The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, but it was soon replaced by the original smell of decay and stench. The sound of footsteps echoed in the cavity. After a command-like "turn on the air circulation system", the low noise of the fan was heard.
Then follow up and start exchanging the air here.
This is a cavity. The building is built on the walls of the cavity to form a semi-circular shape. There are seven floors in total. Large and small rooms are divided into rooms for rest, storage, machine placement, and as a function room.
Those from the operating room were among them. At this moment, most of the rooms were destroyed, and the firecrackers with platinum bullets left dense holes in them, and on the floor, gray blood was eroding every floor.
In the corridor on the fifth floor of the semicircular building, Kara took off the glasses made of ultra-high-strength glass, put them in a black alloy box, and then put them in her trouser pocket. She straightened her hair that reached her shoulders, and finally
He placed his hands on the corridor railing and looked straight ahead.
Under the cold light, there was no building built on the opposite wall of the cavity, only two simple metal frames, which looked crumbling. In the middle of the two metal frames embracing each other, a lot of soil had been removed, and a twisted tree root was exposed.
, the brown bark is covered with cracks, and gray-white, foaming viscous liquid is secreted all the time. It looks like a mold that feeds on decaying matter, giving it a visual appearance of erosion.
"The blood vessels of the earth... is really not a suitable metaphor for something like this." Carla muttered to herself, then turned to lean on the railing and looked at the room behind her that opened the door. It was an operating room.
The environment was very clean. If it weren't for the two corpses with most of their heads missing, and the gray blood splattered on the wall, there would be no problem with this evaluation.
At this time, dense footsteps came from the stairs on the side. Several team members wearing the same clothes as Kara escorted a man to the side.
The man's right hand seemed to be broken, hanging down without any strength. There were many broken skins on the right half of his face, revealing the bloodless muscles. There was also a wound on his neck, but the attacker's strength and control were very precise, almost
It was drawn close to the blood vessel and no fatal injuries were caused.
"Is he the person in charge?" Kara looked at Shan Erna who came to her side and asked.
"It can only be him. He doesn't feel like a bad surgeon. He should be sent by the enemy to coordinate and manage. Don't underestimate him. He is very good at running and can rival the second type of ape-type creature in the forest." Shan
As Erna spoke, she knocked on the fence with her left hand, and the sound of "clang-dang" metal strikes echoed. From her elbow to the back of her palm, the artificial bionic skin had been cut open, and a piece of the gray-white mechanical arm inside was exposed. "It can always be done."
I believe in the quality of Webley Arms Company’s products, leaving only a scratch.”
"Choose not to accept the benefits of cultivating a new arm? If it is a flesh-and-blood arm, it should be broken." Kara laughed, "The things from Webley Arms Company are indeed useful, at least all the types of sniper rifles provided to us.
There is a layer of ultimate alloy inside the barrel. The usability is perfect."
"I agree, it must be full marks." Shan Erna nodded, with agreement on her face, "What about him? How to deal with it?"
"Do you have anything you want to say?" Carla looked at the man being held in custody, "The Three Kingdoms have started a war, and you have the opportunity to become a prisoner in exchange for our own people. The current war situation between the three parties is not too intense, and there is still such a situation
The mechanism is there. If we wait for a while, we can only lie to you and say, 'As long as the information you provide is effective enough, we can give you a chance to survive.'"
"So, how do you choose?"
"Dear lady, do you think that I was able to be sent to perform tasks within the empire because of conflicts with some superiors?"
"The negotiation broke down. However,," Carla replied, noticing the rapidly healing wounds on the man's face, "Maybe you still have some useful functions that don't require you to speak." As she said that, she looked at Shan Erna, "
Escort them back. In the past few months of contact, the enemy's use of pollution is indeed much better than ours. He can be used as a sample to study. Remember to check it. As you know, among the small countries in the region, they are competing for nodes.
Someone bound the heart to a solid red mercury bomb, almost causing irreparable damage in a short period of time."
After Carla finished speaking, Shanerna had pressed down a small pistol that she had taken out at some point, and a powerful anesthetic bullet was pinned accurately on the man's neck. Considering the presence of contamination, Shanerna fired five shots in a row.
The man stopped after his neck was filled with anesthetic bullets.
A few seconds later, other team members took away the unconscious man and began to clean the stronghold in the cavity and search for necessary information.
Kara and Shanerna still stood where they were, looking at the twisted tree roots on the wall on the other side.
"Small countries, the process of fighting for the protection of Node 1 can indeed be called a template. But we still have to consider the configuration of Node 1." Shan Erna smiled at this time, "The situation has also changed a lot. No.
At the node 1, there should be no infected bodies or polluters yet, right? Moreover, it is very difficult for contamination to occur there. You just mentioned the situation of imitating solid red mercury. Fortunately, the enemy encountered Western
Miss Xia, who perfectly inherited some of Mr. Cassia’s attributes, noticed it in advance. If it were anyone else,,,”
"Operations and missions are becoming more and more dangerous. I will have thoughts of 'danger' again. It seems to be the first time since I met you in the black market. I didn't have such thoughts during the southern forest incident."
"So before this time, was the time when I fought Cassia?" Carla was quite interested.
Shan Erna raised her left hand and said, "Give him some more time to accumulate experience, and the price won't be my hand." After thinking about it, she was unwilling to recall more of the past, so she fired another shot, killing the last one.
An anesthetizing bullet was fired and firmly nailed to the twisted tree root in front, "The data on this stronghold has been collected. By summarizing all the data we have obtained recently, we can determine this location with a probability of more than 90%."
It will be the sixth node position."
"But to be completely sure that this is the node, we still need to find the center point."
"Then keep working hard." Shan Erna is very confident, "But my intuition tells me that it won't be very far. There are many traces of pollution on the surface of Minkfas City, and the number of infected people is increasing.
Quite a bit. The pollution accumulated until it exploded, and it will be very recently, I think."
"Where will you choose next? Continue to the node of possibility, continue to explore, determine the work, and clean up a large number of inferior surgeons, or is there another option? Thanks to the solid red mercury and the reagents produced by pollution, we
We are now in the late stage of the second stage of the operation, gradually approaching the third stage. You can feel it, too. After the influence of the six red stars actually takes effect, the progress of the operation stage seems to have become much faster."
Kara kept staring at the twisted tree roots in front of her. She took a moment to think before she answered, "You want to talk about the information that has been released within the alliance? The role of the Red Star is to cultivate and promote people in this world.
The evolution of life. No matter what stage the surgeon is, when he finds that he can feel anything about the Red Star through touch, he must respond with a positive attitude."
"And the actual situation, whether you feel it or not, the impact has really fallen on everyone. You want to say this, right?" Kara asked at the end, "Indeed, within the alliance, Ye Jielin, Korkvar and
Ovelia and others have given feedback that in a more intense environment, better results will be achieved."
"Currently, the battlefields that can be called meat grinders are concentrated around the small countries. Looking over, there are all the graves of third-stage surgeries. It is not suitable for us. They are all like Miss Sisia and Mr. Korkova.
The stage for waiting for others. But there are also many places that are not so intense, and Miss Ye Jielin, Miss Ovelia and others are among them. I think we can move closer to that, after this node is determined."
"Well,,,I have already considered it. After all, we have good equipment from Webley Arms Company. If it is not used, it will be a loss for our efforts in meticulous maintenance every day."
"It seems we have the answer." Shanerna nodded with satisfaction, turned around and was about to leave, but Kara's communicator rang, "It's definitely the doctor's. He has been here for almost two months. He is not someone who will stay here forever.
If necessary, please remember to notify me. This stronghold has just been cleared, and the next major operation should be around the time to find the center of the node."
Shan Erna waved her hand and went down the stairs, "It takes half an hour to collect the information. You should pay attention to the time."
Kara responded, pressed the communicator, and after listening to Punos' solemn voice, she knew that Shanerna was right. After listening to the report-like explanation, she thought for a while, and then looked at the person checking at the bottom of the cavity.
Shanerna, who was looking at the items being stored, sighed and replied, "Then you and Adina get ready. Shanerna said she is interested in going with you to have a look. I will rush over if I have time. However, once
When it comes to pollution, I don’t want to remind you how cautious you should be. If you are contaminated, it will be troublesome later, so you have to be careful."
After hanging up the communication, Kara once again let her sight fall on the twisted tree roots in front of her, muttering to herself, "Exploring nodes is often the simplest task. The defense afterward is when the difficulties really arise. The enemy's purpose is very clear.
It’s simple, just activate the thing at the center of the node, and you can use any method. But as a guard,,,"
Half an hour later, Kara and Shanerna had left with the team, and more members wearing gray and white protective clothing arrived one after another and began to work on something near the exposed tree roots.
,,,,,,
Trinya was not sleepy at all. When she woke up, she only felt mentally excited. This feeling was especially obvious after Dr. Punos' assistant injected something into her.
"Phew, it seems to feel good." Trinya felt her "dong-dong" heartbeat. At this moment, even though the heartbeat was definitely an abnormally "heavy" situation in her mind, she didn't feel panic at all.
, I did not feel any fatigue or pain due to the violent beating of my heart.
This should be good news, she thought, and then continued to think about what Dr. Punos said about will. But she couldn't understand it, so she could only follow the method introduced in the books she had read, and kept mumbling to herself,
The simplest hint is, "I don't want to die. If I want to live, I don't want to die, so I must live."
After reciting this silently for an unknown amount of time, Trinya felt her whole body getting hot and sweating profusely. She suddenly opened her eyes and found that the surroundings were already dark. The lamps in the ward had already lost their temperature and were turned off.
.
The inexplicable silence frightened her. As she held her breath and tried to understand what was happening around her, a strange feeling came over her like a subconscious illusion——
