Edmund woke up half an hour later.
He confirmed it through the two clocks on the wall, the watch on his wrist, and the small electronic watch hidden in the hem of his coat.
These were habits he had acquired.
Obviously, once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change.
Rubbing his swollen temples, he casually went to get the communicator.
"Esther? Esther?"
Edmund shouted directly.
"Senior Edmond, are you awake?"
Esther's surprised voice came from the communicator, which made Edmond slightly relieved.
Esther is fine, which proves that there is a lot of room for redemption.
Edmund knew Lawrence well.
Once the backhand arranged by the opponent is really activated, Este and the others who are closest to him will definitely not have the possibility of surviving.
"Tell me in detail what happened next."
Edmund pulled out the infusion tube, stood up from the bed, and refused the doctor's inspection.
He is very aware of the condition of his body.
Weakness, but only from fatigue.
There were no injuries.
However, after standing up, he still staggered several times.
In this regard, Edmond smiled wryly.
I haven't been in this state for too long, and the feeling now is really terrible.
Edmund felt helpless in his heart.
And Esther, who heard the voice here through the communicator, hurriedly asked:
"Senior Edmond, are you alright?"
"fine."
"Tell me what happened after I fell into a coma."
"Yes, after you passed out, it happened..."
Esther spoke quickly, but succinctly explained what happened just now.
Including the accident of two D-class personnel.
Set up error-guided traps, then set up guards...
Exactly the Lawrence style.
Edmon frowned when he heard that the big lizard seemed to be able to continuously evolve and adapt.
The stronger the guard, the stronger the guarded thing will be.
Moreover, according to Lawrence's behavior style, that thing or that existence must be in a state of being suppressed, but able to restrain the guards!
Once the guard leaves.
That thing or that existence will completely erupt into a real disaster.
However, with Lawrence's malicious character, it was naturally not that simple.
What the other party wanted was that after they worked so hard to solve the guard, they found that they had done something wrong and killed the guard by themselves, releasing the despair of a real 'devil'.
What would that thing or that being be
It won't be too big if it can hide from the 'shelter' headquarters. Similarly, under normal conditions, there won't be anything unusual.
Coupled with the choice of 'guardian' and the construction of the underground, the category narrows down again.
Normally, it must be that we can see it everywhere.
But once it erupts, it is extremely terrifying.
only…
Could such a layout really be done by Lawrence alone
Edmund knew Lawrence well.
The opponent is insidious and cunning, and has a considerable status in the headquarters.
But, that is 'quite'.
It's not really covering the sky with one hand.
After all, the other party didn't even enter the organization's parliament.
besides!
It is also the most important point!
Why exactly is 'Ang City'
It happened to be arranged here, and then, just happened to break out such a 'war'
Is it too much of a coincidence
What else is there that I don't know
Could it be...
Edmond, who thought of this, stared.
He hated to admit it, but when so many doubts arose, only that answer could explain,
However, Edmond did not tell Estedo.
"I'll be right there."
He just said so.
Some things, the more you know, the better.
Especially under the premise that it is very likely to be monitored.
As Edmund walked out, he looked at the communicator at his waist.
Then, he used the communicator to call the headquarters.
This is not the first time he dialed.
Before the 'war' broke out, he dialed through.
One is that the situation exceeded their expectations.
Secondly, it is natural to ask for reinforcements.
"I'm Wayne."
A stern female voice came. Just by hearing this voice, an unreasonable, stereotyped middle-aged woman with tall dignitaries, sharp eyes, combed hair, and wearing glasses would appear in my mind involuntarily. .
"I'm Edmond."
"The battle situation exceeded our expectations. The attack of the 'Temple' was contained by the 'Night Owl Court'."
"Also, 'Hydra' has opened underground shelters to provide shelter for civilians."
Edmund told the truth.
"Um."
"anything else?"
On the other side of the communicator, there seemed to be a normal question.
But it fell into Edmond's ears at this time, but it made his heart tremble.
besides…
Sure enough, the headquarters knew about it
And the time when the communicator was picked up just now, almost instantly... Wei En is waiting for my news!
Edmund, who quickly made a judgment, immediately focused his eyes slightly.
Wayne represents Lawrence's hostile forces
Or internal strife between the same forces
Edmund doesn't know too much about the internal strife between the same forces.
Inside the 'shelter' is no exception.
Of course, this time the 'infighting' may be different.
Because, there are some other existences mixed in.
An existence that affects the whole body: the old man who started a new century with a punch of "peace".
Arras' grandfather!
The 'shelter' headquarters should know the other party's information in Angcheng.
Therefore, this series of arrangements appeared.
Otherwise, it cannot be explained at all.
Is it a test
Edmund thought to himself, his eyes instantly returned to normal.
"Under the Angcheng base, I found Lawrence's 'backhand'!"
"It is temporarily impossible to specifically judge the danger, but based on the 'abnormalities' encountered at this stage, the potential danger should be extremely high!"
"The 'Mask Man' is helping us fight the 'Anomaly'."
Edmund spoke truthfully.
"clear."
"Reinforcements will arrive shortly."
"Please stick to it."
Wayne ended the call after speaking.
Edmund picked up the communicator again, this time not Esther, but Percy.
"How's Percy doing?"
Edmund asked.
"We all went into the underground shelter and everything is fine."
Patsy replied.
"Ah That's good."
"Don't worry, everything will pass."
"All of us will gather around the table again and tell Danvers for me that I look forward to her cooking."
Edmund reminded Passy as if he was caring normally.
Without any extra words, he hung up the communicator.
Hope Percy can make it in time!
Edmund thought silently in his heart, and after putting the communicator on his waist, he nodded to Clark and Lites, who carried a lot of heavy weapons, special weapons, ammunition and two reserve mobile teams.
"We will be able to kill that big lizard this time."
Litus said viciously.
He already knew what happened underground through the communicator.
Although his people did not die in the true sense, the kind of thrills made the vice captain feel terrified.
As for the big lizard that made him almost lose his men, Liszt didn't have any good impressions.
"Um."
Edmund didn't deny it.
Clark led the way without saying a word.
A group of people quickly entered the emergency passage and went underground.
After the call was over, Passy, who was holding the communicator, had a serious expression on his face.
Before the 'war' broke out, Edmund had made an agreement with her that if something happened, he would contact her and remind her with words of exhortation and concern.
So, the real answer lies in the words just now.
Danvers was mentioned, but Danvers was with me.
So, certainly not Danvers himself,
cooking
Anyone who has tasted Danvers' cooking
Jason didn't.
The rest tasted it, but Edmund spoke of us, that is, while he was present.
that time…
Arras is not here!
Arras in danger? !
Passy quickly guessed what Edmund wanted to express.
Without hesitation, she immediately walked to the side of the 'Hydra' members.
"Ms. Patsy."
The 'Hydra' members responded respectfully.
The Percy in front of him, including the baby Stark in his stomach, has long been regarded as one of his own by the Hydra.
Moreover, it is still a quasi-high level.
"Aras is in danger!"
"You must remind her!"
"It should be a targeted trap!"
Passy said.
"clear!"
The 'Hydra' members nodded, turned around and began to report upwards.
Passed layer by layer, and soon contacted Arras who was fighting.
At this time, Arras just smashed an 'abnormality' made of rocks with one punch.
"Danger?"
Aras was startled, not because of the news.
It was because, in front of her, a group of people appeared.
This is a team of six people who are fully armed and covered their faces, but their aura is very strong. As soon as they appeared, they surrounded Arras.
"Ms. Arras, we have no malicious intentions."
"We just wanted to learn something from you..."
boom!
There was the sound of a shotgun firing.
That was the sound of Arras shaking his fist.
She doesn't trust each other.
Just like what Jason said: When encountering an enemy, strike first!
The tumbling air current hit the person in front of him, causing the other person's words to stop abruptly.
But what was truly terrifying was Arras' fist.
Because of its rapidity, it raised layers of phantom fists.
Originally, six people were supposed to surround Arras, but under such dense fists, it was as if they were surrounded by Arras.
"Automatic rifle. Continuous fire!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
Shouting from Arras' mouth, his fists became faster and stronger.
On the roof in the distance, a sniper finished the final adjustment.
He was going to target Arras.
Before taking action, they made a lot of plans and had their own assignments.
And him
It's the one that 'makes up the mistake'.
He didn't turn on the scope for the first time, let alone look at the target.
Breathe, breathe.
As an excellent sniper, the opponent adjusted himself.
Then-
click.
There was the sound of the neck being snapped.
"Really."
"I hate those of you who are hiding in the sidelines the most."
"He is a hero who saved the city, how could he be assassinated by a dagger in the shadows?"
"Delay me from playing games."
Recius muttered under his breath.
Then, he looked up to another place.
The gray-haired Sicott waved his hand at him at the second sniper point not far away, indicating that everything is fine.
When the two met downstairs, Kuya, who had solved the third sniper point, still had obvious anger on his face.
"What is 'Asylum' doing?"
"It's fine if you don't have reinforcements, why do you want to attack your own people?"
Kuya said angrily.
"It's not what the 'shelter' is doing, but what some people in the 'shelter' are doing!"
"Actually it's not just a 'shelter', we..."
"Ahem!"
"Let's leave now."
"It's not safe here."
Seacott interrupted Recius.
The grizzled member of the 'Holy Snake Society' didn't want Kuya to know too many dark and ghostly things, although these things have always existed.
Recius rolled his eyes.
But didn't say much.
He misses his game console.
It's better to go back quickly, so you don't have to stay here, and you don't have to think about those troublesome things.
The three walked forward quickly, looking at the ruins around them, Kuya couldn't help asking.
"You said Talon 13 would be fine?"
She hasn't seen 'Claw' 13 since her last 'date'.
And now the main battlefield in Ang City, facing those abnormalities is the 'Night Owl Court'.
She was very worried.
"Do not worry."
"Your guy doesn't..."
"Cough cough."
"The Talon 13 is very powerful, don't worry about it."
"We can all handle it. He is much stronger than me, so naturally there is no need to worry."
Recius coughed a few times and interrupted Seacott.
Now he and Seacott have confirmed that the 'Mask Man' should be the claw. NO13.
Director Harrow should know too.
But Haro didn't tell Kuya, obviously he had some thoughts.
They don't talk too much.
Even for the quiet life now.
After all, Harrow had far more say over his own daughter than they did.
I just hope Kuya doesn't find any clues.
Raytheus looked forward to it.
In fact, mentioning and praising Jason was too easy to divert Kuya's attention.
"of course!"
Kuya raised his head and strode forward.
What a lie!
Recius and Seacott looked at each other and exchanged information.
And soon, the gray-haired Seacott prayed in a low voice.
"Let's hope the club doesn't get destroyed."
"Hope the ladies I know are safe."
"Hope... everything will pass!"
Lei Xiusi glanced at his partner, but said nothing.
Everything will pass!
After all, this is the city of Ang that has been guarded by the 'Night Owl Court' for thousands of years.
There must be no problem!
He believed it.
…
Click, click!
Amid the sound of the elevator descending rapidly, Edmond had gradually adapted to the weakness.
He doesn't have super resilience.
It can only be adapted.
Fortunately, so far, he has adapted well.
Hope it will be the same for a while!
Ding!
The elevator reached the floor, and the moment the elevator door opened, Edmund heard—
'You not only eat my flesh, but also insult my IQ! '
'I want you to die without a place to bury you! '
Without hesitation, Edmond stopped it.
But, it's too late.
The moment his voice fell.
Squeak, squeak.
A toothache sound suddenly sounded.
The image of a door being pushed open appeared in everyone's mind.
It was a double door, old and slightly dilapidated, made of solid wood. The door frame and the lower half of the two doors were all wood of the same color. The small square wooden lattice should be inlaid with colorful glass, but at this time, it is gray and white.
It's not just the glass that's gray and white.
Even the double doors were grey.
It's like a black and white TV screen.
And now the lizard stood in front of the door.
It pushed open the double doors.
Then, it teleported away again.
And behind the door...
Groups of ferocious monsters appeared.
They seem to be carved out of the same mold, 1.8 meters high, with a vague human shape, and the whole body is pitch black.
As soon as they appeared, they swarmed towards the nearest Jason.
Facing the tide of monsters, Jason took a deep breath, and he felt the opening of some kind of power in his body.
There is only one possibility for the emergence of this force—
It's dawn!
