Colonial Suit

Keby's face turned pale with fright.

What's the scariest thing in the wilderness? It's not the strange and unpredictable weather, nor the vicious and cruel robbers, but these mutated creatures covered in scales. If you encounter robbers, you might survive. But encountering these mutated creatures is a guaranteed death sentence. Because in their eyes, humans are just food, and there's no reasoning with them. And among these mutated creatures, the most terrifying are the mutated humans.

They are fierce, cruel, and cunning, and most importantly, extremely intelligent. They hunt in packs. Ordinary caravans have no chance to escape when they encounter them. They design traps and gleefully watch travelers walk into them, then brutally kill them, like fishermen reaping a bloody harvest.

"Master, you're not scaring me, are you?" Keby said, trembling with fear, while holding his gun and checking his surroundings. Judging by his timid appearance, it seemed like he would drop his gun and run away at any moment.

"I don't need to scare you," Blood瞳 frowned slightly, still carefully observing the mutated human in his hand. Seeing the mutated human still baring its fangs at him fiercely, he grabbed a rock and stuffed it into the mutated human's mouth. The hard rock immediately shattered the mutated human's teeth, and bright red blood flowed from its mouth.

The mutated human's voice immediately became much quieter, and the look in its eyes towards Blood瞳 also carried a hint of fear.

"That's strange, is their blood also red... Wait, what is this?" Blood瞳 reached out and groped around the mutated human's body, taking out a small metal piece from the back of its head. Under the sunlight, the metal piece emitted a sharp luster, and one end was still stained with the mutated human's blood.

"Huh? Where did this come from?" Keby looked at it and scratched his head. "I think I've seen it somewhere before."

"It looks like a chip, probably a product of the old era. This thing was just inserted into the back of its head. And it was okay?" Blood瞳 carefully observed it for a while, and when he didn't find anything, he threw the metal piece to Keby. Then he looked at the back of the mutated human's head again. He saw a small hole where he had taken out the metal piece, and blood was constantly flowing from it. The mutated human's voice became smaller and smaller, and eventually it was completely silent.

"It's dead," Blood瞳 reached out and felt the mutated human's pulse. He loosened his right hand, and the mutated human's body slumped softly to the ground.

"It seems that thing was very important to it. It died as soon as it was taken out."

"Maybe it was just an injury it accidentally received before, and it grew into it when it healed. Master, you pulled it out so forcefully, even a good person would be killed by you," Keby replied with a chuckle, seemingly carefree.

But what he said made sense. It's like some people get stabbed with a knife. If you don't pull the knife out, they might be okay, but if you pull it out, they will die immediately. This is common in fierce battles. Keby didn't know how many times he had seen it with his own eyes. However, it was the first time he had seen a mutated human like this that had a metal piece inserted into the back of its head and grew into it.

"Maybe you're right," Blood瞳 pondered for a while. But his brow still didn't relax. "But for some reason, I always feel that this metal piece is a bit strange. Keby, go pick it up for me. I want to take another look."

"Okay," Keby agreed and lay down on the ground to rummage around. After a while, he handed the sharp metal piece to Blood瞳. Blood瞳 carefully examined it, but still couldn't see anything special about it. So he secretly called out.

"Teplok, are you there?"

"Yes," the core's voice immediately sounded in Blood瞳's brain. "What's the matter? I don't have much energy. Tell me quickly if you have something to say."

"Okay, I just have one question. Do you know what this thing is used for?" Blood瞳 held up the metal piece in his hand.

"I don't know, but I can analyze it. This will consume some bio-energy. Are you sure you want me to help?" the core replied.

"Yes, I think it's important."

"Okay, then I'll take a look," the core said calmly, and then Blood瞳 felt a numbness in his palm. A small hole suddenly appeared, and countless tentacles stretched out from it, wrapping the chip in it. After a while, the tentacles retracted.

"This is a simple electronic chip. According to your statement, it's a product of the old era. It has almost no function. The only function is to release a fixed-frequency electromagnetic wave that is very similar to brain waves. If it is directly applied to the brainstem, it will stimulate the brain and produce a certain degree of excitement."

"The excitement you're talking about is?"

"That's right, it's what you're thinking, the bloodthirsty impulse."

"As expected," a cold light flashed in Blood瞳's eyes. "These mutated creatures are being controlled."

"Wh...what? Are you kidding me?" Keby next to him was startled. "Controlling mutated creatures. Who has that ability? Master, your imagination is really too rich. Ha... haha..."

He couldn't hear the conversation between Blood瞳 and the core. Naturally, he thought that Blood瞳 was talking to himself. But he didn't know that just now, Blood瞳 had already received confirmation from the core.

"Alright. This is not important," Blood瞳 didn't intend to say more about this topic with Keby. "Let's hurry back now. For safety, we'll spend the night in the car tonight."

"Okay, Master," Keby replied immediately, taking the lead and walking ahead.

After this series of sudden events, Keby didn't dare to be careless at all now. Although spending the night in the car would be very stuffy, it was much safer than in a tent. Especially after knowing that these mutated creatures might appear. Keby didn't want to stay outside for a moment.

Returning to the camp, the two quickly ate something and began to bury some simple traps around. This was an essential preparation for spending the night in the wilderness. Blood瞳 was an expert in this. He used a few simple small objects to set up dense spring-loaded nail spikes around the camp. These small things didn't have much killing power, but they had a large number. Once triggered, they would shoot out continuously and could also issue an alarm.

After finishing these tasks, the sky was getting late. After tidying up, the two got into the car. After the armored door was closed, Blood瞳 said to Keby.

"You keep watch for the first half of the night. Wake me up in the second half."

"Understood," Keby gripped the assault rifle in his hand, answering with some trepidation.

Originally a simple camping trip, after this encounter, Keby was not at ease at all now. He always felt that someone was staring at him. Even hiding in a heavily armed armored vehicle couldn't make him feel safe.

But Blood瞳 didn't care about his thoughts. After giving instructions, he lay down with his clothes on and quickly fell asleep.

As time passed, it was soon the time of nightfall. The temperature in the wilderness dropped rapidly. The armored vehicle was so cold that it could almost freeze people to death. But Keby didn't dare to turn on the engine. He was afraid of attracting the mutated creatures lurking around. He could only curl up in the turret with the assault rifle in his arms, shivering and guarding the surroundings.

But Blood瞳 slept very peacefully. The benefit of being implanted was not only having a set of individual soldier weapons. Even his body was strengthened. His resistance to harsh environments was extremely high. Although the temperature in the car was very low, he seemed to feel nothing at all.

But when a slight sound pierced the night sky, he reacted faster than Keby. He suddenly opened his eyes.

"Did you hear anything?"

"What?" Keby replied somewhat drowsily. "I didn't hear anything, Master... No, wait. I heard it. This sound... It sounds like the movement of an engine."

Keby was startled, and all drowsiness disappeared. He shouted excitedly. "It must be a caravan. A caravan rushing at night. We're saved!"

"..." Blood瞳 glanced at him dissatisfied. This guy, did he think that the two of them were already beyond saving just now?

The sound of the engine in the night sky became clearer and clearer. Soon, the lights of the vehicles in the distance could be seen. Blood瞳 and Keby got out of the armored vehicle. Keby excitedly pulled the bolt and planned to fire a shot as a warning.

"Wait," Blood瞳 grabbed him. He glared at him reproachfully. "Take another look."

"Oh," Keby scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, apologizing for his recklessness.

The lights in the distance became brighter and brighter. At this time, the two could already see that the other party was a convoy. And judging from the speed and manner of driving. It was indeed a caravan.

Blood瞳 nodded, giving Keby a look. Keby suddenly pulled open the bolt and fired a shot into the sky. The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the night sky. The headlights of the opposite side suddenly went out.

This is also the normal reaction of a caravan when encountering an emergency. After all, the desert is very dangerous. If they encounter a group of robbers. They can also reduce the risk of exposure. Of course, if it is really robbers. They won't just shoot casually. The price of bullets in the apocalypse is very expensive. Robbers would rather use bullets to harvest lives. Instead of wasting it on warning.

It is estimated that the leader of the caravan also knows this. So soon, a fairly strong man cautiously approached. He was slightly surprised when he saw Blood瞳 and Keby.

"Who are you?"

"We are also travelers in the wilderness," Keby stepped forward to talk. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know which caravan you are from?"

"There's no need to tell you this," the man replied coldly. At the same time, he looked warily at the assault rifle in Keby's hand. "What are you doing here, and why did you shoot?"

"Oh, this topic is a long one," Keby laughed and put the assault rifle back on his body. "Don't worry, we don't have any malicious intentions. We just need a little help."

"Is that so?" The man seemed relieved to hear Keby say this. But he still said warily. "We don't want to negotiate with a guy holding a weapon. Buddy, if you really need help, then give me the gun first."
