Chapter 10 Leaving the Hurricane
With a rush of running, three heavily armed men in camouflage uniforms rushed out of the woods not far from Ren Wei and William.
The three men who looked frightened looked around back to back as soon as they came out of the woods, and one of them caught a glimpse of the half of the hull exposed under the tarpaulin, his eyes were first excited, then he immediately became vigilant, and was about to remind the other two companions when a blood flower bloomed in his chest.
It turned out that William saw the camouflage man's expression, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation. Before the camouflage man could react to what was going on, he was shot in the chest and died on the spot.
The other two were startled and quickly plunged into the woods to find cover, and in the process made two feints to evade, causing William's inevitable second shot to miss. Immediately afterwards, the bullet of the counterattack came over, and a stray bullet hit the tree where Ren Wei was hiding. All this happened too quickly, and it was only at this time that the vibration on the trunk made Ren Wei react: no matter what the identity of the person who came, it was equivalent to saving his life in disguise. Thinking of this, Ren Wei quietly moved his position, curling up as much as possible to avoid the angle that both sides of the shootout could shoot.
The two camouflage men had strong firepower and covered each other to close in on William. William was completely suppressed, but the occasional return shot was also a threat to the camouflage men, one of whom wore paint on his shoulders as he swooped in. As the distance between the two sides approached, William's lethality skyrocketed, and his precise clicks caused a fatal threat to the camouflage man several times, which actually made the two camouflage men detour not far from William, unable to advance again.
Ren Wei thought that the stalemate would last for a while, so he quietly left when both sides had no time to pay attention to themselves. But at this moment, a violent explosion occurred behind him. Ren Wei looked back in surprise, trying to see what was happening, only to see a shattered tree trunk flying towards him and hitting him on the forehead. Ren Wei's eyes went dark and he fainted.
After the explosion, two camouflage men appeared and walked to William's hiding place with guns. The camouflage man's throwout of this * was more powerful than the military's standard *, and the explosion site was very close to where William was hiding. So the camouflage man felt that even if William didn't die, he would definitely not have the ability to resist.
Sure enough, William was ragged and covered in blood, lying motionless on the ground.
"Captain, where did this kid come from?" One of the camouflage men half-leaned down and struck William's head with the gun in his hand.
"Whatever, but there is a dead body, let's find a way to go back to the base first. Let's go and see if that boat can help us. Another, more sturdy camouflage man, known as the captain, finished speaking, and turned to walk towards the boat.
The camouflage man beside William stood up straight, ready to follow in his captain's footsteps, but saw the captain who hadn't taken two steps turn back sharply, trying to warn him about something. Unfortunately, before he could figure it out, he only felt a gust of wind hit behind him, followed by a pain in his neck, and bright red blood gushed out. The camouflage man covered his throat, made a muffled "heh, heh" sound, desperately trying to turn around and look behind him, but before he could do all this, he ran out of strength and fell to the ground.
At the same time as the camouflage man fell to the ground, William, who was dying behind him, also lost his life and died beside him.
"!" The camouflage man in the lead scolded angrily when he saw this scene. But it had come to this point, no matter how annoyed he was, it was useless, and the camouflage man was not a hypocritical person, so in a moment he adjusted his mood, walked to the position of the hidden boat, tore off the whole tarp, pulled the boat out of the gap under the trunk, and dragged it to the river.
Soon, the surviving camouflage man dragged the boat to the river, and was about to push it into the water when a dozen people in SWAT uniforms appeared from the other side of the woods. When the camouflage man saw the dress of these people, his face changed, and he was about to push the boat into the river and then jump into the boat and escape.
And the dozen or so people who suddenly appeared discovered the camouflage man almost at the same time, and they all took out their guns for the first time and shot at the camouflage man one after another. The camouflage man didn't seem to be able to escape, so he had to use the boat as cover and hide behind to fight back.
For a time, the sound of gunfire was incessant.
After a while, the camouflage man's side suddenly fell silent, and then, the gunfire on the other side gradually stopped. I saw the camouflage man throw out his gun, and shouted at the same time: "Charles, I admit it, now I'll come out, don't shoot." After saying that, the camouflage man clasped his hands behind his head and slowly stood up, revealing his figure from the back of the boat.
The uniformed crowd quickly approached the camouflage man, and in the process, everyone's guns were aimed at the camouflage man.
"Night owl, what a place we don't meet! I didn't expect you to have a very embarrassing time. Charles, who was about thirty years old and had a fierce face, sneered.
"Tiger Falling Pingyang, I guess you have fantasized about this kind of scene countless times!" Night Stalker teased.
I couldn't see the night owl so arrogant, a special police officer who looked very capable and was searching the night owl didn't say a word, kicked the night owl in the crook of the knee, and kicked the night owl to one knee on the ground.
"Night Stalker, you have the blood of our 'Watcher' on your hands, and today is the time to use your life to pay our debts." After kicking the night owl, the SWAT said fiercely.
"Huh!" The night stalker sneered disdainfully when he heard this. "In your hands, I expected this fate. Scare me with this? What a joke! β
"You ......" the SWAT was choked, and his face turned red.
"Night Stalker, you're a bachelor." A cold light flashed in Charles's eyes, and he said in a cold tone.
"Charles, I know what you want, aren't you 'watchmen' staring at us 'scavengers' just to find evidence that 'Will Pharmaceutical' has developed biological and chemical weapons? Now is a good opportunity. The night stalker spoke to Charles very calmly.
"How?" Charles asked.
"It's okay to tell you! But you have to promise me one condition. The Night Stalker offered to make a deal with Charles.
"Say! But if you want to say that I want to let you go, then you might as well save your energy. β
"Don't worry, I know that this time there is death or life, I just want a good time. As long as you agree to this condition, I will tell you everything I know. The Night Stalker said.
Charles pondered for a moment, then looked around at his brothers, and then pointed at the night owl and said: "I know that each of you wants to crush this man to ashes, and think that it is too cheap for me to promise this guy, but we must not forget our responsibility, and promised him, we have a chance to complete our mission, and we will also let the comrades who have sacrificed their lives rest in peace, I hope you can understand my choice." β
The other "watchmen" around him were silent for a long time, and finally, it was the special police officer who had kicked down the night owl before who spoke: "Captain, we all listen to you, you can make a decision." β
Looking at the trusting eyes of his comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side countless times, Charles's eyes were a little moist, but it was only for a moment, he adjusted his mood, looked at the night owl with a cold face, and said: "Tell me everything you know, and after we verify that it is correct, we will give you a good time." β
"Refreshing! Knowing that you Charles is a promise, I am relieved to have your words. "The night stalker got the promise, ha." Take with you a map of the area, and I'll show it to you. β
A map is placed in front of the night stalker, and the crowd gathers around the night stalker to hear what he will reveal.
On the map, Hurricane is located to the north, and Titan and Pudding are to the south, which are close to a regular triangle if connected in a straight line. However, although the towns are connected by two, the roads are not always straight.
Both Hurricane and Titantown roads run west to Manton Town, and then merge into a single road that leads to Manton Town. The east side is similar, except that you arrive at the town of Glen. So if you include the roads, the three towns of Hurricane, Pudding, and Titan are actually an irregular pentagonal shape.
"We're in this location right now." The night owl said, pointing to a spot on the map near the Dabiru River. The river flows from northwest to southeast, first passing through the road leading from Hurricane Town to Manton Town, entering the middle zone between Hurricane Town, Pudding Town, and Titan Town, passing through a place closer to Hurricane Town, and after passing through Hurricane Town, making a "2" shaped bend, and finally leaving this area in the middle of the road leading from Pudding Town to Grand Town, heading straight for Grand Town, forming a lake near Grand Town.
"And the evidence you've been looking for is in an underground lab hidden in this location." The night stalker pointed to another location.
"Here?" Not only the people around him, but even Charles was surprised. "I really didn't expect that we searched around here for so long, and we didn't even think about that place." It turned out that the place that the night owl was referring to was an open area in the middle of the three towns.
"Who would have thought that such a secret laboratory would be built in such an exposed, unobstructed place, it is simply a blind spot. It seems that the predecessors are right, after eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining conclusion, no matter how unbelievable, must be correct. Charles muttered to himself.
"We have a camp not far from each of these two forks." Without waiting for everyone to recover from their surprise, the night stalker continued. "The purpose of setting up these two camps is to monitor the actions of the laboratory, and secondly, to prevent the laboratory from blocking the news in time if anything goes wrong with the tests in the three towns."
"You've even started experimenting with the townspeople?!" One of the female watchmen asked angrily, and the others were also furious.
"Haha!" The Night Stalker burst out laughing. "How long have you 'watchmen' been tracking this down? You wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that the weapon was still in the theoretical stage for such a long time, right? Let me tell you, the weapon has been developed for a long time, and it has begun to be tested and perfected. I don't know how powerful it is, but there's no doubt that this weapon exists, and it's more likely that it has been developed and can be used in real combat. β
"Why do you say that?" Charles wondered. He knew that since the night stalker said so, it must not be out of sight.
"Why do you think I was caught so embarrassed by you this time? It's because I fought a bad battle before. Just last night, the lab sent us an emergency alert, and when we responded, there was no one on the lab side who responded. So we sent a group of people from each of our two camps to the lab to check on the situation. At first, we guessed that it was probably a leak of a virus in the lab, but we didn't expect that we were ambushed halfway to the lab. It turned out that we had no idea what was going on in the lab, and we were defeated. The other party is very tricky, and obviously a veteran, so it is impossible for them to make a move for no reason, there must be a plan, plus the laboratory happens to be warning at this time, so they must be coming to the laboratory. And they ambushed us, indicating that they knew our route, which only Dr. Kirg, who was in charge of the Institute. The night owl said a lot in one breath. In this way, I think Dr. Kirg must have succeeded in researching weapons, and then he was ready to turn to other forces in the hope of gaining more benefits. Just as they were about to move, they were discovered by our inner body and raised the alarm, so in order to buy time, Kogg arranged this ambush with the men sent by the newly converted forces. β
"It's quite possible what you're saying, but it's all your guess." Charles was a little unhappy with the Night Stalker's answer.
"Whether my guess is right or not, it's the same for you. It's certain that something has happened in the lab, and that's the best time for you to sneak into the lab and gather evidence. And if my guess is correct, then you have a better chance of bringing down the people behind the scenes. Because in order to divert the attention of the investigators and cover for themselves, they will leave the clues more obvious, so that the people who sat behind the scenes before will take the blame. Of course, if you start as soon as possible, it's not impossible to kill two birds with one stone. β
The night owl's words were extremely inflammatory, although Charles felt that the night owl was a little too happy, but if it was true, his hesitation would be equivalent to missing the opportunity from God.
Without more time to think about it, Charles made a decision.
