Chapter 210
James was silent, and after a while he said, "How old were you then?"
"I've always been in a culture bottle." Todd said easily, but his eyes were frozen with a trace of sadness, "But I've seen her photos. My sister and I should have inherited the hair from her."
"Why didn't you go to the refugee country? Since this place is already so close to Feather Snake City."
"Women are not welcome in the refugee country. Unless you have a special status, such as a senior engineer who has contacted Eden..."
These people who were stuck between the two camps could only wander in groups on the wilderness with the harshest and most inhospitable environment.
"What about you? You were born in Paradise Lost?" Todd asked.
James shook his head, "I was lost outside the gate of Paradise Lost, and a team of hunters found me."
"So you never had family?"
"I haven't met my biological parents, but Zhang Ling and Zhang Xun are similar to my family."
But at this moment, from a distant place, there was a faint scream.
Todd stood up immediately and tried to call the three people who were walking in front of them. But probably because the distance was too far, no one responded.
Everyone also became nervous, Zhang Xun walked up to James and Todd and said, "Enoch's footsteps are faster, let him go and have a look."
Todd took a look at the robot that was standing quietly on the spot and hadn't even unloaded its luggage, and nodded hesitantly. Zhang Xun immediately issued an order to Enuo: unload the luggage and go to the source of the sound to check the situation.
Enoch usually moves at human speed just to cooperate with human beings. After receiving the order, his legs and feet are subtly deformed. The toes are elongated and the heels are raised, making them somewhat toe-walking, making the whole leg longer and better for running. He lowered his body, then jumped up suddenly, shooting towards the sky like an arrow, forming a long parabola, and falling in front of him. After a few ups and downs, the figure has disappeared into the night.
Many people looked enviously at the direction where the robot disappeared, and Zhang Xun heard someone say, "If only my legs could deform like this..."
Not long after, Enoch's leaping figure reappeared in the field of vision, and at the same time, voices came from everyone's headsets, "I advise everyone to seek cover immediately and be careful of the sky!"
When everyone raised their heads, they saw a few clouds rising in the surrounding sky, quickly approaching them. When James raised the gun and turned on the night vision function to take a closer look, he suddenly exclaimed, "Holy Shit! Everyone get down!"
The cloud came too quickly, and everyone hurriedly obeyed the order and lay down on the ground. Zhang Xun also lay on the ground in embarrassment, the cold feeling penetrated into his blood from the ground. He heard the wind, and some sort of flapping of wings. Countless wings flapped together, as dense as a rainstorm. A rancid smell followed, making it almost impossible to breathe.
With the suit's limited field of view blocking his view, he had no idea what was happening in the sky or what was passing overhead. All he could hear was the howling wind and the invisible pressure in the darkness.
Then someone was screaming, someone was shooting. He heard the wet sound of things being torn, flesh being torn apart. He heard Todd's roar, and the sound of lasers scorching flesh.
A figure blocked him, and he raised his head, only to see the robot blocking him with its own body. Behind it, some...birds the size of hawks? Frantically roaring past.
With a snap, a "bird" fell in front of him. Zhang Xun felt a cry of fear stuck in his throat.
That's not a bird. Its head was distorted and swollen, with a circle of needle-like fangs, and its nostrils were just two holes that seemed to be randomly poked into rotten flesh, but it had no eyes at all. Its body is about half a meter long, covered with uncomfortable folds and warts, but it is hairless. Its wings spread out, a pair of fleshy wings, badly damaged.
"What is this!" Zhang Xun shouted.
"These are bats that have survived several generations of mutated breeding after being irradiated. They are very aggressive and are sensitive to sound, smell and heat." Enoch lowered his voice, "I suggest you don't talk. I The temperature is lower, which can mask your smell and body temperature."
Zhang Xun shut his mouth tightly and looked up to see how the others were doing.
But all he could see was chaos.
These mutated bats are extremely aggressive, constantly attacking the crowd. After the protective clothing of the two townspeople was torn, swarms of bats rushed over and covered the two poor people. All that could be heard was the sound of flesh being devoured and torn apart, as well as shrill and frightening screams.
Todd raised his gun and shot at the roaring monsters, and other people who didn't want to become bat dinners also tried to fight back. But they were so fast and there were so many, that soon another person was surrounded by a swarm of bats. Todd roared and kept firing, making bats rain down from the sky. A giant bat, much larger than the others, swooped down from behind him, and when it was about to hit the back of his head, James pushed him away. The bat grabbed James' arm and chest, trying to bite him, but James raised his gun to split the ugly head, and all the bat's brains sprayed on the hunter's transparent mask.
