A group of twenty people entered the Tongzi Tower in a swaggering manner.
Several veterans have participated in such incidents many times. Before entering the broken building, Sam loudly explained the precautions for action to the newcomers.
"Check the ammunition! Keep the spare musket handy..."
"Be careful, and hit them when you are right. Don't throw grenades randomly unless you have to. Otherwise, the monster will not be killed, so don't bury yourself!"
"Also, keep your gun pointed to the ground. Don't point it at the person in front of you. Don't put your hand on the trigger. If you get frightened for a while, it may go off and injure someone. Help deal with it!"
"Don't speak loudly after entering. The deformed monsters in the dark are very sensitive to sound."
"..."
Su Lun listened carefully. They were all very practical combat experiences. No wonder Kai would ask newcomers to practice them.
He glanced at the tube building not far away and frowned slightly. The lonely rotten building looked like an ugly toad monster lying there. The black holes and windows were like lumps on its back.
Sarcoma.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Su Lun always felt like something was staring at their team again.
"Is it a human or a monster?"
Su Lun didn't understand the source of the throbbing in his heart.
He knew very well what this feeling meant. There were some clues in his mind that caused the uneasiness in his heart, but they were not enough to connect into a clear thread, so they came and went.
But he didn't say much, because even if he didn't tell everyone to be careful, everyone would be very careful in this environment.
Without waiting for him to think too much, the team had already entered the Tongzi Tower.
.......
The interior space of this tube building is very large, a bit like the shopping mall in Su Lun's previous life.
The house is completely blocked from outside light sources.
There was enough gas light in the team, but even so, everyone seemed to have entered a dark world, with only enough light to illuminate a corner.
Su Lun thought it was okay. After being promoted to professional, his "night vision ability" had also been greatly improved.
Even without wearing the crude night vision goggles, he could clearly see the outlines of things in the distance.
But the other newcomers seemed a little uneasy. The dark environment made them feel the fear of the unknown, fearing that some man-eating monster would suddenly appear in the depths of the darkness...
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out next to his ears.
"Bang"!
The fire lit up for a moment, and everyone saw a black shadow falling from the beam not far away.
Taking a closer look, it was a big white-haired rat.
This sudden movement also made all the newcomers tremble. It's no wonder that Sam didn't let them put their hands on the trigger before, otherwise the shock just now might have caused many guns to go off.
From the front, Sam's hearty laughter came: "Oh... you're lucky. This [white-haired rat's ear bone] is a cursed material, worth three thousand liso. I didn't expect that it would come out just by hitting one."
Got the material..."
Monsters living in a distorted environment have a chance of producing "cursed materials" in their bodies, but the probability of producing materials from ordinary monsters is very low. Usually only elite monsters, beast kings and the like have a higher probability.
A flash of thought flashed through Su Lun's mind as he listened.
The cursed material appears on the first monster. Is it a coincidence or something?
The veterans looked at the nervous expressions of the newcomers and said with a smile: "Hey, guys, don't be so nervous. This [white-haired giant rat] is just the most common monster in the sewers. You can kill it with a single shot to the head."
.However, you must also be careful, they will jump up and bite your bird off..."
"Hahaha..."
The old birds seem to have long been accustomed to it, and this action is much safer than hunting in wilderness.
After all, this is the old city of Linton, and there won't be hordes of monsters. Even if they are deformed humans, there will only be one or two here and there.
There were more than twenty of them, and they had absolute firepower advantage, so there was no need to be too careful.
Kai put the gun on his shoulder, his expression looking very relaxed. At this time, he also said: "Everyone, get ready, the monsters in this building should be coming."
After the shot was fired, the sound of the gun immediately attracted the monsters in the darkness.
But as the veteran said before, scattered monsters do not pose too many threats to the team.
The rest of the trip changed from hunting monsters to a shooting game.
The sound of gunfire will attract monsters in the dark, which saves everyone the effort of searching every room.
Not long after, two "distorted humans" that may have been seen by witnesses appeared in the darkness, and they were beaten to a pulp by the crowd.
Su Lun had seen this monster twice when he was outside the city. At that time, he was alone, and the surrounding environment was complicated, so it was difficult to deal with it. But the lone monster was a living target for the team.
Except for one unlucky guy who missed the mark and broke his leg, everything went smoothly.
Moreover, the harvest is good.
They found that the probability of the monsters in the tube building producing "cursed materials" was indeed much higher than outside the city...
.......
In less than an hour, everyone on Green Street cleared out the tube building, and then came to the entrance of the "cave" that the old man mentioned before.
This is not a collapsed hole, but there are obvious signs of construction.
It looks a bit like the entrance to the subway station in Su Lun's previous life.
The cleanup operation this time went smoothly, which made people feel boring. Maybe they felt that they were not having enough fun. Looking at the entrance of the cave, an old bird asked: "Captain, do we want to go down and take a look?"
Kai looked at the entrance of the cave and frowned slightly: "I remember the last time these caves were cleaned on a large scale was ten years ago. There were quite a lot of casualties that time. I don't know what the monsters down there look like now.
..”
Obviously, he seemed to have recalled some bad memories and shook his head: "Going down to the cave requires stronger equipment and more manpower. We are not well prepared this time, so there is no need to go down..."
Today's harvest far exceeded expectations, and it also gave Kai a bad premonition.
Su Lun blended in with the crowd without being too high-profile.
During the entire cleaning process, he had no chance to shoot. Often the monsters would be killed by everyone's concentrated fire as soon as they appeared. No matter how good the marksmanship was, if dozens of muzzles were fired in volley, there would always be a hit. This is how human beings are.
Many benefits.
Now that he heard Kai say that he was going back, he felt pretty good. The faint palpitations in his heart also made him feel that something might happen if he continued to explore further.
And at this moment, probably whatever comes to mind comes to mind.
Suddenly, his eyes caught a human-shaped black shadow emerging from the entrance of the subway station.
Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted in his heart: "So fast!"
Deformed humans?
No, this is definitely not the speed of a normal [distorted human being]!
Moreover, that thing can actually climb walls!
"careful!"
Almost at the same time, Kai also shouted urgently.
Obviously, he also discovered the black shadow that jumped out.
Before he finished speaking, a gunshot was heard, and then a fire broke out.
Although the monster was fast, it was still hit in the leg by the bullets scattered in the sky. Then another round of fire covered the monster, which could climb the wall like a gecko, and was beaten to the point where it was unable to move.
However, before everyone had time to be happy, suddenly a scream of fear and horror came from the crowd: "Ah!"
Su Lun heard the screams coming from behind, and when he turned around, the musket in his hand was already spitting out tongues of fire, and his movements were completed in one go.
Bang!
The shotgun hit the long mouthpart selected from the ceiling, and the screaming gang member also fell from the air.
Everyone looked at the smoking musket in Su Lun's hand, and their eyes were all shocked. They were probably surprised why he reacted so quickly. But everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by other things, looking at the half-broken statue on the ground.
It was a struggling mouthpart like a broken snake, and everyone's face turned pale.
This is a scarlet mouthpiece as thick as a bowl, with dense circles of sharp teeth squirming in the red meat, which makes people suffer from trypophobia.
Sam bravely moved closer, used his gun to flip the mouthparts whose nerve endings were not yet dead, swallowed his saliva and asked, "What kind of monster is this?"
All the old birds also showed doubts, no one recognized him.
"I haven't seen it either."
Kai's face became very serious, he looked at the beaten corpse and the half-cut mouthpart, frowned and said: "This monster is definitely not simple, even an out-of-control professional will not be so fast."
If Su Lun hadn't been quick with his gun just now, one of them would have been dragged away alive by the monster.
Kai looked slightly solemn, looked at the "cave entrance", and said: "Something's not right. This kind of monster has never appeared in the sewers of the city before... I think we'd better leave here first."
Su Lun's omniscient eye gave him super strong eyesight, and the moment he saw the monster, his name was revealed.
[Mutated aberration monster]
Detailed explanation: A deformed human being affected by a special environment; its weakness is the same as that of humans, its head and heart can kill quickly.
But at this moment, he was not interested in guessing what caused the monster's mutation. Since there are two monsters here, it also means...
There may be more in that cave!
"Walk!"
Kai obviously realized that he couldn't stay here for long, and just wanted to ask everyone to leave.
But at this moment, suddenly, a piercing scream sounded.
"Chirp~", "Chirp~", "Chirp~"
The next moment, several incendiary bombs lit up all around.
Strong light illuminated the entire Tongzilou space, and the monsters hiding in the shadows seemed to be frightened and hid in caves of various sizes.
Everyone on Green Street took a closer look and saw that a group of guys with various mechanically modified prosthetics had surrounded them.
Sam recognized the person and shouted angrily: "Steam Party! Damn it, we were ambushed!"
Seeing this, Su Lun's expression turned cold. Only then did he realize where his previous sense of crisis came from.
It turns out it’s not these monsters, but these guys from the Steam Party!
He glanced at the entrance of the "cave" and then at the blocked exit of the Tongzi Tower, and murmured in his heart: "This is a good place for an ambush..."
