Chapter 69
"Lower your head!"
Yan Hong stepped on a person's head and jumped above Shao Xingyang. At this time, Shao Xingyang was using two swords to resist the enemies attacking from both sides at the same time. He had no time to worry about being targeted by someone behind him.
Just as the man was about to dodge, Yan Hong had already fallen from above and cut his neck into pieces smoothly like cutting tofu. Blood gushed out, and his eyes were still wide open when his head rolled to the ground, and he died with his eyes open.
Without any pause, Yan Hong once again faced the enemy who was attacking with a knife, and Shao Xingyang also took the opportunity to kill one of them.
The two men fought almost to the death. Standing opposite them were the other exploration teams from the base. Even though their individual combat capabilities were far inferior to theirs, their numbers were large, so the two men did not dare to take them lightly.
Yan Hong casually wiped the blood splattered on her face with the back of her hand, pulled the long knife out of the corpse, and swept a very intimidating look at the enemy who was still approaching.
After separating from Chen Yunliang, she ran all the way towards Tang Zeyu, hoping to pass on the message as soon as possible.
But strangely, when she arrived, there was no trace of Tang Zeyu and the captain of the mercenary team. The only traces left were the battle between the two men, and the ground was covered with chopped trees and scorch marks from fire.
Strange, where are the people?
Yan Hong searched privately but to no avail. Feeling strange, she suddenly saw two black shadows moving constantly on the ground. Yan Hong had a bad feeling in her heart. She looked up and saw two lights and shadows fighting in the sky.
Behind Tang Zeyu was a pair of blazing wings, which carried Tang Zeyu high into the sky like real bird wings. In his hand, Tang Zeyu held a blazing flame spear that was also made of flames. His original weapon, the long sword, had disappeared.
The captain chose a completely different way of using his supernatural powers from Tang Zeyu. He drove the golden wind to lift himself up, standing above the sharp and dangerous golden wind and at the same height as Tang Zeyu. He wore a set of exquisite and sturdy silver armor, and the weapon in his hand was still the long sword.
But if you look closely, you will find that the long sword is not held in the captain's hand, but is completely integrated with the captain's hand!
As the captain raised his hand, the long sword began to flow like a heated candle, but soon it seemed to have its own consciousness and reconstructed itself into the captain's hand.
"I didn't expect that even though I tried so hard to surpass you, I could only tie with you."
Tang Zeyu was so irritated that the flames on his body jumped up a few times.
"I've told you so many times, I don't know you, you got the wrong person."
But the captain didn't think so. He smiled, took out a handful of bullets from his pocket and threw them casually. The bullets did not fall under the influence of gravity, but floated beside the captain as if in space.
"There's no need to quibble. Even if you deny it, I know it's you I'm looking for."
The bullets floating beside the captain seemed to have consciousness and slowly changed direction, with the tips of all the bullets pointing towards Tang Zeyu.
With the captain's movement, the bullets flew towards Tang Zeyu like arrows, and their speed was no less than that of those fired from guns.
Tang Zeyu simply folded his flaming wings and then spread them out, and the heat waves he created acted like a barrier, blocking all the bullets.
As easy as blowing away a dandelion.
However, the captain didn't expect such a small number of bullets to be of any use. His entire arm began to deform, and the liquid metal flowed in the air, and finally solidified into a giant axe, chopping towards Tang Zeyu.
Tang Zeyu was not going to hold back either. The flames on his body suddenly surged, and the flames wrapped around the flame spear gradually turned into a snake shape, spitting out its tongue. He did not dodge or evade, and confronted the captain head-on.
The two fought back and forth in the sky, and Yan Hong below felt powerless.
This is how she informed her captain! By shouting?!
Before she could figure out what to do next, the helicopters from the base were already approaching. One helicopter after another stopped in the open space and lowered ropes so that the people inside could slide down directly. This way, there was no need to stop the helicopters and let people down, saving a lot of time.
Seeing that some people had started to get off the helicopter, Yan Hong had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry it on her own. Shao Xingyang couldn't get here for a while, and Tang Zeyu's battle with the captain was not over yet. Yan Hong was a little uncomfortable with suddenly having to fight alone.
Yan Hong clenched the long knife in her hand. She couldn't make a move now. Although the enemy was coming with great momentum and it didn't look like they were going to take them back according to normal procedures, she had no evidence to prove that they really had bad intentions. If she made the first move, then their entire team would be in the wrong. After they returned, as long as the enemy insisted that she was the first to make the move and she only attacked in self-defense, she would have no way to defend herself.
I can only suppress my hostility for the time being and see how the situation develops.
The first group of people got off the helicopter, led by a middle-aged man.
He was wearing a well-tailored uniform and had a long sword issued to the exploration team on his waist. But if you looked closely, you could see that the handle of the sword had been specially treated. The leather strips were tightly wrapped around the handle, and the paint surface of the entire scabbard was reflective, which showed that it had been carefully maintained.
This directly led to Yan Hong having a very bad first impression of him. At first glance, he was a person who did not work and only commanded his subordinates to do things.
"Hello, I'm in charge of the exploration team department at the base. You are Yan Hong from the Flying Eagle Team, right?"
Yan Hong then took a look at the face of the man in front of her. Well, she had never seen him before. Either he was a big shot she couldn't meet, or he was not an important role.
"Yes, I am. What's wrong?"
The man put his hand into his coat. Yan Hong instantly became alert and was ready to draw her knife at any time. If the other party pulled out a gun now, she could cut his head off before he could shoot.
Unfortunately, what the man took out was not a gun, but his ID.
The man held up the ID card with his ID photo and identity information in one hand and showed it to Yan Hong to prove the authenticity of his identity.
"My name is Guan Wei, and my mission is to take you back."
Yan Hong kicked the stone at her feet pretending to be indifferent, and glanced at the people who were still moving behind the guards. None of them were researchers.
"What about those people in the laboratory? Aren't they anxious to get the things here?"
Guan Wei: "They will set off after we return."
Yan Hong raised an eyebrow and said, "When did the base become so generous? They specially sent so many helicopters and people to welcome us back, and even asked the people in the laboratory to avoid us. How did I only just realize that our team had such a big show?"
Guan Wei knew he couldn't hide it, so he just confessed.
"The base suspects your team may be involved in multiple crimes including murder, arson, theft, and espionage. We need to take you back for investigation."
"ha?!!"
Yan Hong looked as if she had heard some outrageous gossip. She scratched her ears and asked, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
Guan Wei wasn't annoyed by Yan Hong's words. He just calmly put away his ID and said calmly, "I'm just accepting the mission assigned by the base. Don't make it too difficult for me."
Yan Hong bared her teeth: "You don't really think that a front-line team like ours would do such a thing?"
"So your case is still under discussion, and there are still people in the base who hold different opinions," Guan Wei said, straightening his clothes. "That's why I was ordered to take you back."
"Besides, if your guilt is already established, why would I have to talk to you now?"
Although Guan Wei had a professional smile on his face, there was no trace of laughter in his eyes: "I could have killed you right there and then."
Yan Hong was completely furious.
"What a big tone!"
Yan Hong took a step forward suddenly, and his body drove his arms to swing out like a whirlwind. The long sword drew an arc and split the air with a whistling sound.
Just as the sharp cold light was about to chop off Guan Wei's neck, Yan Hong was instantly bounced away.
Yan Hong quickly adjusted her body in mid-air, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of falling to the ground and rolling around covered in dirt.
The thick-soled shoes rubbed violently on the ground and slid a long distance before stopping.
"what the hell……"
Yan Hong looked up and saw a tall man standing next to Guan Wei. It was he who made her fly out just now.
The tall man retracted his arm, and the barrier constructed by supernatural power was removed. Guan Wei looked at Yan Hong, who was barely standing, with a look of contempt.
"I told you, I'm fully capable of killing you right now."
All the people on the helicopters have gotten off. After putting them down, the helicopters drove away, probably to find a place to park the helicopters.
Yan Hong roughly estimated that there were nearly a hundred people coming this time.
It seems that the base is more generous than she imagined. It would be great if they could be as generous when applying for funding.
Behind Guan Wei was a huge crowd of people, while Yan Hong was alone on her side, so she could tell the outcome without even fighting.
But Guan Wei did not let others get close, but asked them to stop at a distance and wait for orders. I don't know whether it was out of the moral principle of not bullying the weak with the majority, or because he was afraid that there would be accidents if there were too many people, but Guan Wei did not intend to let them take action. There was no need to do so since there was only Yan Hong.
"If you tell me where the others are hiding now, I can consider seeking leniency for you when I return."
Hearing that the other party was still insisting on that hypocritical rhetoric, Yan Hong laughed, with undisguised sarcasm in her laughter. Then she spat at Guan Wei and made an international friendly gesture.
"F***, you coward."
Guan Wei frowned slightly and raised a finger. Thick tree roots instantly rose from the surrounding land, like an iron fence, trying to lock Yan Hong inside.
"Since you are unwilling to turn from darkness to light, then just be a hostage."
Yan Hong rolled her eyes in disdain: "Do you think these things can trap me? I think you underestimate me..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Hong appeared in front of Guan Wei in a few flashes. The tall man used his special power again, just like before, and the barrier protected Guan Wei and the tall man inside.
Yan Hong flew up again. After trying, Yan Hong confirmed that this barrier could not only resist attacks, but could even absorb and bounce them back.
Bastard, this is totally a way to restrain her and play dirty!
Suddenly, she heard the sound of something moving quickly. Yan Hong felt something was wrong. She looked behind her and saw a thick tree root approaching the place where she was about to fall. At this time, she was still falling in mid-air and had no way to avoid it.
Yan Hong was about to jump farther by stepping on the tree roots, but just when her feet touched the roots, the roots, which had been moving clumsily and slowly, suddenly became as flexible as tentacles. In the blink of an eye, they wrapped around Yan Hong's ankles and hung her up.
