ultimate cannon fodder

After nightfall, there was silence in the valley. On a protruding cliff, Jiang Qiuyi sat quietly on the ground with her knees in her arms. Her face was buried behind her knees. Her long black hair was fluttering in the night wind. Dots of stars in the black Her moving silhouette is outlined against the background. Sad and beautiful.

"What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought." Ma Jianyao came from behind and sat down next to her. He looked up at the vast sky and listened to the rustling wind in his ears. He suddenly felt particularly peaceful in his heart. He was stuck in the realm these days. Every day, I am either thinking about how to save my life or how to improve my combat power. There are rarely such quiet moments, as if I can listen to the whispers deep in my heart.

"I'm thinking about Dean Wang and the others." Jiang Qiuyi's tone was very low. You couldn't see the expression on her face, but she must have been very uncomfortable.

"Don't think about it." Ma Jianyao also understood Jiang Qiuyi's mood at this moment. He sighed and said: "The world is like this. Anything can happen. All we can do now is protect ourselves and live well. "

"Thank you, Ma Jianyao." Jiang Qiuyi suddenly turned her head and looked at Ma Jianyao affectionately with her bright eyes and said.

"Thank me. Why are you thanking me?" Ma Jianyao said with a smile: "You are so polite all of a sudden. It makes me uncomfortable. Stop thinking about it and go to bed early. We may have to leave here in a few days."

"Get out of here." Jiang Qiuyi was stunned for a moment. "Are we going to that big lord? You really have thought about it. These Pleiadians are aliens after all. They will not share the same mind and heart with us. Since we are so fast It's been fine for a year. Why not continue like this? Even if this place is not safe to be exposed, it's so big. It's not difficult to find another secluded place." Although she didn't say anything at the time, it didn't matter. I agree with Ma Jianyao's contact with the Pleiades and even be used by them.

"I understand what you mean. But since Fang Xuanyi can integrate into the Pleiades society, why can't we." Ma Jianyao said lightly: "The Light of Hope is different from other realms. The development here is slow. We and the Pleiades There is not much killing between people. It is far from the point of endless death. In addition, there is the precedent of Fang Xuanyi. It is not impossible to make the Pleiades accept us. They can send back Captain Luo and Brother Yan. Doesn't this explain the problem? But what you said also makes sense. It is essential to be on guard against others. So I plan to find a few safe and hidden places again in a while. At least I have to make sure that the backyard is worry-free before I can try it. I'm going to make contact with the Pleiadians. By the way, how is the water purification treatment device going?"

Jiang Qiuyi shook her head and said with some frustration: "I still have no clue. This thing looks simple, but the core part is difficult to replace with other things. The materials on hand are very limited at the moment. It is not possible to imitate it yet."

Although Ma Jianyao was a little disappointed, he didn't say anything. After all, Jiang Qiuyi is good at biological genetic research. It was a bit difficult for her to imitate the water purification device. But this water purification device is really crucial. It is directly related to Their survival was at stake. He couldn't help but ignore it. If he couldn't find a way to imitate it, if the existing device was damaged, or if it was too late to take it away when escaping, then even if they escaped, it would be difficult for them to continue to survive in this realm. Go down.

After thinking for a while, Ma Jianyao said: "Take your time. There's no need to be in a hurry. I'll find time to go back to the base and see if I can find anything that can be used."

"Of course this is the best. But wouldn't it be too dangerous?" Jiang Qiuyi said worriedly: "Weren't Colonel Jiang and the others attacked on their way to the base?"

"The one who attacked Colonel Jiang and the others should be Lord Gusnuo. Otherwise, he would not have been able to send Captain Luo and Brother Yan back." Ma Jianyao said with a smile: "Don't worry. He has something to ask of me now and will not attack. Mine. Besides, don’t you understand me? Even if I can’t be beaten, I can’t run away. The person who can kill me hasn’t been born yet.”

Jiang Qiuyi was right when she thought about it. She was in danger several times and she was desperate. But he miraculously led her to fight a bloody road. She was not even injured at all. Now that she thinks about it, it feels incredible. And this nearly a year ago Although Ma Jianyao has always injured himself over the years, his combat power has skyrocketed like a rocket. Even "Shangyue" level alien creatures are not a problem. Really compared to his actual combat ability, I am afraid even Jiang Yufeng It was not as good as it was. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Ma Jianyao was just a D-level dragon whisperer before. With such strength, even if he encountered danger, he should be able to handle it.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything. In short, just be more careful. Let me know before you go. I will make a list for you. Try to help me get everything on the list. I still need a few pieces of equipment for my research. If I complete these things, maybe I can give you a huge surprise."

"Okay. I'm looking forward to your surprise." Ma Jianyao said it but didn't take it too seriously. In the past year, he has been pestered by Jiang Qiuyi to draw blood and extract body cells and tissues more than once or twice. .I didn’t see her researching anything.

"They must all be asleep."

"They're all asleep. It looks like they haven't had a good sleep for a while. They slept soundly. You don't know how they snored one after another. I couldn't stay any longer. So I came out for a walk."

"It was indeed not easy for them, but they finally managed to save their lives. Although their injuries were serious, fortunately we had prepared a lot of first aid medicine. It would take less than 10 days for them to be alive again. With their help You and I can rest assured too."

The voice gradually became quieter, and the figures of the two people gradually moved closer, blending into the boundless darkness little by little.

…

There is not a single pillar in the hall, which can accommodate thousands of people. People have to admire the superb construction craftsmanship of the Pleiadians. There is no decorative craftsmanship in the entire hall, nor any furniture. It looks empty, but it can make people feel I felt a strong and fiery breath, as if I was in the crater of a volcano.

Gusnuo looked coldly at his subordinates who were lined up on both sides. Although there were countless arm-thick torches on the surrounding walls, perhaps because the space was too large, the firelight always seemed a little dim. Gusnuo, who was backlit, stood out in front of everyone. The eyes were almost pure black silhouettes. Only a little gem-like green light shone in the darkness. It was chilling.

"Great Lord, the temple is now greatly weakened. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. But why not only did it cease, but also cut off most of our elite warriors." A burly general complained gruffly. .The sound continued to echo in the hall.

Except for sacrifices, the combat power of the Pleiadians is almost directly proportional to the strength of the body. It seems that the more developed the muscles and the taller the body, the greater the strength. The corresponding combat power is also higher. And those who can enter here. They are all the most heroic and capable generals under Gusno. Although there are only a dozen of them, they are very small compared to this hall. But their combined momentum fills every corner of the hall with freezing coldness. of murderous intent.

"Stupid." Gusnow sneered and said: "Who said that the strength of the temple was damaged? Did you witness it with your own eyes? Besides, even if everyone else is dead, the old guy who is the high priest is still not that good. Deal with it. When have you ever seen him suffer a loss? This is a deliberate trap for us to get in and play a conspiracy. Who can play against him?"

"But even if we can't compete with the temple for the time being, there is no need to cut down the army. Several surrounding lords are eyeing us. If we really need to cut down the army, I'm afraid they will unite to deal with us."

"I'm afraid they won't come." Gusnow said with a sneer: "If they really dare to start a war first, the old guy in the temple won't be able to help them speak."

"Could it be that the great lord wants to show weakness in the name of reducing the troops? It can not only paralyze the temple and make it relax its vigilance against us, but also induce those with ulterior motives to attack us and give us a chance to deal with them. Haha. As expected. He is a great lord. He is really wise."

"Among so many people, you are the only one who still has some brains, Beya. Cutting down the army does not mean weakening the military strength. Don't think that I don't know how many people are in our team. There are 160,000 elites in name, but we can really call it that. I'm afraid I'll be thankful if I can get half of the elite ones. Fighting a war relies on real combat power, not bluffing with numbers. I'll give you 10 days. Within 10 days, you must reduce the number according to the standards I require. .No one who fails to meet the requirements can be retained. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. The reduction of troops is not just a matter of words. It is also related to many interests. No one is willing to lose such a big piece of fat that reaches the mouth. But it seems that Gusnow This time it was serious. They didn't dare to say anything.

After a long while, someone finally broke the suffocating calm and asked cautiously: "High Lord, you said that devil can really deal with the high priest of the temple. I have fought with their people, and I don't think they are any powerful. Yes. If it’s so powerful, why would their base be taken over by the temple?”

"How can we know if it works if we don't try it? Even if it doesn't work, what will we lose? I have a hunch that this alien race is not simple. Maybe it can have an unexpected effect. Everyone must keep this matter secret. No one knows I can’t tell it.”

Everyone nodded, but they didn't hold out much hope. At best, they just treated Gusno as a fool.

At this moment, a soldier ran in with a panic expression and said something in Gusnuo's ear. Gusnuo's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He said in disbelief: "What? How is this? possible."
