Chapter 995: Around Lake Chad
A few days later, Fang Leng and Anna, along with Captain America and Bucky, traveled to the vicinity of Lake Chad to find out.
Since there are only four people, it is naturally easier and more convenient to do things.
The towns around Lake Chad are strictly controlled by the forces of Ultron. However, law and order is still the responsibility of the Ultron Seal Army. The army of regular robots is too lazy to take care of local governance.
According to prior information, the four of them came to the vicinity of a small town on the eastern side of Lake Chad, where rumors often occur.
In this town, the four of them began to investigate.
The area of the town is not large, and the view from the side of Lake Chad is very broad.
During the day, there are not many clues to detect, and the time has come to night. The climate in the heart of central Africa is dry, and even at night it is peaceful, and people don't feel more troubled and stressed.
On the roof of a house in the town, Fang Leng and Anna observe their surroundings at night. Captain America and the Winter Soldier are exploring elsewhere.
Fang Leng's vision is very sharp, and he can clearly observe the night situation in this kind of dark night. The town is now quite cozy, with some old-fashioned houses and streets lit up.
Anna is different, although Anna can manipulate the energy of her mind, plus the equipment of the space bracers, as well as the strong defense and recovery power of her own body, her combat effectiveness is also very strong. However, vision at night was still very limited, so night vision binoculars had to be used to observe the town.
Fang Leng had been observing, but he hadn't noticed the slightest movement, he turned his head to look at Anna and asked, "How is it?" See what you don't see? ”
"No~~~ It's really quiet here." Anna replied softly.
"Fang Leng, I think it's a little strange."
"Huh?"
"You say, could those rumors be made up by the locals sensationalism?"
"Do you doubt the truth of these rumors? Understandably, the resurrection of the dead sounds incredible. But nothing strange has ever happened in this universe, on this planet. Even Thor's kind of 'gods' exist, aliens and alien space, what strange things can't happen? ”
Anna took her eyes off the night vision binoculars and looked at Fang Leng, "That's true, but if you really encounter something like that, how would you react first?" ”
Fang Leng approached Anna and made a protective gesture, "When you see that kind of thing, kill them." If those things dare to threaten us, hmph, they'll have to be wiped out. ”
"But I'm wondering too." Anna's eyebrows were a little puzzled, "If this rumored resurrection of the dead is really the work of the Ultron forces, is it for the purpose of conducting battles and developing new weapons or something?" ”
Fang Leng hummed and explained: "This is very likely, what the Altron forces are best at is high technology, if this is definitely the work of the Altron forces, then they must want to turn the tide of the war by developing new technology." ”
Anna couldn't help but frown, "Anyway, let's continue to investigate, once discovered, then many mysteries can be solved." ”
"Hmm." Fang Leng looked at the communication of the radio microphone again, always maintaining normal communication with Captain America and the Winter Soldier, and once there was a situation, he would rush to the location with his strong strength.
........
Captain America and Bucky, elsewhere in town, are in action.
Bucky weaves cautiously through the town's alleys, his piercing eyes keeping an eye on his surroundings.
This town can be said to be very peaceful, and there is no special hint at all.
However, this is not a reason for Bucky to take it lightly, accidents can happen here at any time, and the experience of being a killer has made Bucky extremely sensitive to danger and special environments.
As he was walking, Bucky heard what seemed to be a shouting voice, but it was extremely short and low.
Following the voice, Bucky came to a house where a sound could be heard from the second floor.
The sound gradually fell silent, but it could still be faintly heard before it disappeared, with a slight sound of fighting.
Bucky decided to go up to the second floor to find out.
With his dexterity, Bucky climbed up the second-floor window from the outside of the house.
Entering the house through the window, Bucky scattered around the room, where it was filled with old furniture, some of which looked as if they had been in a fight.
It's not easy to get inside this house, and Bucky is very wary of it in case something unexpected happens.
There was still some blood on the ground, fresh and dry, and Bucky searched for it.
At the end of the bloodstain, Bucky ends up sitting at the closet and finds a corpse. It was the corpse of a person, dressed in pajamas and civilian clothes, apparently trying to sleep and rest.
But the hideous appearance of the dead man made Bucky's face grim, the corpse's abdomen was cut open alive, the internal organs were torn out, and the blood soaked the floor with dampness. And the dead man's face was even purple, and his eyes were terrifying. Apparently due to the great suffering he suffered before he died.
Bucky half-crouched down to look further at the body, looking for more clues.
Behind Bucky, a dark figure walked out of the darkness very slowly. The dark shadow slowly approached Bucky from behind, like a ghost.
A little moonlight from the second-floor window shone on the dark part of the shadow's body, which was seen as a strange structure, a combination of metal and human flesh. And one of the metal claws still had undried blood on it.
The shadow grew closer and closer to Bucky, and the bloodied claw was aimed at Bucky's neck........
Bucky was observing the dead man in front of him, although he had seen all kinds of cruel and bloody scenes, but the scene in front of him was enough for Bucky to remember completely.
The claw behind him is already piercing!
Bucky's body tumbled violently, and his left arm blocked at the same time!
"Sting!" There was a sound of metal rubbing, and the mechanical arm collided violently with the claws of the black shadow.
The claws of the Black Shadow are also metal!
Bucky slammed a roundhouse kick from his leg and hit his opponent's body hard, hitting him hard against the wall on the second floor.
Bucky removed a marble-sized flare from his belt and threw it on the floor.
"Bang!" The flares explode, illuminating the entire room.
Bucky also saw the true face of the black shadow, whose body was half-mechanical and half-human, with a large part of its arms, torso, and legs made of metal machinery. Part of it is human flesh.
Most of his face was still bare, and he could see it clearly.
It's a dead man's face, and it's the face of a man who has been dead for a long time. His face was lifeless, as if he had been in a tomb or a morgue for a long time.
