The four-eyed man didn't close his eyes even before he died. His eyes were filled with astonishment and resentment because he didn't think that the person who mercilessly stabbed him in the back was his accomplice. Even though he had wanted to kill his accomplice since a long time ago, he didn't think that his accomplice would harbor the same intentions.
The attack was too fast. There were no unnecessary movements, no hesitation, no killing intent, and no killing intent at all. Then, it sliced through the four-eyed man's windpipe, severed his neck, and nailed him to the wall.
If this place was built with the same materials as Neo's, then it would be very difficult to leave a mark on the walls. However, this brawny man's blade had pierced through the four-eyed monster's neck and left a hole in the wall. It was obvious how special his blade was.
The blade wasn't big, and its earthy gray blade didn't reflect any light. However, it looked ordinary from afar. Silin had seen the brawny man play with this blade before. The brawny man skillfully turned the blade over and over in his hands. It looked like he had been playing with it for many years.
Some people would withdraw their killing intent after killing too many people. They were like old hunters hiding in the dark, silently delivering a fatal blow to their prey. Judging from this, Silin knew that this fiendish looking brawny man had taken more than a thousand lives, unless this was his nature.
It took him less than five seconds to finish off these two people. In a fight between experts, life was short.
After the four-eyed man was dead, the brawny man walked over and pulled out the blade. Blood dripped down the tip of the blade until there was no trace of blood left on it.
Silin stared at the brawny man cautiously. Although he wasn't aiming his gun at the brawny man, he was ready to fire the second the brawny man made a move.
When the brawny man saw Silin's reaction, he folded the blade and raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.
"You're the helper the kid called over?" the brawny man asked.
Silin didn't answer. Instead, he yelled at the room behind the brawny man, "Hei Dou, come out and contact Neo."
Hei Dou shrank into a corner when she heard the commotion outside, but her eyes lit up when she heard Silin's words. She stood up and walked out. The big man standing at the door moved aside to let Hei Dou pass. Hei Dou carefully looked at the big man, then at Silin, and walked step by step towards Silin.
Silin tossed a list to Hei Dou, who was walking over. It was Neo's list. "Here are the things Neo is looking for."
Hei Dou relaxed when she saw the familiar words on the list. She moved the metal bracelet around her wrist and sent a message to Neo. Then, she went into the laboratory to prepare the medicine.
Only Silin, the burly man, and the two corpses were left outside.
Huimao jumped onto the two corpses and began to search for tools. After searching for a long time, he did not find anything useful. There were only two modified guns and a knife that he had picked up somewhere.
"These two guns belong to that little girl, not them," the big man said.
"What about yours?" Silin looked at the big man and did not see any guns on him.
"No." The big man made a helpless gesture. "Those two didn't trust me, so they didn't let me touch the guns. We're not together. We met them in the forest and helped them take care of some wild beasts. They said they found a safe place and asked me to come with them. That's why we came here. Oh, and if I hadn't stopped them, that little girl would've died a long time ago. "
The big man sat down on the ground after saying this, completely ignoring Silin's vigilance. He kept the knife in his hand.
Silin looked at the big man quietly and asked, "Who are you?"
The big man smiled mockingly when he heard Silin's question. "Just a prisoner."
"Why did you come to this place?"
"I don't know. I woke up in this strange place. If I didn't have a knife in my hand, I would've been eaten by the wild beasts in the forest and turned into a pile of shit a long time ago."
The big man sat cross-legged on the ground with one hand on his leg and the other supporting his chin. He looked a little dispirited.
Inside the lab, Hei Dou's mood improved a lot when she learned that the young man who saved her was called Silin.
"Silin, I'll go with you in a bit! I've prepared everything you asked for, and there are some spare supplies in the lab. Take them with you when you leave, "Hei Dou said happily.
"You're going too?" Silin looked a little troubled. Was the eagle really strong enough to carry the load? Two people, a cat, and all those resources? It was going to be a difficult task.
"Yeah, I'm bringing the lab with me!" Hei Dou said while packing.
"Lab?"
"Yes, my lab is a little special. It can actually be considered an independent body and can fly."
Silin was surprised. Huimao's scan didn't reveal anything special about the lab. He didn't expect it to be so special.
"Can I go with you?" The big man looked at Silin, and then at Hei Dou. "You promised me that this place won't be safe after your lab leaves."
Hei Dou's lab was the core of this safety zone. Once the lab left, the safety zone's defenses would plummet.
Hei Dou nodded. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Silin. "Can we take him with us?"
Silin didn't agree immediately. They needed help right now, and this man didn't look like a heinous criminal. However, there were too many things to consider under these special circumstances. If something went wrong inside, the safety zone would collapse.
Silin pulled Hei Dou over and said a few words to her. Hei Dou nodded and ran back into the lab. A moment later, she came back out and said something to Silin. Silin looked curiously at the big man and signaled for Hei Dou to go back to her work. They would leave immediately after she was done packing.
Silin walked up to the big man. The big man waited for his reply.
"Tu Ba?" Silin said.
The big man narrowed his eyes. Then, he looked indifferent. "I didn't think someone would recognize me."
"A friend knows you. He asked us to take you there. Nice working with you. "
The big man paused for a moment before chuckling. "Nice working with you."
Hei Dou's safety zone was half the size of Neo's. When Silin asked Hei Dou why it was like this, Hei Dou said that Neo had too many demands. When the safety zone was assigned, the guy immediately took it for himself and gave a bunch of excuses and data analysis.
Now that he thought about it, it made sense. Given Neo's personality, he had always been a self-centered person. Words like humility and euphemism didn't even exist in his dictionary.
Hei Dou had guns, but they weren't like the ones the four-eyed man and the others had obtained earlier. Most of Hei Dou's guns were locked in a secret storage cabinet in the lab, and the ones she had shown them were just some initial test products.
Hei Dou also gave Tu Ba a gun. Silin didn't have any objections. Since Gu Xin trusted this person, it meant that this person was related to the military. Although he didn't know what exactly happened, Tu Ba was still a trustworthy person for the time being and a great help.
Silin had always thought that the most dangerous thing in this place wasn't the biochemical beasts or the wild beasts, but the humans. The invasion would begin when the humans formed small groups. No one knew what would happen in the next twenty days, so Silin's goal was to gather all the forces in the surroundings before these small groups matured.
After packing up, Hei Dou set the security department's internal system to hibernate. All the access control windows were closed, and the place was completely sealed off.
Silin whistled when he came out. Before Mercury appeared, two bioweapons hiding in a nearby cave heard the whistle and ran over. Silin raised his gun and fired twice.
The gun Silin used was the poisonous kind. The Tricolored Bean's poison was useless against the white rats, but it was deadly against the bioweapons.
Tu Ba looked at Silin thoughtfully when he saw the two bioweapons fall to the ground.
Mercury quickly came over. The poor guy was covered in snow and ice shards. He probably hadn't found a suitable place to hide, and the cold wind had almost turned him into an ice sculpture. The second it heard Cillin's whistle, Mercury immediately flew over eagerly.
Silin didn't ride on the eagle this time. Instead, he stayed in the flying lab with Tu Ba, Hei Dou, and the others. After the lab left the safe zone, it turned into an independent flying structure. It didn't have to endure the cold wind and snow.
However, Huimao still chose to sit on the eagle's back. It looked more artistic when you had wings!
While flying back to Neo's safe zone, Silin looked at the scans in Hei Dou's flying lab. The white dots represented the white rats, the blue dots represented the wild beasts, and the brown dots represented the bioweapons.
Right now, the blue and brown dots were mostly concentrated in a few places. Those places were probably sheltered from the wind and snow, but the white dots were more scattered.
By the time they returned to Neo's safe zone, there were seventeen white rats on the scans. Compared to when Silin went to Hei Dou's lab, he saw more. It looked like the modification of the guns was imminent.
Hei Dou's lab merged into Neo's safe zone from the edge of the cliff and made some adjustments to the external facilities.
Neo was very unhappy that his zone was partially modified. He blah blah blah blah blah blah, from internal stability to harmonious development, from local factors to macroscopic adjustments, he made one logical argument after another. However, no one paid him any attention. Other than Tu Ba, who was surprised to see such a weirdo for the first time, everyone else was numb to it and ignored Neo's protests.
After Hei Dou arrived, she busied herself with the merging of the lab and the safe zone. Now that she had obtained the materials Silin needed, she was starting to synthesize a new bomb.
Erty was very unwilling to accept the fact that the four-eyed man had been killed. If he wanted revenge, it would only be meaningful if he did it himself. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair.
Gu Xin was the happiest about Tu Ba's arrival. Tu Ba was from the army and was once a high-ranking officer. However, some things happened and Tu Ba was imprisoned in the Empire's prison for life.
"Three years. It's only three years, but it's enough to completely destroy a person. It's enough to erase all of that person's achievements. From being respected to being despised by others, it's only been three years." Tu Ba sighed after talking with Gu Xin.
"That's not your fault. The empire is too big. It's inevitable that there will be rotten parts," Gu Xin comforted.
"When I was in there, I used to wonder if my beliefs were wrong. I wondered if the oath we all obeyed back then was wrong, but I gradually stopped thinking about it."
"Why?"
"Because there's no time for you to think about those things in prison. A moment of carelessness and you'll lose your life." Tu Ba pointed at his chest. When he was in prison, there were a few times where he had almost been pierced through.
"How did the imperial prison end up like that?!" Gu Xin exclaimed.
"The imperial prison? Heh, "Tu Ba rubbed his forehead," There are many types of imperial prisons. "
Gu Xin didn't ask further when he saw that Tu Ba didn't want to explain. He patted Tu Ba's shoulder. It was rare to find someone who came from the same military background as him.
"Oh right, Gu Xin, I want to ask you something," Tu Ba said.
"What? Let me be clear. I don't know anything about this place. Just like you, I woke up here. "
"Not that. What I want to ask is, what's the background of that Celine guy?"
"Him?" Gu Xin shrugged. "I don't know either."
"There's no file on someone with that kind of ability in the military?"
"I've never seen any files on him."
Huimao rolled on the table. When it rolled over and saw Gu Xin's pigtail, its claws itched again. It raised its claws to play with it.
Tu Ba found it interesting. He raised his finger and poked Huimao. Huimao scratched a few marks.
"Yo, you have a fast reaction!" Not only was Tu Ba not angry, he was even more interested.
Gu Xin nudged Tu Ba with his elbow. "Don't provoke it. This little guy is very powerful."
Tu Ba didn't give up. He only stopped after poking his face a few times and scratching a few marks.
The materials provided by Hei Dou were very good. They completely satisfied Silin's expectations. Although he could only make a limited number of bombs, it was enough to deal with the white mice.
Cillin had created three types of bombs, and the explosive power and penetrative power of the three types of bullets were different. They were suitable for killing white mice and biochemical beasts from different angles.
Hei Dou and Neo worked together to set up new defenses and made a batch of micro-surveillance devices. They were scattered around the forest near the safe zone. Some scanners were set up at a distance as well. These surveillance devices and scanners were more discreet. The wild beasts wouldn't be able to detect them unless they were in close proximity.
"There's a white mouse fifteen hundred meters away. Are you guys going to take it out?" Hei Dou shouted at the people in the living room.
Coincidentally, Silin had already made a batch of bombs and distributed them to everyone.
"Let's take out that mouse first. It's going to cause trouble for the safe zone if it gets close." Hua Li picked up the gun and bullets Silin had left on the table at the center.
"I'll take care of it this time." Erty walked out of the room with his gun in hand. He wanted to vent some of his pent-up frustration now that his body had recovered.
"Erty, Gu Xin, and Tu Ba are enough. Hua Li, you shouldn't go until you're fully recovered. The three of them are more than enough, "Silin said.
Hua Li frowned and was about to say something when Neo interrupted coldly, "It's just a waste of bullets if I'm not fully recovered."
Erty ignored Hua Li and Neo's sarcasm and left the room first. Gu Xin gave him a reassuring gesture and followed Erty up the elevator with Tu Ba.
Silin dragged Neo, who was arguing with Hua Li, by the back of the collar and into the lab.
"Let's see how powerful the new bullets are and compile the latest data."
When it came to data, Neo ignored Hua Li and turned on the device. Hei Dou also came over to watch. Ah Shou and Hua Li stayed in the living room and watched the situation outside through the screen.
On the screen, Erty and the other two had quickly found a rendezvous point. The three of them were spread out in three different directions. It was a good place to work together. Once they trapped the white mouse in one place, the other two would be able to follow up and kill it no matter where it went.
Bang!
A bullet brushed past the white mouse's eye socket, penetrated its skin, and exploded there. The explosion destroyed the white mouse's entire eye.
Before the white mouse could get angry, two bullets came from two different directions and hit the spot where the first bullet exploded.
Two explosions later, the white mouse's head was blown off. In reality, the second bullet was more than enough to blow off its head. The third bullet was just a safety precaution.
"Judging from the data, the first bullet was pretty destructive. The white mouse's brain nerves were damaged, and its movements paused for a moment. This made it easier for the second bullet to hit its target," Hei Dou said excitedly.
"But if my guess is correct, Erty's first shot was aimed at the white mouse's eye and missed," Neo criticized mercilessly.
"That's because the white mouse reacted too quickly and moved in that instant. There's no way the previous bullets would've blown off its entire eye." Cillin recorded down the data the machine processed so that it could be used as a reference for the subsequent modification of the bullets.
Ah Shou was drinking fruit juice in the living room when she blinked and said, "The sky is going to clear up soon."
Erty happened to hear Ah Shou's words and asked, "How long until it clears up?"
"Two days."
"When the sky clears up, those things will come out again." Erty twirled the gun in his hand. This time, he wasn't afraid of those things anymore. He had a weapon and a helper, so what was there to be afraid of?
Silin told everyone to rest well for the next two days after hearing the news because they might not have much time to rest.
What would happen after the sky clears up? According to Ah Shou, the temperature would rise rapidly. After the snow melted, parts of the land would turn into puddles and swamps. Would there be even more strange things at that time?
Silin couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen.
No matter what, they had to be fully prepared. Be it the white mouse, the bioweapon, the alien Hua Li met, or anyone else who hadn't shown themselves yet, there was bound to be a conflict that needed to be resolved in a violent way.
Hei Dou and Neo's new defense system was more than half complete. Sometimes, Silin would go out and disguise the surveillance cameras outside the branch.
Erty and the others weren't people who could sit around and do nothing. Even when they had enough sleep, they wore protective gear and went into the forest to hunt some wild beasts for practice.
When the last snowflake had fallen, the sky slowly cleared up.
The hailstorm and snowstorm had come and gone as quickly as it came. The melting snow had flooded some of the low-lying areas. And in those places, round heads popped out of the water one after another, running towards higher ground.
