"I repeat, those who have wives and children, and both parents are alive and well, sit down!" On the No. 1 position in the West District of the No. 29 Residential Zone in the middle area, Commander Fan Mengjun looked at this group of stubborn young people who were unwilling to sit down.
The person repeated the main premise of this action again.
But still no one sat down.
An hour ago they confirmed that there were at least 195 uninfected survivors in the occupied workshops No. 33-45 of the Eastern District. After consulting their superiors, they now decided to launch a rescue operation. This is very dangerous.
mission! Because their personnel are limited and their firepower configuration is relatively backward, if they want to pass through the one-kilometer-long passage area extending in all directions without support to reach the target point and rescue the survivors who are defending there, there will definitely be a lot of people.
To sacrifice.
But no one is afraid, and no one quits.
After repeating it twice, Fan Mengjun walked up to a young man, stared at him and cursed: "Dong Bin! Don't you understand human language? I'll repeat it again! People with wives and children can't go!"
Dong Bin's eyes turned red, and he took a step forward and said loudly: "Sir, sir! My wife and children are all dead! I am now a bachelor!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone actually wanted to laugh, but no one could laugh.
Fan Mengjun was stunned for a moment, then understood. He patted Dong Bin's arm and said nothing more.
Returning to the front of the team, Fan Mengjun took the gun handed over by his deputy and said: "Let's go!"
There were eighty people in the group, both men and women, all wearing modified military-grade exoskeletons. They looked majestic, but when they passed through Position 1, they were about to face thousands of their former compatriots infected by divinity.
Those bloodthirsty eaters will swarm at them like locusts, and even if they escape them, fear, Slaanesh and the followers of Joy await them in the darkness.
It has long been reduced to an underground refuge of purgatory on earth. Everyone who is still alive and still holding on feels as if they are undergoing a reincarnation, but they do not know whether they will become beasts in the next life and continue to suffer in this world.
.
The forward position is brightly illuminated by lights. At a glance, you can see a few hundred meters ahead without any moving targets. But after passing through this light and entering the area beyond the light, the situation will take a turn for the worse.
After checking the distance between his own personnel and the target location, Fan Mengjun encouraged his men: "It's only two kilometers. Let's just treat it as if we have eaten and drank enough and went out for a walk. Don't be too nervous."
All the soldiers under his command showed knowing smiles, but when they began to pass through the illuminated area, they still held their breath involuntarily.
1,800 meters away from the target point. This was originally the forward position of the first position, but it fell two days ago. Now only corpses and wreckage are left here. Fan Mengjun felt very heavy when he passed through here... because he was one of the few
Most of the surviving personnel retreated from the forward position, while most of his old subordinates were trapped in this position.
Fan Mengjun's heart was bleeding when he saw those familiar figures still left in place.
He tried hard not to look or let his emotions fluctuate too much, and then said in a calm tone: "Don't look to both sides! Look forward! Step slowly!"
Dong Bin is hanging at the end of the team. This position is still good now, but the further you go, the more dangerous it is at the end of the team.
Especially in this kind of environment with passages extending in all directions, the rear and head of the team are usually used as the vanguard and the main force to cover the retreat. Dong Bin actively asked to stay at the rear of the team because he was brave enough and fearless.
, and another point is that he is still thinking about whether he can see his lover again...
1600 meters from the target point.
When they were about to arrive at the confluence area, Fan Mengjun took five soldiers to the front to check the situation.
As a result, before reaching the entrance of the confluence area, I heard a louder scream and moan. It was the carnival of desire of Slaanesh... Although these things pose a relatively low threat to Fan Mengjun and others, usually in Slaanesh's
There will be eaters wandering near the servants, so after hearing such an obvious signal, Fan Mengjun realized that there must be a large number of eaters gathered in the confluence area. If he is not careful, the eighty of them may not even be able to fill someone's teeth.
of.
But passing through the confluence area is the shortest route into the East District. Going around other places requires at least twice the distance. But there is nothing that can be done... After quietly releasing a drone to check the situation in the confluence area, Fan Mengjun gasped.
A breath of cool air.
I saw that there were three to four thousand infected people densely packed in the confluence area with an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and most of them were naked servants of Slaanesh who were obsessed with desire and could not extricate themselves. And in this densely packed area, they were as dense as maggots.
There are nearly a thousand eaters on the bodies of the wriggling men and women. Although they do not use the same divine servants of Slaanesh as food, they crawl around on all fours like worker ants in an ant colony.
If these things discover Fan Mengjun and his party, the consequences can be imagined.
After taking back the drone, Fan Mengjun gestured to the soldiers behind him to retreat. After rejoining the large army, Fan Mengjun determined a new route. All soldiers received the data of the new route simultaneously.
Everyone got up silently and groped in the darkness towards the maintenance channel of the thermal pipe network system on the side of the confluence area. The team of eighty people was inconspicuous in the huge ecological residential area, but after the fall of the refuge, there was something a little unusual.
Any movement may lead to a bloody massacre, so everyone should keep a low profile as much as possible.
After finding the entrance to the thermal pipe network system behind the factory building connecting the confluence area and the outermost work area of the west area, Fan Mengjun arranged for Dong Bin and other ten people to stay here to take charge of the response, while he took the remaining 70 soldiers into the thermal pipe network.
network system.
At this time, there are still 2900 meters away from the target point.
As the leader of the response team, Dong Bin reduced his personnel as much as possible and established a simple defensive position. At the same time, he asked all team members to enter the maintenance channel, leaving only observation posts to pay attention to the movements inside and outside the factory.
Fan Mengjun and his men continued to move forward in the narrow maintenance channel. They speeded up slightly and soon returned to the vicinity of the confluence area.
When they arrived here, every soldier could clearly hear the continuous moaning, and some soldiers were temporarily absent-minded. Fortunately, Fan Mengjun was prepared in advance to block the source of the sound, which protected the hearts of the soldiers.
After passing through the confluence area, Fan Mengjun glanced at the timer.
More than an hour has passed since the distress signal was sent, and now they are still one kilometer away from the place where the signal was sent. Fan Mengjun is really worried that the survivors will not be able to wait until their rescue arrives.
So Fan Mengjun once again asked to speed up the advance.
But he overlooked one thing, that is, if only an adult walks normally in the narrow maintenance channel, it will not make much noise, but seventy fully armed soldiers, all wearing mechanical exoskeletons, march at such a fast pace.
It is easy to collide with the walls on both sides of the maintenance channel to produce sound.
At first, the sound did not attract the attention of the infected people in the east area outside the wall, mainly because they did not know where these dense clanging sounds came from. But slowly, they began to gather in the direction of the sound.
Fan Mengjun, who discovered that a large number of life signal sources appeared on the detection radar, realized that it was too late to slow down the team when something went wrong.
Especially when waves of women's charming smiles and numbing moans came to his ears, his consciousness was also disturbed. Although the shielded sound source still existed, Slaanesh's servants were the most powerful.
The place is where desires can be spread directly to the pure land they desire to spread to.
Some soldiers have already experienced physiological reactions. Their minds are swaying, their spirits are in a trance, and their steps have become messy.
When constantly raising the audio shielding level was of no avail, Fan Mengjun directly ordered everyone to stay put! The team came to a sudden stop, and everyone was breathing heavily. This was not because they were too tired from running for a long time. In fact, their
Their physical energy is well preserved with the help of exoskeletons, and the reason why they breathe heavily is entirely because their minds are affected by the fallen Slaanesh.
Seeing the team stop, Fan Mengjun said: "Take out your daggers."
The soldiers immediately complied.
Then I saw Fan Mengjun pull out his dagger and cut a blood mark on the side of his face without hesitation: "Whatever you do, let yourself bleed! Wake up!"
The soldiers understood and everyone followed suit. Even the girls did not have the knife stabbed in other parts of their bodies just because they were girls. This kind of helpless behavior would only happen on this special battlefield.
Sure enough, after one blow of the knife, all the evil thoughts and desires were instantly wiped away.
The soldiers did wake up.
Fan Mengjun put the dagger back on his chest and said in a deep voice: "Keep moving forward!"
Five hundred and fifty meters from the target point.
In the No. 37 workshop in the East District, the soldiers who had exhausted their ammunition began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the eaters. However, facing the incredibly powerful eaters, these soldiers quickly became food in the eaters' mouths.
The children were frightened and cried, and the women, with pale faces, protected the children and retreated to Workshop No. 38.
Fortunately, it was discovered that there were not many eaters among these survivors. After those few soldiers fell, they were free to support the soldiers in Workshop 37 and save the bodies of their comrades. But they did not have much ammunition. If the support did not come,
, they can only fall here like these comrades who were bitten to death or had their necks broken.
The outside world has become a hell on earth, and this is the last pure land in the East District of this ecological residential zone.
But most of the survivors in the workshop were women and children, and most of the men had died in the battle. A few dozen soldiers took advantage of the terrain to guard the entrance and exit of the workshop, and then they saved the lives of these hundreds of people.
Putting away the gun, the bearded brother with his head wrapped in a bandage gave a thumbs up to a high place.
There is a young man lying on the commanding heights of the workshop. He has a sniper rifle with sufficient ammunition in his hand. However, the preparation time for this energy-consuming sniper rifle to be fired at one time is too long, and the attack interval is also ten seconds long, so the young man cannot
Provide too much fire support to the fighters on the ground.
However, with him around, many people's lives can still be saved in critical moments.
When the boy saw Brother Beard's thumbs up, he smiled slightly, then took out a lollipop from his pocket and bit it in his mouth.
After cleaning the ground, Brother Beard sat down and lit a pipe: "Hey, why haven't I noticed that this thing smells so good when smoked?"
The dark-faced man next to Bearded Brother glanced at him and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because my life was too comfortable before and there was no pressure."
Brother Beard's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded thoughtfully: "Well... it makes sense... it makes sense..."
After taking a deep breath, the bearded brother stood up and stuffed the remaining half of the cigarette into the black-faced man's mouth. The black-faced man didn't dislike it, he just laughed and cursed: "Look at how stingy you are, give me another one."
He could die!"
Brother Beard didn't say anything and just hit him in the face with an empty cigarette case.
The dark-faced man stopped talking and started smoking cautiously, fearing that he would inhale half of the cigarette in one breath.
The girl who wiped her face clean coughed again after smelling the choking smell of smoke. She had been injured in the chest before. Although she didn't seem to be anything serious, the medics knew she was coughing from the sound of her coughing.
She suffered serious internal injuries, but now she doesn't have any equipment, so she can only use some morphine to make her feel better.
When the black-faced man heard the girl's cough, he didn't dare to smoke the remaining cigarette butt. He immediately threw it on the ground and stamped it out. Then he stood up and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay? I hear your coughing is getting worse and worse.
Woolen cloth?"
The girl waved her hand: "I'm fine... I just don't like the smell."
The black-faced man felt relieved and laughed: "It's better now, the cigarette is gone, and I won't choke you anymore."
Unexpectedly, the girl was not only unhappy when she heard this, but also said "poof" several times, and then she said: "I would rather be choked by you from now on! I don't want to be choked at all!"
The black-faced man reacted for a while before he understood. He smiled awkwardly, slapped his mouth and said, "Ouch! Look at my bad mouth! Haha! Bah, bah, bah! That girl is right!"
Brother Beard looked interesting. He checked his ammunition and said, "Say, Lao Hei, I still have forty-seven bullets here. Do you have more over there? Can I use some?"
The black-faced man rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Are you drunk again? Are we using the same weapon? The calibers of bullets are different. I'll give it to you, and you can use it as peanuts to drink with.
ah?"
Brother Beard pretended not to know: "Hey, is that right? What gun did you use?"
"Maozi's Type 22a semi-automatic, with .31 caliber bullets."
Brother Beard frowned: "Tsk, why do you, a big guy like you, use such a weapon like a girl? It's not like you! How about this, can I trade my domestic B19 fully automatic for you?"
Hearing this, the black-faced man put the weapon at hand into his arms and hid it like a treasure: "Don't come here! You've ruined your b19 to a pulp. My 22a has little firepower."
It’s a bit different, but it’s still a new gun after all!”
Brother Beard laughed. He actually just wanted to tease the black-faced man and relax everyone's tense nerves.
The girl who cleans up her face without even a single encounter is carrying a heavier weapon on her back that is much larger than the caliber of the two people in front of her. She can't hold such a thing even with her strength.
After shooting, even if it is set up and lying on the ground, it may not be able to suppress it. However, the girl has a mechanical exoskeleton, which is equipment that neither the bearded brother nor the black-faced man has.
With it, the girl can also transform into the macho man in First Blood.
While a few people were talking and laughing, a young man ran over in a panic and said: "Captain! Captain!!!"
Brother Beard stopped smiling, picked up the weapon and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh no, Captain! The people over at Warehouse No. 39 said they heard something moving deep inside the warehouse!"
Brother Beard's expression suddenly froze, and the black-faced man immediately picked up his weapon.
"Let's go and have a look." Brother Beard took the black-faced man, the girl and a few soldiers followed the young man to warehouse No. 39. When they arrived, the people in the warehouse had gathered in the corner, responsible for this.
Two soldiers working as security guards at a warehouse were calming the crowd.
Seeing Brother Beard coming, one of the soldiers came over to report: "Ten minutes ago, the grandson of the fourth master's family ran into the pressurized area behind the warehouse. When we arranged for people to find him, we heard something coming from under the equipment in the pressurized area.
There seemed to be some movement, and it sounded like a lot of people were passing by, so I asked Xiao Mingzi to inform you immediately."
Brother Beard frowned: "What is the structure under the pressure zone?"
The girl said: "It's a thermal pipe network system."
Brother Beard's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?"
"Well, the pressurization system delivers power to workshop equipment. It uses old industrial thermal pressurization components from the last century. These equipment are relatively durable, but they are too bulky. I have been there once before with the workshop maintenance staff.
I'm sure it's the thermal pipe network system." The girl answered seriously.
"Um...then...can anyone leave here?"
"Yes! But it can only accommodate one person at a time! And there are so many branches inside, it's easy to get lost without a map to guide you."
Brother Beard fell into deep thought after hearing this.
The black-faced man said: "No matter what, send the people in this workshop to the workshop behind first. We can't let everyone stay in the dangerous area."
Unexpectedly, Brother Beard smiled when he raised his head again: "No need!"
"Why?"
"I guess our savior has arrived!" Brother Huzi said to the girl: "Let's go, take me down and have a look!"
The girl was very excited after hearing this. She nodded sharply and said: "Yes!"
With that said, the two of them walked towards the pressurized area behind Workshop No. 39.
But when they arrived at the pressurized area and found the entrance to the thermal pipe network system, they heard bursts of gunfire and painful screams coming from underground!
At that time, the girl's scalp went numb and she froze on the spot.
Brother Beard, who was still looking excited at first, also changed his expression. He reacted quickly and immediately pulled the girl and retreated. At the same time, he said to the black-faced man who had just followed: "Find some big guys to come over! We have to give this place a chance."
