Volume II Stairway to Heaven (26)
The sun rose from the horizon again, spreading warm light all over the earth. A ray of morning light shone on Liu Yuxin's face through the car window. His slender eyelashes moved, then reached out to block his forehead and slowly opened his eyes.
Not long after the sun rose, the coldness of the night had subsided in the new light. The temperature in the entire desert was warming up at an astonishing speed. Liu Yuxin, who woke up, opened the car door and let the fresh air outside pour in.
"You're awake!"
Zhang Hong, who was stretching his body in the open space not far away, greeted Liu Yuxin with a smile.
Liu Yuxin nodded to Zhang Hong and then jumped out of the cab:
"Brother Zhang, was there anything unusual last night?"
Last night, after the two groups of people gathered, they had a lot more staff, so Liu Yuxin didn't have to be responsible for the guard all night. Zhang Hong, as a senior bodyguard, was able to deal with most emergencies. Therefore, Liu Yuxin got the opportunity to rest at night for the first time last night.
“Everything is normal!”
"That's good!"
While they were talking, the door of the truck was pushed open from the inside. Sun Li and others walked out from the inside. The last one came out was Gong Liang in the team. As soon as he got off the truck, he stretched his body and stretched his body. A small truck could not accommodate so many people. Yesterday, Gong Liang also found a corner in the car for one night.
"What are you going to do now? Just stay in this ruin and wait for the upcoming rescue?"
"No!"
Professor Sun shook his head repeatedly and said that he could not accept this plan:
"The base does not have any extra plan to explore. When the rescue team comes, we have a high probability of being forced to return to the team. I want to take advantage of this gap to explore the depths of the crypt."
"No, that's too dangerous!"
Zhang Hong and Liu Yuxin both spoke out and refused.
Even agile evolver is extremely dangerous for Shamin to be organized and siege, not to mention that Professor Sun is an authoritative scholar with no power to tie a chicken?
Seeing that both of the team's main combat power were opposed, Sun Li couldn't help but feel anxious:
"If we didn't find out any of the eyebrows, wouldn't we have come here in vain? You have also seen that inscription. It should be the secret of the kingdom of heaven. We can't fail!"
If there is no result in this investigation, it will be almost impossible to say that the base will conduct such research next time. Maybe they will never be able to uncover the secrets in their final life. They are only one step away from success!
Zhang Hong smiled bitterly:
"Old Sun, just give up! Those things are in the sacrificial place of the sand people. There is no chance for us to break through with just a few of us."
"But……"
"There is a situation!"
Professor Sun wanted to argue a few more words, and Gong Liang, who was venting the news on the outside, interrupted all the disputes:
"Those sand people are here again! This time they also brought dogs, no, it's a wolf!"
Gong Liang's discovery made everyone cry from the beginning. The group of sand people seemed determined to find them all. I don't know whether they were aiming at Professor Sun, who desecrated their beliefs or Liu Yuxin, who had just formed a bloody hatred with them last night.
Liu Yuxin climbed up the somewhat secret waiting point and looked at it with an optical mirror. Oh, good guy! This time the sand people came prepared. The entire search team mobilized hundreds of people and formed a large area of black on the yellow sand. They supported each other according to the regular combat formation, and three people searched and advanced to the depths of the city ruins.
Each team of Shamin was equipped with a shield hand, holding a large alloy shield, and a guard and a long-range stood on both sides of him. This stable structure was enough to deal with most emergencies and drag the other party down.
These teams were scattered on the fan surfaces of several miles and were constantly approaching the place where Liu Yuxin and the others were. After occupying all the commanding heights in an area, they sent trainers leading the mutant wolf to search for their traces in the area. At their speed of investigation, they would not be long before they would die again.
Liu Yuxin turned the observation ward and returned to the crowd. The others obviously knew from Gong Liang that Sha Min was really moved this time, with a sad look on her face.
"Or, let's drive away now!"
Zhang Li first made a suggestion.
"We might be able to escape yesterday. Looking at today's situation, the sand people have made complete arrangements, otherwise they would not have made such a big fanfare."
Gong Liang rejected this proposal without thinking. The truck's goal is so big and the speed is not very fast, so it is unlikely to escape the pursuit of the sand people. Now he really regrets it and asks himself why he didn't escape at night last night? Those aliens in the wild are much easier to deal with than the organized hunting teams in front of him!
Gong Liang looked at the city information in his hand with a sad face, hoping to find a solution to break the deadlock. His eyes were patrolling back and forth along the various traffic lines of the city. When he saw a place, his eyes lit up and said loudly:
"Have it!"
This sentence made hope in the hearts of the people present. Zhang Hong followed Gong Liang's gaze curiously and saw the subway station in this city at a glance. He immediately understood what Gong Liang meant.
Zhang Hong immediately started to sort out his equipment and finally turned on the insurance for the checked bp2000:
"I'll go and draw their attention away and wait for an opportunity to kill their wolf. As soon as you hear the movement, you'll set out to the nearest subway station!"
"etc!"
Liu Yuxin stopped Zhang Hong who was about to set out:
"Let me go, I'll have a higher chance of breaking through the safety of driving a mecha. Brother Zhang, the safety of others will be entrusted to you."
"Liu Yuxin, you..."
"Brother Liang, don't say it anymore, I'm determined! To put it bluntly, under the strict organization of Sha Min, Brother Zhang may not even delay the time to let you enter the subway station! I don't think that kind of sacrifice has any meaning!"
Although Liu Yuxin's words were very straightforward, Zhang Hong felt a little uncomfortable, he had to admit that what Liu Yuxin said was the truth. Those Sha people were equipped with a large number of long-range weapons. Without strong defensive equipment, Zhang Hong himself had no idea how long he could survive the Sha people's pursuit.
"Brother Liu, then be careful yourself! Never show off!"
Liu Yuxin made an OK gesture to Zhang Hong who told her, jumped onto her mecha and activated it to start preparing for herself.
After installing weapons for all the mount points of his mecha, Liu Yuxin carried a shield and set off. The reason why Liu Yuxin chose a shield instead of a long sword this time was to prevent him from being penetrated by important parts such as the mecha energy slot and head while fighting and escaping, reducing the chance of the mecha being completely crashed. Moreover, his main task was to restrain him. Melee weapon like Long Sword was almost useless.
After sneaking for a few kilometers on the ruins of the city, Liu Yuxin secretly climbed up a commanding height near the Shamin, and glanced at several mutant wolves.
Very good, none of them exceeded the effective range!
Liu Yuxin held her fingers on the trigger of the electromagnetic rifle.
"Do"
"Do"
"Do"
"Dododododododo"
Liu Yuxin quickly moved the electromagnetic rifle, shot three shots and killed three mutant wolf tamed by Shamin. After another burst of fire, she swept down several Shamins. She immediately put away her weapons and jumped down, ran away.
"Ah, bastard! I'm injured!"
"Damn it! He ran over there! Chase!"
"It's him again! Batull died at his hands yesterday! If I want to catch him, I will eat him alive!"
...
The sand people nearby chased after him cursingly, and the sand people in other areas also began to encircle Liu Yuxin. Liu Yuxin flexibly used the collapsed ruins to flexibly dodge the flying bullets, and turned around from time to time to knock down several sand people, screaming the barbarians and popular.
On the other side, Professor Sun and others brought enough supplies after the commotion of the sand people and quietly arrived at the entrance of the nearest subway station. Of course, the entrance of the subway was also full of yellow sand.
Gong Liang estimated the thickness of the sand layer and shook his head helplessly:
"It's too thick, we can't get in...we have to find a way to find another entrance."
"Maybe no"
Zhang Hong held his chin with his fingers and repeatedly stroked his stubble:
"You guys are here to wait a moment!"
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Hong, who had left in a hurry, returned, but there was a coma gerbil as big as a bison on his shoulder. Zhang Hong walked to the entrance of the subway station and took out his own **** and pierced the major artery on the neck of the gerbil. The warm blood gushed out and was immediately absorbed by the sand.
"You're thinking..."
"Brother Liang, you guessed it right. Those sand scorpions and centipedes in such a natural and shady underground passage will never miss it! Take a try, and the bicycles will turn into motorcycles! So, now everyone starts praying, praying that I can beat those guys who crawl out of the ground later!"
At Zhang Hong's instructions, the rest of the people stayed away from the station entrance and found a safe place to hide. Zhang Hong was waiting nearby for the coming visitors after the smell of blood penetrated into the ground.
In less than ten minutes, the sand and rocks at the entrance of the subway station began to flow. Gradually, the two celestial pliers half exposed the newly emerging dark hole entrance and clamped the gerbil tied to the rope and began to tear it up.
What came was a sand scorpion that had just entered adulthood. Under Zhang Hong's deliberate pull, its car-sized body gradually emerged from the hole.
Zhang Hong seized the opportunity and jumped onto the head of the sand scorpion. Bp2000 hit its head and fired four shots. The sand scorpion, which had just evolved into adulthood, could not resist the power of energy weapons. The rays of thousands of degrees of high temperature easily melted the armor on its head and roasted its brain. A strange smell of flesh suddenly filled the air.
Zhang Hong tried hard to pull the dead sand scorpion away from the hole, and then wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead:
"Luckily, the scorpion is not a centipede!"
The entrance size of the subway station is limited, and it is inconvenient to move to the advanced sand scorpion, but it is possible to drill out the high-level centipede that grows longitudinally. It seems that he is lucky today!
"Everyone, hurry up! Let's go through while this place has not become a restaurant for aliens yet!"
After the matter came to an end, Zhang Hong first got into the passage dug out by the sand scorpion and waved to signal the others to follow as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
