272. On a snowy night, ice flowers in the fire
The lieutenant on duty in the boiler room collapsed on the duty table, still holding a bottle of red-card vodka in his hand.
A steel core bullet pierced his heart, and Bondarev stood behind the lieutenant with a Markov pistol.
Herzog lit matches and threw them into the tank filled with fuel, and it took only a second for the flames to rush into the cold storage.
The fire roasted the thick ice, and the embryos the size of thumbs were faintly frozen in the ice.
"Are they all embryos mixed with dragon genes?" Bondarev asked.
"It's a product with immature technology, and it can get out of control."
The doctor wiped the fuel off his hands, "If we grow up, it might be our trouble. β
"Or even turn into a dragon?" Bondarev asked.
"I don't know, anyway, the second generation will be better, powerful and controllable...... The next target was the Archives, where we had to burn all the drawings we didn't need, which made me feel like I was going back to the time when Berlin was stormed, and all the institutions in Berlin were burning fires and burning all the documents. β
"Eleven o'clock in twenty minutes, and the young people in the Golden Hall are having a good time?"
Bondarev slung a large tank of fuel oil on his shoulders and walked out of the boiler room side by side with Herzog, stepping on the sticky blood.
"I hope to seize the last time of my life and enjoy the fun of being with the opposite sex." Herzog said coldly.
Behind them, the floodgates of the oil tank opened, and tons of fuel poured down on the ground, and the extra fuel allocated to the boiler room was not only used to heat it, but also to burn it.
After they walked a few hundred meters, with a thunderous bang, the flames engulfed the cold storage, and the oil explosion reduced the two floors to ashes along with the delicate embryos.
At the end of the dock, the Doctor and Bondarev turned to look back at the burning Black Swan Harbor, where flames erupted from every window, and explosions erupted......
Wrong!
Why are there no movement in a few windows?
That location is...... Hall?
What's going on?
It stands to reason that the people in the Golden Hall are now completely controlled by hallucinogens, and they will be immersed in the joyous accordion and Christmas caroling, imagining that they have returned to Moscow, where singing and dancing, and then facing death in this grand fireworks display.
But the current situation is clearly out of the script.
Not only did the Golden Hall not explode as planned, but even the psychedelic singing and dancing were silenced.
What's really going on there?
Herzog frowned, a hint of bad premonition welling up in his heart.
As if confirming his premonition, in the next moment, a huge ice edge broke through the floor-to-ceiling window and stabbed out of the golden hall!
Immediately afterwards, countless ice spikes grew out from all directions, turning the Golden Hall into an ice flower blooming in a sea of fire!
The explosion continued, but neither Herzog nor Bondarev was in the mood to pay attention to the progress of the plan at this time, and they looked at the ice flower in the distance, not feeling that this was a power that humans could control.
God alone.
This is something that only God can do.
But God is dead, not only dead, but frozen in the permafrost.
So......
"Is that him?"
The cigarette on Bondarev's mouth had burned to the end unconsciously, and he was burned by the cigarette butt before he reacted in hindsight and asked.
Herzog knew what Bondarev was asking, and that was what he wanted to know as well.
He knew much more about Black Swan Harbor than Bondarev, so he knew very well that no one, whether it was a soldier or a nurse, or a child as a test subject, could do this.
Even if the test has already been implanted with perfect genes, it will not work.
So who did it?
Herzog was not entirely without suspicions, at least in his guesses, three targets were suspicious.
Maybe it's a god who has been sealed in ice and doesn't know how long he has been "dead".
Maybe it's something that has never been in control, that unknown Zero.
Most likely, of course, the intruder who suddenly appeared last night, and Bondarev asked about him.
But the method used by the intruder last night was obviously not the same as the current ice, so he could not say for a moment that it must have been done by the intruder.
But no matter which of the three targets is, just looking at this destruction, the two of them are no match for each other.
Moreover, they did not intend to clash with each other head-on.
Everything in Black Swan Harbor has nothing to do with them now, and there is only one thing they have to do now, and that is to get out of here as soon as possible, as far away as possible.
Herzog did not answer Bondarev's question and turned away: "Let's go." β
Bondarev looked at the ice flowers blooming in the Black Swan Harbor, and a flash of fire flashed in his eyes, and then quickly covered the past.
He was not just a half-breed disguised as an ordinary person, nor was he just the last descendant of the Romanov dynasty, nor was he just an elite agent of the KGB.
In fact, his arrival at Black Swan Harbor this time had nothing to do with the Crimson Country or the KGB.
He was purposefully assigned to the Black Swan Harbor.
His goal was Herzog, and the power of the gods depended on Herzog's research.
Until then, God has always been a God on high.
Wait, be patient, do what the Lord wanted, even if it required giving your own life!
The frenzy on Bondarev's face flashed, followed by cunning like a male fox, and he turned around and caught up with Herzog without looking back: "Verkhoyansk can already be observed here?" β
"No, they can't observe, visibility is too low in a blizzard. However, the infrared signal can be observed by orbiting satellites. Herzog said, "The air squadron will send Su-27 fighters to check, but the weather is too bad, even ace pilots have to make a lot of preparations for takeoff, I calculate that they will arrive around 23:45, if they hover in the air, the vacuum bomb can shoot down the Su-27." It looks more like an accident.
"You are truly the worst villain in the history of mankind." Bondarev said.
"In the worldview of the dragon clan, there is no good or evil, only strong and weak." Herzog said.
Two dog sleds were parked on the frozen sea, one carrying four sleeping boys, and the other was two metal insulated cabins side by side, and Bondarev opened the thermal chambers to confirm that inside were two young boys less than a year old, with tubes of nutrient solution and oxygen masks. They have never made an appearance in Black Swan Harbor, and they have never even seen the sun.
"The second generation of products, flawless, they are pregnant with the power to change the world," Herzog said, gazing at the boys' faces, "When we have more finished products, we can rewrite human history and hold the world firmly in our hands!" β
"One last look at where your dreams have come true."
Bondarev looked at the building shrouded in flames, and the ice flowers blooming in the flames: "No matter how many times you look at it, it is shocking, this belongs to the power of God...... At least we have to mourn the dead, but the hands that want to control the world always have to be covered in blood. β
"Your mercy, Your Majesty, your mercy sounds hypocritical, but people with false compassion are good candidates for leadership," Herzog said, "I just regret that the dragon bone cannot be taken with me, and that we have not studied it sufficiently." β
"It's so big, it's still hidden in the rock formations, we don't have enough time to dig it out, but the power of the vacuum bomb is mainly concentrated on the ground, it won't endanger it, it will be buried in the ground again, no one can dig it out through the permafrost, and when we have mastered the whole world, you can go back to the old place, dig it out and put it in your museum every day."
"That's a good idea." Herzog nodded.
They each stepped on a sleigh and shook the reins.
The sled dogs roared, but didn't move, shaving the ice with their sharp paws, and roaring at the burning Black Swan Harbor, as if there was something there that they couldn't bear to behold.
"Hell, I forgot to bring the with me!"
Herzog frowned: "The sled dogs here are all descendants of two female dogs, Mia and Agata and Mia brought it out, but Agata is probably still in the dog pen, and the sled dogs on your sled are all Agata children." β
"Forget it, give them up, the children of Agata won't run, the children of Mia won't run, and a sleigh will be enough for us to leave, and carry the goods to me."
Then Herzog heard the wind change in his head, and the beam of the searchlight hit him, and he turned sharply to see a huge black shadow suspended in the air, and the rotors stirred up the snow.
It was the heavy helicopter "Halo" on the Lenin, which ventured to the Black Swan Harbor in such bad weather.
"Didn't you say that the aura can't fly in a blizzard of this magnitude?" Herzog froze.
Something hard pressed against his back, it was Bondarev's Makarov pistol, and the steel core bullets pierced the doctor's chest one after another, tearing the aging heart into countless pieces.
Herzog spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of his lungs, which were destroyed by the way.
He forced a turn to look at Bondarev, his eyes full of shock.
"Without me...... You can't finish your research......" he hissed.
"We didn't want to finish your research at all."
Bondarev's eyes shone with a gorgeous gold.
"What the hell are you ...... Who is it? β
Bondarev grabbed Herzog and injected him with adrenaline with an air needle: "Hold on for one more minute and see the most gorgeous scene." β
The Black Swan Harbor suddenly shook violently, and the sound of serial explosions spread from the ground up, but it was not a vacuum bomb that was detonated in advance, if it was a vacuum bomb, it would be razed to the ground within a square kilometer radius.
A flash of fire rose, and countless fragments of frozen earth were sprinkled on the frozen sea.
"Engineering thunderbolt?" The doctor hissed.
"The new type of engineering thunder, even if it is a 10,000-year-old permafrost, can be exploded as long as the chiseled blast hole is suitable."
Bondarev loaded Makarov with bullets one by one, accompanied by the clicking sound of the machine, Bondarev explained: "Now in a place where you can't see, there is a huge hole with a depth of 180 meters, leading to Rasputin's cave, we will use a laser to cut through the ice and take away the precious collection that originally belonged to you, you have been isolated from the outside world for too long, you do not know the progress of engineering, today it is not difficult to chisel through the permafrost in an instant, as long as I find out its location." β
"You...... I want to take that dragon away! "The doctor understood.
"Yes."
Bondarev said this, but it wasn't, it was just part of a plan, a small design that Herzog was determined to study.
The lord seemed to have planned everything a long time ago, and he only needed to act as a man as cunning as a fox and as a wolf according to the script given by the adult.
Bondarev walked to the sleigh and shot four bullets into the chests of each of the four children.
The children died without a struggle from the power of powerful hypnotics.
This is pure slaughter.
"For a great cause, you are not the only one who is willing to sacrifice your life."
Bondarev pressed his chest and mourned in silence for the children he had just killed, looking reverent.
He took out an ice axe and cut a hole in the ice: "I have to dig an ice hole to hide you, vacuum bombs will not completely destroy your body, but they will destroy you to the point where you can't make out the wounds, and the investigation team in Moscow will find out your identity based on your charred bones, which is what I planned to destroy without survivors." And I'm not a member of Black Swan Harbor, and no one would think to search for my body. β
The snowflakes fell into the doctor's wide eyes, and they did not melt for a long time, and in such a cold area, the death of a person quickly cooled down.
Of course, Bondarev knew very well that the thing was not dead.
As an elite agent who could hear the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings in the jungle, and at the same time a half-breed no less than Herzog's bloodline, how could he not tell if Herzog's heart was on the left or right?
He deliberately missed.
A group of sled dogs rushed to the burning Black Swan Harbor, presumably to find their mother.
Bondarev looked at everything in front of him coldly, and looked at the Black Swan Harbor again, and the most dazzling thing was still the ice flower that bloomed in the flames.
This is the power of God......
It's really mouth-watering, great power.
It's a pity, compared to which adult......
Bondarev checked to make sure Herzog wasn't so likely to suffocate or freeze to death, then nodded in satisfaction and drove the other sleigh away.
He was going to set up the next venue as soon as possible and wait for Herzog to find him.
For the plans of adults......
ββ
Black Swan Harbor, Golden Hall.
Cold, biting cold.
Even though Black Swan Harbor had turned into a sea of fire, and there was a faint explosion in the distance, Renata still felt cold, so cold that she hugged Zorro the bear tightly, and it was so cold that she drilled into Zero's arms.
After all, in the center of this ice flower surrounded by a sea of fire, it was now a solid ice fortress, and the ice wall was at least half a meter thick.
But that's not why the little girl feels cold.
What's more, in the ice wall of this ice fortress, countless people with different postures are frozen in it, and the refreshing chill brought by that weirdness is the main reason why Renata feels cold.
One thing to say, Zero's coat is really good, it looks quite warm, unlike Gu Bei's windbreaker, which is thin and leaky.
Gu Bei smiled, and just wanted to say something, when he suddenly realized that the mark he had secretly left on Herzog's body last night had been touched.
Herzog's breath suddenly withered.
And the other markβthe one on Bondarev's bodyβis a black swan harbor based on a very fast principle.
So, the person who brought Eri to Tokyo was Bondarev?
Wrong......
Herzog isn't dead yet!
