Chapter 132: The Ancestor of the Ooze Monster Soaked in the Reactor
"Colonel, when you get to the reactor room, there is a main reactor in the center, just to the left of the control room.
There is a crane on the ground, and you have to go up the ladder. Activate the switch by operating the big handle. I will teach you how to do it." Vladimir guided Miller according to the tutorial on the console.
But at this moment, Miller and Xie Yuan were not in the mood to listen to Vladimir's instructions - the disgusting sight in front of them was already shaking their outlook.
Meat-colored growths filled everyone's sight. These growths were climbing and attached to the walls, both sides of the ground, and even climbing on the shelves of the elevator shaft. When the elevator fell, they were scraped. There was a layer of biological tissue that looked bloody.
It was quite disgusting. Xie Yuan and Miller basically moved closer to the middle. Fortunately, the flat space inside the elevator was still okay. After all, it was used to carry both people and cargo.
"Oh! My God! What the hell is this?! What should we do?" After seeing more and more growths going down the lower floors, Miller rarely lost his composure, "Oh! Vladimir, If only you could see this damn thing!"
Vladimir didn't know why, so he didn't reply, but Xie Yuan still said something to calm Miller's nervousness at the moment: "It's okay, if you can't bear it then... I will accompany you, so you won't be too lonely."
Although Xie Yuan's comfort was too nonsense, Miller still regained the calmness of a commander: "Who wants to go on the road with you! Well, Artem, be prepared... what happens next is enough for you. I’ve got a headache!”
What happened next was really a headache. As soon as I opened the door of the elevator, the report of the simple Geiger counter on my wrist started to beep.
For this reason, before descending completely to the ground, Xie Yuan and Miller were once again ready to replace the filter tank.
Miller's gas mask seals better, although additional masks are required when facing higher radiation levels.
And Xie Yuan has already replaced himself with double filter tanks. Although the duration of one filter tank is only 5 minutes at most, it is more than enough to last for a quarter of an hour using both of them together with Xie Yuan's Turtle Breathing Technique breathing skills... Thanks to Stealth Due to the frequent outings of the user, all filter tanks are used twice, and the filter element lasts only a short time.
If a short-term task cannot be completed in 15 minutes, then there is no need to mess around and go home to farm as soon as possible.
Because the reactor was involved, Miller asked Xie Yuan not to use grenades in order to prevent the reactor from being damaged due to explosion vibration.
"The things on the ground must be poisonous! Now it's poisonous gas! We can't stay here for long!" Miller looked at the growths everywhere with concentration.
With the experience from the previous level, they returned to the previous operation of dumping balls, shotguns and fuel tanks, but this time the operation was more difficult.
Because there are too many bubbles here and the location is too remote, Xie Yuan was able to find most of the bubbles here, but due to the angle, he was unable to effectively kill the bubbles. Therefore, although he discovered the bubble pods in advance, he still could not prevent the doomsday. The death of his son.
"Ho...ho, dye the walls here blood red!" Miller used heroic words to cheer himself up, although it didn't have much effect.
What worked was Xie Yuan's flamethrower, which basically burned these vegetation tissues into a dehydrated state, that is, charred black. However, this time because of the filter, the burning smell of these things could not reach Xie Yuan's nose. .
"Tell me," Xie Yuan was chatting while burning, "are these growths mutations of single-celled organisms? Or are they derived from Apes erectus because they absorbed too much radiation..."
"Stop! If you say it again, I'm going to vomit!" Miller struggled to stop Xie Yuan from continuing, "I don't want to know the possibility at all. If you say it again, I will assume that you want to kill me."
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it," Xie Yuan comforted him with a haha.
It's actually not far from the elevator to the reactor control room, but because of too many bubbles, the two of them had a hard time reaching the ladder.
"The ladder is here, Artem. I don't want to lie to you, I'm very worried now." Before preparing to climb the ladder, Miller rarely revealed his fear, "If there is a hell, then I dare say we have found it.
It's there. And Satan might be waiting for us up there."
After climbing up, Miller couldn't wait to enter the bunker, which is also the control room. Maybe this kind of growth tissue would really make him sick.
This can be seen from the fact that he immediately closed the door after Xie Yuan came in.
"We succeeded! Did you hear that?" Miller contacted directly through the fortress' internal radio.
After getting in touch with Vladimir again, Ullman also joined in. He praised the leader first before getting down to business - the operation process: "Ha, I knew you could do it! Colonel, this system is
Automated – just enter the command.”
"It's easier said than done...I never thought it would be a dense mass of buttons." Miller looked at the operation panel and studied it for a long time before testing the start button.
While pressing, I also recalled: "Okay... the reactor starter... 1, 2, 3, 4... looks very simple, it is designed to be used by even fools. Next, pray to God, hope
It works."
Through the thick but very transparent double-layer isolation window, Xie Yuan could see four red-lighting pillars that were constantly changing and glowing white. One of them had begun to rise, which should mean that the circuit was connected.
Of course, the two of them did not ignore the huge mass of growth tissue in the middle. However, at this moment, the mass of growth was still flickering, but there was no other extreme behavior for the time being.
Vladimir's response also confirmed this: "Colonel, everything is going well - a quarter of the power has been restored, but we have to restore all the power! Keep up the good work!"
Miller also gained some confidence at this time, although he was quite impatient: "His grandma's! Well, we can't do any better. Come on... No. 2!"
"Bang!" The rise of the second column triggered a violent rebound of the huge exosome tissue, and a Son of Doom acted as a cannonball and hit the glass of the reactor control room hard.
"What on earth is this monster?? This ghost thing is still fighting back! If you stay here for another minute, it will be even more dangerous..." Miller subconsciously jumped back, was frightened, and danced uncontrollably.
stand up.
Without the method to automatically start the reactor column, Miller could only look for backup solutions on the operating panel: "Manual start system...water pressure...what a bird."
"Artyom, Artyom, I'm afraid you won't believe what you are going to do next." Miller used a sorry-you-are-pregnant tone to give Xie Yuan the next task.
However, Xie Yuan is not really a newbie. He knows that once the automatic start fails, it must be manually started. The tools are outside: "Isn't it just starting the mechanical arm on the crane outside to pull up the control rod? Can you please invite me?
Is it just this kind of trouble?"
Xie Yuan walked directly to the door opposite the entrance, turned the rotary valve with a "squeak", and disappeared the moment he opened the door, leaving only one sentence: "It's time to show real skills."
By the time Miller reacted, Xie Yuan had already sat on the seat of the crane outside the door, started the machine and approached the nearest column.
When Miller looked outside again, although the acid had blurred the transparent window and the visibility in the dark environment was very low, he could still hear the automatic female voice broadcast: "Arrived at the contact zone."
"Attention! The operation of taking out the reaction rod is in progress!"
What followed was Vladimir’s surprise report: “Half of the power has been restored!”
"It's really fast!" Miller had to admit that this mission was much easier because of the presence of a strong man.
…
"Huh! It's really dangerous." Xie Yuan, who had just pulled up a pillar at this moment, quickly pushed the crane forward without even having time to wipe the sweat off his head.
What Miller didn't see was that the moment he pulled out the control rod, a doomsday "cannon" from the huge growth directly hit the front end of the crane!
However, Xie Yuanzai immediately moved the crane cab forward. Although the machine moved too slowly, it did not completely avoid it... and had a violent collision with the bottom of the cab.
However, compared with the thick bottom of the cab and the double-thick glass cover in front, it is better to have the bottom be hit.
Although Xie Yuan operated quickly, the machine's reaction speed after receiving the command was still as slow. After Xie Yuan pulled up the control rod of the third reactor, the Son of Doom cannon arrived as promised...
"Bang!" The liquid cannonball hit the bracket in front of the mask so hard that it even deformed the bracket!
This impact was accompanied by Vladimir's report: "Three quarters! Just a little bit!"
Xie Yuan did not dare to neglect at all, and directly pushed the crane to the last reactor control rod. The growths sprayed liquid cannonballs every half minute, although most of them only hit the bottom under Xie Yuan's operation.
But the field of view inevitably took a hit or two. Now the protective frame in front of the cab has been completely deformed and cannot protect Xie Yuan a few times.
"Arrived at the contact zone." The pleasant female voice sounded again, followed by the process of taking out the control rod.
"Bang!" The protective frame received another solid blow at this time, but the news of Vladimir at this moment still diluted Xie Yuan's slightest nervousness: "One hundred percent! Give me a minute..."
Miller's voice also came from the control room broadcast at the right time: "Artem, there is a bunker there... go in quietly!"
Of course Xie Yuan is not idle either, the growth has not turned off yet!
Almost escaping the attack of the growth, Xie Yuan pushed the cab to the designated location. Now that there was a barrier, the growth stopped attacking.
After turning back to the driving seat, Xie Yuan stood up, silently passed through the aisle on the top floor, and jumped into the control room through the skylight.
Miller welcomed him, but also brought a new development: "What bad luck! That lift is not working. But, thank God, in the past, things here were designed in pairs. We should go this way
road."
Xie Yuan followed Miller into a long corridor. Since Miller said this was the way out, he just went straight. Miller was very excited about the 100% activation of the reactor: "We will come back to sort out our affairs in the future."
It’s done. Just make better preparations. Let’s deal with your dark ghost first.”
Entering the elevator, after the elevator started, Vladimir's voice sounded, reporting to Miller: "You made the right decision, Colonel! The elevator will take you directly back to the station.
Everything here is running now and is under our control. However, I don't know how long this can last.
Go back to the starting point first, Ullman will be waiting for you there with gifts."
The elevator continued to rise, and now passed some floors where a large amount of armored power was stored. Looking at these machines that exuded cold murderous intent, Miller felt a rare feeling of excitement.
He even made heroic remarks about this: "Look, Artem...this is our heritage...our future...what a powerful force hidden here!"
With these we can...we will rule the earth again!
We will never live like mice again... We will win back the sky and the sun with sword and fire... We will crawl out of the mud... Rebuild the cities...
And in the subway tunnel, there will be silver trains speeding everywhere... everything will... everything..."
If he hadn't known that Miller couldn't bear to hear any bad news at this moment, and if he hadn't known whether Vladimir or Ullmann could be confirmed as spies of "Hanseatic" or "Line 2", he had been struggling to hold back the ridicule.
Desirable Xie Yuan wants to break his fantasy:
"Stop dreaming!"
Because he didn't know the reality of this fortress at all, and he didn't know that there were only two ways to revive the enterprising spirit of the city's survivors!
One is to completely overthrow Line 2, get rid of the Red Line and the Fourth Reich, which have been unwilling to give up in the past, and reshape human will like a saint reopening the earth, wind, water, and fire, integrating the forces in one direction!
The other one is what Xie Yuan is doing, which is to increase food production, so that fewer people die in the subway every year, add new population to the subway, or promote the shadow government behind the scenes to drive people out and find new habitats.
All in all, Xie Yuan must continue to accumulate strength and be fully prepared, no matter which path he chooses.
The elevator is gradually rising, and Xie Yuan's expression is becoming calmer and calmer...
