In fact, when Wang Bing suddenly pulled out his gun and fired a hail of bullets into the empty space behind him, the investigation team fell into chaos.
All of this was actually quite sudden.
He had just heard Yi Lin whisper that someone was quietly following him behind him.
Wang Bing didn't believe it at first.
As an annual outstanding graduate of the Special Warfare Section, he didn't even notice something. How did Yi Lin, a young guy, find out about it?
And he is still a young man who has just graduated from high school and has not yet had time to enter the special warfare department for further study?
But when Wang Bing used professional reconnaissance methods to investigate Qing Mimi's surroundings, he quickly accepted this fact in shock.
Around the investigation team...
There are "outsiders".
And there's more than one.
Although he didn't know how Yi Lin discovered it, Wang Bing made the most professional judgment after confirming this fact.
When in doubt... follow instructions.
In this investigation team and special service team configuration, Yi Lin is the superior hidden in the dark.
So the scene happened not long ago.
"Don't worry, there's no one over there for now."
Wang Bing looked around doubtfully, but saw a child-like figure flashing past in the thick fog.
illusion?
Wang Bing rubbed his eyes.
The child's figure disappeared in an instant.
After everything was dealt with, Wang Bing carefully came to Yi Lin and Mo Li with his gun in hand.
In an instant, Wang Bing was so shocked that he was speechless by the blood and broken meat all over the ground.
Eyes, eyes, dumbfounded.
Of course, the reason for his shock was slightly different from Molly's.
He didn't think the scene was too violent.
The reason why Wang Bing was shocked... was that Yi Lin was able to create such a scene on her own.
"this……"
Yi Lin didn't want to explain too much and directly interrupted Wang Bing, who was full of doubts: "Look at the pile on the ground...can you recognize who they are?"
Two people? Three people? Four people?
Wang Bing used his professional eyes to quickly determine the number of enemies represented by the "corpses" on the ground.
"Four kills?"
Wang Bing finally had to accept this terrible fact.
This "little young man" who seems to be ordinary and harmless to humans and animals is actually a terrifying existence that is hidden deep inside.
He suddenly remembered a legend.
The special group...are all monsters.
So those people are the special group.
Not just dedicated to handling "exceptions".
themselves——
Also "abnormal".
Wang Bing took the shortest time to calm down and squatted on the ground to identify carefully.
In fact, it is undoubtedly difficult to determine the identity of the enemy from the pile of minced meat.
But Yi Lin tried her best to preserve the integrity of her head, just to make it easier for Wang Bing to identify the body.
If most of the head... can be considered complete.
"Two or three white people and one black person..."
Wang Bing muttered: "They are from abroad."
"Huh?" Yi Lin could see this at a glance: "What else?"
"I'm afraid they are special soldiers from outside the Dragon Kingdom."
After Wang Bing completed the identification, he stood up with a solemn expression.
Yi Lin did not express an opinion and listened quietly to Wang Bing's judgment.
"They are wearing the latest type of 'gamma-type military camouflage clothing', which is covered with complex elements... that can automatically refract the surrounding light, and to a certain extent, can almost reach the point of 'invisibility'. Of course.
, I think Miss Molly should know better about the structure and principle of this kind of camouflage clothing."
"The point is..." Wang Bing said with a bitter smile: "This thing is very strictly controlled. Even the killers and mercenaries in the underground world cannot get it so easily."
"The five-man tactical team configuration is also the most classic team configuration that is still used today. Of course, the most important point is..."
Wang Bing raised his head, stared into Yi Lin's calm eyes, and expressed his judgment: "Mercenaries and killers will not commit suicide casually."
"It makes sense. It's the same as my guess."
Wang Bing: "?"
Yi Lin smiled slightly and said: "One thing, I wonder if you have ever thought about it. A standard tactical team with a total of five people... Why are there four people on our side, but there is only one person on your side?"
"Could it be..."
Wang Bing's pupils shrank suddenly.
Yi Lin smiled and asked, "Can you guess at the beginning that I can kill four times?"
Wang Bing slowly shook his head.
"That's it, even you can't guess it, and these people certainly can't guess it. Don't forget, you are also a five-man tactical team with standard equipment..."
"Either these people think that Molly and I are more threatening..."
"Either..." Yi Lin sighed softly: "Our side is more important."
Swish.
Yi Lin and Wang Bing looked at Molly at the same time.
"Wait a minute..." Molly, who had been silently listening to the two men analyzing the case, saw the two men suddenly looking at her at the same time. She thought for a moment and widened her eyes: "Their target is actually... me?
?”
…
…
The three of them returned to the team.
Yi Lin and Mo Li looked as if nothing had happened, and under Yi Lin's instructions, Wang Bing did not publicize Yi Lin's "four kills" achievement.
After Wang Bing found an excuse to fool him, he went to dispose of the body of the deceased.
Although other members of the investigation team experienced a period of chaos, it did not have too serious an impact in the end and soon fell back into busy observation work.
After all, no man's land is synonymous with "danger", and they had already realized this before joining the investigation team. This little incident did not reduce their enthusiasm for the investigation, but instead made the investigation team's momentum a lot higher.
At the same time, I am also glad that this investigation trip was escorted by a special service team.
Molly originally joined this investigation team just to find an excuse to come to Qingcheng. With Yi Lin, a "living experiment material" closely related to the "Tower", Molly didn't have much enthusiasm for the investigation.
After fooling around for a few times, he quietly touched Yi Lin's side.
"Tell me, how did you find those people wearing camouflage clothes?"
The most advanced gamma-type military camouflage clothing is covered with complex optical elements. In terms of light effect, it is extremely close to the point of "invisibility". Molly is very curious about how Yi Lin discovered it.
When Yi Lin held her little hand, Molly really thought that Yi Lin was taking advantage of her at first.
But when I think about it carefully, something is wrong. When the two of them are alone, Yi Lin doesn't even bother to look at her unless she has something to do. Isn't it because of the heavy emphasis on "in full view of everyone"?
After experiencing the initial shock and embarrassment, Molly soon noticed that Yi Lin was writing in her palm.
So...there is the "peeing" scene at the end.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
Anyway, this wasn't the first time, Molly suddenly felt that her acting skills seemed to be improving rapidly.
Yi Lin smiled and said, "Have you forgotten?"
"Huh?" Molly was startled.
Then in an instant she noticed that an invisible "tentacle" quietly touched her face.
Molly understood immediately.
That is Yi Lin's "ability".
"My perception range is about 21 meters. As long as something is moving within this range, it is almost impossible to escape my perception."
"Where are those bloodshot eyes? What's going on? Is there a genetic mutation?"
Molly couldn't help but ask again.
At the same time, I also secretly marveled at Yi Lin's endless "superpowers".
"Haha." Yi Lin smiled.
"?" Molly typed a question mark.
"Prohibited matters."
"!"
No one noticed that when Yi Lin came back, a white child's shadow silently merged into Yi Lin's body.
Bai Xiaoyi.
When Yi Lin sensed the existence of those "invisible people", she secretly used the spirit-enchanted weapon's built-in skill [Spirit Summoning] to release Xiao Bai.
If this shadow appeared from Yi Lin in broad daylight in full view of everyone, it would definitely scare people out of their wits.
But in the gray fog, Bai Xiaoyi's spiritual body was almost transparent, and it suddenly merged into the gray fog and disappeared.
Although the summoned "spirit" will continue to consume spiritual energy, it has a hidden function that is very practical.
That is...shared vision.
Yi Lin can switch to Bai Xiaoyi's field of vision at any time.
Commonly known as... inserting eyes.
And this "eye" can move at will.
Moreover, the vision of "spirit" is very different from that of human beings.
That is...living people will emit light.
A sizzling, sizzling light.
This feeling, even if Yi Lin switches to "Bai Xiaoyi's" vision, is difficult to describe in words.
But generally speaking, even if those people wear camouflage clothes, in "Bai Xiaoyi's" field of vision, they are as dazzling as Li Changge in the crowd, like a light bulb.
Camouflage clothing can only affect the structure of the human retina, but it cannot affect the "spiritual" eyes.
It is precisely in this way that Yi Lin can accurately remind Wang Bing of the enemy's location when the opponent is "invisible".
The questions Molly asked were indeed "forbidden matters".
Before Yi Lin got the "Twin Souls" enchantment card, she didn't expect that twin souls would have such benefits.
Generally speaking, after the spirit body is separated from the enchanted weapon, the enchantment skills related to the spirit body cannot be used.
For example...form changes.
But the Twin Spirits Possession Card is different. It releases one spirit and another spirit.
The spirit-enchanted weapon Blood Jasmine has two weapon form changes because it has two spirits: Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi.
Let’s not mention Bai Xiaoyi’s morphological changes for now.
The "blood thread" he used for his four kills was Nie Hongxiu's ability.
The changing form of the possessed weapon seems to be related to the ability, or preference, of the spirit body during its lifetime.
And what impressed Yi Lin most about Nie Hongxiu during the Guiwu Mountain trial was undoubtedly the white hair that he could control easily.
One of Blood Jasmine's form changes uses Nie Hongxiu's ability... or preference.
Coupled with the enhanced [killing skills] that Yi Lin learned in the trial on Guiwu Mountain, the camouflage clothes with a certain defensive power worn by the four foreign soldiers were useless.
Just like the setting in an old TikTok game...all equipment is paper.
The difference is between thick paper and thin paper.
"But...this consumption is really..."
Yi Lin rubbed the slightly stinging eyebrows, quietly took a look at the remaining psychic energy value, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The spiritual energy consumption of the enchanted weapon [Form Change] cannot be quantified.
Just like "blood thread", the more threads are separated, the wider the range and the greater the consumption.
This short round of killings consumed more than half of Yi Lin's spiritual energy.
In desperation, he could only temporarily put away Bai Xiaoyi, and narrowed the range of telekinesis perception, leaving only a few invisible "tentacles" around himself and Molly just in case.
He had a hunch that since the other party dared to do such a thing on the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, it would be more than just a five-person team.
"Forget it, I'm just idle. I'm going to test it and see if the changes in the magnetic field here are any different from other observation points."
When Molly saw that she couldn't get any more information from Yi Lin, she clapped her hands and prepared to leave.
Yi Lin hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
Molly rolled her eyes at Yi Lin: "Don't tell me the results. No matter whether it has any effect or not, I am still a little interested. If you tell me the results directly, I will have no interest in doing research in the future.
what to do?"
When Yi Lin heard this, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
Molly smiled and said: "Even if the 'future' is destined, the process of exploration is actually more interesting, isn't it? Besides... with you as a butterfly here, many things in the future will be uncertain!"
Yi Lin studied Molly's words carefully. After a few seconds, he shook his head, with a hint of relief on his lips: "You are right. But don't stay too far away from me."
"okok!" After Molly agreed, she started to do her own thing.
With the "Invisible Man" attack happening first, Molly really didn't dare to leave Yi Lin too far.
After all, there are so many people here, and only Yi Lin can truly protect her safety.
Even with her eyes closed, Molly seemed to be able to feel that there were telepathic tentacles from Yi Lin around her, protecting her from the wind and rain.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help humming a tune happily.
After Yi Lin simply replenished her water, she sat down not far from Molly and closed her eyes to rest.
Silently restores psionic energy.
Although his eyes are closed, he is within the range of perception of telekinetic tentacles, and to some extent, is even more sensitive than vision.
Because the power of thought comes from the brain, everything sensed by the tentacles of thought directly skips the part that is transmitted through the optic nerve.
So once the "spiritual tentacles" sense danger, Yilin's reaction is much faster than the "visual" reaction.
Except for Yi Lin, the rest of the field team did not dare to take it lightly.
Yi Lin also hinted to Wang Bing that his "sensing" was not omnipotent, so Wang Bing did not dare to let go of even the slightest sign of trouble and stared at the surrounding gray fog area.
Before rejoining the team, Yi Lin briefly analyzed the current situation for Wang Bing.
First of all, there may be an unknown number of enemies hiding in the dark.
Secondly, the opponent's goal must be to capture Molly alive. After all, Molly's most valuable thing is her brain and research and development capabilities.
Therefore, no matter how many people the opponent has, they will never use weapons such as sniper rifles or large-scale explosives that may accidentally injure Molly. Therefore, when the team gathers together, it will make the opponent more restrained and dare not act rashly.
Another half hour passed.
The rest of the investigation team also completed their respective tasks.
Feng Manqing also carefully collected all the specimens that were exposed to and affected by the fog, and put them back into the incubator for sealed storage.
When you return to the laboratory, you can record the changes in the specimens and obtain research data.
"Okay! Is everyone finished? We are ready to go to the next observation point!"
Ju Xiuyuan shouted excitedly to gather. The attack just now did not have any impact on his desire to explore.
On the contrary, it only made him more enthusiastic.
This group of researchers, who stayed in the laboratory every day, did not realize at this time that the attack just now was just the beginning.
The closer we get to the tower, the thicker the gray mist becomes.
The visibility is also lower.
"Has everyone done their jobs?"
After gathering together, Ju Xiuyuan acted like the captain, replacing Molly and asking everyone directly.
Other members of the investigation team also responded.
Molly yawned lazily and quietly moved closer to Yi Lin.
--safer.
"Some people seem to be sitting there and being lazy..." Ju Xiuyuan suddenly looked at Yi Lin with bright eyes.
suddenly.
Yi Lin's expression condensed.
But it wasn't because of Ju Xiuyuan's words.
But because...
While Ju Xiuyuan was speaking, a line of text appeared in front of his eyes.
…
[An unknown target uses the skill "Identification Technique" on you... The skill usage failed! 】
…
"..."
Identification technique?
Yi Lin's heart moved.
Although she remained calm on the surface, Yi Lin expanded her perception range in an instant.
Yi Lin raised his head and shrugged helplessly at Ju Xiuyuan: "There is no way, your instruments are too complicated. I can't do it if you ask me to, and I can't afford to pay for it if it is damaged."
When Ju Xiuyuan heard this, his tone was stagnant, and he didn't argue with Yi Lin anymore. He relaxed his brows a little and said in a low voice: "Well, you just need to understand. Remember that you are only an intern researcher in this investigation team.
...Although you lack a lot of necessary professional knowledge, you still have to do your job well."
"Professor Ju."
At this time, another tall man came from the side and said with a smile: "Why do you care so much with a student? Internships are just for experience, aren't they? Besides, young people have the courage to follow us into unmanned academia.
District, this kind of fearless spirit is already commendable, there is no need to be too demanding... Haha."
Ju Xiu glanced at the tall man who came to smooth things over, and without saying anything else, he left the place and continued to pack his equipment.
"Hello, Dr. Liu."
After Ju Xiuyuan left, Yi Lin said hello.
"Huh? You know me?"
"Before the investigation team set off, Molly briefly introduced your situation." Yi Lin smiled slightly and did not hide anything, telling the truth.
Liu Nian'an touched his chin. There was a circle of sparse stubble on his chin, which made him look a little unkempt.
Liu Nian'an patted Yi Lin on the shoulder: "I thought you had read my article in a science magazine."
"Uh..."Creation"?"
"Have you read it? Which one?" Liu Nian'an's eyes lit up.
"I have only read "To the Sky that Mankind Will Lose"."
Liu Nian'an's expression froze and he smiled bitterly: "This article was written by your little girlfriend..."
Yi Lin was slightly startled, but she closed her mouth and remained noncommittal.
Liu Nian'an chuckled, and seeing that Yi Lin's expression seemed a little embarrassed, he didn't hold on to Yi Lin and handed Yi Lin a military kettle.
"Drink of water?"
Yi Lin waved her hand: "No, I just drank."
Liu Nian'an poured a glass out and took a big sip. His expression became more serious: "It must be your first time entering no man's land. You don't know how terrible it is. In the gray fog, you must replenish water and water in time.
Food, if the body's immunity is reduced due to dehydration and hunger, it will increase the chance of being eroded by the gray fog. I don't want you to die in an unknown way after you go back."
While talking, Liu Nian'an put his wet hand on Yi Lin's forehead, felt it, and then felt for Yi Lin's pulse.
Yi Lin remained silent.
Liu Nian'an didn't stay too long. He removed his hand from Yi Lin's wrist and nodded: "The body temperature is normal...the pulse is not fast either. Pay attention to yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, you can come to me. I have a little pain."
Drugs that increase immunity.”
"Do you suspect that the cause of death from this fog is a virus?" Yi Lin asked.
