Chapter 50: The Annihilated Atlantis
When Andy came to his senses again, he found himself being dragged by Lucas through the darkness.
"Are you awake?"
Lucas looked back to find Andy looking up, no longer sleepwalking, and immediately reacted.
"What's going on?"
"It's a long story.... At that time, it was Sito who kicked me down, and I think he killed everyone else..."
Andy thinks back to the giant monster that was unintentionally released by Sito, and the fall of Sito before Asley was knocked down... and Johnson's inexplicably torn protective clothing and the bizarre disappearance of Watten, who suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"So why is that..... Johnson, what do the others think? ”
Lucas shook his head.
"No one knows, maybe if what they say is true, then the ancient ruins they found when they went to the Mojave Desert earlier have broken their brains.... They're not here to make money at all...."
Lucas let go of Andy's hand and stopped to catch his breath.
"When I woke up from the black water, I was almost eaten by those fish monsters, and then I ran here and found some terminals, which seemed to be the control host of this experimental area, and I found some records, about the analysis of the spring water below by the Holy Spring Company, and the record that they used the strange ingredients in the extract of a black unidentified fish found in the spring water to enhance the effect of the spring water....."
As he spoke, he hurriedly grabbed Andy's shoulders and shook them wildly.
"We've got to find our way out quickly.... I didn't know what I did at the time, it seems that the countdown to the explosion of the reactor here has begun.... Sito went completely crazy after hearing me about it before, he jumped into the black water of the same place, and when he climbed out again, he was like that..."
"Whew-"
A terrifying roar suddenly came, and in Andy's frightened gaze, a pair of bloated black arms stretched out from behind and dragged Lucas down, and a burst of screams came, and he was quickly dragged away by the arms towards the back, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Lucas!"
Andy shouted, but there was nowhere to find the man, and where the Pip-Boy was illuminated, there was a large group of those black half-human, half-fish monsters shuttling around, their cyan eyes reflecting the light.
"Babble..... Babbling ....."
They watched Andy, sticking their recurved mouths out, and uttering a constant scream from the mucus-filled mouth with sharp teeth.
Andy shot repeatedly, and the powerful .44 bullets broke the monster that pounced on him in two, but the number of people rushing behind him was still increasing, and in desperation, Andy turned his head and ran wildly outside, and a new prompt popped up on the page of the beep boy.
[Escape from Atlantis Tower within 30 minutes]
A new route was mapped, and Andy ran along it, but suddenly there was a roar from the rubble beside him, and five or six mutant moles squeaked and swarmed into one of them, but before Andy could react, they ignored Andy and continued to rush inside.
Along the way, Andy witnessed mutated creatures of all sizes running in opposite directions to Andy, rushing towards the black spring deep in Atlantis.
He ran almost unconsciously along the route pointed out by the Pip-Boy, his heart almost jumping out of his throat, and his adrenaline was secreting like crazy.
A violent tremor came from below, and there was a violent earthquake around it, and the rocks continued to collapse down.
Andy dodged left and right, and ran farther and farther away by relying on the convenience of judgment time provided by V mode.
Soon after, he jumped into the underground pipe gallery again, and he couldn't figure out where this section was, when a violent roar came from behind, and Andy looked back, and it was an unknown block of buildings that fell directly from above because of a violent earthquake.
The thick gate had been deformed by the external force, revealing a gap, and several pieces of gold shiny things rolled out of it.
Andy strode over and found that it was actually gold bars, but only two pieces were in front of him, and more gold bars were still in the semi-enclosed area, but before he could think about it, another violent vibration came from below, and there was a terrible cracking sound from the roof of the pipe gallery, and the thick cracks began to spread everywhere and gradually expanded.
Before he had time to think about it, Andy casually threw the gold bar into the beep boy and ran wildly.
The pace under his feet gradually became more difficult, as the level of the black water was rising, and the black water, which had been knee-deep before, was now almost waist-deep.
Pip-Boy pointed to a small isolation door, and Andy rushed over and pulled it open, only to find that the door could not be fully opened due to the deformation of the door frame.
Pip-Boy popped up a new hint.
【Looking for a way to open the door or looking for a new exit】
There was a sudden unusual sound in the black water behind him, Andy estimated that it was those black fishmen again, he didn't have time to think about it, he grabbed the isolation door and roared, using all his strength to drag it outward, after a series of tooth sore sounds, he successfully ran in.
Inside is a stairwell, the black water behind him is still pouring in, Andy sprints along the stairs in three steps and two steps, some gurgling water sounds come from below, look down from the gap in the handrail of the stairs, sure enough, there are many black fish people continue to pursue.
1st Floor... 2nd floor....
Andy couldn't count how many flights of stairs he had climbed, only that there were still a few floors in the middle that were close to destruction, and he jumped up and down like a monkey to make it to the top, and the fish-men behind him effectively acted as a catalyst and allowed him to shoot the last of his bullets.
Eventually, a tin door appeared directly above, but it was locked.
It was useless to push a few hard, and seeing that the voice below was approaching, Andy's eyes were already red with anxiety.
There were no more bullets in the pistol in his hand, and he swung his fist and smashed it towards the door lock without reservation, and it didn't take long for blood to splash everywhere, his skin cracked, and the fist even exposed his bones, but at this moment it was pointless to keep it.
After a crisp sound, the iron door was finally hammered open.
Andy jumped in a squat and grabbed the bulge above with both hands and pulled himself up hard, and escaped from the inside, Andy found that the outside was a small sentry box-like thing, and the place where he escaped was under an iron door tiled on the ground in the corner of the floor of this small sentry box.
A black arm stretched out from inside, and Andy ran over and kicked the hand open, then closed the iron door again, holding it down with the table and chairs in the room.
Panting, Andy took off his protective suit with difficulty, and his body was covered with red spots and black water stains, and it was obvious that the protective ability of this suit was very poor.
He walked outside and sat naked on the ground under the sunny sun, and the impressive mound in the distance was constantly making some ominous sounds, and finally began to sink towards the ground after a roar that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, and the small sentry box behind Andy also collapsed, and after Andy left the settlement range in embarrassment, it became a deep pit filled with sand.
Standing in the desert with a degrading look pinching his waist, Andy pulled out the two gold bricks from the Pip-Boy.
"It's ok.... At least not in vain...."
The gold glows brightly in the sun, and a line is engraved on it: 400 ounces of pure gold.
There is also a new hint from the Pip-Boy.
