Chapter 199: Soul Extraction
Gran's sudden mutation caught everyone in the Garrison Department and the Archaeological Association off guard for a while, and they didn't expect that this old man, who could say that most of his body had been buried in the soil, could burst out with such a powerful force after the mutation.
"Minister, the target has lost his mind, there is no point in capturing him alive, please kill him on the spot!"
On the streets, driving power armor, the captain in charge of the battle command asked to abandon the capture.
In his judgment, it is clear that Gran has lost his mind now, and even if he is captured alive, it may be difficult to give more information.
What's more, not far from here is a densely populated commercial area, and I don't know how much damage and panic it will cause if a mutant monster is put in.
"I don't agree, haven't you noticed, after Grand's mutation, he didn't directly attack humans like the previous mutant monsters, but chose to get out of the encirclement and escape in a certain direction with an obvious purpose, in the state he was in when he talked to Newcastle just now, I suspect that Gran was attracted by some special existence to mutate, tracking him, maybe there will be new discoveries. ”
Virginia, who was still in the hospital, stared at Gran who didn't look back in the picture, and there was no point in killing him at this time, just adding another experiment to the epidemic prevention center.
It's better to let him act, maybe it can bring unexpected surprises.
"The Virginia chapter president is right, activate fuzzy tracking, and block out the monster's appearance first. ”
Bulvoo had already made up his mind to let Virginia, a professional, command, and if something really happened, she would be on top anyway.
As for the so-called "fuzzy tracking", it is actually two instructions.
Everyone knows that "fuzzy" is an intelligent camouflage system developed by local governments in order to deal with the monsters that suddenly appear in downtown areas from time to time.
To put it simply, it is to "code" the monster and change its appearance through holographic projection.
There is no way, there are too many passers-by in the downtown area, and no matter how powerful the government of Thousand Sails City is, it is impossible for these people to close their eyes immediately when they see monsters, so they have to start with monsters.
So when Grand's mutant monster rushed into the downtown area, passers-by saw a big-headed doll with a "danger" warning sign circulating around it rampaging through the street, followed by a whole team of garrison soldiers.
Just as Virginia guessed, Grand, who was in a state of mutation, neither turned back to fight back, nor did he mean to do anything to the passers-by who were watching the excitement around him, and even made Virginia start to speculate whether Grande still retains a certain amount of sanity, but his body has changed, but he has tried several times to communicate without success.
As Gran crossed more and more streets, he noticed that the number of passers-by and the combat troops of the garrison department also continued to increase, although the number of pedestrians on the commercial street was not large due to the snow and late night, but as a short video was uploaded, people from several surrounding streets began to gather in this direction.
Those who can come out at this time are naturally young people who are looking for excitement.
For them, it was just a farce to spice up their somewhat boring life, and some of the young people found that the "prisoner" seemed to only know how to escape, and was not satisfied with just looking at it from afar.
simply turn on the hoverboard, which is very similar to a surfboard or skateboard, and rise into the air in a deafening "bang~" and "bang~" sound.
Of course, the young people of this era are obviously more playful, and this is the No. 7 community where the children of rich families gather, and the scene that appeared soon made everyone in the security department on the other side of the surveillance a headache.
Wearing a set of fluorescent clothes, the hoverboard under the feet can change its shape at any time through holographic projection, some become a fairy-like broadsword, some become a winged dragon, and some strange ones simply turn into some shapes similar to monsters from the source of spiritual pollution.
After getting up, he had to do two tricks, dragging a long tail flame around the puppet's side.
As for the red danger sign on the outside of the puppet and the airboat of the Garrison Department that told them to evacuate immediately, it has become a background board for them to show their personality at this time, relying on their own connections, they are not afraid of the threat of the Garrison Department, and they are holding up their listening sticks one by one, adjusting the angle to shoot their "heroic moments".
And just when Bulvoo was determined to let the tracking troops drop tear gas to disperse these deadly creatures, Grand, who had been running wildly, suddenly stopped, stood in the middle of the street, and did not turn around, as if someone had pressed the pause button, and froze in place.
Brilliant neon light pierced through the wind and snow, resting on the mutant monster covered in mosaics, followed by the gazes of the surrounding crowd from all directions.
"This is the Thousand Sails City Garrison, everyone, leave the neighborhood where the criminal is located immediately, otherwise we will prosecute everyone at the scene for the crime of disrupting official duties, this is not a request, it is an order!"
The radio on the airship faithfully broadcast Bulvo's orders, but unfortunately there were still few responses.
The reason is simple.
In the wind and snow at the other end of the street, a group of ragged "refugees" suddenly appeared, attracting everyone's attention.
They appeared out of nowhere on the bustling street, hunched over and moving their feet, approaching Grand's position as if no one was around.
"Grand's is looking for them!"
Almost the first time she saw the "refugees", Virginia knew that this was Grant and what they were looking for, and as she looked at the scene, somehow something felt wrong.
Regardless of why these people appeared on the commercial street of the No. 7 community, Bulwer, who also sensed that something was wrong, was no longer prepared to wait, and immediately dispatched some people to check on the situation.
The heavily armed soldiers parachuted, the oppressive mechanical armor and the cold and murderous weapons everywhere made the troublesome youths around them finally know how to restrain and retreat to both sides of the road, and the former could no longer care about them at this time, and quickly moved closer to Grand.
"Reporting to the Minister, the target has no intention of resisting and appears to be dormant. ”
Approaching Grand's side, the latter never responded, still standing in the same place as before, the captain gestured, and immediately two soldiers stepped forward to set up the quarantine area, and then took the rest of the people and began to approach the group of people that appeared in front of him.
"This is the Thousand Sails City Garrison, immediately stop all your actions, and squat on the ground with your head in your hands...... Stop all action immediately, this is an ultimatum!"
According to the battle code, the soldier raised his gun and shouted to the crowd, but no matter how high his pitch was, the group in front of him still moved forward on their own.
"Prepare to tranquil the bullet and knock out the two first!"
Seeing that the words seemed to have no effect, the captain decisively ordered.
"Understood!"
Toggle gun mode, aim.
At the moment when he was about to pull the trigger, the wind and snow suddenly rushed and he lost the camera.
Wait until your eyes are refocused.
The target disappeared without a trace!
"What's going on?"
Rao was a battle-hardened captain, and he felt inexplicably confused after watching the group of people disappear into front of him out of thin air, not to mention the rest of the soldiers.
The crowd on the street was also in a commotion, and the exclamations were endless.
"Maybe it was just an image that the other party projected here through some kind of device?"
This seems to be the only reason that can explain the sudden disappearance of the target.
"Captain, behind you!"
Before the captain could think deeply, a soldier's report suddenly sounded in the communication channel, and everyone looked back, and the "refugees" who were still in front of them just now had already passed them and appeared near Grand......
"It's a projection, but what's the point?"
Being able to cross their defense line in an instant, even mutant monsters can't do it, it can only be a projection, and the captain turned on the helmet's own heat sensing mode and quickly confirmed this.
These refugees have no physical presence at all, let alone thermal feedback.
It's just a projection, so why waste time putting on this pose?
In the airboat not far away, Bulvoo also watched these people through surveillance, no matter how you look at it, this is just a group of skinny refugees, but it is precisely because of this that their appearance is even more strange.
"Something is wrong, everyone pay attention to their surroundings, investigators, detect if there is a source of mental contamination around. ”
Virginia stared at the scene on the video, and her instincts told her that it wasn't that simple.
As soon as the words fell, a new situation appeared on the street.
In front of more than a dozen soldiers of the garrison, the group of "refugees" stopped at Grant's side for only a few seconds, and then another human form of Grant appeared, hanging his head, and walked into the group of refugees.
The nearby soldiers widened their eyes, rushed forward a few steps, passed directly through these refugees, raised their hands to grab Gran, and pounced, and the mutant monster that had been stunned in place collapsed to the ground as if it had been drained when Gran appeared.
"This ...... Stop them. ”
The unreasonable phenomenon made the captain of the combat team not know what to do for a while, so he had to order to stop these people.
But even if the soldiers were to put their guns and pestles in the faces of these people, they could only penetrate them, and there was no obstacle to their movements.
It's like the scattered snowflakes around you, which will eventually turn into a puddle of snow and disappear.
Everyone could only watch as the "refugees" carried Gran in the direction they had just appeared, and as they moved again, the soldiers subconsciously followed quickly, and the surveillance suspended in mid-air also kept moving.
Until they came to the area where the "refugees" were first revealed.
Virginia in the hospital stared at the scene in the video, and at one point, a cold chill swept over her body.
She finally realized what was making her feel wrong.
Where these "refugees" appeared.
It's clearly the intersection at one end of this commercial street!
"Get out of there!"
A low shout rang out in the communication channel.
Before the soldiers could react.
In a trance, in the center of the crossroads, a blue-gray craggy bone tree suddenly appeared, and its hideous branches pierced the wind and snow, attacking the soldiers
Not far in front of them, the seemingly skeletal refugees twisted their bodies as if they had been stimulated by something, and a dozen terrifying shadows flashed on the street under the light of neon lights.
Gunfire, explosions, and screams filled the neighborhood at one time!
