Chapter 1292: Chapter 724: Forbidden Enigma

Chen Yehu’s eyes sparkled, and he became excited all over.

As for the loss of over a thousand farmers at the production base, that’s nothing. Just shift the blame onto the wild people.

“Keep moving forward,” Chen Yehu said. “These four team leaders are dutiful talents. I can sense their vitality and spirit from the video. Courageous and responsible grassroots cadres like these should be promoted more often.”

“Received,” the Chief of Staff said.

…

…

The refugee team continued forward, and along the way, refugees were dying sporadically. The combat staff kept recording geographic features and rules.

Seeing that more than half of the refugees had already been killed or injured, nine rules had been collected.

However, the Chen Clan staff didn’t feel anything wrong. The rules of Taboo Land 008 were famously many, which was why it became a southwestern barrier.

At this point, they were immersed in the joy of ‘harvest’ and only wished the refugees to test all the rules!

As they waited, the staff stared intently at the screen, and Chen Yehu kept watching without slacking off.

Suddenly he wondered aloud, “It’s strange. Based on the historical records from the previous civilization era, I thought the rules here would be related to the experimental subjects, but these rules are varied and irregular.”

The Chief of Staff thought for a moment before explaining, “After that nuclear bomb fell, everyone in the entire city died. There must have been quite a few hidden Transcendents in a city, which is actually normal. Sir, according to our private statistics, a city hides about 80-120 Transcendents of varying strengths that haven’t been discovered by the consortium. Among them, there might be 5-20 B-Class or above. So if Taboo Land 008 has 30 rules, I wouldn’t be surprised.”

“Then it’s even more treacherous than Taboo Land 002,” Chen Yehu said. “If this Taboo Land can be fully understood, all 120 members of the Pioneer Corps should be noted with a second-class merit.”

From a certain perspective, Chen Yehu was a qualified Commander but not a qualified person.

The refugees had been traveling for 6 hours and finally some began to collapse, unable to continue. Others sat down on rocks to rest.

Soon, those resting on rocks also convulsed and suddenly died…

The refugee team suddenly had only two hundred people left, all of whom were elderly and children.

Chen Yehu thought for a moment and said, “Send orders to let them rest briefly and then retreat. I want to precisely test some rules with the remaining refugees.”

“Received,” the Chief of Staff relayed the order to the front line.

But just at that moment, somewhere the video couldn’t see, a dark shadow flashed by.

Someone held a pair of scissors, snip snipping at the shadows of all the Chen Clan soldiers.

In the command vehicle, someone was listening to the eerie metallic scraping sound, with their teeth on edge. Soon, they saw dozens of blurry black shadows suddenly appear in the live video, starting to relentlessly hunt everyone.

The soldiers began shouting in terror, some calling for reinforcements, others exclaiming curses. The video became shaky and unclear, making it difficult even for the command vehicle to see what was happening.

“What’s happening? Why are those black figures so bizarre?” A combat staff member questioned, uncertain.

No faces, no features, extremely mysterious.

Moreover, through the still somewhat stable video surveillance, they found that even when these shadows were shot, they wouldn’t die, nor would they scream in pain.

A soldier fired a burst of bullets at a shadow, yet that shadow remained unaffected, merely slightly hindered in its movements, and then continued to wildly attack the soldier!

Until the soldier was completely killed!

In the video, they could still hear the soldier’s cries of agony… followed by the soldier becoming motionless.

The vacant video angle pointed at the thick treetops.

One by one, Chen Clan soldiers died, eventually leaving the video angles pointing either at the sky or covered underground, leaving no visible specific situation.

In the end, only the videos from four team leaders were still shaking, indicating they were still running.

In the command vehicle, their panting was heard, and the Chief of Staff quickly asked, “Report the situation, what’s going on?!”

Liu Pengsheng hastily replied, “Sir, suddenly a bunch of black shadows emerged from the ground, and they couldn’t be killed, a whole burst of bullets did nothing. Clearly, those bullets hit them, but they just wouldn’t die! It’s terrifying; they disappear and reappear without a trace!”

The second team leader added, “I just saw a shadow disintegrate, as if a soldier shot its navel, which coincidentally killed it. But in rushed combat, aiming at the navel is too difficult; they move very quickly and fearlessly. I suspect this might be some new evil technique developed by a consortium or the ability of some Awakener.”

While speaking, the second team leader suddenly cried out and fell to the ground.

The third team leader said, “I also saw someone shoot the navel and disintegrate those shadows just now; the navel is their fatal weak spot!”

After saying this, this team leader also perished.

Then the fourth team leader…

Only team leader Liu Pengsheng was still running for his life.

Everyone in the command vehicle was unsure and had never heard of such bizarre Awakening ability or evil technique.

“Could it be caused by a Taboo?” someone asked. “Silhouette?”

As one of the Federation’s most famous Taboos, Silhouette naturally came to their minds immediately.
