The rumbling of huge equipment in the factory disappeared above the head, but the dark drainage pipes were extremely quiet. Although the terrible smell from the sewer was enough to make ordinary people weak and they almost tie the knot until their stomachs were vomited. Even cocktails made with repellent, rot, sewage and the foul smell produced at the end of rot were nothing more than this, which was so rich and disgusting.
Hayes was almost the last to jump off, he almost fell into the sewage. Even if someone held him up, even with a gas mask, he almost vomited everything in his throat.
Everyone in the entire commando had slid into the lazy embrace of the sewage, and the leader was their company commander, oh, now it should be called Olanios, the battalion commander.
The man walked in front of them, walking carefully in the sewage deep inside the waist, making wet movements.
His plan was very successful. The entire regiment passed through the bombing area almost without any obstacles, and then rushed rapidly in the deserted wasteland. The Red Pirates' defenders did not expect that a "defensive" force would suddenly attack. At this time, they were still organizing attacks on the three highlands that had already been empty.
Unfortunately, in the last step, they encountered some trouble when they captured the ordnance factory.
Before, they estimated that the factory was just about the average size. After all, this world is not a famous industrial world. It is a bit of a "small workshop" (imperial standard), but when the reconnaissance troops sent the picture, they were all dumbfounded.
Although the ordnance factory is indeed not large in size, the Red Pirates had long since transformed the factory into a semi-fortress. Not only did they deploy void shields, but they also had thick walls and lined up turrets. The factory was also able to produce simple vehicles and light tanks without any souls. The defenders inside did not need many, so they could keep the 310th Infantry Regiment of Abu Bakari, which was mainly light infantry.
Arni quickly summoned the officers to discuss it. Everyone felt that it was impossible to take down this small fortress with their existing firepower and troops. Once they were blocked from the strong city, as long as the enemy sent a few troops back to the rescue, what awaited them would be annihilation.
But it is not so easy to retreat at this time. There is a high probability that the position they should have defended has been lost. At this time, they will hit the enemy head-on.
At the critical moment, Olanios, who proposed the plan, played a role.
Through quick field investigation, he discovered the weakness of the factory fortress, that is, the drainage system. Due to the initial design of the factory, the drainage pipes were relatively long and happened to pass through a mound, so they could not cover the protection and surveillance range of the guardrail and sentry.
Of course, the Red Pirates naturally knew this. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely choose to close the drainage main pipe.
But now they are still producing weapons and equipment that the heretic defenders urgently need. Turning off drainage means shutting down work, so they can only make this decision when the enemy appears, but fortunately, the 310th Infantry Regiment of Abu Bakari has not been discovered yet.
Olanios' plan was to lead a commando into the factory from the drainage pipe. Generally, the main drainage pipe must connect the production area and the energy area, because there is a large amount of wastewater there that needs to be discharged in time. They have to rush in with hot melt bombs, destroying and attracting the attention of the enemy. Then the main force outside launched a fierce attack at the same time, breaking through the enemy's defense in one fell swoop.
It was also a big bet, because they knew nothing about the situation in the factory, as did the structure and terrain, but Olanios was willing to lead the assault himself, and his only request was to bring someone he could trust—
His company.
Alni didn't even think about it. Anyway, he had gambled, so he agreed to the plan.
So Hayes and the others didn't even know what was going on, so they had to put on closed protective suits and gas masks to enter the drainage pipe filled with deadly toxins.
Not only are there industrial wastewater here, but it is also filled with a large amount of domestic wastewater. Logically, no organisms can survive, but when they walked by, some small shelled creatures were still crawling around.
A total of 62 people were vigilantly trekking through drains with a diameter of more than five meters.
Hayes walked to the right side of the team and followed Hashett, trying to get rid of the remaining sticky filth on his hands, but it didn't work.
“It’s really bad…”
Helpless Hayes spat, took a deep breath, and then focused for a moment before projecting his hearing ahead.
During his years in the bottom nest, he had heard many horror stories about huge drainage systems, from man-cannibals entrenched in pipes with four arms, to sewage worms that are like mud but have sharp teeth, to festering toads that can swallow people in one bite...
This made him have a natural fear of the huge dark passages and almost never approached them.
Now he has to take the initiative to get in.
As the rippling sewage slowly rippled, there was something else besides the sound of water droplets flying everywhere. Hayes seemed to hear the stinky air murmuring to him. They were blurred and fleeting, but with a terrifying atmosphere.
The boy subconsciously held the laser gun, and his knuckles turned white due to force. For him, the reliable appearance and weight of the gun were both familiar and comfortable.
He is not a violent person, but for some reason he seems to have become dependent on weapons, and it is difficult to sleep without a gun at hand.
The team encountered no unexpected situation. After walking hundreds of meters, the sewage rippled in front of it, and the organic organisms rooted on the top of the cave emitted a faint light, illuminating the water waves.
The front Olanios struggled to capture the movements of anything—some random noise that might be exposed, noticeable.
It seems that he knows what might be like in such a place.
After walking more than a hundred steps, the passage suddenly expanded into an annular flood discharge chamber, where more than a dozen tunnels gathered here, but most of them were blocked by thick iron fences.
In almost absolute darkness, even Superman vision is difficult to see anything, and the sense of smell will be confused by the breath of the sewer.
"Everyone be careful, pay attention to the fluorescent strips on your teammates, and don't shoot them easily."
After whispering his instructions, the man jumped down from the two-meter-high exit and fell to the ground.
The impact of the landing caused the accumulation of fluid to splash, and the moans in my ears rose octave, and then others did as well.
Olanios activated the night vision device, and he saw some rusty cages piled together randomly, lined up in the middle of the room, like some kind of weird exhibition, and scattered white bones.
Suddenly, a pale silhouette burst out from the knee-length pool, and the huge humanoid creature stirred up a stinking rain.
