The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 672 - 665: Fear

The Serpent People finally took the field themselves; hearing this news wasn’t surprising.

"We can’t run."

Ram pointed indifferently to the Mecha and then he said calmly, "Without power output, the Mecha can’t move. The tanks are out of fuel, some armored vehicles can no longer move forward, while others might be able to make it a few tens of kilometers. We have no trucks, no off-road vehicles, Gao Yuan is seriously injured, and Xinghe’s attack used up all the remaining energy, just like a drained battery. She can’t even open the Mecha unless the 59改 restores power output; otherwise, none of us can move."

Yang Yi was silent; he let out a soft sigh and said, "Then gather all the remaining fuel and have Xinghe and Gao Yuan leave with the Ark of the Covenant and the Revelation."

Ram nodded, "That’s the only way."

Yang Yi suddenly laughed and said, "Not to say, naming things back home is really casual. Such advanced equipment, and yet they called it 59改! Totally kills the vibe."

Ram chuckled, "If one day humans could travel through the stars, and our folks back home rolled out a super 59改, it wouldn’t surprise me. Think about it, it actually has a nice ring to it."

Yang Yi curled his lip, and Ram sighed, "Let’s not talk about this. Tell me about the Serpent People."

"The Serpent People came down in a kind of flying craft, triangular, a long triangle shape, with a tail that emits blue light, very fast; look, see for yourself."

Yang Yi pointed to the sky, and Ram followed Yang Yi’s hand and saw a small spacecraft that had appeared from the direction of Djibouti at some unknown time.

All the flight vehicles of the Serpent People can hover freely, and now, a triangular flying craft about the size of an F-15 fighter was hovering about less than five hundred meters from where Ram and the others were, and at an altitude of no more than two hundred meters.

If you say there are still secrets about the Serpent People, that would be self-deception.

Ram had the feeling that all his privacy was being spied upon. He looked at the aircraft in the air and suddenly asked, "Where are the people?"

"In the sky."

"I mean the Serpent People."

"Yeah, the Serpent People’s craft has been following us overhead. We run a bit, they follow a bit; and also, the thousands of Sanitation Workers in Djibouti have all turned into zombie monsters. At first, at least a few thousand were chasing us, but as soon as this aircraft appeared, those Sanitation Workers who just turned into zombies stopped. Then, roughly two hundred zombies were driven by the craft to bite down on us relentlessly."

Yang Yi sighed helplessly, "We ran more than two hundred and seventy kilometers, more than two hundred kilometers! Those zombies kept chasing after us, without slowing down, without falling behind, just running and following us. I’ve been thinking, even if a person becomes a zombie, the materials themselves wouldn’t change, right? The distance is so far, the speed so fast, how did they run."

Ram whispered, "Remind you of Gao Yuan?"

"Hmm?"

"Incredible strength, unbelievable speed; these zombies may not run as fast as Gao Yuan, but their stamina is much stronger than his."

At that moment, some of the Black Devil’s men walked over, and Grewatov said directly, "Arrange for Gao Yuan and Xinghe to leave; we can talk about the rest later."

Ram pointed to the spacecraft in the sky and said to Grewatov, "We were talking about the Serpent People. Tell me, why don’t they just eliminate us now when they obviously can?"

Grewatov didn’t speak; Tarta said indifferently, "Notice, observe, judge, study, and finally draw conclusions. Think about what a human zoologist would do when they discover a new species? The Serpent People would basically have the same approach, it’s the universal method of higher beings towards lower ones, universal in the cosmos."

Ram frowned, "But the Serpent People should have understood humans a long time ago."

Tarta laughed, "Really understand? No, the Serpent People now realize that humans are different from other humans. With this thing around, the Serpent People want to study it carefully."

Tarta referred to the 59改 and continued, "Look at this vehicle that can provide energy to the Mecha. Humans didn’t have it before, but now we do, so the Serpent People want to understand why humans now possess this. We’ve received help from the Celestials, so for the Serpent People, isn’t it necessary to find out what kind of help the Celestials provided to humans?"

Grewatov spoke calmly, "Now, the Serpent People are not only observing us but the Celestials too."

Ram sighed, "Last night, Xinghe took action herself, using the strongest weapon of the Celestials to eliminate almost all of the Serpent People’s monsters."

Tarta laughed, "Now the Serpent People know we possess the secret of Immortality, they know of the Celestials’ existence, they know the Celestials have technology that surpasses theirs, and they also know Xinghe is right here. So, I have no doubt that the Serpent People will capture Xinghe when they think the time is right. Why the Serpent People aren’t interested in the secret of Immortality we hold, my guess is, the Serpent People think it’s more convenient and direct to capture Xinghe than to get information from us."

Ram turned to Yang Yi, "You didn’t finish... You couldn’t give the secret of Immortality to the Serpent People?"

With the Serpent People right overhead, Ram didn’t think they couldn’t hear what they were saying, so he didn’t even want to mention the word ’poisoning plan.’

Yang Yi said indifferently, "Unfortunately, no. The Serpent People launched an attack the moment they arrived, and everyone died instantly. Umm, Murphy has gone ahead to find you guys. If he hasn’t arrived yet, then he’s probably turned into a zombie. My guess is everyone who received the second vaccine shot will turn into a zombie."

Tarta looked at the aircraft in the sky emanating blue light, a troubled look on his face, "I have no doubt now that the Serpent People have locked onto Xinghe. It’s not surprising."

Ram was puzzled and whispered, "What exactly do the Serpent People want to do, what do they really want?"

Tarta said, "I think it’s a study, obviously."

Grewatov smiled, "I think it’s like a cat playing with a mouse. The Serpent People are absolutely confident; they want to see what else we can come up with."

Yang Yi thought about it and then said very seriously, "I think the Serpent People are looking for an opportunity to encircle and wipe us out once and for all."

Ram spoke slowly, "You’re all correct. Based on my judgment, the Serpent People have the absolute power to finish us in one go. They’re not moving because they want to observe us, to see what other moves we have. But my intuition tells me, the Serpent People are afraid, they’re not not acting out of not wanting to, but out of fear, or at least wariness; the Serpent People are somehow wary of us."
