Chapter 23: Latent
Colorful energy bombarded the swamp, swallowing and decomposing the black sludge, and the billowing mushroom cloud rose proudly, and the shockwave generated expanded and stirred outward.
The remaining doors and windows of the twelve spires were all shattered, and the vibrations of the landslide and earth cracks were transmitted from this place to the center.
The elevator shaft leading to the depths of the ground made an overwhelming sound and was forcibly ejected from its original position, making people deeply afraid that the shaft would suddenly break and collapse.
Falling in a straight line in the dark, the journey that was delayed made Yu Youzi feel like he had fallen into the abyss.
Even after witnessing Qin Ming's strength and experience, knowing that the other party was trustworthy in this regard, she was still a little weak.
Her worry didn't last long, Qin Ming threw out the chains, carried out several intermittent buffers, and finally broke out from the bottom of the shaft and successfully landed.
Qin Ming didn't relax immediately, and walked directly to the nearby control wall, he didn't think that the previous overwhelming Zerg army had come here to watch en masse.
He has hunted the Zerg for several years, and he also has some understanding of the habits of this race, and the more advanced the Zerg, the more intelligent, with a strong and clear sense of territory, and a sense of revenge.
The death of the flying snake obviously stimulated the other party, causing the other party to drive the mobilization of troops, so the next step should be to carry out a carpet search for the lily of the valley and gradually carry out the clean-up operation.
The original lily of the valley was deserted, and the noise only attracted a small swarm, but this will not be the case in the next few days.
Even if it's just killing a D-class zerg, you must be prepared to be hunted down by the army.
He faced the B-level Zerg alone, and he could only fight and retreat, and he was not sure of killing the opponent.
So even if you don't consider the huge number of low-level and middle-level zergs, coming to the two B-level can make him unable to eat and walk around, so it is not wise to take the lead now.
The backup power was turned on, and the dim light illuminated the surroundings, and Yu Youzi realized that this was an underground space.
Apparently safe for the time being, she was too embarrassed to continue hanging on to her backpack, so she deftly jumped off.
Although there is an injury on the leg, under the dual nourishment of original energy and medicine, the healing speed is not slow, but it is a little painful.
"Guide, what is this place?" She looked around curiously and patted Qin Ming next to her.
"An underground shelter in this residential area."
Qin Ming operated the control panel and re-closed the dozens of open gates in the hoistway to ensure further safety.
"Oh."
Finding that Qin Ming didn't look at it, Yu Youzi puffed out her cheeks, and when she bandaged the bandage, she specially tied a beautiful bow.
The operation interface kept flashing, poking out many information boxes, and the light of the screen reflected on Qin Ming's angular face.
Slightly moving eyes, staring at the projection of the skyscraper that was called up, was the one they were in at this time.
The protection system of the ground section shows a red bar across the board, is in an unusable state, and the projected parts are darkened one after another.
"Are those Zerg planning to raze this place?" Qin Ming thought so.
As it turned out, he was not mistaken, the Zerg army from the outside world had already begun the demolition operation, and they were pouring into the twelve buildings in dense clusters, wantonly destroying the foundation of the ground floor.
A cockroach probe looked into the elevator shaft, only to see the steel plate that had been closed, and paused to turn away.
Under the ravages of collective power, the bottom ten floors were seriously damaged, and in the end, only a few load-bearing pillars were still standing, and everything else was chewed into the stomach by the Zerg and smashed into pieces.
After completing their mission, they evacuated the scene in an orderly manner and left the periphery.
The eleven B-class zergs that blasted the insect catchers to slag scattered towards different buildings, releasing energy to attack the broken roots of the buildings.
The load-bearing columns, submerged in the energy tides, broke and melted in the violent explosion, and could no longer firmly support the buildings above.
The thousand-meter-high minaret building gradually tilted towards the nearest building like a bone card, and the building body collapsed one after another, and the boulders that hit and exploded pierced through the air, forming a catastrophic scene of destruction.
Even hundreds of meters deep underground, they were affected by the impact of the collapse, and the earth shook and the mountains shook.
The dim light flickered and then went out.
Yu Youzi instinctively stretched out her hand and grabbed the backpack behind Qin Ming, so that she had a little sense of security.
Qin Ming listened attentively to the situation around him, his back muscles tensed, and his legs that were rooted in place were also secretly accumulating strength.
Once the situation is not right, he will immediately drag Yu Youzi deeper into the escape route before leaving.
Thankfully, the worst didn't happen, and the earthquake eventually subsided, and the power transmission from the backup power supply was restored, and the flickering lights re-illuminated the surroundings.
Most of the projections on the light screen are replaced by red, and only the underground part is still yellowish, indicating that it is only damaged but can still maintain basic operation.
"The Zerg will be very active in the next few days, so let's lurk here for the time being, and then leave when it's a little safe."
Qin Ming made a decision, and at the same time took off the communicator in his ear and handed it to Yu Youzi, "You can use it to explain the situation to your captain." ”
Yu Youzi stretched out her hand to take it, and was surprised to find that this communicator had not been damaged in the previous treacherous battle.
She activated the button and tried to access the channel, but failed.
"Maybe the distance between the two sides is too far for the signal to be connected."
"Your combat team is poorly equipped."
Hearing Qin Ming's faint complaint, Yu Youzi couldn't help but peek at him a few times.
Her tactical helmet had a better communicator and a locator, but someone had just chopped it and threw it away.
Charon, the initiator, was obviously not aware of the slightest, and just nodded, "Then forget it, I'll contact them when I get back to the Oasis camp." ”
"All the valuable supplies in this vault have been removed, so there is no need to search the floors below in vain."
led Yu Youzi to the corridor marked No. 8, and the long steel-framed chairs along the way were covered with a layer of light dust.
In this quiet environment, the crisp echo can be heard with every step, which makes Yu Youzi feel a little furious.
So she approached Qin Ming nervously, but she didn't notice that the latter walked without any sound at all.
After struggling for a long time along the way, she finally whispered: "Guide, we still don't live too far these days, so that we can take care of each other so as not to encounter danger." ”
"Yes." Qin Ming bowed slightly, and there was no special reaction.
The resting place he had originally chosen was a small gymnasium in the shelter, and it was not difficult to accommodate two people in a large area, and it was the closest place to the escape passage.
Just as they were walking in the long corridor, Yang Ruolan and the three of them on the other side had also withdrawn to the outskirts of Lily of the Valley, but they were all in a low mood.
Zhou Kedi, who was covered in blood, no longer had his usual publicity, and his expression was depressed and depressed, although Yang Ruolan had not questioned the smoke bomb until now, he knew that this time the matter had become a big problem.
The White Shark combat team is two-fold, and the mortality rate is close to half, and the high-level must dig into it to the end.
He must be severely punished, and Yang Ruolan, as the captain, can't escape the relationship, and it is estimated that only Tashan can be safe.
He really didn't expect Li Lang to do the trick, but he not only played himself to death, but also harmed Yu Youzi and let them take the blame.
Yang Ruolan took the helmet in her hand and looked back at the inner city with a pale face, remorse eroded her heart.
"Team Yang, there seems to be a situation in the inner city." Tashan suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.
Hearing this, Yang Ruolan picked up the binoculars indifferently, but soon her face changed.
She saw a mushroom cloud rising behind the complex, and dense clusters of black dots moving over the vicinity, an unusual situation that undoubtedly indicated that something was wrong in the city.
"There is a large-scale Zerg commotion, Tashan, you record it, and we will evacuate after recording."
After instructing Tashan, Yang Ruolan summoned the mecha hidden more than ten kilometers away by operating the equipment on his arm.
The all-terrain chariot that had been uncamouflaged suddenly burst out of the half-buried sand, and the tail engine spewed pale blue fire, and rushed to the geographical coordinates sent by the controlling party.....
