(2-in-1)

Kyungwon pointed the muzzle of his rifle in front and pulled the trigger.

In the darkness, sparks erupted, blood bloomed in front of them, and the bullet hit the mutant leech's head, their fragile skin could not resist the bullet, and the rifle fired, and soon the mollusk fell, bleeding like ink from the wound.

In front of this corpse, there is also the body of a leech, which was knocked down by Kyungwon a few minutes ago.

After picking up the gun, he used it to attack, and he came across many corpses of soldiers, and looted useful things from those corpses, so he had plenty of ammunition and could hold out for a long time even if he didn't stop firing.

It's just that a firearm is not a very good weapon in such a space, usually he has to fire seven or eight shots to kill a leech, and when the gunfire echoes, it will also attract nearby leeches.

It is much easier to cut with a knife, and when the plastic blade of the flora cuts the body of these leeches, it does not make a loud noise, and he can cut the leech in half with one or two knives.

But he carried a woman who had fallen on his back and a puppy in his pocket, and there was a risk of injuring them in close combat, so he tried to kill the leeches with ranged weapons without making contact with them.

The light of the flashlight illuminates the hollows in front of them, all of which are covered with the same moldy black fungus, and the difference is almost invisible, and the scenery here is the same, monotonous and boring, and the narrow and cramped dark space makes people feel depressing.

Kyungwon stopped at the fork in the road and carefully discerned the road ahead.

He was lost, he couldn't feel the wind, it seemed that the place was completely closed off from the outside world.

Without the guidance of the wind, he doesn't know where to go, but he still has to move forward.

But he went around in a circle, and returned to the fork in the road a few minutes ago, and the corpse in front of the cave was evidence.

Something was wrong, he felt tired, mentally tired and physically tired.

He shouldn't feel tired so quickly, he has rested a lot in the past two days, and in terms of food, there is no shortage of food, just walking for an hour with an adult woman on his back, even if he walks on the sticky mold, he shouldn't feel so tired.

It's not a physical problem, it's something else.

At the end of the day, it's weird that he's going to fall.

This is not like a sudden accident, if it was because of heavy rain, causing the soil layer to collapse, it should have collapsed in the early years, and the rain in September last year was much heavier than the current rain, but the park did not collapse.

At this time, after he drove into this area, it was clear that HSA had no problem pulling up a tent here, but as soon as he came, the land collapsed, as if he was deliberately locked up.

He'd tried to get Red to find him, but Red was kept out of the tissues, and it couldn't get through the sticky mold.

It's like the snake spirit being imprisoned in the companion gourd of the seventh baby, as if his physical strength is constantly depleted as time goes by, and when he can't hold on anymore, he will fall down and then melt into a puddle of pus.

Isn't that what those soldiers are? After falling in, he died quickly, without external injuries, as if he had been poisoned.

Gradually, he developed a similar poisoning, and he was so sleepy that he wanted to sleep.

He was trapped in the labyrinth, the large fungus beasts were fighting the invaders outside, and the small fungus beasts, it was useless to enter this space, they would get lost when they entered, and they also devoted their energy to control them, which was easy to confuse his thoughts.

The sound of the water was getting clearer and clearer, and the water was spilling from under his feet, and a few minutes ago there was a shallow layer of water, and after a few minutes, the water flooded the soles of Kyungwon's shoes, reaching his ankles, and even he walked with the sound of treading water.

At first, he didn't really care, it was cold and damp in the first place, thinking that it was the water that existed here, until the water level rose at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and he became alert.

Icy water, I don't know where it came from.

There is an artificial lake in the park, and there is water in the lake, which may have been caused by a change in the topography that caused the water to flow towards the area, or an underground river that was diverted to it.

The water level is rising very fast, and you have to go up.

He chose another path at the fork in the road and walked a little further, this time not returning to the starting point, but he did not find the exit either.

The water level was rising, and soon it was at the calf level.

"Are we going out?"

Su Wanqing looked at the water surface illuminated by the flashlight, the water was very turbid and mixed with mold, and every time Jing Yuan took a step forward, the water waves would ripple.

Her consciousness seemed to be unconscious, she didn't realize that her surroundings had not changed, and when she heard the sound of water, she thought she was in another place.

"It's coming, it's almost time to get out."

Kyungwon loosened her belt a bit and put her body up a bit so that the water level would not continue to rise and flood her feet and body.

The water was so cold that suddenly touching such cold water would cause her hypothermia and, in severe cases, even shock and cramps.

As the minutes ticked by, the water level kept rising, and the water was not pure river water or groundwater, but had the pungent smell of chemical products, and being soaked in the water made Kyungwon feel very uncomfortable and made him more and more sleepy.

He had to pick Su Wanqing up, and then carry her on his back, which would make her soak in the water.

In fact, no matter what she says, maybe there is a chance to leave.

It's good to dive, to be able to dive to where the water comes in and leave from there.

Xiaobai can find a helmet, put it in it, seal it with clothes and take it away, but Su Wanqing is a big living person, those clothes can wrap a helmet, but it can't be waterproof, there is no air, she will die in three minutes, maybe not three minutes, so cold water, she may pass out directly.

There is no way to dive with her, so you can only lift her up like this to make her feel better.

Kyungwon stopped, with a flashlight strapped to his head, and looked like a cave worker, exploring the mine with a miner's lamp hat.

But he didn't stop because he found the gold mine, the pillar of light illuminated the water in front of him, and the water submerged into his chest, and he lifted Su Wanqing high above his head to prevent the woman from submerging in the water.

There was nowhere to go, he was in a cavity in the hive, all the passable cavities were submerged, and he could only stand here.

Xiaobai stepped on his shoulder and suddenly looked in a certain direction.

It was a mutant leech, a weak mutated leech poked its head out of the water and swam towards him, such a weak creature, he didn't need to be afraid, but he couldn't spare his hands.

He stared back at the mutated leech that was slowly swimming towards him, and suddenly the leech struggled in place, it tried to swim forward but couldn't swim, and then the next second, it was pulled into the water by something, and it didn't make a sound.

Kyungwon raised his vigilance, fearing that it was a monster more terrifying than a leech.

But suddenly a hole was torn open in the wall of his side, and water flowed out of the hole, and the water level slowly descended, from his chest to his waist.

It was an arrow, and he saw an arrow.

A very obvious arrow, the mold protrudes from the wall of the fungus, forming an arrow to point him in the direction.

It can't be a naturally formed arrow, is it Ji Shou's will? Is he helping?

It had to be him!

He helped get rid of that leech!

Kyungwon walked in the direction of the arrows, not believing in the arrows, he couldn't get out, it was better to try.

One arrow after another appeared in front of him, constantly telling him which hole to go towards, which was the right direction, because the water level was going down, and he followed these arrows, and kept going up.

The leeches attracted on the way don't need to be touched by him, and they will be restrained by mold before they can get close to him.

As if he had opened a plug-in, he followed the shortest route and stayed away from this level.

After crossing a dozen arrows, he saw the end of the water level, and finally took a step forward, he left the puddle and stepped on the soft fungus blanket.

The arrow was gone, and he climbed up the slope, the passage so quiet that he could hear the sound of dripping water, and looking back, it was still dark and silent.

Looking back, it seems that in the most critical moments, there was always help from that person.

What can be seen around is no longer a wall structure made of mold, but also dirt and concrete.

This nest can't be suspended out of thin air, it must be formed by attaching something outside, then there must be something like dirt on its edge, and in this passage, Kyungwon can see mold growing and attached to the dirt, indicating that this is the edge of the huge nest.

When you come to this environment, you are very close to the exit, and you will be able to leave it soon.

I'm almost exhausted, but I'm glad I have him to help.

The last time he was in the sewers, he was the one who illuminated the dark world with a kerosene lamp, and this time there was no kerosene lamp, but thanks to him, he was able to escape from the nest.

"Where is this?" Su Wanqing spoke in a daze.

"The front is the exit, hold on a little longer!"

Kyungwon walked forward with her in his arms, and he felt the wind coming from the passage, and the wet wind blew on his face!

The wind was blowing from outside, carrying with it the smell of dirt and rain, as well as the pungent smell of a sour chemical mixture already found in the city center.

There must be an exit ahead!

This time it's not a word of comfort, it's the truth!

"Export." Su Wanqing blinked and looked around.

I don't know how far I walked, but I could see traces of man-made buildings around me.

Collapsed walls, broken water pipes, barbed wire, flattened cars.

They came to an open space, which used to be an underground parking lot, surrounded by a lot of cars, perhaps because of the earthquake.

Since it is a parking lot, it means that it is very close to the ground, and the general parking lot is built on the second or third floor underground, and the wind blows, which means that there is a place to go out.

There was still mold attached to the walls, but not much.

It's just that the exit is right, they are out of danger, there is an abandoned car in front, the doors are crowded, the entire rear body is flattened by collapsed cement blocks, but the front car is empty.

Jing Yuan pulled off the door of the car in front of him, gently put Su Wanqing and Xiaobai on the seat, and took out the communicator to see if he could connect to the signal from the outside world.

He didn't know much about this thing, but Su Wanqing was an expert, and she could understand it.

"There's a signal!" She was pleasantly surprised: "They must have located my location, and I will contact the rescue immediately!" ”

She suddenly became energetic, after all, she was out of danger, and the communicator could receive a signal, indicating that she was really out of danger, and the joy of the rest of her life after the disaster couldn't stop overflowing from her face.

As she said, as long as she makes it back alive, then everything she sees becomes meaningful.

And with her as a guarantee, Jingyuan can continue to cooperate with HSA, she is an important person with a lot of voice, and with her help, Jingyuan will have a greater probability of winning.

Judging from the scarred wounds on her body and her current performance, she is not infected by mold, she is really infected, Jingyuan can also exchange blood for her, fractures and injuries on her body, so that she will not die, as long as she can board the rescue plane, then she will be safe, and she can be regarded as living up to the trust of the macho brother.

The communicator was dialed, Jing Yuan held the phone for Su Wanqing, she talked to the other party in a weak voice, she said that she was still alive and needed rescue, that she was not in danger of life, that the accident was not caused by the target person, but that the other party saved her, and she could vouch for this matter.

Everything was moving for the better, but suddenly something in the darkness made a heartbeat-like sound.

Knock knock.

The voice was so clear and beating so powerfully.

The sharp wind cut over, and at the last moment, Kyungwon turned his head to dodge the attack

In his place was the door that he had ripped off, the steel door pierced by the tail thorn, fragile as a piece of paper.

The strong smell of chemicals, finally knowing where the smell came from, those huge sponge balls stacked on top of each other, they were the source of the smell.

The sound of a heartbeat came from there, too, and the surface of the sponge balls grew out of deformed tumor-like biological tissue, like a mess of invisible flesh.

The tail spike is pierced from its body, its body tissue is fused with the sponge ball and the surrounding environment, it cannot move, and can only attack with those few mutilated tail spines.

At the same time, there was the sound of oozing leeches wriggling behind him, and an astonishing number of leeches wriggled from the mouth of the passage.

The flashlight lit up the surroundings of the sponge ball, and he saw the traces of the explosion, the underground parking lot did not collapse because of the earthquake, it was because of the bombing, and it was a bombing many years ago, the traces of those explosions were very old, and even the smell of gunpowder in the air was about to dissipate.

He is indeed close to the ground, and the exit is close at hand, but like all dungeon-style RPG adventure games, you have to defeat the dungeon's boss to get out of the exit.

Instead of directing him to an unhindered path, the arrows pushed him to the boss room.
