Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Yellow Monster
"This kind of monster is actually an important material for the Black Flame Empire?" Liuchen was shocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Liuchen didn't know much about the Black Flame Empire, after listening to this thief's words, Liuchen still felt very incredible, and what he instinctively thought of was that if the Black Flame Empire regarded such a monster as a strategic material, the greatest possibility should be to put this monster into the battlefield and use it as a weapon!
"Yes, I don't need to lie to you like that! But if you don't let me go, I can only tell you so much! I won't say anything more! After all, if I do say it, I will be in great danger myself!" the thief was very resolute this time.
Liuchen looked at him, and his heart was a little shaken, so he threatened again:
"You're not qualified to negotiate terms with me now!"
"Then you can just kill me or send me to the police station, and I won't say anything after that......" The thief still refused.
Liuchen knew that the vines he controlled could only do this, and if he continued to pinch tightly, he would really pinch this thief to death. So, Liuchen's heart softened, so he had to make up a lie:
"Okay, then I promise you! I can let you go once, but if what you said is false, or if you dare to steal anything in the future, I will definitely not let you go! I have left a magic mark on your body, which you can't get rid of!"
"Hehe, of course, don't worry!
So, Flowing Dust made the vines relax a little, and the thief began to tell Flowing Dust what had happened.
It turned out that since the Black Flame Empire established a military base in the back mountain of Epiphany Town, and let the Demon Cavalry Regiment be stationed in Epiphany Town, this humble town has not only improved its military and political status, but also developed rapidly economically.
The military base built by the Black Flame Empire in the back mountains will regularly deliver goods to the Empire. All of this cargo was loaded in the army's ironclad container trucks and escorted by the Demon Cavalry Regiment. The caravans of Epiphany will also follow this convoy and exchange supplies with the cities along the way, and under the protection of the Demon Knights, this trade route is very safe.
At the same time, this secret convoy of the empire can also be hidden as an ordinary caravan to hide people's eyes. The Imperial convoy provides security, and the Epiphany Caravan provides the name, and the two are a match made in heaven.
Because of this, except for the people of Epiphany, the outside world thinks that Epiphany is the trade center of the Empire, and a huge caravan is just an ordinary caravan of the Empire.
Therefore, some small people naturally also set their sights on such a big fat meat.
This thief who was caught by the dust, once because he was obsessed with money, also coveted this mysterious goods escorted by the Black Flame Demon Cavalry, so he and his accomplices planned a stealing theft.
Originally, the staff of the Houshan Military Base were all soldiers, and the labor required in the process of production, packing, and transportation were also soldiers of the Empire, so on the surface, if you want to attack this transport team, it is almost impossible.
However, opportunities will arise and be reserved for those who are prepared, whether that person is good or bad!
By chance, for some reason, the Imperial troops stationed at the military base seemed to have been attacked, and most of the casualties were lost for a while.
However, the transportation work could not be delayed, so the Imperial Army made an exception to requisition labor in the town of Epiphany, but for the sake of secrecy, the labor force in Houshan was still active duty soldiers, and there was no change. And these requisitioned laborers, they are responsible for loading the large iron boxes that are transported down from the back mountain.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the thief and his companion also managed to get into the loading procession.
The thieves' plan was this, and before they did, they found the best blacksmith in town and created a replica that looked exactly like the military iron box. At the time of packing, a truck with this large iron box was parked near the loading and unloading point. After that, the accomplices find a way to cause trouble and distract the supervising officers, while the others steal the big iron box and load it into a truck and take it away.
Because the Imperial Army is understaffed and the number of officers under its supervision is limited, it is difficult to take care of the overall situation, which leads to the easy success of these thieves' operations.
A whole box of military supplies from the Black Flame Empire was also successfully stolen by them.
However, when they transported the iron box to a wilderness outside the city, ready to open it and divide the spoils, a terrible accident happened.
The thieves were still immersed in the joy of success and couldn't wait to pick the lock on the iron box.
However, none of them expected that what awaited them was not an endless treasure of gold and silver, but a nightmare.
When the iron box opened, a yellow translucent monster suddenly crawled out of the iron box.
The monster was viscous, but powerful, and twisted the head of one of the thieves and swallowed it in its stomach. The others were so frightened that they quickly pulled their shotguns out of the truck and attacked the monster.
It's a pity that the bullet can't penetrate the body of this monster at all, so everyone can only drive wildly, but fortunately, this monster is relatively sluggish, and they finally succeeded in throwing this monster away and picking up a life.
After the incident, rumors spread in the town that some medicine pickers had been killed in the mountains and forests, but soon the Empire's troops captured the monster and the matter was settled.
But the thief, who was caught by the dust, was always nervous, and always dreamed of the terrible monster.
After listening to the thief's description, Liuchen was even more confused and asked:
"So, this was a long time ago, and there used to be that kind of monster in this town?"
"That's right, so I thought...... The monster that appeared this time must be the same as the monster in the iron box we stole before, it is too dangerous!" the thief said timidly.
"It's going to be like this......" Liuchen frowned slightly.
"yes, those monsters...... You can't handle it, they're invulnerable, and the Imperial army must be trying to convert them into biological weapons!" said the thief.
"Well, then I see, I have to give feedback to the captain. ”
After Liuchen finished speaking, he was about to use the war song badge, and the thief hurriedly exclaimed:
"Oops...... Didn't you promise to let me go?
Flowing Dust nodded as he used the Warsong Badge.
"Well, I'll let you go!"
After saying that, the flowing dust let go of the vines, and the thief was relieved, and immediately threw himself on the ground and picked up the bag of gold coins, and was about to run.
Who knows, he didn't run a few steps, and suddenly felt a sinking body, and those slippery and greasy vines suddenly appeared on his body again, and this time it actually grew on his body.
"Breeding Technique!" Flowing Dust said a spell.
"You...... How did you go back on your word!" The thief was furious.
"Didn't I already let you go, and what does it have to do with me that so many strange things have suddenly grown on your own body?"
"You bastard...... You ......," the thief cursed angrily.
Dusty ignored him completely, still using the Warsong Badge.
"Dust here, dust here, I find here. ”
After a moment, Ding Man responded:
"What's the situation?"
"I caught a thief who gave me some information about the yellow monster!"
"Well, what about the others?"
"Didn't find it. ”
"Didn't find it!"
"I'm fine here, too. ”
......
Everyone replied one after another, but nothing else was found.
"Alright, let's go back to camp!"
The group returned to the camp, and the thief was brought by the dust.
After listening to the thief's explanation, things have become clear, and the yellow monster that has appeared in Epiphany Town recently has obviously escaped from the abandoned military camp in the back mountain. And if you want to find these yellow monsters, you must go to the abandoned military camp in the back mountain to find clues.
So, after the discussion, Ding Man decided to lead the team to the abandoned camp to investigate.
Before leaving, Ding Man found the village chief again and explained the situation.
"That's the thing, now I suspect that these yellow monsters who have been attacking towns frequently lately are probably living in the military base in the back mountains, and they should have escaped from there! So, tomorrow morning, we're going to go there and have a look. ”
The mayor looked embarrassed and hesitated:
"Captain Ding...... I don't mind you investigating, but after all, it used to be the military forbidden place of the Black Flame Empire, and on the periphery of the base, there are many arcane enchantments set up by high-level arcanists to prevent outsiders from entering. This kind of barrier is all over the back mountain, and if you go into it so rashly, I'm afraid it's still too dangerous......"
"Of course I've already taken this into account, so you don't have to bother!" Ding Man said undeniably.
"Well, be careful, then. The mayor was a little helpless.
After the mayor left, Ding Man said to Avril and Xiaoduo:
"Avril, Xiaoduo, you two go back and have a good rest, and set off with me tomorrow morning!"
"Understood. Xiaoduo replied.
"Uh...... Understood!" Avril was slightly surprised.
"Captain Ding, I want to go too!" said Liuchen.
"No, I can't. Ding Man replied in the affirmative.
"Yes, Captain, I want to go too!" Red K was also very dissatisfied.
"Captain, let's go together!" Da Zhuang echoed.
Ding Man didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with these recruits, so he put on a straight face and said sharply:
"Get out of the way, I'm the captain, you just follow the arrangement! Tomorrow morning, Avril and Xiaoduo will go to the mountains with me to investigate, and everyone else will stay here on standby! If we don't answer within two days, immediately report the situation to the headquarters and ask for support! If the support team doesn't come, don't act on your own! Can you understand?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether they were frightened by Ding Man's voice, or a little at a loss.
"Are you all deaf?" Ding Man scolded loudly.
"Understood. ”
Everyone reluctantly agreed, but they still wanted to go with them, especially Liuchen, he really didn't worry about Avril Lavigne, worried that she would be in danger.
After arranging the task, Ding Man returned to his room, and everyone went to wash up.
Liuchen found Avril and said to her:
"I want to go and talk to Ding Man, replace me with you!"
Avril shook her head and said to Liuchen:
"No, Captain Ding asked me to go with him, in fact, there is a reason, in this week's training, Captain Xue taught me some basic perception skills, and now in the team, only I can sense those traps in the mountains, so I must go with him. ”
Liuchen was silent for a moment, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and muttered:
"Okay...... Then be careful!"
"Well, don't worry! Thank you! I'll take care of myself!" Avril replied with a smile.
"Uh...... Then I'll go back. ”
After Liuchen finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Avril suddenly leaned towards the dust.
The vanilla-like fragrance with a hint of warmth gently adheres to the face.
Liuchen was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Avril's lips had moved away from his cheeks, but this sweetness seeped into his heart through the skin, rippling and spreading.
Avril sprang away, glancing back at Dusty around the corner, smiling.
Liuchen was kissed for the first time, and it was difficult for him to describe his mood and feeling at this time, but it seemed that he was suddenly surrounded by a magical warmth, and the only thing that was clear was his heartbeat.
After washing, Liuchen tossed and turned on the bed, and after hesitating for a long time, he tiptoed to the door of Ding Man's room.
He knocked lightly on the door, thinking that the other party should have fallen asleep, but he didn't expect to get a response from the other party immediately:
"Come in!"
Dusty was a little nervous, twisted the handle, and found that the door was not locked.
Liuchen walked in and found that Ding Man had taken off his clothes and pants at this time, and was only wearing underwear.
Dusty's heart chuckled.
It turned out that under the hem of his trousers were two prosthetic limbs made of steel, glowing in the light.
"Captain Ding...... Your legs ......"
"Well, it's an old injury. Stinky boy, what's the matter if you don't go to bed so late?" Ding Man was holding a big cigar and didn't have a good air.
"Captain Ding, I want to go with you tomorrow!" Liuchen pleaded.
Ding Man looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then spat out his cigarette:
"No way!"
"Why?" exclaimed Liuchen excitedly.
"Because the two people I chose this time have their own roles, and you are gone, it's just a burden!" Ding Man said mercilessly.
"But......" Liuchen was speechless for a while, not knowing how to express his meaning clearly.
"Are you trying to say that Avril is still a girl, and you're afraid that she won't be able to protect herself, and we may not be able to separate the experience to protect her in battle, right?" Ding Man said in a low voice, holding a large cigar.
Liuchen looked at him in amazement, although this was what he wanted to express, but as soon as he said it, he still felt a little embarrassed.
Ding Man's eyes glanced at the motorcycle sunglasses he had placed on the table, and muttered:
"This kind of story can be a bit corny...... But people are always so nostalgic for the old, and sometimes I can't help but take a fucking look at the shit that I pull out! Stinky boy, I used to like a woman like you, and that woman was also my comrade-in-arms, when I was a demon knight of the Black Flame Empire. These biker sunglasses are her gift to me!"
"You were a soldier before you joined the Warsong Legion?" Flowing Dust was a little surprised.
Ding Man took a deep breath of cigarette, his resolute face became a little vicissitudes in the smoke, and his rigid voice was rarely softer:
"Yes, but what about that? I became a deserter after the defeat of that battle, and I failed to protect her, nor my brothers, hehehe...... Didn't even protect his legs......"
The dust was gloomy, and he suddenly felt a trace of sourness in his heart.
"Stinky boy, what kind of expression do you have to die! I just have nothing to do with the past, how can you be more sad than me. Ding Man couldn't help but sneer, and continued, "What I want to tell you is that some people always think too much about their plans, ideals, and the like, and always want to do something well, but in fact, once the process of things is different from his plan, he can't help but want to give up everything!"
"My ideals will not waver, I want to be an excellent Warcraft hunter! I have great strength to protect the people I love! Moreover, I also want to avenge my brother, and I will not shrink because of failure like you! I only care about my own petty profits every day!" Liuchen said firmly.
For Liuchen's ridicule, although Ding Man was stunned, he was not angry at all!
He looked at the dust, and felt that the smoke he had inhaled seemed to be blocking the lobes of his lungs, making him feel a little stuffy.
"You're right, I don't want you to be like that! Maybe you see me as violent, greedy, arrogant, and harsh. Of course, you may be right about me, but I still have to tell you, little ghost, age is a terrible thing, it will keep increasing, but it can make you lose a lot. There are some things that you are too young to understand. ”
"Age is never a bragging rights, and you don't understand that!" replied Liuchen.
Ding Man squinted his eyes slightly, and the scars on his forehead were arched by the green tendons.
However, the anger on his face was fleeting, and he extinguished the half-left cigar.
"Hmph, stinky boy, it's good to be arrogant, I really hope you can go on forever! Go to sleep, Avril, you don't have to worry about it! I'll protect my teammates. ”
Liuchen looked at Ding Man stupidly, but in the end he couldn't convince the other party.
