It was noon, but the blazing moon emitting bright sunlight could not be seen at the top of the sky. Thick dark clouds move with the wind, gradually accumulating in the sky where people in the mining area can see. Deep clouds and gray clouds have previously dominated the heads of the mining area. A slightly cold wind is blowing in the east, and The clear sky was far from clear, giving people a premonition that things were going to change.
"Please Dongyu, hurry up and get rid of the corpses of the plague species on the edge of the mining area!"
Molly pointed loudly at the nearby soldiers. The soldiers rushed to carry the corpses of the plague species, gathered all the corpses into a piece of land in the forest, and dug holes to bury them together. The sky changed very quickly, and when the wind and clouds were turbulent, a sudden raindrop fell from the sky and fell straight to the earth.
Plop, the sound of dense raindrops hitting the ground immediately resounded throughout the mining area. The dry and pale red surface was soon infected by gray wet marks. After the ground was completely covered with a thin layer of water, the needle-like raindrops Plunge into the stagnant water and a young water flower will bloom.
The ability to prevent flooding on the ground in the mining area is very average, and there are good measures to prevent flooding around large-scale mining equipment and underground passages. And the rain that had been foreshadowed for a long time was unexpectedly heavy, and there was no intention of letting up as soon as it started.
For ten minutes or twenty minutes, the guards and miners in the mining area watched helplessly as the water on the surface slowly rose to a height that could cover half of a combat boot. If you step lightly on it, there will be endless splashes. Small splash.
Gao Yuan stood outside the camp wearing a transparent raincoat. He raised his head slightly and stared at the not-so-distant mountains on the opposite side, letting the heavy rain patter on him without paying attention.
Their camp occupies a high point in the mining area, and the rainwater accumulated on the surface used to flow to the east along the height difference of the terrain, so they are not worried about the water spreading to the outside of the camp for the time being.
On the other hand, as long as it is cloudy and rainy, animals generally cannot predict the weather changes in advance and move to higher places or their own nests. Even if they mutate into plague species, that will not change.
When it rains heavily, there is a high probability that no plague species will attack the mining area.
Gao Yuan raised the palms of his legs, looked at the rain hitting the palms of his legs, and listened to the restless but uniquely peaceful sound of the rain.
From a high perspective, the sound of rain is not noise. As a sniper leg, he is good at lurking in a hidden spot. He can stay in the deep mountains and forests and let the rain soak his ghillie suit without moving.
The soles of his legs were now wrapped in transparent raincoats. Gao Yuan knew very well that there was a terrifying concentration of alien viruses contained in the rain. If a person who braved the rain had an exposed wound or unfortunately caught a cold, it would be much more deadly than a heavy rain in the wilderness.
Gao Yuan slowly turned around, opened the tent door and walked into the tent. Outside the camp, Wu Qi, Guo Baibo, Chris, and Qiyue gathered in a circle. It was rare for them to have time to rest and enjoy a day's lunch.
"How is the situation?" Wu Qi asked.
"It's a bit bad. The water level accumulated on the ground in Didong is very high. If the rain continues to rain like that, in about 30 minutes, the rain will seriously affect the use of the underground passage." Gao Yuanru said.
"Yeah." Wu Qi took a bite of bread and replied.
He wasn't worried about whether the machinery that mined the ore would be damaged, but he was worried about whether the underground tunnels could survive that bad heavy rain. If the underground passage collapsed due to excessive rainwater seepage, then he would have lost the opportunity to uncover the true identity of "that thing" before it was unearthed.
"Woo..."
The little red fox suddenly whimpered. It put its head on its two front legs that were crossed together, and its two hind legs were folded on one side, with its fiery red fur hanging on the ground.
Rainy days can affect people's mood, and the little red fox seemed to be affected by the rainy days and became in no mood.
The little red fox was the only creature that could arouse Wu Qichong's cruelty in July. He gently put his legs on the soft and fluffy back of the little red fox's neck and rubbed it a few times with a sincere smile on his lips.
Guo Baibai walked on the opposite side of Wu Qi, his eyes fell on Wu Qi's sideways smiling face, and he was in a daze for a moment, and his legs moved very slowly when he put the bread into his little mouth. Chris accidentally caught a glimpse of Guo Bobo's movements and naturally turned his head away.
The passage of time seemed to be affected by the noisy sound of heavy rain outside and became very slow. For the first time since Wu Qi and his team entered the mining area to participate in the mine protection mission, they could rest their bodies and minds so easily and naturally.
Wu Qi stroked the little red fox for a while and turned his eyes to the front again. He inadvertently saw the way Guo Bobai looked at him. Before his lips opened, Guo Bobo took the lead.
"Wu Qi." Guo Baibodong consciously covered up the fact that he had been staring at Wu Qi for a long time and called the wrong party's name.
"Um?"
"What you told me last night, do I have any new progress or ideas now?" "
Last night, Guo Baibo told Wu Qi that she could use "telepathy" to peer into the hearts of all members of the mining area guard team, and that was not what she was talking about.
Wu Qi shook his head. In fact, he prefers that there be no mastermind in the escort team, but the reasoning in that direction is a dead end. Unless, in addition to the mine guards, there are many others lurking outside the mine and possessing the extra electromagnetic rifle. Without more information, reasoning is like a skillful woman unable to make a meal without rice.
"I really want to tell you about the extra electromagnetic rifle. He killed Du En and buried his body and guns, but no one except him knows the details of that matter..."
Wu Qi seemed to be deep in thought, and Guo Baibo touched his cheek sheepishly. It was obviously a rare opportunity to rest now, because her "mistake" made Wu Qi start to think again.
Just as everyone was enjoying the rare moment of peace, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the camp.
The screams started and then stopped suddenly, which was extremely weird. Wu Qi stood up immediately, and Gao Yuan quickly raised his leg to signal Wu Qi not to go out yet, and let him, wearing a raincoat, go outside to see the situation. Wu Qi nodded, and Gao Yuan walked out of the tent.
Gao Yuan walked to the edge of the highland and looked at the scene of the eastern mining area from a high position. I saw a soldier wearing a raincoat standing in the open space. He looked frightened, clutching his chest tightly, and the movements of his body and limbs looked very stiff, like convulsions.
Gao Yuan's dark brown eyes made a fierce wave, and he quickly looked at the unusual-looking soldiers in the east, but he couldn't see anything else strange.
At that time, soldiers from other camps came out to investigate the situation. When the stiff soldier saw the others, it was as if he saw a life-saving straw. He frantically raised his legs to grab the people in front of him who could not reach him. He opened his mouth as if he had tried his best to utter a few scattered words.
Gaoyuan was more than two hundred meters away from the soldier, and with the sound of the heavy rain, it was difficult to hear what the soldier said when he asked for help. After saying a few words, the soldier's eyes suddenly turned red, and his legs, arms, and body fell to the ground. He fell into a puddle with water up to his calf, splashing a large circle of water, and lost consciousness.
