Chapter 2 The Ogre
"You know, there will be an ogre coming to our base tonight. I heard that the ogre tonight evolved from the monsters on the sea. Do you think it's scary?"
"Do you have a problem? You would also say that sea monsters, no matter how they evolve, will never be stupid enough to come to the mainland and eat us humans, who are only a handful to them.
How big is the sea, and how much delicious food is there? For our sake, we have not hesitated to evolve, and we have traveled far and wide to eat people? Do you think it’s because of your taste or mine? I’m afraid the person spreading the rumor has some serious illness, and he’s told you about it
, don’t play with that group of people.”
The former glanced at the latter, then looked at his own body, which had not had a bath for a year due to lack of water, and couldn't help but nodded: "What you said makes sense."
"Okay, okay, it's getting dark, I should go back to bed, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, I have to go back and hide quickly, otherwise the ogre will come and eat me, bye."
The two of them left in front of Mingli and Wuren.
Looking at the bright sun at noon, Wu Ren was a little puzzled. He scratched his head and asked: "The people in the mental hospital are so powerful? Do they even know the news about Base 47?"
"They are just sick, not stupid." Ming Li pointed to the TV in the middle of the cafeteria and said.
Mingli reached out and took the list handed over by Wu Ren, and checked the people who had been investigated by Wu Ren one by one: "Back to the topic, have you found any unusual people?"
"No." Wu Ren shook his head. Everyone in this place was abnormal. In fact, he couldn't tell the real abnormal people at all.
All Wu Ren can do is check the list in the hospital to see if there is anyone who is not on the list.
He considered himself not a very observant person, so he placed all his hopes on the former captain in front of him.
After Mingli left the Black Gold Army, Wuren resolutely followed Mingli in order to complete his novel.
So they lived a life of hunger and satiety without any pleasure at all, and became bounty hunters out of necessity.
Today is their one-year anniversary as bounty hunters, so to celebrate, the two of them took on the most difficult (and gold-rich) mission in Base 47: an unknown ogre that brutally killed 6 people in three years (imitation is not ruled out)
Crime), offering a reward of 200,000 general coins.
This ogre would destroy surveillance within a kilometer radius three months in advance before committing a crime. As time went by, the spacing between his attacks became tighter and tighter. It took a year before he killed the first person.
The interval between the second and third victims was only half a year, and the next three victims were all committed in the first half of the year.
Apart from this information, the police department did not provide any clues.
"According to the ogre's mentality, he shouldn't do anything to these patients." Ming Li touched his newly sprouted beard and was puzzled.
"I don't think it should be the case. The first to third victims are all women, and the fourth to sixth are young people who are getting stronger and stronger. Their psychological thresholds are getting harder and harder to meet. How could they choose a hospital?"
What about the people here?" Wu Ren's mind suddenly twitched: "Is there a master here? Or someone who is as good as him?"
Ming Li shook his head. He had seen the list and there was no such person as Wu Ren imagined.
But Wuren's thoughts made Mingli expand his imagination, and he said: "Is there a possibility that he has already begun to enjoy it?"
"Is it possible..." After working with Ming Li for a year, the two of them had similar views on many things. Wu Ren understood Ming Li's thoughts in an instant.
"He is deliberately setting a trap. The target is not the people here, but the bounty hunters who come here, like you and me."
Mingli quickly took out his communicator and dialed the police station, but the call kept getting busy.
"This order was definitely scammed. A wave of bounty hunters must have died before us, and the police concealed this information."
Mingli hung up the communicator, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
According to the analysis of the timing of the ogres' actions, there was an obvious blank period one month before they took the order. Now it seems that the ogres are more dangerous than imagined.
"Boss, do we still have to vote?" Wu Ren pursed his lips, a little indignantly.
No matter which base they are in, there are always some deceptive tasks. During this year, they have stepped into five of these deceptions out of ten times.
The most pitiful one was that they couldn't even make up for the loss of guns and ammunition, so that on the next mission, the two of them had to fight the gangsters with bare hands.
"Check your pocket, do you have any money?"
"Just do it! I came out of the Black Gold Army, how can I still be afraid of this ogre?" Within three seconds of Wu Ren's high morale, his stomach began to protest and growl: "How about we go to the cafeteria to have a meal?
First?"
As night gradually fell and there was still a touch of orange on the horizon, the scorching temperature began to drop rapidly. The sky turned completely dark, and the temperature in the area shrouded in shadow soon became minus degrees Celsius.
Since mankind's nuclear war destroyed most of the earth, the earth's climate has become extremely strange and chaotic.
In some areas, the temperature will rise instead of falling after nightfall; in some areas, the four seasons can rotate five or six times in a day...
But now human beings have adapted. After all, the base will not be built in a particularly strange place. Humans can stand it, but mechanical equipment cannot.
The cold wind was biting, and behind Mingli and the others, the person who had been waiting for a long time appeared silently from the shadows.
Following the whistling of the wind, he slashed the dagger in his hand forward, and the attack seemed to blend into the environment.
If Mingli and the two had not been on the battlefield for a long time and noticed a faint murderous aura coming with the wind, they might have died without a single encounter.
Rolling forward on the ground for two weeks, Wu Ren patted the dust on his body and asked with fear: "Are you the wanted ogre?"
The figure of the ogre is unexpectedly thin, but very flexible. When it misses a hit, it immediately retreats to a safe area for fighting.
"Takahashi Ken, my name." The ogre grinned, and his needle-sharp teeth shone coldly under the moonlight.
When the ogre raised his hand, Mingli and the two saw clearly the 'dagger' in his hand. It was actually the tail stinger of the sea monster.
"There's something weird!" Thinking of the conversation between the two people in the mental hospital, the two of them couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
Could it be that the laboratory at Base 30 really made the taboo project synthetic sea monster cyborg?
"Tell me! Are you from Base 30!?" Mingli suddenly became excited.
Sea monsters are very vindictive, and what is frightening is that sea monsters can survive on land for up to a month.
Within a month, this group of countless sea monsters would be enough to destroy Base 30. This is the reason why Base 30 had to be moved.
After they left Base 30 two years ago, the base began to evacuate. However, since the move, the base has disappeared from the sight of the world and has not had any contact with the outside world.
"I don't know about Base 30." Takahashi Ken was a little impatient and threw the 'dagger' in his hand at Mingli.
Fortunately, Mingli didn't lose his mind. He took out his armor-piercing gun and quickly hit it and the ball flew away.
However, what he didn't expect was that the so-called dagger was actually a tail thorn, which trembled and penetrated under Ming Li's ribs and stabbed him fiercely.
"Stab it hard...huh?" After writing this, Wu Ren slowly raised his head, put the pen in the "Fifth Secret Record" and put it in his arms. His strong arms instantly turned red as if they were ripe.
Prawn, he rushed towards Ken Takahashi with one lunge. Heat waves emanated from his fists like steam, and he knocked away Ken Takahashi with one punch.
Before Ken Takahashi landed, Wu Ren grabbed his tail and tore it off forcefully.
The blue blood smeared on Wu Ren's face again (cross out).
Ken Takahashi's thinking became confused due to the pain, and he struggled to crawl on the ground.
But Wuren didn't give him a chance to escape. He stepped on Takahashi Ken's tail and pulled out an armor-piercing gun from his waist: "Let me say my last words."
"If you kill me, you will be hunted by our God Clan!" Takahashi Ken touched his body again and handed a bead to Wuren: "You let me go, and I will give you this life-changing pill."
Here you go, if you eat it you will live forever!"
Wuren grabbed the 'Life-Changing Pill' and tilted his head to look at Mingli, waiting for his opinion.
Unexpectedly, Ken Takahashi became cruel and tore off a section of his tail again and ran away crazily. Wu Ren fired several shots without hitting the vital part, and he escaped hiding in the darkness.
"Banana is a guava, what a coward." Wuren wiped off the stickiness on his face, spat, and walked towards Mingli: "How is it? Is the injury serious?"
"It's okay." Mingli stood up reluctantly, took out the gauze and bandaged it briefly, pointing at the blue blood on the ground and said: "He can't go far, I'll go, you wait here."
"How about you take a rest? I think you are about to die."
"Need not."
"Your face is pale and you still say it's okay, or..."
"You are unreliable."
"Don't say that, I will be shy, just let me go."
"You can't."
"I've beaten him to death, you can't steal my head."
"You are too stupid."
"I'll just follow the head office. I promise not to touch a pen again today!"
"Let's go."
