Chapter 17 Codename: Overlord Butterfly
City N, Zone B, on the outskirts of Cross Harbor.
Three operatives in camouflage suits were lying under a large tree by the river, where they were covered with branches and leaves, and only the barrel of a black hole protruded from the blade, motionless.
"I said captain, we've been lying here for almost a week, and it rained so heavily yesterday, and the above says that there are changes and changes every day, but there is no change at all, do you say that this group of people who are engaged in research are fooling us?"
A thinner man lying on his left side moved, whining softly.
"Shan Peng! Shut up your foul mouth while you're on a mission, or I'll slap a bait missile in your ass!" ”
The man lying in the center didn't raise his head, and responded viciously.
"Don't don't, I'm wrong Captain."
The young man named Shan Peng hurriedly begged for mercy and continued to monitor motionlessly.
But it didn't take long for him to hold back the urge to break his mouth and ask.
"Hey, Xiao Li, when did you say this organization will arrange for us to strengthen it? I've heard that the Assassin Team next door has gotten a booster spot, so why are we still guarding this thing here? ”
The young man who was called Xiao Li by Shan Peng turned his head slightly, as if he was afraid of the captain's order just now, and he just glanced at Shan Peng and didn't answer anything.
And the captain who was lying in the middle seemed to be touched by Shan Peng's words with some secret in his heart, and he didn't reprimand him again, but picked up Shan Peng's words and said.
"Isn't the reason why the Assassin Team was strengthened this time, isn't it announced by the organization, just to prevent any accidents from the aberration and affect the plan."
"Then why didn't the organization choose us, our greedy wolf squad also made a lot of efforts in the big layout in the early stage of the plan."
The young man named Shan Peng complained indignantly, as if it was not this opportunity to strengthen that he had missed, but his wife who had just passed the door.
"Alright, shut your beak, the organization won't forget our greedy wolves. At 3 o'clock, give me the two secondary infections. ”
"Okay!" Shan Peng readily agreed, and skillfully pushed the bomb to load.
Only listen to the two soft sounds of "poof". On the bridge 100 meters away, two zombies were shot in the head and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the zombie had been dealt with, Shan Peng adjusted the body of the gun and re-aimed at the humanoid giant chrysalis hanging upside down under the bridge hole.
Research Station 22 Action Team - Greedy Wolf
This is the code name of their team, and there are a total of five members in the team: captain Chen Lang, sniper Shan Peng, assaulter Wang Yan, assaulter Fan Jian, and action substitute Li Ming.
Since the implementation of the plan, their team has been tasked with guarding Research Station 22 to prevent the intervention of N City government forces. However, not long after the cataclysm broke out, the organization issued a dispatch order, ordering them to come to the crossroads in Area B to monitor the changes in the aberrations.
The gray-white giant chrysalis hanging upside down at the bottom of the bridge in front of them was the distortion they were trying to monitor.
Codename: Overlord Butterfly.
And their vacant guard posts were filled by the Dark Thorn team transferred from H City.
"Captain, I've heard that the Assassin was transferred this time because the project at Research Station 7 was scrapped." Shan Pengshen said mysteriously.
Chen Lang's pupils narrowed slightly as he stared at the distorted body, tilted his head slightly, and motioned for Shan Peng to continue.
Shan Peng saw that the captain was interested in listening, so he continued to say excitedly.
"I heard that the test subject cultivated by Research Station 7 was originally cultivated well, but the people on Research Station 7 didn't know what the hell was going on, and they wanted to inject the test subject with a king-level virus, saying that they wanted to test what would happen to the king-level virus that was not on the apostle."
Speaking of this, Shan Peng paused and deliberately bought a pass. But Chen Lang's fierce gaze swept over, so frightened that he didn't dare to delay, and immediately continued.
"That's like we don't understand, we all know, where can this king-level virus be endured by ordinary creatures, there were several king-level virus experimental projects in the past, but there was no news later, I guess, the No. 7 test subject is the same as those test subjects, all hung up."
Shan Peng sniffed, seemingly regretting the failure of Research Station 7's experiment.
"Message from the Assassins?" Chen Lang pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"That's right, there is a kid in the dark thorn who is greedy for money, I gave him 5 contribution points and bought this news." Shan Peng said proudly, as if he felt that his ability to inquire had brought great contributions to his team.
"If it's just that the project is scrapped, the action team won't be deployed, after all, there are still plans to be laid out, and the protection of the action team will be needed." A trace of fear flashed in Chen Lang's eyes, and he muttered in a low voice.
"What do you mean, Captain?" Shan Peng also felt a little wrong at this time, guarding the research station was the highest priority in the tasks of their action team, and all the members of the assassination team were dispatched to the No. 22 research station in N City, which meant that it was ......
"Research Station 7, all destroyed, the assassin escaped."
"So Subject 7 didn't die like the other subjects injected with the King-class virus, but caused the destruction of Research Station 7?" Li Ming, who was listening quietly on the side, suddenly spoke, and followed the captain's words to express his inference.
"That's right, and this time the Assassin Team has all been strengthened, and I guess most of it has nothing to do with the affairs of Research Station 7." A trace of worry flashed in Chen Lang's eyes.
"So, the entire Darkthorn Team is being strengthened because their genes may have been contaminated?" Shan Peng moved his arm and moved his body a few more centimeters in the direction of the captain.
"It's all speculation, and the specific situation has not been announced, so it's hard for me to make a judgment." After Chen Lang said this, he kept silent.
In fact, everyone knows very well in their hearts that the process of receiving reinforcement is to inject the secondary virus directly into the body, and then supplemented by tissue immune agents, it is said that there will be a high success rate to be strengthened, but the specific success rate is not announced by the organization, after all, if the enhancement fails, it is directly infected and becomes a zombie.
Therefore, few people in the action team will take the initiative to apply for reinforcement, except for the freak of Shan Peng.
As a sniper, he can be said to be extremely fanatical about the effect of the enhancement.
"Eh Xiao Li, where did you say the virus samples in this tissue came from? The efficiency and lethality of this infection are really incredible! Shan Peng saw that the topic of Research Station 7 had come to an end, so he brought up another topic, which could not be blamed for his talking, after all, this surveillance mission was indeed too boring.
"You've really lived enough! You can also dare to inquire about this! You're not afraid that the top will chop you up......" Chen Lang, who was originally calm, heard this, his face immediately changed greatly, and he lowered his voice and reprimanded him fiercely, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a strange movement.
The giant chrysalis, which had been motionless, had begun to writhe slightly, and at the same time there were bursts of piercing noises coming from it, like cicadas, but the frequency was obviously much higher.
"It's not good, the distortion is changing, all team members pay attention, wait for the order to fire." Chen Lang reacted quickly, aiming his gun at the distortion hanging upside down under the bridge hole, and turning on the public channel in the headset.
"Yes, Fan Jian received it." "Yes, Wang Yan received it." The voices received by a man and a woman came from the headphones at the same time, and these two were the two assaulters of the greedy wolf team - Wang Yan and Fan Jian.
"Shan Peng received!" Shan Peng, who was originally hippie and smiling, also changed his previous appearance, and the scope of the sniper rifle was aimed at the upside-down giant chrysalis a hundred meters away, and replied in a deep voice.
"Li Ming received!" Xiao Li, who was lying on the right, put down the telescope in his hand, took out a small laptop from the backpack behind his back, and began data analysis.
After a regular tremor, the gray-white appearance of the giant chrysalis began to slowly turn reddish-brown, as if there was liquid oozing out of it, impregnating the shell, which looked extremely strange.
"Life energy fluctuates violently, and it is already vaguely about to break through the third level!" Li Ming stared at the constantly beating numbers on the screen, and the data transmitted by the tiny detectors attached to the distortion all showed that the distortion codenamed "Overlord Butterfly" was waking up quickly from its dormant state.
"Finally out of the shell...... Shan Peng's muscles tensed, and once the situation was not right, he pulled the trigger and killed the deviant.
"Where's the Apostle?" Chen Lang asked into the headset, the changes in front of him exceeded his expectations, I thought that this aberration would be a long time away from breaking out of the shell, but judging from the data, it is estimated that it will not be a while and a half before it will break out of the shell.
The task of his team has also changed from the original monitoring of the aberration to assisting the apostle "Judas" to suppress the aberrations, if "Judas" cannot suppress the aberrations, their own team will kill the aberrations and bring the corpse back to Research Station 22.
"Within 5 minutes, please do your job of suppressing the aberrations before the Apostle arrives." A cold female voice came from the earphones, and Chen Lang didn't talk much nonsense, and began to arrange combat missions to his subordinates.
"5 minutes, I hope this monster will break slowly!" Chen Lang prayed silently in his heart.
If you want to say why a team of heavily armed and loaded teams would be afraid of such an aberrant that is waking up, it is mostly because of Li Ming's sentence: "The fluctuation of life energy is already vaguely about to break through the third level." ”
You must know that the experimental subject they cultivated at Research Station 22, the six-eyed parrot, only broke through the second level some time ago, and this is still a single mutant beast after being infected by the virus, so it needs to be tethered with a chain as thick as a baby's forearm, and some weapons with less kinetic energy, such as pistols, can no longer hurt it.
According to the information given by the organization, among the organisms that also have level 2 life energy fluctuations, the strength of the secondary infected body is the weakest, and the strength of the single body is slightly stronger, and then there are heterozygotes, and above the heterozygotes, there are mysterious aberrations.
Among them, secondary infectives, monosomes, and hybrids can all be suppressed by king-level virus infections, that is, obey the orders of king-level infections. Aberrations, on the other hand, are full of unknowns.
According to the information released by the organization, in the previous experiments, some of the aberrations were able to be suppressed by the king-level virus infector, but some did not react in the slightest, but instead showed a desire to kill the other party.
And their research station 22 happened to have one of the thirteen apostles, the thirteenth apostle Judas. And the only humanoid apostle.
Therefore, the existence of the aberration this time, the organization did not directly order the erasure, but chose to send Judas to suppress it.
If it can be successful, then the organization will have another point of combat power, and the organization's plan can be better implemented; If it can't be suppressed, then the Greedy Wolf Squad assists the Apostle Judas in killing the deviant.
"It is said that this Judas ate the test subject of our research station two days ago, and he still eats it raw......
When Shan Peng heard that Judas would arrive within 5 minutes, he couldn't help but shudder and muttered in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
And when Chen Lang heard this, he glared at this talkative guy fiercely, but now he is opening a public channel, if this stupid guy with a broken mouth says the wrong thing and lets the boss listen to it, then how can his team have a good life.
"Poof" sounded like a tearing of clothes from under the bridge. Immediately added a bit of heaviness to the already oppressive atmosphere.
Through the scope on the gun, Chen Lang could see that a human face covered with carapace was slowly poking out from the crack at the bottom of the giant chrysalis.
