Chapter 222: Paradise Lost
PS: Thank you to the people of Pudong, Shanghai, the hot snow and the monthly pass of volt002
Before Lu Wei replied, of course, the Dragon Organization couldn't sit and wait, but continued to investigate the previous clues. The information about Oz the Iceman that Chu Yunxuan found was handed over to other agents for investigation, and Chu Yunxuan's task was to investigate another area, located in the New Mexico Desert, a no-man's-land created by the former nuclear test institute of the United States, Area B16.
Of course, this investigation also used other tasks as a cover.
This no-man's land is rumored to be home to people who have been genetically mutated by nuclear tests, and it has become a nightmare for those who strayed into this area, where men are killed for food and women are used as tools for their procreation. Many tourists have gone missing here, but because of the secrecy of the U.S. nuclear tests, these incidents have never been made public.
There are even directors who specifically adapted this matter into a movie, further making people feel that this matter does not exist. But this time, thirteen tourists disappeared in the B16 area, so the government had to send troops to the rescue, but these sixteen soldiers quickly lost contact, and it has been twelve hours so far, so it was Chu Yunxuan's turn to dispatch.
Of course, this mission was just a pretense, and Chu Yunxuan's real purpose was to investigate the depths of Area B16. After all, the so-called nuclear test and no man's land may be just a cover, and perhaps the residence of a descendant of an ancestor is deep in the mountains.
"Good luck, sir." The American officer on the helicopter saluted Chu Yunxuan.
"Thank you." Chu Yunxuan said, grabbing his backpack and jumping off the helicopter. Slid down the cable to the ground, and the helicopter overhead slowly left, and the area was full of ore and sand, and the helicopter couldn't land in such an area.
After Chu Yunxuan landed, he patted the dust on his body and looked around. The scorching sun overhead made the surrounding stones crackle, and the rock structure looked loose, threatening to break or collapse at any time, and the mud beneath his feet had no moisture at all, and it was almost cracking. There are only a few dry dwarf shrubs around.
And in front of this area. It is a rocky mountain that spreads all the way. There are few iconic terrains, and it's easy to get lost in a place like this. Chu Yunxuan called up the electronic map of this area and checked it, planning to go to the place where the army disappeared first to find their traces, and then follow them.
Rumors. The people who live in the B16 area with genetic mutations are extremely ugly and hideous. Moreover, the strength, senses, and vitality are much stronger than ordinary people. In general, a genetic mutation is just a mutation in appearance. And this mutation, which enhances human physical strength, is so abnormal that it feels similar to the virus in their agents' bodies, which is why he was sent here to investigate.
"Huh?" Chu Yunxuan sensed that someone was observing him from afar. So he glanced at it, but found nothing, so he continued to rush towards the middle of the desert, where the rescue team had disappeared.
The weather is very hot, food and water are severely scarce, and it is difficult to get out of a place like this, even if there are no deformed people in the B16 area. Chu Yunxuan continued to move forward in the mountain path, but he could sense that a creature was approaching.
Chu Yunxuan just snorted and didn't react, just continued to stride forward.
Coldly, a huge black shadow flashed on the rock above him, and the pickaxe in his hand smashed down on him!
Chu Yunxuan quickly pounced forward, rolled up on the spot, and smashed his pickaxe into the place where he was standing just now, stirring up a piece of rubble. Chu Yunxuan fixed his eyes and saw that the facial features of the person in front of him were distorted, his nose and eyes didn't seem to grow in the right place, he looked extremely ugly, his skin was extremely rough, and there were ugly tumors the size of fists in some parts of his body.
The other party was more than two meters tall, unusually strong, and a smell of decay mixed with blood greeted him.
"This is a freak?" Chu Yunxuan frowned slightly and said, it is indeed almost the same as described in the movie. Seeing that the other party did not run away, but pulled up his pickaxe as if he was planning to fight, he suddenly sneered: "Do you think I'm just a person, so you plan to come hard?" Well, we'll see. ”
The deformed man grinned, the teeth in his mouth were uneven, and then he roared, brandishing his pickaxe and smashing it down at Chu Yunxuan. Chu Yunxuan dodged sideways, raised his foot and stepped on the handle of the pickaxe after the pickaxe hit the ground, and stepped on the arm of the deformed man holding the pickaxe head with the other foot. The deformed man was immediately weighed down by his weight and fell to his knees.
Chu Yunxuan pressed the back of the deformed man's head with both hands, and his knees slammed heavily on his chin.
It felt as if it had hit a sandbag full of sand, it was hard and heavy, and Chu Yunxuan's knees were shaken to a burst of pain. The deformed man was also spurted blood from his mouth and nose, took a step back, and fell on all fours.
"Physically, it's about the same as our agents,......" Chu Yunxuan frowned and said to himself, it may not be easy for ordinary people to deal with, but for Chu Yunxuan, he may be even better physically.
The other party was already groggy after taking this blow, lying on the ground humming and unable to get up, Chu Yunxuan took out the gun from his arms, aimed it at the forehead of this guy and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The deformed man's body shuddered for a moment, then fell silent. Chu Yunxuan squatted down beside him and carefully observed his body, looking for clues.
"It doesn't look like there are any traces ......of surgery or injections on the outside," Chu Yunxuan frowned and said to himself, "Is it really just a genetic mutation after being exposed to nuclear radiation?" Is the increase in fitness just a coincidence in a mutation? ”
As he spoke, Chu Yunxuan stood up and looked around, and continued to move towards the depths of the desert.
At this moment, eight people sat in a circle around a bonfire in the deep mountains, six soldiers were dressed, and one man and one woman were dressed in civilian clothes, who seemed to be just civilians. Most of them were covered in blood, and their expressions were haggard, frightened, and hopeless.
"What are we going to do? We're all going to die...... "One of the female soldiers asked, sobbing.
"The only way out is to go out of there." A black soldier pointed to the dark depths of the mine and said, "Do you want to go out of there?" It's their lair. I'd rather starve and die of thirst here than go in! ”
"Horizontal and vertical is a death, I'm going to go in and try it...... Wait until dawn and set off. Another white male soldier said coldly, setting up the gun in his hand, "I have guys, I'm not afraid of them." ”
"Really? Your brothers have guys, but what? You saw that dismembered guy too, right? Do you want to turn into jerky in their warehouse!? The male tourist yelled hysterically.
"I can feel it...... They're all around us, it's a question of whether we can survive tonight, and we're going to have to wait until dawn to make a noise. The female tourist cried, "They must be around...... It's just that we can't see it. ”
At this moment, a commotion rang out from the darkness. Accompanied by angry roars and fighting sounds. The group of people suddenly stood up from the campfire like frightened birds, and several soldiers grabbed their guns and aimed them at the darkness, but they did not dare to shoot at will. They shouted angrily: "Who is there!? "Get the hell out of here. You coward! ”
The fighting became more and more intense. Frightened, the female tourist crouched on the ground with her head in her arms and screamed.
"Poof!" Two crisp gunshots rang out, followed by a dragon groan, and the sound of flesh crashing. A large black shadow flew out of the darkness and landed on the edge of the campfire. A deformed man who was over two meters tall and covered in pebble-like tumors, with bullet holes in his head dripping with blood.
"Put down your gun, GI...... You could get one of your companions shot. A cold voice sounded, and then Chu Yunxuan's slender figure walked out of the darkness, holding a pitch-black automatic pistol in his hand.
But at this moment, everyone was still in a state of fright, and the black soldier looked at the corpse under his feet, raised his gun and shouted at Chu Yunxuan, "Who the are you!?" If you don't explain it clearly, I'll kill you now! ”
Chu Yunxuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly grabbed the muzzle of the M4 rifle in his hand like lightning and pushed it away, and punched him in the chest with his right hand. The black man let go of the gun in pain, and Chu Yunxuan grabbed the gun with both hands, brandished the butt of the gun and hit him on the forehead.
This blow was not very heavy, and the other party just sat down on the ground with a butt and was not injured. The surrounding soldiers immediately planned to raise their guns, but Chu Yunxuan's M4 pistol in one hand had already been aimed at them first, so they had to stand still.
"Calm down, if you have long eyes, you will find that I am wearing a suit, and I am obviously from the civilized world." Chu Yunxuan said lightly, threw the gun in his hand at the black man on the ground, and the other party reached out to catch it.
"Who the hell are you?" The black man rubbed his forehead and asked with some dissatisfaction.
Chu Yunxuan immediately introduced himself: "Dragon Organization agent, wolf fighter." Ordered by the U.S. military to come to the rescue, this is a classified operation, there is no military authorization, but I will take you out of here. ”
As he spoke, Chu Yunxuan threw the backpack he was holding on his shoulders to the ground: "Here is food and water." ”
"You're alone?" The female tourist asked with some disappointment as she went to get water.
Chu Yunxuan teased lightly: "Obviously, they can't just send half of me, so that's right, I have to come alone." The implication is that he alone is more than enough to deal with the current situation.
Everyone regained their spirits after replenishing their water, so they began to ask questions.
"One question at a time, one by one, OK?" Chu Yunxuan interrupted them, then pointed to the blonde beauty soldier on the far left and said, "Start with you, from left to right." ”
"How did you find us?" The female soldier immediately asked, and Chu Yunxuan shrugged her shoulders: "I went to the location provided by the military that lost contact with you, and looked for some traces left by you." For example, footprints, bloodstains, fragments of clothing, bullet marks, etc., have been tracked all the way here. Next. ”
"Why is this operation a confidential operation!?" The black soldier asked angrily, "And instead of sending American troops, I sent an agent like you?!" We have human rights! ”
"Obviously, Area B16 is a state military secret, and it would be detrimental to the face of the United States to say this kind of thing." Chu Yunxuan said lightly, "Most politicians agree to let you die directly in this is also considered murder, but fortunately, someone wants to use you as a political bargaining chip, so they sent me over to rescue you, and you should be glad about this." ”
"Oh my God, man...... How did you kill this guy? A white soldier looked at the behemoth corpse around the campfire and exclaimed, "We fired more than a dozen shots at one of the guys and smashed his head with a pickaxe." Even took out part of his brain, and he's still alive! And you, you actually ...... with two shots and one kick."
"Huaxia Kung Fu?" An Asian female soldier on the side gestured twice and asked with a smile.
"Shoot at their nerve center area." Chu Yunxuan replied lightly, and then added, "Of course, you can also think that I am the reincarnation of Rambo, in short, I am trained to deal with similar situations." No problem? Then it's my turn. Are you the last few to survive? Everyone else is dead? ”
The female tourist nodded, "Our companions should all be dead, we saw their stumps and heads intermittently......"
"What about women? Females are usually imprisoned and used to reproduce. Chu Yunxuan then asked.
"There were four women in us. But two of them were already ...... on the run The other two were captured by them. Now life and death are unknown, and my girlfriend is in it! The male tourist eagerly asked, "You're going to save her, right!?" ”
"It depends." Chu Yunxuan replied lightly, and the blonde beauty soldier replied. "One of our female soldiers was captured. The others are all male. Most of them have been confirmed dead......"
"Yes, that's three women in captivity." Chu Yunxuan nodded and said, "Let's go." Let's go. ”
The black soldier asked incredulously, "Go?" Where to? Right now? ”
"The sooner you set off in the mountains, the more likely the hostages are to survive." Chu Yunxuan said lightly, "Anyway, in the interior of the mountain, there is not much difference between day and night, let's go." Those who don't want to leave can stay here, and we will call in a helicopter to come to the rescue when we get out. Due to the topography and equipment in this area, the signal cannot be transmitted. ”
"No, I don't want to stay here and wait for those guys to come to the door." The blonde soldier immediately vetoed, grabbed his gun and said, "I'm going with you." ”
"Me too." "Me too......" The others quickly chimed in.
The answer seems obvious: whether to follow someone who can kill a troll with a small pistol, or to stay alone by the campfire and wait for the deformed to come to the door. So no one chose to stay around the campfire and wait for help.
However, not everyone thought it was safe to stay by Chu Yunxuan's side.
"It's pitch black in the cave, you can't protect yourself, how can you protect us? Those guys aren't stupid, on the contrary, they are cunning, how are you going to deal with so many deformed people alone? The black soldier asked.
"With fists, kicks and guns?" Chu Yunxuan replied lightly, at this time, they had already come to the entrance of the mine.
The cave looks unusually old, the support frame in the mine is badly decayed, the interior is in danger of collapsing at any moment, and it is pitch black without any lighting equipment. But Chu Yunxuan didn't mean to stop, he just walked straight into the darkness: "If you want to follow me, follow me, don't stay too far, otherwise I won't be able to save you." ”
"He must be crazy......" A tall white soldier shook his head and sighed, following behind Chu Yunxuan.
"Then we'll have to take care of his back." The blonde woman said, following behind with her gun in hand.
The road inside the cave was also quite difficult to find, and after walking for a while, the collapsed stones and wooden frames in front of it blocked it.
"This way." Chu Yunxuan waved his hand and motioned for them to look to the side. The basket under the wall on the side was removed, and there was a tunnel behind it, large enough for two adults to lie side by side.
"From here, this seems to be their usual passage. I'll ...... first," Chu Yunxuan said, suddenly narrowing his eyes and pausing as he looked at the darkness of the passage behind him. The Asian female soldier behind him looked back and asked, "What?" ”
Chu Yunxuan didn't answer, but just raised his gun and pointed it at the darkness behind him, and cautiously poked over.
"What did you find? Are they those monsters? The blonde female soldier asked behind Chu Yunxuan.
Chu Yunxuan took a few more steps, and then suddenly a roar sounded, startling everyone at the scene, and then a behemoth rushed out of the darkness, crashed straight into Chu Yunxuan's body, and retreated with him.
"Hmph......" Chu Yunxuan snorted coldly, steadied his horse's steps, exerted his strength on his legs and waist, and forcibly stopped the person in his arms, and then leaned back slightly, and his knee was raised to hit the deformed man's chin in front of him, knocking him back a step, lowering his body and slamming his chest with a slap. This behemoth roared angrily, and was actually beaten backwards and flew out!
After a bang. The big man immediately got up from the ground and fled into the darkness.
"No, stop chasing." Chu Yunxuan stopped the black soldier who was about to catch up and shoot the deformed man, "Don't separate, you don't know as much about this place as they do about it, we just need to find a way to get out." ”
Saying that, Chu Yunxuan motioned for them to go down from the passage: "The strong men will go down first to take care of them, and then the ladies, I will be in charge of the rear of the palace, so as not to let those guys suddenly sneak attack from the rear." ”
One by one, the crowd slid down the pipe. So I came to the next layer of the mine. Of course, Chu Yunxuan still remembered that his mission was mainly to investigate whether this B16 area was or used to be the residential area of the descendants of the clan. As a result, they were still looking around for possible secret passages along the way, when a scream rang out from the depths of the mine.
"It's Rebecca!" The blonde beauty said to her fellow soldiers, "She's alive!" ”
"Looks like it's in that direction." Chu Yunxuan pointed to the passage on the left side and gestured, then raised his hand and waved it to the person behind him and said, "Follow close." Don't make a sound. Even if you spot an enemy, don't shoot casually. ”
"For what?" The white soldier asked, dissatisfied. "Can't we even protect ourselves?"
"Because your guns don't have silencers...... Chu Yunxuan whispered. Leaned in the direction where the screams were coming from.
After advancing some distance, a low roar and painful groans sounded from the dilapidated wooden door in front of him, and Chu Yunxuan raised his gun and cautiously poked over. Lift your foot and kick it on the door.
Inside the door, a goblin-looking man was pressing on a skinny white girl, his expression looking pleasant, saliva sagging all over his forehead. Seeing Chu Yunxuan kick open the door, he suddenly let out an angry roar. Chu Yunxuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sorry to interrupt?" ”
But the other party didn't care about this apology, lifted his pants and grabbed the huge blunt axe leaning on the table, and slashed at Chu Yunxuan's head. Chu Yunxuan snorted, his right hand turned into a palm and slashed, the handle of the axe was suddenly broken by him, the axe blade spun and flew out, nailed to the wooden door behind him, and then Chu Yunxuan turned around and swept the big man's face with a whip leg.
"Unfortunately, I'm not one of those amateurs." Chu Yunxuan said lightly, watching the strong man get up from the ground, the soldiers and two tourists behind him immediately rushed over and rescued the woman named Rebecca on the table.
The girl's face was pale, affectionate and numb, and she seemed to be about to lose consciousness.
"What about the other girls? Where are they? The tourist excitedly asked, "Did you see them!?" ”
The girl could barely reach out and point to the door behind the strong man, and then fell into the arms of the white soldier.
"Ah——!h The big man roared angrily, and strode towards Chu Yunxuan's side with a fierce momentum.
The soldiers and tourists behind Chu Yunxuan involuntarily took a few steps back, but Chu Yunxuan had a relaxed expression on his face, and hooked his finger to the big man to provoke. The big man roared and punched. Chu Yunxuan blocked it with one hand, and hit him with his chin with his right hand, hitting him backwards, and then quickly walked around behind the big man, wrapped his left hand around his neck, raised his foot and kicked him to his knees behind his knees, and locked the big man's neck with both hands and lifted it up!
This series of movements is done in one go, and it is extremely smooth, and you can only hear "Gurrah!" A sound of broken bones sounded, and the big man fell limply in Chu Yunxuan's arms, and he didn't react. The whole battle was only five seconds, and there was no way to fight back!
Chu Yunxuan immediately said to the stunned soldiers behind him, "Let me check this girl's situation first." ”
"Oh God, I don't know which monster is yours or him......" the black soldier muttered to himself.
"Whichever monster is it, I'm going to follow this gentleman, at least he shouldn't be as rude as that guy when he rapes me, I don't want to be like that poor girl." The blonde female soldier pointed to Rebecca behind her and said, following behind Chu Yunxuan. The female tourist also hurriedly followed, echoing: "Me too." ”
"We need to hurry, the girl seems to be showing symptoms of internal bleeding." Chu Yunxuan frowned and said, took out a needle from his arms and stabbed it in the girl's neck, and in an instant, a trace of blood returned to the girl's face. Chu Yunxuan explained: "This medicine has analgesic and physical recovery effects, try to hold on for a while." (To be continued......)
