All the details were connected in Yin Ji's mind, and finally an accurate and terrifying answer was formed...
"That's right, these are the bugs I saw on the first floor before! So many, so many!"
In Mao Jiarui's field of vision, the darkness in the distance that could swallow up light and shadow had already changed its appearance. Strange bugs of different sizes were piled up like a mountain, and they were slowly crawling towards the passage with four jointed limbs.
It was like a wave of life. Although the momentum was not violent, it was enough to make the people in front of it feel scared and trembled.
Maozi, who was the first to notice the situation, had already retreated to the entrance of the passage. For some reason, the sniper of the assassination team seemed to be particularly afraid of those invisible bugs.
When I was on the first floor, I only saw one and was already losing control of my emotions.
Now that he encountered such a massive swarm of insects, Mao Jiarui felt that his legs were weak and he might fall to the ground at any time.
"Boss, what should we do?"
Wu Qi and Yin Ji were in the same situation. They could not see the rolling swarm of insects as clearly as Mao Jiarui.
In their eyes, they could only see the shadows moving in front of them.
From the previous fifty meters away, it slowly moved to about forty meters.
Facing Wu Qi's inquiry, Yin Ji did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned the flashlight in his hand and directed the beam elsewhere.
He wants to grab time! Before the swarm of insects approached them, they searched for traces of Yang Xiu in this underground space.
"Brother Yin, let's withdraw..."
Mao Jiarui's voice came from behind. At this moment, he was shaking like chaff. He didn't even dare to look directly at the swarm of insects in front of him. He only dared to look at his teammates.
"Brother Mao, even if you are afraid, there is no need to be so afraid... We have all been sprayed with isolation agent. Isn't it clearly stated in the mission information given by the organization? Under the influence of the isolation agent, there is a high probability that those mutated creatures will not be able to survive." They'll find us."
Wu Qi, who noticed Mao Jiarui's abnormality, said that he was now the calmest person in the team second only to Yin Ji. Although he was equally frightened, he was far less exaggerated than Mao Jiarui.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. Anyway, I'm just scared. Let's evacuate quickly..."
Mao Jiarui shouted like an out-of-control child.
"Wu Qi, hold on to Mao Zi!"
After a moment of searching, Yin Ji seemed to have discovered something. He confessed without looking back, and then turned off the flashlight in his hand.
The entire underground space instantly fell into darkness.
As the light disappeared, Wu Qi and Mao Jiarui subconsciously held their breath and silenced their voices.
For a moment, the only sound left in this dark space was the faint rustling sound coming from the front.
It seemed that due to the fear that was constantly fermenting in his heart, Mao Jiarui pulled Wu Qi beside him and murmured in a low voice.
"Brother Yin, why did you turn off the lights? Now you can't see anything?"
Hearing Mao Zi's muttering, Wu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reminded him.
"Have you forgotten that Brother Yin has not relied on artificial light from the beginning? His first-level ability seems to have improved his visual ability in some aspects, allowing him to easily see in dim environments."
"The reason why the boss turned off the lights must be because he discovered something. The two of us just stay here and nothing will happen!"
Patting Mao Jiarui on the shoulder as if comforting, Wu Qi expressed his inference.
But when his right hand fell, the palm
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The feeling coming from the middle is a little strange.
Because Mao Jiarui was a mercenary, his physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Coupled with his position as a sniper in the team, his daily shooting training has made his shoulders extremely strong. If he slaps them with a little force, a bang bang sound will be heard.
But at this moment, after Wu Qi slapped twice, the feedback from his palm was soft and elastic. It seemed that what he was photographing was not Mao Jiarui's strong shoulders, but a big lump of greasy fat.
After noticing this strangeness, Wu Qi paid special attention.
He didn't make a fuss like Mao Jiarui, and the body next to him didn't move at all. He just carefully retracted his palm and pulled out the dagger.
"Brother Mao, do you still remember what happened at Research Station 7?"
After getting ready, Wu Qi listened to the approaching rustling in the distance and said quietly in the darkness.
"What, of course I remember this. Why are you asking this now? You'd better quickly think of a way to help Brother Yin..."
When Mao Jiarui heard Wu Qi's question, there was an obvious pause in his answer, but he made up for it later with a fast speaking speed, which sounded like he was blaming the other party for being distracted.
If a normal person heard this answer, they would definitely focus their attention back on Yin Ji or the insect swarm, no longer caring about the abnormality that had happened before, let alone whether Mao Jiarui answered the question directly.
But Wu Qi did not.
He turned his palms and adjusted the drawn dagger to the best position. Then, as if he didn't hear what Mao Jiarui said, he continued to sigh in a tone of recalling the past.
"Do you remember Lao Xia? He was bitten to death by the out-of-control Experiment No. 7. What a pity. If I had been faster, I could have pulled him out of the door..."
Hearing that Wu Qi didn't mean to change the topic, but instead started talking, Mao Jiarui seemed to have lost his patience and responded very perfunctorily.
"Yes, yes, if you had been faster, you might have been able to pull Lao Xia out of the door. Oh, it's such a pity, but don't blame yourself, Lao Xia won't blame you..."
The deliberately suppressed response sounded in the darkness and reached Wu Qi's ears.
"Yes, if only I had been faster..."
Wu Qi's voice was cold. The moment he spoke, the right hand holding the knife suddenly moved and stabbed Mao Jiarui fiercely in the dark!
The position where the knife fell was exactly the shoulder he had patted before!
"ah!"
Mao Jiarui's screams echoed in the darkness. He had no idea that Wu Qi, who was lamenting the past a second ago, would suddenly attack him at this moment.
"Weapon, you are crazy, why did you stab me?"
Although he was stabbed on the shoulder, Mao Jiarui was an intensifier after all, and Wu Qi's attack was not at a critical point, so it did not pose much of a threat to his life.
"I'm not crazy, you are not Brother Mao, who are you!"
Wu Qi's voice sounded in the darkness. At this moment, he had already left Mao Jiarui, and moved to distance himself from him.
"Who the hell could I be? I am Mao Jiarui. Why did you go crazy all of a sudden? What did Brother Yin do? It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Let's evacuate quickly..."
Mao Jiarui roared angrily, like a mad beast.
"Hmph, if you were Brother Mao, how could you not remember No. 7 Research Institute?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Find out what happened at the station! How could you not remember how Lao Xia died! "
Wu Qi's words were full of coldness, and there was no warmth at all.
He knew very well that as a member of the assassination team, Mao Jiarui might forget other things, but he would never forget Lao Xia's death.
Because Lao Xia was not bitten to death by Experimental Subject No. 7 at all, and the plot of pulling the other party out of the door just mentioned was all Wu Qi's casual nonsense.
Among the surviving members of the Backstabbing Team, no one has ever seen Experimental Subject No. 7!
But when Wu Qi said these casually made-up sighs, Mao Jiarui did not show any doubt. Instead, he acted as if things were going to happen that way.
"Uh... Lao Xia... my head..."
After hearing what Wu Qi said, Mao Jiarui fell silent in the darkness. After a few breaths, there was a whisper full of doubts.
"What happened?"
Just as the two were in a stalemate, Yin Ji's voice sounded from the darkness. At the same time, Wu Qi felt his shoulders sink. It was Yin Ji who held his shoulders.
"Boss, something is wrong with Brother Mao. I just tried to fake Lao Xia's situation, but he didn't show any doubt."
Before Wu Qi could finish speaking, the white flashlight beam lit up with a snap and shot out from Wu Qi's right side, targeting Mao Jiarui in front of him.
I don't know if it was because he was stabbed by Wu Qi, but Mao Jiarui's already frightened face was full of fear. The gas mask was worn crookedly on his face, and the sound of heavy breathing continued to come from it.
Wu Qi's dagger was inserted diagonally into Mao Jiarui's shoulder. Mao Jiarui did not reach out to pull it out, but just hugged his body helplessly.
"His condition is indeed not right. Let's get out of here first. Let's go outside!"
After just a quick glance, Yin Ji turned off the flashlight again. At the same time, Wu Qi felt a weight on his back and a soft body on top of him.
"You carry Sheep and Scorpion on your back and go first, I'll take Maozi out from behind!"
Yin Ji's orders were concise and powerful, without any sloppiness.
"good!"
Wu Qi responded without any ink, and went into the passage with Yang Xiu on his back.
He didn't have Yin Ji's ability to see in the dark, so he could only judge the direction of progress by constantly groping the cave walls.
Fortunately, there is only one passage from the growth area to the second underground space, and there are no other forks. Despite bumps and bumps along the way, we finally reached the end of the passage smoothly.
After fumbling to open the lock on the door, Wu Qi rushed out of the passage in one stride. After placing Yang Xiu on his back on the ground, he prepared to go back to meet Yin Ji.
Not long after this idea came up, there was a sound of running footsteps in the dark passage behind.
"Close the door quickly!"
A very recognizable voice came out from behind the gas mask. It was Yin Ji who was leading Mao Jiarui to withdraw.
The flashlight was thrust into Wu Qi's hand. Yin Ji loosened his arms and put Mao Jiarui on his back to the ground.
I don't know if it was because Yin Ji knocked Mao Jiarui unconscious, but the tall sniper seemed to have lost consciousness and lay on his back without any movement.
After closing the door, Wu Qi turned on the flashlight again.
Due to previous changes in the growth area, Wu Qi's first concern was Mao Jiarui.
But he never expected that when the white light illuminated the moment, Wu Qi was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he broke into a cold sweat...
