Chapter 31: Death Tower
"Is there any need to discuss this? We have to get it! After we get it back, let the three bosses work overtime to modify the crystal core guns assigned to us first."
The silly boy Sun Wang spoke first, and then he was given a wave of cold stares.
"Flying Eagle, you have to be alive to get the stuff back! Didn't the captain say that anyone who takes this mission will never come back?"
Tuying said with a frown.
"Then can you refuse this mission?"
Sun Wang asked, tilting his head.
“.”
Well, the silly kid was telling the truth.
"After the equipment is in place to upgrade the crystal core gun, it will increase our bargaining chips with the Capital Base. Feiying is right. Since we can't refuse, we should think about how to complete this mission."
Hawkwing finally spoke.
"Tomorrow we will collect information, including the blueprints of the research building, the specific location of the required instruments, and whether anyone has returned alive from there. We will collect as much useful information as possible and make a decision after summarizing it."
"yes!"
After a brief meeting, everyone dispersed. Sun Yi was kept back by the four captains to ask for her opinion.
"Tongying, how do you feel about this mission?"
"It doesn't feel good, but it's not too bad either. The mission is very risky, so everyone better be cautious."
Sun Yi considered it for a moment and told the truth.
"Can you sense any specific danger?"
Eagle Mastiff asked directly.
"Not yet! Maybe after I accept the mission and arrive at the place, I will be able to sense it more clearly."
Sun Yi's superpower has broken through to the second level. Because she accurately sensed the plant mutation last time and helped the temporary base avoid a major crisis, she is considered a well-known superpower in the military. This time, in order to smoothly escort the personnel to the capital base, she was specially allowed to accompany the team.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work! Let us know if there's anything unusual."
In the next three days, basically all the team members went out to collect information, while the three researchers stayed quietly in their residence and never went out again, being very self-conscious.
On the morning of the fourth day, the escort team of twelve people left the K City base and headed to the scientific research building in K City, which was known as the "Tower of Death".
"Did they really accept that SS-level mission?"
"Yes, they spent three days collecting mission information and set out early this morning."
“Hopefully they will be successful.”
The person in charge of K City said a few words to his men and let the matter go. Everything would have to wait until they came back alive.
The research building was not located in the downtown area, and it only took them five days with three cars to avoid the large number of zombies and reach the research building.
The 25-story white scientific research building stands there, giving people a very desolate feeling. The exterior of the building is covered with green plants, turning the original white building into a green building. Only occasional white spaces allow them to determine the original color of the building.
Lianyi looked at the building and felt a sense of familiarity. She quickly searched through her original memory. This was where her original body had been after she turned into a zombie. She had lost many of her younger brothers here, wiped out a group of mutant spiders, and swallowed the crystal core of the mutant spider leader to become a third-level zombie.
"Captain, there are mutant animals in the research building. They are a group of mutant white spiders."
Sun Yi's face wrinkled into a ball. She regretted taking this task. This was the kind of thing she feared the most.
After hearing this, everyone's faces turned interesting and they turned their gazes to Eagle Wing.
"Tongying, can you hold on?"
"reluctantly."
"Let's go without further ado. Now that we know what it is, it's better than going in without knowing anything. Be careful. According to the previous plan, one team will provide cover while the other team retrieves the equipment as soon as possible. Let's go!"
At Eagle Wing's command, the three cars slowed down and approached the white research building silently. There were several cars parked at the entrance of the building. They were obviously rented by the corpse hunting team, but they never had the chance to return them.
Several people quietly walked over and checked the vehicle, and found that the door was open. It was obvious that the people inside left in a hurry.
"The stuff is on the tenth floor, let's hurry up."
Eagle Mastiff made a gesture, and a group of twelve people entered the building.
After entering the lobby on the first floor, there is a security gate. On the wall opposite the entrance is engraved the inscription "Contribute to the scientific research of the motherland". On the right side are three elevators, and opposite the elevator is the stairwell.
Everyone chose to file into the stairwell. They saw no zombies or mutant spiders.
As the group went up to the fourth floor in silence, the silence was depressing all the way, and finally Eagle Wing raised his hand and asked everyone to stop.
"Do you find it strange?"
"Yes! It's too quiet and too clean! I don't believe there won't be anyone here when the apocalypse comes. As far as I know, these researchers are so devoted to their work that it's common for them to work day and night. And there are at least five teams ahead of us, but we haven't seen any zombies, nor the spiders that Tongying mentioned, let alone any corpses."
Eagle Mastiff analyzed in a low voice.
Lianyi was also looking around at this time. She always felt a uneasy feeling in her heart.
"Ah" Sun Yi cried out in pain, holding his head and falling to the ground, in great pain.
"Oh no! Something is attacking my sister!"
Sun Wang immediately stepped forward, helped Sun Yi up, and whispered.
"Everyone attack freely now!"
Eagle Wing's eyes flashed, and he spoke immediately.
Then he immediately raised his hand and released a wave of water needles as a test, the Earth Eagle released earth spikes, the Ripple released a lightning net, and the Eagle Mastiff fired directly.
After a moment, the originally snow-white stairwell around them flashed, as if a curtain was torn open, revealing the discolored wall hidden behind it, and a white spider that had crawled to their feet and began to spin silk.
Each of these mutated spiders is as big as a football, and there are two or three white spiders the size of washbasins in the middle, which makes everyone's scalp tingle.
The next second, a team member was knocked down by the spider silk that entangled his ankle and was dragged away from the stairwell.
Lianyi decisively took out his Lei Yao Sword, poured lightning power into it, swung his hand and cut off the spider silk wrapped around his ankle, killed the spider under his feet, then leaped forward and cut off the spider silk that was dragging his teammate before the door of the stairwell closed, thus rescuing him.
"Close your eyes!"
The Eagle Mastiff roared and threw a flash bomb. A white light flashed, and the white spiders that were swarming along the stairs, walls, and top seemed to be frightened. They retreated in panic and huddled together.
"Quick! Go upstairs!"
Sun Wang supported his elder sister and rushed forward, saying through the intercom as he moved:
"The white spiders above are getting bigger and bigger, and the spider silk is very dense. We need a fire-type mutant to clear the way."
"Yan Ying!"
"receive!"
The team member who was throwing fireballs at the rear of the team immediately switched positions with the people around him, rushed to the front, and began to clear the way.
"Among this group of mutant spiders, there is actually an alien spider that can weave illusions!"
