There was silence in the communication channel for a moment, except for the port of the combatant who had heard the screams earlier, flickering, silently playing the evening breeze in the forest.

This wind is obviously no different from what everyone hears in their ears, but I don't know why, but it sounds extremely weird and crazy.

It's as if a wild beast lurking in the wind, quietly waiting to hunt its next prey.

"The first emergency team went to the southeast 273 area to investigate the situation, and the others were vigilant and continued to act!"

Mingyang's calm voice broke the strange atmosphere in the communication channel.

The combatants who heard the order immediately put aside the distractions in their minds and began to take action one after another.

With work in hand and busyness, those false speculations and fears in my heart faded.

Ji Xiong was also very curious about what was happening in Area 273, which was located in the southeast of the forest, so he approached Mingyang and followed the advance of the first emergency team with the help of the action recorder, observing possible clues.

The entire action system consists of six environmental positioning probes and a recording and transmission device installed on the members of the operation team.

The action team is a group of seven, which means that there are nearly fifty camera points.

This was enough to clearly project the first emergency team's every move on the environmental simulator in front of Ming Yang.

Although, to a certain extent, this combination projection is not as real as the immersive one.

However, due to its special all-round perspective, it can fully meet the needs of Ji Xiong, Ming Yang and others to observe most of the situations in this area.

Sun Xun, the captain of the first emergency team, is a senior agent of the same grade as Guang Shengyu, and he has no shortcomings except for his lack of strength.

This is an old bachelor who raised a few boys in his team as children.

Because it is not far from Ji Xiong and the others' cloud car, everyone has chatted for a sentence or two before arriving at the place, and it seems that he is a very reliable and honest person.

As for the lack of strength, he also said it with a smile, and he thought that he was still a little confident in his own strength.

It's just that compared to Ji Xiong and others, Sun Xun knows it in his heart and is more humble.

In the process of leading the team members into the incident area, Sun Xun behaved decently, no accidents occurred, and there were no special discoveries.

As the first emergency team gradually approached the blockade lighting equipment architecture point in Area 273, the image transmitted from the action recorder fluctuated slightly, and it seemed that there was a certain intensity of signal interference in the area, which made Mingyang, Ji Xiong and others can't help but be vigilant, and at the same time opened their mouths to remind:

"The first emergency response team reports that the command has noticed that there is weak signal interference in the area, do you need reinforcements?"

"No...... No, you don't. ”

There seemed to be a short signal delay in the area, and after Mingyang spoke, it took more than half a second for Sun Xun, the leader of the first emergency team, to give a simple reply in the communication channel.

Hearing Sun Xun's reply, Ming Yang frowned slightly.

This answer is too concise and lacks much of the content that should be fed back.

It's just that Ming Yang looked at the people of the first emergency team in the holographic projection who seemed to have something beyond the scope of the recorder's perspective, so he didn't rush to interject and say anything, but after reminding them to be careful, he fell silent and quietly watched the actions of the first emergency team in the projection.

However, the first emergency team did not take any action and did not make any report.

It wasn't until a few seconds after Ming Yang reminded Sun Xun to pay attention to safety that Sun Xun suddenly responded very strangely in the communication channel:

"Yes, I'll take good care of these animals......"

This voice sounds like Sun Xun's, but there is something indescribably special.

It was as if someone was pinching Sun Xun's throat and plucking his vocal cords to say this.

Without waiting for Ming Yang to react, the moment the sound fell, the lighting equipment in Area 273 that was originally flickering and dim suddenly went out, and even the combined projection in front of Ming Yang dissipated like foam.

This meant that more than fifty camera points were destroyed almost simultaneously.

And the moment the combined projection dissipated, there was a scene that was completely different from what they had seen before......

It was a great shadow standing in the middle of the forest.

Sun Xun, the leader of the first emergency team, exposed most of his upper body in the depths of this shadow, but the rest was missing.

It can be seen that there is a huge crack in Sun Xun's neck that spreads to his chin.

This is the only color in the shadows.

The bright red, tender white flesh twitched, as if the sound they heard came from here.

Bang!

Seeing this scene, Ming Yang's palm slapped heavily on the operating table of the cloud car.

In a fit of rage, he directly ignored the gaze of Ji Xiong and the others, and after calling his deputy to take over the entire operation, he did not hesitate to call the second emergency team to answer, and personally led the second emergency team to the 273 area located in the southeast of the forest.

Seeing Mingyang "running away", Ji Xiong would not let the other party leave his sight.

immediately called the cloud car that his team was already suspended nearby, jumped into it in mid-air, and chased after it without saying a word.

They were only two or three hundred meters away from Mingyang, who had set off one step earlier, and they could even clearly see the equipment and accessories on Mingyang's body.

However, more than ten seconds after Ming Yang and his party entered Area 273, that is, when Ji Xiong and the others entered Area 273, they could no longer see Ming Yang and the fighters of the Second Emergency Squad.

The entire SCP-273 area is shrouded in a dense black fog.

This fog seemed to be created out of thin air, and when Ji Xiong and the others looked into the forest outside Area 273, they did not notice the slightest interference or obscuration of their line of sight, and when they stepped into the forest, they were already deep in it.

Ji Xiong tried to use the external communication channel.

The only response was a turbulent swish, and there was nothing wrong with communication between teammates.

The so-called art masters are bold, and Ji Xiong did not retreat because of the strangeness of the fog, but led everyone to walk quickly towards the depths of the forest.

This is naturally related to the fact that the people of the Ancient Heavenly Court do not believe in these things like strange forces and chaotic gods.

After all, their ancestors were gods.

There may be awe of the unknown, but it is limited to awe, and there is absolutely no fear at all.

"Everyone, be careful, Mingyang's news seems to be right, this posture is really like a means of those things. ”

Confidence is self-confidence, Ji Xiong still mentioned a word to everyone before he walked towards the blocking lighting equipment architecture point.

The rest of the people nodded, having the experience of Ming Yang and the others disappearing, and did not dare to distance themselves from Himeo, always maintaining a distance between them and each other.

There was fog in the forest, but the sound of the wind was still there, as if the fog was formless and substantial, not at all blown by the wind.

Less than 100 meters ahead, Ji Xiong suddenly stopped.

I saw that he silently took out the strong lighting equipment from his hand and hit the woods on the side.

In the direction of the bright light, the fog was turned orange-black.

The trees are like demons with fangs and claws, growing wantonly, but everyone's eyes are attracted by the upright of thousands of twists.

It was the same dark shadow.

The difference is that it floats straight in mid-air, swaying in the wind and fog with a deep outline.

It seemed to be formed by the convergence of black mist, and it was like a pupil suspended vertically in the air, staring directly in the direction of Ji Xiong and the others.

Looking at this black shadow, Ji Xiong waved his hand to Guang Shengyu, signaling him to take the lead, and the rest of the people saw the opportunity to act.

It's not that Ji Xiong is afraid of death, but Guang Shengyu, who has the bloodline of Di Ting, is the most suitable one among the many clan children present, and that kind of extraordinary instinct can avoid many dangers and reduce unnecessary losses to a large extent.

Guang Shengyu had no objection to this, nodded and turned on his strong lighting equipment and walked towards the black shadow.

In order to avoid being too far away and inexplicably separated in this strange environment, when Guang Shengyu walked out of a distance, Ji Xiong led everyone to follow, keeping a proper distance from him that could not only provide timely support but also make other tactical reactions.

The black shadow was only about a hundred meters away from them.

It's not a long journey, and it's done quickly.

As they approached the black shadow, everyone slowly saw its specific form.

That's a person.

To be precise, a dead man suspended in mid-air.

Lifting it is the standard armament belt of the emergency response team.

The entire belt was torn into strips of cloth by something, one end was wrapped under the opponent's armpit, and the other end was hung on a branch six or seven meters above the ground.

A large amount of black mist had gathered around the corpse.

It was precisely because of the existence of these black mist that this corpse was cut open by a sharp weapon in the middle, revealing bright red flesh and pale skin, and it looked like an erect pupil from a distance.

Even though he had seen the general appearance of this black shadow, Ji Xiong still did not rashly lead the team forward, but walked fifteen or sixteen meters away and stopped, waiting for Guang Shengyu to check and eliminate the danger.

I saw Guang Shengyu cautiously walk to the corpse's side and aim the bright light at the wreckage surrounded by black mist.

The bright light showed that the black mist that shrouded the corpse was not still, but was tumbling and stirring around the top-down incision.

The nutrients in the corpse's blood seemed to have been drained from the flesh exposed by the incision by this strange black mist, taking on a viscous and gloomy color.

Emphatically swept the other party's face, and then Guang Shengyu's voice came from the communication channel:

"It's Zhang Jueqi, the girl from the second emergency team. ”

Hearing Guang Shengyu's words, a smiling face flashed in the minds of both Ji Xiong and the children of the other clans.

They are still quite familiar with this Zhang Jueqi, a bit like the female version of Hu Ye.

It's not particularly pretty, but it's lively and cute, and it's a pistachio in the second team, according to herself.

I never thought that they only entered the forest more than ten seconds later than Ming Yang and the others, and when they met again, the other party had already become like this.

Walking around Zhang Jueqi's corpse, Guang Shengyu, who didn't find any danger, beckoned to Ji Xiong and them, signaling that they could get closer.

Ji Xiong and the others stepped forward quickly, and after seeing Zhang Jueqi's bloodless face with their eyes closed, they all felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Don't look around, look around for any signs of a fight or something. The things made by these sacrificers are very weird, and they can not move as much as possible. ”

While reminding everyone, out of caution, Ji Xiong did not touch the black mist that surrounded Zhang Jueqi's body, but instead went to other places around to look for possible clues.

It's just that I don't know if it's moved by compassion, a middle-aged man with a family in the team looked at Zhang Jueqi's tragic situation, and silently stayed when Ji Xiong and others went around to look for clues.

Judging from his movements, it seemed that he was planning to strip Zhang Jueqi's body from the black mist and let her be buried in peace.

If you want to move it out of the black fog, you have to untie the other party from the hanging armed belt first.

Because the armed belt was very tightly entangled, it strangled Zhang Jueqi's arms and even his chest like a shoddy rag doll.

Therefore, without touching the black fog, only by picking off the frontal incision without the black fog can Zhang Jueqi's body slide down and get out of the black fog by gravity.

And just when this middle-aged man cut off the armed belt along the terrifying incision, grabbed the same broken clothes on Zhang Jueqi's body, and was about to pull it out......

The corpse that was originally tightly bound seemed to have been unsealed, and without a sound, Zhang Jueqi's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

This is a pair of "eyes" that have no whites and no pupils.

Inside, there was a black mist that seemed to be solid, or black muscles.

The moment he opened his eyes, the black mist around Zhang Jueqi's body suddenly stopped, and then it rushed towards the incision exposed to the air like a landslide and tsunami.

The first to bear the brunt was this middle-aged clan child.

The frantically surging black mist submerged the middle-aged man almost instantly, and then covered his whole body.

These black mist don't seem to be able to easily penetrate the armor protection unique to the children of the ancient clan.

Therefore, in the process of convergence, it gradually condenses into a black flowing shell.

All this happened in a very short period of time, and in the blink of an eye, the entire body of the middle-aged man had turned into a mass of thick ink in the form of a human.

The first to notice the strange noise and exclaim was a clan child who had not gone far.

And when Ji Xiong and Guang Shengyu, the other clans who were searching for clues in the surrounding area, turned to look at this side, a disgusting scene happened.

Zhang Jueqi's corpse seemed to be desperate for this black mist.

So even if there was such a foreign object as a middle-aged man in it, she couldn't wait for a moment.

I saw her let out a sharp roar from her already severed and broken trachea.

In the next second, Zhang Jueqi, who had not yet landed, tore open the incision in the middle of his body and swallowed the middle-aged clan disciple whole!

Zhang Jueqi's figure is undoubtedly relatively petite, and although the middle-aged clan disciple is not as good as the Xiong clan, he can also talk about being tall.

Therefore, the scene of Zhang Jueqi devouring the middle-aged man is as visually impactful as a snake swallowing an elephant, as if a person teared open his chest and flesh to stuff a gradually twisted ink-colored figurine into it.

And just after those black mist and the middle-aged people were stretched into Zhang Jueqi's petite body to form an expanding deformity, the black mist that entered Zhang Jueqi's body seemed to have some kind of qualitative change, and suddenly began to expand and twist sharply, rapidly forming a monster that looked like a man and a frog.

It can be seen that the original form of this monster should be something similar to the twisted dryad in Western mythology and legend.

It's just that because it engulfed the middle-aged clan children, most of the black tendons that spread out of the incision covered the chest and abdomen, forming such a shape similar to that of a giant frog.

However, the weight of the extra person and the twisted shape of the body did not affect the attack power it should have.

The moment "Zhang Jueqi" landed, he pounced like a real giant frog and was the first clan disciple who sensed that the situation was bad and wanted to rush forward to rescue.

In an instant, countless hideous black tendons spread out from the incision under his body, covering Zhang Jueqi's whole body.

I saw that the clan disciple who was the prey instinctively held up a shield, but it was covered and dissolved by the overflowing and waving tendons like paper.

Seeing this scene, a look of despair already appeared on his face.

In the next second, a bright light burst out in the forest.

At the moment when the two were about to meet, those scattered black tendons evaporated in front of the clan disciple like summer snow.

This is the power of the eye of the bull, and it is also the light of neutron dissociation.
