Chapter 15: An Unimaginable Counter-Attack
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A mechanical arm around the size of a baby’s palm appeared on Elrond’s shoulder.
That arm turned into a small knife and gently cut open Elrond’s skin.
Cold sweat broke out on Elrond’s forehead. He took a piece of wood and bit it.
The small mechanical arm directly cut open his skin and flesh. Using a small clip, it picked out a bullet shell.
If anyone saw that his mecha operating in such a way, they would definitely be shocked.
The precision of that operation was something that even the most professional doctor could not guarantee.
Not only did the mechanical arm clip out the bullet, but the other mechanical arms also appeared and sprayed medicinal mist on his wound.
This medicinal mist was something that Elrond secretly collected when he was at the experimental base.
After all, he practiced his fighting techniques with Helen Harry every day, so it was inevitable for him to get injured.
Regardless of whether he was an experimental subject or not, recovering his strength and healing his wounds were essential for him to become stronger.
Usually, on the first day after their sparring, his tendons and bones would be broken by Helen. But with this medical mist, he could reconnect his broken bones in just a few hours.
The wounds were all gone.
The gunshot wound was a minor injury because of the protection layer of the mecha.
“Hmph—”
“Zero, you can’t escape. You are like a wild beast in a cage, just a trapped beast.” One shouted from afar.
“Chance.”
His arms, legs, stomach, and all the mechanical arms were swinging wildly simultaneously.
Elrond did not hesitate at all as he laid flat on the ground.
His speed was like a flying arrow. He dashed out from the back of the boulder but he did not run away. Instead, he charged in One’s direction.
“Hmph, you’re courting death—”
One took out his gun. Through the scope, he saw an object fly into the air.
“What is this thing? Based on its trajectory, it should be at least 200 steps away, and it shouldn’t be possible for it to land here.”
“Bang!”
There was a soft sound.
The scope of the sniper rifle suddenly turned white, causing One’s eyes to hurt.
“Oh no—”
“Ah— ah— ah!”
There were three consecutive screams beside One. In that instant, Elrond successfully dashed into the crowd.
He looked like an eight-armed monster with six mechanical arms on his back.
There was a dagger on each arm, and wherever it passed, it struck an enemy.
Heads dropped, and blood dyed the ground red.
There were even some experimental subjects who did not realize what was happening. They clutched their bleeding necks and fell onto the ground.
Their eyes were wide open with an unwilling look on their faces.
One’s reaction was surprisingly quick. He pulled out his long knife.
“Dong—”.
He blocked Elrond’s frontal attack.
But the six arms with daggers behind Elrond struck down at the same time.
“Oh no—”
Time was running out and it seemed to have stood still.
One looked helplessly at Zero, the experimental subject whom everyone at the base assumed was a fool.
The six hands on Elrond’s back, each holding a dagger, aimed at One’s throat, arms, chest, and other vital parts.
There was no need to inflict too much damage on those parts. Just a slight blow and he’d be a goner for sure.
“I— I’m not his match—”
This was the only thought that flashed through One’s mind.
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang, and Elrond was sent flying.
But he did not dare to linger around. He got up and fled into the darkness.
One looked at the gunship in a daze.
He saw Helen Harry retracting her sniper rifle.
He immediately realized that Helen had saved him. Otherwise, he would be a dead body by now.
A huge sense of humiliation filled his heart, causing One to go crazy from frustration.
Elrond bit hard on the wooden stick. He was afraid that the sound of his breathing would expose his whereabouts.
The sound of the gunships above his head was like three bombs.
The searchlights were like ghost fires, lingering and shrouding above his head.
After running for a short distance, he suddenly heard the sound of running water ahead.
“Hmm— is this Crocodile Lake?”
In the past six months, he spent most of his time researching escape plans. Of course, he was familiar with the geographical environments within a radius of a hundred miles.
With the support of the system, memorizing detailed maps was as easy as flipping his hand.
Before he even saw the lake, just based on the speed, direction, and sound of the flowing water, Elrond determined that Crocodile Lake was right ahead.
This lake was the nightmare of all herbivores.
Many herbivores had to cross this river to migrate.
The function of this river was a graveyard for some herbivores.
“God is helping me.”
However, this river was not a graveyard for Elrond. It was a means of escape.
He directly walked to the riverside and without any hesitation, he jumped into the river and disappeared.
Before long, the lights of the gunships covered half of the river.
All the agents on the ground also waited by the river.
No one dared to look down on that fool from the experimental base. He was extraordinary.
This was a real night wolf at a king level.
Helen Harry frowned and said, “Seal off the upper and lower areas of the river.”
She sneered and muttered, “If you are thinking to escape from this river, you’re too naive.”
Thermal imaging sensors were no longer useful for this.
Helen Harry also alighted from the helicopter.
She frowned and said, “He shouldn’t have gone far. Search the river’s surrounding within a two miles radius extensively.
“Gunships, continue to patrol the shore and report anything suspicious immediately.”
Hence a major search was conducted over the next few days.
Helen Harry set up a temporary command tent near the river.
But after searching for a few days, everyone felt as though they had seen a ghost.
There were no clues at all.
Even Harry Helen frowned. “How is this possible?”
“Could he have been eaten up by a crocodile?”
Harry Helen slapped the person with the back of her hand. “Is it possible for the person that I trained to be so useless? Are you trying to insult me?”
The team member quickly lowered his head.
Helen thought over his remark carefully and realized that it was indeed possible.
Elrond was shot twice, once by One and second shot from her.
He took two shots and fell into a lake with thousands of crocodiles.
Would those crocodiles ignore the smell of blood?
Helen said, “Men, kill all the crocodiles in the surrounding vicinity of two miles. Cut open their stomachs and check if Zero is in there. I want to see him, dead or alive.”
Everyone shivered.
This was really ruthless.
But this was an order, so they had to obey it.
Hence, the experimental subjects and the members of the special forces became butchers.
When everyone went off to carry out the order, only One and Helen Harry were on the shore.
They did not notice a crocodile with a strange swimming posture had come ashore and was slowly approaching them.
Helen Harry took a glance at the crocodile and turned her head away.
“One, go and kill that crocodile.”
One did not mind at all. He took the dagger and walked towards the crocodile.
“What’s wrong with this crocodile? Why are its eyes so lifeless?”
At this moment, the crocodile suddenly soared into the sky. Elrond flew out from the crocodile’s stomach and slid One’s throat with the dagger.
Then without stopping, he charged towards Helen Harry.
