Chapter 158: Hostage
Meng Jia took a breath and looked at the man in the trench coat in the distance, the strange man twenty meters away on the left, and the woman who barely existed.
Bertasha exhaled and nodded to the priest not far away, "It's okay, Father Bello." ”
The blind priest smiled and said, "It's nothing, you are our commander." If the Commander were to die here, we would be very distressed. I don't want to hear the Inquisition people whispering in my ears that would interfere with my communication with the Lord. ”
There was a faint red light around Bertasha as Father Belo removed the energy shield that protected her.
The xenomorph attack just now came very suddenly.
It wasn't until the opponent's missiles were lifted into the air that the people on board were shocked to realize that they had been attacked.
The next three helicopters were blown into fireballs, and the captain and support staff were killed in the explosion. Aside from the Black Falcon, only Betasha survived.
She walked forward, and Father Belo followed in her footsteps, protecting her.
On that side, Byron the vampire and Luther the madman have slaughtered all the xenos, and now only Benga, who is confronting Lori, is left.
Betasha stopped beside a corpse, she looked at the corpse's mutated hands, frowned slightly, and said, "There are xenos here, maybe they are also here for that woman." ”
Then he shouted: "Lori, don't kill him, live him." ”
"You're so troublesome." The short-haired woman stood up straight, and the murderous aura on her body was not as strong as just now. The reason is simple, Betasha wants to live.
Luther and Byron stood at a distance, seemingly unintended.
The vampire sat on a tree stump, his ornate revolver spinning in his fingers. He grinned and looked ahead, and if Banga wanted to run, he would shoot the xenomorph's leg.
Lori suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Bangladesh heard only the faint sound of the air shaking.
Then there was a sudden pain in the heel of his right leg, and the leg lost sensation, and the whole person fell to his knees.
Lori reappeared in her place, as if she hadn't made any moves, except for some blood on her dagger.
"Black Falcon!" Bangladesh seems to have thought of something.
Betasha walked towards Benga and stopped ten meters behind Lori. This position Lori can come to the rescue at any time, if Benga wants to do anything.
"To answer my question, why did you come here, and by whom did you appoint you?" Betasha squinted at him, slightly ironic.
Meng Jia laughed: "Madam Commander, this is a boring question, you know very well why we are here. ”
Bertasha raised her eyebrows: "You are really for that woman!" ”
"Now, what about her?"
Benga spread his hands: "Of course it is not in our hands, otherwise, we are already at sea." ”
Betasha nodded: "So, who of you are the people?" ”
"Let's talk about it first, and tell you what's in it."
"Of course, tell me the answer, and I can have them cut off your head."
"You're so generous." Meng Jia sneered, "Since telling you the answer is also a death, why should I say it." ”
"Because if you don't say it, these people have a way to torture you. They are experts in this area, after all, they are essentially the same thing as you, so they know very well what kind of torture can make you feel pain and live worse than death. ”
Byron grinned and said to the madman not far away, "I just like the straightforward temper of our commander. ”
Luther snorted, "I'll cut off her head when I have the chance." ”
Byron laughed and said, "That corpse must be left to me, such a beauty, it is really unwilling not to taste her taste." ”
Listening to their conversation, Meng Jia smiled and said, "It seems that you are far from being united." ”
"You don't have to worry about that, even if tomorrow I'll die at their hands. But tonight, they'll have to listen to me. Betasha didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two men, and her face didn't change in the slightest.
"Well, I'm telling you, it's ......"
Seeing that Benga was about to say the answer, Betasha couldn't help but lean forward a little. At this moment, Meng Jia suddenly raised his right hand, and the harpoon-like sharp blade at the end of his arm suddenly burst out, connecting with the pink flesh bundle at his arm, and stabbed at Betasha quickly!
Byron raised his hand and fired a shot, which deflected it with a sharp edge in the middle.
Seeing that he couldn't stop the sharp blade, Luther threw his square-headed giant blade directly, and the giant blade shoveled past Meng Jia's body, cutting off the part above his chest.
The sharp blade sliced past Bertasha's side, tearing a thin slit in her arm and sticking diagonally into the ground.
Xiao Jiu pushed open the lid of an oil tank, which was removed from the tanker. Shine a flashlight into it, where is there any gasoline in it, only some drinking water. She kicked the tank a few times and sat down in frustration.
She had checked several oil cans, which contained either canned food or drinking water like this. In that case, there is really no fuel at all.
"Bastard!"
The corpses in the factory are gone, leaving only a large amount of blood, presumably after they left, they were smelled by the new xenomorphs wandering in the city and devoured the corpses.
Suddenly, a light flashed outside the factory.
Xiao Jiu hurriedly hid in the dark, looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on an oil tank behind him.
There are also some oil drums, about a hundred or ten, and many of them are empty, and it would be very difficult to find them even if they were opened one by one.
She climbed onto the tank with the drinking water, and the girl jumped into the water, holding the edge with both hands to keep herself from sinking.
She looked at the door.
The lights at the gate are getting brighter and brighter.
Outside the factory gate, several people walked over.
It was Betasha and his party.
"Are you sure it's here?" Betasha looked at Byron in disbelief.
"There's no wrong with that, there's a strong bloody smell here, and it's still fresh." Byron the vampire said confidently.
The killer Lori also chimed in: "Now we have no logistics, we can only rely on him to search." ”
Byron looked at her, his pale face more like a vampire in the light.
Not long after entering the city, Byron smelled the strong smell of blood, so they tracked it all the way to the factory in front of them, hoping to find some clues inside.
After a while, the door of the factory was pushed open by Luther, and the big man thrust the square-headed blade into the ground, sat down by the door, and said, "I won't go in with you." ”
Betasha did not object, and walked into the factory with several others. She raised the flashlight, and the light fell to the ground, and sure enough, she saw that there were dried blood stains, and it was hard for Byron to smell the blood here from a long distance, and Betasha didn't smell anything.
"It's too dark, Father Bello."
The priest nodded, raised his hand slightly, and three fireballs spawned and floated into the air and scattered.
Suddenly, most of the factory was lit up by firelight.
Betasha looked around.
In the depths of the factory, Xiao Jiu, who was hiding in the oil tank, was startled, and she quickly retracted her head, revealing only her eyes. She didn't dare to look at Bertasha directly, for fear that her gaze would cause them to react.
Xiao Jiu secretly said in his heart that it was not good.
The people brought by Bertasha this time knew at a glance that it was not simple, they all had different appearances, and it was likely that they were black falcons, not night owls.
If it's a black falcon.
Xiao Jiu didn't dare to think about it.
She had only heard that there were some monsters called black falcons in the night owls, but these guys rarely went out, but she didn't expect that this time Betasha actually brought them out, it seems that in order to find her, the night owls have also invested a lot of money.
On the other side of the factory, Betasha squatted down, scraped the blood stains on the ground with her hand, put it between her nose and sniffed it, pinched her fingers and said, "There are still many dead." ”
She found some more meat scraps and broken bones, and shook her head, "It looks like this is a new type of xenomorph slaughtering here, but this is not a lair of new xenos. ”
At this moment, Byron suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed, "Look over there." ”
He walked to a window, which was already shattered, and there was a large blood stain nearby. The vampire said, "Judging from the traces, it should be someone who was in a hurry to escape from the factory and was killed by something outside." ”
"Who are gathered here? And what killed them. Betasha stood up, looked around, and checked several places.
Betasha stopped suddenly, and in front of her was a bottle. She crouched down, she didn't have to deliberately smell it, it was gasoline.
"Gasoline?" The priest approached and seemed to have guessed this.
"Looks like that woman has been here." Betasha stood up, vaguely understanding.
Byron thought for a moment and said, "You mean, she's gathering fuel so she can go to sea?" ”
"That's right, she left those people and seemed to be going to find something alone?"
"Did she get the nautical chart?"
"But what about her?"
Betasha didn't speak, but she looked at the factory and smiled slyly.
With an explosion, the factory was instantly shrouded in flames, and after Betasha and the others left, Xiao Jiu ran out with a dirty face, coughing again and again.
She looked around, hurriedly left the factory, and stopped at a quiet intersection. Leaning against the high wall, she sat down a little weakly.
She suddenly looked up sharply, and saw a tall and thin figure sitting on the wall, one leg dangling under the wall.
This man was Byron.
Xiao Jiu was startled, got up, and was about to run.
"My marksmanship is pretty good, especially good at long-range sniping. Would you like to give it a try? ”
She looked at the black falcon above, gritted her teeth, and said, "It's not on me. ”
"Something? What is it? Byron patted his head, "Oh, what do you think my commander is looking for?" But I don't need it. And I don't want to kill you, or I'll have to go back to that place. ”
"And what do you want to do?"
Byron stood up, pointed to the distance and said, "Run." Use all your means to get away. ”
"I, Luther, and Father Priest don't want to kill you yet. But there's a guy among us named Lori who doesn't have the patience. So you'd better not let her bump into it. ”
With that, Byron turned and jumped off the wall.
When Xiao Jiu climbed the wall, he could still be seen anywhere.
The sun fell on Lin Ci's face.
At the moment he was hanging on a piece of driftwood, and Wellington was not far from him. As if to wake up to the sun, Wellington moved.
"You're awake." Wellington walked up to him.
"I found an island."
Lin Ci looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, a white spot appeared on the sea in the distance, which was a good sign for them who had been drifting for a day and a night.
"No......," Lin Ci said, "you see, that thing is getting bigger and bigger, and even if we float to the island, it won't be so fast." ”
Wellington shielded the sunlight with his hand, and sure enough, the white dot in the distance kept getting bigger.
"No, no, that's not an island, it's a boat." Wellington exclaimed excitedly, "It's the Sally." ”
Lin Ci turned around, leaned his back against the driftwood and let the whole person lay flat on the sea. After a day of drifting on the sea, only this time is the most pleasant.
More than an hour later, they were already lying on the deck, Zhao Yu brought them two bottles of water, and the two of them drank them clean.
Wellington hugged the bottle and said, "Until today, for the first time, I felt that water tasted better than wine." ”
Lin Ci next to him couldn't help laughing.
The two of them lay down for a moment, regaining some strength, before getting up from the deck.
Winnie turned around and said, "I'm going to prepare some food for them, they've been floating for so long, their strength should be bottoming out." ”
"I'm here to help." Twilight followed her and left the deck.
After dinner, Alice went to the terrace of the yacht, where the two men were drinking, and when they saw Alice, they both warmly beckoned her to come and sit down together. Alice also sat down in another chair generously and generously.
One of them, known as the two dogs, opened a bottle of red wine for Alice.
Ergouzi and the other man are ordinary people who escaped from Green Harbor with Chen Hu, their combat effectiveness is very average, but they are willing to do some tiring and dirty work on the ship. Especially the maintenance of the engine room, they have always been doing the cleaning of the yacht, but they are a little familiar with Alice.
The other is called Gao Ming, but his skills are not very clever. He is honest and water-based, but he doesn't like to talk.
The two of them looked at the ocean in the distance, and suddenly, Gao Ming said "huh".
"What's wrong?" Ergouzi asked hurriedly.
"I feel like I've seen someone."
"Where?"
"At sea."
"There's a ship?"
"Nope." Gao Ming looked at the sea, the moonlight was not bad tonight, and the sea was shining with silver light. If there is to have a ship, I have seen it a long time ago.
Ergouzi looked at it and said, "You're dazzled, there is no boat, where is the person from, is it possible that the person can still walk on the sea?" ”
Gao Ming touched his head, sat down and said, "Yes, I should be dazzled." ”
Suddenly, he noticed that his vision suddenly turned up, as if a man was floating up to the sky, and he looked down at the deck and saw Alice looking at him with a look of astonishment.
The second dog wanted to say why he knocked over the basin, but he found that he couldn't speak.
Then the world flipped in his eyes, and he suddenly saw a headless body on top, with blood spurting from the headless neck.
Whose body is that.
It was his last thought.
Alice finally let out a scream, and she saw that there was a sudden figure behind Ergouzi and Gao Ming.
It was an aristocratic gentleman in a tuxedo and a tall hat.
Alice could see clearly, he had a blue beard, and he looked a little funny.
At this time, Gao Ming reacted.
He turned his head to look.
But a crutch suddenly popped out of his chest, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and the crutches were collected a little.
Gao Ming looked at a teacup-sized hole in his chest, stared and fell down.
It was only then that Alice's cries echoed throughout the yacht.
