Abyss Express

Chapter 571 Act.1 Lessing·Lessing

Foreword:

Genius can only be ignited by genius.

——Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

In the wind and snow, a tall figure stood in front of the signal station where the hunting group lived.

That was Andro, who was wearing an electronic positioning bracelet. He was once the war gang leader of the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult and an "ungrateful" shameless traitor.

He first betrayed the camp of Homo sapiens, and then betrayed his brothers in the warband. The word betrayal ran through the life of this strong man.

Destiny is like a fast-paced and tense fighting game that never leaves Andro extra time to think. There is often only a moment of choice. Once the choice is made, it is never possible to look back.

He didn't understand why he still had to send a team to the Elf Holy Land during the hunting ban period. Perhaps it would be safer to listen to the priest and stay in the cage. After all, he had been running away for most of his life, and finding a place to stay was his life. the ultimate dream.

The place where he lived since he was a child could not give him a sense of security, so he became a fierce and aggressive warrior.

Hedland's prison life also came to an end, so he picked up the old business again and could not adapt to today's society.

He likes games, fast food, and soft pornographic advertisements. He likes stories that can be understood at a glance. If he could come to the hot spring market earlier, maybe he could have a happy youth.

But time will not go back, there is no if.

What Andro didn't know was that after the death of St. Josh Joris, the interrogator at the military station, Ms. Havana, regarded the four brothers as a thorn in the flesh--she wanted to send them to a settlement during the hunting season. into the mouths of devils and goblins.

This interrogator was so ruthless that just because the cannibal devil in the town died, he wanted the criminals who robbed the medical clinic to bury her with her spiritual totem.

This local is very familiar with the ecology and landforms near the Elf Holy Land. The rift valley mountains around the Elf Holy Land will drop to minus 20 degrees, and the geological exploration team has a lot of equipment to transport back to Saladin. These cleanup tasks were left to a few criminals in the cell.

St. Josh's death was unclear, and Havana was holding back her anger. The psychiatrist's cooking skills were extraordinary, and she would no longer be able to eat his food. This made her lose her mind and wanted to kill these people with her own hands. Criminals, continue to kill people for meat, and they must not be allowed to return to the hot spring market alive.

This is just a small thing in Havana's eyes——

——In the hunting group, pathfinders disappear every month. It is not strange for a few strangers with unknown origins to die.

This kind of hatred made her forget her mission, made her forget about her work in the military station, and even gave up the opportunity for career promotion in the spring. She believed that she could accomplish this without leaving any trace, and she could do it. Beautiful.

On January 27, the transport team arrived at the No. 1 signal tower in Spinach Heights. There is a straight-line distance of 86 kilometers from Saladin Town. But to go back, you have to detour 465 kilometers along winding mountain roads and caves. Without reliable transportation, it is a dead end for explorers.

Havana is the commander of the transport team, with three experienced pathfinders from the hunting group as guides, two biologists and four assistants, an electrical engineer, a road construction worker, and an experienced first aid specialist. Caregivers, thirteen exploration team warehouse workers with different responsibilities.

Plus wolf brothers Oscar and Jamie, their father and daughter, and Jiang Xueming. Finally there are Big B, Ajie, Schopenhauer and Andro.

There were thirty people in total, two trucks and an ice-breaking and snow-removing engineering vehicle. After four days of travel, everyone finally arrived at the first station.

When Jiang Xueming came to Spinach Highland, he took a quick look and saw layers of leafy giant fossil trees in the deep rift valley. After artificial transformation, the spinach-like stone mountain flew over the iron frame steel. Liang created living units and scientific research platforms. This is the origin of the name Spinach Highland.

Ms. Havana assigned work tasks to everyone, and the work assigned to the criminals was the most painful and tiring open-air work.

Father and daughter Jiang Xueming and Jamie worked together with Brother Lang to sort out the records in the geographical and hydrological database of the settlement. They wanted to take away all the documents and hard drives accumulated by the exploration team this year. The four members of the war gang were Braving the wind and snow in the bitter cold, he climbed the steel wire on the tower to maintain the fragile and fragile photovoltaic system.

After the day's work, everyone gathered in the cafeteria to eat. Workers in different fields were divided into different small groups, all with their heads lowered and whispering in mysterious postures.

Jiang Xueming found information about the Elf Holy Land in the hunting group, and it was really not an easy task to find a suitable Elf for little sister Benny. The situation in the Elf Holy Land is very complicated. Winter is the least suitable time to go into the mountains to search for spirits. The cold will make these lively fairies hide in the soil and hibernate in caves.

Because they can't find food, all kinds of disaster beasts will leave the Elf Holy Land and run to nearby human settlements in search of heat sources and food.

This time Xueming followed the transportation team into the mountains, just to explore the way and understand the basic ecology around the Elf Holy Land, and then make plans during the melting period.

"Brother Flathead, you eat this, you eat this." Big B at the next table came to Xueming's table and stuffed the chicken legs he had received into Xueming's bowl.

As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Xueming put the chicken legs into little sister Benny's bowl and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"I'm the one." Big B was frozen during work, and his clown face was cracked by the cold, and dark red blood was blown out by the dry and cold mountain wind: "Can you say a kind word to Chief Havana?" In other words, the burdens on the shoulders of the brothers are too heavy. Eight hours a day, the lighthouse and the signal tower go back and forth, turning it sixteen times."

"This tower is at least thirty meters high. A few of us made a mistake. It was indeed wrong to rob the hospital. We admit our mistake."

"But if this continues."

As Big B spoke, his nose suddenly became sore and he felt the threat of death.

"We can't go on like this. My body can't stand such a cold weather."

Havana knows how to kill these blood-giving monsters. Their average body temperature will not be higher than 27 degrees Celsius. In this environment, if there is no suitable food accompaniment, they will not be able to eat a mouthful of human flesh without waiting for lycanthropy. If it breaks out, these four little ones will die at the work station sooner or later. Maybe he was suffering from hypothermia and fell all the way down the spiral iron staircase of the tower. Maybe he was in a trance and fell asleep in the warm top of the tower. He went crazy and died in the abnormal spiritual pressure environment the next day.

Jiang Xueming doesn't have much kindness left for these blood-giving monsters. He has no idea how many criminal records Big B and Ajie have and how heavy the punishment will be. But Andro's crime will not lead to death.

He first asked a few questions to understand Big B's basic demands, and then thought of Havana's mourning for St. Josh Joris and his sympathy with this cannibal devil. The reason was not difficult to guess. This military station The interrogator obviously had murderous intentions and was salivating over these criminals. Just waiting for the four little ones from the war gang to be frozen into bacon.

Jiang Xueming asked: "Have you told Chief Havana about this?"

Big B nodded immediately: "I just finished cleaning the tower. I told you that the style of the lighthouse is ancient. The fuel needs to be changed four times a day. It takes at least half an hour to climb up and down. It can't be faster. If you are a little careless and distracted, you can't be sure. Will fall down the iron ladder."

Jiang Xueming then asked: "What did she say?"

Big B squatted next to the priest. The clown's face was wrinkled and his expression was very ugly: "She called us bitches, so we should do mean jobs. If we do well, our sentences will be reduced. If we don't, we will die here. Die here." Bar."

"She is a liar. Where does she get the power to commute the sentence of a villain and scumbag like you? How shameless is she? Dare she brag about going to Haikou to help you exonerate you?" Jiang Xueming's tone became colder and colder: "Big B, you and I I told you that you must stay in prison no matter what, the iron cage is protecting you, and a blood-donating unit like you has almost become a protected animal in today's underground world."

Big B quickly asked for help: "My priest, I sincerely repent to God. If you give me a chance, I will fast and be baptized and sincerely believe in religion. Please help me."

Saying this, Big B clasped his hands together, revealing two palms full of scars. The palms were wrapped with strips of cloth, and there were not even a pair of work gloves. It was a temporary cold protection made by the brothers using local materials.

Jamie and his daughter listened very clearly. Uncle Jamie just kept his head down while eating and had no intention of interjecting. Whether these criminals were alive or dead had nothing to do with him. Others spoke softly and only thought about his daughter's health.

Benny, the psychic medium, is different. She has extraordinary inspiration and can even feel the pain of Big B personally.

This harpy girl has been suffering from lycanthropy since she was a child. The blood donation unit has no human flesh. She managed to survive after the outbreak of lycanthropy. Without the protection of the holy blood, she will become a hybrid disaster like her. Beast——Benny naturally took one more look at the dining table of war gang criminals.

The brothers all looked decadent and depressed.

Ajie could no longer be proud. There were bruises on his face, his down jacket had collapsed, and there were many damaged areas. It was from a severe fall.

Schopenhauer still wore the spinal correction device and could not turn his head at all. He stared straight ahead, his lips white and his eyes dull.

The one with the most wounds on his body was Andro. This honest and honest strong man had an angry face and was tortured by his work. The steel cable basket of the tower cut open the skin of his hands, and his trouser legs were rotted, exposing A part of the calf was covered in blood and flesh. Although in the eyes of the blood-giving monster, these were just flesh wounds, the temperature here was already close to zero, and they would not be able to recover at all just by relying on natural healing ability.

"Can you help them, Father?" Benny said without thinking, "Help them."

Xueming immediately said: "Little girl, I have helped them, and God has also helped them."

Before deciding to rob the infirmary, they could have stopped and found a class with Saladin, but they didn't.

After entering the medical clinic, they can still stop, return the hostages and money, and honestly tell the military station the true identity of Saint Josh Joris, so that they can be exonerated and meritorious. But they didn't do that.

After taking Xueming to the cave and escaping to the Mimir Hot Spring Market, they could have stopped and spared the priest's life, but they still did not do so.

After entering the cell, Xueming asked them to stay in the iron cage, but Havana only used a few words to coax them into this dangerous settlement. Make them do deadly work.

Benny was very stubborn. She looked at the chicken drumsticks in the bowl and returned the gift to Jiang Xueming's dinner plate——

——Like a child having a temper, she stared at Xueming with resentment in her eyes.

Xueming couldn't quite understand Benny's thoughts, so she asked directly.

"What are you thinking? Little sister Benny, you want me to meddle in this business? Even if this Big B is from a war gang? The person who killed your mother was not Uncle Jamie, not your father, not the one who came to your door asking for a gun. reckless young man."

"These are the people who harmed your mother. Think clearly."

As soon as these words came out, Big B's face turned ugly.

After hearing this, Benny became upset and anxious. It was difficult for her to think about complex issues. A piece of her soul was missing, and her intelligence also became lower. He started scratching his hair and tearing the feathers off his body.

"No, no, no, I won't tell you." Jiang Xueming returned the chicken legs on the plate to Benny's bowl, and finally said softly: "Let's do this - Big B, come here."

Big B put his face to the priest's mouth and listened.

"I work in the same class as you. No matter how vicious Havana is, she won't dare to harm me. If Maguire knew that I lost my life in the mountains, he would definitely get to the bottom of it. Then Havana, this bitch, don't She is said to be in the Red Rock Rock Band, and once the responsibility for the safety accident is determined, she will also become a prisoner."

"Father." Big B didn't know what to say and suddenly started to cry: "Father, you are my biological father."

After eating and drinking, Oscar cooked and exercised on the Shayang landing platform. Brother Lang became calmer and more handsome after running into the cold environment.

This may be the awakening of the bloodline of the Siberian Husky. The heat in the hot spring market full of sulfur pyroxene ruined his brain, which caused the CPU temperature in his skull to be too high and he talked nonsense every day.

Oscar howled into the deep valley. After a while, he made a rattling sound and his tongue flicked.

Xueming happened to be going to Havana's office. Hearing these strange noises, he asked about the reason.

"Brother Wolf? What are you calling?"

Oscar explained: "In addition to the Spoonton ladybug, there are many bugs in the Elf Holy Land. The most common one in the cave is a pig-headed scorpion - they are fat and round, with wings growing on the top of their heads. A scorpion's stinging tail hangs from the end of its body like a balloon, also called a balloon scorpion."

"Did that voice just say hello to them?" Xueming became interested.

Oscar nodded: "Yes, this balloon scorpion is very poisonous and requires a panacea. I just wanted to shout a few words to see if they slept and whether they had enough to eat. If they suddenly come in groups to attack the settlement Hey, there is also a preparation - people at the workstation rarely have the chance to raise their heads while working, and these balloon scorpions sting people without feeling anything. They are just a small toothpick-thick needle stuck from the top of the head, so it is impossible to prevent them."

"If the prey is poisoned and its body becomes stiff and unconscious, they will swarm up, drag the unconscious prey down the valley and throw it to death, and then slowly digest the prey's meat."

Saying this, Brother Lang changed his tone again.

Xueming sounded strangely familiar.

"This is the cry of the human-faced sculpture." Brother Lang is like a small language announcer of disaster beasts: "If you are interested, I will demonstrate to you the hyena language I just learned. It is also a close relative of ours."

"You are so talented." Jiang Xueming praised him without hesitation. With Oscar, this journey seems to have become very easy.

"Hey! Only genius can ignite genius!" Brother Lang exchanged business blows: "Brother Flathead, where are you going?"

Jiang Xueming responded as he walked: "I'm going to see Havana to discuss something."

"Yeah!" Oscar nodded and responded, "Then I'll continue calling."

When Xueming left, a worker at the signal station followed Xueming. He ran to Oscar and greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Oscar?"

Brother Lang turned around and took a look. The person who came was an unfamiliar face.

"Hey, you're lucky, haven't you asked me for advice?"

The person who came did not mention his name, but directly called Hunwei.

"[Return To Innocence·Return To Innocence]!"

The sudden surge of spiritual energy made Jiang Xueming look back fiercely——

——Oscar's eyes were blank, his sternum was broken, and his chest was sunken along with his down jacket, as if he had been punched with great force. He had bleeding from his mouth and nose and suffered cardiac arrest. His originally golden wolf eyes also turned into a dead gray, and he stepped into death. In the door.

Xueming quickly crossed the ladder and ran back to the Shayang landing platform. Oscar's mouth was still spurting blood. The big wolf was staggering and almost fell off the platform and into the abyss.

It wasn't until Xueming took Brother Lang back into his hands and felt the remnants of the soul power on Brother Lang's chest that he was convinced that this was an attack of soul power.

But where did the attack come from? who is it? Is anyone following him? Follow him through the iron staircase? Have you come to this platform?

Why don't you have any impression at all? Why?

He carried Oscar back to the cafeteria, carefully walked up the narrow iron ladder, and squeezed through the door with the giant wolf on his shoulder. Several helpers at the workstation were eating. When he saw Oscar's tragic condition of bleeding from the mouth and nose, he immediately stepped forward to help.

Xueming collected a panacea from the infirmary and worked with the first-aid explorer to treat Brother Lang's chest fracture until Brother Lang regained consciousness and sneezed several times, spurting out all the congestion in his chest and lungs. Only then did Xueming feel a little relieved.

The speed of this kind of spirit power attack exceeded his imagination. There was no hiding place around the Shayang Platform. No matter how bad Oscar was, he was still the son of a wolf mother. The enemy's spirit power could paralyze Oscar and retreat completely in an instant. The remnants of the soul power left behind cannot even be accurately tracked. Judging from Xueming's inspiration - this guy seems to have disappeared out of thin air, like an invisible and intangible ghost, like a curse.

"Did you see that? Someone is attacking you! Oscar!"

After Oscar woke up, he only felt a dull pain in his chest, without any consciousness, as if he had lost this part of his memory.

"Ah? Why am I here? Oh! Oooh, dinner is ready, right?"

The big wolf straightened up from the long table in the cafeteria and looked at the people curiously.

"Someone attacked me? What attack? Oh! Oh! I went to the platform and roared a few times to help you detect the surrounding disaster beasts. Why did I faint? Me."

This series of strange and inexplicable words made Xueming shudder.

Oscar seemed to have no memory of what attacked him. He didn't even know Hunwei's form or specific abilities. He was like a baby who could only be passively beaten unilaterally.

"Oscar! Tell Havana to call everyone over! There is a guy with soul power hidden in our team——"

"——This guy wants to kill you!"
