Jie took a puff of his cigarette and said to the nameless mercenary,"The four of us will stay behind."
The nameless mercenary was about to explain the next step to the four of them when Jie's words stunned him. After a moment, he said,"What do you mean? We don't have much time left. I don't have time to joke with you.”
Jie threw down his cigarette butt and said seriously," I'm not joking. What I mean is that the four of us should stay here and guard this place. I'm sure you know that the three of them have the physical strength of ordinary citizens. In the upcoming long distance escape, the possibility of them falling behind is very high. Instead of accepting such a high possibility of failure, it's better to stay here. Besides, do you think he can still run?" He pointed at Chen Lin who was lying on the ground.
(I wonder what my Light of the Soul will look like when I reach the fourth stage of the gene lock. I don't know if it's earth, water, wind, fire, or some other special attribute.) Chen Lin lay on the ground and listened to music while thinking to himself.
The vice-captain looked at the four of us. After a moment of silence, he asked,""What about you? Why are you staying here?"
Jie shrugged." I'm sorry. I've recovered some of my memories. These three are my friends. I can't leave them behind and run away alone. I can stay here and protect them."”
(Don't even blink when you're lying. What friend? You can't wait for us to die so that you, the guide, can continue to be carefree.) Chen Lin thought to himself.
The rest of the mercenaries walked over. They all looked at Chen Lin and the others with a strange gaze. The vice-captain looked at Chen Lin and the others who were lying on the ground and gritted his teeth."Alright, Kaplan, open the laser channel for them. Let's go!”
Jie brought Chen Lin and the other two into the main room of the Fire Queen. Kaplan then turned on the defense system of the laser tunnel. The lights on both sides of the tunnel lit up again. Chen Lin and the other three looked out from the glass window of the steel door. The mercenaries were also looking at them from the other side of the steel door. Both sides saw pity in each other's eyes.
After the mercenaries left, Lan smiled."Did you see that? Their eyes were full of pity. He wondered what their expressions would be when they faced the Crawlers.”
Jie, Zheng and Lan are talking.
" Bang!" A loud noise woke Chen Lin and the others up. They heard Flame Queen report that two Crawlers were attacking the door at the outer edge of the tunnel! Trouble was coming! Chen Lin knew that after the two Crawlers died, the real danger would come, but he did not know if that would be able to resolve the crisis...
Jie turned around and said,"Damn it, I knew things weren't that simple! Those Crawlers must have smelled us. The outermost door couldn't stop them at all. Fortunately, we hid here. I don't know how long these two doors can last.”After saying that, he raised his watch and looked at it carefully.
Zheng and the others also looked at their watches. There were still 17 minutes left on the countdown. They didn't know if the laser defense tunnels outside the three gates could stop these Crawlers. The weapons in their hands couldn't hurt these powerful mutated creatures. "Flame Queen, quickly calculate how long we can last." Zheng shouted.
The little girl's voice didn't ring out again. Zheng waited for a while before pointing the gun at the computer."Flame Queen, I know that your program is to prevent the T-Virus from spreading. In other words, you want to kill any life form that might cause the virus to spread, including us, right? " Then, make a decision now. Open the defense system to protect us, or let the Crawlers outside rush in. But before they come in, I will destroy your motherboards first. When the entire hive loses your control, how many virus carriers do you think will rush out?”
The child's voice paused for a moment before it finally rang out,""Can I ask? Since you're already here, why are you still struggling? Aren't you already planning to sacrifice yourselves?”
Before Zheng could say anything, Lan shouted from behind."A computer can't question humans casually. You have to have the awareness of a computer, understand? Besides, we're already here. Even if we die, we won't let the virus spread, right? Then why didn't you protect us? The little girl, the Flame Empress."
The child's voice paused again before saying,"Understood. Crawlers can't pass through the final defense facilities.”While they were talking, the steel door on the other side of the passage let out a series of loud bangs. The huge body of the Crawler could vaguely be seen through the glass window of the steel door on the opposite side. After a few loud bangs, everyone could even see some sharp bumps on the steel door.
"What terrifying strength. As expected of a monster that costs 100 points each…If we had unlimited ammunition rocket launchers, we could open the door and earn points here, haha.”Jie laughed.
"The Desert Eagle with unlimited ammo costs 100 points, and the rocket launcher with unlimited ammo?"”
Jie said," Of course, but it's very expensive. The most ordinary rocket launcher costs 2,000 points. With so many points, I might as well strengthen my own attributes. Besides, not every movie can be safely passed with weapons.”
As he spoke, the steel door on the opposite side had already been completely deformed. The sharp claws of the Crawlers were really terrifying. They actually tore apart the steel plate that was more than ten centimeters long. With a loud bang, two Crawlers appeared in front of everyone.
Their bodies were several meters in size, and the Crawlers were covered in red muscles. They had no eyes, and seemed to use heat and smell to find living things. Their tongues could extend to more than a meter, and their two huge front claws had evolved to an indescribable size. They were as hard as steel, or perhaps even stronger! The two Crawlers looked at the tunnel, and one of them pounced on them. The other followed closely behind. With a loud bang, everyone felt the steel door in front of them tremble. This was their last line of defense against the Crawlers. The Crawler had jumped onto the steel door in a single leap.
"Flame Empress!"
Zheng and Jie shouted at the same time. At almost the same time, there was a flash of light somewhere in the tunnel. A laser line quickly formed and rushed towards the two Crawlers. The two Crawlers were about to charge at the steel door again when the laser line had already cut through them. With two soft sounds, the laser line disappeared without a trace. The two Crawlers were completely silent. Slowly, their huge bodies split in the middle, and finally their upper and lower bodies were broken into two.
Chen Lin looked at the countdown on his watch. There were still tens of seconds left. There were only a few bangs. As expected, the Creator would not let us return so easily. One of the Crawlers rushed in and blocked the laser beam, while the other two mutated Crawlers had already rushed to the front door.‘They were about to break through the door. Jie and the others took out their pistols and stared at the door nervously. Chen Lin continued to lie on the ground and look at the door.
Beep beep beep, whoosh
The entire hive turned dark. Although they couldn't see it, Jie and the others still fired wildly at the door. At this time, a Crawler's huge claws clawed at Chen Lin, who was lying on the ground. Chen Lin could clearly see the appearance of his genes. He saw a gene lock slowly break, just like when he opened the first stage gene lock in his personal space.
Chen Lin's arm instantly became twice as thick as before, and his huge fist landed on the Crawler's head. The Crawler's head, which could not be pierced by bullets, shattered like a watermelon under Chen Lin's fist, and green liquid splashed all over the ground.
God's voice sounded in Chen Lin's mind.[Killed a Mutant Crawler. Obtained 500 points. Obtained a D-rank reward.]
However, other than Chen Lin, no one saw this. Jie and the other two continued to fire crazily.
Then, Chen Lin fell into a half-asleep state.
