"To be honest, I have never understood this problem." Soman said bluntly, "My tribe settled here half a year ago. I had sent someone to search the surrounding area carefully, but there was no trace of the existence of abnormal creatures. But it was strange that a few months ago, a team that went out to hunt brought back a humanoid body. That was the first time I saw this kind of creature, it was really a terrible monster. According to the tribe who came back at that time, the humanoid captured a woman who accompanied the team without any precautions. They followed, chased the humanoid nest and killed it. However, the female tribe had been raped. Can you guess what happened later?" "The woman became pregnant, and then was torn apart by the child in her belly and eaten as food...is that true?"

"Yes, that's it." Soman shouted in surprise: "Why, you guys too..."

"You have only one woman killed, and my tribe suffered even greater losses. There are hundreds of women, all of whom were raped by the lamp man and died in the hands of their children." Tianxiang said in a deep voice: "Soon, what happened later?" "Later... Later..." Soman licked his lips intact and said in a hoarse voice: "The first human-like cluster appeared. But the number was not large, only about one hundred. Two months later, another group appeared again, this time there were more and more than a thousand. If the camp had not had strict defense measures, I'm afraid that many people would die that time... and this time, it was the third time, and I didn't expect that there would be so many of them... However, there is a problem that I have never understood."

"What's the problem?" "Where did those humanoids, namely the Execution Unit No. 53, come from? You know, when I first settled here, I had already sent people to search everywhere, and I didn't find any trace of their existence!"

"...I want to know this question too." Tianxiang frowned, and couldn't help but think of the large-scale attack of the Glorious Base. Like here, there was no sign, as if out of thin air. Suddenly there were tens of thousands of people... "Wait. No! Sign... Sign..." Tianxiang seemed to remember something, suddenly grabbed Soman's hand, and asked nervously and urgently: "I forgot something, there is a man named Wang Kuang, do you know?"

"I know that he is the son of the old patriarch. Although he did not participate in that rebellion, he instigated and led some of his tribesmen to leave." Soman said hatefully.

"He is not a human, but a humanoid." Zhan Fengdi's words were cold. "Humanoid?" Soman was surprised: "How is this possible? He doesn't look like..."

"Wang Kuang is indeed a humanoid person." Tianxiang explained: "He has been caught by us. You can see it with your own eyes and you may not know that there is a humanoid person. They are not the same as ordinary people. From the perspective of appearance, they are no different from ordinary people..."

"Then, wouldn't that be able to get into the hunter group?" "Yes, Wang Kuang is such a mutant human." Tian Xiang exclaimed: "It's not just you, but on the eve of the massive attack by humanoids, there was a mutant human who wanted to get into the base as an insider. However, we discovered it very in time. But have you ever thought about it? Relying on the simple minds of humanoids and the wisdom of a few mutants. How could they gather together and collectively attack various hunter camps? Not only here, we did not find any abnormalities when we first surveyed the areas near the Glorious Base. However, tens of thousands of humanoids gathered together overnight. Do you think it's strange?" "You, what you mean..." Hearing this, a look of fear appeared on Soman, Zhan Feng and Xiaotian's faces.

"That's right," Tianxiang said slowly: "I suspect that behind the humanoid people, there may be someone or some force that is secretly manipulating. Although I don't know what the other party's intention is, no matter what, it will definitely not be good news for us humans."

"You mean, other intelligent creatures besides us?" Xiao Tianqi said. Tianxiang nodded heavily.

"What would that be?" Zhan Feng said thoughtfully: "I really can't imagine that there are other intelligent races on the earth besides us."

"Can it be... the sea clan?" Soman unexpectedly gave an alternative answer, which surprised everyone. "The sea clan? How could it be? They have been helping all the hunters!" Xiaotian was surprised.

"Yes, the sea tribe has indeed helped me a lot." Soman said, "They gave us a lot of salt, and exchanged some of the guns for a small price. Even the current camp location was established under their guidance. However, no one knew why they did this. After all, such free aid is unimaginable for anyone. By the way, there are also the "referees of the gods" that are also their gifts... "What did you say? "The referees of the gods" were actually given to you by the people of the sea tribe?" Tianxiang's expression was extremely surprised.

"Yes!" Soman replied honestly: "Just when we repelled the second attack of humanoids, the sea clan sent five such things and taught me how to use them. Even the methods of making wind turbines were taught to me before."

At this moment, Tianxiang really hoped that Soman was lying. However, from the other party's eyes, he could not see any signs that could represent deception. He was completely sure that the Sea people should be on their side. From the earliest rumors that the Sea people gave salt for free, to the later contacting them personally and obtaining a large number of precious medicines, everything Soman said to now shows that the Sea people are indeed friends of human beings. They are also very friendly to hunters who are busy with survival. They can even know the dangers of human beings in advance and send some necessary support in advance. But if so, why don't they do it themselves and help human beings overcome these difficulties?

Perhaps, what is it difficult for them to hide? Perhaps, it is not convenient for them to take action on their own?

It is hard for Tianxiang to imagine that if one day the sea tribe cut off the hunters' supply of salt, then what would this world look like? He could not imagine how many lucky hunters would be able to survive by that time?

The sea tribe is like a supporter hidden behind human beings. He silently supports human beings with various hidden means and lives smoothly in the dark world. Naturally, Tianxiang couldn't help but think of all kinds of strange actions of humanoids.

Slaughtering hunters, feeding on human flesh, rape human women, and forcing them to get pregnant on their behalf... Everything shows that humanoids are the natural mortal enemies of hunters. Especially the two fierce battles that Tianxiang once experienced, it clearly shows that only one between humans and humanoids can survive in the world. Either you die or I forget.

So, behind them is there a mysterious force that guides them to help them become enemies of human beings?

In an instant, a huge chill ran through Tianxiang's whole body from head to toe.

"I don't know if you have ever thought about it. We and humanoids belong to two major camps. The sea clan is our supporter. Behind humanoids, there must be a powerful force as a backing. It seems that they are deliberately provoking a vendetta between us and playing with us in their palms."

Tianxiang's words caused a sensation among the other three. However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is the only answer that can explain all the events so far. "You mean, someone is secretly guiding and manipulating all this?" Zhan Fengdi's voice was obviously a little nervous.

"I don't know." Tian Xiang shook his head and said, "I just said that from the current situation, at least this possibility is very high. We and humanoids seem to be acting as and playing the tools of two higher-level creatures. In other words, they should be consumables in two opposing camps." "Wait." Suddenly, Xiaotian shouted suddenly: "Wait a minute"

"Have you heard this?" Tianxiang's pupils suddenly tightened. "Yes!" Xiaotian nodded affirmatively: "Even if you haven't heard it, you must have seen it. I think about it, where is it...it seems...it seems...it's right, it's there, the library. That's right, it's there."

"Library?" The three of them screamed in unison. "It's the library." Xiaotian said affirmingly, "There is a very old book there, I have read it. You may have read it too. The name... It seems to be... "Iliad"... "Iliad"..." Tianxiang murmured this familiar and unfamiliar name. Suddenly, he grabbed Xiaotian's hand like an enlightenment and asked hurriedly: "Are you talking about that Homer epic?"

"Yes, that book." "You're right...it's true..."

Tianxiang let go of his hand dejectedly and sat on the ground. Xiaotian said right, that book did say the same thing as himself. To be precise, there should even be the same plot as what he thought of in his mind. For a beautiful woman, the two most powerful city-states in ancient times fought each other tragically. Behind both sides, there were the gods they worshiped at that time. These so-called gods slandered each other to cast spells to help their spokespersons in the mortal world get the greatest benefits.

This is used as a criterion for judging whether their respective strength is strong. Therefore, the war is not so much a war between humans, but rather a disaster caused by the gods for their own interests. Because, during the war, all the gods did not even have the smallest injuries. However, the casualties of humans who acted as pawns must be calculated in tens of thousands. The battle between hunters and humanoids is so similar to the story told in the book. Tianxiang can even find many things that scare him from it.

The mutant humans that were once captured in the Glorious Base claimed before their death: "The revenge of the gods, the wrath of the gods" and so on.

In the current cold water camp, Soman also obtained powerful weapons before the war: "Referee of Gods and Earths". Indeed, the mysterious sea clan is like a god-like existence to ordinary hunters. They have salt in their hands, and they can live and die for all hunters. But they have no choice.

On the other hand, is there another "god" behind them?

"Being tricked." In an instant, Tianxiang's mind was only these three words left.

Not only him, but the other three people also had the same idea. "What should we do?" After a long time, as if to break the suffocating cold situation, Soman struggled to raise this problem that must be solved.

Tianxiang's mind was in a mess. He really didn't know how to answer. He just felt that even if he knew the truth about everything, so what? The technological power of the Hai people has seen. Not to mention whether the other party has a complete military agency, even if there is no one, he will not be able to match it with the mysterious teleportation machine alone. As for humanoids, let alone. Although it seems that the hunters are in the upper hand in the fight, humanoid breeding is still a mystery after all. Where are their gathering places? How do they gather together? How powerful are the mysterious power behind them... All questions have no answers. Moreover, all the things so far are just their own guesses.

"Soman...how do you contact the sea clan?" After a while, Tianxiang led to a seemingly reasonable clue from the chaos.

"There is a ruin to the south of the camp. As long as you send someone there, at most, the sea clan will appear in half a day." Tianxiang nodded silently. This method is actually exactly the same as what he knows. Thinking of this, he raised his head gently and sighed: "Let's do it! Tomorrow morning, arrange a few people to contact the sea clan. I think there are some answers that you still have to look for from them."

"Oh? What do you want to do?" Zhan Fengqi said.

"It's very simple, ask them for something." "I want something?" Soman said in surprise. "What do you want?"

"arms."

"What weapon?" Xiaotian asked. "No matter what weapon, as long as it is a weapon." Tianxiang closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Since they can send out such a powerful weapon as the "Judgement of the Gods", then there must be better, better, and stronger weapons. No matter what it is, as long as they give it. Even if they don't give it, they have to give it something else."

"This...this...this...this...this...this...this...this suddenly came to Soman's mind with two inexplicable words - "Robber".

"If my speculation is correct, the sea clan will definitely meet these requirements. It's like the last time we forced the medicine. After all, we are the targets of their support." Tianxiang said confidently.

"But, what excuse should we use to ask for it?" Xiaotian was a little worried. "People are the best excuse." Tianxiang said casually: "There are so many people who come to this battle, and we ourselves have suffered heavy losses. Although the "referee of the gods" is powerful, it takes a lot of time to recharge it once. They must be very clear about these issues, so they will definitely not refuse our requests. What's more, even if we have to use us as guns, we have to give some benefits." When he said these last few sentences, Tianxiang's expression became a bit ferocious. Zhan Feng and the other two agreed with this. After all, even if the honest and loyal person knows that he is being used by others, his anger and dissatisfaction may not be able to win over it no matter how much benefit he is.

Tianxiang knew that he was helpless to do this. The current clan cannot compete with the sea clan, let alone the mysterious power behind the humanoid. The only solution is to carefully preserve and expand its strength in this completely invisible vortex. Although the sea clan is very kind to him at present, what about the future? Who can guarantee that those guys who are invisible will not turn against each other?

In contrast, another question that Tianxiang Xinmeng has always been doubted is less important.

Since Soman is also a "pathfinder", why can't he sense the same genes in him? If it was because he was infected by phagocytocytes and caused such a situation, would he continue to obey the tacit understanding of free choice between the "pathfinders"? In contrast, Tianxiang still feels that the latter question is more attractive to him. After all, if one day, he meets a "pathfinder" who has to be led by him, and he is also infected by phagocytocytes and can independently command the brain to refuse to obey this genetic command from the body...

→Section 115-City←

Thinking of this, Tianxiang couldn't help but feel nervous and surprised. The nervousness was because he was afraid that others would know the secret. The surprise was because until now, he seemed to be the only one who thought of this problem. It was late at night, except for the guards standing on the tower guards, the rest of the Hanshui Camp had already been immersed in the sweet dream after the victory of the Great War. Next to their bed, there were a few spear guns that were easy to reach, or one that was already there.

After being equipped with arrows, small crossbows can be fired at any time. Because they knew that if they were not careful, death would often come when they were most unintentional. Tianxiang did not sleep either. After gently covering Soman with warm felt, he walked alone to a wind turbine in the center of the camp. He wanted to figure out what kind of weapon the powerful "Referee of the Gods" was? Why did so much energy be needed for supply.

However, when he just lifted the rain cloth covering it, the object that caught his eyes was shocked. When it was launched during the day, Tianxiang was far away from here, so he only had a rough understanding of this weapon. However, when he observed at such a close distance, he was surprised to find that the weapon in front of him was actually a brand new product with engine oil. Judging from the traces on various metal connection points, the manufacturing time should not be very long. Moreover, Tianxiang had long known its name from some military books. "What "Referee of the Gods and Earth" is clearly a small diffusion particle cannon. It belongs to the late stage of the World War. The gunfire weapon commonly used in major earth camps."

For a moment, Tianxiang couldn't help but think of a very strange question. "If the power of this weapon is in the eyes of a hunter who does not know any ancient technology, it is indeed a huge unknown force. It is understandable that the explanation of ascribed to the gods is also evident. However, from all the sea tribes he had accepted, they seemed to be well-versed in all the forgotten ancient knowledge. So, can we guess this way that the sea tribes are probably an ancient human who had to move their residence to the ocean in order to avoid the fire of war?" Of course, there will be no answer to such a question.

A few hours later, with full of doubts, Tianxiang walked into the clan leader's room and woke everyone up. He thought carefully that today's contact with the sea tribe must be hosted by Soman. After all, this is the territory of the Hanshui people. If you come forward, you may mess up the matter." Remember, please ask them for more things. Try to ask them for small weapons that are powerful, energy-consuming, lightweight and easy to carry. If they want to give some large fixed weapons, of course we are very welcome. If they do not accept these requests, then change to some other things. Medicines, food, and clothes

, Everything is fine. Let us say that our difficulties are more serious, let them see the piles of dead humans. By the way, bring a few seriously injured tribe members and wipe them with blood in advance, which will look even more miserable and pitiful. And you. You can untie the bandages on your body to let them understand our current situation. In short, use all means to get something helpful to us from the sea tribe. Never come back empty-handedly." After hearing these words, Soman didn't know whether he should cry or laugh...

Tianxiang did not let any dragon clan member, including Zhan Feng Ye Xiaotian, come forward. No one could guarantee what kind of reaction would the sea clan find if there were foreigners on the venue.

However, he did not let his subordinates stay idle. At about seven o'clock in the morning, Tianxiang woke up his tribe members one by one. He let them come to the camp gate, take out the knife carrying the ground beside them, and peel off the skin of the dead humanoid with interest. "We must hold on, it's getting colder now. If this continues, all these corpses will be frozen in a few days. At that time, let alone peeling, you can't even chew with your teeth."

An hour later, when the staggering Soman led a group of tribe members who had passed through "disguise" and were about to walk out of the camp and head towards the ruins, Tianxiang gave this explanation.

At this time, at least more than two thousand dead humanoids were stripped into naked pigs.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm doing it for your own good. These are the best furs. With them, at least this winter, we won't be frozen." Tianxiang can always find the most reasonable explanation for his behavior.

Zhan Feng and Xiaotian were already immune to this. Therefore, they just peeled their heads without saying a word. Only Soman was left standing alone, surprised for a long time without disturbing his mouth... In his opinion, although Tianxiang's explanation was full of reasons, what is the difference between such behavior and the ancient corpse thieves?

Soman took away two hundred people, except for the necessary support personnel, the rest were disabled and wounded people who lost their hands and feet in the battle. The speed of such a team can be imagined. However, until the evening, there was still no news from them. Just as Tian Xiang was walking back and forth restlessly, just as he was about to send some hunters to search, he suddenly felt that a faint energy fluctuation came from the far-reaching thought detection final point.

"Soman, Hanshui Ren"" Tianxiang carefully judged the difference in the weak energy. What surprised him was that in addition to these people who should have come back long ago, there was another alternative biological energy wave that he was very familiar with. Negative insects (the insects are a word, and I can't type the bird), a large number of negative insects and 1,000 negative insects and 1,000 negative insects and 1,000 heads are slowly coming from the direction of the ruins.

"Zhan Feng, Xiaotian, hurry up, tell all of our tribe members to hide in each room immediately. Remember, no one is allowed to speak without my orders." After saying that, Tianxiang hugged and quickly entered the clan leader's hut where Soman lived. Lying in front of the fire, he closed his eyes comfortably and comfortably. At this time, he could not come forward. Who knows whether these sea tribe members would suddenly change their minds instead of doing this, it would be better to wait until everything is done before talking.

I don't know how long it took. When Tianxiang was awakened from his sleep in a daze, the sea clan who was escorting the car had already left. The remaining ground was only those supplies that were almost filled with cold water camps, which were terrible. Looking at the huge packaging boxes, Tianxiang didn't say anything. It was not that he didn't want to say it, but in fact, he was so excited that he could not say another word.

Guns, many terrible guns. From hunters familiar with m5g43, g18os, etc., to those laser rifles that can only exist in books and memories, they all lie quietly in subway boxes with a pungent smell of oil. Under the reflection of the surrounding firelight, they emit a dark blue cold light. Cannons. Various types of cannons that fire gunpowder warheads, amazingly powerful large-caliber long-range cannons, and various energy weapons that consume terrible energy, and several weird cannons that are not yet known for their specific purpose are placed smoothly on solid frozen soil together with the support frame at the bottom. The long cannon body and thick muzzle seem to be explaining the powerful power they have like the new owner.

The number of bullets and shells is relatively small. But this is not a problem. God knows what Soman said to the sea clan, and actually asked them to send four complete production lines. Of course, in addition to weapons, there are also a large number of medicines and clothing. There is even a resource distribution map marked with all minerals in the nearby area... All things that Tianxiang wanted, or even could not even dream of, appeared in front of him.

Looking at these things that should have made him feel excited and happy, Tianxiang couldn't help but feel frightened and even a little scared. "The sea clan can actually take out so many things at once and give them to others at will. So, how strong are their strengths? Also, from the performance of these weapons, they are almost all widely used in the World War. If so, the sea clan must still have more advanced and terrifying weapons than these. So, what stage does their technology have developed to? How many unknown secrets do they still have in their hands?"

At this moment, Tianxiang revealed all the questions in his heart to Soman and the other two. Suddenly, they were in joy and fell into deep thought. "What should we do now?" After a long time, Soman spoke. To be honest, except for the days when he was imprisoned, he felt the most powerless now. However, Zhan Feng and Xiaotian had no answer to this question. They could only turn their eyes to Tianxiang in the middle. Surprisingly, the other party's answer was somewhat unexpected.

"Merge it! Do you have any objections?" Tianxiang turned to Soman.

"You mean, merge the ethnic group?" "Yes."

"I have no objection." Soman's answer was simple and straightforward: "You are right. We are friends and brothers. In this kind of thing, we naturally have those who can live there." "Since that's the case, then we'll make up." Tianxiang took a deep breath, turned to everyone, and said calmly: "I've seen that map. To be honest, I don't know what the sea clan intended to let Soman build camping points here. However, from the map, the terrain here is really good. There are rich minerals not far away. Food is also easy to obtain, and it's best to use it for settlement."

"What do you mean is to settle here?" Xiaotian asked. "It's not entirely about settlement, but also development." Tianxiang nodded affirmatively: "In addition to the Hanshui clan, our population is now over 10,000. Such a number cannot be maintained, whether it is the Hope Base, the Glorious Base, or the addition of the two places. I think that since the Sea Clan guided Soman to camp here, there is naturally their reason. What's more, they gave us so many things for nothing, even if they had to transport them all away, I'm afraid we would be powerless. I think the Sea Clan was attracted by this, so they gave us all the assembly line and other things at once."

"So, what should we do now?" Zhan Feng asked excitedly. "First of all, it should be a little bit." Tian Xiang frowned: "If all these machines want to operate normally, there must be a large amount of energy supply. At present, we have no energy source except those simple wind turbines. I think we should build some kilns nearby and fire some wall tiles according to the model of the Hope Base. This will not only strengthen the protective power of the entire camp site, but also build a batch of houses for people to live in. Moreover, the weapons used as defensive grounds can also be well protected. This work must be carried out immediately. Zhan Feng will be responsible for it."

"No problem." As for the source of electricity, I think you still have to worry about it." Tianxiang turned to Soman and said, "How long does it take for those five wind power to fill the energy of a cannon shooting?"

"It will take about a week," Soman thought for a while and added: "However, it depends on the specific wind speed. Generally speaking, the greater the wind speed, the faster the electricity will accumulate."

"How long does it take to build such a generator?" "It won't be too long, but in terms of materials..."

"Oh? What materials are needed?"

"The wooden poles and frames are not a problem. The key lies in the metal bearings and masks in the center rotating part. If these two parts cannot be solved, they will not be able to be made." "Metal bearings..." Tianxiang Chenning said: "This is not a problem. You draw the drawings of the items you need. I want to make the base as soon as possible. It may be a bit rough, but it should be useful."

"What about the mask?" Soman asked/

"Mask..." Tianxiang thought for a while and said seriously: "Tell me honestly, is the material used to make masks really only human skin?" "How is it possible? Haha! Of course not." Soman smiled and said: "Human skin is just the better of all materials. Like sturdy ancient canvas, and some light and solid metal sheets, it's fine. The reason I chose human skin was for some special reasons..."

"That's good." Tian Xiang breathed a sigh of relief: "As you say, human-like fur should be used, right?"

"Of course." "That's it! You choose a part of the humanoid skin you peeled off this time and first create a few generators to supply energy. I will transfer a few blacksmiths to you from the base of hope. I think the metal sheet should be more solid and durable than any fur, right?"

Soman smiled, as if he had remembered something, and quickly said, "Wait, I almost forgot about a big thing."

"Oh! What's the matter?" "We don't have batteries." Soman said seriously: "To be precise, there should be no capacitor that can hold energy. If there is that kind of thing, the energy cannon can be fired at any time, rather than just like before, every time..."

"Is there no such thing among the supplies provided by the sea clan?"

"No."

Tianxiang frowned, and after a long time of day, he said with no certainty: "I remember that when I occupied the Glorious Base, I seemed to have seen some of the things you said there. I just don't know if I can use the `````````! After I go back, I will ask them to search for it as much as possible, or after your wound heals, go there and check it out before talking about it!"

"Boss, why do you want so much electricity?" Xiaotian was a little puzzled. "You are still a pathfinder." Tianxiang picked up his fist helplessly and knocked heavily on his forehead: "Energy is the most basic thing that ancient human civilization relies on for development. With energy, the machinery can be operated and more things that cannot be achieved by manpower alone. Go back and read more books! It's really impossible for you."

"Do you really want to build a new base here?" Zhan Feng ignored the pain, grinned and tilted to the side of Xiaotian, and turned directly to the young patriarch: "Hope and glory are too far away from here, will it be..." "You were wrong." Tianxiang said frankly: "I don't want to build a base here. But I want to build a new city here. Or in other words, a city that was completely built by the hunters themselves. This is also the first large-scale gathering point of human beings that reappeared from a completely undestructible world in hundreds of years. Haha! What do you think?"

"City" Zhan Feng said in surprise: "You mean ``````"

"I want to gather all the hunters together to create a new civilization." Tianxiang's words were full of confidence. "Is this possible?" "Why is it impossible?" Tianxiang asked back: "We have powerful force that exceeds any ethnic group, sufficient food, rich resources, and ancient knowledge that almost all hunting tribes cannot master. With these, we can completely rebuild a new city of our own. Believe me, this city will become larger and larger, and the population will become larger.

At that time, we will not obey anyone. Everything will be dominated by ourselves. Remember this, we are human beings, human beings who have been through billions of years of evolution and stand out from all living things on earth. We have the strength and wisdom. We can create things that cannot be matched by other living things. This is the most basic reason why our ancestors were able to become rulers of the earth. " "So, what name are you going to give it to this city?" Soman asked excitedly.
Chapter completed!
