Chapter 122: Iron and Blood Strike

"A battle once took place here..."

Bili searched carefully for a while inside the office, which was filled with a foul, fishy stench, his palm already stuffed with shell casings. "NATO standard 5.56mm caliber rifle rounds..."

Daqi shao xiao picked up a shell casing from Bili's palm, lowered his head to take a look, and recognized its specifications.

"There is something strange here!" Bili continued.

Daqi shao xiao looked up at him. "Any other discoveries?"

"It's very strange!"

Bili walked to a spot in the office and pointed at several rows of bullet holes on the wall: "The bullet holes left by these shots are very scattered; they look more like they were left by aimless firing..."

"Hmm?"

"Here... here... and here are all the same. A battle once took place here, but these people acted as if they had lost their minds, firing wildly everywhere!"

He then walked over to the three corpses pinned to the wall, and without showing any disgust, drew his Military Knife and pointed at the wounds. "The wounds are all in the heart, and it looks like they were pierced directly by some cold weapon, resulting in death on the spot..."

Daqi shao xiao vaguely grasped the meaning of his words, but there were still parts he didn't quite understand, so he simply asked directly: "What do you mean?"

"Besides the dinosaurs, there are some more dangerous things on the island. They might not eat us directly like the dinosaurs, but I'm afraid they want our lives just the same..."

Bili replied with a firm tone, waving the Military Knife in his hand through the air a few times with an eager expression.

The corpses in the office were soon counted; there were twenty-three in total, all adult male bodies. However, because they had been decapitated and skinned, even Sun Cheng, who had a decent memory, could not distinguish how many of them were security personnel on the island and how many belonged to the staff of International Genetic Technologies.

Plus, not knowing if there was still danger within the Yanjiu Zhongxin, Daqi shao xiao and his team did not stay long in the office full of corpses. After quickly locking the doors and windows, they retreated one by one.

"Second floor search complete, confirmed that no one was found!"

"Third floor confirmed, no one..."

"Fourth floor windows are not broken, all rooms have been checked, nothing!"

"Fifth floor, no one..."

After spending more than ten minutes carefully checking from the first floor to the fifth floor and finding no survivors or suspicious traces, Daqi shao xiao and his team returned to the first floor.

"Is that all the people on the island?"

Daqi shao xiao toyed with a broken M16, his face as grim as iron.

This M16 was found somewhere on the first floor of the Yanjiu Zhongxin. With his experience, it was not hard to see that it had been cut directly by someone using some kind of sharp weapon while resisting with force.

"Impossible, the security personnel left on the island alone number no less than twenty..."

Sun Cheng shook his head, rejecting his words, his face becoming increasingly agitated.

Ever since entering the Yanjiu Zhongxin, the Revenge in his arms had not stopped vibrating. In just half an hour, it had probably alerted him more than twenty times, moving at a frequency of almost once per minute. Clearly, it had discovered something very tricky, but Sun Cheng was always around people and could not find a moment to ask it about it.

However, Daqi shao xiao and his team did not think much of his abnormal behavior. Having just witnessed a living hell, even these battle-hardened veterans had yet to calm their emotions, let alone a Normal Mode person in their eyes.

"Daqi, let everyone go get something to eat first!"

The black Warrior Dilong walked out of an office with his gun raised. He had not made any attempt to hide his actions just now, so everyone saw him rummaging through documents in the office; it seemed he had developed an interest in the cloning, genetics, and gene-editing technologies of International Genetic Technologies.

Daqi shao xiao thought for a moment before slowly nodding. "Huojinsi, Halun, you two go to the kitchen and bring some food over, and bring two bottles of wine while you're at it! Bin, you try to see if you can contact the Base."

While patrolling the various floors of the Yanjiu Zhongxin earlier, they had already determined where the kitchen was, and it was indeed as Sun Cheng had described: not only was there a large amount of frozen fresh food stored in the freezers, but there was also plenty of ready-made cooked food.

"Understood, Major!"

Halun and Huojinsi responded, and soon took their weapons and headed toward the kitchen, preparing to fetch some food.

As for the communications soldier, Bin, after receiving his order, he took out the satellite communication equipment and tried to contact the outside world.

"Dilong, we need to have a good talk!"

Daqi shao xiao glanced at Sun Cheng, who was not far away; the meaning could not have been clearer.

He had been worrying about how to temporarily separate from this squad of soldiers, so seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, and the agitation on his face vanished instantly. "I'm going to the restroom!"

After saying this, Sun Cheng turned and walked toward the nearby restroom.

Entering the restroom and confirming that no one was following him, Sun Cheng hurriedly pushed open a small stall and sat down on the toilet. He took the Revenge from his neck and asked impatiently: "What's the situation? It's been vibrating non-stop since just now..."

"In addition to the cloaked unit locked on earlier, after entering this building, I once again captured another unit using 'Optical Camouflage', and it is currently lurking in this building, moving toward the first floor. Also, I just received a communication from Defender; it has obtained the things you ordered!"

Defender had taken the initiative to contact Revenge, and it had even obtained the things he wanted, which was indeed good news for Sun Cheng.

However, the excitement that had just risen vanished the moment Sun Cheng learned from Revenge that there was another invisible person!

"There's another invisible person!"

His heart sank. After encountering an invisible person using Optical Camouflage for the first time at the hills, their squad had only lost one person, and with Revenge confirming it could counter-kill the target, Sun Cheng hadn't been very wary of these invisible people at the time.

But according to the analysis of the Native American Warrior Bili just now, the tragedy that occurred in the Yanjiu Zhongxin was very likely the work of these invisible people.

Thinking of the images of the brutally decapitated and skinned corpses that he couldn't get out of his mind, Sun Cheng felt a heavy, uncomfortable tightness in his chest, and he already had the thought of exterminating them.

"Where is Defender now? Can you contact it?"

"It is currently staying in the underground control center copying data. Also, according to the data it just fed back, there are several survivors hiding below, including Ada Wong. Do you need me to summon it over?"

"The basement?"

Sun Cheng realized. Having seen dozens of brutally treated corpses in the office just now, he had truly thought that everyone else in the Yanjiu Zhongxin had escaped, so although he knew there were two more levels underground, he hadn't really thought about it.

He hadn't expected that people were actually hiding in the basement.

Just as he was considering whether to summon Defender to protect him in secret, suddenly, the Revenge lying on his lap writhed all over, and it took the initiative to transform back into its Decepticon form and fly up, fiercely firing a thin alloy blowpipe at a spot above the stall.

Sun Cheng was stunned. Before he could react, he subconsciously looked up at the ceiling and was immediately so frightened that his legs went weak and he nearly cried out.

"Zzzzt!"

I saw that above the stall, accompanied by a strange electromagnetic fluctuation, a ferocious, tall, and sturdy humanoid monster that had appeared out of thin air fell down immediately.
