206. Chameleon
Dark.
Lightheaded.
Heavy to the point of hopeless pressure.
Falling to the ground, Dean only felt like he had become a canoe on a stormy sea, tossed and swayed in the fierce waves that hit him again and again, about to be destroyed and disintegrated.
No, I'm killing toad people!
Who snuck up on me?
Abyss!
The pitch-black ground in the center of the cemetery suddenly lit up with two rounds of golden suns, radiating a swirl-like and breathtaking magic power towards a radius of ten meters.
The toads who were pressing Dean to the ground, frantically waving their claws and teeth at the transparent armor on their bodies, squirting venom, suddenly moved and looked down at the two rounds of light like marionettes, as devout as monks facing gods.
Their tense limbs unconsciously relaxed, and the menacing expression on their faces became dazed, and then hollow and sluggish, as if their entire minds and souls had been sucked in by the light of the darkness.
It is sucked up and sucked up.
Only an empty shell remains!
Puff, puff...
In a series of muffled heavy objects falling to the ground, the dozens of toad people gathered around Dean fell straight to the ground, lifeless.
Two rounds of the sun disappear.
The abyss is lifted.
Dean gasped and slowly stood up from the pile of corpses, because the ghost armor that protected him had almost disappeared from the countless blows of the previous moment.
The mental power is also close to drying up, and the temples are swollen and cracked.
But he turned around and looked around at the meat grinder-like graveyard, where the two or three hundred toads that had attacked him had all turned into corpses, including the lame toad man marked by homing bullets.
And the shooting that has just been improved in the system has skyrocketed to lv4 (320/500), and abyss lv0 (4→14/100), and this crazy slaughter is worth more than half a year of self-training.
"It's a pity that if it weren't for the sneak attack, the abyss would have been able to stay and deal with stronger enemies. However, the Toad Man's will is so weak that he was directly shocked to death, is it a defect in genetic mutation? ”
Dean dragged his heavy body, packed up his weapons and equipment on the ground, and stepped on the ground full of minced flesh, blood, and staggered back to the mouth of the tunnel.
"Luna, Julie... The crisis is over, come out. ”
"Woo, Dean, I'm sorry, we didn't take care of Luna...", the three grizzled women came out of the tunnel, hugged their knees and cried, "She was caught in the front of the way to protect everyone." ”
Dean's face sank, and the warm, cheerful and brave girl flashed in front of him, "Who captured her?" Toad people? ”
"No, not a toad man." Julie looked at the air with a look of confusion and confusion on her face, "We didn't see what it was, we felt a cold wind rush in, and then the flashlight shone a shimmering and translucent human figure... Luna was dragged away by the humanoid. ”
"Dean, please, save her." Maeve covered her mouth and sobbed, crystal tears sliding down her gray cheeks, "She shouldn't have had an accident, it should be me who has an accident, a coward!" ”
Dean was silent, his previous experience flashed in his mind, combined with the women's statements, and the hints of the mad scientists, and suddenly woke up-
The second-generation biological weapon has invisible superpowers, and has been secretly following them, sneaking up on him at a critical moment and kidnapping Luna!
The progress of the investigation jumped to 100 percent!
"The second generation of bitch!"
Di An's hair was fierce, and he looked at the three of them again, "Which way is it going?" ”
"All I remember is that Luna was dragged into the graveyard after a loud explosion!" ”
Dean nodded.
At that time, the road to the exit of the cemetery was being occupied by himself and the crazy toad people, and the other party should have taken the other way.
He looked up at the dense pipes on the ceiling and was immediately sure that the second generation had dragged Luna inside, but he had no way of knowing which pipe it was, and he would only get lost if he chased it in recklessly.
However, he thought about it, the second generation is not low in intelligence, and there is a high probability that it will bring women to crazy old men and make him create more brothers and sisters.
Dean glanced at the three women with tears on their faces and comforted, "Don't worry too much, women are very precious experimental mothers, they won't kill easily, at least Luna won't die in a few hours." ”
"What to do?" Julie exchanged a look with the two companions and puffed out her chest, "As long as we can save her, we are willing to do anything!" ”
Dean nodded, the stealth superpower was most useful to sneak up on it by surprise, but now that it had revealed the hole card, there were multiple ways to make it visible.
And Dean put himself in his shoes that an intelligent creature with invisible abilities must be full of snooping in his heart.
It can't help but hide in the shadows and admire the anger and horror of its enemies losing their companions, like a cat playing with a mouse.
So at this moment, there is a high probability that there is a second generation lurking around them!
I'm going to draw it out!
Dean called the three women to his side, whispered a few words, and then stuffed a small pitch-black glass bottle into each of their palms.
Then the crowd crossed the ground and went deeper into the graveyard.
The Toad Man launches a general attack here, which means that the place behind is very close to the "end".
……
It's still a long passage, but it's no longer as dark as before, dozens of gas lamps illuminate every corner, and the pale blue flames make the cold space warm.
The tension of the four of them also relaxed, and they soon stopped in the area under a kerosene lamp.
The three women sat down with their backs to the wall, their eyes closed, like three defenseless little sheep.
And Dean took out a few large compressed biscuits and put them in his mouth, chewed and swallowed slowly, and his limbs were supported on the ground like beasts, and then his upper body slowly descended, and his chest and chin were slowly pressed to the ground... Form a difficult flexible pose that uses the chin as a support point to stand upside down.
Combined with special breathing between the mouth and nose.
He entered the Red Dragon meditation state, trying his best to restore his mental strength and physical strength that was close to drying up, and soothe the tiredness of his brain.
He was so engrossed that he seemed to have completely forgotten about the threats around him.
……
Forty minutes later.
The gas lamp burns quietly.
Dean was concentrating on the difficult meditative movements, and the women snored heavily, as if they had fallen asleep.
Calm too boring and lethargic.
The space of one meter below the ceiling suddenly opened up layer by layer of imperceptible transparent folds, like ripples blown by the breeze on the surface of the clear lake, slowly spreading towards the three women who were resting with their eyes closed.
These ripples were transmitted to the front half of Julie's petite face at the very edge, and suddenly disappeared.
Three seconds later.
Yes!
Julie screamed.
A huge force erupted in the void, and steel pincers grabbed her shoulders like pincers, instantly lifting the petite girl into the air.
From a distance, it seems that a pair of invisible ghost hands stretch out of the ceiling and drag her out!
But everyone was ready for the unexpected.
Dean, who had recovered most of his mental strength, stopped meditating for the first time, looked at Julie's suspended position, and the surging mental power shot out, turning into a ball of transparent armor to wrap around her body.
Feeling the coolness outside her body, Julie's panicked mind settled down inexplicably, and she gritted her teeth and threw the glass bottle she was holding in her hand above her head.
Crackling!
Broken glass.
The ink mixed with the pungent smell of gasoline spilled like a drizzle, and was bounced off by Julie's telekinetic shield, but it was plated with a layer of black for the invisible presence behind her.
Suddenly, a pitch-black human face appeared in the transparent air, with a sharp triangular jaw and two large eyeballs protruding like lizards, which were spinning in surprise.
The mastermind behind the scenes is revealed!
Dean pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The air is humming!
.
The 45ACP's incendiary bomb and homing bomb instantly hit the black man's left eye, causing it to explode like a ripe tomato, spurting out a large area of colored blood that spilled into the air like a rainbow after a rain.
At the same time, the gasoline in the ink was ignited by the bullet, and the flames instantly spread across the invisible man's face.
"Ahhh
The invisible man let out a terrible, gruff scream of burning and stinging, letting go of Julie's grip and letting her be swept away by the telekinesis to Harley and Maeve.
It then slammed against the ceiling, slamming into the walls to the left and right, extinguishing the maggot-like flames of the bone-appended body, fast enough to bring out the afterimage.
But the black ink and red flames on its face are more eye-catching than the full moon in the night sky, and it is a bright target!
Dean seized the opportunity.
Bang bang bang!
The M1900 shoots at it continuously, and with precision, the trajectory of each incendiary bomb automatically corrects, ignoring its high-speed evasion.
Bullet after bullet poured into the face of the invisible man with precision
Its left eye exploded, followed by its right eye shattering, and colored blood, broken bones, and brains splattered outwards along with leaping flames.
Whining...
In the piercing scream of despair, the position of the invisible man's mouth suddenly cracked, and a long tongue erupted like lightning, and the tongue volleyed a colorful straight line in the air, spanning a distance of tens of meters, and hitting Dean's neck.
Kiss!
The ghost armor flickered and stubbornly flicked the tongue away, but the sheer force pushed Dean back unconsciously, and his eyes widened, and the flaming invisible man swooped down on him like a falling warplane.
Dean stood there without fear, facing the scorching black shadow rushing overhead, raising his gun and shooting.
Bang bang bang!
In one breath, all twenty rounds were fired, and the figure with billowing smoke rushed in front of him less than two meters.
Dean flipped his left palm and pressed it down.
Poof!
Psychic power slammed into the invisible man's back like a compressor, crushing it to the ground.
Dusty, it crept at Dean's feet, kissing the dust from the soles of his shoes.
But the system doesn't say anything, this thing isn't dead yet!
Dean stepped forward, held the board aloft as if it were a decapitating blade, aimed at the back of its charred neck, and fell suddenly...
Colored flesh splattered, staining Dean's indifferent face and being bounced away by the shield.
A head rolled away like a football.
"You killed? Mastery +10, Combat Lv3 (240→250/400), Activated by Supernatural Hunter, Absorb 0.5 Power and Part of Life Force, Strength: 15→15.5.
……
Call... Suck...
"Sneak attack again, continue to give me 'hee-hee'?" Feeling the swollen and hot muscles under the skin and the revived physical energy, Dean gave the three frightened women a reassuring look and turned the body around.
After death, the invisibility ability is lifted, and it is finally revealed in its entirety.
It has the muscular body of an adult male, and its arms and thighs are clearly visible with iron-like muscles, but its skin is green, not as smooth as a normal person, but covered from head to toe with granular green scales.
It has sharp claws at the ends of its limbs, sharp bone spurs sticking out of its knees and elbows, a large tail curled like a half-meter-long coil on the back of its buttocks, and a pair of green wing-like membranes spread out on its back, which should be a flying tool.
And its bare head has no hair, eyebrows, beard, bulging eyes, a thunderous mouth, a skull nose, two small ear piercings... The shape and size of the facial features are strange and uncoordinated, and they do not look like natural creations.
What's even more amazing is that even after death, the burns on its body and the holes in its face that have been pierced by bullets are still growing granulations and healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dean exclaimed.
No wonder the Toad Man only needed one shot, and this thing didn't die after twenty shots and burning.
Dean was a little glad that he had taken the lead in a sneak attack and had crippled him.
"This is a chameleon?" Julie came over with her two sisters,
"That's right, stealth, tongue-sticking attack, green skin and super self-healing ability," Dean touched Julie's hair and gave the girl an approving look, "The second-generation biological weapon is a chameleon!" ”
Progress jumped to 110 percent.
Dean pondered.
This monster's genes come from the nocturnal species, and the two should look similar.
So the nocturnal species has snake hair, hedgehog heads, and now chameleons, which is really all-encompassing.
……
"Coming to the end soon, there will be a fierce battle, and I have no energy to protect you." Dean looked at the three women, "Let's stay, the toad people are dead, and there should be no other chameleons nearby." ”
"Luna is there, we have to save her." Julie, Hallie, and Maeve looked at each other, clasped each other's hands, and the three pretty faces of different skin tones showed similar resolute looks.
"Dean, you've done enough for everyone, let go of your hands and feet, don't worry about us anymore." Julie stared into his eyes and said sincerely, "If something bad happens to us, it's fate." ”
"Yes, we can help!" Maeve and the two sisters quickly plucked a few gaslamp shades from the walls on either side of the hallway, which they had stored a small amount of gas, and with some manipulation, transformed them into improvised flamethrowers.
Seeing this, Dean no longer dissuaded and continued along this passage.
Less than five minutes.
They entered the third room, which was more complicated than the first two, with more and more sophisticated instruments, including X-ray machines, microscopes, petri dishes... There was also a bed in the corner, and the cups next to the bed were steaming hot.
Apparently not so long ago, there were people in the house.
And Dean's God's perspective also managed to find a few silver hairs from the bed.
"We've come to the right place, it's the mad scientist's bedroom." Dean put the third tape next to the video device.
This time, the old man in the wheelchair on the screen grew older and more decrepit, his entire back collapsed, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, and his face withered like a dying man.
He didn't seem to expect anyone to break into the room, so the tape contained a diary.
"Despite my best efforts, only five second-generation chameleons have been born over the years.
They are so scarce, but they are truly supernatural creatures, and if you add their sleeping father, the underground base already has a supernatural force that cannot be ignored.
The convergence law begins to have a negative effect.
Every year, inexplicable superpowers break into the base.
Most of them were junior telekinesis, speed, and strength elders, and the chameleon easily assassinated them.
But there are exceptions.
Something happened in August 1979.
The technologist's group of fools kidnap an Asian male and throw him into the base along with the rest of the world.
But in fact, this Asian male is a powerful self-healing superpower.
Seeing this, Dean's eyes showed a hint of excitement, and the "shadow" that wrapped around his body also began to fluctuate violently.
Lu Guangming! The Asian man must be Lu Guangming!
Dean went underground, in addition to investigating the disgusting "secret mission" of the army, and also had the purpose of finding out Lu Guangming's whereabouts!
Now it seems that he is not wrong, Lu Guangming has patronized this place!
The progress of the event "Bloodline" began to slowly rise.
"How powerful is his self-healing ability?" The old man on the screen said enviously, "Stronger than a chameleon, half of his head was bitten off and restored to its original state." Under the double attack of one generation and two generations, he can still hide in this huge underground labyrinth. ”
"Not only is his life force tenacious, but his willpower is also impressive. He must have had some kind of strong obsession so much that he survived a month by using the poisonous toad man as food to satisfy his hunger in order to survive! ”
Dean swallowed his saliva and looked at the "shadow" beside him with a faint worried expression.
Is this still the gentle father they remember?
How can an average person bite a toad man?
The old man in the wheelchair looked into the air and shook his head, "I don't know how he did it, but after hiding for a month, he broke into the deepest part of the base without warning, found the nocturnal species I had imprisoned, woke it up from its slumber, and had a brief exchange. ”
Bloodline progress jumped from 25 percent to 27 percent.
"I don't know what they were talking to, I tried to ask the nocturnal species, but they kept their mouths shut, and instead taunted me for burying half my foot in the grave and going to hell."
"Since then, the Asian man has disappeared from the underground base, most likely leaving through another emergency exit, and the military has been wanted for several years without finding his whereabouts."
"God forbid, don't sneak into such a powerful superpower and hurt my little darlings again."
……
The screen flashes and then goes off.
Dean stared not far away, the door that led to the final testing ground.
The next plan is on my mind!
Rescue Luna and deal with chameleons and mad scientists.
Find the nocturnal species and ask about the content of its communication with Lu Guangming and Lu Guangming's whereabouts!
This is the end of the operation!
