In fact, when Wang Bing suddenly pulled out his gun and fired a barrage of bullets at the empty space behind him, the investigation team fell into chaos.
All of this happened very suddenly.
When he heard Irin whisper that someone was secretly following him.
At first, Wang Bing did not believe it.
As an outstanding graduate of the Special Warfare Department, he did not realize it. How did Irin, this little brat, discover it?
Moreover, he was a young man who had just graduated from high school and had not had the time to enter the Special Warfare Department.
But when Wang Bing used professional reconnaissance methods to quietly survey the surroundings, he quickly accepted this fact in shock.
Around the investigation team …
There were "outsiders."
And there was more than one.
Although he did not know how Irin discovered it, Wang Bing made the most professional judgment after confirming this fact.
When things were uncertain … Listen to the command.
In the arrangement of the investigation team and the Secret Service team, Irin was the superior who was hiding in the dark.
Therefore, the scene not long ago occurred.
"Don't worry, there's no one on your side for the time being."
Wang Bing looked around suspiciously, but he saw a child-like figure flash by in the thick fog.
Was it an illusion?
Wang Bing rubbed his eyes.
The child's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After dealing with everything, Wang Bing carried his gun and carefully went to Irin and Molly.
In an instant, Wang Bing was shocked speechless by the blood and shredded flesh on the ground.
Dumbfounded, dumbfounded.
Of course, the reason for his shock was slightly different from Molly's.
He did not think that the scene was too violent.
The reason for Wang Bing's shock was … Irin could create such a scene by herself.
"This …"
Irin did not want to explain too much and directly interrupted Wang Bing's confusion. "Look at the pile on the ground … Can you recognize who it is?"
Two people? Three people? Four people?
Wang Bing used his professional eyes and quickly determined the number of enemies represented by the "bodies" on the ground.
"Four kills?"
In the end, Wang Bing had no choice but to accept this terrible fact.
The seemingly ordinary and harmless "young man" in front of him was actually a terrifying existence that hid his strength well.
He suddenly recalled a legend.
The members of the Special Operations Group … were all monsters.
Therefore, those people were the special group.
Not only did they specialize in dealing with "anomalies."
They themselves —
It was also an "anomaly".
Wang Bing calmed himself down in the shortest amount of time. He squatted on the ground and carefully identified it.
In fact, it was undoubtedly difficult to determine the identity of the enemy from the pile of minced meat.
However, Irin had tried her best to keep her head intact so that Wang Bing could identify her corpse.
If half of his head … could be considered complete.
"Two, three Caucasians, one black man …"
Wang Bing muttered, "They're from overseas."
"Hmm?" Irin could tell. "What else?"
"They're probably special forces from outside of Chidragon."
After Wang Bing finished identifying them, he stood up with a solemn expression.
Irin did not comment. She quietly listened to Wang Bing's judgment.
"They're wearing the latest 'gamma military camouflage'. It's covered with complicated components … It can automatically refract the surrounding light. To a certain extent, it can almost reach the level of 'invisibility.' Of course, I think Miss Molly should know the structure and principle of this camouflage better than anyone else. "
"The point is …" Wang Bing smiled bitterly. "This thing is very strictly controlled. Even the killers and mercenaries of the underground world can't get their hands on it so easily."
"The five-man tactical team configuration is also the most classic team configuration that has been used to this day. Of course, the most important point is … "
Wang Bing raised his head and stared into Irin's calm eyes. He voiced his judgment. "Mercenaries and killers won't commit suicide casually."
"That makes sense. It's just as I guessed. "
Wang Bing: "?"
Irin smiled and said, "There's one thing. I don't know if you've thought about it before. A standard five-man tactical team … why are there four people on our side and … there's only one person on your side? "
"Could it be …"
Wang Bing's pupils contracted.
Irin smiled and asked, "Could you have guessed that I would be able to kill four people in the beginning?"
Wang Bing slowly shook his head.
"That's it. If even you couldn't guess it, these people would definitely not be able to guess it either. Don't forget, your side also has a standard five-man tactical team … "
"Either these people think that Molly and I are more of a threat …"
"Or …" Irin sighed. "Our side is more important."
Shua shua.
Irin and Wang Bing turned to look at Molly at the same time.
"Wait …" Molly, who had been quietly listening to the two of them analyzing the case, saw the two of them looking at her at the same time. She instantly understood and her eyes widened. "Their target is actually … me?"
…
…
The three of them returned to the team.
Irin and Molly acted as if nothing had happened. In addition, under Irin's instructions, Wang Bing did not publicize Irin's "quadruple kill" achievement.
Wang Bing casually found a reason to fool them and then went to deal with the body of the deceased.
Although the other members of the investigation team experienced a period of chaos, it did not cause too much of an impact in the end. Soon, they were busy with their observation work.
After all, no man's land was synonymous with "danger". They had already been aware of this before joining the investigation team. This small episode did not dampen their enthusiasm for the investigation. Instead, it boosted the morale of the investigation team by a lot.
At the same time, they were glad that they had the protection of the special service team on this investigation trip.
Molly originally joined the investigation team just to find an excuse to come to Qingcheng. In addition, with Irin, who was closely related to the "tower", as a "living experimental subject", Molly was not too enthusiastic about the investigation. After a few careless moments, she quietly snuck to Irin's side.
"Tell me, how did you discover those people wearing the 'camouflage clothes'?"
The most advanced gamma military camouflage clothes were covered with complicated optical components. In terms of effect, it was extremely close to the level of "invisibility". Molly was very curious about how Irin discovered it.
When Irin held her small hand, Molly really thought that Irin was taking advantage of her at first.
But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that something was wrong. Usually, when the two of them were alone, Irin did not even bother to look at her, except when he had something to do. Could it be that he was into "public view"?
After experiencing the initial shock and awkwardness, Molly quickly realized that Irin was writing in her palm.
So … there was the scene of "peeing" later.
Life was like a play, and it was all about acting.
Anyway, it was not the first time. Molly suddenly felt that her acting skills seemed to have improved rapidly.
Irin smiled and said, "Have you forgotten?"
"Hmm?" Molly was stunned.
Then, in an instant, she felt that an invisible "tentacle" quietly touched her face.
Molly immediately understood.
That was Irin's "ability".
"My perception range is about 21 meters. Within this range, as long as there is something moving, almost nothing can escape my perception."
"What about those blood vessels? What's going on? Genetic mutation? "
Molly could not help but ask again.
At the same time, she was secretly amazed at Irin's endless "supernatural abilities".
"Haha." Irin smiled.
"?" Molly typed a question mark.
"Forbidden matter."
“！”
No one noticed that when Irin returned, the shadow of a white child silently merged into Irin's body.
Bai Xiaoyi.
When Irin sensed the existence of those "invisible people", she secretly used the skill [Spirit Summon] that came with the Spirit Augmentation weapon and released Little White.
If this was in broad daylight, in front of everyone's eyes, a shadow that appeared from Irin's body would definitely scare people out of their wits.
But in the gray fog, Bai Xiaoyi's spiritual body was almost transparent. She merged into the gray fog and disappeared.
And the summoned "spirit", although it would continuously consume Spiritual Energy Value, had a hidden function that was very practical.
That was … shared vision.
Irin could switch to Bai Xiaoyi's vision at any time.
It was commonly known as … eye insertion.
And this "eye" could move at will.
Moreover, the vision of a "spirit" was very different from that of a human.
That was … living people would emit light.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
This feeling, even when Irin switched to Bai Xiaoyi's vision, was difficult to describe with words.
But overall, even if those people were wearing camouflage clothes, in Bai Xiaoyi's vision, they were as dazzling as Li Changge in the crowd, like light bulbs.
Camouflage clothes could only affect the structure of the human retina, but it could not affect the eyes of a "spirit".
It was precisely because of this that Irin was able to accurately remind Wang Bing of the enemy's location when the other party was "invisible."
And the question Molly asked was indeed a "forbidden matter."
Before Irin obtained the "Twin Spirit" Augmentation card, she did not expect that the Twin Spirit would have such a benefit.
Generally speaking, after the spirit body was separated from the Spirit Augmentation weapon, it could not use the Spirit Augmentation skill related to the spirit body.
For example … the change of form.
But the Twin Spirit Augmentation card was different. When one spirit was released, there would be another spirit.
The Spirit Augmentation weapon Blood Jasmine, because of the two spirits of Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi, could also change the form of two weapons.
Bai Xiaoyi's change of form was not mentioned for the time being.
The "blood threads" he used for quadruple kill were Nie Hongxiu's ability.
The form of the Spirit Augmentation weapon seemed to be related to the spirit body's ability or preference when it was alive.
And the thing that Nie Hongxiu left the deepest impression on Irin during the Haunted-mist Mountain trial was undoubtedly her head of white hair that she could control freely.
One of the forms of Blood Jasmine used Nie Hongxiu's ability … or preference.
Coupled with the enhanced [Killing Skill] that Irin learned during the Haunted-mist Mountain trial, the camouflage clothes that the four foreign soldiers wore with a certain degree of defensive power were useless.
Just like the setting in an ancient masochistic game … all equipment was paper.
The difference was thick paper and thin paper.
"But … this consumption is really …"
Irin rubbed the slightly stinging space between his eyebrows and secretly glanced at the remaining Spiritual Energy Value. He could not help but smile bitterly.
The consumption of Spiritual Energy Value for the Spirit Augmentation weapon's [Form Change] was immeasurable.
Take the "blood threads" for example. The more threads that were separated and the larger the range, the more the consumption.
In this short round of killing, Irin had consumed more than half of his Spiritual Energy Value.
Helpless, he could only temporarily put away Bai Xiaoyi and reduce the range of his psychokinesis perception. He only left a few invisible "tentacles" around himself and Molly, just in case.
He had a hunch that since the other party dared to do such a thing in Chidragon's territory, it was not as simple as a five-person team.
"Forget it. Since I have nothing to do, I'll go and test it. Let's see if the magnetic field changes here are any different from the other observation points."
Seeing that she could not get any more information from Irin, Molly clapped her hands and prepared to leave.
Irin hesitated for a moment and did not say anything.
Molly rolled her eyes at Irin. "Don't tell me the result. It doesn't matter if it works or not. I'm still a little interested. What if you tell me the result directly and I lose interest in doing research in the future?"
When Yi Lin heard this, she swallowed the words that she was about to say.
Molly smiled and said, "Even if the 'future' is predestined, the process of exploration is actually more interesting, isn't it? Besides … with a butterfly like you, many things in the future are unpredictable! "
Irin carefully considered Molly's words. A few seconds later, he shook his head and showed a hint of relief at the corner of his mouth. "You're right. But don't go too far away from me. "
"Okay, okay!" After Molly agreed, she began to do her own things.
With the attack of the "invisible man" first, Molly did not dare to go too far away from Irin.
After all, there were so many people here, and only Irin could really protect her safety.
Even with her eyes closed, Molly seemed to be able to feel that there were psychokinetic tentacles from Irin around her, shielding her from the wind and rain.
Thinking of this, she could not help but happily hum a little tune.
After Irin simply replenished his water, he sat not far away from Molly and closed his eyes to rest.
He silently recovered his Psionic Energy Value.
Although his eyes were closed, within the sensing range of the psychokinetic tentacles, to some extent, it was even more sensitive than vision.
Because psychokinesis came from the brain, everything that the psychokinetic tentacles sensed was directly transmitted through the optic nerve.
Therefore, once the "psychokinetic tentacles" sensed danger, Irin's reaction was far faster than the "vision."
Other than Irin, the other members of the field team did not dare to let their guard down.
Irin also hinted to Wang Bing that his "senses" were not omnipotent, so Wang Bing did not dare to miss even the slightest movement. He stared at the surrounding gray fog.
Before rejoining the team, Irin briefly analyzed the current situation for Wang Bing.
First of all, there might be an unknown number of enemies hiding in the dark.
Secondly, the enemy's goal must be to capture Molly alive. After all, Molly's most valuable parts were her brain and research ability.
Therefore, no matter how many people the enemy had, they would not use weapons such as sniper rifles or large-scale explosives that could accidentally injure Molly. Therefore, when the team gathered together, the enemy would be more restrained and would not dare to act rashly.
Another half an hour passed.
The other members of the investigation team had also finished their work.
Feng Manqing also carefully collected all the specimens that were exposed to the gray fog and were affected by it. She then put them back into the incubator and sealed them for safekeeping.
When they returned to the laboratory, they could record the changes in the specimens and obtain research data.
"Okay! Is everyone done? We are ready to go to the next observation point! "
Ju Xiuyuan shouted excitedly for everyone to gather. The attack just now did not affect his desire to explore at all.
Instead, it made him even more enthusiastic.
This group of researchers who were holed up in the laboratory every day did not realize that the attack just now was just the beginning.
The closer they got to the tower, the thicker the gray fog became.
The visibility also became lower.
"Has everyone finished their work?"
After they gathered, Ju Xiuyuan acted like a captain. He replaced Molly and asked everyone directly.
The other members of the investigation team also responded.
Molly yawned lazily and quietly moved closer to Irin.
It was safer.
"Some people seem to be sitting there slacking …" Ju Xiuyuan suddenly looked at Irin with bright eyes.
Suddenly.
Irin's expression froze.
But it was not because of Ju Xiuyuan's words.
It was because …
Just as Ju Xiuyuan spoke, a line of text appeared in front of his eyes.
…
[An unknown target used the skill "Appraisal" on you … Skill activation failed!]
…
"…"
Appraisal?
Irin's heart skipped a beat.
On the surface, Irin's expression did not change, but in an instant, she expanded the range of her perception.
Irin raised her head and shrugged helplessly at Ju Xiuyuan. "I can't help it. Your equipment is too complicated. I can't do it even if you want me to. If I break it, I can't afford to pay for it."
Ju Xiuyuan heard this and stopped talking. He did not argue with Irin. His eyebrows relaxed a little and he said in a muffled voice, "Well, it's good that you understand. Remember that you are only an intern researcher in this investigation team … Although you lack a lot of necessary professional knowledge, you still have to do your job well. "
"Professor Ju."
At this time, another tall man came from the side and laughed. "Why are you so calculative with a student? Isn't an internship just an experience? Besides, this young man has the courage to follow us into the no man's land. This kind of fearlessness is already commendable. There's no need to ask for too much … Haha. "
Ju Xiuyuan looked at the tall man who came to smooth things over. He did not say much and left to continue packing his equipment.
"Hello, Dr. Liu."
After Ju Xiuyuan left, Irin greeted him.
"Huh? You know me? "
"Before the investigation team set off, Mo Li briefly explained your situation to us," Yi Lin said with a smile, not bothering to hide anything.
Liu Nian'an touched his chin. There was a ring of sparse stubble on his chin, which made him look a little sloppy.
Liu Nian'an patted Irin's shoulder. "I thought you read my article in a science magazine."
"Uh … Creation?"
"You read it? Which one? "Liu Nian'an's eyes lit up.
"I only read 'To the Firmament That Mankind Will Eventually Lose.'"
Liu Nian'an's expression froze. He smiled bitterly. "This article was written by your little girlfriend …"
Irin was slightly startled, but he closed his mouth and did not comment.
Liu Nian'an smiled. Seeing Irin's awkward expression, he did not continue to harp on Irin. Instead, he handed a military water bottle to Irin.
"Drink some water?"
Irin waved his hand. "No, I just drank."
Liu Nian'an poured a cup and took a big gulp. His expression became more serious. "This should be your first time in the no man's land. You don't know how scary it is. In the gray fog, you must replenish your water and food. If your body's immune system is weakened due to dehydration and hunger, it will increase the chances of being corroded by the gray fog. I don't want you to die without knowing why. "
As he spoke, Liu Nian'an put his wet hand on Irin's forehead and felt Irin's pulse.
Irin was silent.
Liu Nian'an did not stop for long. He moved his hand away from Irin's wrist and nodded. "Your temperature is normal … your pulse is not fast. Take care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, you can come to me. I have some medicine that can increase your immune system."
"You suspect that the death of the gray fog is caused by the virus?" Irin asked.
