Volume 1 Mutation Chapter 27 The Subway Crisis
All the soldiers nervously picked up their guns and aimed them at the dark subway passage, and the sound of the crawling was getting louder and louder, as if the next moment the hidden thing in the darkness would rush to their faces.
In the face of this fear of the unknown, even the most courageous person will feel afraid, this is a normal physiological reaction of people, Wu Feng is no exception, at this time his nervous brain is blank. In the narrow passage, there is light on one side, but it is surrounded by dense mutant rats, and the only end of turning back is to be torn apart by them. On the other side is the most frightening darkness of the last days, so to speak, the most dangerous predators tend to be nocturnal, they yearn for the darkness, they live in the darkness, and they enjoy the darkness.
No one knew what kind of monsters would pop out of the dark passage in the next moment, and they could only concentrate on holding their guns and vigilantly guarding against them. Finally, a fighter couldn't help it and took out a GB grenade and wanted to throw it, but his teammates next to him stopped him: "Do you want to kill us?" If you throw a thunder here, we'll die! β
The damage range of ordinary grenades is 8 meters in radius, but the explosion range of GB grenades has a radius of 5-6 meters, and the fragmentation killing range has a radius of 26 meters.
The soldier also realized his stupidity and picked up the gun again, people will lose the ability to think in times of crisis, which is also the advantage of having teammates around, the strength of the team is always stronger than the individual.
The warrior's movements inspired Wu Feng, and he guessed that the things in the passage might have caused them to be photophobic due to unknown changes, otherwise they would not have shrunk in this underground passage. He took out an incendiary bomb and threw it into the darkness with all his might, the incendiary bomb smashed into the ground and shattered, and the fuel inside was instantly ignited, illuminating most of the passage.
The figure in the darkness also revealed its face with the firelight, and the one who made the sound of crawling was actually countless giant spiders half a human high! They were scattered around the passage, even crawling on the ceiling, and in the face of the fire, these spiders retreated into the darkness in fear and disappeared from everyone's sight, but the crawling sound of the rope still did not disappear.
"Captain! They seem to be afraid of fire, should we throw a few more incendiary bombs. β
"How many incendiary bombs do you have left, count, I still have two." Wu Feng checked his equipment and spoke.
"I've got three more here!"
"I have one more here, and the rest is in that warehouse."
"I don't!"
"I'll have both."
After the report of more than a dozen fighters, the stock of incendiary bombs was also counted, and there were fifteen incendiary bombs in total. Wu Feng's face was solemn, an incendiary bomb can only burn for a short time in the absence of combustible objects, and its role is mainly to use the high temperature generated by the explosion to kill and injure the enemy, which means that even if all the incendiary bombs are used, they can only last for twenty minutes.
"Undress!" Wu Feng thought for a moment and ordered.
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they understood what the captain meant, and they took off their coats and pants one after another, and the clothes of more than a dozen people were piled on the ground. Wu Feng picked up the two pieces of clothes, formed a ball, and threw them into the fire in the distance, and the fire gradually ignited the two heat-resistant combat uniforms and burned.
In this way, the scene was frozen for a while, and the mutant spiders in the passage did not know whether they were afraid of light or fire, and they never dared to come out, and the warriors could not advance or retreat.
As one piece after another of clothes burned out, the temperature in the passage slowly rose, and under the summer heat, everyone was dry from the heat, and their foreheads were sweaty, so they could only keep pouring water to quench their thirst and cool down.
As more and more people drank their own water, there was only one piece of clothing left to burn.
"Captain, if this continues, I'm afraid that before the rescue comes, we will die of thirst, or be sucked dry by these spiders." Liu Di licked his dry lips and said.
"Yes, if it drags on like this, we won't be able to last long, so we might as well fight with them."
Wu Feng was also so thirsty that his throat smoked, and he asked in a dumb voice: "How long has Zhang Chuang been away?" β
"It's been almost two hours, and at the speed of a motorcycle, I'm already in the safe zone."
"Then let's insist on it again, and we can't give up until the last moment, I believe that the base has sent a team to rescue us."
----
Finally, the last piece of clothing was also burned, and at this time, the squad of more than a dozen fighters was almost all left with close-fitting clothing, and there was nothing else to burn.
The light of the fire gradually weakened, and the darkness gradually slowly swallowed up the territory that originally belonged to it, and the sound of Si Xi Suo Suo in the shadow was slowly approaching, but after such a long time, the already dense sound more than doubled again, and it was estimated that the number of spiders hiding in the darkness was also more.
Seeing that the fire was about to be extinguished, Wu Feng threw an incendiary bomb again, only to hear a "bang", the passage was lit up by the fire again, and the high-temperature airflow generated by the instant explosion also swept everyone again. This time, the high temperature airflow made everyone's hair directly curl up slightly, and everyone lay on the ground, trying to use the ground to cool their bodies.
Zhao Lei tilted his head and poured out the last drop of water in the cup, the high temperature and a lot of sweating made his body extremely dehydrated, and he said weakly: "Captain, I can't stand it, let's fight with them, or go out and fight with those mice." I... I'd just rather... I die in battle, and I don't want to die of thirst. β
The situation of the others at this time was not much better, and they all turned their heads to look at Wu Feng. Wu Feng looked at his comrades-in-arms and said in a dry and aching voice: "Hold on for a while, and the support will arrive soon.... Not! Before he could finish speaking, a sticky spider silk shot into his face, enveloping his entire skull, and then quickly pulled him into the darkness.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, Zhao Lei was the first to come back to his senses, picked up the gun in his hand and began to shoot, and the others also opened fire, trying to kill the monster in the dark.
Swish! ββ
Another cobwebweb's ricochet came and stuck to the shoulder of one of the warriors, pulling him into the darkness once more, and for a moment his cries could not be heard.
Great fear gripped the remaining warriors, and everyone didn't know what to do at this time. In a panic, one of the warriors ran up the passage to the ground, and within a few steps of running, a swarm of rats poured out of the corner and threw him to the ground, letting out a scream of pain.
The faint light of the fire disappeared suddenly, and the entire passage instantly went black, leaving only the sunlight in the area of one meter in front of them.
----
The willows flew quickly in the air, and the rapid speed caused a shrill whistling sound around him, like a fighter jet flying at supersonic speed, piercing the sky and flashing.
A city appeared in his field of vision, a human territory that had only been abandoned for a few months, and it still had a bit of a modern urban atmosphere. It's just that there is no anger of the people coming and going, and there is no life, even if there are many high-rise buildings, it is just a lifeless ruin.
After flying twice around the city, the watch did not indicate the location of the people who went out to collect supplies, and the willow bush lowered its altitude and circled low again.
"Still not! Is it so weird? Even if the person dies, the watch can detect it, right? Liu Cong frowned, a little puzzled.
Looking at the city at your feet, in addition to the buildings overgrown with crawling plants, there are abandoned vehicles all over the streets of the city, a dilapidated scene of the apocalyptic era.
Liu Cong searched around again, and this time, he finally found fresh blood stains on the ground.
He fell to the ground, dipped his hand in blood, and felt itβit was slightly sticky, apparently for a while. This is extremely bad news, the whereabouts of the team collecting supplies are unknown at this time, such a pool of blood means that they are already unlucky at this time, but there is no corpse, Liu Cong did not give up the search.
Even if it is eaten into the stomach, there will always be something left, not to mention that the watch they wear uniformly, there are also built-in positioning chips, these chips can release a week's signal with self-supplied power in the event of a power failure, the only explanation is that they may be forced to hide in a location where the signal is not working. Of course, it is not ruled out that it was eaten, and the signal of the monster's hiding position is not connected.
