Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 115: Thunder and the Watcher (25)

Dragon Raja 5

There was actually a cold storage behind the isolation door. It was a very large cold storage. There was a thick layer of ice on the ground and the walls were covered with frost, a vast expanse of white. There were also a lot of ice cubes piled in the corners, which should be used to maintain the temperature of the cold storage during temporary power outages.

The cold storage was filled with a strong smell of the sea. It looked like it was usually transporting seafood. The remaining fish scales and some dead shellfish on the floor confirmed Nono’s suspicion. Aleyev transported precision instruments to Vladivostok, and from there, he transported freshly chilled fish back to Japan. Japanese and Russian fishing boats actually operated in the same waters, but the Japanese are a seafood-loving nation, and premium tuna might not be as tasty as beef to Russians. Therefore, fish caught in the same waters easily fetched a high price if caught by Japanese boats, but were considered a treasure trove by Russian boats. This provided Aleyev with an opportunity to profit, but diners were unaware that the precious seafood on their tables had been transported along with nuclear waste.

All the evidence shows that Aleyev is a cunning businessman, but it was this businessman who made money by sailing that set this strange trap for them.

Nono checked along the wall. The cold storage was empty. Aleyev didn’t seem to want to bury them with tons of tuna and Arctic clams. But the origin of the cyan mist remained a mystery. The cyan mist in the cold storage was so dense it looked like liquid. It was so thick that the further down they went, the thicker it got. They couldn’t even see their feet, their knees completely engulfed by the cyan mist.

Nono felt very uneasy, but was helpless, just like a wild beast that felt it was surrounded, but the surroundings were always calm, so calm that it didn’t know whether to escape or fight back.

“Who is it?” Chu Zihang yelled.

Nuonuo turned with his gun, first looking at Chu Zihang, then following Chu Zihang’s gaze. The mysterious frogman was standing by the cold storage door, looking at them from afar, his golden pupils piercing the mist.

Before Nuonuo could take aim, the UMP9 in Chu Zihang’s hand had already roared to life. As he pulled the trigger, the frogman closed the hatch.

The bullets splashed sparks of fire on the hatch, which was so thick that even bullets couldn’t penetrate it.

Chu Zihang realized something was wrong and immediately switched to a short arc knife. He rushed out with the knife and himself. Before he could reach the door, there was a heavy sound of the lock closing. Chu Zihang kicked the door hard, but despite his strength, the door did not budge.

They were trapped in this cold storage, which was really a retribution. Not long ago, they had just trapped Susie in a similar way. Nono subconsciously reached into his tactical backpack and touched the plastic explosive inside.

With this thing, it was not difficult for them to make a hole in the bulkhead, but Nono suddenly felt like cursing.

She figured out one thing: they came here because there was a faint voice in her heart urging her to search deeper into the cabin… Damn it! It was the order that the frogman had forced into her mind. He had sneaked into Nono’s cabin, and although he hadn’t completed the assassination, he had achieved another goal.

So this is the center of the trap, and the center of the trap is just an empty cold storage?

At this moment, Nuonuo heard a crisp sound, “pop,” like a crack in the glass. But how could there be glass in the cold storage? Nuonuo suddenly turned the gun and pointed it at the large ice blocks in the corner of the cold storage.

Chu Zihang also turned his tactical flashlight around, and with the two strong beams overlapping, they finally saw through the thick fog those ice blocks… and the blurry figures within them! Cracks were appearing one after another on the surface of those ice blocks!

Before Nuonuo could figure out his tactics, Chu Zihang had already opened fire, sending ice shards flying. The bullet pierced the ice with ease. The UMP9’s 9mm rounds had exceptional penetrating power. Nuonuo had told him to be ruthless and steady, but in reality, that advice was unnecessary. Giving him only a UMP9 was a bit of a misnomer; he should have been given a Gatling machine gun.

A dark red liquid oozed from the ice, flowing along the cracks. The block of ice hit by the most bullets quickly turned blood red. Could it be that someone was frozen in this ice? Who could be frozen in this ice and still be alive, and even struggle out of it on their own?

Before Nuonuo had time to figure it out, the huge block of ice collapsed. It was not entirely because it was hit by dozens of bullets, but because it was… split from the inside out!

The black shadow wrapped in flying ice chips pounced towards Chu Zihang, its sharp claws accompanied by a sharp sound of wind!

Chu Zihang’s strafing accelerated the collapse of his ice. He was like a beast that had hatched prematurely, and as soon as it emerged from its eggshell, it attacked the nearest creature. The bullets that passed through his body seemed to have no effect on him at all.

Chu Zihang was in the middle of changing magazines, and all he could do was throw his empty UMP9 at the shadowy figure in front of him. The moment it made contact with the shadowy figure’s claws, the UMP9 shattered into pieces. Those claws cut through metal so effortlessly; it was hard to imagine what it would feel like cutting through a human body.

The short arc knife was stuck in Chu Zihang’s lower back. He lifted the hem of his windbreaker to draw the knife, but the black shadow was already in front of him. Ice chips flew on his face, and he could even smell the smell of metal rust on the sharp claws.
