Chapter 217: When things go wrong, there must be demons
"It's an honor to be with you, Major Sarah." Murong Feng saluted.
"Hehe, what a serious little guy." The red-haired lady licked her sexy red lips and said with a smile, "Don't be too nervous, soldier, just think of it as a hike." ”
At this time, Rhine stepped forward and handed an electronic map to Murong Feng, saying, "This is a road map, and it has marked several areas where that monster often haunts. Major Sarah happens to be passing through two of these areas, and if you're lucky, you might just go on a relaxing hike, complete a mission, and return to base safely, as Major Sarah said. ”
"Monsters?" Murong Feng did not let his guard down, grabbed the key words in the Rhine dialect, and asked, "What monster?" Aren't we going to catch an infected person? ”
Rhine shrugged, "Three days ago he was an infected, but now it's a monster. That's why the order was given to kill, and you just had to come back with its head. ”
"Okay, I got it." Murong Feng pursed his lips and took the task, and then shared it with the other members of the group. Shadow Blade frowned deeply after reading the mission introduction, and when the three 'ghosts' followed Rhine into the camp, Shadow Blade stepped forward to stop Murong Feng, and said suspiciously, "Sir, are you sure you want to take on this team task?" ”
"Team Mission?!" Murong Feng was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened the task list and took a look, and suddenly almost couldn't hold back his scolding. I saw that the original team task suddenly became a team task with a minimum requirement of forty people. The difficulty is vast!
"Tricked!" Murong Feng gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "No wonder the system is so kind, and suddenly brushed three sixth-order elites as nannies for us!" The boss of the joint squad mission has soared directly to the commander level monster! ”
"What then? Sir, are we still going? Shadowblade hesitated.
"It's too late to think about it now. Didn't you look at the failure penalty at the end of the mission? Murong Feng covered his forehead and sighed, "This is the military's task. Equivalent to military orders. Accepting the task and then regretting it is equivalent to disobeying the military order! You should understand the consequences! ”
"Hey. I said, how do you bother with what to do? It's just a game.,It's a big deal to hang back and find someone to kill back! Yukihime said without any nervousness.
This is indeed the case when everyone thinks about it, but it is not the real world. Without the pressure of life and death, all problems are no longer a problem. It's a big deal to fail the task and take it over again, ten people can't beat it, so it's called a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand people who still don't believe that they can't push down a boss?
When everyone thought about it, they suddenly felt much more relaxed. Murong Feng shook his head with a dumb smile, and entered the camp tent with a curtain.
At this moment, in the tent, Rhine turned on a map projection on the table. The westernmost side is the Frost Pass where everyone is located, and to the east, there is a vast green area that stretches to the blue sea. And there is a specially marked coordinate point on the seashore - the crash point of the battleship's power core! With this as the center, countless red circles marked with infection stained most of the rainforest red, and at the same time, they continued to spread outward. One of the outermost infected areas is about to spread to the frosty mountain pass! And there are more than a dozen skull markers scattered in the red infected area!
"That's probably what the reconnaissance team is facing." Rhine pointed to the map projection and said to Major Sarah, "All areas marked by skeletons are heavily infested areas, and it is best for you to avoid these areas on this trip. Because in these places, it has been proven that there are mutant monsters that have been deeply infected! If I were you, I would definitely get away from these places. ”
Major Sarah nodded and said, "Well, it's noted. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to? ”
Rhein pulled out the projection memory card and handed it to Sarah, then said, "You just need to remember that once you enter the infected area, don't expose your body directly to the air, no matter what happens. ”
"Is there anything new in the Special Research Room?" Major Sarah was surprised.
Rhine shook his head and said, "No. The reconnaissance team did not have permission from above to go deep into the heavily infected area to collect samples. Then they sent your ghost squad. Rhine shrugged his shoulders and said, "Obviously, those old guys above think that the most simple and direct method can completely destroy those deadly infections. But apparently some people don't think much of it. So there is the task of their group. Rhine pointed to Murong Feng and his party, "Several doctors in the special research room are very interested in viruses that can bring living things back to life. So I hope they can bring back some precious samples before you go. ”
Murong Feng quietly glanced at one of the three ghost squads. A very burly guy two meters tall. The guy and the other ghost were silent all the time in a tactical helmet, except that instead of a weapon, he was carrying a large gray crate. There is no marking on the box. But Murong Feng knew very well what these ghost squads were, so she could guess what was in the box! Murong Feng couldn't help but glance at the box more, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, if it weren't for being in a military base. Murong Feng had the urge to snatch the box and slip away!
The burly ghost team member seemed to be aware of Murong Feng's gaze, and turned his head to glance at Murong Feng. Then he turned back and continued to be silent. Of course, it is also possible that he is whispering to his companion next to him, but because of the cover of the helmet, Murong Feng can't notice it.
"Alright, then I wish you a safe return, Major." At this time, Rhine saluted Sarah. Sarah returned the salute and waved her big hand, "Let's go!" Then he turned and went out of the tent.
Murong Feng nodded at Rhine and turned around to follow.
Then everyone checked their equipment again, and Murong Feng's ten-person team followed the three ghost soldiers out of the high wall and into the rainforest area.
Rainforests and forests are two very different worlds. If the high-altitude forest area is a paradise, then the mysterious rainforest area is a hell.
The heat, humidity and stuffiness are the biggest characteristics of the rainforest, and in such an environment, it is most likely to breed all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes and ants. In addition to this, the lush vegetation is also a major obstacle. It takes a lot of physical effort just to open the way. Not to mention the ferocious beasts that are everywhere! Of course, the deadliest thing in the rainforest is the miasma that can't be seen or touched!
Lush plants wither over time and form a layer of decay on the ground. These decaying vegetation will be broken down into nutrients by the abundant rainwater and returned to the earth anew. At the same time, a large number of harmful gases are emitted during the decomposition process. And these harmful gases are known as miasma. Once the human body inhales these miasma, it can cause suffocation due to hypoxia at best, and direct poisoning and death. Not to mention that these miasma are now mixed with a large number of highly dangerous and deadly viruses. If you rush into this rainforest without all-round protection measures, it is completely a rhythm of finding death every minute.
Fortunately, the thirteen people who acted together were all veterans of many battles except Yukihime, and they knew how to fight in the rainforest area.
Since the trio with the ghost team only walked together but did not belong to each other, Murong Feng couldn't order each other, so just ask these three to follow behind her team, and the matter of opening the way was left to a few veterans in the team. It seems that for the sake of several officials, in fact, Murong Feng secretly used these three as shields without a trace.
Walking through the lush rainforest can be physically demanding. Because there is no road that you can easily walk through. You have to be on the lookout for deadly dangers! Predators in the rainforest, on the other hand, are known for their cunning and never jump out of front to attack their prey, either by staying on the branches of trees and attacking them from the top of their heads, or by waiting for the prey to come by and attack from behind.
Therefore, a team marching in the rainforest is much safer to open the way than the one behind the palace. Of course, the premise is that the person who opens the way does not lead the team directly into the predator's lair, otherwise no one will be able to escape.
The red-haired royal sister obviously saw through Murong Feng's careful thoughts, but she didn't pierce Murong Feng on the spot, but smiled meaningfully and nodded in agreement with Murong Feng's arrangement, and followed the team silently.
At this moment, three assault soldiers are leading the way, and one is in front with a pistol in his left hand. In his right hand, he holds a knife to open the way. Behind him, one left and one right, followed by two assault soldiers with guns to guard the left and right. A few meters behind the three of them were Murong Feng and the others, and the two medical soldiers and Xue Ji walked in the middle. The other assaults guarded the left and right, and the Shadowblade walked at the rear, controlling the scouts scattered around. And then there's the Ghost Squad trio.
Along the way, except for Yukihime's excited chatter, everyone else moved forward silently. Murong Feng really couldn't stand this girl who was a little too energetic, so he scared her and said, "You can't stop chattering, beware of the little monster jumping out and biting your ass first!" ”
Yukihime snorted twice, and really stopped talking. It's just a pair of eyes that are dripping, and then secretly turns on the camera function, ready to take pictures of everything he saw and heard on this trip as a souvenir.
"There is a situation! Dangerous creatures spotted at 2 o'clock! The Shadow Blade suddenly spoke. Everyone stopped their progress in unison, and quickly raised the muzzle of the gun pointing down at the dense forest on the right hand! Only Xue Ji reacted a beat slower, and directly hit Murong Feng's back, and then panicked and raised the gun to the right, but when he raised the rifle, he also scratched the teammates next to him, making the veteran very speechless and leaned to the side, otherwise Xue Ji raised the muzzle of the gun just against the back of his head!
"Don't make a mess, just go and stand with the two of them!" Murong Feng ordered without replying. Xue Ji pursed her lips aggrievedly and silently retreated to the two medics.
At this time, the Shadow Blade marked the approximate location of the target on everyone's helmet goggles, and then said in a deep voice, "There is only one target, it is estimated that it is ambushing the prey that passes by." It's far away from us, and you can get around. ”
In fact, the monster was less than fifty meters away from the team in a straight line, but in the lush rainforest, let alone fifty meters, in some places it would be obscured by dense vegetation even a few meters away. It is impossible to discern with the naked eye what dangers lurk in the path you are traveling.
"Get out of the way!" Murong Feng decisively gave the order. The veteran who opened the way immediately changed the direction of travel and bypassed the monster. Then the crowd tiptoed on.
The Shadow Blade always maintained a high level of vigilance to monitor the monster dozens of meters away, but the monster did not move until the end, quietly lurking in the grass without moving, obviously passing by the team could not arouse its desire to hunt. Hope.
This was the first threatening monster the team encountered after entering the rainforest, and it was as if they were being cared for by Lady Luck during the subsequent journey, and they did not encounter a single threatening monster again. It seems to be a good thing, but it makes everyone's hearts lift.
After all, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and after walking in the lush rainforest for a long time, I didn't encounter a monster or monster, there must be something wrong!
Even Yukihime, who was overly energetic, noticed the strange atmosphere around her at this moment and quieted down. Murong Feng looked at the surrounding environment, raised his hand and signaled, "Stop advancing, everyone rest in place for 15 minutes!" Shadow, put a few bee scouts to the front to explore the way. ”
"Yes!" In response, everyone dispersed, forming a vigilant formation and finding a place to rest. The three members of the Ghost Squad also rested in silence.
At this time, Xue Ji wanted to open the helmet goggles to breathe, but was stopped by Murong Feng and said, "This is already very close to the infected area, if you don't want to be infected and turn into an ugly monster, just lift the goggles." ”
Xue Ji's face turned pale when she heard this, and then she snorted angrily, and then took out a bottle of nutrient solution and inserted it into the card slot on her waist, and a straw built into the card slot was connected to the inside of the helmet, so that she could lick the suction mouth and then suck the nutrient solution in the jar as long as she snorted her mouth. This allows the soldier to replenish his stamina without opening the helmet. After all, not all planets will have oxygen on the interstellar battlefield!
Of course, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the soldier can only drink nutrient solution and cannot eat other food. And the nutrient solution is okay to drink occasionally. However, ordinary people who have not received professional training will feel very uncomfortable when they drink too much. To put it bluntly, it is definitely not as comfortable as drinking a stomach full of water. Even if this water can supplement the consumption of all life activities of the human body. After all, the human body is a delicate instrument that has evolved over millions of years, and if you suddenly change its eating habits, it will definitely cause a series of uncomfortable symptoms.
At this time, Murong Feng half-squatted down and reached out and pressed his wrist, and a map was automatically projected into the helmet goggles. The Shadow Blade stepped forward and said, "Sir, ten kilometers further forward is the area where the target last came in. But that area is close to a heavily infected area. ”
Murong Feng looked at the map mark, the target area pointed by the Shadow Blade was at the confluence of the two rivers, and a large lake was a large lake that followed the merged river to the south for more than ten kilometers. In the map marker, there is a large skull marker floating on the surface of the lake! (To be continued......)
