Chapter 91 Devil
Polluted land.
A medium-sized pollutant was wandering aimlessly in the corpse swamp. With every step it moved, the "grease" on its body would slide down a little, leaving a thick "oil road" on its way.
It wandered like this until it came to a place where corpses had piled up into a small hill.
Medium-sized pollutants have a certain intelligence.
But not much.
So it could feel that there was something wrong with the mountain of corpses in front of it, and it didn't seem like a natural product of a polluted land. However, its strong desire to eat overwhelmed its limited intelligence, causing it to give up thinking, walk straight forward, and bury its head in the mountain of corpses.
Soon, a teeth-grinding chewing sound was heard in this quiet place.
It's gnawing on the remains of these pollutants, or in other words, it's eating.
In polluted areas, small (human) pollutants are food for medium-sized pollutants, and medium-sized pollutants are food for large pollutants. Large pollutants, in turn, will become food for countless small pollutants after death.
This is a place with strict hierarchy. In the polluted land, almost all living things must follow this rule.
But, it's only "almost".
While the medium-sized pollutants were enjoying the feast, the mountain of corpses began to move.
The next second, a giant net wrapped with countless blades flew out from the mountain of corpses, instantly covering the medium-sized pollutant. At the same time, the special blades embedded in the net also pierced into the body of the medium-sized pollutant from all angles, and immediately a liquid like mud and oil flowed out of the wound.
Now, even if the medium-sized pollutant has a low intelligence, it can tell that something is wrong.
It let out an incomprehensible roar, and then its entire body began to wriggle. Tentacles grew out of its body one after another, as if it wanted to use these tentacles to tear the web directly apart.
And that's when those special blades came into play.
Hundreds and thousands of blades in the net started to operate at the same time. They made sharper and harsher metal friction sounds. Hidden in the blades were smaller chainsaws, which quickly turned into small chainsaw swords.
So many chainsaw swords were activated at the same time that all the tentacles derived from the medium-sized pollutant were dismembered almost instantly, while also cutting off nearly a quarter of its body.
Then it came crashing down.
Before it could stand up, one after another, figures wearing devil masks and holding larger chainsaw swords emerged from the swamp.
These people ignored the resistance of the medium-sized pollutant, nor did they care whether it was still alive. They just walked silently to the specific location, swung the chainsaw swords in their hands, and began their work - dismemberment.
The medium-sized pollutants continued to struggle and roar, but these people were not affected at all, and the hands holding the chainsaw swords were very steady.
It was as if this was not a massacre, but a normal job.
In less than ten minutes, the medium-sized pollutant was completely dead, and its huge body was cut into countless pieces by the demons.
But the work is not over.
Afterwards, the devils cut the body parts into half-human sizes, and then carried the body parts to a machine that looked like a blender at the back.
In a sense, it is indeed a blender.
The devil's army threw the body parts into the "blender" and then had someone turn it on. Amid the roar of the machine, there was the sound of the body parts being ground into powder.
Then, the yellow-gray grease flowed out from the port on the other side. Of course, an iron bucket had already been placed under the port.
When an iron barrel is filled with grease, someone will come forward to replace it with another empty barrel, then seal the previously full iron barrel and stick a "source oil" label on the wall of the barrel. When ten barrels are collected, they will be transported to the rear together.
This process lasted for two hours, which was much longer than the time it took to hunt down the medium-sized infected creature itself.
During this period, the members of the Devil's Army remained silent, as if they were performing a strange pantomime, until the medium-sized infected creature was completely dismembered and converted into source oil.
A leading man raised his right arm high, and a hoarse voice rang out from under the terrifying devil mask: "Check for infection."
All members immediately started fiddling with their masks and began "self-examination".
About five minutes later, all members raised their heads and gave thumbs up, indicating that they were not infected.
The leading man nodded, then glanced at the adjutant standing next to him. Seeing that the adjutant was also fine, he gestured: "Retreat."
Then, the team returned to the camp with their harvest of the day.
The camp is also located in a contaminated area, but there are special purification devices here that are enough for them to take off their masks.
"We have enough source oil for this month." The leading man said to his adjutant while taking off his mask after returning to the camp. "The big guys we killed today would have been enough to support the expenses of a division of Tianqin for half a year in the past."
The adjutant was a tall and slender woman. She did not take off the mask immediately, but said calmly: "But now, it is only enough to last for a month."
The leading man shrugged. "It can't be helped. Tianqin is developing. More and more mechanical bodies and prosthetic limbs are being created. They all need energy."
The adjutant did not speak, but turned his head and looked into the depths of the contaminated area.
The leader knew what she was looking at, so he said, "Don't worry, we are still getting closer. The pioneers at the front can already see the No. 1 marked site ten years ago. Once we deliver this batch of crude oil, we can rush over to provide support."
The woman was silent for a while, and then whispered: "Ten years. We have spent ten years."
"Yes, we spent ten years chasing after that team." The leader said, "Although that team had the most advanced purification equipment at the time, and that purification equipment was damaged during that mission, and we were unable to manufacture it afterwards, so we had to push forward at a greater cost...but other than that, we were far ahead of them in other aspects, but the path they left behind took us ten years to catch up. Fortunately, we are finally catching up. I know you have been waiting for a long time, but this time, it is really within reach, Ina."
Ina didn't say anything, still looking quietly into the distance.
Not long after, a devil member came hurriedly and handed a piece of letter to the leader.
The team leader unfolded the letter and took a look at it, his brows immediately furrowed.
"It seems that we have to postpone the task of advancement for a while."
Ina immediately turned around and looked at the leader.
The leader unfolded the letter and said, "This is a message from Bishop Holman. He said... the monster that hid ten years ago has finally awakened."
Ina fell silent immediately, but the leader could still feel the heavier breathing that even the heavy devil mask could not cover up.
The leader knew how long Ina had been waiting for this day.
After a long time, Ina raised her hand and took off the mask with a "click", revealing a delicate but cold face like a carving knife.
"Let me go back." Ina said softly, "I can't wait any longer."
