This strange situation is the first time I've seen it, this is less than half an hour apart, two cities hundreds of kilometers apart at the same time to report the traces of the youkai, if this is the same youkai, then it is moving too fast.

"Shi'an, what should I do?"

Hu Kunming was uncertain about the monster, so he had to turn his head and ask.

"Let's go to the nearest one first!"

I said it immediately.

Now no one dares to guarantee whether this is one monster or two monsters, no matter what, both sides have to take care of it, even if they choose to go to Danjiang to deal with the monster matter first, sooner or later they will have to return to the ice city, it is better to deal with the problem of the ice city first, all the way down, straight to Danjiang.

"You'd better send more men to Danjiang, if I'm not there, the only ones who can stop it for the time being are your army."

I added.

Hu Kunming nodded, and took out his satellite phone again. Today, I don't know how many orders this colonel-level officer has issued.

He gave orders behind me, and I leaned against the window and watched the crowd of people coming and going in the ice city at noon. The place where the car drove was the most prosperous commercial area in the entire ice city, and it was the National Day holiday, and the crowds on the street were shoulder to shoulder. A girl is coquettish to her boyfriend, trying to buy the bright dress in the window, while the boy looks at his girlfriend with a doting face, smiling and nodding.

I thought of Xun Qingzi again.

It may be that in the face of difficulties and irritability, people are especially prone to think of the person they care about the most. Since we rescued her from the building, we haven't been back to where we were at the beginning. At the beginning, she and I were also recognized as a couple when we were shopping, and her shy appearance with a flushed face still appears in my dreams, reaching out to grab that beautiful face, but every time it disappears at the moment of touching.

The couple walked into the store, the car drove off the block, and Hu Kunming's voice pulled me back to reality:

"Shi'an, we'll be at the base soon, what do you need us to prepare for you?"

I fixed my mind fluctuating because I thought of Xun Qingzi, shook my head, and replied:

"No, if you do encounter that youkai, you just need to make sure that you can't let it escape from our lockdown zone."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Hu Kunming said with an oath.

The carriage was quiet again.

After more than ten minutes, the car finally turned onto the path from which it came. It didn't take long to drive before it was stopped by a heavy armored vehicle in the middle of the road. A soldier with an extremely solemn face stepped forward and opened the car door for Hu Kunming.

"Hello Chief!"

Hu Kunming nodded and saluted back, but stood in place and asked:

"What's going on inside?"

"Chief of the report, we have now set up an encirclement of the area where the target appeared, but we have not sent personnel into it, so it is not yet possible to determine the exact location of the target. You are now in the Temporary General Command, and you have been appointed by the Grand Commander of the Military District as the head of the operation. ”

The soldier reported aloud.

Hu Kunming was also unambiguous, pointing to a large finger chariot at the far end, signaling to go over first.

The soldiers turned around and returned to the team, and Hu Kunming and I boarded the heavily armored chariot, among which there were already several soldiers in charge of monitoring and communications, and when they saw Hu Kunming, they all stood up respectfully and saluted.

Hu Kunming waved his hand, motioned for them to return to their posts, pulled me to sit at a computer desk, took the folder handed by the soldier behind him, and said earnestly:

"Shi'an, this is a topographic map of our blockade area, you analyze it, where do you think that monster is most likely to appear."

I took the brown paper folder, which contained a military map, contour lines and scales marked with great clarity.

I took a quick glance and saw that the blockade area was mostly woods and small streams, and it was really hard to determine the location of the youkai on the map.

"I'm really sure about that, I'll have to go in before I know for sure."

I'll be honest.

Hu Kunming's face became solemn. Obviously, he didn't want me to take the risk.

"Xiao Li, what did you find in the images transmitted by the drone?"

He didn't answer me, but turned to the soldier behind him.

The soldier, known as Xiao Li, stood up and reported:

"Chief of Report, the creature is not visible in the drone imagery. We'll try to get closer. ”

"Approach immediately, find out the location of that thing, report immediately!"

"Yes!"

The monsters on the Danjiang side didn't know what the situation was, so I was a little anxious, and said anxiously to Hu Kunming:

"Uncle Hu, let me in, it's not something I, a warlock, should do when I encounter a monster and shrink behind the army!"

Hu Kunming, who was originally very talkative, shook his head resolutely at this time, and said in a deep voice without doubt:

"No, if you encounter a monster by yourself, I will naturally not care about you, but you are now helping our army solve the problem, and the army will always be the first to rush forward! I can't let you take that risk. ”

"But ......"

"Don't do it, if the army can't solve it, I naturally won't stop you!"

I wanted to argue something, but was interrupted by Hu Kunming. Looking at his resolute expression, I was speechless for a while.

Hu Kunming gently patted me on the shoulder, stood up, grabbed the intercom device on the wall, and commanded into it:

"Everybody listen to my commands, start now, like shrinking within the encirclement. In a group of five, the target's track is immediately reported, and the gun is allowed to shoot when his life is threatened! ”

There was a sound of footsteps moving outside the car, and I leaned down on one of the few windows of the armored finger chariot and looked out, except for a few soldiers who had stayed on guard, but the rest had rushed into the area where the monster was active.

No, it's not the way to go.

Hu Kunming may not know the abilities of that monster, but I know it very well. From last night's battle, it can be seen that this is not a simple youkai, if it is really compared, it must be stronger than the ghoul in the dissecting building. Although these soldiers are well-trained special operations officers and soldiers, the kind of bullets they use can't hurt the monster, so sending them in is equivalent to giving the monster some meat targets for hand-to-hand combat.

"Uncle Hu, let me in!"

I shouted. I can't watch these soldiers my size die in the claws of the monster because of my inaction.

Hu Kunming was also irritable, and turned around and shouted angrily:

"I said no!"

"Chief! Our drones are under attack! ”

Before he could answer, Xiao Li, who was sitting in front of the electronic monitoring screen, shouted.

Hu Kunming and I rushed to the front of the electronic screen at the same time, and the electronic screen, which was originally a bird's-eye view, had turned into a snowflake-shaped spot of light.

"Can you bring up the last moment before the crash?"

Hu Kunming was the chief after all, so he quickly calmed down and asked.

Xiao Li sat back in his place and operated on the keyboard a few times, and the image of the drone a few minutes ago reappeared on the electronic display.

At that time, the drone was still in a very high position in the air, and from the picture, the appearance of this place was not much different from the ordinary wilderness, but some areas were shaded by trees, and it was impossible to see what it looked like. A few seconds later, it should be Xiao Li who received Hu Kunming's order and controlled the drone to descend slowly, and some originally unclear stones and depressions on the ground became clear as the drone continued to fall. Everything looks extremely ordinary.

Suddenly, the drone seemed to have been baptized by a strong wind, and it deflected heavily towards it, and then returned to normal, Xiao Li should have thought that this was just a strong wind impact, and did not report it to Hu Kunming.

Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, a black mist suddenly appeared in front of the camera, Xiao Li manipulated to avoid this fog that obscured his vision, but he didn't expect dozens of thick spike-like objects to shoot out from the inky air mass, and the drone instantly lost its balance and fell straight to the ground, and then the electronic screen turned into the snowflake-like image we saw.

"Where was the drone at the time of the accident?"

Hu Kunming wiped the unshaved beard on his chin and asked.

Xiao Li called up the gray radar map on the computer, and pulled out a map from the cabinet on one side, and mapped it against the radar map.

"Report chief, it should be in this position."

Within a minute, Xiao Li drew a circle on the map, held the map in front of Hu Kunming with both hands, and reported.

Hu Kunming took it, but he didn't look at it, but stuffed it directly into my hand.

"Shi'an, take a look."

I took it, and the map was exactly the same as the one Hu Kunming had given me for the first time, except for a very conspicuous scarlet sign in a densely wooded place.

"How high was the drone at that time?"

I asked.

"Twenty meters."

At a height of twenty meters, you can be shot down by that monster. If you read it right, the one who dealt the fatal blow to the drone was the barbs covered in the monster's body. A barb that can reach 20 meters is a bit exaggerated.

This is really a ruthless character.

"Shi'an, how's it going? Is that the thing? ”

Hu Kunming saw that I didn't speak for a long time, and asked a little anxiously.

I nodded and said solemnly:

"Judging from the image of the drone, it is really the monster, but ...... Its mana strength was beyond my expectations. ”

Hu Kunming's face also became heavy, since I said that the monster's mana exceeded my expectations, it means that this monster is really an extremely powerful existence.

"Are you sure?"

He was silent for a long time before asking.

"I don't know."

"Report! Report! A small squad was attacked by non-creatures, calling for reinforcements, the location was ......"

A soldier's somewhat frightened voice came over the intercom, mixed with the sound of gunfire.

Hu Kunming grabbed the communication microphone and shouted with some trembling:

"Everyone! Move in the direction of a squad! Feel free to fire! Feel free to fire! ”

Without saying a word, I pushed open the door of the chariot and rushed towards the cordoned off area.
