"It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't make sense."

Huang He shook his head again and again: "If you find an abnormality, you should give an early warning at the first time." Unless...... They were forced to do so. ”

Su Hao interrupted their conversation: "Now is not the time to play a guessing game. We're going to move on to the next level now. The hospital is supplied with electricity from a wind-cycled system in a nearby mountain. This small power station is generally controlled by a computer, and while the system automatically adjusts the balance based on actual electricity consumption, someone has to set the voltage every once in a while. The basic lighting is maintained here, which means that there must still be people alive in the energy control room. ”

Huang He clenched the gun in his hand: "You mean, let's go directly to the main control room?" ”

Su Hao nodded: "Except for the warehouse, most of the machinery and equipment on the floor are life-sustaining systems. The situation here is very weird, don't waste time, the next steps of action are simplified to controlling the electricity, and then go to the layer to find the computer records. Anyone who finds anything non-human is killed. ”

The heavy floodgates slowly opened, and a pungent smell immediately hit the face. People quickly put on their purifying masks, looked at the green lines on the air gauge that indicated that the oxygen content was enough to maintain normal breathing, and after confirming that the gas was non-toxic, they slowly took off the masks.

Huang He frowned and sniffed vigorously: "This smells so weird, like rotten and spoiled meat, but it doesn't stink that much." ”

Su Hao had a faint worry on his face. Without saying a word, he strode deeper into the passage.

It's much messier than the previous floors.

Discarded debris was everywhere, and supply crates were everywhere in the corners and aisles. Every few steps, you will always step on the empty bullet casings that "jingle bells" roll around. The light was still dim, and the emergency lights barely illuminated a small area. Relying on divergent mental awareness, the search team still maintained its speed.

The passage was wide enough for two wheeled armored vehicles side by side. The search team formed an attack formation and trotted towards the power supply room.

Suddenly, Su Hao suddenly stopped his footsteps and raised his right hand suddenly, and the whole team immediately stopped.

Yang Junhao stared at the depths of the passage with bated breath for a few seconds, not noticing the slightest movement.

He looked at Su Hao's back, slowly approached the Yellow River standing next to him, and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Hell, this guy is too cautious, right?" There was nothing ahead, and what did he stop at? ”

Huang He moved the muscles on his face and whispered, "I don't know. Possible...... Did he feel something? ”

Feeling, one of the most commonly used terms in military personnel, stands for thinking consciousness.

Yang Junhao shook his head: "This kid surnamed Su is too young. I don't see anything special about him. Perhaps, this guy is a relative of some big man, and it took luck and nepotism to climb to this position. Little white faces are usually liked by women, and two hours in bed are worth it more than we have worked hard for 20 years. ”

Huang He raised his left index finger to his lips and said with a dissatisfied, "The CR team is not as simple as it seems. Getting the "full excellent" assessment score is very telling in itself. It's not a bad thing to be cautious, and I don't want to die in a place like this for no reason. ”

Yang Junhao pursed his lips and was about to open his mouth to refute, only to hear Su Hao roar: "Just in front, concentrate your firepower to shoot ————"

In the darkness, there was a vague shadow bouncing back and forth.

It moved so fast that the soldiers couldn't see it at all. Even an officer with second-order strength would have a hard time catching the laws of its movement. The shape of the object touched by the mind is somewhat blurred, and it can be roughly distinguished that the other party is similar to a human, dragging a tail that is more than half a meter long.

At this point, the effect of the dense attack is immediately apparent. The six soldiers standing in the front opened fire almost at the same time, and the bullets sealed the dark shadow's hiding space from different angles. The tactical lamp carried by the gun immediately shone a splash of blood,

Bai Yuncong pulled out the battle axe from his backpack, shook his body forward, and swung his weapon towards the black shadow that was falling from the wall. The fierce momentum and strength completely overwhelmed the fear, and with the guidance of consciousness perception, the carbon battle axe accurately hit the target, making a terrifying sound of the axe blade cutting through flesh and shattering bones.

More than a dozen tactical lights came in from all directions, and it was clear to the eye: a mutated creature with a severed neck lying on the ground. It is naked, and its skin is dark gray with dark brown spots. The whole face is convex forward, the eyes grow on either side of the cheeks, the lips are thick, and the broad lip line extends to the lower edge of the left and right ears.

Yang Junhao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and whispered in shock: "This, this guy, what is it?" ”

Su Hao's gaze swept over the mutant creature's body, resting on the incomparably thick tail with tiny scales on the surface.

"It's a mutant."

Su Hao said in a deep voice: "It was originally a human like us, and the virus infection made it a zombie. The genes of the foreign organism are further penetrated, causing fusion between the cells that were originally rejected. When two different genes coexist in a body, a secondary variation is created. ”

After a pause, Su Hao pointed to the corpse of the mutant creature that was still twitching: "It has not fully reached the standard of evolution, and it can only be regarded as an unsuccessful mutant individual." Half-human, half-beast, but inherited enough mimicry effects. ”

Huang He fiddled with the corpse with the muzzle of his gun, and his expression was a little puzzled: "This guy looks like a gecko, is it ......?"

Su Hao nodded: "That's right, its parasitic gene is a gecko." You can call it a "gecko man" or a "lizardman". ”

After hearing these words, Huang He, who had a rough personality, pondered for a long time in a rare way, and said inexplicably: "The field hospital of the 915th Infantry Division belongs to the army establishment. According to the data, they maintained normal operation for seven months after the outbreak of the virus before suddenly cutting off communication. We started dispensing immunization pills in the second month after the virus broke out. This field hospital has a higher standard than the combat troops, and they should have obtained the potion earlier than we did. But you just said that the foundation of mutants ...... Is it a zombie? ”

Su Hao's expression was very calm: "This is not as simple as an ordinary hospital. Many research institutes in the military are very classified. The Command did not provide any relevant information. As far as I know, though, zombie research requires a lot of live experiments. They are likely to be caught in large quantities and supplied for research. In this case, it is normal for variation to occur. ”

As he spoke, he looked into the depths of the passage: "Our task is only to get the computer information storage. Be careful, these mutated creatures aren't actually powerful, but they always have some weird and inexplicable special abilities. And they all have a common recipe ———— love fresh human flesh. ”

The distribution room was not damaged, but the two energy reactors have ceased to function. The entire field hospital can only rely on external wind energy to maintain basic power generation.

Along the way, they encountered dozens of mutated creatures, mostly humanoids in spider and ant form. Although they were hideous and faster than the average number of people, they did not cause casualties. The search team concentrated its firepower and collected nearly fifty milligrams of silver bones and six spars.

The steel gates leading to the floor are as heavy as usual. Without waiting for Su Hao to speak, Yang Junhao had already walked in front with great strides. The expressions on their faces were no longer nervous, and they would occasionally interject into a few innocuous jokes. The relaxed atmosphere affected more and more people, and although the muzzles of the guns were still pointed into the depths of the darkened passage, their attention and spirit were no longer as focused as before.

Su Hao walked in the team without saying a word.

He was puzzled.

According to the information provided by Xu Renjie, the field hospital of the 915th Infantry Division should be a dangerous place. Otherwise, the whereabouts of the first few batches of reinforcements would not be unknown, and there would be a few people alive.

From entering the underground area to the present, not a single survivor has been found, and there is no sign of equipment and rooms being wreaked havoc. It was as if nothing had happened here, and the people in the hospital seemed to have evacuated on their own initiative, rather than by an unknowable accident.

There is nothing wrong with the optimism of the squad members. The weakest of them also possessed a first-order enhanced physique. Whether it's a mutated creature in the form of a gecko or a humanoid in the form of a spider or an ant, it can be easily killed as long as you keep a safe enough distance.

Su Hao subconsciously thought of the deceased in room L16.

Only the head and limbs, no body...... In the vast number of computer data documents in the future world, Su Hao has never seen a similar record.

He suddenly felt as if his legs were getting a little heavy. This is certainly not a consequence of physical deprivation or mental malaise. Su Hao frowned, and kept trying to release his thinking energy, extending and exploring into the depths of the passage. The enclosed space compresses the tactile sensation to an extremely narrow area, and it is only possible to follow the road all the way.

No signs of human survival have been found.

Perhaps, this field hospital is simply empty?

It's already close to the main control room. According to the building structure marked on the electronic map, pass through the last protective gate and go about 800 meters away, which is where the central computer of the hospital is located.

As soon as they walked around the "T" corner, they immediately smelled a damp and cold air. It was mixed with an indescribable fishy stench, like the putrid smell of blood that had been left in the sun for too long.

The lighting is set at a distance of about 50 meters. They illuminate a radius of at most one-third of this number. Between the dim light and the mass of blackness, one was surprised to find that the corridor was covered in a crimson slime———— and that the ceiling was draped with droplet-shaped objects. The ground is slippery and soft, like stepping on a soft dirt surface that has not yet been tamped.

The atmosphere, which had just been relaxed for a few minutes, suddenly became tense again.

Huang He squatted down and touched his feet with his fingers, and the ground immediately took his fingertips as the core, sinking into a shallow pit. Visually, the depth is about two centimeters.

Su Hao pulled out the dagger and plunged it into the wall hard, sinking into the blade to a depth similar to the ground. He cut off a piece of attachment with force, and Bai Yuncong willingly shone it with a tactical lamp. In the bright light, it can be seen that it is a very soft substance, and the surface is covered with a large amount of fishy mucus.

Yang Junhao twisted the angle of the spotlight on his helmet to make himself see more clearly. Curious, "What is it?" ”

Su Hao stared at the slime in his palm and shook his head.

He had a very bad premonition, and the warning signs of danger from the beginning of entering the hospital became more and more intense. But so far, Su Hao still doesn't understand what is the basis for the source of this feeling?

He had never seen anything like it.

This thing is not aggressive, but I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Su Hao always feels that "it" is alive.

"Liu Han, take out the biological detector and do a simple sample analysis."

Three metal probes were inserted deep into the sticky, and rows of text and symbols soon appeared on the electronic instrument cluster.

"Yes...... It is organic, carbon-based lifeforms. ”

Liu Han stared at the screen in disbelief, his expression as frightened as if he had seen a ghost. He stammered, "It'...... It's actually alive, it's alive."

"What did you say?"

The muscles on Yang Junhao's face twitched, and he quickly jumped away from the sticky object in a hurry, standing on the uncovered hard ground on the outside of the passage. Feeling that there was a certain degree of security, he leaned over and asked cautiously and nervously, "What is this......?" Also mutant creatures? ”

"I, I don't know."

Liu Han shook his head, the horror and fear on his face did not subside in the slightest. He struggled to calm his fast-jumping heart, but his voice still trembled visibly: "But it's alive, alive like us." It is made up of cells, and its basic components are fats, proteins, sugars, water, inorganic salts...... There are also some other trace elements. Compared with the basic ingredients, the consistency rate with humans is as high as more than 99%.

Yang Junhao clenched the gun in his hand tightly, took a big breath of fishy air, and looked at the dark-shrouded passage with fear on his face. For a moment, he turned his gaze to Su Hao with a consultative meaning.

Su Hao understood the meaning in the other party's eyes.

"Right up front is the main control room. That's where we want to go. ”

He looked at Yang Junhao, then at the Yellow River standing next to him, and at other people nearby, and said in a calm tone: "The field hospital of the 915th Infantry Division is a place full of mysteries. They lost contact with the headquarters of the army group a few months ago. Several successive groups of reinforcements were all missing, leaving no information for reference. This mission is quite dangerous, and you can die at any time. If anyone wants to quit, they can bring it up now, and I'm not reluctant. ”

This is Su Hao's sincere words.

He had just taken over the CR squad and was nominally the commander of the mission, but 8 certainly wouldn't obey orders 100 percent. This passage covered with flesh and blood was very weird, even in the future realm, Su Hao had never seen it, and he had not even heard of a place similar to it.

According to the wartime rule: the commander has the right to terminate the mission if there is accurate information indicating that the danger is too high and may result in the total annihilation of the troops

Su Hao turned around and looked thoughtfully at the depths of the passage.

He had an uncomfortable chill feeling that something in the darkness was staring coldly at him, along with the rest of the team.

Yang Junhao's face became ugly. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a deep voice, "I'm not a coward. But the situation is clearly out of control. We don't know what's in it? These things that cover the floors and walls are actually meat...... Well, they're meat, and this is the first time I've seen that. They are not ordinary mutated creatures, nor are they bloody corpses and humanoids. I have to be responsible for the people under me. Captain Sue...... Sorry"

Su Hao nodded calmly and turned his inquiring gaze to the others.

The nine members of the CR team took a few steps forward and gathered around Su Hao.

With Yang Junhao as the core, stand five or six meters away.

Huang He's face was a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a few seconds and ordered all the members of Rj around him, "You guys just stay here and stay on guard." ”

After speaking, Huang He strode up to Su Hao and said seriously: "I'll go in with you, but they must stay." It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. You're the mission commander, I'll be at your disposal, and I'll be responsible for the rest of Rj, I hope you understand

Su Hao smiled lightly and explained calmly: "You misunderstood what I meant. I never wanted to put anyone at risk. ”

He looked around and said in a voice large enough for everyone to hear, "Stay here and build your defenses on the spot." Remember———— don't let any mutated creatures approach. They are not as powerful or fast as yours, but they have special abilities that you can't imagine. ”

Huang He's face was full of surprise: "What about you?" ”

Su Hao turned around, stared at the endless darkness in the depths of the passage, and smiled: "Since you're here, you have to go in and have a look." ”

Walking on the soft surface of flesh and blood, it is like stepping on a thick velvet blanket that absorbs water. With each step, a dark red liquid oozes from the edge of the sole.

Su Hao refused to insist on following Huang He and Bai Yuncong. And for good reason———— I am much stronger than you. Follow me, and you'll only become a liability.

Soldiers worship the brave, and individual heroism can be admired like never before. Looking at Su Hao, who gradually disappeared at the end of the passage, the people who stayed outside couldn't help but have an unreal illusion: the figure that was gradually engulfed in darkness was as tall and majestic as a mountain.

At the end of the hallway, there is an electronic sensor door.

The walls were covered in a thick layer of goo, and the ceiling was dripping with a disgusting, cloudy liquid. They filled the cracks in the doors, revealing only a gap about half a meter in diameter.

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Su Hao suddenly has a feeling that he is standing in the body of some unknown monster. This corridor of flesh and blood is the esophagus that leads to the monster's stomach pouch.

The alarm signs from the brain are getting stronger. The reflex consciousness from the nerve center kept urging him to retreat as quickly as possible, to leave, to flee as far as he could, and never to come back.
