Chapter 8 Unfinished Tasks
The wolves on the march suddenly stopped. The electronics expert held on to the headphones, listened patiently for a moment, looked up and said, "Someone triggered my trap." ”
At this time, the team was only 40 kilometers away from the trap of the Falcon headquarters. Raikna's eyes flashed with the sharp light of the wolf preying on the former Senhan, and he immediately made a decision and ordered everyone to march towards the Falcon headquarters as quickly as possible, and then took the lead with Oberion and Rigore, and rushed to the Falcon headquarters first.
An hour later, the wolves had gathered at the Falcon headquarters, and there was so much to surprise them. The biochemist was busy collecting the dirt stained with Sue's blood, and using a magnifying glass to search for every possible piece of meat. Surprisingly, the amount of blood and minced flesh at the scene was really pitiful, but after all, there were still remnants. With the advanced detection methods of the Dark Dragoon, the number of these samples is sufficient.
"The intruders were found, but they were all dead." Biochemists announced.
This news still made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, everyone present understood the terrible characteristics of the intruder's massacre, although they came for this reason, and they were all quite capable, but they were not yet able to grasp the intruder's infection channels and ways, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts when facing the living body directly.
The biochemist briefly examined the samples he had taken with a portable device he carried with them, and as expected, the samples were full of dead invaders and the remains of other cells. After preliminary staining, the cells of the dead invaders are filled with countless broken genetic fragments, which cannot be restored at all, and there is no way to know the true face of the invaders.
"I need more time to see if I can find a sample of the intruder that is still alive." The biochemist looked up, his face a little ugly.
Now his only hope was that the intruder was as active as it was aggressive, and that it was only possible to obtain the complete genes by finding the surviving invaders in the soil or somewhere else, and then completely freezing them with the freezing spray they carried.
However, no one knows the horror of the invaders better than this biochemical expert. No matter how dedicated he was, he would never want to deal with such a thing, not to mention that this was not a well-guarded real room, he only had a portable and rudimentary instrument and some simple protective measures. God knows how these invaders are infected and what kind of effects they will have in the human body.
Within ten meters of the scene, only the biochemist himself was working nervously, and everyone else was standing ten meters away in strict accordance with the specifications.
Biochemists take the samples piece by piece, spray them with chirgy, and carefully place them in isolation bags before marking them.
Raikna left two men to assist the biochemists, and the rest were led by hunters to find Sue's whereabouts. However, as soon as he came out of the Falcon headquarters, all clues about Su were broken. Oberen's hunter Hu has a number of second- to third-order abilities in the perception domain, as well as second-order agility in the fighting domain, and nearly twenty years of experience in wilderness survival and tracking and anti-tracking, even so, it is necessary to be very careful to find the little trace left by Su that is almost impossible to detect.
"He's cunning, and his former cousin is completely confusing us." The hunter said this more than once with a solemn face, and each time he did not forget to add: "Of course, he was very badly wounded. ”
Judging from the splashed minced meat and large traces of blood at the scene, everyone knew that Sue was not lightly injured, but this nonsense could still calm the anxiety in everyone's hearts, especially Raikna. As long as you can catch Sue, countless glory, rewards and status will follow when you return. In Raikna's mind, Sue is a moving treasure trove, not to mention that judging from that portrait, although it is impossible to know Sue's full appearance, he is already a heart-warming man. If it weren't for the chilling intruder, Raikna would have been more than willing to try his taste before handing over Sue.
Even though you know that this treasure is within reach, you have to be patient to find it little by little, which is a huge test of patience for anyone.
Calmness and patience are qualities that every Dark Dragoon must keep in mind repeatedly. Raikna was naturally impatient, but his strict education allowed him to suppress his worries and not dictate to hunters. That's Oberen's subordinate, and trusting professionals is common sense that all Dark Dragoons know.
The team traveled very slowly, and as hours passed, they circled the Falcon headquarters three times, only two kilometers from the center.
Sue was not far away, this was the conclusion shared by both the hunter and Oberen. In such a short period of time, and with such a serious injury, it was impossible for Su to move at high speed without leaving any traces. The traces left by Sue are scattered around the manor, and it seems that they have also made a circle around to confuse the pursuers behind them. For now, Sue has more than enough hiding places in a land littered with ruins, abandoned villas, broken highways, lone power towers, and a large clump of thick, twisted bushes. If no trace of him can be traced, even if it is only a square kilometer in size, a full search will take a whole day, and that is still under the assumption that the target does not move.
Time passed little by little, and the night soon covered the land again. Although everyone was not as free as in the day, there were third-order hunters in the team, and they still refused to give up, because Su would definitely not be able to run far. For such a cunning prey, of course, he cannot be given a moment to breathe.
The hunter turned on a delicate flashlight, but no light was visible. This is an ultraviolet flashlight, and the hunter's eyes have been specially modified to see ultraviolet light.
While the hunters scrutinized the ground, the others scanned the dark night aimlessly. Most people didn't know what the hunter could see from the ground where there was nothing, but there must have been clues for him to be so cautious.
It was windy at night, and the wind was chaotic, fast and slow.
In the darkness, a fire flickered in the distance. Oberen's face changed drastically, and before he could call, he stretched out his hand at a swift speed and pressed Lecona a few meters away in the air!
There was a soft thud, and with Raikna as the center, a strong gust of wind suddenly rose, blowing Oberen's gray hair and black uniform clinging to his body. Several second-order ability people were caught off guard, and they couldn't resist the wind pressure at all, and staggered backwards. Rigore stood still, but he was also frightened by the strong wind pressure in his face.
With a soft sound of the wave, a fire suddenly lit up a meter in front of Lekona, and a warhead seemed to hit an invisible wall, which suddenly slowed down, and then the warhead began to deform strongly. Ordinary bullets may have exploded in vain in front of this barrier, but the momentum of this bullet was huge, far beyond the ordinary, although the bullet became red and shiny in the friction of high speed and force, almost molten into a ball of molten iron, and finally pounced, penetrated the invisible wall, turned into a hot metal jet, and roared towards Raikna's chest! Although the speed of this metal jet is greatly reduced compared to the previous one, the momentum and high heat can still penetrate the steel plate that is not thick.
But the bullet was stopped, and Raikna had a chance to react. His eyes glowed bright red, and he let out a loud shout, and a blazing flame storm suddenly erupted around him! As soon as the jets of metal rushed into the scorching wind, they were swept away, deflected, and blown away by the raging whirlwind, and a large droplet of metal brushed past Raikna, and pounced on the wilderness, and the ground was scorched with green smoke.
After a rapid rotation of dozens of weeks, the foehn suddenly spread out in all directions, igniting everything that could be ignited within ten meters of Raikna. There seemed to be an invisible force field around Raikna's body, isolating the foehn from his body, but suddenly, the range of the force field contracted, and the uniform of the dark dragoon on his body could not withstand the heat, and a large piece of fabric began to burn.
It was only then that the muffled thunderous sound of gunfire faintly came.
Standing in a field of flames, Raikna looked at the scorched earth not far away, which was still emitting wisps of green smoke, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! The bullet's trajectory was aimed at his heart, and if Oberen hadn't noticed it and added a layer of defense to Raikna in time, Raikna would have had a large hole in his chest.
With Raikna's abilities and the skills of the Dark Dragoon, even if he is shot in the chest with a sniper rifle, as long as his brain is not destroyed, he can still save a life. But the power of this shot is much greater than that of an ordinary sniper rifle, comparable to an anti-materiel gun, and if this shot hits him directly, I'm afraid that most of Raikna's chest will be blown away, and no amount of advanced technology of the Dark Dragoon will be able to save him at that time.
One of Lekona's subordinates immediately found a suitable position, set up a long-range sniper rifle, and searched for Sue in the composite sight. The rest of the servants were in a fighting posture, ready to rush in the direction where the bullets were fired.
"No need to go." Oberen stopped the minions who were just starting out, and said calmly, "He's gone far. ”
Under the light of the fire, Oberen's face was very pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, his usually soft and flying gray hair was stuck to his forehead, and his gray eyes had lost a lot of brilliance. At the moment, it seems that he is a little delicate, pale big boy, maybe he can change his outfit and become a beautiful girl with a bit of neutral beauty.
However, Rigore was not fooled by Oberen's slightly effeminate appearance, and was deeply shocked by his strong and mysterious abilities. Not to mention the powerful shield of defense, it was incredible that he could sense the impending danger and protect Raikna in time under such a terrible attack.
If this shot had been fired at Rigore, he would have thought that there was only one way to die.
The knowledgeable, quiet, modest, and even slightly weak young man in front of him is like an endless ocean of bottomless abyss at this moment, and the depth cannot be measured at all.
Raikna suddenly roared, and a circle of flames rushed around him, turning into a sea of fire within ten meters! All the servants immediately avoided in all directions, they did not dare to touch this seemingly ordinary flame. The flames ignited by this ability are unusually hot, and it only takes a dozen seconds to completely scorch the human body. Only Oberen stood in the fire, not moving. When the flames reached his side, they parted automatically and poured out.
"He can't run far! I'm going to kill him with my own hands! Raikna roared, not only his eyes were red, but even the skin on his face was a thick dark red, and the hot flames did not stop forming around him, and it was very threatening to incinerate the visible qi
Oberen stopped Raikna with both hands, and said seriously, "He's much more dangerous than we originally expected!" It's not enough for just the two of us, so ask for reinforcements from headquarters! ”
"Reinforcements?!" Lecona roared. "Why are we asking for reinforcements from headquarters, and why are we letting those guys share the credit? Do you know what kind of promotion we will get when we go back and how much ability we will get after we catch him? ”
Facing the enraged Raikna, Oberen sighed and said, "I know all of this. But if we catch up like this, maybe the casualties will be heavy. ”
After venting, Raikna's feelings calmed down a bit, and the hot flames around him ceased to generate. He pushed Oberen away and replied with the same seriousness: "The mission of the servants is to serve us, even if it is at the expense of it. ”
"But......" Oberyen tried to retort, but he couldn't.
Raikna pointed to the hunter and commanded in an unquestioning tone, "Lead the way, go find that boy!" ”
The hunter hesitated slightly, but finally responded: "Yes!" Sir! "He's a servant of Oberen, but he's also a peripheral member of the Dark Dragoon. As the corporal of the Dark Dragoon, the highest-ranking person present, Raikna must obey orders unless Oberen explicitly objected.
A shot at Raikna was fired from a kilometer away, and Su immediately withdrew after firing a shot, not putting the firing position in order, so the hunter and Raikna quickly found a place.
It's a small pit, just big enough to bury one person. There is only some grass around that is not dense, and it does not play a much hidden role.
The hunter inspected the position and said to Raikna, "It seems that he buried himself in the earth during the day to avoid our tracking. Now, he should have withdrawn to the east. ”
"Chase!" With a gloomy face, Raikna gave the order.
The ten men turned to the east in pursuit. Raikna was no longer prepared to leave the biochemists and the two warriors in the manor alone, preoccupied only with catching Sue.
It was the first time he was so close to death.
As soon as the team was marching, Oberen suddenly stopped! He stopped so suddenly that a servant behind him almost couldn't stop and crashed into him!
"What's wrong? Did you find him? Raikna turned back and asked with concern. He understands Oberen's abilities.
Oberen's face turned even paler, sweat wet his hair again, he smiled reluctantly, and said, "I'm fine, go on." ”
Raikna was a little confused, but didn't think much of it. Oberyen has enough self-protection ability, and if even he can't protect himself, then Lecona can't help much. By this time, the hunter in front had already found the route of Sue's departure and began to speed up to follow it, and Raikna hurriedly followed.
Oberion walked at the end of the line, actually protecting the entire second half of the team. He walked silently, still thinking about the moment that had just passed.
Just as the team was about to track down Sue, Oberen suddenly felt like a needle in his eyebrows. Oberen immediately understood that at this moment, he had been targeted! Just as he was about to activate the protective force field, the pinprick sensation quietly disappeared.
Oberen suddenly understood the message of this aim: "Next time, I will kill you first." ”
In the darkness of the night, Oberen had no way of sensing Sue's location, nor could he trace Sue's whereabouts through the momentary sensation Guò had just had. This shows that Sue is outside the limits of his senses. However, with only two short contact times, Su should not be able to guess Oberen's sensing distance, so when he appears next time, he may be locked by Oberen.
After all, Oberen's sensing range is 800 meters.
Under the cover of night, Su was like a smart black cat, traveling at a speed of about ten kilometers. It's not that he can't walk faster, but if he goes faster, the barely closed wounds on his body may burst open and drip a few drops of blood. These few drops of blood were enough to lure the wolf-like hunter behind him and expose his own path. But even so, there will still be difficult terrain on the road ahead, or lurking scavengers that Sue will need to clean by hand, which will lead to his wounds.
Most of the time, Sue would crouch down and lick off the blood left on the ground with her tongue. He couldn't hear any sound, and there was an unbearable stinging pain in his head all the time, not to mention the pain all over his body. Sue's perception was extremely acute, which meant that the pain he felt was also several times that of ordinary people. When the pain reaches a certain level, it becomes numb. As a result, his senses and perceptions are dulled. It's just that the sensation on the tip of the tongue has not diminished, and it is able to absorb all the blood back.
Su was determined to save every fraction of the lì, and he wanted to drag down all the wolves behind him. From the time he can remember, he has often struggled with life and death. Now Su gambled on these wolves, who knew at a glance that they were accustomed to living a superior life, might as well be able to endure pain, fatigue, hunger, and filth.
On the fourth day, the ruins of a sprawling city appeared in front of Raikna. This city is where the underground passage of the N11 base is connected.
By this time he had lost his graceful and slightly arrogant bearing, his eyes were deep-set, his blond hair was disheveled, and clumps were glued to his head. The dark dragoon uniform that was scorched and tattered everywhere was even more dirty, and it was completely unrecognizable in its true color and dark gold ornamentation. This was true of Raikna, and the rest of the servants were even more miserable. Many times they wondered if Su was injured or not, otherwise how could he hold on for so long, almost never stopping? Just a few drops of blood, or even a grain of minced meat, can be found every few tens of kilometers, which gives them confidence again.
Oberen was a little better, his young face was full of sunshine despite the tiredness on his face. No one but himself knew the pressure he was under along the way.
As for Rigore, he was already full of stubble and had a weathered decadent style, but now he just had a longer beard and dirtier clothes, not much different from before.
Lecona sneered and walked towards the city. Oberen grabbed him, frowned, and said, "It seems that this is the battlefield he chose, let's call the headquarters for reinforcements." In such a big city, snipers can cause a lot of trouble. ”
"What are you afraid of! Isn't it just right that the rats finally stopped running away. Raikna's eyes were bloodshot and she looked particularly hideous: "We're all trained in counter-sniping. And a third-order sniper will only have a chance to fire one shot in front of you, won't it? ”
Oberen's eyebrows tightened tighter and tighter, but he couldn't hold Raikna, so he could only follow him towards the city.
To these ten people, the city in front of them was like an incomparably huge monster, staring at them coldly, waiting for the prey to come into its mouth on its own.
