The communication was cut off at this time? Everyone knew something was wrong.
"Get ready to fight!" Lu Li gave the order, and the four of them raised their assault rifles.
Inside the stronghold, Xiaosong and others were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"Brother Song, it can't be done." A man said nervously with a grimace.
"Brother Song, our computers have all been implanted with Trojan viruses." Another person stared blankly at the green screen of the computer, helpless.
"Our stronghold is only a small-scale local area network. The network connections and all network protection established are too low-end and can be easily destroyed or penetrated." Someone said.
Xiaomatsu gritted his teeth. The person who had been against him and others several times was definitely not a small group or a small force. Judging from his ability to destroy the entire network system he had established in just a few seconds, the opponent was definitely a huge organization and had the ability to destroy the entire stronghold. The ability to do everything within.
"You guys, continue to try to clean up the Trojan virus. Others, use all the methods you can think of to restore communication with the boss and the others!" Xiaosong commanded.
In the basement where Lu Li and others were, in a corner that the four people hadn't noticed, a life form soaked in a glass column suddenly opened its eyes.
"Lu, listen, what's the sound?" Ben suddenly made a silent gesture, and several people held their breath and listened carefully.
It seemed like a crisp sound like glass breaking into cracks.
Lu Li's heart was beating wildly, as if his heart would burst out of his throat in the next second.
"Wow——"
The four people raised their guns in one direction.
"Is a glass column broken?" Ding Xiangling listened carefully to the sound.
Then, the four of them heard an even weirder sound, a dull gurgling sound like a person's throat was uncomfortable.
"Be careful!" In the dim light, Lu Li suddenly picked up the gun in his hand and fired several shots in front of Ben.
Before Ben could react, he fell backwards and fell to the ground, looking at the things in front of him that Lu Li had smashed into sieves in shock.
The man was lying face down on the ground, and the tentacles on his back were still swaying upwards, trembling like an electric shock.
But before a few people could take a breath, several more subtle sounds of glass breaking sounded everywhere.
"The glass containers here are too dense. Bullets can easily hit other glass. If we shoot like crazy here, we will have to release everything in these glasses." Ding Xiangling immediately realized that they were now the problem we are facing.
"But what if we don't shoot? Why wait for them to attack us?" Ben said through gritted teeth.
While several people were still arguing, there were sounds of glass breaking in several places.
Everyone didn't care where the bullets had hit. They could only focus on the crisis that they and others were facing. The four people raised their guns and pulled the triggers at the unknown thing that was rushing towards them with claws and teeth.
"Ben, get out of the way!" Xiao Qiu suddenly rushed towards Ben's direction.
Lu Li hurriedly turned his head, only to see that one of those things had pounced on Ben's back.
"It's too late!" Lu Li grabbed Xiao Qiu.
The thing hugged Ben tightly from behind, and Ben struggled hard. He was a powerful man and a person who had undergone special training, but Ben couldn't break free from the shackles of the thing behind his back.
Not long after, under the horrified eyes of the other three people, Lu Li, the squirming tentacles behind the thing began to attack Ben. Ben's heart-rending screams echoed in the huge space, and others could hear them. The three of them felt terrified, but they could only stand helpless and watched Ben's entire body being entangled by all the tentacles.
Soon, all the tentacles were retracted, and the thing let go of Ben, and then rushed towards Lu Li and the others.
Lu Li didn't hesitate, raised his gun and fired. The thing twitched and fell in front of Lu Li.
"Ben...you, you're okay..." Lu Li stepped forward cautiously, but before he could finish his words, he was so frightened that he backed away.
Ben rushed to Lu Li and the three others turned their heads.
His eyes were bloodshot and scarlet. His originally white-skinned face could be described as pale, with no blood at all. On his pale face, strips like nematodes appeared on the thin surface. It was crawling and moving under the thin skin, which was extremely strange.
Ben seemed to still retain some slight consciousness. He raised his arms in panic, watching the changes that had taken place.
"NO..." Ben whispered something incoherently. He tore off his equipment in a panic and tore his clothes into pieces.
Several people looked at what happened to Ben and felt only trembling and fear. Although they were anxious, they were unable to offer any form of help.
Ben felt extremely desperate at this moment, and he moved towards Lu Li and the others tremblingly.
"HELP...HEIPME..." When it was about to end, Ben shouted in English.
But how could Lu Li and the others dare to approach Ben, who was undergoing a sudden change at this moment? Although Ben and the others had been through life and death for a long time, and had long been regarded as family members by everyone in the stronghold, now, Lu Li and the others were in tears and kept retreating. Lu Li slowly Ben shook his head.
I couldn't save him, I couldn't save my brother who had fought side by side in the past. Now I could only watch my brother gradually lose his consciousness and become that kind of alien creature. Several people burst into tears.
Ben stopped in despair, and the hand extended to Lu Li and the others slowly dropped.
When Ben raised his head towards Lu Li and the others again, his pupils had turned deathly gray.
The next second, the "dead" Ben roared and rushed towards Lu Li and the others.
"Get out of the way!" Lu Li pushed Xiao Qiu away and hid to the side with Ding Xiangling.
Ben frantically attacked Lu Li and others, but no one was willing to shoot.
After all, they were former comrades-in-arms, so Lu Li and the others couldn't do this no matter what.
"Alu, I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry, let me end your pain."
Finally, Ding Xiangling knew that the current situation should be over, and she raised her gun.
Just when Ben rushed in front of Lu Li, a gunshot rang out.
The bullet was inserted into the back of Ben's head, and Lu Li watched helplessly as Ben's body slowly fell.
Silence returned.
The three people fell to the ground, and for a long time, no one made a sound.
Lu Li stared blankly at Ben's body, watching his former brother die in such a tragic way.
The three of them just sat there blankly.
"What...what time is it? How long have we been here?" Suddenly, Xiao Qiu raised his head and asked.
