Chapter 233 Dark Shadow
"Building, KIKI, you two, go to the 7th floor and bring the full-effect life surgical medical cabin back to the car, and call some more people down."

Lin Xian looked out the window at the empty research hall and the many remaining research equipment, and said directly: "Before the water comes up, let's search this institute thoroughly. I see there are many employee rest areas and offices here. Don't miss even some daily necessities. It will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future."

"Yeah." Shuqin nodded: "You're right. Now the No. 5 and No. 7 star abysses are beginning to spread, and no matter which line we go in the future, we will be close to the direction of the star abyss. The faster we go, the faster it will get dark. This afternoon, many survivors have reported to the radio station that the east, the north, and the Parma grassland are now in a blizzard, and there are many extremely cold vortices approaching us, and the No. 3 star abyss is not far away from us."

Ding Junyi was busy searching for useful information among the papers on the floor of Hua Xiaoling's office. Without even looking up, she said, "The extreme cold vortex is caused by the moisture from Shijiu Lake in the Yunjiang Plain and the southeastern sea being swept away by the tides of Star Abyss No. 8 and Star Abyss No. 4. The snowstorm it brings will be unprecedented. The Federation has done a natural disaster assessment on this point before, and it seems to be very correct at the moment."

Lin Xian's face darkened when he heard this. "Yes, the temperature at Hengshan Pass has been dropping. To get out of this station, we must rush through the encirclement of Xingyuan No. 5 and No. 7 in one go. So it will be difficult to search for supplies or replenish supplies on the road. Now that we have a chance, we must seize it quickly."

KIKI shrugged, stared with wide eyes and said puzzledly: "I can carry that thing out by myself, why did you call the big guy?"

Lin Xian glanced at her speechlessly: "That thing is very precious. If you encounter any trouble on the road, you need someone to take care of you. Otherwise, you will be thrown out like a sandbag to hit the zombies. Where can I get another one?"

KIKI stuck out her tongue, thinking that this was something she could do.

"Okay, Brother Xian, we'll go first." Dalou nodded and never questioned Lin Xian's arrangements.

"Then you guys better be careful. I'll call more people to come over when I get back and clear this place out!" KIKI said, and followed the building back to the 7th floor.

Lin Xian looked at Director Ding who was still busy searching for information, and then said to Shu Qin, "Let's go. I think the water on this floor will soon rise. Let's look around and see if there is anything suitable, and then go up the stairs one floor at a time. I think there should be some useful things in the armory on the 5th floor."

"Yeah." Shuqin nodded, took out the Remington M96, and the three of them walked down the stairs at the end of the office to the research hall on the lower floor.

Before I even walked down the stairs, I could already hear the sound of rushing water, and many lights began to dim due to short circuits.

Lin Xian and the other two walked down and found that the corridor on the lower floor had begun to flood, enough to submerge their feet. A bone-chilling feeling instantly came over them.

Empty, empty, empty. The dull sound of wind kept whistling in my ears from the depths of the passage.

"The water has risen to this level." Shuqin said when she saw the situation.

Lin Xian frowned and immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to search this floor. He said directly: "Forget it, let's go up to the 8th floor."

He decided to prioritize safety. Although there were many equipment in the research hall that could be used for swallowing, it would take a lot of time. Now the entire institute was leaking water, so he had no choice but to give up.

Lin Xian also thought about arranging people to move whatever could be done, but in this case, the priority would definitely be to move useful supplies rather than consumables for him to consume.

Anyway, after he goes out, he can still go back to the Dragon transport ship at night to devour the "Night Star 2" nuclear-powered turbine processor. Lin Xian still has a scale in his heart to judge which one is safer.

"Wait a moment." Ding Junyi pointed to a floor layout sign on the wall and said, "The information archive room is just ahead. I think it's necessary to go take a look. There are many things in this research institute that are difficult to explain. If we can get more useful information, it will definitely help us."

Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, it shouldn't be far."

The three of them walked right into the water-filled passage and headed towards the information archive room.

Because the height of the 9th floor is almost equal to that of a -story building, some confidential research institutes and archives are separated in a separate area. Just after turning the corner, the empty passage ahead was filled with clear water.

Hua Hua Hua~
There were only three people's footsteps in the passage, and the sound of them stepping on the water kept echoing, which sounded a bit weird.

Soon, the three of them walked through the passage to another area on the 9th floor, went up the stairs, and what appeared in their sight was a corridor that seemed to be tightly blocked.

This place has not been flooded yet. There is a yellow gate in front of a straight corridor, and there are access control and security systems outside.

"It seems that this is the information archive room."

In fact, Lin Xian did not hold out much hope, because the intranet system had been completely transferred, and the top-secret information would definitely not be left in any paper form. However, since he brought Director Ding here, he also hoped to make some discoveries.

At this point, he was highly suspicious that the marked bait in the afternoon was the work of this foundation. This also coincided with the fact that the Foundation was ahead of the Federation and the Phoenix in many research fields. However, what he couldn't understand was why they had to leave the Phoenix logo on purpose to do this.

Shuqin studied the terrain and said, "There is a staircase in this area. We can go directly up to the 8th floor from this staircase instead of going back the same way."

Lin Xian nodded, walked over and operated the mechanical heart on the door of the archive room, and the tightly constructed door was quickly opened by him.

Creak~
The door opened, and the lights in the information archive room were lit up one by one. The neatly displayed information cabinets were originally filled with storage server systems with storage media, but now they had been completely emptied. Only one terminal server was left to support the basic service facilities of the base.

Lin Xian walked in to take a look, then sighed and said, "Sure enough, but it looks like they had plenty of time to evacuate, it doesn't look like they encountered some monster and fled in a hurry."

Shuqin nodded. "Nothing important is missing, and they haven't been attacked. They should have evacuated in an orderly manner. I guess only the flooded area on the lower floor may have encountered something."

"And their testing ground." Lin Xian said.

At this time, Ding Junyi came over without saying a word, came to the computer at the control console, and started operating something with her fingers without saying a word.

"Generally, large organizations are very strict in emergency control. For example, measures that require evacuation of the entire territory, such as fire, anthrax, and air raids, must be covered with information saturation to ensure that personnel in various special positions and special work areas are notified. Therefore, evacuations like these, in addition to internal communications, intranet emails, regional broadcasts, and light alarms, also include personnel transmission chains. In addition to the intranet system, the basic system will also receive this information. In order to evacuate, the basic system will not be offline, because it is a basic life-support system that controls circuits, access control, air, etc., so..."

"The evacuation notice will also be received on this terminal."

clap clap.

Ding Junyi swiftly typed the last keystroke, and a red log message immediately appeared on the computer at the control console. As she said, this was indeed an evacuation notice for the entire pipeline!

Lin Xian's face changed. He didn't expect Director Ding to be an expert in computers. He hurried over with Shu Qin and saw the screen showing
[Emergency Evacuation (Level 5)][16:15]

"16:15??"

"What's wrong, Captain Lin?" Shuqin asked.

Lin Xian's pupils condensed, and he immediately said: "At this time, KIKI and I should have just left the research institute!!"

Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian in confusion: "What happened to you guys here?"

Lin Xian's eyes darkened: "I'll tell you in detail later, let's go first."

At this moment, Lin Xian felt a little confused. Was this a coincidence or deliberate?

Kaka~
Suddenly, a slight sound came from the machine room in the distance. Lin Xian and Shu Qin immediately raised their weapons and looked in the same direction.

"Captain Lin, I'll go take a look."

Shu Qin was about to leave when Lin Xian reached out to stop her. He then gestured for her to stand behind Director Ding. The two of them formed a guard formation to protect Ding Junyi in the middle.

Lin Xian pulled out the black gun, and with his left hand he grabbed into the air, and an automatic rifle was quickly produced. He walked in front, moving along the narrow server passage toward the back of the information archive room, gradually approaching the place where the sound came from.

Click~
The sound came again, this time clearer. Lin Xian frowned, slowed down his pace, walked out of the corner, and found that there was a passage to the computer room and power distribution room behind him.

So Lin Xian walked in slowly and pushed open the lightly closed dustproof door.

Just as Lin Xian's eyes swept over, his pupils suddenly shrank, because he saw a strange black shadow standing in the corner of the dim machine room. The black shadow had two long horns like sheep's horns on his head and a body covered with black beard, which looked like a human yet not a human.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian didn't even hesitate and fired directly with his automatic rifle.

Bang bang bang! !

Bullets jetted out and hit the black shadow, immediately bringing out some waste residue like firewood. At this time, the black shadow seemed to be startled, and stretched out a few hands with long black claws and ran directly towards the corridor on the right.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xian's eyes. This was the first time he encountered a strange creature that could run away after being hit. Didn't it always pounce on him directly in the past?

The thought flashed through his mind, but Lin Xian did not hesitate at all. The power armor transmitted the surging power. He rushed out in one step, picked up the black gun and prepared to kill this strange thing.

If you can't beat them, you have to run away. If you can beat them, you must beat them until they are dead. Now that Lin Xian knows about the dark mark, he will not easily let these things mark him and his teammates, otherwise who knows what troubles will arise next time at night.

rub!
Lin Xian rushed out, and because he was going too fast, he stepped on the wall at the corner and used the momentum to catch up, but as soon as he turned around, he saw an even more bizarre scene.

There was a dead end in front of the corner, which was a computer room. There was no way out at all. The black shadow was clinging to the wall at this time, and its entire body was getting smaller, as if it was shrinking towards some hole.

Lin Xian was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He picked up the black gun and threw it out with explosive force!
hum!
The power armor's microcomputer controlled the black gun's flight control engine to perform secondary acceleration in the air. The black gun shot out directly with a piercing whistle, and immediately pierced through the remaining side of the black shadow's torso!
The black gun pierced the wall diagonally, bringing out a large amount of wood chips.

goo goo~
All that was heard was a buzzing sound like a toad from the black shadow, and then it quickly drilled into a narrow ventilation duct. Its sharp black claws scraped against the metal wall of the passage, making a harsh sound, and soon disappeared.

"My uncle's!"

Lin Xian rushed over and raised his hand to retract the black gun. Only then did he see that the ventilation duct was only the size of a palm, and the strange thing had shrunk into it like an octopus.

"Captain Lin." Shuqin followed in with Ding Junyi, "Did he run away?"

Lin Xian nodded, weighed the black gun in his hand, reached out and picked up some black debris from the tip of the gun, and immediately frowned.

wet?

"Be careful, it could be something in the water."

Lin Xian looked up and saw Ding Junyi, who had followed him in, with a flushed face, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she gasped for breath, her eyes sparkling. He couldn't help but ask her, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, don't worry about me. This place is indeed... very dangerous."

Lin Xian couldn't help but hold his forehead. This woman said it was dangerous, but why did she look so secretly happy and orgasmic?

Shu Qin next to him looked puzzled. Lin Xian quickly said, "Let's go to the 8th floor and take a look. Let's avoid any water as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Then the three people came out of the information archive room and walked along the corridor to the area exit. When they came out of the corridor, they found that there was a large machine assembly workshop outside with a high-ceiling mechanical fence. The workshop was facing the elevator of a hangar. At this time, the entire hangar was submerged in water, and the stairs were at the end of a straight corridor.

"Captain Lin, look!" Shu Qin suddenly shouted at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian looked in the direction where Shu Qin was shouting at this time, and his eyes changed immediately, because in the deep water of the sunken hangar, the upper body of a huge dark green mecha emerged from the water, its power core had been shut down, and its combat arm hung down into the water.

"T8-Z Vulcan military assault type!!" Lin Xian exclaimed as soon as he saw it.
