#2522 - Eye of God
Fan Tianlei frowned, his eyes flashing with coldness, "I don't know either, but one thing is certain, these people are definitely not ordinary terrorists, they are well-trained, well-equipped, and they know everything about our Langya. They are very likely special forces from foreign forces!"
"Foreign forces? What are their goals?" Wang Yanbing asked.
"What else could it be? Of course it's the secret of our Langya!" Fan Tianlei said in a cold tone, "This time the arsenal was robbed and the losses were heavy. If those weapons and equipment fall into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Damn it, these bastards, I'm going to skin them alive!" Li Erniu was furious and wanted to rush out and fight the enemy to the death.
Qin Yuan calmly analyzed the current situation. He knew that now was not the time to act impulsively. "Lao Fan, what should we do now?"
"The most urgent thing is to get in touch with the headquarters and report the situation here." Fan Tianlei said as he took out the satellite phone from his tactical vest, only to find that the signal had been blocked.
"Damn it!" Fan Tianlei cursed and threw the satellite phone to the ground.
"What should we do now? We are trapped here!" Li Erniu said anxiously.
"Why are you panicking? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up!" Wang Yanbing glared at Li Erniu, "What kind of team are we, the Red Blood Cells? Are we afraid of these bastards?"
Qin Yuan didn't say anything, but he knew that this time the opponent should not be underestimated. Not only did they have powerful firepower, but they were also very familiar with the terrain and environment. This dense forest was more like a natural hunting ground for them.
"Old Fan, we have to find a way to break out. We can't just sit there and wait to die!" Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
Fan Tianlei nodded, "You are right, we cannot passively defend, we must take the initiative to attack and disrupt their deployment!"
"How do we fight? Just give the orders!" Wang Yanbing was ready to try.
Fan Tianlei looked around and pointed to a mountain not far away and said, "Do you see that mountain? It is the commanding height of this area. As long as we can seize it, we can take the initiative!"
"Okay, then what are we waiting for? Charge!" Wang Yanbing said, and was about to rush forward with his gun raised.
Qin Yuan sneered, "Since they want to play hide-and-seek with us, then we will play with them!"
…
Thick smoke filled the woods, choking people so that they couldn't open their eyes. Qin Yuan and his four companions took advantage of the smoke to quietly move towards the mountain.
"Cough cough cough...Damn, this smoke bomb is too choking!" Wang Yanbing complained while coughing.
"Shut up! Do you want to attract the enemy here?" Fan Tianlei scolded in a low voice.
Wang Yanbing quickly covered his mouth and dared not speak anymore.
The four of them moved forward cautiously. Suddenly, Qin Yuan felt as if he stepped on something soft and a little elastic.
He bent down and gently pushed aside the fallen leaves on the ground. In the dim light, a creepy thing came into view...
Qin Yuan bent down and in the dim light saw a pale arm exposed under the fallen leaves, with its fingers stiffly bent as if trying to grab something.
“What the hell!” Wang Yanbing exclaimed, almost jumping up, “What the hell is this!”
"Don't make a sound!" Qin Yuan shouted, signaling others to be alert. He carefully pulled away more fallen leaves, and a long-rotten corpse appeared in front of everyone.
The corpse was wearing camouflage uniforms and had the same equipment as them, and was obviously a warrior of their Langya.
"It's Lao Zhang!" Fan Tianlei recognized the body at a glance, "The platoon leader of the 3rd Battalion, he drank with me during the last exercise..." His voice was a little choked, and his eyes were full of grief.
"Damn, these beasts!" Li Erniu said with red eyes and gritted teeth, "I'm going to fight them!"
"Calm down!" Qin Yuan said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to act on impulse. We must find out what happened."
Qin Yuan carefully examined the body and found that there were no gunshot wounds on Lao Zhang's body. The fatal wound was on the neck, with a deep mark that was shocking.
"He was attacked from behind and strangled to death." Qin Yuan stood up with a gloomy face, "It seems that there are experts among the enemies. We must be more careful!"
"Expert? How good can he be? I'll kill him with one shot!" Wang Yanbing said as he was about to pull the bolt.
"Can you calm down?" Fan Tianlei held down Wang Yanbing's gun. "Have you forgotten how Lao Zhang died? Be careful not to get into trouble!"
Wang Yanbing reluctantly put down the gun, but his eyes were still full of anger.
Qin Yuan ignored them and looked up towards the mountain with a gleam in his eyes. "Old Fan, let's keep going. I want to see what tricks these guys are playing!"
…
After several hours of arduous trekking, Qin Yuan and his four companions finally reached the top of the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain, one can overlook the entire forest with a broad view. However, Qin Yuan had no intention of appreciating the scenery. His eyes scanned the surroundings sharply, looking for traces of the enemy.
"Strange, why is there no one here?" Wang Yanbing asked doubtfully, "Did they retreat?"
"Impossible!" Fan Tianlei denied Wang Yanbing's guess. "This forest is our training base. They can't be more familiar with the terrain than we are. Moreover, they took great pains to lead us here. They must have their own purpose."
"Then what exactly do they want to do?" Li Erniu scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Qin Yuan didn't say anything. He walked to a rock and gently stroked the surface of the rock with his hand, as if he was feeling something.
"This rock..." Qin Yuan frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Fan Tianlei asked.
Qin Yuan did not answer, but took out a military dagger from his tactical vest and slashed it hard towards the rock surface.
“clang!”
There was a sharp sound of metal friction and sparks flew, but the rock surface remained intact.
"This..." Wang Yanbing's eyes widened in disbelief. "What the hell is this? It's so hard!"
Qin Yuan ignored Wang Yanbing and continued to cut the rock with force. As time passed, a crack finally appeared on the surface of the rock.
The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and finally, a huge piece of rock was cut off by Qin Yuan, revealing the scene inside the rock.
“What…what is this?”
When they saw what was inside the rock, Fan Tianlei and the others were stunned, their faces turned extremely ugly...
The inside of the rock cut by Qin Yuan was actually inlaid with densely packed electronic components, flashing a faint blue light, like a cold electronic eye, staring at the sky.
"What the hell is this?!" Wang Yanbing exclaimed. This weird scene was so eerie that even though he was a tough guy, he still felt a chill down his spine.
"It looks like some kind of signal transmitter..." He Chenguang frowned, his eyes flashing with sharp light behind the lenses, "Could it be that our every move is under the enemy's surveillance?"
Fan Tianlei's face turned pale, and he punched the rock with a muffled sound. "Damn it, I knew these guys had bad intentions! What on earth do they want to do?!"
Qin Yuan didn't say anything. He reached out and touched the cold electronic component. A strange energy wave instantly spread throughout his body. It was as if a thunder exploded in his mind, and countless fragmented information poured in frantically.
"Qin Yuan! What's wrong with you?!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Qin Yuan heard the anxious cries of his comrades, but he seemed to be out of the matter. His consciousness was struggling in chaos, and the fragmented information gradually pieced together to form an incredible memory.
…
"Report! All indicators of subject 001 are normal. Request to proceed to the next step of the experiment!"
"Approved to proceed to the next experiment! Remember, the integrity of the experimental data must be ensured!"
In the cold laboratory, a man with tubes inserted all over his body was fixed on the operating table. His eyes were closed and his chest rose and fell rhythmically with the instruments, like a body without a soul.
"Begin the consciousness connection experiment! Target - Wolf Fang Special Operations Brigade, Qin Yuan!"
As the cold mechanical sound rang out, the man suddenly opened his eyes. A strange red light flashed in his eyes. The corners of his mouth raised a strange arc, and he murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Finally... I found you..."
…
"Qin Yuan! Qin Yuan!"
The violent shaking pulled Qin Yuan back from the chaos. He opened his eyes and saw the anxious and worried expressions of his comrades.
"I'm fine..." Qin Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed the fragments of memory surging in his mind. Those memories were too chaotic and too unbelievable for him to fully digest for a while.
"What's wrong with you? You look so ugly!" Fan Tianlei asked worriedly.
Qin Yuan shook his head without explaining. He stood up, walked to the rock inlaid with electronic components, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that our opponent this time is far more difficult than we thought..."
"What on earth is this?" Li Erniu pointed at the rock, his face full of confusion, "Could it be the work of aliens?"
"Aliens?" Wang Yanbing sneered, "You've watched too many movies, kid! There are no aliens in this world!"
Qin Yuan ignored their quarrel. He closed his eyes and mobilized the chaotic memory fragments in his mind, trying to find the answer.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken... this should be some kind of consciousness invasion device..."
"Consciousness invasion?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"That's right." Qin Yuan nodded and explained, "To put it simply, it is to use some special device to invade a person's consciousness into another person's brain, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the other person's thoughts and behaviors..."
"This... How is this possible?!" Wang Yanbing's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "This is too mysterious!"
"Nothing is impossible." Qin Yuan said calmly, "There are still many things in this world that we cannot understand..."
"Then...what should we do now?" He Chenguang asked. Although he was always calm, he felt a little uneasy at this moment.
Qin Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The most urgent thing is to get rid of this thing first. We can't let it continue to send signals out!"
After saying that, he was about to destroy the rock, but at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard, followed by a familiar voice sounded behind everyone.
"Stop! What are you doing?!"
When everyone looked back, they saw a tall, sharp-faced man in camouflage uniform striding towards them, followed by a team of fully armed soldiers.
"Chen Feng?!" Fan Tianlei and others were all stunned when they saw the person coming.
Chen Feng, another chief of staff of the Langya Special Operations Brigade, is at the same level as Fan Tianlei. He is insidious, cunning, cruel and ruthless. He has always regarded Fan Tianlei as a thorn in his side. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years and have long been at odds with each other.
"How come you are here?" Chen Feng's eyes swept across Qin Yuan and others with a cold look, and finally fell on the cut rock. When he saw the electronic components inside the rock, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a trace of panic that was difficult to conceal flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that you seem to know this thing?" Qin Yuan's mouth curled up with a playful arc. He had long noticed that Chen Feng's appearance was not accidental. It seemed that there was a deeper secret behind this...
Chen Feng's appearance instantly made the atmosphere on the scene tense. Fan Tianlei and others stared at Chen Feng and the soldiers behind him vigilantly, with their guns slightly raised, ready to respond to any emergency.
"Chen Feng, what do you want to do?!" Fan Tianlei stepped forward, stood in front of Qin Yuan, and asked in a bad tone.
Chen Feng sneered, and glanced at Fan Tianlei with disdain, and said in a cold voice: "Fan Tianlei, stop pretending here! Do you think I don't know what you are planning? You want to keep this thing for yourself, no way!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Fan Tianlei shouted angrily, "I don't know what you are talking about!"
"Humph! Are you still pretending to be stupid?!" Chen Feng snorted coldly, pointed at the cut rock, and said sternly, "This thing is the control terminal of the 'Eye of God', right?!"
"Eye of God?!" Upon hearing this name, Fan Tianlei and others' faces changed.
"God's Eye" is a mysterious international terrorist organization. It is said to possess extremely powerful technological capabilities. It has committed many terrorist attacks that shocked the world and is the number one target of intelligence agencies in various countries.
"You...how do you know about 'Eye of God'?!" Fan Tianlei suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
Chen Feng raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "Fan Tianlei, do you think you can hide what you did from me? I have known for a long time that you have been secretly investigating the 'Eye of God', and you have also found their lair, right?!"
