(a)

I wandered through the storefronts, struggling with what to eat for lunch today.

The pizza is as good as the pizza, the rich cheese pulls out the long shreds, but the burger is more tempting, the taste of the pickled cucumber whets my appetite, and the ice cream is served at the end of the meal.

When I was about to walk into the burger restaurant by the young and beautiful lady standing at the door, my cell phone rang.

There was only one person who could call unscrupulously at this time - my fiancée, Scarlett.

"Hello, this is John Scott, a nobody, little-known low-level reporter, and I guess it's Dear Miss Scarlett Perez who is calling. ”

"Don't call me that," the fiancée on the other end of the line, apparently accustomed to my self-deprecating description, could respond to a thing or two, "after all, I'll soon be Ms. Scarlett Scott." ”

"You're right, and it's as beautiful as an oath of loyalty. I smiled and waved goodbye to the young clerk standing in front of the store, after all, a call from my fiancée meant that my job was coming, and for those who worked, it was a luxury to have a sandwich in their briefcase.

"So...... What are you doing, nobody, little-known low-level journalist Mr. John Scott?" Look, she can retell my self-deprecation as it is.

"I was going to have lunch, but unfortunately you called, so I'm on my way to the office. ”

"Then you're on the right track," my fiancée, Scarlett Perez, always brings me good news, "because I've finished that painless interview and am sitting in my boss's office." ”

"Shall we go and get some rest?"

"I'm afraid not," although my fiancée's voice was pleasant, I still heard the boss's voice calling me as rough as the east wind overwhelmed the west wind on the other end of the phone, "The boss is looking for you everywhere, and the Scotts seem to be on a business trip." ”

My name is John Scott, and I'm a journalist working for the International Times Crisis Today. If you like to watch TV, then you often see me in war reports. My fiancée, Scarlett Perez, my colleague, my partner.

Although there are some dangers, my fiancée and I still enjoy the exciting and nervous work that allows us to reveal the unknown truth to the world. We don't plan to have children, so please don't think we're irresponsible parents who are playing with our lives, after all, the world needs some people to volunteer for high-risk industries, right?

"Well," I scratched my head, inevitably feeling a little tired by noon, "and looks like I'm going to pick up my pace." ”

Fortunately, my location is not far from the company, otherwise I would have been chattered by the boss for half a day when I rushed back. Although the boss is old, his temper is still very hot. I don't know what kind of tasks he will give me this time, but if I think about it, it is nothing more than some battlefield interviews and crime scene interviews.

However, it is worth noting that "supernatural events" seem to have become more and more in recent times. In particular, the events that focused on Rome – the sudden explosion of alleys that went viral on Twitter, the purple smoke that rose at night, the traces of terrorist attacks that ran through the city – I really don't know what happened to the city. Many magazines have also expressed their views on these incidents, including the cult hypothesis, the inference that terrorist organizations have mastered high technology, and even more believe that this is a precursor to the destruction of the world.

Of course, it is naturally the superhuman special forces that dominate. After all, the Transhuman Foundation, the largest organization that now guarantees international stability and security, is the best proof of their existence. Since there are super humans who walk on the stage and are exposed in front of everyone, then the special forces who are raised in the shadows and waiting for opportunities have even more reason to exist.

When I walked into my boss's office, my boss was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the scenery and talking about the recent series of horrors, while my fiancée was sitting on the couch studying her Rubik's Cube, completely unobtrusive at his tirade. On the other couch sat a middle-aged man, unsmiling, annoying.

"Oh Scott, you're finally here," the boss saw me and walked over with relief, his usual trick of presenting his "loving image" in front of people, "Come on Benjamin, let me introduce you to my good employee, the pillar of the company, Scott!, oh, and of course his fiancée Perez." ”

The middle-aged man stood up and shook my hand. Oh my God, he looked at least 1.9 meters tall, so much so that there was a strange sense of oppression standing in front of me.

"Listen to Scott, this is an opportunity I've earned so hard, and you'll have to take advantage of it—of course, you will. As he spoke, the boss sat down.

Although everyone knows it, I can't help but emphasize: "Uh, sir, as long as you don't delay my wedding next week, I won't let you down." ”

Scarlett, who was sitting across from her, shrugged.

"Oh, that's for sure, I can't delay such a big thing," the boss nodded, "I promise, you'll be back the day after tomorrow." You have a whole week to write stories, take a break, and then have your wedding. ”

Sounds good.

"Now, I'm going to tell you about this mission," said the boss, patting the middle-aged man on the shoulder, "Benjamin is my college classmate, and now he's in charge of the staffing at the Transhuman Foundation. ”

The Transhuman Foundation is this institution again.

Without letting the boss continue to brag, Benjamin was the first to speak: "Recently, the Transhuman Foundation received a strange mission. On the outskirts of Iceland, unspeakable creatures are found. ”

"Uh...... Unspeakable creatures?" I frowned, not knowing what to say, "Are you sure it's not a bear or a wild pig or a ......" After all, the "water monsters" and "wild men" in many reports turned out to be just wild animals, because people haven't seen much of it, so they will be mistaken for supernatural creatures.

"It's understandable that you think so, and at first we thought it was just an ordinary incident of wildlife injuries – until we got a call for help from Iceland itself. Benjamin said, unveiling a few photos.

I took the photos suspiciously, and I gasped.

If one second I was convinced that it was a false alarm, this second I have to question myself: what kind of creature can overturn a police car, bite through the doors of an armored car, and tear heavily armed guards in half!

"I can ......" I looked at Benjamin, the instinct of my profession urging me to hurry up and take pictures, but I had to ask Benjamin's permission. Unfortunately, he shook his head and reached out to ask for the photo back.

"I was asked by Miller, your boss, to give you the task of documenting this incident. Of course, given the dangerous nature of the mission, you can choose not to accept this work. Benjamin looked at me without smiling, his eyebrow bones were surprisingly high, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were shining with a sharp light.

Scarlett and I looked at each other and smiled - how could we give up such a good opportunity.

"We're taking the commission for this job," I said, looking at Boss Miller and then at Mr. Benjamin, "when are we leaving?"

"Tonight. ”

I caught a glimpse of the boss's expression at this time, which can be described as a happy smile.

......

"Unspeakable creatures" sounds really exciting. "Today's Crisis" reports mostly war news, but it doesn't even touch the edge of weird stories and legends - it also has something to do with the business strategy of Boss Miller, who likes to broadcast about local wars, which he says is a crisis. But I'm actually more interested in these bizarre things. This time, if it weren't for the Transhuman Foundation's international political influence, my boss wouldn't have let me participate in this kind of mission. Half a month ago, there was a strange story about the "Slandas" in Russia, and it is unbelievable that the protagonist of this kind of American urban strange talk should appear in Asia. Although I persuaded them to persist for a week, the company's team went to the forest to find nothing. This time, not only is there conclusive evidence, but also the protection of the Transhuman Foundation, and the conditions are simply unique.

Standing at the door of the hall, I tidied up my clothes. Next, we will first interview the members of the Transhuman Foundation who participated in this mission.

At this moment, Scarlett, who was standing next to me in a formal suit, walked up with a worried look on her face.

"John ......"

"What's wrong?" I thought it was a little strange that Scarlett was usually more excited than I was about such an exciting mission, but this time she was already worried about the Transhuman Foundation, which made me very puzzled.

"It's nothing......" Scarlett looked to the side, she was dodging my gaze, "Is it too late for us to quit?"

I heard you right!

"What are you talking about!" I couldn't help laughing, "This is a rare opportunity, we have the opportunity to get in touch with the members of the Transhuman Foundation at zero distance, and we can also explore unknown magical mysteries, aren't you not impressed at all!"

Scarlett shook her head thoughtfully, and from her eyes, I saw a frightened cat.

"With the heroes of the Transhuman Foundation protecting us, the risk of this mission can be considered zero. Besides, with me with you," I thought it necessary to strengthen her courage—with our marriage—and I held up her hand with the engagement ring, "You see, you're my fiancée, and I'll protect you." ”

Hearing this, she seemed to be relieved a little, and nodded slightly.

With the camera and radio ready, I pushed the door open and walked into the hall.

Standing in the spacious hall was a group of uniformed men, who seemed to be the protagonists of the mission. They stood in twos and threes, not knowing what they were talking about. Getting up close and personal with these heroes makes me feel excited.

In the middle of the crowd stood Mr. Benjamin, whom he had seen in his boss's office this morning, his expression still stiff and unsmiling, alienating and annoying.

Seeing me, Benjamin shouted at the heroes standing there: "Guys, here are our reporters. ”

Hearing Benjamin's call, those in uniform looked at me. In an instant, my heart was beating wildly, and I felt my face burn and my fingertips tingle. Was it the tension I had when I first participated in the interview, because I had never been in contact with these people – I had never been afraid of the battlefield and witnessed all kinds of atrocities, and I had never been afraid to reveal the truth and call myself a savior. But now, I've seen it, I've seen the people who are really saving the world, and maybe that's the real reason why I'm so excited and nervous.

But this will not accomplish my task, and I need to tell myself that they are just a little more gifted than I am, and that our lives are equally heavy and valuable before God.

With that in mind, I took a deep breath and turned to look at Scarlett. My poor fiancée, as if she hadn't gotten out of her inexplicable worries, would have left me alone to meet these heroes.

I turned my face to the camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Today's Crisis, and I'm journalist John Scott. Before we have the privilege of being part of the Transhuman Foundation's mission to Iceland, let's first interview with Mr. Benjamin Custer, the organizer of this mission—sir, and say hello to all of you. ”

Benjamin nodded at the camera.

"You are in charge of the deployment of this mission, so what do you think about the personnel setup?"

Benjamin looked at me and then at the camera, and it could be seen that although he was cold and stiff, he was still extremely capable of dealing with the media: "In view of the high level of uncertainty of this mission, after careful discussion by the committee, we have selected the strongest members of the Transhuman Foundation, including the 'World Heroes'. In addition, out of consideration for the nature of the mission, the committee has also selected a number of Foundation members with high low temperature adaptability and suitable for field operations, and there will be no mistakes in this mission. ”

Generally understood. I nodded, "Okay, thank you." Let's interview some of the heroes who participated in this operation. ”

The camera turned to the crowd, and it was only then that I was able to observe their uniforms in detail: they didn't look like leather goods, maybe some kind of technological product, giving people a rough but strong visual sense of weaving, uniform black, deep and easy to walk at night, thin and few silver stripes, making the uniforms look deep but not bulky, and also set off the figure of the female team members well, a very pleasing design.

"Hey, sir, look at the camera. "I saw a young man standing at the edge of the crowd, his face was a little cold, but not as stiff and dull as Benjamin. Judging by his appearance, he should be from a certain country in Asia, silent, modest, and gentle, giving people a feeling of being close.

Hearing my voice, he looked to the camera.

"Can you tell us about your ...... Code name, if that's what you call it. "To be honest, this is my first interview with a superhero.

The young man blinked: "'Longbow'." ”

"Can you show us your special abilities?"

He shook his head: "Non-mission status, I can't show my abilities at will, I'm sorry." ”

It's a pity, but I thanked you and said, "It's okay, we're looking forward to your performance." ”

After sporadic interviews with a few heroes, I felt it was time to call for the main character: "Then next, we will interview the ......, who is known as the strongest hero of the superhuman race, who has served as a team leader in several missions and successfully completed all tasks, with a zero failure rate."

As I was facing the camera, I only felt a gust of wind behind me, as if something had descended from the sky and landed beside me at a very fast speed.

"Is anyone calling me?" Before the man's name could be spoken, a deep, loud voice rang out behind me.

The camera lens was raised, and I looked back - behind me, the shadow cast by the tower-like figure completely obscured me. The man behind him, who was two meters three tall, with a wide and muscular body and swollen and tight muscles that seemed to break through his uniform, seemed to me to be beyond the limits of human beings.

"Oh yes!" I couldn't afford to waste this opportunity to meet such an enthusiastic interviewee, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's turn our camera to the protagonist of this mission, The-World-Hero!"

With my cheers, many heroes swarmed around the tall, mighty, confident man and me, the poor journalist, as if they were followers of God.

"Thank you, Mr. Reporter, it's a pleasure to let you witness our mission, it's an honor for the Transhuman Foundation and a great opportunity for us to prove that we can afford to be heroes. "I could see that this middle-aged man had a fiery enthusiasm and a very cheerful personality, which reassured me a lot—it seemed that the hero was not completely weird and unapproachable.

"Is there anything else you would like to convey to our audience through Today's Crisis?"

"Hahahaha!" he burst into a hearty laugh as if he had won completely, "If there's anything else to say, it's a great weekend to you all!"

(b)

"So, every mission is boring and boring because it's so easy. "Sitting on the plane flying to Iceland, the captain of the team, Mr. "World Hero", was talking to me, and before leaving the camera, we both relaxed a little more than before. And Scarlett is obviously more comfortable than just now - at the moment, she is chatting happily with the other female heroes on the plane.

"It is estimated that the enemy will already admit defeat when he sees your figure and momentum. I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, and honestly, I felt like I was talking to a brown bear. The real names of the "World Heroes" are unknown, and very few transhumans are willing to reveal their real names to the public, which will affect their normal lives. What I know about him comes from all kinds of news reports - falling from the sky to remove hidden dangers that threaten the safety of the world, whether it is a burning nuclear power plant or a local war, in the monstrous waves, in the tumbling magma - wherever there is a threat, he is there.

Hearing my compliment, he shook his head: "Not really, a long time ago—when I was very young, I was once defeated by a man and almost lost my life. At that time, I was not a member of the Transhuman Foundation, but just a muddy person. ”

I became intrigued by what he was saying.

"Would you like to elaborate on that?"

"Absolutely. ”

As he spoke, the "World Hero" sat up slightly: "When I was twenty-five years old, maybe twenty-six, I was still a short-tempered person who liked to use force to solve problems. I discovered that there was some unknown mysterious force in my body—the blow of a club could not cause pain, the blade could not cut my skin, not even a bullet could hurt me. To my surprise, I learned how to hide it and use a little bit from time to time, which made my life easier. ”

Oh, his so-called convenience is probably to make money by playing black boxing underground, or it may be to serve the gangsters.

"One night, I got drunk and staggered out of the bar. Then, the person walking by hit me. Just a gentle stroke, but it made me feel annoyed. ”

He smiled, as if to laugh at the recklessness and sloppiness of his youth.

I reached out and pressed the man's shoulder. How skinny, I feel like I can crush him with a slight grip. ”

"But that person didn't feel afraid, on the contrary, I felt his aura slowly growing stronger as the temperature rose around him. I felt a sense of fear in my heart for no reason, and in a panic, I threw him into the alley - haha, yes, I threw him in, grabbed his shoulder, and threw him into the alley like a ball. ”

Listening to his description, I felt as if I had seen the man fall half to death.

"Although I threw him high, he quickly rose in the air and stepped on the ground very steadily. I don't know if it's because of the lighting or if it's my memory, his hood drops, revealing blonde hair. It's not a European or American face, but it has that bright golden hair color, and it doesn't look like a lifeless color that is bleached. ”

Mr. "World Hero" described the appearance of the boy in detail, and his vocabulary was very rich, and I heard that he was not only superior in martial arts, but also a doctor of astronomy. If he writes a book, he will be a good writer.

"I've never seen such a scorching power—though I've seen the heat of the flames before, but the feeble burning is beyond the reach of my strong flesh—the young man's flames have the power of hell. In less than ten seconds, I was crushed to the ground, helpless. ”

At this point, he clasped his hands together: "That was the first time I tasted failure." I looked at the man's back and fainted, and when I woke up, I found myself in the hospital, and the young man was gone. ”

As he spoke, he pulled down his neckline, revealing the scars from the burns that covered the left shoulder and the side of his neck. Oh my God, I looked at the middle-aged man next to me in amazement, such a tall and strong, what kind of teenager could defeat him with flames, and even make him faint!

"Isn't it scary?" he looked at me, his face unexpectedly calm, "this scar has made me think about myself anew, I shouldn't just live like that." After that, I started to change myself until I became the person I am today. I love children – I have two lovely daughters and a son – and I should contribute to my family, to more children and families, that is the bright future. I feel that this is a mission that God has given me. ”

His words made me respectful.

"Did you ever meet the boy again?"

He shook his head: "That man is like a messenger sent by God, and he has disappeared from this world ever since. I think it's a pity that with that kind of power, it is not known to the world. If he joins the Transhuman Foundation, I'm even willing to give up the captaincy. ”

"Maybe he's serving some organization in the shadows," I comforted the "World Hero," "like 'Sanctions', the mercenary group under the Wuming Company." ”

He nodded, but from his expression I could sense that he didn't seem to want to accept the possibility: "You have a point, I just hope he doesn't have blood and life on his hands." ”

As he said this, the fighter trembled slightly. The young hero, who called himself "Longbow", came over: "Captain, here we are. ”

The "World Hero" nodded: "Tell everyone, get ready." ”

The atmosphere began to get tense.

"John!" Scarlett shouted at me.

"What's the matter?"

I saw her putting on her coat: "We need to follow up on the shoot, get ready." It seems that the temporary tension does not hide her nature of seeking excitement and exploring the unknown.

Although the sun has not yet set on the equator, it is now dark in the Icelandic countryside. The cold wind blew, and I still couldn't help but shiver in my coat, which made me even more curious about the material of the Transhuman Foundation's uniforms - despite standing in the cold wind, none of the team members shrank by half a point.

"Hey, John," Scarlett, standing at the back of the line, leaned lightly on my shoulder, "do you see the female player?"

I looked in the direction she was pointing, and it was a young lady who looked about Scarlett's age. She was very tall and had clear eyebrows, and although the night was dark, I could feel the light from her pale eyes. Compared to Scarlett's slender build, the female player had more muscle mass and seemed to have a tighter feel - perhaps due to too much melee combat.

"What's wrong?" I don't understand, is Scarlett just there to express her envy?

"She's Russian," Scarlett whispered, "and like us, she's getting married next week!"

Heroes can naturally get married, but the Transhuman Foundation officials never reveal the hero's private life to the public. Presumably, it is also for their own safety and that of their families.

"Oh, that's a nice thing to do," I whispered to Scarlett, "did she tell you more?"

"Of course," Scarlett winked playfully, "but that's not something to be included in the report, I'll tell you when we take a break." ”

While we were discussing in a whisper, Todd, my old partner who had worked with me for many years, walked over: "John, it's time for us to go," he said, pointing back, and there were more than a dozen off-road vehicles on the clearing, "It looks like we have to get to our destination, and we need to sit for a while." ”

In the darkness of the night, the buggy was speeding down the road, and my heart began to beat violently again, as if some monster was lurking inside me, twitching wildly with its twisted and bloated body and beating my heart while clutching my throat with fear. To alleviate this unsettling feeling, I cast my gaze on the night speeding backwards. At this moment, all the vehicles are speeding ahead of us, and we are closely following the heroes. This wasn't my first time in Iceland, and when I looked around, there was yellow turf in the light, animals running after cars in the darkness, and long glows of reflective irises dragging over them.

"There are 34 people on this mission," Scarlett said, flipping through the list of members that Mr. Benjamin had gotten under his permission, and that's all we got, "I'm sure we'll be able to write a good report this time." ”

"Maybe I should start by writing a good wedding address. "I jokingly joked about Scarlett.

As the car drove south, something black appeared in my sight, getting closer and closer.

It's the forest.

"Well, what's going on?" said Todd's words, revealing a hint of incomprehensible doubt.

"What?" I looked at him with Scarlett.

"I ...... I'm not sure," Todd said, holding up the camera, looking through night vision at the dark forest ahead, "is there really a forest here?"

So I looked again at the forest that was getting closer and closer. In the darkness, under the headlights, in the unilluminated darkness of the forest, there is a terrifying gloom waiting to swallow us as we approach.

The car stopped.

I saw the hero of the world get out of the car. A few heroes who seemed to be of high status also got out of the car, standing at the edge of the forest, discussing something. Unfortunately, it was too far away for me to hear clearly.

"What are they talking about?" asked Scarlett, leaning over me.

I shook my head, God knows. It's so dark all around, and it's a cold suburb, except for a little starlight in the sky, only the lights of the field vehicles can broaden our horizons. It's not easy for me to be able to see them coming together and their mouths moving in this state.

"Honestly," Todd adjusted the machine in his hand, perhaps the night vision device would reassure him a little, "I don't think it's a good job. ”

"Come on," Scarlett said every time, looking back at Todd. ”

"No!" Todd frowned, emphatically "this time it's true! Think about it, if there really are beasts here, those heroes will be counted, they will naturally be able to handle it, what should we do?

Todd was always good at finding pessimistic points in the positive, as if that would allow him to plan ahead. But sometimes I feel like he can really get to the point. What he said worries me.

As Scarlett tried to continue arguing with him, my body shuddered, as if something had stimulated the little sense of crisis and fear that I still had as a primate deep in my genes. And just before the damned erector muscle had eased down, in the midst of the three of us, something black "swished" before our eyes, and even the heavy sound of it falling on the board seemed to be a little later than the figure.

At that moment, I seemed to have seen the whole thing - in the darkness, its claws were bending slightly, the claws of the soldier's scalp and the crumbs of the car were left between the fangs, and the eyes, the eyes of the thing, were completely missing—it must have been degraded to adapt to the lightless forest, but its size was indeed greater than that of humans! This thing must have peeked at us in the forest, quietly bypassed the heroes while they were discussing strategy, and then picked the easiest of us! Those heroes will be unaware of our death, and we, before we even have a chance to call for help, will become the next batch of minced flesh and bone residue stuck in the molars of these beasts!

Of course, all these shouts, all the judgments, were in my mind the moment the thing fell. That thing didn't attack us, because it wasn't a beast at all, it was a person. A beast-like man, to be exact—oh my god, the woman from Russia who spoke to Scarlett. She quickly landed in the midst of us, and I mistook it for a terrible monster, and since I had no weapon in my hand, I would have been imprisoned for manslaughter.

"Captain asked me to inform you that the mission is in front of you," crouched and looked around at the three of us, the heroine stood up, her eyes like feline eyes, her pupils narrow and straight, reflecting light in the dark, "you can get ready and get out of the car, I will be in charge of your safety with a few others." ”

"Oh," I nodded, my body sweating profusely from the fright, and my whole body itched like an electric shock, "Oh, that's great." "I think the captain in her mouth should be a world hero.

She nodded to me, rolled over and jumped out of the car. I doubt the use of sending a "Catwoman" on such a dangerous mission.

"Oh my God," Todd slumped, nearly dropping the camera on the ground, "that woman scared us to death. ”

I looked at Scarlett, and then at Todd. It was only then that I realized that this mission had strained our nerves. Compared to being on the battlefield or at a crime scene, this work is something we have never been exposed to before.

Soon, the 34 heroes on the list were assembled, 4 members were responsible for support and liaison outside the forest, and the remaining 30 people were divided into three teams to search the woods. Thankfully, we've been placed on one of the World Heroes' squad, and that's probably what the Foundation is all about—it's a shame to be a follow-up reporter who is involved in a dangerous operation to bring the positive meaning of the Superhuman Foundation to the world. And let journalists follow the heroes of the world, and there will be absolutely no accidents.

Of course, it is impossible for world heroes to always revolve around reporters as the main force. So at the moment we are surrounded by heroes, including the Russian heroine, in the middle of the line.

"Mr. Scott," one of the heroes following me whispered to me, "how are you feeling?"

"Huh?" I looked at him, the only thing I could make out in the darkness was his beard, could Santa Claus be a hero?

"Honestly, this is the first time we've done this kind of work," Todd leaned the camera over his shoulder to prevent it from slipping down, "uh...... I mean, work with the heroes. ”

At this moment, another hero also spoke: "I really don't understand, this mission is so dangerous, why should reporters be involved, could it be that Benjamin took the wrong medicine?"

"Maybe it's to give the public a better understanding of your work, which can increase your approval ratings. I turned my head in the direction of the voice, but I wasn't sure who said it, and the uniform attire of the heroes made it impossible for me to distinguish between them.

"Scott is right," said the world hero at the head of the line, "maybe that's what Benjamin thinks—don't talk about the useless—Susanna, is there any movement?"

Hearing this, Catwoman shook her head: "I didn't see anything." She has a strong Russian accent in her English, perhaps learned to communicate with her "colleagues" normally.

As she spoke, she turned to the other person and asked, "What about you, do you see anything?"

I felt a moment of cringe and fear, and then the voice of a woman who sounded more weak and helpless said, "I don't know...... I, I didn't feel anything, so dark. After a pause, the voice continued, "But the forest is unexpectedly quiet...... It's not normal, Mr. World Hero, I feel scared, it's so weird here. ”

I've been scared like that, is this a hero? I think even though she didn't say a word, Scarlett was much braver than she was.

I frowned in confusion.

"Look, 'Little Deer' is scared again," the bearded man shook his head, "oh my God, this is terrible, that is terrible, oh!" he pinched his throat to learn the girl's voice, not sure whether it was to ease her tension or to laugh at her.

"If you talk any more nonsense, I'll gouge out your eyeballs. Catwoman said viciously.

"I'm rooting for Suzanne this time," Mr. World said, looking back, "You should know, Maxim, that the 'fawn' can be sensitive to danger and can help us even more. So I won't allow you to tease her. ”

"Oh," the bearded Maxim said, turning back to the other side, "I'm sorry, but you know I didn't mean it out of malice. ”

"It's all right," and then another voice appeared, oh my God, are all the people in this group so talkative? But this time I heard the owner of the voice, "If there's danger, I'll protect you." ”

The man I interviewed for the first time, the man named "Chan-gong", and the world hero told me that the code name means "long bow" in Chinese, no wonder I felt that he was not humble and elegant and easy-going when I first met, and I think many Chinese writers and politicians I came into contact with also had this temperament. Maybe the owner of the cowering female voice is also Chinese.

Although this sentence is not very loud, Scarlett and I have a different taste, and probably only those who are going to get married can hear the fun.

But at the same time, I can feel that the interior of this team, although not very discordant under the coordination of the heroes of the world, is also full of complexity and conflict, like the peoples and races that make it up. It's hard for me to imagine anyone with the ability and the funds to bring together such a "chosen one."

(c)

Truth be told, searching for demons in the dark forest is not a pleasant thing to do. Considering that the light would alarm the unknown creatures, the entire team marched in the dark. We were caught in the middle of the line, Todd kept the camera apprehensively focusing on the darkness around him and Scarlett's face, and I tried not to disturb the heroes while talking. In the meantime, some of the animals of the forest suddenly jumped out, but they were all very timid and quickly fled.

"Squads, what's going on. The World Hero said into the communicator.

"It's the second team here, there's nothing. ”

"It's the third team here, we're ...... Hey wait, oh roar, the remains of armored cars and police cars were found, here are ...... Some of the corpses, a lot of blood, looked like they had been bitten. ”

"Captain," a voice came from the support survey team stationed outside the forest, "you are now in the middle of the forest, the second team has reached the edge of the forest, and it seems that the place of the battle not long ago should be in the eastern part of the forest. ”

"Third squad, stay vigilant. "World heroes seem to be thinking about the situation.

"Shall we not go over?" asked the man standing beside him.

The man from the third team reported on the situation over there: "World hero, we haven't noticed anything abnormal, since there are no anomaly reports around, maybe those creatures will flee to the middle of the forest after the battle...... Hey!Get out of the way!!"

At the same time, the communication was abruptly disconnected, and then a violent fire erupted on our left, to the east of the forest.

"Second squad, it looks like we're going to have to hurry. The World Hero looked at the firelight over there and said to the Liaison Instrument.

Immediately afterward, the "deer girl" also let out a hurried shout: "Captain, they!"

This sentence immediately put the entire team into a state of vigilance.

"Do you feel them?" the world hero looked around, unable to feel anything in the darkness, but the firelight and broken contact added to the tension.

"Yes, yes sir," the woman's personality matched her code name very well, and at the moment she did look like a frightened deer, "I can feel that there are a lot of them, right around!"

"She's right," Catwoman echoed, "they're all over the place." ”

"Light!"

With the command of the world hero, a huge ball of light rose from the hand of a hero, and instantly illuminated everything around it.

In the light, I finally saw the companions in the darkness—the bearded Maxim, with his red nose and cloudy eyes, who did not look young, but not so far from what I had imagined, and the woman standing beside the longbow, who was really surprised to me, was not tall, but surprisingly beautiful, and indeed had a pair of pointed deer ears that quivered up and down. I don't think she's a hero and more like a cute doll for a home.

To be honest, I wished there was no light, at least in the darkness I didn't know what real fear looked like, and now, with Todd's camera focused on everything around me, I was stunned by Scarlett's screams.

Glancing at my companions, my gaze caught a glimpse of something else, the reason Scarlett was screaming, and the reason I was sluggish. Because what I saw next was completely beyond my comprehension, and even the nightmare of being covered with slugs and snails in my childhood was less than a tenth of what I saw in front of me.

Those things — Benjamin wasn't right, "unspeakable creatures" at least made me think they had the characteristics of creatures, but I didn't know what they were. Because creatures that act as a group should at least have similar characteristics, but what appears before our eyes is of all shapes, sizes, and pitch black. They were crawling darkness, creeping curses, none of which I could describe, because they had no biological features or even a specific shape. But when the senseless, expressionless, and headless things all came towards us, I felt my heart pounding, and if it weren't for my clenched teeth, I didn't even know if I would have screamed like Scarlett. They were all over the forest, encircling us, and I could even hear sharp sounds coming out of their cavities.

"Oh...... Oh my gosh, what is that," I heard Todd's trembling voice, and he must have been more terrified because he was watching the camera more carefully, "they're in...... What are you eating? Maybe...... It's a human head!"

"Second squad, you go to support the third squad, we're in trouble here. The voice of the world hero was heavy but not a trace of panic, and he looked around at the black figures looming in the forest, although they surrounded us, they did not rush to pounce, but this made my heart tug even more.

"Maxim, protect journalists. Others, free to attack. While commanding, the hero of the world took the lead and stepped out.

As if sensing the terrifying spirit of the heroes of the world, black monsters—all I can call them—surged toward us. All the heroes were ready for battle, even the deer girl was ready to fight.

"Come, get closer to me, Mr. Scott. Walking towards us without hurry, the bearded Maxim opened his arms, and then, the bits and pieces slowly rose from the ground, and with him, the four of us were surrounded in a large transparent sphere.

"Rest assured, it's safe and it's hard to break from the outside. Maxim said, patting his chest proudly.

But that didn't ease our nerves in the slightest, and although we were still shooting, I could tell that Todd had lost the strength to hold the camera at all, and the camera must have been shaky, and I thought he was just a snap of his fingers from collapsing.

Although I was still in a haunt, I still thought that work was important: "Scarlett!"

I shook the sluggish Scarlett: "Scarlett, now is not the time to be in a daze! Hurry up!" I said, snatching the camera from Todd's hand, even though I am a journalist, I can also use this thing skillfully, and at this moment, I pointed the camera at her.

As I wished, although I was frightened, after so many years of work, the professionalism of Scarlett awakened Scarlett, she gasped heavily, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and finally turned her eyes on the camera.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Crisis of the Day, and now we are deep in the forests of Iceland. Just three minutes ago, our team was attacked by strange species, and now, the heroes of the Transhuman Foundation are working hard to deal with these monsters!"

With that, she turned sideways, allowing my camera to capture beyond the sphere. The footage was a little white because the illuminated orbs of light interfered with the lens, but I still filmed them fighting. The catwoman was jumping among the monsters, slicing their bodies with her blade, and the longbow (he really had a glittering bow in his hand at the moment, I don't know where he drew it from) was shooting at the monsters all the time, and even the deer girl was by his side, nimbly dodging the monsters' attacks and kicking the monsters that tried to get close to them.

The only thing that doesn't appear in the footage is the world hero - he's too fast. He was too fast for the camera to capture, except to see him blowing past the monsters like a gust of wind, and the black clumps burst like balloons filled with water.

But even with such reliable heroes as World Heroes in the battle, the situation is still not optimistic - those black monsters have not diminished, scrambling to rush to this side. And we only have ten heroes, not to mention Maxim, who can protect others, is not allowed to go to war because he wants to protect us "waste". If it is consumed for a long time, the situation will inevitably deteriorate.

In the melee of the "Longbow ——!", the world hero stopped moving quickly, "Can't you let go of arrows!"

"You'll hurt your own people by mistake!" replied Longbow as he dealt with the approaching monsters. It was the only conversation I could hear in the chaos.

At this moment, from the body of one of the monsters that had been blown up, a head rolled at my feet. It was an undigested skull, revealing Sensen's skull on one side and still looking terrified on the other, and my eyeballs were dripping out of my sockets like, which made me feel sick.

Do these monsters have the same digestive system as living creatures?

"Oh my God, we're going to die! we're going to die!" Todd clutched his head, already cowering to the side, at a loss.

"Stop talking nonsense, we're not going to die. Maxim slapped Todd on the shoulder, and though his tone was firm, I could see a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Oh no!" Suddenly, Scarlett grabbed my arm, and I could feel her really suckling. My arm hurt from scratching, but I followed the direction she was pointing to see the last thing I wanted—one of the ten heroes was surrounded by monsters as he fell on his back, while the other heroes were too busy to help him. In the midst of the chaos, Scarlett and I watched as he was being torn apart by the monsters that swarmed him. It was evident that the monsters couldn't seem to bite him apart because of the solid armor that the Superman Foundation was equipped with—oh my God! What organs were they biting! What were they swallowing heads—— but Scarlett and I saw a nightmare: the monsters stretched out tentacles and pulled him up.

"Oh my God, you've got to help him!" I shouted at Maxim behind him, looking at the hero's frown as he was pulled into the air, but for some reason he didn't respond to me.

"Hey, Maxim, we...... I turned around to let Maxim hear me, but when I turned around, I found that there were already two or three black monsters surrounding Maxim, and at this moment they and Maxim were only separated by this curtain of light. I couldn't help but cry out in fright when I saw these strange things up close, and I probably understood why Todd was so scared - these things, when they approached us, did show their mouths, which were wide, cracked all the way to the back of the neck, the corners of the mouth turned upwards to form a strange smile, the fine teeth were exposed, and the blood and flesh were flowing from their mouths, it was disgusting!

"What the hell is this...... I'm sorry Mr. Scott!" Maxim also seemed a little reluctant at this time, "I don't think it's easy to just stop them!"

So, in a burst of shrill laughter and screams, I watched as the hero's head and legs were torn off. Broken limbs and stubble revealing pale leg bones, the headless body fell to the ground, but still convulsed. The hero's complexion slowly turned from metal to flesh, and blood flowed out. The monster couldn't wait for the metalization on its head to disappear and shoved it into its mouth. And in this situation, I finally understood why these headless and faceless things could tear apart armored vehicles and eat only half of the heads of heavily armed teams.

The World Heroes, Catwoman, Maxim, Longbow and Lady Deer, and the hero who raised the orb of light are still fighting, wondering if they have noticed that one of them has died miserably to the side.

I could clearly feel that the energy generated by each swing of the World Hero's fist could far exceed the power of a cannonball, and the speed and penetration of the longbow's light arrows were even faster than that of a machine gun. Even so, they were still fighting fiercely, because there were so many black devils that it made people's scalps tingle! Until now, although they showed a little tiredness, the longbow did not slow down their attacks in the slightest, and the heroes of the world, like a perpetual motion machine, fought the headless and faceless monsters in a row.

"Shit!, it's going to be endless!" I heard the world hero cursing.

Todd never cheered up after he showed up at these monsters, and he was like a rotten tomato at the moment. Although Scarlett stood beside me, fighting to face the camera, I could also see in the depths of her eyes that she was about to lose her mental state.

If this continues, the final outcome may be the annihilation of the entire army in exchange for the victory of one World Hero - an ending that no one, including the World Hero, wants.

The battle had lasted less than ten minutes, and the battlefield had become a hellish sight. Because they were beaten apart by the heroes of the world, the flesh and blood of those who were swallowed by the monster were thrown out, and all kinds of organs and tissues were everywhere. The dismembered hero fell to the other side in particular, and I felt like I was going to have nightmares for the next few days.

Just as I was about to despair, the deer girl's scream rang out again.

"Sir, I feel it!"

"Oh my God!" Maxim grumbled, "what do you feel again?!"

As soon as the words fell, the air in the distance seemed to crack open, as if the space had been cut by an invisible knife, and the open crack appeared in the scenery elsewhere.

Immediately after, the heroes in black suits rushed in through the cracks in the space.

"What's going on?" I said, looking over there.

"Aha! That girl finally doesn't worry!" Maxim laughed loudly, "It's the second and third teams coming to our back! It's a portal boy, wormhole, you know?"

As if sensing the arrival of new heroes, the monsters turned their heads to look over.

"I'm sorry Mr. World Hero!" shouted the hero who stepped into the battlefield first, "I thought what happened to the third squad was bad enough, but it turned out to be just a monster left behind, and the real army is coming towards you!"

As he spoke, he waved his arm, and a series of explosions overturned the black monsters that surged up. He must have been responsible for the explosion just now.

At this point, dozens of heroes finally gathered in one place and worked together to fight these black nightmares.

"The battle has taken a turn for the better," looking at the camera, Scarlett finally lifted her spirits, "The heroes finally arrived in time, and everything started to get better!"

"Alright, let's hurry up and end this boring battle......" waved his arms, and the world hero seemed to have a plan. "Is John there? John ——!"

I was startled, and I thought he was calling me—John Scott—until a young-looking freckled young man replied in a loud voice, "Sir, here I am!". I'm beginning to understand that the heroes are connected by their real names. However, this part is in the non-disclosure agreement, and we will not disclose it.

"Go, go to Maxim, I want him to build a shield that can fit everyone in! Hold on, hold on, ——!! time."

As he spoke, the World Hero slowly squatted, his leg muscles swelling more and more as he squeezed.

Then, he leaped into the air, and a rocket soared into the air.

"Oh no, no, no, no!" John shook his head as he watched the world hero who flew into the sky and slowly disappeared. At the same time, hearing the call of the heroes of the world, the heroes slowly gathered here while dealing with these monsters.

"Come here, everyone! If you have high combat ability, please go out as much as possible!" said John, walking up to Maxim, "We have thirty seconds left!"

Like steel nails attached to a magnet, the heroes quickly rallied and surrounded John and Maxim – and, of course, us useless journalists – in the middle.

Then Maxim opened his shield. I could see that the heroes standing on the outermost layer were still fighting back against the besieging monsters.

"Please, John," Maxim nodded at John, "That's how people are old, they can't do it!"

"Come on Mr. Maxim!" said John, placing his hand on Maxim's shoulder.

As if inspired by something, Maxim's eyes were glowing, and even each of his beards seemed to be shaking to the fullest.

"What's going on?!" I looked around, and a huge shield with a radius of ten meters was slowly rising, keeping the black monsters out.

"That's my ability, Mr. Reporter," John smiled at me, "my ability is the ability to 'amplify' everyone." ”

"Why do you want to do this?" I looked at the monsters rushing towards me, and in a few moments, the black pressure surrounded our protective shield, "Mr. World Hero?"

"You'd better shoot well," John looked up at the sky, "Mr. World Hero didn't plan to come in, because he was going to wipe out these oil-like things in one fell swoop." ”

The ball of light was still suspended in the sky, and I lifted the lens.

The man, descending from the sky, pointed his fist straight at the battlefield.

"Viewers, this is the scoop from Crisis Today. After I said this to the camera, Mr. World Hero fell.

(iv)

"Ah, this mission is really unexpectedly hard, and now we have to deal with the battlefield, and hopefully we won't be prosecuted for destroying this forest. Shrugging apologetically, the world hero turned away from the camera. Todd turned the camera to me.

"Thanks to the heroes, thanks to their dedication and sacrifice, this strange event has finally come to an end, but what are these strange creatures? Where did they come from? and why did they appear in this forest? ”

When I finished, Todd made an "OK" gesture to me. I let out a long breath. I've never felt so tired.

So is Scarlett. She was slung tightly on my shoulder, like a deflated balloon.

"I'm so tired that I want to postpone the wedding. Scarlett said weakly.

"Me too. ”

With that, the two of us helped each other to get into the field vehicle. The sky was cloudy, and there was a cold chill around me, and I couldn't help but shiver, but I didn't know if it was because of the residual cold or the fear that had not yet settled.

It was a nameless punch, no loud name, no earth-shattering cry, just a punch that fell from the sky and slammed into the ground. All of a sudden, I felt that all the sounds around me were gone. The "thuds" of the monsters squeezing and slapping the shields, their shrill and unbearable laughter, and the gasps of the heroes were all gone.

It was only a brief silence. Immediately afterward, a roar like a hurricane filled my ears. If you press the bottom of the gas pedal in the middle of the desert, you feel as if the windshield is being squeezed by the air – and at the moment, the shield above my head feels like it's starting to crack. I was surrounded in the middle, so I didn't get a chance to see how the black bastards out there were crushed, torn, crushed, and reduced to powder by the hurricane. Even the ball of light above the forest turned into nothingness as the hurricane raged, plunging the entire forest into chaos and distortion.

It was dark all around, and all I could feel was air pressure, and even though I was protected from a barrier that would never be breached, I still felt an irresistible squeeze in my heart and lungs. Protecting Scarlett's head, I crouched down with her, and I didn't even have time to pay attention to the camera.

By the time I opened my eyes again, the battle was over, and the rest of the group was putting the finishing touches on it. And the three of us fainted under that powerful punch.

"Oh, I'm glad you're okay, although the doctor said it was okay, but my heart was still up. Sitting next to me, Mr. World Hero breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Oh my God," I said, shaking my head, "I didn't expect to faint." ”

Suddenly, I remembered that I had fainted in the middle of the battle, so I subconsciously looked around, but I couldn't believe my eyes—the forest was gone, and all that was left was broken tree trunks piled on top of each other here, there, and everywhere.

"Forest ......," I looked at the world hero, "where is the forest?!"

"Oh roar," the world hero scratched his head apologetically, "I overturned it." ”

So, stunned, I woke up Scarlett and Todd. At the very least, we have to report on the results of the battle.

Now, we're going to follow the heroes to the nearest Transhuman Foundation base in Greenland (S.F.G) to Iceland. To be honest, I don't need anything right now, I just want to eat something and get a good night's sleep.

"Don't worry, every base of the Transhuman Foundation is more comfortable than at home, you'll love it," the bearded Maxim looked unusually relaxed now, because of John's "amplification" ability, he was even more tired at the moment, "I'm going to have a drink first hahaha! I'll see Scott later." With that, he climbed another field vehicle.

I've long heard that the person who financed the Transhuman Foundation was a faceless rich man, presumably someone who had received the blessings of transhumanity when he was young. Due to the opposition of many countries, the bases of the Transhuman Foundation in various countries and regions are actually invested and built by that person. It's surprising that the shot is so generous.

Statistically, one member of the battle died - it was the poor guy who could turn into metal, and it was ripped alive right before my eyes - and five members suffered injuries of varying severity, but none of them were life-threatening. One of them was the fawn lady, whose ankle had been bitten by the remains of a monster that was not completely dead, and it didn't look very serious, and it was even recovered quickly because of her animal-like genes, so fast that she was puzzled by herself. World heroes told me that heroes like her, who can be beasts, generally possess extremely strong vitality and physical power. Therefore, it can recover quickly in the face of difficult wounds.

After the technical team of our fellow technical team organized and sampled the corpses of those black monsters, we left there in a car and flew to the base in Greenland with the fighter plane. It seemed that all the difficult problems had been solved, and our interview work was completed without any danger.

I swear, I really don't want to take on another job like this.

I was so tired that I fell asleep on the flight to Greenland.

In my dream, a thin figure turned his back to me, and when I walked up to him, I found the faceless figure holding Scarlett's head, grinning strangely, and laughing so creepily.

Thanks to the noise of the warplane, I was able to wake up from this terrible dream, although I was sweating.

Following the voice, I leaned into the crowd, and Scarlett was there. World heroes can't stand in front because of their tall and strong size, so they can only stand on the periphery. I tapped Scarlett on the shoulder, and she turned her head to see that it was me, and frowned and gave me a place.

"What's going on?" I asked, not knowing what was going on.

"Why is this happening!" I heard the voice of the longbow, anxious and confused. Looking inside, it was the deer girl who was lying, and standing next to her, closest to her, was the accompanying doctor and the longbow.

I didn't ask any more questions, and continued to look at the girl—her expression was painful, but I couldn't really see where she was...... Oh no. I saw that her ankles, where she had been bitten by those black monsters, had grown strangely shaped buds that were the color of tender flesh.

"It's burning badly," the doctor pulled down his mask, his face full of doubts and puzzles, "I don't know why this is happening, there is no sign of infection, and the speed of flesh growth is unprecedentedly fast." ”

"Does it have anything to do with her superpowers?" Longbow asked, "Could it be that it's her bestiality that causes tissue proliferation?"

The doctor nodded: "It is very likely, but the equipment on the fighter plane is not complete enough, and a comprehensive diagnosis cannot be made at all, and the specific cause can only be concluded until the Greenland base." ”

Longbow nodded, but there was no sign of ease.

Although the "Chang Xin ......" burned badly, the "Miss Deer" still reluctantly smiled and called his name, maybe his real name.

"I'm here, I'm here," Longbow leaned over and took her hand, I guessed the girl's hand must be hot right now, "Lulin, I'm here." Don't worry, we'll be at the base soon, you'll be fine soon. ”

I didn't understand what they said, I wasn't very proficient in Chinese, and I only stayed at the level of "thank you", "delicious", and "how to get here". But I guess it must be some reassuring words. Because I saw that the girl nodded in satisfaction.

After the crowd dispersed, I saw Longbow sitting alone on a chair in the dining room. He had a glass of milk in front of him, but his sad expression didn't look like he wanted to drink it at all.

I didn't know what to do, but I knew I was a good listener, so I walked over.

"You don't look good," I sat down next to him, patting him on the shoulder, "Aren't you going to eat?"

When I photographed him, he was visibly taken aback. But when he looked up and saw that it was me, he was not very surprised, but shook his head: "It's nothing, I just don't know what to do...... She fell ill so suddenly, I was a little overwhelmed. ”

"You and that deer......" I don't know what to call her.

"Her name is Lu-lin," Longbow repeats her name, "which means deer in the forest." ”

I nodded, it was a fitting name.

"I've known her since I was a child, and we're friends in the world. He laughed, very naturally, as if he remembered many good things.

"You like her a lot, don't you?" I asked him.

Unexpectedly, the longbow blushed: "How did you see it?" ”

"Because I'm also the one to get married," I shrugged, "and I can smell it with my nose now." This is not bragging. ”

He laughed and looked down at the glass of milk in front of him: "Yes, I have liked her since I was a child, and I think I will probably confess to her when we are no longer engaged in such a dangerous job." ”

"Oh my God," I said about the job, and I instantly had another topic, "your job, all I can say, is really the hardest and most dangerous job in the world." I've seen that hero ripped off!"

He nodded: "I know who you are talking about, he is Egyptian, and he has a sister at home......"

He paused.

"The job...... It's dangerous, and it's always inevitable that people will die. My clan has the blood of hunters, so I draw my bow, and her clan has the blood of the forest, so she is like a deer, vigilant and agile. My elders told me that if there is no pursuit, death is just death, and if there is a great pursuit, death can be dressed in beauty and called sacrifice. Now that I can use this power for the sake of the beauty of this world, I think it is worth it. ”

He's right, this mission also made me look at heroes and transhumans anew. Although they have talents that ordinary people can't match, they also have good souls, and they love others equally.

"Hunter and deer," I pouted, a little puzzled, "it's incredible that you are world friends." ”

He cocked up his index finger, as if to emphasize what he was going to say: "We're not going to hunt the inhabitants of the forest, but the enemies of the forest—like those weird things today, they don't belong to the forest." Do you understand Chinese mythology?"

I shook my head, "I only know dragons." ”

"Yes, we hunt dragons, black dragons. We also hunt the nine-headed snake and some other ferocious monsters. This is what our family used to do. ”

"Why did you join the Transhuman Foundation?"

"The family is gone," he sighed, "the power of the family is coveted by others, and everyone is killed. When I was studying abroad, I heard that someone came to learn our skills, so I also had a junior brother. It's a pity that there is no news at all, and there is no trace. ”

"He'll be ...... too," I didn't know how to describe it, so I made a bow draw.

Seeing my antics and stretching out his hand, the emerald green longbow "swished" out of his hand.

"This is a way to shape the soul," he said, and as he pulled the bowstring, the light and arrow naturally condensed on the string, and when he put away the bowstring, he threw it upward, and the emerald green bow floated into the air again, "The bow and the arrow are made of the soul." ”

"It's amazing. "My eyes widened in disbelief at what was in front of me, it looked like magic.

"Different people shape souls into different things, so I don't know what he will do, after all, hunters don't necessarily use bows and arrows to hunt nowadays," he thought, "and maybe he can turn souls into bullets." ”

I nodded: "I have to say, your world is amazing. I still like my ordinary life. When I get back to the headquarters from Greenland, I'm going home to get married. ”

"You're getting married?" he raised an eyebrow, "congratulations." ”

I nodded, "Thank you." Originally, I didn't plan to get married, but when I reached a certain age, I felt as if I was inspired—and you should know that feeling—to live well with my woman. ”

"I don't know," he shook his head, "I just love her, and I haven't thought about anything else." ”

"Well," I nodded, "isn't that enough?"

Then I stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, she'll be fine." ”

"Thanks," he nodded, "would you have written those words in the report?"

"Hey, this is a conversation between men," I laughed, "and I don't plan to dedicate everything to my vision. ”

I don't know if my comfort is useful, but I like this lad very much. He was always quiet, and when he fought, he was a man of respect.

But things didn't get any better because of my comfort. By the time we arrived at the Greenland base, Ms. Lulin's condition had deteriorated to the point of astonishment—the sprouts, as if they were not simply growing, they were differentiating and growing into the shape of a foot. Her body temperature also rose more and more, to the point where it was difficult to control.

Fortunately, emergency measures were taken at the Greenland base, and now she has been transferred to the emergency department. And at this moment, the longbow looked even more restless.

Moving with the same trepidation as the longbow, the anxiety of the world hero is something that he has never revealed in battle: "How can it be ...... like this?"

Now, even I don't know how to comfort them.

I just felt that, although the matter had been resolved, there was a sense of anxiety that came with the sudden illness of the deer forest to the Greenland base.

"How can this be......" the world hero still repeats his words.

After waiting for about an hour, the doctors came out.

"The body temperature has been controlled, the proliferation of tissues has been contained, and I haven't woken up yet, but it's definitely out of danger. ”

Nodding, the World Hero furrowed his brow.

"What should I do with the growth?" Longbow continued.

"Excision," the doctor looked at him, "won't hurt the ankle, and won't leave a scar with her recovery." ”

"Then why is this happening?"

"Maybe it's a disorder. ”

"Disorder?"

"Yes, disorder," the doctor nodded, "and the local ability to run wild happens to be reflected in the healing wound, and that deformed foot is formed. ”

At this time, even the longbow had no choice, so he could only repeat the words of the world hero: "How can this be ......"

But the horror finally settled, and I, an unrelated person, could catch my breath.

"Longbow decided to stay here with the deer," I walked side by side with the World Hero, and he explained the rest of the arrangements to me, "The rest of the personnel will rest for the night, and tomorrow we can go back to headquarters." ”

I nodded, and I was happy with the arrangement.

"You can try the bars and arenas here," the World Hero led me to my room, "you're going to like it, and I'm guessing Miss Perez will." ”

I nodded, "I'll have to take a shower and get some sleep, though." The mental pressure of this job is much stronger than the physical pressure!"

"Is that stressful? Then you should really come with me to fix the nuclear power plant. ”

"Oh, come on," I must firmly refuse, "I am not going to go unless you kill me." ”

With that, I pushed open the door to my room and said goodbye to him, "See you in the evening, Mr. World Hero." ”

I have to say, the bed at the base was really comfortable, so soft that I felt like I was going to sink in. I was lying on the bed, Scarlett was lying next to me, and we both stared blankly at the ceiling.

"What are you thinking?" I asked Scarlett. Even though I took a nap on the plane, my limbs were still sore and my eyelids were fighting. Todd complained to me on the plane, saying that he almost killed him, and that he must be sleeping in the room now.

"What will you do with that 'fawn'?" she didn't seem to have forgotten to worry about Lulin.

"I don't know," I said, looking at her sideways, "after all, it's not something we should worry about. ”

"But I always have ......"

"What's there?"

"There was a sense of foreboding. ”

"God forbid, shut up," I said, shaking my head and gently putting my hand over her shoulder, "the mission is over, our work is done, and the big things have nothing to do with us." What we have to worry about now is how to write a good report and how to show up on time for the wedding!"

Scarlett nodded in agreement, "You're right, dear, you're so right. ”

We talked a little bit and fell asleep.

I didn't know what had happened while I was asleep, but when I opened my eyes, I thought something terrible had happened. Because the noise outside the door even pierced my door, I could clearly hear the hysterical man's shouts.

"What's that! That's something——!!"

(5)

"What's going on?" I was drowsy in my head and thirsty in my mouth. Look at the bedside, Scarlett wasn't there, maybe she got up earlier.

The noise outside the door made me a little uneasy, but there were enough worries for today. I don't think it's necessary for me, as a reporter, to understand all the contradictions between their players.

But the voice outside the door was distinctly hysterical, almost frantic screaming.

"Don't touch me! Look what the hell this is! Don't ask me again! Don't ask me again!!"

My heart chuckled.

Seriously, I really don't want to get involved in those things anymore, but my heart tells me it must be a terrible thing. I had to go check it out.

So I quickly got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.

"Scarlett!

I followed the noise as I searched for Scarlett along the way. On the dome of the base, it was already dark, and there were more and more stars in the sky. I think Scarlett must be in the place where the quarrel happened, and when this conflict subsides, I want to go out with her to see the stars.

As I turned the hallway, the noise became clearer, and I could even make out whose throat the voice was being hoarse from the screaming.

"Longbow, what the hell is going on?"

"Don't ask me again!Don't ask me again!!"

"Oh no, no, no, no, boy, you'd better put your bow away. ”

Oh my.

I stood around the corner and looked down the hall. The first thing that came into my eyes was the glittering bow of the longbow, and where the arrow pointed, stood tall world heroes. The heroes who surrounded the two of them in the middle watched Longbow nervously, including Suzanne Catwoman and Maxim the Bearded, all warning him.

"Calm down," unlike the others, the World Hero didn't seem so flustered, he looked at the longbow, without the slightest momentum of attack, "We haven't even figured out what's going on, why are you so impatient?"

"Yes, boy," said Maxim, too, "I see you're mad, put away your bow and arrows, it's too dangerous." ”

In the distance, I saw the longbow's appearance—a sweaty face, bloodshot eyes, and his body heaving violently from heavy gasps, like a frightened rabid dog. What's going on, it was fine just now, why did they suddenly quarrel?

"Kid, what the hell is going on with you?" the world hero took a step forward, trying to get closer to Longbow.

"Get out of here!!"

As soon as the longbow fell, the World Hero quickly turned sideways, and a light arrow grazed his chest and slanted upwards against the wall of the hall. Accompanied by a huge explosion, a bright green light instantly shone on the wall behind the heroes.

"Are you crazy!" Maxim roared, and the onlookers seemed ready to rush to subdue the already mad longbow.

But their actions were stopped by the world hero reaching out.

"Don't move," the World Hero's brow furrowed as he looked at the longbow in front of him, "I'll do it." ”

As soon as the words fell, his tall body disappeared in front of everyone's eyes as if withdrawn.

The longbow seemed to be resisting. But in the next second, the world hero's broad palm slammed into the back of his neck, causing him to fall defenselessly.

The crowd rushed up and held the longbow tightly. Although he is a hero, the longbow does not seem to be good at hand-to-hand combat, and he can only scream miserably when he is held down by everyone, but he can't move a bit.

The world hero standing behind Longbow looked at him with concern and let out a long sigh.

Seeing that the crisis was solved, I couldn't help but walk up and ask.

"Hey, Mr. World Hero," I said to him at a trot, "what's going on?"

The world hero didn't answer me, he shook his head.

I heard Maxim's rough rebuke: "What the hell is going on with you kid! Your fawn girl is still lying in the hospital room, do you want her to wake up and see such a scene!"

"You let go of me!!she doesn't!!tagenbenjiubuzainali!!" I could feel that Longbow had fallen into complete confusion at this time, his words were mixed with English and Chinese, and his voice was hoarse.

"He just shot a creature that broke into the base," Mr. World Hero pointed to that side, "and it turned out like this." ”

I looked over there, and there was indeed the remains of an animal lying in the place that the World Hero was pointing to, but I couldn't tell what it was.

I looked around again, but I didn't see Scarlett. Where would she be in this place, at this time? When such a big thing happened, her keen sense of conflict should have guided her to come here in the first place.

"What the fuck did I do......" I heard the subdued longbow behind me stop struggling, his voice fainting, as if he had uttered it with the last of his strength.

As I approached the strange creature that had been shot down by the longbow - I had seen enough strange things today, there was a palpable burning mark on the wall not far from it, and it was much larger than the one he had left when he shot at the hero of the world, and I could tell that the longbow must have used a great deal of force to pull his bow away when it killed it.

And the missing head on the animal's neck confirmed my suspicion: the light arrow even burned the animal's head directly. Only the cross-section of the charred neck remains.

I looked at the monster further.

I haven't seen a normal creature today! Judging by the hard, parted palms, this thing must be an artiodactyl, but I've never seen a five-legged mammal - a non-anomalous leg sticks out of its side, giving it an extra hoof on the left side of its body than on the right, and the extra leg itself is not abnormal, but the fact that "one extra leg" is a little weird.

Moreover, the animal's neck is irregularly covered with disgusting eyeballs. Green sap flowed from those eyes, like mucus from breaking the stems of a plant.

Luckily, I didn't eat anything, otherwise I would have vomited.

The other heroes gathered here to discuss this strange thing.

"Maybe he's under too much pressure," I said to the World Hero, "after all, after such a fierce battle today, and his girlfriend is still lying in the custody unit at the moment. ”

The World Hero also nodded: "You're right, fortunately, no one was hurt. So he won't be punished very heavily. Maybe you can be exempted from punishment after completing the mental state assessment. ”

After a pause, the World Hero sighed: "I've never seen him like this, he's an impeccable hunter, he shouldn't be like this." ”

"Maybe we can go and see the surveillance later," I proposed, "so we can find out why he's out of control." ”

"You're right. ”

Just then, Maxim walked over.

"Oh, it's annoying," he grabbed his right shoulder with his left hand and waved his right arm vigorously, "People are too old to withstand this kind of tossing." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the corpse of the animal that had fallen over there.

"What is this? He shot to death?" it was clear that he had seen the extra leg as well.

The World Hero nodded: "I don't know what it is." ”

Maxim sneered and took out a hunting knife from behind his waist: "Just look at it." ”

"Wait!" I went up to stop him, "wouldn't that be too reckless?"

Maxim raised an eyebrow: "Don't worry Mr. Scott, it's dead." Dead animals are nothing more than raw meat. So saying, he crouched down and plunged the knife into the animal's belly with great skill.

His optimism made me feel unpleasant. Didn't he know what a strange and dangerous job he was doing every day?

The blade was sharp, and with a smooth stroke, the animal's belly was open, and a pool of green organs flowed out along with the slime. But there was no strong fishy smell coming out, and there was not even a trace of a strange smell in the air.

"Oh," Maxim frowned, "why green blood?"

Fearing that something terrible was contagious—like the zombie virus, which I often see in movies, and I was also afraid that that thing would become a reality—I took a few steps back.

"Can you tell what kind of organs these are?" asked Susanna, Catwoman, leaning closer to Maxim.

Maxim shook his head: "I don't know, you see, it's like a bunch of knotted threads, you can't see the heart and lungs, and the intestines, liver, nothing—nothing." ”

As he spoke, he dipped his fingers in a little bit of the green liquid, oh my god this is disgusting. I couldn't help but turn my head, I didn't think I needed to stay here, they would definitely take care of it, yes, it was just a simple clash between the players. Now it's time for me to go look for Scarlett, I want to get out of here since I didn't find her.

With that in mind, I walked back.

Suddenly, the hero of the world reached out and patted me on the shoulder.

"Mr. Scott, may I come with you?"

"Oh," I nodded, "but you don't need to stay here in command?"

He grinned, "Actually, I rarely participate in management, that's Jason's job, the captain of the second squad, the man who made the forest explode - he's a shrewd guy at that." ”

So I slowed down and left the hall with the world heroes.

"I'm sorry to let you see this," he pouted, "and we rarely have such contradictions. ”

"I think you've handled it pretty well," I didn't think it was a big deal, "at least you didn't hurt anyone, which is remarkable." ”

He listened to me and pondered for a while.

Suddenly, while we were both silent, his communicator rang.

"What's wrong?" asked the World Hero with the instrument on.

"Captain!" Unexpectedly, a panicked voice came from the other end of the communicator, "Miss Lu is gone!

When I heard the words, my heart chuckled. The longbow phrase sounded like a roar in my head.

"You let go of me!!she doesn't!!tagenbenjiubuzainali!!"

I looked up at the hero of the world, and his face was gloomy like never before. He must not have imagined that after all this was over, the most terrifying and intractable thing would happen in what should have been the safest base. But that's not the most frightening thing, because at this point, I somehow thought of the weird animal, the hoofed animal.

"Oh...... No. ”

I felt a chill run up my ankles, through my spine, and finally up my skull, causing my scalp to feel numb. Then my hairs stood on end.

I guess the heroes of the world think the same thing as I do at this time.

"Mr. Scott," he looked down at me, "can you come with me to the monitoring room?"

But Scarlett ...... "I looked at him with some embarrassment, and I understood that he had asked me to go with him to keep me safe—this base seemed to have been turned into a castle of absurd fairy tales."

"We'll find her, but the only one I can protect at the moment is you. He frowned, and there was a tactful plea and a resolute command in his tone.

Nodding helplessly, I compromised. Indeed, with the company of world heroes, it is also easy to find Scarlett and Todd.

......

"Transferred to the intensive care unit. Standing beside the staff, the World Hero commanded.

The scene cuts to the custody room, which is empty. Not to mention Lu Lin himself, even the caretakers, doctors, and even the guards were not there. The whole picture is empty, as if no man's land.

"Onward," the World Hero continued, "Onwards." ”

The picture began to recede, and a blurry mass appeared on the screen.

"Stop. Said the world hero.

He leaned close to the screen, and I approached with him. Although the footage was blurry, I could tell that it was an animal, the same size as the one shot with a longbow, except that its head was still on its neck.

I squinted my eyes, I wanted to take a good look at what strange thing it was, with five legs like this.

Unlike other artiodactyls, it had a long, thin head and no horns. But it has a long mane like a horse (horses are odd hoofs) with a round head under the long black mane......

When I saw it, I felt a wave of dizziness and a strong feeling of nausea. I should have guessed, but I'm praying to God right now—no matter what God, God would be shocked when he sees this—I pray to all the gods in the world, I pray that all I see is a ridiculous post-production, that I'm just participating in a big reality show, because that's the only way I can escape this reality that is slowly starting to get distorted.

If you've already guessed it too, yes, you're not wrong. The animal had the head of the deer forest and the face of the deer forest. It was a somewhat distorted, festering face, brown hair stretching slowly from the animal's neck to the man's chin, and one of her eyes tilted excessively toward her temple—like a herbivore, with eyes growing on either side of the head, helping them to observe to the left and right as they graze—as if the face had the appearance of a quarter of a deer. And the long black mane, where is the mane, it is nothing more than her long black hair.

I looked up at the world hero and I saw his shock.

He raised his large hand, kneading his temples, urging the already stunned staff, "Go on." ”

So the screen continues to play backwards.

The deer, with an extra leg on the left side of its body, limped backwards across the screen, its dense eyes blinking irregularly.

Suddenly, its belly cracked, and first a guard, who fell out of its belly, slowly retreated to his post, and the gun in his hand flew back into his hand from elsewhere. Immediately after, the paramedics, one by one, ran out of its stomach and left the scene backwards.

"Mr. World Hero ......" Finally, the technician stiffly looked back at the World Hero, "She ......"

"Go on. ”

After spitting out the medical staff, the deer continued to retreat, limping back to the hospital room. Then, the hair slowly receded, the body stood up, the extra leg on the left side gradually became shorter, and the original beautiful appearance of the deer forest reappeared in front of my eyes.

Suddenly, her stomach cracked open again, and two doctors, one of whom was the one who treated her on the plane, jumped out. She then lay back into her hospital bed and began to convulse violently and let out terrible screams. The doctors rushed backwards out of the room in her convulsions.

The footage is back to normal.

The above images are all played backwards.

I'm on the verge of a breakdown.

"The screen pans to the lobby," said the World Hero, "from the moment it (it) leaves the custody room." ”

Oh my God, I don't want to describe that picture anymore.

The deer, which had eaten an unknown number of people, limped through the uninhabited passage, and because the heroes were in the rest area, it reached the hall slowly but unimpeded.

On the other side, Longbow, who went to visit her in the custody room, found that it was already empty. So he ran down the hall.

He was fast and found it in the hall.

I don't know what Longbow's mood was at the time, but I understand why he fell into hysteria. I saw the monster, limping close to the longbow, the shape-shaped face trying to get closer to the longbow, but the shape-shaped mouth seemed to be unable to utter a decent word.

Longbow backed away, and I saw him slowly let his guard down, his face full of suspicion, and then, when the deer's face began to speak, he was stunned. Then, he began to cry, shaking his head and tearing his hair hard. The closer the monster got to him, the more he retreated, as if every time he approached, he was more convinced that this deformed thing in front of him was his lover, Lulin, who had been with him for more than twenty years.

Once again, the face called out to Longbow's name.

Longbow wailed, and he bent down hard, pounding his chest. Then he stood up, and the bow of light in his hand was as full as a full moon.

The monster flinched back in fear.

The longbow aimed at it, little by little. He seems to be asking the monster where his lover is. How could he have believed that Lulin would turn into such an ugly thing.

The deformed face, all the more disgusting with fear, leaned forward and called out the name of the longbow.

His face froze.

Then, in a hysterical roar, he unleashed the arrow. Because of the loss of reason, the arrow even deflected, but it still burned the head of the deer forest, leaving the corpse of a deer with an extra leg, and fell to the ground with a pop.

Then, the heroes of the world appeared in the picture like the wind.

"How...... How could this be!" I stepped back, not knowing what to say. How could a simple task become like this?

"Mr. Scott," the World Hero straightened up, his gaze looking at the screen monitoring the hall, "I need you to wait here for a moment. I'll be right back. ”

Following his gaze, I could see that the heroes were kneeling on the ground, layered around the corpses of the deer forest, like a pack of hyenas dividing up the dead bodies.

(f)

The heroes of the world galloped away, leaving behind some of the forces that flipped me to the ground. I don't understand what the heroes are doing around the long-dead corpse — I don't know how to describe it, whether it's the corpse of the deer forest or the corpse of the monster — is there.

"Here," the technician sitting next to me handed me something, "this will help you." ”

I looked down and it was a pistol.

I took it, and now I need this: "Thank you." ”

With that, the figure of the World Hero appeared in the hall, and I could hear the sonic boom he produced as he ran into the hall from the surveillance footage.

"Hey!" the World Hero shouted at the heroes surrounding the corpses, "Guys, what are you doing!"

Hearing the shouts of the heroes of the world, the heroes looked back at him. Each of them had green slime on their faces from scrambling and eating the corpse - they were eating it, they were eating the corpse of a monster alive. None of them, including Maxim and Susanna, still maintained their sanity.

"Hey man...... "Maxim smiled at the World Hero, green slime dripping from his beard, "you should have come and taste this meat, it's so sweet." "I can't see his pupils anymore, and his whole eye is only gray and white.

"Stop," shouted the World Hero, "that's the corpse of the Deer Grove!"

Hearing this, everyone hesitated.

Subsequently, the hero of the world received such a response.

"It's the corpse of a fawn! no wonder it......'s so tender," he said, as Maxim brushed the mucus from the corner of his mouth with his thumb and rubbed his fingers as if he were reminiscing.

Even Suzanne became no longer normal: "Can she really turn into a full-fledged deer? Then her abilities are too well developed, but...... Are you really willing to live with a deer for the rest of your life?"

As she spoke, she looked back.

The group of zombie-like heroes stepped out of the way, revealing the only one still gnawing on the deer's remains.

As if sensing the strangeness of this silence, the man reluctantly raised his head and looked back at the world hero.

"Oh no. I said at the same time as the world hero.

That man, it's a longbow.

"Longbow, what are you doing!" shouted the World Hero, "Stop! For God's sake! ”

Hearing this, Longbow hesitated for a moment.

As they spoke, I didn't give up the chance to search for Scarlett - I'm sure she wasn't eaten by the Deer Grove, but I couldn't find any trace of her in the surveillance area.

"Captain. Longbow turned around, and I was startled: even through the screen I could see that his legs were missing, and black liquid was pouring out of his waist, and he was like a sinner who had been cut in half, prostrate forward, leaving a black mark.

"Captain, that thing isn't Deer Forest," he said, black juice began to flow out of Longbow's white eyes, "Lu Lin just recovered and went home." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to the corpse that had been gnawed all over the place, revealing ribs: "It's just a lump of meat, very tasty meat." Slowly, black slime began to pour out more and more violently, supporting the remaining half of Longbow's body.

The light bow reappeared, only the color was no longer emerald green.

Following the longbow, the heroes stood up one after another, their facial features and limbs, and black liquid flowed out uncontrollably. Oh my God, the way they look now makes me think of those horrible black monsters.

"Damn it. Those were the words of the world hero who gritted his teeth.

Then he ran to the monsters. The surveillance room lost its view of the hall.

A loud roar and explosion came from the hall.

"What are we going to do?" the technician was asking me what to do at the moment?!

I shook my head, though the world hero wanted me to wait for him here, I couldn't just wait - my heart had now gone from the horror and cold just now to a ball of fire, I was going to find my fiancée, I was going to find my partner! I was the most insignificant of the base, but now I should gamble for my life!

"Sorry world hero. Secretly apologizing, I turned and walked out the door.

The battle must have triggered the alarm, and the Greenland base became hellish in the intermittent flashing red siren lights.

I'm going to find Scarlett and Todd, then escape from this base and drive to the nearest town. I'm going to report what happened here, and I'm sure there's going to be an organization that can stop this disaster, right!

With that in mind, I groped my way through the blinding red light. The sound of a fight could still be heard in the distance, and the explosion shook off the white wall above my head, and I didn't know that the heroes of the world could deal with so many monsters. But I believe he is the strongest hero, and if even he can't stop this catastrophe, then all we mortals can do is pray.

I shouldn't have accepted this commission at all, I was just a war correspondent, I was going to have a happy marriage, and my future was bright. Because of this strange work, it was because of the contact with these superhumans, these gifted freaks who were favored by the gods, and now I can't even be sure if my life can be saved. What a fool I am! I should have understood that this was not my right field, that my curiosity, my desire to explore the unknown, had harmed not only me, but also the innocent Scarlett! Oh God, Scarlett, why didn't I heed your advice to stop this life-giving work! I should have known that you were always right! You were always right!

"Scarlett——!" I shouted her name, but received no response.

"Scarlett ——!"

"Scarlett ......"

Before the third shout was finished, a huge gap was made in the wall in front of me, and the flying masonry bounced me backwards, but in a panic I saw the black figure flying in slowly crawling up in a puff of smoke.

"Ahh

The black figure's head tilted back, and black mucus poured out of its cracked mouth.

"Ah...... Mr. Scott......"

No, it's the sound of a longbow.

"It's you...... Mr. Scott ......, "The shapeless body of the monster grew two small hands, which then drew the bow.

I felt my legs go weak because I knew I had nowhere to run.

"Mr. Scott...... "The monster doesn't know what organ it is using to look at me," didn't you say that she would be fine...... Why ......"

"Longbow!" I had nothing to say but to shout his name helplessly.

"Ah......h Perhaps it still has an unlost humanity.

Damn, I was wrong.

"But let's be honest......," he said, pulling his bow again, "I felt really ...... when I shot her ugly face to shreds Very good. ”

I raised my arms and begged for mercy to keep him out of my view.

There was another loud roar.

I opened my eyes, and saw that it was another, taller body that had sent the longbow monster flying next door.

"Whew," he exhaled heavily, and Mr. World Hero greeted me, "are you alright, Scott?"

"Oh my!" I grabbed at the straw and couldn't help but smile on my face, "Great! Great! Mr. World Hero......"

My smile froze on my face—not a single part of the world hero in front of me was still intact, and even his sturdy suit had been torn to pieces. The most serious wound was on his flank, where blood was oozing outward. I never thought that the strongest heroes would suffer such a crisis.

"Sir, you!" I stepped forward to help him, but found that I couldn't do anything.

He waved his hand: "I'm sorry, it's wise for you to escape on your own - I didn't expect them to be so powerful, and my strength ...... It's like it's in recession. ”

I frowned tightly and looked at the scarred hero in front of me.

I heard countless heroes roaring outside the gap, in the hall.

"Sir, let's run away!" I suggested to him.

But shaking his head very resolutely, the world hero rejected the offer.

"You go. With me, they won't catch up with you. ”

"What about you!" to be honest, I was ashamed that I had a little bit of happiness in my heart.

"Protect you," he said, straightening up, ignoring the broken wound and the blood flowing, "protecting the helpless, that's the hero's job." ”

As he spoke, he didn't look at me again, and rushed into the black whirlpool, leaving behind a phrase "Say hello to my family on my behalf" and a gust of wind.

I wanted to cry, but now I can't. I gritted my teeth and rushed towards the exit.

Until I escaped from the base, I still hadn't found Scarlett and Todd. In front of me was the wind-blown mountain forest, and behind me was the exploding Greenland base.

I need a car.

Searching around, my eyes fell on the parking lot not far away.

I ran over there, and as I wished, a field buggy stopped there. But to my delight, Scarlett and Todd were also in that car.

"Hey——! "Oh my God, I can't help but want to cheer." I waved my arms high and ran towards them.

"Oh my God! I'm glad you're all right!" I shouted as I ran towards the buggy, "It's getting a mess inside, let's go! Let's go to the nearest town! Todd, do you have the camera? at least bring the memory card!"

But none of them answered.

I slowed down, feeling a little more uneasy.

"Scarlett, Scarlett?" I approached the field vehicle, and Todd and Scarlett were clearly sitting in the car, but they both looked ahead and paid no attention to me.

I'm one step closer. He smiled at Scarlett, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Why don't you ignore me and stop messing with us...... Ahh——!h

Oh my God, am I really not dreaming!When will this damn nightmare end!My Scarlett!My lovely fiancée, her head, is on Todd's neck!And her slender body, her slender white neck, is against the head of my good partner Todd!!

I can't hear my own wails anymore, I've had enough.

"Yo. ”

Suddenly, a greeting voice came from behind me.

No matter who it is, no matter what you want, as long as you are willing to save me now and take me out of this hellish place, I am willing to do anything!

I shouted inwardly, and I looked back at the source of the voice.

With my back to the burning Greenland base, a young man appeared before my eyes. Another Asian, perhaps the same Chinese as Longbow. Is he a staff member? Why is he here? I don't care! I just need to get out of here!

"Oh sir, thank you for being here," I stepped forward, I felt a little difficult to breathe, maybe too nervous, too scared, maybe it was because I had just inhaled too much dust, "please take me out of here!"

But the young man was unmoved, and he patted my hand on his shoulder comfortingly, and then said to me.

"Are you satisfied with my work?"

I was stunned for a moment.

What did he say?

"Your fiancée and your good partner," he said with a sore sore at their corpses in the car, "I hope the two of them will never leave you, so I put your fiancée's shrewd and intelligent head on your partner's strong body, how about it, like? ”

I felt as if I had been electrocuted, and quickly fled from the man's side. His dark hair and bloodless face were like a hammer hitting my mind.

"What the hell are you!!" I roared, pulling out the gun the staff had given me as I fled.

The damn young man, his figure was pitch black because his back was to the flames, revealing only a pair of crimson eyes!

"you, demon!"

Roaring, I pulled the trigger repeatedly, I'm going to kill him, I'm going to beat this bastard who killed my fiancée into a sieve! I don't want to run away now, I'm going to kill this bastard!

The bullet clearly hit. But it wasn't him who hit.

He smiled and raised his chin at me.

At this point, the explosion in the base disappeared. The wind stopped howling, and the trees stopped crowming. There was a sudden silence all around, except for the sound of the base burning silently behind him.

I looked up at the night sky, and to my shock, there was an emerald green aurora from one end of the sky, covering it like silk, and the bright stars were like a handful of large and small diamonds scattered on this silk.

I dropped my gun and watched in despair as the young man carried the head of the world hero like a jack-o'-lantern - every shot I shot was firmly on the head of the world hero. By this time, his face had been turned beyond recognition by my angry shooting.

I lost all my strength and sat down on the ground all at once.

I could feel him slowly approaching me.

He squatted down and patted me on the shoulder: "Unfortunately, it's not you who should go out and report the news." ”

As he spoke, he shoved me.

I fell to the ground on my back, the night sky was beautiful, and my tense body was finally able to relax. At this point, I felt that the ground was damn soft. I couldn't even resist wanting to sleep a little longer.

There was a rustling around me, and I heard Maxim's voice, the longbow, and Susanna's voice, and they slowly gathered around. I thought it must be because it was so cold on the ground that they wanted to invite me in.

It was so dark that I couldn't even see their faces, but I felt that their faces were blocking my view and preventing me from continuing to admire the beautiful emerald glow that covered the Greenland night sky.
