Coming directly to the roof through the stairs, Jiang Chen lowered the airborne beacon on the relatively flat open space.

For about a quarter of an hour, the slow-descending backpack behind his back spewed out dark blue flames, and Yao Yao, who was wearing a chemical protection suit, slowly floated down from the sky.

Since it was the first time to skydive, the little girl's body was still tense after she landed. Knowing that Jiang Chen helped him remove the backpack behind him, her pale face was slightly bloody.

"OK, it's in place, ready to go. Observing the group of corpses that had returned to calm on the street, Sun Jiao took out the tactical rifle on her waist and ordered on the public channel.

"Roger. ”

The three people, including Jiang Chen, also pulled out their rifles and loaded them with a "click".

"Don't be afraid, follow me. Jiang Chen comforted Xiao Lori in a private channel.

"Hmm!"

Yao Yao's cheeks were slightly red, and he took a few steps forward and followed behind Jiang Chen.

This feeling of being overprotected made her feel a sense of dizziness. Although it was not the first time she had gone out on a mission, it was the first time she had been with Jiang Chen.

The interior of the Geological Bureau is spacious, with a transparent spiral staircase leading to the bottomless underground. From this staircase alone, Jiang Chen felt the designer's deep malice. This Nima is simply unable to get along with a person with a fear of heights. What he didn't know, of course, was that staircases were usually ornamental, and in the highly electrified 22nd century, few people would choose such a backward tool.

This downward extension of the architectural style is common in the 22nd century, and in order to craze more than 10 billion people into Pan-Asia and preserve arable land for production, it is a historical necessity to open up living space downward. The rich live in skyscrapers. The poor live on the foundations of skyscrapers, which is the way the people's livelihood in the pre-war countries is far away.

Yao Yao, who had no combat power, stayed in the middle of the team. Jiang Chen, who was wearing a T-4, stood at the front of the queue, guarding the dark area with a rifle.

"Why do you say there are no zombies in this kind of building?" Jiang Chen asked Sun Jiao in a whisper on his private channel.

We have arrived at the office area. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of corpses here.

"Two possibilities. One possibility is that the people in this building were evacuated in time before the war, and the other possibility is that this may be some kind of xenomorph lair. Sun Jiao swept the black domain on the third underground floor with a tactical flashlight, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Which one do you prefer?"

"There is no corpse, it should be the first type?" Sun Jiao judged uncertainly.

"Q: What is the interrogative tone?"

"Because there is no such thing as absolutes in the wasteland. After so long, I feel like my instincts are a little rusty. Sun Jiao sighed.

Jiang Chen didn't answer, but secretly strengthened his vigilance, and the mechanical front sight wandered around every corner where danger might occur.

For some reason, the bottomless underground made him feel a little uneasy.

15 basement floors.

Stepping down the last step, the five of them finally reached the bottom. Jiang Chen opened the map and confirmed the location of the data center. Then take the lead and walk towards the hallway by the wall.

"Hell, what the hell is this?" one soldier whispered, poking the eggs on the wall with the muzzle of his gun.

"Don't mess around!"

Sun Jiao scolded on the public channel, and the soldier immediately withdrew his gun.

"What's that?" the flashlight shone over, Jiang Chen stopped, frowning at the rows of oval-shaped eggs the size of watermelons on the wall.

Sun Jiao stepped forward and took a closer look.

"I don't know if I've ever seen this thing, and it doesn't exist in the EP's xenomorph map. Do you want to collect some samples and go back for testing?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the disgustingly numbing eggs.

"Let's get it when we go. "If there is some connection between the eggs and their mothers, destroying them will lead to unnecessary variables.

Yao Yao looked around with some uneasiness. For some reason, she always had a sense of foreboding.

Sensing Yao Yao's uneasiness, Jiang Chen comforted him softly.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. ”

"Well, I heard strange noises. ”

"Voice?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. He didn't hear anything.

Yao Yao whispered, "A very strange noise. Well, maybe I heard it wrong, so please don't take it personally. ”

Is it a delusion?

Jiang Chen glanced at the corridor hesitantly. Now that they're all here, it's really not his style to go back empty-handed.

Five people continued on their way. It was still Jiang Chen walking in the front row. After seeing the eggs of that row of unknown creatures, no one dared to take it lightly. They all paid two hundred percent attention, and their rifles were carefully guarded against possible threats.

Yao Yao was still clinging to Jiang Chen's back.

Although his temperature was not felt on the cold armor shell. But the proximity still made her feel a little reassured.

"Damn, there are eggs like this everywhere. A soldier cursed, pointing his gun at the glass of the hallway window, and the flashlight under the muzzle illuminated the dark room, which was filled with rows of large egg masses.

"Try not to alarm them, and get a quick fix. Jiang Chen ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

After passing through the last porch, the five finally arrived at the data center.

In the center of the circular room is a four-sided display with a defunct chassis and sky lanterns hanging from the curved dome. The floor was littered with paper documents, fragments of silica touchpads, and stubble of ash that creaked when stepped on.

Walking into the room, Yao Yao stretched out his little hand and gently pressed it on his left chest.

The voice was a little closer.

For some reason, the faint noise made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She just wanted to say it, but gritted her teeth and held back. Although she enjoyed Jiang Chen's care for her, she still didn't want him to treat herself as a child who needed to be cared for everywhere.

Two soldiers stood guard at the door, and Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao stepped forward with Yao Yao.

Sun Jiao took out the crystalline fuel rod hanging in the trunk and plugged it into the server's backup power supply. The faint current sound reminds me that after many years, the chassis flashes a pale green indicator again.

"Let's get started. Jiang Chen looked at Yao Yao encouragingly.

Yao Yao nodded earnestly, and then walked to the computer.

However, at this moment, the suspended four-sided screen lit up.

A familiar face appears in the center of the screen.

"It was a surprise that we met again. ”

Looking at Jiang Chen, who was full of astonishment, Lin Chaoen said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
