In the hotel at the entrance of Songguomu Farm, candlelight flickered in the simply decorated guest room. Wu Wenzhou, who couldn't fall asleep, paced back and forth in the room.
Things were getting bigger and bigger...
At first, he just promised Yang He to provide some help to the mercenary to take Yang He's six-year-old daughter out of Zhao's house.
Whether it was for the favor of knowing him back then or for his own interests, he planned to help.
This didn't require much risk.
Although Yang He was his boss, this matter was not done through him, but by hired mercenaries.
After the incident, he could have lied and said he didn't know.
And if Yang He completely withdrew from Songguomu Farm, he would stay loyally and draw a clear line with Yang He, and he would be the royal merchant of Songguomu Farm in the future.
Although Yang He had persuaded him to go with him, they could still make a lot of money with the capital they had accumulated before, even without using the resources of the Pinewood Farm.
However, he declined without even thinking about it.
He was more eager for power and wealth than the illusory freedom.
He knew very well the difference between him and Yang He. That guy might have enjoyed enough, but he hadn't tasted the fascinating taste yet.
Maybe he would make the same choice as his former boss in the future, but that would have to be after he saved a lot of money.
Now he took the risk to leave, not only would all his previous efforts to please the master be wasted, but he would never be able to live the kind of life he dreamed of.
However, after seeing what happened in Hope Town and having a detailed conversation with the guy named Fang Chang, he was poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
You have to have a life to spend the money you make.
Maybe the boss is right.
The people here have gone crazy.
Therefore, he agreed to the conditions offered by the Alliance without hesitation and helped the Alliance soldiers enter the settlement. In exchange, the Alliance would send a plane to pick him and his family up from the plantation.
However, what he didn't expect was that things deviated from his idea from the beginning.
The Alliance people never thought of quietly investigating the "holy land" and the bishop hiding there, but were planning a more terrible and bold conspiracy.
What he didn't expect was that they were spotted by the spies of Captain Luo Feihui when they were in Hope Town, and the ambitious guy also got involved.
Now, no matter how stupid he was, he came to his senses.
He was fooled!
However, it can't be said that the Alliance deceived him, but these cunning guys didn't say all their plans.
After all, compared to carefully infiltrating, bribing relevant personnel to obtain intelligence, directly occupying the farm and arresting relevant personnel for slow interrogation is also an investigation.
And it's much more efficient.
More than that.
If the alliance controlled the entire farm, his family would be safe, and he would have fulfilled the exchange conditions he had set.
But——
Is it really that smooth?
He couldn't help but look at the darkness outside the window.
Isn't this night too quiet...
"Dong Dong——"
There was a knock on the door.
The sudden sound startled Wu Wenzhou, who was sitting restlessly, and he hurried to the door.
His hand was on the door handle, but he didn't open the door immediately. He asked cautiously first.
"Who?"
"..."
It was quiet outside the door, and no sound could be heard.
The knock on the door seemed to have gone far away, but he was sure that the person was still at the door because he didn't hear the footsteps leaving.
With a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, he changed his left hand to hold the door handle, reached into his pocket with his right hand, held the revolver in his pocket, and gently opened the safety.
Then, he gritted his teeth and opened the door.
Standing at the door was the hotel accountant, his acquaintance Li Liangchuan.
Seeing that familiar face, Wu Wenzhou breathed a sigh of relief, his pounding heart immediately calmed down, and the whole person seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden.
"... Damn, you knocked on the door without saying anything, you want to scare me to death!"
The man standing at the door did not speak, but just stood there like a sleepwalker, staring at him, closing his mouth and saying nothing.
Being frightened by the empty gaze, Wu Wenzhou swallowed nervously and called his name tentatively.
"... Liangchuan?"
The man still did not respond, and Tong Kong stood there lifelessly.
Finally feeling something was wrong in his heart, Wu Wenzhou retreated into the guest room, took out the revolver in his pocket, and pointed it at the man's head.
He roared with a ferocious look.
"What are you doing, you guy! You're playing tricks on me!"
The innkeeper seemed to finally have a little reaction to the threatening voice, or perhaps he was awakened by something else. He slowly moved his drooping eyes and looked at him who had retreated to the guest room.
Staring closely at the lifeless eyes, Wu Wenzhou swallowed his saliva and retreated to the wooden table by the window again. While aiming at the head, his index finger was already on the trigger.
From the cloudy eyes, he saw the desire for flesh and blood!
That was the look of a hungry beast when it saw its lone prey. He would never be wrong after walking in the wasteland for many years!
There's something wrong with this guy!
There's definitely something wrong!
"Don't come over here! I'm warning you! If you come over again, I'll shoot you--! Ahhhh!"
Venting out his anger and panic with a roar, he decisively pulled down his index finger on the trigger as he looked at his friend who was staggering towards him.
And more than once!
"Bang, bang!"
The explosion of gunpowder resounded in the room, and the bullet smashed his friend's head without any suspense, carrying a pool of blood plasma and brain matter to the corridor.
"Don't blame me... I warned you."
Staring at the body on the ground, Wu Wenzhou leaned on the table and panted hard, but before he could recover, the figures that appeared at the door made him change his face instantly.
One, two, three...
That was a group!
They were wearing waiter uniforms, like zombies, staring at him with eyes like the abyss, and then opened their mouths and let out a long roar like mud.
"Uh ah-"
Like a rushing mountain torrent.
They rushed over.
"Ah ah ah!" The terrified Wu Wenzhou fired wildly at the crowd rushing in with a revolver.
Along with the explosion of gunfire, the gun flame flickered in the half-closed window, like a candle swaying in the evening breeze.
After a while, a pool of scarlet blood splashed on the window, followed by a distorted face and bloody handprints, completely covering the warm light...
At the same time, in the center of the settlement.
The magnificent mansion belonging to the farmer was also shrouded in a bloody atmosphere at this moment.
"Aren't you looking for me?"
"I'm right in front of you now, why don't you say anything? Ha ha ha -"
Along with the sound, there was also a dry laugh, echoing in the dead silent hall with an indescribable weirdness.
Everyone immediately looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing on the empty stand on the second floor, with a turbid sight overlooking the people standing in the hall over the guardrail.
He seemed to have been waiting here.
Waiting for them to come over by themselves.
After a quick glance at the image on the VM, Fang Chang's eyes shrank slightly, and he looked at the man again, his eyes full of surprise.
Zhao Tiangan? !
No -
"... Luo Qian?"
Fang Chang stared at the man intently.
Luo Yu glanced at him quickly, his eyes seemed to ask "What are you talking about".
But Fang Chang did not answer.
Just now, he thought of a possibility...
Although it sounds a bit incredible, this can explain why the Holy Land is an absolutely safe place.
And from a scientific perspective without any religious color...
Because that thing is not on the "ground" at all.
It is precisely because it is not on the ground that anyone can theoretically listen to his gospel. And as long as he wants, he can appear anywhere.
Hearing the name, the man showed a weird smile on his face.
"Hehe... Have you reacted? It's faster than I thought."
"Ah, that's it..."
Fang Chang looked at him calmly, and his expression gradually became solemn.
Glancing at the expression on Fang Chang's face, he swallowed his saliva at the good name and asked nervously and excitedly.
"What are you talking about... Why can't I understand?!"
He could understand a few sentences of human language.
But he was still confused after listening for a long time.
Fang Chang gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"Mind interference device!"
"Mind... interference?!" Luo Yu looked at him unexpectedly, wondering why he suddenly mentioned that thing.
What does that thing have to do with the current situation?
Fang Chang stared at the man and said calmly.
"Remember, the characteristics of the mind interference device... The higher the mind, the more specific the information can be received, but the relatively less affected. The lower the mind, the less information can be received, but the relatively greater the impact."
His Adam's apple moved and continued.
"Excessive consumption of Naguo will make people enter a 'wandering' state... If it is that state, the mind is probably close to zero."
The real "good news" is probably not that pill!
It is a mind interference device working somewhere!
The real function of that pill is not to suppress addiction reaction at all!
It is something that amplifies the signal or assists in analyzing the signal!
Of course, this is just his guess.
But one thing is certain!
Since they arrived at the Pine Cone Farm-no, it should be before that, that guy has been eyeing them!
The man standing on the second-floor open stand had a fierce light in his eyes.
"Goliath, kill them!"
"Roar--!"
The moment the man's voice fell, the meat mountain sitting on the ground let out a deafening roar, and the windows of the entire building were shattered outwards by the terrifying sound waves.
"Ugh--"
Several players standing in the hall covered their ears. Although the pain was blocked, everyone's hearing almost failed.
In the spirit of catching the thief first, Haogou quickly raised the muzzle of the gun and shot the man standing on the empty stand with two shots.
A string of blood beads burst out from the man's abdomen and shoulders, and he fell backwards without a sound.
I didn't expect this BOSS to be so bad. Haogou stared in surprise, and then spat with a smile.
"Bah! Let you fucking show off!"
Fang Chang's voice came from the side.
"Don't let your guard down! That guy is just a puppet!"
Haogou: "What the hell?!"
"Fire!" Fang Chang clenched the rifle in his hand and aimed it straight at the big guy sitting in the pile of dead bodies.
I saw that the piece of meat sitting on the ground had stood up and rushed towards the players standing at the door of the hall with heavy steps.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The muzzle of the gun sprayed flames, and the shells thrown from the barrel fell to the ground with a clang.
Luo Yu pulled the trigger without hesitation, and a series of orange-yellow tracers swept towards the monster that was rushing over.
However, to his surprise, his bullets were like shooting into a huge mass of gel, and there was not even a ripple on the body that was like a giant wall!
"Fuck! What the hell is this?!"
The bullets were focused on the huge head of the monster, but there was still no reaction from the huge meat mountain.
The kinetic energy was completely absorbed!
Even in the face of the concentrated fire of ten rifles, the monster called Goliath still did not stop at all. The giant hand as big as a windmill slapped the people standing in front of the door, and a gust of wind was set off in the spacious hall.
"Ew!"
Seeing that the monster was about to rush in front of him, Xiao Yuzi, who was wearing the K-10 "Iron Wall" exoskeleton, drew out his combat knife and rushed forward with big strides.
The sharp blade pierced the monster's left chest.
However, surprisingly, blood did not gush out, as if the heart was not there at all!
The blade that stabbed in only touched fat!
"Boil——"
A short wail sounded in the communication channel.
The monster was like a train. It stopped for only a moment, and then it knocked Xiaoyu's exoskeleton-wearing fruiting body directly out, and continued to rush towards everyone without losing momentum.
However, Xiaoyu's fruiting body bought some time for everyone and avoided the whistling slap.
Raising his arm to block the flying broken tiles, Fang Chang pulled out the incendiary bomb inserted in the exoskeleton and smashed it hard at the monster called Goliath.
The flames exploded on the monster's body!
However, compared to its fat body, the burning flames were like a cluster of flames swaying on a lighter, which could not hurt it at all.
But——
Originally, he did not expect to use this thing to get rid of this monster.
While Goliath was roaring in pain, Fang Chang shouted loudly in the communication channel.
"Team C, D, evacuate the building!"
"Drone crew, prepare to fire!"
"Old White! Come and help us!"
"Ye Shi! Are you okay? If it doesn't work, just let him go. We're going to evacuate!"
Earlier, Ye Shi didn't get off the carriage, but stayed in the carriage and followed the coachman to the servants' dormitory to find the six-year-old girl on behalf of Luo Yu.
After all, Luo Yu had to command Xiao Yu's fruiting bodies. Only when he was near, those "little Xiao Yus" could exert their greatest combat power.
Ye Shi's answer was not heard in the communication channel.
But Old White's voice came quickly, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind.
"...Hold on! We are on our way and will be there soon!"
At the same time, the harsh broadcast tore through the silent night, and the dry and sharp laughter echoed over the manor.
"Hahaha..."
"It's useless."
"You can't escape!"
"Stay here!"
Goliath roared, and directly knocked down the wall connected to the front door of the villa. With a twisted face, he screamed at the players who fell into the front yard.
"Roar!"
The noisy air wave blew away the leaves and dust, and the C and D teams that withdrew from the villa fired at the monster alternately.
At the same time, the B team squatting in the flower bed and the A team that came back from the backyard also raised their rifles and focused their fire on the monster.
Goliath's movements paused for a moment, and there was a hint of pain in his angry roar. It can be seen that he is not immortal.
When he is injured, he will also feel pain!
At this moment, two flames with tail flames fell from the sky and accurately hit the monster's left and right shoulders.
The explosion of fire swallowed Goliath, and the deafening roar was also cut off.
There was a smell of burnt lake in the hot air.
When the dust of the explosion dissipated, a bloody mass of flesh stood at the door of the collapsed villa. It looked so miserable that it was hard to tell its original shape.
Pieces of black charcoal were scattered all over the ground, with gray smoke and heat waves floating. Those should be the fragments peeled off from it.
Looking at the steps and stone roads burning in silence, and the towering and motionless meat mountain, Luo Yu swallowed his saliva.
"Did it die..."
It seems -
No.
Look carefully, the fat body is still rising and falling evenly. Even though it was shattered by the missile, it still hasn't swallowed its last breath.
More than that!
The wound on its back had grown many worm-like strips of flesh, twisting and interlacing, stitching up the damaged parts at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This incredible recovery speed was a bit outrageous even for mutants.
Its legs had been repaired, and it suddenly began to retreat.
Seeing this, Fang Chang immediately shouted into the headset.
"Kuangfeng! Two more shots!"
A calm answer came from his ear.
"Got it."
As the voice fell, two flames passed through the night sky, and two missiles fell from the sky, hitting the monster that was repairing itself again!
One of the missiles directly penetrated the wound that was healing, and the tentacle-like pieces of flesh were entangled on the side of the missile, trying to throw the thing out of the body.
However, its reaction was obviously a step slower.
The flames of the explosion burst, easily tearing the pieces of flesh wrapped around the missile into pieces, and swallowed the monster again.
Even if the recovery speed is outrageous, it is still a carbon-based creature. If two missiles are not enough, just two more!
But this time, it is obviously enough.
The behemoth fell heavily to the ground and finally stopped moving.
Large chunks of black slurry gushed out from the holes all over its body, which was as thick as oil, blood, and fat.
The battle is over.
But the crowd did not cheer.
Everyone was very sober. They were standing in the center of the pine fruit farm at this moment, and there were at least three thousand-man teams outside.
There was such a big commotion in the boss's house, and the whole house was full of bullet holes and blood. Even if they had a thousand mouths, they probably couldn't explain it clearly.
The only one who could control the situation, Luo Feihui, was dead.
"Something is wrong..."
Retracting his gaze from the rockery-like corpse, Fang Chang glanced around vigilantly, and the muzzle of the gun cruised along the edge of the garden.
"Isn't it too quiet around here?"
If I remember correctly, there are at least two sentries and hundreds of soldiers along the way from the main gate of the manor to where they are now.
Even if only a few minutes have passed since the battle was triggered, it is not that the patrol teams and sentries on duty nearby are deaf and have no reaction at all.
He quickly glanced at the thermal imaging aerial photo on the VM. The huge corpse in the center of the screen was shaking with white light, and the bright spot in front of the villa was obviously them.
And farther away, a series of white spots have gathered near the manor, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.
This is not abnormal.
However, when he zoomed out and looked further away, he saw that the bright spots marking the soldiers were still moving along a fixed route, patrolling in an orderly manner...
Fang Chang suddenly realized something and shouted immediately.
"Kuangfeng! Use up all the ammunition!"
"Use all?"
As the two words came out, Kuangfeng seemed to react and fired all the remaining four "Dove" missiles on the drone at the open space outside the settlement without hesitation.
However, a strange scene happened.
After the four missiles were fired, they turned directly in the air and adjusted their direction to bombard the main entrance of the villa.
Looking at the flames turning in the air, Fang Chang's face changed wildly and he shouted loudly in the team voice channel.
"Rush into the villa!"
As soon as the voice fell, he rushed to the villa that had been evacuated before.
Almost at the moment when he stepped into the door, the flames of the explosion bloomed not far behind him, and the hot air wave pushed him directly into the door. His helmet hit the pillar and he almost fainted.
He was still lucky.
The two players were just one step late, and were swept into the boiling flames, and died on the spot under the supporting firepower of friendly forces.
The voice of Kuangfeng came from the communication channel.
"The drone was hijacked... Sorry! My-"
"It's not your fault... There are masters on the other side."
Looking back at the burning flames, Fang Chang, who sat up from the ground, took a breath and stood up with the butt of his gun.
He suddenly remembered the previous battle with the Torch Church in the East District of Qingquan City during the mission of transporting fuel rods.
Those guys were not many in number, but they were well-equipped and well-trained. If it weren't for the home advantage and the timely support of Brother Mosquito's aircraft, they would have had almost no chance of winning.
A ball of fire rose in the air.
After actively detecting the loss of control, the Seagull worth 3 million Cr triggered the self-destruction program and glided towards the preset safe haven coordinates.
3 million.
And it's Cr.
This time, the funds are really burning.
It is not only the wreckage of the seagulls that lights up the sky, but also the tracers rising upwards, interweaving into a firepower network in the air.
Looking at the night sky lit up by anti-aircraft fire outside the window, Fang Chang immediately felt something was wrong and shouted into the headset.
"Old White... what's the situation over there?"
The communication channel came with a hissing sound, and the noisy gunfire and wind sound showed the fierceness of the battle.
"We were driven away by anti-aircraft fire! We can't get close to the central area of the settlement... You have to hold on for a while!"
Although the flexible and maneuverable "Viper" was not shot down by several quadruple anti-aircraft guns, it could not smoothly switch to the vertical take-off and landing mode to slow down and land under the harassment of anti-aircraft fire.
"... There are people approaching outside!" Luo Yu, who was holding a rifle at the window, shouted nervously, "Zhao! It seems that there are quite a few!"
Almost at the same time, Old White's voice continued to come from the communication channel.
"A large number of targets are approaching you... Be careful! Those people feel something is wrong!"
"Prepare for battle!"
Fang Chang quickly moved closer to the window, placed his rifle on the windowsill, and waved to signal Teams A and B to go to the second floor.
The deployment of the defense was completed.
He breathed lightly and gritted his teeth and continued.
"About... how many people?"
Lao Bai said in a deep voice.
"I can't see clearly here, but if I'm not mistaken... the number is probably at least tens of thousands!"
Fang Chang was stunned.
"Tens of thousands?!"
Common sense and instinct told him that Lao Bai was probably wrong.
However, a positive answer came from the communication channel.
"Yes, tens of thousands is probably a bit conservative... the heads of the entire settlement are moving towards you!"
Fang Chang: "???"
I'm Chao? !
