Chapter 35: The Road to Survival
In the gloomy passage, eight people advanced one after the other.
Four of them are distributed in an arc-shaped array, with two in the middle, slightly forward, and the other two on the left and on the right. These four men were at the forefront.
And about two steps apart, the other four people are behind the palace. In the same formation, the two are in the middle, slightly behind, while the other two cover the flanks.
The eight-man advance formation looks like two symmetrical arcs, and this looks a lot like an eye.
The Chinese military called it the "Shrinking Pupil Battle Formation", and this formation is very suitable for small squads. It is very effective in defending and exploring unknown territory. In the event of a special situation, it can be detected immediately and reacted to in a timely manner.
"Something doesn't seem right here." Captain Mika used a tactical flashlight to scan the surroundings constantly, but he couldn't find anything.
There were no corpses, no severed limbs, no acid, no blood, not even a strange smell.
"yes, it's too quiet here." Ovsky bent slightly, his eyes searching around, and nodded yes.
It was quiet, but it was so quiet that they could hear their own breathing clearly, which was why it seemed so weird.
Not to mention the traces of those monsters, there is not even the sound of electric sparks "stabbing" here.
It's weird.
Is this the calm before the storm?
Ike held his breath as he suddenly had a sense of imminent danger.
That's not good.
"Slow down your pace, scout your surroundings with your flashlight, and be ready to shoot." Mi Xiang gave the order in a deep voice.
All seven nodded, and did as he was told. In front of this captain, the recruits did not have the slightest feeling of resistance, not to mention that the soldiers had to obey orders as their duty.
The slight sound of their footsteps on the ground echoed through the space that had been sealed off by unknown elements.
However, after advancing for a long time, they did not find any unexpected danger.
Finally, they made their way to the main escape hatch.
"Well, this should be the shortcut to escape, we need to determine the location of the door first." The Blue Guards fumbled around the walls. Due to the crash of the battleship, many of the walls have become blurred, and his optical brain with relevant coordinates has also been broken, so he still has to find the location of the door.
"You really don't have a memory." Another Blue Guard counted him down, "Have you forgotten what Captain Snia said, between three-tenths and four-tenths between the corner of the wall and the escape pod." As he spoke, he looked at the distance and finally found the location of the door, "It should be here." ”
He shone his flashlight at the door, which looked no different from the metal walls of the rest of the world.
The blue guard couldn't help but be stunned: "Hey, how do you open it?" ”
"Get out of the way." Captain Mixiang's cold voice came.
"Yes." The two Blue Guards stepped back slightly, realizing that they had committed another taboo just now.
I saw Mi Xiang take out a thumb-thick finger tiger from his pocket, and then put it on the little finger of his left hand. This made the finger tiger a little bigger, so he gently buttoned it, and the shrunken finger tiger was put on his little finger.
Two Blue Guards leaned against the door, one left and one right, ready to deal with the unexpected situation after the door opened. And the recruits are responsible for the security behind them.
Captain Mi Xiang pressed the button on the finger tiger, but he heard a "drip" sound, and a red laser shot out from the finger tiger.
"Certified." There was a burst of synthesized electronic sounds, and the door to the emergency escape finally opened.
But it was the emergency escape door, including the key to open the door, which had undergone special protection treatment. That's why their electronic systems weren't destroyed in the EMP field where the battleship crashed.
"Alright, let's all go in." Mika waved her hand backwards, motioning for everyone to follow.
The escape passage was five meters wide, so the eight people once again maintained the "Shrinking Pupil Battle Formation". Among them, Captain Mixiang, a Blue Guard, Ike, and Ovsky walked in the front, and the others were in charge of the rear of the hall.
They walked like this for dozens of meters, and nothing special happened during this time.
Soon, however, Ike sensed something was wrong.
A faint smell of blood.
Even Captain Mika didn't react, his senses were very sensitive.
And in the horizon of Ike thermal imaging, there seemed to be something piled up dozens of meters away.
He immediately reported the situation to Mi Xiang.
"Really?" Mika looked at Ike with some suspicion, he hadn't noticed any of this himself. And in such a dark environment, the flashlight works within ten meters at most, and how does he see a place dozens of meters away.
However, seeing Ike's calm and affirmative eyes, Mi Xiang immediately chose to believe.
But even if they know that these things are wrong, what is the use, the road still has to be taken, and they can only be more careful.
The eight of them cautiously walked a distance of several tens of meters again, and there were still no accidents during this period.
The smell of blood, which is getting stronger and stronger, keeps coming, and with the extremely quiet environment, it gives people a sense of foreboding.
This is already the intersection of the road with another escape route.
"What's that?" The blue guards shone the flashlight, and there was a huge figure more than ten meters away. He couldn't help but look nervous, and the sand eagle in his hand was aimed there, and he was about to shoot.
However, a strong hand pressed down on the arm that was carrying the gun.
"Don't shoot." Ike looked at the Blue Guard with a blank face, "That's a pile of corpses. ”
"Pile of corpses." Captain Mika's face showed a solemnity, and he motioned for everyone not to shoot.
"Let's look around and see if there's any situation."
Everyone shone their flashlights in all directions, very cautiously.
"Nope."
"Okay, then let's go quietly, remember that the movement must be slow and slow."
The eight of them continued to maintain the "Shrinking Pupil Battle Formation" and came to a few meters in front of the pile of corpses.
"Oh my gosh." Vasily sighed slightly, but in an instant covered his mouth to prevent it from being too loud.
"These are supposed to be crew maintenance personnel, and they are still dead after all." The Blue Guard explained, "They should have entered the escape route before the crash, and wanted to use the backup fighter plane in the escape route to escape the battleship." However, before they could get there, the battleship fell. ”
"Be vigilant, there must be danger around here." Captain Mika looked around, but found nothing, "These corpses have tooth marks on them. ”
Apparently, they were killed by the Scythe. However, the corpses were piled up here, but there was no loss, no missing arms or legs, could it be that they were hoarded here as rations?
Everyone's hearts are tight.
At this moment, three orange figures suddenly appeared in Ike's thermal imaging vision.
No, three hideous heads, to be exact.
Much like the pelvic head of a normal scythe, except that the teeth around it are longer and sharper.
"They've appeared, ready for battle." Ike's voice was low, but it was heard by everyone present.
No one questioned his words, everyone raised their guns in their hands, and at the moment they had no choice.
"Boom" seems to be the sound of a rope breaking through the air.
"Ahh
Zhen Wuyu shot back in horror, but the thing around his waist that wrapped himself up did not let go at all.
She pressed her legs the ground as she looked at Ike for help.
Somehow, at this moment, this male recruit has become the most trusted person in her heart. She believes that Ike will be able to save herself.
"Whoosh", but at this time, she suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
