Chapter 02:ㅤMadmanㅤ[edited]
ㅤ
There were a total of ten special operations teams under the name of the Department of Elimination and Investigation, each made up of top-notch sentinels and guides who were one in ten thousand.
If the first team to the sixth team would occasionally step in to assist in high-risk incidents that other teams could not handle, then the ones that could make the seventh or higher team step in are undoubtedly of the catastrophic level of special danger level accidents.
But the reason why the Seventh Team would appear here this time was not because of the explosion of the hazard level, but because they really just happened to pass by.
In a way, even the members of the Seventh Team themselves do not know why they are suddenly involved in this operation.
They still remembered that ten minutes ago, all of them were happily deciding to go find a box to have a good time.
Then they heard a call for support on a special internal communication channel, and in the blink of an eye, they were "packed" here by the boss.
By the time he rushed into the building, Shen Wenyan, who charged at the frontline in full armor, still had a face of disbelief: "So, the vacation we've been waiting for is just gone? Really, gone?!"
The others wisely remained silent.
After a while, Shen Wenyan heard the man behind him give a laugh in an unknown tone: "Didn't you say you wanted to find a place to relax? Is bringing you here not enough for you to unwind?"
Shen Wenyan choked up.
When he turned back, he met a pair of eyes that were not smiling, and was shocked by the overwhelming emotions inside, and suddenly realized: "Enough! Especially enough! Boss, I can relax as much as I want, this place is absolutely a surprise!"
The man who was called boss was none other than the leader of the Seventh Team, Su Fengzhou.
Everyone still kept moving quickly, and amid the unpredictable light, the twilight afterglow had gradually darkened, setting off the upright and good-looking features on that face even more deeply.
The tall figure was wrapped in the black uniform, clearly setting off the outline of his strong muscles. On that face, the slightly raised corners of his eyes were dyed with a hint of scarlet, which made the appearance that clearly made people subconsciously want to take another look also have a bit of hostility to keep away from strangers.
The people who have been with Su Fengzhou for a while knows that he was obviously "sick" again.
The hissing sound from the unknown organism filled the winding stairway with a heavy and eerie sound.
The other members of the team stopped at a stone's throw away and made a path for Su Fengzhou in unison.
Then, they saw their captain sharpening the special metal knife hanging from his waist with his fingertips, his tongue gently licking over the corner of his dry lips, and walking straight into the hunting area.
Facing these alien bodies that have great immunity to the new energy guns, sometimes, returning to the nature of cold weapons was the ultimate means of killing the strongest.
With the departure of Su Fengzhou, the solemn and dignified pressure around him suddenly dropped.
Shen Wenyan's tense state finally relaxed. He slowly breathed out, but he still felt some lingering palpitations: "What's the situation? The physiological period of other girls only comes once a month. How many times has the boss come this month?"
Rong Yun, as the only guide of the Seventh Team, had very thoughtfully erected a tight mental protection barrier around the building at this time.
Hearing this, she blurted out with great precision: "It's the third time."
After the words fell, the surroundings were subtly quiet for a while.
Everyone exchanged glances in unison, their expressions slightly grave.
This frequency has apparently been increasing since last July.
This was undoubtedly a very dangerous sign.
The people on the outside naturally also noticed the spiritual protection barrier erected by the guides around the high-rise buildings.
Immediately after that, their attention was drawn to the loud and clear wolf howl coming from across the sky.
It was no secret that the spiritual body of the Seventh Team's leader, Su Fengzhou, was a black wolf in the related fields.
But from the perspective of the people at the entrance, for a period of time, there was always only one figure shuttling between the appalling number of foot limbs of the aliens.
Although they had long heard that the leader of the Seventh Team was very fond of physical action, the other members watched the show more simply than expected.
But in the final analysis, the internal arrangements of the action team are not to be dictated by others.
At least in the short term, no one will pay attention to the division of labor in the Seventh Team.
At present, the position of the 18th floor where the alien was located showed an unexpected combat effect.
Within a few moments of the encounter alone, patches of wall had begun to burst open one after another after suffering tremendous physical damage.
The walls that shattered with a loud bang collapsed one by one, shaking off a thick cloud of dust around the entire high-rise building.
As Group E's leader of Ningcheng Research Institute, Chen Sining didn't go to the accident sites to investigate any less, but it was still his first time witnessing such a spectacular elimination scene.
Subconsciously, he held his breath and swallowed: "Is the lethality of the top sentinels so strong?"
It's not that he hadn't seen sentinels do it before, but according to the shocking level in the visual effects, the ten of those people added up together cannot compare with Su Fengzhou in front of them.
This spiritual body is probably not a black wolf but more like an Alaskan from the same canine family, right? This is a complete demolition of the house, ah!
The person in charge of the scene next to him also felt some emotion when he heard Chen Sining's words: "How else can we say that the sleeping madman is the top humanoid weapon in the ten action teams? Since he was transferred to the Seventh Team, the number of 'accidents' handled was innumerable, not to mention that he was still in the cave at that time...... cough, anyway, it's fortunate that we bumped into him nearby today. Otherwise, I'm afraid we'd be in real trouble."
At this point, his hanging heart gradually fell down.
The person in charge of the scene also had a slightly relieved smile on his face and secretly wiped the palm of his hand. Only then did he realize that his hands were full of cold sweat.
Although the defense team on the other side of the cave undoubtedly has responsibility for the alien leakage, but if there are derivative accidents due to unfavorable elimination and investigation in his jurisdiction, he was also really prepared to abdicate.
Ying Xize stood not far away.
He did not seem to hear the conversation between the two; his eyes always calmly rested in the direction of the tall building.
The two sides were still a long way apart. But by virtue of the guide's own five senses, which are much sharper than those of ordinary people, he could still clearly see the figure passing through the floor from time to time.
It was like a large-scale violent demolition site, and that tall figure was undoubtedly the main source of all the outbreaks.
Ying Xize's pretty eyebrows slowly twisted up a few points.
He could feel a subtle fluctuation in the air.
This is the spiritual wave fluctuation belonging to the sentinel.
Looming silently beside him, carrying the emotions of the bearer itself, vaguely filled with foolish impatience and tearing.
It was very faint.
From their state of conversation as if no one else was around, they apparently didn't notice at all, which made Ying Xize even doubt that it was his own illusion.
After all, there was obviously a very strong advanced guide within the Seventh Team, and only with absolute suppression in spiritual strength could a new protective layer stand arbitrarily and presumptuously in the spiritual barrier erected by the other guides outside. This also made it almost impossible for everything, including spiritual power, to leak.
But even so, Ying Xize was still very sure that the oppressive spiritual power he felt, which was on the verge of exploding at any time, was absolutely real.
It took about half an hour or so for the frenzied blasting inside the tall building to die down.
The convergence of the spiritual barrier seemed to release a safety signal, and the taut heartstrings of the people at the scene were finally completely loosened.
The person in charge of the scene carried out the deployment quickly and resolutely, and then all the relevant departments rushed to the site at the first opportunity to deal with the aftermath.
This tall building was clearly the alien's most significant stronghold.
Just walking through the door, the strong smell of decay made some of the less experienced staff lean over and retch.
Others, though their faces were inevitably a little pale, still braced themselves to continue to walk inside.
And then, the picture they saw was undoubtedly even more shocking.
It was only at this time that everyone finally knew where the people in the community had gone.
Not only in the aisles, but the entire entrance of the building was strewn with corpses in various positions, some retaining at least the most basic human form, while others had apparently undergone mutations. From the neck down, the arms and legs had a tendency to become clearly Arthropodic, but this still did not put a stop to them from becoming the food in the alien creature's mouth.
These creatures, which can still be called humans for the time being, are almost wrapped in green mucus, and their clothes are already somewhat mottled. The thyroid-like mutation on the skin slightly hindered the rate of corrosion, while some fleshy parts that haven't had time to mutate have already completely softened and deeply sunken in a very strange shape, as if they were dissolved by some special chemical reagent on the spot.
The scene was so bizarre that even the word "horrific" wasn't enough to describe it.
Some people with lower working age have relatively weak psychological endurance. They could hardly vomit anything, and they could only run out before their psychological defense completely collapsed.
The scene was inevitably a little chaotic for a while.
But in such a place, the man's overly casual voice became the only background sound, which seemed a bit out of place: "Thoughts? I'm just here to help with the 'accident', what else can I think? As for how this thing could silently sneak into the city, I think you should ask the guard posts at the Chenshan Cave rather than asking us frontline cadres who voluntarily sacrificed our good vacation and chose to devote ourselves to the battle of guarding the people for free. Usually, this kind of temporary overtime can be paid double wages."
Su Fengzhou held a mint cigarette in his mouth that he fished out from nowhere, and the sparks on the cigarette rose and fell as he spoke.
Just from the expression on his face, it seemed that he was apparently not satisfied with the staff responsible for the field recording. The staff stuttered a bit during the inquiry process. He was swept with such deep eyes at this point that his entire back went cold, and a layer of cold sweat had seeped down.
Shivering, the pen in his hand almost fell to the ground: "You, you are right, but after all, you were the only one at the scene just now. It is not convenient for me to ask others about the specific situation ah......"
As he spoke, he had to turn his line of sight to Shen Wenyan next to him for help.
Shen Wenyan sympathized with this young man who was sticking to his post, but on the other hand, he also knew that Su Fengzhou, who was not calm enough at this time, was really not easy to provoke.
But he was a person who tended to be soft-hearted. In the end, he cleared his throat and helped deal with it in time: "Boss, it's not easy for a young man to do this job. How did you feel when you did the ticket just now? Let's talk about it briefly?"
"Feeling? What feeling can I have?"
Su Fengzhou's eyes narrowed slightly for a few moments, as if he was recalling, "To tell you the truth, the skin of this thing today is indeed much harder than those I've ever encountered. I can hardly cut it with this knife. The limbs are quite a lot, and I don't know how it grew. There are seven or eight of them and it was a little interesting to take them apart, especially the feeling of flesh exploding when the last knife is inserted. Tsk, it's really this kind of desperate struggle that can make people feel the most pleasant. Don't you think so?"
Shen Wenyan habitually supported: "Of course! You are so right!"
Su Fengzhou was obviously very satisfied with this answer, and his eyes were filled with a smile of enjoyment.
The knife resting on his side was still stained with viscous liquid. He swept his eyes down, his expression even showing a sense of unfulfillment about the battle just now.
The black wolf that has not yet been retrieved from the spiritual picture originally ambled soundlessly at the feet of Su Fengzhou. At this time, it also seemed to feel the excitement from its master and looked over with a morose gaze.
Su Fengzhou's smile fell into the eyes of the recorder, and out of instinct, his trembling became more intense.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone even: "Is there anything else you want to say besides that?"
"No, I've never been one to talk much."
Su Fengzhou looked straight at the recorder.
At a slightly closer distance, the scarlet cigarette end almost brushed the other person's face.
Too close, the recorder could even clearly see the anticipation surging under those eyes.
The scarlet that had not subsided from the corners of his eyes was exceptionally clear.
Su Fengzhou's low voice was hoarse like a murmur: "Or, if there are other interesting things hidden in this district that can keep me entertained, perhaps I can help you dig deeper. Of course, after all, the main body has been taken care of. But in case there are other mutations occurring..."
"Boss, adjust your emotions first! Boss, you control a little!" Shen Wenyan saw that Su Fengzhou was about to reach the other party. In a hurry, he pulled him aside and patted his back to appease him. "The things that should be handled here have been dealt with by you just now, and we've also warmed up a while ago. Let's calm down properly and adjust the state well first. Do you think it's okay?"
Su Fengzhou looked up and glanced at Shen Wenyan.
There seemed to be some extra emotions that were hard to hide under his deep eyes, wanting to surge. And with a deep puff of smoke, it was finally and forcibly suppressed by an invisible willpower.
In the silence, Su Fengzhou gently shook the cigarette.
The scattered sparks gently landed on their feet and were completely extinguished in an instant.
"En, that's it for today."
He lowered his eyes loosely, held his body against the wall, and slowly closed his eyes as he listened to the footsteps of people around him without speaking again.
