"What about the second option?" asked starry.
Adimili replied, "the second way is to climb tulash mountain and pass through the storm fortress. Down the mountain is the emerald field, which is a natural ice tundra. Our green capital, Georgia, is on the west side of the ice tundra."
"What's the difference between the two roads?" zero directly asked the key point. There must be great differences between the two roads, otherwise adimili wouldn't ask what she and starry meant.
"Passing through the hall of the dead from the old tunnel will greatly save time, and it is relatively easier to walk without being affected by the cold climate caused by high altitude. But the problem is that we once sent troops to sweep the hall of the dead. However, no more than 10 people came back from a team of 300 people. The hall of the dead has been occupied by cold corpse demons. What's our number Afraid of your two captains and other powerful subordinates, you must pay a price if you want to pass. "Adimili said solemnly.
"Ice corpse demon?" obviously, neither zero nor Stanley has heard of this monster.
Adimili explained: "These monsters evolved from the corpses of the base staff. At first, they were just living corpses. A small number of living dead left the base and wandered on the emerald field. We found them and wiped them out. From this, we found the existence of the dead hall. According to the traces of these living dead, we found the dead hall and talked with the living dead inside There was a battle. However, the reconnaissance team was only about 15 people at that time, and this number was soon drowned by the living dead. "
"After confirming that the reconnaissance team was completely destroyed, we sent another team to the hall of the dead. There, our soldiers found that the living dead ate up the bodies of the previous reconnaissance team. When there was no food, the living dead began to kill each other. The team didn't dare to stay and withdrew quickly. When we organized a team of 300 people to destroy the living dead, we found it They have changed in the hall of the dead, "said adimili "According to the description of the survivors at that time, we know that the living dead have evolved. We don't know whether they ate the bodies of our scouts or whether the living dead killed each other and mutated their genes. In short, they have evolved into another monster. They become more agile and fast enough to avoid the attack of high-energy beams. They become stronger , both strength and defense have been greatly improved. The most significant change is that they are even sensitive to ice and dark elements, so they can release a kind of shadow ice fog material. In shadow ice fog, the field of vision will be greatly limited. Not only that, but also the spiritual perception and exploration instruments will be greatly affected. In addition, ultra-low temperature ice fog particles will affect the speed It has an impact and will continuously consume the energy in the organisms in the ice fog. This is a kind of existence similar to the home, but this home is supported by the cold ice corpses and demons. "
"In addition, a deep cold Lord has been created in the cold ice corpse demon. The king of the cold corpse demon has a deep cold aura, which is similar to the shadow ice fog, but the negative effects are far greater than the shadow ice fog. In addition, we only know that it can release cold flame and ice spike dungeon, which are high-level ice abilities. As for whether the deep cold Lord has other abilities, I'm not sure We don't know. "Adimili stressed," so if we want to pass through the dead hall, we can save time on the journey, but we have to face a monster army composed of a deep cold Lord and more than 300 corpse demons. Even if we can pass by then, I'm afraid there are only a few people who can get out. "
"So what about the other way? What kind of storm fortress is another old age base?" starry asked.
Adimili shook her head and said, "no, storm fortress is a defensive fortress built by us in Georgia."
After the turash mountain is the emerald field, which is already the scope of the green capital of gegna, so gegna will build a defensive fortress on the turash mountain. The storm fortress is located on the only way down the turash mountain, which can be said to guard the traffic arteries. If you don't get the permission of gegna, any attempt to pass by force unless there are two wings in the north Your creatures have to be tested by storm fortress.
At the beginning of the design, the storm fortress is an iron fortress with both attack and defense. In the fortress defense plan passed by Lvdu, the storm fortress will be stationed for many years with 200 Yuren swordsmen, 100 Yuren spear soldiers, 10 captains, two deputy commanders and one commander. In addition to individual equipment, it is also equipped with a heavy artillery weapon "pneumatic gun" independently developed by Lvdu.
The pneumatic gun is a heavy gun that uses air compression technology combined with physical shells to achieve long-range attack. The shooting distance can reach 2000 meters and the shooting frequency is 10 shots per minute. The pneumatic gun has two shooting modes: direct shooting and ejection. The projectile speed in direct mode can reach 2500 meters per second, and one gun can flatten the whole mountain; the ejection mode can accurately control the impact point and the shell can explode The coverage is increased by about 20%, which is a sharp weapon for positional attack.
It can be said that the equipment of the whole storm fortress is very perfect. It is like an iron wall on tulash mountain. As long as it exists, it is an insurmountable barrier in the new era of lack of air flight tools.
However, during the construction of storm fortress, something happened, which made the fortress unable to be completed as planned, let alone garrison troops.
"When the fortress was half built, an abyss level mutant attacked us. It was ice wing malrog. Although we tried our best to stop it, the abyss level mutant could not be repelled by a force that even a regular army didn't have at that time. After being attacked by ice wing, all the workers and soldiers involved in the construction died, even the storm that was not completed The fortress was also greatly damaged. Finally, our storm fortress became the nest of this monster. "Adimili's tone showed a faint helplessness.
How tricky are abyss level mutants, but I've experienced it myself. Just under the base of his own company, there used to be an abyss Lord Angie Gullit. In order to eradicate the mutant beast that day, zero wasted the power of nine cattle and two tigers. At that time, Angela Gullit did not succeed until she was weak. If she was in her heyday, it was still a question whether all the people present could retreat.
Abyss level mutants often have evolved intelligence. They are smart, cunning and cruel. When a place is occupied as a nest, it will delimit the vicinity of the nest as its own territory. Other creatures cannot live in its territory without its permission. At that time, Angie Gullit allowed a variety of creatures above the base to exist, but he planned to use these creatures as food for his young son after birth.
Every abyss mutant beast is by no means easy to deal with. Even if there is only one, it is comparable to an army. After hearing that storm fortress was used as a nest by an abyss mutant, zero couldn't understand why adimili chose this route. Compared with ice wing malrog, the cold Lord and cold ice corpse demon in the hall of the dead are much more lovely. Obviously, the pressure passing through the hall of the dead is less than that of storm fortress, even if that place is equally dangerous.
There seems to be a question of zero, adimili explained: "Although the storm fortress is occupied by the ice wing, only in summer can malrog wake up in his deep sleep and haunt in the nest. Now there is still a month before it wakes up, and we can pass through the storm fortress safely. But the hall of the dead is different. The ice corpse devil will never close his eyes, and the dead roam in the hall forever, And attack all life entering the base. "
"I see. There seems to be no need to choose. As long as they are not fools, they will choose storm fortress rather than the hall of the dead." starry laughed.
For this, zero will not give up easily and ask for difficulty. Although he is very interested in the hall of the dead, he also knows that this is not a good time, and he has no right to pull everyone into a dangerous situation for his own sake. So the route to storm fortress tomorrow is so determined. Seeing that it is getting late, adimili also leaves and goes back to herself Camp break.
Zero also returns to his tent, which is very warm, thanks to the constant temperature system of the marching tent. This marching tent developed by asgat has the function of temperature self-regulation, which can not only isolate the field radiation, but also maintain a moderate temperature in the tent.
The newly hunted bear's skin lay flat on the ground, and Leah slept on her side. She was covered with a marching blanket and seemed to be asleep. Zero knew she didn't sleep, because Leah's breathing increased a little when he came in, and it was obvious that she was still awake.
Zero came to her and lay down. He gently stroked Leia's hair and said, "can't you sleep?"
Leah turned and got into zero's arms. She wrapped her hands around zero's waist and said with a smile, "I can't sleep without seeing you back."
"In fact, you are safe and don't have to accompany me to suffer in such a place." zero kissed the girl's forehead and said faintly.
Leah shook her head: "no, if I want to stay at a comfortable home and wait for you to return, I'd rather go to the battlefield with you, so I can be with you all the time. Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you. Although I'm not as capable as sister Bess, I'm sure I can do something for you!"
Zero sighed: "you've done well enough. Don't force yourself too much. Besides, there's nothing cumbersome, you or Bess. You're all important people to me. It's my duty to protect you."
Hearing what zero said, Leah smiled happily. She pushed hard into zero's warm chest and said softly, "zero, after the western expedition, I want to have a baby for you. Do you agree?"
"Child?" zero was very surprised.
"Yes, don't you like it?" Leah looked up and looked forward.
"No, I don't mean that. What I want to say is that there are too few of them. How can I get ten or eight." zero ha ha smiled.
Leah blushed and pretended to be angry: "you think I'm a sow. I can't give birth to so many."
"Well, well, then have two. A boy and a girl. The man is like me and the woman is like you. All right." zero patted the pink back of the man in his arms.
Leah nodded, "that's about the same."
"If you like many children, I'll work harder at most," she said in a low voice
Zero pinched the tip of Leah's nose and said, "don't think about it so far in advance. Go to bed. We have to climb the mountain tomorrow."
"Well, I'll listen to you," Leah said cleverly. She snuggled up to zero and closed her eyes. After a while, there was a uniform sound of breathing, but he had fallen asleep.
At this time, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at Leah and sighed gently in his heart.
Bearing offspring is a top priority in the new era. The cruel living environment forces mankind to fight the threat of death by accelerating the birth cycle and increasing the number of babies. As long as future generations continue to grow, even if the reality is cruel, there will always be hope.
In fact, as far as I know, some powerful men in the wilderness usually have wives and concubines in their families. The only task of wives is to have as many offspring as possible. Although they become tools of production, they have no complaints about it. This is because of the cruelty of this era.
The emergence of capable people distinguishes them from ordinary humans. But capable people are evolving, and ordinary people do not stop in the wilderness. Mutated tissue that can resist strong radiation is actually a kind of evolution, but it tends to be morbid evolution. Perhaps after several or even dozens of generations of evolution, the genes of the mutated tissue will tend to stabilize and even optimize into something similar to skin tissue to be attached to ordinary people, so that they can survive even if exposed to radiation.
As for another evolution, it is manifested in women.
Perhaps because of the strong demand for reproduction, women's genes are quietly changing. Their body tissues are constantly adapting to the needs of the times. Now a 13-year-old girl has the basic requirements for producing offspring. The reproductive period has been reduced from 300 days in the old era to 150 days. The reduction of the reproductive period by half means that more offspring can be born.
However, this also brings a serious problem, that is, the probability of premature death of newborn children is very high. Of almost ten babies born at the same time, only two or three can survive.
Hearing that Leah wanted to have children for herself, zero was filled with emotion. Leah's physical quality is completely suitable for childbirth, and with her strengthened constitution, her baby will be very healthy. No matter from which perspective, this is a woman's very reasonable and physiological appeal. The problem is that zero, as a clone of super life, knows that it has the possibility of infinite evolution.
Because of this, he also knew that evolution must be ahead of fertility in terms of genetic priority. In other words, all the energy of his body is always ready for the needs of evolution, which is a strong and irreversible instinct. Zero can leave sperm in Leah's body like other normal men, but it is unclear whether sperm have the material to combine with eggs to produce embryos.
Because under the priority judgment of instinct, I'm afraid this substance that should have existed in sperm will also be removed early in the morning and transformed into pure energy for zero.
Therefore, zero is not sure whether he can make Leah, or Beyonce pregnant with her own child. But everything is always relative. Although instinct will make evolution the first priority, zero also has 100000 DNA memory groups. In theory, if zero can master these 100000 memory groups freely, he can make up for the defects caused by instinct.
But for him now, although he has a huge gold mine, he still lacks a key to open the gold mine.
