"Tonight?"
Xia Xu confirmed.
He only sent Yang Bowen to help track the werewolves, and he himself didn't feel much involved, so he felt that the plot of Hunter was progressing a little too quickly.
"Yes, tonight. We must catch him off guard. The disappearance of two of his men in succession will surely alert Stilwell. It will be very troublesome if he escapes and moves to other places."
Grant acted decisively. In fact, the reason he returned to the rental house was just to send Yang Bowen to a safe place and recover his strength. He soon got ready with Adams, Kaiser and the others.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."
Xia Xu stopped them for the time being.
"Why, are you going to call the police?"
Grant joked with a relaxed expression, but still stopped as he said.
"No, I just want to find you a helper."
As Xia Xu spoke, he started dialing the number that Luo Hongyun had left for him.
This was the number that Luo Hongyun had left him just in case. He should be searching for and hunting down the organization that intended to kidnap Louise, so Xia Xu would not call unless it was necessary.
But now the hunter is obviously about to enter the plot of fighting against the villain boss, so it would be better to be cautious and call on this powerful external aid.
After all, it's a 'movie', the protagonist may win in the end, but it will definitely not be smooth sailing, and there is a high probability that he will fail and survive along the way.
Besides, he still felt that the plot of Hunter was progressing too fast, especially since it was obviously a TV series similar to the American style. It would take at least a dozen or twenty episodes to reach the final decisive battle.
If it wasn't the final showdown, the core villain would definitely not die so easily. Instead, the protagonist would most likely suffer a loss. In order to prevent Grant and the others from getting into trouble, it would be safer to call Luo Hongyun.
And this is indeed an opportunity to make the final decision. Perhaps in the original plot, the werewolves led by Stilwell can win or escape, but they will definitely not be strong enough to crush Grant, the protagonist, otherwise the plot will not continue if the protagonist dies.
If at this moment, on the basis of Grant and others, we add another protagonist of "Night Owl" who may be stronger than Grant, we can completely nip all the hidden dangers in the bud in one go.
"Helper? Oh, man, come on, you actually think the great Grant Hunter Team needs help? We are professionals in hunting werewolves."
Grant complained exaggeratedly: "And who are you going to look for? Your high school classmate? Or some unarmed gangster thug? Don't think I don't know that even the police don't carry guns."
"As long as we are not at a distance, I think my helper can beat ten of you even with bare hands."
Xia Xu rolled his eyes at him and dialed the phone.
However, the call was not connected. After a busy tone, the call was automatically hung up.
"Beat ten of me? Are you kidding? Even Adams can't do it."
Grant clearly wasn't quite convinced.
He inherited some werewolf genes, and his physique is much stronger than that of normal people. Moreover, he has seen top-notch ordinary people, such as Adams.
This was the man he specially invited from the primitive tribe after he realized that he would have difficulty dealing with a werewolf at close range. He was a real strong man who could fight a lion in hand-to-hand combat.
Ding-a-ling~
As Grant was speaking, Luo Hongyun called back, accompanied by a retro cell phone ringtone.
"Do you need me to come over?"
Luo Hongyun's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, which was both crisp and direct.
"Uncle Luo, are you free now? I may need your help. I am at home now..."
Xia Xu said a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
Without waiting for Xia Xu to explain, Luo Hongyun agreed directly, and without asking any further questions, he hung up the phone cleanly.
More than ten minutes later, Luo Hongyun, fully armed, knocked on Xia Xu's door.
At this time, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and a multi-functional hanger that he got from somewhere, which was stuffed with a bunch of metal throwing knives and daggers, but these were all covered under a black hoodie.
Luo Hongyun looks weird in a hoodie at first glance, but after a few more glances, he is quite cool and gives people a unique sense of mystery.
However, Luo Hongyun is a pragmatist. The main reason for wearing this outfit is obviously convenience of movement. It would be too conspicuous to walk in the city of Xia Kingdom in such a fully armed state without a loose robe on the outside.
"Is this the helper you mentioned? He does look pretty good."
After seeing Luo Hongyun, Grant finally took things seriously.
Although there is no such thing as strength sensing, Luo Hongyun's size and obvious aura of being experienced in battle are enough to show that he is somewhat extraordinary. At the very least, he is no worse than an ordinary special forces soldier.
"You're looking for me because of them?"
Luo Hongyun just glanced at Grant, Adams and others casually, and then looked at Xia Xu.
"No, no."
Xia Xu quickly denied it.
This soldier king is not a talkative person like Grant. He is a typical ruthless person who doesn't talk much. He used a fatal move on the two foreigners last time. It would be bad if he used the same move on Grant and the others.
After denying it, Xia Xu said, "Uncle Luo, do you remember the news I showed you last time, the one about the rabid dog attacking people?"
"Remember, you said you thought you would be attacked too."
Luo Hongyun nodded.
Xia Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't feel that way anymore. I was indeed attacked a few days ago, and it was an extraordinary creature, a werewolf formed by the combination of human and wolf genes."
"Werewolves? Are there really such things?"
Luo Hongyun frowned, but soon focused his attention on something more important. He glanced at Xia Xu and found that he had not been injured before he asked, "Why didn't you notify me at the time?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Luo, I'm not seriously injured. I was saved by Grant and the others at the critical moment."
Seeing the obvious concern on Luo Hongyun's usually serious and cold face, Xia Xu felt a little warm in his heart.
After explaining, he continued, "I can't prove the werewolf thing for now, but Grant and the others have found their lair. This time, I would like to ask you, Uncle Luo, to take care of these monsters."
As he said this, he chuckled, "These werewolves are man-eating monsters. Uncle Luo, you should not be lenient when you kill them, right?"
"I won't show mercy to anyone."
Luo Hongyun's face turned cold: "And if there really is a werewolf, I would like to see it."
"Then let's get going quickly."
Grant, who was already getting a little anxious, urged him on, not knowing that he might have just escaped from the gates of hell.
"Okay then, let's go."
Xia Xu nodded, looked around the room, and picked up the anti-wolf spray and stun gun he had bought earlier.
This time, the anti-wolf spray can really prevent "wolves".
Grant was stunned and asked: "You want to go too?"
"Originally I wasn't planning to go, but since Uncle Luo is here, I think I can go over and see the world."
Xia Xu shrugged.
As for Grant and the others, he really didn't plan to take the risk, but with Luo Hongyun, it should be enough to protect him.
If he had known the past, he would have been able to grasp the direction of the plot through Stilwell's supporting character's fate, and the chances of them encountering accidents and assassinations would have been much smaller. More importantly, he would have been able to improvise and obtain the wolf clan enhancement serum mentioned in the plot.
Since we can develop a serum that strengthens wolf genes, it is equally possible to develop one that strengthens human genes. This ready-made sample of black technology should not be missed, and it would be even better if we could get the specific technical information.
He was not too confident about letting Grant and the others go on their own. Since the wolf serum appeared in the plot and specifically mentioned strengthening "wolves", it would most likely be used.
And there are basically only two possibilities, either the villain is injected with the explosive when he is crushed, or the protagonist is killed by the bloody medicine with low health. If this thing is used and Stilwell, the developer, dies or runs away again, he will have no place to cry.
"Well, if that's the case, then the helper you found only needs to protect you."
Grant no longer worried about it, and the group set off in a van that they had rented in recent days for ease of movement.
…
"Is this the place?"
The van drove all the way to the suburbs. The surroundings became more and more desolate, and finally stopped in a deserted area.
Going further ahead is a factory building.
To be precise, it should be considered the headquarters of a small company, because the company name is written on the wall at the entrance with a red tile base - Xingcheng Ande Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
However, most of the area there is production plants, with only a few office buildings, which should be the offices and laboratories for research and development of this small pharmaceutical company.
"This is the information we got from the werewolf before."
Dorothea, who was in charge of driving and also organizing the information, spoke up.
"Any plans?"
Xia Xu nodded and looked at Grant.
They are professionals in hunting werewolves. He and even Luo Hongyun are all outsiders.
"There's no plan. All the white, black, and mixed-race adults will just conduct probing attacks. Any creature that dares to fight back will be killed."
Grant, ready for battle, became exceptionally cool and serious. He picked up his compound bow, packed up his quiver, and got off the car. Kaiser, Adams, and the others seemed to be accustomed to his style and followed him one after another.
“I don’t know whether to complain about your professionalism or your cruelty to your compatriots… Don’t get me wrong, I mean Westerners.”
Xia Xu felt that Grant and his men were unreliable. Seeing the silent, highly alert and focused Luo Hongyun, he felt relieved. He asked Grant again, "What about tactics? No plans?"
“In fact, there were less than a hundred real werewolves born from the Andela Group, and more than twenty years was only enough for one generation to grow to adulthood.
So even if we count the werewolves that they reproduced with each other and the half-wolves that mixed with humans, there won’t be many, and after we continue to hunt them down, there will be even fewer.”
Seeing Xia Xu's doubtful look, Grant finally explained: "And these werewolves are not really a whole. Most of them live scattered around the world, and at most form groups with a few of their own kind nearby.
After all, they need food, and if they all gather together, they will be easily exposed, so even an ambitious person like Stilwell needs to find ways to gather these werewolves. We won't have too many opponents."
"Uncle Luo, what do you think?"
Xia Xu looked at Luo Hongyun.
Although what Grant said made sense, he was more willing to believe Luo Hongyun's judgment.
"You can go in and take a look. If those werewolves are only as bad as you say, there will be no problem in protecting you and getting out safely."
Luo Hongyun nodded.
He acted cautiously and asked Grant in detail about the werewolves on the way.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go."
Xia Xu felt relieved, and the group quietly approached the wall. Instead of going through the main gate, they climbed over the wall and entered Ande Pharmaceutical.
The first thing we landed on was a factory building, which looked like it had been shut down or even abandoned for some time. It was empty, with neither workers nor equipment.
After a quick look, they quickly turned their attention to the office building that still had the lights on.
"Wait, this is a human. He should be just an ordinary security guard who is making up the numbers."
Xia Xu held down Grant's raised compound bow, preventing him from shooting an arrow at a security guard in the lobby of the office building.
It seems that what he said before coming in was really not a joke, and he really intended to use the attack method to confirm the identity of the werewolf.
There is a reason for doing so, and he does not intend to kill them from the beginning. Instead, he uses this method to verify that most ordinary people would be afraid and flee when attacked, and the ones who would fight back and kill them would most likely be werewolves and their minions.
But this kind of random attack will indeed hurt ordinary people. If there is no other way, it is understandable. However, it is very easy for Xia Xu to distinguish these things, so there is naturally no need to do such a thing.
"Are you sure? How do you know he's human?"
Grant frowned slightly: "This is not a joke. If a werewolf gets close to me, even I will be in trouble."
"Very sure and certain."
Xia Xu nodded without joking and said, "As for how I know this, it's just a hunch. You can think of it as a special ability of mine."
"Use this, do you know how to use it?"
Luo Hongyun trusted Xia Xu's "premonition", or rather, he didn't care. He took out a military slingshot from his pocket and handed it over.
Although modern thermal weapons are the mainstream, bows, crossbows, slingshots and the like have not been eliminated in special operations, and their power is still strong after being manufactured and designed with modern materials.
“There’s no shooting prop I can’t use.”
Grant's eyes lit up when he saw the military slingshot handed over by Luo Hongyun.
He would definitely not agree to take the risk of believing in Xia Xu's so-called premonition, but he could accept long-range testing with a military slingshot.
After taking the slingshot and the accompanying steel balls, Grant pulled it open and tried it out, then aimed directly at the security guard in the hall, even using less force.
whoosh!
Bang.
The bullet hit the target accurately and the security guard in the hall fell down.
"Are you really an ordinary person?"
Grant looked back at Xia Xu unexpectedly, then gave him a thumbs up without hesitation.
