Soul of Burning Steel

"Go ahead, why."

Speaking in a tone of patience and disgust, Joshua frowned and asked the only awake woman in the Siberian team: "Why kill those ordinary people?"

——Of course it is to consume the enemy's vital power.

Without the other party's answer, the soldier can guess the other party's answer... This is not a difficult thing to understand, especially for him who has experienced countless battlefields. The small-scale local wars of modern warfare may also emphasize morality and human rights, and will not kill each other civilians, but when the world war comes, nuclear weapons, biological and chemical weapons, and unrestricted bombings will not all take turns in battle, and strive to destroy the enemy's country. The environment turned into scorched earth?

At that time, who cared whether civilians were human, innocent or innocent, under the blaze of nuclear flames, even millennia-old monuments would be wiped out, and the number of lives would be as meaningless as dust. This is the case on the earth where civilization and human rights are highly developed, not to mention a different world that looks abnormal.

Joshua did not intend to intervene in this matter at first.

The battle between the soul puppets and the Siberians seemed fierce, but in his eyes it was purely a trivial trouble. Joshua knew from the beginning that this battle was at most damaging some ordinary soul puppets, and the main fighting power of both parties was not. A powerful means of lethality. Although the light arrow is unavoidable like light, its energy level will kill some ordinary people. It can pierce the outer armor of some low-level puppets at most, and it will never destroy their core. And the white shield It can also block most of the super-powered puppets' attacks. Coupled with that powerful old man, the Siboyan team can go anytime they want.

Since there will be no serious consequences, Joshua is naturally not interested in taking action. He wants to actually see how soul puppets load super power units, and how ordinary people who hold the authority of steel fight... The result was indeed not what he expected. The Siboyan squad couldn't break through the soul puppet's defense line, so it planned to retreat, and the super puppets couldn't stop the opponent's retreat.

But just when Joshua planned to follow up later and ask the retreating Siberians to ask about the situation, he saw countless arrows shooting from the white shield, falling like rain.

Light could not be stopped, so in an instant, thousands of Siberians died, and they fell one after another, like an invisible sickle swiping across a crop.

Joshua was not faster than the light. When he observed the light, the people were already dead, and he couldn't stop it.

Are you angry?

of course.

Qiao Xiu has never attacked an unarmed weak, let alone a massacre—yes, of course he can understand the other party’s behavior. The moment the other party makes a move, he understands the reason for the other party’s action, but because of understanding, so I don't like it, so I hate it.

"In order... to consume the power of this plantation..."

The woman spoke, her voice still trembling, as if she hadn't escaped from the shock of the terrifying realm: "This time...the attack, we can't...get nothing, we must finish something before we can go back, otherwise it would be a waste of the army. Medium resources... kill them, these puppets will be busy for a while, and can reduce the supply of the plantation..."

Her words squashed, but they became more and more fluent in the back. After the woman answered Joshua's question, she immediately closed her mouth, her head drooped, and she did not dare to look at the silvery eyes.

After receiving the expected answer, Joshua did not get any more angry, nor did he have any other reactions. He just said flatly: "In order to prevent the enemy from getting supplies, so we must slaughter the local civilians... Is this your explanation?"

He has heard many of these reasons.

Joshua didn't use the local world language contained in the Steel Shards of Siboa, the python of steel. He still spoke the lingua franca of Mykrov, but because of the resonance of the spirit, the other party could clearly understand what he meant. And just after Joshua finished speaking, the woman who was kneeling on the ground shook her head vigorously. She seemed to want to stand up and argue, but in the end she retorted softly: "No, they are not civilians, they are just production tools for those puppets! If you don't kill them, they will continue to produce resources for the puppets to use!"

In order to weaken this plantation, killing these walking dead'things' is the simplest and most effective method. It is much more convenient and effective than destroying those puppets. The woman wanted to say that, but she still didn’t It speaks out.

"Soul puppets treat them as livestock, as crops, and you also treat them as living parts, as a reserve of resources for the enemy."

Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground and the six people around who were still in a coma, Joshua turned her head and said indifferently: "In a sense, the difference between you is really not that big."

"It's not the same... and they are not human at all."

The only woman who has awakened has blue and white hair. She looks like she is in her twenties. Cyan is the original hair color, but white is the white hair that really grew out of overwork. For Joshua, this is exhausted, but she is quite energetic. Tough women still can't help refuting: "They have no wisdom at all-let alone soul, or even ability! They are not the same creatures as us at all!"

Hearing this straightforward answer from the other party, Qiao Xiuya couldn't help turning his head back, his eyes widened slightly in the juvenile body, as if he had just begun to look carefully at the group of Siboyans in front of him.

"... You can refute me from the perspective of war. You can refute me from the perspective of interest and value. You can refute me from the inequality of power between the enemy and us... I thought of many answers, strength, camp, Necessary tasks, even simply looking down on the other person, thinking that the other person is inferior-every answer can deal with my question, after all, this is just my personal likes and dislikes, I just can't bear to kill you without the power to resist Civilians."

The giant puppet's body slowly took a step forward. It picked up the carbon-based juvenile body and put it back on its shoulders. It came from above, with a surprised voice in the female ears: "But You didn't. You chose to refute me from the perspective of species, and it's so natural."

A burly soul puppet, with silver light flashing in his eyes, under the blessing of the power of steel, Joshua can clearly analyze the essence of any life. He has tested unknown mechanics and those garden children before. Naturally Also tested ordinary farmers in the breeding area.

And now, he checked the woman in front of him, and the result was not surprising at all.

They are all the same creatures, they are exactly the same, 100% of them belong to the same species.

"You alone can't say this...you alone can't kill people like this."

Anyone can do it, whether it is a soul puppet, a six-legged hippopotamus, or even a plant that has been demonized by high-purity magic power, even warriors from other worlds can do it. Only the Siberians, you can’t say this yourself. In doing so, you are all people who have been enslaved by soul puppets, and you are all oppressed on the same front... But you don’t treat each other as the same kind.

——From the breeding area to the garden area, he waited for twenty years, but people like you waited. ①

Thinking of the unknown mechanic, Joshua sighed softly. He ignored the woman, and the warriors who had removed all the guarding puppets just stood there quietly, waiting.

"what……"

"Head hurts……"

"How is this going……"

In this way, in the silent waiting, gradually, the comatose members of the Siboa team that were impacted by Joshua’s terrifying realm gradually came to their senses. They were a little confused at first, but then quickly recalled the last. In that memory, the only awake woman took care of them, and they also turned their eyes to Joshua. At first, some team members had a hint of resentment in their eyes, but then they saw the souls around them. Most of the puppets were crumpled into pieces of wreckage, and when they recalled the terrifying power, they immediately shuddered and felt a lot of peace.

"What's going on... why that little... that compatriot will be with the soul puppet?!"

"Looking at the shape, it looks a bit like a Snova-type super puppet, but it has been specially modified...very burly and powerful.

"So powerful! Although I didn't perceive superpowers, that soul is so huge, I can't see the depth at all... It was just his sentence that stunned us all? Such a powerful soul, even a Dominion-level puppet, is rare, right? "

"That puppet, could it be controlled by him... There are records in the army that this kind of superpower who can control the puppet, the last Central Jihad was led by this superpower..."

Qiao Xiu felt a wave of faint, but very clear soul fluctuations. He glanced at the group of faces that didn't change. It seemed that it was just the squad that had just awakened. He immediately understood: Soul Communication. The transfer and the coordinator are both sober women. It is no wonder that the other party can be sober in the terrifying realm and can refute Joshua's words. Her soul quality is dozens of times that of ordinary people, and she can completely serve as the entire team. Coordinator.

"Is he awakened on his own? There are very few compatriots who have awakened on their own. Those soul puppets have stricter thought stamps from generation to generation, and there have been people who have not heard of awakening independently for more than ten years."

"It should be that he attacked with us and the soul puppet just now, and even was angry with those things...If he didn't wake up voluntarily, how could he not know these things?"

"Okay, don't talk too much, let's see his reaction... Such a young autonomous awakener may also be able to manipulate the puppets. If he can join us, it will definitely greatly strengthen the strength of the army."

After hearing that it was clearly the woman's soul fluctuating, the last calm fluctuation arose: "Look at the situation and let us know what the purpose of this young compatriot is."

The soul fluctuation ends. In reality, the old white-haired old man who suppressed all the melee puppets with his own power and blocked the storm super-power puppet alone stepped forward. He glanced carefully at the young man sitting on the puppet’s shoulder, and then His eyes were involuntarily attracted by the huge steel body. After he reacted, he coughed and prepared to speak: "Excuse me..."

"Your identity."

Joshua's voice interrupted his words. The soldier seemed unwilling to talk too much about other issues. He asked directly: "Your purpose, the general situation of the world, the relationship between the breeding area, the garden area and the plantation, who made the soul puppet, What is going on in this situation, do you have historical documents?"

A series of questions were spoken fluently and clearly by him. Under the mental resonance, even if everyone present could not understand the common language of Mycroft, they could still know what the other party meant. The white-haired old man led by this It can be said that he responded very well, he just froze for a moment, and then he didn't hesitate to start answering Joshua's question without any nonsense.

"We are the fifth brigade from the Resistance Army. The purpose is to go to the garden area and save all our compatriots."

His tone was unpleasant, but not slow, and his words were strong and clear. The old man continued to say: "I don't know the situation in this world. Isn't that the way it is? The breeding area and the garden area are both part of this plantation...but There are also "collection gardens" that do not cultivate but specialize in mining minerals and other fields with various functions."

"As for now... what is history?"

The old man responded decently, but he got stuck in the end. He seemed to really not understand the meaning of the word ‘history’, so he seemed a little embarrassed. However, Qiao Xiuya could see that the old man still had something in his heart. He seemed to be glad that the soldiers were not interested in their superpowers. Otherwise, he would have to make up a set when he answered. It was really troublesome.

But for Joshua, why do you need to ask about this kind of thing? At the same moment he pulled the seven-man team from the air, the soldiers had already roughly understood the superpowers of everyone present, and even the names they called each other had been known through soul communication.

The old man headed by him possesses a self-enhanced superpower that can store energy at ordinary times and burst out when needed to make his King Kong not bad. His name is ‘chariot’.

And the timid girl hiding behind the old man is the maintainer of the white shield. She possesses a rare energy barrier-type super power, which can be below a certain energy level, regardless of any type of impact. Her name is "Iron Wall".

The thin boy and the long-haired woman standing together have the abilities of'floating in the air' and'condensing light arrows' respectively. One of them is responsible for the team's transportation operations, and the other is responsible for large-scale cleaning and long-range attacks. Their names are "Pegasus" and "Magic Arrow" respectively. It was the magic arrow that killed the Siberians. At this time, she didn't seem to have any reaction. It seemed that it was only because of the shock caused by Joshua that she had a headache.

And the other two men, one looked weak and seemed to be overloaded, while the other was responsible for supporting each other, with a very low sense of existence. The power of steel held by these two people is extremely simple, but extremely pure. One is the ‘blasting’ that can cause a violent explosion through contact, and the other is the ‘invisible’ that can be manipulated optically and then invisible. Joshua guessed that it was the cooperation of these two people that could blast the outer black wall of the breeding area without being stopped by the soul puppets.

The last member is a tired woman who does not seem to have any ability, but the ability itself is the ‘enhanced soul’. Her responsibilities have been revealed very clearly in the soul communication, that is, as the core of the team, responsible for soul communication, as well as removing the thought stamp for the ‘comrades’...her name is the ‘unlocker’.

The Siboya team used their abilities to call each other completely, and there seemed to be no name at all, but it was true after thinking about it carefully. The name was just a code name. As superpowers with different abilities, the ability name itself was a sufficiently striking and unique code name.

"Explain what the resistance is."

Qiao Xiuya continued to ask. The old man and the other members of the Resistance Army looked a little at a loss, but because of the disparity in strength and the inability to approach Qiao Xiuya, they decided to answer honestly: "The Resistance Army... It's an army that resists soul puppets..."

Through the narration of the white-haired old man and the supplements of others, Joshua quickly understood what kind of organization the Resistance Army was.

This is an organization that has existed about a hundred years ago. At the beginning, it was just a small organization formed by a few lucky super-powers who had escaped from the garden to resist the soul puppets who came to capture them. Brigade. But later, as more and more superpowers gathered, generally a single'field', that is, the gathering place of soul puppets, no longer has enough strength to destroy them, and these superpowers even attacked in turn.' "Yuan Di", rescued the children in the garden area, lifted their thoughts, and let them join themselves.

So far, the resistance has been quite large. According to the white-haired old man, there are hundreds of teams like them, and the number of scattered superpowers exceeds tens of thousands. A few decades ago, they even There was also a holy war against the tower in the center of the world. But not all superpowers have enough combat power, plus a slightly larger soul puppet garden can gather nearly 10,000 combat puppets, they often unite together and send a large army to eliminate the rebels, so they have not stopped yet. In one place, instead of constantly moving, avoiding the annihilation of the puppet army, halfway through attacking smaller plantations to obtain resources and population supplies.

As for the process... no more words. Just look at those numb Siboyans whose lives were cut off like grass. These rebels only recognized those children with extraordinary abilities as their compatriots. They did not have enough power to unlock the mind seal for ordinary people, nor did they have enough. The food is provided to these worthless guys. Every time they break through a soul puppet field, the first thing they do is to destroy the soul puppet, the second thing is to rescue the super-power, the last thing is to plunder all the materials, kill all the livestock and the Sibyans that are too late to take away, and then one Turn the fire into ashes.

It's just like the primitive nomads in ancient times.

"This..." I don't know how to call Joshua, the white-haired old man can only judge by appearance: "This'puppet master', what purpose do you have now?"

"You are so strong that you can even defeat the soul puppets of the entire plantation alone, so why didn't you leave before?"

The entire Siboyan team ~www.novelmtl.com~ seems to seldom communicate with people, speak straightforwardly and don't know how to conceal. If it weren't for soul communication to coordinate with each other, they might discuss something in front of Joshua. The topic of the warrior, facing the old man's simple and direct question, with a hint of curiosity, Joshua did not immediately answer. He turned his head and glanced at the messy farmland around him, as well as the remains of countless puppets and the corpses of Siboyans. The soldier whispered, "I originally planned to see what is wrong with this world."

"But now it seems that the world's problems may not be big...On the contrary, the spirit of the entire civilization, even the civilization itself, has been completely rotten and no longer exists."

Joshua’s juvenile body was sitting on the shoulders of the puppet. He was condescending and glanced at the remains of the soul puppet: "You are not a human."

He turned his head again and looked at the Sibeyans who fell in the dirt and were killed by the arrows: "You are not a human being."

In the end, Joshua turned his head back, and with complicated eyes that didn't know whether it was indifference or sympathy, he stared at the inexplicably scared Siboa team of seven.

"None of you are human."
