Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Enemy Reappears

It's hard to describe how we feel now, but we still have a hope in our hearts that we can always find or be found by these people wherever they live. It turns out that this idea is nothing more than wishful thinking on our part, and all of them died here.

"Talia, are you alright?" Chen Zaihai immediately turned back to her and asked. From my point of view, I couldn't see Taria's reaction, and she didn't react after waiting for a long time. What impressed me the most was the waiting time, and she said that she had been mentally prepared for it all the way. But now that this situation has really happened, none of us dare to pack the ticket, and she will not waver in any way.

After a few minutes, Talia slowly walked from behind and crouched down beside me. She began to examine the faces of the dead one by one, including those that had begun to decay.

Neither Chen Zaihai nor I stopped her, I stood up and walked to Chen Zaihai's side, and looked at Talia silently with him. I'd love to help her, but I don't know anyone from the task force.

"That's right, they're supposed to be all the rest of the task force." Talia said as she walked back to us after the inspection. "Sixteen in all, there can't be any other survivors."

The tone felt normal, there was no vibrato, and the footsteps were steady, maybe we were really too worried. Talia was really prepared for this kind of ending, just as she said she had said.

"Are you okay with Talia?" Chen Zaihai spoke out at this time. "Don't be too sad, we've done everything we can. The task force will become like this, and no one can rely on it. ”

"It's kind of weird that these people are going to all die here." I looked at the dead people all over the ground, and my heart was full of questions. "It's not right to say that they were hit by this poison gas, we were hit as soon as we climbed up. These people don't have gas masks at all, and it is impossible for them to stick here. ”

I went on to say, so this strange poison gas shouldn't have been here long ago, at least not when they came here. Then, without knowing what was going on, the poison gas slowly appeared, and the task force was completely defenseless and explained to it.

"You're right, many of them do look like they've been poisoned." Talia said. "But that's not all, I've just checked. At least two or three of them were dead before they came here. ”

Chen Zaihai also ran to check on the people she was talking about, and when he came back, he said two words, gunshot wounds. I was blindfolded all at once, gunshot wound? How many of these people were shot and killed?

"Lao Su, I look at the situation a little badly. We'd better not go any further. Chen Zaihai proposed. Do you remember the communications squad that was sent out by the attacking task force in the first place? ”

When I think about it, I think it's the same, on the ground, after I first separated from Chen Zaihai and them, they were also attacked, and one of the engineers even died to protect Talia. We've been confronted by the environment itself, and even then all of us are a little overwhelmed, almost completely ignoring the fact that there are third parties here.

"What do you think, Talia? Is it necessary for us to go to that mining site? I asked.

"Now that we've found the task force, there's no need for us to continue adventuring." She decided right away. "These gunshot wounds are definitely not simple, they were attacked by someone, and they ended up running here in desperation. Let's go back early and report to my father, I hope it's not too late."

Now that we've decided, we're going to get started. We're sorry for the task force, but we can't afford to take their bodies away. And there are so many things in this place that are difficult to explain, I don't want to stay for a moment. The three of them immediately packed up their things and ran back the way they came.

After a while, we ran back to the hallway full of emergency lights, and the dark red light shining on our gas masks looked a little weird. Luckily, there were no incidents here, and the gunshot wounds were impossible to care about, and I'm really afraid that the people who fired the shots are still around here.

First of all, it is certain that they must know very well about the structure of this place, and these poisonous gases that make people weak and confused are eighty percent of what they use. We've already examined the dead bodies, and from the spots, it's been at least a week old. All useful equipment was gone, and I didn't find any backpacks or weapons. Eighty percent were taken by those who fired the shots.

A week ago, we were probably in the tunnels fighting the lice women, who had already done everything here, and the imagination sent a chill down my spine. Along the way, I was afraid that we were also lured here by them unconsciously.

Even if we get to this corridor, we don't dare to take it lightly, no one knows what those people are doing this week, and running back to Doivan's camp in one breath is the safest way. The three of us ran all the way with a grunt, and finally saw the black power distribution station. Without a word of nonsense, we climbed up as fast as we could, and ran to the first floor two or three times.

The iron ladder that connected to the stagnant water path was still there unharmed, and I was afraid that this thing would suddenly disappear, and it was not impossible for such a thing to happen in this place. The three of them crawled back to the passage in one breath to settle down a little. At least you don't have to worry about that strange poison gas anymore.

I took off the gas mask that was stuffed on my head, and this action threw out a handful of sweat. Chen Zaihai and the others followed suit, took off their gas masks and took them back into their bags.

"You should be able to stay out of danger here." Talia said as she wiped her sweat from her head. "It's all watery here, so it's better to walk slowly, and if you hurt yourself by running around, it will become slower."

Chen Zaihai and I also nodded, saying that we couldn't run anymore. It was not realistic to keep running through the water with the same intensity, so the three of them ran at full speed and prepared to return to the power distribution station in the workshop. Listening to the sound of the rushing water, we discussed.

Speaking of which, Chen Zaihai said that he had deliberately examined those gunshot wounds just now, and like the communications squad, they were all shot in from behind, and this gratifying eighty percent was also forced there after being attacked suddenly. Then the people who shot them used the poison gas there to poison them all. After that, I don't know what method they used, maybe the gas was gone, or maybe it was the gas masks, anyway, they took all the equipment of the task force.

Talia asks if you think these people are the same people as the ones who put the chains on the other side of the power plant? He replied that it was hard to say to himself, at least he could be sure that they were the same group as the sneak attack communication group and ours, and the way of doing things was exactly the same. It's hard for him to say anything else, after all, Lao Su also said that he saw Lin Yiru and Nie Chuanhui's kid in that canyon. There are several waves of people in this place.

As I walked, I said that in short, whether it is a Jibo person, there is at least one kind of person who is very unfriendly to us, or the kind of relationship that kills us when we meet. It's enough to know this, we must go back and tell Ivan the news that those people are also around here, he may not know anything, and it will be too unjust to suffer a secret loss at that time.

Nodding his head and glancing at his watch, the camp was almost in working mode at this rate, and at this rate we would probably be back in less than two hours. In retrospect, I'm thankful more than once that there wasn't such a thing as a surveillance camera in the years of World War II, or those guys would have just been staring at the screen all the time, and we wouldn't even know how we died.

After walking for less than an hour, we were able to leave the waterlogged passage smoothly and return to the workshop. This place is no different from when we came. We didn't care, our hearts were all over the camp. The three of them casually threw off the water on their bodies, wrung out their trouser legs, and hurried on.

A lot of things, you feel like it's changed, but it's actually just a different look, and there are some things that you don't change at all, but you really change. For a long time after that, I regarded this sentence as the basis motto in my life, and I flogged myself all the time.

Just like what Lin Yiru and I said in Lin Hai back then. Nothing ends, and this is not even the beginning of the end, at most it can only be regarded as the end of the beginning. Things can never only look at their appearance, but also the unexpected consequences that their roots hide. Even when you think that you have learned the so-called truth, after a long time, you will suddenly find that what you think is the truth is actually just a layer of the real truth.

"You say the task force all died at that mining site?" When we returned to the camp to see Ivan, he said this to us. "Have you been to that place yet?"

What does he mean by making the three of us stupid? Could it be that Ivan already knew what was going on at that mining site? Then the next passage of his sentence made us realize how meaningless everything we had done in one night.

"I won't hold you accountable for your private actions first, there will be contact from above, and the first batch of reinforcements will come down after that. Don't think about that place, I already knew the task force was all dead there. After that, we still have a lot of tasks, and we don't have time to pay attention to their sacrifices. If you want justice for them, give me the rest of the task. Not allowing us to ask anything, Ivan left his tent at a brisk pace.
