The person who died was Lao Hu, who did not survive in the long time of dozens of minutes, with serious facial injuries and internal organs being trampled.

The consumption of bullets also exceeded the expectations of the black gun mercenaries. The armor bullets are almost gone, and the average of all ordinary bullets is only two bullets. Clip reserves, anti-aircraft machine guns have only one cartridge box left. With such a stockpile of bullets, it is undoubtedly unwise to want to go further in the tunnel.

The wounded An Yi sat in the back compartment of the armored truck, also learning about the casualties of his squad. All the people brought by the safety zone were injured, and the dead, Da Yong and Lao Li.

Dayong was injured in the back of the head by a rain of rubble in order to protect Anyi. In the sneak attack of the fishing deer and the subsequent fierce battle, everyone only saw Dayong seriously injured and fell, but they didn't know that he had already died. Lao Li was caught by too many humanoids to be beaten and bitten to death, and his body was gnawed by humanoids in the chaotic battle to the point that only stumps and legs were broken.

An Yi was silent, and his heart sank into a deep pool of rich sadness. Dayong followed him when he was just an adult, and he traveled all the way, and the two experienced countless hardships and dangers of life and death. Dayong believes in him wholeheartedly, believes that he will have a good life with him, believes that he will always protect himself, and comfort has also witnessed Dayong's entire youth. Although the age gap between the two is not small, the brotherly relationship is extremely deep. When it was decided to be stationed in the safe zone, Dayong also stayed without hesitation.

Lao Li is 4 years older than him, and he was there when the previous captain was still there. Lao Li is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted reliable big brother, who sometimes refutes him and reminds him that in his immature stage, Lao Li has helped him the most. And when he matured, Lao Li silently continued to be his loyal subordinate.

Now these two people have left him forever.

Even if it is an iron-blooded man, when he sees the death of his teammates and brothers around him, he can't suppress the tears in the corners of his eyes. The man's tears are harder to flow than blood, and when they do, their hearts are really broken.

"Ha-" Wang Sheng drank a mouthful of white air, and the hot flesh cooled down, even colder than expected. He understood that the atmosphere of grief was eroding the morale of the entire team, and that the lack of ammunition was a more real problem. They can't continue to explore.

"The son of a bitch group, fucking released what an irresponsible ghost mission! C-level exploratory class? I look at the B-class annihilation class! Our brother was killed by this mission! A black-gun mercenary was so angry that he slammed his fist into the outer wall of the back compartment of the armored truck. Lao Hu is his best brother, and Lao Hu's death makes him feel that he is in the pain and self-blame of the water and fire. He was now so angry, so sad.

"Alright. If you are angry, Lao Hu will not come back to life. Exploration missions have additional risks, but this time we stabbed a hornet's nest. Wang Sheng took out a yellowed cigarette case from his trouser pocket and took out the last crumpled cigarette inside. Light it with a lighter, and then puff out a large cloud of smoke. In the smoke, he was able to force himself to calm down.

"Load all the sample boxes in the car and go back."

After that, Wang Sheng climbed into the co-pilot neatly, and Deputy Liu also sat in the driver's seat. One by one, the crowd returned to the back compartment of the armored truck. In the storage space of the armored truck, in addition to the sample boxes containing the carcasses of sharks and the blood of the virus, there are also sample boxes for humanoids, fishing deer, and greenheads.

This is the end of this exploration mission.

"Oh yes, that kid with a knife, what's your name?" Wang Sheng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was smoking greedily, when he suddenly asked.

"Wu Qi." Wu Qi said plainly.

"Oh, Wu Qi. On the way back, you serve as the main guard. Wang Sheng turned his back to Wu Qi and ordered in a calm tone.

Wu Qi didn't have any expression on his face, but the expressions of the others were very exciting. Especially the mercenaries of the Black Gun, although they were very tired physically and mentally, they were still surprised by the words of the regiment commander Wang Sheng by naming Wu Qi.

But if you think about it, there's nothing wrong with that. Wu Qi has already shown super high combat effectiveness, brave and decisive. At the critical juncture when Lao Hu was taken away by the fishing deer, he did not hesitate to step forward and instantly kill the fishing deer to save Lao Hu. Although Lao Hu died in the end, he must have known that Wu Qi saved him despite being in danger, and he would also smile with relief.

Wu Qi is capable and trustworthy.

For Wu Qi, he just wanted to save people at that moment, Lao Hu once told him a piece of information, which was a thin favor. Moreover, Wu Qi, who is good at calculation and survival, will not think that it is the right choice to give up an important teammate and let the extremely dangerous "special plague species" grow away.

When Wu Qi thought of Lao Hu, he thought of the fishing deer, and he realized that the first two huge round holes with a diameter of three meters were the traces of destruction caused by the fishing head deer rushing from behind one wall to another. How could such a huge body move through the "soil layer" at an astonishing speed, or was the soil layer behind the tunnel wall already an empty shell?

In an atmosphere of silence and introspection, the rumbling engine became the only sound in the silent tunnel. The armored truck sped back in the tunnel, and no one wanted to stay a moment longer.

And just like that, the armored truck drove to the front of the initial big hole. Stopped ten meters away from the big hole.

"What's wrong? Why stop. The cigarette in Wang Sheng's mouth had burned to the last quarter, and he raised his hand to remove the cigarette from his mouth and throw it out of the car window. He could only see that it was pitch black in front of him, and asked Deputy Liu.

Deputy Liu was wearing an explosion-proof helmet with night vision, and a pair of eyes behind the armor were trembling in a daze.

Similarly, Wu Qi, the only one who had the strength to maintain a high degree of vigilance among all the people present, was also staring at the front.

It's pitch black, and it's really pitch black when a normal person looks at it. But beneath the darkness are the cracks and bulges on the tunnel floor that can't be ignored. There are a lot of cracks, crawling like knife marks on the gray concrete floor, the section is rough, not like it was damaged by external forces, and combined with the uplift of the surface, it looks more like the section caused by internal compression. When I passed through it before, these cracks were absolutely non-existent.

Suddenly, a gust of hot air rushed from the exit of the tunnel, hitting everyone's skin, scorching like air flowing through the fireplace. Everyone still didn't know why, and suddenly Wu Qi seemed to see something, and his face changed drastically and he roared:

"Jump out of the car!"

Before the words fell, Wu Qi had already jumped out of the car with his bags on his back. The mercenaries of the black gun froze for a moment, but they saw that the sniper, who had been very calm and quiet from beginning to end, bounced up from his sitting position, instantly grabbed the edge of the back compartment with one hand, and then flew out.

A second later, a scorching light appeared from the exit of the tunnel, rapidly expanding from a small dot into an orange-white circle of light that obscured the view! It was a round and thick ray with a diameter of one meter like flowing magma, and at the moment it appeared, the hot wind rushing in front of it alone was more than 30 degrees higher than the previous wind temperature!

An instantaneous blinding light illuminated the dark tunnel, which carried an infinite aura of destruction and blasted towards the armored truck!

Rumble! The scorching rays slammed into the front of the armored truck, spewing out a drifting spark of destruction that covered most of the tunnel. In the snap of a finger, the front of the armored truck was suddenly melted into a huge hole by the heat rays, and the heat of destruction made no corner of the entire front cab spared. The entire cab is bubbling white, which is the gas of a substance that has been sublimated by the high temperature of an instant.

The impact of destruction and the heat caused the parts of the armored truck to explode like fireworks, and the air was filled with dark and orange-red charred parts that fell like leaves. The steering wheel in the cab has been melted to the right side, and the cross-section is full of red and orange molten shapes, and the molten liquid on it flows downward. The bulletproof glass, the center of the bridge, the steel partition between the cab and the rear compartment all showed a melting hole with a diameter of one meter, and the rest of the parts, although not hit head-on, were covered with pitch-black scorch marks.

Deputy Liu and Wang Sheng turned over and jumped out of the car moments before the arrival of the heat ray, unaffected by the devastating attack. However, the few mercenaries sitting in the back compartment did not have their agility, and many of the injured mercenaries were inconvenient in the first place, and did not completely dodge before the attack came, resulting in a large area of burns and burns on their bodies when they fell on the outside of the armored truck. The three black-armed mercenaries, who were still lying on the ground near the armored truck, had their expressions completely distorted from pain.

Wang Sheng turned his head and looked at the completely destroyed armored truck, so distressed that his teeth went soft. This is an armored truck that was bought for 80,000 yuan, and once it is destroyed, it is the hard work of the past few years that has been destroyed. Even though his heart hurt, when Wang Sheng saw that there were still subordinates near the armored truck that was on fire and had not left, his heart was even more anxious.

"Get out of there, the armored car will explode at any moment!" Wang Sheng, who was lying on the ground, shouted with all his might, but the few mercenaries who fell to the ground were already burned to charcoal, and their painful wails couldn't be stopped, and they didn't have the strength to move their bodies at all.

Then, a monstrous fire was reflected in Wang Sheng's eyes, and the deafening explosion deafened his hearing, and the churning cloud of flames and mushrooms completely filled the world reflected in his eyes. After the thick black smoke rolled over, only a huge carbon black frame with a raging flame was left in front of him. The anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on the roof of the car was also blown apart in the secondary explosion and completely destroyed.

The three black-gun mercenaries who fell near the armored truck were killed alive in a large cloud of orange-red explosions.

"Ahh ——”

Wang Sheng's roar was hoarse, his eyes were full of bloodshot cobwebs, and his neck was crawling with moans. His hands gripped the ground hard, and every bone joint trembled like chaff.

When Wang Sheng's calm mind was burned by the tragic death of his comrades-in-arms in front of him, Wu Qi's quiet voice was like cold winter snow, pouring down from the top of Wang Sheng's head.

"Respond to the enemy first, and the king of the lair has come to take revenge."
