Half an hour later, in a storage room underground in the Wildfire Tavern.
"Sir, this is where we temporarily store monster corpses."
Paul came to a row of cabinets and said.
As he reached out and opened one of the cabinets, a cold air spread from it.
He put the three giant rat corpses into it one by one. This scene looked very weird. Combined with the freezers, it made people feel like they were in a hospital morgue.
"Your Excellencies... there is something I have been curious about for a long time. I wonder if I can ask..."
After doing all this, Paul turned around and asked with some anxiety.
"You tell me."
"Okay, about those mutant beasts, where did they come from... What's the use of organizing these corpses...?"
After that, he quickly added: "Well, I just asked out of curiosity. If it's not convenient for you to tell me, forget it. I actually don't want to know that much..."
Hu Peng stared at him and thought that this guy was still very curious, but these things were not secrets, so it didn't matter if he told him.
He immediately said: "You do care about these things, but since you are from the Wildfire Tavern, it doesn't hurt to tell you some things."
"As for the origin of the mutant beasts, the organization is currently investigating. I believe you can tell this from those tasks."
"What we can be sure of now is that these things are definitely 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 for a moment when he said this. He couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw the other party's appearance of listening intently to some kind of confidential information.
However, his face remained calm and he continued seriously:
"As for the use of these corpses, it involves some things within the organization, so 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 organizations, so you must not be careless when preserving them, and you must also pay attention to yourself. safety."
What he said made Paul very excited, and he felt like he knew a great secret.
But this is how excited he is now when he just saw X.
If you calm down and think about it carefully, you will find that in fact, most of what Hu Peng said is just what he can guess on the surface.
As for the real key information, not a word was revealed.
"Thank you both for your trust. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard and use my life to protect the property of the organization!"
Paul said confidently.
Hu Peng and Xun You just smiled and naturally did not take each other's words seriously.
"Okay, we have a basic understanding of the situation here. Where is Weiss? He asked us to come here today because he said he had important information to share, so why haven't we met him yet?"
Xun You said doubtfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, a person suddenly ran in from the entrance of the basement.
Everyone turned to look, but it was said that Cao Cao had arrived, and the person who came was none other than Weiss, the former member of the Wildfire Team and now the apparent owner of the Wildfire Tavern.
Wes was holding on to the door frame while still panting slightly. It was obvious that he had just undergone strenuous exercise.
"Hey, Chenghuang, Fudou, it turns out you are here..."
He said in less fluent Chinese:
"I'm very sorry, I'm late. I really didn't expect that I would be stuck in a traffic jam on the streets of Erault. God knows why there are so many cars today!"
Xun You smiled and said, "Winter is coming soon. It's the peak season for tropical beach tourism. It's normal for there to be more people. Weiss, why are you so busy calling us here?"
"Oh, that's it. I found a strange thing, but I can't see what it does, but I believe you will be more interested in it."
…
Ten minutes later, in an office on the third floor of the pub.
Xun You was squatting on the ground and observing a small box placed on the coffee table in front of him. Inside the box was a strange-looking fragment.
This fragment looks a bit like it fell off a certain building. It has a conical appearance, a black main body, and red lines painted on it.
"There are dark energy fluctuations, Weiss, where did you find this?"
Xun You turned to look at Weiss.
"This was provided by a lone hunter named Sizhar. Also sent over was the body of a mutant snake. According to him, this thing was seen between the gaps in the snake's scales."
"Gap between scales? How big is this snake?"
"It's a little smaller than the one we met last time, but it shouldn't be a problem to swallow me in one bite."
"You just said this man is a lone hunter?"
"Yes." Weiss shrugged and said, "To be honest, although that guy Xizal is a bit withdrawn, his strength is nothing to say, but he was able to hunt this level of monster alone this time. , I also didn’t expect it.”
"What about the body of the mutant snake? Have you ever asked him where the snake was found?"
"The body is now in a warehouse. As for the place where the snake appeared, we also investigated and found nothing unusual."
"Okay, we'll take us to see the snake's body later. Maybe we can find some clues from it. I don't know."
Xun You said, looking at the fragment again, and after thinking for a moment, 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!"
"Moreover, this fragment gives me a very bad feeling... When I look at it, I can feel the dark energy rolling in my body, and it seems to be able to affect my energy..."
He closed the box suddenly.
"There's definitely something weird about this thing! We'd better seal it up first."
Hu Peng on the side also nodded and said: "Yes, I feel the same way. Weiss, have you come into contact with this fragment before?"
Wes shook his head.
"No, although I don't have dark energy, my sixth sense is very accurate. After seeing it again, I felt that it was not a good thing, so I kept a distance from it and never opened the box. .”
Xun You affirmed: "Yes, you have done a good job. Faced with these unknowns, you must remain vigilant."
He paused and asked again:
"By the way, has anyone else touched this fragment besides you?"
"This one no longer exists. After Xizhaer gave me the shredded skin, I felt something was wrong, so I sealed it in the box and kept it."
"That's good. Now, take us to the warehouse to take a look. When you're done, go and see that Sizal. I have something I want to ask him face to face."
Xun You made a decision.
He and Hu Peng have recently been responsible for investigating the mutant beasts, especially the area in Erault, which is the breeding base of sunflowers and cannot be missed.
However, although the number of mutant beasts is increasing, their origin has always been a mystery.
Even Xing Chunqi used some of the black technology in the organization and couldn't find any clues. The other party was like a ghost, leaving no trace at all.
But after Tina's analysis, these genetically mutated mutant beasts are 90% likely to be man-made, and everything is pointing in the same direction.
There is indeed a pair of invisible black hands behind this.
Now, the number of mutant beasts is growing crazily. Originally, they were only in Eero and the United States, but recently, their traces can be found almost all over the world.
To this end, many countries have begun investigations.
While humans are facing alien species, there are actually many more threats from native planets, which makes many people very worried.
Looking at the silver-white storage box in front of him, Xun You had a vague premonition in his heart.
It seems that this time they found some important clues.
"Perhaps, the guy who caused everything can no longer hide himself..."
He was thinking about the information about mutant beasts when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.
"what happened?"
Hu Peng obviously heard it too. Both of them had strengthened their physiques and their hearing became extremely sharp.
Wes was the only one in the room who still looked confused.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
The door was opened immediately and Paul hurried in.
"What's going on outside?"
Paul looked at the three people in the room and explained:
"Something seems to have happened on the beach outside. When I was outside just now, I saw many people running from that direction, shouting 'monster' while running. The direction is to the northeast of us, which should be Kuli Beach. side!"
"Monster!?"
The three of them were stunned, and immediately thought of alien species and mutant beasts.
"Go and see!"
Hu Peng shouted loudly and stepped forward instantly, passing by Paul like a gust of wind.
Xun You was not to be outdone, and immediately Wes and Paul were the only two people left in the room.
"Watch what I do, let's go."
Wes spread his hands towards Paul, who had a stunned look on his face, and then passed him and walked straight out of the door.
Outside, on the street.
It's already a chaotic scene here.
The crowds fled in the opposite direction. Fortunately, it was lunch time and there were not too many people, otherwise it would have caused a serious stampede.
"Monsters! There are monsters! Oh my God, there are monsters fighting over there!"
"Everyone, run!"
"Help! Help! Someone save my daughter! She is trapped on the island!"
"Don't push me! My leg is hurt!"
"Run! Help!"
"..."
A series of frightened screams reached the ears of Hu Peng and Xun You. They looked at the crowd running in front of them and already had guesses about what happened on the other side of the beach.
The two of them were like lightning, running against the crowd towards Kuli Beach in the northeast.
If they encounter a crowded and small place on the road, they will also stage a parkour scene that is only seen in movies, and their movements look extremely cool.
It's just that no one has the intention to stop and appreciate this scene. Everyone is frightened by the monster over there.
Even those who have not seen the monster with their own eyes will still run for their lives amidst the frightened screams of others, completely unaware of what is happening.
The two of them were blessed with twenty points of physical fitness and 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 visited here before.
But now, the scenery on the beach is no longer the same as before.
Parasols and deck chairs fell to the ground, and the items on the ground were left behind when the crowd fled in panic. They looked dirty.
At this time, the two of them noticed that not far from the beach, there were still some bold guys standing in place and did not leave with the crowd.
They are all young people, wearing swimsuits and sunglasses, obviously here for vacation.
Now, these people are staying in a place that they think is relatively safe. They have mobile phones in their hands, their screens are pointed at the seaside, and they are filming a battle not far away.
About a hundred meters away from them, there were two huge figures entangled together.
Hu Peng saw that of these two monsters, one was a sea snake-like monster and the other was a huge lizard.
The lizard looks very strange, about seven meters long and three meters high, with six legs and its whole body covered with yellow scales. Its wide dorsal fin looks extremely sharp, shining with a cold light like a sharp knife.
The other sea snake looked much more normal. Its appearance was similar to that of an ordinary water snake, but it was obviously much larger, with a body of at least ten meters long.
At this time, the sea snake was fighting fiercely with the lizard.
The snake's body was wrapped around the lizard's body, but considering the sharp dorsal fin of the other party, it only dared to wrap its body around the lower body of the lizard, as if it wanted to trip the other party.
The lizard also had a fierce expression, its sharp teeth and claws clawing and biting at the sea snake's scales crazily.
Its movements are extremely agile and not as cumbersome as it appears on the surface.
The battle between the two monsters was extremely fierce, and the sea water flew in all directions with their attacks, as if they were adding gorgeous special effects to the battle.
"Come on! Bite it to death!"
"Kill the snake! The immortal lizard!"
"Cool! Let's use a big move! Let's see how powerful you are!"
On the side, the young people watching the game were not satisfied with just filming, and even started to cheer.
Hu Peng came to them and said to several people: "Get out of here quickly! Those monsters are very dangerous!"
When the young men heard what he said, they just glanced here, and then quickly moved their eyes to the two fighting monsters, ignoring them at all.
"Who are you! If you want to escape, run away on your own! Don't get in the way here, coward!"
One young man even threw a dissatisfied complaint at them.
