Five hours later, the Osprey helicopter carrying Team X slowly landed on a makeshift tarmac in the no-go zone.

Shore jumped out of the plane and the rest of the team rushed out of the cabin, greeted by a liaison officer from the intelligence services who claimed to be Thomas Wayne.

"You are very welcome. Thomas greeted them politely, "We've been waiting for a long time. If I'm right, this is Captain Shore. He held out a hand to Nashore, who was at the front of the line. Shore looked at the long, white hand, as if it would deform with a slight pinch, but he still took Thomas's outstretched hand in return.

"According to the order of Commander Rajer, from now on, our X. Squad leader will carry out intelligence gathering work. Shore walked towards the ruins of the church. "I hope you will cooperate with us so that we can all get along well. ”

"That's nature, Captain Shore, please come with me this way. Thomas nodded as he pointed out the way to Shore.

Ye Xiang, who was walking next to Xiao Er, whispered in his ear: "This person looks like a guy who will become inflammatory, it seems that there are some bureaucrats in the intelligence agency who eat white rice, no wonder their work has not made any progress at all." ”

Shore squeezed his hand in agreement, but he couldn't show a strong disgust, as that would likely cause their cooperation to break down.

"We're here, Mr. Captain. Thomas stopped and turned to him.

Shore suddenly realized that he had arrived. "Is this St. Peter's Basilica?" he looked around in disbelief.

He had been to St. Peter's Basilica for some mission, but it was a huge and magnificent building. Now beneath his feet may be the marble floor of what was once a cathedral, but everything is gone: the imposing statues, the towering stone columns, and the golden walls. Today, St. Peter's Basilica is all that remains of the ground under their feet, and the part that once belonged to the building is reduced to rubble and dust.

"It seems that the information is correct, St. Peter's Basilica has indeed been completely destroyed. Ye Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the ruins that were now miserable and said.

"Are there any survivors?" Shore asked, staring at the ruins for a moment. "Are there any survivors here?"

Thomas hurriedly replied, "Ah, yes, we found a survivor. But...... Belch...... He's in a very bad shape, so I wonder if we should finish our work before visiting him. ”

Shore almost wanted to slap the man in front of him right now, "What are you talking about? Didn't you start gathering information from eyewitnesses? He's the only living witness at the scene, and he knows a lot more than you guys standing stupidly here." I don't understand how the hell you can work in the intelligence department!" he almost snarled at Thomas.

"Yes, yes. This is indeed our negligence. Thomas nodded repeatedly.

"I don't like that guy at all, and if the captain allows me to beat him up right now, I'll be happy to do it. Nicholas whispered at the back of the line.

"It seems that we are thinking the same thing, and I want to go out and beat him up now. Raven grinned beside him.

Bolton was silent, staring coldly at the furious captain, while Chikusa Wakaba and Rex shook their heads and smiled bitterly together, as if Thomas was performing an absurd farce in front of them.

"Alright, Shore. We should go and meet the survivor now. Ye wanted to remind him next to him. "Don't forget what we're here for, we're not here to sulk with these guys. ”

Shore barely calmed his anger and shouted at Thomas, "There's nothing to do with you here." Now that we're going to take over the work of interrogating survivors, you can go somewhere else to get busy. ”

Thomas resignedly stepped back, and the members of Team X. gave him a relentless and merciless look: like their captain, they clearly didn't like this flattering guy either.

Shore drove Thomas away like a fly, and he then issued an order to his teammates: "Ye Xiang, Nicholas, you and I will go to the infirmary to ask about the survivors. The rest of you are going to keep a close eye on every move of everyone here except you, do you understand?"

"Understood, Captain!" the team replied in unison.

Shore waved Ye Xiang and Nicholas to move forward with him, and they soon came to the makeshift medical room on the north side of the cathedral.

Shore, who was at the head of the line, lifted the door with his hand, and the smell of alcohol was so thick that the three people who entered the room could barely open their eyes. It was only after the air had cleared for a while that the smell slowly dissipated, and they were able to see the survivor lying on the bed and the doctor sitting on the chair next to the bed.

"I guess we shouldn't have bothered you with your work, doctor. Ye imagined a doctor wearing a mask and said hello.

The doctor did not answer him, but stood up from his chair with stiff movements. The three of them looked at each other suspiciously, and after a while, the tall Nicholas walked over to the survivor's bed.

'He does look badly injured, captain. Nicholas lifted the quilt and took a look at the general condition of the wounded, turning to Shore and said. "If my cursory observation is correct, his bones all over his body must have been shattered, which is clearly caused by the tremendous force of the impact, and it seems that he has a very serious visceral injury with internal bleeding. ”

"I didn't expect you to know medicine, I really didn't see it. Shore said jokingly looking at Nicholas, who was all over the place

Nicholas bared two rows of white teeth and replied with a smile, "When I wasn't the vice-captain of the Storm Force before, I served as a medic in the Arctic Division. But I only worked for a while, and then I found that it was better for me to fight and kill, maybe just like the old saying goes, the fate of a warrior is on the battlefield after all. ”

After saying that, both of them laughed, but Ye Xiang, who was standing next to Xiao Er, was motionless and vigilant staring at the doctor standing by the bed. "Doctor, although our team members have roughly judged the condition of the injured. But we still hope that the professionals can give us some good advice. His sharp gaze stared like a falcon at the doctor's masked face.

The doctor, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "We already know the condition of the injured person very well, the condition of the injured person is as your team member said, and his bones are indeed all shattered. I admire him for being able to see such symptoms at a glance. ”

He then glanced at the three of them with the only two eyes on his face, a chilling look. "But it's not enough to just look at it, something can blind you from the surface, don't you? ”

"Stop beating!" exclaimed Nicholas, wide-eyed. "Well, doesn't that mean he's dead? But Thomas clearly said that the wounded should still be alive, and that he could be questioned...... Why don't you, as a doctor—"

Before he could finish his words, the doctor's hand grabbed his shoulder tightly like pliers, and with just a slight force, he threw Nicholas out of the whole person, and the huge force knocked through a large hole in the wall of the house made of steel plates, and the knocked Nicholas was lying on the rubble ground dozens of meters away from the outside of the room with a painful face clutching his broken shoulder cape.

Before Shore could exclaim, the doctor pulled out the scalpel that had been prepared in his sleeve and stabbed it into Shore's heart at a speed far beyond that of a human, and the whole action was completed almost at the same time, making it impossible to guard against it.

"Bell!" rang out with the sound of metal clashing violently. Ye Xiang, who had long noticed the doctor's abnormal behavior, pulled out the Tang knife behind his back to block the fatal blow launched against Xiao Er, and the scalpel was instantly broken in two, and one of the fragments almost slashed against Xiao Er's neck, and then stabbed into the steel wall next to him.

"I didn't expect my instincts to be right, you're really not a good person. No, I guess you're not a 'human' at all. Ye Xiang looked coldly at the "doctor" holding the broken knife in front of him, "Your clumsy trick has been played, now show your true face, demon!"
