Section 147 Room
"This is unreasonable and doesn't make sense."
Huang He shook his head repeatedly: "Abnormal detection should be warned as soon as possible. Unless... someone forces them to do so."
Su Hao interrupted their conversation: "It's not the time to play guessing games. We are now going to the next floor. The power supply of this hospital comes from the wind energy circulation system on the nearby mountains. This kind of small power station is generally controlled by a computer. Although the system will automatically adjust the balance according to the actual electricity consumption, someone must set the voltage every time. Maintaining the most basic lighting here means that there must be people living in the main energy control room."
Huang He held the gun in his hand tightly: "You mean, let's go directly to the main control room?"
Su Hao nodded: "Except for warehouses, most of the mechanical equipment on the layer are life-saving systems. The situation here is very strange. Don't waste time. The next action steps are simplified to control electricity, and then go to the layer to find computer records. If you find any non-human creature, kill it."
The thick gate opened slowly, and a pungent smell immediately came to the face. People quickly put on the purification mask and looked at the green lines on the air detection table that represented the oxygen content was sufficient to maintain normal breathing without changes. After confirming that the gas was not toxic, they slowly took off the mask.
Huang He frowned and sniffed hard: "This tastes so weird, like rotten and deteriorated meat, but not that smelly."
Su Hao had a faint worry on his face. He didn't say a word and walked towards the depths of the passage.
It's much messier than the previous layers.
There are debris everywhere, and supply boxes can be seen everywhere in the corners of walls and aisles. Every few steps you take, you will always step on the empty shells that roll "Dingling" around. The light is still dark, and the emergency light can only barely illuminate a very small area. Relying on the dispersed thinking consciousness, the search team still maintains speed.
The passage was wide enough to fit two wheeled armored vehicles side by side. The search team formed an attack formation and trotted towards the power supply room.
Suddenly, Su Hao suddenly stopped and raised his right hand suddenly, and the entire team stopped immediately.
Yang Junhao focused his breath deep into the passage and watched for a few seconds without notice any movement.
He looked at Su Hao's back and slowly approached the Yellow River standing next to him, whispering in a voice that only two people could hear: "Damn, this guy is too cautious, right? There is nothing in front, what did he stop at?"
Huang He moved the muscles on his face and whispered: "I don't know either. Maybe... what he felt?"
Feeling is one of the most commonly used terms for soldiers and represents thinking and consciousness.
Yang Junhao shook his head: "The boy named Su is so young. I can't see anything special about him. Maybe this guy is a relative of a big man, and he climbed to this position by relying on luck and nepotism. Young man usually likes women. He is very fierce in bed for two hours, and it is worth more than us who have worked hard for twenty years."
Huang He raised his left index finger to his lips and said with dissatisfaction: "The CR team is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Getting the "full excellence" assessment results is very telling. Being cautious is not a bad thing, I don't want to die in such a place for no reason."
Yang Junhao curled his lips and was about to retort, but he heard Su Hao roar: "Just ahead, concentrate on fire and shoot———"
In the darkness, there is a vague shadow jumping back and forth.
It moves very fast, and the soldiers cannot see clearly. Even officers with second-level strength find it difficult to capture its movement rules. The appearance of the object touched by the thinking consciousness is a bit blurry, and it can be roughly distinguished that the other party is similar to a human, dragging a half-meter-long tail.
At this time, the intensive attack immediately showed an effect. The six soldiers standing in the front opened fire almost at the same time, and the bullet blocked the shadow's dodging space from different angles. The tactical lights carried by the gun immediately shone a splash of blood.
Bai Yuncong pulled out the battle axe from his backpack, shook his body forward, swung his weapon toward the black shadow that was falling from the wall. The sharp momentum and power completely overwhelmed the fear. With the guidance of consciousness perception, the carbon battle axe accurately hit the target, making a terrible sound of the axe blade cutting flesh and shattering bones.
More than a dozen tactical lights shot from all directions, and people clearly saw: a mutant creature with a broken neck lying on the ground. It was naked, with dark gray skin surfaces, with dark brown spots. The entire face stretched forward, eyes grew on both sides of the cheeks, thick lips, and wide lip line extending to the lower edges of the left and right ears.
Yang Junhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and yelled in horror: "What is this guy?"
Su Hao's eyes swept across the body of the mutant creature and stayed on the extremely thick tail with tiny scales on the surface.
"It's a mutant."
Su Hao said in a low voice: "It was originally a human like us. Viral infection made it a zombie. The genes of foreign organisms further penetrated, causing fusion between the originally rejected cells. When two different genes coexist in one body, secondary mutations are caused."
After pausing, Su Hao pointed to the corpse of the mutant creature that was still twitching: "It has not fully met the standard of evolution, and can only be regarded as an unsuccessful mutant individual. Half-human and half-beast have inherited enough mimicry effects."
Huang He fiddled with the corpse with a muzzle, his expression a little confused: "This guy looks like a gecko, can it be..."
Su Hao nodded: "Yes, its parasitic gene is a gecko. You can call it "gecko man" or "lizard man"."
After hearing this, Huang He, who was rude and contemplated for a long time, said in a little clarity: "The field hospital of the 915 Infantry Division is part of the military. The data shows that they maintained normal operation within seven months after the outbreak of the virus, and then suddenly cut off communications. We started distributing immune agents the second month after the outbreak of the virus. The number and specifications of this field hospital were higher than those of the combat troops, and they should have obtained the potion earlier than us. But you just said, the basis of the mutant... is it a zombie?"
Su Hao's expression was very calm: "This is not as simple as an ordinary hospital. Many research institutions in the military are of high level of confidentiality. The headquarters did not provide any relevant information. However, as far as I know, zombie research requires a large number of live experiments. They are likely to be captured in large quantities and are ready to be provided for research needs. In this case, it is normal to mutation."
As he said that, he turned his attention to the depths of the channel: "Our mission is to get the computer information storage. Be careful, these mutated creatures are not actually powerful, but they always have some strange and inexplicable special abilities. And they all have a common recipe——like fresh human flesh.”
The distribution room was not damaged, but the two energy reactors had stopped operating. The entire field hospital could only rely on external wind energy to maintain basic power generation.
Along the way, we encountered dozens of mutant creatures, mostly humanoids in the form of spiders and ants. Although they were ferocious and had several times faster than ordinary people, they failed to cause casualties. The search team concentrated their firepower and shot hard, collecting nearly 50 mg of silver bones and six crystals.
The steel gate leading to the layer was as thick as usual. Before Su Hao could speak, Yang Junhao was already walking in front with big strides. The expressions on their faces were no longer nervous, and occasionally they would stumble on a few harmless jokes. The relaxed atmosphere affected more and more people, although the muzzles were still aimed at the depths of the passage shrouded in darkness, their attention and spirit were no longer as concentrated as before.
Su Hao walked in the team without saying a word.
He was very confused.
According to the information provided by Xu Renjie, the 915th Infantry Division Field Hospital should be a dangerous place full of dangers. Otherwise, the whereabouts of the previous batch of reinforcements would not be unknown, and there would be a few living people.
From entering the underground area to now, no survivor was found, nor any signs of equipment or rooms being destroyed. It seemed that nothing had happened here. It turned out that the people in the hospital seemed to have evacuated on their own initiative, rather than ignorant accidents.
There is nothing wrong with the optimism of the team members. The weakest of them also have first-level reinforcement physiques. Whether it is mutated creatures in the form of geckos, or spiders and ant-type humanoids, as long as they maintain a safe distance, they can be easily killed.
Su Hao subconsciously recalled the deceased in room 116.
There is only the head and limbs, no body... Su Hao has never seen a similar record in the vast computer data documents of the future world.
He suddenly felt that his legs seemed to be a little heavy. Of course, this was not the consequence of lack of physical strength or lack of energy. Su Hao frowned and tried hard to release his mind energy, extending to explore the depths of the passage. The closed space compressed the touch to an extremely narrow range, and he could only move along the road.
Still no signs of human survival were found.
Perhaps, this field hospital is empty at all?
It is already very close to the main control room. According to the building structure marked on the electronic map, passing through the last protective gate and walking about 800 meters ahead is the location of the hospital's central computer.
Just after walking the "T" corner, people immediately smelled a wet and cold air. It was mixed with indescribable fishy smell, just like the scent of blood that was left in the sun for too long.
The cold lights are set at about fifty meters. The radius they illuminate is only one-third of that number. Between dim light and a large cluster of black, people were surprised to find that the corridor was covered with a dark red mucus, and objects in the shape of water droplets fell from the ceiling. The foot was slippery and soft, as if they were stepping on the surface of soft mud that had not yet been compacted.
The atmosphere, which had just relaxed for a few minutes, suddenly became tense again.
Huang He squatted down and touched his feet with his fingers. The ground immediately fell into a shallow pit with his fingertips as the core. It was judged visually that the depth was about two centimeters.
Su Hao pulled out the dagger and inserted it into the wall with force. The depth of the blade was about the same as the ground. He cut off a piece of attachment and Bai Yuncong knew how to shine it with tactical light. Under the bright light, he could see that this was a very soft substance, with a large amount of fishy mucus covered with.
Yang Junhao turned the angle of the spotlight on his helmet to make himself see more clearly. He asked curiously: "What is this?"
Su Hao looked at the sticky object placing in his palm and shook his head.
He had a very bad premonition, and the danger warning signs from the beginning of entering the hospital became stronger and stronger. But so far, Su Hao still doesn't understand what the source of this feeling is.
He had never seen anything like sticky.
This thing is not aggressive, but for some reason, Su Hao always feels that "it" is alive.
"Liu Han, take out the biological detector and do a simple sample analysis."
Three metal probes were inserted deeply into the sticky object, and several rows of text and symbols soon appeared on the electronic instrument panel.
"It's...organic substances, carbon-based living organisms."
Liu Han stared at the screen in disbelief, his expression as horrifying as if he was a ghost. He stuttered: "It...it is actually alive, alive."
"What did you say?"
The muscles on Yang Junhao's face twitched, and he quickly jumped away from the sticky object and stood on the uncovered hard ground outside the passage. He felt that safety was guaranteed to a certain extent, so he leaned over and asked carefully and nervously: "This thing... is also a mutated creature?"
"I, I don't know."
Liu Han shook his head, the horror and fear on his face did not subside at all. He tried hard to calm down the heart that jumped too fast, but his voice still had obvious trembling: "But it is alive, alive like us. It consists of cells, and the basic components are fat, protein, sugar, water, inorganic salts... and some other trace elements. Compared with basic components, the matching rate with humans is as high as more than 99%.
Yang Junhao held the gun in his hand tightly, breathed in the smelly air, and looked at the dark passage with fear on his face. After a moment, he turned his gaze with a negotiable meaning to Su Hao.
Su Hao understood the meaning in the other person's eyes.
"The main control room is ahead. Our mission goal is there."
He looked at Yang Junhao, then looked at the Yellow River standing next to him, and others nearby, and said calmly: "The 915 Infantry Division Field Hospital is a place full of mystery. They lost contact with the Army Headquarters a few months ago. Several consecutive batches of reinforcements were all missing, leaving no information for reference. The danger coefficient of this mission is quite high and may die at any time. If anyone wants to withdraw, they can raise it now, and I won't force it."
This is Su Hao’s truth.
He just took over the CR team, nominally the commander of this mission, but 8 will definitely not obey orders 100%. This flesh-and-blooded passage is very strange. Even in the future world, Su Hao has never seen it, or even heard of a similar place.
According to wartime rules: if accurate information indicates that the danger is too high and the troops may be destroyed, the commander has the right to terminate the mission.
Su Hao turned around and looked at the depths of the passage thoughtfully.
He felt a very uncomfortable feeling of coldness. Something should be watching him coldly in the darkness, and the rest of the team members.
Yang Junhao's face became ugly. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a deep voice: "I'm not a coward. But the current situation is obviously beyond control. We don't know what is there? These things covered with the floor and walls are actually meat... Well, they are indeed meat. This is the first time I have seen this situation. They are not ordinary mutant creatures, nor blood corpses and humanoids. I have to be responsible for my subordinates. Captain Su... Sorry."
Su Hao nodded calmly and turned his inquiring eyes to others.
Nine members of the CR team walked forward a few steps and gathered next to Su Hao.
With Yang Junhao as the core, he stood five or six meters away.
Huang He looked a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a few seconds and ordered all members of Rj around him: "You just stay here and stay alert."
After saying that, Huanghe strode to Su Hao and said seriously: "I will go in with you, but they must stay. The soldiers are obeying orders as their duty. You are the mission commander, I will obey your orders, and I must also be responsible for the rest of Rj. I hope you can understand.
Su Hao smiled lightly and explained calmly: "You misunderstood what I mean. I never thought of letting anyone take risks."
He looked around and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "You all stay and build defenses on the spot. Remember—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Huang He's face was full of surprise: "What about you?"
Su Hao turned around, stared at the endless darkness deep in the passage, and smiled: "Since you are here, you have to go in and take a look."
Walking on the soft flesh and blood surface, it seems like stepping on a thick velvet blanket that absorbs moisture. With every step, a dark red liquid will seep out of the edge of the sole of the shoe.
Su Hao refused the Yellow River and Bai Yuncong who insisted on following him. The reason was very good——I am much stronger than you. Following me, you will only become a burden.
Soldiers all worship brave men, and personal heroism can gain unprecedented worship at this time. Looking at Su Hao who gradually disappeared at the end of the passage, the people who stayed outside couldn't help but have an unreal illusion: the figure gradually swallowed by darkness was as tall as a mountain and majestic.
At the end of the corridor is an electronic induction door.
The surrounding walls are covered with thick sticky objects, and disgusting turbid liquid is constantly dripping from the ceiling. They fill the gaps in the door, revealing only a blank of about half a meter in diameter.
For some reason, Su Hao suddenly felt that he was standing in the body of some unknown monster. This flesh-covered corridor was the esophagus leading to the monster's stomach bag.
The alertness from the brain became stronger and stronger. The reflex consciousness from the nerve center kept urging him to retreat as soon as possible, leave, escape as far as he can, and never come back.
