In the forest covered with grass, three figures passed by as fast as lightning, kicking up countless blades of grass along the way.
After rushing into a lush bush, the middle-aged man in the lead stopped panting.
His shirt was stained with blood in many places, and there were cuts like knife cuts in some places, and the healed blood could be faintly seen through them.
This person is none other than Taotie, Wang Tao, who ordered Ba Kun and others to attack the Su family villa.
However, at this time, his face was not as calm as usual, but instead showed a hint of palpitations.
"Boss, you're not chasing us over there, are you?"
Next to him, a subordinate with a beard asked in panic.
Taotie took a deep breath and slowly calmed down his fluctuating mood.
He stared in the direction he came from through the dense bushes.
After he was sure that there was no movement coming from there, he whispered:
"It looks like he must have gotten rid of it."
Upon hearing this, the man with glasses on the other side collapsed and sat in the bushes.
Regardless of how stinging the surrounding bushes were, he sat directly on the ground, took out a handful of elixirs and drank them on the spot.
While dealing with the injuries on his body, he asked in a confused tone:
"Where did those weird dolls come from?"
"Who knows where it came from? As soon as the horsemen came in, they went around killing and eating people. The monsters are so arrogant now. Is the Civil Security Bureau just a living person?"
The bearded man picked up a bottle of medicine and poured it on the wound, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.
Taotie, who had also taken the healing medicine, exhaled and said:
"I thought that might not be weird."
The man with glasses and the bearded man were all a little stunned when they heard this.
Taotie has now regained his former composure and analyzed carefully:
“Although those dolls behaved like monsters, charging in and biting anyone they saw, they also had their own abilities and were extremely difficult to kill.
But after facing them, the glorious hands I cultivated never achieved the results I imagined.
And during the battle, I also discovered that the cooperation between them was too close.
Even a well-trained battle formation cannot achieve this level. There must be some kind of secret connection here. "
"But if they aren't weird, then what are they?"
The bearded man asked with a frown.
Taotie unconsciously touched the back of his head and said thoughtfully:
"They have a certain spirituality, their bodies are extremely hard, their every move is extremely lethal, and they also have special abilities. From this, I thought of one thing, and that is the spiritual treasure!"
"Lingbao? That's impossible, right? If it's really a spiritual treasure, how could we survive?!"
The man with glasses immediately retorted.
Taotie shook his head:
"Of course they can't be real spiritual treasures. I just said they look like them. You should know that there were many special spiritual objects in the ancient world of cultivation.
Through these spiritual objects, magic weapons and even magic weapons can have a certain spirituality and show corresponding wisdom.
Maybe that’s where those things came from. "
"Then who manipulated them to attack us?"
The bearded man said angrily:
"It is impossible for such powerful dolls to remain unknown, but I have never heard of their reputations. Where did these things come from?"
"Perhaps they were recently unearthed from the ruins, or perhaps they were successfully refined recently. All in all, there must be an unknown force hidden behind these dolls.
And the most troublesome thing is that that force is likely to be hostile to us, otherwise the gang of puppets would not be able to come directly to the door and catch us by surprise. "
When Taotie said this, his face became a little ugly.
The man with glasses took off his glasses, wiped them, and asked:
"The stronghold has been lost, and many people have died. Boss, what should we do next?"
Taotie thought for a while and said:
"The people who were killed or injured are not a problem. You two are the only ones who know my identity. The others don't even know my details. They are not considered core members. If they die, they will die.
As for the breach of the stronghold, it is indeed a trouble. Today's incident will soon be reported to the Civil Security Bureau. In the future, supplies will definitely not be transferred through there, and the node must be found again.
Anyway, no matter what, let me first report the situation here to the president. We will wait for the president's instructions on how to deal with it. "
The bespectacled man thought for a while, felt it made sense, and nodded in agreement.
But the bearded man on the other side had his pupils dilated instantly and shouted urgently:
"Hide quickly——"
Accompanying the sound was a sharp roar.
Taotie ducked and dodged.
The man with glasses on the side didn't have time to react, and a soft "puff" sound suddenly came from his body.
He lowered his head and looked blankly at his chest.
I saw a hand stuck on his chest.
The sharp fingers penetrated his chest completely like a sharp sword.
The man with glasses made a loud sound in his throat, as if he was planning to say something, but in the end he could only fall into a dead silence with a face full of despair.
At the same time, Taotie and Beard all rose up and rushed out of the bushes.
Then I saw two naked plastic dolls standing not far away.
These dolls are about the same size as ordinary people, with bare heads, slender limbs, and pale bodies.
They originally stood in shopping malls as hangers for all kinds of clothes, but now these hangers seem to have their own consciousness and start hunting the humans on the market.
Killing the bespectacled man with one blow, the puppet that had thrown the broken arm suddenly rushed forward at a speed that was almost as fast as level 5.
"court death!"
Taotie roared angrily and faced the puppet.
On the other side, the bearded man also met another doll.
Just as the two sides were fighting.
On a big tree not far away.
The hand girl seemed to have no weight, stepping lightly on a branch.
Looking at the fierce battle scene not far away, Xiao Meng put it in her pocket and asked eagerly:
"Sister Hand Girl, don't we step forward to stop you?"
"What? You can't bear them being killed by puppets? They obviously bullied you not long ago."
The hand girl glanced at Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng grabbed her pocket, her face full of confusion:
"Teachers have taught us that bad people do bad things, but we cannot do bad things like bad people."
"Your teacher taught you well. It seems that he sent you to school in the right way."
After saying that, the hand girl changed the subject and said:
"However, Xiaomeng, you have to remember that what the teacher teaches is only suitable for the world of ordinary people.
Outside the world of ordinary people, we must adhere to another set of laws.
It may be too absolute to say that the weak eat the strong, but it is always true that revenge must be taken.
And just because we don’t take action now doesn’t mean we are doing bad things.
After all, we didn't unite the puppets to deal with them.
In addition, observing this battle will also help us collect intelligence related to the dolls.
Don't you feel familiar with them?
I just took this opportunity to take a closer look at what this doll is. "
Listening to Handmaiden's instruction, Xiao Meng nodded in understanding.
Then he watched the battle below obediently.
It was obviously an extremely high-speed battle, like an afterimage, but she seemed to be able to see all the details clearly, and her eyes could always follow the action.
At this time, the battle on the field has entered a new stage.
In terms of strength, Taotie and Beard are definitely better than the two dolls.
Although they cooperated tacitly, their actions were quite rigid and seemed to have a fixed routine.
From this perspective, so-called spirituality is not as powerful as imagined.
It is closer to artificial intelligence than having autonomous consciousness.
And it’s the not-so-smart one among artificial intelligence.
However, Taotie and Bearded Beard had already been injured in the previous battle.
In addition, the escape consumes a lot of physical and spiritual energy, and it is difficult to fight for a long time now.
The two phases were superimposed, so that the decline of defeat was quickly revealed.
"Escape separately!"
Taotie raised his radiant right hand, knocked the puppet back, and roared at the bearded man on the other side.
The bearded man turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Taotie also fled in the other direction.
Seeing this scene, the hand girl on the branch flashed her eyes slightly:
"I can't let you escape."
However, before she could take action, many other dolls immediately gathered around from all directions.
It looks like I received a message asking for help from the doll here.
The bearded man let out a desperate roar, and his whole body was torn apart by three dolls on the spot.
After tearing his beard to pieces, those dolls ate up his remains on the spot like wild beasts.
Watching Beard die tragically on the spot, the escape route around him was completely blocked by other dolls.
Taotie roared with a fierce face:
"Don't expect anything from me!"
After saying this, a strong light suddenly bloomed on his body.
The next second, the whole person blew himself up on the spot.
With this violent explosion, all the gathered dolls were blown apart.
Some of those who were closer were directly hit hard, and their entire bodies were blown to pieces.
They struggled on the ground, trying to recover, but in the end only some moving limbs were left.
At this time, the remaining dolls all stepped forward, picked up the limb parts that were still intact, and replaced the injured parts of themselves.
Soon, there were only six puppets left on the field that looked intact. They even held the limbs of their companions in their hands as weapons.
Then all these dolls came to the corpse of the man with glasses and began to eat together.
Seeing this extremely bloody scene, the hand girl couldn't help but frown slightly.
She had often seen scenes like this before. Most of them were strange entities such as zombies, which would habitually feed on humans, not only to replenish their origins, but also to advance.
But now watching these dolls devouring human corpses always gave her a very unpleasant feeling.
It's like seeing vultures eating people.
Why should such an inferior species eat humans?
Just as she was thinking about it, the six dolls suddenly turned their heads, their white eyes looking straight at her.
Seeing this scene, the hand girl suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
She was preparing to take action directly and suppress these monsters on the spot.
Xiaomeng in the pocket said timidly:
"Sister Hand Girl, I seem... to be able to control them."
"Huh? You mean control? How to control?"
The hand girl stopped moving, and a look of curiosity appeared on her face.
Xiaomeng's expression was a little confused, and she gestured with her little hands and said:
"That is, I can issue orders to them and ask them to do things for me."
When the hand girl heard this, her eyes moved slightly and she said:
"You let them destroy the remaining bodies."
Xiaomeng nodded and looked at the six dolls.
Without seeing her say anything, the six dolls turned around and destroyed all the remaining corpses on the spot until they were reduced to flesh and blood on the ground.
Seeing this scene, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on the hand girl's face.
Just from the previous performances of these dolls, it can be seen that they are full of unimaginable desire for the corpses of practitioners, just like drug addicts craving for drugs.
It stands to reason that no matter what the outside world tells them, they cannot obey orders and give up the food they finally got.
But now, Xiao Meng was convinced.
This was simply beyond the hands girl's imagination.
She looked at the little dream in her pocket, and then at the puppet below that stood motionless as if waiting for further instructions. She always felt that there was some unknown connection between the two.
"Perhaps this has something to do with Xiao Meng's life experience."
Thinking like this, the hand girl stopped her plan to destroy the doll.
She was originally planning to destroy all these dolls.
After all, these things are too dangerous and harmful to humans.
If left unchecked, it may cause a large number of casualties to ordinary people.
This situation must be avoided.
Therefore, the best plan is to kill them all.
Now, considering that these dolls may be related to Xiao Meng's life experience, it is better to keep them under guard and wait until Su Mo comes back to make a decision.
As soon as she thought of this, the hand girl no longer hesitated and immediately sent instructions to Xiaomeng.
Immediately, the two led the six dolls and walked slowly outside.
at the same time.
Inside a remote and deserted workplace in the western suburbs.
Countless broken doll parts are piled everywhere.
In an open space in the middle, Mercedes was carefully assembling a brand new doll.
On the surface, the doll looks no different from a plastic doll, but its body is made from a fusion of various precious materials.
While he was assembling it, there was a two-fingered little man sitting on the simple jade plate next to him. The hand of the little man was constantly emitting a hazy clear light.
As soon as the clear light fell on the doll, the connection between the various parts on the doll's body became closer.
Even the doll itself began to have a certain aura.
After a while, the doll was finally refined. Before Mercedes could breathe a sigh of relief, Sun Shaoren hurried over and said urgently:
"All the batch of black iron-level dolls released earlier have lost contact."
When Mercedes heard this, her expression couldn't help but froze slightly, then she smiled again:
“It’s just a Black Iron-level doll.
Although it is very difficult for ordinary dolls to evolve into black iron level.
But don’t forget, that batch is just a test sample.
They advanced successfully, but they are not under our control.
I have long been prepared to discard all these things.
After all, the Civil Security Bureau and other parties are not blind.
Once things get too big, they will definitely be strangled.
A few black iron-level dolls can't make any waves at all. "
"Of course I know this, but the sudden loss of contact with the black iron doll always gives me a bad premonition."
Sun Shaoren walked back and forth and said anxiously:
"I always feel that they didn't simply die."
"You have to relax as a person."
Mercedes smiled and comforted:
"They are just black iron-level dolls. They have verified the mistakes in the refining process for us and have completed their set mission.
The next batch of newly refined silver-level dolls are the key to follow-up actions.
As long as we use them to excavate all three places, we will be able to create an army of puppets. Then why worry about big things happening? "
Sun Shaoren stopped and asked:
"Then when do we act?"
"Hasn't it already been taken action?"
Mercedes looked to the southwest, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
