The Wheel of Chronos

In the darkness, the supposedly silent room was filled with the eerie throat sounds of beasts. The street lights outside the house shone in through the window, faintly and thinly, stretching the shadow of the beast long and projecting it on the wall on the left side of the entrance. superior.Tianyang held his breath, staring fixedly at the doorless entrance from the side dining room to the front large living room. In front of her, Xue Lun was very close to her, and her breath gently brushed Tianyang's ear , braided into a ponytail, a few strands of hair have been touching Tianyang's cheek.But Tianyang could clearly feel that Xue Lun's body was tense, ready to go.

The beast stepped out with a front paw and stepped over the boundary of the door. Tianyang's ability to see in the dark was not as good as Xue Lun's, but she still saw the paw clearly through the faint street light outside the window.The extremely ugly claws looked like those of a canine animal, but the claws were bare without hair, and there were vicious blue veins protruding from the skin, which looked very terrifying.The body of this beast is very light, and it walks almost silently, except for the uncontrollable guttural sound that keeps making it, revealing its existence.

With the two front paws all stepped out, the head of the beast was also exposed in Tianyang's line of sight.This is really a dog-like beast, but there is no hair on the whole body. The strange thing is that although the face of this beast is similar to a dog, it always feels weird, as if it has retained human facial features, and until this beast The whole picture of Tian Yang was completely revealed, and Tian Yang was sure what the hell this guy was.There is no hair covering the whole body, but there are insect carapaces on the back and abdomen. The hind limbs are bent towards the abdomen like human hind legs, not like dogs. The tail is short and small like a sarcoma, and it looks extremely ugly.

It's a predator, a predator that's almost hard to see these days.

Predators are a mutant race hatched from the Zergs laying eggs on the corpses of humans and animals under the double influence of nuclear radiation and the invasion of terrestrial Zergs after the Third Nuclear Weapons World War.After the eggs are hatched on human or animal corpses, most of them will break out and become new Zerg species, but some eggs fail to hatch during this process, and under the influence of nuclear radiation, they fuse with human or animal corpses , The DNA of the two was deconstructed and then recombined into a brand new DNA, thus this ugly and weird species was born.As the continent of Lemuria returns from the space rift, the spiritual gravitational waves radiating outward from the continent all the time have caused the death of a large number of Zergs and predators. These species, which were once the greatest threat to human survival, are now almost disappeared.

Most predators do not have a reproductive system, but there are exceptions. Tian Yang judged that the predator in front of him should have reproduced sexually, or this predator did not evolve naturally, because this predator Predators are a mixture of the genes of humans, dogs, and Zerg, and it is obviously not something that can be produced by simply hatching eggs.

Whether it's luck or misfortune, this predator has poor eyesight and is almost invisible, but it has an extremely sensitive sense of smell and hearing, which allows it to move without hindrance and has a strong tracking ability.Although Xue Lun stopped Tian Yang from making a sound in time, the scent of the two of them was clearly lingering at the tip of this predator's nose at this moment. This guy was very cautious. The attack was not easily launched.

It crouched in the living room with its body prostrate, facing Tianyang and Sharon in the hall, ready to go.Xuelun and Tianyang remained motionless, confronting him, and the situation fell into a stalemate.

"I'll act as soon as I give you the signal." After a moment of stalemate, Xue Lun spoke in Tianyang's ear almost silently, "I'll attract its attention, and you attack its side neck, that's its weakness."

"Okay." Tianyang answered silently.

Sharon turned her body sideways to face the predator, which was not a good posture to exert strength, but standing on the right side allowed her digital prosthetic eyes to clearly capture every move of the predator.And when she caught the slightest grip of the predator's hind paws, she reacted instantly.

She patted Tianyang suddenly, then turned around and rushed out first.With only a few tenths of a second left, the predator immediately launched an attack, roaring and pounced on the two.The predator's speed and explosive power were astonishing, almost in an instant, it had already pounced in front of Xue Lun, and opened its mouth to bite Xue Lun.Sharon directly raised her right arm and sent it over, and the predator bit her mechanical right arm.Sharon lowered her body, locked the predator's head with her left arm, and flew up with her right foot, hooking the predator's hind legs, and briefly controlled the ugly big guy with the ground noose technique.

The new mechanical arm is very powerful, and its toughness makes it impossible for the predator to bite through the defense.The ugly guy was restrained and struggled violently at once, but Xue Lun's mechanical prosthetic limb was extremely powerful, despite its brute strength, it couldn't break free for a while.It's just the biting posture, which made it impossible for Sharon to activate the short-barreled machine gun in the mechanical arm, otherwise a shuttle of bullets would be thrown into its stomach, and this guy would be dead.

Tianyang didn't stand in a daze either. After receiving the signal from Xuelun, she rushed out following Xuelun. While leaning forward, she took out the pistol she was carrying and quickly pulled the trigger to load it.The gun has always been hidden in the holster inside her coat. The situation has become unstable recently, and she no longer dares to walk on the street empty-handed.

When Xue Lun restrained the predator, Tian Yang had already rushed forward. She avoided the position where Xue Lun's arm was, pressed the muzzle of the gun against the skin of the predator's side neck, and fired three times in quick succession. "Bang bang bang", the sound of gunfire echoed in the house.Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, the beast's miserable howl was extremely terrifying. The bullet penetrated the throat, and the blood overflowing from the throat spread along the predator's mouth onto the body of Xue Lun below, instantly dyeing Xue Lun bloody.

The predator struggled to the death for nearly 2 minutes, and finally couldn't support it, and fell to the ground.But it's not dead yet, its body is still twitching.

Sharon pushed the ugly and smelly guy away, and pulled her arm out of the guy's mouth.The bottoming shirt and sweater she was wearing were torn, and there were holes in the sleeves through which the predator's fangs penetrated. As she withdrew her arm, the sleeves were torn into strips.Xue Lun's upper body was stained with stinky blood, making her look extremely embarrassed.

"I'm going to take a shower and I'll be back in a while. You dispose of the corpse." Sharon left this sentence and walked to the bathroom on the first floor. After taking two steps, she turned back and added:

"Oh, by the way, it's over. Go upstairs and find Old Jack and the others. They're in the westernmost room. Help clean up. We're about to leave. We can't stay here."

Tianyang watched her rushing to take a bath, and couldn't help laughing. This guy really has a cleanliness addiction, but the blood of the predator itself contains a strong virus, and it really needs to be cleaned in time, otherwise it may be infected.

How to deal with the corpses of predators was taught in the field combat class of the military academy.Build a closed combustion furnace and incinerate cleanly with solid fuel to avoid dust from incineration.It's the same now, Tianyang must burn the corpse as soon as possible, otherwise the corpse will be exposed to the air for a long time, and the decayed bacteria will further breed and pollute the entire block.

Just why are there predators here?Why did this predator get into the room where Sharon was hiding and attack Sharon by coincidence?This is obviously no coincidence.

Tianyang walked around the first floor of the house and found an incinerator for burning fallen leaves in the backyard of the house. She went back to the house, put on gloves, put on a raincoat over her clothes, and covered her face, and then started to burn the fallen leaves. The Eater's body was dragged to the backyard.The predator's body was too big to fit into the incinerator, so Tian Yang found a bone cutter from the kitchen, decomposed the body and threw it into the incinerator.Her movements are very agile, and the bone-chopping knife is considered sharp, so it doesn't take too much trouble.After the dismemberment was near the head, Tian Yang found a strange metal wire protruding from the predator's neck. She dragged along the wire, only to find that the metal wire was connected to the brain of the corpse. She pried the skull with a bone cutter and took out an electronic component from the predator's brain. The electronic component was bloody and stained with the predator's brain. She took it to the gardening pool beside it and rinsed it under the tap. Fan, and then sealed in a plastic bag.Immediately, she took off her raincoat, threw the raincoat and the bone-chopping knife into the incinerator, and then walked back into the house.

At that time, Sharon had already finished taking a quick shower, changed into clean and fresh clothes, and was packing her luggage with Old Jack, Aunt Joan and others on the second floor.This room is the room where old Jack took Aunt Joan and Miranda to hide just now.Just half a minute before Tianyang arrived at the door, Xue Lun noticed a monster sneaking in from the grove on the side of the building, and at the same time observed Tianyang's figure appearing at the back door.She asked Old Jack to guard Aunt Joan and Miranda and hide in the room. She quickly went downstairs and went directly to the back entrance hall to meet Tianyang. This was the scene where the two teamed up to subdue the predator .

Tianyang noticed that Miranda was curled up in a corner of the room, trembling, but Xue Lun, Old Jack, and Joan didn't pay much attention to her, and stepped up the speed of cleaning up.Seeing Tianyang come back, Xue Lun stuffed the clothes into the package and said:

"Slower than I expected, did you find anything?"

"Well, this one, I found it in the predator's brain." With that said, Tian Yang handed the electronic component sealed in a plastic bag to Sharon's hand.

"This seems to be a guiding device that can emit biological waves. It seems that the predator is indeed a vanguard sent by someone who specially raised it."

"Looking for you? Or did I attract you?" Tianyang asked.

"Neither, I guess I came to find Miranda." Sharon said, we will meet with Igarambo later, I just want to give him the insulin, and I also asked him to check this electronic component by the way. Check it out.

"Insulin?" Tianyang was a little confused, so Xue Lun pointed to Miranda in the corner, and Tianyang nodded thoughtfully.

They quickly packed up their things, and a group of five went down to the garage. An old-fashioned off-road vehicle was parked here. It had been parked here for an unknown amount of time, and it was covered with thick dust.Old Jack checked it, and it was still driving, so everyone cleaned up and got into the car, started the car and left.

Old Jack was driving the car, Aunt Joan was in the passenger seat, Xue Lun and Tian Yang were sitting next to each other in the back row, and Miranda was sitting on Xue Lun's right hand side.Miranda had just been frightened, and she was still frightened. Aunt Joan injected her with a sedative, and now she has fallen asleep.

"Do you still have somewhere to go now?" Tianyang asked Xuelun.

"I'm going to ask you this. Anyway, the two of us will go to the front line in the near future. The main purpose is to arrange for Old Jack, Aunt Joan and Miranda, especially Miranda. I plan to leave her to you. Look at it. Where can I do it?" Sharon said.

Tianyang was surprised for a moment: "Leave it to me? Do you trust my mother?" Before Tianyang had time to inform Xue Lun of the investigation results of the crash that he knew so far, he did not expect that Xue Lun gave her trust unexpectedly .

"At least with regard to Miranda, I believe in the position of the royal family, and I also believe that His Majesty the Emperor will handle it properly." Xue Lun said.

"Okay, leave this to me." Tianyang nodded solemnly.

Afterwards, Tianyang told Xue Lun in a low voice what happened to her during the day and all the new news she just learned.

"The military's investigation results are not much different from what I expected. It seems that it is right to be indifferent. When I investigated the crash, I thought that the absence of dead bodies was the biggest doubt. This matter should not have happened." Blame the military. Now it seems that it has something to do with some kind of conspiracy between the mainland of Lemuria and the rebel organization within the empire. The result of this incident caused the plane crash of my parents. Otherwise, Lemuria would not To launch a surprise attack on the front line at such a coincidental time point seems to be an intention to blame and shift the focus."

"It's another conspiracy. I can't figure out the current situation. I feel that there is something wrong with my mother's personal guards. Now there is another guy who raises and transforms predators to track Miranda. It's really inexplicable." .”

"You also feel this way? It seems that I am not the only one to conjecture." At that moment, he analyzed the conjecture of the situation that he had discussed with Old Jack and Aunt Qiong with Tianyang again.After hearing this, Tianyang agreed greatly, nodded and said:

"That makes it clear. In this way, the one who sent the predators tonight should be someone from the New World religion or conservatives?"

"This doesn't seem like the style of the New World Church. I suspect they are conservatives." As soon as Sharon finished speaking, the car had already arrived at the place agreed with Igarambo. This is an apartment building. There are people downstairs. A self-service laundry room, which is the agreed location.The car stopped on the side of the road opposite the laundry room. Sharon picked up the things to be handed over to Igarambo, wrapped them in a laundry basket full of dirty clothes that had been prepared, and said, "I'll come as soon as I go." , got out of the car, and went across the street.
