Black Knight

Chapter 54: In the ruins of disaster

Views:

The armored fighting vehicle approached the ruins of the base and found a large hole more than 4 meters wide dug out between the ruins in the southwest corner. The broken bricks, earth and rocks in the land below the big hole were cleaned up and the soil was flattened. Numerous overlapping tire tracks can still be vaguely seen.

Such large holes for vehicles to pass through can be found on all sides of the collapsed city wall. They are leftover from more than 100 exploration activities carried out around the ruins of the G032 base in the past month. It happened to be convenient for the Black Gun Mercenary Group, allowing them to pass smoothly.

The inner side of the city wall is almost the same as the imagined scene of destruction. Almost all the houses have been bulldozed. At a glance, there are collapsed houses, masonry on the ground, broken steel bars and hills made of dust. Only half of the tallest central management building is left, with only 6 floors that can be climbed, and all the floors above have disappeared. In other words, they have become fragments and fallen near the management building, turning into part of the ruins of the base city.

The armored fighting vehicle drove along a two-meter-wide path that had been cleared of gravel and waste, and drove all the way into the center of the ruins of the base city. Among the ruins of countless houses, broken slates with peeling paint can be seen everywhere, clusters of steel bars protruding from the rubble, and the gray concrete floor is covered with large cracks, radiating in all directions like spider webs. Several heads of steel water pipes emerged from the cracks in the section. Their bodies hidden underground had already cracked under the huge pressure. The water flow in the pipes was lost, and they were so dry that they became nests of mutated insects.

Among the endless ruins of low-rise housing estates, only the load-bearing walls with scars and mottled marks stood. Occasionally, there was a little greenery, and the only sapling on the dying canopy of the street tree that was broken in the middle and fell among the rubble. Everyone drove in an armored vehicle on the rugged, semi-ruined asphalt road for about 15 minutes, but they didn't see a single living person or corpse.

Suffering an unimaginable impact, the Central Management Building with only 6 floors left slowly drew closer from a distance until it was right in front of us. If they had not suffered a disaster, they should have driven straight into the bustling urban area of the G032 base by now. But now there is no difference between this prosperous urban area and the low-rise housing areas on the edge. At best, there is just a lot more brightly colored plastic waste, and the piles of gravel waste are higher.

From the current point of view, the ruins of this base are lifeless.

Wu Qi, who was sitting in the chariot, did not miss any detail of the landscape that came through the window. His eyesight, which was comparable to the enhanced second-level vision, mechanically captured the details of the ruins wherever he went, and then used highly concentrated Remember the spirit. Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly and he patted the back of the driver's seat hard.

"Brother Wang Sheng, turn off the engine, there is movement!"

Wang Sheng quickly decelerated, stopped, and turned off the engine, a series of actions in one go. The heavy sound of the engine disappeared from the environment. Wu Qi opened the door on the left side of his body and leaned out.

The breeze blowing from the south carries a strong smell of dust, and the smell of soil and blood is very thin, accounting for only a little bit. The temperature is on the high side and the humidity is on the low side, a masterpiece of sunny weather. Wu Qi quickly glanced around the ruins outside the car, then squatted down and listened to the sounds coming from the ground.

"One, two, three. There are three unknown targets, 200 meters away in the northwest, weighing between 60 and 70 kilograms, walking on two feet." Wu Qi stated the information he heard concisely and forcefully. Wang Sheng and others who got out of the car after Wu Qi were a little surprised. Wu Qi's hearing can be said to be quite good for being able to hear sounds 200 meters away in such detail.

Maybe Wu Qi is an excellent scout himself. There are always people who think so, and Guo Baibo is no exception.

Guo Baibo also started to activate his powers. In her body, there are countless cells with different shapes and functions flowing through the blood, shuttling between different organs and bodies. The activity of these cells is on average 40-60% stronger than that of ordinary human cells. Only nanoscale microscopes can see the high-speed moving viruses in the cells. Some of these unusual viruses are diamond-shaped, some are needle-shaped, some are strip-shaped, and their colors vary. Through air, water, and food, they invade into ordinary cells of the human body, reside inside, destroy the genes in the cells, and promote ruptured genetic recombination and evolution. Cells that did not die and decompose under the "bite" of the super-powered virus, but evolved and reborn, will be more active, and their functions will become stronger or changed.

Such cells were no longer called human cells by the scientific community of the dawn of time, but "pioneer cells." A large number of pioneer cells will complete the leap from quantitative change to qualitative change, thereby strengthening and changing the functions of human tissues and organs. As for how to use these evolved organs, it is the user's instinct.

The ability of super perception was stimulated by Guo Baibo, and the sensitivity of the five senses was increased at the same time. The environmental data fed back to the brain increased rapidly, like a rapidly expanding circular light area in the dark. Vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, the scope of the world that Guo Baibo can perceive has been expanded by 1.5 times with the ability of super perception, and the combined total effect far exceeds this 1.5 times.

At the same time, Guo Baibo also sensed the movement 200 meters to the northwest that Wu Qi said, but she could only know it simply and had no standard to measure the data. How on earth can we achieve Wu Qi's accurate information analysis, she thought. The shadow of Wu Qi hidden in his heart has a powerful sense of mystery.

Wang Sheng and other mercenaries took off the assault rifles hanging on their chests and aimed them 200 meters northwest. 200 meters northwest is an abandoned gray high-rise building with a height of 6 floors and about 18 meters. Rows of glass windows on the exterior walls of the high-rise building were all shattered, and there were obvious signs of collapse and damage between the floors.

Gao Yuan did not take off the gun bag. The distance of 200 meters was too short for him. The center of his pupils was the cross star of the scope. Three seconds later, he clearly saw a grey-blue humanoid creature emerging from the broken window on the first floor. Its slender arms stretched out from the cracked window, awkwardly guiding its body through the gap and crawling through it. out. After climbing out of the window, the gray-blue humanoid creature fell to the dusty ground, then stood up, revealing its full form.

It is about 170 centimeters tall, with no clothing covering its whole body. Its limbs are long and slender. The rotten skin exposes the gray-blue muscle fibers under the skin. The face, eyes, nose, and mouth also have varying degrees of rot and exposure. The tissue fibers underneath were exposed and looked extremely disgusting.

This is one of the most common creatures in the wilderness, a living corpse. Although the thinking area of the brain was destroyed, the body could still move, and the heart was still beating against the chest with vitality. Underneath the rotting gray-blue body are countless raging supernatural viruses. The experienced mercenaries knew that the skinny body could explode with power disproportionate to its appearance at any time.

Living corpses are not mutant animals, but plague species.
