Chapter 13: The Laboratory of Revenants
"Keep going! Quick, there's got to be something like this in the back! The atmosphere was oppressive, and the line moved rapidly amid Captain Joe's chanting, and twenty-nine men lined up carefully through the second metal door that had been torn open.
Behind the metal door appeared to be the guard hall, and on the front wall hung a smashed sign, and Lin Huoxiao could only vaguely make out the three letters "ETB" written underneath. The hall was a mess, the walls were sprayed with dark brown blood, and there were several holes in the crooked couch in the corner, as if they had been stabbed by something. A line of nearly thirty people almost filled the small space.
The automatic glass door at the end of the hall had shattered, the door frame had been completely torn down, and broken glass was everywhere, creaking to walk on. Behind the automatic glass door was the revolving escalator to the second floor, the handrails, the stairs, and the walls were stained with congealed blood and deep ravines, and Captain Joe stood at the head of the line, he was a little hesitant, all this in front of him did not make him worry about what he was going to face next.
"Captain, why don't you leave?" Lin Huoxiao asked.
"Look at the signs, there should have been a fierce battle here, but...... We didn't find half a body along the way, don't you think it's strange? ”
"It's weird, there are no human corpses and no monster corpses, could it be that someone cleaned them up?"
"If it was a human being, hopefully it was a friendly army." Captain Qiao nodded, "Squads 1 and 2, each send 8 people to explore the negative second floor, and the rest are behind." ”
The team slowly advanced to the second floor. The corridor light at the turn of the staircase flickered brightly and dimly due to poor contact, and there seemed to be a ventilation system on the second floor, and from time to time there was an air flow that blew the confetti full of bloody footprints into the air. The medical stretcher, which was obviously torn apart by external forces, was crowded horizontally and vertically in the corridor on the second floor, and several soldiers struggled to move them away, and Lin Huoxiao didn't know what had happened here.
At the end of the staircase was a long, dark hallway, with four closed doors looming on either side of the corridor, and a small window above the door, from which a faint glimmer of light shimmered. Except for the slight sound of the wind and the slow and dense footsteps of everyone, the silence here was eerily silent, and Lin Huoxiao had an ominous premonition.
"Sir, will you move on?" A soldier whispered over the communicator.
Captain Qiao looked at Lin Huoxiao beside him, he was staring at the closed doors, so he said in a low voice, "Go on." The first few fighters slowly advanced, they tried to push open the first door on the right, Lin Huoxiao hurriedly stopped, "Don't open, don't open!" It's not our goal, get through here as soon as possible. ”
Click......
A thin, clockwork-like sound came from the end of the hallway of the black hole.
"Alert!" Two searchlights shone quickly in the direction of the sound, and there seemed to be nothing in the depths of the hallway except the mess that filled the floor.
"What's that sound!" Someone asked in horror.
"Like clockwork, don't be afraid, just be careful."
The wall above the crowd silently cracked a crack, revealing huge shell-like bone fragments arranged in layers and layers, one end of which was attached to the black reticulated mucosa, and the other end rubbed against each other, flashing with a sharp ghostly light.
The crowd continued unnoticed. The gap in the top of the head was like an eye, and when it closed, the wall did not see anything unusual. And when it opens again, it will reappear on the wall above everyone's heads, as if it does not have the illusion of this world, and its movement does not leave any traces on the wall. Lin Huoxiao's palms were full of sweat, and that bad premonition slowly disappeared as the team entered the negative third floor.
The entire space on the negative third floor seems to have been specially thickened. There are a few turns in the passage here, and you can't see the end at a glance. The electrical facilities seem to be in good condition, and the white wall lamps are all on. The walls are wrapped in a thick metal protective layer, and there are several huge empty boxes scattered on the ground, look at the sponge grooves inside, these boxes should be filled with weapons, I don't know what kind of weapons they are, they need such a large box to hold it. The ground was not too messy, there was no blood, the walls were well preserved, except for a few cracks where faint white smoke kept coming out, and there were no traces of battle anywhere else.
"Group 1 divided into two squads and covered the advance; 2 sets of ...... 2 sets of ...... Hey? Captain Qiao, who assigned the task, seemed to have discovered something, he immediately counted the number of people, and the original team of 29 people now has only 24 people left, including Lin Huoxiao, seven scientists and 11 fighters in group 1 are all there, except for the 5 soldiers in the 2 groups who are responsible for the back! Captain Joe urgently called the missing five people in the communicator, but there was no response.
"Do you see those warriors?" Lin Huoxiao asked anxiously.
The last few scientists on the line shook their heads blankly, looking nervous.
"Everyone be careful to be on guard in front and back, left and right, and you can't miss in any direction!" The silent loss of five excellent soldiers, Captain Joe did not dare to take it lightly.
At the end of the thickened passage was a temporarily open electronic door, and a large amount of dried blood appeared on the edge of the door, and as everyone continued to advance, there was a continuous thumping sound on both sides of the thick passage, as if something was constantly hitting the wall. The sound of crashing became louder and louder in the silent narrow space of the negative third floor, and an intermittent heart-rending roar was heard through the walls!
"All ready, the target is behind the wall, and if you find a target, you can shoot freely!"
As soon as Captain Qiao finished speaking, the wall panel located in the crack in the right front of the passage began to vibrate violently, and the original crack was torn bigger and bigger, and the huge roar was deafening. The scientists were stunned, no one knew what kind of violent creature it was, and it could have such a huge anger on humans!
More than a dozen electromagnetic rifles fired at the gap in front of the right almost at the same time, and the black thing that rushed out first was directly impacted by the fierce magnetic electronic projectile and flew up, hitting the thing that followed it fiercely.
Roar!
The fallen attackers struggled to their feet, and the crowd saw what they looked like. They were of varying heights, but they were at least two human sizes, with humanoid torsos and muscular limbs, round heads, thick necks, deep-set eyes, protruding mouths, and sharp fangs hung with thick yellow fluid.
"Oh my God! Oh my god, what's wrong with these chimpanzees! Only then did everyone realize what the attackers in front of them were, they were actually a group of chimpanzees that had fallen into a rage!
Several chimpanzees' body hair was ignited by the high heat generated by the magnetic electron bomb, and one of the largest creatures waved his arms to try to extinguish the flames, but this seemed to have no effect, it simply gave up and continued to slap its body, allowing the flames to swallow itself, it was like a demon bathed in flames, and its palms easily grabbed the bulkhead above its head and attacked the team!
The team immediately divided the fire of three electromagnetic rifles against it, and the suppression of fire in the chimpanzee colony was immediately reduced. Immediately, another strong chimpanzee struggled to leave the herd of orangutans in flames.
The third, the fourth. The four chimpanzees left the suppressed ranks, which had to allow the human suppressive fire to continue to disperse. Everyone was amazed by the intelligence of these chimpanzees, but at the same time they were amazed by their powerful vitality! What kind of demons are hidden under the bodies of these monsters dressed in the skin of orangutans, not to mention the fierce bombardment of electromagnetic rifles, normal animals are enough to kill them by burning flames!
The team retreated in the approach of the chimpanzee, "****, I'll fight with you!" "A warrior who almost collapsed suddenly threw away the firearm in his hand, and he screamed and took a small ball from his chest and threw it at the chimpanzee!
"Don't!" Captain Joe was horrified. But almost at the same time, a white eye suddenly opened at the top of the thick passage! The eyes were full of bone fragments rubbing against each other, and almost at the same time as it appeared, the huge chimpanzee like a flame demon rolled over from the wall as if it had seen a natural predator, and actually ran back with a "rolling and crawling", and several other chimpanzees that were slowly moving forward also seemed to see its existence, and they all turned around and fled in an instant!
The "magnetoelectric collapse" bomb flying in the air accurately hit the huge "eye", and the dazzling aqua blue light point lit up at the same time as the giant eye was about to close, the light spot was only a few millimeters in size, but the attraction formed tore the upper and lower eyelids of the giant eye entirely! The white bone fragments snapped with a clatter, turning into powder and flying into the points of light. The color of the light points slowly turned from blue to red, and everyone felt the suction increase dramatically, and their bodies were uncontrollably pulled into the air.
The red liquid splashed out of the giant eye, and was instantly absorbed by the red dots, the giant eyes could not be closed, there were few internal bone fragments that collapsed, and dozens of long black tendons were torn off and sucked into the red dots, it shook wildly, and the entire passage was almost trembled. Everyone was stunned by the shocking scene in front of them, this monster that absolutely did not exist on Earth was still alive after suffering such violent destructive force, and it was using its strong life force to fight against the collapse bomb! But no one will doubt the next result, this is only the initial form of the collapse bomb, and after tens of seconds, everything here will be absorbed by this bomb!
"You're crazy! Do you want to kill everyone! Fast! Fast forward to the room at the end! Captain Joe roared and kicked the bomb-dropping soldier in the ass, cursing and dragging the scientists to the room at the end. The rampaging chimpanzee colony has vanished, and they seem to be aware of the danger.
The thick wall tore into several pieces, turning into powder in mid-air and flying into the red dots. The red dots grew darker and brighter, and the violent suction pulled the giant eye off the top of the tunnel. The part that sank into the wall resembled a giant dark green rice dumpling, the size of an ordinary hovercar, triangular, and the bloated surface was covered with stripes.
The crowd entered the room at the end of the passage before the collapse bomb was about to enter its final state, the thick metal door closing with Captain Joe's "swift" manipulation, and no one noticed why he knew the security code here. The huge room had four thick metal pillars, the lights at the top began to flicker, and the electricity seemed to be malfunctioning. Lin Huoxiao looked through the window on the metal door and saw that the space outside was turning into powder, and powders of various colors were floating in the air, spinning, converging into a stream of streams that were absorbed by the blood-colored red light.
"Quick, fix yourself all, Mr. Lin, come here!"
Captain Qiao dragged Lin Huoxiao over, he fixed Lin Huoxiao with a black rope, wrapped it around his body a few times, and then fixed two more scientists, the four of them were fixed on a pillar in four directions, "The others did the same immediately!" Captain Joe shouted. The violent suction force became stronger and stronger, and everyone could clearly feel the space trembling. The thick iron door creaked and creaked as it slowly receded outward, and small pieces of the floor began to float up and drift towards the metal door with the force of the suction. The rest were scrambling to tie themselves to the pillars, while others were looking for something to hide from in the room. Several warriors tried to pull open another door in the room, but the door didn't move. The sound of invective, the roar of rage, is heard in this moment of death.
The metal door shattered, breaking into several pieces, turning into black powder as it flew outside into the Storm of Destruction. Losing the last barrier, the force of the ferocious pull instantly increased to the limit, and the powder poured into the room, spinning and grinding in the huge space. Everyone's bodies were torn out of the air, their combat uniforms and protective suits were being destroyed little by little, and screams rang out from the communicator, but soon, the communication equipment was also damaged.
Lin Huoxiao leaned his back against the pillar, and he could clearly feel that the three people who were tied to him were resisting the suction like crazy. He gripped the edge of the pillar with his hands, and he felt his body being hugged, and there was a huge pull on the man's body, and he could hear the rope creaking!
The space was filled with a loud bang, and those who could not be tied to the pillar were dragged up by an invisible force and flew into the vortex of death with a terrified roar!
"Ahh Save me! Save me!! Heart-rending cries came and went. Lin Huoxiao tried hard to support his body, and with a bang, the rope that bound him broke! The suction force almost instantly pulled him into the air, and the two scientists who were tied to him rolled, waving their limbs and flying into the powder vortex that had turned black, Lin Huoxiao looked at it in horror, the red light spots in the depths of the vortex were like the eyes of hell, and the next moment, it was himself who died!
The forest fire roars and the soul is scattered!
