Steel steam and flame

The limousine immediately stopped on the side of the road, the door opened, and two people jumped out from the passenger seat and the back seat, both wearing masks. They separated one to the left and one to the right, chasing an enemy respectively. The speed was much faster than other members who suddenly appeared on the street, and there were only afterimages along the way.

"Inform Anome and Knowlton, inform them of the location, and ask them to gather here as soon as possible. In addition, the information is sent to Aiqi at the same time. His head should be almost filled with all kinds of information. The current news can make him happy again. Of course, don’t forget to ask Aichiga to send some support. He contacted famous mercenaries and bounty hunters, and those people only listen to his employer.”

After saying that, the man who stayed in the limo pressed the communicator in his hand. The electronic noise disappeared, and an awe-inspiring voice came: "Sir Solakal, the distance between us and you is only more than a thousand meters, two minutes." Arriving later. The 'Hounds' are all fine and can be awakened at any time."

"Okay." The man Thorakal responded and cut off the contact. Unfolding the folded map in his hand, he thought for a moment, then picked up the thick stack of photos next to his seat and flipped through it quickly. It was a photo of a pile of corpses, taken last night when follow-up support went to the town to clean up the scene. In addition to some common buildings, there were large vineyards in the background.

Almost every corpse was shot in the head. Standard 15mm revolver bullets were so powerful that they could make dents in the bulletproof plates and almost penetrate them. The density and strength of the skull are no different from those of bricks in front of it, and they will all break into pieces.

"Use this as the center point, away from the city, to expand a 180-degree fan-shaped range, radiating to a distance of three thousand meters." Soraka roughly drew an area with a pen, "You can figure out the specific location yourself, and notify us as soon as possible. In the hands of others, let them move closer to the nearest place to form an encirclement. Our position is said to be the center point, and we are pushing the 'hound' towards the edge."

There were the sounds of various things breaking in the front, and the "bang bang" sound of gunfire was rare, like a single blast. What's more, it's the distorted "click-click" sound of adding a muffler, which is not strong but cannot be ignored by the ears.

Soraka was leaning on the back seat, staring at the short street through the front window. The sounds on the side of the street disappeared, and soon a person was carried out. One hand was obviously broken, and it was hanging vertically. There was not much blood dripping from it. Several anesthetic needles can also be seen on his clothes. In less than ten seconds, the noise on the other side of the street stopped abruptly. Like a symmetrical painting, another person was also carried out of the building.

"Sir, according to the portrait, it is indeed two of them." An adjutant reported, "Three members were lost, and two others were shot, but they were not fatally injured."

"Do you need to wake them up immediately?" Someone took out a steel cable rope and tied the two people up. Several other lengthened and heightened limousines also gathered here from various streets, and they lined up behind the limousine cars. One row, neatly.

"Pay attention to the impact and don't cause unnecessary burdens to the families here." After Solakar finished speaking, the people beside the limo immediately understood and carried the person into the extended limo at the rear. As the first limo started to drive, within half a minute, there were only a few masked members left to deal with follow-up questions and traces.

In the limo, No. 4 and No. 5 were injected with the medicine and opened their eyes after a few seconds. He struggled at first, but when he felt the alloy steel cables being tied tightly all over his body, he immediately saved his strength. The communication was connected when the two woke up.

"Hello, gentlemen. I am one of the targets of your mission. There are two choices, I don't know which one you will choose."

"The results of both choices are the same, right? I'm not a newcomer." It was No. 4 who spoke first, and took a deep breath after finishing speaking.

"Where is the other gentleman? Do you want to say the same thing?" Without paying attention, the voice in the microphone continued, the limo also drove along, and the surrounding buildings kept changing.

"Then silence represents acquiescence."

After a breath or two, Soraka cut off contact after hearing the distorted gunfire in the communication: "How is the search? The other party received the communication before the operation and immediately responded physically. That was definitely aware of it. A manifestation of being surrounded. The snipers were hundreds of meters away from the two of them, but they were both professionals who were good at concealment and sniping. Only the moment of shooting would the two of them notice something abnormal. But the time of their action was completely there.' moments' before many."

"Based on the investigation results of the town, whether it is Aiqi or Anomei, the Ciccia Mandeville they say is not a weak person who will become a commodity. Could it be that she went to the Nature Association to receive treatment and study Changes later?”

Soraka, who was talking to himself, looked through the pile of photos again. During this period, he got the information that Anome and Knowlton were approaching here, and issued an order: "Once they are found, everyone only needs to drive them away. Go to a place with fewer personnel, that is, the park under construction in the search area. All frontal battles are handed over to personnel armed with composite ceramic bulletproof plates. With the enemy's proficiency in firearms, there is no full-body protection. As long as the opponent has enough ammunition, No matter how much you go, it will only make it more difficult to dispose of the corpse."

At the same time, he pressed the communicator in his hand again: "Get ready, only two 'hounds' will be released first. The release of the remaining five will only be allowed after receiving my follow-up order!" Before the words from the other side came through, the communication started. is cut off. The correspondent on the side also connected simultaneously.

"Sir, the search team found two other enemies. After a brief battle, one died and the other escaped, but was followed steadily."

"Location and direction of escape!" Thorakkal spread out the map, and the place name and direction were immediately reflected on the map. He tapped the map with his hand and spoke the name of a store on the map very quickly. But when the correspondent's throat started to move, he immediately stopped him and said, "Go back! There are people with abnormal perception ranges among the enemies, and the movements of our siege are under their control."

"How long will it take for the mutant hounds and temperature-sensing members to arrive? I need a specific time!"

"Synchronically notify Anome and Knowlton to speed up! Encircle them according to the mirror area of ​​the current encirclement." The limo turned simultaneously, and the limo behind it looked like a long snake. After receiving the order, it immediately dispersed at the intersection ahead.

Soraka looked in the rearview mirror as he spoke, thinking about something. He wanted to speak, but his head twisted without warning, half a head away from its original position. The glass on the front window of the vehicle shattered simultaneously, and splashes hit him in the face.

There was only a "bang" sound, and a bullet penetrated the limo and made a dent in the street ground. And the sharp air it brought scraped off half of Soraka's ear. The advancing limo immediately lost power, and there were many broken parts of the vehicle on the road.

Thorakal directly knocked the car door away, pulling out a snake-shaped afterimage. The next moment, distorted gunshots rang out, and the top of a six-story building on the other side of the road was baptized, and in the blink of an eye it was filled with large bullet holes.

"No need to pursue!"

"Aiqi! The Black Dragon training ground or the forces you want to investigate appeared and broke half of my ear! Let those mercenaries and bounty hunters come over quickly! Tell them that this bounty is not so easy to earn!" Thorakal expanded his perception, immediately got into an extended limo, and shouted into the communicator. Several members whose bodies were covered with composite ceramic bulletproof plates came over to surround him.

"Anome and Knowlton will be here soon. These people will not pose a threat to you in a short time." Aiqi's voice did not have any emotion. "Pay attention to the impact of the action. I have received a call from the Defense Force. Announcement, they have been dispatched, and the superiors have also given them orders, and they will conduct an indiscriminate attack later. I hope you and your people are better equipped with defense force clothes!"

The limousine now returned to the street where the store observed by No. 4 and No. 5 was located. Pedestrians had been evacuated, and a group of members wearing the uniforms of the National Defense Forces or the security department had set up roadblocks.

The correspondent who was transferred to another limo came over at this time: "Sir, Sir Anomi, please pay attention to the underground waterway and the nearby underground parking lot! There are two mutant wolves down there that have lost their signal."

"Release a 'Hound into the underground waterway!'" The correspondent's voice fell, and Thorakal had issued a notice. Immediately, an inexplicable aura awakened a hundred meters away. Soraka took a look and took a deep breath. "Ask others to surround the nearby underground parking lots. Some of the enemies can also feel this kind of thing."

,,,,,,

"The second group, led by No. 2 and No. 6, the direction you chose is towards the central circle of the city. I wish you good luck!" The captain said to the people in front of him. Several newcomers jumped into the underground waterway first and could not advance more than a few meters. , but they all fell back. At the same time, there were several members of the first group who emerged with him.

"It was discovered." No. 3 and No. 7 of the first group who came out finally said, "It seems that there are some..."

The words were interrupted by the captain, and his expression became extremely ugly. Just subconsciously, the captain glanced at No. 10, only to find that she had already looked in the direction he wanted to look one step ahead of her, even though she was surrounded by walls and ceilings that blocked her.

"Captain?" No. 7 took a deep breath and asked after noticing the instant change in the captain's expression.

"It seems... there's a 'hound' aura." The captain thought for a moment, then exhaled to release the pressure. But the air had solidified, and no one picked up his words.

"What is a hound? Is it the name of a mutated wolf?" After a short period of silence, some newcomers couldn't bear the suffocating atmosphere.

"A precious commodity from the Saint Dorag Empire. The people there call it experimental subjects. However, 'hound' is just a name for the secondary experimental subjects."

"I don't know about hounds. You should have heard of the name of the Saint Dorag Empire's 'Zero', right? The person who completely suppressed the 'monsters' in the alliance. He is an experimental subject, codenamed 'Zero'. Times The first-class experimental body is its control, that is, the defective products made according to it. Moreover, I heard that these defective products have also been improved before they can be regarded as 'hounds'."

"As for how to improve it, I think those of you who have been exposed to the dark world to some extent will probably not forget the price of a small bottle of 'green blood' on the black market nearly two years ago, which was close to billions. It relies on this kind of thing as an accelerator. I heard it was diluted many, many times.”

"Is that thing in the dark forest?" A newcomer knew something. "I heard it is an extinct item, very few."

The captain nodded: "Of course it will become extinct. It was originally a person's blood, and it would have leaked out..." The captain sighed, "Although the information has been blocked, there are still many traces to follow. I don't know how many of you know. More than two years ago, there was a person named 'Cassia Kiraandi' in the Saint Dorag Empire, and the blood came from him."

"Cassia Kiraandi?"

"Forget it if you don't know. There's no point in discussing this anymore." The captain forced out a smile, "Let's set up a defense circle here with the nearest vehicles. Although we have been sentenced to death, we can also see the strength of the 'Hound' How terrifying it is, before death."

At the same time, Cassia, who was sitting next to the analysis machine, also felt trouble. But after listening to the captain's words, another idea appeared.

"Blood? The dragon-like ratio of the test subject's blood seems to be very high. Judging from the perception, only one was released. Can it be used as a substitute for dragon blood?"

,,,,,,

"Mr. Milius." Hillary opened her mouth and simultaneously adjusted the steam control valve to the maximum.

"I feel it. A large number of strange people have gathered in that place, and their target is in an underground parking lot. But who could it be? Among the large number of people gathered around, or the dozen or so people in the parking lot?"

"I think the right choice is to disable the activated experimental body first. It seems that the connections and transactions between some families and tribes in the Alliance and the Empire are closer than we thought. I thought this kind of thing would only be limited in the Empire. Flow among several families."

"This is the tenacious adaptability under the pressure of the changing times. Everything can be distorted, Miss Hilary. In the face of interests, nothing can be broken."

"Same as your original decision, Mr. Milius?"

"Me?" Milius thought for a while, "I was forced. If possible, the position of the Pope of the Holy See also has a huge attraction for me. It is the ultimate collection of rights and power. It's just... "
