Chapter 177 Crisis Emerges
Hao Chengyue has been the captain for so many years and has witnessed too many sacrifices.
In fact, when no major incidents occur, the death rate of company employees is not that high.
After all, disasters don't happen every day.
But accidents are always sudden.
Just like now.
When Hao Chengyue learned that all 23 teams were gone, he was stunned again.
"That child... must have been very sad when he left..."
Hao Chengyue showed a trace of sadness. He had watched Zhou Kai grow up, and at this moment he felt extremely sorry for this outstanding junior.
At the same time, I feel sad.
It would be a lie to say that I'm so numb that I can't feel anything anymore.
So what if I have witnessed countless lives and deaths?
He spends most of his time in warmth and happiness, so how could he be so numb that he doesn't feel anything?
Hao Chengyue took a step back and leaned against the wall.
"I and his teacher were old comrades. In his suicide note, he asked me to pay more attention to him in the future, but I haven't paid attention to him for two years... If I go down there in the future, he will definitely chase me and beat me..."
As Hao Chengyue spoke, he smiled and shook his head twice as if he had thought of something.
But there is a hint of sadness in this smile.
Lin Jiu moved his head slightly, looking at Hao Chengyue and recording this expression in his mind.
"Maybe I will die here." After Hao Chengyue said this, before Lin Jiu could say what he should say at this time, he started to spit.
Lin Jiu was silent for a second or two, then said, "It's better not to say anything unlucky."
Hao Chengyue agreed with a smile.
"Pollution levels are decreasing." Lin Jiu took the initiative to change the subject again.
Hao Chengyue took a look and nodded.
"It seems that it is really coming to an end."
The pollution wave that lasted for half a month is finally coming to an end, but it is still far from being over.
The second outbreak after the first one, the subsequent cleanup of the battlefield, the company’s personnel and resource situation, etc....there are still many troublesome things waiting to be dealt with.
Lin Jiu didn't say anything. He glanced at the countdown estimated by the command center.
There were about seventeen minutes left.
Almost there.
"It seems that it's okay not to go to the front line." Lin Jiu said, most of his attention was focused on the system inside the helmet.
He was checking Ivan and Basil's coordinates.
Just as Hao Chengyue was about to nod in response, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a tiny crack in the void that appeared not far behind Lin Jiu.
Because the size was too small, the detection system did not detect it. It took Hao Chengyue a while to find that the thing was a void crack.
The accident happened extremely suddenly.
When a bone spur emerged from a tiny crack in the void and rushed towards Lin Jiu, Hao Chengyue's heart almost stopped beating.
Hao Chengyue wanted to go forward and pull Lin Jiu to avoid this sudden attack, but unexpectedly, Lin Jiu's reaction was faster than his.
Before Hao Chengyue shouted "Be careful", Lin Jiu suddenly came out of his helmet and dodged to the side, even remembering to pull Hao Chengyue with him.
Lin Jiu did not fall to the ground. Hearing the sound, he knew that there was a sign of breaking through the air. He simply dragged Hao Chengyue and ran several meters away.
As for the dilapidated wall, it turned into pieces one by one on the spot.
I can’t imagine what the consequences would be if this attack landed on a human.
Lin Jiu and Hao Chengyue turned their heads at the same time, only to see that the tiny crack in the void could not be closed due to the influence of the bone spur, and was even getting bigger and bigger due to more bone spurs extending from it.
The other team members on guard nearby had already noticed the movement here. Seeing that something was wrong, they immediately reported it to the command center.
"Want to attack?"
Lin Jiu's calm tone caused Hao Chengyue to glance at him sideways.
As an experienced captain, Hao Chengyue immediately assessed the current situation.
"No, bullets can't hurt these tentacles."
Even without relying on the helmet's detection system, it is obvious to the naked eye that these bone spurs are not real bones.
"I can create a rift in the void and then force my way here..."
Only then did Lin Jiu notice that there was something wrong with Hao Chengyue's expression.
He subconsciously asked what was wrong.
Hao Chengyue answered irrelevantly: "Xiaojiu, go away, quickly!"
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, several bone spurs that were originally concentrating on expanding the range of the void cracks suddenly became agitated and rushed towards Lin Jiu and Hao Chengyue!
The speed was so fast that only an afterimage was left. Lin Jiu subconsciously turned his head to dodge, but his forehead was still scratched by the tip of the bone spur, and blood and flesh burst out. In the blink of an eye, the blood dyed half of his face red.
A helmet is like cutting vegetables in front of bone spurs, it is useless.
The moment he was injured, Lin Jiu gave up the idea of cutting off the bone spur or blocking it with the gun in his hand.
The sharpness of this bone spur is really terrifying.
Hao Chengyue was pushed aside by Lin Jiu and only had scratches on his arm.
After showing concern for each other, the two of them stuck together again.
"Are these things aimed at you?"
Hao Chengyue looked at the bone spur floating flexibly in the air and glanced at Lin Jiu in surprise.
"I don't know, but I know I'm being targeted."
In fact, the reason why Lin Jiu reacted at that time was because he felt a strong malice.
That gaze full of malice, no, it should be said that it was full of hatred, was staring at his back, and it was hard not to notice it.
Then Lin Jiu heard the sound.
"I think you should stay away from me." The pain coming from his forehead was different from the pain he felt when he was injured in the past. Lin Jiu frowned, resisted the urge to cover the wound, and said with his left eye slightly narrowed.
"What are you talking about!" Hao Chengyue refused on the spot.
As the captain, it is his job to protect his teammates.
How could I be protected by team members, twice?
"No, I just feel that, Captain Hao, you're a bit of a hindrance." If you listen carefully, you'll find that Lin Jiu's voice is a bit colder.
Hao Chengyue was a little angry when he heard this, but when he saw Lin Jiu's cold face with murderous intent, he suddenly swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"When can we attack?" Lin Jiu asked.
The surrounding bone spurs retreated again, as if they were very confident that they could stop Lin Jiu from leaving.
All right....
Lin Jiu admitted that the dog trying to come out did stop him.
"At least wait until the guy inside comes out."
Hao Chengyue also took the opportunity to explain.
Some beings can forcibly create void cracks to achieve the purpose of leaving the void.
For example, some powerful and strange things, or the followers of the evil god...
"The only good news is that this guy is definitely not made entirely of this material. His body must be his weakness." Hao Chengyue subconsciously lowered his voice.
Just as humans or other creatures will die if they suffer fatal injuries, the same is true for weird things.
The same goes for powerful monsters and evil gods' followers.
Theoretically, even the evil god is the same, but only the evil god can hurt the evil god.
As to whether there really is a weakness, no one really knows.
Therefore, when facing a strong enemy, the only good news is usually:
The opponent has weaknesses.
