Chapter 8: Stealth
The warm sun did not stop under the oceans and mountains because of the evil of human beings, and shone on the human world as always, but the once vast blue sky has long been replaced by a dim haze, and rolling dark clouds have gathered above the haze at some point, as if it is preparing for the complete washing of the dark ruin world.
Later... A thunderclap accompanied by bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, a storm came, the scope of almost all areas of country Z, located in the west of Qingshan County, S City, Canghe Dam, the river has already overflowed all the warning lines to the top of the dam, but the whole dam is still firmly blocking the rushing flood.
Li Quan's office on the fifth floor of the barrier
Luo Xiangdong: "Lao Jia, do you think there is a possibility that the Canghe Reservoir will naturally burst its embankment?" ”
Jia Feng: "Although this dam is a little old, its quality is absolutely reliable, and it is far from the nuclear explosion site, so I think it is unlikely that the dam will burst naturally." ”
One of the mutants got up and said, "Why don't you let me make a move, and I promise to mess him up in less than half a day." "This person's name is Tan Ze, originally a ruffian gangster in S City, he is a well-known fighting maniac in the local area, he is a little poor, but he is very righteous and angry, five years ago, he was recognized by Li Quan and recruited under his command, so far he is willing to start Li Quan's fist, carry out all the tasks deployed by Li Quan, and before the nuclear explosion, he injected the 'ancient gene-Kui Niu' after the nuclear explosion and became a giant man with two horns.
Luo Xiangdong waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't worry...... The blasting was planned to eliminate the aliens outside to the greatest extent, but now it is completely different, because of the intervention of the ancient gods, we are no longer afraid of the surviving aliens, and even a large part of them can be used by us, and those aliens are not the necessary food for us to evolve to the next stage, so keep the dam for the time being, and some will be used in the future. ”
Li Quan: "Lao Luo is reasonable, to what extent has the security diameter outside been expanded now?" ”
Tan Ze: "Some time ago, it expanded to 500 meters away, and yesterday the southern group was attacked by gluttony and retreated to 400 meters, except for more than ten brothers who were injected with medicine, the others are ordinary outliers of the first and second grades, and it is difficult to compete with those gluttony head-on." ”
Li Quan: "How can this be, aren't you even as good as those animals, not to mention that they are equipped with all kinds of advanced weapons, what a bunch of waste." ”
Luo Xiangdong: "You don't have to get angry, I have analyzed those video materials in detail, first of all, those laser weapons have almost no advantage because of the low air visibility, and those who dare to attack the army are not very easy to deal with if they either raid from the air or break through the ground, but the most important thing is the number of our troops, in fact, it is not enough to continue to expand the security diameter, I suggest that the scattered squads be recalled from the new, and let them go deep into the city to catch some civilian aliens into the team to expand." ”
Li Quan: "Before we solve the people of the ancient gods, I am afraid that it will not do us any good to expand our strength, and the visibility outside will definitely improve after this rain, and I am looking for an opportunity to kill the people of the ancient gods, by the way... Leave that female scientist behind. ”
Luo Xiangdong: "What the commander said is very true..."
In the wind and rain, the gate of the western suburbs was slowly opened, and several tall enhancers rushed out of the door, they were armed with PPL12 portable machine guns, their strong muscles were exposed like pieces of hard rock, only the tactical mine bag tightly tied to the waist and several rows of machine gun shells diagonally across the chest became the only decoration on their upper body, and they were uniformly wearing black leather pants under the waist, of course, only for men, and a female reinforcement in the team was just one more black leather bra than them, Behind them were dozens of strangely shaped aliens and five trucks full of ordinary soldiers, all dressed in protective suits and armed with various firearms, slowly driving down the muddy roads towards the city under the guidance of the reinforcements.
The enhancers at the forefront had not yet noticed that the dozen or so aliens following behind them had sneaked out of the team and disappeared without a trace in the heavy rain.
On the other side, Ye Chen and Wang Hong had already groped deeper into the air-raid shelter at this time, the safe houses and storage rooms they saw along the road were all ransacked, and even several hospitals were washed in blood, leaving only many mutilated doctors' bodies in the hospital, these remnants and the previous air-raid shelter pass just proved that Li Quan had already made careful preparations for the nuclear explosion in the air-raid shelter, but why did the commander hide it from him and Zhang Shaohua, unless there was some secret hidden in the cave that he didn't want the two of them to know, Thinking of this, Ye Chen silently looked into the depths of the pitch-black cave.
"Xiaohong, when did you wake up and what were you doing inside?" At this time, Ye Chen had already prepared for the worst, but he didn't plan to give up hope, after all, they had only explored a third of the whole process now.
"I woke up a few days ago, because I didn't wear a seat belt before and was thrown off the plane and buried under the gravel next to the bomb shelter, when I woke up, I saw that my arms turned into crab claws, and my legs were missing and there were a few more big claws, I was excited and fainted, and when I woke up again, it should have been yesterday, I don't know how long I walked in the hole, anyway, I was lost at the time, until I saw your flashlight."
"Then you haven't met a single living person?"
"No, but there seem to be a few tunnel openings blocked at the center turntable, and there are some monster corpses next to the entrances, I don't dare to approach because I look like this, and no one answers when I shout, and then I left."
"Well, your choice is completely correct, so from now on, if you meet any living people, you can stay behind, just let me come."
"Yes, Chief"
Saying that, the huge scorpion pincers swept across Ye Chen's face like the wind, and the hard exoskeleton gurgled, Wang Hong saluted a scorpion-like military salute seriously, and Ye Chen's heart jumped in horror when he saw it.
"Xiao Hong, in the future, military salutes or hugs and the like will be exempted, oh... Also, the handshake is also exempt. ”
"Yes, Chief," said the giant pincer whistling by again...
On the streets leading to the city in the western suburbs of S City, the mighty army braved the heavy rain to move slowly, and the reinforcements in front of them watched the surroundings vigilantly with heavy weapons, lest the gluttony attack like a ghost.
A few panicked gunshots broke the rustling of raindrops, and then the army fire in the rear covered a ruin, these soldiers had followed the Phoenix Organization on several missions, and they still had lingering fears in the face of cruel gluttony, and the scene of their comrades being eaten alive was still shocking, so they were like the frightened birds that landed on the treetops, as long as there was a little wind and grass, they would definitely shoot and destroy them.
Seeing this, the reinforcements in front of the living place immediately stopped moving forward, and three of them jumped up with heavy weapons and jumped back, grabbed the side of the military vehicle and looked at the fire-covered ruins for a few moments, and one of them raised his hand and scolded:
"Stop shooting..."Jiang Wu (member of the ancient gods, former 3rd level non-commissioned officer of the special forces of a military region)
The gunfire stopped, Jiang Wu jumped again until he jumped into the ruins, and after a while he walked out with a large beetle full of holes that had been beaten, threw the basketball-sized insect in front of the soldiers, and said:
"As a soldier, you don't even have the minimum quality of a soldier, and a bug can easily mess up your position... What kind of system. ”
"In the future, everyone must confirm the situation before acting, and we can't shoot blindly, after all, our ammunition is reserved for the gluttons, otherwise we will be really dangerous when we encounter a crowd of gluttony, once the ammunition is insufficient." Lin Feifei (female, member of the Old Gods, enhancer, former special forces sniper)
"Do you dare to come even if you're gluttonous?" A soldier asked
"Not necessarily, animals are animals after all, and who knows if they smell so much food? Okay, let's move on, it's almost to the city. Lin Feifei said, jumped to the front of the army with Jiang Wu, and continued to march towards the city.
The team continued to move forward, the rain kept falling, it seemed that there was never any intention to stop, the enhancers in front of the team and the outliers of the Phoenix organization were relatively good, after all, their physique was several times stronger than ordinary humans, but the ordinary soldiers in the rear were a little unbearable, and now in addition to the weight of their own equipment, they also had to face the muddy and abnormal road, plus the rain on the protective goggles that had been blurring non-stop, making them feel very uncomfortable, but what made them more uncomfortable was not just the physical suffering.
"Do you have to come out on a rainy day to save people, it's really a bully, I don't know if I can save people if I go down like this, we have to put our lives in first."
"In other words, instead of being eaten by those monsters sooner or later, it is better to be killed directly in the first place."
"You two just don't say a few words, I don't know what I'm trying to do when I'm alive, my family is gone... My daughter-in-law is gone... I got married to my daughter-in-law last month, and my parents were happy to feed us candy at the time, but it was gone... Nothing is gone. The soldier sobbed as he spoke.
The comrade-in-arms next to him didn't speak anymore after hearing this, just silently patted him on the shoulder and continued to move forward.
However, all this has long been heard by the reinforcements at the front of the team, because in addition to the physical strengthening, other organs have also been strengthened to varying degrees.
"We find a place for them to rest, and by the way, to appease and appease, such a state is tantamount to sending them to death." Lin Feifei walked up to Jiang Wu and whispered
"Well, let's go there." Jiang Wu pointed to a building not far ahead that had not yet completely collapsed.
"Da Lei, you go and eliminate potential safety hazards."
"Well... My old grandson will come when he goes" Sun Dalei (a special forces demoman)
Sun Dalei is completely different from the equipment of other enhancers, except for Lin Feifei, who is carrying a heavy *** that is almost as tall as her, the rest of the enhancers are all armed with ammunition and portable machine guns, only Sun Dalei is full of various types of tactical bags, on his back, waist, arms, legs, and even on his chest, there are two army green bags, which look a little funny like a young lacewing, carrying his baby sneaking in the darkness.
A few explosions rang out later, and the dust raised near the building was quickly carried to the ground by the rain and flowed lower down in the direction of the city.
Lin Feifei stood on the side of the road: "Everyone, follow up, there is a building in front, we can go there and rest for a while." ”
Hearing Lin Feifei's greeting, the pace of the soldiers quickened a lot, and Sun Dalei in front of him was already standing by a window on the fifth floor of the building: "Confirm safety..."
"I said Da Lei, you better take it easy, you don't worry about falling down, I'm still worried that you will blow up that full of **."
"You don't understand this, right, if it's a finished product, it's really a little unstable, but it's not dangerous to classify and store all the raw materials of **, do you think I play with such a bag?"
"Oh? Those ** were all made on the fly? ”
"Otherwise, I have always improvised blasting according to the degree of blasting and the capacity of the blasting point."
"What a fork...."
Except for a few trucks parked not far from the abandoned building, the rest of the team members all entered the third floor of the building, because the first and second floors had been completely buried by the collapse.
Jiang Wu was the first to enter the building, it seems that this building should have been a museum before, and some of the old ancient utensils in it are still displayed in the marble lattice on the side of the hall, although some have been cracked, the foundation pillar in the center of the hall supporting the whole building is quite strong, and it is not tilted or cracked, and after everyone entered the hall, Lin Feifei keenly found that there seemed to be more than ten different species missing, and after discovering the abnormality, she did not speak, because some of the alien hearing is also keen, The soldiers sat in a circle enjoying a brief period of comfort, and the remaining dozens of alien nonchalant threes gathered together in small groups and muttered something in a low voice.
Lin Feifei pulled Jiang Wu to the side and played a few sign languages unique to special forces, 'There are more than ten people missing in the team'.
Jiang Wu's face was full of doubts, and he also typed out sign language, "When, did you see it?" ’
Lin Feifei: 'I didn't see it, I guess they may have deliberately detached,'
Jiang Wu: 'After a while, you should pay attention to safety'
Lin Feifei: 'Okay'
"Don't you want to live?" broke the silence with a thud
Everyone looked, but saw a young soldier who had taken off his protective helmet at some point, the sweat and tears on his face were mixed with wet, sitting next to the stone pillar in the center of the hall, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes and lit them, and after taking a few puffs hard, he suddenly said with a wry smile: "It's really cool..."
Jiang Wu turned around and walked to the soldier and slowly squatted down: "Comrade, can you bring me one?" ”
"Give—" The soldier was also hearty
Jiang Wu took the cigarette and sat down slowly next to the soldier, Jiang Wusheng's five big and three thick were now strengthened, and sitting with ordinary soldiers couldn't help but look a little out of place.
Jiang Wu spit out thick smoke and said lightly, "How old is this year?" ”
"21 up..."
"Why take off the helmet"
"There is no why..."
Jiang Wu paused and continued: "Maybe for you now, it's the end of the world, but for me, I have experienced all this when I was 12 years old, the earthquake in R City that year took the lives of all my relatives, my parents, sister, grandfather, and grandmother all left me, at that time I felt that I was the only one in the world who was lonely, but fortunately I survived, looking back, I realized how brave I was at that time, Today, in the face of this kind of disaster, we don't need to blame country M or anyone else, because for the war human beings are losers, but human civilization will never end here, think carefully about the survival we can survive is not a living miracle, everyone here is a miracle in exchange for the departure of hundreds of millions of people, but also carries the last sustenance of each of our relatives, Think about how we should face the last moment of our lives, how much we hope that our loved ones can still live well, if there is another world, I believe that they must be far away all the time to pray for us, hope that we live bravely, what do you think? ”
The soldier was actually just a kid who had just come out of school, and most of the people present were actually children, including some of the outliers.
"But I miss them so much," the young soldier burst into tears
"Cry if you want to... Who said that men can't cry, cry and put on a helmet, and live bravely for the sake of our beloved. ”
Lin Feifei and the reinforcements on the side were all moved to watch the young soldiers crying, caressing the corners of their eyes and trying their best to suppress their sadness.
A moment later, the soldier who had taken off his helmet stood up and saluted Jiang Wu.
"Captain Jiang, thank you..."
Jiang Wu got up and patted the soldier's shoulder: "It's good... All the brothers present are good, and we cannot guarantee that we will all live to reach the dawn in the future, but we will fight side by side with you to live and die hand in hand until the dawn."
However, just when everyone was firm in their faith, a silent deadly trap had quietly approached them.....
