Chapter 49 The scene
When approaching the entrance of the cave, Jiang Baimian stopped and turned to Long Yuehong, who was wearing an exoskeleton device:
"You're here to be on guard."
She thought about it and added:
"Look at the outside of the woods more. If the Jeep is lost, Bai Chen and I have nothing to do with you. You will have the 'enjoy'. If you come step by step, humans can accept and adapt to many things, but if they reach the difficulty of hell, most creatures will collapse directly."
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong was not disappointed in the fact that he could not enter the Black Rat Town, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
From the residents of the Black Rat Town who died outside, he seemed to be able to foresee the tragic situation of the cave, suspected that this would have a strong impact on his spirit and leave a psychological shadow that needs treatment.
After giving instructions to Long Yuehong, Jiang Baimian turned around, bent down, and walked into the hole that was almost one meter four meters high.
Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao each held weapons, following behind one left and one right, with only one waist and back, with knees bent hard, making it a bit difficult to walk, and the other was relatively good.
Instead of observing outside first, confirming the general situation before entering, instead fully trusting the team leader's ability to induce weak electric signals.
In this regard, Jiang Baimian has shown enough credibility.
There is also skylight shining at the entrance of the cave, which makes people barely see the surrounding situation. The more inside, the darker it becomes, until you can't see your five fingers.
At this time, Jiang Baimian had taken out a flashlight with a silver-white shell with a distinct grainy feeling and pushed the switch up.
A yellowish beam of light shot out, illuminating a certain area in front of him, and then combined with the natural light close to the entrance, Shang Jianyao first saw what the scene in front of him looked like:
The cave is quite wide, and deeper it is still shrouded in darkness and there is no end to see.
There were originally a series of naturally formed stone pillars here, but they were broken at this time. A large number of stones, moss and dust fell from the top of the cave and covered the surface.
The ground is based on the center position of Jiang Baimian flashlight as the origin, and it emits traces of flame burning out in a circular shape.
In the inner pothole closest to the origin, there are no intact corpses that can be called, only countless charred and red minced meat and blood mixed between stones and soil.
In the middle circle outside the potholes, short corpses were lodged, with charred bodies on the surface, and there were many broken parts, with extremely miserable deaths.
As Jiang Baimian flashlight moved, Shang Jianyao saw what was happening outside the central circle, near the edge of the cave wall:
There are also corpses of residents of Black Rat Town that fall to the ground in various states, but their bodies are basically intact, with only a certain burning mark. In addition, some of the thick black hairs remain.
Some of them did not see obvious external injuries, some had terrible wounds tearing out by bullets on their backs and chests, and many of them had no clothes.
The hole that Shang Jianyao looked at was not left except for the porcelain bowls, ceramic bowls, and mud bowls that were broken into small pieces.
No one needs to explain such a scene. Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen both instantly understood a fact:
Black Rat Town was slaughtered.
Jiang Baimian looked around silently, sighed:
"It may be a thermopress bomb fired by a shoulder-mounted individual combat weapon...
"Those who didn't die on the spot were also shot.
“Very professional.”
Thermal pressure bomb is a combination of high-explosive bombs and fuel-air bombs, which are mainly used to kill enemies in limited spaces such as caves and underground bunkers.
After the temperature-pressure bomb explodes, it will consume the surrounding oxygen, release a large amount of energy, and generate a high-speed expansion fireball. This fireball will surround the limited environment with high-pressure shock waves, killing enemies and destroying equipment to the greatest extent.
For places like Black Rat Town, where the entrance is only 1.4 meters high, it is obviously an unwise choice to rush in to fight residents who adapt to this environment. It is the best way to directly fire thermostuff bombs and various bombs into it.
"Not many teams have this kind of bomb, and some major forces do not have it." Bai Chen tried hard to calm himself down and replied simply.
Although she is an experienced former wilderness wanderer and is used to fighting and killing, this is the first time she has witnessed the direct slaughter of a town and a settlement.
Even if the corpses and minced meat on the ground belong to the second person, they are full of indescribable shock and horror.
In any case, the residents of Black Rat Town have almost no difference from normal humans except for their height, nails and body hair.
——Bai Chen actually saw the slaughtered settlements, but it was long after the tragedy. Except for the small amount of remains of corpses and uninhabited dilapidated houses, other traces no longer existed.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"Take out the flashlight and look for clues separately.
"Maybe, maybe there are still a few survivors?"
Shang Jianyao immediately took off the flashlight and the standard "Ice Moss" pistol from the armed belt, illuminating it with one hand and holding the gun with the other hand and walking towards the edge.
He does not think there will be survivors in the center of the explosion and the surrounding areas.
After checking the bodies one by one, Shang Jianyao saw a woman with her back facing her and curled up.
She still had clothes left, her hands and feet gathered together, as if she was hugging something tightly and pressing it under her.
The back of the corpse was vaguely visible to the thick black sweat hair, and there was a wound with dark red blood solidified. It was obvious that someone had a gun.
Shang Jianyao, who was already bent over, squatted down and used a flashlight as a stick to turn over the body of the black rat town's corpse.
As the light column shook, Shang Jianyao saw a little girl.
She was wearing a very old but fairly clean white dress, and was held tightly between the chest and abdomen by the adult woman, and at first glance, she was not hurt at all.
Shang Jianyao put the flashlight on the ground and tried to check the little girl's condition, but he couldn't break the hand of the adult woman.
After giving up this instinctive attempt, Shang Jianyao saw that the little girl's face was cyanotic, and there were traces of dark red blood flowing out of the chest and abdomen of the adult woman.
He then used his fingers to measure the other person's breath and felt his lower body temperature.
After a few seconds, he slowly withdrew his palm.
Because the two bodies that were hugging each other tightly turned over, Shang Jianyao quickly used the light of the flashlight to find that where they had fallen, there was a sag that was located at the junction of the rock wall of the cave and the ground, extending deeper, with obvious nail marks remaining on it.
Seeing this sag, Shang Jianyao seemed to have seen the scene at that time:
During the enemy's attack, a female town citizen of Black Rat Town is anxiously using her talents to create a shelter for her children.
Unfortunately, this failed to pass the bomb.
Shang Jianyao reached out and touched the depression and found that there was a small naturally formed hole there, and there seemed to be a cold thing in the hole that was unknown.
He took out the thing and, with the light of the flashlight, he found that it was a rectangular black object a little taller than his middle finger.
There is a micro display screen similar to LCD at the top of this item, with several buttons in the middle and a speaker covered by a grid below.
When Shang Jianyao studied electronics at university, it is naturally not difficult to tell what this ragged and old thing is.
This is an old world recorder, a recording pen repaired and modified by the people of Black Rat Town.
Perhaps it fell into the hollow in the depression early, or perhaps it was quite far from the center of the explosion and was blocked by human bodies, so there was no trace of damage to the electronic device.
Shang Jianyao squatted on one knee, made a brief study, and pressed a button:
Amid the banging gunshots and various chaotic movements, a tender voice asked in fear and confusion:
"Mom, mom, why do they kill us?"
A slightly silence and trembling voice replied:
"Because we are the next person."
A tender voice asked:
"What is the second person?"
The slightly hoarse voice was silent for a few seconds before answering:
"That's, it's the sick person."
That tender voice became more and more puzzled:
"But, Mom, just because we were sick, would they kill us?
"I, I can repair electronic equipment, I'm very useful..."
The sound of gunfire suddenly became closer, as if it had reached the entrance of the cave, followed by the sound of something falling, and the recording ended abruptly.
After listening in silence, Shang Jianyao turned his eyes to the two corpses again:
Whether it was the adult woman or the little girl, there were no thick black hairs on her face, and there were obvious signs of shaved eyes and looked clean.
This is like many female employees of "Pangu Biology".
This recording volume is quite loud, and Jiang Baimian, who was walking deeper, and Bai Chen, on the other side, could hear it clearly.
They also became extremely silent, and no one spoke or moved for a long time.
After a while, Jiang Baimian breathed slowly:
"Continue to search for clues."
Shang Jianyao solemnly put the recording pen into his pocket, then took the flashlight and bent down to stand up again.
As the light column moved, he saw some words on the rock wall of the cave.
These words are gray-silver language and have obviously existed for many years. Many places have long been blurred. It is obviously not left behind by the people of the Black Rat Town when they were attacked.
Shang Jianyao put the flashlight over, carefully distinguished it for more than ten seconds, and finally recognized a few of the words:
“…just visit here…”
“…Kim and…Le will never be separated…”
At this time, Jiang Baimian seemed to see something similar, shook the flashlight, and said with some emotion:
"It seemed like it was a tourist attraction before the destruction of the Old World? Who would like to come here so short?"
After saying that, she stared at the rock wall for a long time.
After a while, she finally looked away and searched for possible clues.
More than ten minutes later, the three of them met again at the entrance of the cave with natural light.
Jiang Baimian said with regret:
"The people in Hei Shui Town have dug out two prepared escape passages before, but unfortunately, the thermostuff bomb or other similar bombs came too quickly."
"And the attacker left no clues." Bai Chen responded.
Jiang Baimian shook his head:
"It's not that I didn't stay, but after the battle was resolved, I deliberately spent time dealing with it."
Chapter completed!
