Chapter 88: Invasion of Brain Cells
A gust of wind blew, curling an icy whimper swirling through the valley, adding to the eerie taste. It's like being in a deserted dead ghost.
Everyone couldn't help but be cautious and began their offensive journey.
It was quiet all the way, there was no humming noise in the machines, no rustle of insects crawling in secret, not even insects chirping and birds chirping. The more this is the case, the more people dare not slack off.
Vaguely, everyone could feel as if there was a pair of eyes watching them in the dark, but when they looked closely, they were nowhere to be seen.
However, Qin Fen and the others did not walk out of this base for long, and they saw several military tents in the col not far away, scattered on the edge of a rocky mountain. A soldier who was sitting on a dry rock smoking a cigar saw Qin Fen and them, and immediately stood up in surprise:
"Wow, man! Don't tell me you're also here to support the search and rescue forces? ”
Qin Fen and the others glanced at each other, and the Titan, a nine-foot man who looked more like a soldier, spoke:
"That's right, private, we're here to make sure you're still alive and find a way to take you home."
The soldier laughed and said:
"Seriously, man, it's the most hilarious joke I've heard in half a day - you must not know what's going on here, the communication contacts are blocked, and the buddies are always missing for no apparent reason. There are thirty of us in the Fury Squad, how many are left? ”
As he spoke, the soldier sighed and said:
"Seriously, you shouldn't be here."
"Soldiers, we have to fight wherever the commander points out." The Titan shrugged helplessly, "Can you tell me what you encountered?" ”
The soldier smoked a cigarette and just shook his head:
"I am a soldier at the Rage base two hundred kilometers away, and in the morning I received a distress signal from the Whiskey Unit, and Lieutenant Colonel Taylor rushed over with us. When I arrived, I found that there was a strong magnetic field interference nearby, and the communicator was blocked. But who made us the big soldiers? The search and rescue work still has to be carried out. We searched the nearby buildings, but there were no survivors, not even bodies. ”
Speaking of this, there was a hint of horror in the soldier's eyes, and he said:
"Twenty minutes later, we began to assemble according to the battle plan we had made, and then we found that there were twelve people missing from the team! A whole dozen soldiers! …… God, I didn't even hear any fighting and cries for help, they were like pebbles in the darkness, and they just disappeared silently, without a trace! ”
Everyone felt a strange horror from this narrative, and they all frowned. The soldier continued:
"When something like this happens, the search and rescue work can't go any further. Chief Taylor intends to evacuate the base and call for help from headquarters. But...... We couldn't find our way back! Obviously, I walked along the main road, and as I walked, I turned back again! ”
The soldier had a look of despair and anguish on his face, "In the process, three more companions disappeared silently, and they disappeared right next to us...... It's over, no one can escape! Everyone has to die! ”
I see. Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder these soldiers had dull and lifeless eyes, like dead old men in their seventies and eighties. They can't get out of here, and their companions always disappear mysteriously and mysteriously, so it's good luck that they don't go crazy.
At this time, a military tent in the corner was suddenly lifted from the inside. A female officer with a white gauze wrapped around her left arm and a bumpy figure like a ripe honey/peach walked out, and stretched out her hand to the Titan with a serious expression:
"Hello! I am Major Taylor, the commander of the Fury Force, and thank you for your heroic actions, and thank you for your courage in coming to our rescue. But to be honest, I really don't want to see you guys here. Because the situation here is ....... worse than you think. ”
The Titan reached out and shook it:
"Oh, Lieutenant Colonel Taylor, I knew it was going to be a difficult journey when I set out, so please don't have too many scruples and tell us the truth."
There was a hint of fatigue on the female chief's face, but she still acted neatly and neatly, without any delay, and led everyone into the tent, and then began to introduce the current strange situation.
The content is more or less the same as what the soldier had just said, but the next few words are quite shrewd:
“…… That's the harsh environment we're facing. Although there is electromagnetic shielding here, it is definitely not to the extent of distorting the planet's magnetic field, which means that the reason why we can't get out of this base is that the problem is likely to be in ourselves. ”
"As we all know, when the light on the object is reflected to the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and vitreous, it is refracted and focused on the retina to form an inverted image, and the photoreceptor cells on the retina are stimulated by the light and produce impulses, which are transmitted from the optic nerve to the brain to form vision. To put it simply, vision is actually controlled by our brain, and what we see is also interpreted by our brain...... So, I have a guess that I can't confirm for the time being: is there something invisible that is secretly affecting our brains, so that our balance and vision organs are out of order, so we can't get out of here? ”
Everyone looked at each other and showed surprise in unison. I didn't expect this female commander of the wave/hegemony level to have such an opinion.
After listening to her analysis and speculation, everyone's eyes immediately narrowed, because everyone who has watched the movie knows that this kind of creature can affect the human brain and even hypnotize...... It's very likely to be a Zerg Mother Queen (Mother Worm)!
The adventurers began to discuss in secret, and soon reached a unanimous agreement:
Quick!
Whether it's releasing parasites or mental hypnosis, it takes a certain amount of time for the mother worm to attack. Everyone has just entered this base, and they won't start immediately if they think about it. And the Black Tooth tribe has been defeated, and the mother worm who escaped here must be in the weakest period, which is just the opportunity for everyone to take it down in one go. Otherwise, when the mother worm recovers, the danger of doing it again will be greatly increased.
The discussion was decided, and everyone walked out of the tent, and when they saw that the soldiers who came with them all looked anxious, Qin Fen raised his eyebrows and thought about it. Laughed:
"This mission was specially ordered by the headquarters, let's do it beautifully, and it will definitely be in the newspaper when the time comes, and it will be good to show our faces in front of the citizens of the Federation, and maybe we can get the Medal of Honor awarded by the Federal Marshal himself!"
The werewolf scientist smiled and said:
"Now that the newspapers are on it, the BBC radio station must also distribute relevant news, and my face can be regarded as showing home, and it is not a problem to honor my ancestors. When the time comes, I will have to carry the semiconductors to my father's grave and let the old man listen to them......"
The silver lady on the side raised her eyebrows when she listened: "What kind of demon moth do you want to make trouble?" Wouldn't it be okay to burn a few newspapers for your old man, how can anyone in the world carry a radio to the grave? ”
The werewolf scientist said with a bitter face:
"You don't know that our old man is just a mud leg in the grass, although he has attended several literacy classes, but he is not the material for reading at all. In this life, he can't read half a basket of words, and if I really burn the newspaper, his old man may not even be able to figure out which side is up......"
The humor that everyone said was quite the essence of the American hip-hop self-deprecating style, which caused many soldiers to laugh, and the gloomy atmosphere was suddenly dispelled a lot.
Qin Fen raised his hand and shook a gun: "Brothers, let's get ready, this time we will go up the mountain to fight the tiger and go down to the sea to capture the dragon!" I think I was able to shoot geese with my marksmanship. It is said that the head of the goose is not the tail of the goose, and the little sparrow cannot be broken, so the whole corpse must be left, and then it can be picked up to stew in the pot. Otherwise, it's not called the ability ......."
Everyone began to organize their weapons and equipment in laughter and scolding. After all, the next thing to do is to face the unknown mastermind, and the devil knows what will happen. What can you do if you don't have a handy guy? If there is danger, it must be a short contact that occurs suddenly. Therefore, the performance of the weapon must meet the standards of fast conversion between peacetime and wartime, convenient shooting, high rate of fire, and low failure rate.
Five minutes later, the heavily armed group walked towards the main building not far away.
