309.The Past - The Heroes of Tenkyo (1)
Five years ago, the remains of ancient underground track facilities in Tianjing, an unexplored area
A 'bang' gunshot, a crisp pop suddenly resounded throughout the dark world, startling countless screams.
Among the countless rats the size of wild boars, the white-clothed boy stepped forward, holding a black modified pistol in one hand, and aimed at the giant rat with a terrifying wound in the brain with an expressionless face.
This monster the size of a calf and covered in skyrocketing muscles has no way to resist the attacks of modern technology. The skull was half shattered by the massive kinetic energy, squeaking on the ground, frantically slashing its claws, as if trying to stand up and attack again.
And the young man in white stepped forward under the gaze of all the rats, and stood in front of the giant rat.
The other rats could only wrap themselves in a huge circle around them, chirping at the white-clothed boy, but they didn't dare to step forward anyway.
The young man in white walked up to it expressionlessly as the rats watched. One hand was constantly sprinkling some kind of powder around, and the other hand was slowly raised, aiming at the plasma head of the struggling and screaming giant rat.
Then, the pale finger slowly pulled the trigger.
'Bang'
The crisp sound of gunfire once again resounded through the tunnel, making all the rats tremble.
And again, accompanied by the sound of the gun exploding, the giant rat's huge body suddenly twitched violently. After that, there was no life.
The other rats surrounding the young man raised their heads and sniffed, as if confirming the leader's death, and let out a terrible scream in the next moment.
Dozens or hundreds of monsters the size of domestic pigs scattered in a panic after losing their leader. Just in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace in this corridor. Only the young boy and the corpse of the giant rat still exuding heat were left.
“…… There is a sense of fear but no basic group consciousness, and the garbage that is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
Blew the still smoking muzzle and stepped on the blood-soaked ground. The boy took out a cigarette from his white coat with a blank face, leaned it on the barrel and lit it.
After calming the boiling and chirping blood in his body, the boy in white sighed and looked up at a shadow on his head.
"Hey, let's all come down. The leader is dead. They won't interfere with our actions for a month. ”
“…… Really? ”
The shadow loosened slightly, revealing a boy's frightened head.
"So many rats died because of their leader. So you're going to let us go? Boss, are you sure your intel is okay? ”
"What's wrong with me coming out on my own?"
If something had gone wrong, I would have died.
The boy in the white lab coat puffed a puff of smoke from below, leaned against the wall on one side with an indifferent expression, and looked up at the timid boy above.
"Come down, safe."
"That. That's good......"
The round-faced teenager let out a long sigh of relief from above.
Immediately after, three small heads with pale faces emerged one after another from behind. The group gradually followed a hanging cable and fell to the ground under the impatient gaze of the white-robed young man.
"This is the Tianjing Underground Forbidden Zone, right?"
The ancients were amazing......
Looking at the crumbling walls around them full of waste and the dark world that gradually spread to the left and right, the teenagers couldn't help but show a look of horror on their faces.
Underneath Tenkyo lies an almost endless list of dark corners. Since the Cold War era, which began hundreds of years ago, countless underground facilities have dotted the area with holes. By the 2100s, when the war began, how many secrets were hidden in this underground was probably impossible even for the ancients who founded them.
And with the outbreak of war between ancient people and the deep sea, it was once subjected to very severe radiation attacks. In the dungeons, it is common to detect ultra-high radiogens that can cause radiation sickness even in new humans. In this anomalous environment. The creatures that remained in the ruins were also deformed into unimaginable states. In the darkness longing for any life to come.
The danger here has long been officially determined to be the most dangerous. Several reconnaissance teams have been wiped out by the surprise attacks of large-scale mutant populations. Even the elite team formed by the ship's mother lost contact underground.
That expedition scared human society half to death. In several exits, they are all heavily guarded, and layers of nets are arranged. But that doesn't stop a human from loving death.
For example, the current team, under the leadership of the young man in white, successfully came to the deepest part of the zài, where even the official records do not exist.
"Rest in place for five minutes. We'll go to the deepest part of the depths later. ”
The young man in white said succinctly.
“…… Top dog? ”
A slightly uneasy voice came from behind him.
"Huh? What's up? Vice-Captain. ”
"You just looked stern over there. Did you come up with something? ”
"Nope. It's just that I feel that the building route of the ancient people may be more complicated than we want. And the materials and materials used are not the same as we imagined. ”
What a great and splendid civilization.
The handsome young man held his trouser pocket with one hand, holding the cigarette that had been lit, and his dead pupils indifferently scanned the dark and damp world.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't the first time he'd been to such a place.
Escape from a rigid and pointless school and venture into this proverbial forbidden place. This is arguably one of the few joys of his life. You can feel the joy of life here every time.
But it's fun, but it's just a little bit of fun. So far, there has been nothing that has made him truly happy. It's just that last time he found a place he cared about very much. So this time I had to bring more people over.
There is always something that one cannot do on one's own. Kaga-sensei, they can't be abandoned. Then you have to figure it out on your own. For example, find something stupid and bold.
Although it is said that it can be used, these people can only use it. It's useless.
The boy in the white robe observed his surroundings. Thinking absentmindedly.
"Boss? Aren't you afraid? ”
"What's wrong? Do you want to go back now? ”
The young man in the white coat observed the surrounding scenery with his hands in his pockets, and said indifferently:
"Obviously, you are desperately begging me to let me bring you over to see the world, and now you are cowardly?"
"No, it's not a question of cowardice, but boss, aren't you really afraid? You let me face this thing, I don't dare shoot......"
Looking at the calf-sized giant rat with the hot corpse next to it, the round-faced boy really felt a chill rush from the tail vertebrae to his head. It's still dead. If alive, what kind of power can this monster burst out?
But now the two huge wounds on its head are enough to prove the reliability and horror of human technology. Just a firearm that a young man could hold was enough to pierce its skull, causing a complete imbalance in the nervous system. And the second shot directly stirred the brain into a paste along the flesh channel that came out of the first shot.
As a student of the Criminal Investigation Bureau who dropped out of school because of a fight. The round-faced boy could easily analyze the circumstances under which the monster died.
Its enemies did not hesitate or tremble in the slightest, and simply killed it here.
This guy. Are they human beings......
Slightly timidly glanced at the man who took out the notebook and wrote something with a carbon pen, and a chill broke out in the heart of the round-faced young man.
"Fear? Why? ”
Recording some inexplicable lines and symbols, the white-clothed young man who hardly looked like a human said in a smooth voice.
"What else are you afraid of this monster? Will he get a knife down your back? Will he trick you into trusting him with a trap? What is there to fear from a bunch of unfully evolved wretchants. ”
"But. But I instinctively think so—"
"Instinct? Are you saying that you haven't evolved completely? Vice-captain? ”
Taking a deep puff of his homemade cigarette, the boy in a white robe turned around and looked indifferently at his uneasy vice-captain.
"As long as we overcome inexplicable and wonderful things like fear and instinct, even the out-of-specification life of the ship's mother can only make way for us. Isn't that what it is now? What do you think this is? This is a place where the death record of the ship's mother is kept. We've even arrived here, what are you afraid of? ”
"Stop talking this useless nonsense in the future. This time I'll skim it for now, and if there's a next time, you, the vice-captain, will leave it to the front row scouts. I don't think you're going to like scouting monsters, are you? ”
Without waiting for the sweaty round-faced boy to say anything, the delicate young man in a white robe turned around indifferently and flipped through the small record board in his hand. He said in a voice without any ups and downs.
"Five minutes have passed, and everyone is done, right? Next, start reporting the number. Supplymen? ”
"Here."
"Front-row scout?"
"Here."
"Attacker?"
"Here we are."
"Vice-Captain?"
"Captain, I just spoke to you, huh?"
"It's just a business. Well. Then counting me, the captain, a total of five people are all in place. ”
The young man put away the record board, held a lit cigarette, and pulled out a black firearm from his white coat with a dead look, and skillfully pulled the chamber of the gun.
The others also drew various weapons from their packages or sides, and a series of crisp loading sounds echoed in the dark and narrow space. Gradually spread into the distance.
"The next step is to go to the underground space I marked. To be clear, the last time I acted alone. No other team members were brought along. Correspondingly, I don't know what the dangers are. So I can only guarantee my own life. As for yours, I can't help it. Do you understand? ”
"Got it!" *4
"Don't shout so loudly, my ears are not deaf, and neither are the rats."
Looking indifferently at the teenagers behind him, the white-robed boy still had the same expression of not caring about anything on his face.
"All the staff started the second inspection. Can I use a tactical flashlight? Are all survival kits nearby? Is the Geller indexer aligned? Electronic watches, cold light sticks, tactical knives, have they all been confirmed? ”
Another chattering sound rang out in the dark tunnel. Every now and then, a boy let out a short exclamation and lowered his head to adjust something on himself. It took about a few minutes for the tranquility to regain its tranquility.
The group of four people were fully armed, looking nervously and expectantly at the white-robed young man in front of them, waiting for the next order from the legend that had been circulated among the students and hooligans. They were convinced that under his leadership, they would be able to leave a strong mark on the world.
Especially in the middle of this forbidden area. This guy is the undoubted legend. And they will become legends for a new generation. At least that's what they themselves think.
At this time, I still think so.
"If you're ready, set the time and let's go."
Looking at the excited faces of those teenagers who were three or five years older than him, the white-robed boy showed a strange smile.
"Don't be too surprised to see anything then. If you are surprised and provoke something, you will die. (To be continued) R655
