Chapter 253 Shrimp?! WAAAAAGG!!!
Chapter 253 What the hell?! WAAAAAGG!!! (Bonus chapter!)
Bonus chapter for today! Please subscribe and recommend! (Hint: This is not the world of the weasel.)
The dwarves say that at the crossroads of worlds, the cursed world is the most dangerous, while the world of death is the least worthwhile to develop!
As for the definition of a so-called dead world, it is a world in which no intelligent being on the Holy Star can survive.
Those anthropomorphic creatures don't count!
As for the most dangerous cursed world, it is an absolute forbidden zone for life! Not only does it contain great terror, but it also contains beings that can destroy the world at any time. Once discovered, seal it away immediately!
Of course, the above worlds are still considered good; at least when these worlds intersect in time and space, people can still make contact.
Most importantly, there are also some worlds possessing the will of certain planets, immense power, and insatiable greed.
Every time something like this happens, the Holy Star faces a very serious crisis of world survival.
Fortunately, according to legend, the Sacred Star is a place favored by the gods. In ancient times, gods descended upon this place and bestowed upon it divine artifacts to protect its peace!
The butcher's mind was filled with the data he had recently seen from the dwarves and elves when he suddenly heard a slight commotion!
When Niu Tou looked around, he saw a soldier not far away clutching his stomach, indicating that he had a stomachache and his face had even changed color.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
"Report: My stomach suddenly started rumbling, I feel uncomfortable, and I really need to poop!"
The butcher pointed to a trench a few meters away: "Right there! Quick! Li Jiahao, you take the gun!"
"Alright!" The soldier with the stomachache didn't stand on ceremony. He handed the task over to his deputy, grabbed the military shovel, and ran over!
The butcher looked at the fog in the distance, then at the wind direction, and some information and data continued to surface in his mind.
Fog generally indicates that a planet's natural ecology has evolved to a point where it is suitable for life to humans and other organisms. The fog that the detector just analyzed contained not only a large number of water molecules, but also fine soil minerals and trace amounts of sea salt. Of course, the magic detector also detected strong magical particle fluctuations.
Based on humanity's knowledge of planetary ecology, and the information provided by the elves and dwarves regarding the convergence of the heavens, the otherworldly rift before us most likely conceals a vibrant world teeming with magical power.
In such a world, sometimes you're incredibly weak, and sometimes—some individuals wield godlike power!
When you encounter something like this, you absolutely must be extremely careful!
In short, avoid unleashing your aggressive tendencies prematurely unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, if the creatures that emerge from the other end of the celestial intersection look like they can't communicate with each other, then just kill them!
Although he speaks slowly, his mind works very quickly.
After spending two seconds recalling this information, the butcher became uneasy about his current state.
"Commander, our unit observes that the fog will be encroaching in about an hour. To guard against any potential hazards from the lingering fog, we request that all units wear gas masks!"
"I agree to wear it! Please take necessary protective measures!"
"receive!"
The butcher received the order, and then the communications officer began relaying the order to the various units.
Even when we're busy, we're still exploring and exchanging ideas!
"It's been so long, have we been able to gather any useful information?"
"We can't detect it! The mechanical dog was destroyed as soon as it got close. The data says that when the celestial bodies converge, spacetime is unstable, and any equipment or personnel that gets close will be sucked into the spacetime turbulence."
"When will it be better?"
Neither the dwarves nor the elves specified a time!
"Then keep dropping missiles! If all else fails, how about a full-scale bombardment? Our missile units and artillery shells are ready!"
The communication channel was bustling with activity, but in the end, the commander at the rear ordered continued reconnaissance, while the front line remained quiet.
Some time has passed!
"Gentlemen, after deploying the new batch of detection equipment, have you discovered anything?"
"Report! Squad 1's mechanical detection team has been spotted!"
"Report----"
"Report! The signal from Mechanical Dog #2 in Class 3 has detected some infrared traces. It looks like a humanoid creature! But it's so small!"
Suddenly, the reconnaissance team delivered news of enemy activity.
"What kind of humanoid creature?"
"Information is being decoded and transmitted!"
Upon hearing the presence of a humanoid creature ahead, Butcher immediately signaled all units to be on high alert, while he opened his tablet to view the messages the robotic dog had seen.
The video exploration information from Class 3, No. 2 mechanical dog was immediately synchronized to the killer's tactical tablet.
At the same time, in the battalion command vehicle near the front line, Battalion Commander Mu Chen was also looking at the information on the screen.
As the first unit to discover the alien creatures, the intelligence here was quickly viewed simultaneously by Brigade Commander Fu, who was stationed at the Ice River Base, and Su Mingjin, who was at the Time Gate Command Center.
More than 100 kilometers away, Brigade Commander Man and other commanders, including Su Mingjin, were all watching!
The footage from the robotic dog was quite shaky, filled with fog and common energy interference stripes. The robotic dog, wrapped in a thin fiber optic cable, moved slowly through the dense fog.
All around was deathly silent, except for the dull thud of mechanical feet pounding on the damp earth.
Suddenly, several blurry patches of color lit up on the infrared thermal imaging module at the edge of the screen.
The mechanical dog immediately moved forward.
Then, everyone who saw the video stared wide-eyed!
In the video, several short, green humanoid creatures, described as being over 80 centimeters tall by the mechanical dog, can be seen appearing in the frame.
They are hunched over, with dirty, oily green skin, and a pair of strange ears that look like rabbits with their upper halves cut off, which are particularly eye-catching. Their noses are sharp and long.
These ugly little creatures, with their grotesque teeth and protruding, menacing canines on their chins, look quite unpleasant and seem to be in very bad shape.
They seemed to have drunk fake alcohol, shaking their heads and swaying their bodies, much like the dizziness humans experience when traveling through time.
However, these guys are in a much worse situation.
Smaller spacetime rifts may cause more intense symptoms of discomfort.
Of course, it's also possible that they are completely unsuited to this world.
Upon seeing the meter-tall, dazed mechanical dog, some of these head-shaking, confused creatures let out a strange cry and fled like headless flies.
Of course, a few bolder individuals actually gathered around.
On the frontline communications channel, Battalion Commander Mu Chen inquired: "Are we trying to communicate, or are we treating the mechanical dogs like prey? Turn on the loudspeaker and see if we can communicate!"
"Report: These robotic dogs are carrying detection equipment; they are not equipped with speaker modules!"
"These things look like goblins?"
"They're clearly goblins!"
"He looks unbalanced when he walks! He's probably easy to bully!"
"You cry as soon as you're hit?"
"Ha ha, crying goblin!"
"Are there any female goblins?" the young male advisor watching with him asked softly.
"I bet the female goblins are incredibly ugly! Seeing these fantasy creatures in real life is disgusting; they're so ugly and repulsive!"
Mu Chen stared at the screen and asked in a deep voice, "Has the rate of fog expansion changed? Can we confirm the enemy's numbers now?"
"Reporting to the battalion commander, the fog's expansion has stopped! Energy fluctuations are stabilizing! This spacetime rift isn't large! But—but the number of life signals detected by infrared sensors is increasing!"
"Stay vigilant, and send another mechanical dog equipped with a loudspeaker to communicate with them —"
"These guys are surrounding us, like they're treating us like prey?"
The operator maneuvers the robotic dog around.
Then you see these ugly creatures with scarlet eyes circling the mechanical dog a few times.
Some of them were hitting their own heads, while others were chattering amongst themselves, their voices harsh and monotonous.
Soon, monsters wielding sticks, spiked clubs, and other similar weapons charged at the mechanical dog!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The camera jolted violently, and the last frame transmitted back was an ugly face with a grinning mouth, sharp teeth, and red eyes, attempting to eat the mechanical dog.
The signal was then completely cut off, and the screen went completely black.
"Very aggressive! Doesn't look like something you can touch!"
"According to Western human lore, both goblins and gnomes are considered dark and chaotic creatures, seemingly possessing a vicious nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong! Cruel and cunning!"
"Of course, these guys are most likely the type who respond better to force than gentleness."
"No, if they are goblins and gnomes, then their nature is definitely more cruel than that of the Sakura people, and they must be completely exterminated."
"Let's capture some prisoners and interrogate them first! We also need information about the world behind the spacetime rift!"
Over the communications channel, the Butcher's hoarse yet calm voice suddenly broke through: "Commander, many of them have already broken through the fog!"
Mu Chen immediately switched to the infrared screen and saw a large number of red dots appear on the life detector. The number quickly soared from dozens to hundreds and was still increasing!
The front line, several kilometers away from the fog!
The atmosphere in the trenches and fortifications has become tense!
The soldiers, wearing full protective gear against biological and chemical attacks, released the safety of their weapons, and the cold metallic clanging echoed across the battlefield.
At the edge of the fog, some swaying gray-green shadows were already visible to the naked eye, and they were approaching from afar.
First, there were three or five, then dozens, and finally, a group of over a hundred small green monsters emerged sparsely from the fog.
They are the same as those detected by the robotic dogs before, but with greater diversity!
Most of the green-skinned goblins were just over a meter tall, and many were naked. Only a few wore tattered leather armor and strips of cloth, and carried a variety of crude weapons, such as rusty daggers, nailed wooden clubs, and rough stone axes.
The pair of long, protruding ears that had been cut off twitched incessantly, and the pairs of red or yellowish, cloudy eyes were initially filled with confusion and curiosity.
Many of them can't even walk steadily!
However, when they saw humans, a complex mix of emotions—greed, cunning, fear, and excitement—quickly surfaced in their eyes.
"Some retreated, while others, carrying their weapons, continued to advance!"
"These things don't seem like they'd be easy to communicate with at all—" Mu Chen's lips twitched, and he immediately contacted the command center. "Should we still try to make contact?"
"I see it," Brigade Commander Fu said calmly. "The enemy doesn't have any large-scale long-range attacks. Try communicating with the loudspeaker first. If that doesn't work, wipe them out!"
"Understood! I have already instructed—"
Before Mu Chen could finish speaking, his eyes widened suddenly as he looked ahead.
"Brigadier, I think we don't need to send any negotiation experts."
"What's wrong?"
The voice that answered Commander Fu was not Mu Chen's.
Instead, it was a sharp, piercing sound, but with a strange quality—
"What?!"
"tasty!"
What the hell?!
The group of goblins, who had just emerged from the thick fog and looked utterly listless, with strange gaits and seemingly soulless, seemed to undergo a bizarre transformation in their spirit and energy as they began to chatter shrilly.
A green goblin, over a meter tall, roared, "Chop shrimp! Fill our bellies!!!"
"WAAAAAAAGH!!!!"
Then, the boldest goblin raised his bone club high and let out a roar that was difficult to decipher—
"WAAAAAAAGH!!!!"
The morale of these disorganized little guys rose higher and higher with their shouts.
It's like a hyena seeing a table full of meat, then launching a greedy and lustful charge—
The entire goblin horde seemed to be ignited with momentum!
"WAAAAAAAGH!!!!"
The moment the megaphone was pulled out, those who wanted to communicate with those guys immediately jumped back!
"These idiots are so ugly, they're obviously hard to talk to. Let's just kill them first and worry about nothing else!"
"Fire!"
Mu Chen's roar echoed across the battlefield.
Almost simultaneously, the butcher grinned maliciously and growled into the communicator.
"Aim and fire, guys! Let's teach them a lesson!!!"
"beat!!"
In an instant, a storm of scorching metal surged forth, and the fragile bodies of the charging goblins burst like ripped balloons.
A 5.8mm rifle bullet leaves a large hole in a person's body, but when it hits these little guys who are less than 80 centimeters tall, it tears their bodies apart.
If you are hit by a 12.7mm bullet, it will explode like a watermelon!
These excited goblins, who had launched their charge, were annihilated before they could even run 100 meters.
"Cease fire!" shouted Mu Chen, who was leading the front line.
The soldiers who had been firing then ceased their fire.
"Dispatch the drones and see if we can capture some survivors! The rest of you continue reconnaissance!"
"yes!"
A gentle breeze blew by, and the butcher, wearing a gas mask, asked, "By the way, be careful when collecting specimens from these guys. Don't catch any diseases!"
"Okay, sure!"
"Captain, what were those guys shouting just now?"
"What?"
"Wow? That looks like it! That must be their language?"
"A battle cry like Shajiji's?"
"Well, I don't know—that's something a linguist would have to analyze; we're not experts in that field!"
"Um!
"6
More than 100 kilometers away, at the Time-Space Gate Base.
The atmosphere in the command hall should have been relaxed, since the image of those low-level goblins being riddled with bullets was still playing on the screen.
Upon seeing these things, hearing the slogan, and noticing the faint green light emanating from them, Su Mingjin's expression turned even uglier than if she had eaten a fly.
Commander Man glanced at her: "President Su, that expression of yours—"
"Remember when we were talking before, Mr. Li mentioned the Orc Mushrooms?" Su Mingjin rubbed her temples, her voice strained. "If I'm not mistaken, those guys are greenskins! Green-skinned orcs! Walking scourges!"
Commander Man froze for a second, his gaze suddenly fixed on the bloody battlefield on the screen.
"hiss----"
"I know what to do." He grabbed the communicator. "Attention front! The blood of those green-skinned orcs may be reproductively potent! Deploy firearms and burn all the blood-stained land!"
"Roger that! But—" came rapid breathing from the other end of the communicator, "There's new magical activity here! We need to eliminate those who dare to invade!"
Commander Man tapped his finger on the table: "Did you see what it was?"
"Reconnaissance in progress—" The voice from the front lines suddenly rose, "We see them! It's still those green-skinned goblins, but why are these guys so huge? Are they orcs?"
On the big screen, thick fog billowed, and several oversized things emerged from it.
The butcher on the front lines tightened his grip on his gun when he saw those things.
Standing at 2.78 meters tall, with dark green skin and muscles even more robust than the Hulk, he clutched a shield made of scrap metal, as large as a door panel.
Some wore crooked helmets and had four fangs sticking out of their mouths.
Some guys were carrying hand cannons that looked like trash but were vaguely recognizable as gunpowder weapons.
"Are they just making decisions on a whim, like before?"
"Drunk?"
"No, it's more like adjusting to the discomfort caused by time travel!"
On the screen, the green-skinned monsters walked as if they were blacked out from drinking, pounding their heads as they went.
Some of them even seemed to have lost their sense of direction, bumping into their companions and then getting a beating!
They pushed and shoved each other, then tried to walk out of the fog.
When humans looked at these giant green-skinned humanoid monsters, those creatures regained some of their senses.
A green-skinned creature happened to glance at the human warrior collecting the remains of low-level goblins in the distance. After a few seconds of stunned silence, it suddenly raised its tattered musket and yelled, "What the hell?! WAAAAAGG!!!!"
Its voice is very high-pitched, and humans can sense the excitement in its words.
Even more bizarrely, after that guy finished shouting, a pale green light actually emanated from his body!
"attack!!!"
"beat!"
Just as the butcher was about to fight, a burst of fire suddenly appeared ahead.
bump!
The fire exploded.
It wasn't blown up; it exploded on its own.
A bizarre explosion, accompanied by a shockwave, erupted in the fog. The large goblin who had just raised his gun was blown to pieces before he could even scream.
The fuel inside the gun also ignited strangely, burning the opponent's remains to ashes.
"What's going on?" The soldiers, lying behind cover, were all puzzled.
"We didn't use artillery to bomb them, did we?"
"Never mind them, the other large green goblins are about to charge!"
The large, green-skinned goblins nearby, who were as dazed as if they were under the influence of fake alcohol, also turned around after being attracted by the sound of the explosion.
Upon seeing several humans, two of the larger ones shouted the same thing, then raised their guns and fired.
boom!
boom!
Two loud bangs, followed by two bursts of fire.
The two green-skinned monsters and their weapons exploded together.
"WAAAAGH???"
"Looks like their weapon propellant is different from this world's! It must be influenced by the magical energy of this world!" the butcher muttered. "Capture net, let's see if we can catch a few alive!"
"Captain, they've gone mad!"
The large green-skinned goblins who saw their companions blown up were not deterred by their tragic deaths; instead, they roared even louder.
Their voices grew louder and louder, and their green light grew brighter and brighter.
"WAAAAAAAGH!!"
'
"WAAAAAGG!!!"
"Kill the shrimp!!!!"
Amidst howls, these creatures slammed their tattered weapons to the ground. Then, some hoisted steel shields made of unknown materials, others grabbed large clubs twisted from steel bars, and still others brandished stone axes, charging towards the human positions with a roar—
"Damn it! Hit him!!!"
The butcher shouted!
A loud bang, like popping beans, suddenly erupted from the rear positions!
Heavy and light machine guns rained down on the six green-skinned monsters as if they were free.
The soldiers who were collecting specimens at the front were also firing their rifles.
However, when the 5.8mm rifle bullet hit the steel shield of the door panel that was glowing green, sparks flew everywhere and the bullet bounced off.
Seeing that the firepower of the guns had become so weak, the soldiers immediately pulled the triggers of the light machine guns to the limit.
More bullets are being fired!
The 5.8mm bullets were not very useful, but when the 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets swept over, the green light on the enemy's steel shield, which looked like a tattered piece of metal, flickered rapidly before going out completely.
Then, 5.8mm and 12.7mm bullets finally shattered these shields, penetrating their muscles and causing blood to splatter.
But this guy actually yelled even louder!
They're still charging forward!
It wasn't until a dozen or so heavy machine gun bullets swept through that the last few large green-skinned creatures finally collapsed to the ground.
However, the gunfire here has attracted more monsters from the other side of the time rift, and more large green goblins rushed out of the thick fog.
"Retreat! Withdraw to the defensive line!"
The butcher immediately gave the order!
An infantry fighting vehicle locked onto these guys and unleashed a barrage of fire from its 30mm cannon mounted on its roof.
The dense barrage of bullets struck the group of large goblins, causing their bodies to explode!
"At least they're still made of flesh and blood!" The butcher, who was fighting and retreating, felt much more at ease when he saw this. "Retreat! Retreat!"
Don't interfere with your comrades' firepower!
"Collect some specimens! Collect some specimens!"
Commander Man's voice came through the communicator: "Where are the flamethrowers? Are they in position?"
"We're here! We're here!"
"Burn them! Burn them all!"
Several fire dragons shot out from behind the position, instantly engulfing the already dead greenskins.
After the battle temporarily ended, Butcher leaned against the armored vehicle, watching the burning scene ahead, and silently took out the 12.7mm large-caliber semi-automatic weapon he hadn't originally intended to use: "Report, I suggest that in the future, when we encounter these things, we should just bombard them with 20mm and 30mm cannons!"
"agree."
"Report: Biological specimen collection complete!"
"Seal it! Freeze those larger ones too, make sure the specimens don't leak out." The butcher stared at the corpse, his brows furrowed deeply. "These guys' vitality is outrageous!"
"Captain Tu, these guys are strange." Mu Chen's voice came through the communicator. "The green light on their bodies might be some kind of energy protection device. Let's see if we can collect a sample."
"clear!"
Just as the butcher was about to make arrangements, a voice suddenly came through the communication channel.
"Battalion Commander Mu Chen, immediately, deploy more gasoline and incendiary devices in the vicinity. Make sure to burn this land as much as possible!"
Su Mingjin spoke at a rapid pace, like a machine gun.
Mu Chen was taken aback: "Uh, President Su, our troops are capable of dealing with these strange creatures!"
"This is an order! An order concerning the safety of this world!" Su Mingjin's voice suddenly rose. "If those things aren't handled properly, we and this world will probably be doomed!"
There was a two-second silence on the communication channel.
"All collected specimens are handled with the highest level of security measures to ensure that not a single cell or tissue is leaked!"
Mu Chen swallowed hard. "Okay, I understand! I'll arrange it right away!"
He switched channels: "Butcher, did you hear that?"
"I heard you." The butcher looked at the pool of dark green blood on the ground. "Why is Mr. Su in such a hurry—is there something wrong with the blood of those green-skinned goblins?"
"I don't know, but President Su just said that if this isn't handled properly, the whole world might be doomed." Mu Chen paused, "President Su wouldn't joke about something like that."
"That serious!" The butcher immediately gave the order, "Everyone, put all the collected specimens into the top-grade protective cases! Quickly! The rest of you, burn these things!"
Several soldiers hurriedly stuffed the containers containing the goblin remains into a specially made metal box.
"Report! The magical fluctuations have intensified again!" The scout's voice trembled. "This time—the numbers have increased again!"
The butcher looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting.
From within the thick fog, countless green figures are emerging.
A rough count revealed at least thirty large goblins, and thousands of smaller green figures.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" Mu Chen practically roared the order. "Prepare incendiary bombs! Burn them to death!"
The soldiers ran backwards carrying their equipment, while several hovering drones dropped mixed incendiary bombs.
Flames shot into the sky, instantly burning a huge hole in the thick fog.
The goblins that had just emerged struggled and howled in the flames, their green light flickering on and off.
"President Su," Mu Chen gasped for breath, "what exactly are these things?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the communicator.
"If I'm not mistaken—" Su Mingjin's voice was low, "they are super biological catastrophes from some universe, biological warfare weapons whose genes are etched with the instinct for war, a thoroughly warlike race!!!"
"What?! Biological weapons? A war race?"
"Yes, as long as some blood cells remain here! Their blood, cells, and even fragments of corpses, once they come into contact with a suitable environment, will begin to multiply, evolve, and form a complete ecosystem!" Su Mingjin took a deep breath. "And the reproduction rate is extremely fast; they can quickly cover the entire world!"
Mu Chen's mind went blank.
"So—all that goblin blood needs to be thoroughly cleaned up?"
"Yes, if it's not burned completely, I estimate that new green scavengers will sprout on this land very soon." Su Mingjin paused, "In a month, this place will become a green scavenger's lair. Our hard-earned base will be captured by them!"
"hiss----"
"So now, do we need to burn that land into glass?"
"Yes!" Su Mingjin's voice came through the communicator. "I hope the scientists can quickly analyze whether those things are real or not! If they are, we're in trouble!"
The modern world!
Seeing the chaos of war in another world, he opened his eyes.
This time, his expression turned extremely serious, no longer as composed as before!
"Green-skinned orcs?"
