American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 432 Knowing one’s own warmth and coldness
The Iron-Blooded Elder knelt there blankly, as if he had been dumbfounded.

After a long while, Elder Ironblood finally came to his senses and punched Roy in the chest.

This seems to be the Predator clan expressing their gratitude; the Predator captain had made a similar gesture before.

Then, the Iron-Blooded Elder solemnly handed the spear to Roy and gave him something that looked like a medal.

"What is this?"

"This is a token of the Ironblood race. If you need help, you can press the button on it. It will emit a long cosmic wave, and an Ironblood ship that receives the signal will quickly come to your aid. However, this token can only be used once, so please use it with caution."

It turned out to be a one-time tool for summoning people, but it wasn't very useful for Roy.

Even if Roy can't handle the enemy, calling in the Predator won't make a difference.

We can't exactly call in the Predators to wipe out America's government and completely eliminate this global scourge, can we?

Hmm, this idea seems pretty good!
Why don't we take care of that one in the Middle East while we're at it?

In this way, there would be at least half fewer wars in the world!
This is something I can only think about; let's just consider it a memento.

The Predators quickly returned to their spaceship and left Earth.

At this point, Roy was finally able to accept his spoils.

The two duels lasted for more than ten minutes in total, but the Alien Queen remained motionless, lying on the ground panting.

Roy observed that the Alien Queen's body was covered in cracks, which emitted an abnormal red light and occasionally produced flames.

After a moment's thought, Roy guessed that hellfire might have entered the Alien Queen's body, constantly eroding her life force.

The fires of hell are not so easily extinguished. The Alien Queen may appear to be alive now, but sooner or later she will be burned to ashes by the hellfire due to exhaustion of her energy.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Sometimes being incredibly resilient isn't a good thing!"

Because of her tenacious vitality, the Alien Queen can only endure the burning sensation of hellfire inside her body until someone can end her suffering.

The Alien Queen is now looking at Roy with pleading eyes, as if begging him to end her suffering.

"Don't worry, I'll send you on your way right away!"

Roy took out the Leviathan Axe and raised it high. Only by killing legendary creatures with the Leviathan Axe could one obtain the rune; being burned to death by hellfire did not count.

The axe fell heavily, severing the alien queen's head.

[Ding! You have obtained the Alien Queen's Treasure Chest of Fate! Open it?]

[Leviathan's Axe has slain a legendary life form; you may choose a rune buff.]

After losing her brain, the alien queen's freak cells immediately went out of control, so Roy had no choice but to deal with the freak cells first, without even looking at the newly acquired runes.

In the end, most of the Alien Queen's body was burned to ashes by the hellfire, including the freak cells, leaving only an incredibly hard fan-shaped shell, which Roy added to his inventory as a collectible.

With this, the Alien vs. Predator incident and the Thing incident are considered to be completely over.

It was just dawn, and the rising sun in the east helped Roy determine his location. He then found the snowmobile left behind by Lucas Barnes and prepared to drive it back to McMurdo Station.

Unfortunately, Roy wasn't very lucky.

The snowmobile encountered a blizzard shortly after setting off; the climate change in Antarctica this year is indeed quite baffling.

To make matters worse, the snowmobile broke down due to the blizzard, and Roy had no skills to repair it, so he could only watch helplessly as the snowmobile became stranded.

At this point, Roy began to miss Bumblebee and Claudia.

If those two Cybertronians were here, Roy wouldn't be facing his current situation.

With no other option, Roy could only walk towards McMurdo Station. His teleportation skills were not yet proficient enough, and the error was too great to avoid mistakes, so he did not take the risk.

It's just a few more steps, it won't take long.

In the afternoon, Roy's luck improved, and he saw a helicopter fly by in the distance.

Seeing this, Roy quickly pulled out his Smith & Wesson M500 and fired it into the air. The sound of this revolver was very loud and could be heard several kilometers away.

Hearing the gunshots, the helicopters in the distance began to fly towards Roy.

A few minutes later, Roy realized that this was not an ordinary helicopter, but a military transport helicopter with Russian writing on it.

However, the military transport helicopter still lowered the rope ladder and pulled Roy up.

The transport helicopter carried a dozen burly soldiers and a beautiful blonde woman.

It was obvious that the blonde woman was the key figure on the transport helicopter.

The blonde woman's eyes lit up when she saw Roy, and she excitedly said something in Russian.

Unfortunately, Roy couldn't understand Russian, so he could only make Nick Young's classic facial expression.

After a moment, the blonde woman realized she should speak English, and then asked Roy in fluent English.

"Hello, are you Mr. Roy Black?"

Roy looked at the blonde woman with some curiosity, wondering if she knew him.

"Yes, I am Roy Black."

Upon hearing this, the blonde woman became even more agitated.

“Mr. Blake, I saw your performance at the Olympics! Oh, right! I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Anya Kozlov.”

Anya extended her hand to Roy, and Roy politely shook her hand.

The woman acted like a devoted fan, holding onto Roy's hand and refusing to let go, even though she looked to be several years older than Roy.

(Anya Kozlov, played by Milena Radulovic)

Some of the Russian soldiers were curious about why Anya was so excited. After Anya explained it to them in Russian, many of them immediately became like Anya.

Yes, Russia is also a boxing powerhouse, having produced many world boxing champions throughout history, and its military is a place that reveres strength.

Even those who had never watched Roy's matches showed admiration upon learning that he was an Olympic champion.

The interior of the military transport helicopter had turned into a fan meeting. After Roy signed autographs for everyone, he finally had time to ask Anya, the only one who spoke English, where the helicopter was going.

"Well, there are some things I can't say. I can only tell you that I'm a microbiology expert and I'm here to handle an infectious disease outbreak. But don't worry, once we reach our destination, the helicopter will return, and then you can have the pilot take you wherever you want to go."

Infectious disease event?
Roy suspected he had been caught up in another movie, otherwise such a beautiful scientist would be too unrealistic; she would only appear in movies.

However, Anya was on a mission for the Russian military, and it was already a kindness on their part that he was allowed to board the helicopter, so Roy didn't say anything and just sat there quietly.

Anya, on the other hand, always sidled up to Roy, asking him all sorts of questions and constantly trying to talk to him.

Roy didn't refuse; it was a wonderful thing to have a blonde beauty looking at him with adoration. The military transport helicopter flew for another two hours, arriving at its destination around 5 p.m.

This appears to be a Russian mine. Roy, after getting off the helicopter, saw a huge drilling rig standing tall.

Roy found it strange. Antarctica does indeed have abundant mineral and energy resources, but with current technology, drilling there would obviously be a losing proposition.

I don't even know how much the shipping costs will be!

Moreover, Russia has no shortage of mineral and energy resources, so is it necessary to drill a well in Russia?
After getting off the helicopter, Anya gave Roy a reminder.

“Mr. Black, this is a military restricted area, so you’d better not wander around. It’s better to stay near the helicopter.”

Roy nodded; he didn't actually mean to cause trouble.

However, often trouble finds you even when you don't want to.

A young man wearing glasses and sporting a mustache arrived at the helicopter landing pad to greet Anya. This young man seemed to be of high status, as he was accompanied by several soldiers.

The young man's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Anya. He quickly walked up to her and fussed over her, completely ignoring Roy standing next to her.

Yes, that's roughly the idea. Roy doesn't understand Russian, but judging from the young man's attitude, he's probably right.

Anya showed an impatient expression; clearly, the young man's greasy appearance disgusted her.

The two of them were talking in a hushed tone, and the young man got angry.

For some reason, Anya's conversation with the young man seemed to involve Roy, and then the young man inexplicably glared at Roy, which puzzled him greatly.

The two grew increasingly angry, and the young man began to shout, then suddenly ordered the soldiers behind him to arrest Roy.

"What do you want to do!"

Roy was no pushover; he easily defeated the charging soldiers with a few punches and kicks, leaving the young man utterly astonished.

Anya, who was standing nearby, quickly apologized.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Blake! Mikhail was one of my suitors, and I rejected him. It seems he’s taking his anger out on you.”

Roy was speechless. Being handsome is one of the downsides; you always seem to suffer unexpected misfortunes.

If Roy looked just like Gerald, Mikhail would never have held a grudge against him.

Gerald: Are you being polite?
"Anya, please translate for me. I'm just an ordinary American who got lost in Antarctica. I'll be leaving soon and don't want to cause any trouble."

Roy's current status as America's agent is rather complicated, especially since he is a FEA agent, which can be considered a secret agent.

If this identity is discovered, it could potentially become a diplomatic incident.

But Mikhail was clearly out of control and started shouting loudly in Russian. Anya panicked as soon as she heard him shouting.

"Mr. Black, you'd better get inside the transport helicopter! This guy says you're America's spy, and he's the second-in-command here. You're in grave danger!"

Upon hearing this, Roy was speechless.

To be able to serve as the second-in-command in such an important military region at such a young age, this guy is not only the second-in-command, but also a spoiled brat, right?
However, this kind of situation is common in any country; there's nothing new under the sun.

“I have a better idea.”

Roy stepped forward and knocked Mikhail to the ground with a powerful punch.

Just kidding, Roy is someone who's even fought the Demon King, how could he put up with this kind of bullshit?

Moreover, Roy had already been very lenient with him. This guy keeps causing trouble, he's completely disregarding him, and he needs to be taught a lesson.

Anya stared at Roy in shock, while Mikhail covered his face and widened his eyes, his expression seemingly saying:
"Even my dad has never hit me like this!"

"Anya, translate what I'm saying to him! I don't want trouble, but if anyone tries to cause me trouble, I'll send them to hell to cause trouble!"

"Huh? Mr. Black, such words..."

Anya hesitated for a moment, because the words were far too provocative.

"Translate it as I instructed!"

There was nothing Anya could do but try to soften her words to avoid further conflict.

Unfortunately, the effect was not good, because Roy was releasing murderous intent towards Mikhail, which scared the spoiled brat so much that he wet his pants on the spot.

Well, in a place like Antarctica, you definitely need to wear thick, warm down pants, so only Mikhail himself knew about wetting his pants.

It should be quite warm, right?

Perhaps this is what they call knowing one's own joys and sorrows.

At this moment, more Russian soldiers rushed over. Upon seeing Mikhailov at Roy's feet and other soldiers lying on the ground groaning, these Russian soldiers immediately picked up their guns and aimed them at Roy.

Anya spread her arms to block Roy and explained to him in Russian.

The soldiers certainly wouldn't listen to this explanation, but Anya was a microbiology expert specially invited by the base, so no soldier dared to shoot and harm her, and the two sides remained deadlocked.

A few minutes later, a white-haired man with a very dangerous hairstyle walked over, immediately ordered the soldiers to put down their guns, and then began to ask Anya what was going on.

After Anya finished explaining, the man glanced speechlessly at Mikhail on the ground. He knew Mikhail very well and knew that this was something the man was capable of doing.

Then the man spoke to Roy in English.

“Hello, my name is Grigoriev, and I am in charge here. Mr. Blake, I think this is all a misunderstanding, and I hope I can invite you into the base to sit down and clear things up.”

Grigoriev's attitude seemed quite good, so Roy took the opportunity to back down.

“Mr. Grigoriev, I just want to get back to McMurdo Station as soon as possible and don’t want to cause any trouble.”

Grigoriev adjusted his glasses.

“Mr. Blake, I understand your thinking. But the military transport plane needs to refuel, which will take some time. Why don't you come in and sit for a while?”

Since Grigoriev had said so, Roy decided to give him face.

"OK then."

Roy was then taken to a clean, empty room with nothing in it except a table and a chair, making it look like a detention cell.

However, the door was open, letting Roy know that he was not being imprisoned.

As for Anya, she was pulled away to work after exchanging only a few words with Roy.
