star hunter

Holding her breath, Xiaotao listened tremblingly to the movement from outside the cave, human voices, gunshots, screams, every sound made her heart startled.

If it wasn't for Zhong Yuncong's instructions, she would have lost her composure.

Suddenly there was another chaotic gunshot outside, mixed with the clank of cold weapons and the roar of people.

"Are you guys crazy..." She vaguely heard a strange and angry voice, and in an instant, the roar was replaced by a howl.

But among all the voices, Zhong Yuncong was the only one.

Xiao Tao's hair on the temples was wet with cold sweat, sticking to her forehead messily, her breathing was almost stagnant.

At this moment, Jiang Qiyan, who had been in a coma, didn't know whether he was awakened by the movement outside or was in too much pain, his body twitched suddenly, and he let out a painful moan. The girl was startled and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Jiang Qiyan seemed to feel very uneasy, and tried to shake his head, but he was weak and couldn't get rid of the hand. He raised his hand, held Xiaotao's thin wrist, and then remained motionless.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." The panicked girl said silently, "It'll be fine after a while..."

She didn't know how long she had been trembling in the dark, the thrilling noise finally passed, and the outside finally returned to calm.

But this kind of silence still couldn't make her feel at ease, her nails sank into her palm unconsciously, and she was still waiting for Zhong Yuncong's signal.

She didn't dare to move without hearing the three knocks.

She counted the time one by one, but at the end she was tormented, the time was so slow that it made people collapse.

Xiao Tao bit her lower lip tightly until the smell of iron permeated her entire mouth. At this moment, perhaps only pain can keep one awake.

About a century later, she finally heard the vibration from the stone wall.

The movement was so subtle and fragile that she almost suspected that she had an auditory hallucination.

Until the feeble sound repeated twice.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She put down Jiang Qiyan and groped out with hands and feet, her calf was scratched by sharp stone edges more than once, but she didn't seem to notice it.

After stumbling out of the cave, the first thing she saw was a pile of corpses on the ground. She turned pale in shock, and immediately heard a weak voice from the side.

"Xiao Tao..."

She turned left abruptly, and found that Zhong Yuncong was sitting on the edge of a bush, his whole body was almost covered in blood, his face was as pale as paper, but there was still a little smile on his lips.

"Don't be afraid, it's fine..."

She ran over, trying to help him up, but she didn't know where to put her hands—he was covered in blood.

"Don't cry...I'm not...cough cough, I'm not dead yet?" He raised his hand tremblingly, and gently brushed the corner of her eyes with his fingers, only then did Xiaotao realize that she had already burst into tears.

His hand dropped suddenly, and she heard his weak breathing: "But it won't last long...you run away...I've already..."

The girl was startled for a moment, then held his hands and said in a low voice, "You won't die."

Zhong Yuncong managed to raise his eyelids and glanced at her.

She wiped away her tears and smiled softly but firmly.

"I won't let you die."

Su Xian walked through the dense forest with ease.

That car must have been on a rampage like a mad cow, and the traces of the rampage were so obvious that he didn't need to pay attention at all, it was completely obvious at a glance.

I don't know which idiot drove the car.

Su Xian followed the remnants of the fallen trees all the way until he found the car stuck between the two trees.

"It really is the car of the picket team." Out of caution, he did not take out the flashlight to light it up, but observed with the help of the faint reflection from the snow. The license plate number verified his guess. He walked around the car, It was found that the car body was badly damaged and has been completely reimbursed.

The inside of the car was in a mess, but no one was there, and they almost escaped death.

However, the traces left by the other party ended here. The sky was too dark and there were too many obstacles in the forest. Even if there were clues left when fleeing, it was impossible to find them one by one in such a night.

This is luck, but also misfortune.

While deceiving the enemy, he accidentally lost his own people.

In any case, it's good news that no body was seen.

Su Xian stood beside the scrapped car, somewhat helpless, hesitating whether to continue searching or go back to rescue the soldiers first, but there was not much time left for him to hesitate—beams of light and human voices suddenly came from obliquely ahead.

He subconsciously hid behind a big tree almost the moment he heard the change, listening to the conversation.

——"Have you found it yet?"

——"The people who brought them are all searching, but it's too dark to find them."

——"Keep looking, they are injured and can't run far."

——"Speaking of which, there was a lot of blood left in the carriage, and at least one person was seriously injured."

——"That's right, so the other two are still carrying the seriously injured man, so it's even more impossible to go far, they must be nearby."

Hearing this, Su Xian's heart skipped a beat: Who was seriously injured?

From their conversation, we can know that there should be three people in Zhong Yuncong's party, and one of them is probably Jiang Qiyan.He just checked the seven corpses on the road, but he didn't find Jiang Qiyan among them.

As for the third person, maybe Jiang Qiyan's subordinate, he has no clue.

It's just that Zhong Yuncong, why did that guy get mixed up with the picket team again?

Su Xian's brows were frowned, and soon they were relaxed again. Forget it, now is not the time to think about it.

He was slightly distracted, and only heard the second half of the sentence over there-"...we must get our 'goods' back. As for the remaining two people, we should execute them on the spot."

--"clear!"

"Cargo" is the target of their operation this time, right?But who is the "cargo" among the three?And who are they?

When Su Xian was thinking hard, the sounds of conversation and footsteps of the other party were getting closer. He held his breath and concentrated his attention, and quietly peeked out, but all he could see was the familiar mask in black robe.

"shadow"!

This discovery made Su Xian startled. He never thought that it was this strange organization that had dealt with Zhong Yuncong and the others who were chasing and killing Zhong Yuncong and others.

A rather difficult old foe.

Could it be that Yingying advertised his identity as a non-infected person?

After the serial disappearances ended, Yingying escaped successfully, and as a member of the "Shadow" organization, it is entirely possible for her to report this matter.

This matter has always been a thorn in his back, but after this period of time, he has not heard such news, so he can't help but take chances.

But now, Zhong Yuncong is clearly caught in the "Shadow" pursuit,

In this way, even though Su Xian had a great headache, he had to admit that the target of "Shadow" was probably Zhong Yuncong.

—— "Among our 'partners', isn't there someone who has the ability of night vision? Is there no news from him?"

——"It is said that there is already a clue, and the scope of the search is being narrowed down."

The two men in black robes were already close at hand, and they had weapons in their hands. Su Xian did not panic. The original "Shadow" member "Chameleon"'s special skill, in front of the "Shadow" members, staged a good show of reciprocating the way of the other and giving back to the other.

The two men in black walked past him at a quick pace without realizing it, completely unaware that there was someone lurking on one side without a trace.

A mirror is a mirror, a scene, and a shape.

It sounds very cool, but Su Xian knows it well, even though he is very talented, when facing him, most of the supernatural beings don't mean to teach him everything, he can only hastily To put it bluntly, it is just a layer of fur, and the persistence time will not be too long, generally no more than 5 minutes.

Fortunately, these two people were in a hurry and didn't intend to stay for a long time. After the two sides opened a relatively safe distance, Su Xian released his disguise and followed behind secretly.

After following for a while, the two people stopped suddenly. Su Xian was startled and hid in the shadow of a tree. Just as he pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, a strange voice sounded.

——"...the location has been locked, it's in a small forest in the southeast..."

This voice was mixed with a lot of whirring electric sound, and it was intermittent. It sounded like it was coming from a walkie-talkie.

Sure enough, the next second, the man in black robe not far away replied, "We'll hurry there."

Su Xian listened clearly, knowing that the position of Zhong Yuncong and his group might have been exposed, and the "Shadow" probably sent a lot of people, if they rushed over like this, it would definitely be a disaster.

Seeing the two people walking forward quickly one after the other, Su Xian made a decisive decision. Instead of continuing to hide his whereabouts, he used teleportation and came silently behind the black-robed man who was slightly behind. At that moment, he stretched out his arm unexpectedly and locked the prey's throat, forcing the other party's cry for help back. After a little effort, his head limply tilted to one side.

"We need to hurry up..." The only surviving black-robed man hadn't heard the news of his companion's death. While urging him, he turned his head habitually. From the corner of his eyes, he vaguely caught a glimpse of his companion's upright and fallen figure, and he was startled. The submachine gun in his hand was about to be raised, but his neck felt cold. sound.

His eyes widened, his body fell forward uncontrollably, and the pain hit him belatedly, and he realized that his carotid artery was cut open.

His life was draining rapidly along with the blood. From the beginning to the end, he couldn't even see the assassin's face. Only at the last moment of consciousness, he vaguely felt that he came to his side and took away his gun and walkie-talkie.

After finishing off the two men in black robes, Su Xian headed all the way to the southeast according to the prompt in the walkie-talkie.

Holding the mentality of "killing one more person is one", he chose to continue to hide his figure, elusive all the way, and encountered black-robed men in twos and threes more than once. Using the assassination method, the four black-robed men were eliminated without anyone noticing.

This smooth sailing continued until he met the supernatural being with night vision ability.

The opponent's ability was not hidden. Although he was hiding in the shadows and had no intention of doing anything, he still couldn't hide it from the opponent's eyes. When the enemy was on guard, he couldn't solve it cleanly. , but reveals its own existence.

Even though the Night Sighter was seriously injured by him, he finally let him escape.

Su Xian didn't have time to chase after him. Now that the Dong Chuang incident happened, he had to find that guy before the "Shadow" members.

The walkie-talkie was useless, so he threw it away casually, and imitated the skill of "Wind Control", giving up fighting with "Shadow" and directly passing over the forest.

Not long after, he found the small forest in the southeast direction, and found a stone cave in the deepest part. He suspected that Zhong Yuncong and others were hiding in it, but he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Because he found those four bodies.

They were all dressed in black robes, with guns, machetes and other weapons at hand. It seemed that they were all members of "Shadow".

But the way they died... Su Xian's brows were tangled together, everyone's death was very tragic, one guy was almost split in half diagonally, the appearance of death was very horrific.

These people are killing each other.Su Xian made a judgment almost immediately, but he was puzzled—since they are both members of "Shadow", why did they disregard orders and start fighting each other instead?

It may be that there is some kind of quarrel between them, one of them can't hold back and the sky is dark.Su Xian didn't rule out this naive idea, but as a seasoned supernatural user, he knew that there was such a possibility, but it only accounted for 90.00% at most. As for the remaining [-]% Nine—that is, these people are influenced by others, and even their wills are controlled.

Even after figuring this out, Su Xian still couldn't believe it: What?Among the three of them, apart from Zhong and Jiang Qiyan, is there another unknown and powerful person with supernatural abilities?

In any case, facing a pile of corpses, he couldn't come up with any more answers, so he simply jumped down from the tree, ready to find out the truth.

When he landed, he accidentally touched a branch, which made a very slight noise. He wanted to observe in the dark for a while, but he didn't expect that there was someone guarding the hole, and the guards were quite sensitive.

The other party moved upon hearing the sound, and handed out the gun without hesitation.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Su Xian simply appeared. They stood facing each other and raised their guns towards each other almost at the same time.
