Chapter 43: The Central Zone
"Hello, thank you for your help, didn't know you were?" Tie Changkong calmed down, and soon woke up from the killing of the blood beast. Standing in front of him was a young man, although there were many 'Taiyi' warriors in the army, but a young man like the one in front of him, who could summon even more terrifying monsters, still made him secretly frightened.
"My name is Lin Ci, and I am the second generation of 'Taiyi' (xenogeneous) soldiers sent by the valley base." With a simple introduction, Lin Ci stood straight on the ground and nodded at Tie Changkong in front of him.
"The second generation of 'Taiyi' soldiers?" Tie Changkong's resolute cheeks couldn't help twitching, and he glanced at the hideous blood beast, feeling jealous in his heart. Tie Changkong quickly returned to normal, he nodded, and said with a grateful face: "No matter what, I have to thank you for being able to help, if it weren't for you, I want to ......"
"You have also seen the situation, the 'Taiyi' fighters in our team have suffered heavy losses, and the support troops are still behind, I hope you can join us, so that the safety factor will be greatly improved...... Of course, I won't let you do anything particularly dangerous......" Perhaps thinking of what happened to the shielder, Tie Changkong hurriedly changed his tone.
Seeing that Lin Ci was silent, Tie Changkong didn't know what he was thinking, just when he wanted to explain further......
"Absolutely." Lin Ci's voice was not loud, but there was a hint of firmness in it.
"Ah...... What did you say? Are you sure? It's really great! ”
Originally, Tie Changkong didn't have much hope, after all, there were too many people on his side, more than a dozen soldiers died tragically, and three 'Taiyi' soldiers died, this kind of bloody scene, anyone who saw it would inevitably retreat, and what he didn't expect was that Lin Ci agreed so simply.
Feeling the joy of Tie Changkong, Lin Ci slowly spoke: "I agree to join you, but I have some conditions, I need some monster corpses, and in future battles, I hope to be able to get some high-level xenomorph corpses." ”
Saying this, Lin Ci was silent for a moment, he needed to give Tie Changkong some time to think.
"That's it?"
Tie Changkong's eyes widened, and he had a surprised expression.
"Okay, I promise you!" Tie Changkong's expression was sincere.
In the empty streets, a team of about 100 people remained in place, and after the battle, everyone needed some repair.
Cremation is the most common way of burial, in this bloody battle, a total of 37 people died, they were stacked together, poured some gasoline on their bodies, and the moment Tie Changkong threw out the matches, the raging fire was suddenly wrapped in their bodies.
In the last days, human life is like grass, and not only these soldiers, in fact, no one knows when death will befall them.
Xenomorph invasion, as the monsters spread, the future of humanity will become more and more dangerous, these xenomorphs can appear anywhere, barren wilderness, noisy bazaars, and even silent houses.
Terrifying monsters continue to appear in the human alliance, and nightmares are on the verge of erupting.
Back to camp.
Tie Changkong's current strength does not support him to control this city, not to mention that three professionals died in battle, which directly destroyed the elite in his hands.
Qingqian City is currently divided into three major urban districts, Xiacheng District, Shangcheng District, and Central District.
Tie Changkong's defense is the lower city, and what he has to do now is to search for monsters and survivors around him as much as possible, and then wait until his strength is at its peak, and then really occupy this city.
Iron Sky is a visionary and far-sighted, and in today's environment, a conservative defense is a better way to preserve strength than a fearless battle.
And this is also the reason why Lin Ci is willing to cooperate with him, and the journey has been very smooth.
Although the surrounding area was full of monsters, and although everyone had no hope for the living, in the next few hours, the team actually found seven people, who had been struggling for more than two months in the dark, and finally waited for the rescue of the troops today.
And among the crying crowd, there is more sadness and pain, and the feeling of powerlessness and despair has finally been released today.
Somewhat unexpectedly, in these populations, two human xenomorphs were even found.
A seventeen-year-old boy and a middle-aged man in his forties.
The former does not have a killing blade, but it has an extremely rare gravity, which can temporarily turn into a gravitational magnetic field within ten meters around the body, and once a monster or human enters it, the body will immediately be under heavy pressure and it will be difficult to move.
The middle-aged man was a shielder, but he was not yet proficient in mastering his abilities.
Lin Ci glanced at the two of them, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
In the evening, five hours had passed since the troops had followed, and the team had gone farther and farther without a moment's delay on the way.
Along the way, they searched three large supermarkets, and almost did not encounter mutants, and each of them was covered with daily necessities and food left over from the disaster.
Along the way, Lin Ci was very quiet.
There are no monsters worthy of his attack, and there will occasionally be some special xenomorphs, deformed beasts and monsters produced by human mutations on the road, but these monsters will become corpses when the warriors with guns in their hands shoot at each other.
Unlike other monsters, the Demon Bug has an amazing ability to reproduce, and with enough food, it can produce a large number of insects in just a few days.
"Bang!"
Patches of strange insects fell.
Nowadays, guns still have a certain lethality, especially for new ordinary monsters, if you aim at it, a single shot can end its life.
However...... As monsters and xenos evolve, guns will become less and less useful.
Just when Lin Ci was in a lot of mood, suddenly a helicopter flew overhead, and soon a soldier came down from it, and one of them was a fat man.
"You're Lin Ci, right?" The soldier walked directly in front of Lin Ci and seemed to be familiar with him.
Lin Ci was puzzled, "Are you?" ”
"I'm Wu Fei, from today, you will be transferred to the central area to be responsible for guarding, there will be other 'Taiyi' soldiers here, defense, and your companions will also join you, among the four newly formed teams of 'Taiyi' soldiers, you have been appointed as the captain of the falcon, time is pressing, let's go immediately."
Lin Ci hesitated for a moment, then looked at the fat man, and then no longer hesitated and got on the plane.
Tie Changkong and the others below were puzzled, but when they saw Lin Ci get on the plane and leave, their faces changed uncertainly.
At the top of the commercial building, a man stood on the top floor, chewing on a cigarette, his hair was messy, and his chin was covered with blue stubble. Dressed in a trench coat and gloves, he held a terrifyingly large sword with spikes on both sides, like the fangs of some kind of beast.
Acting on the deserted streets, the sound of distant guns roaring in his ears kept coming, and the man spitting. At this time, a voice sounded in the headset: "Hey, beard, how are you doing over there?" ”
"Just cleaned up some garbage, what about you, don't let anyone slaughter it, you gecko." The man nicknamed the beard joked.
"This joke is not funny at all, but it is just some ordinary xenomorph, and Lao Tzu is not bad enough to be planted in the hands of these things." The man, nicknamed Gecko, paused.
At this moment, a woman suddenly bumped out and pounced on him with her teeth and claws. He didn't lift his head, the vicious sword slashed out, and then a rain of blood fell on his head.
"I've heard that a kid in the base killed a hungry wolf."
"I know."
Beard was silent and said, "Gecko, don't you want to kill a few high-level xenos? ”
"You'd better not mess around."
"I don't care about the credit, I just ......" Beard didn't continue, taking off his headset and exhaling from his mouth, "I just want to kill as many monsters as I can." ”
He walked in the direction of the central area, which was not originally his responsibility.
"Quick."
In the underground tunnels of Qingqian City, several teams are moving along different routes.
When he came to the vicinity of the TV building, Lin Ci raised his hand and clenched his fist, and the team stopped. The TV building was located in front of them, and they had to be careful here. Lin Ci made a gesture, and everyone squatted down and opened a finger box. Inside the box were six scout pocket flying machines, he took them out, activated them one by one, and threw them out, and these small machines were silently suspended in mid-air, and then flew out into the depths of the passage.
Team member Liu Jin opened the tablet, and the screen was divided into six windows, each corresponding to an aircraft. The passage was clearly visible from the window, and there were no enemies in the passage, but the passage to the parking lot of the TV building was blocked by a wall. Liu Jin glanced at Lin Ci, who glanced at the two team members, and the two shooters from the original 5th team ran out quickly. Lin Ci brought the others to follow, and came to the wall, where the two had already planted explosives.
Moments later, the explosives detonated, blowing a hole in the wall. Lin Ci got into the gap first and came behind the wall. It was quiet behind the wall, and he gestured, and the team came over one after another.
Above Lin Ci's head is a shaft that leads to the parking lot of the TV building. The operation has been smooth so far, but the task has just begun, Lin Ci did not dare to be careless, and climbed up the shaft first.
In this team, there is no doubt that Lin Ci's comprehensive combat power is the strongest, and he is naturally suitable to act as a striker. And as the captain, he is even more responsible. He quickly climbed up the shaft and gently jacked the manhole cover.
Looking out through the tactical mirror, they were now in a corner of the parking lot, which was quiet, at least no pretenders were found around. Lin Ci pushed the entire manhole cover aside, and after climbing out, he was on guard while letting the team members in the well come out one after another.
The second to climb onto the manhole cover was the fat man, who was holding a shield from the development department and crouching behind a car with a pistol in one hand. The team members came out one after another, and they all spread their vigilance one after another. When everyone came out, Liu Jin threw the aircraft out, and the aircraft began to scan the surrounding environment, and quickly constructed a three-dimensional model of the TV building on Liu Jin's computer.
When Liu Jin was working, Lin Ci walked up to Chen Qisa and whispered, "What do you think? ”
"It's so quiet, it's like a nest." Chen Qisa said.
Lin Ci nodded and said, "That's right, this is too unusual. Even if the army had attracted attention, I don't think the guys would have all of them. It's like a trap waiting for us to jump into. ”
At this time, the model of the parking lot and the first floor of the building had been established, and the aircraft was heading to the second floor, Liu Jin reported in a low voice: "There are no traces of mutants found in the parking lot or the first floor. ”
That means that there are no enemies nearby, Lin Ci and Chen Qisa exchanged glances, and then walked over to Liu Jin and said, "Can you find the hostages?" ”
"I'll try." He operated on the interface of one of the aircraft, and said, "I adjusted the scanning mode of the No. 3 aircraft, if I find the characteristics of human life, ......"
Before the words were finished, the aircraft had already made a discovery. In a corner of the fourth floor, several human life features appeared. Lin Ci said: "Find the shortest route to get there. ”
Liu Jin hummed, operated on the screen, and after a while, the computer automatically simulated a route. Lin Ci called Chen Qisa and others: "Let's follow this route." ”
He said to Bai Yu again: "You can move freely, but when I order you to retreat, you must execute it immediately." ”
Bai Yu hummed, slapped the knife box behind his back, and left silently.
Xiao Wei also stood up at this time: "Then I will also act." ”
Liu Jin said: "I will transfer the diorama to your computer, you pay more attention." ”
Xiao Wei nodded.
Lin Ci said "keep in touch" and let her go. Then they also started to act, Lin Ci and Fat Man acted as the forwards, Chen Qisa stayed in the team to play the role of command, and Li Yuanqian was responsible for the security of the rear at the back of the team.
Just as the Falcon Squad began to infiltrate the TV building, the Black Falcon, led by Lin Ying, had already entered the Kaiser Building. Each floor of the Kaiser Building has a different company. There are even several small companies on the same floor, and now the Black Falcon is on the third floor, and they have found the location of the hostage, which is located in a logistics company called "Swift Wind" on the third floor.
Lin Ying gestured, and the team carefully entered the company, where a corpse lay in the lobby of the company. It was a soldier, with bites on his hands, feet, and chest, and his entire body was in tatters.
When they opened the door to a conference room, they saw three soldiers tied up. They were all tied to chairs, and corpses and mutilated limbs were scattered around the corners, tables, and windows of the conference room.
Lin Ying took a breath, then walked over to the others. These people all stuffed strips of cloth and couldn't scream, but just stared at Lin Ying with wide eyes. Lin Ying whispered: "Don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you." Please do not make any noise and cooperate with our work. ”
The three of them nodded hurriedly.
Suddenly, one of the team members said, "Wait, captain. ”
"What's wrong?" Lin Ying turned around.
The team member was holding a scanner, and among the three silhouettes of the human body that appeared in the scanner, red dots of light flashed at the location of their hearts. The team member said in a deep voice, "They were parasitized, and the reaction of the insects was found in their hearts!" ”
