Returning to Longcheng again, Su was faced with a lot of transactional work, with the improvement of the task level, the procedures for task handover, report filing, and receiving honoraria became more cumbersome and lengthy, and it took two full days, and the honorarium was only 80,000 yuan, far from being compared with the previous tasks. However, Su also has gains from other aspects, and this series of battles has brought him more experience, tests, and team run-in and training.

Fragments of Mathum's body tissue were taken by Helen for research and not given to the Dark Dragoon's headquarters. The captured fragments of the Calamity Scorpion combat machinery are also lackluster, and there will be no additional gratuity, which makes Su, who is used to earning hundreds of thousands of dollars in a battle, very uncomfortable. It was only then that Su really felt the pressure to earn a reward as a combat dragoon, after all, obtaining samples of newly mutated creatures was a matter of course. With limited income, the supplies supplied by the Dark Dragoon Headquarters are too expensive. It was only at this time that Su, who had a little basic knowledge of economics, understood the significance of N958 and understood why all dragoons would try their best to build their own workshops whenever possible, even if it was just a small handicraft workshop, using the second-class weapons and ammunition produced by themselves, and not using the obviously advanced firearms supplied by the dragoon headquarters.

Costs, profits, expenses, Sue experienced their magic for the first time. An advanced Dragonpistle III automatic rifle doesn't cost much, and their necessity makes the dragoons willing to pay a lot of money for it, not to mention the profit margin that the headquarters has only ordered on this item. But the problem is that if ammunition and consumables are also profitable, the use of this gun becomes a luxury. In fact, it is not difficult to produce ordinary bullets for which it is suited, and the processing plant of 958 can do it completely. Even some relatively simple spare parts, with their ability to shape quins, can be produced by hand.

Now Su already knew that everything supplied by the headquarters was at least profitable, and only this profit would allow the extremely advanced factories of the headquarters to start producing ammunition with little technical content. Although most of the family's own factories are capable of producing standard ammunition and weapons, there will always be some dragoons who have no foundation or lack economic savvy to order them, willing to let the headquarters slaughter them, such as Sue.

Of course, Su didn't know that he was in the minds of the officers in charge of supplies at the headquarters, and even if he knew, it didn't matter. He never made too much remorse for what had happened. Su had already passed the password to Quinn to open the base, asking him to familiarize himself with the functions and layout of 958, as well as what needed to be improved. A decades-old base will never be transformed in one or two places.

When all the trivial affairs were dealt with and Su Gang wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he received a notice from Lieutenant Colonel Julio asking him to go to the headquarters immediately. Although the last meeting with the lieutenant colonel was not pleasant, Sue still entered Julio's office on time.

Just like the last time we met, Julio, who didn't pay much attention to his appearance, still buried himself in a high pile of papers. Seeing Su come in, he simply asked Su to sit down and re-engaged in the endless struggle with Wen Jiàn. Minutes passed, and Julio let out a sigh of relief, raised his head, and muttered, "Damn, there are more and more troublemakers, and this will not achieve the expected strategic goal!" Why is no one willing to do some basic tasks? ”

Sue wasn't sure if Julio had said this to herself, so she just sat and waited patiently for the lieutenant colonel's next words.

Looking at Sue in front of him, who was promoted to major at a rocket-like speed, Julio had to admit that Sue didn't just climb up by relying on Persephone's connections. However, the problem is that Su is too beautiful, and when he is quiet, he has a mysterious and deep temperament, which is even reminiscent of the great nobles with an ancient heritage.

No one likes the same sex who is too pretty, especially this guy has a leg with Persephone who has all the looks, figures, abilities, and power. So Julio also dislikes Sue, even though he has never had any fantasies about Persephone.

With a snap, the lieutenant colonel threw a black bag with dark gold patterns in front of Su, and said quietly: "There is a task here, and you are assigned to complete it." Of course, you can also refuse, in which case I will find someone else. ”

Su took the bag and opened it, only a thin page inside. He took out the text and read it carefully and carefully, not wanting to miss every byte. The way the mission book is packaged indicates that this is a top-secret mission, which is fundamentally different from the open mission of the Dragoon system for all dragoons.

The content of the text is simple: "Assassination. Target: Carry von Mano, male, 69 years old, former Lieutenant Colonel of the Dark Dragoon. Be sure to retrieve the target's intact brain tissue as proof of mission completion. Additional requirements: rank of major and above, secrecy, and elimination of a qiē witness. ”

The second half of the text is a list of Kari's abilities, as well as a map of the area where he may be hiding.

Julio leaned back in his chair, his arms folded, and looked at Sue. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous at the thought that Su was likely to become a lieutenant colonel after completing this task. Perhaps, you should help Oberen, I heard that he and Su are very bad at each other. The lieutenant colonel thought silently, of course, the best outcome was that Su took the initiative to refuse the task.

Su put Wen Jiàn back in the bag, pushed it back to Lieutenant Colonel Julio, and said calmly: "A 69-year-old man, but he needs to use a dragon horse above the major to assassinate, is there anything special about him?" ”

Seeing that Su did not directly refuse, Julio shifted his body in some disappointment and said, "We suspect that he is related to one of the enemies of the Dragoon, and there is only so much we can sue you." Also, I heard that he was dangerous, which was personal advice. ”

"Doubtful?" Sue looked at Julio, and his blue gaze made the lieutenant colonel panic for no reason.

Julio quickly calmed down, and secretly hated Zecai's cowardice. He set his mind and said, "In many cases, just doubt is enough, and that's not what you should be asking!" So, Major Su, are you not ready to take on this task? ”

Sue looked at Julio, and his indifferent gaze always made the lieutenant colonel's already fat body involuntarily ooze sweat. A smile suddenly appeared on that excessively beautiful face, like a floating flower, and there was an indescribable heavy pressure hidden in the faint beauty.

"I took it." Su took the bag, stroked it lightly with his hand, then crumpled it into a ball, shook it firmly in his right hand, and threw it into the waste paper basket in the corner of the house.

It wasn't until Sue was away for a full minute that Julio came back to his senses, and he cursed stupidly, "What a thing!" He suddenly stood up, took out the paper that had been crumpled by Su from the waste paper basket in the corner of the house, opened it, flattened it, and then froze.

The bag was just wrinkled, but the text inside was charred black, as if it had been burned by fire, and all the parts on it were damaged. But the other side is as cold as ice, and only this coldness can keep the other half of the paper. So a thin piece of paper is charred on one side and ice on the other.

After a long time, Lieutenant Colonel Julio exhaled with difficulty, spat fiercely, and muttered: "This kind of Cheng Dù's ability to control!" …… It's amazing! ”

Many people can have abilities, and the combat effectiveness obtained by the combination of different abilities is likely to be very different, which is also common sense that most people know. However, a very small number of gifted people will be particularly outstanding in a certain field or ability, and their meticulous grasp of ability can produce a lot of special additional effects, which is derived ability, such as the Extreme Ice Prison Cage, which Oberen's derived from the fifth-order cold. Or, for example, the same first-order flame, some people can use it to light a cigarette, and some people can only set it on fire. And Sue, he can iron shirts with this.

Sue, who was running in the dark, did not know that his unintentional actions had kept Lieutenant Colonel Julio awake at night, and he was on his way out on the mission, carefully avoiding the dangers of the night, and observing the unnatural places around him.

The area was close to Kari's residence, and the map was not marked with a point, but with an area of nearly one square kilometer. Of course, being able to do such a fine intelligence capability is already a very remarkable intelligence, and Su has nothing to complain about.

Merely......

Su squatted under a large dry tree, carefully looked at the slightly soft soil near the roots, looked up at the marks on the trunk of the tree, and slowly stood up. In the darkness of the night, Sue is like a ghost, gradually becoming completely one with the darkness. There are signs of human activity here, perhaps not far from Karry's residence.

It's just that Su didn't understand what considerations they chose on their own merits, could it be that the officials at the headquarters thought they were very suitable for assassination? In any case, Caliphonnoah must be hiding a lot of secrets, maybe it would be a good idea to kill him directly, and it is not necessarily a good thing to know too much.

Sue carried an ordinary automatic rifle on his back, and removed the smart chip inside that was used to locate and calculate the trajectory. Although it is not as good as a professional sniper rifle, in Sue's hands, it is not a problem to snipe targets within five hundred meters in the dark.

Now that there are traces of human activity, Sue quickly finds the target.

It was a wooden house built on the edge of the lake, with two floors, and a small backyard surrounded by a wooden hedge, and there was an ancient tree in the courtyard, and the shade of the tree shaded most of the wooden house. A gravel path was built in front of the gate that winded its way to the lake. In this cold season, the lake has long been frozen, and a primitive wooden boat has been towed up and placed on the shore. The ice sheet on the lake shows signs of being excavated, and it seems that the owner of the wooden house often broke the ice to get fish.

It looks like this is an ordinary family living a leisurely country life, but Sue knows what the problem is. The forest is inhabited by many dangerous mutated creatures, many of which rely on toxins and agile predators, and a fist-sized insect is enough to kill a person. And the lake, like all surface water bodies of this era, is filled with intense radiation. Su could stand by the lake as if nothing had happened, or even go down to take a shower, but most low-ranking dragoons needed protective equipment or had taken anti-radiation agents to gain a foothold near the lake.

Break the ice to get fish? Even if there are fish in this lake, they are not edible to ordinary humans.

Su arched his body, and with the help of the cover of terrain and shadows, he quickly rushed towards the wooden house! The automatic rifle was still on his back, and he had an extra saber in his hand.

The door to the wooden house was hidden, and Sue stood against the wall by the door for three seconds, then suddenly opened the door and flashed in. At the moment of entering the door, because of the change of light, his vision was blurred for a moment, and when his vision was clear again, Su saw a muzzle of a gun only two meters from his forehead!

The living room, which was supposed to be empty, suddenly became real, and the tele-touch, see-through, and psychic sensations all came into play again, and the gunman's heart was beating violently, and the powerful heart pumped blood throughout the body at a rate of more than three hundred beats per minute, providing the body with abundant vitality and strong strength. And under Sue's spiritual touch, you can completely feel her panic, fear, anger and murder!

Almost an instinctive reaction, Sue, whose life was threatened, turned sideways, let go of the trajectory of the muzzle, and then rushed forward with amazing explosive force, fit into the arms of the gunman, and at the moment of knocking the gunman away, his left arm wrapped around her back and hips, and his head drilled into his armpit, relying on the perspective positioning, the saber in his right hand accurately pierced between her two ribs!

The crazy heart suddenly contracted, enveloping the blade that was not cold!

And the bullet in the gun never came out.

Sue gently placed her body on the ground without making any sound. It was only then that he really saw her clearly.

It was a woman who was not very young, about twenty-five or sixteen, with her shaggy hair haphazardly tied back. Although there are freckles left by the scattered radiation on her face, she still calls it beautiful. The plump body has both elasticity and curves, and is full of the charm of a mature woman. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, her body still twitching, moaning but being firmly choked in her throat by Sue's left hand. The left hand holding the gun hung limply at his side.

Even without the ability to see through, the sensation coming from the hilt of the knife, Sue knew that her vitality was rapidly draining and she had lost the ability to resist. He hesitated, thinking there was no need to spin the blade again, even if she had secrets hidden on her that he didn't know, Sue would be able to handle it.

"Put her down!" An old, mournful voice sounded behind Sue.

Su was sure that before he heard the voice, he didn't sense anyone so close. He looked up and saw an old man standing on the stairs, his snow-white hair a little messy. The old man was thin, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as a knife, covered with traces of time. The corners of his mouth were downward, and the bruises on his face were throbbing because he was pushing too hard.

Looking at the large-caliber old-fashioned gunpowder pistol in the old man's hand, Su quickly calculated the probability that he would dodge the trajectory at the moment of shooting, and then slowly let go of the hand holding the handle of the knife, stood up, and took a step back.

"Back off!" The old man's eyes were as sharp as Su's blade, and Su's left eye was like a blue lake, and he couldn't see any waves.

Su Yiyan stepped back and didn't stop until his back was pressed against the wall. The old man then came down the stairs and crouched down before the young woman on the ground, and with his trembling left hand stroked her face and the wound on her chest, he grasped the hilt of the knife, but did not pull it out, which would only hasten her death.

The young woman's distracted pupils stared at the sky, and her gaze seemed to cross the ceiling and fall on an infinite distance. At this time, she seemed to see something, seemed to forget the pain in her body, smiled, and her face flushed with a beautiful flush.

The old man trembled and took her hand, watching her fall asleep peacefully with a smile. Su then noticed that the woman's eyes seemed to be invisible.

"Her name is Karena and she is my daughter. Since you've found this place, you must have come for me, I'm Kari, and twenty years ago, people called me Steel Kari. The old man stood up, and in a few minutes he became much older and weaker.

Although still being pointed at gunpoint, Su now has absolute certainty to dodge over.

Kari went to the bar in the living room, poured himself a full glass of spirits, and drank it down. He spat out the smell of wine, waved his pistol, and said to Sue, "You, sit over there." ”

Sue obediently went to the other end of the bar. The bar was made of heavy solid wood, which was equivalent to blocking most of his body. He's more sure of dodging the bullets in the card now, but he's not in a hurry yet, it looks like the card still drinks, so it's better to wait for him to drink more. Judging from the data, before his retirement, Kari had sixth-order fighting ability and fifth-order weapon control, and such a guy should not be underestimated even if he is 70 years old.

Somewhat unexpectedly, a glass of wine slid down the bar and stopped in front of Sue.

"Drink, young man, it's only fair." Kari poured himself another glass.

Sue hesitated, his fear of spirits was much stronger than bullets. Strangely, however, he didn't feel much hostility or murder in Kari, which was not quite right, after all, he had just killed his daughter.

Seeing Sue pick up the glass and drink it slowly, Kari nodded with satisfaction, drank a large glass full of spirits, and said, "Young man, you are much cleaner than the other Dark Dragoons, and this is the reason why I want to treat you to a drink." You are very much like us 30 years ago. ”

"Clean?" Sue was a little surprised, he killed quite a few people, maybe even more than most dragoons.

Old Kari seemed to see through what Sue was thinking, pointed to his head, and said, "I'm not talking about how many people you killed, but here!" The current Dark Dragoons only have killing, power, wealth, and lust in their minds, and they don't know what moderation is. Without moderation, desires will eventually lead to ruin. I don't see desire in your eyes. ”

Sue did not answer this question. If it weren't for Persephone and Medirly, if it weren't for the inexplicable fear that lurks in the depths of her body, Sue would have been more than willing to live a simple life, like Kari.

"Old Morgan sent you to kill me, right? He's very good at picking people, and that's never changed. Kari's face was flushed, and his eyes were a little distracted.

"I received the assignment from the officer in charge of the assignment, and I don't know if the person who gave the assignment was General Morgan." Sue replied very honestly.

"Officers assigned to tasks? The Dark Dragoon is really becoming more and more like a national machine. Old Kari said sarcastically. He filled his glass again and said, "It must be old Morgan, with whom I have fought for more than ten years, and it is his style to send you." Just as he knows me, so do I know him. ”

Kari looked at her daughter's body, and she looked like she was asleep, very peaceful. He was silent for a while before he said slowly, "Karena, my daughter, will be 30 years old in a few days. She can't see, but she has strange psychic abilities. Your stealthy phone interview wèn:à.(1)[].m is so good that even I didn't notice your whereabouts, but she would know. She must have been pointing a gun at you when you came in, like she had laid a trap waiting for you to bring it to your door. ”

Sue nodded, this was indeed the feeling he felt when he suddenly saw Karena, and it was also what made him fight with all his might, it was an instinctive reaction when facing a strong opponent.

Kari sighed and said, "She can't see, even when her eyes are good, her marksmanship is poor." Nine years ago, Morgan's men approached us, and I was out of town. The men sent by Morgan killed her husband and newborn child, and the three dragoons and their servants tormented her all night! When I rushed back the next morning, they weren't over yet. I killed all of them and took Karena into hiding. But from then on, every night, she had to stay alone in the living room, with a gun in hand, fighting imaginary enemies and protecting her lover and children. In the past nine years, she has actually lived in that hellish day, and she has not changed. ”

Su was silent, not expecting that there were so many secrets involved. He could imagine Karenna's pain, and he had had a whole year of adaptation when Medirri was taken away by the Spider Queen. Such a woman, but died at his hands. Sue looked at Karena who seemed to be sleeping, and her chest twitched faintly.

At this time, Su Xin's heart suddenly swept through a cold for no reason, and without thinking, he stepped on the bar with his legs, and the whole person ejected like a cannonball, knocking out directly from the wooden wall.

Rumble! The blazing impact of the high-energy explosives slammed into Su's body as he curled up, throwing him directly 20 meters away!

With a thud, Sue fell heavily to the ground. As soon as he touched the ground, Su jumped up, landed on all fours, and moved sideways like a crab.

However, Sue did not wait for the expected bullet, only to hear a heavy thud, and the old Kari, who was swept away by the blast current, fell to the ground like a broken pocket.

The wooden house had long since been razed, and Su, whose power had been evaded in advance by the power of the high explosives, had broken a few bones, not to mention Kari, whose abilities had decayed with age. Sue walked over to Kari and slowly crouched down, looking down at the old man who must have left a lot of marks in the history of the Dark Dragoon.

Kari couldn't see any injuries, but blood kept pouring out from under his body. Kari saw Sue, smiled hard, and said, "I really didn't expect that you also have the same psychic ability as Karina." Sometimes...... I'm really jealous of Morgan...... He can always find good people. ”

Kari coughed violently, blood foaming from the corners of his mouth. Sue took out a clean cloth and wiped the blood from his mouth for him. Kari looked at the special backpack that Sue had exposed behind his back, and then showed a weak and sarcastic smile: "I know, they want my head, so ...... Bring it to them! They will find out...... There's nothing in it, it's just faith...... Belief in freedom. ”

Su looked at Kari, and there was not much life left in the old man's body. However, he could feel that from the moment he saw Karena fall, the old man's heart was dead.

The old man gasped hard, but the air he exhaled couldn't be sucked back into his lungs, he didn't know where the strength came from, grabbed Sue's hand, used up his last chance, and said, "Young man, if one day you also feel confused, then go ...... North, go find ...... Shenghui ...... Cross...... There will be ...... there What do you want...... Answer......"
