From the time travel, I became extraordinary

The video, which lasted several minutes, was quickly finished.

You looked at me, I looked at you, and we all frowned and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Zhao Zhengfang finally spoke, temporarily breaking the silence: "I remember, your name seems to be Xiao Xie, right!"

"Please, zoom in on the scene in the video where the humanoid creature takes out a cigarette and lights it up, and then pause it."

"I always feel that his movements seem a little familiar!"

……

Those real big bosses are generally very friendly when dealing with their grassroots employees.

On the contrary, those grassroots managers are much stricter towards their subordinates and always like to put on a sour face.

When his eyes fell on Xie Guangming, Zhao Zhengping's expression softened a little, and he even deliberately put on a few smiles.

"Okay, Chief!" Xie Guangming responded by nodding repeatedly, and he quickly started to operate.

Soon, the action of the charred humanoid monster taking out a pack of cigarettes, taking out a cigarette and lighting it was magnified more than ten times and clearly presented on the big screen.

"King Hibiscus?"

"Although the monster's face also looks dark, if you look closely, it seems to be very similar to Mr. Jiang who entered the Death Valley a few years ago!"

"After your reminder, it seems to be true. If I remember correctly, Mr. Jiang is a heavy smoker and always likes to smoke Furongwang. The way he smokes is exactly the same as this humanoid monster."

"Could it be that……"

Among the people in the command center at this moment, in addition to Zhao Zhengping and Yang Guoping, there are several other people who have been stationed here and have met Jiang Yao in the past.

The video shot by the drone in the sky was not specially enlarged when it was played before.

But now, the scene that had been magnified and paused on the big screen once again came into everyone's eyes.

Everyone saw clearly not only the dark face of the humanoid monster, but also the pack of cigarettes in its hand.

Several people spoke one after another, connecting what they said together. Unconsciously, an incredible guess, which was completely out of control, appeared in everyone's mind.

"That kind of mantis monster can split into two parts and parasitize on corpses. When they succeed in parasitizing and truly transform, they will take on the face of the person they parasitized before his death. This is a fact we have already known."

"Although the face of the unknown humanoid monster is highly similar to Mr. Jiang, perhaps for similar reasons, it does not mean that it must be him."

"After all, Mr. Jiang has not been seen in Death Valley for four or five years. If something happens to him in there, there is a high possibility that he will be parasitized by those monsters."

"We must treat this matter with caution."

"There are two hunting teams in the camp, and they just entered that area."

"If they encounter the unknown humanoid monster captured by the drone, they can test it a little. If they find anything wrong, they can be allowed to shoot directly."

"That's right. Regardless of whether the monster is Mr. Jiang or not, we must not gamble with the lives of our men. I definitely agree with this proposal!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

……

With a heavy expression, Zhao Zhengping spoke first.

After he started, the others present also expressed their opinions one after another.

Soon, they reached a consensus and made a decision.

With the command center as the center, their orders were passed down layer by layer, and soon reached the ears of everyone in the camp.

Jiang Yao naturally knew nothing about what was happening in the camp.

At this moment, he had just killed a mantis monster and was still in a daze.

"I stayed in Death Valley for only four or five days at most!"

"Are the Mantis people out there expanding so fast? I'm already nearly five kilometers away from the entrance of Death Valley. How could I encounter such a monster here?"

"There are still this many. I haven't even done any searching on purpose, but I've already killed nearly twenty mantis monsters in my hands."

"Such a big change has occurred in just a few days. If it had been a few years, the entire Qing Province would have been occupied by those weird things!"

……

After completely erasing the spiritual imprint left by the mantis man he had just killed, Jiang Yao stood up from the ground.

He rubbed his head, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into a straight line.

He has always disliked meddling in other people's affairs. Even if someone who has nothing to do with him is beaten to death in front of him, he will just watch coldly and will never think of going up to help.

But now, seeing the expansion speed of the mantis monster, which could really cause devastation to all living things, his mood became obviously heavy.

Before he knew it, he had reached the location of the camp in his memory.

There were broken bricks and tiles everywhere. The former camp had long since turned into ruins. Jiang Yao did not see any trace of the troops stationed there. Instead, he encountered another mantis monster and killed it easily.

"I just went into Death Valley and stayed there for a few more days."

"Zhao Zhengping and his men stationed here, could it be that they have been wiped out again?"

"When I left, Zhu Mingxu stayed in the camp. With his strength, ordinary mantis people should not be his match."

"With him in charge of the camp, they couldn't even hold out for three to five days when they were attacked by the Mantis People. This is illogical and shouldn't happen at all!"

……

Originally, Jiang Yao, who was charred and looked extremely embarrassed, had no intention of going back to the camp directly.

However, when he walked closer and saw that the campsite in his memory had become like this, he finally frowned and stepped into the area.

After looking around, the doubts in his heart not only did not diminish, but became even more intense.

“The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!”

"The area of ​​activity of those mantis monsters has expanded to here. It seems that Zhao Zhengping and his men who were originally stationed here have also encountered trouble. They are likely in great danger."

"The drone that spied on me at the entrance of Death Valley must have been sent by a new team from above."

"I don't know how far away they are, but they monitor this area."

"But it's useless to just monitor and can't stop the monsters from expanding."

"Forget it. I'm kind-hearted, so I'll help them. There's no need to rush back for now. Let's clean up this area!"

……

Jiang Yao sighed softly and muttered a few words in his heart.

He had already reached the old camp, but he turned around and followed the same path he had come from, heading into a small jungle.

Less than half an hour after Jiang Yao left, a fully armed unmanned team came from afar and appeared in the abandoned camp.

"Everyone be careful and search the area."

"Remember, the monster's weakness is its legs." "Our X-type armor-piercing bullets are powerful and can directly break the monster's legs and make it unable to move, but if the parts they hit are covered by shells, they can only barely break through the defense and it is difficult to cause any fatal injuries."

"If we make a mistake and the monster gets close to us, our team will be wiped out just like Lao Tian and his team a few days ago!"

……

The person who spoke was called Lu Jinwang.

With a buzz cut and dark skin, this guy gives people a feeling of being extremely tough at first glance.

Whether it is him as the captain or the other members of the team, in the army, even if they cannot be called the king of soldiers, they are definitely top elites.

After all, if you want to hunt that kind of mantis monster, you not only need accurate shooting skills and good psychological quality, but also very strong tactical qualities.

If someone without real skills joins the hunting team, not only will he lose his own life, but he may also implicate his teammates.

"Don't worry, boss."

"This is not the first time we have come here to hunt Mantis People. We know exactly how to do it."

"I'll search the west. Curly, Old Cat, you guys go explore other directions!"

The young man with a scar spoke first and nodded.

After greeting a few companions, he crouched down, holding a gun, and walked carefully towards the west.

The rest of the people looked at each other and nodded, then they also chose their own directions in tacit understanding and began to explore.

On their faces, they wore biological goggles specially used for hunting mantis people.

The body temperature of that monster is no different from that of a dead body. It does not have the body temperature that a normal living creature should have. However, they have a special biological energy that can be continuously emitted out at all times.

This kind of goggles can sense that special energy, allowing hunting team members to discover the existence of those mantis monsters at the first time.

It is indeed a fact that four or five years ago, when the mantis monster first appeared, it was able to directly destroy a regiment stationed here.

But now, with so many specimens and after so many years of research, with the help of technology, major research institutes within the Federation have naturally developed a number of instruments specifically for Mantis People.

For example, these biological goggles, or those X-shaped armor-piercing bullets, were all created to deal with mantis monsters.

"Boss, we've found something..." Looking at the several team members who were scattered and searching in all directions, Lu Jinwang stood in the middle, ready to provide support at any time.

Twenty or thirty meters away, he heard the scarred young man's low shout and rushed forward like a rabbit.

It wasn't just him. Several curly-haired old cats in other directions also heard the noise and came running over.

"A dead body of a Mantis Man. Who did this?"

“Both legs were intact, but there was a fatal wound on the chest that shattered the shell and went straight through the monster’s entire body.

"No hunting team in the camp can do this. There must be someone else who killed this mantis man!"

"That's right. If it was done by another team, they would definitely bring the monster's corpse back to the camp and would not just leave it here!"

"There may be unknown enemies, everyone be careful!"

……

In just a few seconds, Lu Jinwang and several other team members had gathered near the scarred young man.

Looking at the corpse of the mantis monster on the ground, several people frowned and talked in a low voice.

When the monster was just killed, some unknown virus was found on its body, which could infect humans and animals, and slowly turn them into mantis people step by step.

Only after waiting for a period of time, when the monster's body shows signs of decay and is no longer alive, will the virus completely disappear, allowing ordinary people to touch it normally.

After joining the hunting team, the instructor in the camp had already told Lu Jinwang and the others these common sense things.

At this moment, the corpse lying on the ground did not look alive, but Lu Jinwang and others still tried it several times. After confirming that it was safe, they squatted down and checked the corpse of this monster.

"Boss, before we entered this area, wasn't there news that an unknown humanoid monster had walked out of Death Valley?"

"You said, is it possible that the death of this mantis man in front of us was caused by some unknown monster?"

The monster's body was checked over and over again by several people.

As a member of the hunting team, Lu Jinwang and his team naturally knew how abnormal the defensive power of the mantis man's shell was.

The wound in front of him, which shattered the shell and went straight through the entire body of the Mantis Man, was enough to make people feel a little chilling just by looking at it.

Among the few people, the guy nicknamed Curly took a deep breath and started to guess.

"This area is heavily guarded. Except for our hunting team, no one else will enter here."

"It is indeed possible that the mantis man in front of us died at the hands of that unknown humanoid monster."

"I don't know what those big guys up there are thinking."

"The order we received actually said that when we encounter that unknown humanoid monster, we cannot attack first. We must first try to call out Mr. Jiang."

"Originally, our team's mission was to hunt down a mantis monster and bring it back to the camp to meet the needs of the research institute, but now, searching for the whereabouts of the unknown humanoid monster has become our top priority!"

……

With a bitter look on his face, Lu Jinwang couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

The more unknown something is, the greater the risk it contains.

With his team members, he was only hunting some lone mantis monsters. He was already familiar with the task and generally speaking, there was not much risk.

But now, when searching for the traces of the unknown humanoid monster, if we really find something, we can't attack first. We have to tentatively call out Mr. Jiang...

For Lu Jinwang and others, this was tantamount to tying their heads to their belts.

"This order from above is indeed a bit stupid."

"But there's nothing I can do, boss!"

"We are soldiers. It is our duty to obey orders."

"No matter what the reason is, since the higher-ups have said so, no matter how dissatisfied we are, we have no choice but to do as they say."

……

After Lu Jinwang finished speaking, the scarred young man and the curly-haired guys also looked helpless and sighed.

But no matter how depressed I am, I still have to do things.

"Leave this mantis man's corpse here. Don't worry about it for now."

"Since it is very likely that it died at the hands of that unknown humanoid monster, let's not delay any further and just follow it all the way."

"With luck, if we can find something, we will also have an explanation to the camp."

"At that time, we will go back the same way and take this corpse back directly!"

After a moment of silence, Lu Jinwang stood up.

After greeting a few teammates, he took a step forward. (End of this chapter)
