Chapter 27: The Swarm of Biochemical Rats
CHAPTER XXVII
The small flashlight under the barrel of the M16 shot out a series of slightly white pillars of light, and the pillars of light shook and pierced through the darkness, illuminating the distance of five or six meters away, and the world realm farther away was still dark. Dark, silent, damp, foul-smelling stench reigned here, and a few unarmed newcomers walked in the middle, others cautiously searched the surroundings and advanced.
Fortunately, the sewer pipes in this place are very thick, and the pipes under the lake are more than one person tall and thick, and according to the suggestions in the notebook, the map indicates the main pipe of the city, and there is no problem with a heavy truck running around. The main pipe from the hotel on the artificial island to the outside of the park is very simple, only one pipe passes, but after the pass, the underground pipe of the city begins to become complicated, crisscrossing the pipes like a maze of pipes in all directions, and it is easy to lose your sense of direction when walking in such an environment.
"This hellish place, fortunately there is a map, otherwise I don't know where the road will go!" Walking in the silence of the sewer pipe, as if isolated from the world, Magino was very uncomfortable with this environment and couldn't help but mutter, but although it was a small mutter, but in this silent and closed environment, his voice still came far away. Maginot didn't like this kind of complex confined space with low visibility, and there was no worse environment for a gunslinger, but alas, the Lord God let you go here, and you can't do it if you don't.
"Don't talk, there's something wrong here!" After entering the city's main pipeline network, Lin Li and An Qi's faces became cautious, Lin Li always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the surrounding environment, and An Qi, with the help of Sunset Kagome's bloodline, clearly felt that some dangerous atmosphere was spreading around the team.
"Brother Lin!" Moved forward in silence for a while. The little fat man suddenly pulled the corner of Lin Li's clothes, and Lin Li looked in the direction he pointed over, and a torn military uniform of the National Guard was shrinking in the dark corner of the sewer, this military uniform made several people frown, could it be that the army stationed on the artificial island also entered the sewer? So who are the people who evacuated from the artificial island by hovercraft, and what happened on the artificial island, I am afraid that Lin Li and they will never know the way.
This uniform at least shows that the National Guard people did enter the sewers, and they were attacked, and the question now is how many soldiers entered the sewers, and whether these soldiers will have any effect on their future actions, hopefully these guys are small in number and preferably not infected in large numbers, otherwise there will be a war later.
The episode of the military uniform made the people of the squad more cautious. Luckily, the sewer is surrounded by cement pipes. Unless there is a crossing or a turn, you need to pay attention to the situation on both sides, and the general team only needs to pay attention to the situation in front and behind, and a few M16s with flashlights make a surprise attack by those potential enemies unlikely.
The Campbell International Airport, which doesn't know whether it exists in reality, is on the western outskirts of the city, and the team has to cross most of the city if they want to get there. The city is not big. Say it's not small. It still takes a lot of time to walk across the entire city, and the team walked in the silent space for a while, when suddenly Lin Li raised his arm and made a stop gesture. As soon as Lin Li stopped, the people in the team immediately became nervous.
There was a faint sound in the silence of the darkness, which still didn't sound very real even in such a quiet environment, but when everyone stopped, the sound of footsteps and even the sound of breathing became quieter.
"It's gunshots!" Maginot identified the sound and quickly determined that it was a gunshot, in a relatively closed environment, the sound can be transmitted far away, and the penetration of the sound is also very strong without noise interference, and the two are superimposed, this burst of gunfire is still so small, indicating that the place where the gunfire sounded is still very far away from Lin Li and them.
"Brother Lin, what should I do? Would you like to go over and have a look? "If there is a gunshot, it means that there may be survivors, and it also means that it is very likely to be dangerous, but at the moment, Lin Li and they don't just need to go through this complex 'underground labyrinth' to enter Campbell International Airport, they also need to find the pass, this gunshot may be an opportunity, and this is the idea revealed in the little fat man's eyes.
"Let's go over and take a look, Maginow, fatty, you two make marks along the way, don't let us get lost!" The little fat man's idea coincided with Lin Li, after a little thought, Lin Li weighed it a little, then nodded to Maginot and the little fat man and said that he began to lead the way, only Maginot in the team had a slightly stronger vision than Lin Li, and in terms of hearing, Lin Li was definitely the best, and it was the most suitable to follow this faint sound and hand it over to Lin Li to do.
The sewer pipe is too complicated, and if you follow the sound, you will soon deviate from the original route of the team, and the simple map in Lin Li's notebook only indicates a road to Campbell International Airport, and there is no sign for other routes of the sewer, and the team will soon get lost if you don't make a mark.
Under the leadership of Lin Li, the squad accelerated its advance, and the gunfire began to gradually become louder as the squad advanced, and soon after, the gunfire in the confined environment began to become deafening, and with the gunshot, a strange sound of rustling also sounded.
"Fatty, stay here, be careful, I'll go take a look!" The strong smell of blood came along with the dull sound of gunshots, judging from the sound of gunshots, the person who fired the gun was at most more than a hundred meters away from Lin Li and them, and the battle on the other side of the sound was very fierce, Lin Li didn't want to rush over with the newcomer, he wanted to go to investigate first.
Lin Li let the little fat man stay where they were, he himself touched it in the direction where the gunshots came, the small flashlight that came with M16 had been turned off by him, and the surrounding environment was all viewed by his own enhanced vision, this kind of environment is good with lights, but the lights of the lighting will also remind the enemy that he has appeared, and turning on the flashlight is inevitably a little more than worth the loss.
Lin Li looked for the sound of the gunshot, quickly touched it, turned a pipe, and the scene that appeared in front of him made Lin Li suddenly feel a tingling scalp, the dark pipe was densely crawled with a kind of creatures that are common in the sewers, these creatures were blood-red and crowded in the sewer pipes, and even piled up in layers and frantically rushed to the same direction, and in the distance, the flames from some guns could be faintly seen.
This group of unlucky guys encountered a group of mutant rats, and the black and oppressive things were all rats, and the dense number of rats that could not be counted gathered together wanted to have a pleasant dinner, but the people they were eating together were probably not in such a happy mood. Although the firepower of this group of people is fierce, it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket in the face of such a dense group of mutant rats, and they have not relied on crazy firepower to hold on until now, I am afraid there are some other reasons.
"It's a group of mutant rats that have been infected, there are extremely large numbers, and they are densely packed and countless, it's not difficult to eat us, and some people should be blocked there!" Seeing the mutant rat swarm, he turned back after observing Lin Li, it was almost impossible to pass through the eyes of these rats, unless it was now with the blood mist that he had just started.
"The mutant rat swarm is more troublesome than the zombies, the zombies are at least larger, and it is impossible to rush over at the same time, these rats are much more troublesome than the zombie swarm, and such a violent gunfire can't scare away these rats, they are much more aggressive after being infected, we don't have any good ways to deal with them now, there are only two Molotov cocktails left, my opinion is not to take the initiative to provoke them, take advantage of the trouble they are looking for those people, let's get out of here quickly!" The little fat man listened to Lin Li's words, thought silently for a while and said, his opinion is more in line with the current situation, Maginot also has this opinion, but An Qi's opinion is different, the team wants to find a pass, and these people who are blocked here may be the key to this pass.
"The notes are very clear, only if we get the pass, we can find the reporter of the Planet Daily, if you can't get the pass, I'm afraid there will be other troubles, so I still have to go over and take a look, but this mutant rat swarm is really troublesome, it's very inconvenient to move with newcomers, I'm going to divide the team into two teams, me and the little fat man to find those people, you follow the line in the notebook to get here, wait for us here, just return the same way, and go to the place where we originally marked!" Lin Li pointed to the simple road map on the notebook and divided the team into two teams, he and the little fat man were in a group, the rest of the people were in a group, and the remaining group of people had Maginot and An Qi to take care of each other, and nothing should happen, and he and the little fat man were not too afraid of the mutant rat swarm, the two of them could go to those people, Lin Li had a golden bell jar and tempered skin, and the hard flesh made him not too afraid of the bite of the mutant rats, the situation of the little fat man was similar, and the bloodline of the third generation of the general made the little fat man extremely resistant to biochemical viruses, And the general bite has no effect on the little fat man except for some pain.
Divided into two teams, the two teams quickly separated, and after An Qi and they left for a while, Lin Li took the little fat man and leaned towards the place surrounded by the mutant rats, at this time, the fierce gunfire weakened slightly, I don't know if the people who were trapped were because of the reduction in ammunition or what.
"Brother Lin, what should I do? So many rats, if you throw an elephant over, you will have to be eaten in a while! The dense swarm of rats made the little fat man feel nauseous and frightened, if the two of them really passed like this, Lin Li might not be a big problem, he would definitely have to be gnawed into a bone frame.
"Come with me, let's find some 'helpers' first!" Lin Li naturally couldn't let the little fat man go to death, and after glancing at the rats, Lin Li had a plan and quietly left with the little fat man. (To be continued......)
