The trembling feeling was already very familiar to Gu Hongdie.
In her twenty-one years of life, there were actually very few physical shocks. Longshan Underground City is a solid and huge city. This super city that can accommodate 12 million people has an extremely complete earthquake resistance and disaster reduction system. Relying on the intricate but huge underground network structure under Longshan, and protected by hundreds of support columns, even the medium-sized earthquakes that occurred almost every year during the shelter era were unable to cause structural damage to the underground city.
With the passing of the sheltering era, the large-scale geological disasters in Longshan are coming to an end. For Gu Hongdie's generation, earthquakes, landslides, and floods have become distant memories of the older generation. Although the surface of the earth is still difficult and dangerous, the smooth road of hope is already on the road.
At this moment, in the safety room of the small nuclear power plant, the rumbling roar outside and the tremor of flying gravel made everyone almost breathless. No one dared to be sure whether they could survive such a cataclysm, or whether they would survive by chance. He came down, only to be trapped here, turning into another form of desperate struggle.
In the extremely uneasy atmosphere, the noise of falling rocks and collapse finally decreased. Gu Hongdie looked at the survivors who were injured or disabled. These forty people were the only ones left from the 300-man commando team two days and one night ago. Almost all high-ranking officers died in the fierce battle at the airdrop point. Either died on the way to Dongfang No. 6. Li Hao, the commander of the Xiaobailong unit, was also trapped in the nest with the killing team at this moment, not knowing whether to live or die.
Looking around, he could hardly find anyone with a rank of lieutenant or above. Gu Hongdie turned her attention to Yao Yingting. She was the leader of the armed scientific expedition team, and she took over the command directly at this time.
At this point, the morale of the team has dropped to the extreme. The coach has died or disappeared in battle, and the tasks have been reversed one after another. There are no reinforcements outside and no supplies inside. They are completely abandoned. Their mission is to lead to a bloody mecha battle between the evil dragon and the imperial people. Until death, and everyone, when faced with such a desperate situation, cannot be as impassioned as the bloody battlefield.
They need an explanation.
Under the gaze of more than forty pairs of eyes, Yao Yingting slowly stood up. She was in a mess, splashed with mud and water, and she didn't look like the dignified and calm life scientist she had before setting off. Her glasses frame was broken on both sides and stuck to her ears with tape, and her face was cut to pieces by rocks. It was inevitable that she would be disfigured.
"Comrades, I must admit that my superiors and I did not tell everyone the truth." With an extreme shortage of manpower, even civilian staff like Yao Yingting had to carry a rifle, which was slanted on his shoulder at the moment.
Someone was carefully wiping his armband. The golden wheat ear badge became dim and somewhat depressed after being soaked in water.
"The ultimate goal of this operation is the country's top secret. Please forgive me for not revealing this secret."
"However, there is no doubt that our actions have achieved the highest interests for the country! Right above our heads, the imperial mechas have crossed our border. There is no doubt that they have launched an invasion, but We contained or even destroyed their mechas, and our sacrifice is more important than Mount Tai!"
Those words lifted people's spirits a little.
Yao Yingting wiped his dirty glasses and continued: "We have completed the mission, and what is left is to fight for our survival! It is only three hundred meters from the surface. We can escape. Once we reach the surface, we can send out a signal. The air force will take us home and witness the destruction of the invaders on the way!"
That's a good point, but someone immediately asked: "How to get out? The safety door was deformed by the water pressure, and people can't swim 300 meters deep!"
The outer safety door was indeed extremely deformed by the pressure. Through the observation hole of the inner safety door, black water could be seen dripping in. It wouldn't take long for the outer door to be crushed. The safe house is located in the corner of a rock crevice, which can avoid extreme situations. Accordingly, without external rescue, self-rescue becomes impractical. The fire escape here has been tried before and was blocked by falling rocks. What's more, the deformation of the outer safety door is undoubtedly a death countdown. The water depth can last for several hours before reaching the nose. Radiation is not so gentle.
"Someone will come." Yao Yingting said firmly.
Somewhere on the surface of Xinghu Lake.
pungent
Twenty-four has always disliked sunlight, or in other words, he hated natural light. He thinks it may be a psychological factor, it should be, because as a traitor of the Renaissance Army in the standard sense, the sunshine has a limit for him. Once he crosses the boundary of Huijiang, the sunshine will become suffocating. , in a physical sense. He knew very well how the Renaissance Army dealt with traitors. The last time he killed a comrade who had joined the Gray Savage camp was by slapping his throat.
The memory only lasted for a brief moment, and Xin Twenty-four's focus of vision never left the surface buildings of Dongfang-6. It is an incredible experience to observe the battle between the evil dragon and the mecha from a periscope perspective. He had to admit that Nielong's three white light nuclear explosions scared him so much that he once thought he was going to die at this reserve point, but he didn't. One thing to say is that the quality of the reserve points built by the Renaissance Army's engineering corps is absolutely no problem, and they can still withstand tactical nuclear bombs exploded five kilometers away after a hundred years.
After determining the radiation intensity on the surface, Xin 24th issued final inspection instructions to his companions behind. Their chemical protective clothing looks the same as the standard Fuxing Army air-tight chemical protective clothing. The difference is that it is painted in Xinghu's black camouflage color, and the sealing material is not common polyester, but a biological material, and it has Slight ups and downs.
"Fungal spores will gradually become active once they reach a strong radiation environment." Xin Twenty-four reminded everyone. "Set the watch to countdown to one hundred and eighty minutes. If you don't want to turn into a mushroom bed by then, move more quickly."
This strange team did not carry any extra weapons. Each person only had a very compact short assault rifle. The remaining backpack space and hanging slots were filled with blood-colored particulate matter, except for necessary life-support components. If Yao Yingting were here, he would be able to recognize it at a glance, this is "Cinnabar".
A substance extracted from the body of the sacred white dragon, a substance recombined at the genetic level, a substance that exists as top secret, a substance that can never be leaked to the gray savages.
"Try to capture the target. If the target resists too violently, take away its brain."
Yao Yingting's words of reassurance reassured the team. The desire for life is just one thing, and honors and rewards after life can be the most powerful motivation. Everyone could tell before setting off that this female scientist was an extraordinary person. Even Commander Xiao Bailong and Li Hao had to seek her opinion. There was no doubt that her promise was credible. A third-class Purple Flag Medal and promotion, preferential treatment and career change are enough to boost everyone's morale.
However, after going out, there are still some last little things to do.
Gu Hongdie ate the last portion of the battle ration. The tasteless energy bar returned to her mouth while she was ruminating unconsciously. Gu Hongdie took a sip of water. Suddenly, the security door roared.
"Bang!"
Several collisions and banging sounds were heard in succession. This was not the sound that water pressure should have. Someone immediately thought that this might be the trace of a strange beast! God knows how many strange animals are raised in Xinghu? There are more than a dozen animals trapped in the nest room alone. This place is simply a paradise for strange beasts! Whenever something like a swamp-dwelling demon comes in, everyone's best choice is to shoot themselves, otherwise they will be eaten alive, or parasitized and broken out by the young. If there is anything more terrifying than being captured by the gray savages, there is no doubt that it is being captured by alien beasts.
The sound of the blows became stronger and stronger, and black water splashed out, filling the space between the outer and inner safety doors in an instant. Many people's chemical protective suits were damaged. Just soaking in the black water for a while would have to say goodbye to normal people. .
There was silence in the safe room, except for the sound of the rifle safety being turned on and the constant sound of swallowing.
With a bang, the outer security door was completely breached, and a strange beast with a fish head and a human face got in. The face was so terrifying that even nightmares made the experienced special forces tremble.
Yao Yingting stood out from the crowd, and she looked directly at the lone mermaid that had just swallowed the corpse of the evil dragon through the observation hole. Its face was fluctuating rapidly at this moment, as if the ripples were about to turn into waves, and its lifeless huge fish eyes were also moving. Looking directly at Yao Yingting.
"Thank you for all your hard work over the years." Yao Yingting said in a low voice, and then she walked towards the manual decompression ring amidst everyone's exclamations.
"Open the security door," she said.
The special operations soldier couldn't believe his ears. It took him a while to react and questioned: "Open the door."
? "
"Open the door, you heard my order."
With a swipe, the gun was pointed at Yao Yingting, and the gunman said: "Doctor, I can die in battle, but I can't let you feed this fish."
Yao Yingting turned around calmly, opened his arms and said, "It's not a fish, it's a person."
"It was then and it is now."
"He has a name, Wen Yinggao. He was the first person to devote himself to Dongfang-6. His loyalty to the country has remained even though he has become what he is now."
"Open the door." Yao Yingting said firmly.
"I'm going first."
Waiting is death, and opening the door is death. Under Yao Yingting's repeated explanations, the door finally opened. The moment the door was opened, the strong coldness of the black water made people shiver, but strangely, the water did not flow in.
And that terrifying lone fish actually made an obscure but still identifiable human voice.
"Don't... be afraid, I am... you."
Under intermittent explanations, the lone mermaid said that the escape passage here was indeed cut off, but only part of it. He could lead people one by one to the unobstructed passage and escort them to escape. But the escort method was unacceptable.
People need to walk into the mouth of the solitary fish one by one.
