Chapter 13: The Mist Forest

Farm, warehouse area. Anjie came here with Bruce, swept it casually, and then lifted a white cloth, revealing what was underneath.

Bruce couldn't figure out how many times he had been shocked today, but he was still surprised to see what was under the white cloth.

"Before digging up the grave, I called the captain and asked him if he had any bodies missing recently, and guess what he did to answer me?"

An Jie sneered: "He said that many cemeteries in Bokusel City have had incidents of mysterious disappearance of corpses, and the officials of the Consultative Council were afraid of causing panic, so they suppressed the matter. And those missing corpses ......"

She pointed to a pile of dead people under the white cloth and said, "Right in front of us." ”

"So, that old man is not innocent."

"But, second lieutenant, it's too ...... for you to kill people like that."

Bruce thought about it for a long time, but finally swallowed the words. He knew that Anjie had done the right thing, that the old man had become their enemy when he helped Frankenstein steal the body, whatever his reason......

"If it's an enemy, it should be destroyed."

An Jie stood on tiptoe and patted Bruce on the shoulder, and said: "Soldiers are just tools to kill people in wartime, don't think too much, it's purely to find guilt for yourself." ”

"Let's go, while I still have the spirit, go to that misty forest and have a look."

“…… Be. ”

The old man's death hit Bruce so hard that he looked sullen until he got in the car. An Jie didn't comfort him, after all, her own situation was not optimistic.

"Sergeant, don't forget to prepare for battle, you know what to do if I lose consciousness halfway."

Bruce, of course, knew, and before leaving, Admiral Lesa pointed to his heart and said to him: "If Scarlett is on the battlefield and reaches the limit of his mobility, you will be the one to defend the rest of the time, with your life." ”

His answer at the time was, "Yes." ”

"Hoo ......"

The sergeant sorted out his mood and turned on the engine to go to the misty forest that the old man had said, while An Jie took the opportunity to catch up on sleep.

The misty forest is just like the old man said, there is a faint layer of mist on the ground, and in the dark night, the mist reflecting the moonlight slightly illuminates the bare trees around it, and the atmosphere is quiet and eerie.

"Second Lieutenant, there's one thing I don't understand, why do you think Frankenstein's purpose is a corpse?"

Bruce said as he drove.

"Because the name Frankenstein was originally associated with a corpse."

"Huh?"

"Look at this."

An Jie directly threw the information in his hand over.

"Admiral Lesa has given us a record of her tenure, and what was the last experiment she was responsible for in 1651, when she left Grigory? Read it out. ”

Bruce took out a hand and flipped through the information, found the record An Jie said, and read word by word: "Corpse resurrection experiment ......"

He snorted.

"Now I understand why I decided that her target was corpses...... And why I got you ready for battle, right? ”

Bruce: "............ Well. ”

He was creepy at the thought in his heart, and An Jie, as if deliberately trying to aggravate the fear in his heart, chuckled and said, "Get out of the car, don't alarm those ...... Wandering undead. ”

The two parked outside the forest and entered the forest.

An Jie knocked on her temple and said in a low voice: "System, turn on the night vision mode." ”

Her left eye turned a fiery bronze color, and the world in her eyes turned from darkness to a miserable green. Scanning back and forth through the dark forest, Anjie tried to spot a clue to Fran from the image her eyes had passed to her.

"Hmm...... I can't see anything......"

After advancing for one or two hundred meters without finding anything, An Jie pinched her chin and thought for a while. Then he pulled out his own pistol.

"Bang!"

The loud thud of gunpowder pushing bullets resounded through the dark forest.

Startled, Bruce whispered, "Ensign! What do you want to do?! ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I've changed my mind again."

An Jie stared at their left front and smiled: "It's more convenient to let people lead the way than to find clues slowly." ”

"With ...... Lead the way? ”

"Well, lead the way, you see, didn't the guide show up?"

Bruce looked in the direction An Jie's finger, only to see a figure faintly emerging behind the mist.

"Let's go, Sergeant." An Jie was about to walk towards the figure after speaking, but she didn't take two steps before Bruce grabbed her by the collar.

"Ensign." Bruce hugged An Jie and said solemnly, "Let's take a detour!" ”

An Jie pursed her lips unhappily, but didn't say anything. Although she is not a good person, she knows how to take care of the mood of her subordinates.

So the two headed for the figure, but Bruce turned to the left as he approached, bypassing the looming figure and walking behind it.

On the rest of the road, Bruce saw four or five more figures in the distance. He had all walked around in the same way, and the figures seemed to have poor eyesight, and on several occasions the two of them had come close enough to see each other, but they still didn't respond.

Bruce's heart was occupied by fear, and he didn't feel anything wrong, but An Jie felt something abnormal.

A figure appeared in front of the two of them again. "Sergeant, lean in." An Jie said.

"Less...... Lieutenant?! ”

"Lean in! That's an order! ”

Bruce reluctantly approached the figure. As they drew closer to each other, the true face of the figure came into their eyes.

Bruce had a sense of being deceived.

"Isn't this just a statue?!"

An Jie was also surprised, "Well, it's a statue......"

The statue in the mouth of the two of them is about 1.7 meters tall, covered in gray-white cement, and the night is too dark to see their faces, and they seem to be naked.

“…… No, not a statue! ”

An Jie said suddenly, Bruce was stunned when he heard it, but before he could say anything, the cement statue in front of him suddenly fell to the ground.

An Jie stepped forward and used her magic power to shape an axe, which was aimed at the waist of the fallen statue.

"Poof!"

Fishy blood splashed her face.

"Ensign!"

Out of a sense of responsibility, Sergeant Bruce desperately resisted the fear in his heart, stepped forward and hugged Anjie, and led her away from the blood-spewing "statue"

"I'm fine." An Jie patted his arm and said, "It's just a corpse, a dead person, I'm fine." ”

That being said, Bruce was reluctant to let go. The moment the blood spurted out just now, he was really frightened.

"Alright, Sergeant. How long do you still want to eat my tofu? ”

Bruce subconsciously replied, "Ensign, where did you get the tofu to eat......

"How dare you say it, sergeant."

“………… Uh, sorry. ”

Bruce put Anjie down, and the Second Lieutenant trotted two steps to the statue again, shaping a hammer. The axe hammered down the cement on the statue.

It was a pale corpse, and looking at the brain that had rotted and had maggots, it was estimated that it had been dead for some time. What is particularly striking is that he has a huge hole in his head. An Jie compared, as big as her fist.

“emmmmm……”

An Jie groaned, thinking of the information about Professor Fran, and reached into the hole and activated the discharge technique.

"Zizi Zi ............"

The pale corpse suddenly opened its big mouth and roared, "Woo whoa, whoa, whoa!" ”

An Jie hurriedly pulled out her hand, and by the way, she also pulled out a dozen fat maggots.

The corpse, which had lost its power supply, cried out in vain, then lowered its arms and did not move at all.

"Originally, I just gave it a try, but I didn't expect it to really move." An Jie stretched her hand back and said, "Bruce, bring me a tissue." ”

After waiting for a long time without responding, she couldn't help but look back, only to find that her adjutant's face was blue and her lips were trembling.

“…… Freak out? ”

Bruce nodded.
