Chapter 897 The Truth (210)
The devil dispersed, and also dispersed was the temperature in the wooden house in the dark night, and the remaining hope.
The wooden house was in a mess, with tables, chairs and benches dismantled and thrown into the stove to squeeze out the remaining warmth.
"So the devil is real."
"It's not the devil, it's a person who is controlling all this."
"Who can do such a thing?"
"People like me."
The female hunter stood in front of the big hole opened by Makarov's pistol shot, and asked the mysterious lieutenant colonel next to her, "Can you tell us what your secret mission is now?"
The lieutenant colonel shook his head slowly, and the huntress was not discouraged, "We are now grasshoppers on a rope."
"The less you know, the easier it is to survive." The lieutenant colonel said, "You have the possibility to survive, so ask as few questions as possible that you shouldn't know."
The female hunter was silent for a few seconds, lowered her voice and turned her back to the direction of the fire: "I still have a few questions I want to ask you."
"I won't necessarily answer that."
"You will answer. Those demons are coming for those siblings."
".Yes."
"Are they special?" said the hunter. "About your secret mission and the 'delta' plan you mentioned before?"
The lieutenant colonel didn't answer.
"Without those siblings and those monsters, we will always be in this kind of weird circle?"
"This is a non-negotiable matter." said the lieutenant colonel. "The siblings will follow me all the way to Moscow."
"But we have to find a way to get out of here first. As you can see, we have run out of ammunition and food. If morale has such a thing, it should be negative by now, right?" The huntress turned to look at the stove. Dusha and Adam were sitting, both of them looking almost exhausted.
The arrival and departure of the devil did not affect the poisoning of the two people. The continuous vomiting and diarrhea filled the whole house with a sour smell. After drinking a lot of water to speed up metabolism, the two people did not go into shock at all, and their symptoms did not go away. A little bit better.
"Did you poison me?" the lieutenant colonel looked at the huntress and asked calmly.
At the same time as this question was asked, Vika, who was sitting silently next to Dusha not far away, suddenly raised his head and stared at the huntress. However, neither the lieutenant colonel nor the huntress paid attention to him, because this man The only possible threat - the double-barreled shotgun had been seized by the huntress and carried behind her back.
"no."
The female hunter shook her head, "I still haven't even figured out how the poisoner was poisoned. You said that their poisoning was caused by the venom of the arctic viper, but isn't it true that snake venom can only be poisoned if it is injected into a wound? Even if the high temperature of the stew does not destroy the snake venom protein, there should be no symptoms of poisoning unless you have a gastric ulcer. "
"Have you studied medicine?"
"Anyone who has been a hunter will understand these simple attempts." The female hunter paused and asked, "Before, were you negotiating with things outside?"
"Yes."
"what's the result."
"The negotiations broke down."
"You can see that." The huntress looked at the huge hole beside her, and then took another look at the ordinary Makarov pistol on the lieutenant colonel's waist. "Those things...want those children, right?"
"You also want those children. If my guess is correct, they are the 'delta' plan you call, the miracle about the recovery of the motherland?"
The lieutenant colonel was silent for a long time, then nodded heavily, "Yes."
"I understand." Huntress said, "What should we do next?"
"Wait until daybreak and escape from here."
"How to escape? Now there are two more wounded and three patients. We can't move in the forest."
"Abandon the wounded." The lieutenant colonel glanced at the old hunter on the bed and the two poisoned patients by the fire.
"The current situation is indeed not optimistic." Even the female hunter did not refute this opinion this time.
"Not only that, last night's negotiation was already an ultimatum." The lieutenant colonel said, "I used those two children as a threat, so they didn't break in."
"You mean as long as these two children are with us, we will never be attacked by those demons?"
"Yes." The lieutenant colonel nodded slowly.
"So, they are our hostages in disguise?" The huntress used an appropriate but weird word to describe the current situation.
The lieutenant colonel was speechless for a few seconds before nodding.
"What will happen to those two children if they fall into the hands of those devils?" the huntress asked, "Don't lie to me by eating them alive. Although they look thin and tender, it doesn't mean they are tenderer than fish." tasty."
"I don't know." The lieutenant colonel turned his head and looked at the pair of siblings on the fire bed. "I just know that I need to take them back to Moscow."
"Your eyes were golden before, and that boy's eyes were also golden, including those monsters outside. Can I understand that the motherland is conducting human experiments? It's like the German head of state who was mentioned by the elders during World War II. A human evolution experiment?" The female hunter lowered her eyes slightly, "Those siblings are the fruits of the motherland?"
The Lieutenant Colonel did not answer this question, because it was just a guess, and the Huntress's idea was very close to the truth.
"What will happen to them when you take them back to Moscow?"
"I have no idea."
The female hunter reached out and wiped the frost from her brows. She probably understood in her heart, "I thought you liked children, so you were so good to them."
The lieutenant colonel glanced at the female hunter and didn't say anything. Maybe the female hunter said something stupid.
"What if we can't find a way to leave this forest?" The female hunter asked again, "Will you hand over the children and compromise with your enemies at that time?"
"No." The lieutenant colonel said slowly.
"I will kill them both first, and then commit suicide."
The female hunter was stunned for several seconds, "So extreme?"
"This is the heritage of the motherland. If it cannot be returned to the motherland, it must be buried forever in the frozen soil of the ice field and cannot fall into the hands of the enemy." There was a fire burning in the eyes of the lieutenant colonel.
"What an indestructible will." The female hunter sighed, "But isn't this a bit unfair to the siblings? They never had the chance to decide their own fate."
"The motherland will thank them." The lieutenant colonel said, "They were also born for the motherland."
-
Vika stood up by the fire without saying a word. The female hunter and the lieutenant colonel looked at him. He just went to pick up the overturned kettle on the ground, and then took a kettle of water from the ice bucket to boil by the fire.
Dusha was too weak to speak. Vika could only hear her whispering for her brother, but he could do nothing. Hunger was about to destroy a person's will. Now, with the influence of snake venom, if there was no sufficient food and medicine, then Dusha might not have more than 24 hours left.
Vika waited blankly for the water in the kettle to boil. When he returned to Dusha with the kettle, he suddenly smelled a rotten smell in the light of the fire. He looked down and saw Dusha's right hand wrapped in gauze hanging beside him.
He peeled off the gauze on Dusha's right hand bit by bit, and saw that the arrow wound inside was infected, festering and festered. Just looking at the wound made people want to vomit. He didn't know if it was a complication caused by snake venom. He touched Dusha's forehead and it was as hot as a kettle.
Vika wrapped the gauze back in a daze, as if it would not exist if it was wrapped tightly and could not be seen. He took a deep breath, but no matter how he breathed, he felt as if a piece of his heart was missing.
"Water." Dusha was still murmured, her lips were cracked and bleeding.
Vika hurriedly lowered his head to pour water for his sister. He picked up a water cup from the ground and subconsciously began to distinguish whether the water cup was his or Dusha's. However, the moment this thought came into his mind, he froze.
Water cup?
He reached out and touched his lips. Because of the low temperature, his lips had already cracked and had countless blood marks. He could feel the stinging pain just by touching it.
Snake venom, blood, water cup.
He suddenly seemed to have figured something out, and suddenly raised his head, looking at the kang with bloodshot eyes.
--
"By the way." The female hunter looked out the window and said, "I suddenly have a question, are people like you with golden eyes very resistant to cold?"
The lieutenant colonel looked at the female hunter a few more times. She seemed to be sure that people with glowing eyes were "extraordinary people", but this guess was not wrong. He replied, "The physique will be better than that of ordinary people, but the temperature difference cannot be completely ignored."
"Then you said that the weather outside is so cold, wouldn't the 'people' who drive monsters in your words be freezing?" The female hunter said with her head down, thinking.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, it's been almost three days, right? It's impossible that he has been hiding in the coniferous forest for three days?" The female hunter lowered her head and said slowly, "You said there is a 'person' behind all this trickery, right? If he is really a 'person', then he must eat and drink water to keep warm, right?"
". Is there a possibility that he has been hiding in a warm place and watching us quietly?"
"There are no other houses in this coniferous forest."
"Yes, for example, he may be hiding in this wooden house?" The female hunter suddenly looked up, and a light burst out in her eyes.
But when she looked up, she saw the calm expression of the lieutenant colonel in front of her, and she was stunned for a moment - the other party's expression seemed to answer her, and he seemed to have known about this for a long time.
"Wait, have you been looking since you entered the house?"
The female hunter was stunned and subconsciously pulled the hunting rifle on her back. When she was about to say the second half of the sentence, she suddenly caught a shadow from the ground and rushed straight to the kang not far away!
That was Vika. The man rushed to the kang like a madman and pounced on the siblings.
"It's you! It's you! It's you!" He yelled madly, "It's you who poisoned them! It's you who wanted to kill everyone!"
