The soldiers saw their scalps go numb, and they quickly picked up their guns, and at the same time issued an order to their Kraken, "Go!"
I saw Rose take the first step, her long burgundy curled hair was lifted up by some invisible force, flying in the wind. She opened her hand slightly, took a deep breath, and suddenly a shriek as sharp as a blade shot out from her throat carrying a violent wind, and all the pipes on the wall trembled and resonated in the sound. Moaning, the echoes continuously strengthen and amplify the sound waves, and the invisible and outrageous force hits the ocean composed of the mutant mice like a huge wave.
In the next moment, the mice that were first touched by the sound wave exploded like flesh bullets, their eyeballs popped out of their sockets first, and their flesh and internal organs flew like fireworks. One after another. Flesh and blood flew everywhere the sound wave passed, like a huge scarlet wave rolling over the black tide. Tang Yi was stunned by this magnificent scene of carnage. This was the first time he saw the power of the Kraken in actual combat. At this time, there was also the roar of countless small feet crossing the ground and the harsh hissing sound behind them, and the other three sea-monsters also released the huge biological energy carried by the sound waves. The black corpse and blood of the rat fell into the turbid black water, and the splashed water splashed everywhere like rain.
The team members didn't even need to shoot, and the mice were wiped out in a short time. Tang Yi thought to himself that the existence of a Kraken is just a display for these humans. The power of the latest microwave guns and laser guns in their hands is simply insignificant compared to the biological energy of a Kraken.
Their army often calls the Kraken team "Invincible Supermodel Legion". It turns out that the focus of this name is on "Invincible" rather than "Supermodel"...
"Everyone, be careful, don't let the skin get rat blood when you pass those corpses." Nolan picked up the gun and continued forward, his heavy military boots stepping on the blood and rotten flesh made a sticky sound. The other team members are also used to such sights. Tang Yi tried his best to restrain his urge to open his mouth into an O shape, and glanced at Mercury next to him. He remembered that he had read on the information of Mercury that this silver-haired Kraken with thin arms and thin legs once took two other Krakens to kill an ultrasonic nuclear submarine with bioenergy... He could not imagine that such bioenergy would What a terrifying power.
At this moment, a member of the fourteenth team suddenly cried out in pain. Tang Yi turned his head sharply, only to find that a rat whose body was only left in the front half of the sound wave was biting the team member's ankle, and the hard leather boots were bitten. The team's siren screeched and kicked the mouse away, and its brain exploded before it hit the ground. This sudden change made everyone stunned. The Kraken supported the pale-faced team member to sit up and down a thick pipe by the wall, and took off his military boots for him with trembling hands. There were two blushing bloodstains on the white socks, so small, but the other Kraken let out a low cry of despair.
"No no no..."
Everyone was silent, Tang Yi didn't even know the name of the team member, but he looked empty, as if he was completely stupid.
Before going to the battlefield, every soldier hopes that if he will die, at least he will die like a hero, die with the enemy or die for the base and for the sake of mankind. But the reality is often cruel, and you may also be infected with the Leviathan virus by an ugly sewer rat, and you have not even seen the shadow of the enemy.
The soldier's siren hugged him tightly, looked at the medical officer of the fourteenth team in a panic, and said in a murmur, "Please..."
But no medical officer stepped forward to help him heal, and everyone just looked at him with a strange expression of pity but helplessness.
In the dead silence, the soldier looked desperate, and slowly took out a laser pistol from his waist and aimed it at his temple, with tears in his eyes.
Tang Yi realized the other party's decision, but was surprised to find that no one stopped him. The team member was about to pull the trigger when a gust of wind hit his face, his wrist numb, and the gun flew out. He opened his eyes in panic and saw that Tang Yi slowly retracted the flying kick's leg.
"Why..." The soldier stared at him blankly, in addition to fear, there was a bit of relaxation in his eyes. He thanked in his heart that someone had stopped him. He didn't want to kill himself, but in this case... If he doesn't do it, others may do it too...
The other team members also looked at Tang Yi in surprise, as if they couldn't understand him. And Tang Yi couldn't understand why they all watched their comrades commit suicide so calmly. A nightmare that had haunted him for many years rushed into his mind. The blood-covered man was lying in his arms, desperately clutching at the front of his shirt, as if he was holding on to the last straw, panting in vain. That was his best friend since childhood. He told him over and over again, "You will be fine, don't be afraid, everything will be fine", but what he said was not the truth, he couldn't help him at all, he could only watch When I was a child, I put super glue on the dean's doorknob, were assigned to the military academy together, beat up the little bullies in the military academy to find their teeth, entered the army together, and carried all kinds of inhuman training together with a pair of friends. Eyes full of horror, he exhaled his last breath unwillingly.
He still remembers his friend crying over and over and saying, "I'm so scared, I don't want to die."
Tang Yi suppressed a certain kind of anger, turned his head and asked Tan Mingyuan, "Is there a 100% chance that the rat bites the Leviathan virus?"
Tan Mingyuan said, "No, but these mice have reached the terminal stage of the disease, when the virus is most contagious, and the probability of contracting the virus is as high as 80% or more."
"In other words, there is still a 20% chance of not being infected." Tang Yi turned his head and stared at the desperate team member, "If you belong to that 20%, don't you think you're dead in vain?"
"Tang Ya!" Nolan walked over quickly and pulled him to a farther place, because he was worried about mercury eavesdropping, he covered his mouth with protective earmuffs, and whispered, "You didn't know when you first came here, there is no one in the team. The written tradition is that once you are bitten or scratched by the enemy, you will immediately commit suicide. First, people do not want to develop to the end stage and die so disgusting, and second, blood is infectious from the early stage of infection, although it cannot be detected, this greatly increases It reduces the possibility of other team members being infected. You can leave this matter alone."
Tang Yi glared at him, "What if he is not infected?"
"With an 80% chance, why do you say that he is in the 20% of the minority?" Nolan was also a little impatient, "This is a well-recognized rule, even Tang Ya would have no objection. Otherwise, in case of The virus spreads and causes more casualties, can you afford this responsibility?"
Tang Yi clenched his hands into fists, "Where's his Kraken?"
Nolan was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what he meant. He complained in his heart how Tsuruta gave him the task of taking care of the newcomers, while trying to explain patiently, "The Kraken naturally has a team to take care of. You don't need to worry about this. The tasks performed by the Kraken team are the most dangerous, and we all With this kind of awareness, looking ahead like you will only drag everyone down, you have to get used to our traditions."
Tang Yi knew that his behavior had caused other people's unease, but it was difficult for him to get used to it. Death is obviously such a terrible and desperate thing, and there is only one life, why did they give up so easily? Perhaps for this virulent infectious disease, committing suicide immediately is the safest and easiest solution for preserving collective interests, whether or not he is actually infected, but he just can't get past the "what if he is the 20%. where?" This hurdle.
Tang Yi turned to look at the team member who was sitting uneasy on the ground. His Kraken was holding his head in his arms, comforting him gently. Although the siren's singing is not as beautiful as mercury, it is also soft and beautiful, and it is particularly pure and gentle in this dirty sewer. Tang Yi could see that the team member didn't want to die at all. His eyes were too similar to those of his friends before they died. Even if he could only live for another ten minutes, he didn't want to die.
After all, it is a human life... How can human life be sacrificed under the excuses of "saving trouble" and "uncertainty"? What kind of tradition would force a person to commit suicide before he was sentenced to death? What's more, this person is still a comrade-in-arms fighting side by side.
"I'll lead him to explore the road ahead, you follow behind, don't approach us. I promise that if he shows any symptoms of being infected, I will kill him immediately." Tang Yi raised his eyes and looked directly at Nolan. That calm, menacing look was filled with a certain dangerous pressure.
Nolan was a little surprised. Before the appearance of Mercury, Tang Yi always felt more casual and unscrupulous. Although he also pretended to be serious and cautious like Tang Ya, he only learned the shape but not the spirit. But now this look is full of danger that is completely different from Tang Ya - a bit like a wolf's gaze.
He suddenly did not dare to refuse the other party's proposal.
So he could only sigh irritably, "You will be recognized by Mercury sooner or later."
Tang Yi returned to the team, and Mercury's eyes fell on him through everyone, as if he was lightly piercing his skin. Tang Yi didn't dare to look at him. He walked straight to the team member and squatted down, "You and your Kraken will follow me in front of you. After the task is completed, a doctor will test it for you."
The Kraken looked at him gratefully, but the team member blinked uneasily, "Is this... okay?"
Tang Yi directly grabbed his collar and picked him up, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get ready."
So the situation became that Tang Yi and Mercury walked in the front, the infected soldier and his beige-haired Kraken followed, and the rest were led by Tsuruta 100 meters away. Tang Yi now knows that the soldier's name is Gao Yan, he has just turned nineteen this year, and it has only been less than a year since he became a regular team member. Tang Yi remembered that the recruits he brought in the army barracks were only of this age, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed.
In addition, he found that the mercury was becoming more and more silent.
For half an hour just now, he didn't even say a word to himself.
Tang Yi felt a little guilty and a little uneasy. He wondered if he had done too much just now, and Mercury had doubts about him. But if given another chance, he would still make the same choice. This decision may not be rational, but he always believes that a balance can be found between the interests of the collective and the interests of the individual. Perhaps this idea is a bit too naive for his age, but he feels that people To live in the world, one has to be naive to believe in something.
The underground waterway system existed before the old city was abandoned. After the completion of the 210 area, only some renovations were carried out on the original basis. Therefore, the waterway here is extraordinarily complicated, and it is easy to follow the detection map projected on the watch. go fork. Tang Yi suddenly felt that he was walking in the stomach of some disgusting creature. The dense pipes on the top of the head and the walls were blood vessels, and the black water channels in them were the flowing intestinal juice. As for the greasy unidentified garbage on the shore, it is probably digestive residues...
Along the way, I encountered some aggressive mice. Fortunately, the Leviathan virus only works on warm-blooded animals. Otherwise, the cockroaches crawling all over the ground and the toads crawling on the shore would not be able to kill them at all. There was a lack of air circulation in the sewers, and there was a sticky layer of sweat in the armor. Tang Yi stopped at a fork to distinguish the direction.
At this moment, Mercury suddenly grabbed his wrist and took him into his arms. Just when Tang Yi was in a state of rage, thinking about why this mercury was in heat regardless of time, place and place, and was about to break free, he felt something rush out from behind him.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a woman in a nurse's costume lying on the ground. The white nurse's dress and her body were covered with dirty mud, making her skin a blue color. On the bare arms and plump breasts, large pieces of rotten skin were peeling off, nails had been broken, most of them had fallen off, and black hair condensed into pieces was hanging down, making it impossible to see his face.
There was a low grunt from the woman, and with a slight movement she could hear that uncomfortable clack of dislocated bones and joints. Her movements were contorted and weird, as if all the joints were broken and then reassembled the wrong way. Her head was twisted at an incredible angle, revealing an unforgettable face. One eyeball fell out of the eye socket and was pulled by several elongated extraocular muscles and hung on the cheek, the other eye was covered with yellow and red bloodshot-like things, and the lips were rotten, revealing a Row of scattered teeth.
Tang Yi fired a microwave gun almost in a conditioned reflex, burning a blood hole in the woman's face in an instant. However, other vague human figures emerged from the passage on the left. They came running so fast, but their posture was extremely distorted. The most surprising thing is their number.
It was dark and crowded with countless people. Their beast-like gasps echoed through the otherwise silent sewers. Gao Yan, who was behind him, was also shocked by this scene, and said, "shit!!!"
Tang Yi's first reaction was to protect Mercury and back, while turning on the communicator and shouting, "Don't come here, there is a large group of zombies in front!!!"
