Chapter 15 Creatures at the Top of the Food Chain
The ferocious wolverine's keen sense of smell was indeed well-deserved. It had detected the artificial human's brain hidden inside the plastic and rubber. To it, this was something edible. So, Fang Senyan and his group found a headless corpse torn apart like a rag doll. Rubber organs, plastic blood vessels, and some strange springs were exposed from the wounds, which didn't look terrifying but rather doubly desolate.
After receiving permission, the three artificial humans under Fang Senyan silently surrounded the body. Like ghouls, they cruelly disassembled the corpse of their own kind, finding useful parts to repair themselves if they were damaged. Because the space in the Wasp flyer was too small, there was no way to consider the maintenance of artificial humans. For most contractors, they were just tools that could be discarded at any time.
During the dismantling process, all the artificial humans even used their mouths and tongues to suck clean the undried nutrient solution on the parts… because, for them, the program was constantly reminding them to save every bit of cost for their master.
"This is truly a cruel efficiency." Watching the behavior of these artificial humans, Fang Senyan didn't intend to vent his anger on them. Instead, he couldn't help but think about the mindset of those superiors who formulated their code of conduct. Why couldn't they give them some human dignity? Was such an empire, such a future, really the ideal society for humanity?
However, Fang Senyan's thoughts and feelings were quickly interrupted by an event. Artificial Human No. 2, who was searching around, brought back a bulging backpack. The straps of the backpack were broken, which should be the reason it was dropped. The letters "VK" were written on the surface of the backpack.
Looking at this backpack, a smile appeared on the corner of Fang Senyan's mouth. Aldaris's confident and arrogant words seemed to still be echoing in his ears:
"We don't need to bring any crushing extractors. They brought them. It's their honor to let us borrow them!"
"It seems I don't need to borrow them." Fang Senyan's mouth turned up, and he pulled open the zipper of the backpack. Inside was the expensive crushing extractor. The use of this thing was that when encountering high-purity pylons, it could be immediately extracted and processed on the spot. If purchased, it would cost no less than twenty merit points and one hundred thousand utility points.
Fortunately, although the crushing extractor was large, it was light. Fang Senyan's three artificial humans had no difficulty carrying it.
"Well done!" Fang Senyan snapped his fingers, took out a 250ml bottle of nutrient solution, aimed it at Artificial Human No. 2, and threw it over, giving a thumbs up: "This is a reward for your hard work."
A stiff smile finally appeared on the face of Artificial Human No. 2:
"This is what I should do, Master."
At this time, Artificial Human No. 1 inspected the broken backpack and came up seriously, saying:
"Master, according to some of the characteristics of the backpack and the serial number on the remains, it can be basically determined the identity of the contractor who was being chased."
Fang Senyan nodded and said:
"Speak."
"It's Mr. Ronnie," Artificial Human No. 1 said.
"Ronnie?" Fang Senyan immediately remembered. This guy was a skinny man with long fingers, possessing the physical talents of a pianist or a thief. He was an important supporter of T. Hedicury. His position in the team was close-range output and scout. He was an agile Awakener. Judging from the strength he showed, his speed was indeed quite impressive.
Now that he knew it was Ronnie, Fang Senyan wasn't in a hurry to explore his life or death. After all, the two had no friendship at all, so there was no need to take a risk for a moment's impulse. Fang Senyan now felt that these three artificial humans were indeed as described. Although they couldn't help in combat, they could save a lot of worry and effort in other aspects.
At this moment, Fang Senyan suddenly felt something strange. Ramtas was also looking around vigilantly. His thick pig nostrils were not closed, and he snorted out nasal mucus. Suddenly, Fang Senyan took a step forward. A light flashed in his eyes, and a terrifying minotaur illusion rose behind him. He launched Horn Fury without warning!
The grass flew. Fang Senyan rushed out at an extreme speed. He stepped out, and his feet deeply trampled out imprints. The soil sprayed wildly.
Fang Senyan slammed into the target in front of him but found that this guy was wrapped in a layer of indescribable rock shell, just like a Qin terracotta warrior. Fang Senyan grunted, as if hitting a reinforced concrete high wall, and the soil under his feet immediately sprayed out and quickly solidified, forming an isolating stone wall in front of him.
However, he immediately lowered his shoulders and exerted force, immediately smashing through the obstacle in front of him, breaking out of the wall.
In the dust, the +7 West had been unsheathed, slashing out horizontally in the air, drawing a shrill cold light!
However, a huge stalagmite the height of two people burst out from the ground, blocking the blade. Fang Senyan snorted coldly, and a knee strike went up, and the extremely hard stalagmite immediately snapped with a click. The stalagmite body, weighing at least several hundred kilograms, made a muffled rolling sound in the air and crashed into the grass three or four meters away, stirring up a large area of soil.
But in this stagnation, the second huge stalagmite formed strangely from the ground again!! Fang Senyan took a deep breath, and the Nightmare Mark on his chest shone, forming a strong clenched fist shape. Without stopping at all, he struck with another knee, forcibly kicking the stalagmite off!
After continuously breaking five stalagmites, the other party finally seemed exhausted. A backward roll wanted to escape. At this time, Fang Senyan smashed a curse potion on the ground, fixing him in place, then raised the +7 West and slashed. With this slash, the figure immediately let out a shrill scream:
"This... What kind of perverted weapon is this! Don't fight, it's me!!"
As soon as this figure spoke, the rock shell on its surface quickly dissolved and fell off. It turned out to be Bokan, another mage contractor in the team. His self-introduction to the team was as an assistant and long-range firepower output. Both Hedicury and Aziza respected him quite a bit.
Therefore, Bokan usually didn't think much of the low-key Fang Senyan, mainly because he was just a colonist. But Bokan didn't expect that this guy was so perverted. The storm-like attack just now was completely suffocating, and it seemed that people couldn't even breathe!
As the saying goes, strength wins people's respect. Although the conceited Bokan definitely still had trump cards, he also knew that Fang Senyan definitely didn't use all his cards.
Although the +7 West was now insufficient to deal with plot creatures, it still had a huge deterrent effect on agility specialists and magic contractors. That slash on Bokan's body also made him deeply realize the strength of this guy.
"You're too sensitive." Bokan looked at Fang Senyan and smiled bitterly, "I rushed over after seeing the smoke signal, but I was blocked by the Sunwheel Flower Sea. Those damn mature flower plates will spray a lot of sunflower seeds as soon as they are touched, just like a machine gun sweeping! One of my artificial humans was paralyzed by the attack. I finally rushed over, but I was almost killed by you here."
Fang Senyan knew that at most five out of ten sentences this guy said were true, but he didn't care what this guy was thinking. Now that the test was over, as long as there were no direct conflicts of interest between the two sides, there would be no threat. After all, the people who can come here are not stupid, and they know the truth that cooperation benefits both parties.
After the two met, they were even more courageous, especially when Bokan saw Fang Senyan very proactively walking in the front to explore the way, without any intention of shrinking behind, he also admired this guy's courage and responsibility, and cooperated quite well, because in his heart, Fang Senyan should be a strange stat allocation of main strength and sub-intelligence (because of dispensing potions + summoning), but he didn't know that Fang Senyan was used to being a tank, and it didn't matter to him to walk in the front.
At this time, the two had determined that Ronnie encountered the ferocious wolverine and was caught off guard, so he could only escape in embarrassment. After tracking for nearly four or five kilometers, they had reached a river valley on the plain. What was different from the Earth's environment was that very deep cliff valleys often appeared on the plain, and the rushing water flowed non-stop in the deep valley. The rushing waves would even stir up seventeen or eight meters high, which was very spectacular.
Judging from the traces of the battle, Ronnie should have returned here and fought the ferocious wolverine, but he didn't get any advantage. From the bloodstains left now, it could be discerned that Ronnie suffered serious injuries, and the blood flowing from the ferocious wolverine had stained the ground red for dozens of square meters.
At this time, Ronnie chose to escape again, probably wanting to temporarily avoid the edge and let the ferocious wolverine bleed and weaken. However, he didn't know the perverted characteristics of ferocious creatures, so he was chased closely. Fang Senyan and his group tracked for several more kilometers, and they could see that they had reached the edge of the plain, and they could see the towering mountains not far away.
At this moment, Ramtas suddenly stopped and froze in place. Fang Senyan also felt that it seemed to sense something, and a burst of strong palpitations was transmitted in his heart!
That was a fear from the heart! A tremor from the cells!
Fang Senyan immediately knew that some creature at the top of the food chain must have appeared. He immediately had the intention to leave, his face extremely serious. Let that damn Ronnie ask for his own blessings. However, at this moment, the wind blew, and a strong bloody smell came from not far away. Ramtas turned his head and immediately raised his staff and smashed it on the ground. The lush plants fell to the ground, and an incredible scene appeared on the open space more than thirty meters away…
