Chapter 194 Suffocating Waiting
The sound of corrosion became increasingly noticeable.
Like a monster moving, the long trails left by the slime trails of its body announced its arrival to humankind.
—Sizzle.
Rot and erosion, mixed with roars and chewing sounds.
As more and more monsters appeared on the streets, the other sentries gradually began to hear noises coming from above.
The empty parking lot was pitch black and silent, and any sound seemed to be amplified countless times, ringing in one's ears.
When people are in a dangerous situation, their instinct is to want to escape.
Xu Pengcheng's hand holding the gun trembled slightly.
The A-level Sentinel mutants outside are extremely powerful; even high-level Sentinels have been injured.
He's only a B-rank Sentinel; he's definitely no match for him.
Xu Pengcheng's heart pounded violently in his chest like a drum, and his hand gripping the gun trembled more and more violently.
He had already imagined those horrific scenes in his mind.
Hordes of terrifying monsters appeared on the streets, their slime mixed with the stench of blood. Countless mutants lay on the ground, gnawing on the unrecognizable corpses...
The surrounding darkness seemed to have materialized, pressing down on him so much that he could hardly breathe.
Every tiny sound was like a sharp thorn, pricking his taut nerves.
Xie Tu heard rapid breathing behind him.
The B-level sentinel's mental state seemed very unstable; his instinctive fear of powerful creatures caused him to focus all his senses on hearing.
The sentries of Dongcha Town had never entered the contaminated area before, and their first attempt was at such a high level of difficulty.
If we don't intervene, he might drift into a 'daydreaming' state.
Yun Zhao naturally heard it too.
She couldn't hear anything outside, but in the empty, deathly silence, even the slightest sound in the parking lot would attract everyone's attention.
The little bluebird lay listlessly on her head.
It had little presence, unusually quiet as if it were asleep.
Once you enter the contaminated area, it's impossible to completely avoid using your abilities.
Yun Zhao forced herself to stay awake and slightly raised her fingertips, wisps of bluish-green fluorescence surging around her.
The fluorescent light flashed for a fleeting moment, illuminating the person beside him.
Xie Tu's usually indifferent face, with its hard and distinct lines, appeared even more resolute and profound under the glow of the green fluorescent light.
He was looking down at her with his head slightly lowered.
Those deep eyes seemed to grow even deeper in the instant the fluorescent light flickered.
Unable to read the emotions in his eyes, Yun Zhao winked at him, and countless fluorescent lights shot straight towards the people behind him.
Not just Xu Pengcheng.
Zhou Tianqi was injured, and the wound was covered with dark matter, which also needed to be purified.
Under the fluorescent light, Yun Zhao's face appeared even paler.
After entering the contaminated area, she kept her spirits up and frequently used her abilities.
Xie Tu saw it all but couldn't stop it.
Everyone thought that S-class Sentinels were so powerful that they were omnipotent.
He couldn't stop her from using her mental power, nor could he alleviate her mental weakness.
The spreading spiritual threads shone brightly, and the scattered fluorescent light dispelled some of the darkness, purifying the surrounding sentinels.
The rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
The sounds outside came from afar and then drew near, interspersed with muffled roars and increasingly loud chewing noises.
moment.
Yun Zhao withdrew all his mental energy, and the parking lot fell into darkness once again.
Xie Tu stretched out his arm and let her lean on him to rest for a while.
"Tsk." This subtle sound rang out softly, originating from Jiang Mu not far away.
Xie Tu ignored him and focused on the commotion outside.
Time passed slowly.
The noise on the street gradually subsided, which allowed the tense crowd to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Xie Tu turned on his phone screen and glanced at the time.
6:45.
The Sentinel Mutant ate for forty-five minutes.
Without the two captains giving any instructions, the sentries remained vigilant, constantly watching for any movement around them.
Around seven o'clock.
With their senses fully activated, Xie Tu and Jiang Mu could no longer hear any sound.
"Duan Xi, send the peregrine falcon over to check, but be careful not to get spotted," Xie Tu instructed in a low voice.
Duan Xi immediately agreed.
The peregrine falcon's figure gradually materialized, flapping its wings and flying out of the tightly closed iron gate, perching at the first-floor window to observe the outside world.
Duan Xi lowered his grip on the knife slightly and exhaled. "Captain, the monsters on the street are gone."
Danger has passed.
The sentries were finally able to breathe deeply, and without even caring about the dusty ground, they plopped down on the ground.
"Damn it, how can there be so many A-level Sentinel mutants?" Tao Haohao hugged his big sword, his face full of shock.
The A-level Sentinel variant is even more powerful than the A-level Sentinel.
They have no sense of pain, and the mucus on their bodies is corrosive.
Sentinels are at a significant disadvantage in close combat.
Not to mention that these monsters can appear and disappear out of thin air, and even Captain Jiang said that he could not detect them in advance.
Orange leaned against a supporting pillar. "This looks like a large survival base. There must have been quite a few A-level sentinels before the fall..."
That's why there are so many advanced Sentinel variants.
Rabbit, clutching her sniper rifle, glanced at the two silent captains, then, realizing a more serious problem, timidly raised her hand, "What about the number of guides?"
Everyone: "..."
Both teams simultaneously thought of contaminated zone number 88.
If even a B-rank or C-rank guide is this difficult to deal with, then if there are actually guide mutants in this contaminated area, it would be an absolute hellish challenge.
People had a vague idea about the level of danger in this contaminated area.
But no one dared to voice their true thoughts.
They tacitly pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Liu Hong and the others did not join the discussion. They had only a vague understanding of the situation inside the contaminated area and simply stood silently in the darkness.
"What are you all thinking about?"
Jiang Mu's voice rang out. He said lazily, "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Everyone, stay alert. If you can't find any other obsessions, then go and destroy the digital life world."
Maybe this thing is the gatekeeper.
Xie Tu helped Yun Zhao up and turned on the flashlight with one hand. The weak beam of light illuminated the dusty ground around them.
"It's just a piece of electronic data. Try disrupting the entire base's power system."
"That's right."
Jiang Mu followed up on his words, saying, "Even if that thing isn't the gatekeeper, we can still get the key by fulfilling the opposition's obsession."
The two captains' words were like a reassuring pill, helping the sentries regain their direction.
Yun Zhao leaned weakly against Xie Tu, her eyelids drooping. She was exhausted and didn't want to speak.
Xie Tu pursed his lips tightly. "Let's discuss this upstairs."
She needs rest.
The situation is definitely not as simple as Jiang Mu described.
To boost morale and reassure people, he spoke in a lighthearted manner.
There will definitely be a large number of monsters near the power system. They need to discuss and plan how to proceed, explore the terrain in advance, and find the location of the control room.
Upon hearing this, everyone got up from the ground, turned on their flashlights, and went upstairs along the path they had come from.
I've only walked a few steps.
An anomaly has occurred!
Suddenly all the lights in the parking lot turned on.
The sudden light caused everyone present to instinctively look up at the light tube.
Xie Tu's expression changed slightly. "Get out of here!"
