Chapter 52
"Are we really going to live?"
The young man in front of him asked, his expression almost broken.
Romy couldn't answer.
Because whether it is true or false, it is so cruel in the face of the facts.
She thought of the infected soldiers she had healed in the past, repeating the same phrase every time she was temporary—"Can I live?" ”
Romy always told them that yes.
But every time it was covered in blood, but there was nothing that could be done.
I don't know when she and her medical team began to go numb.
Refuse any superfluous words, do not comfort, do not persuade, do not have any contact with these soldiers, and there will be no more pain.
That's how she's always dealt with it.
Until the appearance of the little girl who called herself Xia Liu, it was like bringing a spark and igniting everyone's hope.
But now, there is no one who can ignite the hope of now.
"Yes, yes."
Romi grabbed the young man's hand and spoke falsely with affirmation.
Just like it did back then.
She wants to...... This is not the last lie.
Gritting his teeth and forcing his composure, Romy took up his weapon.
At this moment, the gate shook, and the sound of sizzling came from outside.
It was the corrosive sound of metal.
Death is gradually approaching.
Everyone shuddered and prepared for the final moments.
Until......
There was a loud "bang-" thud.
It was as if something was striking the door, and the loud sound was clearly heard in everyone's ears.
Before everyone could react, another loud bang came from outside the door.
There was also the sound of tooth-aching fractures.
The screams of alien lifeforms erupted from outside the door, and the constant creeping sounds were chaotic, as if the monsters were frantically dodging.
The sound of artillery fire, the humming, finally covered everything up.
The sound of hasty crawling had faded away, and the cracking of bones had stopped.
A crunching sound sounded over the gate, as if something heavy was pulling open the heavy gate through the crack.
Romi saw a slit open, and a metal arm with its joints like bony fingers sticking out of it.
Forcefully, with a pull.
The otherwise heavy door was easily pushed open through a gap.
The tall figure stepped out of it, and the sudden change made Romi's hands tremble and press the button on the fire extinguisher.
But what little sanity she had left allowed her to restrain her impulses.
She looked blankly at the comer, and saw the alloy armor stained with green blood, and there were also muscle-like lines in the faintly exposed gaps.
Drops of green blood flowed from its body, but the viscous splendor of the armor still concealed it.
It's a completely unfamiliar style of technology, whether it's the gray alloy embedded in the simulated fibrous muscles or the smooth linear curves, it doesn't fit in with the surrounding technological style.
Covered in blood, it's like a soldier who came out of a movie.
Like a tinder, it lights up the light.
Romy looked at the visitor in a daze.
"The passage has been cleared, follow me for evacuation."
Lin Ling, who was standing in front of the door, glanced at everyone, looked at the number of only seven people, and turned around and left without saying a word.
Robot?
Reinforcements?
Mankind?
Listening to the dull voice, three questions flashed in everyone's minds, but no one dared to speak.
But they still instinctively followed in the footsteps of this armored man, because they all knew that staying here was a dead end.
Walking out of the gate, a tragic scene came into the eyes of everyone.
However, the most important thing to be concerned about is the hollows of different sizes that exist on the ground and on the door, and the corpses of monsters are trapped in them like pancakes.
It's a scene never seen before, so much so that people forget the human bones of their footsteps.
"You ......"
Romi followed behind Lin Ling, looking at the silver-gray exoskeleton armor and looking up.
"Blue Planet Alpha Formation 64 Soldier 10."
Lin Ling casually fabricated a fictitious identity and pushed the door open a little gap again.
But this strange and familiar sentence still Romi was confused.
The old man behind her couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Lin Ling a few more times, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
The blue planet Romi knows that it is just a commercial planet with a wonderful natural landscape.
It is known that the number of stationed queues is only 63, why did a 64 appear?
Could it be the hidden troops?
Romy's mind began to come alive, and she thought of the news that had been vaguely revealed within the Federation about the additional deployment of troops.
So this time the new extra troops are placed on the Blue Planet?
Although extremely skeptical, Romi did not ask, and still followed vigilantly and quietly.
But it didn't take long for the person in front of her to suddenly stop, turn around and push her away.
A spike pierces down from above and pierces inside.
If the man hadn't pushed her away, maybe it had been her skull.
"Be careful!"
Romi looked up in surprise, and the red spikes stabbed straight down from above at the armored man.
She exclaimed, but saw the latter directly turn around and reach out and pull the thing stuck to the ceiling.
Along with the drop were several pieces of metal wall panels.
A monster with the shape of an octopus but a sea urchin spike fell directly at the feet of a certain "person".
Before the monster could react, Lin Ling smashed it down.
The dull sound made everyone aware of the source of the pit outside the lab.
The monster was smashed into the ground, and its eight legs twitched and stopped moving.
Lin Ling shook off the juice in her hands and turned her head to look behind her, only to find that the eyes of this group of people were all at her feet.
The corners of the mouths of several young men were still twitching.
An old man wanted to rush forward again to observe the structure of Linling's exoskeleton armor, but was immediately pulled by Romi.
"Keep keeping up."
Lin Ling glanced at it a few times, and then led everyone forward again.
It's not that these researchers have never seen the scene of the metal floor being smashed and dented, but it is all with the assistance of large machines, and this is the first time they have seen this kind of scene of smashing the floor and alien life forms with pure fists.
Romi felt that the wearer of the armor was either a transhuman, or a pure war robot himself.
Otherwise, it is completely impossible to explain this terrifying strange power.
While everyone was thinking, Lin Ling had stopped.
She looked at the crowd.
"Walking down this road, there is a safe area that has been cleared, and the ventilation ducts have been isolated."
"What about you?"
Romy asked subconsciously, only to realize that he was inappropriate after he opened his mouth.
“…… Some areas are still surviving. ”
In order to avoid being noticed, Lin Ling still tried her best to avoid too much communication, so as not to cause exposure.
In fact, according to the map, these scientists are the last to survive.
She's going to get into the planetary hub before the battle team makes a detour here.
Because only in this way can the traces left by the plotters of this accident be found.
Causing so many casualties that the only opportunity to reach the top has been shattered.
Lin Ling felt that if she didn't do something, she was really sorry for the other party's hard work.
