In this way, a certain miserable little head of state still led a group of people wearing CMC armored power suits to continue investigating and searching in the underground ancient ruins full of corpses and various traces of battles.
Of course, it was said to be an investigation, but because their head of state left so fast, everyone didn't have much time to carefully study and analyze the various anomalies discovered along the way.
And precisely because a certain bad little head of state seemed to have a clear purpose, they successfully arrived at a certain area at the bottom of the ruins not long after, and it was exactly as their head of state Anne said before,
I did not encounter any attacks or see any enemies along the way.
Yes, there was no enemy at all. They reached the lowest level smoothly. This seemed completely different from what they imagined?
However, although they failed to stop and conduct various data analysis and collection, everyone still discovered many anomalies during this period!
For example, although the bottom level has more traces of strange weapons attacks than the middle and upper levels, what is very strange is: whether it is the corpses of the fallen marines or demons, they are very
There are very few, especially the corpses of demons, which are even fewer than in the middle and upper areas?
After all, the original report said that there were more than 10,000 demons roaming here, and almost an entire combat regiment of marines died here. However, as they walked down, the number of corpses found was as high as estimated.
It seems inconsistent. Although there is a factor that they have not completely searched the entire huge underground ruins, various abnormal situations still indicate that there are many things that are wrong.
What's even more strange is that it seems that many of the fallen soldiers and demons' weapons are missing?
certainly!
If I want to be more specific and accurate, it is: on the lowest level, although there are the most traces of the battle, the battlefield seems to have been cleaned, and many weapons and equipment, that is, various metal creations, seem to have been deliberately deliberately used by someone.
Search and take away?
What's even more shocking is that after arriving on the third floor, Liu Li, Wang Qing and other attentive team members seemed to faintly hear some strange whispers, as if there was someone who couldn't speak clearly and was a little confused.
What does the guy want to say to them?
"oops!"
(ノ△.)
"Isn't it just a whisper?"
(ì_í)
However, Anne didn't mind that situation. After all, she had seen a lot of guys who liked to whisper, and they had burned a lot to death. There even seemed to be one or two bottles in the bag, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.
.
"Don't worry, it's muttering to itself, let's look for ours, and you'll know when the time comes. Anyway, it can't do anything to you."
(*╰╯`)
Obviously, Anne must have known what the other party was, so she continued to comfort the two people and told them not to pay attention to the whispers of the other party.
"Follow up quickly!"
()
After saying that, she still just led the investigation team carelessly and continued to move forward in the complex and dark passage of the ruins, not knowing what she wanted to find.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this, the investigative team members following behind naturally had nothing to say.
After all, Anne is their head of state and the person in charge of this mission, and they did not find any danger along the way, but at the same time they did not find any more situations, and since their head of state seems to know something and is still clearly
If they find their way, of course they have nothing to worry about.
but……
Although the situation is true, as they gradually penetrated into the lowest level of the underground ancient ruins, as the depressing and weird atmosphere filled the air became thicker, uneasiness and a certain shadow continued to linger.
In everyone's mind, coupled with the vague whisper that did exist, it still made everyone feel as if there was some invisible power and existence hiding in the dark, peeping at and locking their every move.
General.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
That situation, that weird and chilling feeling as if some invisible monster was approaching quietly, of course inevitably caused the psychological pressure of the team members to gradually increase, even with the comfort and comfort from their own head of state.
Despite everything, everyone was still unavoidably worried.
Especially when the team continues to go deeper, when the team members wearing CMC armored power suits move and step in this sealed underground ruins, and the sound of the armor's slight friction and collision echoes in the quiet and dark stone wall cave, that kind of atmosphere
It's definitely not good.
"here……"
"It seems like something is really wrong?"
Finally, after walking for a while, I saw that Anne, the head of state who was leading the way, still had no intention of stopping. After seeing that the map showed that everyone had reached the deepest point, even that character who was relatively calm and experienced was even more so during this period.
Wang Qing, who had seen all kinds of dangers, couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
"Lily!"
"You feel it too, right?"
"here……"
"There seems to be something invisible around us, and it's watching us?"
While whispering, Wang Qing couldn't help but subconsciously tighten the spiked rifle in his hand, as if he was always ready to attack the things around him that were clearly invisible, undetectable and completely 'non-existent', but they
It's like an 'invisible' enemy that will jump out at any time.
"Isn't it?"
"Sister Qing!"
"I've actually felt it for a long time..."
Liu Li who spoke quickly nodded.
Then Wang Qing saw her eyes widening in the transparent CMC helmet mask and looking around nervously.
"Although the head of state said it doesn't matter, but..."
"It seems like there really is some scary guy who has been following and staring at us. There can't be anything wrong, I just know it!"
"But the other party just doesn't come out. This feeling is really annoying!"
"My hair is standing on end!"
You know, fear usually comes from the unknown, whether it is a subspace demon or some other existence. Now she just wants the other party to jump out and fight with them. In that case, after knowing what it is,
After playing tricks, even if there were more opponents, she might not be as frightened as she is now?
"okay!"
"Don't think too much, just be vigilant and don't be suspicious."
At this time, Awen, the captain of their combat team, walked up to them from behind and comforted them with an indifferent expression:
"There is nothing here except corpses and some traces of battle."
"Believe in your eyes and radar."
"Since they won't come out, and since the head of state has said so, there is nothing to worry about. Don't scare yourself."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two of them to retort or say anything else, Awen raised his chin and signaled them with his eyes to move on quickly.
He and Yue Han behind him are mainly responsible for guarding the rear of the entire team. If the team behind is too far behind, there will be a big danger.
"team leader!"
"Aren't you kidding yourselves?"
Although her feet did not stop and she continued to walk forward as ordered, Liu Li still retorted in a low voice with some dissatisfaction:
"Didn't you see that all the weapons and equipment along the way were gone?"
"There must be a problem here, and it's a big problem!"
"besides!"
"Sister Qing also heard the whisper just now!"
"Don't tell me you didn't hear me!"
"With so many anomalies, why are they called suspicious? How can I not be worried?"
After saying that, Liu Li seemed a little uneasy and turned back to glare at their captain Awen bitterly.
"..."
Unfortunately, Awen, who was not responsible for the command and leadership of this mission, did not want to talk to her. He just followed the team at the end with Yue Han, the deputy captain next to him, and kept looking around.
Case.
"I……"
"Eh?"
Just when Liu Li was about to continue arguing, suddenly, a certain troubled little girl in front stopped in front of a huge and square black stone obelisk, and kept looking at that person who didn't seem to have any curiosity at all.
Scan is just a thing made of stone and looked at in front of it.
"!!"
"Are we here? Are there any enemies?!"
So, of course, Liu Li subconsciously raised the muzzle of her gun and used the searchlight on the chest of the CMC armor to shine towards the hall.
"!!"
"Everyone!"
"Be aware of your surroundings!"
Upon seeing this, seeing that his head of state was no longer moving forward, and knowing that his head of state was definitely not aiming for nothing, Colonel Dachi finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his fist and waved it behind him, ordering the team members to immediately enter the battle.
state.
"clear!"
"quick!"
"Everyone in place!"
"there!"
"And over there, surround this place!"
"Ready to fight!"
Hearing this, the rest of the team members, including Liu Li and others who were about to speak, clenched their weapons vigilantly and loaded their guns, then surrounded the square black stone obelisk in the huge cave and opened it.
The four searchlights on their chests and abdomen formed a defensive formation, allowing the beams of light to continuously shine towards the darkness in the distance, and they were immediately ready to fight at any time.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
However, as the searchlight swayed on the obelisk and the dark cave wall and even the top in the distance, after a while, everyone still found nothing.
In the spacious hall of this underground ruins, except for the traces of battles along the way and a small number of corpses scattered not far away, they found nothing, not even those that should have been like those in other ruins.
Not one of the mice that could be seen gnawing on corpses was seen everywhere.
"Stay alert!"
"Do not talk!"
After a while, the colonel, who still found nothing, could only look at their terrible little girl, the head of state.
At this time, she was still studying the obelisk that he had scanned several times just now, but found no abnormalities, and she didn't know what she wanted to mess with.
"The Führer?"
"Did you discover something?"
After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't help but ask.
"..."
(^)
Unfortunately, Anne ignored him and continued to study around the obelisk, even groping around in a circle, not knowing what she was looking for.
squeak!
Snap, snap!
Sudden!
There was a strange movement in a certain direction in the darkness.
"!!"
"??"
"..."
"..."
That situation was naturally so horrifying that everyone held their breath and became nervous instantly.
While the spike rifles and light beams in their hands were constantly searching into the darkness, they pricked up their ears and used the CMC armor's auditory compensation and tactical positioning systems to lock on and listen carefully in order to find the exact location of the enemy's sound.
soon!
Everyone heard a series of tiny rustling sounds that were still approaching them. Combined with the dark and weird atmosphere at this time, people couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
"!!"
"There's something nearby!"
"Liu Li!"
"On your side!"
Soon, team leader Awen locked the source of the sound, but he did not turn around. Instead, he continued to be on guard in his direction and reminded Liu Li in a low voice on the channel.
"..."
In fact, Liu Li heard it and locked her position without him reminding her. The sound came from the messy boulders in front of her.
But at this time, as the thing got closer and closer, she had subconsciously tightened her grip on the spike rifle in her hand and held her breath, leaving no time to answer.
"Notice!"
"Don't panic, everyone, no matter what it is, we must maintain formation!"
Seeing that Chief Anne was still tinkering, the colonel naturally gave orders in the battle channel in a deep voice and calmly, while not forgetting to observe the surrounding situation.
However, at this moment!
Unexpectedly, a sudden cold wind blew from the darkness, accompanied by a disgusting rotten smell, as if the air had been fermented in a closed environment for who knows how many thousands of years?
"What the hell is this place?"
"Nonsence!"
"Why does it smell like this?"
Naturally, a certain Marine with the mask on frowned and cursed, and immediately closed the mask.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
However, no one paid attention to the cursing guy. Everyone just continued to be vigilant.
"!!"
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the darkness and rushed directly in the direction of Liu Li.
"!!"
"ah!!"
Upon seeing this, Liu Li screamed in fright, then subconsciously raised the weapon in her hand and shot it.
Da da da!
soon!
In the flash of light and shadow, as Liu Li passed by, the black shadow stopped just a foot away from her.
"this……"
"Is this a mouse?"
But when she and the rest of the team members took a closer look in shock, they discovered that it was just a big rat with a ferocious face and a fat body?
At this moment, perhaps because it had eaten too much human flesh, its eyes were still flashing red, acid was flowing from the corners of its mouth, and its long and sharp claws were stretched out, as if it wanted to attack the person behind Liu Li.
Is it like struggling to pass through the passage leaving this ruins?
Da da!
Da da da!
Upon seeing this, Liu Li took another shot without thinking, smashing his head into pieces. She stopped when she saw that the big beaver-like rat that had startled her stopped moving.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion and cast strange glances at Liu Li.
"..."
Liu Li, who had just been frightened by a mouse and screamed, hurriedly pretended to be nonchalant and slowly turned her head away under the strange looks of everyone, pretending to continue to be vigilant and alert, not daring to
Go and meet the team members' eyes.
"come out!"
(ｏ‵-′)ノ”
"If you don't come out, they will blow up this thing in your house!"
╭()
At this time, a certain troubled little girl Head of State finally stopped her fiddling, and no longer tried to find anything, but took a step back and kicked the obelisk hard, making a milky sound.
The crunching sound threatened.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this, they thought that the real enemy was about to appear, and everyone couldn't help but feel relieved again.
Unfortunately……
After waiting for a while, the team members who were on guard and waiting with their guns still saw nothing.
"You're not coming out, are you?"
(^)
"Don't come out..."
()
"If you don't come out, I'll blow up this piece of crap in your house, and then you'll never come out again!"
()|
With that said, Anne did as she said, and actually took out an explosive device directly from her pocket and attached it to the outer wall of the obelisk.
"The Führer?"
"This is……"
"What's so special about that thing?"
"have no idea……"
Of course, everyone was a little confused about this, so they all whispered in the channel.
"Be on guard!"
"Don't let your guard down!"
But soon, those who spoke received a scolding from a certain colonel.
The next moment!
"!!"
"There's a situation!"
"careful!"
"?!"
"Ready to fight!!"
Before a certain troubled little girl leader could actually take action and ask everyone to move away before detonating the explosion, suddenly, everyone felt that their surroundings and minds were in an inexplicable trance.
Then, when the colonel shouted and asked the team members to be more vigilant again, finally...
"??"
When the searchlight on the chest of his CMC armor and the spike rifle illuminated the original open space in the distance, the strange situation that made him get chills and take a breath of cold air for the first time occurred: I don’t know when it was,
On the floor of the empty ruins cave, which was originally empty except for some random fallen rocks and corpses, there were actually rows of people standing with strange weapons, and at the same time, their whole bodies glowed with a cold metallic luster under the searchlights.
Skeleton monster?
And just now, he swore that he had checked and monitored that area at least dozens of times, and it was clear that there was nothing there just now, but now, those monsters appeared inexplicably?
And as everyone screamed in surprise, they also saw that in the cave hall where everyone's lights were shining, there was an obelisk that slowly lit up with faint green light and patterns at some unknown time.
All around, their metal skeleton monsters were standing everywhere. There were at least thousands of them in this hall?
What's even more terrifying is that as they appear and as the obelisk lights up little by little, the green eyes on their monster heads also light up at the same time?
"!!"
"Enemy, enemy attack!!"
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!
So, of course, as the colonel let out a shrill cry, and who knew who was the first to pull the trigger, the fierce gunshots resounded throughout the cave.
Da da da--!
Da——! Da——! Da——! Da——!
Da da--!
