Chapter Twenty-Three: The Line Between Life and Death
He moved his body and worked hard to spread his body, but the tissues of the blue worm's brain were very sticky, and he worked hard for a long time, but he only stretched his body a little.
He tried to connect to the armor's communication, but there was only a loud noise coming from the headphones, he had no choice but to give up, and then he began to stretch his body again, when the armor was turned on, the strong force supported the brain tissue of the blue worm, he felt much more comfortable, and gasped.
At this time, for the first time, he thanked the designer of the warframe for installing a miniature oxygen circulation system in the trunk of the Swift Dragon Warframe, which was enough for him to stay here for half a month.
He wanted to go out and have a look, but he quickly dismissed the idea, he had just checked the time, and now it was only nine hours since he crashed into the head of the blue worm, and the insect tide was afraid that it had not yet dispersed. He was a little annoyed in his heart, he had basically been training these days, and he hadn't learned much about the Zerg, and now, this omission had finally made him taste the bitterness.
But despite some apprehension, he still moved in one direction, he spread his hands away, tore the brain tissue of the blue worm, moved his body up a little, and then continued to tear, and then moved upward......
Sensing the composition of the tissues around him begin to change, and knowing that he had left the blue worm's brain, he paused and tried the communication again, but it still didn't work.
He finally gave up his plan to get in touch with the base first, according to his estimates, it was not far from the outside now, so he had to be careful. He moved carefully, and finally, he felt much less resistance to his advance, and suddenly stopped.
Cautiously, and with great trepidation in his heart, he pushed away the tissue in front of him, and forward, little by little, to remove the tissue that blocked his vision, and finally, he felt that his hand was completely free of resistance.
So he stopped, and slowly, carefully, lifted the tissue up a little. The dim light was shining in, and it was night, and he put his eyes in front of the little hole that had been opened, and looked out.
A few white-veined praying mantis were wandering nearby, and just as he thought that the situation around him was not bad, he saw a bloodthirsty demon insect slowly flying inside the ruins not far away. He is not a head and two big, in this position, as long as he is exposed to the air, he will definitely be spotted by the white-veined mantis and the bloodthirsty demon insect at the same time, and he cannot face these at the same time. What's more, in a position where he can't see, he doesn't know what kind of zerg exists.
"But it's good," he thought to himself, "if my luck had worsened, all I could see now would be bugs." ”
He experimented with the communicator again, but there was still no signal, and he realized that the communicator was broken instead of being interfered with, which was not good news. He can't contact the base, and even if he gets to the entrance of the base, he may not be able to get in.
But maybe it was his mother's blessing, at this time, he found that the damn bloodthirsty demon insect flew away, in the direction of the base, and several white-veined mantis were also wandering, except for one that was walking towards this side, the rest of the white-veined mantis were slowly moving away.
"Okay, that's it......" Su Zhuo said slowly in his heart, as if these insects had left according to his orders. When the last white-veined mantis also disappeared behind the complex, he expanded the vent in the center of the blue worm's eyebrows, and then raised his left arm, SN99 aimed at the white-veined mantis that was close at hand, but did not know that death had come.
One shot.
Unlike Gauss assault rifles, laser gun shells are fired with little to no sound. But a flash of light was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, and after Su Zhuo fired a shot, he closed the vent, and the sound of a white-veined mantis falling to the ground came from outside.
His heart began to pound, and at the same time he pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, perhaps he was really favored by his mother, and there was no sound outside except for the occasional chirping of insects.
He propped up the vent and slowly expanded, and at the same time poked his head out, looked around, and made sure that there were no more zergs around, so he put away the blue crystal nucleus and slowly jumped down. A lower quarter moon hung between the tall buildings in the distance, casting a faint moonlight, but it barely reflected any light on the gray and rough armor.
He looked around, bent his waist, and rushed towards the nearest building complex, and just as he was about to rush into it, the alarm suddenly came to his heart, and he hurriedly crouched in the middle of a pile of Zerg corpses, and looked at the sky through a piece of broken glass on the ground.
Five green mosquitoes slowly flew across the night sky, and when the Zerg arrived, the birds were also exterminated, and now it is difficult to see birds and finches in other places except in the area ruled by humans.
Several green mosquitoes flew farther and farther, and finally disappeared into the distant sky, Su Zhuo hurriedly got up and burrowed into the building complex. Although he had lost contact with the base now, he knew that the base was being monitored every day, and as long as he was under the monitor, someone would come looking for him.
He had not taken a few steps before the warning came again, his steps crept down, he had now learned to judge the strength of the zerg according to the strength of the warning, he looked around, climbed up a four-story building, and behind the curtain of a window on the third floor, he found a white-striped praying mantis devouring human corpses.
He slowly raised the laser gun, walked to the crack in the door facing the balcony, quietly stretched out his left arm, and fired.
The white light flashed, and the white-striped mantis fell to the ground. At the same time, the strong warning made Su Zhuo's hairs stand upside down, and he hurriedly retreated to the curtain.
A green worm flew straight in this direction, and it was stunned for a moment at the corpse of the white-striped mantis, and then looked around, as if it was a little puzzled. Su Zhuo roughly guessed that it was the laser that caused the arrival of the green worm, and he saw the green worm stay in place for a while and fly towards this side.
Su Zhuo licked his lips lightly, and then took out Chenyue on his back. The green worm's weakness is in the green crystal eyes on the top of its head, as long as he shoots properly, he can completely kill the enemy with one blow.
The green worm shook its wings, flew to the balcony, looked around, and looked at the white-striped mantis below, seeing the back of the green worm, Su Zhuo had the urge to rush out, but he held back vigorously, the compound eyes of the zerg were definitely not a joke.
The green worm flew towards the door, and with a flick of its tail, it dented the iron door, and with another pull, the iron door was pumped away, and flew towards the corner of the room against Su Zhuo's nose. The loud bang was particularly piercing in the night sky.
Su Zhuo withdrew the last trace of his gaze, and tightened the Chenyue in his hand, and now he pressed all the prices on the feeling.
The strings in my heart slowly tightened, and the shadows cast on the floor of the room gradually lengthened and extended, and finally took over the entire room.
Feel...... Feel...... He closed his eyes, and the desire to make a move in his heart was gradually ignited, more and more, more and more intense, and then, like an oil drum being ignited, he let out a suppressed low roar, raised his knife, and stabbed down!
Laugh at!
The green worm's huge body twitched twice, Chenyue inserted it from the green crystal's eyes, green liquid flowed out of it, and its other two eyes looked at Su Zhuo angrily but with sadness, but Su Zhuo's heart had become rock-solid. He pulled out the moon, and the green worm's body fell limply.
Su Zhuo slashed at the green worm's head, but it was not as easy as splitting the bloodthirsty demon worm, until he used the broken third eye as a breakthrough to cut the green worm's head in half, and he found the green crystal nucleus he wanted inside.
The successive gains made him gradually forget his current situation, until he heard a burst of hissing, he was startled, even without a sense of crisis, he knew that there was a large number of insects passing through, he glanced around, ran to the kitchen, opened a cabinet and hid in.
Now he only prayed that those zergs had urgent matters and that they would not stay here, otherwise his life would be sad.
Not long after he hid in, the phone in the room rang, he cursed in his heart, and heard the neighing of the insect tide getting closer and closer, but the phone rang vigorously, he rushed out as soon as he threw the cabinet door, picked up the phone and was about to curse, but saw that the phone was showing Zheng Jun's figure.
"Under that small courtyard 40 meters away in front of you, there is a basement with a dark compartment inside, someone is waiting for you there, hurry up, it's too late if you don't leave!"
He hurriedly shook the phone and rushed out, regardless of whether he would be discovered if he appeared now, his eyes swept around, and he found a small courtyard not far away. He jumped from the third floor and ran towards that side, two green worms swimming in the air spotted him, hissed, turned his head, and flew towards Su Zhuo with a surge in speed. The insect chirping behind him has become bigger and bigger, and you can imagine the scale of this insect tide. He ran to the door of the small courtyard, suddenly turned around and shot twice into the sky, the two green mosquitoes flashed quickly, and thus froze their bodies, Su Zhuo took the opportunity to jump in, and the two white-striped praying mantis on the other side also found him, paddling their giant feet to chase this side, he ignored it, rushed in, the phone in the room rang again, Su Zhuo hurriedly ran over to answer the phone.
"Under the bed in the bedroom!"
Bang!
Two white-veined praying mantis slammed through the courtyard wall and rushed in, he rushed towards the bedroom, but the door was locked, he punched the lock, the door opened, he lifted the bed, and there was a hole underneath, he shrank his body and got in.
There was a sharp hissing sound, Su Zhuo recognized the voice, the Demon Pattern Flying Insect was coming! It's already close at hand!
He entered the basement, and Zhou Miao stood at the entrance of a black hole and said, "This way! ”
Su Zhuo hurriedly rushed over, Zhou Miao grabbed Su Zhuo's hand, and the two of them ran towards the depths of the passage together. Su Zhuo took the time to look back, and just happened to see a demonic flying insect rushing into the basement, a pair of fierce and cunning green eyes, just met Su Zhuo's gaze.
It activated its speed, Su Zhuo suddenly moved in his heart, subconsciously raised SN99, and fired a shot towards a position, and the figure of the demonic flying insect suddenly appeared, and instantly fell into the light.
Rumble!
The ground shook violently, and the explosion first started in the small yard, and then quickly spread to the bedroom, basement, and tunnel. The concrete floor flipped up, and the strong shock wave tore apart the bodies of the zergs, and the demonic flying insect that wanted to chase and kill Su Zhuo was also blocked.
"Can you run faster?" Zhou Miao's voice, Su Zhuo was stunned, looked at the little girl holding his hand, and suddenly realized that the little girl had not yet exerted her full strength, he nodded, and ran towards the depths of the passage.
"Boom, boom!"
After a series of explosions, the feeling of danger in his heart was finally completely broken, and he understood that this was the fact that he had finally completely shaken off the demonic flying insects. They ran for a while, Su Zhuo felt them start to go up, Zhou Miao pushed open an iron gate, they appeared under the moonlight again, and the roar of the insect tide also came again, and it was estimated that they were less than two hundred meters away from here.
"Don't get stunned, go quickly!"
Zhou Miao pulled Su Zhuo and took him to a building in the distance, all the zergs he had encountered along the way, including the green worm, were killed by the rockets shot by Zhou Miao from the palm of his hand, Su Zhuo was dumbfounded, they rushed into the building, Zhou Miao took him to the basement, and when he arrived at the basement, a thick iron door, she stopped to enter the password, the door opened, and the two of them walked in, and it was a cold iron door after a few steps, and the password was entered again...... It was repeated until the fourth time, when they entered an elevator, and at this time, Zhou Miao said, "Okay, it's safe now." ”
Su Zhuo looked Zhou Miao up and down like a monster, just along the way, the little girl had killed at least two third-level Zerg and 12 first-level and second-level Zerg, he never thought that this little girl who never looked at people with a straight eye would have such terrifying strength.
The elevator descended slowly and stopped at the display position of -1, which was the basement level.
Seeing the busy crowd on the basement floor, Su Zhuo suddenly felt very warm in his heart, not long ago, he tasted the feeling of being alone for the first time, there was no backup, there was no detector that knew everything, and there was no guidance from Zheng Jun behind him at a critical time......
That was the first time he had a real feeling about the end times.
"Follow me to the second basement floor." Zhou Miao didn't stop for a moment, and walked towards the elevator leading to the bottom.
In the squadron leader's office, Zheng Jun said to Lin Shan with a smile: "Su Zhuo is not simple, he can kill the blue worm, although he is only a larva, he can still survive, if this news spreads, Su Zhuo will definitely be famous all over the world." ”
Lin Shan also showed a pleased smile, but then he said with a calm face: "I also said that if it weren't for you this time, he wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation." Seeing that Nie Ping on the side was slightly displeased, Lin Shan said: "It's not that he won't be allowed to do those dangerous tasks, but that if he is allowed to grow up for a while, in the face of the Zerg, the power he can exert will be even greater." ”
Nie Ping stood up, "Captain Lin, do you think that others have always been stuck in their lives when they are alive?" She turned to Zheng Jun and said, "Squadron leader, if there is nothing to do, I'll go first." ”
Zheng Jun was stunned and said, "It's okay, you go and rest." ”
Nie Ping left, and Zheng Jun said: "Look at you, you will offend the little girl in this way." ”
Lin Shan shook his head, "She's not angry with me, the third squad has suffered heavy casualties this time, and she, the captain, feels uncomfortable, she should be." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Jun sighed, "What's the solution, in the last days, there will always be deaths." ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhou Miao's voice said: "Squadron leader." ”
Nie Ping returned to the residential area, she lived in room 113, and Lu Yuan's Lu Yun brother's room was only a few numbers apart, Lu Yuan seemed to come out, greeted Nie Ping, chatted a few more words, and talked about this matter.
"Captain, I'm just not convinced."
"If you are not convinced, swallow it for me, and the squadron leader has no selfishness." Nie Ping said lightly.
Lu Yuan sneered: "Selfless? Why is it that the lives of a dozen scientists are not the lives of our brothers, why is the life of a little hairy boy not the lives of our brothers, and shouldn't everyone help each other in the last days? If you look at some people, where is there a bit of fairness and integrity? Aren't you elbowing your own people everywhere? I won't say much about Lu Yun and I being from ordinary people, but what about you, captain, you are a person with a background, Ling Zun is the captain of the Dawn, the famous Vice Admiral Nie Yunyang, and they don't give a good face at all, captain, I am angry if you don't look angry. ”
When Lu Yuan spoke, he looked at Nie Ping cautiously, but to his disappointment, Nie Ping's expression did not change in the slightest. Nie Ping asked, "Have you finished speaking?" ”
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, nodded, and Nie Ping said, "Please let me go." Lu Yuan got out of the way, Nie Ping opened the door, went in, and closed the door.
"Su Zhuo, you're coming in and out of my office a lot now." As soon as he saw Su Zhuo, Zheng Jun smiled.
"Fortunately, if it weren't for a little luck and the blessing of my mother's spirit in the sky, it would be a farewell every time."
"Okay, I now announce that your training period is completely over, from now on, you are officially counted as a member of the Yuhang Transformer Squadron, your captain is Zhou Miao, and the deputy captain is Lin Shan."
"Yes!" Hearing that the training period that was causing him a headache could be over, Su Zhuo smiled even though he was very tired.
"It looks like you're tired too, go back and sleep first, and when you wake up tomorrow, go to the place where you did the modder test to re-examine your body, and then remember to send me a copy of the data."
"Okay." Su Zhuo nodded and said goodbye to Zheng Jun, and Lin Shan also said goodbye to Zheng Jun at this time and followed Su Zhuo out.
"It's not a bad time."
"Hehe, Uncle Lin teaches well." Su Zhuo said, he couldn't help but yawn, because the previous crystal nucleus was sold part, his crystal nucleus was eaten, and now he can't replenish it, so the sequelae of using energy haven't eased yet.
"If it weren't for you, we'd have suffered heavy casualties this time." Lin Shan said, "I may be able to escape, but the other brothers in the reformer squadron are afraid that many of them will not be spared." ”
He was suddenly a little curious, "It's just that what I don't understand is, how did you come up with that trick at that time?" Bomb yourself into the brains of blue worms as cannonballs? ”
"Well, this one...... Su Zhuo scratched his head, and then smiled a little wryly: "I was also scared to death at that time, so after I flew up, I saw that guy was going to attack again, and a voice in my heart said, 'You should be like this', so I did it." ”
They walked into the elevator, Lin Shan smiled and patted Su Zhuo's shoulder, "I can't see it, you are quite guts!" ”
"Uncle Lin has a good way of teaching." Su Zhuo smiled, they returned to the living area, and as soon as they went back, Su Zhuo entered his room, took off his armor, and fell asleep.
The lights in the room dimmed, and at this moment, the box containing the blue worm crystal nucleus hanging outside the battle armor suddenly lit up along with Su Zhuo's body.
