Chapter 567 Something happened at the base!
Xiao Jin pulled up Zhao Chun, who was stunned by the rubble, and said in a firm voice: "This place will collapse soon, we have to leave quickly."
The mission has not yet ended, which means the crisis is still there.
Zhao Chun's pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at the entrance which was constantly collapsing and being torn apart by the shock wave!
He quickly shouted to the soldiers who were still able to move, and his hoarse roar even drowned out the loud noise of the collapse.
"Everyone! Quick! Throw away all unnecessary weights! Run! Run with all your might!!"
Gravel rained down, and the ground beneath my feet groaned in its death groaning.
Following Zhao Chun's fierce attack, the rest of the people were like frightened birds, running desperately on the edge of death as the landslide continued.
"Don't look back, keep running. You are not allowed to stop until I tell you to." Zhao Chun gritted his teeth. Even though the rubble above their heads fell on their bodies and heads, leaving holes in their bodies, their pace did not slow down at all.
I ran like this for half an hour.
Every second was stretched to an infinite length by the loud rumbling noise behind them and the shaking ground beneath their feet, and the smoke and dust made it impossible to open their eyes.
Halfway through, a soldier suddenly stepped on empty air, and half of his body fell into the abyss that suddenly opened up! "Ah——!" The desperate cry was drowned by the dust.
In a flash, a white hand tightly grasped his wrist! The fingertips of the hand were still covered with mud mixed with dust and blood.
It’s Xiao Jin!
At this moment, half of her body was leaning out of the edge of the cliff, the ice-blue wings behind her were flapping continuously, and the muscles in her arms were bulging, and she forcibly dragged the man back from the gates of hell.
"Hiss..." The rescued soldier was still in shock. After coming out, he subconsciously glanced at the deep pit under his feet - the densely packed, coldly shining broken steel bars in it were like the fangs of hell, stabbing straight up!
He gasped in fear, cold sweat instantly soaking his back. The look he gave Xiao Jin was filled with endless gratitude for surviving the disaster.
"Thank you... thank you!"
After pulling the man up, Xiao Jin let go and said, "Keep running, don't stop."
"Yeah." The soldier rushed forward with his head covered.
Finally, the sound of collapse behind him gradually subsided, and the smoke and dust dispersed to reveal a ray of hazy sky light.
Xiao Jin's tense nerves relaxed. In the corner of his vision, he saw the scarlet words [Side Quest: Destroy the Mother Nest] on the panel silently jumping to [Completed].
The tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and the players smiled a little. It was not just for the generous rewards of the side quests, but also for the points accumulated by killing fog ghosts along the way, which skyrocketed at a snowball speed.
They really fought their way out with their punches and kicks!
And the [Purifying Serum] dropped by those special fog ghosts was also quickly looted by them. It was a heavy harvest, and it was definitely a bumper harvest.
Soon, everyone found the previously abandoned convoy.
Fortunately, it seemed that the main force attracted most of the hatred of the fog ghosts, and the wounded and vehicles left behind were miraculously intact.
A rare genuine smile appeared on Zhao Chun's face: "Let's go back to the base!"
Engines roared as the convoy rolled across the barren land. Although the mother nest was destroyed, who knew how many more such tumors were lurking on this dying planet?
The fog ghosts here have been eradicated and will not appear again, but other places are still full of murderous intentions.
………………
The return journey was unusually smooth. In less than half a day, around seven o'clock in the evening, a familiar outline finally appeared at the end of everyone's sight - they had arrived at the base!
Zhao Chun's fingers trembled slightly with excitement.
This time, not only did I complete the mission, but I also successfully came back alive!
It's a pity for those teammates...
Thinking of this, Zhao Chun sighed softly.
However, the closer he got to the huge air-raid shelter entrance of the base, the smile on Zhao Chun's lips seemed to be frozen by ice and disappeared bit by bit.
Instead, there was a heavy sense of solemnity and biting coldness.
The thick door of the air-raid shelter was covered with hideous chisel marks and various fresh bullet holes!
The coagulated black blood splattered on the cold metal and concrete floor, which was shocking. The cordon was also torn to pieces, with broken weapon parts and fragments of suspected human tissue scattered around.
In the air, the smell of gunpowder mixed with a faint smell of blood had not yet dissipated.
Xiao Jin became slightly alert; something happened at the base!
It turned out that just three hours ago, the base had encountered the same thing as Xiao Jin and the others.
A huge team of survivors, bewitched and instigated by the mutated fog ghosts, attacked the base like a swarm of crazy ants!
There was a massive crowd of people, numbering at least seven or eight hundred. Their eyes were red as they rushed forward roaring and hacking at anyone and smashing anything they saw, having completely lost their minds.
The guard team that came out to negotiate were all injured, and some were almost hacked to death.
The base commander initially tried to give warnings and persuasions in a gentle voice, but his voice was drowned out by the fanatical roar.
Seeing that the defense line was about to be breached and his own people were about to be attacked, the base commander's eyes flashed fiercely, and he squeezed out a cold order from between his teeth: "Open fire! Suppress!"
The sound of gunfire instantly tore through the tranquility of the evening.
Ultimately, the attackers were ruthlessly repelled, and except for the earlier guard squad, the base suffered little damage.
But the price was that the ordinary survivors in the base, who were already terrified, looked at the soldiers with completely changed eyes.
They believed that the base was no longer a guardian, but a terrifying "devil" stained with the blood of their own kind.
After listening to the base commander's sad summary, Zhao Chun, who rushed in, finally felt relieved and let out a long breath.
As long as there is no subversive chaos! As for the fear of the survivors? A hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Chun's eyes.
In this apocalyptic world, without the protection of the base's high walls, they couldn't even survive a day outside, and couldn't make any waves...
"Okay, don't worry about this. Now let's talk about the situation of your mission!" The base commander sat on the other side of the long table, facing Xiao Jin and other players.
She nodded slightly, waiting for Zhao Chun's answer.
Zhao Chun immediately stood up and reported the details of the mission and casualties to the base commander.
"There were a total of 33 people in the blasting team when we set out, but now there are only eight back, three of whom are seriously injured and in critical condition... It's my fault." Zhao Chun gritted his teeth and lowered his head when he said the last part.
The tough guy who believed in shedding blood but not tears all his life, now had tears in his eyes.
The base commander said with a sad face: "This is not your fault. They died for the base, for protecting all of us. They are heroes... and so are you."
Zhao Chun raised his head suddenly.
Hero? Me too?
Then he straightened his back and said in a hoarse but decisive voice: "But fortunately I have fulfilled my mission. The mother nest is destroyed!"
