The hiding place that Xiao Qiongyan found for himself was a cave in the high mountains. It was dark and cold, and the wind blew the hole with a "whining" sound. He felt terrible.

He couldn't sit still and walked around the cave on his long legs. After a while, he gathered in front of several computers and watched the surveillance footage he installed or hacked along the way. Well, the gate at the entrance of the town is dark and quiet; There were a few faint red lanterns hanging on the main street, and there were no people. Whining...... It's like a ghost movie scene.

Hey?

He rubbed his eyes, and just now it seemed as if he saw a dark shadow passing in front of the camera. It was so fast that he couldn't even see through his metal eyes. He was a little frightened, but with the courage to die and survive, he sat down in front of the computer and turned it to slow down and play back mode.

It turned out that it was not a dark shadow, but a few vague figures. Because the speed is too fast, people can't see clearly.

But how can human beings run at such an agile speed?

Could it be that the rebels have come to attack? With a frustration in his mind, he moved the mouse to slow down the screen even more. Finally captured the frozen appearance of those people.

Then he was stunned.

These people...... Not a rebel. But it's so strange to look at.

Their dress and appearance look like local men. Wrapped in a headscarf, wearing a short shirt and shorts. The skin is dark and the contours are somewhat stiff. But their bodies were covered with blood, and their faces and hands were also covered there. Even on the teeth. And their expressions all look weird, very indifferent.

Xiao Qiongyan adjusted the picture forward again, and saw a person at the head, holding a woman in his arms. A man behind him was holding a child in his hands. Xiao Qiongyan recognized the person who was the leader! In fact, after receiving Ying Hanshi's order to rush over, he collected and backed up all the information of the people Ying Hanshi and Xie Jinzhi had come into contact with along the way. This person is Chen Nan, the owner of Nanzi Hotel, and the woman and child are Ye Zi and Zhizhi.

Xiao Qiongyan faintly felt that he had discovered a great event. Alertly switched the screen to the Nanzi Hotel. Naturally, the surveillance in the hotel was also invaded by him.

After waiting for a while, I saw the door of the hotel being pushed open. This time, only Chen Nan walked in alone. With a leaf in his arms and a child on his back, he walked in very slowly, slowly, with a side face like a cold and hard sculpture, without any expression. The black dog next to him barked and chased after him, he glanced at the dog, walked to the back room, and closed the door.

It was obviously a very quiet picture, but Xiao Qiongyan was inexplicably nervous. He immediately connected the communication with Ying Hanshi, and reported to him like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "Commander, I found a bunch of anomalous people......"

The sky was as dark as a big hole, and it was upside down above the mountains. Ying Han stood in a bush with his hands in his hands, listened to Xiao Qiongyan's words, pondered for a moment, and said, "I know." ”

Ending the communication, he raised his head and looked at the ancient town below the mountain. In the darkness of the night, its outline is blurred.

And the Shiayaji Temple that Lin said is farther into the mountains. He clearly remembered that at noon yesterday, Ye Zi had told them not to go that way. And Chen Nan, who has been having a headache, is gloomy and silent.

What secrets are hidden in the ancient towns, ancient temples, those people, and forests?

Where is Jinzhi?

However, Ying Hanshi will not believe Lin's words like this - Jinzhi is in the ancient temple.

The two have fought for many years and set up each other countless times. Speaking of which, Lin suffered more in his hands. With Lin's cunning and ruthlessness, he would never be so kind and told him Jinzhi's whereabouts in vain.

But there is one thing that can be determined when it is cold - Jinzhi is indeed no longer in Lin's hands. Otherwise, no matter what, Lin would not give up this opportunity to get the chip.

After a moment of silence, his figure instantly turned into a ball of light and shadow, and went straight to the ancient town under the mountain.

——

Four o'clock in the morning is perhaps the darkest and quietest time of the day. In the huge hotel, only one room on the first floor is lit. The dim light faded from the window into the night, and finally melted into the darkness.

Chen Nan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the big and small on the bed. They were still unconscious, their faces were a little pale, but their breathing was steady.

Chen Nan sat a little stupidly, not talking or moving. The black dog lay on his lap, and the dog was always fierce and cold, and did not seem to feel the misfortune of his masters.

After a while, Chen Nan lowered his head and held it down with both hands. The pain hit like a rolling tide, and in an instant, his consciousness was a little lost, and his mouth also let out a painful moan~ moaning: "Ah......"

He pounded his head hard, trying to become sober. However, between the wings of his nose, he could clearly smell the fresh smell of blood on his body. The smell made him unconsciously secrete saliva, drooling more and more, and his tongue spit out, and began to fall to the ground one by one, and his feelings, excitement and depression, pain and irritation......

There was a "squeak" and the door was pushed open from the outside. With the vigilance of the black dog, he didn't even hear the man's footsteps. Only then did Huo Di get up from the ground, look at the man and start barking.

However, as soon as it screamed, it immediately fell to the ground, as if frightened away by someone who had come.

Chen Nan raised his head, his pupils had dilated, and his eyes had turned grayish-brown. When he looked at Ying Han, he pursed his lips, but a low roar of "hiss" came out of his throat.

Ying Han stood at the door and looked at him too.

"Xie Jinzhi, where is it?" He asked slowly.

Chen Nan suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced on him. The speed was so fast that Ying Han was slightly stunned. Chen Nan opened his mouth wide, revealing his unusually sharp teeth, and at the same time opened his arms to grasp him, and his five fingers had turned into black sharp claws.

Ying Han grabbed him by the throat and threw him against the wall next to him. If ordinary people were to be dropped by him like this, they would either be seriously injured or unconscious. But this Chen Nan fell to the ground with his head broken and bleeding, but he didn't seem to feel pain, his eyes were dim, he quickly got up, and pounced on him again.

Beast.

The word came to mind when it was cold. The second time, he didn't show mercy to his subordinates, and his strength was greater, throwing Chen Nan into the corner. This time he finally couldn't get up, and he crawled on the ground, panting like an animal.

Ying Hanshi walked slowly in front of him and asked again, "Where is Xie Jinzhi?" The girl with me? ”

Chen Nan suddenly hugged his head again, looking very painful. "Ah......h......h Know...... Dao ......"

The hands that should be carried behind him when it is cold are slowly tightened.

Suddenly, there was a chaotic and dense sound of footsteps in the courtyard. When he turned around, through the half-covered door, he saw the beast-like faces similar to Chen Nan, and there were more than ten people. When they saw Ying Han, they all showed even more hideous expressions, and then pounced on him.

Ying Hanshi's figure avoided like lightning, jumped out of the window, jumped straight onto the roof, and flew in the direction of the deep mountain. Behind him, the men on all fours also sprang up to the roof, and let out a low, suppressed roar in his direction.

——

When Ying Han was far away, Xiao Qiongyan's shocked voice came from the communicator: ", it's actually a mutant." ”

If it is usual, when it is cold, you must reproach him for swearing. But today, he looked at the night like thick ink, and just quietly said "um".

Xiao Qiongyan also knew that he was worried about Xie Jinzhi, so he thought hard and analyzed, "Commander, how can there be mutants here?" I've checked the household registration and files of those people just now, and they are all natives, and there have been no similar anomalous events in many years. ”

"Can you find out why they mutated?" Asked when it was cold.

Xiao Qiongyan replied: "This requires scanning and analyzing their bodies to get accurate results. However, there are several reasons for variation. One is that they have been injected with the genes of wild beasts to become so fierce and cruel; The second is that they have been exposed to some kind of radiation and have mutated. You know we've seen a lot of this in previous wars. Radiation can cause deformities, personality changes, and physiological changes in humans. It is even possible to produce xenomorphic monsters with super combat effectiveness. Commander, I'll immediately scan the area around the ancient town to see if there are any sources of radiation. But don't go to a dangerous place just yet. ”

When it was cold, he had already jumped to the entrance of the lofty mountains, and when he heard the words, he was silent for a moment, and his eyes were even darker in the night. Then he didn't say anything and ended the communication.

——

At this time, Lin and his subordinate fighters had stopped in a more secluded mountain camp. When the sky was about to dawn, Lin walked out of Ran Yu's tent. With his slightly tough reassurance, the woman finally quieted down aggrievedly. What's more, it is impossible for her to escape from him.

However, between Lin's eyebrows, he was a little tired after all. He returned to the tent where he was used as a conductor, leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly. The appearance of mutants this time was unexpected. Their surprise attack cost him eight men.

However, it doesn't have to be without windfalls. Thinking of the way Ying Hanshi stood under the fighter just now, he smiled slowly.

Shiaya Ancient Temple, when it is cold, do you go or not for the sake of your beloved woman?

At this time, the adjutant beside him asked in a low voice, "Commander, I want to ask, why do you want to lead the star stream to the Stone Silk Temple?" Xie Jinzhi was obviously not there. ”

Lin smiled, stared at the white smoke slowly rising in the air, and replied, "Why did those people mutate?" ”

The adjutant shook his head in confusion.

"You should remember that the wreckage of my ship is buried deep underground in the Ishayaji Temple." He said lightly, "There is a radiation source on the spaceship. Probably recently, it was accidentally dug up by the villagers. ”

The adjutant thought for a moment and replied, "Once the radiation source is exposed to the surface...... The villagers don't know how to deal with it, so ......"

Lin smiled slightly: "So...... I'd love to see if the stars have become beasts. ”

He raised his hand and was about to smoke again, when he suddenly made a move and reached out and pressed his head. The adjutant immediately became nervous: "Commander, another headache?" Does it matter? ”

Cold sweat quickly dripped from his forehead, the look in his eyes changed and changed, and finally he just gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, you go out." ”

——

At the alternation of morning and dusk, gray colors cover the sky and the earth.

When it is cold, he stands outside the gate of Ishiayaji Temple.

It is an ancient temple that has been abandoned, with mottled earthen walls and overgrown with weeds. The cold wind blew, and the hidden rotten wood temple gate creaked and creaked, without the slightest light. Outside the temple, the barking of wild dogs was heard.

He stood for a while when he was cold.

He has searched all over this mountain, and there is no trace of Jinzhi. In the ancient town, Xiao Qiongyan also took advantage of the night to search. She couldn't have disappeared into thin air, and she wasn't in the hands of Lin and the mutants. This is the only place that I haven't looked for.

All kinds of signs were connected, and he had a rough guess in his mind about what would be in the temple. But if Jinzhi is really in it......

She was alone in it, in the midst of radiation.

He raised his hand and slowly pushed the door open.

As soon as his leg crossed the threshold, he was suddenly stunned.

"When it's cold." He heard someone calling out to him, a familiar and slightly panting voice, and with the power of his ears, he couldn't tell where it was.

He looked up suddenly, but there was no figure of her around, and there was no breath of his.

"When it's cold." She shouted again.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the silver light that suddenly appeared around his body, bright and pure like the moon. Then his back sank suddenly, and the familiar and soft body was already attached to him.

"Finally...... Jumping back to you. ”
