Chapter 12 The Sound of the Sacred Rhythm
With the roar, shadows appeared in the smoke and dust. Their blood-red eyes lit up in the darkness, and the terrifying screams burst out like a tide, like the sad song of the siren!
White Walkers!
They rushed in!
With the sound of swords breaking through the air, the soldiers rushed forward, ignoring the elegy of the white walkers, and quickly launched a ruthless massacre!
The flashes of swords and shadows illuminated the faces of the young men.
However, the number of white walkers was too many, densely packed like a group of corpses.
After the recruits were driven to the front line, they were directly targeted by the white walkers. They looked harmless, like a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
"Brother Lu, let me do it."
He Sai's blood was boiling, his breathing and heartbeat suddenly changed, his consciousness seemed to soar into the sky, and he felt tens of trillions of cells in his body boiling and splitting, roaring and releasing power!
In just a moment, a faint golden light flashed in the depths of his pupils, and he punched out!
"Gas-consuming heel!"
With a bang, the White Walker's jaw was shattered by him and flew high!
He Sai almost drew his sword instinctively and pierced its throat with one sword!
The drone watched him in the air and made a cold voice: "New recruit He Sai, congratulations on completing the evolution and reaching the first level, the origin level!"
"Brother Lu, listen to me, I will protect you, don't get into that rhythm!" He Sai did not feel any joy after the evolution, but was frightened to a pale face, because he could clearly sense the loss of vitality, as if his body was hollowed out.
This is the price of evolution.
After evolution, life span will also be damaged.
But it can be repaired by the marrow fluid of the sacred tree and rejuvenated.
Lu Buer raised his head in shock. No wonder they were sent directly to the battlefield. It seems that anyone who has mastered the sacred rhythm is capable of surviving here.
But after He Sai evolved, his temples had turned frosty white!
The recruits rushed forward. They were already very angry and desperate during the 76-hour training period. They were stimulated and awakened as soon as they arrived at the battlefield.
They attacked the White Walkers crazily.
"According to the Supreme Federation Merit Law, a White Walker of the lowest level is equivalent to ten merit points. This is a reward for life and death, and it is also a reward for protecting peace. Only merit can exchange for the resources for your promotion."
"Remember, the most valuable profession in the new world is the soldier. Everyone has different reasons for joining the army, but whether you are willing or not, you have taken on the responsibility of protecting the world. You are the guardians of the new era, remember your mission and glory!"
"Never retreat!"
The middle-aged instructor with white hair and beard also heard the report from the drone. In fact, he received the news from his superiors a long time ago, and also got the information and information of the two recruits in advance.
But as an instructor of the Third City Guard, he naturally would not come to pick up the newcomers in person, and even disdained to send someone to receive them, but he must always keep an eye on them.
This is the rule of survival here.
Every new soldier who comes to the front line will go through the assessment test of the first battle.
This is the best time to test talent.
"Request to connect to the sacred intelligence network to analyze He Sai's cell division limit."
He said to the micro microphone on his collar.
In fact, the Akash Holy Church has concealed a lot of information about the evolutionary path. The most important point is that the marrow fluid of the sacred tree can indeed replenish the vitality of the human body that has aged due to practicing the sacred rhythm, but the cells that have divided to the limit cannot be saved.
In simple terms, when a person's cells divide to the limit, only the marrow fluid of the sacred tree can save the endangered life, but it cannot allow him to go further on the evolutionary path.
Therefore, the number of cell divisions in the human body has become the only proof of talent.
A very small number of cocoon breakers are gifted, and their cell division times can break the upper limit, which allows them to withstand the side effects of the sacred rhythm, so they can go far on the evolutionary path, have more powerful power, and finally stand at the top of the era.
However, most people's bodies do not support high-load division.
Therefore, there is a gap even between high-level talents.
"Analysis completed, He Sai's human cell limit is between 45 and 65 rounds, and it cannot break through the human limit. If cultivated, it is expected to reach the fifth level."
A cold mechanical sound rang out in the headset.
The middle-aged instructor's expression changed, and he whispered in a low voice: "A cocoon-breaker from the land of rebirth? No wonder he has such a talent. Is he here to grab resources?
He looked sternly, watching the battlefield in the ruins. Those new recruits have already started fighting in the group of white walkers. Some of them are handy, but some are in a mess.
Even if they volunteered to join the army, they would be timid when facing the battlefield.
Ye Gong likes dragons, probably this is the reason.
And the number of white walkers that appeared tonight was particularly large, so large that it was obviously abnormal. If it weren't for Major Yuan, these soldiers would have suffered a bit.
"There is still one that hasn't awakened yet."
He said to himself, "Lu Buer."
The roar of the fireworks drowned out his voice.
·
·
He Sai was knocked down by a shriveled White Walker and rolled on the ground for several rounds before stopping. His neck hit the tip of the gravel, and the bright red blood oozed out, which was burning.
Fortunately, there was a bulletproof helmet and vest.
Although he had evolved, he still lacked combat experience. When his throat was about to be torn apart, a broken sword pierced through the White Walker in front of him, and the sword pierced his head!
Lu Buer drew his sword breathlessly, turned around and raised the muzzle of the revolver to shoot continuously. His shooting skills were not very accurate, but it could also have a certain deterrent effect. In addition, he could predict the movements of the White Walkers, so he could hold on for a while without awakening.
I don't know why, maybe his anger and despair were not enough.
He has not awakened yet.
"Brother Lu, why are you rushing out? It's dangerous here. Hide quickly!"
He Sai was anxious. Even he couldn't handle so many White Walkers.
Not to mention Brother Lu.
"If you want me to be a burden, you'd better wait until the next life." Lu Buer helped him up and walked through the ruins of the rain of bullets. The military uniforms of the two brothers were stained with thick blood and smelly corpse fluid, but they could no longer avoid the attacks of the White Walkers.
No, strictly speaking, it was He Sai who couldn't do it.
I don't know if it's because of the mastery of the sacred rhythm, the cocoon breakers who stepped into the extraordinary will still be attacked even if they are stained with corpse fluid, and even make the White Walkers more crazy.
Lu Buer's situation is better, but he has been surrounded by White Walkers on all sides. Even if he escapes, he has nowhere to run, unless he finds a place to lie down and wait for death.
There are too many, the number of White Walkers is incredible.
These White Walkers still have silk hanging on their bodies, obviously they came out of the cocoon.
Just like being attacked by that group of people...
"Wait, by that group of people? Why do I say by that group of people? No, something seems to be wrong. Why did the cocoon breakers mutate in the cocoon? How did they become like this?" Lu Buer's head was splitting, and there seemed to be a blank in his memory.
Just at this moment, a white walker rushed forward and grabbed his ankle!
"Brother Lu, be careful!"
Now He Sai has fully evolved in physical fitness and senses. He found something wrong at the first time, took out his revolver and fired a burst of shots, smashing the face of the white walker.
However, Lu Buer's ankle had been pierced by the claws. He endured the pain and turned around, and inserted his sword into the back of its neck with his backhand, piercing the cervical vertebrae fiercely, and then killed it completely.
The soldiers here are basically fighting in close combat. Their swordsmanship or knife skills are obviously trained. Only the two rookies are still fighting with the most primitive methods.
Of course, the reason why the two of them are in a difficult battle is that one of them has not evolved yet.
The two brothers supported each other and moved forward. He Sai held the knife in both hands and hacked at the left side. Lu Buer held two revolvers and fired to cover him. When they were in elementary school, they were bullied by the older kids. They were beaten together and beat others together.
However, bullets can't withstand such consumption, especially in the hands of people with poor shooting skills.
If it was Officer An, he could do better.
Lu Buer watched the bullets run out. Under the scream of a white walker, he smashed its head with gravel, and his shoulder blade was pierced, and blood flowed out.
"He Sai, I can't do it anymore. Go quickly."
His eyes were black for a while, and he was exhausted due to too much blood loss.
More importantly, it was almost 24 hours.
His cancer pain basically broke out at regular times every day.
It was okay to just stand in the training period, but it would be really fatal if it broke out on the battlefield, especially since he hadn't rested well in the past three days.
Very weak.
I can't hold my brother back any longer.
A White Walker attacked him from behind, but was kicked away.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
He Sai carried him on his back with red eyes, shouting: "I promised my uncle and aunt that I would take good care of you. Just because you don't mention something doesn't mean I have forgotten it. When my family lost money in business, it was your parents who helped to advance 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, otherwise my house would have been auctioned off long ago. I have always felt sorry for you all these years..."
He picked up the two swords viciously: "After all, that is the money for your medical treatment."
The blade broke through the air and drew arcs in the cold wind.
The necks of the White Walkers were torn, and the thick and fishy blood spurted out.
Vertical chop, horizontal sweep, vertical chop, diagonal pick!
The simplest swordsmanship has amazing lethality under the blessing of power.
He Sai rushed around like a mad bear, trying to find a safe place to rest in the ruins, but all he could see were White Walkers.
There was nowhere to escape, no way to retreat.
"Seventy or eighty thousand dollars won't cure my illness, so there's no need to worry about it."
Lu Buer struggled to lift his revolver and hit a white walker with difficulty.
Two shots to the chest and one to the head, his marksmanship improved rapidly.
The number of white walkers pouring in increased instead of decreasing. God knows where they came from. It looks more like an organized attack, but this is impossible.
Because these ghosts have no wisdom.
More and more white walkers surrounded them, like a dark tide.
And they are the few reefs in the tide.
At this point, don't worry about morality, you can only run to where there are many people.
Only by relying on those experienced soldiers can you have a chance to survive.
"Where do so many white walkers come from?"
"Something is wrong, quickly request support!"
"Major Hara Haru, Instructor Kashiwagi! Request support!"
He Sai carried Lu Buer on his back and hacked all the way, but found that these high-level talents could not withstand the attack of the white walkers and were forced to retreat step by step. For a while, he didn't know what to do.
However, at this moment, the earth shook violently.
A huge black shadow suddenly rushed over.
The black shadow that rushed over directly flipped the two of them out, and then slammed hard on the broken stone wall, shaking them dizzy.
"The number of white walkers tonight exceeded expectations, and the mission level has been upgraded!"
The drone issued a cold notification.
It was an exceptionally strong white walker.
Muscles were knotted and the face was hideous.
Obviously an outlier among this group of white walkers!
He Sai was directly pierced through the lower abdomen by a steel bar. The process was so fast that he didn't even react. When he lowered his head, he saw blood everywhere.
"He Sai!"
Lu Buer was dizzy and crawled on the ground, anxious.
Because he saw that the exceptionally strong white walker was running wildly. It was about two meters tall and weighed at least 150 kilograms. It was like a heavy tank. Even its kind were trampled under its feet and crushed to death on the spot.
The target of this monster was He Sai who couldn't escape!
"Brother Lu, I may not be able to survive."
He Sai's voice became extremely hoarse. He struggled to get up. The steel bar was separated from his body inch by inch, but the severe pain made him lose strength on the spot.
He could only watch the strong alien smash through the rubble and rush over like a beast.
In such an emergency, how could the instructor not take action?
Where is the protection period for novices?
"If there is nothing else, I will die first."
He Sai raised his bloody face: "You will be the only orphan in the world from now on."
"Fuck, if we want to be orphans, let's be orphans together, and no one will run away." Lu Buer was completely angry when he heard this. He was a dying man and had no hope.
He really wanted to live, but he didn't want to kill his best friend.
If it weren't for Lu Buer, the burden, He Sai would not have been in a desperate situation.
He hated being treated as a burden the most, but in the end he still became a burden.
Death is not terrible.
But he didn't want to die so aggrieved.
Anger and despair filled his mind.
Finally, the sacred rhythm began to echo in his mind.
Lu Buer's eyes were dark, and the intense pain seemed as if thousands of steel needles pierced his brain. Every inch of tissue in his body was in pain, and the whole world seemed to have turned into hell.
And he was a lonely ghost suffering alone in hell.
The time has come.
The cancer pain once again entangled him on time like a devil.
He fell to the ground, his whole body twitching violently.
Just like countless times in the past.
Like a nightmare, like a curse.
But this time, he had another choice.
That was evolution.
At this moment, the depths of Lu Buer's pupils were filled with angry gold, and the sacred rhythm finally appeared in his body, and the frequency of his breathing and heartbeat suddenly changed.
Evolution... began!
But under the torture of cancer pain, he curled up and spasmed in pain, twitching and rolling.
"Why hasn't it evolved yet?"
At the critical moment, the middle-aged instructor saw that the situation was not right and finally drew the sword at his waist. If the recruit died under his eyes, he would be responsible.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped.
Dongdong!
As if responding to Lu Buer's anger.
The God's Seed that he had merged began to stir, and the rhythm of the sacred rhythm changed strangely. The burning ancient tree emerged again in the depths of his consciousness, and the black embers danced like a graceful devil, as if singing a dirge for the end of the world.
God's Seed!
That thing began to work, and the cancer cells that spread throughout his body were devoured by it crazily, and then fed back with a majestic life energy, forcibly transforming his body.
And his own cells were safe and sound.
So that's why the God's Seed chose him.
The Seed of God can change the divine rhythm and force cancer cells to split and generate energy.
Avoid problems with his own cells!
Lu Buer also felt the feeling of being reborn. He could feel that his cells were boiling and burning, like a boiling sea, with a surging tide.
The cancer pain that had been getting worse since the drug was stopped was fading like a tide, and the cancer cells that spread throughout the body were splitting crazily.
Like destruction, but also like rebirth.
"White Walker permissions are being opened!"
"Dark matter perception permissions are being opened, and the opening is successful!"
"Dark matter devouring permissions are being opened, and the opening is successful!"
"Dark matter evolution permissions are being opened, and the opening is successful!"
