Chapter 31: Discovery
The team of the Titan Corporation walked all the way through without any accidents, it was like an outing, and not even an ordinary zombie was encountered.
Although there is no emergency, Chen Xin feels that he is not optimistic, and always feels that the current situation is as calm as before the storm.
The mercenaries are all veterans, and they are naturally more observant than Chen Xin, and the atmosphere at this moment is not as relaxed and lively as when they were opened, and even the sound of conversation has not sounded for a long time.
Since Xie Guoping and Liuzi were able to retrieve the sample tissue after the corpse so quickly, they should not go too deep into the underground passage, so each time they explored a new passage, they were scheduled to travel a distance of 5 minutes.
Although the march went smoothly, the search for the body was not smooth, and the whole team had searched two passages, but there was still no clue.
It's not that Zhang Baixin didn't think about looking for Xie Guoping first, and there are a few old mercenaries in the team who are even better at this, it stands to reason that it will not be too difficult to find Ji according to the map, but Xie Guoping seems to have deliberately dealt with the traces left, and even Zhang Baixin couldn't judge which channel the people in the military department chose.
Instead of spending time on "guessing puzzles", the people of Titan Corporation finally chose to try it one by one.
But now, everyone thinks that the sooner the body is found, the better, and with such a depressing atmosphere, the longer it passes, the faster the morale of the combat team will fall.
Zhang Baixin was noncommittal, for him, as long as he protected Su Wan, it didn't matter if the others died.
So, when the mercenaries asked Harris to negotiate with him, he just looked at Su Wan. However, Su Wan never cared about how to arrange the journey, and she was entrusted to Zhang Baixin to deal with it along the way, and she never even took her eyes off the tablet in her hand.
Since the leader of the team had no opinion, when the team returned to the position of the large carousel, it was naturally divided into two parts, and Harris walked into the fourth passage entrance with half of the mercenaries.
Zhang Baixin naturally followed Su Wan, and Chen Xin definitely followed Zhang Baixin.
On the one hand, he felt that it was safer to follow Zhang Baixin, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take a look at the tablet in Su Wan's hand, and he knew with his toes that the things that Su Wan was looking at on the tablet must be data taken out of the underground laboratory.
However, whenever he leaned over and wanted to take a few peeks, or even pretended to be a communication problem, Su Wan would stare at him with straight eyes.
Zhang Baixin was also staring at the side, Chen Xin was naturally very interested, if he tore his face, he might not be so easy to get along with, and he would scratch his head and walk away every time.
"Director Su", Chen Xin has always been very knowledgeable, especially the matter of changing the name without expense, "Is the monitoring data in the laboratory shared wirelessly?" I don't see any data interfaces over there, huh? ”
Seeing Chen Xin coming up to talk again, Su Wan didn't stare at him coldly this time, but just put the tablet on her body and said, "Wireless transmission will form a strong pro-virus breeding environment, you should know this." ”
It was rare for Su Wanken to talk to herself, Chen Xin nodded violently.
"So, the company has been developing new means of long-distance communication, and some breakthroughs have been made. The underground laboratory uses early magnetic resonance technology. ”
"I see!" Chen Xin looked suddenly enlightened, "Then why don't you have magnetic resonance communication equipment in your team?" ”
"It can't be miniaturized, and the distance is up to 100 meters, so it doesn't make much sense." Zhang Baixin looked at it from the side, and said casually when he heard that he was talking about magnetic resonance communication equipment.
Chen Xin doesn't value these dispensable information, he just wants to talk more with the two team leaders, not to talk about it can deepen the relationship, in case a set of useful information is naturally better.
Just as he was about to continue chatting, Chen Xin suddenly heard a scream from afar!
"Something's wrong!" Zhang Baixin frowned, and looked in the direction where the screams came from with everyone.
"It shouldn't be far away, should we stay here or go over and save them?" Hearing the screams, Chen Xin was still a little worried in his heart, he had been worried for so long, and sure enough, something had happened.
"Keep moving!" Su Wan, who had never given an order, suddenly said.
"Front triangle formation! Group 1 Queen's Guard! Zhang Baixin heard Su Wan's order and immediately issued an order.
Chen Xinleng paused, he thought that even if he didn't save them, he would stick to the same place, at least so that those attacked mercenaries would have a position to rest when they escaped.
A Titan Company soldier who was more than two meters tall picked up Chen Xin, who was still in a daze, and dragged him forward.
"Let go of me, I'll go myself!" Chen Xin struggled for a moment, but the two-meter-tall warrior didn't insist, so he let go and continued to move forward.
The team had already walked more than ten meters, and except for Chen Xin, no one had any objections to Su Wan's order during the whole process, as if it was taken for granted.
"Group 2 and Group 3 alternately group and leap forward! Group 4 flank cover! Zhang Baixin was still issuing orders, arranging assault tactics, and when he was staggering past Chen Xin, he whispered, "Boy, take care of yourself, don't hold back!" ”
There were screams and cursing in the distance, in any language, but Chen Xin could only understand the national scolding and English, and the rest of the chaotic sound and the "da-da" sound of the bullet fire were mixed together, and he couldn't hear what was being said.
"Move faster! We're running out of time. The team was deserted, only the sound of footsteps as they marched, but Su Wan issued rare orders in succession.
"Found it!" The voices of the battle groups in front of them alternately leaped forward.
"Zhang Baixin, you go and take a look." Hearing the movement in front of her, Su Wan turned her head and commanded Zhang Baixin beside her.
Zhang Baixin didn't seem to hear half of it, and still followed Su Wan's side.
Su Wan saw that Zhang Baixin did not obey the order, shook her head and did not speak, but just quickened her pace.
"1 group, 2 groups block the enemy on the spot, and after 10 minutes move freely." Zhang Baixin followed Su Wan and also quickened his pace, still not forgetting to give a tactical order, "If you can return to the ship, you will be rewarded for 5 times the mission!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Xineng could see that the breathing of several mercenaries who were following him became heavier, but there were also several mercenaries who seemed to have a little hesitant look on their faces.
"10x mission reward!" Su Wan also saw the expressions of those mercenaries, but she didn't seem to want to give those mercenaries a chance to think, so she directly doubled the price.
Chen Xin didn't know how much the 10 times the reward for the task was, but it must not be a small amount, because he obviously saw that several fighters in groups of 3 and 4 had some intentions.
Since he doesn't know how much the remuneration is, Chen Xin is not interested in staying at all, no matter how much money he has, he has to spend it.
Of course, it may just be that Chen Xin has no concept of 10 times the task reward, and he is also thinking that if Su Wan said that he can get 100 million RMB if he stays to block the enemy, Chen Xin feels that he will hesitate for a while.
After a few steps, Chen Xin saw the corpse lying on the ground on his stomach, and the mercenaries who stayed on the side did not surround the corpse, but scattered around waiting for Su Wan to arrive.
Su Wan just glanced at it, then turned her head and ordered, "All the limbs and auxiliary feet are cut off!" We only keep the head, torso, and abdomen. ”
In Chen Xin's opinion, the limbs behind the corpse did not weigh much, but they were relatively large and a little difficult to carry. But when he tried to lift a side foot that had been cut off, he found that the weight of the joint foot behind the corpse was really not light, at least much heavier than his own thigh.
"It's light! Only an empty shell! Zhang Baixin said as he turned over the corpse behind the corpse.
"There's a big wound here." Su Wan narrowed her eyes and pointed to the abdomen of the corpse and said.
"It looks like someone from the military department did it!" Zhang Baixin touched the wound and said, "Xie Guoping took the internal organs away?" ”
"Probably not, there is no green body fluid around the wound, it should have been dissected after it was completely dead, and there is nothing to take out." Su Wan took a photo with a tablet, "Call the two to carry them away, go back and study it again!" ”
Su Wan and Zhang Baixin didn't pay attention to Chen Xin, but at the moment, a Titan Company soldier who was still walking at the end of Group 3 paid attention to a shocked look on his face.
Chen Xin remembered the two thugs who died downstairs, almost the same death!
"What the hell!" Chen Xin muttered.
"What do you know?" Su Wan, who usually seemed to be completely unable to hear Chen Xin's words, heard Chen Xinji's soft words.
"Let's see if there's a hole in the top of your head!?" Chen Xin did not answer directly.
Zhang Baixin immediately jumped forward and touched Shishi's head.
Su Wan saw Zhang Baixin raise his head and look at her and nodded, knowing that what Chen Xin said was true, she turned her head and said sharply, "What else do you know!?" ”
Chen Xin swallowed his saliva, shrunk his neck and shook his head, "No, I don't know more...... I've only seen it before. ”
"Let's go, there's no sound of firefighting on Harris's side, and I guess Group 1 and Group 2 won't last long." Zhang Baixin interrupted the conversation between Chen Xin and Su Wan and said.
"Wait a minute." Su Wan already had gloves on her hands, "Chen Xin, come over and help me, take out the spine, and throw the rest here." ”
Chen Xin naturally had no objection, he couldn't leave alone anyway, so he took the toolbox handed by Su Wan from the backpack warrior.
"No more corpses? That's 1 million. Zhang Baixin opened a tube of nutrients and poured it into his mouth, and said vaguely.
"It's worthless, it's worth 500,000 at most. This spine may be worth three or four hundred thousand. Su Wan watched Chen Xin struggling to turn over the body behind the corpse, and said while groping the bones on the back of the corpse.
"Well, you've always been very accurate." Zhang Baixin had already pulled out the sniper rifle that had been on his back, put it on his arm, and closed one eye.
After two puffs of cigarettes, Chen Xin put his hands in the position of the spine behind the corpse, and pulled it out hard, "It's done!" ”
What answered him was a loud bang from Zhang Baixin's sniper rifle, "Bang! ”
The 1st group of fighters lying behind the improvised fortifications was startled, and heard a scream in the darkness ahead.
