Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 27 26. The Shocking Event

In August 1989, Merlin encountered the Sangong Demon, which started his years of wandering.

It is now October 1991, and Merlin has been away from home for two full years.

Except for the long stay in Hell's Kitchen, Merlin hardly had time to stop during this trip.

He encountered a lot, experienced a lot, saw the true appearance of the world, and encountered countless dangers, and even fell into a fatal crisis several times.

But in his past trips, he had never encountered such a situation.

The roaring motorcycle had already stopped on the side of the road, and the cold, heavily armed killer was approaching the car, but no matter what actions he made, the gunfire in his hand never stopped.

That kind of terrifying fire suppression made Merlin dare not show his face in the shadow cloak.

The shadow can only cover his figure, but it cannot help him block the bullet.

He was carrying a gray box, lying on the bottom of the car, using both hands and feet.He climbed up to the old lady and the old man, pulled them into the shadows one by one, and tried hard to escape from the shattered car hit by bullets.

Fortunately, this is a place shrouded in darkness, where Merlin's Shadow Cloak can exert the strongest effect.

"click"

With a soft sound, the gun in the attacker's hand emptied the bullet, and the ruthless black-clothed soldier threw the weapon aside.He didn't immediately pursue the three people who disappeared out of thin air. He came to the back of the vehicle, and in front of his eyes was an empty trunk.

The most important thing was taken away!

This made the attacker draw two pistols from his waist again, and the strange visor on his face searched in the dark. With a soft click, the visor switched to night vision mode.Amidst the pale green fluorescence, the ruthless attacker easily spotted the bloodstains on the grass extending deep into the woods.

He rushed behind a tree calmly, raised the pistol in his hand, and aimed at the end of the extended bloodstain, and there was nothing there.

But there's something there!

"bang, bang"

Two gunshots sounded, and two balls of blood exploded from the body of the old man who was being dragged away by Merlin with great difficulty, and also broke Merlin's shadow cloak, exposing the three people lying on the ground to the darkness and darkness.

Merlin's perception of danger in his heart was raised to the extreme at this moment, he put down the two wounded in his hand, and rolled forward suddenly.

Behind him, where he was lying on his stomach just now, the subsequent bullets shot into the grass, causing the grass to fly.

He is exposed!

"Run! Run!"

The will that emerged in his mind made Merlin use his hands and feet on the ground, and strong fear captured his mind. He wanted to escape from the terrifying attacker behind him.

But just when Merlin got up, a gust of wind came from behind, and the sharp reaction brought by the dark perception made Merlin suddenly lower his head, and with a clenched fist, he rubbed his hair and smashed it. go out.

The attacker is right behind!

Why is his speed so fast!

"boom"

The attacker's second punch was blocked by Merlin's arms, but that terrifying force hit his arms like shells, sending Merlin flying up.

He fell to the ground, his arms aching.

In front of his eyes, the assailant with the weird mask wiped his hands around his waist, and two black fighting knives fell into his hands. Only then did Merlin notice that the assailant's right arm was weird. Silvery white, that's obviously not normal skin, it's made of steel.

And on the metal arm, there is a strange red star, which looks like the symbol of the former Soviet Union.

Merlin could still feel that the ruthless attacker in front of him had no emotional reaction at all during the battle, as if he was a real robot with the purpose of killing.

But it is meaningless to see these details, seeing this cruel evil star walking towards him with a knife in his hand.Merlin realized that what this guy wanted was probably the gray box on his back.

The next moment, Merlin took down the box behind him, and threw it decisively at the attacker in front of him. The latter was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously hugged the thrown box in his arms.

Taking advantage of this moment, Merlin jumped up suddenly, and the whole person entered the shadow cloak again.

He wanted to help those in need, but that didn't mean Merlin had to sacrifice his own life.

Helping others is a good thing, but when necessary, you still have to consider the cost.

Under the cover of the shadow, he ran away from this dangerous guy at the fastest speed. There is no doubt that he has no chance of winning if he fights head-on.

Facing Merlin who disappeared again, the assailant who got the gray box did not give up hunting.

This is a secret mission, and any life in the mission must be eliminated.

In the next second, the attacker took out something from the back of his waist, pulled the latch, and threw it in the direction where Merlin disappeared in a standard throwing posture.

It was a...specially made grenade.

"whoosh"

The sound of a projectile falling made Merlin, who was running fast, turn around. He saw a black thing hit the ground not far behind him, and jumped a few times.Immediately afterwards, a mass of blazing flames and terrifying energy erupted from it.

That's crazy! ! !

Merlin subconsciously turned around, raised his arms, and crossed them to block his eyes.

The flames and shock waves that destroyed everything smashed towards Merlin in an overwhelming manner, but at the moment when the destructive flames covered Merlin's body, the protection of darkness was activated again.

Black smoke, billowing black smoke surged out from the dazzling flames, and Merlin's entire body was rapidly melting into smoke.

The power of darkness flowed on his body, activating the suppressed anger in his heart.This grenade made him realize that the attacker had no intention of staying alive, and he would do everything possible to destroy the witnesses...

There is no escape, and there is no way to escape.

There was only one last path left before Merlin's eyes.

"boom"

An even more terrifying explosion flew up in the flames, even crushing the flames of the explosion on the ground.

The ash storm mixed with Mars has never been so active like this time, maybe it sensed Merlin's desperate heart. After offsetting the explosion of the flames, it did not dissipate quietly like before.

On the contrary, the black ash storm gathered in the air, like a cloud of smoke dragons, as if being blown by the wind, roaring and smashing towards the attackers who were about to leave.

The murderer!

After throwing the grenade, the ruthless attacker didn't even take the time to look at the results.As the most powerful killer in the world, he never wastes time focusing on things that don't make sense. .

He knew his weapons well, and the specially made grenade would destroy anything within a half-arc within a few hundred meters of the landing point in a directional manner after landing.

At the running speed of that strange human being who would disappear, he couldn't escape the range covered by the explosion at all.

As long as that guy is still flesh and blood, he is dead.

The ruthless assailant was carrying a gray box. He drew his pistol and walked towards the old couple lying on the grass.That was the target he had to get rid of.

But just after he took a dozen steps, a strong and scorching burning breath appeared from behind him.

The assailant turned his head sharply, already holding a powerful shotgun in his hand.He resolutely fired at the ghosts behind him, firing 5 rounds of shotgun shells in a row, and hundreds of small steel balls flew behind him, but they missed the target at all.

No matter how powerful the bullet is, how can it hurt the wind?

While the angry dark wind let out a sharp hiss, the attacker was caught by the surging dark storm and rose from the ground.He struggled desperately, but it was like being bound by an invisible cloud of smoke, his flesh and blood were torn apart, and he was dragged into the sky.

Merlin controlled this dark power with a weak will. After rushing into the sky for nearly 30 meters, he was no longer able to control the violent dark magic power, so he let go of his will and let the dark magic power vent out in the most craziest manner. .

"boom"

Accompanied by a loud noise, countless sparks erupted in the air, like a cannonball exploding in the air.

The power contained in the dark magic power was like thousands of fists, which slammed on the attacker's body, easily tore apart his combat uniform, then tore his flesh and blood, and then slammed into his bones.

The power from the Sangong Demon was never kind. After Merlin released it completely for the first time, it was like a howling demon, vowing to annihilate this ruthless killer in the air.

"Ahhh!"

Even an indifferent super soldier couldn't resist the pain of the magic buzzing into his body. For just a moment, he seemed to be thrown into a storm of sharp blades spinning by the knife wheel.The scorching dark magic power almost cut the skin of his whole body, maybe in the next moment, he will be torn apart completely, and he will die here completely.

But, no.

The attacker's physical fitness has been specially strengthened. His bone density and muscle strength are far superior to those of ordinary people. He also has an unusually fast self-healing power, which makes it difficult for him to support himself under the ravages of the released dark magic power. last minute.

He tightly protected his heart with his metal right arm, and the magic power crazily eroded his metal arm, but in the end he failed to break through this line of defense.

Accompanied by an unwilling roar, Merlin's perseverance at the level of will reached the limit, and the dark storm suddenly closed.

It reassembled into Merlin's complete body, causing Merlin to fall to the ground, while on the other side, the tormented inhuman super soldier was also like a stone stained red by blood, in the rain of blood dripping , Slammed into the woods ahead without a sound.

He might not be dead, but he's certainly too weak to fight on.

He underestimated Merlin, and he paid a heavy price.

"puff"

Weak and pale, Merlin knelt beside the old couple.The graceful lady had already lost her breath, while the old man who was shot still maintained his final consciousness under the stimulation of pain.

"sorry..."

Merlin held his hand, and he whispered apologetically:

"I can't save you, I'm too weak... sorry."

"Take it, they...they won't let you go...run, boy, run..."

With his last strength, the old man pointed to the grass not far away.

There, the remains of the gray box that was torn apart by the explosion hit the ground, and the few bags of blue liquid in it were also torn apart by the explosion, but a little liquid remained in the bag fortunately.

"what is that?"

Merlin asked, but the old man had no way to answer him.

He was shot, and his internal organs were severely injured in the previous car accident. His consciousness has been blurred. He clasped Merlin's wrist firmly, and he said like a dream:

"Tell...tell Tony..."

"We...we love him..."

"Who is Tony? Don't sleep! Tell me, who is he?"

Merlin helped the old man up, patted his cheek, trying to wake him up again, but after just a few seconds, the old man completely lost his breath.

"buzzing"

Severe wind and noisy voices came from the night sky, and Merlin raised his head.In his dark vision, he could clearly see several helicopters coming in this direction. It seemed that the identity of this old man was very unusual.

Merlin knew that he should go.

With his current situation, being involved in such a thing is definitely not a good thing.

With the last bit of time, he put the old man beside the old lady, and wiped the blood on their faces with his sleeve.

Then he stood up, bowed to the two deceased, walked to the wreckage of the box, picked up the last small half bag of liquid, poured it carefully into the small water bottle he carried, and put it close to his body put it in your pocket.

Merlin put his baseball cap on his head as the first helicopter entered the messy scene.He turned and called out to Shadow, who disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.

"boom"

Before the helicopter landed, a man in a windbreaker jumped into the ground. He rushed into the scene against the strong wind, and the first thing he saw was the old couple lying on the ground. They were already dead.

"We're still late."

The man clenched his fists and stood beside the old couple's body like a statue.Behind him, the soldiers in black uniforms spread out in pieces, and under the order of several commanders, they began to search for something on the surrounding grass.

A moment later, the wreckage of the gray box was found, and a commander full of military temperament walked up to his superior, lowered his voice, and reported:

"Sir Fury! We found some suspected serums... but they were mostly destroyed in the explosion."

Nick Fury, the senior agent of the Strategic Science Corps had a grim expression at this time.He waved his fingers and said to the commander in a hoarse voice:

"Pack everything up and bring it back to base."

Looking at the two corpses in front of him, he couldn't help clenching his fists:

"Bring back the remains of Mr. Howard and Ms. Maria, and inform Ms. Peggy that I need to review the internal personnel of the Strategic Science Corps!"

"Find the person who leaked the news!"

"Then, let him pay the price!"
