The First Evolution

Chapter 282: Investigation

Fortunately, Macchiato was relieved that his old partner Teto had come to assist him.

Teto’s position was on the same line as Macchiato and Fang Linyan. If Teto shoots, he can accidentally hurt his teammate.

So the veteran with great combat experience pulled out the safety pin of a grenade and threw it over Macchiato’s head.

At this time, there was smoke all around, and an unpinned grenade was difficult to notice. Macchiato thought: I dare you to survive this!

The next second, he saw the opponent made a high kick similar to Taekwondo, kicking back the grenade back before it landed!

Teto and Macchiato were shocked. They lay down on the ground at the same time and made standard protective actions to avoid explosions. The next second, the grenade exploded, and the flying sand and stones fell on top of them.

When they had just recovered from the shock of the explosion, Fang Linyan had already approached them like a devil.

Teto gritted his teeth, got up and stabbed with a dagger.

Fang Linyan’s Basic Melee was now LV5, which was equivalent to the level of an Olympic seeded player. Not only that, he also had 16 points of strength, 9 points of agility and 11 points of perception.

Intuitively speaking, it was the fighting skills of people like Huo Yuanjia and Ye Wen, plus more than 3 times the strength of ordinary people, 1.5 times the speed of ordinary people, and 1.7 times the perception of ordinary people… Even special forces like Teto could only be trampled to the ground!

Fang Linyan took a half step back, Teto’s knife was only 20cm from his chest, but he couldn’t stab a centimeter more as the momentum was exhausted.

Of course, Fang Linyan couldn’t miss such a big chance. He grabbed his wrist and twisted, followed by the sound of bone fracture immediately.

Teto was also very brave. When he was sweating profusely in pain, he actually reached out to take out the grenade from his waist. He seemed like wanting to drag Fang Linyan to hell with him. Such behavior could be called a desperado.

However, Fang Linyan let him use his intact left hand to take out the grenade laboriously, then He stretched out his hands like lightning, held Teto’s cheeks gently, and exerted force suddenly!

A crisp crack could be heard. Teto’s head was forcibly turned to the back by Fang Linyan. He slumped to the ground like mud. Although his left hand touched the pin of the grenade, he no longer had the strength the pull it…

At this point, Macchiato discovered that in just one minute, except himself, the entire Team C was completely wiped by Fang Linyan with sudden attacks and melee combat!!!

At this moment, his will to fight was completely destroyed, because this way of fighting had completely exceeded his concept of war, so he smiled miserably, hugged the corpse of his teammate and said,

“Do it.”

Fang Linyan smiled and said,

“We’ve never met before, and I don’t have any personal grudges with you. If it wasn’t for you guys chasing me, I wouldn’t kill you all.”

Macchiato was stunned for a while. He felt that Fang Linyan’s words seemed to be wrong, but it logically seemed to make sense.

“What do you mean?”

Fang Linyan said,

“You still don’t get it? The reason your companions die because they wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to kill them to protect myself! Since you don’t attack me now and are willing to talk to me, then I would also like to talk to you.”

Macchiato said hoarsely,

“You won’t kill me??”

Fang Linyan said,

“Do I look a lot like a mentally ill murderer? You guys chased me here! Bro!”

“Well, our base was destroyed. As a survivor, the company will definitely question me. Tell me your motive and your intel so that I have something to report, then I will let you go. What do you think?”

“Your buddy was too ruthless. He wanted to pull the pin and died with me, so I had no choice but to snap his neck. The other 2 are in severe injuries. If they are treated in time, they can still live. Do you want to watch them die?”

At this time, Fang Linyan directly used psychological negotiation skills. He first put himself on the side of the victim, grabbing the moral high ground whether it was reasonable or not.

Next, Fang Linyan even shamelessly distorted the concepts. He obviously put Macchiato’s teammates into 1 death and 2 injured, but he put the situation like if Macchiato didn’t agree to it, he would become the sinner who killed his 2 teammates.

So the art and skill of talking were really very important.

Macchiato was good at special operations and hunting, but he had no research on eloquence and psychology. His face looked very complicated, and he finally he sighed and said,

“Then you let me treat them first.”

Fang Linyan said,

“Okay.”

***

The field first aid was very advanced at this era. There were gel hemostatic patches, and the injections that made the injured fall fell into a state similar to hibernation/suspended death.

In this state, people’s metabolism would be slowed down to the limit, and the injuries would not continue to worsen.

So, Macchiato quickly patched his buddies up, then he told everything he knew to Fang Linyan.

It turned out that they were sent by the Gumball Company, one of the 3 behemoths in the field of biochemistry.

Among the 3 behemoths, the Duckland Company focused on the potential development of the human body, the Fincher Company focused on the mutation in beast genes, and the Gumball Company focused on the combination of machinery and flesh.

This sudden meteorite incident had also been closely followed by the Gumball Company. There was no doubt that it was completely bad news for Gumball Company, which was headquartered in Northern Europe. Even if they had forces there, the combat power was insignificant.

So, the Gumball Company dispatched them to cause chaos, posing as the Fincher Company to attack the temporary base of the Duckland Company, then they tried to fish in the troubled waters.

After Fang Linyan heard Macchiato’s words, he knew that it was too suspicious.

It seemed that what he said was reasonable, but he didn’t rule out that the Fincher Company acted in the name of the Gumball Company?

It could also be internal strife within the Duckland Company!

The truth was confusing. Because of the lack of information, Fang Linyan couldn’t determine the true or false.

It wasn’t that Macchiato was deceiving him, but that he was a nobody. He probably wasn’t qualified to have access to real information.

Of course, Fang Linyan was also a nobody in the Duckland Company, so he asked Macchiato twice. After confirming that what he said was the same, he kept his promise and let Macchiato take his people away.

After thinking about it, Fang Linyan changed the place and took a photo of the mutated wolf dog with broken limbs. Then, he uploaded the relevant information, claiming that he was attacked after returning to the temporary base to report his work.

The number of people who assaulted him was a lot. Because he happened to go to the next ravine to poop, he didn’t get hit in the first wave of attack. Then, he started to run away. The enemy released a mutated beast and a group of people to chase him.

After some fighting, he repelled the pursuers, and he captured the mutated beast.

After the results were uploaded, Fang Linyan’s information was taken seriously again. He received a reply immediately, asking him to report the coordinates and wait for rescue.

This time, Fang Linyan waited for 2 hours for the reinforcements to come down from the helicopter, presumably because the Duckland Company suffered continuous attacks, so there was a lack of manpower.

To Fang Linyan’s surprise, Delto was present in the team that came to pick him up this time. He had already changed into a suit, looking very tired.

Among the people who got off the plane, there were also 2 men with blue and white armbands on their arms. They were expressionless and loaded with live ammunition. After jumping down, they clamped Fang Linyan in the center, but they didn’t speak. They were like supervisors.

Fang Linyan wasn’t bothered by it, but Delto’s face was ugly. He looked at the 2 men wearing blue and white armbands with hostility.

One of them finally couldn’t help but said,

“Mr. Delto, we Ministry of Internal Affairs is also acting according to the rules. There is no need to be so hostile to us.”

Delto said coldly,

“Really? What how do you explain Modok’s incident 3 years ago! He was obviously innocent, but he was sent to the test tank by you!!”

The man shrugged and said,

“The factory allows a scrap rate of 3 out of 10,000. Our Ministry of Internal Affairs are human beings, not gods. Of course, there will be mistakes.”

Delto gave him a deep look, then he suddenly said to the secretary next to him,

“Write down his name. Remember to remind me when we are short of experimental materials. From now on, you’d better pray that you don’t make mistakes.”

The man’s face turned ashen! Of course, it wasn’t a good feeling to be targeted by someone like Delto.

Soon, the helicopter flew to the branch in Salt Lake City and landed slowly.

After landing, Fang Linyan was taken away by 2 people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but before being taken away, Delto came to pat him on the shoulder to show his support.

Therefore, although the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs seemed to be a bit unscrupulous, they finally gave Fang Linyan a basic courtesy.

After some conversation, Fang Linyan realized that it was no wonder that they were so serious. It turned out that among the camps established by the Duckland Company, a total of 11 camps were attacked. 6 of them were razed to the ground.

Not only that, the helicopters that transported the captured mutated creatures were also the key targets of the attack. The company dispatched a total of 9 helicopters for transportation. 6 of them were attacked; 5 were successfully destroyed and 1 was missing.

Based on these data, Fang Linyan basically judged that the enemies targeting Duckland Company should be divided into 2 types. The first was that they could be a rival company. The second was that they could be a contractor team.

It was not difficult to guess that the missions of the contractor team must also be related to mutated creatures or meteorite fragments. Instead of looking for them, it was better to wait until the companies captured them before stealing from them.

Fang Linyan knew the whole story, but he couldn’t say it. He simply said what he knew to a limited extent, then he was placed under house arrest. It was obvious to verify what he said.

It was house arrest, but the treatment was still very good.

After all, Fang Linyan had shown the potential of being clear-headed and capable of fighting; he was a rare talent.

The place where he lived was a suite of a five-star hotel, and a personal butler was assigned to him. The butler politely said that if Fang Linyan had any request, he could tell him.

Fang Linyan casually said that he was hungry, then the butler immediately brought the red wine, steak and foie gras. The steak was a premium steak. Although the red wine was not of the level of 1982 Chateau Laffite, it should also be a precious collection. The foie gras was cooked perfectly too.

During the meal delivery, Fang Linyan even saw a few starlets called to the next room.

Fang Linyan wanted to test how much the company attached importance to him, so he told the personal butler that he was not full and wanted to eat the blue fin tuna sushi and a Tagaki Shuzo 14th generation.

Japanese food was about freshness. The blue fin tuna was a very valuable fish, and its gill meat was just a little bit, so it was really a tossing to ask for this dish in Utah.
