January 15, 2071 at 10 a.m. -- Jurisdiction of Shariz Star 004 Base -- Underground Research Institute in Area S --

The automatic weapons in the underground research institute are in full swing with the Zerg who have entered the Zerg, and in a five-meter-wide tubular passage, two Star Orbit Commandos are running wildly with a scientist.

"Quick, run to the right...... Yes, turn left and go straight! The exit is just ahead, hurry up! ”

"Professor, don't rush me, I just felt weak. Now it's even worse, I can't use my right leg at all, and if it weren't for the artificial muscles of the armor to support me, I probably wouldn't be able to stand. Damn, the feeling of not having strength is really uncomfortable. ”

The effects of the injection germs have become more and more significant, and Dawei's hand holding the professor has begun to become unsteady, his steps are irregular, and he is not in a state. So he should buy a bottle and mess around?

"Then let's stop for a moment and wait until you come back before leaving."

Murphy felt that Davey should be given a break, but was directly vetoed by Professor Constantine.

"You can't stop, it's just a waste of time to stop, whether he takes a break or not, the germs are eating away at his body, and we have to hurry. Let me down, I can walk by myself, you carry him away, we must get to the evacuation point as soon as possible. After all...... We sacrificed everyone in the lab for the safety of the samples......"

Releasing the Professor, Davey leaned against the wall and steadied himself as he stowed the AGH rifle to the weapon rack behind his waist. Just as he was about to stabilize his body and continue to walk forward, a pain of ten thousand ants devouring his body spread from the injection site and instantly spread throughout his body.

"Shhh......hh It hurts......... Hiss-drink-"

Holding on to the wall, Dawei suddenly knelt on the ground, where he was suffering in pain. The pain made him completely incapacitated.

"Davey, how are you? Damn, Professor, he can't act. ”

Murphy hurriedly ran to Davey's side to hug him and read the data from the armored body detector, only to find that Davey's muscles all over his body could not contract properly due to pain, which was unexpected.

"That's bad news...... It seems that his body is not compatible with germs enough, and the pain period came so early. Murphy, put him on his back, we need to get out of here quickly, the last ship from Base 004 is about to set sail, if you miss it, it's a big problem. ”

"Leave it to me, Davey, and let's go."

Forcibly pulling Dawei from the ground, Murphy turned his back to him, and then with a single force, he carried Davey, who weighed more than 150 kilograms (wearing armor).

"Follow me, don't go the wrong way."

Seeing that Murphy didn't have much of a burden on his back after carrying Dawei, the professor nodded and led the way in front. Murphy, on the other hand, focused on maintaining his body's balance, after all, the more steady he walked, the less painful Davey became.

The trio continued on their way, and after walking in a circle for about three kilometers, an electronic gate with a "Under Maintenance" label blocked their way. Seeing the broken door, the professor smiled happily, leaving Murphy confused.

"Professor, you can still laugh when the door is broken?"

The professor took out his identity card, swiped it on the scanner of the electronic gate, and then said to Murphy very complacently: "If it's broken, it's broken, and I didn't plan to use this door originally." Step back a bit. ”

"Oh."

Mo Fei took two steps back, and then with a ...... "brush-pull", a telescopic ladder descended from the ceiling and landed on the ground at a 45° angle.

"Murphy, ask Davey if he can protect himself. I need your fighting power for the rest of the journey, you can't take care of him all the time. ”

Only then did Davey reluctantly raise his head and said very weakly, "There is no need for Murphy to ask......... I can still hear it...... Professor...... I can take care of myself......... You can rest assured...... Hiss--drink--"

"That's the best, you come with me." As he spoke, the professor stepped on the folding ladder and drilled into the mezzanine on the ceiling, judging from his slightly bowed posture, the mezzanine should be one meter six to one meter seven high, and ordinary humans must have no problem passing through. However, for the steel warriors who are more than two meters tall, this height is a bit of a trick.

With Davey on his back, Murphy certainly couldn't walk at that height. So, after stepping on the folding ladder to enter the mezzanine, he put Dawei down, then copied his hands under his armpits, and dragged Dawei forward backwards. After walking awkwardly through the narrow passage for a full two hundred meters, Morphy saw the end of the road through the rearview device, where Professor Constantine was sitting and smoking a cigarette.

With Davi Kao by the wall, Mo Fei walked up to the professor very unhappily and patted the professor on the shoulder, "Professor, you still have time to smoke, where are we going now?" ”

The professor pointed to the end of the passage, which seemed to have a hole of light, "Wouldn't you see such a big road?" ”

Murphy took off his helmet, then sat down, took a cigarette from the professor's jacket pocket, lit it with the igniter on his left wrist, and took a hard puff, "Who knows what's out there, I don't want to be a bird." ”

The professor frowned, didn't say anything, then took a check from his pocket and handed it to Murphy.

Taking the check, Murphy glanced at the amount on it and almost swallowed his cigarette, "What does this mean, Professor?" ”

The professor threw the burning cigarette butt to the ground, and after stomping on it with his foot, he also patted Murphy on the shoulder, "It's not interesting, if you can go back alive, this money will be enough for you to settle your family." After all, before the fighters were killed, the government did not give much subsidies. ”

Murphy silently put away the check, and the cigarette in his mouth was spit to the ground, and put on his helmet, he held out his right hand to the professor. The professor smiled and took Murphy's outstretched right hand.

"Thank you, Professor."

"Thank you too."

Letting go of Murphy's hand, the professor stood up and walked out of the passage, looking at his calm appearance, the outside should be safe as well. Murphy returned to Davey, dragged him up, and walked away.

The closer he got to the entrance of the cave, the brighter the light became, and the moment he stepped out of the passage, the dazzling sunlight almost made Professor Konstantin unable to see, and it took him a while to get used to it.

"Is it daylight already? I didn't expect the sky to clear up in Sharitz, which is a miracle. ”

Talking to himself, the professor walked through the passage into the glass-roofed hall with a spiral roadway. In the hall, several military vehicles with excellent performance are parked.

"Wow, it's amazing that the sun is out. Davey, look, the sc620 is shining on your ass. ”

Because the observation system of the combat armor has an automatic dimming function, Mo Fei was not flashed into his eyes, and before he left the passage, he saw those military vehicles, and he already had a general idea of what needed to be dealt with next. And after coming out of the passage, he was still startled by the bright sky, after all, after the overuse of nuclear bombs, Sharitz's sunny days became rare.

"Murphy, Davey, tell me, which car is better for us to take to Base 004? I think so."

At some point, Professor Konstantin got an engineering armor and unlocked it there. While dressing, he did not forget to ask Murphy and Dawei for advice, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of several cars present, which is really worthy of being a professor-level figure. However, Mo Fei didn't care about this, and his eyes were glowing as he looked at the cars in front of him.

"Gripping tigers, hunting horses, giant camels, wind foals, BMWs, Ferraris! Professor, this is your private parking space, right? ”

Indeed, the fact that such high-end vehicles are parked in places where military vehicles should be parked really makes people suspect that the parties involved are faking public affairs for personal gain. In this regard, Professor Konstantin just pouted, then put on his helmet and slowly explained: "Well, in fact, it is the car of several other doctors, and the military asked us to store a few cars here for emergency escape, and it turns out that several of them, you know, have money and willfulness. ”

"Well, I understand. Which one is the one that taught you? ”

"Mine is a hunting horse, the bulletproof armor is strengthened, the engine has been replaced, and the output power is 1.5 times that of an ordinary hunting horse."

Hearing this, Murphy drew his silenced pistol and walked over and gave the hunting horse a shot. Judging from the small bullet marks, the car's protection is indeed excellent, but it is not suitable for this escape.

"Professor, it's sunny out there now, there must be a wyvern hovering, it looks like we can't use your hunting horse, it's too heavy. Even if you put a high-powered engine on it, it's still a little less maneuverable, and we'll be spit out of the dragon if we encounter it. ”

The professor activated the observation system of the engineering armor, and many spots of light appeared on the originally transparent polymeric glass mask, and from the outside, the professor's face could no longer be seen clearly. However, the professor's slightly ridiculous voice still came out of the PA system word for word, "So you want to choose the Grappler or the Wind Pony?" However, Davey's physical condition is not good, and it is obviously not appropriate to ride the wind colt, so you finally decide to ride the Grabber. ”

Murphy put the shotgun on the weapon grabber behind his waist, and then threw AGH on the rear cargo box of the Grabber, and he himself climbed up and stood in the rear cargo box and fiddled with the 14.5mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun, "Yes, Professor, you are right. But I want to ask, do you think it's fun to steal lines? ”

After the professor finished connecting with the armor, he got used to it a little, then walked next to Davi and helped him up, "It's so-so, who told you that you kid is not straightforward enough." Come, Dawei, you sit in the passenger seat, and I'll drive the old man. Luckily, I anticipated the possibility of sitting on the Grabber, and prepared this armor, otherwise how are you going to keep me breathing on the surface of Shariz without being burned to death? ”

"Yes, you are always right, the small one is wrong, I didn't expect the hunting horse to have a confined environment, the grasping tiger is not this piece, and the small one will compensate you."

"Click-" With a pull on the bolt, Murphy put the machine gun into a combat-ready state.

After helping Davi to the passenger seat and fastening his seat belt, Professor Konstantin went around the front of the car and sat in the main driver's seat. Using the S-Class Clearance Card to activate the Grabber, the Professor drives the vehicle out of the parking space and towards the entrance to the Spiral Highway. After leaving the parking lot, they are officially out of the safe zone.

"Ah, there are no windows and no side armor, and if we are hit, we will die."

Connecting the foot armor to the electromagnet on the rear cargo box, Murphy firmly "glued" himself to it, and then he teased: "Professor, it's time to show your true skills." ”

"Ah, then the old man can only talk about juvenile madness! Let's go! ”
