I guessed halfway through and it was all a mess. Not to mention, there was something completely beyond my expectations, the grenade almost hit his hand, and the most critical automatic rifle did not go off. The reloading action that usually takes two or three seconds to complete, after I finished firing a shuttle bullet, Platoon Commander Zhao still didn't get it done. Fortunately, the grenade was thrown far away and the expected goal was achieved. I don't have much hope for the micro-* bullet, mainly because its accuracy is difficult to guarantee at this distance, and it definitely can't compare with the range of an automatic rifle. But grenades are different, as long as they reach a predetermined position, their extremely lethal shrapnel has a high probability of making my plan successful. But it doesn't matter, whether the plan succeeds or not, there is no chance of remedy. After hearing a loud bang from the grenade, I desperately shouted, "Run!" Platoon Commander Zhao and Hu Aiguo jumped up after hearing my shouts, threw off their legs and ran. It seems that Hu Aiguo's injuries are not serious. The squad leader Liu beside me still looked at the water blankly, and said, "It has so many legs, can it outrun it?" "I almost got mad at him. Raised his leg and kicked him, scolding: "Less nonsense, run." "At the time, I wondered if his skull injury had worsened, and it was obvious that he was about to hang up. Squad Leader Liu was kicked on the ground by me and turned over, got up without speaking, and ran down with Platoon Leader Zhao. At the same time as the grenade exploded, the fragments of torches that illuminated the water, the falling water, the annihilation, and the space instantly returned to darkness. The rapid change between extremely bright and extremely dark made it difficult for my eyes to adapt, and the torch in the hand of Platoon Commander Zhao in front of me looked very blurry, a bit like a mosaic, and it was very unpleasant to watch. I ran with the faint light of the fire, and the sound of the water behind me suddenly became violent, and the sound of countless wrists and feet hitting the surface of the water, and the sound of twitching the air, came from behind me. It was so exciting, my adrenaline secretion increased significantly, and I ran tirelessly, and the four of us quickly caught up with Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe.

Such a loud and chaotic sound, they could naturally hear it. But without experiencing it and seeing it with your own eyes, you can't experience the shock and comprehend the fear. If we had this experience, I think it would be difficult for us to catch up. But their current speed is obviously holding us back. Platoon Commander Zhao and I dragged one by one and ran to the front.

The huge octopus-like mollusk made louder and louder noises in the back, as if it had shifted its anger from the water to the embankment, and its huge wrists and feet pumped against the cave wall with a loud "ping-pong" sound. I could feel the ground trembling slightly as it hit. However, its anger is aimless, only directed at the embankment, with no specific target, such as us.

And the torches in our hands are as bright as a beacon in the dark underworld. Judging from this, my plan was successful, and the shrapnel of a micro* charge or grenade shrapnel blinded its eyes. Although the situation is so sinister, I am greatly relieved by this judgment. I feel like our hope of survival has increased.

We ran for a while, and the deafening sound behind us suddenly stopped, a very brief pause. Then the loud and chaotic sound of fear rang out again. I ran a few steps forward, feeling the flesh on my face twitch a few times, nervous. I could hear a change in the voices behind me, moving towards us, as if searching for us, whipping at the embankment and the cave walls, and approaching in the direction we had fled. We became prey.

The process is obvious, approaching much faster than we can escape. Because as squad leader Liu said: he has so many legs.

The sound of the ground shaking became more and more pronounced, and the sound of the huge brachiopods twitching the air and the walls of the cave became more and more harsh. Such an exciting thing approached, and it also stimulated the potential of Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe, although they were short of breath and their violent heartbeats were clearly audible even to the people around them, but their speed did not slow down, and they were desperately persevering.

But we still couldn't outrun it, and since the monster had decided on its tactics, there had been no sound coming from the water, and all the sounds were made by it hitting the embankment and the cave walls. I now believe that it is a ghost in the water more than squad leader Liu.

When passing by a rest area, squad leader Liu stopped, shouted Hu Aiguo and said, "Give me the grenade." ”

His words also made me and Platoon Commander Zhao stand still. "What are you going to do? It doesn't work. Platoon Commander Zhao said anxiously: "Don't waste time here, maybe we can run over." ”

"Where did you run over there?" Squad leader Liu asked first. "If nothing else, the road should be long. If we can't outrun it, we'll all end up being killed by it. Someone had to stay and drag it down. I insisted on coming down, insisting on coming here, and I caused this result, so let me take the responsibility. ”

I sighed, knowing that he was right, and that if I ran like this, I would only be wiped out. At the same time, I guess that the clue that this water monster is following us should be the sound, the sound of us running and the slight vibration that comes from it. If it could still find us through the light, there would be no need to scrutinize it all the way behind us.

"I agree with squad leader Liu's suggestion." I quickly made a decision to side with squad leader Liu. "And I am the main cause of this matter, and I am more responsible and obligatory. Squad Leader Liu and I stayed behind to cover, you guys run. We will give you as much time as possible. ”

My words were firm, but they made one person collapse immediately. It's Platoon Commander Zhao.

If it was simply squad leader Liu who stayed alone, Platoon Leader Zhao might have made a strong move. But leaving a member of the archaeological team behind for cover, his sense of responsibility and self-esteem did not allow him to do so. I could tell his ambivalence in his pained expression. However, this time Platoon Commander Zhao did not hesitate for too long, perhaps time really did not allow him to hesitate, and he had to make a decision in the shortest possible time.

Platoon Commander Zhao handed the torch in his hand to Hu Aiguo and said very seriously: "I order you that the safety of the two archaeological experts must be guaranteed. Take the two archaeologists to a safe place. ”

Then he said to Xiao Guolin: "Captain Xiao, please contact me immediately when you reach a safe location." ”

Now, in addition to one shoulder-mounted walkie-talkie in Xu Xinming's group, there are also three portable walkie-talkies. Platoon Commander Zhao and Captain Xiao each held one, and the other one was left with the health soldiers. In this way, the walkie-talkie of the health soldiers can be used as a transfer station, so that Platoon Commander Zhao can keep abreast of the search situation on the upper floor at any time.

Xiao Guolin has no choice, unless he wants to die, or like squad leader Liu, he is ready to sacrifice at any time. But obviously, he is not mentally prepared, he still has concerns.
