The strange hallucinations were fleeting, so fast that it was too late to confirm whether they really happened. Hao Ren shook his head vigorously, but the corridor in front of him had returned to normal. At this time, there was a second burst of gunshots in the distance. He immediately threw aside the illusion just now, and rushed to the end of the corridor quickly with his feet. Behind him were the slightly chaotic footsteps of other mercenaries. .
The data terminal is busy tossing its body in the portable space, and only senses the information outside through auditory sharing. After hearing gunshots and footsteps, it immediately shouted: "What's going on outside?"
"Ulanov may have exchanged fire with the security robots in this place," Hao Ren said quickly in his mind, "By the way, why is this corridor so long..."
He remembered that when Ulanov left, he could see the end of this corridor at a glance, but now when he ran past, he only felt the dark passage stretching out infinitely before him, and he didn't see the intersection appearing after running for a long time. The footsteps of the mercenaries behind him didn't know when they fell behind one by one. He turned his head and took a look, only to see the same dark corridor behind him. At the end of the corridor, Nolan's body could be vaguely seen. The figure, but the other people around can't see it.
"Strange, where's the soldier who came up just now?" Hao Ren muttered in a low voice. Just when he began to wonder if he was affected by some kind of illusion, another gunshot came from not far ahead, followed by There was also the sound of a dull body falling to the ground.
The voice was so close, he immediately threw aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and rushed through the darkness in front of him like a gust of wind. The next moment, Hao Ren found himself in a dimly lit rectangular hall. There were long metal boxes of unknown purpose piled up everywhere in the hall, and the strong smell of engine oil and gunpowder smoke came from all directions. He was surprised that there was still such a place hidden in the long-abandoned Northland Ring Tower, and then from the corner of his eye, he saw a figure standing upside down in the corner of the wall.
Hao Ren ran over quickly, and suddenly found that it was Ulanov who fell on the ground. His signature full-coverage helmet was unmistakable anywhere. The veteran was shot in the abdomen and chest, both fatally wounded. A gurgle of pale pink mucus gushed out from his wound, soaking a large area of the surrounding ground. And he was struggling painfully in this strange "pool of blood", and the sound of hoarse breathing continued to come from under the helmet.
"Ulanov!" Hao Ren yelled, and stepped forward to slightly support Ulanov's upper body, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of causing secondary injury. He took out the portable medical equipment from the portable space while He asked anxiously, "What's going on? Watch out for robots?"
"No... it's people... it's the enemy." Ulanov's voice was already very weak, and he raised his finger slightly to point to the other end of the hall, "Wearing an unfamiliar uniform, it's a regular army, and there are... a lot of them..."
"Don't talk, I have a medical device here, I'll explain to you what it is later." Hao Ren said quickly while using his free other hand to set the parameters of the simple medical kit He had to adjust the equipment to the maximum compatibility mode before he could receive treatment for the person in front of him: Ulanov’s current body could hardly tell whether it was a human or a machine, and it was probably difficult for conventional medical methods to repair his injuries. Hao Ren didn't even know which one was more suitable for Ulanov's current situation, a medical kit or a repair robot.
"It's useless, my pump... the pump has been punctured," Ulanov's eyes did not stop at the silver-white metal box that suddenly appeared out of thin air beside him. He waved his hand to block Hao Ren's movement, "You're a good man. But it won't save my... blood?"
Ulanov's voice and movements stopped at the same time, his hand was raised in the air, it was stained with the liquid flowing from his body, it was warm and red, and it fell drop by drop on his helmet visor, bringing The fishy sweetness of blood.
What flowed out of his body was not electrolyte and biochemical media, but blood.
Hao Ren watched this scene in astonishment, he didn't know when it all changed. But he did remember the scene where the electrolyte flowed out of the opponent's body just now. Now, however, Ulanov is covered in blood. The ground under his body has been completely soaked by this warm red liquid.
"My...blood..." Ulanov's voice suddenly became ethereal, as if his consciousness was being stripped out of this body, and even out of this world. His head slowly turned to Hao Ren, a mess Before sinking into the darkness, his brain was desperately thinking about who the person in front of him was, "I... seem to know..."
"Hao Ren, I'm Hao Ren," Hao Ren didn't know what happened, but he already felt that everything around him was undergoing a huge change. He shook Ulanov's body with a keen intuition produced by contact with supernatural power, "What's going on? You..."
"Hao Ren, yes... I know you," Ulanov's voice slowly sank, "Hao Ren, Gray Fox, Carl... Heaton... I saw it, the red one, all of us are soaked in... the red one ... inside, fire... the sky is on fire, hot, out of control, the whole world is going to burn... I'm going to..."
Hao Ren felt that Ulanov's body was gradually getting lighter, as if he was withdrawing from this world. He desperately wanted to do something to end this process, but the other party's condition was beyond the reach of medical equipment. At the last moment, Ulanov seemed to regain his strength suddenly. He desperately grabbed Hao Ren's collar, but his body was almost weightless: "Heaton... Heaton is right!"
Hao Ren felt his collar loosen. After he blinked, Ulanov's figure had completely disappeared. Only the other party's voice came intermittently from a certain position above: "I woke up... the next dream..."
"What is he trying to say?" The voice of the data terminal sounded at this time, "Do all human beings become philosophers before they die?"
"Some kind of abstract thing, your metal head can't understand." Hao Ren stood up, and saw that the place where Ulanov fell before had been completely wiped away, no matter whether it was blood or electrolyte. , "Norlan must be found, she may know something."
Hao Ren put away the medical equipment and ran towards the direction he came from, but after running out of the hall, what appeared in front of him was an unfamiliar scene.
The previous dark passageway was gone, and replaced by a dimly lit alloy corridor. This was not just a difference in lighting—he clearly remembered what the original corridor looked like, and it was definitely a completely different place in front of him, even In terms of architectural style, it doesn't look like the inside of the Beidi Ring Tower.
"Okay, before you find Nolan, you must first find the way back," the data terminal said, "if that way still exists."
Hao Ren clenched the rifle tightly, prayed casually to his sixth sense, and then ran in a certain direction: no matter what happened here, at least he remembered that he was running from this direction.
Just as he was running wildly, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind, mixed with messy shouts and vulgar curses. Hao Ren looked back in surprise, just in time to see a group of soldiers in gray-blue combat uniforms rushing out from the corner of a corridor that appeared at an unknown time.
The soldiers were obviously taken aback when they saw Hao Ren, but they didn't hesitate in their actions. They raised their guns almost instantly, and then fired without warning.
There was no warning and no communication. It seemed that the purpose of these soldiers coming here was to destroy all targets except them. Hao Ren was a little flustered by the sudden attack, and the bullets jingled and burst out of his body. spark.
"Damn! Why are there so many people suddenly appearing in this place!" He yelled and rushed up quickly, using his shield against the hail of bullets to fight with the soldiers who came out of nowhere—or It was a one-sided beating.
When those ordinary human soldiers saw that Hao Ren was invulnerable, they were already blindfolded, and then it was completely instinctive to make them continue to pull the trigger, but it was meaningless: Hao Ren's figure rushing towards them was almost nothing to these ordinary people. A series of black remnants cannot be captured by the naked eye. And their unreasonable deadly attacks made Hao Ren realize that he didn't need to hold back his hands in front of these people, and he didn't need to use very powerful weapons to deal with these ordinary people with mortal bodies. Three strikes, five divisions and two divisions knocked down all the enemies in front of him.
However, Hao Ren did not make a fatal move: he urgently needed to understand what was going on. (to be continued~^~)
