Chapter 211: Meeting an irresistible opponent

A large ice blockage was triggered by the Blood River.

At this moment, tens of thousands of meters along the river seem to be a dusty ancient ruins for dozens of centuries, all shrouded in a silent窶冱 cold ice and snow.

Surprisingly, all of the advance team were frozen there, the freezing happened instantly, and they all remained in the same movements they were performing the second before they were quick-frozen.

"The freezing speed is very fast." Zheng Jingfeng observed the expression of the nearest armed police officer, who looked very calm and was checking his magazine with his head down, "If they had enough time to react when the mutation occurred, it's impossible for them to maintain such a normal expression. It means they were frozen at a shorter rate than the human reflex arc length."

"At that time, the monitoring system of the headquarters showed that the loss of the whole crew happened within 2.47 seconds, but according to the current situation, the fighters didn't even freeze for more than a second, and 2.47 is the time when God of wind's mechanical system failed." Zheng Jingfeng analyzed carefully.

Suddenly, Xie Qingcheng took him by the hand, dragged him behind a gnarled tree, and made a silent gesture toward him.

Xie Qingcheng's current hearing was so sensitive that he could catch sounds from far away in advance, so the two of them waited for a long time behind the tree, waiting for a special metal and steel bridge to float over the cold and foggy blood river, and a team of mechanical warriors stepped on the thick snow on the ground, and walked towards them with clanging footsteps. They came over to them, their electronic eyes glowing with green light.

The lead cyborg warrior stops in its tracks, its alloy head rotating 360 degrees as it looks around, and after a few brief seconds of processing, it says in a stiff tone.

"No hostiles detected, proceeding to portage."

The dozens of mechanical warriors behind them then began to unfurl their steel arms, picking up the frozen humans and carrying them on their shoulders like cargo, before returning one by one along the iron bridge, gradually disappearing into the pale wind and snow.

Zheng Jingfeng : "They are at ......"

Xie Qingcheng raised his hand to stop his voice, and he lowered his lashes, holding his breath as he listened to sounds that a normal human being could never possibly hear.

It took several minutes before he dropped his hand that was blocking Zheng Jingfeng, and then he opened his eyes.

"I heard two people conversing, one would be the apostle in the castle, and the other would be the inventor of these robots, Zhuo Ya."

He was stony, recounting softly what he had heard.

"Zhuo Ya said she would have these robots take all the fighters inside the castle and thaw them out inside the test area, so that the Apostle wouldn't have to worry about it or send anyone else to help, because they were frozen by her Radical Cold Light, and until they were thawed out by that device, the machine fighters could only be carried at a specific angle, strength and speed, or else they could easily cause intra-ice damage that thaws and dies outright."

Zheng Jingfeng: "That means all these people are still alive?"

Xie Qingcheng nodded, "As long as they are not easily touched and do not cause secondary damage, they can be defrosted. Listening to their conversation, Zhuo Ya is planning to transport all of these people back to the castle to become the experimental human bodies they need, without intending to destroy everyone immediately."

"That Radical Cold Light is ...... again."

"It should be the special weapon that made the First Order team all freeze in a short period of time." Xie Qingcheng said, "The speed of light is indeed much faster than human reactions. If they were hit by some kind of special light that froze them into icicles in a short period of time, then everything makes sense."

He said, using the God of wind system to transmit this information back to HQ while slowly stepping out from behind the large tree that hid him - at this moment Zhuo Ya was directing the group of mechanical soldiers transporting the test subjects to the castle, and Xie Qingcheng recognized them as they walked further and further away, their voices fading away.

It's safe here for now. No enemies are approaching.

"We need to get more data on the 'Radical Cold Light' now." Xie Qingcheng said, "Otherwise how many people are sent, the result will be the same."

"Such a powerful device, how come they've never used it in the last three years."

"I'm afraid it was just designed not long ago." Xie Qingcheng said, "After all, even people within their organization don't know much about this weapon."

Zheng Jingfeng : "Do you have any plans? About how to collect data on the Radical Speed Cold Light."

Xie Qingcheng: "Wait."

"Wait?"

"Mandela Island is too big." Xie Qingcheng said, "Finding it directly is impossible. But just now, Zhuo Ya said 'Before thawing with that device, the machine warriors can only be allowed to carry it at a specific angle, strength and speed, or else it will easily cause damage within the ice', and if her linguistic skills are okay, what that means is that after they transport the people to the castle, they need to activate the 'Radical Speed Cold Light' for thawing."

"There's also this piece of land." Xie Qingcheng's eyes glanced over the world of ice and snow in front of him, "It's impossible for them to keep refraining from melting the ice. As long as the ice is melted, that device will definitely be activated, and according to the attack range of the device - it can radiate thousands of miles of the Blood River's basin, and freeze more than two thousand people at the speed of light, it can't possibly be done silently."

After a pause, Xie Qingcheng continued, "As long as the device is activated, there will definitely be a lot of commotion. We can wait. Then ...... find the exact location of this weapon device on the island."

Zheng Jingfeng's eyes lit up and he whispered, "You said it."

Less experienced police officers might not be able to understand Xie Qingcheng's certainty, and they would most likely question why Xie Qingcheng was sure that Zhuo Ya would thaw out the frozen person so quickly.

What if she's a pervert and plans to hoard frozen people like winter cabbages to crunch on for New Year's?

What if she thinks the ice sculpture is beautiful, and it's festive to display as a perimeter, and she's not going to melt it for a while?

But Zheng Jingfeng was different, he immediately understood the feasibility of Xie Qingcheng's plan. If this was the first time Mandela's organization had used this special weapon to freeze so many living people, and the island was filled with almost all perverted scientists, how could they possibly endure the curiosity and not do a thawing to see the effect at the first time?

It is important to realize that for these researchers, the moment the results of their experiments are revealed, the cranial orgasm of accomplishment is no less than a tsunami, and they simply cannot resist the temptation to view the results, just as a junkie cannot resist high-purity heroin.

The two lurked down on the ground.

The temperature in this part of the country was very low, Xie Qingcheng and Zheng Jingfeng's clothes weren't too thick, Zheng Jingfeng was able to withstand it, but Xie Qingcheng was already having a hard time.

He closed his eyes and muffled his voice as he leaned against the trunk of the tree, listening to all the sounds around him and enduring the chill that was digging into his bones.

"Are you cold?" Zheng Jingfeng asked him.

"Fortunately, I'm not afraid."

Zheng Jingfeng was fooled.

Xie Qingcheng's health was very good when he was a child, his blood was hot, and he followed his parents around the police station in a thin coat in the middle of winter, so Zheng Jingfeng didn't have any doubts about what he said.

The only person who knows that his body is very intolerant to cold now is actually He Yu.

He Yu had given him the little fire dragon from before for the same reason, he wanted to cheer him up and earn a chance to warm the bed.

"...... "Thinking of that little fire dragon, Xie Qingcheng's heart felt stuffy.

It's broken.

And the person who had given it to him in the first place probably hadn't remembered the incident for a long time.

He's the only one who still can't get over it.

After a while, Zheng Jingfeng suddenly noticed his face and was stunned for a moment, "Why does your face look so ugly ...... Is it that these serums have consumed you too much?"

This time Xie Qingcheng did not answer immediately, he held back the slight nausea and closed his eyes without saying anything.

"Shay?"

"It's okay, just leave me alone, I'll rest for a while."

Aside from his fear of cold, the side effect of the serum was indeed part of the problem. But this side effect is actually so embarrassing that Xie Qingcheng doesn't want to explain it much to anyone--

He injects the serum into his body, and the physical environment automatically adapts to this invasion, confusing him as the serum's master for a short period of time, followed by some changes. Simply put, the entire body would create a self-perception error. Thinking that it is another person.

And Spirit #2 Ai Bola patient, unfortunately, was a pregnant woman when her disease was discovered and her serum taken.

The child was later born stillborn, and the mother was so grief-stricken and miserable that Xie Qingcheng sympathized with her and was actually less inclined to review the description of the case.

But the crux of the matter now was that while Serum 2 had briefly granted him powerful hearing, it had also temporarily subjected his body to some of the young woman's effects, his body more or less mimicking the pregnancy exhaustion, weakness, and even nausea she was experiencing at the time.

These pseudo-reactions were not too important, and would subside once the medication was over. Even when the attacks were difficult, Xie Qingcheng, a tough guy like him, was able to overcome them, but during the waiting process, which was already very painful, the sensation still caused him some psychological discomfort and made him very irritable.

Fortunately, by the time it was midnight that day, all those mechanical warriors transporting frozen people back and forth had paused.

Their stiff footsteps of "chug-chug-chug-chug-chug-chug" no longer sounded.

Xie Qingcheng regained his spirit and listened carefully, in the silence of the snow, there was only the sound of a human's pace, it should be Zhuo Ya, she was slowly walking towards the depths of the base......

Zheng Jingfeng leaned against the tree trunk and whispered, "Well?"

Xie Qingcheng : "Gone, disappeared to the southeast ...... can't hear it now."

Zheng Jingfeng : "Whether she turns on the device or not depends on this hour."

"Uh-huh."

Xie Qingcheng said, suddenly lowered his head and coughed violently a few times, some nausea to vomit.

Zheng Jingfeng: "Are you okay?"

"It's fine." Xie Qingcheng answered lowly, catching his breath and removing another Serum 2 and an rn-13 from within his accompanying pillbox, gritting his teeth and injecting them into his pale green veins.

Zheng Jingfeng looked scared, but knew there was no way to stop him now.

Xie Qingcheng could only do so, and only by doing so could he gather the most important information for the Dream Breakers, even affecting the final victory or defeat.

"It hurts?"

"It's okay." Xie Qingcheng said, disposing of the spent injection, "I don't have that much pain."

"...... You kids have to be strong from a young age." Zheng Jingfeng sighed and handed him his accompanying water bottle, which was filled with hot tea, "Drink some to slow down."

Xie Qingcheng paused and took the leather pot, "Thank you."

Zheng Jingfeng laughed softly in the darkness, his black eyes looking up at him in the darkness, "Fuck, you haven't said thank you to me in a long time, only when you were a kid, before your parents were in trouble....... After that, you either had a scowl on your face when you saw me, or you argued with me. "

Xie Qingcheng took another big sip of the hot tea and gave it back to Zheng Jingfeng, who coughed again, the hot air he exhaled as he spoke dissipating into the cold wind.

He was decidedly stern: "Put less tea in next time, this is too choking ......"

Zheng Jingfeng was just about to answer, when he heard a sharp sound of "whoosh", followed by a beam of what looked like a white light piercing straight into the sky, rapidly racing towards the sky in the direction of the castle, as fast as a ball of lightning.

Xie Qingcheng and Zheng Jingfeng got up almost simultaneously and looked at the place where the strange light had been emitted--

"It's that weapon! Radical Speed Cold Light!" Zheng Jingfeng said.

The light flashed extremely swiftly and disappeared in a moment, but a still-smoky mark remained on the firmament, like a scar on the night sky.

Xie Qingcheng : "Five Points of Direction."

His mind, freshly injected with rn-13, was so clear and calculating as fast as an electronic system that he measured the location of the Radical Speed Cold Light's device almost simultaneously with the God of wind software.

"Five o'clock, about four and a half thousand meters away. According to the map location of Mandela Island, the area where this device was placed ...... is in the forest labyrinth near the exit."

They uploaded the information to the God of wind system cloud once again, and then Xie Qingcheng said to Zheng Jingfeng, "Go."

With a distance of four to five kilometers not too close, not too far, the two of them quickly ran and approached their target. However, when they were still more than a thousand meters away from their destination, Xie Qingcheng suddenly stopped.

"There are guard robots up ahead."

"Near the Radical Cold Light?"

Xie Qingcheng nodded, wearing black combat half-finger gloves, his slim fingers resting against the inside of his ears as he closed his eyes and listened, "There are two, they should be the guards Zhuo Ya left behind."

"It's not strange for her to stay on guard, it's really strange if she doesn't." Zheng Jingfeng said.

"Looks like we'll just have to fight."

Zheng Jingfeng responded, pulling up the data about the battle droid in the God of wind system and carefully looking it over, "It's best if we don't attract their attention, sniping them off directly is the best solution. This kind of battle robot will blow itself up, and may also feed combat information to Zhuo Ya, once Zhuo Ya knows that we are approaching the Radical Cold Light, then she will immediately rush back, and the situation will become very tricky at that time."

Xie Qingcheng frowned: "It's hard to achieve, the distance these robots can detect movement is within 800 meters, which is just the normal range of a modern sniper, and it's hard to shoot accurately enough to catch the robot's head at around 800 meters."

But Zheng Jingfeng, after taking a look at the situation with his binoculars, said, "Leave it to me."

"...... I know you were once the best police sniper in the city, but eight hundred meters to aim at a robot's head that's less than half of a standard target." Xie Qingcheng said, "You can't do it."

"Don't underestimate your uncle too much, little brat." Zheng Jingfeng grimaced and smiled, then sank back and looked down to make a tune-up of his firearm.

His gun was specially fitted for him by the Dream Breaker, Xie Qingcheng didn't play with firearms and didn't know what he was primping for, but Zheng Jingfeng's character was cautious and almost never did anything adventurous, so since he was so confident, Xie Qingcheng didn't stop him anymore and only stared at his every move to see what kind of idea he had in mind.

The two men made their preparations, then catapulted themselves forward through the darkened path, the God of wind system constantly beeping as they approached their destination.

900 meters, 950 meters ......810 meters ......

Being careful in all things, Zheng Jingfeng stopped at 810 meters, not moving forward to touch the 800 meter induction dead line. He gently breathed, slowly raised his gun, and through the scope, he locked on to the side shadows of the two mechanical warriors walking back and forth where they had been, with their blackened muzzles aimed at the ......

Calibration, positioning.

Despite his age, decades of running around on the front line had made him a flowing water that never rotted, and his skills were not rusty, his hands were extremely steady and unmoving.

Second sighting and repositioning.

One second.

Two seconds.

The heart thumped with the silent count of seconds.

III -

"Bang!" The silenced gun let out a low muffled sound as the bullet broke through the air and shot straight towards the mechanical warriors! The moment the bullet passed through the 800 meter restricted area, it attracted the attention of the mechanical warriors, Xie Qingcheng saw in the night vision binoculars that the two mechanical warriors reacted extremely fast, almost at the same time as the bullet was discharged, they turned their heads and reacted to quickly dodge and move!

Dang!

In a flash, Xie Qingcheng's blood went cold.

It didn t hit ...... that bullet missed by a little bit of distance and hit the ground in the middle of the two mechanical warriors, which had already turned back, and the electronic eyes that glowed with green light shot straight in their direction!

At the same time, God of wind also locked onto the battle droids head-on for the first time, sending out a sharp warning in Xie Qingcheng and Zheng Jingfeng's headsets:

"System lock - Riot Kill Mechanical Warrior! This is the most lethal and fastest of all the Mechanical Fighters, destroying the Riot Recommended Battle Force - 130!"

130 people ...... they are only two ......

Xie Qingcheng lost all his blood and said to Zheng Jingfeng in a stern voice, "Zheng, run!"

However, for some reason, Zheng Jingfeng didn't move, instead he held Xie Qingcheng down - the Stormtroopers had already turned their necks and were ready to attack them, but Zheng Jingfeng held Xie Qingcheng in place!

Xie Qingcheng: "Lao Zheng?!"

Zheng Jingfeng said, "Don't move. You can't escape."
