Chapter Twenty-Three: The Monster Inside the Door
A full moon in the night sky is like the eyes of other civilizations, staring at the bruised earth in the dark, and some huge creatures in the Canghe Reservoir under the night sky jump out of the water from time to time, sparkling and shining under the reflection of the moonlight, looking like stars dancing on the water from a distance.
On the embankment, a person and a Jiao quietly looked at a bonfire in a village not far away, and the figures around the fire moved, and bursts of laughter were heard from time to time, which looked particularly hearty in the silent night sky.
"We are all old, people in this life, after all, we are still young...."Jiaolong is like a giant python entrenched in the thin stream, this person's name is Li Hengyang, is Zhang Shaohua and Ye Chen's former old comrades-in-arms, after retiring from the army, he voluntarily returned to his hometown to work as a sanitation worker in Canghe, and chose to guard the dam for the rest of his life.
Li Hengyang's parents were swept away by the flood of the Canghe River in the early years, and there has been no news since then, when the dam was not built, and later he entered the army, and he was a soldier all his life, and he did not find a wife until he retired from the army, maybe he has long been accustomed to being alone.
During the nuclear explosion, he was swept into the river by the shock wave and evolved into a dragon, in fact, Lao Li had already looked down on life and death, and it was precisely because of this fearless mentality that the combination of high-quality factors in the body and aquatic creatures and ancient factors was triggered, which created the evolution and birth of a generation of dragons, in fact, the birth of every enhancer was not accidental.
"Yes..."Zhang Shaohua responded silently
"What? Still missing your family? I'm so glad I didn't go to that girl back then. ā
"Poof..."Zhang Shaohua snorted and laughed. It's better not to mention your past..."
At that time, Li Hengyang fell in love with a little girl from the south who came to the military region to do a performance, and the two fell in love at first sight.
So the head of the military region authorized him, approved the leave and the southern girl to go south, if the family agreed, it would also be a matter of everyone's mind, but there were unforeseen circumstances, just as they left, Li Hengyang got off the train south by mistake because of diarrhea, and since then there has been no contact with the southern little sister from the two sides, and later his comrades-in-arms said that he lost a daughter-in-law with a soak of.
"I don't know where Ye Chen is at this time, I really hope he is okay." Li Hengyang sighed and said lightly.
"In the near future, the Phoenix gang will definitely make a comeback, we can't leave S City until we find Ye Chen, and in the future, these young people will be handed over to you."
"Don't worry, these young people are very energetic, and they are all good players, as long as they are cultivated, they will be the enemy in the future."
The two looked at the sparkling water and fell into their own contemplation.
Barrier meeting room
Li Quan: "So, they're going to settle down on the side of the Canghe Reservoir?" ā
He Qingfang: "Hmph, relying on that level 6 enhancer, it's not okay." ā
Luo Xiangdong: "Keeping these people will be a hidden danger sooner or later, but if you want to uproot them, you have to think about it in the long run." ā
He Qingfang: "What about the four enhancers who were left behind, as well as the corpse." ā
Li Quan: "It's all some wall grass that can't be left, let's divide them to the various departments to eat, and notify everyone that Operation Phoenix has officially begun." ā
"Yes" The more than a dozen strong people present nodded one after another, and then withdrew from the conference room, leaving only Luo Xiangdong and Li Quan.
Li Quan: "It's a pity that we let that scientist go, if we keep her and use her, our strength will definitely expand faster." ā
Luo Xiangdong: "You don't have to worry about this, she is not the only scientist, presumably there are scientists from the ancient gods in other urban areas, and when we pacify S City, we will march to other urban areas, and it is not impossible to win the Central Plains and dominate the world at that time, why worry about not getting those scholars who are greedy for life and afraid of death." ā
Li Quan: "If you want to talk about marching formation, Ye Chen should be the person I admire the most, if you want to talk about trapping and killing the enemy Shaohua, it is one in a million, but it's a pity that these two people are dishonest with me." ā
Luo Xiangdong: "Commander, don't think too much, their betrayal will be punished sooner or later, Cao Cao didn't also slash Ma Jian with tears back then, the war is like this, and the boat against the current will eventually be eliminated." ā
Li Quan: "In this case, we must pay more attention to the new members, no matter what the period, talent is always the key to success or failure, but you can not ask for it, you must always be our Bole." ā
Luo Xiangdong: "It's not in vain that I decided to defect to you back then, and the commander's far-sightedness Xiangdong kept it in mind." ā
S city bomb shelter special zone
The 50-person army led by Ye Chen has patronized most of the No. 1 tunnel, and the high-power diesel generators in the tunnel have been started, although these generators are old and backward, they are definitely much more reliable and practical than those new generators in the rough environment.
The only problem is that someone needs to fill the generator with diesel and some auxiliary oil on a regular basis, but this is not a problem compared to being able to brighten up the entire tunnel.
"Call the third battalion commander, please answer if you receive it, call the fifth battalion commander, please answer when you receive it..."The communicator behind Ye Chen called Liu Erbao and Zhao Yong again and again, but there was always silence on the other end.
"Report chief, the distance is too far to establish communication with tunnels 4 and 5."
"I hope so." Ye Chen looked at the map of the air-raid shelter in his hand, in fact, their current location was indeed quite far away from Tunnel 4 and 5, and he really hoped that as the signal soldier said, it was because of the distance that he could not contact them.
"Report, there seems to be a survivor in this safe house." A soldier stared excitedly at the door number 1-1077 in front of him not far away, he had opened it for an unknown number of times, either empty, or there were blood stains and scratches, and after walking for so long, he had not even seen a single corpse, and the soldier was using special tools to open the thick alloy door again.
"Wait a minute" Ye Chen hurriedly stopped, but the soldier's movements were too fast, and he only heard a click that the door lock had been pried open.
"Iā" The soldier was momentarily at a loss, holding his tools in one hand and the doorknob in the other, and he didn't know what to do.
"Don't move,... Everyone stepped back and kept quiet. The reason why Ye Chen stopped it was because he actually saw a dense energy body surging behind the door, although it was not very clear, but it was enough to determine that the creature behind the door was definitely not human.
"Chief... Your eyes..."The soldier suddenly found that Ye Chen's eyes began to glow, his body trembled slightly, and the doorknob in his hand was gently tugged by him, followed by a small creaky sound from the door, and a black hole in the door had appeared on the right side of the soldier.
"Be careful..."Ye Chen hurriedly snatched towards the soldier as he spoke, but saw that the soldier's entire face suddenly began to distort, and at the same time, countless sharp black tentacles crawled out of the crack in the door, quickly embedded in the soldier's body, and the soldier struggled to close the door again, but it was too late.
Sharp tentacles swooped deep into his body like life-seeking chains from the darkness, and a force of immense power was pulling him through the cracks in the door.
Seeing that the soldier was about to be taken away, Ye Chen rushed forward and grabbed the soldier's arm and dragged it back desperately, but the power inside the door seemed to be even stronger, and at the same time, Ye Chen also clearly saw that several black hooks had penetrated into the soldier's neck.
The next moment, a strong stream of blood suddenly spurted out of the young soldier's mouth and nose, dyeing Ye Chen's camouflage uniform into ink, and those sharp tentacles seemed to be even more crazy after touching the blood, and at this time, most of the soldier's body had been pulled into the door, and only half of it was still being dragged by Ye Chen, and those damn tentacles had slowly spread along the soldier's body towards Ye Chen.
"I'm sorry... The soldier's mouth was already full of blood, and his slurred words were mixed with despair, and the blood and tears in his eyes were completely mixed together, sliding down the corners of his eyes to his cheeks.
The soldier saw that those tentacles were about to touch Ye Chen, but Ye Chen still held on to himself and had no intention of giving up at all, as if he would not give up even if he was dragged into the darkness together.
"I'm sorry... Chief: "Finally... The soldier shouted and gave up the last hope, and after the soldier broke free of Ye Chen's hand, he immediately grabbed the handle inside the door and bang... The wide metal door was closed again, leaving Ye Chen standing alone and silently outside the door, staring at the humanoid energy body inside that was quickly decomposed and covered by those monsters, gradually merging into one.
