Final fight

The restricted area Feng Chang mentioned is located at the junction of Areas B and C of the Northeast Base. It is a mountain itself, and the woods on the mountain are quite lush.

Standing at the entrance of the restricted area at the foot of the mountain, Lu Yiting took a rough look at the restricted area, and then said to Ye Yang: "It's so quiet and weird."

Ye Yang, who was hearing-impaired, naturally couldn't hear clearly what was going on in the mountains and woods, but when he heard what Lu Yiting said, he immediately believed Lu Yiting's judgment.

Then, with Feng Chang's worried and frightened expression, Lu Yiting and Ye Yang boldly and formally entered the restricted area.

For the two people who are very good at survival in the wild, the rugged mountain roads and dense green vegetation in the restricted area do not pose much of a threat to them.

"It feels very inconsistent." Ye Yang sighed as he walked, "I always feel that something is wrong."

When Lu Yiting heard Ye Yang's words, he pointed out very calmly: "This is said to be a wildlife sanctuary, but we have walked for a long time, and I have not seen any traces of wild animals."

After Lu Yiting reminded him, Ye Yang understood instantly and couldn't help teasing: "Yiting, why did your brain suddenly become so bright?"

"Go! I've always been smart!" Lu Yiting immediately snorted.

Ye Yang did not continue to challenge him, but changed the subject and said: "Since there are no traces of wild animals, this restricted area was very fishy from the beginning."

"Who is in charge of this restricted area?" Lu Yiting asked doubtfully.

"Luo Hansen, the leader of the special defense team in Areas B and C, has the rank of lieutenant colonel. He is a guy with a lot of real power." Ye Yang replied truthfully, "You are suspecting that this person deliberately set up this restricted area, and then in

Are there some unknown secrets hidden in this?"

"That's what I think." Lu Yiting nodded directly. "Those missing people probably accidentally learned the secrets of this forbidden area and were silenced."

"Your speculation is not unreasonable, but if there are secrets hidden here, then why would Luo Hansen allow some people to come in? Isn't it better to hide the secrets here by prohibiting anyone from entering?" Ye Yang frowned

He frowned in confusion.

"You are right." Lu Yiting sighed, "We can only go to the place where the pipeline is laid to see the situation first."

Following the location mentioned by Feng Chang, the two finally succeeded in arriving at the area where the pipeline was laid.

They only saw some brackets for fixing the pipes, and the brackets were still in an unfinished state. They were only halfway assembled and stopped working on them.

"The toolboxes are still left here." Ye Yang surveyed the scene. "It is obvious that they encountered some unexpected situations during the operation, and then immediately gave up the current operation in an emergency."

Listening to Ye Yang's words, Lu Yiting wandered around for a few times, and then found some suspicious marks on the trunks of trees near the location where the pipeline was laid.

"Yangyang, come here and take a look. Does this look like a sharp claw mark?" Lu Yiting reached out and touched the mark on the tree trunk and said.

When Ye Yang heard Lu Yiting's words, he immediately walked towards Lu Yiting, and sure enough he saw sharp marks on the trunk where the bark had been torn off.

"What kind of animal can create such traces?" Ye Yang immediately searched for relevant information in his mind, "Could this really be an incident of wild animals attacking humans?"

"Based on this claw mark, it should be a medium-sized animal, not a large animal." Lu Yiting said seriously, "Medium-sized animals can scare humans into panic and run away when they see them..."

"Don't think about it. If we continue the work of the missing persons before, then the owner of the claw mark who attacked the staff will definitely show up again." Ye Yang said with certainty as he turned around and walked to the tool box.

"Okay, yours is indeed the most direct way." Lu Yiting shrugged, and then followed Ye Yang to start assembling brackets for the pipes that carry the water source.

The two were busy for a while, and then Lu Yiting heard a suspicious sound.

He immediately made a warning gesture to Ye Yang. When Ye Yang saw Lu Yiting's gesture, he immediately entered a war-ready state of alert.

Hearing a fast-moving sound rushing toward them, Lu Yiting drew out his paratrooper knife and stared intently in the direction of the source of the sound.

Although Ye Yang didn't hear it clearly, his instinctive body reaction also reminded him that danger was approaching.

At this tense moment, Lu Yiting saw a black shadow quickly running past on a tree in front of him. Even with his excellent eyesight, he could not clearly see the true form of the black shadow.

"It's a tree-climbing thing." Lu Yiting reminded in a low voice, "It moves very fast, be careful not to be attacked by a sneak attack."

Ye Yang heard Lu Yiting's reminder and tightened his grip on the paratrooper knife in his hand.

Lu Yiting's reaction ability has always been better than that of Ye Yang, so when the black shadow quickly attacked, Lu Yiting reacted one step faster than Ye Yang and immediately reached out to push Ye Yang away.

Ye Yang was pushed aside by Lu Yiting. Before he could react, he saw a medium-sized beast leaping down from under a tree and pounced directly towards Lu Yiting.

"Yiting!" Ye Yang immediately shouted nervously.

At this time, Lu Yiting had no time to respond to Ye Yang. He quickly raised the paratrooper knife in his hand to block the beast's attack head on.

After the sharp claws of this beast collided with the blade in Lu Yiting's hand, it made a harsh sound like metal collision.

This sound made Lu Yiting and Ye Yang startle unexpectedly.

This medium-sized beast obviously did not expect that Lu Yiting could resist such a rapid attack, so it immediately jumped to another tree after landing, and quickly climbed to the top of the big tree.

When Lu Yiting saw that the tree trunk had indeed left sharp claw marks, he said with certainty: "This is the thing that attacked the pipe-laying workers! It seems to be a cat?!"

"It's not a cat! A cat can't be that big. If I'm right, it should be the national second-level protected animal lynx!" Ye Yang immediately added, "Although this kind of large cat has ferocious habits,

They generally don’t take the initiative to attack us humans!”

"The claws seem to have been strengthened, and they are actually comparable to the blade of our paratrooper knife." Lu Yiting frowned and continued to stare at the tree, "Such a target who is good at climbing trees is very disadvantageous to us."

"A mutated lynx?" Ye Yang immediately wondered, "This kind of attack power is indeed a bit beyond normal, especially the speed of movement and sharp claws."

"I can't rule out this possibility. I did smell a putrid smell on its body. However, the exposure time was too short, so I can't confirm that it is a mutant." Lu Yiting said seriously, "Anyway, be careful and don't do it.

Caught in its claws."

"If this mutant attacked those staff, then the matter would be even more unexplainable!" Ye Yang did not forget to analyze the whole thing in his mind at this time, "Normally, humans attacked by the mutant will definitely be infected.

Turned into zombies, but we found no trace of zombies here!"

"We'll talk about this later! Now we have to deal with this difficult guy first!" As soon as Lu Yiting finished saying this to Ye Yang, the lynx that was originally hidden on the top of the tree suddenly flew out from another tree.

Attack Ye Yang directly.

Lu Yiting immediately acted with his body before his brain, and rushed over to block Ye Yang, confronting the lynx head-on again.

However, this time the lynx's attack was different from the initial swooping. Not only did it use one of its front paws, but it also used its sharp fangs.

Therefore, Lu Yiting had time to block the lynx's fangs, but failed to block one of the sharp front claws, so his arm was instantly scratched with several bloody traces.

However, Lu Yiting immediately took advantage of this opportunity and quickly stretched out his other uninjured hand to grab the lynx's hair, then threw it out and slammed it into one of the tree trunks.

The lynx that was attacked immediately let out a scream, then quickly stood up again and jumped into the lush grass, hiding its figure.

Ye Yang was shocked to realize that the lynx was indeed moving very fast, almost elusive. This made it difficult for him, who was hearing impaired, to deal with the lynx, and he became in a very passive position.

Therefore, after seeing Lu Yiting getting injured trying to protect himself, Ye Yang's face was full of self-blame: "Damn... I seem to have dragged you down..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Lu Yiting spat angrily, "Of course I have to protect you! Tsk! That thing seems to understand human nature, and it feels like it was specially trained by someone!"

"I'll bandage your wound first!" Ye Yang pulled Lu Yiting's bleeding arm and prepared to tear off his sleeve and use it as a bandage.

However, Lu Yiting stopped him from doing this: "We don't have time to bandage it now. That thing has already set its sights on us, and it will continue to make raids."

"Are you sure now that the lynx is a mutant?" Ye Yang asked immediately.

"It's not like a mutant." Lu Yiting answered directly.

"If it's not a mutant, then how could this lynx take the initiative to attack us?!" Ye Yang frowned, "Is it true that this lynx was specially trained as a murder weapon as you said?

of?"

"I think you should think more carefully about who kept this lynx in this restricted area. It is related to nine groups of people, which is the key to a total of twenty-three lives." Lu Yiting was stung by the blood marks on his arm.

You have to grin.

Ye Yang continued with a solemn expression: "It seems that this matter is not that simple after all."
