Chapter Twenty-Seven: Life Hangs by a Thread
December 17, 2070 21:23 __Shariz Star__About 400 meters underground in the Great Rift Valley of the Centipede__Zerg Passage__
"Da Da Da-" once again killed the big dog that suddenly rushed out, Mark and the others were about to go crazy, and there were sporadic zergs rushing out along the way, if it weren't for the tacit understanding of several people, someone would have been injured or even killed on the spot. At one corner, Mark and the others had to stop, because out of the corner was a hall where the Zerg had gathered, and at least a thousand Zerg had gathered here, and the number was still increasing.
"No, we can't rush out, we're going to die if we rush out here." With his back against the wall, Mark gasped for breath, he was too tired to kill all the way, not only physically, but also psychologically. Just imagine, in the dark underground passage, you can only rely on night vision devices and biosource detectors to observe the surroundings, and you have to be on guard against the surprise attack of the Zerg at any time, how much it tests your psychological quality. "So what do you say?" "Didn't we just pass through a fork in the road, go over the other road and see if there is a way out." "That's all there is to it." That's when the unexpected happened.
"Shhh "I'll do it! How can you run out! "When the stabbing snake was stunned, Mark and El stepped forward with their left feet at the same time, bowed forward and stabbed forward, and two AGH12 bayonets stabbed into the left and right eyes of the stinging snake respectively." Hiss-" I didn't expect the stinging snake to let out a miserable scream before it died, and all the zerg in the hall looked here. "Why are you still stunned? Run! Mark and El drew their bayonets and launched an attack on the rushing Zerg, covering the retreat of the remaining four.
"Da-da-da-" "El, grenade! "Go!" Mark continued to strafe, and El pulled a grenade from his waist and threw it at the rushing swarm. "Let's go!" "Boom-" As the two turned to flee, the grenade that landed at the entrance of the cave exploded, and a large number of Zerg rushing from the hall were blown back, and the Zerg's offensive slowed down. "Mark! How's it going? James' inquiry came over the radio. It's bad, there are too many zergs, have you been to the fork hole? "We've arrived, are we going to wait for you?" "No, you go first, we'll catch up right away." "Be careful." "Roger."
The floor of the cave was covered with a fungus blanket, and Mark and El couldn't move faster than the Zerg, and they saw that the Zerg behind them were about to catch up, but they were still two hundred meters away from the fork. "El, how many grenades do you have?" "Two, what about you?" "I've got three more, damn it, it's not going to be easy. I'll go! Mark turned and threw a grenade, which he shot before it hit the ground. Boom-"The explosion killed and injured a lot of Zerg, and more importantly, the shock wave from the explosion slowed down the pace of the Zerg's pursuit, and Mark and El gained a little more precious time.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Finally, before the Zerg caught up, the two ran to the mouth of the fork hole, which was good news, but the bad news was that the Zerg on the other side of the hive also caught up. Running into the fork in the hole, El turned around and attacked the Zerg. "Go!" El threw the last two grenades out, and with a loud bang, the mouth of the fork was blown up, temporarily blocking the pursuing Zerg.
Slumped on the floor, Mark finally felt a sigh of relief. "It's dangerous, are you okay?" "It's okay...... It's just that my back hurts a little. "Huh? Let me see. With that, Mark walked up behind El. I don't know if I don't know this, but I was shocked when I saw it, El was actually full of spinal cord stinging bullets on his back! "Aren't you in pain?!" "It really doesn't feel much, most of it should just be through the outer armor." "Don't move, I'll pull it out for you." "Wait, do you have iron? If you don't, don't pull it out, otherwise I won't die in the hands of the Zerg, and I will be aggrieved in your hands. "Hmm...... Do you think I'm that Watts? Sit down for me! I'll pull it. "Ah!!h Only El's screams echoed through the cavern......
By this time, Watts and his party had run far, far away, stopping at a ninety-degree corner to rest, waiting for Mark and El to break off. Watts kept looking into the depths of the cave and asked anxiously, "Mark, why haven't they caught up yet?" There is no signal on the radio, is it ...... Could it be ......" gave Watts a hard look, and James scolded: "Could it be that you are the second master! Mark they'll be fine, wait for them with peace of mind. "Hmm......" Suddenly, the cry of the zerg came from the cave in front of them, and the nerves of the four of Watts who had just relaxed suddenly tensed again. Looking at the growing number of small red dots on the biomorph detector, James twitched. "It's a big problem now......"
Five minutes later, Mark and his wife arrived around the corner......
"Watts? Are you in the neighborhood? James? Cal? Stephen? Please answer when you receive, please answer when you receive it! Damn, where did they go? "Holding El who was in pain in his back, the speed of Mark and the two of them dropped a lot, and when they arrived here, they only saw Zerg corpses all over the ground." Mark, we're late, they've already had an encounter with the Zerg. But without the bodies, they may still be alive. Picking up a bullet casing from the ground and observing it, Mark said in a deep voice: "This bullet still has residual warmth, Watts, they shouldn't have gone far, let's go, let's catch up." "Hmm." As soon as the two of them took a few steps, the source detector sounded the alarm.
"The Zerg is here again, can you still fight?" "There are so many of them, and it won't work if you don't fight. Mark, I didn't expect us to die in such a hellish place, I'm really unwilling. "Your sister, who said we must die? Fighting the Zerg is to learn subtraction, kill one and one less, until it reaches zero. El, we're on! "Let go of El, Mark raised the agh12 in his hand, and El also raised the gun strongly, the two of them are going to fight to the death." Whew-" The Zerg roared and rushed out of the corner, but the big dog's counter-joint hurt them, and they couldn't control their speed and rushed over their heads. Before the Zerg could turn around, Mark and El attacked.
"Da Da Da-" The two agh12 spitted tongues of fire, rushed over, and the big dog was all shot sideways, and fell on the way to the charge in a suffocated state. "37-20-8-Click-" There was no time to replace the normal magazine, Mark directly linked the armor-piercing magazine and continued to strafe. "Bang bang bang-" The powerful penetration of the armor-piercing bullet can even kill three big dogs with a single shot, and the corners are filled with the corpses of big dogs for a while.
"Click-" AGH12 made a hollow sound, and the magazine emptied. "Er, you change the magazine, I'll cover you!" "Mark!" Regardless of whether Eltong disagreed, Mark grabbed his bayonet and rushed out, meeting the big dog that pounced. "Drink-" Bow stride, Mark directly hit a big dog with his left shoulder, knocking it upside down and flying out, the single strength of the combat armor is to take advantage of it. Lunging two steps, Mark stabbed the big dog with AGH12. "Bang-" The bayonet was thrust through the big dog's neck, and dark red blood spurted out. Mark drew his bayonet and smashed the butt of his rifle into a large dog striking from the side, followed by a front stab into the mouth of a nest bug that opened its mouth to bite it. "Damn, stuck!" There was no time to return the knife, and a few big dogs came up from different angles. "Mark get down!" At this critical juncture, Mark chose to believe El and fell to the ground at once.
"Da-da-da-" After a burst of strafing, the rushing Zerg was killed, and Mark took the opportunity to pull out AGH12 from the nest bug's mouth. "Mark be careful!" El suddenly roared, and once again emptied the magazine, allowing him to watch the Zerg pounce on Mark but could not do anything. Mark, who received the reminder, rolled a donkey and hid to the side, and stabbed the big dog in the abdomen with a shot in the air. "Whew-" The big dog who was stabbed struggled violently, Mark couldn't catch AGH12, and was broken free by the big dog, and the seriously injured big dog smashed on Mark at once. Seeing that the big dogs around him were rushing towards him, Mark pulled out his grenade and threw it into the air, and the miniature helmet gun mounted on the left side of the helmet fired at the grenade. "El get down!" "Bang-" "Boom-" After a loud bang, El who was lifted out of the way by the shock wave helped AGH12 to get up from the ground with difficulty, looked at the cave filled with gunsmoke, and lost his mind for a while.
"Mark!" Picking up AGH12 that had fallen aside, El rushed into the smoke. The grenade just now killed most of the zerg, and the rest were either injured or disabled, so El didn't get any attack. "Mark! Mark! Where are you? Answer quickly! "As far as he could remember, El came to where Mark had been lying before, but there was only a large pile of burnt corpses that had been blown up." Oh-no-no! Mark! You bastard! How can you be a hero! You shouldn't die here! Oh-no-" Falling to his knees, El wailed and cried out in grief, beating the corpses incessantly, but El suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"What's going on?" Just as Elle was confused, a voice came over the radio. "Whew-Wow-Wow-Wow-Wow-Y-Wow-Y-Ey, don't fuck me-Wow-Wow-Get me out, I'm surrounded by worm corpses, and I can't get up." "Mark? Mark are you still alive!? "Nonsense! Ahem cough - can I die if I don't live? Hurry up, I'm lying in pain, my leg armor seems to have been pierced, damn it. "Ugh...... Wait, I'll get you out. As he spoke, El picked up the AGH12 with a bayonet on the side, and used the bayonet to pick up the Zerg corpses pressed on Mark's body one by one.
Although he was uncomfortable to death, Mark's attitude remained optimistic, remembering that El had actually cried earlier, Mark couldn't help laughing. "Hahaha!" "Mark, what are you laughing at?" "You big man actually cried, it's so unseemly, if you ......" "Shut up! Lao Tzu was moved by you, no! "Hehe, I'm relieved that this grenade wasn't thrown in vain." Finally getting rid of the worm corpse covering Mark, El dragged Mark up. "Mark, the Zerg will catch up again soon, and we'll have to run away." "Don't worry, I'll look at my legs first. Ouch hey! "What's wrong?" "Scared me, it turned out that shrunnel only hit the armor from the side, it's no big deal, let's run." "I was just taken aback, you are okay with being bombed so badly, right?" "You can still walk, don't help me, why are they both injured now, and it's even worse if you accidentally touch it." "Uh......" And just like that, the two wounded limped deeper into the cavern, desperate for survival......
