Zero jumped off the ventilation pipe first, and after falling to the ground, he quickly inspected the warehouse. The warehouse is not large, only a hundred square meters. Stacked with shelves and two wooden boxes. The outer wall of the wooden box has fallen off, revealing a shockproof layer from the inside, as well as several cans, which are supposed to contain food. The warehouse's moving door was closed, and several shelves were piled up on the ground blocking the door, as if to prevent anything from coming in from the outside.

After turning around and eliminating all possible dangers, he said to Beonlis: "Come down, I'll catch you." ”

The ventilation duct is about five meters above the ground, which is not high, but it is not short. But Beonise didn't let Zero catch it, she smiled lightly and jumped off. When he landed, he rolled and unloaded, bounced up, clapped his palms and smiled: "I'm not a pampered eldest lady, I'm fine on weekdays, and I also train my physical fitness, marksmanship and fighting skills." Don't underestimate me. ”

Zero smiled and said, "This place is full of unknowns, you'd better not be reckless." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll be wronged once, let you protect me. With that, Beonise pursed her lips and laughed.

Out of the corner of her eye, she focused on the corpses on the ground, and the light flickered. Four or five corpses had become dried corpses, and their clothes had even stuck to the shelves or boxes beneath them because of the corpse fluid. The corpses looked terrified, and although they were scattered, their heads were facing the same direction.

Zero walked over and stood at the point where their eyes met. He looked at the blocked gate again and muttered, "It's strange. Judging by the situation at the gate, they should be trying to prevent something from entering. But it wasn't until they blocked the gate that they seemed to notice that something to guard against had come in. This thing killed them, but there was no sign of the gate being reopened, and where did that thing leave after killing them?"

"What could it be?" Beonlise asked.

Zero shook his head: "I don't know, there are too few clues to judge." Anyway, we have to be careful. ”

The two went to the door again, and Beonlise took Zero's hand and said, "Look over there, there seems to be a floor plan." ”

On the wall to the left of the gate hangs a schematic plan. The surface of the floor plan is covered with dust, and many places are no longer visible. Zero wiped it casually, and only then did he see a rough idea. The base has a strange name, "White Blood Cell 03". Judging by the numbers, there should be more than one such base.

The base is divided into seven areas: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, with areas A to F distributed around the base, presenting irregular terrain. Area G is located in the center of the site and is in the shape of a perfect circle. These areas are divided by function, like Zero Two is located in Area D, which is the material reserve area. Others include evacuation areas, generator sets, energy zones, weapons development zones, biochemical research laboratories, etc. In the middle of the G area is the central control room, which is the core area of the entire base.

On the floor plan, Zero also found some elevators and emergency access to and from the base. However, these signs are marked with a red X, and it is not known whether this means that the channel has been closed. With the plan firmly in his mind, Zero clicked to one of the places on the map and said, "Let's go see it here." ”

Where the finger landed, there was an emergency passage not far from the warehouse. Exiting the warehouse where the two of them were located was an east-west passage. Walking towards the west side of the passage, you will pass a security room and two other transit warehouses. At the end of the passage there is an exit sign, but it is marked with a red cross. I don't know what the red cross means, so Zero needs to confirm it in person, and this passage is the closest to their location.

Beonise naturally had no opinion, so Zero easily removed the shelves that blocked the door and opened the mobile door. Behind the gate was a long passageway, and the cold air was blowing, and the air smelled of dust, and I don't know how long this base had been closed.

Zero's right eye automatically adjusts to night vision mode, and with the light on Beonlise's tactical suit's shoulders, Zero is like day in the dark, so he sees a shijie everywhere. In the walkway directly opposite the warehouse gate, the outer layer of the wall has fallen off in large chunks, and it is still covered with some strange marks and scattered bullet holes. Specks of blood, which had solidified black, were splattered in irregular shapes on the exterior walls on both sides of the passage, and it didn't take much imagination to know that the base was in the middle of a massacre.

The long passage is littered with cables peeking out of the walls, fire bottles falling to the ground, shelves laid out for cover, and corpses!

There are quite a few corpses, one to three corpses appear almost every four or five meters. Judging from the clothing of the corpses, many of them were ordinary staff members, and there were also guards-like roles. But without exception, they are now dried corpses. Zero examined several of the corpses and found a strange point, which was that there were few scars on the surface of the corpses, except for a dense circle of pin-and-needle wounds on the neck.

As they walked towards the west side of the passage, the two men came across a security room. The door of the guard room was locked, and Zero kicked on the door, immediately knocking down the unstable door along with the deadbolt. There was also chaos inside the door, and the table was toppled to the floor, with deep scratches on the surface, like the claws of a wild beast. Behind the table were the bodies of two guards, their heads resting unnaturally on their shoulders, apparently violently fractured from their cervical vertebrae. Again, there is still a dense circle of pinholes in the neck.

Zero-basic, it can be judged that this circle of pinholes should be the mouthparts of some kind of creature. Could it be that the thing that attacked the base was a vampire?, Zero thought to himself, it was a pity that the people in the base had been dead for a long time, otherwise he could have dissected one or two of the corpses to see if the blood in the corpses had been sucked dry.

As he examined the body, Beonlise brought down an automatic rifle from the weapons rack in the guard room and harvested several magazines from the rack. The magazines were already full of bullets, and Beonise honestly put them away. The rifle was then inspected, and although it was covered in dust, the firearm was still functional. She shook the weapon in her hand proudly towards Zero, and nodded her head, whether Beyonnis had a weapon in her hand, at least she had the capital to defend herself.

"Listen, as soon as there is a living creature other than me in view, whatever it is, shoot immediately. Can it be done?" Zero said.

Beonlise said solemnly: "Obey, sir!"

looked at the peerless head of the family who was resolute and resolute on weekdays, and now behaved like an obedient soldier, shaking his head and laughing. He left the guard room with Beonlith and continued to walk, and the closer he got to the emergency exit, Zero found more and more corpses on the ground.

When we arrived at the passage about 100 meters near the exit, it could almost be described as a place full of corpses. At least one or two hundred dried corpses appeared on the floor and corners of the passage, lying or sitting, lying or leaning on the ground. There were even a few dried corpses glued to the door of the passage, forever fixing their image of their life at some point before they died.

Among these corpses, the dried corpses of apparently guards were located at the front of the road from which they came. The guards had to build a line of fire in front of this position in an attempt to stop the attack, and there were dense bullet holes on both sides of the passage four or five hundred meters ahead, and in the ceiling. Unfortunately, these attacks were in vain, and the corpses they left behind are the most haode proof.

Zero and Beonise were advancing through the pile of corpses, Beonise acting very calmly. Unlike the average woman who expressed fear or panic when she saw so many corpses, her breathing rate remained at a normal level, except for the fingers holding the gun tighter than usual.

Arriving at the door, Zero pulled down a few dried corpses that were glued to the door. They were tightly glued to the gate because of the corpse fluid, and when they were torn off, they almost ripped out the flesh and skin of the adhesive part of the corpse. Ignoring the nausea, he quickly cleaned up the thing on the door that had become like a meat film, and soon found that the escape door to the outside world was welded to death!

"It's an emergency defense mechanism, right?" Beonlise said, looking at the weld marks in the crack of the door, "This indicates that irreversible damage has occurred within the base, or that something has gotten out of control." At the expense of the personnel in the base, the base must also be abandoned. In this case, there is probably no exit to the surface. ”

"Not necessarily. Shaking his head, Zero said, "Now it's certain that the emergency passage marked X on the floor plan has been closed. But don't forget that there are several other passages that don't have this mark. Judging from the situation in the warehouse just now, the people inside should have checked the situation of most of the escape routes before they died, but they didn't determine the biochemical laboratory located in Area F, or the situation at that time no longer allowed them to do so. We can try our luck along the main road along the central axis, passing through the central control room to the biochemical experiment area. ”

Zero looked at Beonise and said seriously, "No matter what, I'll take you away!"

Beonlise felt that since the base had activated its emergency defense mechanism, it would be almost impossible to leave the exit that was still closed. But seeing Zero so persistent, she was very moved and nodded her head at the moment.

The two retreated from the pile and turned onto a side road leading to the main road. There are still traces of the battle, as well as scattered corpses. After a moment's walk, Zero suddenly grabbed Beonlis. The latter was just about to ask, but Zero lowered his voice and said, "Be careful, something is coming." ”

From the moment he entered the underground base, Zero has been turning on the wave energy detection function of the Naga exoskeleton. At this moment, in the model of consciousness, there is a humanoid object moving in their direction. Soon, the object was already located at the corner of the side road ahead.

The next moment, a researcher-like man appeared in Beonrith's light. At first glance, this is a man in his thirties. He was wearing a white factory research gown, but the garment was tattered and smudged. The man was wearing a pair of glasses, the lenses were broken, and it seemed that the decoration meant more than the purpose. He hunched his body, his arms slightly open, leaving a translucent liquid from the corners of his mouth, like a mutant beast that has seen food.

Suddenly, the man screamed, leaned forward and rushed towards the two of them. He was fast, almost reaching speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour. Without zero orders, Beonlise had already fired. The muzzle of the automatic rifle erupted with fiery tongues of fire, and the bullets formed a line of fire towards the researcher. The researcher did not dodge or dodge, but only used his hands to protect his head, and let the bullet enter his arm.

But the bullet hit the body, but there was not the slightest blood splashed, as if like the dried corpses on the ground, this researcher also had no blood.

In an instant, the researcher had already sprinted 100 meters and jumped high. Looking at the downward trend, he was actually going to pounce on Beonlis.

Zero snorted, his body bowed slightly, and disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he had already collided with the researcher in mid-air.

A violent collision sounded in the air, and it was clear that even after a run, the researcher's Liliang would not be able to compete with Zero in the Naga exoskeleton. Zero easily pinned him down, and the two of them fell heavily to the ground. Zero lifted his arm, and the stratum corneum instantly tightened, causing Zero's punch to hit the researcher's face at a high speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, like a bullet out of the chamber.

Suddenly, most of the man's face collapsed. The left frontal bone was shattered, and the eyeballs fell out, but there was no blood left. And this guy was still dying, and the long coat behind his back was suddenly pierced by two swelling tentacles, and the two tentacles catapulted out of a hundred meters, tightly stabbed into the ground and the wall, and then shrank violently, and pulled the man back from Zero.

The researcher seemed to know that he was no match for Zero, and turned to run.

Zero sneered, stretched his hands forward, and energy gushed out. Zero's consciousness gave the order to build Colt, but when the energy materialized, he built a rugged firearm that was almost half his height.

This bizarre firearm is covered in superimposed bone fragments, pointed at the front and wide at the back. On the buttstock of the gun, there is a row of things like biological exhaust holes, and the overall style is the same as that of the Naga exoskeleton, which surprises Zero. I didn't have time to think about it, zero aiming, and pressing the trigger.

Six thin streams of air erupted from the exhaust holes on both sides of the butt, and a prismatic bone bullet flashed away with a smear of gray light. As soon as the researcher turned around, the bullet was already in his back. The researcher shuddered and fell to the ground. A moment later, there was a muffled sound in his body, and a dozen tiny gray rays of light ejected from the researcher's back, piercing the nearby wall, but thin bone spurs.

Looking at the researcher's back, there was a blur of flesh and blood. But his vitality is amazingly strong, and he is still struggling to crawl away. Zero shot him in the head again, and this shot made his head bloom, and the man finally quieted down.

Zero looked at the researcher, and then at the wild sniper in his hand, which was full of violent aesthetics. Zuihou grabbed his gun and walked towards the researcher. After confirming that the other party was no longer able to move, Zero put away the heavy sniper.

By this time, he had come to understand some of the abilities of the Naga exoskeleton. In addition to the basic information provided by the brain, the exoskeleton also possesses certain biological properties, such as the cuticle that can shrink the liliang and speed bonuses provided to the wearer, and the claws embedded in the five fingers of the glove. And now, after activating the independent genome of the Naga, Zero's materialization ability is also affected by it.

is also a sniper rifle, but Colt has become a bone sniper. Normal bullets are also converted into bone bullets, which are faster to eject and add a Naga bone spur popping effect when they hit the target, expanding damage from the target's body.

Zero wanted to see how several other materialized weapons would mutate under the influence of the Naga gene, but for now, he was more interested in the researcher's corpse.
