Chapter 934: Alien Deserters
The alien race that Du Dian and others had been waiting for did not appear. On the contrary, the beast tide gradually became thinner and weaker. Many beast herds broke away from the main force and turned towards the surrounding area.
Du Dian and others encountered two groups of small herds of beasts retreating back on the high mountain where they settled down. During the battle, two injured pioneers were unfortunately killed, and now only Zasit, Jason and Du Dian are left. and Hailisa.
It was a bit sad that there were only a few of them left in the fleeing team of more than a dozen people in just a few days.
The thought of fleeing in Zasit's heart gradually faded, and he suddenly felt that he would rather be punished and stay inside the wall than here.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Du Dian and Jason were gone and he was the only one left. Will he become friends with monsters and gradually lose his humanity? Will it be impossible to even say a word in the end?
"What should we do now?" Zasit and Jason looked at Du Dian, even though they had long been used to high positions and independent thinking, they couldn't help being a little dazed at the moment.
Du Dian was also a little confused. He didn't expect such a massive alien attack, but in the end it failed to cause much impact on the God of War wall. In the past few days, they often returned to the outer edge of the battlefield to observe, trying to help when the alien monsters were strong. , but never had this opportunity.
Now that the battle is about to come to an end, obviously, such an opportunity is no longer possible!
And this also means that when it comes time for them to make a choice, they must either continue to flee, or disguise themselves as fallen soldiers and return to the Wall of the God of War.
In Du Dian's view, it is impossible for Zasit to return to the Wall of God of War. His watch was left on the fortress. There should be a record of his watch's action route on the Wall of God of War. He can only continue to flee and go to destruction.
However, his own combat system and Jason's were closed, and there was no record of their escape route. If they returned, there might be a low chance that they would not be regarded as deserters. However, the technicians in the border guards are not fools. They were sent to the front line. The battle lasted for so many days. There was no reason for them to survive. They must have defected.
The fate of deserters is to be executed, or to be sent to places like monster research institutes or coolies to exert their remaining value.
He sighed, feeling a little annoyed, ignored Zasit and Jason's questions, and sat on the hillside to meditate.
Seeing that Du Dian had no idea, Zahit and Jason felt a little cold in their hearts, and they all fell silent, thinking of their own way out.
Three days later, on the eighth day of the battle, the alien monsters retreated in a large area and fled in all directions. However, the battle continued until now, and the number of surviving monsters was less than one-tenth of the previous one. The offenses are very different, scattered like headless chickens.
After encountering several fleeing monsters in a row, Du Dian knew that he could not stay here for long. If he encountered some difficult monsters, most of them would die here. The monsters that can survive the war until now are either lucky ones, or have special abilities, or are powerful in themselves, and it is rare to see pioneer-level monsters.
"Let's go." Du Dian put away the demon body and said to Zasit and Jason after solving a reptile giant that escaped.
"Where are you going?" Zasit asked hastily.
Du Dian glanced at the direction of the God of War wall, his eyes flickered for a moment, and finally sighed, turned his head and pointed forward, "Keep moving forward!"
Zahit and Jason were slightly stunned. Zahit sighed. He had also thought about the probability of surviving returning to the Wall of God of War these days, but the result was obvious. Now that the battle against alien monsters is over, there is no shortage of border guards Now, deserters like him will most likely be executed, or sent to extremely evil places to mine energy and rare minerals for the empire. That is no different from death, and even more painful!
Jason clenched his fist slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Du Dian: "Isn't the combat system of the two of us turned off? If we return, shouldn't we be regarded as deserters? As you said before, we can find other excuse,
In the end, he was punished..."
Du Dian shook his head, "It was indeed possible to do it before, but I didn't expect the battle to last so long! It has been seven or eight days now, and the fortress has long been breached, and it fell on the first day. With our strength, how could we be in the wall? Persisting on the outer battlefield for so long? There is only one conclusion that can explain it, and that is that we defected!"
Jason did not give up and said: "We can say that after the fortress was breached, it was too late to escape back to the Wall of God of War, and temporarily hid elsewhere. This is not considered a direct defection, right?"
Du Dian sighed, "But the death order given to us from above is to stick to the fortress. There are only soldiers of the God of War, and there are no soldiers who survive. In their view, we have only one ending, which is to die on the fortress. If we survive, we will deserter!"
There was a bit of struggle in Jason's eyes, and he opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something more, but in the end he closed his mouth dejectedly and remained silent.
Zahit next to him heard their conversation and was a little stunned, "You turned off the combat system? How did you turn it off?"
"If it's destroyed, it will be closed naturally." Du Dian didn't say in detail, and said: "Go ahead, I can only try to move forward now, I suspect that the outside world may not be full of monsters, there may be humans, or other people. The intelligent life forms may be able to communicate, but not necessarily, such as the fire dragon race, if we meet, we may be able to cooperate with them."
"Cooperation?" Zasit and Jason looked at him suspiciously.
"The fire dragons want to invade the Wall of God of War, so naturally they also want to know about the Wall of God of War and the situation inside the wall. If it were us, we would also capture a few enemy soldiers and ask them for information." Du Dian said.
When the two of them came to their senses, a strange look flashed in their eyes, which was simply more than defection. However, this is also one of their next chances of survival.
"Then let's go!" Zahit made a quick and decisive decision.
Du Dian took Hai Lisa, climbed the mountain, and continued on.
As they were walking, monsters chased them from behind from time to time. Fortunately, they kept an eye out and avoided or hid them in advance. These monsters appeared to be very flustered while fleeing, and few monsters noticed them.
Crossing the mountains, plains, and wastelands, they met many monsters along the way, most of them were frontier-level and master-level monsters, and there were very few abyss-level monsters, which gradually brightened the gloomy mood of the three of them.
The tens of hundreds of abysses they met in the previous war hit them hard, but now they have regained a lot of confidence. After all, abysses are still a minority.
"This is the trace of the fire dragon alien race!" Du Dian looked at a burnt black tree in the woods, his eyes were dignified.
Zasit stepped forward, ready to reach out to touch and inspect, when Jason beside him suddenly said, "Don't touch it!"
Zasit quickly withdrew his hands and turned to look at him.
"This thing seems to be poisonous!" Jason picked up the dead branch from the ground, pushed aside the scorched bark, and saw that it was covered with sticky green sap. The sap shook slightly. After several people took a closer look, The color suddenly changed, and the sap was composed of countless tiny bugs, densely packed, and the number was frightening.
Although it is an abyss, they are more careful than hunters, and will not easily underestimate any monster, including a small bug.
A few people have seen the flames of the fire dragon alien race before, enough to burn the whole big tree, but now only a piece of bark is burned, it is very likely that this little green bug is the credit.
Du Dian stared at it, and slowly went deep into the woods, only to see that there were more and more charred trees in a straight line, which should be the route of the fire dragon alien race.
Following here, could it lead to the lair of the fire dragon alien race?
Thinking this way in Du Dian's heart, he suddenly felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart. He didn't know why he was looking forward to it. If he really met him, he might die, but he seemed to have an urge to take risks and explore in his bones.
Roar!
Less than ten minutes after the few people went deep into the woods, there was a sudden roar from behind, hoarse and high-pitched, like a tiger roaring in the forest, full of deterrence.
The pupils of the three shrank, and the hairs all over their bodies suddenly rose, and they immediately shrank behind the tree to hide their bodies.
The three of them are very familiar with this roar, they have heard it countless times in the past few days, it is the roar of the fire dragon!
Du Dian pulled Hailisara by his side, hid behind the big tree, stared closely at the back, his pupils entered the perspective state, and suddenly saw a group of bright sun-like light and shadow approaching rapidly, which was in the shape of a fire dragon alien race.
However, this fire dragon alien seems to be seriously injured, half of his body is broken, and he will use his feet to exert strength on the ground from time to time, instead of relying entirely on the remaining half of his wing.
Du Dian's eyes flashed, and he wanted to block it in his heart. But at this moment, he suddenly saw two red dots rapidly approaching behind the fire dragon alien race, the heat was low, just at the level of pioneers.
However, how could the pioneers chase the fire dragon to escape? Obviously, the other party deliberately suppressed the body heat!
Jason behind the big tree next to him gave Du Dian a wink, apparently also saw the chasing person behind the fire dragon alien race.
Du Dian signaled the two to stay still and not to make a move.
At this time, the fire dragon race approached quickly along a straight line, and before reaching the woods, a burst of wind burst from behind, passing by its side, and almost hit it.
The fire dragon alien turned around and avoided the blow, but was quickly pulled closer by another heat source figure. If there was no need, he launched a violent attack as soon as he got close, sticking to the fire dragon alien.
At this time, the three of them could see the battle clearly with their naked eyes. The faces of the two heat sources who were chasing after him were human, and their bodies had been demonized. One was like an upright giant crocodile monster with an elongated face. There are countless slender strange limbs underneath, like centipedes, but the strange limbs are like sharp knives, extremely sharp.
When Du Dian saw the woman with green curly hair, his eyes moved, and he thought of the two children he adopted in Sylvia's giant wall, one named Gabriel and the other named Teheka, among whom Heteka had green hair.
The reason why he adopted them was also out of curiosity. At that time, he had never seen a person with green hair, and he thought it was the exclusive hair color of some hidden families in the inner wall area, but after occupying the inner wall area, he had never seen anyone with green hair. , so I didn't continue to pay attention to Heteka, thinking that it was caused by living on the edge of the outer wall area and being exposed to radiation all the year round, but I didn't expect to see a green-haired person here.
It's just that I don't know whether this person's green hair is a change from the demon body, or it is just like this.
"Hold it!" The man with a body like an upright crocodile yelled and flew down. There was a pair of extremely short wings on his back, which looked a little cute compared to the fierce image of him. He rushed to the ground and picked it up. The black spear thrown earlier.
The green-haired woman's body twisted like a poisonous snake, and the slender and multi-legged sharp blades under her limbs swung, forcing the fire dragon race back again and again.
The surface of this fire dragon alien race is red flames, but there is a ray of golden flames inside. It is actually a fire dragon alien race elite whose combat power is close to the upper abyss. We are losing ground.
However, the green-haired woman didn't dare to press too hard. Whenever the fire dragon made a move, she backed away, not daring to be swept away by the flames on it.
After the crocodile short-winged man pulled out the black spear, he was about to turn around and attack when he suddenly paused for a moment, but then rushed out, holding the black spear to kill the fire dragon alien race.
Du Dian observed carefully, and when he saw the man's body stop, his heart sank, knowing that the three of them might have been exposed!
Du Dian turned his head to look at Zasit and Jason. Jason was still concentrating on the battle situation, but Zasit turned his head to look over, signaling in his eyes, as if he could see that he was exposed.
Du Dian nodded slightly to him and raised his hand to signal.
Seeing what Du Dian expressed, Zasit was startled. At this time, Jason also noticed Du Dian's gesture, and he was a little surprised, showing a puzzled expression.
"If we don't take advantage of the situation to attack, we will die!" Du Dian said directly in a low voice.
The faces of Zahit and Jason changed. They dared to chase the fire dragon alien race deep into this place. Their strength is obviously several times stronger than them, and they may even be the upper abyss! It can be seen from their offensive that they are faster and fiercer than the previous chimpanzee instructors!
But they are the three lower abysses, even if it is a sneak attack, they are a little timid.
"We can escape!" Zasit gestured.
Du Dian frowned slightly, escape was indeed a way, but he wanted to see if he could kill these two people during the sneak attack, if he could, he might be able to send their bodies back to the Wall of God of War in exchange for a chance to survive !
After all, these two people are in the upper abyss, and the people above will not think that they were killed by him. Even if they decide that he is a deserter, they may forgive them at their discretion. Send them back, maybe they can get the protection of the people behind them.
However, Zasit and Jason didn't intend to make a move, and they probably wouldn't have the energy to force them, maybe they just slipped away at a critical moment.
Without their help, relying on him and Hailisha alone would be too risky.
After thinking about it, Du Dian gestured, "Wait and see for a while."
