791 Restaurant leading to the abyss
Knock, knock, knock.
The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed in Vault 137, and Lin Chi, his special forces, and two followers followed behind the cylindrical robot "Mr. Bang Bang" through the long corridor.
At this time, everyone was vigilantly observing the surroundings, and the engineer's heart was about to rise to his throat. Having participated in the construction of the shelter before, he naturally knew very well that the scale of the shelter now was very different from the situation when he built it......
"How is this possible...... "The engineer muttered to himself, his voice full of disbelief.
Even if Lin Chi hadn't studied architecture, he could completely see that it was impossible for such a huge underground shelter to be built without anyone knowing!
Even if this is the outskirts of Kayaland, if a shelter is to be built two hundred meters underground, many people will notice.
So, how exactly does Vault Tech do it?
Lin Chi frowned and stared at the metal wall beside him, only to see that part of the wall seemed to be glowing with a little oil, he reached out and touched the wall, and a cold and sticky touch came from his fingertips.
"What's that?"
The others also noticed the strange liquid on the wall, which was colorless and odorless, but a bit like saliva, and looked uncomfortable.
"To prevent the walls from rusting, we use lubricating oil." As if noticing everyone's doubts, Mr. Bang Bang explained.
"This thing doesn't feel like oil to the touch." Lin Chi whispered.
On closer inspection, the liquid of unknown composition is not evenly coated on the metal walls, but rather resembles irregular cobwebs, which look like marks left by something crawling over them.
INTERVIEWER If it was really oiled on the wall, it wouldn't look like this, what the hell is going on here?
Click......
The faint sound of the spherical camera hidden in the wall makes it appear that even though you are in an underground shelter, the footage is still being broadcast to the audience. In this way, the interior of this shelter is also judged by the game to be part of the "adventure".
Could it really be a boss fight?
Just when Lin Chi raised his vigilance, Mr. Bang Bang had already turned the corner in front of him, and the eyes of everyone who had passed by suddenly opened up, and then what appeared in his sight was actually a luxurious restaurant.
"Huh?" Woods's voice was a little stunned, and the others all looked confused.
Rather than the cold steel tunnels, the dining room is shrouded in warm, dim yellow lighting, and the interior is decorated in a standard European style, with intricately carved wallpaper and mirror-smooth stone floors.
In the center of the room is a white oak dining table with a few chairs on display. An ebony wine cabinet leans against the wall on the right-hand side, and through the glass you can see that many delicate-looking wine bottles are displayed, as well as wine glasses and various utensils.
"No vodka." Crazy Ivan shook his head.
"Am I dreaming......" Dariam rubbed her eyes vigorously.
Not only this girl, Lin Chi also felt that the picture in front of him was a little unrealistic. I had been wandering in the bloody hell of Kayalande before, and suddenly came to this kind of place, and the strong contrast even reached the point of being uncomfortable.
The style of the restaurant in the shelter contrasts sharply with the city of Kayaland, which has been bombed to rubble and littered with dead bodies. However, although Lin Chi and the soldiers of SOG were still alert, the engineer, who had always been nervous, seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief, and directly pulled a chair and sat on it.
"Kudos to Vault Technologies, it's finally time to take a break!" The Engineer lay on the table, his arms around his head.
"Be careful." Lin Chi reminded.
"I know, don't worry......" The engineer's tone was perfunctory.
For an ordinary person like him, the series of tragedies he had witnessed before had long exceeded the limit of his patience. Even though he knew that this place was not very safe, the engineer who was about to collapse was still "paralyzed" at the table with a sense of relief, and did not want to move anymore.
The three SOG soldiers walked slowly into the restaurant with their guns in their hands, and pointed their guns at the wooden door on the other side of the restaurant......
"Welcome!"
An enthusiastic female voice floated over, and a slender figure appeared in everyone's sight, which made Lin Chi, who had been "looking at each other" with the corpse for most of the time before, couldn't help but light up.
The woman who caught her eye did not look at all like a resident of a shelter hiding from the war, but more like a waitress in a high-end restaurant, wearing a white top and a long black skirt, her short white hair tied up at the back of her head, and a shallow smile on her smooth and fair face.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the Vault 137 cafeteria, sit down and grab a bite to eat!"
Even though the muzzle of the SOG soldier's gun was still pointed at her, the woman didn't have any fear at all, and was still smiling sweetly, looking dedicated.
Hearing this, everyone present did not speak, and finally the engineer lying on the table broke the silence:
"Ah, I want to drink some water."
"No problem, I'll prepare it for you!" As she spoke, the woman turned and walked through the wooden door behind her, as if she had gone to prepare dinner.
ββ¦β¦β
If this kind of thing happened in the normal map, Lin Chi would have sat down for a drink, but now...... In a place like Kayaland, such a restaurant and waiter are too weird.
Lin Chi nodded to Woods and Mason beside him, and the three of them raised their guns and surrounded the wooden door, and before they could reach the door, the woman walked out again, holding a black tray in her hand, and a transparent glass was placed on it.
"Give it to me, I'm dying of thirst...... 's eyes lit up with excitement.
It's a pity that the soldiers present naturally won't let this woman go so easily.
"Please don't get in my way!" The woman's face was still smiling, and her tone of voice was still gentle, but her words were slightly hostile.
"Wait a minute, we still have some questions." Lin Chi smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed at the slightly bulging piece of the woman's right face, and asked, "What's wrong with your face?" β
"Toothache." The woman with a single ponytail said succinctly.
"It is impossible for a person with a toothache whose face is swollen to the point of smiling." Lin Chi took a meaningful step forward and looked directly into the gray eyes of the white-haired woman: "I am also a person who has experienced severe toothache, don't try to hide it from me." β
"Ah, me too...... I used to eat too much chocolate when I was at home, and it really hurt to death. Darien raised her right hand to indicate that she had experienced it too.
As the saying goes, "a toothache is not a disease, it hurts to kill". If this woman's toothache is so bad that her face is swollen, I am afraid that she will not even be able to speak, and it will definitely not be so easy.
"Also, are you dressed too tightly?" Lin Chi set his gaze on the black glove on the woman's hand.
"Guests want to drink water." The woman also tried to pass, but was blocked by Woods and Mason.
"Don't move, I suspect there's something wrong with the water." Mason aimed the muzzle of the G11 at the woman's left chest and gave the ultimatum in a deep voice:
"Squat down with your head in your hands, put the water on the ground, hurry."
The woman had a lot of backbone, and she didn't mean to be obedient at all, but continued to hold the tray with one hand, trying to get around the blockade of the three men in front of her, but in vain.
"What are you doing?" The engineer said impatiently: "Don't be embarrassed, it's not easy to do this business......
"You dare to drink the water in this kind of place, I'm afraid you're insane." Weaver, who was standing next to the engineer, said.
With the exception of the overstimulated and delirious engineers, everyone present could see that there was something wrong with the water. The guy who would eat in such a weird restaurant can probably only be described as "mentally retarded".
"Can we go into the kitchen?" Lin Chi pointed to the wooden door behind the woman.
There was an indescribably strange atmosphere in the dining room, and at that moment, Mr. Bang Bang, who had been silent until now, suddenly began to move, blocking his steel body in front of the wooden door.
"The chef doesn't want to meet people, please don't embarrass him." The robot made an icy sound.
Seeing this, Weaver immediately stood in the passage and began to observe the passage behind for ambushes. Crazy Ivan had an extra red "gum bomb" in his hand, and even Darien pulled out her MP7 submachine gun.
Noticing that the atmosphere at the scene began to become tense, the engineer, who was still a little unconscious, finally came to his senses and muttered in a low voice: "Don't be so serious, right?" β
Lin Chi, who was armed with a dark vulture pistol and a boning knife, focused his gaze on the woman's face and asked, "Are you a local?" Or have you been living in a shelter? β
"I don't have to answer your question." The woman shook her head.
Although it was not obvious just now, through this temptation, Lin Chi had already noticed that when this woman spoke, she basically did not open her mouth, and her voice was basically squeezed out of her mouth, but the tone was no different from that of ordinary people opening their mouths to speak, and there was nothing strange at all.
- Is there anything in her mouth that can't be seen?
Thinking of this, Lin Chi stared at the "lump" on the woman's right cheek, and suddenly noticed that the location of the lump seemed to have changed slightly.
It wasn't noticeable, but with his attention, the small changes couldn't escape his eyes.
Noticing this detail, he looked at the woman's seemingly healthy complexion and somewhat dull eyes. A terrifying possibility suddenly appeared in Lin Chi's mind:
Could this be......
Recalling the transparent viscous liquid on the wall when he remembered it, Lin Chi stepped back violently, and without hesitation, a shot hit the woman's face, and shouted to the others around him: "Hurry up!" β
Bang!
The fire and smoke that broke out at close range made everyone's vision appear a little blind spot, but the woman who was directly shot in the head did not bleed from the wound, but spewed out a transparent viscous liquid.
"Ahhh
Witnessing the ensuing horrific scene, Darien screamed loudly, and the Engineer fell straight out of his seat, rolling backwards.
"Soviet Mother, I may be completely insane!" Crazy Ivan rubbed his only remaining eye vigorously:
Several oval-shaped bugs with black shells crawled out of the wound on the woman's cheek and quickly occupied her face, but this was only the beginning, and then a large number of bugs crawled out of her ears, mouth, nostrils, and even a few black claws protruding from under the eye sockets.
The shape of those bugs is a bit like a large version of the rat woman, commonly known as "watermelon worms", with dozens of tiny legs writhing under the oval shell.
βHoly-shitβ¦β¦ Is this a chemical or biological weapon? Even Woods, who had been in a hundred battles, was so shocked that he retreated.
The glove on the woman's right hand fell off, and countless insects began to crawl out of it, this guy was not a human at all, just an empty shell occupied by insects after death!
- So, you were talking to bugs just now?
Thinking that this insect could actually make a human sound, Lin Chi also showed a stunned expression on his face, and directly retreated to the door of the restaurant, took out the SPAS-12 shotgun loaded with dragon's breath bullets from his backpack, and fired at the woman.
When it comes to the efficiency of insecticide, it is undoubtedly the highest in flames. The blazing tongue of fire instantly covered the white oak table in the dining room, as well as the woman's body, and the black bugs that were originally crawling over quickly were also temporarily contained.
Before I could see what was going on in the restaurant, Mr. Bang's cold voice had already sounded from inside:
"You're attacking the inhabitants of Vault 137 and starting a dismantling."
Before he finished speaking, the glass of the wine cabinet next to him suddenly shattered, and a large number of insects crawled out of the opaque cup and flanked the front of the restaurant, and the black side looked like a shadow that had pressed over.
"Run." Lin Chi turned around and ran away as he spoke, and the others immediately retreated.
Faced with this disgusting image, they didn't have the slightest intention of staying, except that Crazy Ivan threw an incendiary bomb into the dining room with great interest, and then turned around and hugged his head.
"I've never seen anything like this in a Siberian labor camp! It's scary! Crazy Evan shouted.
"Which labor camp are you from? Meet Victor. Rezenov? I spent time in a labor camp called 'Vorkuta'. Mason didn't forget to look for his "cellmate" at this time.
"Never heard of that name!" As he spoke, Madness Ivan threw a Molotov cocktail into the back passage, trying to stop the bugs from pursuing.
"Stop chatting, run!" Woods shouted, "You don't want to be occupied by that thing!" β
After witnessing the unbelievable horror scene, they were also engineers who jumped faster than rabbits at this time, and they still looked like they had kidney deficiency before, as if they had triggered the hidden "potential" in their bodies, and their sprint speed was even faster than that of the SOG soldiers.
"Ahh
The Engineer's terrible screams echoed through the metal tunnels. Looking at the insect tide that broke through the smoke behind him, a question suddenly appeared in Lin Chi's heart:
"Is it really okay to broadcast this kind of picture live?"
He complained secretly in his heart as he sped up and rushed through the cold corridor.
