The car kept moving, and half a minute later, a burst of gunshots and screams came from the front.
"Ah - help!"
"Crazy, they're all crazy-"
"No, please, don't eat me."
boom! boom! Several more gunshots were fired, and the sounds of metal flying and heavy objects falling could be heard.
The three off-road vehicles suddenly stopped. Qiao Long jumped out of the vehicle and asked the gang members to follow him. The men pulled the bolts of their guns and began to advance on guard.
Hesia pressed lightly on the car seat, then jumped out, her light body sliding through the dark cave without making any sound.
Although ordinary people can't see the dark cave around and can only use car lights and partial flashlights to patrol, it is not difficult for her.
When the abilities attached to the extraordinary job are activated, the surrounding environment is presented in the mind as if it were scanned by radar, even some blind spots behind him are not missed.
The employment agency I chose when I was a kid because I was afraid of the dark turned out to be inexplicably useful in this underground environment.
Avoiding the stones in the darkness, Hesia took out the gun from her coat pocket, held it in her hand, and got used to it a little.
Although I had never used a real gun before, the school provided a week of simulated electronic gun training and introduced the use of some basic weapons.
The Federation of Roses has not fought wars for a long time, and this is all that is left of its military education.
It is said that in the Federation four hundred years ago, every high school student had to participate in military training for nearly half a year, and became familiar with the use of various weapons, the driving of fighter planes, and even the simple operation of warships. The civil war at that time was very tragic, with dozens of people fighting almost every month. Millions were drafted into the army.
Following quietly, several gang members occasionally turned around and were slightly surprised to see this girl acting quietly. It seemed that this girl was not the kind of vase they expected.
Soon, a firefight began from the front.
The fierce gunfire was almost continuous. Under such firepower, the out-of-control people wandering and attacking in the distance were beaten into minced flesh and slowly fell down.
Half a minute later, Qiao Long raised his hand and the people behind him stopped firing.
A group of people walked through the brightly lit area with Hesia in the middle, while several others checked the surroundings and asked about the survivors.
"Where did these out-of-control people rush from just now? What else do you know?" A gang member grabbed a man who was shaking with fear and asked him to lean against the stone wall and talk.
"I, I..." His fingers were trembling, and his voice was full of panic.
Although the underground world is cruel, it is still too shocking to see an out-of-control person eating a living person. The scene of his intestines and internal organs being pulled out is something he will never forget for the rest of his life.
"I said, say." Seeing the gang member take out a gun and put it on his head, he finally calmed down.
"They came from the east gate, yes, from the direction of the east pipeline. At first we thought it was an enemy attack, but later we realized something was wrong."
"Didn't you resist?" Qiao Long walked out from among the gang members.
"We tried shooting, but there was a powerful guy among them. He moved very fast, and the scattered bullets hitting him were not fatal. He rushed over and bit Will's neck into pieces."
"Then others panicked, and then some started running, and then dispersed, and then the scene you saw happened."
"As for that guy, I didn't see any special out-of-control person just now."
"I don't know, it may have gone to other places, or it may be hidden in a corner."
As soon as he said this, everyone present immediately looked around, but still found nothing.
"It's up there." The girl's cold voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Everyone immediately looked to the top of their heads, the lights swept across, and an ugly blood-red figure clung to the rock at the top.
Continuous shooting sounds continued, and everyone focused their fire again, but this guy moved very quickly, and quickly ran into the darkness, leaving many bullets in the air.
Out-of-control human beings
Status: Slightly injured, mutated (lost mind, resembles an animal)
Job Description: Blade Sequence 4·Unknown (Comprehensive Evaluation: Excellent Dark Silver Level)
Abilities: Physical Strengthening, Beast Sense, Sharp Claws, Infection
Heshia watched the other party escape into the corner ahead and summarized some information in her mind.
Although this guy is crazy and even mutated, he is at least partially intelligent and knows how to dodge and escape, as well as simple attacks and ambushes.
"Don't worry about him, let's continue." Qiao Long frowned and looked at the direction in which the monster was escaping, and decided that it was more important to rush to save people.
"Yes." The others put away their guns, protected Hesia in the middle, and continued to move forward quickly.
The road behind was no longer accessible to traffic and had to be walked on foot. It was like walking in a complicated maze, but they were familiar with it and did not hesitate.
Finally, after traveling for more than ten minutes, the group arrived at another stronghold.
In the rugged cave, one corner was blocked by concrete and steel frames. The iron door in the center was closed tightly, and several guns protruded from the window on one side.
There were corpses and bloodstains on the ground outside, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
"It's Brother Long." After seeing Qiao Long and others appearing, the people inside shouted immediately, and then the iron door opened, revealing the long corridor.
While following the group of people through, Heshia could hear painful moans coming from the room in front of her as she walked into the corridor.
Looks like more than one person was hurt, she thought.
The guards along the way got out of the way, and then passed through two steel doors before arriving at a relatively clean room. There were eight beds in the room, which was as spacious as a classroom, seven of which had people lying on them. They were simply bandaged, some were unconscious, and two were sealed by square ice cubes, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
"Hey, Qiao Long, you're back."
A woman with strange purple-green hair was leaning against the wall. She had dark red eyes on her face. She was wearing a dark purple jacket and leather pants. She looked like a girl in a speakeasy, but her current job might be here. of medical staff.
Putting down the personal terminal she was playing with, she walked over slowly, and Heshia noticed that she still had her nails painted black.
What a disrespect for the profession, the girl thought to herself.
As a girl who was preparing to apply for Irene Medical Park in her second year of junior high school, she remembered what the teacher said in class that medical staff were not allowed to apply nail polish because it would interfere with treatment and leave a very bad impression on patients. .
When many girls in the class started various manicure trends, Heshia was one of the few girls who had not touched such things.
"This is the doctor you invited?" She looked at the masked and hooded Hesia with a look of disdain.
"I guess this is still an underage student. Even if you go to a black clinic and catch one, she is still stronger. Tsk."
Qiao Long frowned slightly, walked over, and grabbed her shoulders.
"Let's go out and let the doctors do their work." He didn't want to explain too much.
Feeling the iron-like fingers on her shoulders, the woman finally woke up and said, "Wait a moment, your little brother hasn't unblocked it yet."
After saying that, she freed Qiao Long's wrist with one hand, then came to two huge ice blocks and pressed her hands on them. Soon, bursts of white smoke floated up, and the room dropped several degrees. Then the smoke dispersed, revealing the inside. They were pale and bloodless.
"Look at you, little sister~" The woman glanced at Hesia with ill intentions, and then followed Qiao Long out.
After Heshia saw that everyone else had gone out, she stood in front of the two most serious patients and began to check. As a reserve medical staff, she has accumulated a lot of knowledge and skills in this area. Furthermore, these people are basically suffering from external injuries, but they do not have such complicated internal diseases.
Bang, the steel door closed, and Qiao Long and the woman with purple-green hair came to wait outside the corridor. At this time, other members of the gang were guarding outside, and no one came to disturb them.
"I didn't expect you to actually go to the trouble of finding someone to save me. It's incredible." She took out the cigarette from the box at her waist, bit it in her mouth, and lit it.
"Huh, you're suffocating me." She blew out the smoke ring to soothe her nerves, and then glanced at Qiao Long again. When she saw that Qiao Long was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and unwilling to speak, she sneered twice more.
"Why is it so quiet now? Can't you tell me?"
"Logically speaking, for people like you and me, if you don't kill or be killed, you would actually feel sorry for your subordinate. This is simply too weak."
"Can you calm down if I tell you?" Qiao Long opened his eyes.
"No, but I will help you keep the secret."
Qiao Long didn't believe this woman's promise at all, but he also knew that if he didn't say something, he would probably keep mumbling.
"I'm different from you." He talked about some past events.
"I was an official resident of the Federation when I was a child. Although I was at the bottom, I still experienced some warmth and humanity."
"Bru came to me when he was 15 years old. At that time, I used a T5 standard package to buy him from the mother who beat, scolded and abused him, and asked him to follow me..."
"I was new to the underground at that time, and things didn't go well for me many times. I fought with people to get money, and I was often injured and ran for my life. The people around me also changed one after another." He reached out and took the woman and threw her away. The cigarette comes, holds it between your fingers, and lights it.
Smoke curled up as he continued.
"Many of the people around me are gone. There is nothing else to do except fight and survive in the blood every day. People like me are very common underground. Maybe one day they will be dead bodies on the street."
"Originally, I was going to die. That time I provoked the gang members and was shot at with a gun. Then Blue blocked a shot for me, so I escaped alive."
"Afterwards, after hesitating and struggling for several days, I sneaked into the gang's compound to look for Blue and see if I could rescue him."
"Such childish and immature behavior must have failed. The gang members caught me immediately."
"But their boss didn't kill me. He thought I was quite loyal, so he asked me if I wanted to work with him."
"Oh, this is how you joined the 'Haun' gang? This is the first time I've heard of it." The woman was slightly surprised.
"No wonder you value this little brother so much. I'm afraid you don't have any relatives except him."
In the underground world, "brothers and sisters" are very important. In such a vicious environment, if there is no one around to rely on each other, even sleeping is dangerous. And the "brothers and sisters" mentioned here are not necessarily really related by blood. Many times they are just They came together by chance and built trust.
Although there are often betrayals between 'brothers and sisters', such things are rare after all. They are hated by people in the underground world. In addition, after betrayal, the reputation will be bad, and it will be almost impossible to find people who can trust each other in the future. It is a very dangerous state, because no matter how strong a person is, he still has to sleep, and there are times when he is vulnerable when going to the toilet.
After listening to Qiao Long speak slowly, he used his fingers to stub out the remaining sparks on the cigarette butt, then threw it on the ground and twisted it with his feet.
"After hearing so much, come and have sex with me from now on, Jennifer." He looked at the woman in front of him.
"Aha, are you planning to recruit me? I have always been a free and gang-free person." The woman opposite showed an exaggerated expression on her face.
That's what she said, but she didn't completely refuse.
"I'll think about it later. I have to say that the story you just told really moved me a bit."
"Unfortunately, my intuition tells me that women cannot agree to a man's invitation so easily. I also have to consider a lot of things. If I join your gang, I will not be so free in the future."
The conversation between the two people came to an end. The treatment in the room was not over yet, but there was a commotion outside.
"It's those guys!"
"They're coming again."
Continuous gunshots came from outside, mixed with panicked shouts and running sounds.
There was a loud bang, and the door made of steel was knocked open. Blood-red knife claws were swung amidst the sound of gunshots, tearing apart the bodies of the gang members.
