Crown of Evil

Chapter 12 The Chosen One

The front-line fighters were busier than Rocky had imagined, partly because he and Eugene were the only ones in this newly formed team, and they had to do everything.

Combat simulations, physical training, vehicle repairs, and Rocky's favorite gear maintenance sessions.

"What kind of gun is this! There are so many tubes!" Rocky pointed to a weapon with a very mechanical shape, his face full of excitement.

From the first time he entered the armory to now, he has introduced no less than ten special weapons to Rocky.

Rechargeable cables, counter grenades, blast pistols.
Every time a new weapon is maintained, Rocky will squat aside and listen to Eugene's explanation with an excited expression on his face. The liking in his eyes is not too obvious.

And Eugene also happily answered for him.

"This is a miniature howitzer, and its ammunition is only a circle larger than a rifle bullet."

Well, miniature describes ammunition.

Then Rocky excitedly picked up a new one.

"What about this one!"

Eugene looked at the thing in his hand and almost forgot how to explain it for a moment.

"That's the electric wrench I used to change the tire screws just now."

The two had been teammates for almost a week, and Eugene finally had an inseparable friend.

Every day after get off work, the two of them would go to practice shooting, sometimes at the shooting range of the base, sometimes at the Boiling Point Gun Club, and occasionally Eugene would show Lodge his newly acquired gun.

This kind of life is so beautiful that they even temporarily forget that they are combatants.

"Apartment building on Nancheng Avenue, danger level three! Unnatural Awakened event! The fourth team rushed to the scene!"

The person on the walkie-talkie sounded anxious, and the sound was too loud, causing sporadic distorted electrical sounds.

Rocky and Eugene looked at each other, then quickly got up and prepared to go out, and they were able to change into individual combat armor as quickly as possible.

But Rocky seemed to remember something, and immediately ran back to the armory, and took out the miniature howitzer.

"I'm going to use this!"

Eugene wanted to stop him, but the opponent was running too fast.

Forget it, just use it.

As an experienced combatant, Eugene's driving skills are undeniable, and he can perfectly control the bulky military transport vehicles.

When the two arrived, there was already a quick reaction team fighting at the scene, but the current situation was beyond their control.

As the ororist in this two-person team, Rocky took the position of captain as a matter of course.

He and Eugene ran to the friendly army, wanting to know the details of the current situation.

Rocky arrived at the scene wearing the captain's armband, a simple but reliable combat armor, and the hooded parka Ethan gave him.

"What's the situation now?"

When he asked about the situation, his tone was calm and calm, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the dangerous area.

It's damn reliable.

The captain of the quick response team couldn't help admiring in his heart, but when the captain saw the gun on Rocky's back, he was taken aback and almost knocked down the people around him.

"You don't want to use such a dangerous weapon in the city!"

You don't want me to use it, do you?
Rocky was a little worried, so he grabbed the opponent's hand and showed sincere eyes.

"Please trust the ability and decision-making of the mechanical bird members!"

The captain was convinced by his eyes, and he chose to believe in this comrade who looked much younger than himself, but had a higher position than himself.

At around [-] noon today, the old gentleman who lived on the fourth floor of the apartment heard strange noises from the next door.In order not to affect his nap, he decided to remind his neighbors.

Although the neighbor's door was not locked, the old gentleman knocked on the door politely.

No one responded, but the strange noise became louder and louder.He thought the neighbors hadn't heard, so he opened the door gently.
Then he saw strange creatures from hell.

A huge monster is entrenched in the corner of the room, with a muscular and deformed body.

It was covered with scars all over, and it only had one ear. Its mouth seemed to be torn apart by something. Salivary mixed with blood dripped continuously. A thin chain around its neck was connected to the wall.

The strange sound is made by its tail sweeping against the wall.

In addition, there was a thin man standing at the door.

In the next second, the old man was directly torn to pieces by the monster. All of this was seen by the staff on duty in the monitoring room, who immediately notified the quick response team.

"The monster suddenly became irritable after we arrived, and then spewed out this glow-like ether from his mouth."

The captain of the quick response team explained the situation at the scene to the two of them.

Now the entire residential area has been enveloped by the ether, and the drones that scout the situation can't get in at all. Once they make contact, they will be bounced off.

The unnatural awakeners are different from the door knockers. They refer to those who have never even seen the door of truth, but who have a strong resonance with the ether. The ether that such people come into contact with will become violent and unstable.

At the same time, it means extremely high risk.

Some people say that this is because their souls are too dirty and ugly, so they angered the ether, and Rocky was corrected by Cicada when he first came into contact with this concept.

"It's man-made."

The frequent accidents in the entire Trian Federation were directly subverted by Cicada's explanation.

The fact is that someone has made the victim think they have pushed open the door and seen the true soul essence, when in reality they have not.

False soul essences not only deceive the victim, but also the ether, resulting in the wrong energies going into the wrong vessels and channels.

Finally, Cicada gave a very simple example.

"It's like pouring boiling water down a pipe made of ice."

The end is inevitable destruction.

But why use this method?
"Because I saw a soul longing for an honorable death, dear Brand."

In a tall building not far from the apartment, a man in a suit and leather shoes was holding a cup of coffee and watching everything that happened in the room.

Brand, who was sitting across from him, was rudely grabbing his meal.

He did not refute the absurd words said by the other party, and at the same time looked out of the window from time to time

Because this man gave him power, that power not only helped him complete his revenge on the factory, but also helped him wipe out a quick response team.

Annihilated Eugene's former team.

"What about me, sir." Brand wiped his mouth: "Originally, I should also be burned by the ether, but why did I survive?"

Hearing this, the man in the suit put down his cup and leaned forward, staring seriously at Brand's eyes.

"Because you are the chosen one, the scorching ether recognized you!"

Then he saw Rocky and Eugene rushing to enter Xiaguang, with an expectant smile on the corner of his mouth, and unconsciously began to rub his earlobe with his right hand.

"Now the arena has been set up, the audience has been seated, and the opponent is about to take the stage."

"Let's see if the winner of this game will become the next chosen one."
