American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 343 Want to make progress too much

Roy initially thought it was reinforcements from the cabin arriving, until he saw the word "FEAR" painted on the carriage and realized that it was FEA that had finally arrived.

The scout got off the assault vehicle and greeted Roy.

Are you Mr. Roy Black?

This fully armed soldier wasn't actually mute; he just didn't like to talk.

"Yes, why are you so late?"

In fact, the vanguard and clone troops could have arrived at the villa much earlier, but the blizzard summoned by the King of Wendigo severely hampered the movement of the assault vehicles.

After the scout explained it to him, Roy understood.

After destroying the signal jamming equipment at the scene, Roy was finally able to re-establish contact with the outside world.

"Ms. Elise, are you already in Ravensfield?"

"Yes, I have already established a temporary command base in Ravensfield. How is the situation on your end?"

Roy looked at the corpses and dismembered limbs scattered around the villa and scratched his head.

"The problems have been mostly resolved, but the scene may look a bit messy."

It's not just somewhat ugly, it's extremely ugly!
In other words, the elite soldiers are FEAR's most elite soldiers, while everyone else is an emotionless clone. Ordinary FEAR members might not be able to accept this situation.

"I think I understand what you mean. There will be others soon—"

Before he could finish speaking, the people at the scene heard the sound of a helicopter in the distance.

Roy was a little surprised; the helicopter had arrived way too fast.

"Ms. Elise, I can hear the helicopter. You guys are really efficient!"

Elise on the other end of the phone was very surprised.

"What are you talking about? The FEA helicopters didn't even take off!"

Upon hearing this, Roy and the vanguard were both stunned. The satellite phone in his hand was on speakerphone, so everyone around could hear it.

If it wasn't a FEA helicopter, could it be...?

Roy reacted quickly.

"We're in trouble! Stay hidden!"

Roy immediately hid behind the walls of the Ashin family villa, his eyes fixed on the direction from which the helicopter's sound was coming.

Four helicopters were seen flying towards the villa, each carrying a container suspended by a steel cable.

The container was clearly not filled with anything of value, but the embarrassing thing was that the elite troops and the clone unit were not carrying individual rocket launchers; they only had firearms.

The mercenaries in the cabin all have heavy weapons, while regular government departments like FEAR don't, which is somewhat darkly humorous.

Fortunately, the scout had excellent eyesight and found a man-portable rocket launcher and several rockets among a pile of corpses and wreckage. He then found a concealed position to aim at the helicopter flying in from a distance.

This individual rocket launcher requires iron sights and cannot be automatically aimed, so the scout waited for a while and pressed the launch button when the four helicopters were about 200 meters away.

Whoosh!
The rockets, trailing a plume of smoke, flew toward the distant helicopter, after which the scouts quickly reloaded and continued firing.

This guy managed to switch to four rockets in just one minute, and launched them all.

Four explosions rang out in succession, with the first three rockets hitting their targets. It seemed that the scout had calculated the impact of each rocket explosion.

The last helicopter pilot, seeing the situation was dire, released the steel cable and fled, but this still couldn't escape the vanguard's rockets.

This guy is practically like he has a lock-on cheat; he can hit the enemy no matter how they try to escape.

Roy looked curiously at the fully armed soldier, whose skin was completely exposed. Could he also have a special ability similar to the Assassin's Heart?

Even if Roy had the heart of an assassin, it would be difficult for him to use a single-soldier rocket launcher in such a fancy way, because rockets are much larger than bullets, so they are more affected in the air, thus changing their trajectory.

At a distance of 200 meters, if the rocket deviates by even 1 centimeter when it leaves the individual rocket launcher, the final result could be that it misses the helicopter by a hair's breadth.

Bang!

The container fell to the ground with a loud bang, and due to this incorrect landing method, it broke apart, revealing its contents.

Inside was a large box with a very futuristic design, which looked like some kind of freezer.

Just as Roy and the scouts were wondering what was going on, the box slowly opened, releasing a large amount of white vapor.

Everyone present saw a burly man with a bare upper body and bulging muscles inside the large box.

What's rather strange is that this guy has a chainsaw in his right hand and a classic double-barreled shotgun in his left, and his skin is gray.

(This is roughly the image; it's difficult to capture a screenshot from the movie, so I can only use the poster.)
I wonder if it's because it's been frozen for too long and has turned into zombie meat?
However, Roy recognized the popsicle as Ash, the protagonist of the classic cult film series "Evil Dead".
That chainsaw man is absolutely iconic!

This film series is extremely cult, especially the second and third installments, which greatly shocked Roy in his previous life.

Because it was so classic, it was remade more than 20 years later, and a spin-off American TV series was also created.

Incidentally, the first three films in this movie series were directed by Sam Raimi. Because he was extremely good at controlling costs and completed the three Evil Dead movies with very low production budgets, he got the opportunity to direct the Spider-Man movie around 2000.

That's right, it's Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man.

After the freezer was opened, Ash quickly began to defrost. Only then did Roy realize that the other person's skin was indeed gray, and not because of the freezing.

When Ash opened his eyes, everyone's heart began to pound violently, like a drumbeat from ancient times, giving them a strong feeling of palpitation.

Even Ella, a doll with a wooden heart, is no exception.

At the same time, the Death Eye hanging around Roy's neck began to flash, as if sending some kind of signal.

Roy had never seen anything like this before.

Something is wrong, this is very wrong!
Ash's gray eyes looked in Roy's direction. These eyes were completely gray, unlike Roy's eyes when he was in his Naphiri form. Roy's pupils were gray, but the whites of his eyes were still white.

The next second, Ash charged toward Roy with unstoppable momentum, cracking the ground beneath his feet.

The guy was getting faster and faster, and when he was less than 50 meters away from Roy, he broke the sound barrier and made a piercing explosion.

At this moment, Roy was locked in by a powerful aura, as if he were wearing heavy shackles, making it very difficult for him to move. He could only use the executioner's knife to block the attack.

Ding!
The sharp sound of metal clashing against metal even caused severe tinnitus in those nearby. Roy, overwhelmed by Ash's unparalleled strength, was sent flying, crashing through the villa's wall and into the house. Ella watched this scene in horror. Roy's fighting power was already terrifying in her eyes, but this gray-haired man before her was even more frightening.

Roy was equally shocked. He already had a strength of 81 and a physique of 93, yet he lost when he went head-to-head with an opponent of the same size.
What a joke!
The last person to be able to do this was the Wrathful King, who descended with fifty percent of his power!

Could it be that Ash is currently possessed by some powerful being?
On the other side, after witnessing Ash's terrifying power, the vanguard immediately ordered the clone troop to open fire and contacted Ravensfall via headset.

"Ms. Elise, a powerful enemy has been detected. Mr. Black has been suppressed!"

"What is the specific situation?"

The scouts saw the clone's bullets hitting Ash and falling off in a clattering sound, completely unable to stop the enemy.

"The enemy possesses terrifying strength and extremely strong defense; bullets are completely ineffective!"

Upon hearing this, Elise was very surprised, as she was well aware of Roy's strength.

In terms of physical attributes alone, Elise, Uriel's human form, is no match for Roy now.

It's unbelievable that the current enemy can overpower Roy in terms of strength.

"Spearman, hold off the enemy for as long as possible, I'll be there soon!"

"Roger that!"

After the call ended, the scout saw the clone army that was blocking Ash's operation being easily cut into pieces, and the bloody scene made Ella's legs go weak.

Since the clone army's firearms were ineffective, the scout's own guns were probably useless as well, so the scout began searching for rockets on the ground again.

Fortunately, as long as he doesn't attack Ash, this guy's target will be Roy, ignoring everyone else.

Therefore, the scouts still have some time to collect the rockets.

Meanwhile, Mr. R was watching this exciting battle from the mountains.

"Heh, I didn't expect FEA to be here too. That's perfect, I can settle the score with FEA over Crystal Lake Base!"

The Crystal Lake incident can be considered the biggest Waterloo in Mr. R's career, which caused the organization to lose a research base worth tens of billions of dollars, as well as invaluable research data and research subjects.

Currently, the special entity has only been found at the bottom of Crystal Lake, and the Seed of Tranquility can only be produced in Crystal Lake; it cannot be found anywhere else.

This means that some Seeds of Silence were also stored in other locations within the cabin, which allowed the Ironhook Man to provide the Seeds of Silence to the Mary Shaw doll.

This led to Mr. R being questioned by the board of directors of the cabin organization and almost being dealt with internally.

The internal competition within organizations like the Cabin is extremely brutal. The people in the Cabin are ruthless not only to outsiders but also to their own people.

In other words, researchers are treated relatively well, while administrative staff like Mr. R are also walking a tightrope.

They may seem to have great power, but in reality, they cannot afford to make the slightest mistake, or they will be punished internally.

Fortunately, before being suspended by the Cabin Council, Mr. R personally led a team to capture the man who had just been released, thus regaining the council's trust.

Amella had moved from the passenger seat to the back seat and snuggled intimately against Mr. R, her ample breasts pressing against his shoulders, creating an astonishing sense of pressure.

"Mr. R, just who is this guy?"

Mr. R glanced at Amera, whose face was full of curiosity.

"Didn't I remind you what you can and can't see? What you can and can't say!"

Emera realized she had said the wrong thing again and quickly bowed her head to apologize, which inadvertently revealed her deep cleavage.

"I'm sorry, Mr. R!"

Amella: I really want to improve!

Seeing Amelia's fair and delicate cleavage, Mr. R's gaze softened slightly. After all, wanting to improve oneself wasn't a big deal, so he offered an explanation.

“It doesn’t matter if I tell you, since this man will be one of my key projects in the future, and you’ll also have access to related information. His name is Ash, project codename Grey Knight, and I found him in a mental hospital in Minnesota. This guy claims that he traveled to ancient times, then to the apocalypse, and finally back to the present.”

Amera found it very interesting.

"is this real?"

"It's true. This 'Book of the Dead' was obtained from Ash. The organization's mental health experts conducted multiple examinations on Ash and found that he had no mental illness and no signs of lying."

Amera's eyes widened.

"So, this guy really did travel through time?"

Mr. R smiled and nodded.

"Yes, after examination by physicists, historians and philosophers within the organization, this guy has most likely traveled to a parallel universe."

(The ending of the director's cut of Evil Dead 3)

"Parallel universes? Like the parallel universes in 'Back to the Future Part II'?"

The concept of parallel universes was actually explored in the 1989 science fiction film Back to the Future Part II, and Emera, who had seen the movie, had some understanding of the concept of parallel universes.

"Yes, that's it."

Hearing this, Emera became even more curious.

"Then how did he end up like this?"

"Ash was the first person we discovered to have completed time travel. In order to understand whether time travel would have any effects on the body, the organization's scientists conducted a series of tests on his body. During one test, a gray power suddenly surged from his body, causing massive destruction and nearly leading to the complete annihilation of the base in Minnesota!"
Fortunately, the organization's liquid nitrogen freezing technology was very advanced, and it took a large amount of liquid nitrogen to freeze him. Originally, I planned to build a secret testing ground in the Rocky Mountains to test this guy's limits, but I didn't expect to encounter such a good testing subject as Roy Black.

Mr. R's expression was one of undisguised smugness, clearly indicating his great satisfaction with his brilliant idea.

At this moment, Emera also understood and expressed her admiration for Mr. R.

"Mr. R, you are absolutely amazing!"

Mr. R's mood grew increasingly pleasant. While his blonde secretary, Emera, was indeed not as capable as Erica, she provided a great deal of emotional support.

This is also a case of there being gains and losses.

However, just as Mr. R was feeling smug, the screen on his laptop changed again.
