After the Federation took over this area, it has always wanted to decipher the cause of the beast tide in the Aisha Forest, but has studied for many years but has not yet figured out what is going on. The only thing that can be determined is that the beast tide will only occur every year. Appears at a specific time.
Therefore, some researchers believe that the beast tide appeared because of a special plant growing in the Aisha Forest. This plant will only mature at a specific time each year, and the mature plant will emit a strong excitement. The pollen from this affects the various animals living in the Aisha Forest, causing both carnivores and herbivores to fall into a state of madness, which in turn triggers a tide of beasts.
Although this argument is now the mainstream argument, many people think that it can explain the beast tide in the Aisha Forest, but some people have also raised questions, because if pollen is effective for any living thing, why humans are not affected at all, there is no Go crazy and become an irrational and aggressive beast.
Because of this, there has been no conclusion about how the beast wave in the Aisha Forest was caused. Since it is impossible to know the cause of the beast wave, naturally no solution can be found, so the federal government came up with a compromise solution. , That is, before each beast tide appears, a half-month hunting season is held in the Aisha Forest. All those who participate in the hunting season can take away any prey they catch for free and do not need to pay additional taxes.
The effect of this event is very good. From the first time it was held to the present, there has not been any animal tide erupting in Aisha Forest, and the Randy Railway that traverses Aisha Forest can also be kept intact under this condition. It will not be damaged by the animal tide.
However, this year’s situation is somewhat special. For various reasons, such as the political turmoil in Josh County, everyone’s attention is focused on foreign warfare, etc. The hunting season in Aisha Forest did not start, that is to say, in Aisha The various animals in the forest now are enough to break out an animal wave.
Because a huge part of the local reserve and defense forces have been transferred away, and there are only a few police forces in the area, the government officials of the villages and towns around Aisha Forest notified the villagers and townspeople early to temporarily go to the relatives’ homes to hide for a while, and so on. Come back after the animal tide period has passed. Those who have no relatives from other places can live in the small castle built in the past to defend against the animal tide in nearby towns.
Although there are still a few days before the outbreak of the animal tide, after the train entered the forest, the defensive devices on the train were all turned on. For example, the windows of all carriages had steel plates lowered, and the center of each carriage was lowered. After five degrees, two more locks connected between the carriages were added, and reinforcement devices were added. The guards on the train entered each official website of the train to observe the forest conditions on both sides of the train. The locomotive was even more axe-shaped. The firing pin was released so that when a similar tree fell on the railroad track, there was no need to stop the car and send someone to remove the tree, and the tree could be cut and rushed away directly with the momentum of the train and the sharp axe blade at the front of the car.
When the guards on the train were preparing, the security guards in the rear carriage were also watching the dense forests on both sides of the railway vigilantly.
Just as Leo and Sylvia analyzed, in the information about the Randy Railroad in the secret service department, Aisha Forest is also regarded by those high-level secret service department as a place that is easy to set up ambush, so it has been formulated in the secret service department. Several sets of related protection procedures and methods have been established.
I saw that at the moment the train entered the forest, all secret service personnel put on a pair of glasses that looked like windshields. Through the iron railings on the outside of the car window, he observed the surroundings. Leo could feel it from those glasses. Some energy fluctuations, it seems that these glasses should be some kind of extraordinary things that have been mastered by the Otter Federation and can be mass-produced, which can enable the wearer to obtain some vision abilities.
"It seems that the Otter Federation's research on extraordinary powers is not as shallow as we thought." Sylvia naturally saw these glasses. Although she didn't know what the glasses were, she could also learn from them. The breath of power exuding from the top, guessed the bottom of these glasses.
Leo did not speak, but nodded. After a while, he suddenly said to Sylvia: "You won the bet."
Sylvia was stunned, then smiled and said: "Have you found the ambusher?"
"One hundred and thirty-seven." Leo answered briefly, then fell silent for a moment, with a surprised expression on his face, adding: "They are all beasts."
"Beastization?" Sylvia sat up from the sofa, with a look of interest on her face.
The lycanthrope is a race unique to this world, and Leo also read the records about this race in the book. He first thought that lycanthropods were just like the dependents or mutants because of some kind of force that twisted themselves and finally mutated into nonsense. Humans, but in the follow-up related records, I learned that the lycanthrope is a race that coexists with humans.
Before the blood is stimulated, there is no difference between the beastized people and the humans. Even the gods cannot find out in advance that those people are the beasts, and those people are not. Only after the blood is stimulated, the blood will be generated in their body. Out the power that can be observed.
Under normal circumstances, the beasts of the beasts are some kind of beasts on the land, but there are also some beasts that have mutations similar to flying birds and sea monsters. For example, there was once a big pirate that crossed the old and new continents and was a certain kind of sea. A monster turns into a human. After he fully exerts his power, he will completely throw away his human form and become a huge sea monster with countless tentacles and sharp teeth on each tentacles.
Because of the horror of the lycanthrope, the lycanthrope is usually the target of being hunted down and suppressed in the world informed by humans.
But even such a powerful lycanthrope can still survive all kinds of suppression and hunting, and even a few countries with lycanthropy as the main body have been built in the old continent, and the lycanthropods in the new world are almost all from Those few lycanthrope countries, but most of them were deceived, a scam called the Utopia.
Although in the new world, the situation of the beasts is not bad, unlike the human countries in the old world, they will be burned to death when they see the beasts, but they will still be discriminated against, especially in the church, no matter which god’s The churches will call the beastization of beastized people the original sin, and believe that they have carried the sins of their ancestors from birth and need atonement. Therefore, almost all churches in the New World will establish an atonement group composed of beastized people. This is also a distinction. An obvious standard for the churches in the old and new continents.
However, what makes people feel strange is that the Haute Federation prohibits all churches, and also advocates the equal status of beasts and humans at the legal level, greatly reducing domestic discrimination against beasts, but those beasts are not in the least. Appreciate, no lycanthrope is willing to settle in the Otter Federation. They prefer to believe the church's saying that they are guilty and they need atonement.
Under Leo's scanning, he could easily find that there were more than one hundred lycanthropes in the surrounding forest that had transformed into lycanthrope forms, hiding in the forest, and moving forward with the moving train at a fast speed. , Seems to be waiting for the best time to attack.
The church country will send lycanthropes to the Otter Federation in batches. This is not beyond Leo’s expectation, but sending almost two lycanthropes organized by the Atonement Squad to assassinate him, which surprised him a bit. It seems that the church countries have regarded him as a thorn in the flesh, so they will not hesitate to send so many people.
Generally, there are only about sixty or seventy people in the Beastized Atonement Group in the church, and these sixty or seventy people are all fighters who have fully stimulated their bloodlines and gained powerful Beastized Power. In the early wars of the New World, these Beastized Atonement Groups were The battlefield has played a very important role. Usually when the war is stalemate, these fanatical atonement groups will often assassinate the enemy generals at all costs, eventually leaving the local army without a leader and turning the tide of the war.
However, with the emergence of powerful shotguns, the role of the Beastification Atonement Group gradually weakened, because no matter how powerful the Beastifications are, they are still flesh and blood, and the powerful shotguns are enough for their lives. Posing a threat, after a team of shotgunners scatter side by side for a round, they can often paralyze the combat power of most of the animalized Atonement groups. Therefore, the following battlefields rarely see the animalized Atonement groups, and the church’s inner Atonement groups are also Just act in accordance with the usual practice, and no longer focus on the cultivation of the animalized atonement group.
But this does not mean that the strength of the Beastized Atonement Group is weakened. If the conditions for joining the Beastized Atonement Group are still the same as in the past, then even if the Church Beastized Atonement Group is no longer the focus of training, the combat effectiveness of this Atonement Group will remain. Not weak.
The train quickly drove into the middle of Aisha Forest. At this time, a series of screaming beasts roared in the forest. The attention of everyone on the train could not help but attracted the past. At this time, in the bushes on the other side of the train. A few thin silhouettes emerged in an instant, quickly posted a thing on each carriage of the train, and then hid back in the bushes without knowing it.
No one in the train was able to notice this, and Leo and Sylvia, who noticed that the lycanthrope had already taken action, did not tell others about it. They were waiting like two bystanders. The show is on.
After a while, the train came out of the forest and entered a dense grassland with a depth of two or three meters. This does not mean that they have already driven out of Aisha Forest, but this small grassland belongs to Aisha Forest. In part, no one has studied why there are no trees growing here, but all grasses.
It's just that when entering the grassland, the special security guards all shouted out the secret signals loudly. It seems that they found something in these dense ones, and their loud shouts also spread to other carriages. The train company in other carriages defended. Although the personnel did not understand the meaning of the yelling codes, they could also hear the nervousness from the yelling, so they clenched their weapons one after another, looking blankly at the weeds that quickly moved past their eyes on both sides.
Before the people on the train slowed down, they saw the grass swaying fast in the distance. It didn’t take long for a variety of beasts to come out of the grass, madly slamming into the train. In the past, some fierce beasts even jumped directly to the protective railings on the still moving train, biting the outer layer with their teeth, trying to bite the railings.
It's just that these railings are made of steel. The bite force and tooth strength of these beasts can only leave marks on them, and cannot cause any damage to the railings.
On the contrary, the people inside the railing recovered at this moment after the initial shock. They raised their weapons and attacked the beasts outside the railings.
However, the beasts seem to have forgotten the pain, no matter what kind of attack, they can't let them open their mouths, and even cut off their heads, they still bite on the railing.
Perhaps because of the protection of the railing, I was able to attack the beasts in a safe place, causing some people to relax their vigilance. When they were not paying attention, the beasts who were dying to bite the railing suddenly loosened the railing. , Squeezed the most into the gap between the railings, bit the bodies or other vital parts of those who were too close, and all kinds of screams came and went one after another in the carriage.
At the same time, in the carriages at the end of the train, whether it is the special security guards or the special forces of the Ministry of Education, their performance far exceeds the defensive personnel deployed by the train company themselves. The crazy beasts even have the opportunity to approach the carriages. No, I was sieved by those powerful shotguns.
However, even so, their condition is not particularly good, because the ammunition in their hands is being consumed at an alarming rate. The captain in charge of the security work quickly realized this problem and immediately ordered to stop the design and use it instead. Combining close weapons such as long spears to solve the beasts rushing, and sending two teams to the roof of the car, after all, there is still something in the car, as long as you be careful not to be directly attacked, and The man on the roof needs to face the beasts.
Although the people in the carriage have tried their best to deal with the beasts trying to climb to the roof, the windows of the train are not made for combat after all. There will always be dead spots that cannot be attacked by the people in the carriage. The beast climbed from the dead ends to the roof of the car and began to attack the people on the roof.
If only a few beasts attacked, the people who were arranged on the roof could barely cope with it, but the problem was that the roofs of other cars were not equipped with manpower for defense, which caused the beasts on the roofs to rush towards the rear. Roof.
The special forces of the special security and education department arranged on the roof of the car were unable to stop the attacks of so many wild beasts when they could not use shotguns. Soon there were casualties among them.
The captain, who noticed that the situation in the car was not good, immediately ordered the person on the roof to give up the guard and return to the car. Because this order was rushed, some people were not protected when they returned to the car, and they were bitten and dragged by wild animals. After getting off the train, he soon died in the bite of the beast.
When the people on the car roof were evacuated, a dozen short-sized beasts climbed onto the car roof under the cover of wild beasts, and the people in the car didn’t know anything about it, except Leo and Sylvia.
