Considering the information security level of the Geological Bureau, Ye Quan must keep up. Even though he is just a programmer, after more than a year of eagerly absorbing knowledge, now no one in the entire base can match his hacking skills.
Out to the right.
Although Li Xinran objected to Zhu Tian, the leader, following him and said that he would protect Ye Quan's safety, just like before.
But Zhu Tian was still worried. After all, this place was close to the city center, so he still insisted on following him.
"The target location has been reached." The driver's voice sounded on the public channel.
"I'm number one."
Wu Qiang stood up from his seat, reached out and took off the descent backpack from the cabin wall, threw it behind his back, and walked towards the cabin door.
The hatch opens, and the airflow rolls in.
Wu Qiang fist bumped with the gunner in the cabin, and then jumped off without any delay.
The one who takes the first step will land on the top of a skyscraper one thousand meters away from the Geological Bureau. While providing sniper support to the team, he will also direct air artillery support.
The hatch was not closed, and the helicopter continued to fly forward for one thousand meters, and then hovered directly above the Geological Bureau.
"Get ready to go." Zhu Tian shouted on the public channel, stood up and walked towards the cabin door.
"First time skydiving?" Li Xinran asked in the private channel.
“I jumped countless times in the virtual reality training ground.”
Zhu Tian grinned, then followed the steps of the person in front and jumped down from the kilometer.
The biting cold wind swept across the armor's surface, and the roar of air currents filled my ears.
Unlike training in virtual reality, there is no file loading here, and there is no chance to start over if you fail.
"Height 900 meters." Li Xinran's calm voice came from the public channel.
"700 meters!"
"500 meters."
"Open the descent device."
Almost at the same time, Zhu Tian suddenly started the vortex engine behind him.
A faint blue arc of light spurted out, quickly arresting the power armor's high-speed fall. The scene on the ground gradually zoomed in, and through the mask, Zhu Tian had already seen the dense group of zombies wandering on the street.
There is an airport nearby, which was a high-traffic area before the war. Those dead bodies that will not be cleaned up in the future are a breeding ground for X1 bacteria.
The output power of the vortex engine had reached its maximum. Zhu Tian adjusted his landing attitude and stepped heavily on the ground with both feet.
boom!
Cement chips were scattered everywhere, and two pits were made in the cement road.
The zombies looked over stupidly, and then their eyes gradually became filled with a bloodthirsty light. Although daytime was not their home field, it did not mean that they would let go of the living creatures in their mouths.
Not daring to stop, Zhu Tian raised his left arm without any delay, sweeping down the zombies that rushed towards him like a hammer.
The triangular barrel rotated and bullets shot out like raindrops, instantly mowing down a large area of the surrounding zombies.
At the same time, three other powered armors also landed.
"Break into the Geological Bureau." Li Xinran immediately ordered as soon as he stood firm.
"learn."
After remembering the three responses, the four people quickly rushed towards the Geological Bureau.
Because it is located on the outer edge of the city center and the extent of damage to the building is uncertain, the landing point of the power armor cannot be chosen on the roof of the Geological Bureau. At the same time, considering the threats of alien species with long-range attack capabilities such as slingers and acid bugs, the helicopter cannot rely on
land
They were too close to each other, so the four of them could only land on the street in such a rough way.
After rushing into the gate, Zhu Tian, who was in charge of the rearguard, raised his foot and kicked the zombies that were chasing him to the other side of the street. He raised his machine gun without any delay, and raised his hand to shoot a hail of bullets at the group of corpses.
At the same time, one thousand meters away.
Wu Qiang lay on the roof of the building, his crosshairs pointed at the group of corpses that were rushing towards the Geological Bureau.
In the field of vision, a three-meter-tall slinger with slender legs and a huge belly sprinted towards the door of the Geological Bureau in two steps, and then threw out the zombie larvae in its hand.
The baby-sized zombie rushed toward Zhu Tian like a cannonball, but was dismembered into several pieces by bullets in the air.
"Secret location 1100 meters."
Wu Qiang took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.
boom--!
After crossing a distance of 1,100 meters, the sniper bullet penetrated the back of the slinger's neck without any suspense.
Black blood splashed everywhere, and the slinger was killed instantly. At the same time, his belly burst open, and larvae zombies emerged from it in twisted postures, letting out shrill screams.
This is one of the most difficult monsters in the city center. These zombie larvae will expand rapidly after contacting the target, and then explode, releasing high-density zombie bacteria. Although this attack method is not very effective against the "three defenses" of nuclear, biological and chemical power armor.
Very useful, but compared to other clumsy "miscellaneous soldiers", it is still the most difficult to deal with.
Not far away, several more tyrants were moving in the direction of the Geological Bureau. There were even two meat mountains holding street lights in their hands, walking towards this side with cumbersome steps.
"Is it almost there?"
Seeing Zhu Tian's gesture, Wu Qiang understood, pointed the crosshair at the densely populated area of corpses, and turned on the switch of the laser beacon with his finger.
"The 10kg mass bomb is loaded."
"Fire the gun-" Wu Qiang said solemnly.
Accompanied by an explosion that penetrated the sound barrier, a mass bomb fell from the sky and hit the center of the corpse group.
boom--!
The fractured shrapnel shot out in all directions, like cutting wheat, and a piece of it was instantly blown down.
The dust dispersed, and Zhu Tian and others had retreated into the building.
After losing its target, the zombies became restless and returned to their original sluggish appearance.
"A direct hit, a beautiful hit." Wu Qiang grinned and turned off the laser beacon.
As planned, this task is not difficult.
He walked directly to the roof via the stairs, and placed the airborne beacon on a relatively flat area.
After about a quarter of an hour, the slow-drop backpack behind him sprayed blue flames, and Ye Quan, wearing a chemical protective suit, slowly floated down from the sky.
Since it was his first time skydiving, the programmer's body was still tensed up nervously after he landed. It wasn't until Zhu Tian helped him take off the backpack from his back that his pale face turned slightly red.
"Okay, we are in place and ready to go." After observing the group of corpses on the street that had returned to calm, Li Xinran took out the tactical rifle from his waist and ordered on the public channel.
"receive."
Three people, including Zhu Tian, also pulled out their rifles and loaded them with a click.
"Don't be afraid, follow me closely." Zhu Tian comforted Ye Quan in the private channel.
"Um!"
Ye Quan nodded nervously, took a few steps forward and followed Zhu Tian.
The interior space of the Geological Bureau is very spacious, with a completely transparent spiral staircase leading deep into the
Bottomless underground. From this staircase alone, Zhu Tian felt the deep malice of the designer.
This is simply a problem for someone with a fear of heights. Of course, what he doesn't know is that such stairs are usually decorative. In the highly electrified 22nd century, few people would choose such a backward tool as stairs.
This downward-stretching architectural style is very common in the 22nd century. In order to populate Pan-Asia with more than 10 billion people and retain farmland for production, it is an inevitable choice in history to open up residential space downwards. The rich live in skyscrapers.
The poor live on the foundations of skyscrapers. This is the people's livelihood in various countries before the war... I'm going too far.
Ye Quan, who had no fighting ability, stayed in the middle of the team, while Zhu Tian, wearing a W-1, stood at the front of the team, guarding the dark area with a rifle.
"Why do you think there are no zombies in this kind of building?" Zhu Tian asked Li Xinran in a low voice on the private channel.
We have arrived at the office area. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of corpses here.
"Two possibilities, one possibility is that the people in this building evacuated in time before the war, the other possibility is that this may be the nest of some kind of alien species." Li Xinran used a tactical flashlight to sweep the black area on the third underground floor.
Said in a relaxed tone.
"Which possibility do you prefer?"
"There is no corpse, so it must be the first type?" Li Xinran judged uncertainly.
"Why the questioning tone?"
"Because there is no such thing as absolute in the wasteland. After being at ease for so long... I feel like my intuition is a little rusty." Li Xinran sighed.
Zhu Tian did not answer the call, but secretly increased his vigilance, with the mechanical crosshair moving around every corner where danger might arise.
For some reason, the bottomless underground made him feel a little uneasy.
15 floors underground.
After stepping down the last step, the five people finally reached the bottom. Zhu Tian opened the map and confirmed the location of the data center, then took the lead and walked towards the corridor beside the wall.
"What the hell is this?" A soldier poked the eggs on the wall with his gun and cursed in a low voice.
"Don't touch it!"
Li Xinran scolded him on the public channel, and the soldier immediately retracted his gun.
"What is that?" When the flashlight shone over, Zhu Tian stopped and frowned as he looked at the rows of oval eggs the size of watermelons on the wall.
Li Xinran stepped forward and observed carefully.
"I don't know... I haven't seen this thing before, and it doesn't exist in the heterogeneity map on the personal terminal. Do you want to collect some samples and go back for testing?"
Zhu Tian glanced at the disgusting eggs that made his scalp numb.
"Let's do it before we leave." If there is some connection between these eggs and their mother, destroying them rashly will cause unnecessary variables.
Ye Quan looked around uneasily. For some reason, he always had an ominous premonition.
Sensing Ye Quan's uneasiness, Zhu Tian comforted him.
"Don't be afraid, we will protect you."
"Hmm...I heard a strange noise."
"sound?"
Zhu Tian frowned slightly, but he didn't hear anything.
Ye Quan whispered: "A... very strange noise. Well... maybe I heard it wrong. Please don't take it to heart."
Is it an illusion?
Zhu Tian glanced at the corridor hesitantly. Since he was already here, it was really not his style to go back empty-handed.
