Volume 2: The Stairway to Heaven (30)
"Click"
Assistant Wang, who was running and turned around to shoot, heard the sound of the bolt of the assault rifle in his hand hitting the air, he reached out to his waist and touched the magazine, but he felt empty, and when he looked down, he found that the magazine on his armed belt had been used up.
Assistant Wang took a look at the others and found that most of their waists were empty, and in just twenty minutes of fierce fighting, the ant colony that kept pouring towards them had almost exhausted the ammunition on their bodies.
"Brother Wang, my gun is out of bullets!"
The bad news came one after another, and within a few minutes, the rest of the people also said that the bullets had run out, and the extinguishing of each gun made the other personnel a little heavier, so that the whole team fell into a vicious circle, in order to make up for the lack of firepower and the continuous strafing quickly exhausted the ammunition reserves of the others, except for the more well-prepared Gong Liang and Xiao Li, who used BP2000 point shooting, all the guns in the team became a heavy burning stick.
Assistant Wang's gaze swept through the tunnel, and the weapons and equipment in the tunnel were scattered everywhere, but the mottled rust on them showed that these weapons that lacked maintenance and maintenance were now just a pile of useless scrap metal.
Looking at the ant colony that kept shortening the distance between them, Assistant Wang suddenly turned around:
"You go first, I'll stay and stop them!"
Assistant Wang, who stopped, found a sharp steel pole in the ruins of a pile of exoskeleton armor and held it tightly in his hand.
"Brother Wang......"
Zhang Li wanted to say something more, but was rudely interrupted by Assistant Wang:
"Let's go! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave after a while! Take care of Professor Sun for me! ”
"Brother Wang is right, if no one breaks off, none of us will be able to leave! But Brother Wang, how can you keep such a wide passage alone? ”
The other two assistants glanced at each other at this time, and also found suitable melee weapons from the ruins and stood in a row with Assistant Wang.
Assistant Wang was stunned and said:
"You ......"
But his nose was sour, and he couldn't say any more, and when he looked back at Xiaoli and they were still standing in place, he couldn't help but be angry:
"Let's go! Is there no point in wanting us to die? Professor Sun, please, take them away! ”
Professor Sun was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and left. The ant colony doesn't move very fast for these young people, and the only reason they can't get rid of them is because of themselves. Things have come to this point, and the best reward for them is to do everything possible to get out of this place safely, and give these warriors the honor and reward they deserve after escaping!
Assistant Wang was relieved physically and mentally when he saw Professor Sun leaving, and he smiled at the two colleagues standing beside him:
"Brothers, I didn't expect our usual emergency training to be useful. If I had known that I had today, I wouldn't have been lazy in the first place, so I could have lasted a little longer, wouldn't I? Hahahaha...... That's funny! ”
"Who's to say it's not......"
The other two also stared at the ant colony surging like a tidal wave.
Seeing that the enemy stopped, the ant colony also stopped rolling and stopped a few meters away from Assistant Wang, and after a short confrontation, the ant colony cautiously began to probe, and several large ants rushed towards Assistant Wang and the three from several directions.
"Kill!"
The long pole in Assistant Wang's hand stabbed an ant that rushed forward, and immediately pulled the tip of the rod back, and the other two also followed Assistant Wang's slogan to complete an attack.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
After three attacks, all the ants who came to test them were killed on the spot.
found that ants are not as thick-skinned and strong as other xenospecies, they are not unable to deal with them, Assistant Wang and they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest depends on how many pads they can pull......
——————
Two pillars of light swayed in the dark tunnel, Gong Liang carried Professor Sun on his shoulders and Zhang Li ran one after the other, the lights shook violently in the bumps, and they could only hope for the front as they ran away.
Even if the strength of those ants is not weak, they can't survive the endless number, and everyone knows how much time Assistant Wang and a few civilian staff can buy for them, maybe the ant colony will emerge from the dark tunnel again in the next moment.
Fortunately, the god of luck did not abandon them completely, and just when their strength was about to run out, a pillar of light shot directly from the opposite side, and Liu Yuxin's grass-green mecha appeared in front of them in a metal collision.
"What's going on?"
Finding that there were three people missing from the team, Zhang Hong asked.
Seeing Liu Yuxin and Zhang Hong, Gong Liang relaxed and put down Professor Sun on his back:
"There's an ant colony behind us!"
"Ant colony?"
Zhang Hong looked at the pitch-black passage behind them, picked up Professor Sun and began to run wildly:
"Liu Yuxin, I'll leave the rest to you! Keep up! ”
"Bear with me, it may be a little bumpy"
Liu Yuxin confessed, and caught Zhang Li and Gong Liang under her ribs one by one to keep up with Zhang Hong's footsteps:
"Where are you going now?"
"Go to that hall and see if Brother Gong can find a way to get something useful out of that pile of garbage, and most importantly, see if you can find a schematic map of this base."
Zhang Hong, who was running, paused, let himself take a few breaths, and then said:
"Now it's time to find a way out of this base! Ant colonies are very territorial races, and will always chase enemies when disturbed, and after losing the enemy's tracks, they will continue to patrol the pursuit route for a period of time to prevent the enemy from infiltrating again. ”
Liu Yuxin frowned and asked:
"In other words, we won't be able to go back the way we came in a short time? Can we just break through the middle of them? ”
Zhang Hong smiled bitterly:
"Those ants are very easy to deal with, but they have evolved a pair of invincible jaws and have an amazing bite force, as long as they can't cover the force field all over their bodies, any living thing will be drowned in an endless sea of ants. What's more, ant colonies have such a large base, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have some special mutants. ”
Then Zhang Hong made up the knowledge about the mutant ant colony to Liu Yuxin, so that in case they were separated, Liu Yuxin could still deal with it correctly, and before they knew it, they were back in the dilapidated and chaotic hall.
Liu Yuxin put down Gong Liang at the front desk at Zhang Hong's signal:
"Brother Liang, can you wake up those devices? We need to find out the control room of the entire base. ”
Gong Liang squatted down to disassemble the shell of the terminal equipment and fiddled inside. It didn't take long for the terminal embedded in the front desk to suddenly light up, and the screen flashed a few times to appear the operation page.
Zhang Hong, who was waiting anxiously on the side, patted him on the back excitedly:
"Brother, yes! The antiques that have been out of order for almost a hundred years have awakened you! ”
Gong Liang gave up his position and said modestly:
"In a place like this military base, the manufacturing and installation of the equipment used have very strict military standards, and as long as the structure is not destroyed, there is generally a good chance of being awakened. But you have to hurry up to what you do, the emergency source of this equipment has been diverging for more than a hundred years, and only God knows how long it can be supported. ”
"Understood!"
Zhang Hong put away his hippie smile, withdrew a data interface from his terminal and connected to the terminal that was woken up:
"Butler, turn on this computer for me and find a schematic map of the floors of this place"
"Okay master, please wait a moment!"
Then the personal terminal in Zhang Hong's hand flashed wildly, and after the indicator light on his wrist terminal stopped flashing, Zhang Hong sighed:
"Okay, I've got the base layout map, and I'll pass the information to you right away."
A minute later, Liu Yuxin also got the basic information of this base, which indicated the main structure and main main passages of this base, and they no longer needed to run around in this underground base extending in all directions like headless flies.
This base is a biochemical research center with four floors. The first floor is where the hall is located, and in addition to the offices of the base leaders and various researchers, there are also conference rooms and radar rooms for the office and administration of the entire base; The second floor is the barracks and cafeteria, as well as a number of gyms and recreation rooms, where base personnel spend most of their time resting.
On the third floor, the security began to become tighter, the entire floor was full of cameras and automatic machine guns that had stopped working, and the gates of each passage were replaced with very thick and strong special alloys, Liu Yuxin and his party walked in it, and often saw scattered bones and large blood stains that had been oxidized to black, according to the information, this floor was formerly the research center of the base, and a large number of various life forms used for experiments were imprisoned.
"Ahh This...... Is this a human experiment? ”
Passing by a room where the door was smashed, Zhang Li, who glanced inside out of curiosity, exclaimed.
In the room she pointed to, there were rows of two-person tall iron cans, the tempered glass on the front of these iron cans had turned into slag and fell to the ground, and the nutrient solution inside had dried up into a lump, and the various wiring that had been connected to the iron cans was even more broken and messy, and the exclusive pipes of several cans were tightly entangled like twisted flowers, and I don't know what happened here.
Among the destroyed jars, there are still a lot of gray-white bones, some are still complete, but some have obviously been eaten, in addition to some of the bones are missing, some places have also left obvious tooth marks, judging from the structure of the skeleton, it turns out that the human beings soaked in the jar should be mutated in some places.
Liu Yuxin's heart was tired, and she tilted her head. Liu Yuxin, who came from the old era, actually had a very strong sense of identity with Area C, and now found out that they might be secretly conducting some very inhumane experiments, which is really very unhappy. Liu Yuxin has always attributed the bad results of all kinds of things to the alliance, but today's discovery broke the sense of superiority in his heart.
"Zhang Hong, can you find out what kind of experiments are being carried out here?"
Liu Yuxin couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart after all, and wanted to get to the bottom of what happened here.
