Volume IV, Chapter 5, The Flood, October 2117

It is unknown how the three members of the Smith family were captured, but one thing is certain, the process of their removal went smoothly, there was no fight, no struggle, and everything at the scene of the crime was neatly arranged. Xu Xiaoting inspected the room, and Smith's shotgun was hanging on the wall and had not been used. The absence of shotgun ammunition indicates that there is no consideration for ready access. (If someone in the family goes missing,) Xu Xiaoting thought, (Then, before the police arrive, you should have guns ready to deal with danger...... )

Xu Xiaoting carefully inspected the footprints on the floor again, and there were indeed no traces of a fight. (Are they obedient, waiting for something to take them away?) An incredible idea popped into Xu Xiaoting's mind. In fact, if you think about it, this situation is not so unbelievable, because if you use neurotoxin or poison gas to anesthetize the Smith family, and then kidnap them, you will not encounter any resistance. Although there is no record of mutants capable of producing nerve gas, the possibility of mutants committing crimes cannot be completely ruled out.

Xu Xiaoting was inspecting the farm and thinking about the process of committing the crime, when she suddenly heard rumbling thunder...... No, it's not thunder, it's the rumbling sound of a plane flying through the sky. The sound was so loud that it seemed that even the earth shook with it.

Xu Xiaoting hurriedly walked to a window on the second floor of the farmhouse, she looked for prestige, and saw three points of light in the sky that were moving away. It was just three flying machines flying at low altitude, and from the speed at which it was far away, it should have been a jet, and it was a military aircraft flying in formation.

(What happened?) Xu Xiaoting exclaimed. In the past few months since country A fell into an abnormal state, military helicopter sorties have been common, but the dispatch of jet planes is the first time Xu Xiaoting has seen it in person.

Soon after the plane flew away, Xu Xiaoting preliminarily completed the investigation of the crime scene, and then she returned to Englewood, found a charging and maintenance station, charged the stand-in robot, and rested. And she herself has been working for more than 10 hours in a row at this time, feeling very sleepy and has to sleep well.

Country C, TJ City Stand-in Operation Center, Sima Aya opened the door of the stand-in operation container, walked out of the container, and soon after taking a bath, she fell asleep peacefully. Sima Aya didn't know that while she was asleep, the moment three jet fighters flew over her head on the other side of the ocean, a fierce battle had begun.

October 15, Raccoon City. Raccoon, the closest city to the anthill, of course, the general population does not know this, they do not know that the anthill exists. What the general public knows is that in the city of raccoon, there have been many cases of missing residents in recent times, and there are more cases than any other town, which is why the army of country A is stationed in raccoon. In total, more than 2,000 stand-in robots, more than 200 officers and soldiers, and it is said that there are also 2 scientists. When the battle began, the troops had been stationed in Raccoon for just two days.

At 3 a.m. on October 15, the city of Raccoon was overcast with thunder and lightning, and the outline of the city's buildings flashed in view. Lightning, like a white sword slashed from the sky, reveals the magnificent power of nature. In the dazzling light of lightning, the lights of the city seemed so weak and helpless, like candles flickering in the wind.

When patrolling to the eastern outskirts of the city, two armored vehicles spotted an anomaly. In the distance, to the east of the plains, something was waving on the horizon, like black waves surging on the horizon.

The shaking of the earth gradually became apparent, and it was clear that it had something to do with the fluctuation.

The thunderstorm was almost over, but the commander of the patrol car was still annoyed, because, if it weren't for the thunderstorm, they would have noticed the anomaly on the horizon long ago.

(What is a horizon?) Everyone was thinking that the patrolmen had never had such an experience, and the first thing that came to their mind was the shock wave pushed by a nuclear explosion on the plains.

At an observation post on the top of the armored car, a patrol robot adjusts the focus of the telescope to make it see more clearly. The black waves in the distance gradually took on details, looking like herds of bison, moving rapidly.

"Damn it!" The patrolman scolded, "It's not a blaster - they're going to hit us." ”

"They...... What are they? The captain of the patrol car on the walkie-talkie asked.

"I can't see clearly, but it's supposed to be a bison."

"Here tmnd is the United States of A, and it's not the African savannah, where did the bison come from?" Another scolded from the walkie-talkie, "You can see it and report it." ”

At the same time, the two patrol cars had begun to retreat at full speed behind them, towards the city, in order to reduce their relative speed when they encountered the "bison herd". Of course, with the tonnage of the armored vehicle, it was impossible for the bison to overturn it, and the patrol car retreated only to avoid unnecessary hits and scratches from the bison herd.

"Ready, incendiary bombs, two shots! At a distance of 10 yards, the ground is directly behind the firing vehicle. "After communicating with the command, the commander of the armored car gave the gunner an order to prepare the gunners. The gunner knew that the commander wanted to light two fires to keep the herd out of the armored vehicle.

"The radar shows that after 50 seconds, the bison herd will catch up with my car." The driver shouted on the communication channel, "Shit thing, how are they so fast?" We had a 70-yard retreat! ”

"It's 1.6 miles from the city, and we can get back to the city before they catch up with us." The commander said firmly, "Don't worry, everyone, concentrate, I have already applied for artillery support." ”

In fact, in the two patrol cars, only the commander is a human, and the other crew members are stand-in robots, so, in fact, only the commander himself should be really worried about his safety.

When the commander of the vehicle applied to the command for artillery support, the command once questioned the observation of the patrol car: Bison? The American bison was almost extinct 20 years ago, but now some claim to have observed more than 20,000 bison! Did you take a whisky bath?

"Certainly not bison! I'm just saying they're like bison, and I don't know what they are!" After a while, the commander quarreled with the command again. It was at this moment that the scouts finally saw the true face of the "Bison".

The hideous bones peeked through their skin, a creature that immediately denied that they were bison. Fangs, claws, and glowing green eyes. "They...... They have six eyes. The scout exclaimed, "Looks, like...... Cerberus. ”

(Cerberus?) Fart! The commander immediately switched the scout's perspective to the screen in front of him, and at this point, he realized that the scout's description was quite accurate, and if it was the commander himself, he would also think that those things were Cerberus. Still, a dog the size of a bison was incredulous.

Already close, the patrol car fired incendiary grenades, but the damn monsters ignored the majestic flames burning on the ground in front of them and went straight through the incendiary fires.

"They're not afraid of fire?" Someone asked? Shouldn't it? Wolves are also afraid of fire, but isn't it fire that wild animals are most afraid of?

At this time, behind the patrol car, four or five balls of light flashed, which was the support artillery fire fell into the "herd", and the moment the ball of light flashed, it was faintly visible that a Cerberus was blown into the air.

"Yo fire! Hit a. The scouts of the patrol car saw this scene and roared excitedly.

Immediately, more balls of light flashed in the herd, and more monsters were blown into the air, but the speed of the "herd" did not slow down in the slightest. Soon, in the direction of the retreat of the patrol car, the first building appeared, and the driver immediately slowed down and turned and went around the back of the building, hoping to use the building as a cover to avoid the frontal impact of the "herd".

The second of the two patrol cars did not have time to go around the rear of the building. In just two seconds, the two cars were drowned in the impact of the flood beast.

The two cars could no longer visually detect each other, and visual confirmation was interrupted. There were only countless black shadows flashing in the field of vision outside the car, and the violent earthquake made it even more difficult to see their details.

Robots, Humans...... Everyone in the car fastened their safety belts, and the only thing left in the captain's ears was the chatter of teeth.
