Chapter 105 Siren
The rest of the scenes were pretty much as Rong Le had expected.
The top brass of the Special Office appeared on the screen of the Mother Goddess's Clan Laboratory and ordered Yang Cheng to stop resisting. As a reward, they would promote him to a level that ordinary hybrids could not reach.
He can escape the fate of being exploited, and even have the power to control the life and death of others, becoming the same as the upper echelons.
On the contrary, if Yang Cheng refused his recruitment, he would be regarded as an enemy by the Special Office.
After listening to this, Yang Cheng was silent for a long time, then asked, "So, the sacrifices of Jones and others were all meaningless?"
They tried their best to fight against the alien species, but the top leaders were secretly colluding with the alien species. Their sacrifice was so ridiculous.
He didn't want to look at the sanctimonious face on the screen anymore. His emotions suddenly erupted, and before smashing the screen, he threatened in a hoarse voice: "One day, I will tear you all to pieces!"
The big screen was smashed into pieces, and Yang Cheng did not stop and began to flee the laboratory.
Since the cooperation was not agreed upon, the top leaders would certainly order his ambush and killing. As expected, most of the combat members have already gathered outside, just waiting for him to show up.
He needs to break out as soon as possible, otherwise he will be exhausted to death here.
Outside the laboratory is an undeveloped abandoned land.
At night, visibility here is not high, with only sporadic street lights providing some light. The Special Office lurks around, waiting for the target to appear.
No one would have thought that such a large laboratory was hidden underground. The Special Office's operations department received a sudden order from their superiors to rush to the area immediately and encircle and eliminate a high-level alien species.
It is said that this alien species is on the verge of mental breakdown and has a brutal temperament. It has killed many humans and its own kind. Therefore, capturing it does not have to be the first priority. It can be killed immediately after being discovered.
So they lay in ambush here quietly, waiting for this alien to show up.
"This is the first time I've encountered such an unclear mission. We don't have any intelligence, so we're just waiting here. Where could this alien species appear from?"
In the rear, complaints from team members could be heard through the team leader's headset.
Another calm voice said, "Stop complaining. Be careful or you'll run into that alien creature and see if you panic."
"Damn, how could I be so unlucky?"
The member cried out in surprise, but said nothing more.
Basically, everyone was called out in the middle of the night, so it was normal for them to feel some resentment. The team leader pinched his eyebrows and tried to cheer himself up.
But as time goes by, my thoughts drift to other places.
Ever since Yang Cheng hadn't returned from the last mission, his heart had been pounding. He always felt that his intuition was warning him about something, but no matter how hard he tried, he could find nothing.
But he still found it difficult to let go of the fact that Yang Cheng was missing.
He has seen the changes in Yang Cheng during this period, but he can only rely on himself to get over this matter. Life and death are common occurrences in the operations department, and he has no choice but to be more tolerant of Yang Cheng.
But this child's situation is so similar to Xu Yuan's back then.
Both disappeared during the mission, both were promising young talents, but both disappeared. Could it be that they had agreed to leave without saying goodbye?
But when the team leader was asked to think of other possibilities, he couldn't think of any.
Where could this child go?
The team leader didn't think for long before a voice came over the headset: "Suspected target detected, coordinates 23, 45, all units, attention."
The team leader also captured the target's figure through the helmet cameras of other members.
In the dim night, the figure was blurry. Compared with the out-of-control described in the intelligence, this alien still maintained its human form. It appeared from nowhere and walked out step by step.
Judging from the direction, it seems to want to go to the city.
The team leader ordered coldly, "Team Three, prepare for battle. He wants to go to the city center. We must not let him escape into the city."
Once they enter the urban area with complex terrain and dense crowds, it will be difficult for them to track the alien species, and it will be difficult to catch it.
However, the alien in front of them, either out of good luck or very familiar with the Special Office's combat tactics, dodged several makeshift traps in succession and walked straight towards them.
Have you been discovered?
If they showed up at this position, they would probably alert the enemy, but no one knew whether the alien was pretending not to notice them. A momentary misjudgment might lead to missing the best opportunity to act.
The team leader only thought for a moment and immediately made a decision, "All members, attack immediately!"
In an instant, countless hidden members moved, pulled the trigger, and shot at the target. The hybrids also changed into their original form and attacked the target.
The alien moved, dodging the first batch of bullets at a very fast speed, and also transformed into its original form at the fastest speed. Its pitch-black tentacles that covered the sky and the sun suddenly opened and flew wildly behind it.
A tentacle wrapped around a hybrid with bird genes who was the first to fly in front of the alien. The huge force made it almost impossible for him to break free. Amidst screams, the tentacle was thrown far away with a light flick.
It was as if they were already accustomed to the human wave tactics, and they were at ease even when attacked from all sides. They could not hurt them at all. They were all veterans of the battlefield, and they could judge the strength of the opponent just by a single encounter.
Everyone present couldn't help but frown, so strong.
The terrifying feeling of oppression is very rare even among high-level alien species. The strength of the alien species is mostly reflected in its original form. Those tentacles are so hideous and terrifying, showing the alien species' powerful strength. They can hardly fight against it.
The tentacle-shaped alien was almost a symbol of the Mother Goddess's followers. The team leader recognized it immediately and frowned, "When did they develop such a powerful alien?"
Logically speaking, they would know about such a powerful alien species, but the team leader couldn't match this alien species with any of the ones in the file.
It was as if it was an alien species that had been locked up and had just escaped. Considering the emotional instability mentioned in the intelligence, this was a possibility.
This alien was none other than Yang Cheng. He had guessed that those lying in ambush outside were probably familiar people, but he had not expected that after standing on the opposing side, the team leader's decisiveness, which was originally reliable, would turn into a pressure, leaving him no chance to get away with it.
He didn't want to hurt his former colleagues, he just wanted to break out of the encirclement as quickly as possible.
Since it is a battle, it is inevitable that the attack will be a bit rough, but as more and more people come, it is too difficult to break out without hurting them.
Yang Cheng sighed, retracted his tentacles, and turned into a human form. Before they could react, the next moment, he transformed again into a mermaid form that was more convenient for fighting.
At that moment, countless people's blood froze.
The scene before them was beyond their common sense, and many people who witnessed it could hardly think smoothly.
Can aliens... have two forms at the same time?
The spotlight from a distance shone over, illuminating Yang Cheng's figure clearly.
With white hair, fishtail, and honey-colored skin, almost everyone who has seen Yang Cheng recognizes him.
The team leader also saw the true face of this alien, and suddenly a huge sense of absurdity attacked his whole body, and his face was full of disbelief.
Why was the target of their encirclement and suppression mission Yang Cheng, who had been missing for many days?
What happened during the time he disappeared? Why did they receive the order to kill Yang Cheng?!
Countless question marks filled the people present, but Yang Cheng did not stop.
After frequently switching forms and fighting with countless alien species tonight, he no longer has any spare energy to mobilize.
He used up his last bit of strength to release the domain once again, as if endless sea water suddenly rushed back, flooding the surroundings, and the members of the action team were scattered by the water.
Although his strength was insufficient, it was enough for him to move freely. Yang Cheng swam close to a teammate.
"Monster..."
The teammates couldn't help but take a step back.
“…”
It turned out that in their eyes, he had become a monster.
Yang Cheng laughed at himself.
He passed them, swam his tail vigorously, and in an instant he was far away, disappearing from their sight.
This operation ended in such a whimper, and no one in the Special Office even died. The team leader looked at the direction where Yang Cheng disappeared and almost foresaw the workload that would be caused by the explosion.
It was time for him to get back to writing that damn report.
The team leader skillfully ordered everyone to return to the team, arranged the follow-up practical work, briefly reported to his superiors on tonight's actions, and then went back to write a more detailed task report.
Before leaving, the team leader looked back in the direction where Yang Cheng disappeared. His eyes seemed to penetrate time, looking at the meaningless things that he had stubbornly adhered to over the years.
It turns out that they did not have a happier life after their disappearance.
He had no more reason to deceive himself.
…
Yang Cheng's file was quickly and covertly destroyed from the Special Office, and replaced by a new file established with an alien identity.
Class A fugitive, "Siren".
The news channel on the residents' TVs quickly inserted this new news, and the entire region was notified to hunt for high-risk alien species. Yang Cheng's face was all over every screen, big and small, in the city, attracting the attention of passers-by and stopping to watch.
At night, on the quiet streets, heavy and continuous rain fell from the sky. Pedestrians without umbrellas rushed home, and only a few pedestrians with umbrellas were left walking on the streets.
At this time, Yang Cheng was hiding in an underground pipe in a panic to avoid the rain. He was exhausted, the wounds on his body began to become inflamed, and his body had a high fever. The abuse he had done before to squeeze his potential now came back to him.
No place outside is safe now. The Special Office will definitely send out personnel to search for his whereabouts while he is in a bad condition. The forces of the Mother Goddess's family may not let him go either.
The whole world is hunting him down, trying to find his whereabouts.
Fortunately, the rain washed away most of the traces, and he hid in the underground pipe, which was safe at least for the time being.
Yang Cheng leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. There was no medical treatment or energy recovery supplies at the moment, so he could only rely on his own self-healing ability to hold on. After he regained some mobility, he would look for a place with better conditions.
He stayed there for a while, and suddenly heard a noise coming from the corner of the pipe not far away. Immediately, his muscles tensed up, and a dark tentacle stretched out, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
A thin figure stumbled away, and only his back could be seen.
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then relaxed again.
It is a weak alien species living in the underground pipes. He should have occupied his territory. The weak alien species has no survival ability and can only survive in the complex underground pipes.
When seeing a dangerous alien like him, the first reaction is to run, for fear of being caught and eaten and turned into nutrients for the alien to recover from injuries.
It is always difficult for the weak to survive.
Yang Cheng sighed softly, and when he realized that the alien was still lingering nearby, he stood up and slowly left.
He didn't know where to go. It seemed as if there was no place for him in the world. The house originally under his name would definitely be watched, and they would sooner or later search the underground pipes.
Without an identity or money, he was in such a miserable state that he had to hide in an underground pipe like a homeless person.
Everything is completely different from the once glamorous identity.
"This place will always belong to you."
Rong Le's words suddenly rang in his mind.
Yes, if there was a place he could go, it would be Rong Le's home.
But he looks so bad and dirty now that anyone would look away in disgust. How could anyone take him home?
However, whenever he thought of Rong Le, the long-lost desire that had been ignored was awakened, and every cell in his body was shouting: Go see him! Go see him!
Even if he could just see him once, he was about to be overwhelmed by this belated longing. If he couldn't see Rong Le again, he would die.
Just take a look, just take a look.
Yang Cheng said to himself silently.
As long as he hid well enough, Rong Le wouldn't see him in such a miserable state, and he would naturally be able to maintain his most perfect image.
At this time, Yang Cheng was completely unaware that he had lost control of his condition. When the alien was out of control, his mind was filled with the most persistent things.
The more they fail to achieve this persistence, the crazier the aliens will become.
Yang Cheng's black eyes glowed slightly with scarlet light. After convincing himself, he ignored his exhausted body and stumbled towards the safe place in his memory.
…
When he opened his eyes again, all the wounds on his body had been treated. Someone helped him wipe his body while he was unconscious, and his clothes were dried. They were dry and warm, dispelling the cold temperature of the rain.
Yang Cheng's consciousness gradually returned to his body. He looked at the ceiling that appeared in his field of vision, then observed the snow-white bandages wrapped around his body, and then he noticed that there was another person in the room.
Rong Le sat at the table by the window, chin propped up, quietly flipping through a book. When she heard him wake up, she looked over: "Awake?"
Yang Cheng carefully observed Rong Le's expression and found that he treated him the same way as usual.
Could it be that Rong Le still doesn’t know that he is wanted?
But the sound of the TV in the living room soon dispelled his idea.
Even though Rong Le doesn't watch TV often, she has the habit of watching news channels so that she won't miss the information she needs.
"Last night, the Special Office's Operations Division engaged in their first encounter with a mysterious new species. They escaped severely injured. This species has a fishtail, dark white skin, black pupils, and appears to be an adult male."
"This alien species is tentatively classified as a Class A alien species, codenamed 'Siren'. Citizens, please exercise caution when going out. If you discover any information, please call the Special Office hotline..."
The hostess's clear voice echoed in the living room, and the air was silent.
"I..." He tried to say something uneasily.
"It's over, Yang Cheng. You've suffered a lot."
Rong Le walked to the bedside and gently touched Yang Cheng's hair. In the familiar and delicate touch, he realized that his previous state was definitely not normal.
However, he completely forgot how he appeared in front of Rong Le.
Rong Le seemed to know what he was thinking: "You broke the door lock, and you lay on the glass door of my room, staring at me, your whole body soaking wet. I dragged you to take a shower, and you fell asleep in the bathtub."
Yang Cheng showed an expression of shock and shame.
He looked like he wanted to suffocate himself by burying himself in the quilt, and it would be best if Rong Le never saw him.
He chuckled twice and said, "It's not your first time, why are you still so shy?"
Rong Le stopped teasing him and seeing that he refused to come out of the quilt, she went to the kitchen to get him the synthetic meat that had been prepared long ago.
Although synthetic meat doesn't taste very good as food, it can indeed quickly replenish the nutrients needed by the alien body.
Yang Cheng also knew that he should eat, but after taking the first bite, a thought inevitably popped into his mind:
No alien meat tastes as good... although the sweetest meat he has ever smelled is the doctor's body.
Yang Cheng realized what he was thinking and suddenly opened his eyes wide. His body trembled slightly, as if he had discovered something horrible. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and began to retch. The synthetic meat in front of him seemed to be the doctor's last pile of minced meat.
...The slight regret that arose in his heart just now was that he did not eat the meat!
He collapsed and took a few steps back, his movements so violent that he almost knocked over the table. Rong Le, who heard the noise, rushed over: "What's wrong, Yang Cheng?"
After noticing that Yang Cheng was showing signs of losing control again in a short period of time, Rong Le immediately and forcefully pressed his shoulders, asking him to stop and slowly comforting him.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all over. No matter what happened, it's not your fault."
He vaguely knew why Yang Cheng lost control. He secretly glanced at the synthetic meat on the table and decided to accompany him to eat for the time being.
With Rong Le's comfort, Yang Cheng gradually calmed down. His emotions were a little silent, but he was indeed much more stable.
Yang Cheng rejected Rong Le's intention to feed him and said calmly, "Don't worry, I can do it myself. I'm fine now."
After confirming that he had indeed swallowed the food mouthful by mouthful, Rong Le felt relieved for the time being.
If Yang Cheng hadn't been there, he would almost want to sigh and call him a poor thing.
It was so pitiful that he couldn't bear to hide it from him.
But now is not the time.
Rong Le's new mission happened to be somewhat related to Yang Cheng.
[Role Mission: 3, rescue an innocent half-blood and help him achieve his goal.]
He has actually completed the first half of this task. Role tasks tend to be released in accordance with the rules of character playing. Simply put, role tasks are to "do what the role should do." Rong Le has done a good job in this regard.
However, the half-breed he saved was Jones.
When Jones was rescued from the battlefield by Rong Le's men, he realized that in addition to the alien cult and the special office, a new turning point had emerged.
When he learned that the young man in front of him was the gentle and amiable professor Yang Cheng had mentioned, his eyes changed instantly.
His eyes revealed three parts of sadness, three parts of surprise, and the rest was all happiness.
"I didn't expect that the person Yang Cheng mentioned would actually be... Anyway, thank you very much for your help. If you need me, I will definitely not refuse!"
Rong Le did not miss the hint of hidden vigilance. He smiled and did not care:
"I saved you partly because of Yang Cheng, but you really shouldn't have died. One more of you among those corpses doesn't make much, and one less of you doesn't make much either. I won't care what you want to do next."
"Huh?" Jones was really surprised this time.
"It's really hard to accept, right? This area is a rotten mess. No matter what you choose, life is hopeless. Dying in a corner where no one knows about it is normal. Even if someone remembers you when you die, you're lucky enough."
Rong Le said this with a smile, and Jones's expression changed.
"I'm not saying this to do anything, but to give you the right to decide your own life. You can choose to live the rest of your life in anonymity, or do anything very risky and stupid."
The black-haired, green-eyed professor smiled kindly. He was so gentle from head to toe, yet he was as deep and terrifying as a black hole.
Jones believed what he said was true, and the conditions were completely favorable to him, even too good.
Going through all that trouble to get him out, only to tell him he can do whatever he wants?
He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Although I do have many ideas, I am not capable of accomplishing this on my own."
"I'm sorry, Professor, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you."
Rong Le wasn't surprised by his reaction and maintained a proper smile. "I don't have any expectations of you. Saving you should be enough for me to claim credit from Yang Cheng."
"If there's nothing you want to do, then we can just call it quits."
"etc!"
Jones suddenly called out to him.
Rong Le looked at him, and Jones's expression was a little hesitant: "If I say there is something I want to do, but I need help...will you help me?"
Rong Le smiled: "Of course."
So now Jones is seriously causing trouble in places his friends could never imagine.
Rong Le thought without any guilt that she was doing this for Yang Cheng's own good.
Jones cannot tell Yang Cheng what he is doing now. When the time is right, they will meet again.
When Yang Cheng sees his friend who has come back from the dead, he will definitely cry with joy.
After receiving Rong Le's support, Jones left gracefully, saying before leaving, "Don't tell Yang Cheng where I am, or he will definitely rush over to find me."
"He should do his own thing now. Thank you for your help. I won't let you down."
He said with full energy: "As for that idiot, I'll leave it to you!"
Rong Le thought about it, touched Yang Cheng's white hair, and walked out of the room to do other things.
Behind him, Yang Cheng raised his head slightly, revealing a heavy and gloomy expression.
He knew that he couldn't stay here forever, otherwise he would probably cause trouble for Rong Le.
He will do more things in the future, and the danger will definitely not be lower than it is now.
As Yang Cheng thought this, he was already planning how to leave quietly.
The doorbell rang at this moment.
