Chapter 141: Hostages

This discovery made his impression of these people change a little. There is no doubt that these three were members of the "Fir and Eagle" mercenary group. After seeing the battlefield after the battle between the two sides, he always felt that these people could be brutal and bloodthirsty, which is why they caused that kind of tragic scene. But judging by the performance of these three people alone, they seem to be no different from ordinary humans.

At least for now, he was left in the back seat, leaning against the car door and hanging his head, unfazed.

What is the origin of the mercenary organization that is at the same time hostile to the Gate of Truth and the secession military? This is not a wise move by any means, and the most important thing is that the three people who captured him are fluent in Chinese, and even have some northern accents. If you are a citizen of the empire who was born and raised in your native land, why should you linger in this frozen land? It is much easier to go south than north.

After the third man spoke, the other two fell silent. This silence lasted for about ten minutes, until the body shook slightly and slowed down.

The man who captured him grabbed the gun in his hand, made a slight noise, and whispered, "Helicopter." ”

The roar of the helicopter came from the north, and it was not long before it moved above the off-road vehicle. The third person said in a voice that was difficult to distinguish the color of emotion: "Take a look." ”

The decision seemed to be wise, and a few dozen seconds later a shout came from the sky. The plane, which appears to be affiliated with the local military, asked the SUV to stop for inspection.

Li Zhen squinted his eyes and looked out through the car window.

They are now on a road flanked by vast snowfields. But the snowfields are not as inhospitable as they once were. Moving people and vehicles can be faintly seen. Their position is a bit off, and they can be regarded as "isolated". From his vantage point, he could see what the helicopter in mid-air looked likeβ€”not a gunship, but a civilian aircraft. It's just that the weapon system is suspended on the outside, and the fuselage is sprayed with camouflage.

The off-road vehicle slowed down and did not stop. There was silence in the carriage for a few seconds, and then the electronic voice sounded: "Cover your face." ”

He wasn't referring to something like a hat, but something like applying concealer to his face. Li Zhen has seen this thing in Wanzhou, and it can be the same as ordinary people at a rough glance. Considering the expressions and tones of these people, who are far more vivid than the xenomorphs, they probably do become ordinary people.

They apparently do this a lot, get their faces in a matter of seconds, and then stop their cars.

Two soldiers could be seen hanging down from the plane outside the frosty car window. He stepped closer to the window.

It was at this time. Li Zhen opened his eyes.

The man next to him apparently didn't expect the anesthetic effect to wear off so quickly, and there was a brief period of sluggishness. His next reaction reached out to press Li Zhen's head, and at this moment Li Zhen saw the appearance of the third person clearly.

The man looked like a "Frankenstein". Most of his face is obscured by flesh-colored special plastic, and in his left eye socket is a prosthetic eye. There is an off-white metal device in the place of the throat. The wires are buried all the way below the skin. This man has undoubtedly been battered in the past. As a result, half of the face is unrecognizable. Even the ability to speak is almost lost. It's hard to imagine how much pain I have endured to survive the way I am now.

This man met Li Zhen's gaze. And he saw a rather calm expression, not at all like a captive who had just woken up from a coma. So after less than a second of hesitation. He glanced at the man beside Li Zhen.

It was at this time that the two soldiers outside the window of the car picked up the assault rifles in their hands, pointed directly at a man and a woman in the front row, and then turned their eyes to Li Zhen: "What's the matter?!" ”

The sudden tension was probably due to Li Zhen's clothes. His coat is a military overcoat, and inside is a combat uniform. This combat suit for the northern winter was warm and easy to move, and had a large number of pockets to carry many small parts, which he had bought at a high price from the market in the previous residential area.

Now he looked like a northern soldier, with the dead branches and leaves on his cheeks from the fall, and his posture was lying on his side in the back seat, looking a little embarrassed.

A Slavic soldier questioned him with his eyes. The man beside him had gritted his teeth and gripped the gun in his hand.

Ten minutes away by car, stumps have just been found everywhere, and now there is a guy suspected of being a northern soldier in these two off-road vehicles, and even the person with the most nerves has to be vigilant.

After two seconds of almost frozen air, Li Zhen asked blankly, "Have you arrived?" ”

As a result, everyone's expressions became dazed.

Then he seemed to see the muzzle of the black hole poking in through the car window, sat up straight and wiped his face, and exclaimed, "What's wrong!?" ”

The masked man is the first to return to normal. He raised his hand in fear, and coughed weakly twice, "...... What's wrong? ”

The two soldiers hesitated for a moment, then lowered their guns slightly and looked at the four people in the car. The gun in the man's hand was in their sight, but a gun in the here and now didn't mean much - this was Siberia.

The two men seemed hesitant to inquire about the matter. Because Li Zhen, who was regarded as a victim by them a moment ago, now behaves like a group. One of the more important factors is that there are only two of them. If you happen to run into a carload of "thugs", it seems that two guns in your hand alone do not guarantee effective force suppression. In these days, it seems that every good citizen of the past is willing to die for his life, his possessions, or even for anything, and this is especially true for the Slavic people.

So the two soldiers finally relented and moved away from the car window: "You are also going to the city?" ”

"Yes."

"Then go on that road, and there is martial law ahead. Don't play tricks. ”

The two soldiers pointed into the distance. And Li Zhen also understood why these three would try to get through in the dark instead of forcing them through.

Because the blue-gray outline of the building can already be seen on the horizon ahead, it will not be more than a kilometer away from this place. They appear to have come to the military-controlled area and are driving on the road into the city. His previous sentence was also crooked.

The soldier re-boarded the plane.

But the helicopter did not go away, but followed the SUV for a while, until the car followed the direction they were pointing, and merged into the crowd they had seen before roaring away.

And during this time, there was an eerie silence in the carriage.

The man next to Li Zhen pressed the muzzle of the gun under his ribs, and the masked man turned his face and stared at him with one black eye. Li Zhen saw the face of the woman driving in the rearview mirror. It was a Caucasian man with beautiful blonde hair and turquoise eyes. Perhaps this is also the reason why the two soldiers let their guard down at the last time.

When the roar of the helicopter died down, Li Zhen smiled: "I think those two have already guessed who you are just now." But...... Looks like you're notorious in this area. ”

The masked man furrowed one of his eyebrows slightly, "Who are you?" ”

"If only you knew that I wasn't an enemy. If you can still show me to your talkers, maybe you can know the answer. Otherwise......" Li Zhen leaned back on the back seat and smiled, shrugging.

The man next to him snorted and poked him in the ribs with the muzzle of his gun. The masked man didn't stop him, and said in a deep voice, "People don't say they can see each other. How do I know you-"

"I thought I had shown good intentions just now. And ......" Li Zhen straightened up and rested his hand on the barrel of the gun against him.

The man snapped, "Don't move! ”

He stroked his finger over the barrel of the gun, lifted it up again, and continued: "And I don't think you can help me. ”

The man glared at the gun in his hand. The muzzle of the gun had turned into a spiral-shaped awl, glowing with a faint reddish glow, and only a moment before turning jet black again in the cold air.

Li Zhen felt that most of these three people were knowledgeable. Now, judging from their expressions, they are really "knowledgeable". Most body-enhancing abilities can easily bend the barrel. But to do something like him, to make the muzzle of a gun like this without the gun bearer noticing, requires more than just force.

The masked man's face became solemn. After some hesitation, he said, "Your attitude makes me very embarrassed. If you know us, you should know that our identity is sensitive in this kind of place. We'd rather risk staying here than bring back someone of unknown originβ€”even if you have the power to coerce us now. ”

Li Zhen nodded understandingly: "Believe me, my identity will only be more sensitive than yours." Especially for the people in the north. It seems to me that we have at least one other common enemy, and I don't have much affection for these separatist juntas. I'm also worried that one of you will leak my information, which will cause me more trouble. ”

The woman, who had been silent, suddenly laughed: "It sounds like it was sent by the central government." ”

Li Zhen smiled gently: "It's okay to think so." After all, I'm harmless. Fir and Eagle, such a well-known mercenary organization, are you still afraid of me making any waves in the base camp? ”

The masked man stared at him for a few more seconds, a slightly puzzled look in his eyes.

This person looks different. Unlike the woman who drove the car, he was shorter, as if he were an ordinary human. Of course, this shortness is only relative to the two - they are almost all over 190 centimeters tall. (To be continued......)
