23: Cult of the Flying Face

After disconnecting the communication with Xu Zhen, Zhang Fan looked in the direction of the base and said:

"Xu Xiaofei, you and I will go in and take a look."

"Okay." Xu Xiaofei agreed.

"Brother Fan, I'll go too." Lao Fei said on the side.

Zhang Fan immediately stopped it, and with Lao Fei's temper, it was safer not to take him with him for this kind of quiet work.

"No, we can't communicate after we go in, you stay here to answer, remember, if Xiaofei and I don't come back after three and a half hours, you evacuate immediately, the farther away the better."

"But ......"

Fei Buyuan still wanted to say, Zhang Fan glared at him and said in a low voice:

"Obedience."

"Yes, Brother Fan, Xiaofei, you two must be careful."

"Got it," Zhang Fan said, "take care of the hibiscus for me." ”

"Brother, let me follow you in, I'm more familiar with the base than you."

Zhang Fan thought for a while, what Xiao Mu Hibiscus said was very reasonable, but it was too dangerous, so it was better not to take her.

And her wings are so ostentatious that even the monster suit can't hide them all.

"No, you just stay with your big brother Fei."

"Okay." Hibiscus pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Zhang Fan wiped the splash on the eyepiece of his helmet, carried his modified combat rifle behind him, beckoned Xu Xiaofei to join him, and walked around the small dirt slope towards the base.

As soon as he walked out of a short distance, there was a sound of rushing water from a small puddle next to him, Zhang Fan was startled, and quickly turned his head to look.

I saw a black shadow leaping up from the ground and rushing towards Zhang Fan and the others.

The black shadow was still holding something in his hand, like a dagger, and the person who came was not good.

Although Zhang Fan and Xu Xiaofei have turned on full-band stealth, including infrared thermal imaging, they can't stand such a dense raindrop smashing on their bodies, as long as they have better eyes, they can see two strange humanoid silhouettes moving in the heavy rain.

Zhang Fan reacted immediately, at this moment, the transformed body coupled with the assistance of the monster, before the person could get close, Zhang Fan directly slapped the dagger in the opponent's hand.

"it!"

The black shadow couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, as if he was stunned by Zhang Fan's slap.

But before he could react, Zhang Fan grabbed him by the neck and pressed him into the muddy water on the ground, unable to make a sound.

"Don't yell, or I'll kill ......"

Before Zhang Fan finished asking, several black shadows jumped on the ground around him.

Zhang Fan scolded secretly in his heart, this group of guys must have worn something that prevents infrared radiation, coupled with the heavy rain, the temperature is already low, and the infrared surveillance can't see them at all.

"Xiaofei, don't use weapons, let me come."

After speaking, Zhang Fan smashed his fist under the ear of the man on the ground, directly knocking him unconscious, and then lifted it up, grabbed one of his legs and swept towards the black shadows.

Seeing that his companion was thrown like a big windmill whirring with the sound of the wind, several black shadows retreated, but they had no intention of leaving, but stood in a circle and surrounded Zhang Fan and Xu Xiaofei.

Zhang Fan let go of his hand, and the unlucky ghost in his hand smashed straight towards the other guy like a cannonball.

The man reacted quickly, dodging away with a sideways step, without the slightest intention of catching his companion.

And the unlucky ghost flew straight into the rain, not knowing where to go.

"Stop, don't move, everyone has something to say."

At this time, someone finally spoke in several dark shadows, he inserted the dagger in his hand into his waist, arched his hand in the direction of Zhang Fan, and then asked politely:

"Friend in front of you, take the liberty of asking, are you a human or a clone?"

"I'm human, what are you?" Zhang Fan asked rhetorically.

The black shadow who spoke was obviously excited, and hurriedly walked towards Zhang Fan.

"Stop," Zhang Fan immediately stopped the other party and said:

"You get it clear first."

The black shadow immediately stopped, and said in an excited tone:

"Friend, I'm also a human being, I didn't mean to attack you just now, I'm really embarrassed, and please don't blame it."

"Less nonsense, who the hell are you and how are you here?"

"We are members of the Flying Mask Cult, and we are here to ...... this time"

"Wait, wait, what are you talking about? What is the face-to-face teaching? Zhang Fan asked.

"Cult of the Flying Face." The dark shadow replied again.

Zhang Fan turned his head sideways and whispered to Xu Xiaofei next to him:

"Xiaofei, have you heard of this sect, how can it sound like a cult."

"I haven't heard of it, you ask himself." Xu Xiaofei said.

"And what are you doing here?"

The Shadow continued, "We're here to rescue someone. ”

"Who?"

The shadow paused for a moment before replying:

"The son of our chief, his name is Liu Cai."

"Are you star thieves?" Zhang Fan blurted out.

Isn't this Liu Cai the star thief who traveled to the parallel universe together before?

It's just that I went and didn't come back.

The black shadow in front of him said that he was the son of their leader, so the group in front of him must also be a star thief.

"Oh? Friend, have you met Liu Cai? We are indeed Star Thieves, where is he now? The shadow asked eagerly.

"Hmm...... Well...... this."

Zhang Fan touched his chin, wondering if he would tell him the truth? If you tell the truth, you are sure.

So just lie.

So, Zhang Fan said in a sworn tone:

"He's no longer in this base, you don't have to look for it anymore."

"Not here anymore? So where did he go? Please let a friend tell us, thank you. ”

"Where to go...... I don't know, but I'm certainly not here, I saw him run away last time. ”

"This ......"

The black shadow began to hesitate, and he couldn't tell whether Zhang Fan's words were true or false.

"He's really not in the base anymore, please go back quickly, just a few of you, this level, don't go in and give people heads."

The shadow didn't speak, but a larger, bigger man behind him spoke:

"Hey, what are we at this level? Who do you look down on? Besides, we're not just a few of us. ”

"Oh?"

The big man wanted to continue chatting, but the black shadow in front of him hurriedly stopped him, and the black shadow said:

"Friend, to tell you the truth, our leader has given a death order, if we can't find his son, don't go back alive."

Zhang Fan frowned and said:

"What's the matter with me?"

"It's not that we don't believe what you said, we just don't go in and look for it, don't worry, I see that your friend is extraordinary, so ......"

"Want to come in with me?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Hmm."

"How many of you are there?"

"We ...... A hundred, already lying in ambush around the base. ”

"So much?"

Zhang Fan was taken aback, he didn't expect that more than a hundred people from this Flying Noodles Divine Sect would come.

He lowered his head and thought to himself, since this black shadow decided not to leave, at least he couldn't let these hundred or so people stand on his opposite side and become enemies.

So Zhang Fan said:

"That's okay, Xiaofei, give him a communicator, you go in with us to find someone, but you can go with you alone, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed if there are too many people."

"Okay."

The Dark Shadow seems to be the leader of these men, and he introduces himself as Picard Wal-Mart.

After arranging the other black shadows, Picard followed Zhang Fan and the others to the base.

If Zhang Fan knew why the Black Shadow was named Picard Wal-Mart, he believed that he would not have taken him to the base with him anyway.

The trio scurried around in the heavy rain to the edge of the base under a high wall, and Picard didn't have a combat suit like Zhang Fan, so he had to use the terrain to hide himself.

"Picard, is there a way for you to get in?" Zhang Fan asked.

Although he planned to climb in directly like he did last time, he still wanted to see if there was a better way for this star thief.

Picard immediately replied:

"Of course there is, otherwise we wouldn't be here."

"Oh? How are you going to get in? ”

"Before we came, we got information about this maintenance base, and we knew that it was a fully enclosed base with a high wall, so we developed special tools."

And special tools? Zhang Fan's interest soared, according to logic, circumventing the wall should be a skill that must be mastered for the profession of star thief.

"What tool? Take it out and take a look. ”

Picard put his hands in his clothes, and when he reached out again, he had an extra pair of claw sleeves on his hands, and then slapped his boots again, only to hear two clicks, and a few more metal grappling hooks appeared at the bottom of the boots.

"That's it...... That's it...... Well? ”

Zhang Fan almost couldn't believe it, Picard shook the claw sleeve in his hand and said:

"Custom-made, perfect fit in my palm, leather sewn doesn't hurt my hands, tungsten gold chrome ......"

Zhang Fan immediately interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, it sounds very good, you can climb one and try it." ”

Picard was unequivocal, turned around and pressed his palm against the high wall, grabbed it hard, and then jumped up with both feet at the same time, glaring at the wall at once.

I really got up, but in a weird position, like a toad jumping on the wall.

Zhang Fan and Xu Xiaofei glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, activated the monster's climbing function, and quickly climbed towards the wall.

"Look, it's a great tool, isn't it?"

Picard turned his head to talk down as he climbed back, he couldn't see Zhang Fan and Xu Xiaofei, thinking they were still below.

"Don't worry, wait for me to climb up, I'll throw the tools down, and ......"

"Hey, can you climb faster? We're almost there. ”

"You ...... Why are you guys so fast? ”

"Less nonsense, hurry." Zhang Fan urged.

"Okay."

Picard sped up and scrambled towards the wall.

Just as he was about to catch up with Zhang Fan and Xu Xiaofei, he heard a slight 'click' sound from the claw sleeve in Picard's hand, followed by a slight squeak like a fingernail cutting through glass.

"...... I'm going to fall, pull me. ”

"!"

In desperation, Zhang Fan let go, fell straight down for a distance, and grabbed Picard's hand, which lifted him to the wall.

On the wall, the three of them hurriedly squatted down, Zhang Fan looked around, and there were no clones patrolling the wall.

This made Zhang Fan have a bad premonition in his heart.

It stands to reason that at this time, the base should have received the news of the capture of the Star Gate, as well as the battle of ambushing the clone warship, which should make the people in the base more or less vigilant and strengthen their defenses, but what is the situation on this empty wall?
