Invincible Chapter 737
"Coffey, find a place with few people nearby." Kane ordered while preparing.
Coffey responded, and continued to drive the ravaged miserable luxury car through the traffic.
Kane is now a little thankful that when he was hospitalized, he completed some seemingly inconspicuous and meticulous projects, such as firmly memorizing the traffic map of the metropolis.
Although it is memorized through magic, it takes some trouble to match the map with the real scene one by one.
First of all, he remembered it himself, and then instilled it into Kofi, so that this puppet's familiarity with the city is no less than that of taxi drivers with 20 years of service.
A sudden turn, smoke from the wheels, and clear marks on the road surface caused a number of cars to turn suddenly and slightly scratch. The gap between the buildings is not wide.
Behind it is a small park square, even in the winter, you can still see the exquisite details, it is surrounded by buildings, the setting sun can only shine in from between the buildings, so it looks dark and there are no people.
Kane's car was like a big fish that suddenly jumped out of the pool, breaking the tranquility here, crashing into a bush, and stopped.
The car door was wide open, and Kane got out of the car calmly. He was already dressed neatly. In addition to an upgraded sci-fi-style modular armor, he was also wearing a slightly loose buckle that relied on key parts to make it less burdensome. jumpsuit.
In addition to the high elasticity and bulletproof function of the spider silk-like fabric, this one-piece suit is more importantly designed to deal with shock waves.
The interior is inflated instantly through the spell to form a hollow bag, which can effectively reduce the shock wave damage. This is not easy to do with close-fitting modular armor. After all, the material technology of this era and the upper limit of the technological upgrade that Kane can achieve now are there, and the shortcomings can only be made up by more cumbersome means.
Kane did not linger in the empty garden square, but walked towards a building at a leisurely pace.
On the other hand, Kofi, who is short and half the size of Kane, walks with a strong sense of rhythm. After getting out of the car, he walks to the back of the car. With force, he lifts the deformed back cover of the car and takes out a 70L car from the inside. The mountaineering bag is on his back, and the other is a high-precision semi-automatic rifle that is easily mistaken by ordinary people for a sniper rifle (so-called continuous sniper).
Both the master and the servant were unusually calm. When they arrived at the back door of the building, Kofi smashed the lock with his fist, and then forced the door open. Kane, who entered the door, waved to several police cars that rushed into the small square one after another. ,
Meaning: Come with me!
Not long after entering the building, two security guards rushed over with flashlights and stun guns in their hands.
Kane made a head start, flashing the badge he had acquired less than two hours ago, "I'm Kevin Fox of the NSA, and I'm being hunted down by terrorists pretending to be police officers. I want to take advantage of this situation to go to the police and leave the building so as not to was silenced."
The two security guards looked at each other, and after a while, they chose to recognize the identity Kane said. Not only because Kofi held the main battle rifle but never pointed it at the two of them, but also because Kane had a strong aura, and he just returned to his company and scolded his security guards. with distinction.
At this time, the chasers had rushed into the building one after another, and the ones who rushed to the front had already turned the corner, and they could see Kane and the others. Just as he was about to shoot, he was preempted by Kofi, who shot a hole in his forehead and fell on his back. Before he died, he pulled the trigger of the gun and fired halfway. Random shooting.
The two security guards shrank their necks and rushed forward. One of them called for help through the intercom while running, but Kane and Kofi seemed to be facing each other in the hail of bullets. They didn't seem to care about the flying bullets at all. Kane was walking in front, and Kofi was covering behind. Two people rushed out with guns, but they couldn't survive for a second before they were shot and killed by Kofi.
At the same time, Kofi was also hit twice by stray bullets. Of course, it didn't bother him at all, only two smoking holes were punched in his clothes.
Pushing the door and entering the stairwell, Kane climbed up the steps. After reaching the third floor, he directly destroyed the lock on the tempered glass door and pushed the door in.
This building is an office building, and there are several company offices inside. Kane is now entering one of them.
In the hall, there are many tables and chairs, and the grid fans are stacked. The style is similar to the office area of ordinary employees of the software company where Neo worked in the "Matrix". It represents fashion in this era, but in Kane's eyes, it is naturally outdated. sharp.
Still, it's well suited to be a battlefield.
Across the entire hall, Kane found a chair and sat down, facing the other end of the main entrance. The partition door blocked his view, but it didn't matter, he had a sharper perception than his eyes and he had a suit of magic pendants beside him. The perception radius has been increased a lot.
The sun had already set, leaving only the last ray of light. At the end of the dusk, the night drew on. Although there was a row of large windows on one side of the hall, the office area was very dark, it might as well be completely dark.
The chaser got into position very quickly, and probably found the broken door lock.
But this time they learned the tricks and threw the smoke bombs in first.
Kane smiled secretly: "I'm quite well prepared."
In his eyes, ordinary people, even military elites who are old in battle, are just appetizers. The main reason is that spells are almost incomprehensible to them. This gap is so large that it makes people desperate. In addition, there is also the first-enemy advantage brought about by the perception of extraordinary people.
Beside him, Kofi had already handed him the utensils one by one from the big bag.
Ma Zai carries the bag. This bag refers to Kofi's back. It contains the utensils he uses, not Kofi's.
Speaking of this, it is necessary to point out a special point in this world, that is, it is best not to touch storage items such as space wrist wheels and rings, even the most low-end items such as storage charms are also taboo.
Because space and time are closely related, and the Hound of Tindalos is an undead monster inhabiting angular time, once it involves abnormal use of time, it is easy to be targeted by them, and if it is not killed, there is not much oil and water, maybe Whenever it comes out to attack, God is annoying.
And there is no space to store magic, so the big bags and small bags look a little unrefined. Carrying assistants are becoming more and more necessary.
Of course, Kane and Kofi can communicate normally without dialogue. Usually talking is to deliberately cultivate the habit of normal master-servant interaction. After all, the secular environment is the main active environment.
After the special magic ballista was assembled, Kane fired directly across the entire office area.
The crossbow pierced through layers of obstacles and hit the target directly. It was ridiculous that those people were still sneaking around, thinking that this would achieve a certain concealment effect, and those objects in the office area could also provide them with protection.
Now that he was hit, he was still in a state of confusion, but soon, the severe pain made him no longer have the time to think about it. His thinking had been disturbed by the pain and stopped, and he instinctively let out a horrifying scream of the listener.
Not only does it sound miserable, but it also looks miserable. The vein-like texture of red roots is embossed like an earthworm on the surface of the skin. It is a vein eroded by toxins, and the pain caused by it flows like lava.
The first stage of the magic version of Extremis Virus, this is an extraordinary power with bioelectricity as its root energy. If it is in a world without demons, then it will end in two stages, and in a world with demons, there will be a third stage of fire elementalization . As for this super-magic world, Kane felt that there might be a fourth stage.
Kane had many nicknames in his previous life, one of which was 'Natural Hydra'. The origin of this nickname was that he had the habit of abandoning hero units and doing 'everyone is like a dragon', and he was good at creating monsters based on the environment. Various types of puppet cannon fodder troops, and the Hydra organization in the Marvel Universe, is good at making miscellaneous soldiers, not much better than ordinary people, but its fanaticism of fearless death is impressive.
Echo Kane has not lost this set of skills, but after all, it is limited by its own environment, and some systems are not suitable. For example, he also mastered the life and soul system, but that set has the foundation of a dark force contractor to maximize its power.
The Extremis virus, on the other hand, complements the path he has drawn up in this world, and he can even try "everyone gathers firewood to make flames high", using a large number of Extremis virus puppets as terminals to support him to quickly increase his upper limit of strength.
But for now, it's just an ambush pen and a test. After all, his resolution of the extraordinary laws of this world is still too low, and drastic operations are likely to fail.
The Extremis virus can not only turn people into Superman, but also turn people into unstable bio-energy bombs.
The situation in front of him is like this, Hold can't hold it, and it directly shows the characteristics of a melting furnace, as if the body is connected to the fire elemental plane, and the lava surges rapidly, so that before the skin is burnt, it presents a light transmission like a human skin lantern effect, and then exploded with a 'boom'.
Kane curled his lips secretly as he 'looked'. From an energy point of view, the explosive power is obviously much lower. It really is bound by laws, not as powerful as in other magical worlds.
For those who live in Hold, they are always controlled in a state of being on and off. It is very painful, but it has not lost control.
In fact, from a certain point of view, it would be better to die. Because from this moment on, the struggle of wills caused by the pain will become a daily subject, until the body and mind are fully adapted to the Extremis virus.
Extremis virus, as the name suggests, drives people to a dead end. Only those with strong will, indestructible and indestructible, can survive. At that time, they are only seed players, and the second stage is when the real chapter will be seen. Basically, only by relying on a large base of probability can qualified candidates come forward. Therefore, although Desperate Superman is awesome, it is really difficult to be born.
Kane's use of the Extremis virus will basically be at the 1.5 stage, which is equivalent to cultivating a group of about 3 levels (X-Men rating, the highest level is 5, only the black phoenix with all restraints released, and a certain parallel universe, Iceman who can play with absolute zero in the universe is up to the standard, Magneto in peak state and Professor X with the help of equipment are level 4,) mutants with flame abilities, and at the same time relying on the activation of cells brought about by the abilities, all aspects of the body The index can also exceed the limit of human beings, and it has the demeanor of a magic swordsman, and it is just enough to fight underwater.
Seven or eight people were shot in a row, either exploding or dying. The chasers finally realized that doing this was simply delivering food to their own side, and even if they were all dead, they might not be able to see the target. So he left in disgrace.
But soon it went to extremes again, brought out the RPG, and tried to send it to the other side of the hall. As a result, he was taught to be a human being again, and Kofi reacted very quickly. After receiving the information from Kane, he stood up and fired a shot, and then the RPG grenade warhead was bombed again, completely destroying the surrounding area.
The pursuers were finally willing to rest.
In fact, the action did not stop. In the small square, the witches were already in place. They found the hair from Kane's car, and used it as a medium to launch the curse.
In the office building, Kane smiled. It is a good habit he has always maintained to avoid hair, dander, etc. from being scattered and let others collect them as sources of analysis and curses. Those hairs on the car were left on purpose to deceive people.
The four witches cast a joint spell, and the cauldron they used exploded, blasting a fissure emitting gray light, and from inside emerged a Shoggoth.
Shoggoths are creatures created by the ancient races who came to this world 1 billion years ago. The ancient races used them as construction tools because they can change into any shape and perform many tasks.
The shoggoth was as black as asphalt in the light, and the stench of the shapeless body looked like a protoplasmic swelling with a faint glimmer.
The spooky part is that tens of thousands of green-glowing, pus-like eyes are constantly forming and disintegrating on its surface.
Simply put, this thing looks like a nightmare version of the slime monster without the controller giving the shaping command. Its mode of action is wriggling and flowing, and its speed is not slow, and it will generate various forms of limbs as needed, the most common being tentacles and mouthparts with sharp knives.
Oddly enough, they utter a frightening, mocking cry: Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!
For Kane, the nightmarish appearance of Shoggoth doesn't make him feel scared, at most it feels disgusting, and even under certain circumstances, he finds it funny.
But for the witches who cast curses, this is a standard mythical creature, and San value will be reduced when they meet.
Coupled with the backlash effect caused by the failure of the curse, he immediately fell into a state of panic.
Then they were captured by Shoggoths. Dozens of tentacles entangled their bodies, and then pulled them into many pieces like tearing paper, and then chewed them through their pulverizer-like mouthparts. The scene was extremely cruel and bloody.
Some of the black police officers lingering in the small square were terrified when they saw this. Some of them expressed their fury due to excessive fear and fired wildly with their guns. In the end, they were also entangled by tentacles that suddenly protruded like frog tongues, and followed in the footsteps of witches. .
It's a pity that the world is running non-stop, the power of repair is very strong, the cracks cannot last long, and the Shoggoth can only shrink reluctantly, retreating away like a cloud of smoke that has been sucked away.
The loud siren sounded from far to near, more than a dozen police cars were about to arrive, and the pursuers retreated. In fact, the strategy of this operation is to force Kane through conventional means, making him make mistakes in his busy schedule, and then let the witches perform the killing blow.
Now that the witch's lore failed and she was tricked, the operation was considered a complete failure. There is no need to continue the stalemate.
Before withdrawing, the pursuers shot and killed two companions who were infected by the Extremis virus but did not explode, and temporarily lost their ability to move. They also used incendiary grenades to burn the corpses of the comrades shot and killed by Coffey, as well as the vehicles they used when they came, and even their coats and firearms were piled together and burned.
After a simple change of makeup, they blended into the bustling crowd under the night.
When Oliver Dane arrived, he only saw Coffey.
"Where's Mr. Fox?" Dane asked.
"bathroom."
Dane's face suddenly became a little strange, because he thought of the scene where Kane was holding the pot glutinous rice at noon.
After waiting for a while, Kane appeared, looking nothing like he had just experienced a fierce chase.
Kane was a little surprised to see Dane. "This level of fighting can also work for you? I feel a little flattered."
"Before boarding the plane, I received the mission and heard that something happened on your side, so I rushed over here. How is the situation on your side?"
"Does not hinder participation in mission operations."
"Okay, let's talk as we walk."
So the mess was handed over to the newly arrived MF, while Kane and Kofi drove directly to the airport with Dane, and boarded a private small commercial airliner.
"What are the requirements for dinner? It is nutritious and sufficient?"
"No, thick rice porridge and a large mixed vegetable salad are fine."
Dane said to the stewardess: "I'm still the same, health soup."
The stewardess looked at Kofi, and Kane said, "He doesn't need it."
So the flight attendant saluted and left.
"It seems that you fly a lot."
Dane nodded, "If you want to get ahead, you have to take the initiative to find something to do. Then you find that there are a lot of things to do."
"Don't use teleportation spells, are you worried about the Hound of Tindalos?"
Dane nodded again. "I'm not brave enough in that regard."
"The main reason is that it is too troublesome after being provoked."
In the old branch system, the Tindalos hounds were regarded as higher-level independent creatures, and their combat effectiveness was actually the same. Kane was not afraid of them now because they were simply tearing them apart.
The problem is that this kind of thing has a characteristic of the true god. In Xianxia's words, it is bound to the Dao.
And this Tao is about time, and it is difficult to describe it in detail. Roughly speaking, human beings live in a curved continuous time. Since life is just a short section of this curve, we basically don't feel the curvature, but think it is a straight line.
The Hounds of Tindalos inhabit islands of discrete angular time.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for the two to intersect, but space-time magic may cause a connection to occur, allowing the Hound of Tindalos to obtain coordinates. Then these hungry dimensional creatures will travel through time and space to hunt.
Space magic, to a certain extent, is equivalent to reducing time. This is the main point that space and time are often said to be closely related. Therefore, it is also possible to connect isolated islands from the perspective of time, and let the Tindalos hounds discover.
In terms of appearance, this kind of dimensional creature has nothing to do with the hounds recognized by humans. They are called hounds, and they are classified entirely based on their persistent hunting attitude and ability to travel through time and space.
Another disgusting thing about Tindalos hounds is that those who have witnessed them will also be locked and hunted by them. The two-way locking in time and space caused by this kind of vision fits the sentence "When you stare at the abyss, the abyss also I'm staring at you', so it is sometimes used by some people with ulterior motives or broken pots to deceive people.
When Kane brought up this topic in the conversation, he also wanted to know Oliver's attitude in this regard. After all, the other party has the conditions to provoke the Hound of Tindalos. He will try to stay away as much as possible, at least until he prepares a special imprisoning tool, he doesn't want to be missed by the space-time assassin.
After chatting about something else, the topic finally returned to this mission.
Oliver said that he did not know the specific circumstances, the only thing he knew was that, first of all, this was a rescue mission. Secondly, the lineup is very luxurious, including him and Kane.
The plane flew at Mach 0.9 for nearly three hours, across the entire country, from coast to coast. This air journey was quite pleasant for Kane. There was a good cook on the plane, and the meals provided were unexpectedly delicious, and he squinted for a while afterwards.
Due to the cross-time zone, the plane landed, and it was just the first lights here. However, Kane and Oliver did not leave the airport, but waited in the VIP lounge for a while, and then were led to a special area to board a helicopter belonging to the NSA. This made Kane realize that the extraordinary force he is currently working for is indeed one of the behind-the-scenes bosses who have the real power of this country. After all, only when he regards this country as his own pocket will he pay attention to its security. Overseas, then it should control a department similar to the CIA.
It is worth mentioning that while waiting for the arrangement, Oliver performed well again. The two parties reached an employment agreement before. In addition to the 100 million greenback, it also included a series of items, both extraordinary and ordinary. Kane made a list.
Here, 60% of the items are in place, and this efficiency makes Kane very satisfied. Especially when a big order is about to be received, some of these supplies can indeed make Kane more confident.
Of course, the details still need to be digested before it can be transformed into a strength bonus. As a senior who has been trained by the Wanxiangmen system, he has a very high level of engineering alchemy, and he can really upgrade the line of fire. Efficiency has never been a problem .
The helicopter reached the new destination. This time, there was an additional comrade-in-arms named Moody. He looked quite eye-catching. He was a black man with a strong figure. His face was full of nose rings, lip rings, eyebrow rings, earrings, and oil paint. It doesn't soften the perception much, it still has the kind of barbaric features that can't be conveyed to people, and it is easy to think that the emotional intelligence is zero.
However, when he speaks, he seems to be a different person, with joyful eyes, dancing, hip-hop style, often with some meaningless interjections, onomatopoeia, and very chatty with acquaintances, coincidentally, Oliver is this acquaintance, so this journey, even if Dai Wearing headphones can reduce the roar of the helicopter, but also have to endure the noise of this person.
Fortunately, the trip this time was not too long. In less than an hour, they flew more than 300 kilometers and landed on a scientific research ship driving in the sea.
Kane heard Moody complain to Oliver: "Where the hell are you going? No military plane?"
Yes, somewhere, there is not even a sub-standard gravel road, otherwise military aircraft would be more suitable.
Confidentiality, even after boarding the ship, the mission-related information is still not disclosed, as if people have a way to swim more than 300 kilometers back to land after learning the news.
Kane is very open to it. If you want to cheat, you will cheat a group of people, not him alone. Even if you are cheated, you will die, and he is confident that you will be the last one to die.
There is a special person on the ship to receive them, and the cabins arranged are not bad. They are independent units, and the toilets are all exclusive to them. There is no need to squeeze into the public bathroom, and there is no need to take a mixed steam bath.
Nothing happened for one night, but Kane knew that there were 3 helicopter landings, and he didn't leave after the last landing. That should be the last wave of people who arrived.
That night, Kane only slept for two hours, and he only did one thing specifically, which was to prepare for the advanced salary king. This job is metaphorically like building a bonfire.
Anyone who has built a bonfire, or a fire during the New Year’s Eve knows that there are some tricks here. And the general shape.
In fact, the salary king is similar. It is said that the soul is used as fuel, but it actually refers to the core flame. It only burns this, and it does not burn much power. To be precise, the salary king model is more like the use of spiritual power. The essence of the method is to leverage the external force with one's own power to achieve the goal, but the burning state is a very intense way, and correspondingly, it can leverage more external force and raise the overall energy level to a very high level. The height is extremely explosive.
Due to the timeliness of the prepared potion, the preparation process this time needs to be done in one go and takes a relatively long time, so Kane gave priority to completing it.
The rest of the resources can be digested, and the time after dinner can also be done one by one.
There is no delivery service for breakfast, you have to eat in the restaurant. But it is separated from the crew, and the food is quite rich, but the taste is average, the environment is good, it feels like aboard a luxury cruise ship, and the meal does not delay the view of the sea.
According to Kane's calculations, the ship has passed 50 degrees north latitude at this time. Compared with the earth, if it is in the Atlantic Ocean, it is on the English Channel line, and if it is in the Pacific Ocean, it is on the Sea of Okhotsk line.
Kane also heard related comments from others: "Could it be that you are going to the North Pole? What are the big secrets around the Arctic Ocean?"
Kane secretly scorned, as soon as he heard this, he knew that he lacked a basic understanding of geography.
The geographical structure of this world is roughly similar to that of the original world, and the federation he is in is probably the United States.
If it is going to the Arctic Ocean, where does he need to fly from the west coast to the east coast, and then fly north to board the ship? Wouldn't it be better to fly directly to the Northern Islands of Canada?
Kane estimates that the destination of this trip is mostly between the Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay, which is analogous to the earth, that is, near the Davis Strait.
Different from the original world, there are basically no town-sized settlements on the western coast of Greenland in this world. At most, it is a large-scale version of the hunter's lodge-the whaling station. There are people for several months a year, but not now.
This season, no one comes to such a ghost place. The cold is not the problem, but the wind is. The strong wind can make most of the arctic clothes that are blown up in the advertisements in this era substandard, and the price of the cold clothes that really work , will make ordinary people think that the seller forgot to add a decimal point in front of the cent and angle.
Of course, Kane and his comrades are not short of money, but most of them have full of personality and are not very good at accommodating others. Kane noticed that there are several people like him preparing Eskimo-like suits.
In addition, these comrades-in-arms of his are also arrogant and arrogant. There is no lively conversation in the restaurant, but each eats his own food. The most popular one is Oliver, but he just nods and greets several people, but in the end he sits down. Opposite him is the best proof.
"From all over the world?"
"Well. The most familiar thing is just knowing that there is such a person."
"It seems that people in this circle are not as close as I thought."
"I live too far away, and I usually stick to my own territory."
Kane nodded when he heard the words. Without teleportation magic, distance would really become an obstacle to strengthening feelings.
"So what is this time? Score points?"
"Perhaps, it is the legendary Shino Island after all." Oliver said and asked again: "Do you know Shino Island?"
"I know, the well-known secret place, the location of Myra's Underground Palace." Kevin has dabbled in this area of knowledge a lot, and when he arrived in Kane, he made up for it, especially from Jamie, who learned a lot of secrets. Although Jamie's knowledge was mixed with the transcendent in the poor assembly circle, he lived long enough after all.
The name of Shino Island is far less well-known than Alcatraz Island. It is said that that place is a natural bad place, so it was chosen by God to be used as a gate for holding evil things.
The people living on that island are said to be the descendants of the builders and guards of the Meladi Palace, known as the gatekeepers.
Now that this place is involved, Kane naturally understands that it is the Benevolence faction that is fighting against the Redemption faction.
The teachings of the Benevolence faction determine the thugs they cultivate to "fight for love". The real tearing ability may not be as strong as the thugs of the Redemption faction. As a result, it is the Redemption faction that is crazy before being defeated, mostly because of the Benevolence faction. Pulled Qiang Ai to be a helper.
To be honest, Kane looked down on this kind of brothers fighting against the wall and looking for outsiders. After all, at the level of organizational power, just like between countries, there is basically no such thing as a good relationship. It must be Xu Zhiyi who can be moved, and often it is a huge profit. As far as Catholicism is concerned, it is a typical prodigal.
In this case, looking back at the personnel structure of this operation, you will get a subtle taste. These people are not so much helping the benevolence faction to get rid of Alcatraz, it is better to save, monitor, and obtain their own profits, and it is possible that whoever gets it will be counted. The benevolence faction has no good intentions, there may be a dark pit waiting in front of it, or it may be a scene where a rescue team calls for help and needs to be rescued by others.
"Damn, this situation seems a bit dangerous, but there should be a lot of dry goods..." Kane was a little eager to try this kind of business that was almost equivalent to digging up the graves of the ancestors of old supernatural forces.
