Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The members of the exploration team were holding life detectors and were only about two meters away from the demon species. After finding that the instrument did not show any information, they turned around and reported the situation: "Captain Chen, no signs of life were detected. This thing should be dead."

"I haven't detected any other life forms here." The guard member on the other side reported with a serious expression.

This sentence immediately made everyone look reluctant. If no other life forms were detected, it meant that there were no survivors here.

"The logistics support team started processing the bodies and brought back as much of the wreckage as possible. No matter what, we must give an explanation to the families of the victims. The bodies of the members of the seventh team must also be carried back. We can't let them stay in the underground city like this. The government should add them as honored heroes later."

"Glorious Glory" is a title for guards or Self-Defense Forces who died in a mission, and is also a symbol of honor.

Because most of the bodies at the scene were severed limbs, even if they wanted to be identified they would need to be taken back for genetic testing. However, everyone present discovered a problem: among the severed limbs scattered everywhere, the only thing missing was the head.

Chen Ruhai clenched his hands into fists. Although the scene before him was shocking, it was not enough to shock him for too long. After all, everyone who could climb to the position of captain of the guard team had fought with mutant beasts. If there was anything that really frightened him here, it was that a psychic of Wang Shu's level could not escape from the hands of the demon species. That only meant that the power of the demon species was stronger than rumored, and could even easily crush any psychic above level B.

The rescue team going to the underground city this time includes 12 medical staff from the health center. Half of these medical staff are C-level psychics. At least they have to be able to protect themselves after going to the underground city. There is also a B-level healing psychic. This psychic is the deputy director of the Second Health Center and is currently one of the three healing psychics in Jiangcheng.

Healers are extremely rare. The higher the level, the stronger the healing ability. D-level healers can heal simple abrasions and minor ailments such as dizziness. C-level healers can heal sprains and abrasions. B-level healers can speed up the healing of large-area wounds. A-level healers can turn critically injured patients around and even reassemble broken bones. Some people speculate whether S-level healers can bring dead people back to life, but this statement has not been verified yet. It is known that no information about S-level healers has been released on Blue Star. The only A-level healer in China is placed in the first base in Kyoto.

This healing psychic was only announced to the public some time ago, and it caused quite a stir at the time, because you know that there are only a handful of high-level healing psychics, and healing psychics above level C can choose to work in any medium-sized trade union, and those above level B can even enter health centers and relevant government departments, and the welfare benefits are excellent.

The people from the health center began to pick up the severed limbs skillfully together with the logistics personnel. On the other side, the guard team planned to take the body of the demon species that fell on the rock back to the base laboratory. This would play a significant role in promoting the future research on the topic of demon species.

The drone was currently hovering at an altitude of about 20 meters above the location of the demon's corpse. Seeing the demon's corpse on their cell phones, all members of the interview team couldn't help but gasp. They had never imagined that the rumored demon would look like this.

"It's so scary. I didn't expect there would be such a creature in the world." The recorder bit her lip, obviously looking scared, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity and continued to read on.

At this time, the interview team was about ten meters away from the site of the amputation. As no one else was allowed to enter the scene, allowing them to record the footage was already the greatest compromise. This was a record that was not open to the public for the time being, so the time allowed for their interview would depend on the situation at the scene.

A medical worker in protective clothing and another Self-Defense Force member were about to deal with the body of the demon. When they got closer, they were amazed at how tall the demon was. Even when its body was curled up, it was still much taller than an average adult male.

Judging from the on-site visual observation, its height was at least about 1.9 to 2 meters, and its arms were extremely long. Its wings had a greasy sheen, and there were even barbs on the edges of its wings.

"This is the first time I've seen such a creature. I guess those crazy people in the laboratory will be so happy right now." The health center and the research institute belong to the same institution. Normally, the corpses used by the research institute are taken away from the health center, and most of the health center's new medicines are also put into use as soon as possible after research at the research institute. Therefore, the medical staff sent out by the health center this time are also responsible for checking whether there are any suitable mutant animal corpses.

The Self-Defense Force member next to him sighed quietly: "Is this thing really a demon?"

"I don't know about that, but it looks quite suitable for research. Captain Chen just said that this thing is very important, so let's move it first. By the way, be careful not to touch the metal bars when moving them. They should be left by the previous metal-type mutants, and there should still be residual supernatural energy on them."

"Understood." The Self-Defense Force member nodded. Just as he turned around to pull the stretcher closer, he heard a faint gasp.

However, due to the noisy conversations nearby and the sound of various vehicle engines that completely covered up the panting sound, no one noticed the slightly flaring nostrils of the demon on the rock.

The Self-Defense Force member just turned around and suddenly found that the hospital staff next to him suddenly groaned in pain. The next moment, the member's pupils contracted violently. The white protective suit opposite was already stained with blood, and an object with a barb had pierced the medical staff's heart.

"Plop" the medical staff fell down before he could even call for help, and a monster with spread wings appeared in front of him, and the black shadow of its body fell down and completely covered him.

A sharp and shrill cry echoed throughout the entire narrow corridor. The demon's turbid yellow-brown eyes moved, and its wings flapped slightly in an attempt to fly again.

"It's a demon species, it's still alive, it's not dead!" Shocked shouts erupted from the crowd, followed by various cries for help and chaotic footsteps.

The heavy firepower team had already pointed rocket launchers and heavy machine guns at the monster.

Liao Yunyun was about thirty meters away from the monster at this time. She saw a huge noise coming from the front through the crowd, and then she saw that the heavy weapons team and a dozen guard members had formed an encirclement.

The phone connected to the drone showed a huge black figure standing in front of the rock. Liao Yunyun immediately shouted to the drone driver, "Raise the drone higher. If it's too close, it will attract attention!"

After the drone guy reacted, he immediately raised the drone about twenty meters higher, and placed it a little further away from the monster. At the same time, he zoomed the camera in, so that the creepy and strange creature was clearly shown on the screen through the powerful spotlight.

The demon was panting, its wings still flapping slightly. At this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that it actually had an extremely long tail with sharp barbs on it. It had used its tail to harm the innocent medical staff just now.

"Try to capture him alive!" Chen Ruhai immediately ordered everyone after discovering that the demon was still alive.

At this time, two Self-Defense Force members in gray uniforms stepped forward in the crowd, holding anesthetic guns in their hands, and fired several shots at the monster. The monster had no time to react because there were too many gun muzzles to pay attention to, and it was not clear which direction it needed to be alert to at this time. Therefore, seven or eight high-dose anesthetics were shot on the thigh, shoulder and chest.

"How long does it take for the anesthetic to take effect?" Chen Ruhai asked the deputy captain of the third team on the side in a low voice.

The deputy captain whispered, "This is a high-dose anesthetic given by the research institute. One dose is enough to knock down a mutated adult Asian elephant. We have shot out seven or eight doses so far. Even the most powerful monster will fall down within two minutes."

As expected, the devil began to go crazy because of the anesthetic. In addition, he was seriously injured and could no longer use his wings. So his eyes fell on the Self-Defense Force member closest to him, who was also the one at the beginning.

After making a sharp threat to the player, the barbed tail made an attacking gesture.

The Self-Defense Force member sat on the ground and kept crawling backwards. At this moment, his fingertips touched a cold object and he realized that his rifle was next to him. So he picked up the gun without hesitation, loaded it skillfully, and pulled the trigger at the moment when the demon was about to pounce.

"Wait, don't shoot!"

Chen Ruhai breathed heavily and suddenly began to activate his special abilities. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

The crisp sound of "bang bang bang" shook the entire stone entrance. The demon species, whose head had become dizzy due to the anesthetic, wanted to attack in a rage but was knocked back several steps by the bullets. Its wings spread to the limit in an instant, and its turbid yellow eyes glared fiercely at the Self-Defense Force members holding rifles, and sticky liquid began to flow from its mouth.

As soon as Chen Ruhai rushed forward, he found that the demon had fallen straight back, and the resentful look in his eyes disappeared from this world forever as he closed his eyelids.

Damn it! This precious experimental subject, if caught alive, would be a bargaining chip for negotiation with the top brass of the base, and the meaning of a living demon species is completely different from a dead one.

"You, who told you to shoot!" Chen Ruhai's eyes seemed to be about to pop out of their frames as he stared at the team member who shot the gun.

The team member had already been frightened by what had just happened, with his mind filled with images of demons and medical staff dying in front of him. At this moment, he could only open his mouth to breathe, but he could not utter a single word, and the expression on his face became distorted with fear.

The deputy next to him rushed forward with several team members, and only then confirmed that the demon species really had no heartbeat.

"The suspended animation just now might have been caused by the temporary cardiac arrest. The bullet just now directly penetrated the crystal core." From the gunshot site where sticky blood was still flowing, a pale yellow and nearly transparent crystal core could be seen in the right chest cavity. However, this crystal core should be unusable. As the most precious source of energy, the most basic requirement for a crystal core is its integrity. Once it is broken, it cannot be used as an energy source.

Chen Ruhai was filled with rage. When he thought about how his bargaining chips were lost by this idiot, he wanted to strangle the other person to death.

But right now there are many eyes and ears here, there is even an interview team nearby, and a drone overhead...

If the interview team had not been pressured by a high-ranking official to accompany him, he would not have wanted the media to report on this operation. After all, the fewer people who knew about the underground city, the easier it would be to resolve the incident with simple means.

At this time, Liao Yunyun signaled the photographer to point the handheld camera towards Chen Ruhai, because there was no guarantee that the drone could cover the entire lake surface.

Chen Ruhai couldn't get angry in front of him. The muscles on his face were still trembling with anger, but he forced himself to speak calmly: "Everyone, hurry up and clean up here. The exploration team will continue to go forward 500 meters. If you can't find the target within 500 meters, withdraw."

Originally according to Chen Ruhai's plan, if there were any survivors in Wang Shu's group, they could be rescued, but the most important goal was to capture the demon species. But now that the demon species is dead, this place is less than three kilometers away from the most dangerous black area. If he continues to go deeper, he might encounter other mutant beasts or trigger a beast tide. With his current team strength, he can repel them, but he will definitely suffer serious losses.

Since there were no survivors, Chen Ruhai immediately decided to retreat in half an hour.

The vanguard exploration team consisting of six guard members mounted their motorcycles and continued to move forward.

Chen Ruhai only gave them twenty minutes. If there was no movement after twenty minutes, the rear team would evacuate urgently.

Originally, the drone wanted to continue to follow the exploration team deeper, but at this time a member of the guard team walked near the interview team and reminded them: "If the drone continues to go deeper, it will affect the exploration team. I hope you understand our work."

The recorder girl originally wanted to refute a few words. After all, from the moment they entered the underground city, Chen Ruhai had ordered everyone not to mention anything about this mission. The interview team could only record as they went, which had already caused certain difficulties for the interview work. Now drones were not allowed to continue recording, which was completely inconsistent with what had been agreed before entering the underground city.

However, fearing a conflict, Liao Yunyun quickly grabbed the recorder's arm and said, "Got it, let's withdraw the drone."

After everyone left, Liao Yunyun said, "We can't clash with them yet, and they must be hiding something. Although it's impossible for a drone to get in, I remember we still have a mini aircraft."

The mini aircraft is usually used by the drone guy for aerial photography. Its maximum flight altitude can only be maintained at 30 meters, but it is only half the size of a palm, which makes it very suitable for some secret filming.
