The helmet's far-sighted system and automatic focusing helped Jia Sheng see the wind and grass below the military helicopter. Under the heavy rain and the deep darkness, it was hard to believe that the weather was still sunny just now.
"What the hell is the weather like, it just changes at the drop of a hat?"
Jia Sheng listened to the sound of heavy raindrops hitting the helicopter hatch and carefully drove the military helicopter.
In his sight, nothing could be seen around the base except the depressing scene washed away by heavy rain and the dark purple lightning mixed in the dark clouds.
"No, there's nothing."
Jia Sheng spoke to Gu Zhuo through the intercom.
When Gu Zhuo heard this, he originally wanted Jia Sheng to drive down the helicopter and not fly in the clouds to avoid being struck by turbulent lightning and causing any accidents.
However, before he could answer, Jia Sheng took the initiative to fly the helicopter higher.
"Jia Sheng, come down, what if the helicopter is struck by lightning?"
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo asked the mechanic to take over the helicopter. He wanted to land the helicopter to the ground, but Jia Sheng stopped him:
"It's okay, Gu Zhuo, don't worry about me. I'll get higher and check again. The helicopter's index is now normal and there's no electromagnetic interference. Don't worry, I know it all."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo sighed slightly and let go of the mechanic's control, allowing Jia Sheng to move freely.
General Jia Sheng used a helicopter to fly higher. He saw that the rain curtain around the base was getting bigger and bigger, as if it was covered by a curtain. Behind these rain curtains, Jia Sheng could even see a few weeds that were hanging low.
Everything was clear, but I didn't see any enemies.
He drove the helicopter forward some distance to the front of the base and looked at the somewhat sparse forest in front of the base. There was still nothing, only swaying trees and beaten fallen leaves.
The picture is as clear as playing a movie.
Jia Sheng refused to give up, fearing that the enemy would hide deeper, so he flew a helicopter around the base.
Unfortunately, the result is still the same as before.
"No, nothing."
He helplessly told Gu Zhuo, and after making sure that nothing could be seen, he landed the helicopter from the sky to the ground.
Gu Zhuo wondered, could it be that his mechanic made a mistake?
Impossible, this has never happened before.
When building the base, Gu Zhuo specially set up a special program. Whenever someone or any creature approaches the base, the mechanic will give an early warning. If it is not a program error, then the mechanic will not make an early warning error.
If it was true as Akashi said, those enemies came to harass and then left, they shouldn't have disappeared without a trace.
What's more, Gu Zhuo's mechanics can still feel that they still exist.
"You guys guard the base first, I'll go out and see what's going on."
Gu Zhuo told Akashi and others.
Then, he drove the Doomsday Fortress, opened the base gate, and drove out.
Driving in the pouring rain, the car window in front of Gu Zhuo was all smudged, and the wiper scraped the window glass to clear away the rain and fog.
The last time it rained heavily, Gu Zhuo clearly remembered, was the time when Sam mutated.
Thinking of Sam, Gu Zhuo called Sam over from behind the Doomsday Fortress.
When Sam heard Gu Zhuo calling him, he came over wagging his tail.
Seeing that Sam was in normal condition, Gu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter who the opponent was, at least it wasn't to the point of making Sam afraid. Before seeing the enemy's true form, Gu Zhuo judged the enemy's strength based on Sam's reaction.
Although I knew that the opponent might not be very strong, I couldn't find the opponent at all.
Only the mechanic kept reminding them of their existence, making Gu Zhuo always worry about it and not daring to relax.
After driving for a distance in the rain and fog, there was nothing. It was the same as before, and it was still the same now. And the sound of rain hitting the roof of the car made Gu Zhuo feel a little upset.
Sam squatted at his feet, rubbed his feet with his head, then raised his head again, staring at him eagerly.
Gu Zhuo glanced down at Sam, wondering what he wanted to express.
He lifted his feet, gently rubbed Sam's head with the soles of his feet, and said:
"We'll play again later, I have something else to do now."
He said, looking up again towards the front of the Doomsday Fortress.
Unexpectedly, in just a short while, in addition to heavy rain, there was also a thick fog ahead.
"When did you start?"
Gu Zhuo frowned, feeling that the weather had become a little too unusual.
It's like the previous disasters were all mixed together.
He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that after the aurora passed, there were some other changes in the world?
Just as he was doubting, he heard Akashi's voice coming from the intercom:
"Gu Zhuo, I saw something!"
At this time, Akashi stood on the machine gun watchtower. He also saw the thick fog rising from the heavy rain. However, there were other things mixed in between the thick fog.
Those things were so vague that it was hard to see clearly what they were. But Akashi was sure that there must be something there.
"What is it?"
Gu Zhuo asked him quickly.
"I can't tell, I'll take another look..."
Akashi replied, just wanting the other people to look in the direction of those things to see if they could figure out the reason.
However, the next second, a cry of exclamation was heard:
"I saw that too! Those things!"
At this moment, in the heavy rain and thick fog around the base, many things that Akashi had just seen suddenly appeared, and they sprouted like bamboo shoots after a rain.
As the number of those things increased, Yue Cen was the first to see clearly what they were.
The tip of her heart trembled, and she said to Gu Zhuo and everyone with some trembling:
"Those are human-shaped shadows, like ghosts! These shadows are everywhere!"
After hearing Yue Cen's words, several people recognized that those outlines indeed looked like elongated human shadows!
"Gu Zhuo, what should we do now?"
Yue Cen continued to ask.
"Don't act rashly yet, I haven't seen those guys yet."
Gu Zhuo answered, seeing that his thermal imaging showed nothing except a few of his teammates.
Moreover, in front of him, apart from the curtain of rain and thick fog, he could not see half of the shadows they mentioned.
"Sam, Sam."
Gu Zhuo raised his foot and kicked Sam. Sam looked at him and didn't react much. It didn't tremble all over, nor did its hair stand on end. Apparently it didn't feel any danger.
"No response..."
When Gu Zhuo saw this, the mechanic and Sam were acting strangely today.
Is there something wrong with them, or is there something wrong with them?
The raindrops were still falling down like a pile of soybeans on the basin, making a noise.
Gu Zhuo had never felt like today that the sound of rain was so noisy and annoying. It made him upset and his thoughts were all confused.
He let out a "tsk", resisting the urge to curse in his heart, and looked around irritably for the shadows in Akashi's mouth.
The Fortress of Doom drove very slowly, and Gu Zhuo didn't pay attention to driving. When Chaoying realized something was wrong, he also came to the cab and shouted to Gu Zhuo:
"Front!"
Gu Zhuo then turned his attention to the front of the car and saw a tall, thin and slender shadow standing in front of the car.
It seemed to have been artificially elongated, and the proportions of its legs and feet were much higher than those of an ordinary person, like a twisted clay figurine.
It had no specific shape, it was just a shadow hidden in the heavy rain and thick fog. Gu Zhuo didn't pay attention and bumped into it.
Surprisingly, the front of the car passed straight through the shadow's body, and then passed through the shadow. Gu Zhuo sat in the car and felt nothing.
"You saw it, Chaoying, did you see it?"
Gu Zhuo was confused and turned around to ask Chao Ying.
Chaoying nodded and answered him:
"I saw it. You passed through the shadow and didn't hit it at all."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo stepped on the brakes and looked in the rearview mirror.
Not sure if it was his imagination, but when he looked in the rearview mirror, he felt as if the shadow had turned around in the thick fog and turned to stare at him.
Obviously Gu Zhuo couldn't even see the facial features on its face, but he could feel its deep, seemingly sticky gaze.
"Damn, what the hell."
Gu Zhuo couldn't help but curse.
"Shoot these shadows! Quick!"
In order to confirm whether these shadows had entities, Gu Zhuo ordered Akashi and others.
After receiving the order, Akashi and others pulled the trigger without hesitation and shot at the shadows.
The sound of heavy rain was mixed with the sound of bullets pouring down.
Bullets hit those shadows one after another, but the effect was the same as hitting Gu Zhuo's Doomsday Fortress. The bullets penetrated these shadows and hit the ground, leaving obvious marks on the ground.
"You can't beat these guys, why continue?"
Akashi asked.
"Go on, I'll stop and stop."
Gu Zhuo answered him.
The bullets continued to rain down.
But these shadows, like ghosts, appear more and more under the blows of bullets.
Soon, the entire base was densely packed with these slender ghosts.
