The sun rises over the horizon again, spreading warm rays across the land. A ray of morning light shone on Liu Yuxin's face through the car window, his long eyelashes moved, and then he reached out to block his forehead and slowly opened his eyes.

Not long after the sun rose, the bitter cold of the night had subsided in this nascent light, and the temperature of the entire desert was warming up at an astonishing rate.

"You're awake!"

Zhang Hong, who was stretching his body in the open space not far away, greeted Liu Yuxin with a smile.

Liu Yuxin nodded to Zhang Hong and jumped out of the cab:

"Brother Zhang, was there anything unusual last night?"

After the two groups of people converged last night, there were a lot of more people, Liu Yuxin didn't have to be in charge of guarding all night, and Zhang Hong, as a senior bodyguard, could also deal with most emergencies, so Liu Yuxin got an unprecedented opportunity to rest at night last night.

"Everything is normal!"

"That's good!"

While they were talking, the door of the truck was pushed open from the inside, Sun Li and others walked out of it, and the last one to come out was Gong Liang in the team, as soon as he stepped off the truck, he immediately stretched his waist and stretched his body. A small truck can't accommodate so many people, and yesterday Gong Liang also found a random corner in the car and nested for a night.

"What are you going to do now? Just stay in this ruin, waiting for the rescue to come? ”

"No!"

Professor Sun shook his head again and again and said that he could not accept this plan:

"There are no additional plans to explore the base, and there is a high probability that we will be forced to return when the rescue team comes, and I want to take advantage of this gap to explore the depths of the crypt."

"No, that's too dangerous!"

Zhang Hong and Liu Yuxin refused at the same time.

Even an agile evolutionary would be extremely dangerous in an organized siege by the Sandmen, not to mention Professor Sun, an authoritative scholar who is powerless?

Seeing that the two people who were the main combat force of the team were opposed, Sun Li couldn't help but be a little anxious:

"If we don't find out anything, won't we come for nothing? You have also seen that inscription, it should be the secret of heaven, and we can't afford to fall short! ”

If this expedition does not produce any results, it will be almost impossible to conduct this kind of research next time, and maybe they will never be able to uncover the secrets of this place in their final life, and they are only one step away from success!

Zhang Hong smiled bitterly:

"Old Sun, just give up! Those things are in the sacrificial place of the sandfolk, and there is no chance for a few of us to break in. ”

"But ......"

"There is a situation!"

Professor Sun still wanted to argue a few words, but Gong Liang, who was letting off the wind on the periphery, interrupted all the disputes:

"The sandmen are here again! This time they also brought dogs, ah, no, wolves! ”

Gong Liang's discovery made everyone cold from head to foot, and the group of sand people seemed to be determined to find them all, so they didn't know if they were aiming at Professor Sun, who had desecrated their faith, or Liu Yuxin, who had just formed a blood feud with them last night.

Liu Yuxin climbed to a rather secret observation point and took a look at it with an optical mirror. Ho, good guys! This time, the sandmen came prepared, and the entire search team mobilized hundreds of people to form a large black patch on the yellow sand. They formed horns in a regular battle formation, and in teams of three they searched the depths of the city's ruins.

Each of the Sandmen's squads is equipped with a shieldman who walks in front with a large alloy shield, and a guard and a ranger stand on either side of him, a sturdy structure that can handle most contingencies and hold them back.

These squads were scattered across a mile-long fan and kept approaching where Liu Yuxin and the others were, and after occupying all the commanding heights in an area, they sent animal trainers with mutant wolves to search for their traces in the area, and at their speed, it wouldn't be long before they had to die again.

Liu Yuxin flipped off the observation post and returned to the crowd, and the other people obviously knew from Gong Liang's mouth that Sha Min had moved his true character this time, and their faces were all sad.

"Otherwise, let's drive away now!"

Zhang Li first put forward a suggestion.

"Yesterday we might have been able to escape, but today's battle has been completely arranged, otherwise it wouldn't be so fanfare."

Gong Liang vetoed the proposal without thinking about it, the target of the truck was so big, and the speed was not very fast, I was afraid that it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of the sandmen. Now he really regrets it, and asks himself why he didn't run away at night last night? Those xenos in the wild are much easier to deal with than the organized hunting teams in front of you!

Gong Liang looked at the city information in his hand with a sad face, hoping to find a solution to break the situation in it, his eyes patrolled back and forth along the various traffic veins of the city, and when he saw a place, his eyes lit up and said loudly:

"There it is!"

This sentence gave hope to the hearts of the people present, Zhang Hong curiously followed Gong Liang's gaze, and saw the city's subway station at a glance, and immediately he immediately understood what Gong Liang meant.

Zhang Hong immediately began to organize his equipment, and finally opened the insurance of the BP2000 after checking:

"I'll go over and distract them and take out their wolves later, and as soon as you hear the movement, head to the nearest subway station!"

"Wait!"

Liu Yuxin stopped Zhang Hong, who was about to set off:

"Let me go, I have a better chance of breaking through safely with my mech. Brother Zhang, the safety of the others is entrusted to you."

"Liu Yuxin, you ......"

"Brother Liang, don't say it again, I've made up my mind! To put it mildly, under the strict organization of Shamin, Brother Zhang may not even be able to delay letting you enter the subway station! I don't think that sacrifice makes any sense!"

Although Liu Yuxin's words were very straightforward, which made Zhang Hong feel a little uncomfortable, he also had to admit that Liu Yuxin was telling the truth. Those sand people are equipped with a large number of long-range weapons, and Zhang Hong himself has no bottom in his heart about how long he can hold out under the pursuit of the sand people without strong defensive equipment.

"Brother Liu, then be careful yourself! Don't be reckless! ”

Liu Yuxin made an OK gesture to Zhang Hongbi, who told her, jumped on her mecha and activated it to start preparing for herself.

After installing weapons on all the hardpoints of his mecha, Liu Yuxin picked up a shield and set off. The reason why Liu Yuxin chose the shield instead of the long sword this time this time is to prevent herself from being shot through the important parts of the mecha energy gauge and head when she fights and escapes, reducing the probability of the mecha completely crashing, and her main task is to contain it, and the melee weapon of the long sword is almost useless.

After sneaking a few kilometers from the ruins of the city, Liu Yuxin secretly climbed to a commanding height close to the sandmen and took a first look at several mutant wolves.

It's good, none of them exceeded the effective range!

Liu Yuxin pulled her finger on the trigger of the electromagnetic rifle.

"Dodo"

"Dodo"

"Dodo"

"Dodo"

Liu Yuxin quickly moved the electromagnetic rifle, killed the three mutant wolves tamed by the sand people with three bursts of fire, and swept down several sand people in a burst of shots, and immediately put away his weapons and jumped down to run.

"Ah, bastard! I'm hurt! ”

"Damn it! He ran over there! Chase! ”

"It's him again! Yesterday Batur died at his hands! If I get caught, I'm going to eat him alive! ”

……

The nearby sandfolks scolded and chased after him, and the sandfolks in other areas also began to outflank Liu Yuxin, who flexibly used the collapsed ruins, flexibly dodged the bullets that flew over, and from time to time turned around and fired back to knock down a few sandfolk, and shouted at those savage people.

On the other side, Professor Sun and the others quietly arrived at the entrance of the nearest subway station with enough supplies after the commotion in the sand. Of course, the entrance to the subway is also piled with yellow sand.

Gong Liang estimated the thickness of the sand layer and shook his head helplessly:

"It's too thick for us to get in...... We had to find a way to find another entrance. ”

"Probably not"

Zhang Hong held his chin with his fingers and stroked his stubble repeatedly:

"Wait here for a while!"

Ten minutes later, Zhang Hong, who left in a hurry, went and returned, but there was an unconscious gerbil as big as a bison on his shoulder. Zhang Hong walked to the entrance of the subway station and took out his **** and pricked it at the major artery in the gerbil's neck, and the warm blood gushed out and was immediately absorbed by the sand.

"What do you want to ......?"

"Brother Liang, you guessed right, those sand scorpions and centipedes in a natural shady underground passage like this will definitely not miss it! Give it a go, turn your bike into a motorcycle! So, let's start praying now, and pray that I'll be able to beat those guys who come out of the ground later!"

At Zhang Hong's signal, the rest of the people stayed away from the station entrance and found a safe place to hide, while Zhang Hong waited nearby for the upcoming visitors after the smell of blood seeped into the ground.

In less than ten minutes, the sand and gravel at the entrance of the subway station flowed, and gradually the two pincers half-revealed the new dark hole and clamped the gerbil tied to the rope and began to tear apart.

It was a sand scorpion that had just entered adulthood, and under Zhang Hong's deliberate traction, its car-sized body was emerging little by little.

Zhang Hong jumped on the sand scorpion's head at the right time, and BP2000 fired four shots against its head. The sand scorpion, which had just evolved to adulthood, could not resist the power of the energy weapon, and the rays of thousands of degrees of heat easily melted the armor on its head and roasted its brain, and the air was suddenly filled with a strange smell of flesh.

Zhang Hong struggled to pull the dead sand scorpion away from the hole, and then wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead:

"Fortunately, it's a scorpion, not a centipede!"

The entrance to the subway station is limited in size, and it is very inconvenient for the sand scorpion that has evolved to a high level to move in it, but it is possible to drill out a high-level centipede that grows longitudinally, and it seems that his luck is quite good today!

"Hurry up, everyone! While this place hasn't turned into a restaurant for xenos, let's hurry through! ”

After the matter was over, Zhang Hong first got into the passage dug by the sand scorpion and beckoned the others to hurry up and follow.

After everyone entered the subway station, Zhang Hong sent a retreat signal to Liu Yuxin.
