Chapter XVIII

Chen Xin sat on the ground for a while, and when he saw the people from the "company" approaching, he stood up, but before he could stand firmly, he heard a loud explosion coming from behind him.

In an instant, he felt a wave of air pumping over his lower back, and the whole ground seemed to shake, and he almost didn't stand firm.

The next moment, Chen Xin's face turned slightly pale, not because he was frightened by the power of the explosion, although he really didn't think that the real bomb explosion would have such a huge power, but his face turned pale because he saw several soldiers from the "company" holding the muzzle of the black hole at him at the moment.

The explosion was still some distance away from him, but the people in the "company" did not know whether it was friend or foe.

Chen Xin was about to activate the "Agility Enhancement" and retreat when a pair of big hands slapped him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Chen, are you okay?" A deep voice came from Chen Xin's ears, it was Xie Guoping.

"I'm fine." Seeing Xie Guoping appear beside him, Chen Xin's whole person seemed to relax.

Xie Guoping looked at the three evolved zombies that fell to the side, nodded, and gently patted Chen Xin on the shoulder, and said to Chen Xin and Haiyan with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, "Good job!" ”

After speaking, Xie Guoping broke away from Haiyan, and with the other hand, he pulled Chen Xin to the back and walked to the front by himself.

In their opinion, except for the members of the "company", everyone else may be potential enemies, and if they can seize the initiative, they must seize it, unless the director of the "company" orders otherwise.

But when Xie Guoping walked to the front of the team, the soldier at the front found that he subconsciously removed the gun in his hand, and he didn't even know why, as if he had an intuition in his heart to tell him that if he pointed the gun at Xie Guoping again, something terrible would happen.

Xie Guoping had no intention of stopping, and took a few more steps towards the team of the "company".

The soldiers of the two "companies" who faced Xie Guoping were painted with black things on their faces, and they couldn't tell whether it was because of the smoke of ammunition or camouflage, but the short steps Xie Guoping took to them made their hands that were holding their rifles a little slippery, and their foreheads were also sweaty, and even the camouflage on their faces tended to be dissolved.

But the two didn't get out of the way, behind them was Dr. Su, although the sense of oppression given to them by the person in front of them was even stronger than what Instructor Zhang Baixin had given them, but as the most elite special fighters of the "company", it would be a shame for them to avoid it without firing a shot.

Just when the two of them were about to hold on and wanted to pull the trigger, a crisp female voice came from behind the two, "Get out of the way, the powerhouse of the fifth order is not something you can compete with." ”

On the other hand, the soldiers from the military headquarters were a little surprised when they heard this crisp female voice, and they always felt that such a sound should appear in the sunlight or in the accompaniment of the banquet hall, such a crisp sound is so contrasting with the environment where there are now man-eating zombies and caterpillars all over the ground.

Of course, apart from being a little surprised by the voice, the people in the military department did not have any special feelings about the meaning of the words "Fifth Order" contained in it, but the hearts of the soldiers of the "company" and Chen Xin were like turning over the river and the sea.

Fifth Order! The six people in the military department may not know what the concept of a fifth-order awakened person is, but the relevant information has long been open to them within the "company". When Instructor Zhang Baixin was training them, he was a third-order awakener, so they had a practical experience of how fierce the third-order awakened person was, and there was not a single simulated battle that was not won by Instructor Zhang Baixin. Before leaving, Instructor Zhang heard that he had evolved to the fourth order, and in the battles along the way, the terrifying ability of "pointing and fighting, hitting and exploding" impressed the fighters even more.

"Fifth Order ......," one of the warriors involuntarily swallowed and muttered.

And the two soldiers who faced Xie Guoping were even more relieved, facing the awakened people who were higher than the instructors, such a performance was not a shame, anyway, Dr. Su also spoke, and the two immediately turned sideways and moved out of the way.

Chen Xin, who was pulled aside by Xie Guoping, saw the owner of the female voice at this time, and for a moment, he thought that he was back in the university laboratory.

With long straight black hair, a pair of big black-framed glasses, a wrinkled white coat on her body, and a figure larger than her figure, her expression is a schoolgirl who knows at a glance that she doesn't care about anything except experiments. The only difference is that this girl actually wears lipstick! The skin on her face is even more explosive, not at all like a girl who has been baptized by chemical agents in the laboratory all year round, but Chen Xin himself is also a scholar who only has biochemical experiments in his eyes, so this girl's appearance did not cause Chen Xin to sigh much.

But the other people present felt a little shocked, especially when Xie Guoping's eyes were also focused on the girl, everyone remembered the embarrassed appearance of the two tall and strong soldiers being stared at by Xie Guoping just now, but this girl seemed to feel nothing.

Xie Guoping took another step forward, but Zhang Baixin, who was standing next to the girl, suddenly stood up, also took a step, and stood right between the girl and Xie Guoping and said, "Hello, I am Zhang Baixin, the 7th level supervisor of Titan Company. ”

"Xie Guoping, retired soldier of the Republic!" Xie Guoping's deep voice seemed to fall to the ground, but his eyes did not look at Zhang Baixin's face, but moved to his right hand placed under his clothes.

Zhang Baixin's expression was grim, he had heard of Xie Guoping's name, in the old days, he was a very famous mercenary. As an international mercenary, it is also one of their compulsory courses to study all the powerful masters and teams of the Republic. In the early years, Xie Guoping and his assault team were definitely the highlight of all mercenary research, and the hand holding the pistol under the clothes had been unannounced at this moment.

"It turned out to be Head Xie, Jiu Yang! Everybody put your guns down! Zhang Baixin's second half of the sentence was obviously said to the comrades-in-arms of the "company", he knew that the person in front of him was powerful, he had just advanced to the fourth order, but the experience accumulated in his career as a mercenary for more than ten years could barely feel the gap between himself and the other party, he estimated that all the remaining soldiers were exhausted, plus himself, he might not be able to leave the other party 100%.

When the soldiers of the Titan Company heard Zhang Baixin's words, a look of hesitation appeared on their faces, and everyone looked at Dr. Su who was standing in the middle, but her expression was still like an iceberg, and there was no change.

"Didn't you hear?! Put the gun down! Zhang Baixin smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that his attitude towards Dr. Su was too humble, which made these comrades-in-arms look down on him. It's just that although Dr. Su is his direct administrative boss, according to the regulations, the temporary command in wartime is in his own hands, he was a little angry, squinted his eyes slightly, raised his voice again and shouted to the surroundings, and his tone became cold.

Several of the fighters put their guns away, the muzzle of which was pointed towards the ground, but still not a single soldier's finger left the trigger.

"If I remember correctly, the military department and the Titan Company have negotiated and confirmed last time that the port area belongs to your sphere of influence, but outside the port area, no combat groups are allowed." was no longer pointed at the gun, and Xie Guoping's expression softened a little.

"We are the security team of the research institute, under Dr. Su Wan." Zhang Baixin pointed to the girl behind him and said, to Xie Guoping's surprise, this Zhang Baixin seemed to have a sense of identity for himself, and when he talked about the identity of the security guard of his research institute, there was a satisfied look between his eyebrows.

"The security team is not a combat team." Zhang Baixin added.

Xie Guoping was a little speechless, he had seen the combat effectiveness of the group in front of him with his own eyes, whether it was the degree of training or the fierceness, it was definitely stronger than many elite front-line combat groups.

But this kind of agreement to deduct words, he has always disregarded it, and the experience of decades of fighting clearly tells him that only hard fists are the true truth, even in the old era when there was a lot of harmony on the surface, this is not easy to do.

"What the hell are you here for? Could it be that the research laboratory of your research institute is underground in this community?! Xie Guoping sneered and asked rhetorically, he had already decided that he really couldn't talk about it first.

"Yes, the lab number is A361. The purpose of the action is to collect data and accompanying samples, and the access to the laboratory is to be a level 10 supervisor or ...... Personally. The crisp female voice sounded again, as if she couldn't hear Xie Guoping's sarcastic tone, and answered like a classroom question and answer, without a trace of emotion.

"......" Faced with such an answer, Xie Guoping didn't know how to answer, opened his mouth and didn't say anything, he now misses the few "military ruffians" in the military department who can deduct a basin for no reason, it seems that he has no such talent.

Zhang Baixin looked at the atmosphere a little cold, for fear that Xie Guoping would feel that he would not be able to save face and move his hands, so he interjected and said, "Head Xie, according to the map, our destination is in front, I heard an explosion in front just now, is there any situation?" ”

"Yes, but you don't have to. The road is gone, and the passage has just been blown up by me. However, even if it doesn't collapse, you don't have to think about it, there is an old water treatment plant in front of it, and there is a particularly large monster in it, I estimate that the strength is about the same as mine, of course, if you don't count the hundreds of evolved zombies around it. Xie Guoping gave a thumbs up, nodded behind and said.

When Zhang Baixin heard this, he obviously ran out of ideas, and turned his head to look at Dr. Su.

Dr. Su obviously heard what Xie Guoping said, and turned his head sideways with a thoughtful look, "Can you describe what that monster looks like?" And the case of those hundreds of evolved zombies. ”

"Of course, I'll pay for the intelligence." With that, Dr. Su beckoned to a warrior behind him.

The warrior nodded, took out a black metal box from the marching backpack behind him, and respectfully turned the box around it, holding it up to Dr. Su Wan.

Xie Guoping frowned and watched Su Wan scan the fingerprint lock on the metal box, and then pressed a series of passwords on the side of the box before opening the box.

There was a lot of white smoke coming out of the box, and Chen Xin could see that this was the temperature of liquid nitrogen sublimation, and the contents of the box were obviously precious items that had to be kept at low temperatures.

Su Wan put her hand in, took out a test-tube-like thing, handed it to Zhang Baixin, and then closed the box again before saying lightly, "This is a first-order evolution elixir, I see that your subordinates have the potential to become awakened people, and they should be able to use it." If the message is valuable, I will compensate again. ”

"They don't need to! This agent will only pull out the seedlings and help them grow. Xie Guoping's brows did not relax, and he opened his mouth to reject Su Wan.

Suddenly, Xie Guoping seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at Chen Xin, smiled and turned his head to Su Wan and said, "I see that young man over there, he is also engaged in biological research, he has been following us along the way, you can do intelligence transactions with him." ”

Haiyan, who was standing on the side, heard Xie Guoping's reply, and then looked at the blue light evolution potion in Zhang Baixin's hand, an anxious look appeared on his face, and he pulled Xie Guoping's arm and said, "Regiment leader, this potion is a shortage of materials designated by the military department, do you really want to give it to that kid?" ”

Xie Guoping patted Haiyan's hand and said slowly, "Haiyan, if you really need this, I will naturally not give it to anyone. But I believe you can awaken on your own, and I feel that you are on the verge of awakening. Since you don't need it, and people are taking such a big risk to save you, shouldn't you give it to him? ”

Xie Guoping never mentioned that he had already agreed with Chen Xin to teach him how to fight in exchange for helping to save people.

It's just that Haiyan didn't know about this agreement, and as soon as she heard what Xie Guoping said, the strength on Xie Guoping's arm suddenly decreased, and she didn't argue anything.

Xie Guoping seemed to be very satisfied with Haiyan's reaction, smiled imperceptibly, and turned his head to look at Chen Xin, who was standing next to Zhang Baixin and Dr. Su, dancing and gesturing something.

“..... There are 3 pairs of accessory legs, whose function is to eat or hunt, and there is a clear social group system. The appearance is similar to a giant arthropod insect, with a large abdomen and developed reproductive organs, which is suspected of producing parasitic control larvae,...... "Chen Xin also saw the evolution potion on Zhang Baixin's hand, it is a good thing, an excellent product of a large laboratory, and I heard what Zhang Baixin meant, if the intelligence is powerful, there are other rewards, at this moment, Chen Xin can't wait to tell the "Xueba Xuemei" in front of him about what he just saw.
