Chapter 550: I Refuse
Except for the initial warning, neither the people on the helicopter nor the guys in chemical protective suits had any communication with Li Ang and the others.
They took the monster's corpse and left on a plane.
All traces of the monster's presence were swept away, as if it had never appeared.
Whether it's a monster or a helicopter, after all, it's been there.
Especially the helicopter, its appearance once again proved Ang Lee's guess that Xiao Qiaozhi's transformation into a monster was operated by the military behind his back.
Including this changed flavor of the Golden Target Competition, it is just a test of the monster's combat effectiveness.
That seems to be the end of the matter.
Except for Ang Lee and the people who died at the hands of the monster, the other participants did not know that the monster had appeared, and the golden target continued.
When the sun rises, it means that the Golden Target competition is over.
A total of 123 people were killed and 87 injured in this gold target competition, and less than 100 people were intact.
Of the one hundred and twenty-three people who died, more than eighty were killed by Xiao Qiao Zhi, who turned into a monster.
Because he picked up a lot of cards behind the monster's butt, plus the cards he won later, the "precision shooting" represented by Slater undoubtedly won the title of Golden Target Champion.
John's shooting range was the runner-up.
Neither John nor Ang Lee cared about the outcome of the Golden Target, they only cared about one thing...... Little Qiaozhi (monster).
They are the ones who have seen monsters alive among all the contestants, and the monsters are even more dead at the hands of three people, and the military will let them go so easily.
Really.
After the results of the game were announced, everyone else was sent away, but Ang Lee, John, and Slater were left behind.
"Please come with me."
The lieutenant colonel, who had announced the rules of the game, preached to the trio.
The three were taken into a military vehicle and stopped in a valley after walking a few kilometers.
The valley looks more like a makeshift military base.
The lieutenant colonel led the three to a giant tent, where they once again saw Xiao Qiaozhi sealed in a transparent coffin.
Some people in white coats, masks, hats, and gloves are surrounding the transparent coffin to perform various data checks.
In addition to these people, Ang Lee also met an acquaintance.
Checkmate.
It's the general who basically controls the underground black market in Los Angeles.
General is his nickname, and it is also his rank in the army.
The lieutenant colonel brought the three men to the general, gave a military salute, and then stepped aside and said no more.
The general glanced at the three of them and asked, "You've all seen each other." ”
This is not a question, but an affirmative.
Li An and the three of them knew in their hearts that the general was referring to Xiao Qiaozhi.
The trio did not speak until they had figured out the general's intentions.
The general didn't seem to want the answer of the three people, but just glanced at the transparent coffin surrounded by a white coat, and then his eyes fell on the three again.
"That's the God of War.
A failed god of war, to be precise.
This is a military project that I am responsible for, a plan that can turn ordinary soldiers into gods of war. ”
Ares Project.
The creation of Captain America and the emergence of the Hulk should be similar plans.
From ancient times to the present, some crazy people have not stopped this kind of plan, wanting ordinary people to become superhuman-like warriors.
Just think about it.
Even on the modern battlefield, if a nation's soldiers are as strong as supermen, then it is definitely not a dream for them to occupy the entire planet.
The three of them hadn't spoken yet, they were waiting for the general to tell his true purpose.
"I would like to invite the three of you to join the God of War Project." The general preached.
Li An and the three of them each frowned.
Maybe they all want to be strong like Superman in their hearts, but no one wants to become a monster like Xiao Qiaozhi.
"Don't worry, I won't force you if you don't agree.
Besides, even if you join the God of War Project, I won't turn you into a God of War.
Soon you showed superhuman combat power and invited you to join, just to ask you to help me complete the God of War test. ”
Just to help complete the God of War test.
It sounds very simple, but when you think about it, it's a game of death.
Just think about how terrifying it is for Xiao Qiaozhi to transform into a monster, and if he is not careful, he will die at the hands of monsters.
The general gave the three of them a few minutes to think.
The first to make the decision was Slater.
"Smack."
Slater saluted and said, "Report to the general, I have served my country and left the best years of my life in the army.
Now that I have a new life, I want to return to it. ”
The general nodded, as if accepting Slater's decision.
John took a step forward, took a deep breath and said, "I'm willing to join." ”
Li An was secretly shocked, stared at John's back, and shouted in his heart: "Hey, are you crazy?" ”
When Ang Lee noticed that John's gaze stayed on Xiao Qiaozhi's corpse when he spoke, he understood the reason.
Little Qiao Zhi was John's playmate who grew up, but he turned into a monster because of his crazy God of War plan, and was finally shot by himself.
John wasn't blaming himself, he was blaming the general and the damn god of war plan.
He wanted to join this plan, not to help complete the God of War project, but to find an opportunity to destroy it.
The general smiled and nodded.
Ang Lee was sure that the general must have seen John's true purpose, but he didn't care at all.
The general's gaze fell on Ang Lee.
Li An was a little worried about John's safety, but he still shook his head and said, "I refuse." ”
"It's okay, my men will send you away." The general waved his hand at the lieutenant colonel as he spoke.
"Here, please." The lieutenant colonel spoke to the two very politely.
Ang Lee and Slater get into a military vehicle and are escorted directly back to the hotel by the lieutenant colonel.
The delay in the temporary base was not long, and coupled with the speed of the military vehicles on the road, they basically arrived at the hotel at the same time as the Golden Target contestants who left first.
Rose had already received the news that "Precision Shooting" had won the championship and seemed very excited, and personally greeted the two at the hotel gate.
Although it was strange that the two came back from the military, Rose didn't think about it that much.
The lieutenant colonel greeted the two and drove away, and the matter about the God of War plan seemed to be over.
Ang Lee and Slater knew in their hearts that the matter was far from over.
They know too much, and the general will never let them go.
Before Rose could speak, Slater grabbed her arm and walked into the hotel, whispering, "We need to get out of here now, and we can't go through the front door, we have to leave through the back door." ”
"Is something wrong?" Rose asked in alarm.
