Chapter 676: Battle of the Giant Owl

Commissioner Smith was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He stood up slowly and swept his eyes over the long-abandoned underground darkroom for the last time, trying to imprint every detail deeply in his mind. Those worn-out cans, plastic bags, and the iron box full of dust over the years, as well as the photos and letters accidentally found in the box, were like unsolved mysteries, entangled in his heart and lingering.

He took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the exit of the darkroom. As his footsteps gradually moved away, the musty and stale smell gradually faded, replaced by the fresher air from the outside world, but this freshness did not relieve the heaviness in his heart.

Just as he was about to walk out of the darkroom and step into the unknown, a piercing whistle suddenly came from the sky, breaking the tranquility around him. Smith looked up suddenly and saw a huge radioactive owl swooping towards him at an incredible speed. The owl's eyes flashed with a strange green light, its wings spread out like dark clouds covering the sun, and its body exuded a heart-pounding radioactive energy.

Smith's face suddenly became solemn. He realized that this radiation owl was not an ordinary creature. It was probably a mutant creature unique to this abandoned land. Without any hesitation, he quickly took out the portable power armor from his backpack. This is a set of equipment designed for extreme environments and high-risk tasks, which can greatly enhance the wearer's combat effectiveness and survivability.

With the sound of "clicking", the various parts of the power armor were quickly assembled on Smith, wrapping him in a solid metal shell. He felt an unprecedented sense of power and security, as if even breathing became more powerful.

The whistle of the radiation owl became sharper and sharper, and it was approaching Smith's head. Smith quickly activated the propulsion system of the power armor, and his body suddenly soared into the air, pulling away from the huge creature. The high-energy laser gun in his hand was also activated, and a dazzling blue beam of light cut through the night sky and went straight to the radiation owl.

However, the radiation owl was extremely agile. It easily dodged Smith's attack, drew a graceful arc in the air, and launched a fierce attack on Smith again. Its claws flashed with cold light, as if it could tear apart all obstacles in front of it.

Seeing this, Smith quickly adjusted his posture and used the flexibility and powerful maneuverability of the power armor to engage in a fierce aerial fight with the radiation owl. Sometimes he jumped up to avoid attacks, and sometimes he dived to counterattack. The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was inextricable.

But as time went on, Smith gradually felt the pressure. Every attack of the radiation owl contained huge energy, and even with the protection of the power armor, he felt bursts of pain. Although he was able to temporarily suppress the creature, he could not give it a fatal blow.

What's worse, he realized that this battle might have just begun. In this abandoned land, it is unknown how many such mutant creatures are hidden, and can he survive alone in this dangerous environment?

Thinking of this, Smith couldn't help but feel an unprecedented despair and helplessness in his heart. But he knew that now was not the time to give up. He had to cheer up and use his wisdom and courage to fight this radiation owl to the death. Only in this way can he continue to move forward, uncover the secrets of this underground world, and complete his mission.

So Smith concentrated again and devoted himself to this life-and-death struggle. He used every advantage of the power armor to fight a more intense battle with the radiation owl. And the creature seemed to feel Smith's tenacity and determination, and it began to make a more piercing whistle, as if issuing a final challenge to Smith.

In this thrilling battle, the figures of Smith and the radiation owl kept shuttling and interweaving in the night sky, forming a shocking picture. And what will be the final result? Will Smith be able to defeat this powerful creature and move forward? Or will he fall in this abandoned land and become one of the countless unsolved mysteries? Everything will be revealed in the next moment...

When the fierce aerial battle reached its climax, Commissioner Smith, with his indomitable will and indomitable spirit, finally found the flaw of the radiation owl. He keenly captured the creature's slight pause after continuous attacks, which was a moment when its physical strength and attention were briefly distracted.

Smith quickly adjusted his posture, the thrusters of the power armor roared, and his body shot out like an arrow from a string, directly hitting the vital point of the radiation owl. At the same time, the high-energy laser gun in his hand was charged again, but this time he did not fire immediately, but kept it as a backup, just in case.

Just when the two sides were about to collide, Smith suddenly changed direction, bypassed the sharp claws of the radiation owl at an incredible angle, and at the same time, with the help of the flexibility of the power armor, landed steadily on its back. This sudden change caught the radiation owl off guard. It let out an angry whistle and flapped its wings wildly, trying to throw off the uninvited guest on its back.

However, Smith was already prepared. He held the feathers of the radiation owl tightly, clamped his legs tightly around its back, and stood still despite the howling wind. He knew that at this moment, any slackness could lead to failure.

While the radiation owl lost its mind due to anger, Smith quickly pulled out the sharp chainsaw sword from his waist. This sword was specially prepared by him to deal with extreme situations. Its saw teeth were extremely sharp and could easily cut through the hardest metal. At this moment, it would be the key to ending this battle.

Smith took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength on the chainsaw sword, and then swung it out suddenly. The sword light was like lightning, cutting through the night sky, and instantly left a deep wound on the back of the radiation owl. Blood and green radioactive liquid gushed out, dyeing the surrounding air red.

The radiation owl let out a heart-wrenching scream, its wings were no longer so powerful, and its body began to sway in the air. Smith seized the opportunity and swung the chainsaw sword again. This time he was more ruthless, and each sword fell accurately on the vital points of the radiation owl.

Finally, after a difficult battle, Commissioner Smith successfully subdued the giant radiation owl with his extraordinary courage and wisdom. He stood on the lifeless monster, gasping for breath, and his clothes were soaked with sweat and blood.

He looked around and confirmed that there were no other threats around, then he slowly relaxed his tense nerves. Although the battle was difficult, he won after all. He felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, as if he had become the master of this abandoned land.

However, this satisfaction did not last long. Smith soon realized that this radioactive owl was just one of the many challenges he was about to face. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, there are more mutant creatures, traps and puzzles waiting for him to solve.

He put away his chainsaw sword, reorganized his equipment and mood, and then carefully jumped off the body of the radioactive owl. He knew that he could not stay here for too long, and he had to find a way out as soon as possible and move on.

He turned on the flashlight again to illuminate the road ahead. This time, his steps were more firm and powerful, and his eyes were full of determination and fearlessness. He knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles were waiting for him ahead, he had to move forward bravely, because this was his mission and responsibility as a commissioner.

As Smith explored further, he gradually discovered more secrets of this underground world. This used to be a huge scientific research base, which was abandoned because of a sudden disaster. Those worn-out cans, plastic bags, and photos and letters in iron boxes were all relics left by the researchers at that time. And those mutant creatures were the terrible consequences left after the disaster.

Smith recorded all the information he found while moving forward. He hoped to bring these valuable materials back to the ground so that the world could understand this forgotten history. However, he also knew that this road was destined to be bumpy. He needed to face more challenges and dangers, and might even have to pay the price of his life.

But he did not regret his choice. Because he knew that as a commissioner, his duty was to uncover the truth and protect justice. No matter how many unknowns and dangers were waiting for him ahead, he would continue to move forward without hesitation until he completed his mission.

Commissioner Smith kicked the lifeless corpse of the giant radiation owl hard, and the huge body rolled aside like a boulder, making a dull sound that echoed in the empty underground space. He cursed, his voice mixed with fatigue, anger and dissatisfaction with the unknown world. These emotions intertwined into a complex emotional torrent in his heart, but he had no time to savor them carefully, because the unknown ahead was still waiting for him to explore.

He bent down to pick up the flashlight, and the light swayed in the dimness, guiding him in the direction. Smith's eyes revealed an unquestionable determination. He knew that he could not stay here for too long and had to go to the newly discovered secret room as soon as possible to see what secrets were hidden inside.

He took a step and walked towards the direction where he had vaguely discovered the secret room before. As his footsteps went deeper, the surrounding environment seemed to become more gloomy and terrifying. The walls were covered with moss and vines, and the air was filled with an indescribable smell of dampness and corruption. But Smith did not back down. Every step he took seemed extremely firm, as if he was announcing his existence to this abandoned world.

Finally, he came to the entrance of the secret room. It was an iron door that was almost unrecognizable due to the erosion of time. It was covered with rust and scratches, as if it was the mark left by countless hands in despair. Smith took a deep breath, reached out, and pushed the heavy iron door open with force.

The iron door made a harsh creaking sound and slowly opened to both sides, revealing a dark passage leading to an unknown area. Smith held the flashlight tightly and stepped into the secret room carefully. As he went deeper, the light of the flashlight gradually illuminated everything around him.

This secret room was obviously larger and more complex than the previous underground dark room. The walls were inlaid with various strange instruments and equipment, many of which were severely damaged, but their former glory and precision could still be vaguely seen. In the center was a huge metal table, on which some seemingly important documents and materials were scattered. At the other end of the secret room, there stands a tightly closed stone door engraved with complex patterns and symbols, as if hiding the secret leading to another world.

Smith looked around, his heart full of curiosity and vigilance. He knew that he had come to a key place, where the most important secrets of the entire underground world might be hidden. He slowly walked to the metal table and began to carefully look through the documents and materials.

Most of these documents were yellowed and damaged, and the handwriting was blurred, but Smith still relied on his keen observation and rich experience to barely recognize some of the contents. He was surprised to find that these documents actually recorded a highly confidential scientific research project-experimental research on radiation and biological mutation. And the ultimate goal of these experiments was to try to create super creatures that could resist nuclear disasters through artificial means!

Smith felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart. He realized that this experiment was not only extremely dangerous, but also completely violated the bottom line of human ethics. If these experiments really succeeded, what kind of chaos and disaster would the world fall into?

He continued to look through the documents, trying to find more information about the experiment. But at this moment, he suddenly heard a subtle sound coming from the other end of the secret room. The sound seemed to be a low hum made by some creature when it was squirming, which was creepy.

"Damn, what is there behind? This feeling is not good, really not good. What the hell is there behind? I must go and take a look. If it is something valuable, then today's trip is worthwhile."

"The power armor should be able to protect me. There should be nothing particularly dangerous around. Yes, it must be like this. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Smith."

Smith immediately became alert. He quickly put down the documents in his hand, held the flashlight and the weapon he carried with him, and walked carefully in the direction of the sound. As he approached, the chill became stronger, as if something was peeping at him in the dark.

Finally, he came to the closed stone door. He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to push the stone door open. However, when he saw everything hidden behind the door, his face instantly turned as pale as paper...
