Volume 1 The Long Night Will Dawn Chapter 18 Human Skin
By the time Bu Xiangyang went to the rooftop to inform them that Zhang Wei had woken up, Chen Lian's mood had improved.
In Lin Yan's eyes, perhaps because of his experience, he is a person who likes to keep things and emotions to himself and does not want to cause any trouble to others because of his emotions.
He is a young man who does his job seriously and lives his life seriously.
They returned to the 32nd floor, and at this time, Liu Mingxuan was introducing his identity to Zhang Wei.
"We are the Star Special Operations Team of the Northern Military Region. I am the captain, Liu Mingxuan. We have received a mission from the military region to go to City 032 to rescue you. However, we have encountered some troubles and may still not be able to get out of this wilderness area."
Liu Mingxuan bowed to Zhang Wei and apologized: "I'm sorry, Comrade Zhang Wei, this is due to our lack of ability."
Zhang Wei's hands were shaking, and tears immediately fell. He climbed up from the makeshift hospital bed and held Liu Mingxuan's arms: "Chief, don't say that. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have..."
"...You won't be in danger!"
He had been waiting for so many days and was close to despair. Now when he saw the rescue troops sent, he felt that the day had dawned. As for other things, whether he could return alive or not was secondary.
This feeling of being recognized and cared for warmed his heart.
Wait for Zhang Wei to settle down.
Liu Mingxuan said: "The military district received your incomplete distress message. Regarding this matter, we hope to know what you know about the beast tide and what role Yang Bin played in it."
Zhang Wei nodded. He had been keeping this matter in his mind for some time and was eager to share his discovery with others. He recalled, "Yang Bin and I have been comrades in the same class since we joined the army. We are all familiar with each other and have a good relationship. However, about two days before the beast tide, when Yang Bin came back from a patrol mission, I felt that something was wrong with him."
"He was a very stable person, but that day his movements and demeanor were completely different from usual. His personality was also very strange, and sometimes he seemed irritable. The squad leader criticized him, saying that he did not look like a soldier and had lost the basic qualities of a scout. He was also punished by making him stand at attention on the playground for an entire afternoon."
"I was just a little bit surprised at the time, but I didn't think much about it. I thought he might be in a bad mood recently and would be fine in two days. However, before I could wait for him to recover, something big happened on the 021 defense line."
"A beast tide has occurred!"
"That day at noon, we were eating in the cafeteria. One of our platoons was wiped out at the beginning of the beast tide. We usually trained together and knew each other to some extent. Suddenly, they died. We were all very depressed and sad."
"But he was smiling. I saw it clearly. His smile was very strange, or... weird. I was a little angry at the time. I wondered how he could be like this. I was also a little panicked. I thought about his behavior over the past two days and had an amazing idea in my mind."
"This person is not Yang Bin."
Having said that, Liu Mingxuan and others looked at each other.
That person was indeed not Yang Bin. The real Yang Bin had died long before the beast tide occurred.
"Then I wanted to report my thoughts to the company commander. Although there was no evidence, this matter was very unusual, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
"But the war had just started, and the company commander and instructor were not in the company, so I had to go find the squad leader."
"But when I arrived at the squad leader's barracks, I found a shocking scene. Yang Bin..." Zhang Wei's voice was a little panicked: "He killed the squad leader and peeled off his skin!"
This sentence was a bit creepy, and the faces of those who were listening to it were also a bit solemn.
"He put the human skin on himself and turned himself into the squad leader!"
You can assume someone else’s identity by wearing human skin!
No wonder Yang Bin disappeared before Zhang Wei disappeared, and there was no record of him leaving the military area. At that time, he had changed his identity and became Zhang Wei's squad leader.
"I was so scared that I wanted to scream, but at that moment I saw a pair of eyes in the darkness and immediately lost consciousness."
Liu Mingxuan asked, "What kind of eyes? Do you still remember them?"
Zhang Wei recalled: "It was golden and looked like a gem."
No one had any clue.
"What happened when you woke up ? Why did you appear in City 032? Do you know anything about this?"
Zhang Wei lowered his head: "Actually, I wasn't here when I first woke up ."
"Huh?"
Lin Yan let out a light exclamation. This matter was really confusing.
"When I first woke up, I was in a place that looked like a prison. I wasn't the only one in there. I saw other people in other cells, but they were all dying."
"I was stolen by this gray ape."
Zhang Wei pointed at the gray gorilla downstairs and said, "It seemed to treat me as a toy. It opened the cell and took me out. I sneaked out of the prison. I also saw an armored dragon sleeping outside the prison."
He is a scout and has some knowledge of monsters and can recognize their types.
"Iron-armored dragon?" Chu Wei groaned for a moment, then said, "There is indeed a lord-level iron-armored dragon at the location of the former city prison!"
Lord level!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were still on him, Zhang Wei continued, "After that, the gorilla treated me like a toy. It put a collar on me, held a whip in its hand, and forced me to do things like chewing wood and jumping through fire rings at its command."
"I found that my communication device was not damaged, so I tried to ask the military for help when it wasn't paying attention. But after I said a few words, the communication device was snatched away and crushed by the gray gorilla."
"It was very angry, and then it threw me into this building because there were monsters everywhere outside. I'm not a warrior, so I had no choice but to stay in this building."
Lin Yan frowned and said, "The behavior of this gray gorilla gives me the feeling..."
He pondered, feeling that this approach had a strong sense of déjà vu.
"Do you think it's because before the Great Nirvana period, it was also an animal that was put on a collar and trained to jump through fire hoops and other acrobatics. So after becoming a monster, it has this revengeful mentality. It puts a collar on people and trains them to do the same thing. Throwing them into a building means being locked up in a small dark room, which is a punishment for disobedience!"
"Probably."
Everyone thought this speculation made sense.
Li Tao said, "If it's like what Zhang Wei said, we must make plans early. It's also unknown whether the lord-level iron armored dragon will rush over after waking up. If it really comes, then we won't even have a chance to resist."
Lord level.
This word weighed heavily on their hearts, not to mention that it was a powerful monster like the Ankylosaurus, an opponent that even a War God-level powerhouse would find difficult to deal with.
Compared to them, they are too weak.
"If we must escape from the monsters as soon as possible, I have an idea."
When everyone was at a loss, Lin Yan said.
There is a bright light flashing in his eyes, which is passion and madness.
