the attack. He let out a beast-like roar in his throat, opened his mouth and bit Ke Lan's throat, completely ignoring his chin and bumped heavily.
When he reached the edge of Ke Lan's shoulder armor, a large piece of bloody flesh was torn off.
"It's really a troublesome enemy..." Ke Lan pulled out his pistol, thrust the pistol's grip directly into the soldier's mouth, swept hard, swept off all his teeth, and then twisted and dislocated him as usual
He finally knocked him out with a knife on the back of his neck.
He picked up the fainted soldier and looked around. The team that had originally had a regular formation was now in chaos. Many soldiers were killing each other. In just a few seconds, more than a dozen people had fallen.
On the lawn.
"Everyone retreated! All those who could hear the orders immediately gave up the battle and retreated quickly! Going far away from the castle!" Ke Lan knocked out the two controlled soldiers and shouted loudly.
There were about twenty people who followed Ke Lan and retreated. The dozen controlled soldiers stopped after chasing about two hundred meters away, confronting Ke Lan and the others across a road about ten meters wide.
Let's go.
"The situation is not optimistic." Ke Lan murmured to himself, "The things in the castle did not even show up, which directly caused two-thirds of our staff to be reduced..."
In the chaos just now, more than 20 soldiers died at the hands of their companions around them, and the number of soldiers under control was almost the same... and Ke Lan and the others didn't even see the enemy's appearance.
The soldiers who escaped around were all frightened on their faces. They gasped for breath, but did not dare to relax their vigilance at all.
The roadbed of this highway is more than one meter high, which is a good bunker. Both sides are shooting each other, and the situation is temporarily in a stalemate.
"The other party has group control ability, and it can be seen that it can be controlled at most about twenty people at a time." Ke Lan analyzed in his heart, "The limit distance of remote control should be about five hundred meters."
The reason why the number of five hundred meters was introduced was that the opposite side of the road was exactly five hundred meters away from the castle, and the monster did not care about the life and death of the person under control, so there was no need to let the controlled soldiers pass through Luji and Ke Lan and others.
Shooting against the enemy can make these controlled soldiers rush up fearlessly. Anyway, they can control other people if they die.
The reason why it did not do this is that Ke Lan and the others are now at a position that has exceeded its farthest control distance.
It is also very simple to verify this. Ke Lan threw the soldier in his hand to the ground, took out a kettle and poured the cold water inside directly on his face.
The soldier who was knocked out immediately woke up, turned his head in a daze, and asked, "Hao, what happened? Why did I faint... Hiss!"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the severe pain from his chin and wrists and ankles. Large beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead... Ke Lan glanced at him and helped him dislocate his forehead...
The wrists and ankles returned to their positions, then wrapped their chin with a bandage, and then gave them another pain-relieving needle.
"Hu...hu...hu..., colonel? What happened just now? We, who are we fighting fire with now?" The soldier who had recovered couldn't help but ask.
"You have just been controlled by the things in the castle and want to stab me to death with a dagger." Ke Lan said, "But I knocked you out and carried you all the way here... This place seems to be beyond the guy's control,
Your control is lifted.”
"I... am I controlled?" The soldier's eyes widened, "that...what is the one who is fighting fire with us now?"
"That's right, it's other people under control." Ke Lan nodded, "This road is the boundary of the other party's control range. As long as those people can be pulled here, they should be able to return to normal."
However, Ke Lan was not in a hurry to do this. In this situation, neither side suffered any casualties. He might as well take advantage of this opportunity to investigate what the other party's control ability is.
"Did you feel anything strange when you were controlled just now?" Ke Lan asked the soldier.
"Strange feeling? No...at all." The soldier looked confused, "I only remember talking to you for the last second, but the next second, the darkness in front of me passed. When my consciousness recovers,
Already here. I don't even know I've been controlled..."
