The rumble of the huge equipment in the factory disappeared overhead, but it was unusually quiet in the dark sewer pipes. Although the terrible smell from the sewers was enough to make ordinary people weak, and their stomachs would almost become knotted after vomiting, even with insect repellent
There is nothing better than this cocktail of chemicals, decay, sewage and the stench produced at the end of decay, which is so strong and nauseating.
Hayes was almost the last one to jump out. He almost fell directly into the sewage. Even if someone helped him and even if he was wearing a gas mask, he almost spit out the contents of his throat.
Everyone in the entire commando team has slipped into the lazy embrace of sewage. The leader is their company commander, oh, now we should call him the battalion commander Ouranios.
This man was walking in front of them, carefully walking in the waist-deep sewage, making wet noises.
His plan was successful. The entire regiment passed through the bombing zone almost without any hindrance, and then quickly attacked in the deserted wasteland. The defenders of the Red Pirates did not expect that a "defensive" force would suddenly attack.
They are still organizing attacks on three highlands that have long been deserted.
Unfortunately, they ran into a little trouble in the last step, when they captured the ordnance factory.
Previously, they estimated that this factory was of average size. After all, this world is not a famous industrial world, and it is a bit of a "small workshop" (imperial standard). But when the reconnaissance team sent the picture, they were dumbfounded.
Although the scale of the ordnance factory is indeed small, the Red Pirates have long since turned the factory into a semi-fortress. Not only have they deployed void shields, thick protective walls, and numerous turrets, the factory can also produce simple vehicles and
A soulless light tank does not need many defenders inside to shut out the Abu Bakari 310th Infantry Regiment, which is mainly light infantry.
Arni quickly convened the officers for discussion. Everyone felt that with the existing firepower and troops, it was completely impossible to capture this small fortress. Once it was blocked by the fortified city, as long as the enemy sent a few troops back to support, wait and see.
Theirs was an end in which the whole army was annihilated.
But it is not that easy to retreat at this time. There is a high probability that the position they were supposed to defend has been lost, and when they turn around, they will run into the enemy.
At the critical moment, Oranios, who proposed the plan, played a role.
Through quick on-the-spot investigation, he discovered the weakness of the factory fortress, which was the drainage system. Due to the original design of the factory, the drainage pipe was relatively long and happened to pass through a mound, so it could not be covered by the retaining walls and sentries.
protected and monitored.
Of course, the Red Pirates naturally know this, and under normal circumstances they will definitely choose to close the main drainage pipe.
But now they are still producing the weapons and equipment urgently needed by the heretic defenders. Closing the drainage means stopping work. Therefore, they can only make this decision when the enemy appears. Fortunately, the Abu Bakari 310th Infantry Regiment has not been discovered yet.
.
Ouranios' plan is to lead a commando team into the factory through the drainage pipe. Generally, the main drainage pipe must be connected to the production area and the energy area, because there is a large amount of wastewater that needs to be discharged in time. They have to carry hot melt bombs.
Rush in and wreak havoc to attract the enemy's attention. Then the main force outside launches a fierce attack at the same time, breaking through the enemy's defense in one fell swoop.
This is also a big gamble, because they know nothing about the situation inside the factory, nor the structure and terrain, but Ouranios is willing to personally lead the assault. His only requirement is to bring people he trusts——
His company.
Arni didn't even think much about it. He had already bet anyway, so he would bet to the end, so he agreed to the plan.
So Hayes and the others didn't even know what was happening, so they had to put on closed protective suits and gas masks and enter the drainage pipes filled with deadly toxins.
There is not only industrial wastewater here, but also a large amount of domestic wastewater. Logically speaking, no living things can survive, but when they walked by, there were still some small shelled creatures crawling around after being disturbed.
A total of sixty-two people trudged vigilantly through the drainage pipe with a diameter of more than five meters.
Hayes walked on the right side of the group, following Hashet. He tried to shake off the remaining sticky filth from his hands, but it was in vain.
"It's bad."
Helpless, Hayes spat, took another deep breath, concentrated for a moment and then projected his hearing forward.
During his years in the bottom nest, he heard many horror stories about huge drainage systems, from man-eating monsters with four arms entrenched in the pipes, to sewage worms that were like mud but had sharp teeth, to those that could
A festering toad that swallows people in one bite.
This makes him have a natural fear of those huge dark passages, and he almost never goes near them.
Now he had to take the initiative to get in.
Beyond the slowly rippling sewage, beyond the sound of water droplets falling and splashing, there was something else. Hayes seemed to hear the stinky air whispering to him. They were vague, fleeting, but
With an air of terror.
The boy subconsciously held the laser gun, his knuckles turning white from the exertion. To him, the reliable shape and weight of the gun were both familiar and comfortable.
He is not a violent person, but for some reason, he seems to have become dependent on weapons, and it is difficult to sleep peacefully without a gun at hand.
The team encountered no unexpected situations and walked several hundred meters along the way. The sewage rippled in front of them, and the organic organisms rooted on the roof of the cave emitted a faint light, illuminating the water waves.
Ouranos at the front was moving while trying to catch any movement from anything - random noises that might reveal his position and attract attention.
It seems like he knows what's possible in a place like this.
After walking for more than a hundred steps, the passage suddenly expanded into a circular flood discharge chamber. More than a dozen tunnels converged here, but most of them were blocked by thick iron fences.
In the near-absolute darkness, even superhuman vision would have difficulty seeing anything, and the sense of smell would be confused by the smell of sewers.
"Everyone, be careful, pay attention to the fluorescent strips on your teammates, and don't shoot easily."
After whispering the instructions, the man jumped down from the two-meter-high exit and fell to the ground.
The impact of landing caused the fluid to splash out, causing the moans in his ears to rise an octave, and then others followed suit.
Ouranios activated his night vision goggles, and he saw some rusty cages piled together randomly and lined up in the center of the room, like some kind of grotesque exhibition, with scattered bones.
Suddenly, a pale silhouette emerged from the knee-deep pool, and the huge humanoid creature caused a putrid rain.
Oranios reacted at an unimaginable speed and immediately pointed the pistol at the target. The muzzle flash pulsed wildly like the blink of an eye. The red beam roared out and found its spot on the monster's chest - directly knocking the opponent into the sewage.
