Chapter 433 Heavy Fog
The entire area of dozens of kilometers around the portal has been classified as a restricted area. The commander of the reinforcement company sent is Captain Hu Xuefeng, whom Chen Lin had met before. He was in the unfinished Steel Capital City. While blocking the orc army, Chen Lin was by his side.
According to the arrangement of the person in charge, Chen Lin, the company sent people to quickly install a large number of detectors and automatic shooting devices around the portal. Temporary military monitors and other equipment were also installed near the portal.
The company did not leave anyone near the portal. After they finished all this, they blocked the only road below the valley. The sentry was set up at the end of the road more than ten kilometers away from the portal.
After completing all this according to Chen Lin's order, Company Commander Hu quickly returned to the camp. At this time, Chen Lin and his party had not left yet. They were looking at some of the test results produced by the scientific researchers.
"These things in the soil exceed the standard a little too much, right? I think the data exceeds the standard by more than 200 times. It's a damn thing that the plants here can still survive."
"Yes, there are thirty There are more or less similar situations in the area about 1 km away. The acid, alkali and even heavy metal particles in the soil are seriously exceeded. Ordinary plants cannot grow in this kind of soil. "
"What about the water source? ?”
“The situation is even worse. All kinds of machines with high levels of harmful substances sound alarms all the time, and the water quality is extremely poor. I feel that the acid rain here is very frequent, which leads to this result...”
Chen Lin looked through the things in his hands and remained silent for a few seconds after briefly reading.
"How many kilometers did you say nearby?"
Several senior officials of Anyun Base who came with Chen Lin looked at each other, and soon each said: "Then shall we withdraw another ten kilometers?"
Chen Lin frowned after hearing this. This distance is nearly twice as far as the initial detection distance. If the heavy fog behind the portal really expands the range to thirty kilometers after erosion, then At that time, the area where they are located will be affected!
Before Chen Lin had time to make a judgment, Captain Hu, who had returned in a hurry, had already barged in and said in a deep voice to everyone: "Everyone, the fog is coming!"
< br>“The heavy fog formed suddenly. We only captured the fog suddenly pouring out from the other side of the portal. The visibility was extremely low. Our equipment could not capture any useful images at all...”
"It seems to be spreading."
"The situation is unclear. There is a high probability that this heavy fog is also poisonous. What do they think if they are left alone? They need to withdraw together."
Hu Xuefeng is somewhat uncomfortable. Sorry, the military equipment installed is the best thing without thinking too much. However, the equipment with high hopes has been completely destroyed when the fog first formed. There are some kinds of creatures in the fog. As soon as these things come out, they will flash. Various types of brightly lit equipment launched attacks.
“I just watched the picture. The fog came out in one breath and covered all the areas. Our equipment only captured a white area, with almost no useful information.”
Lianchang Hu After leading the team to the temporary camp area here, he hurried to Chen Lin again.
Chen Lin looked into the distance again. The heavy fog was really coming towards their area. He immediately made up his mind: "Leave the camp, and the reinforcement company will evacuate urgently. All personnel will no longer You are allowed to stay here!"
"Or just go back to Anyun Base and leave Captain Hu's reinforced company here."
"Colonel Chen, we are pre-arranged at the teleportation station. The equipment near the door has been destroyed!"
Chen Lin took the telescope from Captain Hu and looked at the area shrouded in heavy fog. His vision was severely obstructed. The fog was extremely dense. It was still possible just now. The clearly visible hillside became blurry after more than ten seconds.
Company Commander Hu did not ask much about the reason or the situation. He immediately received the order and quickly began to mobilize all the company soldiers who came to garrison. Chen Lin also quickly boarded the Suzaku aircraft with the assistance of the guards. .
Chen Lin put down the telescope and whispered to everyone: "The limit distance detected just now is thirty kilometers away, which means that the heavy fog is likely to invade that distance. It is very likely that our camp will be built here. It’s not safe.”
“So fast! What was photographed before it was destroyed?”
“We detected similar soil and water sources as far away as thirty kilometers away. It may be lighter, but the overall effect is similar.”
Just after landing, Chen Lin received news from Captain Hu.
Chen Lin immediately ran outside with Captain Hu. The camp where they were stationed was actually more than 20 kilometers away from the portal below. The mountains here were higher, and everyone agreed that they would not be affected by it. Influence.
"The automatic firearms you installed inside are not moving?"
It's not dark yet, but the thick fog in the distance bursts out from the valley below. Chen Lin happened to see it when he came out. The thick fog rose from the bottom of the valley and covered the entire valley in the blink of an eye.
Due to the popularity of flying devices on the Origin Star and the enhanced power armor of all personnel here, the entire evacuation operation did not take more than a few minutes. The scientific researchers were all caught up with the aircraft and quickly After being brought to the rear, the soldiers lined up directly and turned on the flight mode and quickly withdrew to the rear.
"It was activated at the beginning, but it was quickly destroyed..."
Chen Lin groaned. According to Captain Hu, the strength of the creatures in the fog is It's very scary, even those firearms can be destroyed, so you can't enter it rashly.
"A little later, let's see what area the heavy fog can cover. Now send the company to seal off the entire outer area. No creatures are allowed to come out. Our people should not enter rashly."
Company Commander Hu agreed. It is most basic to prevent his soldiers from entering these fog-covered areas. It is obvious that Chen Lin, the person in charge of Anyun Base, also knows this very well. This makes Hu Xuefeng somewhat relieved, at least this will not happen. There were casualties among soldiers.
Chen Lin arranged the personnel on site again. The area covered by the fog covered hundreds of square kilometers. After the fog slowly extended from the valley, the expansion slowed down a lot. The temporary camp here sent out There were more than a dozen drones trying to find out what was in the fog, but the thick fog seemed to be an entire entity, and the drones couldn't capture what was inside at all.
The staff on the side were running around in a hurry to move equipment. Many of them were very interested in the sudden thick fog. In addition, the news from Company Commander Hu said that there was something in the thick fog. This group of biological researchers suddenly became fanatical about this special creature.
It actually didn’t take long for the situation to stabilize. Forty minutes later, Chen Lin heard the crisp sound of gunfire from the distance at the temporary camp.
"What's going on?" He stood up suddenly. Xiao Wu immediately ducked out of the tent, and came back a few seconds later, whispering: "I heard that the soldiers of the company in the peripheral blockade encountered a monster in the fog."
"If there is such a thing, go and see the situation."
Chen Lin did not wait for Xiao Wu to say anything and had already ducked out of the tent, and everyone on the guard team hurriedly Keep up, but as soon as the crowd reached the outermost blockade, a small team stopped them.
"Colonel Chen, you can't go any further."
The team leader saluted Chen Lin and then whispered: "There is fog invading the area in front. We have tested it. The composition of these thick fogs is complex. It is certain that it will have a very strong irritating effect on the respiratory tract. We It’s fine if you’re wearing power armor. If you’re not wearing power armor or a gas mask, you’re not allowed to enter the front.”
Chen Lin was a little surprised at first, but he figured out what was going on after hearing what the team leader said. What happened, he waved to Xiao Wu, and the guy immediately trotted over to the camp to collect equipment. There were a lot of things that needed to be obtained, and the security team quickly put on gas masks.
This time, the team leader did not stop Chen Lin and others. He stared at the ball floating on Chen Lin's right shoulder for several seconds. Although he was full of confusion about what it was, Chen Lin couldn't stop him. After all, Lin is the first person in charge of Anyun Base, and he has the rank of senior colonel. He really doesn't dare to ask rashly given his different levels.
After Chen Lin entered the fog area, the intelligent assistant immediately showed him the composition of the air in the area. As the AI's mechanical voice sounded, Chen Lin was surprised to realize the horror of the fog. , after ordinary creatures inhale these dense fogs, they may have difficulty breathing and cough continuously, or they may faint or even die from shock.
The area covered by thick fog is mainly concentrated in the area of nearly 30 kilometers ahead. There is only a light fog on their side. The company has blocked the edge area here. They have erected light markers underground to patrol. The soldier keeps the gun loaded and the safety off, his finger is on the trigger, and he can shoot directly by raising his hand.
Company Commander Hu was notified in advance of the entry of Chen Lin and others. As soon as he entered the area covered by heavy fog for a few dozen meters, Company Commander Hu and his men hurried over to greet them.
"Colonel Chen, why are you here in person!"
Hu Xuefeng trotted over and said very seriously: "Although this is the outer area of dense fog, there are still some The creature came out of the thick fog. How can I take responsibility if I accidentally hurt you?"
"I just found a monster when I fired the gun?"< br>
Captain Hu said sternly: "Although the heavy fog here has become lighter, the field of vision is still severely obstructed. Our people didn't see the monster on the device until it ran a few meters away. Fortunately, we found it. The team in front looked at it. He shot directly into the dense fog area and killed the monster easily."
"Didn't I say it can destroy equipment?"
"The glass cannon is so powerful. , Just because you are good at tearing things apart doesn’t mean that their flesh and blood bodies are also good.”
A voice came from Captain Hu’s communicator, his face became solemn, and he hurriedly spoke to Chen Lin. : "Another monster was discovered over there at the detector. Colonel, why don't you go back first? Safety is important!"
Chen Lin waved his hand nonchalantly and walked directly towards the blockade front line in the distance. Go, Captain Hu still wanted to say something, but when he thought that Chen Lin was also a soldier, he stopped talking and followed the people here quickly towards the blockade front line.
The fog became thicker as he walked forward. After walking a few meters, Chen Lin noticed that the luminous signs around him were even a little blurry. Company Commander Hu on the side quickly caught up and whispered: "The fog is still spreading, although it is very fast. Slow, but now the coverage area is far more than 30 kilometers. The blockade we set up before was outside the 30 kilometers, and now it is directly exposed to the dense fog area. "
Chen Lin was quite dissatisfied. He glanced at Hu Xuefeng and said: "This situation does not need to be considered at all. You are the direct commander of the company. It is not a big deal to lead them to retreat a certain distance quickly."
"This is not a war, this is a warning blockade. The first priority is to ensure the safety of all company members."
Captain Hu nodded quickly and said yes, the voice in the communicator became more urgent, and he hurriedly accelerated With the speed increased, everyone quickly arrived at the position a few hundred meters away. As a temporary piece of defense line appeared, the members of the two companies each took a defensive posture. The personnel in the rear took a long look after seeing the company commander who rushed over. He breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone reported quickly. Just when Chen Lin was about to just withdraw, a harsh roar suddenly came from the mist in the distance.
"The monster seems to have noticed the firepower from our side and did not dare to come over."
Hu Xuefeng glanced at the thick fog from a distance. Those monsters in the fog were not idiots. The soldiers here just now killed a giant monster that intended to invade the temporary defense line. It had the shape of a fusion creature, and the lower body It was in the shape of a crab, and on top was the shape of a mantis monster, with an alien head... This thing was probably seven or eight meters high, and it shocked everyone when it emerged from the thick fog.
This thing has a strange shape, but its body has not yet evolved to the point where it can withstand electromagnetic weapons. It was killed by the bullets from the firearm, and it didn't even have time to attack.
“You shouldn’t show up here either.”
Chen Lin didn’t pay much attention to the monster in the thick fog at this time. He frowned and looked at Company Commander Hu: “You have one or two hundred men. There are only two platoons here, do you need to come here in person?"
Hu Xuefeng was speechless for a moment. He originally came here to inspect the blockade, but he encountered the spread of thick fog and The monster appeared rashly and delayed some time without going back. In the end, he encountered Chen Lin coming over again. As a company commander, he is still blocking the front line.
"Roar..."
But now Company Commander Hu doesn't need to explain anymore. The thick fog is getting denser and denser, and the surrounding world has turned completely white. The solid fog has begun to look like liquid all around. As more and more roars came from the distance, the ground began to tremble slightly.
Xiao Wu promptly sent Chen Lin an electromagnetic rifle, but Chen Lin refused.
“The dense fog looks very deceptive, but in fact it shouldn’t be a big problem...”
Chen Lin didn’t take any weapons, he calmly pulled off the gloves on both hands. , said to Hu Xuefeng: "I will help you blow away the thick fog in this area temporarily. Your people will deal with those monsters. After the fight, we will retreat directly."
"No casualties are allowed, this is an order!"
