Chapter 464: Infiltration (2)
[Thanks to "Little Pig" and "Another set" for the two big monthly passes.] The day before yesterday, I went to see the dragon boat, it was raining, I had a little cold, and the runny nose felt really uncomfortable]
A ball of grass the size of a blue ball rolled on the ground and eventually stopped the barbed wire. There were black, heavy military boots stepping on this ball of grass, and Zero kicked it away, and easily tore off a corner of the barbed wire with his hands, ignoring the sign that read "Do not touch in danger" hanging on the barbed wire. After years of abandonment, the city has lost any electricity supply, so the high-voltage current that the barbed wire fence is supposed to have is completely non-existent.
And even if it exists, zero has a way. After all, the high-voltage electricity of the old era is still difficult to defeat those with this level of ability.
Behind the barbed wire fence was an overgrown wasteland, where the wind whistled in the dark night, causing the weeds to sway. From afar, it looks like the swinging arm of an evil spirit that has risen from hell.
Zero walked quietly through the grass, and it didn't take long for a broken track to be seen. The rails stretched ahead, and Zero knew there should be an EMU platform not far away. Maps previously seen show that a sewer near the platform provides covert access to the edge of the city, which is where Zero is headed. So he walked along the tracks, and after 5 minutes, he saw the outline of the station. With the faint vision of his right eye, Zero happened to catch a shadow wandering the platform.
It's a humanoid creature.
Walks upright like a human, but on a crocodile-like head, there are bone spurs that extend from the center of the eyebrows to the dorsal vertebrae. Its arms are so long that they almost touch the ground. There is no visual organ visible on its head, but there is an eye on its shoulder and chest that rolls, providing the creature with almost no blind spots. Despite being humanoid, its legs are anti-articulation. As you can imagine, this will make it run fast.
The monster that did not appear on any of the materials of the Golden Tomahawk was still hovering by the platform at this profound moment, like a sentry?
Zero didn't rush into the platform, he burrowed into the grass, sneaking through it like some kind of reptile. He didn't act recklessly, Zero's movements were quiet and gentle. And when the wind blows, he will suddenly accelerate when the weeds shake. Under the cover of the grass, Zero came to the vicinity of the platform. He was motionless, like a patient hunter. After making sure there was no second creature on the platform station, Zero waited.
Another gust of wind blew, and the grass rustled. With no hands and feet, he sprang out like a humanoid lizard. The sound of the wind drowned out the air that Zero had brought with him as he swooped in, and when the sentry reacted, a saber appeared out of thin air in Zero's hand and plunged into the monster's head. Zero landed behind the sentry with a somersault, his hands around his head and a quick turn.
The sound of a broken neck sounded softly, but the sentry still seemed to be dying.
Terrible life force.
While sighing, Zero Leg swept and put the sentry on the ground. With both hands on its neck, he pulled it up, and pressed his right knee against its dorsal vertebrae. Another sound of a broken bone came from the sentinel's body, and the vertebrae were all around, so that it finally stopped any activity.
After making sure the sentry was dead, Zero dragged it into the grass so that it wouldn't be found on the platform by its kind, thus knowing that someone had invaded.
After doing all this, Zero found the sewer indicated by the map. Open the manhole cover and go down the stairs along the wall of the manhole. The sewer is very dry, and there is no half a trace of standing water. But there was a strange smell wafting in the air, and it was very unpleasant. Zero took out the tactical helmet from his backpack and put it on, and turned on the two functions of air purification and night vision mode, his breathing was smooth, and the things in the sewers were also clear at a glance.
On the ground not far away, a dead rampaging gopher was lying quietly on the ground. This is the most common mutant beast found in the Underground Space, and the Raging Gopher is the size of a puppy, with claws that can scratch through metal plates and jagged teeth. These creatures are very irritable, and the prey they target usually dies miserably.
And now, the dead gopher corpse has decomposed. Zero saw the fat maggots moving on its corpse, and the strange and disgusting smell probably came from the gopher's corpse.
Raging gophers are social creatures, and since there is a gopher carcass on the ground, it means that there will be at least one gopher nest in the sewer. This made Zero very unhappy, and although he was not afraid, he didn't want to destroy his Jihua because of these little things.
Due to the special space of the sewer, if you use a gun, you may be so loud that even the deaf can hear it. And the battleship artillery, although quiet, was too powerful. Especially if you shoot a shot in a complex environment like a sewer, I am afraid that the noise is enough to attract the attention of those alien beings in the city.
So Zero had to flip through his backpack again to see what tools Brown had prepared for him.
There are also a lot of tools in the backpack, everything from safety cables to alloy shears, and even a pocket-sized jack, which makes Zero smile wryly. Brown was indeed attentive, and overly attentive, and did not match his rugged appearance at all. After looking for a while, Zero found a label on the side pocket of the backpack with the words "Special Props" written on it.
Zero-open side pockets, which are mostly small tools. There is also a wrench with a ring of alloy wire hidden in the wrench. The alloy wire is as thin as a human hair, but it is extremely sharp. Moreover, there is a pocket axle wheel in the wrench, which can automatically retract the drawn alloy wire, which is also convenient to use. So Zero put this special wrench on his hand and moved on.
Turning a corner, Zero came to an abrupt stop. Not far ahead, a huge gopher was facing away from Zero, and as if sensing someone behind it, the gopher turned around. So in the helmet's night vision mode, Zero saw a few bits of cyan light, which were the eyes of a rampaging gopher.
Zero quietly pulled the alloy wire on his wrench, and the gopher sniffed in the direction of Zero, and then rushed towards Zero like a chicken. These things have a very sensitive sense of smell, and even if they are wearing a one-piece tactical suit, they don't want to hide from the body odor recognition system of the rampaging gopher.
The gopher came and pounced. Its mouth opened wide, revealing a row of giant fangs. The blood disc bites towards Zero's neck, which is the most common attack method of the rampaging gopher, biting the main artery of the prey in one fell swoop, followed by biting with the mouth and tearing with the claws, and soon turning the prey into a corpse. But Zero is not a prey, but a hunter.
As the gopher pounced, Zero suddenly lowered himself and raised his hands. Between his hands was a wire of alloy, which was just the height of his neck.
So the gopher bit the air, and the castration continued, so it rubbed the alloy wire hard, and let the deadly wire dissect itself from the middle. When the gopher landed, it had turned into two corpses, blood and intestines flowed all over the ground, and the strong vitality still made it twitch its claws like a nervous reflex, and it died immediately!
Zero has no time to pay attention and move forward quietly. He knew that the smell of blood from his own would soon attract other rampaging gophers, and sure enough, a few moments later, a series of "rustling" sounds sounded in the sewers. It didn't take long for a dozen gophers to appear in the corners of the sewers. They were never picky about their food, so some of them had already buried their heads in biting the carcasses of their kind, while the others smelled Zero and ran after them.
In the dark sewers, the alloy wire whipped like a whip on a gopher, cutting the big mouse in half. The thread bounced back, Zero grabbed one end, and turned around in a staggered step. The thread was wrapped around and wrapped around the second rat that swept towards his waist. Zero pulled hard in the opposite direction with both hands, and the silk thread suddenly pulled straight, and cut off the gopher's head.
After the head hit the ground, the guy's big mouth still opened and closed, as if he wanted to bite something.
After killing the two gophers, Zero put away the alloy wire, then climbed the iron ladder on the wall and gently pushed open the manhole cover on his head. After confirming that there were no signs of biological activity in the vicinity, he left the sewers. And if someone were to appear in the sewers at this time, they would find the sewers full of rampaging gopher corpses.
Zero almost all the way over, from the station platform of the EMU to the subway station, on the short road surface, there were at least thirty or so gopher corpses lying in various shapes. These short-sighted things take Zero as their prey, but they don't know that they are actually chasing hunters, and they are also the kind of skilled ones. In the end, they learned their lesson, but at the cost of death.
It was eerily quiet in the subway station, with a scrapped subway train tipping over and half of its body pressed against the edge of the platform. The platform was badly damaged, and even the passage on the west side had collapsed and became impassable. Gravel and steel lay silent on the ground, quietly recounting a tragic scene that had happened at some point in the past.
The few human remains that can still be seen are showing small half-sections in the stone pile, which should be poor people who were crushed by the debris of the collapse at the time of the disaster. They may die at that time, but without any help, they can only slowly die in hunger, pain and despair.
The process was slow and clear, and Zero believed that at that time, they probably wished that they would have died in the event of a disaster, so that they would not have to endure the long ordeal that followed.
And under the pile of stones, I am afraid that there are more corpses. And this subway station is the grave of these corpses!
Zero didn't want to stay in the grave, so he leaned on the half of the sign that could still be seen at the station, and he walked towards the passage on the east side. There are several branches at the entrance, one of which leads to a nearby supermarket. And what is outside the supermarket, Zero does not know. On the map provided by the Golden Tomahawk, there is a blank space outside the subway station.
It seems that there is an invisible boundary, separating the two shijie inside and outside the subway station.
After 10 minutes, Zero had found the exit of the side road leading to the supermarket. He can observe the entire city from the upper floors of the mall before deciding to continue his route towards the city center. But just as he was looking for the exit, he heard some subtle noises, and several figures of different shapes. Zero sighed and pulled the alloy out again. This thing is not very sharp after killing dozens of gophers, and Zero hopes that there will not be too many sentinels at the exit of the mall.
When Zero exited the subway exit, there were already three more alien corpses around the bend below the passage. Next to the corpse, there was a wrench. The wrench has completed its mission, and after killing the three aliens, the alloy wire has broken. One of them, which was shaped like an alien and had no indication of what kind of creature had evolved from, was surprisingly strong.
The alloy wire easily tore through its flesh, but it got stuck in its bones, so that with zero force, the alloy wire was torn off. Zuihou still turned a dagger out of nothing, and cut off several arteries and blood vessels of this alien creature, so as to really kill this monster. However, the surface of the materialized dagger also bubbles, which is caused by the corrosive nature of the alien blood.
Looking at the alien-like creature, Zero's mood grew heavier. This creature has already shown basic abilities such as liliang, defense, and speed around the fourth order, and is already a good fighter for humans. But even such creatures were only sent to serve as sentinels, and it can be inferred that those regular soldiers of the alien race were of a higher rank.
As long as there is a fifth or sixth order, it is already very enough, and you must know that those intelligent races near the Silver Frost Dense Forest, those who have more than the fourth order are already very remarkable. And like the city of Pydes, it is already the top existence among the aliens near the Silver Frost Forest. But the most powerful warrior among them is only at the level of the sixth or seventh order, in other words, on the western battlefield, such a role is only a regular soldier, at most a soldier at the level of a non-commissioned officer.
In this way, with the Shadow Canyon as the boundary, the differences between the alien races on the east and west sides have become extremely huge. This reminded Zero of what Casirio had said, and although he remembered it in his heart at the time, it was only at this moment that he really understood the location of the word "difficult" in Casilio's words.
The previous waves of attacks, including those of the Pelidons, may not be the true liliang of the alien alliance. And the so-called three noteworthy alien races in the Golden Battle Ax data should only be marginal combat power. In other words, since the beginning of the war, the city's alien coalition has never used real Liliang. This made Zero feel that maybe this time, even Tyr, the god of war, was taking these aliens lightly.
And after more than half a year of fighting, they still retain their strength, and these alien races are like something brewing in the city. And whatever it is, it's going to be a storm.
A deadly storm!
Zero tidy up the mood and keep walking up through the emergency passage of the mall. However, it is impossible to continue to pass until you reach the fifth floor, because the floors above the fifth floor have collapsed, and the rubble has blocked the way. Zero had to retreat to the fifth floor and enter the mall through the security gate of the escape route.
The fifth floor of the mall is a clothing store, and large and small clothing stores show the prosperity of the past in the dark. The wardrobes, models, and clothes that fell to the ground make it easy to imagine the chaos at the moment when disaster strikes. Regardless, the mall is quiet now, and the alien coalition forces have not arranged for sentries to haunt the mall on the fifth floor.
After all, they probably didn't expect humans to sneak in and get here. So Zero safely came to the window of the mall facing the city, and looked down, what Zero saw was a city full of life.
It's just that the vitality of the city no longer comes from human beings, but from different races of life evolved from various creatures!
