Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 19. Brave New World (7)

[Extra 19. Brave New World (7)]

Although Joyner had long known that there was movement from behind, she did not expect these things to come so quickly.

I saw two tall figures appearing behind the truck, making low sounds from time to time, like hiccups. The green light flickered in the wilderness, which were their eyes.

She didn’t know anything about these mutated creatures, but she could tell intuitively that the lights of the truck must have attracted them. But now there were no lights, so how could they accurately find the car in the dark?

Joyner was surprised by this. Is it because of the instinct of some kind of beast, the low-level intelligence of the degraded human brain, or both?

“Ah! Oh no!”

Joyner suddenly realized something!

Their target is obviously the prisoners hiding in the back of the truck!

Someone must have made a sound, which attracted these mutants to hear the sound. Maybe they were looking for something to eat?

Joyner felt a chill. She didn’t have time to think so much. She saw a monster approaching the truck. It stood up straight from a stooped crawling posture, with thick limbs. It was nearly three meters tall and abnormally tall and deformed. It was even taller than the huge tires of the truck. Nearly one meter.

The two monsters, one behind the other, were grabbing the iron net with strange postures, stretching their necks to press their heads against the iron scaffolding, and their thick arms like tree trunks also grabbed onto it.

“Crack–” The giant steel beast made a sound of metal collision, and the seventy- to eighty-ton body actually shook slightly.

“What a terrifying power!”

A cold light flashed through, and Joyner had another dagger in her hand. Grit your teeth and prepare for a fight.

She didn’t have time to think so much, let alone watch these monsters destroy vehicles or eat the prisoners.

You know, she got this car after killing many bandits, and it was also the guarantee she relied on to get out of the wilderness!

“Idiot, the person you are looking for is here!” Joyner’s voice spread far away.

This trick worked as expected. The terrifying monster made a “ho ho” sound from its throat, immediately left the car, resumed its four-legged position, and rushed towards her quickly.

Although the monster’s speed suddenly increased by several levels, its movements were no longer so stupid and slow, like an out-of-control truck carrying a howling wind. But Joyner was faster. She turned around and ran away from the truck.

Joyner knew very well that this cry would definitely attract those monsters in the ruins. But that was her plan, and she had no choice at the moment.

She made up her mind that as long as she left the car, she would go back when she found a suitable opportunity, and she was very confident in her speed.

But Joyner’s wishful thinking soon came to nothing, and she saw dozens more green lights on the hillside, almost forming a line, diagonally heading towards the path she must pass!

What? Actually… there are so many monsters?

Joyner was shocked, why didn’t she see it before?

Could it be that these ghost things grew out of the ground?

In fact, Joyner herself is to blame, because she knows nothing about the conditions of this land.

Just as she guessed, these guys really “grew” out of the ground.

The building ruins are actually the remains of a mine from long ago. As early as a few decades ago, this was a town famous for mining ores. This place is rich in barite copper deposits and is buried very shallowly. It is the largest economic pillar of the local area. People here used to rely heavily on minerals.

But one day, highly polluted water sources were discovered in the mines deep underground. The locals didn’t know anything about it and thought it was a clean water source given by God, so they happily pretended to go home and drink it.

You know, water sources are the most important resources in this era.

Controlling water resources becomes a natural advantage in the struggle for hegemony in the wilderness. War between several large gangs in the surrounding areas over water resources often breaks out. They all want to take it for themselves, so they must go to war.

monsters are actually the degeneration of humans who have long-term drinking water containing huge amounts of pollution. The first batch of mutants were local miners. They experienced various inhuman tortures and mutated within a few months or at most half a year, becoming insane, bloodthirsty and cruel.

These mutants quickly killed the people around them and all the living creatures they could see. Horrifying rumors were brought to other places from the mouths of passing travelers, and no one dared to approach this place again. As a result, the town quickly declined.

Today they live in underground mines and are afraid of the sun, but occasionally come out at night to attack all living creatures. All experienced hunters will be extremely quiet at night and will not dare to light fires in the wild unless they are armed hunters.

In fact, there are not a few human beings who have mutated as completely as they did.

The great disaster hundreds of years ago resulted in a series of mutant creatures. Since humans are also living creatures, of course they are not exempt from vulgarity.

In this era, humans not only struggle with various dangers in the wilderness, but also contend with the power of nature.

However, the biggest danger is the lack of clean water, even sewage full of radiation. Pollution and mutation have become things that almost everyone must experience in their lives, but the degree is different for everyone.

At this moment, a strong wind blew, and the cold wind roared throughout the wilderness.

Joyner saw more and more green fluorescence. Due to the terrain, some monsters had already rushed ahead of her, blocking her way and forming a siege.

So Joyner twisted her waist, made a sharp turn, and ran toward the gap in the monster’s encirclement.

Her speed soared again, her heart filled with determination.

However, how much this confidence can be, maybe she herself doesn’t know.

“Whoosh -“

Joyner suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from the back of her head. She trembled in shock, hurriedly lowered her head and shrank her neck, and dodged to avoid it.

Even though her reflexes were super strong, she was almost hit by this attack.

Moreover, there was still a little bit of inexplicable mucus on his body.

“Wha—” Without even thinking, she stabbed her backhand.

A cold light flashed across, followed by a terrifying howl from behind.

Joyner turned her head while running, and out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a huge black figure, holding her head in her arms, looking in pain.

Only then did she realize that the “weapon” that had just attacked her was actually the monster’s tongue!

Just when she was secretly frightened and wanted to turn her head around, she suddenly lost her feet and suddenly discovered that there was a ravine in front of her.

“Ah, that’s bad!”

During the high-speed movement, she threw her body directly out. Before she could adjust her body posture in mid-air, she saw that the whole earth was pressing towards her face!

The muscles in her whole body contracted like a conditioned reflex. She protected her head with both arms and turned over a dozen somersaults in a row before she stopped the impact.

But just after such a delay, Joyner felt the earth tremble, and waves of terrifying “ho ho” sounds sounded from the right side and behind her!

The scary monsters were already less than ten meters away from her.

At this time, her eyes were filled with despair. But then, this despair was replaced by colder anger, solidified on her face.

If you can’t hide, then kill!
