Chapter 59: An Attack

Chapter 59: An Attack

Deep in the Alps, a red dragon was soaring through the sky. The dragon was massive, and it created a big gust of wind. Fortunately, it was dark, and this place was deserted. Otherwise, the dragon's appearance must have shocked the world, and all biologists will be crazy about it.

The dragon hovered in the air and let out a roar from its mouth. The loud sound echoed in the Alps and caused avalanches in the Alps' valleys.

Zhang Jue and the others stepped out of their tents to see a huge red shadow hovering in the distant sky. Its cries echoed within the mountain tops while the distant valleys kept rumbling. It was a good thing the place they had chosen to camp was a small and isolated top far from any snow patches, or they would have been buried in snow.

Zhang Jue had seen the dragon on the plane, and when he saw it again from the ground, the enormous size still took his breath away.

Hael gulped and stammered, "Davis, you call this a small dragon?"

"Oh my God. What's wrong with my eyes? Why can't I see anything." Davis looked away

Zhang Jue stared at the giant dragon in the distance, calculating in his mind quietly. What a behemoth, how to subdue and contain this creature without any weapon at all.

Among several people, only the woman in black did not have any expression. She looked at the giant dragon in the distance. A strange glint in her eyes can be seen. They were admiring the giant dragon when suddenly, the dragon turned around and flew over in the direction they were located.

"Holy shit!" Seeing where the dragon was heading, Zhang Jue shouted, "Run!"

In his desperation, he shouted in Chinese. But at a time like this, the tone he made can be understood even by someone who doesn't speak Chinese. Hael and Davis didn't even need to listen to Zhang Jue. They instinctively turned their heads and ran down the hill.

It's a good thing that they're running separately.

Zhang Jue cursed, speeding up his pace. Fearing that if he were not fast enough, he would be swallowed by the dragon. The dragon flapped its wings and flew straight towards the mountain peak where they were camping, clearing the area of several thousand meters in an instant.

While running, Zhang Jue looked back, and he was shocked. The dragon was only a few hundred meters away from them, and he could even see the dragon's fiery eyes.

It's over. Zhang Jue thought.

What ability does he have available to fight a giant dragon? Hael and Davis also realized the problem. No matter how fast they run, they can't escape from the dragon that was tailing them.

Several people stopped at the mountainside. They were looking at the flying dragon, waiting for death.

"Advisor Zhang, do you have any last words?"

"I just want to know what your assistant's name is."

"..."

"Bearded man, why do you even contain that creature?"

"To kill them later! It is the GOC's duty to protect humans from any harm!"

"Then protect me instead!"

"SCP Foundation staff is not under our protection!"

"That is blatant discrimination!"

"Okay, okay, you don't need to be rude!"

Zhang Jue waved his hand and gathered the three of them to his side. He had no choice. He was going to use The Old Man's Pocket Dimension ability to dodge the first wave of attacks first. As for how to counterattack it, he'll think about it later.

However, a scene that surprised them happened. The dragon did not fly towards them but directly crashed its head into the mountain peak!

Boom! A huge impact can be heard, and the ground was shaken. Several people were stunned by this scene.

What had just happened?

That giant dragon crashed into the mountain with its head? Was it nicknamed The Gong Dragon?

While Zhang Jue was amazed, the dragon hovered and rose into the air again, accelerating towards another mountain peak.

Boom! It crashed into the mountain peak once again.

This time several people could see it very clearly. The top of that dragon's head was already bubbling with red blood, but it still crashed its head into the mountainside.

What exactly was that dragon thinking? Looking for a lost loved one?

Zhang Jue grunted in his heart. Several other people also had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Hael said, "Davis, what exactly did you guys do to it? It can't even see straight."

Davis scratched his head, "Nothing really. Except for peeing in its direction..."

-----

An hour later, the dragon flew away with a wound. Left a few people with gusts made from its wings. Zhang Jue looked around. Since the giant dragon appeared, the woman in black was nowhere to be found. Disappeared like a mysterious person again.

The four remaining crew returned to their camp and fixed the tent that had collapsed. A few people didn't have the guts to sleep, keeping their eyes wide open until dawn. Zhang Jue kept thinking. Why would the dragon act like that? Did it really have something to think about?

He was content, and he wanted to take a look inside its nest.

Dawn was set, they continued to head towards the GOC's camp as originally planned. They spared no time for rest. This time they quickened their pace and finally saw a tent in the late afternoon, appearing not far from the opposite hillside.

"Hey, I'm back," Davis called out toward the camp before being followed by Hael. "Ooh!" Davis looked at Hael in horror, thinking that the SCP Foundation men were going to kill him.

"Shh!" Zhang Jue put his index finger to his mouth, signaling him to be silent.

For the first time back at the camp, Davis had let his guard down a bit. Zhang Jue and Ha'ir hadn't let their guard down. Something was not right about the GOC's camp. Hael's assistant picked up an eggshell from the corner of the rock.

Zhang Jue swept the snow off the rocks with his foot, and there was some blood faintly sprayed on it, bright red and still fresh by the looks of it. There had obviously been a fight here, and it was very recent.

The camp was still there, but it was too quiet, and there was no human life at all. Davis also realized that something was wrong. According to the procedure, the camp should have sent someone to meet them, but it didn't. Even the 24-hour guard post was gone.

Something's wrong!

Davis broke out in a cold sweat. In order to execute that dragon, the GOC camp has many advanced weapons. Even if a small army came here to rob them, it would be a hard thing to deal with. From the time he left until now, it was only about three days. How could the GOC guards be wiped out so quickly?

Who did this?

Several people approached the camp step by step, cautiously. The camp was empty, except for a few tents. All other weapons and equipment had disappeared.

The GOC personnel stationed here aren't anywhere to be seen. Even their dead bodies are nowhere to be found. This ruled out the possibility of a dragon attack.

Could it be the woman in black from last night?

Zhang Jue didn't think so. If she had killed everyone with whatever ability she had, it was possible. But what about the weapons and equipment? How could she have carried them away alone?

Zhang Jue looked around and found an insulated water cup. He unscrewed the water cup, poured it into his hand, and found that the water was still hot. It looked like the place had been attacked just a few hours ago.

Who had done it?

Zhang Jue was thinking about it. Suddenly, Hael's assistant shouted from the other side, "Come here! There's someone alive in here!"
