Crunchy...
Walking in the long passage, the slight sound of mechanical exoskeleton rubbing could be heard in my ears.
The exit is not far away. Just go up the spiral staircase and you can return to the teahouse.
I glanced at the time displayed on the dial and saw that five minutes had passed since the guards left their posts. This was a good time to leave.
"I don't know if the fog outside has cleared..."
Lifting his legs and walking up the stairs, Lu Yu murmured to himself.
Because of the existence of the exoskeleton, he moved very carefully, fearing that an improper operation would make too much noise and expose himself.
However, before Lu Yu could take a few steps, a loud noise suddenly came from above him.
"Huh? Is there anyone?"
Lu Yu stopped cautiously, stretching his neck desperately like a groundhog poking out of its burrow.
The sound coming from the top of the stairs was very vague, and you could vaguely hear people shouting, but the content of the shouts was not clear at all.
"It sounds like there's a lot of chaos outside. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity and run away?"
Thinking in his mind, Lu Yu kept walking and soon finished the spiral staircase and returned to the ground.
The teahouse was empty, no one was there, and the sound came from outside the door.
Sticking to the wall like a thief, Lu Yu cautiously moved towards the exit.
Fortunately, the door was still locked, and according to the noise, the guard on duty outside had left.
"What is shouting outside? Why does it sound like a woman's voice..."
Lu Yu didn't dare to open the door directly, for fear of encountering something unexpected. After thinking about it again, he decided to stick his head out of the window to take a look.
With his head against the curtain, Lu Yu looked out from the gap.
The fog has not disappeared, but it is much lighter than the previous density, and I can barely see the surrounding scenery clearly.
This is a good sign for Lu Yu.
Following the direction of the sound, Lu Yu found a group of figures gathered less than a hundred meters away from the teahouse. Judging from the way they were running back and forth in the mist, they seemed to be in danger.
"Hey, why are these people running around..."
Although the fog had faded a lot, it still affected the vision to a certain extent. Lu Yu looked around for a while, but still couldn't find what the group of people were avoiding.
"Forget it, never mind, they are causing trouble, it's a good opportunity for me to leave..."
He reached out and carefully held the door lock. Just as he was about to open the door, a gunshot suddenly sounded outside!
"Fuck!"
Although it wasn't directed at Lu Yu, it still scared him enough and instantly gave up the idea of opening the door and going out.
However, not long after the gunshot, there was a crackling sound in the fog, like countless whips swinging in the air, causing an explosion in the air.
Screams came from the chaotic figures in the distance, and it sounded like someone had been severely injured.
"What are you doing... Could it be that there is a traitor in the t organization? Then the two sides are fighting?"
Staring intently at the situation in the mist, Lu Yu made random guesses.
The fog blocked his sight, so he couldn't see clearly, and he could only rely on sounds and imagination to deduce what happened.
The first gunshot sounded like a bad start, and soon the air was filled with the pop-pop-pop-pop of gunfire.
The crackling sounds like whips whipping the air became more frequent, and the battle seemed to have entered a fierce stage. "I'd better wait until they finish fighting before I go out..."
Lu Yu secretly muttered something and made a calculation in his mind.
The probability of being discovered when going out now is indeed high. After all, the battle has attracted the attention of both warring parties. They will not notice that there is a young man wearing an exoskeleton sneaking away.
But the risks are also there.
Since the location of the battle was too close to the teahouse, and the fog blocked his line of sight, Lu Yu could not guarantee whether he would run into someone from the T organization head-on during the evacuation.
And bullets don't have eyes. Who knows if some cheating thing with poor marksmanship will accidentally hit him.
Although there is a king-level virus, Lu Yu will probably not die, but if he is unconscious for an hour or three, the probability of being discovered will skyrocket.
After comprehensive consideration, Lu Yu decided to wait and see.
After both sides finish fighting, you can just find a chance to leave.
The ideas are always rich, but the reality is extremely skinny.
Before he could sit and watch for three minutes, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from the side of the teahouse!
Lu Yu didn't even have time to return to the spiral staircase to hide, when the tightly closed door of the teahouse was knocked open with a bang!
The person who crashed into the house was a woman. She was wearing a cool red windbreaker. She had a strong and capable figure. The obvious muscle lines could be seen where the clothes fit her body.
She seemed to be avoiding something. After running into the teahouse, her eyes were still staring behind her.
However, the next second, the woman saw Lu Yu standing blankly by the window.
Glancing at Lu Yu's clothes and the exoskeleton, the woman's eyelids twitched, and the surprise on her face immediately subsided, and she asked directly.
"Are you a guard stationed at the entrance to the research station? State your name and your rank!"
While asking, the woman did not forget to look outside, her whole body tense, as if a monster would burst out of the mist at any time.
Lu Yu did not answer, but looked at the other party quietly.
"What happened? Are you deaf or mute?! Answer my question!"
Seeing Lu Yu ignoring her, the woman was obviously a little angry, but she still stood guard at the door and did not do anything drastic.
"Deaf or mute?"
Lu Yu was worried about how to deal with it. When he heard what the other party said, he raised his brows and immediately became concerned.
His hands flew up and he made several gestures that even he couldn't understand. Then he pointed at his throat and then at his ears.
Combined with the uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh sounds, he looks like a hearing-impaired and voice-impaired person.
The woman did not expect that Lu Yu would show up like this, and her face was obviously stunned.
Even the curses that reached his throat were suppressed.
"No, is he really a deaf-mute?"
Surprised, Honglian glanced at the name on Lu Yu's clothes.
"Lu Yu... I haven't heard of it. I didn't expect that there would be a disabled person among the guards sent by the organization to guard Research Station No. 7... No, if he is really deaf and mute, he should be judged as worthless by the organization. , why would you still appear in this kind of position..."
For a moment, Guren's thoughts were in a mess, and a few more explosions happened to come from the mist behind her, which distracted most of her already not very focused attention.
"No matter, let's go inside first..."
The muscles around his body bulged, and orange-yellow light particles spilled out from the body surface.
Honglian's movement speed increased again, and she rushed straight towards him without opening her mouth to explain to Lu Yu.
In fact, for a moment, Lu Yu wanted to hit the opponent's face with the steel knife in his hand.
But considering the color of the light particles emanating from the opponent's body, Lu Yu restrained this dangerous idea in time.
Just kidding, those orange light particles are fucking pseudo-third-level ability users!
Although he now has the assistance of an exoskeleton, with his own semi-disabled state, it is simply wishful thinking to defeat the opponent.
Instead of betting on whether the sneak attack can be successful, it is better to follow nature and wait and see what happens.
So when Honglian grabbed Lu Yu's arm, his whole body was in a very relaxed state, giving the impression that he was defenseless.
Let the woman be dragged deeper into the teahouse!
However, not long after the two left, a sudden explosion suddenly sounded, and the solid cement wall shattered into pieces the size of a fist.
Naturally, the glass window was shattered into pieces, and the splashing debris was like mist, raising a layer of smoke behind the two of them.
Fortunately, Hong Lian dragged Lu Yu with all his strength, so that he had no time to make a sound, otherwise the young man might have cursed on the spot!
Everything happened so suddenly, without any warning!
After dragging Lu Yu inside for dozens of meters, Honglian stopped, picked up a flying stone, and started writing quickly on the ground.
Lu Yu stared blankly at the wall that disappeared not far away, and then looked at what the woman wrote on the ground.
"I am Honglian, a B+ member of Organization T, and the general manager of Research Station No. 22. Please tell me the current specific situation of Research Station No. 7..."
After finishing writing, Honglian knocked the ground with a stone. Probably thinking that Lu Yu might have been frightened by the movement just now, she reached out and patted the other party's cheek.
"Hey, look here, what's going on under Research Station No. 7? Report it quickly!"
While urging, Honglian stuffed the writing stone into Lu Yu's hand.
The young man raised his brows, and immediately thought that he was still wearing the clothes of a researcher from the T organization.
"Reporting the situation... I bet you regard me as one of your own..."
Without any hesitation, he directly took the stone and began to write on the ground laboriously.
"Everything in Xia...Fang...is...normal...?"
Looking at the crooked words on the ground, Honglian frowned.
"How can everything be normal? If everything is normal, what is going on in the middle of Broken Bridge Lake?!"
"The middle of Broken Bridge Lake? What happened there?"
Without speaking, Lu Yu blinked at Honglian.
"Tsk, I forgot that you are deaf, it's really troublesome..."
Hong Lian's face became even more impatient. She snatched the stone from Lu Yu's hand and scrawled on the ground.
While the woman was writing, Lu Yu took another look at the situation outside.
The mist rolled, the previous figures had disappeared, the gunshots had stopped abruptly, and the only remaining movement was the inexplicable explosion.
It's like the old man in the park is waving his morning exercise whip, making bursts of crackling sounds.
"Hey, look at the ground!"
Honglian finished writing and patted Lu Yu on the shoulder.
"What's going on with the mutated creatures in the center of the lake? Why did they suddenly fall into a riot?"
After staring at the last question mark for a long time, Lu Yu took the stone from Hong Lian and slowly wrote...
