Volume 1 Endless Wilderness Section 142 Exploration
"Aaron, lead the expedition team to open the way." "Yes!" "Hook, lead the logistics team to move the bodies out." "Yes!"
Chen Xing issued two orders in succession, then followed the reconnaissance team and got into the tunnel. The smoke mixed with the rotten smell of corpses, and the soil on the ground rolled up. The top was bombed by artillery shells, and many places collapsed. It was necessary to dig while moving forward.
About forty minutes later, everyone arrived at the bottom of the tunnel. A large hole was opened in the reinforced concrete wall, and it was pitch black inside, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Searchlight!" Aaron yelled toward the rear, and two team members immediately ran over with batteries and lights, set them up at the gap, and shined inside.
The incandescent beam of light was like substance, shooting into the depths of darkness. Chen Xing walked to the front and observed for a while. The space inside was very large. There were iron frame beds everywhere, lying in various directions and stained with rust, like a steel jungle. There was accumulation on the ground.
Very thick gray, covered with messy footprints.
"Be careful of fish that slip through the net." Chen Xing said, then he took out an explosive grenade, opened the buckle, and threw it in.
The grenade flew into the hall in an arc, bounced a few times between the canopy beds, and exploded with a flash of fire. Two figures immediately rushed out of the corner, and more than a dozen assault rifles opened fire at the same time, driving them back.
.
Chen Xing picked up the assault rifle, concentrated on accumulating power, and shot two living corpses in the head.
After observing for more than ten minutes and confirming that there was no threat in sight, Chen Xing made a move and asked Aaron to lead the team into the hall.
Looking around, you can see that it is a very large living room, rectangular in shape, with an arched roof. There are hundreds of canopy beds on three floors, which can accommodate thousands of people.
The space in underground survival shelters is very precious. Residents on the ground floor do not have their own rooms. They only have a bed and a locker. According to some documents, intimacy between men and women on the ground floor can only be done after the lights are turned off, and there are no soundproofing facilities, so there is no privacy.
It is hidden. Only skilled workers have their own rooms, but they are only a few square meters, just enough for a bed and a table.
Of course, the situation in each survival shelter is different, and some are more humane, equipped with "tryst rooms" or "love rooms" for short-term use. But in general, due to the harsh living environment and lack of resources, the bottom
Personnel have few rights.
The social structure of most survival shelters is pyramid-shaped. From the time they are sensible, every [New Biquge www.biqule.info] child will study hard in order to become a technician and have his own room in the future.
Chen Xing scanned the area with a strong flashlight tied to the head of a gun. Most of the bedding on the bed was rotten and broken when touched. There were all kinds of debris piled under the bed, including workers' helmets, farm tools, wooden boxes, and broken shoes.
Chen Xing dragged the wooden box out and asked his team members to pry it open. It contained a lot of debris, most of which were rotten.
"Boss, I found a diary." Aaron pulled out a green leather notebook and handed it to Chen Xing.
When I shined the flashlight on it, I saw "Work Diary" written on the cover, and below it was a line of vague small words "Geothermal Power Plant Steam Boiler Cleaning Team, Zhu Weiqi".
Opening the book, the pages shattered when touched, scattering like snowflakes. The things here are at least four or five hundred years old, and the degree of decay is very high. Except for metal products, ceramic products, and solid wood products with good wood, most of them are
None can be saved.
"Continue to search, be careful of fish that slip through the net." Chen Xing threw down his notebook and walked forward with his waist bent.
The space here is very large, tens of thousands of square meters by visual inspection, but compared with the number of iron frame beds, it is difficult to imagine what it was like to live there back then - how crowded it was.
Just imagine, thousands of people live in a closed space, and just whispering can make people die, just like a concentration camp during the war.
"careful!"
While he was thinking, a shout suddenly came from behind. Chen Xing quickly turned around and took aim with his gun. In the residual light of the searchlight, a khaki living corpse pulled the canopy bed, jumped up and down, and rushed towards this side.
In an instant, several tongues of fire spurted out. The bullets hit the iron frame bed, causing sparks to fly and tinkling. The entire underground space flickered in and out of light, and the figures on the wall looked like ghosts.
In order to avoid casualties, Chen Xing immediately used charged shots to break the lower legs of the living corpse, greatly reducing its movement speed.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Aaron pulling out a machete, and quickly stopped him: "Don't get close, keep your distance!"
Aaron's combat position is that of a combat soldier, and his desire for close combat is very strong. However, the khaki living corpse is extremely powerful and can be disabled if you are not careful. It is safest to shoot with long-range weapons.
Upon hearing his order, Aaron had no choice but to put away his machete and shoot with his shotgun instead.
“Bang bang bang!”
The high-heat iron sand beat the living corpses backwards, knocking over several iron frame beds. The supports were severely deformed, and dark red rust fell. After a while, the living corpses were beaten into a hornet's nest and fell to the ground.
"Group of three, disperse." Chen Xing made a gesture, and the team quickly dispersed to both sides.
After walking forward for a while, they encountered two more living corpses, and everyone gathered fire to eliminate them. There was a semi-arc door at the end of the room, more than ten meters wide, with a huge number "4" inlaid on it, which should be "
"Residential Area No. 4" means.
There are also some small doors on both sides of the room. Through the observation slit, you can see the bathroom or shower room.
"Xiao Liu is missing!" "Fat Tou, Fat Tou, where are you!" Suddenly, someone in the team shouted.
"Gather, roll call!" Chen Xing quickly called everyone over. After some counting, he found that three teammates were missing.
"Look!" He crouched and searched behind him.
"That, over there!" Someone soon discovered that a missing team member was lying on the ground, motionless.
"Fat head, fat head!" The team member called a few words tentatively and stepped forward to flip it.
Several flashlights shone through, and the team members on the ground had their eyes wide open, and the expressions on their faces were very distorted. Their chests were heaving, as if something was crawling inside.
"Fat Tou, what's wrong with you?" The team member in charge of the investigation patted his teammate's face. At this moment, Fat Tou's mouth suddenly opened, and a black shadow shot out, rushing straight into the team member's face.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a worm, with a body like an earthworm, as thick as a child's arm, no eyes, and a mouth full of tiny fangs.
"Ahhh!"
The insect twisted its body and burrowed into the mouth of the team member. The team member grabbed it with both hands and pulled it out with all his strength. The others stayed on the spot, not daring to come forward to help or shoot.
Seeing that the insect was about to get into his stomach, Aaron strode forward, grabbed the insect's body, rolled it several times in his hand, and pulled hard!
"Chi!" the insect neighed loudly, turned around and bit Aaron's arm. Aaron threw it to the ground, stepped on it, and with a "pop" sound, he crushed the insect into pulp with his heel.
"Corpse worm, it's a corpse worm!" someone recognized it and shouted.
