The Nicks of Intertwined Fates Chapter 20: The Way Home (II)

Ye Suqin walked cautiously in the deep tunnel, his steps light and soft, like a nimble cat, moving silently. The thick tactical cloak keeps his scent and body temperature from leaking, making it difficult for dangerous creatures that hunt underground with their sense of smell or infrared vision to detect his presence.

Although he is not afraid of metamorphosis and weirdness, these two dangers are not the only ones in the dark world, and there are also wild animals that can still thrive in this harsh environment, and these creatures are even more terrifying than the former.

He leaned low, approaching the signal point on the tactical terminal, with his rifle behind him, which was of little use in this dimly lit environment, and often the encounter was the beginning of a hand-to-hand encounter, and the length of the rifle made it particularly difficult to shoot or when wielding a burning stick.

Pistols are a good choice, but PPK is too powerful to be effective against beasts lurking in the shadows. And in this kind of sealed environment, the sound of gunfire can be transmitted for several kilometers, and there is no doubt that the predators are here.

He was carrying a weapon made from the spot, a steel drill more than a meter long, the tip sharpened, like a steel spear, which could swing or pierce. At the same time, the dagger made of special steel is diagonally inserted into the quick-pull sleeve on the side of the thigh, and from a meter away, the steel drill can block most of the attacks, and within a meter, his dagger is also playing well.

The light in the tunnel was faint, and if you listened closely, you could feel the speed of the wind, but you could only see things one or two meters away, and you could only see a little moving outline of the creatures that were squirming and making sounds in the distance.

Ye Suqin moved along the tunnel wall bit by bit, his speed was not fast, and he was careful enough.

Turning through a gap, it suddenly opened up, and a bright light shone through, it was a half-collapsed platform. With light, it means that the danger level drops sharply, and the creatures that wander in the dark all year round are very afraid of light, so there is a high probability that they will not be attacked by some deliberate beasts, and the field of vision is also more open, and more potential danger signals can be predicted and predicted.

Ye Suqin breathed a sigh of relief and strode over, the platform was very empty, it was clear at a glance, all kinds of traces were unreservedly exposed in front of him, and his good-looking eyebrows jumped unconsciously.

A load-bearing wall that had been smashed into a shallow circle, and the shattered carriage door collapsed with a bang, and the metamorphosis corpse that had been gnawed into a thousand holes.

Every time he detected a trace, Ye Suqin's heart beat involuntarily.

The large traces of blood and the "wounds" caused by the fierce fighting were shocking, obviously there was a high-level battle here more than ten hours ago, and the combat effectiveness of both sides exceeded the limit of Ye Suqin's cognition, and perhaps also exceeded the limit of human beings.

Previously, Taylor said that the person who injected the nano machine would become a superman, but at that time, Ye Suqin just listened with a relaxed attitude, and also regarded it as an exaggerated metaphor, but now it seems that it is not an exaggeration, but a realistic technique.

People who have been injected with genetic enhancement drugs will be very strong, more than the number of ordinary people, it is not too much to call this kind of person superman, Ye Suqin himself is a superman, although he has not injected any genetic medicine, but this body, I don't know if it is because he was affected by the turbulence of time and space when he traveled over, his functions in all aspects are much stronger than ordinary people, but it is far from reaching such a terrifying level.

Ye Suqin squatted down on the side of the burly metamorphosis corpse, pulled out a dagger and carefully dissected the metamorphosis corpse, this kind of high-level metamorphosis, Rao is a seasoned hunter like Ye Suqin, and encounters in the wild are also very rare, all of them are overlords in a vast area, Rao is an alien like him, and he does not dare to swagger in front of them easily, mostly because this kind of metamorphosis has initially possessed wisdom, and is no longer a simple beast. Judging from the internal muscle fibers and bone distribution, it is a power-type monster, with surging power enough to easily break an arm-thick alloy rod, and there is a pool of blood stains in front of it, looking at the color of the blood, it should be human, unbelievable, what kind of human can confront this kind of high-level metamorphosis gong opposite the drum, and it seems that there is a fight, and the final blow will kill the other party.

The fatal wound of metaplasia was the throat, and there were traces of high-temperature burns near the wound.

Ye Suqin held his chin and frowned, there are still too few clues known at present to restore the entire process of the incident, but it is obvious that continuing to explore will only increase the danger.

Judging from the means of the warring parties, neither of them can afford to provoke themselves.

Ye Suqin stood up and threw the two pieces of cloth stained with metamorphosis blood on the ground. Staring into the deep tunnel in the distance, he fell into deep thought, but it didn't last long, and after a few minutes he opened his eyes with a resolute expression.

From the various bullet holes of different models distributed at the scene and the two crashed "tracker" drones, it can be seen which camp one of the warring parties belongs to, and, if the guess is correct, maybe the guy who sent the positioning signal may still be an "acquaintance".

I'll have to go over and have a look.

Ye Suqin made up his mind.

Thump!

Something fell on the roof of the carriage.

Ye Suqin looked up and met a pair of dark red hungry eyes. It was the embodiment of a wolf's body with a bat's face, and its strong muscles and flexibility allowed it to easily climb and move on walls and even ceilings without sound.

At first, Ye Suqin didn't take it seriously, his physique decided that no metamorphosis would be the first to attack him, but this common sense was ruthlessly failed here, and the metamorphosis only hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly opened his bloody mouth and pounced.

What's going on?

Although surprised, the body has already reacted with the brain, the heel is slightly forced, the whole person moved more than ten centimeters horizontally, and moved out from the door of the carriage, and at the same time the left foot gently hooked the edge of the door, stabilized the body that had lost its center of gravity, and gently landed on the track outside the car.

After the bat turned into a landing, it quickly pounced again, and a fishy wind gushed out of its mouth, and the two sharp fangs refracted a deadly light.

Ye Suqin swung his steel drill and slammed it hard, and landed on the opponent's face with a blow, knocking its entire body into a fierce flight. At the same time, he opened the hem and pulled out the gun, fired continuously, and a magazine bullet went down, and the bat turned into a rotten watermelon with a triangular head.

Ye Suqin reined in his thoughts, although the unexpected situation made him slightly frightened, but the battlefield experience that crawled out of the pile of dead people made him calm down quickly.

The nasal cavity squirmed slightly, and strands of pheromones were adsorbed, and after the initial treatment of the various nerve endings, it was obvious that the slight differences were noticed.

Avatars rely on pheromones emitted by their bodies to communicate, and although they occasionally use roaring to send simple signals such as simple encounters, dangers, and hunting, complex communication still relies on pheromones. It's like a butterfly sowing phosphorus powder is the same as a dog peeing casually, except that metamorphoses can rely on pheromones to transmit more content and go further.

Obviously, this is a wild metamorphosis, no, it should be said that it used to be a wild metamorphosis, but at this moment, the visual nerve and brain domain cognition are disturbed by some kind of weird pheromone, and it has become a little indistinguishable from friend and foe.

This pink pheromone with a slightly charming fragrance made Ye Suqin's face sink, as if he had smelled this similar fragrance somewhere.

The pheromones emitted by each metamorphosis often show specific colors after Ye Suqin has been processed by the nasal cavity, although they are still colorless and odorless in a broad sense, but as the "strange kind" of the metamorphoses, Ye Suqin is still able to get close to them and process some simple information, probably because of the factor of wisdom, he has not been disturbed by these charming pheromones.

Pink pheromones have an element of heat and rage, which makes these common avatars extraordinarily active and irritable.

- Looks like things are getting more troublesome!

...........

"Listen, it's like gunshots." Racco was suddenly shaken, and he stood up and looked curiously at the end of the tunnel.

The other two probably heard the movement as well, and hope was rekindled in their hearts.

The door has been flooded with dense corpses, in the past fifteen hours, the metamorphos outside the door have launched several tidal attacks, and even broke through the defense of the gate at the most dangerous time, it was Reko who used his strengthened flesh to cut the intruding metamorphosis with a machete, and only then did he save the danger.

The metamorphosis tide still lingered outside, but the corpses at the door gradually calmed them down, staying in the darkness on both sides of the road, at this distance, the people inside couldn't see the outside clearly, and the thick darkness was their best camouflage and umbrella.

There was no hope of breaking out, and it only took a charge to tear several of them to shreds after they were out of the safe house.

For the past fifteen hours, Rako, Pat, Harry, and random pairs have been guarding the doorway, changing shifts every two hours, taking turns to rest. Rao is like this, his physical strength and spirit are gradually being consumed, and he hardly dares to have any thoughts of taking it lightly, so the mental exhaustion is accumulating more and more.

No. 18 still has no improvement, he is still asleep, if you want to break through, he is the backbone of the backbone, and now the physical condition of the backbone is repeated, without sufficient and perfect medical accessories, whether his physical condition can improve depends largely on luck or miracle. This also exacerbated the level of anxiety in the hearts of the people.

A black shadow crossed, rudely landed on the ground and then slid a few feet away, it seemed that someone threw it hard, and the crosshair was not good, there was still a distance of four or five meters from the gate, several dogs turned into sprang out, agile like a 100-meter runner, riveted enough to rush over, picked up the black shadow and left.

Rako's eyes were quick, and the gun in his hand sent out a series of fiery tongues, and Pat rushed out like a cheetah, not caring that the guns of his companions beside him showed no signs of ceasefire, and rushed outside to grab them.

Bullets flew beside him, and Pat had already gotten the object, a small and chic fanny pack, slightly heavy, obviously with something inside.

"Come back, come back!" Rako greeted with one hand and held a gun in the other, and there were already a few big guys ready to move in the dark, and the automatic rifle magazine in Rako's hand was about to run out of bullets.

"Change the magazine!" The other gun made up for the missing firepower, and Ryco hurriedly loaded the bullet under the cover of the other party, and at the same time the whole person reached out, grabbed Pat, and pulled hard, and the whole person dragged in.

The three of them fell to the ground at the same time, looked at each other, and smiled heartily.

Helping each other to their feet, Harry continued to hold the gate with bullets, unlike Reco, who turned to a single shot, with the butt of the gun resting on his shoulder, and pulled the trigger very rhythmically, and in one fell swoop, it only took a dozen bullets to let the shadows lie dormant again.

Pat's hands trembled violently, and he was a little emotional, and carefully tore the zipper of his fanny pack, revealing a black walkie-talkie lying inside.

This walkie-talkie is obviously an old antique, it should be obtained from local materials nearby, the outer layer of plastic has aged and brittle, and the internal components are also covered with dust to varying degrees. It can be seen that there are traces of simple repairs inside, and the outside is rudely wrapped in plastic tape.

The walkie-talkie emitted a slight electric noise, and it can still be used?

Harry snatched it and looked at it repeatedly, the old-fashioned battery was no longer usable, its energy source was a small miniature electric board, which was a general-purpose accessory produced by Cartlet, with two copper wires on the positive and negative electrodes, which seemed simple, but in case of emergency, it had been handled very properly.

Several people glanced at each other, the fire in their hearts was burning, it was their own people, it was great.

Harry couldn't wait to press the call button, "Hey, hey, can you hear me?" Hey, hey, isn't it? Are you here to save us? ”

"It's me."

The voice, the voice coming from the walkie-talkie, was the last thing the three of them wanted to hear at the moment, and cold water was almost poured down, and the flame of hope that had finally been ignited was extinguished in an instant.

A chill soaked into their bones, no one thought that the plot would unfold in such a strange and wonderful way, and the expressions of the three of them had not even changed from ecstasy, so they froze stiffly.

"Rako, Pat, Harry, long time no see."

Pat was so angry that he wanted to smash the walkie-talkie, but fortunately it wasn't in his hand at the moment, "Are you here to mock us?" He almost squeezed the words out of his mouth.

"He's watching us from afar? Night vision? Rako continued to pull the bolt, venting his anger while not forgetting to snap on a new magazine and load the bullet.

He leaned against the wall, peering out through the only viewing window. It was pitch black outside, and naturally nothing could be seen, and even though the eyes kept wandering away from the best possible viewing points, nothing was found.

Yes, Ye Suqin wants to hide, with their level, it is impossible to be detected, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and he, in the latent field, has always been the best among the students.

But, whether he spotted the other party or not, Rako knew very well that the other party was near him, and very close, and he had this intuition. After all, the other party accurately reported the names of the three of them, if it wasn't for the nearby observation of them, how would they know how many of them were still alive and who they were.

"Tell me exactly what you know." The other end of the intercom spoke again.

The three of them looked at each other, Recco was a little awkward, he didn't look away, Pat hesitated, and then nodded slightly, he and Harry did not have a deep feud with each other, and in the current environment, there was no need. In any case, at this moment, the other party is his own side after all, even if he only stepped into Carterit with half a foot and was not officially registered, but in the current environment of foreign enemies, he is still a comrade with the same hatred and hatred, and he is a reliable partner, although this trust is not even believed by Pat himself.

"Ye Suqin, listen, you can not rescue us, but I hope you will send back to the company headquarters what I am going to say next, although there is some disagreement between us, but at the moment I think we can put it aside, what do you think." Pat pondered his words, completely ignoring Harry, who was blinking at him, and replied nonchalantly.

"How can you say that, damn it, Ye Suqin, don't listen to Pat, you must save us, I can pay whatever kind of reward or price, everything is negotiable, you must save me, you must." Harry grabbed the walkie-talkie and replied impatiently.

"Say," the other party simply replied with a word, concise to the extreme, and considering the little guy's behavior as always, this impolite behavior became acceptable. What's more, his three small lives are still in the other party's thoughts.

Pat organized the vocabulary and recounted the situation they encountered as it was, and Ye Suqin on the other end of the walkie-talkie listened carefully without missing a word.

The current situation is critical, and Pat has no need to hide it, so he told it all, including the origin and ability of the eighteenth, without reservation, he knows that any slight negligence on the battlefield can lead to defeat, especially for an opponent like Dead Leaf Butterfly, any small intelligence error will cause Ye Suqin to fall into death, so he doesn't dare to hide or change it in the slightest.

On the other end, as the outline in his mind gradually became clear, Ye Suqin's brows jumped wildly when he heard it, and a bad premonition repeatedly lingered in his heart.

"- Hey, hey, are you still there? Hey, hey, Ye Suqin, are you still there? Do you hear me? ”

"I'm here, I can get you out, but you have to grant me a request." A cold voice came from the walkie-talkie.

Things went so well that it exceeded the best predictions of everyone here, and the other party was able to save them. But in the end, the other party mentioned that they should agree to a request for him, which made someone's face sink.

Rayco lowered his voice, "If the other party's request is for my life,—— you can agree to him, it's okay." Rako shrugged his shoulders freely, with a nonchalant expression, but the twitch of the corners of his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

Pat walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll convince him to change his mind, I don't know how sure it is, but I'll try." ”

"It's okay, it's really okay, it's great that you guys got out alive." Rayco grinned dryly.

"If he asks you to leave me to fend for myself, you keep the explosives for me, and if he lets you kill me, you let me kill myself with dignity."

This was said so righteously that even Harry's eyes turned red unconsciously.

In the small room, a feeling of life and death was spreading, and the three of them had gloomy faces, like mourning. kept chattering about the arrangements for the aftermath, and suddenly the walkie-talkie spoke, "It's okay to save you, but you have to help me take someone away." I mean escorting her to the headquarters in peace. Uh-huh-I'm not sure if she's still alive at the moment, and if she's dead, then forget it, that's what I'm asking for, can you agree? ”

The unexpected request suffocated everyone, and it turned out to be such a simple request, unbelievable.

Rako pounced, grabbed the walkie-talkie, and shouted frantically, "What are you talking about, what are you talking about?" He still couldn't believe that the other party would make such a simple request, which made the psychological construction he had wasted all his efforts useless. So he repeated a sentence over and over again like crazy, and he wanted to make sure that what the other party was saying was not the truth.
