Chapter 148: Deep Sorrow (16): Elimination of Fear
"Eliminate...the fear of the dead when they are still alive?" "Future" muttered in a low voice, trying his best to think.
But the "cyborg centipede monster" didn't give him a chance. After turning its huge body "difficultly" and heavily, the two discovered that the muscles on the monster's body were crawling crazily.
Soon, all the eyeballs sunk in and turned into dark holes. These holes began to expand, mix, and move, and quickly turned into three huge barrels. If you look carefully, you can see that they are more than one meter wide. Compared to
Most of the artillery currently equipped in the Federation are even larger.
The mechanical pop-up sound of "ka-ka" was extremely shocking in this silent, dark, fishy world of ruins. In an instant, the gun barrel had extended forward for more than three meters, and it lay down on the body of the "monster".
After trying his best to curl his head inward, the barrel of the gun was pointed steadily at the "Future" person.
"'Future', if I remember correctly, the [soldiers] of the federal elite team have the highest requirements for discipline and operational accuracy when training and fighting." Lorca analyzed.
"What do you want to explain?" "Future" responded, and stretched out the remaining two Hezi tentacles again, ignoring the bright red liquid and red "burning liquid" on the surface, under the surge of dark and ancient power.
, quickly entwined together and blocked in front of the body as a shield to defend against possible fire attacks.
"I remember it was said in "Old Travels" that the monsters of the 'Kappa Chibin' combination will inherit part of the memory of the organisms that was imprinted in the genes during their lifetime. Look, the action of extending the barrel and aiming is very strange, isn't it?
Like federal soldiers using bunkers to squat and load their weapons, aiming at the enemy who is about to pull the trigger to attack?" Lorca further analyzed.
"anything else?"
"Look at those gun barrels, the material is similar to that of federal weapons. A small part is stainless steel, most is lightweight aluminum alloy, and the stock is mostly made of wood, such as birch, beech, etc. And the bullets...
…”
Before Lorca could finish speaking, the "Cyborg Centipede Monster" contracted violently and shot out three cannonballs with bright red outer flames, heading straight towards the "future".
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three dull sounds, accompanied by flames that suddenly rose but died suddenly, and countless scattered sparks, shocked "Future" to slide back several steps.
Simply, at the cost of a Hezi tentacle, "Future" just vomited out a mouthful of blood again and barely blocked this fatal attack.
It seemed that such a violent attack consumed too much energy. The head of the "cyborg centipede monster" slowly and strangely lifted up, and the gun barrel was pointed at the top of the space, while the body was shaking greatly, much like a human being exercising violently.
, looking out of breath after being stressed.
"This monster... is really powerful enough." "Future" wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared at the "monster" with his eyes, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth again, letting out a presumptuous, bitter, helpless and tinged expression.
He smiled excitedly and said:
"Lorca, I only have one tentacle. The disappearance of all four tentacles means the end of the power borrowed from 'Dark Crimson'. Just like that time when 'Wind Mine' and I were plotted by Morun, we were forced to use tentacles to form
They escaped with the drill bits, only to find that they were scrapped as soon as they came out.
"If this Hezi tentacle is damaged again, I will be punished by the ancient gods and cannot use my power for at least three months. This... this monster may just be the 'appetizer' of the entire ruins, and it will become more powerful, more mysterious, and more powerful in the future.
You can't solve the exciting 'monsters' at all. Death... is very close to us, Lorca."
"I...hahaha" "Future" said, his legs became weak and he knelt down. From Luo Ka's perspective, he looked like a coward who knelt down to his enemy after accepting defeat and begged for forgiveness.
But Luo Ka knew that the "future" was just infected by the strong overflowing power of the ancient gods and the strong "sorrow", and his mental power began to decline.
Therefore, he will not step forward to help "Future" up, nor will he answer his questions. During this period, in addition to proposing effective solutions, waiting silently to vent emotions is the correct way to deal with the loss of mental power.
Way.
Staring at the bright red and alluring liquid coughed up on the ground, "Future" continued to speak in a weird, twisted, childish and unbeatable tone:
"I, being able to use Constantinian's body to help him extend his life to this day, is already a great gift from the 'Lord of the Night' and the 'Creator'. If it weren't for the 'divine' driving our fusion, I might have long ago
In the body of a monster, it is devoured by its own kind, or bombarded by human artillery, and is completely eliminated.
"I inherited the identity of Constantinian and once again possess the extremely rare self-will. This may be the punishment of the miserable world. Since I became a lost person, I have been with death, surrounded by gunfire and blood.
Weird, except for a few days living with you, I have never had a peaceful sleep.
"I have been taking risks, killing, and being unable to extricate myself between humans and the lost. I thought that after struggling extremely painfully and experiencing countless life and death tests, I could gain the favor of the gods in this darkest night, or that little bit.
A faint light.
"But in the end, I felt that all my efforts were like a helpless cry, just like Rivers, the warrior who couldn't push the boulder to the top of the mountain. In the end, I could only accept the only fate of death. Perhaps, 'Wind Mine'
'My brother should have woken up from his sorrow at that moment and used the gun in his hand to shoot through my brain.
"Compared to dying with a clear mind, perhaps the end of chaos is a great happiness in the wasteland era. Lorca, the earthquake just now has blocked our retreat, and now...it is indeed because of my excitement.
, my arrogance, I have lost the power to defeat this 'centipede monster'."
"I said, 'Future'." Seeing that "Future"'s mental state was slightly better and his facial expression gradually returned to normal, Luo Ka then pulled him up and advised:
"As long as the fear of those federal soldiers who died here is eliminated, the power of 'Kappa Chibin' can be fundamentally destroyed. And the monster body it creates will imitate many behaviors under the premise of inheriting its memory. This is not
It arises out of thin air, but has its roots.
"'Future', get up. The god in charge of death has not yet sent us a signal to extradite to the underworld. Death is indeed very close to us, but far enough away. I am sure that your cowardly words just now were caused by 'Kapa Chibin'
'The result of guidance.
"Yes, He is waiting for your death, looking forward to your death. It is said in the book that consuming strength is the first step, disintegrating the will is the second step, and waiting for you to hurt yourself is the third step. Here is 'Sorrow'
's furnace, where any species will gather enough fear power before it dies.
"Once... once the power of fear is strong enough, 'it' may materialize into a physical 'him'. Regardless of whether 'him' has the will to attack people now, once the specific 'old god' is dormant in the world,
, will be a time bomb, a cannonball capable of leading mankind to the abyss."
"You have a solution, right, Luo Ka?" "Future"'s eyes have returned to clarity, and he asked Luo Ka as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
"Those dead Federation [soldiers]..." Lorca nodded slightly and analyzed:
"The bullets in their guns are the product of a combination of portability and economy. You also know that even though the Federal Council controls the main strongholds in each province, the mines outside the cities cannot be fully exploited, and from time to time they will suffer from 'unintentional people'
'And the harassment of our lost ones.
"They need mineral resources, and so do we. Therefore, using less resources to make more weapons has made successive chief executives focus on steel bullet casings. Steel has higher hardness, longer power and longer range.
But it is not as resistant to extraordinary power as silver and copper.
"Generally, steel is easier to absorb and transmit magic power, while copper and silver are inherently resistant to magic power. Moreover, Brother 'Ice Blade' told me that for so many years, no scientist in the Federation has been able to conquer steel.
Regarding the 'metal fatigue' problem of aluminum materials, perhaps only after the 'evolution platform' of the old empire is truly discovered can technological progress in this area be achieved."
"In other words, as long as I... keep attacking the barrel and metal parts of the 'monster', I can see the effect of 'Metal Fatigue' at some point, right?" "Future", who was mostly awake, analyzed it carefully.
.
"That's it. These federal soldiers don't have any magic power, so from beginning to end, you can't be suppressed by the 'monster' in magic. His power is pure technology and ruthless moves, so you have to abandon magical thinking and turn to science.
." Luo Ka nodded and expressed his approval:
"The great emperor of the old empire, Ivan XXII the great man of Krusted, once said; 'Krusd has only four allies, our army, navy, aerospace force, and the ever-developing
science and technology.
"Also, just now I seemed to see the shadow of wooden products at the connection between the barrel and the body of the 'monster'. Those gun butts seemed to be used here."
As Luo Ka spoke, he made fists with both hands and moved forward parallel, surging with the suppressed fire magic power in his body. After reciting the only "Chinese language" he knew, two swaying fire cats came out of his fists.
The tips surged out and barely merged to form a fireball that expanded at an extremely slow speed.
"Go up and fight, 'Future', I believe that your last tentacle will not be damaged. After defeating it, we will have enough time to repair it." Lorca shouted.
"Okay, I'm on board!" "Future" whispered.
Suddenly, with the gush of dark magic power like high-pressure steam, a layer of pure black and purple light appeared on the surface of "Future"'s body, jumping up gently, taking advantage of the "cyborg centipede monster" just
Adjusting the muzzle to a point parallel to the ground, "Future" curled up in mid-air and stretched out the only remaining Hezi tentacle downward like a tail.
At the same time, Hezi's tentacles curled up spontaneously and within a few seconds turned into a drill that was as long and wide as "Future"'s body.
Boom!
boom!
Boom!
boom!
Boom!
boom!
The "Cyborg Centipede Monster" fired three cannonballs, and taking advantage of the interval between attacks, "Future" also launched the same impact three times at one of the cannon barrels.
The "Future" in the offensive state easily avoided the fatal attack launched by the shells on Hezi. Only one of them grazed his arm and scratched a piece of skin, revealing the turbid and dark red muscle tissue.
Regardless of the wound, "Future" chose to take advantage of the "monster"'s pause in preparation to surge up the dark magic source power in his body that can finally support the absolute balance of mental power, pour it into the drill, and smash it with the most violent force.
Barrel position.
boom!
Click!
The crisp sound of impact and the sound of metal breaking spread one after another, and one of the gun barrels was really cut off straight away.
Looking at the break in the rules, Luo Ka and "Future" breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Looking at the right time, Luo Ka quickly stepped forward, hit the ground through the flames and bounced into the air. He was slightly lower than "Future" and hit a sufficient level.
A flame the size of a fist.
boom!
As soon as it touched the exposed wooden part of the fracture, the flames spread and burned like the fury of an "ice bear".
A few seconds later, accompanied by a strong burning smell, "Future", who was already standing on the huge head of the "Cyborg Centipede Monster", saw the black charred tissue, as well as the huge ravine formed after the surrounding metal coating faded, and the
A full, bright red stain that overflows outwards.
Although this attack dealt a heavy blow to the "monster", with the blessing of the power of the unidentified "Kappa Chibin", the "monster" swayed and slowly raised its body, like a caterpillar walking upright, showing a strange
attack posture.
Suddenly, to the surprise of "Future" and Luo Ka, the "monster" no longer attacked with brute force this time. Instead, two huge vines extended out from the body, almost from the chest where the heart was, and rushed towards the person who had failed to guard against him.
The two of them entwined them and lifted them up.
What's strange is that when he was lifted into the air, surrounded by the fishy and disgusting smell, and being constantly exerted by the vines with huge pressure that almost made his body burst, Luo Ka actually raised the corners of his mouth and showed a proud smile.
Just now, the last shackle that prevented him from solving "how to eliminate fear" was broken, and he finally figured out how to act.
Taking a deep breath and resisting the pressure exerted by the vines, Luoka shouted:
"You are all [soldiers] of the Federation, right? You should be the most brave and capable of fighting, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the "monster" shook slightly, and the vines stopped exerting pressure on the body.
"It works, Lorca." "Future" whispered excitedly.
Without caring about his pride, Luo Ka continued:
"Three months ago, I went to the strategic group in Binglin City and heard that there was a team that carried out missions, code-named 'Icefield Steel Bears'. I heard that they were the strongest and most determined teams in the world who carried out missions.
The outstanding human being [Warrior] who does not mess around.
"Logically speaking, you should not be contaminated by fear. Even if you are surrounded by 'shang', you should be the last ones to go crazy."
Lorca's words seemed to have a miraculous effect, as the "monster" emitted overlapping and complex wails of pain. Gradually, the vines lost their grip and became looser.
Seeing this situation, Luo Ka planned to pursue the victory, raised his voice a little, and continued:
"I guess that you have lost contact with the 'commander' here. You who accept orders every day may have lost your absolute ability to respond. Perhaps the ancient power displayed by 'Kapa Chibin' is unknown to you.
, so, due to biological instinct, you began to fear."
This time, the vines began to shake violently, and the "monster's" huge body began to sway like leaves, looking particularly weird and scary.
But the good thing is that the force of the restraint has been weakened to the lowest level, and Lorca and "Future" can finally slip out of the gaps in the vines easily and fall to the ground.
Luo Ka, who had entered the state, naturally would not stop. His face gradually began to show a proud look, like a detective who knew everything. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the "monster" and continued to analyze:
"The Zine people once said that fear is only born from fear itself. Only by forgetting fear can humans gain a foothold in the wasteland world. It is obvious that you have forgotten the warnings given to you by federal leaders. You are acting in fear and without command.
In this state, he quickly became confused due to the influence of 'Shang'.
"In addition, the darkness has hindered your progress. The road back may have changed its direction and you are unable to turn around. So, you have forgotten the Krusted people and the leader Vasily. Naturally, you have forgotten it while hurting each other.
Human identity right?”
"Save me...save us..." The "monster" actually made a human voice in Lorca's words, which was indeed a good sign.
Seeing this situation, Luo Ka chose to launch the final blow. He straightened his body and shouted loudly:
"You did not have any fear when facing the people of Crusted and the leader. Once you get the correct instructions and are no longer confused, you will no longer have any fear.
"I came here to bring you Lord Vasily Voliganov's orders. There are only two orders. One is: fight for Krusted!
"Second: Never be afraid!"
"Never be afraid." The power of these words is no less than that of a demigod who uses his magic power to unleash devastating moves, like thunder in the long night that suddenly wakes up the souls of these Federation [soldiers].
In a few seconds, when the loyalty to the leader and the responsibility of the people returned to their spirit, these federal [soldiers] no longer had any reason to fear.
Heads flew outward one by one, and bodies rushed upward. They turned into illusory energy bodies one after another, causing the "monster" to fall apart and disappear in an instant.
Standing up slowly, wiping away the bright red liquid in his hands, "Future" cast an admiring look at Roca, and his eyes turned to where the "monster" originally stood, leaving nothing behind.
Soon, a pillar of light appeared in the center of the pool behind the position, leading to the chaotic area at the top, reflecting complex ancient totems.
"Future" took out the paper on which the prophecy was written again, and after reading it for a while, he took Luo Ka's hand, walked towards the light pillar, and said:
"The water surface has become solid enough, and the light pillar can lead us closer to the core area."
