Volume II Stairway to Heaven (27)
"Have you entered the underground smoothly?"
Liu Yuxin looked back at the Shamin who was chasing her behind her, and confirmed that she could not get rid of them silently, so she cut off the idea of rendezvous with Gong Liang and the others, and continued to take the Shamin to play hide-and-seek among the ruins of the city.
"Swish swish swish swish swish..."
When Liu Yuxin ran to an open area, the sword-minister gunmen fired another wave of dense bomb rain, covering all positions of the mecha up and down.
Liu Yuxin, who felt countless projectiles break through the air, squeezed out her limit potential. Based on the original speed, she ran a few steps and hugged her knees and jumped hard towards the pile of ruins in front of her. Then, she carried a dense "ding-ding" sound on the shield behind her back.
After falling into the ruins, Liu Yuxin rolled a few times on the spot to remove her impact and stood up again in the splashing yellow sand. She twisted her body and gave up half of her sideways from the cover, and shot another ruthlessly at the chasing sand people.
"Doduo"
"Dododododo"
Several Shamen fell to the ground. This special electromagnetic rifle for mecha developed for the powerful defense of alien species is undoubtedly a nightmare for the fragile body of humans. Even if the bullets are shot at a little bit, it will end up with broken tendons.
Liu Yuxin was not indulged in fighting. After achieving some results, she immediately used the ruins to escape from the sight of the sand people. The unyielding sand people cursed Liu Yuxin and greeted his family cordially. While contacting people from other areas, they opened the search network again. The new round of cat-catching mice kicked off again...
At the underground entrance of the subway station, Zhang Hong and his team of seven went down the passage dug out by the sand scorpion to a pitch-black subway platform.
"Wait for a moment"
Gong Liang reached out to stop everyone.
More than ten seconds later, a yellow fluorescent light suddenly lit up from Gong Liang's hand to dispel the darkness surrounding them. Gong Liang threw the fluorescent stick forward, and the faint fluorescent let everyone see clearly the situation on the entire platform.
The empty platform was very messy. The station signs and advertising boxes that were originally erected on the platform were gone without a single metal pole that exposed the broken floor; the decorations and lamps on the walls and ceiling were all dropped, revealing the solid concrete body. The ground was covered with various glass residues and various garbage that could not be decomposed by microorganisms: fragments of fast food box, publicity posters, lamp tubes and lamp cabinets that were smashed by aliens, and more were excrement from aliens and the remains of various biological remains.
“Oh~”
Zhang Li, who originally felt that the air was not very fresh, could no longer hold back when she saw the various organs that had turned black and discolored, and squatted on the ground and vomited.
Gong Liang looked at the child who had obviously not experienced any suffering with pity, and reached out to take out a filter mask from his backpack.
"Thanks!"
Zhang Li wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth and put on the mask, and finally had the strength to stand up.
Zhang Hong gave Gong Liang a thumbs up:
"Brother, you've prepared very well!"
Of course, we were originally planning to explore underground caves, and there must be extra attention to the relevant equipment and facilities...
"Where are we going now?"
After confirming that the subway station was temporarily safe, Gong Liang twisted away the flashlight he placed on his shoulder, and the area more than ten meters ahead was immediately illuminated.
Zhang Hong then looked around the subway station:
"It seems that Brother Liu will not be able to get rid of it for a while, and we can't help but choose to believe him. What we do now is to collect the positioning device, so Brother Liu will always find us by positioning!"
They have been sending signals to Liu Yuxin for a while, but Liu Yuxin not only did not come to meet up, but even the communication was interrupted, which shows that Liu Yuxin was unable to escape smoothly among the sand people for the time being. She was taking the sand people who surrounded him and staying away from here.
Gong Liang nodded, took out the map again, and compared his fingers on it:
"Then let's follow the subway line to the outside of the city and wait for Liu Yuxin to meet with us!"
"Let's go quickly. The smell of blood here is a bit strong, and it is likely that other predators will not be a place to stay for a long time!"
After deciding on the action goal, Zhang Hong once again urged everyone to move quickly and jumped out of the lane first. The rest of the people also jumped off, and the group moved carefully along the subway tracks.
"Please be careful. Such a good hiding environment at the subway station must be other aliens lurking in it. Don't be careless!"
Zhang Hong held a bp2000 and drove the way in the front of the team. Gong Liang also followed closely behind with a bp2000. Behind was Professor Sun, who was sandwiched between two assistants. At the end of the team was another assistant who also held an ordinary assault rifle and Zhang Li.
After walking forward a few kilometers in a dull manner, a landslide blocked their way forward. Zhang Hong wailed:
"I said why didn't I even encounter a mouse along the way? It turned out to be a dead end..."
The landslide looks at least a few meters, and solid concrete blocks and sand block the road they are moving forward. It will be difficult to dig it with manpower unless it is done by engineering machinery.
Gong Liang got to the landslide and knocked a few times. With his professional knowledge, he confirmed what Zhang Hong said. The returned Gong Liang looked at Zhang Hong in embarrassment:
"According to the normal planning of the subway, there should be other trails leading to the front nearby. However, my map is not a professional subway station engineering drawing. It only marks the main roads and important facilities locations, so it is impossible to find other routes from above."
"I can download detailed drawings from the alliance's database"
Zhang Hong's face also twisted into a bitter melon
"But the satellite stations here have been out of service for almost a hundred years, and my terminal cannot connect to the alliance's database at all!"
"Satellite Station?"
Gong Liang's eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered that because of the rampant alien species, public facilities usually have equipment that directly connects satellites to transmit Sos signals. With his professional skills, it is naturally no problem to restore those things to work.
"Let's go! Let's go back!"
"Go back? Where to go?"
Someone asked in confusion.
"Do you still remember the previous fork? Where can I lead to a terminal station? If you park on the terminal train, you will have suitable modification equipment!"
Gong Liang's words made everyone's originally frustrated mood rejuvenate. If they get the right communication equipment, many things will be solved.
Everyone immediately turned and walked back along the way he came. After a few hours, they finally saw several trains parked on the platform tracks. What shocked them was that the concrete canopy at the terminal station had a huge gap! The gravel on the ground leaked through the gap, burying some of the train's carriages into the yellow sand and forming a slope.
It is unnecessary to think about it that there is a giant sand scorpion in this place. It is precisely because of its frequent entry and exit that the gap on the ground that connects the ground can be preserved. Otherwise, the floating quicksand would have buried it long ago, which put Gong Liang and others in a dilemma. The time is almost the hottest time in the desert, and the big sand scorpion is very likely to be hiding in the shaded subway station to avoid the high temperature. Now, looking for communication equipment on the train is undoubtedly taking a very big risk.
Gong Liang and his friends retreated a little and swept out a resting place in a relatively narrow place. Zhang Hong first took out biscuits, water and other supplies and found a place to sit on the ground.
"Everyone has been traveling for such a long time, let's take a break here first."
In addition to vision, hearing and smell, the sand scorpion is very sensitive, and the touch hair on its body can sense slight changes in the flow of air around it, accurately locate the location of the creature, and its sensitivity is comparable to the alliance's latest biological radar! Zhang Hong has not yet thought of any way to sneak into its side without being discovered by it.
Other non-combatants have less understanding of the abilities and characteristics of the sand scorpion, so it is increasingly impossible to have any feasible suggestions. Everyone, like Zhang Hong, silently replenish their physical strength.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Hong, who had finished eating biscuits in his hand, patted the biscuit crumbs in his hand and handed his bp2000 to Zhang Li:
"This bp2000 has no recoil and is a little easier to use than the assault rifle in your hand."
Zhang Li took the weapon handed over by Zhang Hong in surprise:
"Brother Zhang, if you gave me your gun, what would you use?"
Zhang Hong smiled:
"Anyway, that little pistol doesn't work for everyone, so I'll leave it for you."
After hearing what Zhang Hong said, Zhang Li immediately understood:
"Brother Zhang, are you going to the station to take an adventure? Can't you wait for the scorpion to go out?"
"I can't wait! We don't know what the sand scorpion is in. Maybe it won't be able to talk about it if it doesn't move for a few days. We can't waste it."
Zhang Hong turned his head to Gong Liang again
"Brother, please describe the parts you need and tell me the approximate location. I'll secretly go over and get the things back later."
After Gong Liang explained the location and precautions of the parts several times, Zhang Hong walked to the station alone. Everyone prayed for him silently in their hearts. Everyone knew very well that only Zhang Hong, the strongest in the team, had some hope of escaping from the hands of the high-level sand scorpion.
When Zhang Hong approached the station, he adjusted his breathing and tried his best to integrate with the surrounding environment. He tiptoed onto a train that looked the best and carefully removed the target as Gong Liang said.
"Huh~"
Zhang Hong, who took off the communication device, reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead. When he looked up, he saw several pairs of dark eyes sticking to the train's glass window observing him.
I was discovered!
A row of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Zhang Hong's forehead, and he rolled and crawled down from the train.
"Clang"
The position where Zhang Hong was just now was pinched by two huge claws. Zhang Hong's movements could be sandwiched in the middle and turned into a pile of meat residue as long as he slowed down for a second.
"Come here! Come here!"
The rest of the people were shouting hard in the driveway that the sand scorpion could not pass.
Chapter completed!
