Chapter 95 A Ballad
In the gray sky, a group of black birds flew past the forest. Their unpleasant croakers made the surrounding fog even more distorted.
"Those are people from Laisheng Company." Gu Jun said in a low voice, "I can recognize that they are wearing this kind of clothes in my memory."
In fact, those figures were blurred by the fog, and they didn't seem to be long jackets, but he just recognized them.
Xue Ba and others were ready to fight. Except for Lou Xiaoning, the guns of the firepower team members were aimed at the enemy shadows from all directions. However, the fog became heavier and the figures were hidden behind the giant tree and became invisible.
"I can't see..." Yang Henan, who quickly set up a sniper rifle, breathed, and the thermal imaging sight could not penetrate the gloomy giant tree.
Everyone was still breathing, but the roar of the wild beast became more and more ferocious.
Gu Jun saw some of the shadows of the wild beasts gradually coming out of the fog. Now they could see clearly that it was an unknown creature or a beast, like a wolf's body, but each one had a brown bear-like body shape, with fur like black thorns, exposed fangs and dripping drooping fluid even more chilling.
Before Xue Ba could shout any negotiation words, suddenly, the pack of wolves around him rushed over, everywhere, endlessly.
"The firepower team opened fire!" Xue Ba immediately said, with a strong face full of determination, "Stay everyone else, don't waste ammunition."
Zhou Yi, Gao Mingpeng and others pulled the trigger of the rifle. There were two team members in each of the four directions, all of which started to fire, and gunfire sounds were everywhere.
The bullet shell fell on the altar with a pounding slam. This weapon that humans trusted and relied most constantly emitted fire, and the recoil blew their muscles, making their already exhausted bodies tense up and fall apart into pieces.
The beasts didn't know what fear was. Even though the bullets rushed in front were splattered with blood and blood, the ones behind were still rushing towards them.
The near-death howls and foul smells of blood from the same kind only aroused the madness of the wolves. They rushed faster and more, like storms and tides.
"Ah..." Lou Xiaoning made an anxious voice.
Uncle Dan is responsible for paying attention to her. This kind of beast is rough and thick in skin. It cannot knock it down with one shot. It must be a headshot.
But their speed is very fast and their condition is poor, so it is impossible to shoot the headshot. As the team's firepower leader, Lou Xiaoning's shooting rate has long been the first. If she is still a normal person, she can only stand aside and watch, which is very breathless.
Lin Mo and several other scientific research team members became increasingly unbelievable. From the distance to the altar, the corpses of beasts that had fallen all over the ground.
Wouldn't they be afraid? This really violates natural nature...
But what Gu Jun thought was, are they real?
Xue Ba was also suspicious of this, and immediately asked his partner Zhou Yi to put a strange wolf into the altar, and then knocked it out. The two of them opened fire while walking forward and kicked the beast corpse on the altar with their feet. It did exist there, and this was not an illusion.
However, the tide of the wolves has not yet weakened, and their ammunition has been removed almost half, so the bullets will be exhausted soon if they continue.
"Prepare to break through!" Xue Ba told everyone loudly, and asked Gu Jun's thoughts: "Which side should you go?"
"I don't know..." Gu Jun really had no idea, and his mind was just a little chaotic.
Based on his own feelings, Xue Ba decided to break through in the opposite direction to the high wall space. Lin Mo got on the stretcher and was carried away by Gu Jun and Zhang Huo.
At that moment, they were killing the strange wolf while walking outside the altar.
But at this time, a strange sound came from the fog, as if the people in Laisheng Company were chanting different languages, as if they were singing... hazy, but they could penetrate everyone's hearts. Gu Jun was chaotic and dizzy, and he murmured: "This seems to be... a song from this world..."
【The stone path is dark and silent, that is the beginning of life
In my mother's dream, poisonous snakes, worms and demons appeared
From morning to night, there is a lot of pain]
"Why..." The team walked dozens of steps. This distance was already enough to walk out of the altar. However, they were surprised to find that they were still in place, as if they had been wandering around, but they were clearly walking outside.
The ability to shoot bullets and beasts can run in is not because of space, but because their spirits are affected.
Suddenly, they couldn't find the way even to retreat to the Wheelbarras.
This feeling is like knowing that you are dreaming in a dream. After some action, I thought that after I woke up, I was just another dream.
At this time, everyone realized so much that the team's lack was also a deficiency of the Tianji Bureau.
When facing the abnormal power being controlled and cast, they did not have considerable tricks.
"It's those songs!" Xue Ba shouted, trying to break the confusion between himself and everyone, "concentrate and abandon distracting thoughts, don't listen!"
They don't understand what that means, but they can feel confused in their minds. It is not that easy to not want to listen...
Whether it was because of Gao Lingzhi or could understand the meaning, Gu Jun was the one who listened the most, and there were already some strange phenomena in front of him.
The song became louder and more mesmerizing...
【The nightmare grows stronger every day, waiting to break out from the earth
Mom is thinking every day whether it is the tender creature in her womb or the ghoul living
She sometimes thinks sadly
The birth of life cannot be separated from pain
Sometimes she thinks peacefully
The birth of life cannot be separated from pain]
"The birth of life cannot be separated from pain..." Gu Jun murmured in a daze, and suddenly, the scenes of the confused visions became clearly visible.
It was not an illusion, it seemed that some memories he had born with were revived before his eyes.
This altar... Gu Jun remembered that this was the place where alien literati held their coming-of-age ceremony.
The stone path, stone chamber, and gyrostone staircase from Hawke City to the altar are all part of the ceremony.
Unlike the human civilization on Earth who likes to build towers of heaven to get close to the gods, different literati believe that Mother Earth (Goddess of Life) nourishes everything.
To walk the ten thousand steps of stone path, you must first go deep into the ground, enter the stone chamber to return to the place that symbolizes the mother's life, and climbing the gyro stone staircase is the process of birth. The gyro stone staircase is not allowed to walk from top to bottom, but can only go from bottom to top. Pushing the altar is also a link of the ceremony, just like a new life is squeezed out.
The original design of the building is also the shaking above the stone staircase and about to break.
Because the mother is also at a huge risk when giving birth, the birth of a new life is also a kind of harm to the mother.
This song was sung by groups of newly grown young girls while participating in the ceremony...
"But why do I know this?" Gu Jun fell into a daze. "Why do I seem to have participated in it personally...Is it an experience when I was a child?"
The roar of wild beasts, the bang of the team members shooting, and the sound of songs filled with fog, mixed into strange sounds.
Suddenly, there was another cold and induced call from Xue Ba, Uncle Dan and the others who could understand:
"Gu Jun, open your eyes and look around, open your eyes!"
This call hit Gu Jun's heart like a heavy hammer...
At the same time, with the call, the figures of men in black appeared in the fog around the altar, walking together from different directions.
Several snipers immediately fired at them, but the bullets just passed through the figure, and there was no scream. Was that just a twisted phantom?
The wild beasts were still rushing, but they seemed to be unviewing the figures in black. Xue Ba, Zhou Yi and others' faces were wrinkled. The team's automatic rifle bullets had been exhausted. They had to use guns like Gu Jun's submachine guns and other guns, but the ammunition was getting less and less.
"Gu Jun, open your eyes, look around, and see what you are."
The figures of men in black walked out of the fog from all directions and approached the altar.
