Chapter 98 Alien Keywords

There are three alien species in the bar.

Tengshe was sitting behind the bar, opposite him was the alien girl who had just attacked him, and next to him was the skinny man.

Except for the Teng Snake, the other two alien species have been transformed. Behind the girl, there is a long transparent substance floating, which looks like the tentacles of a jellyfish, and behind the thin man is a pair of thin wings, which are transparent and slender.

It was the girl who attacked Yang Cheng just now. Yang Cheng carefully judged that her tentacles might contain neurotoxins, and if he was injured by her, it might cause inconvenience to his movements.

There were three alien species, one of which was a Teng Snake, and he was unable to fight against it.

The channel in the headset also began to become chaotic. The team leader strictly controlled the panic of the operators and tightened their tactics to fight the enemy. No one asked about Yang Cheng's situation.

Because the command headquarters had already seen the scene in the bar through the helmet.

This was a situation of certain death, and he was abandoned.

There will be no more support from the rear, and Yang Cheng can only rely on himself.

Yang Cheng's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat due to the extreme tension. The oppressive feeling from the high-level alien species was enough to make ordinary people unable to move, and as a member of the same species, he would feel even more.

Yang Cheng was frantically planning an escape route in his mind. If he was trapped here, only death would be waiting for him.

Teng Snake: "Dragonfly, Jellyfish, go out and help."

The girl was a little surprised. She was wearing a mask and spoke in a muffled, childish voice. "Are you alone?"

"Do you think I'm going to die here? Don't be ridiculous."

Tengshe: "I can handle this hybrid, you go out and help, and protect the safety of the members."

Among all the alien species, only Teng Snake does not wear a mask. This is the alien species' way of preventing their identities from being discovered.

Tengshe did this obviously because he was confident.

The girl looked at him again, "Alright, let's go, Dragonfly."

The girl and the thin man left, and in a blink of an eye, they were the only two left in the bar.

"Wouldn't you like to have a drink? Don't worry, it's artificial blood wine in a red wine bottle, made through a special fermentation method. Although it doesn't taste as good as the real thing, it's enough to quench your thirst and serve as a substitute, isn't it?"

Tengshe took out two cups and gestured to him.

Tengshe's invitation was too strange, so Yang Cheng asked cautiously, "What do you want to do? Aren't you going to take action?"

"There are more important things to worry about than fighting, aren't there, little half-blood? You're not drinking, so you want to start a fight right now?"

Tengshe smiled.

It was terrifying. Yang Cheng could feel that Tengshe was definitely not just S-level, his level was definitely higher.

Yang Cheng stood there motionless. Seeing this, Teng She sighed helplessly and stood up. "Well, before drinking, it seems I need to stretch my muscles first."

Yang Cheng's nerves were tense from the moment he saw this man, and he watched his every move intently.

However, he was behind the bar the moment before, and Teng Snake appeared in front of him the next second.

"Bang!"

A heavy punch landed on his stomach. Yang Cheng had no idea of ​​his movements and was knocked to the ground.

“Hmm…”

His stomach was churning, and Yang Cheng forced himself not to vomit.

"I've already said that there are more important things to worry about than taking action."

Tengshe kept smiling, his suit not a bit messy, and he hadn't even changed back to his original shape. He held Yang Cheng's helmet with one hand and smiled at the camera: "Hello, you garbage men from the Special Office."

Then, Tengshe punched the helmet, and the camera shattered into pieces.

At the headquarters command center, everyone looked at the black screen covered with snowflakes, then looked at the chaotic scenes on other screens, and fell into silence.

Yang Cheng, completely cut off contact.

…

Yang Cheng had no idea how many punches he had received.

Tengshe's strength was beyond imagination. After he was knocked down by one blow, he had no power to resist. The whole world was spinning. It was not until Tengshe threw him to the ground that he slowly regained consciousness.

He didn't know when he had automatically revealed his true form. The alien's strong recovery and defense capabilities made it more resistant to beatings than the fragile human body. Yang Cheng thought he would be beaten to death.

After all, the alien species he had seen all treated their prey brutally, but Teng Snake did not do so.

He was panting, and the wounds on his body were slowly healing. Yang Cheng got up from the ground and found that his helmet and earphones were smashed by Tengshe and fell to the ground, revealing his true appearance.

Tengshe returned to the bar, leaned against the counter, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly. He didn't seem to be worried about the situation outside. Instead, he was in a leisurely mood to deal with him.

"You're so weak. The Special Office sends someone like you to carry out the mission. Are they serious?"

His voice was mocking. "It seems that mixed-bloods are mixed-bloods. They are simply products of failure."

"cough……"

Yang Cheng struggled to stand up. This was the most powerful enemy he had ever faced. However, what was even more despairing was that this was not even the strongest alien species.

Yang Cheng: "Humanity will one day become stronger than you, and one day will surpass you. We will not allow you to harm innocent people."

Tengshe said in a strange tone: "Human?"

The next moment, he was in front of Yang Cheng, his hands like iron pliers grabbing his face: "You still think you are human, innocent? The genes of you hybrids are extracted from alien species, don't you know?"

"How many foolish things can humans do to gain power, and yet you still think you're righteous?"

"You are not human."

He declared, "No one would think you were human, a half-blood."

At that time, Yang Cheng didn't understand what he was saying.

"Go away!"

The genes of the fish tail actually limit many things.

He was a strong man in the sea, and the enhancement brought to him by his alien body was very limited in combat on land. Amidst the threat of anger and death, Yang Cheng felt that a miraculous transformation had taken place in himself.

"Um?"

Tengshe looked at the cabinet next to him, "...water vapor?"

Is this the best we can do?

He was a little disappointed.

However, the next moment, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

The sea water that came from nowhere seemed endless and flooded the entire bar. Whether it was tables and chairs or plates and wine glasses, everything was floating in the sea water, including Tengshe and Yang Cheng.

He actually turned the land into his own sea? !

Before Tengshe could react, a huge force hit him the next moment.

In the sea water, the power of the fish tail was unstoppable. In a trance, Tengshe saw Yang Cheng's hair growing rapidly, and he was swimming towards him as fast as a sea monster.

The fish tail hit his abdomen like a steel whip, followed by a violent attack.

Tengshe tried to adjust his center of gravity and counterattack, but was interrupted by the attack.

All the damage Yang Cheng had suffered previously was returned to Tengshe intact.

"Ha ha……"

Tengshe couldn't help laughing. His eyes turned into vertical pupils at some point. His bright and cold snake pupils emitted a faint light, and his lower body turned into a snake tail.

He was actually forced into a different form by Yang Cheng.

Compared to other biological genes, his form can survive in water for a short time.

However, Yang Cheng no longer had any fear at this time. His long hair fluttered behind him with the water, his arms turned into even more ferocious claws, and his eyes were as cold and deep as those of deep-sea creatures.

"Yes, that's right. It's so beautiful. It turns out that you are more adapted to the world of aliens."

Tengshe laughed heartily: "Become stronger, and then become the object of everyone's fear!"

Yang Cheng ignored what he said and roared, trying to tear him to pieces.

A faint trace of blood floated in the sea water. Teng Snake was injured, but it didn't matter anymore.

His goal was achieved.

"Remember, half-blood, you are no longer human," he said.

In response, Yang Cheng roared uncontrollably.

Tengshe gathered his strength to repel Yang Cheng and quickly left the bar.

On the ground, the sea water did not spread here. Tengshe quickly came to the members and saw the jellyfish's distraught look.

"Where's the dragonfly?"

"He...was caught trying to save me."

The girl said softly.

"I see."

Tengshe said nothing and looked around: "We should retreat. Don't worry, Dragonfly will come back."

"Yeah." The girl nodded slightly.

Tengshe: "Sooner or later, we will break into the Special Office's laboratory and destroy everything there."

The girl didn't say anything, and they slowly retreated surrounded by a group of alien species.

On the other side, Yang Cheng struggled to get up in the bar.

After the burst of power, he was completely exhausted and leaned against the wall in a panic. The sea water around him gradually receded. His headset and helmet were damaged, and he had no way to contact anyone else.

The battle above seemed very fierce. Yang Cheng was worried about Jones's safety, so he returned to the ground after a short rest.

"Yang Cheng?! You survived?"

When the team leader saw Tengshe appear on the ground, he thought that Yang Cheng had been killed by him. Now it seems that this is not the case.

Yang Cheng: "Yes, I have made a breakthrough."

The team leader nodded and patted him on the shoulder without saying anything else. Everyone was busy now. "Can we still move?"

"no problem."

"Very good. You will help disperse the ambush. The headset will be configured for you later."

The team leader left in a hurry after saying this. Yang Cheng tactfully did not ask about Jones's situation. The current situation was chaotic, so he could only figure out a solution himself later.

Jones's position is also very dangerous. After losing the striker, the flank team will definitely be attacked. In the chaos, anything can happen.

Soon, the Heavenly Kingdom sect broke through, and Yang Cheng was ordered to disperse and ambush. He never received any news from Jones.

It was only after the fight was over that he finally learned Jones's bottom lane.

...He is dead.

During the time when he lost contact, Jones and several members received orders from the command headquarters to launch an attack on two newly emerged advanced alien species, the dragonfly and the jellyfish.

There were a group of alien species surrounding them at the time, and this was an absolute order to die.

The final result of the operation was the capture of the core member Dragonfly, and Jones and others were completely wiped out.

"So you didn't even recover the body?!"

Yang Cheng rarely lost control and was a little emotionally broken.

"Calm down. This is something none of us want to see, but this is our mission. It's not Jones. Someone else will do it. I know you're sad, but no one is special."

The team leader sighed.

Jones's body was never found, and the people who cleaned up the battlefield only found a medal. It was said that the scene was in such a mess that even the experienced cleanup workers were about to vomit.

"How could it be...why is it such a coincidence."

It just so happened that something happened when he lost contact, and it just so happened that he died in the line of duty. Yang Cheng couldn't blame anyone. If he really had to blame someone, it seemed that he could only put the hatred on the Heavenly Kingdom Sect.

"Is it really a coincidence? The headquarters controls the overall situation, and orders to the front line are basically issued by the team leader. Jones's abilities are not suitable for combat. With so many wing members, why was he chosen?"

Yang Cheng: "I want to know who gave the order. It must have been those guys who clashed with us that day!"

"Yang Cheng!"

The team leader shouted angrily: "Calm down, do you know what you are saying?!"

Yang Cheng shut his mouth.

Team leader: "I know you can't accept this fact. I feel bad too after losing so many members."

"But it's over now. Jones wouldn't want you to impulsively confront the people at headquarters for him. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. When you get back, you should also be mindful of your attitude."

Yang Cheng's expression was difficult to discern.

"...Yes, Team Leader."

*

In Yang Cheng's office, the table opposite was empty. No one would sit in a chair in an unruly manner and call his name lazily.

He carefully wiped the blood off Jones's medal and placed it in a drawer.

Jones was an orphan with no ties. After he died in the line of duty, according to his will, all his property was transferred to Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng looked at the string of numbers and couldn't laugh at all.

They once talked about why they chose to become half-bloods. Jones's reason was simple: he had no money, and the treatment in the Operations Department was very good, so even though the mortality rate was ridiculously high, he still chose to come.

Yang Cheng didn't laugh at him because he was the same.

If anything, Jones approaches his work out of obligation, but he's more interested in finding meaning.

"You always laugh at me for insisting on something unnecessary. Perhaps you are right. You understand this world better than I do. If you were still here, would you agree with my decision?"

Yang Cheng muttered to himself. After a while, he stood up, put on his coat, and walked towards the headquarters.

The headquarters has just completed a large-scale operation. Although there were a large number of casualties, the result was still good. They captured the member "Dragonfly", an alien species that is good at flying but has weaker attack power.

No one stopped Yang Cheng. He had just completed an operation and was covered in blood. People thought he came with a mission.

It was not until he grabbed one of the headquarters members by the neck and pressed him against the alloy wall, causing the metal wall to make a muffled sound, that he finally realized what was happening and screamed in surprise.

"What's going on... someone come quickly!"

A vacuum zone instantly appeared around Yang Cheng.

Everyone knows that it is best not to get close to hybrids during unstable times to avoid being affected.

"Ahem...what do you want to do?"

The man clung to Yang Cheng's hand desperately, trying to get oxygen.

"You gave Jones's order, didn't you?"

Yang Cheng's eyes were deep and he said calmly, "Who gave you the instructions?"

"...I don't understand what you are saying."

"Yeah?"

Yang Cheng grabbed his neck with one hand, lifted him up, and then slammed him against the wall again. The huge force made the wall dent a little.

The man immediately coughed up some blood.

Yang Cheng: "Let me ask again, was that order your idea?"

"I really don't know... I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

The sharp claws on his eyeballs gradually approached, and the man couldn't help but scream, shouting: "It was Deputy Commander Liu. He told me to assign Jones to the suicide squad!"

Deputy Commander Liu, Yang Cheng recalled, was the man who had a head-on conflict with them.

Although he did not directly pick a fight with them, he did hinder their actions and assigned his men to do this. If Yang Cheng did not investigate, Jones's death would have nothing to do with him.

Yang Cheng's men suddenly lost control of their strength, and the man almost rolled his eyes. Until hurried and messy footsteps were heard, and a voice shouted, "Put him down!"

Yang Cheng turned around and found that the people from the headquarters security department had been alarmed and rushed over. The person who spoke was the Deputy Commander Liu mentioned earlier.

"Yang Cheng, what do you want to do? Do you know that this is the headquarters, not the place for you to go crazy?"

He looked at Yang Cheng and said in a deep voice.

"I'm here to ask for an explanation."

Yang Cheng: "The headquarters commander had personal feelings and deliberately arranged for unsuitable members to die. How do you account for this?"

"Nonsense, what evidence do you have?" Deputy Commander Liu shouted.

"The person is already dead, do we still need evidence?"

Yang Cheng sneered, shook off the person in his hand, and took a few steps towards Deputy Commander Liu. The security members behind him raised their weapons and pointed them at Yang Cheng.

"Don't come any closer, stand still, or I'll give the order to shoot!"

He said sharply.

Yang Cheng faced the black muzzle of the gun, his expression unchanged, staring directly at Deputy Commander Liu: "Is this how the Special Office treats meritorious officials?"

"That's enough. Know your place, half-blood!"

"You are not the same as us. If humans are willing to treat you well, you should be grateful, instead of coming here to mourn because a companion has died. We don't have time to deal with your emotions!"

Deputy Commander Liu said angrily, "If you're dead, you're dead. This matter is over. Give up resistance immediately, or we will take action against you!"

Oh, so that’s how it is.

Yang Cheng recalled Jones's ambiguous words and the attitudes of the people around him. Things that he had not noticed before now seemed extremely obvious.

It turns out that someone had been telling him a long time ago that he was not human.

From the moment he became a hybrid, he was excluded from the human camp. He was a sharp blade, a tool, a consumable, and an alien creature that did not deserve sympathy.

How ridiculous it was that he was so foolish as to believe those dogmas and regard the people from the Special Office as his comrades.

He was alone from beginning to end.

"It would be nice if we hadn't expected anything from the start, wouldn't it, Jones?"

He murmured.

Jones hadn't corrected him. Was he worried that he would be saddened by the truth?

Jones was always more lucid.

However, why did he still feel so angry and want to destroy everything around him, so that he could finally make Deputy Commander Liu pay the price he deserved?

Wanting to make him relive the suffering Jones endured before his death.

Yang Cheng's fingers twitched nervously, and his face showed no expression, but the creature's sense of crisis made Deputy Commander Liu's hair stand on end.

There seemed to be some very faint, yet very real murderous intent slowly locking onto the young man.

"Help me, control him!"

He ordered loudly.

Yang Cheng followed his heart and raised his hand.

…

This drama of causing a big disturbance at the headquarters ended with the head of the operations department rushing over and subduing Yang Cheng.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he woke up.

He was lying in the medical room of the Operations Department, and the doctor was a familiar one.

Yang Cheng learned from him that the team leader brought him back and left him here, saying "Don't worry about anything, just let him be alone" and then left.

The doctor prepared some food for him to help him recover his strength quickly. Since becoming a hybrid, Yang Cheng's diet has been the same: synthetic meat and artificial plasma.

He had already gotten used to it, but this time, Yang Cheng stared at the food in front of him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then slowly ate it.

Only by eating more can your body get better faster.

The abnormal recovery ability is very unreasonable. The injuries left by Yang Cheng when he caused a commotion at the headquarters have almost healed at this time. Although there are still some residual injuries from the action that have not healed completely, it does not affect his actions.

After finishing his meal, he left the Special Office.

Before leaving, the doctor asked him where he was going. Yang Cheng said he was going home, but in fact he turned left and right, got rid of the surveillance, and then walked towards Rong Le's house.

Now he just wanted to return to the warmest place and get comfort from the professor.

He did not kill Deputy Commander Liu and was surrounded by people from the Security Department. It was extremely difficult to kill him at the headquarters.

After venting his anger, Yang Cheng calmed down. He knew that his team leader had helped him this time, but there would not be a second chance.

If you want to achieve your goal, you need to find a way yourself.

Yang Cheng held the medal in his pocket and lowered his head to reduce his presence.

When he arrived near Rong Le's house, he suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

In a small alley not far away, three students, two girls and one boy, who had been seen in Rong Le's living room before, gathered together. Yang Cheng's keen intuition made him realize that what they were doing was not ordinary.

He turned around and walked towards them silently.

"...Have you found out the whereabouts of those alien species?"

Wang Qi asked as he pushed Chen Sisi's wheelchair.

Sheng Mao said helplessly: "I can hide my tracks, but I am not invisible. Those aliens have keen perception. If I hadn't been careful enough, I don't know how many times I would have died."

"The waters of the Mother Goddess's family are too deep. I haven't touched upon the core secrets yet."

"If only I could go with you."

Chen Sisi apologized a little: "At least I can give you a warning."

Sheng Mao knew that this girl in the wheelchair looked weak and frail, but in fact she dared to kill even the boss. He laughed dryly and said, "If you really go there, Wang Qi will beat me to death."

Wang Qi clenched his fists: "What do you mean? Who are you looking down on?"

"I dare not."

The conversation between the three people was a bit boring, but Yang Cheng still caught something.

The Mother Goddess’ followers, are they actually investigating alien species?

And they were able to escape unscathed from the pile of alien species. Who are they?

"Speaking of which, when does he plan to end his disguise? Although I trust his judgment, alien species are so dangerous. What if he gets hurt?"

Sheng Mao scratched his head.

Wang Qi: "The professor has his own ideas, which we cannot guess. No matter what the hybrid is used for, we just need to follow his instructions."

"That's true."

Chen Sisi: "Okay, you should also pay attention to safety, we will go back first."

Sheng Mao responded, and the footsteps gradually faded away. At the hidden corner of the alley, Yang Cheng walked out silently.

It turned out that everything was a lie to him.

This is the professor's secret. He approached him only to use him. The warm comfort, reassuring promises, and reliable hugs were all illusions.

...His world is full of lies.
