Zhao Xuchen asked back: "We only have eight people. The drones around here don't dare to come close to support us, and there are at least a hundred of them. If you were that fish, would you be afraid of just eight people?"
"Then what if he only sends out those brainless mutants but refuses to come out himself?"
"Isn't this what we want? The mutants under his command are terrifying. Without his command, with those headless flies and the weapons in our hands, no matter how many mutants there are, we will not be able to control them. Slaughter?"
"Team leader, you are so wise, but you are a bit inconsistent with the legend, hehe."
"Legendary? Haha, I'm a living person, and I turned into a legend so quickly?" Zhao Xuchen naturally knew how outsiders thought of him, so he wasn't angry, he just made a joke about it.
"Hehe." The six-group soldier didn't know how to answer the question, so he had to change the topic with a silly smile, "Team leader, do you think it's possible for us to be the first group to ascend the Shouhuang Palace this time?"
"The possibility is still very high. After all, we have a good location, but we can't be complacent in advance. The other groups are not weak."
"Okay, let's stop chatting and get to work quickly."
"Team leader, all the holes have been dug."
"Hurry up and set up the fans and prepare the poisonous smoke. You see, a group of people have already finished it."
"Okay, we're ready."
"Nice job." Zhao Xuchen immediately started the intercom, "Call 00, 06 is ready."
…
"00 received. Groups one to eight, countdown for 10 seconds, start action as planned."
"10, 9, 8...3, 2, 1, action!"
"Turn on the phone!" Zhao Xuchen shouted. At this time, there was no need to hide anymore.
A large amount of poisonous smoke was blown into the hole they had dug in advance, and soon smoke began to rise from the ground in other places.
"Have you smoked real rats in the wild? I have." A soldier chuckled, "Such a thick smoke, even if it is not poisonous, the people inside can't stand it. Get ready to catch rats."
A soldier said worriedly: "What if there is no one inside? Wouldn't our poisonous smoke be in vain?"
Another soldier retorted: "There is no need to worry. Since the satellite footage shows that there is no one on the ground, then they can only hide in caves, otherwise they can still be invisible?"
"Coming, coming, I heard some noise." A soldier with his ear pressed to the ground suddenly reminded, "Everyone, pay attention."
"Stop chatting and get ready!" Zhao Xuchen immediately ordered.
This so-called poisonous smoke is actually just a drug that can make people feel weak all over. Even if it is accidentally inhaled, it will be automatically excreted from the body after 12 hours. It cannot really kill people, but it can As one of the soldiers above said, even if it is not poisonous at all, you will not be able to bear it while hiding in a hole, and you will choke to death after a long time.
Soon, a large number of mutants sprang out from various places like ground rats. Although there are not as many hidden caves here as near Zhou Shang Pavilion, there are still quite a few.
Some soldiers went after them with knives. Zhao Xuchen shouted: "Just shoot, don't run away, don't worry about them if they are far away, as long as you don't run towards the Shouhuang Palace."
"Okay, it's up to me, team leader." A soldier laughed loudly, using the shotgun in his left hand and the air cannon in his right hand to activate the massacre mode.
The air cannon takes too long to compress the air. Sometimes when the compression is completed and there may not be enemies around him, he will press the barrel down and make a big hole in the ground. Soon, smoke fills around him, and there is a tunnel that he It collapsed.
He didn't care and continued to shoot in the distance. There were indeed a lot of mutants in the Yong'en Temple. Although their movements were a little slow due to the fog, it would take a lot of effort to kill them one by one. Kung Fu, for those moving targets, not every shot he can hit can hit.
Just when he was getting interested in killing, a branch as thick as an arm suddenly shot out from the tunnel he had just destroyed, hitting him in the chest.
The soldier stopped shooting, stared blankly at his chest, and cursed in disbelief: "Holy shit." Then his legs went weak and he was about to fall over. However, before he fell, the branch began to fall. Pull back.
Zhao Xuchen happened to see this scene and couldn't help shouting: "Lu Cheng!" However, before he arrived, the soldier's body had been pulled back into the tunnel and disappeared, and it was too late to rescue him.
Zhao Xuchen had a bad feeling in his heart. There might be mutants down there who were not afraid of poisonous smoke. He couldn't explain why, but he felt that if he didn't take action, the six groups would probably be wiped out.
Zhao Xuchen immediately took out his air cannon and shouted to his men: "Everyone, follow my order and collapse all the tunnels near here, hurry up!"
Suddenly, the sound of bang bang was endless, and all the land within a hundred meters around them was damaged. More tunnels were blasted out, and more thick smoke came out of the ground.
"Be careful of ambush underground!" Zhao Xuchen warned as he walked in circles, carefully observing the movement in every tunnel, for fear that another mutant would emerge.
"Team leader, come and see." A soldier called Zhao Xuchen not far away.
Zhao Xuchen quickly ran over and saw that the soldier was holding a smoke mask in his hand, but the style looked like a civilian disposable one, which was very different from the gas masks they wore.
"Where did this come from?" Zhao Xuchen asked.
"In this tunnel, there was a mutant hiding down there, and he was killed by one of my cannons." The soldier pointed at his feet.
Zhao Xuchen didn't mind being dirty, so he knelt down and started to dig up the blood mud on the ground. The soldier beside him didn't know why, but the team leader had done it, so it was inappropriate for him to watch from the sidelines, so he also dug together.
Soon, all the soil was dug up. Zhao Xuchen picked up a mine as big as a wine jar from the tunnel, which was polished from a single piece of stone, and placed it back on the ground.
"Holy shit." The soldier was startled. "Team leader, how do you know there is this thing down here?"
Zhao Xuchen shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know."
Immediately, the six groups of soldiers gathered around, but before they could get closer, Zhao Xuchen shouted: "Don't come over here, spread out a little, and pay attention to your steps, and then look carefully to see if there are any more." Landmines, kill mutants immediately when you see them.”
Zhao Xuchen's caution did save all the members of their team. As time went by, they gradually discovered more mutants wearing disposable smoke masks, and more simple landmines, and several landmines were hit by air cannons. It was broken. Fortunately, they used air cannons to bombard the ground. This thing could not ignite the mine's gunpowder twist. Otherwise, they would have suffered disaster if they were one step ahead, and they would all be killed by themselves.
No one here is a fool, and they quickly figured out the reason. This Yong'en Hall is an all-wood building, and fire prevention is its top priority. How could there be no fire emergency kit and smoke prevention kit inside? The mask was not surprising, but it was unlikely that the homemade mine was ready-made, so there was only one explanation: it was made by the fish-headed man Lao San.
Zhao Xuchen reminded seriously: "We are facing a very cunning mutant. Everyone must be careful and not fall into his trap."
"Awesome! I admire you!" A stranger's voice suddenly sounded from not far away, and he even clapped his hands, "I wanted you to die neatly, so I ordered them to lay the mines in advance and then light them together. Unexpectedly, you inadvertently exploited this loophole, resulting in me not being able to ignite any of them. There are indeed smart people in the human army."
Zhao Xuchen looked around and saw a monster with a strange fish head. It covered its mouth with a wet towel. Its tail was a fish tail, looming behind it. Beside it, there was a thick withered tail. The old roots of the tree seemed to have been cut off by someone using an electric button.
"Damn it, you die!" A soldier reacted first and fired immediately, but all his bullets hit the old root, and the fish-headed man hid in the ground unjustly.
At this time, more people shot at the same time, but at this time even the old roots hid underground, and all their bullets missed.
Zhao Xuchen shouted: "Stop shooting." He knew that since the other party dared to show up, they were not afraid of their guns.
"Oh, what a miserable life!" The fish-man appeared again, "You think I provoked someone, even if I am hiding in such a remote place, I will be hunted down."
"Hmph, if you go back to the human city, no one will hunt you down." Zhao Xuchen said coldly, "The only ones we want to kill are those beasts that have lost their humanity."
"These dehumanized beasts you call help me find food, clean my house, and give me massages every day. They just don't want to be your kind anymore, but that doesn't mean their lives are worthless."
"What a joke, does being your servant reflect their value?"
"That's right!" the fish-man said matter-of-factly, "There are also Jians in your human society. They are essentially the same. Moreover, Jians can't fight, but they can."
"Team leader, what are you talking about with him? I'll go and kill him." A soldier said impatiently, drawing out his long knife and rushing over.
Zhao Xuchen was startled and hurriedly stopped him: "Don't go there, be careful of traps!"
"Hey, there are no other traps. You saw through the good plan I finally came up with, otherwise I wouldn't have shown up." The fishman sighed, "I just wanted to see what happened. Who is so wise as to dig up all the mines that I have worked hard to make for so long?"
The soldier did not listen to Zhao Xuchen's dissuasion. Halfway through, he suddenly became half shorter and his legs sank into the ground. At this time, he heard a desperate cry: "Team leader, please save me."
He shouted while trying to get up from the ground, crawling, and suddenly blood spurted from his mouth. He finally crawled out, but there was nothing from the waist down, and the lower half was completely severed.
The other soldiers immediately wanted to go over to rescue him, but Zhao Xuchen shouted: "Stop! Don't go over, we can't save him."
One soldier couldn't help but shed tears and sobbed: "Che Xiaoxu, you can go in peace, we will avenge you."
"Oh, tsk, tsk, pitiful, there is no whole body left." The fish-man looked pitiful, but before others could react, he immediately said, "It's good to make food. My children love it. Eat and use your remaining heat."
