Chapter 16: The Corner

Left!? Or right!?

Chu Hai, who was running wildly, had to stop and think about this problem, in front of him, two passages appeared, and the stone man behind him was chasing after him, and he had to make a choice. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I remember that the first branch route recorded in the information appeared at the time of 4,300 meters! It's only a thousand meters! How did the first fork in the road appear! Chu Hai held the information in his hand tightly, after he entered the Infinite Corridor, not only did a stone man appear that should not appear, but the path also changed, and now he couldn't believe the information in his hand!

"Bang! Boom! Bang ......"

The footsteps of the stone man sounded, and every blow of its huge body caused a strong vibration on the ground, Chu Hai gritted his teeth and looked at the two roads in front of him, left or right, he couldn't hesitate any longer.

"Left!" Chu Hai no longer hesitated, and rushed to the left passage.

Under the light of the faint light, a narrow shadow was pulled out of the path Chu Hai had chosen, and the moment Chu Hai's feet stepped on the shadow, a feeling of danger suddenly hit his heart.

A pitch-black arm stretched out from the shadow and grabbed Chu Hai's foot tightly, and Chu Hai fell to the ground defenselessly.

Quickly getting up, Chu Hai looked towards the ground, and at this time, the narrow shadow reflected by the road had disappeared.

"Shadow One!"

Chu Hai thought about it carefully, and already understood what was going on, the attack on him just now was one of the memetic derivatives in the Infinite Corridor, the Shadow One, who was able to hide in the shadows and attack the creatures that entered the Infinite Corridor by surprise.

Looking into the distance, there were already mottled black shadows looming on the road ahead, and I don't know how many shadows were hidden among them.

Bang!

Because of the attack of the shadow man, Chu Hai had been delayed for some time, and the stone man who was chasing behind him had already caught up with Chu Hai, and the stone man smashed into the ground with a punch, and then lifted a large stone from the cracked ground and threw it towards Chu Hai.

Chu Hai jumped forward, avoiding the flying stones, and then released the shadow attached to the surface of his body, and after the shadow returned to the ground, he began to desperately flee forward.

The road ahead was full of shadows, and God knew how many shadow people would lurk in the shadows, Chu Hai would rather endure the severe pain in his back than release the shadows back to the ground just to deal with the shadow ones.

Whenever the shadow man on the ground stretched out his arm and wanted to attack Chu Hai again, his shadow would block the shadow man's movements, and with the assistance of the shadow, Chu Hai quickly passed through this path full of shadows, once again throwing the stone man far away.

After advancing for a kilometer, Chu Hai, who was moving rapidly, had already felt that the shadow under his feet had completely dissipated, which meant that in a short period of time, he could no longer get the help of the shadow.

Chu Hai was already very tired, his limbs were extremely sore, and his back hurt as if it was being burned by fire, if he was caught up by the stone man or encountered a new memetic token, Chu Hai's situation would be very dangerous.

Dragging his tired body to continue to move forward, Chu Hai's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and his speed became slower and slower, looking at his embarrassed appearance, it would even make people feel that he was going to fall to the ground and not wake up in the next moment.

After running a few more steps, a team of personnel wearing standard combat uniforms appeared in Chu Hai's blurred vision, and after seeing the SCP Foundation armband on their shoulders, Chu Hai only felt that his spirit was lifted, and his running speed accelerated a lot.

"It's Chu Hai!"

It was the support team sent by Qian Wensen to the infinite corridor that came from afar, and after seeing Chu Hai covered in blood, they immediately stepped forward to support Chu Hai, and the medical staff accompanying the team also began to treat Chu Hai's wounds.

"After... In the back, the stone ... Stone Man! ”

After the medical staff briefly treated Chu Hai's back wound, they sprayed Chu Hai's wound with disinfectants to stop bleeding, and the intense pain made Chu Hai, who was a little confused, immediately sober up a lot, and he also remembered that there were terrible pursuers behind him, and immediately opened his mouth to remind this team of guards.

The murderous name of the stone man made the faces of this team change immediately, this team of about twenty people is usually responsible for regularly cleaning up the memetic derivatives in the infinite corridor, and they know the horror of the stone man very well.

"Detachment! Half of us escorted Chu Hai back, and the other half went to deal with the stone people! ”

The leader of the team quickly made a decision, they were going to divide the team, half of them held back the stone people, and the other half escorted Chu Hai back.

"You ......" Chu Hai raised his head, he naturally understood what the team leader said.

This team is the standard combat team of the SCP Foundation, judging from the data obtained by the Foundation and Chu Hai's experience, it takes at least three such teams to contain the stone people, and if you want to really deal with the stone people, there are no more than five standard teams equipped with heavy weapons, it is simply a fantasy, and the leader of the team is talking about dealing with, but in fact, it is just to be sent to death as cannon fodder!

"We are just one of the support teams, 03 Chu Hai, please rest assured, the sub-base will do its best to ensure your safety! You won't be harmed until we die! The leader of the team had already led the way to the front, and the nine people behind him quickly followed, without the slightest hesitation.

"I am Wei Kai, the leader of this combat team, and my team will be responsible for the safety of your life, and your safety can be guaranteed before all of us die."

"News has come from the base just now, support will arrive soon, and we will protect your safety at all costs! Stay alive! ”

"Execute Plan C!"

......

Chu Hai remembered the scene when he and Wei Kai fled from Xiangxiang City, Wei Kai and his team members were also willing to sacrifice in order to protect him without hesitation, these Foundation personnel all showed super high quality, and they never violated the orders of their superiors, even if they wanted to sacrifice their own lives!

"Is it worth it!?"

Chu Hai has not been in the Foundation for a long time, and although he has already identified with this organization that exists to protect humanity from memetic disasters, there are certain behaviors that he still can't agree with, such as the sacrifice of this team now.

This team of fighters were all wearing uniform combat uniforms, they were as tall as they were, and they also wore helmets on their heads, Chu Hai couldn't see their faces clearly, he didn't know their names, and he couldn't distinguish their identities, after they quickly made the decision to detach, Chu Hai couldn't help but ask, this is what he wanted to ask Wei Kai at the beginning.

Is it worth it? Is it worth sacrificing so many people for him alone?

The leader visibly hesitated, and his steps were paused, but soon, he turned around and removed his helmet, revealing his face, blonde and blue-eyed, standard Westerner.

"It's worth it."

The leader didn't say anything more, didn't even leave his name, he put on his helmet again, and the rest of the guards began to move forward.

"We can retreat together!"

Chu Hai didn't care about his injuries and said loudly to the departing guards.

Only this time they didn't pause again, but jogged forward and rushed forward, while the remaining ten people immediately began to retreat with the route Chu Haichao had come.

"They're going to die!" Chu Hai was picked up by one of the guards, and he shouted loudly, but these guards began to retreat without looking back, as if they couldn't hear him.

"They can't deal with the Stone Man! It's going to die! Chu Hai roared again.

"If you stay, you'll die." The guard with Chu Hai on his back replied.

Chu Hai was speechless for a while when he heard this, these guards were obviously not greedy for life and afraid of death, but to complete the task and take him out of the Infinite Corridor.

Chu Hai was chased by the stone people and had to flee into the inner area of the Infinite Corridor, and the guards who entered from the outermost layer of the Infinite Corridor to support him actually appeared in the area in front of him, although the emotions were a little agitated now, Chu Hai still noticed this.

"The Infinite Corridor has mutated, the internal spatial structure has undergone drastic changes, and the main and branch roads we have previously explored have been completely disrupted." The guards who retreated with Chu Hai on their backs answered Chu Hai's doubts.

"Mutation! **! Chu Hai couldn't help but scold, he naturally knew what the memetic mutation was all about, he didn't expect his luck to be so bad, the first time he encountered a rare resurrection meme, and the second time he encountered a memetic mutation! Memetic mutation is an extremely rare phenomenon, and the mutated memes will undergo a variety of possible changes in shape, scale, and characteristics, while physical memes such as the Infinite Corridor will mutate, and nine times out of ten, the morphology will change. "Put me down!" Chu Hai patted the guard's shoulder vigorously, and the guard stopped and put Chu Hai down.

Chu Hai looked ahead, and a fork in the road appeared in front of them, and this time there were three routes!

"The Infinity Corridor has mutated, and all the lines we've discovered are invalid, right?" Chu Hai asked the guard beside him.

"Yes, when we entered the Infinite Corridor, the researchers at the base had confirmed that the Infinite Corridor had mutated."

"In this way, if we move forward or backward, we may leave the Infinite Corridor or go deeper, and the Infinite Corridor has become an infinite labyrinth without the slightest regularity."

"As things stand, it's like this."

Chu Hai nodded, he stood up straight, the bandages behind him leached with traces of blood, and the gunshots rang out in the distance, and it seemed that the ten people left behind had exchanged fire with the stone man.

"If I'm not mistaken, Director Qian Wensen's level is 04!"

"Yes, Sub-Base Director, level 04."

"So, there shouldn't be any 05-level personnel among you, right?"

"No, the highest-ranking member of our squad is Captain Aix of 02, and he stayed to deal with the Stone Man......"

Chu Hai stopped advancing, he turned around and said to himself, "This is good! It's really good! I thought I wouldn't be able to use my privileges, but I didn't expect to use them so soon......"

"All personnel!"

"I am a member of the Hope Squad 03 Chu Hai, according to Article 48, I have the special authority to issue the highest level of orders in the event that I lose contact with the main base and the main base during the mission! The level of the commands I issue is automatically raised to the maximum! ”

"Now that we've lost contact with the base, and there are no 05-level personnel among you, I'm going to issue a new order!"

"Cancel the order to escort me back to the sub-base!"

"All personnel, return to the location of the stone man with me and rescue the guards in the rear!"

"Let's go back together!"
