Contract and the Demon King

Nearly two hours have passed since the mission started.

The guards who have been leisurely in the city may not be able to understand how much psychological pressure it takes to form a team to investigate outside the city.Because they were far away from the final line of defense, there was no one around except for a few subordinates, only dense forests surrounded them, so it was not surprising that any accidents would happen.

15 minutes have passed since the last scheduled communication.After arriving at the designated location, the fully armed team leader raised his right hand, and the seven-member team immediately stopped on the spot.

"Phew, my God."

One of the team members on the right side of the team leader breathed a sigh of relief. All seven of them couldn't see their faces because they were wearing helmets, masks and goggles, but this did not prevent the team leader from recognizing who this person was.

"Be nervous for me, I'm still on the mission."

The leader responded harshly.

His physique is obviously stronger than other players.Various technical and leadership capabilities are also the best in the team-as a team leader, this is a matter of course.

Even so, the wing energy detector did not respond, which meant that at least there were no man-eating monsters within the detection range of the detector—this was also the most important reason why the team member breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the team leader has a bad feeling.

In this investigation mission, he didn't get much useful information from the chief, but that didn't mean he didn't know anything.In fact, the message had already reached his level, but because there was no conclusive evidence, the message was only for Liu Xuanyi—this was the situation until not long ago.

From the moment the protective cover was broken and the herd of winged beasts invaded the sky, the authenticity of the message became stronger and stronger.

Even though the invading winged beasts had been completely wiped out, the panic of the people could not be completely eliminated. There was also some uneasiness among the soldiers. One of them tried to escape, but was shot dead as a deserter.

"Of order, captain, my daughter is still waiting for me to go back. Of course it is impossible to be negligent in this kind of place."

That team member seems to be a person with good psychological endurance, no, it is because his family is waiting for him, so he can display his strength better.A man with a goal will be strong, and the team leader has always believed in this sentence.

"Speaking of which, doesn't the leader also have a beautiful girlfriend in the city? It seems to be from the weapon maintenance department..."

The slender player standing to the left of the leader adjusted his goggles.Said as if suddenly remembered.

"Hey, don't say this, it's taboo to say this on the battlefield."

"It's okay, there is no technical basis for this taboo. And the team leader often says that men with goals are stronger."

The team members did not listen to the advice of their companions, and did not intend to avoid this topic.Sure enough, young people don't believe in evil, the team member who made the suggestion said so.

It is said that on the battlefield, there is an unwritten curse.

No matter how strong the personal technology is.No matter how extensive the knowledge is, how high the level of wingsuits can be manipulated, these three topics must never be talked about when performing tasks.If you say it, you will be favored by the god of death, the god of luck will leave you, and those who discuss these topics will remain on the battlefield forever.

Although the authenticity of this curse is debatable, but in this kind of place where every bit of luck that can be won must be won, talking about this topic has naturally become a taboo, and soldiers with certain experience will choose to abide by it—— Usually this is the case.

"If it wasn't for the sudden assignment, the team leader and his girlfriend must be preparing for the wedding now. The damn winged beast came at an inopportune time."

"Hey, stop talking, I'm not scaring you. People who talk about other people's girlfriends and going back to their hometown to get married on the battlefield will die on the battlefield."

"Come on, it's just a rumor. Besides, senior, you too. Didn't you just talk about your daughter? It's also taboo to talk about your family waiting for you to go back on the battlefield."

"Uh……"

"Look, the senior also said it."

"That's just involuntary..."

"That's enough. I'm still on the mission. I'll talk about this kind of small talk when I go back."

If you continue to let it go.These two subordinates on good terms would go on and on, so the leader forcibly ended the conversation before it could continue.No interruptions from the start.It is because the tense strings also need to be relieved a little, and this is a safe zone for the time being.

The level of the Winged Beast detector brought this time is very high, as long as the enemy steps into the detection range, the detector will respond.

If possible, the team leader hopes that the reaction that represents danger will never come.After all, nearly half of the mission has been completed so far, as long as the mission is successfully completed...

"The rest time is over, now continue to perform the task."

Moving forward, the seven-member team formed a security formation that had been used countless times. The team leader in the center of the formation held a pen and a notebook in his hand, taking notes while advancing.Winged beasts are not interested in such things that do not have any wing response. Even if they are attacked, the notebook can often be kept.

There are no enemies yet.

"Speaking of—"

There was no response from the detector. After writing the time, the leader looked up.

Then it was discovered that the soldier walking in front had not moved.

"..."

For a moment, the leader was puzzled.

Without his order, the team would not stop, and the probe did not respond, which meant that there were no enemies nearby—it should be so.

So why.

"what……"

Where is his head?

........................

Before the city was fully prepared, the drone finally sent back the latest information.

It represents one of the products of the highest technology in the city at present, and it is dispatched together with all existing ones.Even so, only one came back.There are still obvious scars on the fuselage, and it is obvious that he was able to escape by luck.

After the drone was recovered, the technical department immediately analyzed it.

"This... what is this..."

One of the technicians took a step back, looking at the screen in despair.Although the expressions of the technicians next to him were different, they were not much different.

"Damn it, what is there in this city? This amount is far from what was expected! This is simply..."

"Calm down, report the situation quickly, there is no time to dawdle now."

"Damn!"

One of the technicians slammed the ground and ran away with the terminal. The others did not leave their jobs, but their work efficiency was obviously much lower than before.

"Damn it, are we an oasis in the desert..."

"Hey, there seems to be something here..."

"Huh? What else is there in a drone besides machinery?"

"Well, it should be like this, but..."

The technician looked at the returning drone suspiciously, and the scratches on the drone were clearly visible, but it was more than that.

"It's strange, after withstanding this kind of attack, why can I still fly back."

"Luck, after all, it is the crystallization of the city's cutting-edge technology—"

Then, the technician's pupils were stained with a layer of blood red.
