Chapter 18 Assassination Team
The community has been relatively peaceful recently, and for at least a month, there has been no such terrifying aberration as Mr. Tony the scissors, and everyone is content.
But in this social atmosphere, human distortions are happening all the time.
As evening approaches, residents of the old city are snapping up temporary specials from convenience stores. Suddenly, with a "bang" sound, the trash can by the road was kicked down, and Gululu rolled to the side.
A thin man wearing only shorts walked over barefoot and let out a strange laugh. His degree of mechanization is not high, and the surface of his body is still human skin tissue, but no one will think that he is a normal person.
Because his entire head swelled three times in size, his facial features protruded from the skin, like a giant winter melon on a straw.
The terrified people fled in all directions as the men shuffled like zombies.
"There are aberrants!"
"Run ah ah ah ah!"
Immediately, the broadcast on the telephone pole immediately issued a circular warning, and an invisible force field rose up, wrapping the old house like soap bubbles. People were in a panic, all kinds of sundries were knocked over, messy footsteps, and the cries of children were a mess.
Although the degree of mechanization of the aberrant who caused the panic is not very high, it is still judged by the national security system as an irregular dangerous object.
[Urgent: There are D-level aberrants near the convenience store in the old city, the number is 1, please go to the nearby mercenaries to support immediately! ]
In all qualified mercenary personal terminals, this urgent task is automatically broadcast in the form of voice broadcast, and it bounces to the top of the message record.
The deformed man stretched out his disastrous arms, and repeated inexplicable sentences in his grinning mouth: "Eat people~ Eat people~ Eat..."
Because of the swelling of his head, his facial features were opened in equal proportions, and his eyes bulged out. Fall out at any time. The mouth grows so big, the teeth grow crookedly, and there is still suspicious red flesh hanging from the corners of the mouth.
But even with this ghostly appearance, the man still has normal perception.
His eyes rolled around, and finally his eyes landed on his chest, where there was a small red dot.
"Crack!" He slapped himself on the body.
But the red dot landed on the back of his hand as if it would move.
The distorted man stopped, and his swollen brain thought slowly, recalling what it was. And the boss who was hiding on the second floor of the convenience store not far away also spied carefully through the window, and the lively neighborhood just now was silent.
Normal people know: the red is not the dot, it is the gun's aiming line.
The next moment, with a sound of "Bang——", a red bullet went straight through the Aberrant's chest, and inertia knocked him to the ground.
Blood gushed out, the pale human limbs twitched, and the aberrant tried to get up while holding on to the huge head, but the wound on his chest quickly burst into flames.
In just a second, the red flames swept through the deformer's body, burning him to pieces in front of everyone's eyes.
[D-level aberrant, has died. ]
[Dangerous clearing is successful, the force field is lifted, the emergency mission is completed, and the reward is being settled. 】
From the appearance of the aberrant to the end, the whole process only took five minutes.
"It's too fast, really dead?" The
convenience store owner walked down from the second floor with lingering fears, just in time to see a short girl appearing, with a platinum gun on her shoulder, obviously dressed very plainly The combat uniform looks valiant.
Zero checked the deformer's body, reported the specific location, and waited for the cleaning robot to deal with the funeral.
Of course, she didn't forget to 'recycle' the other party's system authority, even if the power was minimal and there was no special ability.
Once upon a time, he panicked when he heard the alarm sound, and was locked in the force field, struggling to the death, waiting for the ethereal rescue.
Now, she has become the one who can stand up to protect everyone.
Opportunities are what you hold in your own hands.
Because the killing process was too fast, some people didn't have time to run far, they turned around and ran back when they heard the news. "We also have such a powerful mercenary
in our community!"
"It's amazing."
"Little sister, it was amazing just now! It's so handsome!" I haven't communicated with people normally in 2000. I was scared to death when I saw this battle, so I quickly pulled up my hood and left with a shy smile. It was getting dark, and she was strolling in the alleys of the old town. During this period of time, when she has no assignments, she works part-time nearby. The flower shop sells flowers and distributes flyers. Although the pay is not much, it is enough for daily meals. After the sun went down, the neon lights of various colors seemed to come to life, turning into gorgeous plastic sheets to cover the garbage in this city. Anesthetize people's distress with hilarity and virtual entertainment. The voice of a lonely solitary guest singing love songs faintly floated in the air, out of tune and hoarse. Zero hooked the corners of his lips, walked through the iron gate of the community with a bag of nutrients in his mouth, and said hello to the security robot standing by the door, "Good evening!" When walking alone, the Bubble Bobble watch on his wrist vibrated. She tapped the dial with her fingertips: "Bao, I just solved a D-class aberrant in the community! It only took five minutes, you see it!" "But it's strange, he doesn't have many mechanical parts at all! And I've seen it before The deformed people who have been there have normal human heads, just like the scissors man and the B-class giants, but now this one has only abnormal heads and normal bodies." An Ling's calm voice sounded in the earphones: "Zero is very powerful, You solved the problem before the other mercenaries arrived, as expected of you."
He began to answer the second question, "The speed of genetic disease outbreaks is related to one's physique and emotions. Mechanical modification can only delay the degree of the disease, but cannot solve the problem in essence. This D-class aberration has the disease in the brain, it is impossible for him to do so. Replace yourself with a mechanical brain flower, so although the distortion speed is fast, the strength is not strong."
"Zero's reaction speed and power control have been improved to a certain extent, about 1%, and make persistent efforts."
"Pfft, Dabao, you still have You will praise people..." Zero didn't say a word, and An Ling's warning suddenly sounded in his earphones, his voice was rarely urgent, "Dangerous, hurry up and lower your head-!!"
Between the lights and flints, Zero has always been the key. The latent ability that was only effective all of a sudden burst out, and in less than half a second of reaction time, she squatted down with her arms raised and hugged her head.
Before she fully squatted down, she heard a crisp "bang" and hit her left arm with a bullet from nowhere, and the bullet was deeply embedded in the metal.
At the same time, the second shot came quickly, and the watch on the wrist was interrupted by a "bang" and hit the ground.
The whole person was staggered by inertia, and he took a few steps back before standing up.
——The visitor used a large-caliber sniper/sniper rifle, which had an amazing lethality.
The position of the bullet hole in her left arm emitted zizi electric light, and there was a slight short circuit, and she could faintly see the pitch-black projectile inside. And this bullet seems to have a special effect, so that her prosthetic limb loses the ability to transform into a gun.
If it hadn't been avoided in time, the bullet would not have hit the robotic arm, but her head.
Zero's heart is cold. The enemy did not succeed, and naturally he would not give up so easily.
In just a moment, she had heard the sound of several footsteps approaching.
The alley was empty and there was no shelter except for a telephone pole. Zero glanced at the broken watch on the ground, turned around and ran back.
She tried her best, but attacking was faster than running away.
In an instant, four or five aiming red lines fell on different sides of the body, completely blocking the way. Zero felt that the blood in his body was stagnant, his adrenaline was soaring, and his heartbeat and breathing were infinitely amplified.
When the dark enemy opened fire, she couldn't hear anything.
"Bang bang bang -" The sound of the bullets was dense and fast, like a torrential rain.
Between the lightning and flint, a thin and slender figure rushed out from the side, yanked her arm violently, and blocked all the attacks with itself.
Amidst the roar, Zero knelt on the ground and covered his ears with his hands. When the movement subsided, there was the sound of something heavy falling on his side.
She opened her eyes carefully, and saw a familiar robot fell to the ground, beaten to the ground, scorching white smoke wafting from its back, and its arms were still in a protective posture.
It's... that shabby security robot.
All the bullets that had just shot at her were blocked by it. The security robot's old shell was now riddled with holes, and the highly lethal bullets were embedded in its body, breaking the spine and the main board.
Zero looked at the familiar broken arm, and took a long time to find his voice.
"No. 3386?"
Realizing that she was not injured, the security robot opened its mouth to say something, but couldn't move. Its two round eyes lit up, seemed to have exhausted its last strength and went out.
The surroundings were quiet again.
Zero sat on the ground, in front of the robot that had been completely scrapped, and behind him was a dark alley with no one who knew how many enemy troops there were.
This too easy and ordinary life made her forget for a while: The Third Research Institute always wanted her brain slices.
And even if she changed her hair color, she still paid attention to covering her face when she went out, and Dabao helped to modify the data and cover up, she would still be found after all.
They pinpointed the time she would go home every day, pinpointed the gaps where no one was around, and even deliberately broke her watch so that she couldn't ask for help.
It was a murder against Unit Zero.
Holding her arms, Zero shivered and stood up: "Come out! You lackeys!"
Through the dimly lit street lights, she vaguely saw a few figures squatting or standing, and she didn't know who was laughing, contemptuous. A smile blew along the undisturbed smell of gunpowder, making Zero anger burn.
Of course, the assassination team is not an ordinary person. They are an assassination organization specializing in special tasks within the government army. As the private property of the research institute, the No. 0 machine must not be lost. One of the assassins looked at the frail girl not far away, and said in a cool tone: "I can't tell, but she has some skills. In order to get a photo of her appearing, I searched for a whole month. " It doesn't matter if she is alive or dead for the body tissue of Unit 0?" "A living body is always better." "Then I will break her leg and bring her back." The person who spoke earlier was about to walk forward when suddenly Hold down by the captain. "Wait." The battle-hardened assassination team's intuition was astonishingly accurate. Even though there was only the girl who was pushed down in front of them, the danger alert in their hearts kept roaring, as if a huge threat was approaching. The next moment, the broken watch lying on the concrete floor sent out a zizi arc, and the bullet originally embedded in it was spit out. Then, countless surging silver-white particles emerged from the watch, more and more, like a conscious metal fluid, gradually converging into a tall human figure without facial features. At the moment when the humanoid appeared, the assassination team that was pressing forward decisively chose to retreat. They used the accelerator and almost disappeared into the alley as if flying. Zero stood there dumbfounded, watching the silver-white man gradually have human facial features, skin, and clothing, and finally transformed into a normal young man within a dozen seconds.
He turned his head to look in her direction: "I have informed Sid, go home immediately, don't go out tonight." The
voice fell, and he turned into a silver-white streamer, swept forward at a very fast speed Go and disappear in the alley in an instant.
Zero glanced at the other's yellow eyes, but didn't see his face clearly.
But she couldn't be more familiar with this voice.
It's a big treasure.
The Assassination Squad is experienced, of course, they have already picked the best evacuation route. The five-person team rode motorcycles and ran on the road, rushing into the deserted suburbs at the speed of extreme racing, where there was a large abandoned factory and a small lake around.
The roar of the motorcycles broke the silence. They circled around the factory to make a terrifying noise. When they passed a factory, they jumped suddenly, and five motorcycles flew out and hit the wall with a "boom". A deafening explosion sounded, and billowing flames burned the abandoned factory building. The five-person assassination team took the opportunity to leave from the upper wind, sneaked into the lake under the cover of the fire, and walked along the muddy waterway along the shore to distance themselves. The black lake has no light source, and no one will find it again with the lush water plants. The appearance of the mysterious man forced them to choose the safest way to get out. "How can there be a nano-robot!" "The shock bomb was broken free in only ten seconds." "The mission is suspended today, and I will report to the peak as soon as I go back." The assassination team gritted their teeth. On the other side, although he was at least half a minute behind, An Ling did not hesitate to catch up in the direction the other party fled. The traces of the motorcycle were easy to trace, and he found this abandoned factory almost instantly. The inside of the factory was messed up by the explosion, and there were constantly secondary explosions of things containing combustibles. The thick smoke covered all the smells, and the strong fire burned the sky red. Because of the soaring popularity, most of the thermal imaging functions possessed by the transformants also failed.
Anling scanned around and found that there were at least four or five paths near the factory, each leading to a different urban area, and the traces were indistinguishable.
In this case, the escape of the assassination team is normal.
But An Ling is not a normal person.
Not to mention that all the road monitoring, cameras, and sky eyes on the roadside are his ears and eyes, just because of the ray scanning function that comes with this body, all living bodies in his eyes are like luminous shadows suddenly appearing in black and white pictures, not at all. There is a distinction between camouflaging or not camouflaging.
The five-member team dragged a muddy body and swam to the other side of the lake, without causing any movement.
"Start the airship, and switch to stealth mode."
"Yes."
As long as they board the stealth boat, it will be difficult for the gods to find the trail.
Before his fingers could touch the start button, the team member suddenly felt like a awn on his back, turned his head, and a tide of silver-white particles that was constantly surging and reorganizing was rapidly approaching, and it crossed the lake in an instant.
"It's catching up!"
"Ah, ah, ah!" The
five lost their composure and shot frantically with their guns. The bullets at this moment will only be denser than the raindrops, but no matter how much ammunition is thrown into the opponent's body, there will only be waves of ripples, like a pool of mud.
They watched the silver particle robot surging, and finally transformed into a long thorn in an instant. It flew towards this side in a hurry, directly piercing one of the protective shields, body armor, and mechanical shell, and pierced him like a piece of tofu.
Without waiting for the remaining people to counterattack, the thorn reorganized and moved in an instant, killing the other three in the same way, and the whole process did not exceed ten seconds.
When the bodies of the four squad members around him all collapsed softly, the only surviving assassination squad leader looked at the nano-robot in front of him re-condensed into a human form, only to feel a cold sweat on his back, and he was in a state of extreme panic.
"You were sent by the Third Research Institute," the robot said.
His inorganic yellow eyes fell on him, and he stated without emotion: "Borot, former army captain, citizen ID: xxxx, died three years ago in the archives. Now codenamed Ye Xiao, he was ordered to support the Third Research Institute. , to assist in genetic modification, collection of experimental bodies, destruction of failed bodies, etc."
The man called Bolot was shocked: "How do you know the government's S-class secrets, you are...!"
An Ling remained expressionless . , but the calm words declared the death penalty.
"It's unforgivable to shoot at zero."
Borrott was dragged into the lake, and he finally knew before he died.
In the face of some existences, these people have almost no fighting power.
The author has something to say:
It's not that Anling doesn't want to show up, it's the electric shock that temporarily short-circuits the watch. After all, he is also a robot, but the combat effectiveness is not the strongest. After all, it is a service-oriented AI, and it is a programmer.
ps: The next chapter is the No. 3386 episode, which can be skipped without any plot promotion.
