Demon Hunt [Apocalypse]

The first-level general stood in front of Gu Yu, looked him up and down, and asked, "You are Gu Yu?"

"Yes!"

If it was normal, Gu Yu would definitely be extremely excited when he saw this important person.

This person who has already performed extraordinary before the station, rose rapidly during the war, and jumped several levels, is Gu Yu's idol.

But now, Gu Yu's heart was completely occupied by Lu Wu's appearance when he left, and he just responded mechanically to the big man's question.

The big man didn't say much to Gu Yu either. He glanced at the destroyed bases around him, and faced Commander Hu who wanted to speak, he only said, "Let's deal with this first."

The big shots left one after another, but Gu Yu stood for a long time beside the alloy glass cage that once imprisoned Lu Wu.

There were some blood stains on the shards of glass.

When Lu Wu said the phrase "I will come back", it was Gu Yu who looked directly at him.

He knew very well what that monster meant.

"Gu Yu, Commander Hu asked you to go to his office!" A colleague came over and took Gu Yu away from the research institute and returned to the military area.

The torrential rain still didn't stop, and the car stopped all the way to the underground garage of the office building. Gu Yu stood in the elevator, and he guessed in his heart what it was that was looking for him.

Lu Wu was escorted by himself, and was imprisoned by the Gu family for thousands of years. Now that the monster has escaped, the higher-ups must ask him what he means, and maybe they will ask himself how to deal with this monster.

With a clang, the elevator door opened. Gu Yu saw that the door of Commander Hu's office was ajar. He stood outside the door and hesitated for a long time, and finally pushed the door to enter.

As Gu Yu expected, apart from Commander Hu, there were several other high-ranking generals in the military region, as well as that big shot in the room.

The big man turned around, looked at Gu Yu, and stretched out his hand: "Let me introduce myself, I'm Gu Zhongxiang."

After Gu Yu saluted, she mechanically reached out to shake hands with Gu Zhongxiang.

"Perhaps you don't know yet, a month ago, I was ordered to serve as the Minister of National Defense of my country. I was originally in Yanjing, but these days I came to Xiancheng for some reasons. I ordered the demon hunting plan, and I asked you to escort The order of the R-rank monster is also my decision." Gu Zhongxiang said calmly.

Gu Yu nodded. He looked at this first-rank general who looked like he was only forty years old, but his hair was mostly gray. He didn't understand why the other party said this to him as soon as he came up.

"So, the question I'm going to ask you next, I hope you can answer it without any concealment." Gu Zhongxiang said straight to the point, "Because this is related to our future combat direction."

After saying this, Gu Zhongxiang looked at several senior generals present: "Do you have any objections to this point?"

Several generals nodded together.

Gu Zhongxiang picked up the stack of documents on the table, flipped through them, and asked, "When you went to pick up this R-rank monster, did he try to kill you more than once?"

Gu Yu nodded.

"He once killed nearly tens of thousands of soldiers on the entire train on the way, leaving no one alive? Even those who have given up resistance?"

Gu Yu nodded.

"You once walked through the forest alone with an R-rank monster. Did he try to hurt you?"

"no!"

"Has he ever abandoned you and left by himself?"

Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, and his voice became a little unassuming: "I have, but that's because..."

Gu Zhongxiang interrupted Gu Yu and asked, "It stands to reason that he shouldn't dare to attack you, but today, why can he attack you as a target? And...you don't have any ability to resist?"

Gu Yu lowered his head, and after a while he looked up at Gu Zhongxiang, and suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

Gu Zhongxiang looked at Gu Yu, extremely calm: "My surname is Gu. I know everything you know better than you. There is no need to hide it. Why?!"

Gu Yu completely disarmed and surrendered: "Because I lifted his blood curse, he is no longer afraid of me."

There was a booing sound all around.

Gu Zhongxiang also sighed: "Since this is the case, there is no need to restore it. This R-rank monster has a burst temperament, bloodthirsty, and has a vendetta against us, and we can no longer control him." Gu Zhongxiang Zhong Xiang paused, looked at Commander Hu, "What do you think?"

Commander Hu waved his hand in the air, saying decisively, "Lock on the target and launch a nuclear attack."

"The IQ of an R-rank monster is very high. It won't stay there obediently and let us attack it." A general objected.

However, Commander Hu's eyes fell on Gu Yu: "He will come back, we just need to lay a net, this time we are prepared, it can't escape. If such a terrible person is not an ally, then he can only be an enemy, let alone , how could we be allies with Warcraft?"

The rest of the time was for the combat staff to plan how to kill Lu Wu and various details. It was impossible for Gu Yu to hear such details. He was sent out of the office and told that he could go back.

But Gu Yu didn't go back, he waited outside the office until dawn the next day, when the high-level meeting ended, he found an opportunity to stop Gu Zhongxiang who was about to leave.

Gu Yu knew too little about Lu Wu.He knew that Gu Zhongxiang definitely knew more than himself, even though these were secrets he shouldn't pry into, he had to figure it out.

"Sit down!" When Gu Zhongxiang faced Gu Yu alone, he didn't put on airs and seemed more approachable.

Gu Yu didn't know where to start, so he suddenly remembered the general's level of proficiency in operating the mech, obviously he had practiced countless times before.

"Yes, our country has put this project into research very early." Gu Zhongxiang said without hesitation, "20 years ago, it already had a prototype. When I was your age, I participated in this project , received professional training, and my grades were the best in the country at that time. Most of these mechas were also manufactured before the arrival of the monsters, but after the arrival of the monsters, they were modified."

Gu Yu was surprised that this great man was so honest, he suddenly thought of his ancestor Gu Yixian, he looked at Gu Zhongxiang again, and finally he saw his own appearance in the mirror.

His eyes are exactly the same as Gu Zhongxiang's.

But he was just an ordinary soldier, while Gu Zhongxiang came from a wealthy family, the two could not be relatives.

He asked again: "Are the higher-ups planning to deal with Lu Wu?"

Gu Zhongxiang froze for a moment, then nodded: "You mean that R-rank monster? That's right, before that, we had disagreements. Some people thought we could use it to become our ally; He got it for scientific research. Now, the differences have been resolved, and it is agreed to use all possible forces to destroy him."

Gu Yu thought of what the dead Wang Zhijun had said before, that the bigwigs in Yanjing had a disagreement, and some of them left Yanjing and came to Xiancheng.

There is no doubt that Commander Hu is the part that "thinks that Lu Wu should be brought in for scientific research".

So, what about Gu Zhongxiang in front of him?

"I don't know how much the leaders know about Lu Wu, but as far as I know him, it's not what you imagine." After thinking for a long time, Gu Yu finally said, "He really hates humans. , but he kept his promise. He wanted to kill me at first, but after the misunderstanding was resolved, he didn't mean it at all. Even—even after I lifted his blood curse, he tried his best to save me Me. He's not our enemy, and if we didn't push him and do that to him, he wouldn't..."

"He won't?" Gu Zhongxiang looked at Gu Yu, "Young man, if you are familiar with Lu Wu, I believe that our ancestor Gu Yixian, who stayed with him for three years, is more familiar with him than you and I It’s a lot to get acquainted with.”

When Gu Yu heard this sentence suddenly, his whole body was shocked, and he looked at the first-rank general in front of him in disbelief.

What did he mean by that sentence?Our ancestors?

In an instant, he suddenly understood many things.

Why did the higher-ups know about Lu Wu's existence, why did they ask him to escort Lu Wu, why did they have this demon hunting plan...

Gu Zhongxiang picked up a glass of water on the table, took a sip, and said: "It happened 100 years ago. At that time, we had not yet established a country, and the military's first activity site was in the ancestral home of the Gu family. The leader's son at that time Comrade Ren once met a very stubborn old landlord who would rather die than divide his land..."

Gu Zhongxiang came slowly, but Gu Yu was thrilled to hear it.

On that day 100 years ago, when the ambitious Dong Ziren was dealing with the issue of his own jurisdiction, he encountered a difficult problem.

There was a family surnamed Gu who was unwilling to cooperate with the work. Not only that, the patriarch surnamed Gu stopped the soldiers who wanted to break into the courtyard, and kept saying that he wanted to see Dong Ziren.

Dong Ziren was unwilling to have an irreversible conflict with the Gu family, who had a high reputation in the local area, so he went there in person.

In the old house of the Gu family, Patriarch Gu took Dong Ziren with him, and after paying homage to the ancestors, he opened the secret passage.

After passing through the secret passage and coming to the cell, Dong Ziren, who saw the huge monster, was shocked a hundred times more than Gu Yu was at the beginning.

This has almost surpassed the cognition of Dong Ziren, who does not believe in ghosts and gods. The tall and strong man, with the support of the head of the Gu family who is over a hundred years old, stumbled out of the secret passage, and finally calmed down slowly.

"From that day on, the Gu family, who originally had two sons in the army, suddenly returned one son. The elder brother followed Dong Ziren to fight in the north and south, and eventually made meritorious service and became the founding hero. The younger brother stayed in his hometown and guarded the Gu family for thousands of years. My grandfather is that elder brother; and your great-grandfather is that younger brother. According to seniority, you should call me uncle."

Gu Zhongxiang said calmly, looking straight at Gu Yu, "Now you should understand why your father strongly opposed your joining the army. Why did he, an honest farmer, have anything to do with state secrets?"

Gu Yu nodded stiffly. All of this sounds unbelievable, but... it has to be convincing.

Gu Zhongxiang continued: "About the matter of the Gu family's old house, Dong Ziren has never told anyone about it. In those years of ups and downs, almost all the old houses and ancient buildings were destroyed, but the Gu family's old house has always been majestic. The reason for moving is because Dong Ziren once gave instructions—the old house of the Gu family should not be harassed."

"No one knew about it, not even that elder brother. He didn't tell my grandfather the secret until before Ziren died. There are two copies of this secret, one about the existence of Lu Wu, And how to deal with his instructions, this secret document is called "The Demon Hunting Project", also known as Ziren's suicide note. The other one is the notes of the ancestor Gu Yixian that Ziren took away from the old house of the Gu family. Everything is recorded in detail, and it is stored in the Sea of ​​Death in the northwest desert, and is guarded by a secret team."

Many years have passed, and only the highest levels of the country have read Ziren's suicide note. However, some people regard it as a joke, some don't take it seriously, and some are actively preparing for it.

But no one knows when Lu Wu will be used, and no one has seriously thought about how to use it.

Visitors from space, invasion of alien monsters, and the end of the world, this kind of science fiction plot is totally inconsistent with the current international environment.

As a result, even Ziren's suicide note in the secret archives was sealed up and gradually forgotten, let alone Gu Yixian's notes stored in the Northwest Sea of ​​Death.

It wasn't until three months ago, when the monsters from beyond the sky suddenly descended, and everyone panicked and resisted in a hurry, that no one remembered that Ren's suicide note.

Gu Zhongxiang, who was born in a noble family, had always believed in this matter, and was prepared for it, rose rapidly in this monster storm and became the core figure of the military operation.
