Chapter 269 "Base Station"
Looking at the cruel scene of blood, floating boats and ruins everywhere in front of him, Qi Ji was stunned for a moment.
"What's going on? Why are all the people dead?"
"Ho..."
"Tear!——"
"..."
Terrifying roars and sounds of flesh tearing could be heard one after another in this bloody ruin. They were grotesque monsters biting and devouring what looked like human flesh.
In front of these monsters, the human body is as fragile as a plastic bag filled with red liquid, which will burst with a slight pull.
Dark red blood and colorful internal organs splashed all over the ground, and then were licked up by other relatively small monsters lying on the ground.
It was a terrifying and horrifying gluttonous scene like hell.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how tragic! It's a pity that I came too late. Everyone has already died..."
Qi Ji couldn't help but feel sympathy, and scanned the camp carefully again, confirming that apart from those monsters, there were no living creatures.
"Based on the current intelligence, these monsters are obviously irrational. This camp should have been built when the corpses were still alive... No one survived. The clues are completely cut off."
She sighed and was about to stop maintaining her perception and end this "exploration" when she suddenly realized...
Two figures quickly rushed out from the woods at the edge of the camp!
"Hey, there are still people alive?!"
Qi Ji was immediately delighted and quickly turned his head to look at those people.
They are a tall and thin middle-aged man and a young girl with orange hair with naturally curled ends.
After they rushed out of the woods, the expressions on their faces were full of relief and hope, but after seeing the tragic scene in the camp, they immediately froze.
Then the orange-haired girl said something to the middle-aged man in the lead. Just as the latter was about to respond, a huge black shadow suddenly swooped out from the woods where they had appeared before and knocked the orange-haired girl who was closer to him to the ground.
"Hey, this guy is going to die too."
Seeing this scene, Qi Ji shook her head with some regret. Although she was unwilling to watch a living being being killed by a crazy and bloodthirsty monster out of simple emotion, she could do nothing.
At present, she has no way to directly transmit her own power to that unknown area, and can only observe the situation on that side unilaterally through perception.
If she was well prepared and had enough time, she would still have a good chance of figuring out a solution...
But now, it's obviously too late.
The one that pounced on the orange-haired girl was a bipedal humanoid monster with a goat's head. It was at least four meters tall when standing upright, with its torso and limbs covered with muscles that were so muscular and deformed that thick black smoke was billowing out of its head.
Like a nightmare demon crawling out of a volcano.
It pressed the orange-haired girl to the ground, opened its bloody mouth with an extremely exaggerated amplitude, and then bit down hard on her neck.
——No, strictly speaking, it wasn't biting the neck, because if that terrifyingly large mouth really bit down, the girl's upper body would probably be shattered.
But before all this happened, the tall and thin middle-aged man suddenly moved!
The surface of his pale skin suddenly lit up with an indigo spiritual light, which surrounded his entire body as if it had life.
Against the backdrop of this indigo light, the well-proportioned muscles bulged up explosively, becoming as hard as cast steel.
His face also turned slightly red, as if it was illuminated by fire.
"Oh!--"
The man's eyes widened and he let out a rough and loud roar like a wild beast. His tense muscles suddenly exploded and the air around him made a crisp and clear sound of breaking wind at this moment.
His body was like a fired cannonball, tearing through the air and slamming hard into the flank of the goat-headed monster!
"--boom!"
The collision of flesh and blood caused a clanging sound similar to the sound of metal clashing.
The goat-headed monster was knocked sideways by the huge impact force, and its heavy body drew an arc and fell five or six meters away.
"Uh!"
The man himself was also shaken backwards by the violent reaction force, but he quickly adjusted his posture in mid-air, and his feet rooted in the ground, plowing out two furrows several meters long, before he stopped his body from retreating.
"Cough cough..."
The indigo light on his body became much dimmer, and he bent down slightly and coughed forcefully a few times, with a few drops of blood foam splashing out of his mouth.
"Run!"
As soon as he stood still, the man ran towards where the orange-haired girl fell:
"Stand up and run!"
Qi Ji noticed that he was speaking a completely new language, different from the common language of mankind and the mysterious ancient language, and the grammar and pronunciation were quite different.
However, thanks to her inherent "language commonality" ability, the language difference does not prevent her from understanding what these people are saying.
"what……!"
The orange-haired girl who survived the disaster lay flat on the ground in a daze for half a second, then immediately stood up by rolling and crawling. She was so scared that her face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she couldn't speak.
The man did not go to help her, but rushed past her and towards the goat-headed monster that had already stood up:
"Death!"
The indigo spiritual light reappeared on his body surface, once again endowing him with powerful strength beyond human power.
"Captain, you..."
The orange-haired girl looked at the man's receding back tremblingly. She was about to say something but suddenly stopped, as if she understood something at this moment.
The eyes that were originally filled with fear and anxiety quickly calmed down.
After a moment of silence, she asked in an extremely solemn tone:
"Captain, what should I do next?"
"Return to the 'Last Kingdom'."
The middle-aged man in brown clothes, who was called the captain, said this without even turning his head, and then collided with the goat-headed monster that had just stood up and was unharmed.
The indigo inspiration flowing in his body suddenly burst out, emitting a light that was bright enough to sting one's eyes.
At this moment, the other monsters scattered in the ruins of the camp, feasting on the human corpses...
They all dropped the bloody limbs in their hands and turned their eyes to the human who was struggling with the goat-headed monster.
"Ho..."
"Bam! Boom! Bam!..."
The hideous and distorted roars and screams, mixed with the thunderous trampling sounds, echoed throughout this not-so-big ruins.
……
…………
……
"Hahaha……"
Qi Ji controlled his extended perception and followed the orange-haired girl who was running wildly in the lush and strange gray-white forest.
Watching her climb over fallen tree trunk after fallen tree trunk, and cross potholes and gullies of varying depths, her half-open lips turned purple and white, and her breathing came out of her mouth as heavy as a bellows.
"How long can you run like this?"
Qi Ji's expression became somewhat solemn, and his dark brown eyes revealed a hint of regret.
"The 'last country' that man mentioned... is it one of your towns?
"But there are no human settlements within ten kilometers. In your current state...how far can you run?"
Behind the orange-haired girl, a dozen deformed monsters of various shapes and sizes, dripping with blood, were chasing her.
They moved extremely fast but made almost no noise, quietly and closely following the orange-haired girl a few dozen meters behind her, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Rather than a ferocious and hideous monster, it is more like a ghost wandering in the darkness, seeking revenge.
Although the orange-haired girl was running as fast as she could, her strength was gradually exhausted after running for so long, and her speed was visibly slowing down.
If she continued like this, she would be caught up in a few minutes and become torn into pieces in the monster's mouth just like those people in the camp.
Qi Ji had already foreseen the ending of this girl, and reluctantly shifted his perception away, preparing to return his attention to reality and end this "exploration".
"……what?"
But a second before she was about to do so, she was suddenly surprised to find...
There seemed to be some kind of ambiguous connection between my perception and that of the orange-haired girl?
"Wait, it seems that I can let my perception 'possess' a person, and then, I can share senses with the possessed object, see what the other person sees, and hear what the other person hears.
“At the same time, unlike before, we won’t suffer from information distortion and loss of connection due to the increase in distance, and can only explore the area of dozens of kilometers near the seal.
"It is equivalent to treating the possessed object as my own 'base station', which becomes a relay station for my perceived 'signals'."
After discovering this, Qi Ji's eyes suddenly lit up.
"And if that's the case, then I can probably 'instill' the knowledge I know directly into the possessed object, so that the other party can also learn this knowledge!"
She stood up from the rocking chair, her eyes sparkling with a bright light.
A slightly excited smile appeared on that flawless face.
She thought of a way.
The one who could save the girl from certain death...
Method.

=========================
"Hahaha……"
The heavy breathing sound, like a broken bellows, whistled inside the body.
Hill's lungs felt so hot that they seemed to explode. The air was so dry that it almost created sparks. It kept washing over his throat, and a strong, fishy and sweet smell was rushing through his nasal cavity.
Sweat kept oozing out, quickly taking away her little physical strength.
"Boom! Boom!..."
She felt her heart beating wildly in her neck, hitting the back of her neck and head again and again.
Every beat darkened the gradually blurry vision.
Her chest rose and fell with difficulty, causing waves of unbearable pain, tearing at her remaining will and desire to live.
There was a meaningless buzzing sound in my ears, as if a group of hornets were flying frantically inside my skull.
She was so tired that even breathing was difficult for her.
The muscles in my legs felt sore and painful as if they were being stabbed by needles, and felt as heavy as if I were stuck in a quagmire.
"Plop!——"
"Uh-huh!"
Suddenly, her feet went weak and she fell forward uncontrollably.
