Chapter 196 Blood Cross
The more the investigation was carried out, the more terrified the captain of the [-]th team became——the corpses had been found, counted, and placed on the square.Logically speaking, these corpses should be cremated as soon as possible to avoid troubles such as plague.But because the above required them to conduct a careful inspection of the scene to find out what happened, the members of the [-]th team had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the inspection.

Not only that, because the matter was of great importance, after that, the Black Hawk Regiment sent an elite regiment and three teams to take over Siren Town again and assist the [-]th team to investigate here.

However, the more information obtained from the investigation, the more terrified everyone became.Dead people are not surprising, and in fact, there are almost conclusions about how these people died.As far as the current situation is concerned, most of these people died of freezing, drowning, or electrocution, and some of them—many of them were high-level people, were directly pierced through their throats. Open the body, and then died.

This discovery made many people heave a sigh of relief. After all, before this, the rumor that Kraken Town was wiped out by the Kraken was widely circulated in the Black Hawk Regiment. This is also the disadvantage of the energy network. Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.In the front, the Black Hawk Regiment can still ensure the information blockade, but in the back, more and more manpower is needed, and the news will naturally spread more and more widely.Although most people can strictly abide by the secrecy regulations, there are always people in the world who are going to die, not to mention the things in the energy network, no one knows how to distinguish them.So the tragedy of Sea Demon Town quickly spread, not only well known within the Black Hawk Regiment, but other forces also heard about it.

The Black Hawks were furious about this, but there was nothing they could do.The energy network is such a double-edged sword. It is impossible for anyone to truly keep secret information. Unless the nodes are completely isolated into an alternative regional network like the Dream City, otherwise, as long as there is a caring person who wants to investigate any news , then ignoring the influence of distance, everything else must be fine.

In addition, several hostile forces took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, fanning the flames and spreading rumors everywhere that the Black Hawk Group had provoked some monsters, so Kraken Town was attacked and destroyed.Such rumors are spreading more and more outrageous day by day. Although the Black Hawks have issued a gag order on this, it is of little significance—after all, no one can be sure what the people around them are doing with the system turned on, right?Who knows if they are contacting their superiors or spreading rumors?
In fact, even within the Black Hawk regiment, they are more or less timid. After all, the complete destruction of Siren Town is too strange. At first, I was a little skeptical that this was true.After all, it's the end of the wasteland. Alien species are running all over the place, familiars are flying all over the place, and mutants are gathering together. Who knows how many strange and terrifying things will exist in this world now.

However, when the investigation report came out, several high-level officials breathed a sigh of relief—let’s not mention those who died of freezing, electrocution, and drowning for no reason. It was made like this, which also showed that it was not some kind of monster, but man-made.

But the question is... how did the other party do it?
"We have already conducted an investigation. On the night of the incident, no one received a report from Kraken Town for help."

"Fire Girl" stretched out her hand unhappily, and lit the table little by little. With her movements, a big hole was burned on the wooden table, but the others obviously didn't care about this little thing, they He just browsed the investigation report and photos mainly presented by the No.18 team with a serious expression.

Gunshot wounds—almost all of them were fatal in one blow, and judging from the positions of the corpses, almost no one responded. Similarly, those who were killed by knives did not have the slightest sign of struggle and resistance.

But this report made everyone in the Black Hawk regiment even more confused. Without communication, they could also think that there might be someone among them who could isolate the network communication... The ability users in the world have all sorts of abilities. It is not entirely impossible to have such an ability.But even if the communication is cut off, even if the opponent is very powerful, as the elite of the Black Hawk regiment, it is impossible for Siren Town to resist at all. At the very least, they should leave a message.

But right now, death without the slightest resistance made the situation even more complicated.This means that the entire Kraken Town seemed to be unaware of any problems until the moment of death.

And this is the biggest problem.

Fortunately, they are not without clues.

"Who knows, what sign is this?"

"Thor" stretched out his hand, took out a photo and put it on the table, and then clicked --- that was the flag of the Black Hawk regiment in Siren Town, but the difference was that at the moment it was on the flag of the Black Hawk Regiment On the black pattern of an eagle about to fly, there is a blood-red cross mark - it is obvious that it is the mark left by the other party.

It is also the only useful information that can be counted.

"do not know."

Glancing at the photo in front of him, the "clown" laughed.

"I don't remember seeing anyone use such a tasteless sign, though."

"Me too."

"Fire Girl" pursed her lips, and looked back as if disgusted.

"The rats that have been bothering us are not such a symbol, and as far as I know, there seems to be no famous mercenary group or organization in this area that uses the blood cross as a symbol."

"Then is it an outsider? Who has the guts to provoke us on our territory?"

"There is one."

However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded, and everyone looked up, only to see a man standing there in the shadow not far away, staring at them silently like a ghost.

"Not so long ago."

"You mean...the guy in Dream City?"

Hearing this, "Fire Girl" also raised her eyebrows. Speaking of which, several high-level officials of the Black Hawk Regiment almost forgot about this person and this matter. In their view, since "Rock" came out, then That person must be dead.And even though "The Rock" hasn't contacted them until now, everyone knows the characteristics of the Dream City, so they don't care too much.

But now, "Killer" raised the possibility.

"I don't think that's possible."

Hearing this, "Fire Girl" was the first to express objection.

"There are not [-] or [-] people who want to kill our Black Hawk regiment. It's not like we haven't encountered a powerful person who can wipe out one of our elite teams before, but so what? If that person can really Killing the entire Kraken Town without anyone noticing, then he killed 'Rock' in the blink of an eye. Moreover, according to 'Rock''s report, the other party only brought a cat and a little girl, and we When the representative was killed, it was not so strange, he died unknowingly."

Speaking of this, "Fire Girl" couldn't help clapping her palms.

"And, even if he did it, we don't even know who he is."

"No, we know."

"Ugh?"

Hearing the "killer"'s answer, the three people present were taken aback, and the next moment, the "killer" threw a stack of documents on the table.

"He's 'Doctor.'"

"doctor?"

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but frowned, and then "Thor" spoke thoughtfully.

"This name... I seem to have heard it somewhere?"

"He is from the wilderness area, one of the seven giants in the ninth district."

"ninth District?"

The Shadow of the Famous Tree, although the Black Eagles have not had any substantive contact with the Ninth District because the City of Dreams blocked the road, but as the leading force of one side, they should at least have a strong influence on other leading forces in the nearby area. Forces understand.As the overlord of the wilderness, the Ninth District will certainly not be out of their sight.

"What's the situation? Is the Ninth District planning to do something to us?"

Hearing this, the voice of "Thunder God" suddenly became darker, and even the "Fire Girl" burst into scorching flames with a "huh" all over her body, making crackling noises as if the air was about to be scorched. sound.Only "Joker" still smiled heartlessly, as if he didn't care about these at all.

"It's not."

Since he dared to express his own judgment, it was obvious that the killer had known the information in advance.

"The Ninth District is different from our Black Hawks. They are not so much an organization as a loose alliance. The so-called Big Seven are actually nothing more than a coalition of seven forces, and that 'doctor' is one of them." one."

"Hey, that means, that bastard came to our territory with his forces, and made trouble for our Black Eagles?"

Hearing this, Huo Nu's eyes suddenly widened.

"Very good, I want to see how many people this arrogant bastard has under his command, and dare to fight head-on with our Black Eagles!!"

"one person."

"...What did you say?"

"According to intelligence, the 'doctor' has always been a loner, and has never had any influence..."

"Ha, how is it possible?"

This time, before the "killer" finished speaking, he was interrupted by the "fire girl".

"In the wasteland, how can a powerful person with great power have no one under him? Most likely, his people are better at hiding themselves. This is not a problem for our Black Hawk regiment. We have already arranged a lot of people here. In [-], as soon as there are new faces, we will be able to detect them immediately! It’s better to do this! Let’s give orders now and let the people under our hands stare at them! As long as there are guys we don’t know, we will arrest them all!!”

"...As I said, there is only one person. Doctors always act alone. This is well known in the Ninth District. It is not a secret at all."

Facing the fury of "Fire Girl", "Killer" just shrugged his shoulders and finished his next words calmly, then he glanced at Fire Girl and continued talking.

"According to the information, the 'Doctor' has eliminated various organizations relying on the gathering places more than once, and...his symbol is the 'Red Cross'."

After saying this, "Killer" nodded to everyone, and then stood back in the shadow of the corner, indicating that he had finished what he could say.

But these information, instead of being able to answer the questions of several other people, created more doubts.

"Then, it was this 'doctor' who wiped out Kraken Town? Why did he?"

"Fire Girl" widened her eyes, looking completely incomprehensible.Logically speaking, it is understandable for the strong to want to kill people to build up their prestige, but basically, this kind of prestige has a purpose.Either show your strength to attract more people's allegiance, or show your fearfulness to make others submit.But according to what the "killer" said, this guy called "doctor" has always been alone and has never formed a force, so why is he doing this?
In this regard, "Fire Girl" is completely incomprehensible.

"No matter what, it seems that this 'doctor' is the most suspicious."

Until this time, "Thor" who had been silent until now finally spoke.

"Although we don't know why the other party came here, it is a fact that our Black Hawk regiment has been attacked. In any case, what we have to do now is to first raise our guard and ask other places not to cause any more trouble. Sea Monster Town has become like this now , we must increase our troops to defend. According to the information I have received, several forces are already eager to try and attack us again through this matter. We must be very careful about this... In short, what we can do at present , is to be vigilant, to impose a curfew, to guard against attacks from the outside, and to search from the inside at the same time—since they attacked Kraken Town, it is obviously possible to attack our gathering again. Order everyone to be on high alert and find strangers Immediately report that the 'doctor' is also a human being, and it is impossible for a human being not to eat or drink, as long as we strengthen our vigilance, we will definitely find these guys' cheating feet and catch them all!"

Having said this, "Thor" hammered the table vigorously, then he raised his head and looked at several other people.

"Anyone else have an opinion?"

Facing "Thor"'s inquiry, "Joker" nodded with a grin, still in the same heartless manner.And "Fire Girl" has nothing to say, what she can say, "Thor" has already said, and as for "Killer", it is obvious that she has no intention of making any further comments on this.

"Very good, then we will take action based on this..."

"Dong dong dong."

Before "Thor" finished speaking, suddenly, there was a hasty knock on the door. Hearing the knock, "Thor" frowned in dissatisfaction, and then spoke.

"Come in."

Accompanied by "Thor"'s words, his adjutant rushed in like this, his face was pale, his whole body was trembling and he shouted.

"It's not good! My lord! Something happened!!"

"What's the matter? What happened? Calm down and speak slowly."

Seeing his appearance, "Thor" became nervous again, and at the same time, a bad premonition quickly surfaced deep in his heart.

Could it be that………

"Just now the falcon patrol team sent news...Korov...Korov's gathering place has been wiped out!!"

"what?!!"

Hearing this, "Thor" finally stood up unbearably, and at the same time, he only felt his heart sinking.

The bad premonition came true.
