ACT173: Infiltration

It took 20 minutes for the "army of escapees" to completely pass, and as soon as everyone came down from the ceiling, their feet fell into a thick layer of rat droppings. These rats are not only frightened and exhausted, but also to the point of dung and urine. And just when everyone felt disgusted, 5 stocky guys stood up in the rat droppings.

Unlike the people hanging from the ceiling, the dwarven mercenaries had to choose to lie down on the ground because of their high weight. Although the fully duplexed armor enveloped them tightly, the smell was still able to seep into the armor, and Scardo and his brothers were nearly killed by the stench of rat droppings.

"I felt like I had fallen into a. ”

"There is no doubt that this is a now. ”

The rat droppings in one place made everyone sick enough, but now they can't back down. In that case, it's clear that something big is going on down there, and it's very likely that Alpha will be involved. In order to save the cute little Loli, Weiss and the others must rush forward bravely even if they know that there is danger ahead.

Judging by the actual size of the underground space, the wave that passed just now will definitely not be the only group, and Weiss believes that in other parts of the underground tunnel, there will also be a large number of rats and cockroaches fleeing in panic.

In fact, these creatures have fled from many places to the surface, causing a lot of confusion in Ramses, and the screams of women and the wails of bitten people in the streets are heard one after another. Armed with batons and pistols, the dwarven cops were no match for the massive underground army, and all the streets were on the verge of collapse.

In this case, Ramses had already asked the garrison on the outskirts of the city for help, and at the same time urgently mobilized a number of steamrollers to take to the streets, which was able to barely control some of the situation.

However, the scratching on the ground, Weiss and the others did not care, they were now using the tracker to quickly move towards the location of the underground base, but as they got closer, a foul smell that was stronger than the smell of rat feces became stronger and stronger, and everyone couldn't stand the smoke, so they could only wear gas masks to deal with it.

As he was advancing, the island wind in front of him who was in charge of pathfinding suddenly flashed in front of Weiss, and although the elusive "ninja-style" appearance of the other party was often scary, but after a long time, everyone got used to it.

"Boss, there was a seriously injured person in front of him, and the other party was dressed very strangely, not like an ordinary person. ”

"Where, lead us there. ”

Under the leadership of Daofeng, everyone soon found the dying seriously injured man, although the clothes on the other party's body were tattered, but it could be vaguely seen that it was a one-piece chemical protective suit. Dressed like this and appearing in the sewers, it's no wonder that Shimakaze says he doesn't look like an "ordinary person" anymore.

The condition of the injured person looked very bad, sitting on the ground and breathing weakly, but after hearing the footsteps, the other party immediately opened his slightly closed eyes and asked Weiss and them for help in a weak voice.

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

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

"I ...... I'm a tourist......"

Weiss stepped forward to support the other party and asked anxiously, his intuition telling him that the other party might know the whereabouts of Alpha. But even if the other party was so embarrassed, he obviously didn't intend to tell him the truth, but unfortunately his lying skills were not high, and even Ling Lan, a natural fool, heard the taste of lies from the other party's evasive tone.

"Sir, if you still want to live, you'd better not try to fool us. Let's find another half-elf girl with sky-blue hair, and your hazmat suit convinces me that you know the truth. Now to be honest, we'll take you out for treatment, don't blame us for leaving you alone!"

Half-truths and half-truths bluffed the other party, and the injured person was obviously frightened by his "cold-blooded words". In the case of being seriously injured, the other party did not dare to let go of this life-saving straw at all, and finally opened his mouth to tell the truth.

"Tell you the truth, don't throw me here......"

It turned out that the other party belonged to a secret unofficial organization called "Iskander". As a peripheral member of this organization, the other party does not know what the specific business of the organization does, but it can be seen from the content and location of their work that their organization must be doing shady things.

The other party does have an impression of the half-elf girl that Weiss said, because from the time the other party was brought back to the base to the present, he is the one who is responsible for cooking and delivering food to the girl.

40 minutes ago, there was a sudden "emergency" at the base, a black fungus with an extremely strong devouring surname invaded the base, and many people who didn't have time to put on chemical protective suits were swallowed by the fungus almost instantly, and there was not even a little residue left. And because he was lucky, he had time to put on two layers of chemical protective clothing, so he escaped from the base by luck.

"The base is on the 8th floor below, but it's full of man-eating fungi, don't go!"

"Are those fungi afraid of fire? Can they be burned?"

"Yes, I just set myself on fire to escape, but there are too many for you to burn. ”

"We didn't expect it to be burned clean, we just had to find a way to go in and save people. Uncle Hammer, please call a brother who knows the way to take him out, and we will move on, and we will rely on your 'sterilization equipment' to open the way later." ”

"No problem!" Scardo replied, patting his flamethrower.

The group advanced a little further, and soon came to a huge shaft with a diameter of nearly 50 meters. Weiss leaned on the side of the guardrail and looked down, and found a large bottomless hole with a spiraling staircase downward. At this time, they noticed that there was a passage directly in front of them that was constantly spewing out of black-brown sticky objects, most of which had fallen underneath, but some were spreading upwards along the walls.

Weiss judged that this was the entrance to the base he was looking for, so he left the group to lead Scardo and another dwarf with a flamethrower, and walked down the stairs to the entrance. When he was about to get close to the fungus, Scardo activated the flamethrower, and the heat flow immediately swept away a large area of fungus in front of him, and everyone forced a way out.

By the time Wess and the others arrived at the base, the frantic growth momentum of these fungi had weakened a lot. Although the magic catalyzes their reproduction rate, it does not provide the nutrients they need to reproduce, and this time it is already running out of stamina.

Under the high temperature, the fungus was cleaned up in patches, and not even a little ash remained. Soon they came to a wide open iron door, which seemed to be filled with mycelium.

"Brother, should we go in now?, we have a lot of fuel canisters, but if there is too much space inside, I'm afraid that the flamethrowers of the four of us won't be able to take care of everyone!"

"Then try it first, and then think of another way. ”

Fortunately, the space inside the door was a corridor, not a wide square, and it didn't take long for Scardo and another dwarven mercenary to clear a space and everyone was able to enter.

As soon as they entered the gate, everyone suddenly had the feeling of stepping directly from the sewers of the Middle Ages into a postmodern laboratory. Although the large mass of flesh-eating mushrooms made a mess around the area, he could still vaguely see the original appearance of the place, and Wiser had been having a strange sense of immediacy since he entered, he felt that he had been to a similar place before, but he couldn't remember anything related to it at all.

"It seems that a lot of people died here, and they must have been eaten by those mycelium. ”

Through some of the "small fragments" left around, Adele found a lot of remains that could no longer be considered corpses. When the base was invaded by flesh-eating bacteria, many people were killed by the fungus before they could react to what was happening, and the guide guns in the hands of the guards were completely ineffective.

Only a handful of important people in the entire base were actually evacuated safely under the protection of the Warlocks, and most of the others were eaten. The top person in charge of the base, Guntel, did not feel any psychological pressure on this, and even took a small sample of mycelium, because he found that this thing was used to kill the mouth and eliminate the evidence!

Relying on the tracker, which was still barely working, it didn't take long for everyone to find the detention cell. Looking at the tightly knit metal gate, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because it meant ...... Alpha may still be alive. (To be continued.) )
