Chapter 033. Access to the underground research institute
Slender pillars of light swept through the mouth of the collapsed tunnel, dispelling the darkness around them like a sword that dispelled darkness. Two soldiers of E Company, armed with M4A1 assault rifles, quickly ran over, their eyes were solemn, and they knelt on one knee and firmly pressed the handle of their guns against their shoulders. The already small tactical flashlight had been fixed in the card slot on the side of the rifle, and two slender pillars of light swept through the collapsed hole, and the two of them also looked at everything inside quite cautiously, and only after a while raised their hands and gestured behind them, and said, "Safety." ”
Dense footsteps echoed through the tunnel, and eight soldiers of Company E, who were also dressed in the same costume, quickly gathered together, but did not stop in front of the collapsed tunnel entrance, but quickly rushed towards the hole. They hunched over their backs, but the M4A1 assault rifle was still firmly on their shoulders, and relying on the small but extremely fast speed of the attack, they were soon all scattered through the hole, forming a semicircular firing position through the hole behind them.
The inside of the hole was a relatively empty space, but as the tactical flashlight on the side of the assault rifle turned into a pillar of light, they couldn't help but clench the M4A1 assault rifle in their hands. Because right in front of them, with the illumination of the pillar of light, rolling hills appeared in front of them, and there were even many small woods and small shrubs distributed, which looked like a real wilderness.
They cautiously swept across the hill in front of them, listening quietly, with an extremely cautious look, and no one knew if there was a terrifying deathclaw hidden inside. And if they were within range of the deathclaws, this terrifying creature could rush to them within three to five seconds, over a distance of 100 meters, and then tear them to pieces in less than three seconds. As ordinary human beings, they can't react to anything.
"Hmm, has you built an eco-friendly site directly underground? It seems that the United States Federation, which is directly facing the threat of the Soviet armored flood, has really spared no effort in the research of the biological weapon of deathclaws. ”
Liszt walked into the collapsed tunnel with his M249 light machine gun, but when his eyes swept over the hills and woods and shrubs in front of him, his face couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It is absolutely impossible for such a realistic environment to appear underneath, and there is absolutely no other possibility than artificial construction. Subconsciously raised the tactical flashlight and aimed it at the top of his head, but when he saw that the pillar of light was directly facing a height of more than twenty meters above, a pitch black appeared there, and he couldn't help but sigh slowly: "If you count this imitation ecological site, it is really a majestic building." ”
"But it seems that the distance between our underground research institute and this subway tunnel is less than half a meter."
The elder Bunard also walked in, holding an M4A1 assault rifle with a tactical flashlight mounted on the side of the gun. And he followed Liszt's gaze upwards, but there was a faint disdain on his wrinkled face. Looking down at the imitation ecological site in front of him, he spat fiercely to the side: "It seems that when the subway was built, I didn't know that there was a hidden underground research institute here. ”
"It should be an engineer's mistake." Liszt slowly turned his head to look at the collapsing entrance behind him, and a figure also poured in quickly with the slender pillars of light. More than 30 infantry of E Company in the rear also walked in with their own rifles and light machine guns, scattered on both sides of the hole, and the muzzles of the black hole were aimed at the imitation ecological field, equally cautiously guarded. But Liszt looked at the dark blast marks at the collapse, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow: "But this is not right. ”
The depth of the blast is even the width of two people standing together, with only a thin layer of concrete and rock remaining. If the outer wall of the subway tunnel or the underground research institute is built separately, as long as there is a little communication between the two sides, then there will definitely be no such embarrassing thing. And just looking at this thin layer of concrete and rock, I'm afraid that even if you don't use explosives, even if a normal person uses a hammer, you can smash a hole in less than a month!
But why is there a weak point here? It just so happens that there is an explosion in the position here? And why is the area where the explosion is located exactly the ecological area of the deathclaw experiment? Liszt's mind had already brought up countless doubts, but he did not have the slightest association without effective information. He just took a deep breath and said to the elder Bunnard, "This is not right at all, General Bunal. ”
"Conspiracy?"
The eagle's sharp eyes swept over the burning blast, and old Bunard's face was cloudy, but he didn't say anything, just spat at the side fiercely, twisting hard with his own toes. He has been honed in the army for decades, and he has also led troops into the front line of Mexican guerrillas, and some things don't even need to be brought up, and his keen sense of smell makes him sneer: "That group of politicians in the American Federation is really a puddle of dogs." ”
Old Bunar waved his hand forward, and the forty soldiers of E Company beside him immediately stood up and bent down and quickly moved forward, but their speed was not fast, and it could even be said that it was slow. But their density was spreading, like an open umbrella, with the pillar of light of the tactical flashlight as the umbrella bone, centered on Liszt and Old Bunard, spreading out towards the front and sides.
This is a standard tactical search formation, and the soldiers of each E Company can support each other at any time, whether they are gathered to form four firing positions in the front, rear, left and right, or more spread out to avoid the enemy's sneak attack, it is a good tactical formation. And they didn't just do that, each of them had an M67 time-delay anti-personnel grenade on their chest. The more powerful defensive grenade may or may not have been thrown, and even Liszt didn't point it out.
They are still heading forward, and without a map they can only rely on inertia to move straight ahead. And there are hills, woods, and shrubs along the way, and if they didn't know that it was underground, they would have thought of it as a dark night without starlight and moonlight. And Liszt looked ahead with the M249 light machine gun, his face became more and more solemn, they didn't find any trace of deathclaws, but this place gave him the feeling that it was like that small city.
Wading through a dense bush, Liszt stood on a hill with forty other soldiers of Company E. Rifles and light machine guns were already being cautiously defended in all directions, and pillars of light had already illuminated the surrounding space faintly, making it possible to see a little clearly. But the darkness was still thick with ink that seemed to be indissolvable, and Liszt turned to old Bunard and suggested, "General, what about the flares before?" We may be able to use it at this time. ”
"Here, General Bunal."
One of the soldiers guarding him immediately responded, pulling out a flare gun from his backpack behind him, and quickly reloading a flare. After getting the nod of old Bunal's approval, he glanced slightly at the top floor of more than 20 meters above him, and the hand that was originally raised was gently shifted to one side. And when he pulled the trigger hard, the familiar whistling sound and the light source like a small sun crossed the ecological area, and the originally dim space became as clear as if it was dawn.
"There, there's a door!" With this bright light source, many soldiers immediately discovered the entrance and exit of this imitation ecological area. Just a few hundred meters in front of them, at the end of the area where the flare was fired, an open steel gate appeared. It's the same as the appearance of a black hole, which makes people can't see it really, but for the dazed Liszt and old Bunnard, they have found a basic direction.
Everyone sprang into action at once, and although they had discovered their most basic orientation, the formation was still orderly, the distribution of the battle groups was equally reasonable, and their movements were quite tacit. One by one, they moved forward quickly, swift and vigilant, but just as they were about to approach the steel gate fifty meters, everyone's pace of progress stopped instantly, and the assault rifles that were tightly pressed against their shoulders were also raised in an instant, all aimed at the steel gate.
"The jackpot?"
Liszt clamped the M249 light machine gun tightly under his armpit, and looked at the steel gate, but his teeth couldn't help but clench slowly. As the pillars of light of the tactical flashlight illuminated the inside of the steel gate, burly bodies were slowly standing up inside, and the tail as thick as a tree stump also moved, making the black shadows inside more and more terrifying. And the goat's horns on the forehead, and the gray-black skin, all indicate the name of this group of creatures - deathclaws!
