Huey leaned against the elevator wall and gasped for air. He had not experienced this feeling of physical and mental exhaustion for almost ten years.
The smooth and cold elevator walls gave Huey an unparalleled sense of security. His condition was very bad, with red and blue blood all over his body, but very little of it belonged to him. He suffered some injuries, but fortunately they were all minor injuries.
The blue blood comes from the strange bird, and the red blood comes from the robe. Huey was one of the two ghost-level ability users who directed the battle. When Griffin was still there, they were still able to hold the line and fight the strange birds vigorously; Griffin was among the birds, and the soldiers' defense line It didn't last long before it collapsed.
Huey is a shrewd man, or rather, he is a selfish man. He was the only one who escaped with his life from the mouth of the strange bird. His ghost-level strength was only one of the reasons, and taking the lives of his subordinates to clear the way was the main reason.
His behavior was indeed to escape from the battlefield and betray his comrades, but he would not be convicted unless the strange bird could speak human language and was willing to testify in court, otherwise there would be no proof of the matter.
The elevator door opened, and Huey reluctantly stood up and staggered out. The mental pressure of walking on the verge of death tortured him. After temporarily escaping from danger, his tense spirit relaxed and he could hardly stand up. What supported him at this moment was his will to survive. Huey knew that he was not completely safe. The strange birds were locked at the bottom of the fortress, but they could corrode all obstacles in the way.
Before Griffin personally carried out the beheading operation, he first ordered the main control room to seal off the passages on each floor, leaving only the elevators for use. Those strange birds must not be evil enough to take the elevator.
This was indeed a clever move, buying time for Huey and the men scattered throughout the fort. The number of strange birds was severely reduced after a melee, but nearly a hundred of them could still massacre the entire fortress, and Fortress No. 5 no longer had the power to resist.
There are still more than two hundred living people here. With the fortress no longer defensible, escape is the first priority. Huey is going to the second underground floor now, where there are submarines that can leave this place.
…
The lowest level, the warehouse. The feast of strange birds has just ended.
"Meow~meow~" the bird king chirped twice after finishing his meal, and a strange bird flew out from the flock. The strange bird sniffed the air with its tubular beak, determined a direction, and flapped its wings towards the bird king. Ask for instructions.
"Meow!"
The bird king leads the way, and the birds follow the king's footsteps and fly in a certain direction together.
That's the direction of the elevator.
…
"What's going on?" Huey grabbed a person and asked.
"I don't know! Everyone's information card cannot be swiped to open the door of the submarine warehouse!"
Huey refused to give up, pushed aside the panicked crowd, and used his card to swipe the door. Naturally, the door would not open.
The atmosphere of despair spread among the crowd. It was obvious that the door of the submarine depot was remotely locked by someone with higher authority. Without entering the submarine depot, there was no way to escape.
Seeing the crazy people trying their best to destroy the door, Huey was surprisingly calm. He locked the door to prevent the people here from escaping. If you can lock the door, you can also lock the submarine. It's just more convenient to lock the door. . After thinking about this, Huey turned around and left. He wanted to go to the bridge on the first floor.
When I pressed the elevator button, the door opened but there was no car inside. There were sparks flashing in the elevator shaft. The bottom of the elevator shaft was dark beyond the sight. A cat meowed from the darkness:
"Meow meow~"
The bird king's call started from the bottom, echoed all the way in the elevator shaft, and finally reflected to Huey's ears. It sounded like an invitation from the devil to Huey.
"The ghost is still here!" Huey's exhausted body once again squeezed out some potential and fled along the planned route. As for the people here, it would take a long time for the strange bird to digest more than two hundred people, right?
Strange birds are very good predators. All their facial features except their eyes are located on the whip-shaped mouthparts, which are the mouth, nose and ears. Well-developed olfactory and auditory nerves enable them to track prey with ease. Following the smell of Huey's blood, the strange bird can chase the elevator.
The highly corrosive liquid is actually their stomach acid. The body structure of the strange bird is very strange. Its stomach is on its back and behind its head. They can dissolve their cages by vomiting stomach acid, but they rarely use it as a means of attack - just like humans, vomiting is uncomfortable.
The Bird King was very angry. Several of his subordinates tried to corrode the car through the elevator shaft. As a result, the car fell off, and the roaring elevator took away the lives of his subordinates. The bird king, who had lost several members of his tribe for nothing, became very angry and roared loudly, leading the birds to fly up to the second underground floor.
The captain of the "Tropic of Cancer" looked at the isolation cover in front of him and was stunned: "Is this No. 5?"
The captain, who has served in the federal navy for thirty years and has been in charge of this nuclear submarine in Ten Thousand Islands County for ten years, believes that he knows the waters around the Philippine Islands as well as the swimming pool in his back garden. The shock of seeing Fortress No. 5 with his own eyes at this moment was no different than the mermaid swimming out of his swimming pool.
Unbeknownst to the captain, there was a pair of eyes meeting his own, and that was Huey. Huey looked at the shining "Tropic of Cancer" outside the glass curtain wall, and felt a surge of joy from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He can survive! There was only a glass and five hundred meters of sea water between him and Noah's Ark!
The glass curtain wall that constructs Fortress No. 5 is certainly very strong, but solidity is also relative. It can block seawater erosion, fish collisions, and ocean current impacts, but these are all external defenses. All fortresses are breached from the inside, and today's Fortress No. 5 is no exception.
The screams coming from the earphones made Huey uncomfortable. The strange birds started their second meal. He only hoped that the strange birds could eat slower. His physical condition was so bad that he needed time to prepare a shock wave strong enough to break through the glass curtain wall.
"Shock Wave" is Huey's ability. When he was in the warehouse, he used the reflection of the shock wave to escape at high speed.
The shock wave can only open a hole in the curtain wall, but the crazy intrusion of sea water and the difference in internal and external pressure will make the glass overwhelmed and completely shattered, just like an eggshell, which cannot be broken by holding it, but will break when knocked.
Once the glass curtain wall is opened, Huey faces the water pressure of forty meters underwater. His ghost-level physical fitness can barely support him to swim to the "Tropic of Cancer" at this depth, even if he is exhausted.
He was five hundred meters from the submarine and only forty meters from the water, but Huey didn't dare to soak in the water. The water-like patterns on the bodies of the strange birds indicate that they are also a branch of water-patterned beasts, and water-patterned beasts are all good at using water. Huey judged that the strange bird could move underwater like a penguin, and there was no way to survive in the water.
"Damn it! Time is running out." There were no more screams and sporadic gunshots in the earphones. This group of diners seemed to be unable to get enough and would soon swarm over to enjoy the last piece of meat in Fortress No. 5. "Can't the submarine come closer?"
As if Huey's prayers had come true, using the light source of the Tropic of Cancer, he saw several balls ejected from the front end of the submarine, breaking through the waves.
Is it a rescue diving bell? Huey didn't have time to think about it, and punched the curtain wall with his right arm.
The glass curtain wall was penetrated, and seawater poured into the fortress along the hole. Cracks spread along the entrance of the hole. Soon the remaining glass could no longer support it, and large pieces shattered. The big bowl-like isolation cover really died like a bowl with one side broken.
Huey fired a shock wave downward with both feet, and the reaction force pushed him into the air. He was waiting for the diving bell. The strange birds were already on the bridge, and time was running out.
He waited.
A huge hole appeared in the isolation cover, allowing the diving bell to pass through the glass. Huey rushed to the one closest to him. The diving bell of this era was basically a small submarine. Huey could drive it safely to the Tropic of Cancer.
After getting closer and seeing the appearance of the diving bell clearly, Huey felt a little strange: this was a little different from the diving bell in his impression.
Before he could figure it out, the "diving bell" exploded, and he was blown to pieces for no apparent reason.
On the "Tropic of Cancer", the captain was puzzled: "Why did the metal wall break before the depth charges exploded?" Then he was relieved: "Whatever, we can save a few bombs."
The glass of the isolation cover is one-way, and the captain cannot see everything happening in the fortress, nor will he know about Huey's "help".
The fortress was plowed through by more than a dozen depth charges, and the isolation barrier was completely shattered; the bombs detonated the weapons in the fortress, and the explosion spread from the first floor to the lowest level. Fortress No. 5, which had been stationed in Well No. 5 for thirty-nine years, no longer exists, along with the black hole in the hall.
There was such a shocking change at the bottom of Manila Bay, but no one noticed it on the water - the cruise ships and fishing boats in the nearby waters had all received instructions to leave the sea 40 minutes ago.
Therefore, no one noticed that a vertical water line was approaching the water surface, like penguins hunting underwater in Antarctica.
The Bird King is still alive! The loyal tribesmen used flesh and blood to forge a shield to protect it from disaster.
It flew out of the sea, and sixteen "Pelican" fighter jets immediately spotted the bird king and pounced on it like a hungry tiger. Fifteen minutes ago, the pilots received the order:
Destroy everything that comes out of the sea!
The King of Birds was the only creature that came out of the sea, and sixteen advanced human fighter jets sent it back to the sea.
In the night, the tail flames of the "Pelican" fighter jets flickered on and off, as if paying homage to all the victims in this battle.
