Chapter 400: On the Clouds
Time passed quickly, Wu Qi only had two hours in total, and as soon as the time for the third shift arrived, he had to appear at his post, otherwise his series of infiltration operations would be revealed.
Trespassing into the classified area without permission is a serious fault for the guards with strict military regulations, and Wu Qi knows it.
Shuttling through one passage after another, one open cave after another, 1 hour and 45 minutes passed quietly.
When it was time to return, there was still one last passage left in front of Wu Qi. Although he didn't know if there would be an open cave behind this passage, Wu Qi was unwilling to retreat here from the bottom of his heart.
Wu Qi lifted the light rod that was about to run out of light and the detector whose battery was about to run out, and took a step into the depths of the passage.
10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, Wu Qi felt that this passage was unexpectedly long, and every second passed faster than usual.
He suddenly had a wonderful premonition, which had no basis, but subtly made his heart beat slightly.
With this kick landing, Wu Qi has already walked out of the distance of 60 meters.
When this foot fell, the detector's prompt light turned red and brightened, and the screen showed that the Gaussian stone source was 5 meters away.
This foot fell, and Wu Qi's heart was suddenly grabbed by an invisible big hand for a second!
Wu Qi's obsidian-like eyes widened slightly, and the hole emitted a shocking light. Every cell in his body was inexplicably in a state of frenzy, becoming extremely active and unusually greedy, as if there was something from a certain distance that made them so desperately desired.
In an instant, the light source of the light rod was completely extinguished. Wu Qi's heartbeat stopped. He clutched his chest, trying to slow down his heart, which was beating faster and faster, but to no avail.
Wu Qi experienced this strange feeling very few times, so little that he could clearly remember when, where, and what scene the last time something abnormal in his body appeared.
Last time, it was when he was close to MacDonald!
At first, Wu Qi didn't understand why his body longed for MacDonald, but now he knew that because MacDonald had a huge power hidden deep in his genes, and the path MacDonald took was the path of revelation of the gods of the wilderness, so his body cells would instinctively crave. And now this whole body cell craves something exactly the same feeling as it did back then!
Wu Qi's expression suddenly became very exciting, he suddenly lost his usual calm and cold expression, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but he froze there, unable to laugh.
So what is it exactly? Is it something similar to MacDonald? Is it the "thing" that is more important than Gaussian stone?
Wu Qi asked himself questions in his heart, but no one could answer his questions. If you want to know the answer, you can only move forward!
Wu Qi raised his palm and groped forward, and walked forward 2 meters before he touched the rock wall. The detector showed that the source of Gaussian stone was 3 meters behind the rock wall, and the call of the cells became more and more intense, confirming that Wu Qi was moving in the right direction.
Wu Qi took a deep breath. He had a strong urge to break through the rock wall with one punch, to see with his own eyes what the Gaussian stone ore with countless wonderful points of light was like when the five colors of blue, emerald green, vermilion, orange and purple converged into one, and then look at the true face of the "thing" that induced the symptoms of his cell fanaticism in the depths of the last thirtieth Gaussian stone's hiding place.
A punch was thrown, and the moment before it touched the rock wall, Wu Qi retracted his punch. He slowly lowered his hand and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
Once that punch is struck, the miners will surely find out that someone had infiltrated the underground passage last night. Even if his true body is not seen by others, the first person Li Fushan suspects is himself.
Reason told Wu Qi that it was not impossible to find out, but the opportunity was not now. Now the amount of intelligence is still slightly insufficient, and he has a hunch that if he really gets through the 3-meter rock wall, the situation behind him will most likely make him helpless.
At this moment, 1 hour and 51 minutes have passed.
Wu Qi decisively chose to evacuate the scene, he recovered all the ropes along the way, turned off the detector that was about to run out of power, and put it back on the lid of the wooden box in the starting cave.
After doing all this, Wu Qi quietly touched the stairs of the underground passage. He spread out his perceptual net, listening intently to the footsteps outside.
1 hour 59 minutes. When the time for the third shift came, it was his chance to leave the underground passage.
Bang!
A sudden gunshot pierced the quiet night sky, catching Wu Qi off guard. For a moment, the shouts and footsteps of the guards were chaotic. A large number of footsteps poured towards the entrance to the underground passage, and all of them poured into the northeast corner of the mine.
Wu Qi took advantage of the chaos and rushed out of the entrance of the passage. He kept the sound of his footsteps and breathing to a very low level, and a silent black shadow in the night would not attract anyone's attention.
The commotion outside was not much different from the picture Wu Qi imagined, most of the guards surrounded the northeast corner of the mining area, and the guards who did not surround were also on the way. Wu Qi made a detour back to the back door of his tent, which was empty, where he changed into a white soldier's uniform, and then lifted the curtain of the tent and walked towards the place where the riot had occurred.
Guo Baibai, Gao Yuan, Krees, and July are all here. Wu Qi grabbed Krees's shoulder from behind, and as soon as Krees turned his head, Wu Qi asked calmly, "What happened?" ”
"Some of the guards died, they were killed by bullets in the head, and now the prisoners are unknown." Krees replied.
"It's all quiet! Spread out and retreat to a distance of 5 meters! Morley stood closest to the body's body, his expression fierce, and he raised his right hand and gave a loud order.
All the soldiers immediately dispersed. As soon as his vision widened, Wu Qi saw the appearance of the corpse of the guard.
The corpse could indeed be said to have been killed by a "headshot", because the white soldier's uniform was above the neck and neckline, except for the blood brain that spread all over the place. Mixture of pulp, and there is nothing.
A single bullet can blow a person's head apart, which is the power level of an anti-materiel sniper rifle bullet or an anti-aircraft machine gun bullet, and even a more powerful electromagnetic kinetic rifle can do it!
Miranda walked up to Morley with a register and whispered in her ear: "Morley, the name of the deceased is known, it's ......"
As Morley listened, his scarlet eyes swept over all the guards present. His gaze paused for a moment on each of the four faces of Wu Qi and his party, and then he spoke: "The first witness to reach the deceased's side, come out!" ”
An unassuming bodyguard with a plain appearance and short black hair stepped forward. Morley said coldly, "Tell me what you see." ”
The guard pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Captain Morley, I heard a very close gunshot, and I ran as fast as I could, just in time to see him fall to the ground. His head was gone, and the bullet that pierced his head didn't know where it went. ”
"Which direction is the gunshot?"
"Northeast, I can't be mistaken." So said the guard.
