When Feng regained his consciousness, all 2,135 people in Whole Base had already been killed by him. The base that had been massacred could be completely described as a river of blood. Feng still remembered the feeling of viscosity of the blood that permeated between his legs. At the same time, he also remembered that he, who had been turned into a bloody person, had vomited continuously in that sea of blood.
This was an unlucky organization. Seven years ago, it could still be considered as a small, powerful corporate power. When they discovered Feng and the diamond arms that were beyond the scope of biological science and technology, they did not hesitate to invest a large amount of wealth and materials to research Feng. However, they were destroyed after Feng woke up.
After killing everyone in Whole Base, Feng found himself in a desert. In the base, he saw some fragmented information, but it was enough for Feng to understand that he had already entered into an era similar to hell. The old era has become the main theme of the past, of resources and evolution and of this new era. In the fragment of the data, Feng also understood that the powers of this world were divided into five main domains, and this was a completely new world!
He traversed the desert on foot and arrived at a small town at the edge of it. In this period of time while he was crossing the desert, he discovered that he could switch between his normal arms and the hands of god. The key laid in the set of mysterious gene fragments in Feng's body. Feng could feel their existence. When necessary, he could switch the human genes in his hands into the god's genes.
It was not a clever lie, but so far no one had seen through it. After arriving at the small town, Feng lived there as a roaming mercenary for a while. Even without using Hand of God, Feng still possessed a base strength and speed that was far superior to ordinary people. Right in this little town, after Feng obtained the qualifications to be a LV 1 mercenary or a LV 1 hunter, he moved towards another city.
During that time, Feng had unrestrainedly indulged himself, smoking and drinking, sleeping with different women every day, and even smoked neuro-type drugs to numb himself. He could not find his way forward. To this era, he was like a person that jumped out from a rock. He had memories of the old era, but he was still living in a new era that made people feel despair.
At that time, Feng was crazy. He crazily carried out any mission, and only by wandering between life and death could he obtain a temporary peace. Feng thought that he would continue to be like this until he died under the claws of some metamorph, or perhaps on some woman's stomach. If possible, Feng hoped that would be the latter. But his arrival caused Feng's life to take a 180 turn.
He is Andre, artificial god No. 7. In the records of the test, he was the most powerful. Even with his old identity, no one dared to look down on Andre's rank of major general. In the new era, he stood at the top of the pyramid. Andre woke up before the other twelve people, he had already established his own power and was committed to searching for the other twelve.
However, Andre did not have that kind of intention. He wanted to find other artificial god s to absorb their god organs and genes to evolve into real gods!
Half a year after Feng destroyed the desert base, Andre appeared in the base and found traces of Feng waking up. He followed the tracks Feng left behind to find the small town at the edge of the desert. After finding out where Feng went, Andre made that small town become history. He'd killed everyone in the town, ordinary people and Adepts alike, and had fallen at the feet of this devilish man.
When Andre arrived at the city where Feng was hiding, he was hugging a woman sleeping.
Feng already could not remember how he escaped from the city. He only remembered that Andre had released his killing intent and told Feng that he was there without any concealment. Even though Feng did not know that he was Andre at the time, he could feel Andre's flames of hunger within his killing intent. He wanted to eat himself, this was the impression Andre left for him.
After escaping to the city, Feng still felt Andre hanging behind him. He used all of his methods but still could not shake off Andre, hence Feng eventually returned to the desert. This time he jumped recklessly into a patch of quicksand in the desert and offered to let a worm "eat" him. It was only through the double layers of obstruction created by the sand and giant bugs that Feng was able to cut off Andre's perception of him.
This was similar to the time when he was covered in soil that was soaked by the rain of radiation. Whether it was the mud that was filled with radiation or the sand that was being absorbed day after day, both of them had very chaotic energy activities. This made it impossible for any perception or equipment to search for objects or life under this layer of energy. After wandering around the desert for nearly half a month, Andre finally left helplessly.
During this period of time, nearly thirty bugs became Feng's temporary refuge and food. When Andre left, he hid himself for nearly half a month before returning to the surface. After that, Feng began his journey to escape.
He used all kinds of identities to conceal his existence. In order to not be treated as delicious food by Andre, Feng played the role of all kinds of lives. He was a wandering mercenary, a drunkard, and all sorts of other identities. It was this kind of life that allowed Feng to live it safe and sound for seven years.
Until he met Su half a year ago, when Su was chasing after his enemy and fell into his trap. Feng wanted to save her, but the people from Hall of Heroic Spirits were a step faster. When they invited Su to join them, Feng took the initiative to request to join them. After displaying a decent amount of strength, Feng and Su successfully arrived at the Asgard.
In this city that was like heaven, Feng finally settled down. Feng believed that it would not be so easy for Andre to find him, when one of the two largest organizations in the Mainland China had become his refuge.
Originally, Feng thought that after graduating from New barracks with just the right strength, he would be able to live a happy life with Su. Unexpectedly, just one month after entering the New barracks, Zero had already come. The aura coming from Su Yun's body was still very weak, but Feng could still recognize him in an instant.
That golden right eye was simply an eye-catching symbol. But what made Feng even more surprised was that Zero did not seem to know his identity.
It didn't matter if it was a loss of memories, or what Eva had said about covering up memories. It was undoubtedly a good thing for Feng that he did not realize that he was also zero among the thirteen artificial god s. However, Feng knew that the deity's right eye that was zero and the left eye of god that was number twelve were all things that Andre desired.
Because in one of the experiments, Feng had personally heard Professor Halson, who was in charge of the entire plan, say that when the God's right eye and the left eye of god met, the world would be reborn from the flames! These prophetic words were not difficult for Feng to deduce the power of a Eye of God. As for what the specific strength was, Feng was naturally not clear. What he did not expect was that after he had settled in the Asgard, he would actually meet his former companion!
If the meeting between Feng and Zero could be said to be fate, then meeting another companion in the Cossack Army base, Eva, in the short period of two months, could only be described as a prank of fate. But whether it was Feng or Eva, they all used a different name and their appearances also changed. As a result, Feng did not know Eva's current identity. After all, her God's Organs were not as obvious as the Zero's right eye.
Feng was sure that Eva had also seen through his identity. But since she did not say it, Feng was happy to continue acting the role of assaulting the swordsman until the day his identity was exposed.
His finger suddenly got hot, Feng regained his senses, but the cigarette was already burnt to nothingness, the remaining flame had burned his finger. Feng's hands were already no longer trembling. It was unknown if it was because of the shadow that descended from the massacre base back then. Now that he saw the bloody mud on the ground, Fen
g couldn't help but shiver.
What a coward! He mocked himself, at the same time, he threw away the tip of his cigarette, picked up his helmet and put it on again, then followed the arrowhead on the ground of Rest area to head towards the main road. The main road would lead directly to the experimental area Region, which had already become the lair of the Fusarium. Feng wanted to kill his way through by himself so that he could attract the attention of the majority of the bugs in the nest.
The current Feng was playing his role very seriously!
Not long after, the sounds of gunshots and the cries of Fusarium could be heard in the three-tier base. The sounds of gunfire echoed through the intricate tunnels. When Ling Yun and the others stepped into the insect nest filled with mucus, they saw that, other than the meat sacs that resembled giant eggs, there were no other Fusarium or Green Whirlwind present.
There were at least five thousand of these meat sacs that filled the entire experimental area Region. The meat sacs were shrinking regularly, as if they were living beings breathing. In fact, the meat sacs were filled with the larvae of the Fusarium, and when these worms came out from the meat sacs, it would increase the number of members in the Fusarium, this gigantic family. The meat sacs were close to each other. They were so numerous on the tunnels, in the culture tank, and even on the ceiling that it made one's hair stand on end.
Su Yun, Su and the rest, along with the rest of the thirty odd remaining biochemical army walked along the worm-filled passage. When the military boot stomped down, it was like a thick entomophile. It was so disgusting that even Su's face became extremely ugly.
At this time, a bug sac in front of the passage suddenly ruptured, and a translucent scythe larva crawled out with a low cry. With its short scythe forelimbs, it hooks pieces of a bug's bursa, which is both a protective membrane and a nutrient, into its mouth. After the larvae break out of the sac, the first thing they do is eat their own larva. In another 24 hours, they will complete their first evolution and become young Fusarium.
Fusarium only had a short breeding cycle of three weeks, and from larvae to adults only had a single day of evolution. This was also the reason why there were so many Fusarium.
Now, with each larva present, the rate of contraction of the rest of the bursa suddenly increased. Then, one by one, the larvae tore their way out of the sac. Immediately, the entomophile gushed out of the meat bag and left behind a floor, while the newborn larva desperately sucked up the meat bag and the entomophile, thinking that it had ingested enough nutrients from the evolution of the adult worm.
Seeing this situation, Ling Tian's face turned grim. The rest of the people did not look too good either. They finally knew why the Fusarium was so active during the hibernation period. It was because there were new members about to join, that the bugs acted as the protectors.
As the sound of flesh being torn rang out, the tunnel suddenly emitted "Sha Sha" sounds. Following that, a Fusarium appeared at the entrance of the tunnel. The eyes above his head immediately reflected the figures of Wu Qi and the others, the Fusarium screamed, as it waved its sharp forelimbs and quickly crawled towards them.
However, the Fusarium had only crawled out a hundred meters when its head suddenly exploded. As it fell to the ground, the sound of a sniper rifle could be heard.
Su Yun put down the Colt and shouted, "Let's go, the swarm of bugs is coming!"
When the larvae are born, under the control of biological instinct, the adults will inevitably return to protect them. At that time, Feng would no longer be of much use. Su and the others also understood, with a shout, they had already ran towards the direction of experimental area's exit. However, the ground beneath their feet was full of sticky entomophile. Not only did the group have to maintain their speed, they also had to pay attention to their balance, which was not easy. At this time, the number of Fusarium at the entrance increased, and the sound of them rubbing against each other was very scary.
A few of the living corpse shooter s fell down due to the fall of the entomophile, but they were immediately surrounded by the Fusarium that pounced on them from behind. The gunshot suddenly rang out, but it stopped very quickly. The Fusarium s' limbs were dancing in the air, and as a result, balls after balls of blood splattered everywhere, the living corpse was immediately dismembered and turned into food for the larvae.
While running, Eva shouted at the living corpse: "Stop them!"
Streams of data flashed through Gemini's electronic eyes, followed by a low howl coming from her mouth. In the next moment, a few of the butchers in the living corpse Army stopped. They turned around, picked up their gigantic weapons and roared as they pounced towards the bugs.
At once, a few butchers formed a blockade that blocked off the bugs like a dam. After they left the bugs behind, they could still hear the growls of the butcher and the shrieks of the bugs.
Eva on the other hand, had a pained look on his face. Although the butchers had stopped the bugs, they wouldn't be able to come back. This was undoubtedly a huge loss to Eva. Thus, she stared fiercely at Zero, and decided that in the future, she would double the losses she had suffered from Zero!
Chapter 248 - Assassins in Darkness (I)
In the underground two-tier base, in Area C1 of the warehouse area, gunfire and firelight constantly appeared.
In an abandoned warehouse, several containers were pushed to the front entrance as a temporary barrier. Relying on this simple but effective defense, Rankin and the rest used the windows of the warehouse to reach out the barrel of the gun and called living corpse, who was rushing towards the warehouse.
Amidst the intense gunfire, the bullets poured down from the direction of the warehouse and formed a metal current, charging towards the group of living corpse s that were rushing towards the warehouse. The battle continued for half an hour before the last living corpse fell under the impact of the bullets.
"F * ck!" Rankin cursed ruthlessly. He did not care about his image as he sat on the ground under the window.
After going through so many battles, Rankin's face was no longer as rosy as before, but instead, it was sickly white. Not only him, but the rest of the soldiers had also suffered from physical exhaustion. Even moving their fingers would cause them to tremble.
But they were all soldiers who had undergone strict training. After repelling this wave of living corpse, they all silently took out their troops from their portable apparatus s to nourish Su. This kind of special nutrition for the army, Su, was at least several times more than the amount of various nutrients that ordinary goods contained. At the same time, the smell was much worse. If it was said that the normal nutrition Su tasted the same as chewing wax, then the army's nutrition Su's taste was no different from the Fusarium's feces.
However, regardless of whether it was Rankin or the other soldiers, they did not frown as they swallowed all of Su's nutrients. This was because they knew that even though was a pain to eat, as long as they ate it, they would have a chance of survival.
It nourished Su. Besides the various nutrients, there was also a small amount of water, alleviating everyone's throats that felt like they were being roasted by fire. Rankin gulped down a few mouthfuls of saliva before using the wall to help himself up. He walked to the side of the Barbarian Mag and sat down, before asking: "Lad, how are you doing?"
"He won't die." Mag revealed a weak smile, and tied a piece of cloth around his thigh. The strip of cloth had been dyed red with blood. If the strip of cloth was unraveled, one would discover that Mag's leg had a hole the size of his bosom.
looked at the wound on his leg, and said fiercely: "Dammit, just who is trying to drag this daddy down?"
"Who else could it be, if not Zero, then it would be Antony and the others." Mag took a deep breath and said.
"It must be Antony!" Rankin slapped him hard on the thigh, "Ling'er and the rest are walking in front of us, there's no reason to turn back and make life difficult for us. So it can only be Antony, this despicable and sham
eless guy! "
"Captain, do we consider giving up this exam?" Mag whispered.
Although his voice was soft, it caught the attention of the other soldiers, causing them to look at Rankin. In these faces, Rankin saw the fear of death, as well as confusion for the future. They hadn't even passed two-tier base yet, but they had already lost close to half their manpower, and were about to run out of ammunition. If they kept going, God knows if anyone would survive.
"But if we give up, we'll have to live under the cover of cowardice for the rest of our lives!" Rankin said in a heavy voice.
"We know that too, but captain, sometimes you choose to give up. Isn't that also a form of courage?" Mag emphasized.
Rankin was speechless. In the end, he said: "Vote. If everyone chooses to go home, then I have nothing to say."
The result of the vote was obvious. Other than Rankin, everyone else expressed their wish to give up on this assessment. But in the end, it was still Rankin who made the decision. Thus, everyone looked at Rankin. Rankin looked at them, and said in a heavy voice in the end, "We will rest for ten minutes, and then, we will return home!"
He was not willing to give up just like that, and was not willing to let down his uncle who was supporting him. Even if he had to persevere, the soldiers would still follow, but the morale would definitely be low. A team without any morale was no different from courting death.
In a low, one-story house that was 450 m away to the southwest of the abandoned warehouse, the house that was used as an office space was already occupied by Antony and the rest. As they were following Rankin, they encountered a small episode where the butcher, who was supposed to follow Rankin and the rest, turned back midway and started to attack them crazily. This was because the blood of a higher ranked Adept had attracted the attention of this higher ranked living corpse. In the end, Antony and the rest had wiped this living corpse out.
