Tang Yi picked up the microwave gun in his hand and fired at the rapidly approaching infected person. It has been a long time since he has seen so many infected people. It seems that they are all civilians living in Area 210 and infected by rebel invaders. There are also a few wearing equipment like body armor, but they are all already At the end of the infection, he lost consciousness and was dominated by madness. In this case, Tang Yi didn't care whether he was slaughtering civilians or not. Anyway, the chances of people at the end stage being cured were zero, which was a relief for them.

Tang Yi did not expect the rebels to be so mad that they would attack civilians. He gritted his teeth and picked the heads of those who were infected by the rebels. The beam of the microwave gun illuminated the sewers into daylight. The heads of the watermelons that were roasted by the super-intense microwave beam burst one after another, but the speed was far below the speed of their travel.

Suddenly, a burst of super-strong sound waves almost shattered Tang Yi's eardrums through the ear guards. When I looked up, I saw flesh and blood flying all over the sky, and the black and red school fell down like a torrential rain with broken organs, and I could hardly see the scene in front of me. In front of this terrifying hell, the silver-haired Kraken opened his hands slightly, and there was a layer of dazzling blue-green cold light floating around his body, as if a cyclone erupted from the inside of his body, and his long hair was fluttering in the gust of wind, and his ethereal eyes Beautiful and terrifying, rhythmic and outrageous sound waves broke out constantly in the open mouth, the muscles were torn where the ripples passed, and the brain was shot, leaving no armor. In a short while, the passage was empty, and only debris remained on the ground.

Tang Yi's whole person is not well. He knew that Mercury was strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong. A wave of zombies, he just shouted a few times and all of them blew up? !

He couldn't help but fight a cold war. If he shouted such a voice when he was making out on the bed, wouldn't he be turned into scum in seconds

[Huh... I'm thinking of something strange again...]

Gao Yan was also dumbfounded. It was not long before he became a full-time team member. He had never been on a mission with the 15th Division before, and naturally he had never seen Mercury's ability. He was half-leaning against the wall and looking at the silver-haired Kraken.

Mercury tidied up the slightly messy hair, and there was no blood on his body, and looked back at Tang Yi. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Tang Yi felt a little smug on Mercury's poker face for a moment

"Uh... well... well done."

At this time, Gao Yan's Kraken turned around and gave a unique shout to the other team members, and a response came from the dark depths of the corridor. This is telling them that the crisis is over and they can move on.

But at this moment, something blurry seemed to disappear from the corner of Tang Yi's eyes. He turned his head sharply, and the intersection of the sewers was littered with stumps, both on the shore and in the water, but otherwise nothing moved. The stench of wind blew from the four holes, swirling and swirling at the intersection, and he had a strange feeling of chills on his back.

What was that just now? Is it wrong? He wasn't sure how he felt, because even Mercury, who had a keen sense of hearing, didn't seem to notice the abnormality.

Maybe it's a vision caused by nervousness after seeing a bloody scene just now...

At this time, the others followed quickly, and they were a little stunned when they saw the black blood and corpses spreading all over the ground. With disbelief and anger on his face, Nolan said fiercely, "How can the rebels put viruses on civilians! Those friggin monsters!!!"

Tan Mingyuan asked, "Anyone injured?"

Tang Yi shook his head, turned to Nolan, and deliberately rubbed his chin with his hand and said, "It's a bit strange, didn't the data say that the rebels' attack just started the day before yesterday, why are there so many civilian patients with terminal infections?"

Nolan shook his head. At this time, Dr. Tan opened his medical bag, took out a needle-like test tube, and drew some blood from a mutilated corpse, and then a small device above the test tube had a thin hole, which projected an image, It turned out to be Nas.

Tang Yi is no longer surprised by the advanced level of technology of the Kraken team. It turns out that the artificial intelligence housekeeper can also fight with the army... It's really creative.

"Nas, analyze the blood sample and compare it with the blood sample information I collected in Southeast Asia a year ago."

Nas nodded respectfully, "Yes, I'll report back to you in about an hour." Then the image disappeared.

"The smell on these patients... is not quite right." Mercury suddenly said. Tang Yi asked, "What's wrong?"

The mercury-silver-blue eyes swept across the black corpse, and the nostrils moved slightly, "I can't tell, it feels very dirty."

Tang Yi thought it was impossible to be so dirty, who made his sound waves so lethal...

The rest of the team members and the Krakens cautiously walked between the stumps and the amputated arms with guns in their hands for fear of being bitten again by patients who were not yet completely dead. The light emanating from the armor shone into a filthy, sticky rotting landscape. According to the map, it takes about fifteen minutes to walk into the city of District 210.

The stench was getting stronger and stronger, and along the way, I encountered three or two patients, all of whom were instantly sonic headshots by the alert sirens. But after fifteen minutes of walking, everyone suddenly stopped.

Ahead, there is still the endlessly spreading sewer, the twisted earthworm-like pipe on the wall extends into the darkness in the distance, and the black water flows out from the unknown.

The map shows that there should be a wellhead leading to the ground, right? Rose opened the ultrasonic net to detect the terrain, and said after a while, "There is no exit here."

"Could it be the map system's positioning error?" Ash asked, "The signal reception here must not be as good as outside."

Tang Ya noticed that Gao Yan looked at a place across the waterway with a strange expression, and couldn't tell whether he was surprised or frightened. He leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Gao Yan abruptly retracted his gaze and shook his head a little embarrassedly, "No... nothing..."

Tang Yi felt that his mood was not right, so he lowered his voice and asked, you... Could it be that there are mutation symptoms... "

"No... not that... I'm not sure..." Gao Yan rubbed his eyes in confusion, "Maybe I saw it wrong..."

Seeing that he refused to speak, Tang Yi couldn't ask any more. The group moved on. Several sirens took turns to open the sound net to detect the exit, but after walking for more than ten minutes, they still did not see any wellhead. The waterway stretched straight, without even a single turn. Tang Yi had an illusion that the scenery around them didn't seem to have changed much.

At this moment, Gao Yan suddenly shouted and stepped back, his whole body stuck to the rusty pipe, as if he saw something terrifying. Tang Yi immediately rushed to his side, looking at him sweating profusely and gasping for breath, and following his line of sight to the opposite side of the waterway.

Still the same wall covered by countless pipes, can't see anything abnormal

Tang Yi grabbed Gao Yan's collar and asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on with you! Has the mutation started?"

"Let him go!" Gao Yan's Kraken slapped Tang Yi's hand away suddenly, and stood in front of his master with an expression of "I'll cut you if you dare to touch him again". Tang Yi was helpless, so he took a deep breath and said softly, "I didn't plan to do anything to him. I just wanted to ask. He wasn't quite right just now."

All the team members became nervous and looked at Gao Yan from a distance. Anxiety spreads quietly. And Tang Yi is probably the most nervous, because he also shoulders the mission of "supervisor".

Gao Yan finally calmed down a little at this time. He shook his head, "It's not a mutation... I just saw... I saw something strange..."

"weird stuff?"

Gao Yan nodded, stretched out his trembling fingers, and pointed at the pipes opposite, "I just... saw those pipes wriggling."

Tang Yi swallowed his saliva, and for some reason, a very clear picture formed in his mind: those closely arranged pipes of different thicknesses were like elongated intestines, or Some worms that have slept in the depths of the earth for thousands of years, rubbing against their sticky and soft bodies, opening their black bean-like eyes somewhere, peeping with long malice as they walk in the dark. them…

He shuddered.

Nolan said impatiently, "What a mess. Those are pipes, how can the pipes move!" As he spoke, he tapped the pipe on the wall with the gun in his hand, making a hollow echo, along the long The pipes spread into the depths of darkness.

Bob said, "Is it a hallucination caused by a virus..."

"However, don't you think it's strange?" Dr. Tan's eyes flashed with a strange light, looking into the depths of the unreachable passage, "Before entering this passage, the waterway system here is very complicated, everywhere They are all forks. But since entering this road, there have been no forks. And we have all walked for more than half an hour. Even if there is an error in the positioning system, it cannot be this big."

In fact, everyone vaguely felt that something was not right. And Dr. Tan's remarks lifted the veil that was unclear.

Another member of Team Fourteen said, "Also, I don't know when the mice and cockroaches disappeared."

It was only when he said this that Tang Ya realized that the past half hour seemed to be surprisingly quiet, only the empty echoes of their team's boots colliding with the wet ground. A sewer, how can there be no garbage, so clean, and so straight, it is indeed a bit strange...

Tang Yi turned around and looked around, but found that behind him was also a long black waterway, a long corridor formed by countless thick and thin pipes, extending into the unknown darkness.

Tang Yi's voice was a little dry, "We are trapped."

Only Nolan quarreled carelessly, "What kind of ghost stories are you two telling! This is just a sewer, no matter what age you still believe in those nonsense things." He picked up the gun and continued to walk forward, "come on Guys, it is estimated that there is some serious error in the map system, and staying here can't solve the problem, it is better to find the exit as soon as possible."

The shimmering light around Mercury in front of him was like a firefly in the darkness, and it seemed that it would be swallowed up by the darkness at any time. Tang Yi caught up with Mercury and asked in a low voice, "Have you noticed anything?"

"Yes." Mercury's brows were slightly wrinkled, "Similar to those infected just now... Very disgusting smell..."

"Here? But there are no infected people here."

"If not, where did the infected people I killed just now come from?"

That's right, those infected were clearly flushed out of this pipeline. But why can't I see any of them now

Mercury stretched out a slender finger, the webs between the fingers exuding a pearly luster. That finger lightly landed on a copper-brown pipe, and after a while, there was a slight force between the fingers.

Then Tang Yi saw a very discordant scene - the surface of the pipe, which was supposed to be made of hard metal, sank like a soft skin.
