Chapter 23: The Hunt
Levmila took off her goggles and crouched down to observe the permafrost at her feet. Luo Yin used the mirror pupil to collect deeper details and provide it to Lao Lie for judgment.
They have been wandering in the Siberian wilderness for four days, in the direction of the North Coast. The employer must be on the hunt for some cunning prey, and these half-alive, half-dead serpents are his loyal hounds.
No, I'm the head of the employer's hounds. The veteran laughed at himself in his heart, and now he got on the thief ship.
"About two days ago, heavy sleds passed by here. The traces of that behemoth cannot be completely concealed by the snow. They also came from the direction of the coast. ”
Levmila stood up and thumped her stiff back. The first time I rode the corpse guard, it was normal to be nervous. But in fact, this monster with a unique body structure moves more smoothly than armored vehicles and quieter than big cats.
"What the hell are we looking for?"
"It was probably in the late 90s, in the world after the death of giants, that there were some rumors in this country. A special train, and some special people. ”
Susie let out a light breath and handed the red card vodka in the inner compartment of the coat to Lao Lie. As she was used to, this bottle would not last tonight.
Luo Yin concentrated on planning the search route on the satellite map. With the area of Siberia, if you just rely on luck, you don't want to catch the tail of the evolutionary faction for most of the year.
"We received an invitation with the coordinates of an abandoned station on the Siberian border.
According to many rumors, every year a ghost train disappears after entering the northern part of the Siberian Plain.
In addition, in the mid-90s, a strange rumor appeared in many parts of the Russian North. A number of strangers appeared in the city, who were generally backward in language and style of dress, and often forgot that the Motherland had disintegrated. ”
They come from the isolated wilderness of Siberia. Levmila immediately had in his mind in addition to such thoughts.
He lived through those chaotic and sad times. The public system is in complete shock, the power of the gangsters is inflated without limits, and a large number of oligarchs eat everything in the Motherland.
Levmila had heard too many rumors at the time. The lace bars of the tabloids, all kinds of gossip in the streets, from the comeback of Nazi to the princess of the Tsar family.
Everything was in tatters, staring blankly at the firewood in the fireplace, thinking about tomorrow's bread. The book was spread out on the wooden table and not a word was read, and when I woke up in the middle of the night, the smell of inferior cigarettes and dust in my throat could not be dissipated.
Even the most incredible rumors had a credibility in those days.
"In the northern wilderness, there are settlements of an objective scope. Considering the atmosphere of the world at the time, it wasn't surprising that something like that would be built.
Those shelters may have ceased to function, but as times changed, another group of people 'wasted' them. ”
Luo Yin suspects that the evolutionary faction in Siberia may have risen by plundering huge resources in the chaos, and there may be their spokesmen hidden among the oligarchs.
But no matter how well the Evolutionists or the Darkside Monarch hide themselves, those shelters will inevitably need material aid from the outside. After all, it's hard to find a third crop in this hellish place, except for potatoes and beets.
"Transporting supplies by land, the traces are too obvious. Their choice is most likely to be a giant icebreaker, which will pass through a specific route and supply supplies at regular intervals. ”
In other words, employers are looking for a cluster of cities that have been hidden for decades on top of the ice fields.
It sounds extremely ridiculous at first, but Luo Yin's attitude makes it difficult for Lao Lie not to be convinced. He really brought an army of monsters.
"What about electricity and water?"
"Graphite water-cooled reactors have been successfully experimented for 54 years, and many people have a deep love for thermal neutron reactors at that time. The Arctic you are serving on is also nuclear-powered. ”
Luo Yin gradually narrowed the scope of his suspicion on the map, and his expression was a little subtle. Without Chernobyl, the nuclear content of today's world would be frighteningly high.
"What direction is the sled track just now?"
Levmila pointed to the southwest.
"About 200 meters, the trace will be broken."
"Let's try our luck."
Luo Yin gave a new command to the corpse guard, and the sickles surrounded the three of them in groups, flying low against the ice, blade-like bone wings tearing the north wind layer by layer.
————————————
After roaming the wilderness of the Arctic Circle for a long time, people's perception of the change of day and night gradually fades in the ice and snow.
Luo Yin and Susie, who set foot in the far north for the first time, did not feel uncomfortable, at most they were a little aesthetically tired of the scene on the ice field. On the contrary, it is the old column that is most familiar with this place, and needs a short break.
Levmila was a little skeptical that the hybrids he had worked with in the past might be fake.
"Assuming there is a shelter in this area, we are not far from finding it."
Lao Lie drank some spirits, still a little incredulous.
In this age of thousands of satellites operating in space, it is inconceivable to hide one or more settlements. If you build fortifications in mountains or underground, the amount of work is exaggerated.
But as the traces of the sideways are piling up, the "kingdom in the ice field" is becoming more and more real.
Luo Yin stretched out his hand, causing the dark red aether to spread around the ice, like jewel-colored blood.
Multiple alchemy arrays were constructed at the same time. The fire element is used to refine metals, and the earth element reshapes the terrain to gather thin water vapor in the atmosphere to form an ice crust.
In less than two minutes, a makeshift fortress was born in its place, and the interior was even provided with lights and a fireplace. Despite the rough exterior of the fortress, Levmila was impressed.
Luo Yin touched his chin and added two more alchemy arrays outside the fortress, the illusion creation from the dream tapir, and the magnetic field interference of the sword emperor. There are also a few corpses guarding the door outside, and they are not stable.
Descending from the sky, Susie lifted her metal armor and stepped into the gradually warming fortress, cutting out a few wine glasses from the transparent ice crystals that had just been refined.
"There are no fortifications, it should be an underground shelter."
Luo Yin nodded, expectedly. In the context of the Cold War, underground bomb shelters are very popular.
"Cheers."
"Cheers."
Susie didn't complain about the ice milk in Luo's hand, and she got used to it when she saw too much.
Levmila rubbed her hands together to further clarify her role. He is a humanoid navigation pendant, and everything will be fine if he can protect himself.
Not to mention that he is a detective and military doctor, even if he drives a destroyer, he may not be able to use the two monsters in front of him.
"Old Lie, how is the treatment of the secret party to you?"
Luo Yin asked casually. The number of mixed races is too small, and a lot of auxiliary work in the executive department needs to be completed with the help of ordinary people.
Levmila was a little surprised.
"It's good. Much higher than a pension, and the job is not as dangerous as a mercenary. ”
He is not fluent in Chinese, but his accent is not heavy.
"I don't think it's that strange, half-breeds are just special people after all. I always thought that Principal Angers was just an exception. ”
Until today.
Luo Yin smiled, the secret party has always been cheerful in giving money, unlike a certain empire that does not want to be named.
"Yes, part-time job, it's almost the same everywhere."
"Just a means to make money. My comrades-in-arms and I have long since left us with whom we can be loyal. ”
Susie sat cross-legged on the stone floor, tending to the frosty black sword one by one, and time passed irreversibly little by little like vodka in a wine bottle.
......
Luo Yin, who was resting in pretending to sleep, slowly opened his eyes. The prey, at last, has emerged.
Wind King's level of perception, coupled with the monotonous environment on the ice sheet, allowed him to detect any anomalous changes within a radius of several kilometers in time.
A few seconds later, Susie opened her eyes as well. It's a small drone.
Under the premise of extremely low domain strength, the range of her sword is ridiculously large, and this high-speed metal object resembles a large fluttering moth in her perception.
Susie looked at Luo Yin, and he shook his head. The prey is finally on the rise, and this opportunity must be cherished.
"That's, that's what! How can there be a python in Siberia! ”
City 12, minus four floors, the man who was slightly drunk yawned, and was suddenly awakened by the picture transmitted by the drone.
Zooming in, he could see exactly how it was two extremely strong snake-like Deadpools over seven meters long, galloping at a speed of forty yards on the ice field.
Even in northern Siberia, there are often special circumstances that trigger the primary alert in city 12. For example, the scientific expedition team that happened to pass by was more often just a large wild animal.
But this time it was different, and the entire negative four floors were noisy.
"Sir! Did there be a leak in our Deadpool lab? ”
"Idiot! We are not responsible for Deadpool training, and raising Deadpool is the task of 8 and 17. ”
The chief, dressed in a dark green tweed coat, was slightly panicked in the face of the sudden change. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation.
He had only been on a secret mission two years earlier and had been transferred to work in the secluded underground sanctuary of City 12. With the exception of his colleagues in the other shelters, he is not allowed or able to interact with the outside world.
In conversations with his colleagues, Mikhail learned that there are several other shelters like City 12, and that the scale of the individual shelters is no less than that of a small city.
Small shelters like City 12 can only do things like serum extraction and clinical trials, and are never open to anyone from the outside world.
Damn it...... If you report it upwards, things are bound to get complicated, and it's unknown what will happen to Leak Deadpool's shelter.
"Activate the high explosives carried by the drone, and after killing Deadpool, it will be recovered by the β team."
"Roger."
Two of the four drones changed direction at the same time and flew towards the two corpse guards commanded by Luo Yin remotely.
Before the explosives could ignite, the two corpses suddenly twisted their bodies in reverse without warning, struggling to open the dragon wings that were only bones.
With a cross-slash of long claws like a sickle, the two drones suddenly died at a height of nearly ten meters above the ground.
"Deadpool in dragon shape! Has the product of City 8 reached this level, withdrawn ......"
The third drone was scrapped, and only the last one was left to pull up in time and escape from the corpses that lacked flight ability.
"Lock them down! Let the drone continue to track. ”
Within a few seconds, Mikhail fell silent. The two corpses dug up the frozen ground that was harder than the rocks under the camera, and disappeared without a trace after a while. Is this the intelligence that Deadpool should have?
"Dispatch α squads, force them out, and allow the use of all conventional ground weapons. Help me contact cities 8 and 17, hell, their security sucks! ”
Mikhail was inexplicably a little excited. Working in this dark and closed shelter is torture for anyone. He, the so-called governor, was not spared, and fortunately he had a year to return to Moscow.
Although the appearance of Deadpool in the shape of a dragon is quite scary, it is also a spice for life in a sense. He was finally able to use the weapons that were about to gather dust.
......
As soon as Levmila woke up, she heard a very bad sound from afar.
The powerful roar of the aircraft's engines became more and more pronounced from far to near. He was in a trance, because Levmila remembered the sound, but it was just ...... This time the flight direction was reversed.
"α squad, strafe low in the direction of your flight, provoke Deadpool, and finish them off with Molotov cocktails."
"Roger."
The two pilots replied at the same time, firing the plane's pretended double-barreled cannon, which rained 50 rounds per second into the frozen ground. Rocks and ice chips exploded in large shards, and corpses lay dormant quietly in the dug caverns under command.
"Su-25! How could there be such a thing in a shelter! ”
Levmila understood at this time that he had a major misunderstanding of the nature of the shelter sought by his employer.
In World War I, World War II, and even the major events of the eighties and nineties, there was the shadow of evolutionary intervention. They have no fixed position, and the sole purpose of participating in human warfare is to strengthen themselves.
Both the Doomsday and the Dark-Side Monarch lurk in the Arctic Circle, but the latter has far greater ambitions.
"Su-25? I don't know much, what about the performance? ”
Luo Yin and Susie walked outside the makeshift fortress, not worried about being spotted by fighters in the distance.
"Subsonic attack aircraft, the main function is to target ground targets, and the anti-aircraft capabilities are not strong. Sales were not very good, and after the 80s, everyone went to develop fighters and bombers. ”
So it fell into the pocket of the evolutionists. Luo Yin frowned slightly.
As soon as Levmila pulled out his binoculars, he found that Luo Yin and Susie had disappeared, leaving only the other two corpse guards on standby glaring at him with big golden eyes.
"Second round of strafing! Empty the cannon bullets! ”
Two Su-25s plowed the frozen soil and finally detected the location of the corpse.
Even if it is a semi-alchemical creature, the dragon blood activated in the angry state will cause the corpse's body temperature to rise extremely high.
Incendiary bombs, ready to fire......
"Keep your mouth alive."
α team didn't notice that two creatures were flying with them at high speed from the start.
The mirror pupil instantly analyzed the internal structure of the attack aircraft, and Luo Yin simplified it and shared it with Susie through the snake device.
In the hands of a super hybrid, Sword Royal is an extremely lethal spirit. Its main drawback is that it does not work well on most recycled metals. Modern weapons are not among them.
The incendiary launcher failed. The two pilots suddenly went blank in their brains, the fighter plane fell into a stall, and the engine stopped working.
Even if the throttle stick is pushed to the end, the fighter plane is slowing down rapidly and falling out of control.
Susie in the dragon state clenched her fist lightly, and the tail of the Su-25 burst out with brilliant sparks, but perfectly avoided the fuel tank.
For the next ten seconds, the two pilots watched in mid-air as the fighter plane was dismantled into pieces. Two dragon claws, one black and one white, violently tore open the hatch cover, pulling out the two members of the α team.
More than twenty meters from the ground, Luo Yin and Susie vibrated the dragon wings, grabbed the hostages and stayed away from the fall point.
"Nikolai! Ivan! Report ......"
Ice, steel, and fire exploded across the wasteland, α the team's communications were cut off.
Even if Mikhail panicked, he realized that this was not some accidental leak from Deadpool. What happened to them was much, much more terrifying.
"Everyone, prepare for war! Seal off the second and third basement floors and inform the doctor to evacuate immediately! ”
In terms of pathogen, Luo Yin gently gave the captives two big fights, so that the two people who suffered comminuted fractures in their worldview were a little more sober.
In the system's message bar, the names of the two captives are followed by the number 12α7. Natsumi No. 2 just has a ', and the numbers of these two people look a bit like wholesale goods.
Clone the Legion? But they have a mediocre pedigree, just B-.
"Lead the way."
The furious royal domain, with a tsunami-like mental pressure, instantly destroyed the psychological defense of Nikolai and Ivan.
At this time, Levmila finally arrived at the scene with the corpse guard, and Luo Yin and Susie had already flown in the direction of City 12, and the air was compressed and blasted in a circle behind them.
Lao Lie thought for a while, and understood that Luo Yin felt stable when he first heard the "subsonic", and the speed of the old-fashioned fighter was not a threat in the eyes of the monsters, and the only difficulty was to catch it alive.
At this moment, he has a hundred million points to want to run away. But this thief ship is obviously not so easy to get off.
