Origin of Mars

Chapter 62 Monsters
Raphael Kate put his feet high on the expensive mahogany desk, shaking constantly, messing up the documents on the desk.

He looked very anxious at this time, smoking a thick Cuban cigar, looking at the phone from time to time, until he saw a huge remittance text message popping up on the screen, the wrinkles on his face finally gathered in excitement, Like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Raphael took a sip of the cigar intoxicated, then threw it casually on the bracket beside him, stared at the string of intoxicating numbers carefully, and suddenly stood up, looking up to the sky and laughing.

This huge sum of money is enough for him to fill a cruise ship with the most expensive cigars in the world!
And it took him only three days to earn the money.

He is the boss of a headhunting firm called EPI.

The company's brand name is a senior management agency recruitment agency, that is, it helps other companies or organizations recruit talents in a paid way.

But what EPI is doing behind the scenes is much bigger than this.

Illegally transport contraband or raw materials from abroad, pass through the forests of State M, and then pass through remote villages for sorting and transportation, and finally gather and distribute in State M.

Rafael only needs to recruit manpower to be responsible for receiving and delivering goods. Given the nature of his company, it is quite normal to perform these operations.

For him, the risk is almost zero, and a series of illegal orders is enough to make him a lot of money.

And I just received an order from a big customer, requesting that a certain batch of nano-materials be shipped into country M. The import fee of these advanced materials is extremely expensive, and it will be a very exaggerated expense if they go through customs normally.

So this big customer trust relationship found Rafael's company and described his requirements.

According to the regulations, Raphael not only needs an expensive remuneration, he also needs 5.00% of the derivative value of this batch of materials.

Generally speaking, most customers will feel a little dissatisfied with this condition and argue with Raphael.

But Raphael is an extremely paranoid person, and he will not easily modify the regulations he has set, so these customers usually can only return angrily and acquiesce to this condition.

But this big customer was extremely enthusiastic, and he couldn't help but agree to the conditions proposed by Raphael casually, and also specified a point.

The less time you have, the more you get paid.

Raphael, who had always been arrogant, was also overwhelmed by this guy's arrogance.

He hastily wiped his hands cautiously, then smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the potbellied man, exerting a little force on his knuckles, as if he wanted to hold him firmly, for fear that he would repent.

Raphael did not disappoint him either, and with the utmost strength, it only took three days to send this batch of nano-materials to the private research institute of this big client.

And just now, he received the final payment from this man.

Money is really a magical thing that never makes people feel bored. When he saw the strings of extremely beautiful numbers, Raphael felt that his soul was swimming in the ocean of happiness.

"beep"

At this time, a phone call came suddenly, and Raphael glanced at it. It was one of his subordinates who had been with him for the longest time. His name was Disson. .

"Boss"

Perhaps due to the unstable signal, Disson's voice sounded intermittent and harsh.

"They sent the final payment and told the brothers to go and be happy."

Raphael frowned slightly, but he was in a good mood at the moment, and didn't want to argue with Disson, but lit another cigar and said with a smile.

"Okay boss, how much is it?"

"It's almost our salary for half of last year. It's really exciting."

Raphael couldn't stop smiling. Although he had flaws in his personality, he treated his brothers unambiguously. The word "blessed and shared" was vividly reflected in him.

"What did you just say?"

"Oh, in that village, there was a man named Duka who was fine when he worked with us last time. I just saw him this time. He seems to be crazy."

Disson reacted and said quickly.

"Which village?"

Raphael has a little impression of this name, but he can't remember it for a while.

"Chrome Town."

"I remember"

Rafael frowned, as if he had thought of something, "Duka, is it because the right ear is missing, and the daughter is still disabled?"

Rafael claims to have a good memory. He graduated from a well-known college, majoring in applied mathematics, and sometimes he can even do calculations on bills.

Originally, after graduating, he was full of lofty ideals, but in reality he hit a wall again and again, until he tasted the sweetness in a certain opportunity, and it was out of control.

"It's that Duka."

Disson's voice gradually returned to normal, "But his daughter is not disabled, but has some kind of strange disease and can only lie in the hospital. This kid usually works hard, and I take good care of him."

"It's been less than half a month since the last mission. When I saw him, he was already tied up by the villagers. They were going to hang him on a wooden frame and burn him to death."

"why?"

Listening to Disson's explanation, Raphael suddenly patted his forehead, remembering this man named Duka, and hearing the second half of his sentence, he couldn't help frowning.

"They say he's crazy, totally crazy, to earn extra money as a tour guide for a man, and when he goes into the forest, the man doesn't come back, and Duka comes back, covered in blood, yelling about some black devil, with his pupils It's all gone, like a dead man."

Disson explained it in detail, but it made Raphael feel uneasy, and Duka's honest and old-fashioned face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He remembered the man with the crew cut.

Every time Raphael's men go to these remote villages to pull people, forge a fake identity of a truck driver for them, deliver the goods, and set off according to the planned route. After the event is completed, each driver will get a A handsome reward.

Many of the men in Cromar have worked with Raphael's company.

After a time or two, although the pay is eye-watering, some people will still realize that this is an illegal operation at this time, and refuse Dieson's invitation in fear.

But these illiterate men had all signed agreements with Raphael's company, and in addition to the high status of Disson in the gang, he even had some involvement with the local police department. There will be no whistleblowers.

But Duka is indeed a freak, and Raphael is very impressed with him. He only wants money, and he dares to transport no matter what.

"I couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked a few brothers to untie him from the wooden frame and sent him to the hospital."

Disson's words brought Raphael back to his thoughts, but his tone was a little uneasy, as if he was a little afraid that Raphael would accuse him of meddling in his own business.

"call"

Raphael took a breath and said nothing. After a few seconds, he nodded slowly.

"You did the right thing. He might have been stimulated by something. People in those villages believe in some strange religions. Once something is wrong with someone, they will yell and burn him and send him to hell. Oh, what a shame." pile of freaks"

Raphael licked his lips and suddenly thought of something.

"The black devil wouldn't have seen some beast like a black panther?"

"I don't know, this kid is very bold, how could he be frightened by wild beasts in the forest."

Deason continued, "If he had a gun in his hand, he might even want to pull out the black panther's skin. His daughter's disease is not so curable."

The two suddenly fell into silence. Raphael just smoked his cigar one after another, and Disson's voice began to become a little messy.

New orders pour into Raphael's company every day, so Dison and his staff have been very busy recently, there is no time to rest, and there is even a shortage of manpower.

But making money, no matter how tired you are, is fun.

"What about his daughter? Can he recognize his daughter?"

Raphael took a sharp puff on his cigar and broke the silence.

"I can't recognize him. The doctor forcibly detained him and gave him a sedative."

Disen suddenly laughed, "He yelled for everyone to run away, but he hugged a female nurse, treating her as his own daughter, and wanted to take him away, haha."

"That's really crazy."

Raphael shook his head helplessly, and didn't want to know anything more.

This is often the case in the world. Sometimes suffering will appear one after another, overwhelming you, while some people are born with smooth sailing and stepping up the steps.

Raphael felt deeply about this.

When I was just out of college, I fell out with my family and couldn't find a job. I only had money for a hamburger in my pocket, and I couldn't even afford a bottle of water.

He waited until late at night, squatting by the fountain in the park, drinking the water that kept gushing out, like a homeless wild dog.

How to make Raphael younger, he might ask Disson to find some doctors to take care of Duka.

But he is not who he was all those years ago.

"Boss, everything is ready, and another batch of things can go out."

Dyson said again.

"Okay, I will give you a vacation for a few more orders, and rent a cruise ship to have a good time."

Raphael nodded with satisfaction.

As EPI's reputation in the industry gradually increased and more and more orders came to him, he would naturally not let go of so many opportunities to make money.

"Let it go!! Let it go!! What happened?"

Suddenly there was a faint call from the phone, and Disen pulled the phone away and yelled at a certain location.

"what happened?"

Raphael asked with a frown.

"It seems that someone is causing trouble, don't worry boss, I can handle it."

The voice on Disson's side suddenly became chaotic, as if someone was screaming, accompanied by the faint gunshots and the sound of the wooden box bursting.

The next moment Raphael heard the sound of the phone falling to the ground, which made his eardrums hurt, and subconsciously shouted to the phone:
"Deason?! Deason?!"

"beep"

With a silent beep, the communication was forcibly interrupted.

"Fack."

Rafael frowned and cursed, quickly searched in the address book, and called another subordinate.

This guy should have followed Dison every day, and he was eager to know what happened.

"Boss!"

A few seconds later, this Deason's subordinate picked up the phone, and there was an exclamation.

"What happened? Someone smashed our place?"

Raphael stood up and asked quickly.

He couldn't have imagined that there would be such a vulgar plot of smashing the market and grabbing goods.

The only possibility is what happened in that forest.

"say something!"

Raphael suddenly imagined some terrible possibilities, but there were only heavy gasps in his ears, and the other party seemed to be running fast.

"Boss!! Monsters are killing people!!"

The sound became a little hollow, gunshots mixed with crying and screaming, and these chaotic sounds mixed together, making Raphael feel a little dizzy.

"What are you talking about?!?"

"A black monster resembling a lanky humanoid that has severed the necks of several people."

"Where's Dyson?!"

Raphael yelled.

"Bullets are useless to it! We all run away"

"waste!"

Raphael cursed angrily, and the next moment, the voice suddenly yelled in horror, as if something was running towards him.

Immediately afterwards, Raphael heard some kind of sharp roar.

It's not like the cry of a wild animal at all!
It's more like the tooth-piercing noise made by a sharp blade across a metal surface!

"."

Raphael wanted to say something more, but the words he was about to utter suddenly stuck in his throat, like a bullet stuck in the barrel of a gun.

Because he heard the sound of bones breaking, accompanied by strange sounds of tearing, it seemed that something was chewing on the side of the phone.

Raphael swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a chill was spreading from his palm to his heart.

In the end what happened.

Excluding the possibility of pranks, Raphael suddenly remembered what Disson said earlier.

Black. Devil?

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Disson was sweating profusely, hiding behind a cargo box, fired several shots into the sky, then turned his head to look through the gap in the cargo box——

The tall, dark, strange humanoid monster tore open another person's chest, and the internal organs spewed out along with the blood, like a bright red flower in full bloom.

Disson finally saw the monster's face clearly at this time.

It was similar to a human skull, except that there seemed to be strands of sharp black protrusions crawling between the bones. These protrusions gathered together to form pieces of slowly wriggling tissue all over its body.

It is these black tissues that can block countless bullets.

Deason had shot at it with his men, and they had no idea what the hell it was.

It suddenly rushed out from a certain bush, and instantly tore the neck of a man who was carrying goods.

It wasn't until the glaring blood came into the pupils that Dison realized it. A group of people took out the M1911 pistols hidden in their waists one after another, and shot fiercely at the black shadow.

The power of the M1911 pistol was enough to smash the head of a deer at close range, but the rain of bullets could only make the black shadow retreat uncontrollably, unable to cause any substantial damage.

It pounced forward like a frenzied ferocious beast, its huge force kicked out deep grooves on the ground, but the continuous rain of bullets slowed down its charging speed.

It seemed to be completely enraged, and it let out sharp roars, and jet-black saliva spewed out from the corner of its mouth.

Everyone finished firing a whole tube of magazines, and Disson didn't see a single wound on this guy's body!
For a moment, silent fear instantly filled everyone's heart.

It was as fast as a cheetah, and it was hard to imagine how such a terrifying power could be hidden in that long and thin leg bone like a bamboo pole.

Disson didn't react at all, and the black shadow had already sliced ​​through the body of the frontmost subordinate with a sharp arm bone.

At this time, fear erupted to the greatest extent, and the first screams spread among the crowd, and many people had dropped their things and ran back.

Dyson is certainly no exception.

The sudden appearance of this pitch-black monster broke his original understanding of the world.

And the bullets he is most proud of can only fall on it like raindrops.

This is so fucking outrageous.

What is this?
Synthetics?
Or some kind of mutant beast? ?
Dison was completely in a mess. He ran backwards under the cover of trees and cargo boxes, but he couldn't think of any countermeasures for a moment.

Even guns are useless, so what else is useful? ?

Disson didn't expect that everyone was running for their lives, and the massacre of Sombra had just begun.

With its terrifying speed, he could only silently pray not to be targeted by it.

And every time it kills a person, it will sniff back and forth on this body that is already on the verge of mutilation, as if looking for something.

It's hard to imagine what kind of experience this is. The severe pain forces your nerves to tremble wildly, and the ever-dilated pupils reflect this strange face that is getting closer.

Dison shuddered. His gunshots didn't attract the monster's attention. He could only watch it approach a screaming and running youth.

He licked his trembling lips, subconsciously touched his pocket, and lost his mobile phone in the process of fleeing.

damn
Dison didn't know what sense the monster relied on to perceive its position. It was completely relying on instinct to kill.

After a while, it will completely enter the village, and several people have already run in, roaring.

Some ignorant idiots even cast curious glances at the monster that suddenly slowed down.

God, let these idiots die quickly.

Disson couldn't help but swear, and while the monster was turning his back on him, he hurriedly fled sideways from this unsafe cargo compartment.

Kicking open the door, Dison suddenly rushed into a house in the village. Just as he was taking off his apron, the hostess, who just wanted to go out to find out, froze in place in shock.

"what!!"

"Shut up the fuck!! Close the doors and windows!! Don't go out!!"

Seeing the woman retreating in shock, Disson yelled at her, grabbed the landline phone on the counter, pressed the wrong number several times with trembling fingers, and finally dialed the number.

"Help me find Sheriff Cohen!!"

Disson looked out the window in fear, but the palpitating figure did not appear.

"Dison?"

A man's voice came from the phone.

"It's me, Cohen, listen to me."

Disson picked up the water glass on the table beside him, took a sip, calmed down, and said:

"Chrome Town, a monster ran out of the forest here. It has killed more than a dozen people. Our pistols have no effect on it. The bullets can't penetrate its body at all. Some kind of armor-piercing bullet or blasting may be needed. Dynamite will do"

"Dison? Are you drunk? Today is not April Fool's Day."

A man's thick laughter came from the other end of the phone. He didn't seem to be listening to Disson's words seriously.

"I'm not kidding!! Cohen!!"

Disson yelled at the phone almost with all his strength, "If you don't send someone over, there won't be a living person in this village!! Believe me!! Bring the best weapon!! Come and save people !"

Deason's roar stopped Cohn from laughing.

He had never seen this fearless guy speak in such a tone, and even brought a little cry.

monster
Not even a pistol
What would it be?
If Deason hadn't been drunk, Cohen couldn't imagine how a ghost of this nature could appear in the real world.

"Are you listening to me!!"

"I see, let's go right away!"

Cohen restrained his expression. From Disson's tone, he heard the extremely real fear. This kind of real emotion cannot be hidden. In his impression, Disson is not a bastard who likes to play pranks.

"Use the fastest speed!! Please!"

Dison put down the phone, because he had already seen the figure slowly appearing on the side of the window sill.

With a tremor in his heart, Disson pulled the woman behind him, subconsciously made a silent gesture to her, and made her lower his body. At the same time, Disson also lowered his body, leaned close to the window, and carefully looked out of the window— —

Most of its body was covered with dark red, and thick blood flowed along the gaps of pitch-black gelatin. Disson's pupils shrank, and he suddenly understood something.

This is a human-shaped skeleton. Countless dark substances are adsorbed on this skeleton, filling it into a tall and slender body, about two meters in height. A pair of arms are astonishingly long, and the ends are not palms, but It is a pair of sharp black blades.

It was this pair of sharp blades that had claimed the lives of dozens of people.

A wave of anger rose from the bottom of my heart for no reason, like a blazing flame, burning Disson's heart.

This monster suddenly walked like a toddling old man. Except for the corpse, there was no living person on the road. The living smart people had already hid in the house. This monster seemed to be unable to locate the target for a while, and became dull. stand up.

Then, it yanked across a letterbox standing on the side of the road. Its huge mouth opened, and it grabbed the wooden pole, chewing on the iron cylindrical letterbox.

Not just mailboxes,
Fences, street signs, as long as they are made of metal, this monster chewed them up and swallowed them, like a hungry and crazy tramp.

my God
Disson was completely stunned, the monster had already been attracted by these things, and gave up the idea of ​​killing.

Pairs of eyes are looking at this monster from every hidden corner.

Fear, anxiety, incomprehension, countless emotions flow in everyone's heart.

After an unknown amount of time, a flute sound from afar finally sounded, and Dison, who had been keeping his stooped posture, let out a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.
