At this moment, the No. 39 Sewage Treatment Plant was no longer as peaceful as before. The sound of gunfire and explosions resounded above the reservoir.
In this silent doomsday, residents in the distance can faintly hear the movement here.
As everyone continued to shoot, at this moment, the red light on their muzzles gradually dimmed until it completely disappeared.
This also means that weapons will no longer enjoy the enchantment effect of silence.
But at this moment, muting the sound is no longer important. The most important goal of the Rat Exterminator team is to prevent these mutants from rushing over.
Fortunately, Ashley has now destroyed the slope, causing them all to be trapped in the reservoir below, unable to break through their defenses for a while.
"Damn it! Our ammunition is almost running out! We can't drag it out any longer! We must retreat quickly!"
Andrea's face became extremely ugly when she saw the mutants becoming more and more crowded.
The expressions of the other people were similar to his. They never thought that there were so many mutants hidden under the reservoir.
When I asked for information in the tavern before, I never heard that there would be so many.
The nearby residents also thought that there were only about 20 people here, which was already overwhelming, but the actual number of people was more than five times the expected number.
There are more than a hundred mutants, and they have no way to deal with them.
"You can't retreat directly! They will catch up!"
Morris pulled the trigger crazily and yelled:
"You guys leave first, I'll stay to break up the rear! This way I can hold them back!"
Several people were stunned when they heard this, and Andrea shook his head wildly.
"No! Boss! If you want to leave, you have to leave first! I'll break up the rear! You still have a sister-in-law to take care of after you go back! You can't die here!"
"Get out! I'm the captain, so of course I stay! Don't think I don't know, don't you have a daughter at home! Why are you pretending to be a loner here!? Get out of here!!"
Morris roared, and immediately blocked the other party's words.
He was now determined to die.
Anyway, he was so seriously injured that he couldn't run fast.
In that case, it's better to give the chance of survival to the brothers who are fighting with him.
"I...I divorced my wife a long time ago...my ex-wife will take care of my daughter, no problem..."
Andrea made a quibble, but his confidence was obviously lacking.
Obviously he also knows that based on the current situation, it is wisest to let the captain stay and break up the team.
But as a teammate who shares life and death together, how could he bear to leave the other party here alone to wait for death?
What's more, what they are facing is a group of mutants who eat people but don't spit out bones.
Just thinking about what will happen to the person left behind makes people shudder.
While several people were still arguing over who should stay, the guy with glasses on the side slowly put down his gun, turned around and walked towards a small room on the side.
"Lumen! What are you doing!?"
Feeling the decrease in firepower output around him, Kiko glanced in surprise at the direction where the glasses guy was going, with an expression on his face full of disbelief.
"He's right! Let's go! Leave me alone! We're running out of ammunition! There's no time to waste! Get out of here!!"
Morris yelled.
"Farke! Farke! Farke! Farke! Farke!"
Kiko cursed several times, but his feet did not move at all.
"Boom~Boom, boom~"
At this moment, a series of deafening sounds suddenly sounded around everyone, and even the ground shook slightly.
The movement was so loud and sudden that all the hunters in the Rat Exterminator team were stunned.
Not only them, but the mutants below who were constantly gathering here also paused and their offensive slowed down.
"what happened?"
Andrea raised her head in confusion, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Look! It's there!!"
Kiko pointed at the wall at the edge of the slope and shouted.
Everyone quickly followed his gesture and looked over.
At the top of the slope, there were two thick metal plates extending from the sides. Those sounds were exactly what the valve made when it moved.
"This is……"
Morris' expression changed, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and his face showed surprise.
"Quick, quick, quick! Shoot! Shoot! Don't let them come up! Use all the bullets!!"
The next moment, he suddenly shouted and called on everyone to continue shooting at the mutants.
The gunshots were fired again, this time seeming to be more violent than before.
Kiko was a little confused at first and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Why does the boss suddenly feel like he's been given a shot of blood, with an excited expression on his face?
But later, as the two metal plates on the side continued to move, he finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that this is not a metal plate at all, but the valve of this reservoir!
As long as you wait for the two valves to be closed, you and others can lock those mutants down, and you will be safe!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the small house.
There, Lumen waved to him through the window and tapped his temple.
When Kiko saw this, he took a deep breath.
Good guy, you are making fun of yourself for being brainless!
But now he is not angry at all.
There is no other way, who wants others to save themselves?
Below, as the reservoir valve closed, the mutants with even slower brains finally reacted and began to roar and rush upward.
Some mutants even began to pull on the two valves with their hands, trying to prevent them from closing.
However, such a huge machine cannot be stopped by humans, even if they are mutants.
The valve slowly closed with unstoppable momentum, as if it were a Gate of Tartarus, which could immediately lock the devils below into hell.
At this final moment, everyone in the Rat Exterminator team was already red-eyed, with full firepower. Even the twin blasting machine guns in Kiko's hands were almost useless.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
There were gunshots and roars.
There was chaos on the scene, and sparks reflected on everyone's face, giving them a hint of madness.
"Didi~didi~didi~dip~"
There was a brief and rapid sound. It turned out that Lumen came back and dropped a concussion grenade towards the slope below.
"Cover your ears!"
The glasses guy reminded.
When Morris saw this, he threw away the gun in his hand without thinking, leaned over and covered his ears with both hands.
"Buzz!!"
The next second, powerful vibrations swept through, and the terrifying sound waves mixed with the air blew everything around them away.
The solid metal walls in all directions also vibrated, and dust fell from them.
Kiko lay on the ground and wanted to scold the culprit, but the sand and gravel flying around him made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes, let alone speak.
If the aftermath is like this, let alone the mutants below who bear the brunt.
The few people who were blocked at the entrance of the slope and were about to rush up were immediately blasted out. Their bodies were torn apart in the powerful explosion, and they couldn't even scream.
The crowd behind them also had a hard time. They were swept downwards by the huge kinetic energy, and fell one after another like tarot cards.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the valve finally closed, and the two metal plates hit each other heavily, making a dull sound.
"Success!"
Morris fell to the ground.
The series of high-intensity shooting just now made his already serious injuries even deeper.
"Beep~ The purification process has been started~ The water level is being raised, please wait..."
Behind, an electronic beep suddenly sounded in the small house.
This was ancient language, but Morris didn't understand it because the speaker was not a human being, and his Tonghua imprint could not allow him to understand the meaning expressed by the machine.
But at this time, even if they don't understand, it doesn't prevent everyone from understanding the meaning of those words.
Because in their ears, they could clearly hear the sound of water pouring.
Obviously, this is a reservoir for purifying sewage, and the most indispensable thing in the reservoir is naturally water.
"Ho ho ho!!"
The mutants below roared unwillingly, but through the thick metal valve, the sound reached the ears of the Rat Exterminator team, and only a whisper remained.
There was a hint of cruelty in Morris's eyes.
Presumably, this will be the "last whisper" of those monsters.
Devil, it's better to stay in hell.
Time passes minute by minute.
At first, crashing and roaring sounds could be heard from below, but as the water level continued to rise, and as the reservoir was filled with sewage, the movement inside became smaller and smaller, until finally it disappeared.
The members of the Rat Exterminator team gathered around and looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with joy of surviving the disaster and joy of completing the mission, as well as a touch of unnoticeable fear.
More than a hundred people were killed in this way at once. Although they were mutants that were no different from monsters, such a large-scale massacre still made them feel a little heavy in their hearts.
This does not mean that a few people have any sympathy.
It's just a little bit of guilt that comes from being a human - or rather a humanoid creature.
However, when they think of what these mutants have done and what they have seen along the way, the sense of guilt in everyone's hearts suddenly disappears.
"Lumen! You have done a great job this time! We are able to complete the mission and come back alive this time, thanks to you!"
Kiko stood by the valve of the reservoir and began to praise the glasses man loudly.
"Captain, I propose that after we return, the rewards obtained from the mission should be distributed to our meritorious officials in a limited amount! This time, I won't take my share, and give it all to Lumen!"
Morris was leaning against the wall, and Ashley was using a portable medical kit to briefly treat his injuries. Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at him and said funnyly:
"Kiko, didn't you look like you wanted to eat him just now? Why are you taking the initiative to ask for credit for him now?"
The strong black man suddenly looked embarrassed, scratched his head and said:
"Boss, you know me, how could I have any bad intentions... I also misunderstood at the time, thinking that this kid wanted to escape alone... Lumen, it's my fault, I shouldn't doubt you... "
As he said this, he thought about the glasses man apologizing.
The latter didn't take what happened just now to heart, and just waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"Well, Lumen must be credited with his contribution. After all, without him, we might have ended up here, let alone killing so many mutants."
Morris spoke.
He took out Fanxing's mobile phone and briefly counted the gains this time. When the total points gained were calculated, he, the captain, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"75 points! Add the number of people in the mission target, and the final total is 575 points! Good guy! This will catch up with us after one year of work!"
He looked happy, and the other people were also very excited when they heard this.
"Lumen, by the way, how did you find the switch over there? I didn't even notice that it was a water purification facility at first."
Morris turned his attention to Brother Glasses and asked the other two what they thought.
Lu Men didn't look arrogant at all at this moment, he still said calmly:
"It's very simple. You can make a judgment based on the terrain and surrounding facilities. The most important thing is..."
He pointed to the warning sign on the side of the road.
"We came here all the way, and there were these signs posted on both sides of the road. Even if you think with your toes, you should know that this must be a very dangerous facility."
Morris was stunned at first, then showed a surprised expression and asked:
"Lumen, can you understand the text above? When did you learn the ancient language?"
The glasses guy pushed up his glasses and explained:
"You don't need to know the words. Sometimes when interpreting a new language, you can judge it by the environment in which it appears..."
“Especially for warning signs like this that appear frequently, combined with the surrounding reservoir environment and the patterns on them, it’s easy to guess what they mean.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the hut on the side and said:
"The console over there is also very simple. You can operate it with just one click, just like in the game."
Everyone listened to him recount the process of breaking the game, and they all secretly sighed that their teammates were becoming more and more powerful and already had the potential to become a big boss.
They are undergoing renovations here and plan to evacuate later. After reporting the situation here to the Covenant, Weiss will decide whether to come over to inspect the results.
However, just where they didn't pay attention, the heavy valve suddenly trembled, and the dust on its surface shook slightly, just like the confetti on the stereo, which was weak and imperceptible.
