Chapter 106: Talking Locusts
Richemont actually rode on a horrible mutant zombie bull and just followed the herd!
Everyone in the car couldn't believe their eyes. To them, all this was beyond common sense!
However, the herd of beasts outside had just left, and no one knew whether there were any remaining mutant beasts wandering around, so the people in the car didn't dare to make a sound for a while, and could only wait quietly inside, waiting for Li Feng to come back quickly.
Ma Tianbo had completely given up all his thoughts of resistance. All the things Li Feng had done had completely subdued him. He would never forget the back of him roaring at the zombie bull! In fact, Ma Tianbo still hoped that he could follow this powerful being...
Although the giant bull is huge, its movements are extremely light, especially when it carries Richemont. Richemont rides on the bull's back, sitting in the thick cow hair, just like sitting in the gentle waves.
While trying to restrain his own breath, he urged the giant bull to follow closely behind the herd.
After a while, the giant bull had rushed into the herd again, and Lifeng also controlled the range of his mental control on the giant bull, and buried his body deeply in the long bull hair, just like burrowing into a layer of mud.
After walking like this for about twenty minutes, we could see the shadow of a huge city in the wilderness in the distance. It was obviously the Chuancheng Fortress!
What surprised Li Feng was that after seeing the Chuancheng Fortress, the mutant beasts not only did not attack directly, but instead made a large circle and went far away to the southeast of the Chuancheng Fortress.
After walking for another ten minutes, they were already far away from the Chuancheng Fortress and could not even see its outline in the darkness. However, the outline of another huge object appeared in Lifeng's sight, making him so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth.
It seems a bit inappropriate to call it an object, because it is a huge cluster formed by thousands of mutant beasts gathered together!
In the vast wilderness, there were countless mutated wild beasts, all gathered together quietly. If they did not often fight among themselves, Lifeng would have wondered if he had come to a large ranch or a wildlife park in peacetime.
The size of this herd of beasts is at least hundreds of thousands!
There were mutated wild beasts, huge cattle and sheep, tigers and leopards covered with scales, pikas oozing with rotten pus, and so on. There were also tens of thousands of mutated birds circling in the sky, like a small dark cloud, completely covering the sky.
It was like an exhibition of mutant animals here, but they seemed extremely orderly, even forming square arrays of irregular shapes.
"Ah--" In the herd where Li Feng and the giant bull were, a mutant tiger covered with bone spurs at the head let out a roar, and its speed gradually slowed down. It led the mutant beasts behind it and slowly walked towards the huge group, then quietly blended into it and stayed aside.
The moment he entered the group of mutant beasts, Li Feng immediately felt a powerful mental pulse, like an invisible net that completely covered the entire group!
This spiritual pulse was full of majesty and tyranny, but also contained a slight soothing effect, which made these mutant beasts feel not only awe, but also gratitude and respect.
The master of this mental pulse network definitely possesses intelligence comparable to or even superior to that of humans! Richemont could sense this intelligence monitoring the entire herd through the mental pulse network.
If the mental power of an ordinary person is 1, then Lifeng's mental power is 10, and the mental power of the master of this mental pulse network is 100!
The change in magnitude brings about a huge change in ability. Lifeng believes that even if he releases mental shock to the opponent, it will basically have no effect.
What exactly is the core of this mental pulse network?
Lifeng quietly drove the giant bull under him, slowly crawling among the herd, heading towards the direction where the power of the mental pulse was getting stronger and stronger.
This giant bull had a very high status among the beasts because of its own combat power. Ordinary mutant beasts avoided it wherever it went. After a short while, Li Feng had arrived at a distance of about 20 meters from the core of the mental pulse.
It couldn't get any closer. He could already feel that the core of the mental pulse network seemed to have sensed something, and a circle of surveillance mental shock waves had already swept past his position. Fortunately, Lifeng was well hidden, and although his own mental power could not fight against the opponent, he could still protect himself.
After hiding nearby, he immediately looked in the direction of the core.
And this glance immediately made him see a shocking scene!
A mutant lion was standing there upright, looking towards the northwest, as if waiting for someone!
This mutant lion not only stood up completely, but also had a big bump on its head. It was obvious that some changes had occurred in its brain. And looking at his appearance, he was exactly like a human being, just covered with a layer of lion skin!
At this moment, a slight buzzing sound suddenly came from the distant sky, and then a huge locust was seen breaking through the air and landing in front of the mutant lion.
What surprised Li Feng even more was that this mutant locust also had a big bump on its head, which made Li Feng suddenly feel strangely familiar. At the same time, it spoke in human language immediately after landing: "Iron Lion, are you ready?"
The mutant lion opened its bloody mouth and roared loudly, "Steel Wing, you damned bugs, what qualifications do you have to order us to cooperate with your attack? Even if my king agrees, I still want to know clearly!"
Unexpectedly, the steel wing laughed like sandpaper rubbing against each other, and then said: "You don't need to know why, you just need to know that this is part of the oracle! Do you want to go against the will of the gods!?"
Hearing this, the Iron Lion restrained his attitude, lowered his head slightly, and said angrily: "Of course not, then, tell me your plan."
At the moment when the Iron Lion lowered its head, Li Feng suddenly saw that there were obvious stitches on the big bump on his head. It was like a flash of lightning passing through Li Feng's mind, and he instantly understood why he had that familiar feeling.
The heads of these mutant creatures were transplanted with human brains! This was the kind of thing he had seen in the black forest-like insect nest in the ruins of the steel city! At that time, he had only seen semi-finished products, but now there were actually mutant monsters with human intelligence!
"Very good." The mutant locust Steel Wing seemed very satisfied with Iron Lion's attitude. He nodded his huge insect head and continued, "The gods have issued an oracle. Among the seven disasters that will destroy mankind, the plague of insects is about to begin. All you have to do is cooperate with us and start a devastating war together. The group I am in is targeting the human fortress not far away."
After a pause, Steel Wing continued, "Everything you have done as the Beast King on this land has caused dissatisfaction among your allies. I hope you can tell your king not to forget that all this was given by the gods."
As he spoke, Steel Wing let out a low hum like a cold snort, flapped his huge wings, and flew into the air. In a short while, he had disappeared into the black sky in the distance, leaving the Iron Lion with a gloomy face.
The Iron Lion was obviously very dissatisfied with Steel Wing's attitude, but he did not dare to disobey the oracle. After a while, he fell asleep. Although he already had a human brain, he still had the habits of a lion.
The conversation between the two monsters frightened Li Feng secretly. Seeing that the iron lion had fallen asleep, he immediately drove the giant bull away from the herd, and when it was about to leave the mental pulse network, he immediately jumped into the wilderness and quickly went to where everyone was just now.
The plague of insects is about to begin, and he must bring Mu Qi's parents out as soon as possible. You know, these giant fortresses have always been the focus of attack. Who can guarantee that the Chuancheng Fortress will not be captured!
After a while, the people hiding in the underground minibus heard the sound of footsteps landing lightly above their heads, followed by the sound of tools digging the soil.
A few minutes later, the mud-covered bus returned to the ground. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Richemont had returned to its original appearance.
Li Feng pulled Ma Tianbo out and said in an icy voice, "Take us to the Chuancheng Fortress and help me find someone. If you can't find someone, you're dead..."
That afternoon, after going through many hardships and dangers, Li Feng and his companions finally arrived at the Chuancheng Fortress!
Chuancheng was one of the largest cities in peacetime, able to accommodate millions of people, and even tens of millions at its peak. After being transformed into a fortress, it looked extremely huge and magnificent, much higher than the Savior City.
The wall of the Chuancheng Fortress was about 10 meters high, and it was filled with heavy firepower weapons, including rocket launchers, howitzers, cannons, surface-to-air missile clusters, and even hundreds of tanks were driven onto the wall as fixed artillery guards.
There were countless machine guns and other things, and the boxes of ammunition were piled up like a mountain.
After seeing this powerful firepower, Li Feng did not feel the slightest bit of relief in his heart, but felt even colder. Because according to the information provided by Long Ran, several fortresses with the same defense level as Chuancheng Fortress have been completely devoured by the beast tide!
Ma Tianbo was indeed a small local tyrant. In a short while, he bribed the guard of a single passage with food and led Li Feng and his party into the Chuancheng Fortress.
A strong human scent hits me in the face...
