Chapter 21: Strength and Pride 6200

Boom!

There was a deafening roar in the atmosphere, as if two huge pieces of iron collided with each other at a rapid speed, making a huge collision sound that made people instinctively feel dangerous.

The girl named Iron Wall stood behind the battle-wheeled corpse and watched quietly as this unbelievable old man with white hair and a sturdy physique dismantled all the soul puppets around him into parts all over the ground with one punch.

In the Garden District, not all soul golems have gone to the front line to stop them from these invaders, and there will still be some independent guardian golems stationed in some important facilities, such as the warehouse area where they are now.

After a long trek, the Sibeja team made their way through the vast farming area to the Garden District, a process that they knew and had done many times before, but they would also encounter some battle spirit golems along the way, and they would kill all the labor golems around them as much as possible.

Labor puppets are the rebels' name for the ordinary, soulless, superpowerless and unintelligent Siberyas, who have very low combat effectiveness but are extremely numerous, and are responsible for providing material support to the puppets. Generally, when the Resistance breaches a Soul Golem Garden, they will kill all the Labor Golems so that they will not be rebuilt by other Soul Golems after leaving, and even if they are not breached, the Resistance will try to kill a large number of Labor Golems to reduce the plantation's production.

This time, however, it was a little different, as the beam in the hand of the 'magic arrow' began to condense, the 'chariot' as the captain interrupted her ability release. After recalling the figure of the young man sitting on the giant super puppet, the magic arrow obediently stopped his usual clean-up behavior, and the group ignored the laborers who were still numbly working around them, and went directly to the interior of the garden area.

Needless to say, the Siboya Resistance team quickly discovered the superpowered child paralyzed in the middle of the garden, and after leaving the 'Unlocker', 'Pegasus' and 'Invisible', the remaining four superpowers began to inspect all the buildings in the garden area, and began to clean up the guard puppets stationed separately among them.

"Captain, there are still fish that have slipped through the net!"

Not far away, there was the sound of magic arrows, followed by the low hum of the beam launch, and soon after, a somewhat apologetic voice sounded again: "Ah, I've solved it, captain, you don't have to come." ”

"The power of the magic arrow is getting stronger and stronger."

After dealing with the surrounding guard puppets, the chariot that originally wanted to move stopped in place after hearing this, he nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "She has the highest potential among us, and in a few quarters, I will be surpassed by her." ”

"Maybe one day, she will be able to overcome that barrier and become a powerful superpower like the leader."

Then, the old man noticed that there was an iron wall silently behind him, ready to provide defense, and he smiled and touched the girl's head: "Good boy, your defense ability is the most cherished, in terms of value alone, the entire team can only be compared to the unlocker." ”

"Hmm."

The girl replied in a low voice, and then she looked at the boxes in the surrounding warehouse area, and said softly: "Do you need to notify the 'leader' to get these weapons and equipment?" ”

In the warehouse area behind the medical area, the gate was smashed by brute force, the remains of several soul golems were scattered, and the engine oil was spilled all over the ground, while in the warehouse, boxes of rectangular metal iron boxes were neatly placed on the shelves, marked with obvious weapon icons.

knives, spears, knives, axes, hammers, flails, shields...... Furnace Ray Generators, Frost Ray Generators, Dissociation Ray Generators, High Energy Arc Generators...... A large number of weapons provided to the soul golems are stored here.

"No, there are enough weapons in the army, too many of them are difficult to act, we just need to destroy these weapons."

Chariot shook his head at Iron Wall's words, and he strode with the girl to the depths of the warehouse area, while explaining, "Of course, if there is any high-value weapon, such as the 'super weapon' that the leader found when he attacked the 'Seventh Mine Garden' last time, it will be worth bringing back...... That's a big deal. ”

The two of them made their way to the center of the warehouse area, in a small room that looked like an office, and after destroying two guard golems, the chariot searched the well-guarded room, but found nothing. It was clear that a small plantation did not have any supernatural weapons in stock, and the old man had been prepared for this, he shrugged his shoulders and removed a hexagonal prism that shimmered with silver-blue light from a cylindrical electronic table at the front of the room, and tucked it away in his arms.

"Every time the leader asks us to take this 'storage unit' back, but what is the use of this thing?"

The old man complained to himself, but he had long been accustomed to this kind of work, and after making sure that he had indeed missed something, the chariot took the iron wall and merged with the magic arrows and the explosion, ready to completely destroy the warehouse of the soul golem.

In the garden, the half-gray hair of the unlocker wiped the sweat dripping from her forehead, and through her soul ability, she had calmed the spirits of all the super children in the entire garden, so that these puppet children who seemed to have been played with were all closed their eyes and slept quietly. Beside him, two superpowers with stealth and flying abilities are on guard, and if something goes wrong, they will activate their abilities to take the unlocker away safely.

However, at this time, all the members of the Xiboya Super Team felt a terrifying sense of crisis.

"It's the Soul Radar!"

An incomparably strong soul signal came from afar, sweeping through the surrounding area for hundreds of miles, sensing this, the unlocker stood up in horror, she trembled and said, "The army of hunters...... Here they are! ”

"How so?!"

On the side, Pegasus and Invisible lost their voices in unison, and they said in disbelief, "Haven't they been lured to the north?!" The last newsletter also said that there would be at least a three-month period of stability......"

"When did they come back?"

At the same time, heavy footsteps sounded from behind the three of them, and the chariot came to meet with Tiebi and others, and everyone didn't say much, not just because of tacit understanding, but because the current situation was really tense to the point that everyone was a little unable to speak.

"Let's see how it goes."

As the captain of the chariot, he was the first to speak, and he motioned to the Pegasus on the side to show his ability, and the thin superpower had no intention of saving his physical strength at this time, with a faint green light enveloping everyone, the team of seven people quickly flew towards the edge of the plantation.

Soon, they were five times as fast as before, at the breach of the wall created by the explosion, and it was almost here that everyone in the Resistance Super Squad could faintly see the dust rising from the distant horizon and the flickering metallic glow beneath the smoke.

It was a smoke screen that covered the sky and the sun, as if it supported the heavens and the earth, and countless puppet armies that rose from smoke and dust—an entire army of puppets was speeding through the wasteland, stepping through the rocks and dirt, crushing everything in their path, and heading straight for their destination, and at that moment, a part of the puppets were split out of the army, and they scurried in the direction of the plantation. Looking at this scene, everyone floating in the air was silent, their faces and eyes were full of disbelief and panic, and after half a sound, they could hear the magic arrow say with difficulty: "Oh my God...... This amount ......"

"I haven't had that much ......in the past few years"

"And direction."

The old man at the head gritted his teeth, he had gone through a hundred battles and experienced a fugitive life for decades, but even so, his voice was still a little trembling: "They are heading towards the big hilly area...... The headquarters is stationed there now! ”

The rest of the people who were left had nothing to say...... The army of soul hunters, that is, the army of soul puppets used to exterminate them, the fugitives, since the last time the rebels attacked the spiral tower in the middle of the world but suffered a great loss of vitality and lost countless high-level abilities, it is difficult for them to resist the attack of the hunter army head-on, and the current rebels generally use various means to lure the hunters to go in the opposite direction, and they are seizing the opportunity to recuperate.

But now, the inducement seems to have failed, and even the people who monitored the direction of the hunters' armies have lost contact...... Moreover, the size of the hunter army dispatched by the soul puppet this time knows that the direction of the search is accurate, and it seems that it has really found the headquarters of the resistance!

"No, we need to hurry back to headquarters!"

The chariot turned his head suddenly, he looked at the thin young man who was about to bite his lip in fright, and said in a deep voice: "Pegasus, leave with the magic arrow, the unlocker and the iron wall, and the ability is overloaded to speed back to the headquarters, notify the leader!" ”

"Explosion, invisible, we stay, we can't add a burden to Pegasus!"

“…… Be! ”

A uniform answer came. After all, the rebel army is a military organization, although the chariot does not seem to be majestic, but when the old man as the captain really gives the order seriously, no one else dares to refute it, but accepts it happily, even if it is ordered to stay, it is almost equivalent to the explosion and invisibility that is sent to death.

As a matter of course, this series of decisions was made, and the chariot watched Pegasus rise into the sky with the three most potential and precious abilities, and flew towards the large hilly area, the old man's heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The army of hunters will not spare any of the fugitive superpowers, and they have already had a large detachment from the army to hunt down their squad...... This is the only solution.

At the very least, we can't let an old man like myself delay the survival of other more valuable people...... Invisible and explosive, let them see their luck, with stealth ability, they should be able to escape the hunt of hunters.

Thinking of this, the chariot couldn't help but raise its head and look at the sky, the sun was still dim today, but this did not reduce the heat in the air...... But soon, the old man was stunned, because he saw a familiar figure.

The huge metal ring slowly rotated, and the burly puppet sat a black-haired boy on his shoulder, the superpower child who was probably awakened on his own, looked indifferently at the army of hunters in the distance, and did not have the slightest intention of escaping.

"Hey—let's go!"

Because of Pegasus's departure, the old man who fell to the ground immediately shouted to the sky: "Hurry up and leave, that's an army of hunters, specializing in hunting awakened superpowers like us!" ”

"Since you can fly, don't stay, leave quickly! The farther you run, the better! ”

But neither the boy nor the puppet paid any attention to him, and they suspended in the air, waiting quietly, as if they were mired in contemplation and memory.

Through the turbid and hot air, Joshua looked into the distance from high in the sky, watching the army of puppets rushing rapidly in the distance, and could see that the observation mirror of the puppet's body was focused, and the young man's gaze became deeper and farther.

The familiar air, the familiar environment, as if he had gone back in time, as if he had returned to the days of a long, long time ago, when he was still on Earth, and when he was still on the battlefield of World War III.

How many years ago was that? Joshua asked herself. The time of the full immersion game is not synchronized with the real time, coupled with the fusion of memories brought by the time travel, he himself can't determine how long it has passed, but no matter how long it has passed, he will never forget what he saw and experienced at that time.

Memories that seemed to be buried in the depths of the wind and sand surfaced, and Joshua recalled them silently.

It was the darkest period of mankind since the modern era, the merciless war swept the whole world, no country was spared, human beings wantonly threw their own weapons at the homes of others, destroyed cities and villages, wiped out farmland and pastures, whistling missiles and even nuclear bombs flew by, most of them were intercepted by the defense system, but some still reached their destination - so the smoke of gunpowder filled, the mushroom cloud slowly rose, and millions of people died.

At that time, the scorching wind swept across the four fields, the cloudy smoke and dust drifted away with the clouds, the smog covered the land, sometimes bitterly cold, sometimes scorching weather staggered on a small planet, and the disrupted formed armies and equally chaotic enemies clashed on the battlefield - the strong electromagnetic chaos caused by the misuse of superweapons made the command dysfunctional, the melee caused by the overly powerful transportation capacity caused everything to become a mess, you can engage the enemy forces of three different countries in Asia in one day, It is also possible to run into a fugitive squad of civilians from five countries in Europa.

The air was as muddy, hot, and dusty as it is today.

It was in this environment that a boy grew up, and he traveled with his military parents from place to place with the army, during which he saw all the good: the friendly assistance of the exiles in the last days, the establishment of self-sufficient settlements deep in the mountains, the spontaneous provision of supplies by patriotic civilians, the desire to help the army, and even the commendable presence among the enemy, who maintained order, called for a halt, and wanted to make the frenzied upper echelons stop this senseless cannibalism.

However, he has also seen all the ugliness: in order to compete for supplies, friends who have been friends for many years turn against each other, and through the chaos of the disorderly times, the usual bullies and hooligans control a large group of civilians, and wantonly vent their desires on them, rape, beat, and even torture and kill people as they like...... In times of apocalyptic warfare without law, good will become precious, but malice will be magnified by hundreds, even thousands, especially in the territory of other countries, in the homeland of the enemy, and ugliness, once magnified, will become hopeless.

The massacre of civilians is such a thing.

The enemy army marched by, and no one survived in the villages and towns along the way, and the boy of yesteryear walked with the army, and in the silence of the suppressed fury of the soldiers around him, the boy saw the corpses all over the ground, and the blood sprinkled everywhere, he saw the soil blackened with blood, and saw the stumps and scraps of flesh hanging on the ruins of the houses, and he saw the corpses of men and women being shot out of the bloody holes one by one, and the organs of different colors flowing out of the wounds of the wreckage, giving off a disgusting smell.

Wolfdogs and scavenging birds gnaw at mutilated corpses, there are no survivors, there are no living people, maggots wriggle in the stinking sewage, pus grows in rotting tissues, pregnant women about to give birth have their bellies cut, babies that have already formed fall from them, and their bodies are trampled as if someone had carelessly stepped on them.

He had never opened his eyes and seen the world - and that was a blessing.

The memory dissipated, and Joshua's eyes refocused.

He heard the voice of the Siboya rebel squad behind him, and knew their movements, but the warrior didn't care, he stared at the Siboya world in front of him, and looked at the puppet army that was rapidly attacking, Joshua's heart did not fluctuate, he just let out a soft sigh.

He didn't like the massacre of civilians, he didn't agree with it anyway, he could never accept it, it was disgust etched in his soul. He doesn't like the strong bullying the weak, he doesn't like violence against the weak who have no power to resist, as long as he can, he will never allow this kind of thing to happen.

Joshua hated all of this and would never change.

This is a subjective position of the individual, which will not be changed by any conditions, even if he knows the difficulties of the Siboyan rebels, he will not change his opinion because of this, and will not assist them in this regard, when he is angry, Joshua even wants to use his own power, forcibly impose his values on the Sibeya rebels, he intends to use his own power to achieve his own goals, and spread his ideas.

But he wouldn't do that, not rudely, to be exact. After calming down, Joshua had already thought of a series of countermeasures...... He will teach the rebels the correct way to exercise their superpowers, he will improve their strength and open up a way forward, Joshua will make them strong, so that everyone can become strong without being swayed by 'conditions', so that they have a way to strengthen themselves by awakening the puppets without killing the puppets.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. Only with enough food to survive will one have the basis for discussing rituals, and with enough strength to survive, one will know the usefulness of morality. The reason why the Siboya rebels are so difficult is precisely because they are not strong enough to stop the puppet army and establish a stable base area, they can only rob the resources of the soul puppet garden from time to time, and then wander around.

In such a situation, it is impossible to develop 'civilization', and the fugitives will always be the fugitives, and they have no possibility of going further.

But Joshua was able to make it possible for them.

On the ground, the formlessness and blasting that were about to be hidden according to the orders of the chariot stopped in place, and they watched the old man stride towards the flying puppeteer, trying to remind the other party to leave quickly, but the two of them could only helplessly follow.

All the people in this Siboya Super Team were rescued from various plantations by chariots and raised...... The chariot was to them a relative, a father, they could leave anyone behind to flee for their lives, but not each other, and the two were preparing to stride to keep up with the old man's footsteps and help him remind the puppeteer to hurry up.

But halfway through, the two stopped and stared blankly at the sky.

Not only is it explosive and invisible, but in front of it, the chariot that was originally reminding loudly is also stunned to look at the words.

Even in the distance, the magic arrow that was rapidly departing with the blessing of Pegasus's ability snorted, and she turned her head to look at the plantation that was getting smaller and farther away, and her worried and irritated face showed a trace of uncontrollable surprise.

Because, they saw it, the incomparably brilliant colors.

Jingle Bell ...... With the collision of metals, like the crisp sound of bells, large swaths of colorful particles overflowed from all over the burly puppet's body, red, blue, yellow, green, black, silver, gold, countless complex and brilliant color particles in the air according to the orbit, floating on the puppet's side.

"Super Unit!"

After a short pause, the chariot exclaimed, he knew that this was a super unit used by the super golems, and for such objects of unknown material, the rebels could not destroy or use them, and they could not even touch them, so they could only ignore them - in the final analysis, the production of super golems is not large, and they can only load one at a time, so there is no need to care too much.

But now, they saw thousands of super-powered units floating around the giant golem, spinning in an extremely regular, naturally beautiful trajectory, like bright stars.

They saw the tall, sturdy puppet move, and it stepped through the air, slowly moving forward, and countless superpower units—particles of steel—began to collide with each other, merging with each other, and finally forming six octahedral gems that shimmered with strange colors, their surfaces flowing with a wonderful brilliance, and finally flew towards the steel ring behind the warrior.

"I can't help but do this kind of thing...... It's always impossible to ignore it. ”

Under the incredulous gaze of the chariot and the others, Joshua strolled in the direction of the army of hunters, he closed his eyes, and then opened them again, the structure of the puppet's body deformed under the force of steel, becoming more fluid and hideous.

The warrior stared at the world before him, the smoke and the atmosphere, the hot wind and the army, and he smelled the blood of human blood evaporating, and he also smelled the iron of metal.

"Arrogance is arrogance, I admit it."

Six octahedral gems formed by the condensation of countless steel particles were slowly inlaid on the rotating disk, and the powerful authority was unified by the power from above, with the injection of steel power, the rotating steel wheel released terrifying energy fluctuations, which even shocked the atmosphere, discharging all the smoke and dust within a radius of thousands of meters, forming a vast and dust-free space.

"Super Unit Loading - Loaded Successfully!" Undetectable electromagnetic signals mixed with soul fluctuations were transmitted through the atmosphere, but no one but the warriors could hear them.

Come on.
