Chapter 1: The Final Mission

Verse 9: Phantom, Phantom Birch Forest (Part I)

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Rushing out of the outer tunnels of the God Factory and the nuclear power plant, Zhang Xiaozhou and Xu Chenfeng returned to the Chernobyl land countryside, and they were greeted by a surprisingly quiet birch forest. There were no enemy soldiers, no additional companions, not even the slightest movement of birds and beasts in the forest. But the more peaceful it was, the more uncomfortable it made the three of them feel inappropriate, as if a moment of tranquility before the storm could thunder at any time, stripping away all disguises.

Ukraine is a mid-to-high latitude region, with long daylight hours in summer, and at 6 p.m., there is still no sign of darkness coming. Armed dragonflies can continue to take to the skies, but it is undoubtedly a risk to break away from the natural shelter of dense forests and put themselves in an open field without knowing the situation of friend or foe. Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng unloaded the helicopter and decided to leave this dilapidated area in the way they were most familiar with. As long as you return to the Dnieper, the final mission will be completed even if there are casualties and imperfections.

WinD did not express an opinion on this, because he knew that the two junior brothers were good at fighting lightly in complex terrain, and in order to avoid the branches and leaves twisted into the rotor and cause a "crash", he simply adjusted the position of the foot pedal, and also chose to move forward on foot, the reason why he did not abandon the armed dragonfly, in addition to ensuring that the six-barreled machine gun configured above can provide fire support for them with only one "Type 35" high-energy microwave magnetic breaking gun, and can also return to the air when necessary and play their role. In any case, the microlattice-like material has almost zero weight and does not bring unnecessary burden.

The most worrying thing at the moment is that the communication with E Lianhua Brigade cannot be restored, which makes WinD vaguely feel that not all the situation is under the control of its own people. Chen Feng tried to call Luo Feifei and Qin Huang through the ear drum conduction system, but there was no signal response, if it was not too far away, it could only be because of interference. Xiao Zhou kept clenching the beam sword in his hand, the kind of uneasiness and apprehension that followed him, as if he was in danger at all times, and he didn't dare to relax a little. Han Wu's words before the execution, Xiao Zhou did not mention it to anyone, including Chen Feng, but it was like a fish in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow. Suddenly, I had a hunch that maybe Senior Sister RaiN only knew that the team was mixed with spies, but she didn't know the complexity of the whole thing and the whole truth behind it. All the doubts and anxieties at the scene evolved into a real crisis after WinD found a hint - on the silver branches of the birch trees not far away, there was actually half of a human arm.

"Kremlin Aviation Brigade, Langlov's troops......"

Chen Feng recognized the "double-headed eagle" armband on the stump uniform, but why would they be attacked within their territory, and the U.S. military should not have a rash exchange of fire with the Russian division of the United States for any reason, right? Xiao Zhou took off the severed arm and took a closer look and concluded that the wound was a laceration caused by a sharp pulling or torsion external force, and it was thrown to a high place under the action of inertia in the moment it left the body, and the scattered blood stains were condensed on the crimson carpet paved with wet soil and fallen fruits, which was not so obvious.

"Don't tell me the beast did it." Chen Feng casually said a specious speculation, in exchange for Xiao Zhou's tone of voice, "Don't tell me that FirE and OceaN did it." Of course, Chen Feng didn't think that the murderer was his two brothers with very different personalities and grotesque, and "hehe" was regarded as an affirmation of the sarcasm level of Xiaozhou's joke: "FirE is like a burning desert, and OceaN is cold like an icy abyss, they are all freaks who kill people without blinking." However, if they can end the opponent's life with a single bullet, they will not choose other more complicated methods. Besides, our side did not really tear the skin with the Russian army. ”

"It doesn't matter who or what did it, it's a threat to us! If it's a threat, it's enough to destroy it. "With a sharp weapon in his body, his murderous intent arises, not to mention that what Xiao Zhou is holding now is an indestructible beam of light. WinD doesn't want to do psychological counseling for the angry junior at this time, because he understands that if you hold a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The killing intent of the valley continued to swell, and gradually became cold as the clear and bright blue sky slowly passed.

The mist in the forest rose, as if it was back in the early morning, and once again permeated the entire field of vision, quietly intensifying the surrounding supernatural atmosphere in this land that nourished mutations. The Beidou locator was abnormal, the compass on the handle of the WinD dagger continued to shake, and the mounds in the distance that were a little higher than the ground had passed for the second time, and after nearly two hours, the three of them still couldn't get out of this ethereal birch forest. The line of sight was already dim, and the light in front of the "August 1 41" guide became more and more desolate, and Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng, who had been nervous for a long time, regretted a little, knowing that this was the case, it was better to drive the armed dragonfly directly out of this place, but now, even the way to come can not be found......

The distant horizon bulges one after another, which seems to be a little different from the remains left by the destruction of the house, and when you get closer, you realize that it is actually a cemetery. Most of the inscriptions date from 1986 to 1987, and the homes of the deceased quietly watch over the deserted villages down the hillside, where they lived in paradise, but which have now been lost to history. All that remains is the silent accusation of the man-made catastrophe, in order to tell every visitor that even in peacetime, mankind can do no less harm than war.

Standing in front of a decaying wooden tablet standing in 1943, he took off a silver necklace that was wrapped around it, and after a hundred years of erosion, it had long since turned into black sores, but the Russian name was so profound that it was still so clear. Xiaozhou remembered the poignant love story of the former Soviet Union Patriotic Order winner Pannikako during the Battle of Stalingrad, and couldn't help but look at the dense fog fluttering like snow under the mountain, and a familiar song sounded in his ears:

The sky is still overcast and there are still doves flying, who will prove those love and life without tombstones. The snow was still falling, and the village was still peaceful, and the young people disappeared into the birch forest......

Putting the necklace back in its place, Xiao Zhou turned to all the tombstones and bowed deeply. His young hands have been stained with too much blood, and everyone who died in his own hands, their relatives are also in their own "birch forest", waiting for them to come back. However, he personally deprived them of their little wish to live safely. While you keep digging the graves of others, have you also fallen into it...... Maybe one day, someone else bows for themselves, or maybe there is no day, because he is not qualified to be pitied by anyone. The final task has also come to an end, but isn't it providence that he and his brother are lost in this lonely birch forest?

WinD put his hand on Xiaozhou's shoulder to express comfort, and since the junior brother returned from cleaning up the traitor, his mood has been unusual, and his mood has become more and more strange after setting foot here. Could it be that something is destined to happen here, and everything is just a prelude? Chen Feng naturally noticed the change in his brother a long time ago, but it was important to find a place to live at the moment, this place that looked a little weird, or he couldn't get out today.

The abandoned village at the foot of the mountain is the only option at the moment, and WinD reactivates the male and female rotors, preparing to fly to the village to explore. And a fleeting voice like a hallucination appeared in his mind, but Xiao Zhou pressed down on the body of the senior brother who was about to leave the ground, meaning not to go alone! Chen Feng didn't ask why Xiao Zhou was suddenly nervous and almost nervous, because his expression was extremely serious. At this time, I am willing to unconditionally trust my brother's instincts as always—he can perceive potential dangers.

Raising the "35 Style" in his hand, Chen Feng took a deep breath, and opened the way in front of the "Aegis" gun mount, even if there was no trace of the enemy's existence for the time being, his pace was always highly vigilant. Gradually approaching the entrance of the village, but suddenly kicked a heavy object under his feet, Chen Feng looked down and saw that there was a mutilated corpse again, still from the Kremlin Aviation Brigade. And the more you go to the village, the more Russian remains are found, and even WinD, whose psychological quality can be called the most powerful and tenacious in the "24 solar terms", can hardly suppress the tension in his chest, and the thumb of his right hand subconsciously touches the six-barrel machine gun to fire and twist, ready to meet the bloody baptism at any time.

"Chernobyl can't really have any nuclear radiation variant monsters, look at these bite marks, it doesn't look like a bear!" WinD really can't figure it out, even the elite of the Russian armed forces is not an opponent, what is it that he and his junior brother are facing? The invisible pressure made Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng patrol around with bated breath from time to time, without a word of dialogue between them, but their tactical movements were perfectly coordinated.

After a brief look at the three of them through the dirty glass, Xiaozhou softly pried open the iron lock and walked in cautiously by the beam sword lighting. It's finally safe for the time being, but fortunately there is no body in the house, otherwise it will be awkward to live.

didn't care about tidying up for a while, Xiao Zhou and Chen Feng, who hadn't rested enough for a long time, collapsed in the mess all over the place.

The physical fatigue was slightly relieved, Chen Feng finally had the mood to gossip, and pointed to the "Bayi 41" that was used by Xiaozhou as an emergency light messenger and said, "Don't you need to find a place to charge? Xiao Zhou snorted, how can there be any battery that can meet the energy supply of the beam sword, Chen Feng this guy let himself save it, just say it. WinD tells them to sleep first, and their relatively good spirits are on duty for the first half of the night. The two of them, who urgently needed to replenish their sleep, gladly accepted the kindness of their senior brother, took out their night vision lenses, and after each put one on, they tacitly handed the other to WinD, and WinD, who had not prepared for night battles in advance, did not refuse.

The beam sword went out, and soon, Xiao Zhou fell asleep in a daze, and the illusion came even more quickly......

It's as if you've traveled from one plane to another. In Xiaozhou's eyes, the birch forest was swallowed up by the flood-like desert in just a few seconds, the soil in the forest turned into hot sand, and the green and yellow fallen leaves curled up and spontaneously combusted, and it was suddenly a spark of fire. This crimson scene of flowing flames makes people feel like falling into purgatory.

The heat wave swept the air in front of you and burned the breath on the tip of your nose. At the end of the line of sight, there is a lonely bulge hidden in the sand dunes, is it a grave? The flames and ashes were carried by the wind, and there was nothing else around it except the yellow sand, and the boat could only struggle towards this only goal. In the sea of sand, every time my fallen feet were raised, they were so heavy and painful. I felt like I had walked for a long time, but there was no sign of approaching, and the sweat was dripping, and I was instantly steaming with the hot sand beneath me. Exhausted, Xiaozhou stopped, his elbows resting weakly on his knees, half-squatting and half-kneeling trying to look up into the distance, suffocating and panting into his lungs, filling the dry air in an instant. Is that...... Mirage bar.

The vision gradually blurred, but a female figure appeared, walking towards this direction with real and illusory dance steps. Long black hair, flaming red evening dress, tight and slim, beautiful from a distance, gorgeous almost burning......

"You...... Coming back? ”

The phantom woman lightly picked up the sweat-stained face in front of her, and Xiao Zhou, who was in collapse both physically and mentally, listened to the gentle words, and just wanted to hug her headlong into her arms. But in the blink of an eye, the scene changed again. Before he could see the other party's face clearly, his face exploded like a star, shattering in an instant. Xiao Zhou suddenly got up, and suddenly the flow slowed down, and her eyes flashed with another phantom shadow pounced on her, as well as a clear image of the bright light in the distance behind her. Smoke and sparks flew all over the sky, and the white-robed woman fell into her arms and wept, Xiao Zhou looked down and could only see her dark brown hair and the crimson on her forehead.

"Who are you and why are you sad?"

Vaguely hearing her sobbing reluctant answer, Xiao Zhou was still puzzled, because the name he heard seemed to be "Lucifer...... Fallen Angel, Lucifer? When I looked closely, the "angel" mutant demon in his arms broke free from his arms and opened his bloody mouth that was enough to swallow people alive from beginning to end!

Xiao Zhou's cry from the bottom of his heart woke up Chen Feng beside him, and also woke himself up.

WinD, who was sleepless, was also frightened, but he didn't approach Xiaozhou for the first time, so as not to be accidentally injured by the beam sword he held in his hand unconsciously: "MooN, calm down!" It's just a dream, a nightmare......" The half-black, half-green visual effect between sleepy eyes made Xiaozhou, who suddenly returned to reality, a little frightened and overwhelmed, but fortunately, the words of the senior brother helped him regain his consciousness in time. Hell, you will see a mirage in your dreams. Xiao Zhou wiped away the cold sweat of his eyebrows, calmed his rapid breathing, and after his emotions settled down, a faint sound of squirming first entered his ears.

Xiao Zhou's index finger covered his lips, looking at Chen Feng and WinD, his gaze pointing upward, meaning that there seemed to be some movement on the roof. Chen Feng picked up the microwave gun in his lap and tiptoed to the wall, the moonlight outside the window was picturesque, except for being overly beautiful, there was nothing wrong with it. After receiving the signal from the machine gun in the senior brother's hand to be on standby, Chen Feng opened the door and walked out lightly, while Xiao Zhou rekindled the "Bayi 41" in his hand and followed.

The village under the starry night leans on the evening wind, and the dense fog in the forest fades away, turning into dew drops on the tips of the leaves. After confirming that everything was normal on the roof and around him, Xiao Zhou, who was in a false alarm, shook out the last cigarette, and just wanted to breathe in the purest tranquility of nature, but the fire machine in his pocket did not know where it fell, so he could only use his fingers to hold the cigarette and use the beam sword to catch fire. In Chen Feng's expression of "you are teasing me", most of the cigarettes were directly burned by the high temperature, and if there was no special tactical gloves to protect them, someone's hands would also suffer...... Extremely speechless at Xiao Zhou's brain pumping, feeling that liquid was dripping from the top of his hair, Chen Feng instinctively raised his gun quickly, and while aiming, he also used the shield-shaped reaction force space to block possible threats from directly above. However, apart from the hazy forest leaves, there was nothing else in his eyes. Reaching out and touching the curled bangs in front of the forehead, there is indeed an unknown fishy thick substance adhesion, and the fingertips are immediately contaminated with a foul smell after touching, just like ...... The bodily fluids of some kind of organism. Where did it come from?

The wind blows the leaves, the mist tears, and the thick branches shake suddenly...... Even though neither the naked eye nor the night vision equipment could perceive it, Xiao Zhou still determined by this unusual little movement that something invisible was falling towards Chen Feng, who had put down the "35 type"!

“Shit...”

There was no time to inform the brothers to dodge, Xiaozhou threw away the cigarette butt, and decisively threw the last trump card over Chen Feng's head! The beam sword spun at a rapid pace, rolling and slicing through all visible and invisible obstacles in its path like a gear! In the blink of an eye, the blue liquid poured down like rain, and Chen Feng, who was splashed all over, had not yet figured out the situation, and the "Bayi 41" hovered and fell back after completing the interception mission of the unknown target, and it was about to hit himself, so he had to rush to the "Aegis" block...... The blade of light intersected with the shield of space, and the loud "boom" of the earthquake from another dimension could not hide Chen Feng's scolding when he rushed to the street:

“Fuck！！！”

The dust and fog were entangled, and the three of them turned on their backs under the close-quarters power of the spatial shock. The most innocent in it is WinD.,I didn't know what was going on.,So I was directly put down by the violent movement made by the two junior brothers.,Even if you weren't injured by it.,But I'm dressed like a robocop.,What's the trouble if you fall and get up? Chen Feng even got up and gave Xiaozhou a gun butt, smoked a cigarette without anything, and threw the beam sword as a force marker, which was obviously to kill everyone!

Syllable...... Slap, slap, slap.

A burst of applause belonging to the onlookers sounded, and the rhythm of the tone and frustration was obvious, from slow to fast, and finally stopped at four tones.
