Chapter 43 The Invisible Man
"Damn it!"
Several lighting sticks fell on the ground. The figures in the cave swayed. The roaring monsters rushed out stepping on the water. The blue electric light flashed from time to time across the darkness, piercing the flesh monsters in front, bringing bursts of blood.
Yang Che raised the electromagnetic rifle in his hand and kept aiming and shooting. His brows were furrowed, and there were several companions in the same uniform lying beside him.
"When will the reinforcements arrive!?"
"It will take another hour." In the corner of the cave behind him, Luther stuck his head out from time to time and used the pistol in his hand to supplement the shooting and repel those who slipped through the net.
"This place is too far from the top, and the special police in Arpeggio City are not familiar with the terrain and can't get there quickly."
Luther spoke while panting. When the ammunition in the pistol was used up, he simply threw it aside, and then groped for the heavy machine gun lying on the ground not far away. It was left by Pascal. Now the old man has passed out of coma and shock. The bandage Luther made to stop the bleeding can only keep him alive temporarily.
"It would be great if nothing happened to Old Pa. Who would have thought that the scale of the attack this time would be so large, and it would be a two-sided attack." Luther complained and prayed while adjusting his equipment in a rusty way.
"Is this guy raising an army underground? Hundreds of these monsters have died, and they are still coming."
He set up the heavy firepower machine gun, nervously and carefully adjusted the fuel and energy ratio, checked the operation of more than a dozen knobs with different lights one by one, and finally made up his mind to close it and press the lid.
Lying prone on the ground, he turned the machine gun mount, aimed at the flesh and blood monster attacking from a distance, and pulled the trigger.
Bang -
a slightly crisp sound of ammunition burst out, and then a golden red light suddenly shot out, and then exploded.
The burning fire instantly illuminated the underground cave, and the oncoming heat wave brought people a sense of oppression and suffocation.
"Don't use that! It will suffocate us." The oxygen underground is already low. If a few more rounds are fired, they will all suffocate to death below.
After Yang Che yelled, Luther had to adjust the fuel and energy formula on the machine gun again. Fortunately, there was a burning fire blocking the way, and the scene was a little quieter.
After dragging the seriously injured and unconscious companions to the back one by one, Yang Che collected the remaining usable weapons and began to check and replenish them.
When they chased here, they encountered many mutant and crazy monsters attacking. Fortunately, it didn't take long for seven colleagues from the office to rush to their position and began to organize the defense line, and then advance layer by layer.
Things went smoothly so far. After reporting to the superiors, they continued to search underground until they found some artificial underground facilities not long ago.
Transparent culture chambers were placed horizontally in the simple room, some robots were doing basic maintenance, and surveillance cameras were all around.
As soon as they arrived, they triggered the alarm, and then the culture chambers opened, and some deformed monsters crawled out of them and began to raid their team.
The constant exchange of fire attracted their attention, but they didn't expect another group of guys to suddenly attack from behind, which immediately disrupted the line and caused teammates to start getting injured.
Under the dire situation, Yang Che and others covered their companions and retreated to the dead end of the cave. Without any worries, they began to fight back with the advantage of the terrain.
After the inspection, Yang Che and Luther began to rearrange the defense line, and asked the two who could still move to pick up electromagnetic rifles to support in the rear.
"The situation is not good, boss." Luther said after rearranging the machine gun.
"These monsters are obviously not intelligent, but they will not attack each other when they move, and they even know how to attack from the front and back. There must be someone directing them in the dark."
"The problem is that we didn't find the other party's command method, and we didn't even see the shadow of the person."
"Did you use any stealth method?" Yang Che thought calmly, then walked to a teammate behind him and took out a brand new Bashan Plate from his backpack.
The 'Eight Mountain Seeking Wind Plate' is eight-sided and copper-colored. After opening the shell, there is an extremely complex and delicate structure inside, just like a clock. According to the gold and silver imprints engraved on it, tiny Aigeka particles flow into it, and then are continuously diverted and analyzed, rotating in the precise structure, and finally present a certain result.
This is a special scanning detection instrument made by the 'Shuxiang Workshop'. Although the workmanship is excellent, it is not well-known and only a few professionals use it, so it is rarely targeted and restrained.
After adjusting the parameters of the Eight Mountain Plate, Yang Che pressed into the designated silver liquid column, and then a silver ripple spread in all directions.
The projection on the Eight Mountain Plate began to show the 3D structure around the underground, and there were also floating light spots representing living things.
The light spots near the center are blue light spots representing stability, which are either strong or weak, and there are some red agitated light spots not far away, which represent that the fluctuations of these existences are quite chaotic. Among these red light spots, a dark purple light spot flashed and then disappeared.
"The other party noticed it." Luther looked at the screen and said.
"Yes, this may be a good thing, which can shock the other party."
Yang Che carefully observed the edge of the image, looking for a possible transfer route. Soon after, he saw an area with a different color in the upper corner.
"That's..."
————————
On the other side of the underground, after checking the injuries of several people in the room, Heshia first separated several injured people who were not seriously injured and half awake with a curtain, and then started to work.
Light blue magic light sand floated in the air, and then gathered at Heshia's hand. She closed her eyes and felt it carefully, and then gently stroked it with her palm. In the cut on the belly of the fat man in front of her, the damaged internal organs slowly healed, the blood vessels were reconnected and unblocked, and then some hidden injuries and bleeding holes were slowly combed out.
After finishing this, she repeated the above process and healed the injuries of several other people.
Huh, a little tired.
After finishing, the girl wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her black hair was a little messy, and her head felt a little tired.
Treating others is completely different from treating yourself. She is absolutely familiar with and has a good grasp of her own body. She only needs to consume a little energy to recover, but it is different for others.
After sitting for a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual about the few people and their breathing gradually stabilized, Heshia also stood up from her seat.
Pulling the hood on the back of her coat back on, she was also ready to leave. It was time to go back.
The closed iron door twisted open, but the outside was not as peaceful as when she came in.
A broken fang flew past her eyes, hit the wall, bounced up and fell, and splashed a little blood.
Not far away, a flesh monster like a giant lion pressed on Qiao Long. Its open bloody mouth was full of fangs and sharp teeth. It hissed and growled, spitting out fishy hot air, while Qiao Long held the upper and lower jaws of the monster with both hands and pried them apart so that it could not close.
The two brute guys wrestled with each other, while Jennifer, who had short purple and green hair, held a pistol and kept shooting at the flexible monster that was moving quickly between the ceiling and the wall. This guy was as smart as a monkey, but also extremely ferocious. There was still a lot of flesh and blood on his claws and teeth.
Just as Jennifer was shooting, the ferocious monkey-like monster suddenly attacked and bit Jennifer's wrist holding the gun, with a sound of tiny bones breaking.
"Hiss--" Jennifer's face was distorted, but she also took this opportunity to grab the back of the monster's head with her other hand.
The cold that made the creature stiff spread, and gradually, the monster that bit her wrist stopped moving, and was thrown to the ground by Jennifer, becoming stiff.
Heshia walked over, and at this time, the fight between Qiaolong and the blood lion also changed.
After recovering some physical strength, Qiaolong kicked the blood lion and knocked it to the ground, and then continued to exert force again, the muscles and blood vessels in his arms bulged until the upper and lower jaws of the blood lion were directly torn apart, bringing up hot flesh and pale bones.
Under the severe pain, the blood lion also struggled wildly, and almost knocked Qiaolong over several times. The hook-shaped black claws scraped Qiaolong's back and made it bloody.
Unfortunately, after losing a lot of blood and having no sharp teeth and fangs, the monster was doomed to die.
Qiao Long thrust a claw into the blood lion's throat, tearing and destroying its lungs and internal organs until the guy gradually lost resistance and slowly fell silent.
"Is this another attack?"
Heshia came to the two of them and looked around. Many of the gang members who had been guarding outside were dead or injured, and only a few were still able to move.
"I can't treat so many people." She shook her head.
"It's okay, there's no need to trouble you here, Miss." Qiao Long stood up, shook the blood off his hands, and then found something to wipe it off.
As a superhuman of the Dragon Sequence, he was physically strong and had a strong recovery ability. These injuries would heal naturally in a few days.
Heshia did not respond, but put her hands in her coat pockets and walked out of the stronghold slowly. She felt something strange outside.
It was still a dark cave, with a few broken lights illuminating the surroundings. There were various craters, corpses, and bloodstains on the ground. Although the masks were used to isolate them, the smell in the air was still not good.
The air was very quiet, as if there were no living things around.
However, Heshia looked at a corner in the darkness. It seemed empty, but in her mind, there was clearly a person standing there, motionless like a ghost.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and just as Heshia was about to pull out her gun to warn, the figure suddenly ran away.
Is this guy the culprit who caused the chaos, the girl thought.
I really don't want to chase in this underground. She is only 16 years old now, not even a high school student, and she doesn't have the ambition to become a savior hero.
"Did you find anything?"
At this time, Qiao Long helped Jennifer out. At this time, the wound on Jennifer's wrist had been simply cleaned and treated, and bandaged.
"Yes, a guy who can turn invisible." Heshia's voice was very gentle, and she felt out of place in this underground world.
Hearing this voice, Jennifer rolled her eyes at Joron. She didn't expect that this man would actually find a student girl. Before, she just thought that this doctor was a little eccentric or small in size.
"Is there any way I can see through his invisibility?" Joron put Jennifer on a chair beside him, and then came to Heshia.
"I guess it's difficult for you."
The girl shook her head. Although there are secret techniques such as seeing through invisibility in the Dragon Sequence, it takes a lot of knowledge to learn such things. It is estimated that they will only be exposed to college. Joron is a dropout, so there is no need to expect him to learn it in a short time.
"I can see through his invisibility, but I don't want to get involved anymore." Heshia shook her head and explained. This chaos has attracted the attention of the federal government. Maybe the higher-ups have sent troops to start the crusade and clean up. If she rashly gets involved and is found underground, many things will be difficult to explain and will cause a lot of trouble.
She just wanted to take the school re-examination in a few days, go to school, and continue to follow the normal life trajectory. This time she came to the underground to save people, she was soft-hearted once, and she would not continue to be soft-hearted.
In today's era, information is too developed. Even if Heshia Tilan knew that she had a special talent, she dared not expose it casually. This might bring good things, but it might also cause all kinds of troubles.
She was a person who was very afraid of trouble. She preferred to stay alone in a quiet corner, watching this prosperous and beautiful world, and living a simple and undisturbed life.
"But..."
Although Heshia didn't want to get involved, she didn't say that she would stand idly by.
She pressed her hand lightly on her brow, and dots of blue light sand continued to gather, and finally a palm-sized azure crystal gathered in the palm of her hand.
This crystal condensed by the magic of the withering sequence has been engraved and transformed. If it is crushed and scattered, it can form a visible crystal mist, allowing Qiao Long to see the other party's figure for the time being.
"This is for you." Heshia threw the crystal stone to Qiao Long on the side and briefly explained how to use it.
"You only have one chance. Whether you can seize it or not depends on yourself."
Then she jumped down from the stone she was standing on. Now she was going back.
"Don't forget what you promised me. You have to help me find someone later."
