Chapter 67
Phew!
A black shadow swooped down, caught Jiang Zihan and the Monkey King steadily, and with a flap of its wings, it rose into the air again.
Jiang Zihan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and was immediately stunned by the familiar breath. He tried to turn his posture: "Da Cang?!"
Da Cang tilted his head slightly, his majestic eagle eyes revealing a hint of intimacy, and Jiang Zihan breathed a sigh of relief. She stroked his smooth feathers. Da Cang was a lot bigger than when he left the island, and his breath was stronger. It seemed that he hadn't suffered much.
It took the man and the monkey to a tent, and the person waiting at the door was Liang Luan.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "I was wondering why it suddenly flew away, it turns out it was looking for you."
Jiang Zihan had just landed, and before he could even open his mouth, his forcing spirit gave way, and he immediately fell. When he woke up, a group of war beasts surrounded his bed.
She struggled to get up: "Rebels..."
Lu Chenyuan quickly pushed her down and said, "The building is empty. Not only the floor we're going to, but the other floors are completely empty. But the Monkey King's instructions should be correct. It may not take too long to evacuate."
Liang Luan came in at this time and nodded when he heard the voice: "We received a tip-off that the rebels would have a new move, so we rushed here overnight, but we were still a step too late. They must have smuggled out through another route."
Someone took a video of those people leaving. Jiang Zihan stuck his head out and saw Lin Na, who was supposed to have fainted in the high-rise building.
Lu Chenyuan pondered, "When I went to look for a car, I ran into a group of people. It seemed like they had ambushed me long ago. They should have left in two groups."
Not only were bombs planted in the building ahead of time, but they were also able to deploy troops for an ambush, indicating that the building was deliberately exposed. The rebels knew they could use the war beasts to locate the tall building ahead of time, otherwise all their preparations would be in vain.
The information of the pika was not sent out smoothly. Not long after it left the high-rise building, it was chased by a group of people and its whereabouts have been unknown to date.
Jiang Zihan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "Where are those experimental war beasts?"
Lu Chenyuan's face showed a hint of helplessness. "The rebels originally wanted to attack them, but Da Cang arrived too quickly. Perhaps they were afraid of being caught by the army if they delayed their attack, so they just ran away without paying attention. But they are too timid and are still cowering on that platform."
Jiang Zihan: ...
Okay, she lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but Lu Chenyuan stopped her: "Where are you going?"
"Go pick up the beast." Jiang Zihan said as a matter of course.
"The military doctors have already gone. You saved them, but you still want to keep providing after-sales service? These experimental war beasts have some psychological trauma. If you keep interfering and make them dependent, it won't be conducive to their recovery."
Lu Chenyuan pushed her back and covered her with the quilt: "Wait until they calm down, then go and treat them."
Jiang Zihan nodded and suddenly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Chenyuan was stunned.
Jiang Zihan studied the subtle expression on his face: "He looks a little unhappy."
Lu Chenyuan lowered his head and tucked her quilt, then stood up and sat on the edge of the bed.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Liang Luan brought a message that the rebels may be involved with an organization."
organize?
Lu Chenyuan: "The unit I was in before was the Anbu, mainly responsible for lurking and investigating those underground organizations..."
The Anbu has existed for many years and has always been affiliated with the Legion Headquarters. A few years ago, they suddenly discovered that many groups of beasts had mysteriously disappeared, including many war beasts. After further investigation, they found an organization called "Shadow".
At that time, after they collected clues, they reported the news. Logically, other departments should have taken over, but they didn't expect that the organization would become even stronger.
Jiang Zihan frowned: "The military didn't care?"
Lu Chenyuan shook his head: "I don't know, but soon the other members of the Anbu met with accidents one after another, and the Anbu was disbanded. The remaining members were assigned to different legions."
For Shadow to exist for so long, there must have been a lot of problems in the military back then. Now that the old things are being investigated again, those people will not be able to escape.
"Those modified war beasts must have been manipulated by the Shadow people. I must meet up with other legions and put an end to those bastards." Not only for himself, but also for those innocent comrades who died tragically.
"When do we leave?"
Lu Chenyuan: "Three days later."
"I'll go too." Jiang Zihan sat up immediately. If they set off now, he wouldn't be able to do anything, but in three days, his injuries would probably be healed.
Lu Chenyuan frowned: "Don't make trouble, there is a tough battle to be fought over there, it's very dangerous."
"I'm fine now!" Jiang Zihan immediately removed the bandage. His fingers were still a little sore, but much better now. "Besides, aren't you going to bring your war beasts?"
Lu Chenyuan was startled, then immediately understood what she meant, but he still refused to give in. "The Shadow people have probably already set their sights on you. It's easy to dodge an open attack, but hard to guard against a hidden one. We can't give them a chance."
Jiang Zihan said obediently, "I promise I won't act on my own, and even if I do, I'll report it. Is there anything else I should be aware of?"
Lu Chenyuan glanced at her for a few times, knowing that there was no way to change her mind, so he could only muffle his words and say, "No, even if there was, you wouldn't listen to me."
Jiang Zihan suppressed a smile and couldn't help but raised her hand to touch his head: "Don't worry, I cherish my life very much. You listened to me on the island, then I will listen to you outside, except when I die."
Lu Chenyuan's eyes were wide open from being touched, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Jiang Zihan tilted his head and stared at him with interest.
Lu Chenyuan swallowed hard, his ears burning red, and he stood up suddenly: "Then... I'll go apply."
His head was dizzy and he almost tripped over the threshold when he went out. It was not until the cold wind blew that he sobered up a little and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Why did that action just now look familiar?
He turned back quietly and saw that the war beasts in the room had gathered around the bed again, and Jiang Zihan was touching Shunying's head in the same posture.
Lu Chenyuan: ...
Does she think of herself as a war beast?
After a few seconds, Lu Chenyuan retracted his head and snorted silently. Just wait, one day his status will be higher than that of the war beasts.
He walked towards Liang Luan's tent and found that the veterinarians who had been picking up the experimental war beasts had just returned. A large group of war beasts were huddled together and pulled back, and squatting on the top of the pile of beasts was a pika with a file of information tied to it.
The veterinarians saluted upon seeing Lu Chenyuan. Seeing him staring at the pika, they explained, "When we went to pick up the war beast, we found it emerging from the sewer. It probably saw someone chasing it and had been hiding there. It only came out once it was safe. It's quite clever."
Lu Chenyuan nodded: "Is it not injured?"
"No, I'm fine. I saw us and asked for water to wash ourselves."
Lu Chenyuan: "Then I'll take it away first."
He led Pika to his tent, took down the document, and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he flipped through the documents, took out the page related to Jiang Zihan, and threw it into the stove.
This document contains the original experiments of "Jiang Zihan", but if it is really verified, it may not match the current situation. After repeated consideration, Lu Chenyuan decided to destroy this record. The threat of Shadow is too great, and he will never allow her to get involved in this mess.
…
As the starship entered the atmosphere of another frontier planet, the fierce artillery battle below could be seen from the window. Distortion also erupted on a large scale on several other frontier planets.
Jiang Zihan stared at the rising casualty data on the reporting panel, his heart aching. This is war.
"Area A requests support!"
"War beast in area C is seriously injured, requesting medical assistance!"
As soon as he stepped into the temporary camp, Jiang Zihan heard reports coming from outside, and everyone joined in without saying a word.
During the fierce exchange of fire, Jiang Zihan commanded the bird war beasts to dive down from a distance. Those sharp wings directly cut off the rebel troops and dispersed them. Many people fell into the encirclement of the federal army.
"Be careful!" Lu Chenyuan had just cleared the area on the left side and turned around when he saw a figure flashing behind Jiang Zihan. The Monkey King pounced and kicked the rebel on the mask.
Jiang Zihan quickly pulled off his communicator and handed it to the data operator for decryption, then stepped back to avoid being hurt.
Soon, they successfully captured a team of rebel soldiers. Based on the intelligence they seized, they found a secret base suspected to be a shadow organization on the local map.
Jiang Zihan pondered, "I can use my mental power to try to explore the situation inside, but I can't guarantee that they won't set up any barriers to block mental power. I need to go deeper to see more clearly."
Lu Chenyuan decisively refused: "No, if that is really their base camp, then you will be a sitting duck."
Jiang Zihan said seriously, "Most of the rebels are gathered here. I have a feeling there must be something extraordinary in that stronghold. I will just take a look from a distance and make sure I don't cross the line."
The soldiers secretly infiltrated the base. Jiang Zihan sat in the observation vehicle at the rear, channeling her mental power into the base that looked like a mine. She couldn't help but wonder: Why would the Shadow Organization choose this location? The concentration points on the island seemed to be connected to the mines...
Jiang Zihan shook her head. She didn't know why, but she felt dizzy and her reactions were much slower since she entered here.
The first team that infiltrated quickly sent back a message: "Report to the command center! A strange device has been discovered in the base! We are currently unable to identify its nature, and we urgently need technical support!"
Liang Luan frowned: "Didn't find any members of the Shadow Organization?"
Jiang Zihan was slightly stunned, and quickly directed his mental power towards the instrument. His head suddenly made a buzzing sound, and he almost fell to the ground.
Her brain felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and it took her a while to recover. At the same time, she felt a strong sense of suffocation.
When she opened her eyes, she found Liang Luan covering her nose tightly, her face full of panic: "You have a nosebleed!"
Jiang Zihan's lungs desperately needed air, and she immediately pried his hand away: "I was fine originally, but if you keep covering my hand, I'll be in real trouble."
She pressed her solar plexus firmly. "There's something wrong with that instrument. When I used my mental power to investigate, I felt like I was being manipulated. All users with special abilities, be careful."
Liang Luan's expression changed: "What did you say?!"
Jiang Zihan looked towards the mine: "Did the Shadow create so many distorted creatures just to let them cause destruction? What if... I mean what if, they can control the distorted creatures..."
Everyone present was shocked. If they could control the Deviants, it would be a disaster for the Federation!
