Knowing that Cui Xinghua might be in an accident, Xia Xu did not dare to delay any longer. He made some inquiries about Gardner's internal situation, explained to Zhao Ming, and then called Grant and Atuo to go up the mountain.
Twelve spider-like predators guarded the left and right, flowing in all directions. Under Xia Xu's unconscious anxious mood, they moved very fast, like a mechanical army surging forward, which made people's scalp numb.
"Who is the villain in this battle?"
Grant twitched his lips.
This domineering and arrogant arrogance, this feeling of swaggering through the city surrounded by his younger brothers, was something he had never seen before in his many years of traveling.
"Someone!"
Along the way, they soon met the search team from Gardner Mental Hospital.
"Do it."
Without any hesitation, Grant took the lead and nailed the searcher who discovered them to the tree trunk with an arrow.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The spider-like predators scattered around Xia Xu also jumped out from corners and canopies. The sharp spider legs and mouth chelicerae were still deadly weapons, and the silent attack took away the lives of three people in an instant.
Both of them moved very quickly.
It's not good to be unhappy. After all, if these people shout loudly, all the surrounding search personnel will definitely gather here, and they will definitely not be able to gain any favor by then.
Don’t forget that these people all have firearms. The tranquilizer gun is only slightly less lethal, but its threat to living things is even greater. This can be seen from the fact that these people use it to hunt down the ‘giants’.
"You can't tell, you were quite decisive in your attack."
Grant was slightly surprised when he saw Xia Xu calmly moving on after dealing with the three of them.
He was a little worried just now that Xia Xu might not dare to be cruel.
He has been traveling around various places to hunt werewolves all year round, and has long been used to life and death. For him, this is of course just a small scene now, but Xia Xu is just an ordinary student who was in high school a few months ago.
These are all living people, fundamentally different from the werewolves from the last chapter. They are neither 'monsters', and the scenes and corpses when they died were also bloody.
He personally killed people, and his reaction was so dull. Either he had a strong psychological quality, or this was not the first time. He felt that he should probably take a closer look at his impression of Xia Xu.
"Since these people can participate in the pursuit with guns, they are definitely insiders and participants. There is no need for mercy."
Xia Xu thought Grant was surprised by the ruthlessness of his attack, so he kept walking and explained casually.
Whether it is a tranquilizer gun or a live ammunition gun, there is actually no difference in meaning between the two. They are both weapons for carrying out violence.
If they were shot and fell into Gardner's hands, death would probably be the best outcome.
Since this group of people worked for Gardner and were able to come out with firearms to hunt down giant test subjects like Zhao Ming, they must have known about Gardner's experiments on giant glands with patients and these teenagers.
For this reason alone, Xia Xu did not have any psychological burden when he committed a fatal blow.
"Speed up a little bit."
Worried that Cui Xinghua really had an accident, Xia Xu quickened his pace again.
Killing all the mountain searchers they encountered along the way, and taking advantage of the time lag that they were not noticed for a while, the two men and one dog successfully opened a hole in the blockade of the mountain searchers. The dim lights of the mountaintop mental hospital were already in front of them.
But apart from the mountain searchers, they also found no trace of Cui Xinghua or other giant experimental subjects along the way.
"Have you escaped successfully? Or were you captured?"
Xia Xu frowned and thought in silence.
"You're here, let's go in and take a look. Anyway, I still want to investigate the werewolf thing."
Compared to Xia Xu, who is used to thinking carefully about everything, Grant is very straightforward.
"Yes, it's here."
Xia Xu chuckled lightly and drove the spider-like predator to sneak into the mental hospital quietly for a preliminary investigation.
The arachnid predator is only the size of a basketball, can walk on the ground, and is dead, so it is relatively stealthy when moving, and many images are quickly transmitted back.
Although I had been here during the day last time, but now when I peeked in the dark, I saw a different scene.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere inside, and there are many patrols and sentries both overt and covert, making it look like it is heavily guarded.
In the wilderness, the mental hospital is deserted and lonely under the dark night, and there seems to be an inexplicable chill in the surrounding darkness.
After figuring out the layout of some patrols and secret sentries, Xia Xu and Grant successfully entered the Gardner Mental Hospital around gaps and blind corners.
"Where to go now?"
Grant asked Xia Xu in a low voice.
The interior of the mental hospital is very vast and has a large number of buildings, which reduces the possibility of them being discovered, but also makes their exploration difficult.
"Go over there first."
Xia Xu has a clear goal.
The last time he came to visit Cui Xinghua, he had memorized most of the terrain he passed through with his photographic memory, and his smart glasses also contained some of Gardner's public map information.
Combined with Zhao Ming's scattered words, he could easily locate the entrance where they escaped.
Gardner could do some tricks on the patients, but it was impossible to expose a real giant experimental subject like Zhao Ming to the public. For the sake of concealment, underground facilities were naturally used.
There is a huge experimental base underground in the entire mental hospital, and some entrances and pipes are connected to the patient wards. Zhao Ming and others rushed out from the ward building where Cui Xinghua was located.
As for the whole incident, although he still hasn't seen the plot, through Zhao Ming's description and some guesses, he actually has a pretty good grasp of it.
Zhao Ming and the people he calls Hong Yan, Xu Zhaoxin and others are all giant experimental subjects kidnapped from Gardner Mental Hospital, or they are the ones who survived and had the most successful experiments.
Cui Xinghua's role in this is that of an explorer and helper. His previous hospitalization was obviously just a disguise.
The abnormally fatal brain tumor surgery should have made Cui Xinghua aware of something. When he learned that the situation in Gardner Mental Hospital happened to be hit by medical trouble, he was unwilling to take advantage of the situation and came here to investigate the truth.
Here Cui Xinghua pretended to be crazy on the surface, but secretly kept investigating the mental hospital, and finally accidentally discovered the underground experimental base and Zhao Ming and others through the ventilation duct.
And despite being extremely crude and with his own hands damaged, Cui Xinghua still miraculously removed the special device Gardner used to control their giant experimental subjects for Zhao Ming and others.
According to Zhao Ming's description, the device implanted in their bodies is very similar to the spine of a mechanical centipede. It can forcibly control their actions and execute various punishments. The control power is very powerful.
But because of this, Gardner's precautions against these experimental subjects were much laxer. After the control device was taken out by Cui Xinghua, they were caught off guard and had physical advantages that allowed them to forcefully break out of the experimental base.
One of the key points is Cui Xinghua, and the other key point is Hong Yan in Zhao Ming's mouth. According to him, Hong Yan is the latest giant experimental subject and the strongest one among them. His physical performance is far beyond ordinary.
people.
From Xia Xu's perspective, this giant named Hong Yan is probably the protagonist of the "Giant" plot. He gained strength and escaped smoothly with his friends.
Cui Xinghua is the helper he met along the way. At best, he is an unsung hero; at worst, he is a stepping stone.
The protagonist will naturally escape successfully, but we don’t know what the consequences of this stepping stone will be.
