Chapter 570: Fog Ghost's Persistence
Deathly silence... a silence as thick as solidified asphalt.
It seems that Xiao Jin's consciousness is not completely asleep. Like an undercurrent lurking beneath the ice, a trace of alertness is always hanging over the abyss.
And then, it came.
It's not a sound, it's a feeling.
A dull, madly malicious vibration came from the distant abyss, like countless heavy footsteps beating on the bones of the earth.
First it penetrates the cold and thick soil, and finally seeps into the bones and muscles and reaches the soul.
Boom...boom...boom...
Like the sound of war drums from the depths of hell, they were getting louder and louder! Accompanied by low chants, like ancient whispers.
Xiao Jin's eyelashes trembled violently in the darkness! But the next second, all the sounds disappeared.
………………
In the following days, the players basically huddled in their rooms, waiting for the end of the game.
It seemed as if everyone had subconsciously forgotten the fight that night.
The players who had the upper hand did not become complacent, and the players who lost continued to smile.
And those mutated fog ghosts didn't seem to give up. From time to time, they would gather teams of infected people to attack the base.
Woo-woo-woo-!
The air raid sirens, shrill enough to tear the eardrums, blasted without warning!
The sharp, desperate, and extremely penetrating sound instantly tore through the dead silence of the entire base, like countless steel needles piercing the eardrums and brains of every sleeping person!
The entire underground air raid shelter seemed to be thrown into a boiling oil pan! It was boiling instantly!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"All combatants! Get into defensive positions immediately! Repeat! Get into defensive positions immediately!"
"Non-combatants! Get to deep bunkers! Quick! Quick!"
"Close the gates of channels A3 and B7! The power grid is activated at maximum power!"
The piercing broadcast, the chaotic sound of footsteps, the terrified cries, the loud bang of the heavy closing of the metal gate, and the hum of the overloaded energy engine...
Countless voices were forcibly kneaded together by this life-threatening alarm, forming a huge, suffocating chaotic noise storm that swept through every passage and hit everyone's nerves!
At that time, Xiao Jin was lying on his back on the bed watching a TV series on his tablet. There was a plate of grapes on the bedside table beside him! The big purple grapes were tempting, and there were crystal water drops hanging on them.
Moreover, the grapes were chilled when they were stored in the space, and when they were taken out and placed outside, they exuded a cool scent.
After hearing the sound, Xiao Jin decisively turned over and got out of bed. His movements were swift and silent, like a cheetah ready to pounce, and he reached the door in a few steps.
In the past few days, although the mutated fog ghosts that came to attack brought some difficulties, they did not cause much damage to the base. But today is different.
The base's alarm had never been so loud before, and the soldiers outside were in a panic.
When I opened the door, the corridor outside was already in chaos.
The panicked survivors screamed like headless flies and stumbled towards the passages leading to deeper bunkers under the rough pushing and scolding of the guards.
The soldiers were fully armed, with oil paint on their faces and fierce eyes. They rushed towards the elevators and defense nodes leading to the ground like a black torrent going upstream.
The pungent smell of sweat, the fearful smell of urine, and the cold smell of metal mixed together and made people feel sick.
"Wen Jin, something happened. A lot of fog ghosts came."
As soon as he went out, Xiao Jin was stopped by Yu Liu. He had detection tools, so he knew the situation outside.
After what happened in the base, the other players naturally couldn't stay in the room any longer, so they came out one by one with weapons in hand.
"Well, I plan to go take a look." Xiao Jin nodded calmly, and then his figure was like a nimble fish, quickly moving through the gaps between the chaotic crowds and the ranks of soldiers.
Her goal was clear: the elevator platform leading to the nearest ground observation point.
Xiao Jin was extremely fast. He avoided the crowd and ran onto the platform in no time. When he encountered a wall of people on the way, he teleported through it.
Before the people around her could react, they saw a flashing figure disappear.
The lifting platform made a heavy humming sound, carrying the last batch of reinforcements and Xiao Jin, breaking through the layers of thick protective gates and rising rapidly.
When the platform finally came to a stop, the heavy alloy door slid open.
A strong wind carrying a strong smell of blood, gunpowder, burning flesh, and some indescribable sweet and greasy smell rushed in like the breath of hell! Instantly dispelling all the smells brought up from underground.
But the scene before them made these battle-hardened soldiers gasp!
Outside the main entrance of the base's huge air-raid shelter, the originally spacious and solid buffer plaza has now turned into a living hell!
The huge pale beam of light from the searchlight was like the angry finger of a god, madly scanning and cutting through the thick night.
Wherever the beam of light reached, there were densely packed figures surging like a rotting tide! Hundreds, thousands! No, more!
Their clothes were ragged, their limbs were twisted and deformed, their skin was purple and festering in large patches, and their eye sockets were sunken, burning with an inhuman, turbid and crazy dark red light!
The most unbelievable thing is.
Even though the poisonous fog had been falling for almost a month, these people did not look very thin, and their exposed skin was still quite elastic.
So how did these people survive in this time when there was a shortage of food and clothing and most supplies were contaminated by toxins?
No one dared to think about it too much.
Now, the minds of these infected people have been completely controlled by the fog ghosts, and they only have hatred and greed in their hearts towards the ordinary survivors!
They charged forward fearlessly, facing the fierce firepower that poured down like a metal storm from the base's outer defense towers!
The large-caliber machine gun bullets easily tore and shattered the infected in the front row!
Broken limbs and arms mixed with black and red sticky liquid splattered all over the sky, and fragments of internal organs and bone residues splashed on the cold concrete ground and fortifications like dirty raindrops!
However, the soldiers in the base did not care too much about these infected people. What they were really worried about were the mutated fog ghosts hiding in the crowd and the large number of fog ghosts lurking in the fog.
Sure enough, while someone was leading the way, the shadows in the fog began to move. Then, large numbers of fog ghosts rushed out from the red fog.
"It's a fog ghost!!!"
The infected person below changed his expression drastically and pointed at the fog ghost and shouted.
Even though they had given up hope, people still couldn't help but feel afraid when they saw so many fog ghosts.
The next second, the fog ghosts began to attack indiscriminately. No matter whether they were infected or the army of the base, they could not escape their claws.
The base commander on the platform silently clenched his hands, and the other soldiers also looked reluctant.
