Chapter 19: Thick Fog


   "Damn! Someone attacked!"
   "There are enemies!"
   "Hiding! Hiding!"
The moment the man named Pier fell to the ground, everyone exclaimed and quickly hid behind huge trees, holding the weapon in his hand, watching the source of the weapon with vigilance. .
   There are also people who worry that the light of the lantern will expose their position. They quickly extinguished the lantern, because some people have done this, and others do not think there is any problem with this. They have followed suit and extinguished the lights.
   It's just that they didn't know how to do this. Not only did they fail to save their lives, but they accelerated their death.
Just when the surrounding environment is completely dark, a very low mumble sound is heard from time to time. If there are attentive people listening carefully, you can find that these sounds come from the location of the person who was hiding just now. .
And when this sound rang a dozen times, the surroundings were completely silent, followed by a little fire light, lit a lantern, and after adjusting the lamp oil valve slightly with one hand, the fire light became larger and changed the surrounding light. The environment is illuminated.
I saw that Leo, who had no change in his body, stood next to a throated corpse, where the surrounding lights could reach, and several corpses that were hiding behind tree roots and holding arms On the ground, in places other than the lights, there were the same bodies lying on the ground.
Under the attack of Leo, the killing team of more than 30 people did not sustain it for ten minutes, and the whole army was wiped out. For Leo, who has countless experiences, this is just an extremely common thing. , As ordinary as drinking water to eat.
   Leo did not leave immediately, but cleaned the battlefield carefully and collected loot according to the past habits.
  The bows and crossbows carried by these hunters are very well-made, and they are considered to be good handmade weapons. Unfortunately, Leo is not familiar with these weapons, so he directly discards them. On the contrary, most of them were symbolic Panir tomahawks around their waists. Instead, he chose ten of them to hang on the special belts in turn.
   Unlike bows and crossbows, Leo has experience in using Paner's Tomahawk and can quickly get started without having to go through the familiarization period.
The Panil tomahawk is somewhat similar to the military Indian tomahawk of the Old Earth era. Although the Earth Federation Army has mainly dominated by magnetic energy and laser weapons, the special exhibition forces such as Leo, which mainly infiltrate and decapitate, will still be equipped with some Melee cold weapons, and Leo chose at the time this kind of weapon that can be thrown from a distance and can be melee.
  After selecting the weapons, Leo took away all kinds of medicines from these people regardless of whether they knew or not, and they naturally packed the money together.
   After sorting out a large package, Leo set his eyes on the musket in the hands of the three men.
It is different from the standard breech rifle with a large magazine for the army of the British Kingdom. The rifle in Leo's hand is a single-shot rifle. Its shape and structure are very similar to the M1903 of the old earth age. Springfield rifle.
   This rifle can be preloaded with five rounds of bullets, but it can only be fired in a single shot. Each shot needs to be pulled by the bolt, and it can only continue shooting after being equipped with bullets.
The reason why    will have a more advanced large-capacity automatic magazine while still adopting this inconvenient loading design is entirely to slow down the shooting speed of firearm users.
After all, compared to the ordinary bullets in the big magazine, the special bullets equipped in these firearms can not only be activated every round, but also expensive, if you also use that big magazine and continuous fire gun If so, even the wealthy powers of the French empire cannot afford such losses.
Although Leo has never used this type of gunpowder firearm, he has used a similar Gauss rifle. Because of the shape of the firearm and the shooting principle, there may be some small obstacles in the use, but just like the Panil tomahawk, he You should be able to quickly become familiar with the use of this weapon.
Leo took one of the well-maintained rifles behind his back, removed the five ammunition packs placed in the waist of the three people, hung them on his body, and then withdrew five from the other two firearms. Pre-installed special bullets.
   "Found high-energy substances, the energy level is too low to absorb."
   Just when Leo's hand touched the ammunition, the auxiliary brain system immediately issued a prompt, indicating that this special ammunition is a high-energy object.
Leo looked at the ten special ammunition in his hand, and thought that the difference between this ammunition and ordinary ammunition was just the addition of a special stabilizer. Obviously, one of the stabilizers must also be added. A variety of high-energy substances.
  It is just that he also remembers that the formulation of this stabilizer and the source of that rare raw material are top secrets in various countries, and it is not known to him as the bottom layer.
  Thinking of this, Leo also extinguished the idea of ​​tracing high-energy substances from this special bullet.
   Put these ammunition in the ammunition bag, Leo went back with the lantern. Although when he left before, he had checked through the spiritual network that there was no danger around the resting place, but such a place as the Black Forest could not be judged by common sense, the previous moment was safe and calm, the next moment was dangerous and not impossible to happen of.
   Soon, Leo passed through a bush and came to the tree-root arch bridge he had walked before. He could already see the faint light in front.
But when he was about to climb the arch bridge and walk to the opposite side, his steps stopped, because he found that the other side was empty at the previous moment, but in a blink of an eye, he was already covered by the inexplicable thick fog, As if this striking thick fog appeared out of thin air.
  Thinking of the materials related to the fog and fog, Leo's originally relaxed mood could not help but tighten, and his expression became serious.
  Careful Leo walked slowly across the arch bridge, in front of the fog wall formed by dense fog, reached out and tried to dive into the dense fog.
   "Found high-energy force field, energy level is too low, can not be absorbed, can be used for psionic supplementation."
   At this time, the reminder of the auxiliary brain system appeared before Leo's eyes again, but the difference from the previous special ammunition reminder was that there was one more sentence for psionic supplementation.
Seeing this prompt, Leo’s previous question about where the high-energy force field that appeared in the Black Forest came from was answered. Obviously, these weird dense fogs are the cause of this high-energy force field.
   Judging from the absolute mentality of the past biological weapons, the dense fog in front of him is an unknown danger zone and must be bypassed. Even if his comrades fall into it, he will not enter.
But now Leo has a lot of emotions because of the fusion of this body's remaining memory. Friendship and responsibility are also in it. When reason tells Leo to turn and leave and walk around, the inner emotions drive him not to Hesitantly stepped into the thick fog.
  When most of Leo's body entered the dense fog, a strong suction appeared in the dense fog, pulling part of his body that had not yet entered into the fog.
  When he fell into the fog, he immediately felt like he was sinking into the water. There was an invisible force around him squeezing his body, and he felt a slight suffocation and suffocation.
Because the auxiliary brain system collects and sorts various types of data in real time, Leo quickly understood that this situation is still caused by the high-energy force field, because the high-energy force field inside and outside the dense fog has obvious Strong and weak, so it caused the drag-like strength and suffocation.
Although the body is a little uncomfortable, Leo sees the psionic energy in the personal data interface in front of him. The spiritual energy consumed by the skills such as spiritual sight and spiritual network is rapidly recovering. Due to the unknown environment, he is slightly nervous The mood has also relaxed a lot.
   At this moment, the thick fog has a great influence on the sight. Even if Leo’s vision is much better than ordinary people, he can’t see any objects one meter away.
Fortunately, he has collected the surrounding terrain data through the Spirit Net before, and composed it into a topographic map, which is projected in the eyeball to form a three-dimensional illusion, so that even if his eyes can't see through the dense fog, he can still know any object. The exact location is as if there is no dense fog.
  According to the projection instructions in his eyes, Leo quickly moved forward, and soon came to the place where they rested, and also saw the extremely faint lantern light flashing in the dense fog.
  When he got close, he found that both Nielsen and Jason were lying on the ground, feeling that they were attacked when the fog appeared.
   He stepped forward to check and found that it was only a false alarm. The two were not under any attack. After some inspection, they confirmed that they had just fallen asleep.
   "It seems that they should not be able to withstand the high-energy force field in the dense fog, and the body has a protective response?" Leo quickly judged the cause of their coma based on the physical condition of the two.
However, this comatose state may not cause harm to the two now, but if they continue to let them coma like this, or continue to suffer from the unknown high-energy field around them, will they eventually have permanent damage? It is unknown.
  Thinking of this, Leo intends to take the two out of the thick fog range first, and then consider how to pass this thick fog.
When Leo leaned down, grabbed the two of them, and prepared to lift them away, a sense of danger suddenly appeared, causing his body to instinctively avoid the side according to his sense of orientation. Following him, he felt as if a sharp object had been wiped from his right arm.
   He turned his head and saw that the clothing on his right arm was cut with a slit, and the thread was cut neatly, indicating that the weapon used to cut the clothing was very sharp.
Although the clothes were not completely cut, he felt that there was an extra wound on the arm where the rift was located. Obviously, in addition to its sharpness, the sharp weapon might have a layer on the blade that could hurt the body but not destroy the clothes. power.
   Soon, that sense of crisis reappeared. This time Leo could clearly feel that the location of the mysterious existence attack was on his neck, and it was much faster than before.
   The situation is so urgent that Leo can't think about it. He instinctively made the most suitable decision for his current situation, instantly turned on perfect control skills, and his body and spirit entered a perfect state.
I saw that Leo's body flashed, and the whole person traversed about 30 centimeters in an instant. The Panel tomahawk in the waist also appeared in his hand at the same time. One of the tomahawks appeared to be casually facing. The air beside him waved out.
   The muffled sound of "Porphy" appeared out of thin air, and then a sense of obstruction hacked into the real thing came from the axe.
   Then, Leo turned around, and another battle axe was thrown out into the air with the movement of his body.
   I saw that the flying tomahawk was like a hit. It generally stopped a little in the air, and then the powerful throwing force pushed it forward and dropped it not far away.
   At this time, a quite magical scene appeared, only to see the axe thrown by the handle suspended in mid-air, and shaking up and down regularly.
   "Remove perfect control and activate Psionic Vision." Seeing this situation, Leo immediately converted psionic skills.
   With the activation of the Lingshi skill, the thick fog in front of Leo disappeared instantly, and the black forest covered by the thick fog appeared again in front of his eyes.
   It's just that the Black Forest at this time is completely different from the dark and dull black forest just now. The Black Forest in front of you is like a dream forest in a fairy tale, full of incredible magical scenes.
I can see that the Black Forest is as bright as daylight at this moment. This is not because of the dense layers of foliage through which sunlight penetrates, but because every tree here becomes a luminous tree, the faint light from the trunk, branches, roots Emitted everywhere, gathered together, and dispersed the darkness of the Black Forest.
   The scene on the top of the tree is even more amazing~EbookFREE.me~ I saw that the top of the tree, which was originally only some branches and leaves, was now full of various flowers, and the same is true of the vines wrapped around it.
   If it is only covered with flowers of various colors, Leo will not be magical. It really makes Leo feel like a fairyland because of the light that constantly fly around the flowers.
  Through the ability of spiritual vision, he could easily see that the fast-flying light ball was actually a small person with transparent wings and wearing leaf clothing. Each of these little people carried a small basket made of flowers and bones, holding a stick smaller than a match stick in his hand, gently patted the flowers on the top of the tree, and took down the shaking with the basket pollen.
"Little fairies, little fairies!" Although Leo hadn't read those fairy tales from the age of the old earth, but he was also very familiar with some of the magical species in fairy tales. Obviously, the little people flying above their heads, no matter how they look Both are like two magical species in fairy tales.
   Leo took a few deep breaths and calmed down some strange emotions. After taking his eyes off the top of his head, he looked around the body.
The first thing that enters my eyes is the ground. The ground that was originally covered with black rot is now golden yellow. This golden yellow does not simply change the color of the soil, but grows a layer that looks like moss and is soft. Fluffy golden vegetation.
   Subsequently, he found that Nelson and Jason, who were just beside him, had disappeared.
Leo thought very calmly about the scene of an attack by an unknown invisible creature just now, so he crouched down and groped for the place where Jason and Nelson lay down, and found that the two of them were just transparent. In fact, still lying in place, not disappeared.
