Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Iron Gate
In the deep subway tunnel, a dazzling cold white light pierced the darkness like a black hole, accompanied by the sound of an array of cars passing through the tracks.
"Feeling better?" In the material transportation train, with the dim light of the carriage, Liliana asked Wu Fei beside her with concern.
"Yes, much better, under your care." Wu Fei, who was looking at the 'scene' flashing outside the car window, turned his head and said teasingly.
What Liliana didn't even notice was that she had become a little accustomed to Wu Fei's teasing and teasing, and after watching the scene that kept flashing outside the train, and after a moment of silence, Liliana opened her pink lips again and said, "X-5 Vault, Wokahn, after so many battles, is finally approaching. ”
"yes, but thank you Link for inadvertently opening the train's exterior armor so we could see this." Wu Fei turned his head and looked at a platform approaching outside the train and said without blame, while Link, who was controlling the train, scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
Overturned garbage bins, knocked newspaper racks, large cobwebs in corners, and large pools of blood everywhere, but it is not known whether these bloodstains are from the bites of living corpses and radiation beasts, or the military carried out a forceful sweep when the disaster occurred after it began to deny entry to survivors suspected of being carriers of the virus.
The ground of the platform still retains a large number of military-made bullet casings from the time of the disaster, and even if the yellow shells have been covered with thick dust, it still makes people wonder whether the bullets fired by these bullet casings when they are ejected from the body of the gun are aimed at living corpses or radiation beasts.
The stumps of the human body were all over the platform, some of which were clearly torn down, and on them were not only maggots feasting, but there were only bullet holes.
In addition to these 'small decorations', the piles of corpses stacked together, the obvious traces of burning flames on them, show that the previous platform was not only filled with bullets, viruses, people's screams and resentful rage, but also swept away by flames, in order to prevent the spread of the virus, if the original army could have known, and later studied by the genetic research department of the Academy of Sciences, this virus would have bred at a geometric rate in high temperatures.
And the most striking thing is that at the edge of the platform, next to a mountain of corpses, the corpse of a woman who is still holding the child in her arms until this time, there are almost no wounds on her body, only there are obvious knife wounds near her chest, and a cursory glance can tell that the internal tissues and flesh have been torn out, but it is obvious that the mother was not mistreated, as for why do you think so?
In her hand she held a rusty fruit knife, and in her other hand, in addition to holding the child, she held a piece of rotting flesh, half of which had been stuffed into the child's mouth, and the child had apparently starved to death like his mother, except that the child's corpse, fed by his mother's flesh, was in better condition than his mother's.
"That's why the captains have always refused to cooperate with the military? I think I know. Looking at the great mother who was gradually moving away, the corners of Liliana's eyes could not help but feel a little moist even though she was living in the last days and there should have been no tears to shed.
"It wasn't the army's doing, she didn't have any wounds on her body, apparently she fled there with her children after the disaster, maybe before she got there, she was full of hope that the vault would take in their mother and son, but apparently, the vault was ...... by then" Wu Fei's voice was almost emotionless except a little hoarse.
"How can you say this so calmly!?" Liliana looked at Mu Ran Wu Fei in disbelief, and there was a question and even a rebuke in her tone.
"What? Think I'm a cold monster? Think I'm dehumanized? Wu Fei still asked Liliana blankly, and called Liliana deeply felt that the man in front of her suddenly became strange.
In Liliana's memory, although she has been with Wu Fei for a short time, Wu Fei has always been a, although he is a complete madman, his strength is like a monster, and he likes to tease himself when he has nothing to do, and he can even be said to be a guy who is completely different from a gentleman, but he is still a flesh-and-blood person, he is not like other men he has met, there is only desire, desire, and ferocity in his eyes. His eyes often reveal the positive aspect of humanity that is almost non-existent in the last days, but why......
Now, he suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he looked blank and indifferent in the face of that tragic situation.
There was silence in the material transportation train, and even Link, who had been staying in front of the control console, lowered his head slightly as if he was thinking about something, and Wu Fei's reaction also made Liliana a little puzzled, could it be that the second end of the world can really make a flesh-and-blood person become a person who is indifferent to everything and only cares about his own goals?
In this regard, Liliana, who has been living in the shelter and being carefully protected by her sisters, is very incomprehensible, but thinking of Wu Fei's experience of struggling to survive in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, Liliana has some figured it out, maybe she really responded to that sentence, some things, I have experienced more, so it doesn't matter.
"We're here." Link's voice rang out with some relief.
As Link's words fell, the material transport train also came to a slight pause, and stopped steadily on a platform that was no different from the previous one.
"This is the entrance to the X-5 Vault, but it's been taken back a long time ago, give me three minutes and I can get it open again." As he spoke, Link stepped off the material transport train and, in the light of the searchlight he carried with him, searched for the location of the control panel known to both military technicians and engineers.
In order to ensure that no living corpses or other 'things' would come to 'visit' during Link's work, Wu Fei also stepped off the material transportation train.
"Wait......"
Liliana called out softly to Wu Fei.
"Huh?" Wu Fei didn't reply, and his footsteps stopped outside the yellow line of the platform.
"It wasn't right on me, I shouldn't have said that, and I didn't mean to remind you of that...... Bad stuff," Liliana was a little confused about what to say.
"Thank you Link, even if he inadvertently opened the exterior armor, but at least we have a harvest, those scenes on the platform have given us a very precious thing, memories, so that we can remember those things." When Wu Fei said the end, he was destined to linger in his mind, the scene of the end coming.
Liliana subconsciously stepped forward and hugged Wu Fei from behind, which also calmed Wu Fei's irritable emotions due to the memories.
"Alright, let's see what Link has to offer." Wu Fei said, stepping on the pool of blood that had dried up and blackened and walked towards Link, who didn't know what switch had been touched, and let a cottage oil painting on the platform shrink to the sides.
At this point, Link was shrinking the painting to the sides, revealing an orderly pair of hands flying up and down in front of a holographic console.
"You're here, God forbid, it's good that this control panel still has an emergency backup energy supply, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to enter the shelter." Link said gladly without looking back.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be somewhere, no, it's the nest of some group of living corpses or radiant beasts." Wu Fei said, as usual, with a smile as he was preparing to hunt, looking at the deep 'hole' on the wall of the platform, which obviously belonged to a living corpse or a radiant beast.
"I can't help it, there is a connection between the material transport train and the shelter, and through this connection, I learned that most of the entrances have been completely sealed due to the loss of energy supply, only here there is a weak energy signal, but it is also occasional." Link said a little helplessly, but thanks to pulling Link on the train together, otherwise, judging from Wu Fei's professional mismatch, it is estimated that he would have to find it every month.
And with Link's words, Wu Fei also found the holographic console at the entrance of the shelter, which was already a crimson with almost depleted energy at this time, not like the DQ-3 entrance level, the holographic console was always in the green with abundant energy, and the holographic console in the X-5 shelter was not even orange with insufficient energy.
A blurred face and its scarlet eyes appeared without warning and flickered in the reflection of the tiled wall.
Wu Feidang, who had "Witchcraft: Wild Intuition", turned around and vigilantly observed a dark platform.
"Liliana, go turn on the high-powered searchlights of the material transport train, and wait for my signal." Wu Fei said to Liliana unfazedly, and although Liliana was a little unsure, she also walked to the material transportation train after answering.
Wu Fei was standing behind Link who was busy with his life, his hands had already grasped the tail blade and the handle of the silver sharp knife again, and the black chain had been obediently wrapped around Wu Fei's arms, looking at the eyes of the dark platform under the habitual smile on the corner of his mouth before hunting, he looked a little expectant.
"Why does this damn thing keep disconnecting?" Even though he already knew that this was due to the fact that the energy supply was already unstable, Link still said with some depression.
"Why don't you try this?" Wu Fei said that Link was paid to himself as a reward, and the hacking tool was thrown to Link.
"No, this is my payment to you, then this is your thing." Link said and turned around to hand Wu Fei back the hacking device, obviously he was full of confidence in his professional field, and perhaps he was afraid that Wu Fei would refuse his commission because of this, but when he saw the 'guests' in front of Wu Fei.
"Well, it's good to borrow it for the time being." As he spoke, Link turned around and began to abandon repairing the console at twice as fast as before, instead using the method of forcibly deciphering the overload.
At this time, in front of Wu Fei, Liliana had already turned on the high-strength searchlight of the material transportation train.
The high-intensity searchlight that instantly makes the dark platform look like daytime also illuminates the impatient figure of the 'guests'.
The low roars of one after another, the saliva that fell on the ground covered with dust and pools of blood, and the crazy eyes that were scarlet.
From the exit at the other end of the platform, from the hole in the wall, there were all kinds of living corpses pouring out, among them the swift type had already rushed to the middle of the platform and surrounded Wu Fei, the power type crashed through all obstacles and roared and rushed, and there were also some people with special mutation abilities, swarming on the walls and ceilings.
The entire platform was suddenly flooded, but what was quite surprising was that these living corpses did not rush up in vain to tear apart the bodies of Wu Fei and Link, who were already sweating profusely.
Wu Fei was a little puzzled by this, but soon, Wu Fei thought of the command-type living corpses he had encountered when he was in the outpost, and only under the coercion of the command-type living corpses, these living corpses did not dare to act rashly.
Sure enough, amid the hungry roars of the living corpses, a living corpse with the same appearance as before, but the dried blood stains on the jaw betrayed his identity, and obviously belonged to the American, walked in front of Wu Fei.
"What? Want to go it alone? Wu Fei looked at the command-type living corpse in front of him with some teasing, and even made people feel that he didn't care about the group of corpses around him, and the seemingly unintentional glance of the material transportation train stopped Liliana's idea of breaking through.
"You...... Kill ...... Pet...... You...... The new pet ......" commanding living corpse struggles to organize the vocabulary in the mutilated memory of the dead life.
"The people at the entrance to the tunnel, you say? Oh yes, I killed them, and you're next. Wu Fei said as he pulled out the 'Soul of the Behemoth' M500, and shot it at the head of the command-type living corpse's miserable white head.
'Boom! ’
Although the command-type living corpse summoned a swift living corpse in time to block the bullet for itself, the bullet of the 'Behemoth Soul' M500 could not be blocked in this way, and the bullet fired from the large-caliber muzzle pierced the chest of the swift living corpse, and even more so that the neck of the command-type living corpse was only a small part of the bombardment, maintaining the connection between the body and the skull.
"Whew――――――!!!"
Seeing that the commander was killed in an instant, the group of living corpses fell into extreme chaos in the blink of an eye, and they began to desperately pounce on Wu Fei and Link behind Wu Fei.
"Liliana~It's time to fire~" Wu Fei said, brandishing a silver sharp knife and tail blade, and fought with the surrounding swarming group of living corpses, in which the flickering of the knife light never stopped, every time the knife light flashed, it always represented the separation of the head of a living corpse from its body, and also made the gushing blood 'whitewash' the wall of the platform again.
Liliana also suddenly understood the meaning of Wu Fei's eyes, and even turned around to control the rocket launch pad of the material transportation train.
"Crazy, crazy, he's crazy again!!" Liliana said helplessly in anxiety, isn't he afraid that if he does this, he will be blown to pieces along with him!?
But in any case, Wu Fei, who had completely annoyed the group of living corpses, just fought fiercely with the group of living corpses, but on the other hand, he did not lose his mind, pulling Link to move towards the edge of the platform.
"Wu Fei! You lunatic! I ......" Liliana's voice came through the loudspeaker of the supply train.
'Knock knock knock ......'
"Ahh
As soon as he looked up, Wu Fei had already dragged the panicked Link to the front of the material transportation train, and pointed to the group of living corpses and said something.
Liliana, who was startled by Wu Fei's haunting, directly pressed the launch button.
'Whew――――――'
'Boom――――――! ’
The last remaining rockets from the material transport train were fired into the platform, which was completely engulfed in the flames of the explosion and the powerful shock wave, in which the living corpses screamed in pain, and some of the living corpses tried to climb through the ceiling into the ventilation ducts, but before it could move, the rockets were fired into its scarlet eyes.
When everything was calm, looking at the thick layer of living corpses on the platform, Wu Fei smiled and jumped off the material transportation train.
"Wu Fei! You lunatic! I just thought ...... I thought I was ......" Liliana rushed off the train, and the little pink fist rained down on Wu Fei's chest.
"You think you're going to kill me? Hehe" Wu Fei's bad laugh made Liliana realize that she was a little out of shape, even if she pushed Wu Fei, in fact, if Wu Fei didn't do it just now, even if the final result would be the same, it would inevitably consume too much physical strength, and then be tired of dealing with the X-5 shelter full of unknowns, in this case, Wu Fei naturally thought of the defensive firepower of the material transportation train, the rocket launch pad.
"It's done! It's done! I've got the system at the entrance to the vault under control, wait, it's going to take thirty seconds for that big guy to turn it on. After the battle, Link naturally continued to perform his duties immediately, and what Link and Liliana didn't see was the soul mist around Wu Fei that was enough to be described as rich, and the fleeting surprise in Wu Fei's eyes.
"The test is over, welcome back, handsome Generalissimo Link." The electronic synthetic female voice echoed in the platform where the smoke was not over and the flames were not extinguished, but it also made Link blush, and also made Wu Fei and Liliana's shoulders shake uncontrollably.
"That...... It can be changed...... I mean...... I mean......" Link, who had apparently forgotten to change some of the 'settings' in the hacking device, already felt that he had lost face, and he covered his face with his hands and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Alright, handsome Generalissimo Link, we're going in." Wu Fei couldn't help but smile and patted Link on the shoulder, and Liliana couldn't help but smile and comforted Link.
At this time, in front of the three of them, the platform cracked straight from the center, running through the entire gap of the platform, and spread out to both sides with the sound of mechanical humming.
The steel gate made of alloy replaced the subway platform covered with blood, stumps and organs, and a huge federal coat of arms was also presented in front of the three of them, after the platform floor completely shrunk back into the wall, the national emblem from the center to the south, south, west, and northwest, in the spray of white mist, and then several alloy inner doors also contracted and unfolded one by one, until a large enough heavy truck to enter, leading to the underground passage of more than ten wide steps, and a long passage behind which there is no eye to see.
A faint light lit up, illuminating several parts of the passage.
"The defense is really enough, much thicker than the DQ-3, but so what, anyway, here we are, let's move forward." Wu Fei said, but he also said to himself in his heart, it's time to try a new one.
"You know, you don't have to go in with us." Liliana said to Link, who was still hiding her face with her hands.
"I know, but I don't want to leave all the responsibility of finding my sister to Mr. Wu Fei, I have to find it myself, whether I die in it or not, and I am her brother, the only relative in the world, I am willing to die in order to find her and protect her." Link, who has always been shy and cowardly, walked into the passage without hesitation like a real iron-blooded soldier at this time.
Liliana looked at the two men who had already walked into the passage, and she also took a deep breath, walked into the passage with some excitement, and said to herself with some excitement in her heart, Wokan, I'm here.
Ten seconds after the three entered, the passage closed slowly and unsmoothly again amid the humming of the machinery, and the platform returned to its former darkness and dead silence.
"Warning! When the backup energy is depleted, the X-5 Vault will enter a state of no energy in 5 seconds, and the relevant personnel are requested to restore the power supply as soon as possible......"
With the warning sound of an electronic synthetic female voice, Wu Fei and the three of them had no way to retreat, and the X-5 Vault was like an ancient beast that opened its world-devouring maw, smiling and welcoming the humans who had entered it again after several years of absence.
