Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 815: Team Brain

Dawn took a deep breath, but the cold wind from the north made him mistakenly think that he had swallowed a ball of flame. His chest burned like this. This state made him very impatient, impatient, and eager to see fresh blood and corpses. Such a scene would help vent the flames in his heart. The more extreme a person's emotions were, the more he would be unable to maintain his composure and calm. Even though Dawn was able to control his emotions at first, after three days, he couldn't keep his emotions stable if his goal appeared in the direction of the team.

Rice's condition wasn't much better than his. Although he still looked quite quiet, the constantly changing expression in his eyes showed that his emotions were becoming very unstable.

In these three days, Dill found many clues. They had once touched the temporary camp where Allen had stayed. The campfire had not yet been extinguished, and it looked like it was not far away. This made Rice very excited, and he desperately chased after the clues. However, the truth was that Alan had deliberately set up the suspicion formation. Rice rushed over and lost all clues.

That drove Rice crazy and ruthlessly slaughtered a nearby nest of dangerous creatures. Dill found his boss amidst the corpses and blood. From that moment on, the smile on Rice's face disappeared. He only wanted to find Allen now, and he had even forgotten that there might be something in Allen that could reverse the collapse of the gene. Rice only wanted to kill that cunning young master of the noble family, so that he could end this journey as soon as possible, which seemed to be getting more and more unpleasant.

Rice and Donne were still in this state, and their subordinates were in even worse spirits. The bald woman, Maria, now had the chance to have a frenzied affair with the men accompanying her, but the pleasure that usually helped her recover her mood, now made her impatient. After breaking a sergeant's neck at the height of her rage yesterday, Donne had no choice but to stop her from continuing this madness.

Maria could barely restrain herself, but judging from her bloodshot eyes, everyone knew that her chest was filled with killing intent.

Right now, only Dill was as cold as ever, still mechanically searching for clues, classifying them, assessing them, and gradually approaching Allen. Dill could feel that they were getting closer and closer to Alan. When it really happened, Dill believed that it would be a bloody storm.

After all, these people in the team had been suppressed for a long time and needed to vent their anger.

"Almost there."

Alan said as he drilled into the cave. The gazes of several people in the cave fell on him. Hubble stood up and said in a thunderous voice, "I've been waiting for you for too long. If you want me to say it, just go straight up and do it. Why bother circling around these bowels?"

Belmond smiled faintly and said, "You think it's too simple. If we hadn't gone around them for a few days, do you think we would have had time to observe them?"

Laura and Talikova looked at each other and did not comment. Alan walked over and gave a dry cough, pulling everyone's attention onto him. He squatted down, picked up some stones and put them on the ground. Two of the stones were the largest and also at the forefront, he said. "We are now certain that there are two strong men in each other's midst," he said. It seemed that they didn't have a superior-subordinate relationship with each other, and it was more like a kind of cooperation that wasn't very tacit. Consider them two different teams. One of them is a tall bald man, the other is shorter, but it gives me the most dangerous feeling. "

"Next is their subordinate." Alan sprinkled a smaller stone behind the two large stones and divided it into two groups, each with seven or eight stones. He picked out one from each of the two sets of stones and said, "Apart from the leader, they all have a noteworthy fellow under them." The two of them were a man and a woman, and the woman was also a bald person, roughly equivalent to a lieutenant. The other man was the one who attacked Laura that night. He matched Belmond's description and had a sniper rifle on him. Of these people, he is the one we need to get rid of first. "

Hubble said in a muffled voice, "Isn't it better to kill the two leaders first?"

"No, first of all, the other party has more people than us. Moreover, there are several professionals among them. If they cooperate with each other, there will be no way for us to hide our whereabouts." Allen analyzed, "In addition, although the two strong men are leaders, they do not interfere with each other's actions." On the contrary, it was the sniper. He had integrated the two teams and was quite good at reconnaissance and command. Such a person undoubtedly played the role of the team's brain. In the end, he was the only sniper in the two teams, with dirty bombs on his body. To be honest, if anyone gets shot again, I may not be able to save them. "

Alan tapped on one of the stones, "So this fellow must be removed first."

He then looked at Laura and said, "It's very difficult for the three of us to do this alone, especially when the other party has the advantage of numbers. So I need to borrow your strength."

Laura blinked and said, "I'm fine."

Then she stabbed Talikova with a conflicted look on her face and finally said, "For now, they're more hateful than you. Alright, just this once. Tell us what we need to do."

"To be exact, I intend to let you work with Belmond." Alan said casually.

Talikova's expression darkened. Obviously, she was not happy to move with humans.

At dusk, Rice stepped on a high ground. From here, it seemed that the endless mountain range had reached its end. Advancing another two hundred kilometers to the north, the mountain peaks gradually lowered and the terrain tended to be flat. From afar, he could see vast and desolate plains. Rice knew about this plain, which was marked "Withered Wilderness" on the map of the Federation.

The withered wasteland was a region bordering the Silverwind Continent. The shape of this wasteland was wide in front and narrow in back. The narrowed land ended up bridging the storm cliffs of the Silverwind Continent, where the Adahua Planet built a fortress to defend. There were several dangerous places in the wilderness, of which Twilight Valley was definitely the most dangerous.

For some reason, Twilight Valley's magnetic field was extremely chaotic, causing the Origin Energy in this area to become violent and dangerous. Light ribbons that looked like northern auroras could be seen everywhere in the valley, but these seemingly beautiful light ribbons were actually the scythe of death. They are made up of abnormally violent Origin Energy, cutting through anything that comes close to them. What was fatal was that these ribbons of light weren't fixed at a certain location, they were completely random combinations of Origin Energy.

Because these light ribbons were pale yellow, from afar, they looked like the setting sun's Yongmu Valley, which was why Twilight Valley got its name.

Seeing that he was close to the edge of the mountain, Rice became even more impatient. He knew very well that regardless of whether Alan had fled to the Silverwind Continent, he would eventually be taken in by the alien star fortress on the storm cliff. Or if he accidentally crashed into Twilight Valley, it would be extremely difficult for him to continue chasing after him, let alone hand over the task. Of course, if forcing Alan into Twilight Valley was the same as killing him, then Shrek's stubborn general would definitely not agree to this.

Unless the general saw Alan's corpse, he would only think that Rice's operation had failed.

Ever since Rice became the general's butcher, he had no record of failure. He snorted. If that was the case, he would rather die than carry such a stain on his back. '"Colonel Rice, I've found something." Dill's voice sounded in his headset.

Rice's eyes lit up.

Three minutes later, he and Dawn were standing on a low-lying ground, where the corpses of two stingers remained. The corpse had its limbs removed, as well as the fatty parts of its body. Rice examined the corpse carefully. The technique used on the corpse this time was very rough. It was completely different from the skeletons he saw that night.

"There are traces left here …" Dill walked around and said, "They're in a hurry. They haven't even been properly disposed of. Also, judging from the limbs and other parts they've taken, they're short of food. Perhaps we're going to push them to the brink of extinction."

"Then work harder!" Rice's eyes were bloodshot, making him look crazy, "I don't want to wait any longer, Dill. Find those guys, now! Now! I'm going to tear them up and use their blood as an appetizer for dinner!"

Before Dill could answer, the same voice sounded in everyone's headphones, "I found them. They're right there … Ah!"

The final sound turned into a miserable scream. At the same time, a corresponding tragic cry sounded not far away. Without much thought, Les flashed out. Dawn cursed angrily and rushed out with Maria. Dill frowned and shouted, "Just a moment, Colonel."

But how could Les listen? A crazy smile appeared on his face, and he continuously licked his dry lips with his tongue. He could feel that the fire in his chest was burning even more intensely, and even his muscles were trembling slightly. Rice was very clear about this state. At this moment, what he longed for the most was to hear the sound of blood spraying out of his body. Every time he heard this voice, he would be incomparably excited.

It was a heavenly sound that was even more beautiful than any other piece of music!

In less than a minute, Les pounced on a high slope. One of his sergeants was lying on the ground covered in blood, and two figures were hastily leaving not far from him. This was the first time he was so close to his target. Although the number of opponents was small, how could Rice care so much? Immediately, he screamed and pounced down from the high slope. As soon as his voice rang out, the two of them suddenly accelerated.

Rice sneered. He wasn't very good at speed. However, he had the strength of a major general after all. If he used all of his strength, he wouldn't be able to slow down even if he sprinted for a short distance. Instantly, Rice turned into a faint shadow, constantly shortening the distance between the two sides. Seeing this, Down could only sigh. He was even less skilled at speed than Rice. Moreover, his strength was a few levels weaker. Naturally, he had no hope of competing with Rice for prey in such a situation.
