"Help me...... Help me......"

"It hurts, I hurt, there'...... No one can help me......"

"They're all dead...... All...... They're all dead......"

……

A dream-like whisper, like a ghostly whispering in his ear.

It is like an endless dream demon, in the deepest part of consciousness, constantly telling terrible nightmares in a trance.

A large number of cries for help and moans continued to echo in the depths of the dense fog, unconsciously approaching the main passage where Meng Lei and the others were.

Under the flickering light, dense eerie figures appeared at both ends of the passage.

They are like a distorted ghost, emerging from a sea of fear.

Everyone present, including Meng Lei, looked at the figure of the Mohu Lake, and their scalps were numb at the moment, and they were all dead!

"This ...... What's going on?! ”

"Where did these monsters come from? How could there be so many?! ”

"It's over, we're surrounded!"

……

In the headphones, the exclamations of everyone kept coming, and a thick fear appeared on everyone's faces.

Just now it was just a monster, and everyone gathered fire for a long time before they barely killed it.

This will pop up dozens of them at the same time, and the overwhelming sense of oppression will not even make people have the courage to fight against them.

"These monsters themselves have grown together with the mycelium around them, they should have been hiding in the passage in the depths of the fog before, attracted by the battle just now and the pheromones in the air, and then through the movement of the mycelium under their feet, they quietly approached."

After a short period of panic, Meng Lei immediately regained his composure and made a rational and sober analysis.

From the dense sound of rustling around them, as well as the previous behavior of the monster they had just killed, it could be seen that these monsters were not fixed in place like tree stumps, but that they moved.

It's just that the speed of movement is not very fast.

It's like wadling water in a swamp, very slowly.

But even so, the existence of these ghost things also brought a huge threat to the combat team present.

That simply invincible whip thorn is a deadly weapon in this narrow and crowded combat environment!

Even in a diving suit, there is hardly anyone who can take a hard blow without dying.

"Commander, what now?"

Someone asked anxiously, with a hint of panic in his tone.

Meng Lei took a flashlight and glanced around, and found that the front and back ends of the main passage were all blocked by those strange figures at this moment.

Without hesitation, Meng Lei immediately made a decision, beckoned to everyone, and shouted:

"Seal the road with grenades, everyone go this way, quick!"

As he spoke, Meng Lei took the lead and rushed to the side passage where he had just fought with the thalamic infected, and ran briskly towards the depths of the dense fog ahead.

The combat diving suit he wore was much lighter than the ordinary diving suits of other people, so he naturally took on the task of pathfinding.

As his voice fell, everyone followed.

But before leaving the main passage, two men pulled out two grenades and threw them towards the end of the main passage where the figures were shaking, to stop the monsters from pursuing.

Suddenly.

As two huge explosions sounded, it was as if a slight earthquake had occurred inside the entire cabin, and it suddenly trembled violently.

The billowing sound waves echoed wildly in the closed cabin like substance, boiling over the thalamic world.

Meng Lei was running forward wildly, and he was also unsteady in the tremor of the deck, stumbling and almost falling.

Barely balancing, he clinged to the side of the bulkhead and strode towards the end of the passage.

At the same time, he also kept reminding everyone to pay close attention to the environment around the passage.

Once you find traces of climbing up and down ladders or shaft passages, report them immediately and carry out violent breakdowns in time.

Everyone was running wildly while observing carefully.

However, it is difficult to find out.

In the dimly lit cabin, the tactical flashlight and the searchlight on the top of the wetsuit flickered wildly, and everything was shadowed, giving people a feeling of extreme unease and greatly affecting the view.

Walking through such a misty world is like walking in a silent mountain full of ashes.

You never know what horrors await you at the next intersection.

At a certain moment,

When Meng Lei had just turned a fork in the road, he hadn't had time to take two steps forward.

In the depths of the spore mist, which could not be seen in the distance, there was a faint cry.

The voice was small, poignant and ethereal, like a ghost whispering.

At the same time, the searchlight above the head of the diving suit also vaguely reflected a surging black shadow in the distance, twisted and hideous in the fog.

Meng Lei's scalp immediately exploded, he stopped abruptly, and then yelled hysterically at the back:

"Holy shit! There's something ahead, go back! Go back! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rapid sound of breaking the air in the dimness, and in the blink of an eye, he was near.

In a hurry, Meng Lei didn't have time to avoid it at all, so he could only rely on his instinct to reluctantly turn sideways and get closer to the bulkhead full of mycelium on the side.

In the next moment, the sound of the wind whistled by, clinging to his left arm.

Meng Lei felt a strong attack at that time, and the outside of his left arm seemed to be scraped by a speeding truck, and the whole person involuntarily overturned on his side and fell to the ground.

"Fuck me!"

An exclamation sounded, and Meng Lei spun uncontrollably in the air, and then fell headlong on the mycelium-covered deck floor.

The mycelium in front of him was densely packed like countless tentacles, and immediately like a hunter who smelled blood, desperately crawled towards him, trying to bind him firmly in place.

Ignoring the sharp pain in his left arm, Meng Lei struggled to get up.

A large amount of adrenaline is secreted, which temporarily relieves the physical pain.

Meng Lei got up from the ground with both hands and feet, subconsciously picked up the shotgun on his chest, fired a shot at the depths of the dense fog in the distance, and then ran away without looking back.

At this time, the people who followed behind surrounded one after another.

They heard Meng Lei's curses and cries of pain, and knew that he must have been attacked, so they hurriedly stepped forward to check on his injuries.

Fortunately, the blow just now did not directly hit his torso, and the small fate was saved.

In addition, although the material of the combat diving suit is light and thin, it is extremely tough, and it is far more resistant to blows than ordinary diving suits!

Although the heavy blow grazed his arm, the surface of the wetsuit was not damaged in the slightest, and not even a trace was visible.

I have to say, you get what you pay for.

When it's really a time of crisis, good things can really save lives!

"How's it going, have you found the entrance to the shaft passage?"

Meng Lei gasped for breath while making a movement of standing still, and asked everyone with his hands on his arms.

"No, the environment here is too dark to be seen clearly, and the mycelium grows more and more, covering most of the traces, and it's hard to find the location of the ladder."

The First Cause of All Worlds

Meng Lei took a deep breath when he heard this, and a trace of anxiety flashed imperceptibly on his face.

He raised his arm to look at the numbers on the surface of the wetsuit, it had been nearly fifteen minutes since they had boarded the boat.

Before you know it, time flies by, and there is simply no extra time to waste.

"Keep looking! In any case, find the entrance to the shaft passage, or if the beacon station is destroyed, everyone will be trapped here! ”

After a little hesitation, Meng Lei said in a heavy tone.

"Yes!"

The combatants agreed one after another, and they no longer stayed in place too much at the moment, and started to explore again in a different direction.

This time, the crowd ran through three corridors in the dense fog of the Light Mold, and there was still no trace of the shaft passage along the way.

However, I never encountered those terrifying thalamic infections again.

However, another question was put in front of everyone.

After a long and frenzied exploration, they got lost.

"Commander, no, we seem to have been here just now, and we have come back again!"

In the rushing procession, someone suddenly stopped, looking at the familiar surroundings, and a thick doubt appeared on his face.

Meng Lei endured the constant sharp pain in his left arm, and looked around with cold sweat on his forehead.

I found that this passage corridor really seemed to be somewhat familiar, and it had just run past here not long ago.

He suddenly felt his head widen.

The E-class transport ship is much larger than the Sea Locust, and the corridors in the cabin are also extensive.

In addition, the surrounding fog obscures the view.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, it is indeed easy to get lost.

"What to do? What to do? ”

In a hurry, Meng Lei's eyes swept over the plasma cutter hanging from the waist of a combatant, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

"There it is!"

He immediately turned his head and commanded the people, and cried out with a loud voice:

"Take out the cutting machine, use the arc to make a mark on the wall, and immediately turn around whenever you encounter a marked passage in the future!"

"Yes!"

The blue plasma arc immediately burns the mycelium on the surface of the surrounding bulkheads, leaving a pitch-black scorch mark in place.

Marked by these horizontal and highly uniform scorch marks, everyone walked through the labyrinthine corridors, finally avoiding the situation of turning back.

However, over time.

The whispers hidden in the surrounding fog were getting clearer and clearer.

Those infected and parasitic ghost crew members, as if they could feel the traces of the movement of the crowd, followed closely all the way.

And gathered from several directions, constantly compressing the activity space of the combat team.

Since it was still unclear about the specific situation of the lower layers, Meng Lei did not dare to let everyone waste too much ammunition, after all, the materials that could be carried by the armed belts were limited, and they had to ensure a certain amount of firepower reserves to deal with the unknown dangers in the lower areas.

Therefore, it is often only when it is completely blocked by monsters from all sides.

Meng Lei gave the order to use a precious grenade to blast out a bloody path, forcibly break through, and continue to explore.

When the time came twenty minutes after boarding.

The combat team, which was nearly lost in the dense fog, finally found traces of a shaft passage buried under mycelium near a chamber similar to an engineering cabin workshop.

"Here! Commander, there seems to be a passage ladder here, and the hatch should be nearby! ”

One of the combatants who was the first to notice the clue yelled excitedly, pointing to the outline of a high and bulging ladder on the surface of the bulkhead, and shouted incessantly.

Meng Lei's head was full of sweat at the moment, and he couldn't bear the sharp pain that kept coming from his arm, and stared at the past.

After confirming that the outline was indeed the trace of a ladder, he immediately ordered in a deep voice:

"Quick, immediately cut off all the nearby mycelium, find the entrance of the passage, move fast!"

Before his words fell, everyone who had been panicking immediately stepped forward and began to clean up the dense mycelium that had accumulated a thick layer on the nearby deck with the plasma gas cutting machine in their hands.

At this time, on the periphery of the passage where everyone was currently located, strange whispers kept coming.

The hoarse roar like a demon's whisper frantically impacted everyone's hearts, like an idiot in the tail line, slowly approaching.

The monster is here again, and it doesn't give anyone time to breathe.

Meng Lei immediately made a decision, strode out with a shotgun in one hand, and shouted at the crowd:

"Two people are responsible for blocking the attack, and the others are speeding up!"

The words stopped, and immediately two combatants got up and rushed to both sides of the passage with guns in hand.

The next moment.

"Dada......"

Dense gunfire rang out, and bright muzzle flames flickered wildly in the fog.

Meng Lei also clinged to the wall at the corner of the passage, while standing still, avoiding the mycelium under his feet, he desperately pulled the trigger, and poured countless steel balls wildly towards the dim end of the scattered figures in the distance.

Time

Dense whispers, turning into mournful wails and screams of pain, with piercing penetration, reverberated wildly in the cabin.

meanwhile

Those thalamic infections that have been tortured by bullets seem to be constantly blocked, and have evolved the thinking of counterattacking.

Even if the enemy was not exposed to the field of vision, they began to launch a fierce attack in the direction where Meng Lei and the others were hiding, according to the guidance of pheromones in the air.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

Thick thorns swung wildly, slamming desperately against the bulkheads around them.

In particular, the corner of the passage where Meng Lei and the others were hiding was the most fiercely attacked.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the bulkhead in front of Meng Lei was distorted and deformed by the blow, and it was completely out of shape.

It is not difficult to foresee that these sturdy metal bulkheads will soon turn into a mass of scrap metal, and will no longer be able to provide effective blocking.

Meng Lei was in a hurry, and while dodging the monster's attack as much as possible, he yelled desperately:

"Okay, no, those monsters are about to break through the blockade, and they can't be stopped!"

"Come on, Commander!"

Someone in the headset shouted: "The location of the hatch has been found, it is being violently cut, just hold on a little longer!" ”

As he spoke, he heard a loud bang in one direction.

The combatant guarding the other end of the passage had no choice but to throw a grenade to delay the monster's attack.

But he himself was hit in the thigh by a huge whip that pierced through the bulkhead bunker, and he collapsed to the ground and wailed.

Meng Lei immediately scolded secretly, hurriedly ran over, grabbed the other party's arm, and dragged it back desperately.

At this time, the crowd erupted in exclamation.

"It's open, the hatch is open!"

Meng Lei turned his head to look, and saw that on the deck not far away, a huge square hole had been cut by everyone.

The current situation is critical, and Meng Lei has no time to explore the way, so he immediately yelled at a few people:

"Jump! Let's get out of here first! ”
