Chapter 10: The Camp Under Attack
The Eye of the Sky will explore the site of the camp.
The roar of the engines was accompanied by the whirlpool of air currents, and the black helicopter gunship fell on the hurricane. It came to a steady halt between the open spaces of the barracks, and the two black-clad commissioners opened the hatch. A middle-aged man in a coat stepped out of the cabin, his coat fluttering under the storm of propellers.
Wei Chuan, the camp's operations specialist, was already waiting outside the cabin. He saluted when the middle-aged man came down: "Professor Fang." ”
Professor Fang patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "I almost didn't give my life to that unlucky plane." I'm going to have a drink when I'm done with this trip. ”
"Of course. There is a barbecue seven kilometers away, which is quite good. Wei Chuan smiled, "I'm in for a treat." ”
"Then I'm looking forward to it."
Professor Fang was already walking side by side with him as he spoke, and two commissioners from the plane followed behind them, carrying metal boxes equipped with equipment.
"Let's talk about work first." Professor Fang asked as he walked, "The newly discovered containment object yesterday?" What tests have you done so far? ”
"These are all conventional indicators, the radiation value is normal, and the runaway index is stable." Wei Chuan said briefly, "It is preliminarily concluded that the danger sequence is below the first level, and it is a controllable object. ”
"It sounds like it's going to be an easy job like golf." Professor Fang quipped, "Maybe you don't have to wait too long for a barbecue." ”
The two men walked through the tent to the makeshift camp. The newly excavated containment object is lying quietly in the middle of a square glassware, and instead of looking like it is dangerous, it is reminiscent of a museum exhibit.
It was a stone.
It looks like that's exactly what it looks like. If you look closely, the shape may be a little novel, and the irregular shape may make it stand out slightly in the stone queue, but if ordinary people see it on the side of the road, they may still kick it away.
Professor Fang leaned close to the outside of the glass and held his breath for a moment.
"It's a unique texture." He said, "There are similarities with the containment of the OCE department. ”
Wei Chuan crossed his arms and stood behind him: "Very professional opinion, professor." We have surveyors who say the same thing. ”
The professor motioned for the commissioner behind him to hand over his box. He opened the buckle and took out a scanning instrument, which he held in his hand and pointed it at the stone behind the glass when the device was activated, and circled the container twice.
He looked at the readings for a moment, his brow furrowed, and he muttered for a long time without speaking.
"Something is wrong, Professor?" Wei Chuan asked.
Professor Fang did not answer. He repeated the test several times, and then asked another commissioner for his other piece of equipment. He set up a stand on the ground, installed a set of measurement equipment with a base, and operated it quickly on a simple console.
"No, it can't be." He said to himself, "But if it's true......"
"What are you talking about, Professor?" Wei Chuan frowned.
Professor Fang woke up from a dream and stood up suddenly.
"What level of security is the camp now? How many transcendents are there? ”
"Level 3...... I'm the only one. What's wrong, Professor? ”
"Contact the Celestial Eye Society immediately, we need to raise martial law and send more transcendents until we can confirm that the object is ready for containment. This stuff isn't as simple as we thought, it could be ......"
Professor Fang didn't finish speaking, and the sudden alarm sounded throughout the camp in an instant. All the speakers were chirping hysterically, and everyone reflexively tensed.
There are intruders.
This kind of thing is not common, and it is not often that madmen will make a special trip to find trouble with the Tianyan Society. Normally, they are the predators.
But all the commissioners are trained in the most professional way, and even the non-transcendent ones are ready for battle at all times. Everyone came outside, and the light of the camp, which seemed to be quiet and sleepy in the night that had just fallen, suddenly shone brightly, as if awakened by an alarm.
All lights are automatically turned on when the alert is triggered, and the cross-covered lighting disperses the shadows in every corner, and even the bees that strayed in cannot escape the bright surveillance probes.
Gunfire rang out in the camp.
"There was an exchange of fire in the southwest corner." A voice came from the communication channel, "The enemy has armed fire!" ”
Wei Chuan immediately walked out, and before leaving, the other professor said, "Stay here." ”
After saying that, the others had gone out and flew up to the top of the barracks. He looked beyond the barracks and saw the flickering muzzle fire in the southwest corner.
As he had just said, the camp was currently only at the third level of security, and there was only one transcendent under this level. Although the rest of the people are also heavily armed professionals, they are not capable after all.
He has the primary responsibility for the security of the camp.
Wei Chuan was about to go to support, but suddenly noticed the wind behind him. Without thinking, he turned around, drawing his sword almost instinctively.
The blade was unsheathed, and the shiny blade flung out a crescent-shaped wind blade.
Not an exaggerated rhetoric, but a manifestation of his abilities. Wei Chuan is an extraordinary person who controls the wind element, and one of the mainstream applications of wind system ability is the specialization of "chopping". It is in this direction that Wei Chuan majored in, and he was able to combine the will to cut and the wind blade into a blade that was strong enough to cut through steel.
However, it didn't hit.
A man in a black combat uniform appeared behind Wei Chuan. He dodged the knife with a deft movement, the sharp air leaving a shallow scratch on his arm.
"As a commissioner of the eye of the sky, vigilance is indeed extraordinary." The man approved.
He is the transcendent of the Prayer Society, codenamed "The Shadow".
The transcendent sequence of the action commissioner of the Sky Eye is not necessarily high, but the experience and consciousness are by no means second-rate. If it were an ordinary person, even if it was a higher-order transcendent person, he might have already been able to sneak attack him.
Wei Chuan didn't talk nonsense, and reflexively swung the knife again.
The identity and details of the enemy are important, but that is later at interrogation. Now it's more important to take control of the situation, and he has a clear sense of priority.
It was an extremely powerful knife, and the moment it was swung, it was as if all the wind spirits in the entire space were surrounded by the knife. The slashing air blade made his knife unstoppable, and its speed was almost invisible.
Shadow drew his knife as well, but he wielded a pair of dual-wielding short knives. He nimbly avoided the wind blade, and the short knife skillfully struck the blade of the blade to swing away Wei Chuan's blade, and the sharp blade in the other hand went straight into the middle palace.
After only one encounter with Wei Chuan, he was convinced that this man was also extraordinary.
The power that came from that dagger was not something that ordinary humans could have.
The two sides fought fast, and the long and short knives clanged like beads. Two vague figures staggered each other, flying from the top of the barracks to the ground as they fought, like chivalrous knights in old-fashioned martial arts dramas, and the sound of metal beeps echoed in the air.
With a sonorous crisp sound, the short knife in the shadow's right hand broke, and the half-truncated knife spun around and flew away.
He handed over his right hand, retreated two steps in a row, and blocked it a few more times with a single sword, followed by a sonorous sound of the knife in his right hand, which was cut in two. The manic currents rolled towards her like dozens or hundreds of long whips embedded in blades.
Got it.
For a moment, Wei Chuan did have such a thought. He was almost ready to turn back confidently and rush to support his teammates after a single slash.
But it didn't really come back with the feel of the cut.
The moment before the wind blade was about to fall, a smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of Shadow's mouth.
And then it was gone.
Yes, it's as if the world has evaporated. The manic wind blade pierced through where he had just stood, cutting seven or eight rifts in the ground.
Wei Chuan was taken aback. The next second, he felt a chill down his spine come over him, and almost instinctively turned around to block with a horizontal knife. A shadow dodged out of the shadows cast by the light behind him, and a new spare dagger struck him.
While!
The metal collision with the blessing of the great force created a large number of sparks. Wei Chuan was so shocked that he took a few steps back, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
A transcendent who can use shadows to move......
"Good vigilance."
The shadow didn't love to fight, and he retreated as soon as he dipped it, chuckling.
Wei Chuan's pupils shrank when he saw the object he was holding in his hand.
It's the stone, the shelter in this camp.
Professor Fang's words hadn't been finished just now, but those half-sentences were enough to make him realize that this containment object was probably not that simple.
And the enemy is clearly coming at it.
He was the only Transcendent Commissioner present, so it became his responsibility. At all costs, this thing will be prevented from being infiltrated by the enemy.
But before he could launch the next attack, he saw that all the lines on the stone in the shadow's hand were lit up, and the strange blue fluorescence enveloped it entirely, like intertwined LED lights in the dark night.
The next moment, it vanished out of thin air from the shadow's grasp.
Wei Chuan was taken aback and asked in a deep voice, "What did you do?" ”
Shadow laughed, "Looks like you really don't know what this is......"
Wei Chuan narrowed his eyes and drew his knife without saying a word. Now he had to leave this guy behind anyway, and the answers to many of his questions had to be plucked out of this man's mouth.
But before he could draw his sword and charge again, a huge black shadow rose from the ground.
There was an earthquake-like movement, and a crack spread rapidly. The earth cracked exaggeratedly, and a huge black shadow broke out in front of Wei Chuan.
Some kind of huge monster, with brown-black hair all over, horns like cows, a hideous face, and sharp fangs hanging from the corners of its mouth, the mere movement of breaking stirred up dust in the sky.
A treacherous beast.
