Chapter 450 Evolve Again! (6,800-Character Chapter)
six o'clock in the morning.
Cangyang City.
The first ray of dawn did not have time to appear.
The night has not yet dissipated.
Yi Lin and the others, their hair tips were covered with morning dew, white flowers. From a distance, it looks like a head covered with frost.
Oda Mai and Gu Sinan took one corner, closing their eyes and resting their minds.
Wang Bing was carrying a miniature submachine gun, with a few incendiary bombs buckled around his waist, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked around vigilantly.
His subordinates, the field team, also tried their best to keep their spirits up, to beware of the strange insects that came out from nowhere at any time.
But in fact, since they stayed away from the city center and retreated after fighting those strange insects, they had not been attacked by insect swarms for a long time.
half an hour ago.
"What about the other dead?"
"I haven't seen it yet, but I guess it's about the same."
Gu Tianqing smiled slightly and said: "However, the person who manipulated the 'leech' in the dark is very clever. He deliberately left the slime of the leech everywhere in the scene, trying to hide the 'entrance' of the real invasion of the leech army. Besides, the target he chose , seems to have been carefully selected, the version of the AI housekeeper in the house is the one without video surveillance, which is a bit interesting."
"In fact, if you really want to hide it, you can't hide it. After all, this simple method may not be able to deceive even a criminal policeman with a certain seniority who graduated from the Special Warfare Department. It's just because ordinary people have never seen it. It's a battle, so I don't know how to deal with it for a while."
Gu Tianqing withdrew her smile, looked at Yi Lin, and said slowly, "Oh? You mean, the other party already expected that she was almost exposed?"
"In this circle, don't underestimate anyone who can survive the trial, even if he looks very funny and unbeatable. By the way, I am temporarily assuming that 'he' is an apostle." Yi Lin said to Gu Tianqing He said something he deeply understood: "I'm even more curious, why did the man who manipulated the leeches kill eleven people in the same place?"
Gu Tianqing nodded and agreed: "That's right. If it were me, killing one and changing another place would reduce the chance of exposure."
"Oh, very experienced."
Yi Lin looked calm and looked at Gu Tianqing.
Gu Tianqing replied with an elegant smile: "I'm just giving you an example."
"hehe."
Yi Lin smiled without saying a word, without pointing out.
"What next?"
Gu Tianqing asked with a smile.
Although she knew that Gu Tianqing was changing the subject tactfully, Yi Lin didn't bother to say anything, and walked out of the community.
"After investigation, although we can confirm that a group of cute little leeches are hiding in the sewer. However, the area is too large, and it is very impractical to conduct a carpet search. Besides, if our opponent is really a group of If there are intelligent leeches, there is no way to catch them all under the current conditions."
"So, we just have to wait."
Yi Lin nodded, agreeing.
That's right.
wait.
This is currently the only way.
"Wake up and talk.
"
Yi Lin yawned, leaving Gu Tianqing behind.
Gu Tianqing looked at Yi Lin who was leaving quickly, chuckled suddenly, and said to Yi Lin's back: "I don't know if it's my illusion, but now you seem a little impatient. What happened?"
Yi Lin paused.
But he didn't look back.
"This is your illusion. Besides, what does it matter to you if I am impatient?"
"Yeah, it doesn't matter."
...
...
This wait is three days.
In the past three days, Molly finally sent a reply.
"Awesome. How did you get this information?"
Molly highly affirmed Yi Lin's work efficiency.
"Hehe, commercial secrets."
"Bah." Molly spat, but didn't ask further: "I've checked. The information shows that there are currently seven research institutions that hold Star Steel, except my laboratory. Yes Yes, you are in Cangyang City now, right? I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but there is one of the research institutes specializing in new semiconductor materials, not far from Cangyang City. I’ll send it to you later, and you can find a place to receive it one time."
"clear."
After hearing the news, Yi Lin narrowed her eyes slightly and didn't say much.
There are some things that Molly is destined not to be too clear about the details.
Regarding the search for Star Steel, Yi Lin is not in a hurry for the time being.
To be precise, there is no rush.
Although Yu Meng and Zhao Yulong paid more attention to what happened in the scientific research department, they did not focus on a mere document in Area A. But Yi Lin was not entirely sure that the loss of the documents would not attract anyone's attention. Therefore, Yi Lin can only temporarily put all her thoughts on solving the "leech murder incident" in Cangyang City first.
After investigating the place of death of the latest deceased with Gu Tianqing, Yi Lin has roughly figured out the context of the incident.
There is a person who has the ability to manipulate leeches.
For a certain purpose, he manipulated leeches to kill eleven ordinary people within a month.
The eleven deceased had nothing in common except that they were all living alone.
In fact, "single, living alone" is also the common point of most serial homicides without a specific target.
Because of this type of goal, it's easy to start.
Generally speaking, the perpetrators of this type of homicide will also be collectively referred to as "perverted serial murderers".
"In various senses, it can really be said to be 'abnormal'."
During these three days.
The mysterious "leech man" seemed to know that a big net was about to be spread in Cangyang City, and had no intention of bubbling at all.
It's like it's gone completely.
Because of the special circumstances of the case and the "abnormality" involved, the whole case was forcibly concealed.
At present, Cangyang City is still a peaceful scene, and has not fallen into chaos because of this.
But nothing special happened in these three days.
At least, today, a special person came to the temporary office temporarily set up for Yi Lin and others in the Cangyang City Police Station.
...
Yi Lin looked at the girl in front of her with a long black scabbard knife hanging from her waist and ostentatiously passing through the city, and felt quite a headache.
"How did you come here?"
Oda Mai raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes were cold, and he spoke slowly in a tone that was neither salty nor light: "I can't come?"
"Ah, no, that's not what I meant." Yi Lin retreated behind Gu Tianqing indiscriminately, "I mean, if you're not at home practicing your saber well, what are you doing in this muddy water?"
Oda Mai said in a muffled voice: "My knife has encountered a bottleneck."
"so?"
Is there any direct or indirect relationship between the bottleneck and your coming to Cangyang City?
Keep practicing!
Maybe the bottleneck will be broken through the practice!
Yi Lin was stunned and couldn't connect these two things together.
"So, I wanted to chop something different."
Oda Mai said it as a matter of course.
Yi Lin: "..."
Wang Bing: "..."
Yuan Zhiye: "..."
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
This girl is too murderous.
Yi Lin was even more puzzled.
He once met Oda Mai in the trial of Styx Junior High School.
By the way, do you have any ghosts and ghosts that you haven't cut?
Gu Tianqing clapped her hands and smiled, smoothing things over: "It's okay, just in time, we are also short of people."
While Oda Mai was pressing the sword at his waist, Yi Lin had already slowly asked Zhao Yulong a question mark.
A question mark already contained all of Yi Lin's emotions.
Zhao Yulong seemed to understand.
He giggled in the communication channel: "Are you satisfied with the pink assistant I arranged for you? According to my rich experience, I'm definitely a fan, absolutely—"
"Crack."
Yi Lin snuffed out Zhao Yulong's channel with a backhand, and blocked it.
When the mood is better, Zhao Yulong will be released.
In short.
Yi Lin probably understood.
Zhao Yulong didn't know how to trick Oda Mai into the special group.
According to the behavior style of the special group, most of them act in groups of two to three according to the ability characteristics of each team member. There are not many weirdos in the group who like to solve cases alone.
Oda Mai is currently considered an official.
In this regard, Wang Bing and Yuan Zhiye had received Zhao Yulong's notice long ago, so there was no surprise.
On the contrary, it was Gu Tianqing.
As soon as Wang Bing saw Gu Tianqing's harmless smile, he sounded the alarm frantically.
In his opinion, Gu Tianqing is obviously not a good person.
If it wasn't for Yi Lin's promise, Gu Tianqing should, maybe, might be able to help, and Wang Bing might just press Gu Tianqing down and check him out.
With Mai Oda in charge of military force here, the field team obviously has no place to use it.
Yi Lin didn't hesitate, and directly used the field team as an investigation team, and sent it out to search for various intelligence in Cangyang City.
The key search areas are places closely connected to the sewer exit.
For example, sewage outlets, light factories, and large communities.
on the other hand.
Yuan Zhiye is in charge of identifying the next possible victim and narrowing down the scope of the leech attack in advance.
Regarding Yi Lin's decision, although Gu Tianqing did not veto it, of course she was not qualified to do otherwise.
But Gu Tianqing only said one thing about it:
"Oh, this is a stupid way."
That's right, this kind of blanket search, in Gu Tianqing's view, is an impossible solution.
Strictly speaking, it is not even a solution.
It's just that under limited conditions, he went crazy to find the murderer.
During the three days when the leeches were completely hidden, Yi Lin even used high-tech means to try to use a mini robot with a camera to enter the sewer to see if he could find some traces of leeches passing by. But after trying this method for a while, it failed.
Not to mention that the route of a city's underground drainage pipes is too intricate, more outrageous than a maze. Moreover, the sewer is dark and humid, and it can almost completely wash away the mucous membrane components and residual secretions left by the leeches when they pass by. Unless it is an army of thousands of robots in the sewers, it will not be effective at all.
Everything is back to square one.
As the field team and investigation team headed by Wang Bing and Yuan Zhiye sent one after another "no discovery" feedback, Yi Lin, who was sitting in the temporary office, did not show much fluctuation on his face, but it is undeniable that, There was indeed a sense of anxiety in his heart.
Just as Gu Tianqing saw through at a glance: he was too impatient.
Yi Lin thought of that guy's smiling face, and couldn't help but pick the dead skin on his forehead, and asked himself.
... so obvious?
It is true that there are indeed many things that make Yi Lin unable to help becoming impatient.
He felt that he shouldn't spend too much time on this kind of thing.
But at present, the preparations are not sufficient, and it is not yet time to completely leave the specific group.
Compared with Yi Lin's impatience, Gu Tianqing is strangely laid back.
He even opened a recently popular game on his mobile phone, and played qualifying happily.
"Well, so this hero is dressed like this?"
"Ah, it turns out that mages will be scolded for producing meat outfits..."
"Forget it, just surrender."
"..."
Gu Tianqing had a great time.
Oda Mai moved a small stool, sat in the corner, took out a flannelette, and carefully wiped the blade.
Another four hours passed.
into the night.
Yuan Zhiye walked in hurriedly with a heavy expression.
"It's not good! Someone was killed again! It's a leech man!"
I don't know who gave the murderer such a down-to-earth name as "leech man". Yuan Zhiye thought the name was weird at first, but he got used to it after shouting it out of nowhere.
The three apostles sitting in the temporary office suddenly got up with different expressions.
Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing looked at each other and said at the same time:
"Five days!"
...
The signal to fire was quickly transmitted to the remaining eight warships.
In an instant, all around the Shipwreck Bay, the sound of shells being loaded from various warships completely broke the silence of this sea area.
Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka...
Boom boom boom boom!
Countless gun barrels, within the firing range, spit out terrifying flames towards the Shipwreck Bay at the same time, wave after wave, round after round of shelling, with almost no gap between pauses, and in a blink of an eye, the night fog The dim light was completely drowned out.
Transform into more brilliant fireworks!
Boom boom boom boom——
There were waves on the sea surface, and the fog became thicker, but this was not the normal water fog, but the gunpowder smoke caused by too many gunfires, which was extremely terrifying.
No ship, no single person can withstand this level of firepower on this sea.
For the remaining nine warships, the caliber of the shells was not comparable to that used by the pirates. Just looking at the rows of gun barrels protruding from the iron plates, the muzzles were black and thick, which can be seen.
Shipwreck Bay is also a well-known location in naval textbooks.
It is said that the largest naval battle in recent years took place here.
Because after that battle, pirates did not dare to gather here in large numbers. Even if there were, they were just some unknown pirates. In addition, the barren fortress in Shipwreck Bay was located in the middle of the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. No navy would choose such a thankless place to earn work points.
Even if you are passing by, just take a detour to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Even if those little shrimp pirates were ignored, they might die in the sea one day.
night.
Shipwreck Bay.
Nine warships.
Dense fog and gunpowder.
The sky is full of artillery fire.
All these constituted the magnificent picture scroll in front of him. Gu Tianqing stood at the bow of the boat, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.
at the same time.
In the second cabin.
Just when Yi Lin was about to lift her skirt, summon Night Dire and try [Dark Night Mode] to mix into Shipwreck Bay to see if she could gain some benefits from the chaos, Yi Lin paused.
At this time, one of his long legs had already stepped out of the boat, and he was completely fixed on the outside of the boat.
After hesitating for a moment, Yi Lin thought of Gu Tianqing's poker face, and couldn't help sighing softly: "Forget it, it's too late."
So Yi Lin retracted her legs again.
Also canceled the plan to sneak up to Shipwreck Bay.
He had almost guessed the consequences of Shipwreck Bay completely disappearing in the sea, but he didn't know how the tower would deal with the consequences.
"Is it a bug? Have you encountered a lot of bugs recently? Or is this a new way of clearing the level that I never thought of before?"
The "before" in Yi Lin's words obviously refers to his slightly salty previous life.
"Gu Tianqing also found out? No, how did he know that the main mission of the pirates is related to Shipwreck Bay? Among the pirates... there is a ghost?"
But as soon as this idea flashed in her mind, Yi Lin herself also felt that it was ridiculous, and couldn't help but secretly laugh to herself.
The so-called pirates shouldn't exist in camps. How can they be called a camp if they fight for their own interests without distinguishing between the enemy and ourselves?
Now there are two apostles who have never met before, most likely playing the roles of "Nicholas Zhao" and "Indiana Jones".
Among these two people, is there someone who is secretly uniting with Gu Tianqing?
Or is it……?
Boom boom boom.
The frantic shooting outside is still going on, seemingly endless.
The shock even spread to the cabin, and the weak walls on all sides trembled.
Yi Lin was still thinking in the dark.
The light from the cannon fire reflected a brilliant red light on Elizabeth Lin's fair skin, making this woman in the dark look delicate and beautiful.
in the cabin.
Silence lasted for several minutes.
Suddenly, Yi Lin didn't turn her head back, and said with a low laugh, "You really want to go to Shipwreck Bay?"
I don't know when it started, the translucent lonely mother spirit Alice appeared behind Yi Lin, with a gloomy expression, which made the atmosphere in the cabin a little more inexplicably creepy and treacherous.
Alice floated silently behind Yi Lin without touching the ground.
On that pale face, scars were cracked again, and blood oozes out.
"I said Miss Alice, it's useless for you to scare me with special effects here." Yi Lin turned her head and said with a smile.
Yi Lin has long been immune to this kind of visual feast, not to mention a translucent non-touching spirit like Alice, who still has two ends in his warehouse, which is not uncommon.
Alice remained silent, but quickly took back the blood on her face, and the fresh blood scar on her face healed slowly, smooth as ever.
"I guess, your man is on top."
Alice bowed her head: "I hate him, but our fate is connected."
"The kind that loves you so much and hates so much? Oh, I'm sorry, I should put it in a more down-to-earth way... Oh, you hope that he will die in this life, and never find a lover who loves him more than you? "
Under Yi Lin's ridicule, even though there was no wine at this time, Alice finally told her story.
"Our ship encountered it that day, and..."
Then, then there is no then.
Alice seemed to be recalling the terrible scene at the time, her expression was grim, and her spiritual body trembled slightly.
"He is Alice's fiancé. His long brown hair is like the hair of a lion. It is slightly curly and delicate. His eyes are like stars and diamonds. They are dazzling. Oh, his singing voice is like The most luxurious bell of pure gold, oh..."
Yi Lin had a weird expression and interrupted Alice's singing: "Don't oh oh oh, my orientation is normal, you don't need to describe it in such detail, it sounds to me like your ex-husband is rich?"
Alice's fantasy was interrupted by Yi Lin, the confusion in her eyes dissipated without a trace, and she pressed her lips tightly: "It doesn't matter, he is a very talented musician."
Yi Lin laughed and said, "Well, well-matched love, then what?"
Alice continued: "We were lucky enough to survive in the lifeboat. It didn't seem to be interested in us. We drifted on the sea for seven days..."
"There was no food, no fresh water, and I was severely dehydrated with a persistent high fever, and so was he."
"Alice remembered that on the night of the seventh day, there was a fog all around, and it seemed that someone was singing in the fog."
"He blurted out the names of twenty-three women, including Alice's own aunt and grandmother."
hiss--
Yi Lin suddenly took a breath.
Alice: "?"
Yi Lin: "Nothing, please continue."
"So Alice questioned him the next day why he said the names of those women in his dream. After that, we scuffled on the boat with the last of our strength."
"In the end, I died and he lived. But we were completely one."
Alice's understated tone made Yi Lin unable to react for a while.
But after a little thought, I found something was wrong.
Integrate?
"Wait." Yi Lin raised her head and stared into Alice's eyes: "You mean...he ate you?"
Alice grinned, her two rows of white teeth gleamed white in the firelight: "He can't abandon Alice anymore, Alice is sure."
"Oh." It took Yi Lin a few seconds to calmly accept the ending of this horror story.
Alice looked confused: "???"
She didn't expect Yi Lin's reaction to be so calm.
"So, yours is in Shipwreck Bay?"
Alice laughed, but said another thing: "Before Alice died, she cast a curse... Cursing that his soft hair will wither completely, and his charming voice will be as unbearable as a blower." , he will decay like a corpse, his skin will be covered with pustules that will never heal, and the stench from his body will make no one dare to approach him... Alice cursed him, cursed him with Alice's flesh and blood, and used the last Painful way to live well."
"As a price, Alice also became an undead." Alice closed her eyes intoxicated, and pointed in the direction of Shipwreck Bay: "Alice can feel that he is there..."
Shipwreck Bay?
Is it a coincidence or is it?
Yi Lin thought for a moment: "What's the name of your ex-boyfriend?"
"Hee hee, Nicholas Zhao! The man who is connected with Alice's fate."
Yi Lin: "..."
The moment she heard this name, Yi Lin didn't think about anything else, and she wasn't shocked, let alone surprised.
but—
"It turns out that there are people more unlucky than me in this role-playing mode."
After learning the complete horror version of "Alice's Honeymoon", Yi Lin silently mourned for a few seconds for the martyr who played "Nicholas Zhao".
Yi Lin finally decided not to dive into Shipwreck Bay for Alice in such an environment full of accidents.
If the guess is correct, there must be an important hidden plot side mission hidden in Alice. Once completed, it is very likely that the final mission evaluation will be greatly improved.
Just like the "treasure map of the touchstone".
Yi Lin really doesn't have so much energy and manpower to dig out more side plots and tasks.
Although it is a bit regrettable, there are gains and losses. Under Gu Tianqing's operation, the destruction of Shipwreck Bay is now a foregone conclusion.
I don't know who killed Nicholas Zhao in the end in this round of artillery fire.
After Alice finished telling the story, seeing that Yi Lin was completely unmoved and had no intention of landing in Shipwreck Bay, the corner of her mouth twitched and disappeared from Yi Lin's head.
The sound of gunfire outside the ship gradually subsided.
Gunpowder smoke filled the sea, and when Yi Lin wiped her face, it was full of residual gunpowder smell, which was extremely pungent.
It is conceivable how much firepower the nine warships invested in order to completely destroy Shipwreck Bay.
Sudden.
Erin lowered her head.
After the gunfire subsided, he waited for a long time for the reminder, but he was not late and appeared in front of Yi Lin on time.
"Sure enough." Yi Lin remained expressionless.
The paint on the mask was smeared by the rain into a man with a big face. Hearing this, his breath was stagnant.
But after a while, he laughed disdainfully again.
Nightmare?
hide?
Who are you fooling?
Who told you that low-level tactics such as bluffing can work against senior apostles?
Of course Yi Lin wasn't bluffing.
He was watching Dire's headlights flickering, how could he not know Dire's turbulent nature?
If you don't hold it down, it will transform into a Cybertron star in a blink of an eye, okay?
When everyone thinks that Dire is just an illegally modified motorcycle, it is undoubtedly a very good way to hide the hole card by letting it stay still for a while.
You can even put your hole cards under the opponent's nose, why not do it?
When Yi Lin said this, everyone except Mo Rendi changed their expressions.
Is this just a pre-dinner dessert?
Wait, how can there be dessert before the meal?
And at this moment.
Under the control of Zhao Yulong, the drone approached the worm tower, hoping to find out more information.
But suddenly.
The swarm of wriggling insects suddenly split open, revealing a vertical fissure about ten meters long, with a faint scarlet light shining through it.
Staring at the crack at this moment, it feels like an eye slowly opening.
Swish!
suddenly.
"Zizizi——"
On the screen from the drone, only a messy afterimage remained.
The bottom is gone.
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second:. Mobile version reading website:
