"Huh~"

A huge claw swept towards Zhang Hong with a sharp sound of wind.

The road ahead was blocked, and behind it was the body of a sand scorpion as big as a basketball court. Zhang Hong, who was trapped in the middle for a while, had no way to go to heaven! Zhang Hong could only lower his head and roll into the sand scorpion's abdomen to avoid its frontal attack.

When he found that the inconspicuous little thing had penetrated under his body, the sand scorpion lifted his sharp steps and stepped on the ground. Zhang Hong could only keep rolling to avoid being injured. The sand scorpion had no choice but to take Zhang Hong's helplessness because of his size for a while.

"Bang"

Zhang Hong hit an obstacle while dodging, and his rolling speed immediately decreased. The sand scorpion keenly grabbed the flaw exposed by Zhang Hong, lifted up a foot covered with armored spikes and stomped on Zhang Hong who was unable to catch up!

Seeing that Zhang Hong was about to die, several bullets from the electromagnetic rifle accurately hit the sand scorpion that stepped on Zhang Hong's foot. Although the striker filled with powerful kinetic energy could not break through the sand scorpion's defense, it also tilted the thick stride as a pillar. The sand scorpion's attack on Zhang Hong was stomped by his side.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow jumped down from the gap that broke out on the dome, and took advantage of the unstable shape of the sand scorpion and kicked it hard at the base of its tail. The rescuer who fell from the sky was Liu Yuxin, who had separated from them several hours ago.

The sand scorpion, caught off guard, was kicked hard by the mecha on its genitals and its body trembled. The severe pain made it unable to maintain its stability. It was kicked over by the huge force contained in this kick, and the ground of the entire terminal station shook.

"Bang!"

For a moment, smoke and dust filled the subway station, and countless sand, gravel and dust fell from the top.

"Go away!"

Taking advantage of the overturned space of the sand scorpion, Liu Yuxin grabbed Zhang Hong on the ground and ran away, and signaled Zhang Li and others who were shouting at them to retreat quickly.

The sand scorpion was not slow either. He fell to the ground and turned his body back within a few seconds. He followed Liu Yuxin and chased him reluctantly. Even when he arrived at the narrow lane, he had no intention of stopping and hit him head-on.

"Crazy..."

The subway station was forced to open a wide passage by this fierce sand scorpion.

After rushing dozens of meters against the gravel rubble, the sand scorpion had exhausted its strength and stopped, and angrily extended its claw into the passage where it could not be squeezed into it.

"Ho~ho~ho..."

After running for hundreds of meters again, the movements of the sand scorpion were almost unheard. The group of people who knew they were safe also stopped, supported their already weak thighs with their hands, and stood there and breathed in big mouthfuls.

"Are you safe?"

Zhang Li asked panting.

These researchers usually neglect to exercise their bodies. After this short period of explosion, they feel that their bodies no longer belong to them, so they can't run any longer.

"That sand scorpion shouldn't be resistant to the high temperature. Let's chase us little people who are even dissatisfied with their teeth."

Zhang Hong, who had just escaped from death, is still a little shocked and his face is still pale.

"How could you get involved with this big guy?"

Liu Yuxin was very curious. If she wanted to avoid Shamin's gaze, she would obviously not be able to walk here, right?

Gong Liang explained the matter in detail from the place where they separated.

After listening to Gong Liang's description, Liu Yuxin smiled bitterly again:

"Don't think about how to leave this city for now. Those sand people are still arranging snipers on the periphery of the city!"

Sniper!

Liu Yuxin's words suddenly wiped out the hope in everyone's hearts. With these elite combat units, it is undoubtedly a dream for ordinary people to leave the city safely.

"Look!"

Liu Yuxin lit up her back. On the half-meter-thick alloy shield placed on the back of the mecha, there was a black hole with a size of a bowl.

"I almost got shot by them when I escaped to the edge of the city!"

"Gauss Rifle!"

Seeing the hole on the shield that was burned to black by the high temperature, Zhang Hong blurted out. At a glance, he knew that the hole was a trace left by the armor-breaking heavy Gauss rifle.

It is a lethal weapon specially designed by the Alliance for the Sharpshooter. It restrains the incredible amount of electrical energy by forming a strong magnetic field in the gun chamber. Then the specially made warhead will push the bullet out under the push of powerful energy. When the bullet is shot out, the high-temperature ionization attached to the warhead can even pull out a whole beautiful flame tail!

This rifle, which is very similar to an energy weapon, has extremely strong lethality and can break through the raider's outer armor effortlessly several kilometers away. In addition to the slow launch frequency, it is almost a perfect individual weapon. However, due to the very complex manufacturing process and the price are also extremely expensive, and it is generally used by humans as anti-equipment.

With such a weapon, not to mention ordinary people like Professor Sun, even Zhang Hong himself is not sure about it.

"How could those sand people have such equipment?"

No one present could answer Zhang Hong's question.

"No matter this for now... let's discuss how to break through!"

Zhang Hong rubbed his forehead that was painful and decided to let go of the weapon first. After all, he was not an intelligence officer and could not analyze anything from it. The most urgent thing was to find a solution to get rid of these people. At this time, Zhang Hong suddenly doubted whether it would be possible to rely on ordinary rescue teams to take them away safely under the eyes of people.

Everyone became busy around this goal. First, Gong Liang used his professional skills to repair and activate the devices that could connect satellites in the subway. Later, Zhang Hong used the alliance's database to find various detailed drawings of the city.

"Do we still have to move forward as planned?"

After downloading all the information, Zhang Hong's face was a little pale, because when he was searching for the information and landmarks of the city, he found several confidential information that he could not even browse. This shows that the city is not as simple as it seems, and the reason for being abandoned by the alliance is also somewhat intriguing.

Originally, Zhang Hong was wondering why the Alliance easily gave up a big city with a population of millions and a complete system, turning this area into a no-man's land that could not even be formed by a gathering place. Now it seems that it is likely to be inseparable from the secrets that he cannot read.

“It has become meaningless to move to the edge of the city!”

Professor Sun, who had never expressed any comments, suddenly spoke:

"The sand people should have arranged observation personnel and snipers in every direction, so they are sure that we did not leave the ruins last night, and then carried out a net search of the entire ruins this morning. As long as we escape from the cover of the ruins, we will definitely fall into their sight!"

Others also agreed with Professor Sun's point of view, believing that the reckless escape from the ruins is undoubtedly exposing themselves to the guns of the sand people.

Professor Sun saw that everyone agreed with his own point of view, and suddenly felt a little excited in his voice:

"I don't know if you have heard of a famous saying: the most dangerous place is the safest place! We can go back! Those sand people will definitely not think that we will take the initiative to approach their nest and be neglected to guard against that direction!"

Although the plan proposed by Professor Sun is very risky, it is still a feasible plan. The sand people would never think that they would fall into the trap. After discussing with each other for a while, they finally decided to use Professor Sun's proposal.

Zhang Hong quickly planned a walking route with the help of the subway engineering drawings. Through those detailed maps, Zhang Hong tried his best to avoid places where there may be high-level alien species and chose relatively safe personnel passages, which were specially reserved for subway maintenance personnel to use. These spider-web-like passages are spread all over every corner of the subway, linking various facilities throughout the subway.

"Yeah~Yeah~"

Zhang Hong held the handle of the turntable and turned a few times, opened a metal valve embedded in the wall, and a claustrophobic and long concrete tunnel was exposed. In order to facilitate maintenance workers to quickly reach the incident point, these tunnels passing through the subway were designed to allow people to easily walk to any point of the subway in a straight line, which is the most time-saving and labor-saving movement solution.

Zhang Hong led everyone through dozens of such tunnels and successfully arrived at a subway station nearest to the sand people's nests on the map. Judging from the city map, after going up here, it should be a factory that produces toxic chemicals. It has arrived at the suburbs of the city, only one step away from the sand people's nests.

"Huh? Why is there a tunnel here?"

At the edge of this city, Zhang Hong discovered another tunnel that was not marked on the subway project drawing. According to the drawings, this should be a control room that controls the surrounding electricity, which aroused Zhang Hong's curiosity, and Zhang Hong approached the tunnel.

This is indeed a control room. The metal door that should have been closed was riddled with holes and fell to the ground under the damage of unknown alien species. Inside is a room made of metal, with some rusty scrap equipment inside. Several backrest chairs fell under a metal table. Only the bare metal skeleton was corroded by time.

What surprised Zhang Hong the most was that this control room had a mezzanine!

After losing the maintenance of personnel, the metal wall that originally hid the entrance of the tunnel was destroyed by aliens and created a large hole that was enough for several people to enter at the same time. Inside it was a long dark tunnel.

Zhang Hong and Liu Yuxin, who followed him in, looked at each other and said to Professor Sun's people:

"You guys find a place to rest. Liu Yuxin and I went to the front to touch the situation."
Chapter completed!
