Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is a bit difficult

It looked like he had lost a lot of blood, but his injuries were relatively minor. The existence of the steel bar not only caught him but also provided a buffer for Han Nianling's fall. Otherwise, the trauma would never have been so simple. Of course, damage to internal organs and bones cannot be ruled out. possibility.

Luo Shi and the others...should be safe...

After dealing with everything about Han Nianling, her heart that had been hanging around relaxed. She took a deep breath. It was obviously the air in JD Abandoned City that was extremely polluted. In addition to being dry, it was the same as ordinary air. There is no difference.

"Then next..."

While muttering to herself, Hiei Jing looked around again and carefully observed the situation between her and Han Nianling: the drop between the lower passage and the surface was about ten meters.

The uneven wall seems to have a lot of places for landing and climbing, but the flakes and gravel that are constantly peeling off show that the structure of the wall is extremely unstable, not to mention that the shape of the wall is curved inward. The arc is impossible to climb without professional tools.

"If we could go back..."

Going back along this spacious passage from the direction where the monster entered Area 01 would be a good way to get out of trouble. However, when she saw the situation behind her clearly, she consciously closed her mouth.

The road behind was completely blocked by the ruins formed by the collapsed building. Once they deviated a few meters forward, she and Han Nianling would have been completely buried under the reinforced concrete ruins.

But the problem is: they are in the same situation as in the subway, they have no choice but to move forward, and this time it is even worse. Without the help of Uncle Lin and Xiaoliu, all they have is herself and the coma. Han Nian Ling.

Area 01A…

Hiiragi looked towards the direction of the passage. I am afraid that the place now has become the most dangerous place in JD's abandoned city. But for some reason, she felt faintly in her heart that there seemed to be some voice calling her in that direction, as if she could not see it. The nightmare leaned over her ear and repeated the name there over and over again.

Chapter 49 Move on and escape

I don’t know the current situation of Luo Shi and other team members...

From the time displayed on Han Nianling's watch, it can be judged that almost 10 minutes have passed since they fell into the ground and woke up.

Why didn't Luo Shi and the others organize a rescue during this period?Is it because they saw such a high fall height and the complex and dangerous underground environment that they concluded they were dead, or did the urgent change in the battle situation force them to temporarily retreat?

Hiiragi's heart is actually more inclined to the latter possibility. You must know that an A-level senior researcher is of great significance to the newborn city. The value of such a professional talent is inestimable. Anyone with this rating has great influence in the entire Southern Federation. He is a popular figure.

Luo Shi should be very aware of how severe the punishment will be if the protection fails. Even if he just recaptures Han Nianling's body, he can get some pardon from punishment. After all, this has proved that he has always been in his duties before the mission failed. Dutiful and conscientious.

In other words, Luo Shi must have encountered some difficulties and had to give up the rescue of Han Nianling.

Will Luo Shi and the others return to rescue?

Hiiragi Jing had no idea about this issue. Luo Shi was by no means someone who gave up easily, and the threat that forced him to retreat was definitely not an easy one.Let alone rescuing others in Area 01B, they themselves are in a difficult situation.

Forget it, let’s think about how to act next. As a lone mercenary for many years, Hiiragi’s experience has proven to her many times: Don’t place all your hopes on others. You can fight for yourself at this moment. Only you can do it yourself instead of just sitting there and waiting to die.

Carefully pushed Han Nianling onto a sofa cushion that had fallen into the underground world, and pulled the cushion to drag her into a small cave sunken into the wall. It was said that the cave was actually just a small depression, but it was hidden. There is no problem with Xia Han Nian Ling.

Then she put the healing spray canisters, security team rifles and other supplies she had sorted out into her hands to prevent Han Nianling from having trouble moving when he woke up while exploring the depths of the tunnel.

Finally, they covered the hole with the debris at hand to take safety measures, and left two fluorescent sticks for lighting... If Ross and the others could really return and only carry out rescue, based on the fluorescent sticks and the drag marks on the ground, The location of Han Nianling can be discovered.

"Huh...you should have a good rest here first..."

After doing all this, Hiiragi Jing looked at the good hiding spot that she had covered up and whispered. Hiiragi Jing was still a little relieved about Han Nianling's safety. Not to mention that she just used a hiding place and a method to eliminate the aura. Although this place is underground, dug by an unidentified but powerful monster, it is still much safer than the surface.

The collapsed building turned this place into a one-way passage. Except for a few long and narrow cracks above the head, it was all covered by the ruins of the building. Furthermore... this was the only choice. She had no way to take it with her. The unconscious Han Nianling can explore together while ensuring her life safety.

As the only choice, having such a safe shelter is already a kind of tolerance of fate...

"So……"

Hiiragi looked towards the other end of the tunnel. What was there that attracted so many monsters to yearn for... No, wait!

The second before she was lost in her thoughts, Hiei Jing seemed to wake up from a dream. Her primary purpose now was to find an exit for her and Han Nianling!As for the blue light, those monsters are no longer something she needs to worry about now.

Really, this kind of desire is obviously the most suitable for Han Nianling to express. Is it because he has been affected by staying with her for too long?

Hiei Jing shook her head in self-mockery, clenched her B-112 submachine gun that she had just taken back from Han Nianling, and headed into the darkness. Most of her shoulder injuries had recovered, and she used the B-112 submachine gun with minimal recoil. -[-] Shoulder shooting should not be a problem, but... can this level of armament cope with the next danger?

……

Compared with the spacious main road in JD Waste City, this two-way single lane appears to be relatively narrow, and the wreckage of abandoned cars lying on the road further squeezes the space available for passage.

These are perfect blocking areas for Luo Shi and others who are facing the tide of zombies. There is almost no interval between fierce gunfire. Even though the narrowness of the streets reduces the number of zombies rushing towards them, these zombies are huge. Their numbers allow them to launch attacks continuously.

Thousands of ordinary zombies were shot and fell. The next moment, new zombies would take their places and continue to charge. Under the control of the commander's pheromones, they were fearless and fearless.

The completely dead zombies almost piled up in mountains, but every team member knew: this number only accounts for a very small part of this huge zombie tide, and is just a meaningless consumable. As long as the commander of the zombie tide is still alive, then How many of these consumables are needed?

"Change the magazine! Cover me!"

After shouting, Ross quickly took out the magazine for replacement from the pocket of his vest. So far in the battle, only the last two of the six fully loaded magazines are left. The ammunition reserves of other team members are not optimistic either. .

The index finger, which was getting sore from constantly pulling the trigger, could finally take advantage of this gap to take a break. The short rest time was not even a second. As the new magazine was loaded into place, the finger had to pull down again to stop the attack. trigger.

"Hoohoho!!!"

A roar suddenly came from behind the dense tide of corpses. This sound would never be possible with the rotting vocal cords of ordinary walking corpses.

"Everyone be vigilant and watch out for the zombie tide!"

As soon as Luo Shi's shouting voice fell, four or five figures jumped out from behind the corpse tide and climbed onto the buildings on both sides of the robbery road. The sharp claws of their limbs were easily embedded deeply into the wall, allowing them to move vertically. move freely on the wall.

A first-order swift walking corpse? !

The emergence of high-level walking zombies means that the zombie tide is also dissatisfied with the stalemate and wants to seek a breakthrough. Their participation in the war has indeed brought great pressure to Luo Shi and others.

"A2, Q2 suppress the zombie tide. The others will shoot the fast zombies with me. Don't let them get close. Everyone retreats alternately!"

The first-order swift zombies used the wall as a route to advance, which dispersed the originally consistent firepower. The zombie wave that lost its suppression immediately advanced several meters. The firepower of only five people was already extremely difficult, and they had to retreat slowly. , the leather boots made a muffled sound as they stepped on the metal bullet casings. .

Luo Shi's tense facial muscles were throbbing with pain. Just a few simple adjustments to the attack of the zombies were already making it difficult for the team to support them. These were just basic zombies and had already pushed them to their limits. In this situation If you go down...

"Captain! The explosives have been placed!"

At this moment, another team member's call came from far behind. Without hesitation, Luo Shi immediately issued the next order.

"retreat!"

The other team members ran away. At this moment, the zombies who had lost their fire suppression swarmed forward. The strength of the group even pushed away the wreckage of the abandoned cars. The whole street seemed to be submerged in the tide, with waves rolling up and mixed with countless roars. .

Seeing the zombie tide quickly closing the distance between them, Luo Shi pulled out the pistol from his waist and shot back, but the bullet did not hit the body of any of the zombies in the zombie tide, but shot towards He flew towards the bottom of an abandoned car in the middle of the street.

"boom!!!"

The explosives he had placed under the car in advance were ignited by bullets. The impact of the explosion blew away all the walking corpses nearby. The flying metal fragments shuttled through the tide of corpses, leaving stumps and black blood on the ground.

Although the zombie tide soon replenished, this explosion also successfully opened the distance between the team and the zombie tide.

At the moment when Luo Shi and others rushed out of this narrow street, the team member who was assigned to arrange the explosives pressed the detonating device in his hand, and a cloud of flying dust exploded in the two buildings on both sides of the street, and the explosives were placed. All the load-bearing columns were destroyed, and the building trembled in a series of explosions and slowly collapsed toward the street.

The impact of the building made the ground tremble, turning into two towering piles of ruins in the dust that rose into the sky. Fortunately, Luo Shi's goal was achieved. These piles of ruins became an obstacle to the zombie tide. They only needed to escape immediately now. You can get away from the pursuit of the corpse tide...

"Uh ah..."

The next second, a swift zombie descended from the sky and fell into the back of the team. Its wide-open jaws bit into the shoulder of team member numbered A2. In just an instant, A2's entire shoulder was torn off, and from the horrific wound Only half of the shoulder blade was exposed, and A2, who was still alive, howled and struggled in severe pain.

"what?!"

The second-level swift walking corpse!When did he come around here? !

Compared to the first-level swift zombies, they are taller and taller. Just the posture of leaning down to eat prey is half a meter taller than an ordinary standing adult. The body is no longer as slender as the first-level ones, with blue-gray skin. There were obvious muscle bulges on his lower body, his inhuman face was covered with the blood of prey, and his mouth was mixed with dark saliva flowing on the ground.

"boom!"

Before the other team members had recovered from the bloody scene that happened before them, the second-level swift zombie had already raised its hand, and with a simple swipe, the team member standing closest to it was easily knocked away several meters away. , including the weight-bearing, the total weight of this team member is no less than [-] kilograms.

"Prepare to inject the activation potion!"

The opponent had completely blocked the retreat, and Luo Shi and others had no choice. He reached for the small pocket on his chest, which contained their last means of counterattack.

"boom!!!"

However, no one expected that the head of this second-level swift zombie would explode without any warning. At this moment, the plasma splashing in the air and the fragments of the skull seemed to be frozen in time in mid-air.

Chapter 50 begins

Standing water?

This passage dug by the monster was not as smooth as Hiiragi believed. After traveling for about a quarter of an hour in this dim underground passage, a small black pool appeared in the middle of the road ahead.

The damaged sewer pipe on the wall is the source of this pool. A steady stream of black wastewater gushes out from it, flows down the wall and merges into this pool.

The water pools did not completely submerge the road surface, but gathered at the low point in the middle. The infiltration of the ground limited the expansion of the water pools. The parts on both sides of the channel that were not submerged should be safe for passage.

The black wastewater that has accumulated in the sewers for more than 100 years already smells extremely unpleasant, and in this relatively closed environment, the putrid smell it emits is amplified several times.

Compared with the pollutants in the air, this unpleasant smell seems to be more corrosive. Every breath makes people feel that their entire lungs are burning.

She felt a lot better after holding her nose and breathing into her mouth. Hiiragi slowly walked towards the pool. The black water made it impossible to see how deep this small water was, and she didn't know what was going on. What danger is hidden?

But if you want to know whether there is any danger, you just need to verify it.

Thinking of this, Hiiragi reached into his pocket and took out a palm-sized piece of dry food. Because he ate the nutritional ointment given by the security team members last night, there was still a lot left.

This kind of dry food block, which is a mixture of various grains, is cheap and rough to make, but it is durable in storage and very filling, so it is welcomed by many scavengers and mercenaries. For Hiiragi who endured hunger for a long time in his childhood, It is a food worth cherishing.

It's just a pity to do this kind of thing...

Use a sterilized short knife to make a small wound between the index fingers, and then drop a few drops of blood on the dry food. After doing this, quickly wrap the wound with trauma tape. In the blink of an eye, the blood drops are completely integrated into the dry food. In the block, a circular dark red mark was left in place.

After a simple inspection, Hiiragi threw the processed dry food cubes into the water. The moment the dry food cubes were submerged in the water, centered on the point where the dry food cubes sank into the water, the entire pool seemed to be boiling. A series of bubbles kept rising from the depths of the water.

Accompanied by a rustling sound, it was the frantic chirping of tens of millions of mutated water worms competing for food. The black worms that kept scurrying to the surface were their true bodies.

The excitement of the smell of blood is not only attractive to these little guys the size of knuckles. During this fight, a mutated water bug more than half a meter long suddenly writhed and surfaced out of the water. Such a huge mutated water bug made Jingjing shocked for a while. , for water bugs, this is already a giant-level body.

How long has this guy been living in the sewer pipes?

Seeing the giant mutant water bug surging in the water, Hiiragi didn't shoot rashly. This mutant creature with a simple structure was extremely tenacious. A few bullets might not be enough to kill it. Instead, it would alarm the mutant water bugs in the entire pool.

In critical moments, these creatures living in the water will even jump out of the water to a height of nearly one meter to attack creatures on land. Even though their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced compared to that in the water, they cannot withstand the large number of bites.

Anyway, the activity range of these mutated water bugs is limited to the surroundings of the pool, and they pose no threat to themselves or Han Nian Ling. Moreover, their presence here has also become a natural barrier, giving way to Han Nian Ling behind. The environment is a bit safer, and there is no need to waste precious materials on these guys.

While the mutant water bugs were still focusing on the piece of dry food, Hiiragi quickly passed the puddle on the left side of the road.

The continuous boiling only lasted for a few seconds, and the water pool returned to deathly silence again, as if the turmoil just now had never happened. The weight of a whole piece of dry food was not enough for these guys to stuff their teeth.

Continuing to explore forward in this long passage, I found that the damaged sewer pipe was not the same one just now, but the pools of water were also scattered and did not reach the area of ​​the first pool I saw.

After an unknown amount of boring exploration in this dim place, although it was much better than being in the subway with almost no lighting, the thought of this being a space created by monsters made it difficult to dispel the depression in my heart.

In order to save energy and reduce wear and tear on their claws, many monsters will reuse tunnels to reduce the number of digs.

Knowing this, Hiiragi felt that a huge monster might emerge from the darkness ahead at any time, and those with only light weapons would only die.

Just when Hiiragi was worried about this dark tunnel, the light that appeared in front of her dispelled her doubts.

The collapsed ruins at the top of the passage buried all the passages ahead, but it also created an exit to the surface, and a light that was neither dim nor too strong spread at the end of the darkness.

Stepping from the darkness into the area illuminated by light, Hiiragi felt as if he was in another world. This light... was it morning?

Hiiragi estimated the distance from the underground to the surface from bottom to top: the drop was between seven and six meters, and this pile of ruins... was fairly stable.

He put the gun behind his back, stretched out his hand to test the possibility of the collapse of the pile of ruins, and then took out his short knife. This was not a professional climbing tool, but it was still more helpful than climbing with bare hands.

The almost vertical slope made climbing more difficult. Fortunately, there were many places to stand in this irregularly piled ruins, so it actually didn't take as much effort and time as I thought.

This is...area 01A?

Finally, when his eyes came out from the ground to the surface, Hiiragi was stunned for a moment by the scene that caught his eye: desolation, more complete desolation than the scenes of abandoned cities he had seen before, and there was almost nothing that could be seen wherever he looked. There are no traces of civilization remaining, and all the asphalt paved on the road has been lifted up, and it is covered with weathered gravel.

Even though he has not seen it with his own eyes and knows very little about the information here, Hiiragi is convinced that this is the core of the JD abandoned city, Area 01A, which is the legendary bomb crater area.

Although there was no clear direction, Hiei Jing's eyes slid in a certain direction involuntarily, and there seemed to be some kind of voice there... calling her...

Suddenly, a figure that swept across her peripheral vision shocked her into a cold sweat, and immediately woke her up from the chaos.

tyrant? !

The familiar black windbreaker hangs down casually, and the petite figure is sitting on a half-broken pillar. A huge scythe is placed next to the pillar. The cold light of the blade is still sharp, and there is no trace of wear.

At this time, her eyes were looking directly at the direction Hiiragi was staring at just now, and she just sat there motionless.

What...what should I do?Hiiragi Jing only felt that her limbs were stiff and unable to move. The cold sweat almost wet her back. Her scalp also felt numb, and she did not dare to take a breath.

The straight-line distance between the two was less than 20 meters. The other party didn't seem to notice her, but with the witch's ability, it was impossible to guarantee that any of her actions would cause the other party to notice. What's even worse is that Hiiragi Jing is neither above nor below, hanging. Being in mid-air was a great test for her physical strength.

At such a close distance, it only took a moment for the witch to be sent to and killed, but her arms supporting her body were really weak...

"Buzzing—"
