"Here. aneieilai"
Oscar pointed to a patch of weeds about half a person's height ten meters away and spoke softly.
Everyone looked and saw that the place was indeed very hidden. Not only was it covered with vegetation, but there was also a huge rock nearby that shielded part of it.
If you look at it from a distance, you won't see anything.
The narrow entrance to the cave is hidden among the rocks, allowing only two people to enter.
Bahram carefully walked forward and took a look, and found that there was a string tied at ankle height at the entrance of the hole. Two empty smoke bombs were hung on the string. A few stones were also stuffed into the smoke bombs. If you accidentally touch it, , there must be some movement.
He and Oscar carefully disposed of the trap with knives.
"Do not fire unless there is an urgent need to do so."
Oscar warned before entering, his hollow echo echoing through the roughly hewn stone space.
"Be careful of accidental injuries."
Bahram followed him, and the team followed them, Oscar leading the way into the rocks.
They maintained a high degree of vigilance and went deep along the narrow passage.
Although the space did not widen, the sliding surface of gravel beneath them began to slope after a moment, as if they had reached a peak and started moving downward.
Bahram drew a three-dimensional map in his mind, allowing his thoughts to prevent claustrophobia within the passage.
"We are very close to the core of the stronghold."
He whispered, only to find that his voice sounded tight and hoarse.
As he spoke, the passage became wider. After a final push, the team finally climbed out of the low and narrow opening and came into a complete tunnel, but the tunnel was still full of gravel and boulders.
They reached the open area after bending through a dark, toothy maw, where the putrid smell that had been present since they began crawling was particularly strong.
It was the smell of slaughter, the smell of a massacre, the stench of a pile of corpses waiting to be slaughtered.
After Bahram stood up, he stared ahead and paused for a long time.
This tunnel was a slaughterhouse, with walls and floors covered with the remaining parts of dozens upon dozens of dead bodies, bodies dismembered beyond recognition, with skulls and femurs, vertebrae and ribs scattered along the path.
Bahram's vision began to blur, his stomach began to twist, and others around him began to gasp and retching. Only Haomo seemed unmoved.
"The Emperor save us."
Oscar whispered, and Dade murmured to himself, which sounded like a prayer.
Bahram forced himself to swallow the smell of bile. He saw traces of violent explosions on the ground and rock mass. It was obvious that someone had used grenades here, so these corpses made sense.
"Someone used a grenade"
Oscar also saw the traces of those explosions.
"These guys are really good. In order to prevent traces from being leaked, they didn't even transport the body out. They stayed with the body like this for four days."
Bahram wanted to ask Oscar what to do next, but the sudden sound of gunfire interrupted him.
Then Oscar's hoarse voice sounded.
"Ceasefire!"
It was Haoma, holding his gun high.
"I saw it! There was something there."
Oscar pressed the opponent's weapon down hard.
"There's nothing there."
Everyone fell into silence and listened.
But it turned out that Hao Mo was right.
A harsh roar came from the cave, as well as the sound of boots slamming on the ground.
"They're coming!"
Hauma shouted, his voice sounding like a broken echo.
"Get cover quickly!"
Oscar quickly ordered, but no matter what he said next, his voice was drowned out by the gunfire.
When everyone opened fire into the darkness with guns, Bahram and Haumo, who were not equipped with night vision goggles, lowered themselves to seek cover.
Oscar shouted instructions, but Bahram heard only the rough, percussive roar of the rifle as it fired.
Soon, two figures first broke into everyone's sight.
Their outfits look similar to Bahram's, but they have some simple armor that seems to have been torn apart and re-sewn.
This armor plate Oscar looks very similar to the armor provided in the trial. This group of people probably obtained part of the armor through an ambush or other means, which seems a bit troublesome.
They rushed in, roaring and howling, turning the place into a world of noise and bullets.
The firelight illuminated the ferocious faces of the boys from time to time like lightning.
Oscar also saw the shield.
One player collapsed with a hole in his back and chest, and another fell with a wounded knee.
Bahram took cover behind a stone pillar and opened fire with his gun, firing quickly and hastily aiming.
In the fierce exchange of fire, two attackers fell, one shot in the head and the other in the stomach.
Oscar moved quickly and lowered his body to check the breath of the first fallen player.
But he was dead, and blood stained Oscar's boots and knees.
Dade provides shooting cover for Oscar, but his position is relatively poor and there are more than
A hail of bullets passed by him, so close that his cheeks felt burning.
At this time, Oscar heard a vague mumbling sound from behind.
When he turned around, he saw the previous player who had injured his knee. Blood was pouring out of his forehead and flowing through his eyes. Then he fell to his knees and fell to the ground.
The casualties on both sides began to increase, and a team member of the other side died behind the bunker.
The remaining people tried to withstand the onslaught of defenders, but those people held them in place with the superior firepower of their armor and shields.
"Um"
At this time, Bahram seemed to feel something. He looked behind him and saw something where they came from. He couldn't see clearly what it was, but there was no doubt that it had an outline, a human-shaped outline.
But the silhouette was very high, so high that the opponent had to bend down to pass through the passage.
"careful!"
Bahram's voice was warning, and then something rolled into their ranks.
Hao Mo fell heavily to the ground, cursing as he fell, and then he saw Bahram wrestling with a big guy.
"He brought grenades!"
Bahram screamed as he fought with the opponent, and then drew a dagger from his belt.
Among all the equipment he obtained, this dagger was actually his favorite.
This knife is the most exquisite and fine blade he has ever used. It is made of excellent alloy steel, has a moderate thickness, and has a sharp edge without losing its luster.
He didn't know when he suddenly started to like the feeling of the dagger in his hand and the warm touch of the black handle on it, but before that, he had never been a person who liked to wield daggers. x
The darkness around him seemed to be brought back to that dream.
The same darkness, the same cold, the same hardship.
The only thing that changed was that the enemies he faced were not twisted monsters, but humans.
However, there is not much difference between the two at this time. i
