In the dim light, the dust swirls in the ubiquitous mist, like a lonely dancer.

The black mist, an exclusive product that exists only in the adversity, is the culprit of the gloomy environment. They absorb a lot of light and heat, making the world behind Kraft Gate always so dark and gloomy.

Next to the rusty iron cabinet with cardboard boxes and documents, a man in a red hazmat suit and a hooded helmet is rummaging through the contents of the cabinet. Those things don't know how many years they have existed, and when they are touched, they shatter and turn into ashes.

"This 127 Rebellion really disgusts me, you see, how similar it was to the civilization that once existed to us. Even if I see another me here, I won't be surprised. ”

Turning around, his tone was a little impatient: "What the hell is going on, Tianyang, can't you contact this team yet?" ”

There was a faint light on the suit, a miniature searchlight on the shoulder. The effective distance of the light is short, and the absorption of those black fogs in the air makes the light even dimmer.

With the help of the light, you can barely see that this is a room like an archive room.

The floor was littered with papers and messy footprints, and someone half-crouched on a thick stack of papers, fiddling with a standard communicator.

This radio-like instrument can be used for communication in the opposite world, sending and receiving data.

The built-in safety device prevents the last unauthorized snooping and consists of a receiving antenna, a conversion module, a hardening module, and a backup matrix circuitry.

Now, the person known as Tianyang is installing components on the communicator to enhance the transmission of signals.

Even so, the electronic noise from the communicator was a harbinger of the team's difficult prospects.

“... This is the fourth squad of the collection team, I am Tianyang, soldier code 1507, please answer when this team receives it. ”

After several attempts to no avail, Tianyang raised his head. In the light, you can see a childish face in the helmet.

"I can't get in touch, Captain, maybe we're too deep and we're out of the limit of the communication terminal."

Not far away, someone kicked a shelf, pointed at the captain of the red protective suit and shouted, "It's all your fault, Qin Wu!" If it weren't for your hot-headedness, we wouldn't have been cut off by those damned prowlers right now! ”

Captain Qin Wu pointed to the fourth team member guarding the door and said, "Can I be blamed for this?" If it weren't for Dongyan's bastard, who swore that he had found the signal of the Star Pillar, I would have rushed you over? ”

The team member at the door defended: "My digital model is not wrong, judging by the recent activity data of the Prowler, there must be a star pillar in the vicinity!" ”

Qin Wu rushed over and grabbed his protective suit: "Then tell me, where is the star pillar now?" ”

"Quiet!"

Tianyang raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, which was a vigilant gesture.

All members of the gathering team, including the captain, looked nervously out the door.

The passage outside the door, the walls are mottled and overgrown with mold.

Around the corner not far away, some strange sounds were heard.

Like the dying gasps of a seriously ill patient, or like the low roar of a wounded beast.

Tianyang took out a glow stick from the toolkit behind his waist.

Qin Wu became nervous: "What are you going to do?" ”

"We need light, don't worry, Captain, the Prowler doesn't respond to light sources."

Tianyang bent the glow stick and threw it out, and the glow stick fell to the corner of the passage. The chemicals begin to react, and the cool light gradually brightens.

In the cold blue-gray light, everyone could see clearly, and several figures appeared on the wall around the corner.

The figures were extremely twisted, staggering, wandering down the hallway on the other side.

Caught in the corner, one hand was caught in the corner, and the skin of that hand festered, secreting a dark green pus. They were sticky, dripping to the ground, sizzling.

It's like water dripping onto a hot rock...

The hearts of the collectors were raised, but fortunately, the hand quickly retracted.

"It's the prowlers, it's them!" The team member named Dongyan stepped back again and again, "Captain, let's go quickly." I don't want to get caught with that stuff! ”

"But how?" Another member shouted, "Even if we rush through this hallway, there are more prowlers down there." Downstairs, on the street, in every building, they're everywhere! ”

"Shut up!"

Qin Wu tightened the attacker's rifle in his hand, his eyes flickering: "It seems that this can only be the case." ”

He turned around and stretched out his hand towards Tianyang: "Recruit, give me your gun!" ”

In the hooded helmet, Tianyang's face was obviously full of hesitation.

He subconsciously clenched the rifle in his hand.

The Raider rifle was standard for the gathering team, a live rifle that fired solid bullets, albeit with limited power and a clumsy body.

But if the distance is right, it can still break the will cage of the prowler, and that is the only way to stop these dark people.

So handing over the gun is tantamount to handing over your own life.

At this point, the glow of the glow stick begins to fade. In the fading light, a foot stepped on it, completely extinguishing the cold light around the corner.

The twisted figures began to walk, and in the dark passages, the pale light of the cage of the will of the prowlers resembled the ghostly fire dancing in the graveyard!

"Quick! I'll stop them, you go first! ”

Qin Wu urged: "I need enough firepower, damn, can I still harm you!" ”

Tianyang bit his lip: "Okay." ”

The teenager handed over his rifle, as well as a magazine.

Qin Wu took it and waved his hand: "You leave from the window, climb up, and find another way to retreat." Tianyang, you go first! ”

Tianyang nodded, turned and ran towards the window.

before he opened his legs.

Bang!

The boy's whole body shook, and the blood spurting from his right thigh was reflected on the mask of the helmet like a blooming flower.

One stumbled, and the boy fell to the ground.

This sudden change stunned the other two team members.

Qin Wu roared: "Why are you still stunned, come with me." There are too many prowlers in the building, and now that his hazmat suit is torn, the release of type B pheromones will attract those dark mongrels, this is our only chance! ”

I see!

I don't know if it was because of the injury or because he was betrayed, the boy only felt cold in his hands and feet.

Anger burned in his chest, rushed through his veins, and finally turned into a loud roar.

"Qin Wu, why!"

In the helmet, Qin Wu sneered: "How can there be so many whys, Lao Tzu is a citizen of the fortress and has a noble status." You should be honored that a dog like you who lives in the lower classes now has the opportunity to die for me! ”

"You bastard!"

Tianyang wanted to prop up his body and fight hard with Qin Wu.

The jet-black muzzle of the attacker's rifle stopped him.

At the same time, it also calmed him down. Tianyang realizes that anger can't change anything, and only by thinking calmly can he have a chance to live.

Qin Wu pointed his gun at the young man, and then looked at the other two: "If you don't leave, if you don't leave, stay here to accompany him!" ”

Dropping these words, Qin Wu walked towards the window.

The two team members, you look at me, I look at you, and finally choose to leave with the captain.

"Wait!"

Tianyang took out a dagger, the tip of the knife turned upside down, and pointed at his heart.

"If you want to go, give me a first-aid kit and two units of survival supplies!"

Qin Wu suddenly became anxious: "Why do you still have a knife in your hand!" ”

The dagger is not included in the standard equipment of the gathering team.

Tianyang sneered, this dagger was given to him by his mother for self-defense before he set off. In order to buy this alloy dagger, she spent all her savings.

The young man carefully hid it, and he was reluctant to take it out and use it, Qin Wu naturally didn't know about its existence.

"Qin Wu, you don't need me to remind you. When a person dies, they don't release beta pheromones. If you don't give me something, I'll die anyway, so I might as well kill myself now! Tianyang shouted, his eyes resolute.

In the helmet, Qin Wu was sweating profusely, and his eyes were full of hesitation.

Tianyang looked at the other two team members: "Maybe you have to persuade Captain Qin Wu, otherwise I will die, and maybe the next one to be abandoned will be one of the two of you." ”

"After all, you're also a subordinate who can be sacrificed at any time, aren't you?"

Dong Yan and the other team members couldn't help but swallow their saliva, clenched the rifle in their hands, and although they didn't dare to point the muzzle directly at Qin Wu, they put their fingers on the trigger.

Qin Wu could see this detail clearly, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Of course, he knew that the recruit was putting pressure on him. To be honest, he didn't expect this at all.

If he knew that Tianyang was so difficult, or he should have changed his target just now.

As for now......

"I'll give him a first aid kit, and each of you will bring out a unit of survival supplies! Hurry up, there's no time! ”

Qin Wu quickly untied the backpack behind him, which contained a first-aid kit. The other two exchanged glances, took out survival supplies, and then looked at Tianyang nervously.

The boy then removed the dagger a little.

Qin Wu breathed a sigh of relief, snorted, and drilled out of the window.

Soon, the three of them climbed up using the pipes in the outer wall to avoid the wanderers in the building.

Seeing them leave, Tianyang didn't let out any cruel words, only kept this grudge firmly in his heart.

Next, he reached out to get the first aid kit, but there was a strange sound in the passage outside the door, a sound like a leaky bellows, which made Tianyang turn his head to look.

The pale ghost fire wafting in the dark passage was getting closer and closer, and Tianyang even saw it, a foot with sticky pus and only three toes, stomping heavily on the ground.

Juice splashes.

The Prowler has come to the door!
