Chapter 1223: Strange Death
Relying on the wreckage of the Taishan ship, this jungle base that was temporarily built has repelled six waves of attacks from alien monsters in a row.
One victory after another did not plunge them into a collective carnival, but instead brought a more serious problem in front of everyone.
Weapons and ammunition are still sufficient, but the quantity is still limited, and if there are ten or eight more attacks like today's, or even dozens of them, it will be difficult to guarantee the supply of ammunition.
Those alien creatures are not afraid of death, they don't know what death and fear are! Every time they charge, they do their best, leaving no way back, and they are unusually tragic and tragic.
The night Koreans' soldiers soon discovered that their opponents were actually just creatures that followed the killing instinct and did not have enough intelligence, which meant that these monsters would continue to haunt them.
And obviously, in this vast jungle, the number of these monsters is endless, and no one knows how many there are, which is a really desperate fact.
Just two days have passed, and the morale of the members of the Taishan ship base has begun to drop significantly, and finally there have been casualties.
The excitement of killing those alien monsters has faded away, because hunting them doesn't bring any real value.
Their meat is inedible, not even used as fuel, and the equipment and weapons that have been exploded by killing monsters are all products of the cold weapon era, although they have a natural restraint on those monsters, but they must be hand-to-hand combat to be effective.
Whether it is the original crew of the Tarzan ship or the members of the investigation team, they generally lack the courage to fight those monsters in other worlds in close combat.
In the night South Korean army, only those who are really strong, people known as super soldiers, will be interested in hand-to-hand combat, and the wide application of high-tech weapons has made this primitive and brutal way of fighting gradually withdraw from the cognition of ordinary soldiers, but in the hands of those super strong, it will bloom again with unexpected brilliance.
By nightfall, the jungle had turned into a dark realm.
Inside the base of the Taishan shipwreck, people got into the sleeping cabin early and fell asleep.
Perhaps it is only when they sleep that they feel relaxed, and they can temporarily stop thinking about the sinister environment of the outside world, and not thinking about the endless monster frenzy.
"Did you hear that? Someone seems to have escaped last night. Half-asleep, someone in the cabin whispered.
"It's the night sentinels, and they're not even going to have any equipment!" said the man who slept on the side against the wall, half-sitting up.
"Could it be that they had some kind of accident? just fleeing into the jungle? Aren't they looking for death?" another person who couldn't sleep joined the discussion.
"During the day they didn't let it be discussed openly, saying it was very bizarre and disappeared without a trace. Do you think it's weird?"
"Could it be something unclean in this broken forest?"
Everyone whispered about it, only knowing that there were fewer people last night, but they didn't know where those two people went.
Indescribably, an indescribable sense of panic has quietly spread in the Taishan ship.
Early the next morning, when the changing sentries came to the fortifications, they were shocked to find that the posts were empty and there was no one.
The sentry immediately raised the alarm, and everyone in the cabin woke up, and they rushed out to ask each other what was going on.
When everyone learned the news that the sentry had disappeared in the middle of the night, they all had a creepy feeling.
If the two sentries from the night before were gone, it was possible that they had sneaked away with their equipment, but this time, the same two sentries disappeared quietly, no one alive, no dead body, and they couldn't have thought about escaping from the Taishan ship base, right?
The probability of four people fleeing the base in a row is really low!
Well, there's only one possibility, and there's some enemy lurking near the base that can silently kill the sentry and take it away.
This enemy is almost invisible and absolutely powerful, otherwise, how could it be possible to drag a heavily armed sentry away without leaving a trace on the scene?
There was a lot of discussion, but there was never a specific answer to the discussion, and there was no corresponding way.
The atmosphere of panic is getting stronger.
In comparison, the enemy hiding in the shadows is much more terrifying than the bugs that stupidly rush to the base.
Its ability to kill the sentinels silently means that it can reach into the base at any time and kill everyone inside.
This night, no one is destined to sleep.
As the temporary leader of the survivors, Mr. First Officer had to make the decision to have two of his best sailors serve as sentries for the evening.
These two crew members are his most loyal supporters, and they are the kind who will not run away on their own no matter what.
In order to find out what was going on at the sentry post in the middle of the night, the first mate also asked the technical engineer to install six cameras near the sentry post to monitor the sentry in all directions.
At the same time, the first mate also selected a combat team, all equipped with the most advanced equipment, and ambushed in the ship's hull in advance, ready to attack at any time to support the outpost in case of emergencies.
"Miss Hu Lin, in order to cooperate with the actions of the night, please hand over your armor. The three crew members accompanied Xing Wei and appeared in front of Hu Lin's single cabin door together.
Xing Wei's eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look directly at Hu Lin.
Hu Lin sneered: "My armor is my personal belongings, why should I hand it over to you?"
"Miss Hu Lin, something is wrong at the sentry, and we must concentrate the best fighters and the most advanced equipment for the safety of everyone. Your armor is the latest model and can make a big difference, please hand over your armor and authorization code to cooperate with us. One of the crew members patiently explained.
It is really difficult to refuse this reason, and if you resist this order, it is equivalent to standing directly against the whole group.
Hu Lin had a gloomy face, she knew that her armor model must have leaked out from Xing Wei, but even if he didn't mention it, others would be able to guess it sooner or later.
However, now is not the time to ask Master Xing Wei Xing for his guilt, Hu Lin said in a deep voice: "I can't hand over the armor to you, but I can cooperate with tonight's action! I have completed the sixth-level genetic optimization, and this armor is the most suitable for me." ”
At this time, Xing Wei finally raised his head, showed a very apologetic smile, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry." Hu Lin, your status is special, and you are not suitable to participate in the battle directly. The first mate means that you hand over your armor and I will fight for you. I'm also a level 6 genetic optimization, and I promise that I will never insult this armor. ”
Hu Lin's first reaction was to refuse, her own armor was the last line of life defense, how could she lend it to others?
Moreover, the personal items such as battle armor, which women wear closely, are lent to Xing Wei? The relationship with him is not at that point at all, and it is still too far away!
"Don't borrow!" Hu Lin replied coldly after thinking about it.
One of the crew members next to him said with a serious face: "Miss Hu Lin, if you refuse to lend your battle armor, our base also has no obligation to protect you. You're going to be expelled!"
"You dare!" Hu Lin said angrily.
"Xing Wei, they don't know my identity, don't you know either, if something happens to me here, all of you can't afford it!" Hu Lin glared at Xing Wei fiercely and scolded angrily.
Xing Wei's face showed a hint of panic, his original intention was to take this opportunity to deceive Hu Lin's battle armor to improve his chances of survival, and at the same time, he could take the opportunity to force her to submit in the name of protecting Hu Lin.
People are in a desperate situation, it is inevitable that there will become a lot of thoughts, Xing Wei's behavior is selfish in the final analysis, and at the same time, he also wants to take advantage of the situation, if in this disaster, he can take advantage of the situation, and after returning to Ye Korea, it will be really good for his future development.
It's just that he didn't expect that Hu Lin's reaction would be so big, and it would be planted on him all of a sudden.
It seems that he is far from knowing Hu Lin's character, all he knows is Hu Lin's sweet appearance in front of the public as a host reporter, and he doesn't know anything about the tenacity in this woman's bones.
"Forget it, forget it! Let's talk to the first mate again. Xingwei saw that he couldn't do anything, so he quickly found a reason and fled.
When these people left, Hu Lin slammed the door shut, leaning his back against the door frame, and the crystal tears swirled in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to slide down.
She told herself, Hu Lin, you must be strong!
Even if you don't have a helper, you have to walk through the jungle alone and find a way back to Sandstorm City.
Hu Lin has secretly made up his mind that he must not stay with these stupid guys like pigs, and the only end of being with them is defeat.
This night, many people in the base did not fall asleep, and someone stared at the camera for the whole night, and did not find anything abnormal.
The two sentries standing at the door stood straight, and they did not make any moves, no alarms, no enemies, nothing.
However, when the changing sentry walked to the sentry and was about to change the guard with his predecessor, he suddenly screamed like crazy.
"Someone, someone!" the two sentinels who had just taken up their posts shouted in unison.
Almost everyone in the base rushed out, under the blue sky and white sun, could something happen again?
When they got closer, many people couldn't help but gasp, and the expressions on their faces were instantly hard to see.
Because they saw a scene that they will never forget.
The two sentries on duty last night stood as straight as a pine, and their armor and weapons were intact, but the skin of the two of them, like air-dried mummies, was shriveled and crumpled, as if all the flesh and water in their bodies were gone, and only a skin wrapped around the bones.
"What's going on?" said the chief officer, who had been elected by the crowd, and shouted in a fit of rage.
Unfortunately, no matter how loud he screamed, it didn't explain why the two sentries were like this.
For a while, everyone in the base had a creepy and frightened feeling, and the atmosphere of this place became more and more weird.
