the only savior

Chapter 575 Mysterious Fragment (Two in One)

Half an hour later, in a storage room under the Wildfire Tavern.

"Your Excellency, this is where we temporarily store the corpses of monsters."

Paul came to a row of cabinets and said.

As he reached out and opened one of the cabinets, a gust of cold air spread out from it.

He put the three giant rat corpses into it one by one. This scene looked very weird. Combined with those freezers, it made people feel like they were in a hospital morgue.

"Your Excellency... There is one thing I have been curious about for a long time, I wonder if I can ask..."

After Paul finished all this, he turned around and asked with some trepidation.

"You say it."

"Okay, that is, about those mutant beasts, where did they come from... What's the use of organizing and collecting these corpses...?"

After speaking, he quickly added:
"Well, I just asked casually out of curiosity. If it's not convenient for you to say it, then forget it. I don't really want to know that much..."

Hu Peng stared at him, and thought that this guy's curiosity is not small, but these are not secrets, and it's okay to tell him.

He immediately said: "You really care about these things, but since you are from the Wildfire Tavern, it doesn't hurt to tell you some things."

"The organization is currently investigating the origin of the mutant beast. I believe you can tell from those tasks."

"What we can confirm now is that these things are absolutely man-made, because the traces of genetic modification are too obvious. This is also the comparison result given by professional researchers within the organization."

Hu Peng paused when he said this. He couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw the other party's appearance of listening to some kind of confidential information.

However, his face remained calm, and he continued with a serious face:
"As for the use of these corpses, it involves some things inside the organization, and you don't need to know for the time being."

"All I can tell you is that they are also very important to our related research. These corpses are of high value in the hands of the organization, so you must not be careless when preserving them, and at the same time, pay attention to yourself safety."

What he said made Paul very excited, and he felt like he knew a great secret.

But this is the state of excitement he was in when he first met X.

If you calm down and think about it carefully, you will find that Hu Peng has said so much, most of which are just things he can guess on the surface.

As for the real key information, not a single word was disclosed.

"Thank you both for your trust. Don't worry, I will work hard and use my life to protect the property in the organization!"

Paul said sternly.

Hu Peng and Xun You just smiled, and naturally they didn't take each other's words seriously.

"Okay, we have a basic understanding of the situation here, where is Wes? He asked us to come here today because he said that he has important information to share. Why haven't we seen others?"

Xun You said doubtfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the basement entrance was opened, and someone ran in.

Everyone turned their heads to look, but they said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and the person who came was the former member of the Wildfire Squad, and now the owner of the Wildfire Tavern on the surface——Wess.

Weiss was panting slightly while holding the door frame, obviously just after a strenuous exercise.

"Hey, Cheng Huang, Huo Dou, so you are here..."

He said in a not-so-fluent Chinese:

"I'm very sorry, I'm late. I really didn't expect that I was stuck in a traffic jam on the streets of Herault. God knows why there are so many cars today!"

Xun You smiled: "Winter is coming soon, and now is the peak season for tropical beach tourism, so it's normal for there to be more people. Weiss, what's the matter with calling us over in such a hurry?"

"Oh, that's right, I found a strange thing, but I can't figure out what it is, but I believe you should be more interested in it."

……

Ten minutes later, in an office on the third floor of the tavern.

Hu Peng was squatting on the ground and observing a small box placed on the coffee table in front of him. Inside that box was a strange-looking fragment.

This fragment looks a bit like it fell off a certain building. It has a conical shape, the main body is black, and there are red lines painted on it.

"There are dark energy fluctuations, Weiss, where did you find this thing?"

Hu Peng turned his head to look at Weiss beside him.

"This was provided by a lone hunter named Sizal, along with the corpse of a mutant snake. According to him, this thing was seen between the snake's scales."

"Gaps in the scales? How big is this snake?"

"It's a little smaller than the one we met last time, but it's even uglier. It shouldn't be a problem to swallow me in one gulp."

"You just said this man was a lone hunter?"

"Yes." Weiss shrugged and said, "To be honest, although Sisar's personality is a bit withdrawn, his strength is still nothing to say, but this time he can hunt and kill monsters of this level alone. , I didn’t expect that either.”

"What about the corpse of the mutant snake? Have you asked him where the snake was found?"

"The body is now in a warehouse. As for the place where the snake appeared, we have also investigated and found nothing unusual."

"Well, I will take us to see the snake's body later, maybe we can find some clues from it."

As Hu Peng said, he looked at the fragment again, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"As for this fragment, to be honest, I don't remember any history related to it at all, I don't have any impression!"

"Also, this piece of debris gives me a very bad feeling... When I look at it, I can feel the dark energy in my body churning, and it seems to be able to affect my energy..."

He closed the box abruptly.

"This thing is definitely queer! We'd better seal it up."

Xun You on the side also nodded and said, "Yes, I also feel the same way. Weiss, have you touched this fragment before?"

Wes shook his head.

"No, although I don't have dark energy, my sixth sense is very accurate. After seeing it, I felt that it was not a good thing, so I kept a distance from it and never opened the box. Pass."

Xun You said affirmatively: "Yes, you have done a good job. In the face of these unknowns, you must remain vigilant."

He paused and asked again:

"By the way, has anyone else touched this fragment besides you?"

"This one is gone. After Sizar gave me the fragments, I felt something was wrong, so I sealed them up and kept them."

"That's good. Now, you take us to the warehouse right now, and then go to see that Cizal by the way. I have something I want to ask him face to face."

Xun You made a decision.

Recently, he and Hu Peng have been in charge of investigating the mutant beasts, especially in the Eero area, which is the breeding base of sunflowers, so there is no room for loss.

It's just that although the number of mutant beasts is increasing, its source has always been a mystery.

Even Xing took the initiative to use some black technology in the organization but failed to find clues. The other party was like a ghost, leaving no trace at all.

But after Tina's analysis, everything is pointing in the same direction. There is a 90% possibility that these genetically mutated mutant beasts are caused by humans.

There is indeed a pair of invisible black hands manipulating behind this.

Now, the number of mutant beasts is growing crazily. Originally, they were only in Eero and the United States, but recently, traces of them have been found almost all over the world.

To this end, many countries have started investigations.

While human beings are facing alien species, there are many more threats from the local planet, which makes many people very worried.

Looking at the silver-white storage box in front of him, Xun You had a faint premonition in his heart.

It seems that this time they found some very important clues.

"Perhaps, the guy who created everything is about to be unable to hide..."

He was thinking about the relevant information about mutant beasts, but suddenly he heard a commotion outside the door.

"what happened?"

Hu Peng obviously heard it too. Both of them strengthened their physiques and their hearing became extremely sharp.

Only Wes in the room still looked puzzled.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The door was opened immediately, and Paul hurried in.

"What happened outside?"

Paul looked at the three people in the room and explained:

"There seems to be something happening on the beach. When I was outside just now, I saw a lot of people running from that direction, shouting 'monsters' while running. The direction is to the northeast of us, which should be the side of Kuli Beach! "

"Monster!?"

The three of them froze for a moment, and immediately thought of alien species and mutant beasts in their minds.

"Go and see!"

Hu Peng shouted loudly, and stepped forward in an instant, passing Paul's side like a gust of wind.

Xun You was not to be outdone, and there were only Weiss and Paul left in the room.

"Look what I'm doing, let's go."

Wes spread his hands to the stunned Paul, then passed him and walked straight to the door.

Outside, on the street.

It's already a chaotic scene.

The crowd fled in the opposite direction one after another. Fortunately, it was lunch time and there were not too many people, otherwise a serious stampede would have occurred.

"Monsters! There are monsters! My God, there are monsters fighting over there!"

"Everyone, run!"

"Help! Help! Someone save my daughter! She's trapped on the reef!"

"Don't push me! My leg hurts!"

"Run! Help!"

"..."

A series of terrified screams came to the ears of Hu Peng and Xun You. Looking at the crowd running hurriedly in front of them, they already had guesses about what happened on the beach.

The two were like lightning, and ran against the crowd to the Kuli Beach in the northeast.

If they encounter a crowded and narrow place on the road, they will also stage a parkour scene that is only seen in movies, and the movements look very chic.

It's just this scene, no one is in the mood to stop and appreciate it, everyone is terrified by the monster over there.

Even those who didn't see the monster with their own eyes would flee for their lives amidst the terrified screams of others, completely unaware of what happened.

The two buffed their physique by [-] points, and they ran extremely fast. Even in this environment, it didn't take long to reach the scene of the incident.

This is a beach, and the two rich second generations even came here to play before.

But now, the beach is no longer the same as it used to be.

Umbrellas and deck chairs fell all over the ground, and the ground was covered with items left by the crowd when they fled in a panic, looking dirty and messy.

At this time, the two noticed that not far from the beach, there were still some bold guys standing in place and never leaving with the crowd.

They were all young men in swimsuits and sunglasses, apparently on vacation.

Now, these people are staying in a place that they think is relatively safe. They hold mobile phones in their hands, and the screen is aimed at the seaside, filming a big battle not far away.

Just about 100 meters away from them, there are two huge figures entangled together.

Hu Peng saw that among the two monsters, one was a basilisk and the other was a huge lizard.

The lizard has a strange appearance, about seven meters long and three meters high, with six legs, its whole body covered with yellow scales, and its wide dorsal fin looks extremely sharp, shining coldly like a sharp knife.

The other basilisk looked much more normal. Its appearance was similar to what the few people saw in the oasis before, but it was obviously much larger, with a body at least 20 meters long.

At this time, the basilisk was fighting the lizard.

The snake's body was wrapped around the lizard's body, but considering the opponent's sharp dorsal fin, it only dared to wrap its body around the lizard's lower body, as if it wanted to trip the opponent.

The lizard also had an extremely ferocious expression, its sharp teeth and claws frantically scratched and bit the basilisk's scales.

Its movements are extremely agile, and it is not as bulky as it seems on the surface.

The battle between the two monsters was extremely fierce, and the sea water flew around with their attacks, as if rendering gorgeous special effects for this battle.

"Come on! Kill it!"

"Kill that snake! Indestructible lizard!"

"Cool! Let's make a big move! Let us see how good you are!"

On the side, those young people watching the battle were not satisfied with just filming, and even started cheering again.

Hu Peng came to them and said to them, "Get out of here quickly! Those monsters are dangerous!"

When those young people heard his words, they just took a look here, and then quickly moved their eyes to the two monsters fighting, ignoring them at all.

"Who are you! Run away for your life! Coward, don't get in the way here!"

A young man even threw a dissatisfied complaint at them.
