Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 729 - The Town in the Devil's Den

Chapter 729: The Town in the Devil’s Den

“What the h.e.l.l is this thing?”

“Let’s go. Our ammunition and spirit energy are quite limited. Don’t linger on the battlefield. Get out of its hunting range!”

After testing the green giant with a few firebombs embedded with crimson crystals, the man-eating pomfret team made a prompt decision after the flames that had just burst out were immediately swallowed by more vines and moss. They took turns to cover each other and retreated from the battlefield.

However, in the bushes around them, a large number of cables covered in moss had long been dormant. Like sinister vipers, they launched a surprise attack from an unbelievable angle.

The picture began to shake and spin violently.

It was covered by flames and thick smoke again.

The members of the man-eating pomfret team could barely be seen as they were entangled by green tentacles. In order to break free from the restraints, they had no choice but to take off their power armor and sacrifice a large number of thinking war trucks, which were engraved with runes and equipped with biochemical brains as well as superbrain chips.

A six-legged intelligent vehicle in the form of a spider was deployed at the back of the team to carry out the blocking mission. It carried four Vulcan cannons.

The bullet chains that shot out of the four Vulcan cannons were like burning sickles, harvesting the green tentacles in a frenzy.

However, more tentacles came from all directions and wrapped the thinking war truck tightly, completely covering it and turning it into another green monster.

As the vines, moss, and branches on the surface of the thinking war truck wriggled, it actually turned around and pounced on the man-eating pomfret team.

Faced with such a weird scene, even seasoned soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles felt their scalps go numb.

The scene sank into darkness again amid the continuous fire and roars.

In the next video, the man-eating pomfret team temporarily escaped the pursuit of the green giant and arrived at a seemingly safe cave.

However, several soldiers were covered in wounds.

There was even a soldier who was pinned to the ground by his comrades. His face was pale and drenched in sweat, but he struggled madly as if he was possessed, screaming hysterically.

His nano combat suit had been cut open with a single molecular scalpel. His pale skin and hideous blood vessels could be clearly seen, as well as the “things” hidden under his skin that were bulging and running everywhere.

Something had entered his body. It was wriggling, tearing, and escaping between his limbs, bones, and internal organs!

“Give me a shot!”

The soldier cried out in pain, “Give me a shot, quickly!”

Naturally, his comrades would not give up on him so easily.

They used tourniquets to bind his limbs tightly, limiting the “thing’s” access to his body cavity.

Then, they injected a large amount of coagulant into the soldier’s body.

The medicine was used to temporarily freeze the wound in a critical environment where surgery could not be carried out in the wild. It delayed the pain and aggravation of the injury.

However, in terms of the “thing” that drilled into the body of the soldier, the bone-chilling feeling was obviously very unpleasant.

It could be seen darting left and right, drilling around inside the soldier’s body like a little mouse.

After gritting his teeth and waiting for a minute, the commander asked the soldiers to cut off the tourniquet tied on the soldier’s left arm.

He then opened up a way for that “thing” to escape.

That thing immediately drilled into the soldier’s left arm.

It caused the soldier’s left arm to instantly double in size, becoming bruised and swollen. There was even dark green pus being secreted out of the pores.

The commander screamed. His battle saber was like an unsheathed silver dragon. With a lightning-like slash, he cut off the soldier’s left arm at shoulder level!

The soldier grunted, but he knew that it was his only choice.

He bit his lip hard and endured the pain. He rolled to the side to distance himself from his broken left arm.

His comrades immediately went forward to help him cauterize the wound, block the blood vessels, and inject painkillers, medical drugs, as well as high-energy nutrition drugs.

As for the severed left arm, it seemed to be “aware” that it had been tricked. It began to twitch like a weird python that was struggling on its deathbed.

From the b.l.o.o.d.y and festering wound, a large number of p.r.i.c.kly stems and branches gushed out and wrapped the severed left arm tightly. It made it look like a completely independent monster.

The tip of the stem pierced deeply into the muscle fibers and nerve cl.u.s.ters in the arm. It controlled the five fingers and crawled around like a spider or scorpion, trying to jump onto other warriors.

Some warriors had already prepared flame throwers, and they burned the monster into ashes while they cursed.

“What… What monster is this?”

Looking at the ashes, all of the veterans were silent.

After a long time, someone finally asked with difficulty.

“No matter what monster it is, we must complete the mission.”

The commander paused and said in a heavier tone, “We will definitely complete the mission!”

The next few videos got longer and longer, while the images got blurrier and blurrier.

For a long time, the footage showed the dark clouds in the underbrush or the sky that were rolling like raging waves. Outside the images, only the sound of panting could be heard.

It was as if the cameraman was exhausted or seriously injured, and he could only lie on the ground, unable to move at all.

In a few scenes that were barely recognizable, the man-eating pomfret team seemed to be in more danger, and it was constantly losing members.

Not only did they lose a lot of thinking war trucks and ammunition supplies, but those who were still alive were also getting increasingly tired and nervous.

Only the commander was still as calm as ever.

He kept cheering for his teammates.

When faced with danger, he also took the lead and faced death with equanimity.

The phrase “we will definitely complete the mission” was repeated several times in almost every video.

Each time was filled with decisive and irrefutable strength.

However, the last time he said this sentence…

He was holding a bundle of crystal bombs tightly in his arms.

His expression was mournful and resolute.

He retreated step by step away from the warriors who were shouting and trying to dissuade him.

“Remember, we will definitely complete the mission.”

The commander enunciated each word clearly, “Even if the man-eating pomfret team is completely annihilated, we must explore as many areas as possible before the last drop of our blood is drained. We must transmit the data back and leave a signpost so that the latecomers can follow our footsteps and reach the deepest part of the monster’s lair!”

Before he finished his statement, he had already detonated the crystal bomb.

His body, which had been constantly wriggling, expanding, and twisting, was blown to pieces.

That was the last video data transmitted by the man-eating pomfret team.

After that, there were no more images, only sound.

It was the conversation of the surviving members in the communication channel.

The communication channel was also heavily jammed as if hundreds of sharp noises were mixed together.

After repeated a.n.a.lysis by the military’s technical experts, they were barely able to catch some vital information.

They found out that after the commander died, the remaining members did not choose to retreat. Instead, they made a desperate gamble and continued to advance.

Until they saw…

“How is this possible? There is actually such a deep valley at the foot of Mist Mountain!”

“This is not a valley, this is simply an abyss!”

“Didn’t you notice that the depression here is very uniform? Its surrounding is in a precise circular shape, like a natural crater!”

“It can’t be natural. From the shape and arc of the depression, as well as the smoothness of the rock wall, it looks like a meteorite crater.”

“Meteorite crater? What ma.s.s of meteorite can create such a terrifying meteorite crater? The energy released by such an impact could destroy half of the Other World, just like the meteorite attack that destroyed the dinosaurs back on Earth!”

“Wait, look, what is that?”

“This, this is impossible. A town, a human town!”

“In such a d*mn place… Those people… are still alive!”

The voice stopped abruptly.

Long Feijun told everyone present that this was the last message sent by the man-eating pomfret team.

Everyone, including Meng Chao, took a deep breath, circulated their spirit energy, and gently ma.s.saged their cerebral cortex before they were able to extricate themselves from the tense and treacherous atmosphere.

They remained silent for half a minute.

In their hearts, they saluted the brave and fearless members of the man-eating pomfret team with the utmost respect.

Then, Long Feijun asked, “What do you think of the message sent by the man-eating pomfret team

“Although the monsters in the Hidden Mist Domain are brutal and weird, including the green giant that was formed by the vines and moss winding around the super high-voltage transmission tower, they are not something that our technology and firepower can’t handle. Saturated carpet bombing is still the most important tactical option.”

A young officer pondered for a moment and said, “However, what did the man-eating pomfret team find in the depths of the Hidden Mist Domain in the end? A… huge crater and a human town at the bottom of the crater?”

“Could it be the ruins of a human town?”

Another officer said, “As you know, when Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World, many satellite cities and towns were torn apart and scattered in the depths of Monster Mountain Range, except for the main city.

“Without a huge body, it was not enough to support a civilization. These towns ended up being frequently swallowed by the mist and monsters in the ten to twenty years after transmigration. When we found them, only the ruins and the bones of our compatriots were left. Even though there were a few survivors, they would often be unrecognizable and almost a.s.similated by the monsters.

“Now that there are Earth’s ultra-high voltage transmission towers and a nearby town in the Hidden Mist Domain, it’s not surprising.”

“It might not be a ruin…”

The officer shook his head slowly and said, “The man-eating pomfret team has partic.i.p.ated in several missions to explore abandoned satellite towns. If it were the ruins of an ordinary town, they wouldn’t have made such a fuss.

“Moreover, in their last call, they clearly stated that the residents of this town were ‘alive’.

“Because the man-eating pomfret team discovered this human town as soon as they approached the crater that was likely caused by a meteorite impact, I believe that they were not too close to the town.

“To be able to tell that the residents of the town are still alive from a distance and that they are human beings means that this town should be quite prosperous. The residents must also carry very conspicuous Earthling features.”

“But, how is that possible?” the second officer said in surprise.

“We are talking about the foot of Mist Mountain, the core area of the Hidden Mist Domain. There are countless pieces of evidence indicating that it’s the monster civilization’s ultimate lair.”

“How can there be a human town that is intact and full of vitality in such a d*mned place?”
