Chapter 72 Encounter
Luke harshly criticized and vetoed Calvin's suggestion to try the "Bloody Mary" ritual, and also forced him to give up the idea of ​​traveling to Crystal Lake.

The decision he made was to investigate the missing persons case in the mountains.

According to the clues Calvin collected, there seemed to be some "hunters" there who specialized in hunting humans. And some suspected survivors posted on the Internet that they were attacked by deformed people in the mountains, who used bows and arrows, as well as cold weapons such as machetes.

In addition, some people said that they encountered a bear-like, but human-like upright monster near the forest. The monster chased their car and dismantled the trunk. Fortunately, they had an experienced driver who stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and sped up to 200 miles per hour, thus escaping from the monster.

No matter what kind of monster it is, it is not a noble spellcaster at first glance. Since it is a carbon-based creature, the 7.62 can deal with it. If the 7.62 can't deal with it, there are grenades. If the grenades don't work, Luke still has the 84mm AT-4 rocket at the bottom of the box.

In short, if you dare to show your health bar, you dare to explode.

As the think tank of the duo and a senior in the supernatural field, Luke naturally has much more say than Calvin. After he made the decision, the two began to prepare for their own events.

Calvin had already prepared for the adventure in advance. About half an hour later, he drove to Luke's safe house, picked him up and prepared to set off.

His car is a Hummer H1. The body of the car is made of bulletproof materials, the engine compartment is equipped with thin bulletproof armor, the window glass is more than 5cm thick, and the door handles are electrified.

In terms of power, it is a series of military products, so there is naturally no need to say more.

Calvin was shocked when he saw Luke putting lots of things into the back seat and even carrying a rocket launcher into the car.

"Brother, you are a superhuman, not an FBI agent," he reminded in a low voice.

"What? Has anyone stipulated that extraordinary people can't use rocket launchers?" Luke said nonchalantly.

By the time he saw a dozen grenades, Calvin was very receptive and didn't even ask.

However, looking at Luke's many bags, even a knife, and then looking at myself, I had a shotgun, a defensive pistol, a bulletproof vest, and some spare bullets, and that was it.

Sure enough, Luke is more experienced.

The forest where disappearances often occur is not close to Fort Lauderdale. It takes about four or five hours to drive there.

After Luke finally moved the large crystal ball into the car, the two of them officially set off.

Luke and Calvin had been out together many times, but this was the first time they had gone out with a clear purpose to adventure, fight, and explore the extraordinary world. Along the way, Calvin was like a hyperactive child, he couldn't stop talking, and his eyes were shining.

He seemed more adapted to the supernatural world than Luke.

Of course, you may die faster.

At noon, the two drove past the last town on the road to the nameless forest. After a simple lunch, they continued on their way. In less than half an hour, they entered the outskirts of the forest.

Like countless mountains and forests in America, this is an ancient and primitive jungle. The thick canopy almost completely blocks the sky. Only sporadic sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the road, forming mottled light and shadows.

Apart from the road winding through the primeval jungle and the occasional road sign, there is no trace of human civilization here.

I didn't know how far I had walked. The road behind me had turned four or five bends and the end was no longer in sight. The crystal ball next to Luke suddenly emitted a faint light.

The same information as the sheep monster discovered before - there is a dark monster nearby, the distance is uncertain, and the level is unknown.

Unfortunately, Luke is not a professional wizard. If the witch lady uses this crystal ball, she can get more specific information such as the direction and approximate level of the dark monster. However, this is enough. At least Luke can be sure that there are indeed enemies in this area.

He warned: "Calvin, drive slower, we have entered the monster's territory."

Hearing Luke's words, Calvin lifted his foot slightly on the accelerator, while one hand was ready to reach for the shotgun on the passenger seat.

Yes, after Luke showed him the arsenal and let him choose, Calvin finally only took a few grenades and chose his shotgun as his primary weapon.

According to him, a spray gun is a man's romance. This thing does not require much practice and is also suitable for novice shooters.

The Hummer's speed dropped to below 40 miles per hour, driving slowly in the vast jungle. Luke looked around vigilantly, paying attention to any suspicious movements in the woods.

Then they walked for several dozen miles.

Not far ahead, there was a sudden unusual shaking in the bushes beside the road. Luke immediately picked up his gun carefully and observed.

After a moment, a woman slowly emerged from the bushes.

She looked in very bad condition, with disordered breathing, blood all over her face and body, and dead branches and leaves stuck to her body. Combined with her tattered clothes, she looked like a savage.

This woman may have been hiding beside the road, waiting for vehicles to pass by. After coming out, she struggled to climb out, blocked the middle of the road, waved her hands, and shouted for help.

"Help! Help me!"

Calvin slammed on the brakes to stop the Hummer. Seeing this, the woman ran towards the car as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Seeing this miserable woman, Calvin picked up his gun and was about to get out of the car to help her, but was stopped by Luke.

"What's wrong?" he asked, turning around.

"Want to be a good person? A hero saving a beautiful girl?" Luke looked him in the eyes and asked, "Do you know who she is?"

"Are you even sure she's human?"

"You get off the car like this, and then the woman rushes over to give you a hug and cuts open your belly. What do you think of this scene? Are you satisfied?"

After a series of verbal attacks from Luke, Calvin's restless heart finally calmed down. He nodded and picked up the shotgun on the passenger seat, but did not make any move to open the car door.

In a moment, the woman had run to the side of the Hummer, but Calvin had locked all the doors. She slammed the door hard, trying to get Calvin to open it and let her in.

It really looks like a woman who has met with misfortune, and we cannot just stand by and watch her die for the sake of a possibility.

In short, let’s get things clear first.

Luke opened the rear window a little to allow sound to pass in and out better.

"Who are you? What happened here?" he asked calmly.
