Two hundred and twentieth chapters [wolves into the flock]
Chapter 225 [The wolf joins the sheep]
Chen Nuo had a cigarette in his mouth.
Snap!
Behind him, a hand handed over a lighter, the flame flickering.
Chen Nuo raised his head and glanced at the female mercenary standing in front of him. Seeing her beautiful face covered with oil and sweat, he smiled faintly, leaned over to light the cigarette, and then took a puff.
"Thank you." Selena stood next to Chen Nuo and looked at the stream in front of her.
"Thank me for what?"
"A few times on the road, when you were taking turns to open the road, you consciously slowed down." Selina whispered: "A few of my people died."
"Um."
"You are all very powerful guys. I heard the words of several other people. They were even ready to abandon the team and leave... I know very well that if you leave, all my people will be destroyed in this red mist.
"
"Don't worry, if they leave, they will definitely take you with them." Chen Nuo shook his head.
"No, I will choose to stay with my people." Selena shook her head.
Chen Nuo took a long drag on the cigarette, then turned to look at the female mercenary: "Why, if you are too moved and are ready to commit yourself... now is not a suitable occasion and time. We are not even together now.
There are no tents, unless you don’t mind fighting in the wild..."
Selina's expression changed, she glared at Harvey fiercely, then stood up and walked away.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around and said coldly: "Mr. Harvey, do you have to deliberately act like such a bastard?"
"I didn't do it intentionally." Chen Nuo smiled and said: "Seriously, if you really don't mind having a field battle, tonight... we can make an appointment after dark, how about it?"
"..." Selena closed her mouth and strode away.
·
A temporary and crude camp was set up by the stream.
Most of the materials were discarded when escaping. At this moment, there was not even a tent in the team, so everyone could only repair in the open air.
Fortunately, it is still possible to make several fires. Even if the solid fuel brought is not enough, cutting down some branches can still make up for it.
Chen Nuo walked to the stream for a while, found a secluded place to urinate, and finally walked back to the camp slowly with a cigarette in his mouth.
Selena did not relax her vigilance. During her break, one-third of her manpower was assigned to be on guard duty.
Dinner was a single soldier's ration, plus fish that a few mercenaries caught in the stream.
The fish was not small, but Chen Nuo didn't take two bites...it had an indescribable earthy smell.
However, Sato Ryoko quickly delivered a small package of beef jerky.
Chen Nuo looked at the beef jerky in front of him. After being stunned for a moment, he looked at the chubby woman: "Did you not forget to take your snacks with you when you ran away?"
"...It's delicious!" Sato Ryoko frowned.
After Chen Nuo took it, he tore open the packaging bag and started eating.
"You are actually a very kind person." Sato Ryoko spoke again.
"Kind?"
"Yeah." The woman nodded her head, like a chicken pecking at rice, and whispered: "I know they want to abandon everyone and escape on their own, but you are against it... so..."
"I actually like the word 'kindness' very much, but I also hate the word 'kindness'. Do you know?" Chen Nuo shook his head.
"ha?"
"I tell you, if it comes to a life-and-death situation, I will abandon these mercenaries and escape alone!
If I tell you this, will you still think I'm kind?"
Chen Nuo looked at Ryoko Sato with a smile.
This woman doesn't speak.
"I just don't agree. You give up on these people before they reach the necessary moment... They obviously still have a lot of energy left. Just to increase the possibility of self-protection, you give up human lives without hesitation. I don't agree with this.
However, if it comes to a necessary moment, when life and death are on the line, I'm afraid I will run away.
Therefore, I may be just a little bit more noble than them.
Just a little bit."
"I don't quite understand what you said."
Chen Nuo sighed: "In the critical moment of life and death, those who are not willing to run away by themselves, but are willing to save their own kind, are... saints!
Saint, I can't do it.
However, we are far from reaching the critical moment, but if the situation is not good, immediately abandoning others of the same kind... that is inhumane.
Likewise, I can't do it without humanity.
I am just somewhere in the middle between being a saint and being inhumane.
I just kept a little bit of humanity for myself."
Speaking of this, Chen Nuo said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, being a human being is a bit human, which is the bottom line of the moral concepts I know.
This is the bottom line!
When can you be praised as 'kind' just by meeting the bottom line?"
I don’t know when, many strange things began to appear in this world.
If a person can abide by the moral bottom line, just the bottom line, will he be praised as kind?
A person who is just unwilling to cross the moral bottom line, just the bottom line, will be extremely scolded as a holy mother?
Then there must be something wrong with our world!
·
Varnell was not idle, and he quickly told everyone the bad news.
The satellite phone I brought out was unable to contact the base camp.
I don’t know if it’s a malfunction or some other reason, but in short, the team is currently out of contact!
This news was kept secret within a few people and was not known to the mercenaries in the team.
Moreover, there is another related effect.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to join up with the Son of the Sun.
Originally, according to the plan, Lord Son of the Sun would meet us at the outpost camp, but now we have escaped from the campground and lost contact with the outside world, so..."
Beside the campfire, several ability users looked gloomy.
Sato Ryoko seemed to have let herself go, with an expression of indifference on her face - Chen Nuo didn't know whether this woman really didn't understand what Varnell said in English, or whether she actually understood it, but really didn't care at all.
.
When Varnell called the indigenous guide, opened the map and began to carefully study the direction of the team, Sato Ryoko had already pulled Chen Nuo to the stream.
This woman actually wants to catch fish.
Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows and waved his fingers casually, and a palm-sized fish jumped out of the water under the control of his mind. After landing on the ground on the shore, it kept jumping around.
"As a person with abilities, what fun is there in catching fish?"
"Of course it's not like that!!" Ryoko Sato glared.
Seeing this woman roll up her sleeves and trousers and jump into the stream... Chen Nuo shook his head.
Well, luckily this is a very shallow stream and not a place where piranhas live.
·
After all, Sato Ryoko caught the fish. However, Chen Nuo was not sure whether the fish was really caught or whether the woman finally got impatient after playing for a while and used her telekinesis to catch it.
But obviously this guy seemed to be in high spirits, and then he occupied a bonfire and started roasting her spoils.
There aren't many bonfires in the camp, but as an ability user, you still have the right to have one all to yourself.
A fish was half burnt, and Chen Nuo didn't even bother to look at it.
He would rather eat a compressed cookie than touch one!
The woman grabbed the grilled fish and tried to take the first bite, but then quickly spit it out.
“It’s so bitter and fishy!!”
Chen Nuo smiled: "Didn't anyone tell you... to make fish, you have to disembowel it first and remove the internal organs?"
·
The camp was filled with an atmosphere of survival.
We have encountered too many dangers in the past two days, especially today, when the terrible red mist attack made everyone's spirits suppressed to the extreme.
At this moment, we were finally out of trouble, and everyone was very excited and excited.
"Mr. Harvey, why did you choose to undertake this commission?"
"It's for money. Otherwise? Is it for world peace?"
"Then why do you want to make money?"
"Because I love money! Otherwise? Is it for world peace?"
"But...why do I feel that you are just for world peace?"
Damn it?
Is this a woman’s keen sixth sense?
Chen Nuo's heart skipped a beat, but it didn't show on his face.
Is there world peace...
Strictly speaking, it seems to be correct.
If it weren't for the purpose of finding out whether this weird mission of the octopus monster is related to the alien mother body...
Chen Yanluo would not let go of his leisurely days in Jinling and come to this tropical rainforest to eat military rations!
Is Sun CC not soft enough, or is Her Majesty the Queen not fragrant enough?
Even if you are teasing Li Grasshopper or Miss Peach Butt on a daily basis, it is still ten thousand times better than staying with a group of stinky and sweaty mercenaries in this rain forest!
"You should have a good rest tonight. I will keep watch." Sato Ryoko said seriously: "You were the main force in the battle during the day. You were escaping all the way, and you were responsible for opening the way. It consumed too much strength."
Chen Nuo thought for a while and didn't refuse.
Although it consumes a lot of mental energy, for Chen Nuo, it is far from reaching the limit.
But...it's not bad to take a rest.
But before going to bed, Chen Nuo lay on a temporary bed made of coats and glanced in a certain direction in the camp.
Saw Selena sitting by a campfire…
Well, he didn't go into the woods, and even gave me a cold look.
Chen Nuo turned over and closed his eyes.
·
It was pitch black...
Chen Nuo felt that he was walking, as if he was walking unconsciously.
While walking, I seemed to be able to hear faint crying coming from somewhere ahead.
That voice is getting clearer and clearer, and more and more familiar!
Very strange feeling!
Chen Nuo suddenly realized that he was dreaming again!
In an instant, he woke up!
·
"Harvey! Harvey!!"
A chubby hand patted Chen Nuo's face. Chen Nuo suddenly sat up and saw Sato Ryoko squatting beside him. Through the embers of the bonfire, Chen Nuo could clearly see the uneasy expression on Sato Ryoko's face.
"What's wrong?"
"Then, that fog is here again!"
Chen Nuo suddenly jumped up, but soon, as soon as he jumped up, he fell heavily to the ground again!
Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment!
All of his mental tentacles have been suppressed! The power of his mind was unable to hold up his body, so Chen Nuo's jump up just now was suppressed by an invisible force!
Instantly, a familiar feeling!
This feeling of suppressed power is exactly the same as when RB was exploring the place where the underwater mother body was!
Looking around, the camp was already in panic. Some of the mercenaries had jumped up, some had just been woken up by their companions, and some had even started running around the camp to pack their things.
Behind the camp, the jungle where the fugitives came today is already crimson! The terrifying red mist began to fill the air again, emerging out of the jungle and pressing towards the camp!
The same is true for the jungle on the other side of the stream!
Upstream too!
The only place that doesn't look foggy is the downstream direction of the stream.
Varnell's rich voice echoed through the camp, urging everyone to wake up and form a team.
Selina was frantically gathering the mercenaries.
What surprised Chen Nuo was that the mental power he tried to stretch out was suppressed again!
He immediately turned to look at Sato Ryoko, who also looked nervous: "I, my ability has been suppressed, how about you?"
Chen Nuo didn't answer. He stood up and ran towards Vanel. The sea monster and the others were also there.
Soon, the ability users completed a quick exchange.
"Our sensing ability has been greatly suppressed!! I can't even create air flow!" The sea monster said quickly: "We must get out of here now!!"
Bonfrey was the fastest. He didn't even wait for everyone to discuss something, and hurried away towards the downstream direction of the stream.
Seeing that Bonfrey left first, the sea monster was stunned for a moment - probably because he didn't expect this noble gentleman to be so straightforward.
"Vanelle! Sorry, we can't be of much help! Let's go our separate ways!"
After the sea monster finished speaking, he ran away, followed by the golden bird and the gray cat Black.
Several ability users were the first to run out of the camp, which immediately caused a commotion among the mercenaries. Soon, some people in the team that Selina had worked hard to organize ignored orders and ran out in the direction in which the several ability users were fleeing.
If someone runs away, someone will follow, and the team will soon completely collapse.
Although Selina was still scolding her hard, trying to get the mercenaries to at least bring their equipment and the wounded, most of them still ran away.
At this moment...
Bang!!!
In the red night, a gunshot sounded!
A mercenary who was shouting something was shot directly through the neck by a bullet, and then fell straight to the ground!
"Enemy attack!!!!"
After a scream, I saw a crowd of people rushing out of the thick red mist in the jungle!
The one wearing black camouflage is Black Bee, and the one wearing yellow-green camouflage is Sand Fox!
In the previous night attack, the first two missing mercenary teams attacked again!
The sound of gunfire soon became intensive, and the mercenaries began to pick up their guns and fight back. However, this time the opponent charged very bravely and had an advantage in numbers. The mercenaries were already demoralized and scattered, and were quickly suppressed.
Come down!
More and more mercenaries were killed, and some even gave up resistance, threw away their guns, turned around and ran away.
The camp was in complete chaos! Only Selina and a few mercenaries were still persisting in firing back.
Chen Nuo grabbed Sato Ryoko and said quickly: "Run! Run!"
"ah?"
"Our abilities have been suppressed! Without abilities, you are no better than an ordinary person! Let's go!!"
Chen Nuo pushed Sato Ryoko hard, then picked up a gun on the ground that was thrown away by an unknown mercenary, knelt on the ground with one knee, fired back in a semi-standing posture, and at the same time shot Sato Ryoko
Shouted: "Run!!"
"Asshole!" Sato Ryoko's face was ferocious, she suddenly took a deep breath, and then she made a move that made Chen Nuo almost pop his eyes out!
The woman waved her arms, and the water in the stream behind her suddenly surged into the sky, then rolled into a whirlpool and rushed towards a group of night raiders running out of the edge of the jungle.
After the water splash shattered, several night attackers were rushed directly into the jungle, and some even had their bodies twisted!
Sato Ryoko's face was full of anger and murderous intent: "You should run away!! I am stronger than you!!"
Chen Nuo stared at this woman with wide eyes.
At this moment...a figure suddenly emerged from the crimson forest!
To be precise, this figure flew out!
No matter how Chen Nuo opened his eyes, he still seemed to be unable to see clearly the figure's gaze, as if the other person was shrouded in a blur.
Chen Nuo immediately judged that this was the refraction of light created by some kind of ability!
After the figure flew out, Chen Nuo immediately felt an invisible but powerful pressure in the air!
The figure waved its arms, and the few mercenaries on the edge of the camp who were still bravely fighting back with their guns flew directly into the air, and then fell to the ground, smashed to a bloody pulp!
This guy rushed directly into the camp. The mercenary's bullets hit him, and he was quickly frozen in the air! The man waved his backhand again, and a strong storm swept towards Chen Nuo.
…
Sato Ryoko screamed and stood directly in front of Chen Nuo. The woman flew out and then, like a steel knife, cut through the storm of telepathy!
Chen Nuo felt that the clothes on his body were cut open several times in the violent airflow, and Sato Ryoko had already rushed forward and directly collided with the figure in mid-air!
boom!!
This loud noise, with a huge sound wave impact, was like a strong wind blowing through a wheat field, sweeping down a large area of people on the ground!
After the collision of forces in the air, the figure suddenly fell down like a bird with broken wings, and retreated into the forest shrouded in red mist.
In mid-air, the figure of Ryoko Sato also fell. Chen Nuo quickly ran over and caught Ryoko Sato. The force of the fall brought him to the ground.
Sato Ryoko was already unconscious, with traces of blood coming out of her mouth and nose.
"Harvey!!" Selina and the two of them quickly ran to his side.
Chen Nuo handed Sato Ryoko to Selena: "Take her away! Go quickly!"
"And you?"
"Of course I'll run away with you too! Do you think I'll stay and wean you off?" Chen Nuo glared and cursed.
With that said, Chen Nuo picked up the gun, fired a bunch of bullets at the night attacker who had already run into the camp, and then shouted: "Go! Hold her! Go!"
The two mercenaries immediately set up Sato Ryoko, and Selena and Chen Nuo grabbed their guns and ran along, firing at the same time to stop the night attackers behind them.
There were only sporadic gunshots left in the camp, and this sporadic resistance was quickly extinguished.
Several people had already run out of the downstream direction of the camp, but soon, the thick fog behind them seemed to suddenly gain momentum and sweep in!
The gun in Chen Nuo's hand was empty of ammunition. Facing a night attacker who rushed in front of him, Chen Nuo quickly pulled out his saber and plunged it into the opponent's neck. Then he flew forward and kicked the opponent.
Kick away.
Although his ability has been suppressed, Chen Nuo is still invincible within a distance of two meters!
Selina also emptied her magazine, and as more and more night raiders rushed out of the jungle, the two soon became entangled.
Chen Nuo split open a night raider in front of him in one breath, then jumped over, pulled up Selena who had been knocked to the ground, and threw her hard, and Selina fell into the stream with a pop.
.
Seeing Selena rushing away with the stream, Chen Nuo quickly shouted: "Jump into the water!!"
The two mercenaries quickly carried Sato Ryoko and jumped into the river. Chen Nuo had just stepped into the stream when gunfire rang out again behind him.
His ability was suppressed to a range of less than two meters. Chen Nuo no longer dared to perform the skill of blocking bullets in the air. He could only roll continuously to avoid bullets, but he was entangled by more and more night attackers with guns.
And soon, the thick fog gradually spread here...
Chen Nuo forcefully opened up a night raider in front of him, and saw that thick fog had already enveloped his body...
Looking back, in the stream, Selena and others had floated far away with the river water, and a piece of tree trunk that came back from somewhere was hugged by Selena and others.
The woman yelled and waved to her, but soon, the thick fog blocked Chen Nuo's sight.
Chen Nuo had already held his breath - no one knows how this thick fog can drive people crazy.
He jumped into the water, but soon he felt his feet being grabbed tightly. After struggling in the water for a few times, Chen Nuo turned around and pushed away the hold in the water.
A Night Raider on his own legs.
But under the water, Chen Nuo could clearly see that the surface of the water was already crimson!
The fog has completely enveloped this area!
He struggled to swim underwater for a while, but still couldn't swim out of the fog area, and he clearly felt that the air in his lungs was getting less and less.
Chen Nuo cursed secretly in his heart.
In an instant, he made a decision!
He turned around underwater and swam toward the upstream camp again!
In the water, Chen Nuo found a night raider whose neck was broken by him, and then quickly took off his training uniform.
This is the uniform of the Black Bee Mercenary Group.
Chen Nuo quickly put the coat on himself, and then rubbed his face and body vigorously under the water.
Soon, all the disguise materials used to "disguise" Harvey were removed.
A minute later, Chen Nuo's oxygen finally ran out. He put on the Black Bee uniform underwater and finally emerged from the water.
The world seemed to have been completely enveloped in a red mist.
Chen Nuo tried his best to use his mental power, but he could only maintain a range of more than one meter around him, barely maintaining this small barrier.
Lying on the ground on the river beach, Chen Nuo saw that from time to time there were night attackers walking by with guns in hand and cold and numb expressions on their faces.
Someone seemed to have seen Chen Nuo, but their eyes just glanced at his uniform, and then quickly looked away.
Chen Nuo carefully contracted his telekinesis again, so much that the barrier separating the mist was barely a few centimeters close to his skin.
Then, he slowly climbed up, stood up straight, and walked slowly for a few steps in the mist.
Visually, there were two night raiders wearing sand fox uniforms less than ten steps away. The two guys glanced at them casually and then left again.
Chen Nuo knew that he had won the bet.
As if in the red mist, the reactions of these night attackers became much slower.
In the camp, more and more night raiders entered, and soon, like wooden piles, everyone stopped moving and stood here upright!
Chen Nuo also stopped immediately, and the guys around the imitator also stood upright without moving at all.
The red mist began to disperse strangely!
The speed of dispersing is even faster than the speed of attack.
The bottom of the sky returned to its original color, and Chen Nuo could even see the stars in the sky at night.
And right on the river bank, there was a messy camp on the ground, with dead bodies everywhere.
And nearly a hundred heavily armed night raiders stood there like wood and clay sculptures!
Chen Nuo stood among them, feeling extremely strange in his heart.
In the jungle, soon, the figure floated out again.
From the figure's floating posture, Chen Nuo judged that this guy's strength had obviously been greatly damaged. It seemed that in the head-on fight between Sato Ryoko and him, this guy didn't take much advantage.
At this moment, a piece of mental energy swept over quickly!
Chen Nuo's heart trembled!
He simply put down all resistance, withdrew all telekinesis tentacles and barriers, and forcibly contracted all his consciousness back into the consciousness space...
Chen Nuo made the right bet!
The mental scan swept through the crowd, did not stop on him, and was quickly withdrawn.
Then, the hundreds of clay sculpture-like Night Raiders began to move slowly. They began to move like machines, and then formed a queue. The leader began to walk, wading across the stream and heading deep into the jungle.
Chen Nuo, on the other hand, waited carefully, and then followed the last position of the team, following this group of night attackers who were like living dead, all the way away...
