When Lin Sen was surprised, let the time go back to after Serra and his party encountered the Demon Kiss.

"There are still 340 meters to the target," reported No. 4.

The crowd picked up speed again, and while the three fusion cores were enough to shock for a while, they might also attract more magic kisses, this crazy social xenomorph was the real overlord of the water, and no one wanted to experience that kind of terrifying scene once.

"2, 3, 9 pay attention to the back, and the 10th will take 678 ashore first." Number 1 commanded.

"Roger." The three men at the end of the squad turned around and began to place miniature mines.

"50 meters from the target, ready to go ashore." The field of view of the 4-Matrix began to blur, and the water in this area was very turbid due to various chemical contamination.

"Watch out for corrosive liquids and turn on the nanocoating." No. 4 admonished again.

Serra silently followed behind Number One, now desperate to get back to land.

Finally, after another half minute or so, the 10th was the first to ascend to the land rock formation area of the underground river.

"Confirm safety!" Number 10 warily examined his surroundings and said.

Everyone went ashore one after another, and Serra, who returned to shore, was already exhausted, and the more than an hour spent underwater was more than a lifetime.

After checking the air quality, Number 4 made an OK gesture, and Serra put away her mask, the natural air that she had not seen for a long time made her feel more comfortable.

After a pause, Serra asked, "Where is the target?" ”

Number 4 sat on the ground and took a sip of water, pointing to the top of his head.

"Thirty-five meters above us, we were stuck between the rock and the silt."

Sierra looked up, and with the help of regular lighting, she saw a corner of her target.

It was a broken metal casing, and there were still a lot of chemicals dripping.

"Alright, get up, this is not a good place to rest." Number 1 walked over and kicked 678, who was slumped on the ground, the three of them were already the most seriously injured, and now they lay there and didn't want to move.

"Boss, let's rest for a while!" Number 6 was talking when suddenly a scream came.

Everyone was shocked, and the mask quickly fell.

"Where's the number nine?! Where's the number 9? "No. 1's iris vision indicates that No. 9's vital signal is disconnected.

No. 4 opened the matrix field of vision in a panic, thinking that it was already safe, how could this situation still occur.

"Attention, it's a magic kiss!" As soon as Four's matrix vision opened, he saw the Demon's Kiss that was spinning and tearing Nine's under the water, and the nightmare of unknown lurking and how to attack was feasting on it.

No. 1 was furious, he jumped into the water without saying a word, and the charged weapon pulled the trigger on the magic kiss at a depth of fifteen meters underwater, and in an instant, the magic kiss turned into blood foam under the energy beam, but No. 9 only had half of his body left.

When the group dragged 9 out of the water, 9, who had lost his right arm and most of his upper body, was still dying, and the life-support device barely maintained some of his consciousness.

With the last of his strength, he pressed a button, and his chest opened, where a crystal chip was placed.

Hoarse: "Rachel ......" and there was no movement.

Number 9 died.

Number 1 picks up the chip and removes the dog tag (1) from his neck, in pain.

Seeing this scene, Serra said lightly: "I will double the commission for you, hurry up." ”

It really shouldn't have been said, and although the others were wearing masks and couldn't make out their expressions, Serra seemed to realize that something was wrong with her tone.

No. 1 sneered and wiped the tears from his nose and said, "Thank you so much!" ”

After saying that the No. 1 mask fell, he took out an incineration device and threw it on No. 9, the temperature of the flames was extremely high, and only two minutes later, No. 1 stepped forward and picked up a puff of dust and carefully placed it in the cigarette case.

"No. 2 and No. 3, go and check if there are targets in the target area, and others stay away from the water to establish a defensive line." Number 1's voice became very cold.

Number 4 quietly sent a message to Serra: "Number 9 is the eldest brother. ”

Serra was shocked.

"The only brother." Number 4 silently began to place the defenses, leaving Sierra alone for a long time, not knowing how to undo the gaffe.

When 2 and 3 reach the broken hole in the target area through the climbing device, Serra comes over and solemnly apologizes to 1.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know he was your brother."

No. 1 didn't even turn on the mask, and he replied flatly: "You are the boss, this is our job, there is nothing to be sorry for." With that, he walked away, instructing 678: "Protect Lady Serra!" ”

After what happened just now, 678 didn't dare to shout tired anymore, and hurriedly came over to protect Serra behind him, and at the same time No. 6 said: "Madam, please lean back a little, this place is still too close to the water." ”

Sierra was a little embarrassed, and she nodded and stepped back.

At this moment, the two people who arrived at the target area 2 and 3 are starting to scan the target area, which is the C-SI01 experimental area discarded by the Sky Kangaroo, although most of it is now filled with silt, but it does not hinder the scanning.

Looking at the bouncing data curve and fluctuating amplitude in the ghostly vision, No. 2 and No. 3 could clearly feel the battle that had taken place here before.

"How's it up? Found your target? "No. 1's patience is wearing.

"His DNA sequence was found, but the target is not in the area, and the sequence message is being returned." 2's scan is over, and 3 shrugs at him, and the two prepare to leave.

Just as they were about to leave, Number 2 suddenly noticed a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark.

No. 2 was shocked and hurriedly pushed away No. 3, who had his back to danger, and at the same time pulled the trigger.

With a cry of "Be careful! The surging arc of electricity turned the pounced infected xenomorph into a puff of smoke.

However, the danger was not lifted, and No. 3 found the same infected behind No. 2, and these infected people appeared out of nowhere and continued to emerge from the mud, and soon hundreds of them appeared.

"No. 1, prepare to evacuate, the mother of the infected person has been found in the target area, a large number of infected people have appeared in different species, we are responsible for the break, you retreat first!" No. 2 and No. 3 were doing back-to-back tactical support, and the agitated energy was constantly surging in the experimental area, although the alienation level of these infected people was very low, but their number was huge, and the mother body of the infected could produce a large number of gram and long xenomorphs through hatching.

"Roger, evacuation, you should also leave the target area as soon as possible, we have installed the implosion device, and it is up to you to detonate it after the evacuation is completed." After saying that, No. 1 led the group to quickly retreat along the bank of the underground river towards the DNA sequence marking route that was returned.

"The target has drifted a long way along the underground river, and the estimated distance is already 100 kilometers away." Number 4 tracks the DNA sequence signals as he walks.

"It's all a dark river? Is there no other route? ”

"Wait, recalculation."

As the group retreated, 1 noticed some shadows following below the waters.

"Hurry up, 678 pay attention to the water, have you completed your retreat on the 2nd?"

At this moment, the two of them, who were surrounded by endless infected people in the experimental area, were in a bitter battle, they were on the upper side of the inclined experimental area, nearly 100 meters away from the broken mouth, although with the help of powerful weapons, the two mercenaries were retreating little by little, but the number of enemies was too much, and as the battle continued, the experimental area began to collapse, more silt began to pour in, and the number of infected people also increased.

"Number 1, our retreat failed, ready to activate the implosion and self-destruct device! Please pay attention to the protection stance! Number 2 looked at the dying weapon energy and responded bitterly. Number 3 gritted his teeth and began to rain down ammunition frantically.

"I'm sorry brother!" 2 closes his eyes and lowers his weapon, and the fusion device on his chest begins to charge and redden.

No. 3 heyed: "It's okay, brother!" See you over there! Let these bastards go to hell with us! ”

With red eyes, Number 1 pauses and turns around and begins to recharge the ATT Protective Position.

"Prepare for the onslaught!" Hearing this, everyone hurriedly hid behind No. 1, ready to receive the impact.

After a while, the calm water began to slowly descend, and the magic kiss in the water also fled into the distance like crazy, and the whole world seemed to calm down in an instant.

Three seconds later, less than 1 kilometer from the area where a previous "wolf" class destruction had occurred, the ground began to sink violently downwards before swelling and bulging again.

The Seeker's cockpit was shocked, this time they were hovering nearby, so the impact was so great that the silt contracted and exploded suddenly after the depression reached its limit, but this time it was much less powerful, but within an area of nearly ten square kilometers, the surface of the swamp trembled in the churning of ripples.

Another pit has appeared.

The Seeker pilot, who was making emergency evasion and flight adjustments, sent another message to Serra, but the signal was gone again.

At this moment, after the impact came, Serra and his party were once again rushed into the dark river, and with the loss of control of the exoskeleton, everyone rushed down along the turbulent waves of the dark river, this time the impact was more fierce than the previous one, because the previous impact in the underground lake could be dissolved by the huge underground water system, but the energy of the shock wave was concentrated in this dark river in large quantities, and the water flow was more like an angry beast, pushing everyone.

After a long time, everything finally calmed down.

Serra, who was the first to wake up, saw the sun sink in the west, and the cobblestone complex that stood on the shore began to darken and darken.

As soon as the exoskeleton restarted, the Seeker's signal came in.

"Ms. Serra!? Great, finally got in touch with you! Are you alright? Where are you now? I'm here to remind you that your vital signs are weak?! ”

Serra opened the mask and vomited a mouthful of blood, and she was injured in the shock and subsequent currents, and the life-support device indicated a ruptured liver, a vital index of 47, and urgent medical treatment.

Looking around, Sierra only found 4 in a comatose state, but no one else.

Struggling to stay awake, Sierra must get support before sunset.

"The coordinates have been returned, come and save us!"
