World War I

Chapter 22 The Scariness of No Gunfire

In the camp, Yekalinan had nothing to do, so she was carving her nesting doll, the last one.

She sat at the entrance of the tent, not even raising her head, concentrating on carving, as if she and her nesting doll world were the only ones around her.

Luo Ye really couldn't figure out what she was doing at the base. Was she just hanging around, or was she here specifically to have an argument with Andre? "She's a very profound woman."

"You're right. She dares to contradict Andre. The enemy of my enemy is our friend. I'll go talk to her."

Irina was sent by Luo Ye to gather intelligence, while Luo Ye observed the situation at the base.

Andre was a little too arbitrary in deciding whether the man in black was Product No. 1, but entering the base at night was a dangerous thing. If the man in black was Product No. 1, anyone who went in to search would be in great danger.

Just based on Product No. 1's superb skills of flying on the grass, those special police were in trouble, and Luo Ye couldn't tell who the guy who just killed people was, whether it was Product No. 1.

He wanted to stop him, but Andre had gone crazy, determined to catch Product No. 1.

The researcher also stayed in front of his tent, looking up at the sky, blankly, motionless for a long time like a sculpture.

He looked like he was preoccupied.

He said that he used to be a researcher in Laboratory No. 7, doing genetic research. Luo Ye thought about it carefully and felt that it was not that simple. He might be lying. His expression seemed a little forced when he spoke.

He must be hiding something.

The researcher's gaze happened to be looking at Luo Ye. He nodded and smiled at Luo Ye, and Luo Ye politely returned the gesture.

Luo Ye originally planned to have another good talk with the researcher, but now was not the time. A special police officer had just died and the atmosphere was not right. Although the trace expert had ruled out the possibility of Luo Ye killing someone, the abnormal behavior shown by Luo Ye must have made the researcher wonder in his heart.

Luo Ye's spear skills are magical, which is understandable. Spear skills are not fighting, and anyone with good eyesight can do it.

However, it is strange no matter how you look at it that Luo Ye was able to defeat the powerful second-in-command of the special police team.

After a while, Irina came back embarrassedly.

"Damn it, I'm just trying to please the cold shoulder. They're totally ignoring me!"

"Cold beauty."

"What a beauty! Are you as pretty as me?"

Luo Ye grinned, "Still laughing? It's all your fault. She didn't want to talk to me at all. She chased me away like a fly."

The policewoman was pouting, and Luo Ye hurried to comfort her.

"Have you found anything at the base?"

"It shouldn't be yet. There's no gunfire."

"The lack of gunfire is a good thing."

"No, the absence of gunfire is scary."

The search inside the base lasted for two hours. Turgenev called his team back. They found nothing and didn't even see a trace of the so-called man in black.

Andre's face became increasingly gloomy. When he walked into the tent, he glared fiercely at Luo Ye who was sitting by the campfire.

Just then, the researcher walked towards him, his leather shoes stepping on the concrete floor, making a clacking-clacking-clacking sound that was extremely harsh.

He came over and plopped down, apparently exhausted from his search of the base as well. "I'm glad nothing happened, I'm glad nothing happened. It's a bit chilly, and I'm not suited to this kind of weather. It gets colder the later it gets. They say Siberia's weather is terrible, and I've seen it all today. It's so cold right after summer. Imagine winter. It's terrifying."

"Doctor, what is the name of the instrument in the doctor's hand?"

"The specific name is hard to remember, but you can understand my monster detector. As long as the body structure is not human, it can identify it."

Luo Ye understood a little and said with a smile: "You all suspect that I am a monster, right?"

"Yes, but I don't believe it."

Chief Knuckles also came over from the other side, his police hat worn straight, his leather bag tied tightly, but he was still breathing heavily.

Tonight, the special police had their throats cut, and everyone became nervous, including Chief Knuckles. He was taken into the base by Andre to look for Product No. 1, and he was full of complaints.

"Mr. Director, ah, actually I still prefer to call you Comrade Director. I really miss the great days of 10 years ago."

Director Knuckles also sat down, he was really exhausted.

"Doctor Stein, I miss it a little, but not too much. All I want is to get paid enough every month. It's a mess, a real mess. Before December 1991, 12, you probably didn't expect this base to be abandoned, right?"

The doctor looked at the huge secret base that looked like a ghost castle in the night.

"The clouds have dispersed, and look, there's a little crescent moon."

In the sky, the setting moon hung in a huge black hole.

"The clouds are so thick. I've never seen such thick clouds. It looks like the end of the world."

Chief Knuckles grunted, pulling a bottle of wine from behind his waist.

In the police car of the county police station, the director hid alcohol in the car.

The Big Hairy Man is an alcoholic, and Chief Knuckles is the worst of the alcoholics.

Luo Ye couldn't believe that a police car going on an important mission could carry a dozen bottles of liquor.

"Doctor, would you like some?"

"No, Chief, I'm not much of a drinker."

"Aren't you afraid that Mr. Andre will blame you? It's not the right time to drink."

Knuckles took a big gulp. "Doc, I can only stir up my fighting spirit under the stimulation of alcohol. Mr. Andre won't blame me. After someone's death, I have to cheer up. Being drunk can make me sober and able to see and hear all directions. I've been a policeman for 30 years, from south to north, from east to west, and I've been through it all this way. Hahahaha—"

He smiled heartily and took another sip.

After taking these two sips, he handed the bottle to Luo Ye.

"Take a couple of sips to give yourself some courage."

Luo Ye took the bottle and took a sip.

This alcohol is not as strong as the strong Erguotou.

He smacked his lips. "It would be better if the alcohol content was a little higher."
