Lord of War

Chapter 754 Pursuit

East of New Rome, there is a steep mountain area. The mountains here are undulating. The low one is only 200 meters high, the high one can reach thousands, and a peak in the east is more than 1,700 meters high. The peaks are pointed and stabbed into the sky like a sharp blade. Looking at it from afar, it is almost connected with the dense radiation clouds on that day, with endless bleakness.

That mountain is known as the peak of doomsday.

After the peak of doomsday is a barren forest with towering ancient trees. However, unlike the primitive forest of the old times, the ancient tree lines here are twisted and look like a twisted face on the tree. They are distributed disorderly, turning this forest into a natural maze. It's winter, and the whole forest is covered with a layer of white frost, and even the low shrubs press the radiant snow.

But if someone underestimates these shrubs, he is obviously wrong. In this era of the evolution of everything, ancient trees and shrubs are no longer as harmless as before. Even the grass and trees in this forest cannot be despised. Some scholars believe that today's forests already have something similar to cluster will. If you dig the soil of the forest, people will find that in the depths of the earth, the roots of plants are almost interconnected.

This state is like the online mode of the intelligent brain cardinal array, which enables the plants in the forest to share each other's feelings and promote the emergence of cluster will.

Therefore, the whole forest is like a huge monster. They lie dormant quietly while quietly preying.

This forest is also known as the black forest because both ancient trees and shrubs are dark brown.

After the black forest, there is a city ruin of the old era. Now it is dilapidated, but you can still roughly see the outline of the city. Most of the dense buildings and high-rise buildings have been demolished. Either on the day of the catastrophe, or it has collapsed after years of erosion. Many buildings are broken, and ** is a complex space like a honeycomb in the building.

Occasionally, some strange figures can be seen moving in buildings. High-rise buildings are no longer owned by human beings, and they have been occupied by some new era life.

The road is broken and broken. They barely connect to the city, but this transportation network has already collapsed.

There is a piece of ground in the east that has already collapsed, revealing the track of the subway below. Under the cover of large pieces of gravel, a subway car was exposed. The carriage is closed, and a dead body can be seen lying inside through the window. It was a boy's body. The water of the body had completely disappeared, but time fixed the frightened expression on the boy's face forever.

On the other side of the city, there is a reinforced bridge connecting the outside world. The bridge has been broken from the middle, and the fracture surface has traces of high temperature combustion, and it is not known that it has suffered the whole damage. The broken bridge turned the city into a lonely city.

It can be said that the whole vast eastern land is basically no man's land, and only some mutiny beasts will appear here.

For example, this horned eagle is now flying over the dark forest.

The horned eagle is a close relative of the vulture and is basically the same as their relatives. It's just that the horned eagle has a unicorn on its head, like the pointed horn of the legendary unicorn, but now it grows on an eagle, which is also the origin of the name of the horned eagle. The horned eagle is a mutant creature. In order to adapt to the environment of the new era, its body is much larger than the vulture, and its wings are up to five meters long.

Its claws are strong and powerful, which can easily catch tons of prey and tear off the extremely tough old bark. But its biggest weapon is actually the one-horn on its head, which is actually not long and less than ten centimeters. But its roots are as thick as a child's fist, and although the top is a sharp cone, if you look closer, you will find that it is not sharp.

The tip is actually a round and convex structure, composed of three pieces of bone. This makes the unicorn not easy to break, while the thick roots are more conducive to exerting strength. However, the attack method of this unicorn is a little similar to the tail needle of a wasp. It shoots the unicorn through a jet organ on the forehead of the horned eagle. The instantaneous kinetic energy is comparable to a sniper bomb and can easily penetrate the armor, thus leaving a fatal injury on the prey.

The horned eagle hovered in the sky. Not long ago, there was a heavy snowfall, and the whole earth and forest were white. However, the eyesight of the horned eagle has been strengthened digitally. They can capture the slightest changes on the ground, and no prey can escape its eyes. If there is prey.

Winter is the most food-poor season. Larger muters will spend this season in the form of hibernation. They will eat desperately in autumn to increase weight and fat, and then fight the cold winter at the cost of burning their own fat during hibernation. I have to say that some instincts left from the old days are quite useful.

Unfortunately, the horned eagle does not know this skill, so it can only come out to hunt when the next snow does not come, but such actions are not always fruitful. Most of the time, they return empty-handed, so many eagles can't survive the winter. In order to reproduce, this species usually enter * in summer and give birth in autumn. Then in case food cannot be found in winter, their bodies can also become food for their offspring after death.

After all, horned eagles are scavengers like vultures. Through this, they ensure that their ethnic groups can continue to thrive.

After flying through most of the forest, the horned eagle finally found a body in the southwest corner of the forest. That's a man's body, lying on the ground with his back to the sky. It seemed that he had been dead for a long time, but the horned eagle was not in a hurry to fly down. It rotated in the sky to observe the body. In this year of great evolution of life, even animals have evolved a lot of wisdom.

From the sky, this is a tall man. The body hasn't grown corpse spots yet. It should have just died. A series of footprints were left on the snow behind him, indicating that he tried to cross the forest, but unfortunately died halfway. A backpack was thrown next to the man, and some food cans fell out of it.

After hovering for ten minutes, the horned eagle was basically sure that the man was dead. Under its sharp eyes, the man's body did not move at all for ten minutes. No one can lie still in the radiation snow for ten minutes, except the body. The rich experience of the horned eagle made it make this judgment. It shouted happily, closed its wings and rushed to the body.

However, when it was one or two meters away from the body, it instinctively felt dangerous. Then he saw the body suddenly reach out and catch it. The horned eagle was shocked and ready to fly. But an invisible energy field emerged from the palm of the body's hand, firmly tightened it and dragged it down.

The horned eagle screamed and flapped its wings repeatedly, but could not stop itself from sinking to the ground. Finally, it shouted desperately and lowered its head to spewing a horn on its forehead, hoping to get a chance to escape. However, the unicorn, which is comparable to the sniper's kinetic energy, was easily held between the palm of the other hand of the body and then casually threw it into the snow. At this time, the body completely turned over and showed a serious face.

Finally, the horned eagle fell. The man held its claws in one hand, turned out a dagger with the other hand, and instantly plunged into its abdomen and tore it up. The horned eagle mourned, blood and intestines flowed out of the wound, and it finally lost all its strength.

Half an hour later, it plucked its wings and turned into a big turkey for a man to string on a branch and bake it on the fire.

Looking at the horned eagle gradually roasted into golden yellow on the fire, Sine's expression was very calm. However, his experience has nothing to do with calmness in the past few days. Since escaping from Rome, Sine has been on the run for the past few days. The man hiding in Sauron's palace also followed suit. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill Signe, but he always forced Signe to flee to the east.

That man is terrible, and Sinie has used all the methods he knows. But whether it is a frontal attack or a sneak attack, the man can't stop even for a moment. In such an escape, the food brought by Sine had already been eaten up, and he could only slaughter some mutaic beasts for food on the road. At the most stressful time, he could only eat raw.

But even so, due to winter, there is less and less food. Sometimes Sine even needs to dig deep into the ground to occasionally find a nest of snow rabbits that are hibernating. A big eagle is a very precious food. Sine decided to roast it and eat half of it in one go. The stored energy should be enough for him for three days.

Then cut the remaining eagle meat into strips and take it away with ice and snow. As for the radiation in the snow, it is not under Seine's consideration at all. Even if you eat a mouthful of radiation snow, it has nothing to do with a high-level person like him.

Soon, the horned eagle was cooked. The golden barbecue exudes an attractive aroma of meat. Sine tore off a piece of oily eagle meat and put it in his mouth, and then crushed the eagle meat with his two rows of teeth. The eagle meat smells fragrant, but the muscle fiber of the eagle is very rough, so it doesn't taste good. But it can bring heat and nutrients, so Signe has nothing to ask for.

After all, he is now on the run, not the treatment of a regiment leader in Rome.

Just eating an eagle's leg, Sine's heart moved. He sighed, and before he even had time to pack up, he saw a purple-black line from a distance. Then the light flashed, which seemed to be a slow disease. Sine rushed directly to the ground, and the light passed his back, passing through the ancient trees one after another, and finally the flying light obliquely sank into the top of a hill in the distance before disappearing.

Then, countless ancient trees in the forest fell down and sounded a roar. For the hill where the light sank, the mountain was misplaced and slipped, turning into tons of gravel rolling all the way to the ground, raising a piece of smoke mixed with stone dust and snow powder.

Signe stood up, frowned, and looked at Gaia approaching in the distance. The silver-haired man came slowly. In fact, he has maintained such a speed. Fast, not slow, but unstoppable!

When he came to Sine, he finally stood still. This was the first time that Gaia had stopped since he chased Sine. Then his eyes fell on the barbecue in Signe's hand, and the latter was surprised: "Would you like some?"

"If you don't mind." Gaia smiled.

Signe casually tore off an eagle's leg and threw it to him. Gaia took it, put down his sword, sat down like a stump, and ate it slowly. Sine was also rude. He sat on the stone on the other side and continued to destroy the barbecue that had just been eaten. This scene is very strange, but no one speaks and eats their own food. After eating all an eagle leg, Gaia clapped his hands. Even if he had just held a greasy eagle leg, his fingers were still clean, as if the oil could not leave any traces on it.

Signe, on the contrary, made his hands and mouth full of oil stains, which made Gaia frown slightly. Then Sine tore off the leftover barbecue and put it on the snow. The low temperature of the snow and the temperature of the barbecue itself commensed, giving rise to bursts of white smoke. When Signe patted the snow powder again, the barbecue had been frozen, which could maintain the freshness for a few days.

Seeing Signe put the meat in the bag, Gaia smiled and said, "It seems that you can escape from my hands?"

"Why not?" Sine asked back.

"Confidence is a good thing, but if you are too confident, you are arrogant." Gaia stretched out a finger and said, "For the sake of the barbecue you just invited me to have a barbecue, I'll ask you again."

"Think about it. It's a good choice to be my companion."

Signe didn't even think about it and said lightly, "I refuse."

"What a stubborn guy." Gaia didn't seem to be surprised. He held the overgrout sword and said, "Well, I'll give you another discount." It is also the last offer. I will give you enough time to prepare. As long as you can block me for a minute, I will stay here for three days. You can go anywhere in these three days.

"You are so generous." Sine Road.

Gaia nodded and said, "This is a thank you for your barbecue. I'm not used to accepting other people's feelings, especially a dying guy."

"So you won't attack Luo until I'm ready?"

"Of course."

Signe suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you so much."

He stretched out his hand and wrapped a disinfectant gauze around his right index finger. Sine removed the gauze and had a slight wound on his finger. He squeezed the wound with his thumb, opened it with his nails, and then began to bleed from the wound.

Gaia looked at him with great interest, but saw that the blood dripping from his fingers rolled into the ground and dispersed. Instead, he desperately absorbed the nearby snow powder and formed a squirming snowball. After the snowball grew to the size of a fist, it began to be fixed from a soft form, and the surface was coated with a layer of metal luster. Then a row of sharp limbs popped out from both sides and propped up the body like a spider.

An eyeball turned up in the shape of the back armor, and the eyes were covered with blood, like the eyeballs of a polar creature. Then the front end cracked a seam, and as soon as the seam was opened, two rows of staggered sharp teeth emerged. These little monsters opened their mouths and hit each other with sharp teeth, making bursts of metal sounds.

"What is this?" Gaia asked.

"I call them biters. Their oral structure is similar to piranhas and can emit a huge bite force. And their favorite thing is to bite everything they see... including you. Sine said lightly.

"Oh, that's interesting. Let's start." Gaia will reach out and hold the hilt of his sword.

"No, it's not ready yet." Sine stretched out her hand and said, "I'm not ready yet."

"Wow, I can't see that you are still a greedy guy."

"Greedy?" Sine smiled and said, "I don't think so, but since you gave me such a good discount, wouldn't it be a pity not to take advantage of it? Of course, you can go back on your word.

"There is no word "repentance" in my dictionary. It doesn't matter. You can be ready. I also want to see what kind of biological corps can you create as a creator? Gaia even took two steps back to show his sincerity.

"Then I won't be polite."

Next, some strange creatures were created in the hands of Signe. His ability is somewhat similar to Dr. Curd's Z substance, but Dr. Curd's Z substance directly forms biological weapons with blood, while Signe combines blood with substances in the nearby environment to form a biological weapon.

His blood seems to be able to combine with any substance. In addition to the initial bite-eater, Sine has created several biological weapons. Combined with nearby rocks, humanoid weapons like stone puppets appear; when combined with ancient trees, the trees keep shaking, and then the branches and leaves fall off and the bark crack. An ancient tree guard with a wooden shield came out of it.

There are even some nanoweapons as thin as dust.

Looking at the strange bio legion in front of him, Gaia finally lost her smile. After making the last biological weapon, Sine was so tired that he was really panting and his face turned much pale. But he smiled reluctantly and said, "Now we can start."

"That's really great. I happen to have no patience." Gaia said coldly, clenched the hilt of the sword, and then looked coldly at the biological army pouring towards him.

The long sword came out of its sheath, cut out a purple-black light across the world and fell into the biological army, and immediately harvested a large number of biological weapons. But there are too many biological weapons. When they charge together, the whole black forest trembles. And Gaia's figure was thus submerged in countless creatures.

The battle ended quickly, and after 1 minute and 15 seconds, Gaia put away the sword. At his feet lay a large body of biological weapons, but Sine had long disappeared, only nailed a piece of rag torn from his clothes on the ground, with the words "Remember your promise" written on it. Gaia smiled, and the scabbard was on the cloth, which immediately exploded into pieces.

He closed his eyes and stood with his sword, like a statue.

It was not until three days later that Gaia opened her eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, he changed from a statue to a person, and the change of breath was full of drama. Unfortunately, no one sees it, otherwise it will be regarded as a miracle.

Gaia looked around, and the bodies of biological weapons had been submerged in a piece of radiation snow. Even his head and shoulders are covered with snow powder. It seems that there has been a snow in the past two days. The snow covered Signe's footprints and the wind blew away his smell. But it doesn't matter. Gaia can feel his existence. No matter how long he leaves and how far he goes, he will always die under his sword.

Feet leaned out of the snowdrift, and Gaia began to walk forward. Each pace is as accurate as the same, and at a constant speed, Gaia walked to the east of the black forest.
