Chapter 143 Life and death speed
“Help me… help me…”
“It hurts so much, I hurt so much, there…is there anyone who can help me…”
“All dead…all…all dead…”
…
One after another whispered like a dream, like a ghost whispering in his ear.
It’s like an endless dream demon, in the deepest part of consciousness, constantly telling terrifying nightmares one after another.
A large number of cries for help and moans echoed in the depths of the thick fog, unknowingly approaching the main passage where Meng Lei and the others were located.
Under the flickering light, dense and strange figures appeared at both ends of the passage.
They are like distorted ghosts, emerging from the ocean of fear.
All the people present, including Meng Lei, looked at the figure of Dao Mohu. At this moment, all their scalps were numb, and they were almost dead!
“This… what’s the situation?!”
“Where did these monsters come from? How can there be so many?!”
“It’s over, we’re surrounded!”
…
In the earphones, the exclamations of everyone kept coming, and there was a deep fear on everyone’s face.
It was just a monster just now, and everyone focused on it for a long time before barely killing it.
Dozens of them would appear at the same time at once, and the overwhelming sense of oppression made it impossible for people to even have the courage to fight against them.
“These monsters themselves have grown with the mycelium around them. They should have been hiding in the channel in the depths of the fog, attracted by the battle just now and the pheromones in the air, and then through the movement of the mycelium under their feet, quietly Approaching silently.”
After a brief panic, Meng Lei immediately regained his composure and made a rational and sober analysis.
From the dense rustling around and the previous behavior of the monster they just killed, it can be found that these monsters are not fixed in place like tree stumps, they will move.
However, the speed of movement is not very fast.
It’s like moving forward in a swamp, very slowly.
But even so, the existence of these ghosts brought a huge threat to the combat team present.
That almost indestructible whip thorn, in this narrow and crowded combat environment, is simply a deadly weapon!
Even wearing a diving suit, almost no one can take a hard blow and not die.
“Commander, what should we do now?”
Someone asked anxiously, with a hint of panic in his tone.
Meng Lei turned on his flashlight and glanced around, and found that the front and rear ends of the main passage were all blocked by those strange figures at this moment.
Without hesitation, Meng Lei made a decisive decision, waved at the crowd, and shouted:
“Block the road with a grenade, everyone go this way, hurry up!”
With that said, Meng Lei took the lead in rushing towards the side passage where he had just fought with the thalamic infected body, and ran quickly towards the depths of the dense fog ahead.
The combat diving suit he was wearing was much lighter than other people’s ordinary diving suits, so he naturally took on the job of exploring the path.
As his voice fell, everyone followed.
But before leaving the main passage, two people took out two grenades and threw them towards the end of the shaking main passage, to stop those monsters from pursuing them.
For a moment.
With the sound of two huge explosions, the entire cabin seemed to have a slight earthquake, and suddenly trembled violently.
The rolling sound waves are like substance, reverberating wildly in the closed cabin, boiling this thalamic world.
Meng Lei was rushing forward, and he was also unsteady amid the trembling of the deck, stumbled and nearly fell over.
He barely kept his balance, clinging to the side of the bulkhead, striding towards the end of the passage.
At the same time, he kept reminding everyone to pay close attention to the environment around the passage.
Once you find traces of climbing up and down stairs or shaft passages, report them immediately, and start violently breaking the door in time.
While everyone was running wildly, they carefully observed.
However, it is difficult to find.
In the dim cabin, the tactical flashlight and the searchlight on the top of the diving suit swayed wildly.
Walking through such a foggy world is like walking in the world of Silent Hill that is full of ashes.
You never know what horrors await you at the next intersection.
a moment,
When Meng Lei had just turned a fork in the corner, he hadn’t had time to take two steps forward.
In the depths of the spore fog that could not be seen in the distance, there was a faint cry.
The voice was shrill, shrill and ethereal, like a ghost humming in a low voice.
At the same time, the searchlight on the top of the diving suit also faintly reflected a dark shadow in the distance, twisted and ferocious in the fog.
Meng Lei’s scalp exploded immediately, he stopped abruptly, and then shouted hysterically at the back:
“Fuck! There’s something ahead, go back! Go back!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rushing sound of breaking through the air in the dark, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the front.
In a hurry, Meng Lei didn’t have time to avoid it. He could only rely on his instinct to reluctantly turn to the side and approach the bulkhead full of mycelium.
In the next instant, the fierce wind whistled past, and rubbed against his left arm.
At that time, Meng Lei felt a strong force hit, and the outside of his left arm seemed to be scraped by a speeding truck, and he involuntarily fell over to the ground.
“Fuck me!”
The exclamation sounded, Meng Lei spun around in the air uncontrollably, and then fell headfirst on the deck floor overgrown with mycelium.
The mycelium, which is densely packed like countless tentacles, immediately resembled a hunter who smelled the smell of blood, desperately crawling towards him, trying to tie him firmly in place.
Ignoring the severe pain from his left arm, Meng Lei struggled to get up.
A large amount of adrenaline began to be secreted, temporarily relieving the physical pain.
Meng Lei got up from the ground using both hands and feet, subconsciously picked up the shotgun on his chest, shot fiercely into the depths of the thick fog in the distance, and then ran away without looking back.
At this time, the people who followed behind gathered around them one after another.
They heard Meng Lei’s swearing and screaming and knew that he must have been attacked, so they hurried forward to check his injuries.
Fortunately, the blow just now didn’t directly hit his torso, so the little fate was saved.
Moreover, although the material of the combat diving suit is light and thin, its toughness is extremely strong, which is far more resistant to strikes than ordinary diving suits!
Although the powerful blow scratched his arm, the surface of the diving suit was not damaged in the slightest, not even a trace could be seen.
I have to say, it’s worth every penny.
In times of crisis, good things can indeed save lives!
“How about it, have you found the entrance to the shaft passage?”
Meng Lei was gasping for breath while walking on the spot, covering his arms with his hands and asking the crowd.
“No, the environment here is too dim to see clearly at all, and the longer and longer the mycelium, covering most of the traces, it is difficult to find the position of the ladder.”
“The First Cause of All Realms”
Meng Lei took a deep breath when he heard the words, and a trace of anxiety flashed imperceptibly on his face.
He raised his arm and looked at the numbers on the surface of the diving suit. It had been nearly fifteen minutes since they had boarded the ship.
Before you know it, time is passing so fast that there is no extra time to waste.
“Keep looking! No matter what, find the entrance to the shaft passage, or once the beacon station is destroyed, everyone will be trapped here!”
After pondering for a while, Meng Lei said in a heavy tone.
“Yes!”
The fighters agreed one after another, and now they no longer stay in place too much, and began to explore again in a different direction.
This time, everyone ran three corridors in the thick fog of Guangguangmo Lake, and there were still no traces of shaft passages along the way.
However, those terrifying and strange thalamic infected bodies have never been encountered again.
However, another problem was put in front of everyone.
After a long and frantic exploration, they got lost.
“Commander, that’s not right, we seem to have been to this place just now, and we have come back again!”
In the fast-running team, someone suddenly stopped and looked at the familiar environment around them, with deep doubts on their faces.
Meng Leiqiang endured the constant pain from his left arm, and looked around with cold sweat on his forehead.
I found that this passage corridor seems to be really familiar, and I just ran past here not long ago.
He suddenly felt a big headache.
The scale of this E-class transport ship is much larger than that of the Sea Locust, and the corridors in the cabin are also extending in all directions.
In addition, the surrounding fog filled the air, obscuring the sight.
In the case of unfamiliar terrain, it is indeed easy to get lost.
“What should I do? What should I do?”
In a hurry, Meng Lei glanced at the plasma cutting machine hanging from the waist of a soldier, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.
“Have it!”
He immediately turned his head and commanded the crowd, shouting loudly:
“Take out the cutting machine, mark the wall with an arc, and turn around immediately when you encounter a marked passage in the future!”
“Yes!”
When the blue plasma arc touches the mycelium on the surrounding bulkhead surface, it will immediately produce a burning effect, leaving a dark scorch mark on the spot.
Marked by these scorch marks with a uniform level, everyone walked through the maze-like passage corridor, finally avoiding the situation of turning back.
However, over time.
The whispers hidden in the surrounding fog became clearer and clearer.
Those ghost crew members who were infected and parasitized, as if they could feel the traces of the movement of the crowd, followed them all the way.
And gathered from several directions, constantly compressing the activity space of the combat team.
Since the specific situation of the lower level is still unclear, Meng Lei does not dare to let everyone waste too much ammunition. After all, the materials that can be carried on the armed belt are limited, and they must ensure a certain firepower reserve to deal with the unknown dangers in the lower level area.
Therefore, it is often only when it is completely blocked by monsters in all directions.
Only then did Meng Lei give the order to blast out a **** path with precious grenades, forcibly break through, and continue to explore.
When the time came to twenty minutes after boarding.
The combat team, who was almost lost in the thick fog, finally found traces of the shaft passage buried under the mycelium package near a cabin similar to the engineering cabin workshop.
“Here! Commander, there seems to be an access ladder here, and the hatch should be nearby!”
One of the fighters who first noticed the clue shouted excitedly, pointing at the outline of the climbing ladder that was raised high on the surface of the bulkhead, and shouting continuously.
Meng Lei’s forehead was covered in sweat at the moment, but he resisted the constant pain in his arm and stared at the past.
After confirming that the outline was indeed the trace of a ladder, he immediately ordered in a deep voice:
“Quick, cut off all the nearby mycelium immediately, find the entrance of the passage, and act fast!”
Before he could finish his words, the people who had long been anxious immediately stepped forward and used the plasma gas cutters in their hands to clean up the thick layer of fine mycelium that had accumulated on the deck nearby.
At this time, on the periphery of the passage where everyone was currently, strange whispers kept coming.
The hoarse roar that seemed to be whispering like a devil, madly impacted the minds of everyone, like a madman in the tail, slowly approaching.
The monster is here again, and there is hardly any breathing time.
Meng Lei made a decisive decision, strode out with a shotgun in one hand, and shouted at the crowd:
“Two people are responsible for blocking, and the others speed up!”
The voice stopped, and immediately two fighters got up and rushed to both sides of the passage with guns.
next moment.
“Da da da da…”
Intensive gunshots sounded, and the dazzling muzzle flames flickered wildly in the fog.
Meng Lei also clinged to the wall at the corner of the passage. While stepping on the spot to avoid being entangled by mycelium under his feet, he desperately pulled the trigger and poured countless steel **** frantically toward the dim end of the distant shadows.
for a while,
The dense whispers turned into mournful wailing and painful screams, with piercing penetrating power, frantically agitating in the cabin.
at the same time,
Those thalamic infected bodies that have been tortured by bullet rain seem to have evolved the thinking of counterattack as they are constantly being blocked.
Even if the enemy was not exposed, they began to launch a fierce attack in the direction where Meng Lei and the others were hiding according to the guidance of pheromones in the air.
“boom!”
“boom!”
“boom!”
…
One thick whip thorn waved wildly, desperately hitting the surrounding bulkheads.
Especially at the corner of the passage where Meng Lei and the others were hiding, they were attacked the most.
In the blink of an eye, the bulkhead in front of Meng Lei was distorted and deformed by the blow, completely out of shape.
It is not difficult to foresee that these sturdy metal bulkheads will soon turn into a mass of scrap iron and can no longer provide an effective barrier.
Meng Lei was in a hurry, and while avoiding the monster’s attack as much as possible, he shouted desperately:
“Okay, no, those monsters are about to break through the blockade, and they can’t stop it!”
“Quick Commander!”
Someone shouted in the headset: “The position of the hatch has been found, and it is being violently cut. Just hold on for a while!”
While talking ~www.readmtl.com~ I heard a loud bang coming from one direction.
The fighter at the other end of the passage had no choice but to throw a grenade to suspend the monster’s attack.
But he himself was also stabbed by a huge whip that pierced the bulkhead bunker, hit his thigh, collapsed to the ground and cried.
Meng Lei immediately cursed secretly, hurriedly ran over, grabbed the opponent’s arm, and dragged him desperately back.
At this moment, the crowd burst into exclamations.
“Open, the hatch is open!”
Meng Lei turned his head to look, and saw a huge square hole cut open by the crowd on the deck not far away.
The current situation was critical, and Meng Lei didn’t have time to explore the way, so he immediately shouted filial piety to a few people:
“Jump down! Get out of here first!”
