"Aaron, lead the expedition to clear the way." "Yes!" "Hook, lead the logistics team to move the body out." "Yes!"

Chen Xing gave two orders in a row, and then followed behind the reconnaissance team and drilled into the tunnel. The smoke mixed with the rotting stench of the corpses, and the dirt rolled on the ground. The top was blown up by a shell, and many places collapsed, and it was necessary to advance while digging.

About forty minutes later, the group reached the bottom of the tunnel. The reinforced concrete walls were blasted open with a large opening, and the inside was pitch black and difficult to see.

"Searchlight!" Aaron yelled at the rear, and the two team members immediately trotted over with batteries and lights, set up in the gap, and shone inside.

The incandescent beam of light shot into the depths of darkness like substance. Chen Xing walked to the front and observed for a while, the space inside was very large, and there were iron frame beds everywhere, horizontal and vertical, rusty, like a steel jungle. The ground was covered with a thick layer of ash and a mess of footprints.

"Beware of the fish that slip through the net." Chen Xing said, then took out a blasting grenade, unbuckled it, and threw it in.

The grenade flew into the hall in an arc, bouncing a few times between the shelves and beds, and the fire flashed and exploded. Two figures immediately burst out of the corner, and more than a dozen assault rifles opened fire at the same time, knocking them backwards.

Chen Xing picked up the assault rifle, concentrated his strength, and shot the two living corpses in the head.

After observing for more than ten minutes, and after making sure that there was no threat in the spot, Chen Xing beckoned and asked Aaron to lead the team into the hall.

Looking around, it is a large living room, rectangular, arched on the top, and the shelf bed is divided into three layers, with hundreds of beds, which can accommodate thousands of people.

The space in the underground shelter is very valuable, and the residents on the ground floor do not have their own rooms, a bed and a locker are all that. According to some documents, intimate relations between men and women on the ground can only be carried out after the lights are turned off, and there is no soundproofing and no privacy at all. Only skilled workers have their own rooms, but they are only a few square meters, just enough for a bed and a table.

Of course, the situation of each survival center is different, and some are more humane, equipped with "tryst rooms" or "love rooms" for short use. But in general, due to the harsh living environment and the lack of resources, the people at the bottom have few rights.

The social structure of most shelters is pyramidal. From the beginning of sensibility, every child will study hard in order to become a technician in the future and have their own room.

Chen Xing scanned with a strong flashlight tied to the head of the gun, most of the bedding on the bed was rotten and shattered when touched, and all kinds of miscellaneous items were piled up under the bed, including workers' helmets, farm tools, wooden boxes, and broken shoes.

Chen Xing dragged the wooden box out and asked the team to pry it open. It contained a lot of clutter, most of which was corrupted.

"Boss, find a diary." Aaron took out a green notebook and handed it to Chen Xing.

The flashlight shines up, and the cover reads "Work Diary", and below is a blurry line of small words "Geothermal Power Room Steam Boiler Cleaning Group, Zhu Weiqi".

When I opened the book, the pages shattered and scattered like snowflakes. The stuff here is at least four or five hundred years old, and the level of corruption is very high. With the exception of metal products, ceramic products, and solid wood products of good wood, most of them cannot be preserved.

"Keep searching, beware of those that slip through the net." Chen Xing threw down the notebook and walked forward with his waist bent.

The space here is very large, with tens of thousands of square meters, but compared to the number of iron frame beds, it is difficult to imagine how crowded it was to live in the past.

Imagine thousands of people living in an enclosed space, and the mere whispering can kill people, like a concentration camp in wartime.

"Be careful!"

In the middle of his thoughts, a shout suddenly came from behind him. Chen Xing quickly turned around and took aim with his gun. In the afterglow of the searchlight, an earthy yellow living corpse grabbed the shelf bed, jumped up and down, and pounced on it.

In an instant, several tongues of fire erupted. The bullets hit the iron frame bed, sparks flew and clanged. The entire underground space flickered and flickered, and the figures on the walls were like ghosts.

In order to avoid casualties, Chen Xing immediately used the energy storage shot, which discounted the calf of the living corpse and greatly reduced its movement speed.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Aaron pull out his machete, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't get close, keep your distance!" ”

Aaron's combat positioning is a brawler, and his desire for melee combat is very strong, but the earthy yellow living corpse is extremely powerful, and the slightest mistake will be disabled, and shooting with a long-range weapon is the safest.

Hearing his order, Aaron had no choice but to put away his machete and shoot with a shotgun instead.

"Bang bang bang!"

The hot iron sand beat the living corpses back one after another, knocking over several iron frame beds, the brackets were badly deformed, and the dark red rust fell with a clatter. After a while, the living corpse was beaten into a hornet's nest and fell to the ground.

"Spread out in groups of three." Chen Xing made a gesture, and the team quickly dispersed to both sides.

After walking forward for a while, they encountered two more living corpses, and everyone gathered fire to destroy them. At the end of the room there is a large door, semi-arced, more than ten meters wide, inlaid with a huge number "4", which should mean "No. 4 living area".

There are also small doors on both sides of the room, which can be seen through the observation slit to be a toilet or shower room.

"Xiao Liu is gone!" "Fat head, fat head, where are you!" Suddenly, someone in the group shouted.

"Assemble, roll call!" Chen Xing hurriedly summoned everyone over. After some counting, it was found that three teammates were missing.

"Find!" He bent over his waist and searched the rear.

"That's, there!" It was soon discovered that a missing team member was lying on the ground, motionless.

"Fatty, fat!" The team member tentatively called a few words and flipped forward.

A few flashlights shone through, and the team members on the ground widened their eyes and their faces were very distorted. His chest heaved and heaved, as if something was squirming inside.

"Fatty, what's wrong with you?" The team member in charge of the investigation patted his teammate in the face. At this moment, the fat head's mouth suddenly opened, and a black shadow burst out, rushing straight to the front door of the team member.

When I looked closely, it was a worm, with a body like an earthworm, as thick as a child's arm, without eyes, and a mouth full of tiny fangs.

"Ahhh

The bug writhed and burrowed into the team's mouth. The team member grabbed it with both hands and pulled it out desperately. Everyone else stayed on the spot, not daring to come forward to help, and not daring to shoot.

Seeing that the worm was about to burrow into his stomach, Aaron strode forward, grabbed the worm's body, rolled it around his hand a few times, and pulled it hard!

"Tsk!" The bug hissed high-pitched and turned its head to bite Aaron's arm. Aaron threw himself on the ground, stepped on it, and with a "poof" sound, crushed the worm into a pulp with the heel of his shoe.

"Corpse worms, corpse worms!" Someone recognized it and shouted.

The corpse worm came to this world with the undercurrent of time and space during the cataclysm. They will take advantage of the sleep of the organism to burrow through their mouths and eat from the inside out.
