"If there was such a thing, I would have done it long ago," said the clown. "It’s because Zeus, a cautious man with a strong desire for control, hates uncontrollable factors in his plan … and in his eyes, I am one of the few uncontrollable factors. If he finds my position, he will erase me at all costs."
"That would be troublesome …" Soap’s tone was full of regret. "If we can really release these monsters, we will definitely send a big’ suprise’ to Zeus. Isn’t he the most annoying uncontrollable factor? If these monsters run to the ground, the ark will be full of’ uncontrollable factors’ to see if he is uncomfortable! "
Soap imagined that his "monster ally" plan could be successfully developed, but the clown who walked in front suddenly stopped.
"What’s the matter?" Absent-minded soap almost hit the clown’s back and tightened the protective tentacle connecting him, so that he didn’t lose his balance and fall to the ground.
"Are there any dangerous mutating organisms nearby?" Noir immediately alert to end up with a gun and looked around nervously.
They are still marching on the waste pipe plank road. It is not ideal to fight against mutating creatures in this place, not only because it is narrow, but also because it is not dodging. What’s more, if the aftermath of the battle wakes up the giant moth soap and Noir overhead, they will be killed by the super radiation released by the giant moth, and there is no chance to escape.
"Not a human being" is the first time in the clown’s words. "And a human being who has not been eroded"
"Human? How can there be humans here? " Soap one leng immediately low shout a way "it won’t be Zeus sent people? He has found our trail? "
"No, it’s impossible for someone sent by Zeus not to be eroded." The clown shook his head and vetoed it.
"can you perceive that man’s position?" Noir asked.
"Just ten meters away from us."
"That his information can be perceived? For example, the person’s state vital signs class … "
"I can feel a general position and the degree of erosion of other bodies. His information is unknown," said the clown, "but at least one thing can confirm that he is still alive."
Noir hesitated for half a second and asked, "Shall we go and have a look?"
"Even if we don’t want to bump into him, we can’t avoid it." Soap skimmed the pie mouth and pulled a bolt to push the bullet into the chamber. "Don’t forget that we can’t stop and turn back when we go this way now."
"I agree to try to contact humans who have not been eroded." The clown nodded. "Don’t let your guard down … This sudden appearance is also an’ unplanned uncontrollable factor’ for me. In case we have a conflict with him, I may not be able to guarantee the safety of both of you."
"It’s okay. We have guns in our hands," Soap replied. "If you want to make sure it’s a man and not a monster, there’s nothing to be afraid of."
"Speaking of which, wouldn’t the undead crew have mastered all the information in the maze?" Noir asked again, "Have you ever found traces of human activities in the maze before?"
"Never," said the clown. "This man either entered the maze recently or he is more familiar with the maze and can avoid the route of the detection robot every time."
"More familiar with the ground maze?" Soap got excited as soon as he heard this key word. "Isn’t there just such a person in our plan?" Isn’t it just that the pillow was handed to the side when I was sleepy? ！”
"Don’t be in a hurry to be happy. It’s not clear whether the other party is an enemy or a friend." Noir seems to be relatively calm. "Even if that person is familiar with the maze, he may not be willing to help us."
"Go and have a look first." The clown made a decision.
The three men slowed down a little bit and silently touched the clown, perceiving that the "person" had stayed where he was and had not moved his position.
After walking around the waste pipe again, all three stopped and looked at each other-they all knew that they would have to walk a short distance ahead to see the man, and at the same time they would expose each other’s vision.
It is impossible to sneak close to this plank road unless the clown’s tentacles hang himself from the edge of the plank road directly from the square.
However, this "sudden appearance" way can easily cause too much stimulation to the other side and lead to misunderstanding-if the other side identifies the three of them as enemies, things will be in trouble.
The primary goal of the three people is to negotiate-after all, it may be a person familiar with the maze environment, which is really too helpful for them to take action. Whether to carry out the soap "monster ally" plan or sneak into the core area of the ark directly according to the maze that the clown originally planned to pass through will reduce the difficulty of action by several levels.
"I’ll go out first," Noir said to the clown and soap with his lips. He took off his weapons and body, gave his equipment to soap, took a deep breath and walked out as gently as possible.
A thin human figure appeared in Noir’s field of vision. The other party was leaning on the waste column. The left hand was holding a killed flying squirrel, and the right hand was holding an irregular piece of metal to cut the flying squirrel’s abdominal cavity.
This should be a male human, but he has no hair, pale skin and a strange and smooth feeling. No pores can be observed by the naked eye … just like some creatures with strong self-recovery ability scab off after severe burns and grow new skin again.
This man’s face is like a skeleton, and his bloody skin is tight. The skull surface shows the outline of the bone. His eyes are deep in the mouth, and his lips are thin and short, and his sharp teeth can’t be wrapped up. His teeth are completely different from those of normal humans. There is no difference between front teeth, canines and molars. The whole mouth is like a beast. Noir feels that even if he doesn’t rely on the metal in his hand, he can bite and swallow the flying squirrel with this fangs.
Noir took two steps forward, but the other party didn’t seem to see him concentrate on handling the corpse of the flying squirrel-he skillfully cut the fur and muscles, dragged the intestines of the flying squirrel out and stuffed them into a dirty small bag. From time to time, he scraped some similar fatty substances from the dirt and stuffed them into his mouth.
He seems to be very hungry, but he keeps human reason … It’s just like human beings in the original society, although they eat as much as they eat, but they don’t kill their prey and rush to eat directly … The difference between eating and eating is the biggest difference between human beings and wild animals.
This person is still wearing a very shabby beige suit, and the cuffs and trouser legs have been worn out. The armbands and the back position once seemed to be printed with black words, but now these marks have been fragmented and the roots have peeled off in a large area, and it is impossible to tell what was printed.
But Noir knows very well that this dress is absolutely unprotected.
Even if the clothes are damaged, most of them have been lost, not to mention that the man is barefoot without a helmet and gloves.
"What is this person not affected by radiation?" Noir heart out a question mark.
He has seen many miners who are unfortunately suffering from radiation sickness due to mining in radiation areas. The most obvious symptom of acute radiation sickness is skin ulceration, muscle dissolution and massive bleeding. Chronic radiation sickness is similar to malignant tumor, but compared with long tumor, patients with chronic radiation sickness will also have a lot of disgusting growths on their body surfaces-most of these patients will be sent to a place called "sick village"
But this man looks strange, but he doesn’t conform to the symptoms of acute radiation sickness or chronic radiation sickness-his physical condition doesn’t seem to be bad except malnutrition and poor hygiene.
The flying speed of flying squirrels is very fast, but I have just seen it in Noir. Since this man can hunt squirrels, it means that his skill will not be bad, which is not something that radiation sickness patients can do.
"Hello?" Noir took a step closer and took the initiative to say hello to each other
Noir, for a moment, the man jumped up from the ground as if he had been scalded by the floor, picked up the corpse of the flying squirrel and ran away in the opposite direction.
"No, this guy wants to escape!" At this time, the soap rushed out and saw that the other party was about to disappear. He quickly shouted "clown! Come on! Stop him! "
If you don’t say more about soap, the clown has already made moves-two tentacles shot out and wrapped around the man’s ankle and dragged it directly and then dragged him back by force.
"This guy didn’t respond to me when he saw me. Who knows that he ran away as soon as I said hello …" Noir said.
"He didn’t see you living in the underground maze for a long time. His eyesight has completely deteriorated, but his hearing has become very acute," said the clown
"This hearing is not keen … it’s only 20 meters away. Some indigenous creatures have already been alarmed by our footsteps." Soap questioned.
"He just leaned against the waste pipe with strong radiation, and the radiation released from the waste pipe will affect people. It is normal for auditory pathway not to hear our footsteps. Maybe he seems that this area is the territory of the giant moth and there will be no invasion of his powerful mutant, so he relaxed his vigilance." The clown said.
"Saying this exactly is what person? It looks like a ghoul in a horror story … "The man who watched the soap being made by tentacles but kept struggling said," Speaking of which, what can this guy be born in this high-intensity radiation environment? Won’t he die of radiation sickness? "
