Chapter 42: Past Events
The car kept moving. Half a minute later, a burst of gunfire and screams came from the front.
"Ah - help!"
"Crazy, they are all crazy -"
"No, please, don't eat me."
Bang! Bang! A few more gunshots, and the sound of metal bullets flying and heavy objects falling could be heard.
The three off-road vehicles stopped suddenly. Qiao Long jumped out of the car and asked the gang members to follow him. These people pulled the bolts of their guns and began to move forward cautiously.
Heshia pressed lightly on the seat, then jumped out, and her light body passed through the dark cave without making any sound.
Although ordinary people can't see the dark cave clearly, they can only patrol with the car lights and some flashlights, but it is not difficult for her.
The ability attached to the extraordinary job is activated, and the surrounding environment is presented in the mind as if scanned by radar, even some blind spots behind are not missed.
The job that I chose when I was a child because I was afraid of the dark is inexplicably useful in this underground environment.
Avoiding the stones in the dark, Heshia took out the gun from her coat pocket, held it in her palm, and adjusted it a little.
Although I have never used a real gun before, the school has provided a week of simulated electronic gun training and introduced some basic weapon usage methods.
The Rose Federation has not fought for a long time, and military education has been reduced to this.
It is said that in the Federation four hundred years ago, every high school student had to participate in nearly half a year of military training to familiarize themselves with the use of various weapons, the driving of fighter planes, and even the simple operation of warships. The civil war at that time was very tragic, and millions of people were conscripted almost every month.
Following quietly behind, occasionally a few gang members looked back and were slightly surprised to see this quiet girl. It seemed that this girl was not the kind of vase they expected.
Soon, the front began to exchange fire.
The fierce gunfire was almost continuous. Under such firepower, the wandering and attacking out-of-control people in the distance were beaten into pieces and slowly fell down.
Half a minute later, Qiao Long raised his hand, and the people behind stopped firing.
A team of people protected Heshia in the middle and passed through this brightly lit area, while the others checked around and asked about the survivors.
"Where did these out-of-control people rush from just now? Do you know anything else?" A gang member grabbed a trembling man and let him lean against the stone wall to talk.
"I, I..." His fingers trembled and his voice was full of panic.
Although the underground world is cruel, it is still too shocking to see the out-of-control people eating alive. He will probably never forget the scene of intestines and internal organs being pulled out.
"I'll tell you, tell me." Seeing the gang member took out a gun and pointed it at his head, he finally forced himself to calm down.
"They rushed from the east gate, yes, from the direction of the east pipeline. At first we thought it was an enemy attack, but later we found something wrong."
"Didn't you resist?" Qiao Long walked out from the gang members.
"We tried to shoot, but there was a powerful guy among them, he moved very fast, and the sporadic bullets hitting him were not fatal. He rushed over and bit Will's neck."
"Then the others panicked, and then some people started running, and then they scattered, and then it was the scene you saw."
"What about that guy? I didn't see a special out-of-control person just now."
"I don't know, it may have gone somewhere else, or it may be hiding in a corner."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people present immediately patrolled around, but still did not find it.
"Up there." The cold voice of the girl suddenly came from the crowd.
Everyone immediately looked up, the lights swept across, and a blood-red ugly figure grabbed the top of the rock.
The sound of continuous shooting continued, and everyone focused their fire again, but this guy really moved very fast, and soon rushed into the darkness, leaving many bullets falling into the air.
Out of Control Human
State: Slightly Injured Mutated (lost his mind, like a beast)
Job: Blade Sequence 4 Unknown (Overall Evaluation: Excellent Dark Silver Level)
Abilities: Physical Enhancement, Beast Sense, Blade Claws, Infection
Heshia watched the other party escape into the corner ahead, summing up a little information in her mind.
Although this guy is crazy and even mutated, he at least has some wisdom, knows how to dodge and escape, and can also make a simple feint to the east and attack in the west and ambush.
"Don't worry about him, let's continue." Qiao Long frowned and looked at the direction where the monster escaped, and decided that it was more important to hurry up and save people.
"Yes." The others put away their guns, protected Heshia in the middle, and continued to move forward quickly.
The road behind was no longer passable, so they could only walk, like walking in a complex maze, but they were very familiar with it and did not hesitate.
Finally, after more than ten minutes of walking, the group arrived at another stronghold.
In the rugged cave, a corner was blocked by concrete and steel frames, the central iron door was closed, and several guns were sticking out of the window on one side.
There were corpses and bloodstains on the ground outside, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
"It's Brother Long." When Qiao Long and his men appeared, the people inside immediately shouted, and then the iron gate opened, revealing a long corridor.
As she followed the group through and walked into the corridor, Heshia could hear painful groans coming from the room in front.
It seems that more than one person was injured, she thought.
The guards made way along the way, and then passed through two steel doors, and then arrived at a relatively clean room. There were eight beds in the room as spacious as a classroom, seven of which were occupied by people, some of whom were simply bandaged, some were unconscious, and two were sealed by square ice blocks, so the situation inside could not be seen clearly.
"Wow, Qiao Long, you're back."
A woman with a strange purple-green hair color leaned against the wall. She had dark red eyes on her face, and wore a dark purple jacket and leather pants. She looked like a girl in an underground bar, but her current job might be a medical staff here.
Putting down the personal terminal she was playing with, she walked over slowly. Heshia noticed that she was still wearing black nails.
What a disrespect for the profession, the girl thought.
As a girl who was preparing to apply for the Irene Medical School in the second year of junior high school, she remembered what the teacher said in class, that medical staff must not wear nail polish, because it would not only interfere with treatment, but also leave a very bad impression on patients.
When many girls in the class were starting a trend of various nail art, Heshia was one of the few girls who did not touch such things.
"Is this the doctor you hired?" She looked at Heshia, who was masked and wearing a hood, with disdain.
"This is probably an underage student. Even if you go to a black clinic and catch one, it's better than her, tsk."
Qiao Long frowned slightly, walked over, and grabbed her shoulders.
"Let's go out and let the doctor do the work." He didn't want to explain too much.
Feeling the iron-like fingers on her shoulders, the woman finally sobered up a little. "Wait a minute, your little brother hasn't been unsealed yet."
After saying that, she broke free of Qiao Long's loose wrist with one hand, then came to two huge ice blocks and pressed her hands on them. Soon, bursts of white smoke floated up, and the temperature in the room dropped several degrees. Then the smoke dispersed, revealing two pale and bloodless people inside.
"Look at you, little sister~" The woman glanced at Heshia with ill intentions, and then followed Qiao Long out.
After seeing that everyone else had gone out, Heshia stood in front of the two most seriously ill patients and began to examine them. As a reserve medical staff, she has accumulated a lot of knowledge and skills in this area. Moreover, these people are basically external injuries, and there are no such difficult and complicated internal diseases.
Bang, the steel door closed, Qiao Long and the purple-green-haired woman came to the corridor to wait. At this time, other gang members were guarding outside, and no one came to disturb them.
"I didn't expect you to really go to the trouble of finding someone to save you. It's incredible." She took out a cigarette from the box on her waist, bit it in her mouth, and then lit it.
"Huh, I'm so suffocated." She blew out a smoke ring to soothe her nerves, then glanced at Qiao Long again, and saw that he was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and refused to
speak, so she sneered twice. "Why are you quiet now? Can't you say it?"
"Logically, people like you and me will kill or be killed one day, but you actually feel sorry for your followers. This is so weak."
"Will you be quiet if I tell you?" Qiao Long opened his eyes.
"No, but I will keep your secret."
Qiao Long didn't believe the woman's promise at all, but he knew that if he didn't say something, she would probably keep mumbling.
"I'm different from you." He talked about some past events.
"I was an official resident of the Federation when I was a child. Although I was also at the bottom of society, I have at least experienced some warmth and human touch."
"Blue followed me when he was 15 years old. At that time, I bought him from his mother who beat and abused him with a standard T5 package and let him follow me..."
"At that time, I was also new to this underground place. Many times it was not smooth. I fought with others for money, and I was often injured and fled for my life. The people around me also changed one after another." He reached out to take the cigarette thrown by the woman, pinched it between his fingers, and then lit it.
As the smoke curled up, he continued to speak.
"Many people around me are gone. Every day there is nothing to do except fighting and killing to survive in the blood. People like me are very common in the underground. Maybe one day
I will be a corpse on the street." "I was going to die too, but I provoked some gang members and was shot at. Then Blue blocked the bullet for me, so I escaped alive."
"After hesitating and struggling for many days, I finally sneaked into the gang's base, trying to find Blue to see if I could rescue him."
"This childish and immature behavior was bound to fail. The gang members immediately caught me."
"But their boss didn't kill me. He thought I was quite loyal, so he asked me if I was willing to work with him."
"Oh, is this how you joined the 'Haun' gang? This is the first time I've heard of it." The woman was a little surprised.
"No wonder you value this little brother so much. I'm afraid you don't have any relatives around you except him."
In the underground world, "brothers and sisters" are very important. In such a fierce environment, if there is no one around to rely on, even sleeping is a dangerous thing. The "brothers and sisters" mentioned here are not necessarily really related by blood. Many times they just get together by chance and build trust.
Although there are often betrayals between "brothers and sisters", such things are rare after all. They are hated by the people in the underground world. In addition, after betrayal, the reputation will be bad, and it will be almost impossible to find people who can trust each other in the future. This is a very dangerous state, because no matter how strong a person is, he has to sleep and go to the toilet. There are also times when he is vulnerable.
After listening to Qiao Long's slow words, he used his fingers to pinch out the remaining sparks on the cigarette butt, then threw it on the ground and twisted it with his feet.
"After hearing so much, come with me in the future, Jennifer." He looked at the woman in front of him.
"Aha, are you trying to recruit me? I have always been a free and gang-free person." The woman opposite showed an exaggerated expression on her face.
That's what she said, but she didn't completely refuse.
"I'll think about it later. I have to say that your story really touched me."
"Unfortunately, my intuition tells me that a woman can't easily accept a man's invitation. I also have to consider a lot of things. If I join your gang, I won't be so free in the future."
The two of them finished talking. The treatment in the house was not over yet, but there was a commotion outside.
"It's those guys!"
"They're coming again."
A series of gunshots came from outside, mixed with panic shouts and running sounds.
With a loud bang, the steel door was knocked open, and the blood-red claws waved in the sound of bullets, tearing open the bodies of gang members one by one.
