Chapter 9 So Close(1/2)
Tao E also plans to continue to communicate and understand the situation in depth.
Xia Yanzhen in front stopped. Tao E looked over and suppressed the curse words.
The tunnel in front of me collapsed, and a large pile of rocks and mud blocked the entire tunnel.
Unable to pass.
"Is there any other way?" Tao E asked, calming down, it seemed that it was not a surprise.
"There are three normal roads, and they are all the same as here, blocked by ghosts."
"Go back first."
Several people returned the same way and left the tunnel through the previous entrance.
As soon as he came out, Xia Yanzhen said, "Would you like to try going up the mountain?"
"It's probably within the scope of ghosts fighting against the wall. Let's give it a try," Tao E said.
Several people tried to walk to the nearby mountain again, but as expected, they were still struggling against the wall.
The range of the ghost wall was much larger than expected. Tao E and the others were able to walk around normally on the flat ground with Xia Yanzhen on their backs.
It was even more difficult to walk up the mountain, and I fell down several times.
The four people returned the same way, and the discomfort of Tao E and others gradually eased. They let go of their hands at the back and no longer struggled with themselves, and walked back very easily.
"How about it?"
Seeing the four people coming back, Li Yuan immediately greeted them.
The two soldiers reported the situation just now. Li Yuan frowned and looked at Xia Yanzhen: "Would you like to check other roads?"
"sure."
Xia Yanzhen agreed.
Several people got in the car, and Tao E asked Li Yuan about the situation in Shuiyuan Town.
Li Yuan replied that it was similar to what those soldiers said.
The man behind the scenes is directed at the higher-ups of Senluo Group.
"Although it may be a useless question, have you ever tried calling the outside world?" Tao E asked.
Li Yuan shook his head.
Naturally, communications are completely cut off. Whether it is a landline or a mobile phone, there is no signal.
There is no signal from the Internet or TV. Only things like wireless intercoms within a certain range can still be used.
There is no problem with water and electricity, and the supply is normal.
The name Shuiyuan Town has its origin. There is a large reservoir in the northwest area of the town, which supplies water to several areas including Shuiyuan Town.
There is even a small power plant where water supply and power generation are not a problem.
The black-haired monster transforms during the day without being disturbed by human sounds, and will still maintain the daily routine of the town.
"Okay, what is your laboratory studying?" Tao E looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan also showed his sincerity and did not hide anything: "It is mainly about cell engineering, about developmental biology, genetics, etc., I am..."
A lot of professional terminology burst out of his mouth.
One minute, Tao E could pretend to understand and nod his head, but later he could no longer pretend, and quickly interrupted: "Okay, okay, what about these ghosts breaking walls and stuff like that? What are your senior officials doing? Do you have any idea?"
Any clue?"
Li Yuan shook his head at first, but his answer was not completely clueless: "I know they are indeed doing something somewhere, and I am still investigating the details. Anyway, they are in a small town. Don't let me find them!"
The tone behind it was also gritted teeth.
There were locals driving, and soon they came to the second road leaving Shuiyuan Town.
It was an old road in the past. It had to pass through three short tunnels that were not long. The road in the middle was only two lanes and was quite winding.
At the entrance of the first tunnel, it was still a ghost beating the wall.
This time Tao E and others were not with Xia Yanzhen, only Xia Yanzhen went forward alone.
He put on the equipment of an armed soldier, a tactical vest, a pistol, rifle, dagger and flashlight.
I also brought a walkie-talkie, but the signal in the ghost wall was very poor and intermittent.
I don't know how useful the intercom can be.
"I'm leaving."
After briefly learning how to turn on the safety and fire a gun, Xia Yanzhen walked towards the tunnel.
Watching Xia Yanzhen leave, Li Yuan suddenly said: "What is the relationship between Mr. Tao and Mr. Xia?"
"Huh?" Tao E looked at Li Yuan and did not answer.
“Mr.
"What do you want to provoke?" Tao E looked at Li Yuan with an unkind expression.
"No, I just said it casually." Li Yuan said, "After all, before these things happened, I also trusted my director and my superiors."
"Stop provoking, we have a good relationship," Tao E said.
Xiaoxia has superb martial arts skills and a just person, so she will definitely not leave him alone and run away.
I am a good companion. I, Tao E, will never be abandoned!
However, as this was the first time that a teammate had completed a mission, Tao E felt a little guilty, not sure what the criteria for completing the mission would be.
Not one less?
Or are the tasks the same and whether they are completed or not depends on who they are?
Tao E was still thinking, when a mist rolled in over there, and Xia Yanzhen came back: "The tunnel also collapsed, but I didn't see anyone else from the Senluo Group."
"Then go to the next one." Li Yuan said.
I plan to go through all the ways out, what if something slips through?
The next road was a little further, and it took half an hour to reach a nearby four-lane bridge.
Xia Yanzhen got off the car and walked forward, and soon saw a configuration similar to the entrance of the tunnel.
Roadblocks, armored vehicles and sentries.
The difference is that this time there are no machine guns.
After discovering Xia Yanzhen, the armed soldiers also ignored the firearms on their bodies and used their bodies as weapons to rush towards Xia Yanzhen.
These people attack and are not affected by human voices.
Xia Yanzhen decisively drew the gun and pulled the trigger.
Several gunshots echoed, and even Tao E and others on the other side of the fog could hear it.
After the gunfire, Xia Yanzhen decisively threw the pistol to the ground - one shot missed. This thing is not useful at all.
It was obvious that his hand was very steady and he completely ignored the recoil without trembling, but he just missed.
The pistol is really not very good.
Several armed soldiers were close to Chi Chi, so Xia Yanzhen no longer needed the rifle, so he had to do it himself.
With a kick, the three soldiers who rushed over flew backwards.
A few minutes later, Xia Yanzhen came back: "There are people from the Senluo Group, and the bridge is broken."
"Sure enough." This result did not surprise anyone.
The same situation happened in the last place, the roads were destroyed and blocked.
The huge ghost wall enveloped the entire Shuiyuan Town, and no one could get out—except Xia Yanzhen.
Fighting against the wall has no effect on him.
Even if the normal road is blocked, he can climb out through the mountain.
However, he had no intention of leaving alone and planned to leave with Tao E.
"Let's go to our base. There are some things that only you can help us with. Break this ghost wall and leave this ghost place." Li Yuan said.
"Okay." Tao E thought for a while and agreed.
For the present, this is the only way to go.
This task is indeed difficult to accomplish.
Xia Yanzhen opened his mouth and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Li Yuan and the others, as well as the survivors they found who were not affected by the unknown, stayed in the research institute established by Sen Luo in Shuiyuan Town.
The institute has a decent area and has its own dormitories.
There are more than fifty people in total, so there is no problem living here.
