Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 74 Underground Corridor (recommendation ticket required)
“Okay.” Shang Jianyao took the lead, carrying the “Berserker” assault rifle, crossing Qiao Chu, and walking towards the stairs leading to the underground computer room.

At this time, an arm crossed in front of him.

“I will go to the front.” Jiang Baiman said solemnly.

Of course, no matter how she suppresses her voice, the volume is still not enough without comparison.

“I am awakened.” Shang Jianyao is very persistent, with a serious and serious expression.

“Why? Saving all mankind starts with us?” Jiang Baiman chuckled, “Can you detect the attacker in advance?”

Shang Jianyao nodded:
“Yes.”

“…” Jiang Baiman never thought that he would get such an answer, and the subsequent rhetoric was stuck in his throat.

A few seconds later, she suffocated a sentence:

“What is the scope?”

“ten meters.” Shang Jianyao answered calmly.

Jiang Baiman quietly relaxed:
“Then I can sense a larger range than you.

“In this environment, the sooner you find the attacker, the better.

“So, I will go ahead.”

Speaking of which, she laughed:
“This is not to deny you responsibility, but everyone has their own field of specialisation, and the professional things are left to the most professional people.

“If one day our team encounters a more dangerous situation, and your ability is the most suitable for breaking the game, then I will send you out without the slightest hesitation.”

Shang Jianyao stopped speaking, nodded, and took the initiative to take a step back and let go.

Jiang Baiman adjusted the strap of the gun, carried the grenade gun, and then changed his grip on the “ice moss” in one hand, leaving the other hand free.

The inside of the stairs is a very narrow environment, and the space to escape is limited, so you must not make mistakes.

Based on such considerations, Jiang Baiman temporarily abandoned the “United 202” pistol, which is easier to jam, and the grenade gun, which is easy to spread to itself.

——Although her “Lianhe 202” is often maintained and calibrated, it is unlikely that there will be a problem with herself, but in the current environment, she is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it is really bad luck, and it gets stuck. There is nowhere to dodge.

Of course, her grenade gun is also carried in the most accessible position. As long as those “unintentional” dare to gather under the stairs, she dare to choose the ballistic trajectory and take them away.

As for myself, I will definitely issue a creeping order in advance.

The empty hand is to prepare for the flashlight.

Jiang Baiman can sense the enemy’s electrical signals, but he can’t see the stairs in the dark environment.

There are not even the faint moonlight and starlight here.

Holding the torch, Jiang Baiman slightly cats his waist, looking at the yellow rays of light ahead, step by step down the stairs.

She did not dare to go too fast for fear that she would not be able to react in time after the attack.

When Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong entered the elevator one by one, she turned back to remind:
“When I say go down, you guys get down immediately.”

She is worried that “unintentional people” will launch grenade and throw a grenade at a distance.

Although the latter Qiao Chu, with the help of the “comprehensive early warning system” and “precision aiming system”, is likely to explode the grenade in advance, he also has to guard against the splashing of shrapnel.

If the other party’s grenades and grenade are of the poison qi type, Jiang Baiman has no other way but to let everyone hold their breath and rush back to the first floor. When the time comes, all you can rely on except Bai Chen The physique of genetic modifiers can support the use of the company’s “general-purpose biological antidote”-Qiao Chu’s external skeleton device comes with an “anti-virus filtration system”, which is not considered.

She is not sure whether this will work in the end.

If the group of “unintentional people” even had thermobaric bombs, Jiang Baiman could only admit that his fate was not good.

However, she is not too worried about the latter two situations, because she feels that “unintentional people” cannot maintain firearms and ammunition well. Since the old world annihilation, almost no one has entered here, only this time. Several groups of people, not that many equipped.

Thinking of the weirdness of “higher unintentional people” and thinking that they can use various weapons, Jiang Baiman has a toothache.

Hearing Jiang Baiman’s instructions, Long Yuehong subconsciously responded:

“Yes, team leader!”

This very airy voice immediately echoed in the stairwell, humming down layer by layer.

Long Yuehong only then woke up and realized that he had made another mistake.

“Not bad.”

“Very good.”

“Very energetic.”

Jiang Baiman, Bai Chen, and Shang Jianyao praised almost at the same time.

Qiao Chu looked indifferently, turned on the flashlight that came with the external skeleton device, and used a beam of light to signal the four people in front not to delay time.

Jiang Baiman thought for a while, and determined that there was no longer anything that needed special reminders and emphasis, so he lighted a flashlight, held ice moss, and stepped down the stairs step by step.

The wind here is a bit cold, the wall on the right has been degreased, the handrail on the left is mottled with black paint, and the metal railing is rusty.

Under the shining yellow beam of light, the stairs go deep into the dark underground, as if entering the mouth of a giant beast.

This made Long Yuehong’s nervousness and fear uncontrollably deepen, and all kinds of thoughts rolled in his mind, again doubting the necessity of this action.

Down the first floor, the staircase is extremely quiet, as if the entire world is dead.

If it wasn’t for the slight footsteps of himself and the others who could still be heard, Long Yuehong felt that he might have been mentally broken by this environment and atmosphere.

Even so, he feels that time flies very slowly.

I don’t know how long it has been, Qiao Chu, who is hanging behind the team, suddenly opened the mouth and said:

“This is it.”

“Call…” Long Yuehong suddenly relaxed.

It’s very good that Cheng was not attacked in this section of the road on the stairs!
After leaving this narrow and closed environment, there is at least room for running, rolling, and jumping, which can effectively escape.

“I didn’t take this opportunity to attack us…” Bai Chen said to himself.

Jiang Baiman subconsciously responded:
“The “unintentional” shouldn’t be preventing us from entering the underground computer room. They have no motivation and IQ, unless this is their nest.

“As a hunter, when you find that the prey is too powerful and difficult to solve, the best choice is to observe in secret, wait for the opportunity, and summon your companion to come and help.

“These are all ‘unintentional people’ who will not know how many generations later, they will not lack similar instinct or wisdom in hunting.”

Long Yuehong heard what he cared about most, and looked around worriedly:
“In other words, are they hiding in the surrounding darkness?”

“Yes, yes.” Shang Jianyao echoed with a smile, “Once someone behaves nervously, behaves weakly, and is not vigilant enough, they will target him.”

Long Yuehong was shocked.

Doesn’t this mean me?

He overcame his fear in an instant, and his spirit became tense, preventing himself from showing a weak spot.

“Okay, there is no electrical signal in the area behind the door.” Jiang Baiman stopped here, not just for speaking, “but we still follow the process and be careful.”

They immediately took cover, prepared for fire suppression, and did not relax.

Next, Jiang Baiman slammed into a controlled manner and slammed open the safe passage door leading to the underground computer room.

And she turned around and hid beside her by the force of the rebound.

After confirming that no one has attacked, they re-formed the battle formation and rushed out of the stairwell and entered a certain underground floor.

When the beam of the flashlight was shaking, they could clearly see the layout here:

The current location is an intersection. There are corridors from right to left, and there are many rooms on both sides of the corridor.

“Where is the underground computer room?” Jiang Baiman asked Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu looked around:

“I’m not sure either.”

Immediately afterwards, he added:
“You go straight first and find your way.

“If yes, tell me directly, if not, come back and change direction.”

He hardly thought about it, as if he had already made this decision.

Jiang Baiman and the others didn’t think there was any problem with this. According to the formation just now, they entered the vertical corridor.

At this time, Qiao Chu took the first two steps and emphasized:
“At the end, don’t rush to another place, make a return first.”

“No problem.” Shang Jianyao seems to be answering for Jiang Baiman.

He even smiled and waved his hand.

“Okay.” Jiang Baiman returned his attention to the front.

A group of four people, under the shining of flashlights, went deeper and deeper into this floor along the corridor.

On both sides of them, some rooms are open, some are tightly closed, and some of the doors are made of wood, and some are made of gray blue metal. Sometimes there are square tables, long tables, chairs and various machines inside.

But none of them look like a power supply room in size and appearance.

Walking along, Jiang Baiman suddenly raised his hand and fired a shot into a room to the side.

In the banging sound, one silhouette staggered from another door and flashed into the opposite corridor.

As the beam of flashlight swept away, Shang Jianyao and the others saw a figure wearing a white shirt from the back.

This back figure’s right arm is at the shoulder position, and the bright red is quickly rendered and enlarged, and it is apparent that he has been shot.

However, his speed did not slow down at all. Before Jiang Baiman and the others fired a second shot, they caught their sight.

“There is something wrong with his injury.” Bai Chen retracted his gaze and said.

“What’s wrong?” Long Yuehong asked hurriedly.

Bai Chen took a look at Jiang Baiman:
“Although the formidable power of ‘Ice Moss’ is not as good as that of ‘Lianhe 202’, it is also not too small. It shouldn’t only hurt people like this if it hits people.”

Jiang Baiman nodded gently:
“Does the’unintentional’ after many generations have their muscles evolved to such an extent that they can effectively reduce the rolling or tearing of bullets?”

“I’m not sure why this is the reason, but you have to pay attention to them later, and you can’t misjudge their injuries.” Bai Chen reminded with a serious expression.

“I hope their heads are hard enough.” Shang Jianyao smiled back.

Long Yuehong silently noted this point.

The “old tune group” continued to move forward, and no “unintentional” was encountered on the way.

Soon, they arrived at the end of the corridor.

Jiang Baiman illuminates the open room on the right with a flashlight and wants to confirm what’s inside.
But the first thing that caught their eyes was a person!

An Old Lady wrinkled with her body, dark thread hat, black woolen dress and wrinkled face.

The Old Lady’s hair out of the hat is completely white, and her hands are holding a swaddle made of red and blue cloth.

She lifted her head, looked at Jiang Baiman and the others with cloudy eyes, and said in one word:

“You guys… are so noisy… you rushed…”
