The marching pack of wolves stopped suddenly. The electronics expert supported the earphones, listened patiently for a moment, then looked up and said, "Someone has triggered my trap."
At this time, the team was only 40 kilometers away from the trap of the Falcon headquarters. Laiknar's eyes flashed the sharp gleam of the predation of wolves, he made a decisive decision, and ordered everyone to head towards the Falcon headquarters at the fastest speed, and immediately rushed to the Falcon headquarters with O'Brien and Lucas in the lead.
An hour later, the wolves had already gathered at the Falcon headquarters, and there really were too many surprises here. Biochemical experts were busy collecting the soil stained with William's blood, and used a magnifying glass to search for every possible piece of meat. Surprisingly, the amount of blood and minced meat on the scene is really pitiful, but there are still remnants after all. With the advanced detection methods of the Black Dragonriders, the number of these samples is already sufficient.
"The intruders were found, but they were all dead." The biochemical expert announced.
This news still made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone present understood the terrifying characteristics of the invaders who slaughtered everything. Although they came here for this purpose and they are all quite capable, they still have no way of grasping the infection of the invaders. Channels and means, facing the living body directly is somewhat uneasy.
The biochemical experts simply checked the samples with the portable instruments they carried with them. As expected, the samples were full of dead invaders and the remains of other cells. After preliminary staining, the dead invader cells contained countless broken gene fragments, which could not be recovered at all, and there was no way to know the true face of the invader.
"I need more time to see if I can find any surviving invader samples." The biochemical expert raised his head, his face a little ugly.
Now his only hope is that the intruder's activity is as powerful as its aggressiveness. Only by finding the surviving intruders in the soil or other places, and then completely freezing them with the freezing spray carried, can he obtain complete gene.
However, no one is more aware of the terror of the invaders than this biochemical expert. No matter how dedicated he is, he is absolutely unwilling to deal with such things, not to mention that this is not a laboratory with strict measures, and he only has a portable simple instrument and some simple protective measures. God knows how these invaders are transmitted and what kind of impact they will have on the human body.
Within ten meters of the scene, only the biochemist himself was working nervously, and the others strictly followed the rules and stood ten meters away.
The biochemical experts took the samples one by one, sprayed them with freezing liquid, carefully placed them in isolation bags one by one, and then marked them.
Laikner left two people to assist the biochemical experts, and the rest were led by hunters to search for William's whereabouts. However, as soon as he left the Falcon headquarters, all clues about William were cut off. O'Brien's hunter retinue possessed a number of second to third level abilities in the perception domain, as well as second level agility in the combat domain, as well as nearly twenty years of experience in wilderness survival and tracking and anti-tracking. Only by being careful can it be possible to find a little trace left by William that is almost impossible to detect.
"He is very cunning, and his previous behavior was completely confusing us." The hunter said this more than once with a serious face, and he never forgot to add: "Of course, he was seriously injured."
Judging from the splattered pieces of meat and large traces of blood, everyone knew that William was seriously injured, but this nonsense could still calm everyone's anxiety, especially Laiknar. As long as William can be caught, countless honors, rewards and status will follow after returning. In Laiknar's heart, William is a moving treasure house, not to mention judging from that portrait, even though he has no way of knowing the full appearance of William, he is already a heart-warming man. If it weren't for that chilling intruder, Laiknar would have been more than willing to try William's taste before handing him over.
Although knowing that this treasure is already within reach, it is a huge test of patience for anyone to find it patiently.
Calmness and patience are qualities that every Black Dragonrider must keep in mind repeatedly. Laiknar was naturally irritable, but the strict education he received allowed him to suppress his inner disturbances and not dictate to the hunter. That's O'Brien's subordinate, and it's common sense for all Black Dragonriders to trust professionals.
The team moved very slowly. After a few hours, they circled the Falcon headquarters three times, but only traveled two kilometers away from the center.
William is not far away, this is the conclusion shared by the hunter and O'Brien. In such a short time, and with so many injuries, it was impossible for William to move at high speed without leaving any traces. The traces left by William were scattered around the manor, and it seemed that he had circled around to confuse the pursuers behind him. As for now, in this land scattered with ruins, abandoned villas, broken highways, lonely electric towers, and large clumps of thick twisted bushes, William has enough hiding places. If no trace of him can be traced, even if it is only a square kilometer, a comprehensive search will take a whole day, and that is still under the assumption that the target does not move.
Time passed bit by bit, and the night soon enveloped the land again. Although the people could not move as freely in the dark night as during the day, they still refused to give up because there were third-tier hunters in the team, because William would definitely not be able to run far. For such a cunning prey, of course he couldn't give him a chance to catch his breath.
The hunter turned on a delicate flashlight, but no visible light came out. This is an ultraviolet flashlight, and the hunter's eyes have been specially improved to see ultraviolet light.
While the hunter was carefully examining the traces on the ground, others were scanning the dark night aimlessly. Most people don't know what the hunter can see from the nothingness, but there must be clues, so he will be so cautious.
It is windy at night, and the wind is chaotic, fast and slow.
In the darkness, a fire suddenly flickered in the distance. O'Brien's complexion changed drastically, before he could call out, he stretched out his hand quickly and pressed Laiknar who was a few meters away!
There was a soft bang, and with Laiknar as the center, a strong wind suddenly blew, making O'Brien's gray hair flutter, and the black uniform clinging tightly to his body. Caught off guard by several second-level ability users, they couldn't resist the wind pressure at all, and staggered back. Lucas stood still, but he also felt a shock from the strong wind pressure.
With a soft bang, a ball of fire suddenly lit up one meter in front of Laiknar, a warhead seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and suddenly slowed down, and then the warhead began to undergo a strong deformation. Ordinary bullets might have exploded in front of this barrier in vain, but the momentum of this bullet was huge, far beyond ordinary. Although the bullet became red and shiny under high-speed and strong friction, it almost melted A ball of molten iron finally pounced, pierced through the invisible wall, turned into a fiery jet of metal, and roared toward Laiknar's chest! Although the speed of this metal jet has been greatly reduced compared to before, the momentum and high heat can still easily penetrate the thin steel plate.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
But the bullet was blocked for a moment, and Laiknar had a chance to react. His eyes were bright red, he shouted loudly, and suddenly a fiery storm of flames erupted around him! After the metal jet rushed into the scorching wind, it was immediately rolled, deflected, and blown away by the violent whirlwind. A large piece of metal droplets passed Laiknar and fell on the wilderness. Burn up pieces of green smoke.
After the Foehn spun rapidly for tens of circles, it suddenly spread in all directions, igniting everything that could be ignited within ten meters around Laiknar. There seemed to be an invisible force field around Laiknar's body, isolating Foehn from his body, but suddenly, the range of the force field shrank indefinitely. The uniform of the Black Dragonrider on his body couldn't resist the high temperature, and a large piece of fabric began to explode. combustion.
Until then, the muffled thunderous gunshots came faintly.
Standing in a sea of flames, Laiknar looked at the scorched earth that was still emitting wisps of smoke not far away, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! The trajectory of that bullet aimed at his heart, if O'Brien hadn't noticed it and added a layer of defensive force field to Laiknar in time, then there would be a big hole in Laiknar's chest.
With Laiknar's ability and Black Dragonrider's technology, even if he was shot in the chest by a sniper rifle, as long as his brain was not destroyed, he could still recover his life. But the power of this gun is much greater than that of ordinary sniper rifles, it is comparable to an anti-material gun, if it is directly hit by this gun, most of Laiknar's chest will be blown away, no matter how advanced the Black Dragonriders are at that time Technology can't save him.
One of Laiknar's subordinates immediately found a suitable position, set up a long-range sniper rifle, and searched for William in the compound sight. The rest of the subordinates were in a fighting posture, ready to rush in the direction of the bullet.
"There's no need to go." O'Brien stopped the followers who had just started, and said calmly, "He's already gone far."
Against the backdrop of the firelight, O'Brien's face looked very pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, his usually soft and flying gray hair stuck to his forehead, his gray eyes also lost a lot of their spirit. From the looks of it now, he was just a somewhat slender, pale boy, perhaps changing his attire could turn him into a beautiful girl with somewhat neutral beauty.
However, Lucas was not fooled by O'Brien's slightly weak appearance, and was shocked in his heart by his powerful and mysterious ability. Leaving aside that powerful defensive cover, it was already inconceivable that he could detect the imminent danger and protect Laiknar in such a terrifying attack.
If this shot was aimed at Lucas, he thought he could only die.
The knowledgeable, quiet, modest, and even a little weak young man in front of him is like a bottomless abyss and an endless ocean, the depth of which cannot be measured at all.
Laiknar suddenly let out a roar, and a circle of flames rushed around with him as the center, turning into a sea of flames within ten meters! All the subordinates immediately avoided in all directions, they did not dare to be touched by this seemingly ordinary flame. The flame ignited by this supernatural power has an unusually high temperature, and it only takes ten seconds to completely scorch the human body. Only O'Brien stood in the sea of flames without moving. When the flame reached his side, it automatically separated to the two sides and flowed over.
"He can't run far! I'm going to kill him with my own hands!" Laiknar roared, not only his eyes were red, but even the skin on his face was dark red, the high-temperature flames could not live on his body Zhou Shengcheng seemed to burn everything visible to ashes.
O'Brien held up both hands, stopped Laiknar, and said seriously: "He is much more dangerous than we originally expected! Just the two of us are not enough, please ask the headquarters for reinforcements!"
"Reinforcement?!" Laiknar roared. "Why do we ask the headquarters for reinforcements, why do we let those guys divide our credit? Do you know what kind of promotion we will get after we capture him, and how much ability we will get when we go back!"
Facing the furious Laiknar, O'Brien sighed, and said, "I know all of this. But if we pursue like this, the casualties may be heavy."
After venting, Laiknar's mood calmed down a bit, and the surrounding high-temperature flames no longer formed. He pushed O'Brien away, and replied equally earnestly: "The mission of the subordinate is to serve us, even if it means sacrifice."
"But..." O'Brien wanted to refute, but he didn't say it in the end.
Laiknar pointed to the hunter, and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "You lead the way and find that kid!"
The hunter hesitated a little, but finally responded: "Yes! Sir!" He is O'Brien's subordinate, but also a peripheral member of the Black Dragonriders. As the corporal of the Black Dragonriders, Laiknar was the one with the highest military rank present, he must obey the orders given, unless O'Brien expressly objected.
The shot fired at Laiknar was fired from one kilometer away. William withdrew immediately after firing the shot, and did not organize and hide the firing position, so the hunter and Laiknar quickly found the place.
This is a small pit, just big enough to bury a person. There are only some not dense grass around, which can't play a big hiding role.
The hunter inspected the position and said to Laiknar: "It seems that he buried himself in the soil during the day to escape our tracking. Now, he should have evacuated to the east."
"Chase!" Laiknar gave an order with a gloomy face.
Ten people turned and chased eastward. Laiknar was no longer prepared to take care of the biochemical experts and the two fighters who stayed in the manor, and was only thinking about catching William.
It was the first time he was so close to death.
As soon as the team started to move forward, O'Brien suddenly stopped in his tracks! He stopped so suddenly that a servant behind him almost couldn't stop and bumped into him!
"What's wrong? Did you find him?" Laiknar turned back and asked with concern. He understood O'Brien's ability.
O'Brien's face became even paler, and his hair was wet with sweat again. He forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, let's continue."
Laiknar was a little puzzled, but didn't think much about it. O'Brien has enough ability to protect himself, if even he can't protect himself, then Laiknar can't help much. At this moment, the hunter in front had already found the route William left, and began to speed up the pursuit, and Laiknar hurriedly followed.
O'Brien walked at the end of the team, actually protecting the entire second half of the team. He walked silently, still recalling the moment that just passed in his heart.
Just when the team was about to go after William, O'Brien suddenly felt as if a needle had been pricked between his eyebrows. O'Brien immediately understood that at this moment, he had been targeted! Just when he was about to activate the protective force field, the needle-like feeling quietly disappeared.
O'Brien suddenly understood the message sent by this aim: "Next time, I will kill you first."
In the vast and dark night, O'Brien had no way of sensing William's position, nor could he trace William's whereabouts through the feeling of the moment just now. This shows that William is beyond the limits of his perception. However, with only two such short contact times, William should not be able to deduce O'Brien's sensing distance, so when he shows up next time, he may be locked by O'Brien.
After all, O'Brien's sensing range is 800 meters.
Under the cover of night, William was walking at a speed of about ten kilometers like a nimble black cat. It's not that he can't walk faster, but no matter how fast he is, those barely closed wounds on his body may burst open and drip a few drops of blood. These few drops of blood were enough to attract the wolf-like hunter behind him and expose his own path. But even so, the road ahead is still There would be difficult terrain, or lurking scavengers that William would clean up, dragging his wounds.
Most of the time, William would lie down and lick the blood left on the ground with his tongue. He could no longer hear any sound, and there might be an unbearable stabbing pain in his head all the time, let alone the pain all over his body. William's perception was extremely acute, which meant that he felt twice as much pain as ordinary people. When the pain reaches a certain level, it becomes numb. His senses and perceptions are therefore dulled. It's just that the feeling on the tip of the tongue has not subsided, and all the blood can be absorbed back.
William was determined to save every ounce of energy, and he wanted to drag down all the wolves behind him. As long as he can remember, he has often struggled with life and death. Now William was betting that these wolves, who were obviously accustomed to a superior life, were not as good as he could bear pain, fatigue, hunger, and filth.
On the fourth day, a huge ruined city appeared in front of Laiknar. This city is the place connected to the underground passage of the N11 base.
At this time, he no longer had a calm, elegant and slightly arrogant demeanor, his eyes were sunken, his blond hair was messy, and stuck to his head in clumps. The scorched black and tattered uniform of the Black Dragonriders was even more filthy, completely unable to see its true color and dark gold decorations. This was the case for Laiknar, and the other followers were even more embarrassed. Many times they wondered whether William was injured, otherwise, how could he be able to persist for so long, running almost endlessly? It's just that a few drops of blood, or even a piece of minced meat can be found every few tens of kilometers, which gave them confidence again.
O'Brien was a little better, although his young face was full of tiredness, his eyes were still full of sunshine. No one but himself knows the pressure he has endured along the way.
As for Lucas, he already has a stubbled face and a weather-beaten and decadent style. Now he just has a longer beard and dirtier clothes, which is not much different from before.
Laiknar sneered, and walked towards the city. O'Brien stopped him, frowned and said: "It seems that this is the battlefield he chose, let's call the headquarters for reinforcements. In this kind of big city, snipers will cause a lot of trouble."
"What are you afraid of! Isn't it just right? The mice finally stopped running away." Laiknar's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked particularly ferocious: "We have all been trained in anti-sniping. And a third-level sniper, in the You've only got one shot in front of you, don't you?"
O'Brien's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, but he couldn't hold Laiknar back, so he could only follow him to the city.
For these ten people, the city in front of them was like an extremely huge monster, watching them coldly, waiting for the prey to walk into their mouths by themselves.
