Chapter 78: Shadow in the Clouds
Falcon Base.
Because Black Hawk Company issued a ban.
Forbidden Zone exploration closed for a week.
Resulting in a large number of personnel being stuck at the base these two days.
To prevent conflicts erupting at the base due to residents being unable to enter the Forbidden Zone for exploration.
Black Hawk Company set up a temporary arena in the center of the base.
Every day, brave individuals enter the arena without fear, battling various mutated beasts for high rewards.
In addition, the young ladies at the base.
Have been doing extremely well in business the past two days.
The most popular one barely got out of bed yesterday.
Heard that they were taken to the emergency room in the middle of the night.
Black Hawk Company did their best to calm everyone down.
But the whole base still felt tense, as if it could explode at any moment.
And this was only the second day.
It was noon that day.
A stranger arrived at the base.
The outsider wore a dark red long coat with a raised collar, and black leather pants underneath.
Seventeen throwing knives were strapped to the belt, the blades of which were dark blue and clearly poisoned.
On the other side hung a big gun with a red bird pattern on the handle.
The man wore a white mask with no patterns and no carved features.
There were only holes for the nose and eyes.
So he could breathe and see.
He walked towards a row of huts made of wood.
Two shiny-haired guard dogs were lying in front of the house.
The two big dogs growled when they saw a stranger approaching and smelled an unfamiliar scent.
The man stopped.
He reached down to his waist.
Then two beams of blue light flashed.
Piercing into the eye of a big dog separately.
The two vicious dogs foamed at the mouth and died within three seconds.
Suddenly, someone in the courtyard shouted, "You killed the watchdog who guarded my house, are you planning to stay and be my guard dog?"
Another flying knife was the reply.
It struck straight into the middle of the forehead.
The person who had spoken widened his eyes.
He seemed to be in disbelief.
The masked figure killed himself like that.
In the room, there were many tables arranged.
It was actually a restaurant in the base.
Saw the boss suddenly pass away.
The customers quickly scattered in all directions.
Even the waiter forgot to ask them to pay.
A man in a dark red coat walked over to a clean table and sat down.
"One lunch, please."
"A bottle of clean water."
Then he took out a box and placed it on the table.
And he waved at the waiter.
The waiter walked over trembling, afraid to ask for his ‘meal money’.
The man pushed it towards him, saying, "Hurry up, I’m hungry."
The waiter then took the box and opened it, revealing some medicine.
At this moment.
The currency that was used before had become worthless.
There are many different types of hard currency now.
Medicine is one of them.
Especially anti-inflammatory medicine.
Inside, there were only three, but it was enough to pay for the meal.
Putting away the medicine, the companion looked at the boss lying dead on the ground.
The look of surprise on the face slowly faded away.
It was replaced by an inexplicable joy.
He immediately called over two hobos, gave them a steamed bun, and asked them to clean up the bodies of the boss and two dogs.
The two hobos were quick and nimble.
It didn’t take long.
The bodies were disposed of somewhere.
The whole process.
No one has come to ask.
Even the Black Hawk Company, which maintains order on the surface, didn’t pay attention.
This is the surface.
Order is in fists, truth is within range.
After the dishes are served.
The long windbreaker caught the buddy’s hand.
"Recently, have you had any outsiders here?"
The buddy immediately nodded, "Yes."
"Two days ago, some people who were said to be from the underground city came."
"They killed someone at the base."
"Black Hawk Company dares not make a sound."
"Acting all high and mighty."
Chang Fengyi asked again, "Are those people still in the base?"
The assistant shook his head, "Only the elderly are in the base, the young ones have left for the forbidden zone."
"Because of this, Black Hawk Company has issued a ban, no exploration this week."
"For a whole week, not allowing anyone to do anything."
Chang Fengyi finally let go, giving him an anti-inflammatory drug, "Mind your words."
The assistant, recalling the boss’s body, quickly said, "What did you say, sir, I don’t understand."
Long Windrobe nodded happily and started eating.
Had lunch.
He then left the base.
Nobody knew where he went.
……
Ghost Hair City.
Second Grade Group B.
In the command center,
Excited student acting as staff shouted.
"Quickly, Zhou Feng, go attack from the middle route and try to hold back ‘Gudiao’, don’t let it escape."
"Wang Lei, don’t move, just stay hidden in that position, just in case."
"Xia Yun, don’t just watch, you need to support Zhou Feng and disable that creature’s wings."
A boy shook his head and said, "The many giant beasts in this forbidden land are mostly of the ‘Feather Insect’ type, really annoying."
"One careless move, and the cooked duck could fly away."
"Everyone, we need to put in more effort!"
"Out of the four teams, we are currently trailing behind."
"Not to mention the A-level, even those two first-grade teams are ranked ahead of us."
"Yes, Zhou Feng, you all need to work hard."
"We’re both in second grade now."
"If those little brats ride on our heads, where can we put our old faces?"
In the ruins of a residential area, the buildings here are covered with countless vines, and thick clumps of black hair, like sea grass, are tangled around the buildings, street lamps, and vehicles.
A large number of bones are tangled in those black long hair, when the hair is blown by the wind, the bones inside move like puppet shows and make various movements.
Bang!
With a loud noise, a black shadow crashed into the skyscraper, shattering the skyscraper to pieces.
Amidst the falling rocks, a bird-like creature struggled to get up.
This bird has reddish-brown feathers, extraordinarily large wings, and most peculiarly, a long horn on its head.
Now.
The giant bird, known as ‘Gudiao’, had one wing with drooping and tattered feathers, seemingly unable to function as before.
A part of its horn broke, and crimson blood flowed out.
It staggered to its feet and let out a cry like a baby.
Flames burst out from its body and it was hit by missiles, exploding as Gudiao’s feathers scattered, burning and falling.
It cried out in pain as it, with only one wing left, fled in a sorry state.
"It’s now."
"Wang Lei, get rid of it!"
In the command center, a few staff members excitedly shouted.
Wang Lei, a second-year student who had been lying in ambush nearby, immediately controlled the mecha and lunged out, aiming to deliver a fatal blow to Gudiao.
But at that moment.
A deep roar sounded in the sky, as if a fighter jet passed overhead.
In the command center, the staff were all amazed.
On the large screen.
They saw in the sky above the city.
A dark shadow hidden behind the clouds rolled by.
The clouds churned.
Something hung down from the clouds.
It turned out to be black threads.
And at the end of those black lines, there were figures hanging!
