Xia Chujian's mecha arm raised, activating the silencer. The Xia Zhi 085 Assault Rifle, already loaded, silently spat fire, firing several bullets with lightning speed.
In less than a second, the twenty-one Shang People who had rushed over to assault the women were all shot dead by Xia Chujian's Assault Rifle before they could even reach them.
They were all shot in the back of the head, with little blood flowing out.
But in the bullet holes in the back of their heads, their brain tissue could be seen glowing...
Although she had already killed this group of Shang People attempting to commit violence, Xia Chujian was still not satisfied.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Seven Lù, what's with these Shang People's brains?!"
"Those women's bones are almost melting from the nuclear radiation. How could this Zhong Tiao see that they could still have children?!"
Seven Lù objectively said, "Relatively speaking, these seven women's bodies do appear healthier than everyone else in the pit."
"But in fact, their genes are also severely damaged, and they only have less than a month to live. They can't get pregnant at all."
Meanwhile, the remaining Shang People above the pit looked up in astonishment at the empty sky.
They had clearly seen fire suddenly appear in the sky, and then their people had died just like that! In the next second, these people knelt down with a thud, desperately kowtowing and praying in the direction the bullets had come from.
Seven Lù typed out words on Xia Chujian's heads-up display.
[Seven Lù]: Master, they think of you as a god...
Xia Chujian: "..."
She reactivated the simultaneous translation system in her helmet's headset and heard the Shang People's prayers.
"Almighty Sang He Great God! Please grant us permission!"
"Let us take the strongest of these women back to the tribe to bear children for us."
"The remaining women are sacrifices we offer to the Sang He Great God!"
"We hope the Sang He Great God enjoys the sacrifices and blesses the children born in our tribe to be healthier and healthier..."
They were still after these women.
Xia Chujian no longer hesitated.
She changed the direction of her arm and unhesitatingly continued firing at the Shang People kneeling on the ground.
This time, she still used the silencer.
The Assault Rifle bullets shot out, accurately hitting the tops of the kneeling Shang People's heads.
Xia Chujian killed all the Shang People above the pit, except for the leader named Da Zhao Shi.
The one who looked more normal, more like a human.
Xia Chujian quietly asked Seven Lù, "Are there any other Shang People around?"
Seven Lù said, "There aren't any within ten miles. These are all of them. They're from a tribe about twenty miles away, where there are many more Shang People."
Twenty miles was not a short distance for those Shang People.
Xia Chujian was relieved. She switched her Mecha back to its regular three-meter-tall form, slowly revealing herself in mid-air, descending gradually, and standing opposite the male Shang People Da Zhao Shi.
Da Zhao Shi was initially filled with fear, his legs trembling, and he even lost control of his bladder.
But when he saw the humanoid figure standing before him, he suddenly wasn't afraid at all.
He jumped up angrily and kicked Xia Chujian's Shao Siming Mecha in the knee.
This male Shang People, although taller than the other Shang People, was only about one and a half meters tall.
Even standing up, he was only half as tall as her three-meter Mecha.
And yet, he dared to yell at her. Truly, ignorance is bliss!
Xia Chujian's mechanical arm shot out like lightning, and the muzzle of the Xia Zhi 085 Rifle instantly pressed against the Shang People's head.
The male Shang People, who had been angrily clucking just moments before, seemed to have been paused.
He stopped talking and just stood there with his arms raised, not moving.
Xia Chujian used an electronically synthesized voice to speak.
She used a deep male voice: "Stop pretending, I know you can speak Beichen language."
"I ask, you answer. One wrong answer, and I shoot you."
The male Shang Person named Da Zhao Shi shifted uneasily, but still didn't speak, seemingly trying to bluff his way through.
Xia Chujian continued in her electronically synthesized deep male voice: "You've seen mecha, so you're not panicking at the sight of me."
"If you can see mecha and not panic, you've definitely seen it more than once."
"You might have even done business with people like me."
"And you also understand Beichen language."
"I'll count to three, and if you still don't speak..."
Xia Chujian's mechanical finger rested on the trigger of the Xia Zhi Assault Rifle.
Before she could start counting, the male Shang Person said in an awkward pronunciation, "...You... you ask..."
Xia Chujian pressed the muzzle of the gun against the male Shang Person, not relaxing at all.
She said in a deep voice, "Where exactly did these people in the deep pit come from?"
"Tell the truth! Or I'll blow your brains out!"
Although Xia Chujian had just heard the Shang Person say they were "exchanged" for, she wanted to confirm it again.
Lies and truth reveal their true colors through constant repetition.
The male Shang Person Da Zhao Shi was terrified by the gun pointed at his head, his legs trembling. He finally knelt down again with a thud, his neck stiff as he stammered, "C-captured... captured..."
So he was saying these people were captured by them?
Captured specifically to have children? Didn't he just say they were exchanged for? Trying to lie to her face, huh! Xia Chujian didn't indulge him. Her arm swept out, slamming him to the ground with the butt of the gun, then pressed it against his left temple, asking fiercely, "You? Capture them?! Do you think I don't know who they are?!"
He clearly said they were exchanged for!
Seven Lù said to her in the fully enclosed helmet, "Master, Seven Lù has just scanned the deep pit. There are several sets of destroyed Military Exoskeleton inside."
Ground troops with Military Exoskeleton, captured by these primitive mutated humans wielding branches and stones as weapons?! Still trying to fool her?
He wasn't taking her words seriously!
Xia Chujian switched the Assault Rifle to her left arm, and a wrought iron rod appeared on her mechanical right arm. She then struck the dishonest male Shang Person hard.
The seven women lying on the ground cried out.
"Beat him to death! Beat this beast to death!"
"He forces us to eat those disgusting things every day, paralyzing our bodies!"
"Treating us like livestock!"
No wonder they couldn't escape even with weapons. Their nerves were paralyzed to the point of dysfunction, right? Xia Chujian paused with the mechanical arm holding the wrought iron rod, looking at the male Shang Person on the ground, bleeding all over from her beating.
"Still not telling the truth, huh? You really think I don't dare to kill you?" Xia Chujian's mechanical left arm suddenly extended, the muzzle of the Assault Rifle on her left arm heavily pressed against the male Shang Person's temple, ready to fire.
The male Shang Person finally broke down completely.
He shouted, holding his head, "They are Seed People! People dressed like you exchanged them for me!"
"I gave them Longevity Flying Fish, and they left me normal Seed People to breed."
"I want to use them to improve the offspring of our clan!"
Xia Chujian was so angry she laughed, "Bah! You want to improve your offspring!"
"So vicious and treacherous, what's the point of having offspring!"
Xia Chujian couldn't wait to shoot him immediately, but remembering what the man said, that he had made a "trade" with people dressed like her, her heart sank.
That meant a month ago, a group of Beichen Military people had also come here? They used their own people to exchange for a Longevity Flying Fish with the native Shang People? Most likely the one she had seen in the video?
No wonder she couldn't find the Longevity Flying Fish's trace even if she dug three feet into the ground here!
It had already been traded away...
But why did the Military give them a new mission, telling each team to bring back at least one Longevity Flying Fish? Xia Chujian looked at the angry women, then poked the male Shang Person's head with the muzzle of her gun, and said angrily, "You say exchange, and it's an exchange? Where's the evidence!"
The Da Zhao Shi's legs trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "It was an exchange... They took the Longevity Flying Fish and sent these people to my trap..."
Xia Chujian looked at the seven women lying on the ground and asked in a deep voice, "Is that so?"
The light in these women's eyes dimmed little by little.
They lay flat on the ground, no longer speaking.
Xia Chujian withdrew her gaze and continued to interrogate the male Shang Person Da Zhao Shi: "Who are you trying to fool? You threw these people in a deep pit, and they're all so sick, how can they have children?"
The Da Zhao Shi immediately said, "...They can't have children right away... They are different from us. Without the Sang He Great God's selection, they can't give birth to our children..."
"They have to be left here for a month... to let the Sang He Great God choose..."
"Only those with strong bodies who survive can have children..."
In other words, if these women couldn't withstand the nuclear radiation and died, then there was no need for them to have children, because their bodies were not strong enough.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but "Pui (Pui)" and said angrily, "What the hell?! Still picking and choosing!"
After saying that, she felt a chill down her spine.
She pressed the gun even tighter against the Da Zhao Shi's head and said, "You know they can't have children with you right away? How do you know that?"
The Da Zhao Shi's eyes darted back and forth, and it was clear that he didn't intend to tell the truth.
Xia Chujian immediately took out her half-foot-long Tactical Dagger and, without hesitation, sliced off the Da Zhao Shi's left ear.
A stream of green fluorescent blood flowed out.
The Da Zhao Shi let out a scream, covered his ear, and began to wail.
Xia Chujian's dagger rested on the Da Zhao Shi's right ear, and she said, "If you don't talk, I'll cut you piece by piece until I cut off all the bits and pieces on your body and feed them to the crabs!"
The Da Zhao Shi seemed to have never expected that someone would actually dare to attack him. He looked up at Xia Chujian in uncontrollable anger and roared, "Who are you?! You dare to harm the body of a Da Zhao Shi descendant of the Eternal Lineage! You will be cursed by the Sang He Great God!"
Xia Chujian sneered, "What is the Sang He Great God? Is it worthy of cursing me?!"
"Believe it or not, I'll make it eat its own curse!"
The Da Zhao Shi gasped.
Someone actually dared to disrespect the Sang He Great God! He looked at Xia Chujian with disdain, as if looking at a dead person.
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow: "You don't believe me? Then I'll send you down to ask your Sang He Great God, and see if it believes me."
Bang! Xia Chujian decisively pulled the trigger, and a bullet entered the Da Zhao Shi's head, splattering his brains and killing him on the spot.
This is the second update, there will be a new update at five past zero tonight.
