Chapter 270
What exactly did Charlie's team go through? The truth was only discovered in the body's body camera footage after everything had been settled.
"Ando, Ishimori, cross in."
This floor is mostly outpatient clinics, there are no wards, so there's no need to worry about hitting patients. Thus, the leader of Charlie's squad gave the order.
“...clear.” The squad members stopped in unison, staring at the frosty door.
They were now just a step away from the space where the fake man was located.
"We need to know what that imposter looks like."
A team member walked to the door, placed his hand on the doorknob, and gently pressed down.
There is no lock.
"Prepare for mechanical breaching, prepare hand grenades."
Captain Charlie, with his extensive experience, quickly devised a battle strategy.
Two team members were standing by the door, one of them having already pulled the pin off the grenade, ready to throw it at any moment.
"Ready, three, two, one..."
"boom!"
The "corpse" lying next to them, covered by a white sheet, suddenly sat up and fired two shots at the ceiling.
The room's fire suppression system immediately began spraying water, showering Charlie's team members with large amounts of water.
The leader of Charlie's squad paused for a moment, then immediately fired at the "corpse" that had sat up.
Gunshots rang out in the cramped space, and Charlie's formation was thrown into disarray for a moment.
The door was suddenly pulled open, and a humanoid creature with dark red skin, dry skin, and black eye sockets appeared before Charlie's team.
A chill emanated from the enclosed space, and the SWAT team member responsible for throwing the grenade found it gripped tightly in his hand, as if he couldn't feel anything in his palm.
"!"
He turned around and noticed a thin layer of frost on his gloves.
......
No hostile units were found on the second floor.
Chen Yi looked at the stairs leading to the third floor and began to recall.
Go up from here, then turn left; that's the place where you and Dr. Maruki were attacked last time.
The sporadic gunshots earlier seemed to have come from here, indicating that the fake man was probably in that area.
I gently touched the tiled wall at the bottom of the stairs with my fingers, just to feel the temperature.
"It's colder here than it was there before."
The current room temperature is probably between 12 and 17 degrees Celsius.
Chen Yi confirmed something.
As Chen Yi climbed the stairs to the third floor, he fell silent, staring at the stairs that continued upwards.
"We took the initiative."
Chen Yi changed his mind.
In any case, since I have the videotapes on me, even if I don't actively seek them out, they will come looking for me.
Then fight them, then eliminate them.
Chen Yi pulled his foot back from the step, turned around, and gestured for Kroka to continue leading the way as the scout, their target being the place where the fake humans might be hiding.
......
"It's right here, behind this wall."
Chen Yi saw water droplets on the tiles.
Go in around the corner ahead.
Chen Yi took a drone off the back of the Kentauros, turned it on, and threw it into the depths of the corridor.
"connect."
Kluka lowered the muzzle of her gun slightly and called out to indicate that she was alright.
The drone emitted a buzzing sound and quickly disappeared around the corner.
"The door on the left opens to the area directly in front, which leads to other outpatient areas. The door on the right leads to the place where the commander was attacked last time."
Kluka reported.
"Check the left side area."
"On the left... a SWAT officer was found lying on the ground. There was also a half-open door in the room, and the floor was covered in water and ice, which seemed to have triggered the fire sprinkler system."
"?"
Fire suppression spray system?
"There was a body covered with a white sheet on the hospital bed, half of it was hanging off. It looked like it was shot after sitting up. Wait, the body was holding a pistol."
Kroos paused for a moment, then her tone became serious.
"There are two bullet holes in the ceiling. If it wasn't fired by the SWAT..."
"boom!"
Klukka was interrupted by an explosion before she could finish speaking, and the entire space shook violently several times.
"......what happens?"
"The fake drone was trying to ambush the drone from a blind spot, but I blew it up the instant my vision shifted."
"...Proceed."
We can't let that thing get away.
......
The area where the fairy detonated was a complete mess, and the corpses on the ground were even more mangled and bloody.
"Kroos, can you tell which one is the fake one?"
“Commander, it should be that one.” Kroos roughly counted, and apart from the five SWAT team members’ remains, there was only a naked, strangely moving mummified corpse in the corner.
They must have been blasted away by the shockwave.
There was a burnt smell mixed with some unknown substance, which was unpleasant to smell.
Chen Yi frowned and followed Lorelei into the room after the explosion.
His gaze swept across the room and landed on the corpse lying on the hospital bed.
The head has traces of sutures and is very rough, which suggests it may also be related to the tentacle pseudo-human.
But why was a fire-retardant spray device used? Chen Yi looked up at the two bullet holes in the ceiling, his gaze slowly moving downwards.
Water, frost...
This is... coordination?
Chen Yi looked down and carefully examined the mangled corpses on the ground.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
"Grenades! Retreat!"
A corpse near the inner gate suddenly brought a sense of extreme danger to Chen Yi, who immediately ordered Krockey and Lorelei to...
The "corpse" slowly stood up, only to have its head smashed by Kroos, who was retreating at lightning speed.
He barely managed to lift his left hand, which was pressed under his body, before it fell limply back down, and a round object slipped out of his hand.
"boom!"
The wall, having withstood two explosions, finally gave way, and large chunks of rubble crashed down on Lorelei, who was protecting Chen Yi.
"Are you alright?" Chen Yi could hear nothing but buzzing sounds. He looked at Lorelei on top of him and asked instinctively.
"Thank goodness, Commander..."
Lorelei quickly got up, and it seemed that she was not seriously injured.
"That was close, I'm so scared..."
Chen Yi got up and looked at the scene that had been completely destroyed.
"Commander, I..."
"Don't start a blame game, we're not safe yet," Chen Yi interrupted Kroos, who was about to say something.
......
This was the first time in so many days since I got involved in the zoo case that I had actually seen the tentacle pseudo-human, one of the culprits.
Its massive body blocked the corridor and was spotted by Delta's scouts, but they failed to kill it.
Miao Mu raised his gun and leaned out to look at the tentacle-like fake man, then suddenly felt a weight on his head.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Miao Mu covered his head and shouted instructions.
Unfortunately, it seems no one can hear what he's saying.
Miao Mu grabbed Delta Captain's shoulder and pulled him back, forcing him out of the tentacle pseudo-human's influence range.
"Where's the impact grenade! The impact grenade!"
Miao Mu shouted in Delta's captain's ear. The captain paused for a moment, then suddenly snapped back to reality, pulled a grenade from the ammunition rack, and threw it around the corner.
"boom!"
The floor shook twice; it was the resonance caused by the shock wave.
"Bring the two team members from the corner back!"
Miao Mu said something to the captain, and without even taking his medicine, rushed out and pulled back the SWAT officer who was closest to him.
But it was too late. The tentacle puppet's attack had already arrived, sending the scout who had spotted the enemy first flying and crashing heavily into the wall.
Day Seven: Chapter 271 The Elephant in the Room
Chapter 271
The monster that had been hit by a grenade seemed to be in a lot of pain and kept shrinking back.
Although Miao Mu didn't want to give up this opportunity, the Delta team was currently suffering from mental pollution due to lack of preparation and was not in good condition, so she had no choice but to give up.
He can't escape...
Miao Mu glanced at the Delta team members, took out a strip of pills from his ammunition pouch, pressed two pills into the team leader's mouth, and then, without saying a word, shoved the strip of pills into his hand, silently following the trail of the tentacle pseudo-human alone.
......
"That fake human we just encountered, if I'm not mistaken, should be a variant of the charred corpse." After taking down the fake human, Kroka helped keep watch and explained to Chen Yi what they had just encountered.
"Its capabilities don't match its name."
Chen Yi raised his shoulder. He had bumped into something hard when he dodged the explosion. Fortunately, he should be fine and could still move, but it was very numb and painful.
"The low temperature principle of the charred corpse relies on a highly efficient biological heat pump to absorb and store heat in the body, which leads to a decrease in room temperature."
Although the name may seem counterintuitive at first glance, once you understand the underlying principle, you'll realize that naming it this way isn't wrong.
"Correspondingly, heat can be stored and released, and its usual means of attack is high-temperature liquids."
"So, its attack method is spitting?" Chen Yi stood up with the help of Lorelei's arm and checked the condition of the rifle.
"If the commander wants to understand it that way... that's fine too."
However, what the charred corpse vomited was a hundred times worse than saliva.
Chen Yi wisely refrained from pressing the matter further.
