Chapter Eighty-Nine: Repression

Qin Feng's brows furrowed, the street had been occupied by the insect again, who would have thought that the originally hidden action would be destroyed on a stone, if it was an air attack, the team would have to retreat, the stone splashed by the missile explosion may not be able to cause damage to the insect , but it would be fatal to any human being.

"Search for sewer entrances." Qin Feng said unwillingly.

"Actually, that's the safest way to go." Toyama Shan's voice sounded in Qin Feng's ears, "Now that we have successfully approached, it is even safer to enter the underground sewer system from here than to find the place where the tentacles drilled out from the source of the mall." ”

"It's just that once inside, neither the Striker helicopter nor the Tengu mecha can provide effective fire support." Qin Feng was a little worried that these teams who ventured deep underground, the underground and the ground were destined to be two completely different worlds, and the most dangerous thing was that it was the home of the insects.

Qin Feng was somewhat unacceptable when he didn't take into account the intricate underground waterway system when drawing up the battle plan, and even if he did, he had nowhere to find these waterway drawings that were already difficult to find, and now he wanted his soldiers to go deep underground without knowing anything.

Unlike ordinary Imperial warriors, who were urgently issued gas masks while building a defensive line, the complex device developed by the Imperial military in the face of the increasing frequency of chemical toxin air raids by the Soviets on the front line was not a traditional gas mask with a filter, it built a separate air purification device, which used the difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the mask generated by breathing to draw in the air outside, and then compress it into a particulate filter. Using the wires connected to the kinetic carbine to power the filter, the air is filtered to an absolutely pure point before it is pressed into the snorkel, and there is actually a square oxygen supply device similar to the astronaut's back on the back, but this time the operation is in an aerobic environment, and diving underground to carry such a device really seriously limits the mobility of the soldiers, so it is not allocated. The whole poison mask is not significantly different from the old-fashioned appearance, the same black, the same terrifying. The air purifier is housed in a black filter like a pig's nose and connected to the mask via a breathing valve, while the goggles are replaced by two traditional pieces of round glass with an oval-shaped strip of double-layer tempered glass and treated with an anti-fogging compound.

After receiving the order to enter on the spot, the team retreated to the intersection of the two alleys, and the two soldiers used a thermoelectric knife to pry open the rusty sewer manhole cover, and a thick and blackened gas gushed out the moment the manhole cover was opened. The soldiers involuntarily took two steps back, and the captain, who noticed that the gas mask perfectly blocked the suspicious gas, gestured, and then grabbed the edge of the wellhead with both hands and jumped first.

The mouth of the black hole is like the open mouth of a monster, and it looks even more incomparably clear in this battlefield filled with gunpowder, but the remaining soldiers did not hesitate, and jumped down one by one according to the order of marching in the sewers arranged in advance, and the last soldier leaned out of the manhole cover after the blasting robot hovering above them also got in, and pulled back the manhole cover forcefully, with a soft sound of "oh", the last ray of sunlight was isolated by the thick manhole cover.

This is not the main sewer road, the main road is about twenty meters below the street. The team members did not turn on the tactical flashlights, and the portable night vision devices placed on the helmets were enough to provide them with good visibility conditions. The Exploding Robot flies from the back to the front of the group, and its camera switches to night mode.

The city sewers are also a very new place compared to Qin Feng, this huge system that is generally not noticed by the citizens is equivalent to an underground city, with intricate drainage pipes and ditches intertwined, almost as complex as a giant spider's web. From the perspective of the bursting robot, Qin Feng finally understood why the fungus blanket split its tentacles and went to the swimming pool to absorb water.

Because there wasn't a drop of water in the sewer!

The dry riverbed was covered with a thick layer of dry cracked tortoiseshell-like silt, and the sewer pipes leading from the walls on both sides to the residents' homes were blocked with all kinds of garbage.

"The fungus blanket has absorbed all the water, and it is already possible to further confirm that the scale of the underground fungus blanket will be larger than originally thought." Toyama quickly analyzed the images that were sent back to the base.

"Can't even collect the rain? So how big does it have to be? Qin Feng expressed surprise at this conclusion.

"The water is not all used to develop the fungus itself, and it is likely to be passed on to the insects in the form of nutritional feedback. Although insects are afraid of water, it is an essential element that supports their activities.

In the moments that the commander and the intelligence officer discussed, the team had already completed the twenty-meter long side road and arrived at the main road to the water. This place is obviously about twice as large as the branch road, and the people who were originally curled up and moving forward can suddenly stretch their bodies, straighten their waists and stride normally, although the top of the sewer has just changed from being close to the waist to being close to the helmet.

The team did not make a sound report, their commander also enjoyed the same perspective as them, any emergency commander could see it at the first time, if he fixed his eyes here, and Qin Feng's eyes had been watching here, he had a hunch that there would be a big discovery today, even if there was a nest of stinging snakes here, he would not feel too surprised.

The fungus blanket is a symbol of the emergence of a powerful force of the swarm.

There is also a cross-cutting trunk road from the location of the mall, and the team can enter the underground of the mall with just a turn, but until now there is no trace of the fungus blanket that is somewhat inconsistent with the original conjecture, it stands to reason that since it can absorb almost the rich water in the entire sewer, this fungus blanket should be surprisingly large, even if it is turned into nutrients for the alien insects on the ground, then it must be large enough to accommodate hundreds of alien insects.

The captain who walked first pulled out the hot knife that was not heated, while the second Imperial samurai held the carbine tightly, and if he hit the bug head-on at close range, the hot knife would instantly clear the threat, and if he encountered a bug at a distance, the bullet poured by the second soldier would buy everyone time to react.

The leader of the captain pressed down lightly with his palm, and the team members who followed in an infiltration tactical formation quickly and silently stopped their footsteps and bent down, everyone gently stuck to the wall, and the claws of the bursting robot also silently grabbed the wall of the sewer, and the two high-definition probes in the eyes poked out of the corner slightly, and then deflected towards the corner.

"Did you see that?" Toyama asked softly.

"See." Qin Feng's voice was inexplicably a little depressed.

"You're going to play your hole cards."
