Chapter 96 Redstone Town

So far, it has been hit by at least hundreds of bullets, but it has not been pierced by those black gas bullets and then turned into fly ash.

"The black goat cub is using a method of burning its own health to resist the withering power of those bullets!"

Because there were real-time images captured by a high-magnification zoom lens, the three generals could see it very clearly. At this time, they had already gotten a rough idea.

Peacock once said that in the face of the power of withering, all living beings are equal. The God General of the Life Religion once thought that this was a peacock disguise, but now it seems that this is really not bragging.

As long as it is hit by a bullet with black gas, the shot area of ​​the black goat cub will dry up and wither in an instant. This is no different from when humans face the power of withering.

The reason why the black goat cub has not turned into old bacon is because it can quickly draw out its own vitality and repair the injured area immediately.

Ever since the war between the peacock and it, the body of the black goat cub has been glowing with a faint blush from time to time. This is the reaction of the mythical creature repairing its body.

Because it replenishes quickly enough and its health bar is long enough, even if its body continues to turn black, the shot area will return to its original state after the red light flashes.

It was precisely by relying on this method of breaking and repairing that the black goat cub could hold on and not fall down.

But such an approach also caused horrific consumption, and even a mythical creature couldn't withstand it.

As the black goat cub continued to be shot, the body of this giant began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just now, he was still nearly 20 meters tall, but now according to the data fed back by the satellite, the figure of Shub Nicholas's messenger has shrunk by 22%.

"We must find out what he just recited, there must be something wrong with that mantra!

Damn it, I knew his origin wouldn't be that simple.

Only at such a critical moment of life and death would Peacock be willing to use his ultimate trick, so he would be exposed!

Hypnos, you were in charge of conducting background checks on him, right?

How do you do things? Have you checked carefully?"

When Dalados, the most ill-tempered of the three god generals, was lashing out at his colleagues, the guide Hypnos was confirming with the technicians whether they had just recorded the sound of the scene.

Because of the timely deployment of additional satellites, the Life Order has been able to watch the entire incident that occurred near the Wall of Sighs.

Of course, their surveillance methods were not limited to satellites, but due to the electromagnetic surge caused by the black goat cub tearing through space, all the drones on the scene were destroyed.

It will definitely take time to temporarily dispatch drones, so the guide is very worried.

Peacock's performance today can no longer be described as a miracle.

Like the other two divine generals, he also believed that this was the same mantra that the peacock sang just now, so he absolutely could not accept their failure to record the live sound and such dereliction of duty.

"Lord General, don't worry, I confirm that we have collected enough audio data.

Give me some time to do post-processing, and I can guarantee to hand over the clearest first-hand information."

After repeated assurances from the technical sect personnel, the leader finally felt relieved.

Just as the leaders feared, their technicians did not have time to replenish drones to the area, but they had other options.

After the black goat cub tore through space, the electromagnetic surge stopped, so the electronic facilities on site and the cyber plug-ins in the soldiers' bodies have returned to normal.

As long as these people can see and hear, that means the Life Religion can also hear and see.

The technicians of the Order of Life have sufficient authority to invade those modified people with various chips in their heads. As long as they directly search and extract them, they can obtain the audio data.

Just when the three gods were torturing their men to pieces, the battle between the peacock and the black goat cub was about to come to a close.

The black goat cub already hated this human being who kept hitting him with black bullets, making him howl and scream.

He has been trying to attack the peacock with his four main tentacles, which are also his sharpest long-range weapons.

Each of the four main tentacles of the Black Goat Cub is thicker than an adult's waist. It can penetrate the Wall of Sighs with just one blow, so it is more terrifying than a cannon.

As long as these tentacles touch the peacock, that person will immediately turn into a ball of meat. But the problem is that the black goat cub cannot wave its tentacles at all.

Whenever it tries to swing out those tentacles, the peacock's bullets will fly.

No matter how many tentacles it extends, those bullets like reminders will always form a barrage, making it impossible for it to succeed.

At first, the monster roared angrily, but soon it turned into a crouching defense with its head held in its hands.

At this time, when another bullet hit it, it no longer roared in anger, but screamed like a wail.

When it could no longer endure the torture, the huge monster began to retreat step by step.

Unfortunately, in its eagerness, it retreated in the wrong direction, so it actually retreated towards the Wall of Sighs.

"Ahhh!"

Every time the monster takes a step back, the peacock will roar forward.

Because of excessive use of the power of withering, he felt that he was disconnected from the world again.

This situation is what Judy calls the most dangerous sign, because as long as this situation occurs, it means that he is losing his basic understanding of the world.

Once these cognitions collapse, he, Peacock, will become a hopeless lunatic.

Peacock didn't know how long he could hold on. He only knew that he would collapse when all the bullets in the box were used up.

Now he can't actually see the monster clearly. A layer of ground glass-like obstacles is quickly appearing between him and the world.

After being faced with this obstacle, Peacock basically continued to fire based on instinct.

As another string of bullets hit the monster, the monster, which was already half its size, first trembled violently, and then its body rapidly expanded like an inflated ball.

This expansion speed is so fast that its originally black body surface is becoming more and more transparent.

Black goat cubs rarely appear in the main material plane. This is not the first time that the three gods have seen this mythical creature.

But this must be the first time they saw a black goat cub being beaten until it screamed and screamed, so they didn't understand what this abnormality meant.

Regarding this abnormal situation, the soldiers at the scene were the first to react.

"Everyone, be careful! That thing might explode!"

Just when a certain Arasaka soldier shouted this reminder, the young black goat that had swollen like a ball exploded with a "bang".

At this moment, everyone felt that a little sun suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.

The huge explosion happened without everyone being prepared. Then there was another scream.

That day, the Night City Observatory recorded a shallow earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale. Since the source of the earthquake was above the surface, geologists thought that their instruments were broken again.

The power of the huge monster revealed was unimaginable, and what was even more shocking was that such powerful energy was suppressed in an extremely small space and did not spill out.

To be precise, this energy is limited to a range of no more than 50 meters around the monster, so the Wall of Sighs behind the Black Goat Cub becomes the main bearer.

When the humans who witnessed the explosion just stood up from the ground, they were frightened for the second time.

"Look! Our walls!"

When a certain Arasaka soldier pointed at the city wall not far away and shouted at his companions, the soldier whose ears were filled with rumbling sounds looked confused.

In his opinion, the Wall of Sighs was the same as usual. The blue-gray Wall of Sighs still stood, but there was a small mushroom cloud in the sky.

Just when he wanted to ask his companions why they were making such a fuss, the blue wall of sighs moved slightly.

Just a slight tremor, and then all the city walls within everyone's sight collapsed.

The plume of smoke that rose up immediately covered the sky and the sun. Even in the northernmost city, citizens there could still see the shocking row of smoke pillars.

"It's over! Our city walls have fallen!"

At this moment, I don't know how many people lamented like this, and even the three god generals couldn't help but feel sad.

As the creator of this spectacle, the peacock was speechless.

Just before he fired the last round of bullets, he collapsed to the ground.

When the monster revealed itself, a huge wave of air blew up everything around it, and the peacock that had fallen to the ground was also affected.

But he wasn't thrown away, but rolled out like a ball.

He didn't stop until he hit the pile of dead people lying on the ground.

Although the fall was extremely painful, it was not a bad thing for Peacock. Because of this fall, his connection with the black hole was forcibly severed.

"Peacock! Peacock!"

When the peacock heard someone calling him, his eyelids drooped, and the world turned dark.

"Peacock, peacock!

Uncle Peacock, Uncle Peacock!”

If it hadn't been for hearing those calls, the peacock didn't know how long it would have been floating in this endless darkness.

A young girl and an even younger girl shouted his name one after another, and they became anchors in the endless sea.

When the peacock finally heard the cry, he subconsciously reached out for this life-saving straw.

"I, where is this?"

Trying to open his heavy eyelids, Peacock looked confused.

At this moment, he was like a hangover drunk who had stayed up all night for three consecutive nights.

Now to say that his brain is a ball of mush is definitely a compliment. In fact, Peacock feels that the little brain in his head has probably been burned dry.

"Peacock, are you awake?"

"Uncle Peacock is awake! Uncle Peacock is awake!"

While the peacock was still in a daze, he saw two heads, one big and one small.

"Ah, Judy! Amber!"

Listening to the peacock calling their names, the green-haired Judy let out a sigh of relief.

Amber on the side definitely didn't understand what this meant, but that didn't stop her from giggling when she saw the peacock waking up.

"I-where am I?"

Only then did Peacock realize that he was actually being held in Judy's arms, and this place looked like a motel room.

Looking at the dirty sheets and the furniture that could fall apart at any time, Peacock guessed that this must be some remote place where birds don't poop.

"What? Great hero, you can't even remember what you did?"

Judy was obviously very happy to see that the peacock could still wake up, but this did not prevent her from making sarcastic comments now.

Gently loosening her arms around Peacock, Judy stuffed the pillow behind Peacock's waist, trying her best to make him lie down more comfortably.

"Uncle, you have been asleep for a long time.

This sister kept hugging you when you were sleeping, and I even saw her secretly kissing you many times!"

Seeing the peacock looking at her, Amber suddenly jumped over. The little girl leaned close to the peacock's ear and whispered to the peacock softly.

Amber thought she spoke very quietly, but unfortunately her voice was not very quiet, so the green-haired girl could hear her clearly.

"Peacock, this is to save you. So, brother, don't think too much."

This was the first time Judy spoke to Peacock in such a tone. She was so natural, which actually made Peacock blush.

Since other girls have said this, what else can he say?

Although I still don’t know why hugs and kisses are needed to save people, Peacock doesn’t have time to figure it out now.

"Judy, where are Takemura and Sandra?"

"Takemura was counting the supplies I brought, and Sandra went outside to see what else she could buy.

Amber, could you please call that uncle with the beard back?

Just say that Uncle Peacock is awake and wants to see Uncle Beard."

"Okay, Sister Judy, I'll be there right away."

The little girl is quite close to this green-haired sister whom she just met.

She opened her short legs, ran out quickly, and then brought Ou Jie Sang back.

"Mr. Peacock? You're really awake! This is really great!"

I just said that people like you will definitely be fine."

Looking at Peacock, who was still in low spirits but could already sit up, the former elite of the former wilderness showed a heartfelt smile.

Although he was a little excited, the footbath uncle was still not very good at expressing his feelings, so he kept saying things like "I'm very happy" over and over again.

"Takemura, where are we now? How long have I been unconscious, and where is Sandra?"

Listening to Peacock's series of questions, the smile on Zhucun's face became even wider.

He found that apart from being a little tired, Peacock had almost fully recovered, which made Takemura look at the green-haired girl with admiration.

"Peacock, do you remember? You used the mini Vulcan cannon to blow up that big monster."

"Sorry, Takemura, I was already delirious at that time, so I neither saw nor remember clearly what happened in the end."

"Peacock, you are really crazy.

Do you know, that big bleating monster actually exploded in the air after you beat it?"

"Really? Such an explosion must be terrible, right?"

"You should have passed out at that time, so you must not know the consequences of the explosion.

Because of the monster's self-exposure, several kilometers of the Wall of Sighs were razed to the ground. I'm not exaggerating at all, that section of the wall was really blown up.

You were the closest to the monster at the time, and the air wave blew you away a long way.

But you're lucky, except for a few bruises, you didn't even break a bone."

"Yeah, so I'm really lucky. So what happened after the monster exploded?"

"When I saw that the monster had destroyed several kilometers of city walls, I decided to rush out. So I found you first, and then we rushed out.

Peacock, you scared everyone when I got you into the cab.

At that time, you closed your eyes tightly, but your eyes were rolling rapidly under your eyelids. No matter how we called, you didn't respond, and the two girls cried loudly. "

"So that's it, then we finally rushed out through the gap that was destroyed by the explosion?"

"Strictly speaking, it's not a gap.

You don't know how powerful that big guy's self-destruction is - the above-ground structure of the Wall of Sighs was almost completely destroyed, so we escaped without much effort."

"So how far are we from Night City now?"

"After leaving Night City, we first got in touch with Judy, and then rushed to this place called Red Rock Town to meet Judy."

"It turns out this is Red Rock Town..."

Hearing this familiar place name again, Peacock suddenly remembered many past events.

Two months ago, he tracked a slave-trapping team from the far north to the Colorado Bay.

In order to catch up with the team and rescue the captured motorcycle brotherhood comrades, Peacock chased them for thousands of kilometers.

Because he ran out of fuel, Peacock had to switch to walking, and he lost track of the enemy. However, he still did not give up, and still followed the traces all the way to Red Rock Town.

When he finally arrived at this human settlement, Peacock not only had long ago abandoned his most beloved motorcycle, but he was also in rags, like the most destitute beggar.

At that time, Peacock had nothing of value except a gun and a knife at his waist.

In order to exchange for his stuttering, when he found out that Jack Wells, who was running a single gang, was in trouble, he volunteered himself and became that person's bodyguard.

This is how Peacock met Jack, they quickly became friends, and then he entered the Night City.

Because of these past events, Peacock has a deep impression on Hongshi Town.

He knew that it was 180 kilometers away from Night City, which meant that they had been out of the city for about three hours.

According to the plan discussed in advance, when Peacock and the others went to find Meredith's secret passage, Judy left the city through normal channels.

Her mission is not to help Peacock and the others kill, but to deliver necessary supplies outside the city and wait to be handed over to Peacock.

Only by obtaining these supplies can Peacock and the others continue their escape, so Judy's mission is extremely important.

When people in Night City hear about the Badlands, their demeanor changes.

In addition to the numerous bandits and mutant creatures there, another important reason is the lack of supplies in the Bad Land.
