Volume 8: A Trip to the Sick Village Chapter 371: The passage that does not exist on the blueprint
The servant of God was silent for more than a minute before he turned to the follower beside him and said, "The filthy flesh and blood of the heretics are not worthy of being part of the body of the great god...throw these things outside."
Ke Lan thought that the so-called throwing them outside probably meant throwing the bodies of the missionaries and the Seed of Erosion outside the space station. It would be great if the Greece, which was on standby near the space station, could recycle these "space junk". In this way, maybe the cause of death of the Seed of Erosion could be analyzed.
If the servants of God have nothing to do with the flesh-eating worms... could it be a completely new type of creature, and this creature, like the stalagmites and flesh-eating worms in the cave, also has an instantly fatal toxicity to the seeds of erosion?
The followers quickly packed up the remains of the missionaries and the Seed of Erosion into several large plastic bags. As for the scattered blood and pus, they were all absorbed by a sponge-like device. Even the floor was wiped clean.
In the eyes of these people, the blood and body parts of heretics were extremely filthy things. During the entire cleaning process, they tried their best to avoid contact with these things. Even the openings of the plastic bags were sealed by heating.
After watching the followers finish the cleaning work, the "God Servant" turned to Ke Lan and said to him: "You have passed the selection ceremony. I will take you to receive... baptism and training."
The three monitors on the "Copper Hammer Type VI" helmet were all aimed at Ke Lan, but for some reason, Ke Lan always felt that the one watching him was not the "thing" in the armor.
"Follow me." After saying that, it turned and walked in the direction it came from.
As for its followers, two of them carried plastic bags and walked towards the unloading area, while the rest surrounded Ke Lan.
To obey or to resist...that is the question.
If he followed it and left here, Ke Lan would lose Asano Akira's protection. Without Asano Akira, with his personal combat power, if a monster like the Corrosion Seed came out, he would have no choice but to turn around and run away, not to mention the existence of a monster that could drag a ton of power armor around and kill the Corrosion Seed instantly.
Ke Lan was a little hesitant.
If I follow it, I will basically hand the initiative to the other party. At that time, I will be at the mercy of others. If these people want to do something bad to me, it will be difficult for me to resist.
If they choose to resist, all their previous efforts will be wasted... Moreover, with the abilities displayed by this "servant of God" and its followers, it is still unknown whether Asano Akira can deal with them.
Ke Lan had no idea how many "servants of God" like this there were in this "sick village". Once the two sides started fighting, it would probably be a fight to the death.
By then, all the residents of the entire "sick village" will become their enemies. Let alone finding people, it would probably not be easy to escape unscathed.
This is a very bad option, and Ke Lan would never choose it unless it is absolutely necessary.
And basically none of the options other than these two are feasible... Ke Lan couldn't just say that she suddenly had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet and couldn't go with them right away, right?
Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that the other party has doubts about Ke Lan's identity. This is very dangerous, but it has not yet reached the point where it cannot be dealt with. The servant of God immediately took action and killed the Seed of Corrosion after seeing it break away from the "container", but it did not take any measures against Ke Lan, which means that it may not regard Ke Lan as an enemy for the time being.
After entering this residential area, Ke Lan checked the surrounding environment. There were no hidden cameras or eavesdropping devices in this place. He and Asano Akira had not had much interaction in front of the locals. The only person who knew that he and Asano Akira were of the same kind was probably the young woman whom he had silenced.
Asano Akira has not been exposed yet, and these people don't know that there is an "accomplice" of Ke Lan hidden among this group of "newcomers", and this accomplice has extremely terrifying strength.
Ke Lan felt that if the "Servant of God" wanted to do something bad to him, it could choose to do it here. This would not only save time, but also have a deterrent effect on other "newcomers", killing two birds with one stone.
There is absolutely no need for it to take me away from the residential area and then kill me... In other words, my life safety can still be guaranteed for the time being.
According to the "servant of God", in this ceremony, the loser will become a sacrifice to the "great god", and the winner will be chosen as a warrior of the "great god" - since I have passed the test of three battles, I should be the latter.
The so-called "warriors" should be radiation mutants like its followers. The abilities of these "second-generation people" mostly come from mutations, and the mutations are caused by radiation... If you want to be transformed into a "warrior of the great god", you will most likely need to receive high doses of radiation.
For ordinary people, this is no different from seeking death... Perhaps, being killed directly would be more comfortable, without having to endure the unbearable pain.
But Ke Lan is different. Due to the special changes in his body, in a sense, Ke Lan can also be regarded as a "mutant". He is not afraid of radiation, so no matter what happens next, he can never become a monster like these people.
Then why not follow it and see what the so-called "baptism" and "training" are all about.
Ke Lan tapped the floor lightly with her heels a few times, giving Asano Akira a secret signal.
The meaning of this code is "Stay where you are and wait for the signal."
…
Following the "Servant of God" and his group, Ke Lan crossed the entire Area B. According to the original design of the space station, Area C should be adjacent to Area B, but just when they reached the border between the two areas, the "Servant of God" took him into a passage that did not exist in the design.
"Was this passage left behind by the construction team when they expanded the space station, or was it built by the residents of the sick village themselves?" Ke Lan thought to himself - this passage is very narrow, and the four walls are completely welded with steel pipes and steel plates. The workmanship is very rough, and there is not even a single electric light installed in the entire passage. The lighting depends entirely on the searchlight on the power armor of the God Servant leading the way in front... Therefore, Ke Lan is not sure who built this passage.
Although this passage does not exist on the blueprint, the specific locations of several large areas will not change. Ke Lan silently memorized the entire route they took, and then overlapped it with the blueprint in his memory, and he was able to basically determine where this passage leads to.
Judging from their current location, they have bypassed Area C and the uninhabited Area D and are heading towards the deeper Area E.
