“…” Pei Jinye was speechless, “Brother Bi.”
“Hmm?”
“You didn’t use to be like this,” Pei Jinye said pensively.
Brother Bi coughed dryly, “You’re still young and don’t understand that at my age, it’s springtime every moment.”
“Heh.”
…
“Too bad I like watermelon and not potstickers,” Brother Bi retracted his gaze.
Pei Jinye changed the subject, “Is there a mission today?”
“There’s an investigation report… let me find it,” Brother Bi began to search through the back end, “Got it.”
Pei Jinye looked over.
“There’s a factory on Tian Dong Road; last night, there was an employee poisoning incident. The Night Patrol Department suspects there’s an alien beast, and we’re to conduct identification and investigation,” Brother Bi closed the backend and gestured, “This kind of mission is neither difficult nor easy. If it’s a common alien beast, the two of us can handle it, but if the alien beast’s combat power is too high… listen to me, don’t hesitate, immediately call for support.”
The two went to Logistics Old Zhang to collect equipment.
Big Black Dog had gone who knows where to fool around, and Pei Jinye couldn’t find it.
In the mountains near the base, a Bluebird was engaged in a fierce battle with the local birds, fighting bravely on its own without the slightest sign of fear.
Pei Jinye glanced at it before refocusing his attention.
They were getting ready to head out.
At that moment, Brother Bi signaled to him that there was an incoming call.
He said with a light laugh, “I knew Zhou Ye had a nose like a dog’s.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye couldn’t help but chuckle.
Brother Bi answered the call, and Zhou Ye’s voice came through loud and clear, wanting to join the mission.
“Why the hell would you come, are you healed yet?” Brother Bi said unceremoniously, “I’ll arrange a mission for you next time… Really healed? Shit, you aren’t pretending to be sick, are you?”
After hanging up the phone.
Brother Bi looked at Pei Jinye, “That kid’s coming.”
“His wounds are healed?” Pei Jinye asked.
“He said his discharge from the hospital has been processed, and the hospital has declared he can be discharged,” Brother Bi couldn’t help but laugh, “He is quite determined; if it were me, I’d have made sure to take the full three days off.”
Pei Jinye chuckled lightly.
Brother Bi drove a roundabout way to pick up Zhou Ye at the intersection.
Seeing the kid’s grin, Brother Bi couldn’t help but laugh and curse, “You really treat yourself like Iron Man.”
Zhou Ye pointed to his Titanium Alloy Prosthesis and boasted, “Isn’t this exactly like Iron Man? I’ve trained for a good while; with the prosthesis, I’ve increased both speed and strength significantly.”
“That good?” Brother Bi said skeptically.
Zhou Ye nodded earnestly, “Brother Bi, why don’t you try it out too.”
“Get lost, why the hell would I try it, buckle your seatbelt,” Brother Bi turned and said, “Jinye, tell him about the mission.”
…
It was nearly 10:25 in the morning.
Brother Bi, Pei Jinye, and Zhou Ye arrived at the factory near Tian Dong Road.
The three didn’t go to the factory right away.
Instead, they started to identify using equipment in the vicinity of the factory.
It didn’t take long.
Zhou Ye looked up solemnly, “Brother Bi, the air concentration is abnormal, I’m afraid there’s indeed an alien beast.”
“Troublesome,” Brother Bi indicated, “Switch to ultraviolet mode. Jinye, take notes, the air concentration is abnormal, residual toxic substances present… suspect it’s an E-level Alien Beast.”
As they walked, he continued, “The classification of alien beast levels is also done in a simple mode… no need to jot that down, I’m just giving you an overview, knowing is enough.”
Pei Jinye looked up.
Brother Bi gestured, “The alien beasts are graded from F level to A level. Generally, F-level alien beasts don’t pose much danger and have smaller bodies… E-level alien beasts are a bit stronger, usually the size of a hunting hound… For a D-level Alien Beast, don’t think too much, just listen to me and run when you see one.”
“Brother Bi, there’s shed skin here,” Zhou Ye parted the bushes, revealing a section of reddish-brown shed skin about ten centimeters long.
Brother Bi walked over, put on gloves, squatted down to check, and his expression changed instantly.
It was still warm!
Upon closer inspection of the shed skin, he estimated that this alien beast was probably at least over two meters in size!
Brother Bi hurriedly sprang back, “Retreat, retreat, retreat!”
At the same time, he reached for the communicator, “Requesting suppo—”
“Wham!”
The surrounding jungle suddenly rustled with an urgent commotion.
Before Zhou Ye could raise his prosthesis, his whole body was flung away.
Brother Bi’s face changed dramatically.
“Damn!”
He grabbed Pei Jinye, intending to pull back.
But suddenly, a blade flashed by.
The tentacle that had been flung at them was cut in two, hitting the ground with a “thud.”
Brother Bi was dumbfounded.
Pei Jinye sheathed his knife, apparently oblivious to Brother Bi’s astounded expression, his gaze intently fixed on the deep part of the forest opposite them, retreating with Brother Bi.
“Brother Bi, what level is the opponent?”
“At least A level,” Brother Bi came to his senses, called for reinforcements again, and then shouted loudly, “Zhou Ye, are you okay?”
Zhou Ye spat out a few mouthfuls of mud, “I’m fine, just got scared shitless.”
He had barely finished speaking.
When a tentacle wound around his ankle and dragged him into the forest.
“For fuck’s sake!”
Brother Bi’s face went pale, he raised his gun and fired.
Each shot hit the tentacle precisely, but the creature wouldn’t let go.
Pei Jinye charged in.
As Zhou Ye was being dragged away, he pulled out his Titanium Knife and sliced down.
Noticing Pei Jinye rushing over, the two of them reached out in unison, and Pei Jinye pulled him over with one swift motion.
“Run!”
Zhou Ye yelled out loud.
The next moment, thunderous roars resounded from within the forest as if some colossal beast were charging out.
Brother Bi shot his gun to cover Pei Jinye and Zhou Ye.
In an instant.
A gigantic creature over three meters tall appeared, its body covered in stickiness, with a broad, tumourous abdomen from which the tentacles originated.
As fast as lightning, they shot out.
“What the fuck is this thing!” Zhou Ye cursed, almost vomiting what he had eaten in the hospital.
Pei Jinye pushed him from behind, and together they dodged the tentacle’s attack as the ground where they had stood was immediately pocked with holes.
“It’s a Limp Beast! Watch out for its entanglement; its pressure is no less than that of a python!” Brother Bi shouted a warning.
Luckily, all three of them had activated their protective modes and were sheltered by armor.
What Pei Jinye and the others hadn’t expected.
Was that the massive Limp Beast suddenly abandoned them, charging swiftly towards the factory a hundred meters away.
Zhou Ye was stunned, “There seem to be workers still in the factory, Brother Bi, what do we do?”
Brother Bi cursed under his breath.
“Rescue them.” Pei Jinye was the first to set off, unsheathing his knife and giving chase.
Following suit, Brother Bi pressed on the communicator and shouted, “Damn it, has everyone arrived? It’s a D-level Limp Beast, get here as soon as possible, evacuate the civilians!”
…
Ten minutes later.
The cracked walls emitted billowing smoke.
Over ten factory workers were huddled in a corner, shaking… Zhou Ye’s armor was dented in more than ten places, Brother Bi was embedded in the wall.
A large number of special forces from the Night Patrol Department burst into the smoke.
Ignoring the people rushing in, Brother Bi grabbed the communicator, enduring the pain of broken bones, and reported, “Calling headquarters, a D-level Alien Beast spotted on Tian Dong Road, three members from the Investigation Team, two injured, one missing, requesting higher-level assistance to capture!”
