I still remember when I was a kid, Tianyang accidentally dug up an ant nest. When the loose soil was pried open, dense ants poured out of the nest like a tide.
In the past, those few little creatures that were not scary at all, once they gather in the thousands, the scene is enough to make one's scalp tingle.
And now.
As the strange noises behind the curtain wall became more and more frequent and louder.
Suddenly.
A number of mummies wearing protective clothing crawled out from behind the broken glass curtain wall. Although their number was not as exaggerated as that of an ant colony, there were dozens or even hundreds of them, crawling into the hall in waves.
That scene seemed familiar to Tianyang.
One after another, the mummies in protective suits quickly eroded their bodies like dirty liquid. They crawled to the ground, climbed up to the dome, and crawled on pipes and machines, as if nothing could stop them.
They swarmed towards the living, and in those helmets, either intact or broken, these corpses that had already dried out of water exuded evil thoughts and resentment!
"Fire!"
Liang Sen's loud roar woke everyone up from their dream.
Operators such as Yanbing controlled the intelligent weapons, deployed weapon platforms, released defense units, and quickly built the first line of defense.
The defense units stood side by side in front of the team, and the cutting beams were set up to form a death zone for ground units. However, the Queens did not wait for the mummies to come to them. The various weapon platforms deployed on their bodies were already roaring.
In order to ensure that there is enough energy for action, Yanbing and his men give priority to consuming the Queen's physical ammunition.
Bullets, missiles, small cannons, etc., also formed a powerful firepower network, which blasted the mummies to pieces, sending them flying backwards with their "parts" scattered all over the ground.
The soldiers used their star rifles to aim at the zombies crawling from the dome and the walls on both sides of the hall. They threw high-energy grenades and even hellfire grenades from time to time, effectively preventing the zombies from approaching.
The elemental hearts of Rita and others released their fire abilities toward the front of the hall, while the bald lady drove strong winds to blow the flames, increasing the intensity of the fire, forming a burning wind that swept across half of the hall.
In the burning wind, the mummies caught fire very easily. They burned into fireballs and stopped moving.
To make matters worse, strange noises were heard in the passage that Tianyang and his team were exploring, followed by mummies in protective suits crawling or pouncing, attacking the people's rear.
These inhabitants of the Reverse World, who had once hid underground to avoid disasters on the surface, became active again in the form of corpses after an incalculable amount of time had passed.
"I'll lead the way, you guys follow me quickly!" Zhang Dongcheng took on the responsibility of breaking the formation without saying a word, and cleared a way out for everyone in the difficult situation.
He crashed into the passage, and the long sword released a strong wave of air, which blew the mummy into pieces and created a gap.
Liang Sen waved his arms: "Retreat, don't fight too long, take turns to cover!"
Under the captain's command, the intelligent weapons were responsible for covering the rear, while the Heart of Elements and the Hunter took turns attacking and covering their teammates. Melee-type Ascendants such as Tianyang were responsible for protecting their own ranged units to ensure that the firepower would continue and not be weakened.
When leaving the hall, Tianyang still saw mummies in protective suits crawling out from behind the glass curtain wall in the distance, just like the countless mummies hidden in the empty mountain outside.
No wonder we didn't find many bodies when we entered the underground base. It turned out that all the bodies were outside.
The team retreated in an orderly manner, passing through the passage and the room that Tianyang had just explored.
Behind them, the mummies in protective suits were still chasing them, and because the passage was getting narrower, those corpses couldn't rush up all at once.
But even so, the speed of the mummies' advancement is still not slow, and the form of their advancement is even more terrifying.
They crawled on the ground, on the ceiling of the passage, on the walls on both sides, and on the bodies of their own kind.
They are like a turbid current, wriggling, boiling, swallowing up every inch of space, constantly chasing the living people in front of them.
We passed through another fire door.
The space became open again, and as the light moved, Tianyang saw the wreckage of cars.
This should be a transfer platform, which means there is a passage nearby for vehicles to enter and exit!
"Concentrate your firepower and guard the gate!" Liang Sen shouted, and then looked at Tian Yang, "Quick, find the exit!"
Tianyang nodded, asked the team members to stay and temporarily hand over the command to Cangdu, while he rushed to the depths of the platform.
There was a slight sound of wind beside him, he looked back and saw Xiao Guang following him.
"I'll help you."
As a hunter, Xiao Guang's speed is not much slower than Tian Yang, and his strength at level 5 is enough to deal with most situations.
Tianyang naturally would not object. He nodded, made a gesture, and explored separately with Xiao Guang.
Soon, he found a passage that seemed to lead to the outside, but it was blocked by car wreckage on all sides and the door was closed.
Moonlight was unsheathed, releasing the 'crescent' sword energy. The gray-blue crescent opened the way, passed through the center of the car formation, and sank into the heavy alloy armored door.
Gray-blue began to spread across the vehicle body and the door. Under the attack of the moon's power, the metal frame and alloy armor faded, faded, and turned into nothingness.
However, this process was very slow, and the armored door only had a crack, which was far from what Tianyang had expected.
The young man kept moving, and with the gray-blue crescents flying around, he quickly cleared a passage in the convoy of vehicles, and the armored door had a gap large enough for a person to pass through sideways.
Just as he was about to continue widening the gap, suddenly, under the illumination of the light, something outside the armored door flashed through the gap.
Tianyang stopped, communicated with the black fog, and extended his thoughts.
The black fog quickly formed the scene outside the door.
As he expected, outside the door was a tunnel extending upwards, very wide, high, and long.
On the other side of the armored door, he saw a figure. The model constructed by the black fog had no other colors except black.
So, Tianyang didn’t know whether it was a human or not.
Even if the other person is wearing long clothes, has thick hair, wears glasses, and has strong facial lines.
Even so, Tianyang did not dare to rashly regard this thing as a human being.
At the same time, he saw the 'person' outside the door, who stuck his head out, moved to the gap in the armored door, and looked at Tianyang.
Under the light, Tianyang finally saw that it was a face without a trace of blood.
There seemed to be very little muscle under the skin, and in the eye sockets, there were only a pair of gray eyeballs.
The man opened his mouth, his bloodless lips parted, revealing a row of black teeth. In his mouth, a few strands of black grass actually emerged.
Behind the gap in the armored door, the 'man' inhaled and suddenly ejected a stream of
Black grass.
Under the influence of some force, the black grass was pulled straight and shot towards the sun like an arrow.
Tianyang raised his hand, the moonlight lifted up, and with a ding, the black grass was picked apart. To his surprise, the force transmitted from the sword tip showed the strength of the black grass.
If it were an ordinary person, this black grass would be enough to pierce through their body!
Boom boom boom!
The 'person' outside the door kept spraying black grass from his mouth, like machine gun bullets, shooting towards Tianyang one by one.
Tianyang frowned, and after picking up a few of them, his figure became erratic and elusive.
He has already used the 'hidden' technique.
This time, Black Grass could no longer hit him, as he was always a beat late.
As it approached the gate, the moonlight swept across, and the gray-blue crescent moon seemed to slowly but quickly sink into the gate, penetrate the gate, and cross the neck of that "person".
A gray-blue line appeared on the opponent's neck, and then a black grass sprayed out, and the skinny head fell off.
Not a drop of blood spurted out of the headless corpse, only long black grass was seen growing out of the neck.
It was almost as if its body was filled with black grass!
Even though Tianyang was experienced, he still felt a chill down his spine when he saw this scene.
He couldn't help but wonder, are the other mummies also filled with this kind of black grass in their bodies
"Captain Tianyang."
Xiao Guang ran over: "I found a freight elevator, but it's out of service. I heard some noise coming from you, what happened?"
Tianyang looked towards the gap in the armored door: "I just dealt with a mummy, eh..."
He suddenly realized that in the short few seconds when he was talking to Xiao Guang, the mummy outside the door disappeared.
Tianyang immediately used the black fog to sense his surroundings, and used 'Full' and 'Hide' to increase his vigilance.
At this moment, he felt something in his heart, something entered the range of "Man". Tianyang sensed the existence of "Trace" and his body subconsciously made targeted evasive actions.
Xiao Guang, who was standing next to him, saw Tianyang dodging to the side and retreating a few steps. The next second, a black grass shot down from above and hit the place where Tianyang had just stood. After penetrating into the ground, the grass leaf softened and fell down.
Tianyang and Xiao Guang looked up at the same time. Just above the armored door, in the shadow where the lighting equipment could not reach, there was a shadow attached to the door like a gecko.
Then jumped down.
It was the man in the long windbreaker. He had his head reattached at some point. If it weren't for the light blue streak still on the neck, Tian Yang would have suspected that this was another mummy.
“It’s a bit strange.”
Tian Yang said in a deep voice: "This thing is different from other mummies. Also, be careful, it seems to be full of black grass growing inside its body, and it can use the long grass as bullets and spray it out of its mouth."
Xiao Guang nodded slightly without saying anything. He raised the gorgeous revolver, aimed at the mummy and fired a shot.
boom!
A red light bloomed, and a ball of fire exploded on the mummy, blowing the strange mummy in long clothes away and quickly burning it into a fireball.
It lay on the ground, seemingly dead and motionless.
But after a few seconds, it climbed up again, even though the flames on its body were still burning.
"I've never seen anything like this!" Xiao Guang's stern face showed a solemn look.
