The Death List Novel - Chapter 462
Chapter 462 An Unfamiliar World
“Lieutenant Colonel Klug, are you awake?” The blonde youth immediately waved his hand to stop the troops and hurriedly walked in front of the soldiers carrying Qin Lun. “Please forgive us for our offense. Time is of the essence. We need to move you to a safe place first!”
“They, take, take away … the person in the sickness … ward!” Qin Lun weakly pointed at the room behind him.
His voice was as soft as gossamer silk, but under the concentration of these German soldiers, they could actually hear every word from several meters away. Without waiting for the young captain’s orders, a few soldiers immediately turned around and rushed into the ward behind them.
A few minutes later, they came out with several patients dressed in medical uniforms on their backs.
Qin Lun glanced at the patients and quickly recognized Grant and Rice from the two pairs of eyes that were already open. The clown and the female archer now looked as weak as he did.
Seeing that the three of them had finally met, Qin Lun’s heart relaxed and he leaned against the soldier’s shoulder and fell asleep.
…
Half asleep and half awake, Qin Lun suddenly felt a vast expanse of white in front of him. He subconsciously tilted his head, woke up, and raised his hand to block it. When he realized that he had woken up, he did not open his eyes immediately. Instead, he calmly examined his body.
The death list shows the Laws of the Body: 74%. A day and a half has passed since the mission was completed.
Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief. Although he hadn’t fully recovered, his physical condition could already support him in a short battle. However, he soon discovered that there was an inconspicuous notification under his body condition, indicating that his body was in a mild state of paralysis.
The paralyzed state was rapidly fading away. Qin Lun checked it and found that it was the function of the Evil Dagger. It seemed that his Life Slaughter Legacy could not only absorb soul power, it could also devour the negative state of his body caused by the effects of drugs.
“Haha, it’s a pity to meet a battle hero in such a situation!” Qin Lun heard a hearty laugh.
Qin Lun opened his eyes and sized up his surroundings. He was in a spacious medical room filled with various medical equipment, many of which were attached to his chest and arms.
There were three people in the room. Grant, the clown, was lying on a hospital bed on the left. He had already woken up. When he saw his gaze, he immediately nodded in disbelief.
Apart from the two of them, there was a white-painted high-foot stool opposite the hospital bed. It looked like it was a standard accessory for the medical room. On the round stool sat a fat man wearing a white military coat.
Fatty wore a pair of golden spectacles, his facial features were straight, and his blonde hair was neatly combed with a large back, making him look greasy and bright. Seeing that both Qin Lun and Grant had woken up, the fatty stood up from the stool, raised his head and chest, and raised his hand solemnly in a standard Nazi salute.
“Allow me to pay my respects to you, Lieutenant Colonel Klug, the Empire’s battle hero!”
“Who are you?” Qin Lun and Grant exchanged a glance. Although the two of them had just woken up, they both had some rough judgments in their hearts. Facing the fatty’s salute, Qin Lun remained silent. The person who spoke was a clown.
“This humble Montana Max, a major, is now the commander of this empire’s special forces!” The fatty smiled gracefully and glanced at Grant meaningfully before continuing to speak to Qin Lun.
“Where are we now?” Qin Lun’s eyes flashed as he asked cautiously.
“We are on the Zeppelin. This is the surviving technological elite of the empire. The airship was secretly built in the year 127 on the Divine Comedy Calendar. It is named after the Zeppelin airship during World War II!” Major Max explained with a smile.
“How did you find us?” Grant asked in a deep voice.
After Qin Lun and Grant woke up, the memories of the characters in their possession began to appear in the Apostle’s Soul Seal like they were storing information, making it easier for them to access them.
In fact, the storyline identities of the two of them did not completely disappear with the apostle’s withdrawal from the mission world. In the World War II world, after Qin Lun and the others returned, these identities did not appear in public for a period of time.
The Third Reich launched a new round of spy cleansing in the occupied territories. The Axis special forces of Fort Onin and the Hydra forces also launched a series of battles against the Allied Alliance for Justice superhumans.
However, after the return of the apostles, the Broken Star Sky actually retained a few storyline identities. This was due to the Iron Cross Medal that Qin Lun and the others had obtained. This storyline item, which was deeply related to the mission world, was also a token of the world in disguise.
However, as time passed, the connection between the Iron Cross Medal and the World War II world also weakened. Thus, they were unable to return to their previous time and space. Instead, they entered the world of shadows that separated from the main space and time after the war.
Of course, due to the impact of the shattered starry sky, the boundary between the World War II Shadow World and the main world was somewhat blurry. Especially under the influence of certain space-time factors, this shadow world had the tendency to break away from the main river of space-time and grow into an independent world.
After World War II, Grant retained his storyline identity and did not retire immediately. Instead, he continued to serve in the German army supported by the Allies. By the time the clown Grant retired as a storyteller, he was already a lieutenant colonel, not a captain interrogator during the defeat of the Third Reich.
As for Qin Lun’s storyline identity, he did not continue to serve after the defeat of the Third Empire.
This has to do with Joey killing Catelyn Lewis. Catherine was not only a member of the Justice League, but also a professor at Green College. For this reason, Qin Lun’s storyline identity was treated as a secret war criminal after the war, so he had no choice but to hide his identity.
“Lieutenant Colonel Klug, have you forgotten? You and your companions were taken to the hospital in a car accident while traveling.” The fat major’s eyes lit up as he looked at Qin Lun. “However, the Austrian police found an Iron Cross Medal from your belongings. Through the number on the medal, they confirmed your identity!”
“Of course, our contact in Wayena also saw this report and stole the iron cross from the evidence room and sent it to me along with the police report!” The fat major took out a faded Iron Cross medal from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table beside him. He said with a smile.
‘”If it really caught the attention of Washington and London, you might be in trouble. In fact, the commandos exchanged fire with the British agents hiding nearby when they entered the crude Wayener Hospital. Fortunately, they did not wait for backup, which allowed us to successfully pick you up!”
“It’s just …” Fatty paused for a moment and glanced at Grant before saying meaningfully, “When the medical officer of the flying warship examined you and your friend, he discovered something interesting. Your DNA doesn’t match Lieutenant Colonel Klug’s medical records with the medal, but your friend is very close!”
“Of course, the original records of the empire also showed that you are a superhuman with a special bloodline. Changing your genetic DNA is not a difficult task for you, but … perhaps you can give me a more reasonable explanation?”
My Iron Cross … Qin Lun turned to look at the Iron Cross on the coffee table and glanced at the real Iron Cross in the storage space. He finally confirmed that it was a useless replica. It should be a prop that shattered the starry sky and let the two of them cut into the main plot.
The two old and crafty murderers exchanged glances and immediately saw the same look in each other’s eyes.
Grant pondered for a moment and then said in a low voice, “Your medical officer did not make a mistake. I am Klug. However, please don’t call me Lieutenant Colonel. My rank will always be captain of the Third Reich. Fritz Klug, Captain Interrogator, SS Foreign Intelligence Service!”
Qin Lun looked at the clown with a strange expression. Only now did he know that “Klug” was not the name of his storyline character, but his surname!
“Please forgive our mistake, Captain Klug!” The fat major stood up from the stool and bowed to Grant, but his expression did not seem very surprised. The result was within his conjecture.
“What about you? If he is the hero of the empire, Captain Klug, then who are you?” When the fat major turned around to face Qin Lun, he had already restrained his smile and his eyes lit up. “Before this, we had intruded into Wei Yena’s civil affairs network …”
“However, I can’t find any records about you. Your job title, medical treatment, insurance, address, email address, phone number … Nothing. If this car accident did not happen, you would be an invisible person in this world!”
“Major Montana, right?” Facing the fatty’s question, Qin Lun did not answer directly.
He stood up from his bed, put his pillow behind him, changed into a more comfortable conversation position, closed his eyes and said indifferently, “The Third Reich has disappeared, and Klug has served in post-war Germany for decades. Why did you mention that Washington and London seem to be watching him?”
Regarding Qin Lun’s lack of cooperation, Major Montana Max, who claimed to be the commander of the Imperial Special Forces, didn’t seem to be offended at all. Instead, he smiled and explained the potential situation in the world to the two of them. It was also a crisis that ordinary civilians couldn’t detect.
It turned out that after World War II, the huge rift in the earth’s sky was still having a profound and slow impact on the world.
The black rift, which appeared in 1866 and was discovered in 1867, is actually a rift created by the collision of another world’s spacetime with this spacetime.
When it first appeared, it was less than a kilometer long and only a finger wide, but it continued to expand for decades to come.
At the end of World War II, a small number of large mysterious creatures appeared all over the world. These creatures were all later eliminated by humans, and through research and transformation, during the war, they used their bloodlines as a blueprint to nurture some superhumans.
However, after the war, with the development of science and technology, scientists from all over the world were shocked to discover that these variations in plants and animals were actually related to the effects of spatial and temporal rifts. After that, he discovered that this spatial rift was essentially the intersection of another spatial and temporal world and this world …
