Zhang Dingshan's reaction made Lu Ming slightly surprised. He subconsciously looked at Lu Qingliang in the video screen, and saw that Lu Qingliang had no intention of blocking it.

But......

Do you really have to be so rash?

No matter how you look at it, the risks involved are immeasurable. In such an environment, against the background of such an event, with the information that we have at the moment, we will send personnel to contact it head-on at this stage......

The worry and anxiety in Lu Ming's heart were almost uncontrollable.

He stood up and shouted, "He Wei! ”

He Wei turned her head to look at him, as if she had already understood what he was thinking.

"Where the duty lies."

He Wei only said these four words, and then left directly to do the preparations.

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and sat down slowly. Zhang Dingshan glanced at him and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Everybody has to take their responsibility. Now, it's time for He Wei to come out. ”

Lu Ming sighed silently in his heart.

What is the significance of the formation of the Operations Division of the Planetary Security Agency? What is the significance of the existence of the Action 2 team? Why can you receive so much resource support and enjoy such superior treatment?

On a practical level, you have to pay as much as you get. Ideally, as long as it is beneficial to complete the task, you should not hesitate to do it.

At this moment, apart from He Wei going out and taking this trip in person, is there any other better way for his side?

No.

Then don't say much, don't think too much, just do it. As for what kind of risks this entails, this is not and should not be in the scope of consideration.

Facing Zhang Dingshan's gaze, Lu Ming nodded solemnly: "I understand." If one day, I need to be like He Wei to face danger alone, I will do the same. ”

Zhang Dingshan patted Lu Ming's shoulder again, retracted his gaze, and looked at the monitoring screen again.

At this moment, in the underground garage of Binhai Building, He Wei and three elite soldiers who were specially transferred have gathered.

The underground cave has complex terrain and small space, which is not suitable for too many people to move together. Sending small elite troops in is the most appropriate option. At this moment, there are only these four people who go to carry out this task.

Four full outfits for each person's body type have been prepared. The four of them entered the preparation room.

In this outfit, there are soft and sweat-absorbing underwear, the outer layer is a biochemical protective suit, and the outside is a stab-proof and bulletproof suit.

It is sturdy and wear-resistant, providing adequate protection for the more fragile interior of protective clothing as well as the human body. When rubbing against the rock wall, there is no need to worry about it being damaged.

They each changed into clothes, put on oxygen tanks on their backs, carried various equipment and weapons, pressed the switch, and immediately, the picture captured by the camera on He Wei's helmet appeared in front of Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming. At the same time, body and device data such as residual oxygen content, heartbeat, and blood pressure are also presented.

There are four people in total, and everyone is like that.

With an OK gesture to the staff stationed in the isolation room, He Wei took the lead and entered the underground passage first.

Climb to the bottom with a ladder and the passage becomes flat. After passing through the isolation room in the middle, until they reached the end of the passage, the four of them pulled out the interface from the communication cable tray on their waists at the same time, connected it with the communication interface on the wall at the end of the passage, and fixed it to prevent it from falling off, and then they each knelt down, ready to enter the crack.

The communication cable is only about one decimeter in diameter and only a few centimeters thick. It is covered with extremely thin, but extremely tough, communication cables that can even be used as cables at critical moments, and its length is more than 1,000 meters.

Zhang Dingshan looked at the data channel and replied: "The communication is normal." ”

At this command, the four of them simultaneously began to climb inward along the crack.

From this moment on, this underground cave, which has been sealed underground for an unknown number of years, ushered in the entry of humans for the first time.

Here in the temporary headquarters, the narrow cracks and damp rocks that had been seen many times in the robot dog's detection before were once again presented in front of Lu Ming.

I don't know why, compared with the last robot dog detection, Lu Ming had some more strange feelings in his heart at the moment. It felt like the air pressure had suddenly increased, making him feel like he was straining to breathe. At the same time, I felt inexplicably panicked in my heart, like pressing a stone.

He subconsciously looked out the window. It wasn't until the blue sky and a few white clouds came into view outside the window that that the feeling slowly dissipated.

He realized that the feeling he had before was probably from claustrophobia.

Claustrophobia, most people will have a little bit of claustrophobia. Imagine being imprisoned in a coffin, or trapped in a small underground cave, calling the heavens and the earth not spiritual, that creepy feeling is the feeling that Lu Ming feels at the moment.

The fear of this situation comes from the survival instinct of living beings.

And at this moment, just by watching the footage captured by He Wei's helmet camera, Lu Ming deeply felt this fear.

I didn't have this feeling when I watched the pictures taken by the robot dog before, and perhaps, the pictures taken by He Wei at this moment can make my fellow human beings have ...... A sense of substitution? That's why I empathize?

And no matter what it is, at this moment, if even she can feel such a deep fear, then in that claustrophobic and small space, and facing many risks in the unknown, how much pressure and fear will He Wei herself endure?

Lu Ming didn't dare to imagine.

"He Wei is the most elite warrior, how many winds and waves she has come over, this little thing, small scenes, drizzle, she will definitely not be afraid, it must be fine, I am here to worry about it."

Barely calming his thoughts, Lu Ming tried his best not to think about what he didn't have, and concentrated on the task.

So he saw that He Wei's heartbeat at the moment was almost stable at about 70 beats per minute.

Combined with the fact that he is in a state of exercise at the moment, the heartbeat of 70 beats per minute is quite slow. This means that He Wei is almost not disturbed by the external environment at the moment.

Lu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In this narrow and tortuous crack, the four of them slowly advanced according to the passage that the robot dog had already discovered, and it took almost an hour to reach the edge of the huge underground cavern.

Beneath your feet, there is an underground crack that is not known how deep, as if it is connected to hell.

Here, the four of them were finally able to straighten up and relax their bodies slightly.

But at this moment, an observer suddenly whispered, "Signs No. 3 are abnormal. ”

Well?

Lu Ming immediately turned his head, and from the other screen, he saw the physical data of the No. 3 soldier.

Blood pressure climbed to 170, and the number of heartbeats per minute was 106. It is in stark contrast to He Wei, who is numbered No. 1, and soldiers No. 2 and No. 4, whose blood pressure and heartbeat data have always been stable at around 120 and 70.

"It was normal a minute ago."

The observer said worriedly, "I thought it was normal fluctuations, but the data keeps climbing......"

Zhang Dingshan's tone was a little more dignified: "No. 3, report the status." ”

"Report ...... Report Command, Three, Positive, Normal. ”

There was a slight gasp in his words, as if he was struggling to keep his composure.

Zhang Dingshan ordered in an unquestioning tone: "No. 1, No. 2, No. 4, observe the state of No. 3." ”

In the picture, He Wei and the other two immediately came to the third soldier. After looking at it for a while, He Wei said in a deep voice: "There is a hole about 0.7 centimeters long in the protective suit, which is suspected to have been cut by a rock. ”

A word immediately flashed through Lu Ming's mind.

Phobic toxins!

The protective suit was accidentally broken, and the phobic toxin invaded the body of Soldier No. 3 through the crack, triggering his fear reaction!

"I, I'm fine."

Soldier Three's voice remained steady. But everyone could feel that it was getting harder and harder for him to maintain such a calm tone.

At this moment, Soldier No. 2 had already taken out the tape and pasted the tear on Soldier No. 3's protective suit. But this is clearly not safe.

"This mission is over, all evacuated! Immediately! ”

"Let's go!"

He Wei waved her hand vigorously and crawled back first. Warrior Three followed her with a slight tremble, and Warriors Two and Four broke off at the end.

During the return journey, Soldier No. 3 clearly showed extreme fear. His hands and feet began to be uncoordinated, and his judgment was noticeably reduced. If it weren't for the other three people to escort him, relying on himself alone, I'm afraid it would be unlikely to climb out.

Towards the exit, Warrior Three showed signs of insanity. Through the cameras of the rest of the people, Lu Ming clearly saw that the No. 3 soldier was no longer advancing at this moment, but was howling and struggling there, and even hitting the rocks violently with his helmet. The rest of the group tried to subdue him, but the terrain was too narrow to do so.

The dark and damp underground, the narrow and tortuous cracks, the terrible scream like a ghost crying wolf, and the human body writhing like madness, this scene is full of weirdness and horror.

It may be a great shame for an elite warrior to be so frightened that he is unable to act on his own and fall into madness. But Lu Ming knew in his heart that even Master Zhiguang, whose state of mind had cultivated to the point of "no waves in ancient wells", had been frightened by this fear to the point of a nervous breakdown.

It's not a shame to feel fear in the face of a phobia.

Just when Lu Ming was worried, he saw He Wei take out a syringe from his waist, flick the needle cap with one hand, and pierce the arm of the No. 3 soldier with a fierce needle. It only took a few seconds for Soldier Three to lose consciousness.

The next thing to do was how to transport the unconscious Soldier Three out. It's difficult, because the terrain is too complex and narrow. But there is no insurmountable obstacle, it just takes a little more effort and time.

After another few dozen minutes, the No. 3 soldier was finally pulled out of the crack. One of the fighters picked him up and rushed out into the outside world. The disinfection staff had been on standby for a long time, and after a quick and systematic disinfection, he was handed over to the medical staff.

One of his lives was saved.

The first battle was frustrated, and He Wei had to withdraw from the Marina Building for repairs.

"Too few people are not good for operation. I'll send a few more elite fighters to cooperate with you, and in the second operation, the number of personnel will be increased to six. ”

Zhang Dingshan made a suggestion. He Wei shook his head after thinking for a moment.

"No, don't increase, but decrease. Of course, the damage of the No. 3 soldier's protective suit was due to bad luck, but there were too many people to squeeze out, and the difficulty of movement was also a reason. This time, I'll only take one person with me. ”

"It's just the two of you?"

"That's enough."

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

He believes that He Wei, who is a front-line officer, has enough rational judgment in this matter.

Lu Ming said: "What I noticed is that when I used the robot dog for detection before, the relevant equipment did not detect the presence of phobic toxin. ”

"Indeed."

"There were no robot dogs before, but now they have humans, what does that mean?"

Facing Lu Ming's inquiry, He Wei was silent for a moment, and then said word by word: "That guy Lou Shen knows that we are coming." Moreover, our detection operations have posed a threat to it. ”

Lu Ming nodded: "The next exploration operation may have to directly confront unknown life. Let's bring a few more people. ”

He Wei shook his head again: "Anyway, you can't bring in heavy weapons." If you rely only on light weapons, if two people can't do it, then a few more people won't work, but it is easy to get injured by mistake.

Besides, this time the detection is still mainly detection. If the situation is not good, I will evacuate immediately, come back and make a targeted plan before going in. If there are many people, it is not convenient to evacuate. ”

After resting for a few hours, He Wei and the second soldier set off again.

This time, the two not only put on double protective clothing, but also paid more attention to its protection, and were more careful between actions.

Again, as last time, it took the two of them nearly an hour to reach the edge of the cavern and begin abseiling.

The slope here is more difficult for robot dogs, but for people, it is actually possible to climb it with a little care. It's just that for the sake of insurance, the two still resorted to abseiling, so as to be foolproof.

As the altitude continues to decrease, under the night vision device, more scenery that has never been seen before gradually appears in front of people. But no one paid much attention to the scenery. The goal of the two is very clear, and that is where the "Fungus King" was filmed before.

After abseiling for a distance of about 20 meters, the two ushered in a relatively gentle slope. After walking for a while, a steep cliff reappeared in front of me.

The cliff is so deep that you can't see the bottom and don't know how deep it is. It is so steep that it is impossible to climb with bare hands.

"You stay here and watch the rope. I'll go down. ”

He Wei gave the order to Soldier No. 2.
