Chapter 12: The Call
In the underground passage of Aoki City, Chen Qi carried Xiao Eleven on his back, pulled the iron plate car, and walked along the passage with Sun Xiaowan.
The huge passage was pitch black, and it was impossible to know where it led.
There are no landmarks underground, so it's easy to get lost, and at this point, an instrument like the compass is very important because it can give you the most basic direction.
The power detector in the hands of Chen Qi and Chen Shiyi has this function, and it is also a high-tech product.
In fact, it's not just the direction.,There's also a map of the entire federation in it.,It's okay to zoom in or out.,It's just a small function.,The average smart watch can do it.。
Their direction at the moment is to the north, which is the direction of the center of the city. Ronghui Hospital, just around there, two blocks away from here, is in the core of the Axe Gang's Aokido forces.
Aoki Castle is a small city, but it's quite big compared to cars and spaceships, and if you have to walk on your feet.
The people of the Axe Gang really put a lot of effort into hollowing out almost the entire city's underground, forming many criss-crossing passages, and if you are not careful, you will go wrong.
It's just that it's for strangers who are not very familiar with the terrain, and for those who often walk in the passages, it is a common thing, even with their eyes closed.
Soon, they came to a criss-crossing fork in the road.
"Just now, I ran out here, and I was over there, and I met Hellhound." Sun Xiaowan pointed to a fork in the road and said.
"We should be in that passage to the southwest." Chen Qi looked at his watch, "It seems that this area is the territory of hellhounds, and they have also learned to burrow in the ground." ”
"There are a lot of mutant rats, demon scorpions and batakes underground, as well as us humans, and these are the things that hellhounds like to eat. Therefore, it is also normal for them to look for food underground. Hopefully our luck won't be so bad to run into them again. ”
may really be thanks to Sun Xiaowan, the three of them walked all the way, walked for a long time, and did not hear any sound, let alone encounter any monsters, and the whole way was actually smooth.
The underground passage is black, the air can still be humid, and some places are connected to the sewers, so the taste is not very good, and it will make people feel bored and aggrieved after walking for a long time.
After all, humans are not underground creatures, and most of the time, they still have to live in holy sunlight.
They are gradually approaching their destination, the center of Aoki City, and the core area of the Axe Gang's Aoki Hall, where there is their quarantine zone, which should be very tightly sealed and defended.
The Axe Gang is the largest gang in the vicinity, with a population of about 1,000 people, but most of them are slaves, and only about 300 of them are the core combat force.
To feed such a large population, it was obviously not enough to rely on the supplies collected in the city, so they plundered everywhere, and then sent a large number of looted slaves and supplies to the headquarters of the Axe Gang in exchange for food and weapons.
When necessary, those slaves were also their food, which they called "mutton".
Throughout the ages, in troubled times, eating people is a common thing, those people are not called people, but called "two-legged sheep" or "meat dishes", and their meat, of course, is "mutton." ”
Now history is repeating itself, and it is more cruel and degraded than any other era in history, and mankind itself is about to become extinct.
"I feel something is wrong." Sun Xiaowan suddenly said, "Seventh brother, do you think it's a little strange, we've been walking for so long, and we haven't encountered any mutant mice, it stands to reason that such a big underground passage, how can you also meet one or two?" ”
"Something is wrong, Hellhounds, Bat Monsters, Demon Scorpions, and Mutant Rats are all gone. Where have they gone? Chen Qi didn't expect them to go so smoothly, and he didn't encounter any monsters along the way.
"Brother Seven, I feel something in the air." Xiao Eleven on Chen Qi's back suddenly said.
"Something?" Chen Qiyi was stunned, "What is it?" ”
"I don't know, something that feels annoying, like a sound, calling those monsters to pass. No, it's not far ahead. Little Eleven pointed in the direction ahead.
"Could it be that the Axe Gang invented some instrument? Able to summon these monsters? Sun Xiaowan guessed, "Just like humans send certain signals and can summon some animals?" ”
"So what are they summoning so many monsters for? Don't you die fast enough? Chen Qi wondered.
"It's not human, it's a monster, I can feel the way he looks." Little Eleven said, "Golden, like a bat monster, locked in a cage, it seems to be angry, that kind of thing just came out of his head, I hate it." ”
"Brain waves!" Chen Qi and Sun Xiaowan glanced at each other, and they both thought of this word.
They also saw the surprise in each other's eyes, something they had never heard before.
"Did Little Eleven have this ability before?" Sun Xiaowan asked, "What realm is she?" ”
"No, this is the first time I have discovered that she is not yet a beginner, but she has the talent of a telekinesis." Chen Qi was also shocked, this was the first time he had discovered Xiao Eleven's abnormality.
Is this a superpower or ability? But Xiao Eleven obviously hasn't opened the gene lock yet, how can he have such an ability?
It's not scientific!
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
But now he can't do anything, without a professional like Dr. Chen, he and Xiao Shiyi are both headless flies, and Sun Xiaowan is even less likely to know.
"Her mental power should be sharper than ours, so it is indeed possible to sense it." Sun Xiaowan said.
"I thought so too. Eleven, did you feel anything uncomfortable? Chen Qi asked.
"No, I just don't like that sound very much." Little Eleven said, "But I can turn it off." ”
"And what else did you see?" Sun Xiaowan asked.
"No, just the monster and the cage. I didn't really like it, it was angry, it was very irritable, it had a very bloodthirsty and evil feeling. "Little Eleven.
"If you don't like it, don't look at it. Let's just go over and see. Chen Qi was afraid that something would happen to her, so he hurriedly stopped her and said.
"Okay." Little Eleven blinked and turned off the picture in his head.
Chen Qi and Sun Xiaowan both sped up, and the two walked underground for another ten minutes.
Suddenly, there was a very fishy smell in front of me, and there was a faint hint of fishy sweetness, and there was a sound of ruthless squirting, as if there were many reptiles crawling on the ground, and people could get goosebumps when they heard it.
Dangerous! Both of them realized something in an instant, and involuntarily picked up their bows and crossbows, tensed their bodies, and were ready to fight at any time.
Fortunately, the voices weren't coming at them, but were speeding away, as if something was calling them.
"Centipedes, mutant centipedes, a lot of mutant centipedes!" Sun Xiaowan said, even her voice changed.
Chen Qi also saw the scene in front of him, and also gasped, he only saw a little tail, it was several huge mutated black-red centipedes, each of which was like a bucket, crawling forward rapidly, and in front of them, there was a team like a black tide, which was moving forward rapidly.
They ran so fast that they soon disappeared without a trace.
"There seems to be more stuff in the air, Brother Seven, that monster is urging them." Little Eleven on his back said.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's likely that the Axes are experimenting with something. I've heard from the Axe Gang that there's an instructor sent from above, and there's a mysterious 'Dr. Leng', who has always been sneaky and very good at using poison, maybe this monster is what she created. Chen Qi guessed that his speculation was not groundless.
"You mean biochemical experiments?" Sun Xiaowan exclaimed.
"Since humans can turn on the genetic lock and become stronger, maybe monsters can too. Just like after humans open the gene lock, they are divided into warriors and telekinesis, and they can continue to open the gene lock to become stronger. The walking corpse and the bataquish are also mutated from humans, will there be such an existence as a telekinesis among them? And one of their abilities is likely to use brain waves to summon all kinds of monsters. It may want to summon these monsters to rescue it. ”
"That's a very reasonable explanation." Sun Xiaowan nodded, agreeing with his statement, "Then we may have to move forward quickly, there are so many monsters, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Axe Gang to hold on, and those companions of mine are in danger." ”
"I just hope they're prepared." Chen Qi said, "You'd better be mentally prepared. ”
In the troubled times, at a critical juncture, the Axe Gang is to take precautions, but also to protect themselves and those high-level, as for those slaves, who cares, it's okay not to kill them.
"I know, I'm prepared." Sun Xiaowan took a breath, and then said firmly: "But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up." ”
"Okay, let's get over there." Chen Qi said.
So, both of them sped up, and the further they went, the more thrilling they became, because the underground passage in front of them was very smooth and oily, as if it had been polished, and this was the effect of how many monsters passed through and then rubbed the ground.
It is estimated that the monsters of the entire city have run over there.
Suddenly, there was a clattering sound in front of me, and there were many screams, and a scorching smell wafted in from outside.
There was an exit ahead, and they had already seen some light, and the two of them hurried over and got out of the underground passage.
This passage is set up on the outside of the quarantine area, and the entire isolation area of the Axe Gang is made of iron bars, and several layers of protective netting are set up.
Of course, dangerous things like underground passages, exits and entrances cannot be set up in the quarantine area, which is very simple, because rat plagues and insect plagues are likely to come from underground.
The underground passages in the quarantine area are all used for escape, and only at the last moment will they be used urgently.
Chen Qi and Sun Xiaowan came out of the ground, and what they saw was a hell-like scene, in the firelight that rushed to the sky, there were monsters everywhere: countless bat monsters flying in the sky, dense walking corpses on the ground, and countless mutant mice, mutated centipedes, demon scorpions, mutant snakes, giant cockroaches, hell dogs, hell cats, etc., this is simply a large collection of monsters.
As long as the endurance is a little worse, when they see this scene, they are afraid that they want to vomit in disgust, or they are afraid to pee their pants.
Under such an all-round attack, the Axe Gang had little room for resistance at all, although they lit a lot of flames, set up many defensive areas, and even took out the heavy machine guns and flamethrowers at home, but in the face of these overwhelming all-round attacks, how long could they last?
Many people didn't even snort, and they were swallowed up by the monsters that spread all over the mountains, and there were no bones left.
Anyone who has seen the tragic situation of the marching ants after passing by should know the horror of these guys, but these mutated monsters in front of them are definitely a hundred times more terrifying than the marching ants.
The Axe Gang, Aokido, can basically be declared over, and there is not much point in resisting, only death awaits them.
