Gunfire and fire continue to appear in the C1 section of the basement storehouse area on the second basement floor.

In an abandoned warehouse, several containers were pushed to the gate, acting as a temporary barrier. Rankine and the others relied on this simple but effective fortification, sticking out the barrel of their guns through the windows of the warehouse, beckoning the living corpses that rushed towards the warehouse.

In the dense gunfire, bullets poured from the direction of the warehouse formed a torrent of metal, smashing into the cluster of living corpses that rushed towards the warehouse. This kind of battle lasted for half an hour, and after Zuihou, a living corpse also fell under the impact of bullets.

"Shit!" Rankine cursed fiercely, and he didn't care about anything, and sat down on the ground under the window.

After a sustained high-density battle, Rankine's face was no longer rosy as before, but shrouded in a sickly pale. Not only him, but the rest of the soldiers also had to experience the drama due to physical exertion, and even their fingers trembled when they moved.

But they were all highly trained soldiers, and after repelling this wave of living corpses, each of them silently took out the marching nutrients from their carrying gear. This kind of special nutrients that are only available in the army contain several times more nutrients than ordinary goods. At the same time, the taste is much more unpleasant. If ordinary nutrients taste the same as chewing wax, then marching nutrients taste the same as the feces of a sickle.

But neither Rankine nor the other soldiers frowned and swallowed a tube of nutrients clean, because they knew that although the nutrients were unpalatable, as long as they ate them, they had any hope of survival!

In addition to various nutrients, there is also a small amount of water, which soothes everyone's throat as if it was being roasted by fire. Rankine swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva before leaning against the wall, walked over to the partisan McGonagall, sat down, and asked, "Man, how are you?"

"Can't die. McGonagall smiled weakly, a strip of cloth tied around his thigh. The strip of cloth stained the blood, and if you untie it, you will find a hole the size of a hole in McGonagall's leg. Just look for novel material)

It was caused by the blow of the armor-piercing bullet, and Rankine looked at the wound on his leg and said fiercely: "Damn, who wants to drag Lao Tzu's hind legs." ”

"If there's anyone who isn't zero, it's Anthony. McGonagall said with a deep breath.

"It must be Anthony!" Rankine slapped his thigh hard, "Zero, there's no reason why they're walking ahead of us and can't get along with us." So it can only be Anthony, a despicable and shameless fellow!"

"Captain, are we considering giving up this assessment? McGonagall whispered.

His voice was soft, but it caught the attention of the other soldiers, and they looked at Rankine one by one. In these faces, Rankine saw the fear of death and the confusion of the future. They hadn't even passed through the second-tier base, but they had already lost nearly half of their manpower, and they were running out of ammunition. Keep going, and God knows if anyone will survive.

"But if we give up, we'll have to live our lives as cowards!" Rankine said in a deep voice.

"We know that, but isn't it courage for the captain to give up sometimes?" McGonagall emphasized.

Rankine was speechless and said, "Vote, if everyone chooses to go home, then I have nothing to say." ”

The results of the vote were obvious, and everyone except Rankine said they wanted to give up the test. But Zuihou's decision still had to be made by Rankine, so everyone looked at Rankine. Rankine looked at them and said heavily, "Rest for 10 minutes and then we'll go home!"

He didn't want to give up just like that, he didn't want to be sorry for his uncle, but now he couldn't choose. Even if he insisted on moving forward, the soldiers would follow, but morale would be low. A team without morale is no different from going to die.

In a low-slung bungalow 450 meters southwest of the abandoned warehouse, the house that was supposed to be used as an office has been occupied by Anthony and others. * They encounter a small episode on the way to follow Rankine, and the butcher who had been following Rankine and the others turns back and attacks them in a frenzy. This stems from the blood aura of a higher level of ability, which attracted this higher-ranking living corpse, and of course Anthony and his party cleaned up this living corpse.

Although no one was sacrificed, Luka's back was streaked with blood, and Anthony's feet were missing a piece of flesh. Now there is a strip of disinfectant cloth tied there, but the dissolved blood halo indicates that the injury is not light.

Betsy, who was in charge of monitoring Rankine's movements, said at the window, "Captain Demoman's squad has left the warehouse. ”

Anthony, who was sitting on the ground resting, immediately said, "Very well, let's follow him......"

"Wait, they seem to be planning to go back the way they came. ”

Betsy's voice interrupted Anthony's words, and Anthony stood up, walked to the window himself, and activated the helmet's remote observation mode. As the footage expands, Anthony can clearly see that Rankine's team has left the warehouse in a hurry, but instead proceeds in the direction of the safe passage, it is heading towards the exit of the level.

"You're going to give up on cowards!" Anthony scolded in a low voice, but he couldn't tell if it was because of Rankine's cowardly performance or because he lost his bait.

Betsy next to him said again: "The captain has a situation. Someone is approaching 500 meters to your left. ”

Anthony immediately looked in the direction Betsy had pointed out. In the Night God mode, a thin man strode in the direction of Rankine and the others. As Anthony's gaze fell on him, the man seemed to notice and looked in Anthony's direction. But Anthony was observing him from 500 meters away, and the underground base was pitch black, and the man didn't get anything.

But Anthony broke out in a cold sweat, and he could perceive his gaze in the dark, and the other party must be a strong man in his own line. And the slight hostility in the man's body shows that the person who came is not good.

Anthony immediately gave up on observing the man and pulled Betsy away from the window.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Lukka asked when he noticed something was wrong.

Anthony whispered, "All quiet gentlemen who control your heartbeat and body temperature. Something terrible is approaching. ”

The person who can get Anthony to give such an order is naturally not simple, and the others no longer talk nonsense, and do their best to control their heartbeat and body temperature, so as not to let them be too fast or too high and expose their existence.

However, Rankine's team was not as lucky as Anthony. They left the warehouse, all with relieved expressions on their faces. Although he gave up the assessment, he saved his life. There is nothing more beautiful in this life than being alive.

The entire second-level underground base was almost killed by Rankine's team, and there would be very little resistance to returning the way it came. But Ranken and the others didn't know that the biggest obstacle was already moving in their direction.

Rankine walked at the back of the team, and he had a bigger responsibility than the team. After all, the honor and disgrace of the entire family weighed on a small half of his body, and he could not join the army, and he also lost his value to the family. Rankine could already imagine his uncle, who was a councillor, snubbing him.

Perhaps Rankine can keep this team and then take over some tasks from the Asgard Military Department as the head of the mercenary group, or even leave Asgard to earn a living in other wild cities. With the strength of Rankine and McGonagall of the fifth order, plus an average of about three rank soldiers, and a few wilderness mercenaries, they can be competent for most missions, or become a resident mercenary group in a certain city.

In a few years, Rankine could start a family or something.

But none of this was what Rankine wanted. But what could be, the reality was in front of him, and he had to give in.

As Rankine let out a soft sigh, his heart suddenly moved. At the same time, there was an exclamation at the front of the group, and Rankine looked up to see McGonagall flying into the air. Something wrapped around McGonagall's neck and threw him up.

Rankine snorted, drew his pistol, and hit the thing that was entangled with McGonagall with a jīng point. However, when the bullet hit the object, it sent out a cloud of sparks and the sound of hitting the metal. Rankine was stunned, and when he was so distracted, McGonagall had been taken to a space of ten meters. Before the other soldiers could rescue him, in night vision mode, Rankine saw several black lines stabbing at McGonagall fiercely!

The things plunged between McGonagall's legs in an instant, and a terrible howl rang out of the darkness.

The next moment, the unknown object was inside McGonagall, and the guerrilla was torn in half. A flower of flesh bloomed in the air, and shredded flesh, organs, intestines, and blood poured down. The soldier who stood brightly was immediately covered in McGonagall's blood and finely chopped flesh.

Everyone was stunned, and Rankine was no exception. But he quickly came to his senses, and roared, raised his pistol and passed the crowd in the direction of the unidentified object. The other soldiers also reacted, raising their machine guns and holding down the trigger to vent their anger with a dense barrage!

However, 200 meters away from the crowd, sparks continued to splash in the darkness, and the sound of hitting metal was constantly heard. In the frenzied shrill roar, the Demoman Squad's firepower suppression was completely blocked. When Rankine and the team opened the magazine, it was so quiet in the darkness that it was impossible to breathe.

In the midst of this maddening silence, another scream suddenly rang out. Rankine didn't have time to show jǐng, and a black line was drawn from a distance. It wrapped its arms around a soldier's neck, and Rankine saw that it was a vine full of thorns. Rankine couldn't believe that the vines of this plant had blocked all the bullets that had been blocked.

In an instant, the vines retracted and threw the soldiers into the darkness. Immediately, the screams of the soldiers rang out in the darkness, and in an instant, they stopped, followed by the sound of water droplets. A moment later, the soldier's stunned head slowly rolled out of the darkness to Rankine's feet!
