Chapter 161: Mutation Crisis (3) (None of the special instructions in the future are all two-in-one)
When the steamer arrived at the pier, the smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp was still in the air.
A few freighters were moored at sea not far away, and since there were no coal transporters, the dock porters only carried low-alcohol liquor to see if there were any workers on the ships docked to make money to subsidize their families.
Plainclothes soldiers hidden in the crowd entered the city in batches, and large quantities of arms and protective clothing were also delivered to the city in the form of goods.
Bill was accompanied by Professor Beddoli and his assistant, Chief Charles, and they rented a carriage and headed straight for the city hall in the city of Grunsea.
Crossing the road along the way, the once lively and vibrant city now looks unusually depressed and lifeless.
As he passed by the mining square, Bill saw a number of unemployed workers squatting around the square, with a sign on their bodies indicating that they were in good health and had no bad habits, and that they could do any kind of hard work.
There are also many large and small companies on the street with closed doors and signs for rent and sale hanging in front of them.
As the impact of the explosion on the mine has not yet been completely eliminated, news of a refurbishment by Sival has caused companies that depend on coal-related industries to declare bankruptcy.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the development of the city from a small fishing village to a city in the short period of time has passed, so the influence of the Church of Oude has not extended into the city.
Soon at the Guikronsi Municipal Government Building, the Mayor expressed his warmest welcome to the arrival of the special forces, and he was looking forward to the people sent by the capital, since the time when the city government sent people to blockade the Sivar mining area was inversely proportional to the municipal revenue.
After greetings and dinner, Charles finally led the special forces who arrived at the designated location one after another to board the steam wagon, and together with the police officers, they jointly built a temporary hidden transit station and blockade between the Sivar mining area and the city of Jikronsi.
Government officials are simply unreliable, and the only thing that can be quickly agreed between the subordinate police and the military......
Night seems like the best time to sneak in, but in a mine full of flammable and explosive gases, Charles decides to break into the quarantined world after dawn and plan ahead.
In the middle of the night, in a makeshift base crowded with armed police and soldiers, the dim Davy lamps swayed overhead, and the figures on the ground were confused, and the atmosphere was about to freeze.
The police officer who had been in charge of the lockdown couldn't wait to hand over the task to Charles, who was standing in front of the blackboard wall and telling the crowd about the plan of action that was about to begin.
"Soldiers and policemen, scientists and scientists, all of you are the Norman elite, so on behalf of the Norman military and the king, I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to you for your courage. ”
Charles's opening words were not greeted with applause and cheers from everyone, and the temperature in the crowded room continued to rise, and even Professor Bedley took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and neck, feeling his mouth dry.
"In that case, I won't say more nonsense, tonight we will send a team to infiltrate the Sivar mine, and there are several objectives to be completed. ”
"From the entrance, the miners' quarters, the administrator's building, the steam wagon parking lot, as well as the underground research institute and the underground mine were inspected separately to confirm the main gathering place of the mutants and the number of mutants. ”
"At the same time, check if there are still mutated humans alive in the Sivar mining area, and rescue them. ”
"Finally, and most importantly, we have to figure out whether the widespread outbreak of mutation in the mine is an accident or if someone is deliberate!"
The chalk clicked in Charles's hand, and everyone was attracted by his movements, because they had known these things for a long time, and it was only to emphasize them again.
And what Charles has to say next is what everyone is most concerned about tonight.
"So did anyone take the initiative to put on protective clothing and lead the team to infiltrate the Sivar mining area?"
The cops swallowed their saliva first, and took a step back unashamedly, having mustered all their courage to hold on to this makeshift base.
Moreover, the police officers present had all used binoculars to see the mutant trapped in the cage of the iron net in the Sivar mining area from a distance, and that thing was not at all a creature that humans had the impression of being able to kill and deal with!
Charles looked around and saw that no one took the initiative to raise his hand, so he could only ask questions again.
"I need two guides who are familiar with the terrain of the mining area to lead two teams respectively, and I only have a map of the buildings in the mining area before the explosion, who is more familiar with the mining area?"
The officers simultaneously and quickly raised their hands to a man, and the young officer who was pointed out shivered and broke out in a cold sweat in the sweltering heat of mid-June.
"Very good, take this friend to try on protective clothing, we still need a guide, is there a suitable person?"
Professor Bedley looked at Bill, and of course a person of his status was embarrassed to point out in public that Bill had put him in danger, but Charles still accurately spotted Professor Beddory's words and eyes.
"Mr. Cliff, I remember that you lived in the mines for a while, you must remember the terrain and the various locations in the Sivar mines, right?"
Standing at the back of the crowd, Bill was expressionless, and it was difficult for his eyes to flicker, and no one knew what the man was thinking.
"I only know where I was before the explosion, but if you can't find anyone, I can give it a try, and the live-action CS is worth returning to this hellish place. ”
“...... What is the live-action version?"
"No, nothing, something interesting came to mind. ”
Charles and the others were still puzzled, only Professor Bedoli had long since become accustomed to his ramblings and nonchalance.
"In that case, let's ask Mr. Cliff to try on the hazmat suit too, I wore that damn thing once, and it would be hard to hold up without special training. ”
"Once inside, Mr. Cliff's team will be in charge of the area around the gate and in the absentee's dormitory, and I will send another team deeper to inspect it. ”
"I'll ask the soldiers to protect you, and hopefully the team will find out more under your leadership, such as ways to actually kill that thing. ”
Chief Charles made a promise to Bill within his means, although it was a false promise, after all, in the face of any difficulty, everyone wanted to get away with it.
Anyone who is willing to pull you in a critical moment can be called an angel.
However, Bill stiffly raised the corners of his mouth, and went to the next door to change clothes under the guidance of the soldiers, and Professor Beddoli and his assistants also left with Bill, and it was impossible for him to enter the mine at his age, so there was no need to stay.
The soldiers carefully removed the heavy tin boxes and oxygen tanks from a steam wagon, the metal grinding against the ground with a screeching sound.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, ten sets of protective suits and several large boxes of oxygen tanks were finally moved to the temporary storage room.
Professor Beddoley and his assistant dragged the heavy hazmat suit over Bill, and it was only then that Bill could truly understand what Charles's words meant by the unsupportable.
"Hell, this thing weighs at least 20 pounds!"
"With this kind of tin bucket, not only is your mobility blocked, but your vision is also reduced......
Ha air blows on the curved glass surface, and Bill twists his neck to adjust the angle, which makes the exhaled heat disappear from other directions.
"This is really the first generation of products, and there is a lot of room for improvement in every way. ”
The sound buzzed through the tin sheet, and Bill struggled out of the storage room, but after only a dozen steps, he felt like he was soaking wet.
Professor Bedoli tapped on the suit from the outside, and the thumping sound was particularly obvious, reverberating in the pinna, causing bursts of tinnitus......
"That's enough, Professor, I'm fine!"
Shouting at the top of his voice, Professor Bedoli stopped his movements, nodded and motioned for his assistant to connect the two thick rubber tubes to the oxygen tank.
The air inside the shield immediately became very foul, and the specially concocted isolation gas emitted a rotten egg smell, which made Bill frown unconsciously.
Fortunately, Williams' body has been strengthened after many reorganizations and adequate nutritional intake, otherwise with the original foundation of this body, he would not be able to stand up in the protective suit.
And that's not even counting the weight of weapons and portable small oxygen tanks.
The soldiers handed Bill a shotgun, and it felt terrible to hold the weapon through a thick layer of rubber and wire mesh, and it was difficult to insert the thick index finger into the trigger hole and difficult to pull out.
Professor Bedoli solved this problem with Vaseline and the method of shrinking the stencil, and in the current situation, there is only so much that the professor can do.
"Cliff, can you still hold on?"
"If you can't get used to the protective suit, ask for a break with Chief Charles, although we are accompanying engineers, there is no need to really risk ourselves. ”
Professor Bedley looked at Bill worriedly as he freed him from his hazmat suit, sweat soaking all his clothes and his hair dripping like freshly washed.
However, Bill refuses the offer, he must go deep into the mines of Sivar, and even on a whim, it may be a good option to hide under the hazmat suit forever.
He needed more stimulation to validate his existence.
Time passed quickly, and in the end, Chief Charles selected eight of his fifty soldiers to enter the mine as the first force.
......
As the dawn of dawn drove away the darkness, the dusty long chain Gragra was pulled away, and in the depths of the weed-covered highway with weeds and trees, the rumbling of steam locomotives shattered the last tranquility before dawn......
The two steam wagons left behind a cloud of dust and instantly rushed into the large iron gate that isolated the Sivar mining area!
Bang bang bang –
Several black shadows quickly flashed in front of him, and the steam car had already crashed into several mutants......
Even though they are human mutants, it's not an exaggeration to call these scaly, barely visible creatures zombies or monsters.
Dark green blood remained on the windshield, and there were already mutants that had been run under the wheels of the steam car, and the blood trails followed the brake marks on the ground for a long time......
The soldier in charge of opening the door quickly strafed the mutant who tried to break through the iron gate, and another soldier in a protective suit immediately locked the big iron gate again with an iron chain!
Bang dang!
The soldier who locked the door ran desperately in the direction of the steam truck with all his might, even if he was carrying dozens of pounds of weight, he couldn't stop his heart from wanting to escape!
The mutated police dog rushed to the soldier who was still shooting with a submachine gun at great speed, its whole body was covered with black folded skin, and its head was open at the same time!
Foul and foul slime spurted from the open mouth on the back of its head, and the large tin buckets on the steam cart quickly opened the door and fired simultaneously with sniper rifles from the side.
Bang Bang Bang -
The mutant police dog was hit by the impact of the sniper rifle and twitched incessantly, wailing incessantly.
Under the bulky protective suit, the soldier was still inhaling in shock, his hand badge maintaining the posture of covering his face, trembling and lowering his arm to swallow saliva.
"Hurry up and run!"
"Hurry up! That thing isn't dead yet!"
The man on the steam wagon shouted through the iron sheet, his voice was so anxious that he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and the soldier turned his head slightly to look behind him, and instantly dropped the submachine gun in his hand......
"Damn, damn it, damn it!"
Heavy steps stepped on the slimy ground, and the mutants on the ground who had been hit by the steam wagon also shook their bodies one after another to recover, and strange sounds continued to come out of their throats.
Giggle cluck –
Giggle cluck -
The snake-like figure and ugly blood-red eyeballs rotate rapidly at a circumference of 720 degrees, and suddenly show interest after seeing something that moves!
"Damn, I'll drive the car over to pick them up, and you stay where you are to cover!"
"Damn monsters, how the hell will they be killed, and can they be resurrected if they are crushed!"
The soldiers in the big tin buckets were a little flustered, dealing with mutants was very different from dealing with humans, and it wasn't just about being able to shoot and kill people.
When something strange and incomprehensible happens in the world, people will probably have a moment to ask, "Is there something wrong with me or something is wrong with the world?"
The situation of this breakthrough into the Sivar mine was even more dangerous than Chief Charles had imagined, but the panic and helplessness was still reflected in the eyes and hearts of these ten people.
The commander in charge of the whole team was standing on a hillside and observing with a copper telescope, after all, they could not approach this place without protective clothing, and it could be said that they did not want to approach the area around the mining area, which did not know if it would really be infected.
The monster whose knees had been shattered by the machine gun fell to its knees, and there were only a dozen mutants around the large iron gate, including individuals in tattered soldiers' uniforms, but no matter how many guns and ammunition were wasted, the soldiers had not completely killed even a single mutant.
Bang, bang, bang!
The steam wagon rampage rammed into the monster again, but the driver of the tin bucket could not grasp the steering wheel well, and they passed by the soldiers to be rescued again and again......
"Help me!"
"Help me!!"
"Expert Cliff, is there anything you can do about what we should do with these things!"
The soldiers on the steam wagon in charge of the cover mission anxiously asked Bill, who just looked a little tired of seeing the monster flying with the vehicle, and quickly raised his hand to shoot at a forty-five degree angle into the sky.
It turned out that in a place where the soldiers did not see, a mutant who landed on all fours jumped into the air and pounced on the soldier who was still running slowly, and was about to knock him down and tear up the suit!
Smack-
The shotgun instantly shattered the mutant soldier's stomach, and dark green and dark red blood sprayed in the sky, soaking the tin bucket that had finally caught up with the receiver.
The mutant was knocked away by the force and slammed into the towering barbed wire fence, leaving an ugly and reckless mark on the rusty barbed wire.
"Hey, hey, I said friends, this show has just begun, can you stop staging the old drama of life and death before the original protagonist appears?"
"Remember our mission, our mission is not to clean up mutants, we have to seriously investigate the intelligence, idiots~"
Bill, in the tin bucket, raised his voice, looked at the frightened soldiers playfully, planted a new bullet into the shotgun, and suddenly aimed at the soldier who had just been attacked.
"I'm very dissatisfied with you, next time I waste everyone's bullets and time, I'll kill you first, haha!"
