Chapter 76: The Assault on the Sea of Smoke

Views:

Wu Qi took advantage of the fourth floor of the abandoned building to take a look at the main city, and then he and Zhang Bai walked away from the abandoned building. Naturally, they didn't know that the evolved zombie they had just solved could still stand up. After they found a manhole cover, they opened the manhole cover and climbed down the stairs leading to the sewer.

In the narrow space, most of the light suddenly disappeared and became extremely dim. The air also changed from hot and dry to humid. Zhang Bai followed Wu Qi closely and soon reached the city's sewers. After his feet landed on the concrete floor, Zhang Bai calmed down slightly.

There is a small light every three meters in the sewer, which continuously emits a dim light in the dark and humid environment. Looking around the entire three-meter-wide sewer, there are concrete water pipes above and to the right. The curved walls on both sides and the floor underfoot all have signs of weathering. If you put your ear against the wall and listen, you can hear the sounds of mutant rats crawling, eating, and even mating in the sewers.

"Hey, why do we come in here?" Zhang Bai asked.

Wu Qi took out the map from his military backpack and pointed his gaze directly at a section of the main city.

Wu Qi did not answer Zhang Bai's question. He said: "I observed that the sniper was sitting very close to the base laboratory, and other enemies were also moving around regularly. They were guarding the surroundings with their guns, and they were never too far away. The ruins of the base laboratory are no more than 200 meters away. And apart from the neatly dressed mercenaries and the sniper, I didn’t see a strong man like Wantai.”

Zhang Bai wondered: "How is it possible? The Hell Lion Mercenary Group is a fifth-level mercenary group. It is impossible for Wantai and Gao Lan to have all the high-end combat power. There must be elites like them."

"Then where did they go?" Wu Qi asked.

The two looked at each other and unanimously focused their attention on the icon of the base laboratory on the map. Obviously, they already have half the answer in mind.

"The strangest thing is," Wu Qi turned over the map. The back of the map turned out to be a sewer map in the city. "There are sewers running under every building in the city, but only underground in the base laboratory, there is a sewer pipe. nor."

Zhang Bai has been a mercenary for so many years and has developed a keen sense of unusual things. Especially after they were fooled by the high-speed rail tunnel exploration mission last time, they have become more cautious.

"There is a problem here, Wu Qi, believe me, the mission taken by the Hell Lion Mercenary Group must be related to G032's base laboratory!"

Wu Qi looked at him and motioned to Zhang Bai to continue.

"Didn't you say that snipers and other mercenaries are walking around the base laboratory? I think they are simply patrolling. As for where the elite experts and leaders have gone, almost all the buildings in the base laboratory have been bulldozed. Where else can we go? Underground. The fact that there are no sewer pipes underground in the base laboratory is the best proof. There must be important facilities down there." Zhang Bai became more enthusiastic about his analysis. Regardless of trivial matters, he stated his guess in one go. come out.

Wu Qi fell into deep thought. Zhang Bai's analysis did make some sense, and since this was the enemy's mission, it had considerable corroborating value.

Seeing Wu Qi's silence, Zhang Bai thought it was because he felt something was wrong, so he quickly added: "Isn't there a famous saying in the civilized era? Make bold assumptions and verify carefully. If I am wrong, don't blame me."

"No, I think your hypothesis has enough verification value. If we detect the enemy's mission, we have one more option. If we can choke the enemy, we can give Wang Sheng and the others room for detours."

Wu Qi said loudly and authentically.

Zhang Bai couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that his analysis had been inspired and recognized by Wu Qi. His fear of the unknown about his future life and death had also weakened a lot. Even the dimly lit, dark and damp sewer seemed to be a little brighter.

"By the way, you still haven't answered why we went into the sewer." Zhang Bai remembered and said.

Wu Qi flicked to the only area without sewer pipes on the sewer map, and said calmly: "Go up from the manhole cover here and kill the patrolling enemies."

Zhang Bai's eyes were so wide open that he almost fell down. The moment he opened his mouth to shout, Wu Qi made another tactical silencing gesture.

Based on his trained instinct, Zhang Bai swallowed back the words he was about to shout.

"Sewers extend in all directions, and loud sounds can travel far. There is a high chance that there will be people with enhanced hearing among the enemies. We must move quietly," Wu Qi said.

Zhang Bai nodded, lowering his voice this time, with a hint of pleading in his vicious expression: "Hey, do you really want to kill those heavily armed enemies? There is an open space there, and there is a huge disparity in strength."

Wu Qi faced Zhang Bai's eyes calmly: "Believe me, just use the tactics of the post-break plan again."

Zhang Bai was choked alive by Wu Qi. He thought Wu Qi would say something, but in the end he didn't listen to his advice at all, and instead started discussing tactics on his own!

This cold and taciturn guy can be really tough at some point.

Zhang Bai thought like this, and he asked unwillingly: "You want me to be a bait again?"

"I will try my best to kill the enemy quickly." Wu Qi said without any hesitation.

... ...

Around the ruins of the base laboratory, the Hell Lion mercenaries were still patrolling nearby, just as they had done an hour ago.

After noon, the temperature reaches its hottest period. The thin sea of clouds was dispersed by the south wind, and the scorching sunshine shone unobstructed from the center of the blue sky. The tile floor was heated to the point where it burned your feet through military boots. At this time, if you put a piece of bloody corpse on the tiles, the sound of sizzling barbecue will come out soon.

Many mercenaries have begun to look for shady places to enjoy the cool air. Their alertness and reaction ability have dropped a lot compared to an hour ago. An hour ago, they had used their sabers to kill a few shady blue-skinned zombies that they had found by smell, and they were already well aware of the strength of the zombies.

The conclusion was that there was no need for them to be as alert as before and still be exposed to the sun. They are genetically enhanced warriors, but they have not paid a high price for the enhancement of "high and low temperature adaptation".

Norman Noyce moved to a more comfortable place, on the balcony of the third floor of the abandoned building. Norman found a well-preserved sofa in the abandoned building, wiped off a large area of dust, and lay down on it comfortably. The balcony is not big and can be filled up with a sofa, but this small space is just enough to provide shade from the sun and wind. If he turned his head slightly, he could overlook an area of more than 500 meters in radius.

"Charlotte, Gao Lan, you can be busy as long as you like."

The gun bag containing the AWM was placed by Norman on the side of the sofa. Norman used his hands as pillows and leaned comfortably on the sofa. The soft sofa perfectly fit the contours of his back. There was a warm breeze blowing outside, which made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he was not on a mission at all.

During such a pleasant waiting time, a sharp sound of gas spurting suddenly penetrated this quiet ruins! Then, two, three, four, five, six! Dense clouds of white smoke rose up from the ruins in the southeast, northwest, and began to spread rapidly, forming several smoke barriers with extremely low visibility within a radius of a hundred meters!

ps: I played Taiwu Picture Scroll for a full 10 hours yesterday. Ahem, cough, cough, now I have to write a book.

So please collect and comment on "Black Riding". The recent collection is so bleak, the rankings have also fallen, and the motivation is so weak o(╥﹏╥)o
