The farther we went, the thicker the mist filled the mountains became, and by the time we reached halfway up the mountain, the visibility was already less than two meters.
Walking on the muddy road toward the mountain, Jiang Chen threw away his raincoat, revealing the jet-black mechanical exoskeleton underneath.
As the tactical helmet fell, a light blue light curtain spread on the screen, and everything in the field of vision gradually became clear. Although there is still a slight difference from daytime, it is no longer so annoying. Jiang Chen turned on the safety, loaded the rifle, and secretly increased his vigilance.
Everything here is full of weirdness.
Logically speaking, it is difficult for rain and fog to appear at the same time, especially heavy rain.
After passing through the fog, Jiang Chen reached the end of the road. It was a resort, but given its size, no one would think there was anything wrong with it being a small town. The sign beside the road drooped, and rust stains stained the emerald green surface.
However, Jiang Chen could still glimpse a few lines of words from the remaining white paint.
[Terminal: Datun Mountain Resort]
"Is this right here?"
Muttering, Jiang Chen opened the holographic map and confirmed the coordinates. The map that Mole gave him had been scanned into an electronic file, including the password to enter the underground nuclear power plant, which was also recorded in his watch.
Directly ahead, the foggy resort looked quite creepy, like one of those ghostly towns in horror movies.
A word suddenly popped out of Jiang Chen's mind.
silent Hill
If you take a closer look, there is indeed some resemblance, but it is just a resemblance.
As a staunch "materialist warrior", Jiang Chen has not believed in gods, demons, and the like since he was a child. Although this obviously abnormal town made his scalp feel numb, he still took a step forward and followed it. Walk forward on the dirt road.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.
He turned around suddenly and raised the muzzle of his gun, but there was nothing there except a thick gray fog.
"Illusion?"
Jiang Chen muttered something in a low voice and slowly lowered the muzzle of the rifle.
The resort's billboard had been installed crookedly on the roadside, and the windows on both sides of the street were dark. If it hadn't been confirmed by the radio life detection device that no one was there, he would not have dared to step into this street rashly.
Ignoring these suspicious houses, Jiang Chen followed the path on the map and went straight to an abandoned hospital.
When he walked through the courtyard gate, he noticed that there were many luxury cars parked in the garage.
It can be seen that this resort in a natural park was very popular with wealthy people before the war.
According to the information the mole gave him, the entrance to the nuclear power plant is here.
After hesitating for a moment at the door of the main building of the hospital, Jiang Chen took out the drone terminal from the storage space and deployed it at the door of the hospital. Although he had not seen even a shadow of danger since entering the resort, the strange atmosphere made him dare not take anything lightly.
A dozen Hummingbird drones flew out of the drone terminal and explored the corners of the hospital. The orange-yellow light showed a beige halo under the mist. Although it still didn't look that pleasing to the eye, it was much better than the darkness before.
Holding a rifle and stepping through the door of the hospital, accompanied by a drone, Jiang Chen carefully inspected every corner.
The hall was very messy, with chairs crooked on the floor and documents scattered everywhere. However, in this ordinary scene in this wasteland, Jiang Chen still discovered something unusual.
It's so clean here that you can't even see a single corpse!
This is not normal.
The war broke out very suddenly. Even if coastal areas like Xiangyizhou Island, which are on the verge of the front line, are not targeted by NATO missiles, there will certainly not be much time left for the locals to evacuate. And then he suddenly remembered that there were many cars parked in the hospital garage.
This also shows that when the war broke out, the people in the hospital did not leave at all.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
But where will they go
After passing through the dark corridor, there was a strong musty smell in the humid air. After opening the filter on the tactical helmet, Jiang Chen felt his nose felt a little better.
The entrance to the nuclear power plant is in the basement.
However, as Jiang Chen got closer to his goal, he became more nervous. So far, he has still not encountered the so-called danger. Of course he is not optimistic that today will be different five years from now. If this is the case, why don't the people of Vault 79 come again
There is nothing more unsettling than the unknown.
After pushing open the door to the basement, Jiang Chen threw a flare in with his backhand, raised his rifle and ducked into the door, swinging the muzzle of the gun around in a wary manner.
Old medical equipment was piled haphazardly in the corner of the basement, looking like no one had been here for a long time.
Lowering the muzzle slightly, Jiang Chen opened the holographic map, and after confirming the specific location of the entrance to the shelter, he carefully approached the left wall of the basement, stretched his hand along the tiles, and stopped at the seventh tile from the left. , reached out and pressed it.
As the mole hinted on the back of the map, there are mechanisms hidden behind the tiles.
A light orange holographic screen emerged from the wall and stopped in front of Jiang Chen. He reached out and entered the password, and the floor shook slightly. The pile of medical equipment made a clanking sound and opened up a path that was neither wide nor narrow.
Is it finally here
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and tapped his watch, preparing to call Lin Ling up the mountain. Moving nuclear power facilities requires expert guidance from Lin Ling. Randomly tampering with the equipment inside may cause special situations. This is why he brought her to Yizhou Island.
The holographic screen unfolded, but at this moment, his fingers were frozen in mid-air.
On the wall, he saw a shadow.
That's a raised axe...
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Chen suddenly jumped to the side, rolled on the spot, and at the same time took out the nitrogen shield and laser pistol from the storage space.
The arm-long hatchet smacked hard against the wall, splitting the tiles into pieces.
Jiang Chen's pupils tightened.
The figure was as ethereal as smoke, and the only thing that could be seen was the axe.
"Zizi—"
The sound of electric current passed by his ears, and without a hit, the figure moved quickly and swung the short ax in Jiang Chen's direction.
The high-pressure airflow expanded instantly and flicked the hatchet aside. At the same time, blue laser bullets suddenly sprayed out like raindrops, giving full play to the short-range firepower advantage of the laser gun! The rain of laser bullets instantly covered the black shadow and all the evading spaces near it.
This shuttle of laser bullets hit, at least ten of them hit the target.
The shadow howled miserably, but still did not lose the ability to move.
Taking advantage of the lull in the firepower, it jumped back, and its smoke-like figure immediately blended into the mist of the corridor.
Jiang Chen immediately chased after him, and at the same time, the Hummingbird drone also followed.
However, when he stood in the corridor and turned on the life signal detection device, he discovered unexpectedly.
Light blue ripples swept across, but the screen was blank, with no trace of alien species or human activity at all...
A faint chill rose in his heart, and Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
What on earth is that black shadow
