Start a core cabin

In the next few days, Duanmuhuai and Mary took a good rest. They never fought any ghouls, but instead traveled around. It wasn't that they didn't want to cause trouble to the ghouls, but But most of the ghouls have disappeared and are nowhere to be seen.

Of course, they have not been killed yet. The battleships of the Tribunal have been monitoring the actions of these ghouls and found that almost all of them have gone underground--well, this is naturally good news for Duanmu Huai. So he is waiting now, waiting for those ghouls to take the initiative to hide underground, and then catch them all. Before that... it's not a big deal to go shopping first, isn't it?

But for the ghouls deep underground, this is a disaster.

Each neighborhood has its own ghoul group. Over the years, they have divided their own areas, just like gangs, each occupying a territory to survive, and they are in harmony with each other.

However, the recent actions have caused these ghouls to leave their original territory and pour into the 24th underground area. This has caused a very serious crisis. After all, District 24 also has its own local ghoul group. A large number of ghouls came from the ground to the underground. It is obvious that the resources are of course not enough.

So they had to start fighting for resources and killing each other.

After all, there are no humans underground, and ghouls cannot survive without eating people. In the past, the underground ghouls would sneak up to the ground to catch a few people to eat, but now there are so many ghouls - it is estimated that even a few would not be enough. , which may require catching hundreds or more.

But will humans turn a blind eye to this?

of course not!

So soon, something more terrifying happened among the ghouls.

That's what we share.

Simply put, ghouls eat ghouls.

From a scientific point of view, this is actually normal, because human studies have proven that ghouls have a large number of RC cells in their bodies. It is this kind of cells that allow ghouls to transform and have strength and physical fitness that exceeds humans. And just to replenish RC cells, humans were chosen - of course, there are far fewer RC cells in humans than in ghouls.

So from this perspective, eating compatriots who also have abundant RC cells is obviously a better choice.

Of course, this is a taboo for ghouls, and the reason is very simple. Although devouring fellow humans can satisfy hunger, ingesting a large amount of RC cells is also harmful to ghouls.

Well, this is normal. After all, no matter how beneficial the trace elements are to the human body, they can still cause death if consumed in excess.

In the same way, ingesting a large amount of RC cells will cause ghouls to mutate and turn into monsters that even ghouls are afraid of.

So generally speaking, ghouls will not eat their own kind.

However, with no food to eat, they seemed to have no other options.

From this point of view, the ghouls in Area 24 are currently living in dire straits. They huddle in the shadows in pain and can only maintain their lives by killing each other and cannibalizing each other.

And of course... Duanmu Huai didn't care about this. To him, those ghouls struggling in pain underground were far less important than the tender and juicy steak in front of him.

"Well, it tastes really good."

Duanmu Huai picked up his fork, inserted a piece of steak into his mouth, and the rich beef aroma and overflowing gravy made him squint his eyes in satisfaction.

"Is it so fragrant?"

Looking at Duanmuhuai's movements curiously, Mary tilted her head in confusion, opened her mouth and ate a small piece of beef.

"I think...it doesn't seem to be to your level, Mr. Duanmu."

"Hey, eating a lot of meat and drinking a lot of wine is a man's romance. What's the point of eating small sips like a chicken pecking at rice like you do?"

Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"You have to know that in ancient times, I came in and said, 'Boy, cut two or three kilograms of cooked beef for wine,' and then turned around and went to clean up the tiger."

"Uh...why do you want to bully the tiger?"

Mary was confused when she heard what Duanmuhuai said. To be honest, when others said this in front of her, Mary only thought he was bragging, but Duanmuhuai - looking at the muscles, physique, and height in front of her, Mary That's all I can say.

"No reason, it's just the rule."

"The rule of hunting a tiger after eating beef? How strange..."

While the two were eating and chatting, the phone rang. Duanmu Huai answered the phone, said a few words, then ate the last bite of beef placed in front of him and stood up.

"Okay, let's go. There are no tigers to fight today, but there are other things to take care of."

"Ghoul?"

"That's right."

Facing Mary's inquiry, Duanmuhuai nodded.

"Investigator Yamen called just now. The Countermeasures Bureau is preparing to mobilize. It's almost time. Let's go. I want to see what skills the Countermeasures Bureau can show at this moment."

When Duanmuhuai and Mary arrived at the reservation location, they saw that the place had been completely sealed off, with thousands of fully armed soldiers holding firearms, and hundreds of investigators wearing white suits and holding weapons. The formation was quite large.

"Mr. Duanmu."

Seeing Duanmu Huai coming, Inspector Yamen hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. When he smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, his expression changed involuntarily.

"you've been drinking?"

"You have to drink some wine to have that mood when you fight. It's a pity that we can't eat cooked beef here, so just a little red wine with steak doesn't even taste good. It would be better if a few bottles or three bowls are not enough."

Duanmu Huai moved his neck.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"As you said before, according to the Countermeasures Bureau's investigation, we have determined that almost most of the ghouls have disappeared from the ground. It is certain that they are currently hiding in the sewer area below the city, which is called 24 District, it is said that it is an underground maze dug by ghouls, and it is also the last refuge of these ghouls. Therefore, the Countermeasures Bureau decided to completely break it in one fell swoop and eliminate the threat of ghouls once and for all."

"Okay, it seems you are not stupid either - what are you going to do next? Do you want to use poison gas?"

"Poison gas is of no use to ghouls. Their bodies are highly resistant to similar poisons. If we use the poison gas that poisons ghouls, I'm afraid we will almost die as well."

Investigator Yamen shook his head, and then took out a map.

"At present, the headquarters has decided that we will be divided into ten groups, led by special investigators, to surround them from all directions, and then gradually reduce the space for the ghouls to move. The Tribunal..."

"We'll be in charge here."

Duanmuhuai glanced at it, then stretched out his hand to point to a road. The Yamen Investigator took a look and then made a mark.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you..."

At this point, Investigator Amen lowered his voice.

"We have just sent a reconnaissance team, but they lost news soon. It is obvious that the ghouls below have already known our arrival. Please be careful."

"Don't worry, there will be no problem if you leave it to us."

Duanmuhuai took the map and glanced at it again.

"Well, let's go, Mary, it's almost time for a clean sweep of those damn bugs."

"Yes, Mr. Duanmu."

After saying this, the two of them walked into the dark underground passage in front of them one after another.

While the human army on the ground was getting ready to go, the ghouls underground also began to prepare for this battle. They all knew that this was a battle related to the fate of the ghouls. There is only one outcome, either they are completely wiped out by the special countermeasures bureau here, or they are completely wiped out by the special countermeasures bureau.

Indeed, the investigators of the Countermeasures Bureau are very powerful, but... what they have to face are thousands of hungry, green-eyed ghouls. They already want to tear the flesh and blood of these humans completely and kill them. Eat them all!

"Where are you going?!"

The blue-haired boy opened the door angrily and looked at the masked ghoul in front of him.

"This is the most important battle for the Bronze Tree, and as a leader, you actually want to retreat?"

"Cold feet?"

Hearing the blue-haired boy's rebuttal, the masked man glanced at him.

"This is not about retreating, and I have no intention of escaping from here. In fact... you may not know the real reason why the Bronze Tree came here."

"the real reason?"

Hearing the masked man's answer, the blue-haired boy was a little confused.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"You do not understand."

The masked man suddenly reached out and grabbed the blue-haired boy's shoulder, glaring at him fiercely.

"How do you think we ghouls were born? How did we appear? How did the ghouls before us survive? Have you thought about this problem? No, you have never thought about this problem, you just like A bloody idiot, not just you, but the Bronze Tree as well, you are just dreaming a sweet dream, a sweet dream that can never come true!"

"…………"

Facing the masked man's sudden outburst, the blue-haired boy also looked at a loss, not knowing what to say. He had never seen this man look so angry, and his behavior at this moment... made the blue-haired boy feel a little uneasy.

"You will eventually know the truth, the truth of all this. We are here to awaken the existence that is sleeping in it, the existence that is earlier than any living thing - earlier than the dinosaurs! It is our mother, the one who gave birth to us Our great god will awaken again, and as its children, we will become the noblest rulers of this world. Human beings can no longer threaten us. They will become the mother's nourishment and become one again!"

"………………"

Looking at the crazy-looking masked man in front of him, the blue-haired boy felt his whole body tremble. He had never seen him like this before. The madness in his tone even made him, a ghoul, scared.

However, the masked man had lost interest in talking to the blue-haired boy at this moment. He pushed the blue-haired boy away, then turned around and walked towards the depths of the tunnel, only mumbling to himself, as if It's like chanting some mantra.

"...From those sources of darkness to those abyss of the starry sky, from those abyss of the starry sky to the source of darkness, will always be praise to the great Cthulhu, praise to Tsathoggua, and praise to the unspeakable name of His praise is always a praise to them, the black goat full of forests... Yeah! Shub Nicholas! The goat that gives birth to thousands of descendants..."

"Yeah! Shub Nicholas! The black goat of the forest that gives birth to millions of descendants!"

The figure of the masked man gradually disappeared into the dark tunnel. Only his voice still echoed in the darkness. If you listen carefully, it seems that he is not singing alone, but there are countless existences in the darkness from all directions. , is whispering to himself, chanting, praising this twisted prayer.

"Yeah! Shub Nicholas! The black goat of the forest that gives birth to millions of descendants!"

The blue-haired boy stood there blankly. He had never felt that the darkness around him was so active. He seemed to feel the heat of life from the shadows around him, and the smelly breath spurted out from it, hitting him. On his neck, it was as if there was a terrifying beast hiding in the darkness, staring at him from behind...

"grown ups?"

A hand stretched out from behind and pressed on the blue-haired boy's shoulder. The latter trembled suddenly and hurriedly shook it off. He turned his head and saw a member of the Bronze Tree looking at him in surprise.

"What's wrong with you, sir?"

"I...I'm fine!"

The blue-haired boy shook his head vigorously, throwing away the strange emotion just now.

"Be prepared, we must completely kill all these humans!"

"yes!"
