Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 27

"I need more time to see if I can find a sample of the intruder that is still alive." The biochemist looked up, his face a little ugly.

Now his only hope was that the intruder was as active as it was aggressive, and that it was only possible to obtain the complete genes by finding the surviving invaders in the soil or somewhere else, and then completely freezing them with the freezing spray they carried.

However, no one knows the horror of the invaders better than this biochemical expert. No matter how dedicated he was, he would never want to deal with anything like this, not to mention that this was not a well-guarded laboratory, he only had a portable and rudimentary instrument and some simple protective measures. God knows how these invaders are transmitted and what kind of effects they will have in the human body.

Within ten meters of the scene, only the biochemist himself was working nervously, and everyone else was standing ten meters away in strict accordance with the specifications.

Biochemists take the samples piece by piece, spray them with chirgy, and carefully place them in isolation bags before marking them.

Raikna left two men to assist the biochemists, and the rest were led by hunters to find Sue's whereabouts. However, as soon as he came out of the Falcon headquarters, all clues about Su were broken. Oberen's hunter Hu has a number of second- to third-order abilities in the perception domain, as well as second-order agility in the fighting domain, and nearly twenty years of experience in wilderness survival and tracking and anti-tracking, even so, it is necessary to be very careful to find the little trace left by Su that is almost impossible to detect.

"He's cunning, and his previous performance is completely confusing us." The hunter said this more than once with a solemn face, and each time he did not forget to add: "Of course, he was very badly wounded. ”

Judging from the splashed minced meat and large traces of blood at the scene, everyone knew that Sue was not lightly injured, but this nonsense could still calm the anxiety in everyone's hearts, especially Raikna. As long as you can catch Sue, countless glory, rewards and status will follow when you return. In Raikna's mind, Sue is a moving treasure trove, not to mention that judging from that portrait, although it is impossible to know Sue's full appearance, he is already a heart-warming man. If it weren't for the chilling intruder, Raikna would have been more than willing to try his taste before handing over Sue.

Even though you know that this treasure is within reach, you have to be patient to find it little by little, which is a huge test of patience for anyone.

Calmness and patience are qualities that every Dark Dragoon must keep in mind repeatedly. Raikna was naturally impatient, but his strict education allowed him to suppress his worries and not dictate to hunters. That's Oberen's subordinate, and trusting professionals is common sense that all Dark Dragoons know.

The team traveled very slowly, and as hours passed, they circled the Falcon headquarters three times, only two kilometers from the center.

Sue was not far away, this was the conclusion shared by both the hunter and Oberen. In such a short period of time, and with such a serious injury, it was impossible for Su to move at high speed without leaving any traces. The traces left by Sue are scattered around the manor, and it seems that they have also made a circle around to confuse the pursuers behind them. For now, Sue has more than enough hiding places in a land littered with ruins, abandoned villas, broken highways, lone power towers, and a large clump of thick, twisted bushes. If no trace of him can be traced, even if it is only a square kilometer in size, a full search will take a whole day, and that is still under the assumption that the target does not move.

Time passed little by little, and the night soon covered the land again. Although everyone was not as free as in the day, there were third-order hunters in the team, and they still refused to give up, because Su would definitely not be able to run far. For such a cunning prey, of course, he cannot be given a moment to breathe.

The hunter turned on a delicate flashlight, but no light was visible. This is an ultraviolet flashlight, and the hunter's eyes have been specially modified to see ultraviolet light.

While the hunters scrutinized the ground, the others scanned the dark night aimlessly. Most people didn't know what the hunter could see from the ground where there was nothing, but there must have been clues for him to be so cautious.

It was windy at night, and the wind was chaotic, fast and slow.

In the darkness, a fire flickered in the distance. Oberen's face changed drastically, and before he could call, he stretched out his hand at a swift speed and pressed Lecona a few meters away in the air!

There was a soft thud, and with Raikna as the center, a strong gust of wind suddenly rose, blowing Oberen's gray hair and black uniform clinging to his body. Several second-order ability people were caught off guard, and they couldn't resist the wind pressure at all, and staggered backwards. Rigore stood still, but he was also frightened by the strong wind pressure in his face.

With a soft sound of the wave, a fire suddenly lit up a meter in front of Lekona, and a warhead seemed to hit an invisible wall, which suddenly slowed down, and then the warhead began to deform strongly. Ordinary bullets may have exploded in vain in front of this barrier, but the momentum of this bullet was huge, far beyond the ordinary, although the bullet became red and shiny in the friction of high speed and force, almost molten into a ball of molten iron, and finally pounced, penetrated the invisible wall, turned into a hot metal jet, and roared towards Raikna's chest! Although the speed of this metal jet is greatly reduced compared to the previous one, the momentum and high heat can still easily penetrate the steel plate that is not thick.

But the bullet was stopped, and Raikna had a chance to react. His eyes glowed bright red, and he let out a loud shout, and a blazing flame storm suddenly erupted around him! As soon as the jets of metal rushed into the scorching wind, they were swept away, deflected, and blown away by the raging whirlwind, and a large droplet of metal brushed past Raikna, and pounced on the wilderness, and the ground was scorched with green smoke.

After a rapid rotation of dozens of weeks, the foehn suddenly spread out in all directions, igniting everything that could be ignited within ten meters of Raikna. There seemed to be an invisible force field around Raikna's body, isolating the foehn from his body, but suddenly, the range of the force field contracted, and the uniform of the dark dragoon on his body could not withstand the heat, and a large piece of fabric began to burn.

It was only then that the muffled thunderous sound of gunfire faintly came.

Standing in a field of flames, Raikna looked at the scorched earth not far away, which was still emitting wisps of green smoke, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! The bullet's trajectory was aimed at his heart, and if Oberen hadn't noticed it and added a layer of defense to Raikna in time, Raikna would have had a large hole in his chest.

With Raikna's abilities and the skills of the Dark Dragoon, even if he is shot in the chest with a sniper rifle, as long as his brain is not destroyed, he can still save a life. But the power of this shot is much greater than that of an ordinary sniper rifle, comparable to an anti-materiel gun, and if this shot hits him directly, I'm afraid that most of Raikna's chest will be blown away, and no amount of advanced technology of the Dark Dragoon will be able to save him at that time.

One of Lekona's subordinates immediately found a suitable position, set up a long-range sniper rifle, and searched for Sue in the composite sight. The rest of the servants were in a fighting posture, ready to rush in the direction where the bullets were fired.

"No need to go." Oberen stopped the minions who were just starting out, and said calmly, "He's gone far. ”

Under the light of the fire, Oberen's face was very pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, his usually soft and flying gray hair was stuck to his forehead, and his gray eyes had lost a lot of brilliance. At the moment, it seems that he is a little delicate, pale big boy, maybe he can change his outfit and become a beautiful girl with a bit of neutral beauty.

However, Rigore was not fooled by Oberen's slightly effeminate appearance, and was deeply shocked by his strong and mysterious abilities. Not to mention the powerful shield of defense, it was incredible that he could sense the impending danger and protect Raikna in time under such a terrible attack.

If this shot had been fired at Rigore, he would have thought that there was only one way to die.

The knowledgeable, quiet, modest, and even slightly weak young man in front of him is like an endless ocean of bottomless abyss at this moment, and the depth cannot be measured at all.

Raikna suddenly roared, and a circle of flames rushed around him, turning into a sea of fire within ten meters! All the servants immediately avoided in all directions, they did not dare to touch this seemingly ordinary flame. The flames ignited by this ability are unusually hot, and it only takes a dozen seconds to completely scorch the human body. Only Oberen stood in the fire, not moving. When the flames reached his side, they parted automatically and poured out.

"He can't run far! I'm going to kill him with my own hands! Raikna roared, not only his eyes were red, but even the skin on his face was a thick dark red, and the hot flames did not stop forming around him, and it was very threatening to incinerate the visible qi

Oberen stopped Raikna with both hands, and said seriously, "He's much more dangerous than we originally expected!" It's not enough for just the two of us, so ask for reinforcements from headquarters! ”

"Reinforcements?!" Lecona roared. "Why are we asking for reinforcements from headquarters, and why are we letting those guys share the credit? Do you know what kind of promotion we will get when we go back and how much ability we will get after we catch him? ”

Facing the enraged Raikna, Oberen sighed and said, "I know all of this. But if we catch up like this, maybe the casualties will be heavy. ”

After venting, Raikna's emotions calmed down a bit, and the hot flames around him ceased to generate. He pushed Oberen away and replied with the same seriousness: "The mission of the servants is to serve us, even if it is at the expense of it. ”

"But......" Oberyen tried to retort, but he couldn't.

Raikna pointed to the hunter and commanded in an unquestioning tone, "Lead the way, go find that boy!" ”

The hunter hesitated slightly, but finally responded: "Yes!" Sir! "He's a servant of Oberen, but he's also a peripheral member of the Dark Dragoon. As the corporal of the Dark Dragoon, the highest-ranking person present, Raikna must obey orders unless Oberen explicitly objected.

A shot at Raikna was fired from a kilometer away, and Su immediately withdrew after firing a shot, not putting the firing position in order, so the hunter and Raikna quickly found a place.

It's a small pit, just big enough to bury one person. There is only some grass around that is not dense, and it does not play a much hidden role.

The hunter inspected the position and said to Raikna, "It seems that he buried himself in the earth during the day to avoid our tracking. Now, he should have withdrawn to the east. ”

"Chase!" With a gloomy face, Raikna gave the order.

The ten men turned to the east in pursuit. Raikna was no longer prepared to leave the biochemists and the two warriors in the manor alone, preoccupied only with catching Sue.

It was the first time he was so close to death.

As soon as the team was marching, Oberen suddenly stopped! He stopped so suddenly that a servant behind him almost couldn't stop and crashed into him!

"What's wrong? Did you find him? Raikna turned back and asked with concern. He understands Oberen's abilities.

Oberen's face turned even paler, sweat wet his hair again, he smiled reluctantly, and said, "I'm fine, go on." ”

Raikna was a little confused, but didn't think much of it. Oberyen has enough self-protection ability, and if even he can't protect himself, then Lecona can't help much. By this time, the hunter in front had already found the route of Sue's departure and began to speed up to follow it, and Raikna hurriedly followed.

Oberion walked at the end of the line, actually protecting the entire second half of the team. He walked silently, still thinking about the moment that had just passed.

Just as the team was about to track down Sue, Oberen suddenly felt like a needle in his eyebrows. Oberen immediately understood that at this moment, he had been targeted! Just as he was about to activate the protective force field, the pinprick sensation quietly disappeared.

Oberen suddenly understood the message of this aim: "Next time, I will kill you first." ”

In the darkness of the night, Oberen had no way of sensing Sue's location, nor could he trace Sue's whereabouts through the momentary sensation just now. This shows that Sue is outside the limits of his senses. However, with only two short contact times, Su should not be able to guess Oberen's sensing distance, so when he appears next time, he may be locked by Oberen.

After all, Oberen's sensing range is 800 meters.

Under the cover of night, Su was like a smart black cat, traveling at a speed of about ten kilometers. It's not that he can't walk faster, but if he goes faster, the barely closed wounds on his body may burst open and drip a few drops of blood. These few drops of blood were enough to lure the wolf-like hunter behind him and expose his own path. But even then, there will still be impassable terrain on the road ahead, or lurking scavengers that Sue will need to clean up with his hands, which will pull his wounds.

Most of the time, Sue would crouch down and lick off the blood left on the ground with her tongue. He couldn't hear any sound, and there was an unbearable stinging pain in his head all the time, not to mention the pain all over his body. Sue's perception was extremely acute, which meant that the pain he felt was also several times that of ordinary people. When the pain reaches a certain level, it becomes numbness. As a result, his senses and perceptions are dulled. It's just that the sensation on the tip of the tongue has not diminished, and it is able to absorb all the blood back.

Su was determined to save every ounce of physical strength, and he wanted to bring down all the wolves behind him. From the time he can remember, he has often struggled with life and death. Now Su gambled on these wolves, who knew at a glance that they were accustomed to living a superior life, might as well be able to endure pain, fatigue, hunger, and filth.

On the fourth day, the ruins of a sprawling city appeared in front of Raikna. This city is where the underground passage of the N11 base is connected.

By this time he had lost his graceful and slightly arrogant bearing, his eyes were deep-set, his blond hair was disheveled, and clumps were glued to his head. The dark dragoon uniform that was scorched and tattered everywhere was even more dirty, and it was completely unrecognizable in its true color and dark gold ornamentation. Raikna was the same, and the rest of the henchmen were even more embarrassed. Many times they wondered if Su was injured or not, otherwise how could he hold on for so long, almost never stopping? Just a few drops of blood, or even a grain of minced meat, can be found every few tens of kilometers, which gives them confidence again.

Oberen was a little better, his young face was full of sunshine despite the tiredness on his face. No one but himself knew the pressure he was under along the way.

As for Rigore, he was already full of stubble and had a weathered decadent style, but now he just had a longer beard and dirtier clothes, not much different from before.

Lecona sneered and walked towards the city. Oberen grabbed him, frowned, and said, "It seems that this is the battlefield he chose, let's call the headquarters for reinforcements." In such a big city, snipers can cause a lot of trouble. ”

"What are you afraid of! Isn't it just right that the rats finally stopped running away. Raikna's eyes were bloodshot and she looked particularly hideous: "We're all trained in counter-sniping. And a third-order sniper will only have a chance to fire one shot in front of you, won't it? ”

Oberen's eyebrows tightened tighter and tighter, but he couldn't hold Raikna, so he could only follow him towards the city.

To these ten people, the city in front of them was like an incomparably huge monster, staring at them coldly, waiting for the prey to come into its mouth on its own.

Sue sat by the window on the thirtieth floor, indifferently watching the procession cautiously in the street below. He didn't aim, he didn't show murderous intent, and he wasn't ready to take any action, he just just observed, remembering everything. Wait until you're alone, replay it and familiarize yourself with everyone's steps, postures, and even the most insignificant habitual movements. It was for this reason that he did not attract the attention of these acutely sensitive enemies.

For the past 24 hours, Sue has kept approaching them, quickly moving away and re-hiding in the shadows. With his mind, he repeatedly aimed at different enemies, locked onto them, and then disappeared instantly. In this way, he tests the perceptual acuity of his enemies and exerts pressure.

Sue's stamina was rapidly decreasing, but he believed that the enemy's body was depleting faster than him. Their water has been depleted, there is little energy food left, and the main thing is that the enemy does not get effective sleep. Su You walked around them, always waiting for an opportunity to take out the single sentry.

Su did get two chances, but he didn't make a move. The sentry's expression was slightly unnatural, as were the rest of the people who seemed to be members of the team or subordinates, which made Su alert. Although ten people were on the scene, and Su believed that there were no other people in ambush around, he always felt that it was a little strange to win so easily, and the other party was not the one who would make such a mistake. After carefully observing the surrounding terrain and silently calculating all the suitable locations for sniping, Su somewhat understood the opponent's hole cards.

The terrain in the city is complex, and it does not have the conditions for ultra-long-distance sniping in open areas. And around the opponent's two resting places, all the places where long-range sniping can be carried out, the farthest distance is less than 700 meters. This is true both times.

It seems that there must be a person who is good at perception and detection among the other party, and his sensing range should be 700 meters. And this man ...... Sue immediately remembered the gray-haired young man who had stopped what he thought he was going to be shot. He looks delicate, even a little shy, and silently follows the movement of the large army, rarely seeing him express his opinion. However, it was this young man who not only sensed his killing intention, but also stopped the sniper bullet at the last moment!

How many unknown abilities does this gray-haired and gray-eyed young man have?

Another sharp pain hit Su's brain, he withdrew his gaze, held his head with both hands, and his whole body trembled slightly. After about half a minute, the trembling of the body slowly stopped. Sue leaned against the wall, breathing slowly, each breath long, silent. He couldn't do any strenuous movements, because the wolves were not far away, and even the slightest sudden change could attract attention.

At this time, a dull gunshot was faintly heard in the distance, like a deep thunder, booming and rumbling.

Almost at the same time as the gunfire was heard, the servants in the team had already made evasive moves, and Lekona and Oberen took a step to the side before the gunshots.

Only Rigore stood still, continuing to smoke somewhat boredly. If Su was aiming at him, then he thought he would die, and it was useless to hide. If Oberen is willing to save him, and Rigore stays where he is, it can also ease the difficulty for Oberen.

There were only gunshots, no bullets coming.

Raikna accelerated suddenly, and although it was an irregular change of direction, the speed was still palpitating. In the blink of an eye, he found the source of the gunshot, and then stood with a grim face.
