As soon as Carl got into the back garden, he was immediately shocked at the change in the surroundings and cried out in his heart, "What happened? Is this our back garden?" He looked around, trying to find any familiar landmark.
"Oh, my god, these people must have too much free time..." Carl could not help exclaiming in astonishment. The previous garbage hill had been turned into neatly organized garbage cubes, which were then stacked into endless orderly garbage walls.
"No! These people could not have come here merely to help us tidy up the back garden!" Among the walls, Carl recognized some old junk that had been buried at the bottom of the garbage hill.
The garbage hill had been scavenged through. No one would do this even if he wanted to sort out the rubbish.
Carl continued to explore. Sure enough, some of the rubbish that was familiar to him were placed outside, in orderly rows.
"What's this?" Carl looked at the iron plate in front of him. There was a deep scratch on it, made by something unknown!
Ordinary metal weapons would have made a clean cut. Though the plate was cut from the middle, it had not been cut neatly in half and a terrifying hole was left in the center instead.
Carl walked all the way in and the further in he walked, the more frightened he became.
"Some people must have been fighting throughout the whole garden!" Carl checked the traces of the battle that took place. It was evident everywhere around him and he could barely tell what these things originally were.
Blade marks could be seen on all four sides of the garbage walls. The further he went in, the more blade marks there were.
At this time, Carl became a little nervous. He was fearless, but he had never been in such a dangerous situation before! It was apparent that some lethal weapons were used in the battle here! As a young adult, Carl thought that it could be too risky for him to get involved.
Carl advanced hesitantly and went further into the depths of the back garden.
"Or... I might as well go back..." After much wavering, Carl finally decided to go back. Just when he took a few steps, a violent commotion could be heard from a nearby site.
"Howl!" A roar that he had never heard before reached Carl's ears from a distance.
"What the hell!" Carl panicked. Hurriedly, he squatted by a pile of debris on the side, only to see countless pieces of rubbish being flung violently into the air, at a somewhat close distance.
"Something is approaching!" Carl sensed the impending danger and kept urging his legs to move, but they failed to obey his instructions. Thus, he was rooted helplessly to the spot, watching the thing that caused the ruckus, thrusting its way toward him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" All of a sudden, several gunshots rang out!
The sudden blasts of gunshots sent a shudder through Carl. Eventually, he regained control of his previously unmoving legs.
"Hurry up! Move..." He shouted wildly in his heart but merely managed to stagger two steps forward. How the hell could he escape from this hazardous area?!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Howl! Howl! Howl!"
Alien screams and gunshots rang out continuously and rapidly. Meanwhile, a six-legged monster and a human figure suddenly came into Carl's sight.
The six-legged monster used four of its feet to escape and dodged the man's gunshots either by moving swiftly on the ground or climbing on the walls around.
Meanwhile, two of its fore tentacles kept slicing into the rubbish walls in front and it threw the pieces at its enemy.
The two tentacles looked hard and smooth and had numerous barbs on them. Anyone with sharp eyes could tell that the tentacles could instantly pierce and kill a person, leaving the same horrifying holes in their bodies, much like those in the steel plates.
The human had two silver pistols in an incredibly unique style. They looked rather heavy, but the man hefted them effortlessly, as if they were made of paper.
The bullets shot from the guns had extraordinary power, which could easily knock back and even smash those large pieces of trash thrown by the beast. Occasionally, several bullets would hit the beast and draw out droplets of green colored blood.
When Carl witnessed this, he could not help thinking about the Zergs the dean mentioned previously. This beast with an ugly face and a weird body must be one of them. If not, what else could it be?
"What should I do?! What should I do now?!" The beast and the warrior were getting closer and closer. Carl's face was as white as a sheet, but how could he escape when his legs seemed to have no power at all?
"Howl!" The beast roared right in front of him and Carl was petrified with fear. Thus, the beast and the warrior discovered him!
"A civilian?!" The man with pistols was very shocked! Soldiers had locked down this region, so how could there be a civilian?
The moment the beast saw Carl, it wanted to kill him, so it hopped, waved its sharp blades and rushed straight toward Carl.
Carl saw its ugly face coming closer and was fully aware that he would eventually be brutally slaughtered by its pointed fangs, if not by its sharp tentacles. There was no chance for him to survive!
There was a loud bang before the sharp tentacles touched Carl. Then a figure flashed across and picked Carl up by his waist. They narrowly escaped the attack from the two deadly tentacles!
The warrior held Carl in a firm grip and fell onto the ground, leaving clear dragging marks in the sand and there were even traces of dark blood.
They lay languidly on the ground and Carl felt dizzy from the impact of the fall. The man gasped and said through gritted teeth, "Silly boy! Why did you just stand still and wait for the blow to fall?"
Carl stared blankly at the warrior, whose face was pale and forehead was awash in cold sweat. When Carl put his hands on the ground to support himself, he felt two streams of hot and humid liquid flowing onto the back of his hands.
"You're injured..." Carl stated in a trembling voice.
Though the man breathed heavily, he pretended to be calm and said, "Fortunately, I was not fatally wounded... Alright, boy, run away quickly. I'll cover you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Carl, saw the beast towering before him and immediately shouted loudly, "Watch out!"
The man reacted very quickly—he grabbed Carl's clothes with his right hand and rolled sideways with him.
In a whirl of dust, Carl looked back and saw that the beast's double tentacles were imbedded deep into the hard ground. It was evident that its killing power was very destructive.
Fortunately, its tentacles were so deeply imbedded that the beast found it hard to pull them out!
"Oh, wow... kid, leave now!" The warrior also noticed this. He could not wait to seize this chance to fire a few shots at the disgusting beast!
Even as he spoke, this warrior had already reached for his guns. With a flash of silver light, two pistols appeared in his hands out of nowhere!
His skill startled Carl and an idea suddenly struck him: this man was a War Spirit warrior!
"This is a War Spirit warrior......" Carl looked at the War Spirit warrior before him with eyes that shone. It was obvious that he did not have any weapons in his hands and waist earlier!But at this moment, with a flash of silver light, two peculiar-shaped pistols appeared in his hands. It was so magical that it was hard for anyone to fathom this exceptional skill, except for the warriors of the War Spirit!At the moment when Carl was still in a daze, the warrior had taken aim at the extraordinary bug with his two guns, as it struggled in the same spot."Silly boy, why haven't you left yet?" When he was about to pull the trigger, the War Spirit warrior suddenly hesitated. Looking back, he found that Carl was still standing in the same place, so he immediately roared.Unexpectedly, when he turned around and wanted to shoot again, there was a sudden clicking sound. With a huge tug, the extraordinary bug managed to pull out its sharp
The War Spirit warrior nodded and then said in a soft voice, "If we follow your plan, it should not be a problem for us to restrict its movements......"Roar!Before they could talk further, the six-legged bug had already rushed up to them again."Let's go!" The warrior asked Carl to climb on his back. He held the weapon tightly in his hands and started to run.As a War Spirit warrior who mainly focused on long-range shooting, his movements were very light and fast.Although his movements slowed down a little due to Carl's weight, he was still able to run quite fast."Boy, when we get to the key spot, let me know immediately!""Sure!" Carl replied loudly. Suddenly, a strong wind blew from behind him. Carl turned his head and saw that the terrifying face of the six-legged bug was looming before him.Without needing Carl to shout out a warning, the War Spirit warrior could smell the
After the warrior ceased his attack, Carl removed his hands from his ears."The more powerful the two guns were, the more violent the noise was...... " Carl glanced at the silver guns in the warrior's hands and murmured in his heart.As if he had noticed Carl's gaze, the warrior grinned. With a flash of silver light, the two guns suddenly disappeared from his hands."Boy, although your unexpected appearance today has caused a minor hitch in my battle...... It did not turn out too badly by the looks of the result."After killing the six-legged bug, the War Spirit warrior felt relaxed and came toward Carl with a smile.He also knew very well that if Carl had not shown up at this garbage station tonight, the outcome of the battle between him and the six-legged bug was hard to tell.Instead of blaming Carl, the War Spirit warrior looked at him, feeling pleased.Carl grinned. After this life-and-de
Carl gradually woke up from his faint. The first thing he saw was a cold iron fence. The surrounding walls were empty and smooth without any holes.He looked up at the ceiling, where a white light was illuminating the whole room.Carl was shocked. What was this place? Before he lost consciousness, he remembered clearly that he was in the garbage station in the trash mountain.When Carl was about to stand up, he heard a few sounds. He turned his head and found that he was kneeling on the ground with both his hands and feet tightly bound by thick iron chains."What's going on?" Feeling strange, Carl finally could not help shouting.Even though Carl had never been here, he could tell by the surroundings and the iron chains on his arms and legs that it was a cell!Carl remembered that before he lost consciousness, he had just fought with a War Spirit warrior and killed a Zerg bug.In this case, no
There was a tattoo of a silver gun on Carl's wrist!"What's going on? I didn't have this before!" Carl's eyes widened in astonishment. He remembered that he had never had such a mark on his wrist since he was a child.What's more, the mark was at the same spot where he felt the searing pain yesterday..."Your excellency, this boy..." One of the soldiers looked at Carl with a shocked expression and suddenly became tongue-tied.The officer nodded, looked at Carl intently and said, "Since he has a mark now, his current problem is not something we can deal with..."After thinking for a while, the officer ordered two soldiers to take Carl out of the cell and left in a hurry.With a confused look on his face, Carl was taken to another small room by the soldiers. Compared with the airless cell just now, this room was much more comfortable.At this time, the first ray of sunlight shone into the room t
"Good luck, man!" When Carl passed by, the two soldiers sincerely wished him well.The corners of Carl's mouth curved slightly as he nodded. Although he had only known these two soldiers for one night, he could still feel their sincerity.After leaving the room, Carl calmed down and followed the officer in silence.With the speculation of the two soldiers just now, Carl admitted to himself that the officer of the Empire-shield Army should be a War Spirit warrior.Other than Darke who died last night, this was the second War Spirit warrior that Carl met. His heart could not help being filled with curiosity.The officer noticed that Carl was staring at him. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything on my back? Why are you staring at me?"Carl's mouth opened but he did not know how to answer. He thought it would be weird to ask if the officer was a War Spirit
After Carl shouted out his pledge, the whole room suddenly fell silent. After a long time, General Davin burst into laughter.The inexplicable laughter rang through the communicator in the room. After venting his emotions, Carl became nervous again and stood still.After laughing, General Davin looked intently at Carl, turned his head and said to the officer, "You should know what to do next, right?"The officer immediately stood straight and saluted General Davin. He replied in an earnest voice, "Don't worry, general. I'll handle everything."After receiving the reply, General Davin nodded with satisfaction. After glancing at Carl again, he finally turned off the communicator.After the screen was turned off, the officer let out a long sigh of relief. Although General Davin was kind when talking to Carl, not many generals were as kind as him.After taking a moment to calm himself down, the officer looked
Time reversed itself for about ten minutes.When the officer drove the military jeep, bringing Carl to the registration office in Rum Town, he thought they could arrive there in less than ten minutes, at a fast speed.However, they overlooked one thing. That was, almost all the residents of Rum Town were out on the streets to see the youngsters, who were about to report to the armies, off.Originally, the roads of a small town like Rum Town were already narrow. Now it was even more crowded."Hey! If it goes on like this, I will be late!" Carl looked at the crowd around the car and said anxiously."Well... there's no other way..." The officer parked the car on the side of the road, stood up from his seat, turned around and grabbed Carl with his hand. As Carl looked at him in shock, he transformed into a giant eagle!With a screech, the giant eagle spread its wings and flew up with Carl.No matt
