The blasting team set the blasting points along the deformed position of the door, striving for accuracy and efficiency.
"Can it be faster?" Lin Sheng asked.
"That's already the fastest, Captain Lin," said the blasting team leader, "If we don't control it well, the tunnel will collapse..."
"Then blow it up," Lin Sheng turned and walked out, "All irrelevant personnel evacuate immediately."
"Then it is possible that subsequent rescue teams will not be able to get in." The team leader reminded him.
"There are only three of us in the rescue team," Lin Sheng said, "There is no other rescue. If we can't save them..."
Then no one can save him.
Everyone except the demolition team evacuated the tunnel, including the underwater exploration personnel.
"I'll go in later too." Sang Fan walked over.
"You stay here." Lin Sheng said.
"Are only people in your group allowed to go in and rescue people?" Sang Fan asked.
Lin Sheng turned and looked at her without saying anything.
"Or is it because I'm not strong enough?" Sang Fan asked again.
"You are strong, and you will be even stronger in the future," Lin Sheng said, "I keep you outside because you are as fresh and clean as this new world."
Sang Fan looked at him and was silent for a long time: "Is it a last word? It sounds like it."
“… You should learn the art of speaking from others,” Lin Sheng said, “and refer to human samples other than Qiu Shi.”
Sang Fan sighed and said nothing more.
"Ready, all personnel evacuate," the voice of the blasting team came from the headset, "Ten-second countdown begins, ten, nine, eight..."
Everyone has evacuated to a safe area. Lin Sheng and Xu Jieji are standing in front of the tunnel entrance, waiting quietly.
Ten seconds later, a dull explosion sounded, and the reef underfoot began to tremble, followed by a series of explosions.
The tunnel began to collapse as the team leader had predicted. Huge waves rose on the sea surface and then began to flow back into the tunnel.
"Right now." Lin Sheng picked up his equipment bag and jumped off the reef.
Xu Jie and Ji Sui followed him and ran towards the sea where the tunnel entrance could no longer be seen.
"Did you hear that?" Bai Zhan asked.
Xing Bi didn't say anything, he squatted down and put his hand on the ground.
Qiu Shi didn't press the ground with his hands, but he could feel the slight vibration just by stepping on the ground, and he also heard the explosion.
A series of explosions.
"Did we cause this?" Qiu Shi asked.
"No, in the direction of the tunnel." Xing Bi said.
Only then did Qiu Shi realize that this biochemical being was actually using his hands to feel the direction of the explosion.
"The tunnel was blown up? Who blew it up?" Bai Zhan jumped up and ran to the surveillance screen, quickly switching the surveillance images.
"Lin Sheng is here." Xing Bi said.
Zheng Ting, who had been silent all this time, tilted his head slightly when he heard the name.
"Our Lin Sheng," Bai Zhan looked at him, "the real Lin Sheng, the Lin Sheng who has experienced joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness in the outside world."
Qiu Shi thought about it and felt that it wasn’t really the case. Lin Sheng’s emotions were never very obvious.
I feel that Bai Zhan was talking about himself. Being with the homeless, he can really experience all kinds of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Most of the storage devices in the equipment room had been destroyed by them, and the lights began to dim.
Xing Bi walked into the room where the hibernation capsules were previously placed. The innermost row of brains were quietly soaking in a transparent round tank.
Qiu Shi followed him in, but didn't get too close. He just stood in the box outside and looked at him.
Next to each brain is a small label with a name and a number.
Xing Bi had come in once before, and left in a few seconds without saying anything.
Qiu Shi could already guess what he saw in it.
Nothing can be forgotten. The good cannot be forgotten, but the pain cannot be forgotten, the despair cannot be forgotten, and the sadness cannot be forgotten.
Can't forget the longing.
The ability that humans give to biochemical organisms is truly cruel.
Xing Bi walked to a power control console by the wall. There was no other control method here. 249 was not lying. He was the control console of these devices. All operations and interactions were completed by his pile of data.
At the moment, Xing Bi had only the most brutal solution, he punched the power controller.
The crying 249 on the radio let out a shrill scream.
Sparks flashed from the controller, and the liquid in the cylinder containing the brain began to become turbid. As Xing Bi smashed the power supply with his punches, the liquid gradually became more and more opaque.
The brain began to decompose, tissue falling away bit by bit and disappearing into the murky fluid.
Finally, all the tanks were empty, leaving only one tank of gray-brown liquid with suspended matter.
Xing Bi turned and walked out of the room.
"Lin Sheng is coming this way, with someone." Bai Zhan was standing in front of the surveillance screen. When he saw Xing Bi coming out, he turned around and said, "It's Lin Sheng No. 2."
Xing Bi looked at the screen. Behind Lin Sheng, there were more than a dozen second-level submersible guards, walking quickly towards the equipment room.
"Except for surveillance, cut off all power supplies." Xing Bi said.
Deng Yeye on the other side seemed to have been waiting for these words, and she simply chopped the power connector of a nearby device with a knife.
As the equipment that provided the institute with daily necessities stopped working one by one, 249's crying and screaming also stopped, the floor beneath his feet began to vibrate faintly, and the lights in the room began to flicker.
“warning warning warning…”
A female voice sounded.
"What the hell?" Qiu Shi was stunned.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
The radio broadcast the birthday song sung by Qiu Shi, but it was out of tune.
"Fuck..." Qiu Shi walked up to 249 and asked, "Are you sick?"
"All personnel evacuate immediately, all personnel evacuate immediately..." The female voice sounded again, but the next sentence became Qiu Shi's birthday song, "Happy birthday to you..."
Xing Bi walked over and raised his gun.
"Xing Bi." Zheng Ting said.
Xing Bi pulled the trigger, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet went through 249's neck.
249 leaned back suddenly, and blood spurted out and spread all over the ground.
But the voice on the radio did not stop.
This time it was Xing Bi's voice.
"We are born for mankind, friends who never betray..."
It's not like 249 is imitating with their voice, but more like repetition.
"Fuck you," Bai Zhan snatched the long knife from Deng Yeye's hand, rushed over and chopped off 249's head with the knife, "Shut up!"
"Implement the latest order. All biochemical bodies in the assembly area must be cleared on the spot."
Xing Bi's voice was calm and without a trace of emotion.
"Who are you trying to alienate?" Bai Zhan cut the wire connecting 249 and the box with his knife again, "I fucking know it."
"Warning warning... The decomposition program has been activated, and the twenty-minute countdown has begun... Human, if you treat me like this... you are not a friend... Will your choice be right..."
Xing Bi went over and unplugged the wires that connected the box to somewhere else in the room. Zheng Ting's voice, which had appeared last, disappeared, and only the monotonous and repetitive warning tone remained on the radio.
"Nineteen minutes left, warning warning... all personnel evacuate immediately..."
Zheng Ting moved, and Xing Bi and Bai Zhan pointed their guns at him at the same time.
Zheng Ting reached for his waist and slowly lowered his hand: "What happened to my clone? What did you do to him?"
"Save him. He has become a super symbiote under 249's control." Xing Bi said.
An explosion sounded from deep under the sea, and the ground beneath his feet shook violently, and Qiu Shi could hardly stand.
"He lost his own thoughts, locked in hatred by 249. He became 249's thought jar," Xing Bi said. "He no longer exists."
"Number two has arrived at the door." Deng Yeye looked at the surveillance screen.
Just as he finished speaking, there was an explosion outside.
"What is he doing?" Qiu Shi glanced at the door. The door could not be opened from inside or outside after being locked by 249, but it seemed that Lin Sheng No. 2 did not blow up the door, so the door was still intact.
"There are bombs in the wall," Zheng Ting said, "If we detonate all of them, we can separate this room from the main body and prevent it from disintegrating and sinking to the bottom of the sea."
"Warning warning... Countdown 17 minutes... All personnel evacuate immediately..."
"How long will it take to detonate all of them?" Xing Bi asked.
"Ten minutes." Zheng Ting said.
"Can this door be opened?" Xing Bi asked again.
Zheng Ting looked at him, and after a few seconds he said, "I want to leave here."
"Take you away." Xing Bi said.
Zheng Ting walked towards the monitoring screen and pressed his hand on the wall below the screen. A small control console extended from the wall.
"Fuck, that bastard didn't tell the truth until the end, and he was the fucking control console." Bai Zhan said.
"He is," Zheng Ting said, "This is just a mechanical controller."
"Hurry up." Deng Yeye said.
Qiu Shi looked at the surveillance camera above. Lin Sheng No. 2's operation outside was similar to Zheng Ting's inside. They both turned on a controller on the wall, but there was an extra thing that looked like a detonator on No. 2's side.
A figure was seen walking by on the surveillance camera in the top corridor.
"Lin Sheng is here." He felt relieved for a moment, but then he tensed up again.
Lin Sheng only brought Xu Jie and Ji Sui. Although there was only one level one Lin Sheng here, he was familiar with the terrain, and he had more than a dozen level two submerged guards with full combat effectiveness.
"This Lin Sheng..." Qiu Shi frowned, "Why... Is it possible that he..."
"It's impossible. Lin Sheng activated it urgently. The system was damaged in hibernation, so it was not fully opened." Zheng Ting operated on the controller. On the small screen, he could see various gears and tracks meshing together. He clicked a few times, and a low metal friction sound came from the wall near the door. "In mission mode, his only goal is to protect this place at all costs and eliminate the intruders."
Number Two is a standard biochemical body that retains Lin Sheng's memories and behavior style, but has lost all emotions. It has no weaknesses, is highly controllable, and is the original version of Lin Sheng.
The explosion was heard again, and the corridor shook violently and began to tilt to one side.
The alarm was broadcast repeatedly, and all lights in the main body were extinguished, leaving only the footlights and emergency exit lights supported by the backup power supply.
Two second-level stealth guards rushed out from the end of the corridor.
Lin Sheng and the other three rushed towards each other at the same time.
When they were about to collide, Xu Jie and Ji followed and jumped up from the wall on both sides, and chopped down the back of each other's neck with the knives in their hands from the air.
Lin Sheng did not attack, but passed directly between the two level 2's. He raised his hand and threw a grenade out. The moment it left his hand, he moved his fingers and the grenade rotated to the right and was thrown into the horizontal corridor in front of him with a curve.
Two level 2 soldiers fell to the ground behind him. There was a loud noise in the corridor at the corner in front of him. The strong white light made the surroundings lose their color and all objects lost their outlines.
Lin Sheng and his team wore goggles and rushed into the horizontal corridor in the white light, throwing two more mines.
Several level two players whose vision had not fully recovered had no time to dodge as thunder exploded around them.
"What the hell..." Bai Zhan stared at the screen, "Isn't he trying to hide himself?"
Lin Sheng and others could be seen on the surveillance video. When the two mines exploded, Lin Sheng did not stop to wait for the explosion, but continued to move forward against the strong airflow and explosion fragments.
Although he was at the edge of the effective range of the explosion, one could still see scratches from shrapnel on his face and body.
Zheng Ting pressed a button, and there was a sharp metallic friction sound from the door, but the door seemed to be silent.
"It's stuck." Zheng Ting said.
"He blew up the door first," Xing Bi said, "to prevent us from opening it from the inside."
"I'll try again, but..." Zheng Ting looked up at the surveillance camera on Lin Sheng's side, "If this replica explodes and hits the controller outside, it will be troublesome."
"Can we access the broadcast here to contact the outside world?" Qiu Shi asked.
"No." Zheng Ting said.
"He won't make such a mistake," Xing Bi said. Another explosion, this time from the top.
The detached ceiling panels fell down one after another, and fire could be seen at the end of another corridor in the distance. The floor also began to collapse, exposing the metal keel underneath.
"It's in front." Ji Sui said.
In the chaos, Lin Sheng saw the door of the equipment room, and several Level 2s standing at the door facing them, as well as the one behind the Level 2s...
"Leave it to us." Xu Jie said.
Killing oneself is something that would be uncomfortable for anyone, as there is no room for error in such an emergency situation.
"I," Lin Sheng said, "you guys clear the second level, don't blast, there is a controller there."
"Got it." Ji Sui said.
Unable to blast, and not having many opportunities to use guns, Lin Sheng suddenly ran and rushed towards the door of the equipment room.
Level 2 came up to meet him.
Lin Sheng did not avoid them, but rushed towards them head on.
When the distance was only a few meters, Level 2 suddenly stopped, and the ground in front of him suddenly collapsed, revealing a huge hole under the metal keel, full of flames.
Warning.
Evacuate.
ten minutes.
Lin Sheng leaped up with the force, swung an iron chain in his hand upwards, shattered the ceiling, and wrapped around the beam above. He then swung his body, crossed the hole, landed behind several second-level people, and stood in front of that "himself".
A flash grenade hanging on the lower end of the iron chain left on the beam exploded at the same time he landed, and bright light and sharp explosions filled the surroundings.
This light and sound will not have much impact on a first-level stealth guard, but it only takes a moment, a distraction.
Lin Sheng punched the "himself" on the throat.
Behind him, Xu Jie and Ji Sui also jumped over the hole in the ground and kicked down two level two players.
"This sound." Deng Yeye covered her ears.
"The door is loose." Xing Bi immediately ran towards the door, "Zheng Ting, open the door!"
The door was very soundproof. Apart from the previous explosion which came from the inner wall, they had not been able to hear any movement outside the door. But now they could hear the sound of flash bombs.
Qiu Shi rushed to the door. The door seemed to be closed, but Xing Bi felt a gap at the top.
"Do you want to pry it open?" Qiu Shi asked.
"You're dreaming." Xing Bi said and shouted to Deng Yeye over there, "Old Deng, your thunder."
"Here!" Deng Yeye raised her hand and threw the thunder over.
"Oh shit!" Qiu Shi was shocked by Deng Yeye's accuracy and her unstable shooting skills.
Xing Bi caught the thunder, picked up a steel rack next to him that was holding something unknown, swung it upwards, and inserted the legs of the rack into the crack of the door.
Then he stuck the bomb between the leg and the crack in the door.
"Step back." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi quickly hid behind the wall next to him.
After a slight "ding" sound, Xing Bi also hid over.
Bai Zhan and the others were staring at the door together on the surveillance camera, and everyone in the room was waiting for the explosion.
But at least five seconds passed and the mine did not explode.
"Mute?" Qiu Shi looked at Deng Yeye.
"It may be slow or fast, but it will definitely not be mute." Deng Yeye said with certainty.
“Shit, Lei has gone back to Yuncheng for a tour…” Qiu Shi pressed against the wall to listen to what was going on.
Xing Bi grabbed his face from behind and pulled him back. Then there was a deafening explosion, and the shelf stuck on the door was blown back to the middle of the room, leaving only a deformed half.
"Are you lacking oxygen?" Xing Bi whispered in his ear, "Or do you have ribs growing on your brain?"
Qiu Shi touched his aching ribs and said, "You can't blow me up."
"It scared me." Xing Bi said.
"I was wrong." Qiu Shihui touched his face.
Amid the explosion, No. 2 kicked Lin Sheng in the chest, and Lin Sheng slid back several meters.
Number Two didn't give him a chance to breathe. Before he could stop, he rushed in front of him and stabbed his throat with the knife in his hand.
Lin Sheng knelt on one leg to avoid the knife, then grabbed his wrist, pulled it forward, used the momentum to turn sideways, and slammed his shoulder hard under No. 2's ribs from bottom to top.
The sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard.
Number Two rolled forward, broke free from his hand, turned around and jumped up, kicking him in the head again.
Lin Sheng raised his hand to block it, but the kick was so powerful that he hit the wall next to him.
"Keep opening the door!" Bai Zhan stared at the screen.
Zheng Ting pressed the control button again and the door creaked.
"It's loose," Qiu Shi jumped up and grabbed the top of the door, then kicked the wall with his legs and pulled it back hard. The door was opened a little, and he could already see Lin Sheng fighting outside.
It was Lin Sheng, Captain Lin Shenglin, wearing the white Yuncheng uniform.
Xing Bi stuck the last mine in the door frame which had been opened wide enough.
Qiu Shi jumped down and ran back behind the wall.
Ji Sui cut off the head of the last level 2, and the level 2 fell into the hole on the ground.
The flames below shot out of the cave.
Lin Sheng seized the opportunity and kicked No. 2 hard towards the door.
fry!
But the bomb did not explode in the time he expected.
Warning!
There is no time.
There is no time.
At the moment when No. 2 was about to pounce on him, Lin Sheng rushed over and kicked him in the chest, kicking him back to the door.
The thunder finally exploded.
Lin Sheng did not dodge, but rushed forward with a knife in hand the next second after the explosion.
The door and No. 2 blocked some of the explosion's fragments, but a lot of them still penetrated his body.
However, when the pain is blocked, it has no effect on the action.
When his knife was about to pierce No. 2's throat, No. 2 suddenly raised his hand, and the feeling of the tip of the knife piercing the skin on his neck was very obvious.
Xu Jie, who was following closely behind him, had no time to make any other moves. He fell to the ground and tackled No. 2.
The kick caused No. 2's hand to deviate slightly, but the knife still pierced Lin Sheng's neck.
Lin Sheng did not retreat or stop. The knife in his hand accurately pierced the center of No. 2's throat and came out from the back of his neck.
Number Two's body froze, his eyes fixed.
Lin Sheng grabbed his hand and slowly pulled the knife out of his neck.
"Why?" asked Number Two.
I don't know who I'm asking, or what I'm asking.
"Only those who survive will win," said Lin Sheng.
"Lin Sheng!" Xing Bi climbed out from the half-open door.
"We have to swim out," Lin Sheng said, "I blew up the tunnel."
"Treat his injuries." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi threw out a medical kit.
Xu Jie picked up the box and another explosion sounded, very close to them. The flames that sprang up from the hole in the floor with the explosion rushed directly to the ceiling.
"Hurry," Ji Sui helped Lin Sheng to the wall, "There's no time, come out quickly."
"Give me a thunder." Xing Bi said.
Xu Jie threw a bomb at him.
Xing Bi climbed over the door and went back to the equipment room: "Everyone get out."
"Old Deng." Qiu Shi nodded to Deng Yeye.
Deng Yeye ran over and climbed out of the door.
"You get out." Xing Bi said.
Qiu Shi glanced at Zheng Ting who was standing inside: "He should go out first."
"He won't leave." Xing Bi said as he raised his gun and pointed it at Zheng Ting.
