Chapter 9 The Dark Tower
Chapter 9
"We cannot say its name, it is said that it will be perceived by it. In fact, no one remembers what it is. They only know that it is a living body of a different dimension that entered with that invasion.
I don’t know if you have discovered that the entire civilization was broken by the war. In fact, there was no winner. Neither human nor orcs actually won. Humans lost everything on the one hand, but those orcs were no longer as powerful as they were when the dark invasion.
After the source of the invasion was stopped, the orcs were actually degenerating. After the entire war, there was no winner except for destroying the entire civilization. Most of the intelligent life forms that came with the invasion were gradually annihilated in the war and in the future. Only the orcs infected by humans were reproductive from generation to generation and became cancers on this land. We guess that the world itself may actually reject those things. So they gradually died. It was just that the orcs were originally creatures in this world, so they could survive.
But there is one exception to all this, and the last one. The last one of those invading intelligent lives. It did not know what means to escape the rejection of this world. It was always active in this world. He summoned and trained the orcs, formed an army, and attacked the gathering places of humanity everywhere. He tried to open the passage of the dark dimension again and let everything happen again.
There have been more than one leader in this world who tried to rebuild human civilization. But they all died in its hands. As long as the settlement is so big that it cannot be concealed, it will inevitably attract its attention. It will be far from destruction. Therefore, the remaining people can only hide from it in the east and west."
"Where is that Black Tower? It sounds like a safe place."
"Safe? Maybe. The black tower is something that prevents the invasion of the source. It was a defensive weapon built in the late stage of war, with all the power of the entire civilization. Of course, this is just a legend. In fact, we don't know what the black tower is. We only know that it never dares to approach the black tower. It seems that as soon as it approaches, its power will be weakened. The same is true for those orcs.
So the safest place in the world is around the Black Tower. Unfortunately, there is limited space and can only accommodate a small number of people. So only after the population decreases, they will gather new people to move in. A deformed social structure, but it is the spark of the entire human race.”
"This is really a strange world." Su Yuan was inspired and asked again:
"What about you? I've seen your marksmanship. Obviously, you are not an ordinary person in this world. I haven't seen anyone else here like you."
"I am a gunman. It is a profession that emerged in the wasteland civilization." The dark power invaded the entire world. The impact caused was actually much more complicated than imagined. Most people were directly infected and turned into deformed orcs. But there were some differences. The ancestors of us were also affected, but there was no external transformation.
In fact, this kind of transformation is difficult to explain in words. Almost all the technologies are lost, and we cannot conduct deep self-detection. It can only be said that our various senses have become stronger and even bring us a kind of mysterious ability. It is not easy to express in words, but there is a sentence among us gunmen that can be reflected. We do not need to shoot people, but we should take our hearts."
To be fair, Su Yuan’s first impression when he heard this sentence was the pretentious line of the protagonist of the movie. But obviously, Ethan used it here, which means something else. Or it means literal.
"Let me guess, can you lock the enemy with your mind?"
"Haha, you understand it very quickly. That's what it means. It's just that almost all the gunman died in day after day battle. We are the targets of its focus. The first generation of gunman was able to resist its black magic with his own will. But we can no longer do it.
It wanders in this world like an immortal ghost. But we are worse than the next generation. By my generation, I can no longer face it face to face." Ethan said this, his tone became a little decadent. He was obviously dissatisfied with himself.
"…..." Su Yuan didn't even know how to comfort him for a moment. He could not understand what Ethan said, what it was. He didn't know how to comfort him. But Ethan quickly put away that decadent expression.
"Sorry, I haven't told anyone about this for a long time. There are not many people who are still alive to pay attention to these things. For them, living is already very difficult. Well, the time is over, let's start. Are you ready?"
Su Yuan actually wanted to say that there wasn't yet. After all, the broken machine in front of him looked really unreliable. But he nodded.
"That's fine, be ready, when the shuttle door opens, you'll just walk over."
"It's that simple?"
"Of course, very soon." As soon as Ethan finished speaking, he heard a violent explosion above his head. The entire basement shook, and the originally stable machine flashed. Now Ethan didn't dare to turn it on casually.
Su Yuan grabbed the hunting rifle beside him with a look of pain and rushed forward. Seeing that the way home was right in front of him, someone was making trouble at this time. Su Yuan felt that he could shoot the person who was making trouble without changing his face. However, when he rushed out, he was stunned.
Not far away, a team of fully armed soldiers like modern special forces were forming teams to push the entire town. They had fierce firepower, and they were constantly throwing various high-explosive grenades to destroy all the buildings they could see.
People in the town are fighting, but they only have some shotguns and pistols, and many even use bows and arrows. The firepower of both sides is really not the same level.
"Let's go down." Ethan rushed out from behind and pressed Su Yuan to the ground.
"Don't move, this is its man. He found this."
At this time, a team of soldiers discovered them and turned to approach them. But they were facing the "gunman". Ethan fired his left and right, fired two guns in a row. Within a few seconds, he completely wiped out an eight-person team. But this time he did not rush out to kill all directions as Su Yuan imagined. Instead, he immediately turned around and hid again.
Su Yuan clearly saw that his hands were trembling, and he was afraid. Su Yuan suddenly understood, he was afraid of the arrival of that thing. A grenade flew in mid-air, Ethan was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand to blow it up. But his reaction was already a little too slow. The shock wave of the grenade explosion had affected the two of them.
A wave of air came, and they rushed back to the basement at the same time.
