Chapter 403: The Bitter Rain On
At noon, the sun shining brightly could not be seen at the top of the sky. Thick dark clouds move with the wind, gradually accumulating in the sky as far as the people in the mining area can see, deep clouds and gray cloudy sky finally dominate the head of the mining area, the sky blows a slightly cold wind, far from the sunny sky, giving people a premonition that the sky will change.
"It's going to rain, hurry up and dispose of the plague corpses on the edge of the mine!"
Morley pointed loudly to the nearby soldiers, who hurriedly carried the corpses of the plague seeds, gathered all the corpses to a piece of land in the forest, and dug a pit together to bury them. The sky changed very quickly, and in the midst of the rapid movement of the wind and clouds, an abrupt raindrop fell from the sky and fell straight to the earth.
The sound of dense raindrops crashing on the ground resounded throughout the mining area, and the dry and pale surface was soon infected with gray wet stains, and after the ground was covered with a thin layer of stagnant water, the needle-like rain would bloom a tender splash as soon as it plunged into the stagnant water.
The flood prevention capacity of the mine surface is very average, and there are only good flood prevention measures around the large mining equipment and underground passages. And this foreboding rain was unexpectedly heavy, and there was no simple stop at the beginning.
For ten or twenty minutes, the guards and miners of the mine watched as the water on the surface slowly rose to a height that could wrap half a combat boot, and a gentle step on it would make a splash.
Gao Yuan stood outside the tent in a transparent raincoat, he tilted his head slightly, staring at the mountains not far away, letting the torrential rain crackle on him, and he didn't care.
Their tent occupies a high point in the mining area, and the rainwater that accumulates on the surface will eventually flow down the terrain elevation difference, so they don't have to worry about the water spilling into the tent for the time being.
On the other hand, on rainy days, animals generally anticipate the change in the weather in advance and move to higher places or their nests, even if they mutate into plague species.
When it rains heavily, there is a high probability that no plague will hit the mining area.
Gao Yuan raised his palm, looked at the rain hitting the palm of his hand, and listened to the restless but unique quiet sound of rain.
For Gao Yuan, the sound of rain is not noise. As a sniper, he is good at lurking in a hidden spot, he can stay in the deep mountains and old forests, let the rain soak his gilly suit, and remain motionless.
Now his palms are wrapped under a transparent raincoat. Gao Yuan knew that these rains contained terrifying concentrations of strange viruses, and if the people who braved the rain were naked. A dew wound, or an unfortunate cold, would be deadlier than a torrential rain in the wilderness.
Gao Yuan turned around slowly, lifted the curtain of the tent and walked into the tent. In the tent, Wu Qi, Guo Baibai, Krees, and July formed a circle, and it was rare to have time to rest and enjoy a day's lunch.
"How's it going?" Wu Qi asked.
"Something terrible. The water line that has accumulated on the ground below is very high, and if this rain continues, the rain will seriously affect the use of the underground passage in about 30 minutes. Gao Yuan said.
"Hmm." Wu Qi took a bite of bread and replied.
He wasn't worried about the damage to the ore machine, but he was worried about whether the underground passage would survive the terrible downpour. If the underground passage collapses due to excessive rainwater infiltration, then he loses the opportunity to unravel "that thing" before it is unearthed.
"Woo......"
The little red fox whimpered suddenly, and rested its head on two front legs crossed together, and the two hind legs were stacked on one side, and the furry fiery red hung on the ground.
Rainy days can affect people's mood, and the little red fox seems to be affected by rainy days and becomes less moody.
The little red fox July was the only creature that could arouse Wu Qi's pet love, and he gently put his hand on the furry and soft back of the little red fox's neck, rubbed it a few times, and there was a heartfelt smile on the corner of his mouth.
Guo Baibai sat opposite Wu Qi, his eyes fell on Wu Qi's sideways smiling face, he was in a daze for a while, and the movements of his hands handing bread to his small mouth became very slow. Krees inadvertently caught a glimpse of Guo Baibai's movements, and naturally turned his head.
The passage of time seemed to be affected by the cacophony of heavy rain outside, and it became very slow. Wu Qi and his entourage have been able to rest their bodies and minds so easily and naturally since they entered the mining area to participate in the mining area escort mission.
Wu Qi stroked the little red fox for a while, and his eyes turned to the front again. He inadvertently saw Guo Baibai's eyes staring at him, his lips were not opened, and Guo Baibai took the first step.
"Wu Qi." Guo Baibai subconsciously covered up the fact that he had been staring at Wu Qi for a long time, and called out the other party's name.
"Huh?"
"What I told you last night, do you have any new developments or ideas now?"
Last night, Guo Baibai informed Wu Qi of the result of using his "telepathy" ability to peek into the hearts of all the guards in the mining area, and this is what she said.
Wu Qi shook his head. In fact, he prefers that there are no planners in the convoy, but the reasoning in this direction is a dead end. Unless there is someone else lurking inside and outside the mine in addition to the Mine Guards, and mastering this additional Electromagnetic Kinetic Rifle. Without more information, reasoning is like a clever woman who can't cook without rice.
"If you want to talk about the extra electromagnetic kinetic rifle, I killed Doon and buried his body and gun, but no one knows the details of this matter except me......"
Wu Qi seemed to be lost in thought, and Guo Baibai touched his cheek a little embarrassed. Obviously, now is a rare opportunity to rest, because her "mistake" made Wu Qi start thinking again.
Just as everyone was enjoying this rare moment of tranquility, a terrible scream suddenly came from outside the tent.
The screams rang out and stopped abruptly, unusually weird. Wu Qi got up when he got up, and Gao Yuan quickly raised his hand to signal Wu Qi not to go out first, and he went outside to see the situation while wearing a raincoat. Wu Qi nodded, and Gao Yuan walked out of the tent.
Gao Yuan walked to the edge of the high ground and looked condescendingly at the scene of the mining area below. I saw a soldier in a raincoat standing in the clearing, his expression frightened, clutching his chest, and the movements of his limbs looked stiff, as if he were spasmodic.
Gao Yuan's black-brown eyes rippled in a circle of violent water waves, and he quickly looked up and down at the unusual-looking soldier, but he couldn't see anything else strange.
At this time, soldiers from each of the other camps came out to investigate the situation, and the stiff soldier saw the others as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and frantically raised his hand to grasp the person in front of him who could not be touched. He opened his mouth, as if he had done his best to say a few scattered words.
Gao Yuan was more than 200 meters away from the soldier, and the sound of the torrential rain was annoying, so he couldn't hear what the soldier said when he called for help. After saying a few words, the soldier's eyes suddenly rolled and his arms and body fell to the ground in unison, slamming into a pool of water that was calf deep, making a big splash and losing consciousness.
