The helicopter successfully took off.
However, Roberts underestimated these mutated creatures.
These mutated organisms have been parasitized, and their intelligence may have been significantly reduced.
Just as Roberts' plane rose two meters above the ground,
Some of the mutated creatures even leaped high into the air and suicidally crashed into the propeller.
The mutated creature that collided with the propeller was like meat that had been hit by a meat grinder; it was instantly shredded into several pieces.
A single mutated creature is not enough to destroy a helicopter's rotor.
Several mutated creatures jumped up at the same time, all crashing their bodies into the helicopter's propeller.
In an instant, bits of flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
The helicopter's rotors couldn't withstand the strain either; one of them snapped with a loud "crack!"
The helicopter veered to the side and crashed into the ground.
The remaining propeller swept across the ground, stirring up a cloud of dirt before breaking off, causing the helicopter to tumble several times.
Roberts and Gates were thrown around in the helicopter and were completely disoriented.
Fortunately, they were all well-trained soldiers.
He quickly pulled out a radiation-proof blanket, wrapped himself in it, and hid.
The parasitized mutated creatures around them gradually approached, staring warily at the metal lump of helicopter.
A mutated creature attempted to attack the helicopter, while other mutated creatures opened their mouths to bite the metal lump.
However, the helicopter fuselage was just an inanimate object and did not react at all.
These mutated creatures attacked and tore at the fuselage a few times, but finding it to be inanimate, they stopped attacking the helicopter.
He turned around and continued to linger nearby, guarding this land.
Roberts and Gates were utterly desperate.
The destruction of the helicopter meant they lost a chance to escape.
They carefully hid inside the fuselage.
Roberts picked up the communication device and tried to call for help from his comrades in the makeshift base.
The signal isn't great here, but we can still make contact.
The temporary base learned of their predicament and responded that they would try to rescue them.
However, time passed day by day.
Roberts and Gates were both unshaven and looked like ghosts.
Every time they contacted the temporary base, the response was always the same: they would try to find a way to rescue them.
Looking at the date, it's already been more than ten days.
They had no idea how they had gotten through those ten days or so.
The mutated creatures that were parasitized outside never left.
Despair began to surround the two of them.
On that day, they contacted the temporary base again, and the temporary base told them that they had to return to the fishing port and could no longer stay there.
"What do we do then?" Roberts exclaimed in alarm.
There was a brief silence at the temporary base before they said, "We've tried many methods these past few days, but with our limited forces, we simply can't penetrate deeper into the Purple Forbidden Zone."
Roberts asked in alarm, "What do you mean by that?"
"What we mean is, we can't save you unless mechs get in."
Roberts felt a sudden surge of joy. Oh right, there were also mecha warriors.
Roberts said, "I request support from mech warriors!"
There was another brief silence at the temporary base before someone slowly said, "A lot has happened these past few days. There were also problems with the mech warriors, so we haven't had time to come over."
Roberts's spirits plummeted once again: "What on earth happened?"
Roberts sensed something was wrong when the radiation storm hit, because no one gave any warning, which is why they were trapped here.
How despairing it is to tell him that the mech warriors are also having problems.
The temporary base replied: "I don't have time to talk to you anymore. I have to evacuate immediately. Don't contact us again. Good luck."
After finishing their conversation, the temporary base cut off the communication signal.
Roberts tried to contact them again, but was unable to reach the temporary base.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Roberts yelled.
The temporary base rescue was their only hope for survival.
Now that this hope is gone, how can they not be terrified?
Roberts looked up and found that Gates was already in tears.
"How could they do this? How could they do this!"
Gates slammed his fist into the cabin.
Roberts was startled, fearing that the sound he made would attract the mutated creature.
Gates was unwilling to accept this; he had worked diligently for the organization, only to be abandoned in the end.
Unable to accept this reality, Gates went mad, pulled out a pistol, and pressed it against his own throat.
He was in tears: "I'm so tired, so very tired. I'm going to see God."
They were able to hold on for so long because they had hope. Now that hope is gone, their emotions have naturally collapsed.
