It's late at night.

The city of Steel is surrounded by deserts, and some bombed architectural remains can be seen under the yellow sand.

The desert located north of the city is the most deserted area.

——Thirty-seven years ago, a nuclear explosion occurred in the sky here, instantly destroying the military base directly below.

It is said that to this day, the underground nuclear power plant inside the military base is still operating under leakage.

The radiation value of the northern desert has been severely exceeded the standard year by year, and the radiation value in some places even exceeds the measurement range of the Geiger counter.

Even mercenaries and murderers who are fearless will not be willing to come to such a place to lose their lives.

Three off-road vehicles rushed past the desert, and the huge tires brought up sand and dust. The black body was sprayed with red flame patterns.

"Boss, it's not good for us to come to such a haunted place..." The fat man sitting in the back of one of the cars complained,

He was wearing only a vest and shorts, and the horizontal flesh accumulated on his body kept shaking with the bumps of the car. He held the heavy machine gun tightly with his big hands, and had a long belt of bullets hanging on his shoulders, like a Buddha with a gun.

"You have to finish your work, otherwise what is the difference between it and salted fish?"

The bald man sitting in the passenger seat - "Jackal" Arthur Hawke, staring at the sand dunes in the distance with his right eye.

A scar cut from his left eye to the corner of his mouth, robbing his left eye of vision forever.

These soldiers with live ammunition were the "Black Fire" of the mercenary organization of the City of Steel.

They have been working with Star Entertainment for a long time to do some shameful and dirty things.

This time their hunting target is a guy with the nickname "Bringing Joy to the World".

There is not much information at present, but the other party's hiding location is determined by tracking the IP address.

In order to ensure the completion of the mission, they brought twelve people and the car also installed multiple rocket launchers. The firepower they carried was enough to level the entire street, and it was more than enough to destroy one person.

However, this time the customer specifically asked to take the target's head over and try to ensure that the body is intact.

"Hey, boss..."

Affected by radiation, the sound on the radio was intermittent: "Why... this person... lives here? Could it be...radiation..."

"So what about the radiation man? It's not that I haven't killed him." Hawke picked up the intercom and yelled: "Stop talking nonsense, check the weapon!"

In front of a fully armed mercenary team, even a mutant monster cannot escape the ending of death.

"It's still one kilometer away from the target." The thin mercenary driving said coldly.

"Get out of the car, let's walk over, don't disturb them." Hawke said, putting on a mask with a skull pattern to cover his scarred face.

Three soldiers were left to guard the vehicle, and nine others walked into the desert, put on a binocular night vision device, and the picture in their eyes turned green.

The mercenaries wearing exoskeletons rushed to the location of the target on the map.

Looking at the desolate desert ahead, Hawke couldn't help but feel a little puzzled:

"Bringing joy to the world" really lives in such a ghost place?

The value is rising on the Geiger counter used to measure radiation.

Even though they put on light radiation jackets before coming, the mercenaries still felt a strong sense of discomfort, as if hundreds of ants were crawling on their bodies.

"Boss, let's go back..." a mercenary complained.

"It's just a psychological effect, don't be afraid," Hawke said.

While confirming the radiation value, he moved forward cautiously. After climbing over a small sand dune, a half-blasted building wreck appeared in his sight.

"It should be here."

Hawke made a gesture, and the mercenaries immediately lay down and observed the building with their telescopes.

There are no lights in the building, no signs of human activity, and no vehicles are found nearby.

"Marcus and Jeff touched it with me, and the others flew around." While giving the order, he pulled out a short dagger, and the blade flashed coldly in the moonlight.

Those who live in such a ghost place must be radiation people.

Because he didn't know the situation inside, he decided to put the drone in the first place to investigate.

When he took out the drone from his backpack, Hawke noticed a spot of light flashing through his leg.

"There is an ambush!"

He said that, and immediately fell down, and the other soldiers around him crawled on the sand in an instant, pulling their guns into the direction of the building.

Under the camera of the night vision, no enemies were seen. Even the two snipers in the team did not find any signs of human activity in the ruins of the building.

——What was the light spot just now...

Realizing that something was wrong, Hawke looked down at the dune and shouted: "Retreat quickly-"

Bang!

With a loud bang, the sand ten meters ahead of the mercenaries suddenly exploded, and the burst of sand and dust instantly obscured their sight.

They switched the night vision device to thermal imaging mode and then saw incredible images.

The one who appears in the camera is a cheetah, or... a big cat.

The tyrannical beast roar shook their brains. The monster was astonishingly fast. Before the two closest mercenaries could raise their guns, their heads flew away from their bodies, and the headless corpse knelt in the sand.

The extremely sharp steel claws tear open the smoke, and another mercenary screamed and was cut into two pieces.

It was not until this time that the remaining mercenaries finally opened fire, and six rifles chased the monster's movement trajectory and began to fire, and more than a dozen bullets accurately hit the monster's body.

But all they heard was a crisp sound of bangs.

"It's bulletproof steel plate! Use EMP grenades!"

Before Hawke finished speaking, the two mercenaries around him were dragged into the smoke.

Looking at the plasma flying in the sky in the thermal imaging mirror's sight, he felt like he was going crazy. He pulled out the plasma saber and rushed forward, trying to fight with the bulletproof monster.

Then, a severe pain came from his right wrist and the saber also took off his hand.

Until the other mercenaries were completely destroyed and Arthur Hawk fell on the sand, he finally saw the true appearance of the enemy:

The big cat was covered with silver armor all over his body, his face was covered with a red mask, and only his eyes were exposed, with his vertical purple pupils staring at him.

"What the hell are you... what..." He spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the last moment of his life, Hawke heard not the roar of the beast, but the soft female voice:

"I'm sorry, who told you to come?"

...

Seeing that the last mercenary was also dead, the silver cat suddenly raised its front paws and stood up with its two legs behind.

With a crackling sound, the metal parts on her body began to be retracted. The metal mask fell on her shoulders, revealing her round face, and her long brown hair poured down from both sides of her shoulders.

After regaining his usual human form from the feline form, Lin Yu grabbed a cloak and draped it on himself, opened his throat and said, "I've solved it here."

"Well, that's the case here." Qin Che's voice felt a little bit of grainy under the interference of radiation.

"I haven't killed anyone for a long time, I'm a little unfamiliar..." Lin Yu looked down at the corpse lying at his feet.

Now she is not a young soldier struggling to survive in the desert, but a cat girl idol in the City of Steel.

Except for the four people in the circus, no one has seen Lin Yu's form.

"It's better to be unfamiliar." Qin Che smiled: "If it's not that there is no choice, who is willing to kill someone?"

"Well, what are you going to do next?" Lin Yu was worried: "Sooner or later they will hire someone to come..."

Although the mercenaries sent by Qunxing Entertainment were led to the depths of the desert by forging IP addresses, it was only a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause, and it could not cause any substantial harm to Qunxing Entertainment.

"Ha, don't worry."

Qin Che, who was standing next to the off-road vehicle, put away his dagger and looked at the mercenary beside him who had just been cut by his throat:
Chapter completed!
