"Want to run?!"

Seeing that the monster was about to escape, I got up from the ground by surprise, and rushed in the direction of the monster's escape, regardless of the rain of bullets behind me.

"Mu Shi'an! What are you doing?! ”

Hu Kunming saw that my entire body was already exposed to the range of the guard company, and shouted in a panic.

"Give me a ceasefire!"

He turned and yelled at the guards and soldiers lined up.

The gunfire died down, but all I could see was the illusory figure ten meters in front of me. A golden light spell formed in his hand, and he threw it towards the back of the monster's heart.

The monster only glanced back at me, and the tentacles around it instantly stretched out, blocking the spell, and it actually resisted my charged blow, and its body disappeared into the night with the help of the recoil brought by the collision.

"Mu Shi'an, what are you doing? Do you know it's dangerous?! ”

I was about to raise my feet and continue chasing, but my clothes were grabbed by a pair of powerful big hands, and Hu Kunming's voice with implicit anger came from behind me.

The pursuing figure was blocked, and I was also angry, and turned around and said:

"Do you know how many more people will die if that youkai escapes?!"

Hu Kunming obviously didn't expect that I would be angry and scolded regardless of the relationship between the elders and children, so he was stunned in place for a few seconds, and said with a little weakness:

"Shi'an, you calm down first, I understand your eagerness to catch this monster, and we want to catch it too. Rest assured, this area is our military jurisdiction, and we have sent additional personnel to conduct a carpet search of the entire area, and we will definitely find that monster. ”

I also realized that I was a little out of control, calmed down, and said:

"Uncle Hu, I know you're worried about my safety, but in front of youkai, there is no personal safety at all. The youkai has escaped, and unless it reappears on its own, it will be difficult to catch it again. Although youkai are not very intelligent, they are much better at judging danger than humans. ”

Hu Kunming let out a long sigh, pointed to the panicked darkness behind me, and said helplessly:

"It's too late to say anything, and it's not easy to find it in the dark of night."

I turned around and stared wistfully at the place where the youkai had disappeared. The ink that had been muddied by the monster had returned to calm, but I knew that in the darkness, there was always a pair of hateful and angry eyes staring at me.

My body gradually relaxed, and I knew that in this situation, trying to catch this monster that was harming all beings was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, but I was a little unwilling, and this monster would escape from my hands unscathed.

"Shi'an, when it dawns, we will start a search, don't worry too much." Hu Kunming walked up and patted me on the shoulder, and said comfortingly, "The top priority now is to treat those wounded soldiers." ”

I looked up, looked at the darkness behind me that devoured all light, pointed to the military Humvee parked on the side of the road, and said:

"Let's go."

Hu Kunming nodded, put his hand on my shoulder, and led me back to the driveway step by step.

Before he could get there, a soldier wearing combat camouflage ran to Hu Kunming in small steps, stood up straight, respectfully saluted, and reported in a sonorous and powerful manner:

"Report! Yang Shuangquan, lieutenant of the guard company of the Bingcheng Operational Base of the Northern China Military Region, reports to you! ”

Hu Kunming also returned a military salute. Yang Shuangquan lowered his arm, stared at me with some confusion, and asked:

"Chief, who is this?"

"This is Mu Shi'an, a specially hired talent in the army, with the rank of major."

Hu Kunming said undoubtedly.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, there was no mention of the issue of military special appointments, let alone the ranks that did not exist at all. However, soldiers attach great importance to military ranks, and the army has always been the final word of the officials, even if the soldiers under them are not satisfied with the commander's orders of 10,000, they have to carry it out. Therefore, in order not to let the soldiers of this guard company look down on me, Hu Kunming casually said nonsense.

But the effect is not bad, Yang Shuangquan's originally somewhat contemptuous eyes instantly became respectful, turned around and saluted me again, and said loudly:

"Hello Chief!"

In order to cooperate with Hu Kunming's acting, I also returned the courtesy like a cat.

"Chief, what kind of creature did we fire at just now? Why was it possible to escape under such heavy fire? ”

Yang Shuangquan didn't know what the commander had ordered to attack just now, but he was quite surprised that it could retreat from the bullet, so he asked Hu Kunming.

Hu Kunming only replied briefly with four words:

"Military secrets."

Yang Shuangquan also understood what these four words meant, so he no longer asked, but stepped aside, held his chest up, and stood up straight.

"Xiao Wang, can the car still drive?"

Hu Kunming turned his head to Xiao Wang, the guard who had been following behind him, and asked.

Xiao Wang stuffed the pistol he was holding back into his holster, straightened up, and replied loudly:

"Report to the chief, there is no big breakdown in the vehicle!"

Hu Kunming waved his hand and ordered:

"Get in the car."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed my back:

"Shi'an, we have to hurry to the hospital, we have been delayed for an hour, and we don't know what the situation over there is."

"Good!"

I no longer dwelled on the fact that the youkai had escaped, and replied without hesitation.

"Xiao Yang, stay vigilant, we will rush to the army hospital now."

Hu Kunming turned around again and issued the next order in an orderly manner.

"Yes!"

Yang Shuangquan flashed to the side of the car and saluted.

"Let's go!"

Hu Kunming got into the car, knocked on the soundproof glass separating the front and rear compartments, and motioned for Xiao Wang to move on.

The huge Humvee slowly started under the watchful eyes of two companies of guards on the side of the road, and drove quickly along the path where there was no end.

After nearly an hour of progress on the dirt and gravel path, I gradually saw the lights of the building. Hu Kunming leaned against the car window, but lit a cigarette again, staring at the starry night sky with some melancholy.

"Uncle Hu, what's wrong? Worried about the safety of those fighters? ”

I noticed that Hu Kunming's mood was a little low, and asked tentatively.

"Not exactly," Hu Kunming took a puff of his cigarette and replied vaguely, "I just remembered what happened many years ago, and that incident is too similar to what I encountered today." ”

His words caught my attention, could it be that a long time ago, that kind of monster appeared in the northern part of China?

"This youkai has appeared before?"

I tried again.

Hu Kunming raised his somewhat cloudy eyes, looked at me, and said slowly:

"It's not this one, it's this. But I can't say the specific details of the matter, and when the superiors decrypt it, you will naturally know. ”

The military has extremely strict jurisdiction over confidential files, so I stopped asking questions and sat back in my seat. I searched through all the information of the monsters I had seen in my mind, but I really didn't find the specific information of this strange creature today.

"It's a real headache."

I muttered to myself.

The car finally drove back to the city, and the number of vehicles on the road gradually increased, even though it was two o'clock in the night, the ice city, as the provincial capital, was still brightly lit.

"Shi'an, haven't you been here?"

Hu Kunming said as if he wanted to relieve the heavy atmosphere in the car.

I nodded. Indeed, this is the first time I have come to the provincial capital, I used to live in Danjiang when I was lazy, and my friends from childhood to adulthood also lived in Danjiang, so I didn't have much chance to come to Bingcheng. Later, when I went to college, my family was also cheap, and I bought a train from Danjiang to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and there was no turning point to come to Bingcheng to take a plane.

"If there is no such thing, uncle must take you to have a good time."

Hu Kunming spoke again.

I also sighed and said helplessly:

"It's a pity, there are still a lot of things to deal with in front of you, so when you are really free, let's play again."

Just as he was talking, the car slowly stopped in front of a magnificent building, with a few elegant characters written on the door, but it was the Huaxia Bingcheng Military Hospital. When the two soldiers standing guard saw the license plate, they rushed up, saluted the window, and opened the door for us.

"Chief."

"Chief."

"How's it going?"

Hu Kunming asked straight to the point.

"Report to the chief, the condition of those comrades is very bad, one of them has shown an extremely violent tendency to attack, and now he has been isolated by our guards, but the doctor can't get in, so he can only wait for his condition to improve a little. The Grand Commander of the Military Region already knows the situation here, and he has appointed you as the person in charge of this time. ”

A sentry replied.

Hu Kunming turned his head and gave me a puzzled look.

"It sounds bad, it's going faster than I expected, but I'll have to wait until I actually see the patient."

Hearing the sentry's report, my brow furrowed involuntarily. According to common sense, even if there are symptoms of being eroded by demonic energy, it should take another two or three days before the tendency to become aggressive. Now that this soldier has reached the point where he needs to be quarantined so quickly, it seems that the mana of this monster is not shallow.

Hu Kunming nodded, motioned to one of the sentinels, and ordered:

"You, take him to the quarantine soldier's ward immediately, notify all those in charge to be in place, I want to hold an emergency meeting!"

"Yes!"

The sentry replied aloud.

"Shi'an, please be sure to pull those comrades back from the hands of that thing, please!"

Hu Kunming said with some pleading, it seems that he really regards these soldiers who were born and died as his brothers.

"Uncle Hu, don't worry, I have always admired the soldiers, it turned out that they were guarding us, and now it is my turn to protect them."

Hu Kunming nodded with satisfaction and motioned for the sentry to take me to the ward.
