Chapter 24: A Double Whammy

The evocative creak of the silent corridor sounded again, and the door to Room 1-1077 was opened again like a dark crack to the gates of hell, but this time it was not a delicacy that greeted the monster, but a high-explosive grenade that had been pulled open.

The grenade carried Ye Chen's anger into the darkness, and then two dull explosions rang out, shaking a burst of stone chips above the tunnel.

When the dust settled, a thick pool of blood overflowed from under the crack in the door, and Ye Chen confirmed that there were no living creatures inside, so he opened the door completely.

As the door was opened, a strong fishy smell came to the nostrils, and the soldiers behind Ye Chen quickly formed a shooting formation and turned on the tactical flashlight, and the scene in the room suddenly made all the soldiers present gasp.

About dozens of giant centipedes had been blown to pieces, and some of the tentacles of some half-centipedes were still struggling, Ye Chen walked into the room and found the soldier in the corner of the wall who had been gnawed almost with only a head left.

Walking to the corpse, Ye Chentao took off his coat and gently covered the soldier's corpse, then turned around and scanned the layout of the room.

Because it stands to reason that these monsters should not appear in the safe house, especially when they are closed, after some searching, a secret passage was found under the corpses of several giant centipedes.

Ye Chen reached the entrance of the cave, a breeze slid gently, and there was a chill in the palm of his hand, it was obvious that this tunnel should go straight to the ground, otherwise the air should not be flowing.

After that, Ye Chen walked out of the house: "Make a mark, seal it permanently." ”

As the troops continued on, room after room still open, and nothing was found, except for the occasional startled number of giant beetles and scattered white maggots.

It wasn't until the team drove to a small hospital composed of more than a dozen infirmaries that a bloody blue coat on the ground caught Ye Chen's attention, this coat was too familiar, especially the eye-catching words "Night Willow Flag" on his chest.

Ye Qiang, Liu Qingyu, and Qi Xianliang are composed of the homonym of their surnames, and they also specially customized their overalls for this purpose, and what Ye Chen found at this time was precisely Ye Qiang's overalls.

In the darkness, Ye Chen only felt dizzy, because his younger brother and Liu Qi were almost inseparable, and he personally sent them to the bomb shelter on the day of the nuclear explosion, and all three of them were wearing the same overalls at that time.

The energy-saving lamp on the roof was broken and only one was left, and with the dim light of the lamp, Ye Chen picked up his coat tremblingly and held it tightly in his hand.

The wife and children have not yet been found and the bad news of his younger brother has come, at this time, Ye Chen seems to be crazy looking for every corner, his heart is calling out his brother's name again and again, at this moment how much he hopes to see the stubborn brother who loves him again.

Since their parents left, every conversation between him and his younger brother would turn into a fierce quarrel, so much so that in recent years they have become accustomed to silence, but in Ye Chen's heart, he has never blamed his younger brother, he even made up all the debts to his parents to his younger brother, leaving all the faults to himself.

In fact, there is no hatred between brothers, maybe a smile and a hug can let each other go, but no, time has passed, it seems that it is too late to say anything, people always lose or are about to lose when they can really reveal their hearts, but there is no regret medicine in the world, when you really face the loss, maybe there is only that tears of remorse.

Even so, in the face of the double blow of the disappearance of his wife, children and younger brother at the same time, the heart-piercing pain was almost uncontrollable, but in front of the soldiers, he still did not show a little negative emotion, Ye Chen knew that in the face of this kind of disaster, the disappearance almost meant death, but he knew better that the thousands of refugees and those soldiers in the bomb shelter needed him to lead, lead them to live, and lead them out of the darkness to light and hope.

Three hours later, Ye Chen and the others became the first troops to return to the center of the bomb shelter.

"The chief is back..."

A smile appeared on the dark faces of the soldiers, and many of the soldiers who stayed behind rushed forward to hug and salute each other's returning comrades.

Ye Chen: "The third and fifth battalions didn't come back?" ”

Lion Scorpion Xiaohong's scorpion-like military salute was the same as always: "Report to the chief, there is no return." ”

"Everyone defend in place, Xiaohong, you follow me to Tunnel 4." Ye Chen said and walked straight to Cave 4.

"Yes, chief" Xiao Hong turned around and winked at his comrades behind him, meaning "take care, I'll go first" and then stepped into the darkness.

"Was the purr baby grimacing just now?"

"I think it's posing..."

"No... After a few hours of getting along, the soldiers who stayed behind looked at Xiaohong as no longer as strange as they had been, and seemed to have returned to their former bohemianism.

"Is there something going on inside? It feels like the chief has changed after he comes out. ”

"Xiaohua sacrificed... Chief of Staff Ye almost tried his best to save but still couldn't save him, and finally watched Xiaohua being torn apart by a monster, it was too miserable..."

"Yes, when I saw the chief desperately pulling Xiao Hua's arm, I really felt that Chief Ye was too great, and now I finally know why Xiao Hua took the initiative to give up survival in that situation, and it is my honor to follow such a chief."

"It's not just you, we're too..."

“...”

There are two main reasons why Ye Chen took Xiao Hong alone, one is that the tunnel is still dark, and Xiao Hong has a certain night vision, and the driving speed is much faster than that of ordinary soldiers, and the other is that if something happens with Xiao Hong's strength, as long as the opponent is not too strong, Xiao Hong can completely control the field, after all, four hours have passed, Liu Erbao and they have not been able to turn on the power, which is not a good sign.

After the two of them drove for more than 20 minutes, the top light of the tunnel suddenly turned on, and after walking in the dark for a long time, in the face of the sudden dim light, the two of them actually felt a little magnificent, and at the same time finally breathed a sigh of relief, and accelerated their pace to run to the depths of the tunnel.

When they passed through a fork in the road, they met seven or eight squatting soldiers, and learned that Liu Erbao had deployed soldiers at each fork, and the distance between the intersections was also within the communication range of the walkie-talkie, so that not only could they take care of the front and back, but also control the real-time information of the whole tunnel.

Ye Chen couldn't help but admire this 3rd battalion commander who was a little dumbfounded on weekdays.

When Ye Chen passed through a few more forks in the road, he found that some soldiers had already found survivors, and they were helping them to go out at this time, and when they saw the chief, the soldiers all saluted the chief happily.

It is Xiao Hong who can give those weak survivors not lightly, they are already very weak, relying on the support of the soldiers can barely walk, who knows that a big scorpion suddenly rushed out, just Xiao Hong's resolute posture, the front of the people directly paralyzed on the ground, the soldiers had to go out one by one.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, I'm a good person..."

"Xiaohong, you better go back." Ye Chen saw one civilian after another falling, he really couldn't bear it, he didn't expect Xiao Hong's deterrent power to be so strong, according to this, eighty percent of the survivors inside would have to be knocked down by him, wouldn't that be causing trouble to the troops.

"Chief, I'm ......"

"It's an order." Ye Chen saw that Xiao Hong looked like he would not give up, and did not give him the slightest chance to explain.

"Okay..."Xiao Hong replied dejectedly, turned around and left.

Looking at Xiao Hong's lost back, Ye Chen smiled helplessly

"You go to hole 5 for me and make a move."

"Yes, chief" Xiao Hong was a little overjoyed when he received Ye Chen's order, after all, he always let him go to the door with his ability, and he was inevitably a little aggrieved.

"Stay safe"

"Don't worry..."

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hong had disappeared into the tunnel
