Chapter 32: Dunkirk (4)
When the last plane finally came to a stop in the tunnel of the valley with difficulty, a terrifying cyclone finally floated above everyone's heads.
The whole sky had completely turned into night, and there were bursts of earth-shattering loud noises, like thunder in the nine heavens, and a dull roar continued to be heard in the clouds. The forest is terrifying, filled with an endless eerie atmosphere.
The earth shook violently, and all the unsecured gravel and gravel in the valley was swept up into the sky, torn apart, and thrown down again......
Faced with this hellish scene, the members of the Second Air Force who survived the catastrophe all turned pale, and they couldn't see whether they were so frightened that their faces turned pale or whether they were reflected by the incandescent lights from their flight helmets, but they didn't speak for a long time.
"It seems that our rescue operation has become a self-rescue operation from now on." Lin Yi, who was the first to break the silence, couldn't help but complain.
"Indeed, there is no way that anyone will survive such a storm and death cyclone." Hua Lianka nodded in agreement, and then added, "If they're really around here." β
"In any case, when the storm is over, we will continue to search." Qin Feng insisted, frowning imperceptibly at the roaring wind that was shaking the sky outside, "I have a hunch that there must be people alive." β
It's like convincing others, and it's like convincing yourself.
Even if he didn't want to, he had to admit that Hua Lianka's words were right.
In the face of such devastating power, the odds of a survivor surviving can only be described as a percentage of the decimal point......
But......
But it's not despair after all!
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he doesn't want to give up!
"Hopefully your hunch will bring us good luck, Lieutenant." Hualenka shrugged as she turned and walked deeper into the tunnel.
"Where are you going, Hualianka?" Lin Yi asked.
"I had to find a bigger rock, and when I landed, one of the landing gear of my Thunder got stuck in the crack...... Yes! β
Before the Russian girl pilot's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a rapid exclamation. Then there was a sudden stumbling, as if he had tripped over something, and almost fell. She lowered her head, only to realize that the culprit who had almost caused her to fall turned out to be a black mass of things.
"Looks like it's you, it's the right size." Hualenka said as if muttering to herself, bending down to pick it up.
Then her figure froze suddenly!
With the blazing light from the flying helmet, she could see exactly what was in her hand!
That's a steel helmet!
A dark green steel helmet belonging to the marines of the "Ark Force"! The emblem composed of the golden shield of the Earth Defense Force and the crossed double swords inlaid on the top is particularly eye-catching!
If you can ignore the left side of the helmet, if you have a hammer blow to the ground, most of the piece collapses......
If you can ignore the back side of the helmet, I don't know if the hole that was drilled by some sharp weapon......
But none of this was what shocked her!
What shocked the beautiful female pilot was the weight of the steel helmet, which seemed to be carrying something else......
Therefore, the trembling plain hand, after a short hesitation, still with a hesitation of surprise, slowly turned the steel helmet around......
And then......
And she saw it......
The pale face that suddenly appeared under the steel helmet!
And......
Only one face!
It was clearly a dead man's face, and I don't know how long it had been dead, and it looked extremely miserable in the light......
One eye was missing, and the other was hanging crookedly out of its socket. There is a large jagged scar on the neck, as if something has been torn from the neck, and the bones of the cervical vertebrae can be seen from the incision in the neck, as well as the tissue fluid flowing from it......
"Wow, a
It was almost lost, and with the scream of puncturing the eardrum, Hua Lianka subconsciously threw the head out of his hand.
Lin Yi immediately jumped up, and when Qin Feng didn't react, he rushed to the female pilot's side: "What happened......
Speech...... I can't say it anymore.
Fear began to grow rapidly in his heart, but not because of the head that had been thrown in front of him by Hua Lianka, but because he saw it......
Person!
Dead person!
The situation in the tunnel was simply terrible, the ground was covered with blood, there were stumps and severed arms everywhere, and the ground was littered with all kinds of corpses, all dressed in Marine uniforms, all with their heads separated, some with their chests and abdomen cut open, their internal organs and liver sausages flowing all over the ground, and some even split in half from head to toe, and blood splattered all over the rock face. All shapes, a gust of yin wind drifting from nowhere, a bloody breath came to the nose, as if the hell of the nose was still excessive.
Lin Yi unconsciously gasped, and a cold terror took control of him. He felt his hair stand on end, his eyes bulged out, his mouth open, his tongue hardened, his mind churned, and he wanted to shout, but it was as if he heard his own voice a hoarse cry, far away from him, not his own.
"This ...... It's ......"
"Looks like this is the source we're looking for......"
I don't know when, Qin Feng, who was already standing beside him, gently patted Lin Yi's shoulder and let out a heavy sigh.
"Old, Boss......"
"I just don't know if there are any other survivors......" Qin Feng turned on the wolf's eye flashlight, and the concentrated light hit the dilapidated radio station in the corner.
It was a makeshift radio station, like a makeshift patchwork of steel helmets, tangled in a jumble of wires, and a bloodied corpse lying on it.
Qin Feng stepped forward, carefully pushed the corpse away, and carefully examined it in the bright light of the flashlight for a long time, and let out a long breath of turbidity.
"It looks like these surviving Marines have been trapped here for a long time." He said, "There are all Zerg outside, they lack communication equipment, and they have no way to get out of here, so they can only dismantle a pair of steel helmets and protective clothing, and use wires to form this station." β
"So, Lieutenant, the signal you heard at the center of the air finger was sent by them?" Hualenka asked.
"It should be." Qin Feng nodded, "This kind of simple device can't connect to the video communication device, so this operator can only use the oldest method......"
As he spoke, he looked at the body lying aside.
The protective suit was gone, the blood soaked most of the uniform, and it was impossible to see where the wound was, judging from the vaguely recognizable epaulettes on the shoulder, this was still a brigadier general, and officers of this rank were rare even in the entire "Ark Force".
"Maybe it's the commander of a mech brigade in the Marine Corps......"
Qin Feng thought so, but no matter how prominent his identity was in his life, at this moment, there was only a lifeless corpse left, no different from those soldiers who died tragically nearby.
The pale face looked extremely miserable under the direct light of the flashlight, and the lifeless eyes reflected the light like a dead fish, freezing the last expression before death, as if seeing something terrible, but at the moment when this horror reached its peak, it was taken away from life.
Qin Feng sighed, and was about to close his blind eyes......
Suddenly!
The corpse sat up suddenly!
At the same time, the scream was as terrible as a howl, and it suddenly exploded in the quiet tunnel with extremely high decibels!
"Ahh
Zombie!
No!
It's not a corpse!
Because the fear in the eyes of the corpse has turned into madness, and the screams have instantly turned into screams!
And its hand unconsciously grabbed Qin Feng's neck, and the force was so great that it almost strangled him to death!
"Calm down! Checkmate! You're safe now, safe! Qin Feng struggled to break free from the other party's iron hoop-like claws of death, "See clearly!" We are people! It's the 2nd Air Force of the Air Force! It's human! It's human! β
Finally, after the three words that were constantly being emphasized overcame his roar with increasing force......
The pilots who were constantly surrounding him pointed their guns at the black holes......
The suddenly resurrected general finally regained his consciousness from that hysterical madness.
"First, second...... Air squads? He struggled to speak.
Qin Feng nodded.
Then he began to cry, like a child.
The young lieutenant didn't try to comfort the other party anymore, for these people, they had escaped from the claws of the cruel and bloodthirsty Zerg, and they were surrounded by a sea of insects on all sides, and they didn't know if the mothership had abandoned itself and left them on this dead planet. Now suddenly I found a rescue from my companions...... From the despair of ten deaths to the vitality of a ray of light, such a big emotional turn really needs an opportunity for catharsis.
So he just waited quietly, waiting for the brigadier's crying to slowly turn into convulsions, and then asked, "How did you get here, General?" β
"We have encountered a trap from the Zerg, and my brigade headquarters and mech units have run apart." "But there is no way to do it, because everyone is running for their lives, everyone is in a rout." Some soldiers even shot at their own compatriots in order to gain a chance to escapeβonly to slow down their pursuit a little after they had wounded them and let the swarm tear the wounded apart...... God, I don't want to see that a second time! β
ββ¦β¦ And what about later? Qin Feng asked.
"We ran at first to the south, where there was a cave, and many of the routs were converging there...... "The Brigadier General bowed his head, and continued, "but we found it when we got there...... It's gone. β
"Can't get through?" Lin Yi interjected and asked.
"They have been surrounded, the entrance of the cave is surrounded by countless sea of insects, several soldiers set up machine guns and are desperately resisting, but the insect swarm is still getting closer and closer......"
"That's ......"
"We had to start running north, and we were intercepted by the Zerg on the way." "This is a new kind of reptile, small and without the ability to attack from a distance, but the hard exoskeleton is almost invulnerable, and it is simply difficult for our bullets to do enough damage," the brigadier general said. Their razor-sharp claws can tear through steel with ease. β
He paused: "We ran all the way, resisted all the way...... Many people were sacrificed and torn to pieces by the swarm, and I watched with my own eyes as Peng Zhanzhen, the correspondent of the brigade headquarters, was thrown away like a toy by several bugs...... He screamed miserably, his body getting smaller and smaller as it was torn apart little by little, but he never died...... I haven't died......"
β¦β¦
"Later, we hid here. Strange to say, when we entered this place, the bugs didn't chase after them, but just surrounded them outside. At first, we didn't know why, we just tried to call for help from the mothership. Until...... Until ......"
When the brigadier general said this, as if he had dug out some psychological shadow, his eyes, which had gradually calmed down, began to glow with infinite horror again.
"Until... What the? As if he was infected by the other party's emotions, Qin Feng couldn't help but lighten his tone and asked cautiously.
"It wasn't until ......," the brigadier general swallowed, "that we didn't understand the real reason why those reptiles didn't come in......"
"That'...... The reason is ......"
