Chapter 87: Darkness Comes
Inside the base, resistance has just begun. If you can't save yourself, then it will become a joke if you want to find someone else to help you.
All of this has not been given up yet.
The battle was going on at this time, and the base commander also put on his own power armor.
Participating in battle is the best way to protect yourself.
Everything is because the base is broken through the defense line from the inside.
The lower residential areas were broken through, followed by the power system and energy sources, and these deadly places were attacked by alien insects one after another.
The collapse of the energy system made the alarm no longer needed at this time. The dark lights after the power was cut off made everyone realize what was going on.
The other party made such judgments as if he had predicted it, and these bugs rely on their perception of energy.
The most correct tactical arrangement was made immediately.
The alien insects are occupying the territory inside the steel base step by step, and the mushroom stalls have begun to wrap around steel.
From deep underground, the terrible explosion of the base core furnace made everyone know that things are starting to become extremely bad and tricky.
The huge current shock wave directly restarts the semi-mechanical power armor.
But some automatic combat systems, patrol robots, and automatic fire equipment are not that lucky.
Their core programs are directly affected. In this case, in order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces, automatic protection measures are initiated.
The machine patrol combat unit actively falls into sleep mode. It can only be restarted after manual operation, correct commands are entered, and the system has no faults after the self-test is completed.
That would take too much time, and the base doesn't have that much time to be worthy of maintenance by these engineers.
I can only mobilize everything at this time to the greatest extent and the base has become unfamiliar at this time.
The darkness has enveloped everything!
...
The base activated the emergency lighting system at this time, but compared to the lighting system that can illuminate the lower passages and corridors in a daytime manner.
Emergency lighting is only set up to allow people to walk in the corridor and barely distinguish the direction.
Therefore, in most places, we just want to distinguish with the naked eye.
It had become very difficult, and the alien insects had already invaded the inside of the base at this time.
No one knows whether these insects that are moving quickly will have already hibernated into the darkness.
It was at this time that the world began to fall into darkness.
The fear hidden deep in people's hearts began to ferment slowly at this time.
Even if this is a corridor that the members of the base have walked countless times, it has become full of dangers at this time.
The commander who advanced to the base had charged the nail gun, removed the safety device, and began to walk deep into the ground.
Following him was an elite team.
The interior was damaged to varying degrees, and except for the energy system, he could no longer predict other bad things.
The core computer was directly offline at that moment.
Unless the energy supply is restored, or if you go deeper, you can start the reserve energy.
Otherwise he would not be able to start the central control system.
In this case, he chose such a risky move.
If you walk up at this time, lead the elite squad around you, along with the siege tanks.
Just like Carl, he chose to leave without looking back.
Then he might be able to gain temporary stability, but he knew that he could have stayed away from such dangers.
But he chose to lead the only team he could directly under and go deep into dangerous situations.
The messy and crisp sound of steel collisions made by their power armor stepping on the steel plate.
You can vaguely hear the gunshots and the screams of insects from deep underground.
He didn't want to give up his base easily like this.
"Which team is fighting against the bugs below?" he asked the adjutant who was following him.
"The base's mechanical defense system has all failed. After the damage occurred, three teams rushed over, but there was no news."
There is only one result of no news on the battlefield, that is death.
However, in order to cover up the unlucky way of death, disappearance is just the most intuitive view of the problem, so it is in this case.
It seems that all the combat troops rushing to the tunnel worm have been wiped out at this time.
Even at this time, you can still hear sporadic gunshots.
But that was just a member of the base, making his final resistance, and the organized defense had failed.
Everyone is fighting each other, and this is the worst situation.
"Have the elevator system been damaged? Can the accessories be started normally?"
At this time, in order to quickly rush to the depths of the ground, he had already made such preparations for the problem.
"After the central energy is cut off, the four elevator systems can still continue to operate."
"If those bugs have not yet invaded the deepest part of the ground, these devices are still available."
They communicated like this while walking downwards.
Having said this, after a pause, the captain suddenly explained to the commander.
"It's just that if you take the elevator, you may encounter great trouble. Those bugs have a keen hearing."
As he said this, he sent a structural diagram of the base to the commander.
That was the exit of the elevator shaft on the thirteenth floor. The moment I saw it, the commander frowned.
It was a very dangerous place, and bugs could rush out from all directions!
If discovered in advance, they may be at risk of being surrounded.
You can't block everyone here.
But we must also arrive as soon as possible to eliminate all the bugs. If we do not, wait for them to rush to the backup energy system underground.
Everything is over, and this base must be given up at that time.
"Let your men go down the stairs, and everyone else take the elevator with me."
"Prepare enough explosives and kill the tunnel worm first. We are responsible for cleaning it all the way and not letting the worms destroy backup energy."
"Command Commander."
After a little hesitation and silence, he suddenly said again.
"But if the backup energy is destroyed, then evacuate the base at the fastest speed. With the preservation of power, we can give up the base."
This is a preparation that must be made for sacrifice, but he must make it clear.
"I understand, commander."
