What makes us unique as humans can largely be summed up in one word: "culture."

[Part1·The long journey]
The Feather Master of the Eternal One turned into a puddle of flesh.
Bu Liuxing hugged the BOSS and slowly walked towards the exit of the cave.
There are too many questions in his heart, too many incredible mysteries——
——But these are no longer important, no longer so persistent, no longer so exhaustive to get to the bottom of things.
"I..."
"I..."
Since leaving the ship and landing, he has encountered powerful enemies three times and four times. He has hardly had a good sleep or any time to breathe. Gloria is like a whetstone, almost torturing Meteor to the point of mental collapse.
He won again and again and lost again and again.
When you win, you are crazy and ecstatic, and when you lose, you are heartbroken.
Some people try their best to live, some people are worse off than dead, and some people follow the wind and go away.
He was so tired that he could hardly speak a word. At the moment when the powerful enemy was killed - Gloria felt the same as Gloria. She was waiting at the waterside for the crying general to break through the fork in the cave and struggle out from the dark and lightless underwater vortex.
, this loneliness and loneliness almost drove him crazy.
"Don't worry, I'm with you." The good cat is holding an oxygen mask. When it sees the sun, it also has a lazy and listless posture - it is too far away from the physical body and is in a cage made of candy.
I was detained there for five whole days.
The tight string in his heart was broken, and there was no longer a powerful enemy that frightened him, no pressure of inspiration that suppressed mania, no chilling murderous intent, and the same thing - the warm and joyful sound of the castanets urging people to fight.
, and disappeared into this noisy city.
With his bare feet, he stepped on the solid moss, walked over the wet rocks on the tidal flat, and stepped onto the dry and hot sand.
——Time passes so slowly and so fast. After the tropical storm and rain, snow and hail leave the city, the sky is clear. The blood-red sunset approaching evening is like a half-fried egg, smudged in the mist of water vapor.
A red cloud appeared, like a cowboy's scarf, and bursts of hot smoke blew out.
The comfortable salty and humid monsoon winds in the coastal area blew away Meteor's hair and poured into his mouthpiece and nasal cavity, causing wheals and pimples to appear on his body. This was the physical body crying for help when he was exhausted mentally and physically.
"It's so beautiful..."
Meteor has no culture. Looking along the bay towards the city, I can't walk any further.
It's like all the salt in the body has drained away from the sweat, and the soul is shining out along with the blood.
"I still have a mission...and more..."
Meteor muttered in confusion, still remembering that he was going to Huacheng Bay to help Wood Plunk rescue the siege. There was also a magic pool waiting for him to destroy, as well as Fred Caesar's Horcrux, and the Nine Hells.
Wander.
"Little brother, you look like you need an oxygen mask more than me right now." The good cat shoved his life-support equipment on the meteor's face - asking the out-of-breath general to take a good breath.
Meteor took a deep breath of oxygen, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
BOSS continued: "Don't worry, don't worry, everything will be arranged."
Meteor took out the summons bell from his tattered pocket. It was the only way to communicate with his wife.
"Soldiers always travel between stations." BOSS raised his head and held Meteor's hand, "When the bell rings, the waiter will always follow closely."
Meteor has never taken the initiative to shake this bell.
Because he thought, when a man goes out to work, his family must feel at ease.
But the BOSS pushed his hand to ring the summons bell.
...
...
"We have to find a way to get this thing out." Qi Ji wanted to move the MK-28, and the temporary headquarters issued an order to take this thing to a safe place - the MK-28 was too close to its detonation site.
"Aren't you going to dismantle the bomb?!" A soldier from the scout team asked: "Commander, dismantle its air pressure gauge and altitude gauge? Is it okay to dismantle the conventional detonating powder?"
"The risk is too great..." Qi Ji was very calm: "There is no such person in the scout team. Have you ever handled a nuclear bomb? It came from more than seventy years ago. Who has such qualifications? Who has such experience?"
Everyone present didn't answer, but they more or less had the answer in their hearts - the only person closest to here who has the ability to handle thermonuclear bombs is Wood Plunk.
"Message from the Nine Realms Headquarters." Brother Hong Fan from the scout group took out his summons bell. It did not belong to the combat group, but his passenger bell: "There is news to decipher."
At the same time, the passengers and waiters of the Dragoon Regiment unanimously took out their personal summons bells.
These bells do not ring normally. The soldiers of Guangling Zhixi rarely wear bells when performing tasks. After putting on the robes of the regiment, putting on the carrying gear and wearing the regimental insignia, they have to bid farewell to their exploration career and go to protect the city.
For people here, ringtones often reveal their location and put them in crisis.
As a second-level preparation team, they came to Shambhala to carry out this rescue mission, but without exception, they all brought the summons bell with them.
Qi Ji and several corps brothers carefully carried the nuclear warhead, flattened it smoothly and landed on the paraglider cloth. They cut the parachute rope with their partners and prepared for the subsequent transportation mission.
"translate?"
The second group of observers immediately said: "General Crying has won!"
At the same time, three groups of observers said: "He is fine, BOSS is with him."
"Their sending speed is very slow." The companion who followed Qi Ji from the headquarters added: "General Crying has no strength. The boss is ringing the bell. It cannot send messages quickly and can only use a bell to deliver the message.
.”
At first, the thirty-five people present didn't say a word, didn't express emotion, and didn't cheer.
They maintained the greatest restraint, still remembered what they were going to do, and continued to complete the task in accordance with Mr. Gunsmith's execution standards. However, when a new bell rang, some people's will immediately collapsed, like a drowning person who fell into an emotional whirlpool.
After climbing down from the dangerous peak and completing his personal stage task, he completely collapsed on the ground.
"Win?! Win!" This guy is from the 3rd Scout Group of the Dragoon Regiment. He is thirty-five years old this year. He is an eldest sister who has just entered the cooling-off period of divorce. She has a son and a daughter. Her husband is also her waiter. After five years of
The summons bell at the Wang Council Director's Counter sent her new news.
She could hardly believe it, and could no longer control her emotions. This hot bell made her heart elated, allowing her to take a deep breath of oxygen from the fear of death from a nuclear explosion.
"Win! The crying general is not dead! Hey! Hey!"
"I didn't want to confess to him! I want to come here..."
"Come to this hellish place..."
"It's okay to give the child to him!"
She had already started talking nonsense, talking about the things she cared about and missed the most.
"I might not be able to go back, there's no other way..."
"I do not know what to do..."
"Dear God..."
Hot emotions are like an infectious disease, which is countless times more contagious than Vita Brand.
At the other end of the ocean, with the joint efforts of the director's counter and the head of the customer service department, the King Hunter found the people these warriors cared about - including Ah Hao's waiter, who was more than 20 years older than him, and who was also his teacher.
Mother's waiter.
If you want to cross a distance of more than 8,000 nautical miles and convey the news that everything is safe and sound, you can only use these bells.
The more mournful wails came from the two candidates of Group 6. They lost their leader and handed over Jason Megan to his comrades who were proficient in medical affairs from Group 7. Before they had time to collect the belongings and bones of the group leader, they were transferred to the special level.
The hazardous materials handling team came to face the nuclear bomb.
Originally, Hou Zhiyong could overcome these emotions. As the scout vanguard of the Sixth Group, he had a stronger fighting will than the leader and had to come up with countermeasures as soon as he encountered the enemy. However, on the way to transport Jason Megan, he hesitated.
, the team leader completed the self-destruction for him.
He was twenty-seven years old. As a member of the dragoons, the regiment took advantage of its marching ability and served full duty with the unknown.
The observer in the same group as him was a twenty-four-year-old named Nathan Cooper—a New Zealand boy with reddish brown hair.
They had always maintained a relatively calm state to deal with the difficulties, but as soon as the team leader's summons bell rang, the brothers' will also collapsed.
How should I reply?
How to face all this?
"My dear little kitten..." someone was murmuring and sobbing softly. Finally having some rest, he leaned on the rock platform and sat on the cold stone. He immediately stood up and looked at Commander Qi Ji worriedly.
The officer's side.
The one-ton nuclear bomb was carried by six people——
——They gritted their teeth and embarked on a long and difficult road again.
.......
.......
[Part2·Together]
"Can you hold on? There will be a replacement for the next section!"
As a disaster beast hybrid, Mr. Hong Fan has amazing arm strength and is also a vital role in the transportation team.
The umbrella rope was hung on Qi Ji's shoulder, causing two bright red scars. He could not bear the heavy burden.
"My leader is with me..."
Lady Luck never abandoned them, ever.
Without Gloria to lead the way, this strange team moved surprisingly steadily.
Their memories are very good, and they can recognize the way they came from just once. Perhaps their railway career frightened them, so they wandered from cave to cave, spending lonely nights in front of the bonfire, looking at the wall.
shadow, looking at the road map drawn with gray chalk and the simple portraits of relatives and loved ones.
We walked through a cave of more than 800 meters and an underground palace of more than 1,600 meters.
We walked 1.5 kilometers of complex corridors and 3.6 kilometers of mountain roads.
Walk on the gentle winding mountain road of Mount Everest and walk down the steep and complicated rocky beach.
Walking to the Queshan Street of the Dionysian Church, there are ten shipwrecked sailors waiting for them——
——Of course, there are also two little donkeys.
They stood ready, looking at the brothers and sisters with different surnames and races who came from the same place of departure and were raised in the same civilization.
MK-28 lay down on the cart and was led forward by two donkeys who were not very obedient.
By the time he got here, Qi Ji's waist was almost broken. He couldn't imagine that this was something he could accomplish——
——Just a year ago, he was a shady "vampire" in the attic of a fast food restaurant, living a regular life of sleeping day and night.
The moment the baton was handed over to someone else, he almost collapsed and his spirit collapsed along with it.
The commander sat down next to the breakwater and immediately began to cry loudly, without any hesitation, so suddenly.
He thought of his friends in Lingyun Group, his home more than 20,000 meters away, and the simple IDs he met on the Internet. Thinking of all this, it seemed that all the connections had become closer, and everything was related to
He is related.
It felt like I had been soaking in the dark sea for too long and finally could take a breath.
The setting sun is about to sink into the sea, emitting warm red clouds. On the southwest coast of the East Malaysia Peninsula port area, you can see the sunrise and sunset at the same time, you can see laughter and tears at the same time, you can foresee life and death at the same time - this
The road is too far, too far, too far, too far.
"Today is the 27th, Friday."
The phased mission has been completed, and Bruce, the Crow man's brother, withdrew from the headquarters. As a hybrid, he came to Queshan Street early to receive the nuclear bomb.
Coming to Qi Ji, Bruce talked about the war in Huacheng Bay.
"Fridays are always bad, the British like to execute people on Fridays, Jesus Christ died on Fridays. Cain killed Abel on Fridays, Apollo 13 exploded on Fridays. Everything sucks, my brother.
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Where are the magic pool and the Horcrux?" Qi Ji looked up and asked while wiping his tears.
Bruce took Qi Ji's arm and pulled the young and promising commander back into combat mode.
"There is good news and there is bad news. You don't have to ask which one to tell first, because they have to be told together."
"The war on the shallow sea beach has ended, but in the sewer system, Fred Caesar's four Horcruxes are still alive and kicking, and there is also a huge magic pool. The preliminary work of surveying the terrain has been completed, and a lot has been gained.
.”
"A strong reinforcement came from the southeastern war zone. It is also the substitute teacher who often instills combat knowledge in you - Su Ling came here because of BOSS."
"Mr. Wood Plaque used the origin magic again. After the phantom of the War King appeared, she held down the heads of the Horcrux father and the wildebeest knight and beat them up - but failed to kill them completely. From the original seed
Yuan Zhi seems to recognize these devil's creations, and there is a sense of brotherly sympathy."
"They fled deeper into the underground waterway and waited for the next order."
"The resurrection of Fred Caesar is only a matter of time. How to deal with this difficult devil has become a top priority."
After Bruce finished speaking, he pointed to the nuclear bomb on the donkey cart.
"You successfully transported it back. What Mr. Wood Placker means is that since there is a nuclear bomb, it must explode."
"Ah?" Qi Ji didn't understand.
Bruce then explained: "What is the safest bomb in the world? The gunsmith teacher said - is it a defused bomb? Is it gunpowder soaked in water? Is it a flammable and flammable bomb with the fuse and explosives properly separated and kept?
Explosive item?”
"No, the truly safe bomb is the bomb after the explosion."
"Friday is unfortunate, terrible, and the saddest day." Brother Bruce sighed: "But the weekend is coming soon, and the Sabbath is coming too."
.......
.......
Next to Si Yaoju Road in Huacheng Bay, a temporary military station was set up.
Teacher Su Ling, who has just arrived at the scene, is verifying the effect of the origin magic——
——The phantom of the War King only lasted for twenty-six minutes. She came to the material plane from Pandemaninan. The wildebeest knight and the father of the Horcrux were no match for this terrifying monster at all. They were beaten up by the black horse knight.
He crawled around and rolled back into the sewer.
She wanted to confirm a fact with Woodpluck again.
"Can you really be resurrected on Saturday?"
Wood was sitting in the rest area of the military station, sipping tea, trying to regain his energy and prepare for the early morning blasting mission.
"Liar is a puppy."
Su Ling shrugged in vain, since she was not the one holding the nuclear bomb and jumping into the magic pool anyway.
Yes - you heard it right, Woodpluck is ready to take the MK-28 into the magic pool and go straight to the Yellow Dragon.
As for Woodpluck's reputation in Shambhala, is he the chosen one of the fertility god Amun or the goddess Io? On this special Sabbath day, Saturday, he has the power of true immortality?
Su Ling didn't know or understand these things. They were completely outside her cognitive realm.
At this time, Ms. Duran, who was also relaxing in the lounge, burped.
She had turned into a puddle of mud. Charlie Knight had almost drained her of her mental energy. She was in the same state as when she first arrived at East Malaysia Port. She made strange noises of unknown meaning and seemed to have swallowed several tuna fish.
, half dead.
At this time, the sun had just begun to set——
——Flaviya has been following Teacher Su Ling, nervously listening to the two Morpho Butterflies analyzing the current situation. In [Phoenix]'s system vision, a symbol suddenly popped up on its forehead.
[EXP 100]
[Kill count 1]
"What happened?" Flavia was very confused. She obviously didn't do anything, so why did she suddenly increase the number of enemies she killed?
Maybe Gloria who turned into a bird biscuit can answer this question.
On the other side, Jason Megan was brought to the frontline military station by soldiers from the scout team, ready to evacuate at any time.
In the medical area, Katyusha hugged her good husband and cried loudly.
"Sir! Sir! I thought you were going to die..."
"Ohh Ohh ohh!"
Her cries were like air raid sirens.
Jason's limbs haven't grown back yet. Too much of his essence has been taken away by the incarnation butterfly, and his life is still hanging by a thread.
He is very rational, yet very desperate, with little will to survive. His deformed torso is wrapped in a thick and warm blanket.
"Katyusha..."
"If I hadn't..."
"Didn't make it through..."
"I..."
"I hope you..."
Katyusha cried more and more and blamed.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What are you talking about?!"
"You are not allowed to speak!"
Jason couldn't fight the illusion of death inside him.
"It's just... my heart is too heavy, I can't bear it... I... I can't win it..."
"Katyusha..."
"No no no! No no no no!" The waiter covered his ears and didn't even bother to wipe his nose: "I won't listen!"
Jason whispered: "Are you willing to be a widow for...for me..."
The wedding of the two has not yet been completed, and the agreement to stay together for a lifetime seems to be over before it has even begun.
Jason: "Don't look at handsome guys...Don't look at other men..."
"Oh my god! You're starting to talk nonsense..." Katyusha covered her ears, but she could still read the lip language.
Jason: "Promise me..."
Katyusha: "Where's the doctor! Where's the doctor!"
Jason was too weak to speak: "Don't drool while staring at the male model on the cover of a fitness magazine..."
Katyusha: "My good gentleman is insane! What is he talking about?"
There was only the sound of popcorn being chewed.
Teacher Su Ling held a bag of dried corn kernels and asked Mr. Wood to touch it.
Then bright sparks burst out of the bowl, and there was a crackling explosion——
——She threw up the snack and dropped it between her lips and teeth.
"Wonderful."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! ...
...
The Nine Hells Evil God Lamashtu was not surprised at all by the child's failure——
——Frett Caesar once again failed to live up to her expectations and rolled back to the prison from the material plane in embarrassment.
"I've given you enough chances, poor little bug"
This evil god was condescending, looking down at the deformed child in front of him with his huge deformed beast body.
Fred Caesar has returned to his miserable and hateful disabled form, and all his powers come from the evil god.
"Mother! Mother! Please! Please..."
"Give me another chance! Let me return to the material plane! Transform me! Transform me!"
"I will definitely kill all these unscrupulous bastards when I go back! I will take their most precious pieces of meat and offer them to you!"
The specific image of Lamashtu is difficult to describe. She has three heads, a lion on her left shoulder and a bird on her right shoulder.
Her belly was like a piece of gray and swollen donkey skin, each hand was a vicious two-headed snake, and there were apostle hounds hanging on her chest. She was suckling these children.
"You must be punished! You must be punished!" The blood-red skull between the lion's head and the bird's head screamed.
Countless dead souls poured in from all around the funnel-shaped ramp of the hell world. Their limbs were in dislocation, and most of them were strange evil spirits who had been tortured and lost consciousness. When they dug out the blood eggs from their stomachs, they had sharp teeth and sharp mouths.
The red baby breaks open the egg shell - this is also a trophy collected from the material plane by Lamashtu as a vicious banshee who mutilated babies.
These infants had no eyes, ears, noses, and empty mouths. After receiving instructions from the Evil God and the Demon Mother, they immediately pounced on the deformed spirit body of Fred Caesar and began to feast on flesh and blood.
Fred suffered the pain of being devoured and almost went crazy with pain. What he saw before him was the sight of the evil spirit resentful baby eating his flesh and drinking his blood. He was so frightened that his spirit body split open and his head was split into two parts on the spot.
Lamashtu only felt happy in his heart——
——Since the last time, a strange spirit came to the prison world and beat her to pieces, almost leaving her soul. This bad breath has never had a chance to come out.
After finally seizing the opportunity for Fred Caesar to return to the prison world, he must squeeze this soft persimmon to vent his anger!
A few hours later, Fred's consciousness almost completely dissipated, and the evil god and demon mother barely spared his life.
When the two demons are about to form a kinship again and sign a flesh-and-blood contract——
——The dark bombs fell rapidly along the funnel pit in the prison world!
Woodpluck hugged MK-28 tightly, with an innocent and healthy smile on his face, followed by the loyal Horcrux No. 2.
The son of the giant was completely panicked. In the strange spiritual world with unbalanced gravity, he could not catch up with the self-destructive desperado in front of him.
The wildebeest rider was left far behind, and the wildebeest's hooves emitted blue fire and could not catch up with the nuclear bomb.
The scary mother was standing still, squatting next to the rotten and smelly demonic pool of flesh and blood, scratching her head. She was followed by three or four baby nocturnal beasts that had just hatched from the breeding pool - this monster beast in the disguise of a black-robed nun.
The mother didn't know what happened, she only knew that a madman rushed into the magic pool carrying a strange "black stick".
The last fat brother, who looks like a butcher with numb steel nails, has just walked out of the corpse suture room, holding two sets of elemental materials for otherworldly monsters in his arms. He has half finished the invention and is ready to call it a day.
And the master of their destiny, Fred Caesar, let out a shrill scream. When he recognized what was in his father's arms, he was frightened and fell into 100% despair!
A ball of pure light exploded in the center of the prison crater, and its round sphere expanded rapidly, swallowing everything.
