Chapter 16: The Trap
This is obviously abnormal, you must know that the mutants love this dark and cold environment very much, according to the normal situation, there should be many mutants in this mine.
Another point, Xu Wei and his gang seemed to be very familiar with Cave 14, although they were not walking fast, and they pretended to look around as if they were coming for the first time, but some details still betrayed them.
For example, a mercenary of the Exocet team walked through a fork in the road without looking, and directly raised his foot through a pothole, while another mercenary who was also hired accidentally fell there.
Unless you already know that there is a pit there, you can pass without looking.
Just pay attention, there are many more similar details.
At that moment, Hong Yi was on guard, Xu Wei and the others must have a problem.
Moving on, there was a straight down pit in front of it, surrounded by mechanical booms, supposed to be used to transport people and ore, but it had long since been abandoned, and there was a house fenced off by an iron fence with a sign hanging on it.
Mechanical control room.
There is also a line of warning text next to it, which is nothing more than the heavy ground in the computer room, and idlers should not enter.
This is the place?
It's too easy, at least that's what Hong Yi thinks, which also makes his suspicions even greater, the mercenaries who were hired together, are still happy to be unresponsive, they may think that they can earn 1,000 Singapore dollars so easily, they are really lucky, of course, there are a few shrewd, obviously experienced old mercenaries noticed that something was wrong, they knew that there was no free lunch in this world, and the performance of the Flying Fish team was also very abnormal along the way, so they immediately became vigilant.
"Everyone, this is the target area, and the mission requires that the core components of a tractor in the machine room be brought back to the gathering place, and the work of disassembling the parts will be completed by our Flying Fish team, and you will be responsible for fortifying here." While Xu Wei was speaking, the rest of the members of the Flying Fish team had already begun to quickly open the locked iron mesh door and enter the control room.
Although those hired mercenaries were suspicious, they couldn't say anything at this time, so they could only nod and stay outside.
Seeing this, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Xu Wei's mouth, and he was the last to enter the main control room, and then closed the metal door.
In the main control room, the people of the Flying Fish team did not disassemble any mechanical parts at all, but sat behind a wall, sneering one by one, and some directly took out the cigarettes produced in the gathering place and lit them and smoked a few puffs.
"Viagra, these guys are so stupid that they didn't know they were here to die." A mercenary from the Exocet team said.
Xu Wei made a silent gesture: "Be quiet, the matter hasn't been done yet, don't let those people hear it, after a while, the Corpse King eats these guys, and their weapons and cash on their bodies will be ours, and this transaction is faster than doing tasks." ”
The other team members all smiled and nodded, obviously not the first time they had done this kind of thing.
The idle mercenaries hired outside didn't know about the conspiracy of the Flying Fish team at the moment, and they dutifully guarded outside, Hong Yi leaned against the rock wall, and the more vigilant he was in his heart.
At that moment, a strange noise suddenly came from the depths of the mine, like the sound of many chains dragging the ground.
The mercenary door was stunned for a moment, and immediately became alert, and they dispersed and raised the weapons in their hands. Because they are idle mercenaries, they use a variety of weapons, some are pistols, some are shotguns, and some are rifles, all of which are old styles, and there is no way, even mercenaries can only buy old-fashioned weapons from decades ago, such as new weapons such as plasma guns, which only residents of wealthy areas are eligible to buy.
Because the Exocet team left only two flashlights behind when they left, the area where the flashlights could not be illuminated was still dark, and the two mercenaries with flashlights could only rely on hearing to move the flashlights to see what was approaching.
And the only two mercenaries with the adjutant brain, including Hong Yi, both have a farther vision than the other mercenaries who don't have an adjutant.
At this moment, the two of them saw many walking corpse mutants crawling out of the fork in front of them and the bottomless mine.
And it's not an ordinary walking corpse, it's an evolved walking corpse mutant, this kind of mutant is basically a white star level, the speed is much faster than that of ordinary walking corpses, and it has a strong climbing ability, even if it is a cliff, it can be climbed up, not only that, some of them have mutated again, the body is huge, the skin and muscle hardness on the body are extremely strong, as if a bodybuilding champion, the skin has a toughness like polymeric rubber, and ordinary bullets can't cause damage at all.
The mercenaries called the fast, climbable walking corpse the hunter, and the larger walking corpse that was not afraid of bullets called the giant corpse.
And at this moment, there were many hunters and giant corpses pouring in from all directions, and in the hands of those boulders who were more than two meters tall, they were dragging an iron chain at least three or four meters long, and the previous sound was obviously made by these giant corpses.
Seeing this, Hong Yi and the other mercenary with the adjutant's brain were all dumbfounded, and compared to Hong Yi, the mercenary was obviously more afraid, and his legs began to tremble at this moment. He wasn't a fool, and naturally knew that these mutated walking corpses could kill all ten of them.
Run?
Impossible, the passage where they came was also crowded with hunters at the moment, numbering more than ten, and if they wanted to escape, the only result would be to be torn to pieces by those hunters.
The other mercenaries had their vision blocked, but they also knew that the situation was wrong, and at this time, the mercenaries with two flashlights swept to the area in front of them, and finally saw the hunters and the giant corpses.
At this time, everyone saw it, no matter how bold the person was, he was stunned at this time, his body was stiff and he couldn't speak, and at this moment, Hong Yi saw a very special walking corpse crawling out of the mine in the distance.
The walking corpse was dressed in a wide, tattered robe, and its body was thin, but it was more human-like when it walked, especially its eyes, which were not cloudy and blind like the other walking corpses, but crimson, as if possessing intelligence. As soon as it appeared, it was surrounded by several giant corpses and hunters, and it was like a king with its own personal guards.
Hong Yi felt very weird, he had seen a similar situation, a few days ago at the D4 supply point, the scene where the ghost mother Luo Ling led a large number of hungry ghosts was so similar to this moment.
There is no doubt that this walking corpse is not simple.
At this moment, Hong Yi saw that the walking corpse let out a wild roar, and in an instant, all the walking corpses were quiet, like a king giving orders.
The mercenaries who didn't know why were terrified, although the walking corpses around them were only twenty or thirty meters away, but no one dared to shoot, in case the shooting caused a riot of the walking corpses, the ten of them would be gnawed in the blink of an eye, and there would be no meat scraps left.
Hong Yi also knew that it was not good, he immediately checked his current state, and the experience point was less than 10 points before he could be promoted to the third level of hunter.
Hunter level 3, attributes will be improved, and you can also unlock the second skill 'domestication', which may be your only life.
At this moment, the king-like walking corpse roared again, and then the walking corpse began to attack. A giant corpse more than two meters tall roared at this moment, rushed forward, and at the same time picked up the iron chain in his hand and shook it, the iron chain directly wrapped around the legs of a mercenary, and the giant corpse pulled violently, and the mercenary screamed and was dragged into the corpse.
It was only two seconds before and after, and the speed was so fast that no other mercenary could react, and only the miserable screams of the mercenary could be heard where the flashlight could not be illuminated, but Hong Yi and the other mercenary with the adjutant's brain could see clearly, the captured mercenary was thrown directly in front of the walking corpse like a king, the latter reached out and grabbed the mercenary's head and lifted it up, opened his mouth and bit the mercenary's throat.
"Shoot, shoot!" The middle-aged mercenary immediately roared, his words fell on gasoline like a little spark, and the mercenaries who had already been frightened immediately screamed wildly and pulled the trigger.
Gunshots rang out.
The bullets were densely strafed, like raindrops, knocking several hunters to the ground, but most of them were back on their feet, the weakness of the walking corpses was in their heads, to be exact, brains, only by destroying the brains, they would be finished, otherwise even if they were pierced through the stomach and cut off their limbs, they could still maintain their combat effectiveness.
However, in this case, the mercenaries had no way to aim at all, so they could only blindly pull the trigger and run out of bullets.
Hong Yi is an exception, he has an adjutant brain, you can clearly see the surrounding environment when you turn on the night vision mode, plus weak point shooting, basically every time you shoot, you can blow up the head of a walking corpse, Hong Yi chose the target of the hunter, the reason why he didn't choose the giant corpse is because the braincase of these guys is very hard, and it is difficult for ordinary bullets to penetrate it.
The walking corpses also began to attack, their attack was simply unstoppable, and the mercenaries faced this number of walking corpses, just like a lonely boat facing a monstrous wave, as long as the waves came, they would inevitably be overturned and swallowed.
Hong Yi can only kill more walking corpses in these few seconds and gain experience points, which is also a desperate situation for Hong Yi, but if he can be promoted to hunter level 3 before the walking corpses completely rush over, there may be a glimmer of life.
As for the Exocet team hiding in the engine room, Hong Yi is now basically sure that they must be involved in this matter, but there is no time to settle accounts with them at the moment.
Pull the trigger, shoot, the cartridge case flies out, and the shot continues.
In a few seconds, Hong Yi continued to do such actions, and when he activated the weak point shooting, Hong Yi could kill a hunter walking corpse with every shot.
Experience is also accumulated quickly, and at this time, a few hunter walking corpses that fell from the top of their heads captured a few hapless mercenaries, and those who were captured were all bitten by the throat of the strange walking corpse king and sucked blood.
In the end, there were only two people left who were still shooting, one was Hong Yi, and the other was the middle-aged mercenary with the adjutant brain, and around them and above their heads, they were densely packed with walking corpses.
Boom!
A bullet pierced the head of a hunter's walking corpse a few meters away, lifting half of the mutant's head, and Hong Yi finally heard the prompt.
"Kill a Walking Corpse Evolution and gain 2 XP."
"Raise the Hunter level to level 3, increase strength by 1 point, and increase agility by 2 points."
"Unlock the 'Domestication' skill."
At the same time that Hong Yi heard this prompt, the bullet of the rifle in Hong Yi's hand also ran out, and at the same time, a hunter corpse flew down from the ceiling and rushed directly at Hong Yi.
In the end, the middle-aged mercenary watched Hong Yi being pounced on by the hunter's walking corpse, and then dragged into the darkness, and despair welled up in his heart, but at this moment he could only hold the trigger, hoping that the bullet could bring him courage, but he knew better than anyone that when the bullet ran out, his fate would be the same as that of other captured mercenaries.
