Time: Early morning of December 10, 149

Zhang Yu and his party, who had been trapped in the mysterious X area for many days, left the forest, and they headed in the direction of sunrise, and finally found a small town at the end of the forest.

A town with a quaint style, but with a new texture.

025 put down the sniper rifle and picked up the communicator and said, "Everything is normal!" ”

Upon receiving the message, 003 and the others immediately began to infiltrate the town.

They moved swiftly and silently, and it took only ten minutes to make their way through the town and back to their original starting point.

Zhang Yu, who was waiting in place, asked, "How is it?" Anyone? ”

003 shook his head, "No, not a single bio signal...... The town is empty......"

"Empty?!" Zhang Yu felt that something was wrong, and he looked back at the road.

The forest had been left far behind them, but that wasn't the point, the point was the chromatic difference in the sky that looked like a divider.

It's like an artist's artistic painting.

The sky in the direction of the forest was gray, and suddenly, the moment they stepped out of the forest, the sky turned blue, unbelievably clear.

Even in Ogu Bay, it's rare to see that kind of intoxicating blue.

And now, they stand outside the deserted town, surrounded by lush flowers and a gentle breeze, which is particularly pleasant under the morning light.

But Zhang Yu felt inexplicably weird......

The town can't be empty for no reason...... No one will leave an empty human complex here.

And...... These houses are empty, but they don't feel old at all, which is so abnormal.

"According to the previous grouping, I will carefully search the town, and report the abnormality immediately!"

"Roger!"

The squad was divided into three groups.

003 with a group, 009 with a group, Zhang Yu alone.

Three groups of people enter the town through three entrances outside the town.

At first, everyone was nervous, because this was the mysterious Area X, and they had experienced such a terrible crash before, so ...... Everyone believed in their hearts that bloodthirsty monsters could sprang up at any time in some seemingly normal place.

Zhang Yu was the same, but with the help of the Desperate Weapon's crystallization and concealment system, he could be a little easier.

Like an outsider, Zhang Yu walked on the main roads of the town, not holding a weapon, or rather the most powerful weapon in his own right.

The severely damaged spine has almost recovered, and now Zhang Yu can disarm the puppeteer system and act on his own.

This sense of steadiness reassured him at first, but now he feels like something is going to happen to him every step he takes in the town.

However, in fact...... It's that he thinks too much.

It wasn't until everyone searched the town in detail that the danger that should have existed did not appear, and this was a mysterious, but very beautiful and warm town.

The only thing that feels abnormal is the presence of signs of human activity near the flower beds in the center of town.

Now I'm working with 003 and that group is around here.

There are traces of objects being dragged on the ground, although they have been cleaned up well, but they can't escape Zhang Yu's eyes.

Following the traces, 003 found a few antique cars parked on the side of the road that were somewhat abnormal.

Upon closer inspection, they found that the engines of the cars had been disassembled, and they were so unprofessional when they were put back in that many of the connections were incorrect.

003 inspected the weight of the engines and said, "I didn't find any disassembly equipment around here, it seems that this guy has a lot of strength." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, and the sense of crisis was re-established.

He returned to where the traces were concentrated, and then determined through his spectral vision that someone had been sleeping there.

"This is where the campfire is, and the fuel is not wood, but the fuel for the cars......" 003 shared the results of the soil test.

Zhang Yu stood up and looked around, and then stumbled upon a rather special villa.

Villas are not uncommon in the town.

But the style of this building is clearly different from the town.

So Zhang Yu gathered everyone, formulated a plan, and then led the team into the villa.

As a result, as soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Yu was shocked by the scene in front of him......

I saw that the inside of the villa hall seemed to have been destroyed by some kind of explosive...... There was a glaring void on the ground, and all the furniture was missing, presumably destroyed in the explosion.

However, after entering the hall, he found that the doors and windows around the hall were intact, and the scope of the explosion was well contained in the hall.

Zhang Yu opened his ghost vision and carefully inspected the hall, and found some drag marks similar to those on the road before.

Following this trace, Zhang Yu pushed open the door of the study.

And then......

"Bang...... Sou!!! ”

As if the mechanism had been triggered, the moment the door of the study was pushed open, a crossbow in the corner of the study shot a sharp arrow.

Zhang Yu reacted quickly, and he raised his hand to knock the arrow away.

However, these are just the beginning.

At the same time that the mechanism on Zhang Yu's side was triggered, there was a continuous explosion in the hall.

It's not loud, but it's very dense.

003 These are battle-hardened veterans, and although they are a little surprised, they are not flustered at all.

Immediately close the mask, activate the spectral vision, raise the weapon, and cover each other in a group of three.

But even so, a figure dormant on the ceiling seized the space in their defense and dropped a ball from the air.

When 003 spotted the figure, the ball had already detonated behind the three team members.

The explosion was staggering.

The three team members were blown out in an instant, and the doors and windows around the hall were all shattered.

The defensive team outside the villa immediately went into a state of alert, and 009 hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?!" What's wrong? ”

003 was also affected by the explosion, but the exoskeleton did a good job of mitigating the damage caused by the explosion.

He hurriedly got up and said, "Attention! The enemy appears! Don't let him run! ”

Upon receiving the message, 009 immediately asked the team to disperse and surround the villa.

In the distance, 025 and 017 also set up sniper rifles, sealing off the villa from two angles.

It can be said that as long as the target appears at this time, then he will definitely die.

However, the other party is not stupid, he did not choose to flee the villa immediately after causing a series of explosions, but hid again under the cover of the explosion.

Zhang Yu picked up the injured member and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

The power of the explosion just now was truly staggering.

But for the elite of the heavily armed border guards, it is still a pediatric.

"It hurts a little, but it's fine." The injury was indeed not serious, and 035 got up and said, "But this guy seems to know us well......"

Zhang Yu is also aware of this.

Previously, they had carried out a full range of biometric scans on the villa before entering the villa.

However, this scan is not foolproof.

Objects like special anomalous creatures, or targets with a masking layer on their bodies cannot be scanned.

Now this guy has not only avoided the scan, but is also very familiar with Te

The tactical execution strategy of the service team, if you want to say that he is an aborigine, Zhang Yu does not believe it.

So he said to everyone: "Everyone activate crystallization and hide, let's play hide and seek with him." ”

Everyone did so, and when the dust settled, the hall was empty.

The mysterious man dormant in the darkness looked around, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he stuck to the wall like Spider-Man, moving silently.

Zhang Yu switched the field of view module while continuing to approach the study.

Since the other party has set a trap here in the study, there must be some secret in this study.

After entering the study, Zhang Yu found an open secret passage.

At the same time, he noticed that there were some remnants of spectral waveforms that had not been detected before......

These are traces left by human activity.

Zhang Yu opened his ghost vision and tried to capture it, but suddenly the back of his head was cold, and a voice appeared in his ears.

"Let your people out, or I'll just blow your head off."

Zhang Yu was very confident in the strength of the Desperate Situation, but he didn't plan to gamble, so he simply did it.

"Everybody goes out ......"

003 was entering the second floor and was very surprised when he heard the order.

"Sir?"

"Do as I say, and quit." Zhang Yu's tone was calm, and he deliberately used external vocalizations to give orders, and at the same time, he also lifted his crystallized hidden state.

The mysterious man behind him looked like a monster that had just crawled out of the mud, and he listened intently to the sounds outside the study.

As if to make sure that everyone else was gone, he continued: "Alright, take off your desperate arm, and then I'll take you to a fun place." ”

Zhang Yu did as he heard this, and said softly at the same time: "Fun place? Are you familiar with this place? ”

"Tsk...... It's okay, it's only been ten years. ”

Decade?!

"That's not a short story." Zhang Yu pressed the button on his heart, and then the desperate forces immediately began to contact and cover.

Unlike conventional mechanical exoskeletons, the Desperate Armament uses a superstring outlining technique based on the active Yi Yuanzi, which transforms into a button-sized object when the coverage is removed, and this button matrix is usually directly embedded in the central nervous system of the armed person.

"yes...... I didn't even expect to see anyone alive again. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yu was in contact with the weapon, the other party removed the weapon, and he said, "Okay, Captain Zhang, turn around." ”

Well?

Zhang Yu was stunned, the other party actually recognized him.

But when Zhang Yu turned his head and saw the opposite side, Zhang Yu had no impression of the guy in front of him.

"Who are you? How do you recognize me? Zhang Yu asked.

The other party heaved and said, "It doesn't matter to you who I am, the important thing is that you know what your situation is now?" ”

Zhang Yu: "Situation? Stuck here like you? ”

The mysterious man shook his head: "No, no, no, this place is not a cage, at least now I don't think this place is a cage." ”

Wacky guys......

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Then what kind of place is this?" ”

The mysterious man took a step back with a gun and sat down on his desk and said, "This is an experimental field. ”

"Experimental grounds?"

"Yes, a place that has been used as an experimental site since its inception."

"How do you know for sure?"

"Tsk, ten years, I'll use time to determine this." The mysterious man said and smiled: "Captain Zhang, you don't seem to believe my words at all?" ”

Let's be honest...... Zhang Yu really doesn't trust this guy very much.
