Chapter 26 Light is the prelude to victory
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Seeing this face again, Fang Ye was so frightened that he desperately called for help: “Help! Help! Me! ”
A monster with a human face lurks in the darkness, but the person standing above the pit is limited in vision and can only see Fang Ye shouting and Cao Hongyi. Keep shooting.
Just when everyone was hesitating whether to go down to rescue people, Feng Ling jumped down with a flashlight——
The light of the flashlight caught sight of a huge creature. Feng Ling's heart beat faster and she felt excited for the first time in a long time!
Unable to wait to see the target clearly, the two bone blades swung away at her the moment she landed!
The real feeling of piercing a human face, piercing the carapace, and slicing through the muscles made her feel tingling, and she felt so good!
She was like a lion that had tasted the sweetness. She wanted to take advantage of the victory as soon as she hit the target, but the monster quickly climbed out of the light range and disappeared from her sight.
Feng Ling held the flashlight and scanned around, but saw nothing except a few dark holes.
Escaped into the cave again?
She frowned and looked at the remaining blood on the ground. Unlike the bugs just now, the blood shed by this monster was actually bright red.
There was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Zhou Wei who had jumped down.
Then Xiao Li and Qin Liang also slid down on ropes, and finally Huangfu Miaomiao followed carefully behind the members of the special attack team.
"Why are you guys down too?" Feng Ling walked over and asked.
Qin Liang wiped the sweat on his face, raised the black square box in his arms and said, "I just checked with the detector and found that I can get out from below."
Xiao Li continued: "And our The lighting equipment is basically in Lao Cao’s bag. Even if it is left on top, sufficient lighting is needed for action.”
Zhou Weiwu. Mei Mei asked Cao Hongyi: "How are you? Can you still walk?"
Cao Hongyi sat on the ground, holding his calf and shook his head, "I can't move, it must be a fracture."
>Zhou Wei frowned even deeper. There was no signal in the cave. He couldn't seek help from outside. There was still a long way to go before he could get out. What should he do?
"You go first, don't worry about me." Cao Hongyi said, not wanting to be a burden to the team, "I can find a smaller hole to hide, and those bugs may not find me."
"Hide. ?" Zhou Wei cursed angrily, "Do you think everything will be fine if you hide? If this pollutant cannot be removed, the worst result will be the deployment of heavy weapons for range bombing! If you stay here, you will be buried alive!"
Cao Hongyi moved Move your lips, lower your head and say nothing.
Every member of the special attack team regards the mission as more important than his own life. Now that he is dragging down the team, he feels more uncomfortable than anyone else.
Zhou Wei probably understood the mood of the team members. After roaring twice, he became angry and stopped talking.
Xiao Li put down her bag silently and took out an emergency medical kit to treat Cao Hongyi's leg injury.
Qin Liang also put down the detector in his arms and picked up the remaining lighting tools one by one, "...there are four more burning rods, two headlamps, and two small flashlights."
Zhou Wei said irritably: "That's all that's left. "Something?"
Qin Liang explained in a low voice: "I still have some burning rods in my backpack... but they just fell into the big cave."
Zhou Wei heard more. Annoyed, the beast's claws waved in the air in frustration. After entering the cave, everything went wrong. How could he continue with this mission? !
After being upset, nothing he saw was pleasing to his eyes. When he saw Qin Liang's back was still bleeding, he opened his mouth and cursed: "Don't you know your back is bleeding?! When the blood dries up, you expect me to carry you out?!"< br>
Qin Liang was stunned for a moment.
In order to save the expensive detector, he was bitten by an insect just now. Although the pain was unbearable at the time, he later just retreated and forgot about the injury on his back, and now he doesn't feel the pain anymore.
Xiao Li threw a small spray bottle over and said in a deep voice: "It's more troublesome than pain. It may be a paralyzing toxin. There is no antidote now, so let's spray disinfectant first."
< br>
Qin Liang's face was tense and he stopped talking. He took off his shirt and sprayed disinfectant on his back with great effort.
The contaminant is hidden in the cave and cannot come out. The team has lost supplies and two more people have been injured. Morale is now low.
Even Feng Ling couldn't help but feel a little depressed -
The terrain here was too favorable for the pollutant, and the lighting conditions were poor. She suspected that even if the pollutant appeared again, she might not be able to solve it. other side.
What to do?
Xiao Li said: "Vice Captain, I think lighting is the focus of this mission. When flashlights and headlamps are used, too strong light will produce shadows, resulting in local blind spots in the vision. There will also be a halo effect when moving, which is very It is not conducive to fighting, and the number of burning rods is currently seriously insufficient. If we enter a large cave, we must light at least two at a time, which means that we only have two chances to fight at most."
She took a deep breath. Angry, he looked solemnly into Zhou Wei's eyes, "We only have two chances. After two times, we must find an exit, otherwise we will be in a hard battle!"
Zhou Wei was upset, "Of course I know this, but That guy runs away too fast every time! Moreover, even if I can catch up with it, I can’t see it. Unless I can lead it to a place with light, I will definitely kill it!”
Wind! Ling listened to their conversation and fell into thinking.
The contaminant appeared twice in total. The first time it killed Chao Jianchao, and the second time he tried to attack Fang Ye but was stopped by her. From this point of view, the contaminant was not what Huangfu Miaomiao said. It has no reason at all, but in fact it has some intelligence and is good at creating opportunities.
"One thing, don't you think is strange?" Feng Ling said slowly, thinking, "Every time the pollutant appears, it is alone... I mean, why doesn't it take advantage of those bugs to attack us? Attack together? ”
Zhou Wei frowned and thought for a while, "There is something wrong indeed. When the contaminants appeared, the insect swarm had already retreated. When the insect swarm came back, the contaminants disappeared again. Obviously, taking advantage of the chaos to attack us would have a greater chance of winning. Why does it have to attack alone?"
Feng Ling thought of another detail, "If I remember correctly, when the insect swarm first appeared, almost all of them ran towards lights and flashlights. At first I thought this was just the phototaxis of insects. , but now that I think about it, these bugs are also Maybe it was intentional, deliberately destroying our lighting equipment to put us at a disadvantage. It was precisely because the environment was too dark that we entered the wrong hole, giving the pollutants an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"These. Have all the insects become sperm?" Qin Liang asked in shock.
Feng Ling said: "They are not ordinary bugs. They are the product of gene fusion. It is not uncommon to have intelligence. Moreover, the mission prompt the little skeleton received said, 'Quietness is the prelude to death. "Light is the prelude to victory." "Light" is easy to understand. Fighting in such an environment where the sun is invisible, if there is no light, it is indeed impossible for us to win. So what does "quietness" refer to? ”
Feng Ling paused. She could feel that all the chaotic thoughts were gradually coming together, pointing to an extremely clear answer.
Everyone looked at her.
Zhou Wei couldn't help but ask: "What does silence mean?"
