Origin of Mars

Chapter 70 Capture
A CH-87 Condor helicopter is crossing the vast forest below.

After that, two similar helicopters whizzed by, the wings rolled up in strong winds, and the dense canopy danced wildly, like a group of devout believers worshiping to the sky.

"It's still 2.1 kilometers away from the target site, and the visibility is good, and no abnormalities have been found."

The pilot wearing black sunglasses said into the headset.

"Check the gear again, my old fellas."

Black nodded, shouted in the team channel, immediately took a step forward, poked his head out from the open door, and looked carefully at the vast green ocean.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there was some kind of weird bloodthirsty devil hidden under this beautiful scenery.

Black once shot the deformed monster's head in the Yerudel research base.

His rich combat experience in the past also allowed him to obtain the commander-in-chief of the team in this pioneering operation.

Under the feet, and in the two vulture helicopters behind them, there were six team members, including Black himself, and two research scholars responsible for collecting data.

These soldiers are all elite special combat fighters in the Sea Eagle Commando, and now, they are all dispatched by STH.

For a while, in a corner that most people can't see, the world seems to have suddenly changed.Countless bearings seemed to spin faster, driving many processes forward.

This made Blake feel strange like never before.

But excellent military quality still makes Black follow orders unconditionally.

Although he, as the commander-in-chief of the team, can still know some internal information, but this information is only limited to the superficial level.

Even about the monster that exploded in the research base, Black is not qualified to know too much information.

The only thing he knew was that the officials had made it clear to him that this was not the product of some kind of biochemical or genetic modification experiment, and required Black and his entourage to keep absolute secrecy.

What would it be?
Aliens?

Facing the violent wind, Blake looked towards the border of this forest sea. It had turned into a black box invisible to the naked eye, which was the starting point of their departure.

The villages and towns around this forest, as well as some tribes, have been demobilized and resettled in another area.

These dangerous places are currently under the full authority of STH. High-density polyester film tents used as temporary bases have successively filled them, and military trucks carrying scientific research equipment come and go.

In a sense, this forest has become a forbidden area for life.

Black has never seen such a big posture. Even to deal with the most dangerous terrorists, he only needs to give a precise positioning, and the X84 bomber that takes off from the aircraft carrier will blow them into pieces.

There may be secrets related to those monsters hidden in this forest.

Blake was sure of that.

"Sir, there is still about 0.7 kilometers away from the target location, and it is already within our visibility."

the pilot said again.

At this moment, Black had already seen some unusual sights in a certain area ahead.

The originally dense forest sea seemed to have been eaten away, and the tall trees were crooked, revealing a rough and hideous mud surface.

The information Black got was that this is an ancient ruin located underground. At this time, it should have undergone some kind of mutation, the degree is uncertain, but the only thing that can be determined is that absolute caution is required, because the information in this ruin It may have exceeded everyone's imagination.

"Two professors, check your equipment, we need to land."

Blake withdrew his gaze and said into the walkie-talkie.

"Understood, Mr. Black."

A steady voice came from the channel.

"Others, check your equipment again! Especially the ammunition! If you encounter those monsters again, based on the current situation, ordinary bullets will have no effect on them!"

Black's eyes gradually became stern, and his tone was urgent: "We must use special armor-breaking hollow-point bullets! Only in this way can we kill them to some extent!"

Putting the clip of the SCAR automatic rifle on top heavily, Blake touched the body of the brown poisonous snake, even through thick gloves, he could feel the silky texture of the surface of the gun body.

Then come on, try our means.

The ferocious face of the monster that was raging in the research room suddenly appeared in front of Blake's eyes.

It was the stuff of any nightmare, eerie and terribly evil.

Blake could even recall the scarlet blood dripping all over the place, and the stumps and torsos flying everywhere.

But these images did not cause any fluctuations of fear in his heart, on the contrary, it was a kind of extreme calm, and in the depths of this calm was violently boiling anger.

Black can't wait to blast their heads with a shot.

Several helicopters slowly stopped at a certain position above the forest.

They circled around and finally found an area where they could land, about a few kilometers away from the ruins.

The team led by Black needs to go on foot.

The helicopter suspended at about ten meters slowly lowered the down rope, and everyone quickly landed on the ground along this rope. The strong wind swept up the fallen leaves all over the sky, revealing a thick layer of corrosion, and countless unknown insects were fleeing in a panic.

"Give it to me, Professor Harqui."

Black took over the huge black bag dropped by Harui, which contained a complete set of detection equipment, which was an important tool for collecting data this time.

"Thank you."

Harkui and another man named Cohen successfully landed on the ground with the help of several team members, showing a bit embarrassed expression.

"fine."

Blake nodded at him. The black bag was carried on his back, which looked huge, but the weight was only light for him.

In fact, the general purpose of this operation is to investigate the situation of the ruins and collect as much data as possible.

Black got the same order, to protect the two professors to inspect the ruins on the spot.

If the deformed monster is found again, destroy it and bring back a complete corpse sample.

So the two of them are the core of this operation, and Black knows this very well.

According to the requirements, the two professors wrapped their bodies tightly and talked with the team members through headsets.

Black and other soldiers were still wearing the familiar assault suits, which was their usual attire.

Black took the lead and walked at the front of the team. The other team members protected the two professors in the center of the team. After confirming the direction through the equipment, they set off immediately.

"Professor Ha Kui, we are still 4 kilometers away from our destination."

Blake reminded.

He was a little worried about the physical strength of the two experts, but judging from the way they lowered the slide, his worries were obviously unnecessary.

"Okay, Mr. Black, we should pay more attention to our surroundings."

Harqui replied, "Because we can't be sure whether some kind of mutation has occurred in this forest."

"You mean those monsters?"

"Yes, our current guess is that the underground ruins have become a hotbed, and it can use some special means to create these monsters."

"It was the worst possible idea, and if it happened, the forest wouldn't be so quiet."

Cohen added.

"understood."

Blake nodded slightly.

The team continued to move forward. It was only their almost instinctive ability to keep a keen eye on the surrounding environment. The special goggles with night vision capabilities were enough for them to see any dark area in this forest.

The forest was surprisingly quiet, only the faint sounds of animals sounded from time to time.

Black could even hear his own heartbeat, like a steady snare drum, proof that he was alive.

The only thing he was afraid of was whether a ferocious deformed monster would suddenly appear from a certain corner.

Because he had seen the speed and strength of this monster with his own eyes, its frontal impact was no less than the impact of a car, enough to crush ribs and shatter internal organs.

Until the scene in front of him continued to change, what Black was most worried about did not happen. On the contrary, the forest was still very quiet, and Black even saw some deer walking through the bushes.

These deer seemed to be very sensitive, and when they saw them, they immediately fled in all directions, as if they saw some devil.

Keep going.

When Blake pushed aside a branch blocking the way, several small brown voices suddenly appeared in front of him, accompanied by a few roars of dissatisfaction. These beasts had disappeared, leaving only flies flying all over the sky.

"It's the coyote, the scavengers of the forest."

Harqui said slowly, "Can you see what that is, Mr. Black."

"It's the carcass of an animal."

During the speech, Black had already stepped over, covered his nose, and came to the corpse.

"It looks like a stag, Professor Harqui."

Blake looked at the body that was almost in pieces, covered with bite marks of different shades.

Ha Kui didn't seem to smell the stench at all, walked to Black's side, bent down, picked up a slightly harder wooden stick, and carefully inspected the extremely decomposed corpse.

Black looked around cautiously, the green pupils of the hyenas were looming in the dark, they seemed to be wondering why these sudden monkeys were interested in this pile of rotten meat.

They don't have the guts to attack humans, let alone a fully armed special team. The cold guns slung in their hands are the endorsement of death.

Admiring Haruki's endurance, Blake took a few steps back calmly. After a few minutes, Haruki in front of him finally stood up.

"Mr. Black, this stag has several extremely exaggerated tear wounds on its body. Even a Bengal tiger in the forest couldn't inflict such neat wounds."

"It's like tearing apart two blank sheets of paper. This buck was torn in half by tremendous force."

Harvey made a very simple move.

"Is it that monster?"

Black quickly guessed what Haruki wanted to say.

"Yes, we've done conceptual simulations of its power, and it's tearing this buck as easily as we're tearing this leaf."

Ha Kui found a leaf from the side, and slowly tore it apart in front of Black's eyes.

"This leaf vein is like the bone in the deer's body. The mesophyll attached to the leaf vein is like the fleshy tendon growing on the bone, and it is even more complicated."

"Unimaginable power."

Blake's tone was a little heavy.

"As far as I know its parasite is a human skeleton?"

"Yes."

Ha Kui nodded, "So now we can conclude that the second deformed monster should have been born from that ruin, and came to that village along the forest."

"How did it leave this forest?"

Black suddenly asked, "I mean, does it have some sort of positioning system on it?"

"No, it's some kind of sensory organ. This kind of mutated deformed body is very sensitive to metal bodies, just like drugs in the eyes of addicts, which will make them fall into absolute madness."

Cohen replied that he was photographing and collecting the corpse and the surrounding environment, and a string of messy marks were left in the soft soil, which was in the shape of a foot bone.

"Go on."

Blake's gaze jumped over the corpse and looked towards a dim location ahead.

The thick soles of the feet rolled over the fallen leaves again, and the team continued to move forward.

The coyotes hiding in the dark can finally return to the corpse and start feasting. Their sharp teeth cut through the rotting flesh, and the disgusting smell is the most delicious paean to them.

The road ahead became more and more muddy, and Black saw layers of mud oozing out on both sides, thick and ferocious tree roots emerged from the ground, and huge tree trunks slanted downward, blocking a large area of ​​light.

"There was a heavy rain here, and this rain has destroyed this piece of soil very fragile."

Harqui walked cautiously into the rugged area, looking up at the woods.

And at this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed down from above, rushing towards Ha Kui with a sound of breaking the wind!
"Oh!"

Blake, who had been paying attention to Ha Kui's side, rushed over in an instant, slashing at the shadow with the saber in his hand, and at the same time took advantage of the momentum to push Ha Kui back hard!
Ha Kui staggered and fell to the ground, splashing mud.

And this black shadow avoided the gleaming dagger in Black's hand in the air, and stagnated on the tree trunk on the other side.

"hiss!"

Blake finally saw the specific appearance of this guy, it was a deformed creature with six legs, it was black, hairless, just a pair of round eyes without pupils.

Even though there were no pupils, Black felt that this strange creature was staring at him.

"Be careful, there's something wrong with this damn thing!"

Black took a few steps back, retracted the blade to his waist, and loaded his gun in an instant. All the soldiers behind him had already drawn their guns, aiming at this strange creature that seemed to be stationary on the tree trunk.

As long as Black gives an order, or fires the first shot, all the armor-piercing bullets will pierce through this creature in an instant, and even directly smash this giant tree into pieces.

"no no!"

Harqui's voice rang in Black's ear, accompanied by a faint electromagnetic sound.

"Mr. Black, this is a living body! It's a parasitic living body!"

Ha Kui's voice was trembling a little, he got up from the ground and stretched out his hands, as if he was comforting these cold guns, or this creature.

"Catch it! Mr. Black!"
