Chapter 121: A Ground of Corpses

Undoubtedly, Daqi shao xiao held a very high status among this squad of soldiers.

After he gave the order, Sun Cheng could see that although the others were worried about the dangers in the woods, not a single one stood out to refute his command.

The soldier Huojinsi took an unknown beverage from his tactical pouch and gulped it down, then let out a burp; a strange smell, a mixture of ginger and carbonation, irritated those around him, causing them to dodge away one after another.

The black Sergeant Major Maike raised his heavy machine gun; it was clear he had a good relationship with that heavy machine gunner who loved to chew tobacco, and he gave him a slight smile before leaving.

The three of them quickly walked into the woods, but only a minute later, they all retreated with grim faces.

"Let's go..."

Daqi shao xiao ordered coldly, "Pick up the pace, get to the Yanjiu Zhongxin as soon as possible!"

Another black Warrior in the squad, Dilong, lacking any sense of the situation, approached him and asked, "Where are the people?"

Daqi shao xiao merely gave him a cold glance and walked toward the front of the squad without looking back.

Being rebuffed in front of everyone made Dilong's face look rather ugly, and his chest heaved rapidly.

It was the black Sergeant Major Maike who walked over to his side; perhaps unable to bear seeing someone of the same skin color looking so miserable, he answered Daqi shao xiao's question in a low voice: "We couldn't find Bonaide inside. We followed the tracks to a tree, and only found a pool of blood there..."

He paused before continuing, "And some internal organs and pieces of flesh..."

After speaking, he angrily took off his hat, swung it hard in his hand, and then consciously walked to the very back of the squad while carrying his machine gun.

Sun Cheng looked at the black Warrior Dilong with interest; in this person, he faintly saw the same utilitarianism and calculation as his own.

The only difference between the two was that this Dilong, whose true identity was unknown, had been faintly ostracized when he first joined the squad, lacking the ease with which he himself could remain hidden in the shadows.

However, to avoid provoking these soldiers, Sun Cheng quickly withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and quietly continued to lead the way for them.

Having lost another Warrior under his command, and not to mention catching the culprit, he hadn't even been able to see if the opponent was human or beast; Daqi shao xiao was undoubtedly frustrated and angry. While constantly urging the squad to speed up along the way, he himself remained diligent, occasionally holding his gun to patrol back and forth.

Half an hour later, after Sun Cheng and the others emerged from a stretch of mountain forest, a brightly lit building suddenly appeared in front of the flat grassland.

The terrain on Nublar Island was very complex, with rolling hills, tree-covered peaks, sprawling Canyons, and low grasslands, not to mention lakes and streams; the Yanjiu Zhongxin happened to be built on a flat grassland area.

"We're here, that is the Yanjiu Zhongxin..."

Sun Cheng pointed at the five-story building not far away with some excitement.

Finally, they had arrived safely!

Along the way, Revenge had vibrated again, but unfortunately, the young guard kept pacing and patrolling, making it difficult for him to secretly take out the Bluetooth headset to ask it about the situation. But it was likely that a danger was constantly accompanying them, and it was very likely that invisible unit.

Daqi shao xiao raised his hand in a fist to signal, and the squad stopped in tacit understanding.

He raised the binoculars in his hand and observed the Yanjiu Zhongxin carefully for a long while, as if scrutinizing whether it was safe there.

After a good while, he finally gave new instructions, "Advance, reach the Yanjiu Zhongxin as soon as possible..."

"Roar..."

The soldier Halun let out an excited roar upon hearing this.

The other soldiers didn't perform much better than him, with joy flashing on every one of their faces.

Don't look at the fact that it was only four or five kilometers from where Sun Cheng met them to the Yanjiu Zhongxin; the terrain on the island was very complex. Along the way, they climbed over several small peaks and hills, and also went straight through two forests, braving the heavy rain for more than an hour before arriving here.

After being drenched by the downpour for so long, even an iron body couldn't take it. Now, not only was Sun Cheng's face pale, but most of the others were also experiencing a rapid decline in their condition due to the massive loss of body heat. If they couldn't find a place to rest, even if nothing else was eyeing them, their bodies would collapse.

Therefore, after receiving Daqi shao xiao's order, everyone suddenly had energy, and they all quickened their pace and ran toward the Yanjiu Zhongxin, covering the few hundred meters in just two or three minutes.

"The Yanjiu Zhongxin is the building with the most complete facilities on the island; offices, security, and dining are all here..."

Finally arriving at the Yanjiu Zhongxin, just as he stepped onto the steps and before entering the main building, Sun Cheng said happily.

After speaking, he couldn't wait to take off the curtain that had been wrapped around his body; because it had absorbed too much rainwater, it was now wet and heavy.

But then he thought, if it hadn't helped him block the rain along the way, given his physical fitness, he would definitely have collapsed by now, not to mention that having it allowed him to cover up some of his small movements.

So, after wringing it out, Sun Cheng still draped the curtain over himself; unseemly as it was, it was still somewhat useful.

Hearing him mention that there was food here, everyone swallowed in unison.

It is not advisable to eat immediately after exercise, but that depends on the situation.

After running several kilometers in the heavy rain, the body not only lost too much heat but also consumed energy. And for any animal, there is no more effective way to replenish energy and restore condition than eating.

Sun Cheng also touched his stomach; although he had just had dinner three hours ago, he could indeed feel a burning sensation in his stomach now, clearly, the exercise had accelerated the digestion of food.

"Wait..."

The Indian-descendant Warrior Bili was the first to enter the Yanjiu Zhongxin. Just after crossing the door into the first-floor lobby, he clearly discovered something immediately. He not only raised his weapon into an offensive posture but also gave the others behind him a gesture to pause and be on alert.

"What's wrong?" Daqi shao xiao carefully approached and asked him.

Bili didn't speak, but pointed to a gray-brown puddle on the ground in front. Daqi shao xiao's expression changed slightly; with his rich experience, he naturally saw at a glance that this was blood.

After giving Bili a gesture to provide cover, he walked over while staying alert, carefully squatted down, reached out and touched a bit of the bloodstain, first felt it, and then raised it to his nose to smell, "It's human blood, left not long ago, no more than an hour!"

Seeing only bloodstains but no corpses, Daqi shao xiao's heart stirred. Looking again, two long dragging marks extended from this pool of blood, with blood dripping all the way; it looked like the corpse had been dragged into the interior of the Yanjiu Zhongxin.

"Situation, prepare for combat!"

After standing up, Daqi shao xiao gave the order coldly, with a cold light flashing on his face.

It had only been a few hours since they parachuted onto Nublar Island, and he had already lost three soldiers. This made him, who had always been proud of his zero-casualty combat record over the years, furious.

Not to mention how many monsters were still on the island, it was an undeniable fact that his men had died on the island. Now, here at the Yanjiu Zhongxin, which he thought was safe, he had actually seen blood again. The furious Daqi shao xiao secretly swore that he would make those damn beasts pay the price!

"Bili, Halun, come with me to take a look... Maike, Bulian, provide fire cover... everyone stay alert..."

After quickly giving the orders, Daqi shao xiao took several Stun Grenades from the marching pack on his back and hung them in an easily accessible position on his waist. After doing so, he took the lead and tracked along the bloodstains into the interior of the Yanjiu Zhongxin.

Sun Cheng followed the squad silently. In the less than one minute since the group entered the Research Center, the Revenge in his arms had vibrated three or four times in succession; it seemed there was something important to report to him.

Just as he was thinking about finding an opportunity to ask it clearly, suddenly, Sun Cheng heard a few low curses from the front. Curious, he hurriedly moved toward Daqi shao xiao and the others, who had already stopped moving. Following their line of sight to look ahead, even though he was accustomed to life and death, he immediately felt his stomach churning and hurriedly turned his head away, not daring to look again.

"Beasts..."

The black Sergeant Major Maike took off his military cap, threw it on the ground, and kicked it hard against the nearby wall.

You ask why?

It turned out that in a larger office on the first floor of the Yanjiu Zhongxin, a pile of corpses was rendering the place like hell at this moment. Among them, three corpses were nailed to the wall, two were lying in the corner, and more than a dozen others had clearly been dragged from various places and were now stacked in the open space created by pushing aside the desks and chairs in the office.

These dead bodies all had one thing in common: their heads had been cut off, and even their skin had been peeled off; the methods were extremely cruel!
