Chapter 248: Danger lurks
"Good news!" A scrambling officer pushed open the door of the stretch van and shouted excitedly to Agent Thomas, who was watching TV, "Our helicopter has found a suspicious target!" ”
"An adult male crocodile at the city's zoo escaped from the zoo last night, and the police are reminding citizens to stay safe and try not to go near the water, if they find it......" Thomas turned off the TV that was broadcasting local news and turned to look at the officer. ”
"Here!" The officer walked over to the map on the table and gestured to an area: "This was a large swamp, full of deep pits and muddy mires covered by water. The experts at the Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info thought that no one would be able to get through the surrounding swamp full of traps without the help of large tools, so we didn't send anyone in before. However, in the evening, a helicopter deviated into the nearby airspace and found two people in the center of the swamp, where there was a clearing. While there is no way to fully confirm whether or not they are suspects, their identities are almost certain if they are present in the area at this moment. ”
"Good." Thomas's original anxiety was also slightly relaxed, after all, everyone involved was under a lot of pressure, and if there was no progress all the time, no one would be better" Can you send a helicopter over to confirm your identity?" ”
"It's too late, it's getting dark. Even if our helicopter passed, we couldn't see the people hiding in the woods. The officer hesitated slightly: "Do you want to wait until tomorrow to shoot the helicopter?" ”
"Can't wait that long!" Thomas raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the table in front of him, "I've already called me three times from the Washington headquarters today, and if we can't catch anyone, we'll all be finished." Immediately mobilize men to completely cordon off the surrounding area of this swamp, and at the same time mobilize helicopters and large hovercraft from everywhere, and we will kill them! ”
"Today is the last day." The morning sun rose again, and the fiery red clouds covered the entire sky, and ten thousand golden rays penetrated the sky, enveloping the heavens and the earth with a layer of golden light. Watching this beauty in the woods of the countryside off the beaten track is a rare treat for those who spend their days struggling to live in a polluted city.
"Will you be able to go home today?" It is surrounded by dense tall trees up to tens of meters high, and in the middle is a dry open space of hundreds of square meters, with a blanket spread in the middle of the clearing, and some man-made garbage such as empty water bottles and food packaging bags scattered around. Xu Xian, who looked a little haggard, sat on the blanket, his hands wrapped around his legs, his round and jade chin rested on his knees, and he leaned slightly sideways on the promise of the side, and a trace of expectation and nervousness flashed on his tired face, "I miss my parents very much." ”
The air was filled with the damp scent of the trees in the early morning, and a faint mist filled the air. Xu Yu took Xu Xian's shoulder and patted it gently, "Wait until nine o'clock in the evening, and then we can go home." You'd better think about how you're going to explain the disappearance of the past few days to other people when you get back. I guess they're about to call the police. ”
Xu Xian pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't say anything more.
For a moment, Promise's ears moved slightly, and he squinted his eyes and stood up, "It's time for us to go, those annoying flies are already here." ”
In the distance, some small black dots gradually began to appear in the sky, and the woods that had been screaming insects and birds soon fell silent, and the mournful sound of breaking the sky in the distance became louder and louder. It was impatient, the police used helicopters to transport the commandos, and after dawn rushed straight to them.
In fact, it wasn't the police who worried about Xu Promise. Although there is a certain danger, the promise has not yet taken these police officers into account. What he really feared was the Grim Reaper, who didn't know where to hide.
Because of the peeping of the Grim Reaper, who has incomprehensible powers, Promise is not willing to leave this area of his choice. If you use teleportation to return to the city, God knows if the Grim Reaper will directly cause the house he is in the neighborhood to collapse?
If it wasn't a last resort, he promised not to leave this place.
"They're right here!" Thomas, who walked off the plane with the first wave of assault troops, raised his hand and shook off his windbreaker, came to the location where Xu Xu and Xu Xian were before, looked at the blanket with residual warmth in front of him and the many various garbage scattered around him, and nodded vigorously, "Catch them!" ”
Promise had no interest in killing all the cops, all he wanted was to stall for time. In this vast area of woods and swamps, hundreds of police and militia are helpless in the face of the promise of mastery of all kinds of skills and even superpowers.
Even though helicopters were flying in the sky and large hovercraft were cruising around the swamps to blockade them, their search was not fruitful. In addition to reporting the disappearance of several militiamen for no reason.
"This can't be!?" The clearing in the middle of the woods was already crowded with all kinds of personnel and materials at this time, and Agent Thomas, who was in charge of this search operation, scratched his already little hair vigorously, and his eyes were bloodshot: "So many people have been searching all day, this place is not too big, how can it be that nothing has been found?" And there are five more missing?! Crazy? How do I have to explain this to the above?! ”
Although there is a joke in the United States that dogs are worth more than human lives, in fact, American lives are still more valuable. This is especially true in the nineties. Today, instead of finding people, five more people were lost, and once this matter is poked out, no one can resist it. This is not abroad.
The police and militia leaders around Thomas were all gloomy, and no matter who put up this kind of thing, it was impossible to have a good face, especially the people in Connecticut, whose faces were gloomy and about to drip. This is a real disaster for them. If it weren't for the inappropriate location, they would be able to lash out at the bastard junks in New York State right now, and it's not impossible to stage an all-out martial arts outright!
"Go find them all! What are you doing standing here with me?! Thomas, whose face was a little hideous, shouted at the fools around him: "If you can't find it before dawn tomorrow, then everyone will be finished together!" No one can carry this black pot! It can only be that everyone dies together! ”
The leaders around also knew the seriousness of this matter, and no one wanted to throw away their black hats, and hurriedly scattered to continue the search for the whereabouts of the suspect. The only way to avoid this crisis is to catch the suspects and press the missing people on the suspects' heads. Otherwise, all of them, the on-site commanders, would have to take off their uniforms. They pay a lot of money for these uniforms!
The night was low, and the lead clouds in the dark night were low and obscured the starlight and moonlight in the sky. Several large lights flickered on the dim ground, and a cold wind with a biting chill blew quietly inadvertently.
"Agent Thomas." Standing beside the box with his head down, Thomas covered his forehead with one hand suddenly heard a voice that was so cold that it was like a machine, and hurriedly turned to look over. A tall man wearing a dark trench coat and a hat with a cocked collar that almost obscured his entire face appeared behind him at some unknown moment. Glancing at the busy crowd not far away, Thomas frowned vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm a corpse collector." The man had his head bowed, his wide hat and cocked collar obscuring his face from being completely visible.
"The corpse officer?" Thomas's brows tightened, and his heart was terrified, "How can there be a corpse collector here?" ”
"Don't care who I am." The man slowly raised his head to reveal his face, which was a typical black face. The only thing that was different was that almost all of those eyes were white!
"Let your men go near that waterhole in the northwest corner, the person you're looking for is over there." The man's words made Thomas unable to be quiet any longer, and suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the man, "Who are you?!" ”
The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white jade-like teeth. Slowly lowered his head, hiding his face in the shadows again. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the fierce wind forced Thomas to close his eyes and take shelter. By the time he opened his eyes again, the strange man was gone!
"The waterhole in the northwest corner?" Hurriedly called people to search around, but found no trace of the strange man, and even was questioned by his subordinates, Thomas, who was starting to become a little nervous, had to seriously consider what the mysterious man said.
In fact, for the entire day, the policemen and militia had the opportunity to catch the promised trails. It's just that without exception, those who found the trail of Promise were no longer able to speak at this time. After nightfall, Xu Promise quietly took Xu Xian to sneak into the northwest corner, which had been searched twice by the police.
The woods here are dense, with a large pool of water forming a semicircle. In the dark and silent night, the surface of the waterhole did not move, and there were not even insects and frogs around it.
"Something isn't right." Xu Yu tightened his grip and held Xu Xian's hand tightly, "Even if there have been human activities here before, how can such a large area here not be angry at all?" It's not winter, at least there must be bugs, right? ”
Xu Xian, who didn't understand anything, also sensed a hint of danger, and involuntarily hugged the promised arm. This time of getting along has already made her deeply dependent on the promise. In order to survive and follow the strong, this is the instinct of human beings that has evolved for millions of years. Because the strong are able to provide security.
Of course, Xu Promise wouldn't know what was here, and he wouldn't know that as time went by, the Grim Reaper had begun to do whatever it took to kill him, even at the expense of directly appearing to indicate where he was hiding at this time! (To be continued.) )
