S.C.I Mystery Series Volume 4 Chapter 126

The Murderer Who Returned From Hell 25 – Entrance to Hell

---

Bai Yutang took Zhang Long and arrived in front of an entrance.

The SWAT team members installed the blasting devices at the four corners of the tightly closed iron door.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hu and Ma Han had also taken their positions, and Qin Ou and Luo Tian had installed the blasting devices.

Xiaofei led the SWAT team members, looked at his watch, and said to Bai Yutang on the other end of the headset, "All ready."

Bai Yutang nodded to the group member who was in charge of the demolition, "Action."

......

With Bai Yutang's order, several muffled sounds rang out, and the SWAT team members kicked open the blown open iron door.

In the command car, Jiang Ping cut off the power system while stealing the surveillance signal inside the apple orchard... instantly...

Zhan Zhao and Bai Chi raised their faces and watched the various surveillance screens in the command car light up one after another. Black and white dim images were presented in front of their eyes, and the entire interior of the apple orchard's underground passageway appeared.

Several of the screens suddenly lit up, it was evident that there was a backup power source, and it could also be surmised that this was the passageway that the other party was preparing to use for their escape.

Zhan Zhao picked up the walkie-talkie, "G8, F3, T2, B5 channels have backup power."

Previously, everyone had marked the numbers for the channels, so the raiding crowd followed the numbers informed by Zhan Zhao to burst in nearby.

"Xiaofei, there are four people with weapons at three o'clock up ahead." Bai Chi alerted the SWAT team leader.

Xiaofei and the SWAT team members were prepared, and after turning the corner, they indeed came face to face with forceful resistance. The police officers opened fire, and the electroshock bullets killed the four people at point blank range. The SWAT team members drew out their handcuffs to detain all of the armed men who were incapable of resisting, and the rest of them continued to break in.

"Zhao Hu, there's an ambush ahead in the right side passage."

As soon as Zhan Zhao's words fell, Zhao Hu yanked out the ambusher with one hand, and Ma Han lifted his gun to instantly eliminate the other three ambushers.

"Luo Tian, up ahead." When Bai Chi informed Luo Tian, Luo Tian had already grabbed the wrist of the person who was preparing to sneak attack him, and through the surveillance screen, the crowd could see the other person's face twisted up in pain after his wrist was deadlocked by Luo Tian.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Chi kept giving information to the raiders based on the surveillance screens, and Bai Yutang and the others moved forward smoothly the whole way after entering the tunnels.

"Yutang," Zhan Zhao alerted Bai Yutang, "there are four people in white coats inside the door to your right."

Bai Yutang opened the door obediently, and as the SWAT team members entered, they heard someone shout, "We're not armed! We're just scientists."

Bai Yutang then saw a young man holding up his hands. The small freckles on his face looked extraordinarily familiar, and Bai Yutang instantly recognised him, it was none other than Wen Dongtian from the photo in Wang Xiatian's wallet.

Wang Xiatian, who was in the monitoring vehicle with Zhan Zhao, immediately shouted, "Ah! Dongtian!"

Bai Yutang glanced at the young man and asked, "Wen Dongtian?"

The young man froze and nodded.

Bai Yutang hooked his finger at him, "You know Wang Xiatian, right?"

Wen Dongtian hurriedly nodded, a little agitated, "Xiatian asked you guys to save me?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Help show the way." As he said this, he glanced at the three white coats crouching on the ground holding their heads.

Wen Dongtian pointed at the one who was crouching at the innermost point, "He's one of them!"

Bai Yutang winked at Zhang Long, who went over, yanked him up and cuffed him.

Bai Yutang thought he looked a little familiar, and upon closer inspection, he smiled. This was the same mechanical expert who had successfully lost weight, who had controlled that mechanical monkey and killed the reporter previously – Martin F. Popescu.

After Zhang Long cuffed him and dragged him up, he heard a click.

Something fell to the ground.

It looked like a car key, with two buttons on it and a red light blinking at the top.

The moment he saw this scene, Bai Yutang heard the other three white coat personnel, including Wen Dongtian who was standing right beside him, draw a breath of cold air.

"Link has been activated!" Wen Dongtian shouted.

At that moment, Bai Yutang could hear gunshots coming from outside, it should be the SWAT team members on the periphery who were firing.

Wen Dongtian shouted, "It's useless, Link is bulletproof."

Bai Yutang had seen the previous video, "Link" was the name of that mechanical monkey. He originally thought that it was voice controlled... it turned out that it could also be controlled remotely.

"Heh heh heh..." Martin laughed, "It's useless, it's the highest technology."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Chi were watching the mechanical monkey moving forward mechanically against the bullets that kept coming. The SWAT team members were shooting and retreating, but the bullets seemed to have no effect on the monkey at all.

At that moment, Zhan Zhao heard the sound of the door of the command vehicle being opened. Turning around, he saw Bao Zheng suddenly walk in, reaching out and taking something out from a corner.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Chi glanced at each other, and saw Bao Zheng holding a large box in one hand, throwing his striped suit aside with the other, and pulling out a cigar from his suit pocket.

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, he recognised this cigar, his dad had gone to South America on a business trip before and brought some back.

Bao Sir held the cigar in his mouth, "Qitian gave me a box yesterday, I didn't expect to smoke it today." After saying that, he lit the cigar and ran away with it in his mouth.

Bai Chi and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, confused as to what Bao Zheng was up to.

When Zhan Zhao chased him to the car door, he saw Bao Zheng running towards the distance while shouting to Zhan Zhao, "You continue to command!"

Zhan Zhao returned to the car in a daze and saw that the mechanical monkey was still moving forward, and that the SWAT team had retreated to the doorway.

Bai Yutang seemed to be looking for a convenient weapon, this thing was invulnerable to knives and guns, it would have to be armour-piercing bullets.

As they were in a stalemate, suddenly, they heard a shout from the passageway, "Everyone get out of the way!"

Bai Yutang and the SWAT team members then saw a spot of light appear behind the monkey in the tunnel after the gunfire. When they all looked clearly, they saw a big black face, Bao Sir was holding a cigar in his mouth and carrying an object over.

When Bai Yutang clearly saw what Bao Sir was carrying, the SWAT team members around him let out a collective "Fuck!" and flew into the laboratory. Bai Yutang also flew in, closing the door in the process, and at the same time, a loud boom could be heard from outside and a powerful air flow rushed in.

Bai Yutang dragged Wen Dongtian, who was still frozen in the doorway, and shoved him under the table, which was followed by a crash. All of the windows and doors shattered, the iron door was blown out of shape and flew into the room, and thick smoke filled the air outside.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses and looked up... After a burst of fire, the mechanical monkey was standing in the doorway, with a huge hole in its body, it seemed to be leaking electricity and was shaking uncontrollably.

"One more shot?" Bao Zheng's voice came, and Bai Yutang hurriedly kicked over the table for cover, while at the same time a second loud bang came, and Wen Dongtian was shaken to the point where his ears buzzed...

After the fire passed, Bai Yutang stood up with his ears out, and saw that the monkey called "Link" at the door had already fallen to the ground, his head and hands had flown off, and there was only one mechanical leg left shaking.

At this moment, Bao Sir walked over with a cigar in his mouth, carrying a huge gun that resembled a small rocket launcher on his shoulder, and stood in front of the door.

Taking the cigar down and spitting out a smoke ring, Bao Zheng glanced at the mechanical monkey on the ground that had been blasted apart, slanted a glance at Martin F. Popescu, who was dumbfounded and kneeling in place in the door, and uttered a sentence, "Highest tech my ass, so weak!"

......

Bai Yutang held his forehead, and a young SWAT officer closest to the door hugged Bao Sir's leg, "Director! So awesome!"

Bao Sir was obviously very happy, raising his eyebrows at Bai Yutang who was patting the dust on his body, which meant – you are still a bit young, you were still wearing diapers when I was catching thieves and playing with cannons.

Bai Yutang looked at the sky speechlessly.

In the command car, Zhan Zhao and Bai Chi held their chins and watched what was happening on the surveillance screen.

Wang Xiatian, who was sitting on the floor in fear, hugged the legs of the table and rubbed himself against them, "So scary! So scary a-a-a-ah!"

Jiang Ping tapped away at his keyboard.

Returning to their senses, Zhan Zhao and Bai Chi both asked him, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Ping was excited, "Cutting out the clip and putting it on the police station's internal network to make them kneel down and lick!"

The purging operation went smoothly, after a half hour long round up, everyone inside the underground tunnels were wiped out. There were a total of five mechanical monkeys like Link, all of them were activated, but all of them were blasted into oblivion by Bao Sir.

When everyone came out, Zhao Hu came over to look at Bao Sir's equipment, "Bao Sir, what is this?"

Bao Zheng raised an eyebrow, "The latest domestic armour-piercing RPG. Not to mention the monkeys, you can blast a tank to pieces."

Zhao Hu held the barrel of the gun in excitement, wanting to shoot a round to try it out.

After a final headcount, Bai Yutang and his team had captured a total of thirty armed personnel and fifteen staff members, and rescued ten scientists, all of whom specialised in medicine, in this clean-up operation. The most valuable thing was that the five Fs were all captured, it could be said to be a clean sweep. They were: big businessman Roman F. Husky, mechanical expert Martin F. Popescu, white bat Dick F. Franski, biochemist Cormier F. Novitsky, and special effects make-up artist Vinoram F. Hirsch.

Zhan Zhao stepped down from the command vehicle and looked at the five handcuffed Fs. These new generation demons, raised by demons, had superior intelligence, talent and financial strength, and could be called the elite of the elite, but they were dedicated to destroying all the good, indulging in evil and enjoying it.

Bai Yutang walked over and looked at the five men with disgust, telling Zhao Hu and the others to escort them all back to the SCI office.

"Dongtian!"

At this time, Wang Xiatian in the command car ran out, and Wen Dongtian, whose head was still buzzing from the few cannon blasts just now, saw his best friend and jumped up in excitement, "Xiatian!"

......

The SCI crowd all watched with some amusement as these two, one winter and one summer, flung themselves together. Sure enough, it's still important to rely on your best friend at critical moments.

Zhan Zhao patted Wang Xiatian's shoulder, "It's thanks to the two of you this time."

Wang Xiatian was quite embarrassed.

Bai Yutang asked Wen Dongtian, "What did they ask you guys to research?"

"At first it was just biopharmaceuticals, drugs to extend life, and cures for cancer." Wen Dongtian said, "But then it felt more and more wrong, until we started to develop things like biological weapons, and I felt it wasn't good. Then we were put under house arrest and saw the amazingly lethal Link, so I started thinking of ways to ask for help."

At that moment, Xiaofei walked over with two experts.

An expert in non-proliferation told Bai Yutang, "There are trace amounts of radiation in the soil of the apple orchard."

"Those apples are toxic." Wen Dongtian said, "It's horrifying, they've fed that fruit to animals, and the toxicity is even higher than cyanide, I don't dare to eat fruit anymore after coming here!"

"Did any of these fruits go outside?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Wen Dongtian shook his head, "We're essentially not allowed to do anything up there, we don't know what's going on up there."

Bai Yutang nodded and told that expert to bring along the technicians to carefully count the quantity and handle them with care.

After the expert left.

Bao Zheng walked over and asked Zhan Zhao, "The Fs over here were caught, now what?"

Zhan Zhao looked at him.

Bao Zheng asked, "What about the other Fs? What about the doctor who started it all?"

Zhan Zhao smiled faintly and said quietly, "I've always wanted to do this."

The crowd was stunned.

Just then, they saw Zhan Zhao stretch out a finger, gently press his lips, and let out a "shhh".

Bao Zheng was startled and looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was obviously just joking. He put away his long and slender index finger and pointed in another direction, "There!"

The crowd was startled and looked over in the direction of his finger, "There? Are you sure?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and whispered, "The entrance to hell, is right there!"
