After listening to Chen Zaihai's words, I immediately realized that it was not my miner's lamp that had poor contact. I don't know when there was an extra layer of white mist here.

My first feeling was that the water vapor was coming up, and I was already nervous from being scared by the lice, and I was like running backwards. In a panic, he was stopped by Talia.

"Don't panic, if this is really that kind of steam, you will run away long ago." "It's something else. ”

Hearing her say this, I slowly calmed down. Wiping the sweat from my head with my sleeve, I subconsciously wanted to look at the watch on my wrist. But it's long gone, and since we found the power plant, things have been happening one after another, and I don't have much time to wind it up.

I hung my wrist as if I had given up, and now even knowing the time would not help. I felt that I was too embarrassed just now, and I shouldn't have behaved so badly in front of a female streamer in Talia anyway.

"By the way, why did all those bugs run away?" Chen Zaihai put his knife into the sheath and beckoned the surviving engineers to gather. "I thought that's all we had to say here."

The engineers who came back were in twos and threes, and I knew at a glance that there were a lot of people missing. The expressions of those who came back were also extremely tired, but the joy of the rest of their lives could be seen on everyone's faces. Not coming back, I think I could guess their end, and I walked over and comforted them briefly.

I really can't say anything uplifting at such times, and those comforting words I myself find extremely boring. I suddenly hated myself for being like this, knowing that things were not as optimistic as I said they were, but I still wanted to deceive these children.

This guilt has been with me for almost my entire life

"Maybe those insects will scare away after biting us a few times and finding it unpalatable." I quipped.

"It's unpalatable and you're unpalatable, I've been bitten several times." Chen Zaihai said stupidly.

At this time, Talia came over and said, "Stop talking nonsense, this fog is weird. Let's find a place to hide. ”

I think that's right, those lice retreat was too sudden. The fog also came silently, as if it were coming directly from all around. Now the fog is not very thick, and it is white and spread near our ankles. Walk around casually, the fog surges, and it feels like standing in the clouds and thinking about it.

Talia was right. Those bugs retreated strangely, so let's be careful. I crouched down slowly, trying to get a good look at the fog beneath my feet, "It always felt like they knew something was coming, and they were hiding from it." ”

After looking at it for a while, my heart suddenly tightened, and my heart said that this was what happened. My hand passed through the layer of mist, stirring for a moment. Illuminated by the miner's light, I noticed that the fog did not seem to be composed of some kind of water vapor. They are more granular and look like dust.

I still have an impression of this thing, and I've seen something similar near the black signal tower, but this time the "fog" was thicker. But it's still very likely that it's poisonous, and I lost consciousness in this strange "fog" in the first place.

And the retreat of those bugs deepened my suspicion.

"Hurry up and find a gas mask, bring something like a three-proof suit." I stood up and hurriedly said to everyone, "The last time I was unconscious at the signal tower, maybe this thing was the thing." ”

Chen Zaihai and the others immediately took action as soon as they heard it, and our equipment was all classified and let everyone carry it. For a while, we couldn't find the things we found in that power distribution station before. As we rummaged through the equipment of everyone present, I realized that there were no people with gas masks here. They must have all died in the battle just now

What we were going to do was obvious, and everybody's faces were horrible. A strong sense of rejection came over me, and I really didn't want to do that if I could. But this has to be done if we want to live. In the end, Chen Zaihai was the first to act

I really don't want to go on with what happened next, it was the most painful time of our lives for all of us who survived. We need to recover all the supplies we can from the corpses of the fallen engineers.

It's definitely a very painful process, and you can't imagine what it would be like to be alive and kicking in front of you a second ago. That kind of misery can't be described in words, a broken body, a desperate face, I really don't dare to look into their eyes.

Unwillingness, pain, despair, I don't know how to describe the feeling of their death. Time passed in a blur, and I didn't even know how I managed to get those supplies back. Finally, all of us saluted the fallen engineers

Like the Task Force we found in the Vault before, we don't have the ability to take them out right now. Chen dust, dust to earth, they can only sleep forever in this strange tunnel. I know it's unfair to them, but there were so many things to hide in those days, and they were only a small part of it.

I can't promise them that I'll come back to pick them up, I'm a weak person and I'm not sure I'll come back after I leave here. I also think I'm cold-blooded to do this, but it's just the instinct of raw rice, I just want to live

At the request of the remaining engineers, the three of us put on the only three sets of three-defense uniforms. How did they bring the gas masks we recycled. Of the three of us, Chen Zaihai was the only one who walked through this thing, and Talia and I, with the help of the engineers, had to work hard to put on this heavy thing.

The asbestos-layered suit was like a suit of armor, and it seriously hampered my movements. Now I have to admire Chen Zaihai, at that time he was still able to wear this thing and run on par with me.

By the time we were all dressed, the white mist had thickened and reached our waists.

"This fog may be poisonous in it, and I don't know how to get hit in the first place." My voice was a little muffled through the gas mask of the three-defense suit, "You little soldiers, if you feel uncomfortable, tell us immediately." I don't know if this toxicity will penetrate the skin. ”

After such a long time, we all know that it is not clear to the engineering troops. They don't care at all, whether we're really the chief or not. The order they get is to protect our safety, then they will really protect us at all costs, this is the military of that era. No matter how guilty we feel, they don't think about themselves.

Those few soldiers ordered the store, and if they can survive until now, I can also see that several of them have a strong psychological tolerance. I've been through so much and still be able to stay normal, and if I can, I'd like to get them all out alive.

If this mission can be successfully completed, each of them will get at least one first-class merit. Actually, it's still a far cry from what they paid, but that's the only thing I can say to comfort them. These little soldiers are so simple, for them to make achievements, it is the greatest goal in life.

Seeing their innocent eyes, I thought of Nie Chuanhui again. Many of these soldiers ultimately dream of being a deputy squad leader, and finally be able to return to their hometown to marry a daughter-in-law after being discharged from the army. These ideas may seem ridiculous to us now, but for these children who have never seen the world, that's everything.

"It's okay to stay here all the time, I think we'd better go back to that power distribution station." Chen Zaihai proposed, "Everyone is tired, so it's good to find a place to sit well." ”

"Chen Zaihai is right, we don't know the specific composition of this fog, let alone how long this tunnel is." Talia agreed, "It's better to take a break." ”

Naturally, I don't have any opinions, I seem to be the worst in physical fitness of all people, and after this incident, I even think that Talia is better than me. It's a shameful thing to do, and I'm almost exhausted to be honest. But the dignity of being a man doesn't allow me to talk nonsense before Talia brings it up.

Once again, we redistributed the equipment on our bodies, and due to the large number of people, the weight of each person was further increased.

The weight of those dozens of kilograms is very terrible now, this is not like you go to a camp, we are not walking the way for people to walk, if it weren't for the fact that when we joined the army, the training method of the instructor was very inhumane, and I would have been directly pressed to the ground now.

As soon as we were done, we moved to the dark shelter. The others are easier to say, and climbing the stairs in this three-defense suit really killed me. If it weren't for Chen Zaihai pulling me all the time, I wouldn't have to look at it if I couldn't go up, and Talia's eyes must have been full of helplessness when she looked at me.

Returning to the room where the vault had disappeared, we each found a comfortable place to sit down. It took us hours to move such a short distance.

Talia pulled out her medical kit and began to examine the engineers one by one. They have been in direct contact with the "mist" for so long, and if the thing can really penetrate the skin, it will be troublesome, and it is better to deal with it sooner. It didn't take long for Talia to sigh and say, "We're running out of medical supplies."

Not to mention antibiotics, even the most basic disinfection alcohol has just been completely used up. If anyone gets hurt again, they really have to wrap themselves in bandages

It's serious, but I'm really tired, and Talia and Chen Zaihai seem to have said something afterward. But before I knew exactly what they were talking about, my consciousness fell into a deep sleep
