1416 "Mutants"

Air Combat Wizards Section, Section Chief's Office.

At this time of night, the office was unexpectedly crowded with people.

In addition to Furlong, who is an air combat mage, there are three people here.

These three people are the three members of the spy team standing at the top of "Mistegan"—— Chloe, Bifang, and Yuri.

At this moment, the three of them were called here and lined up in front of Furlong.

And the reason for being called here is also very simple.

"Frequent attacks by small magic beetles?"

After hearing about this matter from Furlong, all three present frowned.

"That's right." Furlong nodded expressionlessly, and said, "Recently, small groups of beetle beetles have frequently broken into the air defense circle of , although each group is not strong. , but the frequency of attacks is very high.”

This seems to be the reason why Furlong called the secret service team over.

In other words, for this matter, Furlong wanted to discuss countermeasures with the members of the secret service team.

only...

"It's just an attack by a small magic beetle. Is it necessary to dispatch a special agent team?"

The other party said this with some doubts.

Although he acts in his own way, and his ability to handle affairs is not as good as Chloe's, but the other party is actually a person with a very high fighting instinct. If he is faced with a battle or a crisis situation, he can usually use his unexpected quick thinking to construct Create tactics and actions that others can't imagine.

So, don't look at the other party's foolish appearance, in fact, he is surprisingly good at analyzing the situation, and when faced with critical situations, he can often display stronger abilities than Chloe.

Therefore, the other party probably already smelled the danger, and realized that things are not that simple, right?

After all, is currently sailing on a route far away from the mainland, and the patrol route is not considered dangerous. Although it is impossible to avoid the attacks of the demon beetles that have already spread all over the world, at best it is as Furlong said. , the incoming attacks are all not very strong groups, relying on the daily patrol and sentry squad should be enough to deal with it.

Even though there were frequent attacks, if nothing happened, Furlong would never call the spy team over, that's what the other party thought.

as expected...

"...The D-class team that was in charge of the night sentry mission last night has lost contact, and the signs of life are completely undetectable."

Furlong was silent for a while, and then said such words with a still expressionless face.

"...!"

The expressions of Bifang, Chloe and Youli suddenly became tense.

"I see..."

Chloe showed a painful expression.

"Has a victim already appeared?"

Yuri bit her lip too.

If there are victims, that is already a very serious situation.

Not to mention...

"During the final contact, the captain of the D-level team sent a final message, and the word "mutant species" was mentioned in the message. "

Furlong's statement,

Just now I told everyone what the real reason for summoning the spy team was.

"Has there actually been a mutant?"

There was a stern look on his face.

"No wonder the secret service team needs to be called..."

Chloe was also taken aback.

Demon beetles are not uniform, but are divided into different types according to their characteristics and levels.

Generally speaking, magic beetles are divided into small, medium and large.

The threat of small magic beetles is not great. Even in the past, ordinary air combat mages can easily deal with it, not to mention that after the influence of Luo Zhen, the magic technology has greatly improved. Even the weakest air combat mages can It can easily deal with a group of small magic beetles. The magic beetles of this level usually rely on numbers to win, and the strength of a single player is not outstanding.

The medium-sized beetle is different, whether it is size, strength or attack method, it is far superior to the small ones, and even according to the individual, there are differences in melee type, far-range type, shelling type, etc. , Ordinary air combat mages can't handle it, only teams above D level can handle this level of magic beetle.

As for the large demon beetles, they already exist in another dimension. Not only do they have an extremely large size, but their strength is also extraordinary. Just one beetle can threaten a floating city, and most of the floating cities that have been destroyed so far have fallen into the hands of such beetles, which can be called a major threat to human beings.

However, this is not the most threatening magic beetle.

The most threatening demon beetle is an individual that has mutated in the form of the above demon beetle, and then obtained terrible performance, characteristics or power.

That is mutants, the greatest threat to humanity.

The simplest example is that among the currently known mutant beetles, there are individuals who have evolved a high degree of intelligence and have the ability to command the beetles.

This shows how much of a threat they are to humans.

Yuri quickly asked.

"Are the mutants that appear medium-sized?"

Generally speaking, medium-sized beetles are more likely to mutate, and small ones have almost no possibility of mutating.

As for the large magic beetles, because they are very rare, the chance of mutation is also very low.

Therefore, medium-sized mutant beetles are more common, and they are not too threatening.

Unfortunately, Yuri was disappointed.

"According to the analysis of the Intelligence Technology Section, the mutant species that appeared this time should be large and possess high intelligence. The small demon beetle groups that frequently attack today are probably the cannon fodder sent to detect. The D-level team last night It should be wiped out by it."

Furlong stated this fact with a heavy tone.

"this..."

Yuri was speechless for a moment.

"A large mutant beetle..."

"That's enough to threaten the life and death of the floating city. It's really a tricky situation."

Chloe and Bifang also thought about it.

"The purpose of calling you here this time is to prepare you well." Furlong said: "If the Information Technology Division can successfully discover the traces of the large-scale mutant species, before it approaches , we must Attack first and annihilate it."

But to deal with large-scale mutants, the attack of the special agent team is already inevitable.

"You are the trump card of , so this matter is only notified to you for now, don't spread it casually, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."

Furlong ordered so.

At this time...

"That...that..."

Yuri suddenly spoke hesitantly.

"Do you want to inform Senior Luo Zhen?"

In a word, the office became silent.

Bi Fang and Chloe returned to their usual expressions, one scratching his head helplessly, the other covering his mouth and chuckling.

Even though she is usually so rebellious in front of Luo Zhen, at this time, the first thing Youli thinks of is always Luo Zhen, which makes people feel like looking at a junior who is not frank.

On the contrary, Furlong looked extremely angry.

"If possible, I would also like to inform him. Considering that man's personality, I don't think he will take the initiative to send out missions now."

There was a rare complaint in Furlong's words.

until...

"I'm so sorry."

When such an indifferent voice sounded, everyone froze one after another.
