Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Dark Pearl, Chapter 25

One thing Commander K7 forgot to explain was that he and the Falcon Leader were friends with their lives when they were younger. Although there are far fewer friends than mutated creatures in this turbulent era, the men who have fought side by side can easily become constant friends. So Sue, who was introduced by the K7 commander, immediately gained the trust of the Falcon leader.

Su only wanted to take on one or two missions, and then explore the west along the way, and slowly move farther away. I didn't expect to encounter such a team of mercenaries who were too unusual.

Su smiled bitterly and turned his face to see the big face of the falcon leader who was smiling brightly.

"Actually......" Sue spoke, and the room immediately fell silent, and everyone was looking at him.

In fact, since arriving at the Falcon headquarters, Su has not had a chance to say anything, and the time has been taken up by the Falcon leader's incessant talk. Seeing what Su was going to say, there were rough men in the room, old and young, with blazing eyes, hope, eagerness, anxiety, and even more gains and losses. Due to the lack of snipers, the Falcon suffered casualties on almost every mission. And with the current situation of the Falcon, almost one dead or wounded will reduce the number of available members.

The room grew quieter, and an unsettling atmosphere began to creep in. Not only the twelve large men in the room, but also the faces of several women, old people, and children quietly appeared at the door window. The women here are almost as rough as the men, and they also have the same ardent desire to survive and love for the land. In the extremely barren wilderness, only an alternative like the falcon would take in the completely worthless old and disabled.

Su suddenly felt that every word he was about to say now was heavy and had to be thought over and over again.

"Actually......" Su Rouhe's soothing voice echoed in the room, almost all echoing: "I can say that I am a third-order sniper." ”

With a bang, the men in the room immediately became excited, and there was immediately a lot of awe and worship in their eyes when they looked at Su. This is a real big shot!

The Falcon Boss is nothing more than a first-order power boost and a first-order simple gun mastery. Except for the leader, the people in this room had never seen a person with a real third-order ability. Men and women alike were excited, and even began to look forward to a happy combat career in the future, where they could charge under the cover of a third-order sniper. However, the leader didn't think so, and his heart sank suddenly, no matter what way it was, it was impossible for the Falcon to keep a third-order sniper. He understands what kind of price a third-order sniper can do in the market.

Sure enough, Su looked at the falcon leader and said, "I came here to see if I could do a mission along the way." After one mission at most, I'm leaving. ”

The falcon leader looked at Su, looked at the room full of men who were stunned, and then looked at the table full of barbecue meat and the full glass of wine that had not been touched in front of Su, rubbed his nose, and said with a wry smile: "I know the price of a third-order sniper." If you go on a mission, you can buy an entire falcon at the cheapest price. When you came, I thought you were just a first-order sniper...... You see where we're doing, and to be honest, we can't afford to pay at all. ”

The falcon was indeed very poor, and apart from weapons and garrisons, it barely had a surplus of food and water. Most of the weapons were financed by nearby settlements, and the station, a sizable estate, was even less of a fact. In turbulent times, the most important thing is abandoned buildings.

Su suddenly grabbed the glass in front of him and drank the full glass of spirits!

A line of fire stretched from her throat to Sue's stomach. Sue's stomach immediately lit up several ammunition depots at the same time.

"I owe Falcon a mission." Su said that the blue eyes were as bright as emerald.

The falcon chieftain was momentarily confused by the sudden turn of events, and said, "But...... We really don't have the money. Even these mutant meats are about to be unaffordable. You know, we have more than thirty veterans to eat......"

"The payment has already been paid." Sue gestured to the empty wine glass in front of him.

The falcon leader opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time, and after a while, he stretched out his big hand and patted Su's shoulder: "Brother......"

However, his big hand fell short and slapped directly on the back of the chair. Stunned, the falcon leader saw that Su had fallen on the table and fell asleep.

The room was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at the third-order sniper who had poured a cup, and then looked at each other, completely confused by the situation in front of them.

The falcon leader was the first to come back to his senses, and then he stood up and wanted to help Su, looked at his big hand, and hurriedly called over two sturdy women, carried Su to the room where the women lived in the back, and put him to sleep. In Falcon, the place where the women sleep is the best and cleanest. Even the leader himself was huddled with a bunch of rough men.

The leader knew that most of the high-ranking warriors had personal privacy, and sternly ordered everyone not to rummage through Su's belongings and enter Su's room. Especially a little girl who wanted to see what Su's face looked like under the bandage, not only was her head flicked fiercely, but she was also punished for dinner.

Falcon Manor, just like that, fell asleep in the night.

The dawn is approaching, and it is the darkest time. In the darkness, a faint blue light slowly lit up. The blue light started to look a little dazed, and then suddenly it lit up!

Su sat up, stretched out his left hand, and habitually touched the gun. However, when he stretched out his hand, he felt empty, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Su straightened his waist, and the whole person seemed to have lost weight, rising lightly, and sticking directly to the ceiling, this time he was holding a piece of ceramic armor in his hand. This thing is light, thin, and extremely hard, and when swirled out, it can gently separate the human head from the neck.

Su hung on the ceiling for three seconds, and only after seeing that the environment in the room was unfamiliar, it was actually empty, and then he jumped silently.

All the equipment was neatly arranged in the corner of the room, and the cloaks were neatly folded and laid aside. Su then remembered the events of last night, and he vaguely remembered that the falcon leader grinned widely, as if he was saying something, but he couldn't hear a word. Then a grenade burst of heat rose in his chest, and as for the rest, I could no longer remember.

Su only then realized that for the first time in his life, he was drunk. It was a strange feeling to be drunk, but what made him speechless the most was that this sudden drunkenness actually made him progress a little more insignificant. This small change was a huge improvement for the whole, as he had finally accumulated six complete evolution points.

He couldn't laugh or cry, could it be that he would be drunk every day in the future? Maybe Su would have tried to do this ten years ago, but now, not to mention that wine is very expensive, the evolution energy that Su got from two missions would be much faster than that.

Su silently dressed neatly, and then cleaned up everything in the room, and after eliminating all traces of his existence, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the vast night.

Just now, the moment he woke up, Su suddenly had a very strong uneasiness. It was almost the same feeling as when he was ten years old, when he was targeted by several rotting wolves and stalked him all night. Su immediately remembered Rei, but Rei should not have any intention of killing him, and when he was targeted by Rei, he felt completely different from now.

Sue was almost certain that it wasn't Leigh who was following him now, it was a pack of wolves.

He decided to leave immediately. What can give Su such a strong sense of crisis, whether it is a human or some other mutated creature, is not something that this group of naïve mercenaries in Falcon can deal with.

The falcon's naïve and unrealistic ideals, in these turbulent times, are like a ray of fire in the darkness, which cannot illuminate the world, but invites destruction.

Under the cover of the night, Sue left the Falcon Manor without alarming anyone, and began to move at a uniform speed across the vast wasteland. The modified rifle was heavily pressed on his back, which gave Su Pingkong some confidence. The first thing he had to do to deal with the wolves behind him in this expansive, complex terrain was to figure out what was being tracked behind him, and then to compete with patience and perhaps luck.

The vast world is a paradise for wolves, and it is also a paradise for Sue. Wolves are patient animals, and Sue is very patient as well.

The dense clouds were blown open by the strong wind, and the scorching sunlight poured down, and the colorful creatures that were still active on the ground immediately scattered and fled, each looking for a dark place to hide. The temperature of the ground rises rapidly, and the hot air that rises soon distorts the scenery on the ground.

Apart from the howling of the wind, there were few other sounds in the wilderness, and no trace of activity was visible.

In an abandoned villa, Sue sat by the window on the second floor, carefully wiping down rifle parts. When the last part was polished, he reassembled the rifle with slow and precise movements, and then pushed an incendiary grenade before carefully placing the gun beside him and covering the muzzle with strips of cloth to prevent ash. The gun was Sue's guarantee of survival in the wilderness, and after losing the pistol, the modified rifle became Sue's only weapon. And to fight the wolves, this rifle is even more of his reliance.

Sue leaned against the wall and fell asleep. In this area, Su has been wandering for five whole days, and on the map in his mind, he can clearly see the trajectory he has traveled in the past five days, a large arc, almost forming a semicircle. The area he entered now was a similar part of the map. Sue was reluctant to fight people in a completely unfamiliar area.

Half an hour later, Sue opened her eyes, and not a second was missing. At this time, the clouds in the sky closed again, and the wilderness was gray and gloomy, and the heat brought by the scorching sun just now still lingered, and the heat was still steaming under the feet when I stepped on the land.

For five days, Su Du walked for two hours and rested for half an hour, alternating day and night. He walked at a constant pace, keeping it at about ten kilometers per hour. Of course, Su's speed was much more than ten kilometers, and this was done so that the wolves that were following behind him misjudged. In critical moments, perhaps the slightest mistake can turn the tide of battle.

The wolves are getting closer and closer to Su, but they haven't met Sue yet, and Su doesn't know where these wolves came from. When Su finishes a big circle, he may be able to find some clues from the traces left by the wolves.

There was still plenty of time, and Sue slowly moved her body. His skin trembled slightly, and a faint pinprick was constantly felt on it, a sign of danger, indicating that the people behind him had never given up tracking him. Many beasts have a natural instinct for danger, and Sue is not inferior to most beasts in this regard, if not surpassed. After choosing the ability domain of the occult, the sense of danger is even more acute. Perhaps this is one of the lesser-known benefits of the occult.

Sue began to gather her equipment and looked at the map in her head, thinking about her next route. When he saw the K7 base on the map, Su's heart suddenly jumped. Regardless of where these wolves came from, judging by the time and location of their appearance, K7 Base is the most likely one.

Su walked out of the small building, walked out of a few kilometers, and suddenly turned in a direction, and slanted towards the K7 base.

Less than 90 kilometers from Sue, Raikna and the others found some of the latest traces under a large tree. The part-time electronic expert opened the map, which was no worse than Su's, and it was impressively marked with Su's route these days, almost exactly the same. The electronics expert marked the latest location, and an almost complete semicircle appeared on the map.

On this map, there are several places marked with red X, which is very scarlet.

"He's definitely spotted us, cunning fellow, and wants to take us around in circles." Raikna said with a sneer. He glanced at the electronics expert and asked, "Is that thing reliable?" ”

The electronics expert looked up and said solemnly, "Except for Lord Oberen, there should be no one in our team who can detect and break my device. ”

Raikna's face was obviously a little unpleasant, but he didn't have a seizure, but looked at the map and said coldly, "If this guy really wants to go around with us, I hope you can give him a big enough surprise." ”

Lekona looked at the hunter again and asked with a little dissatisfaction, "Can't we be faster?" ”

The hunter was studying the marks left on the ground when he heard Raikna ask, looked up and said, "It can't be any faster." The traces he left behind are very scarce, and it is now the limit for us to track him, and that is because fortunately, there have been no extreme weather in this area recently, otherwise a passing tornado would wipe everything out. Looking at the time of this trace, it is estimated that the distance between us and him is less than 100 kilometers. In another three days, we should be able to get into the distance of a dispersed outflanking attack. ”

"Three more days!" Raikna was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this answer, but it was pointless to blame a third-order hunter, Lecona himself had no replacement, and it was impossible for a fourth-order hunter to come and serve as his subordinate.

"Let's keep chasing! And, as before, by all means, provoke him and let him come to us himself. Now take a 30-minute break, and in 30 minutes the whole team will go! Raikna gave the order.

The servants set up a collapsible marching pot, poured rations into the pot, and filled it with water. There is a switch under the pot that at the touch of a button, a high-temperature flame derived from solid fuel can boil the ration in three minutes. Each pot is equipped with one kilogram of fuel, which is enough for a month.

Rigore slowly ate his share of rations, and he was not in a hurry because he had ten minutes to eat anyway. In the past few days of cooperation with Lecona and Oberen, Rigoray has been watching from the sidelines, silently remembering all the details of what he has seen. Both Raikna and Oberenne were very talented young men, and six of their ten followers were third-order abilities, and the rest were second-order.

From a rough point of view, such a lineup can also be taken out by Roxerland, but it is a second-order ability, and it is also a professional who is also a biochemical expert and an electronics expert, and there are only a few people in the entire Roxerland company, and this kind of compound talent is in a high position in the company's headquarters. How can they be like these people in front of them, who are almost indistinguishable from slaves?

In addition, the equipment of the Dark Dragoon is exquisite, simple, and practical, and almost all of them contain technology beyond the capabilities of Roxerland. For example, this marching pot, Roxserland cannot produce it on its own. Metallurgy, electronics and mechanical finishing are fine, but high-efficiency solid fuels are far beyond the company's scientific capabilities.

Three minutes to cook, two minutes to divide meals, ten minutes to eat, and fifteen minutes to rest, the team's movements are as precise as clockwork. After following Sue in circles in the wilderness for five days, all the buggies were discarded due to lack of fuel. Moreover, due to the speed of the car, the trace of Su is often lost, and the efficiency is not as good as that of the foot march.

For fifteen minutes, Rigore slept soundly, and as soon as the alarm clock rang, he jumped up energetically. There was some respect in Raikna's gaze as he looked at Rigore. After five days of continuous tracking, even those third-order servants began to look tired, only Raikna, Oberen, and Rigolei did not show any tiredness.

Night soon fell, and the cold wind dispelled the heat of the day.

Su stood quietly, staring at the K7 settlement a kilometer away. In the deep darkness of the night, at this distance, even with his faint vision, only a rough outline could be faintly seen.

The wind was blowing, and the smell of rancid smell swept through the nose. You can smell it all the time in the wilderness, but tonight it's a bit stronger, and much fresher than the scents wafting around in the wilderness.

The K7 settlement was silent. Although it is usually at this time, most of the people in the settlement should be asleep. But there will still be a small number of people who are active, anesthetizing their nerves in alcohol, drugs and **. Tonight's K7 is too quiet.

Night is Sue's domain. He removed the modified rifle, loaded the bullet, and dove towards K7 like a ghost.

Every corner of the K7 settlement is stored in a map of the zài su, not flat, but three-dimensional. It can be said that Su already knows everything about the K7. K7 has about 200 inhabitants, which is neither large nor small for the size of a settlement.

The restored buildings of the settlement are in the shape of a ring, most of which is needed to protect against external dangers, and in the center is a small open space where residents usually meet or trade. The residence of the Settlement Commander, a small tin house, sits on the edge of a clearing.

Now there are more open spaces that there used to be nothing.

A three- or four-meter-long wooden pole with a corpse hanging from it, swaying back and forth in the fierce night wind. A gust of wind occasionally blew the corpse around, and by the faint glow of the night, it was recognizable as the commander of K7. A rope ran around the commander's neck and hung him from a wooden pole. But the rope didn't seem to be the cause of the Commander's death, his body was covered in burn marks, his entire body was almost charred, and a few intact limbs seemed to have been deliberately preserved, as the charred clothes were deeply embedded in them. However, his face miraculously did not show any signs of burning, and it was because of this that his expression of extreme pain before death was engraved.

Under the wooden pole is a heavy base, a base made of corpses stacked on top of each other.

Sue slowly looked at the corpses one by one, and the corpses all had one thing in common, no matter how mutilated the limbs became, the faces were well preserved, along with those expressions of despair, pain, anger, and screams. Some of these faces are familiar to Su, and some are very unfamiliar, but they should all be residents of K7. According to a rough estimate, there were about forty corpses piled up under the wooden poles. The corpses were highly decomposed, and from time to time maggots of unspeakable size burrowed in and out of the carrion. It seems that these people have been dead for some time.

In the silent clearing, Su stood alone, like an immortal resentful spirit in a cemetery.

Not just the central open space, but many of K7's houses are emitting a fresh rancid stench. The entire K7 has been turned into a graveyard, with only a few faint breathing sounds still eliminating.

He slowly leaned down and pulled up the charred arm of a corpse. At the tentacle, the charcoal ash immediately flew, obviously the flesh and blood had been completely burned through, but at the end of the charcoal ash, there was still a thin layer of flesh sticking to the bones. Strangely, the outer layer of the arm has been completely charred, but the inner layer of flesh and blood is quite intact. This shows that the temperature of the flame burned on the corpse is extremely high, far exceeding that of ordinary flames, in order to completely char the flesh in a short period of contact. Su thought for a moment before standing up.

Su didn't move the corpse on the open ground again, but gently pushed open the door of a shack next to him, and he could see a thin old man sitting in the shack, hearing the voice, he turned his head to look at the door, his cloudy gaze slid over Su, but there was no reaction. In a shack of only a few square meters, in addition to this old man, there were three corpses, a man, a woman and a child. The corpses had long since decomposed, and the stench was thick everywhere in the shack, but the old man was unaware of it.

Su disappeared like a ghost, and the old man still sat still.

At this time, those who remained in K7 were all old people who could not move, and they had to wait here to die. The survivors have long since left, and in fact it is a settlement with little nostalgia other than relative safety. When K7's corpse begins to decompose, the plague will quickly take the lives of those who dare to linger. This has never changed, old or new.
