Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 417 An unexpected gain

Chapter 417 An unexpected gain

Driven by anger, Shanying entered a very tense state. He moved through the shadows everywhere, trying his best to collect various evidences.

The total number of people inside the entire laboratory, including researchers, armed personnel, and people being experimented on, exceeded 300.

This is just the upper level. Inside the largest space of the mountain, there are more than a hundred training camps and security guards. They need to control those ferocious beasts and maintain the smooth operation of power generation equipment.

When the mountain eagle entered the lower space, it did not expect that there were geothermal resources inside the mountain, so that the temperature inside was 5 to 8 degrees higher than that outside.

At the same time, on the inner side of the mountain, a large amount of melted snow water flowed down from above along the cracks, then gathered in the low-lying areas on the ground and flowed into an underground river leading to the wetland swamp.

With the assistance of Golden Cicada, Mountain Eagle can move freely in dim areas. He can always avoid danger in advance and bypass areas that may attract attention.

He walked around the huge mountain space and took a lot of video evidence...

Those beasts that looked extremely strong and powerful appeared unusually weak when in cages.

The rash genetic modification without any targeted training or medication resulted in serious imbalance in the bodies of these powerful monsters.

The body's energy cannot meet the needs of large muscles, the bones cannot fully support the reaction force generated by the powerful force brought by the huge muscles, and the pressure on the visceral blood vessels is too high, which makes it difficult for them to maintain a high-energy state.

In other words, the temperature in the cave is quite suitable, and they don't need to burn fat to drive those terrible muscles, otherwise they would not be able to hold on for too long.

The mountain eagle only circled once, and saw with its own eyes the monstrous Siberian tiger from the morning howling in pain, and then died of heart failure in the cage.

The tiger's death attracted the attention of the guards. Before they came to check, Mountain Eagle walked to the entrance of the dark river following the shadow of the wall.

The so-called entrance to the underground river is a pool of water with an area of about 100 square meters. In the center of the pool is a large drain outlet, and a large amount of melted snow water flows into the underground river through the entrance.

The transmission speed and distance of ultrasound in water are much stronger than in the air. When Mountain Eagle focused the detection direction of the Golden Cicada to the bottom of the pool, a winding underground space soon appeared on the tactical glasses.

By comparing the direction and altitude, Mountain Eagle quickly determined that this underground river led to the wetland swamp on the west side.

Originally, Mountain Eagle just wanted to use the noise of the underground river and the strange rocks around to hide his tracks, and by the way, explore the direction of the underground river to see if it was possible to find a more secret passage to facilitate his entry again in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that he actually found a large amount of gold at the bottom of the pool...

It is not the so-called gold sand or gold mine, but a large pool of gold like molten volcanic lava.

A mountain eagle may mistake any metal, but it will never mistake gold.

Because the Master Chief System needs a large amount of gold with a purity of more than 70% to light up enough equipment, Mountain Eagle has a natural sensitivity to the color and even the feeling of gold.

The moment he found the gold, Shanying was not ecstatic, because the women and children in the upper class caused him to have a severe psychological fluctuation...

Now the sudden appearance of gold made Shanying feel that this was a reminder for him not to forget his previous promise to the child.

Because gold represents power to him!

The greatest meaning of power is to protect and fight against the malice in this world!
Just when the mountain eagle was attracted by the gold, a childish scream suddenly came from not far away...

"what……"

A child wearing a light blue hospital gown and with fluffy hair jumped out from the back door of a cage that held a wolf cub. He nimbly dodged the blockade of several guards, but was eventually knocked to the ground by an electric baton extended from the side...

The high voltage electric shock made the child scream in pain...

The violent guard impatiently rushed forward and grabbed the child by the collar and pulled him up, but the child bit him hard on the wrist.

"what……"

The violent guard loosened his hands in pain and slapped the child hard, causing the child to fall to the side with blood oozing from the mouth and nose.

Then the guy picked up the high-voltage electric baton and wanted to hit the kid again...

As a result, the child rolled on the ground for several times, dodging the electric baton's attack, and then jumped up and rushed to the side of a cage, pushing open the latch of the cage amid the roars of fear from the crowd...

The weak mountain lion in the cage jumped out the moment the cage was opened, knocked down the guard holding the electric baton, and slit his throat amid the screams of the crowd.

Amidst the splatter of blood, the child screamed and ran towards the water pool. But as for whether the mountain lion thought children tasted better or was afraid of the guns in the guards' hands, it bit the guard to death and then used all its limbs to pounce towards the child.

Eagle looked at the guards not far away who were raising their rifles. He sighed, rushed out, grabbed the child, held him in his arms, squatted on the ground, and used his back as a shield to block the fatal bullet.

The bulletproof performance of the flexible armor is sufficient, but the impact still causes the Mountain Eagle to lose some balance involuntarily.

Just as he was about to roll over to find cover, the mountain lion that was chasing him was shot and fell over. As it rolled forward by inertia, it wailed and grabbed the hem of the white coat on the mountain eagle...

"FUCK..."

The mountain eagle felt a huge force, and its already unbalanced body involuntarily fell forward into the pool.

The moment he entered the water, the mountain eagle felt a strong suction force, which made him involuntarily follow the water flow, draw an arc in the pool and quickly go down.

It was impossible to float up at this time. Shanying calmly took out two small respirators, put one into the mouth of the unfortunate child, and put the other into his own mouth...

Then he held the child tightly and quickly went down along with the force of the water...

The moment he reached the bottom of the pool, Shanying reached out and grabbed the edge of the huge piece of gold. The Master Chief System was instantly activated, absorbing a large piece of gold with a diameter of more than two meters that was covering the bottom of the pool like a pot lid. Then he was sucked into the vortex with peace of mind.

The moment he entered the whirlpool, Shanying felt the impact from all directions... He curled up into a ball with his hands holding the child, tumbling in the water for nearly 300 meters and entering a semi-open waterway...

Then he slid down quickly for a hundred meters as if he was riding a water slide, and finally felt his body suddenly float into the air.

At this time, the mountain eagle and the child in its arms screamed together, flew a distance of more than ten meters, and fell heavily into an underground river more than ten meters below.

There was a loud bang...

The mountain eagle, holding the child in its arms, fell sideways into the water!

Even with the flexible exoskeleton and flexible armor to mitigate the impact, Shanying still felt his head buzzing, and he drifted along the underground river for a distance in a daze. Finally, relying on his survival instinct, he grabbed the rocks on the river bank and struggled to climb up the damp and cold river bank.

He leaned against the cold stone wall and took two deep breaths, then quickly checked the child in his arms...

The child fainted. His originally fluffy hair now hung on his face like noodles, and his little face turned purple due to the cold.

Fortunately, with the help of a respirator, he did not drown...

Shanying gently took the respirator out of the child's mouth, then took off his clothes. When he wanted to dry him and keep him warm, he discovered that this wild child was actually a girl...

Shanying is almost 30 years old and doesn't care about the gender of the child...

He took out a warm cloth and wiped the child's body dry, then tore off a piece of self-heating flexible patch from his chest and stuck it on the child's chest, then wrapped her in a thick thermal suit.

After doing all this, he let out a long sigh, and then sat down on the wet ground with his body somewhat limp...

The Master Chief System can provide most of the survival supplies except food...

Shanying took out a high-power flashlight and illuminated the surrounding space.

They were in an underground crack, with the mountain walls on both sides reflecting crystal light. Clusters of high-quality amethyst grew on the mountain walls like crops.

The freezing cold meltwater rushed westward along the 5-meter-wide underground river, and the gravel at the bottom occasionally reflected the gleam of golden sand.

On both sides of the cold and damp riverbank, there were many dead bodies...

Among them were corpses of humans as well as those of wild animals.

The body of the mountain lion that caused the mountain eagle to fall into the pool was not far away from him. Because it was unable to adjust its body when paddling out of the waterway, the mountain lion crashed into the side of the mountain wall, smashing two clusters of amethyst, and then fell heavily to the ground and died.

Shanying walked over and picked up a few pieces of crystal to take a look. The amethyst was extremely transparent and had very few impurities. Under the illumination of the flashlight, the cast purple light scattered on the ground, and it actually felt like it was flowing naturally.

Putting the crystal into his pocket, Shanying took the time to check the bodies on the river bank...

There are bears, lions, wolves...

There were also a dozen or so completely rotted and shriveled corpses covered in animal skins, and several corpses wearing the same uniforms as the security guards mentioned above.

Those animals were probably just like the mountain lion, suddenly going crazy and rushing into the pool in a panic and being sucked in.

Those security guards who died may have coveted the gold under the water, or may have accidentally fallen into the water, but in any case, they are already dead.

Mountain Eagle didn't know the origins of those corpses covered in animal skins. He could only imagine that perhaps the legends about gold in Alaska really existed.

Because the gold at the bottom of the pool, with a purity of more than 70%, theoretically could not have been naturally generated. It is very likely that it was artificially refined and then poured into the pool for hiding.

Shanying no longer cares what the truth is, because the gold that the Master Chief system has swallowed cannot be spit out.

Just now, after the system was purified, Shanying harvested 103.3 kilograms of gold...

Combined with the gold that Shanying had saved before, his gold reserves have exceeded the 130 kilogram mark. Many projects that he didn't dare to touch in the past have begun to beckon him...

For example, various types of individual missiles, suicide drones, individual armed vehicles, and the most important individual intelligent tactical core for Mountain Eagle, which is the upgraded version of the Telos system with its own intelligent server...

Only by lighting up the intelligent tactical core can we integrate all equipment capabilities and use intelligence to fully stimulate the interactivity between these equipment and people.

With the increase of Shanying's intelligent equipment, it became difficult for him alone to smoothly control so many unmanned equipment and take care of the entire scene in a fierce battle.

The individual intelligent tactical core can completely change this situation!
For example, once the tactical core is activated and possessed, the Mountain Eagle no longer has to distract itself with controlling the Crow and the Cicada, as well as semi-intelligent weapons like the Sunset Mountain Sentry Machine Gun.

The intelligent core can fully perceive the outside world through crows and cicadas, and then give suggestions or complete tasks according to the needs of the user.

Once you have an intelligent tactical core and produce enough intelligent weapons, it is absolutely true that one person can become a tactical strike unit with the ability to make the final decision.

The only bad thing is that it costs 100 kilograms of gold to light this thing up, and this is the discounted price for all projects after the Master Chief System absorbed the 'plutonium'.

Before coming into contact with 'plutonium', Shanying didn't even dare to hope to light up this thing.

But now that I have the chance, I will definitely take it without hesitation...

Just as Shanying lit up the individual intelligent tactical system and began to order the sergeant to create the system, a scream came from behind...

Turning around and looking at the little girl who woke up from her coma and sat on the ground screaming loudly, Shanying quickly ran over and hugged the little girl in his arms. While gently patting her back, he said gently: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are safe, we are safe..."

The little girl gradually calmed down. She lay on the Eagle's shoulder and smelled his scent, then whispered, "I want to eat candy..."
