Chapter 7: The Darkest Hour
S City turned into a dead ruin in an instant under the rendering of biological nuclear weapons, and various creatures that were silent in the ruins woke up one after another in the next dozens of days, and at the same time, Ye Chen, who had just woken up, witnessed the logic of the scientists' prediction of 'divine punishment' for the first time, and witnessed the fight between mutant monsters.
Because of the previous injection of the medicine and the confirmation of the current bionuclear mutation, Ye Chen had to conduct a comprehensive examination of his body, but unexpectedly found that he didn't seem to have anything unusual, except for the tattered military uniform on his body, he was a little glad that his guess might be right, these drugs were just theoretical, at least he was still himself, of course, he was even more glad that he was still alive at this time.
After witnessing the scene of monsters eating each other, Ye Chen, who was a soldier, immediately had an epiphany that in terms of the current situation, it was necessary to follow the survival rules of a sniper, and after carefully observing the surrounding environment, he slowly got up after confirming that there was no potential threat, and quickly grabbed the helicopter and investigated the surrounding environment again, the surroundings were extremely calm without the slightest movement, except for the helicopter cab that was pulled away by the monster and ate the pilot just now, the co-pilot of the company had long since disappeared, The hatch behind the helicopter was open at this time, and at the same time, there were several blood stains that seemed to be left by the corpse being dragged from the cabin to a long distance, looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Chen only felt a chill like a cold sea flowing into his blood.
However, the bloody scene of blood splashing in the cabin made Ye Chen unimaginable, what happened in the cabin, at this time, the cabin was already empty, not even a single corpse was left, only those scratches on the bulkhead that had been vividly used for purpose and a few blood marks that did not seem to struggle went straight to the direction of the city, the scratches were so tight that even the metal could not escape the torn end, there were several LR17 rifles scattered on the ground not far from the cabin, as well as two tactical backpacks, which were thrown out by the helicopter when it fell, Just like Ye Chen himself.
Ye Chen tried to recall the memory before the helicopter fell, but until he thought that the headache was still blank, "It must be that I knocked my head when I landed, which caused this transient amnesia, Shaohua, you give me a good life, my brother still owes you two lives." β
After that, Ye Chen changed into a set of special forces gilly clothes from the tactical backpack, and at the same time armed almost all the things that could be cuffed in the tactical backpack to himself, and after some tossing, he instantly became a fully armed special forces soldier.
Walking out of the cabin, Ye Chen turned his head to look at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, and suddenly a more desperate aura completely covered him, and the door of the air-raid shelter had been completely opened at some point, or it was closed urgently because it was scorched, and some of the corpses were derived into the cave.
At this time, the barrier located in the western suburbs was a completely different scene compared to the hellish world outside, and in the conference room on the fifth floor of the barrier, there were 6 people sitting on both sides of the long desk, several people looked at each other but were silent, and finally a harmless old man broke the silence.
Luo Xiangdong: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the pictures taken by several officers, you have also seen that the loss of communication seems to be just a small episode in this disaster, and it is really nothing compared to the world of demons outside." β
Tian Yu (member of the ancient gods, female): "This is expected, as long as we are still in order, you better not have any bad ideas." "This is a handsome girl, who seems to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, but her hearty tone exudes an aura that is not shocked.
Luo Xiangdong looked at the crowd and continued, "Then in your opinion, what kind of order should we follow for the time being? β
Tian Yu: "Continue to send outliers (human mutants) to clean up the gluttony (animal mutants), wait for the radiation concentration to be reduced to 5 hausefers/sun (nuclear radiation unit), and organize members to rescue the surviving citizens and go to the dawn." β
Luo Xiangdong: "It sounds pretty good, but have you ever thought about it, you all know those gluttonies, in less than 20 days, there are mutants that have evolved to level 3, and they abound, except for the first few days of round-up and hunting, in recent days, there have been heavy casualties in the organization but none of them have succeeded, not to mention the difficulty of eliminating them in the future, even if you can really get out of S City one day, then what, who can guarantee that the gluttony in the wild area will not be stronger, take 10,000 steps back and say that even if it is dawn one day, Will they accept the surviving humans, but will they accept the surviving monsters? Luo Xiangdong said, and threw an empty injection that had been injected into the center of the table.
Yang Yang: "Please rest assured, the organization has taken these things into account beforehand, the future world will no longer allow only human beings to act recklessly, and the state will give complete freedom to protect the aliens of human survivors and award the highest honors, you will be treated as national heroes." β
Luo Xiangdong: "Hahaha...... Hero? If you talk about strategies for dealing with unknown species, Miss Yang, you are the most vocal, as a biological expert, will you spend a few years or even longer to learn about a new species? I'm sure most of the time you'd rather go straight to your scalpel, which saves time, is intuitive, and most importantly you get what you want quickly, right? β
Yang Yang: "What you said is very objective, but it can't be all at the same time, not to mention that we should discuss how to save more people now, instead of starting infighting here, for those gluttony, please give me a period of time I will definitely find a way to restrain their mutations." β
Duan Feng (one of the members of the Phoenix Phoenix): "Miss Yang, don't pretend to be high now, everyone here has been injected with the medicine you gave, but you are the only one who has not been injected, do you want to dissect it with us in the future." β
Tian Yu: "Miss Duan, please pay attention to your words. β
Duan Feng: "Tian Yu... Although you were a well-known national swordsmanship champion before, but now you may not have a good understanding of the situation, so why don't you tell you directly that there are only two paths in front of you today, either join or destroy. β
As soon as Duan Feng's words fell, the door of the conference room was suddenly slammed open, and a lizard dragon with a pair of giant wings and a height of two meters walked in like a lizard.
"The negotiations are over." This person is Qin Long, who is known as the 'Dragon and Phoenix Twin Heroes' with Duan Feng, and has been injected with the 'Ancient Gene-Lizard Dragon' before. Qin Long was Luo Xiangdong's right-hand man before the nuclear explosion, and he was a well-known ruthless character in the business world, and his character was the same, before the nuclear explosion, the Phoenix organization was forced to be taken over by the ancient gods, and during the period after the nuclear explosion, they had long been fed up with the group of dolls pointing fingers at them, nominally carrying out the action of cleaning up gluttony outside, but in fact, in order to speed up the evolution, they fought everywhere and gnawed their fellow clans, and now they have evolved to a level 3 mutation, and today's coup d'Γ©tat, Qin Long is the trump card in Li Quan's hands.
A man sitting next to Yang Yang remained silent, and finally got up slowly in the face of the sudden change, and sneered: "What.... Is this going to be a coup? Wu Gang (member of the ancient gods, national free fighting champion).
Qin Long knew that the two-meter-tall man in front of him was an enhancer who had been injected with the 'Ancient Gene-Enhancement', so he didn't dare to act rashly before, and now it was not as good as before, how could he say that he was now the only one in S City who had evolved to level 3, and he was absolutely confident in the face of ordinary enhancers.
"What if there is a coup d'Γ©tat...... Can you stop it" Qin Long's deep voice shook like a thunderbolt, and everyone present roared in their ears and retreated again and again, but compared to his amazing strength and speed, this was nothing at all, before the words fell, Qin Long twisted his shoulders and two huge wings, like two phantoms, and attacked Wu Gang.
However, in the next moment, everyone who had not yet woken up from Qin Long's burst of amazing power was stunned again, because Qin Long had already knelt down in front of Wu Gang at some point, and his wings were actually broken by Wu Gang, as if they were about to be broken at any time, Qin Long endured the severe pain and wanted to struggle to get up, but his wings were held down by Wu Gang, as long as he forcibly got up, the wings would definitely be broken by Wu Gang.
Li Quan: "Okay, this farce should also end, and in the future, continue to follow the decree of the ancient gods and dare to have different intentions, don't worry about killing, don't go on quickly." β
Wu Gang threw Qin Long out with both hands and slammed it on the opposite stone wall, Qin Long spurted out a mouthful of blood, lying on the ground and not moving, Wu Gang continued: "You don't need to continue acting, from tomorrow onwards, all Phoenix members will be personally led by us to hunt gluttony, and they are not allowed to enter and exit the barrier without our permission, otherwise they will be dealt with according to law, and those who eat 'white birds' or 'aliens' will be punished." (Shiratori represents a human without mutation)
Wu Gang walked out of the conference room with Yang Yang and Tian Yu, and turned to the 7th floor of the exclusive floor for the members of the ancient gods, and the faces of the few people who stayed in the conference room were extremely ugly at this time, they were glad that Wu Gang had not killed them, because they both knew that in terms of the current situation, strength represented the legal system, and there was no morality at all, not to mention that they were unkind first.
Luo Xiangdong was shocked by the scene just now: "I didn't expect them to really keep a hand, it seems that we underestimated these dolls." β
Li Quan had a gloomy face: "Xiao Duan, you go to find a few people to treat Qin Long's injuries, Lao Luo, you go and arrange some people, find an opportunity to leave the team when you carry out the mission tomorrow, go to the air-raid shelter to develop, and wait for the next instructions, it seems that you and I should make a move." Li Quan's eyes glowed with golden light as he spoke, and it was obvious that they were no longer human eyes.
Wu Gang and the three of them slowly walked towards the staircase with flat expressions in front of the eyes of the Phoenix members, but after they just stepped on the 7th floor, their expressions immediately became a little anxious, and they quickly entered the larger room in the middle of the 7th floor.
Standing on the floor in the center of the room, sitting on the sofa next to it, and leaning on the edge of the billiard table were all tall and athletic enhancers, a total of twelve people, which made the spacious activity room immediately become a crowded room, and the dozen or so 'enhancers' who saw the three of them returning safely all nodded their heads in consolation.
"It's finally back"
"Are they going to have a coup d'Γ©tat?"
At this moment, Wu Gang's eyes were black, and he suddenly fainted.
Yang Yang: "Light rain... You guys take Wu Gang to heal quickly, don't let their people find out. β
Tian Yu: "The people of Phoenix did plan a coup d'Γ©tat, but they were temporarily suppressed by Wu Gang, and it is estimated that they will not easily try again in a short period of time, unless they evolve a level 5 outlier." β
"So what do we do next?"
Tian Yu: "When Wu Gang wakes up, let's make a decision together, this time I am fortunate to have Dr. Yang's catalytic agent." β
On the other side, Ye Chen, who was in the Purple Mountain, had already gone deep into the depths of the air-raid shelter at this time, the air-raid shelter located in the Purple Mountain of S City was about 20 kilometers long, the cave was rugged and intricate, and there were many safe houses, supply warehouses, hospitals, water vapor treatment stations, etc. along the road, but Ye Chen was no stranger to this in-depth air-raid shelter, because he had studied with Zhang Shaohua several times on the map earlier.
With the light of the tactical flashlight, Ye Chen gradually realized that the inside of the bomb shelter seemed to have been cleared by some monster several times, and the mutilated human stumps and the occasional scratches on the wall were enough to see, and Ye Chen suddenly found that there seemed to be a fiery red energy body approaching him far away from him in front of him, and Ye Chen was a little blinded...'This kind of image is clearly a living creature focused by energy, and it can be seen without wearing a tactical helmet, is it...'
In order to verify his conjecture, Ye Chen decisively turned off the flashlight, hid behind a low wall, and when he looked ahead again, he was still like this, "So, am I also mutated......
In a trance, the energy body has been captured not far from Ye Chen, under the outline of the energy, the comer seems to be like a giant spider, when there is only more than 50 meters away from Ye Chen, Ye Chen finally came to his senses, and shot decisively, but saw that the energy body quickly evaded, and dodged left and right several times, and jumped up and attacked straight towards Ye Chen, just as the energy body jumped up, the gunfire stopped abruptly, "Damn, I forgot to check the magazine..."
'Boom...'
'... It's a scorpion...'
The huge scorpion tail instantly smashed the low wall around Ye Chen, and in the panic, Ye Chen threw a burning rod, because in his eyes, there was nothing to see clearly except for the fiery red energy body.
The moment the burning stick lit up, Ye Chen almost didn't sit back on the ground, the two-meter-tall giant scorpion was blood-colored, and even its back was covered with blood-red hair.
"Chief of Staff... It's me."
"Xiao Hong?"
"It's me, I'm Wang Hong"
Ye Chen, who had just recovered from his exclamation, suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, remembering that Wang Hong had asked him before the nuclear explosion, would he still recognize him when he turned into a scorpion, and now it seems that he can't recognize him even if he is killed.
Ye Chen: "I didn't expect you... It's really turned into a scorpion..."
Wang Hong: "But Chief of Staff, why did you only have your eyes change?"
Ye Chen hurriedly touched his eyes: "Huh? What has become of it? β
Wang Hong: "It became golden, like two small light bulbs. β
Ye Chen tried to touch his eyes again: "Why can't I feel it..."
At the same time that Ye Chen covered his eyes, Wang Hong suddenly hugged Ye Chen with his teeth and claws, and was frightened by Ye Chen, who was suddenly hugged, and struggled desperately, but the next moment he heard Wang Hong crying:
"I thought I was left alone... It's great to see you alive... Woo... Woo..."
"Poof... Stinky boy, I almost scared you to death, and I don't let go soon. β
"Oh... The chief of staff, from today onwards, you go there, and I will follow you. β
"That's good, you take the big pliers off my neck first,"
"Oh..."
