Chapter 16 (I) Strange Objects Underground
"Commando, we are anti-chemical warfare group A, I am the commander of the field, please answer." The commander walked slowly towards the front, followed by the team leader and the specialist, and on the left side stood two soldiers of Group A covering each other, everyone moved very slowly, because the visibility at this time was almost zero, even if the lights were turned to the brightest, they could not see the situation from about ten centimeters in front of them.
"Sir, I suggest ......" Group Leader A spoke again, but this time he didn't say anything more than he said himself.
"What do you want to say?" The commander did not stop.
"I suggest you stay, I'll go up alone to find out the situation, maybe the commandos are all over, and the terrorists may have an ambush below." Team Leader A was already sweating, and his mask was hazy from the heat in his body.
The commander stopped, unable to make up his mind for a moment, and just as he was thinking, two black shadows in the yellow mist spread like snakes along the top of the cave, clinging to the cave wall and approaching the heads of the two soldiers on the left, and then rushed down like lightning, and then retracted again, and the moment they were retracted, they scattered like smoke and dust, and disappeared into the yellow mist.
"Ahh
As the three of them fell, two rings of white light flashed behind them in succession, and when they turned back, they could clearly see that only two skeletons of the two soldiers were left standing there, still holding their guns. But nothing else remained.
Soon, the yellow mist that was instantly dispelled by the high temperature slowly enveloped that position again, and the two skeletons disappeared from the sight of the three of them.
"Sir, did you see that?" The team leader's eyes were still on the spot.
The commander got up, pointed to the instrument in the expert's hand and said, "Sir, now, you should do your duty!" β
"What duty?" The experts are already stupid, and their minds go blank.
The commander grabbed him and said, "We are close to the source of the Yellow Mist Poison Gas, you need to analyze what this poison gas is and how to deal with it!" β
said. The commander shoved the specialist aside. He said to Group A: "I don't think it's a terrorist attack, it's not a terrorist's doing. β
"Yes, sir, I think so too......" The team leader pointed his gun forward. If terrorists have such weapons. We're done a long time ago. It's kind of paranormal. β
"Command, I'm the field commander......" When the commander tried to contact the command, he found that the communication was lost. The "rustling" sound from his intercom seemed to be mixed with a strange sound, like someone talking.
The expert on one side was fiddling with the instrument, and the instrument made a strange sound, and the commander immediately pressed the expert's shoulder, raised his finger to signal the others not to speak, not to make any sound, and then pointed to the position next to his ear and whispered: "Listen carefully, there seems to be someone talking in the intercom, maybe our channel has been invaded." β
"Stop, destroy, stay awayβ" The commander, the team leader, and the expert finally heard the three words coming from the communicator, and the speaker still had a thick phlegm in his throat, like a toad imitating human speech.
"Sir, did you hear that?" The team leader involuntarily took a step back and looked at the commander, at this time the expert was already unsteady, holding on to the wall and slowly retreating towards the back.
"Shhhhh
"Stop, destroy, stay, ruinsβ" The voice said four words again, and then began repeating them.
Hearing this, the commander swallowed and said to Group A leader: "Soldier, you now return to the ground with this gentleman." β
"Sir! What are you doing? Team Leader A immediately stepped forward.
"Give me the instrument." The commander took the instrument from the expert's hand, "You just have to carry out the order, quickly!" β
"No, sir, we can't leave you alone!" Team Leader A refused to leave, but by this time the expert had already taken steps and ran towards the position he had come, and from time to time he let out an exclamation like a woman, which made the two soldiers feel extremely disgusted.
"Execute the order!" After grabbing the CM901 assault rifle in the soldier's hand, the commander pushed him away, then hung the instrument on his waist and slowly walked forward with the gun in his hand.
Team Leader A stood there, watching his commander disappear into the thick yellow mist, so he had to turn around and run to the rappelling point, leading the experts back to the ground, while constantly calling the command for reinforcements.
The commander, who was walking slowly in the thick fog, walked forward, and did not go far before he found the three fire trucks that had fallen due to the crack in the ground, two of the three fire engines had been turned into wreckage, and the front of the car was burned to the ground, only one of which was still intact.
The Commander's feet were on the slippery ground, which was covered with water from the fire truck, and he kept walking with a gun, and as he passed the complete fire truck, he suddenly stopped, and slowly turned his head to look at the driver's cab, because he saw a man lying on the steering wheel.
The commander thought he was dazzled, and took a closer look, and then stared at the two fire trucks in front of him, and a question came out of his mind - the cabs of the two fire trucks in front of him were burned to the point that there was nothing left, and it was obvious that after the vehicles fell, the firefighters in the cab inhaled the yellow fog and then changed and exploded, but the firefighters in the third car did not change?
Thinking of this, the commander strapped his gun, climbed into the fire truck, pried the door open with the fire axe next to him, and then dragged out the body of the dead firefighter sitting in it.
The commander then went around to the other side, touched the wall there, and found that there were burn marks, and there were several places, and immediately understood that there were two reasons why the front of the fire truck was not burned, one was after the ground cracked. Everyone except the driver fell away from the fire truck, and the second was that the firefighter who was driving did not change after inhaling the yellow mist.
Wish! It's hope! Maybe you can find a way to avoid being eroded by the yellow fog, maybe this firefighter is born with some kind of antibody. The commander crouched down in front of the firefighter's corpse and began to examine it in detail, turning on the recording function on the device.
"The body of a firefighter was found in the cave, and the preliminary examination should have been that the ribs pierced into the lungs and caused death, but the person did not die on the spot after falling, indicating that he also inhaled yellow mist poisonous gas, but the strange thing is that the firefighter did not produce any changes, there were no abscesses on his face, and his body did not appear translucent or transparent. There are no other weird manifestations of the body either. Maybe it's a breakthrough. After the commander finished recording, he immediately took off the device, turned it on the small drone, and then released it. Let it return to Command on its own. He carried the corpse and walked back.
The commander fears that something will happen to him. So let the recording go back first, and I'm carrying the body myself, if there is an accident. At least one of these leads can be returned for someone else to investigate.
The commander, who was panting and running with the corpse of a fireman, looked back into the depths of the cave from time to time, although he had the courage to move on, but the clues hidden in the corpse were more useful, but the strange voice began to come from the intercom again, repeating the words repeatedly.
After a long time, the commander finally returned to the rope drop point, immediately crouched down and tied the corpse to the rope buckle, then hung his auxiliary equipment on the corpse's waist, pressed the start button, and let it automatically drag the corpse up. He was waiting for rescue, because without the assistance of equipment, it was impossible to climb that high with just two arms, after all, he was no longer young.
Just as he looked up and watched the corpse disappear into the sky, he heard a strange sound from the cave in the distance, like snakes crawling, he immediately pointed his gun forward, and at the same time tugged a hanging rope, hoping that the people above would come down as soon as possible to rescue.
The sound of snakes crawling was getting closer, and the fog ahead was fading away as it grew louder. Soon the commander's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily lowered his gun, looking at the cave, which was twice the size of the subway tunnel, and there was strange slime hanging from all sides of the cave, and there seemed to be some kind of reptilian egg in the slime.
The egg-like thing squirms every 2 seconds, all at this eerie frequency.
"What is this?" The Commander approached the slime eggs hanging from one side of the wall with his gun, and he remembered walking through the wall himself, but the wall was dry and he hadn't touched anything like it.
"Huhuhu-" A rough pant came from a distance, and the commander immediately crouched down, extinguished the light on his body, and immediately changed the location, and at the same time took off the lamp on his right shoulder, turned it on, and threw it into the distance.
The shoulder lamp rolled in the air, and at the end of it fell to the ground, and the moment the lamp hit the ground, he saw something pass by by the light, and it looked like a rope, no, like a snake!
Snakes? How can there be snakes? Is the slime an egg laid by a snake? How can it be? The eggs were too big, twice as big as an ostrich egg. The commander touched the white phosphorus bullet on his waist, fastened its safety ring to his finger, and slowly walked forward with the gun, looking around, ready to make tactical evasions at any time.
The crawling sound began to sound again, and at this time, the voice of the strange man in his headphones was getting louder and louder, more and more clear, he stopped, and the inexplicable fear made him stiff in an instant, he was a veteran, he had participated in many overseas battles, and he had been captured by cruel enemy soldiers on the battlefield, but he was not afraid of the long knife in the opponent's hand that was about to swing to the throat.
"Whew-" Another rough pant came from the front, and at the same time a wave of heat rushed towards his face, and even he could feel the heat that seemed to burn him to the ground, even if he was wearing a gas mask. He subconsciously closed his eyes and turned his head sideways, and when he turned his head again, he finally saw the strange thing in front of him clearly.
"Oh my God, what is this?" The commander slowly straightened up, his hand holding the gun trembling, "There is such a huge monster under Philadelphia?" β
While the commander was talking to himself, the dark shadow of the monster had completely enveloped him...... (To be continued......)
